1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal hull.

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 2: That for me.

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 3: I'm a man, I'm forty.

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,079
Speaker 4: I've heard so many players say, well, I want to

5
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 4: be happy. You want to be happy for a day?

6
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 4: Edo State is that?

7
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: Whoo whoo?

8
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 3: And no Dan and tie Dan Evenstein.

9
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: You know you called it speed test Saturday, and instead

10
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: of that, I think we got something that I would

11
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: call skin of your teeth Saturday.

12
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 3: You know, not a lot of upsets, but we had

13
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 3: a bunch.

14
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 1: Of close games, more than enough reason to be plenty

15
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: entertained by college Football Week twelve, which, of course we

16
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: will talk through here over the next hour hour and

17
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: fifteen or so.

18
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 3: Dan, how are you welcome back? Good?

19
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 4: You take your pick squirt through Saturday, anything you want,

20
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 4: you know, the sneak by Saturday. There's plenty you can

21
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 4: do with it. When you look at some of the

22
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 4: headlining results, I guess other than Georgia not a squeaker.

23
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 4: Georgia over Texas not a squeaker. There were a few squeakers.

24
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 4: There were a few not so squeaky games. I'm good,

25
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 4: I'm I'm charged up.

26
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 3: Ty.

27
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 4: We've had a full day of ridiculousness. We've had a

28
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 4: full day of hopes being met with how exciting some

29
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 4: of these games were, hopes being dashed for a lot

30
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 4: of people out there whose teams got out to potential

31
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 4: upset sprints and then couldn't make it work in the end.

32
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 4: There's a lot to talk about. There are a ton

33
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 4: of implications within conferences for next week, for the postseason,

34
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 4: for next season. You take your pick. This was a

35
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 4: great Saturday slash, Friday, Saturday slash, Friday, Thursday, Wednesday, Tuesday, Saturday.

36
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 4: However you want to quantify this week twelve, it was terrific.

37
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 4: We've got a lot to dive into. I'll start wherever

38
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 4: you want to. I'm choked up thinking about it. Where

39
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 4: are we going.

40
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 3: Drink some water?

41
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: So look, we had we had seven of the top

42
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: twenty five teams go down, those being Alabama, Texas, Louisville, Iowa, Pitt, USF,

43
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: and Cincinnati. I counted yes on my seven fingers to

44
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: make sure I got that right. I had put down

45
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: here on my note sheeted disclaimer that BYU was playing

46
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: a late game.

47
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 2: Here.

48
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 1: Does not look like BYU is going to lose this one.

49
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: They're currently mopping up on TCU at halftime. Try as

50
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: we might Dan, there's almost no way to avoid the

51
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: fact that we need to start with what went down

52
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: in the SEC. You know, we're a national show, and

53
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: I know a bunch of national shows often get dunked

54
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: on for talking a lot about the SEC, and we

55
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: try to be balanced here, right, we're two guys from

56
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: the North. But nevertheless, I think we have to start

57
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: with what went down in the SEC. They were the

58
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: most significant games of Week twelve, and the biggest one,

59
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: I think on the heels of what went down in

60
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: week twelve is what we saw with Oklahoma and Alabama.

61
00:02:58,919 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 3: I agree.

62
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 4: I tried to pitch you on leading off with Katon

63
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 4: Hawser throwing an absolute dime for ECU taking down Memphis, right,

64
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 4: but I was denied the opportunity to expand on a

65
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 4: beautiful game winning pass and drive from the Pirates over Memphis,

66
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 4: which has thrown the America not into disarray but into

67
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 4: a level of intrigue with Navy, and look, man, we'll

68
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 4: get there.

69
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: I went through all of the scenarios at least that

70
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: I could think up, and I will talk through what

71
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: that looks like a little bit later on in this episode.

72
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: It's gonna get really interesting, Like of all the playoff

73
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: stuff that I think we're going to put ourselves through

74
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: over the next like three to four weeks or so,

75
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: you could make a really strong case that, at least

76
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: for a good chunk of our audience, the most interesting

77
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: playoff chase is for that one G six spot. And

78
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: I do believe it will be one G six spot

79
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: now that Duke is out of the picture. But that's

80
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: going to be interesting. I'll talk about that ok a

81
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: little bit later on. In the meantime, though I believe

82
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: we both did pick Oklahoma.

83
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 3: We did.

84
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: I also believe that only one member of this broadcasting

85
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: dynamo had the foresight, the knowledge, the gumption to pick

86
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 1: the exact twenty three to twenty one score, Dan, and

87
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: that will be yours, truly, congratulations. I have not picked

88
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: anything right all year. Not only did I do, we

89
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: both did.

90
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 3: I had him out right. That's pretty good, both had

91
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 3: him out right. Not only did we both pick.

92
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: Them outright, but I actually had the correct score. And

93
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: I'm going to hang my hat on that because it

94
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: has been a rough year of picking games.

95
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 4: Dog, this was your Miguel Rojas can't connect on anything

96
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 4: and then hits a big one and it was all

97
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 4: worth it. Okay, So, yes, Oklahoma wins this game. They

98
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 4: win this game, and I know you're gonna have a

99
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 4: lot that stood out to you, But they win this

100
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 4: game because they were the better team the trenches. They

101
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 4: were the better team in big moments.

102
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 3: They were the better.

103
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 4: Team to come up with big plays when needed, and

104
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 4: they were, you know, able to force turnovers in a

105
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 4: way and then take advantage obviously with a pick six.

106
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,239
Speaker 4: They had the best duo of brothers in this game

107
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 4: with the Bowens, and they were a team that just

108
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 4: never lost sight of how they are supposed to win

109
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 4: a game like this given their roster, and that was

110
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 4: going to be in the trenches. That was going to

111
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 4: be taking advantage of some you know, deficiencies on Alabama's

112
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 4: offensive line, especially the right side of Alabama's offensive line

113
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 4: at times, and that they weren't offensively going to try

114
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 4: and play outside of themselves. No, and when push came

115
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,679
Speaker 4: to shove late in the game, they just made play

116
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 4: after play after play on defense without their best pass rushure,

117
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 4: without their most disruptive defensive player in our Mason Thomas,

118
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 4: Oklahoma is now for whatever their own deficiencies on whatever

119
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 4: side of the ball, which is probably not talking about

120
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 4: the defense. They're now on an Alabama winning streak.

121
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: That is correct. Officially, that is correct. So look, the

122
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: thing we both highlighted when we did the preview for

123
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: the Oklahoma Alabama game in week twelve was the Oklahoma

124
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: pass rush, and we both had a question as to

125
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: whether or not that Oklahoma pass rush would be good

126
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: enough to get the Tye Simpson to speed him up

127
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: to force some mistakes. I didn't see the final count.

128
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what the total number of pressures was.

129
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: I know at halftime it was ten pressures on ty Simpson,

130
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: and they showed it at halftime what his numbers looked

131
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: like under pressure, And as you might expect, like every

132
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: quarterback in college football, when they're pressured, their numbers go down,

133
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: ty Simpson's numbers went down. All told, Oklahoma on defense

134
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: was able to force three turnovers that amounted to seventeen

135
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: points off of those turnovers, which ultimately I think is

136
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: what swung the game. This is clearly, to your point,

137
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: not a dynamic, high scoring Oklahoma offense. But John Mattier

138
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: is dynamic. He is very good when he has to

139
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: find a way to make a play they're just not

140
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: gonna blow the doors off you when they've got the ball.

141
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: And also, of note, they know it.

142
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 3: They know it.

143
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: There's a lot of value in this life about being

144
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: self aware. Oklahoma knows exactly what it is. On offense,

145
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: they know they're limited. They know they're not gonna score

146
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: thirty eight points a game. That is not who they are.

147
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: They're gonna lean on their defense. They're gonna get as

148
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: many big plays as they can from Jommettier in that offense,

149
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: and that's how they want to win. And they did

150
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: win this one. They did win this they did twenty

151
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: three to twenty one. I think they're in the driver's

152
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: seat for a playoff spot now by virtue of beating Alabama.

153
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: A couple teams in front, well we'll talk about something

154
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: just in front of them.

155
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 4: But the road that they've traveled, both in the SEC

156
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 4: and in beating Michigan, their resume is just such that

157
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 4: there's not a lot of teams that you know, can

158
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 4: compare in terms of the week in week out of

159
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 4: their resume. Can we But we should say something that

160
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 4: I think is also true, like the two things can

161
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 4: be true at the same time. If this game were

162
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 4: played a hundred times. I'm not sure Oklahoma wins fifty

163
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 4: of them given what they were and were not able

164
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 4: to accomplish on offense, you know, like they sneak by

165
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 4: this game, winning the turnover marchin three nothing right that. Yes,

166
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 4: they were the better team in the trenches, but to

167
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 4: beat Alabama with what sixteen offensive points like it doesn't

168
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 4: take I'm my saying this is not meant to take

169
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 4: anything away from Oklahoma because you win however you can win,

170
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 4: and it was an incredible performance from Oklahoma. They were

171
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 4: the they were the winners in this game. Winning as

172
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 4: a skill. They had more of those skills today. But

173
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 4: it's not exactly a replicable formula for beating the twenty

174
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 4: twenty five Alabama Crimson Tide. They were just able to

175
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 4: get away with it today by making the big plays

176
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 4: in bigger moments more often. I just wouldn't recommend teams

177
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 4: looking at this as like a blueprint to beating Alabama.

178
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 3: That's all now.

179
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: I mean, they've got the defense, as I said, to

180
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: put pressure on the quarterback to speed things up, to

181
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: change the game plan if you're Kalin de Boor and

182
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: Ryan Grubb, and that is essentially what Oklahoma did. There

183
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: is probably a limit to that because eventually, if they

184
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: do find their way into the playoff, eventually they're going

185
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: to find a team that can score on them. Eventually

186
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to play from behind. And this is

187
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: not necessarily an offense that's built to do that. But

188
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: when the defense is firing, when they're able to change

189
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: the game, when they're able to keep it close, and

190
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: when they're able to put the ball in the hands

191
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: of a dynamic quarterback like John Matier when the game

192
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: is close, you know, they give themselves a good chance

193
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 1: to win. They did win this one, twenty three to

194
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: twenty one. I don't know what it looks like out

195
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: of a thousand simulations, but this was the one that

196
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: mattered to where I think in the driver's seat now.

197
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: As I said, for a playoff bid, They've got two

198
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: home games left against Missouri and LSU, both of those

199
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: I think look pretty winnable. They're almost certainly now going

200
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: to jump into the top ten as a result of

201
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: this win, if only because the team in front of

202
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: them in Texas lost. If they went out there in

203
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: the playoff, I feel pretty confident saying that at this

204
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: point and I'm with you, and on the Bama side, Look,

205
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 1: they're still in the driver's seat to get to the

206
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: SEC title game even with this loss. This was only

207
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: their first conference loss. They had the loss Week one

208
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: against Florida State, but this is only their first conference loss.

209
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: They've got the tiebreaker over Georgia because they won that

210
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: game back at the end of September, and basically, as

211
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: long as they win the iron ball, they're making it through.

212
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: So there's still very much in front of Alabama. This

213
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: is not a soul crushing loss. It just lost number two.

214
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: They probably can't afford another one for a whole multitude

215
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: of reasons, but they're still in a pretty good spot

216
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: despite the fact that they lost this one by two.

217
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 4: At all I see, I still think it's soul crushing.

218
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 4: I think you have good perspective, but I think if

219
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 4: you're a Bama fan and you watch the way that

220
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 4: this offense was unable to rise to the moment in

221
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 4: that second half, once again not growing into the game,

222
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 4: which has been We talked about this on the preview show,

223
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 4: that this offense has just stalled out too much in

224
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 4: these second halves and a lot of that has to

225
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 4: do with them being unable to control anything on the ground,

226
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 4: and it's a red zone thing, it's a prolonging drive thing,

227
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 4: it's a wearing out defense thing to give yourself easier

228
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 4: opportunities in the second half thing. And we saw it

229
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 4: once again that Oklahoma didn't have to dedicate much manpower

230
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 4: to stopping Alabama on the ground because Bama themselves have

231
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 4: been unable to figure out how to build a more

232
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 4: complete offense. And when the Bama offense is humming through

233
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 4: the air, it's nearly impossible to stop consistently. But when

234
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 4: you have a defense as talented and as angry and

235
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 4: as varied as Oklahoma's is and was on Saturday, it

236
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 4: becomes a little bit more manageable.

237
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: And we said that in the broad in the preview

238
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 1: broadcasts as well, right, that the one dimensional nature of

239
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: the offense was something that we were just at that point.

240
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: It was a curiosity to see how it would fare

241
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: against a really tough Oklahoma defense that can rush the

242
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 1: passer and can do all the things that we saw

243
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: them do today. So your final score was twenty three

244
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: to twenty one, a huge win for brand Vannables, is

245
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: a huge win for Oklahoma. It is not lost on you.

246
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: It is not lost on me that Oklahoma has had

247
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: a brutal SEC schedule. We talked about it all season long,

248
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: We talked about it all pre season long. The fact

249
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: that they are here now, I think on the doorstep

250
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: of a ten and two season with that schedule, with

251
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: a lot of new people on that roster, that speaks

252
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: volumes about what brand Venables has done this year, even

253
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: if it isn't always sexy in terms of what they're

254
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: doing on offense to get to this point. They deserve

255
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: all the success they have coming to them because yeah,

256
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 1: because of the job that they've done so.

257
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 4: And by the way, one of the like the headline

258
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 4: new guy is Jaydan, not the running back from cal

259
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 4: You know, a mix of just not working out and

260
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 4: being beat up has not contributed basically.

261
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 3: Anything this season and they're still doing it.

262
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, where do you want to go next? What jumped

263
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: out to you next? I think we should start in

264
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: the SEC. There's like two other games in particular that

265
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: we probably need to lead off with.

266
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 5: Here.

267
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 4: We can go just by ranking and talk Texas A

268
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 4: and M coming back, because then it's easy to get

269
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 4: to Georgia Texas and we will momentarily, but because Texas

270
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 4: A and M came in number three in the country

271
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 4: and fell down.

272
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 3: Thirty to three.

273
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I was watching this game. Jaw a

274
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: gape thirty to three. This is the tail. Two haves

275
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: this game thirty to three. South Carolina led at halftime.

276
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 4: It's also kind of an A and M thing. By

277
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 4: the way, the weird, messy, horrific first halves cleaned up

278
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 4: continue A.

279
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: And M scored twenty eight unanswered to win this one.

280
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: It was their largest comeback in program history. They were

281
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 1: down twenty seven. They needed this one to stay unbeaten.

282
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: It was a putrid first half for Texas A and M.

283
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: They kept tripping over themselves. They could not get any

284
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: momentum going. Marcel Reid was dreadful. Yes, in the first half,

285
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: he had three first half interceptions or three first half turnovers,

286
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: but the two interceptions were bad. It felt like South

287
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: Carolina was in complete control of this game and like

288
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: there was no way Texas A and M was going

289
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: to be able to regain momentum. But then the second

290
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: half came and second half was a different story. The

291
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: South Carolina offense effectively stalled out their second half possessions.

292
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: I listed them off. They went turnover on downs, punt punt, punt,

293
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: turnover on downs. That was it. Meanwhile, yet A and

294
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: M scoring on their first four drives in the second half,

295
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: they grabbed the lead. For as bad as it started

296
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: for Marcel Reid, he ends up finishing with a career

297
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: high four hundred and thirty nine passing yards to go

298
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: along with three touchdowns. So I don't know where we

299
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: start with this. Do we start on the A and

300
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: M side, with the fact that they came from behind,

301
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: that they did what they did, They maintain their lead

302
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: in the sec they remain unbeaten, they remain a top

303
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: three team in the country. Or do we talk about

304
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: the South Carolina collapse? Which one do you want to

305
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: go with first?

306
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 4: I think we should start positive with A and M.

307
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 4: Because this has been the story of A and M's year,

308
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 4: when they blow teams out, when they get teams fired,

309
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 4: teams coaches fired, when they explode in these second halves.

310
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 4: That this is what has defined them this year, That

311
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 4: they get better over the course of the game, that

312
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 4: they get off the field. On defense, quicker and quicker,

313
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 4: I think they're the number one third down defense in America.

314
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 4: I believe if they're not one, they're in the top three,

315
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 4: they're not four, and that they just shut teams down

316
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 4: on defense in the second half and make adjustments and

317
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 4: play angrier and control the ground. And they didn't even

318
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 4: really control the ground that much on offense today, which

319
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 4: I think sort of underscores where when Texas A and

320
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 4: M is succeeding, a lot of that comes on the ground.

321
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 4: For as much flash as Marcel Reid provides, it's been

322
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 4: Ruben Owens, it's been the guys on the ground that

323
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 4: have really paced things. Look, it's very difficult to fall

324
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 4: down thirty three and then make it a game in

325
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 4: a quarter. This didn't come down to the end in

326
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 4: terms of when South Carolina allowed Texas A and M

327
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 4: or Textas A and M earned their way back into

328
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 4: this game. This was by the start of the fourth quarter.

329
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 4: It was a game, yeah, exactly. And so I think

330
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 4: there's a certain amount of metal fortitude it takes to

331
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 4: be down twenty seven points and say to yourself, let's

332
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 4: just go out and operate and see what happens. And

333
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 4: South Carolina the play calling was terrible. Now, I consider

334
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 4: myself to be a little bit of an expert going

335
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 4: up big in the first half after watching what Oregon

336
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 4: did in the Alimoble about a decade ago, so I know,

337
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 4: I kept hearing this on. I think it was like

338
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 4: the halftime shows on ESPN, like the Anatomy of an

339
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 4: upset and what it takes. And really Texas A and

340
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 4: M gave South Carolina the blueprint to beat them, right,

341
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 4: it's taking advantage of the turnovers. But South Carolina in

342
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 4: that second half with an interim play caller offensive coordinator

343
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 4: after Mike schules Leto made a few terrible calls on

344
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 4: high leverage moments on your third and shorts and fourth

345
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 4: in shorts. They're one of the worst running teams in

346
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 4: America and they're just sending a running back into a

347
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 4: nine ten man box like over and over again, taking

348
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 4: the ball out of Lenora's sellers his hands. And he

349
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 4: wasn't great on the ground himself. But if you're going

350
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 4: to do anything to extend drives, maybe have him make

351
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 4: some more decisions and have him have more say in it.

352
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 4: Does that Does that make sense to you?

353
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 3: Yeah?

354
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: I thought Leonora is kind of stunk in this game.

355
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 3: He wasn't that good to be clear. I agree.

356
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought there were passes out there that he missed,

357
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: you know, balls that were high or just errant, and

358
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: I kept waiting for him to switch it on. You know,

359
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 1: this would have been one of those moments where Leonora's

360
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: sellers could have truly become He could have like etched

361
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: himself into the mythology of South Carolina football by engineering

362
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: an upset here. Even after the game got really close late,

363
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 1: I kept like waiting for that moment and it never happened,

364
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: and that, to me was really disappointing. You know, I

365
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 1: want to credit A and M for what they did,

366
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: because digging out of a twenty seven point a hole

367
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 1: is not easy. Finding a way to win with four turnovers,

368
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: going two of eleven on third downs that is really something, Okay,

369
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 1: That is like a multiplier that most teams can achieve.

370
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,479
Speaker 1: And they did it because they're rock solid across the board,

371
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 1: because they've got a good coach, and because it seems

372
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: like this is a team that's figured out how to

373
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: win in a multitude of different ways. So I don't

374
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 1: want to take anything away from them, and certainly Marcel

375
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 1: Reid for getting his game back on track in the

376
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: second half. All of these things are very much to

377
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 1: A and m's credit. By the way, it sounds like

378
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 1: Mike Elcho now has a six year contract extension, so

379
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 1: he presumably will not be on the move amid a

380
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: historic coaching cycle. Credit again to Texas A and M

381
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: for kind of finding their guy, sticking with it, putting

382
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: together this great season in this great program. By the way,

383
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: nothing but continued success to them. I wish them the best.

384
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 4: Yes, and nearly every State trooper providing security in this

385
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 4: game behaved appropriately. Let's be clear, nearly every one of

386
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 4: the troopers providing security in this game behaved appropriately, and

387
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 4: almost all of them were able to stay within the

388
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 4: stadium and not be sent home for trying to bump

389
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 4: Nick Harbor for no reason in the tunnel as he

390
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 4: was walking back from a touchdown.

391
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 3: What was that?

392
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 6: I don't know, man.

393
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the easiest thing to do is stay out

394
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 4: of the player's way. It's Nick Harbor is not an

395
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 4: easy person to miss.

396
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: I saw somebody online mentioned and maybe it was in

397
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: our discord. I don't even know, not a hard person

398
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: of Excuse me, so somebody talking about how the state

399
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: trooper who interacted with two South Carolina players, I believe

400
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: in the Northeast tunnel.

401
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, he treated them.

402
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: As if they were students who had like a red

403
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 1: solo cup, angry that they might have, like an alcoholic

404
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 1: beverage that they weren't supposed to have.

405
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 3: Or something very bizarre.

406
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 4: It was like seeing like a senior walking down a

407
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 4: high school locker room hallway or locker hallway whatever in

408
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 4: a high school and freshman walking towards him and him

409
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,719
Speaker 4: not moving and hitting them in the show like.

410
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 3: It was very odd behavior.

411
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: If you if you don't know what we're talking about,

412
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: if you know to watch the game, just go online

413
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: and run a quick search for like Texas A and

414
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 1: M South Carolina cop and you will see exactly what

415
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 1: we're talking about. Yeah, just a very strange, only in

416
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: college football type of moment that I think we saw.

417
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: Let me say this though about the South Carolina thing.

418
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 5: I was. I was.

419
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 3: I had a visceral.

420
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 1: Reaction to the way that they blew this game.

421
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 3: It was so efficient, bow tie, you gotta tip your cap.

422
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: Texas A and M came back so quickly in the

423
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 1: second half. It was almost immediate that you knew that,

424
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: oh my god, they're gonna South Carolina's gonna blow this game,

425
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: and I felt horrible for the South Carolina people that

426
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: listened to this show. The analogy that I made almost

427
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: immediately to you was that they pulled a Jose Mesa. Sure,

428
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: this was an incredible blown save. And my initial reaction,

429
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: and I know it was knee jerk, and I'm not

430
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: even one hundred percent serious about it, but you could

431
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 1: check the tape, you could check the slack channel. My

432
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: first thought what I sent to you was they got

433
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 1: a fire. They gotta fire Shane Beaver because this was malpractice.

434
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,959
Speaker 1: To lose a game like this felt like malpracticed to me. Yeah,

435
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: And had they won, they would have had a real

436
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: shot at a bowl with a horrible schedule and and

437
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: you know, no shortage of their own deficiencies because they

438
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: got Coastal Carolina left. They play a game against Clemson

439
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: to close out this year. Both of those are at home.

440
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: I think winnable, potentially winnable.

441
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 3: Right sure.

442
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 1: To lose in this manner is just an absolute stomach punch.

443
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: When you had the number three team in the land

444
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: on the ropes in their home stadium and you walk

445
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: away with a one point lost thirty one thirty Just.

446
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 3: Does this change anything?

447
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 4: Does this change anything to about what you feel about

448
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 4: Texas A and M. I mean, they've had close calls

449
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 4: this season, they haven't played an incredible schedule, They've taken

450
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 4: care of business obviously. We talked about how strong they

451
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 4: get in second halves. Does this happening repeatedly against a

452
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 4: team like Arkansas now a team like South Carolina? I

453
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 4: don't know if Texas is built to take advantage of

454
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,959
Speaker 4: this specific weakness. Come on, but well the games in Austin.

455
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 4: It's not an easy game. There's a lot of emotion

456
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 4: behind it. But does it change your outlook about what

457
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 4: they're seeing is nationally in a potential playoff pitcame No.

458
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: It doesn't. Not for me.

459
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 3: I don't think so either.

460
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 5: No.

461
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,239
Speaker 4: I think they sort of have been this and so

462
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 4: they're going to be entertaining one way or the other,

463
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 4: and they'll win or loose.

464
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 1: It's it's not always how you start, it's how you finish.

465
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 1: And I mean they went on a torrid scoring streak

466
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: here twenty eight unanswered to win this one, and still

467
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: South Carolina had a chance at the end. They had

468
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: another chance again and they just like Everything they tried

469
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: in the second half went nowhere. And I don't know

470
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: if that's coaching, I don't know if that's play calling.

471
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's just Texas A and M

472
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: found another gear. It's probably a combination of all those things.

473
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 1: But the manner of which they lost this game was

474
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: like heartbreaking. And again, I didn't even have a dog

475
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: in the fight. I don't even remember who I picked.

476
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 1: Probably didn't matter. I think we probably both were on

477
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: Texas A and M if we picked this game at all.

478
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, but it's this was this was a dagger man,

479
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: what a dog.

480
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 4: It was just much more once you started seeing how

481
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 4: this game was going in the first half, and then

482
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 4: immediately seeing how it was going in the third quarter.

483
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 3: I was rooting for you. We were all rooting for you.

484
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 3: Out damn. You learn something from this, That's all I asked.

485
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 3: It's all I asked.

486
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 1: How long has it since you played the tyre clip?

487
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 4: It's probably been about eleven years. I have no idea.

488
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 4: I found it deep within the archive.

489
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: Georgia thirty five to ten over Texas Dan.

490
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, speaking of doing nothing in the second.

491
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 1: Half, Oh my god, this escalated quickly didn't it. Yes,

492
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 1: At one point we're chatting online, it's like fourteen to ten.

493
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: The next thing, you know, you take a long pe

494
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: as you like to say, and it was thirty five

495
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 1: to ten ballgame. I thought Georgia made Texas will completely pedestrian,

496
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: completely pedestrian in this game.

497
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 4: And I thought Texas did a good job of that

498
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 4: as well for a game they were in the first half.

499
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for a good chunk of this game, for sure.

500
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: I expected this to some extent with the Texas offense.

501
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: But the way that Georgia moved the ball in the

502
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: Texas defense, to me, especially in the second half, that

503
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: is not something I was fully expecting. I didn't think

504
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: they would have this much success against a good Texas defense,

505
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: but they in the second half of this game, especially

506
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: as we got in the latter stages of the third

507
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: quarter into the fourth quarter, it was clear that this

508
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: Texas defense was on skates and Georgia had basically licensed

509
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: to do whatever they wanted.

510
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 3: I'm with you.

511
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 4: You brought up this point going into the episode that

512
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 4: the Texas pass defense just hasn't been there despite having

513
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 4: a very good pass rush, that the secondary hasn't been there.

514
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 4: The secondary has been beat up, and when the Texas

515
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 4: offense is departing the field as efficiently as they are,

516
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 4: you're just putting your own defense in a terrible position. Yeah,

517
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 4: and I thought with George's ability to stay on the field,

518
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 4: not necessarily bombing it downfield all the time, but consistently executing,

519
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 4: you're just wearing down. We talked about, you know, speed

520
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 4: test Saturday and just like where are your legs come November,

521
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 4: And it just seemed like George's game plan was perfect

522
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 4: to wear Texas down. And Texas has dudes on this defense,

523
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 4: especially upfront obviously in the linebacking corps, absolutely just can't

524
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 4: stay on the field the whole time. And when Texas

525
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 4: has the drops that they do, when they don't necessarily

526
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 4: have go to receivers consistently like they've had these past

527
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 4: couple seasons, George is going to be able to take advantage.

528
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 4: And yeah, it was fourteen to ten in the second half,

529
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 4: and then just absolute brass balls from Kirby Smart following

530
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 4: a touchdown up with a perfectly executed on sidekick that

531
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 4: wasn't even like scrummed for the ball, No, it was

532
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 4: just caught in rhythm as Texas players turned their back

533
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 4: on a gently bouncing on sidekick and that was turned

534
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 4: into points, and got a quick stop that was then

535
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 4: turned into points from a short field. You know, Texas

536
00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 4: was backed up. It was just it was an efficient

537
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 4: and brutal display of peak Georgia football. I thought the

538
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 4: play calling was really good from Georgia. I thought Gunnar

539
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 4: Stockton was great in this game, like on the ground,

540
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 4: making decisions, quick decisions. They spread the ball out really nicely.

541
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,719
Speaker 4: They weren't killers on the ground. It wasn't a big

542
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 4: Johncey Bowen's game, but Nate Frasier made plays. I don't know,

543
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 4: this was like it felt like peak Georgia to me.

544
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 1: I mean they would leak a running back out of

545
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: the backfield to one side of the field and then

546
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,439
Speaker 1: to the other, and then when Texas wisened up to that,

547
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: then they would leak a tight end out, or they

548
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: would leak a receiver out, or Zachariah brand should be

549
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: sitting in a pocket, and it just like it felt

550
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: to me like whatever they wanted to do they could do. Yeah,

551
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: And I know that wasn't true for the entirety of

552
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: the game, but certainly down the stretch when it counted

553
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: the most. Georgia just blew the doors off of Texas.

554
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 1: I mean it just it didn't even seem like they

555
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 1: belonged in the same field. They just completely outclassed them

556
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: in the second half. On the Texas side, I mean,

557
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: too many drops, too many penalties, never able to gain

558
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: any kind of momentum. I think it needs to be

559
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: mentioned again and again and again. The line stinks, yeah,

560
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: but Arch also miss dudes. Arch miss dudes, but the

561
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: line stinks. Yeah, they can't run. And when the line

562
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 1: stinks and can't run, that puts more pressure on your quarterback.

563
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 1: And I thought, all things considered, Arch Manning played a

564
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: pretty good game. He made some he made some bad throws.

565
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: He definitely had some misses. But I think people need

566
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 1: to understand it's all on him. It's all on him.

567
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: I talked about it in the preview, but like I

568
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: checked the stats on the most pressured FBS quarterbacks, the

569
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: most pressured power for quarterbacks, and Arch Manning was in

570
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: the top ten coming into week twelve. I'm sure, well

571
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what it's going to be coming out

572
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: of Week twelve, but for sure, like it's a lot

573
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: on him, it's all on his arm. He was clearly

574
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: emotional about it. He wanted to play a better game.

575
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: I think he did all right. I don't think this

576
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: is his fault that they lost this game. I think

577
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: Georgia is the better team. I think this was a

578
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: demonstration of what Georgia can do against a team that

579
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: doesn't have an offensive line that's up to stuff. So

580
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily blame Arch for being emotional about it.

581
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: I thought, all things considered, again, he played a pretty

582
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: good game, but they were not the better team out there.

583
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: They certainly did not have the offense to go toe

584
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: to toe with this Georgia defense.

585
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 4: No, and this Georgia defense hasn't been incredible this year

586
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 4: at all times, but sort of outside of you know,

587
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 4: some of the Alabama game, the Tennessee game, the ole

588
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 4: Miss game has been quietly improving. But you're right, this

589
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 4: is not a defense to the recent Georgia standard. No,

590
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 4: and it's very young. Obviously, they're going to grow into it.

591
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 4: I think they have grown into it. I think they're

592
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 4: at the point now where they're just not where they

593
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 4: were a month ago.

594
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: To we can stop talking now about how young they are, right,

595
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: because they've.

596
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 3: They've started eight nine to ten games. Yeah, they played

597
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 3: like two and a half months of this.

598
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: Now it's they're sort of you know, well, they've got

599
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: some seasoning for sure.

600
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 4: The athletes are there, and I saw c J. Allen

601
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 4: got hurt. We'll see how big of a deal that is.

602
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 4: I mean, he is obviously a huge deal for this defense.

603
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 4: We'll see what that means for the rest of their season.

604
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 4: Obviously setting up for a huge game against Georgia Tech

605
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 4: to finish things out. But no, I don't know how

606
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 4: you come away anything but crazy impressed with what George

607
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 4: has been able to do lately.

608
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: I completely agree this. So here's where George is at

609
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: right now. Please George has done with their SEC schedule.

610
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: They do not have the head to head tiebreaker with

611
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: Alabama because they played and they lost. But in order

612
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: for them to play for the SEC title, they either

613
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: need Auburn to beat Alabama and the Iron Bowl or

614
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: Texas to beat Texas A and M when they play

615
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: their rivalry and they renew that rivalry in Austin last

616
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: week of the season. It's also worth noting that if

617
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: both of those teams lose, there is potential for it

618
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 1: to be Georgia against Old Miss. I'm not counting on that.

619
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: That would require a lot to happen.

620
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 4: You're talking about if Texas A and M and Alabama lose.

621
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 4: If Texas A and Georgia Oles.

622
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: Yes, and Alabama lose and Ole Miss wins the Egg Bowl,

623
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: that would be a scenario in which you get some

624
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: different teams than maybe some are expecting in that SEC

625
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: title game. But right now, I still think Alabama is

626
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: sort of in the driver's seat. Obviously, the same is

627
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: true for Texas A and M, the most likely SEC

628
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: championship game right now, by virtue of the results that

629
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: we saw in week twelve, it looks like Texas A

630
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: and M against Alabama Georgia will be next up. Beyond that,

631
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: you know, that's when you get into the weird Old

632
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: Miss scenario. Texas is fully out of all this stuff now.

633
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: They just are. They have three losses. They're not going

634
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: to play for the SEC, They're out of the playoff picture.

635
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: They could certainly play a large role if they knock

636
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: off Texas A and M the last week of the

637
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: regular season. That could have a real impact on what

638
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: A and m's path looks like. But in terms of

639
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: playing for some of these more grandiose achievements that many

640
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: had expected at the start of the year. That's not

641
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: going to happen in twenty twenty five for Texas. No.

642
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,479
Speaker 4: Also, Georgia looks like the best team in the SEC

643
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 4: right now and they're not even in line to play,

644
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 4: which might be fine by them, honestly, given schedule of

645
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 4: playoffs stuff.

646
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 3: That's the SEC. There are other results in the SEC.

647
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: Will come back to those a little bit later on,

648
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: but those are sort of like the Three Biggies. There

649
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: were plenty of other games around college football that involve

650
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:38,239
Speaker 1: ranked teams, that involve playoff that involve conference implications that

651
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: we can talk through now if you're interested, would love too.

652
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: The ACC is fascinating for a variety of different reasons.

653
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: I am most interested in Pitt, as you know, because

654
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: I picked Pitt to go to the ACC title game. Okay,

655
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: Pitt had a non conference game in Week twelve against

656
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. Pitt got smoked by Notre Dame. They got

657
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: absolutely shelled by Notre Dame in this way.

658
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, and to their credit, they let it happen quickly.

659
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 3: They did.

660
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: They did.

661
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 4: They didn't give anybody any hope for very long in

662
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 4: this Now I watched.

663
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: This game with my mom. I went up to mom

664
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: h's I figure, you know what this is. This is

665
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: a prime opportunity to do that. I don't get to

666
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: watch games with her anymore because of what we do.

667
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, built some core memories.

668
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: I want to I want to go up and watch

669
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: this game with her. So I got some cheese steaks

670
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: from the good cheese steak placed by me, took them up.

671
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: We watched the game. After the first few plays, got

672
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: that like little nauseous feeling in my stomach. Oh boy,

673
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: here we go. Yeah, I've seen this before, but it

674
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: was like one drive. Notre Dame stopped them on that one.

675
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: I think they got the ball they punted, but then

676
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: right out like it happened.

677
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 3: We didn't do anything on that.

678
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 4: I had like a fifteen yard game and Mason Heinschel

679
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 4: missed like it was a.

680
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 3: Twenty yard drive. It was, Yes, I felt very easy,

681
00:33:58,680 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 3: which is why I was nervous.

682
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 4: I'm there was a bad drop that happened like inside

683
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 4: the town.

684
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know, But a few plays

685
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: in I was getting that feeling in the stomach. But

686
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: then after that it was the game was basically over

687
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 1: after the first four drives. Pitt had eighty six yards

688
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: at half. Notre Dame was in the backfield every play.

689
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: I would love to see them convert some more of

690
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: that pressure into sacks, but considering where they were at

691
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: the start of the year, baby steps will take pressure. Okay,

692
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:32,240
Speaker 1: baby steps, you'll, you'll. This is definite improvement. It certainly

693
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:33,800
Speaker 1: was not the cleanest game for CJ.

694
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:34,240
Speaker 2: Carr.

695
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 1: I think he had two bad interceptions in this one,

696
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: but continued his nice report with Malachi Fields. They had

697
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 1: two touchdowns together through the air, solid on the ground

698
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: from Jeremiah Love.

699
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 3: There really isn't a really nice spin cycle run early

700
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 3: on early on Touchdow.

701
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: There really is not a whole lot to look at it,

702
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 1: at least on the Notre Dame side and feel pessimistic about.

703
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:01,919
Speaker 1: I mean, they dominated pit in this game. They've got

704
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 1: games against Syracuse and Stanford to close out the year,

705
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: and I understand there's going to be a whole conversation

706
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: now where they rank, where they should rank relative to

707
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 1: the field, and the playoff conversation. We should probably just

708
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: wait until Tuesday night, or at least Monday on our

709
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: show to talk through that in a little bit more detail.

710
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 1: We don't have to drone on about it now, but

711
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: Notre Dame will be there, probably in the top ten

712
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: in some way, shape or form. This is not the

713
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: type of performance that they should be knocked for because

714
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 1: it was a ranked pit team. It's still a pit

715
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: team that has a lot to play for and I

716
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,240
Speaker 1: think has some interesting matchups here with the teams remaining

717
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 1: on their schedule. So Notre Dame acquitted itself well, they

718
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 1: were dominant. This is what you want to see if

719
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: you're a Notre Dame fan, if you're somebody who is

720
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: curious about Notre Dame, perhaps where they rank amid that

721
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: like this chaotic playoff field is what I would say

722
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: at this point, Sure Notre Dame did what it needed

723
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:56,399
Speaker 1: to do.

724
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 3: The pit thing is.

725
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: Kind of kind of at for conversation, but on at

726
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 1: least on the Notre Dame side, you could not have

727
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:06,479
Speaker 1: asked for a better performance on the road.

728
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 4: Two points, aid on Schuler, that's the Don Shuler, excuse me.

729
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 3: Real good player, seems very good.

730
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: Had that pick six early, had an incredible return of

731
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 1: a two point conversion, yes like five yards zep in

732
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: the end, zone, used, his blockers, used his convoy, danced around,

733
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: did an incredible job running it back all the way

734
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: the length of the field and then some for two points.

735
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 4: Yes, so yeah, this is the Notre Dame secondary was

736
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 4: looked at as a weakness as a unit. Obviously there

737
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 4: are talented players there. Early on in the season when

738
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 4: they were struggling against you know, Miami and Texas A

739
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 4: and m it seems like there's been some scheme shifts

740
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:52,839
Speaker 4: and guys have gotten healthier, they've come to play, and

741
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 4: there has been the you know, the the absence was

742
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 4: felt earlier of Xavier Wats, who was really a really

743
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:01,320
Speaker 4: good box safety, and it's seems like they have picked

744
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 4: things up very nicely. And just a quick copy of

745
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 4: it here. You said Pitt is ranked. Let's say Pitt

746
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 4: was ranked. No, okay, Pitt was ranked.

747
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 3: I don't know if they're going to have a number

748
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 3: next to their name moving forward this season, but we'll see.

749
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,720
Speaker 3: But it was it was not particularly close, very quickly.

750
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: It's and look, there's probably not a whole lot more

751
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: to say about Notre Dame. Still could have scored more.

752
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: I mean, they definitely left some points on the board

753
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 1: in this.

754
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 3: This one, by the way, Yeah, I said notre was

755
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 3: gonna rip them apart.

756
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: They did rip them apart, and Pat and Ardoozy kind

757
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: of called it too.

758
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,320
Speaker 3: Pantn Ardoozy and I were on the same page.

759
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,399
Speaker 1: Tannerdoosey said, we can lose by one hundred, it won't

760
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 1: matter if we win the last two. And you know,

761
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess he said the quiet part out loud.

762
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: You're not supposed to say that. You're supposed to be

763
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: pissing vinegar out there and get the troops fired up.

764
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: But if they win against Georgia Tech and Miami to

765
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:54,839
Speaker 1: close out the year, they have a really good shot

766
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,359
Speaker 1: of getting to the ACC title game. It's not ironclad.

767
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: It's going to be like down to the sick tiebreaker

768
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: in the ACC to determine who is playing home. But

769
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 1: if you beat those two teams, if your pit, you

770
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,439
Speaker 1: stand a pretty good chance to make it through into

771
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 1: that ACC title game. And I actually think they match

772
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: up pretty well with the teams that are remaining on

773
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: their schedule. I could talk I could talk through why

774
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:22,800
Speaker 1: when we do our previews in the coming.

775
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 4: Weeks based only on today's action, two very different defenses.

776
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 3: Yes, on the pit schedule.

777
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 4: Moving forward, in that Georgia Tech may not have one,

778
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 4: and in that Miami's looked awfully, awfully good.

779
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: Today, Virginia beat Duke thirty four to seventeen in a

780
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: very very pivotal acc matchup. I thought Manny Diaz said

781
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: it best in the postgame quote. We were thoroughly outclassed

782
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:56,359
Speaker 1: by Virginia. I think their quarterback was outstanding and in

783
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,800
Speaker 1: terrific control. He is talking about Chandler Morris. Chandler Morris

784
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: got hurt in UVa's last game. Chaylor Morris was upgraded

785
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: to probably late in the week after we recorded our preview,

786
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 1: Chaylor Morris played and looked awesome. He looked great in

787
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 1: this game. I felt like this was about as good

788
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: as we have seen Uva look all year.

789
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 3: Agreed, like we're used to them.

790
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:26,280
Speaker 1: Eking out wins this season. They crushed Duke in this game.

791
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 1: And like we knew Duke was something of a liability

792
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 1: on defense, I think we we panned that to various extents.

793
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 1: Duke was favored in this game, so we weren't the

794
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: only ones, but the numbers here were ridiculous. It was

795
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 1: a really balanced effort from the Who's five hundred and

796
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 1: forty total yards, three sixteen through the air, two twenty

797
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: four on the ground, twelve of nineteen on third downs.

798
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:57,320
Speaker 1: They had eleven more minutes of possession. By nearly every measure,

799
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 1: dan Uva won this one going away. This is a

800
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 1: really nice showing for Tony Elliott.

801
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,320
Speaker 4: Yes, and a really nice showing all things considered, given

802
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 4: Chandler Morris's injury, given the fact that Virginia isn't led

803
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 4: by their offense. They've been led by winning those big

804
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 4: moments late and a vastly improved defenses with some new

805
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 4: faces getting key stops, and against a duke offense that

806
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:25,839
Speaker 4: has shown out win and lose, win or lose, win

807
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:29,359
Speaker 4: and lose whatever, Virginia really stepped up on that side

808
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 4: of the ball. They haven't this season had a ton

809
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 4: of playmakers on offense, but defensively has been where they've

810
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 4: made their you know where they've made hay and it

811
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:42,240
Speaker 4: was especially nice given what's at stake in the ACC.

812
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 4: I think it was Tarl Harris who stepped up on

813
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 4: the outside for Virginia on offense like that, they are

814
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 4: winning in a more complete way I think bodes well

815
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 4: for whatever their ceiling may be this year.

816
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: If you are UVA, you're in terrific shape now for

817
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,800
Speaker 1: the ACC title game. I mean, and if you had

818
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 1: talked about UVA being in the ACC Championship at the

819
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 1: beginning of the season or when we did our previews

820
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 1: at the end of July, I mean, we would call

821
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,800
Speaker 1: to each other crazy if anyone made that prediction.

822
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 4: But again, one of the easiest, if not the it

823
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 4: was them in North Carolina schedule wise, but even still, yeah,

824
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 4: I don't think there was any way to foresee the

825
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,240
Speaker 4: kind of impact that Chandler Morris.

826
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: I mean, they were active in the portal, They were

827
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: active about trying to improve some of those aspects of

828
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: the roster that they thought needed help. Chandler Morris, though,

829
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 1: has been a revelation and they now are on the

830
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: precipice of beating Virginia Tech to close out the season.

831
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 1: It is not again a slam dunk that they would

832
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,360
Speaker 1: get into that game. If Pitt loses, they think to

833
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 1: both Georgia Tech and Miami and SMU wins out, then

834
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:57,479
Speaker 1: we could be looking at a weird tiebreaker scenario where

835
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: it's like SMU or UVA. Again, I'm not going to

836
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 1: talk through all those things here, But UVA is in

837
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 1: a really good spot right now to get to that

838
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: championship game, and if they could pull off a win

839
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 1: once they get there, get back or get to the

840
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: playoffs for the first time obviously in school history. So

841
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,399
Speaker 1: the other thing that I would add is that this

842
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: win is very good news for the ACC because if

843
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 1: Duke would have won, it would have opened up that

844
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:29,800
Speaker 1: possibility that an unranked ACC champion could be left out entirely,

845
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: and it's obviously still possible, but it looks increasingly less

846
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,800
Speaker 1: likely that that scenario could come to fruition.

847
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 4: So oh yeah, well, especially look if Virginia goes eleven

848
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 4: and two and wins the conference. You're talking about a

849
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 4: Virginia team that through a game losing interception in the

850
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 4: end zone to NC State in a four point loss,

851
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 4: so not an embarrassing loss. NC State is pretty average

852
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 4: this season, but they didn't lose by twenty seven points,

853
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:00,879
Speaker 4: and they lost to Wake Forest a low scoring game

854
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 4: in which their quarterback was hurt almost immediately, So their

855
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 4: resume is going to be fine. If they finish eleven

856
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 4: into winning the ACC, they will be in the top

857
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 4: twenty five and it will be fine. They'll be in

858
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 4: the top twenty.

859
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 3: Likely number seventeen.

860
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 1: USC twenty six knocks off twenty one Iowa. Yeah, twenty

861
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:25,399
Speaker 1: six twenty one is your final score. This one did

862
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 1: not start off great for the Trojans, No.

863
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 5: But.

864
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley man come back win over a tough, physical

865
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 1: Iowa team in weather. It keeps them in the conversation,

866
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,359
Speaker 1: you know, all the right kinds of conversations. They got

867
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: a monster game next week against your Oregon Ducks and

868
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: Eugene I talked through on a couple of our episodes

869
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: last week about you know, just some like not so

870
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: far fetched possibilities for USC for the remainder of the season.

871
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:01,839
Speaker 1: I thought this is a really nice win for them,

872
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: and probably one that won't get the headlines. But I

873
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: thought the way that they fought back, the way that

874
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,320
Speaker 1: they came to play, the way that they were able

875
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:15,799
Speaker 1: to run their offense against a really good defense like

876
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:20,320
Speaker 1: Iowa was in a monsoon in like heavy rain. Yeah,

877
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: I mean, like I'm sort of like tripping over my

878
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,359
Speaker 1: words here because it's late, and I apologize, but like,

879
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:29,319
Speaker 1: I just thought their ability to play their game through

880
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 1: the air to feed Makay Lemon and Jacoby Lane. When

881
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 1: Iowa knew that they were going to feed both those guys,

882
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: I just thought that was really impressive, Like they ran

883
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 1: effectively enough to offer a little bit of variety, but

884
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: everyone knew, like it was kind of telegraphed that those

885
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:45,839
Speaker 1: are the guys, at least through the air that they

886
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: want to do trying to tack them with. And Kyle

887
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: Lemon had ten catches, Jacobe Lane had seven catches. They

888
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: both had really good games. They were able to do

889
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: this against a really tough defense that knew essentially it

890
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: was coming. And I don't know, I thought this wind

891
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 1: showed a lot of grit in a way that like

892
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 1: we have not necessarily seen from the Lincoln Riley era

893
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: USC Trojans.

894
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was some turnover.

895
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,240
Speaker 4: I say luck, I don't mean you're lucky to recover

896
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:17,359
Speaker 4: a fumble, but fumbles in general. There was a kind

897
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 4: of a wild interception that was off of an caramd

898
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 4: off of an Iowa player.

899
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:25,800
Speaker 1: So he's down on the grounds, he's down on the ground.

900
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 1: It was a low Throwkay, It wasn't even a bad throat.

901
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: It was just a low throw because it had to

902
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: me the ball bounces off the guy's hands up and

903
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 1: into the hands of a USC defender.

904
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 4: A defensive lineman. Yeah. I came away impressed as well

905
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 4: about certain aspects of USC that I just I think

906
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:48,479
Speaker 4: it happens very smart to find mackay Lemon as often

907
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 4: as you possibly can. They ran fine, there were tough yards,

908
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 4: it was bad weather, it's a good defense. You're right

909
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 4: about all of those things. It was also Jacoby Lane,

910
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 4: excuse me, the tight ends to a lesser extent. I

911
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 4: thought Jade Mayava was largely good, though a little bit off.

912
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 4: But it's the weather thing too. That's understandable. Like you

913
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 4: can say that, you know. They looked a little bit

914
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 4: a rhythmic. I thought along the trenches they weren't great.

915
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 3: I thought the.

916
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 4: Offensive line got pushed around a little bit too much

917
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 4: in the run game, especially in short yardage early. Yeah,

918
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 4: And I thought, just I don't know, there was something

919
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:30,319
Speaker 4: about Iowa sort of especially in that first half, dominating

920
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 4: things in the trenches that it's still a successful season

921
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 4: for USC no matter what happens. It seems, but I

922
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:39,359
Speaker 4: don't know. We're into like year four of Lincoln Riley

923
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 4: and this is still happening. I thought Iowa's second half

924
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 4: game plan was a little bit wonky, but you also

925
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 4: have a passing game that doesn't really exist, so you're limited.

926
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 3: Iowa had the moment late. I don't know if you

927
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 3: have an opinion of it.

928
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 4: It was Caden Weechin along, you know, trying to tiptoe

929
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 4: a catch in that would have changed the complexion of

930
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 4: this game, you know, pull in a longer catch in traffic.

931
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 4: And it was reviewed and Iowa fans are up in

932
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 4: arms that his toe tapped in and.

933
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 3: USC, you know, I didn't think his toe got in.

934
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 4: I think it sort of appeared to be in in

935
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,720
Speaker 4: one frame, but then as you watch, like his foot

936
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 4: more fully land his toe hit the sideline. But if

937
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 4: you need that, that's not great. I always penalize a

938
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 4: little bit more than they were against Oregon. I thought

939
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 4: it was a really nice win for USC, all in

940
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 4: to beat a team like Iowa in the weather circumstance

941
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,799
Speaker 4: that it was really nice win. Next week's game should

942
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 4: be enormous in Eugene.

943
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,800
Speaker 1: Next week's game is going to be enormous, and again

944
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: USC winning out, combined with Michigan beating Ohio State would

945
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: put USC in the Big title game, sure, which is

946
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 1: again I you know, I know this is kind of

947
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 1: being pedaling a little too much in the world of

948
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 1: the hypothetical, but I think it is at least worth

949
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:05,279
Speaker 1: up because Big Ten has so many damn teams, and

950
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 1: I think we're used to the teams at the top,

951
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:11,320
Speaker 1: were used to the teams with controversy, but USC, despite

952
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:13,360
Speaker 1: the fact that they're always kind of in the limelight

953
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 1: to an extent, has phone a bit under the radar

954
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 1: with respect to that Big Ten conversation. And this was

955
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 1: a really nice win over a good team at home

956
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 1: weird weather, but I thought this really showed me something

957
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 1: on the USC side. It wasn't perfect, but for sure,

958
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 1: the fact that they got this win, that Lincoln Riley

959
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 1: got this win, I mean, it seemed like they were

960
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 1: pretty emotional in the sidelines. They just meant a lot

961
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 1: to them, and I think it should. I was really impressed.

962
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 4: Down maybe their best offensive lineman in Elijah Page, left

963
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 4: tackle down Kamari Ramsey, their best maybe their best defensive

964
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 4: player overall. Hopefully they can get those guys back for

965
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,400
Speaker 4: this stretch run against Oregon and UCLA. But they're a

966
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 4: beat up team. They lost a They've they've been losing

967
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,280
Speaker 4: a bunch of dudes, so their depth will be tested.

968
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the Big twelve next, but

969
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:03,720
Speaker 1: while we're here, we should at least do the speed

970
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 1: run of the Big Ten, because there were a bunch

971
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,720
Speaker 1: of other Big Ten games that I think weren't mentioning.

972
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 1: We had a thirty eight point win for Ohio State

973
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 1: over Ucla. We had I this is quick math, I

974
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:19,280
Speaker 1: what is this twenty nine point win for your Oregon

975
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 1: Ducks over Minnesota on Friday night?

976
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:23,319
Speaker 4: Very sharp, They looked very, very good. There was a

977
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 4: complete performance. They pressured Drake Lindsay and the Minnesota offense

978
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 4: who was not able to do anything. Dante more was

979
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 4: very good. Kenyon City came back and was excellent. It

980
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 4: was a complete performance from the jump. Did I see

981
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 4: that soda?

982
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:40,399
Speaker 1: Dante Moor was like eighteen of twenty.

983
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 3: No, he was twenty seven of thirty. Is how we've finished?

984
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:46,280
Speaker 3: Twenty seven of thirty? Okay, twenty seven of thirty.

985
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 4: A bunch of guys ran, you know, their averaging eight

986
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:52,840
Speaker 4: nine yards of carry. They rotated a bunch of guys

987
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 4: on defense, and it just was not that competitive a game.

988
00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:00,120
Speaker 4: So Oregon really showed out nicely. Short week after that

989
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 4: emotional win against Iowa, which has been the sort of

990
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 4: calling card of Oregon. They don't lose the games that.

991
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:08,359
Speaker 3: They really should win.

992
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 1: Indiana did beat Wisconsin. It was a sloppy start to

993
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 1: this game. They led ten to seven at halftime, but

994
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 1: then they get it together in the second half. They

995
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:22,359
Speaker 1: outscore Wisconsin twenty one zip the rest of the way.

996
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:28,280
Speaker 1: Fernando Mendoza had more touchdowns than incompletions. He was twenty

997
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 1: two of twenty four. We had four touchdowns. You know,

998
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 1: we've seen this a couple of times from Indiana. Now

999
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:37,359
Speaker 1: where's it takes me a little bit to get going,

1000
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 1: but once they get going, they're pretty damn good. Obviously,

1001
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,319
Speaker 1: thirty one to seven was your final there.

1002
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:48,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, strong thoughts, happy thoughts, healing thoughts to Gideon Atuka,

1003
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,840
Speaker 4: the Wisconsin running back who went down in this game.

1004
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 3: They were running the ball pretty well.

1005
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 4: They were sort of, you know, toughing out a lot

1006
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:58,839
Speaker 4: of difficult yards against Indiana, and it was I think

1007
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:00,920
Speaker 4: it was Charlie Becker who who helped open things up

1008
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:03,240
Speaker 4: for Indiana, who has stepped in in place of Elijah

1009
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 4: Surratt in the receiving corps for Nando Mendoza. Yeah, you're right,

1010
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 4: took a little while to get going, but once he

1011
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:09,800
Speaker 4: did was nails.

1012
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 1: Penn State wins the Land Grant Trophy twenty to ten

1013
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 1: over Michigan State. A really nice day for Khron Allen.

1014
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:21,360
Speaker 1: Illinois knocked off Maryland twenty four to six and Michigan

1015
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 1: survived in Wrigley Field, Dan twenty four to twenty two

1016
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 1: was your final score. They needed a thirty one yard

1017
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 1: field goal as time expired from Dominic Savada, their All

1018
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 1: American kicker. Speaking of Jose Masa's, Northwestern kind of pulled

1019
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:43,239
Speaker 1: a Jose Mason and this one, didn't They.

1020
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 3: They did, They absolutely did.

1021
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:44,799
Speaker 5: So.

1022
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:47,239
Speaker 4: They had multiple opportunities to close us out in the

1023
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 4: fourth quarter in Wrigley Field, taking advantage of turnovers from

1024
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 4: Michigan and miscues from Michigan over the course of this game.

1025
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:59,799
Speaker 4: You mentioned the kicker. Not a good game for Dominic Svada, right,

1026
00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 4: He missed a couple one long, one, one shorter, one

1027
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 4: nailed the one at the end to win this one.

1028
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 4: But Northwestern was in position to close out a huge win.

1029
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 4: They I think they had the misfortune of generating converting

1030
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:19,320
Speaker 4: whatever the word is five turnovers and giving up, coughing

1031
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 4: up zero and still losing. So winning the turnover battle

1032
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 4: five love time five nil, which is I guess what

1033
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 4: the Chargers did when they choked away the playoff game

1034
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 4: against the Jaguars a couple of years ago. Oh God,

1035
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 4: extremely difficult to do, extremely difficult to win the turnover

1036
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:43,320
Speaker 4: battle five nothing and lose, And so I guess congratulations

1037
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:44,239
Speaker 4: on that, Northwestern.

1038
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:44,719
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1039
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:47,279
Speaker 4: That was a very winnable game for the Cats, and

1040
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:51,800
Speaker 4: good for Michigan for surviving. Andrew Marsh was terrific freshman

1041
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:55,479
Speaker 4: receiver for Michigan. Looks like they have a true number

1042
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:57,440
Speaker 4: one receiver moving forward for these least in these next

1043
00:52:57,480 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 4: couple of years, which is great news for Bryce Underwood

1044
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 4: in this offense.

1045
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 3: But uh, got to get a lot of this cleaned

1046
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:03,800
Speaker 3: up pretty quickly.

1047
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, you mentioned Andrew Marsh. Twelve catches for one eighty nine.

1048
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 1: Really nice day. All right, let's get over to the

1049
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 1: big twelve. We waited too long. So BYU is still

1050
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 1: up pretty significantly on TCU at time of recording. I

1051
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 1: think we can assume that BYUS unless they pull a

1052
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 1: Jose Mesa as they drive here for another score. I

1053
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 1: think we can assume that BYU is going to emerge

1054
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 1: victorious in this one and probably slide up a notch

1055
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 1: on the new batch of college football playoff rankings when

1056
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:37,760
Speaker 1: they drop. In the early part of the week, Texas

1057
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 1: Tech ran one up on UCF. That was a dominant

1058
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:45,320
Speaker 1: showing forty eight to nine. Utah very dominant in knocking

1059
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 1: off Baylor. They ran for three hundred and eighty yards

1060
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:52,359
Speaker 1: dan in a fifty five to twenty eight win. Arizona

1061
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 1: goes on the road and knocks off Cincinnati thirty to

1062
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 1: twenty four. A really nice showing for Arizona. I am

1063
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:02,279
Speaker 1: proud Arizona for the showing that they put in here.

1064
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 1: We had k State winning by eight over Oklahoma State,

1065
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:09,839
Speaker 1: and we had Arizona State hanging on to win by

1066
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 1: a twenty five to twenty three score over West Virginia.

1067
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:16,360
Speaker 4: Yes, West Virginia moved the ball quite nicely through the

1068
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:20,200
Speaker 4: air and absolutely made that a game. Coming back to

1069
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:23,319
Speaker 4: make it a game. Didn't watch any of Kansas State

1070
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 4: Oklahoma State. You'll forgive me because Mike Gundy has built

1071
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 4: two teams.

1072
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:29,560
Speaker 3: I texted this to you earlier.

1073
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:32,400
Speaker 4: He's going to finish out his career essentially have with

1074
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:33,600
Speaker 4: his legacy at Oklahoma State.

1075
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:34,799
Speaker 3: Obviously he's gone.

1076
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 4: Building two zero to nine teams in the Big twelve.

1077
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 4: Woolf really nice win for Arizona again, a really nice

1078
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:48,279
Speaker 4: defensive performance, not always on the ground, but getting a

1079
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:50,880
Speaker 4: lot of stops. I think Cincinnati was terrible on third downs.

1080
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:54,799
Speaker 4: Watched this one on and off, came away just super

1081
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 4: impressed with how complete a performance it was for Arizona,

1082
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 4: who coupled with their schedule which includes an Arizona State

1083
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 4: team down Sam Levitt that's had a disappointing defense this season.

1084
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 4: Arizona has an opportunity with Baylor next week at home

1085
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 4: Arizona State on the road obviously in the Territorial Cup

1086
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 4: to go nine and three after last season and year

1087
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 4: two of Brent Brennan, which is pretty incredible because they

1088
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 4: already appear to be the better team in that state,

1089
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 4: which I never would It's wild.

1090
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:24,320
Speaker 3: It's wild reality.

1091
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 1: And like the thing that you mentioned the defense, I

1092
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 1: mean that it was a great defensive showing their defense

1093
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 1: has been really good. They're really good against the pass.

1094
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:34,800
Speaker 1: But one of the things that I think we talked

1095
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:38,440
Speaker 1: about was that this was like kind of a perfect

1096
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:42,360
Speaker 1: letdown spot for them after they lost to Kansas last week.

1097
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:45,160
Speaker 1: But no, they beat Kansas after excuse me, after they

1098
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 1: beat Kansas. It was a chaotic win, yeah, after the

1099
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 1: Catoch win, right, but since he was the one who

1100
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:53,439
Speaker 1: looked like they were in a look ahead spot with

1101
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:58,320
Speaker 1: BYU on deck next week, they threw an interception on

1102
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:00,879
Speaker 1: the first play in the game, like they they sort

1103
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:04,120
Speaker 1: of got off on the wrong foot here, and you know,

1104
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 1: through the course of this one, it was the combination

1105
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:09,200
Speaker 1: of the Arizona defense and the Arizona off Like Noah

1106
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:13,080
Speaker 1: Fafida had a really solid game, It ran really well.

1107
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 1: This was a big time win for these guys, and

1108
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 1: if you think of it more broadly, they're like an

1109
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:26,279
Speaker 1: overtime loss, their last second field goal away from both

1110
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:30,239
Speaker 1: BYU and Houston maybe being like eight and one. So

1111
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:32,240
Speaker 1: this has been a really good campaign for Brent Brennan.

1112
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 1: He deserves a lot of credit for the way that

1113
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:38,320
Speaker 1: he has guided this team, especially after the way it

1114
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 1: went last season.

1115
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:42,439
Speaker 4: By the way we'll say this, the Baylor game wasn't

1116
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 4: like a flash fry. This was a one score game

1117
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 4: in the third quarter and then Utah just sort of

1118
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:49,799
Speaker 4: went up another gear. They flipped on the nas and

1119
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 4: it was all on the ground. Baylor couldn't stop anything,

1120
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 4: but say robertson this offense, they had drives, they made plays,

1121
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:00,720
Speaker 4: they were somewhat balanced, and then Utah just yeah, another

1122
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:03,200
Speaker 4: gear and so Utah's gonna need help.

1123
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:03,479
Speaker 3: Though.

1124
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:06,320
Speaker 4: Utah's gonna need help for some sort of like big

1125
00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:08,719
Speaker 4: postseason aspiration given.

1126
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:09,879
Speaker 3: Where they are on the Big Twelve right now.

1127
00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:13,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, there are a whole slew of possibilities

1128
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 1: in the Big Twelve. And I did my best here

1129
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 1: kind of on short notice.

1130
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:20,920
Speaker 3: To try short because it's impossible.

1131
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:23,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did my best to try and piece together

1132
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 1: what some of the possibilities might look like in the

1133
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 1: Big Twelve. We would need like hours on hours to

1134
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 1: try and go through all of these things because there

1135
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 1: are just too many possibilities. I do think we've kind

1136
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:37,280
Speaker 1: of narrowed the field down to like four maybe five

1137
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:42,920
Speaker 1: teams that in theory could have a potential case to

1138
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:47,560
Speaker 1: get into that Big twelve championship game. But it's still very,

1139
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 1: very muddled, and it will be fascinating to follow for

1140
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 1: sure over these next few weeks.

1141
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 4: Do you want to round out the sec A couple

1142
00:57:56,560 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 4: other big matchups, just sort of in terms of intrigue.

1143
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 4: Ole Miss had just an eventual impressive win over Florida.

1144
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 4: But this was back and forth in the first half

1145
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:09,040
Speaker 4: and into the fourth quarter.

1146
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 3: Was a game.

1147
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 4: And I don't know whatever the opposite of Jose Mesa

1148
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 4: is in your closers world.

1149
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:17,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know who that. If it's a mo

1150
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 3: rivera Marianna River.

1151
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:21,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, you'd have to exclude the postseason in a couple

1152
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:26,200
Speaker 4: of seasons for the Yankees, of course, But take your pick.

1153
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 4: Close this game quite impressively. Trinidad Chambliss made a ton

1154
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:33,760
Speaker 4: of plays, both of his legs. Kewan Lacy goes for

1155
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:37,400
Speaker 4: over two hundred yards in this game. They eventually figured,

1156
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 4: let's just go straight at.

1157
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 3: Florida on the ground.

1158
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 4: This is an exhausted team, and Florida sort of threw

1159
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 4: everything they could in the first half literally and figuratively,

1160
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 4: and it looked like it was gonna go back and

1161
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 4: forth for four quarters.

1162
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 3: It very much did not.

1163
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:52,480
Speaker 4: The ole Miss defense tightened up super impressively in the

1164
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:56,000
Speaker 4: second half, made a ton of plays a semi malign

1165
00:58:56,120 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 4: defense this season given ole missus hopes, and came away

1166
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:03,480
Speaker 4: with a really nice win against Florida in a what

1167
00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 4: seemed like it could be like a weird Losable Lane

1168
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 4: Kiffin loses a fifty three to forty eight shootout type game.

1169
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, they definitely did not. Did I see that.

1170
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:19,000
Speaker 1: A Mott Hardy ran for three hundred yards?

1171
00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:23,640
Speaker 4: He did run for three hundred yards. We correctly pointed

1172
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:26,400
Speaker 4: out that the missoo running back room might need extra

1173
00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:28,440
Speaker 4: oxygen for all of the exercise they're going to get

1174
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 4: against the Mississippi State front.

1175
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:31,800
Speaker 3: We were correct.

1176
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:33,880
Speaker 1: Three hundred yards. That's wild.

1177
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:38,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, Matt Zohler's had, you know, took a nice step forward.

1178
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 4: I would say, you know, we'll see what he's able

1179
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:44,080
Speaker 4: to do. He has what Oklahoma next week? Boprabula was

1180
00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:46,480
Speaker 4: out on the field. He was warming up, he was

1181
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:51,480
Speaker 4: going through some some motion stuff like we'll see but

1182
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 4: if and when or whatever happens with his future this

1183
00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 4: season and getting back on the field. But yeah, weh

1184
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:00,520
Speaker 4: I throw it when you have a mon Hardy what

1185
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:01,080
Speaker 4: he was doing?

1186
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:04,320
Speaker 1: All right? So LSU won Tennessee one, Kentucky one.

1187
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:09,600
Speaker 4: Not pretty for LSU. Arkansas made some mistakes. Arkansas was

1188
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:14,080
Speaker 4: right there had opportunities. LS You want a game that

1189
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 4: counts that something counts for something. Yeah, Yeah, okay.

1190
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:19,920
Speaker 3: Elsewhere.

1191
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:21,800
Speaker 1: The only other conference that I think we need to

1192
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 1: round out here is some of the other stuff that

1193
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:27,120
Speaker 1: went down in the ACC. Yeah, and we had Georgia

1194
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:30,120
Speaker 1: Tech needing a twenty three yard field goal with eleven

1195
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:34,000
Speaker 1: seconds left man to beat Boston College on the road.

1196
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:37,000
Speaker 1: We had a really good game, a fun game I

1197
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:39,720
Speaker 1: thought to watch on Friday night between Clemson and Louisville.

1198
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:45,720
Speaker 1: This game was I believe the first college football game

1199
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:51,400
Speaker 1: that came on after news broke that YouTube and Disney

1200
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 1: came to their new pact and the programming became available immediately.

1201
01:00:56,520 --> 01:01:02,000
Speaker 1: We're back, baby, So that was nice. But this ended

1202
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 1: up being I just thought, a really interesting game to watch.

1203
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:09,640
Speaker 1: Twenty to nineteen. Clemson emerge victorious. Yeah, and Wake Forest

1204
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:13,720
Speaker 1: beat North Carolina, which isn't noteworthy on its own, but

1205
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 1: I should point out that Wake now only speaking of

1206
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:19,280
Speaker 1: teams that could go nine and three. As we talked

1207
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:21,760
Speaker 1: about what areas all right, Wake just needs to be

1208
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:25,800
Speaker 1: Delaware and Duke, which seems very doable. And Jake Dickard

1209
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:28,080
Speaker 1: would go nine and three in his first season, which'd

1210
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:28,919
Speaker 1: be crazy.

1211
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:33,840
Speaker 4: Which is absolutely bonkers, and with that defense, they seems

1212
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:36,720
Speaker 4: not unreasonable that they could put a lot of pressure

1213
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:40,000
Speaker 4: on Go Lopez in the North Carolina offense, which again struggled.

1214
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 4: And it is worth mentioning because this is also a

1215
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:44,520
Speaker 4: rivalry game. It's an important enough game that they scheduled

1216
01:01:44,560 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 4: each other even when they weren't on each other's acc schedules,

1217
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:50,200
Speaker 4: so that it's always meaningful for these teams to play

1218
01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:53,120
Speaker 4: and beat one another. So I'm glad you did mention it.

1219
01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:58,720
Speaker 4: Florida State beaten up on Virginia teche Good for Tommy

1220
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:00,360
Speaker 4: c good for or State.

1221
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:01,040
Speaker 3: A beat up team.

1222
01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 4: Deuce Robinson went off against Virginia Tech, who was in

1223
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:05,760
Speaker 4: the news, you know, starting in the early part of

1224
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 4: the Saturday college football news cycle because apparently there are

1225
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:11,760
Speaker 4: ongoing serious talks with James Franklin.

1226
01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, whatever that means.

1227
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:17,280
Speaker 1: Whatever that means to you in this moment, as James

1228
01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 1: Franklin may or may not be waiting to hear about

1229
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 1: all of the jobs that may or may not become

1230
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:23,560
Speaker 1: available and figure out what he wants to do with

1231
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:26,840
Speaker 1: his life, that Virginia Tech and James Franklin apparently have

1232
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:30,040
Speaker 1: mutual interest in one another, Well, see, I know nothing

1233
01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 1: on this front, okay, but I think you'd be a

1234
01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:38,480
Speaker 1: really good hire for Virginia Tech. He ended up being

1235
01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:38,960
Speaker 1: the guy.

1236
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:43,160
Speaker 4: Mentioned it earlier that Miami's defensive performance in Georgia Tech's

1237
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:47,560
Speaker 4: defensive performance were very different. This was like Miami firing

1238
01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:49,680
Speaker 4: on all cylinders. This is also a Miami team that's

1239
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:51,919
Speaker 4: beat up, like they had. Younger guys on both sides

1240
01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 4: of the ball played pretty major roles in this one.

1241
01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:57,040
Speaker 4: I think Giord Pringle started at running back for the Canes.

1242
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:01,120
Speaker 4: This was another game from the jump. Miami just fried

1243
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:04,560
Speaker 4: an NC State offense, which has been a good offense.

1244
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:07,280
Speaker 4: It has generated a ton of big plays, couldn't do

1245
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:11,280
Speaker 4: anything against Miami Miami, and it was immediate. Miami's had

1246
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:15,240
Speaker 4: had started games out kind of slowly at times, and

1247
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:18,160
Speaker 4: they just they jumped on NC State. So certainly the

1248
01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 4: kind of game you want on your resume when you

1249
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:24,040
Speaker 4: are trying to impress as many voters. Although now we're

1250
01:03:24,040 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 4: down a voter and mac Rhodes right at Baylor or

1251
01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:33,560
Speaker 4: committee member as Miami can no quite impressive. And then

1252
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:36,520
Speaker 4: what the final game to talk about in the ACC.

1253
01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:38,959
Speaker 4: I guess if there's any other thoughts stray thoughts about

1254
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:40,280
Speaker 4: Georgia Tech Boston College.

1255
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:46,320
Speaker 1: I mean, when they gave up over five hundred yards again,

1256
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:48,160
Speaker 1: I think it's the thing on the on the Georgia

1257
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:52,880
Speaker 1: Tech side. I mean, the defense has been a problem

1258
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 1: now for just more specifically these last two weeks, given

1259
01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:02,040
Speaker 1: up for five hundred yards. And it'll be interesting to

1260
01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 1: see what this game looks like next week against Pitt.

1261
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:11,880
Speaker 1: The game is at home, but you know, pick and

1262
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 1: move the ball, pick and throw, and I don't think

1263
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:17,120
Speaker 1: that's great for Georgia TECHCA. It doesn't seem like they're

1264
01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:19,920
Speaker 1: able to stop much of anything right now. And I

1265
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:23,320
Speaker 1: would say, secondly, Pitt, even though they gave up a

1266
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:25,560
Speaker 1: long run and they gave up some of yours, Jeremiah Love,

1267
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:28,280
Speaker 1: this is a defense that bil Art is pretty good

1268
01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:32,400
Speaker 1: at stopping the run. And I think the combination of

1269
01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:35,120
Speaker 1: those two factors make them a really interesting pairing for

1270
01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:37,800
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech. You know, we've seen Georgia Tech in a

1271
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:40,120
Speaker 1: few of these games now where they're maybe closer than

1272
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:43,520
Speaker 1: you would expect. I think Georgia Tech is gettable. I

1273
01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:45,480
Speaker 1: think you probably already know where I'm gonna go with

1274
01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:47,120
Speaker 1: my pick this week. But I need to look a

1275
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 1: little bit more at it before I make it official.

1276
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 1: But I just I think it's a bad matchup for

1277
01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:53,200
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech this week, given the way that they're playing

1278
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:54,000
Speaker 1: defense right now.

1279
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:58,840
Speaker 4: In four of their last six ACC games, Boston College

1280
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:03,600
Speaker 4: scored seven to ten thirteen points. Okay, this is not

1281
01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:07,120
Speaker 4: a prolific offense. They score thirty four against Georgia Tech.

1282
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:11,360
Speaker 4: Georgia Tech, their defense actually look like, you know, through

1283
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:15,520
Speaker 4: six seven eight games, like a top fifty ish sixty

1284
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:17,680
Speaker 4: ish type defense. And maybe they's just a product of

1285
01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:20,400
Speaker 4: their schedule. Probably almost certainly is one of the better

1286
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:23,960
Speaker 4: improvement stories. Bottom has completely fallen out. And good for

1287
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:26,720
Speaker 4: Tech for winning. It was a really nice The final

1288
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:30,040
Speaker 4: game winning drive for them was, as expected, obviously a

1289
01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:32,040
Speaker 4: huge dose of Haines king on the ground and through

1290
01:05:32,080 --> 01:05:32,400
Speaker 4: the air.

1291
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:35,200
Speaker 3: I don't know how you get.

1292
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:39,520
Speaker 4: This fixed, you know, two weeks before Georgia. But they're

1293
01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:41,160
Speaker 4: they're gonna have to win these games forty five to

1294
01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:42,000
Speaker 4: forty unless they do.

1295
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:43,640
Speaker 3: So here's what we're gonna do.

1296
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:47,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna play your week twelve reverbs right now. We're

1297
01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:50,920
Speaker 1: gonna talk through some of our group of five scenarios.

1298
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:54,280
Speaker 1: That we've outlined here, and then we're gonna close this

1299
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:55,840
Speaker 1: thing out with doing some doodle words.

1300
01:05:55,840 --> 01:05:56,800
Speaker 3: All right, love that.

1301
01:05:57,080 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 1: Here are your week twelve reverbs, a little bit shorter,

1302
01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:03,280
Speaker 1: but definitely more impactful in week twelve than we're used

1303
01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:06,160
Speaker 1: to shake. Cut these together. Let's have a listen. If

1304
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:09,680
Speaker 1: you didn't watch ECU Memphis, then you're doing college football.

1305

1315
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:42,040

1316
01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:46,280
Speaker 6: has their sight set on soolids your bull Saturday. But

1317
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:50,280
Speaker 6: are we overlooking the very real possibility of friendship Friday?

1318
01:06:50,640 --> 01:06:55,920
Speaker 7: The ugliest pieces furniture, I mean, trophy stays in state College.

1319

1321
01:07:05,560 --> 01:07:08,040

1322
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:10,600
Speaker 7: the black hoodie of death, but did we just see

1323
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:13,200
Speaker 7: Brent Naples introduced at the Black Polo of death?

01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:14,440
Speaker 6: Bloomer sooner?

1325
01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:17,560
Speaker 5: I think after three big games this year involving duke football,

1326
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:20,160
Speaker 5: I think we need our money back or a recent

1327
01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:20,760
Speaker 5: of some kind.

1328
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:23,200
Speaker 6: I know, I'm surprised as you are the Virginia played

1329
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:25,800
Speaker 6: a football game that was not decided by one score.

1330
01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:27,800
Speaker 6: By the way, thanks for picking duke guys.

1331
01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:30,720
Speaker 3: Does the Big ten have a packed twelve problem?

1332

Speaker 6: Who to sunket?

1339
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:51,240
Speaker 5: Watching Texas versus Georgia is a lot like watching a

1340
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:55,000
Speaker 5: PGA tour broadcast where the announcer is trying to argue

1341
01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:58,320
Speaker 5: over which player has a better short cutting game. As

1342
01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:02,360
Speaker 5: a Texas fan, the on sidekick is going to live

1343
01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:05,920
Speaker 5: Rent straight in my head for an entire week.

1344
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:08,800
Speaker 2: I am a cow fan who also became an Acron

1345
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:11,800

1346
01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:14,960
Speaker 2: had the misfortune of watching Ben Finley play quarterback.

1347
01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:15,880
Speaker 5: For two of my teams.

1348
01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:19,200
Speaker 2: At least this time he's not getting reps over Fernando Mendoza.

1349
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:21,679
Speaker 5: Please fire Joe Morehead.

1350
01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:30,800
Speaker 2: Hey guys, I'm calling to report that they're riding in

1351
01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:34,120
Speaker 2: the streets of Cambridge, Massachusetts as the Harvard Crimpson.

1352
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:36,840
Speaker 1: March down the field in the final twenty two seconds

1353
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:38,160
Speaker 1: to beat ten on.

1354
01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:42,440
Speaker 3: A fifty three yard field goal and Clinton Ivy League championship.

1355
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:47,559
Speaker 1: From way down town bag Dan fifty three yards for

1356
01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:49,000
Speaker 1: the win for hot That's.

1357
01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:53,200
Speaker 4: Pretty good, pretty good. So that sets up Harvard Yale, Right, Harvard,

1358
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:55,519
Speaker 4: the biggest of them all in the IVY.

1359
01:08:55,720 --> 01:08:58,760
Speaker 1: It's it's huge. Yeah, all right, cool.

1360
01:08:58,800 --> 01:09:03,639
Speaker 3: I saw it didn't last Also win thirty twenty eight.

1361
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:05,840
Speaker 3: They are easy.

1362
01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:08,160
Speaker 1: They are setting up there, maybe a little bit of

1363
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:10,880
Speaker 1: a look ahead spot for the laps sure being so,

1364
01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:13,960
Speaker 1: they host Leehigh and the big rivalry next week. Lehigh

1365
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:18,720
Speaker 1: won by twenty I believe, twenty seven to twenty. We'll

1366
01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:20,360
Speaker 1: see big game coming up this week.

1367
01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:20,680
Speaker 5: All right?

1368
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:22,760
Speaker 3: Was that close? I thought Lehigh won more comfortably like

1369
01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:24,040
Speaker 3: twenty seven to seven or something.

1370
01:09:24,080 --> 01:09:26,639
Speaker 1: What did I say, twenty seven to twenty, No, twenty

1371
01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:29,439
Speaker 1: seven to seven. They won by twenty as well. There

1372
01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:32,000
Speaker 1: it is, all right, So let's close it out with this.

1373
01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:34,040
Speaker 1: We'll do dood alerts. We'll let the fine people go

1374
01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:38,280
Speaker 1: the G six playoff spot. I think the race for

1375
01:09:38,360 --> 01:09:39,800
Speaker 1: this is going to be fascinating.

1376
01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:41,240
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm with you.

1377
01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:45,320
Speaker 1: Here is what went down just among the contending teams

1378
01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:48,479
Speaker 1: were what I think are the contending teams in the

1379
01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:50,599
Speaker 1: G six. Al right, over in the American we had

1380
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:54,080
Speaker 1: Navy knockoff USF forty one to thirty eight.

1381
01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:57,599
Speaker 4: Huge, by the way, they huge win. Blake Horvap goes

1382
01:09:57,600 --> 01:09:59,360
Speaker 4: down in the second half. They don't miss a beat

1383
01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:03,160
Speaker 4: on offense. They take it to USF did a great

1384
01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:05,000
Speaker 4: job East Carolina.

1385
01:10:05,080 --> 01:10:09,719
Speaker 1: The Pirates take down Memphis. Now they were favored by three. Yeah,

1386
01:10:09,760 --> 01:10:11,439
Speaker 1: three and a half depends where you look. They end

1387
01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:13,599
Speaker 1: up winning thirty one to twenty seven. So they win.

1388
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:16,240
Speaker 1: They cover. They're an interesting case.

1389
01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:18,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Memphis had the ball at the end with

1390
01:10:18,880 --> 01:10:21,000
Speaker 4: not that much time to drive the field and go

1391
01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:23,759
Speaker 4: for the win. ACU got that stop.

1392
01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:27,960
Speaker 1: Tulane beat FAU, no big surprise, there thirty five twenty

1393
01:10:27,960 --> 01:10:31,799
Speaker 1: four yep, and North Texas ran one up on UAB

1394
01:10:31,960 --> 01:10:36,080
Speaker 1: by a fifty three to twenty four margin. Of course,

1395
01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:39,280
Speaker 1: they're not the nice screen tie. No, of course, not

1396
01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:41,519
Speaker 1: the other game of note here on the G six

1397
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:46,559
Speaker 1: level James Madison fifty eight to ten over app State,

1398
01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:52,479
Speaker 1: clearly aware that style points may matter for them given

1399
01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:57,360
Speaker 1: their current circumstances. All right, Yes, we are almost guaranteed

1400
01:10:58,200 --> 01:11:05,799
Speaker 1: a three or four tie between some combination of ECU, Navy,

1401
01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:09,680
Speaker 1: North Texas, and Tulane in the American at this point.

1402
01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:11,599
Speaker 3: Okay, I have not had.

1403
01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:14,439
Speaker 1: Time to work through all of the scenarios yet, but

1404
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:19,040
Speaker 1: I do believe that math favors ECU if they win

1405
01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:23,160
Speaker 1: out over both UTSA and FAU, which seems doable. I

1406
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:24,599
Speaker 1: don't know if there's a little bit of a letdown

1407
01:11:24,600 --> 01:11:27,760
Speaker 1: effect after this big win over Memphis, But should the

1408
01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:31,240
Speaker 1: Pirates go on and win their remaining games, they're in

1409
01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 1: a really, really good spot to get to that American championship.

1410
01:11:34,439 --> 01:11:34,719
Speaker 3: Yep.

1411
01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:38,879
Speaker 1: The issue for the American is that they're all beating

1412
01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:43,200
Speaker 1: each other, all right. They're pulling a real old like

1413
01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:47,720
Speaker 1: Big twelve right now, where they're potentially cannibalizing their own

1414
01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:52,200
Speaker 1: chances of getting to the playoff. South Florida was ranked

1415
01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:56,880
Speaker 1: twenty fourth last week. Obviously that's gonna change now. James

1416
01:11:56,960 --> 01:12:00,000
Speaker 1: Madison was ranked by both the AP and the coaches pulls,

1417
01:11:59,840 --> 01:12:03,439
Speaker 1: but not by the committee. I suspect that will also change.

1418
01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:06,800
Speaker 1: So where do things stand right now? I think when

1419
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:09,439
Speaker 1: we get our latest batch of rankings on Tuesday night,

1420
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:12,479
Speaker 1: James Madison is going to be ranked. There are going

1421
01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:15,519
Speaker 1: to be a collection of American teams that are in

1422
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:19,360
Speaker 1: the others receiving votes category, And depending on how this

1423
01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:22,599
Speaker 1: thing shakes out the last couple weeks of the season,

1424
01:12:23,240 --> 01:12:25,160
Speaker 1: it is going to be a true dogfight to see

1425
01:12:25,200 --> 01:12:29,880
Speaker 1: which one of those conferences and or the conference representative

1426
01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:32,160
Speaker 1: ends up getting ranked a little bit higher, and that

1427
01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:34,880
Speaker 1: will be the team that eventually gets that final bid

1428
01:12:34,920 --> 01:12:36,880
Speaker 1: and probably ends up being the twelve seed play and

1429
01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:39,720
Speaker 1: whoever the five is right. So there's a lot, I

1430
01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:41,800
Speaker 1: think to play for and a lot to watch for.

1431
01:12:42,360 --> 01:12:43,879
Speaker 1: I think you said it on one of the episodes

1432
01:12:43,920 --> 01:12:46,559
Speaker 1: you did a week ago, but like this is low

1433
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:49,719
Speaker 1: key maybe the most interesting part of the playoff. Obviously,

1434
01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:51,679
Speaker 1: we're going to have some teams in the top ten

1435
01:12:51,760 --> 01:12:53,880
Speaker 1: that end up losing down the stretch, and that will

1436
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:57,120
Speaker 1: make the conversation more interesting, but sort of on like

1437
01:12:57,160 --> 01:12:59,760
Speaker 1: the fringes of that conversation. Really, the race to be

1438
01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:03,639
Speaker 1: twelve is going to be fascinating, especially as these teams

1439
01:13:03,640 --> 01:13:07,280
Speaker 1: all play against each other conference championship games. We know

1440
01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:10,679
Speaker 1: we're going to see some upsets. I am very plugged

1441
01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:13,120
Speaker 1: into what's going on here. Again, I have not had

1442
01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:14,880
Speaker 1: a chance to go through all the scenarios, but I'm

1443
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:17,760
Speaker 1: going to do my part to have as many of

1444
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:19,880
Speaker 1: those at the ready for when we do our next

1445
01:13:19,880 --> 01:13:20,679
Speaker 1: one on Tuesday.

1446
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:21,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1447
01:13:21,240 --> 01:13:23,120
Speaker 4: I think everybody just needs to fall in line and

1448
01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:26,000
Speaker 4: everybody needs to lose to North Texas. Yeah, that's the

1449
01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:29,000
Speaker 4: easiest path here because they have I think they have

1450
01:13:29,040 --> 01:13:33,120
Speaker 4: two easy ish games remaining. They do, so their path

1451
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:36,559
Speaker 4: to the championship game is I think relatively clear.

1452
01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:40,680
Speaker 1: Yes, well it is and it isn't because once we

1453
01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:43,880
Speaker 1: start talking about four way ties, we start looking at

1454
01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:48,439
Speaker 1: things like getting to like the fifth tiebreaker in some cases,

1455
01:13:48,439 --> 01:13:51,320
Speaker 1: which involves computer rankings that I do not have access to.

1456
01:13:51,400 --> 01:13:53,800
Speaker 4: But North Texas the only tie breaker they don't have

1457
01:13:53,960 --> 01:13:58,280
Speaker 4: is in this moment over South Florida who has two losses. Right,

1458
01:13:58,400 --> 01:14:01,240
Speaker 4: that's correc Their path to the championship game is clean.

1459
01:14:01,680 --> 01:14:03,479
Speaker 3: Their path LEA is relatively clean.

1460
01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:05,120
Speaker 1: I mean, they beat you a B this week, They've

1461
01:14:05,120 --> 01:14:08,280
Speaker 1: got Rice on the road, and then they're home against Temple.

1462
01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:11,839
Speaker 1: So I think if you look at all of the projection,

1463
01:14:12,280 --> 01:14:14,720
Speaker 1: like all the projected winners right now, let's put it

1464
01:14:14,720 --> 01:14:19,479
Speaker 1: that way, North Texas would be in there against ECU, right.

1465
01:14:19,600 --> 01:14:23,960
Speaker 4: Because ECU has UTSA, which will be tough. FAU not

1466
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:26,200
Speaker 4: as tough, but those are both on the road. Should

1467
01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:30,320
Speaker 4: also mention JMU because they're in this conversation has like

1468
01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:33,799
Speaker 4: a weirdly not difficult non conference. They lose to Louisville,

1469
01:14:33,840 --> 01:14:36,960
Speaker 4: but they have Wazoo left as a resume piece. I

1470
01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:40,000
Speaker 4: guess the only real resume piece for JMU at this

1471
01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:42,840
Speaker 4: point is that they beat Old Dominion earlier on in

1472
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:47,439
Speaker 4: the season. But yeah, this will be a fascinating end

1473
01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:50,599
Speaker 4: and of course as well to Navy has Memphis left

1474
01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:54,040
Speaker 4: in terms of a resume building National wine.

1475
01:14:54,479 --> 01:14:56,679
Speaker 1: So intent it's going to come down to the wire.

1476
01:14:57,280 --> 01:14:58,960
Speaker 1: It's going to be a bunch of teams vying for

1477
01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:04,040
Speaker 1: one spot. And you know, there again before Duke loss,

1478
01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:07,360
Speaker 1: there was at least a possibility that two of these

1479
01:15:07,400 --> 01:15:10,160
Speaker 1: conference champs could get in if the ACC champ was

1480
01:15:10,200 --> 01:15:12,600
Speaker 1: not going to be ranked. But I there's still a

1481
01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:17,120
Speaker 1: possibility for that. I think those odds have diminished greatly. Yeah,

1482
01:15:17,160 --> 01:15:19,840
Speaker 1: given the fact that Duke lost and uh, we're gonna

1483
01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:22,000
Speaker 1: have a bunch of teams vying for that one spot. Yep,

1484
01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:25,599
Speaker 1: be pretty cozy, it'd be great, pretty crazy. Let's do

1485
01:15:25,600 --> 01:15:27,240
Speaker 1: doodle words you ready plays?

1486
01:15:30,680 --> 01:15:32,200
Speaker 3: Who are our dudes for a week twelve?

1487
01:15:32,280 --> 01:15:32,479
Speaker 6: Dan?

1488
01:15:32,840 --> 01:15:36,439
Speaker 4: I have Andrew marsh Trell Harris, Jacoby Thomas for Miami.

1489
01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:40,320
Speaker 4: I have the Bowen Brothers and Tate Sandel for Oklahoma,

1490
01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:46,240
Speaker 4: kenyons Kenyon Kenyon Sandy Kenyon Sadiq for Oregon, Gunner Stockton

1491
01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:50,439
Speaker 4: uh for Georgia. A lot of quarterbacks in a losing

1492
01:15:50,439 --> 01:15:53,400
Speaker 4: effort this week had big games. I mean, like the

1493
01:15:53,439 --> 01:15:56,519
Speaker 4: picks from guys like Marcel Reid and Sawyer Roberts didn't

1494
01:15:56,520 --> 01:15:58,200
Speaker 4: work great, but they threw for a ton of yardage.

1495
01:15:58,200 --> 01:16:00,799
Speaker 4: How do you not include a mad hardy in this list?

1496
01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:03,680
Speaker 4: Haines King had a crazy, you know, kind of had

1497
01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:07,799
Speaker 4: to do it all himself efforts given what they needed

1498
01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:09,120
Speaker 4: to beat Boston College.

1499
01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:10,960
Speaker 3: How about k Tron Allen.

1500
01:16:11,240 --> 01:16:13,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna say he's a dude just because of

1501
01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:16,320
Speaker 4: this season being as disappointing as it's been for Penn State,

1502
01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:19,759
Speaker 4: and he keeps just piling up the yardage and trying

1503
01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:24,600
Speaker 4: his best to end dudes lineages. So good for k

1504
01:16:24,720 --> 01:16:27,639
Speaker 4: Tron Allen has been a dude, continues to be a dude.

1505
01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:31,839
Speaker 4: How about oh God, I had his name here, Casey Concepts.

1506
01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:34,479
Speaker 4: I had another nice game for TeX's A and m

1507
01:16:34,600 --> 01:16:38,479
Speaker 4: makhay Lemon. I mentioned Reed Harris for Boston College in

1508
01:16:38,479 --> 01:16:41,000
Speaker 4: a losing effort goes for one hundred and forty two yards.

1509
01:16:42,040 --> 01:16:42,439
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1510
01:16:42,520 --> 01:16:45,240
Speaker 4: A bunch of really good dudes mentioned Kewan Lacy for

1511
01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:49,120
Speaker 4: ole Miss Pace that win for Lane Kiffin and Ole

1512
01:16:49,200 --> 01:16:52,519
Speaker 4: Miss against Florida. A lot of really nice performances this week.

1513
01:16:52,680 --> 01:16:55,920
Speaker 1: And I want to nominate Jacob Rodriguez, who oh Man

1514
01:16:56,280 --> 01:16:59,439
Speaker 1: got his first offensive touchdown for the second consecutive week,

1515
01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:03,120
Speaker 1: struck the Eisman pose to the rock. Yeah, they put

1516
01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:07,759
Speaker 1: him in as like the wildcat quarterback high school quarterback,

1517
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:09,879
Speaker 1: as it seems all these guys are high school quarterbacks.

1518
01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:12,080
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter how big or small they are, they're that

1519
01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:14,439
Speaker 1: good at being out there that they're all their high

1520
01:17:14,439 --> 01:17:19,400
Speaker 1: school quarterback. And yeah, they said that they repped some

1521
01:17:19,479 --> 01:17:23,559
Speaker 1: of these like wildcat formations in practice this week. As

1522
01:17:23,560 --> 01:17:26,040
Speaker 1: it got a little bit closer, they started like fine

1523
01:17:26,040 --> 01:17:29,040
Speaker 1: tune what the play looked like. And I saw some

1524
01:17:29,160 --> 01:17:31,679
Speaker 1: commentary from him after the game that yeah, he's standing

1525
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:33,760
Speaker 1: on the sidelines and the coaches are saying, hey, man,

1526
01:17:33,800 --> 01:17:37,920
Speaker 1: be ready, be ready, be ready, gets the rock, has

1527
01:17:37,920 --> 01:17:39,840
Speaker 1: an opportunity to score down on the goal line and

1528
01:17:39,880 --> 01:17:41,400
Speaker 1: gets it. So good for him.

1529
01:17:41,800 --> 01:17:46,360
Speaker 4: Kind of love that this year's defensive players getting in

1530
01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:51,919
Speaker 4: on offense to get red zone looks are Texas techs

1531
01:17:52,360 --> 01:17:55,720
Speaker 4: and America's best linebacker one of the best three line

1532
01:17:55,800 --> 01:17:59,800
Speaker 4: you know, he's obviously buckets level. And Caden Proctor left

1533
01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:03,680
Speaker 4: cat for Alabama, the two notable alt ball.

1534
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:06,519
Speaker 3: Carriers in the red zone this year. Of note, that's all.

1535
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:08,760
Speaker 3: I'm sure I'm missing some Why don't we leave it

1536
01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:09,840
Speaker 3: there for baller hood.

1537
01:18:10,720 --> 01:18:13,840
Speaker 1: I believe that covers pretty much everything that went down

1538
01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:17,040
Speaker 1: in Week twelve. Of course, you know the drill. We

1539
01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:21,559
Speaker 1: will be back on Tuesday. We will talk through whatever

1540
01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:24,479
Speaker 1: news breaks between now and then. I suppose we could

1541
01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:28,120
Speaker 1: have some We will, of course talk through overballer Top twelve,

1542
01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:31,840
Speaker 1: reveal what that looks like in advance of the committee's rankings,

1543
01:18:32,280 --> 01:18:37,880
Speaker 1: any lingering thoughts that we have after week twelve, and

1544
01:18:38,160 --> 01:18:40,439
Speaker 1: any big previews that when we want to do as

1545
01:18:40,439 --> 01:18:42,439
Speaker 1: sort of an early look ahead for week thirteen. But

1546
01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:45,360
Speaker 1: coming down the stretch here, man, we've only got a

1547
01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:48,960
Speaker 1: couple weeks left here in the college football regular season.

1548
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:52,120
Speaker 1: Two in the regular season, the conference championship week after that,

1549
01:18:52,880 --> 01:18:55,040
Speaker 1: and before you know it, we'll be talking about playoff

1550
01:18:55,040 --> 01:18:56,360
Speaker 1: matchups and bowl matchups.

1551
01:18:56,640 --> 01:18:59,080
Speaker 3: This is true. She also mentioned Ohio State b UCLA.

1552
