1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: Sticking needles in players arms used to be reserved for

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: steroids or something else, but now teams are doing it

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: not during the game when players cramped up, but before

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: game is part of their hydration routine. U c l

5
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: A has a ticket problem. Michigan had the same problem

6
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. There's a nine a m.

7
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: Kickoff happening in the back twelve and we're gonna go

8
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: over all the games. I'm George Rice Stir, That's Ralph

9
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: Ampston and this is the Pack twelve. Apostles Ralph all twelve.

10
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: Pack twelve teams are in actually no conference games this week.

11
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: How do you feel about this later games? I feel good.

12
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: I feel like the Pack twelve is set up for

13
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 1: success this week. There's two games that concern me a

14
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: little bit. One feels like a little bit of a

15
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: trap game and it's early in the morning and it's

16
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: an in state game. And another one of them is, uh,

17
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: it's just a team that's always walking around talking about

18
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: being national champions. So you know, there's a couple of

19
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: games that concerned me. Otherwise, I think that I think

20
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: that the Pact Bowel can be competitive in most of

21
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: these outside of maybe Oklahoma visiting the Rose Bowl. Yeah,

22
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 1: this issue of hydration heat kickoff times has been a

23
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 1: hot topic this week because Nick Saban brought it up.

24
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: And there's a story that you brought up to me

25
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: about players being given i vs prior to the game

26
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: because ed O Geron he talked about how there wasn't

27
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: enough a C in the Texas visiting locker room and

28
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: that he was thinking about giving players i vs before

29
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: the game or at halftime rather than wait for them

30
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: to cramp up. And you I think you thought this

31
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: was shocking, right, Yeah, I mean I'm I'm used to, like,

32
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: I know that the IVY thing exists, and I always

33
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: assume that it was sort of in case of an emergency.

34
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: You know, Benjamin had an IVY at halftime of the

35
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: Kent State game. But I mean, we have your old

36
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: boy out at Florida State talking about, uh, you know,

37
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: the team not having proper hydration. Um, we've got the

38
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: LFU thing now, and and and and the idea that

39
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: like that teams would just preemptively give players i vs

40
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: going into the game seems like, uh, something that would

41
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: cause people to freak out a little bit. I mean,

42
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: it just it strikes me as as sort of maybe

43
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: extraneous or odd or like, hey, maybe if we have

44
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: to inject fluids into somebody just to get them to

45
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: go out and play the game, maybe we shouldn't be

46
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: playing that game like that. I have that sort of

47
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 1: initial reaction just I think about my kids of like, man,

48
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: what I want them to have to have an IVY

49
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: just in order to go out and have fun um

50
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: And I just don't. You are overthinking this, brother, You

51
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: are way overthinking this. This is an IVY. They're not

52
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: pumping them with with steroids or mysterious fluids and chemical No,

53
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: it is just it is just sailing and and just

54
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: some some vitamins. Maybe when I played in Jacksonville, I

55
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: would I cramped up one time during the game and

56
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: I had to go to the locker room to get IVY.

57
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: Played in Jacksonville, Superhuman all of that, and this was

58
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: maybe my second or third year. I go into the

59
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: locker room. And first of all, when you're getting an IVY,

60
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: who do you want to give you an i VY?

61
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: Do you want the doctor to stick you or do

62
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: you want the nurse to stick the nurse? There are

63
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: no nurses there. It was only a doctor and an

64
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: old doctor at that he had to stick my my

65
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: dehydrated veins, which are apparently, as my mom who's a

66
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: nurse says, or very difficult to get already, but then

67
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: a doctor doing it makes it like ten times worse.

68
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: He hit to stick me four times first of all

69
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: to get it in the right spot. And then they

70
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: dumped in the matter of ten minutes. Because normally when

71
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: you go to the hospital, they put the I V

72
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: drip up and it just dripped, drip, drip, and it

73
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: takes it two hours to dump one bag of ivy,

74
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: and they dumped two bags of ivy and me, I

75
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: don't know how big they were, but they were big.

76
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: Two bags of IVY in me in ten minutes, two which,

77
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: which if you've never had this happen, is one of

78
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: the most uncomfortable things that you will ever feel, because

79
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: you will be peeing all night the next day, I mean,

80
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: that is it. You are gonna be piss until like

81
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: you're not even gonna be able to sleep. So that's

82
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: the first thing. But the so then after that, there

83
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: was a player on my team named Jimmy Smith. Jimmy

84
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: was like, George, look here here, here's what the big

85
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: boys do. Here's what smart guys to come over. I

86
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hook you up with with my doctor. I

87
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: thought I was going to go see the Balco doctor

88
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: getting the clear in the in the cream like Barry Bonds.

89
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: But what happened is they take your blood, see all

90
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: the aminos vitamins that your body needs that you're lacking,

91
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: and they give you your own special I V kit

92
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: and you have a nurse come over. We would do

93
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,239
Speaker 1: it on after the game on Monday, and then maybe

94
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: again on Friday prior to the game, and just make

95
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: sure that you are hydrated, that your body was optimal

96
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: and functioning at a high level. So for players in college,

97
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: just giving them an I V, especially when they're having

98
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: these hot kickoffs. It's in the beginning of the year.

99
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: Nobody's playing in the dome beside Syracuse, basically Syracuson and

100
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: um and Idaho. I don't I don't see a problem,

101
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: especially if you have these big old athletes. They are

102
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: in college. They don't necessarily eat the best. They're eating

103
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: a lot of junk food, you know, just to make

104
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: sure that they don't die, that they don't have a

105
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: medical issue. I don't see it. As a problem, Ralph,

106
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: your way overthinking it's I don't think it's that I

107
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: see it as a problem. I just see it like

108
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: if it's normalized, it feels a little bit weird. It

109
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: feels a little bit with Like I've I've always known

110
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: that people take ivy fluids when they're dealing with issues

111
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: of hydration in game. I've always known that it was

112
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: an option, and that's always been something that I've kind

113
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: of accepted. But like for college athletes to have it

114
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: sort of as the available go to, I think it

115
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: looks bad. It looks bad for the sport. It's not

116
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: necessarily a bad thing, but it looks like, hey, if

117
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: this is what we have to do to even get

118
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: people out there to be able to play, I think

119
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: it just is another check mark in the football is

120
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: dangerous crowd box, you know. But like you know, at

121
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: the same time, UH, players do need to be able

122
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,119
Speaker 1: to figure out to properly hydrate, and it might become

123
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: the norm. I saw this thing from a Climate Central,

124
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: which researches and reports the science and impacts of climate change,

125
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: and it says that Phoenix, where I live, outside of Phoenix,

126
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: by sixty the city will have a hundred and thirty

127
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: two days above one hundred degrees. So I mean, if that,

128
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: if that's where we're headed. I mean, the fact that

129
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: they even play sports outdoors here in the summer is

130
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: pretty wild. Um. But I mean, if if that's where

131
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: we're headed, then I could see it moved down to

132
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: the you know, to the high school level, if you

133
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: where where it's just sort of a necessary thing that

134
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: if you're gonna play football, you've got to do everything

135
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: you can do to keep people safe and hydrated. Um,

136
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: just because the weather is unsafe to play in down here,

137
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: I just I cover high school football down here. Um.

138
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: Modern day, the number one team in the country came

139
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: to visit, UH and kick off. It was a hundred

140
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: and five degrees, whereas usually in Santa Anna it's like six.

141
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: And you know, I wouldn't be surprised if some of

142
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: those kids needed something like that. And so it's it's

143
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: not so much that I think it's a bad thing.

144
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: It's just that it's you gotta understand, it doesn't sit

145
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: right like, Oh, we're doing this new thing just to

146
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: keep guys safe enough to play. Does that mean that

147
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: we're in the right by being more cautious or does

148
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: that mean that this game is even more dangerous than

149
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: we thought? Like, that's where it lines up for me. Well,

150
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: this is really only a one month problem, well a

151
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: two month problem. You got August and September. That's the

152
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: only time that this is a problem. The weather changes

153
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: in October pretty much everywhere, even in Arizona to weather

154
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: is changing in October. So this is only a beginning

155
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: of the season problem. Then after that it's just you know,

156
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 1: kind of on an individual as needed basis. But I'll

157
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: tell you this. My son is thirteen years old. He's

158
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: playing his first tackle football season when he is to

159
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: high school. Uh, and he's playing sports because I was

160
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: a kid who played a ton of sports, played multiple

161
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: sports in high school, and my body was going through

162
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: so much. And my son at thirteen, he gets massages already,

163
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: make sure he's extra hydrated. I have a game ready

164
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: at home to ices to ice him up after practice,

165
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: and Nora Tech all these things that I use for

166
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: me that then he turns around and is able to

167
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: use for him too. So I have no problem with it.

168
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: And guess what little d Rice Stir will be getting

169
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: some I vs in high school route he will Yeah.

170
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: I mean, if if that's the something that like that

171
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: you're pushing as a parent and not something that the

172
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: school is like recommending, I think that I'm more comfortable

173
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: with at times have obviously changed, we know a little

174
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: bit more, you know, Right, I ran track, I play football,

175
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: I did all those things. And I remember before the

176
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: before the two mile, which was my event, I'd throw

177
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: a handful of hot Tamali's into my mouth and wash

178
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: him down with a green exact exactly. You don't really

179
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 1: think about you are right now that old persons saying,

180
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: oh man, it was fine when I did it, And

181
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: I'm it's when people always tell me, but no, but yeah,

182
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: but you're right, it wasn't fine though, Like I'm relaxing

183
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: that now, like oh, those habits continued to you know,

184
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: after I actually was performing athletically, which is, you know,

185
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: lead to the shape that I'm in now. But like

186
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: I just I just it seems if if it's coming

187
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: from the parent and it's part of just like performing

188
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: uh at at an elite level, at the best level

189
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: you possibly can, you know, great, you don't want to

190
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: get into uh you know, what's his name is? Territory?

191
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: The USC quarterback that why about not ever having a

192
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: candy bar or a man of it Marianovitch Yet you

193
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: don't want to get into Marinovitch territory. But at the

194
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: same time, if it's something that uh, that that is

195
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: helpful to the body in in no way is sort

196
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: of like you know, illegal or performance enhancing or causes

197
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: them to have any complex or whatever, then I get it,

198
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: you know. But if it's the team saying like, hey,

199
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: in order to even go out on the field, you're

200
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: gonna need to have an IV I think then the

201
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: people who think football is too dangerous will just have

202
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: a lot more ammo um be with something like that. Dude,

203
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: the football is dangerous crowd and nobody should ever play

204
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: That crowd is never going away. That is that is

205
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: people who a lot of times are afraid of their

206
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: own shadow. The game is changing. It's a lot more

207
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: safer now. I am. I feel comfortable with my ton

208
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: playing now. And I sit on the Harvard the board

209
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: for the Harvard Football Health Study, like, so we go

210
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: over all the things once they get twelve thirteen, and

211
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: their brains are a lot of their skulls are a

212
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: lot more hard. It's a lot more safe and make

213
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: sure you're playing for a coach that values their health overwinning.

214
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: Um Ralph, U c l A. The Bruins have a

215
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: ticket problem. Let me tell you what came in the

216
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: email route. And I could not believe it because I

217
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: first saw it on online on Reddit and I was like, Okay,

218
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: this is probably some some trolls stuff from USC or

219
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: somebody else in the arrival. Let me read this to

220
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: you title. Four complementary tickets are in your account. Dear

221
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: Brewing family, thank you for supporting more than a hundred

222
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: student athletes who compete for the U c l A

223
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: football by attending Saturday's home opener at the Rose Bowl. So,

224
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 1: to make a long story short, to show our appreciation

225
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: for your loyalty and commitment to U c l A Football,

226
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: we would like to offer you four additional complimentary tickets

227
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: to this Saturday's home game against the number five ranked

228
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: Oklahoma Sooners. So it's a small token of our appreciation

229
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: from our athletic department for your continuing support as we

230
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: continue every day to work to build a successful football program.

231
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: I thought this was a lie, Ralph. I was like,

232
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna give away four tickets to every single season

233
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 1: ticket holder that attended last week's game. And mind you,

234
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: I didn't go to last week's game against San Diego State.

235
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: My I gave my tickets away. So guess what. My

236
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: tickets got scanned. So I was at the game, and

237
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: so you get this, Ralph. I I searched through the email.

238
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: I thought this was a joke there. I couldn't believe it.

239
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,599
Speaker 1: And then I find out from my in laws that

240
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: there was only about thirty five thousand people at the

241
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: game against San Diego State, which is atrocious. The Rose

242
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: Bowl seats over a hundred thousand people, so that's like

243
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: one every three seats empty. Do you realize how bad

244
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: that looked? And now they're giving away four tickets. There

245
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: anything more pathetic than it? I mean, I get it though, Like, yes,

246
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: yes it is pathetic, But what's the alternative? Is it

247
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: more pathetic to have those seats the empty when a

248
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: top five team comes to visit the Rose Bowl? To me,

249
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: that's the only thing more pathetic than just giving those

250
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: tickets away to make sure that it doesn't happen. And

251
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: here's here's my mindset on this. And I know that

252
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: it sounds crazy. It's early in the morning, So forgive me,

253
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: But what's the what's the lottery slogan? If you want

254
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: to win, you gotta play right. You and I both

255
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: know that if we buy a lottery ticket, we're gonna lose.

256
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: The odds are more in our favor. I guess in

257
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: our favor wouldn't be the appropriate thing to say, but

258
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: it's it's more likely that we get struck by lightning

259
00:14:55,400 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: than actually winning the lottery. But what if we win? Right?

260
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: That's what keeps us behind the tickets? What if we win?

261
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm out here in Arizona where almost

262
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: of the Arizona State fans that I meet are derived

263
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: from the time they beat Nebraska nineteen to nothing. In

264
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: either it's those people's kids, or it's like those people

265
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: who were at the game or who watched the game

266
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: who all remember the super improbable victory over the previous

267
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: years national champion shutting them out like that. That that

268
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: just being there or being around for the for that

269
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: planted the seeds of a fandom that has lasted generations

270
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: and keeps people excited. What if you see LA beats Oklahoma.

271
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not gonna happen, but what what if

272
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: they do. So it's like the whole lottery ticket thing, like,

273
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: if you want to win, you gotta play right. So

274
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: if you've got a few hundred a couple of thousand

275
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: more people in the stands at the Rose Bowl then

276
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: you would have had otherwise. And you see l A

277
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: pulls off some kind of mirror coal. You are planting

278
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: the seeds for generations of excitement, and it would be

279
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: a huge deal for U c l A. There's no

280
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: downside what they look stupid. They look stupid when they

281
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: got destroyed by San Diego State and Cincinnati with a

282
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: brand new coach that they're paying a bunch of money to,

283
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: they already look as stupid as they're gonna look. So

284
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: why not get some butts in the seats and roll

285
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: the dice. If they can take down Oklahoma with more

286
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: people in the stadium than would have been otherwise, it

287
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: will have a very long term impact. If not, it'll

288
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: just be a loss that we all So U c

289
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: l A is well, Oklahoma's favored by twenty three and

290
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: a half point, which I think is a yeah. I

291
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: was like, I was like, why is this line so low?

292
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: I expected this to be at least a thirty five

293
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: point line. And so on one hand, I agree with you, Ralph,

294
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: because remember when Stanford and Jim Harbaugh, Uh, they had

295
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: the big upset over USC they were like forty forty

296
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: nine point dogs or something like that. It was stupid.

297
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: It was stupid, like it was demote one of the

298
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,959
Speaker 1: most outrageous lines and they actually won. So and this

299
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: reminds me of dumb and dumber when they go so

300
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: you're saying there's a chance, like there's a point oh

301
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: oh one present chance they win this game. But you're

302
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 1: saying there's a chance. That's kind of what this is,

303
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 1: bro because you see l A. Oh. Actually, now that

304
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,479
Speaker 1: I think about it, when we get to the preview

305
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: this game, I'm gonna tell you guys why U C.

306
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: L A might actually look better in this game. So

307
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 1: that's the first thing. The second thing is, okay, the

308
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: where you said it's good if it happens. But the

309
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: other thing is you're gonna have recruits who come to

310
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: the game. You're going to have you know, a ton

311
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 1: of Oklahoma fans there because they're gonna come out because

312
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 1: the games in Los Angeles. But if you go and

313
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: it's fifty to three at halftime, people are gonna leave.

314
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: First of all, stadium is gonna be empty again, And

315
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: you look terrible in front of future U c l

316
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: A fans. You look terrible in front of future recruits,

317
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: or maybe future recruits are saying, oh my, oh my god,

318
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: they need me. I can come in here and start.

319
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: These dudes suck. So, I mean, there's so much potential

320
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 1: backlash in different areas, but I do agree that they

321
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: need a better home crowd. I mean it's terrible. Is

322
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: there no Lakers U c l A crossover? Like the

323
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: Lakers were bad for a really long time and people

324
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 1: still came to see who was gonna bring it, you know,

325
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 1: for the other team. They still wanted to show there

326
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 1: there is U c l A. There is USC Laker crossover.

327
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: I mean, people in l A they love their champions

328
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: and if you are ingrained in the culture as a champion.

329
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: So it's like U c l A football, US. I'm sorry,

330
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: USC football, U c l A basketball and Lakers that

331
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: is l A. You see, so fall even though they

332
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 1: do have eyes and trophy, even though they do have

333
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: a national jgy and football and they've had some really

334
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: really good years, it's just not the same like USC

335
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: was still getting five star players when they were on probation.

336
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: They couldn't even go to bowl games, and they were

337
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 1: still getting top five and top five recruiting classes. Um, Ralph,

338
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: the Pac twelve has a nine a m. Kickoff this

339
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: week on on the West Coast. Everybody was complaining about

340
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 1: nine am kickoffs and they said they put them to bed,

341
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: but they lied to us. Ralph. There is a ten

342
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: am kickoff. There is a Yeah, there's a ten am

343
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 1: kickoff as well, Ralph, what do you think about that? Well,

344
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: the nine am kickoff is actually gonna be in a

345
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. It's when Cal goes to visit I

346
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: think Oldness, Um, and so so it's you know, it's

347
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: it's a it's eleven am for them out there. But

348
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: I think we're going to get our first introduction to

349
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: what the future of this conference looks like, you know,

350
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: watching Cal at nine in the morning and hopefully there's

351
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 1: a little bit of offense mixed in for Cal to

352
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: help wake us up a little bit. Um. Yeah, but

353
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: that that's definitely gonna be interesting. And and if it

354
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: is I'm not sure if it's Old miss or Mississippi State,

355
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: but Memphis has already has a win, you know, over

356
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: Old miss so I think it's a winnable game. But um,

357
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 1: I just it just noticed that to like, hey, we're

358
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: gonna get our first taste of of that early morning

359
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: pack twelve football. It is a road game, but still

360
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: I think I think it's kind of a sneaky way

361
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: to just like sneak in the vegetables, uh into into

362
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: your kids food. Um, to just get us used to

363
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: it a little bit. And then I did notice that,

364
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: like in the meantime, you know, with these eleven am kickoffs,

365
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 1: I'm watching SEC teams complain about kicking off at eleven am,

366
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: and I made fun of I made fun of Alabama

367
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: on Twitter. I said that the whiniest champions in the

368
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: history of the world, Like they are just always finding

369
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: something to complain about. They are the reason the word

370
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: title is in the word entitlement. And I have a

371
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: former I had a former Alabama volleyball player reach out

372
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: to me who's married to a a former Alabama offensive

373
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,479
Speaker 1: lineman who's an offensive lineman in the NFL now, and

374
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: she was like, you realize these early kickoffs, like it's

375
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 1: more about the students, and it costs US millions of

376
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 1: dollars in like, you know, people that would have come

377
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 1: into the city and spent money and and all that

378
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: and get it. From that perspective, it's just weird to

379
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 1: hear Alabama complaining about stuff when they don't really do

380
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: much to make sure that these games are worth attending.

381
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,199
Speaker 1: You know. Saban went after the students again and it

382
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, well, you're playing a team that Wazoo

383
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: beat by fifty the week before, and you're up by

384
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: forty and the third quarter, Uh, what are you gonna

385
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 1: do if you're a student? Do you want to hang

386
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 1: over the hell? I'm just watching the SEC complain about

387
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,959
Speaker 1: all this stuff that, like in the Pact twelve has

388
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 1: it worse, Like we gotta kick off two hours earlier

389
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: than that, and and and you you have multiple championships,

390
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: don't even play anybody that matters, and you're piste off.

391
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: I just first of all, Alabama never plays a game

392
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 1: more than one time zone away from them. Never think

393
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: about this, Nick Saban. As long as he's been at

394
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: Alabama over a decade, he's only played two true role

395
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 1: games in the non conference. Only two. Alabama plays every

396
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: damn game at home except for their conference schedule. Games

397
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: that are mandated to play on the road. That is it.

398
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: They're play in Atlanta, they'll play in Dallas occasionally. Close

399
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: flights no more than an hour and a half. I

400
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: would bet you some of these Alabama guys are probably

401
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: scared scared of planes. Like they're like, oh oh, oh, man,

402
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: I I can't fly three hours. I can't fly anywhere

403
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: in three hours. That's way too long. I might die.

404
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: That's how bad their schedule is. So nobody wants to

405
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: hear them complaining. Nobody wants to hear Nick Sabans boo

406
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 1: hoo and about about people not showing up. Think about this.

407
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: Imagine if Alabama had to be like Washington State in

408
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: Washington or other pack twelve teams. If you're usc you

409
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: you have to play a game in the same year,

410
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: maybe in Arizona in a billion degrees in in Hell,

411
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: and then turn around a month and a half later

412
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: and play a game in in a polar ice cap

413
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: in Pullman. Like they don't have these weather changes. They

414
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: don't have these like like uh geological phenomenon that they

415
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: have to deal with. Yeah, right, And like Greg greg Byrne,

416
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 1: the athletic director out of Alabama is the former athletic

417
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: director from the University of Arizona. University of Arizona played

418
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: thirteen games in a row one time without a bye week.

419
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: That's how bad the back twelve screwed them. And he's

420
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: out here crafting official letters complaining about an eleven am

421
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: kickoff against the team that they're gonna wreck by fifty.

422
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 1: And it's just like, do you even remember your time

423
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: at Arizona. You had thirteen straight weeks of playing football,

424
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: you had an extra game, and a lot of those

425
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: kickoffs were at nine at night, Like, just it could

426
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: be worse. Man, They're not even gonna have any hydration

427
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: problems in Alabama because they're barely gonna have anybody playing.

428
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: I mean, these guys, is gonna be a tune up game.

429
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: And and yet that's what fans are gonna show up

430
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 1: either not because it's not hot, because we see that

431
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 1: fans show up regardless of weather when there's a good

432
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: product on the field, and maybe schedule better Alabama, nobody cares.

433
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: Nobody cares about your boohoo in it, Nick saban Um George,

434
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: would anybody care about the Rocky films if it was

435
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 1: just five movies of Rocky not having any adversity and

436
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 1: knocking everybody out in the first round. This isn't even adversity.

437
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: This is not adversity. But I'm just saying. I'm just saying,

438
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: students aren't gonna go to these games if you're just

439
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 1: getting everybody out all the time, if there's nothing really

440
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 1: to watch. And the Avengers just made like two billion

441
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 1: dollars because it was a movie where the bad guy

442
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: won and then the good guys come back and they win.

443
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: Star Wars is the most popular movie of all time

444
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: because the Empire stru back. Like, you need competition to

445
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: keep people interested. So I just don't get like blasting

446
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: these students for not one of the on the games

447
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: where you know they totally agree. But before we get

448
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 1: into the games right now, I have a question for

449
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: you which is more pathetic, because I want to go back.

450
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: I forgot when we were talking about U c l A.

451
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: Which is more pathetic U c l A having to

452
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: giveaway for tickets or Michigan a few years ago having

453
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: to offer fans free tickets if they brought a coke

454
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: can to the game. I think, by your own rules,

455
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: Michigan has more tradition, and so that would be that

456
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: would be it for me. I mean, this is this

457
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 1: is like a long standing problem with u c l A.

458
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 1: And I'm almost wondering why they haven't given tickets away sooner.

459
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: I am never understand why they don't just give away

460
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: unsold tickets to make sure that there's butts in the

461
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: seats as just a loss leader. I've never understood that.

462
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 1: So for me, it's gonna be Michigan. Well, yeah, because

463
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: those people are gonna buy concessions. They have to park

464
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: like you're actually gonna put some revenue back in your

465
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 1: in your pocket and maybe you convert some fans, especially

466
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: in a hundred thousand seats stadium when the when the

467
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: attendance is not the same as it is that Brian

468
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: Denny at Alabama or or in Knoxville at Tennessee or Michigan.

469
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 1: Even those teams when they're bad, they have attendance problems.

470
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: And that's what u c l A Is going through

471
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: right now. Now, Ralph onto the games. First game, we

472
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: got another stupid Friday night kickoff six fifteen. Washington State

473
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: heads down to Houston, and Washington State fans, I'm telling

474
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: you right now, you better not lose this game. After

475
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: you have been crying and complaining about where your team

476
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: is ranked in the in the power rankings. We don't

477
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: want to hear you crying. This is your opportunity. You

478
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: played New Mexico State and Divide already and I T

479
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: T Tech. That's who you play, and you want to

480
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 1: be righted. They're ranked. They're ranked in the top twenty

481
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: five this week, number twenty because their offense quote unquote,

482
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,439
Speaker 1: Ralph is the most efficient in the country. Despite playing

483
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: my eighth graders Pop Warner team, their favored by eight

484
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 1: and a half points. What do you see in this game? Well,

485
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 1: first of all, I think that that line is a

486
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: little bit confusing for me. I don't think Houston is

487
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,439
Speaker 1: gonna be able to hang Um, but they do have

488
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: the advantage of being at home, and and it's hard

489
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 1: to count out any team that has the Eric King Um.

490
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: This is a Houston team that can score a whole

491
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: lot of points, but if their quarterback isn't on, they

492
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: can get blown out by thirty. It's there are very

493
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: few teams that are is dependent on the performance of

494
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: one player as Houston is at this point. Um, and

495
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: so it really comes down to you know, whether Mike

496
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: Leach has taken a break from tweeting about uh Texas

497
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: Tech or if he's not distracted by being back in

498
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: the state of Texas. Uh and and it is taking

499
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: the time to figure out how to show his defense

500
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: how to slow down that quarterback. And if they do that,

501
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: I don't I don't see any reason why this shouldn't

502
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: be a twenty to thirty point victory. I would be

503
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: a little bit shocked if it was close. If this

504
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: game is close, it's gonna make me question their ability

505
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 1: to compete when it comes time to play UM in

506
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: the Pac twelve. I think that they need to go

507
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: to Houston and they need to show that the first

508
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: two weeks weren't just a fluke, and they need to

509
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: try to put up forty five to fifty points on

510
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: the board and let their defense do what it's been

511
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: doing for the last couple of years, which is make

512
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: other offenses look worse than they really are. Here is

513
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: the part that confuses me about Houston when I'm looking

514
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: at this game. First, they played Oklahoma opening week forty

515
00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 1: nine to thirty one. That gave me concerns about a

516
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: homeless defense. But then because it's been bad. But then

517
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: also I'm like, Okay, Houston has some dudes, you got

518
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: a good coach, And I'm like, Okay, this actually is

519
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: maybe not bad like this like there may be okay.

520
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: But then they come back the very next week and

521
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: play Prairie View A and M and win the game

522
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: thirty seven to seventeen, thirty seven and seventeen. So I'm

523
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this game and I'm saying, wow, uh,

524
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: maybe he I have no clue about Houston. Now, I'm

525
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: saying that Dana Holgerson, Holkerson's team, who used to be

526
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: the coach at West Virginia, who's now in Houston. I'm saying,

527
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what to make of this team. However,

528
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: Washington State should clearly beat this team and and if

529
00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: they don't demolish them, if Aaron Gordon, who's all already

530
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: in two games thrown for eight hundred eighty four yards

531
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: nine touchdowns, Max Borgi has another three touchdowns, that this

532
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: is a game that they need to absolutely dominate. And

533
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: if they don't, Ralph I totally agree that I'm throwing

534
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: a wet blanket on their back. Twelve conference play future

535
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: this year, the one area where Houston is dangerous as

536
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: they can sustain a drive they have they have enough

537
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: weapons too. I mean when when they were playing Oklahoma,

538
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,719
Speaker 1: they were down thirty five to ten, and then all

539
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: the sworden like the offense started to click. They had

540
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: a twelve play eighty seven yard touchdown drive to bring

541
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: it to thirty five seventeen. And then in the fourth

542
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: quarter they held the ball almost the entire time. They

543
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: had a twelve place seventy five yard drive to score

544
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: and then a seven place seventy two yard drive to

545
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,719
Speaker 1: score just in the final nine minutes. So if they

546
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: can find a way to have sustained offensive drives and

547
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: that keeps Anthony Gordon off the field and and then

548
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, that becomes a problem for Washington State.

549
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: Washington State's offense needs to be on the field, the

550
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: defense needs to get stops. I mean that. I mean,

551
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: that's just football regardless, but I mean that that's the

552
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: one thing that's dangerous about this Houston team is with

553
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: Dana Holgersson, Like he knows how to just eat up

554
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: a little bit of yards here and there, and they're

555
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: patient enough that if they're able to do that early

556
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: in the game. Then you can get yourself in some trouble,

557
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: you can get outside your game plan. And Houston's quarterback

558
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: king is like Khalil Tate. He is fast, he's gonna run.

559
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: He may be able to throw better than Khalil. But

560
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm sorry I may have offended Khalil Tate

561
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: Amsden his dad or are you are you his dad uncle?

562
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to I'm just an admirer, Just an admirer.

563
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: That's all. Okay, You and you and you and everybody

564
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: else with his last name um and that. That's who.

565
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: That's who Houston is. Like. They have an athletic core

566
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: in the back. They have some athletes that get a

567
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: lot of bounce backs from other Power five schools, particularly

568
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: you know, they'll come from Oregon's had guys go there.

569
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: You'll get guys from USC, from from Michigan, Central Florida

570
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: like they are that tea. Well, actually Central Florida is

571
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: a bounce back team too, but they get a lot

572
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: of bounced back guys. That's who they are. Next game

573
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 1: up Saturday, this is an early kickoff kickoff. USC heads

574
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: to b y u Keaton Slova's after his phenomenal game.

575
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: He's been reading his press clippings. They go to b

576
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: y U, who Utah had, you know, had a little

577
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: trouble with in the Holy War, and USC is favored

578
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: by four and a half points. Who you got in

579
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: this game, Ralph? I have, I mean, I have USC.

580
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: I've I've always had USC starting off four and one,

581
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: and so I'm gonna I'm gonna keep riding that until

582
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,719
Speaker 1: it happens so that I can brag uh and then

583
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: if it doesn't, you'll never hear from again. But I

584
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: think that, um, I think that Utah showed that you

585
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 1: could go into pro bo and win. I don't think

586
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 1: the victory of Tennessee is as impressive anymore after what

587
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 1: Georgia State did, um So. I mean, this b y

588
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 1: U team is just not the brand has moved to

589
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,800
Speaker 1: like smash mouth football, Like b y U is almost

590
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 1: trying to be Utah a little bit, and like that's

591
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: not what b y U is. B YU has always

592
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 1: been big and strong, but they've been able to wing

593
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: the ball all over the field. They've always had good quarterbacks.

594
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: And I feel like this team is just a little

595
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 1: bit outside of that brand and that identity where they

596
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: had a lot of success. If they're not able to

597
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: score and score quickly, then you could run into some

598
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: serious trouble with with trying to defend the athleticism of

599
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 1: what USC has um on the outside and then getting

600
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 1: your offense back on the field and trying to play

601
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: catch up. Um. Do I think that this USC team

602
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: has the maturity to go in and not have a

603
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: hangover from beating Stanford and not be reading their own

604
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: press clippings? Uh? No, So I think that this game

605
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 1: will probably be closer than USC fans are comfortable with.

606
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: But I do you see USC coming out with a whim?

607
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: I do too. I got USC winning too. But I

608
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: definitely agree that they've been reading their own press clippings.

609
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: They've been looking. Maybe Clay Hilton's walking around the facility

610
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: with a little more swagger, like Hai hai, I ain't

611
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: getting fired today, buddy, ha ha you yeah, uh huh,

612
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: you know what I'm doing. If you're Utah, then you've

613
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: you've definitely got an eye on this game, because how

614
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: good would it make Utah look if you talk to

615
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: beat b y U by eighteen, which is the first

616
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: time in several years that they beat them by more

617
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: than one touchdown. Then b y U goes and beats

618
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: Tennessee at Nayland in overtime and then beat USC. I

619
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,919
Speaker 1: think it that would put Utah in the driver's seat

620
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 1: as the absolute favorite in the Pact Club South and

621
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: and they'd be kind of casting a shadow over everybody.

622
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: USC would go into that Utah of the game is

623
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: probably an extreme underdog at home and so um I

624
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 1: think that this game, if you're a Utah thing, you

625
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: gotta be swallow a really bitter pill and root for

626
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: b y U. Oh dude, I can think the complete

627
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 1: opposite uh USC winning a close game it has no

628
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: bearing on how they play against Utah at at home,

629
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: only because Keaton Slova's the freshman kid. It was his

630
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: first start last week at home against Stanford and he

631
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: started against another first time starting quarterback, so the pressure

632
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 1: was low and as wide receiver showed up and made

633
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: big plays for him. All of that, but now taking

634
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 1: his game on the road for the first time in

635
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 1: what is going to absolutely be a hostile environment. There's

636
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: gonna be no friends. The Mormons are gonna be saying

637
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: things that they have to repent for the next day

638
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: or when they get home. It is not gonna be

639
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 1: a nice environment because we know that they get ruckis

640
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: and crazy because uh, Utah Jazz fans are known as

641
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:18,399
Speaker 1: the most ridiculously rude sometimes and saying the most inappropriate things.

642
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:23,320
Speaker 1: They're almost up there with with Philadelphia Eagles fans. So

643
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 1: I got USC in the game. I think it's gonna

644
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 1: be closer than they wanted because they got a freshman

645
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:32,800
Speaker 1: quarterback going on the road. They're averaging thirty eight points

646
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: a game right now. Utah's only I'm sorry, Utah by

647
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 1: us only averaging twenty points a game. I like U

648
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: s C in this football game, um ralph uh we

649
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 1: also got on Saturday, we got air Force heading to Colorado.

650
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 1: This game's on Pack twelve network. Colorado's favorite by three

651
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 1: and a half points. I like Colorado in this game

652
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: only because they're playing at home, they're two and oh

653
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: and they have a little bit of confidence surrounding them.

654
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 1: But playing against a service academy who mainly it's gonna

655
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,479
Speaker 1: run triple option, they're gonna throw it about a little

656
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: a little bit more than Army does. But this is

657
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 1: not this is not going to be a cakewalk. You

658
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: are correct, as somebody who grew up a Wyoming fan.

659
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: Every time I see air Force on the schedule, anytime

660
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: I see air Force on anybody's schedule, I just shutter

661
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:37,839
Speaker 1: a little bit because it's gonna be a long day

662
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: of cut blocking. Like it's gonna be a long day

663
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 1: of them really efficiently running the triple option. They've got

664
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: athletes to uh to be dangerous if they get to

665
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 1: the outside. They're used to this. Um. They play hard

666
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 1: no matter what. Uh. They're a team that sticks to

667
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,800
Speaker 1: what they do even if they get down, which you

668
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: it's weird to see teams that run themselves back in

669
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: the games, but they'll do it. Uh. And so you know,

670
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: it's it's just you watched last week's performance for Colorado,

671
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 1: and it's great that they beat Nebraska and everything, but

672
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: that slow start is still a concern that that happened.

673
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: That's something that we need to talk about. Them being

674
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: down seventeen nothing at halftime. You can't flirt that way

675
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: with air Force, because not only will you have a

676
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: harder time getting back into a game, uh, you won't

677
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: have the ball like Nebraska is stupid enough to to

678
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: to throw the ball while they're up. Have a few

679
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 1: incomplete passes and then have to punt it back to Colorado.

680
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: Air Force isn't gonna do that. They're gonna take their

681
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,359
Speaker 1: two and a half yards per down and they're gonna

682
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 1: keep the ball away from you the entire time. A

683
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: quick start has never been more important for Colorado. This

684
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 1: is a trap game. They need to just make sure

685
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:56,879
Speaker 1: that they get out of there with the win. Even

686
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: the line is scared. The line tells me that there's

687
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: enough people that believe that air Force is going to

688
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 1: go in and get this game, and that a lot

689
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 1: of people are actually betting against Colorado. I like Colorado

690
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 1: to win, but I'm super worried for them if they

691
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: have a repeat performance like they did with Nebraska and

692
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: don't put up any points in the first half. The

693
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:21,320
Speaker 1: triple option motto, the way it's built is three plus

694
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: three plus three plus three is twelve. Three yards to

695
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 1: carry is just fine because then you end up in

696
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 1: fourth at one. If you pick up another three yards,

697
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: you got a first down, buddy, And they just grind

698
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 1: the clock. There are no incompletions, so the clock just

699
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: runs the random runds, so the game is a lot shorter. So,

700
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,240
Speaker 1: like you said, they're not gonna have as many opportunities

701
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:47,800
Speaker 1: to come back. Next game, we got Stanford k J.

702
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 1: Costella is supposed to be back. They're heading down to

703
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: Orlando to play UCF. UCF is an entire touchdown favorite

704
00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 1: seven points and I'm a you see F guy like

705
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: I like you CEF. However, they're playing against the Pac twelve.

706
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 1: This is another game that would be that that would

707
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 1: be an untenable loss like that would just the conference.

708
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 1: Can't have this game on national television on ESPN as

709
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 1: a loss for the Pack twelve. It would just be

710
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: absolutely brutal. Even though you SEEF is the best team

711
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 1: in the state of Florida. I mean, I don't know

712
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 1: how you define best. If it's just results then and coaching,

713
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: then I think you you can definitely make an argument

714
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: who is better. We saw we saw Florida just just

715
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 1: winning wise and if these two teams played because we

716
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 1: because Florida played Miami, they both looked terrible. Florida was

717
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: a miracle they escaped, and over the last couple of seasons,

718
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: you CEF has been better and you e F would

719
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:06,720
Speaker 1: beat Florida Miami, and um, yeah, Florida Miami and Florida

720
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: State right now. Yeah, I mean, I don't doubt they'd

721
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: beat Florida State, but the other two, the other two

722
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 1: I think would be a little closer than maybe you're

723
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 1: you're thinking they but yeah, I mean, it's not it's

724
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,439
Speaker 1: not it's not ridiculous to say that they're the best

725
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 1: team in Florida, and in fact, it's not ridiculous to

726
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: just let's just call him the best team in the country,

727
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: because that's what they'd call themselves. So, UM, I don't

728
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 1: know about this game. I don't think it looks good

729
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 1: for Stanford. Uh, after last week of you know, allowing

730
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 1: almost four yards passing and then to have to go

731
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 1: up against I mean, Mackenzie Milton is still throwing passes

732
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 1: for UCF out there right like he came back. That's

733
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 1: that's trouble. Um. It's yeah, you gotta go all the

734
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 1: way across the country. You gotta play at nine thirty

735
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 1: in the morning in your time against a team that

736
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: is just super hot offensively, and you've got to hope

737
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:09,479
Speaker 1: that you're grinded out style will muddy things up enough,

738
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:15,879
Speaker 1: um to keep them off rhythm, hopefully hopefully getting beat

739
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 1: by USC sort of centered everybody, Um going into this game,

740
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 1: but then you're also dealing with the fact that you

741
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 1: know you're not gonna have Walker a little for the

742
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 1: rest of the season. Like what a huge blow that is, right,

743
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: So maybe they're a little bit distracted. I like, I

744
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: like you CF in this guy. I hate to say this,

745
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: but I like U c F in this game. I

746
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: just think that, I mean, it was ballsy Stanford to

747
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: go out there in the first place. Maybe maybe this

748
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 1: was scheduled several years ago and then it realized that

749
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: you CF was gonna be the you know, the powerhouse

750
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 1: that they are now. But I just not a lot

751
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: about this game looks good for Stanford. The only positive

752
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 1: for Stanford I think is that last year they went

753
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: out to Nebraska played in early kick, and you have

754
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:09,399
Speaker 1: most of those same players back, and now they're going

755
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: to the East Coast again playing another early kick. So

756
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: I think that last year prepared them a little bit

757
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 1: for that. So I man, I want to take Stanford.

758
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 1: I want to take them, but I'm taking Stanford. I'm

759
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: taking Stanford. I'm staying with the PAC twelfth Conference. I God,

760
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: I just like u CF. I like how hard they played.

761
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: They've got good talented players, but I'm taking Stanford, Ralph,

762
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:38,800
Speaker 1: I'm going on the books is taking Stanford. Oh and

763
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 1: after this week, we are keeping score. We are keeping score,

764
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,359
Speaker 1: We're keeping tally. The way everybody knows that I'm greater

765
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,439
Speaker 1: than you in picking games. Well, this is the first

766
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: of all, this is a PAC twelve North game, So

767
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 1: obviously you're gonna get it right and I'm gonna get

768
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: it wrong because so far I've only been right about

769
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: PacTel South stuff. Uh So, I mean, and I hope

770
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 1: you're right. I hope that you're right because as it

771
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 1: would be really funny to see, you know, all the

772
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 1: national media who all hates UCF just waiting to descend

773
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 1: and and poke fun at that team. But then at

774
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 1: the same time it hurt my feelings a little bit

775
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 1: because then they the way that they would do it

776
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: is by downplaying Stanford in saying you got beat by

777
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,359
Speaker 1: Stanford in the down year. They're not even that good.

778
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:24,280
Speaker 1: So you're gonna get some backdoor insults if Stanford wins.

779
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 1: But I think that that Stanford would be happy to

780
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:34,320
Speaker 1: take that. Uh. I agree. The next game of your boys,

781
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 1: the Arizona State Sun Devils. They head out to play

782
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:44,399
Speaker 1: Number eight team Michigan. They are fourteen point dogs, which

783
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 1: is crazy because Michigan State is like the cow of

784
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 1: West Like, they have great defense, don't score a lot

785
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 1: of offense, well coached well, there is not a snowballs

786
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:02,319
Speaker 1: chance in hell that I'm that Arizona State wins this game.

787
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 1: I see no possible solution, especially after last week when

788
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 1: they played against Sacramento State. They could not protect the

789
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 1: quarterback against Sacramento State and l Workey, who is a

790
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 1: run pass option at at Michigan State at quarterback. Bro, Like,

791
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 1: there's no chance Arizona State wins this game. They won

792
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 1: last year. But Michigan State's actually scoring a little bit

793
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 1: of points this year. They're averaging thirty nine and a

794
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: half points even though even though Ralph, so far they've

795
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 1: only played Tulsa and Western Michigan. But in previous years

796
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 1: they would have given up way less I mean, they

797
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 1: would have scored way less points. They're only allowing twelve

798
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:58,879
Speaker 1: points a game. They're gobbling up yards, only allowing two

799
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 1: sixteen yards of game. Bro, there's no chance Arizona State

800
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,799
Speaker 1: wins this game. Ralph, tell me I'm wrong. I think

801
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:09,760
Speaker 1: that there's a chance. Um I don't think Michigan States

802
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 1: that good this year. Uh, they looked so bad against Tulsa.

803
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 1: I watched that game. That was I mean, the defensive

804
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 1: touchdowns helped the bottom line for that score, but offensively,

805
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 1: Michigan State is an absolute mess. They never really figure

806
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 1: out what to do with their quarterbacks out there, and

807
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 1: then their quarterbacks go to the NFL and they look

808
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:35,399
Speaker 1: like they should have been absolute stars at the collegiate level.

809
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 1: I mean, the NFL is filled with former Michigan State

810
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 1: quarterbacks right who are all outperforming the way that they

811
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:43,239
Speaker 1: played when they were at Michigan State. I think Brian

812
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 1: the Work He's going to be another one of those.

813
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 1: He's in his fifth year at Michigan State. He's in

814
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 1: his fourth year as a starter. He's down here from

815
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 1: Pinnacle High School where Spencer Rattler went to went to school,

816
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: who was at Oklahoma. Now. I watched Brian the Lurky

817
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 1: down here when he was in high school. He's one

818
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,399
Speaker 1: of those guys who every week will make one throw

819
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: that will make you think like, Wow, this man is

820
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 1: a superhuman. That throw should be impossible, and then the

821
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 1: rest of the game he'll just get hit a bunch

822
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 1: and be inaccurate, and so his inaccuracies give Arizona State

823
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:20,280
Speaker 1: the opening to try to do something. Because if Michigan

824
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:23,239
Speaker 1: State let's as you hang around like they did last

825
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 1: year in Tempe when they lost to a s U,

826
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 1: if they let them hang around and he's not able

827
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 1: to make the plays when it matters, then you give

828
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 1: Arizona State a chance to compete. My thing is a

829
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 1: s U has never really been all that good on

830
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: the road ever. Uh, they always sort of find a

831
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 1: way to disappoint um. But also they play like twenty

832
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:48,839
Speaker 1: freshman on this team, so that could work either way.

833
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 1: The freshman could know no better and go in and

834
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 1: and cause some problems for another team, or they could

835
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 1: go in and they can be completely overwhelmed. And I'm

836
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 1: not really sure which one that would be yet. The

837
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,919
Speaker 1: guy I'm most afraid of his Ray Kwan Williams, Big

838
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,799
Speaker 1: number ninety nine for Michigan State six four three oh three.

839
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:11,359
Speaker 1: If Arizona State's offensive line is going to have problems, uh,

840
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:14,359
Speaker 1: he's gonna feast. He is already one of the best

841
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: players in all of college football. And and I don't

842
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 1: really see Arizona State having a very easy time blocking him.

843
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 1: But if Michigan State can't score, then it is what

844
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 1: it is like you've got You've got. Arizona State special

845
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: teams is one of the best in the country and

846
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 1: is a weapon. Bro is a weapon. Their punters a weapon,

847
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 1: and their backup kicker is six for six on field

848
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:45,839
Speaker 1: goals and their regular kicker has gone viral for kicking

849
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:49,800
Speaker 1: seventy five yarders in in in several you know videos.

850
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 1: So like, they're good on special teams. If you want

851
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 1: to play a field position special teams game as you

852
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 1: might have the advantage. But I just don't see a

853
00:49:57,600 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: sure really being able to move the ball all that well.

854
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 1: Um I I I if Michigan State does cover this line,

855
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 1: it'll be because of like sevent three. Um So I'm

856
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 1: with you in that I think Michigan State pulls this out.

857
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 1: I think home field is going to be really huge

858
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:17,279
Speaker 1: for them. But I'm looking at like a four team game.

859
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,840
Speaker 1: I think that I think it'll be close, and I

860
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 1: think it will just be god awful ugly. Both of

861
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:28,719
Speaker 1: these offenses are are abominable, and then both of the

862
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 1: defenses are pretty good and playing against each other, it

863
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 1: could just be messy. This is the same Michigan State team,

864
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,759
Speaker 1: well a little bit different, that played a bowl game

865
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: last year against Oregon and lost seven to six. It

866
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 1: was one of the most horrendous football games I've ever seen,

867
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 1: one of the most horrendous. Next game up should be

868
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 1: an absolute just house call. I have been critical of

869
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 1: Utah's offense, but I don't even see the line on

870
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:02,479
Speaker 1: this game. They're playing Idaho State, They're probably they're probably

871
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 1: favored by a billion They're playing at Rights Echo Stadium one.

872
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:11,799
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't even know what station this game

873
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 1: is on because it's not even showing. It might be

874
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 1: on like streaming on Facebook, like like the Hawaii game.

875
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:22,839
Speaker 1: I mean, this is another one of these non competitive,

876
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:28,759
Speaker 1: nonconference games. Utah's defense is gonna absolutely drown Idaho State.

877
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 1: They're going to just hold them underwater and just they're

878
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:36,800
Speaker 1: never gonna let up. And unless Tyler Huntley throws picks

879
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:40,959
Speaker 1: or Zack Moss is fumbling the ball, there's no chance

880
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 1: they lose this this game. This game is about keeping

881
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 1: people healthy. Yeah, just hand the ball off to Zack Moss,

882
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 1: like there's no reason to do anything else. Idaho State

883
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:55,440
Speaker 1: has a couple of the one bouncebacks. But they're not

884
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 1: They're not in any way a threat. They're not a

885
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: threat even in the big sky to the do anything

886
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:05,880
Speaker 1: of consequence. And so I mean find a way you

887
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 1: talk and find a way to make things seen closer

888
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 1: than they really are, just with the way they run

889
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 1: their offense. But I mean Idaho States also a team

890
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 1: that likes to run. So maybe it could just be

891
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 1: um maybe it could end up being a low scoring game.

892
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 1: But you know, this is a this is a Idaho

893
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 1: State team that ran for over twenty yards last year,

894
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 1: um and and and and was able to throw the

895
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 1: ball a little bit, so they're balanced. Maybe if they

896
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:37,800
Speaker 1: can find a way to hold onto the ball, it

897
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:40,279
Speaker 1: won't be as bad of a blood bath. But I

898
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:42,400
Speaker 1: think that if you're if you follow the Pack twelve,

899
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 1: and if you follow Utah, you would just be happy

900
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,279
Speaker 1: to get in there and do what Arizona did in

901
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 1: the first half against NAU last week, and just you know,

902
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 1: have it been at halftime. Get the backups in and

903
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:59,440
Speaker 1: and and let them get some time. Totally agree. This

904
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 1: is a game where you get your guys who are

905
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:05,920
Speaker 1: gonna red shirt some experience, you get them. This is

906
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,319
Speaker 1: one of those games that they get to play one

907
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 1: of their four games. You take advantage of it. You

908
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: let them play as much as possible. The way next

909
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:15,760
Speaker 1: year when they come out and played, they're not terrified.

910
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 1: Or if somebody gets hurt and they have to play

911
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 1: this year, they're in good position. Uh next next game.

912
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:25,399
Speaker 1: I know this team will not have a hangover because

913
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 1: I know they're coaching staff I played with Justin Wilcox,

914
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 1: have former coaches that I coached with well that I

915
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 1: played for on this staff, And maybe why I like

916
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:39,359
Speaker 1: Cows so much. One of my good friends coaches for him.

917
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, their team is

918
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:47,600
Speaker 1: just really damn good. They're really damn good on defense.

919
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:51,359
Speaker 1: Their offensive trash. And I hate to say it about

920
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:54,440
Speaker 1: college kids because it's not necessarily all their fault, but

921
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 1: sometimes you just don't have the requisite skills all the

922
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 1: time to do what you need to do, um to

923
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:05,440
Speaker 1: do what coaches are asking you to do. Everybody knows

924
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 1: they want better players. Everybody wants better recruits. They are

925
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 1: three star guys that are coached up into five star guys.

926
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 1: So imagine if Cal keeps winning and they end up

927
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 1: getting some four and five star guys. This team was

928
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 1: gonna be stupid. They're playing North Texas. Their favored by

929
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:26,279
Speaker 1: thirteen and a half points, which is which is crazy

930
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 1: to me because that means if CAL is favored by

931
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 1: thirteen and a half points, that means they'll probably win

932
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 1: the game fourteen and zero. You know, Um, North Texas

933
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:40,920
Speaker 1: beat somebody named a c U and they lost to

934
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 1: Southern miss forty nine to twenty seven. You know, this

935
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 1: is I don't even I don't even know. I don't

936
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:50,560
Speaker 1: even know where to start with this game, Cat, because

937
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 1: I don't know much about North Texas, but I do

938
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:58,399
Speaker 1: know about Cal, and Cow's defense should absolutely destroy them,

939
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 1: and there should be an opportunity for Chase Garbers, their quarterback.

940
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:10,440
Speaker 1: They're they're young. They're they're young running backs Christopher and

941
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 1: uh oh gosh and the other guys you like Darcy.

942
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 1: They should have big games. Cal wins this game easily.

943
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:21,839
Speaker 1: You know, they covered a thirteen and a half points

944
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:29,439
Speaker 1: by winning fourteen zero. UM, I think this is cool.

945
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:31,400
Speaker 1: This is a really cool game for um. This is

946
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 1: one that I'm I'm actually really excited to watch because

947
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 1: you have the you know what we think is probably

948
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 1: the best secondary in the pack twelve gets to go

949
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:43,719
Speaker 1: up against the quarterback who is forty eight yards away

950
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 1: from ten thousand career passing yards in Mason Fine, and so, um,

951
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:50,399
Speaker 1: you know, this is a this is a really cool

952
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:53,400
Speaker 1: opportunity for Cal the shine and to show what they

953
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 1: can do against a pretty good quarterback. You know, a

954
00:55:56,800 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 1: quarterback who's got who threw for thirty hundred yards last year,

955
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 1: four thousand the year before that, uh, four year starter. So, um,

956
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 1: you know this is this is one of those things

957
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 1: where if Cal's defensive backs show up, you can absolutely

958
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:15,440
Speaker 1: say that they're for real. Because the one thing that

959
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:18,399
Speaker 1: North Texas can do is throw the ball all over

960
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 1: the field. It hasn't translated to winds. But at the

961
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:25,640
Speaker 1: same time, you can measure what they typically do statistically

962
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:29,360
Speaker 1: against what they do statistically against Cal and say, you know,

963
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 1: here's why caw is special. So this is an opportunity

964
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:36,720
Speaker 1: game for CAL to showcase what they're all about. Because

965
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:38,880
Speaker 1: you know, Mason Fine is one of those guys who's

966
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:42,600
Speaker 1: just uh, he's a shade under six foot. He kind

967
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 1: of fell to uh to a group of five school

968
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:48,239
Speaker 1: and he's found a way to really thrive and um,

969
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: you know, This is a guy in Mason find who,

970
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:52,759
Speaker 1: if he had an opportunity to play Oregon State or

971
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 1: Arizona this week, would no doubt throw for four hundred

972
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:58,839
Speaker 1: fifty yards. So it'll be interesting to see what Cal

973
00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 1: does against him. A big game for Cal as far

974
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:08,680
Speaker 1: as just showcasing, and I'm excited for that. The next

975
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 1: game up, Oh, somebody should get a win. The Beavers

976
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 1: of Oregon State should get a win against cal Polly.

977
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:24,880
Speaker 1: They're playing at home. I coached my son's, my youngest son,

978
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 1: who's eight, his flag football team. I just found out

979
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 1: one of the parents are Beaver fans. And I was like, oh,

980
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:35,440
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you guys are bad and and and he said, oh,

981
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 1: don't don't worry. The tables are gonna turn soon on

982
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 1: Oregon and Oregon State. I was like, uh, have you

983
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:47,240
Speaker 1: seen what's going on? Not really, not really. I was like,

984
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:49,959
Speaker 1: it'll probably be at least a decade before you guys

985
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:56,240
Speaker 1: win another game. And but they're playing cal Polly. They're

986
00:57:56,320 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 1: owing to Jake Luton, They're quarterback. Had a bad game.

987
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 1: Last last game, they lost to how Y E. They

988
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 1: lost a whole Hawaii thirty one. Make me believe Ralph

989
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 1: that I'm making a good choice in picking Oregon State.

990
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:19,479
Speaker 1: I think you are. Um, I'm a little bit worried

991
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 1: about their defense even in this game, because you know,

992
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 1: San Diego State managed to score six against Weaver State,

993
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:27,920
Speaker 1: right well, cal Poly played him the next week and drop,

994
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 1: so so uh, you know, I look at Oregon States

995
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:37,240
Speaker 1: defense and they actually had a pretty good second half

996
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 1: against too. Why you gotta give them credit for that.

997
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 1: As the offense, it didn't do anything, um, But yeah,

998
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 1: I think that there's a chance for them to give

999
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 1: up some points. I just again, I'm a big believer

1000
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:52,439
Speaker 1: in the Oregon State offense, and so you know, I'm thinking, ah,

1001
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 1: you know, a fifty five to twenty four game, um

1002
00:58:57,160 --> 00:59:00,160
Speaker 1: is just what the doctor ordered. But I don't think

1003
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:02,479
Speaker 1: this defense is going to be shutting down cal Poly.

1004
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:05,240
Speaker 1: Cal Poly has played two games against San Diego and

1005
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 1: Weaver State and they've scored seventy six total points um.

1006
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:12,280
Speaker 1: And so you know, I I would put Oregon State's

1007
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 1: defense maybe on the level of a Weaver State if

1008
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:17,800
Speaker 1: I'm being completely honest, Like I know a lot of

1009
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:19,919
Speaker 1: the kids who play it. We were stated and they're

1010
00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 1: they've got a pretty good defense, and I think that

1011
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:24,480
Speaker 1: if you switched it out for what Oregon State had,

1012
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:28,800
Speaker 1: you wouldn't see a difference. So um, I do expect

1013
00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 1: cal Poly to score, but I expect Oregon to literally

1014
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:36,080
Speaker 1: run away with this game. Just feed the beast, give

1015
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 1: the ball to your two star running backs, and don't

1016
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 1: worry about anything else. I tell they agree with you, like,

1017
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:45,280
Speaker 1: just just feed the meter. Stop trying to be tricky,

1018
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:48,080
Speaker 1: stop trying to just win. Just win a game, like

1019
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:51,520
Speaker 1: you have to win a game, and Jamar Jefferson is

1020
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:55,880
Speaker 1: their key to winning a game. Uh. The next game

1021
00:59:55,960 --> 01:00:00,440
Speaker 1: up Ralph Hawaii. The Pack who's already been the Oregon

1022
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:05,200
Speaker 1: State and already be in Arizona, is twenty point dogs.

1023
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:09,920
Speaker 1: They're playing away. They're playing at Washington this week. Washington

1024
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 1: is favored by twenty and a half points. Is there

1025
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 1: anyway I'm well, I got Washington in this game first

1026
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:21,440
Speaker 1: and foremost because Chris Peterson is too good of a

1027
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:25,120
Speaker 1: coach to have watched the Oregon State and Arizona film

1028
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 1: and lose a game to Hawaii. There's zero chance, Like

1029
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 1: I this is my bet the farm. There's no way

1030
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:37,959
Speaker 1: they lose to Hawaii. I would I will oh my lord,

1031
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:41,360
Speaker 1: I will renounce my Pack twelve. Actually, I'll renounce Washington

1032
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 1: for all time, because I will never renounce Oregon. I

1033
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 1: will renounce Washington. I will I will go on record

1034
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:53,440
Speaker 1: begging Hawaii to be a part of the Pack twelve

1035
01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:57,160
Speaker 1: if they win this game. There's no chance they're running back.

1036
01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:01,120
Speaker 1: Situation is too good in terms of a man. He's

1037
01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:04,760
Speaker 1: so explosive Chris Peterson, it might give him fifty carries

1038
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 1: before he loses the game because the Oregon say did

1039
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:11,000
Speaker 1: not run the ball enough. Is particularly in the first half.

1040
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:16,960
Speaker 1: Washington's defense, even though they're going to be stressed and

1041
01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:21,160
Speaker 1: tested by McDonald and his pass and attack. There's no

1042
01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:23,160
Speaker 1: way to lose his game, I hope, no way. And

1043
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:28,000
Speaker 1: this is the freaking Boogeyman at this point, like this

1044
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:30,000
Speaker 1: is the last team in the world that I want

1045
01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:33,160
Speaker 1: to see. I'm so sick of Hawaii right now. Uh,

1046
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:39,520
Speaker 1: I just you know the this is I don't know.

1047
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:43,440
Speaker 1: These are the two states with active volcanoes. That's what

1048
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 1: they have in come in. The talent level at Washington

1049
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:48,480
Speaker 1: is so much higher than it is at Hawaii. But

1050
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 1: those guys are absolutely rolling right now. Um, I just

1051
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:58,440
Speaker 1: I want to say, no, there's absolutely no shock uh

1052
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 1: for Hawaii. But like my confidence in Washington is shook

1053
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:06,640
Speaker 1: after the Cow game last week. But then again, Washington

1054
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:09,080
Speaker 1: is really a team that takes wake up calls really well.

1055
01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 1: Um yeah, I I don't know if I like the spread.

1056
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:15,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if I like to spread. I think

1057
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 1: Hawaii's gonna come into this game really like with nothing

1058
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 1: to lose, because they're already to know there were already

1059
01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:23,280
Speaker 1: two wins ahead of where they thought they'd be at

1060
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:26,160
Speaker 1: this point of the season. I don't see Hawaii going

1061
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:28,840
Speaker 1: in and playing tight at all, or or coming in

1062
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:32,439
Speaker 1: thinking that, like, we need to keep this undefeated street going.

1063
01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:35,479
Speaker 1: We're playing for a national championship. I think they're gonna

1064
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 1: come in and do what they do. They've got two

1065
01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:41,600
Speaker 1: receivers who have over two fifty five yards receiving already,

1066
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 1: so I mean Washington is just going to have to

1067
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:48,920
Speaker 1: find a way to contain those guys on the outside.

1068
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:52,680
Speaker 1: Dare Hawaii to run they won't. And then on offense,

1069
01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:56,320
Speaker 1: they just have to be bullies. Oregon State is not

1070
01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:58,360
Speaker 1: a bully. They could have been in that game and

1071
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:02,280
Speaker 1: they chose not to be. And Arizona is not bullying anyone,

1072
01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:05,960
Speaker 1: you know, They're they're kind of a finesse offense with

1073
01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:07,760
Speaker 1: the ability to be a bully if they wanted to,

1074
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:12,080
Speaker 1: but not the coaching staff to actually execute that game plan.

1075
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:14,760
Speaker 1: And so Washington is not afraid to be a bully,

1076
01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:18,760
Speaker 1: and I think they'll be fine in this game. But God,

1077
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:20,840
Speaker 1: I'm just so sick of Hawaii and I'm m'd be

1078
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:24,640
Speaker 1: very happy to not see them again. Oh, there is

1079
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:28,919
Speaker 1: some news that came off to wire though about Oregon State.

1080
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:34,200
Speaker 1: So they're linebacker Addison Gums, he tours a c L

1081
01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:43,320
Speaker 1: he's out there. Is they have their old lineman la Vasca, Lavaca,

1082
01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:48,480
Speaker 1: um Caleb Hayes each suspended for the first half of

1083
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:54,080
Speaker 1: the cow poly game. Like they don't need any additional

1084
01:03:54,200 --> 01:04:00,480
Speaker 1: players out if you're them. And then also, um there

1085
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:06,040
Speaker 1: they got another line linebacker, Tago Eldridge light and their

1086
01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:09,440
Speaker 1: center Eldridge out a week or two. So this is

1087
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:11,680
Speaker 1: to go back to the Oregon State poly game. This

1088
01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:18,600
Speaker 1: is not necessarily great news for them, um, but to

1089
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:22,800
Speaker 1: but the Washington Hawaii game. Washington wins this game, Ralph,

1090
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:27,000
Speaker 1: I think we're overthinking it. This would be this would

1091
01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:30,120
Speaker 1: be the death blow to the Pack twelve the death

1092
01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:35,800
Speaker 1: blow if they lose this game US National Championship or

1093
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:39,400
Speaker 1: goes to a like a like if Hawaii was to

1094
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:42,000
Speaker 1: go three and against the Pac twelve. The only way

1095
01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 1: that that wouldn't mean like the death of the Pack

1096
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:47,480
Speaker 1: twelve as we know it is if for Hawaii kept

1097
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:50,040
Speaker 1: it rolling like we would all be rooting for Hawaii

1098
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 1: every single week and I don't want that to happen.

1099
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:55,240
Speaker 1: That would be the death blow. They'd be like, hold up,

1100
01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 1: they beat three Pack twelve teams, maybe the Pack twelves

1101
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:03,240
Speaker 1: should be a group of five team Um the Oklahoma

1102
01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:09,000
Speaker 1: Oklahoma hands to u c l A. The most generous line,

1103
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:16,080
Speaker 1: the most generous line of all time is Oklahoma is

1104
01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:21,080
Speaker 1: up their favorite by twenty three and a half points.

1105
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:23,960
Speaker 1: Playing at the Rose Bowl. U c l A is

1106
01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:26,240
Speaker 1: giving away free tickets to their game just to get

1107
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 1: butt to the seats. I okay, bro, this game is

1108
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:40,880
Speaker 1: much like the Idaho State Utah game. There's zero chance

1109
01:05:41,080 --> 01:05:44,800
Speaker 1: U c l A actually wins this game. But hold

1110
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:47,720
Speaker 1: But but the weird thing is, though Ralph, I will

1111
01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:50,320
Speaker 1: I will say this is the weird thing is before

1112
01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:52,240
Speaker 1: the season we were talking about U c l A.

1113
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:57,040
Speaker 1: I had a vision. I was like, watch them lose,

1114
01:05:57,800 --> 01:06:00,160
Speaker 1: because it's been a hot topic amongst me and some

1115
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:03,240
Speaker 1: of my friends because they know I've been higher on

1116
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:05,840
Speaker 1: you U c l A this year. And they were like, dude,

1117
01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:08,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna suck. We're gonna beat them. That's what j R.

1118
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:12,200
Speaker 1: Tolliver said about San Diego State. Everybody was telling me

1119
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:15,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna lose to Cincinnati. And now I had a vision.

1120
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:18,080
Speaker 1: I was like, what if they come out and beat

1121
01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:21,320
Speaker 1: Oklahoma after doing that, Like that would be the most

1122
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:25,880
Speaker 1: chip Kelly thing ever. Lose, lose kind of the start

1123
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:28,720
Speaker 1: of your tenure the bad teams, and then come back

1124
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:32,240
Speaker 1: and knock off a big dog. I like, you c

1125
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:37,520
Speaker 1: l A in this game, to lose, and to lose

1126
01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:39,360
Speaker 1: by more than the twenty three and a half points.

1127
01:06:40,560 --> 01:06:44,680
Speaker 1: I wasn't thinking of anywhere. Oh you you had me

1128
01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:49,240
Speaker 1: there for a second. I was like, what, oh dear, Um,

1129
01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:53,440
Speaker 1: I'll give you c l A. One thing. They'll score

1130
01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:55,360
Speaker 1: more in this game than they did in their previous

1131
01:06:55,440 --> 01:06:58,920
Speaker 1: two Um, and people will take that for progress and

1132
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:02,520
Speaker 1: and they'll see that as sort of a light at

1133
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:05,960
Speaker 1: the end of the tunnel. It's not Um, there's so

1134
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:11,280
Speaker 1: much to deal with with this Oklahoma team, just so much. Uh,

1135
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:16,280
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts his on fire. Jalen Hurts is making me

1136
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:19,480
Speaker 1: look like an idiot. Said that he'd be better in

1137
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:22,720
Speaker 1: a pro style situation where they could run on first down.

1138
01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:25,360
Speaker 1: I believe it. I still like to to this day.

1139
01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:26,919
Speaker 1: I'm like, he's the kind of guy that you would

1140
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:29,360
Speaker 1: want to run on first down, run on second down,

1141
01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:30,960
Speaker 1: and then when you need a big down a third

1142
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:34,320
Speaker 1: down throw like he's got the stones to make it happen. No,

1143
01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:36,280
Speaker 1: it turns out that if you plug him into Lincoln

1144
01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:41,400
Speaker 1: Riley's offense, he's the same as Baker, same as you know,

1145
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:46,080
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. He's just it just I mean, he's already

1146
01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:53,120
Speaker 1: got two yards rushing him three touchdowns. Um, just really

1147
01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:56,360
Speaker 1: hard to stop him. This is gonna feel like Chip

1148
01:07:56,480 --> 01:08:01,000
Speaker 1: Kelly's Yeah, No, that's that's just it it there. Lincoln

1149
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:03,320
Speaker 1: Riley right now has all the magic, all the juice.

1150
01:08:04,120 --> 01:08:07,840
Speaker 1: If if I'm if I play high school football, I

1151
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:10,800
Speaker 1: want to go to Oklahoma, period, like right now. Then

1152
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:12,760
Speaker 1: it was this way for Oregon a few years ago,

1153
01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:15,640
Speaker 1: right like, if you play high school football, like why

1154
01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:18,599
Speaker 1: would you want to do anything other than go to Oregon. Um.

1155
01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:23,440
Speaker 1: And and I feel I feel similarly now to Oklahoma.

1156
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:27,479
Speaker 1: They play in big games. Um. They they play in

1157
01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:31,599
Speaker 1: an exciting conference that allows you to showcase, uh your

1158
01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:34,320
Speaker 1: skill sets there. Especially in the last three years, they're

1159
01:08:34,320 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 1: getting people drafted like crazy, back to back Higgins. They're

1160
01:08:37,320 --> 01:08:40,280
Speaker 1: turning a transfer quarterback who looked like a game manager

1161
01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:45,000
Speaker 1: into somebody who looks like an absolute superstar. Um. The

1162
01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:47,439
Speaker 1: team seems to be focused and kind of stays out

1163
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:51,000
Speaker 1: of trouble. Um. I freaking love this team right now,

1164
01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:54,280
Speaker 1: everything right, Uh, but I do think that they'll give

1165
01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:55,920
Speaker 1: up some points to U c. L A. Yeah. They

1166
01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:58,479
Speaker 1: are they are, they really are. And and I'm not

1167
01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:02,599
Speaker 1: historically in Oklahoma in Um, I don't really. I'm kind

1168
01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:04,519
Speaker 1: of ambivalent. And I really felt one way or the

1169
01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:07,479
Speaker 1: other toward them. Um. You know, I did root pretty

1170
01:09:07,520 --> 01:09:09,680
Speaker 1: hard for Kansas State to blow them up back in

1171
01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:12,680
Speaker 1: the day with Darren Sproles. Um, but that was just

1172
01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:15,479
Speaker 1: because you know, you root for underdogs. Sometimes. This is

1173
01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:17,400
Speaker 1: home the Sooners team. I mean, the fact that the

1174
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:19,080
Speaker 1: fifth in the country right now is is a joke

1175
01:09:19,160 --> 01:09:21,560
Speaker 1: to me. Like I I think that they deserve to

1176
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:23,200
Speaker 1: be in a conversation with Clemson. They deserve to be

1177
01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:26,960
Speaker 1: in the conversation with Alabama. Oh totally. But but to see,

1178
01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:29,120
Speaker 1: that's the problem with the voting, though, Ralph, is that

1179
01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:31,720
Speaker 1: people get stuck in their ways. They're like, oh, well,

1180
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:35,040
Speaker 1: if they don't lose, they don't move move down, regardless

1181
01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:37,720
Speaker 1: of how they look on the field, regardless of their dominance.

1182
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:42,920
Speaker 1: Like I always say, the three criteria quality was, schedule, played,

1183
01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:46,920
Speaker 1: and dominance. That's how you should rank teams. My only

1184
01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:49,360
Speaker 1: concern is they gave up thirty one points to Houston.

1185
01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:54,639
Speaker 1: And after last year when Oklahoma's defense was really bad

1186
01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:56,719
Speaker 1: and Kyler Murray knew he had to put up fifty

1187
01:09:56,760 --> 01:10:00,200
Speaker 1: points a game to win and he did. You know,

1188
01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:04,040
Speaker 1: Like u c l a Has scored fourteen points and

1189
01:10:04,120 --> 01:10:08,080
Speaker 1: fourteen points in this game. If Oklahoma holds them to

1190
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:12,360
Speaker 1: another fourteen points, I'll believe that Oklahoma is a national

1191
01:10:12,479 --> 01:10:17,200
Speaker 1: championship kind of kind of team there. Obviously, see the

1192
01:10:17,320 --> 01:10:20,839
Speaker 1: reason why Oklahoma is gonna cover this spread is because

1193
01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:24,280
Speaker 1: they're going to score fifty points. Probably they're probably gonna

1194
01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:27,240
Speaker 1: score fifty points, and there's no way U c l

1195
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:30,800
Speaker 1: a Is gonna score twenties seven. That's the that's the problem.

1196
01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:34,120
Speaker 1: That's the reason why they cover. It's just it's just

1197
01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:36,559
Speaker 1: a situation. You sel A can't score that many points

1198
01:10:36,840 --> 01:10:39,840
Speaker 1: and Chip Kelly's got to find something new to be

1199
01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:42,320
Speaker 1: able to get this done. And you know, you know,

1200
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:47,040
Speaker 1: you know, these big twelve kids relish the chance to

1201
01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:50,120
Speaker 1: come and play in l A against a much of

1202
01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:53,200
Speaker 1: callie kids and and blow them up like well, they

1203
01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:56,559
Speaker 1: have to the kids on their team too. Unfortunately, that's true.

1204
01:10:57,880 --> 01:10:59,760
Speaker 1: They got quite a few. Yeah. Yeah, this is a

1205
01:10:59,800 --> 01:11:02,080
Speaker 1: home game. Yeah, this is the home coming for a

1206
01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:04,479
Speaker 1: lot of these Oklahoma kids, for a lot of these

1207
01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:07,720
Speaker 1: top kids who keep vacating the conference to go to

1208
01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:11,559
Speaker 1: Oklahoma and go to other conferences. They're gonna have tons

1209
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:16,120
Speaker 1: of fans there. Um next game up right, So then

1210
01:11:16,200 --> 01:11:17,920
Speaker 1: and then you run into the thing of them being

1211
01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:22,599
Speaker 1: more motivated than me. No way they take this week

1212
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:24,800
Speaker 1: away that they u c l A. It's just it's

1213
01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:28,560
Speaker 1: a recipe for a blowout. Yep, yep. They want to

1214
01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:30,640
Speaker 1: show up for the ex girlfriend, the girl that they

1215
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 1: want to talk to when they get home in the wintertime.

1216
01:11:33,439 --> 01:11:37,679
Speaker 1: UM Texas Tech at Arizona. This is a night game.

1217
01:11:38,280 --> 01:11:42,200
Speaker 1: Arizona is dangerous at night at home Texas Tech. This

1218
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:45,720
Speaker 1: is not Cliff Kingsbury's Texas Tech. Even though they did

1219
01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:50,439
Speaker 1: start the season off two and oh uh, they beat

1220
01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:54,360
Speaker 1: Middle Tennessee State and U TEP and they only gave

1221
01:11:54,439 --> 01:11:59,320
Speaker 1: up thirteen points. Their defense is better than it was

1222
01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:04,599
Speaker 1: last year under Cliff Kingsbury. If I am Kevin Sumlin,

1223
01:12:05,439 --> 01:12:08,640
Speaker 1: I am looking at this game, which Texas Tech his

1224
01:12:08,680 --> 01:12:11,560
Speaker 1: favorite by two and a half points. I want to

1225
01:12:11,880 --> 01:12:18,920
Speaker 1: pick Arizona. However, they have not just just run the

1226
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:23,519
Speaker 1: ball down people's throat with Khalil Tate since Mike tom

1227
01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:28,280
Speaker 1: I'm Tomlin, since Kevin Sumlin got there, I think that

1228
01:12:28,439 --> 01:12:30,880
Speaker 1: that's the death blow to him. That bowman is gonna

1229
01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:34,400
Speaker 1: throw the ball because the Arizona's defense is Swiss cheese.

1230
01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:39,599
Speaker 1: And if they don't unleached Khalil Tate the seventeen Khalil

1231
01:12:39,680 --> 01:12:44,600
Speaker 1: Tate where he's rushing for two hundred fifty yards and

1232
01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:48,599
Speaker 1: throwing for another two d fifty, Arizona loses this game.

1233
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:52,200
Speaker 1: And I hate to say it, Ralph, they should win

1234
01:12:52,320 --> 01:12:55,880
Speaker 1: this game. But Arizona, the way that they've been coached,

1235
01:12:56,040 --> 01:13:00,439
Speaker 1: is gonna lose this game. Yeah, There's a really interesting

1236
01:13:00,520 --> 01:13:02,479
Speaker 1: wrinkle in this game that a whole lot of people

1237
01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:05,919
Speaker 1: might not know about, and it's that Texas Texas defensive

1238
01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:09,880
Speaker 1: coordinator Keith Patterson was a s US defensive coordinator from

1239
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:13,439
Speaker 1: two thousand four through two thousand and seventeen. But he

1240
01:13:13,640 --> 01:13:17,400
Speaker 1: was the defensive coordinator like in name only. Like. Keith

1241
01:13:17,439 --> 01:13:22,960
Speaker 1: Patterson was Todd Graham's like college roommate. Uh. They they

1242
01:13:23,240 --> 01:13:27,320
Speaker 1: coached together at Alan High School. They moved up, Graham

1243
01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:30,519
Speaker 1: moved him up to help coach at Tulsa. He took

1244
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:33,200
Speaker 1: over that one game at Pittsburgh when Todd Graham left

1245
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:36,840
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh High and Drive. Uh. Keith Patterson coached the Bowl

1246
01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:40,800
Speaker 1: and then UM and then came over to Arizona State

1247
01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:43,479
Speaker 1: to serve as defensive coordinator for Todd Graham. But here's

1248
01:13:43,479 --> 01:13:46,439
Speaker 1: the deal. Patterson was DC and name only, Todd Graham

1249
01:13:46,439 --> 01:13:48,639
Speaker 1: would call the plays when a s U S defense

1250
01:13:48,720 --> 01:13:51,280
Speaker 1: went off the rails. It's because Todd Graham would change

1251
01:13:51,360 --> 01:13:54,439
Speaker 1: plays as they were going out onto the onto the field.

1252
01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:58,960
Speaker 1: They eventually replaced Keith Patterson because he was the fall

1253
01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:01,160
Speaker 1: guy for how bad a s U S defense. God,

1254
01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:05,000
Speaker 1: so he has motivated as hell Keith Patterson wants to

1255
01:14:05,080 --> 01:14:07,840
Speaker 1: show that none of this was ever his fault. He

1256
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:10,200
Speaker 1: went to Utah State last year, he had the co

1257
01:14:10,320 --> 01:14:13,400
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator roll out there. They were good enough that

1258
01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:16,040
Speaker 1: whole coaching staff was good enough to then move on

1259
01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:19,120
Speaker 1: to to Texas Tech. So Matt Wells and that whole

1260
01:14:19,200 --> 01:14:21,800
Speaker 1: staff moved to Texas Tech, and Matt Wells thinks that

1261
01:14:21,880 --> 01:14:25,080
Speaker 1: Keith Patterson's good enough to have him as his defensive coordinator.

1262
01:14:25,360 --> 01:14:28,360
Speaker 1: Keith Patterson knows the University of Arizona and its players

1263
01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:31,600
Speaker 1: as well as anyone. He's super motivated to show that

1264
01:14:31,680 --> 01:14:34,960
Speaker 1: he can call a good defensive game. The one of

1265
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:36,760
Speaker 1: the main reasons that I like Texas Tech in this

1266
01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:40,600
Speaker 1: game is it's just that, like it's an opportunity for

1267
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:44,040
Speaker 1: Keith Patterson to prove that he was never a bad

1268
01:14:44,160 --> 01:14:47,200
Speaker 1: DC at a s U against a s us hated rival.

1269
01:14:47,680 --> 01:14:51,719
Speaker 1: So there's that extra behind the scenes motivation for Texas Tech. Plus,

1270
01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:55,120
Speaker 1: Arizona can't stop anyone anyway, So if if if Texas

1271
01:14:55,160 --> 01:14:57,720
Speaker 1: Tech is running their offense the way that they know how,

1272
01:14:58,280 --> 01:15:01,080
Speaker 1: this could be a big album for Arizona. I do

1273
01:15:01,200 --> 01:15:03,280
Speaker 1: not believe that they will win this game at the

1274
01:15:03,320 --> 01:15:07,720
Speaker 1: same time, I think that Coltate looks good. I think

1275
01:15:07,720 --> 01:15:09,880
Speaker 1: that he looks good in this game. I think that, um,

1276
01:15:11,080 --> 01:15:13,719
Speaker 1: the more that coil Tate looks good and this team loses,

1277
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:16,639
Speaker 1: the more pressure false to Kevin someone in that coaching staff.

1278
01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:22,840
Speaker 1: Oh for sure, for sure. The Okay, So when you

1279
01:15:22,920 --> 01:15:27,000
Speaker 1: look at this Arizona team in the last when going

1280
01:15:27,200 --> 01:15:31,360
Speaker 1: back to last season, going back to last season, there

1281
01:15:31,439 --> 01:15:35,080
Speaker 1: are only there is like I think it's less than

1282
01:15:35,240 --> 01:15:40,479
Speaker 1: five games where they haven't given up at least points,

1283
01:15:40,960 --> 01:15:45,479
Speaker 1: only five games in the last in their last like

1284
01:15:46,320 --> 01:15:49,639
Speaker 1: fifteen games that they haven't given up at least twenty

1285
01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:56,439
Speaker 1: eight points at least, and and there's only one more

1286
01:15:56,520 --> 01:15:58,840
Speaker 1: game that they haven't at least given up thirty points.

1287
01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:03,320
Speaker 1: This deep fence is atrocious. Is not getting any better.

1288
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:08,800
Speaker 1: And I think Kevin, Kevin Sumlin after this season is

1289
01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:12,080
Speaker 1: going to be on well as the season starts to close,

1290
01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:16,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna be on the hot seat because you can't

1291
01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:18,519
Speaker 1: figure out a way to win with a guy's athletic

1292
01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:21,560
Speaker 1: as Cliltate. It's it's a problem. I think that you

1293
01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:24,120
Speaker 1: can see a change after the scheme. I think that

1294
01:16:24,320 --> 01:16:26,880
Speaker 1: not not at the top, not at the top. But

1295
01:16:27,560 --> 01:16:31,599
Speaker 1: Kevin someone inherited Marcel Yates, who came over from had

1296
01:16:31,640 --> 01:16:35,360
Speaker 1: a great career in Boise State as their defensive coordinator.

1297
01:16:35,720 --> 01:16:39,680
Speaker 1: He came to Arizona. They haven't improved. And this year

1298
01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:42,200
Speaker 1: they did the whole thing where they interviewed you hate

1299
01:16:42,240 --> 01:16:44,760
Speaker 1: to see this. They interviewed the players about whether or

1300
01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:48,880
Speaker 1: not their their position coach should lose his job. So like,

1301
01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:52,759
Speaker 1: it's already hot seat sitting for Marcella Yates and again

1302
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:59,640
Speaker 1: Kevin someone inherited him. Okay, so this could be this

1303
01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:04,479
Speaker 1: could be a huge, huge, huge thing, um, And I'm

1304
01:17:04,520 --> 01:17:07,360
Speaker 1: calling it now. If they get blown up by Texas Tech,

1305
01:17:07,960 --> 01:17:10,240
Speaker 1: I could see a change being made at the defensive

1306
01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:14,400
Speaker 1: coordinator position for the University of Arizona. They've got some

1307
01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:17,280
Speaker 1: talented guys who were good recruiters who were already on

1308
01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:20,320
Speaker 1: staff there, like Demetris Martin who came over from from

1309
01:17:20,439 --> 01:17:23,200
Speaker 1: u c l A. You can maybe see somebody elevated, um.

1310
01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:25,839
Speaker 1: But this is year three and like you, you pointed

1311
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:28,519
Speaker 1: out all of the reasons why it would be very,

1312
01:17:28,640 --> 01:17:31,479
Speaker 1: very possible. And Marcel Yates has been like he's had

1313
01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:33,200
Speaker 1: his name in the news for other stuff that you

1314
01:17:33,280 --> 01:17:37,200
Speaker 1: don't want to see so I mean, if they get

1315
01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:40,000
Speaker 1: blown out by Texas Tech, I would be pretty comfortable

1316
01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:45,439
Speaker 1: saying that Marcella Yates to be on a short lease. Okay,

1317
01:17:45,680 --> 01:17:48,800
Speaker 1: I agree with that. Last game of the day, the

1318
01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:52,320
Speaker 1: night game, the nightcap, the game everybody has been waiting on,

1319
01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:56,040
Speaker 1: the game. Everybody wants to see, the game we've been

1320
01:17:56,160 --> 01:17:59,840
Speaker 1: dreaming about, the matchup of the century, the team we

1321
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:04,719
Speaker 1: all want to watch, the Oregon Ducks. Montana rolls into

1322
01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:09,360
Speaker 1: Austin Stadium to play the number fifteen Oregon Ducks. There's

1323
01:18:09,400 --> 01:18:12,320
Speaker 1: not a line on this game. Oregon was favored by

1324
01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:16,640
Speaker 1: twenty three points against Nevada. They scored seventies seven, They

1325
01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:19,800
Speaker 1: won seventies seven and six. This is one of those

1326
01:18:19,880 --> 01:18:23,240
Speaker 1: games where they're probably if there is a line out there,

1327
01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:29,479
Speaker 1: it's probably and they should cover. Aren't you gonna watch

1328
01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:33,320
Speaker 1: this game from start to finish? Ralph yep? I will

1329
01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:36,160
Speaker 1: be watching this game, um, because you know Oregon is

1330
01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:38,280
Speaker 1: gonna beat the snot out of Montana. I have no

1331
01:18:38,360 --> 01:18:40,400
Speaker 1: doubt in my mind about that. But the reason that

1332
01:18:40,479 --> 01:18:43,960
Speaker 1: Pack twelve fans should watch this game is because every

1333
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:47,080
Speaker 1: single year the Big Sky donates a quarterback to the

1334
01:18:47,120 --> 01:18:51,960
Speaker 1: Pact one every year, Right, Dalton Sneed is Dalton Sneed

1335
01:18:52,080 --> 01:18:54,439
Speaker 1: is that guy. Dalton Sneed is the guy that we

1336
01:18:54,479 --> 01:18:58,040
Speaker 1: should be watching out for because he is an absolute

1337
01:18:58,120 --> 01:19:02,160
Speaker 1: offensive superstar. He's elect trick. He went to Horizon High

1338
01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:04,400
Speaker 1: School out here in Arizona, where he was like a

1339
01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:07,000
Speaker 1: big time dual threat player. He went to you UNLV,

1340
01:19:07,160 --> 01:19:09,840
Speaker 1: started as a true freshman, lost his job, went to

1341
01:19:09,960 --> 01:19:13,640
Speaker 1: Fort Scott Community College, and now has rebounded at Montana

1342
01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:16,240
Speaker 1: one big Sky Newcomer of the Year last year and

1343
01:19:16,360 --> 01:19:18,800
Speaker 1: this year opened up with a huge performance. And so

1344
01:19:19,439 --> 01:19:21,120
Speaker 1: I think he's the guy that you need to look

1345
01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:24,200
Speaker 1: out for um as possibly be in the next pack

1346
01:19:24,280 --> 01:19:29,120
Speaker 1: twelve grad transfer. Yeah, I don't think there's much to

1347
01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:32,439
Speaker 1: talk about in terms of Oregon in this game. The

1348
01:19:32,560 --> 01:19:35,799
Speaker 1: main thing is they need to stay healthy. They cannot

1349
01:19:35,880 --> 01:19:41,400
Speaker 1: have injuries at a quarterback wide receiver especially. They may

1350
01:19:41,479 --> 01:19:45,639
Speaker 1: get Jawan Johnson, independent state transfer back who which would

1351
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:47,920
Speaker 1: be a big boost to get him some playing time

1352
01:19:48,040 --> 01:19:51,960
Speaker 1: with Herbert before the season starts, because they need to mess.

1353
01:19:52,240 --> 01:19:55,599
Speaker 1: They need to go and their back c J. Verdale

1354
01:19:55,720 --> 01:19:59,000
Speaker 1: and I need to have a big game. They they do.

1355
01:19:59,160 --> 01:20:03,320
Speaker 1: They miss a lot of holes sometimes, but they're decent

1356
01:20:03,479 --> 01:20:06,080
Speaker 1: running backs, but they haven't proven to be great running

1357
01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:08,600
Speaker 1: backs yet. And this is that type of game to

1358
01:20:08,640 --> 01:20:11,400
Speaker 1: where they can have patients and not be pressing, and

1359
01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:13,840
Speaker 1: you need to see it. The passing game needs to

1360
01:20:13,840 --> 01:20:16,960
Speaker 1: continue to be aggressive and this defense needs to not

1361
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:21,320
Speaker 1: let up. They need to keep just just just just

1362
01:20:21,640 --> 01:20:24,840
Speaker 1: hurting people because this is team looks like the most

1363
01:20:24,960 --> 01:20:28,000
Speaker 1: physical Oregon team I've seen in fifteen years. You guys,

1364
01:20:28,280 --> 01:20:31,840
Speaker 1: uh yes. This wraps up this episode the Week three
