Review Big Bets on campus where 59 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 2: we listen to podcast. We have our own exclusive channel. Now, 60 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 2: happy that you're here, Happy that the season is officially 61 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 2: in gear, this college football season. So let's let's get 62 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 2: right into it. I guess, first question, anything of note 63 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 2: or one key takeaway that you just it could be 64 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 2: a rant, could be anything you want of after week zero. 65 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 4: Well, I mean you talked to me off the ledge 66 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 4: from UCLA win in the national championship, So I guess 67 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 4: I gotta give you shit about that, because let's just 68 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 4: crown them right now right that It does worry me 69 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 4: a little bit that everybody's now on usay a bandwagon. 70 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 4: Obviously in the market with the number moving, you couldn't 71 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 4: have looked as more fantastic as what they did against 72 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 4: Hawaii team that you and I said, Bill Graham is 73 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 4: calling the plays for, you know, for for Todd Graham 74 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 4: made Chevan Cordero look less efficient. And now we've got 75 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 4: a team in LSU that's been displaced three days of practicing, 76 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 4: Houston coming in town. So you know, there's a that's 77 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 4: such a huge game here and we'll see if coach 78 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 4: O can keep all of the emotions and the focus 79 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 4: on the game. But as far as week zero goes, 80 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 4: UTEP was explosive. I think that's something that you and 81 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 4: I need to continue to look for. Now we get 82 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 4: a week off from you know, betting on utub as 83 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 4: far as you know, FBS play goes. But UTEP having 84 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,559 Speaker 4: an explosive game in the special in the first half 85 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 4: was something that didn't surprise me whatsoever. Illinois already having 86 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 4: an identity didn't surprise me whatsoever, because that's what Brett 87 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 4: Beeliman does. He has a ceiling. It's just he is 88 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 4: very good at creating an identity and getting the team 89 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 4: to buy into that. So I think it's good that 90 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 4: a lot of the things that you and I were 91 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 4: so successful with twenty fourteen through twenty nineteen, some of 92 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 4: the things that you and I relied on from a 93 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 4: handicapping standpoint to give us indicators on what to bet. 94 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 4: It feels like those of return the cloudness and the 95 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 4: craziness of the COVID nineteen twenty college football era seems 96 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 4: to be over with and you can rely back on 97 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 4: old things that got you to cash tickets at the window, 98 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 4: like you can start leaning on some of those things again, 99 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 4: actual data and statistics and paying attention to what's in 100 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 4: the news releases instead of hiding injuries and all that. 101 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 4: So I think my big takeaway from week zero is 102 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 4: we're back in the saddle when it comes to the 103 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 4: way that you and I have handicapped for decades, and 104 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 4: as far as it leading us to winners. 105 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 2: Look, we're still gonna be gathering data and adjusting for priors. 106 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 2: It's only you know, it's only a couple of games. 107 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 2: I wish I wasn't as hesitant as I was. You know, 108 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 2: I played that under I loved UTEP. I didn't end 109 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 2: up betting them. I should have a couple second half spots. 110 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 2: I have a piece on Action network dot Com in 111 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 2: the Action Network cap about some look ahead spots mainly 112 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 2: for second half place. So it's suggesting like Hawaii second half, 113 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,359 Speaker 2: Southern Utah second half, thinking that San Jose State and 114 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 2: UCLA with big games on deck, would kind of just 115 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 2: go ultra conservative. But I was mainly mad. I didn't look. 116 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 2: I'll push back on you. We don't know if UTEP 117 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 2: is exposed to yet. We just know New Mexico State 118 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 2: the stinks. 119 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 3: The New Mexico State Aggies the worst team in college football. 120 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 2: I mean, so we don't know. They didn't show promise, 121 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 2: but that could just be that New Mexico State is 122 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 2: that bad. But Nebraska yikes, I mean, talk about a 123 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 2: sour start to the season. 124 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 4: Well, you know, I Scott Fross is obviously still going 125 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 4: to be the coach, and I pressed Brett on our 126 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 4: New Sources podcast just the other day, will he be 127 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 4: the coach through the OU game? His answer was definitively yes. 128 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 4: Will he be the coach at the end of the year. 129 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 4: His answer was definitively no, he won't be. And so 130 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 4: what is this a loss season? Are we going to 131 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 4: accept a bowl invite? If you know, we take a 132 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,239 Speaker 4: what are we going to be against Fordham here this weekend? 133 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 4: I mean, you have to have a response. So we'll 134 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 4: see if Adrian Martinez can pull off a clean box 135 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 4: score against Fordham in a spot where I mean, I 136 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 4: don't know, I don't know what's going to happen in 137 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 4: Lincoln If they don't cover whatever projected spread, this is 138 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 4: going to be and they don't do something for the 139 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 4: fan base. 140 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 2: There, good point, All right, let's move on to some 141 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 2: actual games. Let's start with an old, an old but 142 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 2: classic segment, look Ahead or look. 143 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 3: Away, Hangovers, sleepers and the dreaded sandwich spot. Is it 144 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 3: time to look ahead or look away? 145 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 2: All right? So this segment, we just look at a 146 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 2: couple of games each week and decide, you know, basically 147 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 2: it comes down to our number. And you can find 148 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 2: all of our projected spreads on the Action Network app. 149 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 2: But we look, you know, like I just mentioned with UCLA, 150 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 2: with San Jose State, they have big games on deck, 151 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 2: they don't want to show too much in the second half, 152 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 2: you kind of take your foot off the gas. So 153 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 2: we really look at the week after. And you know, 154 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 2: sometimes teams are college kids can get caught looking ahead, 155 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 2: lack of focus. Coaches might be preparing a little bit 156 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 2: less and looking ahead themselves. So three games kind of 157 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 2: stuck out in that sense this week. Yeah, we'll start 158 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 2: with two of them. Oregon minus twenty and a half 159 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 2: against Fresno State at wind Bet and BYU up to 160 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 2: twelve and a half point favorites at Arizona. Notable here 161 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 2: Oregon plays Ohio State next week. So the thinking, you know, 162 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 2: I'm gonna be looking at Fresno competent team, I think 163 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 2: maybe a little undervalued in the market. I'm gonna be 164 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 2: looking at Fresno myself. Second half here thinking, you know, 165 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 2: if Oregon builds a comfortable lead by halftime, why should 166 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 2: you know that they have national title aspirations? 167 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 4: Right? 168 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 2: As a team that believes they can go to the 169 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 2: national title, what do they have to do to do that? 170 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 2: They gotta beat Ohio State? Are you gonna win at 171 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 2: Ohio State next week? And so why show anything if 172 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 2: you build and why risk any health if you have 173 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 2: a really big, comfortable lead. I think that they're gonna 174 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 2: go very conservative, get out healthy, get Anthony Brown out 175 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 2: of there. So I'll be looking at Fresno second half. 176 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 2: BYU has Utah the Holy War on deck. They're playing 177 00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 2: Arizona and Arizona team with a brand new staff, a mess, 178 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 2: just an absolute mess of the year last year. The 179 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 2: one thing that they have a couple things they have 180 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 2: worked for them. I mean, Zach Wilson's gone from BYU, 181 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,119 Speaker 2: which is which is good record setting quarterback for that program. 182 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 2: Who in the first round of the NFL Draft. B 183 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 2: YU has Utah on deck, So maybe they're not taking 184 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 2: this as serious. And Arizona does have the advantage of 185 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 2: the unknown, right, like, what are we gonna see they? 186 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 2: You know, are they gonna pull It's their first game, 187 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 2: we have a new new regime. Are they gonna pull 188 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 2: out all the stops? So they you know, some trick plays, 189 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 2: So it's a fresh new start. I'm sure they'll be 190 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 2: hyped for it. I just don't know if I trust 191 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 2: the roster either of But I can see b YU 192 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 2: if they have a huge lead going shut it down. 193 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 2: We have Utah on deck. Let's go very conservative. So 194 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 2: depending on how the games go, depending on how both 195 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 2: Fresno and Arizona look and how big the leads or 196 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 2: deficits for those teams are, I will at least monitor 197 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 2: and look for second and a half play for both. You 198 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 2: see anything in either of those two games. 199 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 4: Well, definitely something in the organ Fresno game. I think 200 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 4: this is you know, I've been chopping at the bit 201 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 4: for months to just kind of fade this Oregon team 202 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 4: and this is such a great spot with a look 203 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 4: ahead over Ohio State. And if you listen to anybody 204 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 4: around Eugene, I mean literally just a week and a 205 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 4: half ago, I was in town, drove by and you know, 206 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 4: took my wife to the stadium and showed her around 207 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 4: and ate there on campus before we went and golfed 208 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 4: abandoned dunes and everybody thinks Oregon can win the national championship. 209 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 4: I felt like I was the only person in town 210 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 4: that didn't believe that they could win a national championship. 211 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 4: And I love Fresno State. Now, I did not cash 212 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 4: the over sixty two and a half in the Fresno Yukon, 213 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,839 Speaker 4: but that was not Fresno State's fault. I mean, did 214 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 4: I mention it's hot. 215 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 2: It's not just a little bit hot. It is so hot, 216 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 2: you guys. 217 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 5: Presno State has a contingency plan in place in case 218 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 5: their players' shoes melt on this turf, because that's something 219 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 5: that they've seen happen before. In fact, they brought extra 220 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 5: shoes in every size and they have them on the 221 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 5: sideline there just in case that happened. 222 00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 4: Cleats were melting. Yukon couldn't get past the fifty. Was 223 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 4: a really embarrassing show for the Huskies. But Ronnie Rivers 224 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 4: and Jake Hayner are a force to be reckoned with. Now, 225 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 4: I'm going to say the same thing about Fresno State 226 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 4: that I'm gonna say about UCLA. I know they basically 227 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 4: had a glorified scrimmage, but if I can get Fresno 228 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 4: State at twenty one and a half, I'd certainly think 229 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 4: this is a bye because I project this to be 230 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 4: just a little bit over fourteen. Oregon terrorizes quarterbacks, you know, 231 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 4: they just have issues with teams that can run the ball. 232 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 4: The Ducks finished ninety first defensive rushing success rate last year. 233 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 4: And the key name here is Matt Smith. He had 234 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,959 Speaker 4: fourier and sixty six snaps at center last year for Fresno, 235 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 4: and he took all the first half snaps against Yukon. 236 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 4: Ronnie Rivers is one of the best dual threat running 237 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 4: backs in the nation. He had sixteen yard run over 238 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 4: the center. He had a fourteen yard run against Yukon 239 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 4: over the left guard in the center. There were explosive 240 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 4: plays that went up the gut, and to me, that 241 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,439 Speaker 4: is Kaylin de Boor tipping his hand a little bit 242 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 4: saying we know that Oregon can attack us in passing 243 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 4: downs in known passing situation with our edge rushers and 244 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 4: came on Thibodeau and get to the quarterback. But with 245 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 4: the way they use Ronnie Rivers and Jake Hayner, it 246 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 4: looks like, you know, a little zone play, a little 247 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 4: dump off, a little shift of the pocket. They're going 248 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 4: to attack the middle of this Oregon defense, which is 249 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 4: a perfect place to get him because they've never been 250 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 4: able to stop the rush. Rivers has already created seven 251 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 4: miss tackles on just fourteen rushing attempts. He gained forty 252 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 4: seven yaks on just two catches. I mean, he's the 253 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 4: ultimate dual threat that Oregon's gonna have to deal with now, 254 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 4: Tim de Ruder, there is history here. Tim de Ruter, 255 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 4: former head coach of Fresno State. He was asking his 256 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 4: press conference this week about the defense about Fresno State, 257 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 4: is time there, and he started off, well, the middle 258 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 4: of my defense needs to show up. Darius has a 259 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 4: chance to be a good player, Popo has the ability 260 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,839 Speaker 4: to be a good player. But the middle of our 261 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 4: defense is where we need to show up. So Tim 262 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 4: de Ruter is already admitting that he knows that Ronnie 263 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,839 Speaker 4: Rivers and Jake Haner are coming straight up the gut. 264 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 4: If you look at Hayter, he left the field with 265 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,319 Speaker 4: one hundred and twenty degree tempts on the field. I 266 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 4: think they showed that thermometer every two seconds. He had 267 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 4: three tds, one big time throw three hundred and thirty 268 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 4: one yards. Really some great production, glorified scrimmage against Yukon. 269 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 4: But it's notable that on twenty of twenty six passing 270 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 4: of the five of those six incompletions were flat out 271 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 4: wide receiver drops. So Hayner's accuracy was on point. Now, 272 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,439 Speaker 4: Hayterer didn't play in Austin Stadium while he was at Washington, 273 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 4: but wide receiver Ti Jones did in twenty eighteen. He 274 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 4: hauled in an explosive pass and a touchdown. So at 275 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 4: least there's some locker room there for Fresno State with 276 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 4: a key player, a key target that has been in 277 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 4: that stadium and been the opponent before. And you know, 278 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,559 Speaker 4: Fresno's defense was pretty impressive again, Yukon glorified scrimmage ten 279 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 4: tackles for loss for forty one yards, pushed him back. 280 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 4: They held Yukon to one hundred and seven yards. Even 281 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 4: through garbage second half play where Fresno essentially punted the 282 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 4: points away, stopped one of their cleats to get melted, 283 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,319 Speaker 4: threw in some walk off on defense, they still only 284 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 4: allowed one hundred and seven yards. So, and I know 285 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 4: yu Kon hasn't played since the pandemic, but the Ducks 286 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,319 Speaker 4: defense will have a little bit of a wrinkle for 287 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 4: moving on from Andy Avlos into Tim de Ruder, and 288 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 4: that is that caveon Thibodeau is going to be standing 289 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 4: up and setting his hand down. We'll see how Thibodeau 290 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 4: reacts if he still has the same jump time that 291 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 4: he's had before. That's really got him projected to go 292 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 4: possibly number one in the NFL draft, but they asked 293 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 4: Tim de Ruder specifically. I think the point that I 294 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 4: wanted to get to is that Tim de Ruder was 295 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 4: the head coach twenty twelve to twenty sixteen, and even 296 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 4: in his time at Cal, he knew Kaylen de boor. 297 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 4: He knows Kaylen de Bor very well. Said he's not 298 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 4: shocked at all what's going on at Fresno. Is such 299 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 4: a great coach from a personality perspective, from a skime perspective, 300 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 4: does his homework and Rudo said. De Ruder said, on 301 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 4: his time in Fresno, there are some very close personal 302 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 4: feelings my wife and my family. We had a great 303 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 4: time in Fresno. They were just very fond. So in 304 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 4: my opinion, this is not a game they want to 305 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 4: run up. We talked about Anthony Brown having a ceiling. 306 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 4: This is a look ahead spot. But Tim Ruder doesn't 307 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 4: have any harsh feelings where he's you know this is 308 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 4: they're they're cramming this week to shut down this Fresno 309 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 4: State attack. I guarantee the whole focus is on Ohio 310 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 4: State and Klein de Bor is just sitting back with 311 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 4: this dual threat. Ronnie Rivers Jay Hayner combination, and I 312 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 4: think they can do a ton of damage here. I 313 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 4: don't want to wait for a live play. I'm going 314 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 4: to search for twenty one and a half. If I 315 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 4: have to settle on twenty one, I will Fresno for me. 316 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 4: Is the play go Bulldogs? 317 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is worth thirty. Teams that don't play in 318 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 2: Week zero have an advantage historically against teams that do. 319 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 2: Janets have fifty five percent against this preedhistorical. The thinking 320 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 2: there is that they have a tape advantage. But it's 321 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 2: not like you saw anything that's crazy from Fresno against Yukon. 322 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 2: Also Yukon, that is one data point. It's only one, right, 323 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 2: It wasn't too promising for teams that didn't play last year. 324 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 2: What they look like? Well, you have New Mexico State too, 325 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 2: but they played in the spring at least, But man, 326 00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 2: did they both look bad? Any interest in maybe abating 327 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 2: Arizona or do we. 328 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 4: Think that Arizona played a season last year? We are 329 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 4: we including them as having actual real game time? 330 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 2: Sure? 331 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 4: So, I think what's interesting with BYU in Arizona is 332 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 4: that this exact same scenario has played out before in 333 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 4: twenty sixteen, Arizona was Week one, BYU was minus one 334 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 4: and a half on the spread with Utah in the get. 335 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 4: In the next game, in the second game, final score 336 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 4: eighteen to sixteen, BYU covered the one and a half. Now, 337 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 4: interesting enough, this is the third time these teams have 338 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 4: met where BYU has a new offensive coordinator under the 339 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 4: Klonie Satake era, which is quite interesting. So BYU is 340 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 4: again facing Arizona and starting off with a new offensive 341 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 4: coordinator for the third time. They've won and covered each 342 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 4: time that that's happened, And so you have to wonder, 343 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 4: like where researching I don't know how much research you 344 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 4: did on Arizona, but trying to get what Jedfish is 345 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 4: going to do on this offense was like pulling teeth. 346 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 4: And the offensive coordinator that's never called plays before in 347 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 4: his life and Jedfish and all of his NFL experience, 348 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 4: it seems like we're having a two quarterback system. We've 349 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 4: got the transfer coming in, Gunner Cruz coming in from 350 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 4: Washington State. They're going to run a version of the Wildcat. 351 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 4: You know, it's really hard to tell from some of 352 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 4: these NFL numbers, you know, because Jedfish was at predominantly 353 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 4: New England Patriots heavy rush attack. Before that, his offensive 354 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 4: coordinator Carol was at the Seahawks. They were heavy rush 355 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 4: three years ago and now they've really lightened up in 356 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 4: the NFL. So we you know, from what I could get, 357 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 4: there's going to be a rotation of quarterbacks from gunner 358 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,360 Speaker 4: Cruz and freshman Will Plumber, and Sataki announced Jaron Hall 359 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 4: at quarterback. And there really is going to be no 360 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 4: scheme change with new offensive coordinator Aaron Roderick, Jeff Grimes 361 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 4: out of town down to Baylor. You know, Roderick has 362 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 4: been on this staff since twenty seventeen. But to be 363 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 4: more specific about his relationship with Sataki, he has spent 364 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 4: his previous twelve years at Utah alongside Sataki. So there's 365 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 4: no offensive change here whatsoever. So what Jaron Hall has 366 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 4: done before, it's going to happen again. The first half 367 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 4: under for me is the look now, I know it's 368 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 4: in Allegiant Stadium, you know, and it's just the Arizona 369 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 4: rotation of quarterbacks, the possibility of the wildcat and not 370 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 4: a lot of passing going on BYU is moving on 371 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 4: to Jaron Hall. They probably want to limit some of 372 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 4: his risk and exposure and build confidence in him. In 373 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,439 Speaker 4: twenty nineteen, he had a couple of head injuries, but 374 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 4: he did have three big time throws and forty six attempts. 375 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 4: So the arm is there. The experience is not. There's 376 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 4: no side play for me. But this is just you know, 377 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 4: we had a lot of unders last week stuck. I 378 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 4: felt like every game went under and every first half 379 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 4: went under, and I wish this was out in the heat. 380 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 4: It's not. But at the same time, I just feel 381 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 4: we have and a very I'm not sure if Arizona 382 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 4: knows what they're doing on offense, and I think they're 383 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 4: going to figure it out from series to series. Meanwhile, 384 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 4: Byu is going to keep the same scheme, have a 385 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 4: new quarterback. So first half under is the lean near. 386 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll be looking. It's hard to know what you're 387 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 2: gonna get from Arizona. Yeah, I'll be looking for a 388 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 2: second app play there. And yeah, I think if you 389 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 2: do get three touchdowns, especially more than three touchdowns with Fresno, 390 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 2: that's the look. I'll also be looking for a second 391 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 2: app play. The last one we have here is guess 392 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 2: what we get the dude now, Colin on the Hogs. 393 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 2: Arkansas at winbat nineteen and a half point favorites over 394 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 2: Rice over under forty nine and a half. Arkansas has 395 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 2: a home date with Texas on deck. Are your hogs 396 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 2: gonna get caught snoozing in the sun, the hot Arkansas sun? 397 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 2: Are they gonna come out, take care of business, keep 398 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 2: the foot on the gas and blow out an improving 399 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 2: Rice program they might have. I think they's seventh. It 400 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 2: depends they have. I think that Rice has dual starters 401 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 2: listening at quarterback, either Miley Green, who started in twenty nineteen, 402 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 2: or Luke McCaffrey, transferred from Nebraska. If McCaffrey gets to start, 403 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 2: will be the seventh different starting quarterback to open the 404 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 2: season for Rice in the past seven years. I'll let 405 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 2: you take this away. Any thoughts on your hogs? 406 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 3: Woo pick Sueye Collins talking razorback football. 407 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Wiley made us some money a couple 408 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 4: of years ago. You know, on your toes Razorbacks to 409 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 4: the finished. Carry on with all your mighty Arkansas and 410 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 4: I'll fight fight, buyye listen, I'm excited. The season to 411 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,479 Speaker 4: me is a continuation of last season. Yes, we went 412 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 4: three and seven, we had a game stolen from US 413 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 4: against Auburn, but in an all. 414 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,360 Speaker 2: Season next season, the full effect. 415 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 4: In an all SEC season, Sam Pittman went seven and 416 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 4: three against the spread. So odds makers were continually surprised 417 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 4: by what Arkansas was doing. And that's really kind of 418 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 4: a reflection of how he's coaching this team max effort 419 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 4: with a lot of statistics outside the top one hundred. 420 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 4: So how does that translate into Rice? Because I have 421 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 4: this projected at eighteen, and I have the total right 422 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 4: on the number, So you have to go a little 423 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,640 Speaker 4: bit farther for this Southwest Conference rivalry. In terms of pace, 424 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 4: these two teams couldn't be any Rice finished one hundred 425 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 4: and twenty fourth and seconds per play under the Mike Blugrin. 426 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 4: You know he's still there. He comes from the David 427 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 4: Shaw Stanford coaching tree, a lot of fullbacks, a lot 428 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 4: of tight ends on the field, And every time I 429 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 4: convince myself that I want to take an over in 430 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 4: this game, I'm reminded that if Rice can sustain an 431 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 4: eight minute drive, that really kind of kills Arkansas's chance 432 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 4: of like getting over the total, because they might have 433 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 4: to do it all by themselves. I'm not sure Rice 434 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 4: is going to get in the end zone. Rice was 435 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 4: bottom ten and twenty plus yard plays from scrimmage last year. 436 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 4: That's an improvement from one hundred and twenty eighth and 437 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 4: twenty nineteen. Rice is the worst at twenty plus yard 438 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 4: plays from scrimmage over the last two years. I don't 439 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,400 Speaker 4: expect that to change. They're tied with Akron as far 440 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 4: as like most worst explosive offenses in the nation, The 441 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 4: Arkansas defense was Barry odom. They specialize in giving up 442 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 4: a plenty of yards and playing, you know, basically protect 443 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 4: for the explosive play, keep everything in front of you. 444 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 4: Barry Otams, you know, made a living off of that 445 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 4: at Missouri now at Arkansas, and you know, everybody's healthy 446 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 4: now on the defense, from Bumper Pool to Grant Morgan. 447 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 4: And there's a lot of exciting names that have either 448 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 4: transferred into the program into the defensive line. There's some freshmen, 449 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 4: some highly touted freshmen that we've got, and I say 450 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 4: highly touted four stars. That's big for Arkansas. But you know, 451 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 4: Pittman was really hammering these guys the last ten days 452 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 4: and he said, listen, reviewing twenty twenty. Our first drive stunk. 453 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,400 Speaker 4: They were terrible. We didn't score any points, We didn't 454 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 4: move the ball, We weren't successful. He's had razorback players 455 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 4: out of bed early in the morning and practicing early 456 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 4: in the day just because he wants them up, awake 457 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 4: and alert. He wants the first drive to have points. 458 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 4: So I take that down as a betting note that 459 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 4: if I'm going to bet the Hogs, and it's probably 460 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 4: going to have to be something early. Now you look 461 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 4: a little bit farther underneath the hood with what Kendall 462 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 4: Browns is going to do on offense. Remember, Arkansas was 463 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 4: eighth and tempo last year and that wasn't a mistake 464 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 4: when they lost to Georgia in the opener, right with 465 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 4: Dwan Mathis getting switched out for stets of Bennett and 466 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 4: Arkansas was losing like five to zero keeping up with Georgia. 467 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 4: At some point they were running tempo like crazy, and 468 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 4: after the game, one of the local beat reporters asked 469 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 4: Sam Pittman, like, do you think maybe you should slow 470 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 4: down the tempo so that the players can get it? 471 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 4: And Pittman's response goes says, no, I think we should 472 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,439 Speaker 4: execute a lot better. This offense under Kendall Brows is 473 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,880 Speaker 4: not getting any slower. They're going to continue to execute 474 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 4: and the more these players have experienced, the better they're 475 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 4: going to be at scoring some points. So we do 476 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 4: have kJ Jefferson back at quarterback. He is, but how 477 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 4: long is he going to be in this game? He's 478 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 4: going to get his But then there's the injuries to 479 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 4: the big skilled players that we need. Treylon Burks injured 480 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 4: out with a foot. He's in practice closed off to 481 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 4: the media the last couple of days. Game time decision 482 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 4: is what we've heard. I wouldn't be surprised if they 483 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 4: hold it out and say, yeah, it probably doesn't play. 484 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,199 Speaker 4: They held them out for Texas. My opinion about it is, 485 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 4: you know, Rice is not going to be able play 486 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 4: any defense and keep up with Arkansas whatsoever. I think 487 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 4: we're going to be able to name the score. But 488 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 4: there's two things, you know that kind of bothered me, 489 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 4: and that is Rice's tempo. They can extend drives. I'm 490 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 4: not sure they could score, but they can. They go 491 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:00,919 Speaker 4: so slow. 492 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,360 Speaker 2: They're going to try to play like an old school team. 493 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 2: They use like a full back, two tight ends. They 494 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 2: run it, they wait they go super slow, they try 495 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 2: to grind the clock. Lumgren their head coach. He's a 496 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,880 Speaker 2: Stanford guy. He comes from the Stanford tree, so they 497 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 2: play sort of similarly look ahead. 498 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 4: But you can't do that with Arkansas because they now 499 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 4: have five returning offensive lineman. They're all the way through 500 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 4: over three hundred and ten pounds. I mean, this isn't 501 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,679 Speaker 4: Conference USA. So the best bed for me is a 502 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 4: first quarter bet on Arkansas at minus six and a half, 503 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 4: a first half bet at minus ten. There's just so 504 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 4: many new skill positions for Jefferson to work with that 505 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,439 Speaker 4: it could be a steamroll or it could be, you know, 506 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 4: a real challenge with accuracy and timing and some of 507 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 4: the other receivers that have come in. I don't expect 508 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 4: Rice to contribute anything in the spread, which is why 509 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 4: I'm saying off the full game total. I do want 510 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:49,199 Speaker 4: to find a way to get some money down on 511 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,640 Speaker 4: Arkansas now maybe, and listen, we're not going to stop 512 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 4: playing just because it's the third quarter, or it's the 513 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 4: fourth quarter, or because it's eighty nine to ninety one 514 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 4: degrees and the wind is blowing ten miles an hour. 515 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 4: We're going to pack the place out and Sam Pittman 516 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 4: need and Kindlebriles and Bury otam neat film on every 517 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 4: single person in the three deep. And the biggest problem 518 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 4: with Arkansas last year is we had zero depth. When 519 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,120 Speaker 4: Grant Morgan gets hurt, Bumbapoole gets hurt, the defense went 520 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 4: down the drain. When kJ Jefferson. If kJ Jefferson gets hurt, 521 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 4: we're in big trouble. A lot of not a lot 522 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 4: back there at the quarterback position. So Arkansas is not 523 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 4: going to let their foot off the gas, no matter 524 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 4: what the score is and no matter what the quarter is. 525 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 4: So that leads me to think I want an Arkansas 526 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 4: team total thirty five and a half feels steep. If 527 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 4: Rice is able to sustain drives, That's where I'm looking 528 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 4: at on the radar, there's going to be an Arkansas bet. 529 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 4: I just got to figure out what's the best value 530 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 4: between first quarter, first half or team total over all. 531 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 2: Right, keep right out on the Action Network app. Colin 532 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 2: sounds like he is tricking the hog aid. We will 533 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 2: see if that ever turns to hogwash before starting comes 534 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 2: to towns. And yeah, we got to start coming in 535 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 2: next week. And I'm sure Colin be fired up for 536 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:04,640 Speaker 2: that one. Hopefully Arkansas doesn't lose to Rice souring that 537 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 2: matchup week. 538 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 4: There will be no social media while I'm at the 539 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 4: Texas game, Like the phone will just be off in 540 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 4: the back pocket. 541 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,919 Speaker 2: What was Arkansas favored over San Jose State when they 542 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 2: lost at home to San Jose State? Twenty point underdog, 543 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 2: same range, same range in twenty and a half. 544 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, that was a more Yet that team could tackle. God, 545 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 4: that was embarrassing. 546 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 2: Shit, the Rice might not be fried just yet. You 547 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 2: might have the tune in there, you know, I'll be 548 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,159 Speaker 2: prodding Colin on Twitter if it's tied at the half. 549 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 2: So for Colin's sake and for his bet and for 550 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 2: all of you follow him, I hope that I don't 551 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,360 Speaker 2: have to do that, but I can getra actually obliged 552 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 2: to do so if that's the case. 553 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 4: It is a good thing to mention that our Saturday 554 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 4: morning college football show will be on the Action Network. 555 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 4: It's really important to watch because by then there'll be 556 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 4: indication if Treylon Burks is going to play, if Treylon 557 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 4: Smith is going to play. So I'd encourage everybody to 558 00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 4: watch our new Saturday morning show coming this weekend. 559 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, Brett Staff, myself and Colin. We're doing that every 560 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 2: Saturday morning, but it'll be live on Twitter. I think 561 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,199 Speaker 2: around ten ten thirty. I'll tweet out details on it. 562 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 2: But that'll be a lot of fun. All right, So 563 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 2: let's move on to the market games of the week. 564 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 3: It's another fabulous weekend of college football. 565 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 4: Let's check out the marquee matchups. 566 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 3: We'll all end up bedding for week one. 567 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:28,120 Speaker 2: All right, we have five really marquee games this weekend 568 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 2: that are setting the stage for the college football season. 569 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 2: We're back. Let's start at noon noon Eastern on Fox. 570 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 2: I wonder if Gus Johnson's doing this game. We have 571 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 2: a night game on Fox. We have l LSU U 572 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 2: c l A on Fox at night. That sounds that 573 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 2: seems like it'd be a Gus Johnson. I don't know. 574 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 4: Off the love Mitchell insert the college football the OU 575 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 4: Texas call for Study's favorite. 576 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,360 Speaker 2: This is what happens when I prod about that. Bring 577 00:27:54,440 --> 00:28:06,880 Speaker 2: up that Santaday State upset underbelievable college football Fox Sports 578 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 2: right Wisconsin, Penn State, Neon Eastern on Fox Wisconsin. It's 579 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 2: a five and a half point favorite over under fifty. 580 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 2: It's worth noting Paul Chris ten and two in bowl 581 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 2: games and openers eight three to one against the spread, 582 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,640 Speaker 2: so they take advantage of their preparation time. Penn State 583 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 2: last trip to Camp Randall twenty thirteen, you know what 584 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,919 Speaker 2: they did. They won as twenty five point underdogs. You 585 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 2: remember the state of Penn State back then Bill O'Brien 586 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 2: and Christian Hackenberg. Maybe Wisconsin in the I think it 587 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,719 Speaker 2: was the season finale. I'm not mistaken, regular season finale. 588 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 2: That was the last time Penn State visited Wisconsin. Penn 589 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 2: State new offensive coordinator, third one in three years for 590 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 2: Sean Clifford, who's QB one again. There are lots of 591 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 2: questions on the defensive front, new defensive ends. They're lying 592 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 2: on a lot of youth and some transfers that have 593 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 2: come in in that front seven. On the other side 594 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 2: of the ball, there are there were some coaching changes 595 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 2: for wisconsin'sition changes. Paul Chris takes over quarterback coach. He's 596 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 2: now calling the plays. I think that's going to benefit 597 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 2: Graham Mertz, who you would assume is now healthy. He 598 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 2: also has healthy receivers, super seniors that are coming back 599 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 2: that'll help. Last year they were really impacted by COVID 600 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 2: and injuries. So it looks like a much healthier Wisconsin 601 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 2: Dee might go more running back by committee, which Wisconsin 602 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 2: doesn't usually do. The Clemson transfers now in the mix. 603 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 2: Offensive line very experienced, and you know where I think 604 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 2: this comes down to is in Wisconson's defense, very experienced. 605 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 2: They're you know, going to play that you know, three 606 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 2: four attacking style for Jim Leonard, who I think is 607 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 2: going to be a head coach eventually. But I think 608 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 2: that what this comes down to is there are many 609 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 2: more questions with this Penn State team than Wisconsin. And 610 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 2: what I mean by that is, you know, Penn State 611 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 2: a third offensive quarter in three years, scheme changes. You know, 612 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 2: you have a lot of new pieces in that front seven. 613 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 2: On defense, you lost a couple offensive linemen too the NFL. 614 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 2: I know, you have a left tackle that's a potential 615 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 2: first rounder, but there's some turnover there, you know. I 616 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 2: think the difference is going to be that Wisconsin is 617 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 2: going to be able to move the ball on the 618 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 2: ground against this raw and inexperienced Penn State defensive line, 619 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 2: and on the other side of the ball, I just 620 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 2: I still don't trust Sean Clifford, so I think Wisconsin 621 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,479 Speaker 2: gets it done. The problem is, I project this spread 622 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 2: right around where it is at win bet Wisconson sitting 623 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 2: as a five and a half point favorite. There's more 624 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 2: questions on Penn State. If you put a gun to 625 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 2: my head, I would take Wisconsin here. But I'm assuming 626 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 2: that you know the problems with Mertz last year were 627 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 2: health related A big assumption here, and if they are not, 628 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 2: it's going to I think win the division easily. So 629 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 2: this is most likely a pass for me. I could argue, 630 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 2: I could see if you wanted to throw them in 631 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 2: a round robin as an anchor piece. I don't hate that, 632 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 2: or just a moneyline Partlan. We're gonna do our round 633 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 2: robin on R Show on Saturday morning. But I ultimately 634 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 2: think that all the pieces at Penn State lost in 635 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 2: their front seven, that's gonna be the difference. Wisconsin will 636 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 2: be able to sustain enough drives, Merch will be better 637 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 2: with the pieces around him and that offensive line in 638 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 2: the Wisconsin defense look to bring all their linebackers back. 639 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 2: They have the experience in the secondary. I think Wisconsin 640 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 2: wins this game. But problem is, I think the spread 641 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 2: is spot on thoughts. 642 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought that's the way that I was going 643 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 4: to go when this. You know, I took the assignment 644 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 4: to write this up for the Action Network, and you 645 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 4: guys can read a huge write up that I did 646 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 4: on this, and I was under the assumption that I'd 647 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 4: be badgers all the way going through week one, and 648 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 4: then I think some of the things that I was 649 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 4: able to dig into kind of change my mind. And 650 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 4: it's funny, you know, on a personal note, I'm a 651 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 4: Catholic and I feel like this whole Mike, you'rresicch Era. 652 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 4: Starting as offensive coordinator at Penn State, you kind of 653 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 4: have to have some belief, right, you have to have 654 00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 4: some belief that he could come in there and change 655 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 4: Sean Clifford's habits. It's this blind belief that you get 656 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 4: from his time at Ohio State, his time at Texas, 657 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 4: his time at Oklahoma State, where he had some of 658 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 4: the most explosive and successful, you know, successful offenses for 659 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 4: you know, over the past decade. So Mike Herisich steps 660 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 4: in as OC. He did have one year at Texas. 661 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 4: He didn't change the scheme down there, but I think 662 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 4: that's more of the weapons that he was handed with 663 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 4: Sam Ellger before that, quarterbacks coach Ohio State. Before that 664 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 4: is where this scheme really tended to change. Here, Sich 665 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 4: ran plenty of eleven personnel, but he mixed in thirty 666 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,719 Speaker 4: percent of ten an empty back set, which you know, 667 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 4: the a lot of these backs that are in Penn 668 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 4: State's backfield, Noah Kane and some of the other guys. Uh, 669 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 4: you know, they can spread out and they can't play slot, 670 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 4: and they can move all around the field, and you 671 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 4: have to believe that Mike heris. Such as goal in 672 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 4: week one is to get Sean Clifford to believe in himself, 673 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 4: which he does if you've gone out and read his 674 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 4: Twitter or his Instagram or you read practice reports, Sean 675 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 4: Clifford says that he feels like a new quarterback. He 676 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 4: feels like a completely different quarter back. And I think 677 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 4: that's you know, that's good to hear from Sean Clifford, 678 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 4: but something that we need to see. He had five 679 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 4: big time throws last year and ten turnover worthy plays. 680 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 4: That's what led to backup Will Levis getting plenty of 681 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 4: playing time in a weird season with a huge losing 682 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 4: streak and then a big winning streak at the end 683 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 4: the Kirk Soroka higher and fire was quite interesting. I mean, 684 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 4: he didn't change the scheme any when he came from Minnesota. 685 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 4: He was still running eleven personnel, which they ran before. 686 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 4: And I just don't you know, this is all what 687 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 4: do you believe Mike erisich kid get out of Sean 688 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 4: Clifford from a production standpoint. Has he built enough confidence 689 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 4: in him to get this done? Now? When I started 690 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 4: looking at the Wisconsin defense, I was in the same 691 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 4: boat as you. I love this Wisconsin defense, right the 692 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 4: success rate is out the door, The finishing drives is 693 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 4: out the door, as in, they don't let people score 694 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 4: across the forty yard line. They're really good at stopping 695 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 4: the chains, and they were number one in the nation 696 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 4: and preventing havoc. But I think what surprised me is 697 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 4: that they were terrible at generating their own havoc one 698 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 4: hundred and fourth and sackerrate. You know, it was just 699 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 4: something where. 700 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 2: They went from you know, fifth in the country to 701 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 2: one hundred and fourth and sacrate last year. It's a 702 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 2: team that's known for, you know, especially from their linebacker position, 703 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:11,880 Speaker 2: generating a lot of pressure. But last year they drop 704 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 2: outide the top one hundred and sacrate. 705 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, like Jack Sanborn is like all of a sudden 706 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 4: turned into a fantastic player in coverage, but not very 707 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 4: good at getting to the quarterback. And I think that 708 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 4: was You know that these two defensive ends, they're just 709 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,319 Speaker 4: not going to apply any pressure at all. That's good 710 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 4: news for Sean Clifford and the Mike Erisich are of 711 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,840 Speaker 4: rebuilding his confidence. So to me, the name of the 712 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 4: game is simple. Uh, We're gonna use shuttle passes. We're 713 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 4: gonna use bubble screens, We're gonna use motion end to rounds. 714 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,399 Speaker 4: We're gonna get Jahan Dotson in the game. We're gonna 715 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 4: get some of these explosive playmakers that Penn State has 716 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 4: in this system, get them the ball and some low 717 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 4: risk situations for Sean Clifford to continue to build his confidence. 718 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 4: The question is, is Wisconsin just gonna sit back on 719 00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 4: their heels and say we want to be number one 720 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 4: in defending exposed to plays again? If so, this could 721 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,359 Speaker 4: be an undergame. This I mean, the way that they 722 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 4: kept people out of the end zone last year, this 723 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:07,880 Speaker 4: could easily be an undergame. If that's the way that 724 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,799 Speaker 4: Wisconsin is going to play defense now on the other 725 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:11,840 Speaker 4: side of the ball. We talked about it all summer 726 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,759 Speaker 4: with Graham Mertz, you know, admitting that he had a 727 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,759 Speaker 4: shoulder injury along with COVID. The offensive line was still 728 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,360 Speaker 4: dealing with it with Covid injury. So you know, you 729 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 4: kind of wipe all that stuff from Wisconsin off the 730 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:22,880 Speaker 4: slate and you start to see what Paul Chris has 731 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 4: said in his last presser. And I think the biggest 732 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 4: thing that was surprising to me is the Jalen Burger 733 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 4: is not the starting running back. This is a guy 734 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 4: that was creating highlight yards, plenty of yards after contact, 735 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,359 Speaker 4: and Wisconsin's made this surprising announcement to go to Chess 736 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 4: Malucy at running back. The transfer in from Clemson. That 737 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 4: surprises me because of what I've seen in the advanced numbers. 738 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 4: Lucy had the lowest elusiveness rank of all backs at 739 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,880 Speaker 4: Clemson with at least ten carries. But you know, he 740 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:51,759 Speaker 4: had a bigger twenty nineteen season, So I'm not sure 741 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 4: if we want to take twenty twenty numbers from Clemson 742 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,799 Speaker 4: and apply them to hear from Malucy. He did have 743 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,360 Speaker 4: a bigger season in twenty nineteen, but that was in 744 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 4: terms of yards after contact. He will hit you and 745 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,400 Speaker 4: continue to run. But as far as creating miss tackles, 746 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 4: that's not what Wisconsin has in the backfield. That's what 747 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 4: jalen Berger does. So I mentioned to see what the 748 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,400 Speaker 4: timeshare carry here is. It's really shocked by that. And 749 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,360 Speaker 4: then for the offensive line, players have been shuffling around. 750 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 4: Tyler Beach is playing left tackle for Graham Mertz, but 751 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 4: he's been urn with a leg injury all through training camp. 752 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,719 Speaker 4: How effective is he going to be at stopping the 753 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 4: Penn State you know, attack run the edges from getting 754 00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,880 Speaker 4: into Graham Mertz and disrupting some of that offense. So 755 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:31,840 Speaker 4: to me, I mean, there's a lot of things that 756 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:35,480 Speaker 4: can kind of play into the under here. And again 757 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 4: we're back to do you believe that Eustache can build 758 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 4: Sean Clifford's you know, confidence and getting points up on 759 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:45,399 Speaker 4: the board. So listen, explosiveness is the missing ingredient here 760 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,400 Speaker 4: for Wisconsin from the offensive side, and that's their strength. 761 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,799 Speaker 4: On the defensive side, one of the biggest differences in 762 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,720 Speaker 4: these defenses is tackling grades and that's where I finally 763 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,280 Speaker 4: came to a decision that I do want to backpen State. 764 00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,799 Speaker 4: I want a six, you know. I know when Bett 765 00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 4: does have a six, there may be a six. We'll 766 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,560 Speaker 4: see if there's some Wisconsin pumping in there. I make 767 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 4: the line two and a half. I say Wisconsin minus 768 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:10,080 Speaker 4: two and a half, you know, And that really makes 769 00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:14,400 Speaker 4: it for me a play on Penn State. But considering 770 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,439 Speaker 4: the fact that the tackling grades from last year are 771 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 4: going to apply to this same defensive coordinators here, right, 772 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:23,799 Speaker 4: But Brent Priye has got to pray havoc out of 773 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 4: his unit as to where Wisconsin is just going to 774 00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,439 Speaker 4: return and do the same thing they did last year. 775 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,600 Speaker 4: But when you look at the tackling grades, Penn State 776 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 4: finished eighth and tackling last year and Wisconsin finished seventy sixth. 777 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,759 Speaker 4: That's a huge drop off, especially when Seawan Clifford is 778 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 4: going to do his best to get the ball out 779 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 4: of his hands as fast as possible to the skill 780 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 4: positions in low risk situations. I'm going to go with 781 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,439 Speaker 4: Penn State on this one. I'm going to patiently wait 782 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,399 Speaker 4: for a six. It's not going to be a big play. 783 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:50,719 Speaker 4: I'm not going to shove a bunch of money over 784 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:52,799 Speaker 4: the counter on this This game is going to be, 785 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,239 Speaker 4: you know, two heavyweights throwing haymakers at each other. But 786 00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:58,640 Speaker 4: you have to have a little bit of belief in 787 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:00,920 Speaker 4: Mike Ersch and you have to think that he has 788 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,879 Speaker 4: a game plan for keeping Sean Clifford's confidence. And I'm 789 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,239 Speaker 4: just not a fan of Wisconsin not creating havoc and 790 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:07,800 Speaker 4: not having a great tackling grade. 791 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I have to, Yeah, I have to disagree it. 792 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,479 Speaker 2: I just don't believe in. I ultimately just don't believe 793 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,360 Speaker 2: in Clifford. And Penn State looks it has an excellent secondary. 794 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:22,400 Speaker 2: They have to and right now NFL caliber players in 795 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 2: the second that's the strength of this defense. There's some 796 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 2: talent obviously in the front seven. Is Penn safe. They 797 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,400 Speaker 2: still get some talent, but it's very unproven, very unexperience. 798 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,680 Speaker 2: They lost a lot of NFL talents, not Michael Parsons. 799 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 2: It's not Michael Parsons. Not Michael Parsons for sure. So 800 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:40,400 Speaker 2: I'll be curious to see how the defense looks, especially 801 00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 2: on that front seven, because you don't want to have 802 00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 2: a lot of questions on that front seven. And I 803 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 2: have I just have to. I also am throwing out. 804 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 2: You know, you have to make decisions on what you're 805 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 2: taking for priors. Like you mentioned some of these Wisconsin 806 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:55,239 Speaker 2: stats last year with the team like Wisconsin, a team 807 00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 2: like Houston, which will talk to I threw a lot 808 00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 2: of it out, like there was. They had so many 809 00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,320 Speaker 2: COVID issues, so many injuries, I mean Mertz, especially on 810 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,960 Speaker 2: the offensive ID. You have Mertz who was hurt. You're 811 00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 2: there two best receivers who barely played. But again, this 812 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:09,360 Speaker 2: is what makes the season so intriguing. 813 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,920 Speaker 4: If I was, but I think I was, if I 814 00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,279 Speaker 4: was playing college fantasy though, if I was playing a 815 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,560 Speaker 4: rostering a college fantasy lineup, I absolutely would take tight 816 00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,719 Speaker 4: end Jake Ferguson from Wisconsin because the linebacker corps for 817 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,279 Speaker 4: Penn State is the unproven part of that defense and 818 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 4: Graham Mertz just going over the top and hitting that 819 00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 4: little soft spot I think to me is going to 820 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:30,880 Speaker 4: be the money play for Wisconsin offensively. 821 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 2: Yep, all right, let's take a look. Let's fits finish 822 00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 2: off the big ten here and let's talk Indiana at 823 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 2: Iowa three thirty eastern on ESPN. Iowa is a four 824 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:49,200 Speaker 2: point favorite at win bet over under forty six I'll 825 00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 2: make a case here for the under, which if you 826 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 2: follow me on the actual overcap you would have seen 827 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,360 Speaker 2: come through. Look to Iowa, you know they're always going 828 00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,400 Speaker 2: to be pretty conservative under Kirk Farence. But there's a 829 00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,360 Speaker 2: lot of things that lead me to this under. Let's 830 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,880 Speaker 2: start when Indiana has the ball. So the first question 831 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,440 Speaker 2: is Michael Pennock's healthy. We don't know right Is he 832 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,120 Speaker 2: fully healthy? Is the one hundred percent he's got three 833 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 2: season ending surgeries. Is he fully up to speed? We 834 00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,719 Speaker 2: will find out on game day if he is. If 835 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,560 Speaker 2: he's not, I mean, if he can't go, that's very 836 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,040 Speaker 2: bad news for the Indiana offense. You're gonna get Jack Tuttle. 837 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 2: But if he's not one hundred percent and he's not 838 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,360 Speaker 2: mobile and he's a little hesitant, that's bad news for 839 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:30,120 Speaker 2: the Indiana offense. The Iowa defense, the strength of the 840 00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:35,480 Speaker 2: Iowa defense is their secondary and there are some questions 841 00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,080 Speaker 2: with Iowa up front because you know, they lost guys 842 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,800 Speaker 2: like Dixon, who was the I think Big ten defensive 843 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:45,080 Speaker 2: lineman of the year, Golston, they're gone. There's studs on 844 00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:48,640 Speaker 2: the defensive line. So that's where I think I was 845 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,919 Speaker 2: a little soft up front the defensive side of the ball. 846 00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,359 Speaker 2: But Indiana can't really run the ball right. I think 847 00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,399 Speaker 2: that's where you're gonna have to attack this Iowa team 848 00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 2: because they have a great secondary and what do they 849 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,680 Speaker 2: never do? They never allowed to plays right, they don't 850 00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:03,839 Speaker 2: allow I think they were in top two or three 851 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 2: last year. They're always gonna be that way. They don't 852 00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:10,520 Speaker 2: let anything explosive down the field. But I think maybe 853 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 2: early on, unless some guys emerge, you can run on 854 00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:14,560 Speaker 2: some you know, if you can, you have a good 855 00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:16,799 Speaker 2: rushing attack, you could run on them. Indiana is not 856 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,759 Speaker 2: that team. What's that that mean? You're not that guy, Pal, 857 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:20,760 Speaker 2: You're not that guy. 858 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,719 Speaker 1: You're not that guy, Pal, Trust me, you're not that guy. 859 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,440 Speaker 2: That's Indiana's not what they average three point three yards 860 00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,520 Speaker 2: per Carrie last year. It's not a great run blocking 861 00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:31,400 Speaker 2: offensive line. They don't have a great rushing test. So 862 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,480 Speaker 2: I don't think they'll be able to explode that exploit that 863 00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,520 Speaker 2: they're gonna have to. You know, go have Penix be 864 00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,239 Speaker 2: healthy number one, and then just methodically go down the 865 00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,719 Speaker 2: field throwing the ball against a team that you know 866 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,000 Speaker 2: doesn't give up exposive plays, and then is great in 867 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,080 Speaker 2: the red zone. Oh and oh, by the way, Indiana's 868 00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:50,399 Speaker 2: offense is a lot of red zone regression coming after 869 00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,800 Speaker 2: last year. So it wouldn't shock me if they, you know, 870 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:54,600 Speaker 2: on the drives they do get down the field, they 871 00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:56,319 Speaker 2: settle for a lot of field goals. On the other 872 00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,879 Speaker 2: side of the ball, you have Iowa, who I think 873 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:03,160 Speaker 2: had the almost explosive rate in college football last year. No, 874 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,799 Speaker 2: no explosiveness. You might not see any explosive plays in 875 00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:09,399 Speaker 2: this game, right, So just long with thoughtical drives. They 876 00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:14,080 Speaker 2: had no explosiveness. They're playing against an Indiana defense that 877 00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,000 Speaker 2: brings back most of the starters that I think is 878 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,560 Speaker 2: a top ten unit national and they have two All 879 00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:22,120 Speaker 2: Americans Mike McFadden the linebacker and Mulling at one of 880 00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:26,000 Speaker 2: the corner spots. I think all four of their defensive 881 00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,160 Speaker 2: backs got all Big Ten preseason honors. I really like 882 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,120 Speaker 2: this Indiana defense. It's a you know, the four to 883 00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,799 Speaker 2: two five, the Tom Allen installed. There's a new defensive quarter, 884 00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:35,920 Speaker 2: but who cares. This is Tom Allen's defense. Not much 885 00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,799 Speaker 2: it's gonna change from last year, right, So I don't 886 00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,000 Speaker 2: think that you know, in Petricks last year, Look, Iowa 887 00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:42,439 Speaker 2: you have to get them credit. They were They only 888 00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:44,719 Speaker 2: had six practices. They were the fifth youngest team last year, 889 00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,880 Speaker 2: and they almost went undefeated. I mean they won their 890 00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,720 Speaker 2: final I think five games. They blew two leads early 891 00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:53,799 Speaker 2: on in the year, in the two fourth quarter leads. 892 00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:55,279 Speaker 2: They could have been undefeated last year. And by the 893 00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:58,359 Speaker 2: way from Penn State people, they closed the year very 894 00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,080 Speaker 2: strong as well. They won I think five straight to 895 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:01,439 Speaker 2: close the year. I have to throw that out there. 896 00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,879 Speaker 2: But Petrist improved as the year went on. But this 897 00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,400 Speaker 2: is not an explosive offense, least explosive offense in the country. 898 00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,400 Speaker 2: They lose Smith. They lost Smith and Smith Marsett at receiver. 899 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:14,719 Speaker 2: So I mean those two guys made NFL. I think. 900 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:16,799 Speaker 2: I don't know if it's spit More sets on an 901 00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:18,919 Speaker 2: NFL roster, I don't. I think Smith's on the Cowboys. Still, 902 00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:22,200 Speaker 2: those two guys who made NFL rosters and they had 903 00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,880 Speaker 2: the least explosive offense in the countries. I have questions about. 904 00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:30,160 Speaker 2: I just don't see Iowa. You know, I think the 905 00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,319 Speaker 2: tight end can have some success, a really good tight end, 906 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:36,400 Speaker 2: but the offensive line lost some players. You have a 907 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,440 Speaker 2: really good center, but you've lost a couple pros and 908 00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,719 Speaker 2: I know Farens offensive line guy, did they develop their 909 00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,000 Speaker 2: offensive line very quickly? In their offenseive is always gonna 910 00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,480 Speaker 2: be good. But yeah, I just see both. I see 911 00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,720 Speaker 2: a lot of advantages for the defenses, and I see 912 00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,920 Speaker 2: I don't see many explosive players in this game, which 913 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,520 Speaker 2: is going to make it look like if it goes 914 00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:01,600 Speaker 2: according to al, I'm picking make it look like a 915 00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,200 Speaker 2: you know, old So Beth Moone should be on the 916 00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,240 Speaker 2: call for this game. That's going to be a rock fight. 917 00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,120 Speaker 2: And Iowa can't rely on fifty five maybe not fifty 918 00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:13,279 Speaker 2: five yarders. Their star kicker, Keith Duncan is no longer there. 919 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:15,399 Speaker 2: What do you see here? Do you agree on my under? 920 00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:17,840 Speaker 4: No? One makes a three to zero football game in 921 00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:22,080 Speaker 4: the third quarter more exciting than Beth's call. I love it. So. 922 00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:25,000 Speaker 4: The handicap on Iowa the summer was they're fielding two 923 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:28,120 Speaker 4: defensive tackles that weigh, you know, maybe two hundred and 924 00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:31,319 Speaker 4: eighty pounds with their with their pads on. And that 925 00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:33,480 Speaker 4: was an area of concern for me. But it was 926 00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:36,080 Speaker 4: an area of concern against Indiana because they can't expose 927 00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:40,160 Speaker 4: that and we've talked at nauseum about the the luck 928 00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:43,080 Speaker 4: that was involved in some of Indiana's season. Now they've 929 00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:45,279 Speaker 4: lost some of their targets, we don't know about Penix's health. 930 00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,520 Speaker 4: You know this is they were the biggest regression candidate 931 00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:50,960 Speaker 4: on the board, and all of that's been said. And 932 00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,919 Speaker 4: then with Iowa, the worry was the defensive tackles, which 933 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:57,080 Speaker 4: really can't be attacked by Indiana. And then the worry 934 00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:00,440 Speaker 4: was that they've lost their explosive targets on the out side. 935 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:06,040 Speaker 4: But the more you read into practice reports, Spencer Petris 936 00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:09,160 Speaker 4: may win the Heisman Trophy. Now I say that with 937 00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:11,440 Speaker 4: a little bit of a laugh. But Kirk Ferentz yesterday 938 00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:13,719 Speaker 4: is coming out saying Spencer went into the last season cold, 939 00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:16,800 Speaker 4: with no spring practice, no fall camp. He had COVID, 940 00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:20,400 Speaker 4: he was quarantined for thirty days and it really kind 941 00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:22,160 Speaker 4: of set him back at the start of last season. 942 00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,839 Speaker 4: The difference between last year to right now is night 943 00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,200 Speaker 4: and day. Now, that's great hearing that from your head coach. 944 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,719 Speaker 4: When you're surprising Kirk Ferance with the way that you're 945 00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:35,400 Speaker 4: throwing the ball, that's good news. But what else is 946 00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,320 Speaker 4: your coach going to say? I think what's more important 947 00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:41,160 Speaker 4: is the fourth year cornerback Riley Moss is Spencer Petris's roommate, 948 00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:43,520 Speaker 4: and you know, they're going against each other every day 949 00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,319 Speaker 4: in practice. And Moss, you know, was quotea saying you 950 00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:48,680 Speaker 4: can tell he's a lot more comfortable. He is slinging 951 00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,000 Speaker 4: the ball, he's not thinking about it. He's laid back, 952 00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:54,120 Speaker 4: and he's accurate. I am really excited to see what 953 00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:55,960 Speaker 4: our offense is going to be able to do. And 954 00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:58,560 Speaker 4: Spencer Petris was asked about it his you know, first 955 00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,640 Speaker 4: press conference, first ever, right he's not on zoom anymore, 956 00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:04,560 Speaker 4: and he said, I'm a little surprised myself at how 957 00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:07,319 Speaker 4: fast I'm processing stuff, getting us the right play at 958 00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,120 Speaker 4: the right time, and as fast as I can do it. 959 00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,759 Speaker 4: I feel good about both of those things. These are 960 00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:13,040 Speaker 4: really encouraging signs. 961 00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:13,239 Speaker 2: Now. 962 00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:15,600 Speaker 4: I know there's no proven targets out there for Iowa. 963 00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:17,960 Speaker 4: This line is moving the other way. And the reason 964 00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,080 Speaker 4: why the line I make this Iowa minus six and. 965 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:22,000 Speaker 2: A half and five and a half. 966 00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, and the line is moving the other way. I mean, 967 00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:28,440 Speaker 4: this is becoming a prime candidate for our boat anchor 968 00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:30,359 Speaker 4: that we like to use on our money line round 969 00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,200 Speaker 4: Robin Parlay, I have I have no issues laying Iowa 970 00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,960 Speaker 4: and some juice and a game that probably should be 971 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,880 Speaker 4: pretty tight. You know, Spencer Petris is you know, opening 972 00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:41,080 Speaker 4: game and Kinnick with the place is gonna be loaded 973 00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,000 Speaker 4: with fans, and there's gonna be waving to the Children's 974 00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:46,360 Speaker 4: hospital and there's a big moment. Indiana secondary is tough, 975 00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,080 Speaker 4: but I think we're gonna see what the plan is 976 00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:52,239 Speaker 4: in the passing game. We have unproven targets. But at 977 00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,399 Speaker 4: the same time, I'm you know, if you read between 978 00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:58,160 Speaker 4: the lines from coaches and roommates that are playing in 979 00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,640 Speaker 4: the secondary on the other side of the ball through scrimmage, 980 00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:04,000 Speaker 4: they're saying that Spencer Petris is a completely different player. 981 00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:06,759 Speaker 4: So I'm looking to back Iowa all the way here. 982 00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,560 Speaker 4: I'll just continue to let the line go down as 983 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:11,640 Speaker 4: everybody eats up this Hoosiers love. 984 00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:14,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's worth there. I mean Iowa, they their their 985 00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:16,800 Speaker 2: tackle they are swapping their tackles. They have one of 986 00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,719 Speaker 2: the best centers in college football, and Tyl Lenderbaum. Uh, 987 00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:21,360 Speaker 2: they have two new guards though they're gonna lean a 988 00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:24,200 Speaker 2: lot on Tyler Goodson. It's it's Iowa running back Samba 989 00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:26,239 Speaker 2: Porta is a very promising tight end. It's tight end 990 00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,440 Speaker 2: you at Iowa. I agree with you. I mean the 991 00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,640 Speaker 2: total is also coming down. So and it's an Iowa 992 00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,400 Speaker 2: game where so many of them are decided. You know, 993 00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:37,560 Speaker 2: they win by three four, so you know, if people 994 00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:40,239 Speaker 2: are anticipating this is gonna be really close, low scoring game, 995 00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:42,640 Speaker 2: it makes sense that the the line would come down. 996 00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:44,880 Speaker 2: If I can get Iowa under a at you know, 997 00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:47,319 Speaker 2: under a field goal, I'm on it. So I hope 998 00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:50,080 Speaker 2: it does keep coming down. I am lower than the 999 00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:52,440 Speaker 2: market on Indiana. I bet she's went total under. They 1000 00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,480 Speaker 2: have a lot of aggression coming in the turnover department, 1001 00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:57,719 Speaker 2: red zone. We don't know if Pannix is healthy, and 1002 00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:00,439 Speaker 2: I just don't think it's a good matchup for their 1003 00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:02,759 Speaker 2: offense here. They don't have the power rushing attack that 1004 00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:06,000 Speaker 2: I can think that I think can attack the underbelly, 1005 00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,760 Speaker 2: the potentially weak underbelly of this Iowa defense. 1006 00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:09,399 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1007 00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:12,160 Speaker 2: So, but it's an Iowa game, Like I don't really 1008 00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:15,040 Speaker 2: love the idea of laying. You know, when an at 1009 00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,920 Speaker 2: five six in a game, I think, now it's going 1010 00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:19,480 Speaker 2: to go under. So this is coming down if it 1011 00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:20,879 Speaker 2: goes under three. I agree with you. 1012 00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:23,440 Speaker 4: I think we have to mention though for people that 1013 00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:25,719 Speaker 4: I mean, like, I have a dime on Indiana under, right, 1014 00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:28,360 Speaker 4: and I paid a hell of a bunch of juice 1015 00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:29,759 Speaker 4: to get it at the number that I got it. 1016 00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:31,600 Speaker 4: But if you're you know, sitting at the seven and 1017 00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:34,279 Speaker 4: a half or whatever, maybe you don't want to play 1018 00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:36,480 Speaker 4: Iowa money line because you're gonna have to have this game, 1019 00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,040 Speaker 4: so you know, bet accordingly. You don't want to double 1020 00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,719 Speaker 4: up on Iowa and also have the win total at 1021 00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:44,040 Speaker 4: the same time, So you know, I'm loaded into the 1022 00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:47,640 Speaker 4: Indiana under I need Iowa to win here also, so 1023 00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:50,040 Speaker 4: you know, just bet accordingly. Don't forget that these games 1024 00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:52,160 Speaker 4: are going to play big in the futures market, especially 1025 00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:55,359 Speaker 4: when especially when you take Illinois over three and a half, right, 1026 00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:57,759 Speaker 4: and things like that happened last week. So make sure 1027 00:48:57,800 --> 00:48:59,720 Speaker 4: you remember your future's bets when you make this play. 1028 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, by the way, Iowa twenty two straight games on 1029 00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:06,680 Speaker 2: twenty five points or less. That's the longest current FBS streak, 1030 00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:10,000 Speaker 2: and you're gonna if you're back the under with me. 1031 00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:11,640 Speaker 2: Of to top two, what I think could be to 1032 00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:14,360 Speaker 2: top ten secondaries in college football. 1033 00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:15,759 Speaker 4: It's actually not gonna be hot. It's not gonna be 1034 00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:17,640 Speaker 4: hot there. It also be seventy four degrees like what 1035 00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:20,240 Speaker 4: a perfect day like? I don't know whether baby yeah? 1036 00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:21,719 Speaker 4: Love it all? 1037 00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:25,279 Speaker 2: Right, Let's move on to some non big ten and 1038 00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:31,360 Speaker 2: let's talk Alabama Miami three point thirty Eastern on ESPN 1039 00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:34,680 Speaker 2: at wind Bet. Alabama is a nineteen and a half 1040 00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:39,880 Speaker 2: point favorite over under sixty one under Nick Saban. Alabama 1041 00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:44,000 Speaker 2: fourteen and oh in season openers eleven and two and 1042 00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:47,160 Speaker 2: one against the spread, six and oh against the spread 1043 00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:50,759 Speaker 2: against ranked opponents, winning by an average margin of just 1044 00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:53,680 Speaker 2: under twenty four points per game. All those wins came 1045 00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:56,960 Speaker 2: by double digits. And I'm gonna tell you what if 1046 00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,279 Speaker 2: I had a barometer up here to say whether you 1047 00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,480 Speaker 2: were given effort, there was about fifty percent. Why did 1048 00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:06,359 Speaker 2: you push yourself? So the question is do you have 1049 00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:11,080 Speaker 2: the stones to back Miami? Now? I think that there's 1050 00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:15,000 Speaker 2: a ton of value in this number. And I've seen 1051 00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:17,279 Speaker 2: a twenty pop up which I'll be on. I'm just 1052 00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:20,680 Speaker 2: waiting to see. There's there's respected money on on Alabama. 1053 00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:22,719 Speaker 2: There's also gonna be square money on Albama, but there 1054 00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:24,759 Speaker 2: is respective money on Alabama here. I think this sign 1055 00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:27,960 Speaker 2: should be like under two touchdowns, so give me the 1056 00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,560 Speaker 2: twenty one. It's obviously me be in an Alabama premium. Is 1057 00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:33,399 Speaker 2: Derek King fully healthy? Reports are yes, but that's a question, 1058 00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:37,319 Speaker 2: just like Pennix recovering from a season ending injury last year. 1059 00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:39,799 Speaker 2: But you know, look, we've been over Alabama a bunch 1060 00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:43,520 Speaker 2: of our preseason pres new offensive coordinator, new quarterback, you know, 1061 00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:47,239 Speaker 2: you know, offensive line there, lost a lot of talent there, 1062 00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:50,520 Speaker 2: lost a ton unprecedented amount of NFL talented receiver of 1063 00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:53,680 Speaker 2: the past two seasons. So the same continuity isn't there, 1064 00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:56,560 Speaker 2: But it's Nick Saban and it's Alabama. They reload. But 1065 00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:59,520 Speaker 2: I do think that the album is much closer to 1066 00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:02,000 Speaker 2: the version two years ago that we wanted to fade. 1067 00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:05,200 Speaker 2: Then last year's version, which he said, nope, don't talk. 1068 00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:07,239 Speaker 2: Last year's ruled everyone. Tw years ago, they didn't make 1069 00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:09,920 Speaker 2: a couge twelve plow so you know, but I think 1070 00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:14,120 Speaker 2: there's value in this number, Miami. If Derek King's healthy, 1071 00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,800 Speaker 2: type of quarterback that can give the Alabama defense trouble. 1072 00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:21,320 Speaker 2: He's very mobile. Alabama plays a lot of man defense. 1073 00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:25,920 Speaker 2: You've seen some quarterbacks that fit his profile give Saban's 1074 00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:29,759 Speaker 2: defenses some issues in the past. It's obviously one of 1075 00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:32,680 Speaker 2: the most talented quarterbacks in the country. Miami defense not 1076 00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:35,680 Speaker 2: great last year, but many dias takes over the reins. 1077 00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:37,640 Speaker 2: I think that they're going to be improved this year, 1078 00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:41,279 Speaker 2: led by Bubba Bolden, potential All American at safety. So 1079 00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:43,239 Speaker 2: it's a scary fading Alabama. It's just when you look 1080 00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:44,520 Speaker 2: at some of these numbers, I mean, six and l 1081 00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:46,840 Speaker 2: against the spread against frank opponents in the season opener, 1082 00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:49,080 Speaker 2: they come out fire and they're ready. Saban has them ready. 1083 00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:51,080 Speaker 2: Average margin of victory twenty four. But this line is 1084 00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:55,000 Speaker 2: simply too high. So at twenty I'm gonna be on Miami. 1085 00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:56,600 Speaker 2: I'm just gonna wait and see if this thing. To 1086 00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:58,560 Speaker 2: hear the twenty one thoughts. 1087 00:51:58,320 --> 00:51:59,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, I took a different angle in this and it's 1088 00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,520 Speaker 4: you want like a further detailed breakdown of it. My 1089 00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:04,400 Speaker 4: write up will be out on Action Network, So I 1090 00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:07,640 Speaker 4: encourage everybody to go read that, because when you. 1091 00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:09,360 Speaker 2: Please preface that you took a different angle by first 1092 00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:13,000 Speaker 2: say I'm scared. I'm scared of fade. 1093 00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:18,160 Speaker 4: Of fading Nick Saban. Here, I mean let's I don't 1094 00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:20,360 Speaker 4: know what this podcast would be so much easier for 1095 00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:22,080 Speaker 4: over the years if you and I just showed up 1096 00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:24,200 Speaker 4: and said, we're bet in Alabama. We'll see you next week. 1097 00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:28,200 Speaker 2: Right first half, double first half for double right. 1098 00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:30,200 Speaker 4: Odds makers make the spread twenty one in the first 1099 00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:31,800 Speaker 4: half and twenty one for the full game. We're just 1100 00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:35,719 Speaker 4: gonna lay Alabama. We'll see you next week. Call the voicemails. No, 1101 00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:38,719 Speaker 4: I don't want to fa save in here whatsoever. And 1102 00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:44,080 Speaker 4: I this is listen. Two years ago, LSU oddsmakers couldn't 1103 00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:46,520 Speaker 4: keep up math guys like myself couldn't keep up. No 1104 00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:49,200 Speaker 4: one could put a number on that team. Last year Alabama, 1105 00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:51,359 Speaker 4: no one could put a number on that team. Maybe 1106 00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:54,040 Speaker 4: the greatest season ever from a college football team, first 1107 00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:57,520 Speaker 4: ever ten game SEC slate went undefeated, won the College 1108 00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:00,520 Speaker 4: Football Playoff. Not only that, when nine and four against 1109 00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:03,160 Speaker 4: the spread, and then injected a whole bunch of talent 1110 00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:07,240 Speaker 4: into the NFL. All this going on while Nick Saban 1111 00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:10,320 Speaker 4: becomes the winning his coach all time in national championships 1112 00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:13,080 Speaker 4: and ties Bear Bryant at Alabama one more to go 1113 00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:15,840 Speaker 4: to get above the Bear. So you know, the Hurricanes 1114 00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:18,279 Speaker 4: they didn't have a bad season. They went eight and three. 1115 00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,120 Speaker 4: They lost their biggest games on the schedule against North 1116 00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:23,800 Speaker 4: Carolina and Clemson, So I mean there's good news and 1117 00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:25,520 Speaker 4: bad news there. I mean, the good news is they 1118 00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:28,400 Speaker 4: finally remedied these issues where they have long layoffs and 1119 00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:29,879 Speaker 4: they show up to the Independence Bowl and they don't 1120 00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:31,560 Speaker 4: look like they know what the hell they're doing. They 1121 00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:34,320 Speaker 4: finally started showing up off bye weeks like many. Diaz 1122 00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:37,120 Speaker 4: actually had a scheduled game plan for these guys in 1123 00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:39,640 Speaker 4: extra time off, so we don't have to worry about 1124 00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:43,040 Speaker 4: that anymore. Miami be a complete fade, although you know, 1125 00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:45,560 Speaker 4: we'll have to see, you know, where they're at here 1126 00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:48,080 Speaker 4: with this against Alabama, because the health of dear King 1127 00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:50,520 Speaker 4: is the biggest story for the Hurricanes coming into this game. 1128 00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:54,840 Speaker 4: During scrimmages, his first scrimmage, he made a bunch of 1129 00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:57,879 Speaker 4: cuts on the turf and he looked one hundred percent 1130 00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:00,959 Speaker 4: ready for this game. I'm not that worried about deer 1131 00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:04,080 Speaker 4: At King's health going into this game, considering he's had 1132 00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:07,400 Speaker 4: two scrimmages and he's made cuts just fine around this defense. 1133 00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:10,080 Speaker 4: I'm a little bit more worried about his health coming 1134 00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:13,560 Speaker 4: out of this game. Considering the strength of this Alabama team, 1135 00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:16,319 Speaker 4: the heartbeat of this team this year is going to 1136 00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:20,240 Speaker 4: be that defense, especially the back seven. As for Miami, 1137 00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:22,759 Speaker 4: the defense returns ninety percent per tarp. That's a lot 1138 00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:25,479 Speaker 4: success right in the finishing drives. Each took a dip 1139 00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:27,759 Speaker 4: last year. One thing that didn't take a dip though 1140 00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:29,960 Speaker 4: was the Hurricanes Havoc. They were twelfth in the nation. 1141 00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:32,560 Speaker 4: They continue to get the ball turnover, they continue to 1142 00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:35,400 Speaker 4: get in backfields. That's something to watch for. With Alabama, 1143 00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:38,360 Speaker 4: they're having a competition at center. You know, one of 1144 00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,719 Speaker 4: the fifth year seniors competing for the job puts up 1145 00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:43,319 Speaker 4: some of the worst run and pass blocking grades. So 1146 00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:45,720 Speaker 4: it's important to watch how the offensive line is after. 1147 00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:48,160 Speaker 4: You know, they basically, like I said, ejected a bunch 1148 00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:51,320 Speaker 4: of players out of college ball and into the NFL. 1149 00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:55,040 Speaker 4: And we've said this before. The current spread, you're paying 1150 00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:59,240 Speaker 4: twenty twenty prices in twenty twenty one for the Crimson Tide. 1151 00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:04,200 Speaker 4: It's just too high. But at what point what are 1152 00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:05,840 Speaker 4: you gonna do? You're gonna trust the numbers or are 1153 00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:07,360 Speaker 4: you gonna just keep rolling with saban? 1154 00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:09,480 Speaker 2: Why did you push yourself and. 1155 00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:11,760 Speaker 4: You know, look at what's lost on the defense. Patrick's 1156 00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:13,799 Speaker 4: certain is out. But then they go and they get 1157 00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:17,280 Speaker 4: a five star recruit. The kids got this unbelievable ranking 1158 00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:21,319 Speaker 4: at cornerback in kool Aid McKinstry like just watching yeah, 1159 00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:23,560 Speaker 4: watching film mkool aid was like the highlight of my 1160 00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:26,880 Speaker 4: week here doing digging research. This Bama defense has the 1161 00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:29,279 Speaker 4: ability to be the best. I think they're gonna be 1162 00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:31,200 Speaker 4: the best back seven in the nation. We'll save the 1163 00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:33,440 Speaker 4: Clems in Georgia talk for the best front seven in 1164 00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:35,120 Speaker 4: the nation, but this will be the best, the best 1165 00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:38,239 Speaker 4: back seven in the nation. The defensive line has had, 1166 00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:41,040 Speaker 4: you know, a couple of new faces in there. We'll 1167 00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:42,520 Speaker 4: see what they can do from a nose tackle, what 1168 00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:45,400 Speaker 4: they can do in the A gaps. But you know, 1169 00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:49,600 Speaker 4: the biggest issue for Miami is defensive coordinator Pete Golding 1170 00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:52,320 Speaker 4: and his attention to details. They always line up correctly, 1171 00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:54,719 Speaker 4: even when Alabama had bad defenses. A couple of years ago, 1172 00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:58,040 Speaker 4: Saban jumped down Golding shit and was just all over 1173 00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:01,640 Speaker 4: him about fundamentals on defense, Tackling head on the side 1174 00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:04,480 Speaker 4: of the football, lining up in the correct spots. Those 1175 00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:06,560 Speaker 4: things kind of got lost with Golding and Saban was 1176 00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:09,040 Speaker 4: paying more attention to the defense. If you read some 1177 00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:11,799 Speaker 4: of the practice reports, Saban could care less about what 1178 00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:14,560 Speaker 4: Bill Brian's doing on offense. He is still working with 1179 00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:17,000 Speaker 4: Pete Golding on the defense. So what does that tell me? 1180 00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:20,719 Speaker 4: Miami's in big trouble because, like I said, their two 1181 00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:22,880 Speaker 4: losses last year, we're to North Carolina and Clemson, And 1182 00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:25,399 Speaker 4: do you know why they lost those games? Because those 1183 00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:29,120 Speaker 4: two teams can tackle in space. And when you look 1184 00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:31,959 Speaker 4: at deere King against the defense like Clemson last year, 1185 00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:34,319 Speaker 4: if you take out the one explosive run he had, 1186 00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:36,640 Speaker 4: he had an explosive run for like fifty six yards 1187 00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:39,400 Speaker 4: in the second quarter. If you take that out, he 1188 00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:41,960 Speaker 4: had thirteen attempts on only twenty eight yards when he 1189 00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:44,880 Speaker 4: had designed runs. And when a team can tackle in 1190 00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:49,160 Speaker 4: space at the elite level of Clemson, that's big trouble 1191 00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:51,560 Speaker 4: for deerk King, no matter how healthy he is, no 1192 00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:54,440 Speaker 4: matter how great he's doing. A defense like Alabama and 1193 00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:56,759 Speaker 4: what they've got in the back seven, loaded with all 1194 00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:59,120 Speaker 4: of this NFL talent, I don't think Dierek King's gonna 1195 00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:01,440 Speaker 4: be able to do much in open space whatsoever. So 1196 00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:03,960 Speaker 4: I think that's the great equalizer to the tempo and 1197 00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:06,719 Speaker 4: the rpo that RTT Lashley wants to put out there. 1198 00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:08,719 Speaker 4: You know, the point of attack for Miami and is 1199 00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:10,520 Speaker 4: going to be the new defensive line of Alabama. But 1200 00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:12,880 Speaker 4: I mean there's gonna be a clear limitation on explosive 1201 00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:16,040 Speaker 4: plays the Hurricanes are, you know, both through the air 1202 00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:18,919 Speaker 4: and on the ground. You know, there's just Malachai More 1203 00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:21,560 Speaker 4: just shut down slots. Last year, nobody got anything out 1204 00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:24,200 Speaker 4: of the slop position because of Malachi More. He returns. 1205 00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:26,560 Speaker 4: Can't wait to see kool aid start shutting people down. 1206 00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:31,400 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, what about the Bama offense? Right? What are 1207 00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:32,840 Speaker 4: we going to do about Bryce Young and a new 1208 00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:36,560 Speaker 4: quarterback against this? I don't know Miami defense where many 1209 00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:38,600 Speaker 4: Diaz has taken a couple of linebackers put him at 1210 00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:41,680 Speaker 4: the end. He's trying to be thinner, faster. You still 1211 00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:44,880 Speaker 4: can get pushed around by bigger guys. Bill O'Brien said 1212 00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:48,080 Speaker 4: this in the preseason SEC pod. What ran the most 1213 00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:52,040 Speaker 4: twelve formation out of any NFL head coach? That means 1214 00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:54,800 Speaker 4: he ran two tight ends. What did Sark do? I 1215 00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:57,720 Speaker 4: mean the numbers of what Sark did or still amazed 1216 00:57:57,760 --> 00:58:00,400 Speaker 4: me like the efficiency of this offense last year was 1217 00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:02,480 Speaker 4: just out of control. But go back and research in 1218 00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:05,840 Speaker 4: the numbers. In twenty nineteen, Sark ran the twelve formation, 1219 00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:08,600 Speaker 4: two tight end set just on twenty two percent of snaps. 1220 00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:12,960 Speaker 4: In twenty nineteen, that doubled to forty five percent. Last year, 1221 00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:16,160 Speaker 4: Sark ran two tight ends the twelve formation. It became 1222 00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:19,600 Speaker 4: a huge thing. So Bill O'Brien running the Texans in 1223 00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:21,680 Speaker 4: twelve all the time and coming into Alabama where Sark 1224 00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:25,000 Speaker 4: was running twelve and half the snaps, it's no change whatsoever. 1225 00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:26,720 Speaker 4: I mean, the only problem that's been come up on 1226 00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:29,640 Speaker 4: offense with the tight ends is Joe Billingsley having disciplinary 1227 00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:31,480 Speaker 4: issues and Saban has made mention that he's got to 1228 00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:33,680 Speaker 4: learn to live within our rules. I'm not saying that 1229 00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:35,640 Speaker 4: Bryce Young is going to be dumping off the tight ends, 1230 00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:38,800 Speaker 4: but they're going to use the tight end sets, multiple 1231 00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:42,520 Speaker 4: tight ends to disguise things, to move pockets to protect 1232 00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:45,400 Speaker 4: Bryce Young, and like I said about Sean Clifford, put 1233 00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:49,360 Speaker 4: him in low risk situations where you know DeVonta Smith 1234 00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:52,240 Speaker 4: was doing end to rounds or Jalen Wattle was doing motion. 1235 00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:54,520 Speaker 4: There's going to be a lot of motion here a 1236 00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:56,480 Speaker 4: lot of confusion for the Miami defense to try to 1237 00:58:56,560 --> 00:59:00,880 Speaker 4: keep contained. And to me, that's really where where the 1238 00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:04,640 Speaker 4: whole handicap is. Miami has defensive ends that can't keep 1239 00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:07,520 Speaker 4: containing practice. They can't contain dear at King. And if 1240 00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:09,320 Speaker 4: you can't contain dear at King, well I've got a 1241 00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:11,480 Speaker 4: whole boatload of blue chip talent that's about to attack 1242 00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:14,600 Speaker 4: you from Alabama. So you know, in my opinion, the 1243 00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:16,720 Speaker 4: ground game is going to be paramount for both teams. 1244 00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:18,720 Speaker 4: There's not going to be a lot of explosive plays, 1245 00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:21,240 Speaker 4: at least for Alabama. In the beginning. It feels like 1246 00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:23,800 Speaker 4: an Alabama game where they go a first quarter with 1247 00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:27,960 Speaker 4: scripted plays and then boom, they just hit you. You know, 1248 00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:31,840 Speaker 4: it's a classic Alabama game where you know Saban Golding 1249 00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:34,640 Speaker 4: and O'Brien are going to make changes after the third 1250 00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:37,080 Speaker 4: or fourth series. They're going to shut you down and 1251 00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:39,439 Speaker 4: their offensive changes. What is going to put this cover 1252 00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:42,600 Speaker 4: in jeopardy. So I think from a live betting standpoint, 1253 00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:44,840 Speaker 4: I would want to get Alabama somewhere in the mid 1254 00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:47,120 Speaker 4: first quarter, mid second quarter. I don't think I would 1255 00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:49,160 Speaker 4: take this pre game. If you're afraid of the price 1256 00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:52,080 Speaker 4: because it is high. But for me, I took under 1257 00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:53,800 Speaker 4: thirty one and a half at the beginning of the week. 1258 00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:57,640 Speaker 4: Why because both of these offenses have said it's ground based, 1259 00:59:57,760 --> 01:00:00,120 Speaker 4: We're not going to go through the air whatsoever. And 1260 01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:02,960 Speaker 4: Alabama's defense back seven is the best in the nation. 1261 01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:05,720 Speaker 4: I don't expect any exposive plays. I don't expect them 1262 01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:08,280 Speaker 4: to be passed over. I don't expect anybody to get anywhere. 1263 01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:10,440 Speaker 4: I feel like there's gonna be a ton of punts 1264 01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:12,960 Speaker 4: and we have I'll let you talk to the punting, 1265 01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:15,280 Speaker 4: but I mean this is not too shabby of some 1266 01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:18,400 Speaker 4: special teams for the for these teams, so first half 1267 01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:20,840 Speaker 4: under for me, it's still sitting around thirty one. So 1268 01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:23,120 Speaker 4: I think you should get it sooner rather than later, 1269 01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:25,600 Speaker 4: and I will be looking to bet Alabama alive at 1270 01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:27,400 Speaker 4: my projection of fourteen. 1271 01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:30,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I have to trust by matth here. Everyone's just 1272 01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:31,960 Speaker 2: also assuming Bryce Young is going to be amazing run 1273 01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:35,080 Speaker 2: his first start ever, not make mistakes. That's crazy against 1274 01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:39,600 Speaker 2: against a you know, defense that continuously is up there 1275 01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:42,240 Speaker 2: in havoc and does push you into mistakes and have 1276 01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:44,440 Speaker 2: it with man ideas. It's his focus is gonna be 1277 01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:46,680 Speaker 2: on blitz and havoc. That's it. I mean the weakness 1278 01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:48,560 Speaker 2: of the Miami defense, which does return almost ninety percent 1279 01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:51,040 Speaker 2: of their snaps from last year, and added Stevenson, the 1280 01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:53,680 Speaker 2: cornerback from Georgia, you know, added Johnson the defensive end 1281 01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:56,680 Speaker 2: from Tennessee. I think is going to be better. 1282 01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:56,800 Speaker 4: Now. 1283 01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:58,760 Speaker 2: Mammy's going to go fast with Lashley so that you know, 1284 01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:01,560 Speaker 2: if it is a bluff that doesn't necessarily help you. 1285 01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:03,919 Speaker 2: But I think this number is too high. What I'll 1286 01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:06,320 Speaker 2: make Bryce Young, you know, prove it to be Pluster's 1287 01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:09,600 Speaker 2: gonna be wide open chances for back doors. I mean, 1288 01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:12,400 Speaker 2: this is sitting twenty four in the fourth quarter, so 1289 01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:14,920 Speaker 2: give me the U. We're waiting on twenty one. Now, 1290 01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:28,160 Speaker 2: all right, let's move on to the night slate. We 1291 01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:31,800 Speaker 2: have two Marquee games in prime time, which I can't 1292 01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:32,960 Speaker 2: wait for. The gonna be both going on at the 1293 01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:37,320 Speaker 2: same time. Let's start at seven point thirty Eastern. 1294 01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:40,200 Speaker 4: You got enough TVs this weekend, I got the whole. 1295 01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:42,960 Speaker 2: I'll be home. I'll be home this weekend. I'm going home, 1296 01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:44,960 Speaker 2: flying home at like six in the morning, and hopefully 1297 01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:47,880 Speaker 2: I can get to the Philly Airport. Philly's flooded out 1298 01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:51,439 Speaker 2: from down an Avalon. But I'll be back. I won't. 1299 01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:53,320 Speaker 2: I would never be this, I will never be away. 1300 01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:56,760 Speaker 2: On a college football Saturday, yeah, let's start seven thirty Eastern. 1301 01:01:56,880 --> 01:02:00,240 Speaker 2: It's a big one. Clemson Georgia at win Bet, which 1302 01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:03,160 Speaker 2: is a three point underdog. This I should have mentioned. 1303 01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:06,840 Speaker 2: This is on a neutral field. Alabama Miami's on a 1304 01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:11,400 Speaker 2: neutral field over under fifty and a half, seven thirty Eastern, ABC. Look, 1305 01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:12,920 Speaker 2: these are two of the best teams in the country. 1306 01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:16,439 Speaker 2: Georgia now has an offense to go with with JT. 1307 01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:20,200 Speaker 2: Daniels to go with their always stingy defense. It's a 1308 01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:24,240 Speaker 2: championship caliber team. Now Clemson championship. I'm not going to 1309 01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:25,600 Speaker 2: tell you anything you don't already know. I want to 1310 01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:30,880 Speaker 2: see this Georgia secondary against Clemson's passing attack. But look, 1311 01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:33,560 Speaker 2: sometimes the line is just right. To me, this line 1312 01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:36,680 Speaker 2: is right. If you got four to four and a half, great, 1313 01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:38,960 Speaker 2: But I have I'm invested in this game. I have 1314 01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:41,240 Speaker 2: Georgia plus one seventy five to go to the playoff. 1315 01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:43,640 Speaker 2: I have Georgia eight to one to win the national title. 1316 01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:47,920 Speaker 2: Win this game, I mean you're in a good position 1317 01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:50,919 Speaker 2: for both those bets, and it shows that they beat 1318 01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:53,320 Speaker 2: Clemson on a neutral field. So I'll be watching. I'll 1319 01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:55,160 Speaker 2: be room for Georgia might have a second f play. 1320 01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:58,320 Speaker 2: I know everyone has the itch all plenty of plays 1321 01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:01,280 Speaker 2: on Saturday. This won't be one of them. I think 1322 01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:03,800 Speaker 2: this line's are right. I make it. I'll tell you 1323 01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:06,960 Speaker 2: the exact decimal. I make it too, So I make 1324 01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:09,920 Speaker 2: it Clemson minus two. I would have taken four and 1325 01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:13,120 Speaker 2: a half. I should have. I didn't. I still had 1326 01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:16,800 Speaker 2: some questions about Georgia. I feel a little less worried 1327 01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:18,880 Speaker 2: about them after some review, but I missed the number, 1328 01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:22,160 Speaker 2: and three is you know about right. I'm not gonna 1329 01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:24,840 Speaker 2: take minus two when I make it minus three, So 1330 01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:26,720 Speaker 2: I got nothing here. I think this will be an 1331 01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:29,880 Speaker 2: excellent football game. It's a great way to, you know, 1332 01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:32,800 Speaker 2: have our first Saturday primetime game with these two teams 1333 01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:38,720 Speaker 2: playing on a neutral field with huge college football playoff implications. 1334 01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:41,480 Speaker 2: So maybe you can help us find a play. By 1335 01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:43,960 Speaker 2: the way, if you want to get invested with me, 1336 01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:45,720 Speaker 2: you can also been on you know if you have 1337 01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:48,440 Speaker 2: Georgia futures from our preseason podcast, Calum When you got here. 1338 01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:51,120 Speaker 4: This is a college football playoff game that we're getting 1339 01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:52,920 Speaker 4: in week one. I mean, it's a gift from the 1340 01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:57,920 Speaker 4: football gods, especially with Djali and JT Daniels starting the 1341 01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:00,680 Speaker 4: national title runs and their Heisman runs. We talked about 1342 01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:03,800 Speaker 4: all summer that this game will create value for the loser, 1343 01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:06,480 Speaker 4: especially if that loser is Clemson and the Cupcakes schedule 1344 01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:08,520 Speaker 4: that they have afterwards. But that'll be something that we'll 1345 01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:12,120 Speaker 4: discuss on our wrap up podcast along with our voicemails, 1346 01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:14,520 Speaker 4: which were hopefully nice to us next time that we meet. 1347 01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:17,520 Speaker 4: So JJ Daniels, you know, finished the twenty twenty season 1348 01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:20,720 Speaker 4: winning four straight. He showed an impressive comeback against Cincinnati. 1349 01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:22,400 Speaker 4: He made a lot of mistakes early in that game, 1350 01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:25,120 Speaker 4: but three scoring drives in the fourth quarter against the 1351 01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:27,280 Speaker 4: secondary that's going to be playing at the next level 1352 01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:31,320 Speaker 4: just is icing on the cake for Daniels, who you know, 1353 01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:34,320 Speaker 4: finally got into the season, got Stepsan Bennett on the bench, 1354 01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:38,160 Speaker 4: got Dawn Mathis to transfer you know, Daniel's into the 1355 01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:40,720 Speaker 4: season with at ten to two TD to I int ratio. 1356 01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:44,040 Speaker 4: More importantly, he had eleven big time throws versus six 1357 01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:46,640 Speaker 4: turnover worthy plays and his average depth of target was 1358 01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:48,680 Speaker 4: over twelve yards. So what that means is is he 1359 01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:51,960 Speaker 4: throws it deep, he throws it accurate. He is a 1360 01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:54,720 Speaker 4: legitimate Heisman candidate, and this game will go a long 1361 01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:57,040 Speaker 4: way in determining that. The problem is is, you know, 1362 01:04:57,080 --> 01:04:58,920 Speaker 4: there have been injuries, there are a lot of outs 1363 01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:00,840 Speaker 4: in this game, and it's just it's been a constant 1364 01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:03,640 Speaker 4: daily wake up and search and see what Georgia's got 1365 01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:04,160 Speaker 4: on the field. 1366 01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:04,640 Speaker 2: Now. 1367 01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:06,560 Speaker 4: One thing to note is that like the East Coast 1368 01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:11,000 Speaker 4: has just been hammered with precipitation, just rain like crazy, 1369 01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:14,000 Speaker 4: and specifically in the Carolinas there's been a lot of rain. 1370 01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:17,280 Speaker 4: But if you go and look at Bank of America 1371 01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:21,000 Speaker 4: Stadium where the Panthers play, they've installed new turf. They 1372 01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:24,760 Speaker 4: have this new turf system that the drains, you know, 1373 01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:27,760 Speaker 4: rolls up drains, It does everything possible. So for those 1374 01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:29,480 Speaker 4: of you that are worried that there could be some 1375 01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:33,400 Speaker 4: sloppy field conditions for the running games. In the passing 1376 01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:36,200 Speaker 4: games are more importantly JT. Daniels trying to throw it 1377 01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:38,520 Speaker 4: down the field or DJ trying to throw down the field. 1378 01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:40,200 Speaker 4: I don't think that's going to be a problem here 1379 01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:42,520 Speaker 4: with what you know, the Panthers have on their home turf. 1380 01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:46,240 Speaker 4: Will the Sacerate allowed a fifty fourth improved With this 1381 01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:49,400 Speaker 4: offensive line, Clemson has the best defensive front seven in 1382 01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:51,880 Speaker 4: the country, with Myles Murphy on the edge, Brian Breese 1383 01:05:52,080 --> 01:05:54,880 Speaker 4: on the interior, and Xavier Thomas still there former PS 1384 01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:57,840 Speaker 4: number one. He's at the defensive end for Brett Venables 1385 01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:02,280 Speaker 4: And you know, but film, I think what's interesting is 1386 01:06:02,320 --> 01:06:04,959 Speaker 4: that Brent can watch as much film as he wants 1387 01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:07,240 Speaker 4: about Todd Munkin and what the offense did last year. 1388 01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:11,160 Speaker 4: But Todd Munkin was one transparent. You didn't even see 1389 01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:13,960 Speaker 4: half my playbook last year. I didn't have the personnel 1390 01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:15,920 Speaker 4: in place. I didn't have JT. Daniels, I didn't have 1391 01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:18,440 Speaker 4: what I needed in place to run my playbook. And 1392 01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:21,400 Speaker 4: what he's trying to say and not actually say it 1393 01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:25,520 Speaker 4: is that Georgia is finally going to play real college football, 1394 01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:27,720 Speaker 4: come to the modern era, and they're going to pass 1395 01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:29,880 Speaker 4: on first down, which you know, they have the right 1396 01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:31,840 Speaker 4: quarterback in place, They have the right They did have 1397 01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:35,160 Speaker 4: the right weapons until a slew of injuries and off 1398 01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:39,040 Speaker 4: field stuff started happening. So I expect Monkin to be 1399 01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:42,640 Speaker 4: throwing and throwing early, if there's any success right behind 1400 01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:46,840 Speaker 4: that whatsoever. This case, I think tempo could be a 1401 01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:50,280 Speaker 4: part of this game. And Clemson's front seven is unquestionably 1402 01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:53,479 Speaker 4: probably the best in the nation, and the only place 1403 01:06:53,520 --> 01:06:56,640 Speaker 4: to attack Clemson is in the back seven. There certainly 1404 01:06:56,720 --> 01:06:59,600 Speaker 4: is you know, missing DeAndre Deon Kendrick has moved over. 1405 01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:02,760 Speaker 4: He's now in the Georgia Bulldogs secondary. There is a 1406 01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:06,440 Speaker 4: freshman corner I believe, starting for Clemson, so you know 1407 01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:08,640 Speaker 4: there are targets for JT. Daniels to go after. The 1408 01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:10,520 Speaker 4: problem is the injuries has been such a big part 1409 01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:13,800 Speaker 4: of training camp. Pickens, Blaylock, they're out at the wide 1410 01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:16,920 Speaker 4: receiver group, tight En Eric Gilbert is away from away 1411 01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:19,520 Speaker 4: from the school, got some personal things he's taken care of, 1412 01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:22,680 Speaker 4: and you know tighten Darnell Washington out with a foot injury. 1413 01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:25,920 Speaker 4: That leaves at the tight end position John Fitzgerald, who 1414 01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:28,480 Speaker 4: was struggling with a knee injury. I think he had 1415 01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:31,600 Speaker 4: like five catches last year, So I mean it's there 1416 01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:33,360 Speaker 4: could be a lot of empty there could be a 1417 01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:36,680 Speaker 4: lot of non tight end sets here. We'll see what 1418 01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:39,240 Speaker 4: they throw out there. But the wide receiver group did 1419 01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:41,920 Speaker 4: get good news with Kris Jackson, Jermaine Burton. They're going 1420 01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:43,800 Speaker 4: to be in Now. Are they dinged up or are 1421 01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:46,920 Speaker 4: they fully healthy? We'll find out, but you know, I'm 1422 01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:48,480 Speaker 4: a little nervous also about to shake up on the 1423 01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:51,680 Speaker 4: offensive line. They've been swapping positions because of injury, and 1424 01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:53,560 Speaker 4: they're gonna see you know, there could be a lot 1425 01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:57,760 Speaker 4: of moving pockets, misdirection. Daniel's releasing the ball after one 1426 01:07:57,760 --> 01:07:59,880 Speaker 4: and a half seconds is probably what he's been working 1427 01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:03,280 Speaker 4: on all week, considering that Clemson is going to come 1428 01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:06,760 Speaker 4: full speed ahead right at him, and so the offensive 1429 01:08:06,760 --> 01:08:09,040 Speaker 4: line has got to protect JT. Daniels or you know, 1430 01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:12,000 Speaker 4: this game is going to be won by the twenty 1431 01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:14,960 Speaker 4: eighteen Clemson defense that shut down everybody, one of the 1432 01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:17,960 Speaker 4: best defenses it was ever in college football. Brent Vinolves 1433 01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:20,080 Speaker 4: may have to change his defensive signals because we talked 1434 01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:24,839 Speaker 4: about Darien Kendrick transferring from Clemson. Do all Evnables signals 1435 01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:27,640 Speaker 4: and that also helps JT. Daniels. 1436 01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:28,040 Speaker 2: J T. 1437 01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:30,600 Speaker 4: Daniels now knows what the alignment's going to be for 1438 01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:33,439 Speaker 4: Brent Vinnables. Will Georgia go to the sugar huddle, Will 1439 01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:35,479 Speaker 4: Todd Munkin throw on first down. This is the drama 1440 01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:37,120 Speaker 4: that we get to look forward to, and I can't wait. 1441 01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:39,800 Speaker 4: But I have confidence in JT. Daniel attacking this secondary. 1442 01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:42,679 Speaker 4: I think the Darien Kendrick you know, move is bigger 1443 01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:45,320 Speaker 4: than people think for both sides of the ball. For Georgia, 1444 01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:48,640 Speaker 4: you know they do lose Tykee Smith. He was one 1445 01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:50,519 Speaker 4: of the bigger transfers they got in from a great 1446 01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:54,200 Speaker 4: West Virginia defense. So you know, we'll see what Georgia 1447 01:08:54,240 --> 01:08:58,519 Speaker 4: can do defensively against DJ. But again, Darien Kendrick knows 1448 01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:02,280 Speaker 4: when DJ ung Galiley gets up to the line and 1449 01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:05,599 Speaker 4: he makes calls out, Kendrick knows what those are. And 1450 01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:08,639 Speaker 4: so you would have to think over the last three weeks, 1451 01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:11,200 Speaker 4: Clemson's had to work on a whole new package of 1452 01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:13,240 Speaker 4: what DJ is barking out at the line of scrimmage 1453 01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:15,280 Speaker 4: or else. If they don't change any of that, I'm 1454 01:09:15,320 --> 01:09:17,240 Speaker 4: sure Dabo did. But if they don't change any of that, 1455 01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:20,880 Speaker 4: Clemson's in deep trouble. So there is mention of Georgia 1456 01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:24,400 Speaker 4: going tempo. That's pretty much music to my over betting years. 1457 01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:25,960 Speaker 4: The fact that you're. 1458 01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:27,720 Speaker 2: Saying sounds like you like you're going to be link 1459 01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:29,280 Speaker 2: towards just over at fifteen and a half. 1460 01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:31,960 Speaker 4: Well, Clemson was finished thirty fourth and seconds per play, 1461 01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:34,320 Speaker 4: and Georgia had an increase in tempo later in the year. 1462 01:09:34,400 --> 01:09:36,280 Speaker 4: If you look at Georgia overall last year, it's like 1463 01:09:36,320 --> 01:09:38,719 Speaker 4: seventy ninth and seconds per play, But that's Jawan Mathis 1464 01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:41,439 Speaker 4: and Stetsan Bennett. Once you got JD. Daniels in there, 1465 01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:43,960 Speaker 4: the tempo really picked up. This is a number I 1466 01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:45,320 Speaker 4: would have made sixty one at the end of the 1467 01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:48,840 Speaker 4: last season, considering how fast Georgia was running. The injuries 1468 01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:51,320 Speaker 4: to the skill positions they give me, you know, a 1469 01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:53,880 Speaker 4: little discourage me. That's probably what's keeping the number down 1470 01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:57,960 Speaker 4: so far. I mean, the only case that I can 1471 01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:00,800 Speaker 4: make is that Georgia is is going to try to 1472 01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:04,520 Speaker 4: run tempo, DJ is going to attack the Georgia secondary, 1473 01:10:05,080 --> 01:10:07,920 Speaker 4: and that if these deep passes connect, this game's gonna 1474 01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:10,400 Speaker 4: fly over. Now, if the front seven of both of 1475 01:10:10,439 --> 01:10:12,400 Speaker 4: these defenses are in control, this game is gonna go 1476 01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:15,840 Speaker 4: way under. But I expect Todd Mankins offense to be 1477 01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:17,559 Speaker 4: on I don't think it's gonna be scripted. I think 1478 01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:20,679 Speaker 4: from the very start of go you're gonna see JT. 1479 01:10:20,760 --> 01:10:22,880 Speaker 4: Daniels and Todd Monkin and what they've been cooking up 1480 01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:26,599 Speaker 4: for months. So give me the over, Give me Georgia, 1481 01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:29,000 Speaker 4: Georgia the national title. Might not even take the points. Well, 1482 01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:30,920 Speaker 4: see if I take him on the show Saturday money Line. 1483 01:10:31,240 --> 01:10:33,200 Speaker 2: All right, maybe I said I wasn't gonna pick. Maybe 1484 01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:35,000 Speaker 2: I'll ull over that over. I'll take a close books. 1485 01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:37,360 Speaker 2: You make some good points there, and yeah, we'll talk 1486 01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:39,519 Speaker 2: about this game obviously much more in depth on Saturday 1487 01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:42,400 Speaker 2: on our Saturday morning show on Twitter. All right, let's 1488 01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:46,120 Speaker 2: move on to the last Marquee game of the week. 1489 01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:50,040 Speaker 2: LSU at UCLA. The LT's u's minus two and a 1490 01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:53,200 Speaker 2: half minus won twenty at win bet over under sixty five. 1491 01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:55,880 Speaker 2: This game is eight thirty Eastern on Fox. I took 1492 01:10:55,920 --> 01:10:58,080 Speaker 2: some three and a half. I make this game a 1493 01:10:58,160 --> 01:11:02,639 Speaker 2: pick you make I think you make Ucla a favorite. Yep, 1494 01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:05,400 Speaker 2: I took anything over a field goal I wanted. There's 1495 01:11:05,439 --> 01:11:08,599 Speaker 2: also a lot of other things working in UCLA's favor. Yes, 1496 01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:11,240 Speaker 2: they played last week, and you know we were we 1497 01:11:11,240 --> 01:11:12,960 Speaker 2: were high on USA coming into the year. We thought 1498 01:11:12,960 --> 01:11:15,080 Speaker 2: the offensive line was the best that it's been on 1499 01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:17,559 Speaker 2: for Chip Kelly. You know, it's the year four, he 1500 01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:19,840 Speaker 2: has all his recruits. We thought the defense, which is 1501 01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:22,160 Speaker 2: you know, very good at creating havoc and sacks, was 1502 01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:24,800 Speaker 2: going to take a step forward this year with their 1503 01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:27,439 Speaker 2: coverage on the outside. They switched to more man and 1504 01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:29,759 Speaker 2: that and an adjustment period a lot of blown coverages 1505 01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:31,839 Speaker 2: last year. We think they're gonna better in that aspect. 1506 01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:35,040 Speaker 2: You know, dtr back at quarterback with you know, two 1507 01:11:35,160 --> 01:11:37,320 Speaker 2: very good transfer running backs who showed out last week 1508 01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:40,639 Speaker 2: against Hawaii, and we know Hawaii's run defenses is no good. 1509 01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:43,519 Speaker 2: But there's you know, so we were hi UCLI coming 1510 01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:46,519 Speaker 2: into the year, and then you have l LSU who 1511 01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:48,880 Speaker 2: you know, some offensive line concerns in camp, they have 1512 01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:50,679 Speaker 2: a lot of injury concerns. You know, they've they've held 1513 01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:53,080 Speaker 2: out a lot of guys out out of camp and practice. 1514 01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:55,519 Speaker 2: So that's a question on you know, who's actually going 1515 01:11:55,560 --> 01:11:57,639 Speaker 2: to be able to go. One of their promising freshman 1516 01:11:57,680 --> 01:12:00,880 Speaker 2: receivers that already said isn't going to play. They could 1517 01:12:00,920 --> 01:12:02,960 Speaker 2: have potentially missing a couple of other players. But there's 1518 01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:06,000 Speaker 2: rust and maybe some of these players aren't a hundred percent. 1519 01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:09,040 Speaker 2: But they got a new you know, a new defensive coordinator, 1520 01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:12,080 Speaker 2: a new play caller, a lot of change. You know. 1521 01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:13,800 Speaker 2: You said they just want to simplify the defense, and 1522 01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:16,080 Speaker 2: they do have maybe the you know, arguably the best 1523 01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:20,280 Speaker 2: cornerback tandem in college football. They have a talented defensive front. 1524 01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:22,840 Speaker 2: But you know, then throw in the fact that they 1525 01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:25,479 Speaker 2: were displaced by Hurricane Ida. I mean they had to 1526 01:12:25,520 --> 01:12:28,559 Speaker 2: go to Houston and it took them ten hours to 1527 01:12:28,600 --> 01:12:31,479 Speaker 2: get there, normally a four at four or five hours, 1528 01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:35,479 Speaker 2: so their whole week and you know, there goes that 1529 01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:38,160 Speaker 2: like film advantage that you had by looking at UCLA did. 1530 01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:39,920 Speaker 2: But I don't think UCLA did anything gradzes last week 1531 01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:41,000 Speaker 2: and then they just kind of sat on it in 1532 01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:46,800 Speaker 2: the second half. So yeah, I think LSU is vulnerable here. 1533 01:12:46,840 --> 01:12:50,439 Speaker 2: The reports are off, so that remember that they lost 1534 01:12:50,479 --> 01:12:53,840 Speaker 2: their projected starter Brennan at quarterback. Then Johnson took over. 1535 01:12:54,439 --> 01:12:57,719 Speaker 2: Reports haven't been great of how he's looked in camp, 1536 01:12:57,760 --> 01:12:59,639 Speaker 2: and neither as the offensive line. I know they've held 1537 01:12:59,640 --> 01:13:02,240 Speaker 2: out some eyes, but there's just a lot going on 1538 01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:08,080 Speaker 2: with this LSU team. Coaching changes, you know, all injuries 1539 01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:11,920 Speaker 2: and Hurricane Ida, and UCLA is much more of a 1540 01:13:11,960 --> 01:13:13,719 Speaker 2: known comodity and just from a power in the pertecond. 1541 01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:15,880 Speaker 2: I'd make this a toss up, so of course I 1542 01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:19,880 Speaker 2: took three and a half. I would try to see 1543 01:13:19,880 --> 01:13:21,000 Speaker 2: if you can find three. Now, I don't think you 1544 01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:23,280 Speaker 2: will be able to, but I would take three too, 1545 01:13:23,320 --> 01:13:25,680 Speaker 2: given especially you make them I think closer to a 1546 01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:30,800 Speaker 2: field goal favorite, given all these other extenuay circumstances. I 1547 01:13:30,880 --> 01:13:32,320 Speaker 2: like you said, I think they're gonna win this game, 1548 01:13:32,640 --> 01:13:34,880 Speaker 2: but they're becoming they feel a little too trendy now. 1549 01:13:34,920 --> 01:13:39,599 Speaker 4: But yeah, yeah, they do well. Uh, they do feel 1550 01:13:39,640 --> 01:13:41,240 Speaker 4: a little trendy. But let's you know. I'm not going 1551 01:13:41,320 --> 01:13:43,320 Speaker 4: to go over the whole entire box score for a 1552 01:13:43,320 --> 01:13:45,200 Speaker 4: while because it doesn't matter. Right that game is in 1553 01:13:45,240 --> 01:13:47,760 Speaker 4: the past and that was a glorified scrimmage. But I 1554 01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:49,880 Speaker 4: think it's important to call out a couple of things 1555 01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:53,200 Speaker 4: that could be important to this game against lsu Zach 1556 01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:58,040 Speaker 4: CHARMANA had six carries, three touchdowns, bundles of yards after contact, 1557 01:13:58,040 --> 01:14:00,840 Speaker 4: and created a ton of mistackles. And what I found 1558 01:14:00,920 --> 01:14:03,440 Speaker 4: even more and everybody knows that Sharbonay scored three touchdowns, 1559 01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:05,760 Speaker 4: but what I found more interesting is I went back 1560 01:14:05,760 --> 01:14:08,360 Speaker 4: and watched this game like over and over and over 1561 01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:10,680 Speaker 4: and really I went back to see where dtrs and 1562 01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:15,519 Speaker 4: completions were. If you watch Britain Brown, every time he 1563 01:14:15,560 --> 01:14:16,960 Speaker 4: got to carry and he got to the eight to 1564 01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:18,760 Speaker 4: ten yard range and then he got tripped up like 1565 01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:20,599 Speaker 4: he never broke one out, like I think had sixty 1566 01:14:20,600 --> 01:14:23,160 Speaker 4: eight too years. We never broke one out. He was pissed. 1567 01:14:23,640 --> 01:14:25,759 Speaker 4: He was pissed, like he was slamming the ball getting 1568 01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:29,599 Speaker 4: up running back. He knew sharbon A was just making 1569 01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:32,160 Speaker 4: highlight reels all day that I was clipping and throwing 1570 01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:34,880 Speaker 4: out on Twitter, and he wasn't getting any love from 1571 01:14:34,920 --> 01:14:37,680 Speaker 4: the social media because he couldn't break any off. So 1572 01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:40,200 Speaker 4: I think that is great for the locker room that 1573 01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:43,200 Speaker 4: these two were competing with each other to steal some highlights. 1574 01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:46,040 Speaker 4: Like you got to know that there's this competition between 1575 01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:48,519 Speaker 4: these two to have the most you know, explosive play. 1576 01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:50,599 Speaker 4: So I think it's really good to watch. The other 1577 01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:52,720 Speaker 4: one that I wanted to comment on was DTR. When 1578 01:14:52,760 --> 01:14:55,760 Speaker 4: you look at it from you know, a high level 1579 01:14:55,880 --> 01:14:57,680 Speaker 4: view at the box score, it looks like ten of 1580 01:14:57,720 --> 01:15:00,000 Speaker 4: twenty in the passing, but you need to go back 1581 01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:03,479 Speaker 4: and realized the fact that he had five wide receiver drops, 1582 01:15:03,800 --> 01:15:05,320 Speaker 4: and I went back and reviewed the tape. They were 1583 01:15:05,320 --> 01:15:07,920 Speaker 4: straight to him, just came down. So five of them 1584 01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:10,439 Speaker 4: were straight out drops. Five of them came from pressure 1585 01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:13,439 Speaker 4: where DTR rifled it through the end zone, passed the 1586 01:15:13,479 --> 01:15:16,240 Speaker 4: field goal post, knew the pressure was coming up the middle, 1587 01:15:16,479 --> 01:15:19,040 Speaker 4: had no problems making a quick decision and firing it 1588 01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:23,000 Speaker 4: through the end zone. I was encouraged by what I 1589 01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:25,800 Speaker 4: saw out of DTR. He did let loose once in 1590 01:15:25,840 --> 01:15:27,760 Speaker 4: the run game and went and you know, high need 1591 01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:30,000 Speaker 4: somebody in the face. But I think what we need 1592 01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:31,840 Speaker 4: to take away from that game is the four two 1593 01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:34,839 Speaker 4: five defense of Jerry as a narrow. On the Redemption 1594 01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:37,679 Speaker 4: Tour this year, after finishing one hundred and twenty first 1595 01:15:37,720 --> 01:15:42,360 Speaker 4: from defensive rushing success rate, they stuffed ten of nineteen 1596 01:15:42,680 --> 01:15:45,880 Speaker 4: Hawaii rushing attempts, a fifty two percent stuff right when 1597 01:15:45,920 --> 01:15:50,120 Speaker 4: the national average is like twenty something percent, So very impressive. 1598 01:15:50,120 --> 01:15:54,719 Speaker 4: There By the four to five defense, Usilee looked pissed off. 1599 01:15:55,040 --> 01:15:58,360 Speaker 4: The Warriors averaged two point two yards on passing downs. Uh, 1600 01:15:58,439 --> 01:16:01,000 Speaker 4: every UCLA hat was around the foot ball for every tackle. 1601 01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:02,920 Speaker 4: This team was fired up. I expect it to be 1602 01:16:02,960 --> 01:16:04,679 Speaker 4: the same, and they didn't really have that many fans 1603 01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:07,400 Speaker 4: in the stadium. It wasn't really an environment for hot 1604 01:16:07,439 --> 01:16:10,400 Speaker 4: college football, but you see they came to play. So 1605 01:16:10,720 --> 01:16:14,080 Speaker 4: you know, I think what we see out of UCLA 1606 01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:16,880 Speaker 4: that's going to continue. We're going to continue to see 1607 01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:19,240 Speaker 4: a defense that is pissed off on a redemption tour 1608 01:16:19,280 --> 01:16:21,360 Speaker 4: to prove that they have something to go. The focus 1609 01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:23,880 Speaker 4: really is on LSU and you mentioned all everything, even 1610 01:16:23,920 --> 01:16:25,760 Speaker 4: the freshman wide receiver that was going to be lining 1611 01:16:25,840 --> 01:16:27,720 Speaker 4: up on the opposite side of Kayshawn Booty. You know, 1612 01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:29,640 Speaker 4: they needed to find another receiver or else. You know, 1613 01:16:29,640 --> 01:16:31,559 Speaker 4: they're going to be able to just focus in on 1614 01:16:31,640 --> 01:16:34,640 Speaker 4: Booty and that's where Max Johnson lefty. Max Johnson was 1615 01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:37,040 Speaker 4: just going to focus all his time throwing out to Booty. 1616 01:16:37,080 --> 01:16:39,080 Speaker 4: But now they don't have a lot of answers outside 1617 01:16:39,120 --> 01:16:42,320 Speaker 4: of that, and they need John Emery, who I mean, 1618 01:16:42,360 --> 01:16:44,920 Speaker 4: let's review John Emery's career here. Guy is super fast, 1619 01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:47,280 Speaker 4: super elusive, and he almost won the job from Clyde 1620 01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:50,599 Speaker 4: Edwards lar back in twenty nineteen. He didn't get the job, 1621 01:16:50,960 --> 01:16:53,200 Speaker 4: but he's still there at the program with LSU. But 1622 01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:56,280 Speaker 4: this offensive line has had injuries all through camp. Now, 1623 01:16:57,040 --> 01:16:58,840 Speaker 4: a lot of these guys that had injuries that were 1624 01:16:58,920 --> 01:17:02,240 Speaker 4: dinged up, the Eli Ricks at corner, Derek Stingley at corner, 1625 01:17:02,320 --> 01:17:05,680 Speaker 4: a lot of offensive linemen. They had three days of 1626 01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:08,400 Speaker 4: practice in Houston after they bust over. They all played, 1627 01:17:08,880 --> 01:17:13,479 Speaker 4: so they're all expected to play. So will that hurt 1628 01:17:13,520 --> 01:17:16,519 Speaker 4: them to start this game especially after UCLA is just 1629 01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:20,400 Speaker 4: you know, running around the field like they robbed a bank. 1630 01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:24,719 Speaker 4: So we'll see, you know, game speed if it takes LSU, 1631 01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:28,559 Speaker 4: especially on the offensive line. But the whole feeling, I 1632 01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:31,080 Speaker 4: think people need to really backtrack on this LSU team. 1633 01:17:31,439 --> 01:17:34,400 Speaker 4: The goal of this season was to bring Jake Pets in. 1634 01:17:34,680 --> 01:17:37,160 Speaker 4: Jake Pets is a new offensive coordinator. He had one 1635 01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:40,479 Speaker 4: season as a quarterbacks coach under Joe Brady who's the 1636 01:17:40,520 --> 01:17:44,120 Speaker 4: offensive coordinator at Carolina and was the passing game coordinator 1637 01:17:44,120 --> 01:17:45,960 Speaker 4: and is the reason for the national championship along with 1638 01:17:46,040 --> 01:17:48,960 Speaker 4: Joe Burrow. So anyways, Jake Pets is now in never 1639 01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:51,920 Speaker 4: been an offensive coordinator in his life. Comes in, fired up, 1640 01:17:51,960 --> 01:17:56,000 Speaker 4: flipping tables, got everything going on. But Miles Brennan is 1641 01:17:56,080 --> 01:17:58,400 Speaker 4: the quarterback that he wanted. Miles Brnnan is the one 1642 01:17:58,439 --> 01:17:59,920 Speaker 4: that could throw it deep. He's the one that could 1643 01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:03,559 Speaker 4: or what accurate, and Max Johnson doesn't have that long 1644 01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:06,200 Speaker 4: of an arm. Max Johnson does not have that kind 1645 01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:10,240 Speaker 4: of accuracy. And Max Johnson, the defense won every scamrange, 1646 01:18:10,280 --> 01:18:15,479 Speaker 4: and Johnson was making throws, bad decisions, crowded pockets, even 1647 01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:17,759 Speaker 4: when there's like he's not even being allowed to be touched. 1648 01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:21,000 Speaker 4: He was making bad decisions. So I would keep my 1649 01:18:21,040 --> 01:18:23,800 Speaker 4: eyes open for Grant Newsmyer. This is a kid that 1650 01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:27,880 Speaker 4: threw up massive numbers at quarterback freshman quarterback for LSU. 1651 01:18:28,040 --> 01:18:29,880 Speaker 4: I'm not saying he's gonna save this game or save 1652 01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:33,320 Speaker 4: LSU season, but I would not be surprised whatsoever if 1653 01:18:33,400 --> 01:18:36,599 Speaker 4: Newsmyer is in there playing pretty quick, if Max Johnson 1654 01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:38,960 Speaker 4: isn't able to get it together. Now on the defensive 1655 01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:41,519 Speaker 4: side of the ball, Edo said he's going to focus 1656 01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:44,120 Speaker 4: on Deronte Jones's, you know, play calling and scheming. They're 1657 01:18:44,160 --> 01:18:47,280 Speaker 4: moving to a four to three. The linebackers have some 1658 01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:51,360 Speaker 4: serious talent. But the more I did some digging, I 1659 01:18:51,400 --> 01:18:53,880 Speaker 4: really got uncomfortable with what I read out of LSU. 1660 01:18:54,360 --> 01:18:56,240 Speaker 4: And so when you look at that defensive line, which 1661 01:18:56,280 --> 01:19:00,760 Speaker 4: is important because Zach Sharbonay, Britton Brown and d When 1662 01:19:00,800 --> 01:19:04,439 Speaker 4: you look at this LSU defensive line, you look at 1663 01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:07,559 Speaker 4: Ali Gay and Andre Anthony were returning to the edge positions. 1664 01:19:07,560 --> 01:19:10,200 Speaker 4: They had four hundred and fifty snaps last year. Gay 1665 01:19:10,320 --> 01:19:13,920 Speaker 4: had continued issues with mistackles and setting contained on the edge. 1666 01:19:14,280 --> 01:19:16,280 Speaker 4: That's where they're going to attack in the rushing game. 1667 01:19:16,720 --> 01:19:18,400 Speaker 4: And then if you look at Anthony, he struggled in 1668 01:19:18,439 --> 01:19:21,400 Speaker 4: generating a pass coverage. He just he created only sixteen 1669 01:19:21,479 --> 01:19:25,280 Speaker 4: hurries and three hundred opponent drop back passes. So when 1670 01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:27,360 Speaker 4: the passing comes, you can bet the DTR is going 1671 01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:30,080 Speaker 4: to be looking in the way of where Anthony is, 1672 01:19:30,120 --> 01:19:31,360 Speaker 4: and when they run, it's going to be in the 1673 01:19:31,400 --> 01:19:33,320 Speaker 4: way of where Gay is because he can't set contain, 1674 01:19:33,400 --> 01:19:35,960 Speaker 4: you can't keep players and keep it inside the tackles. 1675 01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:39,800 Speaker 4: So when you look further into the defensive tackles, they're 1676 01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:42,840 Speaker 4: starting a true freshman now, albeit he's like a five star, 1677 01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:47,639 Speaker 4: six foot six goliath of a guy at defensive tackle. 1678 01:19:47,920 --> 01:19:51,000 Speaker 4: Mason Smith, true freshman, just a monster. But I mean 1679 01:19:51,280 --> 01:19:53,920 Speaker 4: this is his first game ever in the in the 1680 01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:58,080 Speaker 4: Rose Bowl, after being displaced out of Baton Rouge and 1681 01:19:58,120 --> 01:20:01,760 Speaker 4: then bus riding to Houston to LA. His first game 1682 01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:03,800 Speaker 4: is in the Rose Bowl. I mean that's got to 1683 01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:05,439 Speaker 4: be daunting. I don't care if you're six six and 1684 01:20:06,320 --> 01:20:08,479 Speaker 4: the size of a mountain. I mean that's something to 1685 01:20:08,479 --> 01:20:10,600 Speaker 4: pay attention to. But you know, Neil Ferrell struggled with 1686 01:20:10,640 --> 01:20:13,559 Speaker 4: gap integrity last year. You know, he's one of the 1687 01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:17,240 Speaker 4: defensive tackles that I'm sure dtr and company are aiming 1688 01:20:17,280 --> 01:20:20,280 Speaker 4: to run straight at. I expect UCLA to rush a 1689 01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:23,720 Speaker 4: lot at Ferrell in between the tackles, using misdirection to 1690 01:20:23,800 --> 01:20:27,719 Speaker 4: confuse Gay on the outside contain challenging the true freshman 1691 01:20:27,800 --> 01:20:29,960 Speaker 4: in his first game ever in the Rose Bowl. This 1692 01:20:30,120 --> 01:20:32,400 Speaker 4: was a pick that I made back in July when 1693 01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:34,920 Speaker 4: Week one lines were put out. I'm not backing off 1694 01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:36,280 Speaker 4: of it. I would still buy it at two and 1695 01:20:36,320 --> 01:20:38,960 Speaker 4: a half and I can almost ninety nine point nine 1696 01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:41,800 Speaker 4: percent guarantee unless injuries come through. This is going to 1697 01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:43,679 Speaker 4: be a part of our money line round Robin Parley 1698 01:20:43,680 --> 01:20:44,559 Speaker 4: on the Saturday Show. 1699 01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:50,680 Speaker 2: Yes, sir, all right, Before we move on to our 1700 01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:53,120 Speaker 2: havoc round, a quick reminder to our listeners.

All right, let's get back to the show. 1716 01:21:36,840 --> 01:21:39,400 Speaker 2: Let's get to our havoc ground. Just name, you know, 1717 01:21:39,640 --> 01:21:42,160 Speaker 2: throw out a couple bets and reason or two why 1718 01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:46,360 Speaker 2: I'll start here. I wrote both of these games up 1719 01:21:46,840 --> 01:21:48,799 Speaker 2: on the action of work Cap and went really in depth, 1720 01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:51,599 Speaker 2: so I urge you to check them out. I went 1721 01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:55,679 Speaker 2: into each team's offense and defense and special teams and trenches. 1722 01:21:55,720 --> 01:21:58,240 Speaker 2: There anything you can think of, and that's Texas Tech 1723 01:21:58,360 --> 01:22:02,320 Speaker 2: Houston who play at and our Houston I played plus 1724 01:22:02,479 --> 01:22:04,840 Speaker 2: one and a half. I make them about a field 1725 01:22:04,840 --> 01:22:08,280 Speaker 2: goal a little more than a favorite against Texas Tech. 1726 01:22:08,720 --> 01:22:11,680 Speaker 2: I think that Houston, look, they've had two years and 1727 01:22:11,840 --> 01:22:14,559 Speaker 2: a very similar situation with the coaches, right Matt Well's 1728 01:22:14,640 --> 01:22:18,320 Speaker 2: year three, two disappointing years, Dana Holgerson year three, two 1729 01:22:18,360 --> 01:22:21,599 Speaker 2: disappointing years. But I think Houston has had a lot 1730 01:22:21,640 --> 01:22:24,960 Speaker 2: more excuses, right that Derek King at their brutal scheduled transfer, 1731 01:22:24,960 --> 01:22:26,960 Speaker 2: They had all those transfers that they're four weeks two 1732 01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:31,200 Speaker 2: years ago. Last year, injuries COVID, you know, they had 1733 01:22:31,240 --> 01:22:33,599 Speaker 2: eight games I think canceled, are postponed. They didn't even 1734 01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:36,000 Speaker 2: start until middle of October. This is the year I 1735 01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:38,800 Speaker 2: think it all comes together. They did lose two players 1736 01:22:38,840 --> 01:22:40,320 Speaker 2: of the NFL and the defense side the wall, but 1737 01:22:40,360 --> 01:22:43,440 Speaker 2: they bring everyone else back, They bring in some intriguing transfers, 1738 01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:48,320 Speaker 2: and I ultimately just don't look, there's so much going 1739 01:22:48,360 --> 01:22:52,160 Speaker 2: on with this Texas Tech team. You know, you have 1740 01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:54,599 Speaker 2: a new offensive coordinator and Sunny Company who's coming in. 1741 01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:57,200 Speaker 2: You have a new quarterback, Tyler Schuck who's coming in 1742 01:22:57,240 --> 01:23:00,960 Speaker 2: from Oregon. They have two new receivers, starting running back 1743 01:23:01,000 --> 01:23:04,000 Speaker 2: Strodgrick Thompsons, who led them in rushing the past two years. 1744 01:23:04,160 --> 01:23:06,880 Speaker 2: He might not play he's banged up. There's a lot 1745 01:23:06,960 --> 01:23:09,160 Speaker 2: going on the defense. They think it's going to be better. 1746 01:23:09,360 --> 01:23:11,439 Speaker 2: It's a lot of experience. They have more supersedens than 1747 01:23:11,479 --> 01:23:14,080 Speaker 2: anyone in the Big twelve. But there's a lot going 1748 01:23:14,080 --> 01:23:16,200 Speaker 2: on here Houston. I think the offense is going to 1749 01:23:16,240 --> 01:23:19,360 Speaker 2: be great. I think Clayton Tune in his fourth year, 1750 01:23:19,800 --> 01:23:23,040 Speaker 2: his first full off season, you know, without interruptions, as 1751 01:23:23,040 --> 01:23:27,120 Speaker 2: the known starter in that Holgerson air raid with a 1752 01:23:27,240 --> 01:23:31,280 Speaker 2: very experienced now offensive line, I think is gonna be good. 1753 01:23:31,360 --> 01:23:33,400 Speaker 2: And I think this is Houston team has a lot 1754 01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:36,559 Speaker 2: of sleeper potential. I think that they should be favored 1755 01:23:36,600 --> 01:23:39,639 Speaker 2: here by at least a field goal over Texas Tech. 1756 01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:41,439 Speaker 2: I still have questions about that defense. They just can't 1757 01:23:41,439 --> 01:23:43,760 Speaker 2: get to the quarterback, which then you know and none 1758 01:23:43,800 --> 01:23:47,000 Speaker 2: that you lose your your all Big twelve cornerback who 1759 01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:49,120 Speaker 2: went into the NFL draft and you gotta replace him, 1760 01:23:49,160 --> 01:23:51,840 Speaker 2: and so this they used to can attack this defense. 1761 01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:54,000 Speaker 2: Houston also has a special team's edge. The other one 1762 01:23:54,240 --> 01:23:58,120 Speaker 2: Georgia State Army Noon gotta get my Army game out there. 1763 01:23:58,360 --> 01:24:02,000 Speaker 2: I love Georgia State, now Army. What this comes down 1764 01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:04,799 Speaker 2: to is and I played Georgia State money line. The 1765 01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:07,639 Speaker 2: line came down to two. It's a field goal isn't 1766 01:24:07,640 --> 01:24:09,800 Speaker 2: as important in the Service Academy game. They like to 1767 01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:11,439 Speaker 2: go for it and fourth downs. I could see either 1768 01:24:11,439 --> 01:24:12,960 Speaker 2: one of these teams go for two at the end. 1769 01:24:13,320 --> 01:24:15,400 Speaker 2: But Georgia State. I love this team. I played season 1770 01:24:15,439 --> 01:24:19,280 Speaker 2: win total over. Their defense is improving. The question in 1771 01:24:19,360 --> 01:24:21,360 Speaker 2: this game is and they bring back every one in 1772 01:24:21,400 --> 01:24:23,080 Speaker 2: their offense. They bring back all eleven starters from a 1773 01:24:23,120 --> 01:24:28,120 Speaker 2: record setting offense for their their program. They have great receivers, 1774 01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:30,840 Speaker 2: the offensive line, everything is great on this offense. They're 1775 01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:33,320 Speaker 2: gonna score. I think the defense is trending up. They 1776 01:24:33,320 --> 01:24:36,719 Speaker 2: have a really good corner, really good safety, and entire defense. 1777 01:24:36,800 --> 01:24:39,720 Speaker 2: These two teams played two similar offenses, three four defenses. 1778 01:24:39,760 --> 01:24:43,240 Speaker 2: Aggressive is to shut down the run and to get 1779 01:24:43,240 --> 01:24:45,880 Speaker 2: to the quarterback. For you, you look at their sack 1780 01:24:45,960 --> 01:24:48,720 Speaker 2: rates and tackle for loss last year. Georgia staking really 1781 01:24:48,760 --> 01:24:51,760 Speaker 2: good afters. But the question becomes can they stop the 1782 01:24:51,760 --> 01:24:55,320 Speaker 2: triple option? And they did lose a lot of talent 1783 01:24:55,360 --> 01:24:58,679 Speaker 2: at linebacker. The sack leader from last year transferred out. 1784 01:24:58,840 --> 01:25:02,160 Speaker 2: They lost two others to graduations. That's the cap versus 1785 01:25:02,160 --> 01:25:05,000 Speaker 2: an Army team that lost four offensive linemen. They only 1786 01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:09,400 Speaker 2: bring their center back. Army used to replacing offensive linemen. 1787 01:25:09,680 --> 01:25:11,360 Speaker 2: You know, turnover isn't as big of a deal for 1788 01:25:11,400 --> 01:25:15,680 Speaker 2: service academies. But they have a million cornerback quarterbacks. They 1789 01:25:15,680 --> 01:25:18,000 Speaker 2: have two listed as the starters going into this year. 1790 01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:21,000 Speaker 2: But I actually think Georgia State linebacker will be fine. 1791 01:25:21,040 --> 01:25:23,120 Speaker 2: You know, they return a starter from two years ago. 1792 01:25:24,160 --> 01:25:26,360 Speaker 2: You know, they have a couple a SEC transfers coming in. 1793 01:25:26,400 --> 01:25:27,920 Speaker 2: That's the cap for me. I think their linebacks will 1794 01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:30,800 Speaker 2: be fine. Extra preparation time here to prepare for the 1795 01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:34,360 Speaker 2: triple option Army five and eleven against the spread and 1796 01:25:34,439 --> 01:25:38,759 Speaker 2: season openers. That speaks to that extra preparation you get. Plus, 1797 01:25:38,880 --> 01:25:42,559 Speaker 2: Georgia State has seen the triple option before they see 1798 01:25:42,560 --> 01:25:44,439 Speaker 2: it with their rival Georgia Southern. Oh and guess what 1799 01:25:44,479 --> 01:25:47,200 Speaker 2: they played Army in twenty nineteen. They beat them twenty 1800 01:25:47,200 --> 01:25:49,800 Speaker 2: eight to twenty one at home. I think Georgia State 1801 01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:52,040 Speaker 2: opens this season with win. It won't be easy. These 1802 01:25:52,040 --> 01:25:54,559 Speaker 2: are high variance, low possession games. When Georgia State won 1803 01:25:54,600 --> 01:25:56,960 Speaker 2: that game, they only had six possessions. In twenty nineteen 1804 01:25:57,000 --> 01:25:59,520 Speaker 2: against Army, It's six possessions all game. They'scored four touchdowns, 1805 01:26:00,680 --> 01:26:02,640 Speaker 2: and ant Laane, who's still on the team, had the 1806 01:26:02,680 --> 01:26:06,080 Speaker 2: game stealing interception against Army. So a lot of those 1807 01:26:06,120 --> 01:26:07,720 Speaker 2: guys that were on the team now we're on that 1808 01:26:07,720 --> 01:26:09,519 Speaker 2: team in twenty nineteen. They see the option in Georgia 1809 01:26:09,560 --> 01:26:12,640 Speaker 2: Southern extra time to prepare for it. I think that 1810 01:26:12,840 --> 01:26:16,160 Speaker 2: they'll get enough stops here, and look, Army has a 1811 01:26:16,160 --> 01:26:18,880 Speaker 2: pretty good secondary this year, especially for Army standards, but 1812 01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:21,960 Speaker 2: Georgia State receivers are excellent. I think that they will 1813 01:26:21,960 --> 01:26:23,920 Speaker 2: make enough plays and find a way to win this game. 1814 01:26:23,960 --> 01:26:26,479 Speaker 2: Georgia State money line, what do you got through out 1815 01:26:26,479 --> 01:26:27,240 Speaker 2: a couple bets? 1816 01:26:27,560 --> 01:26:29,479 Speaker 4: Yeah, let's go quick here. I mean I wrote up 1817 01:26:29,479 --> 01:26:31,559 Speaker 4: North Carolina Virginia Tech. I like the under in that game. 1818 01:26:31,600 --> 01:26:34,160 Speaker 4: I am not a believer in Brax and Burmeister Sam 1819 01:26:34,320 --> 01:26:36,360 Speaker 4: Howell does have new weapons. He's got to take a 1820 01:26:36,360 --> 01:26:37,760 Speaker 4: while to figure that out. So whether you want to 1821 01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:40,439 Speaker 4: split that up into first half or full game, I 1822 01:26:40,479 --> 01:26:43,559 Speaker 4: am not intimidated by enter Sandman, and I don't believe 1823 01:26:43,600 --> 01:26:47,759 Speaker 4: that North Carolina will be either fishy line, very fishy line, 1824 01:26:47,800 --> 01:26:50,639 Speaker 4: taking a ton of North Carolina money, yet it will 1825 01:26:50,680 --> 01:26:52,640 Speaker 4: not come off and jump up above that five and 1826 01:26:52,680 --> 01:26:55,040 Speaker 4: a half. So keep your eyes out there. Moving on 1827 01:26:55,080 --> 01:26:57,760 Speaker 4: to Saturday, I've already taken Marshall, took him on the 1828 01:26:57,760 --> 01:26:59,360 Speaker 4: money line. I'd take him again at minus two and 1829 01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:02,000 Speaker 4: a half. Charles Huff maybe one of the best hires 1830 01:27:02,600 --> 01:27:07,160 Speaker 4: in college football coming out of Alabama. Praise listen Navy 1831 01:27:07,240 --> 01:27:09,840 Speaker 4: in the first game of the season. This is sort 1832 01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:12,400 Speaker 4: of tough go here for them for their defense going 1833 01:27:12,439 --> 01:27:14,880 Speaker 4: up against this Marshall rushing attack. At the same turn, 1834 01:27:15,560 --> 01:27:17,760 Speaker 4: Marshall's going to be able to play. You know, they 1835 01:27:17,800 --> 01:27:20,200 Speaker 4: know how to play gaff integrity defense. I have no 1836 01:27:20,280 --> 01:27:23,040 Speaker 4: issues about them going up against the triple option. And 1837 01:27:23,120 --> 01:27:27,320 Speaker 4: more importantly, Navy's worse than the nation at pressuring quarterbacks. 1838 01:27:27,320 --> 01:27:28,920 Speaker 4: And if you're going to give Grant Well's time in 1839 01:27:28,960 --> 01:27:31,479 Speaker 4: a pocket, he's going to hit everybody alive. He's proven 1840 01:27:31,520 --> 01:27:34,920 Speaker 4: that before. UMass Pittsburgh may not be on a lot 1841 01:27:34,920 --> 01:27:39,759 Speaker 4: of people's radar, but I can guarantee, I can guarantee 1842 01:27:39,800 --> 01:27:43,400 Speaker 4: you that Mark Whipple is sitting around his house just 1843 01:27:43,479 --> 01:27:46,280 Speaker 4: waiting for kickoff. To this game after he was at 1844 01:27:46,360 --> 01:27:51,080 Speaker 4: allegations fired. Quit did not end pretty at UMass and 1845 01:27:51,080 --> 01:27:54,400 Speaker 4: I can and there was problems with them leaving the 1846 01:27:54,439 --> 01:27:58,040 Speaker 4: MAC going independent, Whipple having issues with that, Whipple having 1847 01:27:58,040 --> 01:28:01,800 Speaker 4: allegations I watched at Pittsburgh, Watch that pit UMass game, 1848 01:28:01,840 --> 01:28:03,479 Speaker 4: watch those numbers. I think the over is probably the 1849 01:28:03,520 --> 01:28:06,920 Speaker 4: appropriate play because I don't see Whipple stopping there, still 1850 01:28:06,920 --> 01:28:08,880 Speaker 4: going down the board on Saturday. Tell me why San 1851 01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:12,000 Speaker 4: Jose State, Nick Starkle, can't beat usc Tell me why 1852 01:28:12,040 --> 01:28:13,960 Speaker 4: you would back an air raid offense in game one 1853 01:28:13,960 --> 01:28:16,400 Speaker 4: of the season when there have been injuries and timing 1854 01:28:16,479 --> 01:28:19,120 Speaker 4: and all that stuff that comes along with Graham Harrell 1855 01:28:19,200 --> 01:28:21,760 Speaker 4: and Kadan Slovas. I don't see any reason why San 1856 01:28:21,840 --> 01:28:24,000 Speaker 4: Jose State can't keep up here, So give me some 1857 01:28:24,040 --> 01:28:26,360 Speaker 4: of that. Keep your eyes on the Oregon State perdue number. 1858 01:28:26,400 --> 01:28:28,719 Speaker 4: I took the over earlier in the week at sixty six. 1859 01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:31,400 Speaker 4: That number up to sixty nine now at win bet. 1860 01:28:31,520 --> 01:28:33,679 Speaker 4: There is some weather in the forecast that is rising, 1861 01:28:33,720 --> 01:28:35,439 Speaker 4: and if that gets higher there could be a buyout 1862 01:28:35,439 --> 01:28:38,200 Speaker 4: by me, especially if he gets into the seventies. Akron 1863 01:28:38,240 --> 01:28:42,760 Speaker 4: Auburn Tian Dollard officially not on the Akron roster. So 1864 01:28:43,160 --> 01:28:47,040 Speaker 4: I yeah, yeah, I mean, we can't bet the Zips 1865 01:28:47,040 --> 01:28:51,639 Speaker 4: this year at all, Zips, And I think what's most important, 1866 01:28:51,840 --> 01:28:55,080 Speaker 4: by the way, I think what's most important here is 1867 01:28:55,080 --> 01:28:57,240 Speaker 4: that Brian Harrison is going to want to make an 1868 01:28:57,280 --> 01:28:59,880 Speaker 4: impression in his first game, and he is known for 1869 01:29:00,280 --> 01:29:03,720 Speaker 4: getting quarterbacks to improve on their explosiveness and success rate. 1870 01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:08,800 Speaker 2: They bow Nicks season then pull effect. 1871 01:29:10,120 --> 01:29:12,880 Speaker 4: They pulled bo Nicks out out of the game. Guess 1872 01:29:12,880 --> 01:29:15,639 Speaker 4: what TJ. Finley can light it up to. So covering 1873 01:29:15,720 --> 01:29:17,679 Speaker 4: the spread or the over is definitely on the table. 1874 01:29:18,080 --> 01:29:22,599 Speaker 4: UTSA meet me going up against victorious Illinois, who's probably 1875 01:29:22,680 --> 01:29:25,920 Speaker 4: only thought about this big win against Nebraska. Uh, these 1876 01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:29,360 Speaker 4: are gonna be two ground heavyweights punching each other in 1877 01:29:29,400 --> 01:29:31,559 Speaker 4: the face. And if you're gonna give me that situation, 1878 01:29:31,600 --> 01:29:34,080 Speaker 4: I'm gonna take Cinceer McCormick all day. Now. They do 1879 01:29:34,200 --> 01:29:36,760 Speaker 4: not have the trench to hang with Illinois. I can't 1880 01:29:36,760 --> 01:29:39,000 Speaker 4: believe I'm saying that about Illinois after just one game. 1881 01:29:39,080 --> 01:29:42,639 Speaker 4: But this is still a UTSA team with a bunch 1882 01:29:42,640 --> 01:29:44,840 Speaker 4: of recruits that weren't good enough to play in Power five, 1883 01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:45,760 Speaker 4: which they'll probably be. 1884 01:29:45,640 --> 01:29:47,599 Speaker 2: Just the under Illinois games all year. 1885 01:29:48,200 --> 01:29:50,920 Speaker 4: Probably a good play. I do like UTSA to challenge 1886 01:29:50,960 --> 01:29:54,680 Speaker 4: their Florida and Florida Atlantic. I believe the quote from 1887 01:29:54,760 --> 01:29:57,680 Speaker 4: Dan Mullen was, we paid Florida Atlantic one point five 1888 01:29:57,720 --> 01:29:59,559 Speaker 4: million to play this game. You better bet we're gonna 1889 01:29:59,560 --> 01:30:02,480 Speaker 4: get every pin out of this. So I another overlean 1890 01:30:02,560 --> 01:30:04,920 Speaker 4: there Kent in Texas A and M. There's not going 1891 01:30:04,960 --> 01:30:06,360 Speaker 4: to be a pre game. I don't care what this 1892 01:30:06,439 --> 01:30:08,960 Speaker 4: number flirts out with Kent. You can't convince me that 1893 01:30:09,000 --> 01:30:11,000 Speaker 4: after the first quarter of this game that liveline is 1894 01:30:11,040 --> 01:30:13,320 Speaker 4: not going to be thirty eight or forty. So that's 1895 01:30:13,360 --> 01:30:15,800 Speaker 4: what I'll be looking for live on game day. So 1896 01:30:15,880 --> 01:30:17,960 Speaker 4: you can't convince me that you know, Kent isn't going 1897 01:30:18,040 --> 01:30:20,200 Speaker 4: to be live around forty one in the second quarter, 1898 01:30:20,200 --> 01:30:22,000 Speaker 4: which for me will be a good time to fire. 1899 01:30:22,479 --> 01:30:25,400 Speaker 4: The total is getting up there for a team that 1900 01:30:25,560 --> 01:30:27,559 Speaker 4: moves as slow as Texas A and M. They do 1901 01:30:27,600 --> 01:30:29,960 Speaker 4: have explosive weapons, but they should not be in the 1902 01:30:29,960 --> 01:30:32,080 Speaker 4: game past the second quarter. So then you're gonna rely 1903 01:30:32,160 --> 01:30:33,800 Speaker 4: on second and third stringers from A and M to 1904 01:30:33,840 --> 01:30:35,920 Speaker 4: help out with that sixty seven. I think the better 1905 01:30:35,960 --> 01:30:37,559 Speaker 4: plays to wait for Kent State to get into the 1906 01:30:37,600 --> 01:30:39,280 Speaker 4: forties live and then come in on that because they're 1907 01:30:39,280 --> 01:30:40,320 Speaker 4: going to play through the fourth quarter. 1908 01:30:41,000 --> 01:30:43,320 Speaker 2: All right, there you have for the havoc round. Let's 1909 01:30:43,400 --> 01:30:45,639 Speaker 2: move on to FC Yes or. 1910 01:30:45,600 --> 01:30:58,559 Speaker 3: No, Southland or SEC, Big Sky or Big Ten. It's 1911 01:30:58,640 --> 01:31:01,320 Speaker 3: time to play see Yes or No. 1912 01:31:06,040 --> 01:31:08,280 Speaker 2: Pick one game con that you want to talk about 1913 01:31:08,320 --> 01:31:11,120 Speaker 2: featuring an FCS team. I'll start. I gotta mention Iowa State, 1914 01:31:11,200 --> 01:31:14,320 Speaker 2: Northern Iowa. Here, look, Iowa State. We know that they're 1915 01:31:14,360 --> 01:31:21,320 Speaker 2: notorious slow starters. Facing Northern Iowa week one before playing Iowa, 1916 01:31:21,720 --> 01:31:24,120 Speaker 2: which they who they play next week. They've lost five 1917 01:31:24,280 --> 01:31:26,240 Speaker 2: times in a row. It's gonna go a long way 1918 01:31:26,240 --> 01:31:28,160 Speaker 2: in determining their season if they can final either their 1919 01:31:28,200 --> 01:31:30,599 Speaker 2: six point favorites next week. But here's what's happened when 1920 01:31:30,640 --> 01:31:33,200 Speaker 2: they played in Northern Iowa and FCS school in the 1921 01:31:33,240 --> 01:31:37,320 Speaker 2: opener before playing Iowa. It's happened three times in Campbell's air. 1922 01:31:37,840 --> 01:31:40,320 Speaker 2: They lost out right in twenty sixteen twenty five to 1923 01:31:40,320 --> 01:31:45,400 Speaker 2: twenty as twenty three point favorites. Twenty seventeen, they rebounded 1924 01:31:45,400 --> 01:31:48,839 Speaker 2: won forty two to twenty four's ten point favorites. Twenty nineteen, 1925 01:31:49,520 --> 01:31:52,040 Speaker 2: they won twenty nine to twenty six in triple overtime, 1926 01:31:52,680 --> 01:31:55,840 Speaker 2: so they have not necessarily came out here and taken 1927 01:31:55,880 --> 01:31:58,160 Speaker 2: care of business. And I didn't even mentioned in twenty eighteen, 1928 01:31:58,800 --> 01:32:01,519 Speaker 2: late in the season they beat Drake twenty seven to 1929 01:32:01,560 --> 01:32:04,759 Speaker 2: twenty four. They were favored by forty and a half points, 1930 01:32:05,200 --> 01:32:08,559 Speaker 2: so I would state very slow starters. They haven't blown 1931 01:32:08,600 --> 01:32:13,320 Speaker 2: out these in state little brother FCS teams. Now. I 1932 01:32:13,360 --> 01:32:17,520 Speaker 2: think it's going to be a big point of emphasis 1933 01:32:17,560 --> 01:32:20,960 Speaker 2: on starting fast right Iowa State this year, So I 1934 01:32:20,960 --> 01:32:24,120 Speaker 2: wouldn't be surprised if they come out and roll in 1935 01:32:24,160 --> 01:32:26,519 Speaker 2: this first half. I mean history suggests they won't, but 1936 01:32:26,600 --> 01:32:30,040 Speaker 2: if they do, I'm on Northern Iowa on the second half, 1937 01:32:30,080 --> 01:32:34,680 Speaker 2: competent FCS team, and I don't expect. I would state, 1938 01:32:34,680 --> 01:32:35,960 Speaker 2: what is Iowa State have to work on with the 1939 01:32:35,960 --> 01:32:38,920 Speaker 2: ioland next week health? That's it. I mean, this is 1940 01:32:38,920 --> 01:32:40,880 Speaker 2: a team as much experience as anyone in the country. 1941 01:32:40,880 --> 01:32:43,400 Speaker 2: They know their defense, it's rock birdy priests all, I mean, 1942 01:32:43,880 --> 01:32:46,960 Speaker 2: the offensive, everything's back right, all the coaches, There's nothing 1943 01:32:46,960 --> 01:32:49,280 Speaker 2: to really work on. So the second half, I don't 1944 01:32:49,280 --> 01:32:51,559 Speaker 2: expect them to do anything if they have a big lead. 1945 01:32:51,640 --> 01:32:54,040 Speaker 2: Northern Iowa second half is to look there. I wouldn't 1946 01:32:54,040 --> 01:32:55,920 Speaker 2: even hate looking at Northern Iowa plus thirty one and 1947 01:32:55,960 --> 01:32:57,760 Speaker 2: a half. By the way, based on what I would 1948 01:32:57,760 --> 01:32:59,080 Speaker 2: state is done in these spots, I am just a 1949 01:32:59,120 --> 01:33:01,120 Speaker 2: little afraid of just the year they finally are like, 1950 01:33:01,120 --> 01:33:03,320 Speaker 2: all right, we're all about starting fast, and they come 1951 01:33:03,360 --> 01:33:05,120 Speaker 2: out and they finally put up thirty in the first 1952 01:33:05,160 --> 01:33:07,160 Speaker 2: half and go up thirty nothing. I don't know, but 1953 01:33:07,200 --> 01:33:09,559 Speaker 2: that's that's a look there. What I throw out a 1954 01:33:09,560 --> 01:33:11,200 Speaker 2: game featuring an FCS team. 1955 01:33:11,280 --> 01:33:13,439 Speaker 4: I'm gonna go too quick, ones, real quick. Friday night, 1956 01:33:13,640 --> 01:33:18,280 Speaker 4: Saint Francis against Eastern Michigan. Eastern Michigan is going to 1957 01:33:18,360 --> 01:33:21,040 Speaker 4: field probably the worst defensive backfield in all of the 1958 01:33:21,080 --> 01:33:23,720 Speaker 4: MAC and Saint Francis is one percent passed with two 1959 01:33:23,760 --> 01:33:26,439 Speaker 4: of the best wide receivers in their respective conference in FCS. 1960 01:33:26,760 --> 01:33:28,600 Speaker 4: I like to over end that game, and then I 1961 01:33:28,680 --> 01:33:32,639 Speaker 4: believe all eyes on Saturday have to be on our 1962 01:33:33,280 --> 01:33:35,160 Speaker 4: Campbell Camels. 1963 01:33:35,160 --> 01:33:40,000 Speaker 2: The Campbell University Campbell's from Booey's Creek, North Carolina, MA. 1964 01:33:45,160 --> 01:33:48,120 Speaker 4: Check it out if you were not around last week. 1965 01:33:48,160 --> 01:33:51,759 Speaker 4: The lastyear's podcast, The Campbell Campbell's return. Every single starter 1966 01:33:51,880 --> 01:33:55,880 Speaker 4: except for one twenty returning starters, including quarterback Hodje Malik 1967 01:33:55,960 --> 01:34:01,559 Speaker 4: Williams going up against Liberty absolutely has got to be 1968 01:34:01,880 --> 01:34:05,280 Speaker 4: the G five FCS game Watch of the week. Win 1969 01:34:05,400 --> 01:34:08,000 Speaker 4: Bet yet to put out a spread we're expecting somewhere 1970 01:34:08,000 --> 01:34:11,439 Speaker 4: in the twenties. I'm not sure how serious Liberty is 1971 01:34:11,439 --> 01:34:13,200 Speaker 4: gonna take this game with Troy on deck. Troy is 1972 01:34:13,200 --> 01:34:14,960 Speaker 4: a very decent team. How much of the you know, 1973 01:34:15,040 --> 01:34:18,040 Speaker 4: game plan if they installed. I would assume Hugh Freeze 1974 01:34:18,080 --> 01:34:20,799 Speaker 4: is taking Campbell seriously considering what they did and covered 1975 01:34:21,200 --> 01:34:23,519 Speaker 4: I think in three straight before finally, I think they 1976 01:34:23,520 --> 01:34:26,040 Speaker 4: played four games in twenty six days last year, which 1977 01:34:26,080 --> 01:34:29,280 Speaker 4: they kind of fizzled out at the very end. So definitely, 1978 01:34:29,280 --> 01:34:32,439 Speaker 4: for me, a must watch from a very experienced and 1979 01:34:33,680 --> 01:34:36,800 Speaker 4: talented group of Campbell going up against a Liberty team. 1980 01:34:37,360 --> 01:34:38,720 Speaker 4: I don't know if you can have a what's called 1981 01:34:38,720 --> 01:34:41,240 Speaker 4: a look ahead to Troy, but you have to think 1982 01:34:41,240 --> 01:34:43,559 Speaker 4: they've already started installing the game plan for their first 1983 01:34:43,600 --> 01:34:44,719 Speaker 4: FBS game next week. 1984 01:34:45,240 --> 01:34:48,519 Speaker 2: What is there roll humps is that the slogan roll humps, 1985 01:34:49,680 --> 01:34:50,160 Speaker 2: roll hump. 1986 01:34:51,640 --> 01:34:54,880 Speaker 4: If we can get one voicemail in on the Campbell 1987 01:34:54,920 --> 01:34:57,599 Speaker 4: Campbell's it make me happy. Because God, I love. 1988 01:34:57,439 --> 01:34:59,880 Speaker 2: That they saw a Campbell store fat. By the way 1989 01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:03,120 Speaker 2: their humps, you know that, not water fat, That's what 1990 01:35:03,200 --> 01:35:12,599 Speaker 2: that is. Yep. Come home, all right, before we get 1991 01:35:12,600 --> 01:35:14,720 Speaker 2: out of here, we have a little robust three and out. 1992 01:35:14,800 --> 01:35:18,200 Speaker 2: Let's go three and out. 1993 01:35:18,560 --> 01:35:20,679 Speaker 3: Let's make it a quick three and out. 1994 01:35:21,960 --> 01:35:24,280 Speaker 2: Sunday night. We have Sunday Night college football this week, 1995 01:35:24,640 --> 01:35:29,960 Speaker 2: prime time in Tallahassee. Notre Dame at Florida State at 1996 01:35:29,960 --> 01:35:33,040 Speaker 2: Winding Bet. Notre Dame is a floating between a seven 1997 01:35:33,160 --> 01:35:35,880 Speaker 2: seven and a half point favorite today, probably right around 1998 01:35:35,880 --> 01:35:38,160 Speaker 2: a seven point favorite when you're listening to this tomorrow. 1999 01:35:38,520 --> 01:35:41,600 Speaker 2: I played Florida State plus seven and a half. I 2000 01:35:41,680 --> 01:35:44,559 Speaker 2: make this line like four and a half five. Getting 2001 01:35:44,560 --> 01:35:47,599 Speaker 2: over a touchdown is really important. I think Florida State 2002 01:35:47,720 --> 01:35:49,799 Speaker 2: is going to be really improved this year. The biggest 2003 01:35:49,840 --> 01:35:51,519 Speaker 2: question mark on that on their team. I mean, look, 2004 01:35:51,680 --> 01:35:54,559 Speaker 2: Mike Norvell came in last year in a nightmare situation 2005 01:35:54,640 --> 01:35:57,400 Speaker 2: and new offense coordinator, new defensive quarter in the COVID year, 2006 01:35:57,800 --> 01:35:59,960 Speaker 2: expect a bump. Just you know, he had a full off. 2007 01:36:00,280 --> 01:36:02,080 Speaker 2: This is the guy who knows how to get offense going. 2008 01:36:02,320 --> 01:36:03,760 Speaker 2: The biggest problem in the last couple of years. I 2009 01:36:03,840 --> 01:36:06,040 Speaker 2: mean recruiting his shred off. The has been culture problems, 2010 01:36:06,240 --> 01:36:08,840 Speaker 2: but it's been the offensive line. I actually like, you know, 2011 01:36:08,840 --> 01:36:10,760 Speaker 2: I don't mind the offensive line. This year they brought 2012 01:36:10,760 --> 01:36:12,800 Speaker 2: in a Notre Dame, A transfer from Notre Dame. Is 2013 01:36:12,800 --> 01:36:15,200 Speaker 2: gonna start a card you know, love tailor the transfer 2014 01:36:15,240 --> 01:36:17,800 Speaker 2: from my FIU very good offensive line got hurt last 2015 01:36:17,840 --> 01:36:20,640 Speaker 2: year November. He's back. Uh, then you had they were 2016 01:36:20,640 --> 01:36:24,680 Speaker 2: starting four freshmen last year, set their centers back. He 2017 01:36:24,800 --> 01:36:28,160 Speaker 2: was a freshman All American and their two tackles were 2018 01:36:28,280 --> 01:36:31,760 Speaker 2: now a redshirt freshman had redford freshman or freshman true 2019 01:36:31,800 --> 01:36:34,680 Speaker 2: freshman All American honors in certain publications, I think the 2020 01:36:34,680 --> 01:36:37,519 Speaker 2: offensive line is gonna take a big step forward this year. 2021 01:36:38,040 --> 01:36:42,920 Speaker 2: And I haven't listened their quarterback yet, so it's it's uh, 2022 01:36:42,920 --> 01:36:44,800 Speaker 2: they're gonna it's I don't know what it's gonna be. It's 2023 01:36:44,800 --> 01:36:47,280 Speaker 2: gonna be Kenzie Bilton. Is it gonna be Jordan Travis. 2024 01:36:47,320 --> 01:36:50,519 Speaker 2: I think they're gonna start with Jordan Travis. The novella 2025 01:36:50,600 --> 01:36:52,840 Speaker 2: likes a running quarterback, but you're gonna see Milton in there. 2026 01:36:53,400 --> 01:36:57,320 Speaker 2: And the defense I expect to be a little better 2027 01:36:57,360 --> 01:37:00,120 Speaker 2: and noted book. Notre Dame has four offensive linemen. They 2028 01:37:00,120 --> 01:37:01,360 Speaker 2: were on their teamless year. They are now in the 2029 01:37:01,439 --> 01:37:03,680 Speaker 2: NFL and they lost the im book and now you 2030 01:37:03,760 --> 01:37:06,880 Speaker 2: have Jack Conell not a huge fan of questions that 2031 01:37:06,920 --> 01:37:10,880 Speaker 2: they're on the outside at wide receiver. It's the team 2032 01:37:10,880 --> 01:37:12,680 Speaker 2: that lost a lot of production from last year. We 2033 01:37:12,680 --> 01:37:16,280 Speaker 2: were a little lower on Notre Dame. To give Brian 2034 01:37:16,360 --> 01:37:18,719 Speaker 2: Kelly credit, this Notre Dame team has won like thirty 2035 01:37:19,120 --> 01:37:20,880 Speaker 2: five straight games and they've been a favorite of a 2036 01:37:20,880 --> 01:37:23,240 Speaker 2: touchdown more. They've been really good in this spot and 2037 01:37:23,560 --> 01:37:25,320 Speaker 2: they've been really good at taking care of the teams 2038 01:37:25,640 --> 01:37:28,120 Speaker 2: that they should beat. But I think Florida State is 2039 01:37:28,160 --> 01:37:30,040 Speaker 2: live here. I mean Milton coming in, They're gonna honor 2040 01:37:30,080 --> 01:37:32,320 Speaker 2: Bobby Balden before the games. Would be a lot of 2041 01:37:32,439 --> 01:37:33,000 Speaker 2: energy here. 2042 01:37:33,640 --> 01:37:35,200 Speaker 4: Welcome aboard Slugger. 2043 01:37:35,640 --> 01:37:38,639 Speaker 2: Finally a little bit of optimism around this Florida State team. 2044 01:37:38,880 --> 01:37:41,840 Speaker 2: I think they start fast and this I just this 2045 01:37:41,920 --> 01:37:45,960 Speaker 2: Notre Dame team just doesn't to me have blowout potential 2046 01:37:46,240 --> 01:37:49,160 Speaker 2: with this offense. And I like, I think the Florida 2047 01:37:49,200 --> 01:37:51,479 Speaker 2: State offensive line is going to be really improved this year, 2048 01:37:51,479 --> 01:37:52,960 Speaker 2: and I think that's gonna be the key. I think 2049 01:37:52,960 --> 01:37:55,000 Speaker 2: this is a sense up being a close game throughout. 2050 01:37:55,160 --> 01:37:57,920 Speaker 2: So I like Florida State. If you can get seven, yeah, 2051 01:37:58,200 --> 01:37:59,760 Speaker 2: you can get over seven for sure. What do you 2052 01:37:59,760 --> 01:38:00,799 Speaker 2: got If. 2053 01:38:00,640 --> 01:38:02,880 Speaker 4: You're listening to this late on Thursday night as I'm 2054 01:38:02,920 --> 01:38:05,800 Speaker 4: staring at my Christmas tree screen, I think we're gonna 2055 01:38:05,800 --> 01:38:07,280 Speaker 4: get a six and a half before the night's over 2056 01:38:07,439 --> 01:38:09,200 Speaker 4: by the time you wake up on Friday morning. So 2057 01:38:09,840 --> 01:38:11,840 Speaker 4: listen everything. I agree with everything Stuck said, and I'm 2058 01:38:11,880 --> 01:38:13,760 Speaker 4: on the Florida State side. I bought it at ten 2059 01:38:13,880 --> 01:38:16,240 Speaker 4: way long se Fields Fields like eons Ago, I buy 2060 01:38:16,280 --> 01:38:18,000 Speaker 4: it again at seven. I probably buy it again at 2061 01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:20,519 Speaker 4: six and a half. I believe in Florida State and 2062 01:38:20,560 --> 01:38:22,880 Speaker 4: Mike Norville. Year two. He's able to have his full 2063 01:38:22,920 --> 01:38:25,400 Speaker 4: training camp, he's able to have spring practice, He's able 2064 01:38:25,439 --> 01:38:27,680 Speaker 4: to install everything he wants to do. He's had a 2065 01:38:27,720 --> 01:38:29,880 Speaker 4: year of transfer portal, he's had a year of cleaning 2066 01:38:29,920 --> 01:38:31,880 Speaker 4: house and getting what he wants in there. And what 2067 01:38:31,920 --> 01:38:34,960 Speaker 4: he did at Memphis was nothing short of miraculous, you know, 2068 01:38:35,000 --> 01:38:37,960 Speaker 4: going to the Cotton Bowl and challenging some of the 2069 01:38:37,960 --> 01:38:40,960 Speaker 4: best Power five teams. So I have believe in Mike Norvel. 2070 01:38:41,120 --> 01:38:44,040 Speaker 4: I know that you know, there can be things with 2071 01:38:44,040 --> 01:38:46,120 Speaker 4: Florida State that are toxic in nature that keep them 2072 01:38:46,120 --> 01:38:49,719 Speaker 4: from succeeding on the field. But Travis is an explosive runner. 2073 01:38:50,479 --> 01:38:52,880 Speaker 4: If you get anything out of McKenzie Milton whatsoever, that's 2074 01:38:52,880 --> 01:38:55,280 Speaker 4: just an additional bonus in my opinion. But let's talk 2075 01:38:55,320 --> 01:38:56,960 Speaker 4: about the real handicap in this game, and that is 2076 01:38:57,000 --> 01:38:58,799 Speaker 4: the fact that clerk Lee is no longer the defensive 2077 01:38:58,800 --> 01:39:02,479 Speaker 4: coordinator at Notre Dame Vanderbilt. The defensive coordinator not being there, 2078 01:39:02,479 --> 01:39:04,240 Speaker 4: They're going to a new scheme of three three five 2079 01:39:04,280 --> 01:39:07,479 Speaker 4: with Marcus Freeman. That's going to be successful someday, but 2080 01:39:07,600 --> 01:39:10,559 Speaker 4: right now you are one of the lowest ranking teams 2081 01:39:10,600 --> 01:39:13,479 Speaker 4: in terms of tarp transfer activity and returning production. I 2082 01:39:13,479 --> 01:39:15,320 Speaker 4: think Flora Say can win the game, so I would. 2083 01:39:15,320 --> 01:39:17,479 Speaker 4: I would take the spread. I would probably grab it. 2084 01:39:17,479 --> 01:39:19,320 Speaker 4: It looks like money is going to continue to come in. 2085 01:39:19,560 --> 01:39:21,200 Speaker 4: I would get Florida State best I could, but there 2086 01:39:21,200 --> 01:39:21,839 Speaker 4: will be buyback. 2087 01:39:22,320 --> 01:39:24,120 Speaker 2: Well for Monday, we have Monday Light Lights, but you're 2088 01:39:24,120 --> 01:39:27,320 Speaker 2: probably gonna forget about all this and Monday there's one game. 2089 01:39:27,320 --> 01:39:29,040 Speaker 2: Colin wrote up the game, so make sure you check 2090 01:39:29,040 --> 01:39:32,120 Speaker 2: out the action app and Actionnework dot Com for his 2091 01:39:32,240 --> 01:39:34,600 Speaker 2: article and his play on that game. Let's move on 2092 01:39:34,600 --> 01:39:36,920 Speaker 2: to second down. When we're talking about our favorite overdog 2093 01:39:37,560 --> 01:39:40,480 Speaker 2: and our underdog moneyline parlay. 2094 01:39:40,360 --> 01:39:42,000 Speaker 4: It's called the overdog parlay. 2095 01:39:42,240 --> 01:39:44,320 Speaker 2: By the way, overdog. We found out for those now 2096 01:39:44,360 --> 01:39:46,519 Speaker 2: familiar someone called us and was like, why do you 2097 01:39:46,600 --> 01:39:50,040 Speaker 2: need to bet more overdogs? And they meant like the underdog, 2098 01:39:50,080 --> 01:39:52,080 Speaker 2: and we found out overdog is actually like an actual 2099 01:39:52,200 --> 01:39:54,679 Speaker 2: term that was used lay back in the day. Anyway, 2100 01:39:54,760 --> 01:39:57,559 Speaker 2: now we call them overdog. So favorite favorite on the board, 2101 01:39:58,479 --> 01:40:01,200 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Nebraska. It's forty one I think 2102 01:40:01,240 --> 01:40:06,880 Speaker 2: I saw against Fordham. Just by look, Fordham has a 2103 01:40:06,880 --> 01:40:08,679 Speaker 2: pretty good quarterback to throw up some number. They didn't 2104 01:40:08,680 --> 01:40:11,240 Speaker 2: play las year. They through three games in the fall. 2105 01:40:11,400 --> 01:40:14,040 Speaker 2: They can't run the ball, for shit, so they can 2106 01:40:14,520 --> 01:40:17,519 Speaker 2: throw it around a little bit. But yeah, that's playing 2107 01:40:17,560 --> 01:40:20,240 Speaker 2: right into the hands of the strength of Nebraska's defense. 2108 01:40:21,160 --> 01:40:26,320 Speaker 2: Fordham's not going to slow down Nebraska. Also, Nebraska, I 2109 01:40:26,320 --> 01:40:28,679 Speaker 2: than Fordham's special teams are one of the worst special 2110 01:40:28,680 --> 01:40:30,920 Speaker 2: teams in the country at the FCS level. They were 2111 01:40:30,960 --> 01:40:33,800 Speaker 2: horrendous in the spring. So Nebraska has met its match. 2112 01:40:34,680 --> 01:40:37,639 Speaker 2: They're with all their special teams mistakes. I think Nebraska 2113 01:40:37,720 --> 01:40:39,280 Speaker 2: needs to come out here and they need to just 2114 01:40:39,400 --> 01:40:41,280 Speaker 2: they need to win this game. Fifty eight nothing. I mean, 2115 01:40:41,280 --> 01:40:42,479 Speaker 2: they don't need to do anything, and I think that 2116 01:40:42,479 --> 01:40:44,880 Speaker 2: Scott Frost wants to do it. He's just getting mocked. 2117 01:40:45,080 --> 01:40:46,719 Speaker 2: I think they just keep their foot on the gas 2118 01:40:46,720 --> 01:40:48,600 Speaker 2: the entire time and then they'll be able to just 2119 01:40:48,720 --> 01:40:51,959 Speaker 2: run it against Fordam. They'll overpower them in the trenches. 2120 01:40:52,479 --> 01:40:54,639 Speaker 2: It's an angry Nebraska team that I don't think will 2121 01:40:54,680 --> 01:40:57,360 Speaker 2: let up this week. I think it's a pretty good matchup, 2122 01:40:57,640 --> 01:41:00,559 Speaker 2: So I'll throw out Nebraska favorite favorite for you. 2123 01:41:01,040 --> 01:41:03,519 Speaker 4: I'm gonna go to Texas minus eight. This is a 2124 01:41:03,600 --> 01:41:05,880 Speaker 4: number I don't believe is going to get any lower. 2125 01:41:05,920 --> 01:41:07,439 Speaker 4: I waited as long as I could to get seven. 2126 01:41:07,479 --> 01:41:09,640 Speaker 4: If if it ends up going down to seven, then 2127 01:41:09,640 --> 01:41:11,439 Speaker 4: it's definitely worth another buye. If you hit it once, 2128 01:41:11,479 --> 01:41:14,320 Speaker 4: I'll hit it again. This is a roster that is 2129 01:41:14,800 --> 01:41:17,360 Speaker 4: loaded with talent, and they've never had the right pilot 2130 01:41:17,400 --> 01:41:19,960 Speaker 4: at the ship. Now they have Steve Sarkisian who went 2131 01:41:19,960 --> 01:41:23,040 Speaker 4: out and built a great staff, getting Phil Kwakowski from 2132 01:41:23,120 --> 01:41:25,080 Speaker 4: Washington come in and run the defense. This is a 2133 01:41:25,080 --> 01:41:28,360 Speaker 4: Texas team that continually struggles with injury because Tom Herman 2134 01:41:28,439 --> 01:41:31,439 Speaker 4: worked them over too hard, continually struggles with tackling because 2135 01:41:31,439 --> 01:41:34,320 Speaker 4: they were fundamentally not prepared for games. This is a 2136 01:41:34,320 --> 01:41:37,439 Speaker 4: different era with Steve Sarkisian in at Texas, and there 2137 01:41:37,520 --> 01:41:39,680 Speaker 4: is a major talent gap. When you look down to 2138 01:41:39,720 --> 01:41:42,200 Speaker 4: Louisiana Lafayette, A lot of betters are going to get 2139 01:41:42,240 --> 01:41:44,000 Speaker 4: into this game and get into the spread. I think 2140 01:41:44,040 --> 01:41:47,559 Speaker 4: they already have because what happened last year, and considering that, 2141 01:41:47,680 --> 01:41:50,160 Speaker 4: you know, Louisiana there was a little bit in their 2142 01:41:50,240 --> 01:41:52,040 Speaker 4: numbers suggests they got a little bit lucky with some 2143 01:41:52,080 --> 01:41:54,719 Speaker 4: of their games. They eventually did not have a Sunbelt 2144 01:41:54,800 --> 01:41:57,960 Speaker 4: Conference championship game against Coastal Carolina where I feel like, 2145 01:41:58,000 --> 01:42:01,080 Speaker 4: you know, they probably would have lost. Listen, Billion Napier 2146 01:42:01,200 --> 01:42:04,160 Speaker 4: is not at the level of Power five coaches. There 2147 01:42:04,240 --> 01:42:06,880 Speaker 4: is a huge mismatch, not just on the field, but 2148 01:42:06,960 --> 01:42:09,880 Speaker 4: also in the coaching ranks because Billion Napier continues to 2149 01:42:09,920 --> 01:42:12,920 Speaker 4: interview for jobs in the SEC with Tennessee South Carolina. 2150 01:42:13,080 --> 01:42:15,120 Speaker 4: This happens year after year and he never gets the job. 2151 01:42:15,160 --> 01:42:17,120 Speaker 4: And there's a reason why. It's because he lines up 2152 01:42:17,160 --> 01:42:19,120 Speaker 4: at fourth and two the thirty five yard line decides 2153 01:42:19,120 --> 01:42:22,200 Speaker 4: to run backwards and take a safety. He is one 2154 01:42:22,240 --> 01:42:24,280 Speaker 4: of the most puzzling coaches and someone I don't want 2155 01:42:24,320 --> 01:42:26,479 Speaker 4: to have my money behind. There is a major talent 2156 01:42:26,520 --> 01:42:30,080 Speaker 4: discrepancy on defense. Go horns for one week until you 2157 01:42:30,080 --> 01:42:32,080 Speaker 4: get up to my hogs. I love the Steve sarcusan are. 2158 01:42:32,120 --> 01:42:38,040 Speaker 4: It's gonna start against Louisiana. 2159 01:42:36,360 --> 01:42:41,280 Speaker 3: Turning good weekends into great weekends. It's time for the 2160 01:42:41,439 --> 01:42:42,720 Speaker 3: money line parlay. 2161 01:42:44,080 --> 01:42:47,240 Speaker 2: All right, that's time for our money line underdog parlay. 2162 01:42:47,840 --> 01:42:50,320 Speaker 2: I'm going with Ucla. I make this game a pick. 2163 01:42:50,720 --> 01:42:54,960 Speaker 2: And there are other circumstances surrounding the LSU team that 2164 01:42:55,160 --> 01:42:57,839 Speaker 2: make me one of that. Even more on UCLA, displaced 2165 01:42:57,840 --> 01:43:01,080 Speaker 2: by Hurricane Ida this week really in upted their preparation. 2166 01:43:01,280 --> 01:43:03,320 Speaker 2: You know, on a bus for ten hours to Houston 2167 01:43:03,360 --> 01:43:07,639 Speaker 2: instead of a four hour drive. Injuries, offensive line questions 2168 01:43:07,680 --> 01:43:13,639 Speaker 2: popping up in camp, quarterback and reports are not glowing 2169 01:43:14,320 --> 01:43:17,640 Speaker 2: to be kind, and you know there's a lot of 2170 01:43:17,760 --> 01:43:20,400 Speaker 2: change that LSU has to deal with, new play caller, 2171 01:43:20,520 --> 01:43:24,719 Speaker 2: new defensive coordinator. Ahead of Week one against a known 2172 01:43:24,800 --> 01:43:27,800 Speaker 2: commodity in UCLA, we were really high on them coming 2173 01:43:27,840 --> 01:43:30,000 Speaker 2: into the year still high on them after what I 2174 01:43:30,040 --> 01:43:32,439 Speaker 2: saw last year. I think this is really the year 2175 01:43:32,439 --> 01:43:34,880 Speaker 2: that Chip Kelly takes his team to the next level. 2176 01:43:35,080 --> 01:43:38,200 Speaker 2: I think UCLA pulls off the mini upset. We won't 2177 01:43:38,200 --> 01:43:41,280 Speaker 2: get too crazy in week one of the moneyline underdog parlay. 2178 01:43:41,320 --> 01:43:42,920 Speaker 2: Where you going, Cam, Yeah. 2179 01:43:42,760 --> 01:43:44,560 Speaker 4: You're definitely taking the best one on the board. So 2180 01:43:44,640 --> 01:43:47,200 Speaker 4: that's going to lead me with what we've been saying 2181 01:43:47,240 --> 01:43:50,000 Speaker 4: all preseason, which is we're gonna fade Notre Dame. We're 2182 01:43:50,040 --> 01:43:54,360 Speaker 4: gonna fade Notre Dame without clerkly Tarp below fifty percent 2183 01:43:54,520 --> 01:43:57,439 Speaker 4: in the age of the Super Senior. Notre Dame does 2184 01:43:57,479 --> 01:44:00,000 Speaker 4: not have that. They have a game manager in Jack Cone. 2185 01:44:00,080 --> 01:44:01,600 Speaker 4: They have a bunch of freshmen that aren't ready to 2186 01:44:01,640 --> 01:44:04,599 Speaker 4: play quarterback. They don't have any explosive weapons on the outside. 2187 01:44:04,640 --> 01:44:07,120 Speaker 4: They have talent, but it's not explosive. They do have 2188 01:44:07,160 --> 01:44:11,040 Speaker 4: a tight end, but that's not going to win ball 2189 01:44:11,080 --> 01:44:14,200 Speaker 4: games necessarily, especially when you're going up against teams that 2190 01:44:14,320 --> 01:44:17,599 Speaker 4: have explosiveness at the quarterback position and skill positions and 2191 01:44:17,720 --> 01:44:19,599 Speaker 4: is hungry for desperate for a win, and a second 2192 01:44:19,680 --> 01:44:21,519 Speaker 4: year coach Notre Dame is going to be looking for 2193 01:44:21,560 --> 01:44:23,639 Speaker 4: a lot of answers after this weekend. I like Florida 2194 01:44:23,640 --> 01:44:25,639 Speaker 4: State to win outright, love. 2195 01:44:25,479 --> 01:44:28,280 Speaker 2: It, although I won't stay at Freddy Marcus Friedman slander. 2196 01:44:28,439 --> 01:44:31,200 Speaker 2: But let's move on to third down before we get 2197 01:44:31,240 --> 01:44:32,960 Speaker 2: out of here, and that's our favorite bet of the week. 2198 01:44:33,160 --> 01:44:36,200 Speaker 2: I'll kick things off with a late night game for you, 2199 01:44:36,240 --> 01:44:39,639 Speaker 2: and that's Nevada plus three and a half against Cal. 2200 01:44:39,880 --> 01:44:42,800 Speaker 2: I make this close to a pick, so please give 2201 01:44:42,840 --> 01:44:44,880 Speaker 2: me over a field goal on a game I make 2202 01:44:44,920 --> 01:44:46,559 Speaker 2: a pick on a team that I am high on 2203 01:44:46,840 --> 01:45:00,559 Speaker 2: in Nevada. Carson strong pro prospect at the quarterback position. 2204 01:45:01,200 --> 01:45:03,080 Speaker 2: Third year of the Air Raid. We saw the progress 2205 01:45:03,120 --> 01:45:05,880 Speaker 2: he made last year. I expect that to continue this year. 2206 01:45:06,120 --> 01:45:09,439 Speaker 2: He gets you know, Cooks back at receiver, takes attention 2207 01:45:09,520 --> 01:45:12,200 Speaker 2: away from Dubbs. They have an NFL prospect at tight end. 2208 01:45:12,240 --> 01:45:15,240 Speaker 2: The entire offensive line comes back. I love this Air 2209 01:45:15,360 --> 01:45:17,639 Speaker 2: Raid offense. I think that they're going to be able 2210 01:45:17,640 --> 01:45:19,439 Speaker 2: to score. Now you know it's going to be a 2211 01:45:19,439 --> 01:45:21,760 Speaker 2: respectable Cal defense on the other side of the ball. 2212 01:45:22,040 --> 01:45:24,080 Speaker 2: Return a lot of experience on that four to two 2213 01:45:24,120 --> 01:45:27,439 Speaker 2: five defense for Nevada led by Don Peterson. They're finally 2214 01:45:27,520 --> 01:45:30,800 Speaker 2: starting to build some bulk. It's not a great defense, 2215 01:45:31,240 --> 01:45:33,080 Speaker 2: but I think it'll be able to hold its own 2216 01:45:33,080 --> 01:45:35,680 Speaker 2: and get enough stops against the cal offense that I 2217 01:45:35,800 --> 01:45:38,880 Speaker 2: just don't trust to get down the field. They don't 2218 01:45:38,920 --> 01:45:41,720 Speaker 2: have enough deep targets to stretch out and take advantage 2219 01:45:42,040 --> 01:45:45,559 Speaker 2: of this Nevada defense. I like the Nevada special teams 2220 01:45:45,600 --> 01:45:49,200 Speaker 2: as well special teams mentioned. I think this game is 2221 01:45:49,240 --> 01:45:50,559 Speaker 2: a pick. I think Nevada is going to find a 2222 01:45:50,560 --> 01:45:52,560 Speaker 2: way to win. But give me Nevada plus three and 2223 01:45:52,600 --> 01:45:57,040 Speaker 2: a half. Go pack what you got is your favorite bet? 2224 01:45:57,280 --> 01:45:58,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, my favorite bet of the week is going to 2225 01:45:58,640 --> 01:46:01,320 Speaker 4: be Kansas State. There are two many questions with Stanford, 2226 01:46:01,400 --> 01:46:03,639 Speaker 4: especially with David Shaw and the system that he runs 2227 01:46:03,680 --> 01:46:06,360 Speaker 4: in the Pac twelve. It's slow, it uses a lot 2228 01:46:06,360 --> 01:46:09,160 Speaker 4: of fullbacks, it uses a lot of tight ends. It 2229 01:46:09,240 --> 01:46:11,880 Speaker 4: has to be successful in moving the chains because it's 2230 01:46:11,920 --> 01:46:14,599 Speaker 4: not very explosive, and they're going to go up against 2231 01:46:14,600 --> 01:46:17,800 Speaker 4: a fully healthy Kansas State team and that was really 2232 01:46:17,800 --> 01:46:21,759 Speaker 4: the problem. This is another explosive team that has Skyler Thompson. 2233 01:46:22,120 --> 01:46:24,320 Speaker 4: They're gonna get some backup play from Will Howard and 2234 01:46:24,360 --> 01:46:26,120 Speaker 4: then Deuce Vaughn, and you're going to put them on 2235 01:46:26,200 --> 01:46:28,720 Speaker 4: the turf down in Jerry World in Arlington, which is 2236 01:46:28,720 --> 01:46:30,479 Speaker 4: the advantage of the team that is faster, and that 2237 01:46:30,560 --> 01:46:33,360 Speaker 4: is obviously Kansas State. When Kansas State is at full health, 2238 01:46:33,360 --> 01:46:35,760 Speaker 4: they are better than Stanford, a Pac twelve team that 2239 01:46:35,920 --> 01:46:38,639 Speaker 4: is I mean a win total that just came down crashing. 2240 01:46:38,760 --> 01:46:40,800 Speaker 4: They have not filled in the recruits. This is not 2241 01:46:40,880 --> 01:46:43,080 Speaker 4: the trenches that they've had years ago with Stanford, and 2242 01:46:43,120 --> 01:46:45,040 Speaker 4: they don't have the tight ends and the wide receivers 2243 01:46:45,240 --> 01:46:47,120 Speaker 4: from years past where they can just do a tip 2244 01:46:47,200 --> 01:46:50,000 Speaker 4: drill to themselves into the end zone. Stanford is going 2245 01:46:50,040 --> 01:46:52,200 Speaker 4: to come down crashing hard this season. Their pace of 2246 01:46:52,240 --> 01:46:55,439 Speaker 4: play is too slow, their offense is too prehistoric, and 2247 01:46:55,560 --> 01:46:57,439 Speaker 4: Kansas State is going to give them a rude wakening 2248 01:46:57,680 --> 01:46:58,960 Speaker 4: down in Jerry World. 2249 01:46:59,280 --> 01:47:02,360 Speaker 2: All Right, there, I have it.
