48
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: your podcast. And I'm gonna talk about Tennessee in this monologue,

49
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna hit the rundown in a second. Let's

50
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: go ahead, and let's go ahead, do the rundown. Now.

51
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about Tennessee and how they've risen

52
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: and what Josh Hypel's doing over there in the trajectory

53
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: of them, and where I see them going even with

54
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: the NCAA stuff over their head. But there's something else

55
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to in a second that just is

56
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 1: bothering me beyond imagination. Ross Dellinger from Sports Illustrator is

57
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: going to join us. We're gonna talk a little LSU

58
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: coaching search. Everybody's saying, Jimbo Fisher still here we go.

59
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: Can't wait for everybody to be let down. We'll just

60
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: continue to talk about it. I guess. Then we're gonna

61
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: give our twelve team playoff, which is probably my favorite

62
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: thing we do all week other than taken questions from

63
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: the Booster Club. Gonna put our top twelve teams in there,

64
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: and we're gonna see how it would divvy out if

65
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: some certain people and conferences would get out of the

66
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: way and let us expand the playoff. You know it'd

67
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: be nice. Then Tom lukan Bill is going to join us.

68
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: He thinks Caleb Williams has a chance to win the Heisman.

69
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about the Heisman finalist who has opportunities

70
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: left a lot of it's about opportunities. Then our sec

71
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: power rankings the East. I think you're gonna like. I

72
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: think you're gonna like what we do with the East.

73
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: And then we're gonna give our picks. We got maction tonight,

74
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: three games. I'm taking two bets and I'll give you

75
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: a hint. Let's go Eastern Michigan. Let's do it. Boys, Eagles, Eagles,

76
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: help me, help us, help all of us in me.

77
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: But first before I get to Tennessee, I you know,

78
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: I've got to talk about this because we're to a

79
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: point now and I think it's trolling. I think it's

80
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: gotta be trolling. You know, yesterday talking with Timmy B

81
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: we had that hit, heated interview about Cincinnati and them

82
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: in Alabama, and he thinks Cincinnati would beat Alabama. I

83
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: obviously disagree. And while I think that argument is very

84
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: far fetched and very fringe that since now you would

85
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: have a chance to compete or beat Alabama, I think

86
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: there's a little bit maybe of merit to it. But

87
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: what I saw today and I'm not going to call

88
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: him out live you know who it is a very

89
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: reputable and credible college in sports news source put out

90
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: their tiers today in college football, and you know, I

91
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: take what we do very seriously. It's something that we've

92
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: chose to do with our lives. And to me, there's

93
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: arguments and there's debates and not that nothing can be

94
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: talked about. Echo chambers will be the death of us

95
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: all and so will group think. But in those tiers

96
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: you had Georgia tier one, we can agree with it.

97
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 1: In Tier two you had Ohio State, Cincinnati in Oklahoma.

98
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: A lot to digest there, yea. But my biggest problem

99
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: is in tier three, When you, as a legitimate, credible

100
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: and reputable source, put UTSA in Alabama in the same tier,

101
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: you know, there's stuff that I can argue about. There's

102
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: stuff that we can debate about and be on totally

103
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: different sides. To me, it's a joke. It's a joke.

104
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: It's it's gotta be a troll. Because if you're telling

105
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: me that UTSA and Alabama are on the same level,

106
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: then there's a bridge in Brooklyn and some beachfront property

107
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: in Kansas that I could sell you for a great price.

108
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: And if we're to the point now and again, I

109
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: still think it's a troll where we're going to start

110
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: saying that UTSA And if that's where we're going to,

111
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: then why then why are we here? How would we

112
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: ever know who is really good at this? How do

113
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: we ever know? Because if we're just gonna say stuff

114
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: that's not true just to be cool or get clicks

115
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: or whatever. And obviously you want clicks, we want clicks,

116
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: we want views, we want downloads. But it run it

117
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: the right way. And when you sit there and tell me,

118
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: and you want to look me in the eye, and

119
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: there's no way they were serious when they put those

120
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: tears out or that tweet up. It's almost a mockery

121
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: to anybody that understands anything about the game of cultural

122
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: or watches. I feel like, if you know how many

123
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: players can be on the field with each team on

124
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: offensive defense, then you should know that UTSA and Alabama

125
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: aren't the same tier. And that's not a knock on UTSA.

126
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: It's just the truth. It's just the truth. If you

127
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: want to have an argument about Cincinnati and some of

128
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: these other teams, we can have it. But the minute

129
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: you look me in the eye and say and Jeff

130
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: Trailer and UTSA, it's an amazing story. He's one of

131
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: the hottest names in coaching right now. But if you're

132
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: gonna look me in the eye and be serious and

133
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: tell me that Jeff Trailer and Nick Saban have a

134
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: team on the same level, that's a non starter for me.

135
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: I won't do it. I won't do it. And I'm

136
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: down to argue basically anything, but it's a waste of

137
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: my time, it's a waste of the fans time, it's

138
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: a waste of the audience time. Why don't just come

139
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: with you? Why why this guy just why can't this

140
00:06:55,120 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: guy be green? Why can't pigs fly, why sweet tea

141
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: good on a hot southern afternoon, because it just is.

142
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: It just is. But if you put Utsa on the

143
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: same level tear, put him in the same corner of

144
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: the same cupboard, you're making yourself. You're making it impossible

145
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: to argue against it because it's such a bad argument.

146
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: It's so bad. It's so bad that we're having to

147
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: take time out of our day. The last two days,

148
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: I've had to compare Lsu and Tulsa and Utsa in Bama.

149
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be shocked if Leo DiCaprio ran in here

150
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: with a briefcase screaming about dreams, putting a drado and

151
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: spin it on the table and seeing if it falls.

152
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: I'm about to that point. He just whists us away

153
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: on a helicopter as we're getting shot at by men

154
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: in suits, saying we're in a dream within a dream,

155
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: within a dream. It blows my mind that that's a legit.

156
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: You would legitimately put that out. You can never say

157
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: that it's not clickbait, because if there's nobody that actually

158
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: deep down believes that outside are probably Utsa's players, coaches, wives,

159
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: friends and family teammates, friends and family, and maybe some

160
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: alumni that are hardcore, and you know what, good for

161
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: them they should, But for us, with the platform we have,

162
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: I promise you that will never be put out here.

163
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: I will not say something just because it's going to

164
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: get some hot reaction on anything. I may have hot

165
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: takes that I believe that I can back up with

166
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: facts that I back up with facts because I live

167
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: in the real world. UTSA unbelievable job by Jeff Trailer.

168
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: Bama would beat them to sleep, but it's almost making

169
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: a mockery and at that point I won't argue it.

170
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 1: I won't debate it. I won't talk about because it's

171
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: not worth talking about. You know what I'm and I'm

172
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 1: old enough to remember yesterday when you asked him Brando

173
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: about UTSA and he said bringing that up was beneath you.

174
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, we see them rank above Oregon

175
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: and Michigan, Michigan State, which proves that this faction, okay,

176
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: of the college football media can't even get on the

177
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: same page. They can't. You know what a wise man

178
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: Michael Caine once told me personally, Okay, some men just

179
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: want to watch the world. Okay, this is not serious. Look,

180
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: can you can settle this easy? In the words of

181
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: Meek Mill, Look, there's levels of this, Yeah there is.

182
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: There's there's levels, But that to me, it's just that

183
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: there's I understand having fringe arguments twelve team playoff. Let's

184
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: talk about Utsa sneaking in there. We can talk about that.

185
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. We can actually have that argument

186
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: in a twelve team playoff. But the minute, the minute,

187
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: you know, how about you have Duke go play won

188
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 1: the high schools down here in basketball, Let's just put

189
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: him in the sane tier because I guess it doesn't matter.

190
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: I guess it really doesn't matter anymore. It's not being

191
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 1: able to make a full throated, debatable argument. Just Hey,

192
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 1: what's gonna piss people off. No one on this show

193
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: here is saying just because you are a big brand

194
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: and withdraw to a playoff game means that you're one

195
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: of the best four teams. No one is saying here

196
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: that just because you have won a championship in the

197
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: past that you're one of the best. We're watching every

198
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: single game, we're reviewing every single game, and we're just

199
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: calling it like we see it. And I'm telling you,

200
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: eighties across the country are paying attention right now, because

201
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: if you were let's say Ohio State this year, why

202
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: would you have scheduled Oregon? No scheduled act. That's exactly unbeaten.

203
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: That's why now falls apart and we would have missed

204
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't length. Then this is the last thing that

205
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to say about it. You know the best

206
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: part about technology in twenty twenty one, in the barrier

207
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: of entry, we can all watch the game to watch them.

208
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: We don't have to just rely on well, this national

209
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: guy watch this, or this guy watch that. Wee can

210
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 1: watch them. If I want to watch a Sunbelt game,

211
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: there's a way I can do that. If I want

212
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: to watch a game out on the West Coast that

213
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: may not be as big as the others are, the

214
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: way I can do it. And then the people that

215
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: actually watch them that no one understand are starting to

216
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: figure this out a little bit. You either know it

217
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: are you fake it? Like Drake said on the album,

218
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: only real music is gonna last. All this other BS

219
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: is here today and gone tomorrow, and that's what it is.

220
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: But I want to talk about something that isn't BS,

221
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: something that's real and I'll talk about what Josh Hypel's

222
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: doing at Tennessee right now, and I'll be the first

223
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 1: one to come on here in our Tennessee fans, and

224
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to the Booster Club and a second,

225
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 1: our Tennessee fans will tell you I'm I was critical

226
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: of the depth of Tennessee's defense running the system that

227
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: they run offensively, and even if you look now, they're

228
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: still giving up a lot of points. I mean, Kentucky

229
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: scored forty two. They were able to outscore people, and

230
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: that's what that's kind of built to do. A good

231
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: defensive outing in the SEC, in my opinion for Josh

232
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: Hypel's defense is giving up thirty or less to me

233
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: when I look at it. But what I see out

234
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: of Tennessee has nothing to do with scheme, nothing to

235
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: do with scheme. A lot of those players are playing

236
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: a lot better than what they are in my opinion,

237
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: across the board, and that is the best compliment not

238
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: only that you can give a head coach, but to

239
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: give a new head coach. Josh Hypel has tapped into

240
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: something in that locker room. And we had Veyless Jones

241
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: on here. A couple of weeks ago, and he talked

242
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: about it. He's tapped into something in that locker room

243
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: that only the really good ones can tap into. And

244
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: that's being genuine. That's the players actually, deep down one

245
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: hundred percent, believing that you give a damn about them,

246
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: that you care about him more than I'm catching a pass,

247
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: running a touchdown, making a tackle, or blocking a kick.

248
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,719
Speaker 1: And once you have that, it doesn't matter if you

249
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 1: run the triple option, it doesn't matter if you run

250
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 1: the air raid, the fun and gun pro style, West

251
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: Coast whatever. That human element is huge, and those guys

252
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 1: are playing their guts out for Josh Hypel. That is

253
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: not an easy system to get in shape four on offense.

254
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: It's not an easy system to stay in shape four

255
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: on defense where you're going again every day in practice.

256
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: And Josh Hypel offensively is it totally unbelievable schimmatical what

257
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: they do know. He took a little bit of what

258
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: Art Briles does with the splits, with the wide receivers.

259
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: They mix it with up tempo. Their playbook isn't huge,

260
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: but it's enough to keep you on your heels and

261
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: if you get stuck in base because they're going fast,

262
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 1: they have the answers to everything you're gonna give them.

263
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: But what Josh Hypel is doing is giving that fan

264
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: base the one thing that they've been begging for, genuine hope,

265
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 1: genuine belief. Because if he can do it with this group,

266
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: with Tennessee gaining momentum and having success, he'll have success

267
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: recruiting to Tennessee. And once they get a little more

268
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: depth on defense and they can start only giving up

269
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: thirty in big games, Tennessee looks like they're slowly becoming

270
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: a problem. And I said, I thought Josh Hypel was

271
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: the coach that you know for the analogy the person

272
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: you date before you find the person you marry. And

273
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 1: I don't know what this NC double A stuff's gonna

274
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: come down. I don't know. I know they declined to

275
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: self impose a bowl band, which means they're either really

276
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: confident or really scared. And it's not of his doing.

277
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 1: But if I'm a Tennessee fan right now and I'm

278
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: sitting back and I'm not only watching the scoreboard, I'm

279
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: watching the way my guys play, I can do nothing

280
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: but be excited. And if you noticed, not schematically or

281
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: not stylistically Tennessee's players are playing a lot more free

282
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: than they ever played under Jeremy pruittt Tennessee. When they

283
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: go out there, not only looks like they're competing hard,

284
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: but they're having fun. They're hitting explosive plays, all the

285
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: stuff that the coaches were telling them. They're starting to

286
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: see it. They've already believed it. But if you want

287
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: to believe in something wholeheartedly, you can take somebody's word

288
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: for it, but then when you see it happen, it

289
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: does something to you. And that's why if I'm foured

290
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: over there and i'm that administration and I'm watching this,

291
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: I may be more worried about Tennessee than I am

292
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: about Georgia, because I don't know if there's a lot

293
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: you can do about Georgia right now. But with what

294
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: Josh Hypel's doing and the momentum that they're gaining in Knoxville,

295
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: it's not because of any play that was drawn up.

296
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: It's not because any blocking assignment that was drawn up,

297
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: any coverage, any blitz anything. It's because those guys in

298
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: that locker room believe one hundred percent in Josh Hypel,

299
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: and Josh Hypel believes one hundred percent, And every guy

300
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: in that locker room and Tennessee for the first time

301
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: in a long time, is moving in one direction, and

302
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: that's the right direction. What do you guys think? I agree,

303
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: hope and believe with players, with players that are good enough,

304
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: it's contagious, right, It's contagious, especially when the older guys,

305
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: and you can just tell by the way they play.

306
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: And if you're an offensive guy with that offense, it

307
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: comes out to recruiting. Why would you not want to go, Oh,

308
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: there's a lot of receivers and you want to find

309
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: the guys and you hit it. These aren't hypeas guys,

310
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: and you can see the growth, especially with Hooker, Oh

311
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: my gosh, anybody. And we've talked a lot about bow

312
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: Nick's growing up during the season, even though it wasn't

313
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: the greatest performance last week. Has any quarterback in the

314
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: SEC made a bigger improvement from when they were put

315
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: in to where they're at now than Hendon Hooker. That

316
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: k game, He's got total control. I think I think

317
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: we may be running into a situation where you have

318
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: the perfect system for a certain player. You know, you

319
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: always try and recruit to your system. You always try

320
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: and personnel to your system, and it works out mainly

321
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: because you know what you're evaluating, but sometimes it is

322
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: a perfect fit. And with Hendon Hooker's running ability with

323
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: the playbook being what it is, with the tempo that

324
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: they operate at, and now his comfortability not only throwing

325
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: the deep ball, not only throwing the intermediate game, the dig,

326
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: but the short game, the quick game. He's spitting those

327
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: screens out and those modified runs in better places now.

328
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: And it's little things that people don't realize. You know,

329
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna throw a now screen outside, I want

330
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: to hit him where he can catch it and make

331
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 1: a move. You look earlier in the year, whether it's

332
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 1: Joe Milton or Hendon Hooker, you're getting the ball back here, Well,

333
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: why the time you turn around to try and see

334
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: where the blocket kills it. Yeah, And as a corner,

335
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 1: as a dB, if you want to stack over each

336
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: other like we see Tennessee do a lot a lot

337
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: of teams run that stack outside with two by two

338
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: and they're gonna spit it to the guy behind in

339
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: the stack corner comes up the press and you have

340
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: the safety behind. Well, the minute, the minute you have

341
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: to turn and rotate your body to catch that ball

342
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: behind that dB should be jumping outside leverage that let's

343
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: the safety come in and fit. But I see that

344
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: as a dB, I'm trained to see that I'm looking

345
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: through the blocker once that ball has left the hand,

346
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: because when I'm in press coverage, my eyes are aware

347
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: because I'm in man on the receiver that's in front

348
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: of me, but I can see through him to that

349
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: next guy. So the minute that I'm here and I

350
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: got my hands on him outside leverage and I see

351
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: you turn that body, I'm rocking you up and walking

352
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: you back because it's timing. It's a milliseconds, it's split

353
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: second for those things to work, and I think sometimes

354
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: we overlook ball placement and letting guys go run. Yeah,

355
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: and it's a little thing. This is a good start, right,

356
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: to have like one side of the ball being taken

357
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: care of, kind of like you've said with Lane Kiffin, Right,

358
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,239
Speaker 1: it's a good start. The question will be, like we

359
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: were talking about with Dan Mullen yesterday and what you've

360
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: always said, the difference with Jimbo Fisher and what Kevin

361
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: Sumlin were doing out at A and M is can

362
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: you take the positive momentum that you've done with having

363
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 1: some answers on offense and actually recreate that for the

364
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: entire program. That'll be the difference whether or not Tennessee

365
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 1: can just win some games that they're not supposed to

366
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 1: write over the next few years, or they can be

367
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: a serious elite team and be a problem for teams

368
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 1: like Georgia and Alabama. And if so, the Tennessee fan

369
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: base will get something they deserve because there's been some

370
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: loyal Tennessee balls who've been waiting for this for a

371
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: long You will you will not find a more loyal

372
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: fan base that has been to more stuff than Tennessee

373
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: and ask us those are two fan bases that hell

374
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: or high water. They've been in there. The Vall Navy

375
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: shows up all the time, and they deserve it. The

376
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: thing with Josh Hypel and I will always go back

377
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 1: to this when you're trying to build a program that

378
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 1: will compete with Georgia and Alabama. We see what A

379
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,479
Speaker 1: and M's doing. Brian Harson's going through the same thing

380
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: as Hypel. I don't care what system you run, can

381
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: you get elite offensive and defensive linemen. It's the only

382
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 1: way you see the difference when Auburn plays against an

383
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 1: elite front seven offensively, they just get big BOYD. It's

384
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 1: just physics, Tennessee. Those guys are playing over their heads.

385
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: Spraggons is playing unbelievable up front for Tennessee. But they

386
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: still don't have the guys that can line up and say,

387
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: all right, Georgia, because what it does, it's a corrector

388
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: and we're gonna bring Ross Tellinger here in a second.

389
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: But having good offensive lineman and defensive lineman, elite offensive

390
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: lineman and defensive lineman. It is an insurance policy, is

391
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: what it is. Because guess what, even if you have

392
00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: great skill players, sometimes the offense isn't hitting. It happens

393
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: in football, it happens in baseball, it happens in basketball.

394
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: Sometimes the shooters aren't knocking down shots. How do you

395
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: win games outside of winning how you normally win? And

396
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: it goes back to something I've said on this show

397
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 1: from the jump, and I will continue to champion. The

398
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: teams that win the longest and thrive the longest and

399
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: sustain are the teams that can win in multiple ways.

400
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: I don't care what sport it is, because at some

401
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: point it's not gonna go how you want it to go.

402
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: The passing game's not gonna be working. Can you say,

403
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: you know what, we're not clicking on alls owners, we

404
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: gotta run our way to an ugly one, or you

405
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: know what, we're not playing great on offense. Front seven defense,

406
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 1: y'all got to win it for us or our back

407
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: end isn't super solid. So that front four, y'all got

408
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: to get to the passer because we can't just start

409
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: blitzing everybody and Robin Peter to pay Paul. That is

410
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: the way you build a program now that wants to

411
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: be elite, not wants to be okay now, wants to

412
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: get a win every now and then, that wants to

413
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 1: sustain and that can physically compete. That's the difference in

414
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: UTSA and Alabama. It's up front. It's up front, and

415
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: another guy that's always up front. Ross Ellinger from Sports Illustration.

416
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 1: Let's get Ross in here, got him right here there

417
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: he is Rose Ross. What's up man? Hey guys, how

418
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: are y'all doing good? Man? Doing good? Good to see it.

419
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: How's everything going going well? You know, right in the

420
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: middle of another season, trying to make it through the slog.

421
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, one month ago. I feel like sometimes I'm

422
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: writing more about stuff off the field been on it.

423
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: But that's how the last year and a half or

424
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 1: so have been. Yeah, true, and unfortunately I don't see

425
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 1: it's slowed down either. Ross, And I'm gonna ask you

426
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: about some off the field stuff just right off the

427
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: bat well. Well, we'll keep in that narrative this Jimbo

428
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: Fisher to LSU talk. What do you think? Just your thoughts?

429
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: You're a guy that's pugged in what I mean, is

430
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 1: there is there any validity to it? I just don't

431
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: see it. Ross, I just don't see it. I don't

432
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: see it either, But I haven't seen a lot of

433
00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: stuff and then it happens. So you know, I think

434
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: everybody's kind of can first of all, kind of connecting

435
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: the dots. You know they're obvious, right, I mean, Jimbo

436
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: spent five years at LSU, some of the greatest probably

437
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 1: times of his life with Nick Saban there from two

438
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: thousand to and then in one year I think with

439
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: less miles knows a lot of people in Baton Rouge.

440
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 1: Friends are a lot of people in Baton Rouge. I've

441
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 1: written about it before I was down and lived down there.

442
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: You know, he was interviewed for the job in two

443
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 1: thousand and five before they gave it to less Miles.

444
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: He basically accepted the job in twenty fifteen before they

445
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: decided to keep less Miles in twenty sixteen. There was

446
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: some flirtation there. I don't think it was as serious

447
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: as some make it into, but there were three times there,

448
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,479
Speaker 1: right that Jimbo was in the mix there for the

449
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: LSU job. And then you couple all of that with

450
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: the fact that the athletic director at LSU, Scott Woodward,

451
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: not only hired him that it takes a and m,

452
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: but it's good friends with him and gave him a

453
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 1: contract with no buyout, right. So a lot of the

454
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: a lot of the dots do connect. Um, It's just

455
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: it's hard for you know, at best, I think most

456
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 1: would say that's kind of a lateral move, you know,

457
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: resources wise and recruiting area. It's it's a it's a

458
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: lot of the same, a lot of similarities. Um. He

459
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 1: spent now, you know, four years there, like building that

460
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: program up to where it is now, getting it to

461
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: a situation to where it really can compete for championships.

462
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: It feels like Um, he's won seventeen of his last

463
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: twenty there, so it's just kind of hard for me

464
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: to think that he'd move and startle over again. No,

465
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: I agree, And if they don't get him this time,

466
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: you know, to quote the great award winning film The

467
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: Hot Tub Time Machine, Jimma Fisher maybe the Great White

468
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 1: Buffalo for LSU just it just seems like it's good.

469
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: We're kind of going down that path. But Ross on

470
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: the LSU note, I know there's been a lot of

471
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: names son out there. We talked about Lane Kiff and

472
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: we talked about mel Tucker. Are there a few that

473
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 1: jump out to you from from what you know? Is

474
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: there a couple that maybe kind of rise to the

475
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: top this early because we know it's going to be

476
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: a marathon on a sprint? Well, you know it? Did

477
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: you know? Jimbo was certainly a name that fits Scott

478
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 1: Boodward's kind of emo. You know, Scott does have an

479
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 1: MO if you go back to his days at Washington

480
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: and A and M, he goes after big time, big

481
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 1: name UM sitting power five coaches with with big money. Uh,

482
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: he did it. Chris Peterson over at Chris Peterson's a

483
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: little different scene that that was a group of five job,

484
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: but it was it was somebody that it was. You know,

485
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: he was basically the hottest thing and in college football,

486
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 1: and nobody could seem to pry him away from boise Bit.

487
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: But but Scott did. And then of course the Jimbo

488
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: hired A and M. But the buzz buzz hired A

489
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: and M taking him from Virginia Tech. And then you

490
00:24:55,359 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: look at his one of his latest tires, Kim Maulkey

491
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 1: at LSU, H, that was a that was a typical

492
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: Scott Woodward higher there. And so I feel like that's

493
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: the higher that LSU's gonna make. Um, it's gonna be

494
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: along the lines of that. You feel like in there's

495
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: some names that you would think LSU would look at,

496
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: but don't nessarily fit into that Woodward m and I

497
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: think a big one might be Billy Napier. You know, Uh,

498
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 1: it's hard for me to see it necessarily happening because

499
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: again of what I just talked about. H. But gosh,

500
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 1: you you think Billy is would be up there. You know,

501
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 1: he's he's done a tremendous job and certainly is Miles's

502
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 1: program after Nick Saban and that's a guy who knows

503
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: Scott Woodward knows well and Nick Saban and they work

504
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: together at LSU way back in two thousand and oh

505
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: two o one. And you know, so he's a name

506
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: that kind of sticks out obviously. You know, the melt

507
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: Tucker stuff is kind of buzzing everywhere, right um, you know,

508
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: it feels like those three guys. And then and you

509
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 1: think of a hire that would be kind of like

510
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: Kim Bulky, you know, yeah, you know, I mean if

511
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 1: Jimbo might might be that guy. But Lincoln Riley, you know,

512
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly. So you know, names that you think, wow,

513
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 1: that's crazy, you know, but but what would sometimes ends

514
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: up reading them in So there could be those names

515
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: as well. You know what. Scott has kept the search

516
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: pretty tight, I think, and a small group I believe

517
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 1: of names, you know. Yeah, and you know too watching

518
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 1: I know LSU fans want to splash higher. The Billy

519
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: Nampier thing to me is so interesting with the politics

520
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 1: there in Louisiana from Lafayette. You know, we've had guys

521
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: on talk about that. But you know, Ross, you wrote

522
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: a story about something a while ago, or put out

523
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: a tweet talking about the intake rule twenty five being

524
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: changed and them talking about changing you can take more

525
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,479
Speaker 1: than twenty five scholarship guys in a year, and to me,

526
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: that's a rule that has to be changed to marry

527
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: what's happening in the portal, because right now you can

528
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: lose more than you can intake from a scholarship standpoint,

529
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 1: there's nothing you can do about it as a head coach.

530
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: Is there a timeline for that? Has it already been

531
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: passed or just for me in the audience, do you

532
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: have an idea of when we could see that go

533
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: into effect. Yeah, it has been passed, is in effect

534
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: right now. So this coming class, Yeah, this coming class,

535
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: you can replace um all your your transfers up to

536
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: seven transfers, so the max is seven to the max

537
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: um you could sign would be thirty two. You're twenty

538
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: five normal and then seven transfers. Um. If you have

539
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 1: ten transfers, you can only sign seven. If you have five,

540
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 1: you can you can only sign. Yeah, you can only

541
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: sign those five. So but that is that's in effect

542
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: for this signing class and progress should be should be

543
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: interesting to watch for sure. Yeah, a lot of head

544
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 1: coaches and coaches in general were not happy about that

545
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: because the rules just it and reflect what was going

546
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: on on the other side of the coin. Now talking

547
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: about the playoff, Ross, just a couple more Rossdalinger Sports Illustrated.

548
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: Just get on social media or just look at college football.

549
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: You'll see them. The playoff. You know, we talked a

550
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: lot about it. You've talked a lot about it. I

551
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: know what the Alliance or the Council or the cabal

552
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: or you know, I'm gonna kick your ass whatever it's called,

553
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 1: the group they put together. When do you see possibly

554
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: the playoff or at least a vote or some movement

555
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: on it. Do you think we'll get it sooner than later?

556
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 1: Because I know this is just a kind of I'm

557
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,199
Speaker 1: jealous and pissed off play That's what it seems like

558
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: to me at least. Yeah, I think you're probably on

559
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: something there. If you didn't have Oklahoma and Texas, you know,

560
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: the SEC I don't think planned to announce Oklahoma and

561
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: Texas and to have that process go when it did.

562
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: You know, the news leaked out obviously, and they had

563
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 1: a kind of spring into action, so to speak. But

564
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: that process was not supposed to take place back in July,

565
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: and so if you didn't have that process. I think

566
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: we would have probably already had in agreement in place

567
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: for the twelve team playoff. But because of that, that

568
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: decision irking some power five commissioners. We sit here with

569
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: an issue. You have to have unanimity between all eleven,

570
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: the ten commissioners and Jack Swolberth the Notre Dame ad

571
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: And right now some are kind of pushing for for eight.

572
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: A couple of them are, and in the rest are

573
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: on board with the twelve, and they've got to find

574
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: some kind of comfromat compromise, and maybe that's what happens.

575
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: December one, that's the next time they're supposed to meet,

576
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: and they've got a time timeline. You know, they've got

577
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: to do it with the next couple of months if

578
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: they're going to expand in twenty twenty four. If not,

579
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: if they don't get it done in the next couple

580
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: of months, then we'll have four for the next five years,

581
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: and then in twenty twenty six we'll have a new

582
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: whole new contract in a new playoff. I don't have

583
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: to agree on I love it, Ross. I got one

584
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: more question. It maybe the most important question you've ever

585
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: been asked in your whole life, and I need you

586
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: to answer this correctly. If UTSA plays Alabama on a

587
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: neutral field, who wins. I'm gonna take the tide. Thank you,

Speaker 1: Ross Dellinger. You can come back anytime. No, I appreciate it, manages.

589
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: This is the funniest argument of all time for me.

590
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: Tell everybody where they can find your stuff. Man, it's

591
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: always great. You're always breaking news left and right. Man.

599
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: intake rules in effect up to thirty two. Thank you.

600
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: It's not a one hundred percent where it should be.

601
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: But but we're making progress, Blaine. Let's get to the

00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: Marcus Freeman and his great, great job recruiting. Look, Marcus Freeman,

611
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: and I know they made him the head coach in waiting,

612
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: which means you're not going to be the head coach

613
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: there next because the guy there's not going to retire

614
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: when you think he does. We've seen this movie before.

615
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,479
Speaker 1: Marcus Freeman, to me, is the total package. I mean,

616
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: he's a guy, defensive minded, guy, knows the game, knows

617
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: how to recruit, and he's in that perfect age where

618
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: he's young enough to understand but not too young to

619
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: overplay his hand. I think he's in that perfect, honey

620
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,040
Speaker 1: whole age. I think he's a great football mine, and

621
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: I think he's next up. One of these guys we

622
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: talk about is being next up. And I would not

623
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: be shocked if he did not take another job outside

624
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: of Notre Dame. He not waiting for Brian Kelly to

625
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: stay like what in ten years Marcus Freeman isn't doing that.

626
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: They did that so they could pay him more money.

627
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: Because I'll give you a hint. All these titles. You know,

628
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: you're the special team's coordinator slash running back coach, slash

629
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: hotdog associate slash you know, Pom Pom aficionado is to

630
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: get you more money. That's how they get these guys

631
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: over here. You can't pay them more money without adding

632
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: more titles. That's why you're seeing, you know, more titles

633
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: than Tom Brady's career launched on the people's names now.

634
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: So Marcus Freeman, I think he's one of one of

635
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: the most up and coming young guys in general and

636
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: college football, and I'm very excited to see him become

637
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: a head coach. If I was TCU or Texas Tech

638
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: or any of these openings that wasn't a major power

639
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: player right now, I'd be doing everything I could to

640
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 1: get Marcus Freeman love it. Got another donation here hit

641
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: the button, Kenny Beautiful dollars seven says shout out to

642
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: South Carolina is QB. Jason Brown, Yes, my boys since

643
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: his days at Saint Francis, Pennsylvania, keep balling my man.

644
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: Yeah No, Jason Brown came out and said, what can

645
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: Brown do for you? I'll show you what he can do.

646
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw two tugs and be the answer. That's

647
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: what Brown can do for you. And they just didn't win. No,

648
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: they beat him now they did. It reminded me alike

649
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: in Happy Gilmore when Adam Sandler wrestles the ball from

650
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: the alligator, Like, that's what South South Carolina was. Adam

651
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: Sandler just spinning them and hitting them and punching them.

652
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: And who does Adam stand? They're fighting that movie, Bob,

653
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: Bob Barker, the price is wrong, Bob, Yeah, we got

654
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: a quote. You wanna get a question course, We had

655
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 1: a question. You're from iron Man Football and he says

656
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: hashtag asked. Jay Boy says, Auburn defense is currently giving

657
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: up eighteen point eight points per game, which you consider

658
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: that elite. You said many times, Bamma gave up a

659
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: nineteen point three eight points per game last year and

660
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: you would take that every day of the week. And

661
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: I am one hundred percent behind that. You give up

662
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: eighteen point eight points per game, you maintain your position

663
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: on the staff and probably get hired somewhere bigger if

664
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: you can keep doing it. Anything under twenty points a

665
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: game in today's offensive evolution revolution, whatever you want to

666
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:11,280
Speaker 1: call it, is unbelievably impressive. And he's doing it without

667
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,879
Speaker 1: elite pass rushers. That's the thing. It's not like he's

668
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: out there doing it with Georgia's guys or Obama's guys.

669
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: Not taking anything away, there's a lot of really good

670
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: players on Auburn's defense. It's very heavily slanted. There's a

671
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 1: lot more NFL players on Auburn's defense than there is

672
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: in an offense. But like you said about Meek Mills,

673
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 1: there is levels to it. Derek Mason, I know early

674
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: and it's not the sexiest system that he runs, but

675
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: you're starting to see Auburn's players figure it out a

676
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,280
Speaker 1: little bit, and they're figuring out. Like I said after Arkansas,

677
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: we may be a four down team and it's working

678
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: a lot better. You saw him in a ton of

679
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 1: four down against Ay and m Yeah, for sure, not

680
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 1: a three down team. I don't see him touched the

681
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:49,720
Speaker 1: quarterback with three downs. No, But we got a question

682
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: from Max Klebler. All right, he says, has asked j

683
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 1: But Auburn fans, we're calling for TJ. Finley to come

684
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter as of falling behind two A

685
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 1: and M by two possessions in my opinion or wrong,

686
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:05,280
Speaker 1: what's your take a seagon block If he's not gonna blocked,

687
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 1: then it doesn't look and did bow Knicks play good?

688
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: And I just want to squash this now. I want

689
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: to squash this now because and I said this from

690
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: the jump, we have got to stop acting like it's

691
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,839
Speaker 1: only one problem. When stuff doesn't work in football, most

692
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: of the time, on either side the ball, it's because

693
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: of multiple problems. But just like a lot of things,

694
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 1: and that's okay, people say, oh well, it's got to

695
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 1: be just this are two things can't be true at once.

696
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 1: Bow Knicks did not played great Saturday against an M.

697
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: But Auburn's offensive line they can't do it against those

698
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: style of teams that are that personnel that are that

699
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: much more elite. When you are getting knocked back, whether

700
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,720
Speaker 1: it's run, whether it's pass, and you're having to invent

701
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: ways to move the ball and not be balanced, you're

702
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: not going to win. You could have played eight quarters

703
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: of Auburn verus an M. I don't think Auburn scores

704
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 1: a touchdown because they couldn't run the ball. They don't

705
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: have personnel good enough to not play well in all areas.

706
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: You can't say, oh, just like I said earlier with

707
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 1: hypel you don't have the elite oh line, So you

708
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: can't say, oh, well, the passing game's not working well,

709
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,320
Speaker 1: let's run our way to a win against A and M.

710
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: Or let's be heavy in the run. It'll play action.

711
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: We get fifty fifty balls, we feel good about it.

712
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 1: Auburn doesn't have that guy. Auburn still doesn't have that

713
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 1: guy a receiver. Who is it. So everybody that blames

714
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: bo Nix for every problem were the same people that

715
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: were praising him after LSU, were the same people that

716
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,399
Speaker 1: were praising him after Ole Miss, were the same people

717
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: that were praising him after Arkansas. But the minute somebody loses,

718
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: you only blame one part. That's not really how it works.

719
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: It's convenient. It's easy because when you watch the game,

720
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: you're watching the one guy that has the ball the

721
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: whole time, you're not watching everything else that's going on.

722
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: What Texas A and M's defensive line was doing to

723
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 1: Auburn's offensive line in thirty seven of the fifty states

724
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 1: could be a crime. So it just is what it is.

725
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: Bow Knicks can play bad and the rest of Auburn's

726
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: offense not be elite. Bo Nicks can play good and

727
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: the rest of Auburn offense not be elite, but play better. Yeah, well,

728
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 1: you know, when when it comes down in the quarterback position,

729
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna get too much play in, too much credit.

730
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: I agree, what else we got him? We're gonna get

731
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: to our from Alexander Kron. What's up, Alexander said, Alexander,

732
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on? Calzada's play seems to have

733
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: happy feening and Knicks sim plays and then he makes

734
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: an unbelievable throw every ten to fifteen attempts. Will you

735
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,240
Speaker 1: know what that sounds like a young guy at quarterback

736
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: that's figuring it out, Because that's exactly what it is.

737
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: We talked about it with Anthony Richardson from Florida. He

738
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: needs to go out there, do make the good plays,

739
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: but make the mistakes as well. But what Jimbo was doing,

740
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 1: and if you watch the way Jimbo called that game,

741
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: Jimbo's doing a very good job of protecting Calzada and

742
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,760
Speaker 1: understanding the flow and the feel of the game. Jimbo

743
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: realized about halfway through the second quarter of the Auburn

744
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 1: game that Auburn probably wasn't going to score a touchdown.

745
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: If you watch, Auburn started with the ball at midfield

746
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: the whole first half and couldn't score. They got one

747
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: field goal, started at midfield almost the whole first half.

748
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 1: Brian Harson said in his press conference, you gotta take

749
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 1: advantage of field position. That's football one oh one. But

750
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 1: Jimbo realized that's how the game was going to go,

751
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 1: and he didn't give kal Zada too much. That's why

752
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: you didn't see a ton of downfield throws. He was

753
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: really trying to work Wademeyer in the middle. They were

754
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: trying to make sure they were running the ball effectively,

755
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: trying to get into third and fours and third and

756
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: threes so they could continue to move the ball and

757
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: then just outweighed Auburn at the end. And that's what

758
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: they did. But kl Zata has such good feel as

759
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: a thrower, and he has such a big arm as

760
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: a thrower. As a young guy, he's able to throw.

761
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: He made across the middle on third down, falling backwards.

762
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: When you looked at it on TV, You're like, well,

763
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: that's pretty good throw. The arm strength it takes to

764
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: be able to fit that ball in that seventeen to

765
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,959
Speaker 1: twenty yard window downfield, falling away while the DB's hanging

766
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: on his back, that's not easy. That's not a normal throw.

767
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: That is a big league throw. It just looks routine

768
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 1: on TV. There's a lot to like about Calzada. His

769
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: mobility is not one of those things. But when you're

770
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 1: running the style system that Jimbo's running with them, you

771
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: don't have to have Calzada doing that. And once the

772
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: offensive line keeps getting better for A and M and

773
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: you see Spiller and A chaining, these guys continue to

774
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 1: churn up yardage, A M becomes very dangerous. And what

775
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: does A and M start to look like a little bit?

776
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: They start to look a little bit like they did

777
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 1: last year. Right, They're just gonna suffocate you with the

778
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: run game at the end. It's like a python. It's

779
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 1: like Georgia a little bit. They're just gonna squeeze you

780
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,839
Speaker 1: to death the whole game until halfway through the third

781
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 1: quarter your head pops off your shoulders. And that's just

782
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: how it is. All Right, I'm gonna get to one

783
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 1: of our favorite things that we've done. It's our top twelve.

784
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: So it's in the ap top ten with two of

785
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,280
Speaker 1: our teams. It's our top twelve. What would the playoff

786
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 1: look like? David Cone, throw it up on the screen.

787
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 1: Let's get it all right, God, I love this so much.

788
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 1: Where you want to start? Let's start top left? All right?

789
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: The eight nine. We got Michigan playing A and M.

790
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:51,879
Speaker 1: And right now, John that you want to talk about

791
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,439
Speaker 1: a fistfight? Two teams pounding the ball at each other.

792
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: McNamara verse, Cal's hoder. Are we looking in the mirror?

793
00:39:58,160 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 1: Are we looking in the mirror? I just feel like

794
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: this is a spider Man Jeff to pointing each other.

795
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: But I just feel like these two fan bases just

796
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 1: wouldn't like each other. I don't think they like each

797
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 1: other either. You are part of the Michigan as you

798
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,240
Speaker 1: know what ascar A and M brethren in the Booster club.

799
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 1: Would you guys have a beef with Michigan? It just

800
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,879
Speaker 1: smells like it smells like a wide be They're like, look,

801
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 1: we don't like Texas, we don't like Alabama, we don't

802
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: like Oah and you know what give me A and

803
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: M in a close one, Give me A and M

804
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 1: in a close one. I think so, man, I think

805
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 1: and M's just better as what Michigan tries to do.

806
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: I think they both tried to do the same, that's

807
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: funny better. I don't necessarily agree with that. I think

808
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,240
Speaker 1: they're very comparable. I just think you put Jim Harball

809
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 1: on the big stage. You gotta go with the guy

810
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: who's won the big one, Jim Fisher. I don't think

811
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 1: you're crazy, sorry, And I don't think that they're that

812
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 1: much talented, right, I mean, like our front seven is

813
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: good too, or I say all, I mean Michigan's front

814
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: seven is good too. Um And I think, look, I

815
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 1: think you could put Calzada in a position where he

816
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: could make mistakes. McNamara has been efficient. I just feel like, man,

817
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,439
Speaker 1: you put them both on the big stage, you gotta

818
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 1: go with I think you go with jimbo on a

819
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,760
Speaker 1: close one. I agree, I agree, blame you agree? Doctor?

820
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: Can curR you concur doctor? Yeah? Put them in there.

821
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 1: Nine seed advance. All right, So now we have the

822
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: Oklahoma Notre Dame matchup? Is that? What is that? Six

823
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: twelve five twelve Oklahoma first Notre Dame, two blue bloods

824
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 1: brand heavy game would be interesting. Give me Caleb Williams

825
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: and Oklahoma. I just don't believe in Jack Cone, your

826
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: brother at Notre Dame. I don't believe in him. You

827
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:38,240
Speaker 1: guys are both eight foot three, But I just don't

828
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 1: believe that Notre Dame is explosive offensively. I don't Caleb

829
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: Williams in a one off game can go nuts? Yeah, Now,

830
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:51,399
Speaker 1: can Oklahoma tackle anybody right now? No? But Notre Dame.

831
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 1: You know, I know, Mayor's a beast at tied in

832
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: even though he hasn't come up big in a lot

833
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,320
Speaker 1: of big moments this year. Not a ton of weapons

834
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: for Notre Dame, in my opinion, not a ton you

835
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 1: concur on what that or what? Yeah, I'm going with Oklahoma,

836
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams to Jack Cone, I mean, in my opinion,

837
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 1: And you know, and I think if Notre Dame was

838
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,879
Speaker 1: super dominant on running the football, which and previous Notre

839
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 1: Dame teams they were upfront, Notre Dame on the offense

840
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 1: line have been extremely good. But the offensive line this year,

841
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 1: new guys, young guys, rearranging the offensive line positions and

842
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams ceiling is supervised, and what's cost him is

843
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 1: the front seven on defense. That's what's cast from the publish.

844
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: I could find some area for disagreement here, but they're

845
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: gonna go Oklahoma, right, you're right? Five five advances, all right,

846
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,720
Speaker 1: So we got the seven ten. Look at this matchup,

847
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State versus Cincinnati. Who do you sing them a pick?

848
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: I think I know who you're gonna pick. I'm gonna

849
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: pick Oklahoma State. I think the Coahoma State beats him

850
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:46,359
Speaker 1: by double digits. Do you think so I'm taking Cincinnati? No,

851
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 1: not give me Oklahoma State fourteen points or more? Yeah?

852
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: All right? Seven advances all right? We got the eleven

853
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 1: six matchup Old Miss Michigan State. Wow. What I love

854
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: this is this guy got some nastiness to it. Ole

855
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 1: miss in Michigan State. Ole Missus defense, which we know

856
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 1: is better than last year, but that's not saying much.

857
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 1: Trying to tackle Kenneth Walker consistently and ole Missus offense

858
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 1: against mel Tucker's defensive mind. This matchup is delicious and

859
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 1: I'm going Ole Miss by a field goal in over time.

860
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 1: I'll go sparty, I'll go sparty man. I think Yeah.

861
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 1: You give Kenneth Walker the ball enough times against that

862
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 1: defense is going to score. You're the time the time man.

863
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm going Macrell go Rebels, Yep, yep, are

864
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: there the rebels story? Then the Black Bears are shark

865
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: fish jumpers week you're the man bear pigs, Man Bear pigs.

866
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 1: All right, Okay, so we're going back up top left.

867
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: All right, So we got A and M Georgia one

868
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: nine matchup. I feel like this game would be close early.

869
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: I feel like this would be kind of a feel

870
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 1: each other out. Oh, you stopped to two best front

871
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: sevens on defense in college football playing against each other.

872
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: That means I'm taking the under. Whatever it is. Give

873
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 1: me Georgia by ten. They kick a field goal late

874
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 1: to is it good showing for A and M just

875
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 1: not there yet. Georgia's to elite. Give me the dogs. Yeah,

876
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:14,839
Speaker 1: I'll go. I'll go Georgia as well. I just don't

877
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 1: think Kyle Zata can have the type of game this

878
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: would be on a neutral site, right, you don't have

879
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 1: Kyle Field, you don't have the ju ju making the

880
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:24,240
Speaker 1: ball go through the uprights that neutral site. Give me Georgia.

881
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,400
Speaker 1: I'm taking Georgia, because what does a and M on

882
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 1: defense struggle with the past? Someone in the past, and

883
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 1: also a mobile quarterback. I think Stetson's feet in that

884
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 1: game's gonna help. So you're saying good stuff about Stetson bend,

885
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:42,359
Speaker 1: you say something good about Stetson black, I'm not. I'm

886
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: not walking down this road. I never said you're not

887
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 1: walking down was a bad quarterback that never came out

888
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 1: on the here we go. It never came out on

889
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 1: the mouth. He's not elite. You can't triple stamping. He's

890
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 1: not elite. Y'all think sets. I know. We never said

891
00:44:56,320 --> 00:45:01,399
Speaker 1: that you can't triple stampuble, you can't trouble stamp doubles down. Yeah,

892
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:06,840
Speaker 1: all right, let's go, let's go. All right, So we

893
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:09,799
Speaker 1: got one nine. We wanted advances, all right? Now, bottom left,

894
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:14,280
Speaker 1: we had uh five verse four Ohio State Oklahoma man,

895
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: kimme Ohio State, guys, Yeah, Kimi Ohoe State. I think

896
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 1: they run the check up. Oklahoma struggles defensively. Ohio State

897
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 1: has not been dominant. Defends don't matter, but give me

898
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 1: Oklahoma Williams. Yeah, because he will be playing his best

899
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:31,479
Speaker 1: football in the playoffs. Are you just saying that because

900
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: me and Cone picks some pick somebody else, I'm not

901
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 1: gonna be different. You're not you really believe that? Yeah,

902
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: you put money on that. I would, So, all right,

903
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: if Oklahoma plays Ohio State in the playoff, if they

904
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 1: both make the playoff, you want to put some hot

905
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:44,879
Speaker 1: wings on it. We talked about this. You know, let's

906
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 1: put anything but hot wings. Let's pumas anything like, anything

907
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 1: but hot wings. Cone. Cone gets to throw a ball

908
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 1: and hit you point like, it goes straight to pain.

909
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 1: Let's let's he goes straight to pain. Of course it

910
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 1: goes No, you nobody like a dunk t are you know?

911
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 1: Like you know what? You get to go swimming after

912
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:07,359
Speaker 1: losing the bat, to walk a mile on broken glass

913
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 1: and then fight a whale. And this isn't three hundred.

914
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 1: I'm not going to ask you to go out and

915
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 1: kill a wolf. And there that's what it, villa, That's

916
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: what it felt like when I ate those wings, Fella,

917
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:19,799
Speaker 1: I was fighting chars are pomon all right, So we

918
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:24,359
Speaker 1: agree Ohio State advance with Pokemon references. So we got

919
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 1: I got all thirteen percent of you out there that

920
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:32,799
Speaker 1: understand that probably laughed counts Oklahoma State seven versus Alabama two.

921
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:36,439
Speaker 1: The old two seven here, give me Bama. I look

922
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State, Mike Gundi, who'll have the mullet flowing? The

923
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 1: juice is flowing. I love the Sanders kid from Oklahoma State.

924
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: I don't think this game is a blowout, but give

925
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 1: me Bama. I think Will Anderson makes enough plays on

926
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:53,879
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball. Alabama advances, but closer look,

927
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 1: if it were the experts where Utsa, I would take them.

928
00:46:56,719 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 1: But since it's not, give me Alabama. That's true. So yeah,

929
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Utsa. Yeah, Okay, enough, alright enough, all right.

930
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 1: So we had I think George s party, but you

931
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 1: guys had Ole miss in the eleven and now Verse

932
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 1: oregan at the three. This is a tough one to pick. Now.

933
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 1: I know Oregon losing Verdel was a big miss. But

934
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 1: they're finding their identity a little bit. You're starting to

935
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: see offensively, they're a lot more comfortable. It's not like

936
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 1: they're searching trying to find things. I know, against Washington

937
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 1: they only scored seventeen points, but it was raining cats

938
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 1: and dogs, and I'm not talking about the Huskies there

939
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 1: on the Washington side. But when I look at this matchup,

940
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:43,280
Speaker 1: to me, the difference in this game is Matt Correll.

941
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 1: I think he's the difference with his legs. I think

942
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 1: Matt Crow would hurt Oregon with his legs. I think

943
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:53,839
Speaker 1: ole Miss would score enough points, get enough stops to win.

944
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 1: Another squeaker. I said they'd beat Michigan State by a

945
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,399
Speaker 1: field goal and over time, I believe I think this

946
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,919
Speaker 1: one would you traveling down the same path. I think

947
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:05,359
Speaker 1: ole Miss scores late touchdown or field goal to put

948
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:07,320
Speaker 1: him up. They get one more stop against Oregon, the

949
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: Haill Mary gets batted down the end zone. I think

950
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 1: the Michigan State would be a bad matchup for them.

951
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 1: That's why I picked Sparty in the previous round. But

952
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,880
Speaker 1: I'd like to just know how healthy Matt Correl was

953
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 1: before this game weeks off. You'd like to know how

954
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:22,919
Speaker 1: healthy he is, How healthy is the offensive line? They're

955
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 1: getting someone back. Let's let me say this, Matt Carrel

956
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 1: are you taking? But what about the rest of him?

957
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 1: Does he have the weapons on the outside? I mean

958
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 1: they couldn't be anything. Yeah, yeah, Well Braylon Sanders is back, Mingo.

959
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if the timeline off, he would be

960
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:37,319
Speaker 1: back with the broken foot. I don't know, but again

961
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:41,280
Speaker 1: they Pearson stepped down. Feels like one of those ones

962
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 1: that Organ always just finds a way to win. But

963
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:46,280
Speaker 1: I'm one of the biggest Matt Carrel fans in the country.

964
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 1: That kid, that's the definition of moxie right there. That

965
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:51,439
Speaker 1: and I think it is a bad matchup with Michigan State.

966
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 1: But if he's healthy and he gets the weapons back

967
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 1: and they get the center back and some of the

968
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 1: offensive line problems, man, I think he could ball and

969
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 1: they could be Organ. I agree. I just don't think

970
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 1: Organ has a enough on offense to match really what

971
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:05,240
Speaker 1: oh Miss can do with Matt Crow. And there's nothing

972
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 1: more scarier than giving multiple weeks of Lane Kiffin and

973
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 1: Jeff Yea that is true to Lane Kiffin's over there,

974
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 1: like like mixing chemicals. Man, For our Organ fans out there,

975
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:16,960
Speaker 1: you go into the horseshoe and you win by two touchdowns,

976
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 1: that's impressive. I don't care if it was early in

977
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 1: the year, and it just feels like one of those ones. Man,

978
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 1: you don't want to try, you don't want to trifle

979
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:25,840
Speaker 1: with them. No, Mario, look, Mario christ ball, have them

980
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 1: ready to go? Yeah, so it be. I mean again,

981
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 1: this would be great matchup, a great matchup. Let's see

982
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 1: where we're going here. We already said Georgia advances, right,

983
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:37,959
Speaker 1: I think we have Georgia Ohio State. Kay, Georgia, Ohio State.

984
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 1: Give me Georgia. I think CJ. Stroud those multiple interceptions.

985
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 1: I think they score a couple of defensive touchdowns. I

986
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 1: like Georgia big, big in this game. I like them big.

987
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 1: Oh like them big. But I think they'd win. Yeah, yeah, well,

988
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:53,360
Speaker 1: I mean I'm obviously taking Georgia, just trous Us not

989
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 1: there yet. Yeah, I think I think that would be

990
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:57,319
Speaker 1: the difference. I think you'd see George to be able

991
00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 1: to run their base stuff. But also when they started

992
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 1: pressuring Stroud trying to force those passes in, even without

993
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 1: anam and Er send it outside linebacker, even without Tykee

994
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 1: Smith at Nicola Guite's safety, you could move around. Georgia

995
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 1: still has enough guys, can me Georgia in this game. Okay,

996
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 1: so George advances National championship. Then we've got Alabama, and

997
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 1: I think the consensus was ole miss. Yeah, we'll see

998
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 1: that on a match up. All piss though, would people

999
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 1: be if you had Georgia, Abama and ole Miss, They'd

1000
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:29,439
Speaker 1: be so mad, they'd be so mad. But I when

1001
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 1: I look at this game, I so just think Alabama

1002
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:34,840
Speaker 1: has too much. Ole Miss does not have the weapons

1003
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 1: they had last year. We saw that in the first

1004
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: game where Alabama shut out ole Miss. They took away

1005
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 1: Braylon Sanders and said, you're not going to run the ball,

1006
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:42,840
Speaker 1: and you don't have a Kenny a Bow out there,

1007
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 1: you don't have a Jonathan Mingo out there. Elijah Moore's

1008
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 1: running around kitchen touchdown passes for the Jets, and it

1009
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 1: just is what it is right now, was where ole

1010
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,400
Speaker 1: Miss is. I think Alabama is the better roster. I

1011
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:54,399
Speaker 1: think they're the better team. While I don't think ole

1012
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 1: Miss would get shut out in the first half. I

1013
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 1: think Alabama wins this one comfortably, but not too much.

1014
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:02,360
Speaker 1: Laine always has a few tricks up his sleeve, especially

1015
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 1: for Saban when it matters. I got Alabama playing Georgia

1016
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:08,360
Speaker 1: again in the National Championship. Surprise, surprise. I mean, I

1017
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 1: know this is all I mean, this is fun, you know,

1018
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: But the question would be, would these you know, matchups

1019
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:16,879
Speaker 1: if you had a twelve team playoff. Would they look

1020
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 1: the same that we're having right now, because if so,

1021
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 1: it's looking like all the same teams, that would make

1022
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 1: the four team playoff, right, which would hurt the argument

1023
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:26,800
Speaker 1: for the twelfth team playoff. But in college football is

1024
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 1: not college basketball. The question would be, though, can you

1025
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 1: get some of those key upsets so you would have

1026
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:35,240
Speaker 1: different games in the final four? Yeah, I think you would.

1027
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:37,799
Speaker 1: I mean I think it would take form, you know,

1028
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:40,479
Speaker 1: not in the not in the one seeds, probably losing

1029
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 1: in the second round, but but you'd have you know,

1030
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:45,920
Speaker 1: a seven ten, you'd you'd have the ability because to me,

1031
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:48,359
Speaker 1: a lot of it, just like an the nc double

1032
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 1: A tournament, is not just personnel on your roster. A

1033
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 1: lot of it is the matchup and momentum and momentum

1034
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,240
Speaker 1: and who you're playing in the style in the system,

1035
00:51:57,239 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 1: because we see it in NCUBA basketball tournament all the time.

1036
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 1: You have a team that's really good during the regular season,

1037
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 1: power five, dominant team. All of a sudden, you run

1038
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:07,840
Speaker 1: in to one of these group of fives or smaller

1039
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:09,960
Speaker 1: schools that they have five seniors out there that have

1040
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 1: been playing in this run and gun system for five years,

1041
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:15,360
Speaker 1: and they get hot for one game. We saw Abilene

1042
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:18,880
Speaker 1: Christian do that and beat Texas and then look like

1043
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 1: they've never played basketball again the next week. That's what

1044
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 1: makes it interesting. I don't think you'd have as much parody,

1045
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:26,439
Speaker 1: even though that's crazy to say with the season we've

1046
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 1: had in this twelve team playoff. But the matchups, to me,

1047
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 1: would dictate the upsets. I know that sounds very obvious,

1048
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:34,239
Speaker 1: but I'm not just talking about any matchup. It's the

1049
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 1: Old Missus verse the A and MS. It's the Tennessee's

1050
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: versus George's. It's the Ohio States versus Old Missus. Those

1051
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 1: matchups where if one team can get hot, then they

1052
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:46,600
Speaker 1: have the personnel and that system in that style that

1053
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:49,400
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit foreign, are not as mainstream as

1054
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:51,719
Speaker 1: the others. You could see some upsets and some movement there.

1055
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 1: I really think you could. But speaking about movement, Tom

1056
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:57,239
Speaker 1: lugan Bill thinks that Caleb Williams has a chance to

1057
00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 1: move up the Heisman boards over the next couple of weeks,

1058
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:02,320
Speaker 1: we talk about A and mL, miss Georgia, Tennessee, a

1059
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 1: little bit of everything. Tom lugan Bill from ESPN joined

1060
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 1: us next, all right, excited to get a guy we

1061
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 1: get in here a lot from ESPN. He's everywhere got

1062
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:12,799
Speaker 1: college football covered like a blanket and then some. And

1063
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 1: he's also celebrating the new season release of Yellowstone with

1064
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:21,120
Speaker 1: an absolute badass cowboy hat. Tom Lugan Bill, what's up, man? Oh,

1065
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 1: you gotta throw us stetson in there every now and then. Man, Listen,

1066
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 1: I'm doing really, really good. I'm pumped for this weekend.

1067
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:33,239
Speaker 1: I've been chuckling with our crew. Jay Boy. We had

1068
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 1: Purdue and both of their upsets, so we had Purdue

1069
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 1: at Iowa. We just had Purdue at home versus Michigan State.

1070
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:44,320
Speaker 1: And I'm fairly certain that Ryan Day called the brass

1071
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:47,839
Speaker 1: and he is he had pass divorce check in. Lugan Bill,

1072
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 1: are not coming to Columbus, Send him somewhere else. And

1073
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 1: Jeff Bron called him right back and said, I need

1074
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:56,960
Speaker 1: Lugan Bill, and I need him now. Listen. I did

1075
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 1: my postgame interview with him this past week and started

1076
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 1: off saying, haven't we had this conversation before? Yeah, for sure,

1077
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 1: And just for me to grab the low hanging fruit

1078
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 1: because I just can't stand it. That's the only thing

1079
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:09,839
Speaker 1: that you and Georgia haven are one of the things

1080
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 1: that you and Georgia have in common. Went in doubt,

1081
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:13,399
Speaker 1: though a Stetson out there seems to be working out

1082
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 1: pretty well this season. Absolutely, man deliver the mail. That's

1083
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 1: exactly right. Well, I want to start Tom. I talked

1084
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 1: about a little bit in my monologue about the Heisman

1085
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 1: race and where we're at right now. To me, I

1086
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,399
Speaker 1: still think it's it's Bryce Young and Kenneth Walker, both

1087
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 1: with chances to win it with Heisman moments because you

1088
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:32,719
Speaker 1: need those opportunities. Where does it stand in your eyes

1089
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:37,440
Speaker 1: right now? I think those are two very, very viable candidates.

1090
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 1: But I think the guy that's gaining ground and the

1091
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 1: next three weeks are going to be unbelievably important, will

1092
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:47,240
Speaker 1: be freshman Caleb Williams, with a really no Well, Listen,

1093
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:50,400
Speaker 1: when you think about it, it starts to make sense logically.

1094
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:53,640
Speaker 1: So that team had to play nine straight weeks. Now,

1095
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:56,560
Speaker 1: it wasn't always pretty, but we've got a Lincoln Riley

1096
00:54:56,600 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 1: that's continually having to apologize for being undefeated, right, so

1097
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 1: we forget that with the spectacular moments that we've seen

1098
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:07,439
Speaker 1: from Caleb Williams. All Right, he's been doing that when

1099
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 1: things haven't necessarily been perfect around him. Go back to

1100
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:14,000
Speaker 1: two weeks ago before their bye week, and look at

1101
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:18,520
Speaker 1: the performance that he had three thirty Eastern kick on ABC.

1102
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:22,359
Speaker 1: It was flawless. Now look at who their next three

1103
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:25,400
Speaker 1: opponents are. All Right, so you're gonna be taken on

1104
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 1: bailor You've got Oklahoma State, You've got Iowa State. And

1105
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 1: I've always been of the belief that a big part

1106
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 1: of the Heisman formula is you've got your best performances

1107
00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:38,800
Speaker 1: against the best teams on your schedule in a viewing

1108
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 1: window that is no further west than the Central time zone.

1109
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:46,440
Speaker 1: They check all three of those boxes. And while Kenneth

1110
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 1: Walker is a spectacular player, certainly in the mixed, Bryce

1111
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:51,319
Speaker 1: Young as well, he's having to pull a rabbit out

1112
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:55,359
Speaker 1: of the hat continually. What if Caleb Williams picks up

1113
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:57,799
Speaker 1: where he left off off of that Texas Tech game

1114
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 1: and they finished undefeated going into the conference title game,

1115
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:04,839
Speaker 1: and he's continuing to just light the world on fire.

1116
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:07,440
Speaker 1: I don't know how you could ignore him. No, I

1117
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 1: agree with you one hundred percent on the opportunities. You know,

1118
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:12,440
Speaker 1: and we've seen young guys winning before, Tom. I mean,

1119
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 1: it's not like that. You haven't had young guys win

1120
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 1: it before. We can go down the list, and really

1121
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:19,399
Speaker 1: recently you're seeing younger guys win it. I just think,

1122
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:22,760
Speaker 1: you know, with young quarterbacks, especially with Caleb, he's so talented,

1123
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:25,160
Speaker 1: I'd be willing to bet that he would win it

1124
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:27,120
Speaker 1: or have a very good chance to win it before

1125
00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:29,720
Speaker 1: he leaves Oklahoma. I just see these next three games,

1126
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 1: and he has to go undefeated to win it. I

1127
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:34,720
Speaker 1: don't think they survived the next three games though, Tom

1128
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:37,640
Speaker 1: without losing one. You start with Dave Randa, who you

1129
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 1: know is going to have a good plan for him offensively,

1130
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 1: and if that defense, I always worry with guys like

1131
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:46,399
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley and Lane Kiffin and some of these others,

1132
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:48,279
Speaker 1: I never really worry about the offense. I don't think

1133
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:51,799
Speaker 1: you do either. But Oklahoma's tackling in space, to me,

1134
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:54,840
Speaker 1: has been a huge downfall for them going all the

1135
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:57,360
Speaker 1: way back to the beginning of the year against Tu Lane,

1136
00:56:57,440 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 1: especially in the second half. How do you see do

1137
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:02,399
Speaker 1: you do you see a world and where Oklahoma may

1138
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 1: lose two out of the next three. Though, not to

1139
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:06,480
Speaker 1: digress too far, but I think it's a point we

1140
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:09,240
Speaker 1: need to talk about. I think with the way college

1141
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 1: football has gone this year and the chaos we've seen

1142
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:14,840
Speaker 1: weekend and week out, everything impossible. And again it's the

1143
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:18,840
Speaker 1: three best teams remaining on their schedule, and all all

1144
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 1: are capable of beating them. I think from a defensive perspective,

1145
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 1: why were we so excited about Oklahoma to begin with?

1146
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 1: Because for the first time in a long long time,

1147
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:31,640
Speaker 1: we watched them last fall, and all of a sudden,

1148
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:34,520
Speaker 1: they looked like they had dudes up front. They're limiting

1149
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 1: exposed to plays, they're creating turnovers, creating havoc and tackles

1150
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:41,919
Speaker 1: for loss and sacks, and up until two weeks ago

1151
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 1: against Texas Tech, they had done anything but poor run fits,

1152
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:49,960
Speaker 1: poor tackling, being out of position. By the way, not

1153
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 1: too dissimilar to what we've seen from Alabama to some

1154
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 1: degree defensively at times. And so if they again pick

1155
00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:59,680
Speaker 1: up where they left off versus Texas Tech and maybe

1156
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 1: turn this thing around, I do think they're going to

1157
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:05,400
Speaker 1: be very difficult to beat. But they can't turn the

1158
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:09,480
Speaker 1: ball over, and defensively, I think they've got to continue

1159
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:13,000
Speaker 1: to be an aggressive, up the field type of football team,

1160
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:16,000
Speaker 1: which is what they came into this season being and

1161
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:18,439
Speaker 1: if they do that, they're gonna put people in third

1162
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:21,040
Speaker 1: and long. They're going to create an extra possession or

1163
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:24,640
Speaker 1: two by getting a turnover. Another thing too, Tomming, and

1164
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:26,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna move off Oklahoma because I want to get

1165
00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 1: some of the matchups this weekend, is that when you

1166
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 1: add a quarterback that can run into the mix, it's

1167
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:34,400
Speaker 1: amazing how it helps the running back room and the

1168
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 1: offensive line because just like anything, you're adding more dimensions

1169
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 1: for the defense to have to defend. You're changing leverage.

1170
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 1: You know, with Spencer Rattler. While he wasn't you know,

1171
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:46,160
Speaker 1: a statue back there, he is not nearly the game

1172
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 1: breaker that Caleb Williams can take one for seventy and

1173
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 1: we've seen him do it multiple times. So I think

1174
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:53,760
Speaker 1: that's been a big I think fit for that Lincoln

1175
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 1: Riley offensive system because I always laughed Tom, They're like, oh,

1176
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:57,920
Speaker 1: you know, Lincoln Riley and Lane Kiff and all these

1177
00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:00,160
Speaker 1: guys just love to throw the ball around. Even you

1178
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:01,920
Speaker 1: freeze like, they just love to throw the ball around.

1179
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:04,760
Speaker 1: It's built off the run game. Man, you can't mistake

1180
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 1: Mike Leach and Lane Kiffin. I say it all the time.

1181
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 1: They're two totally different theories, but I want to ask

1182
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:11,080
Speaker 1: you about a couple intriguing games for me, Tom, You're

1183
00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:16,560
Speaker 1: a football lover, enthusiast, purest schematical lover, endeavorer like myself.

1184
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:21,560
Speaker 1: We have two totally different identities going against each other, philosophies,

1185
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:24,840
Speaker 1: ideologies this weekend in the SEC, and I'm so here

1186
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:26,800
Speaker 1: for it because as a football junkie, this is what

1187
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 1: gets me going. This is what I like to see.

1188
00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:31,160
Speaker 1: You got A and M and ole Miss in one corner.

1189
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:35,120
Speaker 1: We know A and M very pro style, very run

1190
00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:37,760
Speaker 1: oriented off the play action, especially against defense as we

1191
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 1: saw Auburn shut them down last week until the second half.

1192
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:42,800
Speaker 1: We know how good that front seven is on defense.

1193
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:45,960
Speaker 1: Secondaries a little suspect. Then you have old Miss that

1194
00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 1: we know operates at a higher tempo lane. Kiffin does

1195
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 1: a good job mixing run and pass, but he can

1196
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 1: take advantage of a week secondary. I want to talk

1197
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:56,480
Speaker 1: about this game first and then moved to Tennessee and Georgia.

1198
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:58,840
Speaker 1: To me, this isn't a great matchup for A and M. Tom,

1199
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:01,240
Speaker 1: you got game day coming in. This is all Miss.

1200
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 1: I know. They play in the Egg Bowl against Misissippi State.

1201
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 1: But that's not nearly That doesn't nearly have the cachet

1202
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 1: that this game has for Matt corral as well, because

1203
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 1: they're running out of opportunities. Well, I think you can

1204
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:15,240
Speaker 1: almost oversimplify the analysis of this game, and that is

1205
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:17,480
Speaker 1: one team's got a superior player under center and the

1206
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 1: other one's got a red shirt freshman that would start

1207
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:21,760
Speaker 1: of the season as a backup. And I think Texas

1208
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:24,320
Speaker 1: A and M has done everything they can and masterfully

1209
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 1: to work around Zach Calzada, whereas with Old Miss and

1210
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 1: Matt Corrall, he's not a guy you're winning in spite

1211
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:34,960
Speaker 1: of he involves around him. Yeah, absolutely, you're winning become

1212
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:37,000
Speaker 1: because of And let's not forget you mentioned it with

1213
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:41,720
Speaker 1: the athletic quarterback. When your quarterback can run and you

1214
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:44,440
Speaker 1: have him involved in the in the run game, a

1215
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 1: designated run. I'm not talking about creative plays, extending plays

1216
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:50,640
Speaker 1: with your feet. I'm talking about plays where the defense

1217
01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:54,560
Speaker 1: knows they have to defend the quarterbacks legs. That's playing

1218
01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 1: on eleven on eleven. When the quarterback can't run, you're

1219
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:00,720
Speaker 1: playing eleven on ten. So it does change the way

1220
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:03,920
Speaker 1: that you defend people. To me, I really feel strongly

1221
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:07,080
Speaker 1: about this. This is gonna come down to the defensive

1222
01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 1: front of Texas A and M. Getting Old Miss off schedule,

1223
01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:13,720
Speaker 1: getting Old Miss out of their comfort zone. What's their

1224
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 1: comfort zone? Go one hundred miles an hour? All right?

1225
01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:18,720
Speaker 1: Win on first down, get it first down, and then

1226
01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 1: it's off to the races. You don't let Texas A

1227
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:24,120
Speaker 1: and M substitute because they can't keep up with the tempo.

1228
01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:27,560
Speaker 1: And then you score in the red area. If Old

1229
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:31,680
Speaker 1: Miss and their offensive front cannot hold up and Texas

1230
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:33,919
Speaker 1: A and M starts to tee off, now you're gonna

1231
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 1: slow down Old Miss. They're probably gonna get a little

1232
01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:38,560
Speaker 1: bit frustrated. You've taken them out of their game. Their

1233
01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:42,080
Speaker 1: game is to dictate terms to the defense. Now, conversely,

1234
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:45,400
Speaker 1: Old Miss and their defensive front is all of a

1235
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:47,880
Speaker 1: sudden come on. I'm not saying their Texas A and M.

1236
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:50,400
Speaker 1: Texas A and M is you know, well, get the

1237
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:52,400
Speaker 1: second best front seven in football time. I'm telling you

1238
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:54,040
Speaker 1: right now, hey, AND's got the second best front seven

1239
01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 1: in football, no doubt. And that Old Miss team, though,

1240
01:01:57,520 --> 01:02:00,640
Speaker 1: is coming on. And so I think the Trench playing

1241
01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 1: this game coupled with what can you do with Zach

1242
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:07,040
Speaker 1: Calzatta if this thing turned into a track meet, I

1243
01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:09,160
Speaker 1: don't know if it's going to well, let's just say

1244
01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:11,600
Speaker 1: Old Miss gets a bunch of explosive plays. Let's just

1245
01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:14,120
Speaker 1: say they get up seventeen seven or they got up

1246
01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:18,040
Speaker 1: fourteen nothing. Could you win this game with Zach Calzatta's arms?

1247
01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 1: A great point, Tom, that's a great point. Catch up, right?

1248
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:24,000
Speaker 1: Could you do that? I don't know if you know

1249
01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:25,480
Speaker 1: the answer to that question. They didn't have to do

1250
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:28,280
Speaker 1: it versus Auburn because you had the bow knicks of

1251
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:31,040
Speaker 1: old and an Auburn football team that couldn't run the football,

1252
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:34,320
Speaker 1: and that was an advantage for an inexperienced quarterback in

1253
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:36,720
Speaker 1: Zach Calzatta. Into your point, it just took the second

1254
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:39,920
Speaker 1: half of that manifestis here's what I think is about

1255
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:41,760
Speaker 1: to happen in this game, because I've watched Lane for

1256
01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:43,280
Speaker 1: a long time and I know and I want to

1257
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 1: get to Georgia, Tennessee. We're here with Tom Lukan from

1258
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:47,920
Speaker 1: ESPN catch them with Barrett Sally, another one of our favorites.

1259
01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:49,960
Speaker 1: Fellow Braves fan, Tom, I'm sorry I had to throw

1260
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:52,960
Speaker 1: that in there on Serious X and they do a

1261
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:55,040
Speaker 1: great job of the College Football Channel ESPN. You check

1262
01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:56,920
Speaker 1: that out as well. But Tom, I look at this

1263
01:02:56,920 --> 01:02:58,760
Speaker 1: game and I think what Lane's gonna do is say, Okay,

1264
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:00,640
Speaker 1: I get it. You guys up front. The front seven

1265
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:02,920
Speaker 1: are really good against the run, really good against the run.

1266
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:04,800
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna try and run it because Lane

1267
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:06,919
Speaker 1: has to try and run it, whether it's that lead zone.

1268
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:08,760
Speaker 1: They'd like to run with Snoop and work in the

1269
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:11,160
Speaker 1: perimeter a little bit and stretching him out and using

1270
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 1: Matt's legs as you know, beat up as he is.

1271
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:15,600
Speaker 1: But I see them using a lot of quick game

1272
01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:19,200
Speaker 1: and modified runs in the passing game on early downs

1273
01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:21,280
Speaker 1: to get A and M. Because I think I think

1274
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:23,480
Speaker 1: A and M at first, if I'm a M, I'm

1275
01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:25,040
Speaker 1: playing off of them a little bit. They're gonna give

1276
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:26,959
Speaker 1: up that quick game early and then they're gonna start

1277
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:28,959
Speaker 1: coming down and that's when you're gonna see Lane start

1278
01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:31,320
Speaker 1: taking shots with the wheels that you're gonna see Lane

1279
01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:33,760
Speaker 1: start taking as one on one shots and saying, Matt Corrall,

1280
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:35,160
Speaker 1: you got to throw the back shoulder to beat him,

1281
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:36,680
Speaker 1: or we're not gonna be able to get yards. So

1282
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 1: I find that part of it fascinating. And then looking

1283
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:41,600
Speaker 1: turning another page, and we're not even talking about Auburn

1284
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:44,560
Speaker 1: in Mississippi State right now, which is totally different ideologies

1285
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 1: offense to offense defense. You know, we can we can

1286
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:50,880
Speaker 1: get into that. But Georgia and Tennessee, Tom and Tennessee

1287
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:54,200
Speaker 1: right now, and I know they haven't beaten anybody elite,

1288
01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:57,040
Speaker 1: but that went over Kentucky was huge for them. And

1289
01:03:57,360 --> 01:03:59,240
Speaker 1: seeing the way that Hypel has them believing in the

1290
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 1: identity and and they're playing for him and all this.

1291
01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:03,760
Speaker 1: I look at this game. We know Nielan's gonna be nuts,

1292
01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:07,280
Speaker 1: we know that George has been really consistent. I think

1293
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:09,880
Speaker 1: Tennessee covers this twenty and a half. But I'm very

1294
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:13,240
Speaker 1: interested to see the same point that you brought up

1295
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:15,400
Speaker 1: about Zach Calzada and the A and M offense having

1296
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:18,680
Speaker 1: to come from behind. Tennessee doesn't hold the ball very long.

1297
01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 1: They scored really thirty eight points in fourteen minutes of

1298
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 1: possession last week. That's hard to do, even operating at

1299
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 1: the speed they do. But if they get up on Georgia,

1300
01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:30,640
Speaker 1: do you see Stetson being able to and I actually

1301
01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:33,440
Speaker 1: think he could tom bring Georgia back. I'd much rather

1302
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 1: have Stetson Bennett behind centered than Zach Calzatta. That's just

1303
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:37,920
Speaker 1: the truth right now with where they're both at. That's

1304
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:41,040
Speaker 1: my opinion. Though I agree with that. I think he's

1305
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:44,160
Speaker 1: further along. He's got more established playmakers around him, and

1306
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:46,960
Speaker 1: you know, to me, this is gonna be the best

1307
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:49,080
Speaker 1: offense George is gonna face throughout the rest of the

1308
01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:51,880
Speaker 1: regular season for Shure. And what people may not realize

1309
01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:54,800
Speaker 1: about Tennessee, they have better offensive personnel than people think

1310
01:04:54,840 --> 01:05:00,720
Speaker 1: they do. Yeah, Cedric Tillman, Jalen Hyatt, Yeah, Jones, and

1311
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:03,680
Speaker 1: he's a returner as well. And then Hennon Hooker has

1312
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 1: been able to do what he was not capable of

1313
01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:08,840
Speaker 1: doing at Virginia Tech, and that is to string together

1314
01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:12,880
Speaker 1: successive quality performances where he's gotten better. See the problem

1315
01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:15,440
Speaker 1: with Hendon Hooker in the past is you'll see flashes

1316
01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:18,120
Speaker 1: and then he'll dip down, and then he'll see flashes

1317
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 1: and then he'll dip down. He's been reliable, and you know,

1318
01:05:22,200 --> 01:05:25,760
Speaker 1: do I think Georgia would be capable of getting to

1319
01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:29,720
Speaker 1: a scoring race with Tennessee. Yes. The question remains for

1320
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:33,160
Speaker 1: me the same as it has been every single week.

1321
01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:36,920
Speaker 1: Two things, if you're going to have a chance to

1322
01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:41,120
Speaker 1: beat Georgia, can you score at least forty? And number two,

1323
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:43,919
Speaker 1: you need Georgia to help you. And what I mean

1324
01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:46,720
Speaker 1: by that is they need to do something uncharacteristic to

1325
01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:49,600
Speaker 1: their nature, right, give up a pick six, all right,

1326
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:54,240
Speaker 1: give up a punt return for a touchdown? Yeah, right,

1327
01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:57,720
Speaker 1: stuff that they don't do because when the talent is

1328
01:05:57,760 --> 01:06:02,000
Speaker 1: not equitable, all right, you're gonna need help. And I'm

1329
01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:04,280
Speaker 1: looking at this team, and I've really said the same

1330
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:06,800
Speaker 1: thing about Alabama too. And you look at the Texas

1331
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:09,960
Speaker 1: and loss. The Texas A and M loss. Alabama helped them,

1332
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:12,560
Speaker 1: and Texas A and M scored forty one points. I

1333
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:15,240
Speaker 1: don't know if Tennessee could score fourty or more, but

1334
01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:18,000
Speaker 1: if they can, that will be a football game that

1335
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:20,919
Speaker 1: will go into the last seven minutes of the fourth quarter. Yeah,

1336
01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:23,320
Speaker 1: I'm just inject this into my veins. I'm so here,

1337
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:25,680
Speaker 1: I'm so here for all these matchups. I love seeing that.

1338
01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:28,120
Speaker 1: That's the coolest thing about college football is you see

1339
01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:31,560
Speaker 1: a ton of different systems. In the NFL, everybody really

1340
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:33,880
Speaker 1: kind of runs the same stuff, just with a little

1341
01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:36,320
Speaker 1: bit of different flavor in it. In college, you can

1342
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 1: get the air raid versus triple option. You can get

1343
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 1: you know, ole Missus running gun fun and gun under

1344
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:45,520
Speaker 1: the sun with Lane and friends against a you know,

1345
01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:47,760
Speaker 1: an A and M offense. That's very pro style. But

1346
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:50,560
Speaker 1: speaking about pro style, you're always a pro Tom Lugan

1347
01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:52,760
Speaker 1: Bill appreciate you hopping on. Tell everybody again where they

1348
01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:56,160
Speaker 1: can find your workmen. It's great stuff ESPN dot com

1349
01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:59,480
Speaker 1: obviously with our coverage and recruiting and college football and

1350
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:02,280
Speaker 1: our crew along with myself, Dave Patched and Dusty Devorchik,

1351
01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:06,720
Speaker 1: and we've got Notre Dame at Virginia on a Saturday night.

1352
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 1: I'm crossing my fingers. If Brennan Armstrong can go all right,

1353
01:07:12,520 --> 01:07:14,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna be in for a barn burner. Tom, I

1354
01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:16,800
Speaker 1: need I need to know, because I'm calling the upset

1355
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:19,040
Speaker 1: Virginia over Notre Dame. I mean, are we feeling good

1356
01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:20,960
Speaker 1: about Brennan Armstrong playing. I'm trying to remember what the

1357
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:22,960
Speaker 1: injury was. I can't remember the top well it was.

1358
01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:26,240
Speaker 1: Fortunately it was two weeks ago versus b YU and

1359
01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:28,720
Speaker 1: then they had to buy a following. It's a rib injury.

1360
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:32,080
Speaker 1: Nobody knows the severity. Obviously, Broncoleman and Hall has done

1361
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:34,200
Speaker 1: a very good job of trying to be optimistic but

1362
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:36,800
Speaker 1: not telling anybody anything at the same time. But I'm

1363
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:38,680
Speaker 1: not kidding if if those of you who are college

1364
01:07:38,720 --> 01:07:41,880
Speaker 1: football fans have not watched Brennan Armstrong, and he's good

1365
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:44,440
Speaker 1: and a real treat. He is a hell of a

1366
01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:47,040
Speaker 1: football player and that offense is really explosive. They have

1367
01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:49,840
Speaker 1: a few witches at receiver too, so we'll see it. Man,

1368
01:07:49,880 --> 01:07:52,360
Speaker 1: I'm calling the upset Virginia over Notre Dame. Tom never

1369
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:54,400
Speaker 1: upset when you stop by, brother. Let's do it again soon,

1370
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:57,360
Speaker 1: you batman. Thanks for having me, all right, see you,

1371
01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:03,040
Speaker 1: Tom channeling his inner Kevin Costner rock and the cowboy hat,

1372
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:06,640
Speaker 1: the stetson. You gotta respect it very respected brand. Speaking

1373
01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:09,240
Speaker 1: about respect, I want to get to the SEC power

1374
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:12,960
Speaker 1: rankings real quick. Conere you ready to go? Let's see here. Yes,

1375
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:14,919
Speaker 1: you want to go west first, Let's go west first?

1376
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:16,080
Speaker 1: We go? Or you want to go east first? You

1377
01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:18,479
Speaker 1: won't you take a question first? Let's take a question first.

1378
01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:21,000
Speaker 1: From always here and the Booster The Booster Club is

1379
01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:24,080
Speaker 1: always ready and willing to learn. Popping. Um, we got

1380
01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:26,599
Speaker 1: a question from the green soldier, not the blue soldier.

1381
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 1: The green soldier, he says, Blaine, which is me? Asked

1382
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:32,519
Speaker 1: Jay boy, which is you? When you guys get a moment.

1383
01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:35,559
Speaker 1: Why does old media do such a poor job teaching

1384
01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:38,960
Speaker 1: people football in their commentary coverage compared to newer media.

1385
01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:43,040
Speaker 1: I've never understood why they don't. Um, you know, and

1386
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:45,439
Speaker 1: there's the old, older media guys that have done a

1387
01:08:45,479 --> 01:08:47,479
Speaker 1: good job going into it. I just think the space

1388
01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:50,280
Speaker 1: has changed. I mean, I think now everybody has access

1389
01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:52,280
Speaker 1: to the games. You can't just get on there and

1390
01:08:52,320 --> 01:08:55,320
Speaker 1: be like, hey, well Alabama's gonna win because they can

1391
01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 1: run the ball good like that. That's not good enough anymore.

1392
01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:01,280
Speaker 1: You've got to be able to go in depth. And

1393
01:09:01,320 --> 01:09:04,559
Speaker 1: I think once you've you've made access to not only

1394
01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:07,840
Speaker 1: the big games, but every single game, people are a

1395
01:09:07,840 --> 01:09:10,600
Speaker 1: lot more informed. Therefore, the information and the knowledge that

1396
01:09:10,680 --> 01:09:13,840
Speaker 1: people want needs to be more informed, needs to be

1397
01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:16,640
Speaker 1: kind of more in depth and not as generic. Not

1398
01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:19,800
Speaker 1: that the generic headlines still don't work. They still work

1399
01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:22,639
Speaker 1: to a certain point, but the fan is getting smarter,

1400
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:25,519
Speaker 1: and as long as the fan continues to get smarter

1401
01:09:25,760 --> 01:09:28,839
Speaker 1: than the people that cover it and try to impart

1402
01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:30,640
Speaker 1: at least a little bit of knowledge. That's what I

1403
01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:32,400
Speaker 1: like to think we do here on the fans has

1404
01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:34,880
Speaker 1: to be smarter. But isn't it so nice to be

1405
01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:37,200
Speaker 1: able to turn into a show, tune into a show

1406
01:09:37,240 --> 01:09:42,480
Speaker 1: and actually talk about football type things, talk coverages without

1407
01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:45,120
Speaker 1: being too in depth, but being in depth enough where

1408
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:47,960
Speaker 1: you know something. And that, my friends, is where the

1409
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:52,360
Speaker 1: birth of when the water cooler started. It's great. Do

1410
01:09:52,439 --> 01:09:54,640
Speaker 1: you have your power rankings listed? I got him. I

1411
01:09:54,680 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 1: can do them off top of my head. All right,

1412
01:09:56,920 --> 01:09:59,040
Speaker 1: So the SEC West, here's what I'm thinking, and I

1413
01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:01,120
Speaker 1: want the booster clubs or actually on this SEC West.

1414
01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:04,200
Speaker 1: I've got Bama one. You've got to put A and M. Two,

1415
01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:07,120
Speaker 1: You've got to put them two. I've got Auburn three,

1416
01:10:07,680 --> 01:10:12,639
Speaker 1: I've got Ole Miss four. I've actually got Mississippi State

1417
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:16,760
Speaker 1: at five right now, I think you have to Then

1418
01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:19,759
Speaker 1: I've got Arkansas at six and LSU and seven. Now,

1419
01:10:20,760 --> 01:10:26,120
Speaker 1: really I would say three through six. You can make

1420
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:28,240
Speaker 1: a ton of different arguments who should go where? I

1421
01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:30,479
Speaker 1: think it's hard not to say A and M. Who's

1422
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:32,920
Speaker 1: beating Alabama and now he's beating Auburn and now gets

1423
01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:35,479
Speaker 1: an opportunity to go play Ole miss. How you don't

1424
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:38,320
Speaker 1: have them number two, especially since they've kind of found

1425
01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:41,800
Speaker 1: themselves to some point. I know, offensively you want a

1426
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:44,080
Speaker 1: little bit more, but A and M has realized who

1427
01:10:44,080 --> 01:10:46,439
Speaker 1: they are, They've found out what they're good at, They've

1428
01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:48,720
Speaker 1: accentuated what they're good at, and I think you've got

1429
01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:50,320
Speaker 1: to put them number two in the West. But there

1430
01:10:50,400 --> 01:10:52,960
Speaker 1: is a lot of argument in my opinion three through six,

1431
01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:55,400
Speaker 1: and really, if we want to be honest three through seven,

1432
01:10:55,400 --> 01:10:57,519
Speaker 1: because it wasn't like LSU just went and laid down

1433
01:10:57,520 --> 01:10:59,880
Speaker 1: at Alabama either. I know they got up to play it,

1434
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:03,160
Speaker 1: but just in general, looking at everything an aggregate, I

1435
01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:05,320
Speaker 1: think you got to have LSU at seven Arkansas its

1436
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:08,880
Speaker 1: upsets them, It's gonna make things even more interesting. I mean,

1437
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:11,439
Speaker 1: we have to we have to go back and reevaluate again.

1438
01:11:11,720 --> 01:11:13,920
Speaker 1: And if all miss upsets them, if you're Auburn and

1439
01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:17,280
Speaker 1: you're sitting there, that's why everybody that you know, this

1440
01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:19,759
Speaker 1: Mississippi State game is important, but it's really not that important.

1441
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:22,120
Speaker 1: You play them at noon, you win that one, and

1442
01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:24,840
Speaker 1: it gets weird at seven Eastern in Oxford with game

1443
01:11:24,920 --> 01:11:28,760
Speaker 1: day there, it's gonna get it's it's it's gonna get

1444
01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:32,439
Speaker 1: real emotional over the last two weeks. Yeah, the story

1445
01:11:32,479 --> 01:11:34,720
Speaker 1: hasn't been written. It hasn't been written. We we've read

1446
01:11:34,800 --> 01:11:38,080
Speaker 1: half the book. We know what the conflict is, but

1447
01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:40,760
Speaker 1: we don't know the climax yet. We know the characters

1448
01:11:41,439 --> 01:11:48,040
Speaker 1: supporting main lead in a non fiction book, not some

1449
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:50,000
Speaker 1: of the fiction books that people are putting out there

1450
01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:54,200
Speaker 1: the fiction tier. But in my East East, give me

1451
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:57,679
Speaker 1: Georgia number one, shocker, I hope everybody's all right. Number two,

1452
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:00,080
Speaker 1: Give me Tennessee. I don't know how you can't say,

1453
01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:02,639
Speaker 1: I know, standings wise there at three. They just went

1454
01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:05,000
Speaker 1: on the road and beat Kentucky. They're playing about as

1455
01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:07,080
Speaker 1: well as anybody outside of George and the East, better

1456
01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:09,559
Speaker 1: than anybody outside the East. I think you put Kentucky

1457
01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:13,880
Speaker 1: at three right now? Uh you know, and and I

1458
01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:15,800
Speaker 1: do that, and I still believe in Kentucky obviously what

1459
01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:17,479
Speaker 1: Mark Tups and them are doing. Tennessee just went up

1460
01:12:17,479 --> 01:12:19,920
Speaker 1: there and beat them, And you got to put Tennessee

1461
01:12:20,120 --> 01:12:22,560
Speaker 1: where they deserve to be. Now, now here's where it

1462
01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:24,759
Speaker 1: gets really interesting. How do you not put South Carolina

1463
01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:27,479
Speaker 1: four to almost. They just they've got they've got a

1464
01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:31,280
Speaker 1: better record than FODA does and they just beat beat

1465
01:12:31,320 --> 01:12:34,439
Speaker 1: them badly at home. South Carolina has gotta be four.

1466
01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:38,960
Speaker 1: And if South Carolina finishes four in the East, what

1467
01:12:41,280 --> 01:12:46,280
Speaker 1: comes out comes out that Florida finishes fifth or lower?

1468
01:12:46,320 --> 01:12:52,200
Speaker 1: After all the flak you caught first, I gave them

1469
01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:55,240
Speaker 1: too much credit. Oh you heard it here first, that's

1470
01:12:55,240 --> 01:12:58,240
Speaker 1: exactly right. So I got South Calina at four, give

1471
01:12:58,280 --> 01:13:02,320
Speaker 1: me Flourida at five, give me Missouri at six, and

1472
01:13:02,439 --> 01:13:05,639
Speaker 1: good old Vandy at seven, Good old sturdy Vandy. Hey,

1473
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:08,160
Speaker 1: if somebody's got to be the caboose, somebody's gonna make

1474
01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:11,640
Speaker 1: sure the ship's not leaking underneath it. That's Vandy. I mean,

1475
01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:13,640
Speaker 1: I think there's are pretty legitimate rankings. I agree, I

1476
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:16,479
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, there's a lot more wiggle room arguing,

1477
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:18,479
Speaker 1: I think in the West than there is in the East.

1478
01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:20,639
Speaker 1: But let me tell you where there isn't any wiggle room.

1479
01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:23,840
Speaker 1: You got some picks tonight, We got some picks. We

1480
01:13:23,960 --> 01:13:25,920
Speaker 1: got some picks. We got some picks. I might go

1481
01:13:25,920 --> 01:13:29,120
Speaker 1: to Blaine first. Got a ten dollars hit that button,

1482
01:13:29,160 --> 01:13:36,720
Speaker 1: Cony Cassie coming back with another joy, Guy says jo

1483
01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:39,200
Speaker 1: Boy got a question for you. How many major football

1484
01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:42,559
Speaker 1: teams could go independent and have no drop off? He says,

1485
01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:47,080
Speaker 1: I'm thinking Texas Bama. Who else would you have? Well,

1486
01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:49,000
Speaker 1: the thing about going independent is if too many people

1487
01:13:49,080 --> 01:13:54,799
Speaker 1: go independent, there's not enough games Like here, you're you're

1488
01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:57,000
Speaker 1: still gonna have enough people in conferences where you're like,

1489
01:13:57,320 --> 01:13:59,240
Speaker 1: we get to a certain stop gap point where you're like,

1490
01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:01,439
Speaker 1: well this is where it kind of ducks off to me.

1491
01:14:01,640 --> 01:14:03,920
Speaker 1: And if you're saying, like have success, like winning, there's

1492
01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:07,040
Speaker 1: a ton of major programs that can go independent and win.

1493
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:09,679
Speaker 1: But the thing that sucks about coming independence, you're probably

1494
01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:11,599
Speaker 1: got to play at least one or two triple option teams.

1495
01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:14,439
Speaker 1: And I'm not doing it. If I was an ad,

1496
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:16,720
Speaker 1: first thing, I'd go in there first day'd be like,

1497
01:14:16,760 --> 01:14:18,479
Speaker 1: let me tell you all what we're not doing. We're

1498
01:14:18,479 --> 01:14:21,920
Speaker 1: not scheduling any triple option team. Don't get me Liberty either,

1499
01:14:22,280 --> 01:14:24,559
Speaker 1: don't get me Coastal. There's gonna be four teams that

1500
01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:27,240
Speaker 1: you're not giving me because it's a loose lose, But

1501
01:14:27,439 --> 01:14:30,519
Speaker 1: we are, for damn sure not playing a triple option team.

1502
01:14:30,640 --> 01:14:32,519
Speaker 1: We are not playing Navy, we are not playing Army,

1503
01:14:32,560 --> 01:14:35,040
Speaker 1: we are not playing air Force. I want no part

1504
01:14:35,080 --> 01:14:37,840
Speaker 1: of it, no part of it, because you have to

1505
01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:40,160
Speaker 1: go over it and over it and over it and

1506
01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:42,599
Speaker 1: over it, and then you're like, what's going on when

1507
01:14:42,600 --> 01:14:45,160
Speaker 1: the game's playing, and you're like, wow, third and one again.

1508
01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:47,519
Speaker 1: Here they go dive, which if you want to know

1509
01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:49,479
Speaker 1: how to beat the triple, take away the dive. That's

1510
01:14:49,479 --> 01:14:52,240
Speaker 1: how you beat it. All right, let's get to picks

1511
01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:56,120
Speaker 1: hot week this week. I didn't tweet this out, but

1512
01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:58,880
Speaker 1: I do have the ticket. I guess as you say.

1513
01:14:58,920 --> 01:15:01,559
Speaker 1: I took the Steelers over with the Bears last night

1514
01:15:02,120 --> 01:15:04,320
Speaker 1: just to see how the week was feeling. Early start,

1515
01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:08,400
Speaker 1: early start. Wow, six minutes to go twenty three thirteen

1516
01:15:08,800 --> 01:15:11,400
Speaker 1: For you math geniuses out there, that's thirty six. I

1517
01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:14,839
Speaker 1: had forty We get a fumbled punt return for a touchdown.

1518
01:15:15,200 --> 01:15:18,760
Speaker 1: Great start to the week, twenty seven. You want to

1519
01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:20,760
Speaker 1: hear something hilarious too before we get off. I had

1520
01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:22,920
Speaker 1: to take a call last night during the game, so

1521
01:15:22,960 --> 01:15:25,559
Speaker 1: I paused it when outside took the call because they

1522
01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:27,880
Speaker 1: didn't want to miss any action. Came back in, started

1523
01:15:27,880 --> 01:15:31,240
Speaker 1: the game and tweeting as if I'm live tweeting the game.

1524
01:15:32,439 --> 01:15:34,360
Speaker 1: So people on Twitter were like, dogg, are you like

1525
01:15:34,439 --> 01:15:37,360
Speaker 1: ten minutes late? Then I realized I had not fast

1526
01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:39,400
Speaker 1: forwarded it to where it actually wasn't time and where

1527
01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:42,360
Speaker 1: I was, I was like, break their hearts justin fields.

1528
01:15:42,520 --> 01:15:45,519
Speaker 1: When they scored the touchdown to take the lead timing,

1529
01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:47,040
Speaker 1: I was like, dude, I think you're like ten minutes

1530
01:15:47,280 --> 01:15:50,200
Speaker 1: because the Steelers just took the leak. So probably like

1531
01:15:50,200 --> 01:15:52,519
Speaker 1: an absolute idiot on Twitter, but it's just funny. I'm

1532
01:15:52,520 --> 01:15:54,080
Speaker 1: sure I'm not the only person that's happened too. But

1533
01:15:54,800 --> 01:15:56,880
Speaker 1: let me tell you what's gonna happen to Ohio tonight.

1534
01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:01,360
Speaker 1: You got Eastern good Cock, Eastern Train, give me the Eagles.

1535
01:16:01,360 --> 01:16:03,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if Eagles could call, but give me

1536
01:16:03,439 --> 01:16:06,240
Speaker 1: Eastern Michigan. So when I took this bet, it was

1537
01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:07,960
Speaker 1: a five and a half. Eastern Michigan was five at

1538
01:16:07,960 --> 01:16:09,320
Speaker 1: that point favorite. Then it moved up to six and

1539
01:16:09,360 --> 01:16:11,200
Speaker 1: a half, so I'm getting it. It's a two way go.

1540
01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:15,439
Speaker 1: We're rpoing the pick. You see what I'm saying. I'm

1541
01:16:15,479 --> 01:16:17,439
Speaker 1: taking the minus five and a half or the minus

1542

Speaker 1: six and a half. It's both under seven. Give me

1543

Speaker 1: Eastern Michigan minus five and a half or minus six

1544
01:16:22,200 --> 01:16:24,479
Speaker 1: and a half. Go to Fandel dot com if you don't.

01:17:18,680 --> 01:17:25,719
Speaker 1: ride together. We die together. Blake called me, Stephen Glansburg myself,

1565
01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:30,120
Speaker 1: no better train. I'm not on the Eastern train. If

1566
01:17:30,160 --> 01:17:32,679
Speaker 1: they lose, we are gonna get cleaned up on. Yeah.

1567
01:17:32,680 --> 01:17:35,000
Speaker 1: This is what I'm taking, all right. Not the best

1568
01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:38,080
Speaker 1: record last week in maction, but you know they were

1569
01:17:38,080 --> 01:17:40,680
Speaker 1: out to be they were out to get me. You

1570
01:17:40,720 --> 01:17:43,519
Speaker 1: came back a real one down. Yeah, I promised that.

1571
01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:45,520
Speaker 1: So this is one I'm taking. I'm taking to Buffalo

1572
01:17:46,160 --> 01:17:49,320
Speaker 1: TTP twenty three and a half. I think Buffalo scored

1573
01:17:49,439 --> 01:17:52,600
Speaker 1: under twenty five points one time. That was first Nebraska.

1574
01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:55,360
Speaker 1: The Buffalo offense on the ground is good, and I

1575
01:17:55,400 --> 01:17:58,639
Speaker 1: believe in it. I believe they at least twenty Miami Ohio, right, yeah,

1576
01:17:58,880 --> 01:18:02,679
Speaker 1: plays Miami Ohio. You just lost to Ohio, who dropped

1577
01:18:02,720 --> 01:18:04,800
Speaker 1: thirty six point on them in The Ohio offense has

1578
01:18:04,840 --> 01:18:07,400
Speaker 1: been a nimick the entire year. So and I'm also

1579
01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:10,519
Speaker 1: making a terrible decision, but I'm gonna do it. I'm

1580
01:18:10,600 --> 01:18:14,320
Speaker 1: gonna take the under in the Western Michigan Akron game.

1581
01:18:14,439 --> 01:18:18,400
Speaker 1: These are two running teams two and a half. These

1582
01:18:18,439 --> 01:18:22,000
Speaker 1: are two running teams. A lot a lot of points,

1583
01:18:22,120 --> 01:18:25,120
Speaker 1: you know, Akron coaching change. There's the interim in there now,

1584
01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:27,800
Speaker 1: it's a transition. And you look back and you look

1585
01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:31,000
Speaker 1: at that Western Michigan game, and the defense didn't play terrible.

1586
01:18:31,320 --> 01:18:33,840
Speaker 1: They gave up a lot of points on special teams.

1587
01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:37,080
Speaker 1: So two running team. Western Michigan keeps the ball almost

1588
01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:39,280
Speaker 1: the entire game. And I don't think Akron's gonna have

1589
01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:41,760
Speaker 1: the same success they did passing the ball that over

1590
01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:44,120
Speaker 1: three hundred yards passing their last game. I don't think

1591
01:18:44,160 --> 01:18:45,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna do that. So I am taking the under,

1592
01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:47,920
Speaker 1: all right. I like it, guys, And that's the action.

1593
01:18:47,960 --> 01:18:50,680
Speaker 1: That's the picks for tonight. We're one forty six and

1594
01:18:50,840 --> 01:18:54,439
