But for this, we just wanted to 27 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 2: get out our thoughts on all the game Sursday Friday, 28 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 2: so we'll have an episode that comes out Monday to 29 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 2: the covers UNC TCU. So let's get right into it. 30 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 2: I guess before we get into it, do you have 31 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 2: any one takeaway from week zero? There's a lot of 32 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 2: sloppy football. I would state Kansas State was pretty sloppy, 33 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 2: pretty disappointed in what Kansas State looked like. UNLV looked 34 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 2: really poor. Let's get right into the games. We got 35 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 2: a lot to get to, so we'll start five thirty 36 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 2: eastern on ESPN. We're heading down to the Panhandle in Florida. 37 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 2: USF will host Boise State right now, Boise State six 38 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 2: and a half point favorite total sixty three and a half. 39 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:27,239 Speaker 2: I played USF here, talked about this all summer. I 40 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 2: really wanted seven or better, so I would if you 41 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 2: didn't bet it already and you weren't following along to 42 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 2: the award winning Action Network Gap, I'd wait to see 43 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 2: if it's seven pops again. If you do want to 44 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 2: follow along on USF. Humidity weather could be an advantage 45 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 2: here for USF early in the season. The Bulls haven't 46 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 2: been a ranked team since twenty sixteen or zero to 47 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 2: nineteen over that stretch. But if you're going to give 48 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 2: Boise a game, Byron Brown healthy, different offense with him, 49 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 2: saw how much he meant to that offense last year 50 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 2: just wasn't the same. They've been recruiting well over the 51 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 2: past couple of years. Alice Golds just has this program 52 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 2: on the rise. I just like where they're building toward 53 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,959 Speaker 2: this Boise State team. They're good, but there's no Ashton 54 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 2: Genty here. It's the seventh offensive coordinator since twenty nineteen. 55 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 2: There's still a couple spots on the offensive line left guard, 56 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 2: right tackle that questions about and USF just lots of seniors. 57 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 2: I mean, you look no further than that offensive line. 58 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 2: You got five grad senior starters over one hundred and 59 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 2: fifteen career starts. There. There are a couple questions I 60 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 2: have with South Florida. Lost a three headed monster at 61 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 2: running back, lost some guys that they counted on last 62 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 2: year at wide receiver. So the skill positions assuming Brown 63 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 2: is healthy. Well, the skill positions hit early, That's what 64 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 2: I'm watching. I've liked who they brought in, that's kind 65 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 2: of the biggest question. And then there's probably two sophomore 66 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 2: starters in the secondary. But I like usf here seven 67 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 2: or better. I'll call right now. I think they pull 68 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 2: up up. What's say you? In this game? 69 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 3: One unrecent they were going to be in a money 70 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 3: line round robin. There is a six and a half 71 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 3: out there right now on the board. I'm probably gonna 72 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 3: take that by the time you and I get to talk. 73 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 3: And I haven't fired on it because my projection was higher, 74 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 3: like around ten. But I think I was in the 75 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 3: exact same position a year ago when jend and this 76 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 3: team went to Georgia Southern. And I don't know if 77 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 3: it's the heat or what, but they couldn't tackle and 78 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 3: Eric Snander is still the defensive coordinator last that I checked. Now, 79 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 3: I think it's a drop off on the offensive coordinator 80 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 3: side for Boise State. But let's be realistic here about 81 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 3: Maddox Matts. And everybody loves this twenty one to three 82 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 3: TD to I int rate, but seven big time throws 83 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 3: to thirteen turnover worthy plays I mean, there's smoking mears 84 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 3: in this kid's number, and I really think they have 85 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 3: a downgrade offensive coordinator. This is almost the same weather 86 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 3: that we had at Georgia Southern. I mean it's it's 87 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 3: going to be humid eighty eight degrees. I think that 88 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 3: plays a factor. You know, you mentioned Byron Brown. All 89 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 3: we need is a healthy Byron Brown, and we know 90 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 3: that we're going to get that in this game. It's 91 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 3: probably the last time we'll know if he's healthy. But again, 92 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 3: I take it back to Eric Shenander because he's had 93 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 3: problems at all of the stops UCF Nebraska here, but 94 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 3: it's just a very loose, poor tackling defense. You could 95 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 3: get some weather here and you get a bunch of 96 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 3: South Florida players, they can absolutely juke you out of 97 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 3: your shoes. So I'm with you on this. I'm going 98 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 3: to buy this six and it just got hit. I'm 99 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 3: buying it right now in the app. You've already got it. 100 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 3: It's going to be a money line. 101 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 2: I think the dog is the player. I projected close 102 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 2: to five, So I like South Florida there. Let's move 103 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 2: on to six Eastern on Big ten Network, Ohio and Rutgers. 104 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 4: How about those skull it nights and Rutgers Rutgers down 105 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 4: said in a fifteen and a half point favorite total 106 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 4: forty nine and a half. 107 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 2: The two games I talked about all summer primarily were 108 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 2: USF and Rutgers. I love the Rutgers, bought them early. 109 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 2: I would still lean that way at fifteen and a 110 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 2: half if I had to play it. But it's getting 111 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 2: up there in price. I mean I projected. Let me see, 112 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 2: I project a little over seventeen. I'm super super low 113 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 2: on Ohio coming into the year now, for what it's worth, 114 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 2: I was last year too and was dead wrong, but 115 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 2: returning production huge advantage here Rutgers. I think their top 116 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 2: twenty in the country. Ohio is close to right around 117 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 2: one hundredth and this is a team that's bottom ten 118 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 2: and incoming talent Like they're just not bringing in a 119 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 2: ton of talent. Yes, Navarro is back at quarterback, but 120 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 2: you lose tie us at running back over twelve hundred 121 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 2: yards Olwen who was so big for them at receiver, 122 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 2: just that guy that Navarro would look to on third downs, 123 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 2: key downs. He had over twelve hundred yards receivers. You 124 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 2: also lose your top four offensive linemen. More importantly, the 125 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 2: defense just got absolutely ravaged. I mean, you lose your 126 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 2: top five defensive lineman, your top four linebackers, your top cornerback. 127 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 2: Even the special team should drop off. You look at 128 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 2: some of them like they're replacing a lot of those 129 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 2: guys who hit One of them, by the way, is 130 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 2: on Rutgers on the defensive line transferred to Rutgers, and 131 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 2: one of Rutgers's offensive line who used to be at Ohio. 132 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 2: This is just how college football is now back starting 133 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 2: at left tackle for Ohio, but they're replacing them with 134 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 2: guys from like Pine Bluff and lower level guys. The 135 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 2: defense could take an enormous step back. It was an 136 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 2: extremely underrated unit last year. And by the way, they 137 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,239 Speaker 2: also lost Tim Alvin to Charlotte. Rutgers they did lose. 138 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 2: They lost the eight or nine guys to the NFL 139 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 2: who were either drafted or signed understricted freators. There were 140 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 2: some talent that left bunch in the secondary, but that 141 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 2: defense was really hurt last year. New coordinator in probably 142 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 2: going to see more too high safety looks. I like 143 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 2: some of the talent that they brought in. I think 144 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 2: they approached the portal very intelligently. I think Ohio is 145 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 2: in trouble here. I think Rutgers puts it on them. 146 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 2: I think Rutgers minus the points is the play here. 147 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 2: What say you? 148 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I completely agree, But I took a different angle 149 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 3: at this. I mean, I can't get over the fact 150 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 3: there's one returner on the offensive line for Ohio that's 151 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 3: really bad against a Rutgers pass rush defense that was 152 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 3: top thirty five last year, and I expect that to 153 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 3: be the thing here. And if you like havoc on 154 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 3: the defensive side, Rutgers is always a staple on the 155 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 3: offensive side, and havoc allowed top five last year. I 156 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 3: believe they were top five the year before. It's just 157 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 3: what is Schiano's offense is they are very buttoned up 158 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 3: from the very start. They do not shoot themselves in 159 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 3: the foot. You know, this is an undersized Ohio defensive 160 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 3: line going up against mostly you know, returning experienced guys 161 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 3: for the Rutgers offensive line. So I expect Caliakmnus to 162 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 3: least not have hands in his face and to be 163 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 3: able to have time to make things happens. And running 164 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 3: back CJ. Campbell comes in from Fau last year four 165 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 3: yards after first contact, And I think the big question 166 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 3: is does Siano take his foot off the pedal. Sometimes 167 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 3: you get in these games and you're like, oh man, 168 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 3: I'm holding fifteen and a half. I don't know if 169 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 3: I can cover that. If you look at the box 170 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 3: score from the last two years, right non conference games 171 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 3: where he could have just taken his foot off the pedal. 172 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 3: Box score against Temple twenty three points in the fourth 173 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 3: quarter in twenty twenty three. Last year, twenty seven second 174 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,199 Speaker 3: half points for Rutgers against Howard, twenty eight second a 175 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 3: half points against Akron. Shiano does not take foot off 176 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,079 Speaker 3: the pedal when he gets involved with these smaller. 177 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 2: School meach Howard game was unbelievable. 178 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,839 Speaker 3: So I like the team total over thirty one and 179 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 3: a half over thirty two better than I do the spread, 180 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 3: although I don't expect Ohio to get their share of 181 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 3: points here, so I like them both, but I'm preferring 182 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 3: to play the team total over in Rutgers. 183 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 2: All right, let's move on to ECU at NC State, 184 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 2: little rivalry game here. I'm really looking forward to this 185 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 2: one seven pm Eastern on ACC network. When you're at 186 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 2: East Carolina. You go for it every time, or you. 187 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 3: Don't coach it East Carolina, you don't come to East Carolina. 188 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 3: You don't play it East Carolina with a weak heart, 189 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 3: and you write that down. 190 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 2: This is always fun when ECU plays NC State, but 191 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 2: the stakes are even higher because these two teams played 192 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 2: in a bowl game last year which ended with ECU 193 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 2: upsetting NC State and there was a brawl at the end. 194 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 2: There's no love loss between these two programs that are 195 00:09:55,120 --> 00:10:00,040 Speaker 2: close in proximity. Market has moved quite a bit on 196 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 2: the side and total in this game. This is another 197 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 2: game I mentioned all summer. I didn't I missed the 198 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 2: boat on the initial move. I wanted this over very 199 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 2: bad and high total, which is always scary. In Week one. 200 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 2: I also kind of wanted NC State and that got 201 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 2: popped yesterday as well. The way that I approached it 202 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 2: is I played NC State team total over thirty seven 203 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 2: and a half. I'm gonna be looking for a live 204 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 2: over too. If this starts out slow this there should 205 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 2: be a lot of tempo here now. NC State was 206 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,959 Speaker 2: super slow last year. I think they were like one 207 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 2: twenty ninth and seconds per play. They were like down 208 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 2: there with you Army and Navy, New OC and Kurt Roper. 209 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 2: He's talked a ton about tempo. A lot of coaches 210 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 2: do that, but I think that there's some merit here. 211 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 2: I think that they're gonna be significantly faster. I do 212 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 2: like the skill position players that NC State has. I 213 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 2: think this offense is gonna score because I like some 214 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 2: of the pieces. But most importantly, this ECU defense, I 215 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 2: think is going to take an enormous step back, one 216 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 2: defensive starter back, some of the talent that they brought 217 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 2: in not too high on. There's gonna be a huge 218 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 2: shop off on that defense. Same thing with NC State. 219 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 2: Like the NC State defense, I'm also worried about lose 220 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,959 Speaker 2: a good coordinator and then you have this ECU offense, 221 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 2: which we know is going to go fast, air raid, 222 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 2: So I think the tempo is going to be there. 223 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:27,719 Speaker 2: The NC State defense, I mean, you look, they lost 224 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 2: their top five defensive backs. You know, I think it's 225 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 2: just points points points, So maybe I'll look live on 226 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 2: the side. But the way I played it was the 227 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 2: team total over how does that last year's result impact 228 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 2: either the spread total the team total? In my case, 229 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 2: you know, if ec is trailing, like I don't know, 230 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 2: thirty five twenty one with a couple minutes to go, 231 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,319 Speaker 2: Like you could say, like, oh, NC State is fired 232 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 2: up revenge, but east Us fired up too. These teams 233 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,439 Speaker 2: don't like each other the way that I don't. The 234 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 2: only thing that I could see how see how that 235 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 2: impacts this game? NC State doesn't take any late launches 236 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 2: it in. You could get like an extra bonus score. 237 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,079 Speaker 2: That's about it. But I'm definitely worried about this NC 238 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 2: State NC State defense? What say you? 239 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 3: I agree with everything you said. I do make the 240 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 3: game sixteen, so I would still play NC State at 241 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 3: the current number, but I have I have struggled with 242 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 3: this total because I missed the boat on the over also, 243 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 3: and so now I'm starting to think at what point 244 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 3: do I fire on the under? But I think that 245 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,079 Speaker 3: the entire world is going to have an overticket. There 246 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 3: could be issues with offensive continuity. You know, Howser did 247 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,079 Speaker 3: not have a great bowl, and then you look at 248 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 3: scheme change, you know under roper for NC State, like 249 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 3: is that going to fire off with CJ. Bayley right 250 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 3: off the bat? I mean he was fourteen of eighteen 251 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 3: in big time throws, turnover worthy plays, casey CONCEPTSI one 252 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 3: is gone. Now your main target is tied end justin jolly, 253 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 3: and this offensive line is like, oh, NC State returns 254 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 3: over one hundred starts, but they were one hundred and 255 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 3: twenty ninth and havoc allowed. NC State was sloppy with 256 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 3: the ball. From a tempo perspective, you're correct, and this 257 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 3: ECU secondary is going to be one of the worst 258 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 3: in the AACE. So it's just impossible to even look 259 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 3: at it under. But at the same time, I would 260 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 3: have made this total last year in the bowl game 261 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 3: fifty four, which had ended like what forty seven? I 262 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 3: don't know. I'm kind of getting to the point where 263 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 3: it's like, once we cross a sixty two barrier, I'm 264 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 3: going to start looking under, maybe a first half under 265 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 3: because it's new schemes, right, and Housers not. It wasn't 266 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 3: that great against NC State in the first place, so 267 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 3: I lean INCY State, I might play a first half 268 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 3: under here. 269 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 2: Let's move on. Let's go back to the state of Florida. 270 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 2: Talk a little. Jacksonville State at UCF. Scheme kicks off 271 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 2: at seven pm Eastern on ESPN Plus. UCF got hit. 272 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 2: It was a service release that move this line right now. 273 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 2: You have said an eighteen and a half point favorite 274 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 2: totals down to fifty two and a half. Can it's 275 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 2: come down a couple points. These are two teams that 276 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 2: I want to sell early in the season. I mean, 277 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 2: jack Jacksonville State is a total reset. Eve a new 278 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 2: head coach, new offensive coordinator, and Clint Trickett could probably 279 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 2: get more pass heavy obviously going from rich Rod to 280 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 2: trick It. But Gavin Winsett is your quarterback. Not a 281 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 2: fan there, Uh, you're hit. Their best player is probably 282 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 2: pet Way, the receiver, but I don't think he's gonna play. 283 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,719 Speaker 2: He's not on the depth chart. He's been dealing with 284 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 2: an injury, game time decision, and he's probably their most 285 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 2: reliable player. On offense, their tackles could be former transfers 286 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 2: from Hampton and Tusculum freshman center not great. Their their 287 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 2: d also lost everyone in the back seven UCF same thing. 288 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 2: It's a complete reset. They could start like eight to 289 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 2: nine transfers on offense. I probably eight to nine on defense, 290 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 2: seven to eight on on offense. You're gonna have Scott 291 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 2: Frost coming in. How fast is Frost gonna go? That's 292 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 2: a question I have. Cam Fancher was named the starting quarterback. 293 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 2: That can't be a good sign for how that quarterback 294 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 2: battle went. I was actually shocked that he won it. 295 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 2: They do have some speed at receiver. I like some 296 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 2: of the the guys they brought in on the back 297 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 2: end of the defense. But by the way, there's a 298 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 2: UCF transfer that's starting at corner for Jacksonville State. All 299 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 2: these teams, it's just it's crazy. But Fancer and Finch, 300 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 2: that combination, I mean Fancer and Grinch. Excuse me, Alex Grinch, 301 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 2: the defensive coordinator. Not a fan. There so many moving 302 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 2: parts here. This is to me. Let's see what I 303 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 2: make this. I made it sixteen point eight my gut, 304 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 2: says UCF Roles. Am I betting this game? Absolutely not. 305 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 2: I want no part of this game. There's nothing here 306 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 2: for me. I will be watching. There's a ton of 307 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 2: moving pieces. I'm going to see how both looks. I'm 308 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 2: want to see the tempo of each how pass heavy 309 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 2: Jacksonville State is, and obviously all of the portal movement. 310 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 2: But yeah, two teams I want to sell playing each 311 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 2: other week one, No thanks. 312 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, I took Jacksonville State plus seventeen like a month 313 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 3: and a half ago, because I made this game fourteen 314 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 3: and I figured this team would go the other way, 315 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 3: because Scott Frost continues to come out and say, that's 316 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 3: a brand new offense, a brand new defense. We don't 317 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 3: have an identity, we don't know who's playing here, we 318 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 3: don't know who's playing there. And oh, by the way, 319 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 3: we're not going to practice out in the in the heat. 320 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 3: We're going to be indoors for most of our practices. 321 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 3: So I don't see Charles Kelly and I'm not even 322 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 3: sure if Jacksonville State even has an indoor facility, but 323 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 3: I don't see Charles Kelly letting up on his team 324 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 3: and not practicing out in the heat. So, for various reasons, 325 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 3: the seventeen was out there and I took it. Now 326 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 3: a service releases got it up to eighteen and a half. 327 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 3: So if you want to live trade this game, you 328 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 3: can try, because that's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna 329 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 3: try to live trade out of that seventeen at some point. 330 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 3: And I think, you know, Charles Kelly is trying to 331 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 3: give an indication about what this offense is going to be. 332 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 3: His quote is you throw to score and you run 333 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 3: to win. By that definition, you would expect the game 334 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 3: Cocks to be throwing all the time out of the 335 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 3: gate with their quarterback with Gavin wims At. But I 336 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 3: mean his best year was twenty twenty three at Ruckers 337 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 3: seventeen hundred yards nine to eight TD to I in 338 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,159 Speaker 3: t ratio that earned him a Kentucky transfer, where it 339 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 3: just didn't go well through thirty nine passing attempts. If 340 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 3: Petway's not there, then if you're throwing to score, who 341 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,160 Speaker 3: are you throwing to. I mean, he was two point 342 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 3: one yards per route run. That would be a big boost. 343 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 3: That probably is the reason the total is trickled down 344 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 3: a little bit, and you have to wonder what would 345 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 3: this total have been last year if the two teams 346 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 3: would have been played, if rich Rob was still the coach, 347 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 3: it would have been sixty two. So is the tempo 348 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 3: of this game at worth a ten point drop? Is 349 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:44,120 Speaker 3: it justified? So I'm going to stay away from the total. 350 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 3: I'm gonna try to a live trade out of Jacksonville 351 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 3: State plus seventeen. But You're right, there's a lot of 352 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 3: questions here. I'm wanting to see how first off Grinch 353 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 3: was a defensive coordinator I could never get into in 354 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 3: the first place. How conditioned are these guys stuck? Did 355 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 3: Frost really prepare them for the beginning of the season, 356 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 3: And does Grinch have I mean, if you and v 357 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 3: miss seventeen tackles in their opener, how many misstackles are 358 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 3: going to be on this UC of defense? Those are 359 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 3: the things I'm looking for here. 360 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I really have I have no clue in this 361 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 2: game to be hoble. To be quite honest with you, 362 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 2: I don't really don't trust my number all that much. 363 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 2: With just both teams so much turnover and new staffs 364 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 2: and all across the board, there's just this is your 365 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 2: one of your biggest uncertainty games of the weekend. All right, 366 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 2: let's move on to eight pm Eastern on FS one. 367 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 2: We'll start to get into some big ten. Let's start 368 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 2: off with Minnesota hosting Buffalo. You know what Trailblazers do. 369 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 2: They plays trails for other people to be coverly this line. 370 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 2: There's been some movement here. Minnesota is sitting at seventeen 371 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 2: and a half point favorites. Here, they were up at 372 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 2: eighteen and a half, they went down below seventeen. Another 373 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 2: service release here. Knock this up, come back down a 374 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 2: little bit. Both two new quarterbacks in this game. Minnesota 375 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,360 Speaker 2: lost a lot on offense. They lost Max Brosmer, who's 376 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 2: looked fantastic in preseason. I loved him last year. Very 377 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 2: complex offense, pro style offensive Minnesota run. Took him a 378 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 2: little bit to to kind of get it, and then 379 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 2: once he did last year he was great. It wasn't 380 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,679 Speaker 2: your typical Fleck offense. They threw a lot more than usual. 381 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 2: But you lose Brosmer, you lose eighty percent of your 382 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 2: receiving production. You basically lose five of its a lineman, yes, 383 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 2: two or back, but they're moving positions. So the one 384 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 2: thing you know, you bring in a couple of chances 385 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 2: of receiver. The one thing that you know that you 386 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 2: have on this team is the running back room. I 387 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 2: assume that's what Minnesota is gonna lean on here. You know, 388 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 2: heavy zone running team like this that they're gonna I 389 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 2: think they're just gonna this is like old Fleck offense, 390 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 2: slow methodical. We are bigger up front, so there's questions 391 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,479 Speaker 2: of the offensive line, but they do have a lot 392 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 2: of size. They will be able to muscle Buffalo. So 393 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 2: I think they're gonna say, like, look, we're gonna line 394 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 2: it up, we're gonna run it, we're gonna milk the clock, 395 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 2: and then we're just gonna overpower this Mac team at home. 396 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,360 Speaker 2: So I think that's probably the game plan for Minnesota, 397 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 2: and then let's ease Lindsey, their new quarterback, the freshman 398 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 2: quarterback into it. On the defensive side of Minnesota, you 399 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 2: lose two defensive ends to the NFL, you lose a 400 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 2: linebacker to the NFL, and then a trio of corners 401 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 2: including Wally and Robinson were really good. So that's kind 402 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 2: of the question there. Can Buffalo take advantage or take 403 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 2: on Twick, take one robson the former? What was yeah, 404 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 2: Penn State, Yukon and Kansas State, that's the question there. 405 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 2: New quarterback, got a good running back, Snow's back at receiver. 406 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 2: I do still have some questions on the offensive line. 407 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 2: I think the Buffalo defense is feisty. You know, you 408 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 2: do lose Dolak, who led the nation in tackling last year, 409 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 2: but they still have some guys they're us. They did 410 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,919 Speaker 2: two really good defensive ends. They're moving one to linebacker 411 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 2: next to Red Murdoch, who was second in the country 412 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 2: and tackles little undersize the defensive tackle and they're going 413 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 2: to be without Susa there for Game one, but I 414 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 2: think that their defense can hold up well enough here. 415 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,479 Speaker 2: So I don't know my first look here. This has 416 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 2: come down slightly, and forty five is semi important. So 417 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 2: I's come down from forty five and a half to 418 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,439 Speaker 2: forty four and a half. I think this is a 419 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 2: grinder if you look back some of the games that 420 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 2: Fleck has played against Mac teams since arriving in Minnesota 421 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 2: seventeen to seven versus Buffalo, twenty five to six for CMU, 422 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 2: thirty one, twenty six versus Miami Ohio. That one was 423 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 2: a little higher scoring. But I think this plays out 424 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 2: maybe closer to those first two that I mentioned. So 425 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,679 Speaker 2: I'm looking under here, Lean Buffalo. I'm just worried that 426 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 2: Minnesota can just run it down the throat. And I 427 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 2: don't know what Roverson is going to give this Buffalo offense. 428 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 2: What are you seeing here? 429 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 3: Exactly the same? I lean, Buffalo want them. I'm ready 430 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 3: to fire on them, but I'm hesitant, and I like 431 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 3: the under here too. But the problem is is, you 432 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 3: know Buffalo has one of the best punt returns and 433 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 3: all of the MAC and Victor Snow you mentioned him 434 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 3: at wide receiver, and I mean, I feel like a 435 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 3: special team's play, like a punt return touchdown, could be 436 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 3: the one that breaks that total. And then you look 437 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 3: at Buffalo's offensive line and running back group, probably the 438 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 3: best in the MAC. And then when you go to 439 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 3: the other side of the ball, the Minnesota offensive line, 440 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,959 Speaker 3: as you know, twenty four career starts and they got 441 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 3: another fifty five through the portal. I think we talked 442 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 3: about this on the preseason podcast for the Big Ten, 443 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 3: these players that are filling the offensive line are not 444 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 3: good at all. I mean true freshman left tackle Nathan 445 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 3: roy Goat Dylan Ray, right tackle, who came in from Kentucky, 446 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,479 Speaker 3: was graded the five hundred and twenty fifth best guard. 447 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,199 Speaker 3: Marcellus Marshall was the one hundred and sixtyth best guard 448 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 3: blocking grading per PFF. I do like I said, I 449 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 3: think the under is the play. I worry a little 450 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 3: bit about a special team's play coming out from the 451 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 3: Buffalo side with Victor Snow, but I do lean Buffalo. 452 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 3: I think they can hang. Not sure I'm going to 453 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 3: jump on it though. 454 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, Buffalo's Pete Lumbo's known for special teams, but and 455 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 2: you mentioned snow, but the rest of their specialtias are 456 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 2: actually a major question mark, So that could they I'm 457 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 2: curiously out they're kicking and punning early on lean Buffalo. 458 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 2: I'm probably gonna be the under. We'll definitely be looking 459 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 2: to bet that game live as well. Let's move on 460 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 2: to nine pm Eastern on ESPN. Talk a little Nebraska Cincinnati. 461 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 3: Nobody's done what we've done, nobody's built like us. Take 462 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 3: all that nervous and send it out of this room 463 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 3: right now, play because we love the win and we're winners. 464 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 2: Cincinnati. There's a flat seven out there, seven ten is 465 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,439 Speaker 2: out there, total fifty four and a half. This is 466 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 2: the You look at this roster, it's a young Nebraska roster. 467 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 2: Your three for Matt rules. Usually the leap we're gonna 468 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 2: absolutely murder you. Maybe the real leap is next year 469 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 2: because like seventy two percent of this rosters is underclassmen, 470 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 2: so they're building the biggest question this year there's it's 471 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 2: twofold one. Does Rayola take that leap at quarterback? Very 472 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 2: inconsistent even down the stretch last year wasn't great and 473 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 2: Dana Holgerson now the full time OC after taking over 474 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 2: last year. What's that impact? But I like their offensive line. 475 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 2: They had a ton of guys that were injured last year, 476 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 2: so they have just a bunch of options and a 477 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 2: lot of experience there. The defense is what I'm worried 478 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 2: about with Nebraska. You lose your defensive coordinator, you lose 479 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,880 Speaker 2: four to the NFL four to power for they need, 480 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 2: they need some of their young guys, some of the 481 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 2: transfers to hit, especially in the front seven, and you 482 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 2: even have like an Idoh transfer that's probably going to 483 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 2: start at cornerback. That defense is the question for me. 484 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 2: On the other side of the ball, excuse me, on 485 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 2: the other side of the field. Cincinnati, they also bring 486 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 2: back returning quarterback Brendan Soarsby, but they do lose Corey 487 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 2: Kriner in the backfield. Still think they're okay there, but 488 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 2: they lose their top five receivers for offensive linemen. That's 489 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 2: my biggest concern on this offense now. Sowersby pretty inconsistent, 490 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 2: not great throwing down field, and that was that Nebraska 491 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 2: trouble with explosives last year. I think he had like 492 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 2: a twenty eight percent adjusted completion percentage on twenty plus 493 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 2: are ar throws. Towarsby was not good throwing the ball deep. 494 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 2: Look out for this kid Caledwell wide receiver from linden Wood. 495 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 2: He's getting a lot of hype. But the offensive line 496 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 2: for Cincy has been the one thing that could rely 497 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 2: on over the past couple of years. That's not the 498 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 2: case this year. That's my biggest concern for them. But 499 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 2: can the Nebraska and the Nebraska defensive line is a 500 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 2: question for me, So how does that matchup play out 501 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 2: is definitely something worth watching. I do think since He's 502 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 2: defense should be better up front because you get Hunt 503 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 2: and Coleman back from injury. Both of those guys they 504 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,199 Speaker 2: lost them last year and they really felt it. And 505 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 2: then Corleone the Godfather, he's back in the middle. Linebackers 506 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 2: are still good even though they lost their best one. 507 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 2: Defensive bats transfer heavy. I like the kid McDoom, but 508 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,679 Speaker 2: there's still some question marks on the back end. My 509 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 2: first thought here was over I just have questions about 510 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 2: the Nebraska defense. These are two special teams that were 511 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 2: awful last year that are expected to be improved. New 512 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 2: coach for both, which one is actually improved that could 513 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 2: end up deciding this game. And then these are two 514 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 2: teams that over the last couple years you never trust 515 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 2: in close games. Like said Nebraska, everyone knows their track 516 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 2: record in close games. It is the worst team in 517 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,679 Speaker 2: all of college football over the past ten years. But 518 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 2: since he's known under sat a field, it's not like 519 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 2: they've been great in close games and they'll get a 520 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 2: lead and they'll blow it. I would trust the rule 521 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 2: and the staff much more in the second half if 522 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,639 Speaker 2: they're trailing, like making halftime adjustment. So that's something I 523 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 2: might be looking for. Lean over here. This is in 524 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 2: Kansas City, by the way, so technically in neutral, so 525 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 2: I'm right on market for this game. Lean over a 526 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 2: little bit. 527 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,439 Speaker 3: I project this three on a neutral, which I'm not 528 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 3: really sure how neutral Arrowhead is going to be. I 529 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 3: think every Nebraska fan in the world will be there. 530 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 3: I wanted to fire on seven, and I'm just holding back. 531 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 3: And the reason is because I can't back a team 532 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 3: with questions a quarterback and offensive line and Soresby like 533 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 3: can he produce more big time throws and turnover worthy plays? 534 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 3: Because last year that ratio was nine to thirteen. He's losing, 535 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 3: you know, all of his targets. This best returning target 536 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 3: is his tight Endjoe Royer, who is one of the 537 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 3: best in the Big twelve. But half of that, I mean, 538 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 3: you have so many offensive line positions that are brand new, 539 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 3: and you look at the pressure numbers that source we 540 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 3: had last year at one hundred and twelve drop backs 541 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 3: with pressure, four percent turnover worthy play rate. I mean, 542 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 3: it's not horrible, but he only made one big time 543 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 3: throw when he had a crowded pocket. And there's just 544 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 3: is no faith in what Cincinnati can do on the 545 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:17,360 Speaker 3: offensive side here. 546 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 2: And it's always the line is really good. Last year 547 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 2: like that they had some dudes and now it's a 548 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:21,880 Speaker 2: major question mark. 549 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, but then again you go to the other side 550 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,640 Speaker 3: of the balls, like can Holgerson solve that explosive piece 551 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 3: that was needed so badly? Dane Key is a big 552 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,879 Speaker 3: piece from Kentucky. I mean two point five yards per 553 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 3: route run from the outside last year for a Wildcats 554 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 3: offense that was kind of anemic the offensive line, I think, 555 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 3: and completely neutralized the Godfather. That's saying something with Corleone 556 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 3: because but Justin Evans Junior at center and then he 557 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 3: is surrounded by three seniors on the line, Like, I 558 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 3: just think that's going to be able to neutralize. But 559 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 3: what is the best part of the Cincinnati defense, which 560 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,919 Speaker 3: is that interior? So kind of a rock fight, and 561 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,679 Speaker 3: maybe that's what gets that number home. But I just 562 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:03,159 Speaker 3: cannot back Cincinnati with this offensive line at a quarterback 563 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 3: that absolutely cannot do anything with pressure, and he hasn't frankly, 564 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,880 Speaker 3: isn't very good. You know, he is an above replacement 565 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 3: level player when it comes to a clean pocket. So, Eileen, Cincinnati, 566 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 3: it's Week one and I'm not investing my money in 567 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,120 Speaker 3: brand new offensive lines at all. 568 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,400 Speaker 2: All right, let's close out the big ten here. Miami 569 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 2: Ohio goes to Wisconsin. Wisconsin seventeen seventeen and a half 570 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 2: point favorite, depending on where you look. Make sure you 571 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 2: always shop around those half points matter. Wisconsin hired Jeff Grimes, 572 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 2: got rid of Phil Longo. I think that's going to 573 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 2: be a huge upgrade. It's a much better fit. The reliable, 574 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 2: violent offense, the RPO offense. They bringing Billy Edwards from 575 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 2: Maryland at quarterback. They're due to have a quarterback stay healthy. 576 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 2: They do have to replace their right guard and left 577 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:57,239 Speaker 2: tackle both were lost to the NFL. Looks like it's 578 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 2: going to be a freshman and then a mac transfer 579 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 2: at tackle, so that's certainly a question. But I think 580 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 2: the offense, just coordinator wise, is going to be better. 581 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 2: I think the defense is going to be better, mainly 582 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 2: because they addressed their biggest need from last year. Beginning 583 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 2: of the year, there was injuries and they just didn't 584 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 2: have enough size up front. I mean, this is a 585 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 2: team the fewest amount of sacks in decades. They were 586 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 2: bottom ten in havoc and tackles for loss. There was 587 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 2: just nothing up front. They couldn't get any help. I 588 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 2: think the defense is going to be much better under 589 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 2: Fickle on that side because of the portal additions up front. 590 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 2: I really liked what they did there. One of the 591 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 2: reasons I bet Wisconsin's win total over Miami is a mess, 592 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 2: and I think they're going to be a mess to 593 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 2: start the year bottom ten returning production. They lost everyone 594 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 2: on offense. They bring in to Kwan Finn, who used 595 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 2: to play for Toledo and then he went down to Baylor. 596 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 2: Now he's back in my VI. His mobility will help 597 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 2: because this offensive line is super young, super inexperienced. They 598 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 2: lost all five starters. I mean this is an offensive 599 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 2: lost fifteen hundred rush yards, twenty three hundred receeding yards, 600 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 2: the top thirteen in snap counts. I mean they're at 601 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 2: six either to the NFL or Power four. So I 602 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 2: don't know this offense is It's gonna take some time 603 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 2: and knows that now. So if you follow along the app, 604 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 2: you know I already know that I've I know that 605 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 2: you played Wisconsin. I played Wisconsin. I also played first half. 606 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 2: Am I scared? Yes? I mean the totals thirty nine 607 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 2: and a half? Do I love laying seventeen with a 608 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 2: total thirty nine half against the Miami team that look 609 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 2: their defense. They lost their top two pass rushers, they're 610 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 2: two All MAC linebackers who were huge secondary and their 611 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 2: top corner to Auburn safeties are still solid. Cornerback's still 612 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 2: a major question for me end up front as well. 613 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 2: I think Wisco's gonna be able to dominate the line 614 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 2: of scrimmage on both sides, which is a difference here. 615 00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 2: But Miami's going to like take away explosives. They're not 616 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 2: that They're going to try to knock him a big 617 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 2: place and then they have really good special teams. Even 618 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 2: with a new special teams coach, they still should be 619 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 2: really good there. And if you look under Chuck Martin 620 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 2: over the past four to five years, these these games 621 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 2: against these Power four teams, they find ways to just 622 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 2: ugly it up. I mean, go back to that the 623 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 2: Notre Dame game last year. I mean it was what 624 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:22,959 Speaker 2: was that twenty eight to three? That game was disgusting. 625 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,239 Speaker 2: So am I a little bit scared? Yes, But I 626 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 2: just think Mina Ohio is it's funny they lost a 627 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 2: six year starting quarterback and they're going to uh the 628 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 2: Kwan finners now in his seventh year. But fickle knows 629 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 2: how important this year is. I think they want to 630 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 2: get off to a bang. They know all tough the schedules. Yeah, 631 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 2: I guess the other thing I should mention The other 632 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 2: think that scares me and why I played some first 633 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 2: half too, is I'm not sure how Wisconsin wants to 634 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 2: approach this. I mean you look, by the way I 635 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 2: mentioned my Ohio last year at Northwestern was they lost 636 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 2: thirteen to six Notre Dame. It was twenty eight three. 637 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 2: Cincinnati was twenty seven to sixteen. Like they know how 638 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 2: to ugly up these games, which does scare me. The 639 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,479 Speaker 2: other thing and it scares me with Wisconsin is they 640 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 2: have one of the hardest schedules in the country. Now 641 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 2: they don't have a tough game. Next week they host 642 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 2: Middle Tennessee, but after that it's at Alabama and then 643 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 2: Big Ten and it's brutal throughout. Just fickle say, like, 644 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 2: we know how tough this slate is. I want to 645 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 2: get you guys rest and make sure I don't have injuries, 646 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 2: and then they don't really push it in a game 647 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 2: with a total of thirty nine. Too many questions on 648 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 2: this Miami team. I think they're going to struggle early. 649 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 2: They might figure it out by the time Mac play 650 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 2: rulls around. But I'm not a huge fan of finn 651 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 2: I think we'll probably make a couple of mistakes though, 652 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 2: So I'm on Wisconsin. I split some on the first 653 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 2: half as well. 654 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, Wisconsin minus seventeen for me, it's still out there. 655 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 3: It's getting juiced now. Cute little move to sixteen and 656 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 3: a half where it got scooped up and now it's 657 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 3: being juiced. I wouldn't be surprised to see this number run. 658 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 3: I actually make this like Wisconsin in the high twenties. 659 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 3: You're talking about games getting ugled up with Miami Ohio. 660 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 3: We have the king of ugly it up at the 661 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 3: offensive coordinator job now for Wisconsin with Jeff Grimes. He 662 00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 3: wants to line up and punch you in the face 663 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 3: on the ground. That is a really bad scenario for 664 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 3: this Miami of Ohio defense, who's expected to have one 665 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 3: of the best, one of the best back sevens in 666 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 3: the MAAC. From like a pass defense perspective, but from 667 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,600 Speaker 3: a run defensive perspective, it is not good whatsoever. But 668 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 3: this offensive line for Wisconsin should absolutely mash Miami of 669 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,000 Speaker 3: Ohio all day. And that's going to be the play 670 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 3: calling from Jeff Grime. So this fickle take his foot 671 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 3: off the pedal. I don't know at this point. We 672 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 3: need bonus points after last year. 673 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 2: And I get into a bowl in in front of 674 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 2: your home crowd that I don't know how many wins 675 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:29,480 Speaker 2: you're gonna get this year. 676 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 3: This is you and I both know the coaches know 677 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 3: what spreads are. I know the fickle knows what the 678 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 3: spread is. So you need bonus points with your alumni 679 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 3: and your fan base that could be in the back 680 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 3: of his mind too. Now you see the market just 681 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 3: getting pounded with Wisconson money. 682 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 2: As I think it should be one other quick game 683 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 2: Wyoming at Akron zips Akron seven point dogs, another game. 684 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 2: A lot of uncertainty here. I would assume Mioming's offense 685 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 2: should look more confident with Anderson at quarterback all year. 686 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 2: Took over late last year, although he did look good, 687 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 2: but really only against really bad defenses. 688 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 3: Only against New Mexico. 689 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, but the defense total reset any youth and some 690 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,400 Speaker 2: FCS guys to step up acro Inside, you have Finley 691 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,719 Speaker 2: back at quarterback, which is big, but the rest of 692 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 2: the rosters a complete reset, a lot of lower level guys, 693 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 2: just like a lot of these MAC teams. And I 694 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 2: think Wyoming is a program on the decline. I don't know, 695 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 2: a lot of uncertainty in this game. Acron also has 696 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 2: the postseason ban. Where are they at mentally physically? I 697 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 2: don't know. This game is difficult for me to handicap, 698 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:37,280 Speaker 2: but I do think good round robin piece. I projected 699 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 2: six and a half six six and a half in 700 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 2: between there I'll probably have Acron. I'm gonna do a 701 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 2: round robin with games on Thursday. Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. 702 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 2: I'll probably throw Acron in there to start things off 703 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:53,879 Speaker 2: on Thursday, high variance game probably come down to dumb shit, 704 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 2: to be honest, no strong take, but Acron money line. 705 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,799 Speaker 2: I'll find a way to something here in this this 706 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:01,920 Speaker 2: high variance fest. 707 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, I lean Akron here. I don't know, but I 708 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,360 Speaker 3: make it eight. I don't know why I'm hesitating at 709 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 3: Really seven should be good enough here. I don't know 710 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:09,879 Speaker 3: if it's the Wyoming can get the ball to score, 711 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 3: that's kind of a joke. I don't know if they 712 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 3: can against anybody. But Ben Finley could be one of 713 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,279 Speaker 3: the best quarterbacks in the MAC. His last four games 714 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 3: of conference last year Buffalo, NIU, Kent State, and Toledo, 715 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 3: which some of those are pretty good teams in the MAC, 716 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 3: he had ten big time throws and five turnover worthy plays. 717 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,239 Speaker 3: Ben Finley really came into his own at the end 718 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 3: of last year. I like Akron here. The motivation thing 719 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 3: is interesting for me with this team because of the 720 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 3: postseason implications. Do you take these games more seriously because 721 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,319 Speaker 3: every game is your bowl game? We'll see I want 722 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 3: to get it on Akron too. I do like Ben Finley. 723 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 3: It's a play on Akron if they are continually hounded 724 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 3: in the market. It's a play on team for me 725 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 3: because I do think they have some offensive consistency and 726 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 3: quality that we can look forward to elsewhere. 727 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 2: Just in Missouri Oklahoma state PLAYOFCS teams. I will have 728 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 2: my eye on them just for the quarterback battles. And 729 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:58,279 Speaker 2: then we also have San Diego State, your favorite team. Yeah, 730 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:02,759 Speaker 2: they are taking on Stony Brook. It's time for the 731 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 2: first San Diego State total. We're going nowhere fast. 732 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,319 Speaker 1: You are about to enter a world unlike any you've 733 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 1: ever seen before, where the beautiful, the brutal, and the 734 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 1: brave all meat. 735 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 2: San Diego State's out to eighteen and a half. In 736 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,320 Speaker 2: my favorite I do think they wax whax. Stony Brooks 737 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 2: is a ten pm Eastern on Mountain West Network total 738 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:42,960 Speaker 2: sitting at fifty three and a half. You have ten 739 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:43,880 Speaker 2: seconds on this game. 740 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we're going over fifty three and a half. 741 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 3: Stonybrook moderately moderate tempo, more better than average. Last year, 742 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,360 Speaker 3: their offense increased from three hundred and four three hundred 743 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 3: and fourteen yards per game before hundred and three yards 744 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,880 Speaker 3: per game and they're moving at a faster tempo. We 745 00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,000 Speaker 3: know what Aztec fast is and Sean Lewis, let's go 746 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:00,600 Speaker 3: over fifty three and a half to get this strain. 747 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:02,440 Speaker 3: I think, what would we go ten and two? I 748 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,879 Speaker 3: go ten and two on nowhere fast. Last year, let's 749 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:05,799 Speaker 3: go San Diego State. 750 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,759 Speaker 2: All right, there's your first one of the year. Yeah, 751 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,879 Speaker 2: you did totally redeem yourself last year. All right, let's 752 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:13,879 Speaker 2: move on to Friday night. 753 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 3: Let's hear gentlemen, clear eyes, full hearts. 754 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:19,120 Speaker 4: Let's go play some football. 755 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 2: I don't have as hot it takes on Friday, so 756 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 2: we'll go fairly quick. Oh, a little quicker on these 757 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 2: games Western Michigan at Michigan State. That Michigan State has 758 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,480 Speaker 2: taken some money in this game Western Michigan. It looks 759 00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:37,440 Speaker 2: like they're gonna play both quarterbacks Brock Lowry and Brady 760 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:42,239 Speaker 2: Jones a JUCO transfer. Not sure how that's gonna go. 761 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 2: I was hoping that Brady Jones won it. But it's 762 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 2: been a just neck and neck for the entire camp. 763 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,960 Speaker 2: Michigan State's taking money, and then there was a little 764 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:56,200 Speaker 2: bit of buyback here. Year two. Jonathan Smith Aidan Chiles, 765 00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 2: can he take the leap offensive line still a major 766 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 2: question there. Does that hold them back? They also lost, 767 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,439 Speaker 2: you know, two running backs to the NFL. They lost 768 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 2: some other receivers besides Marsh They've had some injuries a 769 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 2: wide receiver and tight end in camp. So yeah, there's 770 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,000 Speaker 2: definitely some questions here with Michigan State. Even though one 771 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 2: of their senior safeties might miss this game, they had 772 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:20,799 Speaker 2: so many injuries down the second or you would think 773 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,799 Speaker 2: they would be better. Special teams also could be a 774 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,359 Speaker 2: disaster for Michigan State. So like you're needing the cover, 775 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:31,319 Speaker 2: like I think due to injuries. Their kicker could be 776 00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,479 Speaker 2: this D two guy who didn't kick in three years 777 00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:34,960 Speaker 2: when he was on a D two school, Like he 778 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,920 Speaker 2: didn't make he didn't attempt one field goal because they've 779 00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 2: had some injuries at kicker. 780 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:38,799 Speaker 4: I don't know. 781 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 2: That's that's definitely worth noting. I trust Smith. I think 782 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,320 Speaker 2: they'll have them ready here. I'm not. I mean, look, 783 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,600 Speaker 2: miss Western Michigan is a mess. I mean they went 784 00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 2: they were top fifteen in experience last year, they're outside 785 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,279 Speaker 2: the top hundred. Now they're one hundred and twenty eighth. 786 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,799 Speaker 2: Returning production new DC scheme change, their offensives at their 787 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,320 Speaker 2: quarterback running back. I don't know. A tough game for me. 788 00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:00,400 Speaker 2: I probably won't have anything here. I project us to 789 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,440 Speaker 2: twenty two and a half. So my numbers say Michigan 790 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:09,040 Speaker 2: State under three touchdowns is worth a look, but probably 791 00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,759 Speaker 2: not enough to get involved with all the uncertainty here. Yeah, 792 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:12,480 Speaker 2: I mean, I made. 793 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:13,960 Speaker 3: This seventeen and a half, so when I saw the steam, 794 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,200 Speaker 3: it's like I understand the steam. But there are things 795 00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,840 Speaker 3: of this game that I need to write down on 796 00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:20,640 Speaker 3: a notepad and then you and I go review it 797 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,040 Speaker 3: on Sunday, which is Aiden Child is entering his third season. 798 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:24,879 Speaker 3: He had one hundred and forty three pressures and three 799 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,879 Speaker 3: hundred and seventy four dropbacks last season. This kid has 800 00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,520 Speaker 3: not lived in the world of college football without pressure 801 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 3: in his face, no matter where he has been. I 802 00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:33,120 Speaker 3: still don't know. 803 00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 2: And they've lost their top two offensive lineman somehow. 804 00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,680 Speaker 3: Right right, I don't know what Aiden Child's ceiling can be. 805 00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 3: And he's entering his third season because the kid has 806 00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,759 Speaker 3: never had a clean pocket whatsoever. So I'm looking to 807 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,880 Speaker 3: see against this new Western Michigan everything. Are they going 808 00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,840 Speaker 3: to be able to keep a clean pocket that is 809 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,120 Speaker 3: going to be check mark number two. Check mark number one. 810 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,080 Speaker 3: Check Mark number two is going to be the running 811 00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,319 Speaker 3: back position, which is Elijah Taboo Tolliver, who comes in 812 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,840 Speaker 3: from Sacramento State. When you get Sacramento State transfers, you 813 00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,680 Speaker 3: need to pay attention. Although his career number is over 814 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,120 Speaker 3: with the Hornets two point eight yards after first contact. 815 00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:08,880 Speaker 3: That's not Scataboo type. But Nick marsh is good at 816 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:10,520 Speaker 3: white out two point one yards per out run for 817 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,520 Speaker 3: the Spartans last season. That is the connection the childs 818 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,960 Speaker 3: will need. But keep your eyes on Tyle Tolliver at 819 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:19,839 Speaker 3: running back. If he flashes, then maybe maybe we got 820 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:21,839 Speaker 3: something cooking air in Michigan State. But really, I want 821 00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:23,319 Speaker 3: to look at the box score and see how many 822 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,879 Speaker 3: pressures this offensive line has to protect Chiles or it's 823 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:27,880 Speaker 3: a season of more of the same. 824 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, if you can't block West, this Western Michigan team, 825 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:35,960 Speaker 2: then it could be trouble, right, Kennisaal Wake This is 826 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:42,560 Speaker 2: similar to Jack State UCF. Yeah, same exact vibes here, 827 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 2: two teams, new staffs, roster reset Wake Forest is seventeen 828 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:51,160 Speaker 2: and a half point favorite. Like spread is even in 829 00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,560 Speaker 2: the same range. Total has down to fifty one and 830 00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,440 Speaker 2: a half kanessauw State new coach Jerry Mack, who's recently 831 00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 2: with the Jags new offensive coordinator is a hypo guy. 832 00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,680 Speaker 2: See some beer and shoot here. New defensive coordinator came 833 00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,680 Speaker 2: from like the euro League. They brought in a ton 834 00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,320 Speaker 2: of like fourteen offensive linemen. 835 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:10,319 Speaker 3: Sounds like you're in a league. 836 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,879 Speaker 2: No EuroLeague, eurin a league. They brought in a ton 837 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,960 Speaker 2: of offensive linemen. They got bigger on paper in the trenches. 838 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,080 Speaker 2: They got some dudes on the back end of their defense, 839 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,080 Speaker 2: but a lot of uncertainty or Dexter Williams, who's been 840 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:27,000 Speaker 2: all over the place, will be the quarterback. I'm not 841 00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,600 Speaker 2: sure how this is gonna work, but maybe their defense 842 00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:34,479 Speaker 2: could be feisty. Not sure how good the defensive line 843 00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,319 Speaker 2: is going to be, which could be a problem here 844 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,919 Speaker 2: in this particular matchup, because you're going up against Wake 845 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,320 Speaker 2: Forrest to new head coach Jake Dicker takes over for 846 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,239 Speaker 2: Dave Clawson. When that happened, they lost seven starters to 847 00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,279 Speaker 2: the Portal. They lost all five their offensive lineman four 848 00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:52,680 Speaker 2: to Power four. Although that speaks to like how maybe 849 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,839 Speaker 2: bad the Portal was this year. I mean, for those 850 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,160 Speaker 2: Wake Forest offensive line went to Power four. They weren't great, 851 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,439 Speaker 2: but they lost their top four receivers three to Power 852 00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 2: for their quarterback, their top tight end. You're gonna see 853 00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,399 Speaker 2: a different offense. It's not the slow mesh. It's gonna 854 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:11,919 Speaker 2: be more outside zone runs, more twelve personnel, and it's 855 00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:18,360 Speaker 2: gonna be Robbie Ashford at quarterback so can and more importantly, 856 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:21,600 Speaker 2: it's gonna be a lot of Claiborne. Who's their best player. 857 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:26,600 Speaker 2: You're gonna see him a lot. The D for wake Forest, 858 00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,920 Speaker 2: their offense is a total reset. Besides Claiborne, pretty much 859 00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:31,520 Speaker 2: that D has a little more experience, but there's still 860 00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:33,799 Speaker 2: transfers all over. I love Patterson at the nickel, but 861 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,600 Speaker 2: other than that, a lot of questions. The offense has 862 00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,120 Speaker 2: a couple of wazoo guys that came with Jaggered on 863 00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:40,759 Speaker 2: the offensive line. But this is gonna be a lot 864 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 2: of Claiborne, a lot of Ashford running. Yep, they might 865 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:48,600 Speaker 2: have might be able to have success doing that against Kennesaw. Yeah, 866 00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:50,719 Speaker 2: let me see. I project I want no part of 867 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,320 Speaker 2: this game, but I project this at seventeen to six. 868 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:58,480 Speaker 2: So I'm right on market and I'm at fifty and 869 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:00,600 Speaker 2: a half, So nothing for me, or what do you 870 00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:01,040 Speaker 2: say I. 871 00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,319 Speaker 3: Make the total forty. I want the first half under 872 00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:04,840 Speaker 3: in this game, just for all the new pieces that 873 00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:06,760 Speaker 3: are going on. I mean that quarterback battle of Kennesaw 874 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,120 Speaker 3: between Dexter Williams and Mario Otum, I expect to see 875 00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,040 Speaker 3: them both running the pistol, and I don't think they're 876 00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:14,400 Speaker 3: going to run it effectively whatsoever. Dickard has seen plenty 877 00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:17,360 Speaker 3: of that in his time. He was actually remember the 878 00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,920 Speaker 3: Washington State DC, although the Washington State defense seemed to 879 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:22,279 Speaker 3: be the one that was the problem all the years. 880 00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:23,640 Speaker 3: I don't know how dicker got kind of got a 881 00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,359 Speaker 3: raise going to Wake Forest as the head coach. Yeah, 882 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:27,640 Speaker 3: you're right, it's going to be a lot of Robbie 883 00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,440 Speaker 3: Ashford running around. So the thing that I kind of 884 00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:31,879 Speaker 3: hang my hat on with this game is the fact 885 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:35,480 Speaker 3: that Kennesaw State, the one redeeming metric they had last 886 00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,840 Speaker 3: year is that they finished forty second and pfif tackle 887 00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:39,960 Speaker 3: Like everything else was a complete dumpster fire. But they 888 00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,520 Speaker 3: can tackle in space, and that's exactly what you're going 889 00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,600 Speaker 3: to get with what this new Wake offense is going 890 00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:50,080 Speaker 3: to be. I expect very slow tempos. I don't expect 891 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:53,120 Speaker 3: a lot of offensive efficiency here. I'm going to play 892 00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:54,520 Speaker 3: first half under Actually I think I'm going to do 893 00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:54,759 Speaker 3: it now. 894 00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:59,319 Speaker 2: Right, let's go on to Charlotte. App State Sadly, no 895 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,560 Speaker 2: more Biff for Charlotte, and our job is I told 896 00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,799 Speaker 2: the players yesterday my job, my number one job, is 897 00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,399 Speaker 2: to love them. We will miss him, but they did 898 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:11,319 Speaker 2: bring in Tim Alvin we like, and he's showed that 899 00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,759 Speaker 2: he can turn around a program and he can do 900 00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:15,719 Speaker 2: a lot with lower level guys, and he's gonna need 901 00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:19,640 Speaker 2: some lower level guys to step up for Charlotte. This 902 00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:20,880 Speaker 2: game will be played by the way in Bank of 903 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:25,040 Speaker 2: America Stadium, six and a half. Pretty much across the 904 00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,080 Speaker 2: board PAP State minus six and a half total fifty 905 00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,760 Speaker 2: and a half. Two new head coaches here, Dal Loggins, 906 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,120 Speaker 2: who were not fans of He's the fourth head coach 907 00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:36,719 Speaker 2: in seven years at app State. He'll call plays. I 908 00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:38,640 Speaker 2: think this is a program on the decline. It's pretty 909 00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:42,680 Speaker 2: sad because I think college football is better when Boone 910 00:44:43,239 --> 00:45:03,600 Speaker 2: is on fire and this team is good. They lost 911 00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:06,480 Speaker 2: a lot, like they lost our quarterback to UCLA and Tennessee. 912 00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:08,960 Speaker 2: They lost their top running back, the top three receivers 913 00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:13,160 Speaker 2: for offensive lineman. It's a complete reset on the offense, 914 00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,200 Speaker 2: and look, I think aj Swan is going to be 915 00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:18,840 Speaker 2: the guy. Former Vandy guy JJ Coles also in the 916 00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:22,399 Speaker 2: mix to transferred from Iowa State. Their defense has been 917 00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,239 Speaker 2: on the decline for the past couple of years. Last 918 00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,080 Speaker 2: year the run dye was bad. Their past he's been 919 00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:28,960 Speaker 2: bad the last couple of years. Used to be reliable. 920 00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:30,880 Speaker 2: They need some transfers hit on the defensive side of 921 00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:33,480 Speaker 2: the ball. Same thing with Charlotte though they lost their 922 00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,160 Speaker 2: top three quarterbacks, their top three running back, their top 923 00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:39,359 Speaker 2: six receivers for offensive lineman. Also, they're going to need 924 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,520 Speaker 2: some lower level guys to hit. Look, they're going to 925 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:44,200 Speaker 2: run like Connor Howell just got named the quarterback. It 926 00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:47,600 Speaker 2: was a three way race with the guys, a bunch 927 00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:52,239 Speaker 2: of guys that had at least power for experience, game experience, 928 00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,840 Speaker 2: Harold won the job. You're going to see like a 929 00:45:54,880 --> 00:46:00,840 Speaker 2: spread option, run heavy offense here from Charlotte. I do 930 00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:02,839 Speaker 2: have a lot of questions for two to five base 931 00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:04,720 Speaker 2: They have a lot of questions about their cornerback position 932 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,040 Speaker 2: and do I think app State can fully taken mge 933 00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,839 Speaker 2: not really. Look, obviously, everything I just said a ton 934 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:13,759 Speaker 2: of uncertainty on both sides. I took the points. I 935 00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,239 Speaker 2: want the coach. I want Alvin. I trust Alvin way 936 00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:18,960 Speaker 2: more than Loggins. So give me that touchdown in my pocket. 937 00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:23,200 Speaker 2: That was pretty much the handicapp for against an app 938 00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,239 Speaker 2: State team that I'm low on. I project this around five, 939 00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:28,680 Speaker 2: So yeah, give me Alvin over Loggins would say you. 940 00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:30,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I completely agree. It's the it's the coach here 941 00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:32,879 Speaker 3: that you want to back from what Alvin's done. Listen, 942 00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,239 Speaker 3: if Connor Harrold can run inside zone, quarterback keepers and 943 00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,680 Speaker 3: multiple with multiple running back sets like a Rourke brother, 944 00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,400 Speaker 3: then Charlotte can cook. Alvin loves to use tight ends here. 945 00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,120 Speaker 3: So it's just it's kind of a it's kind of 946 00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:47,839 Speaker 3: a bitch of an offense to prepare for. And we'll 947 00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:49,719 Speaker 3: see if Appstate is up to the task here, because 948 00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:51,480 Speaker 3: I don't think that they are whatsoever. And then on 949 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,320 Speaker 3: the other side, the pro style spread, the RPOs, the bootlegs, 950 00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,920 Speaker 3: the play action. They're going to want to get JJ 951 00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,560 Speaker 3: Cole and AJ Swan to throw verticals. I don't think 952 00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:01,160 Speaker 3: that they're gonna be able to get that done. They 953 00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:03,480 Speaker 3: do have a good wide receiver in Dalton stroman one 954 00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:05,840 Speaker 3: point nine yards per route run is four year career. 955 00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:12,319 Speaker 3: But I think it's a pretty simplified offense that you 956 00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:15,560 Speaker 3: can detect and you can defend. It's just not very complex, 957 00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:17,279 Speaker 3: and I think Ohio is going to be able to 958 00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:19,200 Speaker 3: scheme against that now. 959 00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:24,120 Speaker 2: Not Ohio, although Charlotte you mean Charlotte. Yeah, So Charlotte 960 00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:28,080 Speaker 2: has a bunch of Ohio linebackers, which should help with 961 00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:31,279 Speaker 2: the transition that their defense is going to look like 962 00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:32,959 Speaker 2: Ohio's linebackers from last year. 963 00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,520 Speaker 3: I did play the first half under last night when 964 00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:37,680 Speaker 3: I was doing the podcast notes. I'm not sure apps 965 00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:39,759 Speaker 3: they can get that vertical passing game going right off 966 00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,160 Speaker 3: all right off the start. If you know anything about 967 00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:45,320 Speaker 3: Albin's offense, it's ball control between the tackles, a slower tempo. 968 00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,160 Speaker 3: There's some offensive line continuity for the forty nine ers here, 969 00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,880 Speaker 3: so I expect them to be able to control the ball, 970 00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:54,960 Speaker 3: longer possessions, eat clock, and do what they want. So 971 00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:56,759 Speaker 3: I like the first half under here too. I mean 972 00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:57,799 Speaker 3: it's really kind of the theme. 973 00:47:57,880 --> 00:47:58,000 Speaker 1: Right. 974 00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,480 Speaker 3: We're getting new coaches, new players, new ski teams, knew 975 00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:02,560 Speaker 3: everything first half. Hunters are really the way that you 976 00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:03,040 Speaker 3: want to look. 977 00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,640 Speaker 2: All right, a couple of games that I have nothing 978 00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:08,520 Speaker 2: on before we get to Auburn Baylor, which is the 979 00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:13,680 Speaker 2: highlight of Friday, although it's worth mentioning tarletan State against Army. 980 00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:16,279 Speaker 2: Tarleton is really good at the. 981 00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,160 Speaker 3: Hearing a run to the national the FCS national titles. 982 00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:23,960 Speaker 2: What I'm hearing looked really good and look, Army has 983 00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,560 Speaker 2: a lot of question marks, especially on the offensive side, 984 00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:30,200 Speaker 2: at the losing daily and it's not like I mean, 985 00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:35,920 Speaker 2: look servicecatulaning ever two touchdowns against a team that looks competent, 986 00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:40,719 Speaker 2: although it is usually an advantage to not play, and 987 00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,239 Speaker 2: they saw what Tarleton had last week, and this is 988 00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:47,040 Speaker 2: one of the rare it's a rare example when I 989 00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:52,360 Speaker 2: don't think that you would want excuse me. So historically 990 00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:57,279 Speaker 2: this is FBS versus FBS teams making their debut. Hit 991 00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:59,560 Speaker 2: it like sixty one percent against He's played in week zero, 992 00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:03,239 Speaker 2: so that Army. And this is even worse because for 993 00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:05,480 Speaker 2: Tarleton because you're playing a team with an unique scheme, 994 00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,279 Speaker 2: so they're not able to prep and it's on a 995 00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:10,160 Speaker 2: short week and they were just in Portland and they're 996 00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:14,920 Speaker 2: going across the country. Situationally, it's a nightmare. But I 997 00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:17,640 Speaker 2: don't know. Maybe they wear down an Army should have 998 00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:19,840 Speaker 2: a ball a ton and just control the clock. But 999 00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:26,240 Speaker 2: if you're feeling fights the tarletan money line. Maybe maybe 1000 00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:28,480 Speaker 2: this is like when Army lost a Fordham a couple 1001 00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,040 Speaker 2: of years ago in their opener. But that should be 1002 00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:35,640 Speaker 2: a little entertaining game for the FCSFPS Central Michigan, San 1003 00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:39,400 Speaker 2: Jose State. I'm just curious to see what Central Michigan 1004 00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:44,840 Speaker 2: looks like. I project thirteen. I got nothing there and 1005 00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:48,760 Speaker 2: then you and L the Sam Houston State, two teams 1006 00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:55,040 Speaker 2: that I want to fade hard. So I got nothing there. 1007 00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:58,600 Speaker 2: Anything you need? You know, these lane ten and a 1008 00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:04,040 Speaker 2: half total sixty one and a half against Sam Houston. 1009 00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:05,920 Speaker 2: Anything there for you? 1010 00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:07,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, U and LV Sam Houston. I wrote up for 1011 00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:09,600 Speaker 3: action so you guys can go out to the app 1012 00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,120 Speaker 3: and check out that article. You know, just to give 1013 00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:14,040 Speaker 3: away the what is it, no sneak, no cookie, just 1014 00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,239 Speaker 3: give away the cookie. But Sam Houston, I don't think 1015 00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:18,000 Speaker 3: his price correctly. I think it's going to continue to 1016 00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,440 Speaker 3: come down. I think the tempo is going to be 1017 00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:25,200 Speaker 3: pretty fast here and there, is some issues tackling for 1018 00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:27,160 Speaker 3: both teams, So you know, go ahead and read about 1019 00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:28,400 Speaker 3: that and see what you can pull from it. For 1020 00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:30,640 Speaker 3: as far as Central Michigan San Jose State, you're right, 1021 00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:32,080 Speaker 3: it is a watch game. What are the two things 1022 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,879 Speaker 3: we're looking for and maybe we can discuss on Sunday. One, 1023 00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,480 Speaker 3: that Central Michigan offense under Matt Drinkall. He's going to 1024 00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:39,600 Speaker 3: bring that army style that he that he was running, 1025 00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:42,200 Speaker 3: so we're gonna and there's multiple quarterbacks in line. We 1026 00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:43,520 Speaker 3: got to figure out which one is the best to 1027 00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:46,120 Speaker 3: run this offense. And then on the other side of 1028 00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:50,440 Speaker 3: the ball, Leland Smith transfer from Purdue. He's going to 1029 00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:53,200 Speaker 3: try to field shoes of Nick Nash in Walker against 1030 00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:55,480 Speaker 3: when he's under center. So those are the two things 1031 00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:57,439 Speaker 3: that's that's a watch game and take notes game because 1032 00:50:57,480 --> 00:50:58,799 Speaker 3: these are two teams we want to bet on in 1033 00:50:58,800 --> 00:50:59,200 Speaker 3: the future. 1034 00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:01,879 Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't think much triple from Central, but you're 1035 00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:05,560 Speaker 2: gonna see like a modified rushing attack option, so we'll 1036 00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:08,480 Speaker 2: see how that looks. I want no part of either game. 1037 00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:13,320 Speaker 2: Let's talk a little Auburn Baylor. That is the marquee 1038 00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:19,200 Speaker 2: game on Friday night. Auburn is out to a two 1039 00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:23,400 Speaker 2: and a half point favorite. Here total ticked up a 1040 00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:28,080 Speaker 2: bit to fifty seven and a half. My main concern 1041 00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:31,759 Speaker 2: here for Baylor, I mean the offense. I don't really 1042 00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:36,160 Speaker 2: have many questions about, maybe like running back depth. It's 1043 00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:38,560 Speaker 2: really young and they lost Pendergressers like their power back, 1044 00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:40,040 Speaker 2: but you don't want him to be number number one. 1045 00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:42,920 Speaker 2: We saw that when Washington got hurt. But maybe running 1046 00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:47,400 Speaker 2: back depth. But you got Hawkins eligible at receiver, so 1047 00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:50,120 Speaker 2: their receivers are great. I love the Adam Wilson and 1048 00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:52,840 Speaker 2: will help in special teams too. Their offensive line looks 1049 00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:55,480 Speaker 2: really good. I love Sora Robertson, so like I don't 1050 00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:58,279 Speaker 2: have many questions about this offense, and I do have 1051 00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:01,680 Speaker 2: some questions about the Auburn defense, so Baylor should be 1052 00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:03,160 Speaker 2: able to put up its fair share of points. My 1053 00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:10,200 Speaker 2: biggest concern is the Baylor secondary. It the reports I'm hearing, 1054 00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:12,319 Speaker 2: and how the step chart looks like it's shaking me out. 1055 00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:16,880 Speaker 2: It's not what I wanted to see. I do like 1056 00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:19,200 Speaker 2: some of the defensive coach hires that they had, so 1057 00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,000 Speaker 2: maybe they can fix some of that. There were one 1058 00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:23,520 Speaker 2: hundred and twenty seventh in past explosion this last year, 1059 00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:27,440 Speaker 2: and now you're going up against a very, very talented 1060 00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:31,560 Speaker 2: Auburn wide receiver room. So can Iranda in the second 1061 00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:34,040 Speaker 2: year calling the D with some of these defensive staff hires. 1062 00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:37,840 Speaker 2: Can they fix that secondary? That is my biggest concern. 1063 00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:40,879 Speaker 2: Auburn just on paper has more talent. I mean, look, 1064 00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:43,080 Speaker 2: they were top ten in the portal, top ten recruiting 1065 00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:47,959 Speaker 2: this year. So but I don't like what I'm hearing 1066 00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:51,080 Speaker 2: out of Auburn. Like I love again Auburn. Also with 1067 00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:53,520 Speaker 2: their offense, I love like the offensive line. I think 1068 00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:55,880 Speaker 2: finally they have the offensive line in place. The guys 1069 00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:58,840 Speaker 2: in the right place experienced it was just a huge 1070 00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:01,560 Speaker 2: hole for years. I think they finally figured it out. 1071 00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:04,080 Speaker 2: It does look like Singleton, who was one of the 1072 00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:07,279 Speaker 2: best wide receiver gets in the entire portal from Georgia Tech, 1073 00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:10,359 Speaker 2: I can fly just a big play waiting to happen 1074 00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:13,000 Speaker 2: on any down. Looks like he's close to one hundred percent. 1075 00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:16,279 Speaker 2: So there were some injury questions in regards to him, 1076 00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:17,640 Speaker 2: but it looks like he's going to be good to go. 1077 00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:21,520 Speaker 2: That's important. But some of the things I'm hearing with Auburn, 1078 00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:23,920 Speaker 2: like in regards to play calling is I think Freeze 1079 00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:27,680 Speaker 2: might just be playing games. Was saying like he might 1080 00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:34,440 Speaker 2: play knight in Daniels at quarterback also, So I don't know, 1081 00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:39,360 Speaker 2: we'll see. I do think that Jackson Ronold is a 1082 00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:43,279 Speaker 2: good fit for the Freeze offense if he starts slow, 1083 00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:45,680 Speaker 2: like where is his confidence? So that's something I'm worried about. 1084 00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:48,319 Speaker 2: So I don't know. I mean I projected I'm high 1085 00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:50,840 Speaker 2: on Baylor, and I was higher than the mark and Auburn. 1086 00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:54,640 Speaker 2: I'm starting to sour on Auburn just from what I'm hearing, 1087 00:53:54,719 --> 00:54:00,520 Speaker 2: just like vibes wise Baylor, I project I have this 1088 00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:03,600 Speaker 2: like one. So if it got the three, I might 1089 00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:05,640 Speaker 2: consider Baylor, but I am worried about the secondary. I 1090 00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:08,919 Speaker 2: might look at this live another wrench to throw into 1091 00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:16,879 Speaker 2: this looks like freshman kicker for Baylor and McPherson, who 1092 00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:19,600 Speaker 2: was supposed to solve Auburn's kicking problems which were a 1093 00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:21,680 Speaker 2: disaster last year. I think they were dead last and 1094 00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:26,000 Speaker 2: field goal percentage. Looks like he unfortunately had a setback 1095 00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:29,400 Speaker 2: health wise. See he might be going back to McGuff 1096 00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:32,240 Speaker 2: or whoever those guys were last year. So the kicking 1097 00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:35,560 Speaker 2: in this game supposed to be a close game. Neither 1098 00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:39,560 Speaker 2: team should feel very confident in their kicking, so just 1099 00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:42,600 Speaker 2: keep that in mind. I don't know this gets a three. 1100 00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:44,600 Speaker 2: I'll be tempted by Baylor, but I'm definitely concerned about 1101 00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:48,120 Speaker 2: the secondary as of now, it's to stay away. Should 1102 00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:52,960 Speaker 2: be super entertaining game like both offenses should have big advantages. 1103 00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:55,439 Speaker 2: I know you like Auburn. Here, you played some early 1104 00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:56,680 Speaker 2: Auburn money line. What are you saying? 1105 00:54:56,760 --> 00:55:00,000 Speaker 3: I did play Auburn early money line. I'm not worried about. 1106 00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:02,680 Speaker 3: I mean, I know the warts that Auburn has, but 1107 00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:05,040 Speaker 3: there are problems with Baylor that I have too. I 1108 00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:07,680 Speaker 3: mean Sawyer Robertson. People are crazy about him, especially after 1109 00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:09,440 Speaker 3: a twenty eight to eight TD to I int, but 1110 00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:12,000 Speaker 3: he had a fifteen to sixteen big time throw to 1111 00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:14,440 Speaker 3: turnover worthy play rate. He was outside the top sixty 1112 00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:16,920 Speaker 3: five and on target rate. That means he's not one 1113 00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:19,560 Speaker 3: of the top half quarterbacks in FBS that can hit 1114 00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:24,239 Speaker 3: a target and stride Robertson's turnover worthy plate triples when 1115 00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:26,279 Speaker 3: he has pressure. I think there is going to be 1116 00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:28,240 Speaker 3: pressure in this game a little bit, but when it happens, 1117 00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:31,160 Speaker 3: it's such a big key because he just turns into 1118 00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:33,880 Speaker 3: a sub player when he has hands in his face, 1119 00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:35,840 Speaker 3: and it's been that way now for a couple of years. 1120 00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:38,959 Speaker 3: Keep your eyes on the weather here. There was rain 1121 00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,120 Speaker 3: predicted in the first quarter last night. When I look 1122 00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:43,160 Speaker 3: at this now, it's all predicted in the second half, 1123 00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:45,080 Speaker 3: So keep your eyes on that. It could be one 1124 00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:46,520 Speaker 3: of those things where if it is the first quarter, 1125 00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:47,920 Speaker 3: maybe you want to wait and play it live. If 1126 00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:50,400 Speaker 3: something funky happens with a slippery ball, it's. 1127 00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:52,719 Speaker 2: Gonna be weird, That's all I know. Yeah, Rana just 1128 00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:56,160 Speaker 2: keeps talking about stopping the run. Auburn's probably okay, we'll 1129 00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:56,960 Speaker 2: just throw all over you. 1130 00:55:57,120 --> 00:56:00,840 Speaker 3: I love David Randon because he's just so honest and truthful. 1131 00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:03,319 Speaker 3: I've never seen a coach just be able to just 1132 00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:05,920 Speaker 3: tell you exactly everything they're going to do and everything 1133 00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:09,319 Speaker 3: they're thinking. He doesn't hide anything. Q Freeze could could 1134 00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:12,120 Speaker 3: put something up on the chalkboard that could confuse a 1135 00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:13,800 Speaker 3: Rand a little bit. I mean, I know there's definitely 1136 00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,880 Speaker 3: history with those two calling against each other, so I 1137 00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:18,680 Speaker 3: don't really have issues back in Auburn. So I know 1138 00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:20,319 Speaker 3: there's a stall at the two and a half. I 1139 00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:22,759 Speaker 3: do think it's getting outside the power rating numbers where 1140 00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:25,360 Speaker 3: we're at. But when you look at the just everything 1141 00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:28,560 Speaker 3: from Jackson Arndld's finally going to be protected with that 1142 00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:32,719 Speaker 3: offensive line, Jackson Arnold's got weapons out the wazoo. I 1143 00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:35,520 Speaker 3: don't like Baylor's secondary, and I don't like Sawyer Robertson 1144 00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:38,040 Speaker 3: under center when he gets pressure, and I think Auburn 1145 00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:39,160 Speaker 3: is going to be able to produce a little bit 1146 00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:41,280 Speaker 3: of pressure. So all those things combined, I like Auburn. 1147 00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:43,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, a couple of guys who I was counting on 1148 00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:45,640 Speaker 2: taking a lead for the Bailo secondary. It sounds like 1149 00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:48,600 Speaker 2: that hasn't happened from what I've heard. Doesn't mean it can't, 1150 00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:51,839 Speaker 2: but I haven't just heard the things that I wanted 1151 00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:53,880 Speaker 2: to hear about this Baylor secondary, which is obviously a 1152 00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:57,400 Speaker 2: huge matchup in this game. All right, quick recap, that's 1153 00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:00,560 Speaker 2: I think like seventeen eighteen games, a little over an 1154 00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:03,759 Speaker 2: hour for Thursday Friday. Art will close out with just 1155 00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:06,799 Speaker 2: run down what you like, Just highlight a couple bets. 1156 00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:12,439 Speaker 2: I'll start like USF on Thursday, Rutgers NC State team 1157 00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:14,880 Speaker 2: total over. I think the pace will be there and 1158 00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:17,000 Speaker 2: I think the ECU defense is gonna get carved up. 1159 00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:19,520 Speaker 2: I played Wisconsin, sput it with first half a game, 1160 00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:22,120 Speaker 2: A little worried about just the total and how Miami 1161 00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:23,880 Speaker 2: Ohio is going to play and just try to ugly 1162 00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:26,680 Speaker 2: that game up, but do show enough value And I'm 1163 00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:30,120 Speaker 2: worried enough about Ohio to get involved there, Lean Buffalo, 1164 00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:33,760 Speaker 2: I think I prefer the under still waiting there. Probably 1165 00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:35,520 Speaker 2: have accurate and like some kind of round robin for 1166 00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:39,600 Speaker 2: fun and if you want to get really crazy with 1167 00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:43,240 Speaker 2: just some couch change in fun, Tarlatan money line against Army. 1168 00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:44,800 Speaker 3: We're gonna put that in the round robin I have. 1169 00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:47,880 Speaker 3: I think you and I opposite of the acc pot. 1170 00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:49,880 Speaker 3: I think you and I didn't disagree on a single 1171 00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:51,840 Speaker 3: thing today, So I echo everything that you have to say. 1172 00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:53,240 Speaker 2: Oh we will on tonight. 1173 00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:57,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I know Saturday's games. I know I like USF 1174 00:57:57,400 --> 00:57:59,600 Speaker 3: Also Rutgers over thirty one and a half team total. 1175 00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:02,680 Speaker 3: I take the thirty two. Also Wisconsin minus seventeen. If 1176 00:58:02,720 --> 00:58:04,040 Speaker 3: you still get it, even if it's juice, I think 1177 00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:05,960 Speaker 3: you go out there and get that. Charlotte appstayed too 1178 00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:08,120 Speaker 3: many new faces under twenty six and a half first 1179 00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:10,720 Speaker 3: half same thing and Kennesaw on Wake two offense is 1180 00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:13,720 Speaker 3: incompetent under twenty seven. First half is out there? Do 1181 00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:16,200 Speaker 3: like Auburn up to three. I wouldn't go past that. 1182 00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:18,360 Speaker 3: And then after that go read about Sam Houston and 1183 00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:20,040 Speaker 3: what the temple of that game is going to be. 1184 00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:22,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot to watch, a lot to learn, which 1185 00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:24,960 Speaker 2: is one of my favorite parts about week one in 1186 00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:27,680 Speaker 2: Today's New College Football.
