Tonight's show will be 5 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,639 Speaker 1: evidence because we're doing everything that we could possibly do. 6 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: Cham Packed, Hyatt Hof and elated downtown Nashville, Tennessee. Let 7 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: me tell you what we're doing tonight. We're gonna react. 8 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 1: I got some stuff to say about Clemson, about LSU, 9 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 1: about FSU. We're gonna predict. We've got countum one two 10 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: three Big Week two game predictions to get to tonight. 11 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 1: We are going to power rate the JP poll version 12 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: two point zero drops this evening. We're gonna bet and 13 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: we're out for blood this week with the ram Noodle Express. 14 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,919 Speaker 1: We've got four best bets tonight, including a rare total 15 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: that I like so much. We're gonna give it out tonight, 16 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: and we may even look at the live chat at 17 00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: the end of the show. We'll see how the voice feels. 18 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,839 Speaker 1: They're watching us in Winatchee, Washington, Bristol, England, Moundville, Alabama, 19 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: and Groveton, Georgia. We had the second most watched episode 20 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,320 Speaker 1: in the history of this show forty eight hours ago. 21 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: It may end up being the highest watched of all time. 22 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: We'll see. Views are still pouring in. We had almost 23 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: one thousand subs yesterday alone. But that's not the big news. 24 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: The new spinning logo is the big news. I asked 25 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: for one thing when I got here. It wasn't a 26 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: new studio, it wasn't a new mic, it wasn't a 27 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: new shirt. We all know that. I just wanted the 28 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 1: logo to spend and we got a spinny logo. And 29 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,479 Speaker 1: I appreciate producer Jesse and director Colin even has Matt 30 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 1: from old school Columbus version Late Kick helping us out 31 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: on that. We've got a lot to get to tonight. 32 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: So that's all the housekeeping I want to dive right in. 33 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: Last night, I was down at Management's house, you know, 34 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: gotta shake hands, gotta kiss babies, and I was watching 35 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: the Clemson game with Capital m Management. And Clemson wins 36 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: the game forty one to ten. Now what I could 37 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: have done is I could have just taken the night 38 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: off and I could have looked at the box score, right, 39 00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: and I think some of you may have done that. 40 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: It was late, so you had things to do, and 41 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: maybe this wasn't appointment viewing for you. Shame on you, though, 42 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: if you didn't go back, because I think the box 43 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: score may tell just a little different story than what 44 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: your eyeballs told you. So you need to watch this 45 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: one or at the very least pay attention for the 46 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: next five or so minutes. What does forty one to 47 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: ten sound like? Sounds like Clemson kind of walked in 48 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: Mercedes Benz Stadium and yawned their way to a victory 49 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: and just ground Georgia Tech into a pulp. 50 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 2: And at the end of the day, that's what scoreboard 51 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 2: looks like. That's not what the box score says. That's 52 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 2: not what your eyes probably told you. What did it 53 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 2: feel like most of you did watch the game? What 54 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 2: did it feel like to you when it was scoreless 55 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,519 Speaker 2: in the second quarter, when Clemson was laboring mightily offensively, 56 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 2: well into the third quarter, when it was a one 57 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 2: possession game and Georgia Tech. 58 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: Had the ball, looked like they could take the lead. 59 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: It seems like a long time ago. In fact, I 60 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: was saying that sentence by the end of my drive 61 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: home last night. Let's paper pop this thing together, and 62 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: let's talk about what we saw last night. I was 63 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: trying to search for the words to accurately describe my 64 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: feel about the Clemson quarterback situation, because that's all anyone's 65 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 1: talking about today, and I don't want to beat a 66 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: dead horse here. I've already given you my feel on 67 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: the whole DJ Uyangaliley and Kid Clubnik dynamic, and it 68 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: hasn't changed from last night. I still think ultimately Clubnik's 69 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: going to be the guy. I think if anything, last night, 70 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: even in a forty one to ten victory, I just 71 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: even my Clemson buddies who love DJ, there's no reason 72 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: not to love him. I'm going to talk about that 73 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: in a second. It's really tough on Daboswiney right now 74 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: because of that, even the ones who love him. Did 75 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: you not see it. You've heard the rumors out of 76 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: spring practice, you watch the spring game, you've heard the 77 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: rumors out of fall camp. But finally, if you didn't 78 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: believe me or anyone else, you saw it last night. 79 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: And you know what I had to do. I had 80 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: to go to nineteen eighties country lyricism to really sum 81 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: up my views on this quote from the great Tanya Tucker. 82 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: If it don't come easy, you better let it go, 83 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: because when it don't come easy, there's no natural flow. 84 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: You can watch dj Leangoli Le all you want to. 85 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: I think he's an improved quarterback from last year. Let 86 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: me put that out there before we offer any mild criticism. 87 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: He has worked his tail off, he has lost weight, 88 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: He is a better player. That's not what the conversation's about. 89 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 1: The conversation very clearly is about one thing and one 90 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: thing only, which guy gives clumbson the best chance to win. 91 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: And when Cad Klubnet came in, even in a blowout, 92 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: that's countered by the fact that he was playing with 93 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: a bunch of backups around him. Did you just notice 94 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: how easy it came? And did you notice, relative to 95 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: how it feels with one guy in the game, how 96 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: different it felt when the other guy came in the game. 97 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: This is not the first time we've seen this now 98 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: at Clemson, maybe actually not even at Clemson. There was 99 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 1: that whole Kelly Bryant dynamic back in the day. But 100 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: we've seen this with team to team dynamics at quarterback, 101 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: where one guy's in and it's just you could see 102 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 1: a path where if he does this, this and this, 103 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: and everything works out perfectly and he threads the needle 104 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: on every throw, he'll be great. And then the other 105 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: guy just comes in and it just it just happens. 106 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: It just flows. It's like salmon swimming upstream versus just 107 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: letting go and letting that river take you wherever. That's 108 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: kind of what it felt like to me when ka 109 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 1: Klubnett came in. Now, this is going to be a 110 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 1: difficult thing. Doesn't have to be a decision that's made overnight. 111 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: In fact, I don't think there's a decision being made 112 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: right now. Because the coaching staff was adamant after the 113 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: game DJ's are starting quarterback. I probably would have said 114 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: the same thing. But we all saw what happened last 115 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: night and they're seeing what happens in practice. But this 116 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: is not an easy job. See dabos Winny's ultimately the 117 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: guy that's got to make this call. It's not an 118 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: easy job for Dabo. Everybody including me can sit here 119 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: and talk about what they do. Well, we don't have 120 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: national championship rings on our hands. You know, we got 121 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: to pay for tickets or we got to get credentialed 122 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: to go stand on the sideline. For a reason, it's 123 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: because we're not the most qualified to make this call. 124 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 1: We don't see what Dabos wwennye sees at practice. Now 125 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 1: here's the follow up to that. He's got one responsibility 126 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: and that's to his team, his locker room, and his 127 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 1: staff to make the best decision for the betterment of 128 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,559 Speaker 1: Clemson football. And it gets really difficult because he knows 129 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: how good a kid dj Leanglile is. It'd be one 130 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: thing if he was a character concern and through his 131 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: own neck up irresponsibility wasn't locking down the job. It's 132 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: none of that by all accounts. He's a great kid 133 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 1: and he's done everything they've asked him to do. So 134 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 1: put yourself in daboshoes for a second. You've got that, 135 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: and you've got a kid doing everything you've asked him 136 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: to do and he has improved. But then you've also 137 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: got this other guy. Now, unlike us, Dabos sees k 138 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,919 Speaker 1: club nicke at practice, so he sees the mistakes he 139 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: makes too. We don't see that. You know, we saw 140 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: him come in limited time last night, and we've heard 141 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: rumors and whispers about him, and we saw him dice 142 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,919 Speaker 1: up people in high school, so there's really no negative 143 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 1: in our mind. We haven't seen any negative with K Club. Now. 144 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: We can imagine it's there, but we haven't seen it. Well. 145 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: Dabo sees it. He sees his starter doing everything he's 146 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 1: been asked to do. And he also is not immune. 147 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: Is dabloswinny to hearing the outside noise? He would lie 148 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 1: to you if he was here right now, he would 149 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: say he doesn't pay attention to it and he doesn't 150 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 1: hear it. It would be just that a lie. Every 151 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: coach is lying when they tell you that they're all aware. 152 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 1: Whether they pay a lot of attention to it or not, 153 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: they're all aware. And Dab on his coaching staff they're aware. 154 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: That's why they keep referencing it so much. They get 155 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: asked about it constantly. They're aware, the streets are talking. 156 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: They're aware of that, and it sometimes can make you 157 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: default into an adversarial mode. You've been in that position 158 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: in your life before. If you're neutral on something and 159 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: a bunch of folks that maybe you like or don't 160 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: like all say one thing, you just default yourself over 161 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: to the other side. For the heck, of it, And 162 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: in this case, not only is it just for the 163 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: heck of it, he happens to really really like his 164 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: starting quarterback and he's improved, and YadA, YadA, YadA. We've 165 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: already gone through that. So it's not going to be 166 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: the easiest of calls, and it doesn't have to be 167 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: made right away. They've got Furman and they've got Louisiana 168 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: Tech coming up. But I think ultimately, when you look 169 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: at this receiver corps, it is not vintage Clemson from 170 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: a few years ago. See DJ. Probably fine. They could 171 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: probably get by with him and pencil him into an 172 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: ACC championship game right now if they had that wide 173 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: receiver stable of yesterday year, cause there were just a 174 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: bunch of race horses, and you could stretch the field 175 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: vertically with him, and he has no problem doing that. 176 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: It's the intermediate game. It's trusting your quarterback to throw 177 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: the ball over the middle of the field on third 178 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: and seven a few times per game. I just don't 179 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: think they're there with him, and I don't know that 180 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: they will be there with kay klub Nick. I'm just 181 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: telling you from any kind of intel we've gotten from 182 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: gut Field, and then from the very limited view we 183 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: had last night, I ultimately think he's going to be 184 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: the guy there. And if here's the tell, although this 185 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: is not always the best tell, but if you were 186 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: to ask opposing fan bases in the ACC who would 187 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 1: you rather see starting at Clumbs in the rest of 188 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: the year, I guarantee you their answer would be the 189 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: guy who started last night. Now, that doesn't always mean everything. 190 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: I don't think it means nothing, though, I think it 191 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: means a lot of folks are starting to come to 192 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: the realization that that guy that was standing on the 193 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: sideline last night, albeit with his helmet on, but standing 194 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: on the sideline, that is a really, really good quarterback 195 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: the whole not a matter of if, but when type 196 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: deal feels like it's in the Clemson quarterback room at 197 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: the moment. Meanwhile, over my shoulder, I can't help but 198 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: notice it, it's like a blue sky the entire show, 199 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: every show. Academy Sports and Outdoors, in case you missed 200 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: the show the other night, has become our presenting sponsor. 201 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: So this is now Late Kick, presented to you by 202 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors. And here's the other bit of 203 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,439 Speaker 1: good news. We're going to be in Austin this weekend 204 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,559 Speaker 1: for Alabama, Texas, and I have it on very good authority, 205 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: meaning they texted me and told me so that our 206 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,079 Speaker 1: Academy reps are going to be there. So I get 207 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: to run into Alex and Company. And that also means 208 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: I get stocked with a fresh envelope of Academy gift cards. 209 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: So if you're in Austin Saturday, be on the lookout. 210 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: You're gonna need two things. A wet towel over your 211 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: head because it's going to be about ninety six degrees 212 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: at kickoff, not a cloud in the sky. And the 213 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: other thing is you're going to be needing to look 214 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: out for Academy gift cards. Academy Sports and Outdoors are 215 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: presenting sponsor, but also they are your one stop shop 216 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: for all your outdoor sporting goods needs and beyond grill equipment. 217 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I was told the other day hunting and 218 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: phishing licenses available there. I don't think any of you 219 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: have ever thought of that. Everything. If you live a 220 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: lifestyle like most of our audience does, everything you need 221 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: at least ninety five percent of your necessities in life 222 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: can be founded Academy Sports and outdoors. Even if one 223 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: of their locations can't be found in your backyard, Academy 224 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: dot com can, so make sure you hit them up. 225 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: They are the reason why this show remains free. That 226 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: plus the fact that you guys make the channel go 227 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: bonkers every day, So we appreciate that. We appreciate you, 228 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 1: we appreciate them. I want to get to a game 229 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: right quick. I'm not going to do a game recap 230 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: because it's forty eight hours old already. We haven't done 231 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 1: a show since FSU and LSU, So gonna I'm gonna 232 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: hit for just a couple of minutes each team. Everyone's 233 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: talking about this right now. I guarantee you, if you're 234 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: a Syracuse fan number one, you cost us money Saturday, 235 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: and I don't appreciate that. But I do appreciate the 236 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: fact that even you guys probably have an opinion on FSU, 237 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: and I guarantee you everyone's got an opinion on LSU. So, Colin, 238 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 1: here's a really good endpoint. FSU ended up beating LSU 239 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: in the Superdome the other night. You know that, twenty 240 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: four to twenty three. This was one of those first 241 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: watch made me feel one thing, but then the rewatch 242 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 1: made me feel a little bit of a different thing, 243 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: especially when it comes to FSU. So on the rewatch, 244 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: I came away with even more reasons for FSU fans 245 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: to be pretty excited. Sometimes a score doesn't tell you 246 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: the whole story other than someone just won a game. 247 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: But you can't always get the best predictive, forward thinking 248 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: feel just from a final score. The fact of the 249 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 1: matter is they could have won twenty four to twenty 250 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: three because of five turnovers, and you could walk away saying, yeah, 251 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: they want kind of hollow. It didn't mean anything moving forward. 252 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: And I had somewhat of that feel about the FSU 253 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: when when I first watched it, But then I went 254 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 1: back and watched it, and there are a lot of 255 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: reasons why stuff that happened in this game is translatable 256 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: and transferable throughout the rest of the season for FSU. 257 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: First thing that was just the most glaring, even on 258 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 1: first watch. Jordan Travis is such a better quarterback through 259 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: one game this year. We talked at nauseum over the 260 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: summer what the casuals would call the offseason about how 261 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: they could not throw the ball to save their lives 262 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 1: last year, and the other night he was twenty thirty 263 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: three for two sixty two touchdowns. Look, I know those 264 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 1: aren't Bryce Young numbers, but there's a gulf between what 265 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: Bryce Young has been and what FSU has been at quarterback. 266 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: That is a huge positive step in the right direction. 267 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: You need to consider the context too. They did not 268 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: run the ball great, so this was not LSU selling 269 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: out to stop the run and then Jordan Travis just 270 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 1: just picking apart holes in a loose zone back there. 271 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: They averaged three point five yards per carry did Florida State. 272 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,439 Speaker 1: So offense also was not great in the red zone. 273 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: And look, you can partly blame that on Jordan Travis. 274 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: This wasn't a perfect game. The reason I'm pointing out 275 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,199 Speaker 1: some of these things is FSU won a big game, 276 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,439 Speaker 1: and I think they could reasonably go back to Tallahassee 277 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: and say, we won this thing, and there were this 278 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 1: many errors. There were this many flaws in our game. 279 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: We didn't really run the ball all that great. We 280 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 1: were I think they had five trips to the red 281 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,959 Speaker 1: zone and had ten total points. Like imagine being Mike 282 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: norvel I tweeted out that video that I think Florida 283 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 1: State put out of him walking down the corridor. I 284 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: love the super Dome, love it. It's like a million 285 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: years old. He's walking down that decrepit old corridor there 286 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: that a lot of us who have covered games there 287 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: before know very well, and he walks in the locker 288 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 1: room and they go crazy, and then you know he soaked. 289 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: But afterwards, I imagine that staff got back to Tallahassee 290 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,559 Speaker 1: and looked at that film and said, we feel like 291 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: we could have run away with this. Now. Of course 292 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: LSU goes back to Baton Rouge and they say, well, 293 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: I mean, if we didn't muff every punt that was 294 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: ever kicked to us, maybe we could have done the 295 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: same thing. But it is such a relief because you felt, 296 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: if you're a Florida State fan for so long, like 297 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: you're in your way in the right direction. I've said 298 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,439 Speaker 1: this on the show many times over the summer about 299 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,719 Speaker 1: FSU when talking about this opening game that now they 300 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 1: have in the win column. It would be so nice 301 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,319 Speaker 1: to get some validation and some confirmation that you're headed 302 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: in the right direction. Like I drive frequently from Columbus, 303 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: Georgia to Nashville, Tennessee. It's about a five hour drive 304 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: on a good night and it's nice when you finally 305 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: start passing the signs that actually give a mileage distance 306 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: to Nashville. You don't see those in noon and Georgia. 307 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: You don't see those in Calhoun, Georgia. You see a 308 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: huge BUCkies there, like one hundred and twenty gas pumps 309 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: of that thing visible from space, but you don't see 310 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: Nashville mileage signs. Then when you get to Chattanooga, then 311 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: you finally start to see it. Well, Florida State man, 312 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: they've been driving for a little while under Mike Norvel 313 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: right now, and they're not where they want to be, 314 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: and no one is under the misguided notion that they are. 315 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: But finally the other night they get a big win. 316 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: Things finally go their way. They do not fall victim 317 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: to what a lot of us, me included here, to 318 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: be brutally honest, thought they would fall victim to, like 319 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: being outmatched on the perimeter, offensive line, being dismantled. In fairness, 320 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: I thought Mason Smith would be a big part of that, 321 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: and they lost him early on after he did dismantle 322 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: them one play and then towards ACL But they didn't 323 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: fall victim to a lot of that stuff. So finally 324 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: you're starting to get within drivable distance, within one gas 325 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: tank of where you finally want to be. So here's 326 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: what it's not. What it's not, and I respect Jared 327 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 1: Vers and a lot of these guys in the locker 328 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: room afterwards. What it's not is FSU's back right now. 329 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: And if you're over twenty years old, you know what 330 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: it looks like when FSU is really FSU. They're not 331 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: that yet. But here's what it is. It's a sure 332 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: sign they're headed in the right direction. And it's a 333 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: sure sign that this is not a sparkler. There's some teams, 334 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, benefit from massive bounces of the ball 335 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: in week one and they give you a misleading final, 336 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: but that's really where they peaked. It's a sparkler. It 337 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 1: burns for a little while, then it just fizzles out. 338 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: I don't think there's much of a threat of a 339 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: fizzle with this Florida State team. They're not a threat 340 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: to go eleven and one, but they're also not a 341 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: threat to crash and burn and make you look back 342 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: when they miss a bowl game, saying remember when they 343 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: beat LSU, Wow, I thought they were gonna be something. 344 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: I don't think that's this year. You remember when they 345 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: pushed Notre Dame? Was it last year? A couple of 346 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: years ago they pushed Notre Dame in the opener and 347 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: then yeah, kind of fell off. I don't think this 348 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: team's gonna fall off. You know, the magic number down 349 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: there has been eight. They want to win eight games 350 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: this year. I think a lot of people may be 351 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: recalibrating that. I'm still sitting on eight. I don't want 352 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: to massively adjust based on one game. But look at 353 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: the schedule here. They're going to Louisville in a well 354 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: this week, I think, or maybe next week. What's today 355 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: today is the Yeah, so next week and then, like 356 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: when you start to say these games out loud for 357 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: those of you on podcasts, Boston College, Wake Forest at 358 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: NC State, cums in Clemsonto a different animal, We're going 359 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: to talk about them obviously a little more when that 360 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: game comes around. But all of a sudden, if you 361 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: just duplicate the effort you were able to give the 362 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 1: other night, you give yourself a chance, and virtually every 363 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 1: game you play on the schedule, you certainly give yourself 364 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: more than a punchish chance to win eight games plus 365 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: it's a very exciting time. It's a very exciting time 366 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: there for them right now. Okay, Actually, Colin, let me 367 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: make sure of something because I don't want to jump ahead. Yes, 368 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: all right, So I mixed my notes up, and this 369 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: is probably the first time that I've ever caught that 370 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: instead of listening to Colin in my ears saying you're 371 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 1: out of order, just go forget about it, Just go okay. 372 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: For every up, there has to be a down. There's 373 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: drama going on around the LSU program right now, huge drama, 374 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: and it's not being bottled up. It's spilling over for 375 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: the world to see. So we have to talk about this. 376 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 1: Twenty twenty two is going to be a roller coaster 377 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: for this team. Always was going to be a roller 378 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: coaster for this team. Now you know that I am 379 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: a huge believer in Brian Kelly. But what you also 380 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: know if you watch this show over the summer when 381 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: we were doing our entire previews series, is I thought 382 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,919 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two was eventually going to come off the 383 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: rails for them, and it was going to be ugly 384 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: and it was going to be drama filled, but they 385 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: were going to be better for it. However, if you're 386 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 1: new around here and you don't know me any better, 387 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: you may think probably just making that up, rolling Colin, 388 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 1: because everyone's happy to buy in as long as you're winning. 389 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 1: But there are losses somewhere along the way on this schedule. 390 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: I'm not even going to pick out which ones they are. 391 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 1: I'm saying when they start to happen, when the bounce 392 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: of the ball doesn't go your way, when the turnover 393 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: battles minus two against you, and you lose as a 394 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 1: four point favorite one Saturday, then you get back in 395 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 1: that locker room. Then you get back on the bus, 396 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: on the plane, you go home. Guys have Sunday to 397 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 1: text each other, and slowly but surely, the way that 398 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: they used to do things is the way some guys 399 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: will want to fall back Those are the things some 400 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: will want to fall back on. It is almost inevitable 401 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 1: when you're trying to overturn a culture because there's some 402 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 1: residue that's left over. Doesn't matter when you win. When 403 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: you lose is when this stuff starts to bubble up. 404 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 1: And if you lose a few more games, then you 405 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 1: start to find out. It turns out there are some 406 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 1: guys still here that really do not serve the long 407 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 1: term best interest of what we're trying to do as 408 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,479 Speaker 1: a program. Those guys won't be there next year. But 409 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,959 Speaker 1: the point is you inevitably still have some guys around 410 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: there that are are much more conditioned to doing things 411 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: the old way, that probably aren't best cut out to 412 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: do things the new way. You can't overturn it completely overnight. 413 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly knows that if there's some bumps in the road, 414 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 1: it's still not the worst thing in the world. It 415 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: is a natural filtration process. You are finding out who 416 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: the best long term solutions are in your locker room, 417 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: and you're finding out the guys that you don't want 418 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: to be in the fox hole with, and you're finding 419 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: out things that may suck right now but are greatly 420 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 1: going to assist you in twenty twenty three and beyond that, 421 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: my friends, which probably not clear to you if you're 422 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 1: listening to on podcasts, that was this show July thirtieth 423 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 1: of this year, So that's before they even opened Fall Camp. 424 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 1: How did we know it was coming, Well, it was 425 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,119 Speaker 1: pretty obvious. Now. Notice I was not dumb enough to 426 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: try and pick out the exact week. Admittedly, I thought 427 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: it'd be a little deeper into the season than Week one. 428 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 1: We thought LSU would win the other night. But LSU loses. 429 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: And for those of you who aren't hardcore LSU fans, 430 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 1: maybe you just watched the game, you know they lost, 431 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 1: and then this is the first that you've really heard 432 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: anyone speak about LSU since then. If you followed the 433 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 1: program closely, or if you follow the sport closely, you 434 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: know there's been all kind of issues wide receivers removing 435 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: all the LSU insignia from their social media profiles, which 436 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: is the modern day equivalent of just asking for a 437 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: divorce for those of you thirty and older, that's how 438 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: that works. And so what do we have, Well, we've 439 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,479 Speaker 1: got some disagree front members in that locker room, and 440 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: I've had many, many a viewer and many a casual. 441 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: They're not synonymous. Please don't misunderstand me. I had many, 442 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: probably not our regular viewers, probably more casuals than our 443 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 1: regular viewers. They've hit me up by the dozens and 444 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,640 Speaker 1: dozens and said, what do you think about LSU? Now? 445 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: I just showed you what I think about LSU. Now, 446 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: I think we're getting exactly what should have been expected 447 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 1: this year. And that's coming from me, one of the 448 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: biggest believers on this planet in Brian Kelly. So that 449 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 1: was July thirtieth. Now we're in week two and they're 450 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: already h to one. They've got Southern coming to town Saturday. 451 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 1: They're gonna lose that halftime show. I think they're gonna 452 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: win the football game. It wasn't a matter of what 453 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: it happened. This was gonna happen. To be very very clear, 454 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 1: you cannot fire a head coach because of massive cultural 455 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 1: rot but keep a lot of the pieces in the 456 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: locker room and just hire a new coach and get 457 00:21:55,240 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 1: a blank slate. This is not a preview magazine. It's 458 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 1: not Xbox. This is the real world. This is how 459 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,679 Speaker 1: real world culture changes happen. You've seen it happen in 460 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: your office before. You've seen it happen in your school before. 461 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: Why would you think football is any different. Why would 462 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 1: you think of locker rooms any different. Here's what I 463 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: want to address. And there are some folks out there 464 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,880 Speaker 1: who I love in this space, who I think are 465 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: just wrong on this. The LSU culture is not crumbling, guys. 466 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: The LSU culture crumbled a year ago. That's why they 467 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,360 Speaker 1: cleaned house, That's why they fired everyone. That's why this guy, 468 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly is here now. So to those who think 469 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: that this was all going to go swimmingly, why did 470 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: you ever think that? I genuinely want to ask for 471 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 1: people's shop, that they lost the game the other night 472 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,959 Speaker 1: and that there are some internal issues now and you've 473 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: got some folks trying to bail on them, or seemingly 474 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: trying to bail on them. Why does that surprise you? 475 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,640 Speaker 1: If you've watched this sport for any length of time 476 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,479 Speaker 1: or you've been around competition, why does that surprise you? 477 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 1: And follow up question, because those of you who believe 478 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 1: that probably also believe this, Why don't you think Brian 479 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: Kelly can get the job done? Not this week or 480 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: two weeks. It's not an overnight fix. It never was 481 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 1: going to be that. Why don't you think he can 482 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,120 Speaker 1: get the job done? Or to put it another way, 483 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 1: what qualifications does turning this program around demand that Brian 484 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: Kelly doesn't have. He's not some new coordinator that you 485 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 1: hired out of nowhere. Oregon just hired Dan Lanning, okay, 486 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: And the first test drive that they took with him 487 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: was a forty nine to three beat down. I happen 488 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 1: to think Dan Lanning's going to be fine, but if 489 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,400 Speaker 1: you wanted to question him, that'd be okay. He's never 490 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: been a head coach before. Brian Kelly's been a head 491 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 1: coach older than some wells. Maybe I have decent clips, 492 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 1: so let me say it right. Brian Kelly's been a 493 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: head coach longer than some of the people who are 494 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,199 Speaker 1: criticizing him have been alive. And he's been winning longer 495 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: than a lot of you who criticize him have been alive. 496 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: This is how rebuilds happen. Fortunately it's not a classical 497 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 1: rebuild there because they've got some talent. But it doesn't 498 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: really matter if you've got talent if the talent's not 499 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 1: bought in. And that's why I said then in July, 500 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 1: and I'll reiterate now, you're gonna have to lose this year. 501 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 1: You're gonna have to lose some games. You're gonna have 502 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: to go through some very very down periods briefly to 503 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: expose the frauds in your locker room and to expose 504 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: the weak minded people that don't need to be there. 505 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: There are some really talented guys who you're gonna have 506 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: to rid yourself of. I'm not even singling anyone out 507 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: because I think we're talking about multiple guys, and so 508 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: that coaching staff, I think knows that. Brian Kelly knows that. 509 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: I think some of the more shrewd fans down there 510 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: know that this is not excuse making. They were bad 511 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,360 Speaker 1: and multiple phases. The other night, Special teams was a disaster. 512 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: Offensive line had issues, tackling was bad. They couldn't stretch 513 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: the field through the air. So there are a lot 514 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,880 Speaker 1: of facets of the football team that I don't think 515 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: were good enough and that I think they can improve on. 516 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 1: This year. This team could still have a good year, 517 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: but long term, there are some terminal issues that we're 518 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,239 Speaker 1: never going to be able to be rectified. That's why 519 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: I picked them to go seven and five. Guys. I 520 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: know what kind of talent they have. I also know 521 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,199 Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter what kind of talent you have, 522 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,919 Speaker 1: and talent level has become one of the most overrated 523 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: talking points in our industry, in the talking for a 524 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 1: living industry, because talent is a starting point. It's not 525 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: the finish line. That's not what wins every game. You 526 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 1: need it to win, but it's not a guarantee you're 527 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,640 Speaker 1: gonna do anything. So LSU right now, where are they at? 528 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: You feel like you've been through an entire season worth 529 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: of emotions with them. They're zero to one, that's where 530 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 1: they are, and they've got a couple of games now. 531 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: I think Southern colin can you throw their schedule? Yeah, 532 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: so Southern Mississippi State at home is going to be 533 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 1: a very tough game for them. We would favor in 534 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 1: Mississippi State at LSU right now, close, but we would 535 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: favor them. There is no lay up here. Then they 536 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: got New Mexico that is a layup. Then they go 537 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: to Auburn, they dive into that really really treacherous long 538 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,199 Speaker 1: stretch of SEC play. It's going to be tough, but 539 00:25:55,280 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 1: it's necessary. It is necessary. So at least your shoulders 540 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 1: were grabbed early on and you got shaken and now 541 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: you're awake. I would just anyone who is bailing on 542 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly as an LSU fan. If you're bailing on 543 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly, I don't know what you guys expected. I 544 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: really don't knowing the mess you had last year, or 545 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: maybe you don't fully know the mess you had last year, 546 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,919 Speaker 1: which is shocking because you watch every game. If you 547 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: don't know any better, maybe this surprised you. If you 548 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 1: know how sideways things got last year and you know 549 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: you can't clean that out overnight, this should not surprise you. Okay, 550 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 1: let's move on. LSU is not going to be featured 551 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,400 Speaker 1: in this next segment. My MIC's a little crooked there. 552 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: Bring it out there we go. Do me a quick, 553 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: quick favor because I know Jesse's crying about it in 554 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,679 Speaker 1: the chat that you guys don't really respect him enough 555 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,640 Speaker 1: because you don't know if he's real. I'm real. See 556 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 1: hear that. I'm real. Don't ask what that was. If 557 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 1: you're listening on pod. Do me a favor and like 558 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: the video. I mean, we got the spinny graphic over here, 559 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,679 Speaker 1: so that made me happy. Please make me happy and 560 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 1: just liked the video. We had almost a thousand subscriptions 561 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 1: to the channel, the YouTube channel yesterday, So these are 562 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,199 Speaker 1: the only two things I ask Jesse can get needy. 563 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: I just need three things. A white T shirt. I 564 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: can take care of that myself. My mom sends me 565 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 1: a new one every other week. And then I need 566 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: you to subscribe to the channel and like these videos 567 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,880 Speaker 1: and that's it. That and Academy keep the show free. 568 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,400 Speaker 1: I appreciate it in advance. See there come the lights. 569 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: Thank you so much. JP Pole time. What is the 570 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: JP Pole? I have to remind you every week because 571 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 1: some of you the same ones over and over. Forget 572 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 1: every week the AP pole came out yesterday or today. 573 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: We don't care. We don't care. We don't care. We 574 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: don't rank teams on this show because we don't react 575 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 1: really on this show. We have our own proprietary model here. 576 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 1: And if you ever think I make a good point 577 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: on this show, it's probably just caused the model powered 578 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: the point. If I make a bad point, it's also 579 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 1: on the model, So you know, it's never really my 580 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 1: fault one way or the other. We do very much 581 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 1: an odds making Vegas style power pole power rating, and 582 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: so what we do is every Tuesday night on this show, 583 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: as long as people care about it, I will show 584 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: them to you. We don't take ten minutes on this, 585 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: but I'm going to show you. So this is updated 586 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: every games in the books. We're headed into week two. 587 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: This is strictly forward focused. It is predictive. It is 588 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: who we would favor against neutral field tomorrow. I'm gonna 589 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 1: go ahead and spoil something for you. We got Utah 590 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 1: ahead of Florida in this power rating right now. And 591 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 1: the reason and the only reason, kind of like odds makers, 592 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,680 Speaker 1: is Utah would be favored narrowly against Florida on a 593 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: neutral field that they played today. And that's it. I 594 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:36,679 Speaker 1: watched the game the other night. So anyway, we'll get 595 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: to that in a second. Let's start I think at 596 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 1: twenty five, Jesse, we're gonna start all the way down 597 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: at twenty five. Yeah, let's do it. Auburn is at 598 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: twenty five. I'm gonna read them for the podcast crowd. 599 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: Cincinnati lost to Arkansas, doesn't matter. They were impressive. We 600 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 1: bumped them up to twenty four. Ole Miss kind of 601 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: in the same spot, Kentucky in the same spot. Oklahoma 602 00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: State defensively, My guess is the modellest punish them for 603 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: giving up a lot of points to Central Michigan. So 604 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: Oklahoma State is twenty one. Let's head into the top twenty. 605 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 1: It's going to get really really narrow here. To tell 606 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: you how narrow this is, I'm probably going to repeat 607 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 1: this stat a couple of times. The gap between my 608 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 1: tenth rated team and the twenty fourth rated team is 609 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: three point eight points. So if you have any complaints 610 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: that someone's rated nineteenth and someone's rated fourteenth, it doesn't matter. 611 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: They're all the same. There's just this great big rubber 612 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 1: band ball and they're fourteen teams separated by three point 613 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 1: eight points. Okay, with that caveat out there, that will 614 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: be ignored, I can predict the comment section already. USC 615 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: is number twenty. Florida goes from being unrated to number nineteen. 616 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 1: Texas likewise went from being unrated to being number eighteen. 617 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: Big jumps, but it is week one to week two, 618 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 1: so presumably that's when the biggest jumps would happen. Check 619 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: out Mississippi State. According to the JP Pole, they're the 620 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,719 Speaker 1: most underrated team in the country. Tippy State is at seventeen, 621 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 1: Michigan State is at sixteen. And because all these teams 622 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 1: look to have climbed, there have to be some teams 623 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 1: that fell. You just saw them. Let's go top fifteen here. 624 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: It's really saucy. Baylor's down a couple of spots. Penn 625 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: State I was looking at this, Penn State didn't really 626 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: drop all that much. I mean, I think we dropped 627 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 1: them three quarters of a point, but that was enough 628 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: given how crowded the picture is. Right now, to take 629 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: the Niitney Lions from tenth to fourteenth, it's all the same. 630 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: Like I told you, Wisconsin down a couple spots, thirteen, 631 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: Tennessee's up three. They're at number twelve. Notre Dame lost 632 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 1: to Ohio State but climbed three spots. So the model 633 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 1: actually said maybe fourteen was a little too low for 634 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: Notre Dame, so it bumped it up to eleven. Bumped 635 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: them up to eleven. Here we go top ten times. 636 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: We can't afford the drum roll. We invested all our 637 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 1: money in the spending graphics. So the number ten team 638 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 1: in the country, which I have to be real with you, 639 00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: I'm still in the remains to be seen camp on 640 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: Miami and UTA's number nine models dropped them one spot. 641 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: They lost narrowly on the road. It was a narrow 642 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 1: point spread. There is a huge knee jerk reaction in 643 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: the market because of obviously someone getting a win someone 644 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 1: getting a loss. I know this is gonna sound crazy 645 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: and counterintuitive in the odds making world, in the power 646 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 1: rating world, that number zero. You know, if you win 647 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: twenty one to nineteen, you beat me by two points 648 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 1: and we cross a zero there, it doesn't matter. It's 649 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 1: just a two point difference. Someone got a win in 650 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 1: the real world and someone got a loss in the 651 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: real world. If you're trying to build a predictive model, 652 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 1: stuff doesn't matter, and it pays off for you moving 653 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 1: forward because it removes the emotion and the distraction of 654 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 1: wins and losses. Yes, in this world, those are distractions. 655 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: UTA's number nine, Arkansas's number eight. Now we're getting into 656 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 1: territory where there are tiers. Here there is a fall off, 657 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 1: a little fall off between our number seventeen, which is Oklahoma, 658 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 1: and umber eight through twenty four. I told you there's 659 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: a gap of three point eight points between number eight 660 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 1: and number twenty four. Well, then we get into a 661 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: little different tier here, Oklahoma seven, Texas A, and m six. 662 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 1: A lot of this is unchanged. We get into our 663 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 1: top five. Did anyone change? I think we had one switch. Yeah, 664 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 1: so Clemson is still fifth, Michigan, we're really high on them. 665 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 1: They're still fourth. Ohio State and Georgia kind of like 666 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: the AP. I think they switched. So Ohio State is 667 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 1: number three. Georgia's up there at number two. I think 668 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: we've still got Alabama about four and a half points 669 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: separate of Georgia at number one. So that just means 670 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 1: that they played in Atlanta today, you're looking at Bama 671 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 1: minus about four to four and a half according to 672 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 1: our model. Okay, so the couple of things that I 673 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 1: want to point out here Notre Dame. True enough, they 674 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 1: lost and they climbed. Notre Dame's limitations obviously going to 675 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 1: be offense. Notre Dame's got several more games They're going 676 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 1: to play against reputable competition. My hunch is that there 677 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 1: is a level of team like Ohio State that they 678 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,719 Speaker 1: don't meet the freeze point against. But then there are 679 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 1: some other teams out there where I think offensively they'll 680 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: end up being a lot better than they were the 681 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 1: other night in Mississippi State, We've got him as the 682 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 1: most underrated team in the country. Cincinnati rose one spot. 683 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 1: Like I told you, even though they lost a game, 684 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: the model still loves Clemson. And not every team that 685 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 1: you saw fall actually fell. Some of them kept the 686 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 1: exact same power rating or almost the same power rating. 687 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 1: They just had to fall by default because some other 688 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,960 Speaker 1: team rose above them. It's kind of like recruiting. Sometimes 689 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 1: kids ranked thirty eight, then he's ranked forty fifth and 690 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 1: mom wants to know why he fell seven spots. Well 691 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 1: he didn't. Seven kids got rated above him, so his 692 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: ratings stayed the same, but he fell anyway, Utah still 693 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 1: ten spots above Florida. You can either look at it 694 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 1: that way or you can look at it this way. 695 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: We would have Utah minus one point eight five points 696 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 1: on a neutral field today. In other words, they're the 697 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 1: same team. They're rated the same team. Right now. I mean, 698 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: I'm going to get so much pushed back from people 699 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 1: who don't watch the segment on that cluster of teams 700 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: eight through twenty four, and it's just not worth arguing about. 701 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 1: It's week two. If you just want me to save 702 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,280 Speaker 1: you time and say, yeah, we're probably wrong, I'll probably 703 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 1: just end up saying that. So that is the JP 704 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 1: Pole week two. Looking very forward to seeing how that 705 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 1: thing gets shaken up over the coming weeks. All right, 706 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 1: it's time to predict some games. Now. This is a 707 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 1: Tuesday night staple. Let me straighten that out again. Tuesday 708 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,719 Speaker 1: night is normally prediction night for us. It's just that 709 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,399 Speaker 1: week one is so thrown into a blender because we've 710 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 1: got games all the way through Monday, that we're having 711 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:34,359 Speaker 1: to do everything tonight. Thus the Unicorn Show. Here we go, 712 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: Alabama at Texas Saturday noon, eastern kickoff, big noon kickoff, 713 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,800 Speaker 1: ninety six degrees and sunny there in Austin. We will 714 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:48,439 Speaker 1: be there the every given Saturday tour will be at 715 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 1: d k R there in Austin, Texas. I found a stat. Well, 716 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 1: let me rephrase stat's an info found a stat and 717 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 1: they passed it on to me. Did you know Bama's 718 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 1: won fifth three straight non conference games? You probably didn't 719 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,520 Speaker 1: know the exact number. You know, they've been pretty successful. 720 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:10,840 Speaker 1: Which trivia time? Which team was the last one to 721 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:14,240 Speaker 1: beat them in an out of conference regular season matchup? 722 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 1: Jeopardy music, Jeopardy music, Jeopardy Music? Exactly, it was Louisiana Monroe. 723 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,879 Speaker 1: I kid you not. That's the last time they lost 724 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 1: an out of conference game was two thousand and seven, 725 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 1: and that was Nick Saban's first year. That was a 726 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: memorable day. This one may be too for opposite reasons. 727 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 1: Steve Sarkisian has been accused of downplaying the magnitude of 728 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: this game because he dared to say something factual, and 729 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,440 Speaker 1: that is our goal is to win the Big twelve. 730 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 1: This game doesn't matter in that context. Well, that is 731 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 1: of course reality, and it is of course reality that 732 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,880 Speaker 1: there's an entire group of people out there who I 733 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,239 Speaker 1: don't think like Steve Sarkisian very much. He's right about that. 734 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,959 Speaker 1: He's not downplaying anything. Even if you think he's trying 735 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 1: to downplay something, He'm not downplaying anything. This is a 736 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,400 Speaker 1: massive game for Texas. It's a massive game for him 737 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,400 Speaker 1: as a coach. It's a massive game for the program. 738 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 1: It's huge for recruiting, it's huge for the fan base. 739 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 1: They've been looking forward to this thing for like three 740 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,920 Speaker 1: or four years. How would they pull it off? You know, 741 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,319 Speaker 1: we do the whole in these big point spread games. 742 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: How would the upset happen? Precision and yards after catch. 743 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 1: I don't think anyone on that Texas staff thinks that 744 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 1: quinn Ewers is about to have all day to sit 745 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 1: back in the pocket and pick Alabama apart. I don't 746 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 1: think they believe they're going to have much time to 747 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: stretch the field five to seven step drop. Let's let 748 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:36,759 Speaker 1: those long, developing routes for him down the field. No, no, no, 749 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 1: You've got an ultra green offensive line, You've got an 750 00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 1: ultra green starting quarterback. You've got the most ferocious pass 751 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,480 Speaker 1: rush any of these kids will see this year or 752 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:50,040 Speaker 1: perhaps in their college careers. You've got to have poise, 753 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,360 Speaker 1: you've got to have precision, accuracy, and you've got to 754 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 1: have yards after catch. I don't think you're going to 755 00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 1: get it strictly through the air. Luckily, Texas does have 756 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,319 Speaker 1: enough athletes to where you can get them hopefully in 757 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 1: enough space, quick timing, quick rhythm. You saw Sart do 758 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,440 Speaker 1: it a lot at Alabama, and then they make it 759 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,440 Speaker 1: happen after the catch. That's one thing that if it 760 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:14,120 Speaker 1: consistently were to happen all afternoon, would obviously give Texas 761 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 1: a shot in the fourth quarter. The second thing which 762 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,160 Speaker 1: I think everyone realizes has to happen is Xavier Worthy 763 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,960 Speaker 1: has to essentially be for Texas this Saturday what Davante 764 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:29,640 Speaker 1: Smith was for Alabama. Steve Sarkisian masterfully utilized Davante Smith 765 00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 1: when they played when they played Ohio State in the 766 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,160 Speaker 1: National title game, which you guys remember DeVante Smith, He's 767 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 1: already won the highest than he just goes off and 768 00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 1: it was really really sad to watch if you were 769 00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,919 Speaker 1: a Buckeye fan, partly cause a scheme and partly cause 770 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 1: he's just such a good athlete, you really had no 771 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:49,120 Speaker 1: shot against him. He needed some ridiculous number like twenty 772 00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,359 Speaker 1: catches to set the all time single season record. No 773 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,279 Speaker 1: one catches twenty passes in the game, and he had 774 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,799 Speaker 1: twelve at the half with over two hundred yards and 775 00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,600 Speaker 1: got hurt, so it is out the second half. I 776 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,400 Speaker 1: think they could have gotten him the record. They utilized 777 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:07,480 Speaker 1: him every which way imaginable. Steve Sarkisan Saturday has to 778 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,400 Speaker 1: you got to utilize Xavier Worthy every which way imaginable. 779 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 1: Fifteen touches in an ideal world. Plus, it's what I 780 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 1: would love to see Xavier Worthy have. And that's not 781 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,440 Speaker 1: always a quick six to seven yard slant either. You 782 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,920 Speaker 1: can do that all different kinds of ways. Worthy's got 783 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:24,399 Speaker 1: to touch the ball, and touch the ball a lot. Now, 784 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 1: that's no guarantee of success. You can rest assured. Alabama 785 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 1: keys on that. But the thing about really good athletes 786 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:34,600 Speaker 1: is the best of the best can make you keying 787 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,880 Speaker 1: on them. Still be kind of irrelevant. They can just 788 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 1: make plays. They call him playmakers for a reason. Also, 789 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 1: we haven't seen Alabama go on the road yet this year. 790 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:47,960 Speaker 1: It's an early season and so fresh in everyone's mind 791 00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,080 Speaker 1: is probably their narrow win in the Iron Bowl on 792 00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 1: the road at Auburn, and their loss on the road 793 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,239 Speaker 1: at Texas A and M. And their struggle win on 794 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 1: the road early against Florida. The road impacted Alabama last year. 795 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,360 Speaker 1: This is not like last year's team. I know that. 796 00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,279 Speaker 1: Bear with me. We're trying to paint the path how 797 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,799 Speaker 1: the upset could happen if they get on the road 798 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,440 Speaker 1: and they look a little rattle, and offense isn't exactly 799 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 1: in rhythm and the new pieces on that offensive line 800 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:17,000 Speaker 1: aren't exactly in sync. Yes, I suppose along with suspect 801 00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,439 Speaker 1: blocking at tight end right now for them, I could 802 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 1: see it. Okay, not out of the question, Maybe not likely, 803 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,200 Speaker 1: but not out of the question. However, this is where 804 00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 1: things kind of go downhill. There is no way to 805 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 1: sugarcode how lopsided. This matchup is going to be long 806 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,839 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. This Bama pass rush is the best 807 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,720 Speaker 1: saving has had. It's the best. Texas full of Seene, 808 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:44,360 Speaker 1: ultra young, an ultra inexperienced on the offensive line. Likewise, 809 00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 1: at quarterback. The risk level that they're going to have 810 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,360 Speaker 1: to incur at Texas to sustain for four quarters and 811 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 1: match Bama for four quarters, I don't see any way 812 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,640 Speaker 1: of paying off. And by that I mean you cannot 813 00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,960 Speaker 1: go in their Saturday and thinking we'll hold Alabama to 814 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,240 Speaker 1: twenty four. That's not reasonable. If you do it, hats 815 00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,880 Speaker 1: off to you. It's not reasonable. You probably walk in 816 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,359 Speaker 1: knowing we need thirty five or more to think we're 817 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 1: gonna win this game. Our starting point is thirty five, 818 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,640 Speaker 1: and to do that, it means you need to sustain 819 00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,080 Speaker 1: some drives. Unless you're gonna get twenty one defensive points 820 00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 1: out of nowhere, You're gonna have to sustain some drives, 821 00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,760 Speaker 1: and that means taking risk a lot of it because 822 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,520 Speaker 1: you're not gonna have a lot of time to operate. 823 00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:30,360 Speaker 1: And unless Bejon Robinson in that run game really finds 824 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 1: some traffic inside against Alabama, which I guess could happen, 825 00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,440 Speaker 1: unless you're starting to pound away unexpectedly on the ground, 826 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,800 Speaker 1: you got to take some risks, and you got to 827 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:44,040 Speaker 1: make several of those. Steven Garcia throws. The Alabama fans 828 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,759 Speaker 1: love to have nightmares so much about thirteen years ago. Now, 829 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:52,880 Speaker 1: twelve years ago, now, I can't see that formula playing 830 00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:56,120 Speaker 1: out and Texas having a goose egg in the turnover column. 831 00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 1: It's what I'm telling you. They could do it. I mean, 832 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,480 Speaker 1: they could do it all afternoon. I just think turnovers 833 00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,439 Speaker 1: are inevitable there. So I think they need thirty five 834 00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,880 Speaker 1: or more hold Bama to thirty four or less. I 835 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:09,439 Speaker 1: think that's what the blueprint is. I do believe though, 836 00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,520 Speaker 1: now we will learn a lot about this Texas defense Saturday, 837 00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:16,600 Speaker 1: because there was a lot of encouraging signs Saturday, and 838 00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,040 Speaker 1: there were a lot of encouraging signs throughout fall camp 839 00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,839 Speaker 1: that they have taken a pretty sizable step. Two things 840 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:26,240 Speaker 1: can be true. They can have taken a sizeable step 841 00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,360 Speaker 1: defensively and still not be good enough to at Alabama. 842 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,399 Speaker 1: The whole freeze point theory, in other words, I think 843 00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:33,200 Speaker 1: is going to be an effect Saturday. Let's take a 844 00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,080 Speaker 1: look at what the model thinks. Let's take a look 845 00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,120 Speaker 1: at what the odds makers think this one was. You know, 846 00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,840 Speaker 1: it's weird because in the summer it was two touchdowns 847 00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:44,080 Speaker 1: fifteen sixteen. This as of today or as of tonight, 848 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:48,080 Speaker 1: is Alabama minus twenty at Caesar's. Our model has Alabama 849 00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:52,560 Speaker 1: minus nineteen. I gotta be real with you. I don't 850 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,560 Speaker 1: think it's going to be as violently ugly as Georgia Oregon, 851 00:41:56,480 --> 00:42:00,319 Speaker 1: but it is a classic freeze point game. They're probably 852 00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:03,080 Speaker 1: two teams in America right now that fit the philosophy, 853 00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 1: Georgia and Alabama, and the philosophy is when you get 854 00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:08,960 Speaker 1: their full attention. I'm not going to assure you Texas 855 00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,960 Speaker 1: has Alabama's this week. Believe me, I've talked to some 856 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:15,240 Speaker 1: folks in the program. You got all of Alabama Saturday, 857 00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,480 Speaker 1: you got the a game. If you get that from them, 858 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,160 Speaker 1: there are only a couple of teams that even meet 859 00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,000 Speaker 1: the freeze point, which means there are only a couple 860 00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,360 Speaker 1: of teams that can withstand that and have a puncher's 861 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:28,440 Speaker 1: chance of beating them. I don't think Texas is one 862 00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,440 Speaker 1: of those teams. And the thing about a point spread 863 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:34,040 Speaker 1: and trying to predict is in the college game, if 864 00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:37,640 Speaker 1: you get a minus or better play from an elite 865 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,319 Speaker 1: team and you don't meet the freeze point, there's no 866 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,839 Speaker 1: limit to how ugly the game can get. I think 867 00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:44,959 Speaker 1: the game is gonna get ugly Saturday. So I'm taking 868 00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,200 Speaker 1: Alabama to win. I'm taking Alabama to cover. We will 869 00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,120 Speaker 1: be there so if we're wrong, you won't have to 870 00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:52,960 Speaker 1: wait long. A couple of minutes after the game and 871 00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,240 Speaker 1: I'll be right there with my little CBS stick Mike saying, 872 00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:59,680 Speaker 1: why didn't I see this coming? I think it's coming though. 873 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 1: Think it's not going to be pretty Saturday. Let's go 874 00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:08,439 Speaker 1: to Tennessee at Pitt Direct. Colin been nervous all day, 875 00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,640 Speaker 1: and it's not because we had technical issues. It's because 876 00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:12,960 Speaker 1: Tennessee's going on the road at Pitt and they're a 877 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:19,000 Speaker 1: touchdown favorite. Three thirty kickoff, ABC, all times Eastern. I 878 00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,719 Speaker 1: would like to offer before we even start the breakdown, 879 00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:25,120 Speaker 1: my eternal praise to teams like Tennessee and teams like Pitt. 880 00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,239 Speaker 1: Last week, team like Utah going on the road and 881 00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:30,879 Speaker 1: out of conference play. This is not one of those 882 00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,480 Speaker 1: ugly neutral site games that no one likes, no one 883 00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,600 Speaker 1: cares about unless your corporate sponsor. This is what college 884 00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,000 Speaker 1: football should look like, whether it's a conference game or not. 885 00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,560 Speaker 1: It should be in a home venue. Here goes Tennessee 886 00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:45,799 Speaker 1: on the road. Tennessee and Pitt both have preseason over 887 00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:47,839 Speaker 1: under win totals of eight and a half. They are 888 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,439 Speaker 1: both one and oh. Tennessee had a little easier time 889 00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:52,359 Speaker 1: of it than Pitt in Week one, but they're both 890 00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,839 Speaker 1: one and oh. How do you label this game? It's 891 00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:58,640 Speaker 1: not a must win game, but it feels really really important, 892 00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:01,440 Speaker 1: especially to being out of conference game. I think the 893 00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,479 Speaker 1: most important player in this one is actually a pit player. 894 00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,920 Speaker 1: I think it's Keiden Slovas. A Slovas had a pretty 895 00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:09,879 Speaker 1: good game in Week one. It was a mixed bag 896 00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:13,480 Speaker 1: though they played West Virginia. That's a game that I 897 00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:16,239 Speaker 1: think a lot of you watched. He went for over 898 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,200 Speaker 1: three hundred through the air. It's a really good number 899 00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,800 Speaker 1: in a debut performance for Keiden Slovas. But they started 900 00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:27,760 Speaker 1: really slow. I really fear if that happens again against Tennessee, 901 00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:32,360 Speaker 1: Tennessee can start very fast on you. And I don't 902 00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,880 Speaker 1: feel like seeing West Virginia in a fourteen or seventeen 903 00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:40,040 Speaker 1: to nothing hole because at that point, I not necessarily 904 00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:41,880 Speaker 1: no one wants to be in a seventeen nothing hole. Okay, 905 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,319 Speaker 1: no one's favorable in a seventeen to nothing hole, But 906 00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,279 Speaker 1: I fully expect because of them trying to prevent that 907 00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,239 Speaker 1: and trying to prevent a duplicate of what happened last week. 908 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,439 Speaker 1: Early on, I think they're going to take some shot 909 00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:56,080 Speaker 1: plays everyone thinks about Pat and arduze Nado. They'll just 910 00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:59,200 Speaker 1: play it underneath. They'll try and pound away if they can. 911 00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:01,919 Speaker 1: Not a great running effort last week, but they'll they'll 912 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,200 Speaker 1: try and pound away at the can and they'll just 913 00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:07,799 Speaker 1: hit balls underneath and they'll sustain drives. I think they're 914 00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,880 Speaker 1: going to take some shots early. I think they understand 915 00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,279 Speaker 1: how much they need to loose in Tennessee defensively, which 916 00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:15,840 Speaker 1: they were never really able to do last week against 917 00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:20,279 Speaker 1: West Virginia. And for that reason, keep your eye on 918 00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:24,759 Speaker 1: that yards per carry stat first quarter, first half, keep 919 00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:26,799 Speaker 1: your eye on it for both teams. Cause Pitt last 920 00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:30,760 Speaker 1: week thirty nine carries for seventy six yards against West Virginia. 921 00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,959 Speaker 1: That's one point nine yards per carry. And if there's 922 00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:37,680 Speaker 1: one facet defensively Tennessee feels good about coming into this game, 923 00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,960 Speaker 1: it's run defense. They feel like they match up very 924 00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:44,040 Speaker 1: well there. They're solid, and I think if they start 925 00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:47,080 Speaker 1: to do that, and it's just standard pit run on 926 00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,919 Speaker 1: early downs, and let's get to second and five, let's 927 00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:51,520 Speaker 1: get to third and three, and then we'll pull whatever 928 00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:53,520 Speaker 1: we want to out of our bag. If it's that great, 929 00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:56,080 Speaker 1: If it's not that and if it's a critical amount 930 00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:59,160 Speaker 1: of third and seven or longer and you're putting Keidan 931 00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:01,919 Speaker 1: Slovas in consistent positions to have to bail you out, 932 00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,480 Speaker 1: it's not a recipe for success here. I think that's 933 00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:06,960 Speaker 1: a recipe for being minus two turnover a better. So 934 00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:11,160 Speaker 1: if I'm Tennessee, it goes one of two ways. It 935 00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,759 Speaker 1: either goes the way where Tennessee commits a lot of 936 00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,759 Speaker 1: mistakes that are forced by Pitt and we feel like 937 00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:21,680 Speaker 1: we give the game away and we lose, or Pitt 938 00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,319 Speaker 1: just flat out outscores us. Those are the two paths 939 00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,480 Speaker 1: for us losing this game. And I don't believe, if 940 00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:29,200 Speaker 1: I'm a Tennessee fan, that number two is happening just 941 00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,640 Speaker 1: on its own. I don't believe Pitt's outscoring me. So 942 00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:35,359 Speaker 1: if we're dropping this game, we contributed to it. Now, 943 00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:37,399 Speaker 1: That's how I feel if I was a Tennessee fan. 944 00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:39,359 Speaker 1: Let's take a look at what the model thinks about 945 00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,560 Speaker 1: this thing. And this is with baited breath that director 946 00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:45,640 Speaker 1: Colin punches that button in there, Director Colin, you cut 947 00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:50,200 Speaker 1: him open. He bleeds orange and white, mainly orange. The 948 00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,520 Speaker 1: model is a little bit north of the line here. 949 00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:54,759 Speaker 1: The line is Tennessee minus six and a half. The 950 00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:58,400 Speaker 1: model has Tennessee minus seven. Now I gotta remind you 951 00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:01,920 Speaker 1: before I give you my pick here. The market reacted 952 00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:05,560 Speaker 1: to this game as if Pit lost in Week one, 953 00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,799 Speaker 1: because the numbers that were out there two weeks ago 954 00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:11,839 Speaker 1: on the futures market were more along the lines of 955 00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,480 Speaker 1: Tennessee minus four three and a half, four four and 956 00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:16,000 Speaker 1: a half and now it's all the way up to 957 00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:19,399 Speaker 1: a touchdown, and it sounds like Pit lost in week one, Right, 958 00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:21,760 Speaker 1: that's how the market would have reacted had Pit lost 959 00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:25,880 Speaker 1: Pit one. See, that's the thing about odds making. Like 960 00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:29,279 Speaker 1: I told you, you saw that West Virginia game, and 961 00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:32,000 Speaker 1: you saw West Virginia throw a pick right through that 962 00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:35,640 Speaker 1: receiver's hands, pick six. Pit wins, and that's great for 963 00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:38,960 Speaker 1: them in week one. The odds making community looks and says, 964 00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:44,200 Speaker 1: but that's not duplicable like that, that is not something 965 00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:46,239 Speaker 1: that is part of that team that we think is 966 00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:50,120 Speaker 1: likely percentage US to carry over. That's just something that happened. 967 00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:53,120 Speaker 1: That's a balance of ball type thing, and therefore you 968 00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,880 Speaker 1: see the reaction and you see how the market reacted. 969 00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:59,719 Speaker 1: So Tennessee minus seven is what our model says. The 970 00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:03,439 Speaker 1: line is Tennessee minus six and a half. I think 971 00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:06,759 Speaker 1: to myself about how critical balance will be for West 972 00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,640 Speaker 1: for or not. Were Western Jennifer Pitt in this game offensively? 973 00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,399 Speaker 1: I just don't think they're gonna achieve it. And I think, 974 00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:15,759 Speaker 1: unlike last year, they will not be able to trade 975 00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,160 Speaker 1: points enough with Tennessee. And I think this is a 976 00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:20,839 Speaker 1: good barometer, really good measuring stick for both programs. Think 977 00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,120 Speaker 1: it's going to be a very competitive game, but the 978 00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:25,160 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, I think is going to belong to Tennessee. 979 00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:27,759 Speaker 1: I'm taking Tennessee to win, and at that six and 980 00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,160 Speaker 1: a half number, I'll follow the model. I'll take Tennessee 981 00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:34,839 Speaker 1: to cover. They're watching us in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania. They're 982 00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:38,080 Speaker 1: watching us in Pottsville, Arkansas, and they're watching us in 983 00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:42,560 Speaker 1: Deerfield Beach, Florida. Let's continue preview night rolls on here. 984 00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:46,400 Speaker 1: What a game setting up at the swamp. This Saturday, 985 00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:51,120 Speaker 1: Kentucky at Florida. It's a seven o'clock Eastern timekick on ESPN. 986 00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:53,640 Speaker 1: Do you notice how quickly this one kind of popped 987 00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:55,839 Speaker 1: on the national radar. No one thought they were gonna 988 00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:59,000 Speaker 1: be talking about this, and all it took. All it 989 00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:03,640 Speaker 1: took Florida with a little mild home upset over Utah 990 00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:07,600 Speaker 1: and voila. So here we are. Neither team I don't 991 00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,160 Speaker 1: think has been figured out yet. I hadn't figured him out. 992 00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,799 Speaker 1: Fan bases may think they haven't figured out, but this 993 00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:16,040 Speaker 1: is going to go a long way, especially in figuring 994 00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:18,720 Speaker 1: out the SEC East. When we came into the season, 995 00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:24,200 Speaker 1: this matchup looked pivotal for many reasons, but one of 996 00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,640 Speaker 1: them was it was going to kind of determine how 997 00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:30,120 Speaker 1: the SEC Eastern Division shook out and the odds to 998 00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:32,440 Speaker 1: win the East. We talked about it for months. One 999 00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:35,360 Speaker 1: week to be Kentucky, another week could be Tennessee. Florida 1000 00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:38,360 Speaker 1: is now firmly in that mix, and you give yourself 1001 00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:40,400 Speaker 1: a big leg up. You've all got to go through Georgia, 1002 00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:43,600 Speaker 1: but that's down the road. This is going to go 1003 00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,879 Speaker 1: a long way determining the pecking order behind Georgia. For 1004 00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:50,600 Speaker 1: at least favoritism in the East. Everything that worked out 1005 00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,919 Speaker 1: for Florida last week can easily work out for him again. 1006 00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:56,279 Speaker 1: It'd be one thing if you watch that Utah game 1007 00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:57,960 Speaker 1: and there was a lot of stuff that happened that 1008 00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:00,279 Speaker 1: you say, ah, that's good for today, But that's not 1009 00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:03,200 Speaker 1: going to work against Kentucky. Oh, it'll all work against Kentucky. 1010 00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:06,239 Speaker 1: What Anthony Richardson did will work against anyone. Just a 1011 00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:09,440 Speaker 1: nightmare matchup. Just a complete freak of an athlete. A 1012 00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:12,000 Speaker 1: lot of stuff he does. You'll see that one time 1013 00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:14,280 Speaker 1: this year, and that's when you have to play Florida, 1014 00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:16,880 Speaker 1: and then you'll never see it again, Thank goodness for you. 1015 00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:20,600 Speaker 1: The other thing is they can win running the ball. 1016 00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:24,000 Speaker 1: Do that every week they had I think I was 1017 00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:25,799 Speaker 1: looking hold on, let me look at the stat So 1018 00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:27,960 Speaker 1: Jacob Rudner over on Swamp twenty four to seven had 1019 00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:31,200 Speaker 1: a really good find. Only four of their thirty nine 1020 00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:34,800 Speaker 1: runs failed to gain a yard or more. That's for Florida. 1021 00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:37,120 Speaker 1: Florida rand the ball really well the other night. They 1022 00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:40,560 Speaker 1: can leverage home field. Home field played a huge factor 1023 00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:43,080 Speaker 1: in that Utah game. They got another night game at 1024 00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:45,560 Speaker 1: the Swamp. It can be a major factor. It can 1025 00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:48,120 Speaker 1: determine the outcome of the game. And you know what 1026 00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:49,920 Speaker 1: else they can do. I don't like they did with 1027 00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:53,719 Speaker 1: Camerasing the other night. They limited the Utah run and 1028 00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:58,160 Speaker 1: they dared cam Rising to beat them, almost did until 1029 00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:00,440 Speaker 1: the very end, and you made him with the ball 1030 00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:02,960 Speaker 1: in the air enough to where you were able to 1031 00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:04,640 Speaker 1: win the game. Because of that, they can do the 1032 00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:07,600 Speaker 1: same thing with will Levis. And there's reason to believe 1033 00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:09,200 Speaker 1: will Levis is going to have to be the player 1034 00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:12,840 Speaker 1: of this game, that is the Kentucky quarterback for Kentucky 1035 00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:15,880 Speaker 1: to win the game. So you need to pay close attention. 1036 00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:19,680 Speaker 1: Biggest facet of this game that will probably determine it 1037 00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:22,880 Speaker 1: is what am I doing in my face? Oh? Luckily 1038 00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:26,040 Speaker 1: luckily the topic bar covered it. There was some inappropriosity 1039 00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,120 Speaker 1: there with my finger. I was just trying to count. 1040 00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:30,960 Speaker 1: Sometimes I use my sometimes I use my middle finger 1041 00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:34,239 Speaker 1: instead of my index finger to count to one. Never 1042 00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:37,280 Speaker 1: goes well for me. Ever did that at a funeral 1043 00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:42,799 Speaker 1: one time. Never do that again, Florida against the Kentucky run. 1044 00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:44,480 Speaker 1: I want you to think about this for a second. 1045 00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:48,960 Speaker 1: They look last week and they see on the surface 1046 00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:52,640 Speaker 1: a comfortable Kentucky win over Miami of Ohio. You dig 1047 00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:56,040 Speaker 1: a little bit deeper and you realize Kentucky can't run 1048 00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:58,799 Speaker 1: the ball right now. They had a mightily tough time 1049 00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:02,239 Speaker 1: running the ball last week. Chris Rodriguez, at least at 1050 00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:05,680 Speaker 1: last check, their number one tailback is out for this game, 1051 00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:10,239 Speaker 1: still suspended, and that offensive line of Kentucky does not 1052 00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:14,000 Speaker 1: match up particularly well here. So I don't think Kentucky 1053 00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:17,360 Speaker 1: can fill the Chris Rodriguez void. I don't think Florida 1054 00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:19,880 Speaker 1: believes Kentucky can fill that void. If you didn't have 1055 00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:23,240 Speaker 1: success against Miami of Ohio, you won't have any more success. 1056 00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:26,319 Speaker 1: Stands to reason, running the ball against Florida, what does 1057 00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:29,600 Speaker 1: that mean? That means you can still win, but you're 1058 00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:31,920 Speaker 1: gonna have to throw the ball to win. You got 1059 00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:34,720 Speaker 1: that quarterback some people mocked in the first round, Will Levis. 1060 00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:37,840 Speaker 1: We interviewed him at SEC Media Days. Love the dude. 1061 00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:41,440 Speaker 1: This is a tall task for him. A disproportionate amount 1062 00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:43,080 Speaker 1: of this load is going to fall on his shoulders. 1063 00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:46,319 Speaker 1: That's why he's there, That's why transferred to Kentucky, That's 1064 00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:50,760 Speaker 1: why he's starting. Second thing. Pay attention to Kentucky's defensive approach. 1065 00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:54,120 Speaker 1: So they can choose to stack the box. They can 1066 00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:56,359 Speaker 1: choose to look at Anthony Richardson in this Florida run 1067 00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:58,560 Speaker 1: game and say, if they beat us, it's not gonna 1068 00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:01,560 Speaker 1: be that way. We are going to make Richardson throw 1069 00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:04,200 Speaker 1: the ball to beat us. Now, I have full confidence 1070 00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:07,520 Speaker 1: he can do it. How willing is Billy Napier to 1071 00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:09,160 Speaker 1: let him put the ball in the air. We've seen 1072 00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:12,040 Speaker 1: many a time, especially when a quarterback gets a ton 1073 00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:14,400 Speaker 1: of accolades for the first time and you win a 1074 00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:17,840 Speaker 1: big game the following week, those balls just sail a 1075 00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:21,560 Speaker 1: little bit. There are one too many ill advised decisions, 1076 00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:24,680 Speaker 1: and I would not be surprised if that Kentucky coaching 1077 00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:29,239 Speaker 1: staff were in Lexington as we speak, saying, let's see 1078 00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:31,920 Speaker 1: if he'll give that game to us. You know, let's 1079 00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:34,480 Speaker 1: play sound. Let's make him drive the length of the field. 1080 00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:36,920 Speaker 1: Let's take away as much of that run as we can. 1081 00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:38,840 Speaker 1: If we got to dedicate an extra hat to the box, 1082 00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:41,319 Speaker 1: so be it. Let's see what he does. You know, 1083 00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:43,520 Speaker 1: he's a great athlete. If he beats us, he beats us. 1084 00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:45,799 Speaker 1: But let's make him beat us with his arm. Let's 1085 00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:47,640 Speaker 1: see if he'll give us the ball a time or two. 1086 00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:49,640 Speaker 1: So let's take a look at the model things here. 1087 00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:55,120 Speaker 1: The Vegas number right now Florida minus five. And I 1088 00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:57,120 Speaker 1: looked at that one last week and I want to 1089 00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,279 Speaker 1: say three, and I want to say it was around three. 1090 00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:01,359 Speaker 1: So this one's jumped up just a little bit too. 1091 00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:04,879 Speaker 1: If you're interested in such things, moneyline Kentucky plus one 1092 00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:07,160 Speaker 1: point seventy five or one seventy five, not one point 1093 00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:09,400 Speaker 1: seventy five. Those are like the English, the British odds 1094 00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:11,920 Speaker 1: Florida minus two to ten. The model on this one 1095 00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:15,960 Speaker 1: is Florida minus four, so we're a little bit short 1096 00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:20,640 Speaker 1: of the actual Vegas number. However, I was looking at 1097 00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:23,560 Speaker 1: this a little bit deeper today. I think our Kentucky 1098 00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:27,160 Speaker 1: power rating still factors in Rodriguez, and he's not playing, 1099 00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:29,680 Speaker 1: So that's a manual adjustment that I have to make 1100 00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:32,239 Speaker 1: that's really not included in the model number. I gave you. 1101 00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:34,239 Speaker 1: The second thing, and the reason I'm going to take 1102 00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:38,160 Speaker 1: Florida to win and cover this game is they are 1103 00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:42,400 Speaker 1: probably a team that qualifies as being in ascension mode. 1104 00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:44,840 Speaker 1: We say that sometimes about teams. That's just when a 1105 00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:46,880 Speaker 1: team is on the climb, and we really don't have 1106 00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:49,279 Speaker 1: a good grasp of what they're sealing is. And this 1107 00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:52,480 Speaker 1: Florida team this year, they're still pretty healthy, so any 1108 00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:56,359 Speaker 1: depth concern hasn't hit them yet. And secondly, they've got 1109 00:54:56,360 --> 00:55:00,239 Speaker 1: a quarterback that is such an enigma from a point 1110 00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:03,279 Speaker 1: spread perspective. I don't think anyone's properly capped him and 1111 00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:06,560 Speaker 1: valued him. So I think that even though the model 1112 00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:08,960 Speaker 1: says Florida minus four, thinks should be more about six 1113 00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:12,399 Speaker 1: to six and a half. So competitive game, very close game. 1114 00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Florida to win. I'm gonna take Florida 1115 00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:18,400 Speaker 1: to cover. None of the games that I gave you 1116 00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:22,200 Speaker 1: over the past hour or so, however, are in the 1117 00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:25,879 Speaker 1: Roman Noodle Express four pack of picks that I'm gonna 1118 00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:29,279 Speaker 1: give you tonight. Ramanuel Express was not winless in Week one. Guys, 1119 00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:31,879 Speaker 1: you've got to tune into Friday Night Lines. I gave 1120 00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:34,799 Speaker 1: out Kentucky on Friday Night Lines. Now that only made 1121 00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:38,000 Speaker 1: us one three and one in week one. Don't you 1122 00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:42,840 Speaker 1: worry about the Romanudle Express. We're Vengeance is what sponsors 1123 00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:45,640 Speaker 1: the Romanuel Express this week. So the track speeds like 1124 00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:48,080 Speaker 1: sixty were speeding up to about seventy five. This week, 1125 00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:51,920 Speaker 1: I have a total I love, so we're gonna get 1126 00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:55,719 Speaker 1: to it right now. South Carolina is at Arkansas. The 1127 00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:58,080 Speaker 1: total right now is fifty two and a half. I 1128 00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:00,239 Speaker 1: think this game is gonna end up in the sixties. 1129 00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:03,280 Speaker 1: So we're going to take South Carolina at Arkansas over 1130 00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:06,800 Speaker 1: fifty two and a half. There are concerns at corner 1131 00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:10,839 Speaker 1: for Arkansas that I do not think will be alleviated 1132 00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:13,680 Speaker 1: come game time Saturday. I can't put it any more 1133 00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:16,160 Speaker 1: plainly than that. Over fifty two and a half, I 1134 00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:18,400 Speaker 1: think there's going to be scoring on both sides. The 1135 00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:21,960 Speaker 1: next one Hansas, Everyone's big twelve Darling all of a 1136 00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:25,600 Speaker 1: sudden is at West Virginia. West Virginia is laying thirteen. 1137 00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:28,520 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna end up two touchdowns or more. 1138 00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:32,560 Speaker 1: We love West Virginia this week. We also love it 1139 00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:36,000 Speaker 1: at thirteen and a half, So thirteen is widely available 1140 00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:38,279 Speaker 1: right now. If you get thirteen and a half, I 1141 00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:41,399 Speaker 1: like it at thirteen and a half. Two MATC time 1142 00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:45,600 Speaker 1: Eastern Michigan, which is a team that's been surprisingly profitable 1143 00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:47,520 Speaker 1: for us. We always have a really good read on 1144 00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:49,640 Speaker 1: them for some reason we're going to the well again. 1145 00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:53,600 Speaker 1: Eastern Michigan plus ten and a half at ul Lafayette. 1146 00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:56,360 Speaker 1: Love them. I think the model has them losing by six, 1147 00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:59,440 Speaker 1: so we cross three key numbers there. We will gladly 1148 00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:02,600 Speaker 1: take the eagle of Yipslanty by ten and a half 1149 00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:05,840 Speaker 1: or plus ten and a half. And Virginia is on 1150 00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:08,320 Speaker 1: the road at Illinois, and I was looking at the 1151 00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:11,960 Speaker 1: chat earlier and for some reason, everyone watching the show 1152 00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:14,560 Speaker 1: right now apparently loves Illinois. You guys can win all 1153 00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:16,480 Speaker 1: you want to, just keep it a field goal or less. 1154 00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:18,840 Speaker 1: For me, We're gonna take Virginia plus five. Now. We're 1155 00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:21,800 Speaker 1: not done with picks. This is just what we have 1156 00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:25,360 Speaker 1: so far. I cannot stress enough. You have to be 1157 00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:29,160 Speaker 1: following on Instagram at Late Kick Josh very frequently. There 1158 00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:32,120 Speaker 1: will be line moves that I have waited on all week, 1159 00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:35,360 Speaker 1: and I will not hand out final plays until the 1160 00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:39,200 Speaker 1: Friday night Lines Live broadcast, which is just exclusively on 1161 00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:41,360 Speaker 1: Instagram Live. So you gotta be following there. You missed 1162 00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:43,480 Speaker 1: a winner last week if you weren't following there. Virginia 1163 00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:45,959 Speaker 1: plus five Eastern Michigan plus ten and a half, West 1164 00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:49,960 Speaker 1: Virginia minus thirteen and South Carolina, Arkansas over fifty two 1165 00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:52,280 Speaker 1: and a half. Am I gonna do it here? I 1166 00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:54,479 Speaker 1: think I'm gonna do it. Okay, first thing I'm gonna 1167 00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:57,600 Speaker 1: do is straighten my mic again. I gotta get that 1168 00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:00,320 Speaker 1: Joel Clap. Mike Clatt started a new podcast, and then 1169 00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:02,080 Speaker 1: he went back and forth with us on Twitter last night. 1170 00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:05,960 Speaker 1: He's got the kind of mic that I want. That's 1171 00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:09,040 Speaker 1: all I'm gonna say at management, at management right now, 1172 00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:11,800 Speaker 1: that's to you, not to the audience. I'm going to 1173 00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:14,000 Speaker 1: look at the live chat. I'm gonna give you guys 1174 00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:16,840 Speaker 1: about two minutes here. If there's anything that you just 1175 00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:19,400 Speaker 1: you need to get off your chest, if there's anything 1176 00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:21,480 Speaker 1: that you want said, if there's anything you want me 1177 00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:24,920 Speaker 1: to touch on, I pray that it's not about playoff expansion. 1178 00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:28,280 Speaker 1: I'm not wasting two seconds of this show talking about 1179 00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:31,520 Speaker 1: playoff expansion unless you want it brought up. So I'm 1180 00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:33,160 Speaker 1: looking at the live chat here. I know there's like 1181 00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:35,360 Speaker 1: a fifteen second delay. So I'm giving you guys some time. 1182 00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:40,440 Speaker 1: We don't normally do this. See Brandon Walker is horse 1183 00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:45,400 Speaker 1: and Brandon Walker just overall is a cesspool of garbage. 1184 00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:47,680 Speaker 1: Takes but one thing he does on his show that 1185 00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:50,920 Speaker 1: I think we need to steal. We've given him plenty 1186 00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:53,320 Speaker 1: over the years, trust me, is he does acknowledge the 1187 00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:54,760 Speaker 1: live chat. So I'm going to look at the live 1188 00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:59,560 Speaker 1: chat here. Iowa State versus Iowa is a question, for example, 1189 00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:01,000 Speaker 1: that I was not going to bring up on the 1190 00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:03,880 Speaker 1: show tonight. Iowa State is a three and a half 1191 00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:09,480 Speaker 1: point dog in Iowa City Saturday. And I know you 1192 00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:14,480 Speaker 1: like I saw Iowa play a football game Saturday in 1193 00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:17,680 Speaker 1: which they scored seven points but their defense outscored their offense. 1194 00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:21,000 Speaker 1: I'll let you figure out how that happened against the 1195 00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:24,440 Speaker 1: mighty jack Rabbits of South Dakota State, no less. And 1196 00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:28,280 Speaker 1: yet there's this sinking feeling in me, as a born 1197 00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:32,040 Speaker 1: and bred Iowa State fan full bias, there is a 1198 00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:36,440 Speaker 1: sinking feeling in me that, even having seen that, something 1199 00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:39,479 Speaker 1: terrible is gonna happen Saturday that ends up giving Iowa 1200 00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:43,360 Speaker 1: State this game or Iowa this game? Now, am I hopeful? Certainly? 1201 00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:46,160 Speaker 1: I am? Do I think Iowa State has the better team? Well, 1202 00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:49,440 Speaker 1: the model doesn't. But then again, I can speak differently 1203 00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:52,600 Speaker 1: because this is not a game breakdown. So yeah, you 1204 00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:54,600 Speaker 1: know how I think about them at quarterback. You know 1205 00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:56,440 Speaker 1: in the aggregate, how I think about Iowa State at 1206 00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:58,360 Speaker 1: running back, or if you don't, I like them in 1207 00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:02,280 Speaker 1: both positions. Last year, we were at this game and 1208 01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:04,000 Speaker 1: all I would did was sit there and wait for 1209 01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:05,400 Speaker 1: Iowa State to hand him the game. And you know 1210 01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:09,400 Speaker 1: what Iowa State did handed him the game. Turnover turnover, turnover, turnover. 1211 01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:11,840 Speaker 1: No reason to think Saturday is going to be any different. 1212 01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:15,520 Speaker 1: I just whatever the over under is, I don't know, 1213 01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:18,360 Speaker 1: it's probably too high. I don't have any money on it. 1214 01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:20,160 Speaker 1: We will not have any action on it. I will 1215 01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:23,720 Speaker 1: just watch innocently along with the rest of you. Spencer Rattler, 1216 01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:25,760 Speaker 1: boom or bust, well, Nick, I don't know he's played 1217 01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:27,640 Speaker 1: one game. I don't think he had a whole heck 1218 01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:29,600 Speaker 1: of a lot of protection the other night. That's why 1219 01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:34,280 Speaker 1: when they go to Arkansas South Carolina this Saturday, I 1220 01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:36,960 Speaker 1: really think that the past game will be improved. That'll 1221 01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:39,440 Speaker 1: partly be because they just razor sharp focus on it 1222 01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:41,840 Speaker 1: this week, and the other is think Arkansas is a 1223 01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:44,560 Speaker 1: little susceptible at defensive back right now. You haven't seen 1224 01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:46,960 Speaker 1: the best of Spencer Ratler yet this year. Just this 1225 01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:50,800 Speaker 1: is college football, no preseason, there is no preseason game. 1226 01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:53,120 Speaker 1: Just give them a little time. It was Georgia State 1227 01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:56,040 Speaker 1: after all. This live chat's going a little too quickly 1228 01:00:56,200 --> 01:01:01,680 Speaker 1: for me to even read. Really quick. Hey Van, Nashville's 1229 01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:04,760 Speaker 1: team Bandy. They are at home Saturday against wake I 1230 01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:07,040 Speaker 1: think that game is at Vandy. The line jumped all 1231 01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:08,640 Speaker 1: the way to thirteen and a half today because it 1232 01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:11,440 Speaker 1: was announced that Hartman's going to play for wake Forest. 1233 01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:15,040 Speaker 1: So good luck to our guys over here, good luck 1234 01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:21,439 Speaker 1: to our commodoes. Oh boy, this is tough. The other 1235 01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:23,440 Speaker 1: thing that's being asked about right now is the Auburn 1236 01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:25,760 Speaker 1: two quarterback system. I don't know what they're going to 1237 01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:30,640 Speaker 1: go with. I think that right now they're still in 1238 01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:33,480 Speaker 1: a mode. I'm fully convinced of this. I am convinced 1239 01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:37,600 Speaker 1: Auburn as a coaching staff brought Calzada in with the 1240 01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:41,640 Speaker 1: express desire for him to win the job. You can't 1241 01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:43,480 Speaker 1: hand to guy the job. He's got to win it, 1242 01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:46,120 Speaker 1: and he flat out didn't win it. And so TJ. 1243 01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:49,120 Speaker 1: Finley is the guy there now. And they've got Ashford 1244 01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:51,400 Speaker 1: over there too, And I know you've seen him some 1245 01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:53,920 Speaker 1: and you think someone told me they think he's got 1246 01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:55,680 Speaker 1: a little stets in Bennett and him. By the way, 1247 01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:59,520 Speaker 1: how this conference down here in the SEC turns stats 1248 01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:01,400 Speaker 1: and Bennett. It used to just be a pejorative. He 1249 01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:05,000 Speaker 1: wasn't even a person. It's just your stetson. You know. 1250 01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:07,400 Speaker 1: That was a guy who's not good enough, you doesn't 1251 01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:09,400 Speaker 1: measure up, And all of a sudden, he's a national champion. 1252 01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:13,320 Speaker 1: Now your hopes for your quarterbacks are maybe they got 1253 01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:15,600 Speaker 1: a little stetson in him. Well, I don't know if 1254 01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:19,040 Speaker 1: Robbie Ashford has stetson in him, I would not be surprised, though, 1255 01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:21,600 Speaker 1: if you end up seeing multiple quarterbacks play for Auburn, 1256 01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:24,080 Speaker 1: I would not be surprised at that. So yeah, that's 1257 01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:27,800 Speaker 1: that's what the chat's saying. Baylor and Brigham Young. That's 1258 01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:30,080 Speaker 1: a game that we're not breaking down on the show 1259 01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:32,960 Speaker 1: tonight because I just didn't have time, even though I've 1260 01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:34,640 Speaker 1: got time to look at the live chat. So maybe 1261 01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:37,920 Speaker 1: that's just made up. We have got I think a 1262 01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:39,920 Speaker 1: point spread of Baylor plus three and a half. So 1263 01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:43,160 Speaker 1: Brigham Young's favored out there. The model, I can tell 1264 01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:46,240 Speaker 1: you slightly leans Baylor. I think at about a fifty 1265 01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:49,440 Speaker 1: three percent cover probability. It thinks it's a one point game. 1266 01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:52,080 Speaker 1: I think it's got Brigham Young winning by one, so 1267 01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:55,600 Speaker 1: Razor type game. It could be sneakily the best game 1268 01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:58,480 Speaker 1: of Saturday. I think Tennessee Pitt could be that. I 1269 01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:02,200 Speaker 1: think Brigham Young hosting, think Baylor could be that. We're 1270 01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:05,040 Speaker 1: going to be in Austin for Bama Texas. A lot 1271 01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:07,000 Speaker 1: of you have called me a hypocrite for taking the 1272 01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:09,800 Speaker 1: every given Saturday tour to Austin because I claim to 1273 01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:12,080 Speaker 1: not want to see blowouts. Yet I myself predicted a 1274 01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:15,520 Speaker 1: blowout earlier tonight. But what you don't remember is that's 1275 01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:17,560 Speaker 1: only one of the bits of criteria. We want to 1276 01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:20,280 Speaker 1: get to new venues. We've never seen a game in Austin, 1277 01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:22,960 Speaker 1: we've never taken the tour there. We want to see 1278 01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:25,200 Speaker 1: teams as much as possible. I don't know that I'll 1279 01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:28,200 Speaker 1: be able to see Texas again this year, so you 1280 01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:32,280 Speaker 1: know those are excuses. And I'm fully prepared to have 1281 01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:34,479 Speaker 1: nail bider games all over the place and I'm watching 1282 01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:37,640 Speaker 1: a blowout. I know that's a possibility. Saturday A and 1283 01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:41,080 Speaker 1: M minus seventeen, Kyle, I'd stay away from it. Buddy, 1284 01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:44,400 Speaker 1: they play app State Saturday. I want you to think 1285 01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:46,720 Speaker 1: about this. Let's just talk this through for a second. 1286 01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:50,600 Speaker 1: A and M is at home against app State. They're 1287 01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:55,040 Speaker 1: favored by seventeen. BAMA is favored by more as a 1288 01:03:55,240 --> 01:03:58,320 Speaker 1: road team at Texas than A and M is favored 1289 01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:02,520 Speaker 1: at home against app State. I don't know what kind 1290 01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:04,640 Speaker 1: of transitive property nonsense you guys want to try and 1291 01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:07,080 Speaker 1: pull with that, but that's pretty interesting to talk about. 1292 01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:10,240 Speaker 1: Where am I going before the Texas game, Charlie, I 1293 01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:14,720 Speaker 1: will probably just text Scott Stanley to you and I 1294 01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:17,000 Speaker 1: and I will probably just ask him where to go. 1295 01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:20,160 Speaker 1: Hummer lives out there. I will probably just ask them 1296 01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:22,000 Speaker 1: where to go. So my answer is I don't know yet. 1297 01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:23,760 Speaker 1: It's an early kick. We got to be in the 1298 01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:26,360 Speaker 1: stadium like three hours before for some live hits, so 1299 01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:30,720 Speaker 1: I don't know talk about Oklahoma State. Hey, I don't 1300 01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:33,080 Speaker 1: have much to say about the team. Mike Gundhy, I'm 1301 01:04:33,120 --> 01:04:36,040 Speaker 1: convinced watches this show because Mike Gundhy went on an 1302 01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:40,880 Speaker 1: impassioned anti playoff expansion rant that I think should basically 1303 01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:44,840 Speaker 1: be printed on stone and put outside every college football venue, 1304 01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:49,040 Speaker 1: including the college Football Playoff in Grapevine, Texas wherever they meet, 1305 01:04:49,640 --> 01:04:52,800 Speaker 1: and he essentially just I think he took a transcript 1306 01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:55,800 Speaker 1: of the show, memorized it, and then recited it.
