Speaker 1: well does it? Is there any no bid shady contract

59
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: involved with Maybe?

60
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 2: Absolutely can't take it out of the table.

61
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: So true.

62
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,560

Speaker 3: to sign up before kickoff on September the fourth, Otherwise

71
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 3: it's no bueno. Otherwise we just assume that, yes, you

72
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 3: don't want to be part of the board. Maybe you

73
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 3: don't want to be that's fine, nothing wrong.

74
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: To be more specific, time, be more specific because we

75
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: have a lot of games to talk about. But that's

76
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: eleven fifty nine am Eastern, so that's ten fifty nine

77
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: am Central time, nine to fifty nine am Mountain time,

78
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: and eight fifty fifty nine am Pacific time. And if

79
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: my math serves five point fifty nine am Hawaiian time

80
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: away time. Yeah, correct, Okay, just making sure. I can't wait.

81
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: It's going to be a blast. So yeah, playroundboard dot Com,

82
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: get in on it, because man, I love a good

83
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: challenge all year long with this pick them.

84
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, we of course are here today because I'm back.

85
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 2: Bye bye college Football's back. It's back, Dan. Can you

86
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 2: believe it?

87
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: Yeah? I can. What I can't believe because you know,

88
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: we just keep rotating around the sun every year at

89
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: the same pace. What I can't believe is that this

90
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: is the first season in thirteen years that you are

91
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: going to be unencumbered by responsibilities attached to the mysterious

92
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: day job. So I anticipate you either being way worse

93
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: at picking games. Wait, way better at picking games. But

94
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: I expect you to perform with an energy that like,

95
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: what are you obsessed with dark matter? Like we haven't

96
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: fully tapped into the potential of the dark matter involved

97
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,119
Speaker 1: with a fully unchained Ty hilden Brand.

98
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 3: I am here, I am excited. I am loving every

99
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 3: minute of it. And this, of course is the Week

100
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 3: one show. We did have a couple new quarterbacks who

101
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 3: were announced zeb Nolan Welcome back, Baby, zeb Nolan just

102
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 3: a graduate assistant a couple of weeks ago for South Carolina,

103
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,559
Speaker 3: but Luke Dody went down with the foot injury, meaning

104
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 3: that they were kind of scrambling. Shane Biember was looking

105
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 3: for a new guy. Zeb Nolan formerly a Viawa State.

106
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 3: He is your quarterback.

107
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: Via Aimes via Fargo North Dakota as well. He was

108
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: Trey Lance's backup last year and presumably a GA in

109
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: Columbia now starting at least we'll see how long. I

110
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: don't know.

111
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 3: We have Tanner Mordecai. We have Hudson Card who I

112
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 3: think we talked about. We have Joe Milton at Tennessee,

113
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 3: Jack Plummer recently announced at Purdue. Some of these names

114
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 3: starting to trickle in. I saw Sam Noyer, by the way,

115
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 3: at Oregon State. So that's the quarterback taking on Jack

116
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,679
Speaker 3: Plumber at Purdue this week. I don't know the last time,

117
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 3: and maybe you can correct me. Maybe a verballer can

118
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 3: weigh in here. When was the last time a quarterback

119
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 3: started for two conference teams in consecutive years? In Colorado

120
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 3: last year, Oregon State this year. I mean, he's well

121
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 3: liked obviously as talent, but that seems unusual.

122
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 2: Shall we get into it?

123
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: What's Dan time the week?

124
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 2: I've got my arms in the air because I just

125
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 2: don't care.

126
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: Dan. I'm sipping from my soliburbal mug. It's gigantic and

127
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: luxurious Week one.

128
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 3: Welcome back college football. We've got a loaded slate of

129
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 3: games that we are going to go through today, but

130
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 3: we're going to.

131
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 2: Start Saturday at High newd on Fox.

132
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:48,119
Speaker 3: Dan, my beloved Penn State Nitney Lyons on the road,

133
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 3: a five and one half point underdog against the Wisconsin Badgers.

134
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 2: Dan, So you're going.

135
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: Just chronological here. This is not the biggest game of

136
00:06:59,320 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: the weekend.

137
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 3: Yes, you're right, not the biggest game of the weekend,

138
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 3: which we will let a good get very good game.

139
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 3: Interestingly enough, our friend Phil Steele been on the show.

140
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 3: We talked about his preview mag a bunch of times

141
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 3: here in the run up to the twenty twenty one season.

142
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 3: He says that home field advantage at Camp Randall Stadium

143
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 3: is worth precisely five point two five points. Okay, so

144
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 3: if you believe it, that pretty much negates the point

145
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 3: spread here, pretty much negates it. It would be about an

146
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 3: even contest. Do I feel like this is an even matchup?

147
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 2: I think so? How do you feel?

148
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think it's relatively even. I'm more confident in

149
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: these defenses than I am these offenses. Not because I

150
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: don't like the coordinators or the quarterbacks, though there is

151
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: some element of these quarterbacks that I'm not crazy about.

152
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: But there's right. It's it's guys who missed a bunch

153
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: of time at receiver last year for Wisconsin. A new

154
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: starting running back in Chez, I don't think he even

155
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: needs just hold on, wait, Chez, Chez, Chez. Now it's

156
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: transfer Chez. I think, Malucy, how do we want to

157
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: handle this?

158
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 3: Because we did the Charlie to Chez conversion two years

159
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 3: ago and I think we're sticking with that. But Chez

160
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 3: feels like a variant of Chez.

161
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: It is a variant which is a loaded word right now, true,

162
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: but the name Chez is too excellent and too important

163
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: for us to just immediately decide on a nickname or

164
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: a name for him. In general, we just have to

165
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 1: go with Chez, sort of like Chare, which I think

166
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: they shares three of the four letters anyway, so just Chez.

167
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: If something occurs to us in terms of a nickname

168
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: with Chez, we will go there. But bigger picture wise,

169
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: I think I trust these defenses more than the offenses,

170
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: and with the spread being what it is and there

171
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: are I think I like this surrounding talent around Sean

172
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: Clifford at Penn State more in terms of offensive skill,

173
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: Like they seem to be secretly kind of deep at

174
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: running back right with Cavan Lee and Noah Kane and

175
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: John Lovett the Baylor transfer, and then Johan Dotson, who

176
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: I mean, is he one of the best five receivers

177
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: in the country. Probably an easy case for it, and

178
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: then the emergence of Parker Washington can't lose last year.

179
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: I'm pretty big on what Penn State could do offensively.

180
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: If Sean Clifford looks like a more comfortable, confident version

181
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: of himself. So I'm going to go with Penn State

182
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: and the points here. I just you know, taking points

183
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: gives you two out of the three outcomes, and with

184
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: the Wisconsin defense as good as it is, with the

185
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: Penn State defense as promising it is as it is,

186
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 1: I'm going for something close and relatively low scoring. So

187
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take those points.

188
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I agree with you, Dan. I think

189
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 3: I like Penn State's offense a little bit better. I

190
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 3: think I like Wisconsin's defense a little bit better. All

191
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 3: in all, feels about a coin flip. My hesitation with

192
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 3: Penn State is that I really like their offensive skill talent,

193
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 3: which you just listed, but I don't know if they're

194
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 3: going to be organized enough in week one, big road spot,

195
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 3: huge installing a new system under Mike Yersich. I'm also

196
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 3: not sure about their defensive front. Remember that was one

197
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 3: of the questions we had lost some big pieces. Yeah,

198
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 3: going into the season against a team in Wisconsin that

199
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 3: presumably is going to want to use that chez however

200
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 3: they can.

201
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, a sort of new look, reshuffled offensive line for

202
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: Wisconsin on their part, So there is some question marks

203
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,599
Speaker 1: on both sides. When Wisconsin has the ball up front.

204
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 3: If they can run, I would assume that that would

205
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 3: be a bit of a matchup advantage for them, but

206
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 3: again that's kind of an unknown. I'm thinking this comes

207
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 3: down to, like a rock fight, it's twenty eight to

208
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 3: twenty four, somebody wins. I'll take the points happily five

209
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 3: and a half. It was lower before, but it's gone

210
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 3: up now since some of the money has come in

211
00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 3: on Wisconsin. I like Wisconsin outright twenty eight twenty four,

212
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 3: but definitely Penn State with the points.

213
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: That's higher scoring than I see. I have it as

214
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: like twenty one, twenty twenty three, nineteen somewhere in there. Yeah,

215
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: but we do agree. Moving on, and to be clear,

216
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: we're not skipping Thursday and Friday were to be clear,

217
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: we're getting there.

218
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:20,239
Speaker 3: Saturday, three point thirty on ABC, We've got Alabama minus

219
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:26,439
Speaker 3: eighteen and a half neutral cider against the Miami Hurricanes.

220
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 3: They play this one in Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

221
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 3: This is, of course, as we all remember, the first

222
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 3: time these teams have met since nineteen ninety three. That's

223
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 3: when Alabama upset Miami and stole the national Championship.

224
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: Dan, yep, I'm saying that, Yeah, nineteen points right now?

225
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: Whoof up to nineteen and a half at some some

226
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: of the bucks. So many points.

227
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 3: Bama has won its last ten neutral site openers by

228
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 3: an average of twenty five points per game. And I

229
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 3: feel like we fall into this trap every year where

230
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 3: look at the point spread and it's like, ahho, that's

231
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 3: a little too rich for my blood, a little too much.

232
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 3: And then they go out and they beat USC fifty

233
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 3: two to six or something like that.

234
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: Specifically with the acc which is not fair to compare

235
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: Miami against everybody, but like Duke and Florida State when

236
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: Florida State lost DeAndre Francois early on, like they've other

237
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: than they've they've matched up pretty well with some teams

238
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: in this game those neutral site openers, but usually it's

239
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: comfortable double digit ws.

240
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 3: I do wonder if this year is going to be

241
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 3: a little bit different for Alabama. As you know, Travis May,

242
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 3: who writes for our site writes the Sneaky Stats column

243
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 3: every Monday, says the number is seventy three, the number

244
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 3: of touchdowns that were scored last season by Alabama offensive

245
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 3: players who are now in the NFL. It's a lot

246
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 3: to lose seventy three on paper, you could use that,

247
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 3: you can make a compelling case for Miami.

248
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna do it. What the hell, why not?

249
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 2: Let's get nuts.

250
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take the points. I'm gonna white knuckle this

251
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 3: thing the whole way through, right up until we get

252
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 3: that back door cover with Manny Diaz kicking a late

253
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 3: field goal for no good reason. I am a hopeless

254
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 3: romantic dan. I believe in the magic of Deareric King

255
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 3: in his fifteenth years a college quarterback.

256
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, coming off a bad injury.

257
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 3: Coming off bad injury, so much is back for this

258
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 3: Cane squad. Manny Diaz now call in plays for the defense.

259
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 3: They are not going to win this game, to be clear,

260
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 3: They're not going to just win this game. But can

261
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 3: they lose this game thirty eight to twenty four? Could

262
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 3: it be one of those games where they're down twenty

263
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 3: eight to seven and a half, but could they come

264
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 3: back in the second Yes, the answer yes, I will

265
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 3: take Miami plus the eighteen and a half, And like

266
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 3: I said, I'm just gonna hold on for dear life

267
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 3: and hope that it doesn't come back to bite me.

268
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not taking I actually like the under more

269
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,719
Speaker 1: than either of these teams. Again, the spread, which is

270
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: about sixty one. I see it as sort of a

271
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: thirty eight seventeen type game, which I know covers as well.

272
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: But I'm not wild about a recovering Dearic King. And

273
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: this is a Miami offense that struggled at times to

274
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: keep the chains moving, gave up way too many points

275
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: to the bigger and better teams that they played last year.

276
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: There's talent on this defense, but they didn't always connect

277
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: that talent to stops on the field. And you look

278
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: at giving up forty plus to NC State and forty

279
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: two to Clemson and what they gave up to North

280
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: Carolina late in the season. Even with the changes at Alabama,

281
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: it's just not a spot, right, It's just who are

282
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: you going to trust with this much preparation. And I

283
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: know there's Bill O'Brien steps in his offensive coordinator and

284
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: Bryce Young at quarterback, and it's a new group of

285
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: receivers outside of John Mitchi, but in terms of the

286
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: superstar potential, there's just a lot of unknown there. So

287
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: it's very easy to say the train keeps on chugging

288
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: for this Alabama offense with a new coordinator and all

289
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: sorts of new pieces and still a really good offensive line.

290
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: But I'm still going to say that talent level of

291
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: Miami keeps this relatively interesting. Even if this was not

292
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: an especially consistent Miami team last year. I think it's

293
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: going to be improved Miami team with the experience that

294
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: they bring back. So my play is the under. If

295
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: you're going to force me to pick a team against

296
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: the spread, it's just it's going to be Alabama by

297
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: three touchdowns eventually. There's just that inevitability to Alabama football

298
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: that I just trust more when we have no data

299
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: on this year's squads.

300
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 2: So you're saying a cover in spirit only for the

301
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 2: Miami Hurricanes.

302
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think Miami can cover this to

303
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: the under point. I think they can hold Alabama under

304
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: forty points. But I just I don't see where the

305
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: pop is coming from, specifically against this Alabama defense. I

306
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: see where it's going to come against acc defenses. But

307
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: I think it's just it's going to be too much

308
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: that there. There's too much intriguing experience and talent upfront

309
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: for Alabama, and this was a Miami team that really

310
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: couldn't run the ball consistently. Last year. They pop some

311
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: big plays, but they did the sort of generating medium

312
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: plays when it counts to drive down the field. I'm

313
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: not there with Miami against Alabama.

314
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 2: Well, you're not alone.

315
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 3: Seventy seven percent of the money at least as of yesterday,

316
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 3: is also on the Crimson Tide.

317
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 2: We'll move on.

318
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 3: Let's go to the Duke's Mayo Classic. Dan, Saturday Night,

319
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 3: seven point thirty ABC.

320
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 2: This is the bigin. This is the bigin.

321
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 3: Georgia Bulldogs three and a half point dog against the

322
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 3: Clemson Tigers. This is the biggest game on each of

323
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 3: their schedules. They're playing it at Bank of America Stadium

324
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 3: in Charlotte. One of the things that I just got

325
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 3: to get off my chest here. All too often, Dan,

326
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 3: I'll make a comment on an episode, now just discard it.

327
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 3: And that's mostly because I have the memory of a goldfish.

328
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 3: To use a ted Lasso reference of my own, obviously,

329
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 3: But it's just hard to put your neck out there

330
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 3: sometimes because it takes gumptionon it takes khonus. But I'm

331
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 3: on the record with Georgia. I'm very bullish on Georgia

332
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 3: this year. I've got them winning the SEC. I've got

333
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 3: them going to the playoffs. So when we come to

334
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 3: a point in time like this, I could either hedge

335
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 3: and say, ah, they could lose, they could still get

336
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 3: all that stuff. At this game, it's important to just

337
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 3: not get blown out. Or I could finally put on

338
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 3: the big boy pants Dan and.

339
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 2: I could lock it up. Wow, let's go. I like

340
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 2: the dogs here. I like them outright.

341
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 3: I have had my Georgia outright bet logged into the

342
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 3: actual real betting system for about a month now. I

343
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 3: believe in JT. Daniels at quarterback. I think he's the

344
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 3: better quarterback in this game. I think george is better

345
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 3: on offense at every position, maybe outside a wide receiver.

346
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 3: I love their front seven. If Clemson's got the best

347
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 3: defensive line in.

348
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 2: The country, George's two. So I love this team. I

349
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 2: love this defense.

350
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 3: The main question is whether Georgia can stop the pass,

351
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 3: which I'm sure you're going to get into. But I

352
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 3: am all in on Georgia, not just in this game,

353
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 3: but really all season long. So give me the dogs

354
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 3: out right, let's lock it up.

355
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: I've been leaning Georgia for quite some time, and now

356
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: I like Clemson because of me, No, not because of you,

357
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: because I just I sat and I meditated on these

358
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: games yesterday and just tried to visualize what is the

359
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 1: most realistic thing that can happen in my brain and

360
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: what I value going into a year in which, again

361
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: we do not have data points. It's week one, so

362
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,479
Speaker 1: it's a matter of sort of at this point blind

363
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: trust that teams are going to grow on a realistic level,

364
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: or that quarterbacks, what we've seen from quarterbacks is what

365
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 1: we're going to get from quarterbacks in week one, which

366
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: is almost never the case. You know, guys, especially when

367
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,679
Speaker 1: you're playing an opponent of you know, these teams calibers,

368
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: does that a word? Calibers of these teams caliber? That

369
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 1: it's going to be an exercise on preparation, not shooting

370
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: yourself in the foot, you know, Continuing keeping drives smart

371
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 1: play calling, Like it's just it's you're reaching into thin

372
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: air in a little bit, You're you're reaching into the

373
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: ether when you have two teams as closely matched as

374
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: these two. What I trust here is Clemson and the

375
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: Clemson staff, which has had tremendous continuity and Dabosweeney Obviously,

376
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: there's a track record in these games. There's a track

377
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 1: record of preparation and finding a way to pull out

378
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: these games or to even win these games comfortably. Kirby

379
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: Smart's best wins right now are what those Notre Dame games,

380
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: one of those Florida wins maybe, and the double overtime

381
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: win against Oklahoma. Right, Okay, they're just in terms of

382
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: getting everybody on the same page. JT. Daniel's best win,

383
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 1: either as a college quarterback or as a Georgia quarterback

384
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: is Cincinnati in the bowl game.

385
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, yeah, go ahead, continue.

386
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: No, I'm just I'm asking. I don't know if I'm wrong.

387
00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if you consider the Mississippi State game,

388
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: the Mazoo whatever it is. JT. Daniels is very very good.

389
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 1: I just think organizationally right now in terms of preparing

390
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: for a game with very little to go on, and

391
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: with Georgia's specific injuries, you know George Pickens and you

392
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: know the short they're short of tight end, like they're

393
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 1: just issues. I think I trust this Clemson staff getting

394
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: DJ you ready to win this game on a neutral

395
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: field because of this track record. I know. Pass catching

396
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 1: is also sort of up in the air, justin Ross

397
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: coming back from injury, But who are the other guys

398
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: that step up as well? No, Travis etn home runs

399
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 1: to lean on and gravity to uh to take advantage of.

400
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: I get all of that, but in a toss up situation,

401
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: a three point game on a neutral field, my tie

402
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: is going to the guy and the staff that has

403
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 1: proven that they can pull out a game like this.

404
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 1: So I'm going Clemson to win by a touchdown.

405
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 3: I'm a little disappointed with all this staff talk that

406
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 3: you didn't pluralize it and go stas Staves.

407
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: Everybody knows the plural of staff is Staves, sta l vees.

408
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 1: Don't look it up.

409
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 3: I think everything that you said is accurate. And I

410
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 3: have the same questions about Georgia. I mean, that's what

411
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 3: we have to go on in Week one track record, right,

412
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 3: They're so freaking loaded. They're so freaking loaded totally. Last year,

413
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 3: one of the things that they were very good at

414
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 3: was getting pressure without blitzing, and I think that could

415
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 3: really be a useful tool in this game against DJU

416
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 3: because one of the things Clempson wants to improve upon

417
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 3: is taking some of those deep shots.

418
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 2: They didn't take enough.

419
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,719
Speaker 3: Last year, even with the best quarterback perhaps in program history,

420
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,479
Speaker 3: they didn't have that guy who could just go up

421
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 3: and get it whin the jump balls. I think they're

422
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 3: trying to develop that guy this year, whether it's Justin

423
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 3: Ross or Joseph Nagata, like they.

424
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 2: Want to do more of that.

425
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and given the fact that the real question mark,

426
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 3: if there is one on the Georgia defense is that secondary,

427
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 3: I would expect that we're going to see it. But

428
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,959
Speaker 3: if Georgia can generate that pressure while playing coverage, especially

429
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 3: against a not a new quarterback and dju but you

430
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 3: could argue this is the biggest game he's ever played in. Oh,

431
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 3: of course, it's a big spot for him. I think

432
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,239
Speaker 3: that could definitely work to George's advantage, and that's why

433
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 3: I like him outright for what it's worth.

434
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 2: By the way, a little bit more.

435
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 3: Money coming in on Clemson than the George Bulldogs at

436
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 3: least a time of recording. Obviously that could change. But

437
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,239
Speaker 3: it feels like everybody is looking at this one as

438
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 3: if it's a bit of a coin flip. It's gonna

439
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 3: be a good game. There's a reason it's the best

440
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 3: game of the weekend.

441
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: Can I give you another slight margin that it appeals

442
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: to me emotionally with this matchup, and it's because I've

443
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 1: been hurt before, Ty, I have been hurt before, like

444
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: we all have been. The two biggest Oregon games of

445
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: the past decade involved the Ducks losing to giant mobile

446
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 1: quarterbacks who when you think they are tied up, when

447
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: you think you have them, when you think they're sacked

448
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: on third and three, they manage to spin out of

449
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 1: something and lunge forward and secure a first down. Which

450
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: one of these quarterback is more capable in this tight

451
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:06,199
Speaker 1: knit game of doing that. It's Dju. So that is

452
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 1: why when I see this as sort of a tie,

453
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 1: I think to myself, Man, Georgia has Clemson's receivers locked

454
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: up on third and five. DJU is suddenly rolling out

455
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: and has the angle.

456
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 2: Though.

457
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: To me, that's kind of a difference maker, And that

458
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 1: was a difference maker with the Shaun Watson, a difference

459
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: maker with Trevor Lawrence, and that just appeals to me

460
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: emotionally because of the pain I've suffered Cardale Jones and

461
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 1: Cam Newton.

462
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 3: Rough Yeah, I mean, DJU is not as mobile as

463
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 3: those guys, but your point stance.

464
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: He's more mobile than JD Daniel sweat.

465
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 2: He's more mobile than Jddan.

466
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: He's more likely to turn third and fives to an

467
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: angle to get that first down at the forty seven.

468
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 2: Fair enough, fair enough, So we disagree, Dan, we disagree.

469
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 1: We just agree.

470
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 3: Move on to another headliner. This one's Saturday eight thirty

471
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 3: on Fox. This game, Dan gave me fits talk about

472
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 3: meditating over a game result. LSU a three and a

473
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 3: half point favorite on the road at UCLA. This is

474
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 3: if I've ever seen one one of those Vegas Knows

475
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 3: Something games, You know what I mean, where you look

476
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 3: at the point spread and you wonder, is this a misprint?

477
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 2: Is it really this slow?

478
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 3: The Sharps have been on Ucla for a while now,

479
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 3: but it's now kind of like a double road spot.

480
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 3: To layer on some additional complexity for LSU. They had

481
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 3: to flee Hurricane Ida, I think on Sunday at some point.

482
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: It's now, by the way, thankfully, just a tropical storm.

483
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 1: I saw the downgrade, so hopefully that is a bit

484
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 1: of a respite for our pals down there.

485
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, a terrible situation having to leave home,

486
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 3: whether you're a football player or not, like just really

487
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 3: scary stuff of a major hurricane coming right at you.

488
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 3: We hope everyone's okay. LSU left, the football team left,

489
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 3: they went over to Houston to do some of their practicing,

490
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 3: and now they're going to head on over to the

491
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 3: West coast. I'm very hesitant here. I had the dog

492
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 3: pick this game because I didn't know which way to go. Yeah,

493
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 3: I posted that video. I'll post it publicly, but I

494
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 3: posted it a few hours ago to our super secret

495
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 3: verbal or discord, which you can get if you're a

496
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 3: Patreon subscriber. Wink week nudge, nudge.

497
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 2: I think LSU is going to be a lot better

498
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 2: than last season.

499
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 3: I think they have to be. And we're both fans

500
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 3: of Max Johnson. We both both think he's got some juice.

501
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 3: I'm in the message.

502
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: I always root for lefty. I'm not left to what.

503
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 1: I always appreciate the difference and aesthetics of a good

504
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: lefty quarterback.

505
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and in general, I think if you're putting a

506
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 3: better SEC team up against pretty much anybody in the

507
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 3: packed well, no disrespect to Oregon or USC, more often

508
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 3: than not, I'm going the SEC team.

509
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 2: I'm just going to do it.

510
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: Okay.

511
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,719
Speaker 3: My issue here and why I really struggled with this

512
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 3: one is because UCLA is going to have a dynamic

513
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 3: rushing attack with Dorian Thompson Robinson and Zach Sharbonay and

514
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 3: Britton Brown. And last season ls was really bad against

515
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 3: the run. Yeah, really bad against the run. I'd be

516
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 3: willing to take LSU if not for that simple fact.

517
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 3: And then because it seems like the pro betters are

518
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 3: on Ucla. It seems like most of the public money

519
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 3: is on UCLA. I'm looking at this line and I'm

520
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,719
Speaker 3: just thinking, what am I missing here? You have been

521
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 3: on Ucla for a while in this game, and so

522
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 3: I'm anticipating you're gonna go Bruins. Plus the points at

523
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 3: home is maybe your home dog of the week. I

524
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 3: don't know, But talk me through this one and tell

525
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 3: me where you're at here.

526
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 1: So I don't think you can look specifically at LSU's

527
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: results last year just because the coordinator higher just dramatically

528
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 1: didn't work out. Emphatically, Bo Polini was not the answer

529
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: running the defense for LSU. Obviously, they had guys miss time,

530
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: Like everybody had guys that miss time. I expect a

531
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: pretty big jump the difference to me, though, is LSU

532
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: has two new coordinators three if you include passing game

533
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: coordinator as well on offense, a new full time starting quarterback.

534
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: I expect. I mean, they're deep on both lines. Everything

535
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: is set up for LSU to have a really impressive

536
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 1: bounce back year. Now situationally, UCLA has played a week,

537
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: but also that means we've now seen dtr who missed

538
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: a bunch of camp time. It's like eight or ten

539
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,959
Speaker 1: days or something like that. And I still don't know

540
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,959
Speaker 1: the reason. I think it was pointed out that it

541
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 1: wasn't COVID, but it's all sort of shrouded in like

542
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: he was still on zoom calls. He looked off against Hawaii.

543
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 1: His ability to throw with touch against Hawaii, a pretty

544
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 1: good defense, is now going to be tested by He

545
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: needs to fit balls into very tight spaces against Derek

546
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: Stingley and Eli Rix right Like we're talking about top

547
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 1: of the top of the top corner duo, and they're

548
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: still pretty deep at safety as well. So I understand

549
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 1: LSU is on the road to a bounce back year

550
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: and that it's week one and we don't need to

551
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: necessarily expect them to be a finished product. Right now.

552
00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: I like UCLA here, and I maybe it's going to

553
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: be the combination of a very odd week for LSU

554
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: traveling twice, and I feel disgusting using that as a

555
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: reason and picking just something as silly as a game

556
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: when they're going through something as serious. But if you're

557
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: forcing me to, I can see how that interrupts where

558
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 1: LSU wants to be. So I'm going to go with

559
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: UCLA here, with a smart coaching staff, with a very

560
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,959
Speaker 1: smart head coach who has a track record when he

561
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 1: has his squad where he wants them of putting them

562
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 1: in the best possible position to win. I really liked

563
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: what I saw out of these running backs. I think

564
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 1: linebacker is still a pretty big question in terms of

565
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: what the ceiling is for LSU. So I'm going to

566
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: go with UCLA here as my road dog of the week.

567
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: I don't feel as good about it after watching them

568
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: weirdly enough blow out Hawaii, just because I would have

569
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: liked to see more from dtr in terms of he's

570
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: been there forever and should be in a rhythm with

571
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: this offense by now, and I understand he was out,

572
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: and you know, maybe there's a nice bounce back quality

573
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: to him as well, you should physically overwhelm UCLA. But

574
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: there is something about that playing week one, the intelligence

575
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: of Chip Kelly that I'm gonna go with UCLA here

576
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: to close out LSU. And it's also it's got to

577
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: be very strange for LSU to go into the Rose Bowl.

578
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: That's going to be a quarter filled. So it's not

579
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: like you're fully be able to concentrate in an empty stadium,

580
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: or it's not like what you're used to in like

581
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: a crazy SEC stadium. So it's sort of like an

582
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: ephis pitch of an environment where UCLA is just who's

583
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: the Like, there's like a forty five year old pitcher

584
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: right now who just throws curve balls? Is it Rich Hill?

585
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 3: Like?

586
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: I think that's what the UCLA crowd is gonna be Like,

587
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: it's just kind of a murmur. So I'm gonna go

588
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: with UCLA to win this game by five in a

589
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: relatively high scoring affair, something like thirty eight thirty three,

590
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, something like that. So they're they're my

591
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: They're my Oinkster. That's the name of a place that

592
00:29:55,320 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: serves hot dogs in the Pasadena area. My Oikster, home dog.

593
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 3: Of the the Yakos.

594
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: Home Dog of the week or My Tommy's. Tommy's is

595
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: probably the better analog. They serve just incredible chili dogs

596
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: and chili burgers in the Greater LA area.

597
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 2: I am gonna go.

598
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 3: I honestly feel like LSU should win this game. Jealousy's

599
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 3: the better team. Ls's gonna win this game. I am

600
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 3: terrified every time I look at one of these points. President,

601
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 3: I just don't get it. So I'm gonna go with you.

602
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 3: The dog also picked UCLA, which again I'll post that video.

603
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 3: Good girl, Who's a good girl. Let's move to Sunday.

604
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 3: Dan got games all weekend.

605
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 2: It's Labor Day, man, that's true.

00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 3: seven and a half. On the road at Florida State.

608
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 3: Talk about my home.

609
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 2: Dog right here, the Yakos home Dog of What is

610
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 2: with you?

611

Speaker 3: You?

612
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: I love the random crush as you feel right now.

613
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: It's the state of Florida with Florida State, Miami, Florida State,

614
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: presumably Alida, Miami season in Texas. Yeah, typical Florida and

615
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: I Hilda Brandt.

616
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been on Florida State since this line was

617
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 3: Florida state plus nine and a half.

618
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 2: We talked about it months ago.

619
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 3: I'm still on Florida state here, even now that the

620
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 3: lines come down a little bit. And this isn't me

621
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 3: doing the reverse Jynx thing, because now that I am

622
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 3: beholden to those Patreon dollars, the least I can do

623
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 3: is be straight with you and be authentic.

624
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: Course, that's what I'm trying. And we're on the road

625
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: to a board of trustees, run the playerund the board

626
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: dot Com.

627
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just I gotta be level with people here.

628
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 3: I have to be my authentic self. This is how

629
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 3: I realistically feel about this game. I think Notre Dame's

630
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 3: gonna win by three or four points, and I say

631
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,719
Speaker 3: that for a couple of reasons. The first Mackenzie Milton

632
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 3: scares the absolute hell out of me, and Notre Dame

633
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 3: secondary should be pretty good. But it's like not a

634
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 3: situation where they're going to turn Mackenzie Milton into I

635
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 3: don't know, Max Bortenschlager, Like that's.

636
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 2: Just not a thing that's going to happen.

637
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: You just wanted to say, Bortonschlager.

638
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 2: I kind of did.

639
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm also going to add here. We didn't talk

640
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 3: a lot about it, but it is a slightly different scheme.

641
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 3: Notre Dame changed out as defensive coordinator because Clark Lee

642
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 3: went to Vanderbilt. They brought over Marcus Freeman from Cincinnati.

643
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 3: I think he'll be fine. I think he'll be great.

644
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 3: Make up your mind. Is he gonna be fine or

645
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 3: is he going to be great?

646
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 2: He'll be both. He might be fine to start in

647
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 2: great in time. I don't know.

648
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 3: Okay, it's not all that different a scheme, but it's

649
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 3: a newish system. There's some new faces there on the road.

650
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 3: If it were any other team, Dan, I would not

651
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 3: like that situation. So why should I be any different

652
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 3: for my own team. That's the first reason. Okay, the

653
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 3: second reason. I'm not a big cone head man, I'm not.

654
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: I'm not.

655
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 2: If they're gonna build the whole plane out of kyn

656
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 2: Williams and Chris Tyree running the football, Jack Cone makes

657
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 2: sense in that kind of offense.

658
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 3: He did that at Wisconsin. Okay, But if by some

659
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 3: off season miracle, Florida State has figured out how to

660
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 3: stop the run, or at least slow the run, if

661
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 3: they stack the box, I don't know, do we really

662
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 3: trust Jack Cone? Dan?

663
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 2: Do we trust Jack con in that situation? I'll tell

664
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 2: you this. When I learned to drive.

665
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 3: They told me to be mindful of road cones. God,

666
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 3: it's a device to signal caution. Oh no, slow down,

667
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 3: you put the brakes be where the road Cone? Dan?

668
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: Was Jack Cone actually disappointing on the road in twenty nineteen,

669
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm looking right now. I'm looking right

670
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: now for you. Jack Cone was worse than he was

671
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: at home in twenty nineteen when he led Wisconsin to

672
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: By the way, also two quarterbacks who coming back from

673
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: bad leg injuries, obviously Mackenzie Milton worse. He was fine

674
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: on the road. Eight touchdowns to two picks, rating up

675
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,959
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty one, seven point seven yards per attempt,

676
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: completed sixty five percent of his passes, and that's good.

677
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. As we've mentioned, Notre Dame is low

678
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: key Wisconsin. So I understand intrepidation. I do.

679
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 3: I think the ground game is ultimately too much for

680
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 3: Florida State, because even if they're better, there's still going

681
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 3: to be somewhat bad at stopping that.

682
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: They were truly awful last year for Flaria State against

683
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: the run. Yeah, it's terrible.

684
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 2: I think Florida State is going to be much better

685
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 2: this year. I think they'll hang in this game.

686
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 3: I hate the points bread from the Notre Dame standpoints,

687
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 3: so I'm going FSU plus the points. I think it's

688
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 3: actually a pretty good game. Twenty eight twenty four. Notre

689
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 3: Dame wins on the road.

690
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 1: The current it's seven seven and a half right and

691
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: hal eight and a half some places, but yeah, right

692
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: around that area. I'm sorry. I just don't like Florida

693
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: State all that much. I like them in the medium

694
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: and long term, but against a playoff team from last year,

695
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,439
Speaker 1: which is still what we are talking about with Notre Dame.

696
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 1: Notre Dame ran through the ACC undefeated until that Clemson game.

697
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: I talked about being disappointed with elements of Notre Dame's offense,

698
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: but that was against Clemson. That was against Alabama that

699
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: I didn't think they have the firepower and the creativity

700
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: to hang against Florida State. TI, I think you were

701
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: just you might be self hating Irish a little bit

702
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: too strongly here. Mackenzie Milton had his whole leg rebuilt true.

703
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,240
Speaker 1: I just I don't see a way in which Florida

704
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: State against a playoff team again, what did they do

705
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: last year against Notre Dame. Florida State lost by eighteen points?

706
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: Is that what I'm saying? Yeah, so they lost by

707
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: eighteen points. They did not play Clemson. They gave up

708
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: fifty two to Miami. Now granted that's on the road.

709
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 1: They gave up forty eight to Louisville, and they gave

710
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: up thirty five to Duke in a win. But they

711
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 1: gave up thirty five to Duke thirty eight to NC State.

712
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: I don't know, I see Notre Dame. Maybe this is

713
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: something for a quarter because the crowd's super into it.

714
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: But Florida State's farther away. They're going to get there

715
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: maybe October November next year or whatever. I have Notre

716
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: Dame winning this game like thirty four to seventeen, Like

717
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: I think Notre Dame comfortably wins this game by double digits.

718
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 1: I think you're just you're overthinking it here.

719
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 3: Okay, well we can disagree again, we just like, but

720
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 3: I'm just Notre Dame was a playoff team a year ago,

721
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 3: but they lost their winning This quarterback in program history,

722
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 3: who was a team leader love.

723
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 2: As a quarterback.

724
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,399
Speaker 1: Who's he starting for in the NFL this year? Yeah?

725
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: Fair enough?

726
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 2: Moving on, let's go to Monday.

727
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 3: Nice little number here, eight pm ESPN. Louisville on the road,

728
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 3: a nine and a half point dog against Ole Miss.

729
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 3: I say, on the road, but it's a neutral cider

730
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 3: in Atlanta, part of the Chick fil A opening weekend.

731
00:36:56,200 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 3: Ninety one percent of the money is currently on Miss.

732
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,399
Speaker 3: I'm guessing that has something to do with the opening line,

733
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 3: which was just a shade over a touchdown. So it

734
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 3: went up right. Louisville brings back Maleie Cunningham. Sure made

735
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 3: a lot of mistakes last year, but still playmaker.

736
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: Do we agree on that? Yeah? But here's here's a

737
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: big picture issue. If we're saying, well, if we can

738
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 1: get the X player of old, then we really have something,

739
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: when does that actually come true? Like when like if

740
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: we get the Adrian Martinez of three years ago, we

741
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: might have something Like there is just that that part

742
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,240
Speaker 1: of the conversation where it's like does that live in reality?

743
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 2: I don't know.

744
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 3: Malik cunning had made a lot of mistakes last year

745
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 3: through twelve picks Louisville. I stand by this Louisville was

746
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 3: not a horrible team. They just made so many dumb mistakes.

747
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 3: It was like a super Nebraska in that sense, like

748
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 3: they have talent, they could put it together in a

749
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 3: more meaningful way that actually gets better results. But they

750
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 3: shot themselves in the foot so many times last year.

751
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 3: I can only imagine how frustrating it must have been

752
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 3: to be a Louisville Cardinals fan.

753
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,879
Speaker 1: Mine one hundred and twenty six. Yeah, it's the same

754
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: page turnover margin.

755
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 3: Minus twelve and turnover margin. This game strikes me as

756
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 3: a shootout. Dan, it strikes me as a shootout. We

757
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,760
Speaker 3: can talk about Malie Cunningham until we're blue in the face.

758
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,399
Speaker 3: I don't know if either team plays defense this year.

759
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:27,839
Speaker 3: You know my old adage, if you're getting more than

760
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 3: a touchdown and a shootout, you take those points.

761
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 2: Don't know who wins.

762
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 3: I think this one is probably inside that number and

763
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 3: a lot of points. I think a fun game in

764
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 3: Atlanta on Monday night, I will go Louisville plus the

765
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 3: nine and a half.

766
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 1: I think I agree with you. I think we agree,

767
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: So it's okay. The explosive play rate last year of

768
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: Louisville's defense was one hundred and fourth nationally twelve percent

769
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: of the time they allowed an explosive play one hundred

770
00:38:54,160 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 1: and seventeenth ole Miss. So I expect points and it's

771
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 1: to me, I'm going to go Louisville as well, because

772
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: that what is it, nine and a half? You said

773
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: nine and a half. That's pretty emphatic, and I don't

774
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: think ole Miss is in that place yet. I think

775
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 1: they're two all over the place, and I still am

776
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 1: a believer in as you mentioned that, the ceiling of Louisville.

777
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: But I expect turnovers. I expect sloppy played from this

778
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,919
Speaker 1: offense once again, and maybe it'll regress to some sort

779
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: of meme. I expect that as well, because turnovers there

780
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 1: is there is a randomness to them, but there was

781
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 1: a carelessness to the way Louisville's offense rolled last year.

782
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: So I am going to go with Louisville to cover.

783
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: But I think ole Miss wins this game.

784
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 3: I think all Miss wins this game as well. I

785
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,240
Speaker 3: think they're the better team, and I am very excited

786
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:42,879
Speaker 3: by the way to see Lane Kiff in year two,

787
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 3: especially well, yeah, another year now of Matt Kroll. It

788
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 3: should be a dynamic offense should be a ton of

789
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,879
Speaker 3: fun to watch, and this is a great opening game

790
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 3: for them. Honestly, it's a great game for both teams.

791
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 3: There was obviously a part of ole Miss's success was

792
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 3: tied to having one of the best three or four

793
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 3: receivers in the country in Elijah Moore, who's no longer there.

794
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 3: Just incredibly dependable. So there is that that wrinkle to

795
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 3: ole Miss is finding those new guys that they can

796
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:11,399
Speaker 3: depend on. I know I like them at running back

797
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 3: a good deal. But it should be fun. It should

798
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 3: be back and forth. Let's do some quick hitters, shall we.

799
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 3: Those are the headliners. Plase, please please, There's a ton

800
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:24,439
Speaker 3: of other college football going on this weekend. In Week one,

801
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 3: let's go back all the way in time, Dan, if

802
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 3: we could. Thursday, seven pm ESPN, Boise State on the

803
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 3: road at UCF. UCF is a five and a half

804
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:39,760
Speaker 3: point favorite, Dan, which direction you're going.

805
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: You see, f I'm going with the quarterback that I trust,

806
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: I'm going even I'm going with the mystery. I mean,

807
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: we have two mysteries here. We have two new head

808
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 1: coaches and Andy Avlos at Boise and Gus Malson. But

809
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:54,399
Speaker 1: I am going with the dependability of a top ten

810
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 1: national quarterback probably and Dylan Gabriel, whereas I'm not so

811
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: sure about Boise's offense at this point, and just I

812
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 1: trust the Knights a little bit more right here at home.

813
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 3: More of the money eighty nine percent of the money

814
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 3: is on UCF at the moment. I probably go in

815
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 3: that direction as well, because I'm leary of I'm more

816
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 3: leary of the new coach, new system combination at Boise

817
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 3: than I am at UCF on the road against a

818
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 3: good team in Week one. I actually think the move

819
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 3: is to go over sixty eight and a half year

820
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 3: because both teams I believe will play with tempo. We

821
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 3: know that Boise wants to tim Plow, the guy they

822
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,439
Speaker 3: brought over to coordinate the offense from UC Davis ran

823
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:40,959
Speaker 3: a play on average every twenty three seconds last year,

824
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 3: So this is a guy who wants to play fast

825
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,439
Speaker 3: and you know, put its offense in position to score

826
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 3: as many points as possible.

827
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:49,439
Speaker 2: Go over.

828
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 1: By the way, this feels like one of the five

829
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 1: best and most interesting games of the week, just because

830
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: of where Boise's defense was last year and going against

831
00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel in this new offense under Gus. I'm fast

832
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: needed to watch this game.

833
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 3: Also on Thursday eight pm on Fox. We've got Ohio

834
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 3: State minus fourteen on the road at Minnesota. Dan, Minnesota

835
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 3: crush my soul last year first couple weeks of the year. Yeah,

836
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 3: absolutely crush my soul again this season. We've got a

837
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 3: veteran team. They bring back twenty starters. The last time

838
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 3: Ohio State was here, they did not cover the point spread.

839
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 3: They were favored by about the same amount in twenty fourteen,

840
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 3: only one by seven. Maybe a bit of foreshadowing, Who knows.

841
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 3: Looks like we got some rain, got some wind in

842
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 3: the forecast for Thursday night. Dan, new quarterback for Ohio State,

843
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 3: Is this the recipe for an upset.

844
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 1: Well look ahead spot as well? Oh yeah, that's right

845
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: because the Ohio State is hosting Oregon the Oregon the

846
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 1: following week, So.

847
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 2: You're going Minnesota outright.

848
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 1: I've been on the Minnesota. Now I'm going to Ohio

849
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 1: State to cover and hit the over. I think they're

850
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: going to be outstanding in this game. And I know

851
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,439
Speaker 1: Minnesota had issues in terms of missing players on both

852
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,280
Speaker 1: sides of the line of scrimmage last year or especially

853
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 1: early on in that Michigan game. I just I can't

854
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 1: find that reason to say Minnesota's defense is going to

855
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 1: improve to such a point where they're going to be

856
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 1: able to be competitive against oh The modern iteration of

857
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 1: Ohio State's offense and that type of speed and that

858
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: type of talent you mentioned was a Treveon Henderson, the

859
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,320
Speaker 1: big new name at running back, who's going to spell

860
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:34,879
Speaker 1: mas fatigue. I just with those receivers, with that offensive line,

861
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 1: which I know is a little bit beat up. I

862
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 1: think it was Thayer Munford was beat up. Now, there's

863
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 1: just something that I can trust about Ohio State at

864
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 1: this point. And I don't necessarily see the playmakers collectively

865
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 1: for Minnesota to find those points to score, Like how

866
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 1: many points does do you need to score to cover

867
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: a fourteenth point spread? If Ohio State is in the

868
00:43:55,120 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 1: realm of what we expect, Yeah, I don't say it.

869
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: I have Ohio State here forty two twenty two.

870
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 3: I have Ohio State thirty eight seventeen, much like your

871
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 3: Alabama Miami score. If Minnesota had shown any teeth on

872
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 3: defense whatsoever last year, I would feel so much better

873
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 3: about their returning talent. We throw the returning starters returning

874
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 3: production number out there all the time, but what was

875
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,280
Speaker 3: the quality of that defense?

876
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 2: Was bad a year ago? Now maybe you take that

877
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 2: with a grain of salt because of the weird COVID year.

878
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, I mean there's only it's a

879
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 1: fraction is what we can take. But we got to

880
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:36,359
Speaker 1: take something.

881
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 3: Got to take something. And they if they just had

882
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,800
Speaker 3: a little bit more bite on defense, I'd be inclined

883
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 3: to maybe do that, but just too much offensive talent

884
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:46,919
Speaker 3: for Ohio State. I think they win. I think they cover.

885
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 3: I'll go thirty eight to seventeen and favorite things.

886
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 1: The thing that gives me pause cause for pause, our

887
00:44:54,520 --> 00:45:00,800
Speaker 1: favorite pet charity. We are talking about a odes spot

888
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 1: on a Thursday night. I think the atmosphere is going

889
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: to be relatively electric with a new starting quarterback. And

890
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: I mean the look ahead spot doesn't really sway me

891
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: as much as that road week one new quarterback. Yeah,

892
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 1: that to me is I expect CJ. Stroud to be

893
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: the next great Ohio State quarterback. But I am a

894
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 1: little bit worried situationally that like, all right, he got

895
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 1: through it twenty eight twenty and onto Oregon and he

896
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 1: took a couple lumps, but really showed the promise we expected.

897
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 1: That to me is the reality that I also exist

898
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 1: in with this matchup. But I think I think that

899
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 1: happens three out of ten times, and I'm going forty

900
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 1: two to twenty two. I don't know how I arrived

901
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 1: at that number seven out of ten times.

902
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:55,359
Speaker 3: The counterpoint is that Ohio State could quite literally line

903
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:58,319
Speaker 3: up and run the ball sixty times and still cover

904
00:45:58,360 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 3: the spread.

905
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:00,439
Speaker 1: I think that's a good call.

906
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 3: They could run the ball until they're blue in the

907
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 3: face and still cover the spread with the depth that

908
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 3: they have at running back and with the talent that

909
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:11,280
Speaker 3: they have. You know, just the threat of Chris Olave

910
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 3: and Garrett Wilson gives them a lot even if they

911
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 3: don't throw to them.

912
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 2: So I don't know. I'm with you.

913
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 3: I think Ohio State wins and covers. I don't necessarily

914
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 3: feel great about this pick, but I think it's the

915
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 3: only one we can make at this point.

916
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 1: So we agree. Yeah, I mean, if Tanner Morgan had

917
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 1: those two NFL receivers, yeah, it's a different conversation to me,

918
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 1: is but I don't I don't see that that high

919
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: end energy from the Minnesota offense move to Friday evening, Dan,

920
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: I would love to six pm ESPN North Carolina minus

921
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 1: five and a half on the road at Virginia Tech.

922
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:48,319
Speaker 1: Now ninety two percent of the money is coming in

923
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,760
Speaker 1: on North Carolina. I am on Virginia Tech.

924
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 3: Here because the spread confuses you, not because of Braxton

925
00:46:56,600 --> 00:47:01,240
Speaker 3: Burmeister being the starting quarterback. I just want to be quick, okay. Situationally,

926
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 3: I think this is just a goofy spot for North

927
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 3: Carolina in Blacksburg a Friday night, lost pretty much all

928
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 3: of their offensive weapons from a year ago outside of

929
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 3: Sam Howell. Yeah, it takes sometimes a while to get

930
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 3: that move and I'm not super high on Virginia Tech

931
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 3: this year, but it's just a bad spot for North Carolina.

932
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:27,880
Speaker 1: North Carolina's not replacing those guys with like your buddies, Buddies,

933
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 1: they got a.

934
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 3: Lot of production at running back at whide Out. It's

935
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 3: just it's tough to have that walk out the door

936
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 3: and then go on the road to a hostile environment

937
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 3: on a Friday night like Virginia Tech. I just sure,

938
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 3: I think Carolina wins, but I think this is one

939
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:45,320
Speaker 3: of those nail biers.

940
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 1: I just don't think Virginia Tech's that good, and so

941
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with North Carolina to win here. I

942
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,959
Speaker 1: think there's just more to Like, I understand the situational call,

943
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 1: but you also have to have the ability to take advantage. Yeah,

944
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 1: and I don't just necessarily see it with Virginia Tech.

945
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:00,120
Speaker 1: I think it's maybe a good game for a half,

946
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:03,320
Speaker 1: and ultimately North Carolina, who still has its own issues,

947
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 1: like even forget what they had last year in terms

948
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: of those receivers and those running backs, Like this is

949
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 1: a team with those guys that had issues. Yeah, I

950
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 1: just don't know if Virginia I do know. I don't

951
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 1: think Virginia Tech is the team to take advantage. So

952
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting and emotional that first half, but

953
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 1: ultimately North Carolina makes plays. And once this came by,

954
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 1: I don't know ten or thirteen.

955
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 2: You know what just occurred to me?

956
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 1: Hmm.

957
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 3: It occurred to me that I have been confusing Braxton

958
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:32,760
Speaker 3: Burmeister with Max Bortenschlager, the aforementioned Bortonschlager.

959
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 1: So hold on, have you all off season long said

960
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 1: to yourself in your brain, you saw Max Bortenschlager under

961
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 1: center for Virginia Tech. I think I did. Yeah, not

962
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,320
Speaker 1: the Oregon trans for Braxton Burmeister.

963
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 3: No, No, okay, hmm, good to know. Didn't I make

964
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:54,319
Speaker 3: a banana bet on this too?

965
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 1: You did make a banana bet? The Andy Staples, Ari Wasserman,

966
00:48:56,920 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 1: Will Levis banana bet. If Braxton Burmes shines, we should

967
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 1: define shine. So we'll say no interceptions at least eight

968
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 1: yards per attempt in a winning effort, okay, and a

969
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:11,879
Speaker 1: touchdown pass.

970
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:16,480
Speaker 2: And at least a touchdown. Two touchdown passes to shine.

971
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:20,800
Speaker 1: Two touchdowns okay, two touchdowns, zero picks, h eight yards

972
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 1: per attempt in a winning efforts and you eat a

973
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,720
Speaker 1: banana peel and all yeah on camera.

974
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 2: I'll hold true to that.

975
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I feel a lot worse about that bet

976
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 3: now that I got these two guys.

977
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 1: Okay, that's okay.

978
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 3: Also on Friday night, nine pm ESPN, the Dan Rubinstein

979
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 3: Special Michigan State at Northwestern. The Cats are a three

980
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 3: point home favorite. This line opened as Michigan State plus

981
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 3: six and a half. It's obviously come down a lot

982
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 3: since then. Folks are crushing on the Spartan's pretty good.

983
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 3: Ninety seven percent of the money is currently on the

984
00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 3: Spartan sixty six percent of the bets.

985
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 2: I will go the other way because.

986
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 3: I want to go and be a contrarion like that.

987
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:09,239
Speaker 3: I will say the Cats minus the three. I don't

988
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 3: have a great lean in this game, one way or

989
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 3: the other. I would not touch this with a ten

990
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 3: foot pole if you made me put actual money on it.

991
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,799
Speaker 3: I don't want to go anywhere near this game. I

992
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 3: don't have much confidence in Hunter Johnson at quarterback for Northwestern.

993
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:26,919
Speaker 3: I guess the counterpoint would be that Michigan State still

994
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 3: doesn't know who they're playing at quarterback this year, right,

995
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 3: whether it's Anthony Russo or Peyton Thorn. But we just

996
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 3: we have this horrible tendency to always undervalue Northwestern.

997
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 1: Every year.

998
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 3: They continually find ways to get it done, even if

999
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:41,319
Speaker 3: they're a half team.

1000
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 2: So I'll just go Cats.

1001
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:46,720
Speaker 1: Why not? Schools not in sessions so the student section

1002
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 1: won't be as raucous as it will be later on

1003
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 1: if doesn't start fro another couple of weeks. Last year,

1004
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 1: Northwestern started out pretty well. They've had those seasons where

1005
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:58,799
Speaker 1: they look a little prummy early and then you look

1006
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 1: up and they have nine wins. But they demolished Maryland

1007
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 1: by thirty five forty points last year to open up

1008
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:09,920
Speaker 1: the season at home. So yeah, I understand the trepidation

1009
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 1: with Hunter Johnson. Michigan State's in a place where they're like,

1010
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:16,239
Speaker 1: I don't know who our quarterback is, or maybe they do,

1011
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 1: they just haven't said anything publicly. But I'm still not

1012
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:24,359
Speaker 1: there with the Spartans. I will get there eventually. I'm

1013
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:27,320
Speaker 1: not there yet. I think Northwestern wins this game ugly.

1014
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:28,280
Speaker 1: Seventeen thirteen.

1015
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 3: Let's move to more games on Saturday, go to high

1016
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 3: noon on FS one. This is the bodyclock game. We've

1017
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 3: been talking about it all year. Stanford traveling east into

1018
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 3: the Central time zone, squaring off against Kansas State, so

1019
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:49,760
Speaker 3: for them it will feel like a ten am kickoff,

1020
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:54,319
Speaker 3: the bodyclock game. I am all in on k State

1021
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 3: in this game. I am all in. I am not

1022
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 3: in on Stanford at all. First off, we don't know

1023
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 3: who their quarterback is, which sounds like a problem.

1024
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:05,440
Speaker 1: Was it Jack West or Tanner McKee?

1025
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:08,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it sounds like they're switching back to the Stanford

1026
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 3: of old football where they grounded pound. Don't know if

1027
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 3: that's gonna work. I we did the preview on Kansas State.

1028
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 3: There are certainly reasons to not be gung ho on

1029
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:24,919
Speaker 3: what Chris Climan has in store for twenty twenty one,

1030
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 3: but under his leadership, this is a program that has

1031
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 3: continually found ways to, I think overperform. They've got Skylar

1032
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 3: Thompson back. They've got Duce Vaughan, who we both love.

1033
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 3: We will be listening for the Deuce's short references from

1034
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:44,319
Speaker 3: the announcer. No doubt about this, I always, always, always,

1035
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 3: no doubt about it. Case State is only favored by

1036
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:50,239
Speaker 3: two and a half points. I think this is a

1037
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:54,800
Speaker 3: great spot for them, if only because of the weird

1038
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 3: body clock situation. Second lock of the week, give me

1039
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:01,359
Speaker 3: the Cats luck of the week.

1040
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:06,240
Speaker 2: I'm all in, baby, Who.

1041
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 1: Is your first Florida State?

1042
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 3: Now?

1043
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:10,799
Speaker 2: My first lack was Georgia, My second is case Georgia's.

1044
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, you went big with Georgia. Well, the

1045
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:17,319
Speaker 1: good news is Kansas State isn't playing a team that

1046
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:22,400
Speaker 1: fully has their name encapsulated in Arkansas State like they

1047
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 1: did last year when they lost that game. That was

1048
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:28,479
Speaker 1: what I assume a bit of a look ahead spot

1049
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 1: with Oklahoma, who they beat, I'm going Kansas State as well.

1050
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 1: I'm going Kansas State as well. There is I just

1051
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:40,279
Speaker 1: Stanford scares me. Stanford. I think if everything clicks, they

1052
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:42,960
Speaker 1: could be somewhat interesting. And I know people seem to

1053
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:45,480
Speaker 1: like Elijah Higgins as a new go to receiver, but

1054
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 1: the lack of confident experience, the lack of proven experience

1055
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 1: whatever at quarterback, I don't think they have a dude

1056
00:53:56,080 --> 00:54:00,080
Speaker 1: at running back. The defensive front, which for so many

1057
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:02,359
Speaker 1: was in a really good place. Like it's just there's

1058
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 1: not a ton of NFL type dudes on this Stanford

1059
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:10,399
Speaker 1: roster like there used to be three, four or five

1060
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:14,640
Speaker 1: years ago. I'm going Kansas State. I'm going Kansas State situationally,

1061
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:20,240
Speaker 1: and I you know, it's it's weird the starting time whatever,

1062
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm gonna go KSU here too. I'm actually

1063
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:28,600
Speaker 1: curious to see what happens with the eight, the Hateful eight.

1064
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:30,359
Speaker 1: I don't know what we're calling the big twelve teams

1065
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:34,320
Speaker 1: that were left behind by Texas and Oklahoma. I'm curious

1066
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 1: to see them specifically if there's if there's like a

1067
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:41,280
Speaker 1: clear fire lit underneath them, if they're treating twenty twenty

1068
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 1: one as an audition, You're like, look, people are talking

1069
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:49,000
Speaker 1: about us. We're popping little Apple. So yeah, I'm gonna

1070
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 1: go Kansastate here. I just I struggle to find things

1071
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 1: that get me excited about the Cardinal right now.

1072
00:54:55,320 --> 00:55:00,760
Speaker 3: A couple other games here Saturday, two pm, Packed twelve Network,

1073
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 3: Your Oregon Duck's about a three touchdown favorite at home

1074
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:07,280
Speaker 3: against Fresno. Most of the money coming in on Oregon.

1075
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:11,720
Speaker 3: I will go points. I will take the points because

1076
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 3: Fresno can air it out, they can score, They've got

1077
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:17,359
Speaker 3: a game under their belt. Oregon's gonna win this game

1078
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:19,879
Speaker 3: going away, But twenty one points feels like a lot

1079
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 3: to me.

1080
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 1: I'm going Fresno here to cover this spread. It feels

1081
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:27,799
Speaker 1: like a lot of points. The Mario crystal Ball era

1082
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:29,359
Speaker 1: has seen a lot of wins. I think they've only

1083
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:32,680
Speaker 1: lost once at home in that weird Stanford fumble, you know,

1084
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:34,839
Speaker 1: Touching the Pylon game from a couple of years ago.

1085
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:39,240
Speaker 1: But Oregon doesn't cover under the Mario crystal Ball regime,

1086
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:43,760
Speaker 1: They're just a home favorite. Oregon has not really covered.

1087
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 1: And the reason why is there's that ground and pound

1088
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 1: element to things with the Oregon offense. I'm not a

1089
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 1: huge Anthony Brown guy. I'm a huge, huge Joe moorehead guy.

1090
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:54,840
Speaker 1: I think Oregon ceiling is really interesting on offense. But

1091
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:57,760
Speaker 1: right now, with Fresno already having played a game, Oregon

1092
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:01,200
Speaker 1: down two starting defensive backs to spension in Jamal Hill

1093
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 1: and DJ James, I think I think Fresno is in

1094
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 1: a good enough place. With old man Rivers behind there

1095
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,840
Speaker 1: and his fifth year play by Ronnie Rivers, Ronnie Rivers

1096
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 1: record center in his fifth season playing football, I'm going

1097
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:19,799
Speaker 1: to go with Fresno to cover this and lose by

1098
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:21,400
Speaker 1: a couple touchdowns.

1099
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:24,520
Speaker 3: Saturday, three thirty, Big ten Network. This is an interesting

1100
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 3: game Indiana at Iowa. Iowa's favored by three and a half.

1101
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:33,319
Speaker 3: It opened as Iowa favored by six. It's come down

1102
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 3: a bit since the open. I'm going to take Iowa here.

1103
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:40,839
Speaker 3: I did the preview on Indiana, and I think that

1104
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:44,960
Speaker 3: the Hawkeyes can exploit a couple of the things that

1105
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 3: I saw in Indiana that should me cause.

1106
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:50,800
Speaker 2: For pause our favorite pet chair, obviously.

1107
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 3: I think chief among those is the fact that Iowa

1108
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:58,319
Speaker 3: should be better at running the football this season, right

1109
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:02,439
Speaker 3: something that Iowa has typically fairly well. I think they'll

1110
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 3: be better at it this year than the last and

1111
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:06,719
Speaker 3: Indiana was just not great against the run last year.

1112
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:09,800
Speaker 3: I think they'll they're going to be improved as well,

1113
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 3: but that particular matchup to me is a bit bothersome.

1114
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 3: In this game, I'm looking forward to seeing Michael Panics

1115
00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 3: back out there.

1116
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:19,960
Speaker 2: That will be great.

1117
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 3: I think this is an incredibly interesting early season conference

1118
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:25,560
Speaker 3: matchup between Indiana and Iowa.

1119
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 1: But.

1120
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 2: I'll go Iowa.

1121
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:35,160
Speaker 3: I think relatively low scoring, like twenty one seven, twenty

1122
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:38,520
Speaker 3: two seventeen. Now, how they get to twenty seventeen, But

1123
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:40,360
Speaker 3: twenty two to seventeen is my final.

1124
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm I'm I'm hitting that underhart in this one. Yeah,

1125
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 1: which I think it's what about forty I'm looking right now,

1126
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:48,959
Speaker 1: forty five points like an NFL game. Yeah.

1127
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:50,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1128
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:54,919
Speaker 1: So Indiana was the number two team nationally in terms

1129
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:58,439
Speaker 1: of cover percentage. They were underrated and underthought of by

1130
00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 1: the bookmakers. I'm going to go. I'm gonna go ee

1131
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:07,560
Speaker 1: you here, I'm going to go Indiana. Iowa has, for

1132
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 1: long stretches of the Kirk Farrence era, underperformed early on

1133
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:14,680
Speaker 1: weird games against Iowa State. Obviously, they've lost to an

1134
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 1: FCS team. Last year, they had a bad loss or

1135
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 1: two early on to start the year, like there's just

1136
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:22,120
Speaker 1: something that they need to be jump started after a

1137
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 1: week or two, I'm gonna go with Indiana here to

1138
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 1: come out head on fire, hair on fire. I think

1139
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 1: they win this game twenty to seventeen. I'm right there

1140
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 1: with you in terms of where the score looks. But yeah,

1141
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 1: I have the ho Ho Hoosiers yep.

1142
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 3: Next three thirty ESPN on Saturday, West Virginia three and

1143
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 3: a half point road favorite against the Maryland Terrapins. I

1144
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 3: have no idea who to pick here.

1145
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:46,600
Speaker 2: I want both teams to win.

1146
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:49,960
Speaker 3: I think I will go with Maryland plus the points

1147
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:51,160
Speaker 3: some of my favorites.

1148
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 2: I want them both to win.

1149
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:54,320
Speaker 3: I like them both. I think both are a cool story.

1150
00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 3: We were a little harsher on West Virginia in our

1151
00:58:57,160 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 3: preview show, and we said, we just don't know which

1152
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:02,520
Speaker 3: direction the program is headed. I wanted to be headed

1153
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:04,320
Speaker 3: in a good direction because we both like Neil Brown

1154
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:07,680
Speaker 3: a great deal. Sure, we also made some hay on

1155
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 3: the Mike Loxley knowing the DMV when we did our

1156
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:14,400
Speaker 3: Fantasy Things show a couple of years ago. So I

1157
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:15,200
Speaker 3: like both these guys.

1158
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 2: I don't really want either to lose. I hope it's close.

1159
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:19,840
Speaker 3: I will take Maryland getting points at home, but I

1160
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 3: don't have a strong lean one way or the other.

1161
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:23,120
Speaker 1: I think I'm with you. I think I'm gonna go

1162
00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 1: with the home dog. I just you want to see

1163
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:28,560
Speaker 1: more explosion from the West Virginia offense, and they're replacing

1164
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:30,400
Speaker 1: some key guys on all three levels of that defense,

1165
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 1: which I still expect to be the strength of this team.

1166
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:34,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'll just go with the home dog here.

1167
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 3: Four point thirty on Fox Louisiana. My rage occasions Dan

1168
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:43,880
Speaker 3: on the road at Texas, Texas favored by eight and

1169
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:46,360
Speaker 3: a half. For as much as I have been in

1170
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:50,920
Speaker 3: on Texas all year, and I'm now contractually bound almost

1171
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:54,280
Speaker 3: to be in on Texas for the remainder of the season, Yeah,

1172
00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 3: I would be a total hypocrite if I didn't take

1173
00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:58,280
Speaker 3: Louisiana plus the points here because I've been talking them

1174
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:03,440
Speaker 3: up all pre season one. I'm going to go Louisiana

1175
01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 3: plus the points. I do have concerns about their ability

1176
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:10,080
Speaker 3: to hang with a team like Texas, but especially since

1177
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:11,800
Speaker 3: there is some production that they lose as well, but

1178
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:14,440
Speaker 3: most of the team is back. Give me rage and

1179
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:18,280
Speaker 3: Cagen's plus the eight and a half now was hired before.

1180
01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 3: But I'm sticking to my guns here. I think this

1181
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 3: game could potentially be very close, especially with Texas now

1182
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:26,960
Speaker 3: starting a freshman quarterback. So first game of the sark Era,

1183
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:30,160
Speaker 3: I think more of a nail bier than Texas faithful.

1184
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:32,480
Speaker 2: Would want it to be. Give me Louisiana plus the points.

1185
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:35,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna go Texas to cover this game. You

1186
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:38,440
Speaker 1: don't get Texas hype unless there's a reason for Texas hype,

1187
01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:40,320
Speaker 1: and so this is going to be the reason for

1188
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 1: Texas hype that they'll ultimately let down. But I think

1189
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 1: Texas comes out and really looks impressive in a new

1190
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:48,440
Speaker 1: look system that Louisiana. Even though they've been led by

1191
01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:51,240
Speaker 1: their defense, especially their past defense these past couple of years,

1192
01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:54,560
Speaker 1: they don't know exactly what to expect from Hudson Card

1193
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 1: in this offense. I think Texas comes out and makes

1194
01:00:57,280 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 1: a statement they have the best player in this game

1195
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 1: and be on Robinson. They have an unknown quantity in

1196
01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 1: Hudson Car. They've got a couple interesting receivers. I'm not

1197
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:08,040
Speaker 1: crazy about the line. They've got dudes upfront on defense.

1198
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:10,280
Speaker 1: I'm just going I think, and I think Louisiana has

1199
01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:13,200
Speaker 1: their full attention after beating an actual big twelve power

1200
01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:15,200
Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, so I'm going to go with the

1201
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:16,920
Speaker 1: Horns here by a couple touchdowns.

1202
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 3: Saturday, five pm, PAC twelve Network, San Jose State on

1203
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:26,200
Speaker 3: the road at USC. USC favored by two touchdowns. This

1204
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:28,480
Speaker 3: line's down from sixteen and a half. I think I

1205
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:32,640
Speaker 3: go San Jose State here. I like USC. I think

1206
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 3: USC is due for a really good season, but it's

1207
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 3: another one of those deals where San Jose State's got

1208
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 3: a game under its belt, aired it out last week,

1209
01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 3: looked really good, I thought in what we saw of them.

1210
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:49,760
Speaker 3: So for as much as I like USC, I think

1211
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:53,280
Speaker 3: that San Jose State's probably got that tune up game

1212
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:55,760
Speaker 3: in and ready to score more points against this defense.

1213
01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 3: So fourteen feels like a lot to me, even though

1214
01:01:58,120 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 3: I really like USC to win.

1215
01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:03,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm seeing fourteen and a half. Fifty eight to

1216
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:06,600
Speaker 1: fifty nine points is the over under. I think who's

1217
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 1: the money in on?

1218
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:10,320
Speaker 2: Eighty three percent of the money is in on San

1219
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 2: Jose State.

1220
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:15,680
Speaker 1: That makes me want to take QUSC. I'm gonna fade

1221
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:19,720
Speaker 1: the public here and I'm gonna take USC. I think

1222
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:21,400
Speaker 1: all of your points are sailing, and I think they're

1223
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 1: all correct, but there is something. There's continuity with USC.

1224
01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:29,720
Speaker 1: There are playmakers on offense. I don't know to what

1225
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:32,440
Speaker 1: extent I trust the Todd Orlando defense, but I still

1226
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:35,320
Speaker 1: you know, Drake Jackson is on this defense, I think

1227
01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:37,640
Speaker 1: he's going to really havoc. So I'm gonna go with

1228
01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:39,840
Speaker 1: sc here To actually to come out of the gates really,

1229
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:41,800
Speaker 1: really strong. I think San Jose has their attention. They

1230
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:43,360
Speaker 1: won the Mountain West last year, so they're not going

1231
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 1: to be looked at as a walkover. Yeah. I'm gonna

1232
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:47,600
Speaker 1: get take the Trojans by three touchdowns here.

1233
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:50,720
Speaker 3: I want to see how good the rest of the

1234
01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:54,360
Speaker 3: defense is beyond Drake Jackson because one of the blind

1235
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 3: items I remember this distinctly in the preview piece that

1236
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:01,080
Speaker 3: the athletic put together, when I think it was the

1237
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:04,040
Speaker 3: athletics somebody put together. When they have blind items talking

1238
01:03:04,040 --> 01:03:07,360
Speaker 3: to other coaches about the team that they're previewing, one

1239
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:11,160
Speaker 3: of the comments from an opposing coach was that Drake

1240
01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:14,640
Speaker 3: Jackson's really good. The rest of the defense is just like,

1241
01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:19,120
Speaker 3: they're good players, but they're not superstars, right, and that

1242
01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:20,840
Speaker 3: stuck out to me. I want to see what they

1243
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:23,840
Speaker 3: can do in this opening matchup here. That will I

1244
01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:24,840
Speaker 3: think set the tune for.

1245
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:27,960
Speaker 1: Hey Man, Corey Foreman. Maybe get in on some third

1246
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 1: form and pass rushing situations.

1247
01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:31,480
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, we'll see what.

1248
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:34,920
Speaker 1: San Jose say. Ran the table until the Bowl game, right, yeah?

1249
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:35,920
Speaker 1: They won all their games.

1250
01:03:36,040 --> 01:03:41,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, and finally Saturday, seven pm ESPN, they play this

1251
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:47,080
Speaker 3: one in the nerd Texas Tech minus one and a half.

1252
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:51,880
Speaker 3: The Fighting Shucksters Dan Man squaring off against Clayton Tune

1253
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:54,959
Speaker 3: and Houston one and a half is the line.

1254
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:57,440
Speaker 1: So if they're the Fighting Shucksters, is that meme? Houston

1255
01:03:57,520 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 1: is the Tune Squad? Whatever you want to go with.

1256
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:02,000
Speaker 1: The name was the name of the from Space Jam? Right?

1257
01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:04,040
Speaker 1: What weren't they called the Tuons? What was the name?

1258
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:05,520
Speaker 2: Do I think the Toon Squad?

1259
01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:09,120
Speaker 1: I think so? Oh man, I gotta verify this. Yeah

1260
01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:10,960
Speaker 1: it's Toon squad. Okay toone squad?

1261
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:16,480
Speaker 3: Sure, Yeah, Shucksters against Toon Squad, Dan Shuckster's favored five

1262
01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 3: point and a half?

1263
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:24,600
Speaker 1: What you got? I think I'm gonna go Texas Tech here, real, yeah,

1264
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:26,640
Speaker 1: I don't have a good reason why. I think the

1265
01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:30,320
Speaker 1: best of Tyler Shuck is interesting. This place last year listen.

1266
01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:35,480
Speaker 3: Live on the wild Side with me, throw your money

1267
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:39,840
Speaker 3: behind Houston Outright and Dane Holgerson. The first two years

1268
01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:41,400
Speaker 3: been weird at Houston.

1269
01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:44,800
Speaker 2: This is the game. This is the game.

1270
01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:47,560
Speaker 3: This is the game where they start to make their mark.

1271
01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:50,120
Speaker 3: This is the game where Holgerson starts to put it together.

1272
01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:55,800
Speaker 3: Fly with me, go Houston outright at home in the nerd?

1273
01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:56,840
Speaker 3: Come on, what else do you need?

1274
01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:00,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not home home, but yes it's home.

1275
01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:03,120
Speaker 1: It's not that far for Texas Tech. It's far enough

1276
01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:04,920
Speaker 1: across the state. But I'm gonna yeah, I'm gonna go

1277
01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:05,320
Speaker 1: Tech here.

1278
01:05:05,560 --> 01:05:08,200
Speaker 2: Okay, what's your lock by the way, you're locking anybody up?

1279
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:13,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna lock up. Kansas State newsman is short

1280
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:16,280
Speaker 1: against Stanford. Yeah, I'm gonna go Kansas State.

1281
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:16,480
Speaker 3: There.

1282
01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:18,680
Speaker 1: Block of the week. Block of the week?

1283
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:26,360
Speaker 2: Why selection, my friend? Any other games on your radar

1284
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:27,800
Speaker 2: that you want to call out very quickly?

1285
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:30,760
Speaker 1: Yeah? Nevada cal should be interesting. Carson strong with a

1286
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:33,480
Speaker 1: couple really strong receivers traveling to Cal and what we

1287
01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:35,960
Speaker 1: expect to be another at least pretty good cal defense

1288
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:38,960
Speaker 1: BYU Arizona just to get a new look at what

1289
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:41,920
Speaker 1: Arizona looks like under Jedfish and BYU with a new

1290
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:45,680
Speaker 1: starting quarterback and new offensive coordinator. Ricky. Ronnie finally gets

1291
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:48,120
Speaker 1: to coach a game for the Monarchs of ODU, So

1292
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:51,439
Speaker 1: there's that he's been there for over a year. South

1293
01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:54,400
Speaker 1: Dakota State, who was the FCS runners up like four

1294
01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:57,080
Speaker 1: weeks ago, they didn't play at twenty twenty one season.

1295
01:05:57,280 --> 01:05:59,560
Speaker 1: They get Colorado State, so just if you if you

1296
01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:02,400
Speaker 1: have your your eyes open for an FCS upset, you

1297
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:05,280
Speaker 1: know that's not the worst place to start. Michigan gets

1298
01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:08,840
Speaker 1: Western Michigan and that's Caleb Labieh, who is quietly one

1299
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:11,760
Speaker 1: of the better quarterbacks in the country, but certainly one

1300
01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:14,400
Speaker 1: of the more talented players in the MAC. So I

1301
01:06:14,440 --> 01:06:17,120
Speaker 1: don't know he kind of rules, so that could be interesting.

1302
01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:22,080
Speaker 1: Army Georgia State tie. The game is in Atlanta. The

1303
01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:26,000
Speaker 1: Panthers had I have it down here, one non competitive game,

1304
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:28,960
Speaker 1: you know, a blowout lost to Coastal Carolina. They have

1305
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:32,560
Speaker 1: a double Cornelias situation at the quarterback and receiver, and

1306
01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:37,040
Speaker 1: that's fascinating to me. Northern Iowa almost beat North Dakota

1307
01:06:37,080 --> 01:06:39,800
Speaker 1: State in the spring. There was a twenty three to

1308
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:43,040
Speaker 1: twenty loss, and they are Iowa State's first opponent with

1309
01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:45,680
Speaker 1: a possible look ahead spot to the Syhawk game. Yep,

1310
01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:48,360
Speaker 1: that's interesting to me. So, I mean even I think

1311
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:52,080
Speaker 1: it's a pretty deep weekend of interest. But speaking of deep, tie,

1312
01:06:52,440 --> 01:07:00,840
Speaker 1: I have a favor. Oh no, you drop that big, stanky, engulfing, enticing,

1313
01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:04,320
Speaker 1: enveloping Drummond five.

1314
01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:10,160
Speaker 3: The Patriot League is back, Dan, it is back. They

1315
01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:12,400
Speaker 3: tried to do it in the spring. That didn't work.

1316
01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:16,080
Speaker 3: Let's talk about it in twenty twenty one, shall we

1320
01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:33,880
Speaker 1: going to lose by a tremendous amount of I just

1321
01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:35,800
Speaker 1: I like saying Gators a lot. BC is gonna win

1322
01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:36,520
Speaker 1: that game comfortably.

1323
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:37,960

Speaker 1: Give me Holy Cross there we agree.

1334

Speaker 3: Also on national television, Big Year for the pat League incoming,

1342
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:38,160
Speaker 1: that game. But I did want to compare and find

1343
01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:40,200
Speaker 1: a reason to take Fordham. And I looked up the

1344
01:08:40,240 --> 01:08:46,439
Speaker 1: best pizza available in Lincoln, Nebraska, And if we're only

1345
