WEBVTT - QB1 Named, Week 0, Oklahoma St QR Codes 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:05.400 Colorado, said Timber seventh. Colorado finished last year one and 0:00:05.480 --> 0:00:08.959 eight against the Pact quickly, and Nebraska just finished their 0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:14.480 seventh and second. But this game has implication up for 0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:17.800 and for Matt We're gonna have and there is no 0:00:18.000 --> 0:00:22.160 waste for Nebraska to show that they're back anymore than 0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:25.800 having the viewing audience that Don Sanders to box and 0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:29.720 Colorado win this game. Eight is going to There have 0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:32.520 been a bunch of media back one from last year. 0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:37.560 It is crazy again and ate it n win because 0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:43.120 it is Hanado USC versus LSU in elite stadium. He 0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:46.320 said what hemburg first in lost Van. This is a 0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:49.480 meeting that Lincoln Riley did not want to happen. Us 0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:52.640 best to get out of this game, and this is 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:57.400 the first meeting for those also universities have forty weeks 0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:00.440 is here. We're gonna look at this Florida State Georgia 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:03.520 Tech game and actually talk about who is going to 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:06.880 have the best game of the weekend, Not the most 0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:09.400 popular game of the weekend, but the best game of 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:11.520 the weekend. Take a little bit of a peek at 0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:15.200 what's going on next week because college football is upon us, 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:18.640 and who's going to and if this game in particular 0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:24.280 has any ramifications for the college football playoffs. Oklahoma State 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:27.440 is doing something very very unique. They're trying a new 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:33.319 NIL gimmick with putting QR codes on the back of 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:37.160 their helmets. And now is this going to work? Is 0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:40.000 this going to be received like Colorado putting their ig 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:42.319 names on the back of on the back of their 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:45.559 jerseys and all that in between. But we're gonna start 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:50.200 though quarterback ones. So there was a bunch names. Now 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:52.960 one of the most prominent positions in all the college 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:56.200 football this year is over at USC because you have 0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.840 you had Jade Maiveia kid to transfer it over from 0:01:59.920 --> 0:02:04.800 U and Miller Moss really battling it out for the 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:07.560 QB one position. Now, Miller Moss had a big time 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:11.880 bowl game which people were excited about. Was through five, six, 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:15.120 seven touchdowns. It was a lot and so people were excited, 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:17.840 but you know, it was a bowl game and Miller 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:22.600 Moss has been a kid that has stuck it out. Now, 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:27.399 when people talk about kids who they don't want to competent, 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:31.000 they don't want competition. Kids are scared of competition. They're 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:34.480 they're scared of competing. They just want to run away. Well, 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:37.600 Miller Moss is a kid who has done the complete opposite. 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:43.480 He has stuck it out. Even though the Heisman Trophy 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.960 winner Caleb Williams transferred in what did Miller Moss do 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:51.400 stick it out? They recruited Malachi Nelson? What did he do? 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:55.000 Stick it out? Malachi Nelson's gone over at Boise State, 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:58.920 and we'll talk about his situation as well. So and 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:01.360 this is a kid that did play his senior year 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:06.680 of high school football. So he's thrown ninety two passes 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:10.200 in games in four years. That's sticking it out and 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:15.280 he's in a good position for it. We got in usc. 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:19.040 Their entire season is going to be hinged upon two things. 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:22.000 Number One, Obviously, the defense has to play better than 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:24.680 it's played in the last couple of years, and that's 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:29.800 gonna be important, but you have but you also have 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:38.080 their quarterback position. And Miller Moss. Now people aren't expecting 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:40.680 him to be Caleb Williams, but if he can come 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:44.960 out and play efficiently and play well, now he's different 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:48.240 than every other quarterback that Lincoln Riley has had since 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.640 he's been there. He doesn't run like Kyler Murray or 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:57.240 Jalen Hurts or Caleb Williams or Baker Mayfield. So this 0:03:57.320 --> 0:03:59.280 is going to be a test for Lincoln Riley as 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:01.520 well as it in terms of style of play of 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:04.360 his quarterback, as well as it's going to be a 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:07.440 test for Miller Moss because if he can pass this test, 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:12.080 that'll be another quarterback that he throwed that Lincoln Riley 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:14.840 ends up in the first round into the NFL. And 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:18.880 I'm not putting that above Miller Moss because of what 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:23.000 Lincoln Riley has done so many times. Now, the next quarterback, 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.360 this kid transferred from Texas. He was a kid that 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:30.120 you didn't have a ton of high school experience either 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:33.440 in Malik Murphy. But he's a kid that looks good 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:35.800 getting off the bus. And when I say that, I 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.520 mean like when he gets off the bus, You're like wow, 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:42.080 Like that's the kid was impressive in high school. Big 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:45.320 Strong got a chance to see him in person, and 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:49.800 he was playing behind Quinn Ewers at Duke. I'm sorry 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:53.839 at Texas and then he transfers to Duke, wins the 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:57.520 starting job and Manny di as his head coach, says 0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:02.560 that his preparation, work ethic and productivity have made him 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:07.560 QB one and you know, Murphy loved Texas. This is 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:09.640 a kid who didn't want to leave, but that QB 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:12.840 room is deeper than the Gulf of Mexico, and so 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:14.640 he was like, yeah, it's time for me to get 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:17.760 up out of here. Especially when quinn Ewers decided to 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:21.279 come back for this season, it was probably the right move. 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:24.359 And now he's got his own shot. Now here's the 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:28.400 interesting part about Duke is that most people have them 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:31.960 picked to finish, you know, out of the seventeen teams 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:35.680 in the ACC somewhere in between like thirteen and seventeen. 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:42.400 So if Malik Murphy plays well Manny di As, you know, 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.080 his defense is going to be a pretty good you know, 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:48.039 even if it's not where it needs to be right now. 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:51.080 In short order, he's going to be putting out a 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:53.960 really good defense. Now. If he can get good production 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:57.920 out of Malik Murphy and this offense, because Duke has 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:01.640 been a hot bed for transfers as well, then this 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:05.040 is a team that there's no shot they win the ACC. 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:10.400 But there's a difference in finishing in you know, fourth 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:14.320 to seventh than it is thirteenth to fifteenth in a 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:19.640 super deep conference like the ACC. Next up, we got 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:23.400 Boise State. And now remember I mentioned Miller Moss over 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:28.279 at USC. Now, the guy that was supposed to be 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:31.479 next up out of high school. You know, some people 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:33.359 had him the number one recruit in the nation, but 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:36.360 he was damned sure. In everybody's top five and all 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:40.680 the recruiting services top five is Malachi Nelson out of 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:44.560 Los Alamito's high school. So he goes to USC. Now 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:47.520 there are rumors that he was not as focused and 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:50.159 everything as he needed to be there, So you hope 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:52.960 that it changed to Boise State was going to be 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:57.440 the thing that you know, propelled him to have an opportunity. 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:00.240 And he was supposed to be the kid who you know, 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:04.320 showed Lincoln Riley and showed everybody else like yo, I'm ready. 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:08.000 They didn't believe like they needed to believe. So I'm 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:10.240 out of here and I'm gonna prove him wrong. Well, 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:13.720 he got beat out by Maddox Madden, a kid who 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:18.080 split time last year. And this is and their OC 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.680 has been around the block. Now. He was my former 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:24.200 OC with the Jacksonville Jaguars for a short time. Dirk 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:27.680 Cutter coached at Arizona State as well as their head 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:31.080 coach coach with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as offensive coordinator 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:33.800 and head coach. So this is a dude that's been 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:36.080 around the block and seen a lot of different types 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:42.320 of quarterbacks and they chose Maddox Madden. Now this kid 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:45.440 does not Now he's a kid that don't look good 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:48.040 getting off the bus, you know he's I mean, Bryce 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:50.120 Young doesn't look good getting off the bus either, So 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:53.560 there's no disparacement upon him upon Maddox, but it's just 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:58.840 the reality he's under six feet tall, doesn't necessarily look 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:02.280 the part, but he split time last year with an 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:05.320 excellent athlete with Green that was there last year. So 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:08.080 Boise State, who is a team that a lot of 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:12.120 people are picking to make the College Football Playoff as 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:16.400 the highest ranked group of five team. So it is 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:20.160 going to come down to Maddox Madden and how he's 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:22.200 able to play, because if he ends up having to 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:24.640 be replaced at any point in time this year, it 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:28.640 is going to be very tough because changing quarterbacks that 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:32.600 means that you lost some games or there was an injury, 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.160 and now that means that something was going wrong for 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:40.560 you to have to switch quarterbacks, So that's gonna make 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:44.200 it tough if Maddox is not the right guy for 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:49.520 the job. Arizona State, they decided to go with Sam 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.920 Levitt as their stared and starting quarterback, and this was 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:55.240 very obvious. And you guys know, I got a chance 0:08:55.240 --> 0:09:00.200 to interview Kenny Dillingham, their officer coordinator defense coordinator here 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:01.960 on the Unafraid Show. So make sure that you guys 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:05.240 go back and watch that. Go to the interview section 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:07.840 all of them in there, and you'll get a chance 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:11.720 to see that one. Well. Sam Levitt from Michigan State 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:15.439 was clearly brought there to start at ASU and Jaden 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:20.319 Rashada saw that and he bounced And people can say 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:23.680 it's for whatever reason, but that's the reason why he 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:28.679 decided to leave. Now. Jeff Simms, he was brought in 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:32.520 to add an athletic dimension, but the turnover bug was 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:35.520 still biting him in fall camp. And then you had 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:39.319 Trenton Borgay, who is a six year guy and he's 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:43.280 been a backup the entire time, but he's ended up 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:46.200 starting at some point in time in the last few 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:49.680 years and he's played well. So this feels like a 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:54.240 situation where Trenton may have actually been the better situation, 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:57.400 but you know that you might get Levitt for more 0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:00.640 than one year. So that's gonna be one to watch 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:04.280 at Arizona State because Arizona State has switched up quarterback 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:06.480 so much in the last couple of years that it 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:11.200 hasn't even really been funny. Now you got Nevada. Nevada 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:14.640 is a kid that in Brendan Lewis that you have 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:18.079 seen at Colorado. You saw him starting last year as well, 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:22.080 and he was in a quarterback competition against Trooper Party, 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:28.800 who is Brock Party's brother, who's a pretty good player, 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:33.160 and he had transferred in and he's been out for 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:36.560 a decent amount of time, been dealing with a shoulder injury. 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:41.640 So Brendan wins the job there. Now, he was a 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:44.160 kid Lewis who was a kid who looked like a 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:47.640 bright spot for Colorado in twenty twenty one, but he's 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.920 only thrown two touchdown passes in one hundred and thirty 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:54.520 six attempts in the last two years. So is he 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:56.480 going to be able to hold on to this job 0:10:56.559 --> 0:11:00.560 for the rest of the season after Trooper Party healthy. 0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:05.640 That's one to watch over at Nevada over at Baylor. 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.680 And remember we have their head coach, Dave Randa on 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:12.720 the pressure cooker this year. He's under the pressure cooker 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:16.040 for coaches and he's on the hot seat for coaches, 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:19.720 coaches because Baylor has to win this year, Like this 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:21.920 is not one of those years where you can just 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:24.880 show you know where you can just get by and 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:26.959 you say, ah, this is an aberration for the coach 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:32.679 because Baylor the last two seasons has underperformed dramatically, and 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:36.240 now they're going with the Kwan Finn as their starting 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:42.120 quarterback according to Dave Wilson and Adam Rittenberg yesterday. Now, 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:45.760 this kid Finn was a three year starter at Toledo, 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:51.520 the mations Most valuable player last year, twenty six hundred yards, 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:56.400 twenty two touchdowns, nine interceptions. So now, and he helped 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:58.840 his team go to an eleven and two record and 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:02.840 the MAC Championship last year. So this is gonna be 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:06.480 a big departure from what they got out of Blake 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:09.760 Shapin last year, who had started twenty three games for 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:12.760 the Bears over his three seasons, and he was an 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:15.439 honorable mention All Big Twelve last year. But then he 0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:19.920 transferred to Mississippi State and then finn He beat out 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:25.520 Sawyer Roberson, a Mississippi State transfer who had started four 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:30.160 games last year at Baylor. RJ. Martinez who appeared in 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:33.000 three games last year too, So that's one to watch 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.640 over at Baylor because they got a new offensive coordinator 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:39.200 and this is an absolute must win for Daved Randa. 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:42.200 So this is one of those you had to choose 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:46.120 the right quarterback because you are switching styles because last 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:48.839 year Baylor was a pro style offense and this year 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:52.640 they're going to the spread because they got Spavatol as 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:56.480 their offensive coordinator who came in from cal who had 0:12:56.520 --> 0:13:01.560 previously been there as well. So we're gonna see yeah, 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:04.120 because this is a pivotal year for Spavadol as a 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:07.960 head coach and for Dave Randa as a well. Sbabital 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:13.280 as a OC and David Randa as a head coach. Now, 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:17.800 this is one from the Dion Sanders fallout from Colorado 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:23.200 last season, and that is freshman Danny O'Neill who was 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:29.720 committed to Colorado last year but now last second flipped 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:33.160 when their new head coach, Sean Lewis took over. So 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:36.840 Sean Lewis was the officer coordinator for Colorado who when 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:38.959 they were putting up a lot of points last year, 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:42.200 and then for some reason he got relieved of his 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:45.320 play calling duties and then ends up as the head 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:48.160 coach for San Diego State because he got blamed for 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:51.199 all the sacks that Shoulder took last season, even though 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:53.520 he ended up taking a bunch of sacks after Sean 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:57.400 Lewis got demoted as well. And this is gonna be 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:01.199 San Diego State's first ever true fresh and starter. And 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:04.320 he beat out A. J. Duffy who had transferred from 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:07.920 I believe Florida State, and you know the rest of 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:10.400 the quarterback room who had been out there as well. 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:12.920 The last one that we want to talk about is 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:17.960 South Carolina. Now, after two years of Spencer Raller, the 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:21.400 game Cocks are going with Leonora Sellers. This is a 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:26.080 local kid who plays in his respecs. Wait till you 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:28.080 see a picture of this kid. The kid plays in 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:31.720 his glasses. And he beat out Robbie Ashferc, who had 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:35.480 been you know, part of the quarterback battles at Oregon. 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:38.680 He played a little bit at Auburn the last two 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:41.280 seasons and We're going to figure out what's going on 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:43.000 with Robbery Ashford because he was a hell of a 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:45.760 baseball player too, so I wonder if we'll end up 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:48.840 seeing him play a little bit of baseball as well, 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:53.920 especially with him not winning the quarterback competition. Now, some 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:57.920 of these quarterbacks are going to have impact on the 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:01.640 games in week zero because we have four games this 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:05.440 week in Week zero, and we are very, very excited 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:10.440 about those games. So we have Florida State, so we 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:16.360 have Florida State and Georgia Tech. We have Montana State 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:21.200 and New Mexico SMU and Nevada, and we have Delaware 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:25.840 State and Hawaii. Now, on its face, you're like, oh 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:30.320 my god, look at these games. Be happy, be happy, 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:33.280 we have college football. Don't you toot your nose up 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:35.920 at any damn game around here. I'm letting you know, 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:40.360 we are thankful. We are thankful for all of these games. Thankful. 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:45.720 So that's the first thing. Second thing is is the 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:49.160 biggest name games do not always equal to best games. 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:52.760 So I'm actually looking at a game that is going 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:58.400 to that I'm excited to see how this pans out. 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:00.520 But we're going to go through each one. Got Florida 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:02.920 State Georgia Tech. So this is the first game, and 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:07.680 this game is We're in Dublin, Ireland, and you're like, wait, 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:10.920 didn't at the Notre Dame think Well, listen, you got 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:13.840 Florida State and Georgia Tech out there this year, and 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:17.040 these are two teams that are not necessarily evenly matched. 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:20.040 So you got Florida State coach by Mike Norvel, and 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:23.480 you got Brent Key in his second year and Brient 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:26.880 Key at Georgia Tech. This is not your father's Georgia Tech. 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:29.880 This is not your Calvin Johnson, you know, wing team 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:34.920 Navy style offense. No, they are regular football now and 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:39.200 they are playing very good football. And Brent Key has 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:44.720 been recruiting well, they just got a five star commit. 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:48.400 And Georgia Tech's a hard school to get into, but 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:53.320 this is a place because it's located in Atlanta. This 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:56.120 could be one of them sleeping giants, Like they can 0:16:56.200 --> 0:17:02.120 turn this into a problem for the ACC now they have. 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:06.199 They had a top twenty five offense last year and 0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:09.840 this year they are top ten in returning production. So 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:13.800 this is an older team, a mature team, and top 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:16.720 ten in returning production. This is a team that is 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:20.040 going to give people fits this year. The same team 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:23.160 that beat Miami last year, even though that was Miami's fault, 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:28.080 they still came out with the victory. So with Florida 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:31.160 State breaking in a new quarterback in Dj Uyangalle, who 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:35.520 transferred from Oregon State by way of Clemson last year, 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:39.480 this is DJ's last stand and he's trying to prove 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:42.720 himself not just a good quarterback, a good college quarterback, 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:46.240 an efficient college quarterback, but he's trying to prove himself 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:51.239 as a great NFL prospect, like a kid who is 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:54.199 not just you know, a good college player that anybody 0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:59.520 would be happy to have, but a legitimate NFL prospect. 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:02.920 And that's what's on the line for Dj this year, 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:10.520 and Mike Norvel knows it. So the question is what 0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:14.080 is Florida State's mentality coming into this season because last 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:21.080 year that was like they were riding so high last 0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:25.160 year on the way to the College Football Playoff. Quarterback 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:27.960 gets hurt and now all of a sudden, it's oh man, 0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:31.120 see this Florida State team, See they're not good enough. 0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:35.720 It doesn't forget the fact that that Alabama almost lost 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:40.960 to Auburn. Forget that forget they needed a miracle there. 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:44.080 Oh but Florida State the quarterback center not good enough, 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:47.040 No way, no chance, even though Ohio State won with 0:18:47.080 --> 0:18:51.679 their third string quarterback, but I digress. In twenty fifteen, 0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:56.440 who cares about them? Damn details. So you got Florida 0:18:56.440 --> 0:19:00.520 State and this Georgia Tech team, especially first game the season, 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:04.119 this is going to be scrappy. This is This game 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:07.840 is going to be a lot scrappier than people really 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:11.879 want to admit. Florida State is favored by eleven points 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:15.720 in this game, and I'm gonna have to take Georgia Tech. 0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:17.680 I think Florida State's gonna win the game, but I'm 0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:21.199 taking Georgia Tech plus eleven. Here, this feels like a 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:26.080 good spot and a good opportunity for Georgia Tech to 0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:29.879 either sneak out a win or just let everybody know 0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:33.919 this year, hey, hey, we are not played and this 0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:38.960 is a prime, prime upset spot because you have a 0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:42.760 game that is not in friendly confines, You're in a 0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:45.440 whole different country. You got to keep your team focused. 0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:49.199 It's a brand new season, You're you're breaking in a 0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:53.639 new quarterback, new leadership. Yo, this has the making and 0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:58.680 Georgia Tech is a veteran team top ten returning production. 0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:04.760 Watch this from here plus eleven for Georgia Tech or 0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:07.680 the next game up, we got Montana State, New Mexico. 0:20:09.119 --> 0:20:14.399 Montana State is favored by eleven points. Yes, and FCS 0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:20.040 team and FCS team is favored over an FBS team, 0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:23.159 and you're like, wait, hold up, no, I had to 0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:27.600 look at that multiple times. Now, Montana State is ranked 0:20:27.680 --> 0:20:31.160 number four in the FCS and has a first place 0:20:31.240 --> 0:20:36.760 vote in the FCS polls. And remember we've seen FCS 0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:41.320 teams beat FBS teams multiple times. We saw Appalachian State 0:20:41.400 --> 0:20:44.800 did it when they were FCS. Montana beat Washington a 0:20:44.800 --> 0:20:49.920 few years ago. North Dakota State has beat teams Eastern 0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:54.159 Washington has come close as well. This is not a 0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:56.800 game that you can just roll your helmets out and win. 0:20:57.320 --> 0:20:59.879 And New Mexico is coached by Bronco Menden Hall for 0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:06.359 Virginia head coach, and he's trying to build this program up. 0:21:06.880 --> 0:21:10.119 But I am going to take Montana State in this 0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:17.600 game and that eleven points, yes, absolutely, I am taking them, 0:21:17.640 --> 0:21:20.240 plus the eleven points of the next game up, we 0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:24.360 got SMU and Nevada Now one of these teams we've 0:21:24.400 --> 0:21:27.600 already talked about in Nevada, who is going to be 0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:32.479 starting Brendan Lewis at quarterback. Now him throwing you know, 0:21:32.560 --> 0:21:35.760 two touchdowns over his last one hundred and thirty six passes. 0:21:36.280 --> 0:21:40.960 That ain't good, and Nevada is not looking like what 0:21:41.040 --> 0:21:43.400 you want to see out of this team right now, 0:21:43.480 --> 0:21:48.160 even though they're coached by Jeff Chop Because Rhett lastly, 0:21:48.840 --> 0:21:54.080 former offensive coordinator with Old Miss under Lane Kiffin, this 0:21:54.160 --> 0:21:56.000 is the guy that we got to pay attention to. 0:21:56.680 --> 0:21:58.719 This is the guy that we gotta pay attention to 0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:04.360 because Ratt is going to be a hot coaching name. 0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:08.080 People name that people are excited about. People are going 0:22:08.119 --> 0:22:14.679 to be paying attention because remember SMU is no longer 0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:18.880 a group of five teams. They are paying their own 0:22:18.920 --> 0:22:23.879 way in the acc they said, let us in for free, 0:22:23.960 --> 0:22:27.560 don't even give us media money, because we have a 0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:31.199 plan the SMU. I love this because this is the 0:22:31.200 --> 0:22:34.600 same SMU that got the death penalty that essentially ruined 0:22:34.600 --> 0:22:39.320 their college football program. And now they're pulling themselves up 0:22:39.359 --> 0:22:43.119 by their bootstraps and they're betting on themselves. They're betting 0:22:43.280 --> 0:22:47.320 hundreds of millions of dollars on themselves. They're like, we're 0:22:47.359 --> 0:22:51.720 gonna be able to do it. And it starts in 0:22:51.760 --> 0:22:55.919 They're favored by twenty seven points over Nevada. Give me 0:22:56.160 --> 0:22:59.080 SMU and them twenty seven points. They are going to 0:22:59.160 --> 0:23:03.960 be out to send a message every single week. And 0:23:04.080 --> 0:23:08.280 Nevada right now, with if Trooper party were starting at quarterback, 0:23:09.200 --> 0:23:12.120 might be closer to about a twenty one point victory. 0:23:12.440 --> 0:23:16.199 But with Brendan Lewis's history and with what's going on 0:23:16.280 --> 0:23:22.520 at Nevada right now, give me SMU minus twenty seven RTT. Lastly, 0:23:23.680 --> 0:23:25.600 all right, the next game up. We're not even sure 0:23:25.640 --> 0:23:27.600 if this last game is gonna happen. And this is 0:23:27.640 --> 0:23:31.400 Delaware State versus Hawaii, and you're like, George, why would 0:23:31.440 --> 0:23:35.800 this game not happen because Delaware State they missed today's 0:23:35.880 --> 0:23:40.080 ten and a half hour flight to Honolulu after a 0:23:40.200 --> 0:23:45.800 bus snaff fu to the JFK Airport. Now, this is 0:23:45.880 --> 0:23:53.680 a big school, small school program issue because on one hand, Alabama, Oregon, 0:23:54.359 --> 0:24:00.679 the USC, SMU, they can't miss flights because it's a flight. 0:24:02.560 --> 0:24:05.600 But Delaware State, who's getting paid to play this game, 0:24:06.800 --> 0:24:11.000 they are traveling commercial. Now, I don't know how many 0:24:11.040 --> 0:24:13.320 how you get that many seats on a commercial flight, 0:24:13.680 --> 0:24:17.000 and I don't know how you rebook for that, because 0:24:17.040 --> 0:24:21.320 that's a damn that's a lot of damn seats. You 0:24:21.440 --> 0:24:25.199 got hundreds of like one hundred plus seats on a 0:24:25.240 --> 0:24:31.960 plane that they missed the Honolulu So this is something 0:24:31.960 --> 0:24:36.240 that you got to watch and monitor because, yeah, because 0:24:36.359 --> 0:24:41.800 there are traveling contingencies that are playing a factor here. 0:24:42.760 --> 0:24:46.159 And but this is college football though, because you have 0:24:46.240 --> 0:24:50.280 Delaware State playing Hawaii, they're supposed to leave on a Tuesday. 0:24:50.560 --> 0:24:54.360 Get acclimated because the issue is is that this game 0:24:54.440 --> 0:24:57.760 is going to be to start at a weird time, 0:24:57.880 --> 0:25:05.120 eight point fifty nine Pacific, so that's midnight Eastern and 0:25:06.520 --> 0:25:11.680 what two o'clock three o'clock in the morning Hawaii time. 0:25:13.640 --> 0:25:17.080 In terms of what it's gonna look like for them, 0:25:18.960 --> 0:25:23.760 think about it East Coast time, Delaware State. They're gonna 0:25:23.760 --> 0:25:27.720 be playing at two three o'clock in the morning, kick 0:25:27.760 --> 0:25:34.200 off in Hawaii. All right, make it make sense, Make 0:25:34.280 --> 0:25:39.239 it make sense. I don't like, Yeah, Hawaii is a 0:25:39.280 --> 0:25:45.400 thirty nine point favorite, but give me Hawaii. This feels 0:25:46.000 --> 0:25:51.160 absolutely like some ridiculousness about to happen. This is a setup. 0:25:52.280 --> 0:25:54.920 The body clocks are gonna be off. This is there's 0:25:55.000 --> 0:25:57.960 no way to recover. This is gonna be terry. This 0:25:58.000 --> 0:26:00.000 is gonna be a blood bath, an absolute blood bath. 0:26:01.119 --> 0:26:03.520
