1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal holle. For me, I'm a man,

2
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: I'm forty.

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,079
Speaker 2: I've heard so many players say, well, I want to

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 2: be happy.

5
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: You want to be happy for day Edo State?

6
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 3: Is that?

7
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: Whoo whoo? And no Dan and tie Dan Rubinstein. We

8
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: called it screw it Saturday when we did our preview

9
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: on the Thursday episode. We had some teams assert themselves

10
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: in week eleven. We had others escape. We had others

11
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 1: who did quite literally screw things up for themselves. There's

12
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: also the story of our one true god, TJ. Latif

13
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: of Nebraska, who came in now that Dilan Royola is

14
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: out for the year, and started what ten of ten

15
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: in this game against end three.

16
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 2: Touchdowns and seventy yards Yeah, I think a couple long

17
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 2: touchdowns to Emma Johnson, who was having a terrific all

18
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: performance all purpose night. I have not watched a single

19
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 2: second of this yet, so I look forward to watching

20
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 2: this and speaking about it more on the Monday Tuesday

21
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 2: look Ahead Slash Extra Thoughts episode.

22
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: I've got it on in the background here. I'll keep

23
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: you posting if there is anything significant Nebraska leeds right now.

24
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: Welcome back, one and all. I'm ty he is Dan.

25
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: Week eleven is just about in the books, got a

26
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: couple of games still going on, but we do have

27
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: a lot to discuss. It was not one of these

28
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: weeks that we looked at in advance and said, Aha,

29
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: look at all these games, it's gonna be crazy. We

30
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: did not say that. There were a couple that we

31
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: were very excited about that we talked about in great detail,

32
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: But like a bunch of weeks throughout the course of

33
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: a college football season, we found ourselves just sort of

34
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: sitting back and waiting, Yes, let's see what happens. Let's

35
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: see how these things break. And we have a lot

36
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,160

44
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: at seven a m. Eastern time. Dan, one of the

45
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: things that kept bouncing around in my head, and we

46
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: could talk about this throughout the course of the next

47
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: hour or so, is the teams that I would like

48
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: to be after week eleven, now that we know what

49
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: transpired in week eleven, the teams that I would want

50
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: to be would want to root for, just given circumstances

51
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: and schedules and the ways that I think some of

52
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: these conference races could shake out moving forward. But what

53
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: was your big broad takeaway from what you saw in

54
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: week eleven before we start diving into games.

55
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: That it's possible for a quarterback who leads his team

56
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 2: in attempts to throw for two feet per attempt, as

57
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 2: Wisconsin's leading passer did in the stormy, stormy evening in Madison, Wisconsin,

58
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 2: in a winning effort. So Carter Smith threw four zero

59
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: point seven yards, and my rudimentary math is that that's

60
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: two sandwiches worth per attempt, two foot long subs. That

61
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 2: anything is possible, and screw it Saturday, that Yukon can

62
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 2: beat Duke and have it not affect the ACC race

63
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: at all. Of course, because it is a non conference matchup,

64
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: that we can have LSU looking frisky after firing a coach,

65
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: Auburn looking frisky after firing a coach.

66
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: Across this great.

67
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: Land you know Louisville beats Miami goes down to callen overtime.

68
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: That November is our chaotic month of the sport. And

69
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: frequently we get like the first playoff rankings that come out,

70
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 2: and people are like, well, here's the path for this team.

71
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 2: Here's what's going to happen when all these teams are

72
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 2: eleven and one, And every year we have to say

73
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 2: the same thing, which is just relax. Everybody's gonna eat

74
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: each other. It's great, and the feast has begun, Tyler,

75
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: The feast has begun, by the way you bring up

76
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: the Wisconsin win. Yeah, I am starting to believe, genuinely,

77
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 2: and it has taken me a while to get to

78
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 2: this point. Maybe I'm just spending too much time down

79
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: here in the basement talking to myself, talking to these walls,

80
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 2: talking to you. Likely, true, I am legitimately starting to

81
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 2: believe that I can influence the outcome of football games.

82
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: Okay, Like I tested it out this week to see

83
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: if I could jink so Ore again, and I did

84
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: because they didn't cover. We got an application to jinks

85
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: Washington and they lost outright to Wisconsin. I posted picks

86
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: out on Twitter or x the everything app whatever we're

87
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: calling it these days, right zhero to four on all

88
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: of those picks. It could just be that I am

89
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: starting to master the dark arts of the jinks that

90
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: truly it has taken me a lifetime to get to

91
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: this point, But truly it could be profitable if in

92
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: fact this is a continuing trend. So we're going to

93
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: keep doing it. No, I'm not going to jinx Notre

94
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: Dame next week against Pitt. We've had a couple requests

95
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: for that. I am not doing that to myself. But

96
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: if you have other teams that you would like me

97
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: to attempt this on, or if you've got a bet

98
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 1: or something sobverbal at gmail dot com, I'm now accepting applications.

99
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: You do need to make a donation to Locks of Love. Yes,

100
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: but it actually it worked. It actually worked in Wisconsin one. Yeah.

101
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 2: I mean, look, we're in the middle of the inauguration

102
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 2: of Fadraham Lincoln and here he is on the other

103
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 2: side of this this episode. So what are we doing?

104
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 2: Where are we starting? What to you jumps out? We

105
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: had a lot of close calls. Obviously earlier in the

106
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 2: day in the opening window, we had Penn State taking

107
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 2: Indiana to the finish line, and then Indiana decided to

108
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: win on what will likely be the best catch of

109
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 2: the season, if not the modern era. Given the circumstance,

110
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 2: given the given number one receiver being out, given the

111
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 2: literal millimeter that it took for Indiana to win this

112
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: game with a tow in the end zone.

113
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: I mean, that's where we have to start. That's where

114
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: we have to start, because out number two team. That

115
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: was the game of the early block. And yeah, it's look,

116
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: Indiana has had a charms season thus far. They did

117
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: last year. This season they're even better. And clearly, if

118
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: you take a look at what Vegas had to say,

119
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 1: they were a heavy favorite in this game. They're fourteen

120
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: and a half favorite going into Happy Valley, a Happy

121
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: Valley team that's you could argue, a shell of itself

122
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: without a quarterback, without their coach, many of the same players,

123
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: but still it's just they've lost five in a row,

124
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: or they had lost five in a row coming into

125
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: this game, no one was expecting a whole lot. What

126
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: we saw at Penn State was a much more inspired effort,

127
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: and they actually looked pretty good all things considered, thought

128
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,799
Speaker 1: Ethan Grunkemeyer. Acquitted himself pretty well. We saw some elements

129
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: of the run game, some of the running backs get

130
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: involved in the passing game, even some wide receivers get involved,

131
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: which you know, it took us to this point in

132
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: the season to get there. Trevor Pania had a really

133
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: nice game for Penn States. So I was watching this yelling, screaming,

134
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: not as loud as Gush Johnson, mind you, but just

135
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: enough to scare the crap out of the dogs with

136
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: pretty much every play that was going down. Towards the

137
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: latter half of this ballgame, Penn State scores late, they

138
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: hold on to a twenty four to twenty lead as

139
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: Indiana gets the ball back, and this materializes into an

140
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: Indiana win. Omar Cooper with an acrobatic toe tap touchdown

141
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: seven yards out thirty six seconds left, gives Indiana the

142
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: dub twenty seven to twenty four. That was after a

143
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: ten play eighty yard drive led by Fernando Mendoza in

144
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: just a minute and fifteen seconds. Speaking of heroics, so

145
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: this one, if you didn't watch the whole thing, it

146
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: ended up being like the last couple of minutes of

147
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: an NBA game where it just gets wild in a hurry,

148
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: and like if you catch the tail end of it,

149
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: you kind of have like the full idea of what

150
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: transpired and what the storylines are going to be. But

151
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: my takeaway was this could end up being a signature

152
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: moment for Indiana they go on to win the Big Ten,

153
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: if they go on to make some sort of run

154
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: in the playoff, it could end up being a signature

155
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: moment for Fernando Mendoza he ends up being a Heisman finalist.

156
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 2: Or for sure it already is, no matter what his

157
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 2: season is. Like the play that he made, which, by

158
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 2: the way, not to fully cut you off, but that's

159
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 2: what I do sometimes the penultimate play just in the

160
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: way that like some seasons of TV, it's the penultimate

161
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 2: episode that's the actual killer one. Fernando Mendoza gets absolutely

162
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 2: shelled as he's releasing it the play before and the

163
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 2: ball just sort of floats up in the air, and

164
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 2: you know, if that ball is two yards further towards

165
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 2: the end zone, the game's over. Yeah, right, that like

166
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: it's a play that happens, right. Indiana was fortunate and

167
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 2: Penn State was in an unfortunate position that the ball

168
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 2: went or didn't go where it could have gone, but

169
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 2: that was not Indiana's season. But that was the game

170
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 2: floating in the air, and it just happened to fall

171
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 2: into a safe spot for Indiana. And then Fernando Mendoza

172
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 2: through that unbelievable ball to Omar Cooper, who was not

173
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 2: a huge factor in this game, by the way, but

174
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 2: the biggest factor in the win arguably. But yeah, that's

175
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 2: you know, when you have these games are that tight,

176
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 2: it comes down to plays like that, it.

177
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: Does, and Penn State did a good job of getting pressure.

178
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: I mean even that touchdown throw at the end that

179
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: was off his back foot. You know, he wasn't really

180
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: able to step into that one. He just sort of

181
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: lolly popped it out there, and Omar Cooper made a

182
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: hell of a play on it to get the touchdown.

183
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: So look, unless you feel some particular affinity for Wisconsin

184
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: or Perdue down the stretch, Indiana is pretty much on

185
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: a globe path to get to twelve and oh to

186
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: get to that Big Ten title game, most likely against

187
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: Ohio State. I guess we need to see what transpires

188
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: the rest of the way. Clearly they're going to be

189
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: in the playoff as things stand right now, and it

190
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: just continues. If you're a a Hoosiers fan, it's been

191
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: a remarkable run here and this is frankly the type

192
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: of you know, late game grit that you want to see,

193
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: that you want to see. If there was any question

194
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: that Indiana could do this again, they did it against Iowa.

195
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 1: They do it again here against Penn State. Did it

196
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: against Oregon too, that game against the road, Yeah, right,

197
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: Like these games were all different in some regard, but

198
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: Indiana has now had a couple instances where we've asked

199
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: some new questions of them to see what they're really

200
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: made of, and they've come through in the clutch. So

201
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: I give them money credit.

202
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's great for Indiana right that there

203
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 2: are certain buttons you know how to push when it

204
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 2: comes to the Big Ten championship game, when it comes

205
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 2: to a playoff matchup, that you are in a tight

206
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 2: game against Ohio State or Alabama or take your pick,

207
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 2: and you have a certain amount of confidence because you

208
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 2: were able to do this on the road in these

209
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 2: specific spots, and Fernando Mendoza has come through time after time.

210
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 2: You don't want to be in this spot if you're Indiana,

211
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 2: given what Penn State hasn't been able to do recently,

212
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 2: And honestly, I kind of like the juice for Penn

213
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 2: State because whatever their future is, we've got Grunkemeyer completing

214
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 2: passes down the field. This is not a half offense.

215
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 2: Because there was the threat with Trevor Pana. I thought

216
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 2: Grunk looked pretty good. He made plays in a losing effort.

217
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 2: And obviously there's going to be a new regime in

218
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 2: State College, but that they're going to go into whatever

219
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 2: this new era is with just a little bit of juice,

220
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 2: right that this is not a locker room. This is

221
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 2: not a roster that has completely folded.

222
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 3: Right.

223
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 2: They were in it laid against Iowa, they were in

224
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 2: it laid against Indiana, and whatever the future holds, you know,

225
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 2: there's somewhat of a foundation going into the offseason.

226
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: And on the Penn State side, One other aspect that

227
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: has gone reported among some of the Penn State writers

228
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: that you know, many of whom we know personally. But

229
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: the storyline coming into this game was how little juice

230
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: many of the reporters were picking up in practice this

231
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: week when they talked to players, even the stadium before

232
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 1: the game. I had some people messaging me that it

233
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: was like a blue white game the spring scrimmage right

234
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: that it just it didn't feel like there was a

235
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: whole lot of juice around this game. And lo and behold,

236
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: they gave it their best. Still the agony continues for

237
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: the Penn State community. It's been like six straight weeks

238
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,719
Speaker 1: of stomach punches now since that Oregon game, and they

239
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: still have yet to beat a power for opponent in

240
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. That's not good, not ideal. It's we're

241
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: in the shadow of Thanksgiving. Yeah.

242
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 2: By the way, if the friendly folks at Tropicana, if

243
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 2: you're interested in who's going the juice from the solid

244
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 2: verbal not a sponsor could be tyne Ey are eager

245
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 2: to talk about all things juice.

246
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: Twenty seven to twenty four, A big boy win for

247
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: Indiana on the road in Happy Valley. Let's stay in

248
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: the big ten though. Let's go to Iowa City, Dan.

249
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: They were about eight minutes left in this one. Oregon

250
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: had a five point lead, Iowa was starting on their

251
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: own seven And I sent a note to you saying,

252
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: here's when Iowa puts together the seven minute drive that

253
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 1: steals your soul. Sure you did, can confirm and just

254
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: like that. Iowa had a twelve play ninety three yard

255
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: drive that ate up six forty five on the clock.

256
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: It's pretty good by you, and they came away with

257
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: a sixteen to fifteen lead with a minute and fifty

258
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 1: one seconds left. Like we were chatting throughout the course

259
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: of this game, and the sentiment that I was getting

260
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: from you was, Hey, Oregan's down as top four pass catchers.

261
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: They had some bad breaks. Obviously the weather was terrible,

262
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: but they did run the ball kind of at will.

263
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: They did, they smashed them. It felt like for a

264
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: good chunk of this game that they were the better

265
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: team out there, a great and my sentiment was mostly

266
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: the same, like Oregon ran for two hundred and sixty

267
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: one yards. But the ultimate question that I didn't really

268
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: address directly with you but was bouncing around in my

269
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: head was yeah, but where are the points? Right totally?

270
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: Where were the points?

271
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 4: Dan?

272
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: Where were the points?

273
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 2: They were not finishing those drives. Obviously, Dante More had

274
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 2: an early interception. It was a great play by an

275
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 2: Iowa dB throwing to like the sixth string receiver, true

276
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 2: freshman on that play. Again, not an excuse, great play

277
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 2: from Iowa, but that's where the points were. On that

278
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 2: specific drive, Dante more tripped over I think either his

279
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 2: center or the right guard's foot after an interior defensive

280
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 2: lineman got a quick push and there was a wide

281
00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 2: open tight end running in the end zone on that play.

282
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter.

283
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 2: The Iowa defense made the play on third and five

284
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 2: or whatever, and Oregon had to settle for three. They

285
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 2: weren't able to finish some of these drives on that

286
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 2: final drive, and Iowa dB held an open receiver who

287
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 2: burned him. That went uncalled. That's okay, it's going to happen.

288
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 2: You got to fight through. Everybody has penalties that don't

289
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 2: get called. So ultimately what happened was Mark Ronowski made

290
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 2: two or three terrific throws, terrific reads wide open a

291
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 2: couple of times. I think it was a tight end

292
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 2: once it was a receiver on a big play, and

293
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 2: Iowa was able to keep drives going. Oregon had some

294
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 2: untimely questionable penalties for my end, but obviously I'm a

295
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 2: biased narrator here. Iowa played in a huge game and

296
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 2: committed zero official penalties, so that's good. They're a team

297
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 2: that came into this game I think leading the nation

298
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 2: in lack of penalties, so it is on brand for

299
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 2: them to play very clean discipline football. But you know,

300
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 2: in a big game, zero penalties on offensive defense good

301
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 2: for them. And Oregon was unable to finish some of

302
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 2: those drives. They got great kicks from Atticus Sappington, their kicker,

303
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 2: including the game winner with basically no time left.

304
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: Is that his real name? I believe so, Atticus Sappington.

305
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: It sounds like a monopoly piece.

306
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 2: You know what, if he plays his cards right board

307
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 2: game reference, it just might be someday. And Oregon with

308
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 2: a gutty win, a really gutty win. They won the

309
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage. They won special teams, which sounds like

310
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 2: the Iowa formula, but Oregon went to Iowa City. Both

311
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 2: of the teams had to deal with the same bad

312
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 2: weather and Dante Moore through an absolute dime on that

313
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 2: final drive up the I think the the right sideline,

314
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 2: top sideline, whatever, I don't know where the ball was placed.

315
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: What are big balls throw? That was yes to.

316
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 2: Malik Benson, but yes, Oregon. Morgan was down their starting

317
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 2: right tackle. I'm sure Iowa was down key players as well,

318
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 2: starting right tackle. They're three leading pass catchers after Gary

319
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 2: Bryant went down early, and it was just a tough,

320
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 2: hard fought game. I came away very impressed with I

321
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 2: was resolve in this one. Without consistent offense, they weren't

322
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 2: able to get anything going on the ground, and Mark

323
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 2: Ronowski is a tough runner to bring down. He was

324
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:18,479
Speaker 2: able to extend drives with his legs, and Oregon was

325
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 2: ultimately the better team able to close out the game,

326
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 2: even though they weren't able to close out a number

327
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 2: of drives.

328
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: I can't always really impressed again with Dante Moore in

329
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: crunch time, and you know, we've seen it a couple

330
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 1: times this year out of him already. We saw it

331
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: first person when we were at the Penn State game,

332
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 1: the one that went into overtime, and just how the

333
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: crazy play he made when Oregon got the ball in overtime.

334
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: It does not seem and this is kind of a

335
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: trend for a lot of these young quarterbacks, these first

336
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 1: time starting quarterbacks. I guess Dante Moore is not a

337
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: first time starter, but first time full time starter with Oregon.

338
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: Let's say we look around college football and a lot

339
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: of these guys who have just gotten the reins this year,

340
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 1: they step in and I you know, I've talked about

341
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: it here before. They don't seem phased by some of

342
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 1: these big moments in crunch time. And Dante More, I think,

343
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: is a prime example of that. This is another instance

344
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: where he just seems very cool, calm and collected. He

345
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: knows what needs to go down. He's able to move

346
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: the ball quickly. It doesn't seem like there is any

347
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,719
Speaker 1: kind of panic, it doesn't seem like they're disorganized. It

348
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: seems as though, I mean, I guess that's a sign

349
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: of being well coached, but I also think that's something

350
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,959
Speaker 1: you can't teach, even if you practice it, having the

351
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 1: ability to like not play outside of yourself, stick in

352
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: the moment, be good at what you're good at, and

353
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: just use your skill set to move the ball down

354
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: the field. He's very good at doing that. Yeah, and

355
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: I was really impressed by him on a you know,

356
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: bad weather day, road environment against a really good defense.

357
00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:00,959
Speaker 1: Eighteen to sixteen was your final and true Iowa football fashion.

358
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 1: We had an eighteen sixteen game, but you know, more

359
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: to the point, like we just discussed with Indiana, these

360
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,239
Speaker 1: were two escapes against good teams or good defenses at

361
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,479
Speaker 1: least a great on the road, and it's hard to

362
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: come away from these games being anything other than impressed

363
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: for the victors.

364
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 2: I agree, it was not I ate a whole pizza

365
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 2: in the third quarter. I stress ate an entire pizza.

366
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 2: I still don't feel great intestinally at the moment, but

367
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 2: that's what these types of games do. By the way,

368
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 2: sidebar here. The broadcast was real tough, the CBS broadcast.

369
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 2: You know, I'm always going to be and we're always

370
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 2: going to be fans of our our new friend Jenny Dell,

371
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 2: who did a good job. You know, everybody's just like

372
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 2: soaking wet on the sideline. It's a whole mess. But

373
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 2: Garian and Brad and the booth, we're just doing a

374
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 2: whole lot of like, hey man, what a moment, and

375
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 2: like what are you saying? What are your thoughts? Yeah,

376
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 2: a little bit like goes crazy man, Okay, uh what

377
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 2: did you think it was?

378
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: A pi? Was there a hold on that play? Was

379
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: his foot in bounds?

380
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 3: No?

381
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: Just like, man, that was that was Who's to say.

382
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: The thing that I noticed is it seemed like they

383
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 1: got a little extra money for the drone budget. It

384
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: was like a Netflix movie, how they kept doing the

385
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: drone shots, yes, coming into and out of commercials and

386
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: sometimes in the middle of a series, like we don't

387
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: we don't need these drone shots. Of course, it's a

388
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: beautiful view in Kinnick Stadium. Is is an iconic venue

389
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: in college for sure. Okay, like I'm not this is

390
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 1: not anything against that, but it was like, why do

391
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: we keep showing the shots here? Yeah? Are we paying

392
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 1: this guy more than the day rate? And we got

393
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 1: to get our money's worth for the drone pilot. I

394
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: didn't understand that, but I'm with you. It was.

395
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 2: It was a tough broadcast, but ultimately I just am am.

396
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 2: I'm happy that organ was able to come out alive

397
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 2: and very impressed with how I was able to battle.

398
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: Speaking of IMPI Texas Tech twenty nine BYU seven.

399
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:09,479
Speaker 2: And Man and this was like kind of immediate with Like,

400
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 2: you watched two minutes of this game, You're like, I

401
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 2: think I have a good handle on what the rest

402
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 2: of these four quarters are going to look like.

403
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: It really was, it really was, that was my thought

404
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: while watching this. It was just that Texas Tech felt

405
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: head and shoulders better, and it really wasn't all that close.

406
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: And this was probably most obvious when Texas Tech was

407
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: on defense, because they just completely took away what Byu

408
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: wanted to do on the ground. Now, they did get

409
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: up enough where Byu had to put I think more

410
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: on the arm of Bear Bachmeier, but even still, I

411
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: thought they made him look a lot more like a

412
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: freshman quarterback. And he'll learn, he'll grow. He's obviously had

413
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: a very good season. He went up against a very

414
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 1: good Texas Tech team that's been solid defensively, in a

415
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 1: huge shift from what we're used to seeing from Texas Tech,

416
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: but they very much made him look like a freshman quarterback,

417
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: and by You really could not establish any kind of

418
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: momentum here against Tech. I was really impressed by Texas

419
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 1: Tech and how just how professional an effort it seemed.

420
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: This was, you know, there was no stress here. Oh yeah.

421
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 2: The thing that stood out to me was just the

422
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 2: Texas Tech front on defense, especially the offensive excuse me,

423
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 2: the defensive line, but the linebackers have been making plays

424
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 2: all year long, obviously Ben Robertson, Jacob Rodriguez making the

425
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 2: plays that they made, but it was just the BYU

426
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 2: front was just absolutely overwhelmed, including Bear Bachmeyer. And that's

427
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 2: okay because kind of everybody has been by Texas Tech's

428
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 2: defensive line, especially this season, which is why you go

429
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 2: out and overhaul a roster. And this is all a compliment,

430
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 2: by the way, this is all a compliment to Texas Tech.

431
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 2: They saw a need of improvement and they went out

432
00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 2: and did it. And they made Bear Bachmeyer look his size.

433
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying this to make fun of a

434
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 2: shorter quarterback, but he is a freshman. He will put

435
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 2: on weight, he will figure things out. They look like

436
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 2: they overwhelmed him.

437
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: Obviously.

438
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 3: L J.

439
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 2: Martin came back and he has been sort of the

440
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 2: heartbeat of that offense as well. He was unable to

441
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 2: do anything on the ground, and ultimately it was you know,

442
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 2: the BYU defense on the field as much as they were.

443
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 2: When you know, Baron Morton starts making plays, Cameron Dickie

444
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 2: starts making plays, the running game in general starts going

445
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 2: more and more, and the Texas Tech defense just getting

446
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 2: off the field consistently. And so came away super impressed.

447
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 2: I know game day was there. Patrick Mahomes was in

448
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 2: the crowd that you know, thirty seven cutaways to him,

449
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 2: He's earned it he's really good at football. Yeah, but no,

450
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 2: this was definitely like a very efficient way to silence

451
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 2: a team. I think BYU should finish the season strong.

452
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 2: They're not as good as Texas Tech, but it's seeming

453
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 2: more and more that very few teams are good for

454
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 2: the Red Raiders. Hope they finished strong because it's nice

455
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 2: to have measuring stick teams in these conferences, and with

456
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 2: what they were able to do finishing off Utah in

457
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 2: the close rivalry moment, they're answering a lot of questions

458
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 2: and they answered a big one with a bigger spotlight

459
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 2: on them today in Lubbock. So came away very impressed.

460
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: I mean, the only thing that I would push back

461
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: on bear Bachmeier is six to one and a half too,

462
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:24,679
Speaker 1: is he well, I don't know.

463
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 2: Does is the whole Texas Tech defensive line like seven

464
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 2: four three eighty for some reason?

465
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: They just it seemed that way the way that Texas

466
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: Tech played. Yes, they definitely made him appear smaller. He

467
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: also looks like he's ten years old. Maybe that's he

468
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: might be ten years old, but he's not a small

469
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: guy by any stretch. Fair. He was just overmatched in

470
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 1: this game against a better team, and I think you're right,

471
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 1: like this was a reality check for BYU. I agree

472
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 1: this is a compliment towards Texas Tech and what they

473
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: have built, but it is definitely not any kind of

474
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: slight for what BYU has done this year. It's been

475
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 1: a really good year for BYU. It's still a really

476
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: good team. I do not think the remaining schedule is easy,

477
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: but I do think they will be favored in all

478
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: of their games and if they win out. I tried

479
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: to do the math a little bit before we went

480
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: live here. Of course, this thing is subject change a

481
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: million times over. If they win out, there's a really

482
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 1: good chance they're going to get a rematch with Texas

483
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 1: Tech in the Big twelve title game. Sure you know.

484
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, because of what's going on

485
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 1: in the ACC, which we can talk about next. I mean,

486
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 1: I don't know how many playoff teams, how many playoff

487
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: spots are going to be out there for Big twelve teams,

488
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: but it's probably going to be more than we thought

489
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 1: at the start of the week. So if you're BYU,

490
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: if you're Utah, if you're Texas Tech, I think you

491
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 1: feel pretty good. Like I said at the very top

492
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: of the show, Which teams would I want to be

493
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: right now? I would definitely love to be Indiana given

494
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: what they've got left on their schedule. I would absolutely

495
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: be thrilled to be Texas Tech given what they've done

496
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 1: already and what I think they've still got on their

497
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: schedule here. I mean, there's a whole handful of teams

498
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: that you look at and you say, yeah, I would

499
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: love to be some of these teams right now, even BYU.

500
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: You know, it's a tough schedule, but if you do

501
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 1: what you need to do, you're going to find yourself

502
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: back in the thick of things before long. So I

503
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 1: give Texa Tech a ton of credit. Barring any kind

504
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 1: of wild upset text going eleven and one, they're playing

505
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: for the Big twelve. They're probably making the playoff. I

506
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,199
Speaker 1: think you can pencil them in right now, frankly, but

507
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to get ahead of myself because you know,

508
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 1: I have this jinxing quality, So let's not go there.

509
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: Let's just say twenty nine to seven was a pretty

510
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: damn good effort from the Red Raiders here.

511
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't hate to be Wake Forest complete a pass.

512
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess maybe sometimes we'll still win. Why

513
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 2: don't have any guys who are gonna hit doubles? Where

514
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 2: are we going next?

515
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: Let's go to wake Forest and Virginia next. Okay, okay,

516
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: Top fifteen team goes down. Uva lost sixteen to nine

517
00:26:56,119 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: to Wake Forest. Wake Forest gives the Who's their first

518
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: conference loss. Virginia came in ranked. Virginia came in in

519
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: control of their acc destiny. Wake's defense kept them out

520
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 1: of the end zone, held the playmakers in check of

521
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 1: note Chandler Morris got knocked out of this one in

522
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 1: the first half didn't help. But ultimately, I think Wake's

523
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: ability to survive in just an ugly way to capitalize

524
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 1: on special teams like these things had a cumulative effect

525
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: and taking in totality held Virginia down from really getting

526
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: any kind of momentum. And that was sort of the

527
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: story of this one. Like the single biggest play in

528
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 1: this game, perhaps the turning point, was a bouncing punt

529
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: that was returned eighty eight yards by Carlos Hernandez. That

530
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: was the game's only touchdown. It was in the third quarter.

531
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: That was the dagger, that was it, that was what

532
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 1: song momentum put this one out of reach. You have

533
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: games like this that end up being ugly. This was

534
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: one of them. And Wake just got the better of

535
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 1: Virginia by holding them down, by getting the best of

536
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: them on special teams, and you know, by by making

537
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 1: a commitment here I guess to winning ugly. Yeah. Absolutely.

538
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 2: Also the stat that was thrown around a bunch was

539
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 2: I think Virginia had fumbled it ten times this season

540
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 2: heading into the game and recovered all of them. They

541
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 2: lost three tonight. You know, the math is going to

542
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 2: bounce back as well. So really nice performance from Wake.

543
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 2: But yeah, as you mentioned, just nothing on offense and

544
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 2: scoring the way that they did.

545
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: And.

546
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 2: It doesn't it doesn't change anything about either one of

547
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 2: these teams seasons in general, as in terms of like

548
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 2: how successful we are viewing like this is like the

549
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 2: third fourth game we're talking about in November, Wake Virginia.

550
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 2: It's bonkers successful seasons from both of these teams, and

551
00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 2: they earned it.

552
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: Both teams were short of three hundred total yards. In effect,

553
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: this was like a kicking duel. We had some field

554
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: goals in the first half, we had the special teams play.

555
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: Either team could really finish drives, but it was sixteen

556
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: to nine. To your point, you know, UVa's not out

557
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: of this ACC thing. I mean, this definitely puts a

558
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: bit of a dent in their chances of getting to

559
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: that ACC title game. But there's a big game coming

560
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: up next week against Duke. Duke loss, by the way,

561
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: wasn't a conference game you talked about this at the top.

562
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: They lost to Yukon. Yukon, who could go nine and three.

563
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: Yukon's actually half decent, way better than most people realize.

564
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: But this game between Virginia and Duke next week is

565
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: gonna have a lot of significance on who ends up

566
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: playing for the ACC. So maybe there was a look

567
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: ahead here. Maybe it had something to do with Chandler

568
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: Morris getting knocked out. I'm sure that did not help.

569
00:29:53,760 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: But Wake gets the upset and Cal yeah, with an

570
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: upset of Louisville twenty nine to twenty six in overtime.

571
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 2: Nine twenty six in overtime. Cal goes for it on

572
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 2: fourth down, gets the win. A nice day through the

573
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 2: air for Jks and was it Jacob Dejesuss and Cal

574
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 2: going on the road. This doesn't happen in the hinter lens.

575
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 2: Louisville obviously without Isaac Brown struggles through the air with

576
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 2: Miller Moss to get any sort of pop and juice going,

577
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 2: and obviously incredibly disappointing if you're Louisville and Justin Wilcox.

578
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 2: I saw somewhere, I don't remember where. It may have

579
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 2: been our discord or something like you just save his

580
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 2: job yet again, the unkillable Justin Wilcox at Cal. But impressive,

581
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 2: absolutely impressive from Cal. And I mean Louisville, season's not over,

582
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,479
Speaker 2: but this is, you know, the appetizer.

583
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: In the ACC feast for sure, it is. The season

584
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: is certainly not over. They would need a lot to break,

585
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: I mean a lot to break for them to have

586
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: a shot at playing for the ACC. Oh, I know,

587
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: so I think I think for all intents and purposes,

588
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: some of those like higher level goals that they might

589
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: have had after beating Miami, those go out the window

590
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: with a loss like this. But yeah, this is all

591
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: three losable games, by the way, coming up for Louisville

592
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: and Clemson. Kentucky, who all of a sudden is like

593
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: undead zombie Kentucky blowing out Florida and I believe a

594
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: SMU to round out their schedule. Yeah, so it's it.

595
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: It's gonna get a little bit murky the deeper we

596
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: get into this thing. But you know, Louisville is still

597
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: a formidable team. They've still got some good wins, and

598
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: obviously what they did in Miami a couple of weeks

599
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: ago is going to have h It's gonna have a

600
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: pretty big impact on how things shake out in the ACC.

601
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 2: So, but if you're Louisville, you don't want to be like, yes,

602
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 2: we affect things, just more broadly speaking, No, no, So.

603
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: You don't want that. But I think we're probably at

604
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: the point because of this loss where some of those

605
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: aspirations are done. Sure, look they can't all be Yukon

606
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 1: Rice Beaten Duke. Yeah, not everybody can be Yukon. Now

607
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: what else jumped out to you? In Week eleven? Bill

608
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: Belichick won debl Sweney one. That's that's nice, just to yeah,

609
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: round out AC if we round out the ACC. We

610
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: had wins by Bill Belichick. We had a win by

611
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: Dabos Sweeney twenty four to ten over Florida State. Clemson

612
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: wasn't control the entire football game. They were control the

613
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: entire football game. Their defense looked really solid, especially in

614
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: the first half. They kept Florida State off balance. They

615
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: limited Florida State's scoring opportunities. Florida State struggled offensively for

616
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: most of the game, scored ten points, which was I

617
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: believe a season low for them. So this is a

618
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: really good job by the Clemson defense that has definitely

619
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: taken some arrows so far this season. Yeah. I thought

620
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: they acquitted themselves quite well. What else do we have here?

621
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: Miami did win, got off to a bit of a

622
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: slow start against Syracuse but ended up winning going away. Yep,

623
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: SMU one. And then I mentioned the Yukon Duke game.

624
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: I can just come back to that for a second.

625
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: This is actually a really good game, please, it was.

626
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: It was a really good game. So Yukon beats Duke

627
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: thirty seven to thirty four. Yukon goes up with about

628
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: two minutes left on a touchdown pass to skylor Bell.

629
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: Duke gets the ball back. They're driving to try and

630
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: tie it. Tell me if you've heard this one before.

631
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 1: Fumble game over. Yeah, this has sort of been the

632
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: story of Duke season, where they continue to find new

633
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: ways to shoot themselves in the foot. They did it

634
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: again here. Yeah, so maybe there was a little bit

635
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: of a letdown. Look ahead spot, right, they beat Clemson

636
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: a week ago, They've got the big one with Uva

637
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: on deck. I don't this is a on the road.

638
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: Maybe that had something to do with it. Maybe it didn't,

639
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: But Duke did it again where they found a way

640
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 1: to sort of do the funniest possible thing. Yeah.

641
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 2: I mean, look, they're in the game, they lose a

642
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 2: turnover battle three to nothing, and yet they're still in

643
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 2: the game at the end. Driving But yeah, Duke is

644
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 2: a it's an entertainment team, right that they're going to

645
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 2: play in all of these games that are super entertaining,

646
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:27,919
Speaker 2: and then there are going to be moments where they

647
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 2: have the what the second half against Illinois where it's

648
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 2: just repeated shots into the toes over and over and

649
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 2: over again and just needs to be cleaned up pretty quickly.

650
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: Let's go over the SEC and talk about the SEC X.

651
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: We've talked about everybody else. Yeah, let's decipher what went

652
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: down because we had a couple of big games that

653
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: were of doubt, right, we had the Georgia Mississippi State game.

654
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 1: Georgia ends up winning that one forty one. Buddy, They

655
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: stopped them. They stopped them.

656
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 2: It was a really performance from Georgia on the ground.

657
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 2: Nate Fraser had a big day. I thought the play

658
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 2: calling was really good. I just thought it was a

659
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 2: complete performance, and Mississippi State had just been allowing too

660
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 2: much on the ground and Georgia, you know, went straight

661
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 2: for the jugular.

662
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:20,399
Speaker 1: Mississippi State actually struck first here. They actually shoot first.

663
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: They put together a really solid fourteen play opening drive.

664
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: They were up seven zip right away, but that's when

665
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: the defense clamped down. After that opening touchdown, Georgia just

666
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 1: like stopped everything Mississippi State wanted to do. I think

667
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,320
Speaker 1: I saw they stopped him on like six straight possessions

668
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: after that opening score. They did give up garbage time scores,

669
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 1: but that was after the game was sort of out

670
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: of reach. At that point, I thought Georgia responded really,

671
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: really well, and I was really impressed by how they

672
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: just sort of put this one out of reach. They

673
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,800
Speaker 1: out gained Mississippi State by a five sixty seven to

674
00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 1: three to twenty two margin. They dominated time of basse essen.

675
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 1: They were seven of eight on third downs. They had

676
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: thirty first downs in this game. And I would just

677
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,800
Speaker 1: say more broadly, their offensive line looked really good. Sure,

678
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: they looked really good in this game. So a credit

679
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,800
Speaker 1: to Georgia for what they did. A credit to Texas

680
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 1: A and M for what they did. Wooh Texas A

681
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: and M. If you are watching the SEC, I don't

682
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,919
Speaker 1: care if you're an SEC fan or not. I don't

683
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 1: care if you're an A and M fan or not.

684
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: If you are watching A and M and you are

685
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: not getting the warm fuzzies, you're doing it wrong. Because

686
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: this is a team that is firing on all cylinders.

687
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,359
Speaker 1: It feels like they are getting better. What they did

688
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: in this game was damn impressive.

689
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 4: You know.

690
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: It was like whatever Miszoo threw at them, and Miszoo

691
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: had its own issues. Well Miszoo couldn't really throw they could, Yeah,

692
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 1: probably wrong phrasing for me, raising yeah, but like so

693
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: they got mad Zolas. They were obviously a bit hampered,

694
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: But just the ease with which Texas A and M

695
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: was able to assert its dominance in this game, it's

696
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: not only impressive within the context of the matchup, but

697
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: I think it's even more impressive within the context of

698
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: the conference and with the broader National Championship conversation. And

699
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 1: for all the jokes that we tell about A and

700
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 1: M finding a way to end up eating four every year,

701
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 1: and clearly they've been very good at doing they can't

702
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 1: not this year, Buddy, can't do it this year mathematically speaking, right,

703
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: and moving forward now as we start doing playoff rankings,

704
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: as we start filling out brackets and stuff like that,

705
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a legit championship contender. They have

706
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: not waivered. It's felt that way for most of the season.

707
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: But they just continue to impress me week in and

708
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: week out. Had a couple close games, right, It hasn't

709
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: been perfect the full way through. That's true for everybody,

710
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,879
Speaker 1: but this team truly feels to me like they're getting better.

711
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 2: Sure, I agree, there's an unbelievable amount of speed that

712
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 2: impressed me on both sides of the ball, and the

713
00:37:55,560 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 2: forcing of turnovers with the weird force fumble. It doesn't

714
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 2: mean Matt Zolos is not going to be good eventually.

715
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:09,280
Speaker 2: He was overmatched in this one, obviously. I actually really

716
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,240
Speaker 2: liked what Miszoo was able to do on the ground

717
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 2: in this one, all things consider, wasn't much of a threat.

718
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,320
Speaker 1: Jamal Rogers both good.

719
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 2: And that's like if you're gonna look at if you're

720
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,439
Speaker 2: gonna nitpick something about Texas A and M, it's sort

721
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 2: of weird slow starts like they had at times today,

722
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,919
Speaker 2: at times against LSU. Obviously things got out of hand

723
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 2: very quickly after the halftime break against LSU. But yeah,

724
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 2: Miszoo behaved like an elite running team should, and that's

725
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 2: been one area of concern for the Texas A and

726
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 2: M defense, that they can't allow some bigger runs and

727
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 2: to be pushed around a little bit on the ground,

728
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 2: but otherwise the confidence with which Marcel Reid plays, the

729
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 2: speed of all these guys Craver and Bussy and uh

730
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 2: casey concepcion, like I mean, Ruben Owens is busting out

731
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 2: long runs like they're just doing it in a variety

732
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 2: of ways. And this has been the sort of Mike

733
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 2: Elko calling card at A and M and beyond. It's

734
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,240
Speaker 2: just like seem just gets stronger over the course of games.

735
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 2: Their second halves are incredible, and so I don't know

736
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 2: who's taking advantage. If I mean, you can point to

737
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 2: a lot of things that Texas A and M or

738
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 2: that Texas excuse me, has done well. If you're looking

739
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 2: forward but running the ball has not been something that's

740
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,399
Speaker 2: super impressive. They may not be built specifically to take

741
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 2: advantage of where Texas A and M might be a.

742
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: Little bit vulnerable.

743
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 2: So to take this show on the road to a

744
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 2: tough place to play at Maszoo and immediately leave no

745
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 2: doubt once things got going, I mean, how do you

746
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 2: come away from this game anything but intrigued by what

747
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 2: A and M ceiling might be?

748
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 1: December January, Oh my gosh, I just I'm blown away.

749
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,359
Speaker 1: I'm blown away by how good this team looked in

750
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: week eleven and how good they have looked weak in

751
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: and week out. It just feels like they're getting better.

752
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: A and M's another one of those teams I would

753
00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:00,280
Speaker 1: love to be A and M. Right, well, sure, right, yeah,

754
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: even if you end up losing along the way maybe

755
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: to Texas in the rivalry game games in Austin, Right,

756
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 1: maybe you lose that game. Even if you lose that

757
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 1: game you finished eleven to one, you may still find

758
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 1: your way into the SEC title game, depending on what

759
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 1: happens otherwise. Right, worst case scenario, you're still in the playoff. Sure,

760
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:23,320
Speaker 1: I think A and M is one of these teams

761
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 1: all miss won forty five zip or something over to

762
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 1: the Citadel, you know, not just US Citadel to be

763
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: clear to Citadel with the article is yeah, forty nine nothing,

764
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 1: I believe. I don't even know what the right score is.

765
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 1: They killed them, it doesn't matter. Yeah, but I would

766
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: love to be A and M and Old Miss right

767
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: now in the SEC because Ole Miss outside of the

768
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: Egg Bowl to close out the year, which maybe could

769
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: get weird. Outside of that Old Miss, the schedule is

770
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: very manageable, and they're one of those teams I think

771
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: you could pencil in they're not going to play for

772
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,439
Speaker 1: the SEC title, but you can make a case that

773
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: that's who cares. They're still going to find their way

774
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: into a playoff. The probably going to be hosting a

775
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: first round game against a team that's beatable. So Ole

776
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:06,879
Speaker 1: Miss and A and M are in a really advantageous

777
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: spot right now, you know, both of which have continued

778
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,839
Speaker 1: to I think show that they're getting better as well.

779
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: In some way, shape or form. I've I've been really

780
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: impressed by both those sides. Alabama LSU twenty to nine

781
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 1: was a game? Was your final? Kind of Yeah? How

782
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: do we how do we describe this game?

783
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 2: Some super impressive plays from ty Simpson, but the offense

784
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 2: sort of had fits and starts. I'm not sure what

785
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,240
Speaker 2: to make of the Alabama offensive line at the moment,

786
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 2: Like protection seems inconsistent. They still haven't figured out a

787
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 2: way to work in the run consistently. One week they

788
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 2: can and then the next week it's gone again. I'm

789
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,800
Speaker 2: sure there's three to five throws that ty Simpson would

790
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 2: like back. And it's just a good game to have

791
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 2: some flaws but look really really good. Good because overall

792
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:05,439
Speaker 2: they're a much better team than LSU. But I don't

793
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 2: know having LSU's offensive line, having Garrettnusmeyer, who seems like

794
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:10,879
Speaker 2: he's been beat up all year and just just been

795
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,760
Speaker 2: seeing ghosts and he got pulled in this one for MVB.

796
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,399
Speaker 2: You know, I think it's a shame in this one

797
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:22,720
Speaker 2: that LSU's really impressive step forward on defense is being wasted.

798
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 2: Like the defense kept them in this game. They got

799
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 2: off the field, they made plays, but ultimately there were

800
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 2: just too many ways for Alabama to succeed. I don't know,

801
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 2: it just I just sort of came away sad for

802
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 2: LSU and happy for Bama that they're flexing new muscles.

803
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. And the LSU thing is kind

804
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 1: of interesting too, because LSU benched Garrett Nusmeyer yeah and

805
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: went to our guy, Michael van Buren. Yeah. So I

806
00:42:55,760 --> 00:43:01,240
Speaker 1: probably need to get my Kramer van Buren sounds ready

807
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,800
Speaker 1: if this is something that continues for the rest of

808
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 1: the season or for some period of time. I like him,

809
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 1: But it was a case of the LSU offense, I think,

810
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: having some opportunities not being able to convert. There was

811
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 1: like a huge drop late that comes to mind. I mean,

812
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:25,399
Speaker 1: it's we talked about the after Brian factor, right, What

813
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,399
Speaker 1: is his team going to look like now that Brian

814
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 1: Kelly is gone? Well, the play calling change at all?

815
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:34,800
Speaker 1: Will this team feel different now that Kelly's out of

816
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:39,720
Speaker 1: there and it's like Alex Atkins calling plays nine points

817
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 1: on offense? You know, I don't know if we got

818
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 1: the after Brian factor the way that we hoped, at

819
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 1: least from our content standpoint, right.

820
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 2: I mean, look, there's also on the other side. I'd

821
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 2: love to see. If we're talking about Texas A and

822
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 2: M getting stronger as the game goes on, we're also

823
00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 2: talking about an Alabama team. Did Albama score in the

824
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 2: second half of the Georgia win. To be clear, it

825
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 2: was a win, I don't think they did. I think

826
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,839
Speaker 2: they scored three points a gallis against LSU. They need

827
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 2: a furious comeback scoring what a couple touchdowns late against

828
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 2: South Carolina. I'd love to feel more confident in Alabama

829
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 2: heading into this home stretch, knowing that they were figuring

830
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,280
Speaker 2: out how to get stronger and have figured out ways

831
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 2: to adjust against quality defenses. I haven't fully seen that

832
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 2: this season. I think the defense is leading the way.

833
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 2: The Ty Simpson emergence has been terrific, but I still

834
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,280
Speaker 2: think this is like kind of a work in progress

835
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 2: in terms of game management and flow.

836
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe I'm wrong. I do want to

837
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: talk about the Florida Kentucky game briefly, but first we

838
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,720
Speaker 1: got to talk about Vandy beating Auburn in overtime. Oh man,

839
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 1: So this was a wild offensive shootout that came down

840
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 1: some clutch plays in the final minute in overtime, with

841
00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 1: again Diego Pavia stepping up as the hero. Right. This

842
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: was like a back and forth showdown. There was a

843
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: combined total of over eleven hundred yards. Dan Vanderbilt ultimately

844
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 1: is the one that pulls it out. They end up

845
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: winning this one forty five to thirty eight. I guess

846
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: you could say they keep their playoff hopes alive, if

847
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: that's something we even care about. But I think they

848
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:21,360
Speaker 1: are just a bit intoxicated because of the Vandy story

849
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: this year, with an eight and two record, being four

850
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 1: and two in the SEC, being way better I think

851
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 1: than many of us thought in the preseason, even on

852
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: the heels of what they did a year ago. This

853
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: has just been a remarkable season. The fourth quarter in

854
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: this game was great. It was a great watch. We

855
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 1: had a bunch of lead changes, We had plenty of

856
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 1: moments that were nerve racking. Vandy rallies from a ten

857
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: point deficit. We had Cedric Alexander scoring a touchdown that

858
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 1: put Vandy ahead by eight I think with eight minutes left,

859
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,839
Speaker 1: but then Auburn responds with a touchdown and a two

860
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 1: point conversion, ends up thirty eight thirty eight at the

861
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,439
Speaker 1: end of regulation. So the key moment in this one

862
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,839
Speaker 1: was what happened in overtime, which you've probably seen now

863
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: if you've watched any of the highlights. But Diego Pavi

864
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:13,240
Speaker 1: ends up connecting with Cole Spence four yard touchdown pass

865
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 1: that ends up sealing the win. Auburn then can't convert

866
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 1: when they get a chance at it fourth and seven

867
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:23,840
Speaker 1: that ends the game. But the story of this one,

868
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 1: outside of that moment where Pavius scores or throws the

869
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 1: touchdown pass to Cole Spence, it's Diego pavia He had

870
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 1: four hundred and seventy seven total yards and four total touchdowns. Dan, Yes,

871
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 1: you know it. We've seen this now a couple different

872
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 1: times with him, where you don't always know how he's

873
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 1: gonna make his presence felt. You know, maybe in this

874
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 1: one it was a little bit more apparent, But I

875
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 1: think back to a game a couple of weeks ago, right,

876
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,399
Speaker 1: Like you don't always see it right away with him,

877
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:55,959
Speaker 1: but he just sort of like grows into a game

878
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 1: in a way that you can't teach, and that makes

879
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 1: him really really Dangerou is somebody in the other sidelines,

880
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:05,720
Speaker 1: Like he just find finds a way, finds a weird

881
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: crevasse to work his way in and impact the game

882
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:10,839
Speaker 1: in a really serious way.

883
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 2: Part of me is convinced, I mean, he has convinced

884
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:17,720
Speaker 2: me with how good he is that he only knows

885
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 2: between three and seven plays in the playbook, and if

886
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 2: those plays are called, he's gonna nail him. But otherwise

887
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 2: he's like, I don't know what they just called. Let's

888
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 2: let's go do something weird and it usually works. I mean,

889
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 2: the defenses were nowhere in this game to be found.

890
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:37,959
Speaker 2: I do have a sidebarring about cam Coleman. By the way, Man,

891
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 2: why'd you go to Auburn? I mean I understand that,

892
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 2: like in a weird way, in a backwards way. It

893
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 2: helps to spotlight just how good he is because of

894
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 2: how disadvantaged the Auburn offense has been these past couple

895
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 2: of years with Peyton Thorn and Jackson Arnold and Hugh Freeze.

896
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:55,879
Speaker 2: And I don't know, it's been a bad situation. He's

897
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 2: so damn good, he's so ridiculous.

898
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, he's good. There's definite potential there.

899
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 1: But he still has weird drops and he does.

900
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 2: But like, I don't know, man, think about if you

901
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 2: are hosting a podcast with somebody who was just a

902
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 2: crazy wild card all of the time and you could

903
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 2: never get in a rhythm. Oh wait, you already right,

904
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:22,319
Speaker 2: So I'm holding you back in the way that the

905
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:26,919
Speaker 2: planes hold back. Camp Coleman is what I'm certain of now,

906
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 2: he the best of Cam Coleman is absolutely all American

907
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 2: first round. You know, there is concentration stuff that he had.

908
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 2: What was it to drop against? Was it Oklahoma?

909
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:37,319
Speaker 3: Right?

910
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 2: But whatever, I h I'm willing to look if if

911
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 2: there's such a cool factor with you that makes me

912
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 2: forget about some you know, less than ideal circumstances, you

913
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 2: can do wrong, No wrong by me. So Camp Coleman

914
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 2: is incredible and I love him. Yeah, Diego Pavia though,

915
00:48:57,520 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 2: when you have Diego Pavia on your team, you are

916
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:01,319
Speaker 2: always going to have that chance. And when Vandy went

917
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,439
Speaker 2: tempo in this game, Look, we're still dealing with an

918
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:07,360
Speaker 2: Auburn team with Dj Dirkin interim coach, and you know,

919
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 2: vibes are all over the place. But when Vandy went

920
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:12,280
Speaker 2: tempo in this game, they were just on roller skates

921
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 2: and it was a really smart decision. Good for Vandy.

922
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 2: Fun back and forth. This was an Ashton Daniels game,

923
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 2: by the way, for Auburn, who made a ton of plays.

924
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 2: I was gonna say he was with his feet and

925
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:24,439
Speaker 2: his arm. He was impressive at times in this game.

926
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, No really.

927
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 2: Deserves all the Flowers as well. But yeah, good for Vandy.

928
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:31,720
Speaker 2: Whatever their their their high aspirations are for the season

929
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:32,360
Speaker 2: are still alive.

930
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not a Heisman voter. I know

931
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:38,919
Speaker 1: a bunch of Heisman voters. I'm not one of them.

932
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:42,399
Speaker 1: I would be very curious to talk to some people

933
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:46,799
Speaker 1: who are to get their read on Pavia, you know,

934
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 1: because a lot of times the guys that get invited

935
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 1: to New York, they're on teams that are playing for

936
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 1: something of real merit, you know. And I don't I

937
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 1: mean not to say Andy isn't. I don't know where

938
00:49:57,120 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 1: Vandy's going to end up. They're doing the sec to

939
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 1: said and done. No, no, no, it's been It's like I said,

940
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:07,919
Speaker 1: it's been an incredible season. I think, completely separate from

941
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:10,480
Speaker 1: the win loss record, from whatever the stakes are that

942
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 1: vand ends up playing for at the end of the year.

943
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 1: I don't see how he can't put this guy in

944
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 1: New York. You know, he was a story of last year.

945
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,840
Speaker 1: He's one of the top five stories this year. He

946
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 1: is fun to watch. He has captured everyone's imagination. He

947
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 1: is putting the team on his back weekend and week out.

948
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:32,840
Speaker 1: This is an offense built almost entirely around him. I

949
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 1: don't see how you cannot put this guy in New York,

950
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:40,399
Speaker 1: especially with a very muddled Heisman field. You know, there

951
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 1: are no clear cut favorites.

952
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:44,239
Speaker 2: I don't know at this point. We can have a

953
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 2: Fernando Mendoza conversation, we can have a Juliansane conversation, we

954
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 2: can have a Joe Fannano quarterback at Yukon conversation.

955
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 1: Seventh year, are any of those guys far and away

956
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:57,760
Speaker 1: the favorite to win the award?

957
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 2: I mean not as as Wisconsin's winning with Carter Smith

958
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 2: going three of twelve for eight yards.

959
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 1: I just don't think like in previous years. Yeah, we're

960
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:11,359
Speaker 1: in the spot here in November where we can say, oh, yeah,

961
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 1: that's the guy who's probably gonna win. That's true. We

962
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 1: have no idea. And I think Pavi has got as

963
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 1: good a case, if not better. Okay, and I think

964
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:21,920
Speaker 1: you should be there.

965
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:25,800
Speaker 2: It's a it's a good year for do everything type

966
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 2: guys like Aller, like Haines King at Georgia Tech. Right that, Like, yeah,

967
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 2: they're almost more MVP than Heisman like their value to

968
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 2: their specific teams seems more pronounced than ever.

969
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 1: And I think that's worth honoring. However, we can come,

970
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 1: you know, mid December. All right, let's talk through the

971
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 1: Big twelve real quick. We had Houston winning thirty to

972
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 1: twenty seven over UCF earlier in the week. We had

973
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:55,720
Speaker 1: special uniforms and special uniforms for UCF their first loss,

974
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,759
Speaker 1: by the way, in nine attempts. Right where in the

975
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 1: space U uniform. Yeah. We had West Virginia beating Colorado.

976
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: We had Iowa State edging out TCU twenty to seventeen.

977
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:10,799
Speaker 1: We had Arizona coming back and winning twenty four to

978
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 1: twenty over Kansas.

979
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 2: Wild Day in the Big twelve? Did Iowa State? I

980
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 2: saw this game on and off on the second screen

981
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 2: during the Oregon Iowa game, went back and forth with TCU,

982
00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:25,719
Speaker 2: who was wearing like the blood frog. Look the red

983
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:28,279
Speaker 2: and purple that screws up your eyes. I know, I

984
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:29,399
Speaker 2: could barely watch this game.

985
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:30,360
Speaker 1: It was giving me a headache.

986
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, the tie has this is not specific to TCU,

987
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:37,799
Speaker 2: TY has issues with red and green visually. It was

988
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 2: this is hard Cornia.

989
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 1: I couldn't even watch it. I'm sorry to hear it.

990
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:45,800
Speaker 2: It's this and it's like when Baylor wears the green shade.

991
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 2: That is grass. That's real tough for you too. But no,

992
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 2: I think I want to say Iowa State basically clinched

993
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:54,280
Speaker 2: this game. I was a punt return touchdown.

994
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was in the fourth quarter, so they were

995
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 1: down seventeen to six with about thirteen min left, right,

996
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 1: and through some combination of Carson Hanson and yeah, the

997
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 1: seventy nine yard punt return from Aiden Flora with a

998
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,799
Speaker 1: minute and a half left, that was how they ended

999
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 1: up winning this one. They came from behind, they were

1000
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 1: trailing big down eleven. They end up scoring fourteen on

1001
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 1: the answered to win twenty to seventeen. Yeah.

1002
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:24,719
Speaker 2: Now wild. The Kansas Arizona game was almost too chaotic

1003
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 2: to watch. A lot of it was just a lot

1004
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:29,879
Speaker 2: of busted plays. It was a lot of lead changes late.

1005
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:33,840
Speaker 2: But honestly, very good of Arizona, who has struggled at

1006
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 2: times this season to finish winnable games to beat, to

1007
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:39,920
Speaker 2: beat a Kansas team that was given them all they

1008
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:42,840
Speaker 2: could handle. And Arizona, I don't know, they have a

1009
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 2: tasty November. Let's call it in front of them to

1010
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 2: have a really nice turnaround here.

1011
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:52,839
Speaker 1: The only other thing that I'll offer on the I

1012
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 1: guess Big twelve side is that we got to see

1013
00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:59,279
Speaker 1: Juju Lewis from Colorado. Colorado didn't ye.

1014
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:01,960
Speaker 2: He saw highlights of him, but it looked like he

1015
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 2: was hitting some shots down.

1016
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 1: He looked really good. Good two nine, two touchdowns, no picks.

1017
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:11,719
Speaker 1: He looked really good. Stepping in for Caden Salter and Colorado,

1018
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:15,280
Speaker 1: I think is officially not going bowling now. That is correct,

1019
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:16,360
Speaker 1: That is correct.

1020
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,880
Speaker 2: So yeah, that rounds out the Big twelve. Was there

1021
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 2: anything in the SEC.

1022
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:23,719
Speaker 1: Week we forgot Kentucky Florida? I was gonna say, I

1023
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 1: want to talk about Kentucky Florida. What's up with Kentucky

1024
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 1: right now? What is going on with these guys? I

1025
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:34,359
Speaker 1: think Cutter Bowley's got a little bit of juice. I

1026
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 1: think so too.

1027
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 2: He's young, but I don't know there's a spark there.

1028
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 1: What is going on with Kentucky. There's zombie Kentucky. I

1029
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 1: don't have to have the sound. It's not Kentucky, but

1030
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: that's my Bama, zombie Bama. But we can play it here.

1031
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:50,919
Speaker 1: For Kentucky. They look pretty good.

1032
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 2: They looked good. Dante Daldell hit a couple of big

1033
00:54:55,160 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 2: runs and I mean, look we're talking about like after

1034
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 2: Brian factor for LSU and the after Hugh factor. We

1035
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,640
Speaker 2: talked about how this was maybe a letdown spot for

1036
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 2: Georgia because it was let down look ahead, what Georgia has.

1037
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 1: Texas next week? I want to say, but man was

1038
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 1: in a letdown spot for Florida in this one.

1039
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 2: DJ Lagway was all over the place. I need to

1040
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 2: watch this game more closely. I was flipping back and

1041
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:25,839
Speaker 2: forth then, but he got benched. It was a true

1042
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:27,880
Speaker 2: freshman who came in, and I want to say, he

1043
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:32,239
Speaker 2: was benched within like three minutes of Garrett Nussmeyer, like

1044
00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 2: when you had the split screen Baseball wild card stuff

1045
00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:39,440
Speaker 2: going on. It was like, okay, which extremely herald at

1046
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 2: SEC quarterback is.

1047
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:41,359
Speaker 1: Really going to up?

1048
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:44,759
Speaker 2: No, they're both benched. Okay, So we had that. But yeah,

1049
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 2: that's another game I'm interested in watching closer because Kentucky

1050
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:49,040
Speaker 2: making some noise.

1051
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:51,480
Speaker 1: Making a little bit of noise all right over in

1052
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 1: the Big ten. Just to sort of round things out,

1053
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 1: we had USC winning thirty eight seventeen over Northwestern. The

1054
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 1: story of this game was not that the one. It

1055
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 1: was the fake punt, oh, the illegal fake punt.

1056
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 2: As it turns out is it allegacy that so okay,

1057
00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 2: paint the picture. And then Bruce Felbn wrote an article

1058
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:12,400
Speaker 2: about this. He talked to Mike Breyer and he explained

1059
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 2: why it's illegal. Continue USC ran a fake punt. It

1060
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:21,399
Speaker 2: involved their third string quarterback, Sam Heward. Okay, Now, if

1061
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 2: Sam Heward were out there wearing his normal number, you'd

1062
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 2: like to think that through scouting and through their prep work,

1063
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:30,799
Speaker 2: they would have seen it coming a mile away, that

1064
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 2: there was some sort of fake. As it stands, Sam

1065
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:40,040
Speaker 2: Heward changed his number this week to number eighty, So

1066
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 2: apparently he changed it three weeks ago for nobody noticed

1067
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 2: it because he's the third string.

1068
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: Quarterback, all right, So at some point before, yeah, they

1069
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:52,520
Speaker 1: ran this play, he changed his number to eighty, which

1070
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:56,840
Speaker 1: is also the same number as their punter, which allowed

1071
00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:58,960
Speaker 1: him in this game, which, by the way, if you

1072
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:00,239
Speaker 1: have a play like this, I don't know why you

1073
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 1: use it on Northwestern, but okay, whatever, Sure they chose

1074
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:06,960
Speaker 1: to run a fake punt where they throw Sam Hewart

1075
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:11,400
Speaker 1: out there in place of their punter, Sam Johnson. Obviously

1076
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:14,080
Speaker 1: he's got the same number. Nobody sees it coming. The

1077
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 1: punt works. Everyone's talking about it, us he goes on

1078
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 1: to win by twenty one points. Us He's got Iowa

1079
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 1: next week. That'll be damn interesting. We're obviously gonna have

1080
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 1: to talk about that one.

1081
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:28,560
Speaker 2: In LA, right in LA. But back to the fake punt. Okay,

1082
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 2: back to the fake punt.

1083
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 1: What did Bruce? What did Mike Perera have to say

1084
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 1: about this? I have not read anything, but my takeaway was,

1085
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 1: how is that legal?

1086
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:42,360
Speaker 2: So you can't play two different players wearing the same

1087
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 2: number at the same position in a game. So because

1088
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 2: Sam Sam Johnson that's the regular punter correct also wears eighty,

1089
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:56,760
Speaker 2: no team can play two number eighties at punter in

1090
00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 2: the same game.

1091
00:57:57,760 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 1: How are you supposed to know that? Though?

1092
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:02,960
Speaker 2: As an official, I don't know how you're supposed to

1093
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 2: know that, especially because like as an official or as

1094
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:09,440
Speaker 2: you know somebody who's a spotter for Northwestern, how are

1095
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:11,800
Speaker 2: you supposed to look inside the helm to be like,

1096
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 2: that's not Sam Johnson, that's Sam Hillard, that's a hood,

1097
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 2: Like that's the rule. That's the rule USC broke. Obviously

1098
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 2: in the moment, it's a nearly impossible rule to enforce

1099
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:27,960
Speaker 2: unless there is some sort of obvious physical difference between

1100
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 2: the two players. But yeah, Lincoln Riley talked about that.

1101
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 2: David Bron talked about how he didn't think Lincoln Riley

1102
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 2: had called a fake punt since like twenty seventeen, and

1103
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 2: he was like, now, I guess I gotta go through

1104
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 2: every issued roster with a fine tooth comb to notice

1105
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:48,440
Speaker 2: any irregularities. So it was illegal. It wasn't a huge like,

1106
00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 2: it wasn't a huge gain or a ten yard right,

1107
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:55,360
Speaker 2: But I think the bigger story is this was a

1108
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 2: spot for USC coming off of a close win on

1109
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 2: the road against Nebraska. Not a close win, but an

1110
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:07,920
Speaker 2: impressive win all things considered against the Nebraska defense, that

1111
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:10,280
Speaker 2: they were able to come home short week Friday night

1112
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:14,040
Speaker 2: and start out a little bit sluggishly back and forth Northwestern.

1113
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:16,320
Speaker 2: I think it was fourteen all or seventeen fourteen or

1114
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 2: something near the half, and exploded in the second half.

1115
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:22,520
Speaker 2: King Miller had a good game, Mikayle Lemon always has

1116
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 2: a good game, it seems, and he went off. He

1117
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 2: was absolutely, you know, a continued dude for USC, and

1118
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 2: the defense clamped down in the second half in a

1119
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:35,080
Speaker 2: much more impressive way. But yes, weird, fake punt illegal,

1120
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:37,160
Speaker 2: But here we are, well.

1121
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 1: It's only illegal if you get caught, and they didn't.

1122
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:42,160
Speaker 1: That's also true thirty eight to seventeen. I As we said,

1123
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:44,320
Speaker 1: we'll be talking about that Iowa game coming up here

1124
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:48,200
Speaker 1: one of our two episodes this week elsewhere in the

1125
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:50,840
Speaker 1: Big ten Ohio. It took a little bit for Ohio

1126
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 1: State that yet going, but once they Yeah, no Carnel Tait,

1127
00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:56,479
Speaker 1: no carneal Tate in this one. Yeah, it was three

1128
00:59:56,680 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 1: zip in favor of Perdue after the first quarter, but

1129
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:01,160
Speaker 1: after they got going, and it like the story of

1130
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 1: this one was pretty much the same story as most

1131
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:07,200
Speaker 1: Ohio State games, where Julian saying where Jeremiah Smith are

1132
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 1: basically unstoppable. The ground game continues to show real growth.

1133
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:13,760
Speaker 1: I think they had something like one hundred and seventy

1134
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 1: yards on the ground, so it's it seems as though

1135
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 1: they are starting to add some load there and get

1136
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:20,400
Speaker 1: a little wit I saw on the ground.

1137
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 2: I saw some complaints about at least portions of the

1138
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:27,120
Speaker 2: Ohio state line, but I think this is a fan

1139
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 2: base that can afford to nitpick in that way that

1140
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:33,520
Speaker 2: perhaps others can't, because Ohio State still looks like world

1141
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:39,120
Speaker 2: beaters at the moment though, schedule wise, nobody has a

1142
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 2: roster and a situation on this schedule, perhaps until that

1143
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:47,080
Speaker 2: final week to really offer a measuring stick situation. So

1144
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:49,920
Speaker 2: we'll see. You know, you'd like to be tested if

1145
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:53,280
Speaker 2: you're an Ohio State fan or not a fan, but

1146
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 2: you'd like to see your favorite team be tested a

1147
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 2: little bit to see how they respond against a team

1148
01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:01,440
Speaker 2: with a higher ceiling ahead of December January matchups.

1149
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 1: But you know, nothing they can control. Wisconsin did get

1150
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:08,240
Speaker 1: a win. Wisconsin got a win. They won with forty

1151
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 1: eight passing yards. Their longest pass of the day was

1152
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:15,840
Speaker 1: a twenty four yard or on a fake punt. Not great, Bob,

1153
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:17,960
Speaker 1: not great in terms of offense, but it was a

1154
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:21,600
Speaker 1: weird weather situation in Madison as well for both teams.

1155
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:26,800
Speaker 1: For both teams. Yeah, Danny O'Neill was the latest Wisconsin

1156
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 1: quarterback to go out with injury. He got carted off

1157
01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 1: in the first quarter. They just have no quarterback luck

1158
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 1: right now. But they do find a way to get

1159
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:38,720
Speaker 1: this one done. And again I had jinx Washington just

1160
01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 1: to see if it would work, and my apologies to

1161
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:44,120
Speaker 1: the Huskies out there, but it appears as if I'm

1162
01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 1: better at this than I thought, So thirteen to ten

1163
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 1: was your final.

1164
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:50,200
Speaker 2: We were beat up as well. To be Claire Washington.

1165
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:53,440
Speaker 2: There a bunch of injuries to key players, especially on offense,

1166
01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:57,720
Speaker 2: but Demon Williams just could not find room, could not

1167
01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:03,600
Speaker 2: find passing lanes, and Wisconsin was harassing this Washington offense

1168
01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:06,640
Speaker 2: for much of this game, again in soggy, inclement weather.

1169
01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:10,200
Speaker 2: I don't know what Washington's deal is on the road.

1170
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:12,280
Speaker 2: I mean, same with USC to a certain extent. They

1171
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 2: got over that a little bit with their Nebraska win

1172
01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:17,040
Speaker 2: last week, but this one, I don't know if it's

1173
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:20,000
Speaker 2: a Jetfish thing. I don't know if it's just a

1174
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 2: general internal vibe thing. I mean what, they didn't score

1175
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:27,000
Speaker 2: a touchdown for three quarters at Maryland, who I believe

1176
01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 2: just lost to Rutgers. You can in fact check me

1177
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:32,800
Speaker 2: on that. Also in the Big Ten, struggled against Michigan,

1178
01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:35,120
Speaker 2: I think, held without a score for three of those

1179
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:37,680
Speaker 2: four quarters. Obviously at home against Ohio State struggled, but

1180
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:41,720
Speaker 2: that's you know, everybody's going to do that. I don't

1181
01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:45,160
Speaker 2: know if Jedfish just like brings the wrong chargers, prints,

1182
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:47,480
Speaker 2: the wrong boarding passes. I don't know, what's going on

1183
01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:50,240
Speaker 2: with this Washington team on the road, but they do

1184
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:53,880
Speaker 2: not have any concept of how to leave the Pacific

1185
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 2: Northwest and maintain quality.

1186
01:02:57,480 --> 01:03:01,120
Speaker 1: You mentioned the Rutgers game. Yeah, I don't need to

1187
01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:04,520
Speaker 1: talk too much about the Rutgers game. Okay, Rutgers one

1188
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:07,000
Speaker 1: thirty five to twenty over Maryland. I just want to

1189
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:11,240
Speaker 1: give a shout out to the Rutgers running back who

1190
01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:14,320
Speaker 1: went forty one carries two hundred and forty one yards

1191
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 1: and lot of work two one hundred and forty yards.

1192
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:21,080
Speaker 1: It's the most in the Big Ten this season, the

1193
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:24,800
Speaker 1: third highest in the country this year, behind Cameron Dickie

1194
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:29,160
Speaker 1: of Tech Texas Tech and Mott Hardy of Miszoo. So

1195
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:31,760
Speaker 1: uh good on him. He should get one of our

1196
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:33,440
Speaker 1: dud alerts. A little bit later on in the show,

1197
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 1: Rutgers does need to steal a win against either Ohio

1198
01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:39,000
Speaker 1: State or Penn State if they want to get the

1199
01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:42,800
Speaker 1: six wins. More likely that will happen against Penn State

1200
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:46,240
Speaker 1: than Ohio State, but who the hell knows.

1201
01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:52,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's yeah, So Maryland's at five and yeah, Penn

1202
01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 2: State Ohio State. Yeah, more likely Penn State than Ohio State.

1203
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:56,880
Speaker 1: That's right. That's right, man.

1204
01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:58,800
Speaker 2: I don't know what kind of conversation there is to

1205
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:00,800
Speaker 2: be had about Maryland. I know they're starting a ton

1206
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:03,840
Speaker 2: of younger dudes, but the whole thing, we're just like

1207
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 2: winning in September, losing five straight including to UCLA, right

1208
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:13,960
Speaker 2: Maryland to Ucla, and then like other good teams, Washington, Nebraska,

1209
01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:17,960
Speaker 2: Washington came back. Nebraska was close, but they should have

1210
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:22,000
Speaker 2: won that game. Indiana was not close. Like as soon

1211
01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:24,160
Speaker 2: as Mike Loxley has to put on a windbreaker, it

1212
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:27,520
Speaker 2: all leaves. As soon as October hits.

1213
01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:32,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, ah weird. Okay. The only other

1214
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:36,560
Speaker 1: result here in the Big Ten was Nebraska beating UCLA

1215
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 1: twenty eight twenty one. We didn't that's final. We'd have

1216
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:40,440
Speaker 1: a chance to watch that because we're doing this, but

1217
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:42,440
Speaker 1: we'll loop back on that one to see if there

1218
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:45,600
Speaker 1: are any storylines that are of note, and to bring

1219
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:48,440
Speaker 1: this thing home and to just be complete in all

1220
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 1: of our coverage here. Notre Dame one going away forty

1221
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:53,960
Speaker 1: nine to ten over Navy. I watched the whole game.

1222
01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 1: Notre Dame did whatever they wanted against Navy. Saw that.

1223
01:04:57,520 --> 01:05:00,640
Speaker 1: So if you're again speaking to which teams would you

1224
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:02,280
Speaker 1: like to be You'd really like to be Notre Dame

1225
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:04,080
Speaker 1: right now, they do have the game next week on

1226
01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:07,320
Speaker 1: the road at Pitt. I am mildly terrified of that

1227
01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:09,240
Speaker 1: game because I think Pitt's really good through the air.

1228
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:12,040
Speaker 1: I think Pitt's been playing decent defense. I actually think

1229
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:13,680
Speaker 1: that'll be a better test for Notre Dame. So I'm

1230
01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 1: curious to see what they look like. Plus that one's

1231
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:18,960
Speaker 1: on the road. But that aside. Notre Dame schedule, the

1232
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:21,640
Speaker 1: rest of the way is very manageable, and provided they

1233
01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:24,040
Speaker 1: take care of business and continue to show out the

1234
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:26,320
Speaker 1: way they've been shown, they should be fine. They should

1235
01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:28,080
Speaker 1: just gradually work their way up in the polls. They'll

1236
01:05:28,120 --> 01:05:30,440
Speaker 1: be part of this conversation. What I do think is

1237
01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 1: way more interesting, though, is what's going on in the

1238
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:34,560
Speaker 1: group of six. I was gonna say, we got to

1239
01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:39,640
Speaker 1: talk some American football. The American specifically is gonna get

1240
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:41,680
Speaker 1: real weird. So there was a game earlier in the

1241
01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:46,440
Speaker 1: week between Tulane and Memphis. Tulane scored on their first

1242
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:49,640
Speaker 1: play from scrimmage, which was a sixty five yard touchdown

1243
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:54,560
Speaker 1: pass from Jake Retz Left to Chaz Preston Preston, great name, chazm.

1244
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:58,160
Speaker 1: Tulane then keeps it going for the rest of the

1245
01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:01,760
Speaker 1: first half. They put up thirty five points. They build

1246
01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:05,480
Speaker 1: what looks like a very comfortable lead, but then Memphis

1247
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:09,520
Speaker 1: in the second half holds Tulane to just three points.

1248
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:12,160
Speaker 1: Right at the start of the third quarter, they get

1249
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:15,760
Speaker 1: a field goal, but nothing from that point forward. Memphis

1250
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:19,280
Speaker 1: goes on this late charge in the fourth quarter. They

1251
01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:22,640
Speaker 1: score fifteen points late. They have a chance at it

1252
01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:26,320
Speaker 1: late but then fail to convert on a fourth and

1253
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:30,560
Speaker 1: eight from Tulane's thirty five yard line. So felt like

1254
01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:32,600
Speaker 1: they were out of it. They worked their way back

1255
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:35,920
Speaker 1: into this thing late. Thirty eight to thirty two was

1256
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:39,960
Speaker 1: your final. Memphis was favored in this one. Remember Tulane,

1257
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 1: I think I lost the week before to Utsa, So

1258
01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:48,520
Speaker 1: things are kind of all jostled about in the American

1259
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:51,840
Speaker 1: right now. Really good game from both these quarterbacks, right,

1260
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:53,880
Speaker 1: Jake Retz left for a good chunk of this game

1261
01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:58,040
Speaker 1: is on fire. Get a really good game. But Tulane

1262
01:06:58,120 --> 01:07:02,080
Speaker 1: winning definitely introduces a bit of complexity into where things

1263
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:03,960
Speaker 1: stand in the American And then you layer on top

1264
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:07,800
Speaker 1: of that what went down with the South Florida UTSA game,

1265
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:12,800
Speaker 1: which wasn't a gigantic surprise in that USF one. It

1266
01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:14,840
Speaker 1: was a surprise though in the manner that they won.

1267
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:17,080
Speaker 1: And this is from our friend Stuart mandel Over at

1268
01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:21,480
Speaker 1: the Athletic quote, never seen anything like this. First quarter

1269
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:29,840
Speaker 1: UTSA first drive, pick six, UTSA second drive, stripsack touchdown. Yeah,

1270
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:37,040
Speaker 1: utsa third drive, a punt muffed by USF. And then

1271
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:40,440
Speaker 1: he did an updated tweet later saying that USF had

1272
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:43,480
Speaker 1: run thirteen plays and somehow was leading by a thirty

1273
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:46,840
Speaker 1: five to dead margin, which is just not something you

1274
01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:49,240
Speaker 1: see outside of video games. Damn no.

1275
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:52,920
Speaker 2: This is like if solid wife Kate were to come home.

1276
01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:54,960
Speaker 1: Like, you'll never believe the day I had.

1277
01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:58,400
Speaker 2: So I park a place I always park, three tickets,

1278
01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:02,280
Speaker 2: then I go into the grocery store, slip on grapes

1279
01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:04,919
Speaker 2: right that this is just UTSAS day.

1280
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:08,760
Speaker 1: It USF's day. Excuse me, us F, excuse me. Yeah,

1281
01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:13,120
Speaker 1: USF had a forty five to ten halftime lead. Yeah,

1282
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:16,559
Speaker 1: they put the game away early. So what does all

1283
01:08:16,600 --> 01:08:21,000
Speaker 1: of this mean? If you are in the American right now,

1284
01:08:22,040 --> 01:08:24,280
Speaker 1: teams that you want to be are North Texas m

1285
01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:29,520
Speaker 1: H and USF right for a rematch in the American Championship.

1286
01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:32,759
Speaker 1: North Texas has the inside track right now because they've

1287
01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:35,719
Speaker 1: by far got the easiest schedule from here on out.

1288
01:08:36,320 --> 01:08:39,880
Speaker 1: If you're USF, you gotta beat Navy next week. Okay,

1289
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:42,320
Speaker 1: not easy. I don't think that's going to be. Well,

1290
01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:42,719
Speaker 1: it depends.

1291
01:08:42,720 --> 01:08:45,439
Speaker 2: I mean, Blake Corvat didn't play tonight, right Corvaf is

1292
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:47,080
Speaker 2: a scratch about an hour before the game.

1293
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:51,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, so without him, that definitely is a question. Although

1294
01:08:51,360 --> 01:08:56,479
Speaker 1: the backup look pretty good. So USF, you gotta beat

1295
01:08:56,560 --> 01:08:58,559
Speaker 1: Navy next week. The rest of it feels like it

1296
01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:00,600
Speaker 1: should be smooth sailing. If you're two lane, you're a

1297
01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:03,400
Speaker 1: huge Navy fan. If you're two lane, you still have

1298
01:09:03,439 --> 01:09:05,479
Speaker 1: a shot at this thing. You only have one conference loss.

1299
01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:09,040
Speaker 1: There is definitely a real possibility here that you could

1300
01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:12,040
Speaker 1: find your way into this conversation before long. But you

1301
01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:15,519
Speaker 1: need a little bit of help. I think. Okay, that

1302
01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:18,280
Speaker 1: is my back of the Napkin math about five minutes

1303
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:21,320
Speaker 1: before going live here. But those three teams right now,

1304
01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:23,719
Speaker 1: well we're going to see two of those three teams

1305
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:25,479
Speaker 1: end up getting into this scene to play for the

1306
01:09:25,479 --> 01:09:30,719
Speaker 1: American Yeah, I think I still think even though Memphis lost,

1307
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 1: the winner of the American is going to end up

1308
01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:35,680
Speaker 1: being the representative in the playoff. There could be a

1309
01:09:35,720 --> 01:09:37,519
Speaker 1: case to be made for James Madison out of the

1310
01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:39,360
Speaker 1: Sun Belt, but I don't know if the schedule is

1311
01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:40,040
Speaker 1: strong enough.

1312
01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:43,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and James Madison will potentially have a win against

1313
01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:48,200
Speaker 2: Washington State and app State, whatever that means to you.

1314
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:51,880
Speaker 1: Continue. And then the other element of this is what

1315
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:53,000
Speaker 1: about the Mountain West.

1316
01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:58,080
Speaker 2: Well, that's the at time of recording being affected dramatically

1317
01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:01,280
Speaker 2: as San Diego State is getting destroyed by Hawaii.

1318
01:10:02,280 --> 01:10:03,080
Speaker 1: So that's taking care.

1319
01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:05,080
Speaker 2: Look, we talked about the November Feast tie, and it's

1320
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:07,640
Speaker 2: not the one happening on that Thursday in a few weeks. No,

1321
01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:10,960
Speaker 2: it's college football. It's currently thirty one to six the

1322
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:15,240
Speaker 2: time with this recording, Hawaii at home in Honolulu over

1323
01:10:15,320 --> 01:10:17,719
Speaker 2: San Diego State, who, by the way, to this point,

1324
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:19,639
Speaker 2: has been led by their defense. I have not watched

1325
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:21,840
Speaker 2: the second of this game. When you're losing thirty one

1326
01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:24,280
Speaker 2: to six, it may be the case where the defense

1327
01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:27,800
Speaker 2: is not coming through. Tonight, we got a bunch of

1328
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:31,000
Speaker 2: great calls, nice verbal three.

1329
01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:35,320
Speaker 1: Our guys, Shay cut them up put them together, said

1330
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:39,320
Speaker 1: I didn't know what to expect this week. Didn't have

1331
01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:41,599
Speaker 1: a bunch of headliner type games. Right, you never know

1332
01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:43,360
Speaker 1: what you're going to get when you open up the

1333
01:10:43,400 --> 01:10:47,360
Speaker 1: reverb line. He went to bat for this week though,

1334
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:49,960
Speaker 1: and said, this was a fantastic batch. So let's have listen.

1335
01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:51,400
Speaker 1: Here're your week eleven reverbs.

1336
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:53,639
Speaker 5: I was out doing aerons during most of the Penn

1337
01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:58,640
Speaker 5: State game, eating some meatballs, looking at some York grubin bookshelves.

1338
01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:00,920
Speaker 5: Of course, so I wasn't paying super close attention. But

1339
01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:04,519
Speaker 5: it looks like the Hoosiers got another classic easyw anyone

1340
01:11:04,520 --> 01:11:05,800
Speaker 5: else feel the need to dry?

1341
01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:09,040
Speaker 1: He's Dan Hi.

1342
01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:10,479
Speaker 4: It's Will in San Diego.

1343
01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:12,080
Speaker 1: This is Squishy in New York.

1344
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:14,719
Speaker 6: Hi, guys, Grandma being some riggan here.

1345
01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:18,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to kill the jinks with kindness.

1346
01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 4: You're still my favorite.

1347
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:21,639
Speaker 3: Go duck say Hi.

1348
01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:24,320
Speaker 7: Looks like the Walk of the Week curse is over?

1349
01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:27,120
Speaker 4: What is it?

1350
01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:30,599
Speaker 1: Time to run a Heisman campaign for Radica Sathington? Curse

1351
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:31,200
Speaker 1: is broken?

1352
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:35,000
Speaker 7: Curses broken people gig a baggie.

1353
01:11:35,240 --> 01:11:37,640
Speaker 4: Just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in.

1354
01:11:38,040 --> 01:11:41,320
Speaker 7: Tulane goes on the road and whips Memphis Roway.

1355
01:11:41,960 --> 01:11:46,280
Speaker 2: I think Boston College might be bad at football, but I'm.

1356
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:48,479
Speaker 1: Gonna withhold judgment. We should know a lot more about

1357
01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:49,599
Speaker 1: this team come December.

1358
01:11:49,640 --> 01:11:52,160
Speaker 4: It just cratches just the right part of my brain

1359
01:11:52,240 --> 01:11:56,120
Speaker 4: that Trinidad went for three hundred and thirty three yards

1360
01:11:56,240 --> 01:11:59,360
Speaker 4: and three touchdowns today. Win every game in front of you.

1361
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:02,880
Speaker 4: Beats to hotty totty, Good evening, Dan and Ti. This

1362
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:05,800
Speaker 4: was Mike from the Mean Streets.

1363
01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:08,120
Speaker 3: Of the Easton back in twenty fifteen, the last time

1364
01:12:08,160 --> 01:12:11,840
Speaker 3: Penn State won a games. Now I'm dirty Mike from Bethlehem,

1365
01:12:12,200 --> 01:12:15,320
Speaker 3: and I almost saw Penn State win over a top

1366
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:19,160
Speaker 3: rank team. Who knows where I'll actually be and who

1367
01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:21,720
Speaker 3: I'll actually be when Penn State does get a win.

1368
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:24,960
Speaker 7: If Georgia wanted good cruck pot recipes, they could have

1369
01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:28,519
Speaker 7: just asked Mississippi pot roast his famous They didn't have

1370
01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:31,200
Speaker 7: to throw all of klanga in rude.

1371
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:35,280
Speaker 5: I am at Arizona Stadium in Tucson and just wanted

1372
01:12:35,280 --> 01:12:38,760
Speaker 5: to say the Wildcats are ball eligible for the very

1373
01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:42,679
Speaker 5: first time since jud Fish. Hi. This is EJ calling

1374
01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:44,240
Speaker 5: in from Dundee, Illinois.

1375
01:12:43,840 --> 01:12:47,400
Speaker 6: From a good friend's wedding after seeing my Wisconsin Badgers.

1376
01:12:47,160 --> 01:12:48,240
Speaker 7: Get their first ranked win.

1377
01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:50,480
Speaker 5: He's twenty twenty one on Wisconsin.

1378
01:12:50,520 --> 01:12:50,800
Speaker 3: Baby.

1379
01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:53,040
Speaker 2: Let's see how many passing yards it takes to beat

1380
01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:54,480
Speaker 2: the Washington Huskies.

1381
01:12:54,120 --> 01:12:58,320
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty five forty eight passing yards twenty four

1382
01:12:58,360 --> 01:13:00,880
Speaker 1: from the punter. That's a lot of yards.

1383
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:04,400

01:14:39,560 --> 01:14:43,679
Speaker 2: But people don't know at this point because it's become

1414
01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:49,479
Speaker 2: a bit if you are picking teams earnestly or if

1415
01:14:49,479 --> 01:14:51,880
Speaker 2: this is a commerce thing for you for.

1416
01:14:52,040 --> 01:14:55,400
Speaker 1: Quick not benefiting financially from this big charity is.

1417
01:14:57,000 --> 01:14:57,160
Speaker 4: Here.

1418
01:14:57,640 --> 01:15:00,800
Speaker 1: Here is what I promised the verbowler. Okay, okay, what

1419
01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:02,920
Speaker 1: I promise of verballer hood is I will not do

1420
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:08,000
Speaker 1: anything to try and jinks or reverse jinks. My own teams. Okay,

1421
01:15:08,520 --> 01:15:12,160
Speaker 1: all right, the rest of it, he has a code.

1422
01:15:12,680 --> 01:15:17,160
Speaker 1: The rest of it based on the obvious success we

1423
01:15:17,280 --> 01:15:20,120
Speaker 1: just had this week. I will save for applications that

1424
01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:22,280
Speaker 1: I get from the verballer hood. I will not try

1425
01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:24,720
Speaker 1: to purposely do this. I don't want to wear it out,

1426
01:15:24,720 --> 01:15:26,519
Speaker 1: because if you do anything too much, then you kind

1427
01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:27,560
Speaker 1: of lose the mistique.

1428
01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:31,600
Speaker 2: Well, will you jinx the same team multiple times?

1429
01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:34,160
Speaker 1: Or will you? I am happy to do so. I'm

1430
01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:34,840
Speaker 1: happy to do so.

1431
01:15:34,960 --> 01:15:37,960
Speaker 2: Okay, but so you'll repeat. This is not a what's

1432
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:40,360
Speaker 2: it called? When you're like the kind of pool where

1433
01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 2: you pick NFL teams? Right, No, you can only pick

1434
01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:45,960
Speaker 2: them one survivor pool. No survivor pool. This is not

1435
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:47,439
Speaker 2: a jink survivor situation.

1436
01:15:47,479 --> 01:15:49,160
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no no no. So listen. If you

1437
01:15:49,240 --> 01:15:51,760
Speaker 1: have a situation where you want me to a jinx

1438
01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:54,639
Speaker 1: an opponent, you need to send an application to Selve

1439
01:15:54,720 --> 01:15:58,080
Speaker 1: verbaltgmail dot com. If your application is accept that, I

1440
01:15:58,120 --> 01:16:00,880
Speaker 1: will tell you. At that point, you need to make

1441
01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:03,960
Speaker 1: your donation, send me your receipt. Once we have receipts,

1442
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:06,960
Speaker 1: once we know that everything is official, then I'll do

1443
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:09,400
Speaker 1: the jinks. Okay, that's how this is gonna work. We're

1444
01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:12,519
Speaker 1: gonna do it to benefit charity, not to benefit us. Okay,

1445
01:16:12,520 --> 01:16:16,679
Speaker 1: but I'm telling you I I had to shiver down

1446
01:16:16,720 --> 01:16:19,760
Speaker 1: my spine when Wisconsin won that game where I was

1447
01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:21,519
Speaker 1: down here it was just me and the dogs, and

1448
01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:25,839
Speaker 1: I woke the dog up because I was pacing the room. Literally,

1449
01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:32,719
Speaker 1: what have I become? I don't know. It's it's still college.

1450
01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:33,679
Speaker 1: Am I a witch?

1451
01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:33,920
Speaker 5: Like?

1452
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:36,800
Speaker 2: What is going on with this? But it's not out

1453
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:39,639
Speaker 2: of nowhere? You basically, Look, I'm not going to say

1454
01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:41,120
Speaker 2: that everybody was picking Wisconsin.

1455
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:43,760
Speaker 1: I've never been able to control it before like this though.

1456
01:16:44,160 --> 01:16:46,120
Speaker 1: You know, if you've watched X Men, how they kind

1457
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:48,439
Speaker 1: of like teach them to like shoot the beams and stuff.

1458
01:16:48,720 --> 01:16:48,880
Speaker 4: Like.

1459
01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:51,880
Speaker 1: I knew the power was there, I didn't know how

1460
01:16:51,880 --> 01:16:57,240
Speaker 1: to channel it, right, Okay, And so I'm freaking myself

1461
01:16:57,280 --> 01:16:58,200
Speaker 1: out a little bit with this.

1462
01:16:58,360 --> 01:17:02,680
Speaker 2: But I think it's real. I really it's real. So

1463
01:17:03,880 --> 01:17:09,360
Speaker 2: our first true proven evidence of the occult is you

1464
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:13,080
Speaker 2: picking Power conference football games incorrectly?

1465
01:17:14,040 --> 01:17:14,720
Speaker 1: I believe that's right.

1466
01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:17,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, I'm just making sure. By the way, when

1467
01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:21,400
Speaker 2: we were talking about Vanderbilt Auburn and I was talking

1468
01:17:21,400 --> 01:17:24,840
Speaker 2: about Diego Pavia only knowing whatever was three to five

1469
01:17:24,880 --> 01:17:28,880
Speaker 2: plays seven plays in my head. I was also trying

1470
01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:32,160
Speaker 2: to workshop a nickname, and I just couldn't land the plane,

1471
01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:35,320
Speaker 2: and I wanted to just I don't know. I don't

1472
01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:37,000
Speaker 2: know if you have better ideas. I was gonna go

1473
01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:40,719
Speaker 2: Diego z empic Colon taking shots to help you lose.

1474
01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:44,440
Speaker 2: I think it's okay, it's too wordy.

1475
01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:46,920
Speaker 1: To it's you need to streamline that.

1476
01:17:47,280 --> 01:17:51,280
Speaker 2: Diego zampiic Colon taking shots to help you lose. But

1477
01:17:51,360 --> 01:17:53,839
Speaker 2: like the you is unclear. Obviously it's about the opponent

1478
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:56,840
Speaker 2: of Vanderbilt. So I don't know I'll get there, but

1479
01:17:56,960 --> 01:17:58,720
Speaker 2: I just want you to know where my mind was

1480
01:17:58,800 --> 01:17:59,840
Speaker 2: while we were talking about that.

1481
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:02,439
Speaker 1: Appreciate your honesty. This is your show about honesty. Of course,

1482
01:18:02,479 --> 01:18:07,120
Speaker 1: you were giving a counterpoint. Cam Coleman may not be good. No,

1483
01:18:07,240 --> 01:18:09,519
Speaker 1: I think he's good. I just I don't think he's

1484
01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:11,800
Speaker 1: he's not bulletproof. He's made a bunch of mistakes. Oh

1485
01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:14,519
Speaker 1: he's ridiculous. He's so good. All right, Uh should we

1486
01:18:14,560 --> 01:18:16,040
Speaker 1: do doodle arts? Let's do it?

1487
01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:20,280
Speaker 5: All right?

1488
01:18:20,320 --> 01:18:22,360
Speaker 1: I already called out the running back from Rutgers. He

1489
01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:23,520
Speaker 1: gets my dude alert.

1490
01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:27,360
Speaker 2: And I guess we called out Joe Fignano. I don't

1491
01:18:27,360 --> 01:18:30,120
Speaker 2: know how he pronounce his name, the Yukon quarterback. Yeah,

1492
01:18:30,160 --> 01:18:32,720
Speaker 2: he had a good game. Jake Retz laugh completely went off.

1493
01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:36,120
Speaker 2: Nate Fraser for Georgia. Keewan Brown the Louisville running back

1494
01:18:36,160 --> 01:18:38,280
Speaker 2: and a losing effort was really good. It was, you know,

1495
01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:43,720
Speaker 2: the passing game of defense that let Louisville down. It

1496
01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:45,640
Speaker 2: wasn't the defense wasn't that bad. It was over. They

1497
01:18:45,640 --> 01:18:49,120
Speaker 2: have twenty nine points in overtime. McKay lemon for USC.

1498
01:18:49,640 --> 01:18:52,519
Speaker 2: By the way, another one Malik Washington on the ground

1499
01:18:52,760 --> 01:18:56,759
Speaker 2: in a losing effort Maryland Rutgers uh. And then Jacob

1500
01:18:56,840 --> 01:19:01,439
Speaker 2: de Jesus for for Cal receiver as well, had a

1501
01:19:01,479 --> 01:19:03,559
Speaker 2: big day through the air and helping to win that game.

1502
01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:07,080
Speaker 2: So I guess that that was a double dude Gamecal game.

1503
01:19:07,080 --> 01:19:10,400
Speaker 2: I don't know, that wasn't a planned thing. I don't

1504
01:19:10,439 --> 01:19:12,320
Speaker 2: know if there was anybody else. I mean, it was

1505
01:19:12,360 --> 01:19:15,280
Speaker 2: a dude throw Dante mor to Malik Benson, all things

1506
01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:17,720
Speaker 2: considered in that moment. In Atticus Sappington for.

1513
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:42,599
Speaker 1: Thank you to one and all for tuning in. We've

1514
01:19:42,640 --> 01:19:45,799
Speaker 1: had a bunch of people tune into the live YouTube

1515
01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:48,639
Speaker 1: stream here, some of us sending in super chats and whatnot.

1516
01:19:48,640 --> 01:19:53,280
Speaker 1: We appreciate that we had a lot to discuss on

1517
01:19:53,360 --> 01:19:55,680
Speaker 1: the Week eleven reaction episodes, so I don't think we

1518
01:19:56,320 --> 01:19:59,920
Speaker 1: had enough time to in earnest, go through comments and

1519
01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:02,840
Speaker 1: talk about some of the ideas that are flowing around

1520
01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:04,840
Speaker 1: out there. But we promised that we'll do that next time,

1521
01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:07,880
Speaker 1: just because we felt like we had a lot that

1522
01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:09,960
Speaker 1: we needed to unpack here in Week eleven. It was

1523
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:13,360
Speaker 1: a great week games Again. You called it screw It Saturday.

1524
01:20:13,400 --> 01:20:15,040
Speaker 1: I think to some extent it lived up to that.

1525
01:20:15,160 --> 01:20:17,760
Speaker 1: We had somebody send in the idea that maybe it

1526
01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:20,120
Speaker 1: should have been stiff Arm Saturday. With the way that

1527
01:20:20,560 --> 01:20:23,120
Speaker 1: some of the top performance were able to shush away

1528
01:20:23,840 --> 01:20:28,240
Speaker 1: some of these threats, it is going to get crazy here,

1529
01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:31,760
Speaker 1: and I hope everybody realizes that over the next four

1530
01:20:31,800 --> 01:20:36,600
Speaker 1: weeks or so, you know, I think there is always

1531
01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:39,840
Speaker 1: this risk with a week like Week eleven, where you

1532
01:20:39,840 --> 01:20:42,800
Speaker 1: don't have these obvious headliner games, that you kind of

1533
01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:46,280
Speaker 1: get lulled into this false sense of security. I am

1534
01:20:46,400 --> 01:20:49,640
Speaker 1: urging people not to let themselves do that because I

1535
01:20:49,680 --> 01:20:51,879
