Yesterday we're recording on Sunday night. Saturday 13 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 2: was fabulous. It had gotten as much hype, more hype 14 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 2: than any other Saturday this season so far, and maybe 15 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 2: even over last season Saturdays as well, and it somehow 16 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 2: exceeded the hype. The games were just fabulous. Like the 17 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 2: theater of it just I mean, like the two thirty 18 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 2: slot Central time was amazing, but like the whole day 19 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 2: was amazing, you know in terms of like having games 20 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 2: up on your screen, and some of those games were 21 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 2: just instant classics. I'm looking at U Tennessee, Alabama, and 22 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 2: then at night the dessert course of Utah USC was 23 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 2: an incredible game as well. So it was just the 24 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 2: whole thing, just a great college football Saturday. Excited to 25 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 2: talk about the Lions. And as far as as Syracuse 26 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 2: clems in, that's a tough matchup for all Syracuse, isn't. 27 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: It eleven and a half point dogs going into Clemson here, 28 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: gonna be tough. 29 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, Syracuse has caught it right both with the schedule. 30 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 2: Early on they were able to ambush Louisville in the opener, 31 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 2: and then you know, it hasn't been the hardest slate 32 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 2: you know, to this point. And then you have this 33 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 2: game Againstenzee State that you would have been the preseason 34 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 2: circled as like this is gonna be a tough one. 35 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 2: Once he Stayed had just lost Devin Larry and they 36 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 2: were banged up as well, and they had to turn 37 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 2: around on a you know, on a regular week whatever. 38 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 2: After that, they just sort of snuck by FSU with 39 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 2: all these injuries. And then Yah, Syracuse of course, as 40 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 2: you know, had essentially a two straight bye weeks. You'd 41 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 2: had you were coming off the buy and then you 42 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,519 Speaker 2: played Wagner the week before. Circumstantially it worked out really 43 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 2: well this one. This is gonna be a tough one Syracuse. 44 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 2: Of course, as you know, they need to be led 45 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 2: by the run game. This year, they can do way 46 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 2: more of the passing. It's way more of a threat 47 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 2: than it was last year. But you still need to 48 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,679 Speaker 2: be led by the running foot in that. If Syracuse's 49 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 2: run game goes away that entire offense, you take the 50 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 2: tent pole out of the circus tent and the whole 51 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 2: top comes down. Clemson's a team that's able to do 52 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 2: that with their defensive front. 53 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 3: Now. 54 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 2: Then again, this was the theory of why they were 55 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 2: going to blow out wake Forth earlier in the season, 56 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 2: and they have in the past, but Clemson didn't do 57 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 2: it this year. Clemson's offense has gotten better, but their defense, 58 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 2: to personnel of it. People have been in, people have 59 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 2: been out. They've not been as quite as consistent defensively 60 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,239 Speaker 2: as we thought coming in. 61 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 3: Their secondary has played better. 62 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 2: I will say that initially first couple weeks of the season, 63 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 2: Clemson was getting torch through the air. That's gotten a 64 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 2: little bit better. But if Clemson's able to take away 65 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 2: that run game of Syracuse. They're gonna run away with 66 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 2: this thing. But we'll see about the health of their 67 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 2: front who is active, who is one hundred percent where 68 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,519 Speaker 2: they're gonna be able to play the line share of 69 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 2: the usage because because of circumstances cleansing their front seven 70 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 2: vaunted for sure talent wise, the best in college football 71 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 2: this season, but because of all the moving parts, they've 72 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 2: had to minimize guys' roles, limits snaps, and or guys 73 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 2: just being out. 74 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 3: So we'll see how that goes. 75 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 2: But if they're able to shut off the tap of 76 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 2: a Syracuse run game, they're going to be in a 77 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 2: really good spot here. 78 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'm more than nervous. It's hard to 79 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: be nervous when you're eleven and a half point dogs. 80 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: You're just hoping that something can happen. We'll have to 81 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: see in this game, and you can hit that nail 82 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: on the head with let the success from yesterday, it 83 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: was a fantastic day. I have another buddy who gives 84 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: me a couple college football picks a week, and I 85 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: just like he knows the sport enough where I'm following 86 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:17,119 Speaker 1: him pretty comfortably blind. And yesterday I just had the Inklan. 87 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: I was like, ah, you know what, I took four 88 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: of them, put him in a little parlay. Ends up 89 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: with a nice little bonus out of the day, which 90 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 1: is good because I've taken a bath on NFL so 91 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 1: far this Sunday. But speaking of teams that took a bath, here, 92 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: Ohio State is going up against Iowa, and I think 93 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 1: that this might be the game where we finally get 94 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: more than a couple of touchdowns in an Iowa football game, 95 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: don't you think here Thorn minus twenty nine in the 96 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: Horseshoe with the Buckeyes. 97 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 2: Boy do I hope so? Because if not, this one 98 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 2: could turn into a margin thing real quick. 99 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 3: It. 100 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 2: I mean, we're gonna know really early after the kickoff, 101 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,119 Speaker 2: probably in the first you know, half of the first quarter, 102 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 2: whether Iowa can be viable whatsoever. Iowa obviously wants to 103 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 2: turn it into a rock fight Ohio. Ohio State is 104 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 2: going to try to impose a track meet on them. 105 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 2: Can Iowa do the rock fight thing enough to stay 106 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 2: close and or push it into the fourth quarter? 107 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 3: We'll see about that. 108 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 2: There's been games, In fact, I went to one in 109 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 2: Kinnick Stadium that four or five years ago where Iowa 110 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 2: was a heavy underdog to Ohio State. Nate Stanley was 111 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 2: the quarterback Iowa ambush Ohio State. In that game, there 112 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 2: was multiple pick six as a JT. Barrett and then Stanley. 113 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 2: They didn't i would did not have to ask Stanley 114 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 2: to force the ball and stuff like that and then 115 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 2: put him in a bad situation because the game script 116 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 2: then flipped into their direction. 117 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 3: But Iowa's offense, Thomas, as you know. 118 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: Is brutal, brutal, brual, brutal. 119 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 2: Their offensive line is not good. They're running back town 120 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 2: his way down, and we know the quarterbacks one of 121 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 2: the worst quarterbacks in all of the FBS going down 122 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 2: to the G five. And their receiving course stinks too. 123 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 2: The only kid that got is really Sam Laporte on offense. 124 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 2: So you're, i mean, as an Iowa fan, you're you're 125 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 2: certainly concerned the line is justified. But Iowa there is 126 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 2: a shot that they could at least impose the rock 127 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 2: fight thing, And certainly with where you have this thing, 128 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 2: with the margin of it, you can make an argument 129 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 2: for Iowa. But that's what I'm going to be digging 130 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 2: into in my my handicap this week. 131 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 3: With that game. 132 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I don't know that I was got. 133 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: I think I'm completely with you on this one. I 134 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: don't think that I was going to be able to 135 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: keep this one as close as they need to. But 136 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: twenty nine could be a lot, could be interesting. But 137 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: let's move on to your team here, Kansas going up 138 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: against Baylor. Baylor going to be eight and a half 139 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: point favorites in this one. Baylor, there were so many 140 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: good games yesterday. Did they get the win against BYU? 141 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 2: I forget well, well, Baylor, they they lost to BUYU 142 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 2: earlier in the year, thinking overtime, I'm sorry, I'm. 143 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: Thinking of the Arkansas YU game there. Completely ignore me, 144 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: completely ignore me. 145 00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 2: Baylor played West Virginia on Thursday night and they Yeah, 146 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 2: that's what it was. 147 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 3: Yeah. 148 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 2: And this is a topical point to this handicap because 149 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 2: Baylor would have won that game if not for injuries 150 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 2: suffered during it. They not only lost their best offensive player, 151 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 2: Blake shape And who was I think Blake Shapin had 152 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 2: his best career game against West Virginia, even though he 153 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 2: got knocked out early in the third quarter of that game, 154 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 2: like he threw for over three hundred yards, which he'd done, 155 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 2: I think only once or twice before that, but the 156 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 2: efficiency and everything was there. That's what you were sort 157 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 2: of hoping for looking at the handicap because West Virginia's 158 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 2: pass defense. 159 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 3: Is so bad. 160 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 2: But Shaping goes down Baylor's backup Kyron Drones, who had 161 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 2: been the QB three before Jerry Bohannan left and Baylor 162 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 2: started to shove Jerry Bohannan out the door. But Drones, 163 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 2: He's a good athlete, but he's incredibly raw as a 164 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 2: passer right now, not only in terms of reading the 165 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 2: defense itself, in the accuracy and the plays and stuff 166 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 2: like that, but also the pocket presence also just general 167 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 2: game awareness, which manifested the very end of that game, 168 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 2: their final drive. It's like he didn't realize he only 169 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 2: needed to get the ball to like the opponent's thirty 170 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 2: two yard line to try for a game tying field 171 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 2: goal attempt that would afford, you know, push the game 172 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 2: to overtime. He was doing things like, you know, scrambling around, 173 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 2: taking up too much time or air mailing throwaways where 174 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 2: it took you know, extra time off the clock, et cetera. 175 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 3: Blake shape and his status is very important. 176 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 2: And then While they lost their Baylor lost their best 177 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 2: offensive player in that game. They also lost their best 178 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 2: defensive player. Sayaki Eka. I hope I'm pronouncing that name correctly. 179 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 2: He's their planet sized noseguard with three hundred and fifty 180 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 2: pounds or whatever, and extremely active, you know, like a 181 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 2: Vince will Fork type or the Danny Shelton type, you know, 182 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 2: the kid from Washington a couple of years ago. 183 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 3: He's that kind of a player. 184 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 2: With him out, that Baylor was much easier as well 185 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 2: to deal for West Virginia's offense, to deal with their defense, 186 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 2: we got to check on shape and status. We got 187 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 2: to check on ECA's status for sure. And Baylor already 188 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 2: had to these health concerns with their skill talent on offense. 189 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 2: Uh Tay McWilliams, the guy who is there they're projected 190 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 2: starting running back coming out of camp, has barely played 191 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 2: this year. 192 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 3: We'll see if if they're able to get him back. 193 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 2: But but one example of some of the injuries that 194 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,559 Speaker 2: that they have had, they also Craig Squirrel Squirrel Williams 195 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 2: on Thursday against Western Virginia. He also got injured. So 196 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 2: like they Baylor's had this this this small true freshman 197 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 2: Richard Reese. This running back has sort of stepped up 198 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 2: with some of these running back injuries. But now when 199 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,839 Speaker 2: you have like if if if Squirrel Williams can't play 200 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 2: and Tate McWilliams is not ready to come back yet, 201 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 2: you'll have a guy uh in in Reese that does 202 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 2: not have a frame for full college usage yet or 203 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 2: maybe ever who Baylor may have to thrust into that 204 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 2: role just because they won't have any depth, And then 205 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 2: you're you're curious about the shape and thing as well. 206 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 2: On the Kansas side, Jalen Daniels certainly is not going 207 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 2: to play. There was an interesting report by I believe 208 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 2: it was Pete Thamil I hope, I'm I'm, I'm I'm 209 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 2: remembering this right. I believe it's Pete Theamia that reported this, 210 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 2: and apologies if I got the reporter wrong. 211 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,959 Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure as him, but he reported on Saturday. 212 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 2: I believe that Daniels there the earliest possible date that 213 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 2: he could return. 214 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 3: It was there. I think it was their. 215 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 2: First game in November November sixth or like something like that. 216 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 2: And this winch to Jalen Daniels' point of last week 217 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 2: when Jalen Daniels quote tweeted the reporter who from the 218 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 2: Laurence Ternal World, the local newspaper of the Jayhawks, who 219 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 2: had reported that Daniels was going to miss the rest 220 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,079 Speaker 2: of the season with a separated throwing shoulder, that he'd 221 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 2: been diagnosed with that, and then Daniel's quote tweeted and 222 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 2: was like, well, that's news to me. So Thamil's report 223 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 2: at least gives hope to the idea that that Daniels 224 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 2: could come back this season. But you're not going to 225 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 2: see him this week. We're gonna get Jason Bean again. 226 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 2: Bean has analogous talent to Jay Daniels for sure, and 227 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 2: he's experienced as well. It's just he is far more inconsistent. 228 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 2: It all goes back to the decision making with him. 229 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 2: When he's on the accuracy is there, the timing's on, 230 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 2: you know, all that sort of stuff, and he has 231 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 2: the athleticism to augment it. Jason Bean was a track 232 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 2: star in high school in Texas, arguably the fastest player 233 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 2: on the Kansas roster, including the secondary, But the decision 234 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 2: making could come. 235 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:26,079 Speaker 3: And go with him. 236 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 2: He'll he'll you know, like once every quarter, so he'll 237 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 2: have a decision where you're just like, what did you 238 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 2: see there? 239 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 3: What was going through your head sort of a thing. 240 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: And you saw that, you saw that last game. But 241 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: full credit to Kansas when he came in and there 242 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: were the times when he had those head scratching decisions, 243 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: but there were also the times when he was really 244 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: good and Kansas clearly felt confident enough in him that 245 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: they didn't turtle up when they were trying to go 246 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 1: for the lead there, and when they had to play 247 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 1: aggressive in that game, they kept firing and firing with 248 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: him as their quarterback. Do you think they'll stay aggressive? 249 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, selectively aggressive is the way I put it, because 250 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 2: because Leopold system, you managed to stay efficient while you 251 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 2: open up opportunities for the explosive plays and that's what 252 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 2: we saw earlier this season. But yeah, your points well 253 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 2: taken being sort of facilitated or helped out the Oklahoma 254 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,199 Speaker 2: defense on a couple time beleaguered Oklahoma defense. That was 255 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 2: sort of the frustrating thing on the Kansas side was 256 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 2: there was a couple of decisions there that flipped the 257 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 2: field that you know, again, you don't really know what 258 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 2: he's seeing, and I mean, you know, you can go 259 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 2: back to his previous work in previous years, But you 260 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 2: can also just go back to the TCU game. Jason 261 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 2: Bean was lights out in that game, barring like three plays, 262 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 2: one of which turned into an interception. The other couple 263 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,559 Speaker 2: were just as ugly. It's just the result of the 264 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,679 Speaker 2: play wasn't quite as bad. But again just the head 265 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 2: scratching thing that the consistency for him is going to 266 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 2: be super important. And how many of those dud plays 267 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 2: you get, trying to minimize them as much as you can, 268 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 2: but going up against this Baylor team that is I 269 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 2: mean the whole depth chart right now, You're you're looking 270 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 2: at the injury report. You want to see the updates 271 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 2: on those, but they are a badly beaten up team. However, 272 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 2: whatever way you slice it, And if Blake Shape isn't starting, 273 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 2: the drop off from Shape into drones certainly is bigger 274 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 2: than the dropoff from Daniels to Bean. And then if 275 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 2: Baylor doesn't have their their planet sized war Daddy in 276 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 2: the middle in Eka, it's going to be easier for 277 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 2: Kansas to run, which will increase the efficiency of the 278 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 2: Kansas offense, which again is going to facilitate the explosive 279 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 2: plays If Kansas can't be efficient on offense, those explosive 280 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 2: plays won't be there for him. That's the shoe that 281 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 2: they're led with. But if they can get that run 282 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 2: game going, if they can get up and then being 283 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,319 Speaker 2: on the perimeter and stuff like that off the boot legs, 284 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 2: that's how you open up these explosive play opportunities. We'll 285 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 2: have to see on ECA status, but it's this is 286 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 2: a game that could go either way. 287 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 3: That the open line of this thing. 288 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,599 Speaker 2: I think this is a little bit puffed up considering 289 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 2: Baylor's health concerns right now. Again, Shape and their best 290 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 2: offensive player might not play. They have bad problems in 291 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 2: the running back room right now whoever's gonna be active, 292 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 2: and their best defensive player, a first round prospect in Eka, 293 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 2: is also questionable right now. So this is a game 294 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 2: you have to You're gonna have to look into the 295 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 2: injury report all week and see on the statuses of 296 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 2: the kids. 297 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 3: But at least as. 298 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 2: Far as what we know right now on Sunday night, 299 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 2: that line seems a bit inflated for where Baylor is 300 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 2: as a team and then what we've seen and then 301 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 2: also where their health is right now. 302 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: It's gonna be an interesting one. I'm looking forward to it. 303 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: But you know what else I'm looking forward to. We 304 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: got LSU going up against ole Miss. Here LSU they 305 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: were able to get it done down in the Swamp 306 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: against the Gators. Now that come home to the Buyo 307 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: where they have to take on an ole Miss team 308 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: that's still seven to oher. The big teams that are 309 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: getting the headlines in the SEC right now, obviously you've 310 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: got Bama, Tennessee and Georgia. This Ole Miss team is 311 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: right up there with them. Do you think that they're 312 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: for real? Are they kind of in a second tier below? Uh? 313 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 2: I'll say, uh real ish. I don't know if that 314 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 2: would completely go to the category categorization that you're talking about. 315 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 2: But I still have my concerns about Mississippi for sure. 316 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 2: Their their offense has been a bit stop and start. 317 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 2: Where they've they've sort of there's the stretches where they 318 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 2: are not putting points on the board have been way 319 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 2: more prolonged than you would have anticipated in the preseason. 320 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,359 Speaker 3: The the overall tree. 321 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 2: Top stats haven't looked as bad parcause because lane in 322 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 2: a couple of these games is poured on at the end. 323 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 2: Although he didn't decide to do that last Saturday, or 324 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 2: you know, yesterday when he could have he decided to 325 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 2: take a knee in that one. But we've seen some 326 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 2: of these other games he hadn't done that. But you 327 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 2: still have questions overall about the ole Miss offense. But 328 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 2: I will say the talent there that we have projected 329 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 2: of maybe there won't be that big of a drop 330 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 2: off half Matt corrall Leaves and all the guys that 331 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 2: they they had before, you know, the last era of 332 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 2: the Rebels. We thought that this offense was going to 333 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 2: be better, going to bring in Jackson, start bringing Zach Evans, 334 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 2: this Judkins kid. Now as you served, you know from 335 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 2: the beginning of the season, had you serve Ulysses Bentley, 336 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 2: who we thought would have a bigger role whatever, he's 337 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 2: turned out to be his stud They have all the 338 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 2: receivers as well. 339 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 3: Will that offense start to pick it up? We'll see. 340 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin is not amending his play calling strategy whatsoever 341 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 2: in the meantime as as this new group is sort 342 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 2: of trying to pick it up. Remember, Lane Kiffin remade 343 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 2: his roster as much, arguably as especially in the offensive 344 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 2: side of the Ball as any roster before it in 345 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 2: the history of college football outside of Lincoln Riley, Like 346 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 2: Lane Kiffen went out and signed as many guys who 347 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 2: are going to be starting for the next year as 348 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 2: we had seen for a sitting head coach prior to that, right, 349 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 2: like you know, and the rule change is obviously helped 350 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 2: facilitate this. But Lane Kiffin the portal king, and it 351 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 2: wasn't that he brought players with him to where he went. 352 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 2: He just remade that roster as we went. So I'm 353 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 2: still hopeful that the the ole Miss offense will become 354 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 2: what the some of its parts say it can be. 355 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 2: In the meantime, their defense is playing a bit better 356 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 2: than we thought it was, so they sort of made 357 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,919 Speaker 2: up the ground in that way. But ole Miss is 358 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 2: on offense, they're still playing at the number one pace 359 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 2: in the entire country. They're still playing at that that 360 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,199 Speaker 2: breakneck pace, And I think Lane's just hoping that that 361 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 2: it's eventually gonna that everything's gonna coal last because at 362 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 2: the point that it does, that's how you can, potentially, 363 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 2: to your to your first question, get yourself into a 364 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 2: position where potentially you can take down one of those. 365 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 3: Those big Tigers of the the SEC. 366 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 2: But right now, with where the offense is, I I 367 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 2: don't know that I would say that that they're cable 368 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 2: of that. 369 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: Well, they might be, and they might have to work 370 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 1: to take out on one of the big Tigers of 371 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 1: the SEC, but they're actually getting their laying two points 372 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 1: in LSU. Can they take up the LSU tires this weekend? 373 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:02,640 Speaker 3: Yeah? 374 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 2: My spread on that game is Ole Miss minus too, 375 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 2: So I'm I'm right there on the Vegas line this game. 376 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 2: I'm going to handicap all week My initial lean would 377 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 2: probably be towards Ole Mess just because I mean, the 378 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 2: offense hasn't been consistent, but overall the team has been. 379 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 2: And then LSU, you've had this team where you see 380 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 2: some you know, it's like sort of like every other 381 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 2: week with them a little bit where some of these 382 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,880 Speaker 2: games you get the effort and they look really good, 383 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 2: like yesterday when they traveled down to Florida and they 384 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 2: controlled that entire game and they ended up winning by ten, 385 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 2: but they were leading by more than that for a 386 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 2: large portion of that game. But then you have these 387 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 2: other games where it's like like like Brian Kelly was 388 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 2: lamenting after the Tennessee game, and we now know that 389 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 2: Tennessee is awesome for sure, but it wasn't Tennessee didn't 390 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 2: beat him by almost thirty points in Baton Rouge because 391 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 2: of that. LFU helped them to do that as well. 392 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 2: You had the fumble of the opening, and then it 393 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 2: didn't seem like LSU's effort was awesome the rest of 394 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 2: that game or even the continuity of the strategy, and 395 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,880 Speaker 2: then it started to get away from them, and then 396 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 2: it started to get ugly with LSU. You can't get 397 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 2: your finger completely on the motivation of that team, et cetera. 398 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 2: But coming off of a big win, this would be 399 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 2: the time for me where I'd sort of leaned the 400 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 2: other way, especially with an Ole miss team that I'm 401 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 2: starting to trust a little bit more overall, even though 402 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 2: I don't completely trust that offense yet, but they have 403 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 2: the pieces, like I said, and projected them to be 404 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 2: better in the summer. 405 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: Now, how about this next game that we've got up here, 406 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: It is going to be another banger. Texas and Oklahoma State. 407 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:45,360 Speaker 1: Okay State, they lost a TCU in that ridiculous overtime 408 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: game forty three to forty. Now they have to come 409 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: back and take on a Texas team that does look 410 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: pretty back. Texas just going to continue on those upwards ascent. Yeah, 411 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: they didn't get though, they didn't get what they were 412 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 1: looking for versus Bama, but they still looked like a 413 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,120 Speaker 1: good team so far. And Quinn yours is playing ball. 414 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 3: Yeah. 415 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,679 Speaker 2: The yesterday when Texas played Iowa State, it was the 416 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 2: classic Texas sleepy spot coming off the week where everyone 417 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 2: says Texas is back, and it was the classic Iowa 418 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 2: State ambush spot meeting, and we saw it like it 419 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 2: became a coin flip game at the end of the game. 420 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 2: I actually think Texas got lucky there. There was It 421 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 2: wasn't just one call. There was a couple of calls 422 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 2: at the end of the game or no calls that 423 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 2: a lot of people thought maybe should have gone the 424 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 2: other way. And there was the fumble where was Deckers 425 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 2: his knee down, et cetera. Texas was either way, it's 426 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 2: flice and Texas was very fortunate to escape with that 427 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 2: win in a game where they at some points during 428 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 2: the week they were a seventeen or a seventeen that 429 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 2: point favorite in the market. I think it closed, you know, 430 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 2: it's closer to like fifteen, because that then the sharps 431 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 2: got involved and you know, realized what the spot was 432 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 2: what it was. 433 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 3: You would figure at. 434 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 2: Least playing pop psychologists with the team, and I'll put 435 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 2: that hat on. You'd figure that you're gonna get a 436 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 2: more motivated Texas team this week. After the sleepy spot 437 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 2: and after they almost just blew it against Iowa State, 438 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 2: you'd figure you would get the better performance this week 439 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 2: traveling to Oklahoma State. I happen to think that Oklahoma 440 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 2: State a lot of what they're doing is smoking mirrors 441 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 2: this team of Oklahoma State. But they're still doing it right. 442 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 2: Like they outplayed PCU for the large schwath of that game, 443 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 2: and then it went against them at the very end. 444 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 2: They ended up losing that one in the overtime. But 445 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 2: they continue to exceed my expectations in this game. I 446 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 2: don't think I could back like where the line open 447 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 2: and where you anticipate it going. You know, it's a 448 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,439 Speaker 2: four and a half. My line on this game is 449 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 2: Texas minus two. To me, it's closer to a coin flip. 450 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 2: I can't lay over four points with Texas in this 451 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 2: spot one way or the other. We'll see what happens 452 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 2: with the line this week, But for me right now, 453 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 2: with where it is, it would be Oklahoma State stay away. 454 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I I like the I like the I like 455 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,199 Speaker 1: Okie State in this one too. They've looked like a 456 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 1: tough team to me. But Texas they've been interesting as well. 457 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,199 Speaker 1: But this I was honestly surprised that this line was 458 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: as low as it is at four and a half. 459 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: And yet even then, you think that they should be 460 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,159 Speaker 1: closer to two. I'm with you, it's Okie State to 461 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: pass for me. Now, how about we got to talk 462 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: about the other team that was involved in that Oklahoma 463 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: State game TCU and Kansas State. Now k State getting 464 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: five points against the horn Frogs, who are undefeated and 465 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, they're they're the Big twelve champs 466 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 1: right now if they keep if they keep this up, 467 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 1: they're gonna be right there. Do you think the TCU 468 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: can get the job done? Are they for real or 469 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 1: do you think that they're just waiting for one of 470 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 1: these games where they're gonna slip up? But how do 471 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,640 Speaker 1: you think they can fare against Kansas State? Is five 472 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: point favorites at home? 473 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 2: Straight up, you'd for sure lean TCU based on what 474 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 2: you'd seen with where the line is. Vegas dropped this 475 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 2: right on what my addressed line is. My addressed line 476 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 2: in this game is TCU minus five point one. It 477 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 2: opens a TCU minus five, so we're right on on 478 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:12,360 Speaker 2: that line. These two teams play opposite right like Kansas 479 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,120 Speaker 2: State wants they want to slow the game. 480 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 3: They want to run the ball more. 481 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 2: They forced a lot of usage to doce fun that 482 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 2: they're they're running back and then the quarterback runs around, 483 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 2: YadA YadA. TCU now they they have they do the 484 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 2: air raid, but there's a bit of a melding where 485 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,439 Speaker 2: they also have the downhill running game and you have 486 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 2: the shifty kid in and Keandrey Miller doing it as well. 487 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 2: But their run game is really good as well. But 488 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 2: the passing game has become awesome, and that that was 489 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 2: the problem last year where tc just couldn't throw the ball. 490 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 2: Max Dugan, What a difference a day, Max, or what 491 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 2: a difference a year makes, you know, going from Gary 492 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 2: Patterson and the previous system now to Sonny Dike's in 493 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 2: the air raid, Max Dugan looks like a totally different 494 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,439 Speaker 2: player and his viability through the air only helps what 495 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 2: is probably his best not probably, it definitely is his 496 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 2: best trait of his mobility because he's a tough runner, 497 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 2: He's an athletic kid. It seems to have an instinct 498 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 2: for it as well. So I like, right now, as 499 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 2: far as like you know, a you know, should you 500 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 2: bet this game early in the week, No, because I, 501 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 2: like I said, I think this line is right on. 502 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 3: It's a game that I'm gonna dig into this week. 503 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 2: Like I said, as far as the straight up thing, 504 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 2: I would certainly lean TCU right now, But as far 505 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 2: as the handicap, I'm gonna see what happens with this 506 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 2: line this week, and then I'm gonna dig it, you know, 507 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,439 Speaker 2: a bit more into the antillary advanced metrics of the 508 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 2: on field matchup between both these teams. 509 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: Now, the next game that we have up here, Minnesota 510 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:42,199 Speaker 1: versus Penn State Penn State LANG four in Happy Valley. 511 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 1: Can the golfers make something happen here? Or is Penn State? 512 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: Penn State feels to me like that team kind of 513 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: like at that ole Miss level. They're not quite one 514 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: of the top teams in the Big Ten. They're right 515 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: below Ohio State and Michigan for me. 516 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 2: But what do you think, Yeah, I mean this one 517 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 2: with the opening line here was gonna be interesting to 518 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 2: me either way in sort of trying to suss out 519 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 2: what what Vegas and was was either thinking about Tanner 520 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 2: Morgan's injury the Minnesota quarterback, or what they anticipated the 521 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 2: market thinking about it, and like I sort of thought 522 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,360 Speaker 2: this line actually, I thought this thing was gonna open 523 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 2: up higher because my, my, just the line in this 524 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 2: game is is Penn State minus three point four. But 525 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,719 Speaker 2: that's with both teams at full strength. Tanner Morgan got 526 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 2: knocked out in the Minnesota got upset by Illinois, yes 527 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 2: on Saturday, and he went like they, I mean, he 528 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 2: had to get carted off and then they took him 529 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 2: to the hospital. 530 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 3: He was cleared to fly back with the team. 531 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 2: So Tanner Morgan is back in Minneapolis, but took a 532 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,199 Speaker 2: shot to the head almost assuredly is going to be 533 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 2: in concussion protocol this week if he is diagnosed or 534 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 2: if he was diagnosed with an official medical concussion. I 535 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 2: don't think that news. There's no incentive for PJ. Fleck 536 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 2: to say that. In fact, I know after the game 537 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 2: he told the reporters that he you know, I don't 538 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 2: know any of I don't know any details about Tanner's 539 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 2: injury yet, whether that's true or not, there's no incentive 540 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 2: for him to tell the reporters whatever it was. If 541 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,199 Speaker 2: Morgan was indeed diagnosed with the concussion, and if he 542 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 2: is indeed in. 543 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 3: The protocol, you would put him at way if he 544 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:16,879 Speaker 3: to play in this game. 545 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,199 Speaker 2: And if he does not, Minnesota is about to go 546 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 2: into a gunfight without a gun, sort of, because their 547 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 2: offense is not passing explosion. They can't generate explosive plays 548 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 2: with the pass either way, even when everyone's at full strength. 549 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 2: But keep in mind, this is a team that lost 550 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 2: Chris Hopman Bell by farther wide receiver one earlier in 551 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 2: the season. They already weren't a great passing team even 552 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 2: before that. And now if Tanner Morgan's out and you 553 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 2: go down to the second string kid who I'm not 554 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 2: even gonna try to pronounce his name, the kid with 555 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 2: the Greek last name. He was awful in the Illinois games, 556 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 2: big part of the reason. 557 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 3: Why they lost. 558 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 2: So if if that's the case and Morgan doesn't play 559 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 2: and you have to go to this red shirt freshman again, 560 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 2: Minnesota's passing game is not going to be there, which 561 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 2: will allow Penn State's nasty defense essentially to just stack 562 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,439 Speaker 2: the box against Minnesota and Moebrahim and tried to erase 563 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 2: mo Ibrahim. Mo Ibrahim came back in the Illinois game. 564 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 2: He had been withheld from the Purdue one. Some people 565 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 2: thought he could have played, but he didn't. Fleck withheld him. 566 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 2: He came back for the Illinois game. He looked fully healthy. 567 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 2: He was really the only bright spot for Minnesota on 568 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 2: the entire day. We'll see how he can contend potentially 569 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 2: with stack boxes in this one. But in lieu of 570 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 2: Morgan's status right now, with it being so up in 571 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 2: the air, I'm a bit surprised that this thing only 572 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 2: opened at minus four. I would have predicted if like beforehand, 573 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 2: I would have thought more like five and a half, six, 574 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 2: maybe even six and a half for Penn State, a 575 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 2: little bit low in lieu of the Morgan thing. 576 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 1: I'm with you. I'm with you. I think that that's 577 00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: gonna be a big question mark and people need to 578 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 1: keep an eye eye on it. But pretty obvious that 579 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: we're going to see him not playing this week with 580 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: concussion protocol right well. 581 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 2: To see you know, I mean the Gophers gave out 582 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 2: zero lessons, zero information by design, most most teams don't, 583 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 2: so we don't like at this time sitting here, we 584 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 2: don't have any information about that. We don't know what 585 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,159 Speaker 2: Morgan was told by the doctors, We don't know what 586 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,679 Speaker 2: he is diagnosed with, we don't know what timeline he 587 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 2: was given, and the coaching staff is not going to 588 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 2: apprize us that it's It's one of those things. During 589 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 2: the week, we're just gonna have to pay attention. Hope 590 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 2: we get some you know, get a handout from Fleck, 591 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 2: you know, like of a of a status updated Tanner 592 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 2: Morgan that has some validity to it and not a 593 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 2: not a Sam Pittman kJ Jefferson update from a couple 594 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 2: of weeks ago, where lots of I'm not trying to 595 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 2: pick on Sam Pittman because a lot of coaches just 596 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 2: all right lie about the health status of their injured quarterbacks. 597 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 2: But for this game, if you're interested in betting on Minnesota, 598 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 2: you need to know if the status is TAYL. Morgan, 599 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 2: because you cannot beat again on You cannot bet on 600 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 2: Minnesota only getting four points in this game if Tannam 601 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 2: Morgan is not going to play. You need to feel 602 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 2: pretty confident about that that for this one right now 603 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 2: where we're sitting, this is Penn State or stay away, 604 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 2: and the Morgan status will inform the rest of it. 605 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: A couple other games that I want to get to 606 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: here before we head out for and of course we 607 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: have to talk about the big one here. 608 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 3: Well, they're no. 609 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 1: Longer the Kings. Tennessee saw to that for now Alabama 610 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: and Mississippi State. Bama gets laying twenty two and a 611 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 1: half points against Mississippi State here in this one, and 612 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 1: should we just expect. 613 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 3: To bounce back. 614 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 1: Let's face it, this Bama team has not looked as 615 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 1: sharp as they have in previous seasons yet. Bryce Young 616 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 1: is still a little banged up. But Bama normally feels inevitable, 617 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: and this year they have not felt that way to 618 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: me for sure. 619 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, there, you know, and we talked about this, you 620 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 2: know before the Tennessee game. Their offensive line is down, 621 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 2: their receiving corps is down, and then when you know, 622 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 2: when Young is compromised, and he definitely was against Tennessee. 623 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 2: Although gutty, gutty kid, I like a couple of weeks ago, 624 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 2: I would have said one hundred percent. Bryce Young doesn't 625 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 2: play in that game with the injury that I've been 626 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 2: told that he had ac joints brain of your throwing shoulder. 627 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 2: It's always a two week plus injury. But Bryce Young 628 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 2: came back with only missing one game. So credit to him. 629 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 2: Tough kid. That is something that is going to be 630 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 2: mentioned during his NFL evaluation that he toughed it out 631 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 2: to come back and play in that enormous game for 632 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 2: Alabama and didn't look terrible at all. Right, it wasn't 633 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 2: the Bryce Young at the peak of his powers, for sure, 634 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 2: but he gave them the fighting chance where especially I 635 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 2: mean I was saying this last week, but especially in hindsight, 636 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 2: it was proven sure if you had Jalen Milroe in there, 637 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 2: Tennessee was winning that game by two touchdowns or more. 638 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,479 Speaker 2: I mean, like Alabama wouldn't have been able to literally 639 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 2: do anything through the air, and that's the only way 640 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 2: that you can attack the Tennessee defense. Bryce Young's status 641 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 2: knowing trying to sort of read between the lines of 642 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 2: the quotes you're getting from the Alabama side to see 643 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 2: what percentage does he is very instructive to this handicap 644 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 2: on either side of it. Alabama said after the game 645 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 2: from I mean like Young and then the coaches, the 646 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 2: whole party line was Bryce suffered no ill effects from 647 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 2: this game whatsoever. Like he's you know, he's only gonna 648 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 2: get healthier from here going out. I don't know about that. 649 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 2: We know that Nick Saban is happier to lie about 650 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 2: this stuff than almost anyone. So again we'll have to see. 651 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 2: You're gonna have to read between the lines a little 652 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 2: bit of this one because Bryce young status is so 653 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 2: important to that team. He definitely gonna play. It's just 654 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 2: what you know, are you gonna get ninety eight percent? Brazing, 655 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 2: You're gonna get eighty two percent? Bryce Young, were in 656 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 2: between whatever, knowing that you have the down offensive line, 657 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 2: in the down receiving core whatever. On the Missipi State side, 658 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 2: it seems that well, well the market in Vegas that 659 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 2: the folks that drop these lines seems like they're still 660 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 2: giving Alabama the tax and the credit on the spread. 661 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 2: It seems like they are doing the opposite with Missippi State. 662 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 2: After Missippi State was installed as the road favorite in 663 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 2: Lexington yesterday, when you know, we didn't know if Leaves 664 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 2: was going to play initially early on in the week 665 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 2: and then later in the week it you know he 666 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 2: was going to play then whatever, But Missiby State still 667 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,959 Speaker 2: closed as the favorite and Kentucky control most of that 668 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 2: game was not a great game for Missippi State. They 669 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 2: did not acquit themselves. Well, the market is certainly going 670 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 2: to be out on them. I don't think that game 671 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 2: has any sort of predictive value as far as like 672 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 2: depressing a line like this going forward. My justed line 673 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 2: in this game is Alabama minus sixteen point three. So 674 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 2: between that and the opening line, I'm sure when a 675 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 2: discrepancy of just a tick over six points of value 676 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 2: on the Missippi State side, that's the way that I 677 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 2: would lean on this game for sure. Early on, if 678 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 2: you have a full strength Bryce Young becomes a little 679 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 2: bit different because then Alabama can put points on the board. 680 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 2: Potentially it will. But the other thing I'll say is 681 00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 2: the thing that you want to attack on the Missippi 682 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 2: State defense not the pass passing. It's the run defense 683 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 2: of theirs. That's what you're so I expect Jumior Gibbs 684 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 2: to have a big game, but with Bryce Young again, 685 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 2: with the status and everything else that I mentioned with 686 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 2: Mississippi State's pass defense, they could be able to lock 687 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 2: him down a little bit, perhaps better than Tennessee Dead. 688 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 2: So right now, with where that line is, I lean 689 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 2: the Missippi State side. 690 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 1: All Right, one more game that I want to ask 691 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 1: you about here, certainly not one of the big contests 692 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 1: with heavyweight teams here, San Diego State and Nevada are 693 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 1: going to be playing against each other. And when I 694 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 1: was entering the numbers for the for US and our 695 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 1: rundown here, I had to go back and check this 696 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: one three times just to make sure it wasn't a typo. 697 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 1: The total in this game, I know we normally talk 698 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: about sides, is the one total I want to talk 699 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 1: about because it's at thirty six for a college football game. 700 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: Is this I get that these two teams are bad, 701 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 1: but I mean, no one in their right mind has 702 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 1: beenting under thirty six. But do you think that this 703 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: total is where it should be? 704 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 2: Well, so mine was forty nine and a half, but 705 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,359 Speaker 2: again that's not accounting for the injuries. Like both these 706 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 2: teams at full strength, right and they're not specifically on 707 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 2: the San Diego State side. Now, San Diego State had 708 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 2: the bye last week, so we need to recheck in 709 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 2: on the status of some. 710 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 3: Of these guys. 711 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 2: But the last game San Diego State played, their quarterback 712 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 2: room was so decimated by injuries they had to move 713 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:34,840 Speaker 2: a kid from safety to quarterback that week to start 714 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 2: against I think it was Hawaii the week before last. 715 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 2: Maiden Jalen Maiden, I believe his name, and he had 716 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,719 Speaker 2: come over. He had played quarterback early on his career, 717 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 2: actually ironically at Missippi State, you know team you were 718 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 2: just talking about, and then it transferred over to San 719 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 2: Diego State. 720 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 3: He Missippi stated had been like, you're not a quarterback, and. 721 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 2: So he had gone to San Diego State and then 722 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 2: he was gonna, you know, try to make his football 723 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,319 Speaker 2: career going forward as a safety. But then it was 724 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 2: so bad at quarterback. They'd be like, Maiden, we need 725 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 2: you to play quarterback. He did okay against Hawaii's defense, 726 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 2: but Hawaii's defense is low level FCS quality. 727 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 3: I think it would be fair to say this one 728 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 3: against Nevada. 729 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,279 Speaker 2: I mean Nevada, it's more or less the same, but 730 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:19,760 Speaker 2: it's the quality opponent. 731 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:20,320 Speaker 3: Nevada. 732 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 2: We've seen them now multiple times against really poor competition, 733 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 2: have struggled to put up points last night, it was 734 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:27,800 Speaker 2: against Hawaii. 735 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 3: That was the late game. 736 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 2: Hawaii upset Nevada, and a big part of the reasons 737 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 2: was because Nevada couldn't move the ball. Nevada shockingly, even 738 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 2: though Nevada's best offensive players to Atawa, they're running back, 739 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:41,879 Speaker 2: they were struggling to run the ball. 740 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,879 Speaker 3: The way they were generating forward movement. 741 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,719 Speaker 2: Was just dumping the ball off to Tatawa in the 742 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 2: receiving game and then having him run. I don't have 743 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:51,440 Speaker 2: the stats in front of me, but he had like 744 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 2: six catches for like seventy yards. That was like the 745 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,400 Speaker 2: bulk of Nevada's yardage for the game. Nevada's going to 746 00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 2: have to figure that out. San Diego State's defense is 747 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,799 Speaker 2: way better than Hawaii's in San Diego State going back 748 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,719 Speaker 2: years and years and years, has always had a good 749 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 2: run defense. So so Nevada's gonna have to figure that 750 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 2: thing out. But then on the other side of San 751 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,439 Speaker 2: Diego State, you're gonna have to look into the health 752 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,399 Speaker 2: of their quarterback room. They're gonna get Burmester back, if 753 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,399 Speaker 2: not that one of the backups, or is it going 754 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 2: to be we're playing the safety at quarterback again, and 755 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,719 Speaker 2: that one could go any different way. 756 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:25,960 Speaker 3: Like the Hawaii thing. 757 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 2: I think that probably went about as good as San 758 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 2: Diego State could hope for and they sort of ground 759 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:31,799 Speaker 2: out this very close win. 760 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 3: You don't want to be doing that in more games 761 00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:35,120 Speaker 3: than that. 762 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,319 Speaker 2: So we'll see if San Diego State is able to 763 00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,440 Speaker 2: start one of the guys that began the season as 764 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,960 Speaker 2: a quarterback, they're certainly gonna do that. 765 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 3: That would put in jeopardy the under. 766 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 2: But if San Diego State trotting out the safety again 767 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,239 Speaker 2: and they're playing this Nevada team that we know can't 768 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 2: move the ball, and Nevada is their best thing is 769 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 2: gonna be going into the strength of the San Diego 770 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:56,240 Speaker 2: State defense. 771 00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,400 Speaker 3: That's why this number is as low as it is. 772 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,360 Speaker 2: Also could justify an under bet, so you got to 773 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:03,480 Speaker 2: check on the status there. 774 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,600 Speaker 1: It's gonna be an interesting one. I look forward to 775 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,480 Speaker 1: that rock fight. I want to see some bad college 776 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,000 Speaker 1: football this week, for especially. 777 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:13,919 Speaker 3: Especially the late night games.
