<v Speaker 1>bringing us ahead in college football. We're already onto week

0:00:17.880 --> 0:00:22.360
<v Speaker 1>eight or at Syracuse here we go. We're getting excited

0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:28.080
<v Speaker 1>now beat NC State Bowl eligible after just six games.

0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Could not have imagined this start, and it brings us

0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:33.840
<v Speaker 1>into our first game to talk about here for I mean,

0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:37.280
<v Speaker 1>first off, how are you doing? And second off, SYRACU

0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:38.720
<v Speaker 1>is gonna be able to take down Clemson.

0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:45.959
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing great. Yesterday we're recording on Sunday night. Saturday

0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:50.839
<v Speaker 2>was fabulous. It had gotten as much hype, more hype

0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:54.960
<v Speaker 2>than any other Saturday this season so far, and maybe

0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:58.600
<v Speaker 2>even over last season Saturdays as well, and it somehow

0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:02.480
<v Speaker 2>exceeded the hype. The games were just fabulous. Like the

0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:05.280
<v Speaker 2>theater of it just I mean, like the two thirty

0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:09.560
<v Speaker 2>slot Central time was amazing, but like the whole day

0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:11.840
<v Speaker 2>was amazing, you know in terms of like having games

0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 2>up on your screen, and some of those games were

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:18.360
<v Speaker 2>just instant classics. I'm looking at U Tennessee, Alabama, and

0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:22.600
<v Speaker 2>then at night the dessert course of Utah USC was

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:24.720
<v Speaker 2>an incredible game as well. So it was just the

0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:28.120
<v Speaker 2>whole thing, just a great college football Saturday. Excited to

0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:31.640
<v Speaker 2>talk about the Lions. And as far as as Syracuse

0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:35.840
<v Speaker 2>clems in, that's a tough matchup for all Syracuse, isn't.

0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:39.160
<v Speaker 1>It eleven and a half point dogs going into Clemson here,

0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna be tough.

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Syracuse has caught it right both with the schedule.

0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:47.640
<v Speaker 2>Early on they were able to ambush Louisville in the opener,

0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:50.880
<v Speaker 2>and then you know, it hasn't been the hardest slate

0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, to this point. And then you have this

0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:55.560
<v Speaker 2>game Againstenzee State that you would have been the preseason

0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:57.880
<v Speaker 2>circled as like this is gonna be a tough one.

0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:00.400
<v Speaker 2>Once he Stayed had just lost Devin Larry and they

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:02.280
<v Speaker 2>were banged up as well, and they had to turn

0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:05.120
<v Speaker 2>around on a you know, on a regular week whatever.

0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:08.080
<v Speaker 2>After that, they just sort of snuck by FSU with

0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:11.079
<v Speaker 2>all these injuries. And then Yah, Syracuse of course, as

0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:13.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, had essentially a two straight bye weeks. You'd

0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 2>had you were coming off the buy and then you

0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:18.519
<v Speaker 2>played Wagner the week before. Circumstantially it worked out really

0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:22.200
<v Speaker 2>well this one. This is gonna be a tough one Syracuse.

0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Of course, as you know, they need to be led

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 2>by the run game. This year, they can do way

0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:30.000
<v Speaker 2>more of the passing. It's way more of a threat

0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:32.560
<v Speaker 2>than it was last year. But you still need to

0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:35.679
<v Speaker 2>be led by the running foot in that. If Syracuse's

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:39.840
<v Speaker 2>run game goes away that entire offense, you take the

0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:42.840
<v Speaker 2>tent pole out of the circus tent and the whole

0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:45.640
<v Speaker 2>top comes down. Clemson's a team that's able to do

0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:47.280
<v Speaker 2>that with their defensive front.

0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Then again, this was the theory of why they were

0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 2>going to blow out wake Forth earlier in the season,

0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:55.760
<v Speaker 2>and they have in the past, but Clemson didn't do

0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:59.720
<v Speaker 2>it this year. Clemson's offense has gotten better, but their defense,

0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:02.160
<v Speaker 2>to personnel of it. People have been in, people have

0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 2>been out. They've not been as quite as consistent defensively

0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:07.239
<v Speaker 2>as we thought coming in.

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:09.520
<v Speaker 3>Their secondary has played better.

0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:12.840
<v Speaker 2>I will say that initially first couple weeks of the season,

0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:15.600
<v Speaker 2>Clemson was getting torch through the air. That's gotten a

0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:18.200
<v Speaker 2>little bit better. But if Clemson's able to take away

0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:21.000
<v Speaker 2>that run game of Syracuse. They're gonna run away with

0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:23.880
<v Speaker 2>this thing. But we'll see about the health of their

0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:27.000
<v Speaker 2>front who is active, who is one hundred percent where

0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:28.519
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna be able to play the line share of

0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 2>the usage because because of circumstances cleansing their front seven

0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:36.880
<v Speaker 2>vaunted for sure talent wise, the best in college football

0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:40.000
<v Speaker 2>this season, but because of all the moving parts, they've

0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:44.240
<v Speaker 2>had to minimize guys' roles, limits snaps, and or guys

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:44.960
<v Speaker 2>just being out.

0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:46.320
<v Speaker 3>So we'll see how that goes.

0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 2>But if they're able to shut off the tap of

0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:50.280
<v Speaker 2>a Syracuse run game, they're going to be in a

0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:51.160
<v Speaker 2>really good spot here.

0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:55.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, I'm more than nervous. It's hard to

0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:57.040
<v Speaker 1>be nervous when you're eleven and a half point dogs.

0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 1>You're just hoping that something can happen. We'll have to

0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 1>see in this game, and you can hit that nail

0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:05.640
<v Speaker 1>on the head with let the success from yesterday, it

0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:08.040
<v Speaker 1>was a fantastic day. I have another buddy who gives

0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:10.040
<v Speaker 1>me a couple college football picks a week, and I

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:12.680
<v Speaker 1>just like he knows the sport enough where I'm following

0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:17.119
<v Speaker 1>him pretty comfortably blind. And yesterday I just had the Inklan.

0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:18.400
<v Speaker 1>I was like, ah, you know what, I took four

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:20.720
<v Speaker 1>of them, put him in a little parlay. Ends up

0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:22.279
<v Speaker 1>with a nice little bonus out of the day, which

0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:24.279
<v Speaker 1>is good because I've taken a bath on NFL so

0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:29.279
<v Speaker 1>far this Sunday. But speaking of teams that took a bath, here,

0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Ohio State is going up against Iowa, and I think

0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:36.039
<v Speaker 1>that this might be the game where we finally get

0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:38.560
<v Speaker 1>more than a couple of touchdowns in an Iowa football game,

0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:41.960
<v Speaker 1>don't you think here Thorn minus twenty nine in the

0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:43.200
<v Speaker 1>Horseshoe with the Buckeyes.

0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:47.360
<v Speaker 2>Boy do I hope so? Because if not, this one

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:49.600
<v Speaker 2>could turn into a margin thing real quick.

0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:50.000
<v Speaker 3>It.

0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:52.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we're gonna know really early after the kickoff,

0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:55.119
<v Speaker 2>probably in the first you know, half of the first quarter,

0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:59.400
<v Speaker 2>whether Iowa can be viable whatsoever. Iowa obviously wants to

0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:02.200
<v Speaker 2>turn it into a rock fight Ohio. Ohio State is

0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:04.160
<v Speaker 2>going to try to impose a track meet on them.

0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:08.480
<v Speaker 2>Can Iowa do the rock fight thing enough to stay

0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:11.440
<v Speaker 2>close and or push it into the fourth quarter?

0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:13.080
<v Speaker 3>We'll see about that.

0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:15.680
<v Speaker 2>There's been games, In fact, I went to one in

0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:19.560
<v Speaker 2>Kinnick Stadium that four or five years ago where Iowa

0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:23.200
<v Speaker 2>was a heavy underdog to Ohio State. Nate Stanley was

0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:26.960
<v Speaker 2>the quarterback Iowa ambush Ohio State. In that game, there

0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:31.839
<v Speaker 2>was multiple pick six as a JT. Barrett and then Stanley.

0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:34.960
<v Speaker 2>They didn't i would did not have to ask Stanley

0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:37.599
<v Speaker 2>to force the ball and stuff like that and then

0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:40.000
<v Speaker 2>put him in a bad situation because the game script

0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:41.520
<v Speaker 2>then flipped into their direction.

0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:44.640
<v Speaker 3>But Iowa's offense, Thomas, as you know.

0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Is brutal, brutal, brual, brutal.

0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.440
<v Speaker 2>Their offensive line is not good. They're running back town

0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:52.000
<v Speaker 2>his way down, and we know the quarterbacks one of

0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:54.760
<v Speaker 2>the worst quarterbacks in all of the FBS going down

0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:57.640
<v Speaker 2>to the G five. And their receiving course stinks too.

0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:01.080
<v Speaker 2>The only kid that got is really Sam Laporte on offense.

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:03.440
<v Speaker 2>So you're, i mean, as an Iowa fan, you're you're

0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:08.080
<v Speaker 2>certainly concerned the line is justified. But Iowa there is

0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:10.360
<v Speaker 2>a shot that they could at least impose the rock

0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:13.600
<v Speaker 2>fight thing, And certainly with where you have this thing,

0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:16.320
<v Speaker 2>with the margin of it, you can make an argument

0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:18.400
<v Speaker 2>for Iowa. But that's what I'm going to be digging

0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:20.520
<v Speaker 2>into in my my handicap this week.

0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:21.240
<v Speaker 3>With that game.

0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, I don't know that I was got.

0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:27.440
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm completely with you on this one. I

0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:29.120
<v Speaker 1>don't think that I was going to be able to

0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:30.960
<v Speaker 1>keep this one as close as they need to. But

0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 1>twenty nine could be a lot, could be interesting. But

0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 1>let's move on to your team here, Kansas going up

0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:38.880
<v Speaker 1>against Baylor. Baylor going to be eight and a half

0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:42.719
<v Speaker 1>point favorites in this one. Baylor, there were so many

0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:45.680
<v Speaker 1>good games yesterday. Did they get the win against BYU?

0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:49.480
<v Speaker 2>I forget well, well, Baylor, they they lost to BUYU

0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:52.599
<v Speaker 2>earlier in the year, thinking overtime, I'm sorry, I'm.

0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Thinking of the Arkansas YU game there. Completely ignore me,

0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:56.120
<v Speaker 1>completely ignore me.

0:06:56.240 --> 0:07:00.240
<v Speaker 2>Baylor played West Virginia on Thursday night and they Yeah,

0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:00.920
<v Speaker 2>that's what it was.

0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:01.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:06.000
<v Speaker 2>And this is a topical point to this handicap because

0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:08.640
<v Speaker 2>Baylor would have won that game if not for injuries

0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:12.080
<v Speaker 2>suffered during it. They not only lost their best offensive player,

0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:15.480
<v Speaker 2>Blake shape And who was I think Blake Shapin had

0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:18.280
<v Speaker 2>his best career game against West Virginia, even though he

0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.880
<v Speaker 2>got knocked out early in the third quarter of that game,

0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:23.880
<v Speaker 2>like he threw for over three hundred yards, which he'd done,

0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.280
<v Speaker 2>I think only once or twice before that, but the

0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.440
<v Speaker 2>efficiency and everything was there. That's what you were sort

0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:32.920
<v Speaker 2>of hoping for looking at the handicap because West Virginia's

0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:34.000
<v Speaker 2>pass defense.

0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:34.400
<v Speaker 3>Is so bad.

0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:38.400
<v Speaker 2>But Shaping goes down Baylor's backup Kyron Drones, who had

0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:41.640
<v Speaker 2>been the QB three before Jerry Bohannan left and Baylor

0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:44.680
<v Speaker 2>started to shove Jerry Bohannan out the door. But Drones,

0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:48.840
<v Speaker 2>He's a good athlete, but he's incredibly raw as a

0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:51.760
<v Speaker 2>passer right now, not only in terms of reading the

0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:54.120
<v Speaker 2>defense itself, in the accuracy and the plays and stuff

0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:57.520
<v Speaker 2>like that, but also the pocket presence also just general

0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:00.240
<v Speaker 2>game awareness, which manifested the very end of that game,

0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:03.320
<v Speaker 2>their final drive. It's like he didn't realize he only

0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:05.880
<v Speaker 2>needed to get the ball to like the opponent's thirty

0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:08.800
<v Speaker 2>two yard line to try for a game tying field

0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:10.520
<v Speaker 2>goal attempt that would afford, you know, push the game

0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:13.600
<v Speaker 2>to overtime. He was doing things like, you know, scrambling around,

0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:17.040
<v Speaker 2>taking up too much time or air mailing throwaways where

0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:19.560
<v Speaker 2>it took you know, extra time off the clock, et cetera.

0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:22.080
<v Speaker 3>Blake shape and his status is very important.

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:24.880
<v Speaker 2>And then While they lost their Baylor lost their best

0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:26.720
<v Speaker 2>offensive player in that game. They also lost their best

0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:30.840
<v Speaker 2>defensive player. Sayaki Eka. I hope I'm pronouncing that name correctly.

0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:35.240
<v Speaker 2>He's their planet sized noseguard with three hundred and fifty

0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:38.360
<v Speaker 2>pounds or whatever, and extremely active, you know, like a

0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Vince will Fork type or the Danny Shelton type, you know,

0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:43.720
<v Speaker 2>the kid from Washington a couple of years ago.

0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:45.480
<v Speaker 3>He's that kind of a player.

0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:49.240
<v Speaker 2>With him out, that Baylor was much easier as well

0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:52.840
<v Speaker 2>to deal for West Virginia's offense, to deal with their defense,

0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:55.560
<v Speaker 2>we got to check on shape and status. We got

0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:59.679
<v Speaker 2>to check on ECA's status for sure. And Baylor already

0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:04.120
<v Speaker 2>had to these health concerns with their skill talent on offense.

0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:06.760
<v Speaker 2>Uh Tay McWilliams, the guy who is there they're projected

0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:09.760
<v Speaker 2>starting running back coming out of camp, has barely played

0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:10.160
<v Speaker 2>this year.

0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:12.520
<v Speaker 3>We'll see if if they're able to get him back.

0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.920
<v Speaker 2>But but one example of some of the injuries that

0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:19.559
<v Speaker 2>that they have had, they also Craig Squirrel Squirrel Williams

0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:23.040
<v Speaker 2>on Thursday against Western Virginia. He also got injured. So

0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:27.600
<v Speaker 2>like they Baylor's had this this this small true freshman

0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:30.840
<v Speaker 2>Richard Reese. This running back has sort of stepped up

0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:33.240
<v Speaker 2>with some of these running back injuries. But now when

0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:35.839
<v Speaker 2>you have like if if if Squirrel Williams can't play

0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.040
<v Speaker 2>and Tate McWilliams is not ready to come back yet,

0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:41.440
<v Speaker 2>you'll have a guy uh in in Reese that does

0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:45.560
<v Speaker 2>not have a frame for full college usage yet or

0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:48.960
<v Speaker 2>maybe ever who Baylor may have to thrust into that

0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:51.600
<v Speaker 2>role just because they won't have any depth, And then

0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:53.600
<v Speaker 2>you're you're curious about the shape and thing as well.

0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:57.160
<v Speaker 2>On the Kansas side, Jalen Daniels certainly is not going

0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:01.160
<v Speaker 2>to play. There was an interesting report by I believe

0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:03.720
<v Speaker 2>it was Pete Thamil I hope, I'm I'm, I'm I'm

0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:06.680
<v Speaker 2>remembering this right. I believe it's Pete Theamia that reported this,

0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:09.240
<v Speaker 2>and apologies if I got the reporter wrong.

0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:12.959
<v Speaker 3>I'm pretty sure as him, but he reported on Saturday.

0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:18.720
<v Speaker 2>I believe that Daniels there the earliest possible date that

0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:19.600
<v Speaker 2>he could return.

0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:21.640
<v Speaker 3>It was there. I think it was their.

0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:25.000
<v Speaker 2>First game in November November sixth or like something like that.

0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:30.040
<v Speaker 2>And this winch to Jalen Daniels' point of last week

0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:34.079
<v Speaker 2>when Jalen Daniels quote tweeted the reporter who from the

0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:37.360
<v Speaker 2>Laurence Ternal World, the local newspaper of the Jayhawks, who

0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:39.640
<v Speaker 2>had reported that Daniels was going to miss the rest

0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:43.079
<v Speaker 2>of the season with a separated throwing shoulder, that he'd

0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:45.400
<v Speaker 2>been diagnosed with that, and then Daniel's quote tweeted and

0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:48.720
<v Speaker 2>was like, well, that's news to me. So Thamil's report

0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:51.560
<v Speaker 2>at least gives hope to the idea that that Daniels

0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:53.400
<v Speaker 2>could come back this season. But you're not going to

0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:56.160
<v Speaker 2>see him this week. We're gonna get Jason Bean again.

0:10:56.800 --> 0:11:01.360
<v Speaker 2>Bean has analogous talent to Jay Daniels for sure, and

0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:06.000
<v Speaker 2>he's experienced as well. It's just he is far more inconsistent.

0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:08.600
<v Speaker 2>It all goes back to the decision making with him.

0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:12.120
<v Speaker 2>When he's on the accuracy is there, the timing's on,

0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:14.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, all that sort of stuff, and he has

0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:17.760
<v Speaker 2>the athleticism to augment it. Jason Bean was a track

0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:21.040
<v Speaker 2>star in high school in Texas, arguably the fastest player

0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:24.640
<v Speaker 2>on the Kansas roster, including the secondary, But the decision

0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:25.520
<v Speaker 2>making could come.

0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:26.079
<v Speaker 3>And go with him.

0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:28.800
<v Speaker 2>He'll he'll you know, like once every quarter, so he'll

0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:31.560
<v Speaker 2>have a decision where you're just like, what did you

0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:32.040
<v Speaker 2>see there?

0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:34.080
<v Speaker 3>What was going through your head sort of a thing.

0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:37.520
<v Speaker 1>And you saw that, you saw that last game. But

0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:41.000
<v Speaker 1>full credit to Kansas when he came in and there

0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:42.920
<v Speaker 1>were the times when he had those head scratching decisions,

0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:45.040
<v Speaker 1>but there were also the times when he was really

0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:48.360
<v Speaker 1>good and Kansas clearly felt confident enough in him that

0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:51.160
<v Speaker 1>they didn't turtle up when they were trying to go

0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:52.960
<v Speaker 1>for the lead there, and when they had to play

0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:56.440
<v Speaker 1>aggressive in that game, they kept firing and firing with

0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:59.040
<v Speaker 1>him as their quarterback. Do you think they'll stay aggressive?

0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:03.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, selectively aggressive is the way I put it, because

0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:08.280
<v Speaker 2>because Leopold system, you managed to stay efficient while you

0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:11.440
<v Speaker 2>open up opportunities for the explosive plays and that's what

0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:14.640
<v Speaker 2>we saw earlier this season. But yeah, your points well

0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:19.560
<v Speaker 2>taken being sort of facilitated or helped out the Oklahoma

0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:23.199
<v Speaker 2>defense on a couple time beleaguered Oklahoma defense. That was

0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:26.000
<v Speaker 2>sort of the frustrating thing on the Kansas side was

0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:28.480
<v Speaker 2>there was a couple of decisions there that flipped the

0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:31.320
<v Speaker 2>field that you know, again, you don't really know what

0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.920
<v Speaker 2>he's seeing, and I mean, you know, you can go

0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:36.480
<v Speaker 2>back to his previous work in previous years, But you

0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:39.240
<v Speaker 2>can also just go back to the TCU game. Jason

0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Bean was lights out in that game, barring like three plays,

0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:46.240
<v Speaker 2>one of which turned into an interception. The other couple

0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:48.559
<v Speaker 2>were just as ugly. It's just the result of the

0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:51.679
<v Speaker 2>play wasn't quite as bad. But again just the head

0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:55.120
<v Speaker 2>scratching thing that the consistency for him is going to

0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:57.680
<v Speaker 2>be super important. And how many of those dud plays

0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:00.440
<v Speaker 2>you get, trying to minimize them as much as you can,

0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:04.240
<v Speaker 2>but going up against this Baylor team that is I

0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:06.760
<v Speaker 2>mean the whole depth chart right now, You're you're looking

0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:09.440
<v Speaker 2>at the injury report. You want to see the updates

0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:12.640
<v Speaker 2>on those, but they are a badly beaten up team. However,

0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:16.240
<v Speaker 2>whatever way you slice it, And if Blake Shape isn't starting,

0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:20.000
<v Speaker 2>the drop off from Shape into drones certainly is bigger

0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:23.520
<v Speaker 2>than the dropoff from Daniels to Bean. And then if

0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Baylor doesn't have their their planet sized war Daddy in

0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:30.760
<v Speaker 2>the middle in Eka, it's going to be easier for

0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.880
<v Speaker 2>Kansas to run, which will increase the efficiency of the

0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:37.280
<v Speaker 2>Kansas offense, which again is going to facilitate the explosive

0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:40.400
<v Speaker 2>plays If Kansas can't be efficient on offense, those explosive

0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:43.280
<v Speaker 2>plays won't be there for him. That's the shoe that

0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:45.640
<v Speaker 2>they're led with. But if they can get that run

0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:48.000
<v Speaker 2>game going, if they can get up and then being

0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:51.319
<v Speaker 2>on the perimeter and stuff like that off the boot legs,

0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:54.600
<v Speaker 2>that's how you open up these explosive play opportunities. We'll

0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:57.280
<v Speaker 2>have to see on ECA status, but it's this is

0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:58.640
<v Speaker 2>a game that could go either way.

0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:00.840
<v Speaker 3>That the open line of this thing.

0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:03.599
<v Speaker 2>I think this is a little bit puffed up considering

0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:07.240
<v Speaker 2>Baylor's health concerns right now. Again, Shape and their best

0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:10.600
<v Speaker 2>offensive player might not play. They have bad problems in

0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:13.240
<v Speaker 2>the running back room right now whoever's gonna be active,

0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:17.320
<v Speaker 2>and their best defensive player, a first round prospect in Eka,

0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:19.640
<v Speaker 2>is also questionable right now. So this is a game

0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:21.200
<v Speaker 2>you have to You're gonna have to look into the

0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:23.360
<v Speaker 2>injury report all week and see on the statuses of

0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:23.800
<v Speaker 2>the kids.

0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:24.840
<v Speaker 3>But at least as.

0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.200
<v Speaker 2>Far as what we know right now on Sunday night,

0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:31.120
<v Speaker 2>that line seems a bit inflated for where Baylor is

0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:34.600
<v Speaker 2>as a team and then what we've seen and then

0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:36.200
<v Speaker 2>also where their health is right now.

0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:40.080
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be an interesting one. I'm looking forward to it.

0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:41.400
<v Speaker 1>But you know what else I'm looking forward to. We

0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:45.040
<v Speaker 1>got LSU going up against ole Miss. Here LSU they

0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:47.800
<v Speaker 1>were able to get it done down in the Swamp

0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:51.040
<v Speaker 1>against the Gators. Now that come home to the Buyo

0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:52.560
<v Speaker 1>where they have to take on an ole Miss team

0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:55.520
<v Speaker 1>that's still seven to oher. The big teams that are

0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:59.160
<v Speaker 1>getting the headlines in the SEC right now, obviously you've

0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:02.760
<v Speaker 1>got Bama, Tennessee and Georgia. This Ole Miss team is

0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:04.800
<v Speaker 1>right up there with them. Do you think that they're

0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:09.160
<v Speaker 1>for real? Are they kind of in a second tier below? Uh?

0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:13.320
<v Speaker 2>I'll say, uh real ish. I don't know if that

0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:17.160
<v Speaker 2>would completely go to the category categorization that you're talking about.

0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:20.480
<v Speaker 2>But I still have my concerns about Mississippi for sure.

0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:24.360
<v Speaker 2>Their their offense has been a bit stop and start.

0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:28.440
<v Speaker 2>Where they've they've sort of there's the stretches where they

0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.280
<v Speaker 2>are not putting points on the board have been way

0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:34.000
<v Speaker 2>more prolonged than you would have anticipated in the preseason.

0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:36.359
<v Speaker 3>The the overall tree.

0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:39.720
<v Speaker 2>Top stats haven't looked as bad parcause because lane in

0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:41.480
<v Speaker 2>a couple of these games is poured on at the end.

0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:44.200
<v Speaker 2>Although he didn't decide to do that last Saturday, or

0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:46.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, yesterday when he could have he decided to

0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:48.360
<v Speaker 2>take a knee in that one. But we've seen some

0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:50.360
<v Speaker 2>of these other games he hadn't done that. But you

0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:53.720
<v Speaker 2>still have questions overall about the ole Miss offense. But

0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:57.160
<v Speaker 2>I will say the talent there that we have projected

0:15:57.520 --> 0:15:59.560
<v Speaker 2>of maybe there won't be that big of a drop

0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:02.240
<v Speaker 2>off half Matt corrall Leaves and all the guys that

0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:05.000
<v Speaker 2>they they had before, you know, the last era of

0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:08.160
<v Speaker 2>the Rebels. We thought that this offense was going to

0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:10.920
<v Speaker 2>be better, going to bring in Jackson, start bringing Zach Evans,

0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:15.520
<v Speaker 2>this Judkins kid. Now as you served, you know from

0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:17.760
<v Speaker 2>the beginning of the season, had you serve Ulysses Bentley,

0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:19.840
<v Speaker 2>who we thought would have a bigger role whatever, he's

0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:21.600
<v Speaker 2>turned out to be his stud They have all the

0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:22.640
<v Speaker 2>receivers as well.

0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:25.480
<v Speaker 3>Will that offense start to pick it up? We'll see.

0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:30.200
<v Speaker 2>Lane Kiffin is not amending his play calling strategy whatsoever

0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:33.400
<v Speaker 2>in the meantime as as this new group is sort

0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:36.320
<v Speaker 2>of trying to pick it up. Remember, Lane Kiffin remade

0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:40.440
<v Speaker 2>his roster as much, arguably as especially in the offensive

0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:43.240
<v Speaker 2>side of the Ball as any roster before it in

0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:46.200
<v Speaker 2>the history of college football outside of Lincoln Riley, Like

0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Lane Kiffen went out and signed as many guys who

0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:50.680
<v Speaker 2>are going to be starting for the next year as

0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:55.240
<v Speaker 2>we had seen for a sitting head coach prior to that, right,

0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:58.000
<v Speaker 2>like you know, and the rule change is obviously helped

0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:01.520
<v Speaker 2>facilitate this. But Lane Kiffin the portal king, and it

0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:04.119
<v Speaker 2>wasn't that he brought players with him to where he went.

0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:07.680
<v Speaker 2>He just remade that roster as we went. So I'm

0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:10.680
<v Speaker 2>still hopeful that the the ole Miss offense will become

0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:13.480
<v Speaker 2>what the some of its parts say it can be.

0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:16.200
<v Speaker 2>In the meantime, their defense is playing a bit better

0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:18.480
<v Speaker 2>than we thought it was, so they sort of made

0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:20.919
<v Speaker 2>up the ground in that way. But ole Miss is

0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:23.280
<v Speaker 2>on offense, they're still playing at the number one pace

0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:26.359
<v Speaker 2>in the entire country. They're still playing at that that

0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:29.199
<v Speaker 2>breakneck pace, And I think Lane's just hoping that that

0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:32.919
<v Speaker 2>it's eventually gonna that everything's gonna coal last because at

0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:35.679
<v Speaker 2>the point that it does, that's how you can, potentially,

0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:39.359
<v Speaker 2>to your to your first question, get yourself into a

0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:42.040
<v Speaker 2>position where potentially you can take down one of those.

0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:45.840
<v Speaker 3>Those big Tigers of the the SEC.

0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:49.000
<v Speaker 2>But right now, with where the offense is, I I

0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:50.840
<v Speaker 2>don't know that I would say that that they're cable

0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:51.040
<v Speaker 2>of that.

0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:52.800
<v Speaker 1>Well, they might be, and they might have to work

0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:54.480
<v Speaker 1>to take out on one of the big Tigers of

0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:58.680
<v Speaker 1>the SEC, but they're actually getting their laying two points

0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:01.680
<v Speaker 1>in LSU. Can they take up the LSU tires this weekend?

0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:02.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:05.520
<v Speaker 2>My spread on that game is Ole Miss minus too,

0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:09.760
<v Speaker 2>So I'm I'm right there on the Vegas line this game.

0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:13.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to handicap all week My initial lean would

0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:17.280
<v Speaker 2>probably be towards Ole Mess just because I mean, the

0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:20.800
<v Speaker 2>offense hasn't been consistent, but overall the team has been.

0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:24.520
<v Speaker 2>And then LSU, you've had this team where you see

0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:26.800
<v Speaker 2>some you know, it's like sort of like every other

0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:29.280
<v Speaker 2>week with them a little bit where some of these

0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:31.880
<v Speaker 2>games you get the effort and they look really good,

0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:34.760
<v Speaker 2>like yesterday when they traveled down to Florida and they

0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:37.600
<v Speaker 2>controlled that entire game and they ended up winning by ten,

0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:39.840
<v Speaker 2>but they were leading by more than that for a

0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:42.040
<v Speaker 2>large portion of that game. But then you have these

0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:45.520
<v Speaker 2>other games where it's like like like Brian Kelly was

0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:47.760
<v Speaker 2>lamenting after the Tennessee game, and we now know that

0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:51.359
<v Speaker 2>Tennessee is awesome for sure, but it wasn't Tennessee didn't

0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:54.840
<v Speaker 2>beat him by almost thirty points in Baton Rouge because

0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:58.080
<v Speaker 2>of that. LFU helped them to do that as well.

0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:01.399
<v Speaker 2>You had the fumble of the opening, and then it

0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:05.119
<v Speaker 2>didn't seem like LSU's effort was awesome the rest of

0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:08.720
<v Speaker 2>that game or even the continuity of the strategy, and

0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:10.880
<v Speaker 2>then it started to get away from them, and then

0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:14.680
<v Speaker 2>it started to get ugly with LSU. You can't get

0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:18.240
<v Speaker 2>your finger completely on the motivation of that team, et cetera.

0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:21.320
<v Speaker 2>But coming off of a big win, this would be

0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:23.359
<v Speaker 2>the time for me where I'd sort of leaned the

0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:25.919
<v Speaker 2>other way, especially with an Ole miss team that I'm

0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:28.119
<v Speaker 2>starting to trust a little bit more overall, even though

0:19:28.160 --> 0:19:30.639
<v Speaker 2>I don't completely trust that offense yet, but they have

0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:33.119
<v Speaker 2>the pieces, like I said, and projected them to be

0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:33.879
<v Speaker 2>better in the summer.

0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:37.560
<v Speaker 1>Now, how about this next game that we've got up here,

0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:41.040
<v Speaker 1>It is going to be another banger. Texas and Oklahoma State.

0:19:41.119 --> 0:19:45.360
<v Speaker 1>Okay State, they lost a TCU in that ridiculous overtime

0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:48.560
<v Speaker 1>game forty three to forty. Now they have to come

0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:52.080
<v Speaker 1>back and take on a Texas team that does look

0:19:52.160 --> 0:19:56.480
<v Speaker 1>pretty back. Texas just going to continue on those upwards ascent. Yeah,

0:19:56.480 --> 0:19:59.480
<v Speaker 1>they didn't get though, they didn't get what they were

0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:02.879
<v Speaker 1>looking for versus Bama, but they still looked like a

0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:05.120
<v Speaker 1>good team so far. And Quinn yours is playing ball.

0:20:06.200 --> 0:20:06.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:10.679
<v Speaker 2>The yesterday when Texas played Iowa State, it was the

0:20:10.880 --> 0:20:15.000
<v Speaker 2>classic Texas sleepy spot coming off the week where everyone

0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:17.359
<v Speaker 2>says Texas is back, and it was the classic Iowa

0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:22.040
<v Speaker 2>State ambush spot meeting, and we saw it like it

0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:23.720
<v Speaker 2>became a coin flip game at the end of the game.

0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:28.080
<v Speaker 2>I actually think Texas got lucky there. There was It

0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:29.840
<v Speaker 2>wasn't just one call. There was a couple of calls

0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:32.119
<v Speaker 2>at the end of the game or no calls that

0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:33.920
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people thought maybe should have gone the

0:20:33.960 --> 0:20:36.200
<v Speaker 2>other way. And there was the fumble where was Deckers

0:20:36.280 --> 0:20:40.200
<v Speaker 2>his knee down, et cetera. Texas was either way, it's

0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:42.760
<v Speaker 2>flice and Texas was very fortunate to escape with that

0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:46.200
<v Speaker 2>win in a game where they at some points during

0:20:46.200 --> 0:20:48.000
<v Speaker 2>the week they were a seventeen or a seventeen that

0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:50.520
<v Speaker 2>point favorite in the market. I think it closed, you know,

0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:53.359
<v Speaker 2>it's closer to like fifteen, because that then the sharps

0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:55.800
<v Speaker 2>got involved and you know, realized what the spot was

0:20:55.840 --> 0:20:56.400
<v Speaker 2>what it was.

0:20:57.280 --> 0:20:58.080
<v Speaker 3>You would figure at.

0:20:58.080 --> 0:21:00.800
<v Speaker 2>Least playing pop psychologists with the team, and I'll put

0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:03.720
<v Speaker 2>that hat on. You'd figure that you're gonna get a

0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:07.680
<v Speaker 2>more motivated Texas team this week. After the sleepy spot

0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:10.400
<v Speaker 2>and after they almost just blew it against Iowa State,

0:21:10.560 --> 0:21:13.200
<v Speaker 2>you'd figure you would get the better performance this week

0:21:13.840 --> 0:21:17.440
<v Speaker 2>traveling to Oklahoma State. I happen to think that Oklahoma

0:21:17.440 --> 0:21:20.000
<v Speaker 2>State a lot of what they're doing is smoking mirrors

0:21:20.840 --> 0:21:23.920
<v Speaker 2>this team of Oklahoma State. But they're still doing it right.

0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Like they outplayed PCU for the large schwath of that game,

0:21:28.840 --> 0:21:30.639
<v Speaker 2>and then it went against them at the very end.

0:21:30.640 --> 0:21:33.520
<v Speaker 2>They ended up losing that one in the overtime. But

0:21:34.240 --> 0:21:38.000
<v Speaker 2>they continue to exceed my expectations in this game. I

0:21:38.000 --> 0:21:40.399
<v Speaker 2>don't think I could back like where the line open

0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:42.960
<v Speaker 2>and where you anticipate it going. You know, it's a

0:21:43.040 --> 0:21:45.439
<v Speaker 2>four and a half. My line on this game is

0:21:45.600 --> 0:21:49.240
<v Speaker 2>Texas minus two. To me, it's closer to a coin flip.

0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:52.840
<v Speaker 2>I can't lay over four points with Texas in this

0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:55.720
<v Speaker 2>spot one way or the other. We'll see what happens

0:21:55.720 --> 0:21:58.280
<v Speaker 2>with the line this week, But for me right now,

0:21:58.320 --> 0:22:00.800
<v Speaker 2>with where it is, it would be Oklahoma State stay away.

0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I I like the I like the I like

0:22:04.080 --> 0:22:07.199
<v Speaker 1>Okie State in this one too. They've looked like a

0:22:07.240 --> 0:22:11.760
<v Speaker 1>tough team to me. But Texas they've been interesting as well.

0:22:11.800 --> 0:22:14.199
<v Speaker 1>But this I was honestly surprised that this line was

0:22:14.320 --> 0:22:16.280
<v Speaker 1>as low as it is at four and a half.

0:22:16.320 --> 0:22:18.320
<v Speaker 1>And yet even then, you think that they should be

0:22:18.320 --> 0:22:21.159
<v Speaker 1>closer to two. I'm with you, it's Okie State to

0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:24.040
<v Speaker 1>pass for me. Now, how about we got to talk

0:22:24.080 --> 0:22:27.240
<v Speaker 1>about the other team that was involved in that Oklahoma

0:22:27.240 --> 0:22:32.080
<v Speaker 1>State game TCU and Kansas State. Now k State getting

0:22:32.240 --> 0:22:35.040
<v Speaker 1>five points against the horn Frogs, who are undefeated and

0:22:35.800 --> 0:22:38.720
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden, they're they're the Big twelve champs

0:22:38.800 --> 0:22:40.879
<v Speaker 1>right now if they keep if they keep this up,

0:22:40.920 --> 0:22:43.960
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna be right there. Do you think the TCU

0:22:44.080 --> 0:22:46.359
<v Speaker 1>can get the job done? Are they for real or

0:22:46.400 --> 0:22:47.919
<v Speaker 1>do you think that they're just waiting for one of

0:22:47.920 --> 0:22:50.639
<v Speaker 1>these games where they're gonna slip up? But how do

0:22:50.640 --> 0:22:52.640
<v Speaker 1>you think they can fare against Kansas State? Is five

0:22:52.680 --> 0:22:53.600
<v Speaker 1>point favorites at home?

0:22:53.920 --> 0:22:57.040
<v Speaker 2>Straight up, you'd for sure lean TCU based on what

0:22:57.119 --> 0:22:59.840
<v Speaker 2>you'd seen with where the line is. Vegas dropped this

0:23:00.080 --> 0:23:02.400
<v Speaker 2>right on what my addressed line is. My addressed line

0:23:02.400 --> 0:23:04.760
<v Speaker 2>in this game is TCU minus five point one. It

0:23:04.800 --> 0:23:07.560
<v Speaker 2>opens a TCU minus five, so we're right on on

0:23:07.600 --> 0:23:12.360
<v Speaker 2>that line. These two teams play opposite right like Kansas

0:23:12.359 --> 0:23:14.120
<v Speaker 2>State wants they want to slow the game.

0:23:14.520 --> 0:23:15.720
<v Speaker 3>They want to run the ball more.

0:23:15.760 --> 0:23:18.760
<v Speaker 2>They forced a lot of usage to doce fun that

0:23:18.960 --> 0:23:22.400
<v Speaker 2>they're they're running back and then the quarterback runs around,

0:23:22.480 --> 0:23:27.320
<v Speaker 2>YadA YadA. TCU now they they have they do the

0:23:27.320 --> 0:23:29.600
<v Speaker 2>air raid, but there's a bit of a melding where

0:23:29.600 --> 0:23:31.439
<v Speaker 2>they also have the downhill running game and you have

0:23:31.480 --> 0:23:34.359
<v Speaker 2>the shifty kid in and Keandrey Miller doing it as well.

0:23:34.600 --> 0:23:37.119
<v Speaker 2>But their run game is really good as well. But

0:23:37.160 --> 0:23:39.320
<v Speaker 2>the passing game has become awesome, and that that was

0:23:39.359 --> 0:23:42.440
<v Speaker 2>the problem last year where tc just couldn't throw the ball.

0:23:42.800 --> 0:23:46.119
<v Speaker 2>Max Dugan, What a difference a day, Max, or what

0:23:46.160 --> 0:23:48.280
<v Speaker 2>a difference a year makes, you know, going from Gary

0:23:48.320 --> 0:23:52.159
<v Speaker 2>Patterson and the previous system now to Sonny Dike's in

0:23:52.160 --> 0:23:54.720
<v Speaker 2>the air raid, Max Dugan looks like a totally different

0:23:54.720 --> 0:23:58.439
<v Speaker 2>player and his viability through the air only helps what

0:23:58.600 --> 0:24:01.840
<v Speaker 2>is probably his best not probably, it definitely is his

0:24:01.920 --> 0:24:05.119
<v Speaker 2>best trait of his mobility because he's a tough runner,

0:24:05.240 --> 0:24:07.720
<v Speaker 2>He's an athletic kid. It seems to have an instinct

0:24:07.760 --> 0:24:11.280
<v Speaker 2>for it as well. So I like, right now, as

0:24:11.280 --> 0:24:13.359
<v Speaker 2>far as like you know, a you know, should you

0:24:13.359 --> 0:24:15.320
<v Speaker 2>bet this game early in the week, No, because I,

0:24:15.720 --> 0:24:17.520
<v Speaker 2>like I said, I think this line is right on.

0:24:17.720 --> 0:24:19.680
<v Speaker 3>It's a game that I'm gonna dig into this week.

0:24:20.119 --> 0:24:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Like I said, as far as the straight up thing,

0:24:22.600 --> 0:24:25.320
<v Speaker 2>I would certainly lean TCU right now, But as far

0:24:25.320 --> 0:24:27.320
<v Speaker 2>as the handicap, I'm gonna see what happens with this

0:24:27.440 --> 0:24:29.520
<v Speaker 2>line this week, and then I'm gonna dig it, you know,

0:24:29.560 --> 0:24:32.439
<v Speaker 2>a bit more into the antillary advanced metrics of the

0:24:32.640 --> 0:24:34.639
<v Speaker 2>on field matchup between both these teams.

0:24:35.200 --> 0:24:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Now, the next game that we have up here, Minnesota

0:24:37.960 --> 0:24:42.199
<v Speaker 1>versus Penn State Penn State LANG four in Happy Valley.

0:24:42.240 --> 0:24:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Can the golfers make something happen here? Or is Penn State?

0:24:45.520 --> 0:24:47.240
<v Speaker 1>Penn State feels to me like that team kind of

0:24:47.280 --> 0:24:49.000
<v Speaker 1>like at that ole Miss level. They're not quite one

0:24:49.040 --> 0:24:51.960
<v Speaker 1>of the top teams in the Big Ten. They're right

0:24:52.000 --> 0:24:53.760
<v Speaker 1>below Ohio State and Michigan for me.

0:24:53.840 --> 0:24:56.840
<v Speaker 2>But what do you think, Yeah, I mean this one

0:24:56.960 --> 0:24:59.639
<v Speaker 2>with the opening line here was gonna be interesting to

0:24:59.680 --> 0:25:03.200
<v Speaker 2>me either way in sort of trying to suss out

0:25:03.240 --> 0:25:07.440
<v Speaker 2>what what Vegas and was was either thinking about Tanner

0:25:07.480 --> 0:25:11.480
<v Speaker 2>Morgan's injury the Minnesota quarterback, or what they anticipated the

0:25:11.520 --> 0:25:15.200
<v Speaker 2>market thinking about it, and like I sort of thought

0:25:15.240 --> 0:25:17.360
<v Speaker 2>this line actually, I thought this thing was gonna open

0:25:17.400 --> 0:25:20.159
<v Speaker 2>up higher because my, my, just the line in this

0:25:20.200 --> 0:25:22.639
<v Speaker 2>game is is Penn State minus three point four. But

0:25:22.760 --> 0:25:25.719
<v Speaker 2>that's with both teams at full strength. Tanner Morgan got

0:25:25.800 --> 0:25:29.720
<v Speaker 2>knocked out in the Minnesota got upset by Illinois, yes

0:25:29.840 --> 0:25:33.320
<v Speaker 2>on Saturday, and he went like they, I mean, he

0:25:33.560 --> 0:25:35.040
<v Speaker 2>had to get carted off and then they took him

0:25:35.080 --> 0:25:35.800
<v Speaker 2>to the hospital.

0:25:36.080 --> 0:25:38.200
<v Speaker 3>He was cleared to fly back with the team.

0:25:38.440 --> 0:25:41.639
<v Speaker 2>So Tanner Morgan is back in Minneapolis, but took a

0:25:41.680 --> 0:25:45.199
<v Speaker 2>shot to the head almost assuredly is going to be

0:25:45.200 --> 0:25:48.920
<v Speaker 2>in concussion protocol this week if he is diagnosed or

0:25:48.920 --> 0:25:51.560
<v Speaker 2>if he was diagnosed with an official medical concussion. I

0:25:51.600 --> 0:25:54.840
<v Speaker 2>don't think that news. There's no incentive for PJ. Fleck

0:25:54.840 --> 0:25:56.720
<v Speaker 2>to say that. In fact, I know after the game

0:25:56.760 --> 0:25:58.560
<v Speaker 2>he told the reporters that he you know, I don't

0:25:58.600 --> 0:26:01.000
<v Speaker 2>know any of I don't know any details about Tanner's

0:26:01.000 --> 0:26:04.960
<v Speaker 2>injury yet, whether that's true or not, there's no incentive

0:26:05.000 --> 0:26:07.800
<v Speaker 2>for him to tell the reporters whatever it was. If

0:26:07.840 --> 0:26:11.199
<v Speaker 2>Morgan was indeed diagnosed with the concussion, and if he

0:26:11.280 --> 0:26:12.080
<v Speaker 2>is indeed in.

0:26:12.000 --> 0:26:15.760
<v Speaker 3>The protocol, you would put him at way if he

0:26:15.840 --> 0:26:16.879
<v Speaker 3>to play in this game.

0:26:17.440 --> 0:26:21.199
<v Speaker 2>And if he does not, Minnesota is about to go

0:26:21.359 --> 0:26:25.400
<v Speaker 2>into a gunfight without a gun, sort of, because their

0:26:25.440 --> 0:26:30.399
<v Speaker 2>offense is not passing explosion. They can't generate explosive plays

0:26:30.440 --> 0:26:34.080
<v Speaker 2>with the pass either way, even when everyone's at full strength.

0:26:34.240 --> 0:26:36.040
<v Speaker 2>But keep in mind, this is a team that lost

0:26:36.119 --> 0:26:39.240
<v Speaker 2>Chris Hopman Bell by farther wide receiver one earlier in

0:26:39.280 --> 0:26:42.320
<v Speaker 2>the season. They already weren't a great passing team even

0:26:42.320 --> 0:26:45.520
<v Speaker 2>before that. And now if Tanner Morgan's out and you

0:26:45.600 --> 0:26:47.960
<v Speaker 2>go down to the second string kid who I'm not

0:26:48.000 --> 0:26:50.000
<v Speaker 2>even gonna try to pronounce his name, the kid with

0:26:50.040 --> 0:26:54.480
<v Speaker 2>the Greek last name. He was awful in the Illinois games,

0:26:54.720 --> 0:26:55.760
<v Speaker 2>big part of the reason.

0:26:55.560 --> 0:26:56.359
<v Speaker 3>Why they lost.

0:26:56.680 --> 0:26:59.359
<v Speaker 2>So if if that's the case and Morgan doesn't play

0:26:59.440 --> 0:27:01.760
<v Speaker 2>and you have to go to this red shirt freshman again,

0:27:02.280 --> 0:27:05.600
<v Speaker 2>Minnesota's passing game is not going to be there, which

0:27:05.680 --> 0:27:09.000
<v Speaker 2>will allow Penn State's nasty defense essentially to just stack

0:27:09.080 --> 0:27:12.439
<v Speaker 2>the box against Minnesota and Moebrahim and tried to erase

0:27:12.520 --> 0:27:15.680
<v Speaker 2>mo Ibrahim. Mo Ibrahim came back in the Illinois game.

0:27:15.960 --> 0:27:18.560
<v Speaker 2>He had been withheld from the Purdue one. Some people

0:27:18.560 --> 0:27:21.320
<v Speaker 2>thought he could have played, but he didn't. Fleck withheld him.

0:27:21.960 --> 0:27:24.080
<v Speaker 2>He came back for the Illinois game. He looked fully healthy.

0:27:24.080 --> 0:27:27.359
<v Speaker 2>He was really the only bright spot for Minnesota on

0:27:27.400 --> 0:27:31.520
<v Speaker 2>the entire day. We'll see how he can contend potentially

0:27:31.560 --> 0:27:34.080
<v Speaker 2>with stack boxes in this one. But in lieu of

0:27:34.240 --> 0:27:37.639
<v Speaker 2>Morgan's status right now, with it being so up in

0:27:37.680 --> 0:27:40.200
<v Speaker 2>the air, I'm a bit surprised that this thing only

0:27:40.240 --> 0:27:45.240
<v Speaker 2>opened at minus four. I would have predicted if like beforehand,

0:27:45.440 --> 0:27:48.200
<v Speaker 2>I would have thought more like five and a half, six,

0:27:48.600 --> 0:27:51.480
<v Speaker 2>maybe even six and a half for Penn State, a

0:27:51.520 --> 0:27:53.560
<v Speaker 2>little bit low in lieu of the Morgan thing.

0:27:55.720 --> 0:27:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm with you. I'm with you. I think that that's

0:27:57.960 --> 0:27:59.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a big question mark and people need to

0:27:59.640 --> 0:28:03.000
<v Speaker 1>keep an eye eye on it. But pretty obvious that

0:28:03.080 --> 0:28:04.960
<v Speaker 1>we're going to see him not playing this week with

0:28:05.040 --> 0:28:07.320
<v Speaker 1>concussion protocol right well.

0:28:07.280 --> 0:28:09.480
<v Speaker 2>To see you know, I mean the Gophers gave out

0:28:09.680 --> 0:28:14.560
<v Speaker 2>zero lessons, zero information by design, most most teams don't,

0:28:14.800 --> 0:28:17.359
<v Speaker 2>so we don't like at this time sitting here, we

0:28:17.400 --> 0:28:20.720
<v Speaker 2>don't have any information about that. We don't know what

0:28:21.440 --> 0:28:24.159
<v Speaker 2>Morgan was told by the doctors, We don't know what

0:28:24.200 --> 0:28:26.679
<v Speaker 2>he is diagnosed with, we don't know what timeline he

0:28:26.800 --> 0:28:30.040
<v Speaker 2>was given, and the coaching staff is not going to

0:28:30.080 --> 0:28:32.359
<v Speaker 2>apprize us that it's It's one of those things. During

0:28:32.359 --> 0:28:34.840
<v Speaker 2>the week, we're just gonna have to pay attention. Hope

0:28:34.880 --> 0:28:37.720
<v Speaker 2>we get some you know, get a handout from Fleck,

0:28:37.880 --> 0:28:41.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, like of a of a status updated Tanner

0:28:41.040 --> 0:28:43.560
<v Speaker 2>Morgan that has some validity to it and not a

0:28:44.000 --> 0:28:46.800
<v Speaker 2>not a Sam Pittman kJ Jefferson update from a couple

0:28:46.800 --> 0:28:49.040
<v Speaker 2>of weeks ago, where lots of I'm not trying to

0:28:49.040 --> 0:28:50.640
<v Speaker 2>pick on Sam Pittman because a lot of coaches just

0:28:50.680 --> 0:28:53.120
<v Speaker 2>all right lie about the health status of their injured quarterbacks.

0:28:53.120 --> 0:28:57.960
<v Speaker 2>But for this game, if you're interested in betting on Minnesota,

0:28:58.200 --> 0:29:00.440
<v Speaker 2>you need to know if the status is TAYL. Morgan,

0:29:00.600 --> 0:29:03.400
<v Speaker 2>because you cannot beat again on You cannot bet on

0:29:03.440 --> 0:29:07.240
<v Speaker 2>Minnesota only getting four points in this game if Tannam

0:29:07.240 --> 0:29:09.080
<v Speaker 2>Morgan is not going to play. You need to feel

0:29:09.080 --> 0:29:12.400
<v Speaker 2>pretty confident about that that for this one right now

0:29:12.400 --> 0:29:15.440
<v Speaker 2>where we're sitting, this is Penn State or stay away,

0:29:15.800 --> 0:29:18.920
<v Speaker 2>and the Morgan status will inform the rest of it.

0:29:20.000 --> 0:29:21.440
<v Speaker 1>A couple other games that I want to get to

0:29:21.520 --> 0:29:24.320
<v Speaker 1>here before we head out for and of course we

0:29:24.400 --> 0:29:26.360
<v Speaker 1>have to talk about the big one here.

0:29:26.760 --> 0:29:27.640
<v Speaker 3>Well, they're no.

0:29:27.640 --> 0:29:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Longer the Kings. Tennessee saw to that for now Alabama

0:29:31.160 --> 0:29:35.440
<v Speaker 1>and Mississippi State. Bama gets laying twenty two and a

0:29:35.520 --> 0:29:39.040
<v Speaker 1>half points against Mississippi State here in this one, and

0:29:39.400 --> 0:29:40.840
<v Speaker 1>should we just expect.

0:29:40.440 --> 0:29:41.120
<v Speaker 3>To bounce back.

0:29:41.440 --> 0:29:43.320
<v Speaker 1>Let's face it, this Bama team has not looked as

0:29:43.360 --> 0:29:45.720
<v Speaker 1>sharp as they have in previous seasons yet. Bryce Young

0:29:45.800 --> 0:29:49.920
<v Speaker 1>is still a little banged up. But Bama normally feels inevitable,

0:29:50.200 --> 0:29:52.080
<v Speaker 1>and this year they have not felt that way to

0:29:52.120 --> 0:29:53.520
<v Speaker 1>me for sure.

0:29:53.640 --> 0:29:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there, you know, and we talked about this, you

0:29:56.000 --> 0:29:58.920
<v Speaker 2>know before the Tennessee game. Their offensive line is down,

0:29:59.400 --> 0:30:02.520
<v Speaker 2>their receiving corps is down, and then when you know,

0:30:02.560 --> 0:30:06.360
<v Speaker 2>when Young is compromised, and he definitely was against Tennessee.

0:30:06.520 --> 0:30:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Although gutty, gutty kid, I like a couple of weeks ago,

0:30:10.200 --> 0:30:12.120
<v Speaker 2>I would have said one hundred percent. Bryce Young doesn't

0:30:12.120 --> 0:30:14.000
<v Speaker 2>play in that game with the injury that I've been

0:30:14.000 --> 0:30:16.760
<v Speaker 2>told that he had ac joints brain of your throwing shoulder.

0:30:17.040 --> 0:30:20.120
<v Speaker 2>It's always a two week plus injury. But Bryce Young

0:30:20.200 --> 0:30:22.600
<v Speaker 2>came back with only missing one game. So credit to him.

0:30:22.840 --> 0:30:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Tough kid. That is something that is going to be

0:30:25.040 --> 0:30:27.960
<v Speaker 2>mentioned during his NFL evaluation that he toughed it out

0:30:27.960 --> 0:30:30.120
<v Speaker 2>to come back and play in that enormous game for

0:30:30.200 --> 0:30:33.280
<v Speaker 2>Alabama and didn't look terrible at all. Right, it wasn't

0:30:33.280 --> 0:30:35.360
<v Speaker 2>the Bryce Young at the peak of his powers, for sure,

0:30:35.800 --> 0:30:39.600
<v Speaker 2>but he gave them the fighting chance where especially I

0:30:39.600 --> 0:30:42.680
<v Speaker 2>mean I was saying this last week, but especially in hindsight,

0:30:42.800 --> 0:30:45.120
<v Speaker 2>it was proven sure if you had Jalen Milroe in there,

0:30:45.320 --> 0:30:47.560
<v Speaker 2>Tennessee was winning that game by two touchdowns or more.

0:30:48.160 --> 0:30:50.479
<v Speaker 2>I mean, like Alabama wouldn't have been able to literally

0:30:50.520 --> 0:30:52.600
<v Speaker 2>do anything through the air, and that's the only way

0:30:52.600 --> 0:30:56.800
<v Speaker 2>that you can attack the Tennessee defense. Bryce Young's status

0:30:56.840 --> 0:30:59.920
<v Speaker 2>knowing trying to sort of read between the lines of

0:31:00.040 --> 0:31:02.240
<v Speaker 2>the quotes you're getting from the Alabama side to see

0:31:02.240 --> 0:31:06.800
<v Speaker 2>what percentage does he is very instructive to this handicap

0:31:06.920 --> 0:31:10.000
<v Speaker 2>on either side of it. Alabama said after the game

0:31:10.640 --> 0:31:13.440
<v Speaker 2>from I mean like Young and then the coaches, the

0:31:13.720 --> 0:31:17.360
<v Speaker 2>whole party line was Bryce suffered no ill effects from

0:31:17.360 --> 0:31:20.120
<v Speaker 2>this game whatsoever. Like he's you know, he's only gonna

0:31:20.120 --> 0:31:22.760
<v Speaker 2>get healthier from here going out. I don't know about that.

0:31:22.840 --> 0:31:25.880
<v Speaker 2>We know that Nick Saban is happier to lie about

0:31:25.920 --> 0:31:30.120
<v Speaker 2>this stuff than almost anyone. So again we'll have to see.

0:31:30.240 --> 0:31:31.880
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna have to read between the lines a little

0:31:31.880 --> 0:31:33.560
<v Speaker 2>bit of this one because Bryce young status is so

0:31:33.600 --> 0:31:36.280
<v Speaker 2>important to that team. He definitely gonna play. It's just

0:31:36.440 --> 0:31:38.880
<v Speaker 2>what you know, are you gonna get ninety eight percent? Brazing,

0:31:38.920 --> 0:31:41.360
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna get eighty two percent? Bryce Young, were in

0:31:41.400 --> 0:31:45.800
<v Speaker 2>between whatever, knowing that you have the down offensive line,

0:31:45.800 --> 0:31:49.120
<v Speaker 2>in the down receiving core whatever. On the Missipi State side,

0:31:49.760 --> 0:31:53.160
<v Speaker 2>it seems that well, well the market in Vegas that

0:31:53.600 --> 0:31:56.680
<v Speaker 2>the folks that drop these lines seems like they're still

0:31:56.720 --> 0:31:59.680
<v Speaker 2>giving Alabama the tax and the credit on the spread.

0:32:00.240 --> 0:32:03.360
<v Speaker 2>It seems like they are doing the opposite with Missippi State.

0:32:03.720 --> 0:32:07.000
<v Speaker 2>After Missippi State was installed as the road favorite in

0:32:07.160 --> 0:32:10.480
<v Speaker 2>Lexington yesterday, when you know, we didn't know if Leaves

0:32:10.520 --> 0:32:12.480
<v Speaker 2>was going to play initially early on in the week

0:32:12.520 --> 0:32:14.520
<v Speaker 2>and then later in the week it you know he

0:32:14.600 --> 0:32:17.720
<v Speaker 2>was going to play then whatever, But Missiby State still

0:32:17.720 --> 0:32:20.959
<v Speaker 2>closed as the favorite and Kentucky control most of that

0:32:21.000 --> 0:32:23.680
<v Speaker 2>game was not a great game for Missippi State. They

0:32:23.680 --> 0:32:26.520
<v Speaker 2>did not acquit themselves. Well, the market is certainly going

0:32:26.560 --> 0:32:29.120
<v Speaker 2>to be out on them. I don't think that game

0:32:29.160 --> 0:32:31.320
<v Speaker 2>has any sort of predictive value as far as like

0:32:31.400 --> 0:32:34.640
<v Speaker 2>depressing a line like this going forward. My justed line

0:32:34.640 --> 0:32:37.240
<v Speaker 2>in this game is Alabama minus sixteen point three. So

0:32:37.320 --> 0:32:39.480
<v Speaker 2>between that and the opening line, I'm sure when a

0:32:39.560 --> 0:32:43.080
<v Speaker 2>discrepancy of just a tick over six points of value

0:32:43.160 --> 0:32:46.120
<v Speaker 2>on the Missippi State side, that's the way that I

0:32:46.120 --> 0:32:49.120
<v Speaker 2>would lean on this game for sure. Early on, if

0:32:49.120 --> 0:32:51.920
<v Speaker 2>you have a full strength Bryce Young becomes a little

0:32:51.920 --> 0:32:54.360
<v Speaker 2>bit different because then Alabama can put points on the board.

0:32:54.360 --> 0:32:57.400
<v Speaker 2>Potentially it will. But the other thing I'll say is

0:32:57.760 --> 0:32:59.760
<v Speaker 2>the thing that you want to attack on the Missippi

0:32:59.800 --> 0:33:03.880
<v Speaker 2>State defense not the pass passing. It's the run defense

0:33:03.920 --> 0:33:07.400
<v Speaker 2>of theirs. That's what you're so I expect Jumior Gibbs

0:33:07.400 --> 0:33:11.400
<v Speaker 2>to have a big game, but with Bryce Young again,

0:33:11.520 --> 0:33:13.760
<v Speaker 2>with the status and everything else that I mentioned with

0:33:13.760 --> 0:33:16.640
<v Speaker 2>Mississippi State's pass defense, they could be able to lock

0:33:16.720 --> 0:33:20.800
<v Speaker 2>him down a little bit, perhaps better than Tennessee Dead.

0:33:21.120 --> 0:33:24.120
<v Speaker 2>So right now, with where that line is, I lean

0:33:24.160 --> 0:33:25.360
<v Speaker 2>the Missippi State side.

0:33:26.240 --> 0:33:27.840
<v Speaker 1>All Right, one more game that I want to ask

0:33:27.880 --> 0:33:32.120
<v Speaker 1>you about here, certainly not one of the big contests

0:33:32.160 --> 0:33:36.960
<v Speaker 1>with heavyweight teams here, San Diego State and Nevada are

0:33:37.000 --> 0:33:39.560
<v Speaker 1>going to be playing against each other. And when I

0:33:39.640 --> 0:33:41.880
<v Speaker 1>was entering the numbers for the for US and our

0:33:41.960 --> 0:33:44.440
<v Speaker 1>rundown here, I had to go back and check this

0:33:44.480 --> 0:33:47.080
<v Speaker 1>one three times just to make sure it wasn't a typo.

0:33:47.200 --> 0:33:49.160
<v Speaker 1>The total in this game, I know we normally talk

0:33:49.200 --> 0:33:51.200
<v Speaker 1>about sides, is the one total I want to talk

0:33:51.200 --> 0:33:55.480
<v Speaker 1>about because it's at thirty six for a college football game.

0:33:56.680 --> 0:33:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Is this I get that these two teams are bad,

0:33:59.720 --> 0:34:01.920
<v Speaker 1>but I mean, no one in their right mind has

0:34:01.920 --> 0:34:04.120
<v Speaker 1>beenting under thirty six. But do you think that this

0:34:04.200 --> 0:34:05.320
<v Speaker 1>total is where it should be?

0:34:05.880 --> 0:34:08.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, so mine was forty nine and a half, but

0:34:09.000 --> 0:34:12.359
<v Speaker 2>again that's not accounting for the injuries. Like both these

0:34:12.360 --> 0:34:16.040
<v Speaker 2>teams at full strength, right and they're not specifically on

0:34:16.040 --> 0:34:19.160
<v Speaker 2>the San Diego State side. Now, San Diego State had

0:34:19.160 --> 0:34:22.279
<v Speaker 2>the bye last week, so we need to recheck in

0:34:22.320 --> 0:34:23.160
<v Speaker 2>on the status of some.

0:34:23.120 --> 0:34:23.680
<v Speaker 3>Of these guys.

0:34:24.160 --> 0:34:27.600
<v Speaker 2>But the last game San Diego State played, their quarterback

0:34:27.680 --> 0:34:31.200
<v Speaker 2>room was so decimated by injuries they had to move

0:34:31.200 --> 0:34:34.840
<v Speaker 2>a kid from safety to quarterback that week to start

0:34:35.200 --> 0:34:37.920
<v Speaker 2>against I think it was Hawaii the week before last.

0:34:38.960 --> 0:34:42.480
<v Speaker 2>Maiden Jalen Maiden, I believe his name, and he had

0:34:42.520 --> 0:34:44.719
<v Speaker 2>come over. He had played quarterback early on his career,

0:34:44.760 --> 0:34:47.120
<v Speaker 2>actually ironically at Missippi State, you know team you were

0:34:47.160 --> 0:34:49.480
<v Speaker 2>just talking about, and then it transferred over to San

0:34:49.480 --> 0:34:50.080
<v Speaker 2>Diego State.

0:34:50.080 --> 0:34:54.000
<v Speaker 3>He Missippi stated had been like, you're not a quarterback, and.

0:34:53.960 --> 0:34:55.440
<v Speaker 2>So he had gone to San Diego State and then

0:34:55.440 --> 0:34:57.440
<v Speaker 2>he was gonna, you know, try to make his football

0:34:57.440 --> 0:35:00.319
<v Speaker 2>career going forward as a safety. But then it was

0:35:00.360 --> 0:35:03.160
<v Speaker 2>so bad at quarterback. They'd be like, Maiden, we need

0:35:03.160 --> 0:35:06.560
<v Speaker 2>you to play quarterback. He did okay against Hawaii's defense,

0:35:06.560 --> 0:35:11.120
<v Speaker 2>but Hawaii's defense is low level FCS quality.

0:35:11.440 --> 0:35:14.279
<v Speaker 3>I think it would be fair to say this one

0:35:14.400 --> 0:35:15.080
<v Speaker 3>against Nevada.

0:35:15.080 --> 0:35:18.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean Nevada, it's more or less the same, but

0:35:18.360 --> 0:35:19.760
<v Speaker 2>it's the quality opponent.

0:35:19.880 --> 0:35:20.320
<v Speaker 3>Nevada.

0:35:20.360 --> 0:35:24.160
<v Speaker 2>We've seen them now multiple times against really poor competition,

0:35:24.239 --> 0:35:27.080
<v Speaker 2>have struggled to put up points last night, it was

0:35:27.120 --> 0:35:27.800
<v Speaker 2>against Hawaii.

0:35:27.800 --> 0:35:29.120
<v Speaker 3>That was the late game.

0:35:29.480 --> 0:35:33.200
<v Speaker 2>Hawaii upset Nevada, and a big part of the reasons

0:35:33.280 --> 0:35:37.040
<v Speaker 2>was because Nevada couldn't move the ball. Nevada shockingly, even

0:35:37.040 --> 0:35:40.200
<v Speaker 2>though Nevada's best offensive players to Atawa, they're running back,

0:35:40.400 --> 0:35:41.879
<v Speaker 2>they were struggling to run the ball.

0:35:42.360 --> 0:35:44.879
<v Speaker 3>The way they were generating forward movement.

0:35:45.200 --> 0:35:47.719
<v Speaker 2>Was just dumping the ball off to Tatawa in the

0:35:47.760 --> 0:35:50.120
<v Speaker 2>receiving game and then having him run. I don't have

0:35:50.160 --> 0:35:51.440
<v Speaker 2>the stats in front of me, but he had like

0:35:51.480 --> 0:35:54.040
<v Speaker 2>six catches for like seventy yards. That was like the

0:35:54.040 --> 0:35:57.400
<v Speaker 2>bulk of Nevada's yardage for the game. Nevada's going to

0:35:57.480 --> 0:36:00.520
<v Speaker 2>have to figure that out. San Diego State's defense is

0:36:00.560 --> 0:36:03.799
<v Speaker 2>way better than Hawaii's in San Diego State going back

0:36:03.840 --> 0:36:05.719
<v Speaker 2>years and years and years, has always had a good

0:36:05.760 --> 0:36:08.640
<v Speaker 2>run defense. So so Nevada's gonna have to figure that

0:36:08.680 --> 0:36:10.480
<v Speaker 2>thing out. But then on the other side of San

0:36:10.520 --> 0:36:12.439
<v Speaker 2>Diego State, you're gonna have to look into the health

0:36:12.440 --> 0:36:15.399
<v Speaker 2>of their quarterback room. They're gonna get Burmester back, if

0:36:15.400 --> 0:36:18.399
<v Speaker 2>not that one of the backups, or is it going

0:36:18.440 --> 0:36:22.200
<v Speaker 2>to be we're playing the safety at quarterback again, and

0:36:22.239 --> 0:36:24.719
<v Speaker 2>that one could go any different way.

0:36:24.960 --> 0:36:25.960
<v Speaker 3>Like the Hawaii thing.

0:36:26.000 --> 0:36:28.000
<v Speaker 2>I think that probably went about as good as San

0:36:28.040 --> 0:36:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Diego State could hope for and they sort of ground

0:36:30.520 --> 0:36:31.799
<v Speaker 2>out this very close win.

0:36:32.520 --> 0:36:34.680
<v Speaker 3>You don't want to be doing that in more games

0:36:34.719 --> 0:36:35.120
<v Speaker 3>than that.

0:36:36.000 --> 0:36:38.319
<v Speaker 2>So we'll see if San Diego State is able to

0:36:38.320 --> 0:36:40.440
<v Speaker 2>start one of the guys that began the season as

0:36:40.440 --> 0:36:42.960
<v Speaker 2>a quarterback, they're certainly gonna do that.

0:36:42.960 --> 0:36:45.000
<v Speaker 3>That would put in jeopardy the under.

0:36:45.360 --> 0:36:47.640
<v Speaker 2>But if San Diego State trotting out the safety again

0:36:48.000 --> 0:36:50.239
<v Speaker 2>and they're playing this Nevada team that we know can't

0:36:50.280 --> 0:36:53.680
<v Speaker 2>move the ball, and Nevada is their best thing is

0:36:53.719 --> 0:36:55.520
<v Speaker 2>gonna be going into the strength of the San Diego

0:36:55.520 --> 0:36:56.240
<v Speaker 2>State defense.

0:36:56.960 --> 0:36:59.400
<v Speaker 3>That's why this number is as low as it is.

0:37:00.080 --> 0:37:02.360
<v Speaker 2>Also could justify an under bet, so you got to

0:37:02.440 --> 0:37:03.480
<v Speaker 2>check on the status there.

0:37:04.360 --> 0:37:06.600
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be an interesting one. I look forward to

0:37:06.640 --> 0:37:09.480
<v Speaker 1>that rock fight. I want to see some bad college

0:37:09.480 --> 0:37:12.000
<v Speaker 1>football this week, for especially.

0:37:11.760 --> 0:37:13.919
<v Speaker 3>Especially the late night games. You know, like you watch

0:37:13.960 --> 0:37:15.360
<v Speaker 3>the games all day and you're.

0:37:15.239 --> 0:37:17.840
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's it's like you go to Thanksgiving and

0:37:17.920 --> 0:37:21.239
<v Speaker 2>you just stuff yourself all day, and then on Saturday night,

0:37:21.520 --> 0:37:23.759
<v Speaker 2>like I'm always sort of ready to pass out, but

0:37:23.840 --> 0:37:26.239
<v Speaker 2>I can't give up college football excuse I know it's

0:37:26.239 --> 0:37:27.880
<v Speaker 2>still on. So I have a TV in my room,

0:37:27.920 --> 0:37:29.720
<v Speaker 2>so I always turned the TV on and then shut

0:37:29.760 --> 0:37:32.200
<v Speaker 2>the It's always the Hawaii game, so I'll just watch.

0:37:32.000 --> 0:37:34.040
<v Speaker 3>That in bed until I pass out or whatever.

0:37:34.680 --> 0:37:38.160
<v Speaker 2>Having these games as the late late games I always

0:37:38.160 --> 0:37:40.680
<v Speaker 2>watch of and it's like, I actually sort of like

0:37:40.760 --> 0:37:44.960
<v Speaker 2>the crappy basement games that the garbage games or whatever. Yeah,

0:37:45.320 --> 0:37:47.080
<v Speaker 2>and the Battle Color out of State was was fabulous

0:37:47.080 --> 0:37:49.200
<v Speaker 2>a couple of weeks ago, and this one should be

0:37:49.239 --> 0:37:50.600
<v Speaker 2>good in that same bay as well.

0:37:50.640 --> 0:37:51.080
<v Speaker 3>For sure.

0:37:51.560 --> 0:37:55.200
