1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal hell that for me, I'm

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 1: a man, I'm forty. I've heard so many players say, well,

3
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: I want to be happy. You want to be happy

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: for a day? Edo State is that?

5
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 2: Whoo whoo?

6
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: And now Dan and Tye Dan Rubinstein, Week three is

7
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: upon us, my friend, welcome back. How is your health?

8
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: Could be better? Could be worse?

9
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 3: Ty, Just like any other day, I feel okay because

10
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 3: I'm here talking about college football. I'm here with you,

38
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: My good friend, how are you feeling about week three?

39
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: I feel really good about week three. I feel really

40
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: good about you know, you get to the portion of

41
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: the before where you're like, all right, I've been saving

42
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: a little bit of room on my plate for these

43
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: crab claws. There is something about week three and the

44
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: depth of interesting stories. Now that we have two weeks.

45
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 3: Of a little bit of data, a little bit of

46
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 3: a concept of where teams are and aren't as related

47
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 3: to expectations, who's surging past early expectations, who is lagging

48
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 3: behind early expectations? But also Week three for a lot

49
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 3: of these teams, and this sort of dovetails with our

50
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 3: prove it segment.

51
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: You have a sound for that? I assume I do

52
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: have a sound. I'm going to use the same one

53
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: as last week, since you responded better to that one.

54
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 3: Okay, thank you very much. The weird horns didn't get

55
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 3: me going, Now get me horn. It's fine if you will. Yeah,

56
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 3: there is something about this specific Week three that makes

57
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 3: me think about the number two because for a number

58
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 3: of people in this great sport and a number of teams,

59
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 3: I have this as a second chance Saturday that you

60
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 3: don't need to wait until October to prove that what

61
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 3: you did early on was a fluke and you're different

62
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 3: now because there are opportunities for so many teams and

63
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 3: so many players to erase what happened in Week one

64
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 3: or in Week two, with the opportunity against a quality

65
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 3: opponent or playing against equality defense or offense to say,

66
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 3: you know what, I'm going to take advantage of this

67
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 3: Week three opportunity, and I'm going to say that down

68
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 3: performance that disappointing performance in week one er week two?

69
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 3: Does you can reverse it this quickly?

70
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: Ty?

71
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 3: You can reverse it? If you are DJ Lagway, if

72
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 3: you're CJ. Carr, if you're Alabama playing against an opponent

73
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 3: you definitely should beat and our favorite to beat comfortably.

74
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 3: You have that opportunity, right that. If you are Texas

75
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 3: A and M, you get a second chance at Notre

76
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 3: Dame after losing last season. If you are Notre Dame,

77
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 3: you get a second chance.

78
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: For CJ.

79
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 3: Carr, and this offense took a little bit more dynamic

80
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 3: against a high quality defense and program. There is that

81
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 3: across the board. I saw somewhere that Josh Hipel hasn't

82
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 3: scored more than seventeen points against Georgia. I don't know

83
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 3: if it's a second chance, but it might be a

84
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 3: second chance at a second chance, and that counts for something.

85
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 3: And I just love the idea. You know, we have

86
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 3: what LSU and Florida. That's a big time second chance

87
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 3: for DJ Lagway and this Florida offense to show any

88
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 3: sort of pop, which I.

89
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: Think that's there.

90
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 3: I think that's where that that in sync bite comes from.

91
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 3: The song pop, right, Yeah, So I'm very excited for

92
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 3: this Second Chance Saturday because I think there's a lot

93
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 3: that can be flipped for a lot of people.

94
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: Beautiful Well, second Chance Saturday, I think is going to

95
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: work out quite well for us here in the forballerhood.

96
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: We have a bunch of awesome games to discuss here today,

97
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: not just those three that we talked about on Tuesday.

98
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: We will get into those momentarily. But as you hinted, Dan,

99
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: we've been doing this segment the last couple of weeks

100
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: called prove it in this lifetime. You'll have to prove

101
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: nothing to nobody except yourself and that little pop. Speaking

102
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 1: of pop, yeah, before we played it before week two.

103
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: This is kind of when we look around college football,

104
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: we take the temperature of what's going on and I

105
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 1: think try to verbalize which teams, which players, which coaches,

106
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: which whatever have the most on the line in Week three.

107
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: Like I look at this slate this week and I say,

108
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 1: Florida has a lot on the line. It's not just

109
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: to build a napier thing. It's not just the DJ

110
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: Lagway thing. But Florida was one of those teams that

111
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: had a lot of preseason hype coming into the twenty

112
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: twenty five season. Losing to USF is not what they

113
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: had on their bingo card in Week two. Clearly they

114
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: had this game circled against LSU. So I am curious

115
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,559
Speaker 1: to see what we've got from the Gators this week

116
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: on the road at night in Death Valley. That is

117
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: going to be a tough, tough proving ground for them,

118
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: to say the absolute bare minimum. Sure, but they've got

119
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: a prove that they have what it takes. Even if

120
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: they don't win that game, they've at least got to

121
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: go toe to toe with LSU come out of that

122
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: one with a close loss. Because anything more than that

123
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: is bad news for Napier. It's bad news for that program.

124
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: It probably is a death knell with respect to just

125
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: preseason vibes that were really really strong in Gainesville. So

126
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: they're the first that come to mind for me. Who's

127
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: the first that comes to mind for you?

128
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 3: Well, I have that on my list. And to just

129
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 3: build on what you were saying, I think it's a

130
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 3: BILLI Napier DJ Lagway combination because he's the play caller,

131
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 3: he's the architect of this offense and whatever deficiencies he

132
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 3: has as an offensive mind with this team, you sort

133
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 3: of expect a quarterback to be able to lift to

134
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 3: the best of his ability and cover for any deficiencies. Right,

135
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 3: That's why we use the term playmaker, to be able

136
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 3: to create something out of nothing, to buy time and

137
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 3: go downfield, to be more precise, to use your legs,

138
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 3: whatever it takes to keep the chains moving. So I

139
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 3: think they have a ton to prove. I have Clemson

140
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 3: here as a team with a lot to prove. Clemson

141
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 3: has a Georgia Tech and we're going to get into

142
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 3: more detail in this preview that I think still has

143
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 3: defensive issues, but is also a Georgia Tech team. That

144
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 3: this is the matchup of the home slate for Georgia Tech. Yes,

145
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 3: so you will never because the Georgia game, I think

146
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 3: is in Mercedes Benz this season. So when you look

147
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 3: at the schedule, there is not going to be a

148
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 3: more hyped up crowd for an opponent than what Clemson

149
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 3: will be seeing in Bobby Dodd and what Clemson showed

150
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 3: last week was very little on offense for the majority

151
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 3: of that game. Slushy weather obviously the lightning delay, But

152
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 3: Georgia Tech is so specific in how they want to

153
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 3: beat you, which is just running the ball down your throat,

154
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 3: and Clemson again has had some issues stopping the run.

155
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 3: They weren't consistent in doing it last season. The offense

156
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 3: looked vanilla against Troy until they decided to sort of

157
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 3: take the game seriously. Maybe I don't know. I don't

158
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 3: know why. It was a lot of like dink and

159
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 3: dunk and unable to move the pile. It wasn't impressive

160
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 3: from a Clemson offensive perspective for a chunk of that game.

161
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 3: Just sloppy and unimagined, unimaginative.

162
00:07:59,160 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: Excuse me.

163
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 3: So, I think Clemson has a ton to prove that.

164
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 3: Once again, we're not just talking about Clemson as a

165
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 3: team to compete to win the ACC. We're saying, given

166
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 3: their experience, given that this is Kad Klebnick's fourth year

167
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 3: playing in this system, that they should be a team

168
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 3: ready to compete as a top four legit national championship contender.

169
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 3: And what better time to perrove it than against a

170
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 3: really challenging opponent on the road.

171
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: I've got Miami on my list as well. Okay, And

172
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: I kind of wavered a little bit as to whether

173
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: I should mention this here, but I think it applies. Look,

174
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: I don't continue. Miami has, for better or worse, over

175
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: the last couple seasons, earned this reputation of falling short

176
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: in some big moments, though not all right, and though

177
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: I feel like they are a much better team than USF,

178
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: and I understand the big destrodum last year, right destroud,

179
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: I understand the point spread which we will talk about

180
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: here in addition to that Clemson game and some others.

181
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 1: But this is an opportunity for them to leave no doubt,

182
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: and especially in the state of Florida, which is really

183
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: interesting with respect to college football right now, right, Miami

184
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: has an opportunity here to drill USF and beat a

185
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: team that just beat Florida. By the way, Miami is

186
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: Florida on deck. Correct. It is a look ahead spot, Yeah,

187
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: a little bit of a look ahead spot. So we

188
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: have seen Miami in situations like this before maybe look

189
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: past an opponent and not put their best foot forward.

190
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: And I think this is an opportunity for them to

191
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: do just that, albeit against the USF side that is

192
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: two and oh has had a really good start to

193
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: its season. I think you and I are both in

194
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: unanimous agreement that Miami is way better in terms of

195
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: just roster construction and what they've got depth wise. This

196
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: is an opportunity for them to go pedal to the

197
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: metal to prove it, to prove that what we saw

198
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: against noted aim in week one, to prove that what

199
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: we saw last week was, you know, this is going

200
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: to be a trend and not something that they forget

201
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: about when they were in a look ahead spot.

202
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 3: This It reminds me a little bit. Obviously I'm gonna

203
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 3: make this about me and my fandom, but when Colorado

204
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 3: traveled to Eugene and Dan Lanning gave the whole like, yeah,

205
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 3: they're the darlings of this sport early on. That ends today. Yep,

206
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 3: this Cinderella story ends today. And USF has not gotten

207
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 3: the type of attention, don't. They don't have the type

208
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 3: of personality that Dion Sanders was and is. But USF

209
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 3: absolutely coming out of nowhere to be one of the

210
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 3: big stories and darlings of this early season. With how

211
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 3: they've performed on the field, Miami has the opportunity to

212
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 3: prove that, yes, this ends today.

213
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: The only other team that I'll throw out there, and

214
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: I'm curious to get your reaction to this. South Carolina, Okay,

215
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: what do they have to prove against what Vandy? South

216
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: Carolina at home against Vandy. I was thinking this through

217
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: before we hit go here, and I could actually make

218
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: the same sort of case for South Carolina as I

219
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: did Virginia Tech when I talked about Virginia Tech needing

220
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 1: to prove itself against Vandy a week ago. I think

221
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 1: South Carolina is in a position where there's a lot

222
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: of hype around this program, given Leonora Sellers and Dylan

223
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: Stewart and maybe starting to see Nick Harbor kind of

224
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: come out of our viberation. Like they've had some moments

225
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: here in the early part of the season, and I'm

226
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: just curious to see how they look at home against

227
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: an opponent that seems to have it together. Like I

228
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: know we're not used to saying that about Vandy, but

229
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 1: the way that Vandy pulled away in the second half

230
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: of that Virginia Tech game was damn impressive. Vandy does

231
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: not need to prove anything to anybody. They're going to be,

232
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: I think the consummate underdog, but for sure South Carolina

233
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: is trying to play for something more. Does have NFL

234
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: caliber towent on both sides of the football, and this

235
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: is only a four and a half point line at

236
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 1: time of recording, so they need to prove that they

237
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: are good enough to beat a team like a Vandy,

238
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: who they should be, and they have better talent than

239
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: across the board.

240
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 3: I just I don't have them on my list because

241
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 3: I don't feel when I think about South Carolina's potential

242
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 3: this year, which I think is pretty high given when

243
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 3: you have a star quarterback and somebody who's able to

244
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 3: capable of playing like Lenora Sellers can, obviously there should

245
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 3: be a good amount of expectations on your shoulders. But

246
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 3: they haven't lost early. They've looked good, Vandy's looked good.

247
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,599
Speaker 3: I don't think the season trajectory changes unless they absolutely destroyed,

248
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 3: So I'm not sure how much they have to prove.

249
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 3: I don't know how much that changes our outlook on

250
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 3: South Carolina because I think if this game is competitive

251
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 3: one way or the other, I think we're going to

252
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 3: like both teams moving forward.

253
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. The reason that I think I bring

254
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 1: them up the most is just because the SEC right

255
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: now feels very influx to me. Very early right for

256
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: the most part, haven't gotten into conference play. They're going

257
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: a couple games here and there. But I'm I'm of

258
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: the mind that if you are a South Carolina believer,

259
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: these are the types of games that you need to

260
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: see them win in order to verify what you're feeling.

261
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: They got to win them like this. That's where I'm

262
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: at here.

263
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 3: Okay, My next prove it team is Tennessee Volunteers. Well,

264
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 3: why don't we do this, Dan, Why don't we put

265
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 3: a pin in that for a second? Oh, you play

266
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 3: my sound? I love this sound.

267
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: Time the week. Wait three coming at you, three point thirty, ABC,

268
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: it's Georgia, It's Tennessee. This line is now down the

269
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: three and a half points again. We did the deep

270
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 1: dive on the Tuesday episode. You were just about to

271
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: talk about Tennessee. Yes, figured that would be a perfect

272
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 1: vehicle to get to this segment of the show. Talk

273
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: to me about Tennessee and why they need to prove

274
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: anything to you.

275
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 3: Josh Eipel and the Balls have not been able to

276
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 3: figure out Georgia. This Georgia team, while looks like they

277
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 3: are going to have another terrific defense. I think this offense,

278
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 3: there are a number of questions about whether or not

279
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 3: they can score thirty points against a good team and

280
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 3: their opponents haven't dictated a ton to us, but they

281
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 3: don't look like killers on offense early on this year.

282
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 3: Gunnerstockton does not look like somebody who is either capable

283
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 3: or trusted to take shots downfield, be aggressive and loo

284
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 3: was Marshall and Austin p I understand that, but there

285
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 3: doesn't seem to be the pop desire from this Georgia team.

286
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 3: And when you play against the best of Tennessee, there

287
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 3: will be times where you're gonna have to flip a

288
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 3: certain switch. And right now, I think there's pressure on

289
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 3: Georgia and now particularly Look, this game is in Knoxville, yes, correct,

290
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 3: so you're at home. You have an opportunity after looking

291
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 3: very good early on, depending on what serious season looks like,

292
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 3: we'll see struggling Cloud last week. I think Tennessee has

293
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 3: an opportunity if you're bringing a good defense and a

294
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 3: home field, a home crowd to this matchup, that there

295
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 3: is an opportunity to prove that you have taken the

296
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 3: next step. Even if as overall expectations for Tennessee this

297
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 3: season aren't like we've been building towards twenty twenty five.

298
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 3: Right the offense, I still think needs another year to

299
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 3: get seasoned, but I think opportunity wise, it's a really

300
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 3: nice chance for Tennessee to prove that it can get

301
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 3: over on a team that has struggled too recently.

302
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: College game Day is going to be in town. This

303
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: is clearly going to be a pretty big setting for

304
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: this game. I was on Tennessee's My Home Dog of

305
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: the Week. Okay, when we did our predictions on Tuesday.

306
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: I honestly don't remember who you took here. I think

307
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: I took Tennessee. Yeah, I think we both were on

308
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: the balls here, And I'm just wondering if anything has

309
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: changed your mind over the last forty eight hours since

310
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: we did the last episode. I've been a little creeped

311
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: out by this point, spread to be honest with you,

312
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: that that it keeps moving in the Tennessee direction. I

313
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: mean you can kind of look at that both ways.

314
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: It either affirms what we're feeling or it gives us

315
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: reason to be creeped out. If a line is going

316
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: in one direction, oftentimes going in the other tends to

317
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: be profitable.

318
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 3: So I think it just sort of depends that, Like

319
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 3: in your gut, do you feel Georgia is Georgia in

320
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 3: your gut, do you feel like, yes, it's nice that

321
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 3: Joey Aguilar has shown immediate comfort in this offense and

322
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 3: that guys are getting loose and they're winning in a

323
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 3: number of ways against you know, less than stellar opponents

324
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 3: in this moment, and that it's a comeback down to

325
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 3: Earth moment for the Balls because the best thing on

326
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 3: this field, it's not a difficult case to make, is

327
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 3: still going to be the Georgia defense. Defense travels they

328
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 3: you know, Kirby Smart has exclusively won I believe against

329
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 3: Tennessee and Josh Hypel, So do you believe this here

330
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 3: is different or do you believe that, you know, say

331
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 3: what you will about Georgia's offense, they can win this

332
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 3: game twenty to seventeen.

333
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 1: I'm just a little worried about falling into the trap

334
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: that I set for myself that I warned everybody about

335
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: before the season, and not to reiterate what I said

336
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: again on Tuesday, but I was all about Tennessee's gonna

337
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: go out, They're gonna blow the doors off their first

338
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: two opponents. Everyone's gonna feel great about the Valls, and

339
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna.

340
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 3: Which they kind of did last year before coming back

341
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 3: down to Earth.

342
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, did the exact same thing, which is why I

343
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: brought it up in the first place. Right, But I'm

344
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: gonna roll with Tennessee here because I'm unclear what to

345
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: feel about Georgia. Yeah, Georgia will still be very good.

346
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just I believe in Tennessee's defense. You give

347
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 3: me a defense, a home crowd, a home dog, say less,

348
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 3: I'm in.

349
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: I mentioned that Florida has got a lot to prove

350
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: against LSU. This is seven point thirty. This is an

351
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 1: ABC game. This is on the road at night against LSU.

352
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: Florida at LSU, LSU favored by eight and a half points.

353
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 1: Now at time of recording, we did our show on Tuesday,

354
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: it was nine and a half. I was on Florida

355
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: felt like too many points to me. I stand by

356
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: that prediction. Excuse me, but I also stand by what

357
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: I said a moment ago about Florida having a lot

358
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: to prove here. I think if you come out of

359
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 1: this game, you end up losing by fourteen seventeen points.

360
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: If things get out of hand against LSU, that's a

361
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: real problem, and suddenly there's going to be a lot

362
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: more smoke around the Billy Napier thing than you know,

363
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: we expected for it being week three and not even

364
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,959
Speaker 1: through the month of September. So I don't know if

365
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: they win this one outright. I think they've got the

366
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 1: talent to win this one out right. And I'm also

367
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: not entirely convinced on the LSU defense side of things

368
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: that to me. You know, we're going to talk about

369
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: Clemson here in a moment, but you can definitely play

370
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: a little game where you're wondering is LSU's defense that

371
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: good or is Clemson's offense just not together yet. This

372
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: will be another opportunity, I think for LSU to prove

373
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: that side of the ball what they're capable of. But

374
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: on the Florida side, they've clearly got the most pressure here.

375
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 3: To be clear, LSU's defense is ahead of their own

376
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 3: offense by like a considerable margin in this moment. In

377
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 3: this moment have been more dependable. They have played against

378
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 3: a fourth year starting quarterback at a huge place in Clemson,

379
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 3: and Kate club Nick and came to play. So I

380
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 3: think I'm a little bit I'm sticking with my pick.

381
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take the points. I think LSU wins, but

382
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 3: I think it's close. I think Florida is probably overlooked

383
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 3: USF to whatever extent last week, and I think they're

384
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 3: gonna be more locked in. I don't mean who's not

385
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 3: locked in going to Death Valley. So I'm gonna stay

386
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 3: with Florida improving but not having the wherewithal to finish

387
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 3: a game against LSU on the road again. Go back Tuesday.

388
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: We did the deep dive of this one, and the

389
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: other one that we did a deep dive of on

390
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 1: Tuesday was the A and M Notre Dame game. I've

391
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: seen this line jump around a little bit. I've seen

392
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: it as high as seven. Right now, it says six

393
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: and a half when I look at the sheet. Either way,

394
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: the odds makers have Notre Dame as about a touchdown

395
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: favorite here against Texas A and M. I am probably

396
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: not the most objective voice on a game like this

397
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: because I tend to overcorrect for the fact that everybody

398
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: knows I'm a Notre Dame fan.

399
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you had them correctly beating Miami, I assume

400
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 3: to start the season on the road.

401
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: Continue.

402
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 3: I was wholly convinced that they had that game. I mean,

403
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 3: Miami tried to be clear to make you sound they

404
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 3: did prescient. Yeah, they did so. My thoughts aside on

405
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 3: this game. You like Notre Dame way more than I did.

406
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 3: I tend to think it's going to be very close

407
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 3: and within that number. I don't know if either team

408
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 3: here has a ton to prove on the national level,

409
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 3: like maybe more A and M, because A and M

410
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 3: has generally not done well in spots like this this early.

411
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 3: Right the Notre Dame side of things, I think it

412
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 3: will be more defensive if they were to take a loss,

413
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 3: just given that there is a lot new new quarterback,

414
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 3: new coordinator and the works. But the A and M

415
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 3: side of this, to me is really really interesting and

416
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 3: I'm curious to see what kind of game plan they

417
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,959
Speaker 3: try to run against Notre Dame. Sure, so this is

418
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 3: Notre Dame coming off of a bye correct correct A

419
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 3: and M played last week, got a little dinged up.

420
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 3: Marcel Reid should be fine. I don't know if I

421
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 3: just if this A and M passing attack has matured

422
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 3: to the point where I trust them against a strong

423
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 3: defense on the road. I don't trust CJ. Carr that

424
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 3: much this early against a good defense, but I think

425
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 3: i'd rather have the quarterback I have questions about at home,

426
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 3: who's been in the program and is a little I

427
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 3: think they're the same age though, right, I think Marcel

428
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 3: Reid and CJ. Car are roughly the same age. Marcel

429
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 3: red just has far more playing experience. I think I'm

430
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 3: just going Notre Dame. I just trust that defense at

431
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 3: home a little bit more to force a couple of mistakes.

432
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 3: And you know, the targets for Marcel read are new

433
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 3: to college station, and I just think it's going to

434
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 3: take a little bit more time.

435
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: So I'm going Notre Dame here.

436
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 3: I forget what the score I gave out, but similar

437
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 3: to what the Oklahoma Michigan game was last week twenty

438
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 3: four to fourteen, something like that.

439
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: I know you well enough to know that when you

440
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 1: feel good about a game, that's the tone in your voice. Yeah,

441
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: and I do feel pretty good about this game. Yeah,

442
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: You're usually pretty spot on when you have that kind

443
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: of demeanor about you. So I'm gonna hope that you're right.

444
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: As a Notre Dame fan. Again, we covered all three

445
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 1: of these on Tuesday. Now, in terms of games that

446
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: are also big that we did not cover, let's travel

447
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: back in time, Dan Boda Dooda dooda doo High Noon ESPN.

448
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: It is Clemson tipping the scales at one and one

449
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: on the road at Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech two and zero.

450
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech is a three and a half point home dog,

451
00:22:55,640 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 1: Dan Rubinstein. We miss this in our week two recap

452
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: because Tech played Gardner Webb. No, Haines King's already banged

453
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: up through one week of the year. It sounds like

454
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: they let him sit it out on purpose so that

455
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: he could heal our costs. This one precautionary, of course,

456
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 1: A long season ahead of them. Sounds like he's good

457
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: to go. I did entertain the notion of buying is

458
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: Haines King hurt dot com It can be yours for

459
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 1: the low price of eighteen ninety nine. I did not

460
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 1: buy that. But the answer is generally yes if you're wondering. Yes,

461
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: Clemson's won the last nine meetings in this matchup. Eight

462
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: of those nine have been by double digits, including the

463
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: one last year when they won forty two to twenty one. Yes,

464
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: a lot of people are high on Georgia Tech. I

465
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: might be higher than everybody on Clemson, perhaps even to

466
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: this day. Are you pulling the upset here? If you're

467
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech. Are you covering the point spread at home?

468
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: If you're Georgia Tech, what is your game plan? If

469
00:23:59,359 --> 00:23:59,959
Speaker 1: you're Georgia Tech.

470
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 3: If you're Georgia Tech, what's the game plan? Let Clemson

471
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 3: beat itself?

472
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: Maybe?

473
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 3: So that sounds very simple, but it's sort of you

474
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 3: have to yourself be buttoned up. You yourself can't shoot

475
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 3: yourself in the foot. You yourself have to have a

476
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 3: very specific vision and stick with it whether or not

477
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 3: it's working early, but stick hang around and wait for

478
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 3: Clemson to make mistakes. And it wasn't pretty last week.

479
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 3: That doesn't define who Clemson is this season. I like

480
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 3: the spot for Clemson actually, and it's not the Haines

481
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 3: King thing. It's it's not a real road game. I

482
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 3: mean it is, but it's you know, it's a very

483
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 3: close distance to cover, so it's not flying across the

484
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 3: country or flying to Boston or something like that.

485
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 1: For Clemson. It's an easy ride.

486
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 3: And I think Clemson getting that kind of wake up

487
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 3: call last week going down whatever was sixteen nothing, sixteen

488
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 3: to three to Troy. I think that's extremely helpful early

489
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 3: on in the season in the way that like as

490
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 3: soon as notreedme take any pick, but Notre Dame loses

491
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 3: last year to Northern Illinois and completely takes it out

492
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,239
Speaker 3: on the next like seven opponents. Right, they start drilling them,

493
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 3: they start getting bunned up. Everybody locks it.

494
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 1: It's a zombie Alabama situation, is what you're describing, right, Yeah,

495
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: a little bit of taste of their own blood and

496
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: then suddenly they turn into something more. Yeah.

497
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 3: Now what has me worried is there is a single

498
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 3: word that I don't love seeing next to a player

499
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 3: at any position, let alone Clemson's leading receiver, and that's hamstring.

500
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 3: Antonio Williams did not play last week correct against Troy,

501
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 3: And it might have been precautionary.

502
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: He might just be nicked up.

503
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 3: It might just be a very minor thing when you

504
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 3: are dependent on speed and power and force and your

505
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 3: hamstring is nagging at you.

506
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: I don't love it.

507
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 3: And maybe it's just because I myself an elite athlete

508
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 3: that provides a ton of torque in my life and

509
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 3: I've dinged up my hamstrings. Is not fun so and

510
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 3: I know obviously Clemson has firepower aside from him, but

511
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 3: I still like Clemson here because I think Georgia Tech

512
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 3: is going to have all of Clem's attention, especially after

513
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 3: what they almost did against Georgia last season, what they

514
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 3: did against Miami last season, And I think getting that

515
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,199
Speaker 3: wake up call, I think is going to be very

516
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 3: valuable for Clemson.

517
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: I think they have better players. I think they have

518
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: a better team.

519
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 3: And if you shut down, which is a big if

520
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 3: it's a big ask Georgia Tech on the ground, I

521
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 3: think it becomes a lot more difficult because Georgia Tech's

522
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 3: defense is still not at a place that I love.

523
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:27,959
Speaker 3: You know, I take Tennessee because it's a good defense

524
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 3: at home. I wish Georgia Tech's defense were a little

525
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 3: bit closer to above average. Yeah, it's two games in,

526
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 3: we have no idea, but I would have liked to

527
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 3: see in a little bit more against Colorado. So I'm

528
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 3: going Clemson here to win by a touchdown and take

529
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 3: this one thirty to twenty three.

530
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we're kind of on the same track here.

531
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: Like the big question for me goes back to Clemson's

532
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: offense in Week one against LSU. And I know I

533
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: mentioned it a few minutes ago, but just two hundred

534
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 1: and sixty one yards. Was that because the LSU defense

535
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: was so good. Was that because they're not that good

536
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: on offense, or they're still trying to get it together

537
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 1: on offense. Even last week they outgained Troy I think

538
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: by a total of five yards, and most of that

539
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: was in the second half. They had a sluggish start,

540
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: they had a weather delay, they had some injuries. You know,

541
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: we don't need to re litigate that. But I think

542
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: the Clemson offense question is obviously more of an existential

543
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,199
Speaker 1: thing that we're going to have to talk about over

544
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: the course of the season, and this is like another

545
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: important step to try and understand where they're at. I'm

546
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: not sure how much it matters though, against Georgia Tech,

547
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 1: because Georgia Tech is not a team, at least not

548
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: recently that anyone has associated with defense, virtually no pass rush.

549
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: A year ago, the pass defense was really bad. I

550
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: think they've got the talent to be better this season,

551
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 1: but I'm not expecting any kind of shutdown defensive effort

552
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 1: from them in this one against Clemson. So I think

553
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: this is a lot of fun. It's a great matchup.

554
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: I've got it at something like thirty one twenty five Clemson.

555
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: I'm not super confident in now.

556
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 3: You have to actually it's an actual gamble to feel

557
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 3: good about Clemson's offense.

558
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: It is right now, it is, and so that's why

559
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: I say I'm not overly confident in that. But part

560
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 1: of me feels like at this point I'm so invested

561
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 1: in Clemson. Just you know, I've been talking about Clemson

562
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: left and right since we started doing previews back in July.

563
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 1: I would be a hypocrite for not picking them in

564
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: a spot like this. So I think the difference ultimately

565
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: is the defense is better. The defense gets a few

566
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 1: key stops. It's fairly well telegraphed what Georgia Tech's gonna

567
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: do when they have the football and it's going to

568
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: go through Haines King. I think a couple key stops.

569
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: I think a couple big passing plays, probably to Bryant

570
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: Westco who had some big ones last week as well.

571
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: Thirty one to twenty five is sort of what I'm thinking.

572
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: But I think it's a good game, and I think

573
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 1: it's a lot of fun. It's a great matchup in

574
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: the early part of the day.

575
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 3: By the way, if Clemson doesn't score thirty points this week,

576
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 3: I think I might just be done with Clemson as

577
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 3: a national championship content. There's something very risk averse and

578
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 3: scared and shriveling about this Clemson offensive vision that I'm

579
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 3: just not on board with. Given the experience and given

580
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 3: the potential.

581
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: Three point thirty ESPN they call it the backyard brawl

582
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: Pit two and oh West Virginia one oh one. Pitt

583
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: is a seven point road favorite. They lead the all

584
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: time series sixty three wins to forty one losses. They're

585
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: also three ties thrown in there for those who care.

586
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: What do we do in a rivalry of this magnitude,

587
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: Dan Rubinstein, you.

588
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 3: Got to throw out the records unless the team just

589
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 3: did nothing against Ohio continual?

590
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: Can Rich Rod get revenge for his infamous thirteen to

591
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: nine loss against Pitts. That's true, the one that cost

592
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: them a spot in the BCS title game back in

593
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven. I will also point out, as

594
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: was emailed to us, this is of course a game

595
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: being played on the thirteenth day of the ninth month

596
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: of the year, just to maybe complete the semi Wow.

597
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: Did you see that somewhere? Did you? Maody emailed it

598
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: in oh, okay, nice, where are you at here?

599
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 3: I just don't you can say that West Virginia was

600
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 3: in a look ahead spot, but they knew Ohio was good.

601
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 3: They knew Ohio won the MAC last year. So this

602
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 3: is a quality opponent that they had last week that

603
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 3: they could do nothing basically on offense against. I have

604
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 3: no reason to pick West Virginia here other than the

605
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 3: fact that it's at home, and it's an emotional spot,

606
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 3: and you have to believe in like the Pixie dust

607
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 3: in Morgantown to feel good about West Virginia in the spot.

608
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 3: Even if Pitt is once again an up and down

609
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 3: team this season, obviously they're going to be motivated in

610
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 3: a rivalry spot. Obviously they have experience on offense and

611
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 3: a good track record on defense. Doesn't happen every year.

612
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 3: We'll see where they are pit again, what do you

613
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 3: know about Pitt this year? They're better than Douque. Yeah,

614
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 3: they're better than Central Michigan. Okay, So basically you're saying

615
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 3: to yourself, who has shown more of an ability to

616
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 3: completely tank and that's West Virginia in this moment, which

617
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 3: is like so obviously sort of understandable.

618
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 1: This isn't a roster that, like.

619
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 3: Rich Rodriguez has curated over the years and you know,

620
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 3: recruited to a specific vision over time. So I just

621
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 3: think Pitt's better and they're gonna win this game by

622
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 3: two touchdowns.

623
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, pittlock of the week, block of the week. You

624
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: know where I stand on Pitt. I like them a lot.

625
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: I take your point about Duquine in Central Michigan. I

626
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: don't think he can take a whole lot away from that.

627
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: But Eli Holstein is back healthy. They are seven and two.

628
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: When Eli Holstein is back and healthy, I think the

629
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: trend continues here. I was hesitant. I hate taking a

630
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: road favorite in a rivalry game like this. I hate, hate,

631
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: hate it. But the other thing that we should add

632
00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: to your point about what am I betting on with

633
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: West Virginia. Did you see Jaheim White is down for

634
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: the year now?

635
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say, yeah, he's done. And so

636
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 3: you're like, what are you betting on? You're like, well,

637
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 3: you're betting on less with regard to the rushing attack, probably,

638
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 3: So what is the manner in which West Virginia is

639
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 3: fighting here?

640
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,959
Speaker 1: West Virginia loss last week to Ohio, as you mentioned,

641
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: They were also outgained by nearly two hundred yards one

642
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty yards, So offense is a serious issue

643
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: at this juncture. Rich Rod is still figuring it out.

644
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: I don't think that is a black guy for West

645
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: Virginia or rich Rod. There's a lot new There's a

646
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: reason that he took over the program. They are basically

647
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: trying to reboot. So I'm not feeling it on the

648
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: West Virginia side. If West Virginia were to pull off

649
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: the upset here or even keep this one close, that

650
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: would be a shocker to me and would definitely be

651
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 1: a flashing red light with respect to my pit love.

652
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 3: You might even be fortunate if you are planning on

653
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 3: wagering on this game, that we've only seen two games

654
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 3: of West Virginia. Yes, because potentially, if we've have three

655
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 3: four games of West Virginia, if they if what last

656
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 3: week was is representative of where they are at least

657
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 3: early on in the season, you might have been looking

658
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 3: at an eleven and a half point line, thirteen and

659
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 3: a half point line.

660
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: So that's exactly right.

661
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 3: I hope we get a good one here. I hope that,

662
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 3: like we get a game that says look, West Virginia

663
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 3: is starting over. But you gotta appreciate their fight in

664
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 3: the spot like this against a hated rival. But it

665
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 3: you gotta really squint. You gotta have that ability between

666
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 3: the eyelids, because it's not apparent right now.

667
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: Thirty one to fourteen Pit wins going away. Yeah, thirty

668
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: four to thirteen. Yeah, four to thirty pm Eastern time

669
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: on the c dub dan USF two and O Miami

670
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: two and O Miami favored at home by a seventeen

671
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: and one half points. I would say a bit lost

672
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 1: in the shuffle amid Florida losing to USF is the

673
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: fact that USF through two weeks of the season has

674
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: blown all projections to smith reams with respect to its defense. True,

675
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: just twenty three points allowed to both Boise State and Florida.

676
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: Combine the audacity of Todd Orlando's defense. Oh, you're getting

677
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: out ahead of me. I was building to say that

678
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 1: I apologize. I was building to say that the secret

679
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:22,959
Speaker 1: in Tampa is Orlando. It's good. It's good. Look another

680
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: second chance.

681
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 2: Right.

682
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: What was his reputation after USC It wasn't great. He's

683
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 1: revived things for himself. It's great in both cases, both

684
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 1: Boise and Florida, we saw the opposing defense or opposing offense,

685
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 1: excuse me, look extremely sloppy, and I think we can

686
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: chalk some of that up to early season yips, maybe

687
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:49,439
Speaker 1: some look ahead with Florida having LSU on deck. Yeah,

688
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: but it is something to take note of going into

689
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 1: this game twice as a coincidence. If they were to

690
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: do it again, that could be more of a trend.

691
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: It's going to be harder, though, because I think Miami

692
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: is a better team and they have faced so far.

693
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: So yes, maybe the secret in Tampa is Orlando. Maybe

694
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: it isn't, but this is a big point spread. I

695
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: don't think USF can sneak up on anybody at this point,

696
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,240
Speaker 1: given what they've done through the early part of the season.

697
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: And again, this is an opportunity for Miami to prove

698
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 1: its metal, to prove that it's not going to look

699
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: past this opponent. With Florida on deck, where you at.

700
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 3: I'm taking Miami and I'm taking it for the like

701
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 3: this ends today. Element of it that USF has all

702
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 3: of Miami's attention. I don't think Miami is a finished product,

703
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 3: but I think with what they're ceiling is with regard

704
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 3: to speed on offense. I know you love the young

705
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 3: receivers from Miami after what you saw them do up

706
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 3: close against Notre Dame or I guess up close emotionally

707
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 3: not physically sure, And I like where Miami's defense appears

708
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,720
Speaker 3: to be and appears to be headed under Corey Heatherman.

709
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 3: I think when you have the potential to have as

710
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 3: disruptive a defensive line as Miami should have every week,

711
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 3: I think that changes the calculus that you can't just

712
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:12,479
Speaker 3: beat Miami with an opportunistic quarterback who can extend things.

713
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:13,919
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna get.

714
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 3: Hit a little bit more than he has been against Miami.

715
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 3: I like the receivers for USF a bunch, and it

716
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 3: would not at all surprise me if USF was up

717
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 3: ten to three or something in this game early. Because

718
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 3: I think Alex Golish is a great offensive mind. I

719
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 3: think they're gonna have a great game plan for Miami.

720
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 3: But I think over four quarters, the speed and the

721
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 3: attention and how locked.

722
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: In Miami is going to be.

723
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 3: I think it's going to go similarly to where it

724
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 3: was last year, even though this offense is not where

725
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 3: this Miami offense is not where Miami's offense was last year. No,

726
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 3: I think we're looking at something like thirty eight seventeen Miami.

727
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we also don't know where Miami's offense is

728
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: at this year. They played defense, play a really good defense. Yeah.

729
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: They blew out Bethune Cookman last week, and I think

730
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 1: we know for sure it'll look different. It can't look

731
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: the same because the quarterbacks are completely from players, But

732
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: this could still be a really good Miami offense. I

733
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: think gave voice to that, you know, I did a

734
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 1: big number. I think it'll be slower paced than it

735
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 1: was a year ago, and I don't think they're going

736
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: to have quite the playmaker in the backfield like they

737
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: did last year with cam Ward, but it could still

738
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:17,839
Speaker 1: be very good and we saw some of those guys

739
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 1: on display against Notre Dame. The USF offense is super

740
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: interesting to me, Yeah, because if you look at the numbers,

741
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: it's been a really fun combination of very explosive and

742
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,800
Speaker 1: highly inefficient, and in general, those are some of the

743
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: most fun teams to follow because you just don't know

744
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: what you're going to get from play to play. They

745
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:40,439
Speaker 1: are not playing quite as fast as I expected. They're

746
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,760
Speaker 1: basically building the entire plane out of Byron Brown, their quarterback,

747
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 1: along with Keishawn Singleton out wide, Chas Nimrod one of

748
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: the great chazz is in college football right now, next

749
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: to Chas Coleman up at Penn State. I don't know

750
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: if they can do enough just with that trio to

751
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: get the job done here against Miami, but I think

752
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 1: they're gonna try. The quirk for me is the look

753
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: ahead factor on the Miami side. Is that something that

754
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: we see come out early, come out late, my hunches,

755
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: we won't. I think how you feel about this game

756
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 1: depends entirely on where you're at with Miami's ability to

757
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 1: move the pile with its line. If you feel like

758
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 1: Miami's got the advantage up front, as I do, and

759
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: that they can push USF around like they did to

760
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: some extent Notre Dame, Yeah, then you feel like Miami

761
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:39,399
Speaker 1: can bully their way through USF and ultimately get get

762
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: the dub here. They can dictate tempo, they can dictate tone.

763
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: I think that's what happens. I don't think it's a blowout,

764
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: though I really don't. And so I was back and

765
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,280
Speaker 1: forth on this point spread, I've got it at thirty

766
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 1: one to twenty one, miamim interesting.

767
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 3: Okay, so you're taking the points here. So this is

768
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 3: what It's the third straight rear game for USF. I

769
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 3: mean a game against a very real opponent. Not a

770
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 3: lot of people can say that. If anybody right, it's

771
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,760
Speaker 3: their second straight game on the road in a difficult environment,

772
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 3: and I just wonder what the spread is if I

773
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 3: know this is going to sound fictional, tie, I know

774
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 3: this is going to sound like it's not of this world.

775
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 3: If Florida took care of business at the end of

776
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 3: the game in a sensical way, right that this was

777
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 3: an absolutely winning or winnable game for Florida that they

778
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 3: couldn't close in. So, like, what is our opinion of

779
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 3: USF if they just put up a good fight but

780
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,240
Speaker 3: lost late against Florida, You're like, Okay, great job USF.

781
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 3: You are hanging with a quality SEC team and you

782
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 3: beat a playoff program from last season.

783
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 1: What a start this is.

784
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 3: Twenty two and a half points, twenty four points, Like,

785
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 3: that's the question to me that, like, how much work

786
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 3: is that win doing when it was you know, on

787
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 3: the other side of things, a very losable moment for USF.

788
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: What's your final score prediction? I said thirty eight seventeen

789
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,760
Speaker 1: thirty eight seventeen, Yeah, yeah, I could see.

790
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 2: It all right.

791
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 1: Seven forty five sec Network Vandy two and O South

792
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: Carolina two and O South Carolina favored by four and

793
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:11,240
Speaker 1: a half points. Feel low, Feel it'slow, Uh not really.

794
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 1: I mean I think Vandy's good, not great, but good.

795
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: Weird quirk. Yeah. Week three. We have a common opponent

796
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 1: between these two teams, do we not we do in

797
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech. Yeah. I think it's a much harder ask

798
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 1: on the Vandy side to go two lane stadium and

799
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 1: beat Virginia Tech. Albeit not the Virginia Tech that we

800
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: grew up rooting for or grew up watching, right, but

801
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: still a tough place to play still, I think a

802
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: fair amount of talent on that side. Probably a bigger discussion,

803
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: But I was really impressed by the way that Vandy

804
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: asserted itself in the second half of that one, and

805
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: I think it really underscored the fact that they're a

806
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 1: good team. They're good team. Diego Pavia was still able

807
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 1: to take over. It's a veteran squad. They had a

808
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: ton of returning production I believe the most in the

809
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 1: SEC coming into the year, and it showed. It absolutely showed.

810
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: So now this is going to be the next step

811
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: here going to South Carolinas. One is at night. South Carolina,

812
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 1: I think does have a lot to prove in a

813
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 1: matchup like this. Okay, is there any reason to believe

814
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 1: that the Diego Pavia Pixie dust is going to be

815
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:27,879
Speaker 1: spread all over Columbia South Carolina? Yeah?

816
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 3: I don't know if you should feel amazing about South

817
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 3: Carolina's offense in this moment. How many offensive points did

818
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:34,799
Speaker 3: they score against Virginia Tech?

819
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 1: Seventeen? Right?

820
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 3: They had the punt return touchdown, right, correct, so I

821
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 3: think it's seventeen points against Virginia Tech. How many points

822
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 3: did Vandy score against Virginia Tech forty four? Forty four,

823
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 3: which seems like it's more than double. Again, I went

824
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 3: to a state school. Math is not my strong suit.

825
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 3: So if you were to take common opponent after three weeks,

826
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 3: Vanderbilt's offense was much better prepared, especially as the game

827
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 3: war on, to take it to Virginia Tech. Whereas South

828
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,959
Speaker 3: Carolina's offense, I have some questions about this offensive line

829
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 3: doesn't seem like it's fully formed whenever that form is

830
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 3: going to be. They're looking for answers in this moment,

831
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 3: so that would be a reason why to feel better

832
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 3: about Vandy. I don't love the double road game thing.

833
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 3: Two difficult places to play Williams Bryce and Lane Stadium.

834
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,879
Speaker 3: I think South Carolina by the fact that they're at home,

835
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,399
Speaker 3: that they I mean, they both have you know, folk hero,

836
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 3: super fun quarterbacks. I think they edge out Vandy late

837
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 3: in this one. I think there's gonna be an energy

838
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 3: to this one. I think it's be a great back

839
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 3: and forth. I have South Carolina winning this game ultimately

840
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 3: twenty seven to twenty four.

841
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 1: I've got it. I'm going to take the points. Okay,

842
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 1: I've got at thirty one to twenty South Carolina. But

843
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: I think it's a similar game to the one you described.

844
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 1: I do think it's close, and I think Vandy's a

845
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 1: good team, and I love the veteran experience, especially on

846
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: the road hostile environment like Williams Brice. They will probably

847
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: beat expectations again this season. They will find a way

848
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 1: to do that.

849
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 2: I know.

850
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 1: It's something that we talked a lot about in the

851
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 1: preseason about how well the schedule is going to be hard,

852
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: and it's an uphill battle to get back to where

853
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: they were. You remember all of that conversation a couple

854
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: months ago. But I still think they will find a

855
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 1: way to exceed expectations because that just seems to be

856
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:21,839
Speaker 1: the mentality in the culture of this program right now.

857
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: But it's just too much to ask. I think going

858
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,800
Speaker 1: to South Carolina at night to win this one outright,

859
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:29,839
Speaker 1: But I do think it's close for most of the game,

860
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: and I think Carolina pulls way late, kind of like

861
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 1: the Virginia Tech to be honest with you, So I'll

862
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 1: say thirty one to twenty, but I could see it

863
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,400
Speaker 1: being lower scoring and I could see it being closer.

864
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just going to need to see it from

865
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 3: South Carolina's offense because they didn't show much in terms

866
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 3: of closing in terms of pop against Virginia Tech in

867
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:48,359
Speaker 3: week one.

868
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: That's basically all we have. So this is a second

869
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 1: chance for.

870
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 3: South Carolina against quality opponents to show offensive progress.

871
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: A couple other quick hitters here that I want to

872
00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: talk through. Okay, I'm ready high neon ABC Wisconsin too,

873
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 1: and oh Alabama one and one, but Alabama favored by

874
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:08,239
Speaker 1: about three touchdowns here at home. Is there any good

875
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 1: reason to go Wisconsin plus the points outright? Can you

876
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 1: construct that case for me?

877
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 2: Now?

878
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: No, I can't. So it's Wisconsin.

879
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 3: Well, I guess has a second chance at a quarterback

880
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 3: after losing Billy Edwards early on. We'll see how when

881
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 3: he comes back. But if it's Danny O'Neil, I think

882
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 3: he's a backup quarterback, which means I think he has

883
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 3: some spunk, he has some playmaking ability. But when you

884
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 3: watch him play, when you watch him play against Middle

885
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 3: Tennessee last week, you're like, this is not gonna go

886
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 3: well against Alabama. Of Alabama cares why? And I think

887
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 3: Alabama's going to care against.

888
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 1: What did you see when you watched him?

889
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 3: I think he was a little bit late. I don't

890
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 3: think he's got a good arm. I don't think the

891
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 3: offense is going to be all that dynamic with him

892
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 3: in there. I don't think they have the receivers to

893
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 3: really challenge Alabama's dbs. And I think there's a good

894
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 3: chance that Wisconsin's going to struggle to protect him as

895
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 3: I think he's late, hold onto the ball too long.

896
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,280
Speaker 3: And Alabama, if they have a pass rush that's improving

897
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 3: over the course of the season, should be able to

898
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 3: disrupt his field division, should be able to disrupt his confidence.

899
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 3: I have Alabama big here, and I think they're gonna

900
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 3: be just fine against Wisconsin because look look at the

901
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 3: DCAL in Wisconsin's helmet. You have to take them seriously.

902
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 3: They're a major program, and I think Alabama will.

903
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got a zombie Bama situation. I think they

904
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:30,319
Speaker 1: tasted their own blood. I think they've been hearing what's

905
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 1: been said about them in the national media, and I

906
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:39,919
Speaker 1: think they handle Wisconsin easily. Forty five to fourteen, Yeah,

907
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 1: final something like that was going to say fifty two

908
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: to fourteen. I think they're going to run one up

909
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 1: here on the Badgers, seven pm ESPN, Arkansas on the

910
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 1: road at Ole Miss. Dan. Yes, Ole Miss is a

911
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 1: seven point favorite. Is it weird of me to feel

912
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 1: really good about Arkansas here? Yeah, I don't know what

913
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: you're feeling really good about. But their offense has been

914
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 1: so good so far.

915
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 3: They've looked really good, and I'm sure they've played like

916
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:11,879
Speaker 3: a legitimate defense where you're just like that's a measuring stick.

917
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:16,919
Speaker 3: They beat Alabama A and M. I know, listen, there's

918
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,280
Speaker 3: no comma between those they didn't beat Alabama and Texas

919
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 3: A and M. They beat Alabama A and M.

920
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I am going to go down with the ship

921
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:26,840
Speaker 1: on this one. Okay, I am taking Arkansas outright. Okay.

922
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I can't fully put into words

923
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 1: why I feel this way, but in looking at the

924
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: numbers that I saw, granted against far lesser competition, I

925
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 1: got the sense that they could win this game. I

926
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: am going to trust my intuition because when I try

927
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 1: to think through my picks, it generally doesn't work out

928
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,800
Speaker 1: any better. I'm going to go with my gut. My

929
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:51,720
Speaker 1: gut pick of the week is going to be Arkansas

930
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:53,399
Speaker 1: outright on the road at ole Miss.

931
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:59,760
Speaker 3: Have fun with that, Okay, I just look, I understand

932
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 3: why saying it. I understand that Arkansas has an exciting

933
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 3: quarterback and they're sort of they're They're led by a

934
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 3: very specific head coach who has a very specific vision.

935
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 3: They have an offensive coordinator was a very specific vision.

936
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 3: There's a lot to like about the fun quotion of

937
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 3: Arkansas this season. I just I think you need to

938
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 3: be a little bit more buttoned up to beat ole Miss.

939
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:25,240
Speaker 3: This version of ole Miss. Look, they weren't great against

940
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 3: Kentucky last week. The mistakes from Austin Simmons early weren't amazing,

941
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 3: and like only beating a team by a touchdown who

942
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 3: basically had no ability to pass the ball. That's not

943
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 3: a great look on Ole miss But I think against

944
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 3: Arkansas and this game is always weird a lot. There's

945
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 3: a long history of like interesting strange bounces and back

946
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 3: and forth and shootouts. I'm gonna go ole Miss here.

947
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:53,720
Speaker 3: I think last week that their experience in playing against

948
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:55,839
Speaker 3: a real defense, I think gives them an edge.

949
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:57,319
Speaker 1: I think they're able to sell Scott a little bit more.

950
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 1: I'm going to Ole miss Here by ten to twelve points, tailing.

951
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 1: He's been real good, I know, But what else is that?

952
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 2: I know?

953
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 1: Listen, I get it, I get it. Perhaps I'm going

954
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 1: out in the wrong limb. But I'm gonna go Arkansas, right,

955
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 1: what the hell? Yeah, I'm gonna give the points. Eight PM,

956
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 1: ESPN two the Darien Mensa Bowl, if you will, the

957
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 1: Mensa matchup Duke on the road at tu lane. Yeah,

958
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 1: Duke is favored by one and a half on the

959
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 1: road at two lane. Have you looked at two lane's numbers?

960
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:29,760
Speaker 1: So far, not closely. No, Tulane's been running the crap

961
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 1: out of the ball good this season, and.

962
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:34,840
Speaker 3: Well, they added their quarterback in like an hour and

963
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 3: a half before the season started, so you got to

964
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:38,240
Speaker 3: give him like a minute.

965
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 1: I think they're going to be motivated to get the win.

966
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 1: I think if anybody can make something of the fact

967
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: that Darien Mansa left, it's a guy like a John

968
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 1: Summroll who definitely speaks with his chest, with a lot

969
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,400
Speaker 1: of emotion and seems to know how to get a

970
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:56,359
Speaker 1: team fired up. I think he's going to be able

971
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:58,839
Speaker 1: to use this one to his advantage, and I think

972
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna end up winning this one out right now.

973
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 1: I also think there is a little bit of a

974
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:06,280
Speaker 1: prove it factor here at play on the Tulane side,

975
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 1: because with all the talk being about USF, with all

976
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:12,360
Speaker 1: the talk being about what are they going to do

977
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,359
Speaker 1: at quarterback, it almost feels like in the build up

978
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:17,320
Speaker 1: to the season, two lane was kind of an afterthought.

979
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 1: Boise was the one that everybody had penciled in on

980
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:22,839
Speaker 1: most of their playoff brackets. We saw some other teams,

981
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:25,359
Speaker 1: I didn't see enough Tulane on there, and I think

982
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 1: it was because some of the quarterback questions and you know,

983
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:31,240
Speaker 1: generally just some of the turnover that they experienced losing

984
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 1: Makai Hughes to Oregon Ducks. Right, I mean like there's

985
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 1: a lot. There's a lot there that I think factored

986
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 1: into why they weren't a little bit more prominent. A

987
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 1: guy like John summerl knows how to play off of that,

988
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 1: and I think they win this one at home. I

989
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 1: think they need to prove that they can beat a

990
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 1: team like this.

991
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:50,240
Speaker 3: I'm not abandoning Duke after one ugly loss to Illinois.

992
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:54,360
Speaker 3: I'm not abandoning Manning as, I'm not abandoning Dariu Mensa.

993
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:57,880
Speaker 3: I'm not abandoning any of these guys. They played okay

994
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 3: short of the five turnover if it weren't for those five, yeah, right.

995
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 1: Right right.

996
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 3: I think there's Duke value here. I think there is

997
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:13,880
Speaker 3: something random about turnovers. I think there can be something

998
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 3: correctible about a disastrously bad performance. Illinois won that game,

999
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 3: fair and square. They destroyed it Duke, because what do

1000
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:25,239
Speaker 3: good teams do take advantage of other team's mistakes. I

1001
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:27,799
Speaker 3: just don't think you can count on that from Duke

1002
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 3: each week. I think they're going to be focused. I

1003
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:31,400
Speaker 3: think they're gonna be locked in. I think it's a

1004
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 3: good time to get out of your home stadium, out

1005
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 3: of your home bed, get on the road, focus on

1006
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:39,880
Speaker 3: this game. They're going to take TU Lane seriously, obviously,

1007
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 3: and I think Duke is gonna win this one.

1008
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 2: On the road.

1009
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 1: We disagree, We disagree. And also, if you don't understand

1010
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 1: this line, then you lean into it, right, Yeah, well,

1011
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:52,919
Speaker 1: I was gonna say there's some logic in leaning into

1012
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 1: a line that you don't understand for sure. Also, they

1013
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 1: only beat Northwestern by twenty all right, if you under

1014
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:04,840
Speaker 1: the radar games, who just look at a periscope? What

1015
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 1: do we see out there on the high seas of

1016
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:11,799
Speaker 1: the college football Week three Landscape ten thirty on TNT

1017
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 1: Texas State at Arizona State. Arizona State lost last week

1018
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 1: on the road. I am not expecting much defense from

1019
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 1: Texas State. But if you are somebody who cares about

1020
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 1: point spreads, the line here is fifteen and one half points.

1021
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 1: It's a lot. I do think Texas State could score.

1022
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:32,399
Speaker 1: I am not touching this game with a ten foot poll,

1023
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: mind you, but if you're interested in points, I at

1024
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 1: least think that Texas State is going to give them

1025
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 1: a bit of a game early. They will find ways

1026
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 1: to score points because that's what they do. They just

1027
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 1: don't play defense, and that will ultimately be their undoing here.

1028
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:51,759
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I think if ASU has not completely fallen off,

1029
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:56,120
Speaker 3: they will use Texas State as an opportunity to get right.

1030
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:58,800
Speaker 3: If we believe that Sam Levitt is better than what

1031
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 3: he showed himself to be a it's Mississippi State, which

1032
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:04,919
Speaker 3: I do. I feel good about Arizona State. Not maybe

1033
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 3: as great, but I still feel good. I'm not abandoning

1034
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 3: the sun Devils after week two. And if we feel

1035
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 3: Texas State is competitive but like you said, perhaps defensively deficient,

1036
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 3: so this is a great opportunity for Arizona State to

1037
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 3: run hard.

1038
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 1: To lock back in.

1039
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 3: Kenny Dillingham seems to be the kind of coach that

1040
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 3: can get things right if they're going wrong right, has

1041
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 3: the personality, it seems like they have the culture to

1042
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 3: get things fixed quickly. So yeah, I think they win

1043
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 3: this game by three touchdowns forty two to twenty.

1044
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 1: Another game here that I think is quite interesting, Dan,

1045
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 1: I'm right, Minnesota on the road at Cal now ten

1046
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:47,839
Speaker 1: thirty kickoff on ESPN. Cal is a one point home dog.

1047
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 1: This line has jumped around a little bit. This is

1048
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:55,280
Speaker 1: going to be a very interesting setup because I'm interested

1049
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:57,800
Speaker 1: in seeing what Cal's freshman quarterback can do against a

1050
00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 1: pretty good defense in Minnesota. I think the defense is

1051
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:04,720
Speaker 1: the key. I also think this is a lower scoring

1052
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 1: game that's gonna end up being ugly, and somebody's gonna

1053
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 1: win twenty three to twenty. So just keep this on

1054
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 1: your radar. If you like what you've seen thus far

1055
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:17,919
Speaker 1: out of Jaron Kiave Songapoola Tela, perhaps you go Cal

1056
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:21,880
Speaker 1: outright here at home. Otherwise, maybe you take the Minnesota defense.

1057
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:24,319
Speaker 1: I'm Brian with the Minnesota defense. Twenty three to twenty.

1058
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess that's a challenge for Cal. It's another

1059
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:35,480
Speaker 3: late night game, though, So that's what time is that

1060
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 3: Minnesota time?

1061
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 1: I guess it would be nine thirty No, no, no, no, no,

1062
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 1: this is at Cal, right, it's at Cal.

1063
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, so oh, ten thirty pm East Coast. So it's

1064
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:49,279
Speaker 3: a nine to thirty kick, Yeah, you're right, nine thirty

1065
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:53,800
Speaker 3: kick from Minnesota. I don't know, man, there's bodycluck stuff

1066
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 3: at play here. We see it every year. Neil Oregon

1067
00:53:57,719 --> 00:53:59,759
Speaker 3: has it this week, by the way, traveling to Northwestern

1068
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:03,480
Speaker 3: an early kick So that's what nine am Oregon time, right.

1069
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:05,719
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna take cal here.

1070
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:07,840
Speaker 3: We saw it against Miami last year where they had

1071
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 3: that opportunity against a much better team in Miami to

1072
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:13,359
Speaker 3: close out that game. They choked it away. I'm gonna

1073
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:16,719
Speaker 3: go cal here to win this one, Okay. I think

1074
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 3: Minnesota is just gonna look off.

1075
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 1: That's fair enough. Actually, I guess it would be. Yeah,

1076
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 1: it's I mean, it's just a late game. I don't

1077
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 1: know what I'm trying to I'm trying to work the

1078
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:26,719
Speaker 1: math out of my head. I can't do it here

1079
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:28,279
Speaker 1: on the fly. But it's it's just going to be

1080
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 1: a late game for them. And Minneapolis is the central time.

1081
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:38,280
Speaker 1: Minneapolis is the central time, So it's kickoff another later kickoff.

1082
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 1: This one's on Friday night on Fox. This is case

1083
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 1: State on the road at Arizona. Case State only a

1084
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:49,120
Speaker 1: point and one half favorite against the Wildcats. Now I

1085
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:52,800
Speaker 1: had written Arizona off for dead. Arizona's actually looked fine

1086
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:55,759
Speaker 1: so far this season, as far as as much as

1087
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:57,919
Speaker 1: we can tell. We'll get much why we were State. Yeah,

1088
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 1: Kansas State has not. It all looked fine. Kansas State's

1089
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 1: got two losses. They have struggled in all three of

1090
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:07,239
Speaker 1: their games so far this season. I think I was

1091
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 1: incorrect previously when we talked about KSE State on maybe

1092
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 1: the Tuesday episode. I think I said that they were

1093
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 1: zero and three by mistake. It's kind of feeling like

1094
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 1: they're ow and three given where they're at right now.

1095
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,839
Speaker 1: But one and two. Their only win is that one

1096
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 1: thirty eight to thirty five whatever it was over North

1097
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:26,279
Speaker 1: Dakota a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, I'm gonna go

1098
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 1: Arizona out right here, Dan, I'm going to Arizona too.

1099
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:31,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on with k State, and

1100
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:33,400
Speaker 1: I don't want to bet on that side of this,

1101
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 1: So give me Arizona.

1102
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 3: So here's what's going on with Kansas State. They may

1103
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:42,279
Speaker 3: not be very good, they might be okay. This is

1104
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:45,239
Speaker 3: a week after a Service Academy team yep. So the

1105
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:48,319
Speaker 3: defense in some way is worn down with how much

1106
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:50,560
Speaker 3: they were on the field and what they had to

1107
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:53,959
Speaker 3: do against the best of Armies offense. That's not great.

1108
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 3: I have too much emotional baggage as an Oregon fan

1109
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 3: to deal with. Hey, things are not looking great. Let's

1110
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:04,680
Speaker 3: go to Tucson and play a game at night. Now,

1111
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 3: I have too much of that in my DNA, So

1112
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:10,160
Speaker 3: I'm going Arizona here. I don't know if I trust

1113
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 3: this offense at all. I love that against teams that

1114
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:16,320
Speaker 3: are not on the same level of Arizona that this

1115
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 3: defense held them completely down. Yeah, you can't take a

1116
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:23,759
Speaker 3: lot away from Hawaii and Weaver State. Hawaii did beat

1117
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 3: where they beat Stanford in week zero, correct, that's something

1118
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:30,040
Speaker 3: I guess. But holding teams to four and a half points,

1119
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 3: I like that. That's I mean, that shows focus, that

1120
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:36,640
Speaker 3: shows energy, you're locked in in the red zone. I

1121
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:41,359
Speaker 3: just I think Arizona is improved early on, and it's

1122
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:42,719
Speaker 3: just a bad spot for k State.

1123
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:45,360
Speaker 1: So give me the Cats. I have ten other games

1124
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 1: here that I'm going to rattle off very quickly. Okay,

1125
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:50,880
Speaker 1: just because these are other under the radar matchups for

1126
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:56,160
Speaker 1: one reason or another. Okay, seven pm old dominion at

1127
00:56:56,239 --> 00:56:58,760
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech. Virginia Tech's only favored by a touchdowns. Virginia

1128
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:00,319
Speaker 1: Tech needs to win this game. I think that goes

1129
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:03,040
Speaker 1: without saying. This game has not always been a blowout

1130
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:06,160
Speaker 1: favorite Virginia Tech. They need to blow out or win

1131
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:10,279
Speaker 1: for Virginia Techah, that's I'm trying to be gracious here

1132
00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:12,799
Speaker 1: because I know, ay Virginia Tech people go to city here. Yeah,

1133
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:15,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Hokies as well. Seven pm. APP State

1134
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:17,919
Speaker 1: on the road at Southern Miss. This is interesting because

1135
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 1: there's a lot new on both sides. I like where

1136
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 1: app State is at. Actually, so hang all over app

1137
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:24,920
Speaker 1: State here minus one and a half on the road

1138
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 1: at Southern Miss. I am as well. Friday, seven point thirty.

1139
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 1: It is Colorado. It is Houston, Colorado. It appears is

1140
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:36,240
Speaker 1: going to be starting a different quarterback. Now have you

1141
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 1: seen this in the news, Ryan Stith He's seen this Monday.

1142
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:42,600
Speaker 1: Ryan stob is the third string.

1143
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 3: Here's what I don't love from my college football programs

1144
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 3: and college football teams. If after two weeks when Deon

1145
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:55,880
Speaker 3: Sanders said there was maybe I'm misquoting here, but that

1146
00:57:56,000 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 3: there was an ongoing battle between Caden Salter and Juju,

1147
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 3: the freshman quarterback coming in with a lot of acclaim

1148
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:09,960
Speaker 3: that oh yeah, Juju's gonna see the field and we're

1149
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:11,720
Speaker 3: going to see what we have in them. And after

1150
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 3: two weeks, Ryan Stobb is reportedly getting the most reps

1151
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 3: in practice. They're like, if you have two quarterbacks, you

1152
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 3: don't have any if you have three quarterbacks, we have

1153
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:25,200
Speaker 3: a conversation to have about where this offense is, where

1154
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:30,200
Speaker 3: the passing attack is. So yeah, I don't know if

1155
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 3: there's injuries involved with either Caiden Salter or Julian Lewis,

1156
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:37,120
Speaker 3: but I think I'm going Houston here. I don't love

1157
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 3: where Houston's offense is at. It hasn't been especially explosive

1158
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 3: early on this season. No, but at Houston, I think

1159
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go Cougar's here.

1160
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 1: Cougar's favored by five and a half. I'm with you, man,

1161
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:50,760
Speaker 1: I'm with you. Not sure what's going on with that offense.

1162
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:55,480
Speaker 1: Some other notables. Michigan I believe was without Sharon Moore.

1163
00:58:55,600 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, it's Biff po Gee stepping in head coach,

1164
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 3: former Michigan associate head coach, went to Charlotte.

1165
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:06,920
Speaker 1: Didn't work out back at Michigan. Yeah, that's at high noon.

1166
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:10,400
Speaker 1: They're hosting Central Michigan. Also at high noon, your Oregon

1167
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 1: Ducks coming to town, big noon kickoff, gonna be there

1168
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 1: right there in Evanston Dan Oregon about a four touchdown favorite.

1169
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 1: It's notable. I think just because they get to play

1170
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:20,440
Speaker 1: in the portable stadium and you're going to.

1171
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:22,920
Speaker 3: Be there Martin Stadium, all be there. I might make

1172
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 3: some cookies and wander around some tailgates and pass out cookies.

1173
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just I'm very excited for my

1174
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:29,479
Speaker 1: team being there and I want to do nice things.

1175
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 1: So let me know.

1176
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:32,440
Speaker 3: If you're going to this game, we'll try to find you.

1177
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:35,480
Speaker 3: I guess the only reason not to give the points,

1178
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 3: because Oregon has clearly been dominant against Montana State and

1179
00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 3: Oklahoma State, is wind the elements.

1180
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 1: They're going to cream North because I.

1181
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:48,760
Speaker 3: Think they could probably run on them too. So I

1182
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:51,360
Speaker 3: know they've got Oregon State and Penn State coming up.

1183
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 3: But I guess your idea would be, like, yep, they're

1184
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 3: just going to be happy to win this game. Even then,

1185
00:59:57,640 --> 00:59:59,360
Speaker 3: like thirty five, I don't know what the score is,

1186
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:01,760
Speaker 3: whether they don't cover all right, so it's like thirty

1187
01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 3: five to seven.

1188
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:04,680
Speaker 1: Oh, I think they're gonna kill him. I think they're

1189
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:07,720
Speaker 1: gonna absolutely barely. Did I see that Camporter is out

1190
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:10,439
Speaker 1: for the year now? On the Northwestern side.

1191
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, Camporter has long been there and their number one tailback,

1192
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 3: he's done. It doesn't seem like the offensive line protects

1193
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 3: Preston Stone. It doesn't seem like his options at receiver

1194
01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 3: are all that interesting. They have good they have a

1195
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:26,480
Speaker 3: couple of really nice pieces on this defense, but I

1196
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 3: think it's just too tall a task.

1197
01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 1: Also at high noon, Memphis at Troy. Memphis is a

1198
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:33,479
Speaker 1: four and a half point road favorite. Memphis is another

1199
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:37,200
Speaker 1: one of these teams just sort of hanging around. Historically,

1200
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 1: Memphis has been one of the better non P four

1201
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:46,720
Speaker 1: schools G five, if you will. I'm not sure what

1202
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:49,680
Speaker 1: to make of them this season. I was a little

1203
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:52,840
Speaker 1: bit lower on the Tigers because they lost their longtime

1204
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:54,800
Speaker 1: quarterback and it was kind of like starting over in

1205
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:57,480
Speaker 1: some sense. But yeah, that being said to and oh

1206
01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:00,440
Speaker 1: that being said, G five ranks are kind of an

1207
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:03,440
Speaker 1: uproar right now given what we've seen go down, So

1208
01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 1: Memphis maybe can gradually assert itself and be part of

1209
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 1: that conversation. That's why I'm interested in this game. We'll

1210
01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:12,240
Speaker 1: see I'm gonna go. Memphis is a letdown spot for Troy.

1211
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 1: USC on the road at Purdue. You watch Perdue what's

1212
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:17,720
Speaker 1: your take on Perdue? They're not that good, but that's okay.

1213
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:19,919
Speaker 1: But they care, Okay, they care more.

1214
01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:24,040
Speaker 3: I thought they were playing with more, more gusto. I

1215
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:27,560
Speaker 3: just the talent level is not there. USC should be.

1216
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 3: I don't think it's not a look ahead spot for

1217
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:34,320
Speaker 3: USC or anything. I think USC should be in a

1218
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:36,280
Speaker 3: good place to win this game comfortably. So I'm gonna

1219
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:39,880
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give the points. Uh what time is kickoff

1220
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:40,240
Speaker 3: in this one?

1221
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:42,240
Speaker 1: Three thirty on CBS. Yeah.

1222
01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:44,480
Speaker 3: I think I think they're gonna be just fine, So

1223
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:47,160
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go USC here. USC has been stat padding

1224
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:50,360
Speaker 3: a little bit late, and that's okay too, but USC

1225
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:51,000
Speaker 3: should be fine.

1226
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 1: Iowa State it's a three touchdown favorite on the road

1227
01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 1: at the red Wolves of Arkansas State. I might have

1228
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:57,800
Speaker 1: been a little too high on Arkansas State, so let's

1229
01:01:57,840 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 1: go Iowa State here in this one for me.

1230
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:01,520
Speaker 3: Let down spot, I don't know if I would. I

1231
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 3: don't know if I'm giving the points. No, but it's

1232
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 3: a it's a letdown spot. So that has me a

1233
01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 3: little bit concerned.

1234
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:09,600
Speaker 1: But no, I'm okay. And the last one here on

1235
01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:14,760
Speaker 1: my list is fau at fi you fiu favored by

1236
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:17,240
Speaker 1: two and one half points. The only reason I bring

1237
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:19,160
Speaker 1: it up because this rivalry game they call it the

1238
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:22,560
Speaker 1: School Bowl. Yes, named after Don Shula. So there you go.

1239
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 1: If you are watching games and you're wondering to yourself self,

1240
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:30,800
Speaker 1: what is the best window for me to get the

1241
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:35,160
Speaker 1: full college football experience? To you is how bad you

1242
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 1: really want place? If you're looking to build that optimal quad,

1243
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:41,320
Speaker 1: you're looking at the Nightcap. I think this is one

1244
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 1: of the strongest quads that I have seen in a while.

1245
01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:48,960
Speaker 1: I agree, Florida at LSU running at the same time

1246
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:52,200
Speaker 1: as Texas A and m Notre Dame running at sort

1247
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:55,400
Speaker 1: of the same time as Vanderbilt South Carolina which starts

1248
01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:57,520
Speaker 1: at seven forty five because the SEC network does this

1249
01:02:57,600 --> 01:02:59,680
Speaker 1: weird thing where they got to be different, and then

1250
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:02,400
Speaker 1: at eight pm and ESPN two Duke on the road

1251
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 1: at two lane. Is I think a matchup that's gonna

1252
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 1: have a lot of emotion just because of the MENSA connection.

1253
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:09,440
Speaker 1: The MENSA matchup, if you will, I agree, if you

1254
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:11,240
Speaker 1: can get those four games in a quad, and I

1255
01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:13,520
Speaker 1: know some of the services out there, let you build

1256
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:15,520
Speaker 1: your own. Some are better than others. But if you

1257
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:18,520
Speaker 1: can build a quad with these four games, either through

1258
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:22,720
Speaker 1: the streaming service or manually on different TVs, whatever method

1259
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 1: works for you. But that's where it's at.

1260
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:28,920
Speaker 3: I totally agree. This is a great quad. This is

1261
01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:31,480
Speaker 3: going to be a great evening order some takeout food.

1262
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:34,880
Speaker 3: Really sink into the couch, do your thing. This is

1263
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:37,040
Speaker 3: you know they talk about Netflix and chill. Don't do

1264
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:40,360
Speaker 3: the chill thing. No, this is just college football and

1265
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:41,280
Speaker 3: college football.

1266
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 1: I think that's right. Also, we have a conversation to

1267
01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:51,000
Speaker 1: have here about the window of opportunity this week we

1268
01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:53,480
Speaker 1: talked about on Tuesday episode WED, a gentleman to reached

1269
01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:56,640
Speaker 1: out to us about having a birthday party for his

1270
01:03:57,000 --> 01:04:00,000
Speaker 1: kid between three and five pm Eastern time on Saturda.

1271
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:06,160
Speaker 1: I had another individual email me and say that, being

1272
01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:08,720
Speaker 1: Georgia fans, their kids are used to their birthdays not

1273
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:11,360
Speaker 1: meaning anything as they are also in the fall, you.

1274
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:12,880
Speaker 3: Can do it like what they do in schools with

1275
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:15,840
Speaker 3: summer birthdays, right they celebrate the half birthday.

1276
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:16,840
Speaker 1: Celebrate the half birthday.

1277
01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:19,200
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, they're like, well, you know, me is not

1278
01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:24,680
Speaker 3: turning seven until August, so let's have it in If

1279
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:27,400
Speaker 3: my math is correct, February to the half birthday.

1280
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 1: Then you could probably get away with missing up until

1281
01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:33,240
Speaker 1: about four thirty pm Eastern time if you need to

1282
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:35,240
Speaker 1: go out there and be amongst the people. If you're

1283
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:39,400
Speaker 1: hosting the birthday party for Junior, you're catching a neighborhood

1284
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:44,160
Speaker 1: showing of cats. Really, any other off Broadway production that's

1285
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:48,160
Speaker 1: your thing. Is Naked Gun still in the theaters, I hope,

1286
01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:49,480
Speaker 1: So I hope it makes a ton of money. I

1287
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:51,840
Speaker 1: want to go see it so badly. I'm see I've

1288
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:53,880
Speaker 1: been talking about going to see that movie for three weeks.

1289
01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:57,360
Speaker 1: What windows do I have? My life does not have

1290
01:04:57,720 --> 01:05:01,160
Speaker 1: either exercise or I'm with kids, the window of opportunity,

1291
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:03,800
Speaker 1: take the opportunity to go out there and watch the

1292
01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 1: watch the movie.

1293
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:07,840
Speaker 3: No, the problem is my attention span is so little

1294
01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:11,760
Speaker 3: that even when I'm home during the early window, then

1295
01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 3: I have to, like, thank God for the DVR stuff

1296
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:17,360
Speaker 3: on YouTube TV that's unlimited. I have to go back

1297
01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:19,920
Speaker 3: and watch what I miss while I'm watching current stuff

1298
01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:24,240
Speaker 3: with my crippling lack of attention span. And this week

1299
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:27,360
Speaker 3: I'm going to a game at eleventh Central, so I'm

1300
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:29,000
Speaker 3: really gonna have to catch up in that window.

1301
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:32,720
Speaker 1: You got to about four thirty pm Eastern time. Okay,

1302
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:35,760
Speaker 1: but after that you got to get in front of

1303
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:38,600
Speaker 1: your TV on the couch, get the quad loaded up.

1304
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:42,200
Speaker 1: The good news for the gentlemen who emailed me is

1305
01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:45,480
Speaker 1: if the party only runs till five, I gotta imagine

1306
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:48,480
Speaker 1: the little one's gonna be conked out pretty soon upon

1307
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:51,800
Speaker 1: getting home. Put them in bed early, get the quad

1308
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:55,200
Speaker 1: loaded up. You'll have enough of a taste for the

1309
01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:59,520
Speaker 1: college football a week at that point in time. That's true.

1310
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:02,640
Speaker 1: Do you have any food plans this weekend? By the way,

1311
01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:05,240
Speaker 1: Kate's after me to make the pizza. I haven't made

1312
01:06:05,240 --> 01:06:07,600
Speaker 1: pizza in forever. What's wrong with you? Man? You have

1313
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:11,120
Speaker 1: a gift. I have a gift. You gave me the recipe.

1314
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:11,600
Speaker 1: That's the gift.

1315
01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:11,760
Speaker 2: I know.

1316
01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:14,200
Speaker 1: But the other thing is, though, you've got a bum shoulder,

1317
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:16,560
Speaker 1: so I don't know if yeah, you're on the I'm

1318
01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:18,960
Speaker 1: going to talk about more in the bonus episode tomorrow,

1319
01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:23,960
Speaker 1: but ties song apart physically, some harrowing physical revelations that

1320
01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 1: I have to share with the verballerhood. By the way,

1321
01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:28,400
Speaker 1: verballers dot com is where you have access to that

1322
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:32,480

01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:36,840
Speaker 1: a one hundred and fifty dollars gift card to Bombas.

1325
01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 1: Bombas is not a current sponsor of the show, but

1326
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:42,120
Speaker 1: Dan has a saying here if you'd like to repeat

1327
01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:43,480
Speaker 1: that for the verballer hood.

1328
01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 3: You're only as comfortable as your feet are and or

1329
01:06:47,240 --> 01:06:51,800
Speaker 3: your undergarments, because Bombas makes an extremely comfortable for the

1330
01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:53,600
Speaker 3: dudes or anybody who wants to wear it, like the

1331
01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:57,960
Speaker 3: boxer briefs. Yeah, top of my rotation, really good, terrific undergarments,

1332
01:06:58,240 --> 01:06:59,720
Speaker 3: under rus whatever you want to call them.

1333
01:06:59,760 --> 01:06:59,920
Speaker 1: Tie.

1334
01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, the socks are obviously top of the rotation. I

1335
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:07,320
Speaker 3: was thinking about trying to figure out if I could

1336
01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:11,640
Speaker 3: somehow steal this fifty dollars. Yeah, yeah, I was thinking

1337
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:14,840
Speaker 3: about doing something illegal and else transferring this money to me,

1338
01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:18,080
Speaker 3: But my morals and ethics got the best of me,

1339
01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:19,600
Speaker 3: and I won't be taking this one hundred and fifty

1340
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:20,400

1403
01:10:29,640 --> 01:10:31,880

Speaker 1: this one off.

1411
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:53,320
Speaker 3: I think the important thing is Fordham's getting away from

01:10:53,360 --> 01:10:55,599
Speaker 3: the Bronx here. I think it's a chance to reset
