Yeah, even 24 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 3: like Northwestern Auburn games that I looked at and said, man, 25 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 3: I have no interest to watching that football game. On 26 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 3: second thought, after it all played out, ended up being 27 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 3: pretty exciting, pretty interesting. Some TV shows out there, a 28 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 3: lot of decent TV shows out there. 29 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: So that's what we're going to do today. Welcome back 30 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: to the show. 31 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 3: We're going to recap a bunch of the Bowl games, 32 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 3: the playoffs obviously being the two of the biggest, but 33 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 3: obviously we've got a bunch of other ones too that 34 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 3: we just have not had a chance to address because 35 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 3: we haven't recorded in this here twenty twenty one. Even 36 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 3: though we put a show out that dropped a New 37 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 3: Year's Day, this is our first time actually recording in 38 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,279 Speaker 3: the new calendar year, Dan. 39 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: So I hope you're ready for this.

Yeah, we have a lot of games, and 42 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: I think we have a lot of takes to fire 43 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: off that are probably percent correct. 44 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 3: We are two takesmen, to say the very least.

Is 58 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: it called us Twitch channel. I don't even know it's 59 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: a channel. Yeah, it's a channel, okay. And then our 60 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: Twitter feed is going to feature the video stream as well. 61 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 1: We're going to try to work in a guest or two. 62 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 1: And I had a great time, not because of the 63 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,119 Speaker 1: result of the Notre Dame Alabama game or the way 64 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: that the game went, just because it felt like an 65 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: authentic experience getting to watch a big Notre Dame game 66 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: with you, and hopefully I gave that with I guess 67 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: myself and with Jeff Schwartz a little bit in the 68 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 1: first half of the Fiesta Bowl. So that's something we're 69 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: leaning into. We have a really good time doing that. Yeah, 70 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: and we ended up doing the whole game for the 71 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: Rose Bowl. You and I. 72 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 3: We took a break in half. The plan was originally 73 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 3: just to do the first quarter, but we got into it. 74 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 3: We had a lot of people stopping buy and chatting 75 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 3: along with us. It was a lot of fun, and 76 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 3: I think it was something that we were excited about. 77 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 3: So let's do more of it. 78 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: Definitely, okaeper rolling, Okay, we kind of skipped over. I 79 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: think we should start with the headliners. If we're recapping games. 80 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: We're not going to preview the National championship matchup between 81 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: Alabama and Ohio State until this coming week. But I 82 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: think we should start with the big ones and then 83 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: head into whatever order you want. Well, why don't we 84 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: start with the Alabama Notre Dame game. Let's do it. 85 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 3: Alabama came into this a nineteen and a half point favorite, 86 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 3: number one team in the country squaring off against Notre Dame. 87 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 3: And look, we made the assumption going into this game 88 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 3: that Alabama was the better team, that they would win 89 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 3: regardless of the point spread, and they did. They did 90 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 3: thirty one to fourteen. 91 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: I do not want to. 92 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 3: Gloss over the job though, that Alabama did game planning here, okay. 93 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: Because they kept it simple. They kept it very, very simple. 94 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 3: It was a lot of motion to find the right matchups, 95 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 3: and essentially it was very simple. We're going to get 96 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 3: our athletes one on one with your defenders, and we're 97 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 3: going to put them in a position to make plays. 98 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 3: They built the whole plane out of that. 99 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: Dan. 100 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 3: There wasn't a lot of high risk stuff in the 101 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 3: offensive playbook. They just got the guys in space. And 102 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 3: you saw that a lot with Davonte Smith. We saw 103 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 3: it with Naji Harris. 104 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: We saw it well. Harris created his own space, Harris 105 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: creators born. Yeah. 106 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 3: Fair to say, sure, But I think that was what 107 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 3: jumped out to you and I as we did the 108 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 3: live stream. They were not at all stressed trying to 109 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 3: move the ball down the field. They had their playmakers, 110 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 3: they knew it, and they just executed. Gave Mac Jones 111 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 3: a couple of easy throws off to the races, guys 112 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 3: like Devonte Smith. 113 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 1: Yeah, and they weren't stressed by Notre Dame's ability to 114 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: tackle in space, the way that they were just getting 115 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: the ball quickly out to the perimeter. Stuff like that 116 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: that you know, they trusted guys who've made plays all 117 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: season long or four years now for the Tide. Very 118 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: sound game plan. 119 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 3: Mac Jones, Texas coach Steve Sarkesan. No, we'll get to that. 120 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 3: We'll get to that, I know, and we talked about 121 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 3: the Texas game. We'll get to that some some other 122 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 3: breaking news to discuss. Mac Jones close to three hundred yards, 123 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 3: had four touchdowns, Naji Harris fifth team for one twenty 124 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 3: five and a sick hurdle early in the game over 125 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 3: a Notre Dame defender, and DeVante Smith look probably going 126 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 3: to be your Heisman winner seven for one point thirty 127 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,799 Speaker 3: and three touchdowns. We talked a lot on the stream 128 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 3: about how he just glides. It's effortless for him to 129 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 3: run and cut and move and simply no answer for 130 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 3: that on the Notre Dame side. Moving to that Notre 131 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 3: Dame side, if I could for a second, please, they 132 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 3: weren't able to play the same game. They weren't able 133 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 3: to play the same game. In a perfect world, they 134 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 3: could do what Alabama did. But it's been a season 135 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 3: long endeavor trying to find who those playmakers could be. 136 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 3: On offense, they did lean into the running game to 137 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 3: some extent with Kien Williams early on built a nice 138 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 3: drive to get the game back to fourteen to seven 139 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 3: after it felt like maybe it was it was slipping away. 140 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 3: But we knew when you and I discussed on the 141 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 3: stream that this was going to be temporary, that eventually 142 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 3: Alabama would figure this out. They'd start stacking the box, 143 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 3: and they would force Ian Book to make some plays 144 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 3: through the air outside of Kiren, outside of Michael Maher 145 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 3: catching some over the middle, and Chris Tyree had a 146 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 3: couple touches that were pretty electric. Notre Dame just was 147 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,559 Speaker 3: not getting the same level of openness on the field 148 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 3: of play with its athletes, and they didn't put their 149 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 3: guys in a chance to make enough plays. Bamba was 150 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 3: not afraid of those one on one matchups, and over 151 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 3: the course of sixty minutes, that's how you win a 152 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 3: game by seventeen points. In fairness, it was more like 153 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 3: twenty four because of the garbage type touchdown. But all 154 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 3: that being said, I just it came down to matchups 155 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 3: in this game. Alabama was clearly the better team when 156 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 3: it came to getting its guys in space, and Notre 157 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 3: Dame all season long has had a hard time finding 158 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 3: ways to do that. 159 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: Did you see the expected scoring margin from Bill connolly 160 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: given the points scored when in scoring position and non 161 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: garbage time success, right, the metrics that he uses, Like 162 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: what the average result is given those metrics? I didn't 163 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: see it had to be like thirty five. Yeah, it 164 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: was something like that. It was thirty plus, and understandably 165 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: so because Notre Dame was succeeding in increments. And the 166 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: only thing I suppose that's I think this is also 167 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: the Bill c factoid, is that influences game results more 168 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: than turnover margin is explosive play margin and incremental progress 169 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: on offense can can keep you in a game for 170 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: a certain amount of time, as you alluded to the 171 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: fourteen to seven score in the second quarter, But at 172 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: a certain point, as we like to say, Notre Dame 173 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: just has that ceiling. Notre Dame is a team that 174 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 1: had a very good season that especially when you look 175 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: at who was in the playoff and the results of 176 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: the playoff, and I don't know how far you wanted 177 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: to stretch out the transitive property. But you know, Clemson 178 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:04,839 Speaker 1: got kind of demolished and previously previously demolished Notre Dame. 179 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: So it wasn't a great performance by Notre Dame. I 180 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: don't think it takes away from some of the highs 181 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: of the season. But as you and I have both 182 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: pointed out in terms of playmakers, in terms of Winter 183 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: Wonders that we named a fantasy game after that is 184 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: what catches up to a team like Notre Dame that 185 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,959 Speaker 1: it can make plays on defense, that has those playmakers 186 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: on all three levels really most of the year. But 187 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: it's the depth. It's the ability to change the course 188 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: of a game with a single move, and it's coming 189 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: through in those moments. And you can point to certain 190 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: moments that you know, those high leverage moments that once 191 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: again Notre Dame failed with. They're down twenty one to 192 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: seven at the beginning of the second half and Ian 193 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: Book almost immediately throws a pretty bad interception. Yeah, and 194 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 1: then it's twenty eight to seven, and it goes from 195 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: feeling like a well, Notre Dame can claw back to well, 196 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 1: they just got their nails clipp yeah, and they had. 197 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 3: Gotten the stop right, they had gotten a stop because 198 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 3: Bama got the ball to start the second half and 199 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 3: Book comes out and throw as a pick and like 200 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 3: not to cut you off, but now go for it. 201 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 3: Book was supposed to be the X factor, the way 202 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 3: that this offense is constructed, with its lack of playmakers 203 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 3: out wide. Let's say Book is sort of that X factor. 204 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 3: He had a really good season, he had a great career, 205 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 3: but there was always a limit to how far he 206 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 3: could take the Irish. This game, I thought was a 207 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 3: really good example of that. It's not exactly a scarlet 208 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,959 Speaker 3: letter to go up against Alabama and lose badly. There 209 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 3: are a lot of teams, a lot of good players 210 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 3: that have found themselves in similar situations. I think he 211 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 3: did about as well as he could. But this was 212 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 3: not an unexpected performance. It just wasn't meant to be. 213 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 3: And again, over the course of sixty minutes, I think 214 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,839 Speaker 3: we sort of expected that it would take this turn. 215 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,959 Speaker 3: Notre Dame did have their chances to get back in 216 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 3: this one, to get a little bit closer, but ultimately 217 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 3: it's Alabama getting the job done here winning by the 218 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 3: seventeen points. It felt like more that said yeah, congrats 219 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 3: their cover. Yeah, so you got to take your victories 220 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,719 Speaker 3: where we could get him. Thirty one seventeen is your final. 221 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: And one not an impossible Alabama defense fourteen thirty one 222 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: seventeen Sorry, yeah, thirty one fourteen. 223 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. 224 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: Teams like LSU and Tennessee scored seventeen against Alabama, not 225 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: quite for Notre Dame. So you know, I'm trying to 226 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 1: spin it positively. I tried to keep you optimistic throughout 227 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: the game that this is what Notre Dame needs to do, 228 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: and you know there were those moments. You know, that 229 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: interception was certainly one of them where you get that 230 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: stop and you need to turn it into points immediately, 231 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: and it was turned into another change of possession. So 232 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 1: we'll talk, I think, in the bonus part of this 233 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: episode for our reballers on Patreon about deeper meaning for 234 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 1: a lot of these teams that either won or lost 235 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 1: these bigger games moving forward. But impressive, impressive showing from Alabama. 236 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: Mac Jones was extremely accurate, was given extremely workable throws. 237 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 1: DeVante Smith was DeVante Smith? You mentioned the Najie Harris element. 238 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: I thought the defense at a really nice job of 239 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: keeping the Notre Dame offense in front of it. They 240 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 1: didn't allow. You know, when Notre Dame did take down 241 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: Clemson during the season, it was, you know, a couple 242 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: of those explosion plays late that opened things up and 243 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: then secured the win. There was nothing there, and Alabama 244 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,079 Speaker 1: was down a couple guys. And at this point, everybody's 245 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: down guys, but Alabama down a couple starters on defense 246 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: or making changes on defense. So some new looks there. 247 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: I thought. I thought Alabama looked strong. I don't know 248 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: how much there is to extrapolate on the Bama side 249 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: of things beyond I think Ohio State's going to offer 250 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: a heightened offensive challenge. 251 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 3: Well, I'm glad you bring that up, because the real 252 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 3: shocker was not Notre Dame losing by seventeen. The real 253 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 3: shocker was in the Sugar Bowl. It was the game 254 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 3: that followed semi final Number two. Ohio State came into 255 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 3: this game with Clemson about a seven and a half 256 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 3: or six and a half point dog on where you 257 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 3: look now. I had been talking this up on our 258 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 3: discord just with you personally. I was really sweating that 259 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 3: line if I could get Clemson down to seven, and 260 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 3: right before kickoff, a little bit of late money came 261 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 3: in on Ohio State, and I was feeling myself because 262 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 3: I grabbed Clemson at minus six and a half. Yeah, 263 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 3: and I was excited. I texted you, You're like, oh, congratulations. 264 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: I was excited. I knew you were I knew you 265 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: were weighing the pounds. 266 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 3: And then I got even more excited when I was 267 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 3: able to grab a live line of I think it 268 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 3: was Clemson plus fourteen and a half early in the 269 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 3: third quarter. 270 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,199 Speaker 1: Nice. I lost a lot of money on this football 271 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: game day. I lost a lot of money. 272 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 3: Relatively speaking for me, I lost a lot of money 273 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 3: on this football game. In the first quarter, it looked 274 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 3: like we were in for one hell of a shootout. 275 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 3: In the second quarter, I think Ohio State people are 276 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 3: going to remember that second quarter for a long time 277 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 3: because they were dominant. They ripped off twenty one straight 278 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 3: on the arm of Justin Fields might have earned himself 279 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 3: a lot more money in total by throwing six touchdowns 280 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 3: and only missing six throws in a really gritty effort 281 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 3: after taking the helmet to the side on the you know, 282 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 3: weird targeting call. James Skalski, Yeah, James KEKs again in 283 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 3: the Sugar Bowl definitely plays with it. 284 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: An edge I have. I have never seen the targeting 285 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: call on a body shot. I understand the way the 286 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: rules written. I've read the rule of lowering the helmet. Yeah, yeah, 287 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: see what. 288 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 3: That It just felt like in context to me, like 289 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 3: that was tic tac, Like they shouldn't have called that's 290 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 3: what's the guy supposed to do? 291 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean everything looks a lot worse in slow motion. 292 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: It was I think a buy the book targeting call. 293 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: It was. It was as it's written, the way you know, 294 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: he lowered his helmet and went after a high point. 295 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: But at the same time, you're right, I mean it's 296 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: the spirit of the rule is admirable. I don't think 297 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: it's changed anything within the sport, but you want to 298 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: protect people both on offense and defense. So I understand it. 299 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: And it also underscored like, man, Justin Fields is doing 300 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: this for professional experience. Man, yeah, he's worth a lot 301 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: more what he is earning for the Ohio State book Eyes. 302 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: Justin Fields was sensational. Justin Fields was incredible. Beat up. 303 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: Lord knows what allowed him to play in this second 304 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: half because he was coming off the field like he 305 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: had left a war, like he was limping, and I 306 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: laughed because I'm just incredulous, not because I think it's funny, 307 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: and then to come out in the second half and 308 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: still look like he did. I thought the game plan 309 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: from Ohio State was incredible. I thought the use of 310 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: tight ends something that they hadn't really done this year 311 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: in a long time. Yeah, that was significant, the throwback, 312 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: the touchdown catches, it added a new element. Obviously Notre 313 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: Dame succeeded a little bit with tight ends against Clemson, 314 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: so maybe there was something there. And man, was the 315 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: Clemson secondary exposed? Was the Clemson secondary exposed by Chris olave, 316 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: great wide receiver at one point? I believe it was 317 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: Brent Vennable's son who got completely torched by Chris o'lave. 318 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: Maybe he didn't come down with the catch, maybe he 319 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: was overthrown. But it's never good when Tofer Venables whatever 320 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: his name is, I like tofer, is asked to do 321 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: work in that secondary. They're thin there. Obviously Nolan Turner 322 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: missed some time. And you know the vaunted Clemson second 323 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: or the vaunted Clemson defense. I suppose it's sort of 324 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: a week to week thing in terms of the game planning, 325 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: in terms of how well, whether or not you believe 326 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: the reading signals thing is is a huge element of 327 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: their success. They're still pretty young upfront. I don't think 328 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: they have star power quite yet. On that defense. I 329 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: think they're going to improve. But man, Trace Sermon running wild. 330 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: I don't know what happened with him at Oklahoma. They 331 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: could have used him this year. Yeah, I'm sure there's 332 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: some sort of maybe an interpersonal issue at some point, 333 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: who knows, But ah, wow, Trace one popping. 334 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 3: Ninety three on the ground. The thing that I came 335 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:28,439 Speaker 3: away feeling was I think some level of surprise at 336 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 3: how well Ohio State pushed around Clemson in the trenches. 337 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: Like, yeah, both sides of the ball. We're talking about 338 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: the offense, but you're right, both sides of the ball. 339 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: How State was incredible both sides of the ball. 340 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 3: I expected it a little bit with the Ohio State 341 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,719 Speaker 3: D line against the Clemson offensive line, because there were 342 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 3: some questions there. We had talked about that. But what 343 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 3: they did on the flip side, the way that they 344 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 3: pushed around Clemson's D line, Like you said, young up front, 345 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 3: but just didn't expect that, did not expect to see 346 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 3: that kind of impact five point eight yards per run, 347 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 3: and you know, for the most part, I thought they 348 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 3: did a good job keeping justin fields protected to the 349 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 3: tune of thirteen point eight yards per past, so he 350 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 3: was able to get those looks. He was obviously dealing 351 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 3: only with six passes through six total touchdowns and had 352 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:24,919 Speaker 3: the one pick, But like for him to have the 353 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 3: amount of time that he did to make some of 354 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 3: those throws, Clemson just couldn't cover it. They had no answer. 355 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 3: They couldn't stop it. They were out gained six point 356 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,120 Speaker 3: thirty nine to four forty four in the football game. 357 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,679 Speaker 3: Whenever you've got a performance like that defensively, you're just 358 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 3: on your heels the entire game. Just when we thought, 359 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 3: like usually Clemson's been in this situation before, where they 360 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 3: start off, they got a couple series, it feels like 361 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,959 Speaker 3: they're on their heels, then they recalibrate, Brandon Venables does something, 362 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 3: and all of a sudden it's over. 363 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: That never happened. I kept waiting for that to. 364 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 3: Kick in here, and it just felt like they were 365 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 3: on their heels the whole game. Trevor Lawrence, to his credit, 366 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 3: three for four hundred yards, tried to bring him back. 367 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 3: But when your defense is down two scores, constantly on 368 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 3: its heels. It doesn't matter how well you perform, You're 369 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 3: just never going to have enough daylight to try and 370 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 3: get out there and you know, pick up some grounds. 371 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 1: So it was not meant to be. 372 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 3: Ohio State had the right game plan, the right mix 373 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 3: of Justin Fields and Trey Sermon to continually keep Clemson 374 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 3: on the back foot, and that I think over the 375 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 3: long haul, ended up being a difference forty nine. 376 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: What was the final here, forty nine to eight? Yeah, 377 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 1: forty nine to twenty eight. Yeah, thirty five points at 378 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,439 Speaker 1: halftime for Ohio State. And also Justin Field's with what 379 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: a beat up thumb heading into this game was just 380 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: and it was incredible watching Ohio States offense and the 381 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 1: way that they changed a lot up, at least to 382 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: my dumb eyes, from what they looked like during the 383 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: regular season, almost like they were running Techmo super Bowl playbook. 384 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: Ohio State just not wanting to show anything until the playoff. 385 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: That would be a polite way of looking at it, 386 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 1: I suppose, because they did struggle at times to make 387 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 1: plays and execute. But I you know, you come away 388 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,679 Speaker 1: from this Ohio State matchup and you think, man this 389 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 1: is a team that has that has been sitting on 390 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 1: this loss for a year, and poetically Chris o'lave was 391 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: the receiver, I believe, with the miscommunication with Justin Fields 392 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: that led to the interception that sealed the Clemson win 393 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 1: last year in the end zone. So for him to 394 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 1: pop off like he did, especially after missing the Big 395 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,919 Speaker 1: Ten championship game, good story. It is a It's just 396 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: a very very good story for a team that Dabbo 397 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: Sweeney considered to be eleventh in the nation by actually 398 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: he complimented Ohio State a time like the context was 399 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 1: missing with a lot of people posting that, you know, 400 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: he ranked them eleventh, but also Clemson played a game 401 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 1: in a month like this was a rested Clemson team. 402 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 1: Maybe they they definitely played more games, but it was 403 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,479 Speaker 1: still a rested team. 404 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 3: I enjoyed the fantasy thing of having the score of 405 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 3: last year's semi final in the weight room. You saw 406 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,719 Speaker 3: a couple shots of that twenty three. That's that's one 407 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 3: of my favorite things of all time. Anyway, your final 408 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 3: again is forty nine to twenty eight Ohio State with 409 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 3: a resounding victory one for the Ages. They will now 410 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 3: go into the College Football Playoff National Championship next Monday, 411 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 3: the eleventh of January. They are a seven point dog 412 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 3: in this one as well, seven to eight. I've seen 413 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 3: it jump around a little bit, but it's about a touchdown. 414 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 3: We'll get into that game, as you said, Dan on 415 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 3: the Wednesday preview show, we'll talk through exactly what we 416 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 3: think is going to happen in that football game. But yeah, 417 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 3: definitely open some eyes with this performance and will present 418 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 3: a number of unique challenges to Alabama that you know 419 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 3: they haven't seen at all this year given their competition. Yep, Okay, 420 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 3: elsewhere in college FOOTBA. Why don't we travel back in time? 421 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 3: Could let's travel back. 422 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 2: In the time. 423 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: Oh, we're going to travel back in time. 424 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,959 Speaker 3: We can go through some of these, I think fairly quickly. 425 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 3: The Cheese It, Alamo and Cotton Bowls. Yeah, Oklahoma State 426 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 3: thirty seven, Miami thirty four, Texas fifty five, Colorado twenty three, 427 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 3: Oklahoma fifty five, Florida twenty A big bowl season for 428 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,679 Speaker 3: the Big Twelve as you look at these three games 429 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 3: in particular, just some really quick thoughts on these. The 430 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 3: Cheese It Bowl ended up being a pretty good game, 431 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,919 Speaker 3: despite the fact that Oklahoma State jumped out to a 432 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,159 Speaker 3: twenty one to nothing lead in the first quarter. It 433 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 3: will be shaded, regardless of result here by the fact 434 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 3: that Derek King tore an ACL. 435 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: That was that was the story here. 436 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 3: And Spencer Sanders had a good game, and the Oklahoma 437 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 3: State passing game looked pretty good. But unfortunately, I think 438 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 3: the lasting takeaway from this game will be the fact 439 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 3: that Derek King, who just announced he's back to it 440 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 3: to Miami next year, Yeah, goes out there and tears 441 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 3: an ACL in the first half. 442 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. 443 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: It was more of even though the Derek King thing happened, 444 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: it was more of what we've come to expect from Miami, 445 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: good and bad. You know, the playmakers developed in the 446 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: pass catching group, Brevin Jordan and Mike Harley, guys like that. 447 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: Nikosey Perry came in and made plays and helped to 448 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 1: bring them back. They ran the ball actually well, which 449 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 1: they didn't always do this year, and still committed a 450 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 1: bunch of penalties. So I think that was it was 451 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 1: fairly even penalty wise, But you know, the turnovers, the 452 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,120 Speaker 1: fumbles are gonna are gonna get you, and I did 453 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 1: see just in terms of next year, I think both 454 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: Tylan Wallace and Dylan Stoner confirmed that they're entering the 455 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 1: NFL Draft. So yeah, it'll be certainly a new look 456 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: with Cheuba Hubbard gone and obviously a new lo Oklahoma 457 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: state group of skill position guys on offense. But a 458 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: very nice way to end the season. A very strange season, 459 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 1: I would say for the Cowboys, Go Pokes. Spencer Sanders 460 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: had a nice game, got into the end zone a bunch, 461 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 1: so you know, wait to hold on. Star jumped out 462 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,919 Speaker 1: of the gate in an impressive fashion and got the W. 463 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: Great the other Big twelve storyline here. 464 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, Texas fired Tom Herman dan they did. Yeah, how 465 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 3: many weeks ago was it that he supposedly had the 466 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 3: vote of confidence and that they were going to stick 467 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 3: with him. 468 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:30,360 Speaker 1: It's like three weeks ago? Yeah, I mean that seemed 469 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 1: to be a recruiting and signing deploy more than anything else, 470 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: like let's secure the signatures if you're gonna be cynical 471 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 1: about things like I tend to be. Yeah, it was 472 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,119 Speaker 1: I read I think it was Max Olsen in the 473 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: Athletic talking about how it was just untenable with Texas 474 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: going after urban Meyer the way that they did and 475 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: given urban Meyer and Tom Herman's history, that it was 476 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: just a matter of time and finding the right guy, 477 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: and once I suppose Texas did and vetting and agreeing 478 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 1: to hire Steve Sarkisian, it was just going to happen 479 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: that way. And I don't know what you do with 480 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 1: the recruits who signed with Tom Herman and that program, 481 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: and it was a down recruiting class in terms of 482 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: who they signed from Texas. I saw one of the 483 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,640 Speaker 1: top twenty players in the state signed with UT, which 484 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: is never great, never a great sign, never a great 485 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: vote of confidence in the direction of the program. So 486 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: it felt inevitable. The statement from Chris del Conti, the 487 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: athletic director who did not hire them, came over from TCU, 488 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: helped spearhead TCU's voyage to the Big East. If you remember, 489 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: for about a week and a half, Tom Herman's not 490 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: his guy. So it's a big swing and comes on 491 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 1: the heels of a really impressive performance by really the 492 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 1: youth of Texas in their Alimo Bowl win over Colorado, 493 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,880 Speaker 1: but an eventful, eventful few days on the four it's 494 00:25:55,920 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: a fifteen million dollar buyout by the way for thossas assistance. 495 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 1: Another nine. 496 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 3: I think, yeah, it gets to twenty four million in 497 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 3: total to get rid of the whole staff. Some big 498 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:10,640 Speaker 3: names being linked to coordinator positions hiv Nder Sark, Will 499 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 3: mush Champ or a Texas assistant coach rumored obviously to 500 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:20,400 Speaker 3: maybe come and help with defense, Kevin Steele. Marcus Freeman's 501 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 3: a hot commodity given what he's done at Cincinnati. A 502 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,120 Speaker 3: bunch of names being bandied about here. We'll see which 503 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 3: direction Sark goes. I was just looking here on my soundboard. 504 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 3: I have to update my Sarktober sound. We had a 505 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 3: Sark Tober sound from way back, did we really? It's 506 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 3: still in the wrong audio format. 507 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 1: So maybe in time. How do we have both? We 508 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: have a Sarktober and a broc Tober. I don't know 509 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,919 Speaker 1: what brock Tober's future looks like. I assume I'll be back, 510 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,959 Speaker 1: but I don't know. I don't know who I mean, 511 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: guess I guess it's a week to week thing. Who 512 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 1: gets priority. Well, we'll have to see. 513 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 3: I mean, we can play the hits, whatever work, whatever 514 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:56,640 Speaker 3: works best. I have to see if I can update 515 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 3: that at the same time that we're recording here. 516 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: That could be all right, fair enough, that could be difficult, 517 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: but I have no recollection regardless. 518 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 3: Listen, big win for Texas, as you said, a bit 519 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 3: of a youth movement with Casey Thompson and Jon. 520 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: Robinson. 521 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 3: Robinson, Yeah, just a good showing there to put fifty 522 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 3: five on the board. 523 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: Texas was definitely. 524 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 3: More of a finished product. I think we would agree. 525 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 3: Colorado a good story. But a win for Texas in 526 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 3: the Alma Bowl and then moving on to the Cotton Bowl. 527 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I actually I really liked Casey Thompson by the way, 528 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 1: he look good. I think he's promising four touchdowns off 529 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 1: the bench. He's been there for a while. 530 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 3: In the Cotton Bowl, fifty five to twenty Oklahoma over Florida. 531 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 3: Rough start to the season for Oklahoma going own two 532 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 3: in conference. They pull it together obviously as the year 533 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 3: goes on. They win their last eight games, including this one, 534 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 3: which was a straight up route if we're being fair. 535 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: Immediately we streamed me and Richard Johnson and I streamed 536 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 1: the first half of this game. Noted Florida Gator and 537 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: there was an experience for him. The Gators did pull 538 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:05,880 Speaker 1: within four at one point with about six minutes left 539 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 1: in the first half, but Oklahoma answered very quickly with 540 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 1: two touchdowns and had an eighteen point lead at the break. 541 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: It's worth noting. 542 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 3: That Kyle Trask was without his top four pass catchers, 543 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 3: and also that Kyle Trast didn't play after the opening 544 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 3: drive of the second half when they turned it over 545 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 3: to Emery Jones. 546 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 1: But he didn't have a great game. 547 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 3: He threw three picks, presumably his last as a college quarterback. 548 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 3: I don't think he's going to win the Heisman, but 549 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 3: he's obviously part of that ceremony given the season that 550 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 3: he had. 551 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: I was surprised by this. 552 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 3: I guess it's tempered a bit by the fact that 553 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 3: Florida was down so many guys, but I still expected 554 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 3: a little bit more fight than this. 555 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, the two of the three interceptions, I think they 556 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: were all in the first quarter, right we're on him. 557 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: I think the third was a tipped ball, lucky for Florida. 558 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: So Dan Mullen after the game declared that actually, actually 559 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 1: Florida had played their final game of the twenty twenty 560 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 1: season eleven. So I guess it doesn't count. Sorry, Oklahoma, 561 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: it doesn't count because Dan Mullen said so. Spencer Ratler 562 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: looked fantastic. Oklahoma looked really really good, a strong way 563 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: to finish the year. And whether or not Florida was 564 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: anywhere near capacity on their too deep both sides of 565 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: the ball. What what do good teams do? 566 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 2: Ty? 567 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 1: Do they take advantage? Do they make statements when when 568 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: given opportunities? I feel like they do they do so. 569 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if this means Oklahoma is winning a 570 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: playoff game next year. I don't know if this means 571 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 1: Oklahoma's shutting down everybody on defense in the Big Twelve 572 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 1: next year. But I know things are pretty together in 573 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: Norman and the future looks pretty bright with Spencer Rattler 574 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: so very very impressive from Oklahoma. And too bad Florida. 575 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: You're gonna have to give back all the money the 576 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 1: payout from this game because didn't happen. 577 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 3: Okay, moving on, Let's talk about another batch of games here. Yeah, 578 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 3: we had Wisconsin over Wake forty two to twenty eight 579 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 3: in the Duke's Mayo Bowl. 580 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: We had ball State an upset surprise Victor Oh. They 581 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 1: jumped on the Spartans who. 582 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 3: Twenty one points thirty four to thirteen over San Jose 583 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 3: State in the Arizona Bowl. 584 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: And can I make a recommendation, by the way, please, 585 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: this is just me as a college football consultant. Please 586 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: don't throw a pick six and follow it up with 587 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: three three and outs. Yeah, not the best way to 588 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,479 Speaker 1: go about football business. So still a really nice year 589 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 1: for San Jose State, but kudos to ball State made place. 590 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 3: And then there was the Mississippi State thing. Dan, Mississippi 591 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 3: State thing. Yeah, I know, groans all around the Armed 592 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 3: Forces Bowl. 593 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: This game we talked about Wisconsin Wake by the way, 594 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 1: that was the same day as the Cotton Bowl. 595 00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 2: It was. 596 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 3: But let me get this out of the way first. Okay, 597 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 3: please do the Mississippi State game. If you didn't see 598 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 3: the ending is what shaded the whole thing. On one side, 599 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 3: he had Mike Leach doing like crowdsert whatever the hell 600 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 3: he was doing without a mask on one side, and 601 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 3: on the entirely opposite side of the field, two teams 602 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 3: going to war with each other. This is a full 603 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 3: blown call. The cops kind of fight like they were 604 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 3: really going at it. Mississippi State wins twenty eight, twenty six. 605 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 3: Not a good look to end this bowl game. Just 606 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 3: one hundred and forty eight passing yards for Mississippi State, 607 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 3: which was a bit of a real twist here, but 608 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 3: they do get the w and the Armedforces ball. 609 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, the pick six won them the game. The pig. 610 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 1: They had a really nice defensive performance against Golden Hurricane. 611 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 1: I yeah, it was an ugly, ugly way to end 612 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 1: the game. Another ugly end of a season. Four Mississippi State, 613 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: different coach, same sort of taste left in your mouth 614 00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 1: with the way that the season ended. But luckily statesmen 615 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 1: and diplomat Mike Leach had incredibly insightful and wise things 616 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 1: to say after the game. And I'm just kidding. He 617 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 1: was the infant he's always been. He was definitely the 618 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: infant he's always been. Yeah, so good luck with him, 619 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: Mississippi State. 620 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 3: Don't think it's gonna end. Well, let's go over to 621 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 3: the Duke's Mail Bowl for a second. Yeah, Wisconsin had 622 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 3: two hundred and sixty six yards and forty two points. 623 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 1: You may ask, well, how'd that happen? Well, it happens 624 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: when you get a. 625 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 3: Couple plays, you get some nice kick returns, you get 626 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 3: a block kick, and also when your opponent throws interceptions 627 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 3: on four consecutive drives late. 628 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: In the game. Four of them, four of them. Yeah, 629 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: that will get you. As I tweeted out, that'll get you. 630 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 3: This was as close to quarterback yips as I've seen 631 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 3: in a long time. 632 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, and Sam Harmon doesn't throw picks. He doesn't throw 633 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 1: the picks super accurate. And he was really good in 634 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 1: this game. He was really good for THEE this game. 635 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 1: He was good. 636 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 3: If you watched that game. If you watch that game, 637 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 3: he looked so good throwing the football. He's got good receivers, 638 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 3: he's got. 639 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: Roberson. 640 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's got really good talent around him. He looked good. 641 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 3: But something happened. There was like some short circuit, some 642 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 3: yipsy in situation m hm at the end of the 643 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 3: third and into the fourth quarter where he just like 644 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 3: freaking lost it and was throwing it like crazy to Wisconsin. 645 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. No, it's it's a shame. It's a shame the 646 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: way that the rhythms of the game went in the 647 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: second half. Though, all do credit. Wisconsin's defense was very 648 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: good and jumped into those lanes, made plays. Wisconsin offenses 649 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: ways away still to me, I mean not being able 650 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 1: to run the ball. I know they were down at 651 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 1: least a couple starting offensive linemen it's it's like impossible 652 00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 1: to keep track at this point unless you just dedicate 653 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 1: a lot of time. I mean, we're going to win 654 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,479 Speaker 1: the off season to figuring out what the hell happened 655 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 1: this year. But yeah, the Wisconsin offense was I mean, 656 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 1: they scored points, they had shorter fields, they had opportunities, 657 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 1: but I still man, the playmakers or lack thereof is 658 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 1: very strange. I say this, they score forty and win 659 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,759 Speaker 1: the game by fourteen, but it's a team that's been 660 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,440 Speaker 1: led by their defense all season long. 661 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,919 Speaker 3: All right, three other games here, we had the Rest 662 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,720 Speaker 3: in Peace Mayo Bowl Trophy Rest in Peace Mayo Bowl Trophy, 663 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:34,840 Speaker 3: which shattered, Yeah, thank you, indeed. Liberty Bowl West Virginia 664 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 3: twenty four Army twenty one yo. Army led led with 665 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 3: five minutes left in this one, Dan West Virginia gets 666 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 3: a touchdown end up winning this one. 667 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 1: Late had the. 668 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:51,799 Speaker 3: Same score in the Peach Bowl Georgia twenty four Cincinnati 669 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 3: twenty one. Bit of a heartbreaker for Cincinnati, which we 670 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 3: can discuss here. 671 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 1: And then the Citrus Bowl. We had Northwestern score in 672 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:03,280 Speaker 1: thirty five points, yes, okay, thirty five to nineteen over 673 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 1: Auburn as they win in Orlando. Which of these three 674 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:11,840 Speaker 1: games jumped out the most of you. I guess Cincinnati Georgia, 675 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,919 Speaker 1: just in terms of Cincinnati going undefeated and Georgia making 676 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 1: the quarterback change and looking a lot more impressive on offense. Quickly, though, 677 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,879 Speaker 1: West Virginia did a good job about lasting Army. Army 678 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 1: has been led by their defense, much like the Ears. 679 00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 1: So you know West Virginia being able to overcome the 680 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,439 Speaker 1: turnovers and not being able to move the ball all 681 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 1: that off and just I would say a gutty win 682 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 1: did a good job on defense against Army. So agree. 683 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 1: I came away impressed by that because again, Army's defense 684 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 1: has been very, very strong this year. What was the 685 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:50,239 Speaker 1: third game you mentioned? Northwestern thirty five, Auburn nineteen. Yeah, 686 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,439 Speaker 1: Auburn just not being able to run the ball at 687 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,919 Speaker 1: all down offensive lineman. No Tank Bigsby, correct, no Tank 688 00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 1: bigs Be. This was the game that I say at 689 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: the top, it was better than I expected. The score 690 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:06,920 Speaker 1: doesn't really show it. Okay, Auburn was on its heels early, 691 00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,360 Speaker 1: they played better, they came back. This is a fourteen 692 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 1: to thirteen game. Yeah, until late in the third quarter, 693 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,400 Speaker 1: but then Peyton Ramsey runs in a long one for 694 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:16,759 Speaker 1: a score. 695 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,279 Speaker 3: I think it was like a thirty yarder. Northwestern got 696 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,239 Speaker 3: a big stop on fourth and one. Then they add 697 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 3: another touchdown, then they recover a fumble, so it it 698 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,840 Speaker 3: came off the swivel very quickly for Auburn. 699 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 1: This is a good game. 700 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,319 Speaker 3: Both quarterbacks I thought, looked really good. Peyton Ramsey had 701 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,360 Speaker 3: what like close to three hundred yards, It had three touchdowns. 702 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 3: Bo Nickson pretty good. This is this is a much 703 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,600 Speaker 3: much better game than I expected. So I was glad 704 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:40,360 Speaker 3: to see it because I think I groaned when we 705 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 3: did the preview. 706 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:42,880 Speaker 1: I'm not interested in this game. 707 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 3: I'm glad I had the opportunity to watch because it 708 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,800 Speaker 3: actually ended up being a lot more fun than I expected. 709 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, both quarterbacks were pretty sharp, all things considered with 710 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 1: the guys that they were missing or guys that are 711 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 1: usually that whatever. Yeah, just a really strong year for 712 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,839 Speaker 1: Northwestern considering where they were in twenty nineteen. The final 713 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,480 Speaker 1: game of Mike Hankwitz, who did a phenomenal job there 714 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 1: for for a long long time as their defensive coordinator 715 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:10,480 Speaker 1: and New Mexico's most dangerous meth dealer. I love the 716 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 1: luck I love the luck and Auburn moving forward now 717 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,800 Speaker 1: with Brian Harson. So all things considered, it seems pretty 718 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,440 Speaker 1: impossible to compete when you're sort of in limbo between 719 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,040 Speaker 1: coaches and the Tigers did it for a good chunk 720 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,440 Speaker 1: of this game until as you mentioned, the wheels just 721 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,000 Speaker 1: sort of came off good for for Northwestern finishing the 722 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,520 Speaker 1: year as a top fifteen team, and you know it's 723 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 1: it's a pretty I mean, Iowa fits it, but otherwise 724 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:39,160 Speaker 1: a pretty unstable Big ten West and Northwestern. Oh, that 725 00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,719 Speaker 1: boat with the fewest leaky. 726 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:47,160 Speaker 3: Patches, I think that's right. Did not catch any references 727 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:51,640 Speaker 3: to Pat Fitzgerald as an NFL candidate, which is one 728 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:52,640 Speaker 3: of our winter wonders. 729 00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:54,080 Speaker 1: Tough beat we did have. 730 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,320 Speaker 3: We did have the picture of Sam Ellinger as a 731 00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,880 Speaker 3: kid wearing Texas gear, though that one's mandatory. 732 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:00,439 Speaker 1: How many, I think there's law. 733 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:04,280 Speaker 3: How many PlayStation references were there in the Fiesta. 734 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:07,239 Speaker 1: Bowl A ton so I in the first half I 735 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,520 Speaker 1: had the sound on, but I wasn't paying particularly close 736 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 1: attention because I was doing the stream. Second half, not 737 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 1: as many as I would have expected. I think we 738 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,960 Speaker 1: might have hit the under there. Yeah, I mean it 739 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 1: doesn't count if they just say PlayStation Fiesta Bowl. Now, 740 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 1: it's got to be PlayStation five. That was the PlayStation five. References, 741 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 1: many more references to Mike Golick's final broadcast on ESPN 742 00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:31,840 Speaker 1: in this one. All right, well, we'll talk about that 743 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:32,360 Speaker 1: in the second. 744 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:33,920 Speaker 3: But I did want to close the loop on the 745 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:38,760 Speaker 3: Peach Bowl heartbreakway for Cincinnati. Here Georgia drills a fifty 746 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:42,400 Speaker 3: three yarder with just three seconds left. They took the 747 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 3: lead on that. They add two more points on a 748 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:46,920 Speaker 3: safety on the final play of the game to make 749 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,680 Speaker 3: it twenty four to twenty one. Georgia was down twenty 750 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:54,239 Speaker 3: one to ten. Fourth quarter, the defense really stepped up 751 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 3: some curious clock management, if I'm being honest, from rough 752 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,720 Speaker 3: end of this game, little bit of Lake game games, 753 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:03,560 Speaker 3: a little bit of Lake game James. 754 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:07,800 Speaker 1: Franklin going on right on the Cincinnati side. 755 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,359 Speaker 3: I thought Cincinnati quitted itself very well in this football game. 756 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:13,920 Speaker 3: I thought they were going to win. They were good 757 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,839 Speaker 3: enough to win. Georgia averaged one point nine yards per 758 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:19,360 Speaker 3: rush on twenty four carries. 759 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:20,120 Speaker 1: JT. 760 00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,919 Speaker 3: Daniels had a pretty good game, but had moments where 761 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:27,279 Speaker 3: it was like, Okay, what's going on here. What were 762 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,160 Speaker 3: your thoughts on this game, because I came away feeling 763 00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:34,920 Speaker 3: like I knew Georgia was more talented athletically speaking, but 764 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,600 Speaker 3: that Cincinnati by and large played the better game, should 765 00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,080 Speaker 3: have won, but found a way to blow it at 766 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:39,399 Speaker 3: the end. 767 00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,600 Speaker 1: Yes, and no, I mean Cincinnati at one point talked 768 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,120 Speaker 1: about this a little bit, I think on the stream. 769 00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:46,880 Speaker 1: But they had the long run from Drome Ford the 770 00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:48,880 Speaker 1: Alabama transfer in the second half, it was like a 771 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 1: seventy nine yard run and otherwise basically did nothing on 772 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 1: offense in the second half. They took advantage of opportunities 773 00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,720 Speaker 1: in the first half, including JT. Daniels throwing a pretty 774 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,640 Speaker 1: bad pick in the end zone. So Georgia certainly left 775 00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 1: points on the board, but it was also Cincinnati making 776 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,080 Speaker 1: plays they weren't doing much in the past game. You know, 777 00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,760 Speaker 1: desmon Ritter unable to really go downfield too much against 778 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,920 Speaker 1: a still very very good Georgia defense with you know, 779 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 1: working in different personnelity, linebackers out, whatever. But they're they're 780 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,640 Speaker 1: deep enough that you can't use that as much of 781 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:24,239 Speaker 1: an excuse because the youth at Georgia are still incredible, 782 00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,600 Speaker 1: very very so. Yeah, Cincinnati took advantage of opportunities, which 783 00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,879 Speaker 1: is what very very good teams do. I was disappointed, though, 784 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:34,120 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, just because there's much more on the 785 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,400 Speaker 1: line for Cincinnati here right to just to make that 786 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,640 Speaker 1: to get that statement win against a Power five power 787 00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:41,799 Speaker 1: A team recruiting as strongly as it does, you know, 788 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:45,680 Speaker 1: and even though Georgia had a very off year, I 789 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 1: would say, considering where the quarterback position landed in a 790 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:53,680 Speaker 1: strange year for everybody, I just did the lack of 791 00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 1: aggression from Luke Fickle and the offensive staff for Cincinnati, 792 00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,680 Speaker 1: and the lack of aggression from Kirby Smart and Todd 793 00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:06,120 Speaker 1: munkin just having the ball with the opportunity to punctuate 794 00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:10,839 Speaker 1: a win at midfield on fourth and short ish and 795 00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:14,919 Speaker 1: just playing punts and counting on your defense. It works 796 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:16,680 Speaker 1: until it doesn't. And it was just going to be 797 00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:18,920 Speaker 1: a matter of who made that mistake, and ultimately it 798 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,400 Speaker 1: was Cincinnati. I just, you know, with the ball in 799 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,759 Speaker 1: your hands to be able to win this game, to 800 00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,160 Speaker 1: punt it back, I don't like it. I just that's 801 00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:27,880 Speaker 1: where I stand as a football fan. That is my 802 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:31,480 Speaker 1: preference for offensive aggression, and it's always going to be 803 00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:33,720 Speaker 1: a lose lose for a team like Georgia beat Cincinnati, 804 00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:35,759 Speaker 1: and you beat an American team, lose to Cincinnati, you 805 00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:39,279 Speaker 1: lost to an American team, So what So you know 806 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,160 Speaker 1: it's it's the boot of what's pod Lesnie? Who was 807 00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:43,960 Speaker 1: the one that kicked the game winning field goal? Yep, 808 00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,520 Speaker 1: the boot of pod Lesnie. The impressive play from young 809 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:52,960 Speaker 1: Georgia defenders taking advantage of opportunities for Cincinnati on offense, 810 00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:57,359 Speaker 1: especially on the ground. And I suppose, I mean, because 811 00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,640 Speaker 1: I wasn't that impressed with Georgia on the ground. I 812 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,440 Speaker 1: know they were without James Cook, but even still just 813 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,960 Speaker 1: didn't look like themselves and didn't really hit their ceiling. 814 00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,920 Speaker 1: But I do credit Cincinnati's defense there because their defense 815 00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,880 Speaker 1: was all over the friggin place, really really strong defense 816 00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:14,600 Speaker 1: to watch. Yeah, so agree, I thought Cincinnati left it. 817 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:18,319 Speaker 1: I thought Cincinnati, even with their pretty poor second half offensively, 818 00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:21,279 Speaker 1: I think you just got to you gotta put your 819 00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,200 Speaker 1: blinders on and you just got to go. And you know, 820 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,759 Speaker 1: when you show that hesitation, that's when you tend to 821 00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,960 Speaker 1: lose against teams as talented as Georgia is. But they 822 00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,279 Speaker 1: had a chance, you know, they did. They had a 823 00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:34,279 Speaker 1: twenty one ten. 824 00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:37,160 Speaker 3: Should have put that game on ice, but couldn't do it. 825 00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:41,040 Speaker 3: All right, credit to Georgia for doing it, had to do. Yeah, 826 00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:45,880 Speaker 3: and George Pickens is just really good, really good, a joy. 827 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,000 Speaker 1: He's a joy, and you know what we haven't had. 828 00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,240 Speaker 1: He's a personality. He's ridiculous. He makes plays that basically 829 00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,200 Speaker 1: only like four and a half other receivers in the 830 00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,759 Speaker 1: country can make. I just he's a good TV show. 831 00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:57,879 Speaker 3: To me, he's a He's a good TV show, and 832 00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,279 Speaker 3: we just haven't got a chance to see enough of 833 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:01,959 Speaker 3: him this year. 834 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,480 Speaker 1: Yeah. And JT. Daniels was the full offseason. I mean, 835 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,160 Speaker 1: he goes for almost four hundred yards in this game. 836 00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,600 Speaker 1: We're probably under selling what JT. Daniels is able to 837 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,960 Speaker 1: do against this really good Cincinnati defense. But yeah, George 838 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:14,360 Speaker 1: Pagan's ooh fun. 839 00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:18,239 Speaker 3: Last four games we had the Gator Bowl Kentucky twenty three, 840 00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,839 Speaker 3: NC State twenty one. I think that line was two 841 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,600 Speaker 3: and a half in favor of Kentucky, so right on 842 00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:28,040 Speaker 3: the number there all missed twenty six, Indiana twenty in 843 00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:33,400 Speaker 3: the Outback Bowl, Iowa State thirty four, Oregon seventeen in 844 00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:38,520 Speaker 3: the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl and Texas A and M closing 845 00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:42,400 Speaker 3: out against North Carolina forty one to twenty seven in 846 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:43,960 Speaker 3: the game last evening. 847 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,240 Speaker 1: We're recording this on Sunday the third. 848 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:48,799 Speaker 3: Let me start with the Gator Bowl. This is the 849 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,400 Speaker 3: game that I opted out of. I went back on 850 00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:56,280 Speaker 3: the rewatch and look better game than I thought. Again, 851 00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:01,160 Speaker 3: better game than I thought. Kentucky's going to run the ball. 852 00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,360 Speaker 3: Their running team, that's what they do. They ran the 853 00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:05,799 Speaker 3: crap out of the ball. They didn't even have one 854 00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,960 Speaker 3: hundred yards passing, but they rushed it forty eight times 855 00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,440 Speaker 3: for two hundred and eighty one yards and two touchdowns, 856 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:15,680 Speaker 3: led by a Seamrose and Christopher Rodriguez. Yeah, heard that 857 00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:19,480 Speaker 3: a thousand times. But again, that's what Kentucky does. They 858 00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:22,359 Speaker 3: did a good job here and they had the lead 859 00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,319 Speaker 3: for the entire game. Had the lead for the entire game. 860 00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:27,560 Speaker 3: Even though there were points in this game where NC 861 00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:29,920 Speaker 3: State pulled a little tighter, they had the lead for 862 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:31,960 Speaker 3: the entire time. I never really felt like the game 863 00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:35,640 Speaker 3: was that much in doubt. Bailly Hawk beIN good to 864 00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,359 Speaker 3: an extent, had three picks which really killed him here. 865 00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not going to play devorjak here. But you 866 00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,000 Speaker 1: know NC State coming out of the gate against I mean, 867 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:45,799 Speaker 1: you're right, it's you know, stop me if you've heard 868 00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:49,040 Speaker 1: this one. Kentucky won with running the ball in defense, 869 00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:53,920 Speaker 1: but out of the gate it was interception, punt, punt, 870 00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,959 Speaker 1: missed field goal, end of half, miss field goal before 871 00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:00,719 Speaker 1: finding the end zone into the third quarter. So you're right, 872 00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:02,440 Speaker 1: I mean it was. It was still an impressive year 873 00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,440 Speaker 1: from NC State, and especially with Kentucky parting ways with 874 00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:09,080 Speaker 1: Eddie Grand their offensive coordinator, to come out and just 875 00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:15,360 Speaker 1: trounce trowns NC State by scoring twenty three points. Impressive 876 00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:18,560 Speaker 1: for Kentucky. Good way to finish the year. Excited to 877 00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:21,040 Speaker 1: see what I think it's Liam Cohen, the younger coordinator 878 00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:24,080 Speaker 1: they hired away from the LA Rams taking over. Excited 879 00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:27,840 Speaker 1: to see if we get some new wizardry from the 880 00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:31,120 Speaker 1: word a Kentucky offense that's been lacking it. 881 00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:36,480 Speaker 3: In the Outback Bowl Ole Miss twenty six twenty we 882 00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:39,799 Speaker 3: found out that Lian Kiffin got an extension. They like 883 00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:44,520 Speaker 3: the innovative stuff that he's done. Dan who knew hard. 884 00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:46,520 Speaker 1: I mean the heights of Ole Miss this year were 885 00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:49,520 Speaker 1: very entertaining, very entertaining that Corral was fun to watch 886 00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:50,040 Speaker 1: in this game. 887 00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:55,080 Speaker 3: John Reeve Plumbley slot receiver. Yeah, they play five five 888 00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:56,920 Speaker 3: for seventy three for John Reese Plumbley. 889 00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:05,680 Speaker 1: Jack Tuttle was okay for Indiana, I know, okay, Oh 890 00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:09,400 Speaker 1: he's okay. Not their starter, not their starter. Yeah. 891 00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:12,080 Speaker 3: He did get the ball to wop Filure eighteen times 892 00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:16,440 Speaker 3: for eighty one yards, which is impressive as it goes 893 00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:21,239 Speaker 3: with receiving lines. Eighteen carries, eighteen catches. Excuse me, is 894 00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:21,760 Speaker 3: is a number? 895 00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,279 Speaker 1: Oh well, hold on, hold on, hold on, doesn't this 896 00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:27,200 Speaker 1: fall under my fil Drikovic seven cars worth a combined 897 00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:31,400 Speaker 1: eight thousand dollars. Though, eighteen catches for eighty one yards, 898 00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:36,680 Speaker 1: it's impressive that his hands caught the ball that many times. 899 00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:43,080 Speaker 1: His long was fourteen yards, right, So yes and no, 900 00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:47,000 Speaker 1: yes and no. Yeah, I mean just so we not 901 00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:50,000 Speaker 1: able to do itches all that often. Yeah, it seemed 902 00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:54,000 Speaker 1: Indiana's best plays downfield largely were as a result of PI. 903 00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,160 Speaker 1: It was a lot of launching and hoping for the 904 00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:59,880 Speaker 1: best and the Jane Coast and LPI offense. But yeah, 905 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:01,960 Speaker 1: it was you know, your guys. Stevie Scott was pretty 906 00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:06,040 Speaker 1: good boy, for Indiana, but yeah, it was more Matt 907 00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,880 Speaker 1: corral Snoop Connor had a really nice touchdown run. Because 908 00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:10,680 Speaker 1: this was also I mean we mentioned in the preview 909 00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:12,920 Speaker 1: an Old Miss team that was down a bunch of 910 00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:14,759 Speaker 1: and yes, I know Indiana was down Michael Pennix, that 911 00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:18,279 Speaker 1: is the most important dude on their offense. But for 912 00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:23,879 Speaker 1: Ole Miss without Elijah Moore, without Kenny Eboa, without what's 913 00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,320 Speaker 1: his name, the running back whose name I'm now fiercely 914 00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:30,239 Speaker 1: forgetting because I love watching him. Jerry and Eely excuse me, 915 00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:35,239 Speaker 1: and yeah, I mean he plays for Mississippi States. That's 916 00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:37,759 Speaker 1: just insulting at this point. But Jerry and Ely I 917 00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:41,800 Speaker 1: jumped the gun. It's okay, It's close, but very insulting. 918 00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:48,480 Speaker 1: Now obviously to Ole Miss fans everywhere, I hope it 919 00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:50,640 Speaker 1: means good things. I mean that means people are believing 920 00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,839 Speaker 1: on that roster and Lane Kiffin without those top playmakers 921 00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,239 Speaker 1: and the next guy up, thing worked really well. It 922 00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:59,360 Speaker 1: was what Ontario Drummond, Yeah, the guy who was making 923 00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,840 Speaker 1: plays ahead of John Reese plumbley there. So no, I 924 00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:04,799 Speaker 1: really enjoyed watching this and in the end it didn't 925 00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,200 Speaker 1: get into the end zone until what third fourth quarter 926 00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:09,319 Speaker 1: like it was actually the ole Miss defense, which has 927 00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:14,040 Speaker 1: been horrendous, making plays, make it plays. Twenty six to 928 00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:15,000 Speaker 1: twenty your final score. 929 00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:19,239 Speaker 3: Let's talk about Oregon, Dan, let's do it. Only one 930 00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,359 Speaker 3: member of this broadcasting duo roots for a team that 931 00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:23,560 Speaker 3: was recently able to. 932 00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:27,200 Speaker 1: Knock off Iowa State, and it's not you. I'm telling you, Ty, 933 00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:28,839 Speaker 1: you got something going here. 934 00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,920 Speaker 3: I got something going This is not a good showing 935 00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:37,520 Speaker 3: by Oregon. No four turnovers, zero for six on third down. 936 00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:42,640 Speaker 3: They lost the time of possession battle forty two minutes 937 00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:48,120 Speaker 3: to seventeen minutes. It was not a fun game for 938 00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:51,680 Speaker 3: me to watch. I can't imagine it was. I can't 939 00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,080 Speaker 3: imagine it wasn't a fun game for me either. Oregon 940 00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:57,920 Speaker 3: scored all seventeen of its points in the first half, 941 00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:00,880 Speaker 3: for what it's worth, Iowa States or twenty eight of 942 00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:02,799 Speaker 3: its thirty four in the first half as well. But 943 00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:05,600 Speaker 3: there's a lot of exchange going back and forth there, 944 00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:10,520 Speaker 3: especially in the second quarter again, thirty four to seventeen 945 00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:13,759 Speaker 3: year final. Give me your thoughts, heyday, you did the 946 00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:17,480 Speaker 3: stream with Jeff. I saw some folks talking through in 947 00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:21,000 Speaker 3: our discord about how they enjoyed you both just playing fan, 948 00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:24,920 Speaker 3: not playing analysts, but playing fan on the live stets. 949 00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:28,359 Speaker 3: What was it like being a fan as your team 950 00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:31,239 Speaker 3: was losing pretty handily to Iowa State. 951 00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:35,160 Speaker 1: The way in which they lost was essentially the worst 952 00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,560 Speaker 1: way as a fan to watch your team lose. But 953 00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:42,560 Speaker 1: I came away impressed with Iowa State more than anything, 954 00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,359 Speaker 1: because this was not an Oregon team I expected much from. 955 00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,200 Speaker 1: I know, I picked Oregon to win this game because 956 00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:50,319 Speaker 1: of how well they looked on defense against USC. But 957 00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:53,560 Speaker 1: more than anything in this game, it's Iowa State is 958 00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:56,759 Speaker 1: not particularly explosive on offense. You know, they lean on 959 00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:59,040 Speaker 1: Breise Hall to grind out tough yards. They lean on 960 00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,880 Speaker 1: a couple tight ends to make plays and bigger moments. 961 00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,680 Speaker 1: You know, Chess Coler We've raved about on this show. 962 00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:08,239 Speaker 1: But Rock Purty made throws. They didn't make mistakes, and 963 00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:10,960 Speaker 1: they took advantage of a number of Oregon mistakes, which 964 00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,239 Speaker 1: is what very strong teams do, which Iowa State, for 965 00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:17,359 Speaker 1: all of their deficiencies, especially early on with special teams 966 00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:20,879 Speaker 1: against Louisiana, kind of poetic to close the year out 967 00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:25,080 Speaker 1: taking advantage of Oregon's special teams mistakes, which includes a 968 00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:29,080 Speaker 1: weird pooch kick that bounced away from Oregon and to 969 00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:33,840 Speaker 1: Iowa State a couple dozen yards downfield, Oregon touching a 970 00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:39,400 Speaker 1: punt incidentally, and Iowa State recovering a couple fumbles interception. 971 00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:43,479 Speaker 1: And I don't want it to sound like excuse making 972 00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:47,600 Speaker 1: as an organ fan, because I've long held one Iowa 973 00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:51,280 Speaker 1: State's really good and two really good teams take advantage 974 00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:53,840 Speaker 1: of the other team's mistakes. And Iowa State put together 975 00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:56,840 Speaker 1: like a twenty play drive for a touchdown. They finished 976 00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,640 Speaker 1: their drives, they came through on third and fourth down, 977 00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:03,399 Speaker 1: they made plays in the second half. And while it's 978 00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:06,480 Speaker 1: not a again not a particularly flashy offense to watch, 979 00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:10,040 Speaker 1: there's an identity to Iowa State, and so to beat 980 00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:13,040 Speaker 1: a team like Oregon with the first time our program 981 00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,400 Speaker 1: like Oregon, I don't think this team is all that impressive, 982 00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:17,360 Speaker 1: but the program certainly has been in these big moments. 983 00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:20,160 Speaker 1: Iowa State on this stage for the first time, to 984 00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:24,120 Speaker 1: beat a program like Oregon by seventeen dance at oup 985 00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:28,799 Speaker 1: clones really nice punctuation on an impressive year, and hope 986 00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,440 Speaker 1: they're able to build on it. With Matt Campbell seemingly 987 00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:33,719 Speaker 1: coming back, even though his name seems to be in 988 00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:36,799 Speaker 1: those conversations for open jobs. Matt Campbell looks like he'll 989 00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:39,120 Speaker 1: be back, which is great for Campbell, great for Iowa State, 990 00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:42,320 Speaker 1: and again hope they build on it. By yeah, Oregon, 991 00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:46,120 Speaker 1: you know they made They were shuffling both Tyler Shuck 992 00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:49,200 Speaker 1: and Anthony Brown. Anthony Brown looked stronger, but he himself 993 00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:52,440 Speaker 1: made some mistakes. They ran the ball relatively well, but 994 00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:55,280 Speaker 1: it was the defense that that really was impressive for Oregon. 995 00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:57,520 Speaker 1: They held Iowa State down in the second half, but 996 00:51:57,560 --> 00:51:59,440 Speaker 1: they just couldn't get off the field. I mean, if 997 00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:01,279 Speaker 1: you look at the offensive numbers, Aregona had a much 998 00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:05,680 Speaker 1: better day offensively, but you know, Rock Purty was happy 999 00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:09,560 Speaker 1: to just keep Nickel and diamond and to the tune 1000 00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:12,040 Speaker 1: of a seventeen point win, how do you complain? Move 1001 00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:13,160 Speaker 1: for the Clones. 1002 00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:17,080 Speaker 3: Thirty four to seventeen year final and finally A and 1003 00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:19,839 Speaker 3: M wins forty one to twenty seven. 1004 00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:21,760 Speaker 1: This is a good game. This is a fun game. 1005 00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:22,560 Speaker 1: Most of the. 1006 00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:28,160 Speaker 3: Way last ten minutes of this football game is really 1007 00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:31,160 Speaker 3: when A and M asserted itself. That's probably how fair 1008 00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:33,040 Speaker 3: to say. I would say pretty much most of the 1009 00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:36,720 Speaker 3: fourth quarter is when we saw A and M asserting itself. 1010 00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:41,120 Speaker 3: This was a twenty seven to twenty seven game, you know, 1011 00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:44,000 Speaker 3: late into the football game, but we had A and 1012 00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:47,239 Speaker 3: M basically scoring on what. 1013 00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:50,400 Speaker 1: Three was it three. 1014 00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:53,360 Speaker 3: Consecutive drives or close to three consecutive drives three times 1015 00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:55,439 Speaker 3: at least four times if you count the field goal 1016 00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:58,759 Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter. The last three touchdowns of the game. 1017 00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:01,960 Speaker 3: We had Kellen On making some big plays with some 1018 00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:05,640 Speaker 3: big plays of the running game for the Aggies here. Yeah, 1019 00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:08,120 Speaker 3: this was a game where if you followed along on Twitter, 1020 00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:11,480 Speaker 3: you had a lot of folks saying this team thought 1021 00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:14,239 Speaker 3: it could be in the playoff and they're struggling with 1022 00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:17,879 Speaker 3: a hollowed out North Carolina team. And for a chunk 1023 00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,680 Speaker 3: of this game, they did struggle to some extent with 1024 00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:23,760 Speaker 3: they hollowed out North Carolina team, but to their credit, 1025 00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:26,520 Speaker 3: they pulled it together down the stretch. I thought the 1026 00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:30,080 Speaker 3: way they closed this game was pretty damn impressive, So 1027 00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:33,319 Speaker 3: kudos to them. Kudos to Jimbo Fisher. We know he's 1028 00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:36,640 Speaker 3: trying to build something at College Station and this was. 1029 00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:37,560 Speaker 1: A good game for them. 1030 00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:40,000 Speaker 3: We also got to see some of the youth movement 1031 00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:43,399 Speaker 3: on the UNC side. Tony Grimes, a cornerback that we've 1032 00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:45,560 Speaker 3: talked about here and there, had a pretty good game. 1033 00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:47,239 Speaker 1: For the other part too. 1034 00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:49,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, Josh Downs, I think it's going to be 1035 00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:53,600 Speaker 3: a problem. He's got incredible speed and we saw him 1036 00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:56,399 Speaker 3: with two touchdowns in this football game. Daz knew Something 1037 00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,719 Speaker 3: had a really nice catch at a touchdown on his own. 1038 00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:03,160 Speaker 3: Sam Howeans a certified dude, right. He made some big 1039 00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:05,480 Speaker 3: throws in this game, and no doubt was gonna end 1040 00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:07,200 Speaker 3: up being a high draft pick at some point. So 1041 00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:09,799 Speaker 3: a lot to build on on both fronts. But A 1042 00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:11,719 Speaker 3: and M does get the w here by fourteen. 1043 00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:16,160 Speaker 1: Yes, and A and M generally needed four full quarters 1044 00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:18,319 Speaker 1: against a lot of the teams they played this year, 1045 00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:20,440 Speaker 1: which is fine because if you can close strong like 1046 00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:23,839 Speaker 1: they did against North Carolina, it works out well. And 1047 00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:26,960 Speaker 1: I was I was impressed with Kellen Mond, was Devin 1048 00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:30,160 Speaker 1: at Shane at Chain who had the long touchdown run late. 1049 00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:33,320 Speaker 1: I'm impressed with all sorts of elements. And North Carolina 1050 00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:36,120 Speaker 1: actually got after Kellen Mond early impressively, something that they 1051 00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:41,080 Speaker 1: weren't always doing all year long. But I have what 1052 00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:45,040 Speaker 1: I might consider to be a dangerous crush on a Niasmith. 1053 00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:49,200 Speaker 1: I can't watch I can't wait to wat him play 1054 00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:52,959 Speaker 1: football again. Yeah, Like we talked about A and m's 1055 00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:56,440 Speaker 1: because of injuries and opt outs, what the receiver group 1056 00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:58,600 Speaker 1: isn't what we thought it would be during the off season, 1057 00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:02,080 Speaker 1: and he got carries. He lined up all over the 1058 00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:05,720 Speaker 1: field and was impressive all year long. But on this stage, 1059 00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:08,719 Speaker 1: and not that North Carolina's defense is anything spectacular, but 1060 00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:12,279 Speaker 1: to show out like he did, I think it's more 1061 00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:14,880 Speaker 1: of a I can't wait to see what he does 1062 00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:19,120 Speaker 1: with the rest of his career the station because yeah, 1063 00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:22,160 Speaker 1: now we're talking now in an upper level SEC weapon 1064 00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:25,680 Speaker 1: and that's it's fun as a fan when you are 1065 00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:29,040 Speaker 1: giddy about what's what's to come. So I'm excited as 1066 00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:32,239 Speaker 1: just a college football fantasy how he's weaponized at A 1067 00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:35,239 Speaker 1: and M moving forward. So yeah, really nice win on 1068 00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:38,959 Speaker 1: the ground especially, but made plays and you know Sam 1069 00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:42,280 Speaker 1: Howell and once again you're right, he's just he really 1070 00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:44,440 Speaker 1: Like it hurts me to say it, ty, but he 1071 00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:49,759 Speaker 1: does have at Baker Mayfield do a little bit. There 1072 00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:51,920 Speaker 1: is that scrap to him. Yeah, and a terrific beard. 1073 00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:54,759 Speaker 1: It's an l Borland quality coming in nicely. Yeah, coming 1074 00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:58,000 Speaker 1: in very nicely, and neither one of us can do that. No, no, 1075 00:55:59,200 --> 00:55:59,759 Speaker 1: and that does it. 1076 00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:04,040 Speaker 3: I think that's gotten us up to date here now 1077 00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:08,160 Speaker 3: on Bowl season. So for those of you Patreon subscribers 1078 00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:10,399 Speaker 3: who are out there who played in the Winter Wonders game, 1079 00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:14,400 Speaker 3: you will see the leaderboard update shortly. I have to 1080 00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:18,360 Speaker 3: send in the results of our special Fantasy Things style 1081 00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:21,640 Speaker 3: prop bets that we had on there. Only a couple 1082 00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:24,919 Speaker 3: of them hit, but I've got a listing. I will 1083 00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:28,319 Speaker 3: send that out and hopefully the leaderboard will update very 1084 00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:33,360 Speaker 3: very shortly. Also, as we've mentioned a couple times here, 1085 00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:36,680 Speaker 3: we are going to be doing a live stream throughout 1086 00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:39,680 Speaker 3: the course of that National Championship on January the eleventh. 1087 00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:40,960 Speaker 3: We're going to do our best to bring in some 1088 00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:44,719 Speaker 3: guests as Ohio State and Alabama take the field. We 1089 00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:48,200 Speaker 3: will have more info on that one to come for sure, 1090 00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:53,120 Speaker 3: so do stay tuned. I also was able to convert 1091 00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:57,440 Speaker 3: over that Sarctober file into an MP three. 1092 00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:01,480 Speaker 1: I have not heard this in years. Okay, I'm ready. 1093 00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:04,239 Speaker 3: I don't know what this sounds like. So this is 1094 00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:05,960 Speaker 3: the first but let's let's have a listen. 1095 00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:17,920 Speaker 2: Stober, can you say seven wins? Here we go again October. 1096 00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:20,200 Speaker 1: Little Moon River quality to it. Moon River shout out 1097 00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:25,160 Speaker 1: Andy Williams, long time verballer, So bring it back. By 1098 00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:28,280 Speaker 1: the way, you mentioned Pat Fitzgerald and NFL head coaching 1099 00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:32,280 Speaker 1: potential open to interviews. I saw Adam Schefter open to interviews. 1100 00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:35,080 Speaker 1: Adam Schefter said thirty four minutes ago. Ryan Day apparently 1101 00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:39,160 Speaker 1: is not because his name came up with in conjunction 1102 00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:41,920 Speaker 1: to the Jaguars job in the NFL, not South Alabama 1103 00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:46,360 Speaker 1: and Urban Meyer apparently in the mix with the Jacksonville Jaguars, 1104 00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:49,200 Speaker 1: and I think they have number one overall pick, right. 1105 00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:51,480 Speaker 3: They have the number one overall pick, presumed to be 1106 00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:55,600 Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence, right, and that is they fired their GM 1107 00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:58,960 Speaker 3: as well. So not only is that a hot cody 1108 00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:01,400 Speaker 3: in the GM world because you get to pick Trevor Lawrence, 1109 00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:04,360 Speaker 3: but also in the coaching world, especially if your a 1110 00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:06,120 Speaker 3: guy like an Urban Meyer, we can go in. You 1111 00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:09,200 Speaker 3: can start with your quarterback, especially so you might maybe 1112 00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:12,640 Speaker 3: start with personnel power as well. Personnel power, Yeah, who 1113 00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:16,040 Speaker 3: knows what Urban would command if he went down there, 1114 00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:19,280 Speaker 3: But it is looking I think increasingly likely that he's 1115 00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:24,360 Speaker 3: going to take that role and Jacksonville. Given the circumstance 1116 00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:27,040 Speaker 3: being able to pick Trevor Lawrence, I think that's you know, 1117 00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:29,720 Speaker 3: they've got some young talent on defense, at least to 1118 00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:32,680 Speaker 3: the extent that I know the NFL. So you would 1119 00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:36,040 Speaker 3: think that that's a promising start for urban Meyer at 1120 00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:38,000 Speaker 3: the next level if he would choose to go in 1121 00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:38,480 Speaker 3: that direction. 1122 00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:47,000 Speaker 1: Texas has a new coach, and I want your thoughts. Well, 1123 00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:52,640 Speaker 1: we mentioned briefly that Sark is taking over. Well, first 1124 00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:54,080 Speaker 1: give me your Herman thoughts and then give me your 1125 00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:56,840 Speaker 1: Sark thoughts, and just your thoughts about the process of 1126 00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:57,480 Speaker 1: it all. 1127 00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:01,680 Speaker 3: My Herman thoughts and my Sark thoughts are I think 1128 00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:06,680 Speaker 3: joined at the hip. Okay, I'm surprised that Sarks has 1129 00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:10,760 Speaker 3: done a really good job at Bama, And no matter 1130 00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:13,160 Speaker 3: who you talk to what you read, everyone says that 1131 00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:16,280 Speaker 3: he's learned a lot and matured a lot since some 1132 00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:19,080 Speaker 3: of his previous struggles, and that he is primed for 1133 00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:22,480 Speaker 3: a big opportunity like this like that. Congratulations to him 1134 00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:25,600 Speaker 3: on getting this Texas job. It just struck me as 1135 00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:31,000 Speaker 3: odd that Texas would see Sark as that big of 1136 00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:33,920 Speaker 3: an upgrade over Herman that they would choose to pay 1137 00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:37,680 Speaker 3: out fifteen potentially twenty four million dollars to be rid 1138 00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:42,160 Speaker 3: of the previous system and bring Sark in. Now, if 1139 00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:44,400 Speaker 3: reports are to be believed, part of the war of 1140 00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:48,360 Speaker 3: a Sark was that he could attract, you know, other 1141 00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:52,960 Speaker 3: assistants who are exciting to have on that top, a 1142 00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:55,000 Speaker 3: guy like a mush Champ, Right, he might be Herman 1143 00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:56,040 Speaker 3: did that, but. 1144 00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:58,680 Speaker 1: Herman did that too, That's my point. So Herman did that, well, 1145 00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:00,560 Speaker 1: he got a year, He got a year with Mike 1146 01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:03,160 Speaker 1: Y're sick and Chris Sash. 1147 01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:07,280 Speaker 3: I was just my thought is I was surprised first 1148 01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:11,160 Speaker 3: off that they would make this call as late as 1149 01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:13,760 Speaker 3: they did. Maybe there is a recruiting element to it, okay, 1150 01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:17,320 Speaker 3: But secondly that they would go through all this rigamarole 1151 01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:22,040 Speaker 3: to make it Sark. It's one thing if it's urban Meyer, right, 1152 01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:27,400 Speaker 3: but for Sark, which it was. It was urban Meyer 1153 01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:32,360 Speaker 3: until it wasn't for Sark, though, Well, I don't know, 1154 01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:34,320 Speaker 3: I don't know how I feel. I thought that it 1155 01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:36,560 Speaker 3: seems like I make the case. Go ahead, make the case. 1156 01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:39,000 Speaker 1: So I'll make the case for getting rid of Herman 1157 01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:41,440 Speaker 1: and for hiring Sark. You get rid of Herman because 1158 01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:46,280 Speaker 1: he recruited really really well. He outpaced everybody but Oklahoma 1159 01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:50,320 Speaker 1: on the recruiting trail, and the talent level is extremely high. 1160 01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:52,640 Speaker 1: He had talked about this, I think was also with 1161 01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:55,080 Speaker 1: the Max Olsen piece about circling twenty twenty, as you 1162 01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:57,760 Speaker 1: have fourth year starter in Sam Ellinger, and you have 1163 01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:00,680 Speaker 1: all these guys with a ton of experience from his class, 1164 01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:02,920 Speaker 1: from I think the twenty eighteen class. I think that 1165 01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:06,000 Speaker 1: was the Caden Sterearns year. Just a lot of talent 1166 01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:08,440 Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball, a lot of experience 1167 01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:10,760 Speaker 1: on both sides of ball. This is what he pointed 1168 01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:12,760 Speaker 1: to and I think to a lot of people within 1169 01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:16,200 Speaker 1: the Texas program as this is the year and they 1170 01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:19,760 Speaker 1: just they can't help but play up and down or 1171 01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:24,000 Speaker 1: basically play down to teams. They can't separate from anybody. Essentially, 1172 01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:27,320 Speaker 1: you know, losing to this year's TCU team, needing to 1173 01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:30,520 Speaker 1: come back to take Texas Tech to overtime this year 1174 01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:35,720 Speaker 1: with the supposed playoff adjacent or playoff type team that 1175 01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:38,280 Speaker 1: Tom Herman envisioned. And so when it was clear that 1176 01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:41,120 Speaker 1: that wasn't happening, that Texas couldn't separate, that they still 1177 01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:44,960 Speaker 1: were screwing up the little things against not lesser teams, 1178 01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:49,080 Speaker 1: but teams with lesser talent. You know, allegedly that it 1179 01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:53,440 Speaker 1: just it wasn't going in any sort of appreciably upward direction. 1180 01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:57,280 Speaker 1: And so if you're Texas and you have the money 1181 01:01:57,280 --> 01:02:00,320 Speaker 1: to buy out, you know, fifteen to twenty million dollars 1182 01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:03,880 Speaker 1: worth of coaches, and you have the stomach to take 1183 01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:07,520 Speaker 1: a big swing, knowing that you could very well miss poorly, 1184 01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:10,360 Speaker 1: like they did with urban Meyer early on in December, 1185 01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:15,800 Speaker 1: allegedly reportedly given Tom Herman and Urban Myers now pretty 1186 01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:18,800 Speaker 1: tenuous relationship in past, even though Tom Herman was urban 1187 01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:23,000 Speaker 1: Meyer's offensive coordinator, It's hard to see Tom Herman wanting 1188 01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:25,680 Speaker 1: to in the program, wanted to come back from that 1189 01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:30,080 Speaker 1: like that. It just feels irreparably damaged. And so I 1190 01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:32,600 Speaker 1: think it was a matter of Texas at that point saying, Okay, 1191 01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:36,000 Speaker 1: he's coming back, which I guess technically for the first 1192 01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:37,920 Speaker 1: part of twenty twenty one. He was back in twenty 1193 01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:41,360 Speaker 1: twenty one for like a day and a half, but 1194 01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:44,000 Speaker 1: it just seemed like that they use that time to 1195 01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:47,920 Speaker 1: vet guys and have these whatever back channel type conversations, 1196 01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:51,920 Speaker 1: and obviously given Sarks very public missteps as a head 1197 01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:56,160 Speaker 1: coach at USC and at Washington, that he needed to 1198 01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:58,560 Speaker 1: be vetted thoroughly that he you know, he was sober 1199 01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:02,520 Speaker 1: that he had been behaving him himself and had risen 1200 01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:06,200 Speaker 1: to the occasion from a personal standpoint, you know, given 1201 01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:09,720 Speaker 1: that he was an analyst in an offensive coordinator pretty 1202 01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:13,520 Speaker 1: quickly on the sport's biggest stage. And I suppose it 1203 01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:17,120 Speaker 1: reportedly Texas was happy with what they saw and what 1204 01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:21,040 Speaker 1: you get from Sark. The best of Sark is somebody 1205 01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:24,120 Speaker 1: who can make immediate improvements like he did at Washington 1206 01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:25,840 Speaker 1: after they went zero to twelve and he took them 1207 01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:28,800 Speaker 1: to a respectable level a bowl program if you remember 1208 01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:32,520 Speaker 1: the Keith Price years, and then at USC recruiting at 1209 01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:34,880 Speaker 1: a very high level at a place you should recruit 1210 01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:38,600 Speaker 1: at a very high level. So if he hires good assistance, 1211 01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:42,240 Speaker 1: he's going to recruit his ass off at Texas. And 1212 01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:44,560 Speaker 1: now it's not the most difficult place to do that, 1213 01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:47,680 Speaker 1: but you can take steps back like Tom Herman did, 1214 01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:50,520 Speaker 1: so the talent level will stay or even get higher. 1215 01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:53,960 Speaker 1: At Texas. We saw a record breaking offense at Alabama 1216 01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:56,200 Speaker 1: with high level talent, So you know, he should be 1217 01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:58,880 Speaker 1: able to bring in comparable talent to Texas and a 1218 01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:01,160 Speaker 1: crazy offense. Now, well, he's not going to have his 1219 01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:04,680 Speaker 1: fingerprints on the offense at Texas like he does at Alabama, 1220 01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:08,200 Speaker 1: but he is going to have control and say and 1221 01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:10,720 Speaker 1: has a vision for things. He's been a head coach 1222 01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:13,680 Speaker 1: at two pretty big places, including one blue blood place 1223 01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:18,560 Speaker 1: with high demands in USC. So the experience the best 1224 01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:23,520 Speaker 1: of his ability is impressive. And the things that must 1225 01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:26,040 Speaker 1: be done at Texas to succeed on a national level, 1226 01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:30,040 Speaker 1: He's been at huge places. He understands the day to 1227 01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:34,040 Speaker 1: day of the pressures of a place like Texas. That said, 1228 01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:37,560 Speaker 1: it's still a big swing. It's a risk, It's an 1229 01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:40,160 Speaker 1: absolute risk, given the way he flamed out at USC 1230 01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:46,240 Speaker 1: and given how safe things can be at Alabama, considering 1231 01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:48,440 Speaker 1: Nick Saban's greatness, and it sort of that you just 1232 01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:51,360 Speaker 1: have to come in and you're selling something that's already 1233 01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:55,280 Speaker 1: been sold. You're selling a fully operational death Star machine. 1234 01:04:55,880 --> 01:05:00,560 Speaker 1: So when you leave that kind of nest, things get Harry, 1235 01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:05,800 Speaker 1: Jeremy Pruett, Kirby Smart, Derek Dooley, Mario Crisp, like all 1236 01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:08,360 Speaker 1: these guys are learning for better or for worse, what 1237 01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:10,720 Speaker 1: it's like to leave a pretty secure nest like that 1238 01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:14,880 Speaker 1: and to go to Texas, go to Austin. It's a 1239 01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:19,760 Speaker 1: swing and I can appreciate it because Texas going after 1240 01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:24,080 Speaker 1: a proven winner, but with a ceiling, you know, sort 1241 01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:26,840 Speaker 1: of an in place ceiling, it's not going to get 1242 01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:29,120 Speaker 1: the job done on the national level. So I feel 1243 01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:31,360 Speaker 1: like they do just need to take this giant crack. 1244 01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:35,720 Speaker 1: And as for Steve Sarkisian and the issues that Texas 1245 01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:38,440 Speaker 1: has had with head coaches, Tie, do you know what 1246 01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:42,480 Speaker 1: the Chinese Super League is? I do. It's the biggest 1247 01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:44,600 Speaker 1: for if you're not listening, is it? It's the biggest 1248 01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:48,120 Speaker 1: soccer league in China? Right, it's the Yeah, the soccer 1249 01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:51,000 Speaker 1: league in China. It's the soccer league in China. And 1250 01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:54,960 Speaker 1: a lot of times the stars that come from whatever 1251 01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:59,240 Speaker 1: the EPL or La Liga or wherever, if they're really 1252 01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:02,960 Speaker 1: looking at cash, oh yeah, if they're really looking to 1253 01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:08,439 Speaker 1: retire in a real sweet place financially, that's where they had. 1254 01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:12,720 Speaker 1: And so I'll never fault anybody for saying yes to 1255 01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:15,240 Speaker 1: Texas and all the dysfunction that may come along with it, 1256 01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:18,600 Speaker 1: because Texas may be seeing a future a vision of 1257 01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:24,360 Speaker 1: college football playoff national championships. That's a retirement plan. Coaches 1258 01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:27,640 Speaker 1: should just fight over that job because your family is 1259 01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:30,560 Speaker 1: secure forever. If you take the Texas job, it's an ATM. 1260 01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:33,600 Speaker 1: So yeah, there's Tom Herman getting fifteen million not to coach. 1261 01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:35,320 Speaker 1: There there are congratulations a. 1262 01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:38,120 Speaker 3: Couple of Brazilians making a ton of coin in the 1263 01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:39,520 Speaker 3: Chinese Super League right now. 1264 01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:41,480 Speaker 1: I don't know. Look good for Sark. 1265 01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:45,680 Speaker 3: It is truly a redemption story for him given some 1266 01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:47,040 Speaker 3: of his struggles. 1267 01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:47,640 Speaker 1: Very public struggles. 1268 01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:51,000 Speaker 3: We hope it works out for the University of Texas 1269 01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:54,040 Speaker 3: as they move on past Tom Herman. I'm curious to 1270 01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:56,800 Speaker 3: see what Herman does now. My guess is that he's 1271 01:06:56,840 --> 01:07:00,320 Speaker 3: probably taken a year off, but he would serve certainly 1272 01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:02,960 Speaker 3: be a name in hide to Band on the offensive 1273 01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:07,440 Speaker 3: coordinator side of things, given his history. 1274 01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:08,640 Speaker 1: But we'll see. 1275 01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:12,480 Speaker 3: We'll see where it goes for him. Perhaps another coaching job, 1276 01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:14,440 Speaker 3: another head coaching job as well could be. 1277 01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:18,360 Speaker 1: I did see. I think it looks like all arrows 1278 01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:22,240 Speaker 1: are pointing to Don Brown to Arizona to be Jed 1279 01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:24,560 Speaker 1: Fish's defensive coordinator, which I think would be a bit 1280 01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:29,200 Speaker 1: of a coup considering how well he did at Michigan 1281 01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:33,480 Speaker 1: for at least in large part, and Kellen Moore not 1282 01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:36,960 Speaker 1: going to Boise State, which appears to open the door 1283 01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:40,160 Speaker 1: for Andy Avlos, Oregon's defensive coordinator, who was in that 1284 01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:44,640 Speaker 1: same role at Boise before and certainly a star linebacker 1285 01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:48,120 Speaker 1: his day for Boiseus. So you know, this is when 1286 01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:51,440 Speaker 1: the carousel really starts spinning, when we see playoff coaches 1287 01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:55,400 Speaker 1: get eliminated, you know, guys at Notre Dame, guys at Clemson, whatever. 1288 01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:59,400 Speaker 1: And this is when I think we have a coach's convention. 1289 01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:00,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's virtually, I don't know how 1290 01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:02,200 Speaker 1: it works this year, but this is when we see 1291 01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:05,880 Speaker 1: a lot of those assistants and position coaches and coordinators, 1292 01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:08,600 Speaker 1: and it all starts trickling down right now. So we'll 1293 01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:13,320 Speaker 1: keep paying attention and keep giving our average thoughts, our 1294 01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:14,080 Speaker 1: average shots. 1295 01:08:14,080 --> 01:08:17,720 Speaker 3: So the final point before we let the fine people go, yeah, 1296 01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:21,000 Speaker 3: we've gotten questions, we do need to provide an update 1297 01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:24,000 Speaker 3: on the Patreon front. So let's as we get a 1298 01:08:24,040 --> 01:08:26,599 Speaker 3: little bit closer now into off season mode. 1299 01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:27,960 Speaker 1: We've had folks say, well, what are you going to 1300 01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:28,719 Speaker 1: do in the off season? 1301 01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:31,559 Speaker 3: You don't have a reaction show can't offer some of 1302 01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:34,400 Speaker 3: those same benefits as before. So we've been spending a 1303 01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:36,920 Speaker 3: great deal of time in the lab trying to figure 1304 01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:39,679 Speaker 3: out what can we do that would provide some value. 1305 01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:43,800 Speaker 3: The first thing that we are prepared to offer is, 1306 01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:47,640 Speaker 3: you know how every year, generally every year, we'll do 1307 01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:51,120 Speaker 3: one of those off topic shows that really drums up support. 1308 01:08:51,280 --> 01:08:53,400 Speaker 3: You know, we've had Bill Barnwell on before. We've talked 1309 01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:57,120 Speaker 3: about things like pop punkin emo, or video games or 1310 01:08:57,840 --> 01:09:00,840 Speaker 3: all sorts of different topics that are big hits among 1311 01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:04,479 Speaker 3: the verballerhood. We have now committed to doing one of those. 1312 01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:08,559 Speaker 3: I think it's every third Friday of every month throughout 1313 01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:11,519 Speaker 3: the course off season. We'll sprinkle in some of the 1314 01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:15,559 Speaker 3: Q and A that we get from our Patreon subscribership, 1315 01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:19,160 Speaker 3: but that will be a bonus feature available to our 1316 01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:24,760 Speaker 3: certified verballers. We're also going to be doing video, so 1317 01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:28,240 Speaker 3: we'll be doing a normal monthly Q and A segment 1318 01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:31,439 Speaker 3: that we've done throughout the course of pretty much every 1319 01:09:31,520 --> 01:09:34,240 Speaker 3: off season now, but we'll be doing a video release 1320 01:09:34,320 --> 01:09:37,800 Speaker 3: of that which will only be available to our Patreon subscribers. 1321 01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:42,000 Speaker 3: And also we've got some other extended audio that we're 1322 01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:46,639 Speaker 3: planning on doing, whether it's interviews, whether it's some limited 1323 01:09:46,720 --> 01:09:50,680 Speaker 3: run themed stuff that we've got planned that we're not 1324 01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:53,760 Speaker 3: prepared to unveil at this point, but we're working on 1325 01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:57,280 Speaker 3: some things in that vein, and we think that all 1326 01:09:57,400 --> 01:10:01,600 Speaker 3: of them lend themselves quite nicely to extended audio releases, 1327 01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:05,400 Speaker 3: much the same way that some of our reaction shows 1328 01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:09,760 Speaker 3: like this one will lend itself to extended commentary. We 1329 01:10:09,880 --> 01:10:13,240 Speaker 3: think that content falls into the same category. So you 1330 01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:18,000 Speaker 3: get access to all those extended content drops as well. 1331 01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:23,840 Speaker 3: You'll also get, if you are a premium reball or 1332 01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:29,160 Speaker 3: access to more video content, so video releases of that 1333 01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:35,960 Speaker 3: extended content, video releases of some of those special off 1334 01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:38,160 Speaker 3: topic Q and A shows that we end up doing. 1335 01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:41,160 Speaker 3: So we're really trying to steer into our video capabilities here, 1336 01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:43,200 Speaker 3: trying to steer into what we know a lot of 1337 01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:46,839 Speaker 3: folks like, which is that off season Q and A content, 1338 01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:49,720 Speaker 3: some of the off topic content.
