3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 1: I want to be happy. You want to be happy

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,040

Speaker 2: how are you?

10
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: I'm good? I'm good. I'm always looking to maximize my preparation,

11
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: not in studying teams, not in figuring out how I

12
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: feel about games, but just how I treat myself ahead

13
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: of this show, I want to have energy. I want

14
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,280

15
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: everything you're saying. So I want to I want to

16
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 1: maximize who I am physically, emotionally, mentally before this show.

17
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: A little bit beforehand, I did a quick, little ten

18
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: minute mindful meditation. And I know you already know me

19
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: to have elite mindfulness, but today I might be off

20
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: the charts. I'm just letting you know the mindfulness and

21
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: how centered I appear to be. An audio or video

00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,840

53
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,160

54
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: New York. Right, it's Friday, October seven, Friday, Solid verbal,

57
00:02:54,800 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: start discussing the weekend? You lead me? Ty time, dude.

58
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 2: We talked about the news yesterday. Let's just jump right in.

59
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: Okay, three Week three.

60
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 2: I had a picnic on Labor Day, and I know

61
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 2: you had some stuff going where you cooked as well

62
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 2: on Labor Day, So I don't know what your fridge

63
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 2: status is, but I had a lot of leftovers after

64
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 2: that get together's been hiding out in there for a while, right,

65
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 2: You know how it is, You throw it and it

66
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 2: kind of works its way to the back corner.

67
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: You don't always check, you know.

68
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 2: I haven't need to check, but had some leftovers hiding

69
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 2: out back there. Well, Dan uh oh, I opened up

70
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 2: the fridge on Monday morning, and it was a bit

71
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 2: like a war zone in there. A few things had

72
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: clearly come of age when I wasn't paying attention. Grown

73
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 2: a little peach fuzz as well, just to prove the point. So,

74
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 2: in honor of the changing landscape of college football after

75
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: Week two, and to really state my case that Week

76
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: three will bring us hopefully more of the same, I

77
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: nominate stinky fridge Saturday.

78
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: That's pretty that's kind of a downer though, right, No.

79
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 2: I mean yes, But it depends on your frame of

80
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 2: frame of you here, your reference point. If you are

81
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: against Notre Dame, perhaps his cow game could give you

82
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 2: a reason to cheer for stinky fridge Saturday. Not everybody

83
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 2: is stinky in the fridge, Dan, most teams are, but

84
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 2: some are not.

85
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: Well. This would almost imply a hangover of sorts, a

86
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: letdown of sorts. Right, that something is left in the fridge,

87
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: that just shouldn't have hung around and is not feeling great.

88
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: It's not bad, it's not bad. I like stinky fridge Saturday.

89
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 2: My working theory is that there is one amazing team

90
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 2: in Georgia, there's one almost amazing team in Ohio State,

91
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 2: and then there is a large swath of the college

92
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 2: football ecosystem.

93
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: That is is.

94
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 2: Trolling about out there but has a fatal flaw. And

95
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 2: then also we've got Notre Dame in Texas A and M.

96
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. So to me, excellence is beside the point. I'm

97
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: not here for excellence other than Valley Circle Pizza. There's

98
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: not a lot excellent happening in my college football universe.

99
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: So what I have is, we're looking at teams across

100
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: the board in week one and week two, and we

101
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: are seeing some thick, meaty flanks. We are seeing two

102
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: and oh three and oh we're seeing explosive offenses. We're

103
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: seeing lockdown defenses. But it's against Kent State, it's against Troy,

104
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: it's against Alabama State. And in fact, we are being

105
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: distracted by those thick, meati excellence flanks. And you look

106
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: a little bit closer, and you look up top, and

107
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: it's a little more human looking perhaps after this weekend,

108
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: when some teams who have not been playing the biggest teams,

109
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: the toughest competition finally square off again, and I think

110
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: teams who are going to reveal some more human elements.

111
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: And for that I have this as Centaur Saturday.

112
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 2: Are you making that sound or is that a sound effect?

113
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: I did make that sound and I ran it through

114
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:21,559
Speaker 1: a bunch of processing an Adobe audition. Whoa play that again?

115
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: What was that? I don't know what centaurs sound like,

116
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: because they're uncivilized legends of Greek mythology. So we don't

117
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: have audio recordings that the government hasn't already destroyed that

118
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: we know of. That we know of that we know of.

119
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: WHOA damn? That is haunting.

120
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 2: If there are any animals listening to this, I do apologize.

121
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, Centaur Saturday.

122
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 2: We almost got to go of that, just so we

123
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 2: can use the sound again.

124
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 1: Oh stop it? Ooh you're welcome. That goes through me.

125
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 2: Okay, Centaur, Centaur Saturday. What about this? I'm gonna leave

126
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 2: this one to you. Actually, I couldn't find a great window.

127
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 2: I'm genuinely interested in the full Monty Here the full

128
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 2: thing from Noon with Oklahoma Nebraska, which I think is

129
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 2: way more interesting. It was interesting to begin with, but

130
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 2: it's certainly interesting now given what's going on at Nebraska.

131
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 2: The three point thirty block is really interesting to me,

132
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: obviously because of Penn State Auburn, but also BYU Oregon

133
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 2: for you. The nightcap, I think brings with it a

134
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 2: fair amount of stinky fridge potential. We could see some

135
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 2: action late into the night. The Miami Texas A and

136
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 2: M game doesn't kick off till nine Eastern time, so

137
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 2: it's gonna be it could be a Betty Buy situation

138
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 2: for both hosts of the Solid Verbal before this one

139
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 2: is through. But there's a lot of action going on

140
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:56,119
Speaker 2: the full way through.

141
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: I enjoyed genuinely that both ESPN, ABC and Fox are

142
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: going in different directions and where they're putting their biggest games.

143
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: It's like the race to nine blades on your razors. Screw,

144
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,119
Speaker 1: we're going nine eastern, so we're going ten eastern, Screw,

145
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: We're going five am to show you Alabama Auburn. Yeah,

146
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: it's fun. It's fun. We have fun on the Solid Rubble.

147
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: I don't think there's an obvious window to skip, but

148
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: I don't think there's an obvious window to set your

149
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: alarms to, if that makes any sense, that there's no clear, obvious,

150
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: attractive headliner unless your team is playing a relatively big

151
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: game itself, and there's no clear window where you're like,

152
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: don't watch this. So I just say hang around, Yeah,

153
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: hang around, don't get too far away from a TV.

154
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: That's all I like it. I like it.

155
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 2: No window this week, Dan, No, absolutely window is shut.

156
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 2: Let's go right into it. High nute on Fox.

157
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: It's the big noons Saturday game.

158
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 2: It is Moklahoma minus eleven on the road at Nebraska.

159
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 2: Trev Alberts decided no Moss, No Moss. He couldn't wait

160
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 2: a couple weeks until October first, when Scott Frost buy

161
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 2: out that I'm sure everyone's heard about by now, but

162
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 2: the buyout would have gone down. How to make the

163
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 2: move now? And so we've arrived at this weird moment

164
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 2: in college football that we knew was coming all along,

165
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,359
Speaker 2: where every coach with Midwestern roots is rumored to Nebraska.

166
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 2: Go back and listen to the show from yesterday for

167
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 2: our full discussion on the matter. But it does set

168
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 2: up at least an interesting dynamic here for the weekend

169
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 2: between two traditional old school Big twelve rivals.

170
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: Big twelve Big eight. Yeah. Absolutely. By the way, just

171
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: on the topic of Scott Frost Nebraska, that job opening

172
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: is going to make so many people some cash extensions.

173
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 1: Everybody's going to be James Franklin in the Central time

174
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: zone with the Nebraska job. Everybody's going to leverage interest.

175
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: Matt Campbell might make twenty million dollars next from Iowa state.

176
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: Good for everybody. We get that. That leverage, that's stocking

177
00:09:58,559 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: horse in.

178
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 2: We are already content, as we discussed on the week

179
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 2: two recap episode, to talk ourselves into Nebraska plus the

180
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 2: points just for comedy's sake after the loss last weekend.

181
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: So I am.

182
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 2: Following suit here Dan. This is what we do on

183
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 2: the show The Yokos Home Dog of the Week. Oh

184
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 2: right off the bat, just get into this thing, hot

185
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 2: and heavy. I was delighted to learn that these sharp

186
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 2: betters in Vegas are overwhelmingly taking Nebraska as well. And

187
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 2: this is after the news about Scott Frost was out there.

188
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 2: So for those listening, what's a sharp better? What does

189
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 2: that mean? The sharp betters are the guys who pay

190
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 2: the bills with the bets the pro betters, not the

191
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 2: idiots like you and me. The line opened around Oklahoma

192
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 2: minus thirteen and a half. As you just heard, it's

193
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: down to eleven, which is pretty significant movement. That's a

194
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 2: lot of line movement. My question to you is what

195
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 2: angle do we want to take here? I saw one

196
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 2: set of updated projections that has Oklahoma going twelve and

197
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 2: oh this season, So we could really get some views

198
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 2: if we say that Oklahoma just isn't as good with

199
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 2: Brent Vennables, if we want to go that approach with this. Yeah,

200
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 2: but obviously Nebraska here will be up for this game

201
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 2: and to whatever extent they can be within interim coach

202
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 2: and a weird situation. Are you still content to go

203
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 2: Nebraska plus the points as I am.

204
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: Yes, I am not thrilled with it, but I'm content

205
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: to do it just because of what we know or

206
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: really don't know about Oklahoma. And that's just a big

207
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: number that we are not positive. But we had the

208
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: slow start last week, and a lot of teams are

209
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: going to start slow week one, week two, whatever. We

210
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: get that, but we just don't know what to expect

211
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 1: out of Oklahoma on the road, and we know Nebraska

212
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: can move the ball. We know that there's an offense

213
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: in there sometimes at times whatever they've moved the ball

214
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: against everybody that they've played, granted, not a great schedule

215
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: thus far, and we know Oklahoma's defense appears to be

216
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: much improve but again against whom so on that level.

217
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: If we're to believe that there is a cloud not

218
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: hanging over Nebraska anymore, in the will they won't they

219
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: Scott Frost and the pressure that he was under, and

220
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: maybe maybe people feel that weight off their shoulders in

221
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: the Nebraska locker room. Mickey Joseph takes over obviously a

222
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: Nebraska legacy, you know, deeply intertwined with that program, and

223
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: so maybe there's that fresh start element. I don't think

224
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: Nebraska is going to get appreciably better because there's certain

225
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: things like I don't think this defense is going to

226
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: be average to above average this year. It doesn't appear

227
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:42,119
Speaker 1: to be the case. But just in terms of numbers

228
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: and where the line's at about two touchdowns.

229
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 2: Fourteen was what it opened. It opened at thirteen and

230
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 2: a half, it's down to eleven.

231
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, okay, so I'm still going to take Nebraska

232
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: here to lose by seven or ten points, but maybe

233
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: four stretches of this game feeling a little bit reinvigorated,

234
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: and like Anthony Grant, it's a good running back. I

235
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: think Casey Thompson can make plays. I think they're smart minds,

236
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: you know Mark Whipple with this offense, So I think

237
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: they're going to do enough to hang around and feel

238
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: that reinvigoration for the Huskers at home.

239
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean this. I think may come back to

240
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 2: what I've said all along about shootouts.

241
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: To take the points.

242
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 2: Take the points if you're getting more than a touchdown,

243
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 2: and a shootout, And the only way that this could

244
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 2: go if we want this plus eleven thing to cash

245
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 2: is a shootout. If you look at the advanced numbers

246
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 2: that we talk about a lot, Nebraska's success rates on

247
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 2: offense are appreciably better than they are on defense. They're

248
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 2: terrible on defense against both the run and the pass.

249
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 2: They don't discriminate because they're friendly, But on offense they're

250
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 2: not bad, genuinely not bad.

251
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: So I suppose the phrase all time great game for

252
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 1: Ryan Helenski is not the greatest reputation builder for this Nebraska.

253
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 2: It's not on the rest, it's not on the resume.

254
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 2: Now they omitted that one. Yeah, so I agree with you.

255
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 2: There's a lot we don't know about Oklahoma, and I

256
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 2: do believe that brand Vnables is a very good defensive coach.

257
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 2: But this is clearly the first offense they've seen all year.

258
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 2: It's not a bad offense. So plus eleven at home,

259
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 2: weight of the world, weight of Scott Frost off the

260
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 2: Nebraska shoulders. I'm pretty excited about this game. I'm pretty excited.

261
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: Kind of a rivalry game, right I okay, so yeah,

262
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: oh no, it is a rivalry game historically. The thing

263
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: that I'm not excited for is is Nebraska a cancuon

264
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: team already? That's the worry the one that could also Yeah,

265
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: this could also be forty eight to ten, right that

266
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: this is just like, well, we're in a lame duck

267
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: situation and it's only week three or four whatever for

268
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: Nebraska game number four, am I right? Yes? And we

269
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: already see the long road ahead of an interim staff. Now,

270
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: maybe Mickey Joseph is twenty fourteen coach O thirteen fourteen

271
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: and somewhere in there where everybody rallies around him and

272
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: they like him, but he's a new coach. There I

273
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm still going to take the points, but

274
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: you have to recognize the potential of completely going sideways

275
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: immediately after the firing of Scott Frost, because everybody's ready

276
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: to figure out their next move.

277
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 2: There is also an angle here that this is a

278
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 2: team conditioned to lose by single digits. True, it happened

279
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 2: nine times last year and twice already this year. And

280
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 2: if you look at the schedule, maybe outside of Oklahoma,

281
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 2: you could probably make a case that with their offense,

282
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 2: of the games that they might lose in the schedule,

283
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 2: they could all be by one score again, which would

284
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 2: be just insanity. If you're a Nebraska fan, to lose

285
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 2: again by one score more times, you'd almost rather get

286
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 2: blown out. I don't think they get blown out here.

287
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 2: I think their offense is good enough to keep this

288
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 2: one close. So I'm going Nebraska plus the points at home.

289
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: Homedog of the Week. Right at this we agree, which

290
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: is probably a good thing, because we've been very wrong,

291
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: very wrong. Ax.

292
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 2: Next game on Fox, b y you on the road

293
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 2: at Oregon, Oregon favored by three and a half.

294
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: Dan.

295
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 2: When we last left our heroes in Eugene, they were

296
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 2: terrorizing something named Gunner Talkington who plays quarterback for Eastern.

297
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: Washington something not somebody something entity.

298
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 2: Yes, sounds like a cartoon bo Nick's five touchdown passes

299
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 2: last week. Oregon had thirty eight first downs. They outgained

300
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 2: Eastern by almost five hundred yards.

301
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, BYU went.

302
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 2: To overtime and knocked off Baylor.

303
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: It's a good win. That's a good win win.

304
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 2: I don't think Baylor is that good. I'm gonna be

305
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 2: real with you, m So, I'm not gonna overreact to it.

306
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: But it's a good win. It's a good win.

307
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 2: Certainly worse opponents out there than the reigning Big twelve champions.

308
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to help me on this one, dude.

309
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 2: I need help because I am I am now, as

310
00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 2: I have been since early June, confident that b YU

311
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 2: is at least top twenty five caliber.

312
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: I think this is one of the Pac twelve last year,

313
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: right five teams or something.

314
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, it does feel like a stretch to me that

315
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,479
Speaker 2: they would go to Eugene and win. But if they

316
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 2: are trying to mount any kind of playoff argument, which

317
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 2: with their schedule, you could certainly say there's one that

318
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 2: one to be made if they go and win all

319
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 2: the games. It's a stretch for me that they go

320
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 2: to Eugene and win.

321
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: Right.

322
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 2: The line also tells me that BYU would probably be

323
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 2: a slight favorite on a neutral field, maybe at home,

324
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 2: which I also don't know if I buy with Organ

325
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 2: because I just don't know. I don't know what we

326
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 2: have here with the Ducks, and I was hoping you

327
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 2: can help me.

328
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: I'll try, I'll try to help you. So you mentioned

329
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: the bon Nick stats. He did not throw down the

330
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: field against Eastern Washington. Now you can say, well, they

331
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: don't want to show too much ahead of BYU in

332
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: the PAC twelve season, But Lane, you should just be

333
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: able to throw down the field against Eastern Washington. You

334
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: should go to the third level in your passing game

335
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: and go deep. They didn't. They just didn't. They didn't

336
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: try much, and they didn't exceeded all going deep downfield.

337
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 1: And so to me, that's a you know, that's your

338
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: uh what is it, Ashanti? The trust issue? Trust babe? Yeah,

339
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: And so I don't feel as if Oregon fully trust

340
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: Bonnicks to make high leverage, big moment throws downfield to

341
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: change the complexion of any what are people on your.

342
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 2: Secret organ boards saying about Bonix right now, is that

343
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 2: curio of.

344
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: The dark web, the Duck dark the Duck web? Is that?

345
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 1: Is that? Okay? Sure, I don't think there's a lot

346
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: of confidence among the Duck fan base in bon Nicks,

347
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: just because we've seen him once as an Oregon QB

348
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: against a Power five team or a FBS team of

349
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: substance and he was fine. But it's short stuff. He

350
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: seems to be picklebald himself the way that by U

351
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 1: pickleballd Baylor last week, keeping the keeping the field real

352
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:54,199
Speaker 1: short and tiny. And I am I am positive Oregon

353
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: is more talented than b Yu b Yu beat up

354
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: at receiver. We saw what Puka Nukua and I think

355
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: it was gonna Romney is a Romney at least not

356
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: playing that Baylor game, which changed the complexion of their offense.

357
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: And so I'm a little bit worried about Oregon. On

358
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. They have a ton of

359
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: skill talent that's super intriguing. So if they can creatively

360
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,239
Speaker 1: get the ball to receivers and running backs. They've got

361
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 1: three four running backs that they trust, four or five

362
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: receivers that they trust. Organ's beat up on defense a

363
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: little bit. At linebacker. They don't really get after the

364
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: quarterback super well up front, like they don't have that

365
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: cave on Thibodeau, obvious edge replacement who is having success.

366
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: There are pieces in the secondary, but not obvious all

367
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: conference type pieces other than maybe Christian Gonzalez at one

368
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 1: of those corner spots, So that worries me. I think

369
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: BYU is a more operational, high level team on both

370
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 1: sides of the ball, even though they had defensive questions

371
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: after last year. They're tested and came through last week

372
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: without playmakers. If those guys are healthy, I think it's

373
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: BYU here. I think it's BYU. There's just there's something

374
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: that's not yet dependable about Oregon, but it's at home

375
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: and they're more talented. WHI worries me about taking that

376
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: road team. I'm still taking BYU. I'm still taking the

377
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: Cougars in Autson because of the wildcard factor at quarterback

378
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: and the lack of trust.

379
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 2: It seems BYU going to and winning at Oregon would

380
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 2: be huge. That'd be a big deal for that program.

381
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 2: And I have been really high on this team. I

382
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 2: constantly this week as I was going through and trying

383
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 2: to research this game, constantly had to pinch myself, like,

384
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 2: am I really going to take BYU on the road

385
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 2: in auntson? Because just doesn't feel like something we would

386
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 2: say that often about the BYU. Really any group of

387
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 2: five team, it's a tough place to go and play

388
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 2: and win. But Oregon is in transition. I'm not going

389
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 2: to say they're Notre Dame. They're not Notre Dame, but

390
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 2: they're in a similar spot to Notre Dame and that

391
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 2: they're still trying to figure out what they are and

392
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 2: new quarterback, what have you. There's an opportunity here with BYU,

393
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 2: I think, especially in the trenches from the Oregon standpoint,

394
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 2: to get a push up front and lablish themselves. BYU

395
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,719
Speaker 2: has been pretty good defensing the run. They have not

396
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 2: been very good at creating any havoc plays. So this

397
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 2: is not a team that through two games anyway, has

398
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 2: really done much along the way of creating havoc with

399
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 2: its defensive front or even with its secondary right. This

400
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 2: could be an opportunity for bow Knicks to maybe stretch

401
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 2: the field a little bit more with the passing game.

402
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 2: I do feel though like BYU is much more of

403
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 2: a known quantity at this point, Like you said, they're

404
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 2: a little bit more tested. The win against Baylor was

405
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 2: really nice on a couple levels.

406
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: Situationally, it's a terrible spot though for BYU. Right it's

407
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: a really a big emotional win late at night to

408
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: go to a very difficult place to play in Austin

409
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 1: Stadium against a talented top twenty five ish team. I

410
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 1: think they're number twenty five in the A people right now.

411
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: That's a Situationally, it's a it's a tough ask for

412
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: the Cougars.

413
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 2: It is a tough ask. So I am going to

414
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 2: go with BYU as well. I'm going to go a

415
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 2: BYU plus three and a half in this one, if

416
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 2: only because it's about trust, babe, and I don't trust

417
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 2: bo Nicks. I don't trust bo Nicks. If there's one

418
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 2: thing that we've come to know in the story tenure

419
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 2: of Bo Nicks as a starting quarterback at the power

420
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 2: five level, can't really trust them.

421
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: Last year we got closer to.

422
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 2: Trusting him because they took some of the pressure off them,

423
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 2: and there were definitely moments before he got hurt where

424
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 2: he was more trustworthy and definitely played a different style

425
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 2: of game. I don't know if that's what Oregon's going

426
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 2: to try to do here with them. I don't know

427
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 2: if they have the capacity beyond bo Nicks to lean

428
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 2: on other playmakers to get their points. So until further notice,

429
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 2: Until further notice, Yeah, BYU plus three and a half.

430
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 1: Yeah. The problem here is if we think these teams

431
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: are pretty close to each other in terms of there's

432
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: a few matchups like this, it's okay, Organ's down twenty

433
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 1: seven to twenty three with three and a half minutes left.

434
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: What's the trust level from an Oregon fan base on

435
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 1: their couch that Bonix is going to lead them down

436
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 1: the field for eighty one yards And it's not especially high.

437
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: It just isn't. And so that's the difference maker to

438
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 1: me that I would trust BYU in that spot a

439
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 1: little bit more than I would trust Oregon.

440
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 2: The cool thing in this game. Have you watched much

441
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 2: of Jaren Hall?

442
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:04,360
Speaker 1: Yeah?

443
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 2: Jaren Hall's got a holitzer of an arm. Yeah, he

444
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 2: is a henon for an arm and he's fun to watch.

445
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 2: He's a good player.

446
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, we agree again.

447
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 2: Two year Row three CBS Penn State going down south

448
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 2: to Auburn. They are a three point road favorite. This

449
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 2: game I think highlights the beauty of being a big

450
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 2: time fan of one team but an alumni of another.

451
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: You can just.

452
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 2: Easily transition out from the Notre Dame thing and right

453
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 2: on over to my Penn State Nitney Lyons doesn't raise

454
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 2: any suspicion.

455
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: No, that's with me and Michigan. Where oh Oregon loses

456
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 1: by forty six, it turns out, yeah, went to Michigan.

457
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 1: So me and JJ McCarthy and I are lockstaff here.

458
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 2: And that's that's how I feel about Penn State Week

459
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 2: one as a win. It was a clunker, but it

460
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 2: was a win. Definitely left a lot to be desired

461
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 2: on the Penn State side. Last week, though last week

462
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 2: was given me the vapor. Last week was last week.

463
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 2: They ran it really well against the one hundred and

464
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 2: fifth best rush defense in America. Excuse me, wonderful frog

465
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 2: in my throat. I think it's fair to say Penn

466
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 2: State now officially living that Singleton life, and I believe

467
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 2: it's only a matter of time I still do before

468
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 2: we see Drew Aller as a starting quarterback. Not gonna

469
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 2: happen against Auburn unless something happens to Sean Clifford. But

470
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 2: in due time, James Franklin will eventually come to his senses,

471
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 2: probably after their first loss this season, and insert him

472
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 2: as a starting quarterback because he is better.

473
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: And can we start? Can we start a podcast within

474
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: a podcast called The Aller Hour, And as soon as

475
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: Drew Aller takes over that job, we come up with

476
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: a new theme song and we're like, all right, welcome

477
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: and maybe it's like a late night dedication type Welcome

478
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: to the Aller Hour. You're here with Tyan Dan. We're

479
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 1: discussing all things improve Penn State offense and make it

480
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: sort of an ASMR experience. Is that too much or

481
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: is that just enough?

482
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 2: No?

483
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: I think that's just enough.

484
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 2: We can pull We can use this sound.

485
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 1: That's too intense. I want smooth.

486
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 2: All right, Well you can come up with that, since

487
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 2: you're the one does the talk ups. Oh God, don't

488
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 2: do that scares me. Continue the Aller Hour. Yeah, we

489
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 2: can work on that, but it will happen this season.

490
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,199
Speaker 2: I am high on Pen State. I'm really high in

491
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 2: Penn State in this matchup because I think Auburn. I

492
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 2: believe Auburn is all Tank Pigsby on offense and I

493
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 2: don't believe that that will be good enough, multi pronged

494
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 2: enough to beat this defense. That is my core belief

495
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 2: in this game. Penn State's got enough talent in the

496
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 2: secondary that they can stack the box, they can play

497
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 2: tight man coverage, which we know many Diaz is going

498
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 2: to like to do blitz the farm on TJ. Finley,

499
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 2: and because he's neither a runner nor an accurate thrower,

500
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 2: he will first force turnovers.

501
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: Excuse me.

502
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 2: That is my core belief in this game. And because

503
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 2: of that matchup, that's why I like Penn State minus

504
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 2: the number. I don't want to lock this up. I

505
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 2: don't want to jinx Penn State. My locks have not

506
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 2: been good this year. If you've been paying attention at home,

507
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 2: I apologize my locks have not been good. But this

508
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 2: is on that level for me of a lockworthy game. Interestingly,

509
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 2: there's been a lot of action on Auburn plus three,

510
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 2: so if you're someone who does like to wager, I

511
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 2: don't see this line going up to like three and

512
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 2: a half four. Maybe I'm wrong, I've been wrong many

513
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 2: times this year. I could see it, if anything, coming

514
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 2: down to Penn State minus two and a half, so

515
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 2: I might wait on that front. But I am very

516
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 2: very high on Penn State in this game.

517
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 1: Past the mustard, passed the onions, past the pickles. Auburn

518
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: my home dog of the week, the Yokos home dog

519
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 1: of the week.

520
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 2: You made a weird weekend for you, having to not

521
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 2: pick but having to trust bon Nicks and now Brian Harrison. Yeah,

522
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 2: same time block here. Three thirty is going to be

523
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 2: active for Dan Rubinstein.

524
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: It'll be very active for me. I said it in

525
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: the off season. I'm sticking to it. I believe Auburn's defense.

526
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: And you mentioned Tank Pigsby and that's also a strength.

527
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 1: But I think Auburn's defense is a strength of this team. Obviously,

528
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 1: they hung around a bit longer than they should have

529
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: last week against San Jose State, but that was obviously

530
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: turnovers offense and questions at quarterback, all sorts of big

531
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: deal things. Then it comes down to winning college football

532
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 1: games defense at home, as an underdog in a tough

533
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: place to play, I'm going I'm going to conduct the

534
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: Underthink Express once again, and I'm gonna give those points.

535
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: I am sorry, Ty, sorry, I hate that pick for you.

536
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,360
Speaker 2: I hate that pick for you. You know I root

537
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 2: you on as one of my true best friends in

538
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 2: this world. Yeah, I hate that pick for you.

539
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: It's okay, it's okay. I'm rolling with Auburn because I

540
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: am sticking to what built the altar of Dan, Tye

541
00:27:54,880 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: Brick let me find it by Breck. We built the

542
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: Altar of Dan with some certain ideas and theories, and

543
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,959
Speaker 1: one of them is at least good defense at home

544
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: in a tough place to play as an underdog. Roll

545
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: with it.

546
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 2: We shall see we disagree for the first time. I'm

547
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 2: going It's okay all Penn State. I'm excited. Moving on

548
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 2: six pm Eastern ESPN. Mississippi State. Your Mississippi State Bulldogs

549
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 2: minus two and a half now on the road at LSU.

550
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 2: Interesting factoid that may only interest SEC homers. Through two weeks,

551
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 2: Jaden Daniels leads the SEC and quarterback rating. Okay, I

552
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 2: would say that would almost certainly change after this week

553
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 2: against Mississippi State, but at least through two weeks. A

554
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 2: nice unexpected surprise for an LSU team that I think

555
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,719
Speaker 2: is still looking its wounds a little bit after that

556
00:28:54,280 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 2: Week one loss against Florida State. To balance that out,

557
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 2: that unbridled enthusiasm out I saw a couple of projections

558
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 2: that have LSU as basically a stiff breeze away from

559
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 2: a four and eight season. So talk about feast or famine,

560
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 2: you've got You've got a little bit of both here.

561
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 2: I think that's mostly because of the schedule. It would

562
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 2: be great for those of us with an axe to

563
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 2: grind with Brian Kelly if they went four and eight.

564
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 2: But I still believe, as I know you do, that

565
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 2: this is a pretty good team that they're they're finding

566
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 2: their way here and they'll be Yeah, they'll be fine

567
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 2: even against a tough schedule. So where are you at

568
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 2: with this game? Because I know you like LSU generally speaking,

569
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 2: you like the town on the roster. You're also higher

570
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 2: than any person I've ever met on Mississippi State.

571
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: This is really tough because I was high on LSU

572
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: to start the season and high on Mississippi State. LSU

573
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: wod You say a two and a half point dog

574
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: at home? Yep, A little bit beat up on both

575
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: sides of the ball. And you mentioned the Jade and

576
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: Daniels thing. I don't fully trust him either. This one's

577
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,479
Speaker 1: tough for me. Here's the question is what is this

578
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: number if LSU. And this is not a real reality

579
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: based question, but if LSU does a little bit more

580
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: on special teams and wins that game against Florida State,

581
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: what does that number look like. Is that LSU minus

582
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: a point and a half they win that game.

583
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 2: I think it's I think it's a pick them. Yeah.

584
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: I just think there are things that went wrong in

585
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: that game that are extremely correctable in two weeks. Finding

586
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: somebody to catch punts, figuring out field goal and extra

587
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: point protection. Not saying that everything else is roses for LSU.

588
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: There's a lot of issues still to be worked out

589
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: early on. I think Mississippi State's second consecutive game on

590
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: the road, late night game in the Desert am I

591
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: right against Arizona last week, kind of a sloppy game.

592
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: I'm going to take LSU here. I'm going to take LSU,

593
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: even though I think Mississippi State is more advanced and

594
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: more evolved as a program right now, just because of

595
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: Mike Leach being there for years now. But there is

596
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: something about LSU at home, and I still think they're

597
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: going to have a pretty good defense, and I'm just

598
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: going to stick with the you know, the altar of

599
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: Dan the etho involved in building. It's like the Basilica

600
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: right in Spain that they've been building since nineteen twenty six,

601
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: still unfinished. Just it's beautiful, beautiful, beautiful build up.

602
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 2: I'm going with LSU here. I've decided the rest of

603
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 2: the season. I am picking LSU. Maybe for the rest

604
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 2: of eternity. He's as long as Brian Kelly is there.

605
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 2: I am picking LSU games based solely on how Brian

606
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 2: Kelly did in similar situations at Notre Dame. Okay, I

607
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 2: think that is my lane, that is my goal. The

608
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 2: rub on Brian Kelly at Notre Dame, other than being

609
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 2: kind of a disingenuous prick, but we'll go to a

610
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 2: different place with this. The rub on him was winnable games.

611
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 2: What is a winnable game? It's subjective, right, but I'm

612
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 2: talking about the games that are there for the taking,

613
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,719
Speaker 2: and he still finds a way to either underperformer end

614
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 2: up losing. Those are the winnable games. Frankly, like the

615
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 2: Florida State game in Week one, it's always something, always

616
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 2: finds a way that its first game there. Now it's lost,

617
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 2: but doesn't change its spots man.

618
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: Okay, Tiger Stripes Tiger.

619
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, same deal. Yah, Elis you could have won that game.

620
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 2: They could have won that game, but the special teams

621
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 2: woes definitely got in their way. It's just it's always

622
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 2: something with this guy.

623
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: So do you you you honestly think LSU will just

624
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: what they showed in Game one. That's just who they

625
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: are forever more under Brian Kelly.

626
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 2: That's they have assumed his identity the way he has

627
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 2: assumed theirs. And there and they're eleven games a year Kelly, Yeah,

628
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 2: Brian Kelly is now becoming Yes, my sense is that a

629
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 2: Mississippi State is the better team at this point, as

630
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 2: you said, more of all because the team is a program,

631
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 2: which is why I am taking them to win here.

632
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 2: I do believe this is a winnable game. I have

633
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 2: no idea honestly who's winning. I am picking on a

634
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 2: hope and a prayer that I have content to discuss

635
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 2: and joke around about on Sunday morning when we record

636
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 2: our Week three recap show. This is gonna be a

637
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 2: good game. I am excited to actually watch this football,

638
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 2: Brian Kelly side, because I would like to see LSU

639
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 2: continue taking a step forward.

640
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: Right.

641
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 2: Last week was a really good showing on offense, albeit

642
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 2: against substandard competition. Mississippi State's a much different test, and

643
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 2: Mississippi State has.

644
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: Looked very good through two weeks.

645
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 2: There is something to that warming of the tires effect

646
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,719
Speaker 2: that we've talked about throughout the course of this season.

647
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 2: With week zero right having an early start to get

648
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 2: your ducks in a row, Mississippi States look good so far.

649
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 2: They have looked good, and they've had a good chance

650
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 2: to figure out what ails them early. This is a

651
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 2: veteran team. I like them at home or well, I

652
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 2: like them. I like them even though they're not at home,

653
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 2: even though they have to go to LSU to win

654
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 2: this game.

655
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: Isn't there something to Mike Leach Mississippi State though, that's like, yeah,

656
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: sometimes they'll just go down twenty seven to three. There

657
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: is there is. There's just something where like, yeah, they

658
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: were up twenty eight to ten and lost, like there

659
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 1: is there's there are dramatic swings to the Mike Leach

660
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: Mississippi State experiment thus far. It's a little bit in games.

661
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 2: It's a little bit like trading bitcoin. There's a little

662
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 2: bit of that crypto feel to Mississippi State. That is

663
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 2: worrying and is not for the faint of heart.

664
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's all I'm saying, when you also could be.

665
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 2: A huge fraud there. Really, there's a lot of parallel there.

666
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 1: So we've reviewed everything. Mississippi State is both a well

667
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: oiled machine, there are many different things in terms of

668
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: variants over the course of the game, or they're a

669
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 1: fraud tight no matter what happens, we're right, We're good.

670
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: Good bye, every single base we called it.

671
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 2: Okay, Mississippi State minus two and a half is my pick.

672
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: Okay, we just agree.

673
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 2: Seven pm ESPN two, Texas Tech on the road at

674
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 2: NC State. I look at this game and I say, wow, Wow, what.

675
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:48,280
Speaker 1: An interesting matchup. Wow Wow Wow interesting matchup Tech. Wow.

676
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 2: I think Tech is still catching its breath from a

677
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 2: week ago after beating Houston in overtime. In terms of significance,

678
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 2: that game is way more important than this one. Now

679
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 2: you're traveling across the country. Where is this Raleigh?

680
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: Raleigh? Where is NC State?

681
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 2: Now?

682
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:09,720
Speaker 1: Where they playing their games these days? Carter family? Yeah?

683
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 2: What is this? Where is this on a map? Show

684
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 2: it to me. I just don't know if Tech's going

685
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 2: to be as up for this game as they might

686
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 2: be against an in state foe, so I maintain I'm

687
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 2: sticking to the script here. NC State is a top

688
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 2: fifteen caliber team, and they're easy to forget about because

689
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 2: the Week one game they should have lost to ECU

690
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 2: should have lost that game. But this is still a

691
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 2: veteran team, should be a ten point favorite. Is a

692
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,760
Speaker 2: ten point favorite. I think if you factor in the travel,

693
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 2: the situation, the fact that Tech is still basically rebooting

694
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,879
Speaker 2: with a young, albeit exciting quarterback, is a fourteen point

695
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 2: win for NC State.

696
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: I really like the wolf Pack here. Yeah, they have

697
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: yukon next week, so it's not a look ahead spot

698
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 1: for NC State, though Clemson in a cuple weeks, I

699
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: think it's October first what I'm seeing here, So that's

700
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: not a big situation to look at. NC State Lock

701
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 1: of the week for Dan Rubins. Really yeah, Louck of

702
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: the week, emotional win, what double ot win over Houston travel,

703
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 1: NC State getting it back together. I don't love, love,

704
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 1: love Tim Beck in huge games. I don't know it's

705
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 1: a huge game. I think it's a routine win. I

706
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,919
Speaker 1: don't love the offense for NC State the way it's

707
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: it's drawn up. All that much. I think they can

708
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 1: move the ball against Texas Tech. I have them winning

709
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 1: this game thirty four to seventeen. Can I get in

710
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 1: on this walk with you? Oh my god, the double barrel?

711
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:39,760
Speaker 1: Can I get in with you? Is that? Okay? Please

712
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 1: do it? Yeah, I go for it. Lock of the Week.

713
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 1: You're talking me into it. But you're you're mister gumpy, right,

714
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: you're mister Texas Tech is going to disrupt. They're they're

715
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: the startup disruptors of college football in twenty twenty two.

716
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 2: They beat they beat Houston. Yeah, they beat Houston. They'll

717
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,439
Speaker 2: beat somebody else into Big twelve. I'm not saying they're

718
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 2: going twelve and oh, nine and three, even eight and four,

719
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 2: but this is a scenario for them that is not favorable.

720
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: Okay, So you're jumping off the kittley catamaran.

721
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,280
Speaker 2: Yeah I am, okay, just briefly.

722
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: You'll swim back.

723
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 2: Seven point thirty ABC, Michigan State on the Road at Washington.

724
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 1: Weird weird vibes from this matchup is centaur match But

725
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 1: if I've ever heard one, tie, I gotta find the sound.

726
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: I'm stalling.

727
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 2: He gives me the willies.

728
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: It's like a centaur is doing pillow talk with you. Tie.

729
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 2: That's like that delapisaurus that spit all over Newman in

730
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 2: Jurassic Park. It makes that kind of sound.

731
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: Good reference.

732
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, neutral field, I've got. Michigan State is an eight

733
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 2: point favorite in this game.

734
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 1: Can you believe that there's a weird swing to this?

735
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, weird swing. This game is in Seattle. I would

736
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 2: still have Michigan State favored by like five points if

737
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 2: I were setting the odds. So at least to that end,

738
00:37:55,480 --> 00:38:00,439
Speaker 2: a Washington minus three line is like eight points off

739
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 2: of what I would expect. So the puzzle is Washington.

740
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,720
Speaker 2: The puzzle is Washington played Kent State and Portland State,

741
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 2: and good luck trying to convert those statistics over to

742
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 2: projections while playing a Big ten opponent like Michigan State.

743
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 2: I don't know how the hell you do that. I'm

744
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 2: sure Bill Connolly's got away, but I don't know how

745
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 2: to do it.

746
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: That is the puzzle for me. Okay.

747
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 2: I looked far and wide to see what other points

748
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 2: of reference I have.

749
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:31,879
Speaker 1: There aren't many.

750
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 2: Michael Penix played Michigan State twice while he was in Indiana,

751
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 2: once in twenty nineteen, once in twenty twenty in both

752
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 2: cases he lit him up, but obviously obviously a lot's

753
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 2: changed since then. Yeah, what I know is that this

754
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 2: offense is going to be better with Kaylin Deboorr running things.

755
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 1: I think we've already seen that.

756
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,280
Speaker 2: I'm just not sure how much better and how quickly

757
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 2: it could get there, especially against a team like in

758
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 2: Michigan State for this week. It's a huge unknown. I

759
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 2: have no idea. I think Michigan State is more playmaker.

760
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 2: I think so, and I think I trust Meltucker more

761
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 2: in a game like this than I do Kalin Debor.

762
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 2: But this is a crazy, weird matchup that scares the

763
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 2: crap out of me.

764
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: Watching a tough place to play. That place can get loud.

765
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: This is the first big game of the season. I

766
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: think people are energized for the Debora, the Debor era.

767
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: That's good. That's pretty good. That's good. I like it.

768
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: I do like that. Look, Michigan State is probably good,

769
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:28,280
Speaker 1: Washington is maybe good. We've got a double centaur matchup.

770
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 1: I'm leaning Michigan State, though I did have cause for

771
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: pause and looking at some of the stories this week.

772
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 1: Did you see the thing about Peyton Thorn and the

773
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:39,399
Speaker 1: Sleep Bank. This sleep Bank. They were told they could

774
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: not sleep more than thirty minutes on their flight west

775
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: as they were adjusting to the Pacific time zone. And

776
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: then he said, it's a sleep bank thing. Look it up.

777
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: Sleep bank, Michigan State adhering to something called and look,

778
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 1: it might be extremely legit or it might be bogus.

779
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not a fancy scientist, but I

780
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: know that Michigan State is all in on maximizing their

781
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 1: sleep bank as they adjust to the Pacific time zone,

782
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: sort of like a body clock situation, if you will.

783
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if that makes you think more highly

784
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: of Michigan State that they're taking this kind of this

785
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:20,320
Speaker 1: kind of matchup far away from East landsing seriously.

786
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,320
Speaker 2: Sleep Bank told me that quote one more time.

787
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: Sleep Okay. You want me to find you the exact

788
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:26,399
Speaker 1: Peyton Thorn quote.

789
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 2: If it's easy for you to find, But I okay,

790
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 2: sleep Bank.

791
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: I feel like.

792
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 2: I feel like sleep science these days. I mean, we

793
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 2: had the LSU sleep pods thing as an attraction that

794
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 2: we talked about a few years ago, and sleep is

795
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 2: obviously very important. I've never heard sleep bank.

796
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: Okay. Peyton Thorn a native This is from I'm gonna

797
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: this is from m live yep in Michigan. I think

798
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,720
Speaker 1: the farthest past Illinois I've been is Iowa out west,

799
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: Thorn said on Tuesday, that's uncharted territory for me out there.

800
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 1: The process players, Okay, so Michigan State is saying that

801
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:08,240
Speaker 1: they are asked to Michigan State is asking their players

802
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 1: to go to sleep an hour earlier each night this

803
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 1: week in preparation for the travel. The process players said

804
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,280
Speaker 1: is called quote sleep banking. It's a theory that extra

805
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 1: rest will help lead to peak performance. Now, I'm a

806
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 1: big believer in that. As an elite athlete, tie, I'm

807
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: always a big believer in maximizing sleep. I have a

808
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: huge match for sure. But you start getting into terms.

809
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: I never love terms like sleep bank. Oh, I don't

810
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: like this at all. As Andrew in the comments watching

811
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 1: along Live said sleep bank Saturday, I appreciate sleeping a major,

812
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 1: major performance deal. We're all better off sleeping more than

813
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 1: we are. Probably I would never be able to do this.

814
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 1: I couldn't go to bed two hours early. Yeah, I

815
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 1: would not be able to do this. I would wake up.

816
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:58,439
Speaker 2: I would be a monster. I would be the centaur sound.

817
00:41:58,480 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: Don't play it.

818
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,879
Speaker 2: Don't play that sound again with this one. No, don't

819
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 2: put I'm editing it out. That's what I would be.

820
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 2: I would not be able to do this.

821
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.

822
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 2: So I'm worried. I'm worried about my Michigan State pick.

823
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: Sleep bank it. I think Sleep's a great thing, So

824
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: I'm actually gonna lean into it. Ty. I have no

825
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: idea if it's real or focus. I'd have no clue.

826
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 1: I could research more, but I'm just not going to.

827
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 1: I'm going with Michigan State here really more because I

828
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: trust Peyton Thorn with the rhythm of this team. I

829
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 1: trust Meltucker, I trust the transfers being worked in seamlessly,

830
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 1: probably more so than where Washington's roster is at the moment.

831
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: But I think Washington's gonna be pretty good. I do

832
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:44,399
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be good this weekend. I think they're

833
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 1: gonna be good, pretty good overall. I just think it's

834
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: asking a lot against a Michigan State team who is

835
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,439
Speaker 1: a just ahead. They're just ahead right now. Tough place

836
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: to play, don't love haven't loved what they've looked like

837
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 1: on the road at times these past couple of years.

838
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: But I haven't loved, but Washington has looked like on

839
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 1: the road these past couple of years.

840
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 2: So yeah, all right, we're going double Michigan State here,

841
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 2: the double Michigan State nine PM, ESPN, Miami at Texas

842
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,760
Speaker 2: A and M fun game here A and M favored

843
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 2: by five. The lines come down a little bit. It

844
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 2: is time to talk about the great eight and fortification

845
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 2: of Texas A and M eight. Okay, eight and fornication.

846
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: Okay, if you're listening with children right now, Tie is

847
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 1: about to get way more graphic than he ever has.

848
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, if Jimbo goes eight and four with this roster,

849
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 2: it's going to be like the scene and Ghostbusters where

850
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 2: the grid breaks down and all hell breaks loose. Eight

851
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 2: and four with this roster, with all of the off

852
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 2: season expectations. Mm hmm, what is going to happen to

853
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 2: Jimbo Fisher in College station? Would they consider getting rid

854
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:57,240
Speaker 2: of them?

855
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 1: Depends where the oil price is? Are the pass for you?

856
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 1: Depends where the oil prices are? I guess that's the

857
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: old joke, the old goof man eight and four? Is

858
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:15,319
Speaker 1: it because you think they're paying him an eight in fortune? No? Yes,

859
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 1: not bad. It's not bad. Eight and Fortland is that

860
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:20,399
Speaker 1: where they're living.

861
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 2: I said fornication wrong when I said eight and for

862
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 2: in a pepation or something.

863
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, just lean into it.

864
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 2: The world's going to be on Miami here after last week,

865
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,720
Speaker 2: the lines already come down. I am not convinced Miami

866
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 2: can run it against Texas A and M. And you

867
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 2: know the essence of crystal ball better than I do.

868
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 2: But you know he wants to play gorilla ball. He

869
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 2: wants to beat your brains, and he wants to use

870
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 2: his offensive line to.

871
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 1: Great a vail. Yeah.

872
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 2: One of the reasons that I was excited about Maria

873
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 2: christ Ball coming down to Miami is because I believe

874
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,920
Speaker 2: he can instill that type of mentality, and I believe

875
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:54,320
Speaker 2: they've got at least enough on the roster to mostly

876
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 2: run that system against their schedule. But I don't know

877
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,439
Speaker 2: if A and M is a team that I would

878
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 2: group in there. They're still pretty good up front, and

879
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 2: so I'm a little bit worried here. I'm a little

880
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 2: bit worried that what I think Miami wants to do,

881
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:10,319
Speaker 2: they won't be able to. Okay, that's a problem. The

882
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 2: other counterpoint, obviously, is a AM stinks on offense right now.

883
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: They stick on offense.

884
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 2: You know, a lot a lot's been made of app

885
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 2: State winning that game, and rightfully so, great win for

886
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 2: app State on the road, seventeen to fourteen. What reason

887
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 2: do we have to believe that the A and M

888
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,359
Speaker 2: offense is suddenly going to come alive here after what

889
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 2: we saw last week? Keep in mind, this is an

890
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 2: app State defense that, while vaunted and held down A

891
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 2: and M, gave up sixty three points to North Carolina

892
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,400
Speaker 2: a week prior. Correct, So we're not talking about the

893
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 2: eighty five bears out there. We're talking about a team

894
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,360
Speaker 2: that gave up a ton of points to an offense

895
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 2: that shouldn't be as good as Texas A and M,

896
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 2: but it is. So I don't know what to believe here.

897
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 2: This is a big dumb conservative football game that I

898
00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 2: think somebody wins twenty six to twenty five, or a

899
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:03,240
Speaker 2: weird score agami that nobody's familiar with, no one's seen before.

900
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 2: I'm taking points. I'm not gonna overthink it. I'm taking

901
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 2: the points. My central belief here, more so than anything else,

902
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 2: is that the Jimbo offense is gonna be weird and

903
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,720
Speaker 2: conservative and is not that good under Haynes King, despite

904
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 2: the fact that it should be better Miami plus five.

905
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 1: I'm taking A and M and I'm gonna tell you why.

906
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with my and the theory didn't work

907
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 1: out for Iowa and my pig against Iowa State. But

908
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 1: I think that was Texas A and M's worst day

909
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 1: relative to opponent, relative to situation, relative to them hosting

910
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: that game, relative to having the health that they had

911
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season. I think that was

912
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 1: their worst day. I think that was their early wake

913
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 1: up call because they're not in an Iowa situation where

914
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 1: even though philosophically I think A and M is behind

915
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 1: the times, they are not where Iowa is, just in

916
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 1: terms of quarterback, just in terms of coaching philosophy, just

917
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 1: in terms of receiver health. There's a lot more going

918
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 1: for A and M on offense put in maybe someday

919
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 1: last week. But if you had to bet on one

920
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 1: of these teams getting their act together and ascending to decent,

921
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:12,320
Speaker 1: it's probably A and M over Iowa. Yes, yeah, Okay,

922
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: So we know what Mario Cristaball wants to do with Miami.

923
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 1: He has a pretty good, if not good quarterback who

924
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:21,240
Speaker 1: was a little bit off last week against Southern Miss.

925
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,359
Speaker 1: They're beat up at running back if I have looked

926
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 1: at reports correctly, but they have a couple of good ones.

927
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:29,359
Speaker 1: I think it's Henry Parrish, who had another good game

928
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 1: against Southern Miss. Went over one hundred yards. Yeah, Tyler

929
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 1: Van Dyke was a little bit off, especially early, and

930
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 1: they were just off as a team early against Southern Miss.

931
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 1: I'm going A and M here. I'm going A and

932
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 1: M because I think it will be relatively close for

933
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 1: a large chunk of this game. And I don't trust

934
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 1: a first year coach in Mario Cristobal with not his

935
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: guys and philosophically what he's going to try to do

936
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:56,280
Speaker 1: in this game. I think Dj Dirkin can out scheme

937
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: him and figure out what Miami is trying to do,

938
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 1: and as good as is and can be at his best,

939
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:05,760
Speaker 1: I think there's enough at A and M to really

940
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:09,720
Speaker 1: limit him in this spot. Okay, So I disagree, We disagree,

941
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:11,759
Speaker 1: So we disagree. I'm going A and M. I think

942
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,399
Speaker 1: there is a certain amount of within the locker room.

943
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: A and M has been the laughing stock of the

944
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:19,360
Speaker 1: past few days and it can bury a season, or

945
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 1: it can help a program dig in its heels and

946
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: say it's US versus the world, right, that there is

947
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 1: something about nobody believes in us. Silence the doubters, blah

948
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 1: baty blah, they think we're a joke, and then they

949
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 1: drop thirty eight on Miami or something like that. A

950
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 1: very much work in progress Miami with really interesting, good

951
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:37,799
Speaker 1: players on both sides of the ball. I would be

952
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 1: a little bit more excited if there were a real

953
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:45,359
Speaker 1: dangerous receiver that has jumped out for Miami to sort

954
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 1: of change the gravity of this offense. You know, it's

955
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 1: that Xavier Ristrepo has been that guy sort of. But no,

956
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 1: that's what worries me a little bit about Miami in

957
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:56,840
Speaker 1: this specific spot. I think they're going to be in

958
00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 1: a good place overall under Mario Cristobal, but now this

959
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 1: is what game three something like that. Yeah, I think

960
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,360
Speaker 1: it's smarter to go I in m here. Yeah, I

961
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 1: get that logic, and I wavered on this one. I

962
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,359
Speaker 1: just think this could end up being a really conservative,

963
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: dumb football game.

964
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 2: Sure played close to the line of scrimmage on both sides, and.

965
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 1: I'll take points.

966
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 2: I'll take points that feels like it's been a theme

967
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:25,439
Speaker 2: through the first two weeks. Just take the points. Don't

968
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:27,400
Speaker 2: even think about take the points. By the way you

969
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 2: brought up Iowa, and I did want to call this

970
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:32,480
Speaker 2: out because Travis May on our website writes sneaky stats

971
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:36,240
Speaker 2: that go live every Wednesday morning speaking of the Iowa offense,

972
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 2: because we probably won't talk about the Iowa Nevada game

973
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 2: unless you have a burning desire to do so. Quote,

974
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 2: Iowa has successfully built the least efficient offense of the

975
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:51,840
Speaker 2: century dan mm two two point eight yards per play.

976
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:55,840
Speaker 2: It is a full half yard point five six yards

977
00:49:55,880 --> 00:50:03,760
Speaker 2: excuse me per play, worse than any FBS team this millennium,

978
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 2: this millennium.

979
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:06,280
Speaker 1: Are you about to talk Iowa Nevada.

980
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 2: I'm not talking Iowa Nevada. Oh okay, only this year's

981
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 2: UMass squad comes anywhere near being as inefficient and awful

982
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 2: as the Hawkeye offense. Going out to seliverbl dot com

983
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:23,319
Speaker 2: reed Travis's piece, Yeah, always instructive. Iowa's offense, in case

984
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:25,799
Speaker 2: you were wondering, is very bad, very bad.

985
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 1: Favored by three touchdowns, they haven't scored anything more than

986
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 1: one touchdown the whole season, right, correct, But look at

987
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 1: that correctly.

988
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 2: Okay, unless you count the gentleman's touchdown.

989
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:40,360
Speaker 1: The gentleman's touchdown, let's move on.

990
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 2: Okay, twelve o'clock Eastern time, ESPN Georgia minus twenty four

991
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:50,799
Speaker 2: on the road at South Carolina. B lock of the Week,

992
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:57,880
Speaker 2: Dan Rubinstein, give me a quick update, if you could,

993
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 2: on the status of South Carolina's offensive line. Has it

994
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 2: gotten appreciably better in the first couple weeks of the season.

995
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 1: Yes, no, no. I couldn't tell you how to spell

996
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 1: dilapidated off the top of my head, but that's how

997
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 1: I might characterize it.

998
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 2: They cannot set this line high enough. Dog, give me

999
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:19,280
Speaker 2: Georgia minus whatever on the road in Columbia, South Carolina,

1000
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:22,359
Speaker 2: because that front is gonna eat and they're gonna eat.

1001
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 1: Well, do you worry that this is the exact spot

1002
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 1: historically where South Carolina? No, this is the exact spot. No.

1003
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:32,720
Speaker 2: Never, Georgia has.

1004
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,320
Speaker 1: Everything going for it, and here come the low liol

1005
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 1: game cocks. No, okay, I have Georgia minus. I think

1006
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:44,280
Speaker 1: as well. I'm just I'm cognizant. At least I'm aware

1007
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:49,320
Speaker 1: of the dust in the ether, the cock dust. It's Settle, Settle,

1008
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: I'm just in South Carolina, Settle, all right, all right,

1009
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:55,560
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm mindful. Like I talked about at the

1010
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:55,880
Speaker 1: top of.

1011
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 2: The show, Swell PM Eastern, ESPN two low key the

1012
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 2: best game of the friggin day. Purdue on the road

1013
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 2: at Syracuse. Syracuse a one point favorite. This line is

1014
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 2: bobbled around back and forth here. The numbers interesting, to

1015
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 2: say the least. It is about what I expected. I

1016
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 2: just want to pick Syracuse. I want to pick Syracuse here.

1017
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:18,840
Speaker 2: I don't care if I'm wrong. We've been saying it

1018
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 2: for years. But the JMA Wireless Dome, I can't get

1019
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 2: through it. That's where teams go to die.

1020
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.

1021
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 2: Give me Cus minus whatever.

1022
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:30,840
Speaker 1: Do either one of these old I guess specifically Syracuse.

1023
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 1: It's their favor by a point. It looks like at

1024
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:38,240
Speaker 1: the moment, yeah, yeah, Syracuse has Virginia next week. Okay,

1025
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 1: so they're not panicking about an upcoming giant. I think

1026
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 1: I'm on Cus. But their centaur potential here, yeah that

1027
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 1: they're looking strong, meaty flanks of a thoroughbred. Early on,

1028
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:51,320
Speaker 1: defense has been very, very good under Tony White, running

1029
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 1: the hell out of the ball, I haven't played teams.

1030
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:57,320
Speaker 1: I mean, sorry, Louisville, I haven't played teams. I'm riding

1031
00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 1: with the q's.

1032
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 2: Thank you to thirty NBC slash Peacock. I don't know

1033
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:08,759
Speaker 2: what that means. I don't like that cal at Notre Dame,

1034
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:13,919
Speaker 2: Notre Dame favored by eleven mm hmm.

1035
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 1: How do you feel about this game?

1036
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 2: I like cal Oh, baby, give me, give me the

1037
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:21,760
Speaker 2: Golden Bears plus the points.

1038
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 1: Baby. I could do a full show on this.

1039
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 2: Actually I did kind of do a full show on this,

1040
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 2: because earlier this morning, Pete Sampson Matt Fortuna were kind

1041
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 2: enough to invite me on the Shamrock their podcast, Notre

1042
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 2: Dame podcast over on the Athletic, which is more of

1043
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:39,439
Speaker 2: a therapy session than anything else. But yeah, we talked

1044
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:44,399
Speaker 2: through some things here about this game and Tyler bucking

1045
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:49,720
Speaker 2: her out for the year Drew Pin's offense, which means

1046
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:51,720
Speaker 2: you and I have already started work shopping the punts

1047
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 2: for Steve Angeli the backup, have we not?

1048
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 1: Yeah? I don't even remember what was my line.

1049
00:53:57,600 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 2: You said, I don't think you're ready for Angelly.

1050
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't I think you're ready for ANGELI yeah,

1051
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:05,840
Speaker 1: my Booty Delicious reference. As I always try to squeeze

1052
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 1: Booty Delicious into anything I can. I'm going I'm going Cal,

1053
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 1: just because I don't know that I would go Notre

1054
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 1: Dame with Tyler Buckner. I don't know, like as you

1055
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 1: were watching the Marshall game. Now, was he hurt going

1056
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:24,880
Speaker 1: into the Marshall game and then he just tried to

1057
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:26,400
Speaker 1: play through pain. I don't know. I didn't know he

1058
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 1: took a shot. He took a shot in the Marshall game,

1059
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:30,840
Speaker 1: specifically because he did take some shots in the Ohio

1060
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 1: State game as well. Correct, But as you were watching

1061
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 1: that game, as you were watching that offense, if I

1062
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 1: were to begin a conversation with you, like, they're playing

1063
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 1: a Cal team who's probably not that good next week,

1064
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:45,560
Speaker 1: but what they do specialize in is confusing quarterbacks and

1065
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:48,720
Speaker 1: making them think an extra tick before throwing the ball.

1066
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 1: Do you like Notre Dame against that justin Wilcox Cal team,

1067
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 1: you probably in that moment, Tyler Buckner at full health

1068
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 1: would have said, I don't know if I like Notre Dame.

1069
00:54:57,760 --> 00:54:59,279
Speaker 1: I don't know if I like Notre Dame in this

1070
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 1: offensive line in that spot, and I don't know. So

1071
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 1: with a better quarterback situation or a more experienced Tyler

1072
00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 1: Buckner like whatever version he is next year or the

1073
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:12,279
Speaker 1: year after, I think Notre Dame is a relatively easy pick.

1074
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:16,160
Speaker 1: But no, the only saving grace would be it would

1075
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 1: be extremely college football for in his first start against

1076
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,160
Speaker 1: a real team. I believe this is Drew Pines's first

1077
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:25,400
Speaker 1: start against like a real team. He looks awesome and

1078
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:28,120
Speaker 1: they win by two touchdowns, and then he is awful

1079
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 1: a year long after that. I could see some potential

1080
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:34,239
Speaker 1: for that. Cal does things really well on defense. That's

1081
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:37,400
Speaker 1: been them for justin Wilcox. They play good defense, and

1082
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 1: so I think, and is what I said to Pete Matt,

1083
00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 1: I think on that level, given that Notre Dame has

1084
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 1: had so much trouble with its offensive line, this is

1085
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:49,319
Speaker 1: another good test for that unit up front to get

1086
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 1: its act together. Because Cal pretty much has defense figured out.

1087
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:56,640
Speaker 1: They're good at that, and so I think this is

1088
00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 1: an opportunity for them to go up against quality defense

1089
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 1: of app it get their act together. It will definitely

1090
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:04,680
Speaker 1: show us a lot about what we have here with

1091
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 1: Drew Pine. So I'm looking forward to that matchup. Even

1092
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 1: though I think it could be one that gives Notre

1093
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 1: Dame some trouble. Cal doesn't play offense.

1094
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 2: They don't play offense, so like one hundred and twenty

1095
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:18,640
Speaker 2: fourth nationally in offense, they still have not figured out

1096
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 2: that side of the football. And so this is also

1097
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 2: a matchup that I think will be good for Notre

1098
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:26,240
Speaker 2: Dame's defense, if only because the defense has been relied

1099
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 2: upon so heavily through the first two games to make

1100
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:32,399
Speaker 2: plays to get stops. This should hopefully be a chance

1101
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:34,520
Speaker 2: for them to catch their breath because I don't think

1102
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:35,440
Speaker 2: Cal's that good at offense.

1103
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 1: Jade not, by the way, pretty good running back, low key,

1104
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:40,000
Speaker 1: very good running back in the Pac twelve for Cal.

1105
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 2: I think there is no universe in which I am

1106
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:44,759
Speaker 2: not taking Cal plus the points here. Okay, just too

1107
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:47,759
Speaker 2: many unknowns for Notre Dame. And it could be one

1108
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:50,239
Speaker 2: of those deals as you described, where Drew Pine comes

1109
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 2: out throws for three to fifty. Looks awesome, Suddenly new

1110
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,720
Speaker 2: receivers are getting involved, everybody's very excited.

1111
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:58,759
Speaker 1: And then yeah, I mean that could be a tale

1112
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 1: of two halves as well. Looks great for the first

1113
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:03,720
Speaker 1: half of them. Could see on the table.

1114
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 2: We agree Old Miss minus sixteen and one half points

1115
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:11,080
Speaker 2: on the road at Georgia Tech three thirty ABC. Luke

1116
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:15,799
Speaker 2: Altmeyer got the start last week in the low key

1117
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 2: Old Bis quarterback battle, but he left the game looked

1118
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 2: like a shoulder injury. I did not see an update,

1119
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:24,800
Speaker 2: but YadA, YadA, YadA. Jackson Dark came in look pretty good.

1120
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 2: I'm assuming it is his job to lose at this point.

1121
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 2: I like Old Miss a lot here, don't. I don't

1122
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 2: really see the appeal and going Georgia Tech other than

1123
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 2: the fact that the game is in Atlanta.

1124
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:39,200
Speaker 1: You're talking about the Old Miss game against Central Arkansas.

1125
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 2: When Jackson Dark came in in relief for Luke Altmeyer,

1126
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:43,040
Speaker 2: he looked pretty good.

1127
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:45,840
Speaker 1: Oh no, he looked very good. I'm just saying it's

1128
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:48,080
Speaker 1: a centaur team right now at this point, where like, yeah,

1129
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 1: the score is indicate you know they were. He was

1130
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:53,440
Speaker 1: not sharp against I think they had Troy their first game.

1131
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:57,800
Speaker 1: He was not especially sharp. I want to take Georgia Tech.

1132
00:57:57,880 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 1: I want to like you, Georgia Tech. But the reason

1133
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:04,560
Speaker 1: for taking Georgia Tech is they kind of hung around

1134
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:07,920
Speaker 1: with Clemson in week one. But I still don't necessarily

1135
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:10,760
Speaker 1: feel all that good about anything on offense with Georgia Tech.

1136
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:14,040
Speaker 1: And at the same time, we're just sort of penciling

1137
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:17,400
Speaker 1: in Ole Miss as similar to what they were last year,

1138
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:20,000
Speaker 1: and I don't think they are. I think they're I mean,

1139
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 1: I think Zach Evans is good, and I think Georgia

1140
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:24,040
Speaker 1: Tech will key in on Zach Evans and make Jackson

1141
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 1: Dart in the passing game be the feature in this game.

1142
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:29,960
Speaker 1: But I couldn't find that reason for Georgia Tech. I

1143
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 1: just I couldn't find that appreciable reason. So I'm going

1144
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 1: to Old Miss here to win big because I couldn't

1145
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:37,400
Speaker 1: find it that it might exist. They might win this

1146
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:38,840
Speaker 1: game out right, it's at home. They might win this

1147
00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:40,440
Speaker 1: game by a touchdown. It might lose this game by

1148
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:42,920
Speaker 1: a touchdown. But I couldn't put my finger on the

1149
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 1: specific reason to take Georgia Tech, so I'm underthinking it.

1150
00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 2: I think Old Miss could end up being better this

1151
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 2: year than they were last year.

1152
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 1: Damn they were really good last year. I am.

1153
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:56,000
Speaker 2: I am very high on Old Biss, and I'm trying

1154
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:57,320
Speaker 2: to contain myself.

1155
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 1: Even though they might not like you. I think Jackson

1156
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 1: Dart is like, oh guy, I don't you think, so,

1157
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:08,120
Speaker 1: I don't know yet. I'm it's a leading question. I

1158
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 1: understand that.

1159
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:12,480
Speaker 2: I don't know yet, but I think this team has

1160
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:15,520
Speaker 2: a lot of potential. I am very excited to see

1161
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 2: what happens in this football game because I have questions. Honestly,

1162
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:22,720
Speaker 2: why the linees sound a little bit higher. I could

1163
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 2: see them winning by a lot more than sixteen and

1164
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 2: a half points.

1165
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:26,600
Speaker 1: Totally.

1166
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:30,160
Speaker 2: We will find out a lot more about ole Miss

1167
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:35,760
Speaker 2: by December. Certainly, by December, as always. By December, as.

1168
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:37,760
Speaker 1: Always, we're gonna know a lot more about this LSU

1169
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 1: squad by December.

1170
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:42,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, but as we get into October, the schedule starts

1171
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 2: to pick up steam. In October Kentucky in October on

1172
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:49,320
Speaker 2: the road at LSU, there's an A and M game,

1173
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:51,800
Speaker 2: and there's a BAMA game and an Arkansas game in

1174
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:54,720
Speaker 2: Mississippi State game all back to back to back.

1175
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:56,919
Speaker 1: A lot on your best take ever, your best take?

1176
00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 1: What going on? Yeah, so we'll see.

1177
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:04,560
Speaker 2: I'm on ole Miss here, three point thirty ESPN plus

1178
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 2: Troy at app State. They're putting the game day game

1179
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 2: on ESPN Plus.

1180
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 1: That's weak sauce, Weak sauce. Let America celebrate Cameron, People's.

1181
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:20,240
Speaker 2: Favored by twelve and a half points. So you got

1182
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:23,520
Speaker 2: the whirlwind of almost beating UNC, going on the road

1183
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 2: to knock off A and M. Now app State comes

1184
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 2: back home, they're greeted by college freakin game Day and

1185
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 2: rewarded by the game on ESPN plus. How about that

1186
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:36,760
Speaker 2: and the Troy Trojans And the Troy Trojans. I happened

1187
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:39,680
Speaker 2: to like Troy a lot this year. They were an

1188
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:43,520
Speaker 2: aggressive half team last season, probably headed there again this

1189
01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 2: year for being honest. But it's a very good defense,

1190
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 2: and I think that makes them dangerous enough in a

1191
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:54,920
Speaker 2: potential letdown spot here for app State. And they actually

1192
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:56,920
Speaker 2: did do a pretty good job containing Ole Miss in

1193
01:00:56,960 --> 01:01:00,080
Speaker 2: Week one, for whatever that's worth. So I don't think

1194
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:02,760
Speaker 2: Troy wins, But twelve and a half is the number.

1195
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 2: That's a lot of points in a potential that down spot.

1196
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:07,960
Speaker 2: I'm on Troy here plus the number plus twelve and

1197
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:09,520
Speaker 2: a half against app State.

1198
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:13,080
Speaker 1: Okay. I was in that line of thinking as well

1199
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:17,160
Speaker 1: last year in Troy forty five to seven APP State,

1200
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:20,760
Speaker 1: the year before that in boone forty seven to ten

1201
01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:25,000
Speaker 1: APP State, the year before that in Troy app State

1202
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:28,800
Speaker 1: forty eight Troy thirteen. So they've scored one hundred and

1203
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:33,200
Speaker 1: forty points or something these last three years. I don't know, ty,

1204
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:39,480
Speaker 1: recent history does not predict current present results accurately necessarily,

1205
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 1: But but I really like Sean Clark. I really like

1206
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:47,360
Speaker 1: this app State team, So I'm picking with my heart

1207
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:48,840
Speaker 1: and I like app State big. I think there's just

1208
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:51,600
Speaker 1: gonna be too much juice in boone, So yeah, give

1209
01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:52,880
Speaker 1: me the Mountaineers.

1210
01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:57,280
Speaker 2: Big four o'clock ESPNU Kansas at Houston. Did you ever

1211
01:01:57,320 --> 01:01:58,800
Speaker 2: think we'd mentioned this game.

1212
01:01:59,080 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 1: At Week three?

1213
01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:01,400
Speaker 2: If I had told you, Dan, we're going to talk

1214
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:04,240
Speaker 2: about Kansas Houston for a hot minute on our Week

1215
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 2: three preview episode, you would have called me crazy.

1216
01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 1: You just said you would have. Though I felt the

1217
01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:13,400
Speaker 1: energy that felt the Lawrence energy in August when we

1218
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:16,240
Speaker 1: were doing our Big twelve preview and the way that

1219
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:18,240
Speaker 1: they finished their year last year. I didn't see them

1220
01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:21,080
Speaker 1: necessarily coming out right away and beating West Virginia on

1221
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:23,440
Speaker 1: the road in the way that they did, scoring I

1222
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 1: think fifty five with the walk off pick six. But no,

1223
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:28,840
Speaker 1: I would not have expected it to be in this

1224
01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:29,760
Speaker 1: part of our preview.

1225
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:32,959
Speaker 2: I am going Kansas here. I am going Kansas because

1226
01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:35,560
Speaker 2: I want to, and apparently a lot of people do

1227
01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 2: as well. Because I saw this line earlier in the

1228
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:39,800
Speaker 2: week at ten ten and a half. It's down to

1229
01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 2: eight and a half points. The line has moved significantly.

1230
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:46,080
Speaker 2: It has been a rough two weeks for Houston, a

1231
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:49,360
Speaker 2: really rough two weeks for Houston, which otherwise is I

1232
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:52,880
Speaker 2: think a very good football team. I believe Kansas can

1233
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:56,040
Speaker 2: score points. I believe they can score points. I don't

1234
01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:58,280
Speaker 2: know what else they can do. There may not be

1235
01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:01,640
Speaker 2: a whole lot else, but this is a plucky Kansas team.

1236
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 2: They are frisky. Not go win a lot of games

1237
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 2: with their frisky. Yeah, I like Jalen Daniels a lot.

1238
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:12,840
Speaker 2: I'm going points Kansas plus eight and a half.

1239
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 1: I have Houston minus eight and a half. I think

1240
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:19,960
Speaker 1: Houston's a better team. I think we're probably over inflating Kansas.

1241
01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 2: Just as Mitch, Yes we are, we are.

1242
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:25,760
Speaker 1: And so this might be an ample opportunity to like, oh,

1243
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:29,560
Speaker 1: Kansas lost thirty eight thirteen. This might be that moment.

1244
01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:32,760
Speaker 1: And I always appreciate when you reference the sharps in Vegas,

1245
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:37,880
Speaker 1: because one a decision to bet on college football full time,

1246
01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:42,160
Speaker 1: not a good decision, not a good decision. And two

1247
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:44,560
Speaker 1: when you actually like drill down and speak to the

1248
01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 1: people who bet on sports and college football specifically full time,

1249
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:49,640
Speaker 1: like how much money do you sort of average out

1250
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:52,240
Speaker 1: betting on this full time? Like, well, I make about

1251
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 1: forty four thousand a year.

1252
01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:55,640
Speaker 2: Like what the sharps, by the way are on Houston,

1253
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:56,240
Speaker 2: they're with you?

1254
01:03:56,760 --> 01:03:59,360
Speaker 1: Okay, good, But I just I don't put a ton

1255
01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:03,040
Speaker 1: of weight on that unless we're talking about crazy successful

1256
01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 1: ones who have hookups within programs everywhere, which you know

1257
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:08,440
Speaker 1: the successful ones do to find out about injury stuff.

1258
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:12,080
Speaker 1: But I still am I'm always wary of saying, well,

1259
01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:14,520
Speaker 1: it's what everybody's hammering, that doesn't matter.

1260
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:20,440
Speaker 2: Seven thirty ESPNU Ties, Third block of the week. Block

1261
01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 2: of the week, give me them Pitt Panthers Dan on

1262
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:29,080
Speaker 2: the road at Western Michigan. We've got a revenge game.

1263
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:32,600
Speaker 2: Pit favored by ten and a half. Western I think

1264
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:33,640
Speaker 2: is kind of bad.

1265
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:38,720
Speaker 1: I like Pitt. I still like Pitt. Yeah, who's their

1266
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 1: third string quarterback? Tie? I like Lock of the week.

1267
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:44,120
Speaker 1: Is Pitt's third string quarterback? You better tell me his

1268
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:45,880
Speaker 1: name because he might be starting.

1269
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:48,920
Speaker 2: Pitt minus ten and a half give me it. Okay,

1270
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:50,600
Speaker 2: I'm dead lock Inlchigan.

1271
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:55,400
Speaker 1: I'm taking Wes, absolutely taking Western Michigan in a road Kalamazoo.

1272
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:58,680
Speaker 1: Letdown spot for pitt who might be down, Nick Patty

1273
01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 1: and Ketan Slovas. I've seen the latest news. We're recording

1274
01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:05,360
Speaker 1: this on Wednesday midday, but it feels like a bit

1275
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:08,120
Speaker 1: of a letdown injured spot in Kalamazoo. I don't think

1276
01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:11,120
Speaker 1: Western Michigan's all that good. I saw after the game

1277
01:05:11,160 --> 01:05:14,479
Speaker 1: the key Slovis was okay, I saw that shirt.

1278
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:15,640
Speaker 2: No, I'm not sure.

1279
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:16,439
Speaker 1: I'm not sure.

1280
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:18,320
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go and look that up right now.

1281
01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:21,920
Speaker 1: There were moments where the pit offensive line said, what

1282
01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:24,320
Speaker 1: if we give this Tennessee edge guy free run at

1283
01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:28,960
Speaker 1: our quarterback? Multiple times? I don't know. I think it's

1284
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:34,720
Speaker 1: a lot h what'd you say? It was ten eighteen,

1285
01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:37,280
Speaker 1: ten and a half? What so was it eleven and

1286
01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:38,880
Speaker 1: a half? It was at eleven and a half, So

1287
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:39,640
Speaker 1: people are are.

1288
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:42,400
Speaker 2: It was high, it was higher, and now it's come down.

1289
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,040
Speaker 2: So you're a bandwagon jumper. It's fine, it's fine to

1290
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:47,400
Speaker 2: be there. I'm not I didn't know it came down

1291
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:50,200
Speaker 2: to you're listed spread here at eleven and a half.

1292
01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:51,960
Speaker 1: I have an updated sheet that I go off of.

1293
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:54,640
Speaker 1: I did an update. Thank you, thank you so much

1294
01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:55,520
Speaker 1: for your consideration.

1295
01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:58,080
Speaker 2: It's the only chance I have to catch you off guard.

1296
01:05:58,160 --> 01:05:59,040
Speaker 2: So that's what I stick to.

1297
01:05:59,440 --> 01:06:05,680
Speaker 1: Okay, we disagree, yet again disagree. UTSA at Texas.

1298
01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:07,920
Speaker 2: Eight pm, Longhorn Network, Texas favored by twelve and a half.

1299
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:13,000
Speaker 1: Dan Or Yet I'm going road runners me. Really, who's

1300
01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:18,080
Speaker 1: starting at quarterback for Texas? Somebody who probably hasn't thrown

1301
01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:21,640
Speaker 1: any college footballs. I haven't seen Hudson card status.

1302
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:25,000
Speaker 2: I know he was day to day, Yeah, so he

1303
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:25,960
Speaker 2: would be the preference.

1304
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:28,880
Speaker 1: But otherwise it's going to be Chazz Right, an enormous

1305
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:32,840
Speaker 1: lookdown spot, let down spot, excuse me, Yes, and it

1306
01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:35,840
Speaker 1: could be Hudson Card, a beat up Hudson Card or

1307
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:40,840
Speaker 1: a big old question mark in Chaz right. UTSA pretty

1308
01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:48,280
Speaker 1: good UTSA defense not pretty good. They give up army.

1309
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:51,160
Speaker 1: That's it's getting the way of my point here. Okay,

1310
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:54,600
Speaker 1: never mind, I'm going UTSA. I'm going UTSA here because

1311
01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:58,160
Speaker 1: I just situationally it's a letdown spot for Texas, beat

1312
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:02,160
Speaker 1: up at quarterback and and maybe believe in sort of

1313
01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:04,040
Speaker 1: the lost win. Hype like it was a loss, but

1314
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:05,560
Speaker 1: it was kind of a win. We hung with Alabama

1315
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:08,800
Speaker 1: without our starting quarterback. I'm in on utsa to lose

1316
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:09,720
Speaker 1: this game by a touchdown.

1317
01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:12,840
Speaker 2: What's the over under on snaps that Rashaan Johnson gets

1318
01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:16,160
Speaker 2: a quarterback four and a half? Were sitting in at

1319
01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:17,680
Speaker 2: four and a half. That's a good line, actually, I

1320
01:07:17,720 --> 01:07:21,920
Speaker 2: was gonna say about five. Yeah, all right, I'm going Texas.

1321
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:25,640
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go to Texas. Okay, two more games here

1322
01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:29,600
Speaker 2: very quickly. Ten thirty Fox Fresno State at USC USC

1323
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:33,440
Speaker 2: favored by twelve and a half points. A lot of

1324
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:37,200
Speaker 2: shootout potential here, Isn't there sure? A lot of shootout potential.

1325
01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:40,320
Speaker 2: I think Fresno's better than Stanford. I'm inclined to go

1326
01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:42,920
Speaker 2: Fresno here. Plus the points. I think I'm just going

1327
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 2: to keep betting the teams that can score against USC

1328
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:49,880
Speaker 2: because eventually, eventually this comes into a shootout territory with

1329
01:07:49,920 --> 01:07:55,680
Speaker 2: them and they win, but by like ten and team

1330
01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:59,000
Speaker 2: getting points covers, I'm going Forresno.

1331
01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:01,920
Speaker 1: I'm going Fresno well because I think USC has serious

1332
01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:04,320
Speaker 1: just in terms of the line, I think they have

1333
01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:09,120
Speaker 1: center potential. I think they have centur potential. So I'm

1334
01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:11,280
Speaker 1: going with USC to win this game, but Fresno to

1335
01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:13,400
Speaker 1: make it very spicy for much of this.

1336
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:17,599
Speaker 2: Game last but certainly not least Friday seven thirty ESPN,

1337
01:08:17,640 --> 01:08:20,560
Speaker 2: we travel back in time, but better do? Better do.

1338
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:23,880
Speaker 2: Florida State minus two and a half against Louisville. I

1339
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:25,679
Speaker 2: am all in on the Knowles this year.

1340
01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:28,599
Speaker 1: Yep. Same, I mean, not as much as you are,

1341
01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:30,000
Speaker 1: but I'm all in on the knowles this week.

1342
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:31,719
Speaker 2: Florida State minus two and a half.

1343
01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:35,520
Speaker 1: For me, yep. Agree. I think they are more trustworthy

1344
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:39,479
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball, and that they sold

1345
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:41,559
Speaker 1: out to stop the run last week, and you can't

1346
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:43,439
Speaker 1: sell out to stop anything with the best of what

1347
01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:46,000
Speaker 1: Florida State's offense can offer, even though still I think

1348
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:48,120
Speaker 1: a work in progress, but I just trust Florida State

1349
01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:48,800
Speaker 1: more week to week.

1350
01:08:49,960 --> 01:08:52,559
Speaker 2: There you have it, Dan, I'm looking over my picks

1351
01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:55,599
Speaker 2: right now. It appears I've taken fourteen road team, which

1352
01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:58,120
Speaker 2: is never a great recipe for success.

1353
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:01,439
Speaker 1: Yeah. I hope everybody's sleep bank in terms of those

1354
01:09:01,439 --> 01:09:03,639
Speaker 1: teams that you picked, got a bank that sleep bank

1355
01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:07,000
Speaker 1: at bank at Bankton. Some games that you missed out

1356
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:08,439
Speaker 1: on by the way that I think are just worth

1357
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:11,639
Speaker 1: paying attention to and obviously watching. If they involve your

1358
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:15,520
Speaker 1: team to lane at Kansas State, tou lane Michael Pratt

1359
01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:19,400
Speaker 1: scoring a lot of points. Kansas State trusting Asrian Martinez

1360
01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:21,320
Speaker 1: to lead a team scoring a lot of I don't

1361
01:09:21,320 --> 01:09:24,519
Speaker 1: know in Kansas State though, wearing some dope throwback helmets.

1362
01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:26,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. If you saw their old wildcat look

1363
01:09:26,880 --> 01:09:30,799
Speaker 1: a number, it looks good. Iowa minus twenty three against Nevada. Nevada,

1364
01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:33,920
Speaker 1: of course, just gave up fifty five in a losing

1365
01:09:33,920 --> 01:09:37,280
Speaker 1: effort to incarnate word, so I can understand that Nevada

1366
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:42,880
Speaker 1: is secretly on that Iowa plane of existence. I am going,

1367
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:46,479
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not picking this game, but it's it. Iowa,

1368
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:51,200
Speaker 1: weirdly is generating more interest in their team this year

1369
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:55,360
Speaker 1: by playing the way that they're playing on offense than

1370
01:09:55,439 --> 01:09:58,360
Speaker 1: I think if they were fully healthy and merely underwhelming

1371
01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:03,000
Speaker 1: the degree to which they're bad on offense. There's more

1372
01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:06,559
Speaker 1: Iowa football conversation, not necessarily in a positive way, but

1373
01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:10,439
Speaker 1: in terms of attention. Great job, Brian Farrens.

1374
01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:15,160
Speaker 2: It's so bad. It is so bad. We've joked for

1375
01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:19,679
Speaker 2: eons on this show about half teams m H. Iowa

1376
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:23,880
Speaker 2: has unbridled half team potential this year. Yeah, to an

1377
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:27,960
Speaker 2: extent that we have never seen before. Quite literally, maybe

1378
01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:31,839
Speaker 2: the worst offense in college football versus the best defense

1379
01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:35,920
Speaker 2: in college football. We could hit both extremes here with

1380
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:38,280
Speaker 2: this team. I don't think we will, but it's on

1381
01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:41,320
Speaker 2: the table. It's on the table totally. What I enjoy

1382
01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:45,120
Speaker 2: about this year is Iowa situation. Is they win the

1383
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:47,599
Speaker 2: way that they win with the gentleman's touchdown Againstuth Dakota State.

1384
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:49,439
Speaker 1: They lose the way that they lose in the Saihawk

1385
01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:52,000
Speaker 1: Game after winning it for six straight years. But a

1386
01:10:52,160 --> 01:10:56,519
Speaker 1: rational mind unaffiliated with Iowa football or any of their

1387
01:10:56,600 --> 01:11:01,240
Speaker 1: rivals could also say, I don't know if they're not

1388
01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:05,200
Speaker 1: winning the Big Ten West, right, Like, we have seen

1389
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:09,839
Speaker 1: disaster from Iowa football in terms of what they're attempting

1390
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:13,240
Speaker 1: to do on offense. And at the same time, you

1391
01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:18,320
Speaker 1: can visualize a Big Ten West champion Iowa, right, but

1392
01:11:18,439 --> 01:11:20,280
Speaker 1: you can see that path where they win a bunch

1393
01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:22,519
Speaker 1: of games thirteen to ten and you're like, wow, that

1394
01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:24,639
Speaker 1: offense is truly one of the most horrendous things that's

1395
01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:28,280
Speaker 1: ever been fielded on a college football field, but the

1396
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:31,040
Speaker 1: defense was enough to win a bunch of games, which

1397
01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:35,599
Speaker 1: is just an incredible statement on parts of the Big Ten. Okay, also,

1398
01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:40,760
Speaker 1: SMU Maryland centaur potential. I am just I'm seeing a

1399
01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:44,400
Speaker 1: lot of to Leah hype, SMU year one, new coach,

1400
01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:48,040
Speaker 1: good players on offense. I'm just pointing out that's an

1401
01:11:48,080 --> 01:11:48,919
Speaker 1: interesting matchup.

1402
01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:51,560
Speaker 2: I still don't really get the centaur thing, but continue.

1403
01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:54,840
Speaker 1: Well, the centaur thing is, on first glance, your eyes

1404
01:11:54,840 --> 01:11:58,040
Speaker 1: are attracted to the meaty flanks of the horse bottom right,

1405
01:11:58,160 --> 01:12:02,559
Speaker 1: it's half man, half horse, and so you're seeing a thoroughbred, right,

1406
01:12:02,840 --> 01:12:04,519
Speaker 1: But then you look at the torso and it's much

1407
01:12:04,560 --> 01:12:08,000
Speaker 1: more human, and so it's sort of upon first glance

1408
01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:10,360
Speaker 1: you're seeing the strength and the meatiness.

1409
01:12:10,400 --> 01:12:12,720
Speaker 2: There's no way a centaur makes that sound, but it's

1410
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:13,679
Speaker 2: really haunting.

1411
01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:16,200
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know what sound a centaur. Man.

1412
01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:17,720
Speaker 2: No, I mean, that's as good a guess as any

1413
01:12:17,760 --> 01:12:20,200
Speaker 2: I don't know either, But continue, continue, don't let me

1414
01:12:20,280 --> 01:12:20,920
Speaker 2: get in your way here.

1415
01:12:21,040 --> 01:12:24,479
Speaker 1: San Diego State Utah Utah favored by three touchdowns at altitude.

1416
01:12:24,520 --> 01:12:26,160
Speaker 1: I don't think San Diego State is especially good, but

1417
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:28,719
Speaker 1: it is a revenge spot. So that's at least interesting

1418
01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:30,840
Speaker 1: because I was a Charlie Brewer loss last year. North

1419
01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:35,040
Speaker 1: Dakota State favored by a point in the desert at Arizona.

1420
01:12:35,439 --> 01:12:38,040
Speaker 1: North Dakota State at Arizona. I think that's the game.

1421
01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:40,400
Speaker 1: I think Arizona's gonna win that game, do you yeah?

1422
01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:43,840
Speaker 1: I do'd be nice, Do me a quick, quick, quick

1490
01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:17,240

1491
01:16:17,280 --> 01:16:20,160

1492

1499
01:16:41,640 --> 01:16:43,640
Speaker 1: I don't know how they do it. I expected a

1500
01:16:43,680 --> 01:16:45,360
Speaker 1: war room. It just looked like a normal room.

1501
01:16:46,360 --> 01:16:48,000
Speaker 2: I don't know what kind of tech they're wired up for,

1515
01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:37,599
Speaker 2: yet dumb things we've ever done. We have done many,

1516

Speaker 2: we have done nothing many for the.

1517
01:17:39,840 --> 01:17:42,120
Speaker 1: Last fifteen years. But dumb ambition.

1518
01:17:42,640 --> 01:17:46,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is what we specialize in in college football media,

1519
01:17:46,280 --> 01:17:50,920

Speaker 2: I don't know. There will be drakes can show off.

1525
01:18:04,360 --> 01:18:07,120
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe you could show off. Yeah, there is potential

1526
01:18:07,120 --> 01:18:09,439
Speaker 2: for that. Yeah, this is one of the dumber things

1527
01:18:09,439 --> 01:18:10,240
Speaker 2: we've ever done.

1528
01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:10,960
Speaker 1: Can't wait.

1529
01:18:11,439 --> 01:18:14,120
Speaker 2: It could be a spectacular failure. It could also be

1530
01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:15,439
Speaker 2: funny as freaking hell.

1531
01:18:15,479 --> 01:18:19,680
