1
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal hull.

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 2: That for me. I'm a man, I'm for I've heard

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:10,639
Speaker 2: so many players say, well, I want to be happy.

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: You want to be happy for a day.

5
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 2: Edith Stak is that woo woo?

6
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,080
Speaker 1: And Dan and Tie.

7
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 2: Be Halloween.

8
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: Dan Rubinstein, welcome back to the show, my friend. Neither

9
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,479
Speaker 1: one of us are in costume today. I guess we

10
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: are coming costumed as college football prognostication experts on making.

11
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 2: Oh that's what we are. That's what we are. Yeah,

12
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 2: how are you? I'm great, Ty, I'm doing really well.

13
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 2: I'm very excited for this weekend. We're going to be

14
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 2: an ann arbor. I'm very excited for an extended solo

15
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: road trip to just listen and have like a little

16
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 2: zen experience between the suburbs of Chicago and I guess

17
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 2: what is that Eastern Southeastern Michigan. I don't know. Uh,

18
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 2: it's gonna be great. We get to go to a

19
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: college football game, we get to each other. You're gonna

20
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 2: get a full night sleep, apparently what you're.

21
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: Looking forward to. I'm thrilled for the full night of sleep.

22
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: I will miss the dogs dearly, but could definitely use

23
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: a good night of.

24
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: Sleep, whatever decisions we make food wise, I'm positive we're

25
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: gonna eat super well, as you always seem to do

26
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 2: when you're near me. So it's great time. I'm doing great.

27
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 2: We've got a great weekend of games ahead of us,

28
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 2: and I guess we're gonna watch at tailgates, maybe a

29
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 2: little bit like during commercial breaks and halftime during the

30
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 2: game itself. After the game, we're gonna be able to

31
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 2: We're gonna wolf down some college football content along the

32
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 2: way on Saturday. I'm very excited.

33
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: So here's the deal. We are going to be in

34
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: an ann arbor. If you will be there too. We've

35
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: gotten emails and messages from people who will also be

36
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: at the game, so keeping coming. We're gonna do our part,

37
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: try and meet up before the game with some people

38
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: who are there.

39
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, let us know if you're there, tailgating, whatever.

40
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: We will be doing a show that goes out Saturday night.

41
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: As per usual, it will be a bit of an

42
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: abbreviated show because of circumstances, we're not gonna be able

43
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: to watch all of the games. We will do our

44
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: part to present as much of a fair and balance

45
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: a complete overview as we can, but no guarantees, so

46
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: don't hold us to that, but make sure you download

47
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: that episode on Sunday morning. Whatever we don't get to

48
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: you know, the drill, we'll get to it on the

49
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: Tuesday spillover episode. Dan. This week we've got a Bombus

50

Speaker 2: you are a brief person, whatever you want, they've got.

70
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 2: It's a no brainer unless you're scared to compete. Let's

71

Speaker 2: just know some people out there, they just love Tie,

72
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: they just love Dan. But they say to themselves, I

73
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 2: don't know how to pick games. I don't know as

74
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: much as these brilliant goofballs. I just am scared to compete.

75
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: If that's you don't But if you have what it takes,

76
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: come on in for ballers dot com.

77
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: What does it take to pick the games correctly? In

78
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: week ten? MM, because I look at this slate and

79
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: I think I am again falling victim to the same

80
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: thing that I have phoned victim to for the last

81
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: how ever many years of doing this show, and that

82
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: is I am a much better low information picker. At

83
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year. That is, when I excel

84
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: the first eight weeks of the season, I feel wonderful.

85
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: But now as we kind of turn the page into

86
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: the latter stages of October, as we get into November,

87
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: more information, more data to consume, more things to consider.

88
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: This is when I psych myself out, so I try

89
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: to get away from that in picking the games this week,

90
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: I am certain I have failed miserably. How do you

91
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: see this week ten as you look across the board here?

92
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 2: Okay, so this is when when we get into November, right,

93
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 2: this is when depth becomes an issue. This is when

94
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 2: you don't want to get seduced by last week's games

95
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 2: because it might have just been an aberration in a

96
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 2: good way, in a bad way, in a weird way,

97
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 2: because Smud six turnovers or Syracuse through five interceptions, right that,

98
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 2: like somebody is at the depths of their season, or

99
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 2: somebody is looking truly incredible, but it's not necessarily representative.

100
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 2: And speaking of depths, right like, this is when depth

101
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 2: plays an issue. This is when like, oh man, they've

102
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: been pretty good, but as we get into this, they're

103
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 2: a little bit beat up and they're not winning games

104
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 2: by as many points. And so this is when I

105
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 2: see when I look at these matchups, whether it's the

106
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 2: headliners like Ohio State Penn State, or pit SMU or

107
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 2: South Carolina, Texas A and M, or even a game

108
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 2: like USC Washington, I look around and I say, this

109
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 2: team probably isn't as blank as they were then in

110
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 2: a good way or a bad way. Right that Baylor

111
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 2: was kind of disappointing early, but the defense was kind

112
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 2: of there. But now the offense is coming through a

113
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 2: little bit and you're getting into you're getting into the

114
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 2: trophy games. I think we've got the Heartland Trophy this

115
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,239
Speaker 2: week Iowa Wisconsin. Hard to see that being a thirty

116
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 2: five to seven game in either direction, Right, Yeah, we've

117
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 2: got what there's I think there's another trophy game. Oh,

118
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 2: we've got the old Brass Spittoon, I believe, Indiana Michigan State.

119
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 2: So you're getting into the cold up north. You got

120
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 2: the trophy games. And you cut that tie with what

121
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 2: people are going to be wearing Halloween weekend if they

122
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 2: didn't celebrate last weekend, and you're talking about superhero costumes,

123
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 2: you're talking about people looking maybe a little bit extra sexy,

124
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: looking to be a little bit extra feisty on Halloween.

125
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 2: Coupling that with what I look and see a lot

126
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 2: of snug potential results, I have this as a skin

127
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 2: tight Saturday. Not too kind? Is that Catwoman? Is that Catwoman?

128
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 2: That is Catwoman from Batman? The animated series.

129
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: Kind Wow, that's a pull.

130
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 2: And you know what, I got a little bit of

131
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 2: shivers when I hear her. Yeah, that's who I am

132
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: at a forty one.

133
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 1: It's a little bit with you there. Well, that was

134
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 1: a long wind up and you would have dunk on

135
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: me for my stats, but I appreciate it. Look I

136
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: like the idea of the skin tight Saturday. Yes, I

137
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: really do, because there are a number of point spreads

138
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: here that felt too low to me. And I just

139
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: wonder if again Vegas knows something that I do not right,

140
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: And that is where we start this episode. Do not

141
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: forget to give us a call at eight five five

142
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: verbal three as you are watching this week's games. Because

143
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: of our circumstances, we won't play the reverbs on Saturday night.

144
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: We will play them on Tuesday. So, if anything, you've

145
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: got more time to get those reverbs in. We've instructed

146
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: Shay accordingly to give it a little bit more time

147
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: before he cuts those. We will again play those on

148
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: the Tuesday spillover episode. If you are ever so inclined,

149
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: if you are ready to dive into skin tight Saturday,

150
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: Oh my god, why don't we pick some games?

151
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 2: Let's do it and time to help me am the week.

152
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: It is week ten and we start with the big

153
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: noon game. Words cannot express how juiced up Gush Johnson's

154
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: gonna be for this one. Dan I set the over

155
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: under right out of the shoot here at four and

156
00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: one half. Big Zamboni references for Andy kotal Nikki and

157
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: certainly a game of this magnitude will also have a

158
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: nickname on the other side of things, So what that

159
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: ends up being remains to be seen. Gus is big

160
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: on the transportation theme, nicknamed he likes to pounds see

161
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: if he goes in a different direction. But Big Zamboni

162
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: definitely making an appearance in this matchup between Ohio State

163
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: and Penn State. Ohio State in Beaver Stadium. This is

164
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: the last time they will be in Beaver Stadium until

165
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight because of the scheduling rotation, because next

166
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: year's matchup is in Columbus, So there's a lot riding

167
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: on this.

168
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 2: Not so think not playing in two years? Is that

169
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 2: what's happening?

170
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: I'm playing in two years?

171
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 2: No, Oh, that's dumb.

172
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: There will be an ongoing rotation now is we've got

173
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: an eighteen team conference. Nonetheless, We've got this one, and

174
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,719
Speaker 1: it's a big one in Ohio State is favored by

175
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 1: three and a half points. Dan, I was thinking about

176
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 1: this a little bit, and James Franklin and Ryan Day

177
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: have a lot in common. They're both judged on how

178
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: well they perform against Michigan.

179
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

180
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: Franklin, though I would argue from a Penn State standpoint,

181
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: is very much judged based solely on this game. Okay,

182
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: this has always been the game in Penn State fans circles.

183
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: Even though Franklin doesn't have a ton of success, He's

184
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: one to ten against Ohio State and his time in

185
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: state college lost the last seven.

186
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 2: This is the game.

187
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: This is the one that I think Penn State fans

188
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: hold up as kind of the measuring stick for how

189
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: well he is doing as coach, how far along this

190
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: program is as a whole relative to it appears in

191
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: the conference and around college football.

192
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, they seem to recruit against each other a ton,

193
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 2: right the State's touch there's a lot of overlap. Obviously,

194
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 2: Justin Fields was committed to penns shap for a while.

195
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 2: Like there's just those ongoing I want to say, Terrell

196
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 2: pryor jeanet Pa the Pride of jeanet Pa was looking

197
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 2: at Penn State, Ohio State. There's there's just always that

198
00:09:58,760 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 2: friction there. I think you're right.

199
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: Johnson's senior longtime line as four or two. So there's

200
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: a lot of connective tissue here.

201
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 2: Yes.

202
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: Nonetheless, Penn State has won this game just three times

203
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: in the history of our podcast, dating back to two

204
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: thousand and eight. Yeah, okay, so this has not been

205
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: a successful matchup for the Knits. I am biased. I'm

206
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: very biased, So I'm gonna let you go first. I

207
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: struggled with this one. I struggled with this one mightily,

208
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: and I can explain why in a second. But where

209
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: are you at with this one?

210
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 2: I went back and forth with this one. It obviously

211
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 2: checks a number of boxes in terms of my belief system.

212
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 2: Penn State as an underdog at home in a difficult

213
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 2: place to play, the problem with that is we've seen

214
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 2: Penn State lose these games at home, these big games

215
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 2: to these big opponents, and so it's difficult to say, like, oh,

216
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 2: Penn State, good defense at home, you know, harsh, crowd, loud, crowd, energetic,

217
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 2: electric crap. They've lost these games with James Franklin the

218
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 2: entire matchup, like it'll come down to how aggressive and

219
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 2: successful Penn State is upfront with a beat up Ohio

220
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 2: State offensive line. Now we can overreact to the struggles

221
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 2: they had last week against Nebraska. I thought Nebraska did

222
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 2: a good job. I thought Ohio State's play calling was

223
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 2: a little bit weird. But you can't pass a ton

224
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 2: if Will Howard's not protected, you can't run a ton

225
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 2: if the lanes aren't there, and Josh Simmons is out

226
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 2: for the year, and you know, back up, some guys

227
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 2: who are sliding around were not successful and or beat

228
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 2: up in that Nebraska game. So that to me is

229
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 2: kind of everything that if Penn State has a pass

230
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 2: rush and wave up front and building a wall whatever

231
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 2: upfront against the run those two talented running backs, it's

232
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 2: going to be very difficult for Ohio State. There's just

233
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 2: only so much they can do. On the other side.

234
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 2: Who's playing quarterback? Right, who's playing quarterback? Because if it

235
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 2: is Drew Aller, it's probably gonna be a severely limited

236
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 2: Drew Aller.

237
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: And I don't know about it severely, but limited I

238
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: think is fair. I mean sounds like he's got a

239
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: tweak knee that's the rumor. I don't believe it's anything serious.

240
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 1: I do believe he's going to give it a shot,

241
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 1: but it's fair to assume that he's not going to

242
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: move around as well, And.

243
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying, and it's not just a running Also.

244
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: We may see, even if he's healthy, a fair amount

245
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: of bo pribula in light of what we saw happen

246
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 1: a week ago when he came in and kind of

247
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: ignited that offense in a different way. Not saying he's

248
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: better and should be the starter moving forward, but he

249
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: definitely gave them a different dynamic on offense. So I

250
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: think we'll see both of them one way or another.

251
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 1: But Aler's mobility is definitely something that we need to

252
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,479
Speaker 1: keep an eye on against a really good Ohio State front.

253
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 2: I'd love to see what Penn State looks like in

254
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 2: the first half. They've been able to survive a bunch

255
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 2: of not so great first half performances this year. Seems

256
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 2: like if they don't have an offensive game plan and

257
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 2: the ability to execute a good big game plan in

258
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 2: that first half, digging out against Ohio State where you

259
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 2: probably need to score at least I mean nebrask game

260
00:12:58,160 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 2: now was standing, but you probably need to score twenty

261
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 2: eight thirty points to have a decent shot at beating

262
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 2: Ohio State if it's a bo Probula team. For as

263
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 2: much of a spark as he probably is, he's not

264
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 2: a mystery to Ohio State at this point that he

265
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 2: could be the starting quarterback in this game. So I

266
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 2: went back and forth in this one. I just think

267
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 2: there is more potential for more big plays, for chunkier plays,

268
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 2: for playing to the moment. With Ohio State winning this game,

269
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 2: I wrote down thirty to twenty four Ohio State.

270
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, you mentioned the biggest sticking point for me, and

271
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: that's Ohio State's a much more explosive team than Penn State.

272
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: And you see it when you watch the games. You

273
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: see it reflected in the spreadsheets. They can just beat

274
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: you so many different ways. You're not going to stop them.

275
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: It is a question of containment. You want to get

276
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: a few stops here and there, and then you got

277
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: to try and find a way to out score them

278
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: because you're not going to hold them to seventeen points

279
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: to twenty one points. I just think there are too

280
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: many weapons there. That's basically what Oregon did thirty two

281
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 1: to thirty one was at the final I mean, and

282
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: they got You get a couple of plays here and there,

283
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: you find a way to eke it out.

284
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 2: But they hit those chunky plays.

285
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: They hit the chunk plays, And this is a sticking

286
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 1: point for me with this one. The other thing, you know,

287
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 1: I like Penn State's defense. I think you'd be crazy

288
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: to not like it. But fifty five percent of the

289
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: time they're playing really tight Manda Man coverage. This is

290
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: a tough receiver corps to play a Manda Man against.

291
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: I agree it is tough. Don't be surprised if you

292
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: see a lot of pass interference calls in this game.

293
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: All right, this is one of these matchups that I

294
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: think devolves into a shootout through the air, Or if

295
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: it devolves into a shootout through the air, it's not

296
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: favorable to Penn State because that's just not where they're

297
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: at right now. I like Tyler Warren. I think they

298
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: have found a way to incorporate some of their other receivers.

299
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: I do think they're at least a little bit more

300
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: downfield of a passing team than would meet the eye.

301
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: But they're not on the same plane as Ohio State's

302
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: receiving corps. They're just not So I'm not sold that

303
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: Penn State can win a game like this, not because

304
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: Drew Aller can't throw. He has had a good year,

305
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: But I just think it's a Jimmy's and Joe's thing.

306
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: I think Ohio State is better players. I am very,

307
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: very curious to see what Penn State's plan is on offense.

308
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: And this speaks to your point about first half, especially

309
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: if there is now a question about quarterback with Drew Hour.

310
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: My guess is, again, if ty were the coach, I

311
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: would try to shorten the game as best I could, Okay,

312
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: and I think that's what they're going to try to do.

313
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: I think they want to try and force the issue

314
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: on the ground, and maybe this is where we're likely

315
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: to see bo Prabulah, where we're likely to see creative

316
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: sets with Tyler Warren, who is drawing Travis Kelcey comparisons.

317
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 2: Now have you seen this have not be good for him.

318
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: I am skeptical that that's going to work because if

319
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: we know it's coming, and I think.

320
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 2: We know it's coming, I think I know it's coming.

321
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: Ohio State does too, And if this is the plan,

322
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: and if it doesn't work, then you got to rely

323
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: on Drew Holler, and it gets into that desk viral

324
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: that I described a minute ago where you got to

325
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: throw more than you want to. Right here is the

326
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: caveato matting though, to your point about the first half, Yeah,

327
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: we have seen two recent instances of Penn State being

328
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: down at halftime and then zooming back into the game

329
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: on the road against sc and then on the road

330
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: against Wisconsin a week ago.

331
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 2: They have been very good at making.

332
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: These adjustments and sort of growing into games. So if

333
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: you're somebody out there who likes to take a peek

334
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: at the live lines, not the worst idea to root

335
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: for a couple quick scores if you don't have a

336
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: rooting interest in this game. Not the worst idea to

337
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: root for a couple quick scores by Ohio State and

338
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: then jump in on Penn State twenty four to twenty

339
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: bowling green at halftime against Penn State as well. Correct. Yeah,

340
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: The reason I struggled with this is that I think

341
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: is obvious I want Penn State to win desperately. I'm

342
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: a Penn State grad, and I found myself continually trying

343
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: to reverse engineer a storyline in which Penn State wins.

344
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: I can't in good faith pick them to win after

345
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: three months of pumping up a hole state. That would

346
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: be the most hypocritical thing I could do. Even though

347
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for it, I don't think I can pick it.

348
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: I think it's a good game. I think it's thirty

349
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: one twenty late. I think Penn State scores the touchdown.

350
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: They try to go for two to get it to

351
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: thirty one twenty eight, but they miss it. I think

352
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: the Buckey's escapable late charge and they win thirty one

353
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: to twenty six.

354
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,360
Speaker 2: Man' that's very specific, and so I hope for your sake,

355
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 2: for your own pride in picking that works out. But

356
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:33,199
Speaker 2: I hope you're wrong as a Penn State person. The

357
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 2: big thing has been though with Penn State is in

358
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 2: games where this has been close, in games where they've

359
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 2: put themselves in position to win this game. Because Ohio

360
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 2: States had these types of receivers for a long time. Now,

361
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 2: you know, year over year, whether it's Chris Olave, Marvin

362
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 2: Harrison Junior, Jeremiah Smith like they've had these guys, it's

363
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 2: Penn State's had guys to counter that. Parker Washington caught

364
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 2: a bunch in a losing effort, or kJ Hamlin or

365
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 2: Jahan Dotson, like they've had those guys and now it's

366
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 2: hope Tyler Warren's that guy and can overcome whatever is

367
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 2: lacking the rest of these pass catchers in terms of consistency.

368
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 2: I just I think you need somebody like that to

369
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 2: get to thirty. And as you pointed out in Penn

370
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 2: State not getting to thirty, I think that's where you

371
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 2: know that that's what separates even an injured Ohio State

372
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 2: with also potentially an injured Penn State. I think that's

373
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 2: the separation factor.

374
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, maybe maybe somebody does step up outside

375
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 1: of Tyler Warren. Maybe it's somebody we haven't seen yet.

376
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I know, but this is this is a hypothetical, right,

377
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,479
Speaker 1: These are the types of games where, yeah, players can

378
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: come out of the shadows and emerge. Is it is

379
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: it Trey Wallace, is it Omar Omari Evans, Liam Clifford,

380
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 1: Like Julian Fleming, Maybe this is the Julian Fleming revenge

381
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 1: game we've been waiting for. I don't I'm skeptical of that.

382
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: I'm always skeptical of a team holding something back or

383
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: somebody just emerging sort of out of the blue to

384
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: have a big game. So I'm rooting for Penn State. Yeah,

385
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: I think that part's obvious. But I've been talking up

386
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: Ohio State as one of the best two teams frankly

387
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 1: in the country for a good long time now, and

388
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: for me to kind of turn my back on that

389
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: would go against all the hard research I've done over

390
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: the over the last couple of months.

391
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is, by the way, huge game in

392
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 2: terms of Big Ten Conference, huge implications, right, like absolutely huge.

393
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 2: Ohio State needs this game, maybe not in a way

394
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 2: Penn State. Penn State doesn't need it as much as

395
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 2: Ohio State and in this moment, but yeah, there's a

396
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 2: lot on the line here.

397
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: Three point thirty CBS Oregon minus fourteen and a half

398
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: points at Michigan. This is a tian Dan game. We're

399
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: going to be there. We're going to be there if

400
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: you will be there too. Again, soliverbo at gmail dot

401
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 1: com is the easiest way to reach out and let

402
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: us know we would love to meet you in the

403
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: part is happily married? Yeah, I am happily married. We'd

404
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 1: love to meet you in the parking lot. Yeah, before

405
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 1: the game in Temecula.

406
00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 2: Yeah.

407
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:01,719
Speaker 1: So when we first drew up the plans to go

408
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: to this game way back when, suffice to say, the

409
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:10,719
Speaker 1: world was in a much different place. On Tuesday, you

410
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: and I talked about this more as a means for

411
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: our cheese exchange than a college football game. I am

412
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: going to procure the Cooper sharp Cooper's Sharp White American

413
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: shortly after we record today, and I'm going to figure

414
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: out a way to pack it. Our friend Tim Buckley,

415
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: the weather authority down in North Carolina, has assured me

416
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: via Twitter that you can take cheese on a plane,

417
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: that it's not going to like flag anything in the

418
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: FAA system. I feel good now that an authority has

419
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: weighed in on this. There was news this week that

420
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: Jack Tuttle is hanging it up after a fifth concussion.

421
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,479
Speaker 1: Well five is a lot, so we obviously wish him

422
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 1: with sad news. We obviously wish him well with whatever

423
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: comes next. As for this game, though, the thing that

424
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 1: I am hung up on is that's a lot of

425
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,479
Speaker 1: points for Michigan. That's a lot of points for Michigan

426
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: at home. And this is not to say that I

427
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: am crazy impressed by anything that Michigan's done offensively, although

428
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: they did look better a week ago, it just seems

429
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: like fourteen and a half is an awful lot, especially

430
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: for an Oregon team that hasn't had a lot of

431
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 1: road tests quite like this in the big House this year. Right,

432
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: So I'm a bit torn on where I come down

433
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: with respect to the points spread. I think Oregon's winning,

434
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: Oregon's a better team, but really it's a question of

435
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: point spread for me.

436
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 2: So if you're Michigan, you have to have a very

437
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 2: specific right. You said, if you were coaching Penn State,

438
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 2: you would shorten the game, you would do all. I mean,

439
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 2: that's sort of what the Michigan plan needs to be.

440
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 2: I've been texting with our friend Jeff Schwartz about this

441
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 2: a bunch where it's just like Michigan has to hope

442
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 2: for the most successful game of pickleball known to man,

443
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 2: because that's all they're really capable of. Offensively. They can

444
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 2: run it all, right. They have Colston Lovelin, obviously one

445
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 2: of the best tight ends in America. But they've had

446
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 2: nine or ten weeks now to figure out how to

447
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 2: optimize this offense. Who should be starting at quarterback obviously,

448
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 2: Jack Tuttle's been beat up and is now no longer playing.

449
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 2: Davis Warren starts out, Alex Orgie comes in. It's very

450
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 2: clear alex Orgy is not a high level college football

451
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 2: quarterback in the traditional sense. So he can be very

452
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 2: effective on third and three, third one, third and goal,

453
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 2: something like that. But I don't know if Michigan is

454
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 2: looking and staring down third and eight's kind of screwed

455
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 2: against a good defense. The best hope Michigan has is

456
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 2: successful pick a ball, being that magician to turn sevens

457
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 2: into threes when Oregon has the ball in the red

458
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 2: zone and shortening this game. I just don't think that's

459
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 2: a sustainable plan if we are to believe Oregon is excellent,

460
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 2: and I happen to think Oregon is excellent because of

461
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 2: how complete they seem to be right now. Michigine has

462
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 2: had nine or ten weeks to figure out receivers, nine

463
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 2: or ten weeks to figure out a plan for the secondary,

464
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 2: nine or ten weeks to figuregure out adjustments on defense.

465
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 2: They haven't be able to do it. I think there's

466
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 2: a good chance Oregon, especially with Will Johnson being I

467
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 2: think at best questionable in this game to play corner,

468
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 2: and if he's playing, he's not gonna be at one

469
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 2: hundred percent. I think there's extraordinary opportunity for Oregon in

470
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 2: the passing game to take it to Michigan. And this

471
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 2: is once again, this is not a game over Oregon's overlooking.

472
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 2: It's Network TV, it's Michigan, it's the defending champ. It's

473
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 2: the opportunity to make a statement when a lot of

474
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 2: people are going to be watching. I don't know, I

475
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 2: think Oregon's able to even if they don't jump on

476
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 2: Michigan the way Illinois did. I have this as like

477
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 2: thirty one seventeen or thirty one thirteen, something like that.

478
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 2: Thirty four to seventeen, I think in the range. I

479
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 2: think they cover by two, three four points. I think

480
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 2: they win this game, maybe thirty seven to twenty something

481
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 2: like that. I just I think you have to be

482
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 2: able to match Oregon and Oregon speed. And Michigan scored

483
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 2: seven against right against Illinois, So I mean that was

484
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 2: that was a tuttle game. Right, that's a different quarterback.

485
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 2: But I don't see Davis Horren being a big enough

486
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 2: difference maker when Oregon has been holding these questionable big

487
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 2: ten offenses to nine, ten, thirteen points, some of which

488
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 2: is in garbage time. I don't know Oregon's finishing drives

489
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 2: on defense, and I think it's just going to make

490
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 2: it a long day for Michigan.

491
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: To Michigan's credit, I do think last week against Michigan State.

492
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: Now Michigan State is on Oregon, but I do think

493
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: it was an important moment for this offense. It felt

494
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 1: more like they found a better balance of how to

495
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 1: use those two quarterbacks, and that's meaningful because it's taking

496
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: them a while to get here.

497
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 2: All right.

498
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 1: That was We talked about it on the recap show.

499
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 1: That was a nice win for Michigan. Yeah, against a

500
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: rival in state, but they held off Michigan State. I

501
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: thought they looked pretty good all things considered. So maybe

502
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: they've turned a corner on that front. We know the

503
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 1: offense is limited, but they're just a hard team. To

504
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: blow out the PA really slowly. They should be able

505
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 1: to run the ball somewhat against Oregon. Yeah, still like

506
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 1: the defense. I'd like it more if Will Johnson played.

507
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: We are told by a Sharan More that he will

508
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 1: be back. He's not shutting it down. He will be

509
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: back at some point. In November when that is remains

510
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: to be seen. Obviously, if he goes out there against

511
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: Oregon and has a good game, that would help help

512
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: draft stock, but that you know, we don't know if

513
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen or not. And again I come back

514
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: to what I said here when I introduced the game.

515
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: Oregon's not really road tested. They played it or not,

516
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: they played in Hornet's nests at Oregon State, UCLA and

517
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,199
Speaker 1: Purdue Dan. Correct, this is a little bit of a

518
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: step up in that regard, So I like Oregon to win.

519
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: Oregon's the better team for all of those reasons, though,

520
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: and for the reasons I described at the top of this,

521
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: I got like twenty eight to sixteen. Okay, I think

522
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 1: Oregon wins going away, But I do think this is

523
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 1: one of those deals where Chigan's style of play, combined

524
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: with their defense, combined with the atmosphere and all that

525
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: stuff within that fourteen and a half number, that just

526
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: feels like too much for me to give it.

527
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 2: Hell, are they those nineteen against Texas thirty one to twelve?

528
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 1: Thirty one? Twelve?

529
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, my shaky mat says nineteen. There's week two and

530
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 2: now there's more tape out on Michigan. Michigan's more beat up,

531
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 2: it seems than they were back then.

532
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: Look it's I'm with you. I get it. We're in

533
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: agreement that Oregon's gonna win this one by double digits.

534
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: It's just really a question of the point spread.

535
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough, we just seven point thirty A, B C.

536
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: Texas, A and M minus two and a half at

537
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: South Carolina. The line has come down. A and M

538
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: off that emotional home comeback over LSU. Now they're alone

539
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: atop the SEC standings. Can they avoid the rat poison? Dan?

540
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, the rat everyone's talking about A and M

541
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: suddenly can they avoid the rat poison? As Saban once

542
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: called it? Now they're on the road against South Carolina.

543
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: South Carolina off a bye correct, South Carolina in need

544
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: of just two more wins. They've got one in the bag. Later,

545
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 1: I think it's against Wafford. Need to beat one of

546
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: three SEC teams the rest of the way in order

547
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: to get to six wins to qualify for a Bowl,

548
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: which frankly is an incredible story because I don't we

549
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: didn't have that. I didn't have that, a lot of

550
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 1: people didn't have that. So this is a team that

551
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: is overperformed on some level. I wanted to start this

552
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 1: conversation though, with something that you mentioned to me yesterday. Okay,

553
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: with your d analytics, you.

554
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 2: Popped the hood.

555
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: You took a look at points per drive with respect

556
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: to all these teams that we're going to discuss, but

557
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: especially with Texas A and M. You found something interesting

558
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: with Texas A and M when you compared last year

559
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: versus this year.

560
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're basically unchanged with regard to you know, points

561
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 2: per drive scored minus points per drive allowed, their net

562
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 2: points per drive. They're performing in an almost identical way

563
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 2: to last season. The difference being they have a better

564
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 2: coaching staff and they're winning those closer games instead of

565
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 2: losing them like they did last year. When you look

566
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,360
Speaker 2: at whatever Tennessee and Alabama and they're pulling the game

567
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 2: out or you know, staying ahead of a team like

568
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,479
Speaker 2: Arkansas or whoever. This year, Mississippi State, they're winning games

569
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 2: where they have stretches where they're not particularly good. Obviously,

570
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 2: it hasn't been a consistent offense going between two different quarterbacks,

571
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 2: so that obviously plays a specific role in things. And

572
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 2: starting out with a new coach losing to Notre Dame

573
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 2: where the offense didn't really exist against a good Notre

574
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 2: Dame team. So, yes, they are finishing stronger, they're making

575
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 2: better decisions, they're getting better over the course of games.

576
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 2: But it's not like this is a night and day

577
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 2: performance from where they were last year as a pretty

578
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,719
Speaker 2: good team who lost winnable moments.

579
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: I think that speaks volumes for Mike Elko.

580
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's it's a complete, one hundred percent

581
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 2: compliment on how well this team is coached.

582
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: This year to have the same amount basically of output

583
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: and be in a much much different spot where they're

584
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: a top the SEC and expanded SEC and more teams

585
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: in this thing different conference structure. All that again, A

586
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: and M's riding high, literally riding high atop the standings.

587
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: I think the breakdown for this game is really straightforward.

588
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: I think A and M's got to deal with the

589
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: South Carolina defensive line and they have to figure out

590
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: a way to dominate with their own M and that's it.

591
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: It's not more complicated than that. We do not need

592
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: to overcomplicate it. The Carolina offense right now is a

593
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: top fifty unit, which is okay, very okay, highly inefficient

594
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: have playmakers. We love Leonoris, the creator on this show.

595
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: Of course, highly inefficient. Whatever they've done is in spite

596
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 1: of their line, not because of it. They do not

597
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: have a good line, so it is a big mismatch

598
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: up front. If they can figure out a way to

599
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: deal with that. A and M is prone to the

600
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: big play. But even still, it seems like a bridge

601
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: too far for me that they're just going to be

602
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: able to work with. They're going to dispose of this

603
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: Texas A and M defensive line knowing how good it is,

604
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: so that I think is a big advantage for A

605
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: and M. Even though I do like Lenora Sellers, it's

606
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: an inefficient offense with a bad line going up against

607
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: a good defensive front that favors A and M. I

608
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: also think the play should be to stick with barcel

609
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: Red and as do I. At time of recording, I

610
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: have not seen this officially mentioned anywhere. If Mike Elco

611
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: were smart, he wouldn't tell anybody. But presumably Shane Beemer

612
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:25,959
Speaker 1: is going to be prepared for him now. It's not

613
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: going to be a Brian Kelly situation a week ago,

614
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: and they weren't his legs I think can help offset

615
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: that Carolina line to some extent. I think that's what

616
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: they are counting on. I think that gives them something

617
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: of an advantage here, or at least a device to

618
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: counteract what we know is coming.

619
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 2: From keivemont Balance. Yeah.

620
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, twenty seven to seventeen. A and M is my

621
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: final man that okay.

622
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 2: So that kind of score says to me, you feel

623
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 2: like A and M has arrived in year one of

624
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 2: Mike Elco, that this is a this is a completed team.

625
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: I think it's more of vote against South Carolina as

626
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: a complete team.

627
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 2: I think that's right. I think that's okay. I have

628
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 2: South Carolina winning this game and I hate it. Whoa Okay,

629
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 2: So here's what South Carolina needs. South Carolina needs two

630
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 2: and a half Pixie Dust moments. So they're gonna need

631
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 2: a seventy seven yard touchdown run. They're gonna need a

632
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 2: pick six, they're gonna need I mean, they have maybe

633
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 2: the best on side kicker in America after his three

634
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 2: thousand RPM onside.

635
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: Do you really like that tweet of mine? That might

636
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: be my favorite? You nailed it, Yeah, it was. It

637
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: was beautiful.

638
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 2: I've never seen anything that beautiful in my life. They

639
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 2: need the pixie dust because I don't necessarily trust Lenora

640
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 2: Sellers if they're down twenty one seventeen with three minutes

641
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,959
Speaker 2: left after the end of that Alabama game, and now

642
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 2: I know this game is at home, So maybe that's

643
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 2: a different animal. Wow, And maybe that that moment was

644
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 2: used to fuel Leonora's Sellers into sort of calming down

645
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 2: and having more of a plan late in games and

646
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 2: being on the better page with this offensive court. I

647
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 2: think this is an incredibly difficult spot for A and

648
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 2: M on offense, for Marcel Reid specifically, I would agree

649
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 2: with that. I think that's a fair assessment. I just

650
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 2: I can't get there on South Carolina, Dan, I get there.

651
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,719
Speaker 2: I just I don't trust this offense enough against this

652
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 2: A and M defense, with what this defense did against

653
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 2: a much worse offense in Oklahoma. But when you see

654
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 2: that A and M still has some questions along the

655
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 2: offensive line and they're going to face this front, I

656
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 2: think they're gonna be able to get the pixie dust. Wow.

657
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 2: I think this is such an advantaged moment. It's a

658
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 2: letdown spot after a big game against LSU South Carolina

659
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 2: coming off of a bye. I don't know, we've seen

660
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 2: that like late season Shane Beemer fun. I think it

661
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 2: does come down to that matchup. I think it does

662
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 2: come down to the moment being maybe a little bit

663
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 2: large from Marcel Reid who won in Gainesville. I want

664
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 2: to say that was in Gainesville, so he has wrote tested.

665
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 2: I think South Carolina just plays to the moment. Twenty

666
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 2: three to twenty one game cocks.

667
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: Wow, this would throw things in a friggin blender in

668
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: the SEC and certainly with regard to the playoff conversation

669
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: because A and M has gradually worked its way back up.

670
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 2: Okay, we disagree. And by the way, South Carolina did

671
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 2: well against Jaleen Monroe mobile quarterback, sure, perhaps the most

672
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 2: mobile quarterback and now a Marcel Reed Okay, all.

673
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: Right, this would be something we shall see, Yes, eight pm,

674
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: a CC network. Maybe the biggest game ever to appear

675
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: in the ACC network.

676
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 2: Potentially.

677
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is criminal that this game is not getting

678
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: more love. However, if you're listening to this show, you've

679
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: probably got some way to watch the ACC Network, So

680
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: I would assume you can enjoy the silky smooth tones

681
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: of our friend West Durham Oh, nice, Love West. I

682
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: believe he's on the call for this one here Pitt

683
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: at SMU eight pm Eastern Time. SMU a seven and

684
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: one half point home favorite. The question is whether Eli Holstein,

685
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: the quarterback, is going to play for Pitt. He went

686
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:12,720
Speaker 1: down later in the game last Thursday against Syracuse. Pretty

687
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:16,879
Speaker 1: much immediately afterwards, Paton Rdoozy downplayed the injury, but now

688
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: he's playing it back up because Nardoozy's a gamesman. He

689
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 1: knows what he's doing, and he has basically not given

690
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: a tell as to whether or not it's going to

691
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 1: be him or natean Ariel y are now excuse me?

692
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: My expectation is that he's going to play based on

693
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: our dog's initial reaction, but things can change. Yeah, here's

694
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: my honest question to you. Okay, do you trust either

695
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: of these teams to lay seven and a half points

696
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: against a good opponent?

697
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 2: No, I don't think I do. I love this matchup

698
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 2: for how up in the air everything seems, and the

699
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:59,280
Speaker 2: obvious overlap is SMU just committed six turnovers last week

700
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 2: and Pitt just turned Kyle McCord over personally five times.

701
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 2: All linebackers, great linebacking corps I think they have like

702
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 2: the number two or three have a great among all

703
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 2: linebacking groups in the country that there is that that's

704
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,479
Speaker 2: a fun number to overreact to in this moment because

705
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to come true in this moment,

706
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 2: but it is fun that fresh off of six turnovers

707
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 2: they get five pick Pittsburgh.

708
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: Well, and this isn't a shanty game for me. This

709
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,240
Speaker 1: isn't a shanty game because if it is about trust,

710
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: and in this case, if we don't trust anybody, you

711
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 1: got to take the points.

712
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 2: That's what I have. I have point taking literally points taken.

713
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,840
Speaker 1: You got you gotta take the points here. I have

714
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: it at thirty four to thirty one. SMU. I think

715
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: they win. I think it's a fun game. Maybe the

716
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: best game of this window twenty seven twenty four is mine. Yeah, SMU, Yes,

717
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 1: SMU pulls it out at home. There is something that

718
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: I trust a little more in the Ashanti corolary about

719
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 1: SMU in higher leverage moments than pitt who have been

720
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 1: shaky on third down and a little bit shaky in

721
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: the red zone this season, and so knowing that obviously

722
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 1: SMU in that stadium, No, it's a huge game and

723
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: huge opportunity for them.

724
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 2: We'll be rocking. So that, to me is the question.

725
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 2: You couple that with quarterback question health wise, with the

726
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 2: Ili Holstein, No, I think Nate Arnel is pretty good.

727
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 2: I thought probably was a somewhat of a difficult decision

728
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,919
Speaker 2: in camp, But I give the edge to the home team.

729
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 2: There is going to be by the way X factor

730
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 2: here rain in the forecast time.

731
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 1: Uh oh, look at you love this. This is your

732
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:42,720
Speaker 1: favorite thing in the world.

733
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 2: I'm just saying it doesn't always come to pass. You know.

734
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 2: Maybe the rain is over before the start, maybe it

735
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 2: is delayed. Whatever their slop potential A little bit of

736
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 2: slop potential here on skin tight Saturday. How about the

737
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 2: skin tight Saturday?

738
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 1: What I'm looking at a specifically as the lines, both

739
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:06,320
Speaker 1: of the offensive lines are heavily penalized. Pitt misses more blocks,

740
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: Smu allows more pressure. That pressure I think is something

741
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,720
Speaker 1: worth monitoring here because I'll go back to a stat

742
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: that I mentioned a few weeks ago. Now we know

743
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: in light of last week, obviously, Kevin Jennings is a

744
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:23,320
Speaker 1: bit mistake prone. Yeah, Pitt Blitz is something like forty

745
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: three percent of the time on defense, just a lot,

746
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: third highest rate in college football. Very aggressive in the

747
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: front seven. I don't know if they've encountered anyone yet

748
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: though that can take advantage of all those numbers coming forward.

749
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: And the stat from a few weeks ago is that

750
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 1: Kevin Jennings. Now, I don't know if how these numbers

751
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: have moved in light of last week, but until fairly recently,

752
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 1: Kevin Jennings has a higher or had a higher completion

753
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: percentage against the blitz than he did just sitting back

754
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: in the pocket. Yes, which is kind of a backwards

755
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 1: way of thinking of things here, right. I am curious

756
00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 1: to see if Pitt's strength brings out Kevin Jennings' strength.

757
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: It feels clunky to me too, Yeah, but I'm curious

758
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:07,879
Speaker 1: to see how the lines play in and how that

759
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 1: pit blitz effects or does not affect Kevin Jennings and

760
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 1: his ability to move the ball through the air. Okay,

761
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 1: but thirty four to thirty one SMU again, I think

762
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: a fun game. I've been talking this one up for

763
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks now. I hope people have a

764
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: chance to watch this one if they have the ACC

765
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 1: network or can like borrow somebody's password. To log into

766
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: ESPN dot.

767
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 2: Coorxt tie six one. Oh yeah, keep going, Tie.

768
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm excited about this game, and it's very

769
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: meaningful with respect to the ACC. You know, these are

770
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: two of the unbeaten ACC teams right now and they

771
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: both need it. So we'll see, we'll see coming out

772
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 1: of this one when we talk about things on Hopefully

773
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: it's over by the time we record that we can

774
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 1: at least offer some comment on this, but at a

775
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: minimum Tuesday to circle back.

776
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 2: And talk about this one. Definitely, So we agree, I

777
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 2: guess right. We agree. Let's build some quads.

778
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: Dan. There weren't a whole lot of other true headliners

779
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: that jumped out to me, but there are a bunch

780
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 1: of intriguing matchups throughout the course of the day.

781
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 2: I think about the heart, the passion, the love, the

782
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 2: commitment and energy you're willing to put into an.

783
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: We call this segment the quad Fathers. We go through

784
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: each block of games, we build your ideal quads. If

785
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,760
Speaker 1: that's the thing you can do either via your streaming

786
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 1: provider or manually. If you're one of the.

787
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,280
Speaker 2: Real ones, Dan, one of the real ones.

788
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: Twelve pm ESPN, we got old Miss minus six and

789
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: a half on the road at Arkansas twelve o'clock on

790
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: the c DUB Virginia Tech minus four at Syracuse, twelve

791
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:46,760
Speaker 1: a clock eastern on ABC. Duke at Miami, Miami favored

792
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: by twenty and I've included in here twelve forty five

793
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 1: just for the hell of it. Diego Pavia getting another

794
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: bite at that. Hugh Freeze Apple m Vandy at Auburn.

795
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,280
Speaker 2: Auburn at home, favored by six and a half.

796
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: Who you got, Okay?

797
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 2: I am going to go Arkansas plus points. Ooh yeah,

798
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,919
Speaker 2: I think the offense is enough. We've so this game

799
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 2: has gone back and forth with ole Miss winning the

800
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 2: games in Oxford and Arkansas winning the games in Fayetteville

801
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 2: these last few years, including I want to say a

802
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 2: fifty two to fifty one Ole Miss win two years ago.

803
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 1: Some of these games have gotten weird.

804
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 2: They have that Lane Kiffin after the fact, basically, when interviewed,

805
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 2: Sideline said I hate how I feel right now, Like

806
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,760
Speaker 2: he just had a full emotional moment in a winning effort.

807
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 2: He was like, I don't want to feel this way anymore.

808
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 2: It was great, and I fully identify with that, but

809
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 2: I'm going to take the points there because I think

810
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 2: Arkansas's offense has had a good amount of pop lately. Pa, Pa,

811
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 2: That's right, that's pop pop. That's magnitude from Community A PO.

812
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 2: I love it, and I think they can score along

813
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 2: with them. So I think it's going to be a shootout,

814
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 2: something somewhere in the vein of thirty eight thirty four,

815
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 2: something like that. Somebody. I'm gonna taking the points there.

816
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: See, I've got ole Miss by multiple scores.

817
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 2: Really, I do.

818
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: Arkansas might be the most talked about five and three team,

819
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: even more so than Michigan, at least on that show,

820
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 1: because they got the brutal schedule. They play most of

821
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: the teams of Merit in the SEC. But I'm not

822
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:17,439
Speaker 1: ready to give up on ole Miss yet.

823
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 2: I think ole Miss can win this game. I just

824
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:21,800
Speaker 2: think it's gonna be very difficult to separate.

825
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to give up on them yet. I

826
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 1: am out on ole Miss as like a playoff team.

827
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,439
Speaker 1: I think that ship is sailed, right, But I think

828
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 1: in terms of turning in another ten and two season,

829
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: they can do that, and I think they win this

830
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: one going away. I like the matchup for him.

831
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 2: Actually, I am giving points. I think Virginia Tech on

832
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 2: the road on CW against Syracuse.

833
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,399
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, I think Tech's undervalued right now.

834
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 2: I agree with this, Okay, So Virginia Tech is a

835
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 2: I'll still call it weird and questionable series of decisions

836
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 2: at the end of the Miami game from having I

837
00:41:56,560 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 2: think a better and stronger reputation of where they are

838
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:04,359
Speaker 2: right now. I'm not saying Syracuse is what they were

839
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 2: against Pitt. I'm not saying that. To know Kyle McCord

840
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 2: is capable of five picks, it just scares me. He's

841
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 2: not gonna throw five picks. He probably won't throw two

842
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 2: or three picks against Virginia Tech. Against Virginia Tech, excuse me,

843
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 2: but that he's capable. It scares me a little bit.

844
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,359
Speaker 2: With the way Virginia Tech has been playing, especially with

845
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 2: what they can do when they're running well, I'm gonna

846
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 2: take Virginia Tech on the road here. All Diego Pavia

847
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 2: does is beat up on Hu frees. I'm gonna take

848
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 2: Vandy on the road to cover if not when I

849
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 2: just sorry, I'm taking points Duke at Miami. Many Diaz

850
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 2: revenge game. It's a Many revenge game. Nanny Diaz revenge game.

851
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,760
Speaker 1: Baby, Come on, he's taking that hair back to South

852
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: Beach where his dad was the mayor.

853
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 2: Yes, something like that. Man, he's got an ax to grind.

854
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: With this program. How could you not take the points?

855
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 2: Well, look, so they it's a let down spot in

856
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 2: that the end of the SMU game was certainly deflating

857
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 2: for Duke. They were right there to beat a good

858
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:10,479
Speaker 2: SMU team, but it seems like it's too many points.

859
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 2: This does seem like a game that previous iterations of

860
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 2: Mario christobaul in a letdown spot after establishing dominance against

861
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 2: Florida State, loses or barely survives against Duke here. I

862
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 2: don't think Duke has enough pop thanks Magnitude p PO

863
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 2: to score with Miami, but I think Duke up front

864
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 2: can maybe force a mistake or two from cam Ward

865
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 2: slow this game down a little bit. I don't know.

866
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 2: Twenty seven to seventeen Miami.

867
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: Well, Duke forced a bunch of turnovers last week, Yes

868
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 1: they did, and like I think if their defense is

869
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: just interesting here.

870
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 2: I like that it's early too, by the way, ty yeah,

871
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,280
Speaker 2: I like that it's that sleepy noon or in Miami.

872
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, No, I look the Miami offensive scored

873
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: at least thirty six points in every game this season.

874
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 1: Duke is only scored twenty seven once. If Duke's gonna

875
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: win this game, if Duke's gonna stay within this number,

876
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 1: it's gonna be by virtue of their defense. We know

877
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 1: they can force turnover, as we know Manny Diaz right now,

878
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 1: what that looks like, right, It's always kind of looked

879
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 1: the same. I think they can stay within that number.

880
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,359
Speaker 1: I think Miami wins. But I'm going on Duke plus

881
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 1: the twenty.

882
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 2: A little bit of pre sip possibly in the forecast,

883
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 2: fifteen sixty mile an hour wins humid. I'm just saying.

884
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:29,240
Speaker 1: Another game you could sub in FS one Minnesota minus

885
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: three at Illinois.

886
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 2: I really like Minnesota here.

887
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 1: I am so ready to be heard again by Minnesota.

888
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 1: I'm so ready. I feel like they burn me every

889
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: year in this spot. I always boomerang back to Minnesota.

890
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I don't know why. I was

891
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: only in Minnesota one time in my life with you

892
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 1: love my time there as cold as hell. Yeah, they

893
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 1: burned me every year. Last week is a really good

894
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 1: situation for them, at home with Mayor and coming off

895
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: that USC win, but they look good. It wasn't just

896
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: a situational thing. The offense was humming. There is an

897
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: interesting quirk in this game in the blitzing stats. Okay,

898
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:17,320
Speaker 1: Minnesota is one of the least blitzed teams in college football,

899
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 1: only about nineteen percent of the time when they drop back. Meanwhile,

900
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,439
Speaker 1: Illinois blitz is about thirty five percent of the time

901
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: when a team drops back. So we're going with this

902
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 1: is how does Max Brosmer? How does that Minnesota line

903
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 1: handle that blitz? That to me is the whole thing. Okay,

904
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 1: the whole thing. I would also add that teams are

905
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: blitzing the farm against Illinois and Luke Altmeyer because they

906
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 1: are not good at protecting him at all. Minnesota has

907
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 1: blitzedey fair amount to its credit. I like Minnesota a lot. Here,

908
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: I am inclined. Oh, I don't know if I want

909
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 1: to do it. They're a road team, let's do it.

910
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:54,919
Speaker 1: What the hell?

911
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:56,399
Speaker 2: Wow of the week.

912
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 1: It just seems like a really bad matchup for me

913
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,840
Speaker 1: for Illinois. I don't know. I don't like this matchup

914
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:06,800
Speaker 1: for Illinois.

915
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 2: Okay, So how you get to Minnesota is by being

916
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 2: a team that can possess the ball, can push them around,

917
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 2: have the ability to push them around a little bit.

918
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,320
Speaker 2: That's Iowa. It's Michigan, and they're right there against Michigan.

919
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 2: Not Iowa, right, Not Illinois, No, it just isn't. Illinois

920
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:30,839
Speaker 2: got some playmakers on defense in the back, and I

921
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 2: like Luke Altmeyer. I like the receivers. But this Minnesota

922
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 2: team has done a great job in preventing big plays.

923
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:41,399
Speaker 2: So if you're telling me Illinois needs to be thoughtful

924
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:44,840
Speaker 2: and patient and just figure out how to get to

925
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 2: third and three every time, I don't think they have

926
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:50,320
Speaker 2: that ability. So I'm going with Minnesota here on the road,

927
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 2: maybe to turn them over a couple of years.

928
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:55,240
Speaker 1: They're gonna win sixteen to fourteen and screw me on that.

929
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 2: Lock Illinois coming off of the Oregon game, I don't know,

930
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 2: like soda here twenty to thirteen. By the way, early on,

931
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,400
Speaker 2: there's some other interesting ones. I'll go. I'll buzz through

932
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 2: them really quick. I like Army big over air Force.

933
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 2: NC State giving ten points against anybody's hilarious. But Stanford

934
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 2: does nothing if not lose by many points every week,

935
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 2: although they were competitive against Wake last week. I like

936
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:21,319
Speaker 2: Utsa by the way, at home against Memphis. I think

937
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 2: that's kind of a tasty matchup. I like that one.

938
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 2: And Purdue Northwestern Perdue coming off of bye they're gonna

939
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 2: beat Northwestern at home. Continue.

940
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 1: It's built some aster new quads.

941
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 2: Okay, question to you is how bad can you really

942
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:36,360
Speaker 2: want play? Oh?

943
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 1: My god, only got three games in this squad. You're

944
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 1: gonna have to fill in a fourth.

945
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,400
Speaker 2: Okay. Florida Georgia is the first.

946
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,959
Speaker 1: One that's obvious. Three thirty ABC on Peacock, three thirty

947
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: Eastern Indiana minus seven on the road at Michigan State,

948
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: and three point thirty on ESPN. Texas Tech at Iowa State.

949
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 1: Iowa State favored by thirteen and a half points. I

950
00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:01,799
Speaker 1: looked at some of these other matchups. UCLA Nebraska isn't

951
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: particularly interesting to me. Okay, Kansas State at Houston, North

952
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:11,760
Speaker 1: Carolina FSU Arizona, UCF Navy at Rice is interesting to me. Okay,

953
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 1: Coastal Carolina at Troy is interesting to me. I kind

954
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:17,799
Speaker 1: of like Coastal Carolina minus four and a half. I

955
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm watching those games though. I struggled

956
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 1: truly with a fourth team. To put a fourth game

957
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,440
Speaker 1: to put in this squad. So maybe that fourth game

958
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: is actually Orega Michigan.

959
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 2: So yeah, so okay, you are leaving out. So it's

960
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 2: Texas Tech, Iowa State, Indiana, Michigan State. Is that one

961
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 2: of them in Florida or Florida Georgia? Yeah, okay, I

962
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 2: think those are good quads. I love the Kansas State

963
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 2: Houston opportunity for Houston. Why Kansas State coming off of

964
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:51,760
Speaker 2: a last second letdown win in a rivalry game. Yes, yes,

965
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 2: I don't think Houston's great. I think defensively they're interesting

966
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 2: and Kansas State obviously has put themselves in position too

967
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:04,880
Speaker 2: maybe potentially sort of win this conference. I love love

968
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:08,720
Speaker 2: that Arizona and UCF were playing against each other. These

969
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 2: two teams have combined for nine straight losses. Okay, these

970
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 2: two teams are showing themselves to be varied and specific

971
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,840
Speaker 2: at the same time, they are world class losers Arizona

972
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:25,439
Speaker 2: and UCF. I have called this one the Cesta Bowl.

973
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 2: Somebody needs to win Cesta Bowl. Col In, somebody who's

974
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 2: gonna get off what do you say, get off the Schneide.

975
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:34,839
Speaker 2: I think UCF has lost five straight in Arizona four

976
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 2: Maybe I flipped that, so I actually like Arizona here

977
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 2: on the road against UCF.

978
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:43,799
Speaker 1: Bear in mind though UCF now might have a little

979
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:47,760
Speaker 1: extra pop. Give me the sound on defense, No, Ted.

980
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 2: Ruth, Ted Ruth, I understand, roof is out. I just

981
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 2: enjoy that. Somebody's gonna need to win that game. I

982
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 2: like that. I like North Carolina minus two and a

983
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 2: half against Florida State. I don't know if you should

984
00:49:56,960 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 2: be watching this one North Carolina very quietly, very look

985
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 2: at the resident their schedule. This could be an eight

986
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:06,360
Speaker 2: and fourteen if they have indeed turned a corner post

987
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 2: by week win over Virginia. Okay, they're not catastrophically bad

988
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:15,320
Speaker 2: on defense, they are merely below average. They were catastrophically

989
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:18,839
Speaker 2: bad against James Madison. I grant you. I actually would

990
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 2: watch UCLA Nebraska as my fourth on Big Ten Network?

991
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 1: Is Yogi calling that game?

992
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 2: Guy and Guy and Joggy are calling that game? Ok

993
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:29,360
Speaker 2: there is something about uc It's too many points for

994
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:33,880
Speaker 2: me for Nebraska's offense in this spot. I think UCLA's

995
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 2: offense is okay. Nebraska's offense has shown itself to be

996
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:42,800
Speaker 2: below average this year. I don't know. I think Ucla

997
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 2: can make that one a little bit weird and interesting,

998
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:47,359
Speaker 2: so that might be my fourth one there.

999
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:49,719
Speaker 1: I don't really have a pick in that game, but

1000
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 1: I do have a pick in those three that I

1001
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 1: mentioned at the top place. I wanted to talk about

1002
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 1: the Florida Georgia game as part of the big Game

1003
00:50:56,760 --> 00:51:00,840
Speaker 1: segment because it's a rivalry, but spread sixteen and a

1004
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 1: half points, yeah, it doesn't project as a close game.

1005
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 1: Georgia has won the last two in this meeting by

1006
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,399
Speaker 1: twenty three and twenty two over the last two years,

1007
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 1: forty three to twenty, forty two to twenty Yeah, very consistent.

1008
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 1: So I guess if you use that logic and you

1009
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:21,760
Speaker 1: look at the points, bread Vegas is saying, what Florida,

1010
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 1: Florida's a bottle, a touchdown closer, something like that this

1011
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 1: year that they've been, which I think is fair given

1012
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 1: where Florida's a given where George is at. I do

1013
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 1: think the Gators are going to give him a better

1014
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:36,719
Speaker 1: game this year. I don't think they're gonna win, but

1015
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:39,840
Speaker 1: I do think there's some vulnerability on the Georgia side.

1016
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:43,759
Speaker 1: I do think Florida is probably better than meets the eye.

1017
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 1: Thirty four to twenty one. I got Georgia winning but

1018
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 1: not covering.

1019
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm reading into it too much because I'm with you.

1020
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:54,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take the points here. I like that Florida

1021
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 2: took care business against Kentucky. Obviously Georgia did not. That

1022
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 2: was a long time ago, though. I like that Florida

1023
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 2: against what might be the best defense in America, maybe

1024
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 2: just in terms of performance and points per drive whatever

1025
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:09,279
Speaker 2: in Tennessee took that game to overtime in which their

1026
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 2: starting quarterback got hurt and DJ Lagway it was very

1027
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:18,720
Speaker 2: close to leading this team to a win against Tennessee.

1028
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 2: I think Florida's competing here. I don't think ultimately Florida

1029
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:26,919
Speaker 2: has enough juice here, but I'm taking the points. Yeah,

1030
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:29,439
Speaker 2: you got the back of Georgia. I think you gotta

1031
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 2: go points here. I really do.

1032
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 1: And I like Georgie a lot. I mean, there's not

1033
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:35,880
Speaker 1: much reason to not like Georgia. They may not be

1034
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 1: as bulletproof as they've been in the past, they're still

1035
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:40,720
Speaker 1: a very good team, one of the best in the SEC,

1036
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 1: if not the country. Florida's gonna play hard. Florida is

1037
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:48,880
Speaker 1: going to play hard, and I do kind of shudder

1038
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 1: a little bit when I think of a true freshman

1039
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:54,279
Speaker 1: in DJ Lagway going up against totally this defense. But

1040
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:57,960
Speaker 1: I also think he's really talented, and I think he

1041
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 1: has had a chance to kind of grow into the role.

1042
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,800
Speaker 2: And Florida has more data to collect on the types

1043
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 2: of plays he likes, the types of throws he feels

1044
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:11,040
Speaker 2: confident in making, the types of throws he shouldn't be

1045
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:13,799
Speaker 2: making the types of plans that they should have on

1046
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:15,879
Speaker 2: third down or in the red zone or in higher

1047
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:19,440
Speaker 2: leverage moments with him. They're collecting internal data, which I

1048
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 2: think is nice. That said, Ty, I think there's a

1049
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:25,840
Speaker 2: fifteen percent chance this game ends fifty five to thirteen

1050
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 2: jos right, it's one hundred percent somewhere on this table, Yeah, somewhere.

1051
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 2: When you sim this game one hundred times, fifteen of

1052
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 2: those ends up with Georgia winning this game by forty.

1053
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 2: But enough of the sims in my mind, my very

1054
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:44,919
Speaker 2: silly brain, end up with I don't know, twenty seven

1055
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,239
Speaker 2: to twenty one, thirty three, twenty one, with something like that.

1056
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:49,920
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go Georgia here, Georgia to win Florida

1057
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 2: to cover.

1058
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 1: The Indiana Indiana minu is seven against Mishion State seem

1059
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:55,440
Speaker 1: to be good vibes that Curtis work is going to

1060
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 1: be back for this game, which is obviously a very

1061
00:53:57,360 --> 00:53:57,919
Speaker 1: very big deal.

1062
00:53:58,239 --> 00:53:58,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1063
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:03,480
Speaker 1: In order to this, Michigan State needs to score thirty points.

1064
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:09,399
Speaker 2: Thirty points, yeah, something like that, and Michigan State needs

1065
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 2: to finish drives.

1066
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: I don't think they can do that. And the fact

1067
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:16,280
Speaker 1: that they're super mistake prone. They're minus seven and turnover

1068
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:19,759
Speaker 1: ratio Indiana, by the way, plus eight, which is part

1069
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 1: of the story for Indiana this year. I could see

1070
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:25,480
Speaker 1: there being some potential weirdness in this game because this

1071
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 1: is really Michigan State's last bulletin board game that they're

1072
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 1: going to have circled. I'm just not sure it's going

1073
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 1: to stay weird for sixty minutes. I don't think Michigan

1074
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 1: State's got the horses right now, and it's it feels

1075
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:40,840
Speaker 1: very weird to say this about Indiana, but I you

1076
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 1: and I have watched enough Indiana at this point to

1077
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 1: say that they are legit. This is not smoking mirrors.

1078
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: They're very good. Thirty eight to twenty four. I've got

1079
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:50,920
Speaker 1: Indiana minus minus the number.

1080
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 2: Okay, so we have we're what a week two weeks

1081
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 2: looking in the rear very mirror of Michigan State beating

1082
00:54:57,080 --> 00:55:00,080
Speaker 2: Iowa by twelve at home. Correct, you can't fully say

1083
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:01,839
Speaker 2: that they're a different team at home because they lost

1084
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 2: by thirty one to Ohio State. If you like Michigan State,

1085
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:09,479
Speaker 2: you have to in concert say they're better at home.

1086
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:11,920
Speaker 2: This is what afternoon game.

1087
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:13,160
Speaker 1: Three thirty pm Eastern.

1088
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:16,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, on Peacock, they're better at home. And Indiana I

1089
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 2: don't think has played. They haven't finished with a one

1090
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:24,719
Speaker 2: touchdown win or won a single digit win. Right, all

1091
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:27,560
Speaker 2: of their wins have been by double digits. If Curtis

1092
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:30,560
Speaker 2: ark is the starter, Indiana wins by double digits. Give

1093
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 2: the points. If Tavin Jackson is the starter, I'm gonna

1094
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:37,200
Speaker 2: take the points. Okay, fair, that's fair, that's all.

1095
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:40,359
Speaker 1: And then the other one, Texas Tech against I always State,

1096
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:42,279
Speaker 1: I always State favorite by about thirteen and a half,

1097
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 1: fourteen points. I'm gonna go points here. I think the

1098
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 1: Clones win. I think it's like forty two to thirty. Okay,

1099
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:51,760
Speaker 1: there will be a lot of points. It just spooks

1100
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:55,440
Speaker 1: me out that UCF created so many big plays. A

1101
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:56,800
Speaker 1: couple weeks ago against Iowa.

1102
00:55:56,600 --> 00:56:00,319
Speaker 2: State, and that's not how Texas Tech has built though,

1103
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 2: I know.

1104
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:03,399
Speaker 1: But I think they can score. I think they could

1105
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:04,959
Speaker 1: score in Iowa State. I don't think they can stop

1106
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 1: Iowa State, but I think they can score. And after

1107
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:12,480
Speaker 1: again to that UCF game really spooked me out that

1108
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 1: that really threw me for a loop because I've been

1109
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 1: high at Iowa State this whole time. Yeah, and watching

1110
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:21,400
Speaker 1: that game, I had it up on the iPad as

1111
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 1: we were recording.

1112
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:23,359
Speaker 2: It was like, what is going on here?

1113
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 1: Guys? Stop them? You're supposed to have a defense. Yes,

1114
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:28,239
Speaker 1: that's why I'm taking points here.

1115
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,120
Speaker 2: I think I'm taking points here too, and I think

1116
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:33,399
Speaker 2: it's mostly because I think there's a back toward cover

1117
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 2: involved in this one. I think it's a comfortable Iowa

1118
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:38,160
Speaker 2: State win. But Iowa State has not been a good

1119
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 2: running team this year, so I'm not sure that I

1120
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:43,319
Speaker 2: trust Iowa State with a lead in a spot like this.

1121
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 1: Yes, a little bit of so I haven't played that

1122
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 1: sound ahole lot this year.

1123
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 2: I hate the Texas Tech defense, by the way, So

1124
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:51,719
Speaker 2: I think there's gonna be a lot of points in

1125
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 2: this game. I think you're right to sort of go

1126
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:56,720
Speaker 2: along that path. So I have it as like thirty

1127
00:56:56,760 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 2: eight to twenty seven somewhere in there. One other game.

1128
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 1: Am kind of in this window, not kind if it

1129
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 1: is in this window.

1130
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 2: Yes, in this window.

1131
00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:08,280
Speaker 1: Navy minus ten and a half against Rice.

1132
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:09,359
Speaker 2: On the road.

1133
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:12,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, this line's come down from twelve.

1134
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:18,960
Speaker 2: Rece just fired its coach. They did. The only caveat

1135
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:20,920
Speaker 2: here stopping.

1136
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 1: Me from really going in on Navy hard is that

1137
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 1: Rice has a decent enough defense and they've gotten better

1138
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:30,040
Speaker 1: now for three straight weeks coming out of their buy.

1139
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 1: They can't score, that's their problem, but defensively they've been

1140
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:39,240
Speaker 1: all right. So I am giving a heavy glance at

1141
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 1: Navy minus ten and a half right now as one

1142
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 1: of my money bets.

1143
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 2: What's the status of Blake Horvath and his beat up

1144
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:46,800
Speaker 2: thumb and hand?

1145
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 1: Unclear to me, Yeah, unclear to me, But I'm given

1146
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 1: a hearty glance at that one because Navy needs to win.

1147
00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:01,000
Speaker 1: Navy needs to hold Serve. Naybe is on a collision

1148
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:05,920
Speaker 1: course now with first two lane, and if they make

1149
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:09,560
Speaker 1: it past two lane Army for potentially that AAC championship game.

1150
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Navy's gonna blow them out. I don't know,

1151
00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 2: I think it's just a bad time to play Navy

1152
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 2: for Rice after firing a coach. Maybe you think there's

1153
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 2: a spark with an interim.

1154
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 1: But I don't. I don't.

1155
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:27,840
Speaker 2: Navy covers these lines, Tye. They cover if you're a

1156
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 2: flawed team, if your offense can't stay on the field,

1157
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,880
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, your defense, albeit a decent defense,

1158
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 2: has wobbly legs from playing forty eight minutes. I don't know.

1159
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 2: I'm giving those points pretty happily.

1160
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 1: Let's go to the night block. If we can't, welcome

1161
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:47,640
Speaker 1: to the pain zones. Where we live is mean zone.

1162
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:50,160
Speaker 1: There are some interesting games here in the nightcap. Yes,

1163
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 1: seven thirty ESPN Louisville at Clemson, Clemson minus ten and

1164
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:58,320
Speaker 1: a half, seven forty five, Big Ten Network, USC at

1165
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:04,600
Speaker 1: Washington eight pm ESPN two TCU at Baylor, and then

1166
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:07,439
Speaker 1: I also included this one. You could include Wisconsin, Iowa

1167
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:10,240
Speaker 1: if you want, Arizona State, Oklahoma State could be fun.

1168
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:14,880
Speaker 1: Kentucky against Tennessee might have some points of intrigue. By

1169
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:17,480
Speaker 1: the way, Mark Stops's buyout is forty five million, not

1170
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 1: four million dollars. I wouldn't be at the wrong mind surprising. Yeah,

1171
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:22,640
Speaker 1: got a bunch of folks who wrote in about that.

1172
00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:26,200
Speaker 1: Thank you. I appreciate the heads up. I pulled out

1173
00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:30,600
Speaker 1: Georgia Southern against South Alabama. Oh okay, this is a

1174
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 1: meaningful matchup between two three and one teams in the

1175
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 1: Sun Belt. South Alabama is favored by six points in

1176
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 1: this game. They are better on offense, they are better

1177
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 1: on defense. They just hammered Lois Louisiana Monroe, and they

1178
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:49,840
Speaker 1: are my second lock of the week.

1179
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:52,200
Speaker 2: Oh block of the week.

1180
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:57,600
Speaker 1: Going a little bit off the radar with some of

1181
00:59:57,640 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 1: these locks this week. I like South Alabama a lot

1182
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:00,680
Speaker 1: in this spot.

1183
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:06,360
Speaker 2: Okay, I as well like South Alabama. I like Baylor

1184
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 2: against TCU. I think their ability on offense and TCU's

1185
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 2: inability on defense to get off the field. I think

1186
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:16,440
Speaker 2: you could see a lot of long, extended drives in

1187
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:20,760
Speaker 2: the TCU defense wearing down and TCU even with a lead,

1188
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:23,040
Speaker 2: they have not been a good running team this year.

1189
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:25,320
Speaker 2: It's another team that I just don't trust to keep

1190
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 2: a lead. It was a nice TCU was the team

1191
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 2: that gave away the UCF game. I believe they were up,

1192
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 2: so I just I don't know. I don't trust TCU

1193
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:36,800
Speaker 2: with the lead at all, even with a nice one

1194
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:39,080
Speaker 2: last week against I believe Texas Tech. So I'm going

1195
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 2: Baylor here to keep the offense going with Jake Spavitol.

1196
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 2: My lock of the week right now is Iowa minus

1197
01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:47,440
Speaker 2: three and a half in that Heartland game. Block of

1198
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 2: the week.

1199
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 1: Why are you in on Iowa?

1200
01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:56,920
Speaker 2: A bit of a letdown spot for Wisconsin losing that

1201
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 2: game at home to Penn State. I will beat up

1202
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:03,240
Speaker 2: on Northwestern. They're looking good forty to fourteen. There is

1203
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:06,400
Speaker 2: something about Iowa and I just I'm not a Wisconsin

1204
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:08,680
Speaker 2: I think you have to have a quarterback to beat

1205
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 2: Iowa on some level, and I just don't think Wisconsin does. So,

1206
01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:13,720
Speaker 2: even though this game is going to be bruising, I

1207
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:15,840
Speaker 2: have Iowa twenty three fourteen.

1208
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 1: I believe it's now a Brendan Sullivan Iowa as well.

1209
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:22,640
Speaker 2: And it's now a Brendan Sullivan Iowa who again little

1210
01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:25,480
Speaker 2: more than Kate McNamara it seemed last week I have.

1211
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:28,480
Speaker 2: I'm taking the points with Washington. They're better at home.

1212
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:32,919
Speaker 2: USC has been on a tour of losses away from home.

1213
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:35,520
Speaker 2: They're going to lose in something like seven different states

1214
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:39,760
Speaker 2: this year. I'm going to go with USC away from home,

1215
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:42,680
Speaker 2: finding a way to lose twenty eight twenty seven. I'm

1216
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:47,320
Speaker 2: on sc Come on, really, you're in fairness. Should they

1217
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:48,959
Speaker 2: not be able to run the ball in this game?

1218
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:51,800
Speaker 2: They should? But do you trust Lincoln Riley to call

1219
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:53,960
Speaker 2: running plays when they're working? Absolutely no, if I do,

1220
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:57,360
Speaker 2: absolutely not no. I mean I jotted down they should

1221
01:01:57,360 --> 01:01:57,960
Speaker 2: be able to run?

1222
01:01:58,120 --> 01:01:59,400
Speaker 1: Right? Will they run?

1223
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 2: Mark right? There's just something like if you can find

1224
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:07,560
Speaker 2: a way to lose twenty eight twenty seven, Lincoln Riley

1225
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:10,120
Speaker 2: has been in like the stacks of the USC library

1226
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:13,640
Speaker 2: researching how to lose games twenty eight twenty seven. And look,

1227
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:16,800
Speaker 2: Washington loses dumb ways too. But I don't know. I

1228
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:19,320
Speaker 2: think there's something about Washington with their own ability to run.

1229
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:23,280
Speaker 2: And I just look at the very least somebody is winning.

1230
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 2: Somebody's winning this game twenty eight twenty seven. And I'm

1231
01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:28,400
Speaker 2: gonna take the points. I'm going sc all right, I

1232
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:32,720
Speaker 2: have fun, I'm have fun. We'll see, we'll see.

1233
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:35,800
Speaker 1: I'm on SC here, I'm on Clemson minus the number

1234
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:36,600
Speaker 1: against Louisville.

1235
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:37,320
Speaker 2: Oh I am not.

1236
01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:40,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna fall back on something you said a few

1237
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Okay, And I don't remember if it was

1238
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:45,280
Speaker 1: publicly on a show or if it was privately when

1239
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:47,800
Speaker 1: we were just sort of discussing things, But you said

1240
01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:49,920
Speaker 1: Tyler Shuck's a medium game quarterback.

1241
01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 2: He is a medium game quarterback.

1242
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:53,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not a big game quarterback. He's a medium

1243
01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:57,840
Speaker 1: game quarterback. And he's having a good year. More importantly,

1244
01:02:57,840 --> 01:03:01,360
Speaker 1: he's healthy for the first time and maybe forever. I

1245
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:03,640
Speaker 1: just don't see Clemson having trouble here coming out of

1246
01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 1: a bye week. I think Clemson's a real deal. I

1247
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:08,800
Speaker 1: really I have a lot of belief in Clemson right now.

1248
01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:13,440
Speaker 1: Now that being said, the schedule in November is more

1249
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 1: of a firmer test that we've seen recently for Clemson.

1250
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:18,760
Speaker 1: Oh yes, the schedule gets tougher, and this is kind

1251
01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 1: of the initial wave of that. I think Louisville is

1252
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:24,440
Speaker 1: a four or five lost team. I just think that's

1253
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:27,240
Speaker 1: who they are right now. I'm not totally sold in

1254
01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 1: this team being able to go into Clemson and knockoff

1255
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:32,600
Speaker 1: the Tigers. Ten and a half is a bigger number,

1256
01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:34,600
Speaker 1: but I'm give me the Tigers here.

1257
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:38,800
Speaker 2: Louisville strikes me as a team that beats Okay teams

1258
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:42,480
Speaker 2: by single digits and loses to good teams by single digits.

1259
01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:45,360
Speaker 1: Right, they play up to and down to all of

1260
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:46,080
Speaker 1: their competition.

1261
01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:48,960
Speaker 2: I think that's what we have on hand here. I

1262
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:51,720
Speaker 2: think Louisville is just good enough to lose this game

1263
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:56,040
Speaker 2: thirty eight to twenty eight, thirty seven, thirty something like that.

1264
01:03:56,120 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 2: Like they're just they're able to compete. They scored, you know,

1265
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:02,680
Speaker 2: forty five points against Miami. I believe they lose to

1266
01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:05,200
Speaker 2: Notre Dame by seven. They lose to SMU by six

1267
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:08,640
Speaker 2: or seven. They're a competitive team that just doesn't have

1268
01:04:08,680 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 2: that extra po And thus we have Clemson winning by

1269
01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 2: seven to eleven points.

1270
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:18,640
Speaker 1: I've also got ASU minus three on the road at

1271
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:19,320
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State.

1272
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 2: You have ASU winning this game. I do, Yeah, I

1273
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:26,720
Speaker 2: have ASU winning this game as well. I think Sam

1274
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:29,360
Speaker 2: Levitt is playing coming off of a bye. Now that

1275
01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 2: I've got all my BIE weeks all mixed up, I

1276
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:34,920
Speaker 2: believe it is. And so yeah, I Oklahoma State. As

1277
01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:37,520
Speaker 2: much as I enjoyed the fight in that game against BYU,

1278
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:40,480
Speaker 2: I just don't trust this offense at all week to week.

1279
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:43,800
Speaker 2: So I'm going with ASU to have some fun on

1280
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:44,560
Speaker 2: the road.

1281
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:47,120

1302
01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:41,360
Speaker 2: give the points Tennessee. Oh, Kentucky. Yeah, I don't know

1303
01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:43,720
Speaker 2: where Kentucky's at right now. I think I think that

1304
01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:46,160
Speaker 2: one this might be a get right moment for Tennessee,

1305
01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:49,280
Speaker 2: especially on the ground against Kentucky after last week's performance

1306
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:52,040
Speaker 2: from jarq Wes Hunter. I like Tennessee on the ground

1307
01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:54,960
Speaker 2: to like this just feels like a crock potting opportunity

1308
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 2: to win a game thirty five to thirteen.

1309
01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:02,480
