1
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal hell that for me, I'm

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: a man, I'm forty. I've heard so many players say, well,

3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:10,639
Speaker 1: I want to be happy.

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 2: You want to be happy?

5
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: For Dake Edith state is that whoo whoom? And Dan

6
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: and Tie Daniel Week seven, officially in the books, gather

7
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 1: around the campfire, one and all.

8
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 2: It's crackling, Tie, it's crackling.

9
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: Get those emotions out. Perhaps the next hour or so

10
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: can serve as a Catharsis for you, wherever you may be.

11
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: Thank you for listening to the solid verbal. I'm Tie,

12
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: He's Dan. We have a full campfire theme this evening.

13
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: We will dive in not to the fire, but to

14
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: the content, I promise you. Momentarily, Dan Rubinstein joined me

15
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 1: from the West Coast, sort of where it all started,

16
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: right here on the solid verbal recording. This a lot

17
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: earlier in your time Zoneia.

18
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 2: It's the best. It's the best time. I think I

19
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 2: have more energy. I'm at a buddy's place right now

20
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: in the West Coast in LA and quite excited. Even

21
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 2: though I'm gonna probably have to go through some emotions

22
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: to get to the finish line of this show. I

23
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 2: argue that might even make for a better show, hopefully.

24
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, that's the point, right If we're

25
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: sitting around the campfire. That's what you do with a campfire.

26
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: You sit around, you get your emotions out, you play,

27
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: you play some guitar poorly in most cases. You tell stories.

28
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: That's what this is. It's an hour of storytelling. It

29
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: just so happens. We've got a lot of college football

30
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: to talk about. Let's get rolling with our fire starters.

31
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 2: Let's do it.

32
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: Well, castaway to get things started. Dan Rubinstein Washington thirty six,

33
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: Oregon thirty three. The Oregon Ducks. Oregon Ducks had him, Dan,

34
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: They had him. It felt like they had him. It

35
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: felt like Dan Lanning was a little bit like the

36
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: guy at the blackjack table who just decides, you know what,

37
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna split the sixes. I'm enjoying myself. I just

38
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: want to press my luck and then it all sort

39
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: of goes wrong and you bust on both hands. He

40
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: decides to go for it and fourth down doesn't work out,

41
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 1: gives a ball back to Michael Pennix. Michael Pennix does

42
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: what Michael Pennix does, made him pay, and that's how

43
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: Washington ended up winning. I know there was a lot

44
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: more that went into it, but that's certainly how it ended.

45
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: I know you posted a video out and YouTube channel.

46
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: People can go and watch that. But before I waxed

47
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: poetic about my thoughts on this game and bo Nix

48
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: and Penix and whatever else, Dan Lanning, we had people

49
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: calling in about Dan Lanning? What were your thoughts?

50
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 2: How much time do you have?

51
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 3: Ty?

52
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: Okay, So big picture of the game rhythmically sort of

53
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 2: went how we thought it would go, right that Michael

54
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: Pennix really threw some incredible balls, and Washington actually ran

55
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 2: better than I thought they would be able to do,

56
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 2: although Oregon hasn't been strong against the run this season.

57
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 2: But look, everybody's going to talk about a singular thing

58
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 2: in this game. For as great as Michael Pennix appeared

59
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 2: to be at times, especially he was beat up in

60
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 2: that second half, he was taking some shots, he was

61
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 2: hurt in that second half, and he was and was

62
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: an absolute warrior staying in there, hanging in there, especially

63
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 2: when they got the ball back at midfield driving down

64
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 2: to take the eventual commanding and winning touchdown. It's a

65
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 2: decision thing, and it's an execution thing for Oregon. Because

66
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 2: Oregon was able to climb back into this game because

67
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: of their defense, because of their pass rush, because of

68
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 2: their ability to get off the field against an excellent

69
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: offense in Washington. It was not converting fourth downs, it

70
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 2: was not taking the points after that interception free points.

71
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 2: I would remind you, and I'm very much a proponent

72
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 2: of being aggressive, that this was a touchdown party. And

73
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 2: it's hard to win games that are touchdown parties with

74
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: field goals. But in the case where you're able to

75
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 2: flip the field and give yourself an extra possession right

76
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: before half and you're getting the ball back to start

77
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: and you have that opportunity, that middle eight opportunity, it's

78
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 2: always easy in retrospect to say take the points. You

79
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: gotta take the points. Absolutely, take the points. I like aggression,

80
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 2: but what was clear was Oregon was not prepared to

81
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 2: execute in those high leverage moments. They did not have

82
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,799
Speaker 2: the plays. They did not have winning plays on fourth

83
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: and short, on third and short all that often, and

84
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 2: so that was the difference. I think it's important to

85
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 2: separate decisions from results, but also if you're making decisions

86
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 2: and the plays you're running seem uninspired and don't give

87
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 2: you a like an incredible chance, Like they weren't running

88
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 2: Bonnicks right there, weren't. It wasn't a zone read situation

89
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 2: where he was a running threat. They could collapse on

90
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 2: the run without worry for that. Like I think Joe

91
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 2: moorehead calling this offense this is an Oregon win. Now,

92
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 2: we don't exist in that reality, but I thought this

93
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: was a pretty telling situation for the status of Oregon's offense,

94
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: which I think is the best, pretty good offense in

95
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 2: America right now, because even though the numbers suggest that

96
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 2: they're an elite offense, in a game like this where

97
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 2: there's very little in the way of forget a vertical

98
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 2: passing threat, but an intermediate passing threat, it was a

99
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 2: lot of short stuff with a couple of shots in there,

100
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 2: not a ton of variety. So I thought Washington's defense

101
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 2: performed super well against Oregon at times, but Oregan was

102
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 2: still running the ball relatively well, and so this was

103
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 2: a game that Oregon, unfortunately, it was not able to

104
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 2: be good enough to win. I've said this earlier on

105
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 2: in the season. I think winning is a skill, and

106
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 2: I think Washington was a more pronounced winner on the

107
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 2: field so that's my takeaway that Oregon is not a

108
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 2: full winning operation right now. And again, I have no

109
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 2: problem with going forward on fourth down, but when that's

110
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 2: what the execution looks like, it's back to the drawing board.

111
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 2: What did I say about Penn State Excelsior? What's your

112
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 2: go to package? What is your unbeatle Like you have

113
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 2: this playing NCAA football, right, Ty? You have three plays

114
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 2: where you're like, it's third and four. This is a

115
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 2: no brainer. This is automatic and ninety four percent of

116
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 2: the time for an advanced you know, controllsman like yourself.

117
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 2: That's right, thank you, it is. And so that to

118
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 2: me was the issue. This is an Oregon team that

119
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 2: was not ready for primetime. And I've said this a

120
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 2: bajillion times. Good teams take advantage of opportunities. And I

121
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 2: don't have a problem with not punting because Washington was

122
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 2: going to drive those twenty thirty net yards in a minute,

123
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 2: thirty seconds whatever, But you have to you have to

124
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 2: have a better idea of what will and should work

125
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 2: when you have that kind of experience and talent. And

126
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 2: the Oregon offense was a mess, and the Washington offense

127
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 2: was even though they were slowed down considerably. They were

128
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 2: the best thing on the field because they rose to

129
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 2: the occasion more often. Even with those goal line stops,

130
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 2: that crucial goal line stop near the end of the game.

131
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 2: It was a Washington team prepared to take advantage of

132
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 2: opportunities in a way that Oregon wasn't, And that, to me,

133
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 2: it was the story of the game.

134
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: Man. What is it about these fourth and short scenarios?

135
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: Even third and short in some cases? I feel like

136
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: we had this exact same conversation a couple weeks ago

137
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: when it was Notre Dame against Ohio, and that was

138
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: my gripe about the play calling. Actually, I went nuts

139
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 1: about that play calling on our preview episode before week

140
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: seven and how I thought it might get in It

141
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: didn't get in the way this evening for Notre Dame

142
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: usc But Alas, we have certainly seen our moments where

143
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: it seems these high leverage situations pop up and for

144
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: whatever reason, it's almost like they overthink it, right usc

145
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: For whatever you want to say about usc Us, he

146
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: gives the ball to Caleb Williams and says, fake the

147
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: handoff and run around the end on fourth down. In

148
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: a lot of cases, the Philadelphia Eagles just push jail,

149
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: it hurts over the line, and it works like ninety

150
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: percent of the time. Not everybody has that quote unquote excelsior,

151
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: but certainly to your point, Oregon, Yeah, made some questionable

152
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: decisions there when.

153
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: The decisions are okay, decisions were okay, but.

154
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: The results were less than optimal.

155
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, Well, I just think the decisions are defensible

156
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 2: if it's clear that there's a plan, and it's clear

157
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 2: like getting to two yards with an offensive line that's

158
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 2: been this good, with a running attack that's been this good,

159
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,559
Speaker 2: with the receivers and tight end that have been this good.

160
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 2: Like more than anything, I think this is on the

161
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 2: combination of Dan Lanning and Will Stein.

162
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: Well, that was gonna be my question. My question was

163
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: whose fault is it.

164
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 2: They've got a good punter, but I don't think that

165
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 2: makes a difference in this game. I don't think you

166
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 2: punt and win this game. Like I think there's just

167
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: this there's too many good receivers on Washington. You're dealing

168
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 2: with a backup corner in there because Jalil Florence, one

169
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: of the starting corners, goes down. Triquez bridges in there.

170
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 2: You saw Washington picking on him in those big moments,

171
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 2: and so I think the results are similar if you punt.

172
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 2: But I think Oregon wins this game if they're if

173
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 2: they get one fourth down conversed like that's that to

174
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 2: me is the game when you when you're in that

175
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 2: kind of driver's seat in that moment, with that kind

176
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 2: of experience and talent. I'm not gonna say Oregon lost

177
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 2: this game more than Washington won this game, because again,

178
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: I think winning as a skill and Washington was better

179
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 2: prepared to take advantage. But I'm wearing an Oregon shirt

180
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 2: right now. My vantage point.

181
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: Is get it out, man.

182
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 2: What ails Oregon comes down from the top and what

183
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 2: propels Washington is everybody being on the same page in

184
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 2: a better way.

185
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: Well, look, Washington stepped up, and I want to give

186
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: a shout out to Michael Pennix. Michael Pennix not really

187
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: a stranger to people who followed college football at this point,

188
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: probably your leading Heisman candidate through about halfway into the

189
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: season here, Michael Penix faced more pressure in this game

190
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: than I think we've seen him face to date. Michael

191
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: Pennix at moments seemed to struggle with that, but then

192
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: in the highest leverage moments throughout the course of the game,

193
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: delivered just some incredible, incredible strikes. I mean, the degree

194
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: of difficulty on some of those balls that he threw

195
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: hitting guys in stride as they're running step by step,

196
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: step step by step with some guys who are in

197
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: man coverage on the Oregon side, was damage impressive. And

198
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if NFL scouts are watching, I'd love

199
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: to read the readout after it, because this was a

200
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: hell of a performance by him, and no throw bigger

201
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: than that one that eventually won the game for him. Again,

202
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: your final score here thirty six to thirty three. Washington

203
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: has the entire season in front of it. Believe you me,

204
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: when I made the prediction, maybe it was the only

205
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 1: prediction I'll get right all season long, that Washington was

206
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 1: going to win the Pac twelve. I had no idea

207
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: that they would look this good. I had no idea

208
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: that they would look this good. They're performing admirably, and look,

209
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: there are other games that they need to get past.

210
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: This is just one of many, but this is a

211
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: hell of a start. Way, you know, to go seven

212
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: weeks into the season and be as formidable as they've looked.

213
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and to be clear, and I'm going to hurt

214
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 2: myself by hurt my back by patting it so hard.

215
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 2: Before the season said, I have Oregon winning the PAC twelve,

216
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 2: losing in Seattle, and winning in Vegas. I hope as

217
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 2: an Oregon person that happened. But I hope even more

218
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 2: as a college football human that happens because this was

219
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 2: a really fun game. Not for me, but it was

220
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 2: clear that a lot of people had a lot of

221
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 2: fun watching this game. So these appear to be the

222
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 2: two most complete teams. Because I assume we're going to

223
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 2: talk about USC here soon in the conference, and so

224
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 2: if we can get this in Vegas Conference championship week,

225
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 2: that seems like a win for the spotlight, the dwindling,

226
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 2: fading spotlight on the PAC twelve.

227
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: Why don't we stay in the PAC twelve and shift

228
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: over to the Notre Dame USC game. Let's forty eight

229
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: twenty was your final score? My prediction was thirty eight

230
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: to twenty USC.

231
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 2: And mine?

232
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: What was your prediction? You didn't pick USC?

233
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 3: No?

234
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 2: I picked Notre Dame to win outright, I just I don't.

235
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 2: I had them covering like twenty four to seventeen lower

236
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 2: scoring and could not anticipate the absolute collapse of the

237
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 2: USC offense and the defense. We know about the offensive

238
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 2: first half collapse of USC.

239
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: Whoop God. I am just relieved sitting here in this

240
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:06,119
Speaker 1: safe space among Oliver Baller hood, that my reverse jinks

241
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: still oh s got it, baby, sure still got it

242
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: locked up. USC plus the two and a half in

243
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: reality needed about thirty two and a half. Dan, You're right.

244
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: The USC offense imploded. Five turnovers, three picks from Cable Williams.

245
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: They weren't all pretty picks either. They were under duress

246
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: and Cable Williams trying to make a play and not good.

247
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: Good game for Xavier Watts on the Notre Dame side,

248
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 1: who had two of those picks forced a fumble, also

249
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: recovered to fumble and ran it in for six late

250
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: in the game. But no. Caleb Williams was far short

251
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: of expectations in this one. He faced more pressure than

252
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: he has I think through you know, to any point

253
00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: to date here in this season. He was not able

254
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 1: to use his legs to extend plays in the same

255
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: manner that I think he is accustomed to doing. Notre

256
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: Dame is a real defense I was going to say,

257
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: I attribute that to the fact that Notre Dame is

258
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: just better defensively, and we saw the results of that

259
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: just one hundred and ninety nine yards passing for Caleb Williams.

260
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: Of course, he made plays, It's what Caleb Williams does.

261
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: But for an offense that, as you mentioned, I think

262
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: rightfully a couple of days ago, that is built entirely

263
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,439
Speaker 1: around him. When he is not able to go out

264
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: there and eat in the same manner, that is obviously

265
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: going to pose some problems. So the combination of turning

266
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: the ball over, the combination of not having Caleb Williams

267
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: as his optimal self obviously created a bit of an

268
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: opening for Notre Dame. If you did not watch this game,

269
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: if you just simply were to look at the box scorer,

270
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: you'd look at the at the numbers and say, what,

271
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: Notre Dame didn't do anything spectacular. Notre Dame won this

272
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: game essentially using its defense as the springboard to create

273
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: short fields, to put its offense in a city situation

274
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: where they're not backed up at their own goal line

275
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: having to win games heroically like they did a couple

276
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: weeks ago. This was very much laid out for them

277
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: on a silver platter, and to their credit, to Marcus

278
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: Freeman's credit, to Jared Parker's credit, they did what they

279
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 1: needed to do to win. This was not rocket science.

280
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: They were able to run the ball, they were able

281
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: to make some throws. Sam Hartman did not need to

282
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: go out there and win the game with his arm,

283
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: but he made some throws when he had to. The

284
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: defense stepped up and put the offense in a really

285
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: good situation. And if you're a Notre Dame fan, this

286
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: was a breath of fresh air. Perhaps a week too late, Dan,

287
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: but sure, that being said, you'll take the win over

288
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: the biggest rival anyway you can get it. I don't

289
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: know from afar, speaking as a Notre Dame fan, whether

290
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: the talking point will be that Notre Dame got its

291
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: act together went out there and drilled USC by twenty

292
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: eight points, or if the talking point is going to

293
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: be a USC collapsed and the number ten team in

294
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: the country against one of its biggest rivals on the road. Look, pedestrian,

295
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: my hunch is my hunch is the latter is what

296
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: people will be talking about more so than a two

297
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: loss team knocking off the USC Trojans, But at least

298
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: from my vantage point as a Notre Dame fan, this

299
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: was a welcome breath of fresh air after three weeks

300
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: of being on pins and needles at night.

301
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 2: Yes, and look, this goes back to like you're never

302
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 2: as bad as your worst day, You're never as good

303
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 2: as your best day. And so that's I guess why

304
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 2: I felt pretty good about Notre Dame, that they're still

305
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 2: built to beat a team like USC, especially at home.

306
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 2: And I think the story, actually, you ask what the

307
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 2: story is, right, Notre Dame righting the ship and looking

308
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 2: much more competent on both sides of the ball than

309
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 2: they have been, or USC collapsing. I think it's USC.

310
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 2: USC was undefeated, even though people knew that this was

311
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 2: a flawed USC team coming in the heights of Caleb

312
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 2: Williams and the nature of USC's recent games going to

313
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 2: what triple overtime again, Arizona, you know, playing closer than

314
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 2: they should have against ASU and Colorado letting Colorado back

315
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 2: into that game. I think this was like anticipated from

316
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 2: us C, like this isn't a USC that could keep

317
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 2: up what it was doing on the field these past

318
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 2: few weeks, and Notre Dame was right place, right time,

319
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 2: right kind of team, and you should have gone with

320
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 2: your gut early on the season. Your your messages to

321
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 2: me were like Notre Dame could just bully USC, and

322
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to be close.

323
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: That was like two weeks ago.

324
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it wasn't that long ago. And you just you're

325
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 2: you run hot at this campfire, Tie, I.

326
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: Am starting to think that my picks. I'm starting to

327
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: think that there is a real reverse Jink situation going

328
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: on this year.

329
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 2: I try, though, Tye, I like I actively on the preview,

330
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 2: I think I'm having a pretty decent year. I haven't

331
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 2: run the numbers, but like I actively say, like ty

332
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 2: I don't do this as a reverse Jinx. Do you

333
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 2: actually think USC is going to on the road the

334
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 2: way that they've been playing beat Notre Dame? And you said,

335
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 2: absolutely no question in my mind.

336
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: Double digits comment to you and others has been I

337
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 1: have tried the logic method when it comes to making

338
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: my picks, and that doesn't work. So let's just pick

339
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 1: with raw emotion and see what happens. And I still

340
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: got it wrong, but at least I at least I

341
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: got the witness a win.

342
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 2: And so okay, can I can I ask you a

343
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 2: question about Notre Dame moving forward? Obviously, this is not

344
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 2: a team that's going to go to a four team

345
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 2: playoff having lost twice the teams that they lose to

346
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 2: and the teams ahead of them, but Notre Dame wise,

347
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 2: this is a team that they didn't kick USC's ass

348
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 2: in that Sam Hartman through for four hundred yards. He

349
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 2: essentially had two big plays, one of which was a

350
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 2: beautiful It was like a deep post to Chris Tyree

351
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 2: for a touchdown. Adric estimate. It was workman like, but

352
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 2: he wasn't busting seventy yard runs. Does this give you

353
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 2: hope that Notre Dame can be more complete than they've

354
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 2: shown this month or this past you know, three or

355
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 2: four weeks moving forward?

356
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 1: Does it give me hope? Yeah?

357
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 2: Against the better teams left on their schedule, I don't

358
00:17:58,680 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 2: have it in front of me. Who do they have?

359
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 2: I know they have Clemson left.

360
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Clemson's the game that I think is

361
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 1: obviously one that's going to pose an issue. Clemson's front

362
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: is not going to be USC's front, So that one,

363
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 1: to me, I think will ultimately be the Bell Weather

364
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: for whether or not this project is back on the

365
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: tracks or not. But Notre Dame also has a game

366
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: against Pitt which Pitt won this evening over Louisville in

367
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: a rather easy fashion. The rest of the way, it's

368
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: not exactly a murderers row, Wake Forest and Stanford to

369
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: close out the season.

370
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 2: Right, Wake Forests not looking amazing?

371
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: No, wake Forest lost to Virginia Tech this week. Yes,

372
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: so I mean the yes. Does it give me hope?

373
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: Of course, it gives me hope. This was a big win.

374
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: It's also not lost to me. This was USC's defense,

375
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: and USC's defense is nothing special.

376
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 2: I mean, was it three first half picks as well?

377
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 1: It wasn't just the defense, No, I mean it was

378
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 1: a complete effort for Dotordey, and I think that is

379
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: what especially as a good team, that is what fans

380
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: have been waiting for and been hoping for, you know,

381
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: long way to go. But I do feel very, very

382
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: much comforted by the fact that the defense, at least

383
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: the defensive front, was able to contain Caleb Williams in

384
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: the manner that they did. That was one thing I

385
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: did not expect. I thought he would do a lot better.

386
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 2: Back half of USC's schedule in the back half of

387
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 2: their season. Dude, they're a mess. It's to USC's kind

388
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 2: of like you pay Lincoln Riley nine or ten million dollars.

389
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 2: You're not able to build a defense. You're not really

390
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 2: able to build an offense week to week that has

391
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 2: an identity beyond Caleb Williams, just like buying time making

392
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 2: a plus plays. Can I read the schedule off it's

393
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 2: a low key mess. Continue, it's not a low key mess.

394
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 2: It's now, it's it's out in the open. Yeah, Utah at.

395
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: Home next week than at Cow, which is a crazy

396
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 1: sandwich spot before Washington at home. Then they go on

397
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 1: the road to Oregon, and then they come back home

398
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: against UCLA. All of those games are losable.

399
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 2: I don't think Col's losible. I on the road, I

400
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 2: don't think Ucla. No, Cal's not that good. Cal got

401
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 2: run over by a safety today.

402
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: All right, all right, fair, okay.

403
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 2: Other headliners that we need to warm our hands with

404
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 2: around this campfire, this crackling, crackling college football information campfire.

405
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: Tennessee twenty Texas A and M thirteen A decidedly Iowa

406
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: wisconsiny score in this football game which was decided a

407
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: lot by defense a special teams Dan sort of a

408
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: comedy of airs for a good chunk of it. And

409
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 1: what I think you took away from watching this game

410
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 1: is that both offensive lines had some trouble. Now, yeah,

411
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: very much so. The case on the A and M side,

412
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: that is nothing new, and it was much more of

413
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: a pass protection an issue on the Tennessee side, Guys

414
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 1: getting in Joe Milton's face. Joe Milton did not have

415
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: a good game for Tennessee by any stretch. As a passer,

416
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 1: Tennessee much more efficient on the ground. We knew that

417
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: going in. They were a much better ground team than

418
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: they were passing team coming into this week. But this

419
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: was one of those games that was interesting, if only

420
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: because it felt like something weird was going to happen

421
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: the full way through, like both offenses totally struggled. Max

422
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 1: Johnson a backup, a very clear backup, watching him in

423
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: this spot very timing oriented. I jotted down on my

424
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 1: notes that it was like watching Max Johnson was like

425
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: watching old footage of me trying to hit a ninety

426
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: five mile an hour fastball in the cage. It's clear

427
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: I don't have that bat speed for it. I just

428
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: have to time it right, and Max Johnson everything is

429
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: timing base. He does not have the arm. It just

430
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: has to be on time, and if it's not on time,

431
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: it's a problem. So that was a little bit difficult

432
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: to watch. On the flip side of things, Joe Milton

433
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 1: just it was clear down the stretch the coaching staff

434
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: did not have faith in him to throw. Even in

435
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 1: a high leverage spots where they could have used a

436
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: three yard pass, they were just handing it off like

437
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 1: they did not trust. Neither team really trusted its offense

438
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: in a key spot, and that's how you get a

439
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: thin win here. For for Tennessee and the man that

440
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: they did, I give them credit.

441
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 2: Did they just did they win with one offensive touchdown?

442
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: I believe so? Yeah, I believe so. Yeah.

443
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 2: It was a punt return touchdown. I believe yeah.

444
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: The other was a punt return. The other was a

445
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: punt return touchdown. Which is hence the special teams that

446
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: I mentioned a little bit ago, But this was this

447
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: was not the kind of game that you're going to

448
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: put in the Hall of Fame for offense. This was

449
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: defense and special teams and trying not to get in

450
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: your own.

451
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 2: Way winning as a clunk winning as a skill, win

452
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 2: your clunkers, et cetera, et cetera. Tennessee is a team.

453
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 2: If if Tennessee is winning without quarterback play, that's good. Okay,

454
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 2: I'm gonna look at the glass half full here because

455
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:08,199
Speaker 2: I was impressed enough with Tennessee's front on defense with

456
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 2: Jalen Wright, and it was that Dylan Sampson was making

457
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 2: plays on the ground for Tennessee. I pointed out last week,

458
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 2: and I got some pushback like, oh, you're pointing out

459
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 2: one play on the Texas A and M offensive line.

460
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 2: It was a YouTube comment or an email or something.

461
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure Max Johnson took a snap when his

462
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 2: own offensive lineman was pushed into him. I'm pretty sure

463
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 2: on was it a fourth and one, a third and

464
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 2: one where he just full on tripped over an offensive

465
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 2: lineman's on the snap Like Texas A and M forget

466
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 2: about executing plays. They're not even starting big plays, let

467
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 2: alone you know, throwing the back breaking interception in the

468
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 2: end zone. And Tennessee made fewer mistakes and won, And

469
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 2: that's a big deal for Tennessee. I don't think Tennessee's great.

470
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 2: I don't think they have a highest ceiling with what

471
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 2: their passing attack is probably going to look like for

472
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 2: the duration of the year. And look, if they're every

473
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 2: offen or excuse me, every defensive front that they're going

474
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 2: to face is not Texas A and M's. But win

475
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 2: this game at home, run the ball, play defense, and

476
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 2: if it's a pseudo down year relative to Tennessee fan expectations,

477
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 2: it's still gonna win a bunch of games. It's pretty good.

478
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 1: On the road at BAMMA next week. We'll talk about

479
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: that one when we do the week eight preview. I

480
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: think some nuance that we need to get into with

481
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 1: that game. One other point of note here, I saw

482
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: Walter Nolan went down. I did not have a chance

483
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: to see. I don't know if it's been announced exactly

484
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 1: what is wrong with his lower leg injury, but about

485
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: six minutes left in the fourth needed the cart looked

486
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 1: like he was in a lot of pain. Tough to

487
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 1: see that from somebody who's a talented Is Walter Nolan

488
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: obviously a high recruit for Texas A and M. So

489
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: we'll wait for the readout on him. I guess the

490
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: broader question is about Jimbo Fisher, and perhaps we can

491
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: get into that a little bit later when we do

492
00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: our roasts. But Jimbo Fisher has not won a true

493
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: road contest against a ranked opponent since twenty sixteen.

494
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's a different time. Yeah, And these

495
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 2: are winnable games. This is a Tennessee offense that certainly

496
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 2: didn't do enough to win this game, and not that

497
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 2: Texas A and M's did, but this is a winnable

498
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:20,959
Speaker 2: moment for Texas A and M. I know they were

499
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 2: up a chunk into this game and had opportunities to

500
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 2: capitalize deep in Tennessee territory. It's not a team that

501
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:33,719
Speaker 2: has honed their winning skill. It just isn't. And so

502
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 2: I don't see how this changes. And we can point

503
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 2: to Max Johnson being a backup quarterback and Connor Wegman

504
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 2: being you know, hurt and out for the year with

505
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 2: his injury, and Max Johnson not clearly not being the

506
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 2: guy last year, but like were they with Kellen Mond?

507
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 2: Doesn't seem that like, how long are we going to

508
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 2: make this excuse for Texas A and M That just like, Wow,

509
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 2: Jimbo's got this stacked up against him, and what we

510
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 2: can just say, Jimbo Fisher isn't a great college football

511
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 2: coach in twenty twenty, Well, he's not, isn't.

512
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 1: He's not. And that's unfortunately where we're at. And I'll

513
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: talk more about that later. We got a whole other

514
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 1: segment that we're going to get into with it. But

515
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 1: I'm I'm of the mind that the excuses are feudal

516
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,959
Speaker 1: at this point. I mean, it's always the same result,

517
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: and that is part of the joke with A and

518
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: M right now, But it's always the same stuff. And

519
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 1: that's that's bothersome if you are an A and M

520
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 1: fan that it has not hitting nicely. Yeah, it has

521
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: not progressed. The fact that Tennessee wins this game with

522
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 1: one hundred yards passing is just mind blowing. They ran

523
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 1: for two thirty two and they turned it over to

524
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 1: their running backs and the biggest moments of the game.

525
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: But Joe Milton eleven for twenty two with one hundred

526
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: yards and they won this game. That was a winnable game.

527
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, hornable game.

528
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: Absolutely was the final fire starter. Handwarmer, footwarmer. That I

529
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: want to discuss is this Miami North Carolina game. Yeah,

530
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: so this game was something else. Man final score after

531
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,719
Speaker 1: a bit of a push from Miami. Ended up being

532
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: forty one to thirty one in favor of the North

533
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: Carolina tar Heels, winning at home in resounding fashion. This

534
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: was a game that Miami led at halftime. Miami's first

535
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 1: four drives after leading at half fumble, interception, punt, turnover

536
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: on downs I guess, turnover on downs technically the first

537
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 1: play of the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, in that same span

538
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 1: in the third quarter, North Carolina scored touchdowns on three

539
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: of their four drives. They went up eighteen points, and

540
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: that truly was the manner in which they took control

541
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: of this football game. Tes Walker got in on the action.

542
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: Score three touchdowns, had a really big game for North Carolina.

543
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: Drake May being Drake May, had a good game as well.

544
00:27:55,520 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: The story here was essentially North Carolina forcing mistakes from Miami.

545
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 1: It was Miami finding ways to beat itself, and we

546
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 1: saw that a week ago with George Tech in much

547
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 1: more embarrassing fashion. This was a little bit more of

548
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 1: the traditional variety. But this is if you're Mario Christoball,

549
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 1: if you're a Miami fan, this is exactly what you're

550
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: looking to stop doing. Yeah, stop doing these things and

551
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: you'll win more games. But in the meantime, you go

552
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: up against a good team like North Carolina. I think

553
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: we can agree at this point that North Carolina is

554
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: pretty good. Not sure exactly where we stand on the defense.

555
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 2: Right seven weeks in and haven't lost. That's great.

556
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: Seven weeks in, haven't lost. They seem to be on

557
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: a glide path to some tougher games in November when

558
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: they're going to remain unbeaten and have some high leverage spots.

559
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: You go up against a team like North Carolina, you

560
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: commit dumb mistakes, are going to lose. And that's where

561
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 1: Miami's at right now.

562
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. And by the way, o Marion Hampton is emerging

563
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 2: as a full on star for North Carolina in the backfield.

564
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,719
Speaker 2: I know they were sharing carries early on in the season,

565
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 2: but the balanced attack that Chip Lindsay's tar Heels have

566
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 2: right now, and it's just going to open things up

567
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 2: more and more in that big November stretch, during that

568
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 2: big November stretch for North Carolina, if they're able to

569
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 2: run like this and get the stops at and I

570
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 2: saw I think TVD played literal catch with Cyrus s

571
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,959
Speaker 2: Gray on one of the interceptions. That's right, Tis Raight

572
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 2: didn't do a lot on that interception. He's like, well,

573
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 2: this is my zone. I'm just going to kind of

574
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 2: backpedal into it, and TVD just threw it to them.

575
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 2: So if they're able to do basic things on defense

576
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 2: and have a sort of balance potent offense as the

577
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 2: game wears on, because Miami did a nice job against

578
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 2: North Carolina early and tar Hills got stronger as the

579
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 2: game went on, it's a great spot right now for

580
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 2: the Heels.

581
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: Four turnovers for the Keynes. Now, North Carolina, for its part,

582
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: was not void of mistakes. Fourteen penalties for one hundred

583
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: and forty seven yards, which.

584
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 2: Is also true.

585
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: That's a lot. True, Yeah, that's a lot. It's not

586
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: like they're bull proof, but four times that scale. Winning

587
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: is a skill. Winning is a skill. So whether it

588
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: was Drake May, Marion Hampton, tes Walker, North Carolina got

589
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: it's on the offensive side of the ball. And despite

590
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: the fact that they gave up thirty one points a

591
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: lot of that in a feverish comeback effort from Miami,

592
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: despite the fact that they gave up a lot of yardage,

593
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: TVD had to throw it forty eight times try and

594
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: get back in this thing. Creating those turnovers was essential.

595
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: Creating those turnovers was key. They didn't convert all of

596
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: them to points, but just to stop the drive against

597
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: what I still think it can be a good offense

598
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: in Miami is pretty important.

599
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 2: Agree.

600
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: So there you go. Those I believe are our headliners

601
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: for the week that was in Week seven. As we

602
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: sit here around the campfire, though, you know how we do.

603
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: Of course, let's just say something nice about a bunch

604
00:30:56,040 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: of other teams and other games, shall we, Ah, give

605
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: me some good vibrations, good vibrations from elsewhere around college football.

606
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 2: Okay, we've talked about the SEC, We've talked about the

607
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 2: Pac twelve a little bit, but it was kind of

608
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 2: a crazy day in the Pac twelve. Utah keeps winning

609
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 2: without a quarterback. That's hard to do. They decided to

610
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 2: just run the hell out of the ball with what

611
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 2: I mean they're starting running back and their safety. I

612
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 2: think it's Cione Vaki. Yeah, he runs for one hundred

613
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 2: and fifty yards. They stomp col and keep mostly winning.

614
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 2: And so you know, we talked a little bit about,

615
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 2: you know, the severity of Cam Rising's knee injury coming

616
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 2: out more and more it's good man, It's good if

617
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 2: you can comfortably win without a quarterback. Good for you,

618
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 2: Oregon State. I'm not going to focus on the negative

619
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 2: UCLA right now, but Dju had himself a great game.

620
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 2: The organ State defense had a great game, and I

621
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 2: don't know where they're going to stand when it's all

622
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 2: said and done in the Pac twelve. But you talk

623
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 2: about a spoiler right now with having both Oregon and

624
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 2: Washington and like maybe the biggest threat for each on

625
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 2: the remainder of their schedules depending on how you feel

626
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 2: about USC, that Oregon State is going to be squarely

627
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 2: in the college football picture moving forward, even if it's

628
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 2: just as somebody who could spoil things. But even they're

629
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 2: just a good team against flawed ones more and more so,

630
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 2: good for them. How about Arizona in the Pac twelve?

631
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: By the way, what was that forty four to six

632
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: over Wazoo.

633
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 2: In a huge letdown spot going to Pullman after losing

634
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 2: in triple overtime to USC. Noah Fafida are the are

635
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 2: pal Jake who we work with, He was like, can

636
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 2: you please mention Arizona as the best three loss team

637
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,719
Speaker 2: in the country. I can't argue with it.

638
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: They're good. Noah Fafieda might be better than Jayden Dolora.

639
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: He's been great the last two weeks.

640
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 2: He has been very, very good. And they were balanced.

641
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 2: They ran the ball, they spread the ball around. Wazoo

642
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,479
Speaker 2: scored early, and then Arizona just I think they went

643
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 2: on a forty four to nothing run.

644
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: Hey trucked them. I looked at the score. It was

645
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: everybody has this moment. Usually it's when it's a low

646
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: score you look at a box score and the stats

647
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: are off. But sometimes it's when the score looks really

648
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: out of whack where you just kind of refresh it

649
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: and you think, oh, the Wi fi is stuck, or

650
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: I need to update the app, you know what I mean,

651
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: Like everybody's had that. I was doing that when I

652
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: saw that score, because I didn't believe it at first,

653
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: and then I checked. I checked ESPN and CBS and

654
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: fold like all these sources and they awed the same thing.

655
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, what a showing for Jed Fish.

656
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. In watching this game back and forth with other stuff,

657
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 2: it's just very clear that Arizona has its act together,

658
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 2: and so they are. They are more cohesive than I

659
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 2: thought they would be. But look, we're seven weeks into

660
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 2: the season, so they've taken a nice step forward elsewhere

661
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 2: in the SEC. By the way, can I say something

662
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 2: nice like Jaden Daniels might be like he should be

663
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 2: in New York this coming December. Like LSU played defense,

664
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 2: LSU spread the ball around. I get where Auburn is

665
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 2: at right now as a program. LSU hasn't been playing

666
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 2: defense against anybody. They got stops, they made plays, and

667
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 2: they took care of business like they should be doing

668
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 2: against overmatch teams. So great job from Jayden Daniels again,

669
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 2: Hull hum.

670
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, it helps that Auburn can't really throw di Well, sure,

671
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: I mean it helps. We have to be Yeah, we

672
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 1: have to be complete in our coverage here. But that

673
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: being said, Auburn likes to run and they couldn't really

674
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,879
Speaker 1: do that either. Yeah, and this is an LSU team

675
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 1: that has been more than generous. However, you want to

676
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: take the rs, they'll give them to you. So forty

677
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: eight to eighteen was your final. LSU knocks off Auburn,

678
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: And your point on Jade Daniels is right of the money.

679
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: He is, like you often say about Cale Williams, how

680
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,720
Speaker 1: they've constructed the entire plane out of him. That offense,

681
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: they've basically done that. On the LSU side, Logan Digs

682
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: has been fine on the ground, but this is a

683
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels operation and he has performed admirably.

684
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 2: He is he's the clear best quarterback in the SEC,

685
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 2: depending on how you feel about Graham Mertz and what

686
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 2: he was able to do shredding South Carolina. Friends, he's back.

687
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 2: By the way, the thing that I thought about with

688
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,879
Speaker 2: the LSU win and Auburn can't throw what it means

689
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 2: for the Alabama game and they're like, okay, so has

690
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,800
Speaker 2: LSU defense solved something because Alabama's offense has not solved

691
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 2: on something under the wunderkind Tommy Reese second half against Arkansas, which,

692
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,879
Speaker 2: by the way, good for Arkansas if we're talking about

693
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 2: good vibrations, kJ Jefferson making plays, the defense overwhelming the

694
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 2: Alabama offensive line in that second half. At times they

695
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 2: got a lot of fight in them. They're not a

696
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 2: great team, but just in terms of good vibrations, I'm

697
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 2: feeling like the Alabama LSU game is going to be bonkers. Yeah,

698
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 2: absolutely bonkers coming up here soon. Did you how much

699
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 2: of Florida South Carolina. Did you see if any.

700
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,760
Speaker 1: I saw a fair chunk of the second half?

701
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 2: Okay, love that game. I mean that game gave me

702
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 2: good vibrations. That what Florida down ten, I don't know what.

703
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 2: Don't interpret me saying it gave me good vibrations in

704
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 2: a strange way, unless it's your thing. Spencer Ratler made

705
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 2: some incredible throws. Graham Mertz made some incredible throws for

706
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 2: Florida to do that on the road after looking like

707
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 2: what they've looked like on the road this year. For

708
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 2: Graham Mertz to throw for I don't know what. His

709
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 2: final line was four hundred and some odd yards.

710
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: Four twenty three and three touchdowns. Graham Mertz is back, Dan,

711
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 1: He's back. Yeah, he is so back.

712
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 2: It's a great vibration, not even just a good vibration

713
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 2: for Florida. Get a win like that on the road,

714
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 2: seal it like they did. That was great. That was

715
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:44,240
Speaker 2: a great moment for college football.

716
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 1: Florida scored forty one points and one forty one to

717
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:51,280
Speaker 1: thirty nine over South Carolina despite going four to fifteen

718
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: on third downs, which is sort of a backward.

719
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I give you that.

720
00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: But hey, it was a shootout. The offense didn't back down.

721
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 2: No good use of Tom Petty right there, even if

722
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 2: it was unintentional elsewhere in the SEC. Good vibration wise.

723
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 2: I kind of liked the fight from Vandy. The game

724
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 2: was pretty close late. It was weirdly pretty close late.

725
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 2: They scored early on in that game. Eventually Georgia separates themselves.

726
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 2: I saw brock Bauers got hurt, but I think he's

727
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 2: hopefully going to be okay. It's not like an ankle break,

728
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 2: it might just be an ankle sprain. I appreciate that

729
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:32,359
Speaker 2: sort of competitiveness from from brock Bauers fighting. I don't

730
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,320
Speaker 2: know what else in the SEC well gave me those vibrations.

731
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: We got to give a shout out to the broadcast

732
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: team in the Missoo Kentucky game. So Zoo beats Kentucky.

733
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: But they they showed one of our tweets.

734
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:44,359
Speaker 2: Oh what was it that?

735
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: I think it was mine, I don't remember if it

736
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 1: was mine of yours. They showed the tweet about we

737
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 1: need to make the shirt about let Brady Cook.

738
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 2: Oh, that's definitely you. That's great at me let Brady

739
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 2: Brady Cook. He didn't. He kind of ordered takeout at times.

740
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 1: Yeah did really cook didn't really creeping this game, But

741
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 1: they won.

742
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 2: They look good, they won. The defense actually came alive

743
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 2: a little bit. Kentucky is still struggling on offense. But again,

744
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 2: this is if you're looking at either one of these

745
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 2: teams and what they had penciled in for the rest

746
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 2: of the year, they were both on it in terms

747
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 2: of wins. So good for Mazoo at this point that

748
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 2: they set themselves up as one of the more fascinating

749
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 2: teams back half of the schedule.

750
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 1: So my good vibrations. I want to start in the

751
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: Big twelve. Rocko Frickin' Beck baby, Yeah, man, rock O

752
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 1: Beck is a dude, plays for Iowa State. He had

753
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 1: a great game in the win over Cincinnati thirty to ten.

754
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 1: They mentioned October on the broadcast, which we're partial to

755
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: October here, of course, don't look now, but Iowa States

756
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: back to five hundred. It was a rough go Matt

757
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,760
Speaker 1: Campbell kind of mixing it up with fans and listen.

758
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,760
Speaker 2: That was a great moment though. It was good vibrations

759
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 2: from that. We make we make content, Okay, that was

760
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:01,439
Speaker 2: a free moment for Ushah. Back to five hundred. They're

761
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 2: getting better. It's clear they're getting better. After the bye week.

762
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 2: They're on by now they've got Baylor, Kansas BYU Texas

763
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 2: and Kansas State. I'm not going to say that is

764
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 2: an easy stretch, but Iowa State at least looking a

765
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 2: lot more formidable here, feels like they've got their guy

766
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 2: at quarterback, feels like they're starting to build some support

767
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 2: around him.

768
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 1: We know they've already got the defense. I'm not going

769
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: to say that they're going to finish nine and three.

770
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: That's not where I'm going with this, But could Iowa

771
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: State win seven games? I think it's very much on

772
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,280
Speaker 1: the tabline, very much on the table. So good vibes

773
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: all around on the Iowa State side. Also in the

774
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,320
Speaker 1: Big Twelve, shout out Avery Johnson.

775
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 2: Oh a, Varry Johnson, Yeah, yeah, I think he's the

776
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:50,919
Speaker 2: guy man. Look, we love Will Howard. Will Howard won

777
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 2: this team the Big Twelve last year in relief of

778
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 2: Adrian Martinez. I tried to tell you early on in

779
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 2: the year he did No you did, you did? There's

780
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 2: a twinkle college football twinkle in Manhattan.

781
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,479
Speaker 1: The clouds part a little bit. When he gets bast Sands.

782
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: He had five rushing touchdowns in this game in case

783
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:11,399
Speaker 1: States win over Texas Tech KSE State hammered Texas Tech

784
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: on the road, and Avery Johnson was a big part

785
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: of that five rushing touchdowns for the freshmen.

786
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 2: So that in a bounce back effort by the way

787
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 2: big toocter losing like they did to Oklahoma State.

788
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 1: Uh, acc wise, Keon Coleman, I mean, it wasn't exactly

789
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 1: like Florida State went up against a juggernaut in the

790
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: form of Qus. Syracuse got drilled a week ago by

791
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 1: North Carolina. We saw the writing on the wall here

792
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 1: with Florida State. The question for Florida State has been

793
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: how they're going to handle these tweener games that don't

794
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 1: matter as much as some of the big headliners. They've

795
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 1: done well in the headliners, but what about qs? What

796
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 1: about these forty one to three? This was never a contest,

797
00:40:56,440 --> 00:41:00,720
Speaker 1: but Keon Coleman six for one fourteen and a touchdown

798
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: in the first half, finished with nine for one forty

799
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: and a touchdown in the game. Keon Coleman proving to

800
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: be I don't know if the most impactful transfer is

801
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: the right way to characterize it, but certainly one of

802
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:17,800
Speaker 1: the most impactful transfers throughout college football so far this season.

803
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 1: So shout out to him in the ACC. Also shout

804
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: out to the pit fricking Panthers Dan.

805
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, they needed this, They needed that pick six

806
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 2: they needed the night against Louisville.

807
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, what a neck crack for these guys. A dreadful,

808
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: dreadful one in four start for the Pitt Panthers, after

809
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: which they demoted their quarterback to tight end. Then I

810
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 1: think demoted him from tight end to something else that

811
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: we have. We don't know what that is. They just

812
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 1: said he's actually not playing tight end. Now, naturally, they

813
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 1: just knock the snot out of the number fourteen team

814
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: in the country, the Louisville Cardinals. A week after Louisville,

815
00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 1: Louisville knocks off notre name fighting Irish Pits scored what

816
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 1: thirty eight points in a game like this, and it's

817
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: not not all on offense. It's still Pitt we're talking

818
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: about here, right. It wasn't exactly the type of the

819
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,439
Speaker 1: type of statistical performance where you look at and say, wow,

820
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: Pitt with pinball numbers, Nothing like that, I promise you.

821
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 2: I thought I was just having a stroke I thought

822
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,280
Speaker 2: you called Louisville the number four team team in the country,

823
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:26,720
Speaker 2: the number fourteen fourteen that's right? Yeah, sorry, not fourteen. Yeah,

824
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:28,439
Speaker 2: that was probably on me and I was like, wait,

825
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 2: what what did I miss? As I flew out West Okay? Yeah?

826
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 2: And Christian Veyo is that he pronounce you?

827
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 1: Yeah?

828
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:36,359
Speaker 2: Ue Value? Yeah?

829
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: Who?

830
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 2: I think we last saw struggling against Iowa when he

831
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:43,760
Speaker 2: had to replace who was that Sean Sean Clifford against

832
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 2: against the Hawkeye. So a nice bounce back story for

833
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 2: him in relief and Pitt getting it done somehow, some way,

834
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:51,800
Speaker 2: it gets it done.

835
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 1: Uh big ten, throw your jokes into the fire, Dan,

836
00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 1: toss them in, let them smolder. That's right, Thank you,

837
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: great sound effect. Iowa is doing something remarkable.

838
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 2: What have we called it?

839
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 1: Ty? What have we called it?

840
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 2: The reverse frosting?

841
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:13,760
Speaker 1: A little bit of reverse foster.

842
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 2: They're gonna be the worst ten and two team of

843
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:15,839
Speaker 2: all time.

844
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, Iowa is doing something remarkable. They're answering a question

845
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,799
Speaker 1: that I have had that I'm sure the listeners have had.

846
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: They never knew it. What would Navy be like if

847
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 1: it played defense? I guess Iowa is Navy with a

848
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 1: defense that's essentially what they are. They don't care about

849
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 1: throwing it. They don't care.

850
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:42,759
Speaker 2: No, you're right, they don't care.

851
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:46,240
Speaker 1: They had two hundred and thirty seven yards of offense

852
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: in this game. Actually they're not even Navy on offense,

853
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: but they're just not going to throw the ball. They

854
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: don't care. They had two hundred and thirty seven total yards,

855
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: eighty two of which came on an early touchdown run.

856
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,919
Speaker 1: The rest of the way. You can do the math.

857
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,240
Speaker 1: I did the math on that at like one hundred

858
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 1: and fifty yards the rest of the way. They beat

859
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 1: Wisconsin fifteen to six. They've got one loss. They're very

860
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 1: much in the driver's seat in the Big Ten West.

861
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 1: They're gonna go to the Big Ten title game. Nobody

862
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:16,760
Speaker 1: in the Big Ten West is going to beat Iowa.

863
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 1: Nobody is going to beat them.

864
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 2: Dan, I wonder if we can figure out what Iowa's

865
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 2: record is like. Once they get that seventy seven yard

866
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 2: touchdown run like they always seems to happen, they're just like,

867
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was Caleb what was this

868
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 2: Caleb Johnson in last year or two, and then it

869
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 2: was Lashawn Williams. Is that who had the one today

870
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 2: that once they get that long touchdown run that like

871
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 2: is everybody on the headset is like, all right, back

872
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 2: it in, guys. That's that's a day. That's all we needed.

873
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 2: And it's kind of true. They just played baseball blowouts Iowa.

874
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 2: So like Iowa beat it says here Wisconsin. I thought

875
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 2: Tanner Mordecai got hurt, right, it says here Wisconsin. This

876
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 2: might as well be like Iowa football beat the Seattle

877
00:44:59,880 --> 00:45:02,359
Speaker 2: man Berners fifteen to six. That's how they play now.

878
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,359
Speaker 2: And that's why we're getting a reverse Scott Frost, who

879
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:07,360
Speaker 2: coached the best three and nine team ever, We're going

880
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,399
Speaker 2: to see the best eleven and one or whatever team ever.

881
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 1: And final point on the Big ten Rutgers Rutgers Baby

882
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 1: Rutgers scored twenty one unanswered points to beat Michigan State

883
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. Rutgers now starts five and zero

884
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:28,240
Speaker 1: at home for the first time since two thousand and six.

885
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:35,240
Speaker 1: Been a minute, But Rutgers is one win from going bowling.

886
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, they very much go.

887
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:38,800
Speaker 1: Be Week eight one win away.

888
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 2: So do they have Week eight? Good on them? I

889
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 2: don't got it in front of me. Oh okay, anything

890
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:46,839
Speaker 2: else in the big time. I saw Maryland went down

891
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 2: to Illinois in a bit of a Mike Loxley battle.

892
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 2: I think it's offenseive coordinator way back when anything else

893
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 2: that gave you some good vibrations. That was a field

894
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 2: goal at the gun.

895
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 1: If I remember field goal with the gun, yeah, I

896
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:00,919
Speaker 1: mean Michigan Ohio State one in resounding fashion Penn State

897
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,720
Speaker 1: one sixty three to nil. The only other real point

898
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:06,320
Speaker 1: of note was the Illinois Maryland game.

899
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 2: When we get to high night, bad year, good good day,

900
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 2: when we get to scary stories, perhaps we could talk

901
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:13,839
Speaker 2: about the Colorado defense, which I know you did not mention.

902
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 2: I know I didn't mention that. Well, I don't know

903
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 2: how we even. I was saving it for scary stories,

904
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 2: and saving it is alec A o'mannor who had two

905
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 2: hundred ninety Oh my god.

906
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's do it all right, those are good vibrations.

907
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,359
Speaker 1: We're sitting here around the campfire. I'm gonna get my

908
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 1: flashlight out and shine it on my face. Let's do

909
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 1: some scary stories from this week. We've named this the

910
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:49,840
Speaker 1: Rocky Lombardi Picture Show. I like that Rocy Lombardi is

911
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: still playing, by the way, which is wild.

912
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was class of two thousand and eight. He's

913
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 2: a CPA. Now he's been in school long enough. Now,

914
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 2: Rocy Lombarti's n IU after transferring in from Michigan State.

915
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,720
Speaker 2: All right, what is our Scary Story SCAE segment.

916
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 1: We're just going to talk about bizarre things that happened

917
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:10,320
Speaker 1: in the world of college football.

918
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 2: We're going to talk.

919
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 1: About things that scared us, things that were perhaps influenced

920
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 1: by the occult forces of my reverse jinks and whatnot.

921
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit about BYU. Yes, who just

922
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:29,479
Speaker 1: got fed BYU on offense. Dreadful BYU as a team

923
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 1: out gained by three hundred and forty one yards. They

924
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 1: went two of fourteen on third downs. They got absolutely

925
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 1: destroyed by TCU on the road. They lost forty four

926
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 1: to eleven. Nice win for TCU, by the way, but

927
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 1: BYU was a five and a half point road dog.

928
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:49,760
Speaker 1: A lot of people you and I agreed on that game.

929
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 1: We like BYU, and we said, yeah, we don't think

930
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 1: TCU is all that good. They drilled BYU in this game.

931
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 2: So Josh Hoover gets the start and it was it

932
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:01,800
Speaker 2: was just ugly from BYU.

933
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 1: That's continue. That's right, all right. Elsewhere, I do want

934
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 1: to get to this Stanford Colorado game. Perhaps you can

935
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 1: talk about Colorado's defense and what went down in this

936
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: game despite having a twenty nine to nil lead. I

937
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 1: want to talk about the refs speaking of bizarre moments.

938
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 1: I've never seen this before in college football. It got

939
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 1: a chuckle from everybody online. The refs were not having

940
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: it with the guy whoever the intern was up in

941
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:32,840
Speaker 1: the booth and Boulder whoever was in charge of the

942
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 1: sound effects button was playing the sound effects as Stanford

943
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:39,880
Speaker 1: was information and about ready to run a play, and

944
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 1: it led to a very bizarre moment with the ref

945
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 1: coming on the PA system and saying, please stop doing that,

946
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,839
Speaker 1: otherwise we're going to assess a penalty to Colorado. I've

947
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 1: never seen that before.

948
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 2: My horror form from the stadium operations crew at Colorado

949
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 2: poorer form from Colorado Tye Holy hell. So it was

950
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 2: I think Ashton Daniels didn't start this game for Stanford.

951
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 2: Travis Hunter comes back, Travis Hunter gets scorched. Travis Hunter

952
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 2: seems to play a thousand plays in this game. It

953
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 2: was elk a omanor if I pronounced that godictly Stanford

954
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 2: comes back. Dion elected. So Stanford comes back down twenty

955
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:27,400
Speaker 2: nine at the half. They come back to tie it

956
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 2: with a field goal in the waning seconds. It goes

957
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:34,840
Speaker 2: to overtime. Deon chooses to go on offense, I believe,

958
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 2: which is pretty rare. If you win the coin toss

959
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 2: and Stanford ends up winning this one, it goes what

960
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:46,319
Speaker 2: two overtimes and Stanford wins it on the strength of,

961
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:49,880
Speaker 2: by the way, an incredible catch on the helmet of

962
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:51,799
Speaker 2: Travis Hunter from so.

963
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 1: It was one of those deals where he's backpedaling. Travis Hunter,

964
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 1: who played in this game, was back and had a

965
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 1: hell of a game on offense. Credit like a sick

966
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 1: spin move, touchdown and run. It was really really he

967
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 1: had a good game. But this was one of those

968
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 1: deals where the receiver was back pedaling. Ball came in,

969
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:16,400
Speaker 1: Travis Hunter did not see it. Receiver reaches around, Travis

970
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:18,720
Speaker 1: Hunter pins the ball to the back of his helmet,

971
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 1: back pedals a little bit until he can get a

972
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:24,799
Speaker 1: grip on the ball, then kind of maneuvers it away

973
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 1: from the helmet, goes on to score a touchdown. Crazy

974
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:28,400
Speaker 1: crazy play.

975
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 2: I'm pretty in terms of scariness I don't know. It

976
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 2: depends how it sort of resonates with your brain, and

977
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:42,839
Speaker 2: your mileage may vary, but Houston Cougar's pretty scary way

978
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:45,800
Speaker 2: to lose if you're a West Virginia Fanily, that was boy.

979
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 2: A couple nights ago, seemed like things were gonna be

980
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:53,520
Speaker 2: pretty nice for West Virginia. That's the first Is that

981
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 2: the first win from a new Big twelve team against

982
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 2: a longtime Big twelve team. I believe this Houston win.

983
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 1: I mean, what a way to win too.

984
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:07,799
Speaker 2: A Hail Mary, Wow come back.

985
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 1: It was a crazy one to two sequence. It was

986
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 1: a crazy past that got West Virginia up thirty nine

987
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:19,959
Speaker 1: thirty five to begin, and then Houston getting a chance

988
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:24,319
Speaker 1: at a Hail Mary and completing it.

989
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 2: I mean, talk about a cult forces. Jeez, it was

990
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 2: that was wild. I'm trying to think what else? What

991
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 2: else was scary to you? I mean, I can well

992
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 2: back to Oregon on fourth down. That was pretty terrifying

993
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 2: to me. On my couch.

994
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 1: Well, I talk a lot about zombie Alabama. Generally, I

995
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 1: would say that zombie Alabama's pretty scary, and I declared

996
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 1: zombie Alabama back about midway through the first half, and

997
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:56,839
Speaker 1: it's a parent that Arkansas fought and Arkansas was able

998
00:51:56,880 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 1: to kind of hold Alabama down. Alabama offense is in

999
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:03,279
Speaker 1: a really weird spot right now. I think, Jaywait, we

1000
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 1: know at this point Jalen Milroe is the guy that

1001
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 1: they're going to roll with, but wasn't exactly a great

1002
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:12,839
Speaker 1: game from him on the passing side. I still would

1003
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 1: love to see them turn him loose and let him

1004
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:18,399
Speaker 1: run a little bit more than he has right now.

1005
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:21,759
Speaker 1: It's just a lot of scrambling. It's not that much designed.

1006
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:23,879
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're afraid of gettinghim hurt because

1007
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:25,320
Speaker 1: they don't want to have to go to Tyler Buckner

1008
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 1: or Tye Simpson. I don't know what the thought is there,

1009
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:31,840
Speaker 1: because all we heard about with respect to Jalen Milroe

1010
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 1: was his elite NFL caliber speed and we just have

1011
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 1: not seen enough of it for my taste. That being said,

1012
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 1: wins win, but Arkansas kept this one relatively close. I

1013
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:47,040
Speaker 1: am extremely interested the rest of the way as Alabama

1014
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:49,760
Speaker 1: plays some of these teams on its schedule to see

1015
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 1: what that looks like, to see what it looks like

1016
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:55,400
Speaker 1: this coming week against Tennessee. I like their chances against Tennessee.

1017
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:58,399
Speaker 1: I did pick Tennessee in the preseason. I probably won't

1018
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:00,840
Speaker 1: pick them now that I know what I know. But

1019
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:04,880
Speaker 1: interesting game, the LSU game that you mentioned earlier. I

1020
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 1: don't know if we're fully at zombie Alabama again, I

1021
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 1: don't know where if we're at the point where Alabama

1022
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:11,759
Speaker 1: is undead and is going to rip through the rest

1023
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 1: of it's the rest of its schedule.

1024
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:19,840
Speaker 2: Well, like most zombies, Alabama needs brains. Because they couldn't

1025
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,479
Speaker 2: score in the second half. There was it was Jalen

1026
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 2: Milroe popping a couple of big plays. Then Kobe Prentice

1027
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 2: caught one of the longer passes and that was kind

1028
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 2: of it. They didn't score a touchdown in the second half, right,

1029
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:32,719
Speaker 2: they just hung on against Arkansas, if I'm if I'm

1030
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 2: remembering correctly, it was a hang on job. Yeah, Guys

1031
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 2: like Dallas Turner on defense dragged him across the finish line.

1032
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I'm I thought we had zombie

1033
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:47,319
Speaker 1: Alabama back. So it's it's it's fright I don't.

1034
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:48,839
Speaker 2: I just I don't think Alabama's that good.

1035
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 1: It's frightening me in on two sides of the coin.

1036
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,880
Speaker 1: If zombie Alabama's back in some sense, then that's obviously

1037
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:58,720
Speaker 1: frightening for all opponents. If they're not back, then that's frightening,

1038
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:01,960
Speaker 1: I think for all Obama fans, because you do have

1039
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 1: this lumpy quality to the way they play. Other scary

1040
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:09,440
Speaker 1: moments this week brock Bowers went down. If you saw this,

1041
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 1: brock Bowers right, we talked, Yeah, a bit of a

1042
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:14,799
Speaker 1: scare in the second quartery limped off, ends up being

1043
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:16,400
Speaker 1: a sprained ankle. He's gonna be okay, but he had

1044
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 1: precautionary X rays. Kirby Smart said he's fine. There's also

1045
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:23,280
Speaker 1: a moment in the Memphis game where dude sucker punched

1046
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:26,319
Speaker 1: another dude in the spot where you're not supposed to

1047
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:32,719
Speaker 1: sucker punch guys. That was not very funny thing like

1048
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:34,480
Speaker 1: that scary. That was the kind of thing that you

1049
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 1: see the video and it's like, oh, I felt that.

1050
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:38,840
Speaker 1: I felt that a little bit and it hurt. So

1051
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 1: any other scary moments for you, Dan looking for stollege football.

1052
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 2: It's been a scary couple weeks if you enjoy Syracuse

1053
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:50,720
Speaker 2: football with what they suffered at the hands of Florida

1054
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 2: State with that's very l english And then Clemson and

1055
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:58,799
Speaker 2: they just have been shelled recently Syracuse. Well that was

1056
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 2: two weeks ago Clemson, right, they have Florida State this week.

1057
00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:05,319
Speaker 2: It was toa feely and Trey Benson running all over them.

1058
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:08,800
Speaker 2: Jordan Travis made some big plays. It's it's pretty scary

1059
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 2: right now, considering that this team started out winning a

1060
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:14,400
Speaker 2: bunch of games and now fading pretty quickly.

1061
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 1: Let's get to the roast we used to roast to

1062
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:24,240
Speaker 1: stay off marshmallows by the fire at Capital Conda. Let's

1063
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:28,799
Speaker 1: close things out, Dan with some hot fire, some takes

1064
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 1: from you and I. We've got takes from the Reverblind

1065
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:35,800
Speaker 1: as well. Not a full compliment from the reverb Blind,

1066
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:40,359
Speaker 1: just a sampling. Will play an extended cut out on

1067
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:43,759
Speaker 1: our Patreon at forbawlers dot com. We will get back

1068
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 1: to playing more of the full compliment next week. Just

1069
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:50,400
Speaker 1: again a sampling here as we test out our roast segment.

1070
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:55,000
Speaker 1: But my I guess biggest hottest take is not anything

1071
00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:58,239
Speaker 1: that is going to be groundbreaking or break the internet

1072
00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:01,759
Speaker 1: or something that everybody listening to this stream or to

1073
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 1: this to this on demand audio has not already thought

1074
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:09,400
Speaker 1: it's time to cut bait with Jimbo Fisher. It is time.

1075
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 1: It is time to get the oil money together. It

1076
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 1: is time to find some underhanded way to pay the

1077
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 1: man off so that he goes away and rides off

1078
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:21,800
Speaker 1: peacefully into the sunset. He's had a long, storied career.

1079
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:25,319
Speaker 1: Guy won a national championship. I'm sure it could coach

1080
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 1: somewhere else. I'm sure it could get some broadcasting work.

1081
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:28,279
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1082
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:31,279
Speaker 2: You got somebody in mind to replace him, No, guys

1083
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 2: got options.

1084
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 1: Mike Elko would be great. But my only point is

1085
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 1: this A and M is now staring down the barrel

1086
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:43,280
Speaker 1: of eight and four again, maybe seven and five, maybe worse.

1087
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 1: And we all know where this thing is going to go.

1088
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:50,880
Speaker 1: We all know that the natural conclusion is Jimbo Fisher

1089
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 1: is not gonna be there next year. Seems like the

1090
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 1: logical thing for me. So if it's going to be

1091
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 1: done eventually, just do it immediately. Just get your name

1092
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:02,319
Speaker 1: in the hat. Let everybody signal to anybody out there

1093
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:04,959
Speaker 1: who was interested in a new gig that the job

1094
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:07,359
Speaker 1: in college station is going to be open, and let's

1095
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 1: just move on. Let's not kid ourselves this point. AM's

1096
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 1: got three losses. They were clearly aspiring for a lot more.

1097
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 1: And to your point from earlier, of course there are

1098
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 1: built in excuses, got the backup quarterback, injuries, whatever else.

1099
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 1: But it is clear at this point that whatever the

1100
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 1: project looked like from the perspective of Jimbo Fisher to

1101
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 1: rectify the A and M situation, it's not it's not

1102
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:33,840
Speaker 1: going to happen. He's had enough time to sign a

1103
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:34,240
Speaker 1: cup bait.

1104
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:38,080
Speaker 2: Do you think Kaitlin de Boor's wife is going to

1105
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:39,920
Speaker 2: begin looking for real estate and conversation?

1106
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 1: No, I don't. I've heard the rumor. No, no, no.

1107
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 2: Here in lots of rumors.

1108
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 1: Okay, would A and M higher urban?

1109
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:48,960
Speaker 2: No, nobody's hiring room.

1110
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:49,919
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone's hiring.

1111
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:55,040
Speaker 2: No, nobody'shiring romire. Yeah, that's that's not a bad take.

1112
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 2: You ready for my ROAs?

1113
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 1: Who you roasting? What are you roasting? I think we.

1114
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:01,160
Speaker 2: Fully need to. I mean we kind of did already today.

1115
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:04,480
Speaker 2: But I think as a college football community fully ignore Michigan, Like,

1116
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 2: let's not watch Michigan highlights, let's not talk about what

1117
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 2: Michigan should be ranked. Let's not, you know, think about

1118
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 2: a four team. Like if I were to ask you

1119
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:14,360
Speaker 2: right now, who which four teams do you have in

1120
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 2: your playoff? And you just fully omit Michigan. I think

1121
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:22,920
Speaker 2: that's worthwhile. Why, Like, they have not done a single

1122
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:26,200
Speaker 2: thing this year that is worth attention. They've taken care

1123
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:30,440
Speaker 2: of business in impressive ways. But they beat Indiana fifty

1124
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:33,200
Speaker 2: two to seven. They have nobody until they have a

1125
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 2: two game season right now, and the way that they scheduled,

1126
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 2: the way that the Big Ten is, and it's not

1127
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:41,480
Speaker 2: fully their fault that the Big Ten is what it is,

1128
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 2: that the Michigan State game will go the way that

1129
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 2: it will go with how Michigan State is playing this year,

1130
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:51,200
Speaker 2: But right now, Michigan to me, like, there's nothing worthwhile

1131
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:54,240
Speaker 2: to say about Michigan, is there? Like, how do you

1132
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:56,479
Speaker 2: form any sort of opinion about Michigan with the teams

1133
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:59,200
Speaker 2: they've played this year? They've taken care of business.

1134
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:01,640
Speaker 1: That's not my answer this though, you know my stance

1135
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:04,240
Speaker 1: on this. My stance has always been that a team

1136
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 1: is not defined by its schedule.

1137
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 2: I know they've done what an excellent team should do

1138
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:12,120
Speaker 2: against their schedule, But like if I hear Dan Orlovsky say,

1139
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:14,640
Speaker 2: Michigan might be the most complete team in the country.

1140
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:19,960
Speaker 2: What what there's no there's no data right now on

1141
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:23,720
Speaker 2: Michigan and we're in October, like mid October on Michigan.

1142
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:26,600
Speaker 2: Like what opinion about Michigan can you have that's worthwhile

1143
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 2: right now? Like that they've taken care of business. They've

1144
00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:33,200
Speaker 2: taken care of business, and like we think they're really good.

1145
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 2: They've made the Playoff a couple of years in a row,

1146
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 2: But like, do we know nothing about this year's team?

1147
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 1: Really, I'm standing by my pick of Michigan as a

1148
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 1: national champion.

1149
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 2: That's fine and that will come to pass. I just

1150
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:48,920
Speaker 2: like in the college football conversation right now, like we

1151
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:51,400
Speaker 2: can talk about North Carolina improving. We can talk about,

1152
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:53,440
Speaker 2: you know, how's Texas going to bounce back from Oklahoma?

1153
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 2: Or is Oklahoma against the back half of their schedule

1154
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 2: going to continue its winning ways. We can talk about

1155
00:59:57,920 --> 01:00:00,680
Speaker 2: Oregon and Washington. We can talk about you know, Florida State.

1156
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:03,480
Speaker 2: We can talk about Alabama's flaws or LSU's flaws, or

1157
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:06,840
Speaker 2: Georgia's flaws or Tennessee's flaws. What is there to talk

1158
01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:09,960
Speaker 2: about with Michigan. I'm not saying excellence is boring. I'm

1159
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:12,680
Speaker 2: saying because of their schedule. There's nothing that we can

1160
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 2: accurately say about Michigan.

1161
01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 1: Their current strength of schedule ranking, I should say current

1162
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 1: as of a week ago was one hundred and fourteenth.

1163
01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 2: And it's like Michigan shouldn't be part of the college

1164
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 2: football conversation right now.

1165
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:27,440
Speaker 1: It's not necessarily through the fault of the players plays.

1166
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:30,080
Speaker 2: No, it's not the fault of players. It's not the fault.

1167
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 2: It's not even the fault of the program. It's just

1168
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:34,520
Speaker 2: there's it's not there a program not worth talking about

1169
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 2: right now until we get to the final two, you know,

1170
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 2: not final two, but the two of the final three

1171
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 2: weeks of the season for the Wolverines.

1172
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:45,360
Speaker 1: At Penn State week eleven, obviously the big rivalry against

1173
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 1: Ohio State at home. In week thirteen, Sandwich games on

1174
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 1: the road at Maryland. We probably see Maryland in a

1175
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 1: bit of a different light. After all, it is now

1176
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:56,800
Speaker 1: October and not September.

1177
01:00:57,160 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 2: It's Michigan State and Purdue leading up to Penn State.

1178
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:03,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, any other takes from you, Dan before we

1179
01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 1: kick it to the forbawler hood.

1180
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:07,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's one other one. And I was workshopping this

1181
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 2: for a while. I have no idea if the ACC

1182
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:13,800
Speaker 2: is incredible or the worst thing ever right now, Like

1183
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:18,080
Speaker 2: Clemson isn't especially watchable, Florida State seems like they're getting

1184
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:22,680
Speaker 2: their act together. North Carolina seems improved, but like Pitt

1185
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:26,360
Speaker 2: has been terrible. Tv NC State has wasted everybody's time

1186
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:27,880
Speaker 2: this year, right, I've.

1187
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:29,800
Speaker 1: Been saying it, you know, I made that comment a

1188
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:32,120
Speaker 1: couple weeks ago, and I had a couple people tweet me,

1189
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:34,920
Speaker 1: nice people, not trying to be snarky, like, are you

1190
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:37,240
Speaker 1: sure about that? You really feel that way about.

1191
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 2: NCCC to make an offensive coordinator change, and they get

1192
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:43,480
Speaker 2: Brennan Armstrong. They bench Brennan Armstrong.

1193
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:43,760
Speaker 3: MJ.

1194
01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:48,960
Speaker 2: Morris wasn't especially good against Pitt. They're wasting all of

1195
01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:52,000
Speaker 2: our time, all of our hopes and dreams. Wake Forest

1196
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:54,600
Speaker 2: has taken a step back, obviously losing the Virginia tach.

1197
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:57,960
Speaker 2: Virginia Tech has been terrible. Virginia has been at times

1198
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:02,040
Speaker 2: feisty and entertaining, but also at times terrible. Miami is

1199
01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:04,880
Speaker 2: its own whole deal. After what they did last week,

1200
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:08,680
Speaker 2: they've been disappointing. There's just something about the ACC right

1201
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:11,440
Speaker 2: now where you're just like, should you invest any emotion

1202
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:14,040
Speaker 2: if you're a fan of an ACC team that isn't

1203
01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:16,800
Speaker 2: Florida State or North Carolina in this moment, should you

1204
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 2: invest any sort of emotion in this conference? Flip side?

1205
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 2: Are they the most incredible conference in college football because

1206
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 2: of that week to week nonsense? Yeah, I'm not sure

1207
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:29,680
Speaker 2: I know where I stand. But there's something that's just

1208
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:33,640
Speaker 2: chaotic and explosive about the ACC that drives me a

1209
01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:34,400
Speaker 2: little bit nuts.

1210
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 1: I love the North Carolina story. Okay, I love the

1211
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:40,160
Speaker 1: North Carolina story. North Carolina is going to be a

1212
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:45,080
Speaker 1: whisper quiet undefeated team. Whisper quiet undefeated team going into

1213
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:48,680
Speaker 1: the latter half of its schedule, and they do not

1214
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:51,440
Speaker 1: play Florida State, they do not play Louisville. There will

1215
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:54,360
Speaker 1: be opportunities to lose. I'm still not one hundred percent

1216
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:59,080
Speaker 1: sold in that defense. But to your point, yeah, it's

1217
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:00,160
Speaker 1: nothing if not interesting.

1218
01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:03,320
Speaker 2: If your starting point is Drake May, it's good.

1219
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:04,360
Speaker 1: You do a lot worse than that.

1220
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:05,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right.

1221
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:08,640
Speaker 1: We got a sampling of roasts that came in on

1222
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:11,320
Speaker 1: the Reverb Wine again Forballers dot Com. You can get

1223
01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:13,840
Speaker 1: the full extended version. We're gonna post that over the

1224
01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 1: next couple days or so. Next week around the campfire,

1225
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:20,000
Speaker 1: we'll have a little bit more in the in the

1226
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:23,720
Speaker 1: roasting basket. But roasting basket, here's what we got here

1227
01:03:23,720 --> 01:03:24,360
Speaker 1: at rever Bland.

1228
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:28,720
Speaker 3: Have listened Daniels calling in from going me to South Carolina,

1229
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:30,920
Speaker 3: and Dan, I don't want to hear any of your

1230
01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:34,560
Speaker 3: false positivity of man Oregon really tried it.

1231
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:38,160
Speaker 4: Oh blah uh uh. You've been beaten down on time

1232
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:41,320
Speaker 4: in these notreed ame losses and I need some raw,

1233
01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:45,560
Speaker 4: terribly sad emotions to match where I'm at right now

1234
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:48,680
Speaker 4: because my fiance's out here. Try to be deportive, but

1235
01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:50,600
Speaker 4: nobody understands how feel it.

1236
01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:55,479
Speaker 5: This is Eric in Tempe, Arizona, local Huskey fan out here,

1237
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 5: and listen.

1238
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 1: Oregon is an excellent team.

1239
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:01,280
Speaker 5: They run the ball well, but when it matters mo

1240
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:05,440
Speaker 5: they choke, can't convern off fourth down, can't kick the

1241
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 5: field goal. The Huskies are the best team in the

1242
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:10,240
Speaker 5: best conference.

1243
01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:13,920
Speaker 3: I'm thirty seven years old, so I feel like I

1244
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:15,080
Speaker 3: have enough with them to say this.

1245
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:19,080
Speaker 1: I'm actually driving to Kroger to get our dried his

1246
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:23,080
Speaker 1: cream for my knuckles has nothing to do with the

1247
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:27,040
Speaker 1: fact that I was punching walls after watching Dan Lanning

1248
01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:30,800
Speaker 1: not punch the ball. Make it all better, guys, make

1249
01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:33,200
Speaker 1: it all better, Tyler in Wisconsin here.

1250
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:37,040
Speaker 4: Based on what I read, we're supposed.

1251
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:41,360
Speaker 1: To be roasting something. I can just roast myself forever.

1252
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:45,040
Speaker 5: Believing that this Badger team was anything more than an

1253
01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:46,440
Speaker 5: eight win team.

1254
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:53,760
Speaker 1: Awful performance tonight, just a sampling Dan. I also roast

1255
01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:55,680
Speaker 1: my picks. Oh my god, it.

1256
01:04:55,680 --> 01:04:56,320
Speaker 2: Was pretty bad.

1257
01:04:56,840 --> 01:05:01,400
Speaker 1: It's been so bad. It's, you know, the most it's

1258
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:04,560
Speaker 1: been so bad. It's been so bad. I don't know

1259
01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:07,280
Speaker 1: how to get back on track with these picks. I

1260
01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:11,040
Speaker 1: don't What did you do this week? What was your record?

1261
01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:14,360

1262
01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:18,960
Speaker 1: if not for A and M. I hit the money

1263
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:21,280
Speaker 1: line on Missooi. I hit the money line on Florida.

1264
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:23,840
Speaker 1: But the A and M one is what threw that

1265
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:29,560
Speaker 1: parlay off. I had BYU, which got absolutely annihilated by TCU.

1266
01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:32,720
Speaker 1: I did have Oklahoma State Oklahoma State one. We didn't

1267

01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:48,680
Speaker 1: Those are my three like big picks that I that

1273
01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:52,840
Speaker 1: I threw out there, so one out of three and

1274
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:55,440
Speaker 1: I guess two out of three on the parlay. But

1275
01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:57,680
Speaker 1: still not where I need to be. I feel like

1276
01:05:57,920 --> 01:06:01,160
Speaker 1: I'm starting to kind of come out of the fog.

1277
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:03,800
Speaker 1: But it's okay, too long and I'm losing my patience.

1278
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:07,600
Speaker 2: I'm sorry to hear it, ty, I'm sorry here. By
