Speaker 1: start the third quarter on Big Fox USC elimination game

23
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 1: in the College Football Playoff, because if USC loses well

24
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: at six and three, they'll be out. They lead Northwestern

25
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: right now twenty one to fourteen. If you have the

26
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 1: over in this game, you're feeling pretty good right now.

27
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: I believe Mike Harmon has the over, even though he

28
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: hasn't really admitted it yet.

29
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, you got to keep some things under wraps. No,

30
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 4: no need for everybody to live and die. I mean,

31
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 4: why do you think I was really upset when the

32
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 4: defensive line had the ball lodged, just lodged by the

33
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 4: quarterback diving at is I at.

34
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 3: Any time Northwestern defensive touchdown?

35
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: And I got that ripped out of my arms, stolen,

36
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,559
Speaker 1: stolen piece of my soul along the way.

37
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 4: No, I mean, thirty five points in the first half,

38
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 4: highly entertaining, a lot of o fens, some trick plays, right,

39
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 4: you got the punter throwing a pass lefty. You got

40
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 4: a little bit of everything, as we mentioned over over

41
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 4: the course of this one. A lot of luminaries out

42
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 4: in Los Angeles.

43
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 3: And yeah, it's pretty exciting.

44
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 4: Stone only seventy six passing yards in the first half.

45
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 4: He'll have to pick it up his name is Preston

46
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 4: stone Casting.

47
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 3: You know, yeah, well we were named a stone.

48
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: You have to be good, right, Like you have to

49
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: be really like what who was the linebacker for notrename

50
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: Mike stone breakstone Breaker? Sure, i'd bean like, you have

51
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: to be a superstar if your name is stone Breaker.

52
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 3: He had a good choice.

53
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's like, hey, you got to be

54
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,399
Speaker 1: like the most physical linebacker. You have to be chiseled

55
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 1: all the concrete things together. You really if if you're

56
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: not great in your name is stone Breaker, you got problems.

57
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 4: No, it's it right, It's Burgy onto greatness. It's like,

58
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 4: you know, giving your kid a first name. That kind

59
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 4: of tells the profession. Because it's a family show and

60
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 4: it's still early on a Friday, I'll stay some of

61
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 4: the uh, the more problematic ones.

62
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: Yeah no, but you know what I mean, really just

63
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: really quick, because I've noticed this in my life. There's

64
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: two names that when people have them, I notice, like

65
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: there's a great book by this author, Florence Napp called

66
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: The Names. It's come out. It's a big it's a

67
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 1: big hit. I haven't read it yet, but but I

68
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: have it on Let get it from the library and

69
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: it's it's about a family and they name their kids

70
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: something and it's about that kid's life, and they tell

71
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: three stories because they have three different names, like like

72
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: they name the kid one like they name the kid John,

73
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 1: and the first note nova novella about it is about

74
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: what life is when the name is John and they

75
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: name it, they name the kid. It's the same thing,

76
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: but they name the kid something different and how different

77
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: the kid's life is because the name is different. Right,

78
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: So it's really I really can't wait to read.

79
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 3: It seems really interesting.

80
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 4: And naming the Maximus and Minimis, I mean, there's gonna

81
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 4: be sure you're gonna see how how they go through life.

82
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 4: Your child Destiny.

83
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 3: Minimis isn't doing anything for Essa, you're kidding.

84
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: But going through my life, the number of people that

85
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: I have not like there's been like a handful maybe

86
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: like I don't know, like three or four people whose

87
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: last name is sergeant or their first name is Christian,

88
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: and it's like they get all kinds of respect and

89
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: it's amazing.

90
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 3: It's amazing.

91
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: Especially well, if your name is sergeant, I gotta respect

92
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: you because you're a sergeant, not like your sergeant slaughter,

93
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: but your last name is like Kenny Sargant, who the

94
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: Speed Freaks guy.

95
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, for a long time.

96
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: But people, your last name is sergeant and first name

97
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: of like Christian. Yes, okay, respect. I'm like, wow, those

98
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: are names that just have respect built in there.

99
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 3: Awesome.

100
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 4: It's funny because you bring that up, and we have

101
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 4: a theory that we're still working on in the house.

102
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 4: But it's got a lot of legs under it that

103
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 4: anybody I've met that goes by Chuck or Charles, they've

104
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 4: gone in one of two camps. You can prove themselves

105
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 4: to be a really good guy or they're a real

106
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 4: dirt bag.

107
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 3: Wow.

108
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 4: So I approach all of them with great skepticism in

109
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 4: that first meeting, Like it's Charles, Like.

110
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: Huh so where is where does Charles?

111
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 3: I don't know the man? Okay, well, but I'm saying

112
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:03,559
Speaker 3: you have you have to have an opinion.

113
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, But I mean, he's I don't know Charles Barkley.

114
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 4: I'm talking about in my life. He's been in the

115
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 4: public eye for thirty five but he's never shown up

116
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 4: at my dinner table. If it was John Ratzenberger at

117
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 4: the end of that Cheers episode, he would have been

118
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 4: one of those people that's never been in my kitchen.

119
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, all right, just making sure, okay, just

120
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 3: making sure.

121
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 4: I mean, I gotta think he's probably on the good side,

122
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 4: but I.

123
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 3: Don't know, all right, he could be evil.

124
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: So we'll have more more NFL coming up in a

125
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 1: few minutes at Pete Futech Again. College Football News insider

126
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: joins us next hour on the show. But a couple

127
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: of big takes looking into tomorrow's game. Two really big games.

128
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 1: One is kind of off the beaten path, but one

129
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: of the big ones for thirty game on ABC LSU

130
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: and number four Alabama. Now, you would think that Brian

131
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: Kelly would have to soon.

132
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 4: Well that we've seen a coach that got dismissed for

133
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 4: people or gleeful. Now with James Franklin, they ran a

134
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 4: bunch of statistics, right, he didn't win, hear he didn't

135
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 4: do that. With Brian Kelly, you had some of that,

136
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 4: but then it really became all right, let me tell

137
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 4: you a story about Brian Kelly. Yeah, oh yeah, okay, remorse.

138
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: There's been no buyers remorse or Brian Kelly, none at all,

139
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: absolutely not. But I'll tell you this about Alabat. We

140
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: talked about the Kaylen de boor earlier in the week,

141
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: shout out to him because a month ago it was

142
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: what is his buyout? He can't win big games. We

143
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,679
Speaker 1: need somebody to replace the guy that replaced Nick Saban.

144
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: And here they are now. Now the guy can do

145
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,239
Speaker 1: no wrong. They're seven to one, they're undefeated in the SEC,

146
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 1: they're ranked fourth, they win the SEC, They're going to

147
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: have a buy and a home game. Like everything is

148
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: coming up Kaylen de bor right now. But I'll tell

149
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: you what else. Everything is gonna come up. Ty Simpson's

150
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: gonna win the Heisman Trophy right we We could talk

151
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: about the pro prospects of Mendoza and Dante Moore, who

152
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: clear with the size they have and as good as

153
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: they are, and Simpson's starting to climb up charts like

154
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: he's that third guys you talked a few minutes ago.

155
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: He's that third guy right there with them. And you

156
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: don't know how things are gonna evolve over the course

157
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: of the next few months.

158
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 3: But I'll tell you.

159
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: This, college football wise, he's gonna win the Heisman Trophy

160
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: because he has the storyline. He's got Alabama back into prominence.

161
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: They're gonna play big games the rest of the season,

162
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: right because it's Alabama Fana Mendoza. Yeah one is big

163
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: game against Dante more But it's not like the guys

164
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: suddenly playing big game after big game after big game.

165
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: The Heisman is usually a stats award, right, it's usually

166
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: a big you look at stats, but this year nobody

167
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: really has the stats. If Mendoza or Dante Moore running

168
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: away with stats and it was like, hey, Mendoza's got

169
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: forty touchdowns, everybody else has twenty. Okay, that's one thing,

170
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,119
Speaker 1: but nobody really has that.

171
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 3: So that kind of year, what's it gonna be.

172
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: Hey, here is ty Simpson with a difficult SEC schedule and.

173
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 3: Alabama is in the top four.

174
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: Who knows where they finish at the top of the year,

175
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: But right now, I'll tell you he's a guy that

176
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: doesn't throw any picks. He puts enough offense up on

177
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: the board. It's gonna be one of those cumulative Troy Smith.

178
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 3: Kind of years.

179
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: When Troy Smith won the Heisman for Ohio State, he

180
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: wasn't that flashy, but he had wins and and Ohio.

181
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 3: State was unbeaten.

182
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: They went into the playoff that's kind of what I

183
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: see for Simpson. It's gonna be at the end of

184
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: the year. Well, no real player really stood out with

185
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: crazy ass Joe Burrows seventy touchdown type numbers. So yeah,

186
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: the quarterback of Alabama is gonna win the Heisman Trophy.

187
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: I got a big feeling on him for that. I'll

188
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: tell you right now. I know he's second or third

189
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: in a lot of books, but he will race to

190
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: being number one very soon.

191
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 3: All right.

192
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 4: Current leader in the clubhouse is Julian Saying twenty one

193
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 4: hundred and eighty eight yards, twenty three touchdowns against three picks.

194
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 4: He is currently at plus one fifty, Mendoza at plus

195
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 4: two thirty, Simpson at plus four to thirty, and then

196
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 4: Marcel Reid is at plus six point fifty. He's got

197
00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 4: seventeen touchdowns against six picks. Yeah, that's where right, statistically, not.

198
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 3: A great not a great year, Bob. You know who's

199
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 3: that great year?

200
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 4: Ready?

201
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 3: This is Steve Anchelli with six touchdowns.

202
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 4: But look at that plus one fifty plus two thirty,

203
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 4: plus four thirty plus six fifty. The next guys on

204
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 4: the board, Stockton and Jauramiah Smith, Yeah, exactly, they're both

205
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 4: thirty to one. Yeah, that's how big that gap is

206
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 4: between those front four and the next on the board.

207
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: It's not a great year. It's not a great year

208
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 1: for the Heisman Trophy. And once in a while, when

209
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: when you don't have the stats, it comes to leadership

210
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: big teams, and look, Ohio State's not playing anybody, right,

211
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: how big is the win over Texas? Is it really big?

212
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: And Julian Sayan did not play great in that game.

213
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: It's not like he's I can't believe he's only the

214
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: favorite because Ohio State's number one. So knowing that, that's

215
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 1: kind of how what people are thinking right now. By

216
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: the end of the year, it's going to be Simpson.

217
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 4: He's got Yeah, he's got Purdue next, Yeah, then u

218
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 4: c LA home game, Uh, then Rutgers and then you

219
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 4: finish it off against Michigan.

220
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, I mean that.

221
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: His only chance to have a Heisman moment is that game,

222
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: right or you know, or looking at the Big Ten.

223
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: But if you're undefeated of the Big Ten championship, it

224
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. So even if you lose, you're making the

225
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: playoff like that doesn't He's got one chance for a

226
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: Heisman moment. But by then, and and and and Simpson's

227
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 1: gonna have more chances.

228
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's gonna be that guy. What'll be really.

229
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 4: Interesting to watch this week? And I know a little

230
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 4: bit of run for Nick Saban with some of his comments.

231
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 4: As you look at and evaluate the the LSU and

232
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 4: Alabama game is LSU's already fired their coach. So don't

233
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 4: you just throw everything against the wall. You're ten and

234
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 4: a half point dogs. This is one of the most

235
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 4: dangerous spots that you can be in, right because you

236
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 4: know there's a lot of talent on that squad. Now

237
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 4: it's just a matter of can you can you harness

238
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 4: it and come up with one big effort? So for Simpson,

239
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 4: huge test.

240
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: Jason Smith, Mike Harmon lot from the Fox Sports Radio studios.

241
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: The other game to focus on here for a couple

242
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: minutes is really off the beaten path. And you would

243
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: think that, Okay, beginning of the year, i'd be a

244
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: game people want to see.

245
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, not so much.

246
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: Colorado and West Virginia. They are third to last and

247
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: second to last in the Big Twelve, both teams one

248
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: and five and three and six. Colorado has looked absolutely

249
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: awful many times this season, they've lost the last two

250
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: weeks by the combined score of one hundred and five

251
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: to twenty four. They've lost to Utah. Who's in the top,

252
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: who's the who's the I think they're fifth or sixth

253
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: in the Big twelve right now. Utah is not bad.

254
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,599
Speaker 1: Arizona is not great there. You know, they're in the

255
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: middle of the pack in the in the in the

256
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: Big twelve. But this is now Colorado getting absolutely pacing

257
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: back to back games. Is gonna be no bowl game

258
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 1: for them this year. They're three and six and it's

259
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: not gonna be this year. But this is gonna be

260
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: a bad finish for Colorado, right because then they have

261
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: Arizona State after this game, Arizona State six and three.

262
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: Then they got Kansas State coming.

263
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 3: Up after that.

264
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: They're middle of the pack there, four and five. Dion

265
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: Sanders maybe in a winner go home tight situation for

266
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: next year with Colorado because the way he came in

267
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: with such bravado, all the attention on the program, Shador

268
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: Sanders and Travis Hunter, Wow, it's awesome.

269
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 3: And then they lost. But okay, hey, this is.

270
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 1: A one win team for a long time, and all right,

271
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: we're building it and he's got a lot of he's

272
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: got a lot of interest in the program, and Colorado's

273
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: a media darling. Yes, we love life, We love life. Okay,

274
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: last year things were a little bit better for Colorado

275
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: than they were the year before. You at Shador Sanders

276
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: getting headlines all year long, and of course Travis Hunter

277
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 1: is your Heisman Trophy winner. Now it didn't end in

278
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: a playoff, didn't end how they wanted it to end,

279
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: but still you saw a lot of growth because this

280
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: is a team that finished nine to four last year.

281
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: So okay, now they're starting over.

282
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 3: They went to the transfer portal for Caden Salter, all

283
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 3: kinds of changes, and now.

284
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: They are abysmal. And it's not it's it's it's too

285
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: soon for this year to be okay, Dion, it's not working.

286
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: But another year like this and last year is Dion's

287
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: last year at Colorado. Like they're not getting the return

288
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: for I'm sure what they're what they're putting in for,

289
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: nil what they paid for Dion. Like, Dion gets there,

290
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: his kids are there, and they were good, and now

291
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: that cupboard is empty, and man do they look bad?

292
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 3: Are they getting boat raced? Uh? On?

293
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: You know, very very uh, very commonly this year. So

294
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: I would say after this year, it's gonna be man.

295
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: If Dion has another year like this, If it's not

296
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: a if there's no growth, there's no bowl game or

297
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: a seven eight win season next year, yeah, they're gonna

298
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: move on. They're gonna go get somebody else because what

299
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: they're doing is not working. And and Deon's not gonna

300
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: trend up. Now this is gonna be you know, four

301
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: years of recruits for him. And if this is not okay,

302
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: so this is you've had your guys to come in.

303
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: You hand picked all your guys, right, you hand picked

304
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: all your guys to come come in. You get guys

305
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: an nil. You do really well. You get guys to

306
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,479
Speaker 1: come in. You're a great recruiter, you get the players.

307
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 3: To come in.

308
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: We need something better than this. So it's too soon

309
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: for this year. But you're looking at how it's gonna end.

310
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: And if this is another bad game against West Virginia,

311
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: who's terrible, and West Virginia is like a six point

312
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: favorite this game, I would say you are into next

313
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: year where it's a Deon Sanders wins or he gets

314
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: fired by Colorado.

315
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 4: Well, what's difficult. Also, in the process is the handling

316
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 4: of the coaching staff, knee jerk reactions, demotions. Did it

317
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 4: to Shermer this week? So Pat Shermer deposed as your coordinator.

318
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 4: Did that same thing to Sean Lewis, as you remember

319
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 4: famously he's now the head coach of San Diego State.

320
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 4: But it's one of those words like all right, it's

321
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 4: always a kind of a finger pointing, kicking down the line. Right.

322
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 4: Obviously you want to shuffle up and make some changes.

323
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 4: Think you're gonna make some spark. Okay, fine, but what

324
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 4: does that do to the squad? Do you really get

325
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 4: that jolt? I know we're talking about it. You know,

326
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 4: with these coaching changes and what the teams do. Could

327
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 4: I be surprised if lsu one, I'd be shocked. But

328
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 4: would I be surprised if they lost by forty? No,

329
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 4: I would not. You know, those kinds of things. Same

330
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 4: thing here with Colorado. You know, we want to give

331
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 4: you want to give some grace because obviously you know

332
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 4: what he came into the season and his physical, physical

333
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 4: health and mental health told that that had to take

334
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 4: on him and what it's meant to the program. So

335
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 4: you have that, But once you're on the field, you

336
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 4: still got to be able to take care of business,

337
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 4: and you don't have the depth necessary at each of

338
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 4: these positions, and they're just getting boat raised, right, They're

339
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 4: not even competitive at this point. And really it just

340
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 4: shows you had your sons and Travis Hunter propped up

341
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 4: the entire program. It was three guys. So it's the

342
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 4: decided fall off is problematic on a whole other level.

343
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 4: You know, whether you can still activate boosters or whatever

344
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 4: else as a whole other part of the equation. And

345
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 4: but from a coaching perspective, there's no cohesiveness right now.

346
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 4: And certainly you can only do so many speeches I

347
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 4: like getting you know, the approach he takes overall, you know,

348
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 4: in terms of accountability and such, but that only gets

349
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 4: you so far. You still need to go out and

350
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 4: win games for that to hold.

351
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's weird to think about it because you know,

352
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: you think of all the things, yes, all the things

353
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: he went through and coaching, but you know, it's a

354
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: results oriented business, right, It's what it is. And the

355
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: school needs to know, Hey, where we're spending a lot

356
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: of money, We're doing a lot of things here. We

357
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: want to know that that we're on the right path.

358
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: And and it's you know, it's if you're getting crushed

359
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: like this. I mean, look at look at a guy

360
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: like Brian Kelly's winning nine and ten games, and it's

361
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: not enough, right, Like, I mean, what's enough? What's enough

362
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: in Colorado to say, yeah, we're okay? Is it a

363
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: three and nine year this year? And is five and

364
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: seven good enough next year? With all the stuff that

365
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: Dion brings the table, both good and stuff that you're

366
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: not crazy about? So yeah, I really think you're you

367
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: Look at the end of this year, it's gonna be Hey,

368
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: Dean's gonna be an approved year.

369
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 3: Next year could be his last one in Colorado. Exit

370
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:05,639

Speaker 4: Sure, I'd like to spank your bald head and lick it.

397
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: Uh, it's been well, let's say it hasn't been a

398
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: great run at USC for Lincoln Riley so far this year,

399
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: but right now six and two, USC beating Northwestern by

400
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: two touchdowns and coming up in a few minutes, we'll

401
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: get into a play that USC pulled off earlier in

402
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 1: the game tonight that I really have to take my

403
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: hat off to Lincoln Riley and tell now that's a

404
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: trick play all right, we got that coming up in

405
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: about twenty minutes.

406
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 4: That sure, er, that's a trick.

407
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 1: We didn't do anything when everybody was stopping all over

408
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: your Syracuse Oranges the last couple of weeks. But no,

409
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: let's go after Northwestern because it's in our window. Dude,

410
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,959
Speaker 1: you were sending you, you were sending me, you were

411
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: sending me videos of Justin Field's interceptions. Here's another one.

412
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 1: Here's another one, here's another one. Well, they were all

413
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: with Bears uniforms on. They were foreshadowing.

414
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

415
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: Well, I mean here's it. I could say. The one

416
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: thing though, Justin Fields is not turning the football over. No,

417
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: he's I mean we're not scoring points. No, we're not

418
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: turning the football over. So there's that.

419
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 4: Well, I mean it's a clean box scorer, so that's good.

420
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 4: Remember when I said, zero's a while for Justin Fields.

421
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 4: No touchdowns, no picks, no yard Yeah. I mean we

422
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 4: talked about the name game earlier. You do you have

423
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 4: a running back for USC named King Miller, so naturally

424
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 4: he's got to have a big day. Eleven carries ninety

425
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 4: five yards of a score. Yeah, and since halftime, Preston

426
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 4: Stone has two passing yards for Northwestern.

427
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's how it's.

428
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: Uh, if your name is Stone, we said you gotta

429
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: be really good and hopefully this turns out better for you.

430
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 4: Mike car Yeah, well, I mean, look, the long road

431
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 4: begins with that first step. Sure it all goes back

432
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 4: to that that fumble recovery that well it didn't happen,

433
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 4: now did Yeah?

434
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 3: That was it. Yeah, I'm sorry about that.

435
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 4: But by the way, and off the line of run

436
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 4: for for Aaron Donald as well, Like they showed him

437
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 4: on the sideline and he's got nothing to do with

438
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 4: this game.

439
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's fun that he's there. Let'll just show

440
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 3: him that he's there. What were what? What do you what? What?

441
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 3: Taylor Swift?

442
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: You don't like when people show people at games like

443
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: you're upset about that?

444
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 4: Well, she's there as a fan, Okay, all right, he's

445
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 4: just a guy.

446
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 3: All right.

447
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 1: He's not there as a fan of football. He's just

448
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 1: I'm a fan of football. I celebrate it all.

449
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 3: He might be taking over for Lincoln Riley if Lincoln.

450
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: Take uh so being a football Friday, I love more

451
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: college football coming up in a bit, but a couple

452
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 1: more big games this week in the NFL and it's

453
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: weird because you wouldn't think this beginning of the year.

454
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 3: But maybe the game of the week.

455
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: Obviously we talked about Rams forty nine ers big game

456
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: for the last hour, but suddenly the Patriots and the

457
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,199
Speaker 1: Bucks is a big game, maybe the biggest game of

458
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 1: the week. And again, didn't have that on my Bengo

459
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: card beginning of the season.

460
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a fun one.

461
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 3: Right.

462
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 4: Certainly you've said your piece about Drake may and the

463
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 4: schedule that they've played to date. Look, you can only

464
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 4: beat who's on it. When we talk about the Tampa

465
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 4: Bay Buccaneers, it's been a mash unit still waiting for

466
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 4: a lot of those top notch and top flight players

467
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 4: to get back on the field. But Baker Mayfield certainly

468
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 4: has provided a lot of thrilling finishes throughout the year.

469
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 4: So we'll see rubber meets the road here for the Patriots,

470
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 4: right to step up in class on the road in

471
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 4: a big spot.

472
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: So this is where New England finally plays a good

473
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: team finally, right, Okay, the Bills were good, they won

474
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 1: that game, Okay, five whatever, Yes, yes, yes, let let's

475
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: play hang it all on that one game. Every other

476
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: team you have played stinks. Every team you play after

477
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: this stink. Everybody stinks. It's the easiest schedule in the

478
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: NFL in years. I still can't get over this. With

479
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Oh, they finally play a good team and

480
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 1: they're finally gonna lose. Right, Tampa Bay is at home

481
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: coming off a bye. They've had time to fix what's

482
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 1: gone a little off over the course of the past

483
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Right, Baker Mayfield was out to an

484
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 1: MVP type start. Kind of hit the skids a little bit. Now, Obviously,

485
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 1: you can only go so far when you keep losing

486
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: wide receivers and and and you're saying, hey, Keyshaan, can

487
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 1: you come back and play? You know, John Gruden's not

488
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: here anymore.

489
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 4: He was on the sideline. He's he's looking tight end dish.

490
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 3: You're gonna you're good. That's okay, Hey, that's okay again.

491
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: And no where you go, uh, you lose Bucky Irving,

492
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: who is a really big weapon. And and early in

493
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: the season you could see he was Baker mayfield security blanket.

494
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 1: How many times in big drives did Mayfield make the

495
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: right call checking it down? Irving is open and he

496
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 1: gains ten or fifteen yards. Missing him has been a thing.

497
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: But now they've had a wee to get healthy, to

498
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: get ready, and this is going to be one of

499
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: those Baker Mayfield chip on his shoulder games. I gotta

500
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: play well coming out of this. You know he's gonna

501
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: come out and play like his hair is on fire.

502
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 3: I have.

503
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: I have a great, big projection for him this week.

504
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: I think he's a top three fantasy quarterback this week. Overall,

505
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 1: their defense gets after New England enough, and I see

506
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,439
Speaker 1: this as a game where, hey, New England's stay is close,

507
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: but Tampa Bay pulls away and wins this by double digits.

508
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 1: Huge game for Baker Mayfield and Tampa gives the Patriots

509
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: a much deserved l as a good team that they

510
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: finally play and they lose to there.

511
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 4: Can you take the Jets hat off now there? That's

512
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 4: fine because that's all that was of No lies right there?

513
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 3: No lies, no lies, no lies, no lies detected.

514
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 4: There again, Buccaneers giving up the schedule twenty two and

515
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 4: zero point three per game the Jets.

516
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 3: If the Jets, if the Jets had the schedule, they

517
00:23:58,600 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 3: would be like three and six.

518
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 4: Come on, that's so easy, and you're I mean, look,

519
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 4: that takes you out of the running for whatever quarterback

520
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 4: was your favorite. If you agree with what I'm with,

521
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 4: it's like I go to the other position players and

522
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 4: I backfill the quarterback out of this class. All fine

523
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 4: young individuals, but I don't think you have that true

524
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 4: number one difference maker. But we'll see. We still have

525
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 4: a lot of football to play. Buccaneers given up twenty

526
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 4: two to three per game New England at eighteen point eight.

527
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,199
Speaker 4: When we talk about defensive actiman, can you get after it?

528
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 4: Front seven? Rashad White will be the guy out of

529
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 4: the backfield once again. Bucky Irving is out. No return

530
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 4: for Chris Godwin yet obviously Mike Evans lost for the year.

531
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 4: So for Abuka and the other receivers, imperative to try

532
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 4: to create separation on the edges. And that's been a

533
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 4: tough spot, right, That's where New England has been good.

534
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 4: And this is what we have to try to figure out.

535
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 4: What's the noise what's the noise factor of the schedule

536
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 4: versus guys you know, just taking care of business. How

537
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 4: about yet, how about that you know you can only

538
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 4: play who's on the schedule, buddy, So no.

539
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 3: I know that I know.

540
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 1: I'm not saying no, no, no, Listen, you say that

541
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: all the time, and I'm not disagreeing with that. I'm

542
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 1: not saying, but they're scared, they're they're impact, and how

543
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: good they are, they're overrated because they again, you gotta

544
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 1: beat somebody who's good. You can't just keep beating how

545
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: many I can't believe every team they play has zero

546
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: or one or two wins this year.

547
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 3: And again they haven't played the Jets once yet. Then

548
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 3: they get the Jets.

549
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 1: After they trade away their two best defensive players, Like

550
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 1: I mean, they still have the Jets twice in Miami

551
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 1: once they might get home field advantage of the AFC,

552
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: and the total record of the teams they are playing

553
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 1: against is gonna be like nine one hundred and seventy.

554
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 4: Five strength the schedule is three point fifty eight for

555
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 4: the remainder of the season.

556
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, what is it? Up until now?

557
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 4: I have not done that calculation. That was not part

558
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 4: of it, mainly since I mean just looking forward. But

559
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 4: this is an option like outside of Abuka, Like that's

560
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 4: the curiosity right in the receiving course, Sterling Shepherd, that's

561
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 4: gonna make the big play for you. I think Drake

562
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 4: may will certain to see a little more continuity with

563
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 4: the receivers, and yeah, you hang a little bit of

564
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 4: a grain of salt wat Tampa Bay two and a

565
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 4: half point favorites at home forty eight and a half.

566
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 4: That's a little so expecting some fireworks in this one.

567
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 4: Would not be surprised to see a massive effort out

568
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 4: a Baker Mayfield and a celebration. But I'm gonna go

569
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 4: the other way. I'm gonna say New England's defense is

570
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 4: good enough to get it done.

571
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: Oh boo boo. Okay, you'll say, hey, I will say this,

572
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: and I'll be fair. If they beat Tampa Bay, I

573
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: will say, okay, all right, you know what, Hey, they're legit.

574
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: They beat Tampa Bay, I will say, they're legit.

575
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 4: Are they wearing the Buco Bruce Hunis? Then I might

576
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 4: have to change my.

577
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 3: Pick now elsewhere.

578
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: And this is where again you're gonna love me or

579
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: hate me Giants and the Bears. I don't know what

580
00:26:58,600 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: to tell you, man, I don't know what to tell

581
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 1: people that still, for some reason think that Caleb Williams

582
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: isn't on the star path.

583
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 3: We told you he was on the star path earlier

584
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 3: this year. What else do you want him to do? Right?

585
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 1: I mean this is Chicago has become a complete team.

586
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: The running game is working great now. It's a full

587
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: service offense. They scored forty seven in Roma Dunes. They

588
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: didn't even catch a pass. Caleb Williams is winning games

589
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: at the end. He's taken him on long drives. He's

590
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 1: putting up big numbers. I don't know what else you

591
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: want from the guy. And I've told you the beginning

592
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: of the year it was gonna be the era of

593
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 1: good feeling for the Bears. It took Ben Johnson a

594
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 1: couple of weeks to really kind of get going right,

595
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: to get used to what it's like to be an

596
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: NFL head coach. And the difference between him and Aaron

597
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: Glenn is that I've seen growth from Ben Johnson and

598
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn still is not throwing Hail Mary's at the

599
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 1: end of the first half. No, no, no, don't want

600
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: to put points on the board. Let's just go to halftime.

601
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: Let's just go to halftime. So I've seen a lot

602
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: of growth out of the Bears. Look, the Bears are

603
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: good right now? Are they top of the league?

604
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 3: Good. No, that might be a year away. But are

605
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 3: they playoff good? Yeah?

606
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: Again, offenses full service, It doesn't it doesn't matter. I

607
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: if they're missing one guy out of their out of

608
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 1: their weapons, they have enough players to jump in right

609
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 1: to Cole Comet and Colton Lovelan. What's gonna happen? Cole

610
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 1: Comet can't play. Colton Loveland has the breakout game last week.

611
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: Maybe he's gonna wind up being the go to guy

612
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 1: when it's all said and done. But it's almost like

613
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: I feel like the Bears are like the Lions light,

614
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 1: where they have weapons all over. They have two good

615
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: running backs now and two good wide receivers and a

616
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: good tight end.

617
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 3: Now.

618
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: If you want to go position by position with the

619
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: Lions and the Bears, the Lions have the little bit advantage.

620
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: So that's why I call them the Lions Light. But

621
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: that's kind of where this Bears offense is. They are

622
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: gonna steamroll the Giants. Jackson Dart's gonna throw at a ton.

623
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: I love them in fantasy, but Chicago is more complete.

624
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: They are gonna thump the Giants and all of a sudden,

625
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a big Chicago.

626
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 3: Hey, I always knew you were a good party. And

627
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 3: remember we were on the Chicago Bears train much earlier

628
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 3: than everybody else.

629
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, when you look at it, still, you got an

630
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:01,479
Speaker 4: offense that's inconsistent. Any did what they needed to against

631
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 4: Cincinnati and they put up a full forty seven when

632
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 4: it's all said and done. Giants defense decent defensive front.

633
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 4: Perhaps we overrated them a little bit, but the back

634
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 4: seven certainly beatable. A Donzale will have a big day here.

635
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 4: You're talking about DJ Moore got back in the good

636
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 4: graces of fantasy owners and Bears fans a week ago.

637
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 4: Comet had that pass completion before he got hurt, so't

638
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 4: forget that. But you know, when you look at the

639
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 4: tight end, who pretty much is another wide receiver out there,

640
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 4: the way you can line leveland up is a big

641
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 4: deal for them, and they found their back, you know.

642
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 4: And DeAndre Swift got downgraded personal plus injury, so you

643
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 4: push that down a little bit as well. But you're

644
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 4: you're looking at a balanced offense against a suspect defense.

645
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 4: Jackson Dartal may have his fantasy day, no question, because

646
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 4: they'll still run a bunch, so you'll get some of that.

647
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 4: But Mann guys. Two of the last three weeks. He's

648
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 4: been huge. You'll have another spot here against the Giants.

649
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 4: Look at them going away minus four and a half.

650
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 4: Easy score. By the way. Also a game that's gonna

651
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 4: get weird, supposed to be snow and wins up to

652
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 4: thirty miles an hour in Chicago.

653
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, it's gonna look great, man, I'll tell you.

654
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: Bears Bears Giants is always so much fun because that's

655
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: a that's a game that takes back. Really not many

656
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: games take me back to the seventies. But when you said,

657
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: like Steelers Cowboys, Steelers Steelers Cowboys takes me back to

658
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: the seventies, Redskins Cowboys back to the Redskins, not Commanders

659
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: obviously takes back to the seventies. Bears Giants also takes

660
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: me back to the seventies.

661
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 4: No, that's it.

662
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: I mean a very few matchup A lot of them

663
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: take me back to the eighties, some of the nineties,

664
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: but there's just a few that get me back to

665
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: the seventies.

666
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 3: Bears Giants is one of them.

667
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 4: Or you circle back to the eighties, like we were

668
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 4: talking about a little bit last night with some of

669
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 4: the efforts I'm gonna use that word kindly or maybe

670
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 4: with the sarcasm dripping of the punting game, because maybe

671
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 4: you want to cue a little show Lindetta while you're

672
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 4: at it.

673
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: Oh, so there's a couple of our picks from the

674
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: biggest games of the week. Whiff on the punt right there.

675
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: Time now to find out what's trending in the wide

676
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: world of sports. But guy is wearing a bowling shirt

677
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: to work because he's going to seventies night after the

678
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: show tonight.

679
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 3: Hey, it's Steve de Sager. By the way, we only.

680
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 7: Almost had one of those windy Lendetta punts last.

681
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 4: Night at Denver. Yeah, you would think that was consistently bad.

682
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 7: Ladies and gentlemen. We have college football going out on

683
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 7: Fox TV right now at nineteenth ranked usc The Trojan's

684
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 7: lead is now twenty eight seventeen against Northwestern in the

685
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 7: final seconds of the third quarter. Tulane is still leading

686
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:45,080

Speaker 7: late third at the Coliseum, Late third in Memphis. This

688
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,800

690

00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 7: playoff eleven and number twelve right now because Virginia, number

693

00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 7: and Memphis as the best of the group of five teams,

695
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:14,480

758
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: Big Fox right now, Number nineteen USC on top of

759
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:39,280
Speaker 1: Northwestern twenty eight seventeen, early in the fourth quarter again,

760
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,800
Speaker 1: elimination game for USC and college football for the playoff.

761
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 3: It's a big.

762
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 1: Week for that teams with two losses, they wind up losing,

763
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: that's kind of it. But they're in control, they're driving.

764
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 1: Looks like they're gonna put another score on the board

765
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: here and clinch this game. However, there is a trick

766
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: play from earlier in this game that I really as

767
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: as bad as it's been for Lincoln Riley at USC

768
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 1: and how much everybody wants him out, uh, I gave

769
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: him a lot of credit for the fake punt that

770
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: USC pulled off early in the first half against Northwestern.

771
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 1: It resulted in extending their drive, which ended in a

772
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,399
Speaker 1: touchdown run by Jade and Maiva. Here's the play by play,

773
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,479
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna tell you how they pulled it off.

774
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:25,399
Speaker 3: All to bank.

775
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 5: Sam Johnson gets it to Hines at a first down.

776
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 5: Sam Johnson's been at Valparaizo, Jackson State, Alabama, and USC,

777
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 5: and little did they know in Indiana or down south,

778
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 5: and he could throw the ball like this.

779
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're gonna watch to Nick Hines inside relief, put

780
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 6: the foot down, get back out.

781
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 3: And look at this Diaz.

782
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 6: Oh my goodness, that punter said I can play quarterback too, baby.

783
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 3: Let's go. Uh.

784
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: Only one thing with that big fox on the call.

785
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: It was not USC punter Sam Johnson that made the throw.

786
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: But wait a minute, they know who Sam Johnson is,

787
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: Number eighty, He's the punter. A couple of weeks ago,

788
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 1: USC took their third string quarterback Sam Hewart of the

789
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: Washington Hewards.

790
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 3: And gave him number eighty. He was listed as number.

791
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: Eighty on the UC roster for this week. USC made

792
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: the change really quietly. I'm sure, thinking he's the third

793
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: string quarterback, is he really gonna play? It's okay if

794
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 1: he does, We're gonna put him in his number eighty,

795
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 1: and we're gonna get a chance when it's time, we're

796
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: gonna pull off a fake punt. So he's wearing the

797
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 1: same number as Trojans punter Sam Johnson, which of course

798
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: is allowed in college football.

799
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 3: Right, you see this all the time.

800
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 1: No, there's a number one on offense, number one on defense, right,

801
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 1: because so many players this happens. So Sam Hewart is

802
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 1: the third string quarterback. He came out threw that pass

803
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 1: at tonook Hines. It was a dime, right, I mean

804
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: right on the outside, show out of bounds for a

805
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 1: first down and that extends the drive. It goes in

806
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:07,320
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. He's a couple of inches shorter than Johnson.

807
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 1: Johnson's sixty three. Heward's like six' one ish or so.

808
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: But he comes off the feel, he takes off his

809
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 1: helmet high five and like, wait a minute, that's Sam Hewart.

810
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 1: That's not Sam Johnson. So again, this is some kind

811
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: of trick play. The amount of detail going into this

812
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: and keeping it quiet just to pull it out here

813
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 1: when they need it. That is a trick play, my friend.

814
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 1: There's all kinds of crazy. We're gonna do this and

815
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: the guy's gonna pretend to leave the field and he's not.

816
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: And this guy's gonna hide the football, you know, in

817
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: his back, and we're gonna make sure this guy's over it. No,

818
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 1: but this is some kind of trick play with planning.

819
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: I all hats off, whether it's Lincoln Riley or whatever

820
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: defensive coach, special teams coach came up with it. That

821
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: is some kind of trick play.

822
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 4: Spirit of the law, integrity, all of those things, window shit, cannery,

823
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:58,240
Speaker 4: tom foolery. Hey, man, if the rules are on the books,

824
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 4: then allow you to do such. I'm ad it man, Yeah,

825
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 4: I mean in the end, you still have to defend it.

826
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 4: And you failed.

827
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: Completely legal, completely legal play. Last year, apparently Bowling Green

828
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: pulled off a similar stunt in the sixty eight Ventures

829
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 1: Bowl where their third string quarterback switches uniform number to

830
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: a number very close to the punters jersey but not

831
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: the same, which I don't know why you would be

832
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 1: close but not the same, And he came on the

833
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 1: field he actually threw a touchdown pass when they thought

834
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:28,919
Speaker 1: it was the punter, and it was a touchdown pass.

835
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: So here's usc Maybe that was where Lincoln Riley got

836
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: it from. But that's a fun play to keep that quiet.

837
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know that I could like no,

838
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: no, no no. I was like, I gotta tell somebody we

839
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:40,280
Speaker 1: got this coming.

840
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 4: No no no, I mean like you slipped that into

841
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:46,280
Speaker 4: the U into the rawster, because I got to imagine

842
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 4: it's not going through some clearinghouse. I mean, it's like, ah,

843
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 4: we just did this. They chose up on the roster card.

844
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 4: And whether Northwestern noticed that in the in the offing

845
00:39:58,080 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 4: or not, I'm going to go out and limits of

846
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 4: nol uh reacted to the pass route. But you know again,

847
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,320
Speaker 4: you used to got to go play defense. So hats

848
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 4: off to him, either intestinal fortitude or desperation, whatever it worked.

849
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 4: They got the touchdown and then and they're winning going away.

850
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 4: So uh now I'll celebrate something that is actually fun.

851
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 4: You know me, I'm not a huge marching band guy,

852
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 4: but if you can get Mick Fleetwood out there to

853
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,280
Speaker 4: do some tusk and hang out with the USC marching band,

854
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 4: I can get on board that.

855
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: And when I say that Sam Hewart is of the

856
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: Washington Hewarts, yes he is Damon Hewart's son, Rock Hewart's nephew,

857
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: like David Hewart, who who I think he was the

858
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 1: quarterback didn't he didn't he take over? Hewart took over

859
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: for Brunel.

860
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 4: In that timeline. The other thing is he used to

861
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 4: work with Jason Bennetti, so failed by Benetti.

862
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 1: Coming up next, we take a look at two more

863
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,360
Speaker 1: huge games in the NFL this weekend.

Speaker 8: I'm just going to help out all those people, those

876
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 8: starving YouTube TV people that you know. I'll just tell

877
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 8: you what's going to happen, you know, so there's no

878
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,760
Speaker 8: you're missing out on anything. You go take a walk,

879
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 8: or go look at fall colors, or do something else

880
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 8: of your Saturday. So you're not all the good games

881
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 8: pretty much going to be on regular TV and you're

882
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 8: not really watching.

883
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 3: Okay, And there you go, that's good. I like that.

884
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 3: You know that, you know that's the one thing Pete.

885
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 8: This whole time, I'm right, I'm trying to make everything better, though,

886
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 8: I'm trying to help.

887
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 5: You know.

888
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: It's funny because you know, obviously we spent some time

889
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 1: talking about that this week and the whole YouTube thing,

890
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 1: and I said, you know, the one thing that ESPN

891
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: has to really understand is that once you show that

892
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: you can get along without something, people don't come back

893
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: to it. And and no one is underserved with college football.

894
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 1: Like if I can't watch Alabama Tennessee, okay, I'll watch

895
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: Oregon and Penn State, right, I'll watch Michigan and Nebraska.

896
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,879
Speaker 1: Like if I'm not getting what is a big game,

897
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 1: I'm okay because I can still watch other great college

898
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: football games. And and that's not something where oh I

899
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 1: gotta get back ESPN to see this game.

900
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:47,320
Speaker 6: No.

901
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: I can get games on Fox and CBS and everywhere

902
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:51,720
Speaker 1: else all across the dial.

903
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 8: It's not the NFL, and so it's it's the thing

904
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 8: that everyone has to remember is that it's so provincial

905
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 8: that everyone is all everyone cares about Alabama and Georgia.

906
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 8: Well they do get the biggest rating TV ratings and

907
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 8: all that, but yeah, it'scause everyone in the South watches it.

908
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,280
Speaker 8: It's not like you know, and then of course people

909
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 8: watch on national scale, but like they're you know, Ohio

910
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 8: State fans don't know you know, Vanderbilt exists, you know,

911
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 8: like and vice versa. So like it's just sort of

912
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 8: hard for this and you're right with this is proving

913
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 8: more than anything else, is that it's just the games.

914
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 8: The rest of the talking blah blah blah. It is

915
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 8: just it's just it's you don't need it, you know,

916
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 8: nobody really is gonna miss that stuff. So and then

917
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 8: I'll put it to this, like it's for the NBA,

918
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 8: like that's going to quickly turn when you can't get

919
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 8: NBA games on YouTube TV. And for me who doesn't

920
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 8: really care until the playoffs, Okay, you know there's a

921
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:45,839
Speaker 8: game on somewhere, I'll have it on the background. But

922
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 8: am I going to like go out of my way

923
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:48,280
Speaker 8: and pay for it now.

924
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: All right, So while we get to see whatever games

925
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: we all get to see tomorrow, we don't look we

926
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 1: get into the elimination part of the season.

927
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 8: Right.

928
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: We talked about that a lot tonight because here's usc

929
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 1: with two losses, their next loss knocks them out. We

930
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 1: got a lot of teams now in the back end

931
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 1: of the top twenty, in the top twenty five with

932
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 1: a couple of losses. You see any elimination games for

933
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: any of those teams this weekend that hey, guess what

934
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: that third loss means.

935
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 8: You're going to be cooked everyone, And if you have

936
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,239
Speaker 8: lose a third game, that's over everyone. If you, yeah,

937
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 8: there's no way unless you can somehow manage to get

938
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 8: into a conferenceship Power four conference championship with three losses

939
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:28,399
Speaker 8: or with two losses and then lose that championship game.

940
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:32,919
Speaker 8: There's no way if you cannot go nine and three

941
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 8: and get into this college football playoff. Not this year.

942
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 8: It's just it's just not going to happen because there's

943
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:42,280
Speaker 8: too many teams, there's too much traffic. So for example,

944
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:47,359
Speaker 8: the Oregon Iowa game tomorrow, that's an elimination game pretty much.

945
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 8: If you think that Iowa's going to lose, so Oregon

946
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:52,919
Speaker 8: can still stay alive, but obviously would take a big

947
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 8: hit Iowa. That's going to be a problem if they

948
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 8: can't get that done. But really, for the most part,

949
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,799
Speaker 8: you're looking for or if you're a fan of a

950
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 8: two loss, if you're a USD fan, or if you're

951
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 8: say a Missouri fan, and you can pull that off

952
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 8: against Texas A and m Tomar or two loss teams,

953
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 8: you need Notre Dame and or preferably both Miami to

954
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:20,800
Speaker 8: lose because those two are going to screw up everyone

955
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 8: because no matter what happens in the next few seconds

956
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 8: here in Memphis, Tulane, South Florida is going to rip

957
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 8: through everyone else, and the domino effect from there became

958
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 8: South Florida is going to get in Miami destroyed South Florida.

959
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 8: Notre Dame's going to get incause it's going to be

960
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 8: ten and two. Miami beat Notre Dame, so it might

961
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 8: be low on the totem pole, but you need another

962
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 8: Miami loss or it's going to be the ten seed

963
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:44,800
Speaker 8: and all.

964
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 3: This qu show sarahcuse to save college football as we

965
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 3: know it.

966
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,359
Speaker 8: Yes, exactly. Hey, you know what let's see if they

967
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 8: can do that. That's just bomb away. They're still throwing

968
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 8: all right. They just can't stop any buddy or score point.

969
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 8: It's like they forget to score points. Like you'll go

970
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 8: they'll move moving like yeah, well shoot, we forgot to

971
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 8: score okay. Uh but yeah, like you said, I'm with you.

972
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 8: I'm actually I've actually lifted your thought here. If you

973
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:17,919
Speaker 8: want to say, who is the MVP of the season, well,

974
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:22,800
Speaker 8: who's more MVP Yere than you know, Steven Jelly because geez.

975
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean everything Syracuse is three and one. We

976
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 1: beat Clemson. He's a leading passer in the country. And

977
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 1: now we haven't won a game six just terrible.

978
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:35,479
Speaker 8: And they can't score. And if that just can't win.

979
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 8: They went from being this high octane thing to you know,

980
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 8: maybe you'll score, maybe it won't. I mean, it's it's

981
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 8: been completely cha. But tomorrow is gonna be painful because

982
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 8: actually the other big here, here's the other factor in this.

983
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 8: And I haven't actually checked late they to see if

984
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 8: this matters. I believe the game is at like three

985
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:59,240
Speaker 8: thirty in the afternoon in Miami Gardens time. That's gonna

986
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 8: be It's not gonna be football weather in terms, that's

987
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 8: that's gonna be and the other one is gonna be

988
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:08,360
Speaker 8: uh Arizona. So it's Arizona is going to be playing

989
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:10,840
Speaker 8: in the middle of the day where it's gonna be

990
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 8: about eighty five degrees and two sides. So like some

991
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 8: of these you know, middy start times, they're gonna take

992
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 8: their toll on some of these teams.

993
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 4: That Arizona Kansas game sitting there. Yeah, it's it's a

994
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:23,919
Speaker 4: curious slate. We don't have a lot of the top

995
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 4: twenty five's matched up here. But Pete, we've been talking

996
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 4: about trying to find that edge. And I guess I'll

997
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 4: ask the next question, who's the next coach getting fired

998
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 4: at the end of tomorrow.

999
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 8: Ain't Luke Pickel apparently?

1000
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,279
Speaker 4: Now how about that? What's he got going on?

1001
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 8: I don't know. I don't Maybe it's maybe it's me.

1002
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 8: Maybe it because I refuse to drop a dime of

1003
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 8: nil money to the school that like, I don't know,

1004
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,839
Speaker 8: but yeah, they're gonna make a bigger commitment to you

1005
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 8: know something or other. I don but yeah, but look,

1006
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 8: you know, everyone's on a hot seat now. It's crazy.

1007
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 8: I mean, it's still gets lost in the in the

1008
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:05,320
Speaker 8: whole shuffle here, but you know, Alabama's this presumptive national

1009
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 8: championship contender. It got blown off pretty fast that they

1010
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,440
Speaker 8: were a miracle against South Carolina if you bet a

1011
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 8: little little while back away from this being Kalin the

1012
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 8: Moore hot seat game. So but I do sort of

1013
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,839
Speaker 8: think that that's I am curious to see what's going

1014
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 8: to happen with Frank Wilson taking over there for Brian Kelly,

1015
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 8: because from all little indications there, there's not anybody on

1016
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:32,840
Speaker 8: that team who is extremely upset about the Brian Kelly,

1017
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:36,319
Speaker 8: you know, firing in this. So let's see if that

1018
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 8: team comes out shot and it comes out shot like

1019
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 8: a cannon. So that's gonna be a pretty fun game

1020
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 8: to watch when they go against Bama tomorrow night.

1021
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:43,359
Speaker 3: See.

1022
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:45,839
Speaker 4: I brought that up to you earlier, Smith saying, hey,

1023
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 4: it's the wild card, because you know, normally you boil

1024
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:52,280
Speaker 4: it down to all right, we're just not good whatever.

1025
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 4: There were a lot more stories that started circulating about

1026
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 4: Brian Kelly than your usual firing. It's not just hey,

1027
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 4: here's his record against top twenty five, top ten, top five, whatever.

1028
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 8: How about I think they were bringing out the training camp,

1029
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:07,800
Speaker 8: blocking sleds and things like in the last two weeks

1030
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 8: they're just doing the old school Oklahoma type things, you know,

1031
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 8: drill is uh, just little things like that. But like

1032
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 8: who knows because we're seeing that though, because you're seeing

1033
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 8: you know, the coach takes, the coach leaves, new coach

1034
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 8: comes in, and all of a sudden they kind of

1035
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 8: just play. It's like, and this is This has been

1036
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 8: a kind of a theme I've been thinking about with quarterbacks.

1037
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:32,319
Speaker 8: You know, certainly when you can just tell when they're

1038
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 8: just they're they're just over coach not to screw up,

1039
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 8: and then all of a sudden, you have a two

1040
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 8: minute drill and they can just let it rip. It

1041
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 8: be a quarterback, then all of a sudden they look great. Well,

1042
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:45,280
Speaker 8: sometimes that happens with teams, you know, whether it's UAB

1043
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 8: coming out and beating this Memphis team, or you know,

1044
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,320
Speaker 8: you know U c l a all of a sudden,

1045
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 8: you know, taking a deep breath and looking great for

1046
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,239
Speaker 8: a little while, or you know, I you know, Florida's

1047
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 8: been was okay against Georgia, even though I think the

1048
00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 8: billion nap your timing was pretty curious. I'm really curious

1049
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:03,840
Speaker 8: that I'm curious to see I think, actually, I know

1050
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 8: there are other circumstances around is firing at the old place,

1051
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 8: But I think Auburn just upgraded from Hugh Freeze to

1052
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:14,280
Speaker 8: DJ Diurkin. I'm really curious to see what Auburn does

1053
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 8: over the next few weeks because they've been close. That's

1054
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 8: another Syracuse like team that just can't score. And if

1055
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 8: they could just start to put a few more points

1056
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,759
Speaker 8: on the board. Their defense has been great, they could

1057
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 8: screw someone up over the next few weeks.

1058
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 1: Pqtech College Footballnews dot Com with US Jason Smith Mike

1059
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 1: Harmon live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. You know,

1060
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 1: one thing I love Pete as this season evolves is

1061
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 1: that look they're on the big nude kickoff tomorrow. I

1062
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 1: love the fact that Indiana has become America's team of

1063
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, Like they've become that the little engine

1064
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 1: that could with zero football history at all, and here's

1065
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 1: a guy. They have a guy that could be the

1066
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 1: number one pick in the draft, and they're undefeated, and

1067
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 1: it's it's such a shock for.

1068
00:50:56,640 --> 00:51:01,360
Speaker 3: Everybody, but everybody loves Indiana. Everybody. Ericstine twenty twenty.

1069
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 8: Five, I apparently found out to my wife actually knows

1070
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 8: Fernando Mendoza's mom, and so like, do you know who

1071
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:11,840
Speaker 8: this different, this Fernando Mendoza. Yeah, I know who he is,

1072
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 8: Like okay, like in the small little world of Skyria.

1073
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:17,399
Speaker 8: But by the way, the whole Indiana being America's team,

1074
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:20,480
Speaker 8: have you talked to anybody from OH, I don't know,

1075
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:24,880
Speaker 8: Alabama or SEC country because they're still living off the

1076
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 8: narrative the oh Indiana can't beat it. It hasn't played

1077
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:30,359
Speaker 8: anybody sort of narrative. And I've had to point out

1078
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 8: way too many times in the last week and a

1079
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:36,320
Speaker 8: half or so. They beat Oregon at Oregon by double digits.

1080
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 8: They destroyed Illinois, they beat Iowa at Iowa, and there's

1081
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 8: just there. They've been flawless against everyone else. I mean,

1082
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 8: they've just you know, okay, so if your schedule isn't

1083
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 8: as crazy, you might take there. Well what do they do.

1084
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 8: They come out there and they win every game by

1085
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:54,919
Speaker 8: double digits. They've just been fantastic so far. And it's

1086
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 8: you know, I'm with you. At the very least, it

1087
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 8: provides hope, and it really screws up the idea of

1088
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 8: you know, not being able to be great right away,

1089
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 8: because sometimes that's whatever. It's two posts what everyone's firing

1090
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 8: their coach because they see, well, Indiana can do it.

1091
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:11,920
Speaker 8: Why can't LSU or Florida or you know, any of

1092
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,719
Speaker 8: these teams you know pop up right away. It's not

1093
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 8: that easy. So Netti is just just a generational, talented guy.

1094
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 8: And I keep saying, look, if you're Penn State, if

1095
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 8: you're LSU, if you're Florida, Tony up, it's only a

1096
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 8: fifteen million dollars buyout to get him out of there.

1097
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 4: Go get them, Pete, I would be remiss. We we

1098
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 4: talked about it a little bit earlier in the show,

1099
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 4: and I see the headline on College footballnews dot com

1100
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 4: Colorado versus West Virginia prediction. The Big Twelve's most interesting

1101
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:42,720
Speaker 4: game is? Is it the final throws of the Dion run.

1102
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 8: I don't know if it's that, I mean because still

1103
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 8: at the end of the day, if it was, it's

1104
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:50,399
Speaker 8: the most Obviously Texas Tech BYU is the biggest game.

1105
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:53,759
Speaker 8: That's it. But in terms of just being interesting for

1106
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 8: like you said, all the storylines, because it's not just

1107
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:00,120
Speaker 8: that they're not winning. I mean they're getting they they

1108
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:02,799
Speaker 8: just don't look like they can play football. I mean,

1109
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:05,839
Speaker 8: this has been a colossal meltdown over the last two games.

1110
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:09,760
Speaker 8: And if they get hammered again, like you know, forty

1111
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:13,920
Speaker 8: five to seven or something by West Virginia, who that's

1112
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 8: another team that can't score except for last week. If

1113
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 8: all of some rich Rod thing works, that's what kind

1114
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:21,359
Speaker 8: of makes it interesting. And the problem is this kind

1115
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:25,240
Speaker 8: of goes for everything is Colorado. If that wasn't Deon Sanders,

1116
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:29,359
Speaker 8: if that was just coach, you know, Jones, then he'd

1117
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 8: still saying, look, you know Colorado from where they were

1118
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 8: three years ago, it's still in great shape. It's still

1119
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:37,920
Speaker 8: you know, rising up, it's still rebuilding. You can meet

1120
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:39,840
Speaker 8: there's all such a narrative you can take to it.

1121
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 8: But because it was so overhyped before then now it's

1122
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:46,839
Speaker 8: just you's got to be able to at least show

1123
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 8: that you can there's life after Shador Sanders, because obviously

1124
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 8: he was the reason why they won so many really

1125
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 8: close games.

1126
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 3: Yep, I look at it this way, Pete.

1127
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 1: Is that look you see that they've lost the last

1128
00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:00,320
Speaker 1: two weeks combined score of like one hundred and twenty

1129
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 1: to thirty, Like, I feel like this is a year

1130
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:03,920
Speaker 1: where it's.

1131
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:04,680
Speaker 3: Going to be a bad year.

1132
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:07,839
Speaker 1: There's no bowl game where he is in a win

1133
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:09,400
Speaker 1: or go home type situation.

1134
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:11,719
Speaker 3: Next year where if he doesn't win, get to a

1135
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 3: bowl game. Show he's got things going in the right direction.

1136
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 3: Colorado's going to move.

1137
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 8: On, as I keep thinking, I wouldn't be shocked if

1138
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:24,880
Speaker 8: yet move If deanced he moved on to Florida State,

1139
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 8: I mean, no, I like it. I mean, I mean,

1140
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:31,719
Speaker 8: I mean, look, it's the problem is for and I

1141
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:34,360
Speaker 8: kind of I've always I've been in I'm a bashed

1142
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 8: giant anders stand and I actually liked what he did,

1143
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:39,239
Speaker 8: and I still do like he did what you want

1144
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 8: to do if you're a long stuffering you know, fan base,

1145
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:44,399
Speaker 8: you want to see guys. He came in and said,

1146
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:46,400
Speaker 8: you guys aren't good at football. I'm getting rid of

1147
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 8: the bad guys at football and I'm bringing in the

1148
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 8: good guys who are at football. And they were, you know.

1149
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:53,640
Speaker 8: But the problem is there isn't an infrastructure there. It

1150
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 8: takes years to find the right five guys for a

1151
00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 8: starting line. It takes years unless you're Texas go all

1152
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 8: with a lot of money, to get that defensive line right,

1153
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:05,719
Speaker 8: and they are not. It's it's you know the old

1154
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:09,799
Speaker 8: cliche blocking attackling. They are not blocking at tackling very well.

1155
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 8: So yeah, it's it's been an ugly run for them.

1156
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 1: You can fall him on Twitter at Pete Futech. That is,

1175
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:14,560
Speaker 1: earlier tonight. I have a sneaking suspicion this is gonna

1176
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:19,880
Speaker 1: be the trend in college basketball between now and the

1177
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 1: end of the year.

1178
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 3: What is it.

1179
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:24,120
Speaker 1: It's something that some adults will love and some adults

1180
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:25,040
Speaker 1: will absolutely hate.

1181
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 3: That's next. Jason and Mike Fox Sports Radio,
