00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 2: of the dog in the fight, it's the size of

11
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 2: the fight in the dog.

12
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,080

18
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: the next thirty five minutes, but you know, there's plenty overflow.

19
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,760

Speaker 1: please keep phitting us up on social as well as

21
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: our reviews and comments. Everything that stirs that conversation, something

22
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: that we you know, internally are dealing with, but also

23
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: just we love the sport and I think the reason

24
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: why I feel this way is what a great week

25
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: to be in the G five seat And I you

26
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: becoming the first MAX school to beat a top five

27
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: AP team.

28
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 3: He's lining it up five seconds left, then I you

29
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,920

30
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 2: This fuck, it's fucked.

31
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 3: It's fucked. Picked up by yea? Are you picked up

32
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 3: by the Huskis has done it? The busts with the

33
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 3: biggest upset and are you history? They come to South in.

34
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 2: Indiana and they knock off the number five team in

35
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: the country.

36
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 3: The football gods, we're.

37
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: Shining down and are you just a phenomenal experience? What

38
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: were your thought takeaways from that game? They mucked it

39
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: up just like a MAC team wants to, and they

40
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: get out of South Bend under the watchful eyes of

41
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: Touchdown Jesus with a victory, and man, what a moment.

42
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was awesome.

43
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: It was.

44
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 3: It was such a cool moment for the MAC. You know,

45
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 3: listening to Thomas Hammock after that game cut, you know,

46
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 3: crying and you know, having it be a guy that

47
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 3: obviously he played there, you know, legendary running back for

48
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 3: that school, Like how much that program means to him?

49
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 3: You know, this is one of those things where you

50
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 3: know people will talk about it for for decades to come,

51
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 3: Like remember when we went into South Bend. You know,

52
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 3: you can think about the app State beating Michigan, like

53
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 3: this game will live on forever, and that is it

54
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: doesn't happen often, and when it does, it is so

55
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 3: so cool. And every year you hear these pessimistic people

56
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 3: talk about nil and the transfer portal and it's going

57
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 3: to kill the sport and it's gonna, you know, ruin parody.

58
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 3: And it's like nothing's going to ruin the parody of

59
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 3: eighteen year old kids like they do stupid shit any

60
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 3: given day. I don't think this stuff's ever going to

61
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 3: change no matter what you do to the sport. That's

62
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 3: why it's the best. It was an awesome, awesome weekends.

63
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 1: To keep up with the recap from Week two, Ash

64
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: and GenZ just straight god mode. He almost put the

65
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: Broncos on his back and willed them to a win

66
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 1: over Oregon in Eugene at outs and one hundred and

67
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: ninety two on the grounds, multiple touchdowns, he was bouncing

68
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: off people. He's basically made the Oregon defense and all

69
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: of their blue chip athletes look just as good as

70
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 1: or bad, depending on how you want to phrase it,

71
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: as the Georgia Southern Defense. So the question I have

72
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: for you is is he already the best G five

73
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: running back of all time? I mean, you got like

74
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: la Danian tom Winson, you got Marshall Falk, he got

75
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: Travis Prentis from Miami, Ohio with all the records that

76
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: he set. But at this point, I think it's just

77
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: a conversation between Falk, Tomlinson and jen Z.

78
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's honestly a tough question. I would say, you know,

79
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 3: I was I didn't watch fucking college. I was too young.

80
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: You know.

81
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 3: Lt even was getting out of pretty young then too,

82
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 3: So it's a hard to be I think it'll be

83
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 3: interesting to see if he can keep it up all year. Yeah,

84
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 3: I mean, he's definitely gonna play himself in that conversation.

85
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 3: I think he is a legitimate chance to end up

86
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 3: in New York if he keeps playing the ways. And

87
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 3: more importantly, that's again we talk about you know, I

88
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 3: know you may have had many, many debates. One of

89
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 3: the benefits to the expanded playoffs is Boise State will

90
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 3: be relevant the whole year. You know, where the G

91
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 3: five tens to get cast off. As the year goes on,

92
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 3: it starts at you know, the playoffs all anyone cares about. Well,

93
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 3: if Boise states in that mix, gen will be national news.

94
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 3: He will be a story we talked about. You have

95
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 3: to be in the playoff mix to be considered. Now

96
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 3: more teams are going to be considered, which means more players.

97
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 3: I think Gen d can play himself into New York

98
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 3: and I'm so excited to watch Himo it two more

99
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 3: quick hitters.

100
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: It kills me. The injury designations or lack thereof in

101
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: college we just saw in.

102
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 3: The NFL Christian but you were so pissed.

103
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I was furious that they held the Go

104
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: Lopez injury info from me. It totally ruined one of

105
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: my best bets of the entire week. I had it

106
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: tied up in so many parlays. Hopefully at some point

107
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: the schools can get together. There's no governing body, the

108
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: NCAA is powerless, but I do think there's a movement

109
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: conference by conference to start getting some NFL light. Injury

110
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: probability is questionable something on the books, because it's ridiculous

111
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: that something that critical can fly under the radar, and

112
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: I'm somebody who's plugged in. I'm following all the college

113
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: fantasy football beat writers as well. They were furious and

114
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: when they don't know and when they're blindsided, you really

115
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: know that they kept it under their vest. And then finally,

116
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: I just want to throw a quick shout out to

117
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: Cam Fancher. Cam, I hope you play as long as

118
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: Alan Bowman. I want you transferring after this year to

119
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: another program, dragging down another offense because the fa U

120
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: l's were a disaster against Army. My upsite pick last week,

121
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: and I'm not going to ruin my own you know

122
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: Thunder coming up, but I'm probably gonna fad him again

123
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,239
Speaker 1: this week. All right, let's get into the G five heroes.

124
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: Who did you have coming out of Week two?

125
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 3: We may have an issue if we get to that

126
00:05:41,000 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 3: segment that I'm going with. Brian Blade's cornerback for FIU.

127
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 3: I'm picking one so I don't cheat like I did

128
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 3: last year. But his pick six against Central Michigan was

129
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 3: one of five interceptions for this FIU Panthers defense, one

130
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 3: of the wildest stat differentials I've ever seen, where FIU

131
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 3: was outgained by sixty yards. And won by thirty six points.

132
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 3: I don't know that I've ever seen this team be

133
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 3: out gained and win by forty. So just shout out

134
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 3: to this FIU defense absolutely creating havoc. Brian Bladze with

135
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 3: the pick six, so I'm gonna go with him as

136
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 3: my G five here of the week. Calbarys, I assume

137
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 3: you're going with Brian Vincent, so take it away.

138
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: That is correct. I'm going with Brian Vincent. Also throw

139
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: out multiple game balls, maybe mini balls for the rest

140
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: of the ul Monroe coaching staff. A double digit underdog,

141
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: they stuffed Trent Dilfer and his smug face into a

142
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: locker second half shutout the checkdown merchant merchant Jacob zeno

143
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: qbr of twenty two point two. But here was really

144
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: the icing on the cake for me. Trent Dilfer's Monday presser,

145
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: after the facts down a little bit, he talks about

146
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: the road trip losing to the Warhawks. Do you know

147
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: what he highlighted as the only positive of the entire

148
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: road trip for UAB Logistics. They traveled efficiently, like it

149
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: was a corporate retreat, Like there was a bunch of

150
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: box lunches and plenty of options for vegans and people

151
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: with different allergies, and all the hotel key cards worked.

152
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: What are you talking about, Trent? Like you get paid

153
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: so much money. You stole this job from Brian Vincent.

154
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: He should be the rightful head coach of UAB. Even

155
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is like, man, you gotta call it. You

156
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: gotta step down. You're hurting your constituents too much. This

157
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: guy is ridiculous to go from last year where they

158
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: seemingly had a little momentum on offense and just their

159
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: defense has fallen apart. Their offensive line can't block anybody,

160
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: if they can't even complete the short passing game anymore.

161
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: He is a lame duck. He is going to be

162
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: out by the end of this year. And I'm thrilled.

163
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: This was the kind of game to get it done.

164
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: And I'm so proud of Monroe. They deserved it. They

165
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: deserve to win like this also a weird box score

166
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: as well. It's not like they were up huge numbers,

167
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: but they get it done in a laugher of a

168
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: game as a double digit dog. So Brian Vincent chief

169
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: fifer of the week.

170
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 3: I assumed because I know when he loses he likes

171
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 3: to call his wife ugly, so I assumed he was

172
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 3: going to say that the best part was he got

173
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,119
Speaker 3: away from his wife for a few days.

174
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: I mean, he did do a hit list of every

175
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: single person I think, like, you know, quality control, coach,

176
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: offensive line, quarterback, and he just said they stunk, We stunk.

177
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: He went down the whole line, so he made sure

178
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: to hit everybody on the on the way out of

179
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: that one. I would hope that you know, when we're criticized,

180
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 1: which we deserve all the criticism in the world, but

181
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: let's be fair with the criticism. We all stunk.

182
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 2: Trend stunk, mort stunk, the backstunk, the quarterback stunk, and

183
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 2: the offensive line stunk.

184
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: All right, let's get into best bets for Week three.

185
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: This is what people came for. I'm goin to get

186
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: started this week. I'm going to go with an over.

187
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: Gonna go over sixty nine and a half. North Texas

188
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: at Texas Tech. First off, kudos to the mean Green

189
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: two and zero for just the third time since ninety

190
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: nine before. This is a fun team. They're gonna be

191
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: in shootouts all year long, and their passing game just

192
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: looks fantastic now that they have Chandler Morris finally healthy.

193
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: He's slinging it around. He's got a really nice receiving core,

194
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: just aesthetically and visually a really fun team to go

195
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 1: ahead and watch. But a quick PSA real quick here.

196
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: There's been under epidemic going on in G five Land

197
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: through two weeks of the season, you know, two and

198
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: a half. If you sprinkle in some of those week

199
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: zero games, we are a hair below sixty percent on

200
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 1: unders cashing, and I think a big part of that

201
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: is a lot of these teams are shrinking games down,

202
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: they're using the running clock rules, they're trying to limit possessions.

203
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 1: Not these two teams, because when I saw sixty nine

204
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,599
Speaker 1: and a half, my numbers had at seventy six and

205
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: a half. So a touchdown differential here, and luckily in

206
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: this spot, it's all based on tempo. These are two

207
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: of the fastest offenses in the entire country. Tech snaps

208
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: at just under twenty one seconds per play, and North

209
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 1: Texas isn't far behind. Their numbers got thrown off a

210
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,599
Speaker 1: little bit because they played Abilene excuse me, Steven F.

211
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: Austin in their second game from the FCS ranks, So

212
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: that was a game, they didn't need to push down

213
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: the acceler but if you look at their first game

214
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: against South Alabama, they were really, you know, going forward,

215
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: pushing it into the red accelerators phase of their offense.

216
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: So I think we know what we're going to get

217
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 1: from that mean green offense. And they're also a live

218
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: underdog in this spot because Tech is just banged up

219
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: in such an incredible way to be entering week three.

220
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: They have nine players on the two deep who are

221
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: currently listed because they have an injury report. Kudos to

222
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: the big twelve as questionable, and that includes Todge Brooks,

223
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: their star running back. Now Tech through two weeks the

224
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: worst power forward defense in the entire country. They're giving

225
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: up four hundred and eighty four yards per game and

226
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: then included a game against an FCS opponent. So they

227
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: can't stop the run, they can't stop the pass, they

228
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: can't get to the quarterback, they can't do anything. And

229
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: North Texas defensively allowed Gio Lopez in the first game

230
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: of the season to say school record for passing yards.

231
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: So even if Brooks doesn't go, I think Morden's going

232
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 1: to be able to turn to the Skys and have

233
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: this be an old fashioned shootout. This is a game

234
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: that you know has pretty decent, like a little bit

235
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 1: of like rive Angle. In terms of the history of it.

236
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: North Texas actually beat them as an fcs A Division

237
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: one double A school back in the eighties, and I

238
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: think ever since. You know, this is one of those

239
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: small little brother looking up to big brother situations, and

240
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,719
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna have some fun juice in this game.

241
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go over sixty nine and a half.

242
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have North Texas written down as an over

243
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 3: team as well. I agree you know the text Attech

244
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 3: their front seven is an absolute disaster, so I agree

245
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 3: with you. I think I think the mean gre gonna

246
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 3: be able to move the ball. I think I want

247
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 3: Brooks to play. I think I would wait and see

248
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 3: if he's in. Like you said, you do get the

249
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 3: injury reports now, maybe find it. You know a beat

250
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 3: writer in Lovevick turns some Twitter notifications on or something,

251
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 3: see how he's practicing. But I think i'd want Brooks

252
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 3: to play. But I definitely don't hate it at all.

253
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 3: For my best bet, I am going with our beloved

254
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 3: Rainbow Warriors of Hawaii plus four and a half against

255
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 3: Sam Houston. Look, I was really high on Hawaii coming

256
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 3: into the season. They are the only Mountain West team

257
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 3: that I was high on if you remember correctly from

258
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 3: the preseason, I don't think I even mentioned another Mountain

259
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 3: West team other than Hawaii. And I really liked what

260
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 3: I've seen from the Rainber Warriors so far. You know,

261
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 3: they beat Delaware State pretty much with ease in a windstorm,

262
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 3: so you can't take too much from that. And then

263
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 3: they lost by three on a game winning field goal

264
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 3: against UCLA, a game that they played really well. The

265
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 3: new defense under a defensive coordinator at Dennis Thurman, has

266
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 3: looked awesome. They allowed just fourteen points and sixteen points

267
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 3: in their two games. They're allowing just four point nine

268
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 3: yards for play. The past defense has looked terrific, especially

269
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 3: which is you know that's Thurman specialty defense defensive backs

270
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 3: coach with the Jets. They're allowing just a completion percentage

271
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 3: of fifty three point seven this year. They picked off

272
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 3: Gabbers twice in that game. They've wrecked up ten PBUs

273
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,839
Speaker 3: in the back end, seventeen TFLs up front. So I

274
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 3: really like what I've seen. I just don't have a

275
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 3: ton of confidence in the Sam Houston offense. I know

276
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 3: you were on him last year. Last week, look, Hunter

277
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 3: Watson was like you know, we talked about him. He

278
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,599
Speaker 3: was like a surprise entrant to the Royal Rumble that

279
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 3: comes down the ramp, hot, crowds going nuts. He gets

280
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 3: the quick, quick gets the quick elimination. Crowds hot for him.

281
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 3: He's celebrated, and then the big show comes up behind

282
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 3: him and just tosses him out of the ring because

283
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 3: he looked lost against UCF. He threw two picks. He

284
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,959
Speaker 3: was benched in like the third quarter for Chase Bauer

285
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 3: and I don't know who's gonna start this game. Bower

286
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 3: looked better, so I assume that you honestly stick with him.

287
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 3: But they cannot run the ball at all. They averages

288
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 3: three point two yards per Kerry, which is actually an

289
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 3: improvement from the two point nine yards they average last year.

290
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 3: So eat him up.

291
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: Cats.

292
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 3: They're they're running a little better. But you know Hawaii

293
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 3: as a veteran quarterback, Bradon schagerback, he is stuck. Ashlock

294
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 3: is such a stud. He's put up over one hundred

295
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 3: yards and a touchdown against UCLA. They're still figuring out

296
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 3: their running back rotation a little bit, you know, landing

297
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 3: Simms back. They were working in Boston college transfer Cam

298
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 3: Barfield a lot more against UCLA and UCF just torched

299
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 3: the bear on the ground. They had six point seven

300
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 3: yards per Kerry six touchdowns, So you know, obviously Hawaii's

301
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 3: not gonna replicate that. But I think the rang of

302
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 3: Warriors certainly have a better offense than Sam Houston. The

303
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 3: defense has actually looked better so far this year. They're

304
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 3: coming off a bye, which is a big advantage, especially

305
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 3: since you know they're traveling to the mainland. I'll be honest,

306
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 3: I think why he's better team, so I think I

307
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 3: win this game. So I'm certainly going to take four

308
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 3: and a half points.

309
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: Go Warriors. We talked about it in the preseason. This

310
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: is the most fortuitous travel schedule for Hawaii to the

311
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: mainland in years. When you look at their entire schedule

312
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: this season in terms of when they're flying, the back

313
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: to backs, the kind of body blow theory, whatever you

314
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: want to get into, in terms of how their schedule

315
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: is laid out, it's ideal. And this is the spot

316
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: that I had circled as well. We needed to see

317
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: more on Sam Houston see where they were in terms

318
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: of their rebuild. Clearly it's it's difficult at this point

319
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: in the season. They looked great against Rice. UCF. Is

320
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: UCF a top four team in the Big twelve, because

321
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: if so, they should have, you know, pushed Sam Houston

322
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: into a locker, and they did. But if they're just

323
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: like a seven and five Power four team, then all

324
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: of a sudden win feels a little bit differently. But

325
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: if I did have to pick a side, I'd be

326
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: on the bows here. I think it's a little too

327
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: generous on the points spread.

346
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: with three of the five, So get a started.

347
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 2: The G five High five should be high five high five.

348
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 3: We're gonna getting shoved into a locker. Give me app

349
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 3: State minus two and a half against East Carolina. Though

350
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 3: this line is an overreaction to the overreaction. Everybody watched

351
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 3: Clemson just whoop app State, and they think Clemson sucks

352
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 3: A because Dad was an ass and B because clumbs

353
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 3: got whooped by Georgia. Everybody gets crushed by Georgia. Like

354
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 3: I bet Clemson's win total as soon as that game

355
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 3: was over because I knew it was an overreaction. And

356
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 3: think about two years ago when Georgia crushed Oregan, who

357
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 3: then went on to win ten games. Like comes into

358
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 3: a very good team. Georgia is just better. So I

359
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 3: haven't really changed my opinion on app State. If I'm

360
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 3: being honest, you know, they came into the season as

361
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 3: a favorite to win the sum Belt and nothing they've

362
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 3: done is changed that. I think Texas State's currently the

363
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 3: betting favorite. And you know, if you've upgraded Texas State, fine,

364
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 3: but I don't think anyone should have downgraded app They

365
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 3: still put up twenty points and five point two yards

366
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 3: to play against a very good Clemson defense. They averaged

367
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 3: five and a half yards per carry on the ground

368
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 3: with Andrew Castle and Kanye Roberts. Joey Aguilar is still

369
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 3: one of the best G five quarterbacks around. He has

370
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 3: five hundred and forty yards this year, three touchdowns, no picks,

371
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 3: three stud receivers. Yeah, the app State defense obviously got

372
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 3: torched by Clemson, but this East Caroline offense has ten

373
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 3: turnovers in two games. I'm sorry, but Jake Garcias stinks.

374
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 3: He is way ducarous with the football. He turns it

375
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 3: over like it's his job. The Pirates have not run

376
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 3: the ball well at all. The defense is still really

377
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 3: good and they were able to shut down Norfolk State

378
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 3: and Old Dominion, But I think this is a step

379
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 3: up in a weight class here. I mean, think about

380
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 3: just you know, the Monarchs closed one and a half

381
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 3: point favorites against ECU last week and now app State

382
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 3: is only two and a half point favorites. Like I know,

383
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 3: you know. The game was in Old Dominion versus you

384
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 3: know in Greenville, and I love Greenfield, but OLVI, the

385
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 3: vantage is not worth that much. So I think getting

386
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 3: under a field here is crazy. I would probably make

387
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 3: this line closer to six. Colin Wilson has app State

388
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 3: minus eight on a neutral field with his power rating,

389
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 3: So again, I love Greenville, but it is not worth

390
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 3: five and a half points. I think this is a

391
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 3: big overaction to cleansed in just stopping out and infer

392
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 3: your opponent. App State bounces back, I'll take him here underfield.

393
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: You go from a team that you feel like you

394
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: have your finger on the pulse of where they're at,

395
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: kind of buying low coming off of the loss. This

396
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: is team I've been very high on talking about Texas State,

397
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 1: the Bobcats. I got them at sixteen to one in

398
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 1: the preseason to make the College Football Playoff, and a

399
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: quick note I wrote it up in the New York Post.

400
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: It was eighty to one for NIU to make the

401
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: college Football Playoff. Before that upset of Notre Dame, they

402
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: were hanging for about thirty six hours, you know, fan

403
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: duel some other books eighty to one, so I went

404
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: in and grabbed it. It's still seventy five, sixty fifty

405
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 1: to one out in the market. That's just totally miss priced.

406
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: And by the way, NIU has another opportunity for a

407
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: Power five win or Power four win, I should say,

408
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: when they play NC State in a couple weeks, so

409
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: there's more opportunities for to even solidify themselves further in

410
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: terms of a playoff resume for the committee. But as

411
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: it relates to Texas State Arizona State coming in the

412
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 1: rare powerfour team going on the road for a midweek game,

413
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: it doesn't get better than this for the Bobcats to

414
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 1: be able to score a marquee victory. But I think

415
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: this game has shootout written all over it, a total

416
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: send at fifty nine. I was a little bit shocked

417
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 1: to see that they're coming off a forty nine to

418
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: ten whoopen of UTSA and their defense has improved, But

419
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: I think underneath the hood, this is still a little

420
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: bit closer to last year's Bobcats defense, and everything went

421
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: perfect against the road Runners. They got ahead early, UTSA

422
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: had to abandon the run, so they didn't really have

423
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: an opportunity. They only truly ran it twenty three times.

424
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: When you take out scrambles and sacks, that's not the

425
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: recipe to beat the Bobcats. Who has the recipe? By

426
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: the way, Arizona State and Cam scattabow he's coming off

427
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 1: a huge game against Missipi State two hundred and sixty

428
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: two yards on thirty three carries. He's going to run, run, run,

429
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: run into this Bobcat front, which then takes their opportunities

430
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: for havoc down. They had nine tackles for loss against

431
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: UTSA two takeaways, so I think in this game, Arizona

432
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: State knows exactly who they are. And by the way,

433
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: coming into the year, I think there was legitimate questions

434
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,719
Speaker 1: about where they were in terms of this rebuild. They

435
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: needed to replace four offensive linemen. Well, they looked beyond

436
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: great against the Bulldogs. Mississippi State three hundred and forty

437
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: six yards is a team on the ground six point

438
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: one yards per carry against an SEC defense. I think

439
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 1: that's going to translate in this spot. And when I

440
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: also look at Sam Love at their quarterback against Wyoming

441
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:30,959
Speaker 1: when they didn't need him to pass, he went fourteen

442
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,719
Speaker 1: for twenty two to fifty eight two scores. He's been

443
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 1: really dangerous with his legs. I think that's the added

444
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 1: element they get into some Reid stuff with him, some quarterback,

445
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: you know, iso some quarterback powers. When they get that

446
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,959
Speaker 1: extra hat on a hat in the trenches, I think

447
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: they're going to be able to move the ball consistently

448
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 1: and finish drives critically. Nothing kills an over like Settle

449
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: in for three inside of the red zone. I think

450
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: they're going to overpower Texas State. I think it's a

451
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: shootout and it's still a game that they can win,

452
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: but I don't think there's an avenue for them to

453
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 1: win in less It is high scoring, and they use

454
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 1: their tempo to try to mitigate some of their issues

455
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: in the trenches. And then finally, you know, despite it

456
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: being a night game in San Marcos, it's gonna be

457
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 1: ninety degrees at kickoff, So I think these defenses are

458
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 1: gonna wilt. I think there's gonna be a lot of

459
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: scoring in the second half. Give me over fifty nine.

460
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think honestly, last week was more about I

461
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 3: think yousa might be a disaster. I think that's more

462
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 3: their offense is a mess. I think that was more

463
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 3: of an indictment on them than it is necessarily the

464
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 3: Bob's defense. So I actually like that one a lot.

465
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 3: I will probably take that with you as well. Calburys Diego,

466
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 3: Diego time, gimme Vanderbilt minus ten against Georgia State. Look,

467
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 3: Vanderbilt is basically running a glorified triple option, and it

468
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 3: is the perfect scheme for a school like this, and

469
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 3: our boy Diego runs it perfectly. He is completing seventy

470
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 3: six percent of his passes nine point four yards for attempt,

471
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 3: super efficient. He's averaging seventy seven and a half rushing

472
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 3: yards per game. He is running this Reid option perfectly

473
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 3: with Cedric Alexander. It honestly reminds me a lot of

474
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 3: like the Grace and McCall Coastal offense, and I think

475
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 3: it just works really, really well. They are going to

476
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 3: run all over this Georgia State front. They ranked one

477
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 3: hundred and twelve in the country in stuff rate. The

478
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 3: Panthers defense was terrible last year, and so far they're

479
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 3: probably even worse this year. They allowed five hundred yards

480
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 3: and seven point eight yards per play to Georgia Tech,

481
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 3: who basically runs the same offense as Vanderbilt. Like we've

482
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 3: seen this game. Just go watch Georgia Tech. That's what

483
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 3: Vandy's gonna do. They also just allowed six yards per

484
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 3: play to chattan Neuga last week. Probably should have lost

485
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 3: that game. Chatton New got a chance to win it late.

486
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 3: You know, if you were worried about the hangover effect

487
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 3: from the big Virginia Tech upset, well, Vandy drummed out

488
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,959
Speaker 3: Corn State fifty five nothing last week, so I think

489
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 3: they'll be fine. They're weak removed now. Like I said,

490
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 3: Georgia Tech beat this Panthers team by twenty three points

491
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 3: and dominated them on offense. I expected George to run

492
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 3: the same game plan win this by double digits. I

493
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 3: don't think Georgia Tech and Bandy are all that different,

494
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 3: you know, power rating wise? Oh yeah, give me our bite.

495
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 3: Diego Diego against Georgie State. I think he's gonna run

496
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 3: all over this defense.

497
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: This is like the rom Com segment of our podcast.

498
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: You can't quit Diego, and for you know, if we're

499
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 1: being honest, I can't quit him either, but there's one

500
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 1: player that I'm truly in love with this season for

501
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: the opposite reason, because I want to fade him in

502
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: every spot that I can, and I mentioned him at

503
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: the top. Cam Fancher. I can't quit you, buddy, You

504
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: as a home favorite. You and your Fau Alice. You

505
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: lose outright to Army. You get dominated on both sides

506
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: of the ball. He threw it thirty seven times and

507
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: carried it four times, so he had the ball in

508
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: his hands with an opportunity to make plays over forty

509
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: times in that game. The end result two hundred and

510
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 1: three total yards, an interception, two turnovers, and four punts.

511
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: Excuse me, an interception, two turnovers on downs and four

512
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: punts in that game. The offense is awful. We know

513
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: what FAU is broken. There's nothing they can do with

514
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 1: Cam Fancher as the starting quarterback. And the big bigger

515
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: issue too, I know I want to keep heaping dirt

516
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: on this, but there's no Larry mccammons on this team.

517
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: There's no le Jont Westers. They're not walking through that door.

518
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put this very plainly. This team is dudeless.

519
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: They are dogless. They are a shell of what they

520
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 1: once were. You know, when you think back on the

521
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin offenses, this it wasn't even that long ago

522
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: that this offense was fun. This is one of the

523
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: least creative and boring and low ceiling offenses in the

524
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: entire country. And here comes FIU catching five and a half,

525
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: moving up I ninety five for a quick drive. Off

526
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 1: a fifty two point performance in a blowout win over

527
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: Central Michigan. They needed to get some wind in their sales.

528
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: I know that if this game was at Pitbull Stadium,

529
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: this would be bet at the Year kind of time.

530
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: But I think they're going to actually get a little

531
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: bit of fans up there into bok Ratan, and I

532
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: think there's a chance that this defense for FIU is

533
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: their very best in at least five years. So, you know,

534
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 1: picking off Joe Labis five times, six tech takeaways in total,

535
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: everything that they've done. When you pair it with Kewan Jenkins,

536
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: who expects to win because he was such a big

537
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 1: winner in high school, I can't turn down the five

538
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: and a half. I'm probably gonna sprinkle a little bit

539
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: on the money line here, but five and a half

540
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: to a lifeless FAU offense, who's feeling comfortable laying that.

541
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: Maybe you are, maybe you can, you know, play the

542
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 1: other side of this, but I certainly can't. I'm gonna

543
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,959
Speaker 1: fade Fancher until further notice.

544
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 3: No, actually, I'm gonna pass up the five and a

545
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 3: half and I'm gonna talk about him in our next segment.

546
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, then we'll why don't you close out

547
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: the G five high five here in week three?

548
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 3: So look, I had to bet on our you know,

549
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,479
Speaker 3: our birth son diego. Now I'm gonna fade our adopted

550
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 3: son here. I'm gonna take Washington minus four in the

551
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 3: Apple Cup over Washington State. I know we adopted the

552
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 3: the long lost packed Baelve Boys, but yeah, give me

553
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 3: Washington here. I think starters. Washington has won this game

554
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,479
Speaker 3: in nine of its last eleven years, and last year

555
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 3: was the first game that was actually within single digits

556
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 3: since twenty ten. So it's kind of hard to judge

557
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 3: these teams this year so far, especially Washington. They played

558
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 3: Weber State in Eastern Michigan beat them by a combined

559
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 3: score of sixty five to twelve, so it looked good.

560
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 3: Loiu Rodgers is completing seventy nine percent of his passes

561
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 3: this year, five touchdowns, no picks. I think he looks

562
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 3: much better suited for this pro style offense where you know,

563
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 3: he doesn't have to throw the ball fifty times a game.

564
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 3: And the new back in from Arizona with Jedfish, Jonah Coleman,

565
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 3: looks awesome. He's averaging one hundred and fifteen yards per game.

566
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 3: And I know this is an entirely new team, but

567
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 3: they're still very talent, like this Washington squad is still talented.

568
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 3: They're still I think more talented than Washington State. And

569
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 3: we saw the coaching job that Jedfish did at Arizona

570
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 3: last year. He is a very good coach. And an

571
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 3: Arizona team, by the way, that beat Washington State forty

572
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 3: four to six in Pullman. So they held the Cougars

573
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 3: to two hundred and thirty four total yards of offense,

574
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 3: and that was with cam Ward Coleman had three touchdowns

575
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 3: six and a half yards per carrying that game. And

576
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 3: John Mattier has looked finite quarterback for the Cougars, but

577
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 3: he is much more dangerous with his legs. He's kind

578
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 3: of one dimensional. And it's weird seeing Washington State average

579
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 3: thirty six rushing attempts per game. But you know we

580
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 3: mentioned it at the top. You mentioned it when you're picked.

581
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 3: Washington State looked great last week because Texas stack is

582
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 3: a joke, their star running back didn't play, and their

583
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 3: front seven is the mess. So I'm not putting a

584
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 3: ton of stock into that. And again, I think Washington

585
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 3: is the better team and they love to run it

586
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 3: up against the Cougars. I think Fish will want to

587
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 3: make a statement in his first Apple Cup game in Seattle.

588
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 3: Give me the Huskies minus four.

Speaker 1: All right, let's close things out with our underdog moneyline

609
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: parlay where I believe in our picks. The last two

610
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: weeks we went three and one. We hit it in

611
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: week one. We game very close last week. I know

612
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: I gave you some guff for going with Old Dominion,

613
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: but they were right there. I mean, that's a game

614
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: that absolutely could have won. Let's get it started with

615
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: your pick first, where I get a little bit spicier

616
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: than I've been in the first two weeks, like.

617
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 3: The Green Bay Power sweep. Baby, just keep running the

618
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 3: same damn play.

619
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: Give me FIU.

620
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 3: Let's keep on fade and Cam Fancher, you said a lot,

621
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 3: you know, the Fu offense just has not done anything.

622
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 3: They three point nine yards per play, two offensive touchdowns,

623
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 3: three turnovers, and the defense has also been bad. They're

624
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 3: allowing six yards per play. We talked about Army seven

625
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 3: point two yards to play rush for over four hundred yards.

626
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 3: The fi didn't do anything on offense against Indiana, sure,

627
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 3: but they averaged six point one yards to play against

628
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 3: Central Michigan last week. And as I mentioned with my hero,

629
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 3: they didn't do much in the total yards apartment because

630
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 3: they had six turnovers in short fields every drive. I

631
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 3: guess who loves to turn the ball over, FAU. They

632
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 3: still rush for five and a half yards per carry,

633
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 3: four scores with their three headed running back monster of Owens,

634
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 3: Lawrence and Joseph, And I think Florid Atlanta is just

635
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 3: going to continue to be a super high variants team

636
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 3: with Fan Trek quarterback, because sure, they're probably more talented

637
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 3: top to bottom than FIU, but he can easily lose.

638
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 3: They're probably closed, but he can move them this game.

639
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 3: He can move them a lot of games. In fact,

640
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 3: we might keep running this play because spoiler FAU goes

641
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 3: to stores next week against Yukon, who just beat Merrimack

642
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 3: by one hundred and then like two weeks from now.

643
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 3: They played North Texas in Boca. If God forbid you

644
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 3: hang North Texas as a dog there, guess what they're

645
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 3: going into parlay as well. So yeah, out you can

646
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 3: take the five and a half. I'll take the money line.

647
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 3: Give me the Panthers. Keep fade camp Bancher.

648
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: All right, Friday night gambling alert. So if you want

649
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: to get in this money line parlay, you gotta get

650
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: it in a day early, because I'm going UNLV plus

651
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: two to twenty on the money line over Kansas.

652
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 3: Thank you.

653
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: Let's get started on the Kansas side. This is not

654
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: the Kansas team of old under codal Nikki. By the way,

655
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: codal Niki, what he's done with Penn State's offense overnight,

656
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, drew Alers pumping the ball down field.

657
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: They got people wide open in space. He's a genius.

658
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: He's the reason why the Jayhawks were really you know,

659
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: feisty last year. Play whether it was there you know,

660
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: Daniels a quarterback where their backup, you know, and being

661
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: it didn't matter because his system won the day he

662
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: is gone. Jalen Daniels has already thrown four picks through

663
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: two games he clearly misses his play call or an

664
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator he's struggling with accuracy. Overall, the Kansas offenses

665
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: just looked sloppy. You know. It was something that gave

666
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 1: off the appearance of sophistication, but they ran their core

667
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: elements of their offense like a Swiss watch. That is

668
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: not them this year. That's how much the coaching change

669
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: has affected them. Four turnovers and a turnover on downs

670
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: in Illinois territory. That is the kind of thing where

671
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:40,959
Speaker 1: even if they start moving the ball and they hit

672
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: some plays, not finishing drives and fumbling the bag and

673
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: stubbing their toe in the opponent's side of the field,

674
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: that is a recipe to get upset. Now here comes

675
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: to revitalized UNLV defense. I talked about it with what

676
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: Catalog brings to their secondary. They dominated Houston on the road.

677
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: They were not afraid to play against the Power four team.

678
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: They should have shut out the Cougars in that game.

679
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: This is the same Houston team, by the way, that

680
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: bounces back against Oklahoma nearly upsets the Sooners in Norman.

681
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: So it wasn't like they beat a team that was

682
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: already you know, putting the White flag up and then

683
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: Sluka is exactly what I was hoping for and more.

684
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: He is a boomer Bus guy. In the passing game,

685
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: He's going to push the ball downfield. He's going to

686
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: take risks, and if you do not put a spy

687
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: on him, or if you try to, you know, play

688
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: too aggressively with slants or stunts. In the run game,

689
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna pull it. He's going to be out the

690
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: backside of that offensive line and he's going to get

691
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: a huge chunk running play in this game. And once

692
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: that goes, he's like one of those players that as

693
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: soon as he gets a little bit of confidence, it

694
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: just spreads across the entire offense. My only concern after

695
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: the first week is putting out an APB for their

696
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: wide receiver of their star. Please help me with his name,

697
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: Ricky White, Ricky White, Ricky White. I couldn't even remember

698
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: his name because he wasn't in the box score from

699
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: the first week. Well, here he is bouncing back five catches,

700
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: three touchdowns against Utah Tech, who you know, switched from

701
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: Dixie State. Pretty good rebranding for Utah, but they're awful.

702
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: It was just basically a glorified preseason game for them,

703
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: but getting White back involved in the passing game assures

704
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: me that SLUCA understands who the alpha dog is in

705
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:11,719
Speaker 1: that receiving room. Because he needs to have a big

706
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: game for them to upset Kansas on the road. I

707
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: think he's going to get it done. I also am

708
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: a huge believer. I've been saying it for years and

709
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: Brennan Marion he is going to get creative hojj Malik

710
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: Williams already had carries in the last game. I think

711
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: he had over sixty yards rushing. Jane Thomas hasn't even

712
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: really been used yet. He's a Ferrari just waiting in

713
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: the garage. You got to get him going. I think

714
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: this is the coming out party for the offense. SLUCA

715
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: needed a little confidence. They're brimming with it coming into

716
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: this game. I mentioned it in the preseasons. Why UNLV

717
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: over on their win total, I was so bullish. Why

718
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: I have them in the Mound West title game against Poise.

719
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 1: Why I bought them last week at twenty two to

720
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: one to make the College table playoffs. Still there at

721
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: fifteen to one, I still think that's a good value.

722
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: This team believes in themselves, and they had three powerful

723
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: opportunities Houston, Green check Mark, here comes Kansas and then

724
00:33:57,880 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: Syracuse in a few more weeks. They got to go

725
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: one in this stretch. I think they get this win

726
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: over the Jayhawks.

727
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 3: And it's not of moost weird games that it's gonna

728
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 3: be played in like a soccer field in Kansas City.

729
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 3: So certainly not much on vild advantage for the Jayhawks

730
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 3: in this one.

731
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 1: So do you like it? Are you putting the stample approval?

732
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: I mean both of us are in that. I think

733
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: you're close to two to one as well. This is

734
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: going to be quite the spicy payday if they go.

735
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 3: I don't like it. I actually bet Kansas. But I

736
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 3: think these two teams are very high variants, very boom

737
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 3: or bust, very gopher broke on both sides of the ball.

738
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 3: So I if I was going to play UNLV, I'd

739
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 3: rather take the money line than the points. So from

740
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 3: that aspect, I don't hate it, because, like you said,

741
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 3: I think Daniels especially is super talented. What has been

742
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 3: karas with the football? The new offense has not clicked

743
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,439
Speaker 3: the way the old offense does. I still love lance

744
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 3: lepold as a coach. I think they bounced back off

745
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 3: the Oldinois loss, but I think this is one of

746
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 3: those games where Kansas, if they click, they win by ten.

747
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 3: If Daniels's carols with the ball in UNLB hit big plays,

748
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 3: you know, Dan, you and LV wins the game. So

749
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,919
Speaker 3: I did bet Kansas on the spread, but I don't

750
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 3: hate the money on Play on You.

751
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,520
