1
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, a lot of nervous energy. We are here,

2
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: We are here, kickoff is here. I can't stress enough

3
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: how important these final twenty four to forty eight hours

4
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: of your lives are. There are things that you need

5
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: to get in order. There are people you need to

6
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: tell I love you. There are folks you need to

7
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: get some FaceTime with, because it's gonna be January. If

8
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: you're like most of us, it's gonna be like January

9
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 1: until your head really pops up. Maybe a token appearance

10
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: for Thanksgiving, perhaps a card in the mail for Christmas.

11
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: But it's go time. It is go time.

12
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: We're jam packed high atop a scorching downtown Nashville, Tennessee,

13
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: Colin and Jesse.

14
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 2: One o two. We hit a high of one oh

15
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 2: two downtown today.

16
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 1: Dry heat though dry heat, believe it or not, even

17
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: in the Southeast this time of year. I have big

18
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: concerns for some of your teams. We don't play this week.

19
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: Pete State's off this week, but I have upset concerns.

20
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: Mem While used to always say, you know, an upset

21
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: tummy comes and goes, but an upset in football game

22
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 1: can last a lifetime. And I think some folks are

23
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: on thin ice with hot blades, even some double digit

24
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: favorites this weekend, and I am going to share my opinion.

25
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sprinkle in the model's opinion. We got to

26
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: be careful. It's a treacherous, treacherous road navigating through week one.

27
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: We've got the lsu USC breakdown in prediction tonight. The

28
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: sec on ABC theme music has been released and best

29
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: I can tell you, guys not so surprisingly are not

30
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: happy with it.

31
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 3: All that.

32
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: Plus we've got added best bets on the Ramanudle Express.

33
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: ESPN corporate shill Cole Kublick will join the show later tonight.

34
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: Well maybe we'll push him up against the wall and

35
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: see what he thinks about the music. He's probably not

36
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: allow to talk about it, but he's allowed to talk

37
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: about a lot of other things. The live chat should

38
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: be very lively because I am going to just slat out,

39
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: open up the live chat and cublic and I will

40
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: ramble on aimlessly, probably until about the top of the hour.

41
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: We started early tonight because Rominil Express is on Colorado

42
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: minus the Points tonight. They're watching us in Charlotte, North Carolina, Georgetown, Texas,

43
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: New York City and Bayman at Alabama, or as they

44
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: call it, the New York City of the Mobile area

45
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: is tuned in tonight at Lake Kick Josh. I'm gonna

46
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: be on the field in Gainesville this Saturday. All year,

47
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: we will be at the biggest games in the country.

48
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: I will bring you the kind of access that only

49
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: the eye Josh can bring you. And you won't see

50
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: it if you're not following. And you also won't see

51
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: Friday night lines tomorrow night if you're not following at

52
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: late kick, Josh, get over there. Okay, let's talk about it.

53
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: Let's dive in every Thursday night. We've already predicted the

54
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 1: big games. Colin, here's a good endpoint for you. We've

55
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: already predicted big games. So those breakdowns are on the

56
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: channel right now. But some big time upset alerts I

57
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: think still linger across the college football Week one slate.

58
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: So the way we like to do this with these

59
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: double digit point spreads is I'd just like to give

60
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: you a concern level. We're not outright picking the upsets.

61
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: I'm giving you a concern level. And I'm telling you

62
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 1: right here in our backyard in Nashville, Tennessee, Van d

63
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: is sneaking around. Virginia Tech's coming into town. Favored by

64
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: thirteen and a half right now over at FanDuel and

65
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: is the hype warranted? I've contributed to that with Virginia Tech.

66
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: Is the hype warranted. You cannot overlook them. Virginia Tech's

67
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: not in a place as a program that they get

68
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: to look past an opener like this and they get

69
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: to look down the road. All due respect, Bama's looking

70
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: down the road. BAMA fans are looking past Western Kentucky.

71
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech's not there yet, and they're going on the road.

72
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: And I know it's Vandy, but you're still going into

73
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: a place where there are some sec caliber athletes on

74
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: this roster.

75
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 2: The model likes Vandy.

76
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: We have already made Vandy plus thirteen and a half

77
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: a Ramannudle Express best bad. But if you don't care

78
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: about that, might I interest you in the fact that

79
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: Jerry Kill is on this staff now you remember him

80
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: and if you don't research him, But also just the

81
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: effect that Jerry Kill has had on teams in the past,

82
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: and also a lot of the movement that happened on

83
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: this Van Bolt roster.

84
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 2: Sneaky good additions.

85
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: Tim Beck, the other Tim back, the one that was

86
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: the OC at New Mexico State last year. Before that,

87
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: he was a D two head coach for a decade

88
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: and they picked him up and Clark Lee made him

89
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator. But he brought a couple of quarterbacks

90
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: with him, brought a running back with him, brought a

91
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: tight end with him. So there are pieces from a

92
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: pretty effective offense out at New Mexico State. They do

93
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: some different stuff that they brought over, so it's not

94
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: totally starting from scratch.

95
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: It's a home situation for Vanderbilt.

96
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: And if we look in our model here and we've

97
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: got all the coaches graded, there is a really interesting,

98
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,119
Speaker 1: sneaky sort of coaching edge for Vandy in this game.

99
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: When you look at the totality of staff OCDC total staff,

100
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: there's a slight edge to Vandy in the overall coaching grade.

101
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: So they're getting thirteen and a half at home. I

102
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: think this one could be closer than even the FanDuel

103
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: experts thing. Next up, I'm not as concerned about this one,

104
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: by the way. The previous one is a solid eight

105
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: on my concern meter. Nex one's a four only because

106
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,239
Speaker 1: I have no idea who's starting at quarterback from Michigan.

107
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: Michigan's playing Fresno in the Big House. Ever since the

108
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: app State game, every Michigan home opener, everyone talks about

109
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 1: the app State game from like twenty years ago at

110
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 1: this point has nothing to do with anything, but people

111
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: still harken back to it.

112
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 2: And you know how rarely I use that word.

113
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: However, I'm uneasy here because we've heard the talk out

114
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: of camp up at Michigan about the quarterback position, and everyone,

115
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: myself included, we just assumed Alex or Ge will eventually

116
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 1: lock down that starting spot over Davis Warren, and he hasn't.

117
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: He hasn't locked down the starting spot. As recently as today,

118
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: you can find people around Michigan that tell you, I

119
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,239
Speaker 1: think Davis Warren may start Saturday. Even if he doesn't,

120
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: we think we may see.

121
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: Both of them play. And here's the problem. I always

122
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 2: hate that.

123
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: I always hate it because when you talk like that,

124
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: you're talking as if you can afford to do it

125
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: in a game like this. Well, Michigan's favored by twenty

126
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: and a half in this game over at FanDuel right now,

127
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: so there is separation obviously between the University of Michigan

128
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: and Fresno State, but Fresno, and I don't want you

129
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: to scoff at this because I'm trying to give you

130
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: the profile of the team. Fresno went on the road

131
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: and beat Perdue last year. Fresno beat Arizona State last year.

132
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: These are not teams that are comparable to Michigan. I'm

133
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: not suggesting they are, but they're a step up perceptionally

134
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: in competition. And mikey Kean, who stole the quarterback there

135
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,239
Speaker 1: by the way, averaged a little over three hundred yards

136
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: and three touchdowns in those two games. So they rose

137
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: to the moment last year and now lost Tedford. So

138
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: you never know what kind of galvanizing effect that has,

139
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: just from a psychological perspective for the roster as well.

140
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: Now having said that, Michigan still got the defense Michigan's got,

141
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: so this is the kind of game where they're favored

142
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: by twenty and a half, they could score twenty nine

143
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: and win the game. You know, twenty nine to six

144
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,679
Speaker 1: is still good for a cover there. So I don't

145
00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: have immense concern about the outright upset potential. I have

146
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: mild concern because even the offensive line. I'll probably talk

147
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: to Kublic about this later.

148
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 2: When we bring them on.

149
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: Even the offensive line, there's just a blind assumption it's Michigan.

150
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: They'll be good on the offensive line. Oh okay, Well

151
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: I don't need them to be good. I need them

152
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: to be better than that. Good is tennamount to average

153
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: in my own personal mind, Michigan's got to be better

154
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: than good on the offensive line. They've been mixing and

155
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: matching this week. Good, good options, but still mixing and matching.

156
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: So a four on the upset concern meter for me. There,

157
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: I got one that's way off the radar. I'm about

158
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: to hit you with a few of them. They're a

159
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: way off the radar. But I'm telling you got to

160
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: go deep on week one. You can't just be paying

161
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: attention to the main events. Do you know who Florida

162
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: Atlantic plays this weekend? Do you know who the head

163
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: coach at Florida Atlantic is? Little side tests there they're

164
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: playing Michigan State. The head coach at Florida Atlantic is

165
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: one Thomas Herman Street named Tom used to be the

166
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: head coach at Texas. We've got Aiden Childs, eighteen years old,

167
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: making us first start at quarterback for Michigan State. Jonathan

168
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: Smith brought him over from Oregon State. The whole new

169
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: staff in place, a lot of the roster is new,

170
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: and so there's so much newness on this Michigan State staff,

171
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: this Michigan State team, and you've got a coaching staff

172
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: I believe very much that has the long game in mind.

173
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: Not that they don't want to win this year, but

174
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: they haven't come in like Mike Elko has at A

175
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: and m looked around and said, oh, we could win

176
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: this year. And so the attitude, although I don't want

177
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: you to misunderstand me, the attitude is not we're mailing

178
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: a season in. The attitude is let's do what we

179
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,599
Speaker 1: can do this season, but our best is probably a

180
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: couple of years down the road. Florida Atlantic, as I said,

181
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: is led by Tom Herman. The reason I mentioned that

182
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: is because while you may not think Tom Herman has

183
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: another big go around as a major college football head

184
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: coach in his future, he probably does feel that way.

185
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: And guys like that look at situations like this. If

186
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 1: you're the head coach of Florida Atlantic, you don't get

187
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 1: many of them. You don't get to coach against the

188
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: big boys, and this is a prime opportunity for him

189
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: because he's probably got a sneaky little advantage with his

190
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: skill guys out wide on the perimeter. I think that

191
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: also he went and grabbed Marshall's quarterback to go along

192
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: with that perimeter skill talent he has. I think this

193
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: is a huge chance for him. And they are catching

194
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: thirteen and a half right now. FAU I think will

195
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: hang around with Michigan State. I have an eight on

196
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: the concern meter there. Love Jonathan Smith long term, love

197
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: him long term. Could be shaky out of the gate.

198
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: Now here's one that the model's picking up on. Actually

199
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: part of the models picking up on it. I don't

200
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: buy into it. So TCU goes to Stanford TCU right now,

201
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: actually keep that up calling immunity. So before I talk

202
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: about that one, UCLA is at Hawaii. UCLA is fair

203
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: by fourteen and a half. Hawaii already played a game.

204
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: As you know, we got a first time head coach

205
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: out at UCLA, got a the first time college football

206
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. Eric Vetnam's been around the NFL forever. Really

207
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: pass happy in the NFL. The most pass happy of

208
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: play callers in the NFL. He's now the UCLA offensive coordinator.

209
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: They're going out there and they got hit by the

210
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: portal hard, specifically UCLA pass rush UCLA secondary. Of course

211
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: you lost de Anton lenn Acrosstown to USC. Hawaii's one

212
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: to zero already and UCLA's rolling in there and they're

213
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: laying fourteen and a half. I got mild concern about this,

214
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: A lot shaky, a lot unknown because it can't be

215
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: known about UCLA. So I got a six on that one.

216
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: Now back to the other one I was talking about.

217
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 1: So TCU is at Stanford TCUs lay in nine and

218
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: a half. I've got to be honest with you. I

219
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: love TCU in this game. I would be betting TCU

220
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 1: in this game. I would put him on the Ramannudle

221
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: Express if the model over here would cooperate. But it won't,

222
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: and the model is built to be a fail safe

223
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: in situations like this. TCU secondary has been fairly so suspect.

224
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: So has Stanford's Stanford The reason why the model is

225
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: pegging this game. What if I told you Stanford has

226
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: an overall staff coaching advantage here. I wouldn't think that.

227
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: But then again, that's why I removed myself from this

228
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: equation because my gut really doesn't matter. Guts built Las Vegas.

229
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: So we're going on cold hard data over here. Stanford

230
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: figures to be fairly significantly deeper overtime this year at

231
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: wide receiver tied end. Kind of a one man show

232
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 1: last year. He was a really good one, but kind

233
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: of a one man show last year. They will have

234
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: freshmen everywhere. They got like nine or ten freshmen on

235
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: the two deep right now all over the place. It's

236
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: probably a higher number than that, so ton of unknown.

237
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: That's why I certainly would never buy into Stanford here.

238
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: But there is a surprise coaching edge and edge Stanford

239
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: and Sunny Dyke's beneath him on that on that Coaching

240
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: Org chart there, It's just it's not a not a

241
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 1: lot of guys with a bunch of bright green arrows

242
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: next to him. I don't know, because because the same

243
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: model that's telling me that tells me that TCU is

244
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: one of the most sneaky teams in the Big twelve.

245
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 2: So I got a personal concern level.

246
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: Of five there. I think TCU is going to get

247
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: the job done. The model disagrees to a certain extent,

248
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: and then another one that's way off the radar, but

249
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: I am giving serious consideration too.

250
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 2: Ohio is it Syracuse?

251
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: Syracuse is thought to be a sleeper, sort of contending

252
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: type team in the ACC because they have a really,

253
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: really soft schedule. Dino Babers got fired there, Fran Brown

254
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 1: got brought in. It's interesting how the public perceived that.

255
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 1: The public looked at Dino Babers and said he's got

256
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 1: to go. The model looks at Dino Babers and sees

257
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: that he was three wins above roster expectancy. So it'll

258
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: take your roster, and what should we expect out of

259
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: this roster in terms of wins? Dino like three wins

260
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: north of that. So the model thought it was crazy

261
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: that he got fired. But models don't run athletic departments.

262
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 2: Ads do.

263
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: A new head coach who is never staffed in his

264
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: life has come in, could be great at it, but

265
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: we have no idea and they are lay what are

266
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: they laying here? Seventeen and a half to Ohio. Tim

267
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: Alban since he's taken over at Ohio has been equal

268
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 1: to or actually I think in every case so far

269
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: he's been above expectancy relative to talent and schedule at Ohio,

270
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: so they continue to punch above their weight. This is

271
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 1: actually a game that I'm going to add right now

272
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: to the ram Noodle Express because I don't want this

273
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: line moving.

274
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 2: So it's gotten north of seventeen. That's where we like it.

275
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 1: We're adding Ohio plus seventeen and a half to the

276
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: ram Ma Noodle Express. As I have told you, best

277
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 1: bets could come at any point in this show. Sometimes

278
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: they don't come in the show. They could come on

279
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: Friday Night lines, which we'll do on Instagram live tomorrow

280
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 1: night at Lake Kick Josh.

281
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 2: Make sure you're following. But there you go, Colin.

282
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: I think that's our fifth best bet of the week,

283
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: and I've got I've probably got maybe a little hint

284
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: at another one before we go off the air, but

285
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: certainly i'll add some more tomorrow night.

286
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 2: Make sure you're watching at Lake Kick Josh. So there

287
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 2: you go.

288
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: Upset concern on that one, by the way, A solid seven,

289
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: solid seven, and that's for a seventeen and a half

290
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: point favorite. By the way, I have concerns about that one.

291
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: Kyle McCord new quarterback up there, I got it. I

292
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: know the talking points. There's a lot of unknown too

293
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: much unknown to me to be laying that many points.

294
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: We are headed to Gainesville, Florida. I'll fly down there tomorrow.

295
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: We're looking very much forward to the whole new Saturday

296
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: to Hords kicking off in week one with Miami at Florida.

297
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: Will be on the sidelines for this one could be

298
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: one of the most physically uncomfortable games we've been at

299
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: since A and M went to Clemson a few years back.

300
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 2: That one was horrifically hot.

301
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: This one figures to be not only pressure packed, but

302
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: it'll just be It be gross feeling. Even if two

303
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: safe coaches were in this thing, it'll be gross feeling.

304
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 2: But we will be there.

305
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: It's fueled by Quick Trip Quick Trip making free gas possible.

306
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: They're making our entire tour possible. We appreciate them so much.

307
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: My advice, download the app, the quick Trip app. Even if,

308
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: even if there is nothing else that you take away

309
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: from this, you could flat out be saving money already.

310
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: But above and beyond that, remember the call, guys, remember

311
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: the call. I know some of you are in college station.

312
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: You'll be at game day. I know some of you

313
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: will be elsewhere. If you find a way to get

314
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: quick trip and payt state, public notoriety. Don't care how

315
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: you do it, as long as it's legal. Hoops, dem

316
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: I to tell you not to break the law. Actually,

317
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: but if you get us public notoriety and don't get

318
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: us in trouble, it could be some free gas coming

319
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: your way. All right, let's roll on. I have in

320
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: my hand kind of a standalone game. This game.

321
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 2: This week's always weird.

322
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: This week one is always weird because we have some

323
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: Thursday night games that kick off at weird times, thus

324
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: our early start time.

325
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 2: Tonight.

326
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: We have a Sunday night game, which is the one

327
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: I'm about to talk about. Then we have Labor Day

328
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: night games, and so there's a lot going on. So

329
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: here we go LSU versus USC Sunday night in Las Vegas.

330
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: Why play in Tiger Stadium or the Coliseum when we

331
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: can play in checks Notes Allegiance Stadium. But I don't

332
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: make the decisions here. It is what it is, LSU.

333
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: This numbers come down at FanDuel. It's now LSU minus

334
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: four and a half. Really striking similarity. As these two

335
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: sort of face each other sort of a look in

336
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,239
Speaker 1: the mirror. You're both replacing former heisman Trophy winning quarterbacks.

337
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: You both overhauled your defensive staffs totally. Both quarterbacks stuck

338
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: around you think about this, Miller Moss finally gets the

339
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: start at USC, Garrettnssmeyer finally gets the start at LSU.

340
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: These were Class of twenty twenty one four stars and

341
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: they didn't leave. So if you're looking for an angle

342
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: to celebrate in this game, how about celebrating that these

343
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: are bygone era type vibes that are being given off

344
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: by the quarterbacks in this thing. So I think a

345
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: lot of folks, myself included, have the focus on LSU's

346
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: offensive line. We are told at nauseum out of Baton Rouge,

347
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: this will be one of the best units in the country.

348
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 2: It's the strength of the team. I don't doubt that.

349
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: On the other side, we have USC's defensive front, a crushing,

350
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: crippling weakness of that team last year one that they've

351
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 1: invested a lot of energy and a lot of manpower

352
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: and a lot of transfer portal power in overhauling. How

353
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: different is it, because out of all the other stuff

354
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about here in the next few minutes,

355
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 1: this is the part you cannot hide. If there's a

356
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: glaring mismatch for LSU's offensive line against that defensive front.

357
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: It'll be there all night. I mean, remember the Georgia

358
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 1: Tech game against Florida State the other day. Didn't take

359
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: you long to realize, uh oh, things are not as

360
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 1: they seem here. And so there's a lot of confidence

361
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 1: internally at USC. They've turned a little bit of a corner.

362
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: Not in route to being like a top twenty defensive

363
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,959
Speaker 1: front this year or anything, but certainly miles better than

364
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: they were last year. And part of that's bringing over

365
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: that defensive staff. And they these two upgraded as good

366
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: as any two programs upgraded defensive staff wise in the country,

367
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 1: talking about this way back in spring. But those guys

368
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: don't play on the field. The players play on the field.

369
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: So if USC is upgraded there and they think they are,

370
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: I've talked to a couple of folks who have been

371
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 1: around practice out there in the past week I'm talking

372
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 1: about over on the NFL side that they flat out

373
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: said USC looks a little better than I thought that

374
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: look on defense, they just looked a little better. It's

375
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: not eighty five Bears. They just look a little better.

376
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: So part one is in the immediacy. Does USC's front

377
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,719
Speaker 1: withstand the initial test? Okay, Part two is do they

378
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: withstand the four quarter test? Because LSU is not going

379
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 1: to probe and gauge how things going to run game

380
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 1: and if they're not immediately peeling off six point five

381
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: yards per carry abandon the run, you'll have to deal

382
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: with it all night. Do you stand up? Do you

383
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: have that depth? I'm not sure that they do, but

384
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: we'll see. But since I'm not sure they do, what's

385
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: the key? If USC is gonna pull an upset here,

386
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: what's the key? The key is, of course, they have

387
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 1: to exploit the LSU secondary. The reason I think this

388
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,959
Speaker 1: one could go sideways for either team and it wouldn't

389
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 1: shock me is cause if you just get leaned on

390
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: all night, the totality of that is you lose, you know,

391
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: thirty eight to seventeen and they just ran the ball

392
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: for half a mile on you. But there's this other

393
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: world where you've got the most premiere, underrated wide receiver

394
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: room in the country at USC, they got studs in there.

395
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 1: One guy does not have to take this game over.

396
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: I was talking with Jesse early tonight and he said,

397
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: which one of these guys do you think could take

398
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: the game over. Well, they got a couple of them,

399
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: but they don't have to have one take it over

400
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: because they got several that can do that. And so

401
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley's gonna find mismatches. Lincoln Riley, for all the

402
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: faults you could throw at him, play calling and specifically

403
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: getting the most out of a quarterback, finding those mismatches,

404
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: that's not one of them. So there's another world where

405
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: instead of LSU leaning on USC, USC's up fourteen to

406
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 1: nothing before the end of the first quarter, and you

407
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: have found those miss matches, and we all of a

408
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 1: sudden get punched in the face and realize, oh, this

409
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: LSU secondary is kind of more of the same from

410
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: last year. Well, guess what you don't do when you're

411
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 1: down two scores. You don't run the ball to get

412
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 1: back in the game. So if you can do that,

413
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: it's not that I sit here and have tons of

414
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 1: doubts about Garrett Nussmeyer, But you're much better shot than

415
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: stopping LSU's run is having them play into the strength

416
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: of your defense, because relatively speaking, the strength of USC's

417
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: defense as their secondary. And I'm gonna repeat this one

418
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 1: more time. I think turnovers have been a little bit

419
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: of an issue for NUS Meyern fall camp.

420
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 2: I haven't heard that spoken.

421
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: About a whole lot, but I think it's been a

422
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: little bit of an issue. It may be totally cleaned

423
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: up find out. You have to get ahead to make

424
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: them play catch up to find out if.

425
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 2: That's the case.

426
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: And also above and beyond the matchups in the personnel here,

427
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: just which team flipped the switch mentally. These were two

428
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: soft teams mentally defensively last year, and USC and Riley's

429
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: teams have been that way for a long time. Brian

430
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 1: Kelly's teams haven't always been that. LSU certainly hadn't always

431
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: been that and have no excuse to be that. USC. Yeah,

432
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: they get to go up against SEC athletes LSU's DB's,

433
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: they are gonna get tested physically. The competitive character over

434
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball. Just the competitive character.

435
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: What in there last year? The ability to tackle? How

436
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: about yards after contact in the secondary for LSU? How

437
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: about yards after contact up front defending LSU's run.

438
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 2: That sort of stuff.

439
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: I got no way to know what to expect on

440
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: that front. This is to me, out of all these

441
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: big games in week one. It's by far the most unpredictable.

442
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: So Colin, let's take a look at what the model thinks.

443
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 1: So we got LSU minus four and a half over

444
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: at FanDuel, the model has LSU minus five. So we've

445
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 1: pretty much agreed with the number. But I don't I don't.

446
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: I actually think USC is gonna win this game out right.

447
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: So it's mild upset I would call it, but it

448
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: would be a definer for Lincoln Riley if he were

449
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: to pull that off. Riley versus LSU's defense is something

450
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: I've been thinking about for a while, But Joe Sloane

451
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: versus Deonton Lynn is something I've also been thinking about

452
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 1: for a while, and somehow, some way void of elite personnel. Defensively,

453
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: I still think that coaching staff at USC is going

454
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: to figure out enough of a way to give themselves

455
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: a balanced shot at winning this thing, and I think

456
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 1: they'll find a way.

457
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 2: To win it.

458
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 1: I do not a ton of confidence, but think they'll

459
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: find a way to win it. We got off the

460
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: phone with Academy Sports and Outdoors today and do you

461
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: know what happened?

462
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 2: Jesse and Colin. We got off the phone with them today.

463
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 1: And We were very happy. We were all very happy.

464
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 1: There was applause all around. And it's not just because

465
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 1: they sent us a grill, nor did they send us

466
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: a canopy, nor did they send us a cornhole set,

467
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 1: nor did they send us any of that, all of

468
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: which they could because it's all available Academy Sports and Outdoors. No, no, no,

469
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: Academy just came back as our presenting sponsor for the season,

470
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: the entire show, so there was there.

471
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 2: Was applause all around.

472
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: This is an alcohol free environment, but I'm pretty sure

473
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: I heard champagne pop, so I mean Sunday night and

474
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: then moving forward the entirety of the season, Academy Locked

475
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: and Loaded Josh Pay's College Football Show presented by Academy

476
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: Sports and Outdoors. They've been with us from the beginning.

477
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 1: They believed in the show before the show was what

478
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: it is now. We always appreciate that a lot of

479
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: you are going to be tailgating this weekend, a lot

480
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: of you will be tailgating throughout the season. A lot

481
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: of you have kids playing sports. A lot of you

482
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 1: is flat out and need new shirts.

483
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 2: I should know.

484
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors is where you can find it all.

485
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: I mean, find it all, and I will make you

486
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: a personal guarantee. You go in there and you buy that,

487
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 1: and you showed up for that, and then all of

488
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 1: a sudden you see seven things that you didn't know

489
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: they carried. And if you don't have one right there

490
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: in your backyard, you've got the Internet. I know you do,

491
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: or you wouldn't be watching the show. Academy dot Com.

492
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: They've got us taken care of they will take care

493
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: of you as well. They're watching us in Stuart, Florida,

494
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 1: Huntington Beach, California, and Maple Grove, Minnesota. I've got Cole

495
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: Kublick joining me shortly. I'm looking at the live chat

496
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: over here now, not yet because I got to talk

497
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 1: about one more thing. But right Ryan, Ryan, brother, you

498
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: would be too, I promise you you would be too.

499
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 2: So I've got one more thing to talk about.

500
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 1: But then I will be looking over here at this

501
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: live chat because when I bring kublic in. He and

502
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: I were on the phone the other day and we said,

503
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: we're doing cold cuts on Thursday. Yeah, well, how do

504
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: we want that to go? Why don't we just ride

505
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: the live chat?

506
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:31,479
Speaker 2: There you go?

507
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,199
Speaker 1: So if you ever want to trash cublic. I get

508
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: to do it every day because I got his number.

509
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: You don't. This is your shot and I will not

510
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: stand in your way. But before that happens.

511
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 2: Big day to day.

512
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: This afternoon, earlier this morning, actually the SEC on ABC

513
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: theme music got released. Now, the SEC on CBS was

514
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: an institution, but now the SEC is exclusively partnered with

515
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: ESPN and ABC, So you had to have new theme music, right,

516
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: So this got released this morning.

517
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 2: Now it would it would not be right.

518
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: It would not be ethical of me to talk about

519
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 1: this without letting you hear it. So as soon as

520
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 1: those games come on the air, you used to hear

521
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: one thing that you will not hear anymore, but you

522
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: will hear this.

523
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 2: Roll it, Colin.

524
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 1: First takeaways. Not terrible, not terrible. Some of you complain

525
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: when the sun comes up in the morning because it's late.

526
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: It's not terrible. It's not the worst thing.

527
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 2: That we've ever heard. So let me at least tell

528
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 2: you I'm not on the ledge with this.

529
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: However, there is a great conflict in the world of

530
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: college football theme making. There's a great conflict the people

531
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: who do this stuff for the best in the world.

532
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: I mean ESPN's got the best in the world doing

533
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: what they do, and the problem is they're the best

534
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: in the world at doing.

535
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 2: What they do well.

536
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 1: That sounds hypocritical, Josh, what are you talking about. I

537
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,719
Speaker 1: mean this, the best in the world at design, the

538
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:37,679
Speaker 1: best in the world in the creative lane are the

539
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: best because they understand how to innovate. They understand how

540
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: to create and how to debut and how to peel

541
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: the layers back and how to bring forth new creation

542
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: that wasn't there before. And that is the antithesis of

543
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: what college football themes should be. I should have I

544
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 1: should have nostalgia, smacking in the face tradition and the

545
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 1: feel of it should drip off of a college football theme.

546
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: So what they did here is they went back in time.

547
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: I got to give them credit. They had the right idea,

548
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: Their heart's in the right place. They went back in

549
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: time and they took what I believe is either the

550
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,919
Speaker 1: ESPN or ABC college football theme from the early two

551
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: thousands kind of.

552
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 2: But then they local newsed it up. They sort of.

553
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: Synthesized it, you know, because if you got that creative gene,

554
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 1: it is it is not in your nature to pluck

555
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 1: something from the past. And use it because by the

556
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:42,199
Speaker 1: very definition of your creative gene, something that was cannot

557
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: be the future as well. That is, of course not

558
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 1: the case. There are some things that were perfectly fine

559
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: in the past. I would argue little shark bites, those

560
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: fruit gummies from the nineties should never have been scrapped.

561
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 2: I mean, we're in the.

562
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: World as Count Jocula. We never should have done away

563
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: with some of these things, but we did. They've done

564
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: away with some great college football themes, and we kind

565
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: of brought one back here, but we just had to

566
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 1: add a little local news flavor in it. We had

567
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,479
Speaker 1: to synthesize it a little bit. I don't know what

568
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 1: the process is up there creatively, and I got.

569
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 2: A ton of respect for these folks. They know what

570
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 2: they're doing.

571
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: I would never know where to start on this sort

572
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 1: of thing, but I know when it sounds good, and well,

573
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: I know when it sounds great, and this just sounded kind.

574
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 2: Of good to me.

575
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: It's the SEC on ABC, so it should wow me,

576
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 1: it should floor me, and instead I just kind of went, oh, Okay, well,

577
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: I guess that's what we're rolling with them now. Like

578
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 1: I said, I don't know what the process is it

579
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: really surprises me. If they don't do this, it really

580
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: surprises me. They don't crowdsource this. You shouldn't really overthink

581
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: the room. I mean, you are playing to appease your audience.

582
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: Why not seek audience input? I do it all the time.

583
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: I mean, we're about to name our tour this fall.

584
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: I in the spring, I go ask the audience what

585
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: they want. It's full proof because they'll tell you, they'll

586
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: be straight with you. How do you not just develop

587
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: three themes in house and let the public debate it?

588
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 2: Just have at it. That's how I would have called

589
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 2: the shop.

590
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: The SEC on CBS will never be topped that theme

591
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: music is like trying to outlive Methuselah. You will never

592
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: top the SEC on CBS theme music. But what you

593
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,719
Speaker 1: could have done is you could have gotten in your

594
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: own bag and realized, hey, there was a time in

595
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: the mid two thousands where we weren't half bad either

596
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: on this front. And I want to also leave you

597
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: with this. I think, as I was doing my research today,

598
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: there is one piece of theme music that has totally

599
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: been forgotten to history. Even like college football nut jobs

600
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: like us have forgotten that Fox had the BCS for

601
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: a while in the late two thousands, and the reason

602
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: you've forgotten that is because Fox was terrible at presenting

603
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: the BCS championship game. It felt like an NFL broadcast.

604
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: They even used that little animated robot cleat us. Whatever

605
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: it's called, is just it reeked of taking the Sunday

606
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: cruise and just having them do Saturday work for a

607
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 1: little while. However, Fox has gotten a lot better than

608
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: the College Football Department first off, but secondly, Fox kind

609
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: of sort of secretly killed it with their BCS theme music.

610
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: It sounds like someone took the USC fight song mixed

611
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: in a little Phil Collins and said, pretend like it's

612
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: the movie three hundred going into a battle scene. That

613
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: was That was kind of the CT That was the

614
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: BCS on Fox theme. So anyway, there's a lot of

615
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: good theme music on the scrap heap. This is one

616
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: area you don't need to innovate. You don't need to.

617
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: You just need to recreate. You don't need to innovate.

618
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: But that's what we're rolling with the SEC on ABC.

619
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: And none of us can say boo, all right before

620
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: we bring Cole kublick him. We have got to address

621
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: a couple of things. Number one Ramen Noddle Express time.

622
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: So FanDuel is exclusively presenting the Romenuddle Express this year.

623
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 2: We appreciate them. We appreciate at them big time.

624
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: We have already put one, two, three, We already put

625
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: four games on this thing, and then we added a

626
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: fifth one. So to recap, we have Kent State plus

627
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: twenty four and a half. They're playing pit We've added

628
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: Colorado minus nine and a half and that game's gonna

629
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: kick off in about thirty minutes. Vandy plus thirteen and

630
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: a half against Virginia Tech. We're going with the under

631
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: Miami versus Florida under fifty four and a half. All right,

632
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: and then just a few minutes ago we added Ohio

633
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: plus seventeen and a half on the road at Syracuse.

634
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: Now I cannot stress enough. Tomorrow night, sometime later in

635
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: the evening, I will put out a call. I'll put

636
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: it out on Twitter, I'll put it out on Instagram.

637
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: I'll probably give you about an hour's heads up that

638
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: Friday Night Lines is coming. Friday Night Lines, Colin, if

639
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: you can take this off the full screen and you

640
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: can just show the desk right quick, Friday Night Lines. Basically,

641
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: I kicked this little kickstand on this phone out, I

642
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: lean it up against the night stand in the hotel,

643
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: and you and I have an in depth discussion, sometimes

644
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 1: about the games we've bet, but more specifically about the

645
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: games we haven't bet. I'll pull up the FanDuel monitor here,

646
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: I'll pull up my odds board, I'll pull up our model,

647
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: and I will literally look at the Instagram live chat

648
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: and I will take your games and I'll tell you

649
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: what the model thinks about it, and you can do

650
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: with that information what you want to. You're gonna know

651
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: the games on betting. I'll probably add a couple more

652
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,640

672
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: that being said, no one is sponsoring Cublic Colin. Is

673
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: that correct? I don't think anyone stepped up. They stepped

674
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: up to sponsor everything else on the show. And then

675
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: I said what about Kublic? And they said, is that

676
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: that dude who does that podcast? And I said, I

677
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: don't know, asked the Dog Nation guys, I don't know,

678
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: but we will bring Cole Kublic in every Thursday night.

679
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: We call it cold cuts. It's a working tie. I mean,

680
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 1: you guys could upgrade that if you wanted to. It's

681
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: not like it's not like theme music where it's set

682
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: in stone. Did you have a say, by the way,

683
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 1: in this sec on ABC theme music? Like I know

684
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 1: you guys had your symposium up there and everyone had

685
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: to sign a blood oath to attend it. So you

686
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: heard that in advance? What were your thoughts and did

687
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: you have any input?

688
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 3: First off, you don't know what I heard in advance

689
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 3: or what I thought of it. No, I had no say.

690
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody really cares about my opinion. Here's

691
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 3: here's the thing. The way that you and some of

692
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 3: these other people are talking about this, I view that

693
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 3: the way that the younger generation views fantasy football. If

694
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 3: I ever need a kicker to score points in a

695
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 3: game to get me interested in it, then we got

696
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 3: big problems. It's freaking tackle football, okay, and it's gonna

697
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 3: be the best game of the weekend. So why do

698
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 3: I need some great song or some magical tune to

699
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 3: get me into it. It's gonna be a badass football game,

700
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 3: for That's all you needed of ABC is going to

701
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 3: be an incredible football So I could care less about

702
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 3: the music.

703
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: Answer, guys, The answer they got him. That's the answer

704
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: they got him. Okay, Michigan's offensive line, you played offensive

705
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: line once upon a time. Reportedly so, Michigan's offensive line

706
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: has won the Joe Moore Award two years in a row.

707
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 1: You are a voter on that committee. And now we

708
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 1: come in this year and I got folks in the

709
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 1: live chat asking what's Cuban think about the Michigan offensive line?

710
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:23,919
Speaker 2: So, sir, what do you think about the Michigan offensive line?

711
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 3: I don't think it's going to go anywhere as far

712
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 3: as all of a sudden, they're not going to know

713
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:29,399
Speaker 3: how to play football. Is it going to be as

714
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,839
Speaker 3: dominant as we saw two years ago? Three years ago?

715
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 3: I'm not sure that I had that level of confidence, Josh,

716
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,760
Speaker 3: because it dipped last year. Now it came on late.

717
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 3: I can tell you this. The Joe Moore Award committee

718
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 3: we had to have a couple of special calls later

719
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 3: in the season because of how different that group was

720
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 3: late as opposed to what they looked like early in

721
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 3: the season. So they figured it out. It just took

722
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 3: him a little while, and early on it wasn't what

723
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 3: we expected it to be. It wasn't what it had been.

724
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 3: The previous two years. But schro Moore is still there.

725
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 3: The attitude, the deme, the mindset of that program is

726
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 3: not going to change with him now as the head coach,

727
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 3: And even though he's not gonna be the offensive line

728
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,720
Speaker 3: coach each and every day, it's not going to be bad. Also,

729
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 3: they have a good group of tight ends it's gonna

730
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 3: be able to help that offensive line, and maybe a

731
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 3: more athletic quarterback that's going to be able to do

732
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 3: some different things to force defenses to defend you a

733
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 3: certain weight. Let's be real, the last couple of years,

734
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 3: it didn't matter if there were nineteen defenders in the box.

735
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 3: They were gonna run duo, they were gonna run counter,

736
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,320
Speaker 3: and they were gonna run inside outside zone. This is

737
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 3: what they were going to do and there wasn't a

738
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 3: lot you could do about it. So I'm interested to

739
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 3: see from a quarterback perspective how they work Orgy in,

740
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 3: how they operate with him, what the design run scheme

741
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 3: looks like. They haven't done a ton of that in

742
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 3: the past, at least with this regime. But is it

743
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 3: gonna be elked not out of the gate. Does it

744
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 3: have a chance to be really good by mid end

745
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:46,720
Speaker 3: of season.

746
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so Bud hit us up in the

747
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 1: live chat, not Elliott, and asked about Wyoming Arizona State,

748
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: but model has Arizona State minus ten.

749
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:55,800
Speaker 2: So just FYI.

750
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: So a lot of the folks are asking about this

751
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,839
Speaker 1: Florida Miami game. I'm gonna be down there Saturday. There's

752
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,320
Speaker 1: a lot of like to me, baseless talk that loser

753
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: of game automatically on hot seat. I don't feel that

754
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: way about Mario at all. I think there's a little

755
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: more probably merit to that smoke around Napier and Florida.

756
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 1: But that's like on the periphery. As for the football game,

757
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 1: I think Miami will look like a high level SEC

758
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 1: team physically. I am like, I cannot wait to just

759
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 1: flat out see how they handle this. You've got a

760
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: lot of portal guys that you're gonna immediately plug in

761
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: and count on in an extremely tough environment. I think

762
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: there's a lot more, frankly, a lot more desperation on

763
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: that Florida side. I think Florida will in some ways

764
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 1: have a quarterback edge here, even though I think Ward

765
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: will end up being the more talented option down the road,

766
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: because I think there's a little more consistency and continuity

767
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,399
Speaker 1: in what Florida is gonna do. Also, the other thing

768
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 1: that I think we all just got to wait and

769
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: see on is number one, the centers you of that

770
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 1: Miami offense out the gate, but number two, the.

771
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 2: Whole helmet Colm thing.

772
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: You and I talked about this in the spring a

773
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 1: little bit, like everyone thinks that's just automatically going to

774
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 1: be a strength for them. Someone is going to get

775
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: bitten on the road in Week one because they've leaned

776
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: on that thing like as a crutch all spring and summer,

777
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 1: and they think they've perfected it, and then all of

778
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: a sudden, Oh, I can't even hear. I got my

779
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,720
Speaker 1: quarterback doing this. I can't even hear. That could be Miami,

780
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 1: it could be Notre Dame, it could be somebody. What

781
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: has your attention to most in this thing?

782
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 3: I think number one, it's the kind of game that

783
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 3: Florida wants to get here. I think there are probably

784
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,320
Speaker 3: two three different paths for Miami to go out and

785
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 3: win this football game. I don't know if it's that.

786
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 3: I don't know if the variety of ways Florida can

787
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 3: win are the same for Miami. I think Florida has

788
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 3: one path, maybe two paths to go win this football game.

789
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 3: I think they need to control of the clock. I

790
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 3: think they need to slow the game down. I think

791
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 3: they need to limit possessions for cam Moore than that

792
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 3: Miami offense because they're going to be explosive and as

793
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 3: you stated, it might not have a lot of continuity

794
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 3: right out of the gate, but they have explosive capability.

795
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 3: One with the quarterback leaving the pocket. He is absolutely

796
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 3: brilliant at extending plays down the field. Went outside the pocket. Now,

797
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 3: there are times I think he does it a little

798
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 3: bit too quickly. There are times that he goes full

799
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 3: hot sauce and one point guard and just tries to

800
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 3: run around until something happens and then he goes and

801
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 3: makes a play. But he has the talent to do that.

802
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 3: The difference will be I think Austin Armstrong Ron Roberts

803
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,359
Speaker 3: have the ability to put a plan together that could

804
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 3: be confusing. How much of it can they give. They're

805
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 3: not gonna they're not gonna dial off the pressure. They're

806
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 3: not gonna not show different pressures, back out, bring it

807
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 3: from different areas. So how confused is cam Ward? You

808
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 3: got Zach Carpenter at center, transferring in against Cam Jackson,

809
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 3: who transferred in from Memphis two years ago. On the

810
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 3: interior that Florida defensive line. That's a big matchup that

811
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:43,280
Speaker 3: I think, what's the status of Montreal Johnson. I understand

812
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 3: it's a running back. We've devalued it, but think about

813
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 3: how long that guy's been in that system, Josh. I

814
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 3: mean he played in it at Louisiana. He's played in

815
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 3: it a couple of years at Florida. I want my

816
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 3: vets in the game against Miami, the understanding, the wherewithal.

817
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 3: I don't want any panic. I don't need any freshmen,

818
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 3: not what's going on. I think the Florida offensive line

819
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 3: has a chance to control this game. I want to

820
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 3: see if they can do it. Are they playing together enough?

821
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 3: Because Graham Mertch, you and I have talked about it.

822
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 3: If you put his numbers on eighty other football teams.

823
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,399
Speaker 3: Right now, across college football, we're asking if they're going

824
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 3: to the playoffs or are they gonna win double digit games?

825
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 3: And for some reason we don't think Florida can win

826
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 3: three or four. I think it's gonna be a hell

827
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,360
Speaker 3: of a game. Turner was probably decided. But if Florida

828
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 3: gets their style of fight and that is a slow, methodical,

829
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 3: fistfight of a football game, that I think Florida beats

830
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 3: Miami at home. And I think that what you talked

831
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 3: about with the helmet coms is interesting. Somebody's gonna get

832
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 3: caught and we're gonna know it. Like you said, you're

833
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 3: gonna see the hands on the ears, we're gonna see

834
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 3: the panic looking over to the sideline. Get the play

835
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 3: back in because a lot of things are still gonna

836
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 3: have to be signal. That's what people don't understand. And

837
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 3: the more coaches I talk to about it leading up

838
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 3: to this season, it's I'm just gonna give a tidbit

839
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:51,879
Speaker 3: here and there. I'm gonna get the play in. We're

840
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 3: gonna spread it out, or we're still gonna use our

841
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 3: signals for different position groups and hey, tell the back

842
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 3: to chip on that d end right there. Hey, if

843
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 3: that corner's playing in leverage, go ahead and throw the fade.

844
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 3: Those are the little tidbits that I think coordinators are

845
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 3: going to give. I think some of the former NFL

846
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 3: guys have a little bit of an advantage on that,

847
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 3: but I actually really like Florida's chances to go win

848
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 3: this football game because the d line's going to be

849
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 3: better than people think, and I think the quarterback is

850
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 3: going to consistently get them in the right plays, and

851
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 3: that's going to be massive if Florida does not turn

852
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,359
Speaker 3: the ball over and can maintain possession in this football game.

853
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 1: I got Jeff over here in the live chat asking

854
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: about the new clock rules.

855
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 2: You and I both know Tyler Siske fairly well. I

856
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 2: think he put out a really.

857
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 1: Good video the other day talking about just looking at

858
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: the play clocks in the week zero game. I think

859
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: he may have been talking about FSU Georgia Tech. He

860
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 1: was talking about one of those few games that was played,

861
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 1: and he said, you notice a funny thing. You notice,

862
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: when the play's done, play clock is supposed to immediately restart,

863
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: but they were waiting until they spotted the ball to

864
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 1: start the play clock, which is about six or seven

865
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 1: more seconds. And then you extrapolate that over an entire game,

866
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: and you're shaving minutes and minutes and minutes out of

867
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: a game. And then we go back, we look at

868
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: the box score. You had fourteen total drives. You had

869
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 1: one of the more truncated games we've seen since like

870
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty.

871
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 2: Look, I don't know if that was.

872
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 1: Just newness for officials or whatnot, or if if that's

873
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,280
Speaker 1: like standardized and what I should expect moving forward, because

874
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: I mean, look, the new clock rules and the new

875
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: rules in general are made to shorten the games because

876
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 1: the trade off is, you know, you have longer seasons coming,

877
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 1: and so from a liability standpoint, you got to be

878
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,399
Speaker 1: able to go to court and say, well, look, we've

879
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 1: made rule changes, Like we don't have guys practice like

880
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 1: they used to. We don't have as many tackles to

881
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: the ground and practice as we used to. Guys don't

882
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 1: play as many plays over the course of a season

883
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 1: as they used to.

884
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 2: Dude, that's gonna be the case, man.

885
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 1: That fundamentally alters a football game a whole lot more

886
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: than even I expected it would.

887
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 3: And think about what we've already been hearing from multiple

888
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 3: coaches this offseason. We've talked about certain things coming full

889
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 3: circle in college football. There are a lot of teams

890
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 3: are gonna needse a fullback this year. A lot more

891
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 3: team is gonna go two and three tight end personnel,

892
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 3: a lot more teams that want to play ground and pound,

893
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 3: try to control the clock to shorten that game. For

894
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 3: the reasons that you talked about. We don't want our

895
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,279
Speaker 3: guys going as many snaps. We don't want the track

896
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 3: meet style football games anymore because we know that puts

897
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 3: more people in harm's way because they're more gas by

898
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 3: the end of the games. We all talk about these

899
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,359
Speaker 3: catapult systems that the guys are wearing, where it tells

900
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:21,399
Speaker 3: you you know, how much juice they've given off over

901
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 3: the course of a game, or how many miles they've run,

902
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 3: or how many times they've been hit hard. So we're

903
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 3: trying to limit all of that and manage that going

904
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 3: into a longer season. Sark was really cool talking to

905
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:33,280
Speaker 3: me at SEC media Days about how he's cross trading

906
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 3: different guys and he's going to go into the season

907
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 3: wanting to play more players for Texas this year. So

908
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 3: I've asked more coaches about that after he told me that,

909
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 3: and they said absolutely. We've been working in camp. We

910
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 3: have guards playing tackle more, we have more tackles playing guards,

911
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 3: centers playing guard. We have dns playing linebacker. We have

912
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 3: linebackers playing d N. Safety is playing nickel and corner

913
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 3: so I think that the preparation of the length of

914
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 3: this season, the wear and tear of this season, is

915
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 3: something guys are already trying to get prepared for. And

916
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 3: if you can go in and in the game, ride

917
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 3: your running back or be the more physical football team.

918
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:05,839
Speaker 3: Here's the crazy part about it. When I heard Sam

919
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 3: Pittman Josh say we're gonna run IE formation, and I

920
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 3: kind of got a little bit of an inkling on this,

921
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 3: and so that's why I asked him about it at

922
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 3: Media Days and he confirmed it. I went asked probably

923
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 3: six or seven different coaches on the defensive side of

924
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 3: the football the next few weeks, and I had multiple

925
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 3: coordinators and linebacker coaches tell me we've never fit it.

926
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 3: My guys have never seen I formation, never done it,

927
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,799
Speaker 3: don't know how to do it. So then take on

928
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 3: top of that, how much your linebacker's weigh in these

929
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 3: days to eighteen to twelve to eleven two five. But

930
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 3: you need your guys to run. You guys got to

931
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 3: cover play in space. Now, all of a sudden, hold

932
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 3: on coach, that two hundred and thirty eight pound dude

933
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 3: is got a seven yard hit start, and I just

934
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:49,920
Speaker 3: got to crack skulls with him and then come off

935
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 3: and make the tackle. They're not gonna want to do that.

936
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,479
Speaker 3: I promise you they're not. And listen, you're not gonna

937
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 3: be able to make a living on that and just

938
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,720
Speaker 3: go do that forty times a game. But the teams

939
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 3: who can maybe have some six with it may have

940
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:02,360
Speaker 3: different advantages in the upcoming season.

941
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 1: Do you remember, I mean you check your watches, like

942
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: decade to thirteen years ago, you had you had two

943
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 1: hundred and forty two undre and sixty pounds linebackers the

944
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 1: best teams in the country. I mean, there was a

945
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: time where McLean and High Tower were both two fifty

946
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:19,360
Speaker 1: plus playing inside linebacker at Alabama on championship teams.

947
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 2: And then folks started it was the whole is this

948
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 2: what we want college football to be? Era?

949
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 1: Where folks started to go up tempo, they started to

950
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 1: go no huddle more, they started to go hurry up more.

951
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 1: And then folks got it in their mind that I

952
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: am seeing the future of football. This is just the

953
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,879
Speaker 1: way it will be forever. Offense shoots up. Plays per

954
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 1: game shoot up. And if you were to ask people

955
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:42,359
Speaker 1: in the mid twenty teens, when even Nick Saban went

956
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: from the Rolando mcclan era to the Rashawn Evans era

957
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: and the like at linebacker. If you were to ask

958
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:49,879
Speaker 1: folks what's college football going to be a decade from now,

959
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 1: they would have just seen it continuing on that trajectory,

960
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 1: which is not the way this game has ever actually worked.

961
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: It's not the way sports work in general. Can you

962
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: imagine showing folks in twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, when we've

963
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 1: entered pinball land offensively that come twenty twenty four. First off,

964
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:10,279
Speaker 1: imagine them showing us on this show, and then imagine saying, dude,

965
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,360
Speaker 1: you know, Arkansas is gonna run out of the eye

966
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: this year and it's it's going to drop jaws. It's

967
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 1: gonna be unbelievable. Can you imagine saying that eight or

968
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: nine years ago?

969
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 3: They wouldn't have believed it. And here's the really wild part.

970
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 3: If you take a peek at if you have taken

971
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 3: a peek at some of the preseason NFL football, the Lions,

972
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:31,839
Speaker 3: the Raiders. The Raiders had Brock Bowers at fullback. That's

973
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:33,359
Speaker 3: one of the reasons that I was kind of watching

974
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 3: to see what he was doing. And I believe the

975
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,360
Speaker 3: Vikings and one other team have all gone eye formation

976
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 3: like traditional eye formation in the preseason, So get ready

977
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 3: for it. It's coming. It brings visions of Andy katzen

978
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 3: Moyer at Ohio State with the shoulder pads over the

979
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 3: ear holes and the visor and looks like he's it

980
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 3: looks like he could have easily played guard when Ohio

981
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 3: State had the football, yet was playing off the ball linebacker,

982
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 3: just motoring sideline to sideline. I'm all for it, bring

983
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 3: it back. I'm ready for it.

984
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 1: So it seems like every year we get fixated on

985
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 1: a game, especially when you got several months lead up

986
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: to it. So Texas A and M hosting Notre Dame

987
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 1: is one of those games. A lot of folks are

988
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 1: asking about it over here in the chat, and everyone's

989
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 1: been honed in on Notre Dames offensive line already going

990
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 1: to be young. Then you have the left tackle go down,

991
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 1: so you probably got a true freshman starting left tackle

992
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 1: opposite Nick Skolhurton Saturday night, Kyle Field one hundred plus

993
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: stous and I think there's like six combined starts taking

994
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 1: the field on that offensive line. So it seems like

995
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: there have been things that people just harp on them

996
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: like that in games, and then the matchup, while it

997
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,800
Speaker 1: may be tilted in one direction or another, may not

998
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: be as glaring as it was made out to be.

999
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 1: I have a hard time seeing this matchup not be

1000
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: tilted pretty glaringly towards Texas.

1001
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 2: A and M.

1002
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 1: Having said that, the number on this thing at fanduels

1003
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 1: A and M minus two and a half, And I

1004
00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 1: just keep going back to the other side, and I

1005
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 1: keep thinking, well, why is the world on A and M.

1006
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:04,239
Speaker 2: I know why they are, I'm on A and M.

1007
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 1: But I also think folks are forgetting Notre Dame's half

1008
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,920
Speaker 1: decent defensively as well, and they're just as capable of

1009
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 1: throwing the crowbar in the spokes of A and M

1010
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 1: offensively as the alternative. And so, man, I think the

1011
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:17,760
Speaker 1: over unders forty six and a half in that game.

1012
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 1: I didn't bet it, but I'd have a hard time

1013
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 1: seeing that thing get to the mid forties. How do

1014
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: you see that thing playing out?

1015
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:28,920
Speaker 3: I think whichever offensive line has the greater survival skills

1016
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 3: wins the football game, as in who gets less people

1017
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:37,720
Speaker 3: killed across the course of the game. Connor Wigman, Riley

1018
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 3: Leonard Pick a running back whoever, that is, if they

1019
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 3: decided to go wildcat. I was sitting here looking trying

1020
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 3: to find the tweet from the guy that covers Notre Dame.

1021
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 3: I can't find it, but say he tweeted something about

1022
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 3: how the Media Guide had been tracking their starters since

1023
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 3: eighty two and every year since then they had had

1024
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 3: at least one senior starter on the offensive line for

1025
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 3: the season opener, and this will be the first year

1026
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 3: and forty something years that they don't. I don't have

1027
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:04,280
Speaker 3: a lot of confidence in Texas A and M's offensive

1028
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 3: line right now, but I have a lot of confidence

1029
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 3: in Howard Cross. I have a lot of confidence in

1030
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:11,879
Speaker 3: rj Oben coming over from Duke. On that Notre Dame

1031
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 3: defensive line, they're going to be able to be problematic,

1032
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 3: and as you mentioned, Nick Gordon, you throw Samar Turner

1033
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 3: out there, who I think has a chance to be

1034
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 3: the best defensive lineman in the SEC this year. I

1035
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 3: have a ton of confidence in what that group's going

1036
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 3: to be able to do, specifically with Mike Elko now

1037
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 3: designing it. Now. Second level of that A and M

1038
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 3: defense probably not as confident as I was last year.

1039
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 3: So who takes care of the football and which offensive

1040
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:38,719
Speaker 3: line gets less guys killed. I think essentially decides this game.

1041
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 3: And then go back to what you discussed a little

1042
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 3: bit earlier, the helmet comes a new offense. I love

1043
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 3: Mike Denbrock. I think he's incredible the way he has

1044
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 3: been shown versatility over the last few years. What he

1045
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 3: did with Jayden Daniels last year was amazing. But it's

1046
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 3: still the first game with a new quarterback in a

1047
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 3: new system, at a new place on the road that's

1048
00:49:57,560 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 3: going to be really loud and really hot, and you're

1049
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:01,959
Speaker 3: trying to listen in for the first time in live action.

1050
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 3: That can cause commotion. Man like that can be difficult,

1051
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:08,799
Speaker 3: So I'm interested to see what the game plan is

1052
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 3: for me. I would go exactly where you went, ground

1053
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 3: and power, not just with my run game, but I

1054
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 3: would try to do it also with my quarterback, and

1055
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 3: I'd have some extra bigs in there, whether it's tight ends,

1056
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:20,360
Speaker 3: an extra offensive lineman, and just say we're gonna do

1057
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:22,919
Speaker 3: our best not to get blown up here. Now, from

1058
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 3: what I hear out of camp at Notre Dame, the

1059
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 3: wide receiver position feels like it's elevating. They say it's elevating. Well, Josh,

1060
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 3: I've been hearing that, like I've been here in the

1061
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 3: an in offensive line is gonna be back to what

1062
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 3: it was in twenty twenty for the last five or

1063
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 3: six years so and it hasn't really happened. Tight end.

1064
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:40,359
Speaker 3: I'll buy it. I'll believe you, receiver. I'll wait and see.

1065
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:42,319
Speaker 3: You're gonna have to prove it to me. So I

1066
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 3: do like the A and M weapons though at wide

1067
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 3: receiver in the backfield, and I think that's where maybe

1068
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 3: you make Connor Wigman's life a little bit easy. I'm

1069
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:51,920
Speaker 3: also interested to see from a quarterback run perspective on

1070
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 3: that side of the ball. I mean, we know what

1071
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 3: Colin Klein has done as a player and as a

1072
00:50:56,680 --> 00:51:00,320
Speaker 3: coordinator with quarterback runs. You're gonna run Connor Wigman. He

1073
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 3: hasn't survived a season yet, so how far do you

1074
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 3: go out of your way to protect him against a

1075
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 3: really good defensive front in an offensive line that may

1076
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 3: be struggling.

1077
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 1: You talk to a lot of coaches, most of what

1078
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 1: I take A and M because they're at home.

1079
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:15,720
Speaker 2: Well beautiful, beautiful.

1080
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 1: So when you get feedback, whether it be from coaches

1081
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 1: anyone close to a program to get to consistently watch

1082
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:28,240
Speaker 1: practice and know what they're looking at. How many times

1083
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 1: over let's say the span of the last month, have

1084
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,360
Speaker 1: you gotten feedback without being specific about it. Have you

1085
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:37,359
Speaker 1: gotten feedback where you've gone Oh no, Because everything that

1086
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 1: is made public is always glowing. Everything that actually makes

1087
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:44,840
Speaker 1: it and it's fit for print is glowing. I like,

1088
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:46,440
Speaker 1: I hit you up about a couple of them the

1089
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 1: other day and I said, I hadn't seen that anywhere.

1090
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 1: And if that's the case, well, the trade off is

1091
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 1: you can't talk about it publicly obviously, but in generic terms,

1092
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:58,880
Speaker 1: I mean, if you can give consistent things you hear

1093
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:00,840
Speaker 1: like it's the same here, here, here, and here, or

1094
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 1: just a generalized idea.

1095
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:04,920
Speaker 2: How many of those moments have you had recently?

1096
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:06,399
Speaker 3: I've had a few.

1097
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1098
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:11,200
Speaker 3: And what's odd is some of the or o expletive

1099
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 3: moments have come from what I view as some of

1100
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 3: the better teams in college football, which tells me that

1101
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:19,759
Speaker 3: the attention to detail and how specific they are as

1102
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:22,399
Speaker 3: we need to be great there because we're not yet

1103
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 3: not let's just be really good everywhere. But we're not

1104
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,360
Speaker 3: really good. We're not elite there, So how do we

1105
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 3: do that, And because we're not, it really pisses me off,

1106
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 3: and I have a problem with that. Uh So I

1107
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 3: don't ever hit the panic button about that, and I

1108
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:36,359
Speaker 3: don't get overly concerned about it. I've had a few

1109
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 3: people come to me on those things, and I've heard

1110
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:39,799
Speaker 3: the same things about teams that are ranked in the

1111
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 3: top five right now, And my answer is always, why

1112
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:45,720
Speaker 3: would I worry about one position or one position group?

1113
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 3: With that team there a minus a plus across the

1114
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 3: board everywhere else that they'll figure it out, they're gonna

1115
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 3: be okay. And then you get some of those teams

1116
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 3: that we look at as sort of coin flip teams.

1117
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 3: Are they gonna win four, they're gonna win eight? And

1118
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 3: it always seems to be happy, go lucky. It always

1119
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 3: seems to be merry, and things are better than they appear,

1120
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:05,399
Speaker 3: and we feel better than we thought we would about

1121
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 3: this guy. But yeah, I've had a couple of panic calls,

1122
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 3: and I've had a couple of people that didn't really

1123
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 3: want to talk about how their practices were going. And

1124
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:15,320
Speaker 3: the one specifically that you mentioned I have not gotten

1125
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:17,720
Speaker 3: confirmation on, but based on the demeter and the feedback

1126
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 3: that I've gotten. I've lean more towards what you heard

1127
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:22,840
Speaker 3: as opposed to what I think. So I don't know

1128
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 3: if that'll be good or bad, but I'll tell you

1129
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 3: this Saturday afternoon. It'll be pretty easy to tell. Yeah,

1130
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 3: I'll be able to tell by watching the game on television. Yeah.

1131
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 1: So I know it serves no purpose if you're a

1132
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:37,879
Speaker 1: viewer or a listener because there's no specific given here.

1133
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:40,319
Speaker 1: But I think just the generic stuff is number one.

1134
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 1: Everyone will feel free to talk about it in the

1135
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 1: post game. That's a teaser. But number two, I think

1136
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:48,319
Speaker 1: what you said there, I don't want to just gloss over.

1137
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:52,400
Speaker 1: There are teams who are expected to compete for a championship,

1138
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:54,759
Speaker 1: and it's really weird because I see the same thing

1139
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 1: I get, the same stuff you get. It's like those

1140
00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:59,840
Speaker 1: are the ones who are ready willing and able to

1141
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,839
Speaker 1: critique every little thing about their program because I think

1142
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:04,759
Speaker 1: they want to make sure a hype bubble doesn't feel

1143
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:07,400
Speaker 1: too much. Then you got teams who's over underwin totals

1144
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 1: are like six or seven, seven and a half, and

1145
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 1: they're the ones who will halfway have you convinced they're

1146
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:13,520
Speaker 1: on the road to Atlanta.

1147
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:15,440
Speaker 2: Or Charlotte or Dallas or whatnot.

1148
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 1: And it's I always wonder what purpose people think that serves, because,

1149
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 1: if anything, I would be more aggressive in reaching out

1150
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:25,840
Speaker 1: about the dude. I don't know, man, I'd be Steve Spurrier.

1151
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:28,200
Speaker 1: Every day I practice was as horrible as I've ever

1152
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:30,399
Speaker 1: seen today. I have no idea how I'm even gonna

1153
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 1: find eleven to put out there. That's how I'd be

1154
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 1: as a coach. I'm always fascinated by guys who try

1155
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 1: and inflate, inflate, inflate. I can think of some very

1156
00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 1: notable examples of guys who inflated a team that ends

1157
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:44,799
Speaker 1: up going three and nine, and afterwards you're like, what

1158
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:48,920
Speaker 1: were you seeing? Obviously you weren't seeing what you texted

1159
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:50,360
Speaker 1: me like, what were you actually seeing?

1160
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 3: Well, I think too, something that happens specifically in fall

1161
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 3: camp is the takeaways from scrimmages, which you gotta be

1162
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:02,440
Speaker 3: careful you trust number one. If you weren't, there are

1163
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:07,320
Speaker 3: oftentimes blown way out of proportion. And I never figured

1164
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 3: this out as a player. I figured this out after

1165
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 3: I had a situation like this happened with a coach

1166
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:16,160
Speaker 3: that was preparing for I mean, I don't care. It

1167
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 3: was out there. I'll say it again. I had pretty

1168
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:21,280
Speaker 3: good information that Clemson was spending all their time on Alabama,

1169
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 3: didn't spend much time on Notre Dame, and they walked

1170
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:26,440
Speaker 3: past Notre Dame and then they went and beat Alabama.

1171
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 3: Guess what great job. If that's what you did.

1172
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:29,800
Speaker 2: It worked.

1173
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 3: Clemson fans were still really mad about it. But what

1174
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:37,440
Speaker 3: players while they're playing don't understand is some of the

1175
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 3: things that you are being shown, some of the plays

1176
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 3: that you are being run, have absolutely no chance of

1177
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:46,320
Speaker 3: being called that Saturday, zero point zero, zero zero percent

1178
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:49,320
Speaker 3: chance of being called. Like you have a better chance

1179
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 3: of doing what Jackson Dart told me Lane Kiffen has

1180
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:54,520
Speaker 3: done before and drawing up a play in the grass

1181
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:58,440
Speaker 3: on the sideline or called a play that does not exist.

1182
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 3: Then you do running some of those plays that you

1183
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:04,800
Speaker 3: actually repped fifty eighty one hundred and fifty times in practice,

1184
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:07,719
Speaker 3: because that was for the next week, the next game,

1185
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:09,799
Speaker 3: two weeks later, three weeks later, or the game at

1186
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 3: the end of the year at whatever that was. I

1187
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 3: didn't know those things happened. So a lot of times

1188
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 3: these scrimmages are set up to see how one position

1189
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 3: group will react, how one player will fare at a

1190
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 3: certain spot, in certain coverage, a certain portation of the field,

1191
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 3: or in certain situations, or are we going to be

1192
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 3: able to lean on this guy if we get in

1193
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 3: this spot right here? Are we going to be able

1194
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:33,719
Speaker 3: to go four minute offense against this kind of a

1195
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:35,479
Speaker 3: defense if they're putting eight or nine in the box

1196
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 3: and actually steal a win here on the road? Coaches

1197
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:41,160
Speaker 3: are that detailed sometimes, Josh, I want to see those things,

1198
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:43,479
Speaker 3: and then you'll come out of a scrimmage saying, man.

1199
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 4: They couldn't run the ball for nothing. That offensive line

1200
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 4: it's terrible. Well, left tackle got smoked, but you may

1201
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:51,680
Speaker 4: be putting him in bad situations just to see how

1202
00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 4: he would react or see how things would go. So

1203
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:57,280
Speaker 4: I treat that information kind of like I treat spring games.

1204
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:00,239
Speaker 4: There are very specific things that I want to try

1205
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 4: to learn about a team going into a season. You

1206
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 4: can watch a spring game and most people are right,

1207
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:08,880
Speaker 4: you're not going to learn collectively about the entire football team.

1208
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:11,640
Speaker 3: But if I have a question about the right tackle,

1209
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:14,400
Speaker 3: or if I have a question about the quarterbacks feel

1210
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:16,880
Speaker 3: of the offense, I think Blake shape in Mississippi State

1211
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 3: was a perfect example of this. I didn't need Blake

1212
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 3: Shapin to throw for five hundred and eighty yards in

1213
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 3: the spring game. I didn't need him to go twenty

1214
00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 3: four of twenty four. What I needed to see was

1215
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 3: him be decisive, comfortable, quick, and have a good understanding

1216
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 3: of the rhythm, the feel and the speed of that offense.

1217
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 3: And he did it all. So I walked away from

1218
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 3: that game thinking, I think that offense, as long as

1219
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 3: he's in the game, has a chance to be pretty good.

1220
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 3: Because he got the ball out on time. There wasn't

1221
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:47,240
Speaker 3: any wishy washy with the mesh. He knew where to

1222
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 3: get the ball to and there were certain times when

1223
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 3: he just looked to the sideline and threw the ball

1224
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 3: in the stands, And by god, that's what I want

1225
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:56,000
Speaker 3: my quarterback to do to avoid a third and thirty eight.

1226
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:59,040
Speaker 3: So there just there have to be details that you're

1227
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:01,600
Speaker 3: trying to learn, and I think some people are looking

1228
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:04,280
Speaker 3: for the collective information instead of the detailed information.

1229
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:06,640
Speaker 1: There was a time, and we'll wrap up after this.

1230
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 1: There was a time in the past few several months. Actually,

1231
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 1: you can go all the way back to spring. I'm

1232
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 1: out of practice. There is a guy probably whose name

1233
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:19,560
Speaker 1: is top seven or eight in the Heisman odds right now,

1234
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:23,360
Speaker 1: and I'm watching red zone. I'm standing behind the line

1235
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:24,920
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. I'm standing with the head coach and the

1236
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 1: play caller back there, who are not the same person,

1237
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:29,760
Speaker 1: and I'm watching them run red zone full eleven on

1238
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 1: eleven and they are just flat out talking amongst each

1239
00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 1: other about how we just want to see mentally how.

1240
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 2: Hard it is to rattle this guy quarterback.

1241
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 1: And so they run it in and head coach signals

1242
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:47,640
Speaker 1: hold to the line judge, who then throws this flat.

1243
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:48,760
Speaker 2: There's no hold anywhere.

1244
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:51,840
Speaker 1: It's perfectly blocked, perfectly executed, and so they run it again.

1245
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 1: Two plays later, they're in the end zone again and

1246
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:56,520
Speaker 1: personal foul something like that got called, so they call

1247
00:58:56,640 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 1: four on him. It was four flags in a row

1248
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:02,840
Speaker 1: on scoring plays. They scored four times in red zone,

1249
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 1: and they get called back on the fourth one. Finally,

1250
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:08,840
Speaker 1: quarterback turns around, blows up in head coaches face, only

1251
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:11,160
Speaker 1: to be told that's how I know you're not ready yet.

1252
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:14,880
Speaker 1: Took four of them, four touchdowns called back. I think

1253
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:16,640
Speaker 1: that is going to be pretty good. This fault Look,

1254
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:18,920
Speaker 1: you've been good tonight. I appreciate this.

1255
00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 2: Oh thank you.

1256
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 1: People know you can make it through five minutes, but

1257
00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 1: it's almost like you do radio every day.

1258
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:26,800
Speaker 2: You've got longevity about yourself.

1259
00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:30,480
Speaker 3: We're working on it. We're trying to be more lengthy

1260
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 3: when need be. But I see multiple people in the

1261
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:35,280
Speaker 3: chats saying that we need to go watch football.

1262
00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:36,640
Speaker 2: Well, is Deon winning tonight?

1263
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 3: Yes or no, they're gonna win. I do think it's

1264
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 3: going to be competitive, and it's one of the things

1265
00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:44,840
Speaker 3: I'm most interested to see tonight is are they different

1266
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 3: in the trenches, because the folks who I talk to

1267
00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:50,480
Speaker 3: that have been there and been around it say that

1268
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 3: it's still kind of about padent stats and throwing it

1269
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 3: around and not necessarily primarily focusing on where a lot

1270
00:59:56,840 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 3: of other people place the emphasis along the line of scrimmage.

1271
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,439
Speaker 1: All right, So with that team they're playing, will yeah,

1272
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:06,360
Speaker 1: we got Colorado now. Tornatic activity in the Twin Cities

1273
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:09,920
Speaker 1: area has bumped the North Carolina Minnesota kickoff all the

1274
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:12,480
Speaker 1: way back to like nine, So, unbeknownst to us, we're

01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:14,560
Speaker 1: gonna get like a second leg of games tonight. So
