Over Friday to over five? It's too long. 12 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 1: Five kids my sweet spot. That's what I do. I'll 13 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,840 Speaker 1: tell you what, man. My my daughter runs. She runs 14 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: track in the spring. She runs the eight hundred of mile. 15 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,599 Speaker 1: But so we we'll go out now that they're off 16 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,279 Speaker 1: school and stuff, so we have a little trails. We'll 17 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: go running. It's like a it's like three and a 18 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: half four miles and Buck, I mean, I'm I'm feeling great. 19 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: I get to that, I get to that like three 20 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: mile mark and it's like somebody just jumps on top 21 00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: of my back. I have yet to see him. I 22 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: keep turning around to see who's doing Yeah, it is 23 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: nobody there. It's fine. I just don't think I could 24 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: have the mental stamina to go beyond that. I think 25 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: six miles like on a ten k would just man, 26 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:16,119 Speaker 1: I just don't know if I can mentally stay. Oh yeah, 27 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: it's it's it's a grind, it's a grind. Uh. We 28 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: got a we got a busy show today. We've got 29 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: our good buddy, Joel clapped from Fox, who's gonna be 30 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,559 Speaker 1: called the Ohio State Michigan game. Huge game. Uh, really 31 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,199 Speaker 1: kind of a playoff game here coming up this weekend. 32 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: And get a chance to to visit with Joel about 33 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 1: that game as well as some of the other top 34 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: players in college football. We're gonna go through these NFL 35 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: games with our previews and and Buck, I got a 36 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: feeling this is uh, you know, this is gonna be 37 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: your week here for these college picks, because we got 38 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: a bunch of two for the ball games. I'll get 39 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: ready for the ball games. That's how you're holding out 40 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: for ready for the ball games. Because we reset reset 41 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: the counter at the bowl games. That's when you jump in. 42 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: I think we've I'm looking ahead though, looking ahead. I 43 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: think we've got three two point games. You jump right 44 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: back in this thing with a big week, you're in there. 45 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: I can't catch Ken. I've been on his heels. I 46 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: just can't ever catch him. Really frustrating. Um, you want, 47 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: you want anything else you wanna jump into before we 48 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: get in these games? No, No No, let's get right to 49 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: it all right. Let her rip brown z that Bengals. 50 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,799 Speaker 1: I don't think the brown side of this thing. And 51 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: uh like the big storyline here Hugh Jackson obviously coaching 52 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: against his former team, which is just odd when you 53 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: when you join another staff inside the division after being 54 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: let go. That's that's definitely a storyline. But I'm gonna 55 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: say what I'm looking forward to watching this one is 56 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: Denzel Award. Um, this is a tight race for defensive 57 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year. I'd say Darius Leonard is in 58 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,239 Speaker 1: pole position right now with what he's done and the 59 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: stats that he has accumulated. Latent Vanderesh has made a 60 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: late charge. Uh, Derwin James had a great year, although 61 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: that you know, I had to be made those splash 62 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: plays the last couple of weeks that we've come accustomed to. 63 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: But Denzel a Ward is right in that mix. He 64 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: needs to have like a two interception game, uh, some 65 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: splash plays, maybe a pick six, but this could be 66 00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 1: the game that gets done. I'm keeping my eyes on 67 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: Denzel Award and this one, I'm keeping my eyes on 68 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: the other sideline, and I'm actually looking at Hugh Jackson 69 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,119 Speaker 1: because the conversation coming out of Cincinnati has been looked. 70 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 1: Marvin Lewis has been calling the defense, but eventually Hugh 71 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: Jackson make called the defense. That's been interesting. It certainly 72 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: it wasn't good last week playing against the running quarterback. 73 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: It was it wasn't good last weekend. And if it 74 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: really comes down to it, like I know, Hugh Jackson's 75 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: basically the associate head coach. He's kind of trying to 76 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 1: help Marvin while Marvin is managing the game running the defense. 77 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: But when I look at this team, this team is 78 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: in a critical situation. If they're going to make a 79 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: run and have a chance at the playoffs, it has 80 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: to start now without a j Green has to be 81 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: more on Tyler board. But really the guy who has 82 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,119 Speaker 1: been missing in action, Joe Mixing. They got to get 83 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: the running game cranked up. When Joe Mixon plays well. 84 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: This offense is going and protects the defense. I'm looking 85 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: with Joe Mixing to have a big game forty Niners 86 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: that Buccaneers. Well, I'll tell you what. Thanksgiving us. It's 87 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: right here and it's it's definitely a big food day 88 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: and it needs to be a big turnover day for 89 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: the for the forty Niners. Shouldn't be hard. There's a discount, 90 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: there's there's like it's like a Black Friday sale when 91 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: you play the Buccaneers because they just give out. They 92 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: just give out turnovers. They're just two for one specials. Uh. 93 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: That's what the forty Niners have to do in this 94 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: game if they're gonna get a win on the road 95 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: at Tampa. Uh, get some of those turnovers that that 96 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: the Bucks seems so excited to distribute. Well, then with 97 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: the Buccaneers, we can see a chance to see Jamis 98 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: Winston start again. He played really well. When you get 99 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: a chance to fill in jumped in last week for 100 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick who was ineffective, turned the ball over. Jamis 101 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: comes in, leaves the team down the field, has a 102 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: couple of touchdowns. There's a great job of kind of 103 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 1: managing the offense and the offense was kind of rolling 104 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 1: under his watch. Let's see what it's like now that 105 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: he gets to start against the forty Niners. For Jameis Winston, 106 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: he has to know that he is playing for his job. 107 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: He's playing for the right to be the franchise quarterback 108 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: in Tampa Bay. I think we may see a more focus, Um, 109 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: a guy that is a little better when it comes 110 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: to the decisions from the pocket. If Jamis Winston does 111 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: that stuff, we know he has plenty of arm talent. 112 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: We're just kind of waiting to see the gay play 113 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: like the number one pick in teen draft Jaguarars that Bills. Remember, 114 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey had some not so nice things to say 115 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: about Josh Allen when going through the draft process. Um. Interesting, Uh, 116 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: one thing I'm keep my eyes on is Jalen Ramsey 117 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: because last week, coming off a game he had two picks, 118 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,679 Speaker 1: he looked like a defensive player of that your talent 119 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: that we know that he possesses. And I think that 120 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,239 Speaker 1: that little rumor that got out there that Jack's quickly 121 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: refuted about him, you know, potentially being on the trading block, 122 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: I think that got his juice is flowing a little bit. Uh, 123 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: he got rolling last week. I I would look for 124 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey uh to keep that train rolling here. I 125 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: think he gets another one this week. Yeah, he may 126 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: get another one because Josh Allen has been a guy 127 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: who struggled with some turnovers a little bit. But really, 128 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: I think everyone in Buffalo has to be excited about 129 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 1: Josh Allen returning to the lineup. He's a talented player. 130 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: This is the offense that has had some success a 131 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. They were would have success with 132 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 1: Matt Barkley at the controls. Josh Allen obviously is a 133 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: better talent, more explosive. I just want to see how 134 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: this offense continues to evolve with him at the quarterback. 135 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: Let's see if they utilize his legs a little bit. 136 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: Let him be to du with three playmaker that he 137 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: certainly can be. If they do that, they could have 138 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: a chance against the Jaguars offense that has been struggling 139 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 1: whenever they have to put the ball in Black Borders hands. Hello, Raiders, 140 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: that Ravens. You know some of those words that can 141 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: be used in a good context and then in a 142 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: bad context. Sell out is one of those words, Buck, 143 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: because right, you don't want to be a seller, but 144 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: if you have a game, you know you want to 145 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: sell out the game. Uh that's the word for the 146 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: Raiders in this game, sell out, because they need to 147 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: sell out to stop Lamar Jackson rushing the football. If 148 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: you lose this game, you're the Raiders with Lamar Jackson 149 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: throwing the ball over your head. You live with that, 150 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: but you've got to make him prove he can do that. 151 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: You cannot do what the Cincinnati Bengals did last week, 152 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: keep your safeties in the parking lot and give him 153 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: all kinds of space to run around twenty seven times. 154 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: So I think they bring the safeties down. I think 155 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: they sell out to stop the run and uh give 156 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: him a decent chance to win against the Baltimore Ravens 157 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: team that I think they're still trying to figure out 158 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: what they want to do here with Lamar Jackson. Yeah, 159 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: with Lamar Jackson, I think the over under his twenty 160 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: twenty rushing attempts. Uh, you can't run them twenty seven times. 161 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: It's just not a good equation. However, you do like 162 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: the fact that they had two and fifty six rushing yards. 163 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: They were able to kind of impose their will control 164 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: the game, and it really helped their defense kind of 165 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: play this solid play that they wanted to play. I 166 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: think against the Raiders, Lamar Jackson continues to expand upon 167 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: what they asked him to do. Last week, they only 168 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: had them for it nineteen times. Maybe they pushed that 169 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: up to twenty five. But I think at the end 170 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: of the day, the Baltimore Ravens want to run the ball, 171 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: they want to play defense, and they want to rely 172 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: on their defense forcing Derk Carr into a bad decision 173 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: He's made him in pretty much every game this year. 174 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: I think they want to sit and wait and pounce 175 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: and then give the ball to Lamar Jackson shure Field 176 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: so he can do his run option stuff and kind 177 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: of have the success that he was able to have 178 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: his first start against the Cleveland run the Cincinnati Bees. 179 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: With Seahawks at Panthers, alright back, I'll keep my goofy 180 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: theme going here. There's that whole thing who wore it better? Uh, 181 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: this is who runs it better? That's what this game is. 182 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: Who can run the football better? Between the Seahawks and 183 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: the Panthers. That's the way these teams are built. I 184 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: think the Panthers. With Cam Newton, they can get in 185 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: the game where they have to throw it a little 186 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: bit more. I think Seattle, as this offensive line is constructed, 187 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: they are built to run the ball, So they have 188 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: got to establish the run early in this ball game 189 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: if they're gonna get a big win on the road 190 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: against the Carolina team coming off of just a brutal loss. Yeah, 191 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: brutal loss the Carolina Panthers. This is a critical game 192 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: for them. Six games left in the season. They're sitting 193 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 1: there six and four. Cam Newton didn't have his best 194 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: game against the Detroit lines. This is a team that 195 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: many of us have expected to be able to challenge 196 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: to new one of the Saints and some of the 197 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: front runners in the NFC. Well, if that's going to happen, 198 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: they have to win this game at home. And this 199 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: is tough because the Seattle Seahawks are almost like a mirror, 200 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: a carbon copy of what the Panthers are. They are 201 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: run heavy team. They're gonna run it and dare you 202 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: to stop it. We need to see if this Carolina 203 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: Panthers defense can stand up and handle the punches that 204 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: to see how with the ring game Patriots at Jets. 205 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: I look at this Patriots front, this defensive line. This 206 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: is the Jets offensive line that's a little leaky. You 207 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: should be able to get some heat on the quarterback 208 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 1: and we'll see who that's gonna be. If it is 209 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: the rookie Sam Donald, I like to see what the 210 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: Patriots want to do. They look Bill Belichick against rookie quarterbacks. 211 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: The numbers are the numbers. They're ridiculously. He does not 212 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: lose those games. Um. But I want to see not 213 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: just them win a game. I want to see the 214 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: Patriots play above their opponents level. I want to see 215 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: them dominate a football game. I want to see them 216 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: get it done in the trenches against a very average 217 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: offensive line. And I want to see a boat race 218 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: in this game. If you watch the game the other 219 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: night between the Chiefs and the Rams, and we've seen 220 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,439 Speaker 1: what the Saints are doing, we saw Pittsburgh with a 221 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: comeback win, I think this could be a statement game 222 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: for the New England Patriots. Just go put it on 223 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: the Jets. Wow, just go put it on them, just 224 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: like in a big way. Like I'm talking about like 225 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: forty five to six type game. Traditionally, the New York 226 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: Jets have played well against the New England Patriots. They've 227 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: done a really good job of kind of keeping the 228 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: score down when they've played at home for Todd Bowls. 229 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: This is something where he needs to have a signature win. 230 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: Like his job is in jeopardy. The offense is kind 231 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: of gone south and the defense has not played well 232 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. For Tyd Bowl, it would 233 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: be nothing better than have a signature win at home 234 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,439 Speaker 1: against the Patriots. I think he has to figure out 235 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: a way to be more involved in the game plan 236 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: and helped his defense get right, and then they got 237 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: to figure out a way to alleviate some of the 238 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 1: pressure on Sam Donald. This has to be the Jets 239 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: best game of the season. Because they lose this one, 240 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:38,839 Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of people that will 241 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:45,599 Speaker 1: be cleaning out their office lockers soon. Giants sat Eagles. 242 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: I strolled down on my paper Chuck and duck. If 243 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 1: you're the Giants, just come out and chuck the football. 244 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: Last week we saw Drew Brees tear apart this Eagle 245 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: secondary three sixty three yards and four touchdowns. I'll put 246 00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: a line on it. Four here, buck, I'll go three 247 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: forty I'm gonna say, if the Giants win this game, 248 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: it's because Elik Manning throws for three forty and I'll 249 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: put that number at three. You gotta go three forty 250 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: and three they win the game. Wow. Yeah, I can't 251 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: make any predictions like that, but I can predict that 252 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: the Philadephia Eagles right now, I have to get back 253 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,439 Speaker 1: to playing like the defendant Super Bowl champs. And look, 254 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 1: they came in with a lot of fanfare. We thought 255 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,719 Speaker 1: this team was better constructed than the team to win 256 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: it a year ago, and they just haven't played to that. 257 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: I think the pressure right now is on Doug Peterson. 258 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson has to find a way to balance out 259 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: this offense. I love Carson Wentz. I think Carson Wentz 260 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: is the best one of the best young talents at 261 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: the quarterback position that we have in the league. But 262 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: right now they're putting too much on the shoulders. They 263 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: have to be able to run the ball. Someone in 264 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 1: that backfield has to step up, whereas Josh Adams, Corey 265 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: Clement one of those guys they have to step up 266 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: and give them something. They cannot continue to have Carson 267 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: wentztoring at forty forty five times. That is a recipe 268 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,559 Speaker 1: for disaster for the Eagles. This is a must win. 269 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: They have to get this one at home. Hello Cardinals, 270 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: that Chargers. I'll go back to David Johnson with the Cardinals. 271 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: You know, I think all eyes will be on Josh 272 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,559 Speaker 1: Rosen coming back to Los Angeles, take on the Chargers, 273 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: and that'll be fun to watch him out there. Buck. 274 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: But I'm telling you, David Johnson, get him going in 275 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: this game. Get him running the ball. I saw Philip 276 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,319 Speaker 1: Lindsey pop a couple long runs last week against the Chargers. 277 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: I think it's a heavy dose of David Johnson in 278 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,079 Speaker 1: this game and trying to establish him. Remember now, the 279 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: Chargers lost Corey Legion last week. The week before that, 280 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: they lost Denzel Perriman, those two key pieces in the 281 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: middle of that defense. I think you come out run 282 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: the ball. Yeah, they should run the ball. David Johnson 283 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,959 Speaker 1: has been at the centerpiece since Byron left, which is 284 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: taken over his offense coordinator, so the Charges must be 285 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 1: up to the challenge of stopping him. But more importantly, 286 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: this is a bounce back game. They can't give away 287 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: another game after giving away the game last week against 288 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos. I need to see them play better. 289 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: I need to see them on offense just play a 290 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,439 Speaker 1: clean football game. Get back to running, get back to 291 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: making the big plays off play action in the passing game. 292 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: If they just do what they normally do, I think 293 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: this should be an easy winning for the Chargers Dolphins 294 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,680 Speaker 1: that Colds. Welcome back Ryan Tannehill. He's missed the last 295 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 1: five games. He is back in the lineup, and unfortunately 296 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: he's gonna be going up against a Colts team and 297 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: really a Cults offense. When you look at what Andrew 298 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 1: Luck has done, that's scoring a bunch of points. So 299 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: he can't just kind of ease his way in and 300 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: kind of slop around. He's got to come out in 301 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: this game and be efficient, be productive. I think he 302 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 1: hit some splash plays, some big plays. Because at twenty 303 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: one points, ain't gonna get it against the Colts on 304 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: the road. You're gonna have to put up twenty eight 305 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: thirty points. Uh, So there's gonna be no no uh 306 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: kind of easing into this ball game for Ryan tanne 307 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: who needs to come out hot. You know, think about 308 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: being hot. I guess Ryan Tannehills maybe tending three in 309 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,079 Speaker 1: his last thirteen stars. That's the number that is beyond 310 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: belief to me. Yeah, it's a little shocking, but when 311 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 1: I go in, I look at it. Indianapolis Coast is 312 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: all about Andrew Luck. Two hundred and fourteen straight dropbacks 313 00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: without a sack. He's found a way to get the 314 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: ball out of his hands quick for them throws when 315 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 1: they match protect. That's when they take their shots. To 316 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: t Y Hilton. I think for the Coast is the 317 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 1: same recipe. Find a way to allow him to be efficient, 318 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: keep him clean in the pocket. If they do that 319 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: at the coastchool want and get another win. Steelers that Broncos. 320 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: I had fun watching this Steelers defense last week. They 321 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: kept them in the game while their offense was kind 322 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: of floundering and Roethlisberger was turning the ball over. They 323 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: kept the game close with a dominant defensive performance. And 324 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: when you look at what they have upfront, the combination 325 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: of Cam Hayward and Javon Hargrave, they dominated. They domin 326 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: not left. They dominated against the rum. But you see 327 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: the games they run the twists, They run inside to 328 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: generate some pressure, generate some sacks, and then coming off 329 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: the edge with Bud Dupree supplying the power and t. J. 330 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: Watt providing the speed. That's a good front and I 331 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: look for them in this ball game going up against 332 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos. The Chargers could not expose the Broncos 333 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: offensive line that is down three starters. I think the 334 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: Steelers have a better shot of getting that done this week. 335 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: It will be definitely something to keep an eye on. Yeah, 336 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: I think you definitely have to keep an eye on 337 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: how the Denver Broncos offense performance. But really this game 338 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: falls on the show it is of Bradley Chub and 339 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: Von Miller. Those are the two best playmakers that they 340 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 1: have on defense. Those are the guys that kind of 341 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: set the tone for the defense, and I think we 342 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: saw it. Von Miller basically saved them a week ago 343 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: against the Chargers. I think he's going to have to 344 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: replicate that effort against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He and his 345 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: young buddy Bradley Chub, they have to dominate this game 346 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: for the Broncos to have any chance of pulling off 347 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: the upset Packers. That Vikings, well, I'll tell you what 348 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: I might do if if I'm the Vikings, I might 349 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 1: take Kirk's watch and just like set it back about 350 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: four hours and just say, hey, no, it says I 351 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: know it says. It says it's a four o'clock game. 352 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 1: It's a four o'clock game. As we've talked about, Unfortunately, 353 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: Kirk has not had that that much luck working in 354 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: these night games. This is a huge game. I would 355 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: say must win. I'll throw must win on this. Both 356 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: these teams hovering around five hundred. They tied earlier this 357 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: year four or five one Packers five four and one Vikings. 358 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: The Bears doing what they're doing. I don't want to 359 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: say loser Leaf Town. We talked about that before, but 360 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: I definitely think this is a huge game. And I 361 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: think when you have that, you have emotion um and 362 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: what we say, buck pressure, pressure, bus pipes. Who's gonna 363 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: turn the ball over? Which one of these offenses is 364 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: going to turn the ball over? Is going to decide 365 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: this game. Little Mike McCarthy has to figure out a 366 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: way to turn it up. There are people in Green 367 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 1: Bay that are already calling for his job. They believe 368 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: his voice is gotten stale. Uh. They feel like there's 369 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: a new change, a change that is needed in Green Bay. 370 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: So the pressure is definitely on McCarthy. When I look 371 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: for the Vikings, man, I think the pressure is on 372 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: their coaching staff, their offensive coaching staff in particular. They 373 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: gotta figure out a way how to get this offense going. 374 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 1: I don't like the fact that they only ran the 375 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: ball fourteen times in their last game. It has to 376 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: balance it out. I know from mike'samer defense oriented coach, 377 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: a guy who wants to be able to dominate with 378 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: the defense, he needs to have more help from his offense. 379 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: Run the ball. Control the game shortened the clock and 380 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: allowed a defense to be well arrested. Going against a 381 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: tough Aaron Rodgers, this is a game where you want 382 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: to take some of the pressure off Kirk Cousins by 383 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: leaning on David Cooks and others to make plays in 384 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: the running in Titans that Texans. My eyes are on 385 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,400 Speaker 1: a Dory Jackson and this one. He had a rough 386 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: game against t Y Hilton got absolutely torched last week 387 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: and does not get any easier. When you look across 388 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: the last image and you see new Hopkins coming at you, 389 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: you know that ball is going to find you. He 390 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: was Waldo last week. They found him. He's got to 391 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 1: step up on data. Better performance here from a Dorry 392 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 1: Jackson if they're gonna go on the road and beat 393 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,959 Speaker 1: a red hot Texans team on Monday Night. The Texas 394 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: are red hot, but the guy who hasn't been red hot, 395 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: desha Watson, hasn't played his best ball. And so I 396 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: know coming off that performance since the Washing Redskins, he 397 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: wants to be efficient. He wants to be effective, he 398 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 1: wants to find his playmakers on the outside. Uh, you 399 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: talked about Dorry Jackson. I don't think of Dorry Jackson 400 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 1: can hold up against DeAndre Hawkins. Also think de Marris 401 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: Thomas can be a factor. Deshaun Wasson has to be 402 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: an effective trigger man if he plays a solid game 403 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 1: from the pocket. I think the Houston Texans have a 404 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: nice shot of winning against the Tennessee Titans. Although you 405 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,400 Speaker 1: have it, there's our our slate of games looking forward 406 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,640 Speaker 1: to a huge Week twelve in the NFL. Will you say, 407 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: let's say let's switch gears a little bit here, Let's uh, 408 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,479 Speaker 1: let's talk to some college football. And I think, Bucky, 409 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 1: I've got the perfect guy to do it all right, Buck, 410 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,400 Speaker 1: I could not be more excited to be joined by 411 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: Padres farm hand Joel Clad right now, it's something we yes, 412 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: the swinging friars here. The father's Uh, Joel, what's going on? Man? 413 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: I know you're uh, you've got some big things going on. 414 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 1: You obviously the lead analysts here for Fox. And you've 415 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: got a game that's rather important this weekend Michigan, Ohio State. 416 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,360 Speaker 1: You're not looking forward to that, are you? I mean 417 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: not at all? Right? Uh? Goodness gracious, gonna get here already. 418 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: And I've seen these teams both, I think three times already, 419 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 1: so I'm raring to go. I can't wait to do 420 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,880 Speaker 1: this game because it's I think it's the biggest game 421 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: I've ever broadcast. So I'm certainly looking forward to it. 422 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: And so Joe, so obviously, like you got, you got 423 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 1: the huge thing. Everyone is on Michigan and coach Harbor 424 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: and he has to win a big game. What are 425 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: your thoughts about the standing of the Michigan program and 426 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: how much pressure is on Harvard to win this game 427 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: against how you stay this weekend? Yeah, that's a great question. 428 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,120 Speaker 1: But first, first off, I've been really impressed with Michigan, 429 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 1: and Michigan is one of these teams that I would 430 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: call a throwback. And it's not just because of their style, 431 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: but because of of the vision that they have for 432 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 1: their team, the blueprint that they have for their team. 433 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: They play as as good a complementary football as I 434 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: think anybody in in college does, and and candidly I 435 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,120 Speaker 1: believe that that's the way that you win championships. Think 436 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: about it from this perspective. This offense is averaging fifteen 437 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: points more per game this year than they are than 438 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: they were a year ago. And yet they're not having 439 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: to do that with volume or tempo. You know, so 440 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 1: many times when we see big jumps like that, guys, 441 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: we see it with volume and tempo, and and we 442 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: don't see that with Michigan. We've just seen it with 443 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: better quarterback play UM much better play on first down, 444 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: which leads to third down conversions. Their first down improvement 445 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: this year has been off the charts. UM. They're in 446 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 1: the top five in the Power five on almost every 447 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: offensive category. We're talking about, yards per play, yards per pass, 448 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: yards per rush on first down. I think that's been 449 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 1: a huge key for them. Now why I talk about 450 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 1: that is because what it does for their defense. They 451 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: came into last week's game fourth in the country in 452 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 1: time of possession in average and just under thirty five 453 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: minutes per game time possession. Well, because of that that 454 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 1: great defense, guys with all that speed and all those 455 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: draft picks that we're going to be evaluating here in 456 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: the months to come, they've seen the fourth fewest snaps 457 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: in all of college football leading into that Indiana game. 458 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: Just to give you some sense of the volume of 459 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: snaps they've played versus other teams, they had played sixty 460 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: eight snaps less than Alabama. The FBS average in the 461 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: game is eventy snaps, so that's a game less than Alabama. 462 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: They had played a hundred and sixty eight less snaps 463 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: than Oh you, and everyone knows that o Use defense 464 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 1: is a disaster. But o Use defense, based on the 465 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: FBS average, and played two and a half games more 466 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 1: UH worth of snaps than Michigan's defense. So I think 467 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,120 Speaker 1: it's the complementary style with which they play that I've 468 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: been most impressed with, and they all buy into it. 469 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: When you talk with Shape Patterson or Karen Higden or 470 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: any of the defensive players, they say that we played 471 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: for one another, and our game plan is for one another. 472 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: And then they go out and they put it in place. 473 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 1: One thing I want to ask you about a couple 474 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: of individual players on Michigan before we get over to 475 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 1: Ohio State. I haven't had a chance to do all 476 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 1: of them. I have. I have watched and put in 477 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: my notes on Rashan Gary and Devin Bush, and just 478 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: my take real quick on on Gary to me, he 479 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 1: reminds me a lot of of Cam Jordan's coming out 480 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: of Cow. He's just a freakish size, speed combination athlete. 481 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 1: I wish he would locate the football a little bit 482 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 1: more in the production. Would that would would follow? Um? 483 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: But man, what what an a? Then? Devin Bush to me, 484 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: he's a little bit sought off, but he is a 485 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 1: phenomenal player. He's got a little bit of ro Kwan 486 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 1: Smith in him. He's he's he's got some strike to him. Um. 487 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: But I want to know, Joel, just talking to coaches 488 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,679 Speaker 1: and being around these guys the games that you've covered, 489 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 1: what what do you know about these guys? Is you 490 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: know maybe a little bit off the field or what 491 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: the personalities like? What don't we know about Gary and Bush? Yeah? 492 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 1: So so listen, everybody loves these two players around that program. 493 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 1: But to a man, if you ask, you know, like 494 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 1: who makes your defense go, they all say Devin Bush. 495 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 1: I mean to a man, whether it's Don Brown, the 496 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, the offensive coaches, they talk about his speed 497 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 1: and his ability to a sideline to sideline. Don Brown's 498 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 1: defense is one of the most successful defense is not 499 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: only because of the schematics obviously about the personnel, but 500 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: it relies on speed and man coverage and the ability 501 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: the mic linebacker to cover a lot of space. If 502 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: you don't have a mic linebacker that's going to cover 503 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 1: a lot of space, Don Brown's defense is not going 504 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: to work to the degree that it's been working over 505 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: the last few years. And Devin Bush is perfect for that. 506 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 1: He might be just a touch under size, but he 507 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 1: makes up for it with speed. He's great in terms 508 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: of closing from the alley. And what I love about 509 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,159 Speaker 1: him is that the guy when he sits down, he 510 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 1: embraces the leadership role. You know, you guys have sat 511 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 1: down with guys and you can tell that they're uncomfortable 512 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: being the guy. Devin Bush is fully comfortable in his 513 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 1: own skin being the guy on the defense with a 514 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: lot of other really good players around him. So I'm 515 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,679 Speaker 1: a huge fan of Devon Bush. With Shawn Gary, I 516 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 1: think you hit the nail on the head. He's just 517 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 1: a freakish talent um and and I think that his 518 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: size and speed combination lead people to believe that he 519 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: should be more of you know, big ten leader in sacks, 520 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: more production in terms of tackles for loss, but it 521 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: hasn't been there. I think he was slowed by injury 522 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: for the majority of the season. What I saw last 523 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: week was a guy getting more healthy against Indiana, and 524 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: I candidly think that we're going to see the best 525 00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: that we've seen from Rashaan Gary here in the next 526 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: few weeks. You know, you mentioned about needing to have 527 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: the guy the man, And when I look at Oklahoma, 528 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: and I know you've seen Oklahoma a couple of times 529 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: this year, there's no doubt in my mind that Cayla 530 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: Murray is the man. When you've had an opportunity to 531 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 1: watch as soon as play, what are your thoughts on 532 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 1: Tyler Murray and Kyler Murray and how he plays. You know, 533 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 1: at the at the beginning of the season, Bucky, I 534 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: started thinking to myself, you know, who is he comparable to? 535 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 1: I think that's what we all go go to. I mean, 536 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: I mean, DJ, you just brought up to Camp Jordan 537 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 1: with Rashawn Garty. You know, we always think of comparison, 538 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: whether I'm just doing a game or I'm evaluating the player. 539 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 1: And when I started thinking about it, you know, I 540 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 1: did Kyler's game his first week of the season, and 541 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:42,919 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, I do his second 542 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: game against u C. L A. Then we're there for 543 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: red River and I see him start coming back from 544 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 1: those twenty one points, and basically the fourth quarter he 545 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: makes that long run. Um. I think it was like 546 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 1: a sixty seven yard run where everyone has the angle 547 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 1: on him and he just beats him. Then he's making 548 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: these like dimes for is over the middle that are 549 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: layered over the linebackers. Then he makes a long throw 550 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,880 Speaker 1: down the field with arm strength. Then he shoots one 551 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 1: out to the far hash on the sideline and and 552 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: ceedee Lamb makes a catch on the sideline. And I'm 553 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,239 Speaker 1: I'm like, Bucky, I haven't seen this. Now. I'm not 554 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 1: saying he's a great pro prospect. All I'm telling you 555 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: is that I have not seen the combination of passing 556 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: ability and elite running ability with quickness like a hiccup, 557 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: you know. I mean he's at top speed on step one. 558 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: What he's doing out there endidly I've never seen before. 559 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 1: You know. He makes runs that Lamar Jackson made, but 560 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: he throws the bar ball much better than Lamar Jackson 561 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 1: never did. So I don't think it's out of the 562 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 1: question that Kyler one wins the Heisman Trophy because of 563 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: the year that he's having. He's doing the something that's 564 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: no one's ever done before in the history of the sport, 565 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 1: which is average three yards passing and sixty yards rushing 566 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: per game throughout a college football season. He's at three 567 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: oh one and sixty seven and those two categories. If 568 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,679 Speaker 1: he does that for a full year, with the stage 569 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: of playing against another Heisman you know, finalist type of 570 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: guy in Will Greer West Virginia this week, I think 571 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: he could win the hids and Trophy and then guys, 572 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: with the way the NFL is going, I don't think 573 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: it's out of the question that he gets a shot 574 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,879 Speaker 1: to play both sports at the next level. Have you 575 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 1: talked to him about that, Joel? Obviously, you know I 576 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: joked at the very top as a padre fan. What 577 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 1: it's actually true Joel. For those who don't know, Joel 578 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 1: was a draft by the Padres and play pro baseball. 579 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 1: Have you talked to Kyler Murray about that about your 580 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: your decision, your process going through that. I haven't talked 581 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: to him about my process. I asked him more about 582 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: what his thoughts were and and everything. From what I've 583 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: been because I've tried to get in touch with the 584 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: A's organization, I've I've tried to talk with Kyler about it, 585 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:49,120 Speaker 1: and nobody talks about it. Nobody wants to say anything 586 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: about it, about what's he gonna do next? What you know, 587 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 1: what's in the language of the contract um for that 588 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 1: four point six million dollars that he got for being 589 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 1: the ninth overall pick um. It was really He's strange, 590 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: you know. Lincoln Riley told told me that nobody from 591 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 1: the A's organization called him before they made that pick 592 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: in an era, in an era of due diligence, you know, 593 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 1: on the on the football side of things. I can't 594 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: tell you the number of high school coaches that I've 595 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: had to talk to before you drafted a kid, and 596 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,640 Speaker 1: that's they they talked to his college coaches for football. 597 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,880 Speaker 1: That's crazy. It's wild, and Billy Bean has not been 598 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,439 Speaker 1: out to one game, nor has talked to Lincoln after 599 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: the draft. I E like, hey, you know, maybe could 600 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 1: you take care of him? If you're you're up, there's 601 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 1: no play. I'm like, I'm like, what's going on right here? 602 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: So something's interesting. Now. He's not gonna make the four 603 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 1: point six million dollars if he doesn't play baseball, right, 604 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 1: I mean, they're not going to give him that money 605 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,160 Speaker 1: just to say that we picked you. So I think 606 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: that he's gonna go and at least give my minor 607 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,680 Speaker 1: league baseball shot. There might be some language in the contract, 608 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: very deep in there about whether he can or can't 609 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 1: play football. Um, but the year that he's having, guys, 610 00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: and more specifically, let's be honest, it's not just about 611 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: the year that he's having or the talent that he is. 612 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: It's the way that the NFL is going. It seems 613 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: like the NFL is more open now than ever to 614 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: a player like Kyler to stay at that position and 615 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: try to make a career out of it. Are you 616 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: sure they didn't just send Jonah Hill. He didn't send 617 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: Jonah Hill. They go talk believe he did send Jona 618 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 1: Hill out there. Maybe Jonah Hill has like an apartment 619 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: in Norman right now, and he just checked in on 620 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:30,880 Speaker 1: him every every night. He want you guys are involved, 621 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 1: been around organizations and draft picks, four point six million 622 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 1: dollars nights picking the draft, no communication. It was as 623 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: paranoid as everybody is nowadays. That's that's crazy to not 624 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: go uh through that. Who knows? I want to ask you, Uh, 625 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: I know you gotta run here pretty soon here, but 626 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 1: I'm so selfish here. I want to ask you a 627 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: couple more questions. Joel, come on, I'm ready. Let's let's rock. 628 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna get We'll get a chance to 629 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: chat this up a bunch as we go towards the draft. Um. 630 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: And I know it's different, you know when you're when 631 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: you're analyzing games, you're trying to taking the whole picture 632 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 1: versus doing a deep dive. You get a chance to 633 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: do as you go towards the draft. But just the 634 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 1: differences between a Will Greer and a Baker Mayfield go, yeah, 635 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: I thought, yeah, boy, that's that's the top basically basically 636 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 1: the same offense. Um, I think that what Lincoln did 637 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: for Baker was probably a little bit more player friendly 638 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: than what Dana does for Will. And that's not a 639 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: knock on Dana. It's just that Dana lets the system 640 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 1: work things out a little bit more versus Lincoln loves 641 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: to call the perfect play at the right time. Um, 642 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 1: how many times, guys, when we're evaluating Oklahoma, do you 643 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: just see somebody literally wide open? I like to call 644 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 1: it button naked naked running running through some big space afield, 645 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 1: whether it was Mark Andrews last year or Hollywood Brown. 646 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: And I don't get those as much. When I'm watching 647 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 1: West Virginia and preparing for for Will Greer, I think 648 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 1: he's got to make more height window throws then what 649 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: Baker did. He's not nearly as good and then um 650 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: improvising mode as Baker was, And I don't think he 651 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: makes the throws with quite as much velocity or accuracy 652 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 1: once he's off platform. But he's a beautiful player. He's accurate, 653 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 1: he can make all the throws. I don't want to 654 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: take anything away from him. Um. Oh gosh, That's that's 655 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: about all I can give you right now. I mean, 656 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 1: if you're asking me to select one, I would select Baker, 657 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: but it wouldn't be by a huge margin. You know, 658 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 1: I kinda want to follow up on that, but not 659 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 1: about the quarterbacks. I kind of want to talk about 660 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: the coaches. So much of the conversation in National Football 661 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 1: League has been about we have to find these innovative 662 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 1: offensive coaches. We've got to find guys that can take 663 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: these young players put them in a situation where they 664 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: can light up school boards. So in Lincoln Rally and 665 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: Dana Hogus, and you have two of the coaches who 666 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: are known for lightning up school boys. When you look 667 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: at West Virginia and Oklahoma play, what is the difference 668 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: in their offense Styleistically? I think Oklahoma is a little 669 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: bit more balanced. And the reason that they can be 670 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: balanced BUCkies, because they've got a far better offensive line. 671 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 1: West Virginia has to work around, in particular their center 672 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 1: in their right guard almost always whether it's protection in 673 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 1: the run game. Whereas Oklahoma, I would argue that this 674 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 1: year they have a top two three offensive line in 675 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 1: the in the entire sport, so they can get the 676 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: run game going, which opens up all sorts of things 677 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 1: in the RPO game opens up all sorts of things 678 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 1: things in the play action game. So it's just a 679 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: more balanced attack, and quite frankly, it's it's a more 680 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: dangerous attack because of that offensive line, whereas West Virginia 681 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 1: really is Will David Sills, Gary Jennings. You know, you've 682 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 1: got these great talented wide receivers and they just pieced 683 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: together enough run game in order to keep people honest enough, 684 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 1: But it's really more about those tight window throws, big 685 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: boy throws from Will Greer, whereas the home offense man, 686 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 1: they get more bunnies than anybody. Um, Lincoln does an 687 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 1: incredible job. I don't know if I've seen a college 688 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 1: play caller with his timing um of of just calling 689 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 1: the right thing at the right time. I think Sean 690 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 1: mcveigh's probably the best of that in the NFL game 691 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: when we saw that Monday night. Um, but Lincoln is 692 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 1: certainly kind of the Sean McVeigh of college football. He 693 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 1: dials up the correct play, I mean countless times per game, 694 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 1: eight nine times per game when you're just like, oh 695 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 1: my god, they got him. I'm up in the booth 696 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 1: saying that you know how you always did got him? 697 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 1: And he does that all the time. All Right, I'm 698 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 1: gonna let you and let you go on this one, Joel. 699 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 1: But I've got to I've got a little challenge for you, 700 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: a little homework for you as you've got this big 701 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 1: game coming up here with Ohio State in Michigan. If 702 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 1: you can get a smile out of Urban Meyer before 703 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 1: the game starts, I will buy you dinner when you 704 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: come join us on Path of the draft this spring. 705 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 1: He just needs a cheer up a little bit.

It's not 719 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 1: nearly as strong as last year's, don't you think, no question. Yeah, 720 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 1: we'll be talking a lot about pass rushers, buddy, lots 721 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 1: about them. Ratings, ratings. It's a big ratings boon when 722 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 1: that happens. And we're gonna have way to mc guys. 723 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 1: Are you already sick of the conversation that we're gonna 724 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 1: have about the parka on the sideline at Houston? Well, 725 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 1: it bit all we don't don't don't care, don't care. 726 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: He can he can wear. He come out there and 727 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 1: any jacket he wants. If if that's the guy that's 728 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 1: coming to my program, alright, we appreciate you, buddy, all right, 729 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 1: take care, all right, Buck. It's always good to chat 730 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 1: with our our good buddy there, Joel clad. I mean 731 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:19,879 Speaker 1: we could we could sit there and talk with him 732 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,320 Speaker 1: for another thirty forty minutes. I don't know. We just 733 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,360 Speaker 1: keep going and going and going talking about these players. 734 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,719 Speaker 1: One thing I love about Joel um, you can tell 735 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:30,319 Speaker 1: he does his homework. He loves what he does. I mean, 736 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: he absolutely loves it, and he kills it. He knows 737 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 1: exactly what is going on in the landscape. I thought 738 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,760 Speaker 1: the insight and intel that he brought not only about Kylin, 739 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,680 Speaker 1: Murray and West Virginia, but also when he was able 740 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 1: to talk about Michigan in the complimentary style, the play 741 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:46,880 Speaker 1: that they go from offense to defense and why it 742 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,879 Speaker 1: has helped him. I can't wait to see that game 743 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 1: this weekend. I can't wait to hear him on the call. 744 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,360 Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna sit and watch the game and 745 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 1: learn something from Oh, it's gonna be fun and uh, 746 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 1: I think with that, let's jump into some college picks here. 747 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 1: And this is Bucky's favorite part of the of the show. 748 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 1: You love it. You can't get enough of it. You 749 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,840 Speaker 1: can't get enough of it. We've got three two pointers. 750 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,279 Speaker 1: Are you ready? Let's do it all right? Let's start 751 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 1: with the big one, biggest game of the weekend. Michigan 752 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 1: on the road at Ohio State number four, Michigan number ten, 753 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 1: Ohio State. This is a playoff game, Buck, who do 754 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 1: you like? Yeah? This is this is a playoff game 755 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,799 Speaker 1: and right now is now or never for the Michigan Wolverines. 756 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,799 Speaker 1: If they can't be the higher state Buckeyes now, they'll 757 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,160 Speaker 1: never beat them. While Jim Harball as a coach. I'm 758 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 1: saying that the Wolverines go on the road and they 759 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,880 Speaker 1: get the win, they lock it up, they put themselves 760 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 1: in a position to go to the playoffs. Yeah, it 761 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:37,799 Speaker 1: is all on a t form. I agree with you 762 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,239 Speaker 1: in this one, Buck, and I will say this, I'm 763 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:44,239 Speaker 1: gonna pick Michigan to win. Kent's also picking Michigan. I'll 764 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 1: get to Sully's prediction here in just a second, but 765 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:48,880 Speaker 1: I think not only is it all set up for 766 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 1: Michigan to win this game, I might be crazy and 767 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 1: I might eat these words. You can play it back 768 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 1: and laugh at me. I think this could be kind 769 00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:59,759 Speaker 1: of like what's your deal game for Jim Harball You 770 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,239 Speaker 1: they get put their hands on them, whoop him a 771 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,160 Speaker 1: little bit. If they get it going a little bit, 772 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,879 Speaker 1: he will not call it off. That's what I'm looking 773 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,399 Speaker 1: forward to to watching this game. Whichever way it goes, 774 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 1: I don't really care who wins. I think Michigan will win. 775 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 1: I just want to see I want to see the 776 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:14,439 Speaker 1: rivalry get going a little bit. And I do think 777 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,319 Speaker 1: if Michigan gets up early, he will not call it off. 778 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,879 Speaker 1: It'll be it'll definitely get intense there and urban Myra. 779 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:22,360 Speaker 1: Will see if we talk to Joel, see if you 780 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,400 Speaker 1: can get a smile at urban Meyer in the warm upset. 781 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 1: I don't like that happening Sully, though, it's not with 782 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,680 Speaker 1: us on this one. He's going lone wolf. He's taking 783 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,719 Speaker 1: a while state at home to beat the Wolverines. I mean, 784 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 1: I can kind of understand his rationale. When the team 785 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 1: is won the fifteen out of the last seventeen, it 786 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: is hard to pick against him. It's just something about 787 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,360 Speaker 1: the mazing blue that I'm going with. I am trying 788 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 1: to say, go blue this week. I need Wolverines to 789 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,759 Speaker 1: get this win. All right, we looks like we might 790 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,839 Speaker 1: be split on this. Next game, number six Oklahoma ten 791 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,960 Speaker 1: and one, going to take on our buddy Will career, 792 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,200 Speaker 1: number thirteen in the country, West Virginia. There eight and two. 793 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,359 Speaker 1: This is a Friday game. Another two pointer, Buck, you're 794 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,320 Speaker 1: going home team US Virginia. You're gonna go Oklahoma on 795 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 1: the road. Here Will Greer and Dana Hoganson. I'm I'm 796 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,360 Speaker 1: just saying that they find a way to get it done. 797 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,279 Speaker 1: This is something that it would be a program win. 798 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,600 Speaker 1: It would really set them up. Well. Look, I know 799 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,879 Speaker 1: they had a Hiccup a week ago. But I think 800 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 1: this is will help him get back on tracking well. 801 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:18,719 Speaker 1: Will Grew. I think Will Grew has a huge game. 802 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,520 Speaker 1: I think I've picked what Will Greer to win every 803 00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:25,959 Speaker 1: single time we've had one of their games until down Oklahoma. 804 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go, I'll go tradition, and I'll go with 805 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:30,880 Speaker 1: the team that's been in these moments and been in 806 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,840 Speaker 1: these big games and they always seem to find a 807 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:35,759 Speaker 1: way to get it done. I'm gonna say Oklahoma goes 808 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 1: on the road. Kyler Murray goes off in this game. 809 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 1: I think Oklahoma wins. Kent has got West Virginia. He's 810 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,719 Speaker 1: with you, Buck, and then Sully joins me. So it's 811 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:48,080 Speaker 1: a two verses to there, Me and Sully going Oklahoma. 812 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,440 Speaker 1: You guys are going West Virginia. This I'm telling you 813 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,160 Speaker 1: can make up some ground here, Buck with these two pointers. Uh. 814 00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:57,239 Speaker 1: Washington Washington State Apple Cup Friday. Uh, this is uh 815 00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 1: winner goes to the goes to the Pack twelve Championship 816 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,040 Speaker 1: wins the an't here. Who do you like? Man? This 817 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,719 Speaker 1: is tough because everything in me always wants to say 818 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,759 Speaker 1: you dub because I love coach Peterson and what they do. 819 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,480 Speaker 1: But Washington State has been hot, They've been on a role. 820 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,239 Speaker 1: No one's been able to stop him. So I'm gonna 821 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,080 Speaker 1: continue to go with the Coops. I say, the Coops 822 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,440 Speaker 1: win the Apple Cup at the house, all right, you 823 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 1: go with the cooks.

He said. 830 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 1: They they do own them and uh, and look that. 831 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. I just believe in them. I saw 832 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,600 Speaker 1: Washington State. I know they're ten in one. I saw 833 00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,160 Speaker 1: them slop around and lose to U. S Seves not 834 00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,440 Speaker 1: any good. I just I don't know. I think Washington 835 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 1: has got better overall talent, and I think that shows 836 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,399 Speaker 1: out in this game. I think Washington gets it done. 837 00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,439 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna pick up two points there. That's nice. Thanks, 838 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:03,879 Speaker 1: thanks for that gift, everybody. Uh Auburn Alabama Iron Bowl, 839 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,319 Speaker 1: I mean, come on, these Alabama games have we ever 840 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 1: taken more than ten seconds on an Alabama game. We're 841 00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:10,319 Speaker 1: not gonna take more than ten seconds. Now we can 842 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 1: go with Bama all across the board. Yeah, Bama, everybody. Uh, 843 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:17,920 Speaker 1: Notre Dame USC, Oh, gosh eleven and oh Fighting Irish 844 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,680 Speaker 1: five and six USC, Buck, USC loses this game, No 845 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,319 Speaker 1: Bowl Game five and seven. This might be the best 846 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:29,120 Speaker 1: game that USC plays this year. This is it. This 847 00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,560 Speaker 1: is Clay hill has to put out all the stops. 848 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,400 Speaker 1: That's gonna make it very, very tough and challenging for 849 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,440 Speaker 1: the Fighting Irish. But I think they finish a bit 850 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,319 Speaker 1: of team to get this. Notre Dame is gonna run 851 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:42,040 Speaker 1: it down their throat. Josh Kelly went for almost three hundred. 852 00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:45,120 Speaker 1: Imagine what all those future NFL offensive linemen for the 853 00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 1: Irish are gonna do in this game. I think it's 854 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 1: gonna be point Irish win this. This is gonna be 855 00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,600 Speaker 1: fascinating to see what happens after this game. There'll be 856 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:55,879 Speaker 1: more intrigue after this game than during this game, because 857 00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,600 Speaker 1: after the game, it's all gonna swirl around what's happened 858 00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:00,319 Speaker 1: with Clay Hillton. First of all, Buck before we leave 859 00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,520 Speaker 1: to the next one. Uh, there was those reports out 860 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,439 Speaker 1: there about James Franklin possibly being a name for us. See, 861 00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,000 Speaker 1: how do you like that? Fit? I don't like that. 862 00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:12,239 Speaker 1: I don't at all. Why would he leave Pans State 863 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:17,960 Speaker 1: to come to SC like easier conference, more prestige program, 864 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,239 Speaker 1: more Heisman trophies, more national championships, a billion players in 865 00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,759 Speaker 1: your backyard. See, but he's a he's a p a guy. 866 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,200 Speaker 1: He grew up in Pennsylvania. He grew up in Pennsylvania. 867 00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,080 Speaker 1: He coached at Maryland. He's been up there. He's well established. 868 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:32,920 Speaker 1: Like they are loaded recruiting wise, Ohio State, in Michigan 869 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 1: every year you gotta deal with. Look who who do 870 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:41,719 Speaker 1: you deal with? In the South? Colorado, Arizona, Arizona? Stick? 871 00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:43,560 Speaker 1: Come on, I don't know. I just think it's I 872 00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,280 Speaker 1: thought it was interesting. I actually think. I actually think USC, 873 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,239 Speaker 1: if they do decide to make a change, I like 874 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:51,920 Speaker 1: them going outside the region. They need to start bringing 875 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,440 Speaker 1: in some more some East Coast kids there. Go get 876 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,440 Speaker 1: somewhere that has You're gonna get all the l A 877 00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 1: kids you want. Whoever you want there, you're gonna get, 878 00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,440 Speaker 1: But go get some linemen back east. I got a 879 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,160 Speaker 1: name for you. He's a guy who liked one of 880 00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,480 Speaker 1: your tweets the other day, Jack del Rio, Oh yeah, 881 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,200 Speaker 1: that could be the guy. Jack del Rio could be 882 00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:11,680 Speaker 1: the guy a couple of different reasons. Uh, he's a 883 00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,799 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer there at SC. UH Boosters evidently has 884 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,239 Speaker 1: a strong time with the alumni booster program. He has 885 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,759 Speaker 1: coached at the NFL level. They had success obviously when 886 00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,319 Speaker 1: they brought Pete Carolyn there. He might just be the 887 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,560 Speaker 1: right recruiter, don't. Yeah, he might be the right guy 888 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,560 Speaker 1: to kind of toughen them up and get them back 889 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:33,120 Speaker 1: to playing like SC should play running game defense all 890 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,920 Speaker 1: the tradition. There's no reason why SC should ever be 891 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 1: a five or six team. Well, discipline and toughness something 892 00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,960 Speaker 1: they do not have in that in that program right now. 893 00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,120 Speaker 1: I think del Rio would bring that. I don't. I 894 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:45,799 Speaker 1: don't hate that idea at all. All right, how about 895 00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,480 Speaker 1: South Carolina and Clemson? Is there any part of you 896 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,200 Speaker 1: that thinks that South Carolina shocks the world here? No? 897 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 1: That was quick answer. Oh yeah, we're all going Clemson there. 898 00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,840 Speaker 1: Uh you Ceef South Florida. You guys always pick against 899 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,640 Speaker 1: Mackenzie Milling. You guys always do it. I stand I 900 00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:05,080 Speaker 1: am every week. Every week I picked you see every 901 00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,279 Speaker 1: week I win. I'm a Kidzie's biggest fan. I'm going 902 00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,640 Speaker 1: with I'm going with to go tonights. You picked them 903 00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,040 Speaker 1: to lose like three times. I can't even remember. Back 904 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,520 Speaker 1: to him. Yeah, I'm going with him. Here we go. Yeah, 905 00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,520 Speaker 1: we're all going. We're all going with the with u 906 00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,280 Speaker 1: c F there. Although South Floridas got some athletes, no question, 907 00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,600 Speaker 1: Georgia Tech Georgia and we're not gonna I mean they can't. 908 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,879 Speaker 1: Georgia Tech is gonna make this one closer than you think. 909 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:28,799 Speaker 1: But actually, when now that you say that, I can 910 00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:30,640 Speaker 1: remember some of these games coming down to a field goal. 911 00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:32,360 Speaker 1: I agree with Bucky, I think, and I like what 912 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,080 Speaker 1: he tweeted last week about why don't more schools run 913 00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,680 Speaker 1: the triple option. I think Georgia Tech loses, but I 914 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:39,560 Speaker 1: expect it to be a game in the fourth quarter. 915 00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,400 Speaker 1: Paul Johnson normally plays them pretty tight. I want to, 916 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,479 Speaker 1: I want to, I wanna, uh, I want to play 917 00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,359 Speaker 1: a game with you here real quick, because I'm glad 918 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,960 Speaker 1: you mentioned that. I want to go to hold on. 919 00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna pull this thing up here. By conference. I'm 920 00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,480 Speaker 1: gonna give you a conference. Buck and along those lines, 921 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,160 Speaker 1: you tell me the team and I'll throw you a 922 00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,760 Speaker 1: couple of names out there. The team in this conference 923 00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:05,480 Speaker 1: that should run the triple option. Okay, you're ready, Okay, alright, 924 00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:08,480 Speaker 1: So if we stay in the a c C, Wake 925 00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:12,320 Speaker 1: Forest should run the triple option. Alright, right, yeah, Carolina 926 00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,560 Speaker 1: should run it. To anybody, I can't stop anybody run 927 00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:17,799 Speaker 1: run the triple option. But I mean just thinking I'm 928 00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:19,880 Speaker 1: thinking of like from a recruiting standpoint off, you're not 929 00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,239 Speaker 1: going to get the top tier guys. No, I mean 930 00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:23,680 Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's a great I think 931 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:25,560 Speaker 1: it's a great equalizer. I think it brings a level 932 00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:27,920 Speaker 1: of toughness. And if if everyone in the conference is 933 00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,799 Speaker 1: running to spread and you're doing something different, I think 934 00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,640 Speaker 1: it's avantage is. Boston College has had success in a CEC. 935 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:35,799 Speaker 1: They don't run the triple option, but they are old 936 00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:39,839 Speaker 1: school team. Yeah, like do something different. All right, let's 937 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,880 Speaker 1: go big twelve. Let's get the I mean less less miles. 938 00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,800 Speaker 1: Let's crank out the triple option here. Let's go about 939 00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:49,719 Speaker 1: that Kansas Jayhawks. That less miles. What is he gonna 940 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:53,279 Speaker 1: run there? He can't like he was running like out 941 00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:55,720 Speaker 1: of the eye. Can't do that. You couldn't You couldn't 942 00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:57,879 Speaker 1: win big at LSU running out of the you can 943 00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,239 Speaker 1: do that at Kansas you have to do is he 944 00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,560 Speaker 1: gonna do? But that's the one team in there, All right, 945 00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,320 Speaker 1: let's go uh big ten Like uh, we think Illinois, 946 00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,160 Speaker 1: you know, they have to do something different. Illinois would 947 00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,200 Speaker 1: do something different. I would say Northwestern would also be 948 00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 1: a candidate to Northwestern success. They're they're they won their 949 00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,359 Speaker 1: theyre won their division doing it the way they want 950 00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,239 Speaker 1: to do it. I would say this the other team 951 00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,360 Speaker 1: that I would say it does Nebraska. Can you go 952 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,759 Speaker 1: back to who you are? Can you go back to 953 00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:28,920 Speaker 1: being the seventies, eighties, and nineties Nebraska run the eye option, 954 00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,160 Speaker 1: do all the stuff that won a ton of games. 955 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,319 Speaker 1: They're different. Whatever reason you decided you want to be 956 00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:36,080 Speaker 1: like everybody else and then you've been average, go back 957 00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:37,799 Speaker 1: to being Nebraska. I think they would be a team 958 00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:41,360 Speaker 1: that you could use as a triple sec. Vandy Vandy. 959 00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:43,480 Speaker 1: Why is Vandy not running the trip and Vandy used 960 00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:45,799 Speaker 1: to do it years and years ago. It still go 961 00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:48,279 Speaker 1: five and six? But yeah, why not? How about how 962 00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:51,680 Speaker 1: about pack twelve? Oregon State. You know, they used to 963 00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:53,360 Speaker 1: run that way back in the day. I think Jerry 964 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,879 Speaker 1: Claiborne or somebody was out there. Old school, old school. Yeah, 965 00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:01,200 Speaker 1: that's that's my that's my call. Anyways, that's a funnle exercise. 966 00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,719 Speaker 1: It's got the sidetracked alright. Game of the week, let's 967 00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,560 Speaker 1: forget forget this. This is the game of the week, 968 00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:09,680 Speaker 1: Game of the week because the winner of this game 969 00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:14,400 Speaker 1: will host the Sun Belt Conference championship game next week. 970 00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,880 Speaker 1: And this is Troy, who was undefeated in the conference 971 00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:21,239 Speaker 1: nine and two overall or yeah, on the road to 972 00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,000 Speaker 1: take on my App State Mountaineers eight and two. They 973 00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,040 Speaker 1: have one loss in the conference, but obviously they win 974 00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:27,759 Speaker 1: this game against Troy, same record, and they have the 975 00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,239 Speaker 1: head to head. So, uh, Buck, be a good friend here. 976 00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,279 Speaker 1: You're gonna take APP State? Correct? You got? I mean 977 00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:36,760 Speaker 1: I normally would, but they're undefeated, they're undefeated, they lost, 978 00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:44,040 Speaker 1: they're undisputed. I'm gonna go with Troy. Oh, Buck, that 979 00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:51,359 Speaker 1: what is Patrick clay Banne paying you for that? Our colleague, Troy? Um. Look, 980 00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,600 Speaker 1: app App has two losses this year. Okay, they lost, 981 00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:58,400 Speaker 1: They blew a game in overtime against Penn State. They 982 00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,400 Speaker 1: should have won. They're Their loss after they had been 983 00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,000 Speaker 1: ranked for the first time in program history, was on 984 00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:08,239 Speaker 1: the road at Georgia Southern, where our starting quarterback at 985 00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:10,240 Speaker 1: app State was knocked out on I believe the second 986 00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:13,360 Speaker 1: play of the game. So when our quarterback is healthy 987 00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,759 Speaker 1: and on the field, we should basically be undefeated. And 988 00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:18,560 Speaker 1: and we're gonna put We're gonna take out the whooping 989 00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:22,800 Speaker 1: stick at home at home, and it's gonna get ugly. 990 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,680 Speaker 1: App State big, app State, real big, and then we're 991 00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:28,439 Speaker 1: gonna host the championship game the next weekend. We're gonna 992 00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:29,480 Speaker 1: do it. We do. We're gonna win the sun Butt. 993 00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:31,040 Speaker 1: I think for the third or fourth year in a row. 994 00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,840 Speaker 1: They would whole Division one thing is so overrated by 995 00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,080 Speaker 1: They wouldn't. They wouldn't, they wouldn't. They wouldn't play Georgia 996 00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,120 Speaker 1: Southern the game with they No, they're in, They're in 997 00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:41,480 Speaker 1: their division. Georgia susn't got two losses Georgia. They lucked out. 998 00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:44,239 Speaker 1: They caught us on a short weekend, our quarterback got hurt. 999 00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:46,120 Speaker 1: They may not have thorne to pass. I think they 1000 00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,480 Speaker 1: just random all they ran. They ran it a little bit. Yeah, 1001 00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:51,160 Speaker 1: they did a little bit uh last one and this 1002 00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:53,520 Speaker 1: is another great game. This see like these games are 1003 00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,720 Speaker 1: better than the Alabama and the Clemson games. Utah State 1004 00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:00,440 Speaker 1: at Boise State, great game one versus twenty three on 1005 00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:02,719 Speaker 1: the blue turf? What do you think? You know? This 1006 00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,320 Speaker 1: is tough because can't tell me about how prolific and 1007 00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:10,160 Speaker 1: hot powered that Utah State office is. But for whatever reason, 1008 00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,879 Speaker 1: I still didn't pick him. I picked Boise State. Matt 1009 00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:14,440 Speaker 1: Wells is gonna get a big job. I wouldn't be 1010 00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:16,000 Speaker 1: trying if he got the Colorado job. By the way, 1011 00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,480 Speaker 1: Utah State coach is really good. Would you pick Boise 1012 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:21,719 Speaker 1: I picked boys, I'll go. I'll go Boise as well. 1013 00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:28,080 Speaker 1: Selly's going boys can't. What do you think I got 1014 00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:30,200 Speaker 1: a ride Utah State. They've been excellent all the year. 1015 00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:33,520 Speaker 1: Is Chuckie Keaton still quarterback? He's been there for nine years? 1016 00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,040 Speaker 1: Nine years? I mean he played I felt like a 1017 00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,520 Speaker 1: full decade. They're putting up over fifty points a game 1018 00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:41,239 Speaker 1: in conference in Boise State. They're good, but I don't 1019 00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:43,160 Speaker 1: think they're good enough. I think we're gonna see Utah 1020 00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:47,360 Speaker 1: State celebrate win the Mountain Division on the blue turf. Wow, 1021 00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,520 Speaker 1: so Tyler Factor ain't walking through that door, Bobby Wagoner 1022 00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,200 Speaker 1: ain't walking through that door. Disrespect. They gona they're gonna 1023 00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,680 Speaker 1: party in the blue turf. Remember that one year, by 1024 00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:57,560 Speaker 1: the way, Buck, when the Utah State had like three 1025 00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:00,680 Speaker 1: running backs it was it was Turban.
