Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal ll that for me.
Speaker 2: I'm a man, I'm forty.
Speaker 1: I've heard so many players say, well, I want to
Speaker 1: be happy.
Speaker 2: You want to be happy for a day at the State?
Speaker 1: Is that? Whoo?
Speaker 3: Whoo?
Speaker 2: And then and tie.
Speaker 1: Dan Rubinstein are set up for? Week three? Was splunker Saturday?
Speaker 2: Yes, it was? Can confirm.
Speaker 1: I e down here in the caves, flipping on the
Speaker 1: headlamps searching for the gems within week three, searching for
Speaker 1: the Alabama offensive line. Where could they be? Yeah, in reality,
Speaker 1: we got down here and like the entrance collapsed behind
Speaker 1: us and the only way out was through. It was
Speaker 1: a survive and advance Saturday if I've ever seen one.
Speaker 1: It was sloppy, it was messy. There are many offenses
Speaker 1: that we need to try and find while we've still
Speaker 1: got battery in these here headlamps, Dan Rubinstein. But we
Speaker 1: three is just about complete. There are a couple of
Speaker 1: games going on as we come on the air live
Speaker 1: midnight Saturday. How are you good, sir? What was your
Speaker 1: reaction to week three from AFAR?
Speaker 2: First of all, I was under the impression that this
Speaker 2: was a Golden Bachelor preview show. That's what I studied
Speaker 2: because that's what I was faced with in watching Week
Speaker 2: three commercials. Okay, so this this was a terrific week.
Speaker 2: This was a terrific week because it fortified certain things,
Speaker 2: it upended certain things, and games we thought were foregone conclusions.
Speaker 1: I e.
Speaker 2: Games that you threw into your what Crispy Crimson parlay
Speaker 2: Man were full on.
Speaker 1: Res I took that Alabama game on the chin Man.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that.
Speaker 2: There are certain teams that I feel comfortable with in
Speaker 2: mid September, and we'll get there that I think we
Speaker 2: can what is the seth Sharpie, Davis Sharpie. They might
Speaker 2: be bad bad, use our boomer voice bad bad. There
Speaker 2: are certain teams or even certain elements of teams or
Speaker 2: certain units on teams. They're like, I don't think this
Speaker 2: is getting solved by Thanksgiving. No. So I loved this
Speaker 2: week and I cannot wait to deep dive into that
Speaker 2: cave ty.
Speaker 1: If you are listening live, please make sure you hit
Speaker 1: subscribe on the YouTube channel. Please make sure you're also
Speaker 1: subscribe and follow the podcast if you already do so,
Speaker 1: we'd encourage you to go out there and leave a
Speaker 1: five star rating and review. All that stuff helps bring
Speaker 1: please people into the verbowler hood. Let's start with some
Speaker 1: of our headliners, please. I think the game of the
Speaker 1: day was the Miszoo game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that was on the early slate. I think
Speaker 2: that's right considering how it ended. Sure, I think the
Speaker 2: game of the day was the Zoo game. Is he
Speaker 2: wins thirty to twenty seven. When Harrison Nevis drills an
Speaker 2: SEC record sixty one yard field goal at the gun,
Speaker 2: he had room to spare with a yellow shirt thrown
Speaker 2: on the field.
Speaker 1: I made it kind of confusing there at the end,
Speaker 1: but yes, we got there. We got there. They thought
Speaker 1: it was a flag. It wasn't a flag. Boy was
Speaker 1: pumped up and just drilled it. What a kick. The
Speaker 1: fans rushed the field. Genuinely a fun game, probably the
Speaker 1: best of the early slad, probably the best of the day.
Speaker 1: A very physical game by the end. Both quarterbacks were
Speaker 1: limping around after this one. But my takeaway from this game,
Speaker 1: outside of the fact that Maszoo played hard, that like
Speaker 1: we both like Missouri. In this game. I teetered on
Speaker 1: the brink of calling them outright victors beforehand because I
Speaker 1: just liked their chances going into this one. I knew
Speaker 1: that they'd be amped up for it. Beyond that, K
Speaker 1: State shot itself in the foot. Yeah, like many times,
Speaker 1: many times they struggled on third downs, they had a
Speaker 1: bunch of penalties, they couldn't run it at all in
Speaker 1: the second half, and they had dropped pat you name it.
Speaker 1: Whatever could go wrong did go wrong for Case States.
Speaker 1: So if you're a k State fan, you probably come
Speaker 1: out of this game feeling like, all right, a couple
Speaker 1: things go right, a couple things go in a better direction,
Speaker 1: maybe we win this one. Because they had chances, especially
Speaker 1: down the stretch. It was just Missouri getting the better
Speaker 1: of them.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm just going to start with the most fun
Speaker 2: element of this game, other than the absolute boot at
Speaker 2: the end from Harris and Mevish Luther Burden.
Speaker 1: Absolute friggin' dude.
Speaker 2: You know, comes in as one of the best recruits
Speaker 2: ever from missoo, a five star receiver. I think relatively local.
Speaker 2: I think in the St. Louis area. Don't quote me,
Speaker 2: hopefully I'm not correct or not incorrect there, but the
Speaker 2: amount of fields that he can gobble up that quickly.
Speaker 2: We we're like, oh, I think Kansas State has an angle. Nope,
Speaker 2: they don't. They don't and so what he the dynamic
Speaker 2: that he gives a Miszoo offense that so sorely needed
Speaker 2: it heading into this season, just like a stud gravitational
Speaker 2: player that is Luther Burden, and you know that that
Speaker 2: sort of tide raises all ships. Brady Cook has probably
Speaker 2: the game of his life, which also enjoyed Eli drink
Speaker 2: Witz after the game, like.
Speaker 1: I am still just a little bit peeved.
Speaker 2: Because they was getting some slack. Brady Cook was from
Speaker 2: the home crowd and Brady Cook said something at the
Speaker 2: end there, So it was it was a cool story
Speaker 2: to see. I'm sure if you're a Maszoo fan to
Speaker 2: see those kind of fireworks with that kind of attention
Speaker 2: on the program, that kind of opponent, the reigning Big
Speaker 2: twelve champion, I mean, doesn't get cooler than that if
Speaker 2: you're a Miszoo fan. And as for Kansas State, it
Speaker 2: was just it was kind of one thing after the other,
Speaker 2: right that, like they were able to count on Douce
Speaker 2: Fond to such a crazy extent last year to bail
Speaker 2: them out of potential situations like they faced themselves or
Speaker 2: that they themselves faced against Maszoo. And whether the offensive
Speaker 2: line a beat up offensive line looking sort of out
Speaker 2: of sorts at times, a secondary that looked out of
Speaker 2: sorts at times. This was a survival game, and Miszoo
Speaker 2: at home they were the team, man, they just were
Speaker 2: survive in advance. I think truly was the story of
Speaker 2: the day. You mentioned the Boo Birds for Brady Cook
Speaker 2: three point fifty six passing in two touchdowns, not a
Speaker 2: bad day. And Luther Burden. Luther Burden had more yards
Speaker 2: in three games, has war yards in three games this
Speaker 2: season than he did all of last year. Yeah, so
Speaker 2: I can't believe we're leading off correctly. So at like
Speaker 2: a week three show with like, how about that Missoo offense?
Speaker 2: We have to talk about that ahead of everything else,
Speaker 2: I mean, not incorrect.
Speaker 1: Missoo's three and oho, they've got Vandy or they've got
Speaker 1: Memphis and then Vandy on deck. Two very winnable games
Speaker 1: barring upset their five. And oh when LSU comes to
Speaker 1: town first weekend of October, which would be a big.
Speaker 2: Game now and a week ago, Miszoo fans were like,
Speaker 2: blow this whole thing up, Middle Tennessee, blow this all up.
Speaker 2: We're done so so yeah, pretty cool to say.
Speaker 1: Elsewhere Florida twenty nine Tennessee sixteen. This was one of
Speaker 1: the night games. It was one of the big dogs
Speaker 1: on our preview episode that we did on Wednesday, and
Speaker 1: Florida jumped out to a lead never really relinquished it
Speaker 1: twenty six to seven. They played solid defense, ended up
Speaker 1: winning twenty nine to sixteen. I think it's fair to
Speaker 1: wonder at this point what the future looks like for
Speaker 1: both of these teams. The rest of the way, You know,
Speaker 1: we can go into detail as for what happened here,
Speaker 1: But I found myself as I was jotting down notes,
Speaker 1: drifting to the what ifs, what if? What if what
Speaker 1: we saw from Florida, especially in the ground in this game.
Speaker 1: What if what we saw out of Graham Mertz in
Speaker 1: this game, which was not pinball statistics, but was very
Speaker 1: solid and kind of composed and within the framework of
Speaker 1: the system, Like what if these things project forward and
Speaker 1: it wasn't just a flash against Tennessee. And on the
Speaker 1: Tennessee side, what if? What if their lack of pop
Speaker 1: that I think we unfortunately saw out wide this evening
Speaker 1: is something that is more of a feature than a bug.
Speaker 2: Wow, I think it's more of a bug in this
Speaker 2: team than it was a feature, and we had come
Speaker 2: into the season thinking it was going to be a feature. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there was just there's something about Joe Milton. Even though
Speaker 2: he made plays, he'd never really seemed in rhythm. You
Speaker 2: had the turnovers, you had the sort of what I think,
Speaker 2: I guess this isn't fair to say, but I thought
Speaker 2: it was sort of uncharacteristic. Though he hasn't started a
Speaker 2: full successful season for anybody, be at Michigan or Tennessee,
Speaker 2: and so he's still finding his way. I'm sure the
Speaker 2: coaching staff is still finding their way in a Hendon
Speaker 2: Hooker list at Jalen Hyatt Liss Universe for the balls.
Speaker 2: But to me, the story was we came into the
Speaker 2: season expecting more from this Tennessee defense, and that first
Speaker 2: half look Graham Mertz wasn't incredible, but he was fine.
Speaker 2: And if Florida fans are told that Graham Ertz will
Speaker 2: be fine the rest of the year, you'll take that
Speaker 2: one hundred times. You'll be thrilled. Story is Trevor e Tm.
Speaker 2: The story is the offensive line just busting open lanes
Speaker 2: for the rushing attack, the big runs. It was a
Speaker 2: Montreal Johnson had a couple touchdowns, I believe as well.
Speaker 2: And so it was creativity for an offense that needs
Speaker 2: it because the receiving firepower doesn't seem like it's always
Speaker 2: going to be there, and certainly Graham Mertz is somebody
Speaker 2: who is going to lead this team down the field consistently.
Speaker 2: That's not going to be there this year. So you
Speaker 2: see a lot of the motion, You see the lanes
Speaker 2: being opened up in the rushing game. And look, this
Speaker 2: is also just what the universe demands of college football.
Speaker 2: Tennessee losing in Gainesville, that's just what we've gotten used
Speaker 2: to as college football fans. So I don't think this
Speaker 2: means anything dramatic for Tennessee moving forward. You know what
Speaker 2: your homework is. And for Florida, it's encouraging, especially with
Speaker 2: the recruiting class coming in that this team played with
Speaker 2: a ton of fight figurably and literally at the end
Speaker 2: of the game with the kneel down stuff and the
Speaker 2: fight and boxing, and so there was a lot of
Speaker 2: emotions were running high there. Tye, oh yeah, players getting chippy.
Speaker 2: It was. It was a very strangely officiated game at
Speaker 2: the end. There, So a cool story for Florida because
Speaker 2: I know, it would have been easy to write off
Speaker 2: the Gators after their Salt Lake City visit, but at
Speaker 2: the very least, it seems like they're going to play
Speaker 2: with some fire the rest of the year, which you're
Speaker 2: going to have two to three gram Arts games where
Speaker 2: you're like, what are we even doing? But maybe you
Speaker 2: pull one of them out because of the rest of
Speaker 2: the offense and the ability for that defense to step up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I thought he looked fine, all things considered.
Speaker 1: I thought he looked fine despite the fact that there
Speaker 1: are a few rough patches and you're early going here.
Speaker 1: He was very composed in this. Yeah, and there himself.
Speaker 1: Their ability to move the ball on the ground against
Speaker 1: Tennessee was really encouraging. I was really encouraging because Tennessee
Speaker 1: may recall, and we've talked about it all off season.
Speaker 1: Tennessee was a really good rush defense last year and
Speaker 1: one of the questions we had was, well, what's the
Speaker 1: secondary going to look like? And they get that piece
Speaker 1: of it solved. Well, Florida ran on them, And if
Speaker 1: Florida can run on other teams in the SEC, then
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it's interesting. It's a different
Speaker 1: narrative than maybe what we thought after that Utah game
Speaker 1: where they kind of got pushed around and they didn't
Speaker 1: look good outside of like the first two series. So
Speaker 1: this is encouraging if you're a Florida fan. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you caught the discussion that they had on
Speaker 1: the broadcast, by the way, then we'll move on. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about Alabama next.
Speaker 2: I didn't This was in the four wide and I
Speaker 2: didn't have audio on.
Speaker 1: They were talking. I'm not gonna say a nauseum, but
Speaker 1: they spent a few minutes of the broadcast talking about
Speaker 1: how you know, Graham Mertz got number fifteen. You know
Speaker 1: who else was number fifty right here?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 1: Yeah, the collective eye roll, yeah across the forballerhood, I'm
Speaker 1: sure was plentiful.
Speaker 2: Anyway, number fifteen, by the way, and good for Florida.
Speaker 2: Florida ran last year. Good for that. We expected them
Speaker 2: to be able to run this year and for them
Speaker 2: to step up in a big game because Florida is
Speaker 2: always going to be measured against Georgia, against Tennessee, against
Speaker 2: Florida State, and so that's a checked box.
Speaker 1: We knew, we knew they wanted to run. We didn't
Speaker 1: know if they could, and we did. They did absolutely
Speaker 1: twenty nine to sixteen. Your final, Florida gets a really
Speaker 1: big home win. Good for them. Alabama seventeen, ma'am usf three?
Speaker 1: Oh no, oh, this one hurts. This one hurts. I
Speaker 1: had Alabama minus nineteen and a half in the first
Speaker 1: half as my lock of the week. I also had
Speaker 1: Alabama minus was it thirty two? Thirty two and a
Speaker 1: half combined with over forty eight total points in the
Speaker 1: aforementioned Crispy Crimson parlay.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I made those bets after I heard about Tyler Buckner,
Speaker 1: or before I heard about Tyler Buckner. And I answered
Speaker 1: a few folks out on Twitter who messaged me saying,
Speaker 1: you still feel the same way about that bet, And
Speaker 1: I said, you know what, are gonna run all over
Speaker 1: usaf right, They're gonna run all over him. Tyler Buckner
Speaker 1: is gonna rush for one hundred yards. He'll be fine,
Speaker 1: They'll be fine. The game that you want to worry
Speaker 1: about is next week against Old miss That's the one
Speaker 1: that you want to.
Speaker 2: Dan hold on, man, jump in here, please please provide
Speaker 2: something go because I know you have a lot of
Speaker 2: emotion here.
Speaker 1: I meant much emotion.
Speaker 3: Yeah, punt, punt, punt, fumble, field goal, punt, downs, punt, downs, punt, fumble,
Speaker 3: field goal, punt, end of half downs, punt, punt, touchdown, downs, punt, punt, punt,
Speaker 3: and sap shot touchdown, and.
Speaker 1: Of good Dan, what the hell was this game? I
Speaker 1: should have known better, I should I should have canceled
Speaker 1: my bets. Oh, I should have canceled my bets when
Speaker 1: I heard about the Bucker thing. Okay, that's I should
Speaker 1: have Okay, first red flag. It was raining so damn
Speaker 1: hard in this game in the first half that ESPN
Speaker 1: first off, there was like a lightning delay, so they
Speaker 1: were delayed for like an hour or whatever it was.
Speaker 2: With only the wide camera of a It was raining.
Speaker 1: So hard that they had to evacuate the sideline camera
Speaker 1: guys and just start using a static camera like it
Speaker 1: was a high school game. And there was somebody pulling switches,
Speaker 1: just doing like a hard cut in between one and
Speaker 1: the others, so you can see the whole field for
Speaker 1: I don't know, like half the game.
Speaker 2: So there was that.
Speaker 1: The story though, is Bama's quarterback situation. Tyler Buckner gets
Speaker 1: to start. He was not good. He was five or fourteen.
Speaker 1: He was skipping passes on wide receiver screens. He didn't
Speaker 1: look comfortable. He I was Tyler Buckner's biggest fan coming
Speaker 1: out of high school. I'm not rooting against the kid.
Speaker 1: Everyone likes the kid. So I feel bad saying it,
Speaker 1: but I kind of saw this coming.
Speaker 2: Maybe not quite to this extent. When you depend on
Speaker 2: multiple ties exactly get you to a good place to college,
Speaker 2: don't do that, ever, Yeah, don't do that ever.
Speaker 1: So Tyler Buckner was in and then he was out,
Speaker 1: and they brought ty Simpson in, who came in and
Speaker 1: he was five of nine. He was a little better.
Speaker 1: He played the rest of the way.
Speaker 2: Notably no Jalen Milroe. There's gotta be more to this story, Yeah,
Speaker 2: there has. It seems like there was because the story
Speaker 2: came out. If there was an injury, if there was
Speaker 2: a suspension, if there was an argument, if there was
Speaker 2: a you know what, We're just giving you the week
Speaker 2: off to get as many reps against what we think
Speaker 2: is going to be not that much of a challenge
Speaker 2: in the Bulls. There there's gotta be something. There's gotta
Speaker 2: be three all man just to this game.
Speaker 1: Gotta be another reason why we even see Jalen Milroe,
Speaker 1: because I get it what you saw against Texas maybe
Speaker 1: wasn't all that satisfying you through two picks directly to
Speaker 1: Texas defenders. But Jalen Molroe is better than two guys
Speaker 1: you saw out there today.
Speaker 2: RG three was sort of planting that flag during the broadcast.
Speaker 2: He was like, why this is the clear order of
Speaker 2: quarterbacks on this team? Why aren't we seeing the starter?
Speaker 2: And Jala Molroe did make throws, incredible throws that Tyler
Speaker 2: Buckner and ty Simpson are nowhere near being able to make,
Speaker 2: judging by what they were were not able to do
Speaker 2: in a very soggy matchup against USF.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the deal is there. Somebody's going
Speaker 1: to ask that question and try to get to the
Speaker 1: bottom of it, I'm sure, but Jala Milroe is better
Speaker 1: than both those guys, and he didn't play at all.
Speaker 1: I felt like I was watching last year's version of
Speaker 1: the Notre Dame offense, where they were scheming around Drew
Speaker 1: Pine and just trying to do things that wouldn't get
Speaker 1: them into trouble on the offensive side of the ball
Speaker 1: because they couldn't count in the quarterback situation. Now, eventually
Speaker 1: they were able to run it with Roydl Williams, and
Speaker 1: you know, we saw some of Jase McClellan as well.
Speaker 1: But usfter their credit, did a really good job with
Speaker 1: their defensive line. Like they were getting pressure, they were
Speaker 1: finding ways to push back against a Bama offense. I
Speaker 1: very clearly wanted to control the game on the ground.
Speaker 1: They didn't allow them to do that until it got
Speaker 1: a little bit later on, and at that point it
Speaker 1: was kind of a foregone conclusion. But seventeen to three,
Speaker 1: this is not a good good showing for an Alabama
Speaker 1: offense that came in with questions and I think left
Speaker 1: with more.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, look, Rydell Williams was the back who
Speaker 2: flashed in this game. And credit us f by the way,
Speaker 2: because they smelled blood in the water. They saw this
Speaker 2: Alabama offensive line not protecting skittish quarterbacks and they just
Speaker 2: were constantly We just in the house, see should we
Speaker 2: constantly and see if they Nope, they can't. They're still
Speaker 2: not figuring out an answer. Okay, keep again like the
Speaker 2: Herb Brooks like a miracle again and it for a
Speaker 2: long time, it worked and Bama has a lot of
Speaker 2: questions about this offensive line. Obviously a lot of questions
Speaker 2: about quarterback and not being able to, uh to find
Speaker 2: somebody a successor for Bryce Young And I think it
Speaker 2: was Drake may who decommitted way back in the day,
Speaker 2: but he wasn't gonna sit two years, So I don't
Speaker 2: there's a story to be written about how Alabama has
Speaker 2: gotten to this point at quarterback. I know Tys Simpson,
Speaker 2: I think was a five star that Alabama beat out
Speaker 2: for Clemson. This might be a conversation for another day,
Speaker 2: but it is wild that we're here talking about Alabama,
Speaker 2: that they should never have an offensive line that looks
Speaker 2: like this, they should never have a quarterback situation like
Speaker 2: this specifically, and that it's a saggy USF matchup that
Speaker 2: brings that all to light.
Speaker 3: Wolf.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Wolf is Wolf is right. I was. I was
Speaker 1: messaging you like, can they fire Tommy Reese and the tarmac?
Speaker 2: What are they gonna do? What are they gonna bring
Speaker 2: that sort of squeak to the text. But yeah, it's
Speaker 2: it's tough, man.
Speaker 1: I took that one on the chin, that one hurt,
Speaker 1: that one hurt the pocketbook. I'm not gonna lie. Uh.
Speaker 1: Florida State thirty one on Boston College twenty nine. This
Speaker 1: is another weird game, and Boston College could have won
Speaker 1: this game. I don't think in earnest USF could have
Speaker 1: beaten BEMA, not the way that that game went down
Speaker 1: the stretch. But Boston College should have won. They should
Speaker 1: have won. They were down thirty one to ten at
Speaker 1: one point in the third quarter. They came all the
Speaker 1: way back for them. It was the quarterback. It was
Speaker 1: their quarterback, Thomas Castillanos, who had four hundred yards of
Speaker 1: total offense. They just made too many mistakes as a team.
Speaker 1: They committed a program record. Get this. Eighteen penalties eighteen
Speaker 1: eighteen were right there, one eight one eight for one
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty one yards, and the big one was
Speaker 1: a face mask. Right at the end. They had Florida
Speaker 1: State stopped on third and whatever they pull on the
Speaker 1: face mask, they give Florida State an automatic first down.
Speaker 1: They would have gotten the ball back inside two minutes
Speaker 1: with all the moment. They had so much moment him
Speaker 1: at that point, it was loud there and it seemed
Speaker 1: as if they had they had the emotion on their side.
Speaker 1: And that last that eighteenth penalty, which set a program record,
Speaker 1: was just a backbreaker. Florida State, for their part, felt
Speaker 1: like they were in control second quarter of this game,
Speaker 1: but then just sort of gave it all back and
Speaker 1: Jeordan Travis got hurt. Jordan Travis wobbly angle but comes
Speaker 1: back yep, yep. It was scary, scary moment, felt kind
Speaker 1: of awkwardly on his shoulder and it looked like it
Speaker 1: was sort of jammed and that was an angle, okay,
Speaker 1: And that was the point in the game. It was
Speaker 1: pretty close too, you know, So I think I think
Speaker 1: the bigger point here is that BC had some serious
Speaker 1: juice in this game. We had talked about it going
Speaker 1: into week three that there was potentially a look ahead
Speaker 1: spot here for Florida State with Clemson on deck and
Speaker 1: going to going to Boston College Chestnut Hill, like just
Speaker 1: I don't know, weird energy. The points spread was kind
Speaker 1: of bubbling, and Boblin just felt like there was more
Speaker 1: here than met the eye, and it apparently was Florida
Speaker 1: State wins by two.
Speaker 2: Florisa wins by two, favored by what a couple dozen
Speaker 2: what was the twenty.
Speaker 1: Four and a half, twenty sixth, so we're in that range.
Speaker 2: Nice connection between Jordan Travis and Johnny Wilson, who would
Speaker 2: have sort of been off I would say the first
Speaker 2: couple weeks of the season. So that's nice, a little
Speaker 2: bit concerning, And Florida A was able to run a
Speaker 2: chunk of this game, but also they weren't galloping. It
Speaker 2: wasn't Trey Benson for fifty two here, you know, so
Speaker 2: that might be a little bit concerning. But the thing,
Speaker 2: the important thing you have to remember with Boston College
Speaker 2: is they're exactly as good as all of their opponents. Apparently,
Speaker 2: they're exactly as good as Northern Illinois to whom they
Speaker 2: lose in overtime. They're exactly as good as Holy Cross,
Speaker 2: who they barely beat, and they're exactly as good as
Speaker 2: Florida State, who they barely lose two. So maybe it'll
Speaker 2: be a super entertaining year for Boston. This is in
Speaker 2: Nebraska from last year, their net net exactly competitive with everybody. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so survive in advance for Florida State. And they have
Speaker 2: Clemson this coming week, do they not?
Speaker 1: They have Clemson this coming week. Week four is setting
Speaker 1: up to be a banger. Yes, I hope you got
Speaker 1: your family duties in this week, because this is this
Speaker 1: is going to be a banger the next two weeks.
Speaker 2: Arguably, arguably I did. Yeah, Okay, where are we going next?
Speaker 1: Why don't we round out the sec because we're a
Speaker 1: couple of games here that were of interest to me.
Speaker 1: The two that obviously bubbled to the surface are Georgia
Speaker 1: South Carolina and Lsussissippi State. So Georgia one by ten
Speaker 1: over South Carolina, but trailed fourteen to three at half.
Speaker 1: After half, they shut down Spencer Ratler.
Speaker 2: Did you look at the live line by the way
Speaker 2: at the half, was it anything tasty?
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't. I was done with live lines
Speaker 1: after the Bama game.
Speaker 2: Okay, I was so excited.
Speaker 1: I was. I lost four units on the band liveline
Speaker 1: at halftime minus fourteen and a half.
Speaker 2: And they ended up winning by fourteen. Yeah, they missed
Speaker 2: it by the half.
Speaker 1: Of the hook got me? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yep? All right, okay, so they're down fourteen three.
Speaker 1: Continue, Yeah, but Spencer Rattler looked good in the first
Speaker 1: half after halftime, just six of twenty four passing for
Speaker 1: one hundred and four yards and two interceptions, so they
Speaker 1: were able to clamp down on him and win that
Speaker 1: game twenty four to fourteen. South Carolina easily covered if
Speaker 1: that's something you're interested in. On the flip side of
Speaker 1: the easy cover conversation, there is LSU. LSU was about
Speaker 1: a nine and a half point road favorite going to
Speaker 1: Starkfield to square off against Mississippi State. They won this
Speaker 1: one going away. This game was never closed. It's forty
Speaker 1: one to fourteen. LSU dominated. Jayden Daniels looked about as
Speaker 1: good as I've seen him. I don't think i've seen
Speaker 1: him look that good in a while. Three sixty four passing,
Speaker 1: two touchdowns through the air, sixty four rushing yards and
Speaker 1: two touchdowns on the ground. Neighbors had a monster pinball game.
Speaker 1: He should be a dude if we don't include him
Speaker 1: on our list. Thirteen catches, two hundred and thirty nine
Speaker 1: yards and both of those touchdown passes from Jayden Daniels.
Speaker 1: So they look really the Mississippi State offense is a disaster. Yeah,
Speaker 1: right now, it is an absolute disaster. Right now. It's
Speaker 1: brittally here. Just nothing is down the field. It's unnecessarily conservative.
Speaker 1: I don't get what they're doing. I don't know if
Speaker 1: Zach Garnett is figuring it out or if he's just
Speaker 1: very defensive minded. I don't know what their deal is,
Speaker 1: but that offense is just really really tough on the eyes.
Speaker 2: It is. I think the story is still LSU, whose
Speaker 2: offense wasn't great the first couple weeks, especially the one
Speaker 2: the week against Florida State. That connection, that connection downfield.
Speaker 2: It seems like Jaden Daniels has more trust in his
Speaker 2: receivers in that scheme in Malik Neighbors. Oh god, ty,
Speaker 2: I hate where I'm gonna go with this. Right, But
Speaker 2: isn't the like the Ashanti Fat Joe. It's about trust, Babel.
Speaker 2: It's about about trust Nabe, Right, It's about trust Nabe. No, Okay,
Speaker 2: I tried to tie quip there. That's I tried it.
Speaker 2: I'm reeling it back. I'm going back in the lab.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna start scribbling on my little architecture Easel, and
Speaker 2: I'm gonna come back with something else. No, that's the story.
Speaker 2: It's it's the LSU offense getting it together. It's the
Speaker 2: LSU defense getting after the quarterback in ways they didn't
Speaker 2: do against Florida State. Harold Perkins I think got his
Speaker 2: first sack on the year. So they got after the quarterback.
Speaker 2: They you know, when you're combining a pass rush with
Speaker 2: a downfield passing attack, your decent shape heading into the
Speaker 2: sec part of your season. So good for LSU. There
Speaker 2: The only other point on the Georgia South Carolina and
Speaker 2: then we can move on to whatever you want, is
Speaker 2: the jump scares from Spencer Rattler in the second half,
Speaker 2: where's like an outside linebacker right like there was just
Speaker 2: the South Carolina offensive line. You didn't he didn't know
Speaker 2: where it was coming from, a no sackle and he
Speaker 2: was just That's why I tweeted out from our account
Speaker 2: that Spencer Ratler is getting so much exercise today because
Speaker 2: every single snap he's just being flushed by some pass rusher.
Speaker 2: I felt bad because the opening first two or three drives,
Speaker 2: it seemed like they were just quick hitters, screen game
Speaker 2: going well, and then they just they didn't have that outpitch.
Speaker 2: As soon as the Georgia defense woke up and Georgia
Speaker 2: was going downfield more on offense themselves. Also, Dejon Edwards
Speaker 2: really nice performance for them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a boost to get him back. It
Speaker 1: was a boost for Georgia to get him back, and
Speaker 1: that's going to be the name of the game for
Speaker 1: South Carolina. They clearly fought pretty hard in this one.
Speaker 1: It is going to be a constant struggle though, of
Speaker 1: I think Spencer Rattler trying to outdo his offensive line, yes,
Speaker 1: because that was a clear weakness coming into the season, and.
Speaker 2: There's not much chi can do.
Speaker 1: It's not what you can do, right and especially going
Speaker 1: up against a team like Georgia, you just kind of
Speaker 1: know what you're signing up for there, and I thought,
Speaker 1: to his credit, did about as good as you could expect.
Speaker 1: Twenty four to fourteen is your final score. Elsewhere in
Speaker 1: the SEC, just to round things out, we had Old
Speaker 1: Miss up big over Georgia Tech. This one came on
Speaker 1: strong and came on late because this was a relatively
Speaker 1: close game for most of the way, and then Ole
Speaker 1: Miss poured it on down the stretch. Forty eight to
Speaker 1: twenty three was your final. We had Texas A and
Speaker 1: M big over Louisiana Monroe, Kentucky big over Akron thirty
Speaker 1: five to three. Nice game for Ray Davis on the
Speaker 1: ground and through the air, who was a team's leading receiver.
Speaker 1: We had Auburn forty five to thirteen over Samford. A
Speaker 1: good game for Peyton Thorn. Also one of those dual
Speaker 1: threat games. Did well through the air and on the ground,
Speaker 1: I believe was Auburn's leading rusher and the close things out.
Speaker 1: UNLV beat Vandy, Dan, I know they beat Vandy.
Speaker 2: That was That was a game that UNLV needed to
Speaker 2: go down for my Vandy Bowl. It was a spicy prediction. Yes,
Speaker 2: wasn't like me sitting with a sniff of brown liquor
Speaker 2: being measured about a prediction. It was just me being
Speaker 2: a little bit pecan pe and I got it wrong.
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? I'll jump over to the
Speaker 1: Big twelve because there was connective tissue between these two conferences,
Speaker 1: and that was BYU knocking off Arkansas. Okay, thirty eight
Speaker 1: didn't watch it one, tell me about it. Thirty eight
Speaker 1: to thirty one, BYU knocked off the Razorbacks. This is
Speaker 1: a good game. This is a really, really good game.
Speaker 1: And if you look at the box score, you're you're
Speaker 1: not really going to be knocked over by any of
Speaker 1: the stats you see on the BYU side. But I
Speaker 1: think a solid defensive effort just sort of doing what
Speaker 1: they had to do to keep this one, keep this
Speaker 1: one from getting out of hand.
Speaker 2: Absolutely good, good for the Cougars is a big win.
Speaker 1: They're three and oh now, and I know coming into
Speaker 1: the season we had some serious questions about how are
Speaker 1: they gonna fare against better competition. It's clearly a tougher
Speaker 1: schedule than what we had seen in recent years for Byu.
Speaker 1: So to start things off three and zero in this
Speaker 1: manner beating a team like Arkansas, I think is is
Speaker 1: that's going to add some pep to their step. Again,
Speaker 1: it's not like Keaton slov has split the world on fire.
Speaker 1: But they held Arkansas to something like two of thirteen
Speaker 1: on third downs. They took advantage of Arkansas shooting itself
Speaker 1: in the foot with a ton of penalties. They had
Speaker 1: something like fourteen or fifteen penalties. Byu was just more
Speaker 1: disciplined and when push came to shove, that was enough
Speaker 1: to give him the dub. So nice win, nice.
Speaker 2: Win appear seven second half points for Arkansas with what
Speaker 2: a lead at halftime?
Speaker 1: Lead at halftime?
Speaker 2: Yeah, lead at halftime, seven second half points. So I
Speaker 2: saw a lot of disappointment chatter around Danyenos.
Speaker 1: Okay, West Virginia is seventeen pit six over in the
Speaker 1: Big twelve.
Speaker 2: So at the top we said there might be a
Speaker 2: couple of teams that, even though it's Week three, might
Speaker 2: be bad bad.
Speaker 1: We used to have a bit on this show called
Speaker 1: Secretly Decent.
Speaker 2: Pit, Secretly Decent Pit. Yeah, and then secretly Decent became
Speaker 2: kind of a thing, a rallying cry around. I think
Speaker 2: for whatever reason, ACC teams always seemed to fit that.
Speaker 1: Week Secretly Decent Wake we did.
Speaker 2: Secretly Decent right, and Danny Ettling, you know, there's always
Speaker 2: like we appreciate people who seem to be batting above
Speaker 2: their reputation. Phil dr Kovic and the Pit offense they
Speaker 2: do not fit this year, and I don't may look,
Speaker 2: the offensive line is just dreadful right now.
Speaker 1: For Pit.
Speaker 2: We saw Cincinnati run over him last week, and I
Speaker 2: just it doesn't seem like they have playmakers on offense.
Speaker 2: And West Virginia scored their I think their first touchdown
Speaker 2: was off of a shorter field. They recovered an know
Speaker 2: it was a pick. It was a great pick that
Speaker 2: West Virginia had and guy ran it back near the
Speaker 2: goal line. But yeah, I don't know if the story
Speaker 2: here is the fight from Nico Mark kiel Mark, is
Speaker 2: that how you pronounce it? The lefty who steps in
Speaker 2: for an injured Garrett Green starting at quarterback. Whatever it is,
Speaker 2: you win the backyard brawl at home as a dog.
Speaker 2: You have one of the most handsome podcast hosts on
Speaker 2: the solid verbal pick you, I don't know, You're in
Speaker 2: a good place if you're West Virginia. On the pit side, Look,
Speaker 2: the defense is probably okay, it's probably fine. They made plays.
Speaker 2: The offense just seems.
Speaker 1: Like a ren I mean, first off, the box score
Speaker 1: for this game read like an Army Navy game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there are eighty seven rushing attempts in this one. And
Speaker 1: on the Pits side, pitt might be really bad on offense.
Speaker 1: They might be really bad on offense. To put this kay,
Speaker 1: I get it's a rivalry. I know emotions run high,
Speaker 1: and I get going into Morgantown at night is not
Speaker 1: an easy task. But for filder Kovic to go like
Speaker 1: eighty yards passing in three picks bad.
Speaker 2: So did you see that pick that set up the
Speaker 2: first that first I think it was the first touchdown,
Speaker 2: the little swing pass out to the tight end. It
Speaker 2: was filder Kovic rolling out to the right, pausing, noticing
Speaker 2: that nothing was there, and then threw across his body
Speaker 2: floating it downfield, and I think this was a Sean
Speaker 2: McDonough Greg McElroy game.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: McElroy was like, everybody knows you don't do that. Like
Speaker 2: he was trying to be, like to bring solid analysis
Speaker 2: and it was solid, but it came off. It was
Speaker 2: just like, can't do that, Phil, You know, you've been
Speaker 2: in college football for fourteen years at this point, not
Speaker 2: that throw. And so that was sort of encapsulating the
Speaker 2: pit evening in Morgantown.
Speaker 1: A handful of other sort of surprising results in the
Speaker 1: Big Twelve. I think that's fair to say South Alabama
Speaker 1: wins thirty three to seven over Oakie State. Yeah, Oklahoma
Speaker 1: State held to two hundred and eight yards, we can
Speaker 1: talk about that. We had Ohio knocking off Iowa State
Speaker 1: ten to seven in a dreadful football game, just a
Speaker 1: dreadful offensive football game.
Speaker 2: Culminating in Matt Campbell needing to be held back from
Speaker 2: fighting a fan or arguing with a fan who said
Speaker 2: that he was on the hot seat. Okay, Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then also we had Miami, Ohio knocking off Cincinnati
Speaker 1: battle for the Great State of Ohio thirty one to
Speaker 1: twenty four in overtime. We had Cincinnati running for two
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy three yards. They were eight of seventeen
Speaker 1: on third downs, and somehow they lost. They lost because
Speaker 1: they had too many short field goals. They couldn't convert
Speaker 1: those into points. Ultimately, that's how you lose games. And
Speaker 1: Miami Ohio is not a bad team this year. No,
Speaker 1: So those are kind of the results that I think
Speaker 1: surprised me the most. I don't know if you have
Speaker 1: thoughts in any of those. In particular, I had many
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State thoughts I have for us.
Speaker 2: Let's start there then, please. Yeah, we talked about this
Speaker 2: and we got some blowback on Look, it's a long season,
Speaker 2: this is week three. Maybe it's a situation which Oklahoma
Speaker 2: State fully turns it around. This is the wake up
Speaker 2: call they needed. Chest it's not it's not Dan, it's
Speaker 2: not and here's nice. Here here's the thing. Okay, huh.
Speaker 1: People interpret and it was mostly me who said it
Speaker 1: about Oklahoma State. People interpret what I said as me
Speaker 1: rooting against Oklahoma State. To be fair, I'm not rooting
Speaker 1: against any of these teams. This is not good. The
Speaker 1: quarterback situation's a mess. They're still playing all three quarterbacks
Speaker 1: for three weeks into the season, it appears as if
Speaker 1: they've now settled on Mike Gundy's kid, Gunner Gundy, as
Speaker 1: a starter. But I don't know. Obviously, if you will
Speaker 1: get the box score, if you'll get the final scorer,
Speaker 1: there's room to grow there. But it gets back to
Speaker 1: the point that we've been making all off season. The
Speaker 1: high school recruiting has not been good. There was a
Speaker 1: mass exodus of players who hit the portal and went elsewhere.
Speaker 1: To that point, Mike Gundy also went out and brought
Speaker 1: some guys in. But my concern with Oklahoma State was
Speaker 1: that if they're going to turn into a portal team
Speaker 1: where there's this constant turnover year in year out, it's
Speaker 1: going to be really hard to sustain success. That's not
Speaker 1: to say they can't go out there next year and
Speaker 1: put together a great class and a better quarterback situation
Speaker 1: or what better coaches, whatever it is that they think
Speaker 1: they need, organize the troops and get this thing back
Speaker 1: on the track. Okay, and maybe that springs up the
Speaker 1: high school recruiting, but all I'm saying is there's been
Speaker 1: a trend here. There's been a trend where the recruit
Speaker 1: the underlying high school recruiting has not been good, and
Speaker 1: something like three out of the last five years the
Speaker 1: team has been like a seven to eight win team
Speaker 1: a five lost team, and that to me feels like
Speaker 1: it's headed in the wrong direction. Totally separate from the
Speaker 1: fact that they won the Fiesta Bowl what two years
Speaker 1: ago against Notre Dame. Sure right, that doesn't even matter
Speaker 1: at this point in time. It just feels like the
Speaker 1: program's in a bad spot. And I get it that
Speaker 1: South Alabama plays good defense, they shouldn't lose by twenty points.
Speaker 2: This is the Damian Webb only played for one of
Speaker 2: those teams, and it wasn't the winner, and it wasn't
Speaker 2: a team that couldn't stay within what twenty five points
Speaker 2: of the winner. Dami Webb ran all over Oklahoma State
Speaker 2: as well. Let's put some respect on the Jags. It's
Speaker 2: Womack like.
Speaker 1: It just doesn't feel like it's in a good place.
Speaker 1: And if there were a gravitational player, if there were
Speaker 1: a guy that we could point to and say that's
Speaker 1: that's the guy. That's the guy. They need to get
Speaker 1: that guy the ball all the time, then they'll be
Speaker 1: They'll be fine. As they head into the tougher parts
Speaker 1: of their schedule. We haven't even gotten there yet. Then
Speaker 1: I'd feel okay about it, but I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: know who that guy is. I don't know who that
Speaker 1: quarterback is, right, I'm just I don't know. Like again,
Speaker 1: not actively rooting against Oklahoma State, but we did kind
Speaker 1: of call it. Oh my god, I love this victory.
Speaker 1: I love victory lap tie. We don't always get to
Speaker 1: take them, but we called it. You know, it's not it.
Speaker 1: This is surprising, This is surprising. This is disappointing for
Speaker 1: an Oklahoma State fan. I don't want to dunk on
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State people, of which there are many that listen
Speaker 1: to the show. Yeah, and I'm sure sure they're just
Speaker 1: as frustrated as Frankly, I am watching this game the
Speaker 1: way I did. But this is I think what I
Speaker 1: was talking about.
Speaker 2: It's okay, so big picture, if you want to draw
Speaker 2: it to other teams, we've all rooted four teams, well
Speaker 2: most of us, well now Alabama fans have. I guess
Speaker 2: we've all rooted for teams in which the quarterback situation
Speaker 2: was anytime a guy dropped back, or it was third
Speaker 2: and eight, or it was second and seventeen or an
Speaker 2: obvious passing situation where you just have that feeling of
Speaker 2: helplessness in your heart. And right now with the Oklahoma
Speaker 2: State offense as they cycle between these three guys, I'm
Speaker 2: afraid there's more of that than not. Okay, speaking of
Speaker 2: helpless quarterback play, Iowa State, Oh man, what hi?
Speaker 1: God?
Speaker 2: Was at an ugly game?
Speaker 1: What happened?
Speaker 2: I mean, look, I would Hunter Deckers be much better
Speaker 2: JJ Cole I likely not. I think this is an
Speaker 2: Iowa State thing. I think this is an offensive line
Speaker 2: thing that they have. I've been able to develop guys
Speaker 2: that you know, every so often, They've got a guy
Speaker 2: like Breise Hall or got him. Gonna go back and
Speaker 2: think of names here, so you've got your guy who
Speaker 2: you gave the terrible nickname to. His name was all.
Speaker 1: Lazard, Duke of Fizzard Almalzard, Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: And Zavier Hutchinson like they've you know, the the tight ends,
Speaker 2: Chaz Cole are all those guys. They get playmakers on offense,
Speaker 2: but the offensive line doesn't step up. And now brock
Speaker 2: Party's like the most efficient NFL quarterback after he leaves Ames.
Speaker 2: So I don't know, there's something about Iowa state internally
Speaker 2: with this offense, and maybe it's all on the line,
Speaker 2: but it's ugly.
Speaker 1: Elsewhere in the Big twelve Oklahoma sixty six to seventeen
Speaker 1: over Tulsa. I warmed up a slice of pizza. They
Speaker 1: were up twenty eight. I came downstairs. I was like,
Speaker 1: what what? How did this happen? Oklahoma wins Big. Texas
Speaker 1: was tied ten ten late into this game before they
Speaker 1: pulled away rather quickly and right after Pat forty two
Speaker 1: did that. It was a close game and it was
Speaker 1: not a drill. That was when I started trying to
Speaker 1: figure out, how do I get the long Court network
Speaker 1: on my computer? How do I watch this game?
Speaker 2: How do I pirate this game? Allegedly right right?
Speaker 1: And then you came through because you are the allegedly
Speaker 1: the grand master pirate? Yeah, wow, damn blown on my spot. Okay,
Speaker 1: Texas wins thirty one two ten. Not a great game
Speaker 1: for Quinn yours eleven to twenty one, one hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty one yards did have two touchdowns, but thirty one
Speaker 1: ten your final for Texas. We had TCU pulling away
Speaker 1: from Houston thirty six to thirteen. The out gained Houston
Speaker 1: five sixty four to two eighty so good offensive showing there.
Speaker 1: UCF big over Villanova, Texas Tech big over Tarleton State,
Speaker 1: and Baylor wins by twenty three over Long Island University.
Speaker 1: I texted with the Pope, Peter Poka this one. He says, quote,
Speaker 1: this should have been one of those good, boring, learn
Speaker 1: a little kinds of games. It was the boring kind,
Speaker 1: the bad boring kind that just felt like more of
Speaker 1: the same. The fan base is turning sour on Aranda
Speaker 1: and Grimes quickly underwhelming on offense, uninspired on defense despite
Speaker 1: a decent enough game. So there you go.
Speaker 2: Hey, win is a win.
Speaker 1: You'll take the dub, especially on surviv and Evan Saturday.
Speaker 1: I believe Kansas and Nevada is going on as we
Speaker 1: are recording, so tenall.
Speaker 2: At time of recording, I don't know how far into
Speaker 2: this game. I just saw that it was ten all.
Speaker 1: Which conference you want to go to next?
Speaker 2: Let's go to the Big ten, because I thought there
Speaker 2: was some consequential results there. Fourteen all Friday night, Virginia, Maryland,
Speaker 2: we might have ourselves. Nope, not a game at all,
Speaker 2: not a game at all as Maryland, I think because
Speaker 2: I think Virginia started this game up fourteen to nothing
Speaker 2: with Calandria making a bunch of plays. So was Maryland
Speaker 2: rattling off forty two straight and.
Speaker 1: He got off to a hot start, and we were
Speaker 1: texting each other because it seems like he has some juice.
Speaker 1: Anthony Calandria quarterback quickly and then yeah, through three picks,
Speaker 1: Virginia gave up forty two one answer to lose forty
Speaker 1: two to fourteen. Kind of a bummer, Damn.
Speaker 2: I mean, I was just hoping for more fun because
Speaker 2: the first half was really fun. And then I watched
Speaker 2: the entire game Saturday morning, I was like, well, Okay,
Speaker 2: Maryland's much better. We also were in the Big Ten.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had Penn State thirty of thirteen over Illinois.
Speaker 1: We had Iowa and a Faran's fluff up. We need
Speaker 1: a sound a Farans fluff up forty one to ten
Speaker 1: over Western Michigan. Ohio State big over Western Kentucky sixty
Speaker 1: three ten. We had Michigan over Bowling Green, though JJ
Speaker 1: threw three picks in that game. Wisconsin, I'll talk about
Speaker 1: Wisconsin a little bit, thirty five to fourteen over George's Southern.
Speaker 1: The only other games here we had Rutgers thirty five
Speaker 1: to sixteen over Virginia.
Speaker 2: Taken care of business is underrated, and Rutgers has done
Speaker 2: nothing but take care of business on their way to
Speaker 2: being what's the record tie.
Speaker 1: Three and oh baby three and oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: Sing out for our loyal Piscatawayans continue.
Speaker 1: And then we had Nebraska thirty five to eleven. I'll
Speaker 1: get to produce Syracuse when we talk about the acc
Speaker 1: But yeah, some, as you said, consequential results, right, like
Speaker 1: I think the a couple thoughts here. Firstly on the
Speaker 1: Ohio State front, much better from Ohio State. I get
Speaker 1: that it's against Western Kentucky, but going into a big
Speaker 1: game in week four on the road at Notre Dame,
Speaker 1: much much better for Kyle McCord. This is the kind
Speaker 1: of tune up you want to see before a big game.
Speaker 1: There were not a whole lot of teams in week
Speaker 1: three that were tuning up for Week four and did
Speaker 1: so in an impressive fashion. So to get one and
Speaker 1: for it to be Ohio State, knowing what they've had
Speaker 1: the last two weeks, where the defense has been solid,
Speaker 1: the offense has been sort of slowly nursed to health.
Speaker 1: Sixty three points feels good. That feels really that's a
Speaker 1: neck crack if you're Ari Wasserman or an Ohio State person, right,
Speaker 1: that's good. The Penn State game. The Penn State game
Speaker 1: is exactly what I warned about about six months ago
Speaker 1: when we did the schedule preview. Okay, and because this
Speaker 1: was your standard issue Penn State road opener in the
Speaker 1: Big Ten, standard issue, they look sluggish. Drew Aller lacked
Speaker 1: the pop. Penn State in this one owes a lot
Speaker 1: to its defense, five takeaways. They scored twenty points off
Speaker 1: those takeaways. You know, Illinois did not do themselves any favors.
Speaker 1: This was mostly Penn State's defense, I think doing the
Speaker 1: lion's share of the lifting. But thirty to thirteen, look,
Speaker 1: you'll take that road wins. It's the kind of game
Speaker 1: that doesn't excite you, but you're satisfied with the win.
Speaker 1: And now they come back home for the wide art
Speaker 1: against against Iowa next week. On the Iowa front, I
Speaker 1: mentioned the Farence fluff up thirty seconds left, they're up
Speaker 1: twenty four points, they're up thirty four to ten. Iowa
Speaker 1: runs it in for a touchdown to get to forty
Speaker 1: four one, just to get a little bit of padding
Speaker 1: for Brian have to You have to also cover the spread,
Speaker 1: which is not insignificant. When we're talking about Iowa forty
Speaker 1: one to ten, forty one to ten, well, Farence fluff
Speaker 1: up for you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Iowa look not great, but they score. They have
Speaker 2: some short fields, Kate McNamara not incredible. They get a
Speaker 2: couple of nice runs. Obviously, the defense played very well.
Speaker 2: This is what Western Michigan. I don't know. It's Iowa
Speaker 2: winning games and this is how they win games. I
Speaker 2: don't have much to add to it. Illinois on defense, actually, look,
Speaker 2: Drew Aller left a bunch out on the field. He
Speaker 2: missed a bunch of dudes. I don't know what Penn
Speaker 2: State situation is in terms of gravitational players in this moment.
Speaker 2: I don't know if they would have been better if
Speaker 2: they had a better re receiver or you know, a
Speaker 2: Hanskasicki or any of the you know, Brenton Strange. Is
Speaker 2: that a name? Did I get that name correct? If
Speaker 2: they had somebody like that a big target. Pat Fryarmuth
Speaker 2: defense was great. Illinois defense seems strong. They absolutely have
Speaker 2: dudes on this Illinois, especially the front and Luke Aaldmyer
Speaker 2: threw four picks? Was it a four pick day for
Speaker 2: Luke Aaldmeyer for Illinois? I mean, here's my take. Not
Speaker 2: good enough, No, it's not good enough. But I was
Speaker 2: encouraged by their defensive line. I think their defensive line
Speaker 2: actually lived up to some of the preseason hYP because
Speaker 2: they've got some ballers on that line.
Speaker 1: They look pretty good. They look pretty good. They were
Speaker 1: very disruptive for Penn State, and Penn State, frankly, to
Speaker 1: your point, has some questions to answer now about their
Speaker 1: offensive line, which maybe we'll find out more about that
Speaker 1: next week with Iowa coming to town. And also what
Speaker 1: the answer is out wide because they had some drop passes.
Speaker 1: I think they're still trying to figure out who is
Speaker 1: the number two behind KeAndre Lambert Smith.
Speaker 2: Okay, and.
Speaker 1: They need to figure that out sooner than later if
Speaker 1: they really want to go on a run through the
Speaker 1: Big Ten. But you'll take the win. You'll take the
Speaker 1: win on the road, absolutely will. I mentioned Wisconsin briefly.
Speaker 1: I thought Wisconsin on offense looked really bad for most
Speaker 1: of this game. And okay, they were gifted three first
Speaker 1: half interceptions, they couldn't do much of anything with it.
Speaker 1: They had six turnovers in total from Georgia Southern. They
Speaker 1: eventually pulled away in the second half. They ran the
Speaker 1: ball effectively. I think the final wise something over two
Speaker 1: hundred yards. They had five touchdowns on the ground. But
Speaker 1: it still feels to me like the offense is out
Speaker 1: of sync, which.
Speaker 2: A slow starts week after a week, and that's okay.
Speaker 2: It's a new offense, it's a new system, new coach,
Speaker 2: new coordinator, new quarterback. There's a lot of new But
Speaker 2: you'd hope that there'd be like a fourteen point first
Speaker 2: quarter thrown in here at some point. That's all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what the
Speaker 1: deal is there. We mentioned Michigan briefly. Three picks that
Speaker 1: I get there, right for.
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy, Yeah, yeah, yeah, three picks for JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 2: Defense stepped up nicely. I think this is what the
Speaker 2: final game of Jim Harbaugh's suspension before they get into Look,
Speaker 2: Rutgers is taking care of the business. Is that their
Speaker 2: game next week?
Speaker 1: It's Rutgers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's Rutgers, baby.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: If you can throw three picks against Rutgers, maybe you
Speaker 2: can beat Rutgers. Throwing three picks, but it's more difficult
Speaker 2: than bowling green. Look Blake rhum Ran Well, the defense swarmed,
Speaker 2: especially in that secondary, making plays, setting up touchdowns. JJ
Speaker 2: McCarthy made plays. He's just he's a little bit forcy
Speaker 2: in this moment, and I want him to be a
Speaker 2: little bit trusty. If I'm going to make up words
Speaker 2: and adjectives talking about Michigan, they'll be fine. But they're not.
Speaker 2: I don't know, given his experience. They're not as explosive
Speaker 2: in the passing game all of the time. We're not
Speaker 2: as smart in the passing game. Again, maybe it changes
Speaker 2: with Jim Harbaugh on the sideline, calming him down, getting
Speaker 2: him into more of a rhythm. I'm sure it will
Speaker 2: affect him positively. But yeah, Michigan not just blowing teams
Speaker 2: out of the water in this moment. Now the under
Speaker 2: with Michigan at the moment.
Speaker 1: And you mentioned Rutgers. Rutgers led wire to wire against
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech at one point up twenty one to three.
Speaker 1: Tech did pull within five, and then Rutgers went on
Speaker 1: to score fourteen on answer to close it out. But
Speaker 1: Rutgers is three and oh, Rutgers is three and oh,
Speaker 1: going into Week four on the road at Michigan. Can't
Speaker 1: throw three picks against Rutgers. I think we are at
Speaker 1: that point. Can't do that.
Speaker 2: I don't think they will, but I think they can
Speaker 2: survive it. But I would advise against it. Yeah, so
Speaker 2: not advisable. Kansas touchdown. By the way, We've been alerted
Speaker 2: in the comments, So I assume they're up seventeen to ten.
Speaker 2: Now a Tobata elsewhere in the Big Ten? Anything else
Speaker 2: stand out to you? Nebraska starts Heinrich Harberg. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: they beat North Illinois relatively reasonably. He runs well, he
Speaker 2: passes fine. It's good for Nebraska to win. It's better
Speaker 2: than losing. I did not watch this game, but I'm
Speaker 2: gonna watch it at some point early on in the week.
Speaker 2: And Matt rules first win for Big Red.
Speaker 1: Two games, two crossover games. I mentioned the Rutgers Virginia
Speaker 1: Tech side of things that peaks into the ACC. There
Speaker 1: was also Syracuse knocking off Perdue.
Speaker 2: By there was a bunch of ACC Big Ten because
Speaker 2: what duke Northwestern North Carolina, Minnesota, that's right, few.
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. We had Syracuse knocking off Perdue.
Speaker 1: We had Duke knocking off Northwestern, big game on the
Speaker 1: ground for Duke over Northwestern. I guess the show piece,
Speaker 1: as it were between these two conferences was that North
Speaker 1: Carolina Minnesota game thirty one to thirteen is your final.
Speaker 1: North Carolina wins, big game out wide for Nate McCollum,
Speaker 1: Big game out wide for Day McCollum, fifteen catches, one
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five years. I believe was targeted twenty
Speaker 1: times by Drake May, who in his own right had
Speaker 1: a monster game over four hundred yards. Finally, nice little
Speaker 1: neck crack for him. We knew he had it in him,
Speaker 1: we just haven't seen it quite yet. Drake May puts
Speaker 1: one on Minnesota. My question to you on North Carolina
Speaker 1: is this, And we talked about it in slack before
Speaker 1: we hit record. Yeah, given the nature of North Carolina schedule,
Speaker 1: which as ACC schedules go, is not all that bad. No, right,
Speaker 1: Given the nature of their schedule, it stands to reason
Speaker 1: we could go all twelve games for UNC this year
Speaker 1: and still not know if the defense is legit.
Speaker 2: I think what they look like against Miami is meaningful,
Speaker 2: especially now healthy Miami offense. That's what in two or
Speaker 2: three weeks yep. Yeah, mid October. It's in a while.
Speaker 2: It's in about a month, so they have time to
Speaker 2: even sort things out even further. But you're not wrong, Duke.
Speaker 2: I think Duke is legit. I think Clemson's fine, and
Speaker 2: that game is in Clemson. The games at Clemson, NC State,
Speaker 2: who knows. If we're gonna just give North Carolina thirty
Speaker 2: points to play with. I'm not crazy high on them
Speaker 2: because I don't think they have the depth to weather
Speaker 2: this schedule in a like a ten and two type
Speaker 2: way eight and four, nine and three. Yeah, sure absolutely.
Speaker 2: I mean the defense is already playing better than I
Speaker 2: thought they would given this is a tough start to
Speaker 2: their season. South Carolina app State Minnesota three legit programs.
Speaker 2: So good for North Carolina for taking care of business
Speaker 2: in the manner that they did. Drek May had a
Speaker 2: couple of bad picks, but didn't really matter against Minnesota.
Speaker 2: They led this. I think they led the whole time, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was a comfortable win for UNC. They had pleasant
Speaker 2: surprise from the Heels.
Speaker 1: And the Minnesota side of things is still kind of
Speaker 1: Hereson bright Spot, Darius Taylor's really fun to watch, is
Speaker 1: really fun to watch.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Gee's fun. The passing attack is attack is far
Speaker 2: is too strong a word to describe what they're trying
Speaker 2: to do through the air. And there's only so much
Speaker 2: that defense can do when the offense has no answers
Speaker 2: beyond Darius Taylor. So rooting for the rushing attack, rooting
Speaker 2: for him. But Minnesota is looking like bowl ish maybe
Speaker 2: at the moment.
Speaker 1: The other point of intersect here between the ACC and
Speaker 1: the Big Ten was Louisville, Indiana. This is one of
Speaker 1: my games of the week twenty one to fourteen. Louisville
Speaker 1: knocks off Indiana. This one was played in Indianapolis Lucas
Speaker 1: Oil Stadium. Louisville led twenty one nil at half and
Speaker 1: then sort of collapse in the second half, and Indiana's
Speaker 1: pass defense very suspect. It was very gettable at least
Speaker 1: in the first half, but second half, my guy, Raven
Speaker 1: Tavern Raven Tavan Jackson finished one yard shy of three
Speaker 1: hundred passing. It is very clear if you watch, is
Speaker 1: very clear that he's got real talent. It is very
Speaker 1: clear that Indiana's got a quarterback and that's exciting. That
Speaker 1: is exciting. So they didn't win this game. They had opportunities.
Speaker 1: I got the sense from watching Raven Tavin that he's
Speaker 1: too good for his other skill players. That receivers weren't
Speaker 1: able to handle the passes that he was so but.
Speaker 2: They've got a couple of pretty decent receivers. The number
Speaker 2: one guy is really good. But it's just I got.
Speaker 1: The sense that he was too good for the talent
Speaker 1: around him, at least in this game. Maybe that will
Speaker 1: change the deep we get into the season. But if
Speaker 1: you're an Indiana fan, good on you. If you're a
Speaker 1: Louisville fan, this is a you know, this is one
Speaker 1: of those deals where he went up big early and
Speaker 1: then hung on for the dumb man.
Speaker 2: Wish we had like Wendy's as a sponsor, we could
Speaker 2: present like a frosty, like the Moral Victory of the Week,
Speaker 2: the Scott Frost Award, Give him a frosty, the moral
Speaker 2: win of the week, the moral victory. Because maybe it's Indiana,
Speaker 2: there's a few of them. Boston College, give him a Frosty.
Speaker 2: We had Miami big over Bethune Cookman. They played this
Speaker 2: one on Thursday. It was forty eight to seven. We
Speaker 2: also in the acc had wake Forest coming from behind
Speaker 2: to knock off Old Dominion on the road, saw that
Speaker 2: twenty seven to twenty four. We had NC State forty five,
Speaker 2: vm I the Virginia Military Institute forty.
Speaker 1: Five to seven, and we finally had Clemson by a
Speaker 1: forty eight to fourteen score over FAU.
Speaker 2: Yes, in terms of crossover, I don't really have anything
Speaker 2: to add about those lower level ACC matchups, not teams
Speaker 2: per se. Garrett Schredder man.
Speaker 1: Oh Man, I wanted to bring that up. I wanted
Speaker 1: to bring that up on NBC Prime Time. Syracuse Purdue
Speaker 1: thirty five twenty is the final Syracuse wins. And there
Speaker 1: was some news that came out before this game that
Speaker 1: Rondez Gaston Junior is out for the year, which is
Speaker 1: a huge bummer, special player, and he figured to be
Speaker 1: the number one target for Garrett Schraeder. It seems as
Speaker 1: if we might get Garrett shredd Er the rest of
Speaker 1: the year. Yeah, just gonna lect him with us and Beard.
Speaker 1: He does of the beard now.
Speaker 2: No, he was good. He ran all over Purdue and
Speaker 2: there was some fight at the end, like not actual fight,
Speaker 2: but Purdue stormed back because it looked like Syracuse was
Speaker 2: going to be firmly in control. But yeah, it was.
Speaker 2: It was all Garrett Shredder all the time against the
Speaker 2: Boilers in West Lafayette. So good for QS. I know
Speaker 2: they were favorite on the road and we sort of
Speaker 2: went back and forth on that one. But yeah, in
Speaker 2: a weird looking ACCQS wins.
Speaker 1: Uh. Okay, Notre Dame forty one to seventeen over Central Michigan.
Speaker 1: There was a moment in this game where Sam Hartman
Speaker 1: got rolled up and had a defender kind of slide
Speaker 1: awkwardly into his knee and it went a weird way
Speaker 1: and then he turned and spun out of it. Okay,
Speaker 1: I damn near had a heart attack. I stood there
Speaker 1: watching my television motionless for a few minutes. Seems as
Speaker 1: if everything's okay.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. But in that moment, you didn't think you
Speaker 2: were ready for Peter Angelly.
Speaker 1: Was Steve Angeli No Steve Peter or maybe Peter's better hopefully.
Speaker 1: Definitely took a bit for Notre Dame to feel like
Speaker 1: it had this one in hand. I wish I saw
Speaker 1: more of a pass rush in the first few weeks
Speaker 1: of the season. I wish I saw a little bit
Speaker 1: more of that, because I'm not confident as I'm sure
Speaker 1: no team is confident that Notre Dame's got the secondary,
Speaker 1: the cornerbacks that can hang with the wideouts for Ohio State.
Speaker 1: M To be honest, nobody may have that secondary in
Speaker 1: college football, correct, But without the pass rush, it makes
Speaker 1: it harder and I'm worried about that. They're going to
Speaker 1: need to get pressure on Kyle McCord next week if
Speaker 1: they want to be successful against Ohio State. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about that on Wentz.
Speaker 2: Game day game. I think, right, you go to South
Speaker 2: Bend game day game. Yeah, coming through Chicago. I don't know, Tye.
Speaker 2: You could come through, eat some pizza, some media friends
Speaker 2: come through, Tye.
Speaker 1: Okay, maybe not. I tried too much going on, man, Okay,
Speaker 1: too much going on.
Speaker 2: You just sit right next to me. I'm showing people
Speaker 2: on YouTube. You can can just take up the same
Speaker 2: frame right here. Okay, continue what else? So Notre Dame
Speaker 2: the only takeaway with Sam Martin avoided serious injury in
Speaker 2: the pass rushes, leaving you wanting more.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I was glad to see that they got
Speaker 1: Tobias Merriweather involved in the passing game a little bit.
Speaker 1: I've been waiting for him to take on more of
Speaker 1: a more of a load in that receiving game, okay,
Speaker 1: and I think you know was able to step in,
Speaker 1: caught a couple of long passes. That was good to see.
Speaker 1: Let's go over to the champions or the Conference of
Speaker 1: Champions packed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got what big ten PAC twelve crossover with
Speaker 2: Washington Michigan State. I don't know if you had no
Speaker 2: ninety seconds, but that's all you really needed in this one. Yeah,
Speaker 2: speaking of games that I guess this would rise to
Speaker 2: the level of a flash fry for Washington. Yeah, boat race,
Speaker 2: whatever you want, forty.
Speaker 1: One to seven your final? Did you watch? How much
Speaker 1: did the city watch?
Speaker 2: I had to figure out. I mean I had signed
Speaker 2: up for Peacock ahead of the season, and I didn't
Speaker 2: know my password. I'm like, oh shit, and so I
Speaker 2: had to get my password. I got locked in. I
Speaker 2: watched the first I don't know, a quarter and a half.
Speaker 2: It was something like twenty eight nothing almost immediately. I
Speaker 2: don't know, what did you say when you warmed up pizza?
Speaker 2: That was your like your time metric. I mean, Washington's
Speaker 2: incredible and at least I'm specifically their passing attack on offense,
Speaker 2: but they're able to run the ball. A little bit.
Speaker 2: It wasn't the cleanest game in terms of penalties, discipline,
Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff for the Huskies. Didn't come
Speaker 2: close to mattering. Obviously, Michigan State dealing with its own
Speaker 2: issues down ahead coach indefinitely, he's gone, and offense looked terrible.
Speaker 2: I mean, Noah Kim had nowhere to go and didn't
Speaker 2: know where to look. And I think Katen Howser ended
Speaker 2: up playing some. Yes, but no, Michigan State didn't deserve
Speaker 2: to be on the same field as where Washington is
Speaker 2: right now. I mean, Roma doonsday was terrific. That the
Speaker 2: receivers are all great. No, Washington's in a great spot
Speaker 2: ahead of a schedule getting more difficult, I believe.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they look good on offense to say the least.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's saying the absolute bare minimum. So
Speaker 1: Washington wins in resounding fashion over Michigan State forty one
Speaker 1: to seven. We had Utah thirty one to seven over
Speaker 1: Weaver State. Oregon State wins twenty six to nine over
Speaker 1: San Diego State. You messaged me that DJ you didn't
Speaker 1: look very good in this one.
Speaker 2: Looked off, made some weird reads, made missed some easy
Speaker 2: ish throws. Not his best day, wasn't super accurate. They
Speaker 2: ran the ball really well. Rush was there, I mean
Speaker 2: it was what San Diego State, who's I don't know.
Speaker 2: They seem like a C plus version of themselves at
Speaker 2: the moment, but you know, beating a team and holding
Speaker 2: them to single digits and comfortably winning the entire time,
Speaker 2: it's a good thing. So good for the Beaves surviving
Speaker 2: a downish day for DJU.
Speaker 1: Elsewhere in the Pac twelve, we had col thirty one
Speaker 1: to seven over Idaho. Did't Idaho lead? At one point?
Speaker 2: Idaho I think was up seventeen to nothing and Cal
Speaker 2: then scored thirty one unanswered, But yes they did lead.
Speaker 1: Okay. We had Washington State big over Northern Colorado sixty
Speaker 1: four to twenty one. We had UCLA fifty nine to
Speaker 1: seven over North Carolina Central, your Oregon Ducks fifty five
Speaker 1: to ten over Hawaii, and sack State getting some revenge
Speaker 1: on Troy Taylor winning over Stanford thirty to twenty three.
Speaker 2: Yeah, did not think I needed to watch Sack State Stanford,
Speaker 2: even though you have the Troy Taylor connection, of course,
Speaker 2: But not a great day for Stanford from what I
Speaker 2: can tell if you're losing at home to Sack State,
Speaker 2: who is a really good FCS team? Not good enough
Speaker 2: At the moment, Fresno State is up twenty three to
Speaker 2: nothing in Tempe.
Speaker 1: Yeah, should we do the Mikey King cast again?
Speaker 2: You want to the Keen cast?
Speaker 1: The King cast.
Speaker 2: He was he's having a good game so far.
Speaker 1: Fourteen to fourteen to start the game for one hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty nine yards. Your guy, Logan Fife also came
Speaker 1: in for a run for a first down. I'm also
Speaker 1: told that Drew Pine participated at least for some portion
Speaker 1: of this.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: His first three passing plays were a strip sack fumble
Speaker 1: recovered by the defense I believe, Yeah, chased out of
Speaker 1: bounds for a one yard loss, and then another strip
Speaker 1: sack fumble that was recovered by the defense. So Drew
Speaker 1: Pine off to a rousing start for Arizona State as
Speaker 1: Fresno is up. We also have the Colorado Colorado State
Speaker 1: game that is underway. Is Colorado State currently leading? We
Speaker 1: will keep tabs on that one. Obviously it'll be over.
Speaker 2: By the time you listen.
Speaker 1: You'll know who will know who won, notably Travis Hunter
Speaker 1: in the hospital I saw that after a late hit
Speaker 1: suffered earlier in the game. We hope he is okay,
Speaker 1: and we will clearly keep you up to speed on
Speaker 1: the final results of that game. And last, but certainly
Speaker 1: not least, we've got Arizona and UTEP underway. I am
Speaker 1: not high on UTEP this year at all.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: I mean, they lost Northwestern comfortably, but yeah, Arizona should
Speaker 2: beat them. Not much take away from Oregon Hawaii other
Speaker 2: than the Oregon defense appears to be much improved. Hawi.
Speaker 2: I can throw the ball a little bit, and they
Speaker 2: could not do it against the Ducks. They rotate in
Speaker 2: a ton on defense. So Oregon bouncing back nicely from
Speaker 2: a pretty undisciplined performance, albeit in a winning effort against
Speaker 2: Texas Tech. So and this was another flashfry. It was
Speaker 2: something crazy. It was like thirty five nothing or thirty
Speaker 2: one nothing very quickly. So good for the Ducks. Taking
Speaker 2: care business is always.
Speaker 1: Underrated, always underrated. Just to breeze about college football and
Speaker 1: some other conferences plays, Army sort of want a fun
Speaker 1: one over UTSA thirty seven to two twenty nine. They
Speaker 1: played this one on Friday night. We also had let's
Speaker 1: see app State over ECU a lot of points forty
Speaker 1: three two twenty eight, TWU Lane getting back to its
Speaker 1: winning ways, twenty one to three over Southern Miss. We
Speaker 1: had a win for Georgia State over Charlotte, a win
Speaker 1: for North Texas in a fun one over Louisiana Tech
Speaker 1: forty to thirty seven. A lot of points there, yeah,
Speaker 1: New Coach and Louisiana given Trent Dilfer and l forty
Speaker 1: one to twenty one your final score in that. And
Speaker 1: also Rice a big win over Texas Southern fifty ninety seven.
Speaker 2: Good for Rice. They just keep winning.
Speaker 3: JT.
Speaker 2: Daniels, Luke mccaffry. I keep saying, McCafferty, McCaffrey, Army suffocated UTSA.
Speaker 2: That was a Frank Harris free UTSA. But that was
Speaker 2: something like forty plus minutes of like it was just
Speaker 2: a Boa constructor performance from the United States Army elsewhere
Speaker 2: yet Tulane, I think it was Kai Horton again shutting
Speaker 2: down Southern Miss. So hopefully Michael Pratt at some point,
Speaker 2: I don't know, if I don't know, if you've seen
Speaker 2: injury news, if they're just holding him out for a
Speaker 2: couple more weeks or something. Hopefully all is well. With him.
Speaker 2: I don't think there was anything. Liberty was big over Buffalo,
Speaker 2: Yukon went down to FIU. Mike McIntyre in FIU. Middle
Speaker 2: Tennessee finally gets their first win against Murray State. New
Speaker 2: Mexico State beats New Mexico in was it the Land
Speaker 2: of Enchantment?
Speaker 1: Hi?
Speaker 2: You talked? You spoke of a couple of MAC performances. Obviously,
Speaker 2: Curtis Rourke and Ohio taking down Iowa State dynasty a
Speaker 2: Rourke dynasty, and Cincinnati going down to Miami of Ohio,
Speaker 2: Toledo beat San Jose State. I don't know if there
Speaker 2: was much more notable in the Mac anything else? Tie
Speaker 2: that jumped out man, hold on, hold on?
Speaker 1: Well? Sorry, two other results here that I want to mention.
Speaker 2: I'm ready.
Speaker 1: The Maddies of James Madison also known as the Dukes
Speaker 1: three and zero now knocked off Troy sixteen to fourteen
Speaker 1: defensive struggle.
Speaker 2: Okay, nice, right, great? Good for the Dukes and what else?
Speaker 1: Texas State GJ. Kinney put up that twenty seven on
Speaker 1: Jackson State?
Speaker 2: How many? How many points did Portland State end up
Speaker 2: scoring against North American University formerly the Texas Gulf Institute,
Speaker 2: who have all sorts of crazy misspellings on their athletics website.
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on with the school. There's
Speaker 2: something different. I think they're Naia. Do you have a
Speaker 2: final score?
Speaker 1: Ninety one nothing?
Speaker 2: It was ninety one nothing?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they fell on the ball basically in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter.
Speaker 2: I'm positive there's something different about this school that I
Speaker 2: haven't quite put my finger on. Ninety ninety one to nothing?
Speaker 2: Were they playing sixth graders? What was going on? Okay? Quick,
Speaker 2: I got some dudes, ty oh, okay, please real quick,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go triple Miszoo dude, Harrison Meavis, Brady Cook
Speaker 2: and Luther Burden. They earned it, tye. How about leek
Speaker 2: Coba for West Virginia. We got that offered to us
Speaker 2: a few times. He was everywhere for the years. Trevor
Speaker 2: etn for Florida. Garrett Shredder Malik Neighbors, you've turned down
Speaker 2: my nickname. Michael Pennix absolutely shredded Michigan State on the road.
Speaker 2: Good for those dudes, and hopefully everything turns out to
Speaker 2: be fun and healthy with the Colorado matchup.
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely so. Look, here's the deal. We've got folks
Speaker 1: who probably tuned in for the referbs at this portion
Speaker 1: of the show. Yeah, being so we are down here
Speaker 1: in the caves, there was weird technical interference and therefore
Speaker 1: or reverb is gonna have to wait like a day
Speaker 1: or two. Couldn't get them together in time because of
Speaker 1: some technical issues. So we got a bunch of calls.
Speaker 1: We're gonna mix those up. We're gonna play them hopefully
Speaker 1: on Monday, and if not Monday, we'll play them at
Speaker 1: some point on ones. We'll make sure we get those reverbs.
Speaker 1: We appreciate everybody dialing in at eight five to five
Speaker 1: verbal three. That is the new phone number. We will
Speaker 1: play those in due time. We were not able to
Speaker 1: get them together today due to some technical glitches, so
Speaker 1: stay tuned for that. More fun to come here as
Speaker 1: we put a boat on all things. Week three, which
Speaker 1: means that we're about to turn the page into Week four, man,
Speaker 1: and week four is gonna be nuts. Yes, Week four
Speaker 1: is shaping up to be one of the biggest college
Speaker 1: football weekends I can remember, and Week five is not
Speaker 1: much worse. Week five is just as good as Week four,
Speaker 1: and we'll have a little bit more information at that
Speaker 1: point in time. The end of September, and maybe we'll
Speaker 1: have a better sense for who's good and who's not
Speaker 1: good because we did this entire hour of recapping. There
Speaker 1: are a great number of teams at this point in
Speaker 1: time that I really don't know what to make of them.
Speaker 1: I don't have to make us some of these teams.
Speaker 1: Week four is going to give us more insight. Week five,
Speaker 1: obviously we'll maybe we'll do a little bit better with
Speaker 1: our bets.
Speaker 2: I stand by how we did tie. Whatever we lacked
Speaker 2: in correct picks, we made up for in pure, raw,
Speaker 2: uncut enthusiasm.
