I mean, arguably, Saturday was my birthday. 15 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 2: Trent dil forgets dog walk. He gives up seventy points. 16 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 2: He had to have a MOPy sad sack postgame press 17 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 2: conference where he took responsibility. It's my fault, no kidding, Trent, 18 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 2: of course, it's your fault. You need to be out. 19 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 2: Brian Vincent should be the head coach. I'm hoping that 20 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 2: at some point they can swing that this year and 21 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 2: then diego Pavia from obscurity. Not for us, certainly from 22 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 2: obscurity coming to save Vanderbilt, not only upsetting Votec in 23 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 2: the opener, but knocking down Number one Mighty Alabama in 24 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 2: an Alzheimer game. They should have just poured molten bronze 25 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 2: on him outside the stadium and had him be a 26 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 2: statue forever, because he will be a legend in Nashville 27 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 2: for years to come. And some people on social they're 28 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 2: pointing out, hey, you know Stucky, he's been the president 29 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 2: of the PAVIA you know, fan club, and he was 30 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 2: on him early in the season. I'm gonna say this, 31 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 2: there is room on this PAVIA bandwagon. But the difference 32 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 2: is for us. Last year in obscurity, we offered up 33 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 2: this this case from Volcano High School out in Albuquerque, 34 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 2: said he was a legend, pointed out that he could 35 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,399 Speaker 2: have been a wrestler at Nebraska, JUCO national champion, part 36 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 2: of a lion, all these great things. Quick Bowl MVP 37 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 2: might add we were first, basically, you know, rallying everyone together, 38 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 2: but critically we were not the ones who snubbed him 39 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 2: for the gambling heisman. Doesn't matter how many times stuck 40 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 2: he gives out a winner with Pavia this year. He 41 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,119 Speaker 2: has to own that. Really the biggest collegeable travesty since 42 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 2: what mark Ingram won the Heisman over in Dominican sue. 43 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 2: So unfortunately they can't write that wrong. They can't go 44 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 2: back in history. We handed out our own award, the 45 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 2: Zappi Award, made sure that Diego got it and got 46 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 2: his flowers. I just couldn't be happier for the kid. 47 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 2: I was beaming the ear to ear for a Saturday 48 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 2: that I took it on the chin with my picks. 49 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 2: You know, there were some close ones, there were some blowouts. 50 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 2: App State your Defense podcast prison right to Jam right away. 51 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 2: We are not picking you for the rest of the year. 52 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 2: You were done. The defense is lifeless. So I have 53 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 2: to take ownership on some of those poor picks. But 54 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 2: the rest of it, the Dilfer and Elsion, the Pavia 55 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 2: triumphant win over Alabama, it was sweet. 56 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: I'll start with Delfer obviously, was Perik and Brian Vincent 57 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: getting a major win there. Ulm now four and one. 58 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 1: Also Pavia absolute legend hero Stucky is I'm so sick 59 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: of his shit. 60 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 2: I'm with Diego because screw you. 61 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: You want to know what's like econ one oh one, 62 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: and who like loses money? People who jump on a 63 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,119 Speaker 1: Ponzi scheme after it's popular and made it big. That's 64 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: who loses money and screws up it for the rest 65 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: of us. Not you and me. We get on the 66 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: Ponzi scheme at the top, we're screwge mcdowking it over 67 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: here with our Diego stock. So I don't want to 68 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: hear it. I'm with you. Everyone is on the bandwagon 69 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: except Stucky because he's been talking shit all year. Stucky 70 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: still holding on to that UMass game from like three 71 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: and a half years ago. God forbid. But it's election 72 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: team that coming up. I think Diego is legally the 73 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: governor of Alabama because he's now beaten Auburn and Alabama, 74 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: So I think Diego is legally the governor of the 75 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: entire state. He is just such a legend. Love him. 76 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 2: How about this a little fun fact for our legend Diego. 77 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 2: He has two sec upsets of north of two touchdowns. 78 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 2: If you take Eli and Peyton Manning and put them together, 79 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 2: they had one in their entire career. Eli upset the 80 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 2: Florida Gators when they were number six in the country 81 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 2: as a fourteen and a half point home dog in 82 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 2: Oxford they won seventeen fourteen, So kudos for Eli. Seems 83 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 2: like when you go through the history, he's won up 84 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 2: to his older brother many times. But I just want 85 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 2: to throw that out there to put in the correct 86 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 2: historical perspective how great Diego Pavia is and what he's done, 87 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 2: and not only that, just the way the game played out, 88 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 2: him being that riverboat gambler and throwing up that fourth 89 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 2: and short long bomb to the end zone. Like Alabama 90 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 2: had to know that it was just not in the 91 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 2: cards for them when he was making plays like that, 92 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 2: and certainly Malachi Moore knew, but just a little bit 93 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 2: too late for him to do anything about it. All right, 94 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 2: let's hop in some best bets. We were talking off air, 95 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 2: what a great weekend for college football, not in the 96 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 2: G five. Our four games this weekend are legendary. I'm 97 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 2: going to be out in Eugene for Ohio State Oregon. 98 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 2: If you see me out there, I'll buy you a drink, 99 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 2: happy to do it. I'm going to be there from 100 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 2: Wednesday through Sunday, so hopefully I get to see you 101 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 2: in the Pacific Northwest. But before I go we got 102 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 2: to get into our best bets. We got to give 103 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,359 Speaker 2: out some winners here because we got to get off 104 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 2: the mat last week. It was a little rough. Doesn't 105 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 2: matter that it's a thin slate in terms of what 106 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 2: we'd like. 107 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 1: Hey, we had a good weekday. We were up big 108 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: going to Saturday, and it's true. 109 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,679 Speaker 2: All right, I'm going to start here with a weekday 110 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 2: game to follow your trends. Coastal Carolina catching nine and 111 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 2: a half at James Madison. Tim Beck has been waiting 112 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 2: a really long time to be a head coach. He 113 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 2: was a head coach at Mansfield Summit High School. It's 114 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 2: in between Fort Worth and Dallas, back in two, all 115 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 2: the way through four. That's the last time he was 116 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 2: a head coach. Before taking over with the Shots, he 117 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 2: went on an eighteen year assistant run. He was at 118 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 2: many prominent programs, great offenses at Kansas, Nebraska, Ohio State, Texas, 119 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 2: n C State. He finally comes in and our take 120 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 2: on it was, how do you replace Amy Chadwell? How 121 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 2: do you replace Grayce and McCall when he goes down 122 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 2: last year, These huge shoes to fill for both him 123 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,280 Speaker 2: and his quarterback. Well, he's filling those shoes, and his 124 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 2: team is certainly stepping up. The shots are twelve and 125 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 2: six straight up under his leadership in four to one 126 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 2: to start this season. The offense is incredibly efficient. Ethan 127 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 2: Basco is running things, and running is the operative word here. 128 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 2: They are a run heavy team and they just avoid 129 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 2: negative plays. They're fourth and havoc avoidance, which is downright 130 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 2: Service Academy esque, and twenty ninth in offensive success rate, 131 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 2: so I really like that in a dog for starters. 132 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 2: They're first in pass EPA and fifth among G five 133 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 2: teams in Pro Football Focus passing Grade, so this is 134 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 2: just a buttoned up offense. They know what they're doing. 135 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 2: Tim Beck is clearly getting the best out of all 136 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 2: of his pieces, and they spread the love. They got 137 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 2: six runners, including Basco, with fifteen or more carries this year, 138 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 2: and their top three receivers basically have identical stats in 139 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 2: terms of both targets, receptions, yards, all of them pop 140 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 2: the big play of that receiving trio. They average nineteen 141 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 2: yards per game those three, So I really like what 142 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,559 Speaker 2: they bring on offense. And defensively, let's just be honest, 143 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 2: this is a mediocre G five defense, but they're a 144 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 2: little bit better against the pass, and I think the 145 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 2: good news here is that they generate turnovers. They got 146 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 2: nine takeaways in the season, which puts them twenty six 147 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 2: in the country and their top twenty five in turnover margin, 148 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 2: and that's been the difference. Obviously, the stats got skewed 149 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 2: by that North Carolina runaway, but James Madison has been 150 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 2: make or break with turnovers. The Dukes are averaging three 151 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 2: takeaways per game, which is tops in the entire country. 152 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 2: So if you protect the ball all of a sudden 153 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 2: nine and a half, even with it being in Harrisonburg, 154 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 2: seems like a lot to me. So if they can 155 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 2: keep it at zero maybe negative one in the turnover margin, 156 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 2: I think they cover this one. I'm also going to 157 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 2: say this, I think the Dukes, you know, in terms 158 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 2: of their offensive profile, I'm still questioning a little bit 159 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 2: if they have the juice to run away from every 160 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 2: team in the Sunbelt. You saw last week against Louisiana Monroe, 161 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 2: they don't win the turnover battle and then they lose 162 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 2: out right, and that was a game in which their 163 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 2: run defense got moved a little bit in the fronts. 164 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 2: You know, they end up within fifty eighty two yards 165 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 2: and a touchdown for the Warhawks star freshman running back 166 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 2: a Mott Hardy. I think if something similar can happen 167 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 2: here for the Shans, they're gonna flirt with an outright 168 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 2: win here. I understand this is on the road, it's different. 169 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 2: I'll take the nine and a half as my best bet. 170 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 2: I want to hear your take on it. Because we 171 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,559 Speaker 2: were late to the tim Beck party. We get credit 172 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 2: for being early on Diego, whereas Les it comes on 173 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 2: tim Beck. 174 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll raise my hand. Coast has been a lot 175 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: better than I thought they're going to be. I don't 176 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: really have a feel in this game. I'm obviously very 177 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: high in James Madison. I still think they're the best 178 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: team in the Sunbelt though I'm certainly not going to 179 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,599 Speaker 1: bet against them, but it's probably too much. I'm not 180 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: laying it. I don't I'm not going to bet James Madison, 181 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: but I still think i'd lean that way. I think 182 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 1: they bounce back here. I still trust Bob Jesse again 183 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 1: them off. Matt. Yeah, and like you said, I mean, 184 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,599 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's it's harder to 185 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: pull away from Sun Belt teams and ACC teams, so 186 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: I don't hate the idea of so keeping it close. 187 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: For my best bet Calbrey's at first you don't succeed, 188 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: try again. I'm going back to the ball with San 189 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: Jose State looked minus one and a half against Colorado State. 190 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: Spartans didn't cover for US against Nevada, but they did 191 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: come back squeak out a thirty five thirty one win 192 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: with former quarterback, as we point out on the show 193 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: Nick Nash throwing a late touchdown pass to win it. 194 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: And Brown really struggled in that game. It was a 195 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 1: weird game. He completed us in half as passes. He 196 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: just looked off. He was actually benched for Walker Eggott 197 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: in the middle of the game. 198 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 2: It was a weird move. 199 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: Nea Motilolo said it surprised him. He didn't know what 200 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: was happening. Stutsman just did it randomly out of nowhere. 201 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 1: He was shocked, he said in Stutts we trust So 202 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: I mean, honest, I assume to go back to Brown 203 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: in this one. But it actually looks pretty good anyway, 204 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:39,719 Speaker 1: so I'm not. 205 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 2: I think there's just a hop in I think there's 206 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:46,839 Speaker 2: a market overreaction to this quarterback controversy because I think 207 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 2: when Brown's playing well, and I agree. I watched most 208 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 2: of that game live because I had so much, you know, 209 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,839 Speaker 2: tied up in it. From a unit perspective. He didn't 210 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 2: look right. Even his face on the sideline, he just 211 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 2: like looked a little dazed. He looked kind of out 212 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 2: of it. And when the backup came in, the offense 213 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 2: was just running better. So either we get the Brown 214 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 2: we've had the entire season, or we get his backup 215 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 2: option who looks sharp. I think there's probably three points 216 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 2: in the spread that's moving away from San Jose State 217 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 2: because of the quarterback question. 218 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: Now, so like they went back to Brown like kind 219 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: of later it too like they kind of they weren't 220 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,559 Speaker 1: just like yay, you're done. They were trying to give 221 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: him a rest and then bring him back. So I 222 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: said that they go back to Brown, But you know, 223 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: Nea Montalolo said after the game that they have really struggled, 224 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: and he was open about it. The last two weeks 225 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: with mobile quarterbacks, we saw Brandon Lewis two touchdowns ninety 226 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,079 Speaker 1: yards on the ground, two scores for the air, two 227 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: through the ground. John Mattier obviously torched them for Washington State. 228 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 1: So but they won't have to worry about this that 229 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: this week. Braden Fowler Nicolosi has a grand total of 230 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,839 Speaker 1: minus six rushing yards on the season. He is a 231 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: statue out there, and Colorado State is a team that 232 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: wants to pass the ball, but they have not been 233 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: able to do it very well. So Kaler Nicolosi has 234 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 1: taken a big step backwards this year. He has just 235 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: four touchdowns four interceptions on the year. Tory Horton is 236 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: still terrific. He is a one man show out there, 237 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,599 Speaker 1: but this offense ranks one hundred and first in the 238 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: country in yards for play. San Jose State has been 239 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: much better defending the pass this year than against the run. 240 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: They're eighth in the country in passing success. Right on defense, 241 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: So I think, you know, DJ Harvey Michael Dansby are 242 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: both terrific corners. They got Isaiah Reeves who's a great tackler, 243 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: and the secondary helps keep everything in front of them. 244 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: I think the Spartans defense is well equipped to kind 245 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: of slow down the Colorado State passing attack. Oh Ya 246 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: hasn't even been that efficient anyway, And then we know 247 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: San Jose State wants to pass and Colorado State's defense 248 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,959 Speaker 1: is horrific against the past. They are one hundred and 249 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: thirty first in the country at defending the pass. The 250 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: Rams have allowed twelve passing touchdowns in five games. So, 251 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: as we mentioned at the top, whoever is playing quarterback 252 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,559 Speaker 1: in the game should really have no problem moving the 253 00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: ball on the secondary. Not to mention Calorida State coming 254 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: off a very tough loss in double overtime to Oregon State. 255 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: Their defense was on the field for seventy five plays 256 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 1: in that game. They have to be filling it this week. 257 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: I think this is a great bounce back spot for 258 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: the Spartans offense, who kind of stalled a little bit 259 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: still came out with the win. That's something they can 260 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 1: build on. Cairo State's got to be feeling after that 261 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: tough loss last week going back to the well, gimme 262 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: Santose State as a short favorite against Colorado State. 263 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 2: We can save the segment. At the end, it was 264 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 2: cutting room four for me. I was very close in 265 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 2: terms of my numbers, So I agree with you, and 266 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 2: I do think I would be surprised if Evon Brown 267 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 2: doesn't play at all in this game. I think they're 268 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 2: at least going to give him the start. Put them 269 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 2: on a short leash, and then the secondary option can 270 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 2: certainly move the football. 271 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,719 Speaker 4: Shout out to our Action Network colleague Sean Zarillo, who 272 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 4: had another great year in baseball, finishing the MLB regular 273 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 4: season up more than twenty five units.

These are our second tier picks 288 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 2: that we're hoping to get together and put a run on. 289 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,439 Speaker 2: We've done it a few times in years past where 290 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 2: we hit all of them, I believe at one point 291 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 2: this year already we went what four to zero to 292 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 2: one on one of them. So here we are again. 293 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 2: I'm going to get it started, going to go to 294 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 2: a team that I love watching win or lose, and 295 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 2: that's the UNLV runnin ReBs. But I'm going to go 296 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,199 Speaker 2: with a team total here over forty two and a 297 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 2: half points at Utah State on Friday. You run you 298 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 2: down the Aggie's hit list here. Pro Football Focus ranks 299 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 2: their defense one hundred and twenty seventh. Apparently that's generous 300 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 2: when you get into some of their other stats total 301 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 2: defense one hundred and twenty ninth, havoc generated one hundred 302 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 2: and twenty six and the game within the game here 303 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 2: when you break down how teams choose to run against 304 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 2: man against zone, against certain passing concepts, against certain running concepts. 305 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 2: You get into it and one big mismatch comes to 306 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 2: the surface. Utah State plays a ton of zone. They 307 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 2: play zone on seventy two percent of their plays, and 308 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 2: that means they're not playing any hybrid coverage in the zone. 309 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 2: Blitz is just a pure zone and they grade out 310 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 2: as a bottom thirty team nationally. When dialing up all 311 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 2: that zone defense, they're hoping to limit the explosive plays. 312 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 2: That's their hope. What does Brennan Marion's go go offense 313 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 2: do really well? It carves up zone coverage, their top 314 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 2: twenty five in success against pure zone and even better 315 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 2: when you just separate Hajj Malik Williams as the starter 316 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 2: instead of Sluca. Sluca threw off their numbers because he 317 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 2: was so inefficient as a passer. So when I look 318 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 2: at UNLV as well, forty two and a half may 319 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 2: seem like a lot of points even against a lousy defense, 320 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 2: but they have a resume to a pole. They're going 321 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 2: to be in a taste test at the end for 322 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 2: the committee between another G five champion. Potentially they need 323 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 2: to put a whooping on teams. So they can't be 324 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 2: winning by ten points in conference play. They need to 325 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 2: run it up, just as they did against Resdo State. 326 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 2: So I've already seen them do it. Taj Mahal as 327 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 2: I like to call him, he is just killing it 328 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,479 Speaker 2: this year in his two starts. If he were eligible 329 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 2: from the QBR in terms of PUER starts, t be seventeenth, 330 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 2: already fourth in G five Land behind Porvath, McLeod and 331 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 2: Daily to Service Academy quarterbacks there. So that's impressive on 332 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 2: its own, but just to put in the proper perspective 333 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 2: of how good Hajaj has been thus far, and also 334 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 2: with an overplay when it comes to team points, it's 335 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 2: really helpful if there's a chance that your defense or 336 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 2: special teams can play. I don't know if you've been 337 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 2: watching UNLV all that closely, Ianello, but Ricky White looks 338 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 2: like straight out of Beamer Ball Frank Biemer nineteen nineties, 339 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 2: Virginia Tech. He is blocking punts and a third level. 340 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: I watch these games and I feel like you and 341 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: l V've cracked the code to football, where I'm like, wait, 342 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: why doesn't every team have a six foot five guy 343 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: who can run a four to three try to block punts? 344 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: Like that's so obvious, Like why doesn't Why weren't NFL 345 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: teams having Randy Moss block punts? Like it seems like 346 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: he would do it every punt. Like I'm watching the 347 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: he's I'm like, wait a minute, this he makes it 348 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: look so easy. I'm like, why doesn't every team do this? 349 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been a game changer there, on top of 350 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 2: being rejuvenated with Hojmik Williams throwing in passes. So just 351 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 2: as a side prop, bet the odds for a special 352 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 2: team's touchdown or defensive touchdown. This game is plus two 353 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 2: to fifty out of the market. If you can get 354 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 2: even a little bit better to three to one, I 355 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 2: think that's definitely worth a look. Paus is the starter 356 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 2: for UNLV. They're averaging seven point six yards per play 357 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 2: and fifty points per game, and that was against teams 358 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 2: with a pulse in Fresno and Syracuse. So I'm going 359 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 2: over forty two and a half here against a really 360 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 2: bad defense in a get right spot after losing a 361 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 2: heartbreaker last Friday the syracusan overtime. I like U and 362 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 2: LB's team total. 363 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, the other th two you have to keep mind 364 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 1: we saw, you know kind I saw last sek with 365 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 1: poise is like, you know, this is the time of 366 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 1: year portal, and I like start throwing around the Q 367 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: word a lot of times this year, Like I think 368 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 1: it's clear clear Baylor has quit. And you think about 369 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 1: this Utah State team, who's a team who's coach was 370 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: fired in what June and the interim coach is a 371 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: guy who they hired as a defensive coordinator from New 372 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 1: Mexico State in January. So like, these players don't really 373 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 1: know him. They didn't commit to play for him, they 374 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: didn't agree to play for him. They don't even he 375 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: just got thrown on him. Now he's their head coach. 376 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 1: They're like, I didn't sign up for this. They're getting 377 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 1: their doors blown off every week. Utah State has quit 378 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: watch written all over them. And I actually had this 379 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: one on my cutting room floor as well. But I 380 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 1: was like, we ever taken a team total in the show. 381 00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 1: I actually had the team total on my cutting room 382 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:00,160 Speaker 1: floor as well. 383 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 2: So I love this pick with you. 384 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: I'm going to a weekday play. I'm going to Thursday. 385 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: I'm going Middle Tennessee plus five and a half against 386 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: LA Tech. Look, I called this shot in the preseason 387 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: and I am sticking to it here. When we were 388 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: doing our preview pod, I said this was the date 389 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 1: to start looking at Middle Tennessee State because they are 390 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,959 Speaker 1: coming off games against Ole Miss, Western, Kentucky Duke, and Memphis. 391 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,880 Speaker 1: Now they've had a bye week reset after that stretch, 392 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: get ready for conference play in a very weak conference 393 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 1: where any team can beat any team. Obviously, all of 394 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 1: Middle Tennessee's numbers are horrible, so I'm not going to 395 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: go into them, but the one thing that did stick 396 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: out in the profile is they ranked twenty second in explosiveness. 397 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: And this is something we've seen from the Bluepraders in 398 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: the past. Remember them the Miami game. What last year 399 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: two years ago when the upset my. 400 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,919 Speaker 2: Years, it was like every other play was eighty year, 401 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 2: like six if you aren't touched now. 402 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: So we've seen explosed on this out of Nick Bodado 403 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,199 Speaker 1: in this offense. Madiado's experienced quarterback who threw over three 404 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: thousand yards twenty three touchdowns last season. His leading receiver 405 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: last year, Holden Willis, switched tight end. He's now second 406 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 1: on a team in catches. He's fifth among all tight 407 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 1: ends in the country in receiving yards. They had to 408 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: replace like their other top three I want to say receivers, 409 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 1: but Auburn transfer Amari Kelly has very quickly become the 410 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: guy for them. He's averaging over ninety four yards per game, 411 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: twenty yards per catch. He's a big reason for the explosiveness. 412 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 1: Frank hasn't got hurt in the year, but Jayden Kriedle 413 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,439 Speaker 1: has stepped up fine in his absence at running back. 414 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: I'm not really concerned about the running back, and this 415 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: team has been forced to pass a lot anyway, just 416 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: because they've been losing every game. But again, Miltonnessee has 417 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 1: really sharyland defense obviously because look at the offenses they faced, 418 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: and they faced four really really good offenses and luckily 419 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 1: Louisiantax's terrible on offense. There are one hundred and thirty 420 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,199 Speaker 1: first in the country in success right on offense. They 421 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: can't pass the ball. They're even worse at running the ball. 422 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: LATEC has three hundred and eight total rushing yards on 423 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 1: the season in four games. They managed one hundred and 424 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: nine rushing yards against Nichols, They managed thirty three against 425 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,640 Speaker 1: NC State, eighty seven on Tulsa, and seventy nine yards 426 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: against Florida International. They can't run the ball at all. 427 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: David Hill under two hundred total yards against Tulsa and FYU, 428 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: who are not exactly defensive Juggernauts. Jack Turner was benched 429 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: for Evan Bullock against FYU. It doesn't matter. They both 430 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: suck and Derek Mason was a pretty solid coach at Vanderbilt. 431 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: I mean, no, Clark Lee wasn an upset in Alabama 432 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: but he had a lot of turnover on this froster 433 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 1: coming into the year, a bunch of transfers, a bunch 434 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: of new pieces. This was always going to take time. 435 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 1: They had a brutal schedule to start the year. Like 436 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: I said, I think we started to see them build 437 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 1: some things in conference play, start to improve. And I 438 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: continue to think LA Tech is one of the seven 439 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: to eight worst teams in the country. Some going to 440 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: buy law in Middle Tennessee. I think this is the 441 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 1: absolute floor of the market on them. I don't think 442 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 1: Law Tech is five and a half points better than 443 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: any team in the country other than Kent State and 444 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 1: Kennessou give me Middle Tennessee State plus five and a half. 445 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: Didn't hit it as a money line sprint? 446 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 2: You had me at fade Sunny Comby. Why don't we 447 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 2: take that momentum with a pick that I agree with? 448 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 2: Hit me with another one. 449 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: All right, let's go a little more positive, a little 450 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,959 Speaker 1: more fun. Let's keep fading the good the good fades. 451 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 1: Give me North Texas minus six and a half against FAU. 452 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: They're four to one, their lone loss coming at Texas Tech, 453 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 1: and most importantly, when they have won, they have crush teams. 454 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: They beat South Alabama by fourteen, Stephen F. Austin by fifteen, 455 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 1: Wyoming by twenty seven, Tulsa by thirty two. This offense 456 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: is averaging forty point eight points per game that is 457 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 1: good for fourteenth in the country. 458 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 2: Eric Morris is coaching like he wants another job. As 459 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 2: early as November of this season, He's like, I'm gonna 460 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 2: run it up. Put such video game numbers on my 461 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 2: resume that I immediately get that bump up, maybe to 462 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 2: a power for job or at least a really cushy 463 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:53,400 Speaker 2: G five job starting next year. 464 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, and the Morris and Morris Show CHANDL. Morris has 465 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 1: looked terrific coming in from TCU. He is third in 466 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: the country with sixteen pass touchdowns. He's averaging three hundred 467 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 1: and thirty yards per game. Washington State Ride receiver transfer 468 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: DJ Sheffield has been his favorite target, but there's eight 469 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: players on this team averaging at least twenty five receiving 470 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: yards per game. They spread it out to everyone. The 471 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,919 Speaker 1: Mean Green are very past first. When they do run 472 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: the ball, they're averaging five point two yards perry, so 473 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: you know they're affected when they do hand it off 474 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: as a whole. This offense is averaging seven point three 475 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 1: yards for play, which is fourteenth in the nation, right 476 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: between Penn State and Clemson. And not only does FAU 477 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 1: have a defense that will not be able to stop 478 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: this offense, but they have an offense that won't be 479 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: able to keep up with the Mean Green. So we 480 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: mentioned it all the time. Our boy Cam Fancher is terrible. 481 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 1: He's expected to start this game, but he's dealing with 482 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: a hand injury, which is wonderful news for North Texas 483 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,360 Speaker 1: backers because he can't throw the ball with a healthy hand, 484 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,159 Speaker 1: so loyally knows what's going to come out of it 485 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 1: in this game. He has two touchdowns five interceptions this season. 486 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 1: He hasn't going to touchdown in over a month. Sure, 487 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,919 Speaker 1: FAU look good against Wagner Will, but before that, they 488 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: got their doors blowing off against Yukon. And yes, I 489 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: know Yukon should be ranked number one in the country 490 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: based on transit of property, but they were out gained 491 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: five hundred and forty two to two point fifty by 492 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: the Hoskies in that game. And the Knee Green just 493 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: have so much more firepower than the offense. I expect 494 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: them to have no issues pulling away and they win 495 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: this game by double digits and just blow them out. 496 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: So we're practice mine six and a half against I'm 497 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: going to go with the. 498 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 2: Dog from my second addition to the G five High five. 499 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 2: I'm going to take the Buffalo Bulls plus nine and 500 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 2: a half at home against Toledo, and it starts with us. 501 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 2: Buffalo is just a well coach team period. Pete Limbo 502 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 2: was a really strong FCS coach at Lehigh and Elon. 503 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 2: He had a two year run where he won nineteen 504 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,400 Speaker 2: games at ball state, which we all know how difficult 505 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 2: it is to do that. So he has mac experience. 506 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 2: He's put this team into working order overnight. This team 507 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 2: was a mess last year. It was not one of 508 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,239 Speaker 2: the better coach teams in the entire country, and there 509 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 2: was real question about their overall level of talent. I 510 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 2: think that they have proven the doubters wrong upsetting Northern 511 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 2: Illinois as a thirteen and a half. I wish it 512 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 2: had been a fourteen point underdog because I would have 513 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 2: played it, but they went out right there. We faded 514 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 2: Toledo against Western Kentucky, hoping for Tucker Gleason to turn 515 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 2: into a Pumpkin to turn the ball over to have 516 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 2: those issues. He plays jecky and hide football. 517 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: He did. 518 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,360 Speaker 2: He threw that game away for Toledo. In his last 519 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 2: two games, he's got four picks, he's lost two fumbles, 520 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 2: and he's fumbled two more that they ended up recovering. 521 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 2: He is going to keep us in this game because 522 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 2: with the linebacking corps for Buffalo, John Dolac, Red Murdoch, 523 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 2: these are guys who can have game changing plays, interceptions, 524 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 2: forced fumbles, tracking him down, forcing him to make hasty 525 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 2: decisions and put the ball in harm's way. So I 526 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 2: feel like Buffalo is going to win the turnover margin 527 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 2: here and then all of a sudden being over that 528 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 2: key number of a touchdown. I really want this to 529 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,479 Speaker 2: get to ten. I'm going to say the same thing 530 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 2: I did a few weeks back on that UTEP play 531 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 2: by the half point, go ahead in go up to 532 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 2: minus one, thirty one, thirty five, get it to ten, 533 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 2: because I think it's going to make a difference here. 534 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 2: The Buffalo offense nothing special, nothing to write home about 535 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 2: Albana al j Jeffers Henderson. I should say in the backfield, 536 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 2: they've been fine, but they've proven in scoring thirty four 537 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 2: points against Ums and thirty against Lafayette. I knowl Jaha 538 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 2: FCS team. They're probably gonna win the Patriot League, which 539 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 2: is going to put them into the FCS playoffs, so 540 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 2: scoring thirty there as well. They've cobbled together and had 541 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 2: some successful Saturdays on the offensive side of the ball. 542 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 2: I think nine and a half is too much. My 543 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 2: numbers call for this to be six. So, like I said, 544 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 2: getting almost to two key numbers from there, ten is 545 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 2: the number I'm waiting for. But I'm going to give 546 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 2: it out officially. Year at Buffalo plus nine and a. 547 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: Half, I'll get Yeah. If you want a good way 548 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 1: to paint a picture of how much Buffalo has upgraded 549 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,719 Speaker 1: their coach this year, their coach last year is now 550 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,679 Speaker 1: the Alabama cornerbacks coach. And if you watch the Albama 551 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: corners this year, there are five star talents who have 552 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: no idea what they're doing. So that kind of says 553 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: all you need to know the Buffalo coaching changed. I'm 554 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,159 Speaker 1: gonna go with the underdog two. You're not gonna get 555 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 1: ear muffs closures. Give me Arkansas State plus fourteen against 556 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: Texas State. 557 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 2: No, I like this one. This is too many points. 558 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I just don't think these teams are fourteen points apart. 559 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 1: Arkansas State lost at Michigan and Iowa State this year. 560 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: Texa State's lots of Arizona State and Sam Houston. Those 561 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: are worst losses. Arkansas State win versus South Alabama was 562 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 1: more impressive than the Texas State win against UTSA as 563 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: as gross as the Arkansas State South Alabama game. 564 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:31,360 Speaker 2: Let we do a quick time mat Can we talk 565 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 2: about that game? Because I know that I went over 566 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 2: sixty one and a half and it didn't even come close. 567 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 2: They almost had a thousand yards of total offense in 568 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 2: that game, and I think there was one total turnover. 569 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 2: What do I have to do to get some goddamn 570 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 2: overs to hit and even close? Like they were running 571 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 2: up and down the field, Geo Lopez had like a 572 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 2: seventy yard run, you know, nullified by a hole that 573 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 2: was questionable, Like it was ridiculous here. 574 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:57,919 Speaker 1: So you're you're mad, and I get it because your 575 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: overs have been not going well year performing all that wealth. Yes, okay, 576 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: but I like this one at least had no shot 577 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 1: from the start, where like normally what your rovers do 578 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 1: is you have over sixty one and they score fifty 579 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,680 Speaker 1: seven at halftime and then have nothing in the second. 580 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 2: Like that was like a subtle jab at Texas State 581 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 2: because they have done it not once but twice this year, 582 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 2: either having scoreless fourth quarters or scoreless. We have the 583 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 2: last twenty two minutes for the game. 584 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: You have the Nebraska UTEP one. 585 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 2: I was back. Yeah, the vaunted UTEP defense now that 586 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 2: we know who they are. They stop Nebraska from the 587 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 2: one yard line three times in a row to preserve 588 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 2: that under But you mentioned that that's it for the 589 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:37,439 Speaker 2: events for me. I'm good. I'm good. 590 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: You mentioned Jalen Rayner was awesome in that game. He 591 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 1: was thirty to thirty nine for three hundred and forty 592 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 1: five yards, Like he was not the issue. And yeah, 593 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 1: Arkansas State has like bad metrics because they played good teams, 594 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,160 Speaker 1: but they pick up a ton of big plays. They're 595 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: very expelsive and then they don't allow big plays. That's 596 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: really the only thing they've done well to this point. 597 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 1: Corey Rucker is a terrific receiver. They have a bunch 598 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 1: of talented guys on the outside, Courtney Jackson and you know, 599 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 1: the Bobcats' biggest weakness has been preventing big plays. They 600 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 1: rank one hundred and thirty four one hundred and thirty 601 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 1: four in the country at preventing big plays. It's very 602 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: hard to keep track of how many teams during the 603 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 1: FBS these days. I'm pretty sure that did last in 604 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: the country as defending exposed to this, unless I'm counting wrong. 605 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: So you know, you look at this Bobcats defense. They 606 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,159 Speaker 1: have taken a step forward, for sure, but I just 607 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 1: I still think they're being overvalued. I don't think the 608 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,159 Speaker 1: defense is as good as some of their metrics indicate. 609 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 1: I think they've had some good performances against bad offenses. 610 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: And while I think Texas State's the better team, obviously 611 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: I was not that high in them coming into the year. 612 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: I haven't seen anything that's changed my mind. And fourteen 613 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: has a lot of points. And like I said, I 614 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: trust this Red Wolves offense enough to put up points 615 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: to keep this close. And the back door should be 616 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: open the whole game with the way Rainer in this 617 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: offense can score quickly. So give me Arkansas State plus fourteen. 618 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 2: Right, we have now set up the G five high five. 619 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 2: So as I mentioned, you put that together in any 620 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 2: way shape or form that you see fit. Let's get 621 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 2: to the underdog money line parlay here in week seven? 622 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 1: Where is mine? 623 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 4: Oh? 624 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 1: Where is mine? 625 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 2: Oh? I'm going to get it started at this time, 626 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 2: and I am going to go to the Great Mid 627 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 2: American Conference in Maclands. I'm going to go Central Michigan 628 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 2: plus one forty at home against Ohio. For starters, they're 629 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 2: even in my power rankings. So to have them in 630 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 2: Mount Pleasant catching you know, positive money plus one forty 631 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 2: as I mentioned, anywhere north of plus one twenty five, 632 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 2: I think it's good on the money line, but beyond 633 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 2: just the power rankings element of it, they have some 634 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 2: confidence coming in here. They beat Ball State, they beat 635 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 2: San Diego State. They're coming off a bye week. That's 636 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 2: getting their offensive staff even more opportunities in practice reps 637 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 2: to dream up some red zone packages, some short yardist 638 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 2: packages for Berta Manuel Junior, because since he's gotten healthy 639 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 2: and been on the field, he's added an extra element 640 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 2: to their rushing off as his last two games thirteen 641 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 2: carries sixty five yards two touchdowns, and when he's on 642 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 2: the field with Mary and Luke's they're a dangerous Russian combination, 643 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 2: maybe the most dangerous in the entire mac so fire 644 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 2: up chips. I like him here. I know that when 645 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 2: you look at the full time starter, it's still hanging 646 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 2: in the background. Joe Labis throwing five picks that was 647 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 2: like a month ago that FIU game. Just wipe that clean. 648 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 2: He's not been great by any stretch. I don't need 649 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 2: him to be great to beat Ohio. He just needs 650 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 2: to curtail his bad throws. And he's done that just 651 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 2: two picks across his last twelve quarters of football. So 652 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 2: he's giving me the turnover margin I'm looking for, particularly 653 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 2: in a home dog. And yes, Ohio beat South Alabama, 654 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 2: but it was without Goo Lopez. They also beat Morgan 655 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 2: State and Akron, so I am not ready to throw 656 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 2: a parade and anoint them as a team that's going 657 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 2: to go bowling. This year hasn't showed me a ton 658 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 2: park and Navarro has shown me something with his legs 659 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 2: three straight games with the rushing TDS. I think if 660 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 2: they can do a better job coming up with a 661 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 2: game plan to keep him in the pocket, this offense 662 00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 2: has kind of limitations if the running game isn't going 663 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 2: between him and Tias Third. So I think there is 664 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 2: a path forward for a win here for the Chips, 665 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 2: and if they get one, all of a sudden, they're 666 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 2: in the conversation to go bowling themselves as one of 667 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 2: the coin flip games that they need going to go 668 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 2: with the home team here. What do you think of 669 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 2: the Chip was? 670 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I like it. I absolutely like it as well. 671 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 1: I have a question for your Calbary's you ready for 672 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 1: a little vacation? Certainly we're going Alaradise, baby? 673 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 2: Oh baby? Is it snowing there in Wyoming yet? Or 674 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 2: is that next week? 675 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: I'm going Wyoming plus one fourteen against San Diego State. Look, 676 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 1: we talked about last week about San Diego State being 677 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 1: in a rebuild mode, kind of looking to the future. 678 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 1: They came away with a three point win against Hawaii. 679 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 1: It might be another team that's in jail for us. 680 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: I think we're like, oh for four betting Hawaii this year. 681 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 1: They might be in podcast prison as well, right through jail. 682 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 1: But they were out gained in that game. Why you 683 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: just couldn't keep Marcus Cooper out of the end zone. 684 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 1: It wasn't like they were that impressive. I think it 685 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: was just why I kind of played down to I mean, look, 686 00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 1: end up. The Wyoming season has not a exactly gotten 687 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 1: off to the start that I possibly imagined in the preseason. 688 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 1: Who knows, I might have thrown out that they might 689 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: be nine to one heading into Boise State. Whatever, I'm 690 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 1: an idiot. We don't have to talk about it. But 691 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 1: they did finally show some life in their last game. 692 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 1: They scored thirty one points at air Force. Evans Favoda 693 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 1: was really effective on the ground with his legs. Sam 694 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: Scott ran the ball well. The passing game has been 695 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 1: much much better since getting tight end John Michael Gillenborg back. 696 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 1: He is their leading receiver in just three games. But 697 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: this is mostly about just trusting Laradie. The Cowboys are 698 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: twenty two and eight straight up in Laramie since twenty nineteen. 699 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 1: They are eight and five straight up as a home underdog, 700 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 1: and like I said, they looked like they found something 701 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 1: the last time out. That was the best game they 702 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 1: played all year. Now they're coming off a bye week. 703 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna trust him at home. True freshmen do not 704 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 1: win in Laradie. Coom On give me Wyoming plus one fourteen. 705 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. I think this was a good wrap up on 706 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 2: who needs to go to podcast prison. 707 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 1: And there in jail if they lose this game, right 708 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 1: to jail, Right to jail right away. 709 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is basically them in front of the pro board. 710 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 2: This is their last chance to avoid any maximum detention 711 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 2: for the remainder of the college. 712 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 1: So I don't want to see you in my courtroom again. 713 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 2: I want to close out this episode by saying, you know, 714 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 2: last year, on this very day, my father passed away. 715 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 2: It was a relationship that was obviously quite important to me. 716 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 2: We had the kind of relationship where we talked every day, 717 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 2: We spent a lot of time together. We bonded over sports, particularly, 718 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 2: we bonded over college football. So I want to say 719 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 2: this to everyone, not from a place of regret, but 720 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 2: from a place of gratitude. I travel the country, I 721 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 2: got to see so many great venues with him, watch 722 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 2: so many great games, share in those moments. If you 723 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 2: have an opportunity to do that with your dad, your uncle, 724 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 2: your best friend, your buddies, getting the guys together to 725 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 2: watch a game, do it. You will not regret it. 726 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 2: And if my father cal is here right now, I'd 727 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 2: be like, even better, throw a little money on it, 728 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,799 Speaker 2: have a little action.
