Speaker 1: you Dan? How you doing?

17
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 3: I am wonderful. I was trying to think of an

18
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 3: S word to go in front of Victory Lap after

19
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 3: my Saturday, but instead I'm I'm just gonna go one

20
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 3: at a time. Other than of course that Baylor game,

21
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 3: which we got into a heated discussion about. But I

22
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 3: I feel like I am built for chaotic, nonsensical times

23
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 3: within this sport. That is what fuels me, That is

24
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 3: what drives me. Picking through the chaos, picking through the

25
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 3: rubble of nonsense. And so I'm especially excited to dive

26
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 3: into the week four recap that we have ahead.

27
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: Come on, baby, Yeah, there is definitely the feeling, the

28
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: sense that we know Alabama and Georgia are probably, at

29
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: least through four weeks, the two best teams in the country. Yeah,

30
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: and then you can kind of make a case for

31
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: like two dozen other teams to be number three. Give

32
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: me some more energy with that, give me some more energy.

33
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 4: You know.

34
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: That's a wonderful thing. Oh, it's beautiful. It's beautiful. I know, Bill,

35
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: I'm trying to like ease by way of building in broadcasting,

36
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: building into it. But we know Bill Connolly's been trying

37
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: to will the chaos scenario into existence. It's been a while, man,

38
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: it's been a while since it felt like it could

39
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: sort of go a number of different directions. So I

40
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: am thrilled at this development. To say the absolute very least.

41
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: Would you like to go through and do reverbs? I

42
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: would love to tie. I need that emotion. Give it

43
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: to me. Let's bring the emotion. Four weight. Verbal one

44
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: was the phone number we had people calling all into

45
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: the hours of the night. Some calling while I was

46
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: actually downloading the messages, and I thought about answering. At

47
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: about twelve thirty I thought about it and just having

48
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: a conversation. But I'm like, if I do this, I

49
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: don't know what I'm going to say. Weird precedent. Yeah,

50
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: it's weird precedent to set anyway. Long last, here are

51
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: your week four reverbs. Have a listened.

139
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: Alrighty, there you go. A powerhouse set of reverbs. Those

140
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: are the words of Dylan our guy puts them together,

141
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: not mine, but look, I could use many other superlatives

142
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: Dan to define our reverb segment. It's so much fun

143
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: every week. We appreciate everybody calling in. When you and

144
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: I were on the slack early this morning, Yeah, you

145
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: mentioned stomach bug Saturday. Yeah, so we had labeled it

146
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: scratch and sniff Saturday for those who aren't familiar. We

147
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: do this because ESPN likes to label Saturday is the

148
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: deeper we get into the season, show me Saturday, separation Saturday.

149
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: We like to get a little bit more creative with it.

150
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: Scratch and sniff Saturday is what we settled on when

151
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: we did the previews show. But in hindsight, we always

152
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: like to kind of look back and see how close

153
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: we were or weren't. Stomach bug Saturday feels at pros. Damn. Yeah.

154
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,119
Speaker 3: I just remember going away to a like a snow

155
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 3: trip to Lake Tahoe and the family I was with

156
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 3: the family of actually friend of the show, A line

157
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 3: I fan Scott. Everybody came down with the stomach bug.

158
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 3: I don't know if everybody ate the same thing. I

159
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 3: felt fine. Everybody was just running in and out of

160
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 3: the bathroom, and everybody just caught something.

161
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 2: You know.

162
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 3: I know it's a weird time to make contagious comparisons

163
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 3: to things, but let me assure you. This was not

164
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 3: flu like symptoms. It was just a stomach bug. This

165
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 3: was not something serious. And I guess in this scenario

166
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 3: and this analogy, I'm Oregon State. I don't even know,

167
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 3: I don't know who I am right now, but everybody

168
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 3: just seemed to be sort of I can't get too

169
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,599
Speaker 3: far away from a bathroom. In college football, even in

170
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 3: winning efforts, there were deep intestinal competitive concerns. And so

171
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 3: I personally felt great about it because a lot of

172
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 3: both short term, medium term, and long term viewpoints that

173
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 3: I've held for some time seemed to really get underscored

174
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 3: on Saturday. So selfishly, and I know, I'm just going

175
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 3: to be wrong about everything next week or the week after.

176
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 3: That's how it works. Everything evens out. But it was

177
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 3: it was entertaining, it was wild, and it was it

178
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 3: was silly. It was a silly Saturday. So I'm quite

179
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 3: excited to talk about it, both from a personal and

180
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 3: just big picture point of view.

181
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: It really does feel like we are steering into a

182
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: season that's going to get crazy. Yeah, there's going to

183
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: be craziness that unfolds over the next you know, eight

184
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: ten weeks or so. It's how many teams? How many teams?

185
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 3: Does saying counterpoint they might kind of suck? Does that

186
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 3: apply for Does it apply pretty much everybody?

187
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 4: Dan?

188
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty much everybody outside Bama, probably outside Georgia. But

189
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: chaos in this sport is when it's at its most interesting.

190
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: And I think you can say that about a lot

191
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: of teams. Again, I lad with Who's number three? I

192
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: don't know, we can maybe talk about that, but there

193
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: are plenty of teams now who I think have risen

194
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: to the top of the standings, some who aren't familiar

195
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 1: with being there, some who maybe are more familiar but

196
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: have serious flaws that have yet to be uncovered by

197
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: the proper opponents. So we're going to get into all

198
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: that and much much more. But we do have the

199
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: full week four slate here in front of us, and

200
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: let's start with the NC State game. Dan, Yeah, on

201
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: the first stop on the search for Snapple, Who's number three?

202
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 1: Remember when Snaple had that We're number three? Yeah, So

203
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: the first stop would be NC State Clemson. As Clemson

204
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: tries to make that case valiantly Clemson. This game went

205
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: to double overtime. NC State wins by a twenty seven

206
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: to twenty one score. They had a couple chances to

207
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: win it, but their kicker couldn't stop missing field goals. Correct,

208
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 1: But what a great win for NCI State. You know,

209
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 1: it's been a decade since they pulled off the win

210
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:55,719
Speaker 1: over Clemson last time. We got to go back to

211
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: Tom O'Brien to find the last time that that happened.

212
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 1: We knew it was going to be tough for them

213
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,599
Speaker 1: to move the football against Clemson's defense, and it was.

214
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 1: They stayed committed to the run, which if you went

215
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 1: out on YouTube and watch the reaction video that we

216
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: posted out there, I kind of commend them for sticking

217
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: to it. Even though it wasn't necessarily the most effective

218
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: game plan, it did give enough of a balance that

219
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: Devin Leary it wasn't all on him, right, It was

220
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 1: enough of a different look that he could kind of

221
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: settle in and make big plays, and he looked really good.

222
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 1: Four touchdowns, no picks, you know, including a couple of

223
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: big throws down the stretch that ultimately propelled NC State

224
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: to victory. Here, you know, where do you want to

225
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 1: start here? Are do we want to talk about the

226
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: Clemson offense. I don't really want to make this all

227
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: about Clemson because it was a big win for NC State,

228
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: but I do feel a little bit like the national

229
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: narrative will shift to, Hey, what's wrong with Clemson.

230
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 3: Definitely, yeah, I think we give NC State it's due

231
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 3: at the top. By the way, Devin to Devin Carter

232
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 3: with that sensational catch right right at the end of

233
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 3: that game that I mean helped propel to win. Yeah,

234
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 3: Devin Leary was he was fine. I think the big

235
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 3: sat is what you mentioned that he didn't turn the

236
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 3: ball over. He wasn't throwing the ball downfield all that

237
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 3: accurately or all that often successfully. But they the win

238
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 3: was paced with defense and running and ball control and

239
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 3: a lack of mistakes and taking advantage of Clemson's I

240
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 3: don't know what they're kind of going for on offense.

241
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 3: You watch that that offense, and Tony Elliott's been there forever.

242
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 3: Dju has the experience. He's been there in that program

243
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 3: for a year. You know, justin Ross comes back. They've

244
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 3: had receivers in this program. The offensive line is an

245
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 3: experience unit. It's like they all got together in the

246
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 3: offseason and came to all of the wrong conclusion about

247
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 3: where this off seat. Like they all went away to

248
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 3: a cab and be like, all right, this is what

249
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 3: we're doing. And it was just a nightmare plan because

250
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 3: I think schematically they don't seem to be all that creative.

251
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 3: They're running DJU at key times, he's he looks off

252
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 3: throwing the ball. The offensive line, I don't know. It

253
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 3: just seems like a very average offensive line at best

254
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 3: for a team that experienced and recruiting on the level

255
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 3: that they do. So I imagine changes are going to

256
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 3: be made and there's probably a fascinating story to be

257
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 3: written about what has happened these past couple of years

258
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 3: at Clemson. But I I just NC State at home.

259
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 3: The ability to survive those field goal misses, especially at

260
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 3: the end brutal didn't see that coming. That normally spells like, well,

261
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 3: they had a shot, and Clemson's one of those teams

262
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 3: it's just good enough to hang around and win a

263
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 3: clunker like that. So man, that really speaks to the

264
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 3: depths to which Clemson's offense has fallen. But again, good

265
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 3: Frenzy State for getting it done at the end.

266
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: Huge, big, big, big deal for the wolf Pack. They

267
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: finally get the monkey off their back. We'd be remiss

268
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: if we did not mention some of the injuries that

269
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: are mounting for Clemson as well. Totally. Will Shipley there,

270
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: stand out freshman running back who seemingly just stepped into

271
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: that starting role as of like a week ago. I

272
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: haven't seen the readout on him. It didn't look good

273
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: on the replay. Looked like it's a knee injury, so

274
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: he might be out for some time. Brian Brazy went down,

275
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: James Skolsky went down. That's on top of Tyler Davis

276
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: who was already down on the defensive line. And look,

277
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,719
Speaker 1: they've got talent. Ultimately, Clemson's still probably the top dog

278
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: in the ACC. But why why who else is it

279
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: going to be? Dan Georgia Tech?

280
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 4: Right now?

281
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: It is Georgia Tech. Okay, eventually though, you're going to

282
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: get to it. They just be North Carolina and they

283
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: almost be Clemson. No, it's NC State. Yeah, Eventually, you're

284
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: gonna get to point with these injuries where you just

285
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: don't have anyone to fill them in with. But Clemson's

286
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: in that space where they have the guys. They are

287
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: deeper than any team in the conference. So that's it's

288
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: not fully an excuse relative to the rest of the

289
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: of the conference. It's being tested for sure. At this

290
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: early juncture after week four, it does feel like the

291
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: ACC is wide open, though, and that's for the first

292
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: time in a long time we can say that. I agree.

293
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: The offensive identity for Clemson feels all off. Look at

294
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: the play calling in overtime. It was just whatever DJ

295
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: can do, that's what we're gonna do. Yeah, pretty much

296
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: it That was the extent of the game plan. So

297
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: they got a lot of figuring out to do here

298
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: over the next couple of weeks. But the ACC, watch

299
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: this Spaceman, watch Wake, watch NC State, the Boston College, Yeah,

300
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: Boston College. Never I saw Bill.

301
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 3: Ce mentioned sp plus has the ACC as like his

302
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 3: widest variance conference like it makes the least sense given

303
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 3: the production and results thus far, of any of the

304
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 3: the FBS conferences that he measures. So yeah, it makes

305
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 3: full sense. And by the way, Clemson two of twelve

306
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 3: on third and fourth downs. That's not good, not good enough.

307
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: Let's go out to your neck of the woods Soldier

308
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: Field in Chicago, Land forty one to thirteen is your final.

309
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: The Notre Dame fighting Irish up and the was constant

310
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: Beager's dan. This was a close game most of the way.

311
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: It was thirteen to ten with about fourteen minutes left

312
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. But the ensuing kickoff is run

313
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: back ninety six yards from Chris Tyree, who Mama h

314
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: I was watching with her immediately screams out because he's

315
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: wearing number twenty five like rocket. Ish Meal immediately screams out,

316
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: that's like the rocket, that's like the rocket. We're jumping around,

317
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: we're all all excited. But that was the spark for

318
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: this Notre Dame team. Now they didn't necessarily do it

319
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: with their offense. We could talk about that separately, but

320
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: at least on special teams with that Tyree play, and

321
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: then defense, especially in the secondary, two pick sixes to

322
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: close this game out, to eventually widen that margin, and

323
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: I think make it look like a little bit more

324
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: of a beating than it was. I will say this

325
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: about Notre Dame and then I'll shut up and let

326
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: you talk for a few minutes. I know Wisconsin does

327
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: not exactly have an electric offense.

328
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 3: You should be talking for a few minutes. This is

329
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 3: your team and the game that a picked completely incorrectly.

330
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: You should talk. I took the points. Excuse me, I

331
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: took the points. I did think Wisconsin would win. But

332
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: eventually this line ballooned up to six and a half,

333
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: which was a lot. I felt like a lot. Wisconsin

334
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: does not have an electric offense by any stretch. But

335
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: even with that being said, this was a quantum bleep

336
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: forward for Notre Dame defensively because they've given up a

337
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: ton of big plays this year. They've looked out a

338
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: sink for a good chunk of the season. Five turnovers

339
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: for Graham Mertz, four picks, one fumble, Wisconsin held to

340
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: one of thirteen on third downs. They were just eighteen

341
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: of forty one passing. Again, I understand we're not talking about,

342
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: you know, a Mike Leach offense here, which is just

343
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: all gas, no breaks. But nonetheless, this is a big

344
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: deal for Notre Dame that they were able to hold

345
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: down Wisconsin in the manner that they could and did,

346
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: and then get some points on defense. I was really

347
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: feeling pretty good about this, knowing that they're going into

348
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: a tougher part of their schedule with teams like Cincinnati and.

349
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 3: Mike Leach's offense, for the record, was not all that good.

350
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 3: There were plenty of breaks within that offense. Mike Leach's

351
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 3: Texas Tech offense. Sure, okay, fair enough. Yeah, this is

352
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 3: a game between two quarterbacks who are substandard. They are

353
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 3: not quarterbacks capable of leading probably top ten teams. I

354
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 3: don't know if we've ever seen any evidence of Graham

355
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 3: Mertz in that regard. I know Wisconsin's offense and philosophy

356
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 3: in general was you know, I saw Ari Wasserman tweeting

357
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 3: about how you know, Wisconsin seriously needs to look inward

358
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 3: and you know this is their identity whatever, But they're

359
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 3: gonna be games like this and Paul Christ's record against

360
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 3: the better teams Wisconsin has played these past few years. Yeah,

361
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 3: not only do they not win, they don't even cover

362
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 3: like they just they've they've them up flat more and more.

363
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 3: And I don't think they need to change anything dramatically.

364
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 3: I just think it's possible, and it walks an awkward

365
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 3: line that things need to be tweaked. The offensive line

366
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 3: isn't where it was, running back isn't where it was

367
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 3: these past few you know, decade. Whatever you want to

368
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 3: call it. I know they've had years where you know,

369
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 3: they didn't have Monty Ball, they didn't have you know,

370
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor tailback. But I just I just don't think

371
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 3: they have guys to mount a top ten team, at

372
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 3: least the offense. The offense is half of it. And similarly,

373
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 3: it can be said of Notre Dame that like their

374
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 3: offensive line has taken a significant step back from where

375
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 3: it was these past few years, and you know, making

376
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 3: the change at offensive line coach what two years ago

377
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 3: has finally, you know, the evidence has mounted that this

378
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 3: is not a cohesive unit. They're beat up. You know,

379
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 3: quarterback recruiting has been okay. But if if you're left

380
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 3: with Jack Cone trying to compete against Wisconsin and not,

381
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 3: you know, just running for his life for a good

382
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,479
Speaker 3: chunk of this game, that these are teams that are

383
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 3: are not fielding top ten caliber squads, and that's okay, fine,

384
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 3: It was fine saying he was running for his life.

385
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 3: He was fine in this game, and that wasn't his fault.

386
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 3: He was fine in this game.

387
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: He actually ended up getting hurt, and because Tyler Buckner

388
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 1: had a hamstring injury, Drew Pine took over and Drew

389
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 1: Pines a little undersize is like five to eleven. He's

390
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: from Connecticut. They talked about it on the broadcast. Dare

391
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: I say a little bit of Baker Mayfield in him?

392
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: Dare say the third string Notre Dame quarterback a little

393
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: bit of Banner Mayfield, a little bit of Baker Mayfield

394
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: in him. He came in, he threw a touchdown. I

395
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: thought looked pretty good. Gave them a little bit of

396
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: a spark. On offense, you know, Notre Dame's in a

397
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: different spot though offensively than Wisconsin. I agree. Wisconsin doesn't

398
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: have dudes. I don't know who's gonna frighten me on

399
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 1: the Wisconsin offense. Notre Dame has guys. They're trying to

400
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: figure out how to use them, right Kyraen Williams of

401
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: Chris Tyree can't run as well as they'd like because

402
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: the offense of line is in shambles. Jack Cohne is

403
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 1: not necessarily the guy that they won in there if

404
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: they're going to have to throw the ball fifty times

405
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: a game, But if he can develop some of those

406
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 1: weapons outside of Michael Maher, If Kevin Austin steps up,

407
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 1: if Avery Davis continues his rides as some of these

408
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: other weapons that they have out wide continue to improve.

409
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: The offense is in a much much different place than Wisconsin,

410
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 1: so I feel like on the whole, if they can

411
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: figure out that line, they're going to be in a

412
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 1: much much better spot. Perhaps that's the most obvious statement

413
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: in the world, but they need to get the line

414
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: sorted out, and it seems like the skill talent is there.

415
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: We'll have to wait and see what happens with Cone.

416
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 1: I don't think the injury is too severe, but if

417
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: he can't go, maybe Buckner will be healthy. Next week

418
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: we see more of him or Drew Pine again, who

419
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: again for his part, looked okay. They do have Cincinnati though,

420
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: and Cincinnati I think is a different breed a team.

421
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that on the Wednesday preview. On the

422
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: Wisconsin side, They've got Michigan next week. They do, and

423
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 1: we'll talk about Michigan in their game against Rutgers. But

424
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: Wisconsin's in a spot here, man. They've got Michigan, They've

425
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: got Iowan schedule later this year. If this is the

426
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 1: version of the Badgers that we're gonna get, don't count

427
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: out Nebraska. Don't count out freaking Rutgers, Like, yeah, it

428
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: just wasn't was it the kind of showing that you

429
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 1: feel great about if you're a Wisconsin fan. And finally,

430
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly, by the way, the now winningest coach in

431
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: Notre Dame football history, saw that past New Rogby with

432
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: one hundred and six. It should be mentioned, though, that

433
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: Notre Dame was playing against one of probably the best

434
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: five or seven defenses in the country. It's a tall

435
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: task to score a ton of points with, you know,

436
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: sustained offensive drives or explosive plays on offense against Wisconsin's defense.

437
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: Like all credit should be given to Wisconsin's defense in

438
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: terms of their own ability, Notre Dame's defense is a

439
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: little bit more gettable. I think you look at what

440
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 1: you know, Florida State was able to accomplish even Toledo

441
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 1: at times produe like there are teams that have moved

442
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: the ball against defense. It is gettable. Yeah, they have

443
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: looked better your last two games totally. There have been

444
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 1: moments now where it seems like they're starting to put

445
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: it together. And was impressed by the secondary. Again, Graham

446
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: Mertz is not Joe Montana, no, but I thought the

447
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: secondary played really, really well yesterday, and there aren't a

448
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: whole lot of teams in the schedule that are going

449
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: to be able to throw for four hundred yards or

450
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: three hundred yards or even two hundred yards against you.

451
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: But just to have that defense playing at a better level,

452
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: I think elevates the ceiling for this team.

453
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 3: By the way, how many how many teams? And both

454
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 3: use Notre Dame Wisconsin as an example, but across the country,

455
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 3: and we can dip into this thought across the matchups

456
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 3: that we're going to talk about, how many teams can,

457
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 3: in ernest say, huh, our passing offense is surprisingly improved

458
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 3: and decent? Like how many like Virginia, maybe Texas, Oregon State? Yeah,

459
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 3: like how many can Arkansas? Like it's a real small

460
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 3: smattering of teams who are hopeful for passing improvement and

461
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 3: receivers stepping up and offensive lines protecting and quarterbacks becoming

462
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 3: a little bit more fearless and accurate going downfield. I

463
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 3: don't know, it feels like there are four and a

464
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 3: half teams who are surprisingly happy with their their passing improvement,

465
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 3: which is not as many as I had hoped there

466
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 3: would be. So I think that's sort of a theme

467
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 3: like when you look across football, we can get into

468
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 3: the Oklahoma games soon, we can get into all sorts

469
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 3: of matchups. We're like, man, they just don't have it

470
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 3: through the air, and we thought they'd at least be

471
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 3: a little better. So that to me was definitely thematic

472
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 3: of you know, Auburn, all these teams of Week four,

473
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 3: Let's move over to the altar of dan if we could, please,

474
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 3: let's take it back.

475
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: You're gonna talk Iowa State Baylor? Is that what we're doing. No,

476
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about Arkansas and Texas. What a wine,

477
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: What a dub for the Hogs man. One of the

478
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 1: best freaking stories in college football right now. It keeps

479
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 1: getting better every week. Happens every year where you got

480
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 1: a couple team, teams that get off to a better

481
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: start than you would expect, and then we're always in

482
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: the tough spot of having to figure out is this

483
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: team actually good or is it fools gold. I don't

484
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: think Arkansas's fools gold. I think it's real. I think

485
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 1: this is a real thing. I don't know if they

486
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: win the SEC probably not. But like going from this

487
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: place we were in the preseason where we're looking at

488
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 1: Arkansas schedule, and we're saying, oh, boy, they could get

489
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: a lot better and still go four and eight to

490
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: now this spot where they're a fringe top ten team.

491
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: I'm assuming in the next pole whenever that comes out,

492
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: they are four and oh got a monster game next

493
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: week at Georgia, which is suddenly like one of the

494
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: biggest games of the week. A and M, mind you,

495
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: without its quarterback, but playing incredible defense all year long.

496
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: They hadn't allowed more than two hundred and thirty two

497
00:25:55,760 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: passing yards in either of their first three games. Arkansas

498
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: had two hundred and twenty nine at half. Yeah, so

499
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: this is an offense is playing well with kJ Jefferson.

500
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 1: It's a defense that I saw somebody jokingly or maybe

501
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: not so jokingly, compared them to the eighty five Bears.

502
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: Like they're playing real well right now, Dan, this is

503
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: a real freaking team.

504
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 3: It is a real team who held on in real

505
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 3: impressive fashion. By the way, that's Kent State, Colorado, New Mexico,

506
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 3: those teams that Texas A and M held down those

507
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 3: first few weeks. Just to be clear, I was worried

508
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 3: about A and M's offense and the ability to move

509
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 3: the ball going against this Texas A and M defense,

510
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 3: just because of the skill level and talent that was

511
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 3: brought back. I didn't necessarily see that first half coming

512
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 3: offensively in A and M and Mike Elko did a

513
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 3: terrific job adjusting in the second half. They held him

514
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,120
Speaker 3: to what three points in the second half. Now, kJ

515
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 3: Jefferson goes down. Treylon Burks was allegedly beat up during

516
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 3: the week, was in a walking boot, but he played

517
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 3: and was an absolute dude. And then but he does

518
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 3: end up leaving in that game. And outside of what

519
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 3: it was an Isaiah Spiller sixty seven yard run up

520
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 3: the gut in the second half. Was in the second half,

521
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 3: I believe there were no touchdown drives. There was nothing

522
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 3: in terms of sustained success on offense for Texas A

523
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 3: and M. Granted backup quarterback going against what we think

524
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 3: and still believe to be a pretty dangerous defense in Arkansas,

525
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 3: bringing in the transfers that they did, getting the linebacker

526
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 3: play that they have. But Arkansas has now beaten Texas

527
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 3: and Texas A and M. They are the kings of Texas.

528
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 3: The Hogs are the Kings of Texas.

529
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: I love that in Texas, Dan.

530
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 3: The conversation now shifts to I mean you were talking

531
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 3: about who's number three nationally? Who's number three in the SEC?

532
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 3: Is it Arkansas or Texas?

533
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:48,239
Speaker 1: Excuse me? Is it Arkansas or Florida? Probably? I mean

534
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: it's it's a conversation anyway, which is that old wild question? Okay?

535
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 3: I think Arkansas has better wins and has has shown

536
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 3: more to be you know, old miss had to buy

537
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 3: this week and we'll certainly learn not more. I think

538
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 3: they have Bama right next week. But that's to me,

539
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 3: the question is who has impressed you more thus far?

540
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 3: In Arkansas or Florida for that number three spot? If

541
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 3: you're going to pencil in Georgia at number two.

542
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: No, I mean what Arkansas has done in year two,

543
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: whatever year is or Sam Pittan now, time flies, It's

544
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: been remarkable. This is a team that is playing really

545
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 1: well as a team right now. On the A and

546
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: M side. The offense is really just off. Yeah, it's

547
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: not good. They're without Haines King, we know about that,

548
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: but the line is beat up and not that good. Yeah,

549
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: they've got some real issues that they got to work

550
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: out there, and you know it, it will not get

551
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: easier going through an SEC schedule, it's clear that the

552
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: season is not unfolding in the early going for A

553
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: and M the way that they had hoped. But still

554
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: have the defense. And I still agree Jimbo got a

555
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: million and a half extra dollars, so it unfolded the

556
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: way he hoped. It's fine for Jimbo. It's fine for

557
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: Jimbo making a nine MILLI year or whatever it is.

558
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: But if you are A and M fans not going

559
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: according to the plan, if you are Arkansas, I think

560
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: you're thrilled that you're able to score twenty points on

561
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: this defense because it's a really good defense. They're trying

562
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: their best. They just they can't do everything for A

563
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: and M. They need a little bit offensive help. Yeah,

564
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: and fingers crossed kJ Jefferson.

565
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 3: I think it was his knee that he went to

566
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 3: the injury tent with Millik Hornsby came in and made

567
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 3: some plays just that Traylon Burk's heels up. That you

568
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 3: know these guys are able to get healthy as quickly

569
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 3: as humanly possible, because what a time it must be

570
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 3: to be a hog.

571
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 2: Wow.

572
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 3: Man, I tried to explain it to you, I know,

573
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 3: I said, if you feel something in your loins, lean

574
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 3: in it. Now is the time for enthusiasm.

575
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, speaking of which, Dan, I made a pick

576
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: in the Big Twelve that I believe you told me

577
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: that I actouldly quote have fun with and I did. Yeah,

578
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: Oh you nailed this. Now you know. It's sort of

579
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: a what a blind squirrel kind of situation? It might be.

580
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: It could be a a blind squirrel situation. Let's go

581
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: from the altar of Dan to high atop the totem

582
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: of Tie, because when we're up here, we're up atop

583
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: the totem, we can just sort of see the landscape. Yeah,

584
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: it's like those climbing pictures that Chris Fowler posts on Instagram.

585
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: When I'm up here, I'm in my happy place. I

586
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: can see the college football world for what it is.

587
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: And I identified a matchup here, went against the grain

588
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: of the mainstream lame stream media and decided I was

589
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: going to go Baylor money line, and I got damn

590
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: lucky home dog. Yeah, home dog, Dan rubbed off. I

591
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: guess it must have. I don't know. I would characterize

592
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: this win as an opportunistic win for Baylor because there

593
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: were no stats that popped here. But it sort of

594
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: had the notes of let's say a Michigan State, Michigan

595
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: State win in that it was good team football. Too

596
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: many penalties in the game. They got to clean that up.

597
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: I thought they cleaned it up after Week one. I

598
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: guess not. But otherwise we talk a lot on this

599
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: show about moments. How you gotta win moments, that's how

600
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: you win football games. And Baylor did that. They did that,

601
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: especially on special teams by Tristan Ebner in the second half.

602
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: He ran back a kick, he had a long punt

603
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: return that set up what amounted to a really big

604
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: field goal. Yeah, to give them enough separation in order

605
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: to win this game. But I thought across the board,

606
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: like just they did enough as a team to get

607
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: over the hump here against Iowa State, Gary Bohannon was good.

608
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: He was a fishing He accounted for three touchdowns in

609
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: the first half outside of a fumble to open up

610
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: the second half. He just thought he was really solid.

611
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: The defense was good enough. Bruce Hall went off had

612
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: a buck ninety on the round two touchdowns, but the

613
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: defense held its own, did what it needed to do

614
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: and Iowa State damn near came back in the second half.

615
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 1: This is one of those games that if your Baylor,

616
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: it tests your metal, like what are you made of

617
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: to hold off a team like an Iowa State that

618
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: we knew was not going to go down quietly? But

619
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: then the special teams plays jumped out again to the

620
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: two kick returns, though the one off the kickoff and

621
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: the other off the punt. Iowa State eventually comes back

622
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,959
Speaker 1: to within a two point conversion, but Brock Party fumbles

623
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: a snap and then throws an interception, which is about

624
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: part of the courses here for Party. So we are

625
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: now in a spot Dan where Iowa status two losses,

626
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: Baylor has none, and suddenly I didn't even have it

627
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: on my sheet for week five. But Baylor on the

628
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: road against Oklahoma State next week's a pretty damn big matchup.

629
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 5: It is.

630
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 3: Indeed, I'm just picturing you ahead of making that Baylor

631
00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 3: pick pouring over like practice special teams fo that you

632
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 3: acquired from like Cherry Picker film, just back.

633
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: And forth and just like they're not staying in their lanes.

634
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: They're not staying in their lanes. No, they're not staying

635
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: in their lanes.

636
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 3: I got a roll here with Baylor, Like you're, well,

637
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 3: I don't remember the name of the guy from the

638
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 3: Big Short As he's pouring over like the housing, he's like,

639
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 3: something's not adding up, something's not heading up.

640
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: Keep betting against Iowa State. Yeah, it's just it's tough

641
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: for Iowa State.

642
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 3: We talked about this in our preseason Big twelve preview

643
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 3: and it sort of came to pass as well, Like

644
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 3: they're trying to win with tight ends and a running back.

645
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 3: And that's awesome when it works. If you have that

646
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 3: combination of defensive playmakers, a running back in Breeze Hall

647
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 3: who you can build an offense around, and two really

648
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 3: terrific tight ends, it's great. But at a certain point

649
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 3: a defense is gonna say, no receivers changress here. So

650
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 3: we shouldn't be like Tarik Milton Xavier Hutchinson, like we

651
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 3: shouldn't be all that terrified of them to keep safeties

652
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 3: back and eventually you need that to score thirty five points,

653
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 3: you just do. And for Baylor to get the special

654
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 3: teams plays that they did was awesome. For the Bears,

655
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 3: get your wins however you freaking can, and Baylor.

656
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,320
Speaker 1: Did at home. As I still believe to be like

657
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 1: a top twenty quality Iowa State team.

658
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 3: So great win. And I don't know who's running the

659
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 3: Iowa State special teams. I don't know if it's like

660
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,399
Speaker 3: a part time guy who runs a sandwich shop five

661
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 3: days a week. And yeah, yeah, I don't know who's

662
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 3: doing it. I don't know what those film sessions are

663
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 3: looking like. But let's fill some lanes and make some

664
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 3: tackles on coverage.

665
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, look, I'm not totally sold on Baylor as

666
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: fixing all of their issues and emerging from the pandemic

667
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 1: cloud as one of the contenders now in the Big Twelve.

668
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go that far. This is a

669
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: nice win for them. They played again, good team football

670
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: to did what they had to do to get the dub,

671
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: probably a little closer down the stretch than they would

672
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: have liked given the way that they started this football game.

673
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: But that aside, huge win. They've got a big game

674
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: next week against Oklahoma State. I will be very curious

675
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,720
Speaker 1: to see what that point spread is because this strikes

676
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: me as a kind of game that is ripe for

677
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 1: a hangover, ripe for a hangover, and you go Oklahoma State,

678
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: especially since Okay State looked pre damn good in their

679
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: own right.

680
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 3: And they could probably beat Baylor again not scoring in

681
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 3: the second half, which they haven't done now for two

682
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,320
Speaker 3: straight weeks. Sorry, I'm still on the Iowa State special

683
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 3: teams coach. Now I'm picturing Matt Campbell's sister convincing him

684
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 3: to hire her husband because he needs an activity to

685
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:29,839
Speaker 3: get out of the house. Let's just let him coach

686
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 3: special teams. Let Frank coach special teams.

687
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:33,800
Speaker 1: What could go wrong?

688
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 5: Man?

689
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 1: We are Yeah. Baylor wins by a thirty one to

690
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: twenty nine score. Again, that came down to the final

691
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: two point conversion. Yeah. Oklahoma, oh boy m hm Oklahoma sixteen,

692
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: West Virginia thirteen. Oklahoma needed a thirty yard field goal

693
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 1: at the gun to win this game. Also, that kick

694
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,280
Speaker 1: was the very first time all game that they grabbed

695
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: the lead, So they were either trailing or tied the

696
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: entire duration of this football game until that last kick.

697
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: So first off credit where it's due. West Virginia played

698
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: a great game. The defense is defense. Is hear me out?

699
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: Hear me out? The defense will I think we would

700
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,959
Speaker 1: agree is legit. It's a good defense. They seemed good. Yeah,

701
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: they definitely did seem good. They seemed good. So the defense.

702
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: If all you have is a defense that seems good,

703
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,320
Speaker 1: that'll get your places in twenty twenty one with what

704
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: we're seeing Oklahoma. Yeah, against Oklahoma in particular, you can

705
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: work with that. So I think West Virginia is a

706
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 1: very good defense. It's a two to two team that

707
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: could have won this game. Frankly, if they got one

708
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: or two more opportunities to go their way. They were

709
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,919
Speaker 1: really out there. The rest of the schedule is going

710
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 1: to be difficult. I still cannot pave an obvious path

711
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 1: to getting to six wins, but this was a promising

712
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: road performance against what we thought was going to be

713
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: an electric offense. That being said, Daniel, Yeah, we are

714
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: now through the month of September. We're four weeks into

715
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: the year, and three of Oklahoma's four wins have been

716
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: particularly ugly on offense. Right, West Virginia very much followed

717
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: a blueprint that we saw last week from Nebraska in

718
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,240
Speaker 1: that they just try to bottle up the big plays.

719
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:38,399
Speaker 1: Don't let Oklahoma blow the lid offya allow some underneath stuff, sure,

720
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: give them a couple chunk plays here and there, but

721
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: just don't let any of the big stuff kill you.

722
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 1: And that's what they did. It worked to great avail

723
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: three hundred and thirteen total yards for Oklahoma, which feels

724
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 1: ridiculous that it would be that low for a lot

725
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:55,320
Speaker 1: of teams. That's fine, but not for Oklahoma. So have

726
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: we now arrived at the point where we are confident

727
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,760
Speaker 1: in saying that, yeah, something's wrong with this Oklahoma offense.

728
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, And it's probably the line. I mean

729
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 3: that the time Spencer Rattler had seemed different than usual

730
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 3: for what we're used to with Oklahoma. I think what

731
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 3: it also just highlights is the fact that you can't

732
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 3: skate by, at least in twenty twenty one, with what

733
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 3: you were and what your perceptions were and what you

734
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 3: used to have and be able to do, Like we

735
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 3: want to keep believing and we probably still at least

736
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 3: some of us in Clemson, in Oklahoma and teams like

737
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 3: that in Notre Dame, in Wisconsin, whatever, just because we're

738
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 3: used to a certain like a bar of success that

739
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 3: they don't go under, where it's very difficult to see

740
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,439
Speaker 3: anything resembling what we're used to with Oklahoma in terms

741
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 3: of separating from the rest of the conference when they're

742
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 3: getting beat up front consistently. Now I don't think this

743
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 3: was a fun game for West Virginia fans. They're getting

744
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 3: all too used to seeing a team that is sort

745
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 3: of a seventeen point team plus or minus a few

746
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,919
Speaker 3: right in against some of the weaker teams will score

747
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 3: twenty to twenty four against some of the stronger teams

748
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 3: will score, you know, ten to eighteen. Like, I don't

749
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 3: know if it's jarreted daggy thing. I don't know if

750
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 3: it's an offensive line thing, whatever it is, like, they

751
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 3: don't have playmakers. They don't have the creativity right now

752
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 3: where they should. They've proven an ability to recruit those guys.

753
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 3: I just it had to have been torturous as a

754
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 3: West Virginia fan knowing that an upset on the road

755
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 3: in the most difficult place to play in the conference

756
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:31,800
Speaker 3: was within your grasp and they're just there was just mistakes.

757
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 3: There was just constant mistakes and an inability to stretch

758
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 3: in Oklahoma defense out at least a little bit. I

759
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 3: know that broad and Garrett Green, the backup quarterback, he

760
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 3: made a couple of throws, but nothing crazy. They's just

761
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 3: West Virginia is searching, and it's very strange that it's

762
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 3: offense right, like West Virginia can't have nice things on

763
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 3: both sides at the same time. And so I feel

764
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 3: for Mountaineer fans because the game was certainly theirs. It

765
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 3: was a weird situation. This was it was a Herb

766
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 3: Street and Fowler calling this game. They were in Chicago

767
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 3: for game day, but then went down to Norman and

768
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 3: they had to defend Spencer Ratler because you know, the

769
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 3: student section was calling for Caleb Williams, the true freshman

770
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 3: like it just there's an underlying mess in Oklahoma right now.

771
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 3: And look, they're winning their clunkers for.

772
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: Now too many clubs, this is too many feels like.

773
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 3: An LRO team that they're just gonna lose something real dumb.

774
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 3: I thought I was gonna say, it's not dumb to

775
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 3: lose to Kansas State, that's just what they do now,

776
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 3: but something like that. I thought the Sooner defense played

777
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 3: pretty well for its part totally And on the Spencer

778
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 3: Rattler thing, getting booed by your own student sections not

779
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 3: a great look.

780
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,839
Speaker 1: He threw a pick, It looked that good. He threw

781
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 1: a pick late in the second quarter, and then the

782
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: student sections started booing and they chanted, we want Caleb

783
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 1: we won't get Kob Williams, their their five star freshman quarterback,

784
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: Holly row. I don't know if you saw the postgame

785
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: Holly Rowe asked him about it, and they said, quote,

786
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,359
Speaker 1: I don't care, we don't care, it doesn't matter. We're

787
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: out here to win a game in they're in the stands.

788
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: I think if you read that on paper, it's like, Okay,

789
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:09,839
Speaker 1: that's fine. I saw the interview. It clearly pissed them off. Yeah,

790
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: of course its them off. Yeah, and I'm not holding

791
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:16,280
Speaker 1: that against him, but yeah, do not read that comment

792
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: and say to yourself, oh, he took it in stride.

793
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,399
Speaker 1: He did not take it astride. It pissed him off.

794
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: And I'm curious to see if it lights a fire

795
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: under the Oklahoma offense. Right a big night game at

796
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: home West Virginia, you win by three. Oklahoma's got the

797
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 1: full season in front of it, they really do. If

798
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: they get their act together, if they play like I

799
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: think we all expect them to play, they're gonna be fine.

800
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 1: They're gonna be just fine. But maybe this is the moment,

801
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 1: Maybe this is the thing that kind of propels them

802
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:45,879
Speaker 1: now to greater things.

803
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 3: Who knows, I know This is like first world rich

804
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 3: people problems in terms of college football fandom. But it

805
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 3: is tricky when you're positive that your team is somewhere

806
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 3: between really really good and great, and you have to

807
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 3: accept that your team is merely good right, that you're

808
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 3: you're rooting for a team that generally has its act together,

809
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:09,800
Speaker 3: but what you're used to and what's reasonable to expect

810
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 3: is more, and you have to say, I, I I

811
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 3: just I have to be okay that we're a B plus.

812
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 3: And I'm experiencing that emotion with Oregon and we'll get

813
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 3: to that later. And I'm sure on some level you're

814
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 3: experiencing that with Notre Dame. Notre Dame is a good team,

815
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 3: they're not really really good. They're not great, and that's

816
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 3: like it's just a weird place. And again, I'm sure

817
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,879
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifteen fan bases are like, enough enough,

818
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:33,919
Speaker 3: we have a quarterback who's throwing it the wrong way.

819
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 3: But I'm just saying this is like, this is like

820
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 3: Minnesota fans are like, no, seriously, go on, no, how

821
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 3: hard it is to root for a team who's only

822
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:47,839
Speaker 3: good after they lost a thirty one point favorite game,

823
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 3: favorite game against Bowling Green but it is. That's just

824
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:53,839
Speaker 3: the reality for a team like Oklahoma right now. That's

825
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 3: all I'm saying, all right.

826
00:42:55,320 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 1: Elsewhere in the Big twelve, the iron skillet goes to

827
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: SMU smooth with a fun win.

828
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:05,359
Speaker 5: Here.

829
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 1: It was the one hundredth meeting between these two teams.

830
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 1: Seventy six points over one thousand total yards. SMU is good, man,

831
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:18,240
Speaker 1: They're good. I think, yeah, I do, I do. Tanner

832
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 1: Mordecai had four more touchdowns. He leads the nation now

833
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 1: as twenty one of them on the year. Ulyss Is

834
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: Bentley the fourth my favorite name in college football at

835
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 1: buck fifty three in a touchdown. And TCU's defense just

836
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 1: like wasn't good. They allowed SMU to go eight of

837
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: twelve on third downs. I know you want to talk

838
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 1: a little bit about Max Duggan and how you don't

839
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 1: think he's good. We can get there, but I just

840
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 1: wanted to use this platform to say that SMU deserves

841
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: to be ranked. They have looked really, really good.

842
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:53,839
Speaker 3: It's not that I don't think Max Duggan is good,

843
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 3: because at times he is good. But TCU and Max

844
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,280
Speaker 3: Duggan as a three or four year starter at quarterback,

845
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,839
Speaker 3: it's just like, you know what you're going to get, right,

846
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 3: you know exactly what a max dug in and this offense,

847
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 3: and like Zach Evans is a spark at running back

848
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 3: who they sort of went away from at times. It

849
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 3: was a much better first half than second half. The

850
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 3: striking thing about TCU, especially considering who they've developed to

851
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 3: become NFL players, is that they're beaten at the line

852
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 3: of scrimmage so consistently by SMU, by everyone, not everyone,

853
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 3: but a lot of teams, that that's where they had

854
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:34,320
Speaker 3: really developed guys, and that's where they can't sustain drives.

855
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 3: And I thought, you know SMU and what it was

856
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 3: Mordecai through, did you throw two.

857
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 1: Picks, three picks a three in this game?

858
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, to not come away with a win. So the

859
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,399
Speaker 3: final tally was, you know, TCU wins that I'm looking

860
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 3: right now three turnovers to one. So if you're losing

861
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 3: that game for giving up forty two points with three takeaways,

862
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 3: something is both very right and wrong with your defense.

863
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 3: It just it's an all over situation. And like I

864
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 3: get again credit to SMU, but it was just sort

865
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,360
Speaker 3: of taking advantage of fits and starts from TCU on

866
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,800
Speaker 3: both sides of the ball, so great for the skillet,

867
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 3: great for Ulyssa's Bentley running all over it was Bentley

868
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 3: and somebody else ran really well for SMU. I saw

869
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 3: that in the sort of extended highlights I watched. But

870
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 3: TCU is not in a great place right now now,

871
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 3: Like this is a program that needs I'm not going

872
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 3: to say that they need to go in a new

873
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:30,360
Speaker 3: direction at head coach or like it's just something new absolutely,

874
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 3: just like something like they need to hit the reboot

875
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:34,280
Speaker 3: button somewhere.

876
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: There is a Wisconsin quality to TCU in that it

877
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,400
Speaker 1: feels like the same team every year. M hm. The

878
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 1: names change, some of the speculation about who will be

879
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 1: good versus who won't be good changes, but it's the

880
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:51,760
Speaker 1: same team. You'reine and you're out, and that's really frustrating

881
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: as a fan, really frustrating with that.

882
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 3: That said, the best of TCU moving forward. Okay, so

883
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 3: they Texas, that's gonna be tough at Texas Tech at Oklahoma,

884
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 3: West Virginia at Kansas State with god knows who at

885
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:10,839
Speaker 3: quarterback Baylor at Oklahoma's like, there's nobody who are like, well,

886
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 3: they're not good enough to win that game. I know

887
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 3: they're good enough to win eighty ninety percent of those games,

888
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 3: right all but maybe Texas and who even knows. I

889
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:22,320
Speaker 3: think Texas a little overrated at the moment, but TCU

890
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 3: is good enough. The problem is that's kind of meaningless.

891
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:30,360
Speaker 1: Texas won seventy to thirty five over Texas Tech, and

892
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 1: we had Oklahoma State winning thirty one to twenty over

893
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 1: k State. Let's just go through them real quickly. The

894
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 1: Texas game escalated very quickly. Definitely did not expect this

895
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 1: type of domination by the Texas offensive line. They looked

896
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 1: really good up front and just push Tech off the ball.

897
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 1: You do that at Springs by Jean Robinson lose. It

898
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 1: obviously gives a lot more clearance for a guy like

899
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,799
Speaker 1: a Casey Thompson. Even Roshawn Johnson got in on the action.

900
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,879
Speaker 1: Seventy points is is definitely the kind of neck crack

901
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 1: that I think Texas fans were after. Totally.

902
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was really encouraging from the the Texas offense,

903
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 3: especially after the lows that they they plummeted to against

904
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 3: Arkansas with Hudson card they make the change to Casey Thompson.

905
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:19,879
Speaker 3: He looks much more comfortable. He's throwing the ball on time.

906
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 3: You know, Xavier Worthy looks like he's going to be extremely.

907
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 1: Welcome to college.

908
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, he had committed to Michigan and then left during spring.

909
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was an academic thing. I

910
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 3: know Giles Jackson, who was at Michigan, was part of

911
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:36,319
Speaker 3: his recruitment because he's from California. I don't know if

912
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 3: that played an issue with it when he transferred to Washington.

913
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 3: But either way, ends up at Texas a team that

914
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 3: desperate for a game change or at receiver, and as

915
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 3: you mentioned, the line was great. Casey Thompson, be Jon

916
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 3: Robinson is you know, probably due to be retired as

917
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 3: a dude, he's just every week.

918
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

919
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:54,839
Speaker 3: The worrisome thing to me with Texas is what they

920
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 3: look like in the back end of their defense. I

921
00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 3: don't know which quarterbacks are good enough and consistently enough

922
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 3: to take advantage.

923
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:06,439
Speaker 1: Well, Henry Coin by Henry Kin, and he was able

924
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:08,840
Speaker 1: to take the top off the Texas defense a bit. So,

925
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: you know, we talk a lot about the schematics of

926
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: defending Oklahoma. They're going to play in two weeks. Oklahoma

927
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 1: is capable of taking the top off the defense, whether

928
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:20,279
Speaker 1: or not we know who their go to guys are

929
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 1: out wide or not. Well. Again, this is how Nebraska,

930
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 1: this is how West Virginia has stopped Oklahoma. They have

931
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 1: not let them do that. Texas definitely has a tendency

932
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 1: for letting people do that. They knew Texas Tech was

933
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 1: going to try and do that, and it still happened.

934
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 1: So we'll see how that defense fares against Oklahoma in

935
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. But seventy point showing here on

936
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 1: offenses is really solid. I talked a lot about how

937
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 1: I'm not picking Oklahoma State until they get back and

938
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 1: get healthy. They had Tay Martin back out wide and

939
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:57,320
Speaker 1: it made a huge impact. Spencer Sanders looked better, Jalen

940
00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:01,240
Speaker 1: Warren continue to do well on the ground. The defense

941
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 1: continued to play well. Held down K State in a

942
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: really positive way. Duce Vaughan held like twenty two yards.

943
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:10,400
Speaker 1: K State's got like eight quarterbacks. Now I don't know

944
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 1: who's starting at this point.

945
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, Will Howard wasn't the answer, got hurt, kept popping

946
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 3: in and out. They brought in the third string that

947
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 3: Dusvan couldn't get anything going. A lot of drops for

948
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 3: K State long not.

949
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 1: Like real ugly. Yeah, yeah, lot needs to be cleaned up,

950
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:26,320
Speaker 1: but yeah, you're right. Good for Oklahoma State over in

951
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:30,840
Speaker 1: Big Ten territory, Dan Michigan State wins twenty three to

952
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 1: twenty over Nebraska in overtime. We had Michigan winning by

953
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 1: seven over Rutgers twenty to thirteen in a game that

954
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 1: was way closer than it should have been. We had

955
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 1: Iowa who struggled for a good chunk of this game

956
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 1: against Colorado State of all teams. We had Penn State

957
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 1: beating up on Villanova but not dominating the way they

958
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 1: should have. We had Ohio State with a freshman quarterback

959
00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 1: in Kyle McCord as they let C. J. Stroud quote

960
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:03,880
Speaker 1: rest his shoulder, which is weird phrasing.

961
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 2: Yep.

962
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 1: Maryland wins, Indiana wins barely on the road at Western Kentucky.

963
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 1: Northwestern wins Purdue and a terrible, unwatchable game beats Illinois

964
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:16,319
Speaker 1: thirteen to nine. And then there was the Bowling Green

965
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 1: Minnesota thing where Minnesota was favored by about thirty one

966
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 1: points and they lost fourteen to ten with just a

967
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,719
Speaker 1: ton of mistakes and getting stuffed on fourth downs and

968
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:29,719
Speaker 1: fumbles and penalties and tan or Morgan through for like

969
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,399
Speaker 1: fifty nine yards. So where do you want to start?

970
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 1: What jumped out at you in Big Ten play?

971
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:37,959
Speaker 3: Not terribly worried about Iowa. That was a shanked punt

972
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 3: and an interception for two short fields that Colorado State

973
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 3: took over with and then did literally nothing else on offense.

974
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 3: Penn State was good, right, Penn State was.

975
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 1: They were good, They were fine. They did not look fine.

976
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 1: They did not look as dominant as they should have.

977
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,880
Speaker 1: The one thing that I am really focused on right

978
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 1: now is how Sean Clifford looks, because to me, it

979
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 1: feels like it's a new cliff feels like it's a

980
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 1: new cliff This year with Mike Garsid, she threw for

981
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:07,799
Speaker 1: four hundred yards and four touchdowns. It's just he's kind

982
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,240
Speaker 1: of got a different vibe to him, and he's definitely

983
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:13,400
Speaker 1: he always talks about how he's so confident. He's actually

984
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 1: starting to play confident now, which I think is worrisome

985
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 1: for other teams in the Big Ten. He looks good.

986
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a little bit worried about that rushing attackler

987
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 3: on the offensive line in terms of run blocking, and

988
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 3: we saw a little bit of that against Auburn. And

989
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 3: they've got an amazing duel out wide in Johan Dotson

990
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 3: and Parker Washington. I worry about again, some of the

991
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:33,239
Speaker 3: better defenses they're going to face on this schedule, that

992
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:35,759
Speaker 3: if you can't control clock a little bit, if you

993
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:37,839
Speaker 3: can't move the chains on the ground a little bit,

994
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 3: it could get dicey and lose a winnable game.

995
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,840
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be John Lovett, the transfer

996
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 1: up from Baylor. I think he's going to be the

997
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 1: primary by the time we get to the end of

998
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:51,479
Speaker 1: the season. I don't understand how they use running backs.

999
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:54,320
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for the number one guy to emerge, but

1000
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 1: they've got four running backs who could play. Noah Kne's

1001
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 1: been the name, but no, he doesn't have burst. I

1002
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:03,320
Speaker 1: know you like him, he doesn't have burst.

1003
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 3: I don't care about burst as much as turning three

1004
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:07,839
Speaker 3: into eight. That's all I care about. From the running

1005
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 3: back at a certain point, if you can't run the ball,

1006
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:11,400
Speaker 3: who's the guy that can take it from two yards

1007
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:11,879
Speaker 3: to six?

1008
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think love It might be the guy. But

1009
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: he's kind of gotten off to a slow start here

1010
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:18,800
Speaker 1: and didn't play early on. So we'll see more on

1011
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:23,920
Speaker 1: that front. The degree of difficulty of Michigan State exclusively,

1012
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 1: exclusively going three and out in the second half and

1013
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 1: winning a game against at least a decent Nebraska team. Yeah,

1014
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 1: there's nothing special about Nebraska big picture. Overall, this is

1015
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 1: a good defense with a playmaker at quarterback. The degree

1016
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:44,440
Speaker 1: of difficulty with Michigan State fully collapsing on offense in

1017
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 1: the second half and winning this game is astounding. I

1018
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 1: don't know how to better describe it.

1019
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:56,879
Speaker 3: It is the clunkiest clunker to be one from week

1020
00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:59,880
Speaker 3: four as far as I'm concerned, and they did it.

1021
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:04,720
Speaker 3: They somehow pulled it out. And Nebraska, I mean injuries

1022
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 3: at receiver, like just issues along the offensive line. Adrian

1023
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:10,400
Speaker 3: Martinez made plays, but obviously mistakes a big one. I

1024
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:14,359
Speaker 3: I can't believe Michigan State was able to pull out

1025
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 3: that win. It's unreal. I don't know if you have

1026
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 3: anything to add. Minnesota is broken. Minnesota is broke.

1027
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 1: I thought I thought Nebraska had them. Yeah, they had him.

1028
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 1: Their defense is good and Michigan State was held to

1029
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:29,880
Speaker 1: one of ten on third downs through the course of

1030
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:32,800
Speaker 1: this game. As you said, SPARTI had five possessions in

1031
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 1: the second half and all were three and outs. By

1032
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:39,920
Speaker 1: my math, they gained fourteen yards after halftime. So if

1033
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 1: not for a big special teams play from Jalen Reed,

1034
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if they win this game. I don't

1035
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 1: know if they win this game. I will say there

1036
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 1: were two opportunities for a front door cover in overtime,

1037
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 1: because by the time this game kicked off, it was

1038
00:53:57,200 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 1: Michigan State minus four and a half. So this is

1039
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:03,680
Speaker 1: one of my locks, right. The first was on an

1040
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 1: interception in overtime, So Adrian Martinez throws to his right,

1041
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 1: balls picked off, guy goes scooting down the field, makes

1042
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 1: it all the way down to the other side. It

1043
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 1: looks like he's gonna get in. An offensive lineman just

1044
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:19,239
Speaker 1: lays out and kind of knocks his leg out from

1045
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:23,399
Speaker 1: behind him and he goes down. Then in overtime, maybe

1046
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 1: the first or second play in ot Kenny Walker Kenny dubs.

1047
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 1: My boy goes scampering down for like a twenty three

1048
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:34,919
Speaker 1: yard run, just goes down one yard shy the goal line.

1049
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 1: They tried a couple times to punch it in, but no,

1050
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:40,360
Speaker 1: boyno on that front. They end up kicking it to

1051
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 1: win twenty three to twenty In overtime. But look, Michigan

1052
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:46,880
Speaker 1: State's four and oh you know was a clunker. It

1053
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 1: was definite clunker field to it. But four and oh

1054
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 1: they are at least good enough to challenge pretty much

1055
00:54:57,640 --> 00:54:59,919
Speaker 1: anybody else in the Big ten East at this point,

1056
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:03,480
Speaker 1: maybe all the Big ten West, certainly most of the

1057
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 1: Big ten East, because they again they've seen the play

1058
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:11,800
Speaker 1: pretty good defense, They're not doing too much offensively. Do

1059
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 1: you think they can challenge everybody in the Big ten East?

1060
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:19,080
Speaker 1: Contributing one literally one first down was too many in

1061
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 1: the second half, and they're hanging with I mean, I

1062
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 1: understand the Michigan thing.

1063
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:25,759
Speaker 3: I think Michigan's overrated at the moment, but Ohio State

1064
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:29,879
Speaker 3: and Penn State seem like they could score twenty four

1065
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:32,319
Speaker 3: to twenty eight points against a Michigan State team who

1066
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:35,360
Speaker 3: may struggle to do so against those squads.

1067
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:38,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. In a weird year where it feels

1068
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 1: like good enough is gonna have to be good enough.

1069
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 1: It was a letdown moment for sure. I'm not as

1070
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:48,799
Speaker 1: down on Michigan State as you are.

1071
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:51,359
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm not down with them. I think they're pretty good.

1072
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 3: I'm just that kind of performance worries me. It worries me,

1073
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 3: Marci playground team of the Big ten. Your Maryland Terrapins

1074
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:03,600
Speaker 3: just hanging round four and oh, schedule gets very real

1075
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 3: moving forward their next seven they have I Friday. Five

1076
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 3: of their next seven are against ranked teams, so it

1077
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:13,279
Speaker 3: gets trickier. But they're in position to be a bowl team,

1078
00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 3: which is wonderful.

1079
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 1: Maryland beat Kent State thirty seven to two. Sixteen. Let's

1080
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:22,040
Speaker 1: talk about Michigan. Michigan beats Rutgers twenty to thirteen. A

1081
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 1: lot's been made of the start that the Wolverines have

1082
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 1: gotten off to, not necessarily against great teams, but not

1083
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 1: cream puffs either. The ground game's been dynamic. I don't

1084
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 1: know how else you put it. I locked up Michigan here.

1085
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:35,759
Speaker 1: I thought they were gonna run all over Rutgers, but

1086
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:39,759
Speaker 1: clearly that was not the case because Rutgers. Rutgers came

1087
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 1: to play man. They They went to overtime with Michigan

1088
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 1: a year ago. Rutgers contained that rushing attack. They allowed

1089
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:49,759
Speaker 1: one hundred and nine yards on the ground between Blake

1090
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:53,919
Speaker 1: Korum and Sawn Haskins, shut out Michigan in the second half,

1091
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:56,760
Speaker 1: gave themselves an opportunity to tie it up. They couldn't

1092
00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 1: deliver on that, but definitely asking some new questions of

1093
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:04,919
Speaker 1: Michigan that the previous three opponents had.

1094
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:09,880
Speaker 3: Not h Yeah, one of those questions is will Michigan

1095
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 3: continue to run it straight at us when we put

1096
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:14,799
Speaker 3: eight guys in the box. The answer was an emphatic yes.

1097
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 3: The answer for Michigan was like, but we could we

1098
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 3: could keep running it straight at Rutgers as they increased

1099
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 3: the number of humans trying to stop the run near

1100
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:29,000
Speaker 3: the lap scrimmage. Michigan's offense, I mean, I talked about

1101
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:31,160
Speaker 3: being down on it even though they were running all

1102
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:34,840
Speaker 3: over eventually Washington and they ran all over Western Michigan, Like,

1103
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 3: this is not an especially interesting offense in terms of

1104
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 3: giving itself options if something's not working like the RPO game,

1105
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:45,960
Speaker 3: the screen game, you know, the play action game. Like,

1106
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:49,920
Speaker 3: there's not a lot there from Michigan. And when they

1107
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 3: were forced to do something new in the second half,

1108
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 3: they didn't. They scored zero points and hang on and

1109
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:58,919
Speaker 3: hung on against Rutgers. Was it a look ahead spot

1110
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 3: against Wisconsin? I suppose, But zero points in the second

1111
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:05,920
Speaker 3: half against the team bearing down on you that seems worrisome.

1112
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1113
00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 3: I'm kind of down on Michigan in terms of winning

1114
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 3: something significant this year.

1115
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:16,920
Speaker 1: Michigan on the road at Wisconsin next week, which will

1116
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 1: be an interesting matchup before we move on real quick

1117
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:22,920
Speaker 1: on the Ohio State front, they roll over Akron, but

1118
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:27,560
Speaker 1: Kyle McCord got his first start thirteen of eighteen three nineteen,

1119
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, one pick. The more notable moment in this

1120
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 1: game was I believe Cavon Pope quitting during the game.

1121
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 1: Weird situation.

1122
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're run out onto the field, told to come back,

1123
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:41,400
Speaker 3: got into an argument with I think it was Al Washington,

1124
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 3: the assistant coach, one of the assistants for Ohio State's defense,

1125
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 3: and threw his gloves a jersey into the crowd, escorted

1126
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 3: into the locker room, tweeted out f Ohio State. Yeah,

1127
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 3: it was not a great scene behind the scenes for

1128
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 3: the Ohio State defense, well just specifically Pope. So yeah,

1129
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:00,840
Speaker 3: good for a comic Cord coming throw against it. An

1130
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:05,040
Speaker 3: extremely down Acron team, and I think still think Ohio

1131
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:06,680
Speaker 3: State's in a pretty good place because you look at

1132
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 3: the offenses that they're gonna face. I'm not sure who's

1133
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:10,880
Speaker 3: taking advantage of the Kerry Coombs defense. But probably someone

1134
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:12,439
Speaker 3: will all.

1135
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:15,640
Speaker 1: Right over In the SEC, we had Alabama wins sixty

1136
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 1: three to fourteen over Southern miss We had Georgia role

1137
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: my god, they killed Vandy sixty two to nil. Scored

1138
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 1: thirty five points in the first quarter in that game.

1139
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 1: Elsewhere though in the SEC, you know, kind of a

1140
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 1: missmash of different feelings and emotions. LSU wins twenty eight

1141
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:38,479
Speaker 1: to twenty five over Mississippi State. Auburn wins by ten

1142
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:42,480
Speaker 1: in a game where they struggled thirty four to twenty

1143
00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:48,400
Speaker 1: four over Georgia State, Kentucky sixteen to ten over South Carolina,

1144
00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:53,360
Speaker 1: and Florida thirty eight to fourteen over Tennessee. They did

1145
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:56,680
Speaker 1: trail early in the second quarter, the Gators did, but

1146
00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 1: then they clamped down and pretty much shut out Tennessee

1147
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:01,240
Speaker 1: for the last forty one minutes of the game. Emery

1148
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:03,960
Speaker 1: Jones looked good. It seems like Flarda really got its

1149
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 1: act together in the second half. What stood out to

1150
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:07,440
Speaker 1: you in the SEC.

1151
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 3: Bo Nick's getting benched against Georgia states Man, is I

1152
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 3: have never really been a big Auburn offense under bow

1153
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:21,120
Speaker 3: Knicks Guy and you know, some of the bigger wins

1154
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 3: I felt like they won. I mean, he made plays

1155
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:25,920
Speaker 3: in some of those games, but it really came to roost.

1156
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 3: I mean, this is not a guy Brian Harson who

1157
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 3: recruited Bo Nicks. I thought the offense between the line

1158
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:34,040
Speaker 3: between Nicks, between the lack of receivers, like it is

1159
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:36,760
Speaker 3: such a work in progress. It has been torn down

1160
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:38,440
Speaker 3: to the studs, and so I guess you might as

1161
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 3: well look to TJ. Finley for a spark. He wasn't amazing,

1162
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:43,160
Speaker 3: but I guess they played with a little more life

1163
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 3: under TJ.

1164
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 1: Finley. That was something. You know, George is a war

1165
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 1: machine right now. Alabama looked terrific. Kentucky leaned on Chris Rodriguez,

1166
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 1: though he has his own issues. Will Levis is back,

1167
01:00:56,160 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 1: baby to being He's back Penn State.

1168
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:04,720
Speaker 3: Will Levis, that state, Will Levis back. Yeah, he's so nice.

1169
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:06,840
Speaker 3: Win against South Carolina. I guess anytime you can win

1170
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 3: on the road, sure within the division, but yeah, Kentucky's

1171
01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:12,880
Speaker 3: going to be defense and hopefully protecting the ball a

1172
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:17,160
Speaker 3: little bit better for their wins this year Florida Tennessee.

1173
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:19,040
Speaker 3: I would just I came away very impressed with Florida

1174
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:22,440
Speaker 3: in the ability for Dan Mullen to shape shift this offense.

1175
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:24,040
Speaker 3: You know, last year it's so much through the air,

1176
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:27,320
Speaker 3: considering Kyle Pitts, considering those receivers, And I thought Emory

1177
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:30,400
Speaker 3: Jones from just a dual threat ability standpoint, I mean,

1178
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:34,640
Speaker 3: the rushing attack was again in full gear with all

1179
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 3: those backs, and I thought he looked sharp throwing the ball,

1180
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 3: and they weathered. It was a long touchdown from a

1181
01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:43,160
Speaker 3: screen and a long touchdown pass from Tennessee and Hendon Hooker.

1182
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:45,560
Speaker 3: But then he's beat up and they look rattled against

1183
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 3: the crowd in the swamp. So really nice win for

1184
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:51,280
Speaker 3: Florida to separate themselves from arrival. And it seems like

1185
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 3: Emory Jones is getting more comfortable too totally, which you

1186
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 3: have to feel good about. Anthony Richardson did not play.

1187
01:01:57,120 --> 01:01:59,439
Speaker 3: He was still nursing the hamstring. It sounds like he's

1188
01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:03,200
Speaker 3: going to be fully cleared for practice as of tomorrow

1189
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:10,200
Speaker 3: and he'll resume whatever I think as well their cornerback, right, Yeah,

1190
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:13,040
Speaker 3: that will be helpful to get both those guys back in.

1191
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:15,919
Speaker 1: Whatever capacity they opt to use. Richardson, There's no doubt

1192
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:19,120
Speaker 1: he is He's a weapon that they can use. We

1193
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:23,760
Speaker 1: didn't mention Lsussissippi State all that much, but LSU led

1194
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 1: twenty one to three in the third quarter and then

1195
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:30,600
Speaker 1: twenty eight to ten early in the fourth. Mississippi State

1196
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:34,439
Speaker 1: made a late charge behind two touchdown passes from Will

1197
01:02:34,600 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 1: Rogers and then a two point conversion to get this

1198
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:39,440
Speaker 1: one to twenty eight to twenty five. They went for

1199
01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:43,360
Speaker 1: the on site kick, didn't get it. Four touchdowns and

1200
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:48,720
Speaker 1: a pick for Max Johnson. I clocked the speed of

1201
01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:51,480
Speaker 1: that interception. He threw it at maybe eighteen and a

1202
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:55,000
Speaker 1: half miles per hour. Yeah, that was the slowest ball

1203
01:02:56,160 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 1: I've seen since Bryant Monies played at Hawaii. There is

1204
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:01,760
Speaker 1: a bit of a junk ball or quality to Max

1205
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:04,760
Speaker 1: Johnson's throwing, and he makes it work for him largely,

1206
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:07,400
Speaker 1: it makes it works for himself. Large off speed stuff

1207
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:09,760
Speaker 1: Dan a lot of circle change coming in.

1208
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 3: LSU has offensive line issues, they have issues running the ball. Defensively,

1209
01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:18,400
Speaker 3: they're in a pretty good place, but gave up some

1210
01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 3: some decent chunky plays. But Mississippi State just I mean

1211
01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:24,480
Speaker 3: making the mistakes at the end of drives that they did,

1212
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:27,080
Speaker 3: just unable to finish. They are a team that is

1213
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:29,160
Speaker 3: very much a work in progress offensively.

1214
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:33,840
Speaker 1: All right, let's scoot over to the ACC. Dan, let's

1215
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 1: what is going on in the ACC. My god, I

1216
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:40,320
Speaker 1: don't know, but I love it. ACC. Okay, here we go.

1217
01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:45,400
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech forty five, North Carolina twenty two, Wake Forest

1218
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 1: thirty seven to seventeen over Virginia. Don't look now, Wake

1219
01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:53,840
Speaker 1: Forest undefeated. What do we called? Aren't we are wake watchers?

1220
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:56,080
Speaker 1: We are wake watchers? Eight? No, Wake is that that's

1221
01:03:56,120 --> 01:03:56,640
Speaker 1: the number? Eight?

1222
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:56,840
Speaker 2: No?

1223
01:03:57,120 --> 01:04:02,200
Speaker 1: Yeah? Boston College forty one, MISSOO thirty four. In overtime,

1224
01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:06,320
Speaker 1: Louisville knocks off Florida State. Florida State now zho to four.

1225
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:10,920
Speaker 1: We had Syracuse over Liberty with a nice win for

1226
01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 1: Dino Babers twenty four to twenty one, Pit by seventy

1227
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:18,000
Speaker 1: over New Hampshire, Virginia Tech by eleven over Richmond, and

1228
01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:24,200
Speaker 1: Miami by sixty nine, nice over Central Connecticut. Romelo Brinson

1229
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:25,440
Speaker 1: by the way of Miami. I don't know if you

1230
01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:28,040
Speaker 1: saw his catch, didn't That might be the catch of

1231
01:04:28,080 --> 01:04:29,920
Speaker 1: the year at college football. One of those deals where

1232
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 1: he was running and it was thrown back shoulder by

1233
01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:35,520
Speaker 1: Jake Garcia. Who got the start or who played? I

1234
01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:38,040
Speaker 1: should say, yeah, Van Dyke got the start. I played

1235
01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:40,680
Speaker 1: for Miami and just kind of reached back behind it

1236
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:43,040
Speaker 1: and caught it one hand that it was incredible catch

1237
01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:44,640
Speaker 1: if you haven't had a chance to see the highlights.

1238
01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:50,000
Speaker 1: And finally, Duke fifty two Kansas thirty three, Dan Graham

1239
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:55,960
Speaker 1: Holberg Holmburg three twenty eight one touchdown, one interception, eighty

1240
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:58,160
Speaker 1: eight yards in the ground, had four touchdowns for the

1241
01:04:58,240 --> 01:04:59,320
Speaker 1: Duke Blue Devils.

1242
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:03,200
Speaker 3: With BC winning with a backup quarterback winning on the ground.

1243
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:06,320
Speaker 3: They completely suffocated Miszoo in the third quarter, but then

1244
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:09,160
Speaker 3: a nice comeback from Miszoo, but again a nice win

1245
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:13,160
Speaker 3: for Boston College. Who BC hasn't lost, right, Nope, Nope,

1246
01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:16,600
Speaker 3: four and oh despite losing the jerky boy philed Jerkovic,

1247
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:19,560
Speaker 3: Georgia Tech over North Carolina.

1248
01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:22,080
Speaker 1: Oh man, we need to say, Jeff Sims get to

1249
01:05:22,200 --> 01:05:22,800
Speaker 1: talk about this.

1250
01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:26,520
Speaker 3: Benched, Jordan Yates struggles early, Jeff Sims is back with

1251
01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:31,960
Speaker 3: his legs, with his arm, and North Carolina swallowed up

1252
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:35,280
Speaker 3: by Georgia Tech's defense. Sam Howell with the fumbles in

1253
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:38,360
Speaker 3: the sacks and no running game. The offensive line is

1254
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:43,680
Speaker 3: a mess and Georgia Tech like losing to Northern Illinois

1255
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:48,439
Speaker 3: then nearly beating Clemson and beating North Carolina is such

1256
01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:51,800
Speaker 3: a like a great rocky road the reck.

1257
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:55,120
Speaker 1: I love it. What what a performance by the defensive line,

1258
01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:59,000
Speaker 1: Andy l Yeah, partially that is because of UNC and

1259
01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 1: some of their issues up front. Okay, but thirteen tackles

1260
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:08,760
Speaker 1: for loss, eight sacks of Sam Howe, the two fumbles

1261
01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:11,520
Speaker 1: which you mentioned before, that was clearly the story that

1262
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:15,320
Speaker 1: set the tone for this football games. And Jeff Simms Man,

1263
01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:17,400
Speaker 1: I'll call it out again. He had been on the

1264
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:19,360
Speaker 1: shelf for a couple of weeks, got hurt in Week one,

1265
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:24,320
Speaker 1: but when he stepped in late in the first half,

1266
01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:27,920
Speaker 1: it just went on a tear like ten of thirteen

1267
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:30,760
Speaker 1: one to twelve passing a touchdown through the air, one

1268
01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:34,280
Speaker 1: twenty eight and three touchdowns on the ground. Remember this

1269
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:36,800
Speaker 1: is the guy. This is a guy that they tried

1270
01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:38,720
Speaker 1: to go with initially before he got hurt, and so

1271
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:40,960
Speaker 1: to come in now and play the way that he

1272
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:43,320
Speaker 1: did a big spot against North Carolina is a pretty

1273
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:47,080
Speaker 1: big deal for them. So good on Georgia Tech forgetting

1274
01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:48,880
Speaker 1: this win and for Jeff Collins for getting off the

1275
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:53,160
Speaker 1: schneide because he had not beaten a ranked team since

1276
01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:56,760
Speaker 1: taking the job. North Carolina, by the way, is two

1277
01:06:56,800 --> 01:06:59,400
Speaker 1: and two, and they only have like two gimmes left

1278
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:03,960
Speaker 1: in my They played Duke, they played Wafford, But outside

1279
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:07,360
Speaker 1: of those two teams, man, I I don't know, it's

1280
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:09,600
Speaker 1: not I'm not feeling great about where this team is

1281
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:12,080
Speaker 1: going in twenty twenty one. You ever go to a

1282
01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:15,840
Speaker 1: water park, tie d I mean I have? Have you

1283
01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:17,800
Speaker 1: ever been to a water park? You know that every water.

1284
01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:21,840
Speaker 3: Park has that huge, huge drop slide where it seems

1285
01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:24,080
Speaker 3: fun and maybe I'm just speaking for myself here, then

1286
01:07:24,080 --> 01:07:25,200
Speaker 3: you get to the top and you're like, well this

1287
01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:27,400
Speaker 3: is a lot scarier and higher than I thought it

1288
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:31,440
Speaker 3: was gonna be. I think that's what North Carolina's quarterback

1289
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:33,360
Speaker 3: of the future, Drake may might be thinking right now

1290
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:35,360
Speaker 3: looking at the offensive line play where like I.

1291
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:37,520
Speaker 1: Didn't, I didn't anticipate this.

1292
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:40,720
Speaker 3: When I committed to North Carolina. I know he's North

1293
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:43,080
Speaker 3: Carolina legacy, but like, you have to be looking at

1294
01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:45,600
Speaker 3: the results here that if you're an excellent quarterback like

1295
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:48,600
Speaker 3: Sam Howell usually is, and he's struggling to get this

1296
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:52,760
Speaker 3: offense going because of the struggles up front. That's it's

1297
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:56,480
Speaker 3: a long term, worrying prospect for North Carolina because those things,

1298
01:07:56,560 --> 01:07:58,680
Speaker 3: those types of things don't get solved overnight.

1299
01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:01,000
Speaker 1: And you can't even transfer over to Clemson anymore. That

1300
01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:03,959
Speaker 1: line is semi permeable. I don't know where you're going

1301
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:07,840
Speaker 1: if you are a promising acc quarterback right now, Like,

1302
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know what the answer is,

1303
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:12,280
Speaker 1: Like who has the most promising future offensive line? That

1304
01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:17,439
Speaker 1: just is a quarterback away? Wake wins by twenty over Virginia.

1305
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:21,680
Speaker 1: This was an earlier game this week. Virginia's defense very

1306
01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:25,680
Speaker 1: secretly kind of a disaster, no secret tie. Yeah, six

1307
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:29,240
Speaker 1: ninety nine total yards allowed last week against North Carolina.

1308
01:08:29,280 --> 01:08:34,320
Speaker 1: The aforementioned tar heels four seventy three allowed this week,

1309
01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:41,679
Speaker 1: but brenand Armstrong still, Yeah, he's getting the Nick Foles Award.

1310
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:44,679
Speaker 1: He had four oh seven, two touchdowns on a pick

1311
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:49,760
Speaker 1: in a losing effort, and just real quick, Dan, I

1312
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:51,960
Speaker 1: have to believe Mike Norvel is on the hot seat,

1313
01:08:52,880 --> 01:08:55,200
Speaker 1: I would think, so, I have to believe he's on

1314
01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:59,640
Speaker 1: the hot seat. FSU zero to four, only two of

1315
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:03,000
Speaker 1: their many eight games or obvious wins with I think Syracuse.

1316
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:05,840
Speaker 1: I'll count Syracuse and U mass in a couple of weeks.

1317
01:09:06,640 --> 01:09:09,360
Speaker 1: At one point they trailed thirty one to seven in

1318
01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:13,400
Speaker 1: the second quarter. Malie Cunningham just carved him up. So

1319
01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:16,599
Speaker 1: we can talk about Louisville another day. How they're three

1320
01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:20,479
Speaker 1: and one. Maybe being overlooked. I don't know, but Florida

1321
01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:22,519
Speaker 1: State does not seem like it's in a really good place.

1322
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:25,519
Speaker 1: Whenever you're down thirty one to seven that early in

1323
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:27,559
Speaker 1: the game, I start worrying that the team is quit

1324
01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:30,840
Speaker 1: on the coach. And if they're quitting on Norvel, it's over.

1325
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:33,920
Speaker 1: It's done. Just get it over with. Yeah, I don't know.

1326
01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:36,000
Speaker 3: I mean they run the hell out of the ball

1327
01:09:36,200 --> 01:09:39,519
Speaker 3: Chase Shawn Corbin like that element of their offense, just

1328
01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:41,880
Speaker 3: that their defense in their passing game. And I thought

1329
01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:44,839
Speaker 3: the was the Kansas receiver who came in, Andrew Parchman,

1330
01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:47,320
Speaker 3: I believe, yeah, yaha, yeah, I thought he was going

1331
01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 3: to add a really nice, uh just factor to this offense.

1332
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:52,519
Speaker 3: As I try to not say the word element too much,

1333
01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:58,200
Speaker 3: but yeah, there's something just just off that there's they're

1334
01:09:58,240 --> 01:10:00,479
Speaker 3: not only not turning a corner, but they're no near

1335
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:04,040
Speaker 3: the corner on offense when you come out this flat, yeah,

1336
01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:07,000
Speaker 3: week in and week out. That's it's a preparation thing.

1337
01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:09,599
Speaker 3: It's a ready to play, it's a game planning, it's

1338
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:13,719
Speaker 3: an anticipation thing that Florida State just doesn't seem to have. Also,

1339
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:17,720
Speaker 3: not a secret that Virginia's defense is terrible. They're they're

1340
01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:20,679
Speaker 3: my matre d team of the twenty twenty one college

1341
01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:25,920
Speaker 3: football season right this way. Ah, yes see, I have

1342
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:26,599
Speaker 3: a soundboard too.

1343
01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:27,519
Speaker 1: That's good. That's good.

1344
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:32,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, So that's no secret. I want to mention Syracuse

1345
01:10:32,160 --> 01:10:34,959
Speaker 3: real quick, great defense, They ran the ball, they survived.

1346
01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:37,439
Speaker 3: Carrier Dome is a tough place to play. Really cool

1347
01:10:37,479 --> 01:10:39,320
Speaker 3: for Syracuse, who now moved to three and one with

1348
01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:41,560
Speaker 3: I mean, Malik Willis is going to be one of

1349
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:44,320
Speaker 3: the absolute better quarterbacks they play, and so to get

1350
01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:47,920
Speaker 3: that win really nice for them. Otherwise, I don't think

1351
01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:48,840
Speaker 3: I have much to add.

1352
01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:51,160
Speaker 1: Well, and by the way, Willis played pretty well, he

1353
01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:54,639
Speaker 1: had a good game, but Syracuse just got it done

1354
01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:58,679
Speaker 1: mostly on the ground. Yeah, they finally went with Garrett

1355
01:10:58,680 --> 01:11:04,040
Speaker 1: Schrader or back exclusively. Wasn't great, throwing six to fifteen

1356
01:11:04,560 --> 01:11:06,599
Speaker 1: seventy seven yards, but again it was on the ground

1357
01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:09,280
Speaker 1: where they made their Hey, Sean Tucker had a nice day,

1358
01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:13,280
Speaker 1: won sixty nine a touchdown, and Garrett Trader sixteen attempts

1359
01:11:13,320 --> 01:11:16,080
Speaker 1: on the ground fifty three yards and two touchdowns to

1360
01:11:16,120 --> 01:11:20,200
Speaker 1: transfer up from Mississippi State. So good on Syracuse. This

1361
01:11:20,360 --> 01:11:22,640
Speaker 1: is a big win. One of those games that I

1362
01:11:22,680 --> 01:11:24,400
Speaker 1: think we talked about before the start of the year.

1363
01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:28,559
Speaker 1: As you know, Liberty could take him down. It's possible

1364
01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:31,599
Speaker 1: here and Syracuse gets a job done. So good, good

1365
01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:34,800
Speaker 1: on them all right. Finally, let's go the Pack twelve

1366
01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:41,640
Speaker 1: dan so per the Great College Football Reddit community. Underdogs

1367
01:11:41,680 --> 01:11:45,000
Speaker 1: in the PAC twelve at Night so called PAC twelve

1368
01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:49,040
Speaker 1: after Dark are sixteen and two against the point spread

1369
01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:51,680
Speaker 1: so far this year. It's pretty good. It'd make a

1370
01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:53,960
Speaker 1: lot of money. Good, a lot of money just going

1371
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:57,880
Speaker 1: on dogs, which you have been trying to proclaim and

1372
01:11:58,040 --> 01:12:00,800
Speaker 1: scream from the top of your lungs all year. M hmm.

1373
01:12:01,200 --> 01:12:05,200
Speaker 1: It worked out for you last week for sure. Here's

1374
01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:09,439
Speaker 1: what happened in the PAC twelve Okay, UCLA thirty five,

1375
01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:13,720
Speaker 1: Stanford twenty four. We had Oregon winning forty one to

1376
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:19,439
Speaker 1: nineteen over Arizona. Oregon State knocks off USC forty five

1377
01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:25,559
Speaker 1: to twenty seven. Utah comes from behind to knock off

1378
01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:30,040
Speaker 1: Washington State by a twenty four to thirteen score. Washington

1379
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:33,559
Speaker 1: needs overtime to knock off CAL thirty one to twenty four,

1380
01:12:34,200 --> 01:12:38,160
Speaker 1: and Arizona State took it to Colorado by a thirty

1381
01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:44,360
Speaker 1: five to thirteen score. Yeah, Oregon led just twenty four

1382
01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:49,559
Speaker 1: to nineteen in the fourth quarter. Yeah, what the hell

1383
01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:51,599
Speaker 1: is that about? Arizona is not good?

1384
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:54,439
Speaker 3: And not only is Arizona not good, they'd lost I

1385
01:12:54,439 --> 01:12:56,880
Speaker 3: think fourteen or fifteen in a row coming into this game.

1386
01:12:57,560 --> 01:13:02,000
Speaker 3: Oregon came out really impressively. They throw a long touchdown

1387
01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:05,840
Speaker 3: pass Anthony Brown to Jalen Red. They quickly turn they

1388
01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:09,800
Speaker 3: quickly pick off Jordan McLoud the USF transfer and turn

1389
01:13:09,880 --> 01:13:11,680
Speaker 3: that into three points. It was not a great red

1390
01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:14,800
Speaker 3: zone situation, but whatever, you turned it into points, that's fine.

1391
01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:17,640
Speaker 3: You turn turnover into points, it's always good. And then

1392
01:13:17,680 --> 01:13:20,240
Speaker 3: the offense just kind of disappeared. The defense couldn't get

1393
01:13:20,280 --> 01:13:23,400
Speaker 3: off the field. Organ's particularly thin at linebacker right now.

1394
01:13:23,520 --> 01:13:26,200
Speaker 3: There were penalties and bad spots. Noah Suwell had a

1395
01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:29,120
Speaker 3: roughing the passer penalty on third and long, which bailed

1396
01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:31,240
Speaker 3: out Arizona, which I didn't actually think it was a penalty,

1397
01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:33,360
Speaker 3: but whatever it was called, and so therefore it is.

1398
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:37,960
Speaker 3: And just going downfield, Anthony Brown looked beat up. The

1399
01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:40,720
Speaker 3: offensive line struggled at times Forgon. Organ's another one of

1400
01:13:40,720 --> 01:13:42,280
Speaker 3: those teams I think is good. I think they're a

1401
01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:44,000
Speaker 3: good team. I just don't think they're a great team.

1402
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:46,800
Speaker 3: They're number three or four right now as we're recording this.

1403
01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:48,679
Speaker 3: They are not a top five team in the country

1404
01:13:48,720 --> 01:13:51,720
Speaker 3: to me. They're thin on defense, and you know, they

1405
01:13:51,760 --> 01:13:53,439
Speaker 3: got turnovers in the second half. They had a pick

1406
01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:55,400
Speaker 3: six that made the score look a little bit different

1407
01:13:55,439 --> 01:13:58,559
Speaker 3: than what the tenor of the game was. And one

1408
01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:00,360
Speaker 3: of those drives I think was all on the ground

1409
01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:02,679
Speaker 3: for a touchdown, like two or three long running plays

1410
01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:06,360
Speaker 3: for Oregon. So yeah, to not separate yourself from a

1411
01:14:06,400 --> 01:14:09,160
Speaker 3: team that has struggled to the extent that Arizona has struggled,

1412
01:14:09,920 --> 01:14:12,519
Speaker 3: it's it's a little bit concerning. Oregon gets up for

1413
01:14:12,560 --> 01:14:15,040
Speaker 3: the big games, but they have this tendency under Mario

1414
01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:18,960
Speaker 3: Christobal to play down to those lesser, those clearly lesser opponents,

1415
01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:22,120
Speaker 3: and if Arizona gets some dudes in that program, I

1416
01:14:22,160 --> 01:14:24,560
Speaker 3: think They're well coached. Don Brown's running the defense. I

1417
01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:27,160
Speaker 3: think Jed fish Is will do a good job with

1418
01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:29,880
Speaker 3: that offense. They kept drives moving on you know, third

1419
01:14:29,920 --> 01:14:32,800
Speaker 3: and medium. They did good situational things. They just don't

1420
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:36,120
Speaker 3: have the guys right now. Oregon escapes with a twenty

1421
01:14:36,160 --> 01:14:38,680
Speaker 3: two point win or whatever the math ends up with

1422
01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:39,320
Speaker 3: forty one.

1423
01:14:40,720 --> 01:14:41,160
Speaker 1: Twenty two.

1424
01:14:41,240 --> 01:14:41,519
Speaker 5: There you go.

1425
01:14:41,720 --> 01:14:44,200
Speaker 1: So would you be open to calling Oregon the Eugene

1426
01:14:44,320 --> 01:14:44,920
Speaker 1: mud Hens.

1427
01:14:46,760 --> 01:14:49,640
Speaker 3: I guess I don't know, because they play up to

1428
01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:52,519
Speaker 3: I mean, they they show up to their huge games,

1429
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:54,559
Speaker 3: So I don't I don't know how we evaluate this team.

1430
01:14:54,720 --> 01:15:00,280
Speaker 3: But DTR beat up wills Ucla to a win after

1431
01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:02,599
Speaker 3: Stanford ties it up. I don't know what is hell

1432
01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:05,320
Speaker 3: status is at the moment. Zach Charbonnay ran wild. The

1433
01:15:05,400 --> 01:15:08,479
Speaker 3: defense came to play against Stanford. Stanford was without a

1434
01:15:08,560 --> 01:15:11,800
Speaker 3: ton of guys, but Ucla on the road on the

1435
01:15:11,880 --> 01:15:15,800
Speaker 3: farm a really impressive win. Oregon State is I don't know.

1436
01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:18,320
Speaker 3: Is Chance Nolan one of the best three quarterbacks in

1437
01:15:18,400 --> 01:15:21,080
Speaker 3: the conference. He had really impressive in this offense.

1438
01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:23,920
Speaker 1: He's really oppressive. We were joking around this morning that

1439
01:15:24,120 --> 01:15:27,479
Speaker 1: it's pretty much Drake Wondon versus the world at this

1440
01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:29,640
Speaker 1: point that maybe he is playing to try and be

1441
01:15:29,760 --> 01:15:32,280
Speaker 1: traded for future consideration.

1442
01:15:32,360 --> 01:15:35,200
Speaker 3: The USC needs to get some value for him because

1443
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:38,599
Speaker 3: this team isn't going anywhere this year. Yeah, Oregon State's

1444
01:15:38,640 --> 01:15:40,479
Speaker 3: just I mean, Jonathan Smith has done a really nice

1445
01:15:40,600 --> 01:15:43,639
Speaker 3: job filling that roster up with guys, not necessarily dudes,

1446
01:15:43,680 --> 01:15:46,320
Speaker 3: but guys who can win pack twelve games and we

1447
01:15:46,439 --> 01:15:50,120
Speaker 3: now have what competitive wreckers against Michigan, Oregon State beating USC,

1448
01:15:50,720 --> 01:15:53,320
Speaker 3: Arkansas beating Texas, A and M and Texas. Like there's

1449
01:15:53,360 --> 01:15:56,360
Speaker 3: this like a nice undercurrent, a nice sea change happening

1450
01:15:57,120 --> 01:15:59,240
Speaker 3: from where these teams were a few years ago. So

1451
01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:02,840
Speaker 3: Oregon State, even with some bad refereeing which went against them, Yeah,

1452
01:16:02,960 --> 01:16:05,240
Speaker 3: really impressive win to to to go to LA and

1453
01:16:05,280 --> 01:16:09,240
Speaker 3: beat a you know, definitely flawed USC team. Washington turns

1454
01:16:09,280 --> 01:16:12,360
Speaker 3: over Cal I think three times, and they're able to

1455
01:16:12,520 --> 01:16:15,000
Speaker 3: escape with a win after going up comfortably in that game,

1456
01:16:15,400 --> 01:16:17,439
Speaker 3: but at least they're scoring points, but that that game

1457
01:16:17,479 --> 01:16:20,360
Speaker 3: gets taken to overtime. Cal had some success through the air,

1458
01:16:20,439 --> 01:16:23,080
Speaker 3: their defense just isn't where it was. I think you

1459
01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:26,320
Speaker 3: mentioned ASU Colorado. Comfortable win for ASU Colorado is just

1460
01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:29,800
Speaker 3: a broken team. Washington State blows a lead man there

1461
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:31,599
Speaker 3: half positivity in the second half.

1462
01:16:31,680 --> 01:16:34,880
Speaker 1: Garrett Guarantano got the call with three picks. Hello, old friend,

1463
01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:40,080
Speaker 1: welcome back to college football. Yeah. Utah needed what fourteen

1464
01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:43,479
Speaker 1: points in the fourth quarter to come from behind and

1465
01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:46,000
Speaker 1: win at home. Yeah for Wazoo.

1466
01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:49,040
Speaker 3: If you remember those old Michigan State teams who would

1467
01:16:49,439 --> 01:16:51,479
Speaker 3: look good for three quarters and like that's it, that's all,

1468
01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:55,519
Speaker 3: there's a little bit of that with Wazoo on a

1469
01:16:55,760 --> 01:16:56,400
Speaker 3: worse level.

1470
01:16:57,080 --> 01:17:03,200
Speaker 1: Okay, elsewhere we had Fresno closely should have been against UNLV.

1471
01:17:03,520 --> 01:17:06,040
Speaker 1: UNLV's went down spot not great, but thirty eight to

1472
01:17:06,080 --> 01:17:10,439
Speaker 1: thirty they get the dub Coastal rolls over U MASS

1473
01:17:10,479 --> 01:17:12,679
Speaker 1: fifty three to three. I feel like U Mass plays

1474
01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:16,320
Speaker 1: every team. All the big teams get you Mass BYU

1475
01:17:17,240 --> 01:17:21,760
Speaker 1: thirty five twenty seven over USF. They remain unbeaten as well.

1476
01:17:22,560 --> 01:17:24,320
Speaker 1: Any other games that you want to throw out there.

1477
01:17:25,560 --> 01:17:27,560
Speaker 3: I have the Pat League scoreboard if that interest y.

1478
01:17:27,880 --> 01:17:30,360
Speaker 3: Columbia beat down Georgetown, not beat them down, but thirty

1479
01:17:30,360 --> 01:17:33,320
Speaker 3: five to twenty four. Colgate did beat down your engineers

1480
01:17:33,360 --> 01:17:36,400
Speaker 3: of Lehigh thirty to three. Holy Cross forty five to fifteen,

1481
01:17:36,439 --> 01:17:38,960
Speaker 3: cross Aders three and one, three and all away from home,

1482
01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:42,240
Speaker 3: take down Monmouth by thirty. Lafayette takes down Penn.

1483
01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:46,599
Speaker 1: What's up? Quakers up? Us? Up's up? Fordham comfortable went

1484
01:17:46,640 --> 01:17:50,200
Speaker 1: over Stonybrook. So there you go. I was watching the

1485
01:17:50,240 --> 01:17:54,320
Speaker 1: Notre Dame game with Mama h and she looked at

1486
01:17:54,320 --> 01:17:59,479
Speaker 1: the scoreboard. She says, does Leehi ever win? I guess

1487
01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:00,679
Speaker 1: sometimes I don't know poor.

1488
01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:02,720
Speaker 3: Lehigh By the way, UTSA is my I was. I

1489
01:18:02,840 --> 01:18:05,840
Speaker 3: was messaging you about them, the road Runners four and

1490
01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:08,879
Speaker 3: oh wins over a big ten team, a win over Memphis.

1491
01:18:09,280 --> 01:18:13,519
Speaker 3: Schedules looking real nice. Sincere McCormick, Jeff Trailer, I'm just saying,

1492
01:18:14,479 --> 01:18:16,920
Speaker 3: UTSA is gonna win a whole bunch of games this year.

1493
01:18:17,439 --> 01:18:21,519
Speaker 1: I think we are all roadrunners. We are all road

1494
01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:25,040
Speaker 1: running roadrunners, thing me somewhere in the studio. Yeah it

1495
01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:31,680
Speaker 1: was good. Okay, let's go to our dood alerts. Who
