I've heard 3 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:10,639 Speaker 2: so many players say, well, I want to be happy. 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 2: You want to be happy for a day? Eat a steak? 5 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:19,440 Speaker 1: Is that woo woo? And no them and tie Dan Rubinstein, 6 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 1: welcome back.

Are you good with like a sniff test? 11 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 2: Or you just go for it with the leftovers? 12 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,560 Speaker 1: Usually go sniff test. If I'm still uncertain, I go 13 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 1: Google dot com okay, And if I'm still uncertain, then 14 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: we just chuck it fair. 15 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,480 Speaker 2: That's reasonable.

I 24 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 2: think I even like I tossed you an opportunity. We 25 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,119 Speaker 2: can go back and listen to the tape. I tossed 26 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 2: you an opportunity like, hey, anything interesting about like NIU 27 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 2: Notre Dame. And you're just like ah, like you threw 28 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 2: that away. I think that was like an after we 29 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 2: previewed everything we thought worthy of previewing. I asked you 30 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 2: about that is like, is there anything interesting there? And 31 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 2: I you Notre Dame and you was like eh, I was, 32 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 2: And that was it. I was wrong about a lot 33 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:28,759 Speaker 2: of things. 34 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: Well we both were, and it is just sort of 35 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: the reason for the season here.

Georgia, Texas, Ohio 61 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: State one, two, three, No huge surprises there all, Miss Alabama, 62 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: Tennessee a contingent now of three SEC teams four through six. 63 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 1: We've got Miami, Miszoo, and Penn State as the next three, 64 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: and then to round this thing out, USC, Oregon and Utah. Notably, 65 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 1: Notre Dame Michigan no longer in the top twelve, not 66 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: a huge surprise. There a lot of shuffling as people 67 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: changed their mind about some of these teams based on 68 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: what they saw in week two. Right, Penn States one 69 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: of those teams. Oregon one of those teams. Maybe we 70 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: can talk about that Oregon game a little bit more 71 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: since it went deep into the night and it concluded 72 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: after we hit the stop button on our podcast recording, 73 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 1: I will add that in the others receiving votes category. 74 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: The two teams that would be the next in in 75 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: our for. 76 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 2: Baller top twelve Central Connecticut State. Central Connecticut did win No. 77 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 2: Nine's just win tie. They dominated the rams of Fordham 78 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 2: Can they dominated just like I told you'd beware sent Coon. 79 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 2: I know. 80 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: The next two in would be Kansas State and Oklahoma State, 81 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: rounding out this discussion talking about the Big twelve. So 82 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: that's where ourver Bawlers are at. Of those teams. Of 83 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: those teams, which do you find the most interesting, the 84 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: most appealing, the most disappointing. Should we start with your 85 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: Oregon ducts? Is that where we want to start this 86 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: conversation because I feel like that's where I want to 87 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: go with it. 88 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I just watched the Notre Dame niu'd game. So 89 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 2: I guess Notre Dame not being in that top twelve 90 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 2: means I can't answer Notre Dame of those teams the 91 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 2: most disappointing. I'm personally the most disappointed with Oregon, but 92 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 2: I pay the closest attention to that team. So no, 93 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 2: I think it's hard to answer a question like that 94 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 2: because you know, ole miss who's old misplayed? Right, the 95 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 2: number of these teams who's missoo played. Miami's got the 96 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 2: nice win over Florida, but like, there's a lot of 97 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 2: incomplete performances. Obviously, George's win over Clemson looks a lot better. 98 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 2: Texas has win over Michigan, whatever you think of Michigan's 99 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 2: you know, ceiling this season. To go there and at 100 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 2: least do what they did to that defense, it's crazy impressive. Like, so, 101 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 2: it's just such a mixed bag because of a two 102 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 2: game sample size. Yes, of those teams in there, given 103 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 2: what seemed to be the universal expectation, it's probably Oregon 104 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 2: struggling with an FCS team in Idaho to separate until 105 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 2: late and then beating Boise State, who you think, we'll 106 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 2: be a pretty good team, but not built like Oregon, 107 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 2: not you know, invested in like the powers that be 108 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 2: at Oregon have invested in this Oregon roster, and with 109 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 2: how the Ducks looked on offense specifically, because I think 110 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 2: on defense, like Ashton Genty got his those were completely understandable. 111 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 2: He's just a different kind of guy and he got 112 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 2: I think one ninety two is what he finished with. 113 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 2: But it was a couple of really long runs and 114 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 2: for the most part, Oregon did an okay job, as 115 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 2: good a job as you can do, and then they 116 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 2: just completely flat and boise in their passing attack. So 117 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 2: Oregon relative to their schedule and performance against Yeah, I 118 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 2: would say probably that. That's my answer. 119 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: One question that's been bouncing around in my mind, especially 120 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: after the Notre Dame game and now recently after the 121 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: Oregon win thirty seven to thirty four. They needed a 122 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: field goal at the gun to get that win. Yes, 123 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: the entire conversation around Oregon this offseason was how they 124 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: were loading up. From a talent standpoint, they have not 125 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 1: looked good on offense, especially along the line. Ashton Gint, 126 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 1: who I agree is a different kind of cat altogether. 127 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: He's going to play in the league next year. It 128 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: might be the first running back off the board correct destroyed, 129 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: their defensive line went for one ninety whatever it was. 130 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: I compare that a little bit to many the same 131 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: conversations that went on on the Notre Dame side as well, 132 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: where they go out in the portal. They beef up 133 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 1: the roster. Maybe not quite to the same extent as 134 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: Oregon did, but it was another situation where it felt 135 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: like it was all there in front of him. Now, 136 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 1: Notre Dame lost, Oregon didn't. But my question is whether 137 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 1: Notre Dame and Oregon at this point are identical cousins. 138 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 1: We've got very similar narratives there. Right, the playoff expectation 139 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: was real for both of these schools. It still could 140 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: be real. Organ hasn't lost, Yeah, still could be real 141 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: for Notre Dame. Who knows, ways how the way this 142 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: thing goes before all of a sudden done. We just 143 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: don't know a lot ideal schedules, playoff expectations, talent that 144 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: is at near the top of college football, and yet 145 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: we find ourselves two weeks in for different reasons, mind you, 146 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: but still feeling a bit underwhelmed. Notre Dame took the 147 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: loss to NIU Oregon very nearly lost this past week 148 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: to Boise. Week one against Idaho was underwhelming to say 149 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: the least. Is that a fair comparison to draw at 150 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: this point? 151 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, given performances, given expectations, given the the the big 152 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 2: name transfers in Yeah, I think there are some parallels. 153 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 2: Dan Lanning hasn't lost a game to a team like 154 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 2: NIU in the way that Marcus Freeman has both now 155 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 2: lost to NIU and Marshall a couple of years ago. 156 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 2: And so I don't know if the analog between Marcus 157 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 2: Freeman and Dan Lanning is apt, but in terms of 158 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 2: how they've started out this year, I mean, I think 159 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 2: Notre Dame beating Texas A and M in College Station 160 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 2: is still a bigger deal than anything Oregon has done 161 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 2: results wise, So yeah, there's overlap there in terms of expectations. 162 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 2: I think what Oregon has done in winning, it's been 163 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 2: a more disappointing watch. But yeah, you go down to 164 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 2: NIU and you lose me a little bit. Here's the 165 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 2: good news, I think for Oregon and hopefully for Notre Dame. 166 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 2: As we start this in a very selfish way talking 167 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 2: about a team that I root for, a team that 168 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 2: you root for there is a lot of what ails 169 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 2: both of these teams that either given the schedule or 170 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 2: given the talent on hand, or both, is fixable. There's 171 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 2: a lot in terms of how sloppy Oregon looked on 172 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 2: offense and some offensive line health stuff, and now Notre 173 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 2: Dame is sort of an offensive line youth element to 174 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 2: it as well, and inexperience. But I could see a 175 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 2: universe in which Notre Dame figures out how to better 176 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 2: use Riley Leonard, how to avoid the issues along the 177 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 2: offensive line, how to more efficiently get the ball to playmakers, 178 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 2: and improve over the course of the season. Oregon just 179 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 2: sort of shot itself in the foot constantly on offense. 180 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 2: And so given that it's the same offensive coordinator, given 181 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 2: you know, a lot of the same skill talent, given 182 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 2: that some of those were freak incident, and it's a 183 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 2: new quarterback, like I don't know. I think both of 184 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 2: these teams and every team in college football, if there's 185 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 2: enough positive going for them on a side of the ball, 186 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 2: they'll just improve. Right now, those two teams are in 187 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 2: the spotlight because of how high profile they are. It's 188 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 2: still crazy early in the season. 189 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: It is still crazy early and I have many more 190 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: notre dame thoughts that I have been sitting on that 191 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: we will delay a little bit in this episode, okay, 192 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: and the interest of getting to some of the other 193 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: thoughts that we had, let's take a travel back in 194 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: time if we could, so you know how it is 195 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: right we do the midnight show on Saturday, we talk 196 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: about as much as we can from week two, and 197 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,559 Speaker 1: then there are these thoughts that just bubble and percolate, 198 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 1: and we need to get off our chest here before 199 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: we can effectively launch into week three coverage. Yeah, give 200 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: me a few of those thoughts from your standpoint, Dan, 201 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 1: things that you have been thinking over over the last 202 00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,080 Speaker 1: couple hours and days that you did not give at 203 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: least two on our last episode. It's very difficult for 204 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 1: me to see where the tiers are cut at the 205 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: top of the sport, the sort of second tier in 206 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,959 Speaker 1: each conference, power conference, non power conference whatever. Obviously it's 207 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: extremely cloudy right now, given were only two weeks into 208 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: the season. But how teams like Auburn and LSU and 209 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: Kentucky and South Carolina in a good way and bad 210 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: way whatever that You're just like, it's so crazy cloudy 211 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: because I think the you know what, if we start 212 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: in the SEC right that like Texas, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Ole, 213 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: miss have started out leaving very little questions, maybe the 214 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: first like two and a half quarters of the Alabama 215 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: USF game, notwithstanding when they made the offensive line change. 216 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: But of those teams that go the rest of the way, 217 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,319 Speaker 1: you're just like Mississippi State year one disappointment thus far 218 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: with how they performed against Arizona State, see with how 219 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: they were in week one. You know, we'll wait and 220 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: see on Texas, A and m Kentucky fell off a cliff. 221 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: South Carolina started off poorly. Vandy, we hope shows a 222 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: little bit more fight, but I think it's a long 223 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,439 Speaker 1: road forward, long road ahead for a team like Vandy. 224 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: Arkansas showed good fight right against Oklahoma State. I like Arkansas, 225 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,839 Speaker 1: I do. I like Arkansas. I think they're going to 226 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: be a thorn in the side of most SEC opponents. 227 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 1: It's a tough schedule, don't I don't know if I'm 228 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: going to revise my projections upward right on the Arkansas front, 229 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: but I thought they looked good on offense. Their mistake 230 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: prone at quarterback Taylor Green's got a ton of potential. 231 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: If they can kind of shore some of that stuff up, 232 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: they're going to be a tough out. 233 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 2: I have even less of an idea about the Big 234 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 2: Twelve with Kansas State struggles, and I I thought. 235 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: About the Big Twelve more than any other conference. Okay, 236 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,839 Speaker 1: since the conclusion of Week two, I am officially at 237 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 1: this point upgrading my position on West Virginia and Iowa 238 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 1: State because I think, given the nature of what's going 239 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: on elsewhere in the conference, both of those teams are 240 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 1: bona fide contenders. Originally, I had Iowa State in my 241 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: next tier down and I had West Virginia one tier 242 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: below them in that grouping of teams. You recall that 243 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: I called the spicy Chicken Sandwich. 244 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 2: Yes, but the. 245 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: Thursday and Friday games this week, oh, they're so good. 246 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 1: Are going to give us a good tell on where 247 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 1: case Date's at, where Arizona is at, even where Kansas 248 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,319 Speaker 1: is at. The Saturday night game between UCF and TCU 249 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: is another really interesting data patry that I think can 250 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: help us suss out maybe revised tiers when we do 251 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,719 Speaker 1: this show a week from now. I still think it's 252 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: the most interesting conference in America and I also think 253 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: that there is an element of guys like you and 254 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 1: I talking about the Big Twelve and preaching at the 255 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: altar of the parody in the Big Twelve and how 256 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: that makes it interesting, and we've done so at the 257 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: risk of as minimizing how good the teams are in 258 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: the conference, because college football fans here parody and they 259 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: think NFL and they think it's a water down product 260 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 1: and they think we don't want any of that. But 261 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,079 Speaker 1: truly in the Big Twelve, because there are new entrants, 262 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: because there are a lot of unknowns, and the teams 263 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: at the top are the teams that eventually end up 264 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: at the top, I still think are going to be 265 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: among the best in the country. They will go wire 266 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: to wire with some of these other schools that we 267 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: talk about from the Big Ten and the SEC and 268 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 1: maybe the ACC. I don't want to diminish what I 269 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: think the possibilities are for teams that come out of 270 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: the Big Twelve, just because so much of it feels 271 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 1: like a big mishmash at this point through two weeks 272 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: of the year. So I'm really high on West Virginia 273 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: and Iowa State after what I saw, I think I'm 274 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: eager to see what that looks like the rest of 275 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: the way for those two schools. 276 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 2: I don't know, man, if that is your like I've 277 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 2: upgraded these schools in terms of like contenders, I don't 278 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 2: know if your conference isn't a great place. If we're 279 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 2: talking about West Virginia and Iowa State, and right after 280 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 2: talking about what the top of the SEC looks like 281 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 2: like with the top of I mean, I don't even 282 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 2: know what the top of the Big Ten is right now. 283 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 2: I guess it's depending on Oregon. But like we'll see 284 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 2: on USC if depth holds up over the court. I 285 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 2: think in two weeks they have Michigan on the road. 286 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: Yep, I don't know. 287 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 2: Feels like if you can score thirty against Michigan, you're 288 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 2: gonna win that game. Maybe if you score thirteen against 289 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 2: Michigan you can win that game at Michigan. We'll see 290 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 2: how the depth holds up. And with a buy and 291 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 2: with Michigan time to prep, you know, the top of 292 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 2: the Big Ten right now kind of just seems like 293 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 2: Ohio State. But I don't know if they play anybody 294 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 2: until they play Oregon, right yeah, and so ah, man, 295 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 2: I don't know. And now Utah dealing with a cam 296 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 2: Rising injury who they say, it's not a big deal. 297 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 2: They're not worried. Arizona down at halftime to NAU like 298 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 2: kind of needed timely penalties to beat. I think the Lumberjacks, 299 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 2: I want to say Northern Arizona is the Lumberjacks. They 300 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 2: don't look as well coached. That's two games, but Arizona 301 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 2: certainly seems like a If it's working out for TMAC 302 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 2: and Noah Fafida, they're gonna be fun. If they're simply 303 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 2: ordinary or have a down week, there are not terribly 304 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 2: many other ways for them to win, and that's a problem. 305 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: It is a problem. And we'll talk about t MAC 306 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: in Arizona versus Case State a little bit later on 307 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: in this episode, because that's a Friday night game that 308 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: we want to previously. It's a great secondary for TEAMAC. 309 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: I'll say that it's a great secondary for Team AC. 310 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: They've given up a ton of big plays and I 311 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: think that game will be instructive as to how we 312 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: think of the Big twelve as a whole. But as 313 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: is I think the case, or as has been the 314 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: case for a while, these are pesky teams. These are 315 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: pesky teams that if a team like a case State 316 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: gets its act together and can figure out what it's 317 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: doing through the air, get it to the point or 318 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: at the point close to the point where they are 319 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: on the ground, that's an interesting conversation. If you put 320 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: a team like that in the playoff, we'll see. I 321 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: don't know, but I'm very interested in the Big Twelve. 322 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: I don't quite know how to feel about the ACC 323 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: beyond Miami and Clemson at this point. Okay, obviously the 324 00:15:55,040 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 1: Florida State conversation has shifted to a darker place given 325 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: an zero to two start and now a game with 326 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: Memphis on deck this weekend. I do think the talk 327 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: of Clemson's demise may have been exaggerated grossly so after 328 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: what we saw against Georgia, and you brought it up. 329 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: It's not a unique scenario to get throttled by Georgia. No, 330 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: it's not even a scarlet letter, right. A lot of 331 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: teams have been in that position. You don't want to 332 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: be in that position, mind you, especially if you're a 333 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: proud school like Clemson. But that doesn't make Clemson unique 334 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: and it doesn't mean it's the end of anything. Clemson 335 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: won sixty six to twenty over app State. I think 336 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: it's a good app State team. I have said since 337 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: the very beginning of our previous season, since the very 338 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: beginning of this season. Excuse me. App State's a good 339 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: football team. But Clemson destroyed them. Destroyed them seven hundred 340 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: and twelve total yards. They held Joey Agyard, who eighteen 341 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: of forty one passing. This is a good app State offense. 342 00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: They did nothing. They embarrassed app State in this game. 343 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 1: So you look at Clemson schedule, Suddenly they're on by 344 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 1: this week. But they've got a game against NC State 345 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: in week four. 346 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 2: Took some hits, this weekend took some hits. 347 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, They've got the Florida State game in Week six 348 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: and then for the most part, it's kind of a 349 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 1: glide path to the ACC title game. Sure got Louisville 350 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: at home a little bit later on in the year, 351 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 1: maybe that could be. Do they have Syracuse a bit 352 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 1: of a struggle you in Syracuse? I picked against Syracuse 353 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: and I feel terrible about it. Do they have the 354 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 1: f animal on the schedule? Yes? Or no? There is 355 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: no f animal on this schedule either. 356 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 2: Okay, there you go. So we'll find out who the 357 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 2: ACC's one true Orange team is. Got Miami, got Syracuse, 358 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 2: you got Clemson. 359 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 1: What I liked about what I saw from Clemson this 360 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: week is fourteen different receivers. Got Brian Westco, got TJ. 361 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 1: Moore involved, their two freshman wideouts, and those are the 362 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: guys I was talking of. Now I talked TJ. Moore 363 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:55,880 Speaker 1: up a little bit more, but Brian Westco was another 364 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 1: one who was certainly a name to watch coming into 365 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,360 Speaker 1: this season. If they can get those guys more involved, 366 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,880 Speaker 1: if this is the version of Kid Clubnick we see 367 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: going forward, even if it's not nearly as good as 368 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: what we saw against that State, that's a breakthrough for Clemson. 369 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,400 Speaker 1: That would be a big deal for this Clemson Tigers team, 370 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: and I think for sure, given the state of the 371 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 1: AEC otherwise, would put them right in the thick of 372 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: it to get certainly back to the AEC title game, 373 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 1: if not the playoff. 374 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 2: By the way it was Appstate, who I think I 375 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 2: were on the same page. Quality team, not a quality 376 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 2: secondary as far as I could tell. And the Caid 377 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 2: Club Nick experience was so overwhelmingly positive to me. Because 378 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 2: whoever they're playing, it doesn't matter He looked more confident 379 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 2: than normal. He looked he went into that game with 380 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,640 Speaker 2: like enough of this BS look on his face, went 381 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 2: downfield constantly. This wasn't throwing a bunch of screens and 382 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 2: having an etn brother run for eighty one yards. 383 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 1: Which, by the way, that was the problem last year. Right, 384 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: that was a problem last year. There was a lot 385 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: of pick a ball, a lot of stuff close to 386 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,640 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. But you're right, this was them 387 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: very much the intentional about trying to go down the field. 388 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 2: It was what Jake Brinningstool had a long one early 389 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 2: on a you know, a broken tackle at the sideline, 390 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 2: but I was downfield. So you know, whoever is responsible 391 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 2: for this game plan, whether it's Dabbo's voice, whether it's 392 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 2: Riley's voice, the offensive coordinator, whoever it is. Kate klub 393 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 2: Nick came out kind of with his hair on fire, 394 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 2: which is great to see. 395 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 1: I was a big fan of what Clemson did for short. 396 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 2: Long film off a run. 397 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, really good, really good? What else you got for me? 398 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 1: From week two? 399 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 2: US tackled USC and that's all they were winning these 400 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 2: types of games fifty six to twenty seven. Before fifty 401 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 2: six to twenty four. They shut a team out at 402 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 2: UTAs eighteen that's going to struggle this year. But we'll 403 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 2: see Miller Mauston go downfield a ton, but they didn't 404 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 2: need to. This was to me an interesting one because 405 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 2: of I think it's Quentin Joyner and Woody Marks at 406 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 2: running back that they were running well, the offensive line 407 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 2: was blocking well. It's Utah State. I don't have a 408 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 2: strong opinion, but USC behaved on both sides of the 409 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 2: ball like they should have behaved against a down on 410 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 2: their luck Mountain West team, which was nice to see. 411 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:09,479 Speaker 1: Speaking the Mountain West. Yea, I've got Colorado State as 412 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,239 Speaker 1: my bell weather of the week. I just made up 413 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: that bit. I hope you like. 414 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 2: I love it great by me. 415 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 1: So look, we will talk more about this game as 416 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 1: we go through our Week three preview episode a little 417 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: bit later on in the week. But Colorado State hosts Colorado. 418 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: The Rams are borderline Bowl team. I'd say projected to 419 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: lose if you factor in some of the advanced numbers, 420 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: by twenty one to Oregon State, by six, to Air Force, 421 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 1: by fourteen to Fresno. Now we're recording this on Monday afternoon. 422 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 1: Colorado's only favored by a touchdown. If the Buffaloes do 423 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: not win this one, I think there's a chance that 424 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: gets real ugly and boulder. And I hate to be 425 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: Debbie Downer about this whole thing, because it's been a 426 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: ride with on and it's been fun to chart and 427 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 1: fun to follow. At some points it's gotten a little 428 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: long in the tooth. I think we're guilty of that. 429 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: But as it stands right now, beyond this Colorado State game, 430 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: our friend Bill Connolly from ESPN, who does the s PPLUS, 431 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: does a great job with all that he does and 432 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: has done for many years now. He's got Colorado projected 433 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 1: to lose its next nine games, and most of those 434 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 1: damn by double digits. 435 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 2: Colorado State's supposed to be all that good this year. 436 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 1: No, And that's kind of the point. That's kind of 437 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: the point, all right, Borderline Bowl team. You would think, 438 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 1: based on some of those other numbers that I threw out, 439 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 1: that Colorado would be a bigger favorite, yeah, going into 440 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: this game. But they're not. And I think that says something. 441 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: If you've watched Colorado at all through two weeks, they 442 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: absolutely cannot run the football. They're kind of not even trying. 443 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 1: They cannot stop the pass. That's not anything new from 444 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: last year. They just can't. They cannot do it. They 445 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 1: are near the bottom. If you look at our spreadsheets, 446 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 1: it's deep red on both sides of that not good. 447 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: And then in terms of culture, you just you continually 448 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,479 Speaker 1: have these weird cultural things that pop up vibes are 449 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: not great. The latest one now was this report out 450 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 1: of Denver. I think it was a Denver radio station. 451 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: My apologies for not giving proper attribution, but there's this 452 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 1: report that Dion's not letting the band play the Colorado 453 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: fight song after a touchdown because instead they need to 454 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: play Shador's rap song. Sure, little things like this, little 455 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 1: things like this that build up. If suddenly the worm 456 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 1: turns and the optimism is not there the way it 457 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: was a year ago, this is how things turn acrimonious 458 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 1: in a hurry. And if in fact Colorado has the 459 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: remainder of a season the way that Bill's projecting, I 460 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: just don't know which way this thing goes. I think 461 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: all kinds of weirdness are on the table, and I'm 462 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: not rooting for it, but I'm this is a close 463 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 1: game a year ago, Dan, this is a quilt is 464 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: an overtime game a year ago. I'm just saying, bell 465 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: Weather of the week is this Colorado Colorado State game? 466 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: A lot could change from this point forward. 467 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I also wonder that, like we're overreacting 468 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 2: in week two and it just to me we do 469 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 2: this a lot where the vibes seem bad for a 470 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,679 Speaker 2: lot of different teams a couple weeks into the season, 471 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 2: and I include everybody, include the worst vibes all the 472 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 2: way to the best vibes. Right, I don't know who 473 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 2: has the worst like Power Conference vibes right now. If 474 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 2: it's Florida State, you know, perhaps, But there's time. There 475 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 2: are bye weeks, there are adjustments that are scheme shifts, 476 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,239 Speaker 2: there are pow wows, there are players only meetings, there 477 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,120 Speaker 2: are fired coordinators. Right. A lot happens over the course 478 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 2: of these like three or four short months. And so 479 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 2: you're right to say that, you know, Colorado State isn't 480 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 2: some huge threat to a lot of teams, and that 481 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 2: might be a but you got bell Weather for the 482 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 2: Buffalo's but thank you. But there's time. There's absolutely time. 483 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,439 Speaker 2: And we've seen, you know, teams that start out poorly 484 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 2: improve over the course of the back half of the 485 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 2: schedule or when you know they have an opportunity to 486 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 2: build some confidence. And we've also seen teams just absolutely 487 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 2: spiral when things go wrong. 488 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: And that's what I'm afraid of. That's totally afraid of, 489 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: because if you watch that Nebraska game, it felt like 490 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: they quit in the second quarter. 491 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 2: Defense played well in the second half, well enough got 492 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,199 Speaker 2: stops and Dion right, Dion mentioned that at halftime he 493 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 2: actually thought that defense played fairly well. 494 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: Nebraska didn't score in the second half, No, so maybe 495 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 1: there is some merit to that. It just feels to 496 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,879 Speaker 1: me like much of what you're describing, if there's going 497 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 1: to be any kind of turnaround story that needs to 498 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: come from within, it's not a scheme thing. Might not 499 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 1: even be a talent thing at this point, right, It's 500 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: a leadership thing and it's a culture thing. And I'm 501 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: not sure either of those are in place of Colorado 502 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: right now? 503 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 2: Do you think it's a This isn't just specific to Colorado. 504 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,360 Speaker 2: This can be specific to any disappointing team, right There 505 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 2: are a lot of teams out there who have looked 506 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 2: to the portal for a quartererback, who have looked to 507 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 2: the portal to plug in obvious glaring weaknesses on a roster, 508 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 2: on a too deep whatever, that the best teams are 509 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 2: still going to struggle at the onset, or good teams 510 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:12,880 Speaker 2: are going to struggle at the onset as they get 511 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 2: everybody in, as they deal with figuring out, you know, 512 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 2: who who is this, who's not this? Because they haven't 513 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 2: had them in camp for three years, right, they don't 514 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 2: have a sense for them. And so whether it's Florida 515 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 2: State hitting on a bunch of transfers but perhaps not 516 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 2: hitting on some transfers, or Oregon or Notre Dame or whoever, 517 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:35,360 Speaker 2: right that we have teams where coaches just aren't familiar 518 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 2: with their rosters like they used to be, so they're 519 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 2: making decisions with not as much data, with not as 520 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 2: much time seeing cleats on grass. And so I wonder 521 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 2: if you know, Notre Dame is going to look completely different, 522 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 2: or Florida State will look completely different, and maybe it's 523 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,639 Speaker 2: a quarterback change, right, Or Florida will look completely different 524 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 2: with DJ Lagway, or Oregon will look different with Dylan 525 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 2: Gabriel come mid October, or any of these teams that 526 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,679 Speaker 2: you know, we're seeing a lot of teams that have 527 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 2: had quarterbacks and systems for a while. This isn't a 528 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 2: new thing within college football, but it's new when we 529 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 2: have this much movement. That, yeah, of course Old miss 530 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 2: is going to look strong early because Jackson Dart's been 531 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 2: there forever now, right that like he's had the experience there, 532 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 2: and that there are just going to be certain teams 533 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 2: that aren't aren't the full butterfly are still in like 534 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:28,680 Speaker 2: the chrysalis heading into September October, and coaches are just 535 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 2: trying to figure out what they do and don't have 536 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 2: on the fly. And so Colorado certainly fits that, as 537 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 2: they've tried to improve the offensive line for two years 538 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 2: now to very little avail, and that's a very difficult 539 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 2: position group to fix via the portal, as we've seen 540 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 2: over the years. But I don't know. I just think 541 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 2: that like we're seeing some early results that might not 542 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 2: be indicative of where teams are later on. That's I 543 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 2: think exacerbated by the chaotic nature of rosters. I don't know. 544 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: I want to go around on college football real quick. 545 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 1: I'm going to throw out a handful of teams and 546 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 1: I want you to give me a vibe check, please, 547 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: I want you to give me a vibe check. We're 548 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 1: also going to preview some of these later week games, 549 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,120 Speaker 1: these weekday games on Thursday and Friday, will do that shortly. 550 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 1: I also do have some more notre dame thoughts to 551 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: get off my chest, as well as kind of a 552 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: bigger look ahead at what is to come here in 553 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 1: week three. Okay, well, let me start here with some 554 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 1: of these teams that we have not discussed I think 555 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: nearly as much as we would have liked. Please let's 556 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: start in the big twelve. Let's talk about TCU. Oh, 557 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: I thought you were going to say Texas Tech because 558 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: vibes are down. Vibes are down at Texas Tech. But yeah, okay, 559 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: not to put you on the spot, but TCU beat 560 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:46,160 Speaker 1: Stanford by seven in week one, throttled the school known 561 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,120 Speaker 1: as Long Island forty five to nil in week two. 562 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 1: This week a really big game coming up there at 563 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,680 Speaker 1: home night game on Fox against UCF. How are vibes 564 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: at TCU. 565 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 2: I mean, the Stanford win is nice, it's on the road. 566 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 2: The defense stepped up at times, especially against the pass, 567 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 2: and Stanford through it well. Last week. I still think TBD, 568 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,879 Speaker 2: we need to see it against an opponent with I 569 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 2: think a more complete heartbeat than Stanford, all due respect 570 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 2: to the cardinal but TBD not bad, right, and that's fine, 571 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 2: that's a win. How are the vibes that UCLA down 572 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:22,439 Speaker 2: down at the moment? 573 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: Do we know any vibes because this week, by the way, 574 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 1: Indiana game against Indiana America's team. 575 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 2: On NBC Primetime. I believe, yes, sir, is that in 576 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 2: Bloomington or in Pasadena? 577 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: I believe this game's in Pasadena. 578 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 2: UCLA vibes are probably pretty low right now because of 579 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 2: the game against Hawaii coupled with high vibes across town 580 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 2: at USC. 581 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 1: Thirteen points against Hawaii in the Islands, was. 582 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 2: It thirteen sixteen? 583 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 1: Won six sixteen to thirteen on the Islands in their 584 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: first game. Indiana vibes got to be strong. 585 00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 2: Definitely, but who is what FIU and Western Illinois. 586 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: Still seventy seven points against Western Illinois, Dan, I agree, 587 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: you'll take those seventy seven points. Of course, Elsewhere in 588 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: the Big Ten, like Rutgers vibes are really strong right now. Definitely, 589 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: they look terrific. Minnesota vibes are probably way better than 590 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: they were a week ago. After that UNC game, especially 591 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: because they actually generated some downfield passing last week Minnesota 592 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 1: Colon built for the FCS. Stop it, well, stop it. 593 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,959 Speaker 2: I mean they turned to the FCS for help so 594 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 2: they can beat FCS teams. 595 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 1: What about what about Wisconsin? 596 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 2: Oh, I think vibes are sluggish and down right now. 597 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 1: How do you think vibes are right now? If you 598 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 1: are an Auburn fan. 599 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 2: Auburn's interesting because I think the off field vibes via 600 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 2: recruiting are pretty high, that there's hope for whatever, Like 601 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 2: Hugh Freeze at Auburn two point zero is but I 602 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 2: think they I think Auburn people figured they'd be farther 603 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 2: further into two point zero to start out the year, 604 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 2: and losing to calum that very specific way, given the turnovers, 605 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 2: given it was at home, given Cal's own recent struggles 606 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 2: with you know, losing coordinators and players, and like, I 607 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 2: think vibes are down right now at Auburn, but a 608 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 2: little bit higher via recruiting. 609 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: I really want to hear from Oklahoma fans to get 610 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 1: a vibe check Oh, okay on that program because forty 611 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: eight point win first game of the year against Temple, 612 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 1: a thin win that required defense against Houston. It's not 613 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: a good Houston team. This week Tulane comes into town. 614 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: That's followed by Tennessee, by a road game at Auburn, 615 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: then Texas, than South Carolina, then Old Miss. There's still 616 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 1: Miszoo and Alabama and LSU still on the schedule. We 617 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 1: always knew the schedule was going to be murder. It 618 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: was really a question of, all right, how does this 619 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: offense look now with Jackson or Arnold running the show? 620 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 1: How does a defense look? 621 00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 2: So far? 622 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 1: The defense has I think acquitted itself pretty well, but 623 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: it is only going to get harder from this point forward. 624 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: The two teams that they played and one against are 625 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: among the worst that are on this entire schedule. Tulane 626 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: will be a test this week. Tennessee will be a 627 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: test the week after that. Yeah, I would say, so 628 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 1: you have to go until the first week, truly, the 629 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 1: first week of November, before you get to another gimme 630 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: in the main Black Bears. So I would like to 631 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: hear from Oklahoma people. You can text us at eight 632 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: five to five verbal three. Maybe we'll have our fembot 633 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: Nancy read some of those when we preview this game 634 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 1: on the Thursday episode, I'd love to get your text 635 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: messages and thoughts on that, but I have to imagine 636 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: that vibes are okay at the moment. You'd always rather 637 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 1: be two and oh than zero and two than one 638 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 1: and one. But looking at the state of this offense, 639 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 1: given what they've got coming up, I would say, very 640 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 1: very very leery about what's to come. 641 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 2: I'll speak for myselfie are rooting for a team that 642 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 2: has recently been incredible on offense and now watching a 643 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 2: team really struggling with little things on offense, given turnovers, inconsistencies, 644 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 2: play calling, whatever. Oklahoma fans are used to, if nothing else, 645 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 2: a number of crazy, productive, explosive offenses in the last 646 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 2: decade or so, and then faced with what they've had, 647 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 2: I mean what they had last week specifically, but you know, 648 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 2: last year, last couple of years at times where you're 649 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 2: just like, I think there's a little bit of discomfort, 650 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 2: a little bit of shifting in seats among Oklahoma fans. 651 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 2: That's it looks like a TV show that has been 652 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 2: recast and redirected whatever a little bit too often, or 653 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 2: brought in a new director, a new writing stat Like, 654 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 2: it's just like, this isn't I don't know there's something 655 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 2: off with this show. 656 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 1: How about an Alabama. 657 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 2: I think we're still in a grace period for Klein 658 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 2: de Boorr And I don't know if you saw some 659 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,719 Speaker 2: of those crowd shots, like the gifts of people swearing, 660 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 2: including I think it was Nick Sheridan, Excuse me if 661 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 2: I'm not correct in the booth. Yeah, but like channeling 662 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 2: a little bit of Tommy Reese in there. 663 00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 1: Do your fin job. 664 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 2: Yeah that vibes in the second third quarters were real down. 665 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 2: But I guess once they made the right tackle change 666 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,719 Speaker 2: or whatever, when vibes got better. There are certain elements 667 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,600 Speaker 2: of the Alabama I mean, like Ryan Williams stepping in 668 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 2: as a freshman right. 669 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 1: Looks ridiculous right through the roof. 670 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 2: Right. It's it's a really great year for freshmen receiving 671 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 2: vibes between Clemson and Ohio State and Alabama whoever else Texas. 672 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 2: Perhaps as the season progresses and more guys get worked in, 673 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 2: I think vibes are I think shoulders are a little 674 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 2: bit more relaxed than they might have been at halftime. 675 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 1: I think that's fair to say. Yeah, vibes at Notre Dame. 676 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 1: I'll answer this question. 677 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 2: Torch torches, pitchforks, all that kind of stuff. 678 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,479 Speaker 1: Right, It's been a while since Sundred Dame had these 679 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: kind of vibes. It's been a while, and we are 680 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,719 Speaker 1: we are getting to the point now where it's like 681 00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 1: the natives are growing restless. It is yet another situation 682 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 1: where Notre Dame played down to an opponent, and I 683 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,760 Speaker 1: cannot tell you how immensely frustrating that is, especially given 684 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 1: all the talent that they've brought in over the last 685 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 1: couple of years now under Marcus Freeman. This was supposed 686 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,879 Speaker 1: to be the year. You go out, you get Mike 687 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 1: Denbrock paying them all this money. You go out, you 688 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,879 Speaker 1: get Riley Leonard, try to beef up the defensive line. 689 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,319 Speaker 1: R j Oben, big name comes in from Duke. There 690 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 1: have been others. I mean, there's been this lingering question 691 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 1: about the line, but it's not a question you expect 692 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 1: to blow up in your face against a team like 693 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 1: Northern Illinois. And so I find that the conversation online 694 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,920 Speaker 1: is going a thousand different directions. If there was optimism 695 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 1: or cautious optimism before, now there's any number, any garden 696 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,920 Speaker 1: variety of skeptical Notre Dame opinions out there, and I 697 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 1: understand all of them. I have been reading as much 698 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 1: opinion about what went wrong as I can find. All 699 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:57,800 Speaker 1: you need to do is watch the game to realize 700 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 1: they got roasted on both lines, especially the offensive line. 701 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 1: It was just Riley Leonard had no protection on his 702 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,800 Speaker 1: backside at all. Every play, somebody was rushing, someone was 703 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 1: getting in there. But the best thing that I read 704 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 1: was from Brian driscoll Over at Irish Breakdown does a 705 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 1: good job writing about Notre Dame, always has, and he 706 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 1: talked a lot about how it felt like this Notre 707 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 1: Dame coaching staff is putting Riley Leonard in a box 708 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 1: that it doesn't belong in. Right. They're trying to turn him, 709 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,279 Speaker 1: or at least it looked like they tried to turn 710 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:30,319 Speaker 1: him into more of a game manager than the improviser 711 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 1: that he is that's really where he excels. And his 712 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 1: opinion was, and I don't disagree with this, that they 713 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 1: kind of took that element away from his game in 714 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,880 Speaker 1: hopes of turning him into something else, and that it 715 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 1: didn't work. It's all a little bit of that in 716 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 1: the A and M game, for sure. It was on 717 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 1: display against Northern Illinois. There is so much blame to 718 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 1: go around. Dan, we could talk about this till we're 719 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 1: blue in the face. I won't. We have reached the 720 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,280 Speaker 1: point now where it's kind of like a circular firing squad. 721 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,320 Speaker 1: And whether you're blaming Riley Leonard or blaming the offensive 722 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,920 Speaker 1: coaching staff, or blame me Marcus Freeman, there are no 723 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 1: shortage of options for you. If you're a Notre Dame 724 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 1: fan or even somebody watching from afar. What I would 725 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 1: say is this, we do not know how this twelve 726 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 1: team era is going to play out. I Am not 727 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,239 Speaker 1: going to sit here and make the case for Notre 728 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,760 Speaker 1: Dame as a playoff team. They just lost to NIU. 729 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:22,720 Speaker 1: I said on the recap show. You lose to NIU, 730 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 1: that's a disqualifier in my book. Okay, but it's a 731 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 1: long season. There will be losses in front of Notre Dame. 732 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,720 Speaker 1: Some of these teams that are on Notre Dame schedule 733 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 1: will be bold. Teams will be ranked by the time 734 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 1: they play Notre Dame. Louisville's probably a really good example 735 00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 1: of that. Yeah, and they only drop to eighteenth. It's 736 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 1: only week two. We're going to have a very interesting 737 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,440 Speaker 1: conversation later in the year if Notre Dame, provided Notre 738 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:54,719 Speaker 1: Dame continues to perform at or near the level that 739 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,480 Speaker 1: we thought, yeah, we will have a conversation later in 740 00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 1: this year about whether Notre Dame belongs to that twelve 741 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,719 Speaker 1: team field. And again it's not me arguing for it, 742 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:04,839 Speaker 1: it's just me being honest. It is going to happen. 743 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 1: I hope people are ready for it. 744 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 2: You're getting a Marcus Freeman Notre Dame team, and so yeah, 745 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,360 Speaker 2: they'll probably perform decently well in some bigger games. 746 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:16,440 Speaker 1: I don't know. 747 00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 2: I think what plagues Notre Dame is that, you know, 748 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:24,440 Speaker 2: we're now talking about a new offensive coordinator, excuse me, 749 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,759 Speaker 2: making a ton of money, bringing like hands, selecting the 750 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,719 Speaker 2: quarterback of the future from a school at which Riley 751 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,760 Speaker 2: Leonard was already pretty successful. When healthy Marcus Freeman recruits, 752 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,000 Speaker 2: you know, it's his vision for the offense along with 753 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:41,839 Speaker 2: now offensive coordinators plural, and he can't get teams up 754 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 2: for little games I know, plural. Now go back to 755 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:49,719 Speaker 2: Marshall cal Stanford this year. Obviously with NIU, You're just like, 756 00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,759 Speaker 2: I don't know, like I just kind of think we 757 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 2: are seeing note Marcus Freeman's Notre Dame at this point. 758 00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,960 Speaker 2: It's his roster, is his choice is for you know, 759 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 2: the big portal edition. Yeah, he can't seem to motivate 760 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 2: them enough or figure out how to build an offensive 761 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 2: game plan with his coordinator to score. How many do 762 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:10,839 Speaker 2: they scored fourteen points against an. 763 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:12,840 Speaker 1: IU scored fourteen points? You like? 764 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 2: It just seems like, Hey, if Notre Dame has a 765 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,479 Speaker 2: running back that they can count on to make big 766 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,160 Speaker 2: plays all of the time, we win a bunch of games. 767 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:23,000 Speaker 2: But if Jeremiah Love is an object estimate, then they won't. 768 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,400 Speaker 1: This is when you see the knives come out, and 769 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 1: I've seen it come out. Mike oldest man crotchiest take 770 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 1: is that, and it's not the reason they lost. But 771 00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,680 Speaker 1: I've been I've been seeing a lot in the build 772 00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,799 Speaker 1: up to this season about how all these teams got 773 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,919 Speaker 1: to come to Notre Dame Stadium and play right? Only 774 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 1: two true road games, and Notre Dame Stadium is such 775 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,680 Speaker 1: a tough place to play. Isn't it about time that 776 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 1: we reheat an old take of mine that I think 777 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:52,719 Speaker 1: I talked about back in twenty ten. I don't think 778 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 1: Notre Dame Stadium is that tough of a place to play. 779 00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:56,759 Speaker 1: It's not a hornet's nest. It's not the hornet's nest 780 00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,880 Speaker 1: that Notre Dame fans believe it to be. It's a 781 00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 1: cathedral for college foot it's a landmark. You should visit 782 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:06,440 Speaker 1: it once. Sure, But if Marshall, if NI you can 783 00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,400 Speaker 1: go into Notre Dame Stadium and win, there's a pretty 784 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,759 Speaker 1: good chance. It's just not that imposing. I went to 785 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:15,200 Speaker 1: Penn State for four years by comparison, Notre Dame Stadium's 786 00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:18,360 Speaker 1: amateur hour, and it's just about time that we start 787 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 1: treating it for what it is. These teams are coming 788 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,719 Speaker 1: in and winning these games. It's not as hostile an 789 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 1: environment as I think Notre Dame fans would like you 790 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,880 Speaker 1: to believe. It just isn't sure. That's my take for 791 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:29,600 Speaker 1: whatever it's worth. 792 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 2: By the way, sidebar, whoever is mixing the audio during 793 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,120 Speaker 2: these Notre Dame games and pumping up those chimes and 794 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,879 Speaker 2: xylophone sounds, let's bring them down back into the mix 795 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:39,319 Speaker 2: just a lot. 796 00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,560 Speaker 1: Don't get me started on the NBC broadcast. That's its 797 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:46,040 Speaker 1: own podcast altogether. I could do a podcast a week 798 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,719 Speaker 1: talking about the way they cover this team, the way 799 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 1: NBC covers college football as a whole. 800 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 2: Okay, the Peacock broadcast the Oregon Boise Stay game was 801 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:54,280 Speaker 2: not good. 802 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,839 Speaker 1: No disrespect good friends of ours who work for that network. Yeah, 803 00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,440 Speaker 1: of course I have no beef with them, but I 804 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,160 Speaker 1: have thoughts on how NBC has treated college football. 805 00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 2: I'm just saying I heard the Mortal Kombat theme via 806 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:12,719 Speaker 2: xylophone times at like minus three DB's on the mixed time. 807 00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 1: It was up there. All right, let's pick some games here, 808 00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:22,160 Speaker 1: more Zylon and time to help the weak. We got 809 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:26,760 Speaker 1: three interesting games on Thursday and Friday featuring Big twelve teams. Yes, 810 00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:28,879 Speaker 1: and I wanted to make sure that we covered them 811 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,360 Speaker 1: on this episode because the time, by the time Thursday 812 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:32,920 Speaker 1: rolls around, we don't want to bury him at the 813 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,240 Speaker 1: end and then it's already stale by the time he listens. 814 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,920 Speaker 1: So let's just do it now. The Thursday game that 815 00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:41,440 Speaker 1: I have particular interest in is at seven thirty Eastern 816 00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:45,760 Speaker 1: on ESPN's between Arizona State and Texas State. My guys, 817 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 1: the bombcats of Texas State's true Arizona State favored by 818 00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,960 Speaker 1: one and a half points here, so this should be 819 00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:54,000 Speaker 1: a pretty good football game. 820 00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,880 Speaker 2: Dan Cam Scattabou Star, this should be a pretty good 821 00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:58,640 Speaker 2: football game. 822 00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,280 Speaker 1: We had Cam's Yataboo who was two sixty three something 823 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,640 Speaker 1: like that a week ago on the ground for Arizona State, 824 00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,160 Speaker 1: and then we have Texas State, who made quick work 825 00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:12,359 Speaker 1: of UTSA. Now they're hosting ASU, and I think it's 826 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,759 Speaker 1: a decent matchup for them. There's a really big contrast 827 00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:17,600 Speaker 1: in this game, though, that I want people to know about, 828 00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:22,680 Speaker 1: and that is the tempo of Texas State versus the 829 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 1: tempo of Arizona State. Texas State plays really quick, Arizona 830 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,640 Speaker 1: State plays really slow deliberately. 831 00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:31,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, they know they're not deep. Yeah. 832 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,839 Speaker 1: And so in theory, if you're ASU, if you can 833 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:36,759 Speaker 1: have that same level of success on the ground as 834 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,799 Speaker 1: it dad a week ago, keep Texas State off the field. 835 00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 1: It's a good offense for Texas State. Good offense, you 836 00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:44,759 Speaker 1: keep them off the field, you put yourself in a 837 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:46,799 Speaker 1: position to win. I would not bet this one if 838 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,759 Speaker 1: my life depended on it because I am biased here. 839 00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 1: I love Texas State. I think Texas State is due 840 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,640 Speaker 1: for a big season. I still think if I were 841 00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:59,120 Speaker 1: picking straight up, I would go ASU because of that 842 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,919 Speaker 1: tempo shift. Okay, I think that favors them in this game, 843 00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:04,799 Speaker 1: despite the fact that it's on the road, despite the 844 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,920 Speaker 1: fact they got plenty of their own questions. But that 845 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 1: would probably be my pick. 846 00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:12,479 Speaker 2: I think so too. I think Sam Levitt's been pretty good. 847 00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,239 Speaker 2: We'll see long term once the schedule gets harder. I 848 00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:17,240 Speaker 2: just I don't know if I'm terrified of the Texas 849 00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,600 Speaker 2: State defense quite yet, especially if they're going to play 850 00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,440 Speaker 2: quickly and as who is going to be able to 851 00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,440 Speaker 2: get off the field. So I'm going asu but not 852 00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:24,960 Speaker 2: crazy confidently. 853 00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,839 Speaker 1: On Friday Night, another interesting game featuring a big twelve team, 854 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,080 Speaker 1: and this is UNLV at Kansas. Kansas favored by a touchdown. 855 00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,320 Speaker 1: So Kansas loss on the road last week to Illinois 856 00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:37,719 Speaker 1: was a bad game for Jalen Daniels. He had three 857 00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:42,040 Speaker 1: picks on the whole Kansas had four turnovers if you 858 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 1: add in the fumble. This Kansas season is going to 859 00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:50,920 Speaker 1: be very interesting moving forward because right now they're favored 860 00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,320 Speaker 1: to win every game with the exception of West Virginia 861 00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:56,200 Speaker 1: in k State. But I counted five games that are 862 00:42:56,239 --> 00:43:00,040 Speaker 1: projected as one score affairs, So my sense here is 863 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,080 Speaker 1: that Kansas is gonna win this one by like ten points. 864 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,000 Speaker 1: They'll get back on track. They go on the road 865 00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:07,200 Speaker 1: next week against West Virginia, which you know, I'm high 866 00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,400 Speaker 1: West Virginia. I think that looks like a loss personally, 867 00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,440 Speaker 1: But we can talk about that one in due course. 868 00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,880 Speaker 1: But this is this is important for Kansas. This is 869 00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,600 Speaker 1: an important Kansas game right now that they need to 870 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,239 Speaker 1: dominate in and get back on the right track because 871 00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:22,080 Speaker 1: last week was not good and UNLV is not a 872 00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:23,759 Speaker 1: bad team. They're off to a two to zero start 873 00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:24,120 Speaker 1: as well. 874 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:26,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, took it to Utah Tech. 875 00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,440 Speaker 1: You taught Tech maybe, or Slukamaniacs out here. 876 00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, far be it for me to pick 877 00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:36,360 Speaker 2: against Luka Doncic. But I think I'm gonna go. I 878 00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:38,600 Speaker 2: think I'm gonna go Kansas. I think Kansas might be 879 00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,960 Speaker 2: a team that things aren't as bad as they appear 880 00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,040 Speaker 2: to be. Things aren't as good as they appear to be, 881 00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,239 Speaker 2: and I still think they're going to have enough firepower 882 00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:50,160 Speaker 2: on offense at home. Short week for UNLV, I mean 883 00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,200 Speaker 2: short week for both these teams obviously, but I'd rather 884 00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,319 Speaker 2: be the team at home in a short week that 885 00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:59,480 Speaker 2: still has a lot left in the tank, so I 886 00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,400 Speaker 2: don't think they are going to be as bad for 887 00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:03,759 Speaker 2: Kansas as they were last week for Jalen Daniels through 888 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:07,719 Speaker 2: the air. So I still I'm banking on some upside. 889 00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:10,440 Speaker 1: There and then the big one actually eight pm on Fox. 890 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,160 Speaker 1: This is one of very few ranked games this week, 891 00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:17,920 Speaker 1: number twenty, Arizona on the road at number fourteen k 892 00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:21,680 Speaker 1: State KSE date favored by seven and a half. How 893 00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:22,839 Speaker 1: do we feel about this game? Dan? 894 00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,160 Speaker 2: I don't feel great about either one of these teams. 895 00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:29,000 Speaker 2: Neither do I with what Kansas State needed, with what 896 00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,400 Speaker 2: Kansas State lacks in the back end on defense, with 897 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:36,080 Speaker 2: where Arizona hypothetically is can be should be quite strong, 898 00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:40,120 Speaker 2: which is testing teams downfield. But man, it's a different 899 00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:43,319 Speaker 2: This is not Jedfish Arizona as we saw last week. No, 900 00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,680 Speaker 2: I'm willing to extend grace for everybody for both Kansas 901 00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:49,320 Speaker 2: State and their growth potential for Arizona and their growth potential. 902 00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:54,359 Speaker 2: So I think I'm going to go with Arizona here 903 00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,719 Speaker 2: in a toss up situation. I'd rather have Noah Fafida 904 00:44:57,760 --> 00:44:59,960 Speaker 2: with the game on the line right now than Avery Johnson. 905 00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:02,360 Speaker 2: I still think there are guys on both sides of 906 00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,000 Speaker 2: the ball for Arizona, just like I think there are 907 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:07,840 Speaker 2: for Kansas State right now. With Kansas State struggles both 908 00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:11,480 Speaker 2: weeks to get something going on offense and dealing with 909 00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:14,040 Speaker 2: stuff in the back end, I think I'm going Arizona 910 00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,080 Speaker 2: buy a hair, even on the road, even in Manhattan, 911 00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:18,560 Speaker 2: even difficult place to play. I think I have Arizona hair. 912 00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:21,920 Speaker 1: That would be something. Yeah. I talked about Avery Johnson 913 00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:25,080 Speaker 1: after Week one for k State could have lost last 914 00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:28,920 Speaker 1: week against Tulane. I do think to your point from earlier, 915 00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:32,200 Speaker 1: Arizona has a nice day through the air. Yeah, Because 916 00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,680 Speaker 1: this is a k State secondary that you can look 917 00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,480 Speaker 1: at the numbers, It's been incredibly leaky thus far. They're 918 00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:41,600 Speaker 1: like bottom of Power four in terms of explosive passing 919 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:44,480 Speaker 1: plays allowed. That to me could be the X factor 920 00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,719 Speaker 1: in this game. And You've got a team in Arizona 921 00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,319 Speaker 1: with no Fafita and Temac that know how to work 922 00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:53,000 Speaker 1: the ball down the field that hasn't gone away. Even 923 00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,480 Speaker 1: though it's a new coach, They're still doing that and 924 00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,279 Speaker 1: I think that could be a real issue for k State. 925 00:45:57,640 --> 00:45:59,799 Speaker 1: There are two under the radar stats though that I 926 00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:02,279 Speaker 1: want to call out and I think these are the 927 00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,480 Speaker 1: big time red flags for me and why I'm going 928 00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:09,439 Speaker 1: to go K State. The first is Arizona through two weeks. 929 00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:14,440 Speaker 1: It's early, but near the bottom of college football and 930 00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,400 Speaker 1: penalty yardage. That may not be a big deal against 931 00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:20,440 Speaker 1: Northern Arizona, but against a team like a K State 932 00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:24,640 Speaker 1: that's always really well coached and usually pretty disciplined, that 933 00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:26,279 Speaker 1: will come back to bite you. Against a team like 934 00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,600 Speaker 1: a K State agreat it always does. That is part 935 00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:32,560 Speaker 1: of K State's game plan. Yeah, forced you to make 936 00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:35,040 Speaker 1: mistakes and then take advantage of it. I don't like that. 937 00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:37,640 Speaker 1: The other thing I don't like is this is a 938 00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:41,920 Speaker 1: deep cut. Mind you. Arizona is near the bottom in 939 00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:47,919 Speaker 1: yards allowed before contact Tuanna Kina defense not coming through 940 00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:52,480 Speaker 1: before contact. That's a problem against a K State team 941 00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:56,000 Speaker 1: that has been super explosive on the ground, true, that 942 00:46:56,160 --> 00:47:00,799 Speaker 1: has been their calling cards so far. So putting a 943 00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:04,600 Speaker 1: offense like Case State against a defense like Arizona that 944 00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:07,960 Speaker 1: is just letting you basically get up the full speed 945 00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,440 Speaker 1: is a problem. That's why I like K State here. 946 00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,319 Speaker 1: I think that is the difference. I got this as 947 00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:17,360 Speaker 1: something like thirty eight twenty four favorite Case State. I 948 00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,840 Speaker 1: think this is a really good opportunity for Chris Climbing 949 00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:24,239 Speaker 1: to exert some level of dominance here and win this 950 00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:24,879 Speaker 1: one going away. 951 00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:27,560 Speaker 2: So I've gotten by fourteen, Okay, I would love to 952 00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:30,160 Speaker 2: see it just from a like learn more about a 953 00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:33,200 Speaker 2: specific team. If you know Case State can score like 954 00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,759 Speaker 2: that against Arizona, that answers a couple of questions. If 955 00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,080 Speaker 2: Avery Johnson can take a step forward along, you know 956 00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:40,200 Speaker 2: with if DJ Giddens is going off and we should 957 00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:44,360 Speaker 2: have a nice performance from Avery Johnson play action threat. Yeah, 958 00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:46,520 Speaker 2: I don't know. I think I'm willing to write off 959 00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:48,359 Speaker 2: a little bit of last week to like a let 960 00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:50,759 Speaker 2: down look ahead situation. Not that who to Arizona play 961 00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,120 Speaker 2: Week one New Mexico. Do you want to say, you 962 00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:56,080 Speaker 2: know all the TMAC hype and you know Arizona sort 963 00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,560 Speaker 2: of waltzing into the next week knowing it's Northern Arizona 964 00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:01,640 Speaker 2: not necessarily Case State, and maybe they're looking ahead a 965 00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:03,840 Speaker 2: little bit like I think it could be an early 966 00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,240 Speaker 2: season version of that. But I don't love those stats 967 00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:08,760 Speaker 2: that you know, Duyna Kina, who hasn't coordinated a defense. 968 00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:10,600 Speaker 2: I don't know if I know he was an offensive 969 00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:13,399 Speaker 2: coordinator a long time ago for Arizona, but I don't 970 00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:16,040 Speaker 2: think he was in high demand to call somebody else's 971 00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:18,920 Speaker 2: defense this year. So that worries me a little bit 972 00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:22,960 Speaker 2: about Arizona and taking a step back on defense and 973 00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:26,240 Speaker 2: in running the ball and in just a general offensive 974 00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:29,359 Speaker 2: vision under Brent Brennan. Like I just I think they 975 00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,200 Speaker 2: I mean, I think they downgraded a little bit at coach. 976 00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:35,759 Speaker 2: So you know, hopefully I'm wrong and they take a 977 00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:38,200 Speaker 2: big step up this week. But that's what it looked 978 00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:40,439 Speaker 2: like last week that they would They wouldn't have played 979 00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,919 Speaker 2: with their food under Jedfish these last couple of years 980 00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:44,239 Speaker 2: like they did against na. 981 00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:47,600 Speaker 1: Yards before contact tells you a lot, Yes, a lot 982 00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:50,239 Speaker 1: means your defensive lines getting blown off the ball as 983 00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:51,520 Speaker 1: a starting point. 984 00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:53,640 Speaker 2: Or the guys are running the wrong way right in that. 985 00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,920 Speaker 1: Wrong way, that there could be a lack of coordination. 986 00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:59,239 Speaker 1: There are so many different ways that you could attribute 987 00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:00,600 Speaker 1: that stat and. 988 00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:01,760 Speaker 2: Those aren't against good teams. 989 00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:03,720 Speaker 1: But they're not against good teams, and that's the problem 990 00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:04,279 Speaker 1: I have with it. 991 00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:07,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I listen, I know I'm putting myself out there right. 992 00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,839 Speaker 2: The early results have not been great for Arizona, so. 993 00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,799 Speaker 1: As we look ahead now in week three. Here's what 994 00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:15,400 Speaker 1: it looks like for us, Here's what it looks like 995 00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:18,200 Speaker 1: for you. Okay, we're obviously going to do our preview 996 00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:21,759 Speaker 1: episode on Thursday morning, which everybody can get out there 997 00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:24,719 Speaker 1: on their public podcast feed. You can watch it on 998 00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,640 Speaker 1: Thursday at noon if you're ever so inclined. We will 999 00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:32,840 Speaker 1: of course continue doing the live week three recap Saturday 1000 00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:36,760 Speaker 1: nights Eastern Time at midnight and then Friday AM at 1001 00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,959 Speaker 1: nine am Eastern Time. We've got Big ten Breakfasts third 1002 00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:41,960 Speaker 1: and still Big ten Breakfast. It gets a little bit 1003 00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:44,360 Speaker 1: better each week as we add in a few of 1004 00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:47,480 Speaker 1: our own little nicknacks. Yeah, I thought last week was 1005 00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,440 Speaker 1: a fun one. This week's going to be even more fun. 1006 00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:51,440 Speaker 2: Did you watch it back? I know you were flying. 1007 00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:52,799 Speaker 1: I watched it back. It was great. You did a 1008 00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:53,239 Speaker 1: great job. 1009 00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:53,680 Speaker 2: Thank you. 1010 00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,440 Speaker 1: We cut this ourselves. I don't know if people know that. Yeah, 1011 00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:58,719 Speaker 1: this is all you, so why you did a great 1012 00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:00,440 Speaker 1: job with that. It's out on our YouTube channel or 1013 00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:02,759 Speaker 1: just go to Big ten Breakfast dot com if you're 1014 00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:05,440 Speaker 1: interested in checking that out. Actually, I watched it back 1015 00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:07,960 Speaker 1: after the fact, after the games, and I thought our 1016 00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:10,520 Speaker 1: analysis was actually quite good. We did, okay, god Ty, 1017 00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:11,920 Speaker 1: look at us, we did okay? 1018 00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:13,040 Speaker 2: Who could have imagined? 1019 00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:15,839 Speaker 1: And then what does this week mean for you? Well, 1020 00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:20,560 Speaker 1: kind of got any rivalry week, don't we. 1021 00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:24,040 Speaker 2: That's true out West especially. Yeah, we've got. 1022 00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:25,800 Speaker 1: The Civil War, the Platypus Cup, whatever you want to 1023 00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:27,960 Speaker 1: call it, between Oregon and Oregon State. That one's in 1024 00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:32,239 Speaker 1: the afternoon in Corvallis. Yeah, in Corvallis on Saturday. We've 1025 00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:35,920 Speaker 1: also got the Apple Cup early this year, three thirty 1026 00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:39,239 Speaker 1: pm Eastern Time on Peacock, Washington, only by four and 1027 00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:43,879 Speaker 1: a half. We've also got the Colorado Colorado State game 1028 00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:46,840 Speaker 1: that I called out earlier. We've got the Backyard Brawl 1029 00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:51,480 Speaker 1: three thirty ESPN two between West Virginia and pitt. I've 1030 00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:53,000 Speaker 1: got a hot take on that game that I'm going 1031 00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:55,560 Speaker 1: to save for Thursday. And then we've got a handful 1032 00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:57,400 Speaker 1: of other games that I think are interesting in their 1033 00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:03,200 Speaker 1: own right mentioned Indiana, UCLA, Alabama, Wisconsin, LSU, South Carolina, 1034 00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:07,360 Speaker 1: Boston College, Missoo, Memphis, Florida State, Texas A and M 1035 00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:10,080 Speaker 1: against a DJ Lagway led Florida Gators team. 1036 00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:13,720 Speaker 2: They're sharing time. According to Billion Napier, today we'll see. 1037 00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:18,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see UCF against TCU Maryland versus Virginia. There 1038 00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:22,680 Speaker 1: are a bunch of games, even if they aren't top 1039 00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:26,680 Speaker 1: caliber battles between two ranked opponents. I think there are 1040 00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:28,920 Speaker 1: plenty of reasons for intrigue here. So we'll cover all 1041 00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:30,800 Speaker 1: of that in much much more on the Thursday episode 1042 00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:34,240 Speaker 1: that's upcoming. But I will say there is a window 1043 00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:36,440 Speaker 1: of opportunity coming up this week. I will discuss when 1044 00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:38,680 Speaker 1: you can go out and perhaps have a date. Okay, 1045 00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:40,400 Speaker 1: we're going to get away from the TV and build 1046 00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:42,480 Speaker 1: up some capital so that you can reinvest later in 1047 00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:45,799 Speaker 1: the college football season. Bear in mind that week's four 1048 00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:50,319 Speaker 1: and five looks significantly more interesting just from a ranked 1049 00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:53,439 Speaker 1: opponents standpoint. It looks really interesting in the Big twelve 1050 00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:56,359 Speaker 1: the next three weeks. I agree to just keep all 1051 00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:58,759 Speaker 1: that in mind, start planning ahead. That's what we're here 1052 00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:00,799 Speaker 1: for to help you do that. But that's what the 1053 00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:02,480 Speaker 1: week ahead looks like here in week three. 1054 00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:04,799 Speaker 2: You don't want my TEP dive on Oregon Boise State 1055 00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:07,000 Speaker 2: even more information. 1056 00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:10,160 Speaker 1: I don't have much. Do you have anything more? How 1057 00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:11,719 Speaker 1: much have you thought about this? How much have you 1058 00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:14,719 Speaker 1: read on the message boards about this? What are they 1059 00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:16,080 Speaker 1: saying on the message boards about this? 1060 00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:19,880 Speaker 2: I think Oregon fans just whether it's social media or 1061 00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:24,360 Speaker 2: boards or whatever, that a lot of this is self inflicted. 1062 00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:27,920 Speaker 2: That you know, the two fumbles and Dylan Gabriel, I 1063 00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:29,759 Speaker 2: think it's still sort of struggling to pick up some 1064 00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:33,200 Speaker 2: of how he should address pressure. I think a couple 1065 00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:35,280 Speaker 2: of those sacks were on him. It was an offensive 1066 00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:39,640 Speaker 2: line issues, and so it's new for Oregon. I think 1067 00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:41,400 Speaker 2: you have to give Boise State a good amount of 1068 00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:43,560 Speaker 2: credit for building the whole thing out of Ashton Genty 1069 00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:46,800 Speaker 2: and smart enough to know that Dylan Gabriel was struggling 1070 00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:51,000 Speaker 2: to pick up pressure and sort of adjust things. I 1071 00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:53,399 Speaker 2: don't know. I think Oregon's going to be better. They're 1072 00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:57,720 Speaker 2: playing uncharacteristically undisciplined on offense, and so as the offensive 1073 00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:01,080 Speaker 2: line gets healthier, they'll be better still, and Gabriel becomes 1074 00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:03,839 Speaker 2: more comfortable, they'll be better. Can he change the fact 1075 00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:05,760 Speaker 2: that he looks like he's five to five and a half. 1076 00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:10,120 Speaker 2: He cannot, And so when he has time, when he 1077 00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:13,120 Speaker 2: is protected, he throws as beautiful a ball in the sport, 1078 00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:17,400 Speaker 2: But that's not what this sport is. So we'll see, 1079 00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:20,319 Speaker 2: we'll see I have. I am still a believer that 1080 00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:23,080 Speaker 2: Oregon can win double digit games, but my prediction of 1081 00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:26,800 Speaker 2: them winning the national championship feels a little bit not great, 1082 00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:28,239 Speaker 2: and this moment. 1083 00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:29,719 Speaker 1: Ohio State feels better at this point. 1084 00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:31,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Games of Eugene. There's a lot of time 1085 00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:34,680 Speaker 2: until that game. Ohio State has not played anybody. We'll 1086 00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:36,640 Speaker 2: see what happens if they're pushed around a little bit, 1087 00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:41,680 Speaker 2: if they're pushed around a little bit, when they're pushed whatever. Still, 1088 00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:44,920 Speaker 2: you know it will Howard, It's not CJ. Stroud, So 1089 00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:48,399 Speaker 2: I don't know O're goonill improve. But the Boise State game, 1090 00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:52,840 Speaker 2: like you ditch those fumbles and it's you know, a 1091 00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:55,000 Speaker 2: forty one to twenty game or something like that. But 1092 00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:57,960 Speaker 2: you know that's football, and Oregon has not played to 1093 00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:00,400 Speaker 2: their standard. 1094 00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:03,600 Speaker 1: Be a bicycle day exactly right right in solid Verbal 1095 00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:05,640 Speaker 1: at gmail dot com or send us a text if 1096 00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:07,680 Speaker 1: you've got takes that you need to get off your 1097 00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:09,640 Speaker 1: chest at eight five to five verbal three.

Don I don't believe for a jam band. 1106 00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:30,400 Speaker 1: I don't think that is the reason for it.
