1
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: All right, welcome inn Lake Kick is Live. It is

2
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: Sunday night, October third, the O Our Lord twenty twenty one.

3
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: Such a jam packed show, and I don't want to overstate,

4
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 1: but it could be the most jam packed Thevest show

5
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: we have ever had. It wasn't a word before now,

6
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: but it is as of this moment. We got a

7
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: huge Week five to react to. There is a huge

8
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: Week six on deck. But that's what God made the

9
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: Tuesday show for it. This show is all about rapid

10
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: reaction and some other odds and ends that I'm going

11
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: to actually lead the show with in just a couple

12
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: of minutes. We've got a Renaissance tour destination to reveal,

13
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: fresh off a trip to Tuscaloosa. I'll tell you more

14
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 1: about that in a second. Where we headed this week,

15
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: I'll tell you momentarily. Georgia and Bama rolled yesterday, Florida

16
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: got upset down, goes Texas, A and m Cincinnati wins,

17
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: Auburn ends up winning. I mean, we really kind of

18
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: hit a heater as a show last week and called

19
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: every single one of the games I just mentioned, except

20
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: for the Georgia game, was a little bit off in

21
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: our expectation there. So I'll talk about that in just

22
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: a second. I've got ten more games that we're gonna

23
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: have rapid reactions to. We got some early best bets,

24
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: just one early best bet. We only moved on one game.

25
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: I looked at the board, I said, we see some value,

26
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: but some of these lines I think are gonna move.

27
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 1: So we're gonna wait. As opposed to last week. For instance,

28
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: the Penn State game, we moved on it early and

29
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: it ended up not mattering. They won twenty four to

30
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: nothing anyway, but there were some lines that moved against

31
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: us last week, so I want to wait a little

32
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: while this week. Make sure you're following on Twitter. Oh,

33
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 1: I cannot stress this enough. It was a very eventful

34
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: morning yesterday and if you weren't following on Instagram or Twitter,

35
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: you kind of missed it all at late kick Josh,

36
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: make sure you're following there. Now. Those of you who

37
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: do follow already know what I'm talking about, but those

38
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: of you who don't, I'm gonna get to it in

39
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: a second. I do want to thank everyone in Tuscaloosa.

40
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: Each week I've said this, so the next destination has

41
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: a lot to live up to. Never had more interaction

42
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: and more recognition publicly than we had in Tuscalosa at

43
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: the Alabama Old Miss game yesterday. So that continues to grow,

44
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: which is endemic of the fact that the show continues

45
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: to grow. Thank you, thank you, thank you. A lot

46
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: of kind words, very few negative words, So thank you

47
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: for that. Okay, yesterday was a big day because there's

48
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: a lot of college football going on. But you know

49
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: that's not how the day starts. They don't kick off

50
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: the games at nine am unless you live on the

51
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: West Coast, and I don't know how you people do that.

52
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: But there were some more heroes that emerged yesterday, and

53
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: we've got to crown some more heroes. We have for

54
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: this last several weeks now had those of you heading

55
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: out to the morning shows, whether it be Fox Big

56
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: noon kickoff or whether it be Game Day, and you

57
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: have been getting us on air. And when you get

58
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: us on air, you get one of these bad boys.

59
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 1: And if you can't see, and judging by the background

60
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: you probably can't, that is a chalice of supremacy. And

61
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: it's got that late kick logo embroidered, not embroidered, it's

62
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: engraved into it. And boy, you guys showed up. I

63
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: mean some of you didn't even wait until Saturday. You

64
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: started doing it Friday. So Gus Golden gets himself right

65
00:02:58,520 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: there in the background. I can see how that's a

66
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: I'll talk about it in a second. Gus Golden gets

67
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: himself on college game Day, Chalice of Supremacy coming your way.

68
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: Jacob Rossen gets his sign on Friday and Saturday on

69
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: I think it was sec Nation. You got one coming

70
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: your way to my friend. But that is celebratory. That

71
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: is a happy thing to talk about. However, yesterday morning,

72
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: as I'm in my hotel room, the beautiful Hyatt Regency

73
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 1: over downtown Birmingham, Alabama, I've started to get some troubling

74
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: emails and so one of them popped up, which is normal.

75
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: Two of them pop up, that's normal. But then like

76
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: a dozen emails popped up yesterday morning, and so colin

77
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: my email inbox starts to fill up Saturday morning and

78
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: I open them and there were some very very distressing

79
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: messages coming from Athens, Georgia, and Tuscaloosa, Alabama, but mainly Athens,

80
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: where college Game Day was. And you guys were telling

81
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: me that the security and production team there at College

82
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: Game Day. They were snatching your signs away from you,

83
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: which equals late kick poster BAM. Now, initially I was

84
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: taking in a back because I didn't really think it

85
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: was that big a deal. However, when some of you

86
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: sent me some screenshots of what that place looked like

87
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: before they took the signs down, I can understand why

88
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: they could not in good conscience allow that to go

89
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: on air because it looked like a lay kick infomercial.

90
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: So here's what I want to do. Because I haven't

91
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: spoken about this publicly yet, but I do want to

92
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: tell you I grew up watching College Game Day. I

93
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: am an immense admirer admirer of several people on that show,

94
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: so we're not savages here. I am more than willing

95
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: to issue a cease fire and reach across the table

96
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: and shake hands the emoji even truce. But I do

97
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: want to let you know one thing I saw that

98
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: Game Days headed to Dallas Saturday, Colin for the Red

99
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: River Shootout. It doesn't go by any other name around here,

100
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: and I just find that funny because guess what will

101
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: also be in Dallas this Saturday, Because the Renaissance Tour

102
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: is also taking us to the Cotton Bowl for a

103
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: high noon eleven local time kickoff between Oklahoma and Texas.

104
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: And so yes, I'm more than willing to tell let's

105
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: not inundate college game day with late kick posters. I

106
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: think our message has been delivered. But at the same time,

107
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: our balls, as we say, are in your court because

108
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: we'll be in the same town you guys will Saturday

109
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: morning hope to hear from you. You know how to

110
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: get in touch with me. Okay, let's move into actual games.

111
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: Some things happened yesterday that we expected. Several more things

112
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: happened yesterday that we did not expect. Let's discuss Alabama

113
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: and Georgia. Both were old yesterday. Bama was favored by

114
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: about fourteen and a half overall. Miss It was Georgia

115
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: I think by sixteen or seventeen, depending on when you

116
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: bet it, minus JT. Daniels. They still got the job done.

117
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: So let me start with Alabama. This is the game

118
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: that we were at yesterday. Boy, we nailed this one

119
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: down to the final score. Actually called Bama by three touchdowns.

120
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: They won by three touchdowns. The final here was forty

121
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: two to twenty one. Let me ask you a question,

122
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: when do you think lane Kiffen knew it was over

123
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: or when do you think he knew they were in

124
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: big trouble. I'm not going to go as far as

125
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: to say lane Kiffen was waving the white flag after

126
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: they got stopped on fourth and goal when the opening

127
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: drive was underway. I'm not gonna say that, but I

128
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: will say probably about two twenty to go in the

129
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: first quarter, when they turned it over on downs again

130
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: around midfield, there was a look on lane Kiffin's face.

131
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: I went back and watched the broadcast. I think it

132
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: was pretty evident to him at that point it's gonna

133
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: take a herculean effort, and we don't have a bunch

134
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: of hercules, all due respect on this sideline, especially compared

135
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: to their guys, which he was more than ready to

136
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: admit post game. But lane Kiffen went for it a

137
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: lot on fourth down. A lot of people made a

138
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: lot about that. I didn't. I was surprised that there

139
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: was a lot of surprise. The whole word and culture

140
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: of analytics is thrown around a lot. Some people have

141
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: no clue what they're talking about. I've never pretended to

142
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: be an expert in analytics. I do understand the concept.

143
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: But it's not like I walk around with the drive

144
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: chart and Okay, here's where you go forward, here's where

145
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: you don't. But I will tell you this, and I'll

146
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 1: give lane Kiffin credit for one thing. It's not the

147
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: toss in the headset gets your popcorn ready comment pregame.

148
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: But postgame he was asked about that and he said, no,

149
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: we do again. I know they looked like they were

150
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: risky calls, but they really weren't risky calls at all.

151
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: We decided along before we even got in town. Here

152
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: that's what we were going to do. Now here's the

153
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: difference between maybe you and him. You may have had

154
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: some false sense of hope that old miss possessed the

155
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: kind of defense that it takes to stop Obama. He

156
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: was never under that illusion. Lane Kiffin knew it was

157
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: only a matter of time. They can either score in

158
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: two minutes or they can score in five and a

159
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: half minutes. But they're gonna score on you. If you

160
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: didn't watch the game yesterday, go watch the replay. That's

161
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: all the evidence you'll need. And so lane Kiffin said,

162
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: it more than made sense from a risk reward scenario.

163
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: It more than made sense. So you know, perhaps this

164
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: is as good a read as we ever ended up

165
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: having on a game so far this year, because if

166
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: you'll go back to the Tuesday show, what we expected

167
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: to happen, and the reason I thought Alabama was going

168
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: to get some margin on Old Miss was because I

169
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: highly expected that the adjustments defensively for Alabama. We're not

170
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: gonna shut all Miss down necessarily. They kind of ended

171
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: up doing it in the first half. I didn't think

172
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: we're going to shut him down. What I thought they

173
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: were gonna do is make it harder to get first downs,

174
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: therefore putting Lane Kiffin in some very uncomfortable fourth down

175
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: situations that he was going to have to make an

176
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: uncomfortable decision on early in the game. It's exactly what happened.

177
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: The problem is they did not come out on the

178
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: plus side nearly enough. Listen to their first half drive summary.

179
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: The Ole Miss rebels in the first half turnover on downs,

180
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: turnover on downs, punt, turnover on downs, fumble, net fumble

181
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:34,479
Speaker 1: turned into seven points. Alabama. Conversely, in the first half touchdown, touchdown, punt, touchdown, touchdown.

182
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: The record's not skipping. That's the way it went, and

183
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: it was twenty eight to nothing at the half. I

184
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: think it was thirty five to nothing before you could

185
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: even take your seat again for the third quarter. Alabama's

186
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: defensive front had about as good a game as they've

187
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: had all year, and you could maybe stretch back the

188
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 1: last couple of years. They were disruptive, but they also

189
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: stopped the run. See this game last year. While everyone

190
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: remembered the big plays maybe by Matt Correll, what really

191
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 1: kept Ole missing the game last year was Bama. I

192
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: couldn't stop him. They ran the ball two hundred and

193
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: fifty yards and it wasn't even something that was an

194
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: integral part of the game plan coming in. They just

195
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: did it yesterday. They ran it thirty four times for

196
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: seventy eight yards. That's two point three per clip. That's

197
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: not good enough. And so Alabama, you know, I took

198
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: I think took the best approach that they could take

199
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: yesterday because they didn't really air it out either. I

200
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: think they took a couple of deep shots, buying large.

201
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,959
Speaker 1: Nick Saban said postgame, we knew that we could run

202
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: it on them, and we knew physically that we had

203
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: a mismatch up front. We took advantage of it. It

204
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: was a rare statistical imbalance for Alabama. Rarely do you

205
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 1: look at a stat sheet and see twenty seven passes

206
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: fifty runs. That's what Michigan does. That's not what Alabama

207
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: normally does. But Brian Robinson, probably for the first time

208
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: since Derrick Henry came through there as one human being,

209
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: carries the ball thirty six times for them, and he

210
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: needed to because they lost Jace McClelland most likely for

211
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: the season. I've not seen a firm update on him today,

212
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: but the talk around the program wasn't all that great

213
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: last night. The thing to watch with Bama going fall,

214
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: the word is they're a little bit more thin at

215
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: running back, probably than nationally folks realize. Now. Brian Robinson's

216
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 1: a stub obviously, Roydale Williams is a guy they can

217
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: count on. But you start getting down that list, and

218
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: where's Jace mclelland's name would have been there, It's not

219
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: there anymore. Whereas Keelan Robinson in the past, he would

220
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: have been there when he was transferred to Texas. Kamar

221
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: Wheaton not gonna be ready to play anytime soon. And

222
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: so this is why you never stop recruiting you never

223
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: stop recruiting. I don't care how loaded it looks like

224
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 1: your tailback room is. You never stop recruiting because that's

225
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: a physical, violent position, and this is the kind of

226
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: thing that can happen. Alabama goes to Texas A and

227
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: M this Saturday. They are favored. Are the Alabama Crimson

228
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: Tide by seventeen and a half points. Ole Miss, for

229
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,719
Speaker 1: the record, has Arkansas and they are favored. Are the

230
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: ole Miss Rebels by four and a half points. How

231
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: about Georgia woof or woolf. I guess I can go

232
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: ahead and put the hard f on it. Woolf total

233
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: inverse of what Arkansas experienced against Texas A and M

234
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: last week. If you'll remember, what the padlock stat ended

235
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: up being in the Arkansas Texas A and M game

236
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: was seventeen. They scored seventeen first quarter points. They led

237
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: seventeen and nothing. We didn't know it at the time,

238
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,239
Speaker 1: but that was all it was gonna take. And Arkansas

239
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: ended up running away, albeit by a ten point margin,

240
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: but it was a runaway win over Texas A and M. Well,

241
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: in this game, Georgia gets up twenty one zip and

242
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: that was it. That was ballgame, and maybe you even

243
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: knew it then. I was about to say we didn't

244
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 1: know it at the time. You probably knew it even then.

245
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: I can tell you I stopped paying attention to it

246
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 1: after that point. How about the situation that Georgia found

247
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: themselves in. It was kind of funny to gauge the

248
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: national reaction pregame when the nation found out that JT.

249
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: Daniels wasn't going to start for Georgia. I know what

250
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: a lot of you said. A lot of you said,

251
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: where's my phone. Let me get into my sports book

252
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: account and lay some money on Arkansas before the odds

253
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: makers have a chance to move the line. They never

254
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: really moved that line a whole lot, did they. I mean,

255
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: I know it adjusted a point and a half. Imagine

256
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: being so good that you can lose your QB one

257
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 1: and yawn while you do it, have your back up,

258
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: throw the ball I think eleven times total, and just

259
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: run away, just body bag a top ten team, because

260
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: that's what happened yesterday. There was some of that lazy

261
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: talk afterwards. Well, Arkansas was kind of a paper tiger. No,

262
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: they weren't. Arkansas is a very good team, not past

263
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: tense Arkansas is a very good team, but the problem

264
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: is George is just that much better. And so I

265
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: know it's been a renaissance year, and I know we've

266
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:32,599
Speaker 1: seen a lot of upsets. We're gonna talk about a

267
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: couple of them coming up not at the top. We're not.

268
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: Bama's not losing and George is not losing. And the

269
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: only thing that will probably change that is when they

270
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: play each other. And I don't even know if that's

271
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: going to be in singular form. It'll probably be in

272
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: plural form the times they play each other. But it

273
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: was really impressive because, like I said, Georgia threw the

274
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 1: ball eleven times yesterday and they had four running backs

275
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: with double digit carries. They ran it fifty six times

276
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 1: for two hundred and seventy three yards, which is refreshing

277
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: because that run game has not fired on all cylinders

278
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: quite yet, quite to the degree Georgia fans have wanted it.

279
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you where I was most wrong in

280
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: this game. We thought Georgia would win the game. I

281
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 1: thought the margin would be closer, thought Arkansas had a

282
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: chance at the cover. The reason I thought that is

283
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: because George's m right now is physical mismatch, and it's

284
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: leaning on teams until they fold. I simply did not

285
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: think they could do that against Arkansas, and I was

286
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: wrong because they did it. And if you can do

287
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: that against Arkansas, let me tell you, friends, if you

288
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: can physically make Arkansas tap out, you can make any

289
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: team in the country. Maybe not physically tap out, but

290
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: you can have the physical edge over any team in

291
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: the country. And that includes that script A that I

292
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: have on the bottom of the screen here, because Arkansas

293
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: really doesn't take a back seat to many teams physically.

294
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: Now depth wise, talent wise, they may, but boy, we're

295
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: not going to talk about the SEC championship game right now.

296
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: It's hard to envision a scenario where those two don't

297
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 1: meet in Atlanta. But that's how you remove all the

298
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: variants from the equation. If you've got to throw the

299
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: ball a lot, if you're counting on precision, timing and accuracy, Hey,

300
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: crazy things can happen in a football game. When you

301
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: can just pound someone like a whack a mole game,

302
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: you win it ten times out of ten. Georgia wins

303
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: that game yesterday, backup quarterback or not ten times out

304
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: of ten. Once you've got the benefit of seeing the game.

305
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: I think most of you would agree with me. Arkansas

306
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: is not a bad team. Arkansas's not overrated. Arkansas is

307
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: coming out of yesterday everything I thought they were going

308
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: into yesterday. My opinion, if it changed it all, probably

309
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: took a tick up, Probably a couple of ticks up.

310
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: On Georgia, another impressive performance. The Dogs go on the

311
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: road this Saturday. They opened I think as a fourteen

312
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: and a half point favorite. I keep saying open. I

313
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: missed the openings. I'm telling you what they are right now.

314
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: They're favorite by about fourteen and a half. At Auburn,

315
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: this suddenly upstart Bo Nicks led Auburn Tigers. We'll talk

316
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: about that game in a second. Oh boy, So I

317
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: was on the road Friday, as I often am, and

318
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: I got some texts that I could not open until Saturday.

319
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: So shame on me, But I wanted to show you something.

320
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: Always do this. You know, Academy Sports and Outdoors is

321
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: our primary partner. They are the only partner we had.

322
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: We didn't take fifteen different folks here. But I want

323
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: you to look. If you're listening, let me paint the

324
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: picture for you. On the podcast. We are looking at

325
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: shots of beautiful Headland, Alabama, and one of our longtime viewers,

326
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: Coach Chip, got a YouTube channel of his own, coach

327
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: Chip Go check it out almost at a thousand subs,

328
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: So let's get him over the hump. He took these

329
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: pictures for us. This is in Headland, Alabama. As I said,

330
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: you see the academy tents. Those things are a godsend

331
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: when you have a situation where otherwise you got some

332
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: sensitive skin you can't afford be outside more than thirty

333
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: or forty five minutes. Those things are great. I mean,

334
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: they just littered the landscape in Tuscalousa yesterday. But as

335
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: you see, it's not just a college tailgate situation. I

336
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: was at a place, ironically enough called Pate Park Thursday

337
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: in Harris County, Georgia. Academy tents, aad academy everything, actually

338
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: everywhere it was like a Peate Academy park. And then

339
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: in Headland, Alabama they got it too. Now I do

340
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: want to give some acknowledgment before we continue, because the

341
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: Vicksburg Mighty Mite Panthers did pull off a twenty to

342
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: six victory in this game, So congratulations to Wicksburg, but

343
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: also congratulations do Academy, because without them, I don't even

344
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: think the game could have happened. Make sure wherever you're

345
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: heading out, I don't care if it's a middle school game,

346
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: or high school game, or college tailgating scene. Academy Sports

347
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: and Outdoors they got everything that you could ever need.

348
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: I walked through the tailgating scene at Alabama yesterday. Everywhere grills,

349
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: those tents, those canopies, t shirts and everything I saw.

350
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: I thought to myself, they either got it at Academy

351
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: because I can see the logo right there, or they

352
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: could have gotten it at Academy. They are the official

353
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: outdoor sporting goods partner of not only the Big twelve

354
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: in the SEC, but Late Kick and you guys have

355
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: done a phenomenal job not only of patronizing our partner

356
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: and man, do we appreciate it and they appreciate it,

357
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: but showing us evidence that you're doing it too. That's

358
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: become really fun. It's almost like a challenge of how

359
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: creative you guys can get. One of you one of

360
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: you was holding up a new I think set of

361
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: golf clubs. No, it wasn't golf clubs. What was I

362
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: don't know one of you was holding it up like

363
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: semba outside of one of their one of their stores

364
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: the other day, kind of like that cat that fell

365
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: out of the bleachers in Miami. And so that was fun.

366
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: I sent it right to our academy reps. They love

367
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: getting that stuff, So by all means, continue to shop

368
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: Academy and then continue to send me the evidence that

369
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 1: you do. All right, let's move it on here. We

370
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 1: got several more games to get to. We're just getting started.

371
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: If I hadn't talked about your game already, chances are

372
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: I'm going to Auburn went into Death Valley and won

373
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: yesterday in what a football game, twenty four to nineteen,

374
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 1: first time since this millennium. The last time Auburn won

375
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: at LSU, folks were worried about Y two K. That's

376
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: how long it's been since Auburn won on the road

377
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: at LSU. Two things that cannot be overstated enough here.

378
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: Point number one, how much this means to the people

379
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 1: at Auburn. You can overstate it, And really it takes

380
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 1: a specific kind of person to even understand it, because

381
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: you have to have been around the program to understand

382
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: how painful this series has been for them on the road.

383
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: And then the second thing you can't overstate enough is

384
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: how disastrous this result is for Edwor's run. I mean,

385
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: this is a big deal, and this is going to

386
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: end up being a keystone turn of events. The keystone

387
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: meaning it's gonna have a ripple effect Ultimately if this

388
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: job comes open, that impacts the entire landscape of college football.

389
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: So I don't care if you're an Oregon State fan.

390
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: Ultimately what happens at LSU can impact your program. That's

391
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: why you need to start paying attention if you're not already.

392
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: Most people have no idea how tumultuous the last week

393
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: was at Auburn. Keep in mind, they go on the

394
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: road and lose to Penn State two weeks ago, narrowly.

395
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: They're in it in the fourth quarter, they're throwing for

396
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 1: the end zone with no time left, and then they

397
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: come home and almost get upset by Georgia State. They

398
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: had to have a valiant come from behind effort in

399
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: the final seconds against Georgia State at home to escape

400
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: with the victory. And then you got quarterback controversy all

401
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: week because Bo Nick's got benched in that game. So

402
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: you got all that drama happening. Brian Harson fires his

403
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 1: wide receivers coach, and so you got everybody with an

404
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: opinion on that, and everyone claims to know the angle

405
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: and whyn't really happen. It couldn't just be the guy

406
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: who's underperforming. There has to be more to it. I'm

407
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: not in the program, so I'm not telling you I know.

408
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you I observed the whole lot of

409
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 1: other people who don't know pretend like they knew. And

410
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: then you go into a place where you hadn't won

411
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: this millennium. Oh, and you get down thirteen to nothing,

412
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: and they got it done anyway. They bubblegum and paper

413
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 1: clipped their way to a win down there. And it

414
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 1: was a sight tip behold. I was driving back last

415
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: night and I was listening on the radio and this

416
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: was entertaining radio. I know it was Barrett Jones on Color.

417
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: I can't remember who's doing play by play. Those guys

418
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 1: did a great job on this game. And the reason

419
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: I remember Barrett Jones was on the call is cause

420
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,479
Speaker 1: of a point he made that I'm about to bring up.

421
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: But Brian Harson did not hide his quarterbacks here. They

422
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: may have been flip flopping already a couple of times

423
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,719
Speaker 1: this year. He did not hide the quarterbacks he couldn't

424
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,239
Speaker 1: afford to. Tank Bigsby is at far less than one

425
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: hundred percent. If you don't know that already, well you

426
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: didn't know it last night, you do know it watching

427
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: the game. He was for most of this game a

428
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: non factor. If I told you that, if I told

429
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: you statistically, Tank Bigsby's in an being kind of a

430
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 1: non factor, and they're gonna go down there and they're

431
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 1: gonna play both quarterbacks and they're gonna get down thirteen

432
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: to nothing, what would you have thought? You would have thought, Hey, good,

433
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: another solid win for LSU. Nope, Bo Knicks, I don't

434
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: know where it measures up statistically. I didn't even bother

435
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: pulling it up. This is probably the highlight of his

436
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: career that Oregon win to start last season. Notwithstanding, I

437
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: think this is the highlight of his career and they've

438
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,719
Speaker 1: beaten Alabama. To me, this is the highlight of Bo

439
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: Knicks's career. He's a foxhole guy. He is not going

440
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 1: to blow you up stat wise. He's not gonna make

441
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: your All American list. He's not going to be in

442
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 1: New York City for the Heisman Trophy ceremony. He is

443
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: a foxhole guy. He's a competitor. And I'll tell you

444
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: when I was driving back last night, I was listening

445
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 1: on the radio, as I said, and in the fourth quarter,

446
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: Barrett Jones, who was doing the color for the game,

447
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: he made an interesting point. Bow Knicks was in this game. TJ.

448
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: Finley was in this game, and he said, I'm gonna

449
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: tell you my observation and then I'm gonna let it go.

450
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: He said, when bow Knicks was in that game and

451
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,959
Speaker 1: then he got taken out in TJ went in. He

452
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: was standing right there, front and center, biggest cheerleader, never

453
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: took a seat. And then when bon Nicks got put

454
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: back in, TJ. Finley was on the bench with a

455
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: towel over his head. I didn't watch the game yet,

456
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 1: but I'm telling you that's a pretty interesting observation. I'm

457
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,479
Speaker 1: not using that to not TJ. Finley either. TJ. Finley,

458
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: you do what you do. I'm telling you it says

459
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: a little something about bon Nicks. And he got back

460
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: in there and he ended up being able to win

461
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: a game for him, and he won a game when

462
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: the running backs could not carry the day, which is

463
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 1: normally the formula for Auburn to win a football game.

464
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: They had a ninety two yard drive to end up

465
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: capping this thing. Jaques Hunter he had six carries, they

466
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 1: all counted eighty yards. He had a forty four yard

467
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 1: I think he took like a swing pass there late

468
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. But the opinion of Brian Harson

469
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: you didn't hear all week was that of his players.

470
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: You noticed that if you were around Auburn football all week,

471
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: you heard the opinion of every sports writer and talk

472
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: show host, YouTube host up to including me. You heard

473
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 1: all those opinions. The opinions you didn't really hear were

474
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: those of his players. Because you heard him last night,

475
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: they had to open their mouth. They showed you with

476
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 1: their play. They fought. Auburn probably fought as hard last

477
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: night in that game as I've seen them fight. You

478
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 1: got concerns, and legitimate concerns when you have turmoil to

479
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: the degree they've at least perceptionally had all week as

480
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 1: to whether you got your locker room or not, Well,

481
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about that. Those guys went over the cliff.

482
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: Those guys had like an Arkansas for Sam Pittman level

483
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: fight in him last night, which is one of the

484
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: highest compliments you can pay in college football right now,

485
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 1: So man, congratulations to Auburn. I know those guys down there,

486
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: I know how big a win this was. But now

487
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: for LSU, I want to be careful. You know the

488
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: kinds of things I do and don't like to talk

489
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: about here. LSU's defense was on the field for eighty

490
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: eight plays. Two weeks ago, I told you if this

491
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: was a one possession game either way in the fourth quarter,

492
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: that was gonna end up biting them. Sure enough, Auburn,

493
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: after being down thirteen zip, they get it to within

494
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 1: one possession in the fourth quarter, and then Auburn in

495
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter outscored LSU fourteen to nothing. They ran

496
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 1: twenty one plays, they had eleven rushes for eighty one yards.

497
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: That's seven point four per Carrie. Auburn owned the fourth quarter.

498
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: LSU could not withstand it in the fourth quarter. And

499
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: that did not happen last night. That started to happen

500
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: two weeks ago when they couldn't get off the field enough.

501
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: I see no way Ed Orszron survives this season. Can't

502
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,199
Speaker 1: paint a picture I've tried all day. I am the

503
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 1: last person on this planet to ever say it. I'm

504
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: normally way late to this party. Ed Orszron's not going

505
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: to be the head coach at LSU next year. I

506
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: don't know that he's going to be the head coach

507
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: at the end of this year. I hate to say it.

508
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: There's been some really really good times with Edorzeron down there,

509
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: but the program is regressing on so many fronts simultaneously.

510
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 1: I watched this postgame press conference last night. God didn't

511
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: take responsibility for anything. It's pretty disappointing, to be real

512
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 1: with you. LSU's not the first team that's ever lost

513
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,439
Speaker 1: a football game, man. LSU's not the first team that

514
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 1: ever had a team in regression mode. But man, if

515
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 1: you were in that situation, you learn a lot about

516
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: the character of your leader in the bad times, because

517
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: in the bad times, I'm supposed to be hearing I,

518
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: and the good times, that's when I'm supposed to be

519
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 1: hearing WE. The best leaders deflect the praise and they

520
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: shoulder the blame, and ed Oazaron wanted none of that,

521
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: and it's kind of been that way for a little

522
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: while now. I don't think he's going to survive down there.

523
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: They had twenty four carries for twenty nine yards last night.

524
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: One of the biggest stories that's not on the national radar,

525
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: but in the South is being talked about a lot.

526
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: Is just the horrific decline of the LSU rush game.

527
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: On what planet does LSU have a successful program when

528
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,479
Speaker 1: they can't carry it for better than one point two

529
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: yards per carry at home in a rivalry game. No less,

530
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: offensive line is worse today than it was to start

531
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 1: the year. They had very bad game management last night,

532
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 1: and I think we all know where the buck stops

533
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: on this. And you get paid to the point where

534
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: these are not unrealistic expectations. We're not asking you to

535
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: go take Alabama to the cleaners. You're talking about winning

536
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: at home as a favorite and at least being competitive

537
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: enough where you've put a product on the field that's balanced.

538
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you get your choice, you get your choice

539
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: of most of the top talent in America, and that's

540
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: the best offensive product they can put together. They should

541
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: be struggling at quarterback. That's where they should be struggling.

542
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: The should be struggling at running back an offensive line.

543
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: They lost the quarterback Max Johnson's played phenomenally. Given the

544
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: circumstances around him, He's played phenomenally. It's all the other

545
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: areas of the program that are big problems. I don't

546
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: see him being rectified. I don't see ed Orgron being

547
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 1: able to hang on to that job. And if that happens,

548
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: we don't do a whole lot of hot seat talk here,

549
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: but I'm telling you, as a matter of fact, if

550
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: that happens, it's a keystone move, because that is a

551
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 1: ripple effect. They feel it in Southern col Because I'll

552
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: tell you now a little bit more, since this is

553
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: kind of out in the open, I'm gonna tell you

554
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: a little bit more about what I got told a

555
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. A couple of weeks ago, when

556
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: the Southern Cow job came open and a lot of

557
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: names started to get thrown around, I had an agent

558
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 1: tell me forget about it. I said, what do you mean,

559
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,400
Speaker 1: forget about it? The job's open. He goes, no, no, no, no,

560
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: don't forget about the job. Forget about anybody rushing to

561
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 1: fill it, because we all believe or Jaron is done.

562
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: This is the agent talking at the time, not me.

563
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: He said It is a widely held believe. It is

564
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: a widely held consensus belief in our world that the

565
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: LSU job is going to come open, and no coach

566
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 1: and no agent worth their salt is going to let

567
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: their client make a move on that usc job before

568
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: we see what happens with that LSU job. LSU is

569
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: one of the top five jobs in America. They don't

570
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: have to settle. They will have their pick. There are

571
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: very quality head coaches out there that would bear crawl

572
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: over broken glass to get a shot to be the

573
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: head man in Baton Rouge. They deserve better. They just

574
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: deserve better. That's it. Let's move on because there's a

575
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 1: place where, boy, they're getting immense return on their investment

576
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: right now. That's Cincinnati. Cincinnati twenty four, Notre Dame thirteen.

577
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: I said it, and I'll say it again. I think

578
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: it's the biggest win in Cincinnati program history because I

579
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: think the ramifications are of a bigger magnitude than anything

580
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 1: that's happened in this program's history. I'll talk about that

581
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: more later. But this game started so similar to the

582
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: way Old Miss Alabama started. A lot of you probably

583
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: didn't see this because there were a lot of games

584
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: happened and simultaneous, but Notre Dame opened this game just

585
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: like old Miss didingas Obama. They start going shot for shot,

586
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: shot right down the field. Notre Dame ends up going

587
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: eleven plays sixty nine yards. They converted a fourth and ten.

588
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 1: Does that sound familiar? And they get down to first

589
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: and goal and then they throw an interception in the

590
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: end zone, and that really was kind of the story

591
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 1: of the day. There were several times where you watched

592
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 1: Notre Dame in this game and you look dowt him

593
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: and you just said, wow, that's sloppy. Cincinnati's clicking too.

594
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,360
Speaker 1: So you got Cincinnati executing at the level you would

595
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: expect them to execute, knowing their seasons on the line,

596
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: coming out of a bye week, and you got Notre

597
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: Dame looking at times just disinterested. I'm not saying they

598
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,719
Speaker 1: were saying the layman's eye would indicate that if they

599
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: were watching this game. Cincinnati led seventeen to nothing at halftime.

600
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: Their pass rush ended up forcing a couple of interceptions

601
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: actually in the first half, and so Cincey had control

602
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: of this game. Again, we didn't note at the time

603
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 1: the game was over at the half in Notre Dame.

604
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: No less, the starting point here is important to remember.

605
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 1: The starting point in this game was not all can

606
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: Cincinnati the upstart underdog of ten plus points. Can they

607
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: go in there and find a way if all the

608
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 1: stars aligned, they could beat Notre Dame. That wasn't the

609
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: starting point here. Cincinnati was the better team going into

610
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: the game. I thought that odds makers kind of thought it,

611
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 1: but I absolutely thought it, and we talked about it

612
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: last week. I thought they were gonna win by more

613
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: than a touchdown, said it on the show. They ended

614
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: up doing it. That's great for us, but it's really

615
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: great for Cincinnati. But if you think about what Notre

616
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: Dame was facing, they were already gonna have to have

617
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: some things go their way. It actually happened the opposite way.

618
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: So you add in the lack of focus and the

619
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: lack of execution, rotating three quarterbacks in the game. I'm

620
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: about to talk about that Notre Dame had little shot.

621
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: They gave themselves very little shot to win this game,

622
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: and they're in a place it's Notre Dame, that no

623
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: team wants to be, and that is halfway through your season.

624
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: You're playing three quarterbacks. Brian Kelly talked about it post

625
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: game yesterday. No way that can continue. For the record,

626
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna go with Drew Pine because the

627
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: offensive line situation there. I think that you're gonna have

628
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: to live with some growing pains. But he's the guy

629
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: with the most mobility. He's the guy that probably gives

630
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: you a chance to function at the highest level as

631
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: an offense. But man, it's tough to watch that. I

632
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: watched the replay earlier today. It's tough to watch. But

633
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: I'll say again what I've said since July, and a

634
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: lot of people disagreed, and it's just I'm not even

635
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: trying to be controversial. You guys know, if I was

636
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: trying to take a side, i'd want to take the

637
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: other side because of how outspoken I've been about G

638
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: five inclusion in the playoff in the past. But I'm

639
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: a realist and since July this has been clear to me.

640
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: Cincinnati does not, just as of this moment, control their

641
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: own postseason faith. They always did. This was always gonna happen.

642
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: Cincinnati was always gonna make it in if they were undefeated.

643
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: There were all these folks in July said, well, what

644
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: if there's no defeated Big ten. There's none feated Big two.

645
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: There won't be. There never was gonna be. How would

646
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: you have looked out over the landscape in July and

647
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: thought there were all these mega powers that were just

648
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: gonna cruise and then anyone else was gonna be locked out.

649
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: That's not the way it is. Cincinnati's in if they

650
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: go undefeated. I don't even have a whole lot of

651
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: trepidation about saying that now. I certainly didn't in July either.

652
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: They control their postseason fate, and as much as I

653
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: fought against it in the past, that team will deserve

654
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: to be in. I do believe that that team will

655
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: deserve to be in. They are the best They're in

656
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: the best position of G five team's been m Their

657
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: starting point was immensely higher, their entry point was immensely

658
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: higher this season than any G five team is seen.

659
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: And they've accomplished a couple of things. You told them

660
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: to go on the road and beat Power five programs,

661
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: They've done all of it. They play in a conference

662
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: every bit as competitive as lower level power fives at

663
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: this point. So if they this is a big if,

664
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: they still got to win these games now. But if

665
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: they win these games. Yeah, I think they'll be in.

666
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: I think they deserve to be in. All right, let's

667
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: roll it on. One cough. We had like fifteen coughs

668
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: last show, so one cough. I think I'm permitted. We

669
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: were doing the Friday Night Lines. Secret management doesn't know

670
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: about a gambling segment Friday, and I had to end

671
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: it abruptly because I had such a tickle in my throat.

672
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: I had to go off air. It was embarrassing. And

673
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: then like twenty of you messaged me and said, do

674
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: you have COVID No? No, but I didn't have a voice.

675
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,479
Speaker 1: I had a very itchy throat, So I'm good. I'm

676
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 1: still testing positive for an itchy throat though, so coughs

677
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: on occasion are still going to happen. You know, Kentucky

678
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: beat Florida yesterday. A lot of you watched the game,

679
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: so you already know. But if you didn't watch the

680
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: game and the box score was censored and all you

681
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: got to see were the stats but you didn't get

682
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: to see the final score, I can't make sense of it.

683
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: I watched the game too, I still can't make said.

684
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what we saw. I have no clue

685
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: how this happened. You tell me, on what planet does

686
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: Kentucky throw for eighty seven yards and then run for

687
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty seven They break even in the

688
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: turnover battle, they go one of nine on third down,

689
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: and they beat Florida. On what planet does that happen?

690
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: It happened on this planet, and it happened last night.

691
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: So I want to say first things. First, congratulations are

692
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: in order to Kentucky. They are five and oh. Mark

693
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: Stoops is five and oh and so they've got their

694
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: entire set of hopes and dreams and every goal they

695
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: had in the preseason it's still in front of them.

696
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: And I want to congratulate them because it's about to

697
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: sound like I'm overlooking them because the other nine tenths

698
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: of this segment's going to be spent on Florida. I'm

699
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: I just think the game was more about Florida. If

700
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: you want me to be brutally honest with you, but

701
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: that doesn't take away from anything you accomplished. No, I'm

702
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: going to hear from a couple of you, specifically that

703
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: I hear from every week. So congratulations Kentucky. Back to

704
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: back years, Florida has completely obliterated their foot with a

705
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: machine gun in Big Mum to win conference games. Last

706
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: year it was the LSU game as a twenty four

707
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: point favorite, and yesterday as an over touchdown favorite on

708
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: the road, it was the Kentucky game. This is not

709
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: the Roman colisseum you guys went into. You know that, right,

710
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: Eight faalse start penalties, fifteen penalties overall for one hundred

711
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: and fifteen yards, Totally unprepared, appeared totally disinterested. Dan Molly

712
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 1: got asked in the postgame if he got out coached,

713
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: how did you have to ask? Why did anyone have

714
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: to ask? You're just looking for validations at that point,

715
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: But I think we already know the answer there. Clock

716
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,479
Speaker 1: management was bad to end the first half, eight false starts,

717
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: As I said, one hundred and fifteen yards in total penalties.

718
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: Florida is not the only major program that's ever lost

719
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: a game. Okay, Florida is not the only major program

720
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: that's ever been up against the ropes against a team

721
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: they're favored against. That that's not the first time that's

722
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: ever happened. That happens to other programs sometimes. Here's the

723
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: problem when it comes to the expectation level at Florida,

724
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: it's really high. It's right up there with the Georgia's

725
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: and the Alabama's and the Ohio States and Clemsons. And

726
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: that's fine. I think that should be the expectation level

727
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: at Florida. But the problem is the level of recruiting

728
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:13,800
Speaker 1: is not there, and Florida does not have the level

729
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:17,399
Speaker 1: of player necessary to bail them out in these situations.

730
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: If Bama's in that situation yesterday, if Georgia is in

731
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 1: that situation, which they rarely are, but if they were,

732
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: they'd just out athlete you. They would just beat you

733
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 1: over the head with their helmet, the logo, whether it's

734
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: fair to say that, whether it's politically correct to say

735
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: it or not. They're just better than you, and they'll

736
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 1: out athlete you and they only need about their C

737
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: plus game to beat you. If you're Kentucky, that's probably

738
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: the case. And Kentucky folks know that. I mean, at

739
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,760
Speaker 1: your best, you still need help from the elite programs

740
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: if you're gonna beat them. Florida is not at that level. Now.

741
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 1: Florida is capable, as we saw against Alabama, if everything

742
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: clicks for them, of putting together a really competitive effort

743
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: and maybe even beating you. But if they don't have

744
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 1: at least their B plus game, they don't have the

745
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,320
Speaker 1: depth and caliber of athlete to just win, to just

746
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 1: player you to death. They don't have it. And so

747
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 1: the problem here is the expectation level is Georgia, but

748
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: sometimes the recruiting levels far below that. And so like

749
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: I watch Florida, I don't see hot Sea, like I

750
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: don't sit here and trash Dan Mullen. I thought yesterday

751
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: was not his best day. I thought the LSU game

752
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: was not his best game last year. I don't take

753
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 1: the added ten steps a lot of my Florida buddies have.

754
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: I know why you're frustrated. I know that you're frustrated.

755
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: I get all of it. But if I could just

756
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 1: send one message to Dan Mullen, I know he watches

757
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: the show. Obviously, you either got to execute at the

758
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: level Iowa does, or you gotta recruit at the level

759
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: Alabama does. You can't be a Hodgepodge. You can't execute

760
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 1: at a subpar level and then lack the athletes to

761
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 1: bail you out. You gotta be prepared every week. This

762
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 1: is not rocket science. We have a five year old

763
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: cousin could know that it's not rocket science, but yet

764
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: they don't do it. And then Dan Mullen in his

765
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,879
Speaker 1: postgame press conference, I'm not even critical of the guy

766
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 1: about this particular thing that a lot of you were

767
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: upset about. He got asked, did you get out coached?

768
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: Even if he knows the answers yes, he's not telling

769
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 1: you people the answers yes. He's not giving you the satisfaction.

770
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: And you will get satisfaction, trust me, I know you

771
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,479
Speaker 1: you will if he says yes. But yeah he did.

772
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 1: He did, because preparation is part of coaching. It's not

773
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: all on a grease board. Like if your guys aren't

774
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 1: ready to execute at a higher level than eight false

775
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 1: starts in a game, you got out coached. You got

776
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: out prepared. That's the way it is, Bruce Hornsby, that's

777
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: the way it is. So Florida has got two losses

778
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 1: now and they're going They're going up against Vanderbilt this week.

779
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 1: So that is just what the doctor ordered. A nice

780
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: little thirty nine point favorite situation. You can start praying

781
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: for Vanderbilt now, by the way, you don't have to

782
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: wait until Friday. You can go ahead and put the

783
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: hashtag prayers for commodoores up right now. But I don't

784
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: really know where this goes, because it could go on.

785
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: Florida's can still be a very competit team. Florida's gonna

786
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 1: go to LSU that they could beat LSU. Obviously, Florida's

787
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 1: gonna play Georgia. Gonna be a really really tough ask there.

788
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: But you know, you've got, right now, two games and

789
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: then the bye and then the Georgia game. You got

790
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,479
Speaker 1: to redefine some of your goals. And the goal now

791
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 1: has to be that that game in Jacksonville is your

792
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 1: super Bowl. That is how you redefine what your season's about.

793
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 1: And then if you pull that one off, who knows

794
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: what happens down the road. But what a disappointing night

795
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: for Florida. And congratulations to Kentucky again, let's bookend it

796
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: with the Cats. But boy, that's disappointing. All right, Let's

797
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: dive into like one, two, three, a bunch more games.

798
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna go rapid fire here, but there's a lot

799
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: to talk about. It was a very eventful Saturday yesterday.

800
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: Texas beat TCU thirty two to twenty seven. These wins

801
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,720
Speaker 1: are so beneficial for a program when you're building one.

802
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: I know folks saw them hang seventy on Texas Tech,

803
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: and a lot of folks looked at this four and

804
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: a half five and a half point spread. Texas is

805
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: only favored by what if you're close to this rivalry.

806
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 1: If you've been around this game, you knew there was

807
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: no alternate universe where Texas was about to blow TCU out.

808
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: That's just not the way this game works. And so

809
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: that line fulled a lot of you. We stayed away

810
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: from it because you know, I went to our folks

811
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: at Horse twenty four to seven. I looked at their

812
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: score predictions. None of them. I don't think any of

813
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 1: them had to blow out, and they're as close to

814
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 1: the team as anyone. That was the expectation level when

815
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: you can win a game like this, when you don't

816
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: come out clean, when you got blood stains and mud

817
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 1: stains all over and your clothes are ripped, and you

818
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: know your lip is split open, but you gotta win. Boy,

819
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 1: you feel good. You don't look great, you feel like

820
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 1: you're a little worse for wear, But boy, afterwards, there

821
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: is a level of satisfaction when you're just laying there spent,

822
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 1: and you got to win at a place where it's

823
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 1: been very hard for you to win. That means a

824
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 1: little something extra and something you can draw on. You

825
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 1: don't draw and blowout wins down the road. You draw

826
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 1: on these knife fight kinds of wins. It was not

827
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 1: a huge day through the air. Texas was twelve of

828
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: twenty two for one hundred and forty two yards passing.

829
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 1: But let me tell you what they do have. They

830
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 1: probably got one of, if not the best players in

831
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 1: the country in the backfield because bees Aren Robinson carried

832
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: it thirty five times for two hundred and sixteen yards yesterday.

833
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 1: That is also Derrick Henry type work six point two

834
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: yards per carry, two touchdowns. They play Oklahoma Saturday. Oklahoma

835
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,280
Speaker 1: has opened as a three and a half point favorite

836
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,359
Speaker 1: in the Red Rivers shootout. We will be on the

837
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: field for that game. Speaking of the Sooners, Oklahoma a

838
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: thirty seven to thirty one win over Kansas State. We

839
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 1: had the Wildcats plus ten and a half, so I'm

840
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: a huge fan of kick returns for touchdowns. Obviously, what

841
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 1: a swerve we had here, big time swerve. Skylett Thompson.

842
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: We bet Kansas State thinking he wasn't gonna play. So

843
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,720
Speaker 1: imagine our pleasant surprise when not only does the starting

844
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: quarterback actually start, what if you do Coliny went twenty

845
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,800
Speaker 1: nine to forty one for three hundred and twenty yards

846
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. Listen to this. Now you may look at

847
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: it and say, oh, Oklahoma only won by six. No, friend,

848
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: this was a big win for them because this has

849
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: been a place it's been a nightmare for them as well.

850
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,919
Speaker 1: Oklahoma got out gained, They had ten penalties for eighty

851
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,760
Speaker 1: five yards. Kansas State was four of five on fourth down.

852
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 1: All that happened, and yet Oklahoma still won. It feels

853
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 1: good to get those kinds of wins. Those are program builders,

854
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:23,240
Speaker 1: those are season builders. And now, like I just said,

855
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: Oklahoma goes into the Red River Shootout shouldn't be known

856
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: by any other name. They are favored by three and

857
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 1: a half. UH Texas A and M. H Texas A

858
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: and M was in the biggest ambush spot of the weekend.

859
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 1: We talked about this briefly on Thursday, talked about it

860
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,399
Speaker 1: a little bit more on radio in Texas. No one

861
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 1: was looking at this game. They were favored by seven.

862
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: The line never moved all week and Texas A and M.

863
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: They fall to Mississippi State. I said in the preseason,

864
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,359
Speaker 1: I thought Georgia was a really good litmus test for

865
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 1: Texas A and M. Those were programs in operable positions.

866
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:05,760
Speaker 1: They both have multi year staffs, sky high expectation levels.

867
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: They are both really really stopped in recruiting. It was

868
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: fair I thought to compare the two. Well, they're both

869
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,919
Speaker 1: on their backup quarterback right now. One as I said,

870
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: body bag to top ten team yesterday with very very

871
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: little effort. I don't only think Georgia broke a sweat

872
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 1: and then you got Texas A and M dropping back

873
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,839
Speaker 1: to back games. Program feels like it's just splintered. At

874
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,239
Speaker 1: the very least the season is. I won't speak on

875
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: the program, but it's really a redefiner. You know, we

876
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,760
Speaker 1: at CBS we circle a game. I'm not in the meeting,

877
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:38,399
Speaker 1: believe it or not, but we circle a game every

878
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 1: year as the prime time standalone eight o'clock kickoff game.

879
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:44,879
Speaker 1: And they made the same decision I would have if

880
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,439
Speaker 1: I were in the meeting. Back in the preseason, they said,

881
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: Bama going to college station absolutely will take it. WHOA,

882
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: We're not even going. I'm not even going to the

883
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: game Saturday. And if you would have told me in

884
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: the preseason I will choose not to be at Bama

885
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 1: A and M I would have thought you were crazy.

886
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: But yet here we are two lost A and M

887
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 1: A seventeen point dog at home. I don't think that

888
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: the number is big enough. By the way, against Alabama.

889
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:12,879
Speaker 1: I listen, good for Mississippi State because right now, here's

890
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: where Mike Leach and company are. They got a bye week,

891
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: then they got Bama. But after Bama they got six games.

892
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 1: They'll have a shot in all six. They're not going

893
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: to be favorites in them, but they got a shot

894
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 1: the remainder of the way. So congratulations there. Because I

895
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: know a lot. This was off with a lot of radars,

896
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 1: and by the end of the day everyone was watching him.

897
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: Michigan just skull drug Wisconsin thirty eight to seventeen. Hey,

898
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:37,240
Speaker 1: I'm quitting Wisconsin. You can write that down. That's official.

899
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: That's for me. I'm on the record. I quit Wisconsin.

900
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: They have burned me twice in the last two weeks.

901
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 1: I keep thinking there's going to come a day where

902
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: they don't lose the turnover battle, and dare I say

903
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: even maybe win the turnover battle. It's just not gonna happen.

904
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: This is Wisconsin football. They turn the ball over and

905
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 1: they underachieve. They are a three loss team. Now they

906
00:42:57,800 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 1: are one to three. But I'll tell you what Michigan is.

907
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 1: They're undefeated and here we are. They got an identity

908
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: about themselves. But they don't just have to run the

909
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 1: ball to win, because yesterday they ran it and they

910
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 1: largely failed. They ran it forty four times for one

911
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 1: hundred and twelve yards. That's a bad day on the ground.

912
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 1: That is two point five yards per carry. But they

913
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 1: won comfortably anyway because Cad McNamara had to throw the

914
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 1: ball a little bit yesterday and Michigan had to throw

915
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,320
Speaker 1: the ball a little bit yesterday. And a funny thing happened.

916
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: When you commit to throwing the ball against Wisconsin, your

917
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: receivers get open because Wisconsin does not have a great secondary.

918
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 1: And mcnamer was eighteen of thirty two fifty three through

919
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 1: the air through three touchdowns, a little over eight yards

920
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 1: per completion. Good day for Michigan. It's been quite a

921
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 1: while since they won in Madison, so good day for Michigan.

922
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 1: Michigan is on the road again this week, and they

923
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: are a three point favorite against Nebraska. And that is

924
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 1: Las Vegas telling you, here you go, and it's got

925
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: a it's got a little ring toy on the end.

926
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 1: They're just shaking it in front of you. Here you

927
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 1: go up by the way. Congratulations to that offensive line

928
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 1: from Michigan. A really good day. Yesterday, Tennessee made very

929
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 1: easy work, in fact, suspiciously easy work of Missouri. The

930
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 1: Valls win sixty two to twenty four. These teams ran

931
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: just about the same amount of plays. That's where the

932
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 1: similarities ended, because Tennessee outgained Missouri six hundred and seventy

933
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: seven to three ninety six. That's not on the metric system.

934
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,439
Speaker 1: Those are real life what I call English numbers, six

935
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,360
Speaker 1: seventy seven to three ninety six. You want a padlock stat,

936
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 1: first padlock stat of the show. Tennessee ran for four

937
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty two yards. That's the padlock stat. That

938
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 1: is about half a mile according to our calculations. They

939
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 1: ran it fifty eight times for four hundred and fifty

940
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 1: two That is seven point eight yards per carry. That

941
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 1: is violence, that's all that is. Eli Drinkwitz very demoralized

942
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:53,399
Speaker 1: as anyone would be if they had a mud hole

943
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 1: that big stomped in them and then walked dry. Shout

944
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 1: out stone called Steve Austin. Missouri is not a very

945
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: good football team, but that doesn't take away from what

946
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 1: Tennessee accomplished yesterday. Now we start to look at Tennessee

947
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:09,840
Speaker 1: and in fact, I want to do something here. So Tennessee,

948
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: they're off your radar. I know they are stallin so

949
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 1: I can pull up my home at grid schedule. So

950
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 1: Tennessee so far this year, they are in week five,

951
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 1: So they're about to play South Carolina this Saturday, and

952
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 1: then they're gonna play Old Miss and then they go

953
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,720
Speaker 1: to Alabama. Then they're gonna have a bye week. Forget

954
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 1: about the Alabama game. But these next two weeks for Tennessee,

955
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 1: South Carolina very winnable, Ole Miss winnable. All of a sudden,

956
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 1: we could be living in a world where Tennessee is

957
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 1: not an afterthought and Tennessee's being taken serious in year

958
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,959
Speaker 1: one under Josh Hypel, And imagine what kind of world

959
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 1: that could be. Oregon lost yesterday. I wanted to touch

960
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 1: on this just a second because it kind of validates

961
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 1: something that we said about three weeks ago. Oregon, in

962
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: order to fulfill whatever their max potential is. We've believed

963
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:01,280
Speaker 1: this for a while. Something will have to happen at quarterback.

964
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown's not good enough to get them ultimately where

965
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:08,320
Speaker 1: they can go. Here's the problem. I'm not ever at practice,

966
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:12,240
Speaker 1: so I don't know where their other quarterbacks are. So normally,

967
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 1: ninety nine times out of one hundred, the starter is

968
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,360
Speaker 1: starting because he's the best and he gives you the

969
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 1: best chance to win. I'm not even telling you that's

970
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,479
Speaker 1: not the case here. It could be that Anthony Brown

971
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 1: does give them the best chance to win. I'm just

972
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 1: telling you. If that's the case, Oregon's gonna have a

973
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: lot of wasted potential this year. There are a lot

974
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 1: of facets of this team that have immensely high potential

975
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: quarterbacks not one of them right now. Yesterday they lost

976
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: by the way in overtime, thirty one to twenty four

977
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: to Stanford. They failed. Anthony Brown failed to throw for

978
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 1: two hundred yards for the third time this year. I

979
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:45,839
Speaker 1: was reading our friends over on Duck Territory right about this.

980
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 1: They were kind as they could be, but it's not

981
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,399
Speaker 1: a kind picture right now. They're entering a bye week

982
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 1: or the Oregon Ducks. There are some critical decisions to make,

983
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:55,879
Speaker 1: because if there's going to be a change, then it'll

984
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,359
Speaker 1: happen this week. I'm really interested to see how Mario

985
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:01,919
Speaker 1: Christobaul and Joe moorehead staff go about this, because they

986
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 1: know that's what's frustrating for them. They know better than

987
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 1: we do what kind of potential they have. Can't realize

988
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: it with that inefficient level of production at quarterback, can't

989
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 1: realize it. All right, I want to wrap it up

990
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 1: with our first best bet of the week, and that

991
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 1: is as follows, the ram Noudle Express is going to

992
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 1: add Memphis plus four and a half. They are on

993
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:26,760
Speaker 1: the road. I think it's an eight o'clock Eastern time kickoff,

994
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:29,880
Speaker 1: not tip off. We're not delving into hoops yet. Memphis

995
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:32,399
Speaker 1: plus four and a half, you see, that's the only

996
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 1: one we're handing out tonight. So that means it is

997
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: extra important to be following on Twitter and Instagram this

998
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 1: week at late Kick Josh because these normally, including this

999
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 1: when come out on those platforms before I release them

1000
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 1: on the show for time sensitive purposes. Is there anything

1001
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 1: else I haven't gotten to It's been a really good week. Listen.

1002
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 1: I have never been to the Red Rivers shootout, and

1003
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:55,840
Speaker 1: I gotta be real with you. Let me explain my reasoning.

1004
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 1: A lot of you wanted us to go to the

1005
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,359
Speaker 1: Iowa Penn State game. There's a reason we're not going there.

1006
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 1: It's not because of disrespect. I've already been to an

1007
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 1: Iowa game this year. I've already been to a Penn

1008
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:10,279
Speaker 1: State game this year. Chances are I'm gonna see Penn

1009
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 1: State again at least one more time down the road,

1010
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: maybe Iowa too. I have not seen Ou or Texas

1011
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 1: this year. It is a lot harder to get out

1012
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 1: to these Big twelve games because it is rare that

1013
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 1: a Big twelve matchup is among the biggest in the country.

1014
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 1: Oklahoma is a big time program, Texas is a big

1015
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 1: time program. But look at the relative lack of premier

1016
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 1: matchups you have in the Big twelve. So you got

1017
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 1: to get out there when you can get out there. Also,

1018
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 1: it's a rivalry game that counts, And selfishly, it is

1019
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,359
Speaker 1: a noon game, so I can get back same night.

1020
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:43,280
Speaker 1: That always helps too. But I'm excited for that one,

1021
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:46,359
Speaker 1: and I love funnel Cake. Sue me. So we're gonna

1022
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 1: be at the Red River shootout Saturday. I dare anyone

1023
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:50,439
Speaker 1: to try and make me pronounce it any other way.

1024
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 1: So thank you, but thank you so much for making

1025
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 1: that possible. I know we're gonna see a lot of

1026
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 1: you Saturday in Dallas. I saw a lot of you yesterday.

1027
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 1: I took a bunch of pictures. I'm always open to

1028
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 1: taking them, So thank you guys so much. Tag and
