1
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: I promise you you don't have to care about what

2
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 1: other people think about you. You don't have to care

3
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: what other people say about you. I am not talking

4
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 1: to you, my lovely audience. I'm actually talking to certain

5
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: head coaches out there. We will discuss tonight. We are

6
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: jam packed high top, a gloomy, a gray, but somewhat clearing,

7
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 1: downtown Nashville, Tennessee. It's Tuesday, October seventeenth. Hear of Our Lord,

8
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three.

9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 2: Listen to this.

10
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: That was unimpressive. There's a stack of papers in front

11
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: of me. Though it's a jam packed show. We got

12
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: full week eight predictions, big games, consequential games, not just

13
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 1: the marquee, not just PennState, Ohio State, not just Tennessee Bama.

14
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: Do you have any idea how uncomfortable it's about to be, Nay,

15
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: how toxic it's about to be for the loser of

16
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: Clemson Miami. Someone's about to carry their third l of

17
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: the season. I got a JP pole tonight that will,

18
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: you know, essentially drive the rest of the show into

19
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: the ground.

20
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 2: It will be speaking of the T word, very toxic.

21
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: We've got a new number one, Arizona's in the top

22
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: twenty five, and we've got some teams that have beaten

23
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,919
Speaker 1: other teams that are still below the teams they've beaten.

24
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: And what more can you do? What more can you say?

25
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: I got to say some things about Debo swinny tonight.

26
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: I got to say some things about Shane Beemer tonight.

27
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 1: I've got added best bets tonight, and we are all

28
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: going to get it in in a reasonable amount of time.

29
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: They're watching us in Tallahassee, Florida, Seaside, California, Abilene, Texas, Canton, Ohio.

30
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: Are they watching us in Manhattan? Are they watching us

31
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: in NYC? Don't know, but we will be there tomorrow morning.

32
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: I'm doing Inside College Football tomorrow night. Don't worry because

33
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: we will be back here in Nashville in time for

34
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: the Thursday show. But if you are so inclined CBS

35
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: Sports Network tomorrow night, if you're catching that Sam Houston

36
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: State FIAU game, which if you're following the ram Noodle Express,

37
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: you should be. I'm told I'll be on the desk

38
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: at halftime, some halftime breakdown there. I'll try to maintain

39
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: professionalism there. So at late kick, Josh, if you want

40
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: some behind the scenes coverage on Instagram. I have no

41
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: more time to waste. Not that that was wasted time,

42
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: but man, we got so many paper poppers tonight.

43
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 2: Let's dive in.

44
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: I think the game of the week the game we're

45
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: going to be at Penn State at Ohio State Saturday

46
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: high noon, big noon kickoff there on Fox once Upon

47
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: a Saturday tour in the Horseshoe. We are making our

48
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: long anticipated return. Last time we were up there, it

49
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: was the Michigan game. It did not go well for

50
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: the home team. Let's see if it turns out any different.

51
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: What if I told you this is a playoff game?

52
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: What if I.

53
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: Told you not necessarily losers, hopes and dreams are dashed,

54
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: but they take a huge blow here because the more

55
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: it's setting up, the more it looks like it's going

56
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: to be really tough for the Big Ten East to

57
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: get two teams in the playoff. Some of us predicted

58
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: that would happen in the preseason. Knot's looking a little

59
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: tougher than it did at the outset, So I don't

60
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: even want to walk you down the whole tie breaker

61
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: doomsday scenario is a scenario where Penn State and Michigan

62
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: and Ohio State all beat each other around robinstyle.

63
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:05,839
Speaker 2: They're all eleven and one.

64
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: I had producer Jesse walked me through the tiebreaker today.

65
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: He got down to bullet points five or six, and

66
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: at that point I was already in my bottle of

67
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: tailand all, and I said, stop, We'll just cross that

68
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,839
Speaker 1: bridge when we get to it. I had someone telling

69
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: me earlier today as they knew I was going to

70
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: break this game down. Both head coaches are pretty much

71
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: sitting in the same boat. Both head coaches have about

72
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: the same thing to prove you're crazy, I told him,

73
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: And if anyone thinks that, you may not be a

74
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,119
Speaker 1: crazy person, but that is a crazy thought. Ryan Day

75
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: is thirty five and zero in Big Ten games, not

76
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: facing Michigan. James Franklin's four and fourteen versus Ohio State

77
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: and Michigan. These are not the same coaching profiles. Now,

78
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: I got to mention respect for both guys, but make

79
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: no mistake.

80
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: About it, there's.

81
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: A ton of pressure in all of these games. There's

82
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: a lot more to prove on the side of James Franklin,

83
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: I think even than there is of Ryan Day. Now

84
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: you can come back at me and say, well, James

85
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: Franklin has built his program up from scratch, whereas Ryan

86
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: Day inherited what he's got in many cases from urban mark.

87
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: Okay, got no problem with that.

88
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: I'm just saying we've seen coaches inherent programs before and

89
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: then they went downhill because they.

90
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: Weren't the real deal. Ryan Day is the real deal.

91
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 1: Thirty five and zero in games not featuring Michigan, and

92
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: they're not interested in hearing that stat up there because

93
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: they say, you can't be discounting Michigan. That's the game

94
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: we care about the most in the country every year.

95
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: So ironically, as we look at these defenses and we

96
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: look at these ground games, ironically, I think this game

97
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: is about passing the football. I think it's by throwing

98
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: the football through the air. Penn State's offense is eightieth

99
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: in past yards per game. Not the end all, be

100
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: all metrics. Some of you don't care at all about

101
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: yards per game. I kind of don't. I was just

102
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: using that as an example to show you they haven't

103
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,239
Speaker 1: thrown the ball all over the yard. They're one hundred

104
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 1: and twenty ninth and explosive play rate this year. The

105
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: follow up, you don't need to yell at me from Harrisburg.

106
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: I know what you're saying. The follow up is, well,

107
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: we haven't had to, and that's true. Here, here's what

108
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: I'm asking you. If you're saying that to me right now,

109
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: If you're saying, well, we Penn State have not had

110
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: to throw the ball, my follow up is, are you

111
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: suggesting you do possess that ability? Are you suggesting you've

112
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: done the whole spring game approach of well, let's just

113
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: keep the offense vanilla. If you are, we'll find out Saturday,

114
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: won't we. Because if you're holding anything back, certainly this

115
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: is where you debut it.

116
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: Right.

117
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: I think to some small degree, there may be some

118
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: of that, but by and large that's just not how

119
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: they win football games, and it served them well so far.

120
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: Can you run the ball to win on Ohio State?

121
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: You know, some people me kind of included that feel

122
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: like maybe there's a different gear to the Penn State

123
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 1: ground game we haven't seen yet. Can you run it

124
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: to win, not just get in the red zone, not

125
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: just getting plus territory? Can you run it to win

126
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:43,119
Speaker 1: here Ohio State's ground game. And this kind of bleeds

127
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: back into why I think throwing the football is the

128
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: key here. Ohio State's ground game is not going to

129
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: magically find itself against Penn State. They've been decent this year,

130
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: and that's about it. They have not been dominant running

131
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: the ball. They're ninety fourth in rush yards per game.

132
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: There are injury concerns here. Three point seven yards per

133
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: carry right now against power five competition. That's not good

134
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: enough to take over a game on the ground. And

135
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: I don't think necessarily we're all of a sudden gonna

136
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: see it show up and see them figure things out

137
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: Saturday against Notre Dame and Maryland and Purdue. Though a

138
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: little ray of sunshine here for Penn State. Maybe Ohio

139
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: State did give up one seventy six, one oh six

140
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: and one to twenty three.

141
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 2: Some of those games.

142
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: Were were already out of hand, and so you make

143
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: of that what you will.

144
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 2: I got several just thoughts here.

145
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'll do two or three keys. This game's so big.

146
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: I had like nineteen thoughts on this, and I tried

147
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 1: to condense it as much as I could. But I

148
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: am telling you, I think it's about throwing the football

149
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:37,239
Speaker 1: to win this game.

150
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 2: No one's gonna do it.

151
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: To the tune of three hundred and seventy five yards

152
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: and four touchdowns, mind you, But explosive plays or conversely,

153
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: scrambling out of that pocket and just throw into a

154
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 1: tight end seven and a half yards down the field

155
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: to move the sticks and set you stuff up for

156
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: a fresh shout of downs. Those sorts of things are

157
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: gonna matter a lot.

158
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 2: Here.

159
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: The pressure profiles in this game favor Penn State. What

160
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: I mean by that is the ability you have shown

161
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: to get after the quarterback so far this year. The

162
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: ability or inability your offensive line has shown to protect

163
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Both of those profiles favor Penn State. Here's

164
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: where you see my handshaking a little bit. Here's where

165
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit hesitant. I believe in all that.

166
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: I believe it's true. Penn State's been absolutely that team.

167
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: Ohio State has been questionable at times. In fact, the

168
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: offensive line has been very questionable. But here's what I

169
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: wonder on the other side of that. I remember this

170
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: game last year. I remember who took it over. It

171
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: wasn't an offensive player, it was JTT and he took

172
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: it over in a big way. And Ohio State ends

173
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: up winning a game that it looks like they're done

174
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: for in Penn State had all the momentum, it feels good,

175
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: and one defensive player for Ohio State takes the game over. Okay,

176
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: so this is a classic case maybe of what has

177
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: been so far this year, which is what we have

178
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: on paper right now.

179
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 2: This is what has been. Is that what will be Saturday?

180
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 2: Or could you.

181
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: See them look at Olufushano at left tackle and say

182
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: not going after him. But Penn State on the right

183
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: side of their offensive line looks a little more susceptible.

184
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: Let's put to him Aloaio over there and let's just

185
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,239
Speaker 1: see what happens. And maybe he breaks a game open,

186
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: maybe he ends up with a scoop and score, maybe

187
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: he forces a couple of turnovers, and so it doesn't matter.

188
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: My point is, it doesn't matter what your pressure profiles

189
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: have said. If you just have a matchup that favors you,

190
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: you got to match up that favors you. And that's

191
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: the kind of player that can wreck a game. Is

192
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: he giving you the consistent book ind to bookend.

193
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 2: Performance this year? You hope for it. Maybe maybe not,

194
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 2: but he can take over a game like this.

195
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: Another thought I had was there are gonna be times

196
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: in this game where Kyle mccorr that Ohio State quarterbacks

197
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: just got to look down the barrel and not blink.

198
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,479
Speaker 1: He's gonna get lit up. It will happen. It absolutely

199
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: will happen. Just gotta make plays, not two dozen of them,

200
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: but you gotta make some plays here. They're not all

201
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: drop back, clean pocket, take two looks and throw that

202
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: ball fifty yards down the field. It's not always gonna

203
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: look like that. In fact, very often it won't look

204
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: like that. But he's gonna have to do it enough.

205
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: He's got the guys throw it to. I don't know

206
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:01,719
Speaker 1: if he's got the offensive line to give him a

207
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 1: ton of time. He'll have guys in his face. Can

208
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 1: you imagine Manny Diaz, the defensive coordinator for Penn State,

209
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: having all this time. They had a bye week, then

210
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: they had UMass last week, and so they've been dialing

211
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: things up for Ohio State for the better part of half.

212
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 2: A month now.

213
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: Plus let's be real, when we were up there, they

214
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: were working on it in the spring, So it's been

215
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: on the radar for a long time. I'm almost certain

216
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: defenses will decide the game now. I don't think that's

217
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: any bit of breaking news. I think most people who

218
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: have watched these teams play understand that's how Ohio State

219
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: played against a Notre Dame, and that's probably how both

220
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: of these teams will play in this game. Penna State

221
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: was minus four turnovers last year in this game, so

222
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: who forces him this year? There's no system out there

223
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 1: that's going to quantify that. I got a model right here.

224
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: It's as good as useless when I ask it. Who's

225
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,199
Speaker 1: going to win the turnover battle? That stuffs so randomized

226
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: week on week. Also, starting field position, Penn State's been

227
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: really really good near the top of the country. Ohio

228
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: State hasn't been quite as good. Does that play out

229
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: this Saturday?

230
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 2: A lot of.

231
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: Randomization over a four quarter game. I don't know how

232
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 1: you watch football most of the time. I think most

233
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: people follow the ball. I think most coaches try and

234
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 1: use their peripheral or they trans zoom out, or maybe

235
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: they'll just watch the secondary, or some of you just

236
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: focus on the line of scrimmage. There are different ways

237
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: to watch a game. A lot of times, if you

238
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: coached or played the position you played greatly determines how

239
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: you watch a game. I'd encourage you to do something

240
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: Saturday if you're one who typically follows the ball. Just

241
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: watch kaylen King when Penn State's on defense, Watch kaylen King,

242
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: Watch Johnny Dixon. Those are the two corners and just

243
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: let your eyes focus on them against this wide receiver

244
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: stable for Ohio State. They're gonna be scouts from almost

245
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: every NFL team there. Those dudes will be watching that.

246
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: That's what a lot of them are going to be

247
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: there for, because you got multiple guys both sides of

248
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: the ball that are going to be high round draft picks.

249
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 1: And they're not rookies. These are not true freshmen. We're

250
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: not talking about three or four years down the line.

251
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: They are very very well developed and it will be

252
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: worth the price of admission, which I'm told is very

253
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 1: very high.

254
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 2: But worth the.

255
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: Price of admission or worth your time if you're at

256
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: home to watch that. This is Drew Isler's third road start.

257
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: Heard Ryan Day earlier today imploring the fans there in

258
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: the Horseshoe to make it a hostile environment. Hey, I

259
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 1: was in Seattle last week, so that's a hostile environment.

260
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: This time last year, I was in Kneeland Stadium watching

261
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 1: Tennessee takedown Bama.

262
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 2: That was a hostile environment.

263
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: There's no reason why the Buckeyes should not have that

264
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: kind of edge at home against Penn State, because I

265
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 1: guarantee a Penn State gave the home team that edge

266
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: last year. It's just Ohio State's defense overcame it. What

267
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,719
Speaker 1: if Penn State's offense does have another gear? Just a

268
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: random thought here, What if there is a different gear.

269
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: What if all of a sudden, the numbers on this

270
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 1: sheet of paper in front of me they've reached by

271
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: the end of three quarters? You know, Penn State. I

272
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: saw our buddies' college football nerves. They made an interesting point,

273
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 1: and they were talking about yards per play. A lot

274
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: of the critical metrics you look at to determine how

275
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: good an offense is. Penn State is not through the

276
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: roof in those metrics, and they're still beaten teams handedly.

277
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: And so sometimes that means you've played inferior competition, But

278
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: other times that means you got a different gear. You

279
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: could kick it in or put another way. If you're

280
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: already this good when you're putting up you know, by

281
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: any discernible scale average to above average yards per play metrics,

282
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: what happens when you what happens when everything's in gear

283
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: one Saturday afternoon. You pull away and you blow someone out.

284
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: You do what you do what on the scoreboard. Mario

285
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: and Oregon did to Ohio State a couple of years

286
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 1: ago when they came in there.

287
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:39,719
Speaker 2: That's that game.

288
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: No one talks about that anymore, but that was like

289
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: a jaw dropping result where a road team out of

290
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: nowhere comes in as an underdog and wins going away

291
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: and ran the ball to do it in the process.

292
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 2: So it's not my prediction.

293
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: I'm just saying if that is there with Penn State,

294
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: will know Saturday, because this is the game it'll show

295
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 1: up in. Also, Marvin Harrison's side, I think would greatly

296
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: concern me. It concerned me last year he went for

297
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: ten and one hundred and eighty five against Penn State.

298
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: That against those corners, Like if we're talking about maybe

299
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: a specific matchup advantage, Marvin Harrison's got about what four

300
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: or five inches on the corner that he'll probably match

301
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 1: up against with Penn State. Now, sometimes that matters, sometimes

302
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: it doesn't. You get down into the red zone, you

303
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: get those fifty to fifty balls, you get back shoulder stuff.

304
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: A lot of times that's where that comes into play.

305
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 1: A lot more than your typical slant route over the middle.

306
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: I think obviously Ohio State and Penn State both aware

307
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: of that. But Kyle mccorr versus Manny Diaz is another

308
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: thing that just I can't get out of my head.

309
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about Ohio State on third down five plus

310
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: obvious passing downs. I'm thinking about what Manny Diaz, the

311
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator of Penn State, can potentially bait him into.

312
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: Because you got a couple of young quarterbacks here in

313
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: terms of starting experience. And that's why I keep going

314
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: back to turnovers, special teams play, but really turnovers, defensive scoring,

315
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff deciding this game is why it's

316
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: so hard to pick. It's hard to pick because nobody

317
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: predicts that. Stuff's hard enough to predict games as it is.

318
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: You don't have a model that predicts that you, just

319
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: like you don't have a model that said JTT was

320
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: going to do what he did in this game last year.

321
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: But having said that, Colin, let's take a look at

322
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: what the model does. Think the Vegas number right now

323
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: is Ohio State minus four and a half. We've got

324
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: Ohio State minus six and a half in the model,

325
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: so I went back and forth like four times today

326
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: Producer Jesse and this will shock you has a pretty

327
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: strong feel on this game. Producer Jesse walked in with

328
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: the what four pages of notes? Five pages of notes?

329
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: The overhit on terms of pages of notes for Jesse.

330
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 2: And he's on the Nitney Lions.

331
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: There was a time about three forty five or four

332
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: o'clock today I was Penn State, and then again in

333
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: the five o'clock hour, I went Penn State, but I

334
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: ended up landing on Ohio State. Pretty simple feeling here.

335
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: Went to the model because I don't have a strong feel.

336
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: I'm just happy to be there. I went to the model.

337
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: And if we've got a team power rated ahead of

338
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: another team and they have home field advantage, I'll go

339
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: with them. That's really the long and short of it.

340
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: There are many many paths I see for Penn State

341
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: winning this game. There are many maybe a couple more

342
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: for Ohio State winning this game. I'll take Ohio State

343
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: to win it. I guess I'll take them to cover.

344
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: I don't have any feel, no dimes, we'll be bet

345
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: out of my pocket on this game. Really looking forward

346
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: to this. This is what we've been waiting for this

347
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: right here in the big ten is what.

348
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 2: We've been waiting for. The shirt.

349
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: The shirt that we have for this game is already

350
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: sold a great deal. I think it will continue to

351
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: sell a great deal once upon a Saturday tour heading

352
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: to Columbus, Ohio at Ohio Stadium this Saturday. This is

353
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: available right now paidstatemterial dot com.

354
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 2: It's gone Saturday night.

355
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: We're done. It'll never be sold again. So I don't

356
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: know that we'll be back at Ohio State this year.

357
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: Maybe one stop only for us up there this year.

358
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: In fact, I'm fairly certain it will be. So if

359
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: you want to commemorate it there it is pay state

360
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: material dot comments right there on the front page right now.

361
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: Those always go really fast because we only sell them

362
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: for one week at a time.

363
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 2: Let's move on. We've got other big games to talk about.

364
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 2: Oh computer froze over here, Hold on just a second.

365
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 2: All right, we're back.

366
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: If you could do me the slightest favor, click the

367
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: thumbs up button, click the light button there.

368
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 2: If you're watching live, had a major slip up in

369
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 2: the show the other night. It's my fault. I take

370
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 2: full responsibility. I know.

371
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: I don't typically like to take any of the blame.

372
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna repeat what I said. If you

373
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: missed it, you missed it. But the chalice of choice

374
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: liquid over here was corrupted because I actually slipped up

375
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: and said the name of the product that's in this

376
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: glass and not happy about it. But we're live, so

377
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: we can't go back and edit it out. I'm gonna

378
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: take a sip from this chalice and if you know

379
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: at this point, I guess you know, but I would

380
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: encourage you to forget what you know. Theater of the

381
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: Mind is a lot better for.

382
00:16:58,240 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: Us Tennessee at Alabam.

383
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm a Saturday three thirty Eastern CBS Game of the Week,

384
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 1: third Saturday in October. You remember this time last year

385
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 1: when I was trying to teach the younger children amongst

386
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: us what the third Saturday in October once meant, and

387
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,239
Speaker 1: we had varying degrees of buy in on that. Some

388
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: people just said, now tendal seal suck forever. I don't

389
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: believe it. Well, then we went over to Knoxville and

390
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 1: Director Colin was there. I was there about seventy some

391
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 1: one thousand people ended up being right around us on

392
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: the field and before the sun came up, I had

393
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: participated in taking one of the goalposts out and tossing

394
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: it into the river, and hoops amongst us thought that

395
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,959
Speaker 1: I would ever be a part of that. Look at

396
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: the goalpost just sinking down into a sea of orange.

397
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 1: All that's missing is the Titanic music. And we couldn't

398
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: get in touch with Celine Dion in time today for licensing.

399
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: But man, you tell me you're going to see this

400
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: on Sunday. You tell me you're going to see some

401
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: random dude smoking a cigar surfing a goal post out

402
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: of a tunnel in Niland Stadium. My guess is no,

403
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: you won't find that on Sunday, but we sure did

404
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: last year. So anyway, I hope you enjoyed revisiting last year.

405
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: This year will be nothing like last year. I don't

406
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: think we can invert the profile of this game this

407
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: year to last year anymore. If we tried, fifty two

408
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: to forty nine was the final last year, no one's

409
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: scoring fifty two total in this game this year, In fact,

410
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: the totals down to forty eight and a half started

411
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: in the low fifties. I'd lean under even now, and

412
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: that's not a great value bet at this point. Bama,

413
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: I just don't think we'll do much in the run

414
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 1: game here. Why would I expect that. It's kind of

415
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: the same thing I said about Ohio State. They're not

416
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: gonna find their legs against Penn State. Well, why should

417
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: I think Alabama's all this. I'm going to figure out

418
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 1: how to run the ball more explosively against Tennessee. Tennessee's

419
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: got a really good defensive front, so they kind of

420
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: are what they are there. Alabama Cublic put it very

421
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: well the other day. They're a run, run to varying

422
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: degrees of six says sack, run for no game, seventy

423
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: yard bomb, pop play over the top.

424
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 2: That's their offense now, and.

425
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 1: It's worked because they've got thirty eight plays of twenty

426
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: plus yards. So that's how they're winning right now. It's

427
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: not ideal, but it's how they're winning. Jalen Milroe listen

428
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: to this, by the way, this is crazy. Jalen Milroe

429
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 1: on throws of twenty or more yards in the air

430
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: is a sixty one percent completion guy seven hundred and

431
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: thirty seven yards, nine touchdowns and no interceptions. All four

432
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: of his picks have come on balls that go less

433
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: than twenty yards in the air. I'm not talking about

434
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: yards after catch now, I'm talking about.

435
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 2: Throwing the football physically twenty yards or more in the air.

436
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 2: He's perfect.

437
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 1: He's perfect because if no one can if your guy

438
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: didn't catch it, no one's cashing it. Cluse, you can

439
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: throw the ball out of the stadium if he wants to.

440
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: I have real concerns, and this is going to shock you.

441
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: I have real concerns about Alabama's offensive line. Gasp, there're

442
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirtieth in sacks allowed. We could do

443
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: this show twenty more years, and my feel on Alabama's

444
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: offensive line this year will go down as one of

445
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: the most regrettable feels that I've had on any position unit.

446
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 2: It is what it is. It is what it is.

447
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go as far as to take the

448
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: blame for it. I'm just gonna say I got bad intel.

449
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: So in this case, either a coach, a kid, or

450
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: an official screws it up. Sounds like a coach screwed

451
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: it up here not my fault anyway. In this game,

452
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: Tennessee's defensive front's been nasty and it travels. I have

453
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: no doubt it will travel. They are fourth in sacks

454
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: per game. They got two dudes, I mean, Pierce and

455
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: barn are both top twenty individually in the country in sacks.

456
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: So Jalen Milroe's gonna get hit. Jalen Milroe's probably gonna

457
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 1: get sacked.

458
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 2: Now.

459
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: That's happened a lot this year, and they figured out

460
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: how to win games in spite of it. It's just

461
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: can you imagine. Can you imagine a lifelong Alabama fan

462
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: sitting at home in his or her recliner on a

463
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon, and they know the Alabama way, they know

464
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: protecting the quarterback, they know running the football, and they

465
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: know slowly just bleeding your opponent to death. And this

466
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 1: is what they're watching. Penalties all over the place, sacks

467
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 1: constantly behind the chains, can't run the ball to save

468
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: your life. Had twenty three total yards against A and

469
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: M still won the game though, finding ways to win

470
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 1: the game. I'm very interested on the other side to

471
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 1: see Tennessee's ground game here because I was ultra impressed

472
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: last week when they ran it like they did against

473
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: Texas A and M.

474
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 2: Texas A and M.

475
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: Like I just said, hell Bama to twenty three on

476
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: the ground, Tennessee had over two hundred and two hundred

477
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: and thirty. I think it was very impressive, and they

478
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 1: have to do it. They can't throw the football either.

479
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: Tennessee can't throw the football at any consistency. In case

480
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: you haven't seen Tennessee this year, I regret to inform

481
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: you it's not your MEM's Tennessee. They actually play defense

482
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: this year. They cannot throw the football in some cases

483
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 1: to save their life. And yet because they can run

484
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: the ball and play defense, they've been winning games too.

485
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 1: And that two hundred and thirty two the number on

486
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: the ground versus A and M. Last year I was

487
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,719
Speaker 1: at this game. Neeland Stadium was about as incredible as

488
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: any environment we've ever been in. Brand Any stadium gonna

489
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: feel like that Saturday. I've been at this game a

490
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: number of times at these venues. Those folks get up

491
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 1: for this game. You guys saw what a hostile road

492
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 1: environment did to your team last year.

493
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 2: Try and do it to them this year. What a novel.

494
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: Concept that would be. Let's take a look at what

495
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: the model thinks. Let's take a look at what Vegas thinks.

496
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: The number in the desert as of seven to twenty

497
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: two pm on Tuesday night is Alabama minus eight and

498
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: a half.

499
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 2: We agree completely.

500
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: The Pate State model has Bama minus eight. I think

501
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: points are going to be at a premium in this game,

502
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 1: so I am not laying over a touchdown. But I

503
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 1: do think Alabama will win the game. I just think

504
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: when I say Bama's going to win the game, it'll

505
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: feel a lot like that A and M game where

506
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: you find a way in a very very ugly rock fight,

507
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: back and forth kind of affair to win by a possession.

508
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 2: And so I think Alabama will win.

509
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: If I had to bet the game on the spread,

510
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: I would take Tennessee. I am not doing that thing

511
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: that I just said. I'm not betting on this game,

512
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: and so yeah, I guess survive in advance is the

513
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: name of the game here. If Tennessee wins this thing. Now,

514
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong in Tennessee wins it, take a look

515
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: at their schedule. They'd go to Kentucky next week, and

516
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: then their next they got at Kentucky and at Missouri

517
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: as their next two conference games. Then they'd get Georgia

518
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: in there. Hoops knows, Hoops knows. We'll find out a

519
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: lot this Saturday. I have in my hand some really

520
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 1: good news for you guys. You know, I just noticed

521
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: Colin keep this shot for a second. Two bits of

522
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 1: good news. The first bit of good news is, although

523
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: we're not going to break the game down tonight for

524
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 1: what are probably obvious reasons, it is Iowa Minnesota week,

525
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: It's Floyda of Rosedale Week. It's really really important week.

526
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: Dare I say a holiday week on this show? Because

527
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: that right there is the greatest trophy in sports, not

528
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: just college football. Stanley Cup takes a back seat to

529
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 1: Florida Rosdale. The Lombardi Trophy, all due respect, takes a

530
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: back seat to Florida Rosdale. Whatever that thing is we

531
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: have in lieu of the Crystal football now takes a

532
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,479
Speaker 1: back seat to Florida Rosdale.

533
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 2: We salute Floyd. But the other bit of.

534
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 1: Good news is I got a ten thousand dollars Academy

555
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 1: two and a half times. But real talk, I know

Speaker 1: What are we gonna have?

558
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 2: Lsu George, We're gonna Bama Tennessee Part two? How why

559
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 2: will that be?

560
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that it's possible mathematically maybe, but in

561

Speaker 2: All right, let's move on.

568
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: Oh I would I would just prefer not talk about this,

569
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 1: but we've got to.

570
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 2: We don't have to. It makes sense because a lot.

571
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: Of you were asking about it, and I serve you.

572
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: I live to serve, you know me. I live to serve.

573
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 2: Let me take a ship out of the chalice.

574
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: It's about Dabbo, and I got some stuff about Shane

575
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: biember tonight too. So the entire Palmeadow State is talking

576
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: and I've been listening, had my ears peeled. All right,

577
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: I've got a quote here, so you know how at

578
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year, I said, it's a really

579
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 1: big inflection point kind of season for Clemson and Dabbo,

580
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: and then they lost to Duke, and then I said,

581
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 1: this is really where the rubber is going to meet

582
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,959
Speaker 1: the road, because if they lose to Florida State, there

583
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: are folks who have been in his corner for a

584
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: long time who are not gonna sound like they're in

585
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 1: his corner anymore. And they lost to Florida State. They

586
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: played a really good game, they may have outplayed Florida State,

587
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: but they lost, and now they're a two loss team.

588
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 1: And I at the time took a lot of questions

589
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 1: about what I thought was wrong with Clemson, and I said, well,

590
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 1: nothing's like it's not catastrophically wrong, but there are things

591
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,640
Speaker 1: that I think could use tweaking or overhauling. And I said,

592
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: even though I can't prove that what I'm focused on

593
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 1: has lost them games, I do think their portal approach

594
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: needs work, like.

595
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 2: I think they need to use it. Now.

596
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: Some Clemson fans have come back and said, what you're

597
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: forgetting is we didn't have any roster space. I'm going

598
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: to put this as diplomatically as possible. There are ways

599
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 1: to create roster space in college football. Now, it's dirty

600
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 1: and no one wants to talk about it, but there

601
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: are ways to make roster space in college football. And

602
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to leave it at that. Daboswiney has chosen

603
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: not to go down that road, and I've had all

604
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: the respect in the world for it. Like I've said,

605
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit here and fish on the

606
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 1: table and say Dabo's wrong.

607
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 2: He is an idiot. I don't do any of that.

608
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 1: His way has worked, all right, Will his way continue

609
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 1: to work? Has been the question I've had, and I've

610
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: had some doubts about it. So anyway, now that Clumbs

611
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: has lost a couple of games, Dabo was I believe

612
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: on his coaches Show, Jesse.

613
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 2: This is from his Coaches Show. Yeah, he was on

614
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 2: his radio show.

615
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 1: On Tuesday and he said, quote, we're at a point

616
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: where if you don't go undefeated, you are losers. You're terrible,

617
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: and that is such a terrible mindset. Honestly, maybe we

618
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: need to lose a few games and lighten up the bandwagon.

619
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: Sometimes the bandwagon can get a little too full. Now,

620
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: as you can imagine, people who already don't like daboswiney

621
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: Z wote in on this and said, there he goes,

622
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: Paul Simon just slipped sliding away, fading into the abyss. Well,

623
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: I'll say this one. No one thinks like that. No

624
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: one thinks if you go undefeated, or if you don't

625
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: go undefeated, you're a loser. The fringe two percent think that,

626
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: and we called fringe two percent for a reason. So

627
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: outside of that, all right, there is a general truth

628
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: to what he's saying, and the general truth is Dabos

629
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: Sweeny's suffering from the consequences of his own success. We

630
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: use the phrase consequence of success on the show all

631
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: the time because there's this very, very flawed logic out

632
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: there that once you start winning, things get a lot easier,

633
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: once you get up to cruising altitude, things get a

634
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: lot easier. That's not true. It's never been true. Nick

635
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: Saban proved that it wasn't true. Kirby's proven it's not true.

636
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: Dabo's proven it's not true. When you win, some things

637
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: get easier, but then they are offset by a whole

638
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: new basket of problems and challenges you have that only

639
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: present themselves once you win. No one ever complained about

640
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: going ten and to it Clemson before, but now they do.

641
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 2: Well, why is that? Because you want a couple of championships,

642
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,719
Speaker 2: that's why. And all of a sudden you set a

643
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 2: new standard. They didn't. You set a new standard, and

644
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 2: you ought to become amended for it.

645
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: But you also you gotta understand, now, yeah, there's gonna

646
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: be some heat, would you rather revert back to the

647
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: old way.

648
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 2: That's where he.

649
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: Does not mean what he just said. Yeah, he didn't

650
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: need to lose a few games. There's no way I

651
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: understand he's speaking out of emotion.

652
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 2: I get all. You don't need to tell me that.

653
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: And I do also understand he's in the fox hole.

654
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: He's in the fight. The people who criticize him are not.

655
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: And there is a certain level of that that even

656
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: if people happen to be making the right points, you know,

657
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: there's no possible way they have all the information at

658
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: their disposal needed to understand the full context of the situation. Again,

659
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: I side with coaches a vast majority of the time

660
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: on this stuff. Here's what I'm gonna say. Quit listening,

661
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: just stop listening to people who criticize you.

662
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 2: You cannot be this stint skin, this deep into your career.

663
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 2: You just can't.

664
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: If they criticize you, they criticize you like your check's

665
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: gonna cash every two weeks.

666
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 2: You'll be fine. No one's sneaking in the facility at

667
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 2: night and taking away those trophies. You're gonna be fine.

668
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 2: But the question to me.

669
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: Is is there going to be any change, Like does

670
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: Dabos when he think philosophically, any change is needed.

671
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 2: And this is where I've had a pretty strong opinion.

672
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 2: I think the answer is no.

673
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: And every bit of his action since the season started,

674
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: and every time he opens his mouth and he starts

675
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: to talk about it, everything he says kind of reinforces

676
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: my point.

677
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 2: He doesn't see it the way you do. He doesn't

678
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 2: see it the way I do.

679
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: I don't think he looks and says there's a whole

680
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: lot of change needed around here, because I believe Dabos

681
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: when he thinks the way he's done it is still

682
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: the way that works. They just may be slightly dipping

683
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: right now, but they'll get back there. And you know what,

684
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: maybe he's right, but maybe he's wrong. And I think

685
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: there's also a pride element here that that may have

686
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: blinded him a little bit, and no one's immune to that.

687
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: Like you can talk and I can sit here and

688
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,239
Speaker 1: tell you all I want to, Oh, Dabo's got an

689
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: edge on me talking about X's and no, Dabbo knows

690
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: how to build an organization a lot better than me,

691
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: and he does, and he does, but that doesn't make

692
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: him immune to this stuff. It doesn't make him immune

693
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: to pride getting in the way. And once you start

694
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,719
Speaker 1: getting criticized by outsiders, sometimes you can get rooted in

695
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: your way of thinking and then there can be all

696
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: kinds of counterinformation and counter logic that flies in the

697
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: face of it. But at that point you're too prideful

698
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: to come off your stance. I think he's too prideful

699
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: to come off a stance on things like the portal,

700
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: and it's going to cost him.

701
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 2: It's going to continue to cost him.

702
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: I respect the value system, I respect the principles he's

703
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: built that program on. I'm just telling you it would

704
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: be very, very misguided to think the formula to win

705
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,719
Speaker 1: in this sport is always written in pen It's not.

706
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: It's written in pencil, and it's ever changing. And the

707
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: fact of the matter is the right way or the

708
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: most effective way to do things in twenty fifteen may

709
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: not be the most effective way to do things in

710
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, and there's no might to that. I'm

711
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: absolutely telling you the truth. I'm absolutely telling you your

712
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: biggest rival in the ACC right now just put their

713
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: team together in a manner that couldn't have been done

714
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen. And they just came into your house

715
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago and beat you. What's your response

716
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: is gonna be because they're not gonna stop, nor is

717
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 1: the rest of the sport. They're not gonna stop using

718
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: that transfer portal. If you're not going to use it,

719
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: more power to you. It is go to be a

720
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: solid program and to take a long time to fully

721
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: unravel what Clemson's built there, But they're not going to

722
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,719
Speaker 1: be a championship contender anymore doing it that way. I

723
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: just I don't believe that you can voluntarily handcuff one

724
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 1: hand behind your back in terms of ignoring a talent

725
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: acquisition apparatus that is available to you and watch your

726
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: opponents use it and you still keep up with them.

727
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: It's unrealistic.

728
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 2: It's not gonna happen.

729
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,719
Speaker 1: So the Dabbo comments don't They don't surprise me. They

730
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: don't surprise me because I think he's really dug in

731
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: on this and I don't think much is gonna change.

732
00:33:58,400 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 2: That's where we are.

733
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: I did want to hit on this. We're going to

734
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: get back to game predictions in the second. The brock

735
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: Bauers stuff. A lot of you asked me about this,

736
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: and so I'll talk to you about it for just

737
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: a second. So if you missed it, Colin, here's your

738
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: better endpoint for you. If you missed it. Brock Bauers

739
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 1: is going to be out for a while for Georgia,

740
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 1: having the tightrope surgery on the ankle, and we don't

741
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 1: know when he's going to be back, Maybe towards the

742
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 1: end of the regular season, maybe not at all in

743
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 1: the regular season. I would bet against the regular season.

744
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 2: Personally.

745
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: There are some folks out there who don't think he'll

746
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 1: play college football again.

747
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 2: So anyway, it's.

748
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: Going to be very very iffy if they get him back. Well,

749
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: the question is what Georgia going to look like without him.

750
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: They would have lost the Auburn game without him.

751
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 2: I'll tell you that. That doesn't tell me anything moving forward.

752
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 1: But they got Florida coming up in two weeks and

753
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 1: they've still got to play who they still got to play, Colin.

754
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 2: I know they got Georgia Tech at the end of

755
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 2: the year.

756
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: They still got to play at Tennessee later, they got

757
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: Old miss coming town, they got Missouri, They've you've got

758
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: I'm telling you they got four teams right now. They're

759
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: the top twenty five caliber teams lined up in a row.

760
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 1: I think Florida at this point is a top twenty

761
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,280
Speaker 1: five caliber team. And you lost your best football player.

762
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 1: You may have lost the country's best football player. So

763
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 1: it's a very young team. They've been beat up all year.

764
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: They just hadn't lost the star power the likes of

765
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 1: brock Bauers.

766
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 2: Boy Carson Beck's.

767
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: About to have to shine. That defense is about to

768
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 1: have to shine. It's a very imperfect team. But imperfection

769
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: at Georgia is kind of a first world problem because

770
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: it's still a really good team. They're gonna have to

771
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 1: play complementary. There is not a superstar that you can

772
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 1: look at to just take things over here. They are

773
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: loaded in their tight end room. Raw talent in their

774
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: tight end room is not a problem. The complete package

775
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: that brock Bauers gives you you do not have with

776
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: Oscar Dealt. You don't have that with Loss and Lucky

777
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 1: and those two even Lucky even the freshmen would start

778
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: at ninety five percent of programs in college football right now.

779
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 2: They're that good.

780
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: But I think anyone who has watched brock Bower understands

781
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,919
Speaker 1: you don't have another one of those in the tight

782
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: end room. I said the same thing after the Auburn game.

783
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: I'll say again, you got to look around that receiver's

784
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: room and you got to get someone to step up. Man,

785
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,760
Speaker 1: Like I'm watching, Bowers have to take over that Auburn

786
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 1: game because no one else does. You got to look

787
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 1: around that running back room. You gotta have folks step up.

788
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: You got to put on film of what Georgia football

789
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: has looked like in their vintage moments when they've won

790
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,280
Speaker 1: titles the past two years, and you got to show them,

791
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 1: dudes like this, we still got the talent here. You

792
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: just got to step up and play like that. That

793
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: offensive line. You're trying to get a Marius Mems back

794
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: right now. Maybe you get him back for the Florida game. Look,

795
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: I know that from a fans perspective, whether you're a

796
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: Georgia fan or not, this kind of it just sucks

797
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: because you.

798
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 2: Hate to see the best players go down.

799
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 1: You hate see any player go down, but you hate

800
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: to see the best players go down because you're always

801
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 1: left wondering in your mind what would have happened? If

802
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: Georgia fans hate to hear Bama fans say what would

803
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,280
Speaker 1: have happened? If Jamison Williams was healthy for the National

804
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: title game in twenty twenty one. It's a valid it's

805
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: a valid thought. It's irrelevant because injuries are a part

806
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 1: of the game. But that's my whole point. I would

807
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: rather there not be major injuries and we just see

808
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: the games play out perfectly clean. Everyone's healthy. I also

809
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: believe in unicorns. And so two weeks less than two

810
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: weeks now Jacksonville, Florida, you got Florida versus Georgia, and

811
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: then they got two or three more opponents Old miss Missouri, Tennessee.

812
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: They got two or three more They can lose every

813
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 1: one of those games. Every one of those games is losable,

814
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: make no mistake about it. They'll be favored in every

815
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: one of them. But there is no one in that

816
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 1: four game stretch that's not capable of biting Georgia. Because

817
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: if the Auburn Tigers take them to the wire, I

818
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:43,839
Speaker 1: can promise you, on their best days, those teams can

819
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: take them to the wire, especially if Georgia is b

820
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: minus or less on that particular Saturday.

821
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:51,800
Speaker 2: And then the question, and I don't.

822
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: Know the answer to it, is will you get them back? Now,

823
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: that's an elite phenomenal athlete. They heal differently, They've.

824
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 2: They've got different equipment.

825
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 1: At Georgia, I without sharing state secrets, because I am

826
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:06,720
Speaker 1: from that state.

827
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 2: I was up there last year.

828
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: I've toured Georgia's medical facility. I've seen what they have

829
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: in there, and I'm not saying that there are two

830
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: or three steps ahead of NASA. I do think there

831
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: are at least one step ahead of NASA. Some stuff

832
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 1: the likes of which you wouldn't believe unbelievable. I wanted

833
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,399
Speaker 1: to play around with it, but for some reason, there

834
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: was not time for that on my tour that day.

835
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: Texas is pretty out of this world too.

836
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 2: Fascinating stuff.

837
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: I can't even you got seven or eight syllable words

838
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: for what those machines are called.

839
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 2: Rock bowers. I'm gonna have to utilize every bit of it.

840
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: All right, let's get back to predicting games. There's a

841
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: game in front of me right now, and this one

842
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: has major consequence. Look at the page, just dripping off

843
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: the page. Clemson at Miami, Saturday, eight o'clock. This thing's

844
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: on AC network, and the reason is because there are

845
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 1: four combined losses here and I have it on good authority.

846
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 2: Someone's got to lose their.

847
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: Third game Saturday night, believe it or not, And it's

848
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: gonna take a stretch for you to believe this. But

849
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: believe it or not, I think both teams are in

850
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: a good spot in this particular game. Clemson's in a

851
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: good spot because they've done nothing but win since the

852
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: Florida State game and they're off a bye. Dabo said

853
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 1: they're as healthy as he thinks they've been all year.

854
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 2: So there's that.

855
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: Miami is what we would call double doo up. In

856
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 1: other words, we don't believe that you just keep having

857
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: turnover misfortune forever. Eventually there comes a game where you

858
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,720
Speaker 1: get it right or maybe you're even imagine this plus

859
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 1: one or plus two in turnovers, and your outcome radically

860
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 1: shifts based on that. Well, the logic for a long

861
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 1: time that's been pretty sound is the more bad turnover

862
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: games you stack on top of each other percentage wise,

863
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 1: the more likely you are to springboard into a good

864
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: one eventually. And we're gonna say eventually is this week.

865
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,720
Speaker 1: So I think wounded animal mode, to say the least,

866
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 1: is what you've to find Miami in right now. But

867
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: now comes the very, very unfortunate task I have of

868
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: informing you that Miami has not won an acc home

869
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: game under Mario Christball Paper pop stat number one, paper

870
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: pop Stat number two. Miami's last home win against Clemson

871
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: was nineteen fifty six. That was the year Morocco gained independence.

872
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: That was the year the Philadelphia Warriors beat the Fort

873
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 1: Wayne Pistons for the NBA title. And that was the

874
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 1: year and the Hoops could forget this one. That was

875
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: the year whipper Billy Watson beat Luths for the NWA

876
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: World Heavyweight Championship.

877
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 2: Great match. Luths Press was probably broken.

878
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: Out at some point, so it's been a while in

879
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 1: the words of staying in the early two thousands.

880
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 2: But what does all that mean?

881
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: Well, it just means that Clemson's one hundred and thirteenth

882
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: in explosive plays, and if you can limit that and

883
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: not turn the ball over, you got a good shot

884
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,399
Speaker 1: to win the game. So that's what all those stats mean.

885
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:04,879
Speaker 1: Mima always told me stats are good at predicting the past.

886
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 2: Predict the future.

887
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: Joshua, don't look in the rearview mirror, live in the windshield.

888
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:12,800
Speaker 1: So let's live in the windshield. One hundred and third

889
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 1: in turnover margin. That's Miami this year terrible. There's been

890
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: given the ball away. You want a ball, here's the ball.

891
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: You want a ball, there's a ball. They are one

892
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty fourth in penalties this year. Very undisciplined team.

893
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 1: Now I would say that that's a death sentence, but

894
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: Bama's right down there and they're still in the thick

895
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: of the National Championship conversation. So it's not the death

896
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: sentence that it seems like. But I just wonder, can

897
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: you give me a clean game? Can you play mistake

898
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 1: not not mistake free, but can you limit them?

899
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:43,800
Speaker 2: Can you force them? Maybe you force.

900
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 1: Clemson to make some mistakes. You've got the number one

901
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: offense in the ACC versus the number one defense in

902
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 1: the ACC. In terms of yards per game. I know

903
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: everybody who watched that North Carolina offense the other night

904
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: would tell you I'll take that offense over anyone. Yeah,

905
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 1: I would too, speaking strictly in terms of yards per game.

906
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: And the advanced crowd always loves when I talk yards

907
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: per game. It's about to be really bad for the

908
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 1: loser here, really bad. Think get through with me for

909
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 1: a second. If Miami loses this third straight loss, third

910
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 1: straight conference loss. Still haven't beaten Clemson at home since

911
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: nineteen fifty six, Still don't have a home conference win

912
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: under Morio, and it'd be really bad, really quickly.

913
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 2: It already is.

914
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: They need to salvage a season down there. If Clemson loses,

915
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 1: that's a third conference loss for them too. And we're

916
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 1: still a couple of weeks away from Halloween. What are

917
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: we saying about Clemson? I know what I'd be saying.

918
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: What are you saying about Clemson?

919
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 2: What are they? What is Dabbos Swinny.

920
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 1: Saying about his own program at that point? My advice,

921
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 1: if anyone up there and Clemson is listening, is don't

922
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 1: let this game come down to a field goal.

923
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 2: Four of ten this year.

924
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think I need to tell you that,

925
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: because you remember how those games have come out in

926
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 1: the past. We've got a situation here, We've got a

927
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 1: wrong team, favorite situation. You remember how this turned out

928
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: the last time we said that, chaos Monday through Friday

929
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: and then we look like geniuses on Saturday. So Colin,

930
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: let's see what the model thinks. The Vegas number right

931
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: now is Clemson minus four. We think the wrong team's favored.

932
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:17,879
Speaker 1: We think Miami minus one is the right number.

933
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 2: It's just been.

934
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 1: Horrifically skewed because of very poor turnover luck the past

935
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 1: two weeks. Not luck, it's undisciplined, like they've given.

936
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 2: The ball away.

937
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna roll some dice here. We're gonna say the

938
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 1: turnover monster does not completely devour Miami like an unstoppable

939
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 1: rebel force this week. I hope I've been vivid enough

940
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: and we're going to not only take Miami to cover,

941
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna take them to win the game outright now.

942
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,919
Speaker 1: Either way, it's gonna be a topic on the Sunday Show,

943
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 1: because either way, it's just gonna be grossly toxic around

944
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 1: the losing program.

945
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 2: Here. That's the beauty and terror of college football.

946
00:43:56,560 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 1: So you may think I'm crazy riding with Miami's That's okay,

947
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 1: that's okay. I what I don't want to do is

948
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: be on him one week, got the bad turnover, look,

949
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 1: so then I'm off of them the next week, and

950
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: then the turnover thing flips, and then they win, and

951
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, You're like.

952
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 2: Why can't I get a read on Miami?

953
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: I think I know the quality of team they have,

954
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:18,359
Speaker 1: they have to play that quality of game.

955
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.

956
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 1: Let's take a brief detour again from talking about, you know,

957
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 1: real football games, to talk about another coach with the

958
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 1: antenna list a little bit too high, with the volume

959
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:35,839
Speaker 1: turn up just a little bit too much.

960
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 2: We have time for a sip, Jesse, Yeah, we got

961
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 2: time for a sip. Why do I have to do this?

962
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: I should not have. This should not fall on me,

963
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:52,839
Speaker 1: but it does. Harley hit me up and said, why

964
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 1: haven't you talked about Shane Beemer whining so much after

965
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 1: losing to Tennessee and now he's laughing about breaking his foot.

966
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 2: Both of these things happen.

967
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 1: I regret to inform you there was a tinge of

968
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: windiness from Shane after losing the Tennessee game. Now he

969
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: has since addressed that, so I'm not talking about anything

970
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 1: he hasn't talked about. And yes, he did confirm today

971
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:18,919
Speaker 1: that he kicked something he shouldn't have in his words,

972
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: and broke his foot.

973
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 2: But you don't need to take my word for it.

974
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 1: I have had director Colin cleverly splice these two things together.

975
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 1: First the whining, then the admission of the foot breakage

976
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 1: roll it, Colin.

977
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 3: I saw the main problem, David. We call pressures and

978
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 3: we don't run them. We play man coverage and didn't

979
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 3: do a great job of keeping leverage. I mean just

980
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 3: in the first half alone, we ran a pressure where

981
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 3: the corner came and for some reason he stopped and

982
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 3: we gave up an explosive pass because we didn't continue

983
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 3: to run the pressure. After the game, I broke my

984
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 3: foot on Saturday, so I'd rather just get it out

985
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 3: there and say it and not have you all speculating.

986
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 3: And then after the game on Saturday in Missouri, you

987
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 3: ask I called coach Tanner, told him make sure he

988
00:45:59,920 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 3: was okay with it, and he died laughing when I

989
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 3: told him so. Obviously there's not a lot of empathy

990
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 3: from him.

991
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 2: It was.

992
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 3: After the game, and certainly that was a gut wrenching

993
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 3: emotional loss, and I was frustrated and kicked something that

994
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 3: I shouldn't have kicked and thought I was okay. But

995
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 3: journaling of the game wore off, and before anybody starts

996
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 3: the narrative like the head football coach is frustrated and

997
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 3: lost his poise and all that, No I care and

998
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 3: I care about these kids, and I was really upset

999
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 3: on Saturday night because I didn't do it enough to

1000
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:40,319
Speaker 3: help them get over the hump and win the football game.

1001
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 3: So I don't think I have to have surgery. But

1002
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 3: there is a broken bone in my foot. It hurts

1003
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 3: like you know what, but you know I've got to

1004
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 3: show toughness and fight through it.

1005
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, the talk is he seems a little bit too

1006
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:56,320
Speaker 1: chipper for a guy who just lost a football game.

1007
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 2: Our coach seems like a clown right now.

1008
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 1: This is what I have been in an with in

1009
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: the inbox. Truthfully, I wasn't gonna address this tonight, but

1010
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: Harley was not the only one who asked about this.

1011
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:10,719
Speaker 1: So here's what the Less Miles era taught me, and

1012
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:12,800
Speaker 1: me maw had already taught me this. The Less Miles

1013
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 1: era reinforced that if you got unique personality traits, the

1014
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: same personality traits that get you praised when you win

1015
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:23,359
Speaker 1: get you roasted when you lose. So nothing changes about

1016
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 1: your personality. It's just your idio secrecies either get you

1017
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 1: propped up or get you beat down. It's all dictated

1018
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: on outcome on the field. It's never been about anything

1019
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 1: other than that. You can be the greatest guy in

1020
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 1: the world. If you lose, they're canning you. You can

1021
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:40,400
Speaker 1: be a complete jerk. If you win, they're building statues

1022
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 1: of you. So your personality really doesn't matter. Here's what

1023
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:49,800
Speaker 1: does matter. I don't care that. Why haven't I commented

1024
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 1: because I don't care. I don't care if he winds

1025
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 1: in postgame press conferences. I know what it's born out of.

1026
00:47:56,440 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: He's very passionate about his program. The difference in the

1027
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:03,279
Speaker 1: way in an ideal world that I would have Shane

1028
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 1: Biemer run his program versus the way he does is

1029
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 1: I just think he cares what people say about him

1030
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 1: too much. And I know folks like that. I am

1031
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:15,479
Speaker 1: very blessed to not think that way. I don't care.

1032
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 1: I have fun with it, but otherwise I don't care

1033
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,839
Speaker 1: about it. Make what other people think about you none

1034
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 1: of your business. It is golden advice I got a

1035
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 1: long time ago. Fortunately I've applied it. I don't care.

1036
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: Say whatever you want to say. Leave Jesse and Colin

1037
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 1: out of it. You can trash Bradley, but say whatever

1038
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 1: you want to say about me. That's how I wish

1039
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:37,839
Speaker 1: Shaneiemer would go about it. It's very obvious he hears

1040
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff that's said about him, and I

1041
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 1: know it gets under your skin. Same thing I said

1042
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,879
Speaker 1: about Dabbo. Some of the fools talking trash about you

1043
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:47,880
Speaker 1: could not talk themselves intellectually out of a wet paper

1044
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 1: bag when it comes to football. You'd run circles around him.

1045
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:52,440
Speaker 2: You know it. They don't know it because they're idiots.

1046
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: But in some cases, maybe there's accurate criticism they're levying

1047
00:48:56,560 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 1: against you, whether it's right or wrong. If you care

1048
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 1: that much what fans think, you will end up sitting

1049
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 1: with them. It is an age old adage for a reason.

1050
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 2: It's true.

1051
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 1: You gotta tune it out. You just got to tune

1052
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 1: it out now. As for the broken foot prayers up,

1053
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:20,759
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily know what to say about this. He

1054
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:22,879
Speaker 1: did seem a little happy about it. There was there

1055
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: was a little smile on the face.

1056
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know.

1057
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 1: I know what a lot of you think about it,

1058
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 1: because I'm looking at my phone even as I'm doing this,

1059
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 1: I'm looking at my phone and I.

1060
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 2: Got I gotta.

1061
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:41,359
Speaker 1: I got a head coach texting me about this right now.

1062
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 1: I am not sharing the identity, Nor am I sharing

1063
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 1: the body of the text, but it was it was

1064
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:50,759
Speaker 1: not exactly pro game cap.

1065
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:53,800
Speaker 2: Let me just put it that way, and it wasn't debo. Uh.

1066
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 1: They are way better to me than they were before

1067
00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 1: he got there.

1068
00:49:58,080 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 2: That's what I care about.

1069
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:01,760
Speaker 1: This year's not gonna be good in the record column,

1070
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 1: and when lost column is not gonna be good. Progress

1071
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 1: isn't always linear. So he said that the other day,

1072
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 1: we're way better than we were before I got here.

1073
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 1: He did, I'm paraphrasing he said a version of that.

1074
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:15,319
Speaker 1: I think he's right. That's what I care about. Don't

1075
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: care about what he sounds like postgame. I would prefer

1076
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 1: he not break his foot. But even having said that,

1077
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 1: guys have coached under more stringent physical ailments before, Hugh

1078
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 1: Freeze once coached from a hospital, bed up up in

1079
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:31,240
Speaker 1: the press box, thumbs up to go for it, thumbs

1080
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:33,239
Speaker 1: down not to go for it, as shamee Beamer. I

1081
00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 1: don't know if he's using the handicap parking up there,

1082
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 1: but I guarantee you he'll still be on the sidelines

1083
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 1: on Saturday. So speedy recovery, but all seriousness, they're they're okay.

1084
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 2: They're not gonna have a good record this year.

1085
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 1: Like I said, the dips, like the ebbs and flows

1086
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 1: in football, are eternal. Every program has them. It's just

1087
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:55,239
Speaker 1: that when you're in the top five program, when you

1088
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:58,799
Speaker 1: get when you really get the engine revved, there's a

1089
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 1: pretty high floor, like you can be so insanely talented.

1090
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 1: Kirby's got Georgia right now at a place where even

1091
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 1: in their down year, it would be nine to three.

1092
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 1: That is not South Carolina right now. So if they

1093
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:13,799
Speaker 1: have a down year, which they're having, they could miss

1094
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 1: a bowl game. It doesn't mean it's the end of

1095
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 1: the world. It does if you do it three years

1096
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 1: in a row, but I don't think that's the case there.

1097
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 1: I also think press conferences aren't football, yet we spend

1098
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:28,759
Speaker 1: a vast majority of our time talking about what coaches say.

1099
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 2: This is why, at its core, I don't.

1100
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:34,320
Speaker 1: Get jacked up about SEC media Days. I have never

1101
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 1: done a biggest winners and Losers of Media Days segment.

1102
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 1: There are no winners and losers. I would argue there

1103
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:46,240
Speaker 1: are losers, but it's mainly the nope. I'm not saying

1104
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:49,080
Speaker 1: that some of those folks are my friends and I'm

1105
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 1: not gonna say that, but by and large, I don't

1106
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 1: care what said at press conferences.

1107
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 2: I just I don't.

1108
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:58,359
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a fatal flaw of mine, but I really don't.

1109
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:02,840
Speaker 1: They're watching us in Murphysboro, Tennessee. Yanked in South Dakota

1110
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 1: is tuned in.

1111
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:04,400
Speaker 2: Good people in yankedon.

1112
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: They're watching us in Seattle, Washington. There is a city

1113
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:09,799
Speaker 1: in Japan I won't even try to pronounce, but they're watching.

1114
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 2: Us there as well. We've got a big game out West.

1115
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,760
Speaker 1: I've also got the Jpephole coming up momentarily, and best bets,

1116
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 1: we've got a big game in the coliseum Saturday, Utah

1117
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,359
Speaker 1: at USC. This is an eight o'clock Eastern time kick

1118
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:26,799
Speaker 1: on Fox Total desperation spot for USC. Total desperation Now,

1119
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 1: on one hand, got two hands here. On one hand,

1120
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:34,000
Speaker 1: they're still undefeated in conference play. On the other hand,

1121
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:36,480
Speaker 1: they have several tough conference games coming up, and they

1122
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:40,719
Speaker 1: just got housed by Notre Dame, so you would think

1123
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 1: this is a bounce back spot. History would indicate that

1124
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: minus five turnovers last week, they had another two turnovers

1125
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 1: on downs. They're back home and wounded. Animal mode. You

1126
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 1: know how much we love that spot. It's a revenge

1127
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 1: moment because they lost to Utah on the PAC twelve

1128
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 1: championship game last year. We'll know early what kind of

1129
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 1: game this is going to be. Will know early because

1130
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 1: the first quarter is all important. In this game, USC

1131
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:07,719
Speaker 1: can play catch up. I don't know that Utah cam

1132
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 1: and so if USC jumps out to an early lead

1133
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 1: like they did in the PAC twelve title game, but

1134
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 1: Kayleb Williams stays healthy, I don't think Utah's coming back.

1135
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 1: They don't have Cam rising. I know because he's in

1136
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 1: this other room right now. It is Producer Jesse. They're

1137
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 1: one and the same, and Producer Jesse does not look

1138
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 1: how he's ready to start for Utah Saturday. So if

1139
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 1: you get out to an early lead, think USC is

1140
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:29,400
Speaker 1: going to have a good night. And it's not the

1141
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:30,800
Speaker 1: end of the world if they don't get out to

1142
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 1: an early lead. But the problem is USC's eighty eighth

1143
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: in run defense. If they don't start scoring early and

1144
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 1: force Utah to throw the ball to stay in the game,

1145
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:42,480
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you look down and you say,

1146
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:43,840
Speaker 1: what is that I feel on my ankles?

1147
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 2: What is that on my shins? What is that on

1148
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 2: my knees.

1149
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 1: It's quicksand, and you stepped into it again against Utah.

1150
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:52,240
Speaker 1: So don't let it happen to yourself. Don't let yourself

1151
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:55,319
Speaker 1: do that. Get out to an early lead. This is

1152
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:57,880
Speaker 1: my advice. If Lincoln Riley has not thought of this

1153
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 1: already scoring early.

1154
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 2: Try it. Try it. It works, Try it.

1155
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 1: Utah is ninth and turnover margin USC seventy fifth. Notice

1156
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:09,320
Speaker 1: how that little stat changed in a hurry. USC was

1157
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:12,880
Speaker 1: running away with turnover margin last year. They were plus

1158
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:14,239
Speaker 1: double digits by this time.

1159
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:15,879
Speaker 2: I think not this year.

1160
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 1: And as I said in the preseason, this team could

1161
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 1: stay the exact same.

1162
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:21,400
Speaker 2: If you just flip.

1163
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:24,319
Speaker 1: Turnover margin, everything changes. It could be the difference in

1164
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 1: three or four games. Well you see what it looks like,

1165
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:30,600
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, your minus five and turnovers against

1166
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:32,879
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. Notre Dame doesn't even have to have three

1167
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 1: hundred yards offense against you to hang nearly half one hundred.

1168
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 2: I believe Caleb Williams will bounce back in this game.

1169
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 2: I truly believe that.

1170
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 1: But I also believe it takes more than Caleb Williams.

1171
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 1: USC's offensive line has been bad. They have gotten him

1172
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 1: assaulted they have given up ten sacks the last two games.

1173
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 1: Utah is top ten in sacks this year. They cannot

1174
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 1: all just rely on Caleb Williams. It can't be like

1175
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: Bama a couple of years ago. Remember when they had

1176
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,799
Speaker 1: Bryce Young and it seemed like that whole team Just

1177
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:02,400
Speaker 1: look to Bryce Young to make a play. Feels like

1178
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:04,319
Speaker 1: what us he does right now. Just look at Caleb

1179
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 1: Williams to bail me out. No, man, you got a

1180
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 1: scholarship to play at Southern Calcoluse.

1181
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:08,960
Speaker 2: You're pretty good too.

1182
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:10,879
Speaker 1: Why don't you shoulder a little bit of the weight.

1183
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:13,799
Speaker 1: I'm talking to the offensive line. Well, give him a

1184
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 1: couple of seconds. Just watch what happens. Run the ball

1185
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 1: plus turnovers plus defense. If you allow Utah to do

1186
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 1: that against you, Quick Sam, it's not gonna be It's

1187
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:25,319
Speaker 1: not gonna be a pretty outcome for you. Utah needs

1188
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 1: to find big plays.

1189
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:26,399
Speaker 2: Though.

1190
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:29,640
Speaker 1: There are one hundred and twenty ninth in explosive plays.

1191
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:33,720
Speaker 1: USC is one hundred and twenty fifth in explosive plays allowed.

1192
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:38,719
Speaker 1: So if it's gonna happen, maybe it happens here for Utah.

1193
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:41,160
Speaker 1: Let's look at what the model thinks. Colin USC's minus

1194
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 1: six and a half on the Vegas board right now,

1195
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 1: and the model is dead on the money with Vegas

1196
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:50,280
Speaker 1: USC minus six and a half. I've got no confidence

1197
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:50,960
Speaker 1: whatsoever here.

1198
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:52,279
Speaker 2: I can see either style of game.

1199
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 1: I can literally see thirty eight seventeen USC or I

1200
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:58,040
Speaker 1: can see twenty one to twenty Utah have no feel

1201
00:55:58,080 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 1: for the game.

1202
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:02,040
Speaker 2: I am going to with USC to win.

1203
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 1: On principle, I'm gonna take Utah to cover, just because

1204
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 1: if I'm that close in my mind, I expect one

1205
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:13,240
Speaker 1: possession game. But really, there's so much variation in outcomes.

1206
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 1: If we played this twenty times, it would be stunning

1207
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 1: to see how wide the gap is in the most

1208
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:21,520
Speaker 1: extreme score one side versus the other side.

1209
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:22,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take USC.

1210
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 1: They have the third best odds to win the PAC

1211
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:26,880
Speaker 1: twelve right now, Utah has got the fifth best odds.

1212
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 2: Let's just see what happens next.

1213
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:33,919
Speaker 1: Up, it's that time. Put the women and children to bed.

1214
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:37,240
Speaker 1: Got the new JP pole in my hand. Here, community

1215
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 1: JP pole time is once again upon us. Not a

1216
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 1: ranking system. I don't know why I just shout into

1217
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 1: the wind and explain this, but I will once more.

1218
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:50,160
Speaker 1: This is just favorability on a neutral field has nothing

1219
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:52,319
Speaker 1: to do with the rankings. There's no merit involved here.

1220
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 1: It's just future facing. So we're not looking in the

1221
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 1: review mirror. We care about what would happen moving forward,

1222
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:03,440
Speaker 1: and power ratings are what they are. Let's take a

1223
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:05,680
Speaker 1: look at twenty five through twenty one.

1224
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 2: Guess who's back. Florida's back. The Florida Gators are rated again.

1225
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:11,280
Speaker 2: Welcome back, guys.

1226
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 1: They've got Georgia next. The University of Arizona is number

1227
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:19,720
Speaker 1: twenty four. I cannot believe I just said that sentenced.

1228
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 1: The University of Arizona under Jedfish is power rated in

1229
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:27,920
Speaker 1: the jpeople first time, I believe ever, and no one

1230
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 1: thought this would happen this year. They've got Oregon State, UCLA, Colorado, Utah,

1231
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:36,160
Speaker 1: and Arizona State left. Let's see what happens. Congrats already.

1232
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 1: I know the season's not over. They haven't accomplished anything

1233
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:42,680
Speaker 1: they have on this show. TCU, inexplicably is still in

1234
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:45,000
Speaker 1: the top twenty five. I don't know what the model sees.

1235
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I would absolutely pick Duke over

1236
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 1: TCU today, so this is sort of me versus the

1237
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 1: model thing. But I am not a tamperer. I am

1238
00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 1: not going to tamper with this. TCUs at twenty third,

1239
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:01,720
Speaker 1: Utah twenty two. Amy didn't really drop because your your

1240
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:05,320
Speaker 1: minus turnover performance is terrible, but it's just it's not

1241
00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 1: going to drop you a whole lot. The model thinks

1242
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 1: there's a lot of randomness in turnovers, which there are.

1243
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:11,960
Speaker 2: We go top.

1244
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 1: Twenty, who's twenty colin, Yeah, ole miss is twenty so

1245
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:21,479
Speaker 1: ole miss. UCLA US here sort of in the same

1246
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:25,080
Speaker 1: spots they were last week. USC didn't drop a whole

1247
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 1: lot because they were essentially minus seven in turnovers and

1248
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:33,000
Speaker 1: we didn't think highly of USC to begin with, so

1249
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 1: where everyone else plummeted USC, we kind of already had them,

1250
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:38,320
Speaker 1: So we feel pretty justified. Clemson still seventeen.

1251
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 2: A and M.

1252
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 1: I know you're going to struggle with that. They're sixteenth

1253
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:44,960
Speaker 1: even though they have three losses. It is about what

1254
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 1: point spreads would be tomorrow. A and M's losses are

1255
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:50,840
Speaker 1: to the number sixteen, number fourteen team, and number twenty

1256
00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:54,440
Speaker 1: one team. Two of those have been by one possession.

1257
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:58,120
Speaker 1: It's just that they're not a terrible team, and talent

1258
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 1: is baked into this and an ultra talented team that's

1259
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:04,600
Speaker 1: had a couple of close losses to top twenty five competitions.

1260
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:06,240
Speaker 1: Not going to plummet out of this thing. It's not

1261
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:10,040
Speaker 1: the ap This is not what this is. What else

1262
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:10,520
Speaker 1: is notable?

1263
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:12,640
Speaker 2: There not really anything. Let's move on Colin.

1264
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 1: Top fifteen, Oregon State unchanged, Tennessee pretty much the same

1265
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 1: as they were last week.

1266
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:19,439
Speaker 2: Notre Dame as well.

1267
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 1: Now the model is still really high on LSU is

1268
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:26,400
Speaker 1: It's the reason I keep talking about LSU the way

1269
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:28,919
Speaker 1: I do. The model keeps screaming, don't give up on them,

1270
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 1: don't give up on them. Played probably their best game

1271
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 1: of the year against Auburn. They got army this week,

1272
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:36,880
Speaker 1: and then I think a bye and then they play Alabama.

1273
00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 2: Let's see what happens. North Carolina's eleven.

1274
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 1: We already had North Carolina really high, so there was

1275
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 1: no reason to change them. They won big, but it

1276
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 1: was a lot of plus turnovers, so model takes that

1277
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 1: into account.

1278
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:50,280
Speaker 2: Top ten time.

1279
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 1: I thought it was really interesting that Bill Connolly put

1280
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 1: his full numbers out this morning because it helped to

1281
00:59:57,920 --> 01:00:00,680
Speaker 1: reinforce something I've been saying. So people see US put

1282
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:04,560
Speaker 1: FSU at number ten and they think it's some anti

1283
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:09,120
Speaker 1: FSU bias sort of thing, like I don't care one

1284
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:11,360
Speaker 1: way or the other. I would much prefer FSU to

1285
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:13,600
Speaker 1: win because it's good for the show. If you want

1286
01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:18,320
Speaker 1: my honest thoughts. My whole point in pointing out Connolly's

1287
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 1: ratings this morning is he has him number eleven. It's

1288
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 1: not just an outlier rogue model opinion that FSU is

1289
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:30,160
Speaker 1: not a top five team power rating wise. If I

1290
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 1: were an AP voter, I'd have them up there. I

1291
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:36,840
Speaker 1: would absolutely rank FSU above Alabama. Power ratings wise, the

1292
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:39,080
Speaker 1: model would favor Alabama if they played them tomorrow.

1293
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:40,440
Speaker 2: That's all that's about.

1294
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 1: Penn State is nine, Oklahoma is at eight, Washington. Washington

1295
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:50,680
Speaker 1: bumped up one point, but because of fluctuation around them,

1296
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:53,800
Speaker 1: they stayed at number seven. Bama's at number six. Not

1297
01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 1: a lot changed ten through six last week. Top five,

1298
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:01,920
Speaker 1: and let's once again address something. Oregon I think dropped

1299
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 1: a spot.

1300
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:03,479
Speaker 2: We draw.

1301
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 1: So Oregon Washington both increased their power rating. Oregon increased

1302
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 1: a quarter of a point, Washington increased a full point.

1303
01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:14,720
Speaker 1: So both of them went up from last week. Oregon

1304
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:18,840
Speaker 1: is still ahead of Washington. You know what I'm saying,

1305
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 1: you know what that means neutral field model would slightly

1306
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:26,200
Speaker 1: lean Oregon tomorrow, not by much, like fractions, not by much.

1307
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:29,280
Speaker 1: Texas is still ahead of Oklahoma. Let me go back

1308
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:32,560
Speaker 1: to Connley. Not that either of these is the end

1309
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:34,360
Speaker 1: all be all, but I mean Bill Connley is as

1310
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:37,560
Speaker 1: respected as it gets in this profession at doing the

1311
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:40,720
Speaker 1: whole math and numbers and power ratings thing. He's got

1312
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:44,480
Speaker 1: Texas above Oklahoma doesn't mean you negate the result a

1313
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:46,760
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, nor does it mean Texas will

1314
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 1: beat him if they play in the Big twelve championship game.

1315
01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:50,800
Speaker 1: It just means if they played the game today, Texas

1316
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:54,880
Speaker 1: would be favored, and some people kind of gear their

1317
01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:59,360
Speaker 1: models towards that. So Michigan's number one is the big

1318
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:02,160
Speaker 1: takeaway here new number one. It's the first time Michigan's

1319
01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 1: been number one. Not only that, there is a one

1320
01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:08,400
Speaker 1: and a half point gap between Michigan and the field,

1321
01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:11,600
Speaker 1: And just out of curiosity, I went back to last

1322
01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:14,400
Speaker 1: year around this time, and I always love to look

1323
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:17,160
Speaker 1: at the ten point gap. So if I subtract ten

1324
01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:19,800
Speaker 1: points off of the number one team, how far do

1325
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:22,480
Speaker 1: I have to go down before I find a team

1326
01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:25,440
Speaker 1: they'd be favored by ten points over you got to

1327
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 1: go all the way down to number fourteen right now.

1328
01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:30,960
Speaker 1: The ten point gap gets us all away from Michigan

1329
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 1: to Tennessee. Last year, it was like the top six

1330
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:35,640
Speaker 1: teams and that was it. So there was a very

1331
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 1: very clear Tier one and then there was a huge

1332
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:39,400
Speaker 1: drop off.

1333
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:42,680
Speaker 2: We don't necessarily have that right now, which.

1334
01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:46,600
Speaker 1: Means October's already been crazy about to be insane. When

1335
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:48,280
Speaker 1: a bunch of these teams play each other, November is

1336
01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:51,160
Speaker 1: going to be out of this world insane. Like I said,

1337
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:53,960
Speaker 1: Oregon gained a quarter point, I think I said half

1338
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 1: point a quarter point and Washington gained a full point

1339
01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:00,800
Speaker 1: one point five point gap between Mission again and Georgia

1340
01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:03,200
Speaker 1: right now, So Michigan minus one and a half against

1341
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 1: Gegia if they played neutral field according to the model.

1342
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:08,479
Speaker 1: Let's talk about best bets and let's wrap this up.

1343
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:10,280
Speaker 2: We're already on two.

1344
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:12,760
Speaker 1: We already got on two the other night, Sam Houston

1345
01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:15,240
Speaker 1: State minus four and a half and we're on wake

1346
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:19,840
Speaker 1: Forest at a pick. Let's add two more Wisconsin. We're

1347
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:22,720
Speaker 1: jumping on the Badgers minus two and a half, and

1348
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:25,560
Speaker 1: we are also adding Miami told you. We think the

1349
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:27,640
Speaker 1: wrong team's favored in that game, We're gonna put our

1350
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:28,600
Speaker 1: money where our mouth is.

1351
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:29,480
Speaker 2: That's the best bet.

1352
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:33,680
Speaker 1: Miami plus four at home against Clemson Miami Wisconsin. Wait

1353
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 1: for Sam Houston State. Okay, I got to go to

1354
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:39,880
Speaker 1: bed because I have a flight in eleven hours to

1355
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:42,200
Speaker 1: New York and we're gonna be on Inside College Football

1356
01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:47,320
Speaker 1: tomorrow night. CBS Sports Network got pre posting halftime duties

1357
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:49,440
Speaker 1: in the Sam Houston State FIU game over there on

1358
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:51,360
Speaker 1: CBS Sports Network, So looking forward to that. And we'll

1359
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 1: be back here Thursday night. So our schedule is unchanged.

1360
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 1: It's just I'm extremely busy, and then we'll jet off

1361
01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:00,080
Speaker 1: to Columbus, Ohio on Friday.

1362
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:02,880
Speaker 2: Just your standard week, just your typical week.

1363
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:05,720
Speaker 1: Appreciate you guys for making it all possible for director Colin,

1364
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:06,479
Speaker 1: producer Jesse.

1365
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 2: I'm Josh Pate. Take care, have a great rest of

1366
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 2: your evening, and God bless
