1 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: These are treacherous times for two reasons. 2 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 2: Number one, the JP pole tonight, I'm just gonna tell 3 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 2: you one of the more controversial JP. 4 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:19,760 Speaker 1: Polls I've ever held in my hand immunity. 5 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 2: And number two, I feel suspiciously good about these games 6 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 2: that we're going to predict on the shows. I mean, 7 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 2: like really, really troublingly good, which could mean we got 8 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 2: genius time coming Sunday night or we've got complete and 9 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 2: utter implosion coming Sunday night. Either way, we'll have a 10 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 2: show here Sunday night. Well, we've got a show tonight. 11 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 2: It is Tuesday night, October fifteenth. There of Our Lord 12 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,839 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. We were jam packed high top a 13 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 2: really noisy downtown Nashville, Tennessee, and proudly brought to you 14 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 2: by Academy Sports and Outdoors. Like I said, really consequential 15 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 2: games this weekend. We got Georgia, Texas. We got bamat Tennessee. 16 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 2: You know, Miami Louisville has huge implications on it as well, 17 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 2: LSU and Arkansas does. Don't let them tell you other one. 18 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 2: I got a game featuring Tiger versus Tiger that I 19 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 2: feel very good about. Tiger's gonna win it. I don't know, 20 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 2: maybe not the one people expect. I don't even know 21 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 2: what people expect anymore. I've got some things to say 22 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 2: about Ryan Day on the show tonight. 23 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: I have got three added best bets on the show tonight. 24 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 2: It is jam packed as we could possibly be here 25 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 2: on this Tuesday night. They're watching us in Dana Point, California, 26 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 2: Winston Salem, North Carolina, Danville, Virginia, and Dunlap, Tennessee. A 27 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 2: reminder now that I feel safe that we've got it restocked. 28 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: The Peate State store is wide open. 29 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 2: Those chugg e t's have been predictably our bestseller, and 30 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 2: we're restocked with them. 31 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: We're good to go. 32 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 2: Peytstatematerial dot Com. I just shouted out every now and 33 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 2: then sparingly because I don't want to flood the site. 34 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 2: But peytstatematerial dot com is open for business. Okay, let's 35 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 2: dive into the show tonight. You know, Tuesday Night's prediction 36 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 2: night on the show. And I just ask this you. 37 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 2: Number one, make sure you subscribe if you haven't already. 38 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 2: And number two lock in and if you disagree with 39 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 2: any of the picks, that's fine, that is your constitutional right. 40 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 2: And hop in the comments and feel free, but don't 41 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 2: be doing what people did. Earlier this week, I said 42 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 2: Olson was the loudest stadium in the Big ten and 43 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 2: a bunch of folks disagreed with me, and I was like, 44 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 2: have you ever been there? 45 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: And they're like, well no, but you're still wrong, am I? 46 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: I'm the one who's been to all these places? Have you? 47 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 2: Then I had another guy, another guy popped in the 48 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 2: DMS today and said, you're one of those people who 49 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 2: thinks you have to have been there to comment on something. 50 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 2: And I've never felt more guilty in my life because guilty. 51 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 2: I absolutely do think you need to probably have been 52 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 2: somewhere in order to comment on it. So if you 53 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 2: disagree with that's probably not the show for you. And 54 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 2: I don't know how we just got on that, but 55 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 2: uh oh, what I was going to say is if 56 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 2: you disagree with the picks, that's great. Someone's got to 57 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 2: be right and someone's got to be wrong. Don't just 58 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 2: come in the comment section to say you're wrong. Tell 59 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 2: me why I'm wrong, tell me why you think you're right, 60 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 2: Give me the way you think it's going to go down. 61 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,519 Speaker 1: Okay, now that we've got that out, of the way. 62 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 2: Georgia at Texas Saturday, seven thirty Eastern six thirty local 63 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 2: time on ABC. It's one of the games of the 64 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 2: year in college football. And this is still rarefied air 65 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 2: for Texas. I think they're great. Most of you think 66 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,239 Speaker 2: they're great, some of you think they're just pretty good. 67 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 2: I think they're way up there, But you got to 68 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 2: understand this is still rarefied air for them. The quality 69 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,839 Speaker 2: of opponent this weekend will be nothing like they've seen 70 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 2: so far this year, including in. 71 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: The Michigan game. 72 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 2: We all know that, but also, do you realize an 73 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,519 Speaker 2: early paper popper of a stat here. Do you realize 74 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 2: Texas's last win over an AP top five team at 75 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 2: home was pre y two k It was nineteen ninety nine. 76 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 2: So a lot of things that have been a long 77 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 2: time coming could be erased this weekend. So there was 78 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 2: a mild concern I had in the preseason when I 79 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 2: looked at Texas' schedule, which was otherwise pretty workable, and 80 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 2: that was this two week stretch man. The schedule makers 81 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 2: are going to make them play OU and then Georgia 82 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 2: in the span of what seven or eight days. Well, 83 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 2: as it turns out, it doesn't matter because they just 84 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 2: kind of rolled over Oklahoma and the second half of 85 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 2: the game wasn't in doubt, so nothing really got expended 86 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 2: last week. Texas comes in here as full steam ahead 87 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 2: as they possibly can. And then on the other hand, Georgia, 88 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 2: while they've been hobbled a little bit. I don't mean 89 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 2: banged up and injured in some cases, yes, I just 90 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 2: mean relative to the normal version of themselves. Georgia's looked 91 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 2: a little hobbled, kind of a weird vibe from the 92 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 2: team this year, but Georgia is still one of those 93 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 2: teams with serious national title springboard potential. So every single 94 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 2: year someone hits their stride in late October, even after 95 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 2: Halloween early November, so maybe Georgia does this. So that's 96 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 2: how we set the stage for this game. This was 97 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 2: the script for Texas though, So to get to this point, 98 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 2: quinn Ewers is in year three, that's what we hope. 99 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 2: We hope we got him and we build him up 100 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 2: within the program and year three everything coalesces around him. 101 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 2: They're stacked on both lines of scrimmage to the point 102 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 2: where they lost those interior guys last year, and you 103 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 2: still can't really run on Texas all that much. They 104 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 2: lost two tailbacks in the preseason, and guys, they're still 105 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 2: running the ball. I think Jesse one of the fortieth 106 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 2: in the country, so they're still running the ball fairly 107 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 2: well too. They're big, they're physical, they're fast. They don't 108 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 2: sacrifice one of those to have the other two. They've 109 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 2: got six pass catchers with at least one forty yard 110 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 2: catch on the resume this year. They've got seven players 111 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 2: with a rush of over twenty yards on the resume 112 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 2: this year. So that presents a problem for obvious reasons, 113 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 2: and even the best defensive programs, even if they're not 114 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 2: putting up the best stats, even the best defensive programs, 115 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 2: they got to make a decision on Georgia. So I'm 116 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 2: going to talk about it as we get into it. 117 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 2: I've been able to count on two things with Georgia 118 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 2: for a long time, and I wonder if I can 119 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 2: count on them in this game. The first thing, at 120 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 2: least in recent Kirby Smart history, the first thing I've 121 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 2: come to be able to count on with Georgia is 122 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 2: I think they're going to have a dependable ground game. 123 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 2: That's what I've trained my mind to think based on 124 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 2: watching them last four years thirty sixth nineteenth, twenty first, 125 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 2: and here they are ninety second in the country in 126 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 2: rush yards per game this year. There's something I have 127 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 2: been able to depend on that thus far I haven't 128 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 2: really been able to depend on. They don't have one 129 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 2: hundred yard rusher in any game this season, and even 130 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 2: against Mississippi State. 131 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: Mississippi State is bad against the run. 132 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 2: Georgia attempted at twenty four times, didn't crack the one 133 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 2: hundred yard mark total total team effort against Mississippi State, 134 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 2: and Texas is really good against that anyway. I mean, 135 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 2: Vernon Broughton's been really really good for them this year too. 136 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,239 Speaker 2: So the first thing I've come to expect from Georgia, 137 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 2: and that is they can run the ball fairly well. 138 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 1: They haven't really done this year. 139 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 2: The second thing that I've come to depend on with 140 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 2: Georgia is they've been able to limit chunk plays through 141 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 2: the year. Historically under Kirby Smart they've been top twenty 142 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 2: five yards per play allowed last three years on that front, 143 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 2: they are sixty eighth right now. So there are two 144 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 2: really dependable facets of what has made Kirby Smart's Georgia 145 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 2: great that so far this year have been really, really 146 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 2: average by college football standards, not just Georgia standards. Having 147 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 2: said that this is a springboard team doesn't guarantee it's 148 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 2: gonna happen, but I guarantee you there are facets of 149 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 2: this team that are capable of being a whole lot 150 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 2: better than they have been, all right, And you've got 151 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 2: one of the best coaching staffs in the country in Athens, Georgia, 152 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 2: and you got this kind of game circle Like this 153 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 2: is the kind of stuff that on one hand you 154 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 2: could look at and say, oh, we've been this poor 155 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 2: in these areas and now we've got to play Texas. 156 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 2: Or you can look at it and say, you know what, Yeah, 157 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 2: we've been this poor in some of these areas. But 158 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 2: what better moment for it to turn around than Texas. 159 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 2: And quite honestly, there are a few teams who have 160 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 2: been flawed so far this year that should feel that 161 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 2: way in a big moment this weekend. 162 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: Georgia is just one of them. 163 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 2: However, because of that, and because I don't know if 164 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 2: I can count on those things, there is zero doubt 165 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 2: that if the dust settles on Saturday night and Georgia 166 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 2: has won this game. Carson Becks probably had the best 167 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 2: game of his season. He's played his a game, whatever 168 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 2: that means to you. Because Texas has got the number 169 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 2: two pass defense in the country. Okay, on paper stuff 170 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 2: right here, Carson Beck's in for a long night if 171 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 2: the game's played on this Texas has allowed one passing 172 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 2: touchdown this year. Here's the follow up. They have faced 173 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 2: four passing offenses in the one hundreds, so they haven't 174 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 2: faced a top thirty, top forty, probably top fifty quarterback 175 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 2: in the country. You'll face one of the best in 176 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 2: the game in Carson Beck. He'll face one of the 177 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 2: best defenses. He'll face the best defense he sees all 178 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 2: year in Texas Saturday Night. He's just got to have 179 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 2: the game of his season, and he's got to play 180 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 2: at an a level, not turn the ball over obviously, 181 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 2: be big on third down. Yards per attempt needs to 182 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 2: be high. So all that's got to happen, and it 183 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 2: can happen. Carson Beck can do that these games every 184 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 2: single season, you'll see something happen. You'll see a matchup happen. 185 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 2: Where elsewhere you thought the opposition had edges mild to 186 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 2: moderate edges, here here, here, and here. 187 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: But what happened. 188 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 2: What happened is that quarterback went off and he covered 189 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 2: up and he masked a lot of it because this 190 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 2: is football and that position's really valuable. So Carson Beck 191 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 2: has to do that. And number two, another thing that 192 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 2: is plagued Georgia so far. I know it sounds really 193 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 2: Georgia centric here, but these are the keys. Texas is set. 194 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,679 Speaker 2: I don't have as many questions about Texas. I got 195 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 2: questions about Georgia, namely, why can't you guys score early? 196 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 2: What is it about a fast start that Georgia is 197 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 2: so allergic to? They can flip the script totally if 198 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 2: they just start fast. It would be so weird, but 199 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 2: also a welcome change for Georgia fans to turn on 200 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 2: this game and oh we're up seven to nothing, Oh 201 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 2: we're up ten to three. 202 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: It hasn't happened. It's wild. 203 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 2: Producer Jesse and I pulled up the game logs for 204 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 2: Georgia today and just looking at what they've averaged in 205 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 2: first quarters versus second, third, and fourth quarters, it's wild. 206 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 2: So the other thing to think about here is quinn Ewers. 207 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 2: The other thing to think about is the Texas offense. 208 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 2: The thing that I think is probably one of the 209 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 2: most fun matchups of this season is just watching Steve 210 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 2: sarkisian A against Schumann and Kirby Smart because those are 211 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 2: two sides of a ball with five star coaching and 212 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 2: play calling and they go up against each other. You 213 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 2: don't get that very often, so I mean, if you 214 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 2: do get it, it's normally late in the postseason. We 215 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 2: happened to get it here in what week eight. Remember 216 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 2: last year Texas was good. Texas made the playoff. Last 217 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 2: year they got in the semi final and they played Washington, 218 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 2: and Washington did something to them that Georgia has to 219 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 2: do it. So the reason I mentioned a fast start, 220 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 2: Washington put them in a position where they did feel pressure. 221 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:35,439 Speaker 1: They had to keep up. 222 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 2: Pennix and Washington kept delivering blows through the air and 223 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 2: Texas had to keep up. And it's not that they 224 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 2: were incapable of it, although viewers had a less than 225 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 2: desirable game accuracy rise that night, but that is born 226 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 2: through the pressure of having to keep up. Can Georgia 227 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 2: put them in that kind of position offensively? Can Georgia 228 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 2: do that? And can they do it? Especially if the 229 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 2: ground game's not there, because you saw against Alabama when 230 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 2: Georgia had to play catch up they were able to 231 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 2: do it. But also in that game they end up 232 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 2: minus three turnovers, minus two or minus three turnovers, and 233 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 2: so obviously you can't afford that here. So that's one 234 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 2: thing to watch, and that's the great unknown, the whole 235 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 2: turnover variable always is. But there's another thing too. How 236 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 2: can I put this metaphorically? So against Texas, you've got 237 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 2: what I mean, you've got six pass catchers with at 238 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 2: least one catch of forty plus yards. You got seven guys, 239 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 2: like I said, who have had at least one twenty 240 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 2: yard rush. So it's basically like looking at a dam 241 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 2: with thirteen holes in it and you try and plug 242 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,839 Speaker 2: it with ten fingers. That doesn't work. What you can do, though, 243 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 2: what Georgia can do against Texas is try and divert 244 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 2: the water. 245 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 1: Period. 246 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 2: You know, you get to the quarterback or you affect 247 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 2: the quarterback, and all these weapons don't really matter nearly 248 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 2: as much. So the pressure rate has to get ramped up. 249 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 2: Getting to the quarterback has to get ramped up. Georgia 250 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 2: does not sack the quarterback at the very least, you 251 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 2: got to affect him. You got to get physical with 252 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 2: these guys in their routes. But also they're good at that, 253 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 2: and they're good at making contested catches. And you've got 254 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 2: some youth in your secondary that Alabama was able to 255 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 2: take advantage of. 256 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 1: You just gotta fight balls in the air. You just 257 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: gotta fight. 258 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,319 Speaker 2: Can they find a way to mess with quinn Ewers 259 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 2: is the bigger question to me. I don't think anyone's 260 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 2: going to really holistically match up with Texas's skill guys. 261 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 2: I think that also, there's another thing in play here. 262 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 2: It's going to sound disrespectful. That's why I brought Kirby 263 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 2: Smart along on the show tonight, so I'll let him 264 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 2: say it instead of me. 265 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: Colin. 266 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 2: I'm gonna have you tee up the Kirby Smart sound 267 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 2: and then I'll tell you what I have to say. 268 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 3: On the other side, they're the complete package on defense. 269 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 3: They're really consistent, like they's not like they don't give 270 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,319 Speaker 3: up explosives. They're really good in the red area. They 271 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 3: hard to run the ball on. I mean the consistency 272 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 3: you watch them play with. It reminds me of you know, 273 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 3: some of our better teams here, our best teams here. 274 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 3: I'm like, man, they're good on d they're good on oh, 275 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 3: they're good on special teams. 276 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: And they're playing at a high level. Yeah. 277 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 2: I think Texas is more Georgia than Georgia is this year. 278 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 2: The Georgia teams in the past few years, the way 279 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,719 Speaker 2: they looked. Kirby's telling you right there, Texas flat out 280 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 2: looks like we've looked in our best years. And he's 281 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 2: talking about defense. He's not even talking about offense. Colin, 282 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 2: Let's take a look at what the model thinks. The 283 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 2: FanDuel number is Texas minus three and a half. Model 284 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 2: thinks it should be higher than that. Models got Texas 285 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 2: minus five. I think Texas is going to win this game. 286 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 2: I think Texas will cover in the game. I think 287 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,719 Speaker 2: Texas is the best team in the country right now. 288 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 2: Now the model may disagree with me a little bit. 289 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 2: We'll talk about the JP pole later, but I think 290 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 2: you're looking at the best team in the country here. 291 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 2: I respect the fighting spirit of this Georgia program. There's 292 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 2: no shock here if they end up winning the game. 293 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 2: But I think there are too many small to moderate 294 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 2: edges that Texas holds. Not to mention home field here 295 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 2: as well. They did not get banged up, they didn't 296 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 2: get pushed to the wire against Oklahoma last week, and 297 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 2: so Georgie's back kind of against the wall more so 298 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 2: than Texas. 299 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 1: I just I don't think all that stuff matters in 300 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: this one. 301 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 2: And also you can look at it as people doubting you. 302 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 2: I guarantee you most of the country will pick Texas 303 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 2: in this game, just like to pick Bama, but it 304 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,559 Speaker 2: didn't matter. You still got to go win the game. 305 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 2: Like what if everyone picks the favorite and they're just right. 306 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 2: I'm gonna pick Texas here. I assume the rest of 307 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 2: the country will as well. Someone out there will pick 308 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 2: Georgia and cross their fingers they're lucky and right. But 309 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 2: I'm taking Texas un They'll proven otherwise. I think that's 310 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 2: the best team in the country, and if they have 311 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 2: home field along with that, I'm taking them against anyone. 312 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 2: Georgia included. Academy Sports and Outdoors is a big deal 313 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 2: in Texas.

Keep me updated on this I'll pull 333 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 2: it up over here. We'll see how that goes. Maybe 334 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 2: we should run poles on every game so that when 335 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 2: I'm wrong, I feel a little bit of company in 336 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 2: my misery.

We have gotten more big games to talk about. 340 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 2: I think I should sit from the challice Colin, cause, frankly, 341 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 2: I think that this has brought a lot of luck. 342 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 2: Ramannulu Express had a winning week last week, and it's 343 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 2: no small coincidence I brought the Chalice of supremacy back 344 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 2: as a as a drinking receptacle. All right, that's it, 345 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 2: that's all it's. 346 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: Supposed to happen there. 347 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 2: Alabama is at Tennessee Saturday, three point thirty Eastern time, 348 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 2: kickoff on ABC. It is not the first, not the second, 349 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 2: but the third Saturday in October. This game is so intense. 350 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 2: Last time we were in that building, Director Colin was 351 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 2: actually with me. Last time we were in that building, 352 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 2: the goalpost ended up in the river. It was an 353 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 2: outdoor venue, but people still got smoke inhlation on the field. 354 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 2: A small word of wisdom to Kaylin Debor down there, 355 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 2: who has been under fire for everything from his defensive 356 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 2: hires to his dress on game days. I know they 357 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 2: asked him about the cigar. My advice to him, I 358 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 2: don't care if he smokes. I don't smoke either, But 359 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 2: if I'm the head coach at Alabama. I'm gonna do 360 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 2: what Sabin did. At least if I win this game, 361 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 2: I'll at least chew on a cigar. The photo op 362 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 2: of the winning coach in this game with the cigar 363 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 2: in the mouth is worth like one to two years 364 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,199 Speaker 2: extra on the tail end of your career. I promise you. 365 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 2: That's free advice. I promise you I'm right on this. 366 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 2: Why is Alabama not running the ball better with their tailbacks? 367 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 2: You will never convince me that shouldn't be a strength 368 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,479 Speaker 2: of this team. Why is Tennessee sitting in a position 369 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,120 Speaker 2: where Josh Heipel is your head coach? I got Nicole Amaliava, 370 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 2: who looks like a weapon amongst weapons at quarterback to 371 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 2: the eyes, and you've been shut out two first halves 372 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,880 Speaker 2: in a row. These are the wise that I take 373 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 2: into this game. Now, I'm gonna say something here. It's 374 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 2: gonna sound crazy, especially if you've watched Tennessee the last. 375 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: Couple of weeks. 376 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 2: I think that if you're hating on Tennessee's offense and 377 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 2: you're just selling the potential of this season down the river, 378 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 2: you're doing it at your own peril. There's a big difference. 379 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 2: I think friend of the program, acquaintance of the program, 380 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 2: Cole Kublick did a really good job the other night. 381 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 2: See they put that guy on National and you turn 382 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 2: him loose long enough, he's gonna make some good points. 383 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 2: And he went into great detail. I encourage you guys 384 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 2: to go watch this. He went into great detail talking 385 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 2: about how different it is for a scheme to be 386 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,159 Speaker 2: flawed versus execution to be flawed. And he came with 387 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 2: receipts and he pointed out several examples, you know, fumbling 388 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:23,439 Speaker 2: the ball, screwing up the mesh, point overthrowing receivers, dropped balls. 389 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 2: These are not scheme problems. These are execution problems. So 390 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 2: when you go back and you watch Tennessee's offense through 391 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 2: that lens and then you try and fast forward to 392 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 2: the Bama game, what it makes me think is it 393 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 2: makes me think there could be a click moment for 394 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 2: this offense coming. And if you've watched Bama's defense over 395 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 2: the last few weeks, what better unit to get right 396 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 2: against than that Alabama defense. Bama's rundy is not great. 397 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 2: I've got Dylan Sampson Junior. If I'm Tennessee over ninety 398 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 2: yards every game so far this year. Overthrows and fumbles 399 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 2: and bounces a ball. Those are all part of my 400 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 2: past so far this year, but doesn't always have to 401 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 2: be part of my future. If I just small fractions 402 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,239 Speaker 2: of inches correct these things, who knows, I may go 403 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 2: from having zero on the board at halftime to having 404 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 2: twenty three on the board at halftime, and then it's 405 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 2: game on. Because once you got that juice back, once 406 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 2: you got that energy back, you know what this game 407 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 2: is like. All of us have watched this game before. 408 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 2: We know what it's like. Alabama's defense is one hundred 409 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 2: and twentieth in the country and plays run against. 410 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: They live on the field. 411 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,400 Speaker 2: Bama's defense just lives on the field, first off, because 412 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 2: they can't get off the field on third nine. And 413 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 2: secondly because if Bama's offense is not scoring, they're going 414 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 2: three and out. 415 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 1: Not a good combination. 416 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 2: So one thing I'll be watching is what I call 417 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 2: edw new acronym on the show tonight, and that just 418 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 2: means extended drive watch. And if we're watching Tennessee in 419 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 2: the first half, they don't have to be racking up 420 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 2: points per se. But if they're going on these ten, 421 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 2: twelve thirteen play drives. Don't even care if it ends 422 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 2: in field goals. It matters for the second half of 423 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 2: this game now. Jalen Milroe needs a step up game here. 424 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 2: Jalen Milroe, I don't even know what the heismanoads right 425 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 2: now are. If he's in them, he needs to justify it. 426 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,479 Speaker 2: I assume he's still in them. He needs to justify it. 427 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 2: He has some shaky decision making last week against South Carolina, 428 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,640 Speaker 2: probably as weird as I've seen him. 429 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:20,360 Speaker 1: Look all year. 430 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna sit here and pretend to tell you 431 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 2: I know what the play calls were. I'm not telling 432 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 2: you any of that. 433 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: I was. 434 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 2: I mean, where was. I was in Oregon. I was 435 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 2: holding a mic in my hand. I was on the 436 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 2: air with, among other folks, Damian Harris, who had a 437 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 2: vested emotional interest, and we're live on air. He's in Florida, 438 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 2: I'm in Oregon and we're watching this game unfold, and 439 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 2: you're like, man, Milroe looks uncomfortable. Man, what is South 440 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 2: Carolina doing to him? So that can't be the case 441 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 2: this week, and there are plays to be made against 442 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 2: this Tennessee secondary. I think it's been there all year. 443 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 2: It's just that they haven't faced a litany of quarterbacks 444 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 2: that are really, really good at generating explosive plays. 445 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 1: This will be the best one they faced all year. 446 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 2: Milroe's got to hit him, and ideally he would hit 447 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 2: those because Alabama has run the ball half decently with 448 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 2: Justiceason jam Miller along with Jaln Milroe using his legs. 449 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 2: And that leads me to my second question, what do 450 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 2: I get from Jalen Milroe's legs here? 451 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: Because Tennessee in. 452 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,199 Speaker 2: This game last year bottled him up very well. He 453 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,919 Speaker 2: had one good run, Jesse, what do we see like 454 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,119 Speaker 2: one fifteen yard run when we rewatched this game? And 455 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 2: other than that, it was not off to the races 456 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 2: for Jaylen Milroe in this game last year. So we 457 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 2: have what we call padlock stats on the show, and 458 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 2: that is the kind of stat where if I tell 459 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 2: you a stat on Friday, you don't even need to 460 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 2: watch the game. 461 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:41,199 Speaker 1: You know how it's going to go. 462 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 2: And I have a sneaking suspicion that the padlock stat 463 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 2: for this one will just be explosive plays because even 464 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 2: though Tennessee's been shut out in the first half the 465 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 2: past couple of weeks. The explosive play potential is there, 466 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 2: especially against this Alabama defense right now, the explosive play 467 00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 2: potential is there. Certainly the explosive play potential for Alibe 468 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 2: Obama is there. I'd be surprised if Bama didn't hit 469 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 2: a few explosives against Tennessee. 470 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 1: How many do they hit tackling. 471 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,880 Speaker 2: Also, when you think about explosive plays in the way 472 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 2: Tennessee can generate them, I know the mind goes to 473 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:13,920 Speaker 2: Nico just airing it out over the top. 474 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:15,439 Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be that. 475 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 2: It doesn't even have to be Dylan Samson ripping one 476 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 2: all for sixty yards between the tackles and he gets 477 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 2: loose in the secondary linebacker misses as they've been known 478 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 2: to do lately. 479 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: Doesn't have to be that either. 480 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 2: What it could be is you just hit one of 481 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 2: these receivers out on the perimeter and a two yard 482 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 2: catch turns into a sixty five yard game because they 483 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 2: don't tackle well like That could also be the case. 484 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 2: You just however you generate them, you got to get 485 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:43,120 Speaker 2: them if you're Tennessee and if you're Alabama. Jeremy Bernard 486 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 2: just needs to be more of what he's been Ryan 487 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 2: Williams sort of kind of quiet last week. Needs to 488 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 2: have one of those Georgia games here. Alabama Situa HM. 489 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 2: Their situational awareness has lacked I think this year. 490 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,199 Speaker 1: I think that's a fair thing to say. They've been 491 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 1: very penalized. 492 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,160 Speaker 2: They're one hundred and nineteenth in the country in penalties 493 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 2: now Tennessee's eighty eight. So there's not really one big 494 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 2: edge in that category here or there. They did Tennessee 495 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 2: being they they did lose Keenan Peely. That is a 496 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 2: defensive captain right there in the middle. For him, he 497 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,199 Speaker 2: was the green dot for him, he was the play caller. 498 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,880 Speaker 2: It is a big loss. It is a very very 499 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 2: big loss, and honestly it played into how I think 500 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 2: this game is going to go. By the way, we 501 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 2: had a lot of folks watching both live and watching 502 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 2: the replay. To me a favor show's free. We always 503 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 2: want to keep it free. Just make sure you subscribe 504 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,199 Speaker 2: to the channel, and that's it. Does it cost you 505 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,239 Speaker 2: a thing, no strings attached, no email list you get 506 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 2: signed up to. It just helps us. Colin, let's take 507 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 2: a look at what the model thinks. FanDuel right now 508 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 2: has Alabama favored in Kneeland Alabama minus two and a half. 509 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,400 Speaker 2: The model looks at that and says, uh uh, wrong, 510 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 2: team's favored. Yes, the model just outright thinks Tennessee should 511 00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 2: be favored by one and a half. Leaned heavily Tennessee 512 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 2: in this game, then I lean slightly Tennessee. Don't like 513 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 2: Pelly being out at all. Don't feel ultra confident on 514 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,679 Speaker 2: either side. But if I think this is an explosive 515 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 2: play game, which I think it will be, I think 516 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 2: that'll be the padlock stat I trust Alabama a lot 517 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 2: more generating those right now than I do Tennessee. With 518 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 2: the caveat that, I also think there is a click 519 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 2: moment coming for Tennessee's offense this season, at some point 520 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 2: where they all of a sudden generate them in bunches. 521 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 2: I am going to roll the dice and say that 522 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 2: doesn't happen this week to the degree that it would 523 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 2: take them to win the game. Look at my handshake. 524 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 2: It's for a fact. Look I can hold my hands still. 525 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 2: But still I am nervous about this pick. But I 526 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 2: am slightly rolling with Alabama to win. And since they're 527 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 2: favorite by two and a half, I guess I'll take 528 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 2: them to cover as well. We will be at this 529 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 2: game regardless, we will be at this game. The whole 530 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 2: New Saturday Tour is not flying but just driving to Knoxville. 531 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 2: What a welcome change after we have nearly circumnavigated the 532 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 2: globe recently Alabama at Tennessee fueled by quick trip. And 533 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 2: I know good and well there is a quick trip 534 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 2: that is very opportunistically placed on a certain exit I 535 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 2: like to stop on. So I expect some quick trip 536 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,959 Speaker 2: check ins from us on our way to and perhaps 537 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 2: even from this game. It's been really fun season so far. 538 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:25,880 Speaker 2: So what have we done. We have traveled all over 539 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 2: the place. We will continue to travel all over the place. 540 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 2: We have given away a ton of free gas. We 541 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 2: have I mean, we've even got a doc right here 542 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 2: in the show description. We've got a QR code on 543 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 2: the screen. You don't have to do this part. I 544 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,400 Speaker 2: just asked them to insert this as an added perk 545 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 2: for you guys. So you download their app, you go 546 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,919 Speaker 2: put your name in this dock. It's not your name, 547 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 2: it's your email address. And that gets our viewers just exclusively. 548 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 2: Our people added free stuff through the app that no 549 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 2: one else has access to now. Like I said, there's 550 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,080 Speaker 2: no requirement there. You don't have to do it. You 551 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 2: don't like giving out your email address. I get it 552 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 2: because I don't like doing it either. It is safe 553 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 2: with Quick Trip like I made them. I made them 554 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 2: pinky swear that it's safe with them. That's just if 555 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 2: you want added free stuff. And we have come to 556 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 2: find out a few things about our audience. You're very loyal, 557 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,919 Speaker 2: number one. Number two, you really tend to like free stuff. 558 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 2: And that's why we're not so different, you and I. 559 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 2: We're not so different at all. I wear the same 560 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,120 Speaker 2: shirt every show, and I'm not even sure I paid 561 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 2: for these shirts. Jesse and Colin, I'm not even sure 562 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 2: I did. So we really appreciate it. All right, let's 563 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 2: move on some more big games. I've also got a 564 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 2: JP poll that I just gotta be real with you. 565 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 2: It's going to cost me a few friends, maybe some 566 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 2: friends that I've made recently, but I will stand by 567 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 2: the model on ninety five percent of these ratings, not 568 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 2: rankings ratings. But in the meantime, Miami plays Louisville this Saturday. 569 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 2: It's a high noon Eastern time kickoff on ABC. This 570 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 2: game I would very much encourage you to circle. We 571 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 2: spotlighted this one in the preseason because it's a big 572 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 2: dynamics advantage from Miami. So Miami's off a bye. We 573 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 2: have these games this time of year where one team's 574 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 2: off a bye, and that's Miami. 575 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: Louisville fifth straight game. 576 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 2: And their last four games have really come down to 577 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 2: the wire, including the last three being one possession games, 578 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 2: and so Louisville no time to rest, kind of spent. 579 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 2: They even got pushed to the wire against Virginia last 580 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,679 Speaker 2: week and Miami sitting down there resting after two narrow 581 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 2: wins themselves, and now they get to go on the road, 582 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 2: and you know the talking points. You just want to 583 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,239 Speaker 2: get to the bye week and then you clean up 584 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 2: everything in the bye week, whatever cleanup means in football. 585 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 2: Then you go out on the road and all will 586 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 2: be well. Right, Well, you're favored by four and a half. 587 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 2: So let's see Louisville's defense. This is the not good part. 588 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 2: They've allowed three of the last four Power four quarterbacks 589 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 2: they faced to throw for two to seventy five or more. 590 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 2: The only one who didn't was Riley Leonard, and he 591 00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 2: doesn't throw at three hundred against anybody. So I mean 592 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 2: everybody capable of throwing for two seventy five or more 593 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 2: has done it against Louisville. Cam Ward hasn't had a 594 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 2: game where he's been under three hundred all season. So 595 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 2: cam Ward shockingly will get his in this game. Louisville's 596 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,479 Speaker 2: defense is forty second versus the run. They're seventieth against 597 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 2: the past. Miami gets thirty five or more in this game. 598 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 2: I am banking on that, and if they don't, hat 599 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 2: tip Louisville. But your defense has let me down all year, 600 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 2: so I'm not gonna start counting on it against maybe 601 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 2: the best quarterback in the country. Gunslinger makes some questionable decisions, 602 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 2: but he bails me out every time by overcoming those 603 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 2: with plays like you're watching right now. So I think 604 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 2: Miami gets thirty five in this game and maybe more. 605 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 2: I'm just banking on thirty five. So how do you 606 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 2: find them? How does Louisville find an answer there? Well, 607 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 2: Tyler Shuck is still healthy. That means Tyler Shuck. I'm 608 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 2: not calling him cam Ward. I'm just saying he can 609 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 2: trade shots now. As long as he's healthy. He's been 610 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 2: able to do that. His whole career, and Miami can 611 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 2: be gashed by explosive plays. They've had it happen all year. 612 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 2: Virginia Tech had six plays of twenty plus yards against Miami. 613 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 2: Cal had seven plays of twenty plus yards and four 614 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 2: of fifty plus yards against Miami. So there's one world, 615 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 2: fairytale world that you could live in where you just 616 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 2: think that Miami went into the By, watched some film, 617 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 2: lifted some weights, and had a few talks and everything's 618 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 2: right with the world. Defensively. Now, this is the real world. 619 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 2: That is not how football happens. I mean, you could 620 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 2: tighten some things up, and there are statistical anomalies every year. 621 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 2: But I gotta believe there will be some plays, chunk 622 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 2: plays to be made against Miami coming out of the By. 623 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: Though, what does it mean? Really? 624 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 2: I actually wrote that on the piece of paper. Coming 625 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 2: out of the Bye means ellipses dot dot dot question mark. 626 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: Here's the deal of Miami. 627 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 2: Miami is thought to be a team that has fringe 628 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 2: national title aspirations and fringe national title potential. I don't know, 629 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 2: Colin or Jesse, do we have odds in there for anything? 630 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 2: Do we have like a graphic I didn't ask for it, 631 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 2: so we may not have one. But Louisville is not 632 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 2: in that conversation. Really, Miami is a team if you 633 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 2: go to FanDuel right now, that's in the conversation for 634 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 2: this stuff. Like cam Ward's in the conversation for Heisman, 635 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 2: Miami's in the conversation for that stuff. 636 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 1: Is that real or not? 637 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 2: Because if it's real, they'll come out of the by 638 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 2: and they'll go up to Louisville and they'll take care 639 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 2: of business. Because that's what a team with that kind 640 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 2: of potential would do. Now, if you're not that, that's okay, 641 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 2: there's a next tier where you're just a good, solid 642 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 2: ACC title contender but maybe nothing more. That kind of 643 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 2: team would come out of the buy and they'd go struggle. 644 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 2: They may even win against Louisville, but they go struggle. 645 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 2: The odds to win the ACC championship right now, Clemson 646 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 2: is favored to win this conference. That's a pretty recent development. 647 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 2: By the way, it was Miami for a while. So 648 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 2: Clemson's favored to win the thing. Miami is right there. 649 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 2: They nearly identical odds, and then it's SMU and Pitt 650 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 2: and Louisville have the same odds. So Colin, you can 651 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 2: go ahead to actually and throw up what the model thinks, 652 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 2: because the FanDuel number on this game screams competitive game. 653 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: It's Miami minus four and a half. The model agrees. 654 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 2: I mean, the model looks at it and says that 655 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 2: explosive play rate giving up defensively, it's hard pressed to 656 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 2: allow you to pull away from teams. In fact, Miami's 657 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 2: found themselves trying to fight to get back in the 658 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 2: last two games they played against. 659 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 1: Honestly inferior competition. 660 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 2: So I just want to know as we look at 661 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 2: what the model thinks, there is Miami's national title muscle 662 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 2: reel or not. If it is your flex in this game, 663 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 2: I'm gonna roll the dice on Miami. I think it 664 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 2: is real. And they're not Texas. You know they're They're 665 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 2: not Ohio State or Oregon. I don't think of them 666 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 2: that way right now. I could change my mind down 667 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 2: the road. I don't think of them like that right now, 668 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 2: but I think of them as a team that should 669 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 2: be in that kind of converse on the fringes at least. 670 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 2: And if I'm right about that, they will beat Louisville 671 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 2: by more than. 672 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 1: Four and a half. 673 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 2: So I'm gonna take the chance that that is true. 674 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 2: I'm gonna take the chance that Miami goes up there 675 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 2: out of a bye and they're good enough, and they 676 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 2: win it and they cover, and then we can we 677 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 2: can have a separate conversation about what's possible for them 678 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 2: down the road. Oh, I wrote my handle here. I 679 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 2: had no idea why, so I did want to thank 680 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 2: you guys. Now that we're a little bit into the 681 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 2: show here, I think we're gonna hit three hundred thousand 682 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 2: subs on the YouTube channel next week, and that's what 683 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 2: we're trending towards. Strangely, I've got to do a show 684 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 2: from New York City next week. Actually, we're doing shows 685 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 2: from New York City the next two weeks, which is 686 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 2: about the most anti me sentence ever uttered. But that's 687 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 2: happening and we look forward to it because we love 688 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 2: our crew up there. That has nothing to do with 689 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 2: our subscriber count. I'm just telling you. Last time we 690 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 2: were in LA when we hit two hundred thousand subs, 691 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 2: maybe we'll be in New York in the moment we 692 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 2: hit three hundred thousand subs. But you guys, for that 693 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 2: But the other thing is the Instagram channel. The Instagram 694 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 2: page's got a lot of traction that is well worth 695 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,480 Speaker 2: your time if you don't follow me over there at 696 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 2: Late Kick Josh. There is a metric ton of stuff 697 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 2: that I put over there, including on Game Day, behind 698 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 2: the scenes stuff and the Instagram story that you will 699 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 2: never see on the show because we don't have time 700 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 2: to show you all that. And so you also get 701 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 2: Friday Night lines over there exclusively. That is live every 702 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 2: Friday night from a nondescript hotel room on the road, 703 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 2: and it is the most like raw, in depth, gambling 704 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 2: centric talk that we do. I don't infuse that in 705 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 2: the show because a lot of you don't bet and 706 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,480 Speaker 2: you don't care about it that granularly, but some of 707 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 2: you do. So I do that on Instagram live on 708 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 2: Friday nights at Late Kick Josh. Make sure you're following there. 709 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 2: This next five to ten minutes of this show is 710 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 2: going to be controversial. Some of it shouldn't be, but 711 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 2: it will be because we all know the state of 712 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 2: the state of affairs in public discourse these days. So 713 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 2: I am going to tell you, Colin, here's a good 714 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,880 Speaker 2: endpoint for you. I've got the JP Poll Week eight 715 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:08,399 Speaker 2: edition right here. And we all know that these are 716 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,799 Speaker 2: not rankings. These are power ratings. And we all know 717 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,440 Speaker 2: that it doesn't matter that I tell you that, because 718 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 2: the casuals will come for me, and they always come 719 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 2: for me regardless. But this week, based on what I'm 720 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,760 Speaker 2: about to show you, this stuff, if you don't understand 721 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 2: how a power rating works, will make no sense. And 722 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,879 Speaker 2: I'm going to show you why in very short order. 723 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:28,759 Speaker 2: So I mean, I am going to count on you 724 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 2: guys who understand how this thing works this week more 725 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 2: than ever because I cannot fight this battle on my own. 726 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,400 Speaker 2: And we got a battle coming. You can hear the 727 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 2: drum beat in the distance. We got a battle coming, Colin. 728 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 2: Show them one through five. Here we go, neutral field favorability. 729 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 2: Who would be favored against two? 730 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 1: This week? 731 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:49,360 Speaker 2: Ohio State is still the number one team in the country. 732 00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 2: And I'm going to tell you I disagree with the 733 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,440 Speaker 2: model slightly here, but not in. 734 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 1: The way you think. The only thing I would change 735 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,719 Speaker 1: is I'd have Texas above Ohio State. That's it. 736 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,840 Speaker 2: Ohio State still above Oregon. It goes for the record. 737 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 2: For you listening on podcast, it goes Ohio State, Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Clemson. 738 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,759 Speaker 2: I know what you're looking at. You're looking at the 739 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,319 Speaker 2: fact that Ohio State just lost to Oregon and there's 740 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,320 Speaker 2: still a couple of spots ahead of them. I'm gonna 741 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 2: tell you, not only is this not a hot take, 742 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 2: it's not even controversial. I hit FanDuel up earlier today. 743 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,320 Speaker 2: I said, guys, I know this is going to ruffle 744 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,759 Speaker 2: a lot of feathers. Do me a favor. Send me 745 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 2: what you would make this line on a neutral field. 746 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 2: In other words, if this game were played in the 747 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,360 Speaker 2: Big Ten Championship today, what would the line be Ohio 748 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,440 Speaker 2: State's two and a half point favorite against Oregon neutral 749 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:39,800 Speaker 2: field today. So there's nothing controversial about this. And yet, 750 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,399 Speaker 2: and yet, watch what happens when I tweet this out 751 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,919 Speaker 2: later tonight. Clemson is number five in the JP pole, 752 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 2: by the way, and there will be detachment here. Colin, 753 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,240 Speaker 2: you can roll six through ten right quick, because Miami's 754 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:56,360 Speaker 2: number six. Now, I can tell you I'm pretty confident 755 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,799 Speaker 2: talking to the folks at FanDuel if Miami Clemson happened today, 756 00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 2: my Miami would be a slight favorite. So the model 757 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 2: is a little detached, very slightly but a little detached 758 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 2: from what FanDuel would have on that front. So I 759 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 2: am telling you I got Clemson ahead of Miami because 760 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 2: the model disagrees with the odds makers on that front. 761 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,280 Speaker 1: Ole Miss is still high. 762 00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:19,520 Speaker 2: Ole Miss is at seven, and that just simply stems 763 00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,319 Speaker 2: from the fact that I don't really care what your 764 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,720 Speaker 2: record is. I care what you'd be on a neutral 765 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 2: field tomorrow, and ole Miss, I mean Iowa State's undefeated. 766 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 2: Like I promise you ten out of ten times Ole 767 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 2: Miss would be favored against Iowa State, as much as 768 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,279 Speaker 2: I may hate that they'd be favored against Iowa State 769 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 2: as they played tomorrow. Bama is at number eight. They 770 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:41,800 Speaker 2: have dropped nearly seven points on their power rating since 771 00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:46,400 Speaker 2: the Georgia game, so Bama's not playing very well right now. However, 772 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,560 Speaker 2: the talent profile, which constitutes a power rating to a 773 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,400 Speaker 2: large degree of this team is such that there's still 774 00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 2: number eight. Will that be a low water mark of 775 00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,799 Speaker 2: the year for Alabama or is their floor even lower 776 00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,480 Speaker 2: than eight? We'll see Penn State's nine. I told you 777 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 2: we were going to be a little detached from the 778 00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:08,080 Speaker 2: ap pole there, you know, Penn State, Jesse, what are 779 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,640 Speaker 2: they three right now in the ap SO. Penn State's 780 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,560 Speaker 2: three in the Apeople, They're nine in the JP poll. 781 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,279 Speaker 2: The gap just for the record between three and nine 782 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:19,640 Speaker 2: in the JP poll would be. 783 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:21,880 Speaker 1: Four points. 784 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,719 Speaker 2: So there is a little disagreement from an AP voter 785 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,359 Speaker 2: versus what the power rating system has here. Notre Dames 786 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,839 Speaker 2: at number ten, Notre Dame's overrated. To me, what are 787 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,239 Speaker 2: they rated? Well, they're rated number ten. Notre Dame has 788 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,960 Speaker 2: incurred a lot of injury. Now, as you guys know, 789 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:39,919 Speaker 2: if you follow this sort of thing and you follow 790 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:44,080 Speaker 2: predictive modeling and whatnot, outside of quarterback, there are no 791 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,759 Speaker 2: players that are worth a whole lot of points individually. 792 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,479 Speaker 2: I've sort of disagreed with that philosophy case to case 793 00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,480 Speaker 2: over the years, but I understand it in totality it 794 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:57,799 Speaker 2: does make sense. However, speaking of the word totality, I 795 00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,320 Speaker 2: mean Morrison is now out as well for the season 796 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 2: for Notre Dame, and so they have incurred several injuries 797 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,719 Speaker 2: that individually would not be worth more than a point 798 00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:09,719 Speaker 2: in a quarter and that's at the very most. But 799 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,480 Speaker 2: in totality, I think they're worth a lot more than that, 800 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 2: and Notre Dame is sitting at number ten. I wouldn't 801 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,280 Speaker 2: have them that high, So that's a model disagreement between 802 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:21,480 Speaker 2: me and the computer. Here, Tennessee's at number eleven. Then 803 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,239 Speaker 2: there's a little bit of drop off, so there are 804 00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:28,360 Speaker 2: like two and three quarters to three points drop between 805 00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,480 Speaker 2: where Tennessee is and then where LSU is, And I'm 806 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 2: just going to read them here Tennessee eleven, LSU twelve 807 00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,200 Speaker 2: A and M thirteen, Iowa State fourteen. 808 00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:37,880 Speaker 1: USC's fifteen. 809 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:44,600 Speaker 2: The gap between number twelve and number twenty five is 810 00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:46,120 Speaker 2: five and a half points. 811 00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:47,040 Speaker 1: So there's a. 812 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:51,760 Speaker 2: Lot of accordion condensing here in this twelve to twenty 813 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,279 Speaker 2: five range to where you could kind of jumble this 814 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 2: up and just throw it out there, and in a 815 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,040 Speaker 2: lot of ways it would make sense. USC is still 816 00:38:58,040 --> 00:38:59,840 Speaker 2: at fifteen. A lot of people, I assume, will have 817 00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:03,520 Speaker 2: a problem with that. Why would they drop We had 818 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 2: them twelfth last week, their fifteenth. Their raw power rating 819 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,840 Speaker 2: dropped a couple of points. 820 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 1: Actually, why would it drop a whole lot? 821 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:16,040 Speaker 2: Though they were a three point dog, I think they 822 00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:17,920 Speaker 2: were a little over a field goal dog at home 823 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:22,200 Speaker 2: against a team rated higher than them. They lost in overtime. 824 00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,759 Speaker 2: I think you got exactly what you should get in 825 00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 2: that matchup. So the Model's not going to drop a 826 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,440 Speaker 2: team for doing what it thinks they should do in 827 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:33,960 Speaker 2: a game. Kansas State is number sixteen, Iowa is number seventeen. 828 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 2: They are three points above what their preseason rating was, 829 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:39,880 Speaker 2: and we've been betting Iowa. I think we're four and 830 00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,040 Speaker 2: oh betting Iowa games this year. Maybe we'll hit them 831 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,759 Speaker 2: again this week, who knows. I don't know that I've 832 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,680 Speaker 2: ever said we're just gonna ride to Iowa because they're 833 00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,479 Speaker 2: a money making machine recently, but they kind of are. 834 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:50,880 Speaker 1: Indiana's eighteen. 835 00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:57,560 Speaker 2: Wisconsin has suddenly reappeared in the jpeepole and they're nineteen. 836 00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 2: They're back to their original preseason rate. So they lost 837 00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,920 Speaker 2: the quarterback against Alabama, they got blown out by Alabama, 838 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 2: and they've sort of righted the ship, and the Model's 839 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:10,279 Speaker 2: got some supreme Luke Fickle respect right now. It's got 840 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,680 Speaker 2: Wisconsin nineteen and SMU twenty, and then we get into 841 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:19,319 Speaker 2: just the total abyss here of suspiciousness. Let me put 842 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:24,759 Speaker 2: it that way. Louisville's twenty one, Arkansas is number twenty two. 843 00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 2: You toss twenty three without camerising Florida's twenty four boise 844 00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,840 Speaker 2: Is twenty five, and I just read five teams in 845 00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,280 Speaker 2: a row. But I know my audience. I know you guys. 846 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,279 Speaker 2: A lot of you are listening right now. You're at 847 00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,040 Speaker 2: the gym, or you're driving or whatever. You probably didn't 848 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,719 Speaker 2: even hear all five of them because you yelled at 849 00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,960 Speaker 2: some point. So I'm gonna say him again. Louisville twenty one, 850 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,520 Speaker 2: Arkansas twenty two. Some of you just yelled again. You 851 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:55,680 Speaker 2: saw twenty three Florida twenty four, Bois twenty five. Florida 852 00:40:56,040 --> 00:41:00,240 Speaker 2: got a bump, pretty substantial bump after losing last week, 853 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,640 Speaker 2: because that's how power ratings work as opposed to rankings. 854 00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,719 Speaker 1: You saw Florida lose. Yeah, I did too. 855 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 2: I saw a sixteen and a half point dog lead 856 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:13,000 Speaker 2: at halftime and lose in overtime on the road. They 857 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,040 Speaker 2: were thirtieth last week. We bumped them to well, I 858 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,360 Speaker 2: didn't bump them anywhere. The model bumped them to twenty fourth. 859 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,239 Speaker 2: I hit up FanDuel earlier today about Brigham Young because 860 00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 2: I don't have them in the top twenty five. I've 861 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:27,239 Speaker 2: got Brigham Young at thirty. I just asked them give 862 00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,359 Speaker 2: me some random stuff like I'm going to take flag 863 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:33,319 Speaker 2: for having Arkansas above BYU, I'm gonna I'm gonna take 864 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:36,200 Speaker 2: some flak for having like Florida clearly above Brigham Young. 865 00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:38,640 Speaker 2: They said both of those matchups would be around to 866 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,880 Speaker 2: Pickham right now. So you are not always totally what 867 00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,120 Speaker 2: your record says you are in this world. There is 868 00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:48,920 Speaker 2: another very interesting team just floating out there. It is 869 00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:52,960 Speaker 2: Virginia Tech, not Vanderbilt. I got Vandy forty first. By 870 00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:58,560 Speaker 2: the way, Virginia Tech is thirty second. I don't normally 871 00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:02,600 Speaker 2: go past the top twenty five. Virginia Tech is thirty second. 872 00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,239 Speaker 2: And I want to ask you to do something after 873 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 2: the show's over. I want you to think about all 874 00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,000 Speaker 2: the teams you've left for dead. Virginia Tech's one of them. 875 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 2: Then I want you to go look at their conference standings, 876 00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:15,200 Speaker 2: and I want you to go to look at their 877 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,520 Speaker 2: remaining schedule, and I want you to just go. 878 00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:18,719 Speaker 1: Look at the position they're in. 879 00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:23,880 Speaker 2: Virginia Tech is the most quiet, well possessed, well positioned 880 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,680 Speaker 2: team in the country right now. All their preseason goals 881 00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,640 Speaker 2: are still there. Ask yourself, who have they lost to. 882 00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,320 Speaker 2: I think they've got one conference loss they got Clemson 883 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,640 Speaker 2: still coming to their place later in the season. They 884 00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:38,200 Speaker 2: went into the by feeling very good about themselves. I've 885 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:42,080 Speaker 2: got them back to their preseason rating or thereabouts. I 886 00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 2: had them eighty seven point six to start the year. 887 00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:48,120 Speaker 2: I've got them eighty seven point eight now. So Virginia Tech, 888 00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,600 Speaker 2: like we thought pretty highly of them coming into the season. 889 00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,920 Speaker 2: In the aggregate, they're rated even a smidge higher than 890 00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,319 Speaker 2: I had them in the preseason in the in the 891 00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,160 Speaker 2: just in that course of time, they went. 892 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:03,200 Speaker 1: Below their preseason rating. But they're back. So let's see 893 00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:03,799 Speaker 1: what they do with it. 894 00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:08,560 Speaker 2: The jpeopole will be very controversial once it hits the 895 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,279 Speaker 2: open social media market. After the show I wanted to 896 00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,640 Speaker 2: share it amongst ourselves first. I mean, I see the 897 00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:19,520 Speaker 2: live chat over here, and yeah, some of you are 898 00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:24,200 Speaker 2: feeling Virginia Tech right there should certain things fall into place, 899 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,040 Speaker 2: That's what Matthew said. That's my feeling, my friend, they're 900 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:31,200 Speaker 2: right there if certain things fall into place. Okay, they're 901 00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:35,520 Speaker 2: watching us in Benita Springs, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, Santa Monica, California, 902 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,680 Speaker 2: in Rome, Georgia. Thank you guys so much. Another sit 903 00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:40,960 Speaker 2: from the Chalice because I will need it for this 904 00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:50,400 Speaker 2: next game. This game will not be touted as a 905 00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:54,680 Speaker 2: top twenty five matchup when it happens this weekend, But 906 00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,560 Speaker 2: if you believe in the jpeople, much like Santa Claus 907 00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,640 Speaker 2: or the Easter Money, it is real and we have 908 00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:03,680 Speaker 2: a top twenty five matchup this weekend. Colin, I had 909 00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:05,200 Speaker 2: a little sneeze that I thought was coming, so I 910 00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:05,800 Speaker 2: tried to delay. 911 00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:07,840 Speaker 1: But the sneeze is gone. So here's your endpoint. 912 00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:13,480 Speaker 2: LSU and Arkansas, I think is a top twenty five matchup. Honestly, 913 00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,239 Speaker 2: you could. You could have my life on the line 914 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,480 Speaker 2: right now, and I could not remember whether Arkansas's ranked 915 00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:20,880 Speaker 2: in the A people. I don't think they are. But 916 00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:24,480 Speaker 2: the jpepole has Arkansas on the top twenty five, and 917 00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,719 Speaker 2: the tables turn a bit for LSU this week. So 918 00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,400 Speaker 2: last week, remember we had a situation where LSU was 919 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,840 Speaker 2: at home, they were off a bye, they hadn't left 920 00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:37,879 Speaker 2: Baton Rouge in a month, and conversely, Ole miss back 921 00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:41,759 Speaker 2: to back road game stretch, seventh consecutive game and it 922 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,799 Speaker 2: was all tilted towards LSU. Now LSU gets to go 923 00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,720 Speaker 2: on the road in a letdown spot against a arrested 924 00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,719 Speaker 2: team who was really feeling itself last time you saw them, 925 00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:52,880 Speaker 2: because they beat Tennessee at home and storm the field. 926 00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,879 Speaker 2: Sam Pittman is one in five at home against top 927 00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:02,400 Speaker 2: ten teams. So it's either flapped the wings time up 928 00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:06,200 Speaker 2: there and fayetviul, or it's everything just reverts back to 929 00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:09,279 Speaker 2: the same old negative tone it had. This is as 930 00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:12,880 Speaker 2: big an inflection game, as big a pivot game for 931 00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,080 Speaker 2: any team as there is in a country this week. 932 00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:18,120 Speaker 2: I think because there are two very divergent paths that 933 00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:21,680 Speaker 2: we could be about to go down. Arkansas wins this game, 934 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:25,640 Speaker 2: they are five and two, only one conference loss in 935 00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,960 Speaker 2: that scenario, by the way, and they are a fringe 936 00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:32,320 Speaker 2: playoff contender. I want you to understand, I'm not talking 937 00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:36,480 Speaker 2: crazy Arkansas. If they win this game, they set up 938 00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,680 Speaker 2: for a little stretch run. They'll still play ole mess 939 00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,879 Speaker 2: Texas and Missouri. Let's say they dropped the Texas game, 940 00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:45,319 Speaker 2: but they went out the rest of the way a 941 00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:48,560 Speaker 2: nine and three Arkansas, that kind of SEC team, with 942 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,920 Speaker 2: that kind of schedule could be a fringe playoff team. However, 943 00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,839 Speaker 2: if they lose, they're four and three and you're on 944 00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,360 Speaker 2: the precipice of the season, kind of going off the 945 00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:00,840 Speaker 2: rails a little bit and it come down to a 946 00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:02,759 Speaker 2: matter of one or two plays, because that's how this 947 00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:03,520 Speaker 2: sport works. 948 00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,200 Speaker 1: Beautiful and nightmarish all at the same time. 949 00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:09,560 Speaker 2: Taylor Green quarterback there at Arkansas coming off, I think 950 00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:10,800 Speaker 2: his best game of the season. 951 00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:12,319 Speaker 1: I don't even know what the numbers say. 952 00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:14,600 Speaker 2: I just think he was having his best game of 953 00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:18,719 Speaker 2: the season, all things considered, opponent considered as well. And 954 00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:20,680 Speaker 2: he got hurt late and he left the game. I 955 00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:22,880 Speaker 2: think it was a bone bruise and the hip. Pittman 956 00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,160 Speaker 2: said he's probable to go this week, so we expect 957 00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:28,040 Speaker 2: him to go. Do we expect one hundred percent mobility? 958 00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:30,400 Speaker 2: That is a very very important thing here, So LSU, 959 00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:34,239 Speaker 2: as much as I respect what their defensive staff has 960 00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:36,279 Speaker 2: done with that side of the ball, there's still one 961 00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,600 Speaker 2: hundred and first in overall pass defense, so there are 962 00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,480 Speaker 2: plays to be made against that secondary. There's seventy seventh 963 00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,920 Speaker 2: in explosive play rate allowed, so there are chunk plays 964 00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:46,960 Speaker 2: through the air that are able to be had there. 965 00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:51,280 Speaker 2: Arkansas's twenty fourth and seventeenth respectively in those stat categories, 966 00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:54,160 Speaker 2: by the way, so it profiles well for Arkansas on 967 00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:57,719 Speaker 2: that front. However, if Taylor Green's not mobile, it does 968 00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:01,160 Speaker 2: not because his mobility is key. If he can't move around, 969 00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:04,440 Speaker 2: there's a problem. LSU's got the fourth best pressure rate 970 00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:07,440 Speaker 2: defensively in the country, and Arkansas is one hundred and 971 00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:09,760 Speaker 2: twenty ninth in pressures allowed. 972 00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,440 Speaker 1: So nothing standing. 973 00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,399 Speaker 2: Still at quarterback is going to be in a good 974 00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,480 Speaker 2: position to succeed for Arkansas Saturday night. 975 00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:19,480 Speaker 1: So that's part one, Part two. 976 00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,319 Speaker 2: I think parts of this game profile are very beneficial 977 00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,360 Speaker 2: and lean very much towards LSU as well. LSU's not 978 00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,799 Speaker 2: running the ball, it may not matter. They didn't run 979 00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,399 Speaker 2: the ball that great against Ole Miss last week. 980 00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:32,160 Speaker 1: I mean Cayden. 981 00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,319 Speaker 2: Durham had a normal game, a very below average game. 982 00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:38,400 Speaker 2: It didn't matter because the rest of the game profiled 983 00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:41,160 Speaker 2: well enough for them to win. And Arkansas's pass defense 984 00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,719 Speaker 2: is sixty ninth in the country and LSU's sitting there 985 00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:45,880 Speaker 2: on the border of top five in the country in 986 00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:50,520 Speaker 2: that same stat category. So Garrett Nussmeier, I think in 987 00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:52,640 Speaker 2: the latter part of the second half of that game 988 00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:55,120 Speaker 2: last week, may have had that moment where it clicked 989 00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,960 Speaker 2: and he woke up and he may go into Arkansas 990 00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:00,440 Speaker 2: Saturday night and get them up seventeen to nothing early, 991 00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:03,640 Speaker 2: like if a guy really hit his stride as a quarterback. 992 00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:06,840 Speaker 2: We see that happen with guys every year. And all 993 00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,359 Speaker 2: of a sudden, you're looking at point spreads, you're looking 994 00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:12,160 Speaker 2: at matchups, and it doesn't matter what this team was 995 00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:15,040 Speaker 2: a month ago. It's a totally different team now. The 996 00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:18,799 Speaker 2: strengths just have to overcome the dynamics here. He'll be 997 00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:21,160 Speaker 2: able to throw the ball in Arkansas. It's a tough 998 00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:24,400 Speaker 2: spot to be in though for LSU arrest at Arkansas 999 00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:26,440 Speaker 2: and their backs still kind of against the wall. They 1000 00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:29,319 Speaker 2: don't how much margin for error a rivalry game, and 1001 00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:32,600 Speaker 2: it's own right. This rivalry has produced some insane results 1002 00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,239 Speaker 2: in years past. By the way, and I'll tell you 1003 00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:38,759 Speaker 2: another matchup. If you're into the coaching matchup thing. I 1004 00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:40,640 Speaker 2: told you last week a lot of folks behind the 1005 00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:45,600 Speaker 2: scenes were interested in watching Oregon's assistance versus Ohio State's assistance. 1006 00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:50,560 Speaker 2: Blake Baker versus Bobby Petrino. Here that's LSU's defensive coordinator 1007 00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:52,680 Speaker 2: versus Arkansas's offensive coordinator. 1008 00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:54,440 Speaker 1: Really fun matchup. 1009 00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,640 Speaker 2: I think this is similar to Miami, honestly, but just 1010 00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:00,680 Speaker 2: insert LSU. So if LSU is more than just a 1011 00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:04,800 Speaker 2: pretty good team, if LSU's more than just a spotty team, 1012 00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:07,520 Speaker 2: they'll go in here and their strengths will overcome the 1013 00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:10,000 Speaker 2: dynamics of the game and they'll find a way to 1014 00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,640 Speaker 2: win this game. And I think LSU is a team 1015 00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:14,640 Speaker 2: that has that capability. Colon, Let's take a look at 1016 00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:16,520 Speaker 2: what the model thinks, because this is going to be 1017 00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:19,040 Speaker 2: really interesting. So LSU's favored by two and a half 1018 00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:21,840 Speaker 2: in this game. The model thinks the wrong team is favored. 1019 00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:25,360 Speaker 2: The model thinks the overall points spread is five points 1020 00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:29,040 Speaker 2: off what it should be, and it crosses zero. The 1021 00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:33,279 Speaker 2: model has Arkansas winning and favored by two and a half. 1022 00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:36,719 Speaker 2: By the way, if we have a healthy tailing Green, 1023 00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:40,239 Speaker 2: and I'm going to assume we do, I think that 1024 00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:43,080 Speaker 2: he'll be mobile enough, and I think he'll be able 1025 00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:47,400 Speaker 2: to match points and match throws enough against this LSU defense. 1026 00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:50,200 Speaker 2: With what Garrett Nussmeyer puts up that, I think I 1027 00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:52,400 Speaker 2: think some I think some hog magic will be on 1028 00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,840 Speaker 2: display up there in northwest Arkansas. I think we end 1029 00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:56,960 Speaker 2: up getting a really happy Trey bitty walk and talk 1030 00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,400 Speaker 2: after the game. I think Arkansas is gonna find a 1031 00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,279 Speaker 2: way in an absolute knife fight to pull this out 1032 00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:06,680 Speaker 2: and win this game. And if they do, then good 1033 00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:08,480 Speaker 2: for the JP pole for having them rated when the 1034 00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:11,600 Speaker 2: AP wouldn't do it. And number two, the Arkansas conversation 1035 00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:14,359 Speaker 2: becomes kind of sort of low key real because they'll 1036 00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:16,319 Speaker 2: be five and two and you know what, if I'm 1037 00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:19,560 Speaker 2: wrong and LSU wins, well, then the LSU conversation really 1038 00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:22,719 Speaker 2: gets ramped up because this is a game where if 1039 00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,799 Speaker 2: LSU wins it, the public probably won't respect. 1040 00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:26,680 Speaker 1: It a whole lot. I will. 1041 00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:29,879 Speaker 2: I will, like the canals of the world will say, oh, 1042 00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:31,960 Speaker 2: there goes someone getting too much credit for going to 1043 00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,759 Speaker 2: beating an average Arkansas team. Well, the thing about it 1044 00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:39,839 Speaker 2: is they're not average yet you beating them added a 1045 00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,960 Speaker 2: loss on their resume and made them appear more average. 1046 00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,200 Speaker 2: But that was because of what you dealt out to them. 1047 00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:47,319 Speaker 2: I'll deal with canal off the air. The point is 1048 00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,000 Speaker 2: huge pivot moment for both of these teams this year. 1049 00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:52,479 Speaker 1: What do we have? Man? 1050 00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:57,040 Speaker 2: How about that nice brisk pace tonight? I'm gonna take 1051 00:50:57,080 --> 00:51:00,359 Speaker 2: one time out from predicting games. That's why one more 1052 00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:03,360 Speaker 2: prediction to come and I've got three added best bets 1053 00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:05,560 Speaker 2: coming up in a second. But you know what we 1054 00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:08,680 Speaker 2: haven't done in a while is I haven't looked at 1055 00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:12,840 Speaker 2: the inbox or I haven't looked at my mentions and said, yeah, Colin, 1056 00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:15,759 Speaker 2: I want you to screenshot that tweet. I want to 1057 00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:19,279 Speaker 2: talk about it tonight, but with challice in hand, and 1058 00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:23,160 Speaker 2: I'm gonna probably finish this off here. We had something 1059 00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:26,200 Speaker 2: that I ignored Sunday, but I cannot ignore it anymore. 1060 00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:36,640 Speaker 2: So Colin, show me the Ryan Day tweet. I'm just 1061 00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:39,520 Speaker 2: composing myself. Don't worry about the silence I'm just just 1062 00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:44,920 Speaker 2: gathering my thoughts here. I know your name is not 1063 00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:47,239 Speaker 2: Burt Macklin, but you hit me up anyway, and you said, 1064 00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:50,399 Speaker 2: are you done defending Ryan Day after he lost yet 1065 00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:56,160 Speaker 2: again versus a top five team? You know me, You 1066 00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:58,279 Speaker 2: know that I'm probably one of the last to pun 1067 00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:01,120 Speaker 2: on some of these guys. What are we talking about 1068 00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,640 Speaker 2: right now? Am I done defending Ryan Day? 1069 00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:03,919 Speaker 1: Well? 1070 00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:06,560 Speaker 2: My defensive Ryan Day has sounded a little something like this. 1071 00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:08,640 Speaker 2: I think he's one of the better head coaches in 1072 00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:11,359 Speaker 2: the country. I think he is uniquely qualified and well 1073 00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:15,160 Speaker 2: cut out for the job. He has, So if that's 1074 00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:18,560 Speaker 2: defending him, yeah, I guess I'm still going to defend 1075 00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:21,480 Speaker 2: him even after he lost. I was there, Burt Macklin, 1076 00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:24,839 Speaker 2: I was there, I stood right there. I watched him. 1077 00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:28,120 Speaker 1: I watched him fall short against Oregon. 1078 00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:30,600 Speaker 2: I think what I saw is them lose a one 1079 00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:32,560 Speaker 2: point game against what I think is the top five 1080 00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,279 Speaker 2: team in the toughest environment I've been in so far 1081 00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:38,719 Speaker 2: this year. I think that's what I watched, not exactly 1082 00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:42,719 Speaker 2: grounds to hit the dump button and just take the 1083 00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:44,880 Speaker 2: floor out from beneath someone's feet. At least, that's not 1084 00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:47,879 Speaker 2: how I view the game or the sport. So I'm 1085 00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:48,839 Speaker 2: all in on Ryan Day. 1086 00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:49,120 Speaker 1: Still. 1087 00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:51,239 Speaker 2: I'm all in on Ryan Day as the head coach 1088 00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:54,640 Speaker 2: at Ohio State because of how close they are. Now, 1089 00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,200 Speaker 2: Ohio State fans or anyone else could come back at 1090 00:52:57,200 --> 00:53:00,239 Speaker 2: me and you could say, what do you what are 1091 00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:02,960 Speaker 2: you still all in on Ryan Day for how close 1092 00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:03,359 Speaker 2: they are? 1093 00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:05,359 Speaker 1: What are you talking about? We're Ohio State. 1094 00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:08,200 Speaker 2: We don't just want to be close, we want to win. Well, 1095 00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:10,279 Speaker 2: I never said you just want to be close. You 1096 00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:12,920 Speaker 2: misunderstood what I'm saying. I said I'm all in on 1097 00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:16,480 Speaker 2: Ryan Day because of how close. They've been for a while, Josh, 1098 00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:19,160 Speaker 2: that doesn't prove anything. Though they're close. How does that 1099 00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:22,680 Speaker 2: prove he can win something? Well, it doesn't, It doesn't. 1100 00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:25,160 Speaker 2: I think he can win something. I think he could 1101 00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:28,880 Speaker 2: win a national title. I don't have proof, because how 1102 00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:32,120 Speaker 2: could you have proof under those pretenses until he's holding 1103 00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:34,399 Speaker 2: the trophy, we don't have proof, right Like I think 1104 00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:36,880 Speaker 2: Landing could win one, I don't have proof that he 1105 00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:39,200 Speaker 2: could do it. I thought for a long time Kirby 1106 00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:41,680 Speaker 2: Smart could win one. And by the way, folks down 1107 00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:44,240 Speaker 2: south were telling me he couldn't win the big one. 1108 00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:49,319 Speaker 2: The whole Ryan day Kirby Smart correlations fascinating. We's no 1109 00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:51,879 Speaker 2: one out there has the stones to admit they used 1110 00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:54,239 Speaker 2: to run their mouth about Kirby Smart. Kirby Smart gets 1111 00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:58,359 Speaker 2: to Georgia in twenty sixteen and seventeen eighteen, nineteen twenty. 1112 00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:00,840 Speaker 2: He keeps on running into Allah Obama. He keeps on 1113 00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,759 Speaker 2: losing to Bama, and folks keep on saying, man, he 1114 00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:04,560 Speaker 2: just can't. 1115 00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:07,720 Speaker 1: Win the big one, like Mark Rick two point zero. 1116 00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:11,080 Speaker 2: I swear to you, there was this graphic that kept 1117 00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:15,200 Speaker 2: circulating Southern football circles, and it was a versus b 1118 00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:17,880 Speaker 2: whose resume is better. And it was Rick and Kirby, 1119 00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:21,480 Speaker 2: and they were allegedly the same person, and then something happened. 1120 00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,879 Speaker 2: He rattled off two national titles in a row, and 1121 00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:25,480 Speaker 2: no one. 1122 00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:26,280 Speaker 1: Says that anymore. 1123 00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:28,160 Speaker 2: And the thing about it is he didn't do it 1124 00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:29,760 Speaker 2: in the first two or three years of his career. 1125 00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:31,839 Speaker 2: It took a few years. So Ryan Days in year 1126 00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:34,640 Speaker 2: six of his head coaching career at Ohio State right now, 1127 00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:37,520 Speaker 2: and he's gotten really close a lot and hasn't gotten 1128 00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:41,279 Speaker 2: over the finish line. And so you look at me, 1129 00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:43,319 Speaker 2: and I know you do, because I've been reading all 1130 00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:45,000 Speaker 2: this in advance and doing the segment tonight, and you 1131 00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:48,319 Speaker 2: keep saying, man, well, him being closed, that's not what 1132 00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:49,799 Speaker 2: we want to do here. That doesn't prove he can 1133 00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:51,920 Speaker 2: win anything. Well, to me, it proves you got the 1134 00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,759 Speaker 2: right head coach. And the reason I think that is 1135 00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:58,160 Speaker 2: because the wrong head coach doesn't have a program in 1136 00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:01,640 Speaker 2: the position Ohio State's in half a dozen years into 1137 00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:02,240 Speaker 2: his career. 1138 00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:04,640 Speaker 1: There he could benefit. 1139 00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:07,520 Speaker 2: Off the wake of somebody else's success for a while, 1140 00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:10,799 Speaker 2: but eventually the program becomes his, and if he's not 1141 00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:14,359 Speaker 2: the real deal, the program will regress and you will 1142 00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:16,160 Speaker 2: not be nipping on the heels of the best teams 1143 00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:18,600 Speaker 2: in the country and the best programs in the country. Now, 1144 00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,120 Speaker 2: there are some things I think they lack, like I 1145 00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:23,520 Speaker 2: don't think they have the killer instinct of the Michigan 1146 00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:27,279 Speaker 2: teams they played recently, or a vintage Alabama or a Georgia. 1147 00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:30,520 Speaker 2: That's a short list, guys, that's a short list. So 1148 00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:32,840 Speaker 2: there's a whole lot further to fall down that ladder 1149 00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:35,000 Speaker 2: than there is room to climb. I'm not telling you 1150 00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:36,880 Speaker 2: he's on top of anything. I'm not telling you this 1151 00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:39,279 Speaker 2: program has been on top of anything. I'm telling you 1152 00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:41,760 Speaker 2: that they don't own the line of scrimmage like they should. 1153 00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:46,040 Speaker 2: I think part of that is developmental more so than 1154 00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:49,120 Speaker 2: it is talent acquisition. So that's something that he can address. 1155 00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,440 Speaker 2: That's a tangible thing that I don't think they're good 1156 00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:53,279 Speaker 2: enough in doing. I don't think that team has a 1157 00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:56,720 Speaker 2: killer instinct. I don't think they play with the supreme 1158 00:55:56,840 --> 00:56:00,520 Speaker 2: level of physicality and owning the game, running the ball 1159 00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:03,680 Speaker 2: to the degree that an Ohio State team should given 1160 00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:07,080 Speaker 2: the talent profile they have. These are tangible things that 1161 00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:09,680 Speaker 2: they sometimes disappoint me in the category of so that 1162 00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:13,360 Speaker 2: ultimately falls on the head coach. We are talking about 1163 00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:16,239 Speaker 2: splitting hairs here because the bottom line is all that 1164 00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:18,719 Speaker 2: stuff about this year's team could be the same. They 1165 00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:20,960 Speaker 2: could have gone to Oregon and won last year. And 1166 00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:22,960 Speaker 2: if this team hits a field goal against Georgia a 1167 00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:25,400 Speaker 2: couple of years ago and wins a title, it's national 1168 00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:28,400 Speaker 2: title winning head coach Ryan Day And none of this 1169 00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:31,920 Speaker 2: is being said about him. And it's insane because he's 1170 00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:35,040 Speaker 2: the exact same coach scenario A versus scenario B. His 1171 00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,880 Speaker 2: trophy case just looks different because the ball's shaped in 1172 00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:41,440 Speaker 2: very weird ways, and bounces happen and this and that happens. 1173 00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:44,279 Speaker 2: And I think Mick Saban ruined this game for a 1174 00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,440 Speaker 2: lot of you because a lot of you watched what 1175 00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:49,920 Speaker 2: Sabin did at Alabama and that became your standard. Like 1176 00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:52,400 Speaker 2: you think that's supposed to be real, that's supposed to 1177 00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:55,360 Speaker 2: be obtainable. What Sabin did at Alabama is not supposed 1178 00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:57,560 Speaker 2: to happen the way it's supposed to work. If you 1179 00:56:57,600 --> 00:56:59,840 Speaker 2: have one of the best head coaches in America, is 1180 00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:03,160 Speaker 2: he get you in the conversation every year and on 1181 00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:06,120 Speaker 2: average once every decade. 1182 00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:08,560 Speaker 1: You should be able to reach, reach, reach. Oh I 1183 00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:12,760 Speaker 1: grabbed the belt. Yes, I got one. On average. Prior 1184 00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:16,400 Speaker 1: to Nick Saban, the best in the history of this sport. 1185 00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:20,360 Speaker 2: If their career span, you know, fifteen twenty years, you 1186 00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:22,960 Speaker 2: just average them out, they may win you a couple 1187 00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:24,880 Speaker 2: of titles. 1188 00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:27,240 Speaker 1: Over their entire career. That's a good career. 1189 00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:30,640 Speaker 2: You coach fifteen years and win two titles, you're a legend. 1190 00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:33,600 Speaker 2: Then Saban comes along and hangs half a dozen, and 1191 00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:36,720 Speaker 2: you think if you're not there every year. Wait, we 1192 00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:40,400 Speaker 2: got to really rethink how we're running this program. Well, 1193 00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:42,360 Speaker 2: rethink Ohio State football right now? 1194 00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:43,400 Speaker 1: Do it? 1195 00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:45,840 Speaker 2: Like, respond to me in the comment section here, you 1196 00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:47,720 Speaker 2: tell me what you do to overhaul it. 1197 00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:49,520 Speaker 1: I'm going to ask you a brief favor. 1198 00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:52,080 Speaker 2: By the way, for all of you questioning Ryan Day 1199 00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:54,280 Speaker 2: and questioning the medal of this program, could you do 1200 00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:56,760 Speaker 2: me one favor. Could you allow me to see how 1201 00:57:56,760 --> 00:58:01,080 Speaker 2: this season plays out best? I could tell it's October fifteenth. 1202 00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:04,080 Speaker 2: They just lost a game by one to a team 1203 00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:06,480 Speaker 2: that will be there in the end in Oregon. They 1204 00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:08,720 Speaker 2: lost it on the road. I couldn't hear the person 1205 00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:10,440 Speaker 2: standing next to me on the sideline. 1206 00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:13,120 Speaker 1: Do you mind if I just see how they do. 1207 00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:16,360 Speaker 2: The rest of the way before we question the general 1208 00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:18,920 Speaker 2: in the middle of the battle, do you mind just 1209 00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:21,480 Speaker 2: for my own sake, I ano the rest of you 1210 00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:23,320 Speaker 2: may have your mind made up. Can I please just 1211 00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:26,520 Speaker 2: see how the season plays out, and then come December 1212 00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:30,680 Speaker 2: or preferably January, I'll be happy to revisit this. I 1213 00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:34,840 Speaker 2: doubt my tone changes a whole lot, but yeah, the 1214 00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:37,360 Speaker 2: answer is I'm still defending Ryan Day because I still 1215 00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:41,440 Speaker 2: think he is, like slam Dunk, the right guy for 1216 00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:45,720 Speaker 2: the job. FanDuel exclusively provides the odds on this program, 1217 00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:47,600 Speaker 2: and I've got some best bets and another game to 1218 00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:49,200 Speaker 2: break down. So this is not the end of the show. 1219 00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:53,080 Speaker 2: I know what the accusation is gonna be, Jesse. The 1220 00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:55,959 Speaker 2: accusation is gonna be we're carrying water for Ryan Day. 1221 00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:56,600 Speaker 1: Now. 1222 00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:59,840 Speaker 2: What's funny about that is the further away you get 1223 00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:02,640 Speaker 2: the situation. Like if I were to go find a 1224 00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:04,760 Speaker 2: Green Bay Packers fan who doesn't watch a lot of 1225 00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:08,000 Speaker 2: college football and I introduce them to the facts of 1226 00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:11,360 Speaker 2: the case, they would say, why'd you waste time on 1227 00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:11,720 Speaker 2: the show? 1228 00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:15,120 Speaker 1: Like you're just stating common sense. Little do they know? 1229 00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:18,600 Speaker 2: Little do they know what awaits me in my inbox 1230 00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:22,400 Speaker 2: every time I talk about Ohio State? So anyway, Fanduels 1231 00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:25,000 Speaker 2: in on it too, Fanduels carrying water for Ohio State. 1232 00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:26,520 Speaker 2: They still got them among the favorites to win the 1233 00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:30,440 Speaker 2: national title. Idiots, what do they know?

By the way, I got three added best 1267 01:00:57,040 --> 01:01:00,280 Speaker 2: bets tonight, and I have got to be honest of you. 1268 01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:05,720 Speaker 2: This first one was tough because we bet them last 1269 01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:09,280 Speaker 2: week and we got our hearts ripped out. Van Pelt 1270 01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:11,720 Speaker 2: and Stanford Steve did a great job of chronicling that 1271 01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:14,640 Speaker 2: in bad beats, But we are going right back to 1272 01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:17,000 Speaker 2: the well with ball State or Ball's Tate, depending on 1273 01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:19,280 Speaker 2: how you want to pronounce it. Ball State plus twenty 1274 01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:21,120 Speaker 2: six and a half. They are coming to Nashville. They're 1275 01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:24,040 Speaker 2: playing Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt is in a double due down spot, 1276 01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:26,520 Speaker 2: in a look ahead spot. I just cannot, for the 1277 01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:29,320 Speaker 2: life of me see them running away from ball State. Well, 1278 01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:31,520 Speaker 2: I could, but I don't think it'll happen. So ball 1279 01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:34,360 Speaker 2: State plus twenty six and a half. We're taking Florida 1280 01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:36,720 Speaker 2: plus one and a half against Kentucky. Model thinks the 1281 01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:40,520 Speaker 2: wrong team is favored there, Lagways getting the start. I 1282 01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:43,440 Speaker 2: do not think Florida has mailed it in yet. I 1283 01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:45,200 Speaker 2: think there's still a lot of life to that team, 1284 01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:47,520 Speaker 2: and I think they will beat Kentucky. And they're being 1285 01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:50,800 Speaker 2: given one and a half points at home, and Texas 1286 01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:53,800 Speaker 2: minus three and a half is best bet. I'm confident 1287 01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:56,120 Speaker 2: in Texas this week. I don't care if everyone else. 1288 01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:58,880 Speaker 1: Is as well.

Question, last time most of us watched Missouri, 1316 01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:37,240 Speaker 2: it was when they were on the road at A 1317 01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:39,280 Speaker 2: and M. They got blown out. Now they since it 1318 01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:42,080 Speaker 2: played U Mass and they righted the ship. You see 1319 01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:44,680 Speaker 2: you see Missouri walking into that locker rooms like watching 1320 01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:46,160 Speaker 2: a team walking in a high school locker room. It 1321 01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:49,800 Speaker 2: is utterly amazing. Missouri playing a road game at UMass 1322 01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:55,520 Speaker 2: is war crime, drugs. So they were at an M. 1323 01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:57,840 Speaker 2: Last time you probably watched them and they got blown out. 1324 01:03:58,040 --> 01:04:01,000 Speaker 2: How much of that was for real? How much of 1325 01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:04,000 Speaker 2: that was a mirage and just A and M clicking 1326 01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:08,560 Speaker 2: on all the right cylinders versus Missouri being exposed because 1327 01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:10,760 Speaker 2: they got out played in every facet. It wasn't flucish 1328 01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:15,080 Speaker 2: at all. Auburn, you know the story with them. They're 1329 01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:19,240 Speaker 2: a good team masquerading as a bad team because of turnovers, 1330 01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:21,600 Speaker 2: which makes them a bad team. If you could ever 1331 01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:24,200 Speaker 2: erase the turnovers and take everything else as is, they'd 1332 01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:26,960 Speaker 2: be a good team. It's all about what Auburn should 1333 01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:29,840 Speaker 2: be able to do in this game. Should I wrote 1334 01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:31,880 Speaker 2: it in all caps on the piece of paper in 1335 01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:34,800 Speaker 2: front of me. Auburn should be able to rely on 1336 01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:37,120 Speaker 2: Jarquez Hunter. They should be able to run the ball 1337 01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:40,640 Speaker 2: on anybody fairly effectively. They should be able to take 1338 01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:43,000 Speaker 2: Hunter and do the same thing that A and m 1339 01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:44,760 Speaker 2: was able to lean on Le'Veon. 1340 01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:44,960 Speaker 1: Moss to do. 1341 01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:49,000 Speaker 2: That should be a situation that Auburn could count on. 1342 01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:52,600 Speaker 2: Missouri is thirty eighth against the run, not elite there, 1343 01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:55,560 Speaker 2: Auburn should be able to do something. Peyton Thorn has 1344 01:04:55,600 --> 01:05:00,160 Speaker 2: good weapons around him. Peyton Thorn through for someho how 1345 01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:03,520 Speaker 2: his best yardage day against the best defense he's faced. 1346 01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:06,080 Speaker 2: He threw for three point thirty eight against Oklahoma. How 1347 01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:06,680 Speaker 2: they lose? 1348 01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:08,560 Speaker 1: Turnover? Pick six? 1349 01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:12,680 Speaker 2: Turnover Like the answer to anything bad that's happened to 1350 01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:17,520 Speaker 2: Auburn this year, turnover or turnovers plural, so, Brady Cook. 1351 01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:19,720 Speaker 2: So that's the Auburn side of things, Like, Auburn should 1352 01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:23,360 Speaker 2: be able to have success offensively. I've never said the 1353 01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:26,520 Speaker 2: words should with more trepidation in my life. Brady Cook 1354 01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:30,560 Speaker 2: feels off to me. Still, there are rumblings that he's 1355 01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:32,400 Speaker 2: not one hundred percent physically. I don't think he's one 1356 01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:33,280 Speaker 2: hundred percent physically. 1357 01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:35,439 Speaker 1: Jesse. Remember we were at the A and M game. 1358 01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:37,200 Speaker 1: I took producer Jesse on the road. 1359 01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:39,480 Speaker 2: By the way, I was standing next to him, and 1360 01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:41,880 Speaker 2: I kept on looking at Missouri's bench, and I look 1361 01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:45,200 Speaker 2: at the way Brady Cook just carries himself. He looked comfortable. 1362 01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:48,120 Speaker 2: He doesn't look one hundred percent healthy. He's given it 1363 01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:51,040 Speaker 2: everything he's got. I'm not questioning his effort. Quite the opposite. 1364 01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:54,720 Speaker 2: I'm praising his effort. But if you're hurt, you're hurt. 1365 01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:57,600 Speaker 2: Or if you're limited, you're limited. And the reason that 1366 01:05:57,640 --> 01:06:01,920 Speaker 2: matters is because I love Theoese. I love having Luther Burden. 1367 01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:03,640 Speaker 2: If I don't have a quarterback that I can count 1368 01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:06,080 Speaker 2: on to be accurate and take advantage of those guys, 1369 01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:09,840 Speaker 2: I don't think that Auburn, nor do I think A 1370 01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:12,000 Speaker 2: and M really is going to respect your ability to 1371 01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:15,600 Speaker 2: go downfield on them, and that really condenses the field 1372 01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:18,240 Speaker 2: and makes it a lot harder for you to do 1373 01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:20,440 Speaker 2: what you've been able to do. See Missouri when they've 1374 01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:22,320 Speaker 2: been at their best, they have a running back like 1375 01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:25,920 Speaker 2: Cody Schrader, and they're able to rip off explosive plays 1376 01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:29,760 Speaker 2: on the ground, which opens up everything else. Noel Carroll like, 1377 01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:32,600 Speaker 2: do they have that kind of day here against Auburn? 1378 01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:35,080 Speaker 2: I don't know that they will because I don't think 1379 01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:36,800 Speaker 2: the field, I don't think the box will open up 1380 01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:38,960 Speaker 2: enough for him to do it. If it does, that 1381 01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:41,560 Speaker 2: gets plenty of one on ones against an Auburn secondary 1382 01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:43,000 Speaker 2: that's green and can be had. 1383 01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:45,080 Speaker 1: So that's a huge turning point in this game. 1384 01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:48,400 Speaker 2: Missouri's off back to back road games, Auburn's off a bye. 1385 01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:53,240 Speaker 2: If either team honestly self scouts itself, you got to 1386 01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:55,880 Speaker 2: be left asking why aren't we running the ball more effectively? 1387 01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:57,680 Speaker 1: Why aren't we running at more period? 1388 01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:00,840 Speaker 2: So I've sucked on total this year, but I take 1389 01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:02,720 Speaker 2: the under on this game at fifty one and a half. 1390 01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:04,880 Speaker 2: But I've got another lean on this game, so I'm 1391 01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:06,800 Speaker 2: not messing with the total. Colin, Let's take a look 1392 01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:10,640 Speaker 2: at what the model thinks. Because FanDuel thinks Missouri should 1393 01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:13,680 Speaker 2: be favored by five and a half. We have disagreed 1394 01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:15,919 Speaker 2: all week. We got Missouri minus three and a half 1395 01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:18,320 Speaker 2: on the model. We took Auburn plus six and a 1396 01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:20,640 Speaker 2: half earlier in the week as one of our best bets. 1397 01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:23,240 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go step further. I think Auburn finds a 1398 01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:25,400 Speaker 2: way to edge out Missouri and just win. 1399 01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:26,360 Speaker 1: The game outright. 1400 01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:28,360 Speaker 2: And what a turning point that would be for Hugh 1401 01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:30,720 Speaker 2: Freeze if he was able to do it. But just 1402 01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:33,600 Speaker 2: in case, FanDuel gave us six and a half points, 1403 01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:35,720 Speaker 2: they're still giving us five and a half points. I 1404 01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:37,960 Speaker 2: still like the number at five and a half. Anything 1405 01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:40,440 Speaker 2: above three I like, and I don't think it'll get 1406 01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:43,200 Speaker 2: all the way down to three. Oh my goodness, what 1407 01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:47,920 Speaker 2: a disgusting stat Director Colin throws up here the worst 1408 01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:52,760 Speaker 2: records in SEC play since twenty twenty two. Vandy is 1409 01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:57,480 Speaker 2: four and fifteen, Auburn is five and fourteen. Arkansas has 1410 01:07:57,520 --> 01:08:00,000 Speaker 2: been better than Auburn. Oh man, Well, there's some rough 1411 01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:02,640 Speaker 2: times baked into that. Okay, Well, what better time to 1412 01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:06,240 Speaker 2: turn it around than when I pick you. That's always 1413 01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:07,800 Speaker 2: the best time to win when we pick you on 1414 01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:11,080 Speaker 2: the show. Appreciate you guys for watching.
