I 27 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 6: think there. 28 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 7: I think there's real excitement for the Irish home today. 29 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 5: Man. 30 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true, Live Home Dog Live. 31 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 4: But Man, Ohio State is a little feisty given Notre 32 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 4: dame problems in the past over here, But. 33 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 3: Let's start with that. 34 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 4: You know, like of all these games here, that is 35 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 4: the matchup of the day, number six Ohio State against 36 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 4: number nine Notre Dame. So many different things to watch. 37 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 4: I think the quarterback matchup is fantastic. Sam Hartman has 38 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 4: more career passing touchdowns than Kyle McCord has career attempts. Yeah, 39 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 4: that's unbelievable to me. But look, man, experience does mean everything. 40 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 4: It could mean a lot in this game. But I 41 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 4: think that's one of the things I want to see. 42 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 4: Can Notre Dame slow down the running game? Can the 43 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 4: pass rush put some heat on Kyle McCord and force 44 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 4: his hand and then maybe in turn he makes a 45 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 4: couple of bad decisions. I think that from Notre Dame's 46 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 4: defensive standpoint is huge today huge. 47 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 6: Yeah. 48 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 7: Yeah, Well, we're gonna find out if Kyle McCord can 49 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 7: really truly fill in for CJ. 50 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 6: Stroud. 51 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 7: We haven't yet seen it against great competition. We haven't 52 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 7: yet seen the Buckeyes be challenged in a great way. 53 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 7: But they have one of the best receiving course, we 54 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 7: know this in the country. They just have an untested 55 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 7: quantity at quarterback, and we know how how this game goes. 56 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 7: When you have the more veteran experienced quarterback who's seen 57 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 7: you know, more close games, who's lived on the edge 58 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 7: of victory or you know, has dabbled with you know, 59 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 7: heartbreaking defeat, you kind of understand how these games go 60 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 7: a little bit more, especially these big games. Sam Hartman's 61 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 7: been here, He's done this, you know, maybe not at 62 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 7: this level, but he's done this before. And so I'm 63 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 7: very excited to see how, you know, a less experienced 64 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 7: quarterback handles the stage. Ohio State has a habit of quarterbacks, 65 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 7: doesn't matter who they put in there having success and 66 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 7: and and and really filling the shoes well of the 67 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 7: quarterback who's just departed them via the draft or otherwise 68 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 7: it's Kyle McCord's turn. 69 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 6: This is the big one here. 70 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm curious the ticketing situation, Brian, Maybe you can 71 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 8: offer a little more insight into this because I've heard 72 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 8: it's changed because in prior years Ohio State and I 73 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 8: have heard that they do want to get a lot 74 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 8: of Ohio State fans into I mean, they travel great. 75 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 8: Obviously it's a close game at proximity. But I heard 76 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,119 Speaker 8: originally maybe twenty thousand Ohio State fans in this game, 77 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 8: but now perhaps less because of this new ticketing administrative thing. 78 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 8: But so that's just a little caveat to keep in 79 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 8: mind when you're watching this game. 80 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 5: How much Red is in the stands. I don't think 81 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 5: it will matter. 82 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 8: Because I think the environment will still be pretty Notre 83 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 8: Dame pro. But it could make for a little bit 84 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 8: of an easier time form accord with the signal calls 85 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 8: and all that stuff, if it's not as raucous as 86 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 8: it normally would. But when I looked into his numbers, guys, 87 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 8: the one thing that really stood out to me through 88 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 8: the first three games, now again the competition Youngstown State, 89 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 8: Western Kentucky, Indiana. Those are three teams Ohio State's played 90 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 8: com accord is eleven for twenty nine on throws ten 91 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 8: or more yards down the field, with three turnover worthy plays. 92 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 8: And that's with Marvin Harrison Junior and probably the best 93 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 8: wide receiver group in the country. And again that's against Indiana, 94 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 8: Youngstown State, Western Kentucky. That ain't gonna fly today. They 95 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,039 Speaker 8: need to figure out a way to get him to 96 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 8: push the ball down the field better. Now, on the 97 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 8: other side, Hartman's been I mean, he's looked the part, 98 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 8: and I'll be honest, I think the more impressive guy 99 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 8: in the Notre Dame backfield has been Estimate. I mean, 100 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 8: he leads the league, leads the country in rushing. So 101 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 8: there's some interesting unlike prior years. And we heard it 102 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 8: this week with Marcus Freeman when he came out there 103 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 8: in the press conference and you could see the enthusiasm 104 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 8: because last year when they played this game, they were 105 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 8: just praying to stay in it, and they did for 106 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 8: a while, but then Ohio State kind of, you know, 107 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,799 Speaker 8: flex their muscle in the fourth quarter and pulled away. 108 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 8: But this year, it's obvious that Marcus Freeman and company 109 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 8: feel like they should and could win this game, even 110 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 8: though they are an underdog. 111 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 5: And I think those two quarterbacks, I. 112 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 8: Mean which quarterback Is it the experienced one that's got 113 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 8: all the poise or is it the young buck that's 114 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 8: trying to come up and snatch this job and snatch 115 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 8: the country's attention here. 116 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 5: But this is gonna be a really good matchup today. 117 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 6: Yeah. 118 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 4: The first thing is my voice sucks today. 119 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 5: You're gonna lose it even more after tonight. 120 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 3: Yeah right, it's gonna be completely gone after today. 121 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 5: But good luck to the show tomorrow. 122 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 4: Yeah right, I got a few vocal it's going right now. 123 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 4: But the first thing you talked about, Jared was the 124 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 4: opposing fans in the stands, right, and so Notre Dame 125 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 4: they've made a concerted effort to avoid what happened in 126 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 4: twenty seventeen. So they faced Georgia and it was just 127 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 4: a swarm, a sea of red. Just Georgia fans took 128 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 4: over the stadium. Why and so Notre Dame was like, 129 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 4: we do not want this to happen again. So the 130 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 4: deal is Ohio State only gets five thousand tickets. That's 131 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 4: their allotment. Now, the thing to keep in mind is 132 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 4: Notre Dame their season ticket holders. It only accounts for 133 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 4: forty five percent of the entire crowd, including the student section, 134 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 4: which is very low. It's normally around like eighty five percent. 135 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 4: So you only have about forty five percent, including the 136 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 4: student section that are season ticket holders. So what they've 137 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 4: done they've tried to shrink the allotment of tickets for 138 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 4: opposing fans, and they've tried to sort of tell their 139 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 4: fan base like, hey, we kind of need you, you know, 140 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 4: we don't need you just selling to these unwashed Ohio 141 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 4: State fans over you know what I mean. They might 142 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 4: have put it in different terms there, but uh yeah, 143 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 4: but there's only so much they can do if these 144 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 4: Notre Dame fans want to sell their tickets. 145 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 5: I guess there there's gonna be a lot of scarlet. 146 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 3: Greg There could be a lot of scarlet, could be comody. 147 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 5: And yeah, the way they travel. 148 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 3: Yeah they travel. 149 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 4: They got deep pockets, you know they I don't think 150 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 4: it's gonna be like the Georgia game. 151 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 3: And the other thing they've done. 152 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 4: Instead of giving them a section, they've tried to spread 153 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 4: them around like the top put them in the. 154 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 8: Top bro the nosebleed section. They do that now a lot. 155 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 8: They're so the college football it's so petty with it. 156 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 8: We'll get to when we get to the Bama Ole 157 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 8: Miss game. But a lot of the back and forth 158 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 8: during the week is just so funny with the off 159 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 8: field pettiness that goes on with these games. 160 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 4: There's no doubt about it. But the other thing you 161 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 4: hit on I like Jared are the big plays. Yeah, 162 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 4: and you saw one last week for Ohio State. McCord 163 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 4: hooked up with Marvin Harrison Junior for a long pass 164 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 4: play against Western Kentucky. Want to see if they can 165 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 4: do that today against Notre Dame. Notre Dame's got to 166 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 4: limit the big plays by the same token, right, same thing. 167 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 3: With Ohio State. 168 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 4: If you look at Ohio State last year, that's what 169 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 4: really caught him was in those bigger games against Michigan 170 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 4: and Georgia, Ohio State allowed eight gains of at. 171 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 3: Least forty five yards. 172 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 4: So, Kim Sam Hartman, can he dial up a couple 173 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 4: of big plays? Audric Estime, you mentioned that too, Jared 174 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 4: eighty yard touchdown run against NC State. He's been a 175 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 4: big play guy, So I think that's a big factor 176 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 4: for Ohio State. Can you limit the big plays, because look, man, 177 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 4: that just juices the stadium, which will be predominantly Notre 178 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 4: Dame even more well. 179 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 7: The best way to limit big plays is by putting 180 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 7: on a great pass rush and that's something that Ohio 181 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 7: State is ranked at the tippy top and all of 182 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 7: Power five football. This group of four rushers, they have 183 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 7: Michael Hall junior, Jack Sawyer to Leake Williams and I 184 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 7: call him jay Tt. I mean, they'll all be drafted 185 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 7: one day, there's no question about it. And they've they've 186 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 7: been astonishingly successful against run as well. They're they're holding 187 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 7: teams they face to under three yards per attempt. It's 188 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 7: closer to two yards per attempt. And so Hartman's grade, 189 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 7: when when he's good and upright and standing tall in 190 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 7: the pocket, is high. I mean, it's one of the 191 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 7: highest in the country. But when he's under pressure, Sam 192 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 7: Harton folds up like a cheap suit. And and I 193 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 7: know he's a young guy still, and he's got a 194 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 7: lot to learn at the college level, and he'll have 195 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 7: an NFL career ahead of him of some sort, and 196 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 7: he's adding to the resume here. But he's got to 197 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 7: show that he's getting better under pressure. So this game 198 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 7: comes down to Notre Dame's offensive line being able to 199 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 7: handle those four horsemen across the ball in the Scarlet 200 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 7: and Gray. If they have a hard time of it, 201 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 7: Sam Hartman will have a hard time of it, and 202 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:03,839 Speaker 7: this could be one of those games. 203 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 6: And then vice versa. 204 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 7: You look at Notre Dame defensively, if you have any 205 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 7: shot of getting this win and sailing to a victory, 206 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 7: it's putting a tremendous amount of pressure on Colm Record, 207 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 7: force him into a few costly mistakes, and you'll be 208 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 7: able to secure the victory. 209 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 6: I'm curious. 210 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 7: I'm curious which side does better, but I think it 211 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 7: comes down to the pass rush in this one. 212 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm just I pulled up. 213 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 8: I didn't know about Hartman's numbers, pressure and clean, and 214 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 8: you're right, Rich, I mean there's a pretty I mean 215 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 8: there's most quarterbacks, there's a pretty big disparity. Turnover worthy 216 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 8: play percentage goes way up, and just he's not as accurate, 217 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 8: he's not as not as efficient when under pressure, and 218 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 8: there's a pretty big drop off there. And we saw 219 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 8: it a little bit against NC State, and NC State's 220 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 8: got a defense, I can get into you a little bit. 221 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 5: Gave up four sacks in that game. 222 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 8: And I think the Notre Dame offensive line, we know 223 00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 8: how good Joe Alt is. It's kind of like they've 224 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 8: got the best left tackle in the country perhaps, and 225 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 8: then the rest of the offensive line is I would 226 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 8: say a little bit underperforming through the first three four weeks. 227 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 5: And that's where Ohio State's defense we don't talk about. 228 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 8: You know, we usually focus on the quarterback, especially with 229 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 8: Ohio State, we focus a lot on the receivers and 230 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 8: the flash. But the defense for Ohio State, Jim Knowles 231 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 8: is one of the best defensive coordinators in the nation. 232 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 8: Last year they were a little maligned. I think this 233 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,839 Speaker 8: year they've made a concerted effort to be much more 234 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 8: buttoned up defensively. They are allowing just three point four 235 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 8: yards per play, that is the fewest in the country. 236 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:31,959 Speaker 5: Now. 237 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 8: Granted, like I said, they faced Youngstown State and Western 238 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 8: Kentucky actually has a pretty good defense offense, and Indiana, 239 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 8: who does not. 240 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 5: But I still think that defense. 241 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 8: Is a little bit and perhaps we might be saying 242 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 8: at the end of the year when we talk about 243 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 8: this Ohio State team, Wow, the defense really got them 244 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 8: through a lot of those really tough games. They're gonna 245 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 8: have to face a great quarterback today, They're gonna face 246 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 8: Michigan's offense in a few weeks, and they'll face Penn 247 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 8: State down the road as well. Those are great quarterbacks. 248 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 8: Great offense is elite weapons. I think Sam Hartman, of 249 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 8: all the quarterbacks that Ohio States defense is going to 250 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 8: face this year, might be the most let's call it savvy, 251 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 8: and I think that could be the most interesting game 252 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 8: within the game. How does Sam Hartman absorb the pressure 253 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,839 Speaker 8: and continue to execute this offense? Because this offense has 254 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 8: been very precise through the first few weeks. They have 255 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 8: been clinical. I mean, I just gave you the numbers 256 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,439 Speaker 8: on Hartman. On throws twenty or more yards down the field, 257 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 8: he's over fifty percent completion rate. 258 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 5: That's usually what you are overall. 259 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 8: So I think this is a very talented group on 260 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 8: both sides for Ohio State. But I think the defense 261 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 8: is going to be what dictates the tempo in this game. 262 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:39,959 Speaker 3: Yeah, I hear both of you guys. 263 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 4: The thing I would add with Sam Hartman, who hasn't 264 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 4: thrown in an interception so far this year, He's been fantastic. 265 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,199 Speaker 4: Obviously a huge step up in competition. He's got to 266 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 4: protect the football. That goes without being said, but I 267 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 4: think back to the goofy slow mesh days of Wake Forest, 268 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 4: you know what I mean, And it's like you take 269 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 4: this extended lay action fa fake just a couple of 270 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,839 Speaker 4: yards from the line of scrimmage, you. 271 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 2: Know what I mean. 272 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 4: Like he's had so much pressure, different offense with you know, 273 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 4: the pass rush getting close to him. It's just a 274 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 4: different offense. So I think that goes into it as well. 275 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 4: I mean, I hear you Rich, he is a different 276 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,719 Speaker 4: quarterback with pressure close by, and as Jared said, his 277 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 4: most quarterbacks are. But I think the way that happened 278 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 4: at wake Forest is different now. And then also Joe 279 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 4: at Blake Fisher, you got two stud tackles over there. 280 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 4: I'm not as worried, but he's got to protect the football. 281 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 4: He's been no stranger to throwing a lot of interceptions 282 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 4: at wake Forest in the past, so I'm curious to 283 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 4: see how he does handle that pass rush when it 284 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 4: is it's a different it's different math because it's a 285 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 4: different offense. You don't run that slow mesh anymore. 286 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 6: No, You're absolutely right. 287 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 7: And also I think in general, there's a level of 288 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 7: confidence that he's playing with Notre Dame, who, by the way, 289 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 7: has a great receiving core too. We talk a lot 290 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 7: about Ohio States. They also have some weapons on the outside. 291 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 6: It's a different level of confidence in the offense around you. 292 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 7: At Wake, it sort of felt like it was Sam 293 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 7: Hartman and go out there and win it for us 294 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 7: pal And with Notre Dame, he's got help and he's 295 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 7: gonna need it. 296 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 6: He's gonna need all that help against the buck guys. 297 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 6: This is a great matchup. I'm so excited for this one. 298 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 5: It is. 299 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 8: I think I would lean to Notre Dame. I think 300 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 8: this is one that I'm not betting this week. I 301 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 8: think I would lean to Notre Dame plus the points, 302 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 8: just because it's hard to pass up points at home. 303 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 5: But man, if we. 304 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 8: Get a let's call it slightly above average Kyle McCord performance, 305 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 8: I think it's gonna be tough for Notre Dame to 306 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 8: keep up. 307 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 5: I didn't just get it. I just have a vibe. 308 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 6: What's the spread on this game three? 309 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 5: It's covering between three and three and a half. I 310 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 5: guess is it closes at three. But it's crazy people 311 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 5: are bet Notre Dame. 312 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 6: I'm thinking twenty seven to twenty four. I mean that Vegas. 313 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 5: These hands number fields right, are so. 314 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 7: So good at this Because I was thinking final score 315 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 7: twenty seven to twenty four, twenty seven thirty. You know 316 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 7: somebody's gonna win by a field goal here and and 317 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 7: like you just said, Jared, I think this is sort 318 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 7: of like a hands off game for the two of us. 319 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 7: But I have a feeling Brian No who is an 320 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 7: Irish hunk, He's going to. 321 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 5: Give it out today, Beto notre day money line.

I mean, guys, what Shador 370 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 4: Sanders is doing while getting pummeled is really insane. 371 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:56,159 Speaker 3: You look at his numbers. 372 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 4: He's averaging four hundred and seventeen passing yards per game. 373 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:04,199 Speaker 4: He's thrown ten touchdowns one interception, and you look at 374 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 4: his offensive line. The guy's getting clobbered. He's gotten hit 375 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 4: fifty five times on dropbacks alone. He's gotten sacked fifteen times. 376 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 4: And if that's not bad enough, Colorado ranks one hundred 377 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 4: and twenty sixth in sacks allowed per dropback and one 378 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 4: nineteenth in pressure rate allowed. That ain't good, and the 379 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 4: Colorado defensive line you can overwhelm them. 380 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,640 Speaker 3: As well. To be undefeated right now. 381 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 4: Colorado three to zero while not being good in the 382 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 4: trenches says a lot about their quote unquote skill guys 383 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 4: and Shador Sanders he's leading the charge. Obviously, losing Travis 384 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 4: Hunter two way star is a huge loss for them. 385 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 4: They are up against it today against the ducks man 386 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 4: not being strong in the trenches. 387 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 3: That this could be a recipe. 388 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 5: For a route. 389 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 7: Yeah, Travis Hunter out with a lacerated liver that occurred 390 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 7: when he suffered the late hit in the Colorado State game, 391 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 7: So he's out for a while. 392 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,399 Speaker 6: He'll miss a month of football here. Probably. 393 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 7: Meanwhile, like you mentioned, there are offensive issues where Shador 394 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,239 Speaker 7: standard Is is forced to do so much more with 395 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 7: the football than a lot of other quarterbacks because he's 396 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 7: he's running away from pressure on every single game. But 397 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 7: averaging forty one and over forty one points per game, 398 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 7: it's it's impressive what they've been able to do. However, 399 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 7: you look on the other side of the ball, Colorado, 400 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,919 Speaker 7: Colorado's defense has allowed thirty points per game, you know, 401 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 7: So yeah, it's a good news bad news thing. It's like, yeah, 402 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 7: you're scoring in bunches, but at what cost your your 403 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 7: defense is the fifth worst run defense in the Power five. 404 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 7: Your defense is tied for ninth worst in overall defensive grade. 405 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 7: There's almost zero chance in a week they can fix 406 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 7: what ails them, you know, to get ready for the 407 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 7: slot of offense they'll see with the bow Knicks crew 408 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 7: and the Oregon Ducks in Eugene. But I don't want 409 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 7: to count out Colorado completely. I don't think I'm gonna 410 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 7: take a spoonful of medicine and take and take Colorado here. 411 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 3: But that that line, that's a big spread. 412 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 7: And if there's one thing you can say about Dion 413 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 7: Sanders is they've overperformed every week, maybe with the exception 414 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,679 Speaker 7: of last week against the Colorado State Rams, where obviously 415 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 7: the Rams way overperformed what the spread told you they do. 416 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 7: But we've seen this from this group before TCU. They 417 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 7: walked into their home and they ruined a party. Could 418 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 7: they do it again? 419 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,199 Speaker 8: Yeah, you could make a case for Colorado to be 420 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 8: oh at three, I mean you really could instead of three. 421 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 9: No. 422 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,679 Speaker 5: They The TCU game is nuts. 423 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,919 Speaker 8: They scored the game winning touchdown on a fourth down play. 424 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 8: Obviously the game against Nebraska, Nebraska quarterback couldn't even catch 425 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 8: the snap, and they still were in that game in 426 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 8: the first half. They probably should have had a two 427 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 8: score lead in the first half, but they didn't because 428 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 8: again the Nebraska quarterback could not feel the snap properly. 429 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 8: And in the Colorado State game, I mean, you played 430 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 8: that game out one hundred times, probably goes fifty to 431 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 8: fifty both ways, and it was a two score game. 432 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 8: Colorado State had the lead in the fourth quarter. Colorado 433 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 8: played great in the first half. It was a back 434 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 8: and forth game, and Colorado came out on the right side. 435 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 5: The one thing I've gleaned this week been pretty quiet 436 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 5: from Boulder. Huh. 437 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 8: Haven't heard a lot of angst and anger and look 438 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 8: at us kind of vibes. 439 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 5: I think. 440 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 8: I don't want to say Dion knows what's coming, but 441 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 8: my guess is this is not going to be one 442 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 8: of the more louder performances that we've seen, like in 443 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 8: prior weeks where they were coming right the first three weeks. Well, 444 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 8: now they're here, and now they've got to step up 445 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 8: in class. And I think the Travis Hunter. 446 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 5: Injury is really notable. 447 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,120 Speaker 8: Guys, not only obviously on the offensive side of the ball, 448 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 8: he is a playmaker but he is one of the 449 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 8: best cover corners, if not the best cover corner. 450 00:21:59,200 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 5: In the nation. 451 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 8: And this is the week, unlike prior weeks when they 452 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,199 Speaker 8: were playing TCU, who was dealing with a ton of 453 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,439 Speaker 8: new weapons on offense, Nebraska who again literally could not 454 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 8: even catch the snap from the quarterback, and then Colorado State, 455 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 8: who I think exposed it a little bit. Bonix and 456 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 8: that Oregon offense will push the tempo and they will 457 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 8: push the ball down the field. 458 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 5: They really need Travis Hunter this week. 459 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 8: Oddsmakers are saying, and even some of the sharp betters, 460 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 8: about two points is what Travis Hunter is worth on 461 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 8: the spread, and that is the most a non quarterback 462 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 8: is going to be worth in all of college football. 463 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 8: So I think that is a very impactful injury. And 464 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 8: I just I think this is the week where the 465 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 8: wheels come off and we see what this Colorado team 466 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 8: really is. And it's an unbelievable story. I love this story. 467 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 8: I love what Deon Sanders is doing for college football. 468 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 8: We might look back in fifty years and say he 469 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 8: has changed the face of how the game is coached. 470 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 5: But this game, specifically, I don't think it's going to 471 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 5: end well for the Buffalo. 472 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 4: Well, yeah, man, you go back to it's hard to 473 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 4: get away from Colorado State out gained Colorado by eighty 474 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 4: one yards last week. And listen, give Colorado all the 475 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 4: credit in the world. They came back, they won a game, 476 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,199 Speaker 4: They had a ninety eight yard drive to tie it 477 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 4: up force overtime. 478 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 3: I take my hat off to them, But. 479 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:18,679 Speaker 4: Going forward, that was an alarming game sure for Colorado. 480 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 4: And look, man, two things can be true. It's sensational 481 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 4: what Dean Sanders has done to this point. This was 482 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 4: a one and eleven team last season. They're one win 483 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 4: away from going over their season win total. Their season 484 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 4: win total this year was at three and a half. 485 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 4: They're already three and oh. So he's done a phenomenal 486 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 4: job thus far. 487 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:39,640 Speaker 3: But he knows. 488 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 4: Even before last week's game against Colorado State, he said, 489 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 4: we're about seven eight dogs away from changing the game, 490 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 4: meaning if we get some better talent in here, then 491 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 4: we can really challenge for a national championship. He knows 492 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 4: they're not there right now, and so there's no shame 493 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 4: in losing to Oregon on the road. I just think 494 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 4: they're over and Shender Sanders he might put up some 495 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 4: numbers today, But mate, I hope they can keep him 496 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 4: clean because they have not done a good job of 497 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 4: that thus far at all. 498 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 7: Well, and just in general, if you look at this offense, 499 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 7: first defensive matchup for the Ducks against the Buffaloes, the 500 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 7: Ducks they're going to overwhelm this team offensively per the numbers, 501 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 7: I mean, they have one of the best rush running 502 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 7: backs in the country now in terms of yards per 503 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 7: attempt in Bucky Irving. They have the fourth best rushing 504 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 7: get great overall per Pro Football Focus. This is a 505 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 7: team that is going to run roughshot over a very 506 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 7: leaky Buffalo's defense. And what's odd about this game, and 507 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 7: this is rare that you see it. A team that's 508 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 7: overperforming their initial standings in college football, like Colorado usually 509 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 7: has the nation behind them. 510 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 6: They don't. They don't. 511 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 7: There's gonna be a lot of Ducks fans and it's 512 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,159 Speaker 7: because there's a lot of people and college football is 513 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 7: full of traditionalists who really don't like Deon Sanders. They 514 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,159 Speaker 7: don't like the braggadocia. They don't like, you know, the 515 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 7: in your face way that he coaches football. And for 516 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 7: better or worse, that's what you're faced with if you're 517 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 7: the Buffalo's the world is on the side of the Ducks, 518 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 7: who are the favorite by twenty one points at home, 519 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 7: and you're you're having a Cinderella story. It doesn't make sense. 520 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 7: But when you have a coach like Dion Sanders who 521 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 7: asks for all the smoke, You're gonna get all the 522 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 7: smoke in Eugene this afternoon. 523 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 8: And that's why I think it's been quiet this week, yep. 524 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 8: And it's almost like you could tell. And I was 525 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 8: talking to Sean King yesterday doing some work for another 526 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 8: network or a former quarterback does a great job, you know, 527 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 8: scouting college football, and he was telling me that maybe 528 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 8: just because of the conference game, it being a conference game, 529 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 8: you don't need to artificially put any you know, pump 530 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 8: these guys up anymore for it being a conference game. 531 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 8: But I tend to think also that I think coach 532 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 8: Prime kind of knows and the numbers. Listen, there are 533 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 8: more bets today over at BETMGM on Colorado money line 534 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 8: not to spread money line than any other college football 535 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 8: game period combined, just Colorado money line bets. So the idea, yeah, 536 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 8: and I think it just speaks to listen, I'm sure, 537 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 8: a lot of those bets are ten, fifteen, twenty bucks. 538 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 8: It's not going to break the bank if they do win. 539 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 8: Actually I take that back. It will break the bank 540 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 8: because that's it adds up over time. But my point being, 541 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:37,439 Speaker 8: I just I think that they're actually, ironically enough is 542 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 8: value today on the home favorite Langage points because everybody 543 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 8: is lining up giving out money hand over fist to 544 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 8: bet this Colorado team, and they're buying into the story. 545 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 8: And I understand it is like I said, I love 546 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 8: this story. I'm not one of those people. 547 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 5: That is a traditionalist in college football. I love what 548 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 5: coach Prime is doing. 549 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 8: And I do think when we look back in fifty 550 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 8: years and look back at the coach that have come 551 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 8: through the ranks, we're gonna be like, oh, yeah, that 552 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,439 Speaker 8: was a pretty big disruption when Dion Sanders came in 553 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 8: and shook things up a little bit. Now we'll see 554 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 8: how it continues and he has to continue to build 555 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 8: this program. But the initial wave of excitement is arguably 556 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 8: the most exciting thing that's happened to college football since 557 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,159 Speaker 8: Sliced Bread. I mean, it's truly remarkable how he has 558 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 8: taken the country by storm. But again, I think today 559 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,880 Speaker 8: is the day that the field good vibes depart Boulder 560 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 8: and they will be in Uj. 561 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 4: Well after taking the nation by storm. Is something Isaac 562 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 4: loewen Kraun does every time he graces us with his presence. 563 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 4: I loo with the latest. What is going on here? Isaac? 564 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 10: I'm a Category two and climbing. Good morning, fellows. Let's 565 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 10: start with Major League Baseball. On Friday night, the Minnesota 566 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 10: Twins clinched the AL Central for the third time in 567 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 10: five years with an eight to six victory over the Angels. 568 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 10: The Milwaukee Brewers clinched a playoff spot with a sixteen 569 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 10: to one win over the Miami Marlin. The Brewers magic 570 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 10: number to clintch the NL Central is one. The Atlanta 571 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,120 Speaker 10: Braves a nine to sixth victory at Washington as Ronald 572 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 10: Acunya Junior at his fortieth home run to become the 573 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,400 Speaker 10: fifth player in Major league history to have forty home 574 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,919 Speaker 10: runs and forty stolen bases in a season. He's the 575 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 10: first member of the forty to forty club since Alfonso 576 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 10: Soriano in two thousand and six. The Philadelphia Phillies beat 577 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 10: the Mets in ten innings, five to four on Alec 578 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 10: Boehme's RBI single to win it. The Phillies' magic number 579 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 10: to clinch a playoff spot is four. The San Francisco 580 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 10: Giants a five to one win over the Dodgers in 581 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 10: LA the Giants three back of the final National League 582 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 10: wild card spot. And finally, Aaron Judge made New York 583 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 10: Yankees history in their seven to one victory over the 584 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 10: Arizona Diamondbacks and the two. 585 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 11: Swung on there it close to right, hit us high 586 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 11: hit us far Bodus gone. 587 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 5: His third home run of the game. 588 00:28:55,640 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 10: Jam Master John sterling the call on Wfan as Judge 589 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 10: became the first Yankee ever to have two three home 590 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 10: run games in the same season. All the great home 591 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 10: run hitters they've had over their story in history, Aaron 592 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 10: Judge is the first to have two three home run 593 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 10: games in the same year. Fellas back to you. 594 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 4: Thank You, I lo it is Fox Sports Radios Countdown 595 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 4: to Kickoff, presented by Bett MGM. All right, we got 596 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 4: another Pac twelve matchup over here, a number twenty two 597 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 4: UCLA against Number eleven Utah. You got all these ranked 598 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 4: teams in the PAC twelve. You got eight of the 599 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 4: twelve teams in the Pac twelve that are ranked right now. 600 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 5: Com Baby champions Baby. 601 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 4: Maybe should have kept that thing together. It's kind a 602 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 4: good thing going hi hi, goodness. But Cam Rising, the 603 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 4: Utah quarterback, that's the question mark Torres acl and the 604 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 4: Rose Bowl last season. 605 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 3: Does he go? 606 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 4: Is this his first action of this season? We don't know. 607 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 4: Kyle Whittingham playing it close to the vest and says, oh, 608 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 4: find out. 609 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 3: When the game rolls around. How about that? 610 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 4: So we'll see if it's Cam Rising or if it's 611 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 4: Nate Johnson who's back there behind center. Utah's offense they 612 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 4: rank eighty fourth in points per possession, so obviously they 613 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 4: need that jolt from Cam Rising. We'll see if he's 614 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 4: on the field today. But just like college football, a 615 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 4: lot of it is well, we'll see when the game starts. 616 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 4: That doesn't exactly ease my mind if I'm betting on 617 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 4: this game not knowing exactly who's going to be there 618 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 4: behind center. But here's where we are, at least right 619 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 4: now in college football. 620 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: Now. 621 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 7: I got an up close look at the twenty number 622 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 7: twenty two UCLA Bruins, and this is a rough bunch 623 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 7: man they are. 624 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 6: They play with a. 625 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 7: Great deal of physicality defensively, that running game is better 626 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 7: than anybody I think expected heading into the season. There's 627 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 7: always going to be great creativity with the Chip Kelly offense. 628 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 7: And when I was on the call, what I noticed 629 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 7: was with their young quarterback Dante Moore, He's really done 630 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 7: a nice job as a young guy understanding understanding the 631 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 7: moment right. He's never over his skis, which is not 632 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 7: trademark of a true freshman playing in college football. He 633 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 7: doesn't force anything, he doesn't do too much. He plays 634 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 7: within the system, and he's talented. You know, he can 635 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 7: run the ball, he can obviously throw with a great 636 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 7: deal of accuracy, but he's not going to put you 637 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 7: in bad situations, which obviously a coach like Chip Kelly 638 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 7: would not be starting a true freshman if he couldn't 639 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 7: handle that. Then you look at the other side and 640 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 7: it's Utah who's three and oh this season, and this 641 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 7: is a great matchup between two teams that, you know, 642 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 7: I don't know if you can make an argument for 643 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 7: either of them being top ten teams just yet, but 644 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 7: Utah's probably got the better argument. However, they've got serious 645 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 7: problems with Cameron Rising potentially out Bran Keithy, their tight end, 646 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 7: who's a real star. With both of them potentially out 647 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 7: for the game, they they're passing offense has really struggled. 648 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 7: They're they're one of the worst passing offenses in in 649 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 7: Power five rankings right now, and they've also let a 650 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 7: tremendous amount of pressure get to the quarterbacks. So if 651 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 7: you look at the tail of the tape, you know, 652 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 7: you see what UCLA has put out there on film, 653 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 7: what this defensive front has done to opposing offenses, and 654 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 7: what Utah lacks. I'm not saying it's gonna be a 655 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 7: lopsided victory. This obviously is going to be a raucous 656 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 7: environment at Rice Ecle Stadium, But but this is one 657 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 7: of those games where you could see UCLA if they 658 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 7: score early, they quiet down the stands and the fan 659 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 7: base a little bit. 660 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 6: This could be a rough outing for the Utes. 661 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 8: Yeah, this could be a game where we kind of 662 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 8: flip the Pac twelve a little bit, where we thought 663 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 8: Utah coming in with rising and Keithy also is banged up, 664 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 8: their star tight end, so that's you know, that's their 665 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 8: two best players on offense. This could be a game 666 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 8: where we kind of flipped the narrative a little bit 667 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 8: because we weren't really thinking about UCLA much coming into 668 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 8: the year. Of course, they lost a ton in the 669 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 8: draft and Dorian Thompson Robinson being the quarterback that we 670 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 8: all thought he could be, and and then now he's 671 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 8: obviously departed to the NFL. 672 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 5: Had a really good preseason, but. 673 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 8: In steps Dante more and they had Chase Garber's start 674 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 8: the first game, like it was just a weird transition. 675 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 8: But now you give the reins to Dante Moore, five 676 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 8: star kid from Michigan. I think Notre Dame was in 677 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 8: on him. I think Oregon was the other team that 678 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 8: really wanted to bring this kid into the fold because 679 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 8: he is just electric and rich. I'm so glad you 680 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:47,960 Speaker 8: were able to give the context there of what he 681 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 8: looks like, because when we have a freshman quarterback, we 682 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 8: don't you know, we can only go by the numbers. 683 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 8: But the context you added of just the element he brings, 684 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 8: I think is unique. 685 00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 5: And again on Utah's offensive side, it's just. 686 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 8: The number is telling me here that Cam Rising's not 687 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 8: gonna play. This thing opened at seven, it's now three. 688 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,879 Speaker 8: Utah is barely getting their home field credited for them 689 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,320 Speaker 8: as the favor today. That is where the odds makers 690 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,359 Speaker 8: expect this game to be, because it looks like now 691 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,359 Speaker 8: Kyle Whittingham's pulled a fast one on us before. He's 692 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 8: like Doyle Brunson holding ten to two off sued. You 693 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 8: don't know if he's gonna bloff with Cam Rising. Who 694 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 8: knows he might play. 695 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 5: He's done this before, So I don't know what to make. 696 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,920 Speaker 8: Of the number because it's telling me, the market's telling 697 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 8: me Cam Rising's not playing today. But I've been fooled 698 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 8: by Winningham before, so shame you know. If what is 699 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,799 Speaker 8: the fool he wants, shame on me forol me twice. 700 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 8: Shame on you. I'm not falling for today, but I 701 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:45,239 Speaker 8: will say this if if Rising doesn't play, I think 702 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 8: UCLA is winning this game out right. I think Dante 703 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 8: Moore is obviously the better of the two quarterbacks in 704 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,360 Speaker 8: terms of talent when when when Rising's sitting, and I 705 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 8: think this UCLA offensive line, the numbers are good, the 706 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,799 Speaker 8: metrics are good, This is obviously a big step up 707 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 8: in class against Utah's defense. But I really think this 708 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,920 Speaker 8: could be a really interesting game where UCLA kind of 709 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 8: takes the reins and says, hey, we're the better team 710 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 8: here and maybe we need to be talked about at 711 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 8: the top of this very good PAC twelve conference. 712 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 4: Well, look at the UCLA ground game. They've been fantastic 713 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 4: thus far. Carson Steel, the ball State transfer TJ Harden. 714 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,720 Speaker 4: Those guys are ripping off eight plus yards a chunk. 715 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,400 Speaker 4: But this is a step up in white class against Utah. 716 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 4: They're not fond of teams just running it down their throat, 717 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 4: so keep your eye on that as well. Hey, we've 718 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,440 Speaker 4: got rich Orenberger Penn State All American. We have got 719 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 4: Jared Smith FSR. Betting analyst.

We get two out 735 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 8: of the three underdogs. 736 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,040 Speaker 5: We're gonna hit one of these Saturday. I hope, I pray. 737 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,439 Speaker 8: All Right, we're starting out early, and I love this game. 738 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:37,799 Speaker 8: And this game is one of those classic games where 739 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 8: you look at the I test and you say, Florida 740 00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,480 Speaker 8: State should absolutely crush Clemson, and then you look at 741 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,000 Speaker 8: the line and the market you say, wait a minute, 742 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:46,760 Speaker 8: that number. 743 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 5: Is a lot closer to pick them than I expected it. 744 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 5: And it's moving dards Clemson. 745 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,799 Speaker 8: Everybody's betting Florida State today, and I get it. They've 746 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 8: been fantastic. But I can point out a weakness on 747 00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,759 Speaker 8: this Seminoles team, and it is how they defend the run. 748 00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:03,960 Speaker 8: They are a hundred and twentieth in rushing defensive efficiency. 749 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,760 Speaker 5: Yikes, what does Clemson actually do well on offense? 750 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 8: They're on the ball, so to me, that's the that's 751 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,439 Speaker 8: the recipe in this game for Clemson. You run the ball, 752 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 8: you keep the ball out of Jordan Travis's hands, and 753 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,240 Speaker 8: you hope that Kate club Nick doesn't screw the pooch 754 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 8: because I think Clemson. The numbers telling me, the sharp 755 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 8: money is telling me that Clemson's the right side in 756 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 8: this game. So we'll go Clemson money line. 757 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 5: As our first leg in the parlay Memphis money line. 758 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,480 Speaker 5: This is a letdown spot for a Zoo great win 759 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,359 Speaker 5: last week. We were on the Tigers last week. 760 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 8: Brady Cooks a little banged up, though Sprainny questionable to play. 761 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 5: I think he's gonna go. 762 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,920 Speaker 8: But I think this Memphis defense, top ten in the 763 00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,799 Speaker 8: country in points per game allowed, might be able to 764 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,240 Speaker 8: hold this Miszoo offensive check. And I love the Memphis 765 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,320 Speaker 8: running game as well though, So we'll put Memphis money 766 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,879 Speaker 8: line in the parla. They're about a six to seven 767 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,919 Speaker 8: point underdog in this game. And in Utah State at 768 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,759 Speaker 8: home against James Madison. What a crazy matchup this is. 769 00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 8: This is the old sandwich spot, guys for JMU. You 770 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,600 Speaker 8: got the win over Troy last week, Sun Belt Elite. 771 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:06,280 Speaker 8: Next week they play South Alabama another Sun Belt elite. 772 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 5: Well. Sandwiched in between is a little town I like to. 773 00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:13,799 Speaker 8: Call Logan, Utah, five thousand feet above sea level. We'll 774 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:17,480 Speaker 8: see how the dukes handle altpitube. But I really like 775 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:22,000 Speaker 8: this rushing attack for Utah State. They can carry the 776 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,920 Speaker 8: rock almost five yards of carry against Iowa. 777 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:26,640 Speaker 5: I think they can do it against jam you as well. 778 00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:30,759 Speaker 8: So Clemson, Memphis, Utah State all on the money line, 779 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,319 Speaker 8: all doggies, seventeen to one on the. 780 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:35,239 Speaker 5: Parlay ladder today. 781 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:35,800 Speaker 8: What do we think of? 782 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:37,240 Speaker 3: Nice little payout. 783 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:41,759 Speaker 4: I'm just uh, I'm not used to the plus with Clemson. 784 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:46,280 Speaker 4: I know they're normally favorite hold minus something, but home dogs. 785 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 3: But what did you get it at? Do you remember 786 00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:48,440 Speaker 3: what it was? 787 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,240 Speaker 5: It's like plus one fifteen. 788 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,360 Speaker 8: I bet an individually they're like two two and a 789 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:54,800 Speaker 8: half points hunderdogs? 790 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,879 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, man?

Every single week they're at least the top 854 00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,879 Speaker 4: ten team. They're now number thirteen in the country. I'm 855 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,520 Speaker 4: curious what you guys think about this. Last week, My goodness, 856 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:55,520 Speaker 4: Jalen Milroe got benched. So you had the Tyler Buckner 857 00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:59,320 Speaker 4: ty Simpson two headed monster that was a disaster against 858 00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:03,680 Speaker 4: South Florida. So you've got Nick Saban saying, Jaln Milrod, 859 00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:04,600 Speaker 4: I was just kidding. 860 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,239 Speaker 3: You're back in. You're the starter man. These other guys think. 861 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:12,560 Speaker 4: I want to see how Milroe does today. Obviously against 862 00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:17,000 Speaker 4: Old Miss. I've got tied vibes over here. I just 863 00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 4: feel like backs against the wall. They've looked bad the 864 00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:24,840 Speaker 4: last two weeks. They're at home, they're against Old Miss, 865 00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:29,399 Speaker 4: They've played real defense. I just see Bama in this one. 866 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,160 Speaker 4: I don't see I cannot see them losing this game. 867 00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:33,080 Speaker 3: A lot of people do. 868 00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:34,560 Speaker 4: There are a lot of people out there that can 869 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:36,920 Speaker 4: see that. I do not see that with Bama today. 870 00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:40,560 Speaker 7: Yeah, only three of Nick Saban's former assistants have beaten him, 871 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:46,400 Speaker 7: Jimbo Fisher, Kirby Smart, Steve Sarkisian, Lane Kiffen could be 872 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:47,560 Speaker 7: the fourth in line. 873 00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:48,359 Speaker 6: And here's the. 874 00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:52,880 Speaker 7: Bad news for Alabama when you look at the tides 875 00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:57,759 Speaker 7: passing game, because of the revolving door quarterback we'll call 876 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,239 Speaker 7: it Tommy Reese has been able to get into any 877 00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,800 Speaker 7: sort of rhythm as the offensive coordinator. The offensive line 878 00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:08,200 Speaker 7: has also surrendered a ton of pressure on all the 879 00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,560 Speaker 7: quarterbacks who've played. They're really low in the Power five 880 00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,960 Speaker 7: in terms of blocking against the pass rush, and there 881 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,440 Speaker 7: really aren't any proven stars in the receiving core. What's 882 00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,440 Speaker 7: unique about this year as opposed to other years for 883 00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:25,520 Speaker 7: Alabama is we have a hard time grading Alabama quarterbacks 884 00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:29,840 Speaker 7: because they're so surrounded by so many talented receivers. We 885 00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,840 Speaker 7: haven't seen that breakthrough performance from any of the guys 886 00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:37,160 Speaker 7: on the edges of this Alabama offense. So it's difficult 887 00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:40,799 Speaker 7: to grade the quarterbacks over or I should say so, 888 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:44,359 Speaker 7: it's a little bit easier to see the quarterbacks struggle, yeah, 889 00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,440 Speaker 7: because there isn't that guy who could just toss the 890 00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,080 Speaker 7: ball up to and is going to win the fifty 891 00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,279 Speaker 7: to fifty ball when you throw it his way. 892 00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,520 Speaker 3: This is obviously Nick Saban coach team. 893 00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:55,240 Speaker 6: This is a defense that. 894 00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,960 Speaker 7: Surrenders more points than we've ever seen in Alabama defense. 895 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:04,440 Speaker 7: But that's modern football. This is a this is this 896 00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:06,600 Speaker 7: is a must win for Alabama. There I said it. 897 00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,239 Speaker 7: If they want to compete for a playoff position, they 898 00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:10,720 Speaker 7: need to win this game. 899 00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:13,600 Speaker 5: What a unique situation today. 900 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,480 Speaker 8: So this is, as you mentioned, their lowest ranking Brian 901 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,040 Speaker 8: since twenty fifteen for Alabama, but they went on to 902 00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:22,320 Speaker 8: win the national championship. 903 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:23,400 Speaker 3: I know it crazy. 904 00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:26,560 Speaker 8: And that being said, they don't have Derrick Henry this year, 905 00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,560 Speaker 8: and that was obviously the big the big, the big horse, 906 00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:33,240 Speaker 8: the big gun on that Alabama team back in twenty fifteen. 907 00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,120 Speaker 8: It's so and I mentioned this a little early in 908 00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,360 Speaker 8: the show, and I'll bring this story up now because. 909 00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:40,880 Speaker 5: I love I love the pettiness in the SEC. 910 00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:46,359 Speaker 8: So Alabama's old defensive coordinator, Pete Golding is now the 911 00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,799 Speaker 8: old Miss defensive coordinator. So Lane Kiffin probably has you know, 912 00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:52,120 Speaker 8: they've got some like back room in the in the 913 00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,360 Speaker 8: old Miss facility where they're going over the old signal 914 00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,080 Speaker 8: calls and they're going over all this old stuff for 915 00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:57,799 Speaker 8: what Bama used to do and maybe what they might 916 00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:01,959 Speaker 8: do this year. And so so in the media this week. 917 00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,440 Speaker 8: It was I think on Sunday, Lane Kiffin took some 918 00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:08,320 Speaker 8: shots at the BAMA defense and saying that he actually 919 00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:13,320 Speaker 8: thinks the cornerback coach Tavaris Robinson, not the actual defensive 920 00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,920 Speaker 8: coordinator Kevin Steele, is calling the signals and the way 921 00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,319 Speaker 8: he walked through it, he said, hey, he's doing this, 922 00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,600 Speaker 8: and I think I don't even think Evan's calling the plays, 923 00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:23,960 Speaker 8: and it's all so petty. All of it's to take 924 00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,960 Speaker 8: a shot at this BAMA defense, which has. 925 00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,680 Speaker 5: Underperformed so far through the first few weeks. 926 00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:33,080 Speaker 8: But it's kind of interesting to see Lane Kiffin from 927 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,160 Speaker 8: his perch thinking that he's going to talk. It's just 928 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,600 Speaker 8: you don't want to poke the bear, right, That's not 929 00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:40,839 Speaker 8: what you want to do with Alabama, because I'm sure 930 00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:43,359 Speaker 8: they heard about all of this in their defensive meeting 931 00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,879 Speaker 8: rooms this week. But back to the point on Milroe, 932 00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:49,239 Speaker 8: Tommy Reez just has to make it real easy for him. 933 00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,719 Speaker 8: The talent is there, the explosion is there, but I 934 00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,239 Speaker 8: think they're asking him to do a little bit too 935 00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,040 Speaker 8: much through the first few weeks and it just needs 936 00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:00,400 Speaker 8: it needs to be easy. It needs to be wide receivers, 937 00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:02,080 Speaker 8: it needs to be draws. It needs to be one 938 00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:05,279 Speaker 8: rethrows half the field. All of those things need to 939 00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,719 Speaker 8: be paint by numbers for Jalen Milroll today because I 940 00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:10,280 Speaker 8: think defensively, old Miss can be had. And I agree 941 00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:12,560 Speaker 8: with your take, Brian. I think this is a Bilo 942 00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,799 Speaker 8: spot on Alabama. It's rare we get him less than 943 00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,640 Speaker 8: a touchdown favorite at home and that looks like what 944 00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:19,760 Speaker 8: the number is going to be today. 945 00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:23,040 Speaker 4: And the other pettiness from the week you had Lane 946 00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:27,440 Speaker 4: Kiffen posting just a totally random Taylor Swift concert video. 947 00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:32,760 Speaker 4: The song is Castle's Crumbling, which I'm sure has nothing. 948 00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,960 Speaker 3: To do with his outlook on Alabama over here. 949 00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,680 Speaker 5: I love it. It's so petty in the sez. It 950 00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:39,080 Speaker 5: is the most petty conference. 951 00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:43,080 Speaker 7: He's got some problems though, he's got some Judkins kid 952 00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:45,719 Speaker 7: the running back, I mean, he's banged up. He was 953 00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:49,440 Speaker 7: limited last week with an upper body injury. Trey Harris, 954 00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:53,640 Speaker 7: who right now is tied in the country or tied 955 00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,960 Speaker 7: for third in the country with receiving touchdowns, he missed 956 00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,479 Speaker 7: last week's game with a knee. They got a tight 957 00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:03,360 Speaker 7: end who's really good, who's uh who's out. 958 00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:03,800 Speaker 6: With the knee? 959 00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:09,480 Speaker 7: Also they got a transfer wide receiver Franklin from UTSA. 960 00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,600 Speaker 7: Uh he he has yet to make his uh ole 961 00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:17,440 Speaker 7: Miss debut with the knee injury. Uh So it looks 962 00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:19,960 Speaker 7: like they may get the tight end back and Harris, 963 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,040 Speaker 7: both who are practicing this week. 964 00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:23,320 Speaker 6: So Ole Miss. 965 00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:26,040 Speaker 7: I'm sure the fans of ole Miss, the reps, they're 966 00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,680 Speaker 7: they're optimistic about seeing a little bit more juice for 967 00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:32,400 Speaker 7: this offense. But I agree with the subtext of this game. 968 00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:36,680 Speaker 7: You see what's happening obviously in the injury reports and 969 00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:40,000 Speaker 7: what we've seen in past weeks offensively and defensively from 970 00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,799 Speaker 7: both these teams. But the subtext of this game is 971 00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:46,319 Speaker 7: you have a former coach poking poking the eye of 972 00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:51,680 Speaker 7: his his ex boss, and they're going to Tuscaloosa this 973 00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:53,600 Speaker 7: I mean recipe for disaster. 974 00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:57,279 Speaker 4: Well, and that's the thing too, is Bama possesses what 975 00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,320 Speaker 4: I call the oh hell no gene. 976 00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,480 Speaker 3: Okay, And I would go back to when I was 977 00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:03,120 Speaker 3: growing up. 978 00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,080 Speaker 4: I would look at my dad and I'm thinking, you know, 979 00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,920 Speaker 4: I'm getting bigger now, I'm a little more stronger than 980 00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,240 Speaker 4: my dad. I think I could kick my dad's ass. 981 00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:13,920 Speaker 4: You know, I'm thinking that, uh huh Dawn. To me, 982 00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:18,359 Speaker 4: I'm like, you know what, my dad has the oh 983 00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:21,880 Speaker 4: hell no gene, which means when I was going like 984 00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,600 Speaker 4: got got goo goo and he's out there trying to 985 00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:28,680 Speaker 4: pay a mortgage and all that he knows like I 986 00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:31,840 Speaker 4: can't allow that to happen, Like I have this switch 987 00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:34,640 Speaker 4: that I can flip, and even though you might be 988 00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,520 Speaker 4: stronger than me right now, I will not allow that 989 00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:41,640 Speaker 4: to happen. And that's how I see Alabama is Alabama. 990 00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:44,360 Speaker 4: They're like, Okay, we got pushed around by Texas, quinn 991 00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:47,319 Speaker 4: Ewers did his thing? Is Jackson Dark gonna do that 992 00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,440 Speaker 4: to us today? Are we not gonna be able to 993 00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:52,680 Speaker 4: run the ball effectively today against Ole Miss and Lane 994 00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:55,160 Speaker 4: Kiffin who's trolling us with Castle's crumbling? 995 00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:56,520 Speaker 3: And oh hell no? 996 00:48:56,760 --> 00:49:00,040 Speaker 4: That's how I feel with Alabama. Look, you've got to 997 00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:03,319 Speaker 4: operate history from the here and now. I think for 998 00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:08,000 Speaker 4: both Alabama and Clemson, they've had so much success, but 999 00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:11,000 Speaker 4: you have to figure out are you leaning too much 1000 00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:16,359 Speaker 4: on history or are you genuinely and authentically looking at 1001 00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:18,839 Speaker 4: the here and now and you're still convinced they both 1002 00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:20,920 Speaker 4: can get it done. As far as Alabama is concerned, 1003 00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:25,040 Speaker 4: I am convinced they are getting it done today. And 1004 00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:27,719 Speaker 4: like you said, Jared, this is a Bilo spot. Me 1005 00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:32,320 Speaker 4: think about that. Yeah, it is a Bilow spot today. 1006 00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:35,520 Speaker 7: Hold your nose though, when you take Alabama, because Jellen 1007 00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:39,200 Speaker 7: Milroe he was bench for good reason. He was basically 1008 00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:42,280 Speaker 7: serving up balls to the defense in his first start 1009 00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:48,319 Speaker 7: or action as a quarterback on a silver platter. I mean, 1010 00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:53,239 Speaker 7: he just really really struggled. And when Tyler Buckner came in, 1011 00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:56,359 Speaker 7: I mean, look, it was no better. He went out 1012 00:49:56,360 --> 00:50:00,080 Speaker 7: there again South Florida, and it was it was just 1013 00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:04,960 Speaker 7: it was bizarre. Frankly, I thought that Tyler Buckner, especially 1014 00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:07,120 Speaker 7: early in that game. This is what we talked about. 1015 00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:10,960 Speaker 7: I figured that Tommy resent him. With their past working history, 1016 00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:14,840 Speaker 7: they would have, you know, at least scripted some plays, 1017 00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:17,880 Speaker 7: easier plays as you mentioned, Jared, to get a little 1018 00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:21,319 Speaker 7: momentum positivity going offensively for this team on the road. 1019 00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:25,160 Speaker 7: And that really did not work. And so they made 1020 00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:27,840 Speaker 7: the switch. And good on them because it resulted in 1021 00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:30,560 Speaker 7: the win. But my goodness, by the skin of their teeth, 1022 00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:33,920 Speaker 7: and so back to the Milrow we go. But unless 1023 00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:37,400 Speaker 7: he cleans up those mistakes, Ole miss will capitalize on 1024 00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:40,319 Speaker 7: those missed opportunities that we saw week one with the 1025 00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:43,759 Speaker 7: Crimson Tide. He cannot give the ball to the defense. 1026 00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:49,440 Speaker 7: He cannot give the ole miss Rebels second chance opportunities offensively, 1027 00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:52,080 Speaker 7: otherwise they will lose at home. And then you're gonna 1028 00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:55,279 Speaker 7: start seeing, you know, that castle crumbling, that sound. They're 1029 00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:57,319 Speaker 7: just gonna be pumping that up a little bit more. 1030 00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,400 Speaker 7: And it's not even gonna just be the Rebels fans, 1031 00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:03,200 Speaker 7: donors and the alumni and all the people who spend 1032 00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:06,680 Speaker 7: so much money on nil and helping out the program. 1033 00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:09,520 Speaker 7: They're gonna start being like, hey, you know, did Nick 1034 00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:11,080 Speaker 7: Saban lose a step? 1035 00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:14,480 Speaker 6: Here is it recruiting, what is it? What's going on? 1036 00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:16,680 Speaker 6: It's gonna be it's gonna be bad. 1037 00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:20,399 Speaker 7: And so hopefully for Saban and the Tide they have 1038 00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:21,920 Speaker 7: that aw hell no gene. 1039 00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:24,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, they're gonna need it today. But it's kind of 1040 00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:26,600 Speaker 5: funny because you look at but you know, you go. 1041 00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:28,359 Speaker 8: Back and you kind of you know, now we've had 1042 00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:30,880 Speaker 8: we have three sometimes four data points on all of 1043 00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:33,440 Speaker 8: these teams. You go back and you kind of analyze 1044 00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:37,160 Speaker 8: the journey so far. It looked good week one against 1045 00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:40,040 Speaker 8: Middle but then you look deeper in that game and 1046 00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:42,640 Speaker 8: you start to see some of the inconsistencies up front 1047 00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:46,640 Speaker 8: along the offensive line. And now it obviously manifested itself 1048 00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:49,400 Speaker 8: against Texas. I think the USF game, it was weird weather, 1049 00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:52,239 Speaker 8: all that stuff. They were changing quarterbacks. Tyler Buckner looked 1050 00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:54,600 Speaker 8: more like Bill Buckner in that game. Now we'll get 1051 00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,840 Speaker 8: a much better glimpse of what this Alabama offense is. 1052 00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,120 Speaker 8: But I'll be honest, guys, the offensive line needs to 1053 00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,960 Speaker 8: play better. They have too much talent up front to 1054 00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:05,160 Speaker 8: be putting up some of the numbers they are. For example, 1055 00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:09,400 Speaker 8: thirty seven percent stuff rate. That means every ten times 1056 00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:11,400 Speaker 8: they run the ball, four out of the ten are 1057 00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,479 Speaker 8: getting stuffed behind the line of scrimmage. That's not good 1058 00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:17,880 Speaker 8: for Alabama. And again you've played Middle and South Florida. 1059 00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:21,439 Speaker 8: Now Texas's defense is legit, but still that stuff rate, 1060 00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:24,600 Speaker 8: the offensive line consistency needs to be better. 1061 00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:26,880 Speaker 5: Maybe they were challenged this week. Maybe this is the 1062 00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:27,919 Speaker 5: first conference game. 1063 00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:29,799 Speaker 8: We'll get a little bit more of an uptick in 1064 00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:32,759 Speaker 8: that intensity level, right rich, the intensity level from the 1065 00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:36,480 Speaker 8: offensive line, that contact, that push needs to be a 1066 00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:38,920 Speaker 8: lot stronger. And you gotta let Jalen Milroll just do 1067 00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:41,160 Speaker 8: his thing. I think the game plan is key. We 1068 00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:44,440 Speaker 8: talked about those one red throws. We need screens, we 1069 00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:48,200 Speaker 8: need slants, we need bootlegs, we need quarterback design runs. 1070 00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:51,040 Speaker 8: Tommy Rees has to draw up a good game plan 1071 00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:54,160 Speaker 8: today to let Jalen Milrol do what he does best. 1072 00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:55,719 Speaker 5: There's a lot of things he does well. There's a 1073 00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:57,200 Speaker 5: lot of things he doesn't do well. 1074 00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:01,400 Speaker 8: Allow Tommy Reese to construct the game plan that highlights 1075 00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:05,600 Speaker 8: the strengths and downgrades the weaknesses. Easier said than done, 1076 00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:07,400 Speaker 8: But to me, that's the key for Alabama today. 1077 00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:11,000 Speaker 4: Well, I think this is an attitude game for Bama's 1078 00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:11,920 Speaker 4: offensive line. 1079 00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:13,600 Speaker 3: They have underperformed. 1080 00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:16,919 Speaker 4: They allowed a fifty seven percent pressure rate last week 1081 00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:18,600 Speaker 4: against South Florida. 1082 00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:20,720 Speaker 5: Only it has to be. 1083 00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:23,759 Speaker 4: They didn't have Tyler Booker. He had backspasms last week. 1084 00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:26,359 Speaker 4: He's expected to be back. That could help. But I 1085 00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:29,600 Speaker 4: think this is this isn't a sleepy game for Bama. 1086 00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:32,360 Speaker 4: There's no chance this is a sleepy game. This is 1087 00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:35,840 Speaker 4: an attitude game. This is a we're getting trolled and 1088 00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:40,440 Speaker 4: we're gonna lose again, like now to for the second 1089 00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:43,279 Speaker 4: time of the season, to uh Ole miss. I just 1090 00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:45,680 Speaker 4: I don't see it happening at all today. I'd be 1091 00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:48,279 Speaker 4: shocked if it does. Hey, football season is here.

You know, sometimes we. 1138 00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:17,120 Speaker 4: Get caught in the here and now with what's happening 1139 00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:21,640 Speaker 4: with the Colorado Buffaloes and this avalanche of money that 1140 00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:24,520 Speaker 4: is just following them. In terms of the betting public, 1141 00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:28,040 Speaker 4: how far back do you have to go to point 1142 00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:32,960 Speaker 4: to another team that was generating as much action as Colorado. 1143 00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:33,200 Speaker 3: Is right now? 1144 00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:37,840 Speaker 9: They're the first of their kind. We've never had a 1145 00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:40,800 Speaker 9: team like this that it is just constantly taking the money. 1146 00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:42,759 Speaker 9: I mean, I guess a lot of times you can 1147 00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:46,120 Speaker 9: points to Notre Dame, but nothing like this. I mean, 1148 00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:49,399 Speaker 9: it's crazy. Although I will say this is the first 1149 00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:51,279 Speaker 9: week where I've seen a little bit of pause in 1150 00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:54,960 Speaker 9: the betters were of course lopsided to Colorado, but not 1151 00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:57,080 Speaker 9: to the extent that I would have expected or that 1152 00:56:57,120 --> 00:57:00,440 Speaker 9: we've been over the past three weeks. This one, I 1153 00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:02,440 Speaker 9: think this twenty and a half spread at least is 1154 00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:04,239 Speaker 9: giving some people a little bit of pause. 1155 00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:08,399 Speaker 5: Not on the money line, that's for sure. I'm seeing 1156 00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:10,320 Speaker 5: a lot of people. Man, yeah, people. 1157 00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:12,600 Speaker 9: We still have a problem on the money line, but 1158 00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:16,640 Speaker 9: when it comes to the spread, we're closer to even 1159 00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:18,960 Speaker 9: than I would have thought. I mean, still very lopside 1160 00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:21,000 Speaker 9: of the Colorado, but I'm surprised by. 1161 00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:22,439 Speaker 2: The amount of orgon best Christ. 1162 00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:24,960 Speaker 8: If people see that seven to one, this plus six 1163 00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:27,960 Speaker 8: hundred and plus six fifty on on Colorado, they are 1164 00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:31,320 Speaker 8: they are eating it up with a soup ladle. A 1165 00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:34,760 Speaker 8: game that's been very unique in terms of the market 1166 00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:37,880 Speaker 8: movement has been Florida State Clemson. And again I think 1167 00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:41,480 Speaker 8: if you just base the first three games on the 1168 00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:45,720 Speaker 8: eye test, Florida State looks infinitely better than Clemson. But 1169 00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:48,840 Speaker 8: the numbers telling us today that Clemson might be a 1170 00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:50,280 Speaker 8: live dog in this matchup. 1171 00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:51,120 Speaker 5: What are you see in here? 1172 00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:56,240 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, we're still taking FSU money this whole time, though, 1173 00:57:56,240 --> 00:58:00,560 Speaker 9: but the line has been shading, you know, back towards Clemson. 1174 00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:04,920 Speaker 9: But we're seeing sharper action coming there. But for the 1175 00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:06,240 Speaker 9: public still in Florida State. 1176 00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:10,400 Speaker 7: You know, when we were just discussing this old Miss 1177 00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:15,120 Speaker 7: Crimson tide, Battle and Tuscaloosa. We were talking about the 1178 00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:19,280 Speaker 7: pettiness of coaches at that SEC level. You know, Lane 1179 00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:23,840 Speaker 7: Kiffin taking shots at Alabama, the castles crumbling, all that stuff. 1180 00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:28,439 Speaker 7: Deon Sanders has made such a splash this season. We've 1181 00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:31,880 Speaker 7: seen all this money coming on on Colorado. Do you 1182 00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:34,760 Speaker 7: think it helps when you have a boisterous coach a 1183 00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:37,760 Speaker 7: Nick Saban, You know he'll give his once or twice 1184 00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:41,120 Speaker 7: a year rat poison to the media. You know, Lane 1185 00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:45,160 Speaker 7: Kiffin is boisterous, always have been. Deon Sanders. Does this 1186 00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:48,360 Speaker 7: help the the money come into the window on these 1187 00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:50,600 Speaker 7: teams or do you see no correlation there? 1188 00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:54,760 Speaker 9: Yeah? I mean sometimes, I mean the more media headlines, 1189 00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:57,160 Speaker 9: the more you see a team in there, and sometimes 1190 00:58:57,160 --> 00:58:59,600 Speaker 9: will shade the person to start getting in that direction, 1191 00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:03,400 Speaker 9: But not too too much, I mean, I guess, and 1192 00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:05,320 Speaker 9: a lot of it depends on your fandom and if 1193 00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:06,960 Speaker 9: you just think that team can outright win. 1194 00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:11,200 Speaker 4: He's Christian Sippolini, bet MGM trading manager joining us here 1195 00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:13,760 Speaker 4: on countdown to kick off. You know, if I were 1196 00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:17,640 Speaker 4: in your spot, Christian and all these bets are flooding in, 1197 00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:20,760 Speaker 4: I would think at times like, oh, that's not a 1198 00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:23,000 Speaker 4: good idea you don't want to bet on that side. 1199 00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:26,640 Speaker 4: But then there are times I'm sure I would think, wow, 1200 00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:29,440 Speaker 4: I hadn't thought of that, but I could see that 1201 00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:30,600 Speaker 4: working out for you. 1202 00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:33,560 Speaker 3: Has there been anything like that for you this week? 1203 00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:37,600 Speaker 9: I don't have anything specific this week, but you are 1204 00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:39,960 Speaker 9: very right that there is often times where we know 1205 00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:42,040 Speaker 9: we'll have a bet approval come through when we rush 1206 00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:44,920 Speaker 9: to take that going. Oh man, we'll take that one 1207 00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:47,720 Speaker 9: real quick. And other times we'll have something to call like, oh, 1208 00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:50,920 Speaker 9: all right, I see the angle here. You're you're onto something. 1209 00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:53,520 Speaker 9: But unfortunately I don't have too much here. It's mostly 1210 00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:55,240 Speaker 9: just people betting on Colorado this week. 1211 00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:01,400 Speaker 8: Oh Christian man, I think this is going to go 1212 01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:03,840 Speaker 8: down as one of the more unique weeks because of 1213 01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:07,240 Speaker 8: all the high profile games. Is there one of the 1214 01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:11,720 Speaker 8: higher profile games besides Colorado Oregon that is drawing some 1215 01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:13,520 Speaker 8: interesting action this week? 1216 01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:15,200 Speaker 5: The ranked versus ranked. 1217 01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:18,800 Speaker 9: Yeah, we've got six right versus rank games, which is awesome. 1218 01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:21,440 Speaker 9: But the one that's actually kind of surprising to me 1219 01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:26,200 Speaker 9: is Alabama. You know, normally, you know, obviously this season 1220 01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:29,400 Speaker 9: they haven't looked the same, but we normally can't stop 1221 01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:31,919 Speaker 9: writing Alabama tickets and this game is actually pretty close 1222 01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:34,640 Speaker 9: to fifty to fifty. So I'd say that's more surprising 1223 01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:38,840 Speaker 9: to me. You know, Notre Dame Ohio State. I expected 1224 01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:40,720 Speaker 9: to be kind of closer to fifty to fifty, which 1225 01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:43,320 Speaker 9: it is. We're taking a little bit more Notre Dame money, 1226 01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:47,280 Speaker 9: but only slightly, but that's more expected. But I always 1227 01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:49,680 Speaker 9: expect to see Alabama money and didn't really get it today. 1228 01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:51,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, that's interesting. 1229 01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:55,920 Speaker 7: I'm looking at this Utah game they're hosting UCLA. Anybody's 1230 01:00:55,920 --> 01:00:59,080 Speaker 7: been paying attention to the Bruins. They know that they 1231 01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:01,960 Speaker 7: have something special. And Dante Moore quarterback, and I look 1232 01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:04,000 Speaker 7: at the other side and Cam Rising is a huge 1233 01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:06,760 Speaker 7: question mark. You's favorite at home three and a half 1234 01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:10,080 Speaker 7: right now via bet mgm A. 1235 01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:12,800 Speaker 6: I have a weird feeling about this game. 1236 01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:18,280 Speaker 7: Is it difficult to handicap these games when you have 1237 01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:21,160 Speaker 7: such a question mark at quarterback? Or can I assume 1238 01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:24,360 Speaker 7: based on the spread that some of those questions have 1239 01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:27,160 Speaker 7: been answered for Utah? 1240 01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:29,240 Speaker 9: Yeah, this one it's a little bit baked in. But 1241 01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:32,720 Speaker 9: the quarterback uncertainty in the quarterback is the artist in 1242 01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:35,880 Speaker 9: the handicap because it's a position that is just that 1243 01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:38,880 Speaker 9: they does everything. So the difference also between the starting 1244 01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:42,200 Speaker 9: quarterback and backup is can be so significant that hanging 1245 01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:44,760 Speaker 9: really any number out there is really going to change 1246 01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:46,280 Speaker 9: when you find out the number, but this one has 1247 01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:48,640 Speaker 9: been a little bit more baked in. We're probably not 1248 01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:51,960 Speaker 9: going to see Cam rising, it looks like, but right 1249 01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:54,360 Speaker 9: now we're about fifty fifty money there as well, so 1250 01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:56,680 Speaker 9: people not jumping on UCLA as of yet. 1251 01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:01,120 Speaker 4: What do you find the most interesting heading into this 1252 01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:04,320 Speaker 4: loaded Saturday, Christian. It could be the amount of money 1253 01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:06,520 Speaker 4: coming in on one team. It could be a certain 1254 01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:09,480 Speaker 4: point spread, it could be a sharp play, anything that 1255 01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:12,680 Speaker 4: you're like, wow, that's really interesting from a betting standpoint. 1256 01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:13,880 Speaker 3: What's that in your eyes? 1257 01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:15,760 Speaker 7: To me? 1258 01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:18,360 Speaker 9: It's to me it's Colorado Oregon and the amount of 1259 01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:22,200 Speaker 9: money that we've gotten on Oregon it tells me that 1260 01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:25,120 Speaker 9: I guess at least some people are starting to question this, 1261 01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:27,600 Speaker 9: which I'm surprised by. I did not expect as much 1262 01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:30,000 Speaker 9: money to have on Oregan on US twenty one. 1263 01:02:31,040 --> 01:02:33,479 Speaker 8: We haven't talked about Georgia today, and that's probably because 1264 01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:37,320 Speaker 8: they're playing UAB. But overall, Christian, what do you make 1265 01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:39,560 Speaker 8: of Georgia's start to the season. Of course, they're coming 1266 01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:41,400 Speaker 8: off and I mean they're going for the third straight 1267 01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:45,400 Speaker 8: national championship, so I would assume that the expectations are high. 1268 01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:49,240 Speaker 8: But have they lived up to the sportsbooks expectations so 1269 01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:51,760 Speaker 8: far in terms of what we've seen, especially on Georgia's offense, 1270 01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:53,360 Speaker 8: A lot of turnover there. 1271 01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:58,960 Speaker 9: Yeah, They're are everybody's favorite to add in their big parlays. 1272 01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:02,640 Speaker 9: A lot of times they're ten thousand, but there's every 1273 01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:07,120 Speaker 9: single one every time. I mean, they're guarantee you're probably 1274 01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:09,880 Speaker 9: actually getting some value at minus ten thousand most of 1275 01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:15,160 Speaker 9: the time. Wow, And they're they're just so consistently good. 1276 01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:17,919 Speaker 9: They're right now, just the team that you don't even 1277 01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:19,720 Speaker 9: really think twice about. You know that they're just going 1278 01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:21,800 Speaker 9: to stop whoever they're playing at the moment. So it's 1279 01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:25,120 Speaker 9: just kind of wait for them to play some competition 1280 01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:26,439 Speaker 9: a little bit closer to them. 1281 01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:30,840 Speaker 7: Penn State facing Iowa. They have the white out for 1282 01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:34,760 Speaker 7: this one. They've won the last three, last three straight 1283 01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:38,439 Speaker 7: white outs, five of their last six. I know that 1284 01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:41,160 Speaker 7: the home team obviously gets points, but do you ever 1285 01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:44,880 Speaker 7: put any special emphasis on the handicap when you have 1286 01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:48,520 Speaker 7: a special event being thrown by the home team, like 1287 01:03:48,560 --> 01:03:51,680 Speaker 7: a whiteout at Penn State, because it really does ratchet 1288 01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:55,040 Speaker 7: up the home environment for the Nitney Lions and for 1289 01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:59,200 Speaker 7: other teams that have special events that are plastered all 1290 01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:02,920 Speaker 7: over social media and all over the traditional media leading 1291 01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:03,720 Speaker 7: into the matchup. 1292 01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:07,320 Speaker 9: Yeah, they don't really tend to end up playing too 1293 01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:10,040 Speaker 9: too much of a factor. The home field advantage factors it, 1294 01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:11,960 Speaker 9: and then you know, maybe give it a little half 1295 01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:13,560 Speaker 9: a point here or there if you know it ends 1296 01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:15,240 Speaker 9: up being a big game that will be the a 1297 01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:17,080 Speaker 9: loud environment. It helps when it's a you know, a 1298 01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:18,960 Speaker 9: seven thirty game that you know is going to be, 1299 01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:21,720 Speaker 9: you know, blistering loud. It's going to be tough for IOWA. 1300 01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:24,680 Speaker 9: But I would plays football that you know, maybe can 1301 01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:26,959 Speaker 9: try to help counter that. Running the football and playing 1302 01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:29,760 Speaker 9: good defense is one way to shut up the crowd. 1303 01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:32,880 Speaker 4: Well, hey, Christian, thanks for the time today, man, enjoy 1304 01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:34,400 Speaker 4: the day and go irish. 1305 01:04:34,640 --> 01:04:35,520 Speaker 3: Can I say that to you? 1306 01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:40,440 Speaker 9: I don't know, it's. 1307 01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:42,520 Speaker 5: Fun, Okay, I probably need I like you with it? 1308 01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:46,520 Speaker 4: Very good stuff, all right, man, Christian Sipolini bet MGM 1309 01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:50,720 Speaker 4: trading manager.

For example, if you're 1351 01:07:07,560 --> 01:07:09,920 Speaker 4: in the DMV area, no need to worry about making 1352 01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:14,520 Speaker 4: separate accounts for DC, Maryland and Virginia when crossing state borders. 1353 01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:18,960 Speaker 4: Simply log on to your existing account instead of creating 1354 01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:21,479 Speaker 4: a new one. I love that rich to Padres kicking 1355 01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:24,400 Speaker 4: it into gear to probably fall just short of a 1356 01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:26,400 Speaker 4: playoffs fo oh oh. 1357 01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:28,680 Speaker 6: I mean it, it is absolutely absurd. 1358 01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:32,640 Speaker 7: Look, I know there's there's six ranked on ranked college 1359 01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:35,040 Speaker 7: football matchups here, so we'll get back to that in 1360 01:07:35,080 --> 01:07:38,800 Speaker 7: a moment. But my goodness, to Padres have been all 1361 01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:42,040 Speaker 7: but mathematically eliminated from playoff contention. 1362 01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:43,640 Speaker 3: Let's just win a bunch of games. 1363 01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:46,600 Speaker 7: Yeah, go on a wedding streak like legitimately point zero 1364 01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:51,640 Speaker 7: one percent per fan graphs in terms of making the 1365 01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:55,840 Speaker 7: playoffs before this, this seven or now eight game run, 1366 01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:57,960 Speaker 7: it's it's just been absolutely bizarre. 1367 01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:00,520 Speaker 5: So usually a margin FORERRA on those, so be zero, 1368 01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:01,880 Speaker 5: really right right there? 1369 01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:04,560 Speaker 3: You go, be negative zero. 1370 01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:05,720 Speaker 6: I don't know they could be. 1371 01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:08,439 Speaker 7: I mean, if it were possible, they would be less 1372 01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:10,920 Speaker 7: than zero in terms of chances. But they've warred back. 1373 01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:14,120 Speaker 7: They've won eight straight. It is the most bizarre season 1374 01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:15,320 Speaker 7: in baseball hit. 1375 01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:17,080 Speaker 8: It makes sense actually if you think about who the 1376 01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:19,599 Speaker 8: Padres are and also a nice cover for your astecs. 1377 01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:21,680 Speaker 8: Last night they got they got the seven home for us, 1378 01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:23,800 Speaker 8: A tough they didn't get across the finish line on 1379 01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:24,040 Speaker 8: the win. 1380 01:08:24,280 --> 01:08:25,479 Speaker 5: Yeah, we were nice river for us. 1381 01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:27,679 Speaker 7: We were talking about it earlier in the week, Jared, 1382 01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:29,880 Speaker 7: you know, and it was just one of those things 1383 01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:32,880 Speaker 7: where I think a lot of people are over inflating 1384 01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:37,760 Speaker 7: boise and probably undervaluing San Diego State, or I should 1385 01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:38,719 Speaker 7: say books were. 1386 01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:40,439 Speaker 5: The astet should have won that game out right. 1387 01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:42,360 Speaker 8: You had to fumble on the first drive and the 1388 01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:45,479 Speaker 8: turnover there and the third quarter on the fumble, and. 1389 01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:49,639 Speaker 7: Yep, that's a fourteen point swing. That's a fourteen point swing. 1390 01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:53,000 Speaker 7: So yeah, San Diego State drops to two and three 1391 01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:54,840 Speaker 7: on the season as a result. 1392 01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:57,639 Speaker 4: All right, Well, you mentioned ranked versus ranked. We got 1393 01:08:57,640 --> 01:08:59,160 Speaker 4: another one of those let's do this. 1394 01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:02,680 Speaker 2: No big ten matchup of the day. 1395 01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:06,759 Speaker 4: All right, we got number twenty four Iowa against number 1396 01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:11,639 Speaker 4: seven Penn State. Bad news for Iowa's offense. Luke liche 1397 01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:14,840 Speaker 4: stud tight end. He's probably gone for the remainder of 1398 01:09:14,880 --> 01:09:20,200 Speaker 4: the season. Had ankle surgery got banged up last week. So, man, 1399 01:09:20,240 --> 01:09:24,920 Speaker 4: you look at this Ohio offense. They are they're rough, 1400 01:09:25,479 --> 01:09:28,080 Speaker 4: and then they lose one of their major weapons. They 1401 01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:30,680 Speaker 4: don't have a whole lot to put a stress, to 1402 01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:34,639 Speaker 4: put any stress on a defense. And going up at 1403 01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:38,760 Speaker 4: Penn State today, I just can't see Kate McNamara and 1404 01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:40,679 Speaker 4: Iowa scoring many points. 1405 01:09:41,080 --> 01:09:43,559 Speaker 3: So the total is only thirty eight and a half. 1406 01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:45,400 Speaker 3: You gotta ask yourself, does. 1407 01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:49,320 Speaker 4: Iowa score more than ten points today? If your answer 1408 01:09:49,439 --> 01:09:53,760 Speaker 4: is no, then that under might hit. That's what I'm 1409 01:09:53,800 --> 01:09:55,280 Speaker 4: because Iowa plays real defense. 1410 01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:57,080 Speaker 6: They play real defense. 1411 01:09:57,280 --> 01:09:57,479 Speaker 5: You know. 1412 01:09:57,560 --> 01:10:01,400 Speaker 7: Look, after fielding one of the worst offenses in the 1413 01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:05,400 Speaker 7: country a year ago, they are still fielding one of 1414 01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:09,839 Speaker 7: the worst offenses the next year. And the Hawk guys 1415 01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:13,799 Speaker 7: are also in the bottom ten and in rushing and receiving, 1416 01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:17,040 Speaker 7: I mean they are they are just really they're really 1417 01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:22,000 Speaker 7: a struggle to watch. Offensively, however, oh, actually, before I 1418 01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:24,080 Speaker 7: move on to to the defensive side of the ball, 1419 01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:27,080 Speaker 7: for Iowa, they also face a Penn State defense that 1420 01:10:27,200 --> 01:10:32,519 Speaker 7: has forced five turnovers just a week ago. It's it's 1421 01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:35,160 Speaker 7: it's gonna be a struggle offensively for Iowa. 1422 01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:38,000 Speaker 3: This is an incredible matchup. 1423 01:10:38,080 --> 01:10:41,559 Speaker 7: Though for Iowa's defense, if they have any chance of winning, 1424 01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:45,040 Speaker 7: it is going to be by by slowing down what 1425 01:10:45,080 --> 01:10:47,559 Speaker 7: the Penn State Nidney Lions do well, which is run 1426 01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:50,479 Speaker 7: the ball and then supplant that run game with the 1427 01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:54,519 Speaker 7: passing game. But this Hawkeys defense, they're they're top five 1428 01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:59,840 Speaker 7: against the run, They're great great coverage, uh or should 1429 01:10:59,880 --> 01:11:04,000 Speaker 7: say they're great in coverage. This is this is probably 1430 01:11:04,280 --> 01:11:06,439 Speaker 7: if I were going to give you the top five 1431 01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:10,280 Speaker 7: defenses in all of that FBS I'm giving, I'm putting 1432 01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:13,120 Speaker 7: the Iowa Hawk guys in there, and easily they'd be 1433 01:11:13,160 --> 01:11:14,160 Speaker 7: a top five defense. 1434 01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:16,800 Speaker 8: I think I'm putting Penn State's defense in there too, 1435 01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:19,479 Speaker 8: And I think the bugaboo for Penn State has been 1436 01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:24,240 Speaker 8: the explosive plays because the havoc rate, the sack rate, 1437 01:11:24,360 --> 01:11:26,600 Speaker 8: the pressure rates all there. But sometimes they get a 1438 01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:29,519 Speaker 8: little bit unbuttoned in the back and they'll give up 1439 01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:30,960 Speaker 8: a big play. But I don't know if Iowa was 1440 01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:33,160 Speaker 8: offense is going to take advantage of that weakness because 1441 01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:36,760 Speaker 8: Manny Diaz has got these dudes rolling. And the one 1442 01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:39,480 Speaker 8: thing I've noticed about Iowa was defense not as productive 1443 01:11:39,520 --> 01:11:42,080 Speaker 8: as last year, and it makes sense because they lost 1444 01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:44,800 Speaker 8: two out of the top eighteen picks in the NFL draft, 1445 01:11:44,880 --> 01:11:47,800 Speaker 8: van Ness and Campbell, and the third round selection. Their 1446 01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:51,680 Speaker 8: cornerback Moss is also a star, so they've really had 1447 01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:54,600 Speaker 8: to reload a lot. I don't understand how i was 1448 01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:56,679 Speaker 8: offense moves the ball in this game. Kate McNamara looks 1449 01:11:56,720 --> 01:11:59,160 Speaker 8: like he can barely walk. He's averaging six yards per 1450 01:11:59,160 --> 01:12:00,760 Speaker 8: attempt explosives. 1451 01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:02,160 Speaker 5: It just it feels like a. 1452 01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:04,360 Speaker 8: Game where Penn State just kind of strangles the life 1453 01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:06,760 Speaker 8: out of Iowa. Maybe makes one or two plays, and 1454 01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:09,920 Speaker 8: turnovers is key. Penn State one of three teams in 1455 01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:12,960 Speaker 8: the country that has yet to commit a turnover. Credit 1456 01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:15,200 Speaker 8: Drewler for that. He's been very clean in his first 1457 01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:16,240 Speaker 8: few starts under center. 1458 01:12:16,479 --> 01:12:19,920 Speaker 4: Okay, we've got Rich Hornberger, Penn State all American. We've 1459 01:12:19,960 --> 01:12:23,599 Speaker 4: got Jared Smith went to Penn State FSR betting analyst. 1460 01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:28,639 Speaker 4: The Ioware Penn State breakdown was fueled by two thirds 1461 01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:33,080 Speaker 4: of Penn State brads. I'm not betting Penn State gay 1462 01:12:33,080 --> 01:12:35,880 Speaker 4: and I'm Brian No coming up next.

There's one 1485 01:13:47,800 --> 01:13:51,800 Speaker 4: I've got my eye on because West Virginia's past defense 1486 01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:55,200 Speaker 4: is not good. And last week I don't know if 1487 01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:59,840 Speaker 4: you saw Pit against West Virginia, but all they did 1488 01:13:59,920 --> 01:14:04,680 Speaker 4: was run the ball like fil Jerkovik, the bit quarterback. 1489 01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:07,240 Speaker 4: He threw for under one hundred yards. I think this 1490 01:14:07,320 --> 01:14:10,400 Speaker 4: is a bi lo spot. I'm looking at Tyler Shock, 1491 01:14:10,479 --> 01:14:14,599 Speaker 4: the former Oregon quarterback. I think Tyler Shock over two 1492 01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:18,400 Speaker 4: seventy two and a half on bet MGM. It's a 1493 01:14:18,439 --> 01:14:21,439 Speaker 4: sneaky good spot because you didn't see last week a 1494 01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:24,559 Speaker 4: team throw it all over West Virginia. But that's what 1495 01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:27,479 Speaker 4: Texas Tech likes to do, and in this spot, I 1496 01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:30,120 Speaker 4: think that's what they do. I'm gonna take Tyler Shuck 1497 01:14:30,160 --> 01:14:34,599 Speaker 4: getting to at least two seventy three today, Jared, what. 1498 01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:35,080 Speaker 6: Do you got? 1499 01:14:35,400 --> 01:14:38,160 Speaker 5: I don't hate it. There's a few things I'm looking 1500 01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:38,639 Speaker 5: at today. 1501 01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:42,599 Speaker 8: I'll give you the Ship League rushing yards from over 1502 01:14:42,680 --> 01:14:45,160 Speaker 8: sixty six and a half rushing yards at MGM. Again, 1503 01:14:45,200 --> 01:14:47,519 Speaker 8: we talked about this off the top Florida State's defense 1504 01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:52,240 Speaker 8: one hundred and twenty in rushing defensive efficiency and they're 1505 01:14:52,240 --> 01:14:57,320 Speaker 8: one hundred and thirteen in defensive efficiency on early downs. Again, 1506 01:14:57,400 --> 01:14:59,960 Speaker 8: I didn't expect that because when you watch that LSU get. 1507 01:15:00,640 --> 01:15:04,280 Speaker 8: You really saw an aggressive, exciting Florida State defense with 1508 01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:09,479 Speaker 8: some serious firepower up front, like big athletic dudes up 1509 01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:12,000 Speaker 8: front of the middle that you would expect very good 1510 01:15:12,040 --> 01:15:14,439 Speaker 8: against the run, but maybe the discipline and the scheme 1511 01:15:15,080 --> 01:15:18,000 Speaker 8: not quite there for this Florida State defense yet. And 1512 01:15:18,040 --> 01:15:20,200 Speaker 8: I think if there is a recipe for Clemson to 1513 01:15:20,240 --> 01:15:22,080 Speaker 8: win this game is to take the ball out of 1514 01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:25,559 Speaker 8: Kate Clubnicks hands and into the Clemson backs hands. I'd 1515 01:15:25,600 --> 01:15:28,280 Speaker 8: put Phil Maffa on that list as well, but we 1516 01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:29,920 Speaker 8: didn't see. I didn't see a number for him. You 1517 01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:33,000 Speaker 8: might find it at another shot, but at MGM Shipley 1518 01:15:33,320 --> 01:15:35,960 Speaker 8: over sixty six and a half rushing yard certain initially 1519 01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:38,040 Speaker 8: look and I'll give you two touchdown props. These are 1520 01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:42,599 Speaker 8: both PAC twelve touchdown props. Cameron Ward, Washington State quarterback 1521 01:15:42,920 --> 01:15:45,200 Speaker 8: plus money on a touchdown prop and he scored two 1522 01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:49,080 Speaker 8: out of three games this year and Carson Steele minus 1523 01:15:49,120 --> 01:15:52,640 Speaker 8: one thirty for the UCLA back. Today we mentioned this 1524 01:15:52,760 --> 01:15:55,080 Speaker 8: and Brian you a good nugget on him up the top. 1525 01:15:55,080 --> 01:15:56,760 Speaker 8: So after over eight yards of carrig, I mean he 1526 01:15:56,840 --> 01:15:59,840 Speaker 8: is a stud again the match ball State guy. That's 1527 01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:03,639 Speaker 8: actually how Ucla recruited him was by watching maction games 1528 01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:06,639 Speaker 8: last year, and now he is the lead back on 1529 01:16:06,680 --> 01:16:10,120 Speaker 8: this Bruins offense. And he has scored in all three 1530 01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:13,400 Speaker 8: games this season. So Carson Steel touchdown, Cameron were touchdown, 1531 01:16:13,479 --> 01:16:15,920 Speaker 8: Shipley over sixty six and a half up. 1532 01:16:16,080 --> 01:16:18,519 Speaker 7: All right, I'll give you one. Keep an eye on 1533 01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:23,400 Speaker 7: this Tennessee Volunteers game. They're hosting the UTSA road Runners. 1534 01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:28,960 Speaker 7: The offense really hasn't taken off. Pendon Hooker's gone, Milton 1535 01:16:29,360 --> 01:16:33,800 Speaker 7: at quarterback hasn't looked quite right leaning on the running game. 1536 01:16:34,240 --> 01:16:38,840 Speaker 7: And Jailen Right, he's been superb this year. He's a 1537 01:16:38,920 --> 01:16:42,360 Speaker 7: yard turner. He's rushed for two hundred thirty three yards 1538 01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:46,479 Speaker 7: nine point three yards per attempt. This fifty nine and 1539 01:16:46,520 --> 01:16:49,600 Speaker 7: a half rushing yards feels like a low mark that 1540 01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:53,160 Speaker 7: he'll sail past. I'm taking the over there with Jellen 1541 01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:56,040 Speaker 7: Right running back for the Tennessee Volunteers. 1542 01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:56,680 Speaker 5: I like it. 1543 01:16:57,560 --> 01:17:03,040 Speaker 4: You know, I'm trying to study Jared's reactions to things. 1544 01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:05,559 Speaker 4: You see right there. He said, I like it. What 1545 01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:08,400 Speaker 4: he said about mine was I don't hate it now. 1546 01:17:10,520 --> 01:17:13,680 Speaker 4: He said that last week, Rich, when you took Bama 1547 01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:16,360 Speaker 4: in the first quarter against Florida. 1548 01:17:16,479 --> 01:17:19,880 Speaker 3: I don't hate it, and now I didn't hate. 1549 01:17:20,160 --> 01:17:22,360 Speaker 8: This is the gambler's fallacy what you're doing right now, Brian, 1550 01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:24,679 Speaker 8: because honestly, I don't think about what I say. 1551 01:17:24,720 --> 01:17:25,519 Speaker 5: I just say it something. 1552 01:17:25,560 --> 01:17:28,280 Speaker 3: You just say it. But it's how you feel. It's 1553 01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:29,040 Speaker 3: in your guts. 1554 01:17:29,080 --> 01:17:35,080 Speaker 4: You know your left eye, which left which said, I 1555 01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:37,200 Speaker 4: don't know if that's the side of mind. 1556 01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:38,599 Speaker 3: I don't know, it could be. 1557 01:17:38,760 --> 01:17:39,080 Speaker 5: I don't know. 1558 01:17:39,560 --> 01:17:42,200 Speaker 8: All right, from now on, I am now putting sunglasses 1559 01:17:42,280 --> 01:17:44,519 Speaker 8: on and I'm going to be like Phil helm youth 1560 01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:49,400 Speaker 8: trying to get to read at the poker tables. 1561 01:17:49,960 --> 01:17:52,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, man, that's the thing. There are. 1562 01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:56,240 Speaker 8: There's a lot but menus expanded at MGM this year 1563 01:17:56,280 --> 01:17:56,960 Speaker 8: for college football. 1564 01:17:57,000 --> 01:17:57,720 Speaker 5: It's been really good. 1565 01:17:58,280 --> 01:18:03,920 Speaker 4: We'll continue that conversation with the matchup of the day, Angles, props, 1566 01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:05,400 Speaker 4: all that and more. 1567 01:18:05,240 --> 01:18:07,599 Speaker 3: Coming up right around the corner. Oh, what is going 1568 01:18:07,640 --> 01:18:08,360 Speaker 3: on everybody? 1569 01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:12,519 Speaker 4: We are less than an hour away from kickoff and 1570 01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:17,559 Speaker 4: we are loaded with some great, great matchups, six games 1571 01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:23,479 Speaker 4: featuring two ranked teams. I'm most excited, obviously for my 1572 01:18:23,600 --> 01:18:26,800 Speaker 4: Irish Top ten matchup against Ohio State. 1573 01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:29,519 Speaker 3: Is that the game that you have circled the most. 1574 01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:32,800 Speaker 4: You Penn State grads, eh, are you going somewhere else 1575 01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:33,880 Speaker 4: here on the board. 1576 01:18:34,840 --> 01:18:38,360 Speaker 7: The Oregon I'm caught up in the hype. The Oregon 1577 01:18:38,400 --> 01:18:43,040 Speaker 7: Colorado game has my attention. I have a feeling it's 1578 01:18:43,080 --> 01:18:46,640 Speaker 7: going to be a scoring bonanza. I think that the 1579 01:18:46,680 --> 01:18:49,799 Speaker 7: book is probably right in terms of the points spread. 1580 01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:54,960 Speaker 7: I think Colorado finally gets tested by a team that 1581 01:18:55,040 --> 01:18:59,120 Speaker 7: doesn't only play good offense, but can play good defense. 1582 01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:01,760 Speaker 7: The Ducks will give up some points to Colorado. They 1583 01:19:01,800 --> 01:19:04,080 Speaker 7: have a very talented offense, they have skill position, they 1584 01:19:04,080 --> 01:19:05,080 Speaker 7: have a great quarterback. 1585 01:19:05,960 --> 01:19:09,719 Speaker 6: But this, but this game still has the juice. 1586 01:19:09,800 --> 01:19:14,679 Speaker 7: So outside of my alma mater playing in the white 1587 01:19:14,680 --> 01:19:19,960 Speaker 7: out seven thirty kickoff East Coast time against Iowa, it's 1588 01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:21,479 Speaker 7: gotta be Colorado Ducks. 1589 01:19:21,920 --> 01:19:23,839 Speaker 6: That's That's the game that has my attention. 1590 01:19:24,439 --> 01:19:27,320 Speaker 8: Florida State Clemson is very interesting too. It is, Yeah, 1591 01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:30,000 Speaker 8: I think more so because I think the winner of 1592 01:19:30,040 --> 01:19:34,720 Speaker 8: that game is basically in a front runner scenario for 1593 01:19:34,760 --> 01:19:37,519 Speaker 8: the College Football Playoff. Maybe if they can win out, 1594 01:19:37,600 --> 01:19:40,120 Speaker 8: especially if it's Florida State. Maybe not Clemson, but really 1595 01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:43,559 Speaker 8: if it's Florida State, I really think they do Oregon State. 1596 01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:47,240 Speaker 8: Washington State's sneaky interesting too. We've talked a lot about 1597 01:19:47,240 --> 01:19:49,160 Speaker 8: this Oregon State team. I've got over eight wins for 1598 01:19:49,200 --> 01:19:50,920 Speaker 8: them on the season. They're off to a great start. 1599 01:19:51,320 --> 01:19:55,080 Speaker 8: I think Washington State, we might change the narrative today 1600 01:19:55,120 --> 01:19:57,800 Speaker 8: on this Oregon State feel good story if Wazoo after 1601 01:19:57,960 --> 01:19:59,920 Speaker 8: a really I mean you talk about a really good start. 1602 01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:03,000 Speaker 8: They blow out Colorado State and then they beat Wisconsin at home, 1603 01:20:03,040 --> 01:20:06,719 Speaker 8: and we might be thinking about Cameron Ward very differently 1604 01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:08,599 Speaker 8: today if they could pull out a win as a 1605 01:20:08,600 --> 01:20:10,920 Speaker 8: home underdog against Oregon State. 1606 01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:12,639 Speaker 5: So I think those and the PAC twelve. 1607 01:20:12,800 --> 01:20:16,160 Speaker 8: I think the PAC twelve deserves the spotlight today and 1608 01:20:16,200 --> 01:20:20,559 Speaker 8: they're getting it with three just knockdown, drag out affairs. 1609 01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:22,160 Speaker 5: It's gonna be a fun day for the PAC twelve. 1610 01:20:22,320 --> 01:20:24,160 Speaker 4: Well, I think a couple of things building off what 1611 01:20:24,240 --> 01:20:27,679 Speaker 4: you guys just laid right down. I think Cameron Ward 1612 01:20:28,120 --> 01:20:30,720 Speaker 4: is the forgotten man in the PAC twelve. You think 1613 01:20:30,720 --> 01:20:34,200 Speaker 4: about how star studded it is with quarterbacks there where 1614 01:20:34,560 --> 01:20:38,160 Speaker 4: Caleb Williams is reigning Heisman winner, should do er Sanders 1615 01:20:38,200 --> 01:20:41,920 Speaker 4: has gotten a ton of props, and rightfully so. This 1616 01:20:42,040 --> 01:20:46,080 Speaker 4: far he's been tremendous. Michael Pennix Junior has been sensational. 1617 01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:49,360 Speaker 4: It's just bo Nicks like, you've got all these dudes 1618 01:20:49,439 --> 01:20:53,200 Speaker 4: in the PAC twelve. DJ you gets way more attention 1619 01:20:53,360 --> 01:20:57,080 Speaker 4: than Cameron Ward does. So Cameron Ward with nine touchdowns 1620 01:20:57,080 --> 01:20:59,880 Speaker 4: no picks. This could be the game where he's star. 1621 01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:02,479 Speaker 4: Arts to get some recognition, starts to get some love. 1622 01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:07,000 Speaker 4: We'll see how that shakes out. And man, I also 1623 01:21:07,040 --> 01:21:11,120 Speaker 4: think this too. Richie pointed out the Colorado game. If 1624 01:21:11,160 --> 01:21:14,320 Speaker 4: Colorado gets dusted today, and that very well might happen. 1625 01:21:15,200 --> 01:21:17,800 Speaker 3: I hope people aren't stupid about it. I hope it's not. 1626 01:21:17,920 --> 01:21:20,120 Speaker 3: Oh it's all hype, no substance. 1627 01:21:20,200 --> 01:21:22,400 Speaker 4: Deon Sanders with the flash and the sizzle and the 1628 01:21:22,439 --> 01:21:25,479 Speaker 4: blah blah blah blah blah. This is year one, yeah 1629 01:21:25,479 --> 01:21:28,439 Speaker 4: for three and oh they won one game last season. 1630 01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:31,200 Speaker 4: I think they're up against it today. But I hope 1631 01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:33,440 Speaker 4: people aren't stupid if that's the way it unfolds. 1632 01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:37,120 Speaker 7: I completely agree with that, Brian. I think I think 1633 01:21:37,120 --> 01:21:40,400 Speaker 7: what Dion Sanders has done, and he's got a rough 1634 01:21:40,400 --> 01:21:44,120 Speaker 7: stretch here because he's got to face the Ducks in 1635 01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:48,080 Speaker 7: Eugene and then they're hosting fifth ranked USC. 1636 01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:51,479 Speaker 3: Uh, It's it's gonna be rough. It's gonna be. 1637 01:21:51,439 --> 01:21:53,160 Speaker 6: Rough for Colorado through this stretch. 1638 01:21:53,280 --> 01:21:57,559 Speaker 7: But having said that, they then face Arizona State on 1639 01:21:57,600 --> 01:22:00,000 Speaker 7: the road, who just got it absolutely fed to them 1640 01:22:00,160 --> 01:22:03,479 Speaker 7: by Fresno State. I mean that feels like another win 1641 01:22:03,640 --> 01:22:07,439 Speaker 7: right now. Of course, injuries can factor anything, but they 1642 01:22:07,520 --> 01:22:12,520 Speaker 7: host Stanford after that. I mean, just looking at Colorado 1643 01:22:13,080 --> 01:22:17,400 Speaker 7: right now, if we're gonna count Oregon and USC as losses, 1644 01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:20,799 Speaker 7: that's a five and two football team halfway through the season, 1645 01:22:20,920 --> 01:22:23,280 Speaker 7: or more than halfway through the season before they have 1646 01:22:23,360 --> 01:22:25,680 Speaker 7: to go on the road and face UCLA. If you 1647 01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:29,840 Speaker 7: would have told me before the season that heading into 1648 01:22:29,880 --> 01:22:34,800 Speaker 7: the matchup in La, the Colorado Buffaloes would be five 1649 01:22:34,880 --> 01:22:36,639 Speaker 7: and two, I would say you're crazy. 1650 01:22:36,760 --> 01:22:38,920 Speaker 6: I would say you are out of your mind. They 1651 01:22:38,920 --> 01:22:39,479 Speaker 6: have so. 1652 01:22:40,880 --> 01:22:43,439 Speaker 7: Changed the culture there, I should say Dion has so 1653 01:22:43,600 --> 01:22:48,040 Speaker 7: changed the culture there that I mean I'm counting wins 1654 01:22:48,120 --> 01:22:52,000 Speaker 7: for the Colorado Buffaloes as opposed to really counting losses, 1655 01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:54,320 Speaker 7: which is something we haven't been able to do in 1656 01:22:54,439 --> 01:22:55,800 Speaker 7: years and years and years and years. 1657 01:22:56,280 --> 01:22:57,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, let's be honest. 1658 01:22:57,160 --> 01:22:59,320 Speaker 8: The goal for this team all year was just to 1659 01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:03,240 Speaker 8: win a game. Probably to their win total was three 1660 01:23:03,240 --> 01:23:05,200 Speaker 8: and a half and there was money in the under. 1661 01:23:05,560 --> 01:23:09,920 Speaker 8: They have already exceeded expectations with just three wins, and 1662 01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:13,640 Speaker 8: I think we're going to see them maybe make a 1663 01:23:13,680 --> 01:23:14,200 Speaker 8: bowl game. 1664 01:23:14,240 --> 01:23:15,839 Speaker 5: I think that's kind of the ceiling. 1665 01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:19,200 Speaker 8: And that was, frankly the ceiling that was, you know, 1666 01:23:19,360 --> 01:23:22,600 Speaker 8: Empire State building like tall heading into the season. But 1667 01:23:22,720 --> 01:23:25,639 Speaker 8: now I think the goal of reaching a bowl game 1668 01:23:25,720 --> 01:23:28,240 Speaker 8: is very attainable for this team. However, the back twelve, 1669 01:23:28,280 --> 01:23:32,639 Speaker 8: as we mentioned today, with six ranked teams, three playing 1670 01:23:32,640 --> 01:23:35,080 Speaker 8: each other against the other three, I mean, it really 1671 01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:40,920 Speaker 8: is remarkable how deep this conference has become. And you're right, Brian, 1672 01:23:42,040 --> 01:23:44,320 Speaker 8: the narrative on this team. I remember I posted a 1673 01:23:44,360 --> 01:23:46,760 Speaker 8: video from the first week of the season when we 1674 01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:48,840 Speaker 8: were talking about the TCU Colorado game, and the video 1675 01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:52,360 Speaker 8: that I posted was the take was Colorado's going to 1676 01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:54,840 Speaker 8: be the most volatile team in college football this year 1677 01:23:54,880 --> 01:23:57,360 Speaker 8: because of you know, just how deep they are as 1678 01:23:57,400 --> 01:24:00,519 Speaker 8: a roster and obviously the attention. And I think the 1679 01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:03,800 Speaker 8: same could be said about the reactions to Colorado the 1680 01:24:03,800 --> 01:24:07,320 Speaker 8: most volatile of any team in college football. You're either 1681 01:24:07,439 --> 01:24:10,240 Speaker 8: high or you're low. And I think the reality is 1682 01:24:10,320 --> 01:24:12,439 Speaker 8: especially in the NFL. We talk about this, You're never 1683 01:24:12,479 --> 01:24:14,200 Speaker 8: as good as your worst week. You're never as bad 1684 01:24:14,360 --> 01:24:15,880 Speaker 8: or you're never as good as your best week, never 1685 01:24:15,920 --> 01:24:17,080 Speaker 8: as bad as your worst week. 1686 01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:18,839 Speaker 5: You're probably somewhere in between. 1687 01:24:19,200 --> 01:24:22,519 Speaker 8: We have these high expectations for Colorado after their upsets. 1688 01:24:22,680 --> 01:24:25,040 Speaker 8: Now they might be down at the floor after they 1689 01:24:25,080 --> 01:24:28,679 Speaker 8: get blown out today. Colorado's probably somewhere in the middle 1690 01:24:28,680 --> 01:24:31,000 Speaker 8: between all of that. They're probably a five hundred team. 1691 01:24:31,240 --> 01:24:34,439 Speaker 8: They've got elite coaching and really good athletes at the 1692 01:24:34,439 --> 01:24:36,639 Speaker 8: top of their roster, but the rest of the roster 1693 01:24:36,800 --> 01:24:39,280 Speaker 8: is very thin, especially upfront in the trenches. 1694 01:24:39,640 --> 01:24:41,759 Speaker 5: That's where Oregon is going to take advantage today. 1695 01:24:41,920 --> 01:24:45,679 Speaker 4: Well, the only top ten matchup we have today Number 1696 01:24:45,720 --> 01:24:48,320 Speaker 4: six Ohio State, number nine. 1697 01:24:48,200 --> 01:24:49,479 Speaker 3: Notre Dame. Notre Dame. 1698 01:24:49,560 --> 01:24:54,200 Speaker 4: We're in all green, not just the green jerseys onleets. 1699 01:24:54,800 --> 01:24:56,880 Speaker 5: It's the record in the all Greens. Do we have that? 1700 01:24:57,400 --> 01:25:00,800 Speaker 5: I don't overall like that is a reason for betting 1701 01:25:00,800 --> 01:25:01,160 Speaker 5: on either. 1702 01:25:01,400 --> 01:25:03,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, Like they've it's been a mixed bag. 1703 01:25:04,240 --> 01:25:07,120 Speaker 4: They've had some legendary moments where Joe Montana and the 1704 01:25:07,160 --> 01:25:10,400 Speaker 4: boys are wearing green they take down USC, and they've 1705 01:25:10,400 --> 01:25:14,680 Speaker 4: had some not so legendary moments in the green right yeh, 1706 01:25:15,160 --> 01:25:15,799 Speaker 4: mixed back. 1707 01:25:16,240 --> 01:25:19,120 Speaker 7: Yeah, been a couple of whoopsies mixed in there as well. 1708 01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:24,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll never forget the ninety two Irish they went 1709 01:25:24,360 --> 01:25:27,240 Speaker 4: to the Sugar Bowl and beat Florida. I believe they 1710 01:25:27,240 --> 01:25:29,600 Speaker 4: were big underdogs in that game. Jerome Bettis had a 1711 01:25:29,640 --> 01:25:33,559 Speaker 4: great game. They're wearing white uniforms, just the numbers were green. 1712 01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:36,200 Speaker 3: So but it was weird. 1713 01:25:36,240 --> 01:25:38,720 Speaker 8: It was alternate uniforms in all of college football. Like 1714 01:25:38,880 --> 01:25:41,240 Speaker 8: I'm more of a classic uniform guy, Like that's why 1715 01:25:41,240 --> 01:25:41,960 Speaker 8: i love State. 1716 01:25:42,080 --> 01:25:44,960 Speaker 4: The weird thing was I'll never forget that game. It 1717 01:25:45,040 --> 01:25:47,440 Speaker 4: was where the Saints play. It was in the Superdome, 1718 01:25:48,080 --> 01:25:51,160 Speaker 4: and they did something weird with the NFL hash marks 1719 01:25:51,240 --> 01:25:54,720 Speaker 4: because college obviously they're wider hash marks. They put I 1720 01:25:54,720 --> 01:25:57,320 Speaker 4: don't even know it was so it was slippery whatever 1721 01:25:57,360 --> 01:26:00,519 Speaker 4: they put on the NFL hash mark. And there are 1722 01:26:00,560 --> 01:26:02,920 Speaker 4: a couple of times guys are running the ball and 1723 01:26:02,960 --> 01:26:07,040 Speaker 4: they're slipping on these greasy hash marks. It's so strange. 1724 01:26:07,120 --> 01:26:09,600 Speaker 4: But Jerome Bettis was great at that game. But the 1725 01:26:09,720 --> 01:26:11,599 Speaker 4: here and now Here's one thing that I'm thinking of. 1726 01:26:12,439 --> 01:26:16,960 Speaker 4: Notre Dame Secondary is pretty good. But the thing is, 1727 01:26:17,080 --> 01:26:19,040 Speaker 4: I hear a lot of well, they're a lot better 1728 01:26:19,080 --> 01:26:21,439 Speaker 4: than what they were. Listen, it's not about Notre Dame 1729 01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:26,240 Speaker 4: secondary now versus Notre Dame Secondary. Then it's Notre Dame 1730 01:26:26,280 --> 01:26:30,120 Speaker 4: Secondary now against the wide receivers of Ohio State. 1731 01:26:30,240 --> 01:26:30,760 Speaker 6: You know what I mean. 1732 01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:35,000 Speaker 4: Notre Dame's not facing Notre Dame. They're facing Marvin Harrison Junior. 1733 01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:40,400 Speaker 4: They're facing amecha Abuka. They're facing first round talent at 1734 01:26:40,439 --> 01:26:43,240 Speaker 4: the wide receiver spot. And I want to see if 1735 01:26:43,240 --> 01:26:46,479 Speaker 4: that secondary can hold up. Notre Dame's pass rush has 1736 01:26:46,560 --> 01:26:49,320 Speaker 4: got to get home. They've got to limit the time 1737 01:26:49,560 --> 01:26:52,479 Speaker 4: that Kyle McCord has to operate back there. Got to 1738 01:26:52,479 --> 01:26:55,519 Speaker 4: make them uncomfortable. I like Notre Dame Secondary, don't get 1739 01:26:55,520 --> 01:26:58,800 Speaker 4: me wrong, But just because they're improved, it really doesn't 1740 01:26:58,840 --> 01:27:01,559 Speaker 4: mean anything. It's like, how good are they compared to 1741 01:27:01,720 --> 01:27:04,240 Speaker 4: Ohio State tonight? That's all that matters. 1742 01:27:04,960 --> 01:27:06,960 Speaker 7: I I you know, I and I look at I 1743 01:27:07,000 --> 01:27:09,960 Speaker 7: look at cal McCord as unproven. 1744 01:27:10,680 --> 01:27:11,439 Speaker 6: I just don't. 1745 01:27:11,520 --> 01:27:15,120 Speaker 7: I don't really, I don't really see it yet. And 1746 01:27:15,120 --> 01:27:18,360 Speaker 7: and maybe it's because he hasn't had to prove it yet. 1747 01:27:19,600 --> 01:27:21,240 Speaker 6: But he's he's got. 1748 01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:25,720 Speaker 7: As many per Pro Football Focus turnover worthy plays as 1749 01:27:25,720 --> 01:27:30,120 Speaker 7: he does big time throws. So that's the trademark of 1750 01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:34,120 Speaker 7: an inexperienced quarterback, and in a game of this magnitude 1751 01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:37,160 Speaker 7: early in the season, still where he still hasn't really 1752 01:27:37,280 --> 01:27:40,200 Speaker 7: hit stride with these these studs at receiver. 1753 01:27:41,439 --> 01:27:43,000 Speaker 6: I mean, you can't. 1754 01:27:43,040 --> 01:27:45,360 Speaker 7: You can't ask for better skill position players to help 1755 01:27:45,400 --> 01:27:48,760 Speaker 7: you out on the outside. If if this isn't the 1756 01:27:48,800 --> 01:27:51,679 Speaker 7: breakthrough moment from McCord, this could be a rough outing 1757 01:27:51,720 --> 01:27:55,280 Speaker 7: for the Buckeyes because this fighting Irish defense. 1758 01:27:55,640 --> 01:27:56,599 Speaker 6: They're they're real. 1759 01:27:56,880 --> 01:27:59,120 Speaker 7: I don't think they're the best in the nation, but 1760 01:27:59,120 --> 01:28:02,240 Speaker 7: they're real. And he has not stepped up to the 1761 01:28:02,320 --> 01:28:04,840 Speaker 7: challenge as a passer yet. And I do think they're 1762 01:28:04,840 --> 01:28:08,320 Speaker 7: gonna need to throw the football to win this football game. 1763 01:28:08,439 --> 01:28:12,479 Speaker 7: So I'm leaning Irish. I think we talked about this earlier. 1764 01:28:12,520 --> 01:28:15,320 Speaker 7: That's the lean. This is a stay away game for me, 1765 01:28:15,680 --> 01:28:17,880 Speaker 7: and I believe Jared you said the same thing. It 1766 01:28:17,960 --> 01:28:22,240 Speaker 7: just doesn't feel right, but but yeah, this is man, 1767 01:28:22,960 --> 01:28:26,120 Speaker 7: this is a great game. It's so funny how ranked 1768 01:28:26,120 --> 01:28:28,760 Speaker 7: on ranked When you have six games like this, you 1769 01:28:28,800 --> 01:28:31,519 Speaker 7: can make a great argument for any of these games 1770 01:28:31,560 --> 01:28:33,600 Speaker 7: being the game of the week, and any one of 1771 01:28:33,640 --> 01:28:36,320 Speaker 7: these games can end up being the game of the week. 1772 01:28:36,720 --> 01:28:38,200 Speaker 5: Probably gonna get a lot of blowouts. 1773 01:28:38,280 --> 01:28:41,080 Speaker 8: It's usually the case, yeah right, Yeah, the time, these 1774 01:28:41,120 --> 01:28:45,599 Speaker 8: games just get skewed in one direction. I think of 1775 01:28:45,680 --> 01:28:48,200 Speaker 8: all the ranked on ranks this week, I think this 1776 01:28:48,320 --> 01:28:51,120 Speaker 8: Ohio State game is the one that I feel the 1777 01:28:51,240 --> 01:28:53,840 Speaker 8: least strongly about in terms of one side or the other. 1778 01:28:54,560 --> 01:28:57,960 Speaker 8: I really I can make a really strong case why 1779 01:28:58,040 --> 01:29:00,680 Speaker 8: Sam Hartman and the Irish should be favored in this 1780 01:29:00,720 --> 01:29:02,920 Speaker 8: game based on the first three games of the season 1781 01:29:02,960 --> 01:29:05,679 Speaker 8: and how they've looked compared to how Kyle McCord and Ohio. 1782 01:29:05,479 --> 01:29:06,400 Speaker 5: State has looked. 1783 01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:09,040 Speaker 8: But I can also make a really strong case why 1784 01:29:09,320 --> 01:29:13,200 Speaker 8: the competition makes it really hard to grade either team frankly, 1785 01:29:13,640 --> 01:29:17,080 Speaker 8: and that offers a lot of volatility, a lot of variants. 1786 01:29:17,120 --> 01:29:20,160 Speaker 8: When we think both teams have really good players, and 1787 01:29:20,439 --> 01:29:23,559 Speaker 8: I think that's not debatable both sides, especially in the trenches, 1788 01:29:23,640 --> 01:29:26,360 Speaker 8: Notre Dames offensive line and Ohio State's defensive line. I 1789 01:29:26,360 --> 01:29:29,880 Speaker 8: mean that is strength on strength. But the fact that 1790 01:29:29,920 --> 01:29:33,799 Speaker 8: the quarterback position is I think so skewed to one side, 1791 01:29:33,880 --> 01:29:37,880 Speaker 8: Yet the actual team with the better quarterbacks, the underdog. 1792 01:29:38,280 --> 01:29:40,439 Speaker 8: I think the market's trying to tell us that maybe 1793 01:29:40,479 --> 01:29:43,280 Speaker 8: we're overlooking Ohio State in some key areas, and maybe 1794 01:29:43,640 --> 01:29:46,040 Speaker 8: this is the day that we get the best Ohio State. 1795 01:29:46,080 --> 01:29:47,880 Speaker 8: We haven't seen the best Ohio State yet. Maybe this 1796 01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:50,479 Speaker 8: is the day we get them. But again, when you're 1797 01:29:50,560 --> 01:29:53,360 Speaker 8: kind of in that tug of war, that mental gymnastics, 1798 01:29:53,360 --> 01:29:55,800 Speaker 8: when you're breaking down a game and the numbers right 1799 01:29:55,840 --> 01:29:59,240 Speaker 8: on that key of three, it feels like a game 1800 01:29:59,280 --> 01:30:00,759 Speaker 8: that I just kind of want to wash my hands 1801 01:30:00,960 --> 01:30:05,120 Speaker 8: and enjoy from a viewing perspective and learn something from 1802 01:30:05,120 --> 01:30:06,120 Speaker 8: both of these teams. 1803 01:30:06,400 --> 01:30:08,800 Speaker 4: Well, the one thing, well many things, but one of 1804 01:30:08,840 --> 01:30:12,519 Speaker 4: the things I'm looking at is stopping the bleeding. I 1805 01:30:12,560 --> 01:30:15,559 Speaker 4: think it's important for both teams, especially Notre Dame, because 1806 01:30:15,600 --> 01:30:19,880 Speaker 4: if you look at Ohio State, they've quietly gotten on. 1807 01:30:20,000 --> 01:30:21,280 Speaker 3: Big scoring runs. 1808 01:30:21,479 --> 01:30:23,720 Speaker 4: We talk about this in basketball all the time, like 1809 01:30:23,800 --> 01:30:26,519 Speaker 4: all this team's on a seventeen nothing run. We don't 1810 01:30:26,560 --> 01:30:30,080 Speaker 4: talk about that as much in football because the sport 1811 01:30:30,240 --> 01:30:33,000 Speaker 4: is just different. It doesn't stand out to you as much. 1812 01:30:33,280 --> 01:30:36,040 Speaker 4: But if you look at Ohio State, they've had a 1813 01:30:36,160 --> 01:30:40,479 Speaker 4: sixteen to zero like second half scoring run. They finished 1814 01:30:40,479 --> 01:30:42,920 Speaker 4: a game twenty eight nothing on a run like that. 1815 01:30:42,960 --> 01:30:46,719 Speaker 4: They finished forty nine to nothing against Western Kentucky last week. 1816 01:30:47,080 --> 01:30:49,719 Speaker 4: So that's the thing with Notre Dame is Ohio State's 1817 01:30:49,720 --> 01:30:52,640 Speaker 4: gonna score points. Can you break it up? Can you 1818 01:30:52,720 --> 01:30:55,360 Speaker 4: limit the damage where they don't get into groove, where 1819 01:30:55,400 --> 01:30:58,840 Speaker 4: they don't go on a sixteen nothing run on you. 1820 01:30:59,360 --> 01:31:01,520 Speaker 4: And as much as we talk about that in basketball, 1821 01:31:01,760 --> 01:31:05,599 Speaker 4: you'll hear like they've scored twenty three unanswered points. That's 1822 01:31:05,640 --> 01:31:08,960 Speaker 4: really just a twenty three to zero run like we 1823 01:31:09,000 --> 01:31:10,759 Speaker 4: talk about in hoops all the time. 1824 01:31:10,840 --> 01:31:13,320 Speaker 3: But I think that's really important. 1825 01:31:12,840 --> 01:31:16,320 Speaker 4: Today because if you allow a touchdown to Ohio State, Okay, 1826 01:31:16,600 --> 01:31:20,839 Speaker 4: if you allow them to score fourteen, seventeen twenty unanswered, 1827 01:31:20,880 --> 01:31:21,320 Speaker 4: you're done. 1828 01:31:21,439 --> 01:31:21,880 Speaker 5: It's over. 1829 01:31:22,760 --> 01:31:23,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, you know. 1830 01:31:24,040 --> 01:31:27,479 Speaker 7: The matchup to really watch here is the offensive line 1831 01:31:27,479 --> 01:31:31,880 Speaker 7: of Notre Dame against this Ohio State defensive line. The 1832 01:31:31,920 --> 01:31:36,800 Speaker 7: Irish obviously have a great receiving core, but if they 1833 01:31:36,800 --> 01:31:42,599 Speaker 7: can't protect their quarterback your toast, I think they're really 1834 01:31:42,640 --> 01:31:46,880 Speaker 7: gonna have to rely on Estima out of the backfield. 1835 01:31:47,000 --> 01:31:49,599 Speaker 7: I think they're gonna have to loosen up this Ohio 1836 01:31:49,640 --> 01:31:54,639 Speaker 7: State defensive pass rush. So that they can have success 1837 01:31:54,680 --> 01:31:55,479 Speaker 7: in the passing game. 1838 01:31:55,640 --> 01:31:56,960 Speaker 6: This is gonna be a chess match. 1839 01:31:57,040 --> 01:32:00,479 Speaker 7: This really could be one of those games where you know, you, 1840 01:32:00,680 --> 01:32:02,880 Speaker 7: I don't know what's the total points that they have 1841 01:32:02,960 --> 01:32:03,559 Speaker 7: on this one. 1842 01:32:03,640 --> 01:32:05,640 Speaker 3: I I haven't been five and a half, all right, 1843 01:32:05,760 --> 01:32:06,120 Speaker 3: I mean. 1844 01:32:06,080 --> 01:32:07,840 Speaker 6: I look, could the underhit here. 1845 01:32:07,920 --> 01:32:11,040 Speaker 7: I think it's possible because I think if the Irish 1846 01:32:11,080 --> 01:32:13,800 Speaker 7: are going to be in this ball game, I think 1847 01:32:13,840 --> 01:32:16,200 Speaker 7: they're gonna have to control the clock. I think they'rena 1848 01:32:16,200 --> 01:32:20,160 Speaker 7: have to run the ball to loosen up this this defense, 1849 01:32:20,240 --> 01:32:24,160 Speaker 7: to to to get to get Ohio State to play 1850 01:32:24,200 --> 01:32:27,519 Speaker 7: some man to man coverage, to get out of zone defense, 1851 01:32:27,880 --> 01:32:30,519 Speaker 7: to slice him up a couple of times, gash them 1852 01:32:30,520 --> 01:32:32,840 Speaker 7: in the run game. This way, you can throw the 1853 01:32:32,880 --> 01:32:35,360 Speaker 7: football around a little bit. This could this could be 1854 01:32:35,400 --> 01:32:36,880 Speaker 7: one of those games that's a little bit of a 1855 01:32:36,920 --> 01:32:39,920 Speaker 7: slow mover in the first half, because any game that 1856 01:32:40,280 --> 01:32:43,439 Speaker 7: comes down to the offensive and defensive line line and 1857 01:32:43,960 --> 01:32:47,680 Speaker 7: you're less, you know, I guess Sam Hartman's pretty good 1858 01:32:47,720 --> 01:32:48,800 Speaker 7: at hucking the ball round. 1859 01:32:49,040 --> 01:32:50,519 Speaker 3: I keep going back and forth. 1860 01:32:50,600 --> 01:32:54,360 Speaker 8: I know, I keep throwing myself into not betting this game. Yeah, 1861 01:32:54,479 --> 01:32:56,559 Speaker 8: And that's that's why I love doing shows. Like this 1862 01:32:56,600 --> 01:32:59,720 Speaker 8: because we get to talk this stuff out and sometimes 1863 01:32:59,800 --> 01:33:01,320 Speaker 8: I'm doing this with you and we're doing this now 1864 01:33:01,360 --> 01:33:03,240 Speaker 8: for over a season now, so it's not like ituse 1865 01:33:03,240 --> 01:33:06,280 Speaker 8: our first rodeo. And I remember last year there's a 1866 01:33:06,280 --> 01:33:09,360 Speaker 8: couple times where I went into a conversation thinking about 1867 01:33:09,360 --> 01:33:11,120 Speaker 8: one side and then I started talking it out with 1868 01:33:11,160 --> 01:33:11,479 Speaker 8: you guys. 1869 01:33:11,479 --> 01:33:13,439 Speaker 5: I'm like, you know what, I'm not as confident in 1870 01:33:13,479 --> 01:33:14,160 Speaker 5: that as I was. 1871 01:33:14,560 --> 01:33:16,880 Speaker 8: And that's that's big to your point about the total 1872 01:33:16,880 --> 01:33:18,479 Speaker 8: though open fifty one and a. 1873 01:33:18,479 --> 01:33:20,519 Speaker 5: Half bet up to fifty six. 1874 01:33:20,800 --> 01:33:23,840 Speaker 8: Yeah, and that's where we saw the buyback come now 1875 01:33:23,920 --> 01:33:27,080 Speaker 8: to the under. So I think the long story short, 1876 01:33:27,120 --> 01:33:30,080 Speaker 8: I think the under at fifty five or fifty six 1877 01:33:30,640 --> 01:33:33,479 Speaker 8: is probably a good quote unquote value bet because the. 1878 01:33:33,520 --> 01:33:35,759 Speaker 5: Number really opened in the low fifties. 1879 01:33:36,720 --> 01:33:39,519 Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, I mean it might be. It really might be. 1880 01:33:39,600 --> 01:33:43,200 Speaker 7: And it just comes back to this idea that this 1881 01:33:43,200 --> 01:33:45,559 Speaker 7: this game is going to be one up front. This 1882 01:33:45,640 --> 01:33:48,360 Speaker 7: does feel like even though I know that we're talking 1883 01:33:48,360 --> 01:33:52,000 Speaker 7: about a team that has more of an acc flavor 1884 01:33:52,040 --> 01:33:55,679 Speaker 7: scheduling wise most years, this this feels like a true 1885 01:33:55,760 --> 01:33:56,799 Speaker 7: Big ten matchup. 1886 01:33:57,080 --> 01:33:59,599 Speaker 5: There's a weather Brian before going to break what's the weather. 1887 01:33:59,400 --> 01:34:01,920 Speaker 4: In the I think it's a nice day. It's I 1888 01:34:01,960 --> 01:34:03,639 Speaker 4: think it's supposed to be nice over there. 1889 01:34:03,520 --> 01:34:06,080 Speaker 3: In the Bend. I think it's It feels like a 1890 01:34:06,080 --> 01:34:07,439 Speaker 3: third down game to me. 1891 01:34:07,840 --> 01:34:13,000 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, huge, Keep those chains moving, you know, or 1892 01:34:13,040 --> 01:34:16,040 Speaker 4: get off the freaking field. You're on defense, right, But 1893 01:34:16,400 --> 01:34:18,040 Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be one of those games where 1894 01:34:18,040 --> 01:34:20,439 Speaker 4: it's gonna be nip and tuck. I expect a close game. 1895 01:34:20,840 --> 01:34:23,559 Speaker 4: But third and four? Can you keep the chains moving? 1896 01:34:23,680 --> 01:34:26,479 Speaker 4: Third and four? Can you get off the field. 1897 01:34:26,960 --> 01:34:29,360 Speaker 8: This game's landing three. I don't know who's gonna win, 1898 01:34:29,400 --> 01:34:30,160 Speaker 8: but it's landing three. 1899 01:34:30,240 --> 01:34:32,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I thinking Irish thirty four to ten. 1900 01:34:36,240 --> 01:34:39,120 Speaker 4: Oh, we've got Rich Arnberger, Penn State, All American. We've 1901 01:34:39,160 --> 01:34:42,920 Speaker 4: got Jared Smith FSR, betting analyst. I'm Brian though from 1902 01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:47,439 Speaker 4: South Bend. Okay, it is has something to do with 1903 01:34:47,520 --> 01:34:49,559 Speaker 4: some of the things that I'm saying over here, all right? 1904 01:34:49,640 --> 01:34:55,480 Speaker 4: Coming up next man ranked versus unranked. It's role reversal 1905 01:34:55,520 --> 01:34:57,960 Speaker 4: for these two teams. We'll get to that matchup.

Matchup of the day. 1918 01:35:37,560 --> 01:35:41,679 Speaker 4: Okay, ranked versus unranked Florida State, the number four team 1919 01:35:41,720 --> 01:35:44,480 Speaker 4: in the country against unranked Clemson. 1920 01:35:44,720 --> 01:35:47,600 Speaker 3: Not used to saying that. 1921 01:35:46,680 --> 01:35:48,840 Speaker 4: That's what happens when you lay an egg at Duke 1922 01:35:49,439 --> 01:35:53,960 Speaker 4: to begin the season. But Clemson's a live dog. I 1923 01:35:54,000 --> 01:35:57,479 Speaker 4: know you're on him, Jared, you are high on Clemson today. 1924 01:35:58,360 --> 01:36:00,880 Speaker 4: I just think it comes down to can you match 1925 01:36:00,960 --> 01:36:03,960 Speaker 4: points you laid out that Florida State's rush defense not 1926 01:36:04,080 --> 01:36:08,679 Speaker 4: been good. I like, from a Florida State perspective, them 1927 01:36:08,720 --> 01:36:13,160 Speaker 4: coming off what was a dead ending against Boston College 1928 01:36:13,520 --> 01:36:16,280 Speaker 4: this whole week. Mike Darvel can play the Hey, you 1929 01:36:16,360 --> 01:36:19,960 Speaker 4: guys gotta be focused all game long. You can't have lulls. 1930 01:36:20,240 --> 01:36:23,400 Speaker 4: We're going into Clemson. I think Florida State, coming off 1931 01:36:23,439 --> 01:36:27,360 Speaker 4: of an gotta survive on the road against Boston College. 1932 01:36:27,640 --> 01:36:30,519 Speaker 4: I think they're a lot more focused today, and I 1933 01:36:30,560 --> 01:36:34,360 Speaker 4: think it comes down to Kenkid Klubnik and Clemson create 1934 01:36:34,520 --> 01:36:38,559 Speaker 4: enough offense to match points with Florida State because Jordan 1935 01:36:38,640 --> 01:36:41,040 Speaker 4: Travis and those records, those weapons, They're gonna put up 1936 01:36:41,040 --> 01:36:41,599 Speaker 4: points today. 1937 01:36:41,920 --> 01:36:43,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, they should. 1938 01:36:43,520 --> 01:36:46,559 Speaker 7: Florida State, in my opinion, has the best skill position 1939 01:36:46,680 --> 01:36:52,120 Speaker 7: players in the country, Jordan Travis at quarterback, arguably the 1940 01:36:52,120 --> 01:36:55,160 Speaker 7: most pro ready running back in Trey Benson out of 1941 01:36:55,160 --> 01:36:59,519 Speaker 7: that backfield, keyon Coleman Johnny Wilson, both first round talents. 1942 01:36:59,560 --> 01:37:04,519 Speaker 7: On the out side, Jaheim Bell entered this season as 1943 01:37:04,560 --> 01:37:05,160 Speaker 7: a top. 1944 01:37:04,960 --> 01:37:05,840 Speaker 6: Five tight end. 1945 01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:09,760 Speaker 7: It's just absolutely loaded up on the seminoles side. So 1946 01:37:09,880 --> 01:37:12,920 Speaker 7: I think this battle actually comes down to the Clemson defense. 1947 01:37:13,479 --> 01:37:16,120 Speaker 6: If they can slow down the run game. 1948 01:37:16,120 --> 01:37:18,639 Speaker 7: Which they should be able to because they have one 1949 01:37:18,640 --> 01:37:21,639 Speaker 7: of the highest rated run defenses in all of college 1950 01:37:21,640 --> 01:37:24,679 Speaker 7: football right now, and make this offense have to rely 1951 01:37:25,240 --> 01:37:28,760 Speaker 7: on Jordan Travis and these receivers, well, then all of 1952 01:37:28,800 --> 01:37:31,360 Speaker 7: a sudden, you have a one dimensional offense and you 1953 01:37:31,360 --> 01:37:33,639 Speaker 7: can do some things if you get these You get 1954 01:37:33,640 --> 01:37:36,840 Speaker 7: these seminoles in some long yardage situations on third down, 1955 01:37:37,520 --> 01:37:40,240 Speaker 7: you start putting a little pressure on Jordan Travis, force 1956 01:37:40,320 --> 01:37:43,040 Speaker 7: him to make a mistake or two turnovers. Could be 1957 01:37:43,080 --> 01:37:46,120 Speaker 7: the key to a Clemson win at home. Although I 1958 01:37:46,120 --> 01:37:50,560 Speaker 7: would absolutely hate it because my adopted son, Jordan Travis, 1959 01:37:50,680 --> 01:37:53,400 Speaker 7: he's my heisman guy. When we go back to the 1960 01:37:53,439 --> 01:37:56,439 Speaker 7: futures eventually on this show, you'll see exactly why I'm 1961 01:37:56,479 --> 01:37:57,679 Speaker 7: pulling for the Knolls today. 1962 01:37:58,040 --> 01:37:59,440 Speaker 5: Back to the futures. 1963 01:38:00,760 --> 01:38:03,559 Speaker 8: So these teams have decided eleven of the last twelve 1964 01:38:03,680 --> 01:38:08,519 Speaker 8: ACC titles. This is a de facto ACC Championship preview 1965 01:38:08,600 --> 01:38:12,679 Speaker 8: today and Clemson's a home dog for the first time 1966 01:38:12,800 --> 01:38:16,080 Speaker 8: since Lamar Jackson strolled into town as. 1967 01:38:15,920 --> 01:38:17,519 Speaker 5: A member of the louisvill Cardinals. 1968 01:38:17,520 --> 01:38:20,120 Speaker 8: What a great game. That was too fantastic game. Tigers 1969 01:38:20,120 --> 01:38:22,720 Speaker 8: won that game outright as a home dog. It was 1970 01:38:22,760 --> 01:38:26,040 Speaker 8: a phenomenal game. And again I think when you look 1971 01:38:26,080 --> 01:38:29,120 Speaker 8: at the game plan for what Florida State did last week, 1972 01:38:29,320 --> 01:38:32,200 Speaker 8: very fair to say it was vanilla, like more vanilla 1973 01:38:32,280 --> 01:38:33,120 Speaker 8: than the cupcakes. 1974 01:38:33,120 --> 01:38:34,599 Speaker 5: I'll probably have for practice after. 1975 01:38:34,439 --> 01:38:37,800 Speaker 8: This because they knew you had Week one, the big 1976 01:38:37,840 --> 01:38:40,919 Speaker 8: game against LSU, and then you had this game against Clemson. 1977 01:38:41,120 --> 01:38:43,479 Speaker 8: The tough part of the Florida State schedule was early 1978 01:38:43,520 --> 01:38:46,479 Speaker 8: in the season. And my guess is coach norbl said, 1979 01:38:46,520 --> 01:38:48,760 Speaker 8: all right, we're gonna give the best stuff in week one, 1980 01:38:48,960 --> 01:38:51,280 Speaker 8: then we're gonna throttle down week two and three, and 1981 01:38:51,280 --> 01:38:51,679 Speaker 8: then we're. 1982 01:38:51,520 --> 01:38:52,880 Speaker 5: Gonna pick it back up in week four. 1983 01:38:52,960 --> 01:38:56,200 Speaker 8: So we'll see if any wrinkles get released today by 1984 01:38:56,200 --> 01:38:58,679 Speaker 8: this Florida State offense, because I thought what we saw 1985 01:38:58,760 --> 01:39:01,760 Speaker 8: last week again vanilla on the Clemson side. 1986 01:39:01,760 --> 01:39:04,400 Speaker 5: I mean, we've been just begging to see. 1987 01:39:04,240 --> 01:39:07,639 Speaker 8: A little bit more explosion, a little more enthusiasm from 1988 01:39:07,640 --> 01:39:10,479 Speaker 8: this Clemson offense. But like I said, the running game 1989 01:39:10,760 --> 01:39:13,760 Speaker 8: is the heartbeat of this team, and Florida State has 1990 01:39:13,800 --> 01:39:17,200 Speaker 8: struggled to stop the run. Their defense is very talented 1991 01:39:17,280 --> 01:39:19,519 Speaker 8: up front, but they're a little boom or busts, a 1992 01:39:19,560 --> 01:39:22,479 Speaker 8: lot of mistackles, a lot of havoc. But can they 1993 01:39:22,479 --> 01:39:26,280 Speaker 8: stay consistent in their assignments today against a very good 1994 01:39:26,320 --> 01:39:27,400 Speaker 8: Clemson run game. 1995 01:39:27,680 --> 01:39:29,719 Speaker 5: I think that's where the Tigers have an edge. 1996 01:39:30,520 --> 01:39:34,559 Speaker 4: I think Dabo Sweeney has to evolve like Coach k. 1997 01:39:35,479 --> 01:39:35,679 Speaker 3: Right. 1998 01:39:35,840 --> 01:39:38,720 Speaker 4: Remember when Coach k at Duke, he wasn't fond of 1999 01:39:38,800 --> 01:39:42,240 Speaker 4: one and done's. He's like, yeah, I don't like these 2000 01:39:42,280 --> 01:39:45,320 Speaker 4: one and done players, and you gotta you know, and 2001 01:39:45,360 --> 01:39:48,160 Speaker 4: then he switched and he embraced it, and he had 2002 01:39:48,200 --> 01:39:50,400 Speaker 4: a lot of one and done talent and he had 2003 01:39:50,479 --> 01:39:54,080 Speaker 4: a lot of success by rethinking things. I think that's 2004 01:39:54,080 --> 01:39:56,240 Speaker 4: where Dabo Sweeney needs to go. It's not one and 2005 01:39:56,280 --> 01:40:00,000 Speaker 4: done in college football. It's the transfer portal in college football. 2006 01:40:00,040 --> 01:40:03,040 Speaker 4: On Dabo doesn't dip into it. He wants to keep 2007 01:40:03,080 --> 01:40:07,639 Speaker 4: it a family atmosphere. And look at the opposition today. 2008 01:40:07,800 --> 01:40:10,720 Speaker 4: The opponent is Florida State and they are all in 2009 01:40:10,960 --> 01:40:13,840 Speaker 4: on the transfer portal with Mike Norvell over there. You 2010 01:40:13,920 --> 01:40:17,719 Speaker 4: look at these offensive playmakers. You guys detailed it. Jordan 2011 01:40:17,800 --> 01:40:21,280 Speaker 4: Travis started off at Louisville. Their quarterback, Jaheim Bell. He 2012 01:40:21,360 --> 01:40:25,839 Speaker 4: started at South Carolina Studeley tight end, wide receiver, Keyon Coleman. 2013 01:40:25,880 --> 01:40:29,160 Speaker 4: He was at Michigan State. He's already producing. Jared Verse 2014 01:40:29,320 --> 01:40:31,960 Speaker 4: was at Albany. He's probably gonna be a first round 2015 01:40:32,200 --> 01:40:34,840 Speaker 4: defensive end. Like, they got talent all over the place. 2016 01:40:34,960 --> 01:40:38,120 Speaker 4: Through the transfer portal. Look at what Deon Sanders is 2017 01:40:38,120 --> 01:40:40,880 Speaker 4: doing at Colorado. There are many teams that have had 2018 01:40:41,200 --> 01:40:44,040 Speaker 4: instant success embracing the transfer portal. 2019 01:40:44,320 --> 01:40:46,280 Speaker 3: Who's the team. 2020 01:40:45,760 --> 01:40:47,639 Speaker 4: That you say, oh, they don't do it and look 2021 01:40:47,640 --> 01:40:50,000 Speaker 4: at the success they're having, though, who do you say 2022 01:40:50,040 --> 01:40:53,080 Speaker 4: that about? And I think that Clemson it's hurt them 2023 01:40:53,120 --> 01:40:56,240 Speaker 4: more than it's helped them. With Dabo giving the heisman 2024 01:40:56,400 --> 01:40:58,840 Speaker 4: stiff arm to the portal, I think he's got to 2025 01:40:58,880 --> 01:41:00,880 Speaker 4: embrace it. I think he's got to evolve like coach 2026 01:41:00,960 --> 01:41:01,719 Speaker 4: k Once did. 2027 01:41:01,800 --> 01:41:02,000 Speaker 5: Well. 2028 01:41:02,040 --> 01:41:04,719 Speaker 7: He wants to the problem is he's losing the race. 2029 01:41:05,320 --> 01:41:08,479 Speaker 7: So I think one of the things that you're hearing 2030 01:41:08,560 --> 01:41:12,280 Speaker 7: from the coaches who are struggling in the transfer portal is, hey, 2031 01:41:12,320 --> 01:41:14,960 Speaker 7: this is a whole bunch of malarkey. You know, we 2032 01:41:15,000 --> 01:41:18,000 Speaker 7: want to grow our talent, develop our talent, take our 2033 01:41:18,240 --> 01:41:21,400 Speaker 7: our guys from high school, make these these young men 2034 01:41:21,560 --> 01:41:26,440 Speaker 7: good citizen, good members of society, and and active citizens. 2035 01:41:26,960 --> 01:41:30,240 Speaker 7: Like to me, it's I I just I don't believe 2036 01:41:30,280 --> 01:41:32,920 Speaker 7: a single word of it. I believe if Dabo Sweeney 2037 01:41:33,400 --> 01:41:37,120 Speaker 7: could be a great recruiter out of the transfer portal, 2038 01:41:37,479 --> 01:41:39,799 Speaker 7: he would be. He would probably be saying some negative 2039 01:41:39,800 --> 01:41:41,880 Speaker 7: things about it. Hey, college football is changing. I don't 2040 01:41:41,920 --> 01:41:44,320 Speaker 7: love everything, but you gotta you gotta keep up with 2041 01:41:44,360 --> 01:41:47,200 Speaker 7: the Joneses, right because that's what's going to appease the 2042 01:41:47,280 --> 01:41:51,120 Speaker 7: alumni is wins and talented players from the portal. But 2043 01:41:51,200 --> 01:41:53,400 Speaker 7: he's not doing a good job, so he has to 2044 01:41:54,040 --> 01:41:57,679 Speaker 7: he has to support the track there on otherwise he'll 2045 01:41:57,680 --> 01:42:01,040 Speaker 7: look like he's losing the battle and he's trying to 2046 01:42:01,080 --> 01:42:03,599 Speaker 7: operate from a position of strength. So if this season 2047 01:42:03,640 --> 01:42:06,960 Speaker 7: goes sideways and he struggled in the portal, what he's 2048 01:42:06,960 --> 01:42:08,160 Speaker 7: going to do is he's going to go to his 2049 01:42:08,240 --> 01:42:11,439 Speaker 7: wealthy alumni and donors and he's going to say, look, 2050 01:42:11,479 --> 01:42:13,759 Speaker 7: if we want to compete next year in the ACC 2051 01:42:14,000 --> 01:42:16,680 Speaker 7: or otherwise, I need more money to dump into the 2052 01:42:16,800 --> 01:42:19,639 Speaker 7: nil because that is the name of the game right now. 2053 01:42:19,960 --> 01:42:23,960 Speaker 8: Yeah, I agree with both of those takes. It doesn't 2054 01:42:23,960 --> 01:42:26,000 Speaker 8: have anything to do with today's game, but I agree 2055 01:42:26,080 --> 01:42:29,360 Speaker 8: with both of those takes. I think Clemson as a program, 2056 01:42:29,520 --> 01:42:32,880 Speaker 8: the arrow is definitely pointed down, maybe neutral is the 2057 01:42:33,000 --> 01:42:35,960 Speaker 8: nicest way of putting it. Whereas a lot of other 2058 01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:40,160 Speaker 8: programs have embraced the change and they're taking advantage of 2059 01:42:40,200 --> 01:42:44,559 Speaker 8: the rules. Listen, life changes all the time. Rules in 2060 01:42:44,640 --> 01:42:48,200 Speaker 8: life and sports, it always changes. If you're afraid of change, 2061 01:42:48,600 --> 01:42:50,559 Speaker 8: you are going to be a lot more hesitant and 2062 01:42:50,600 --> 01:42:54,160 Speaker 8: reluctant to again. You know, take that and take advantage 2063 01:42:54,200 --> 01:42:57,160 Speaker 8: of it, and we'll see how Clemson reacts to that. Again, 2064 01:42:57,400 --> 01:42:59,320 Speaker 8: nothing to do with this game, but I think the 2065 01:42:59,360 --> 01:43:01,560 Speaker 8: future for Clumpson's program. This is a bit of a 2066 01:43:02,160 --> 01:43:05,519 Speaker 8: turning point season. And I'll end it with this. If 2067 01:43:05,520 --> 01:43:08,080 Speaker 8: they get their butts kicked in this game and they've 2068 01:43:08,120 --> 01:43:10,360 Speaker 8: got two losses against two ACC. 2069 01:43:10,160 --> 01:43:11,280 Speaker 5: Teams, sea is over. 2070 01:43:11,640 --> 01:43:13,800 Speaker 8: Oh yeah, you have no chance to go to the 2071 01:43:13,800 --> 01:43:14,840 Speaker 8: a C Championship game. 2072 01:43:14,960 --> 01:43:16,639 Speaker 5: You're not going to the Collegeootball Playoff. 2073 01:43:16,960 --> 01:43:19,880 Speaker 8: That's when the real character of this Clemson team will 2074 01:43:19,920 --> 01:43:23,080 Speaker 8: be revealed. It's easy to be happy in jovial when 2075 01:43:23,120 --> 01:43:26,280 Speaker 8: you're winning, but it's hard to stay upbeat and positive. 2076 01:43:25,880 --> 01:43:26,639 Speaker 5: When you're losing. 2077 01:43:27,000 --> 01:43:29,439 Speaker 8: So if it doesn't go right for Clemson today, I 2078 01:43:29,479 --> 01:43:30,479 Speaker 8: think Clemson's winning the game. 2079 01:43:30,479 --> 01:43:31,639 Speaker 5: I'm picking them today. 2080 01:43:31,880 --> 01:43:35,040 Speaker 8: But if it doesn't work out for them today, that's 2081 01:43:35,120 --> 01:43:37,960 Speaker 8: when things are gonna get very interesting down there in 2082 01:43:38,040 --> 01:43:40,760 Speaker 8: Dabbo Land, because all of a sudden two losses in 2083 01:43:40,800 --> 01:43:41,759 Speaker 8: the first four games. 2084 01:43:42,040 --> 01:43:43,559 Speaker 5: When was the last time we saw that for Clemson? 2085 01:43:44,040 --> 01:43:47,000 Speaker 4: You know, you speak of things working out, It always 2086 01:43:47,000 --> 01:43:50,120 Speaker 4: works out for us when we shift the focus to 2087 01:43:50,160 --> 01:43:54,479 Speaker 4: one Isaac Lowenkron Okay, you never get broke taken a profit. 2088 01:43:54,800 --> 01:43:57,160 Speaker 3: You hear that all the time. That's what we're gonna 2089 01:43:57,200 --> 01:43:59,280 Speaker 3: do right now with ILove who has the latest time. 2090 01:43:59,520 --> 01:44:03,479 Speaker 10: Yes, always profit from information. And let's begin in the NFL, 2091 01:44:03,520 --> 01:44:06,640 Speaker 10: where NFL Media reported today that the Indianapolis Colts are 2092 01:44:06,680 --> 01:44:10,320 Speaker 10: releasing running back Deon Jackson and activating Tray Sermon from 2093 01:44:10,320 --> 01:44:13,639 Speaker 10: their practice squad for Sunday's game at Baltimore. In Major 2094 01:44:13,680 --> 01:44:17,920 Speaker 10: League Baseball, Today's Yankees Diamondbacks game has been postponed because 2095 01:44:17,960 --> 01:44:22,000 Speaker 10: of a forecast of sustained in clement weather. On Friday night, 2096 01:44:22,040 --> 01:44:24,719 Speaker 10: the Minnesota Twins clinched the AL Central for the third 2097 01:44:24,760 --> 01:44:26,960 Speaker 10: time in five years with an eight sixth victory over 2098 01:44:27,000 --> 01:44:30,200 Speaker 10: the Los Angeles Angels. The Milwaukee Brewers clinched a playoff 2099 01:44:30,240 --> 01:44:33,320 Speaker 10: spot with a sixteen to one win over the Miami Marlins. 2100 01:44:33,520 --> 01:44:36,360 Speaker 10: The Brewers magic number to clinch the NL Central is one. 2101 01:44:36,680 --> 01:44:39,240 Speaker 10: The Atlanta Braves a nine to sixth victory at Washington 2102 01:44:39,240 --> 01:44:42,080 Speaker 10: as Ronald Acunya Junior. It is fortieth home run to 2103 01:44:42,120 --> 01:44:44,920 Speaker 10: become the fifth player in Major League history to have 2104 01:44:45,000 --> 01:44:48,120 Speaker 10: forty home runs and forty stolen bases in one season. 2105 01:44:48,360 --> 01:44:50,800 Speaker 10: He's the first member of the forty to forty club 2106 01:44:51,040 --> 01:44:54,519 Speaker 10: since Alfonso Soriano in two thousand and six. Finally, in 2107 01:44:54,560 --> 01:44:57,639 Speaker 10: college football, you know, the three of you, you've covered 2108 01:44:57,640 --> 01:45:00,360 Speaker 10: your fair share of games. Typically, when you you get 2109 01:45:00,400 --> 01:45:03,960 Speaker 10: to the press box at a stadium, the home team 2110 01:45:04,240 --> 01:45:07,639 Speaker 10: or the home school, they'll have a sheet of paper 2111 01:45:07,840 --> 01:45:10,240 Speaker 10: at all the seats in the press box with you know, 2112 01:45:10,400 --> 01:45:14,479 Speaker 10: general information about where you can find things, just helpful 2113 01:45:14,520 --> 01:45:16,719 Speaker 10: information so you can navigate your way around. 2114 01:45:16,760 --> 01:45:17,000 Speaker 3: Well. 2115 01:45:17,439 --> 01:45:19,439 Speaker 10: Coming up at the top of the hour, we've got 2116 01:45:19,800 --> 01:45:24,120 Speaker 10: Texas A and M hosting Auburn, and Richard Silva, who 2117 01:45:24,200 --> 01:45:29,519 Speaker 10: covers Auburn for the Montgomery Advertiser, tweeted a picture of 2118 01:45:29,560 --> 01:45:32,320 Speaker 10: the sheet of paper they give out at Kyle Field, 2119 01:45:32,360 --> 01:45:35,160 Speaker 10: Texas A and M's home stadium.

Based on that xcell, It's Fox Sports Radios 2138 01:46:28,160 --> 01:46:31,200 Speaker 4: Countdown to Kickoff presented by bet MGM. Another of the 2139 01:46:31,280 --> 01:46:34,799 Speaker 4: ranked versus ranked matchups here, Real Fast Oregon State against 2140 01:46:34,880 --> 01:46:35,719 Speaker 4: Washington State. 2141 01:46:36,439 --> 01:46:37,840 Speaker 3: Oregon State man. 2142 01:46:37,960 --> 01:46:40,759 Speaker 4: A little bit of a throwback where they play solid defense, 2143 01:46:40,800 --> 01:46:44,000 Speaker 4: they run the ball effectively. They mix in DJ uy 2144 01:46:44,040 --> 01:46:47,519 Speaker 4: angela lay you've seen up close and personal this year, 2145 01:46:47,600 --> 01:46:51,280 Speaker 4: rich right. I think DJ you gets a lot more 2146 01:46:51,320 --> 01:46:56,759 Speaker 4: attention than Cameron Ward does, and I think cam Ward 2147 01:46:57,080 --> 01:47:01,000 Speaker 4: is fantastic. I think cam Ward he's averaging three hundred 2148 01:47:01,000 --> 01:47:02,840 Speaker 4: and twenty nine passing yards per game. 2149 01:47:03,479 --> 01:47:05,480 Speaker 3: And I think with that loaded. 2150 01:47:05,120 --> 01:47:08,800 Speaker 4: Conference in quarterback talent, I think this could be the 2151 01:47:08,920 --> 01:47:12,280 Speaker 4: day where Cameron Ward we start looking at him. And 2152 01:47:12,640 --> 01:47:15,400 Speaker 4: if you're looking at like college football rankings as far 2153 01:47:15,400 --> 01:47:18,320 Speaker 4: as teams go, I think you might see cam Ward 2154 01:47:18,520 --> 01:47:21,800 Speaker 4: move up a quarterback position in the back twelve. That 2155 01:47:21,880 --> 01:47:24,080 Speaker 4: could be unfolding. I like the koops today. What do 2156 01:47:24,120 --> 01:47:25,400 Speaker 4: you guys think about this matchup? 2157 01:47:25,479 --> 01:47:27,599 Speaker 7: Yeah, this is a close one For me. I would 2158 01:47:27,840 --> 01:47:31,400 Speaker 7: give the slight edge to the Beavers. I will say 2159 01:47:31,439 --> 01:47:33,719 Speaker 7: this that might be biased. I saw them up close. 2160 01:47:34,160 --> 01:47:37,320 Speaker 7: I'm really fond of their offensive line in their run game. 2161 01:47:37,760 --> 01:47:41,280 Speaker 7: They have a great, not good, a great offensive line, 2162 01:47:41,680 --> 01:47:47,320 Speaker 7: big physical unit. They open up just gaping holes for 2163 01:47:47,479 --> 01:47:50,719 Speaker 7: Damian Martinez, who's one of the backs in this country 2164 01:47:50,760 --> 01:47:53,960 Speaker 7: that nobody's talking about, and everybody should because, like you said, 2165 01:47:54,000 --> 01:47:59,000 Speaker 7: Brian dj Uyungalila, he takes all the headlines when you're 2166 01:47:59,000 --> 01:48:01,400 Speaker 7: talking Oregon State. That's the only name anybody wants to 2167 01:48:01,400 --> 01:48:04,280 Speaker 7: talk about is dju. And meanwhile, they also have some 2168 01:48:04,360 --> 01:48:08,280 Speaker 7: quick strike receivers, smaller guys, you know, five to nine 2169 01:48:08,320 --> 01:48:11,400 Speaker 7: guys who you throw the football to, and their track stars, 2170 01:48:11,439 --> 01:48:14,720 Speaker 7: you know, so you get one two a guy on 2171 01:48:14,920 --> 01:48:17,360 Speaker 7: just a quick five yard out or a routine slant 2172 01:48:17,439 --> 01:48:19,760 Speaker 7: over the middle, and it could be seventy yards to 2173 01:48:19,800 --> 01:48:20,240 Speaker 7: the house. 2174 01:48:20,640 --> 01:48:24,120 Speaker 6: So I'll give the slight edge to the Beaves. Although 2175 01:48:24,160 --> 01:48:25,240 Speaker 6: Washington State. 2176 01:48:25,320 --> 01:48:27,280 Speaker 7: You know, as a counter to what I just said, 2177 01:48:27,760 --> 01:48:30,559 Speaker 7: play some of the best run defense in college football. 2178 01:48:30,800 --> 01:48:33,400 Speaker 7: So this is that's the matchup to watch, is the 2179 01:48:33,520 --> 01:48:38,040 Speaker 7: rushing offense of Oregon State against the Kougs rush defense. 2180 01:48:38,560 --> 01:48:40,479 Speaker 8: I feel the same way about this game that I 2181 01:48:40,479 --> 01:48:41,800 Speaker 8: do about Notre Dame Ohio State. 2182 01:48:41,920 --> 01:48:42,400 Speaker 6: Yeah. 2183 01:48:42,200 --> 01:48:46,080 Speaker 8: Yeah, the numbers probably fair at three. I thought maybe 2184 01:48:46,080 --> 01:48:48,320 Speaker 8: Oregon State deserved a little more love. Just from a 2185 01:48:48,360 --> 01:48:51,760 Speaker 8: line analysis perspective, if you close your eyes and think 2186 01:48:51,760 --> 01:48:55,599 Speaker 8: about Wisconsin and Oregon State, I would put Oregon State 2187 01:48:55,760 --> 01:48:59,600 Speaker 8: slightly ahead of Wisconsin at this stage, but Wisconsin was 2188 01:48:59,680 --> 01:49:03,639 Speaker 8: laying more points on the road to this Washington State team. 2189 01:49:03,680 --> 01:49:06,000 Speaker 8: Just two weeks ago, that line was Wisconsin minus four 2190 01:49:06,080 --> 01:49:09,800 Speaker 8: minus five, Oregon States just minus two, now minus three. 2191 01:49:09,960 --> 01:49:11,840 Speaker 8: So if you just close your eyes and think about 2192 01:49:11,920 --> 01:49:13,920 Speaker 8: the line analysis, I think you might get a little 2193 01:49:14,000 --> 01:49:16,840 Speaker 8: value at Oregon State at three. But then you look 2194 01:49:16,840 --> 01:49:19,040 Speaker 8: at this Washington State team, and I agree. I do 2195 01:49:19,120 --> 01:49:22,360 Speaker 8: think Cameron Ward is the better of the two quarterbacks, 2196 01:49:22,360 --> 01:49:25,559 Speaker 8: and even more so because we're talking less about him. 2197 01:49:25,920 --> 01:49:28,040 Speaker 8: And I give Washington State's defense a ton of credit. 2198 01:49:28,120 --> 01:49:31,000 Speaker 8: They held down Wisconsin's ground game. That's a tough task. 2199 01:49:31,200 --> 01:49:34,519 Speaker 8: They're gonna have a similar challenge today against Damian Martinez. 2200 01:49:34,600 --> 01:49:38,200 Speaker 5: It's averaging over eight and a half yards per carry. 2201 01:49:38,600 --> 01:49:42,400 Speaker 8: I think that cam Ward matchup against Oregon States defense 2202 01:49:42,479 --> 01:49:44,200 Speaker 8: is fascinating. But I think the other side of that 2203 01:49:44,240 --> 01:49:47,680 Speaker 8: as well. Can Washington State's defense control the Oregons or 2204 01:49:47,680 --> 01:49:50,719 Speaker 8: Oregon States running game? I think those two matchups within 2205 01:49:50,800 --> 01:49:53,519 Speaker 8: the matchup is really what's gonna decide this one. 2206 01:49:53,640 --> 01:49:57,040 Speaker 4: Damian Martinez, his rushing prop is at ninety seven and 2207 01:49:57,040 --> 01:50:01,240 Speaker 4: a half against Washington States, the big one, strong rush defense. 2208 01:50:01,280 --> 01:50:05,600 Speaker 4: That's what we got to be looking out for. That's 2209 01:50:05,640 --> 01:50:08,120 Speaker 4: the matchup right there. There's no doubt. All right, We've 2210 01:50:08,160 --> 01:50:11,720 Speaker 4: got Rich Ornberger Penn State, All American disappointed he's not 2211 01:50:11,800 --> 01:50:14,639 Speaker 4: rocking his Irish T shirt today. I mean, goodness, Yeah, 2212 01:50:14,680 --> 01:50:16,839 Speaker 4: how could I take it on a top ten opponent? 2213 01:50:17,360 --> 01:50:17,680 Speaker 5: With that? 2214 01:50:17,960 --> 01:50:21,080 Speaker 4: We've got Jared Smith FSR betting analyst. He went with 2215 01:50:21,160 --> 01:50:23,920 Speaker 4: Arizona and Cactus instead of the Irish. 2216 01:50:24,000 --> 01:50:28,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, Cacede. Yeah, who knows this cac guy? One of 2217 01:50:28,120 --> 01:50:29,080 Speaker 3: those two works. 2218 01:50:29,120 --> 01:50:32,680 Speaker 4: I'm Brian No, I'm rocking out the Notre Dame T shirt.

How about this Rice resurgence. They are three 2245 01:51:53,240 --> 01:51:55,960 Speaker 8: and oh against the spread. And I'll be honest, the 2246 01:51:56,040 --> 01:51:59,000 Speaker 8: passing offense JT. Daniels, I know you know that name. 2247 01:51:59,160 --> 01:52:03,760 Speaker 8: This is fourth in four years USC Georgia, West Virginia, 2248 01:52:03,880 --> 01:52:06,679 Speaker 8: now Rice, and he gets a USF defense today coming 2249 01:52:06,720 --> 01:52:09,120 Speaker 8: off that tough game against Bama. Outside the top one 2250 01:52:09,200 --> 01:52:11,439 Speaker 8: hundred in efficiency, top spot for the Bulls. 2251 01:52:11,479 --> 01:52:13,919 Speaker 5: Will lay two and a half with the Owls. 2252 01:52:13,960 --> 01:52:17,920 Speaker 8: And obviously I am betting Oregon today Lank twenty one against. 2253 01:52:17,520 --> 01:52:19,559 Speaker 5: The Colorado trouble in the trenches. 2254 01:52:19,640 --> 01:52:21,920 Speaker 8: I think for the Buffs they're gonna miss Travis Hunter 2255 01:52:21,960 --> 01:52:24,680 Speaker 8: on defense more than offense. But let's be honest, this 2256 01:52:24,800 --> 01:52:28,439 Speaker 8: is an underman Colorado team against an Oregon squad with 2257 01:52:28,520 --> 01:52:31,120 Speaker 8: Bonnicks at quarterback that should be able to take advantage 2258 01:52:31,120 --> 01:52:32,760 Speaker 8: of those deficiencies. So those are my two picks here 2259 01:52:32,760 --> 01:52:35,519 Speaker 8: before the play today, Rice and Oregon on the favorites. 2260 01:52:35,800 --> 01:52:38,360 Speaker 7: All right, I'm going ranked on ranked and then an 2261 01:52:38,439 --> 01:52:41,639 Speaker 7: acc challenge for my picks.

I believe this 2264 01:52:48,360 --> 01:52:50,679 Speaker 7: is gonna be the ugliest football game of the weekend. 2265 01:52:51,200 --> 01:52:53,920 Speaker 7: Hawk guys, muck it up for four quarters. I'm taking 2266 01:52:54,040 --> 01:52:58,799 Speaker 7: Iowa plus fourteen on the road. This spread on Oregon 2267 01:52:58,880 --> 01:53:01,600 Speaker 7: Colorado is no good for me, but the total. 2268 01:53:01,600 --> 01:53:02,519 Speaker 6: Feels kind of low. 2269 01:53:02,920 --> 01:53:06,360 Speaker 7: Seventy and a hook between two of the most prolific 2270 01:53:06,439 --> 01:53:11,160 Speaker 7: offenses in the country, and they neither side. Mine's running 2271 01:53:11,240 --> 01:53:14,280 Speaker 7: up the scoreboard. Give me the over on the seventy 2272 01:53:14,320 --> 01:53:17,519 Speaker 7: and a half Florida State. They've got the best skilled 2273 01:53:17,560 --> 01:53:20,519 Speaker 7: position players across the board in college football this season 2274 01:53:20,560 --> 01:53:22,439 Speaker 7: and a future Heisman winner at quarterback. 2275 01:53:22,640 --> 01:53:24,320 Speaker 3: So give me the road favorite. 2276 01:53:24,520 --> 01:53:27,600 Speaker 7: Knowles they're getting one and a half, or excuse me, 2277 01:53:27,760 --> 01:53:31,000 Speaker 7: they're looking to cover one and a half at Clemson. 2278 01:53:31,120 --> 01:53:33,120 Speaker 7: So yeah, I got Iowa plus fourteen and a half. 2279 01:53:33,200 --> 01:53:37,040 Speaker 7: The over in Oregon Colorado seventy and a half and 2280 01:53:37,080 --> 01:53:40,120 Speaker 7: the Florida State seminoles covering up the one and a 2281 01:53:40,160 --> 01:53:41,679 Speaker 7: half on the road against Clemson. 2282 01:53:42,200 --> 01:53:44,439 Speaker 4: Okay, first off, I think I should be rooting for 2283 01:53:44,640 --> 01:53:46,839 Speaker 4: you guys because we're a team oversa. 2284 01:53:47,040 --> 01:53:49,760 Speaker 3: Oh wow, I think I should be, but I can't. 2285 01:53:49,439 --> 01:53:52,920 Speaker 4: Bring myself to do the competitive to a fault over 2286 01:53:53,600 --> 01:53:58,360 Speaker 4: my picks. I have been one and two every week consistent. 2287 01:53:58,360 --> 01:53:59,200 Speaker 2: It's like clockwork. 2288 01:53:59,240 --> 01:54:02,360 Speaker 4: I'm one in two. I got screwed by one yard 2289 01:54:02,400 --> 01:54:05,160 Speaker 4: on two prop bets with Blake Krum and Drake May. 2290 01:54:05,240 --> 01:54:08,280 Speaker 4: The Drake May bet was obscenely bad. But in any event, 2291 01:54:08,360 --> 01:54:11,519 Speaker 4: I need some luck. Okay, Notre Dame's wearing all green 2292 01:54:11,800 --> 01:54:13,280 Speaker 4: green cleat screen everything. 2293 01:54:13,640 --> 01:54:14,320 Speaker 3: I need some luck. 2294 01:54:14,439 --> 01:54:17,800 Speaker 4: The hidden formula, I think it's this mic cover. I 2295 01:54:17,800 --> 01:54:18,680 Speaker 4: think that's what it is. 2296 01:54:18,840 --> 01:54:20,600 Speaker 6: Take might cover off. 2297 01:54:20,880 --> 01:54:22,200 Speaker 3: That is the formula. 2298 01:54:22,280 --> 01:54:26,720 Speaker 4: Right here, I'm looking at Bucky Irving Oregon running back. 2299 01:54:27,000 --> 01:54:29,280 Speaker 4: His rushing prop bet is at eighty three and a half. 2300 01:54:29,400 --> 01:54:31,400 Speaker 4: I like the over there.
