1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Week one of college football is in the books, and

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: the Pack twelve had a mixed bag. Tell us what

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 1: you guys think about it. I'm mad at Unafraid show

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: dot com. Me and Ralph were gonna recap everything. This

5
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: is the Pack twelve apostles. I'm George Richter with Ralph

6
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: ampsty Ralph. After Week one of the Pack twelve college

7
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: football season? What grade would you give the conference for overall?

8
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 1: For how everybody did? But you and I put so

9
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: much weight on Oregon beating Auburn that it's not gonna

10
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: be an A or a B. H. You have a

11
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 1: couple of bad losses, you have a large handful of

12
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,959
Speaker 1: terrible offensive performances, but you didn't get eight wins if

13
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: if I'm counting correctly, and so I gotta give this

14
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: a solid seed for opening weekends for the Pack twelve,

15
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: I would I would give it a B minus. And

16
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: then and the reason why I would give it a

17
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: B minus is because of the offensive performances. They weren't

18
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: that great, but they did come out with eight wins,

19
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: and there was a really only well there there was.

20
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: I would give it three bad losses. I would say

21
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: the Arizona Hawaii loss was just atrocious. The U c

22
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: l A. Cincinnati loss was terrible because I have no

23
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: idea I've I am. I'm praying that U c l

24
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: A looks better next week because they may lose the

25
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: San Diego State, but they have a serious quarterback issue.

26
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: I think with Dorian Thompson Robinson, I don't want to

27
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: jump off the train too fast. And also the Oregon

28
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: Auburn loss was just I mean, that was bad, dude.

29
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: That was heartbreaking. That was a disaster, and from from

30
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: my view, it wasn't great. I mean, there there are

31
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: a couple of things in that game where you you

32
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: look and say, if these go differently, not only is

33
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: it it a win, it's a huge win. Brian Addison's

34
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: gotta be kicking himself. I'm not gonna kick him, you know,

35
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: anymore than he's gonna be beating himself up all week

36
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: long for dropping that touchdown pass in the end zone.

37
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: There were a couple of coaching decisions probably shouldn't have

38
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: been any time left on the clock for uh for

39
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: Auburn to make that game winning drive anyway, and then

40
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: you've got Justin Herbert throwing the ball into the sun

41
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: instead have actually given his receivers a chance to make

42
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: a play in the end zone. So I mean there

43
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: there was enough there. Let's let's be very clear about this.

44
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: Oregon was the better team on the field for sure.

45
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: And I'm not somebody who is you know, I'm I'm

46
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: a Pack twelve apostle, but I'm not a Packed twelve apologist.

47
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: If it's bad, it's bad. And yesterday Oregon looked faster, Um,

48
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: they looked more talented. Auburn's got some good stuff going on,

49
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: and that would have been a really good win had

50
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: Oregon pulled it off. But I mean, there's no reason

51
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: Oregon should have walked away from that game with a loss. Yesterday. Well,

52
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: I guess that's where we will start with the Oregon

53
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: Auburn game, which every about he puts so much weight upon,

54
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: and even Auburn's running back after the game, I didn't

55
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: appreciate the smack talk. After the game. He was like, oh, well,

56
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: I don't know where they're from, A C C Pack twelve,

57
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what, but we're not letting the Pack

58
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: twelve come team beat us. And I was just like, dude,

59
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: you got whooped all four quarters, you guys. It was

60
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: more of Oregon lost than Auburn one that that game.

61
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: So that was another reason why I wanted the Pack

62
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: twelve to win so much. And also I put out

63
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: a video this week about Pack twelve fans about why

64
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: they need to be rooting for other Pack twelve schools,

65
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: and that is the prime reason why, the prime reason why,

66
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: and I got crazy responses, Ralph. I got crazy responses

67
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: from Pack twelve fans because this is what the other

68
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: conferences do. They align, they are they are allies, not friends.

69
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: You know, you have to understand the difference between a

70
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: friend and an ally is when it it's almost like

71
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: I can fight with my sister and say some things

72
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: that maybe uh that she doesn't like, but then let

73
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: somebody else say that to her, then we have a

74
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: whole different set of problems. But Pact twelve fans don't

75
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: seem to understand that, Ralph, and I don't understand why.

76
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: I'm I'm kind of on the fence about it. I

77
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: don't think I'll be convinced either way. Um. You know,

78
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: I think that it's important for the conference as a whole,

79
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: if it's going to be respected, to perform well in

80
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: games like that and on weeks like this, um, because

81
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: you want the games to mean more when you're playing

82
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: each other. Um. And then I know people who are

83
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: militantly against him. You know my buddy Joe Heally, who

84
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: runs a super popular podcast out here in Arizona called

85
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: Speak of the Devils. You know, he he quote tweeted

86
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: you and got about fifty responses of him basically saying, like,

87
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: explain to me what this ever does for Arizona State,

88
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: for anyone else to be good. It only ever helps

89
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: the best team. And I don't necessarily agree with that.

90
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: I think that playing against good football teams in the

91
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: season prepares you to play good football in the postseason.

92
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: It also means more money for your conference. Um. But

93
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: at the same time, you know, when a team like

94
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: Arizona goes out to Hawaii and takes a loss against

95
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: the Mountain West Conference, UM, I don't. There's not really

96
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: much for me to say there. I don't, you know,

97
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: I don't kick the dirt or anything like that. So

98
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan, right, I'm not a fan of

99
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: those other teams, But I recognize that it would have

100
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: been better for the conference overall had that not been

101
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: the case, and had Arizona gone out there and got

102
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: to win. So um, I wouldn't say that I'm firmly

103
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: entrenched in any corner of this, but I think there's

104
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: just plaining logic in the fact that if you have

105
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: a conference, you want all the teams in it to

106
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: be very good, and you want to be the best

107
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: of those very good teams exactly. And that was why

108
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: when he responded back to me, I responded back to him.

109
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: I was like, dude, that's a loser mentality, that's a

110
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: defeated ment mentality. How about everybody else around me is

111
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: just bad? Like it doesn't make you good. I remember

112
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: when I got in the NFL, there there was another

113
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: tight end who had been there, a veteran tight end.

114
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: Name is Kyle Brady. And Kyle and I always ask Kyle.

115
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: I said, Kyle, why do you like cheer for me

116
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: and root for me to do well? And like you

117
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: always seem to positive, you always seem to want to

118
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: help me, But I'm trying to take your job. I

119
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: don't understand. And he said, Georgia, look, here's the thing

120
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 1: you have to understand about the NFL. This applies to

121
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: college football. All of this, he said, just because um,

122
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: you do well. I'm sorry, just because you do bad,

123
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean I keep my job, he said, I

124
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: have to do well to keep my job, because if

125
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: you do bad poorly and I do poorly, guess what,

126
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean I get the job. They'll get rid

127
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: of both of us and bring somebody else in. So

128
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: I'm not threatened by you. I just know that I

129
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: need to perform the way I need to perform the

130
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: way I can get the job. And and so it

131
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,799
Speaker 1: doesn't do me any good to root for you to fail.

132
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: I can root for you to succeed, but I'm just

133
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: rooting for me to succeed a little bit more than you.

134
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: And that's the same way that Pact twelve fans need

135
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: to be because I got Oregon fans to I'll never

136
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: root for Washington. Well, how about when Washington plays Auburn

137
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: that way? That way, the way I imagine if Washington

138
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: had beat Auburn last year and then Oregon goes to

139
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: beat Washington. How much better does that make the Ducks

140
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: program look? And how much better does that? I mean,

141
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: Like it's like you said, Ralph, it is simple logic,

142
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: and Pact twelve fans need to embrace that even for

143
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: your rivals, and then as soon as Pact twelve play starts,

144
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: all bets are off. I mean, what do you think.

145
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: What do you think Boise State was thinking when they

146
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: got their victory over Florida State and they're watching Wyoming

147
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: beat up on Missouri in Laramie. And you knew I

148
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: was gonna talk about that because I'm from Wyoming. But

149
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: if you're Boise State and you're watching Wyoming beat up

150
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: on on Missouri in Laramie, you got to be thinking

151
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: to yourself, Oh, now when we play Wyoming this year,

152
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: that win is gonna mean that much more and that

153
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: will give us a chance to play in a more

154
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: meaningful Bull Game. And so, I mean, it does you

155
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: know what it does? It might not do anything in

156
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: some people's mind for the conference, for other teams to

157
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: be good. You might only be worried about yourself. But

158
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: it definitely doesn't do you any good for U c

159
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: l A to go lose it Cincinnati, It definitely doesn't.

160
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: It definitely doesn't do you any good to have J T.

161
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: Daniels tears a c L against Fresno State. YEP, agree

162
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: with you, but let's break down this Oregon Auburn game.

163
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: I mean, when you look at the stats and the numbers,

164
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 1: this is a pretty much a it was pretty much

165
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: a one sided affair. Justin Herbert for thirty seven two

166
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: two yards, a touchdown, bow Nick's only thirt team for

167
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: thirty one and five and olds. I think we're on

168
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: the last drive and you're just sitting there with two

169
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: touchdowns and two picks. I mean, I just it frustrated

170
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: me so much. A number number one. Oregon left some

171
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: plays on the field. They dropped the touchdow, missed the

172
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: field goal, had a fumble on a wide open touchdown

173
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: in the red zone. It was just it was just

174
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: missed opportunity for them to put Auburn away. And then

175
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: in the second half, aside from that first drive where

176
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: they scored or after that, Oregon went in a shell

177
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 1: and got super conservative, and I hated it because not

178
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: one single time throughout the entire second half, I don't believe.

179
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: I think I'm right that there was not a pass

180
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: thrown by Justin Herbert over fifteen yards. Some of that

181
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 1: is played calling, and well some of it is Justin Herbert,

182
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,599
Speaker 1: but the majority of it is played calling. Because it

183
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: was all quick, get the ball out right now, try

184
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: to get four yards and and they just played right

185
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: into Auburn's hand instead of being aggressive going forward on

186
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: fourth and one early in the fourth quarter and not

187
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: waiting until that one big moment like go out and

188
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: be aggressive, win the game while you have the football,

189
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: instead of trying to have a defensive stand even though

190
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: your defense was playing phenomenal yesterday. And I think it's

191
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: probably for me, it just all filters back into that

192
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: mindset of you know, when you when you're in a

193
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: conference surrounded by good teams and you play a lot

194
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: of close games, when crunch time comes, you don't have

195
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: to act like you haven't been there before, or that

196
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: you don't have to act like you have been there

197
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: before because you have. It's not an act, right, And

198
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: so you know you're you're in this position. And Mario

199
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: crystal Ball, you know, to his credit, has done a

200
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: great job in in filling that roster with high end

201
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: talent um. There there there were players on the field

202
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: for Oregon yesterday that it was very obvious would do

203
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: absolutely fine over a twelve thirteen game season in the SEC.

204
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: I mean, troy Die troyde had an amazing day, and

205
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: then at the end of the day, speed kills. For me,

206
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: I think it was speed versus size, And I really

207
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: hate to fall into the whole Pack twelve versus sec stereotype,

208
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: but you had one big, bad, bruising team and you

209
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: had a team full of cheetahs, and it really showed

210
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: in the first quarter when Auburn just couldn't keep up

211
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: with Oregon. But for some reason, Oregon didn't have what

212
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: it took to be able to run that up. I mean,

213
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: they should have had twenty one very early on Addison

214
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: drops that ball in the in the end zone, and

215
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: then from there it was just like it just felt

216
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: like they never really got that momentum back because the

217
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: pedal was to the floor before that. It really was

218
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: I saw some really really good things from them that

219
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: running that bubble screen, with Jalen Red getting seven yards

220
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: here and there, with Johnny Johnson, you know, uh, making

221
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 1: making catches. This is gonna be a very good team.

222
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,599
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a really hard team for anybody in

223
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: the Pack twelve to deal with. But this is a

224
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: win that they should have gotten, especially against a freshman quarterback.

225
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: Bow Nick showed a lot of moxi but at the

226
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: end of the day, he went thirteam for thirty one.

227
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: He hit on two three passes in the fourth quarter

228
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: that really mattered, But he also gave the ball the

229
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: ball away twice and what did Oregon do with it? So, Ralph,

230
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: I have a point and a question for you before

231
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: we wrap up this Oregon game. So the point is

232
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: is that as as much as as good as Oregon played, right,

233
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: they had you know, the the running backs did well,

234
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: everybody did well. The thing that everybody pointed to with

235
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: this game was gonna be the offensive line versus the

236
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: m Auburn's defensive line, and I thought it was very

237
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: clear that Oregon's offensive line won that battle. I mean

238
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 1: like they did. They had a great day block and

239
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: those Auburn defensive lineman and aside from when Auburn brought pressure,

240
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: it was the backs that had a little bit of

241
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: trouble blocking them as opposed to the defensive line. So

242
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: I think that all the hype surrounding Oregan's offensive line

243
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: was very, very warranted. And the question I have to you, Ralph,

244
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: is after looking at that game, because Oregon clearly played

245
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: the toughest team out of Antipack twelve school this week.

246
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: So how do you What was your takeaway from this

247
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: team in terms of the national conversation. I think that

248
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: Oregon is definitely in contention. So when the Pack twelve,

249
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: my mind hasn't changed on that. I'm not sure if

250
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: I would completely agree on the offensive line doing. There

251
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: were a couple of instances where I felt like the

252
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: offensive line did a good job when they got that

253
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: touchdown taken away and had to come back in and

254
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: and punch it in. Um that you know, they did

255
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: a good job there, um. But other than that, I mean,

256
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: if you take away the thirty seven yard run from c. J. Verdell,

257
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: uh you're talking about, and you take away the minus

258
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: sixteen yards on Justin Herbert's losses on his eight you know,

259
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 1: quote unquote carries, then you're sitting at twenty four carries

260
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: for sixty nine yards. That's not going that's two point

261
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: nine yards and carry. That's not going to get it done.

262
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: But they're running game was also the bubble screen game,

263
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: and so they got a lot of those yards that way. Um.

264
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: My thing is, I still have the same concern about

265
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert. He needs to be able to prove that

266
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: he is a star quarterback and not just somebody who

267
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: peaked as a sophomore. UM. It was he. He had

268
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: a good completion percentage, but he was throwing very completeable passes.

269
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: When it came time to really go downfield, there wasn't

270
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: a lot um, you know, I think they had the

271
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: one seven yard pass to Johnny Johnson and everything else

272
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: was twenty yards and under every single reception on So

273
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: that's an issue for UM. The offensive line is definitely

274
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: I think the class of the pack twelve and and

275
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: there there burden of proof wasn't really high. That all

276
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: they had to do was hold their own against Auburn

277
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: for for them to look like they were as advertised,

278
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: and I feel like they did that. The one thing

279
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: that you and I have talked about even off air,

280
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: is I wanted to see a better effort from Thomas Graham.

281
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: I think he can be a star. I want to

282
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: see him step up, and I feel like he did that.

283
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: I think I think he had a pretty good game.

284
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: Yeah I would. I would say he had a pretty

285
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: good good game. But the star is the dude that

286
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: I believe in, the dude who is the best guy

287
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: I think on Oregon's entire defense. That's Jevon Holland. He

288
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: is a NFL first round pick, just just written all

289
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: over the kids like he's fantastic and he's number number eight.

290
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: If you did, you couldn't help, but hear his name yesterday,

291
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: he was definitely all over the place. Did he am

292
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: I wrong on this that I missed? Did he dropped

293
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: an interception? Though? No? No, no he did drop an

294
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: No he he was like, no, he caught an interception? Yeah. Um.

295
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: The next game I want to talk about is the

296
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: second toughest game for any pack twelve team yesterday that

297
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: was Stanford, Well Northwestern versus Stanford. Northwestern came out to

298
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: the farm after last year. Stanford had to go out

299
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: there and play like a nine am kick, which was

300
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: atrocious and it did not end well for Stanford and

301
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: Stanford ended up holding on seventeen to seven. What was

302
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: your takeaway from Stanford in this game? Oh? Well, David

303
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: Shaw after the game sounds like he listens to our

304
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: podcast because he was angrily defending Cameron Scarlett to a

305
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: to a reporter who just asked, you know, what has

306
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: he done to step up? And uh? And David Schell

307
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: was like, first of all, let's just talk about the

308
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: fact this kid's in the best shape of his life

309
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: and he put in the work and he's been here

310
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: a long time. I think what he had twenty two

311
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: carriers for ninety seven yards. We had a good enough game. Um,

312
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: the real storyline to come out of this game is

313
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: that kJ Costello was done dirty. And UM, I know

314
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: that these weren't. This wasn't necessarily a Pack twelve crew,

315
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: but when you watch pack to a football, you get

316
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: pretty sick of terrible officiating. And if they're not going

317
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: to protect the quarterbacks in this conference, when this conference's

318
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: best asset are its quarterbacks, then it's gonna be a

319
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: long ass year. That was a bad I mean, that

320
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 1: was a clear targeting call on the Northwestern player. That

321
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: was atrocious. He should have been thrown out of the game.

322
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: And then Mills was able to come in, and he's

323
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: clearly not the same quarterback because he's young, he's a freshman.

324
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 1: He's not the same quarterback as kJ Costello is. But

325
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: they were able to hold on and I think that

326
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 1: that's a little bit of credit to Stanford's defense, who

327
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 1: was stout. They didn't even give up a touchdown until

328
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 1: the fourth almost the end of the fourth quarter, really,

329
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: And but North also to Northwestern is not the hotbed

330
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: of offense. And and like you said with David Shaw

331
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: defending Scarlet, nobody's calling Scarlet a bum. He's just not special,

332
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 1: like they're like, he's not a special back. I will say, though,

333
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: I will give him credit. He did look better at

334
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: finding holes than he had shown at any point in

335
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: time and had he gotten carries over the last couple

336
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: of seasons. So there's promise there. But this team is

337
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 1: gonna have to throw the football to win because those

338
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: days of having a back go for two hundred yards

339
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: hundred and eight hundred ninety yards, that's not happening. And

340
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: it's especially not happening against Pack twelve. North. Competition is

341
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: not happening against Cal. It's not happening against Oregon. We

342
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: saw that it's not happening against Washington. So so Stanford

343
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: better we get ready to hope. kJ Costello is not

344
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 1: gonna spend any time out And you know, because they

345
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: have a tough schedule. They're off at USC next week

346
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: and they get kind of a break because kJ Costello.

347
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, because J. T. Daniels is down and then

348
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: they had to to UCF, so they better hope kJ

349
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: Costello can get back quickly. He looked so good in

350
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: the first half. I mean he looked he looked legit

351
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: like he looked NFL ready in that first half, and

352
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: then north will I don't I feel like north Western

353
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: wasn't really playing to win. I feel like they're playing

354
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: to keep it close because you and I talked about

355
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: on the preview show, Isaiah Bowser, they're running back. Um,

356
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: he was good and Stanford was going to have a

357
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 1: trouble handling him that he only touched the ball ten

358
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 1: times for fifty four yards. Outside of Isaiah Bowser, I

359
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: think they had twenty four carries for forties some yards. Yeah, carries.

360
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 1: They didn't feed their best players. They looked like they

361
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: were just trying to stay in the game. So of

362
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: course at the end of the game when they actually

363
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: have to open up the offense, they end up giving

364
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: up a defensive touchdown which allowed Stanford to come to spread,

365
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: which was kind That was the worst. That was one

366
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: of the worst bad beats Reready Gamblers that I've ever seen,

367
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: because Stanford was a six point Stanford was a six

368
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: point favorite in the game. And they were up ten

369
00:19:55,160 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: to seven North Northwestern. The game is ending, it's over.

370
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: They're getting they're gonna give the ball back to Stanford,

371
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: and the game's gonna be over. Taking the no harm,

372
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: no foul. If you bet Northwestern, you win. What was

373
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: it a bad snap? It ends up it was either

374
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: bad bad snap or no he he rolled He just

375
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: rolled out too far and got destroy The two players

376
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: fumbled into the end zone and then Northwestern had a

377
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: chance to fall in the football and missed. Ends up. Ye,

378
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: so a safety would have been fine. It would have

379
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: give you a five point victory. But yeah, that was

380
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 1: absolutely awful. That was awful and atrocious. Um next game up, Ralph,

381
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: We'll we'll go to the USC. We'll go to the

382
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: USC Fresno State game. I said it, and this ended

383
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: up happening. It didn't happen away exactly I thought it would,

384
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: because I didn't think that J. T. Daniels was gonna

385
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: get hurt. But I thought that USC would win this game.

386
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 1: But it was not gonna be It's not it wasn't

387
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 1: gonna be far enough apart for anybody too, Like, you know,

388
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: feel confident about the future and about the direction of

389
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 1: the program and all of this stuff. But with J T.

390
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: Daniels hurt, that buys a little bit of excuses and

391
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:16,719
Speaker 1: good grace for Clay Clay Hilton, so the bar, I

392
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 1: think the bar has been effectively lowered a little bit

393
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 1: for his for his hot seat. Yeah, this was a

394
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: frustrating game to watch. I watched it start to finish,

395
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: and I was piste off pretty much the entire time.

396
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 1: This this is the equivalent of an NFL team playing

397
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: against uh CFL team, and you know that it should

398
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: probably be a blowout, but you know that the rules

399
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: are a little bit different in the CFL, so there

400
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: might not be some stuff for the NFL team to

401
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: prepare for. And then at the end it ends up

402
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 1: being a close game, and because it was a close game,

403
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: you have people in that shouldn't have been in end

404
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: up getting hurt. And the whole thing is just a

405
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: giant mass. So a win is a win. But there

406
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: were First of all, there were two things in that

407
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: game that Clay Hilton did that genuinely made me fear

408
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: for his job, regardless of whether they won the game

409
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: or not. One was the opening kickoff, having two players

410
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: wearing the same freaking jersey number, so they get a

411
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: sixty one. That is like, that is one that you

412
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: can't get away from. That. That's on a coaching and

413
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: preparation issue. You can't blame a player. You can't come

414
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 1: out and you can't do anything other than eat that blame.

415
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: So even if you're the kind of person to like

416
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: put responsibility on somebody else, you can't. And then the

417
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: second thing is you have a true freshman quarterback. You

418
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: are at midfield, it is fourth down, and you all

419
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: you need to do is try to draw them off sides,

420
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: and if it doesn't work, eat a delay of game

421
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: and punt the football. And instead Clay Hilton, again he's

422
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: the one who made the decision. The blame can fall

423
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: on nobody else. Clay Hilton takes the time out and

424
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: then he rolls Keaton Ovis back out onto the field,

425
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: and you figure, okay, you have another opportunity to try

426
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: to draw them off sides, and if it doesn't work,

427
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: eat the penalty and pump the football. And they snapped

428
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: the football and Keith and Slovis got hit the moment

429
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: he snapped the football, so the offensive line wasn't even ready.

430
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 1: You could tell they weren't even bought into this idea,

431
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 1: being the crew, the announcers were flabbergasted that they would

432
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 1: ever even try to do this in the first place.

433
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, Fresno State has the

434
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: ball at the end of the game with a chance

435
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: to tie, and you could just tell Fresno State was

436
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: not afraid of this much more talented team. And then,

437
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: I mean, if you you can the mistakes, Stephen Carr

438
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: comes out in the first quarter and he looks like

439
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: an absolute monster. You know how many times he got

440
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: the ball six He caught six passes, which was huge,

441
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: but out of the backfield, he looked like the best player.

442
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: He got the ball six times out of the backfield.

443
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,199
Speaker 1: Tyler Vaughan's was a man among boys out there, and

444
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 1: somehow a monros st Brown, who was one of the

445
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 1: best high school sivers I've ever seen in my life,

446
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: couldn't get it going. Michael Pittman Jr. Had six catches

447
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: for twenty eight yards. He was kind of wasted. This

448
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: was just that you could see all of the talent

449
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: out there on the field and them never really being

450
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,360
Speaker 1: able to put it together. I don't know if it's

451
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: the offensive system they're running. I don't know what's going on,

452
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 1: but they looked really good early on, and then it

453
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: felt like they were just trying to screw up and

454
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,199
Speaker 1: it all was a top down thing. And now I

455
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 1: feel like I have a little bit better understanding of

456
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: everybody who's piste off at Clay Hilton's Yeah, so we

457
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 1: have in in one week, we have I think we's

458
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 1: just started keeping track of this Ralph the the worst

459
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: decisions of the year. So we already through one week

460
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: have have three of the possible three worst coaching I mean,

461
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: like these are gonna make it to the finals when

462
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: we get to the end of the season. You have

463
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: the Clay Hilton that time out that you just described,

464
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: You have UM and Arizona. You you have they called

465
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 1: a time out fourth and twenty six, and you have

466
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: Oregon and Mario Christo Baul not knowing the rules, not

467
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 1: knowing that Justin Herbert couldn't come back in after a

468
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: time out. It was this is why maybe you need

469
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: The NFL hasn't figured out you four preseason games, So

470
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: maybe maybe college football just needs a preseason game to

471
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: get people back in. I all I know is Isaiah

472
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: Polomo who is uh near and dear to my heart,

473
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: he's somebody who broke his commitment story on my website,

474
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: Arizona Mersity dot com. If he doesn't get that interception

475
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 1: at the end of the fourth quarter and and Fresno

476
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: State keeps driving, because I mean I was cracking up

477
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,199
Speaker 1: Jorge rain of Fresno States quarterback. I mean he's just

478
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: like and every man. Like I feel like I've worked

479
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 1: with horror I Raina at every job I've ever had.

480
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: Like he's just somebody I wanted to hang out with.

481
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: Right Like it felt like you had a wreck league

482
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 1: quarterback out there just taking it to USC. So at

483
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,199
Speaker 1: the end, I was almost rooting for Jorge Raina to

484
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: be carried off like a hero. Um. But you know,

485
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 1: Isaiah pola Mount, he steps and he gets that interception

486
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: and and this is the most uncomfortable I think any

487
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: Pack twelve team has to be after getting a win.

488
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: Oh I've won agree with that, dude, because they got

489
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: Stanford rolling into town next week. And it is not no, no, no,

490
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: they have they have Stanford today, have UCF. Either way,

491
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: it's it's trouble. I mean, there are no breaks on this.

492
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: So they they have Stanford on the seventh and then

493
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 1: B what at b y U, which is gonna be

494
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: Keith and Slovis's first taste of a hostile road game.

495
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 1: And let's talk about that for a second. Because J T.

496
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,199
Speaker 1: Daniels being out for the year, how does that affect

497
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: your expectation of USC as a whole? Um, I'm not

498
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: super high on JD. Daniels to begin with. So, but however,

499
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 1: he's still better than a true freshman. I don't really

500
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: love it, but I mean I think that that I

501
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: think that J T. Daniels is at least two wins

502
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 1: better than probably Slogs. I never I never really like

503
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 1: j T. I didn't get what rivals saw in him.

504
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: Uh when when those ratings came out? Um, And so,

505
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,199
Speaker 1: I mean, I've never been that high on JD. Daniels.

506
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: I don't like his size, I don't like his delivery. Um.

507
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:41,679
Speaker 1: But the one thing that he knows how to do,

508
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 1: and you know, from his time in high school up

509
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: through now, is get the ball to the guys who

510
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: make the places. That's the thing that he's the absolute

511
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: best that I've been watching keithan Slovis play since he

512
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: was a junior in high school and the thing with

513
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 1: Keithan Slovis is he's never really played against anybody like

514
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: the best. The best UH competition he's ever had was

515
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: Fresno State, and from this week out, every single team

516
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 1: he faces will be the best competition he's ever seen.

517
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 1: He is somebody in a T shirt and shorts will

518
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: make you think that he's the next coming of Kurt Warner.

519
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,360
Speaker 1: And that's something that you've actually heard. Graham Harrold said,

520
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: he's as good as anybody I've ever seen. Okay, just

521
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: like when you're pat it's different pads because he's never

522
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 1: really had to face pressure before. He threw a beautiful

523
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: deep ball last night and and that made people think, oh, well,

524
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: you know that this could be really good for us.

525
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: Then he went out and tried to do it again

526
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: and through a pick. So everybody, everybody's good in underwear, dude,

527
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: everybody's good in underwear. Of the next game of who

528
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: had a tough game? I expected the game to be

529
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: a little bit closer than this because, uh, because the

530
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: team that they were playing is not expect was not

531
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: didn't have high expectations. But I should have known because

532
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: it's at the end of the day, it's Oregon State.

533
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: You had Oklahoma State versus Oregon State. Who I was

534
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: watching this game on my phone at a high school

535
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: football game, so it took me about forty five seconds

536
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: to figure out which team was which team because they

537
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: look exactly alike, Yeah, they can't do that again. They

538
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: can't do that again. It was funny for a minute,

539
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: but I mean that in kudos to both quarterbacks for

540
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: not throwing an interception, because I mean, for a minute

541
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: there you had. You had uh like seventy total passes

542
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: in this game without one interception, and every single time

543
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: a receiver caught the ball, I was like, is it

544
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: who is that? Like? Yeah, I kept forgetting which team

545
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: was which, and then you see the os U and

546
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: the help me the black and orange. It's the exact

547
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: same thing. It was like. It was like finkless ironhorn, ironhorn,

548
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: this finkle. It was like which one of you guys.

549
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: It's like that Spider Man meme where they're winning each other.

550
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: They're like, oh, no, it's you. But so positively I

551
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: would say that, Um, Jake Lutton Lutan, however you say

552
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: his name, apologize, Um he played he played well. Couldn't

553
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: considering how he was last year through for two fifty

554
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: one three touchdowns at the I guess the more disappointing

555
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: part was the fact that they gave up oh god,

556
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: they gave up three fifty two yards rushing. So if

557
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: if they're giving that up to Oklahoma State, then some

558
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: of these other Pack twelve teams are gonna have a

559
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: field day. But Jamar Jefferson only ended up sixteen carries

560
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: eighties seven yards, which has to be a disappointment. In Yeah,

561
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: this game, to me was a credit to Mike Gunde

562
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: because you have your offensive identity. Sometimes you just want

563
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: to come in and be yourself regardless of what you're

564
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: what looks you're being given on the defensive side of

565
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: the football. And uh, I think I think Mike Gundy

566
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: was smart enough to say, like, you know, we like

567
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: to throw the ball around, but against this team, if

568
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: we keep the ball on the ground, we're gonna be

569
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: able to get out of here without really breaking a sweat.

570
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: And that's what they did. They ran the ball fifty

571
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: two times for three hundred and fifty two yards. Everybody

572
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: in the Pack Twell had to be looking at this

573
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: game like, all right, well, going up against Oregon State's

574
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: not gonna be great for our defensive stats. They obviously

575
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: know how to move the book football. They got talent

576
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: on the old line. They got talent. Isaiah Hodgens looks

577
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: like a stud. Jamar Jefferson went right back to doing

578
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: what what he he does. Our Tavis Pierce looks slid.

579
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: So you figure like, oh, this is gonna hurt our

580
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: overall defensive stats. They're gonna move the football. But my god,

581
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: they can't stop a soul. You shouldn't give up over

582
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: eight yards of carrying a two separate running backs who

583
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: have more than ten Garry's ever. You should never, ever

584
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: ever be in that position. Imagine what you No Benjamin

585
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: and Zack Moss are thinking about playing Oregon s date

586
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: this year. Oh it's that birdman gift where he's just

587
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: rubbing his hands together, Like that's everybody right now, like

588
00:31:54,600 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: Bob a que chicken. Well on on to the next game.

589
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: We you know you you can't spend a whole lot

590
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: of time on Oregon State. I'm sorry, it's just not Yeah,

591
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: even if you're true, even if you're trying to run

592
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: out the clock, they'll just let you score a touchdown. Um,

593
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: how would you judge Colorado's fifty two thirty one game

594
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: over Colorado State because it was Mail Tucker's first game. Um,

595
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: it's the last game for a while, I think in

596
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: the Colorado Colorado State game, or at least at that

597
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: particular stadium and over Adam Basco. Yeah, where you can't drink.

598
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: We talked about that last time. I can't drink there,

599
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: and and overall Colorado looked great. The only question mark

600
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: is we're we're circling Laviska's Channa. Three catches, forty eight

601
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown. It was like they were saying,

602
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: you know what, you may beat us, but guess who

603
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: won't beat us. It will not be the China man.

604
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: And and as you can see, that works out in

605
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: Colorado's favors. I think they'll take it. And the cool

606
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: thing about Lavisco Chanels, as much as we want him

607
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: to have, you know, twenty five touches every single game,

608
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: to score three four touchdowns every single game. I've met

609
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: the dude, I've talked to the dude. Nobody has ever

610
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: cared less about stats than this man. So as long

611
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: as the team is able to put up fifty two points,

612
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,479
Speaker 1: I don't think he cares. I mean Montez only had

613
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: to throw the ball twenty times in this game. Um,

614
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: they really only I think they ran like that was

615
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: scored like fifty two points on sixty plates, So that's encouraging. UM.

616
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: On the other side, Wow, they gave up a lot

617
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: of passing yards, like and I know that three seventy

618
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: four isn't that much when you're just talking about pack

619
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: twelve play, but this wasn't a pack twelve team. This

620
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: was Colorado, right and and not one single receiver had

621
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: over a hundred yards. So there were holes all over

622
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: this defense. And that's a problem definitely, because you gave

623
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: up thirty one recessions for three seventy four. That's over

624
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: ten yards to catch. That is way too far. That

625
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: is way too much. I mean that those are bad numbers.

626
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: Even if you're playing against Mike Leach's Washington State with

627
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: a phenomenal quarterback like those are still bad air. And

628
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: I think here was here to me is the biggest

629
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: problem for for Colorado. They were up the whole time.

630
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: Colorado State pretty much had to throw every time, and

631
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 1: Colorado only had two sacks and beyond that, only two

632
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: quarterback hurries. That is awful. Like, even even if your

633
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: defensive backs are good, they're gonna get torched if you

634
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,919
Speaker 1: can't find a way to pressure the quarterback. UM right now,

635
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: I look at that defense, and you know they had

636
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: the Mickey l onew who had two interceptions, which is good,

637
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: and Nate Landman continues to be one of the more

638
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: solid linebackers in the Pac twelve. But the rest of

639
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 1: these guys got to step up. I don't know if

640
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: it's a scheme thing or Mel Tucker has to step

641
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 1: in and be more involved, but my goodness, you can't.

642
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: You you can't only hurry the quarterback twice. Well, Mel

643
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: is a really good defensive coach, so you you have

644
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: to think that he's curious. Okay, I gotta get some

645
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,399
Speaker 1: new players who can run the system that I want

646
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: to run because a lot of the times it's personnel.

647
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: Because when you're running UM Like, I've talked to other

648
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: coaches who scout Alabama and they're like, yo, Alabama can

649
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 1: do different things, and Georgia can do different things on defense,

650
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: and Washington UM and you talk, can do different things

651
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: on defense than other teams can do because they can't

652
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 1: hold up on the outside at the corner position or

653
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: safety is one on one if you blitz and all

654
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,240
Speaker 1: these things like other teams can or they don't tackle

655
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: in space as well, so it makes it a lot easier.

656
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: But Colorado this this week they get Nebraska, and Nebraska,

657
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: uh it came in the season ranked. Last year Colorado

658
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: snuck out of there after Adrian Martinez got hurt. So

659
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: you have to know that even though the game is

660
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: in Boulder, it should be much more competitive. And Nebraska

661
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 1: is a much better team than they were last year.

662
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: That is true, That is true. But I still don't

663
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: see them throwing the ball from three fifty yards, so

664
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: hopefully Colorado was ready to stop the run for sure. Um,

665
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: the next game up, your team, your squad, the well,

666
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 1: actually your squad is the Arizona Wildcat Amston's Oh hey

667
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 1: now the but you're but the team that you cover

668
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 1: the most, the Arizona State Sun Devils. I will tell

669
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: you even Okay, First, first off, I have to be honest.

670
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: I don't like a thirty seven win over Kent Kent

671
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 1: State just optically it doesn't look good. However, I came

672
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: away very impressed with Jayden Daniels and even though it

673
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 1: was kids state. I was impressed. He's a he's a freshman.

674
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 1: And now I'm looking because I was trying to calculate

675
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks in the pack twelve, and I'm like, there's

676
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: only really three. I really like how Lot in this,

677
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: Herbert Easton, and well I don't love easn but yeah,

678
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: kJ Costello, Easton and Herbert those are the three best

679
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the conference. But after that, I'm looking like,

680
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, Jane Daniels could be in that second tier

681
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:20,879
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks because I don't love because you know how

682
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: I feel about Khalil Tate Amston, I don't. I don't

683
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: love Stephen Montez that much. You know, Cow Cow's quarterback

684
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:33,839
Speaker 1: situation is atrocious. Garbage was bad again. So I'm looking

685
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:37,479
Speaker 1: at at Jane Daniels and I'm like, Okay, you got

686
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: a shot, buddy. I would take him even over Tyler

687
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 1: Huntley at at Utah right now. Yeah, I I was impressed.

688
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: At the same time, I see things that need to

689
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: be fixed immediately. Um. First of all, Jane and Daniels

690
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:56,399
Speaker 1: is unbothered. I mean bo Nick's level unbothered. Those two

691
00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: dudes are some of the most college ready quarterbacks I've

692
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: ever seen, just as far as like the environment doesn't

693
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:10,280
Speaker 1: shake them at all, like that, he took five sacks,

694
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 1: partially because the offensive line has a couple of major issues.

695
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:19,240
Speaker 1: Their their backup center, uh broke his foot on Sunday,

696
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: and so they started a true freshman center and a

697
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 1: true freshman quarterback. And I don't know when the last

698
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 1: time that's ever happened is And he he took five sacks.

699
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,439
Speaker 1: He tried to make some throws that you probably could

700
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: have got away with in high school to just with

701
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 1: his level of talent, and those went a little awry.

702
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: But other than that, I mean, this kid looks like

703
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: he doesn't sweat. This kid doesn't breathe hard, like his exactly,

704
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 1: like his resting heart rate is like five five a minute,

705
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: the same as his jersey number. And so like I

706
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: I that part impressed me. He's definitely gonna have to

707
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: maybe get a little more worried about his own personal

708
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:04,919
Speaker 1: safety because he has the body of a broomstick. And

709
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,320
Speaker 1: and and in two weeks they're gonna be in Lansing, Michigan,

710
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: and those boys don't mess around when it comes to

711
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: putting a bruising on the quarterback. And so Um, A

712
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: lot's gonna fall that, you know, Benjamin, offensive line isn't

713
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 1: as good as we thought it would be. I was.

714
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: They played twenty five freshman George. That's now. Now, that

715
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: is a testament for Arizona State for the future, as

716
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: long as those freshmen are really good. And but I

717
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: totally agree with you about the offensive line. You know,

718
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: this was Kent State. So when you play Utah, when

719
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:46,399
Speaker 1: you play you know, even UH rector at USC, when

720
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: you play Oregon, like these are not going in Washington,

721
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: you are going to run into a serious problem, a

722
00:39:55,840 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: serious problem when you have a freshman quarterback under fire,

723
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:02,959
Speaker 1: even though he's a gun slinger and he can throw

724
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 1: the ball or he will start dripping some sweat. Once

725
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: you knock a do down enough times, we'll see. And

726
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: I would worry if he didn't because I didn't make

727
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: him a sociopath. I want to read you to. I

728
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 1: want to read you to uh two things here and

729
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: you let me know what you think of him. Um.

730
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,760
Speaker 1: First of all, Jack Jones, first play on the field,

731
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 1: he forces a fumble. What do you think of his comeback?

732
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: That's a big deal, right, Oh yeah, yeah, he came

733
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: from us USC. I think he's a long beach poly kid.

734
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: He uh, he got kicked out of school. I'm I'm

735
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: all four second chances. If you jump through all the

736
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 1: hoops and the necessary things that you need to leave

737
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 1: live in a second chance world. And nobody's perfect, so

738
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 1: you know, so you just have to if people go

739
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 1: through all the steps. I like that, and I think

740
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: he immediately makes Arizona States roster better because he's a

741
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 1: five star athlete. He's a like so I like it.

742
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,879
Speaker 1: I was happy about it. Yeah, so you know, I'm

743
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 1: happy he's got it. He's got a shot and it's

744
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 1: in the back twelve, So I I love talent staying

745
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:09,280
Speaker 1: out west. And then here's a fun one. Michael Turk.

746
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:15,439
Speaker 1: Five punts, sixty three yards per punt, four of them

747
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 1: over fifty yards, three of them inside the twenty, with

748
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 1: a long of seventy five. Dude, that was impressive. I

749
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: was like, he is a weapon. I was. That was

750
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 1: I forgot to even mention that was one of the

751
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: parts of the Oregon Arborn game that I was excited

752
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: about because Oregon hasn't had a spectacular punter in god

753
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: knows how long, and I was wondering, I mean, It's

754
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: almost like Alabama and field goal kickers. But but this

755
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 1: kid at Turk, he is a change the field position

756
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: kind of guy. So that's one of those things that

757
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 1: kind of helps make up for your offensive line when

758
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 1: you do get put in some bad spots, is that

759
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 1: your punterer can then boom a seventy five yard punt

760
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: out of bounds inside the twenty and you're like, Okay,

761
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: now our deepest can come out and play a little

762
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: bit better. Yeah, because you got you got your punters

763
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 1: who are like the Coffin corner specialists, and then you

764
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 1: got your your guys who can boom the ball. It's

765
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,359
Speaker 1: very rare that you find a guy who can do both.

766
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 1: Maybe this was an anomaly, maybe this was just like

767
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 1: a one off, great great performance in punter history. But

768
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 1: I mean, if if her Edwards and his sort of

769
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:25,760
Speaker 1: slow down, methodical NFL style game plan has a punter

770
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 1: like this, Arizona State is probably gonna be in some

771
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: games that they don't deserve to be in. Yeah, I

772
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,800
Speaker 1: agree with you. And if they can keep feeding the

773
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: meter with you know, Benjamin, the oviously line gives him

774
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 1: a bunch of line holes to run through. But I'm

775
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: concerned about his rushing ability too, because if you're because

776
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 1: here's the thing about running backs and why they're kind

777
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 1: of devalued sometimes is because as good as they are,

778
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:57,919
Speaker 1: as good as they are sometimes well a lot of times,

779
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 1: if they don't have good people black king for them,

780
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 1: they can't do anything. They are just left out to

781
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 1: dry um. Next game I want to go over is

782
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:13,280
Speaker 1: Utah and b y U h thirty to twelve. Utah

783
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: won the game. There was a long lightning delay. It

784
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 1: didn't matter, you know that. Utah just put b y

785
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 1: U in a strangle hold. They couldn't score, that could

786
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 1: barely move the ball. However, my same eyes left the

787
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 1: game with the exact same concerns as I came with

788
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:36,800
Speaker 1: coming into the game. For Utah, their quarterback Tyler Huntley

789
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 1: is not special enough for them to I don't think

790
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 1: he's special enough for them to beat any Pack twelve

791
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 1: team in the Pac twelve Championship. And and they're not

792
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: special and he's not special enough to take this team.

793
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 1: If they did even do that to get a victory

794
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 1: in a in a in the college football playoff, that

795
00:43:54,880 --> 00:44:00,839
Speaker 1: that would be an absolute massacre. Yeah, yeah, I'm very

796
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 1: curious to see what this team looks like playing from behind. Um,

797
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 1: you might not have to worry about it because this

798
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 1: was I mean, this was impressive. Utah goes into provo

799
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 1: and they immediately made b why you played their game

800
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: and that was where we were at for the entirety

801
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 1: of the game. Was was b y you trying to

802
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 1: trying to beat Utah at Utah football? And uh, I

803
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 1: mean it was. It was a thing of beauty. If

804
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:30,320
Speaker 1: you're into that sort of thing, Um into just Utah

805
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,400
Speaker 1: pounding the rock over and over and over again, putting

806
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 1: you in a position where you're down early so you

807
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: have to throw, and them just unleashing that havoc reaking

808
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:43,360
Speaker 1: defense on you with those super physical, well developed corners.

809
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,479
Speaker 1: I mean, this could not have gone any better because

810
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 1: I don't I don't really think Utah is really the

811
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: team that's equipped to blow a team out by forty.

812
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: I think their their style of play sort of precludes that.

813
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 1: But I mean, uh, I mean, and and b y

814
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:00,800
Speaker 1: U's got some good players. They got some good receivers

815
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,279
Speaker 1: who you know. Gunna Romney and Matt Bushman are two

816
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 1: guys that I covered in high school. They combined for

817
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: a total of nine catches for and that's about as

818
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 1: good as a duo will do against this Utah defensive backfield.

819
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:16,359
Speaker 1: I think so unless you go out and you get

820
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: an early lead and then you find a way to

821
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: make them have to throw their way back in Utah

822
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 1: is looking really hard to totally agree to. I totally

823
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:26,839
Speaker 1: agree that that that they are. This is a good

824
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 1: football team, especially on defense. Um Lucky Foto was absolutely phenomenal.

825
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,879
Speaker 1: Jan Jalen Johnson had a good game at corner. They

826
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 1: both showed why they are you know why why they

827
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 1: are NFL type players in NFL type talent. Zack Moss

828
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 1: who Arizona State fans had the bashed me and we're

829
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: upset with me for saying for putting him above you know.

830
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 1: Benjamin for the back twelve players the top five players

831
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 1: for this year, had a great day. Twenty nine carries,

832
00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: a hundred and eighty seven yards and a touchdown. He

833
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 1: is going to I don't like how many carries that

834
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 1: he had to take, because you don't want your running

835
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,399
Speaker 1: back happening to take twenty nine carries every single game.

836
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 1: But he should get a break the next two weeks

837
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 1: with Northern Illinois and yeah, they got two You're right,

838
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 1: they got two weeks off. He's looking by weeks or

839
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: they might have the USC game that we had circled.

840
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 1: That doesn't look as bad as it did, because although

841
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 1: neither one of us is super high on J. T. Daniels,

842
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:38,319
Speaker 1: he's like a freshman playing against the Utah defense does

843
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:42,280
Speaker 1: not look friendly at all. That looks mean, That looks

844
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 1: that looks like an abuse charge coming. Hey, if you're

845
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: Jack Sears, what do you do at this point? First

846
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:55,799
Speaker 1: of all, if I'm IF, I am IF, I am

847
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: Clay Helton, I'm telling you to kick Rocks homeboy. Because

848
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 1: here's the thing, because I don't I am one in

849
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 1: favor of players being able to transfer. I don't mind it,

850
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: I don't care whatever. However, if you do decide to transfer,

851
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 1: the school then has the right, the athletic department, the

852
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 1: team has the right to say to revoke your scholarship immediately.

853
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: And we're not playing these games. We're not playing these

854
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,919
Speaker 1: Oh I'm I'm in, but I'm not in. No, Either

855
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 1: you're in the portal or you're out of the portal.

856
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 1: Make up your damn mind and know that there's no

857
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 1: there's no discussion you're not the you. You weren't the

858
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 1: backup quarterback, so you're not the backup quarterback. Now there's

859
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 1: no negotiations. But at the point in time you get

860
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 1: into portal and me and you have a discussion and

861
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 1: you say, yes, this is what I'm doing. That's it.

862
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:53,439
Speaker 1: You're not staying on this team. You're you're a You're

863
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:57,400
Speaker 1: You're like Judas, You're a turn coat. We're not fooling

864
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 1: with you. That I mean, I don't like you or

865
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 1: respect you as a person. It just means that you're

866
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: either on the team or you're not on the team.

867
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 1: You can't say I'm in the portal, I'm waging wang

868
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 1: my my my options. No, you either marry me or

869
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 1: we're not dating. Like there's no there's no courtship, there's

870
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 1: no friends with benefits. Were either married or or not.

871
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 1: I like how you snuck the casting Stone segment right

872
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:22,720
Speaker 1: in the middle of the podcast. That was that was good.

873
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 1: We just got, we got, we got. We gotta get

874
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,399
Speaker 1: a get a sponsor for that, because that was about

875
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:31,320
Speaker 1: as good as it gets. Oh man, I appreciated the

876
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 1: we with a couple of games left, Oh my lord,

877
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 1: have mercy. I almost skipped over this U c l A.

878
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:42,359
Speaker 1: Cincinnatty debacle. You can if you want. You can skip

879
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 1: it if you want. There's nothing to say. This team

880
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 1: is not worth talk worth talking about. This is about

881
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 1: to be a pack of leven apostles. Because I I'm

882
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 1: not gloating. I'm not gloating. Can I say something? U

883
00:48:56,480 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 1: c l A is worse than I thought they were? Dude,

884
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 1: you said they were gonna go what at eleven? And

885
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 1: I said I would fight you, and now do Oh

886
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 1: my lord, dude, they so so they play San Diego

887
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:15,800
Speaker 1: State next week. I'm supposed to be in attendance for

888
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 1: that game. I'm telling you, Ralph, they will not lose

889
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 1: to San Diego State. They will not lose to San

890
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 1: Diego State. They can't lose to San Diego State. They

891
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 1: better not lose to San Diego stay. I hope they

892
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:32,839
Speaker 1: don't lose the san Go State. Rocky Rocky Long has

893
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:35,360
Speaker 1: got that. He got that Stanford win, He's got that

894
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 1: Arizona State win. He's like Thanos. He's trying to get

895
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,840
Speaker 1: He's trying to get at least five back twelve teams

896
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 1: before maybe they just join up because this is I

897
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:49,279
Speaker 1: mean eight for twenty six. Dorian Thompson Robinson, you think

898
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 1: you think you think that San Diego State is going

899
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 1: to have a less relentless defensive secondary, And I mean

900
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:01,919
Speaker 1: they're definitely less skilled. I will say this from up close.

901
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 1: And Manny Wilcolms got in trouble for calling San Diego

902
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 1: State's corners trash last year after San Diego State beat

903
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:10,360
Speaker 1: a s U. But the truth is there is a

904
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: talent deficiency in the secondary out there, but they make

905
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 1: up for it by being incredibly aggressive and getting after

906
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:18,839
Speaker 1: the quarterback. They're gonna be taught, They're gonna be really,

907
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 1: really tough to beat. So I have a question for you. Okay, So,

908
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:27,240
Speaker 1: Dorian Thompson Robinson, U c L a sophomore quarterback who's

909
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 1: dad last year came out in bass. Chip Kelly, Oh,

910
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:35,800
Speaker 1: Chip chip Kelly. Uh is terrible. He's not using my

911
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 1: son correctly. Blah blah blah, all of this yesterday. I'm sorry,

912
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 1: well not yesterday, but in their game he was a

913
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 1: team saboteur. He single handedly. I know, we don't critics

914
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 1: criticize the kids, so this is not a criticism of

915
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:58,479
Speaker 1: of him as a person. However, the truth is the truth.

916
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:03,319
Speaker 1: He had four turnovers all by himself, two of them

917
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 1: nobody even touched him. He fumbled the ball rolling out

918
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 1: to his left both times and knocked the ball off

919
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:14,399
Speaker 1: his hip twice. That's just a little bit of carelessness

920
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 1: and then through two terrible interceptions. I mean, I I

921
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:23,360
Speaker 1: don't even if you are if okay? So if you

922
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 1: are Chip Kelly, where do you go? Do a you

923
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 1: go to chase our ur topis do you go? Do

924
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 1: you stay with him? Do you go with like? I

925
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 1: think I think you got to stay with him. I

926
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:39,839
Speaker 1: think you have to stay with him because I think

927
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 1: he gives you your best chance to win. If I

928
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:49,239
Speaker 1: don't know, man, Look look, San Diego State played Weaver State. Uh.

929
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 1: Weaver State was actually pretty good in the FCS last year,

930
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:55,440
Speaker 1: and they held Weaver State too. I think a hundred

931
00:51:55,440 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 1: and fifty total yards hundred fifty total yards uh Jake Constantine,

932
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 1: former Boise State quarterback, nineteen yards in a pick. So

933
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 1: I mean offensively, San Diego State scored no touchdowns. They

934
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 1: won with two field goals six to nothing. So maybe

935
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 1: maybe all you need is one touchdown to win, but

936
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough to get that touchdown. And so,

937
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 1: I but I think that, knowing that San Diego State

938
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:25,440
Speaker 1: doesn't have a very good offense, you put it all

939
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 1: on Dorian Thompson Robinson's shoulders and say go out and

940
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 1: earn it, go out and get it back. Is the

941
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 1: only way to erase the taste in his mouth from

942
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:35,840
Speaker 1: from that last game is to go out and and

943
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:39,400
Speaker 1: even if it's ugly, just get a win. And so,

944
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:41,279
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll be serious for a second. There's no

945
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,880
Speaker 1: reason that U c l A. You should have had

946
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:51,360
Speaker 1: four interceptions, Ralph, they dropped two. Yeah. Oh man, I

947
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:53,879
Speaker 1: don't know what to tell you. This is a ah,

948
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna it's gonna be it's gonna be a

949
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 1: tough game. It's gonna be a really really tough game.

950
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 1: And I mean, do they at least get to play

951
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 1: at home. Yes, they get to play at home. Okay,

952
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 1: so maybe some vans will show up. Maybe I know

953
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 1: what the answer is for U c l A. I

954
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:13,279
Speaker 1: know what the answer is. This is a player that

955
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 1: I had in the top five pack twelve players coming

956
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 1: into this season, Joshua Kelly. Joshua Kelly did not play,

957
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 1: and Darnay Holmes. Their corner did not play either. That

958
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 1: that could have been a ten point difference between those

959
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 1: two guys, right, I mean, why not I go on

960
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 1: one in eleven Ralph. I refuse to believe it. I

961
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:41,360
Speaker 1: will not hear anything of it. But let's get to

962
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:44,319
Speaker 1: the next. Uh. The final three games in the pack

963
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:50,399
Speaker 1: pack twelve, Uh oh, what am I gonna say? Two

964
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:55,399
Speaker 1: of them were not competitive the Washington Eastern Washington game,

965
00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 1: but there was something of note that happened in the

966
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 1: game Washington. They lost their center. Uh, we don't know

967
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:05,919
Speaker 1: exactly what's wrong with him, but they won forty seven

968
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:09,880
Speaker 1: and fourteen. Jacob Easton, who everybody wanted to see the

969
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 1: Seattle kid left home, went to Georgia through for twenty

970
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:20,319
Speaker 1: six for seven for thirty sixty nine yards, four touchdowns.

971
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 1: I am underwhelmed only because they're playing against Eastern Washington.

972
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 1: I mean, they rushed for another two hundred yards. But

973
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:28,839
Speaker 1: this is what you're supposed to do. Do you play

974
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 1: the Eastern Washington? Right? Yeah? I mean I guess Nick

975
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 1: Harris might end up being Okay if I'm if I'm Washington,

976
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:40,799
Speaker 1: maybe I'm I played a little cautious um, because that's

977
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:44,800
Speaker 1: your team captain. That's your four year starter at center.

978
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:47,360
Speaker 1: And it looked like Matteo Melee who came in and

979
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 1: backed him up kid out here from out here in

980
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 1: Arizona in Tucson, looked like he did okay. Um, but

981
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:55,440
Speaker 1: that I mean that that could end up being really

982
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:57,359
Speaker 1: if it's bad for Arizona State, and then it's gonna

983
00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 1: be bad for Washington. You don't want to have to

984
00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 1: be playing young on the offensive line unless they are elite. Um.

985
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 1: I will say that Jacobieson looked pretty good to me.

986
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 1: Uh And if I saw any holes in anything that

987
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 1: Washington was doing, um, it's that if a quarterback can

988
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:17,480
Speaker 1: move around a little bit and get themselves some time,

989
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:22,440
Speaker 1: then I think they might be vulnerable in the defensive backfield.

990
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 1: But again that's a big might because this was a

991
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:29,920
Speaker 1: complete performance. They came out and scored quickly. Um, they're fast,

992
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 1: They're faster than than usual. Uh I they did a

993
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 1: lot of zone blocking. Um. So this is not gonna

994
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:39,280
Speaker 1: be a power running Washington team. They're gonna send McGrew,

995
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:41,799
Speaker 1: They're gonna send that other little running back around the edge.

996
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 1: And so if you can shoot the gaps, you might

997
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 1: be able to keep them to just jacobies and having

998
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:49,040
Speaker 1: to throw down the field. But then he showed he

999
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 1: can hit people in their routes. He can hit people

1000
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:53,479
Speaker 1: in the corner of the end zone. This is gonna

1001
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:56,239
Speaker 1: be a tough, tough Washington offense. The best thing to

1002
00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 1: do might be just trying to keep pace with them,

1003
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:01,880
Speaker 1: but typically they're their their defense is as solid as

1004
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:04,800
Speaker 1: it gets. When I saw them, I saw a complete team.

1005
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 1: Although the Nick Harris injury does concern me a little bit.

1006
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:13,760
Speaker 1: Uh A mad and the other running running back also

1007
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:17,759
Speaker 1: had some really good Oh Newton, they also had some

1008
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:21,320
Speaker 1: I mean, they both had respectable days, had a couple.

1009
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 1: Uh Newton had a twenty three yard run. They it

1010
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:28,879
Speaker 1: looked okay. But you know what Washington gets next week

1011
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 1: they're non conference scheduled, is is a piece of cake.

1012
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:35,799
Speaker 1: I mean, assuming that Hawaii is not some world beater

1013
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 1: like that, we that that they're not this year's fres

1014
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 1: No State, I think we're I think I think it's

1015
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:44,360
Speaker 1: time to take a one year break from scheduling Mountain

1016
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:48,040
Speaker 1: West teams for everybody. Oh yeah, but I mean, I'm

1017
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 1: Florida State fans have to be sick right now. Missouri

1018
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:53,319
Speaker 1: fans are already worried about not having a bowl. Well,

1019
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 1: guess what they were talking about going undefeated and not

1020
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:58,439
Speaker 1: having a bowl in the conversation that was gonna start. Well,

1021
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:01,680
Speaker 1: so I think maybe we just take a Mountain West

1022
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:05,919
Speaker 1: vacation from the next year and let them play other

1023
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:09,560
Speaker 1: Nonpower Conference teams, other Group of five teams, and maybe

1024
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:12,759
Speaker 1: maybe get some Conference USA opponents or something. We are

1025
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:15,719
Speaker 1: going to find out what Jacobieson is made out of

1026
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 1: next week versus Cow, though, because Cow's defense in their

1027
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 1: secondary does not play around they are they send exotic coverages,

1028
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 1: they are going to be the most complex defense he

1029
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 1: faces this regular season in terms of scheme wise. So

1030
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 1: we will we will see, I expect, I mean, and

1031
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 1: Cal doesn't give up a whole lot of passing yards typically.

1032
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 1: They only gave up a hundred and eighty one yesterday,

1033
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 1: so I don't expect it to I will know more

1034
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:51,200
Speaker 1: about Jacobson after they play Cow this upcoming week. But

1035
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 1: then let's move on to the Cow game. Though. Cal

1036
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:57,120
Speaker 1: is one, and oh they're one, and oh that's all

1037
00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 1: that matters. Hey, I told you, I told you you see,

1038
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 1: Davis wasn't gonna roll over the dude Jake Christ Chase Garber's,

1039
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:09,480
Speaker 1: Cal's quarterback. Much maligned from last season, he came out

1040
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 1: of saboteur again this season. He in the beginning of

1041
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:15,960
Speaker 1: the game, I think in the first half, Cal was

1042
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 1: down ten zero going into like midway in the second quarter.

1043
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:25,760
Speaker 1: Cal barely had the ball until about twelve minutes left

1044
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:28,720
Speaker 1: in the second quarter. It was that and that first

1045
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 1: quarter lasted forever. That was the most board I have

1046
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:35,280
Speaker 1: ever been watching football. I'm I kid you not. I

1047
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 1: woke up early this morning to try to because I

1048
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 1: recorded all the Pack twelve games. I wanted to know

1049
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:41,480
Speaker 1: what I was talking about for the podcast. And I

1050
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:43,640
Speaker 1: sat down, I had my coffee, I started watching that

1051
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 1: Cow game and I fell asleep. I fell asleep like

1052
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 1: ten minutes after waking up, because it was brutal to

1053
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:54,000
Speaker 1: get through that first quarter. I mean it. They did

1054
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:58,480
Speaker 1: not look like a power five football team in the

1055
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:01,760
Speaker 1: first twenty minutes of that No, they did not at

1056
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 1: all there, I think Jase garb Chase Garber's had at

1057
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:08,920
Speaker 1: one point in time through I think the beginning of

1058
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:11,960
Speaker 1: the second quarter, he was either one for six and

1059
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:16,240
Speaker 1: two for or two for six and and he had

1060
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:18,880
Speaker 1: thrown a pick, so he only had completed one more

1061
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: passed to his own team that he did to the

1062
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 1: other team. But the good news is is that they

1063
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:28,800
Speaker 1: are much better running the ball. This kid, Christopher Brown

1064
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:33,240
Speaker 1: went for He touched about thirty six times hundred ninety

1065
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 1: seven yards and a touchdown five and a half yard average.

1066
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:39,800
Speaker 1: That is very impressive because that he's a big upgrade

1067
00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:44,440
Speaker 1: athletically from Patrick Laird. Even though Patrick Laird was consistent,

1068
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,880
Speaker 1: he was reliable, he just wasn't you know, He's not

1069
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:50,840
Speaker 1: a game breaker. And this kid, Christopher Brown can be

1070
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:53,160
Speaker 1: a kid who can if he gets Lucy, may be

1071
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:56,760
Speaker 1: able to hit his head on the goal post. Yeah,

1072
00:59:56,840 --> 01:00:00,320
Speaker 1: and I will say that, Um, the couch quitter is

1073
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 1: probably one of my favorite groups of people. And um

1074
01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:06,040
Speaker 1: they they it was kind of a tale of two

1075
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:08,520
Speaker 1: halves for them. They spent a lot of time blaming

1076
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:11,280
Speaker 1: Chase Garber's for even being in that predicament and then

1077
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:15,680
Speaker 1: sort of apologizing, uh for going too hard on him

1078
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 1: when at the end of the game he finished with

1079
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 1: two thirty eight two touchdowns and he really kind of

1080
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 1: jumped started the offense of a thirteen yard run in

1081
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 1: the second quarter and that Judges woke cat up um.

1082
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:29,080
Speaker 1: The thing that I absolutely loved was that the true

1083
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:33,960
Speaker 1: freshman six ft five eighty pound Brett Johnson picked up

1084
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:37,120
Speaker 1: another dude who I covered in high school named Toront Thomas,

1085
01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:39,720
Speaker 1: a running back for U. C. Davis, and I mean

1086
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:43,440
Speaker 1: picked him up by his jersey and body slammed him.

1087
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:46,120
Speaker 1: And and I feel like Brett Johnson is one of

1088
01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:48,120
Speaker 1: the guys that at Rivals, who I work with, is

1089
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 1: one of the ratings that we we missed the most on.

1090
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 1: I have an email saved from last November to Adam Gourney,

1091
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 1: our regional recruiting director, and all it says is Brett

1092
01:00:58,040 --> 01:01:01,160
Speaker 1: Johnson might be the high is picked guy to come

1093
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:03,040
Speaker 1: out of the state of Arizona and the NFL Draft

1094
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:05,880
Speaker 1: in four years. And I'm just saving that because I

1095
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:07,480
Speaker 1: begged him and begged him and begged him to make

1096
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:09,360
Speaker 1: him a four star. And now Brett Johnson's out on

1097
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 1: the field for cal body slamming dudes in his very

1098
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:14,960
Speaker 1: first game. So sky's the limit for that guy. He

1099
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 1: could be the next Cameron Jordan. I'm looking out for

1100
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:18,760
Speaker 1: him to do cal Fum with the ball four times

1101
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:21,880
Speaker 1: though cal Fump with the ball or not, and that

1102
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:25,000
Speaker 1: is did like, no matter how good your defense is,

1103
01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:28,560
Speaker 1: that is a recipe for disaster. But the last pack

1104
01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:31,960
Speaker 1: twelve game that we have to go over is we

1105
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:35,720
Speaker 1: we weren't sure what to make of Washington States quarterback

1106
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:40,560
Speaker 1: Anthony Gordon. And again this is much the same situation.

1107
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:46,240
Speaker 1: Actually it's even less of a situation than it is

1108
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:51,280
Speaker 1: for Washington and Jacob Easton, where he had a phenomenal

1109
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:53,960
Speaker 1: day three hund somebody yards, four touchdowns, all of that

1110
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 1: super good stats where they were playing in eastern Washington.

1111
01:01:57,520 --> 01:02:00,800
Speaker 1: For Washington State, it's even worse. They were playing New

1112
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:04,880
Speaker 1: Mexico State, who was by far, by far out of

1113
01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:08,160
Speaker 1: a hundred and thirty teams in college football. They're somewhere

1114
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 1: in between like one two and one thirty or one

1115
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:14,600
Speaker 1: twenty five and one thirty. But Anthony Gordon came in

1116
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:18,440
Speaker 1: twenty nine for thirty five four and twenty nine yards

1117
01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:21,960
Speaker 1: and five touchdowns, and then good Road, who didn't win

1118
01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 1: the job, came in nine for eleven seventy six yards

1119
01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:28,680
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. Max Borgie went for ten carries, hundred

1120
01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 1: and twenty eight yards and a touched that dude, this

1121
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 1: was a free for all. This is a glorified scrimmage.

1122
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 1: I learned nothing about Washington State. I didn't even Honestly,

1123
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:41,840
Speaker 1: I didn't watch this game. After halftime, I was like,

1124
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:44,040
Speaker 1: I've seen all I need to see. I'll check and

1125
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:46,960
Speaker 1: see if anybody got got hurt because there's nothing that

1126
01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:50,480
Speaker 1: there's nothing to gain from this. Yeah, I mean, I've

1127
01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:52,800
Speaker 1: tortured myself with this game a little bit longer than

1128
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:55,040
Speaker 1: I should have, just because I was looking for looking

1129
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:56,920
Speaker 1: for high school kids who I had covered to you know,

1130
01:02:57,080 --> 01:02:58,800
Speaker 1: come in and get a cameo and get the ball

1131
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 1: thrown over their head by Washington State. Washington State's fourth

1132
01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:05,560
Speaker 1: ring string quarterbacks in Arizona guy too, And so I

1133
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:07,360
Speaker 1: was hoping that maybe he could get a chance to

1134
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:11,120
Speaker 1: come in and pad some stats. But I mean, Anthony

1135
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:15,000
Speaker 1: Gordon is officially Anthony Gordon Ramsey because he was cooking

1136
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:20,840
Speaker 1: and State of Washington Uh plant enthusiasts have to love

1137
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:24,240
Speaker 1: that he stopped right at four and twenty yards. That

1138
01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:29,560
Speaker 1: had to be. That was cute that. But I mean,

1139
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:31,520
Speaker 1: this is what you hope a pat twelve team will

1140
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:34,520
Speaker 1: do to a lesser opponent. This is the thing you

1141
01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:37,720
Speaker 1: want from them, and this is the thing that nobody

1142
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:40,840
Speaker 1: else outside of the state of Washington managed to do

1143
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:44,840
Speaker 1: this week, which is what made this week so freaking frustrating.

1144
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:48,480
Speaker 1: Whether it was Arizona State or USC or the teams

1145
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:51,600
Speaker 1: that managed to lose. Uh. You want to see somebody

1146
01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:54,520
Speaker 1: that come out and have worked all summer long and

1147
01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:57,360
Speaker 1: just be able to execute their game plan. And I

1148
01:03:57,440 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 1: guess we all have to know Anthony Gordon's name now,

1149
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:01,680
Speaker 1: because I mean that's as good of a game as

1150
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:05,120
Speaker 1: you can possibly have. Twenty nines or thirty five, five touchdowns,

1151
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 1: no interceptions, twelve yards in attempt like that. Those those

1152
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 1: numbers are absolute money. Usually the throw for four yards

1153
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:16,960
Speaker 1: at Washington State, you gotta have fifty attempts. He was

1154
01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:18,720
Speaker 1: he was pushing the ball down the field like he

1155
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:21,000
Speaker 1: he was. He was really impressive. And you're telling me

1156
01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:23,280
Speaker 1: he's been sitting behind all those other guys this whole

1157
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:27,480
Speaker 1: time and he didn't transfer. Yeah, that's a success story, right.

1158
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:30,480
Speaker 1: That's like Mike Bercaci and as you who sits until

1159
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 1: their fifth year just to get a chance to come

1160
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:35,760
Speaker 1: in and be a star exactly exactly. And I would

1161
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:40,360
Speaker 1: wish him well. I hope all things work out for him. Um,

1162

1171
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think that uh um, we

1172
01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:20,360
Speaker 1: had a better completion percentage than Dorian Thompson Robinson. That's

1173
01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:24,200
Speaker 1: all I know. Oh we we did forget something. We

1174
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:26,800
Speaker 1: did forget something that we have to put on wax

1175
01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:30,080
Speaker 1: just so it's there, and we will have a graphic

1176
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:33,240
Speaker 1: for it out on Twitter. All of this. Give us

1177
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:36,960
Speaker 1: your top twelve, your power ranking's your top twelve four

1178
01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:41,080
Speaker 1: week two. Heading into week two, Ralph, Okay, so um,

1179
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:44,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick with Oregon State at the bottom, even

1180
01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:46,920
Speaker 1: though I absolutely love their offense. To me, to be

1181
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:49,080
Speaker 1: in to be on my list, you have to be

1182
01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:51,960
Speaker 1: able to play defense. It doesn't matter how much you

1183
01:05:52,080 --> 01:05:55,000
Speaker 1: can score. So for me, right now at the bottom,

1184
01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:58,600
Speaker 1: I still have Oregon State. Um, I got U c

1185
01:05:58,800 --> 01:06:02,400
Speaker 1: l A still in number eleven. And maybe maybe maybe

1186
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:05,200
Speaker 1: you'll drop them down a little bit closer to where

1187
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:07,840
Speaker 1: where I have them, George, we'll see um. And then

1188
01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:11,840
Speaker 1: I got I got Arizona at number ten. Um. I

1189
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 1: did not like what I saw from Cal. I'm gonna

1190
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:16,560
Speaker 1: have to bump them down. No, I'm not gonna do that.

1191
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:20,560
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna Colorado. Colorado is gonna stay my number nine.

1192
01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:25,960
Speaker 1: And then I'll have Cal at number eight. Um, oh gosh.

1193
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:31,520
Speaker 1: From there, uh number seven, I'll have Arizona State. I

1194
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:33,520
Speaker 1: think they're just a little bit too young to do

1195
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:36,920
Speaker 1: um to do really anything that matters this season. But

1196
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:40,960
Speaker 1: we'll see USC at number six and and uh, you know,

1197
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:43,120
Speaker 1: I'm tilting toward dropping them even lower. We'll see how

1198
01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:48,200
Speaker 1: Keenan Slovia's plays next week. H. My number five is

1199
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:54,160
Speaker 1: going to have to be uh, shoot everybody, everybody. From

1200
01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:56,800
Speaker 1: that point, I will say Washington State, which is a

1201
01:06:56,880 --> 01:06:59,919
Speaker 1: bump up from where I originally had them. UM. Number

1202
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:03,120
Speaker 1: four for me is going to be Stanford, even though

1203
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:06,840
Speaker 1: I'm really really worried about the overall health of the team. Uh.

1204
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:10,320
Speaker 1: Number three is U taught, even though they could probably

1205
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:13,360
Speaker 1: be higher. At number two, I got Oregon and number

1206
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:15,960
Speaker 1: one Oregon even though they lost. And number one I

1207
01:07:16,040 --> 01:07:19,720
Speaker 1: got University Washington. Okay, okay, not a bad list. Uh.

1208
01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:24,920
Speaker 1: I have Oregon State number twelve, have Arizona number eleven,

1209
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:30,959
Speaker 1: U c l A number ten, Colorado number nine, CAL

1210
01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:33,520
Speaker 1: number eight because that was a terrible performance. I have

1211
01:07:33,560 --> 01:07:38,919
Speaker 1: Arizona State at seven, Washington State at oh I'm sorry,

1212
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 1: USC at six, Washington State at five. Actually, I'm flipping

1213
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:51,760
Speaker 1: it around because I must stay consistent about about about schedules,

1214
01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 1: because and Washington State had a much easier game with

1215
01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:59,040
Speaker 1: New Mexico State than USC had with Fresno State. So

1216
01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:02,760
Speaker 1: I'm going going USC five. I still got Utah four

1217
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:07,000
Speaker 1: at Stanford at three, Washington has two, and I still

1218
01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:10,320
Speaker 1: have the O N one Ducks at number one because

1219
