18
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: to the solid verbo boys and girls. My name is

19
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: Ty Hildebrand, joining me as always over there in New

20
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: York City, a blustery New York City today.

21
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 2: Dan Rubinstein, sir, how are you?

22
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 3: I'm glad you said blustery, Tye. It's been a while

23
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 3: since we've been able to accurately use that adjective. And

24
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 3: this town, Tie, it rips the bones from your back.

25
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 3: It's a death trap. This town's a suicide rap. We

26
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 3: got to get out tie. While we're young tramps like us.

27
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,839
Speaker 3: Come on, Tye, baby, we were born to run. Listen,

28
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 3: I watched one organ game in which they dominate on

29
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 3: the ground. Now it's born to run one game.

30
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: You know, it's been a while since you did that. Yeah,

31
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: we've had people on Twitter talk about how they miss

32
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: you serenading me mm hmm with some unknown lyrics. So

33
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: I'm glad that I was able to pick that up up.

34
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: Ripping the bones from the back sort of gave away

35
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: that it. Hopefully we did it at a lyric and

36
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: not some sort of college football breaking news story. But

37
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: I was glad I was able to pick that one up.

38
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: A classic.

39
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 3: I imagine most young lads and lasses that are raised in

40
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 3: Eastern PA and New Jersey and New York like, that's

41
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 3: just a lullaby, yes for people growing up. So I

42
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 3: just I throw you a little Northeastern bone there.

43
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,359

Speaker 1: morning show. Unlike last Sunday where we had some technical woes,

Speaker 1: We're also available across all social media channels.

59
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: I don't need to name them all.

60
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: And if you're really a power user of the verbal,

61
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,399
Speaker 1: going out to the subreddit created by Verballers four Verballers

62
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: at reddit dot com slash r slash solid Verbal. I

63
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: believe I checked all the boxes there, Dan, is that correct?

64
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 3: You're nailing it, ty man. I'm just I'm standing here

65
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 3: in awe of the rhythm with which you are conducting yourself.

66
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 2: Well, thank you.

67
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: I appreciate that I should point out that I am

68
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: standing as well.

69
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 3: We're a stand in show, Tye.

70
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: We are a standing show. So we've got a bunch

71
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: to get through tonight. We did the Smilo Don Saturday

72
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: thing last week, and as we eluded, initially it was

73
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: saber Tooth Saturday, but then through the normal organic course

74
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: of play here it turned into smile of Don.

75
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,119
Speaker 2: I think this could be a thing that we just roll.

76
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: With now in the second half of the season, though,

77
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: I am having some difficulty coming up with an S

78
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: adjective or S modifier to describe this coming Saturday. Have

79
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: you given this any thought?

80
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 3: Are you on the S adjective page?

81
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: I am indeed on adjectives starting dot com slash with dash.

82
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 3: S the matchups. In my mind, if we can come

83
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 3: up with an S word that dictates that this was

84
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 3: a weekend before the season started, that you could look

85
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 3: at and say this, this weekend is gonna be something special.

86
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 3: Mm So maybe like supposedly special Saturday, but that it

87
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 3: really writes off the fact that it's college football and

88
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 3: it's a wonderful thing.

89
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you don't want to go with something like

90
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: sneaky because sneaky is just too obvious.

91
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 3: We have our we say sneaky too much.

92
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 2: We do we already do.

93
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: Let's go with something special Saturday Day as a working title,

94
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,559
Speaker 1: and then if the spirit moves us throughout the course

95
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: of recording today, maybe we can change it.

96
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 3: September Special, Oklahoma, TCU, Michigan, Michigan State.

97
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 2: What about what about saccharin Saturday?

98
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 4: Like?

99
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: It's sweet, but it's not as sweet as it could be.

100
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: It's not as sweet as Week seven.

101
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 3: See I thought, I think saccharin doesn't sacer mean overly sweet.

102
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: I mean saccarin also gives you cancer if you drink

103
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: a swimming pool of it.

104
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, what's going dark?

105
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 4: Right?

106
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 2: I don't know. I need to think more about this.

107
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 3: Let it happen organically.

108
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 2: We will.

109
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: Well, welcome back to the show again. I'm tying he's

110
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: Dan before we get into it. I just I wanted

111
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: to play this.

112
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 2: We do have broking news.

113
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 3: Oh wow, what's in that Lacroix you're drinking?

114
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 2: I know, I know what is this I'm reading about?

115
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 2: Nick Bosa?

116
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 3: So Nick Bosa, who it's a pretty tame argument to

117
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 3: say that he's the best defensive lineman or at least

118
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 3: best pass rusher, best edge rusher in the country, perhaps

119
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 3: because we do have dexter Lawrence Nett Oliver. But Nick Bosa,

120
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 3: who has been a star for Ohio State, struggled with

121
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 3: injury early on in the season. Before really cementing his

122
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 3: injury status against TCU, it looked to be minor. During

123
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 3: the game, he was sort of grabbing at his groin

124
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 3: area after a play and he said, oh, maybe he

125
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 3: got stepped on or just landed wrong or something like that.

126
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 3: Turns out this core injury. And there was an interview

127
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 3: with SI that his dad gave following the news that

128
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 3: he would be foregoing and withdrawing from the university to

129
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 3: rehabilitate and get ready for the draft. It turns out

130
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 3: it was a bilateral sports hernia surgery.

131
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: Okay, sounds that's multiple ladders right there.

132
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 3: It's multiple words. You don't want. Sports is the only

133
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 3: real positive word in there. So essentially he had extremely

134
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 3: complicated and sensitive surgery in a complicated, sensitive part of

135
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 3: his body and the ability to come back, and this

136
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 3: was something his dad said come back and do your job.

137
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 3: If you are a mechanic or a teacher or a

138
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 3: welder or something like that, perhaps is more doable than

139
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 3: it is when you are playing with torque on a

140
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 3: football field chasing down quarterbacks running four to four. So

141
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 3: his rehab was not going to have him back during

142
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 3: the season most likely anyway. So he just sort of

143
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 3: made it official to make it a clean situation that

144
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 3: he is going to be moving on. Loves Ohio State,

145
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 3: loves his coaches. I didn't really see that much pushback

146
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 3: like he was abandoning his team. Maybe there was, I

147
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 3: didn't really see it. I think it was pretty clear

148
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 3: that this was a physical issue that he was just

149
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 3: not going to be able to overcome this year. Yeah, well,

150
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 3: of course sucks because we get to watch less Nick Bosa.

151
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: We do, and plenty of hot takes out there. But

152
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: I think when you hear it fully described the whole

153
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: context of the situation, Yeah, you get it right. It's

154
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: this is someone with an NFL career. His team obviously

155
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: is very high up in the polls, and I saw

156
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: there were many comparisons being drawn out there.

157
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 2: I don't blame him for making this move.

158
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: It's unfortunate for Ohio State, unfortunate for us as college

159
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: football fans, and at some point will probably be notable

160
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: moving forward as we talk about the Buckeyes now some

161
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: of their matchups that lie ahead. But nonetheless I do

162
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: get it from Nick Bosa's perspective.

163
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think many people listening to this show

164
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 3: had probably heard quote core injury and thought to themselves, oh,

165
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 3: maybe he strained an AB or something like that, And

166
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 3: as soon as they either read it or heard us say,

167
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:52,719
Speaker 3: just now, bilateral sports hernia surgery, then they just said, oh, yeah,

168
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 3: I get it. Yeah, Okay, you do what you got

169
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,599
Speaker 3: to do Nick Bosa. There is no pushback from me,

170
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 3: So hope he heals up and and reaches his ceiling

171
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 3: as a football player and a human.

172
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: On that note, Dan, should we dive into our week

173
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: eight slate of games.

174
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 3: I think I think we should do that, though.

175
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: The Week one play on words we could go with.

176
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: By the way, no disrespect to Nick Bosa. The whole

177
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: time you were going through that little spiel, I.

178
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 3: Was a sports hernia Saturday. Okay, just make.

179
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: Sure I wasn't going to go there. Okay, but it's

180
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 1: a week slate eight week slate eight.

181
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 3: No, do you think it's a week slate though, Well.

182
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 2: It's weaker than last week.

183
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 3: What about Illinois State, North Dakota State tie, Sacred Heart

184
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 3: Central Connecticut.

185
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 2: Semi formal Saturday.

186
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 3: I like that, that is good. Semi formal Saturday. I

187
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 3: like that more of us.

188
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 2: A casual dress Saturday affair.

189
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd say that's fair because we have storylines that

190
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 3: are interesting. Can't that are not necessarily in the headline games?

191
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 3: Can Stanford bounce back? Is ole miss truly the cure

192
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 3: for the common offense against Auburn? Will Tennessee make it

193
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 3: interesting in that pseudo rivalry game hosting Alabama? You know,

194
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 3: Penn State bounce back ability perdue? Hosting Ohio State? Usc?

195
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 3: Can they exercis the demons? Is that ace Ventura that

196
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 3: very good in Salt Lake City? So I would say

197
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 3: semi foremost correct. It's not the the bashee over the

198
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 3: head weekend. But this is you have to wear a

199
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 3: blazer if you're really going to appreciate this weekend.

200
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: If you really want to do it correctly. I think

201
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: that's yeah. I think that's probably the way to fly.

202
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: So we've got a bunch of games here. Dan on

203
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: our sleep, and we're going to start at the very

204
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: top with Michigan and Michigan State. But you know, before

205
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: we do that, if we're if we're being honest about

206
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: this now, I'm just like not sure about what window

207
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: we want to target here, because as I see it,

208
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: Michigan Michigan State's that's a pretty big early game at

209
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: high noon on Saturday. That is at the same time

210
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: as Oklahoma TCU, which could be interesting. The three point

211
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: thirty slate of games is headlined by two in particular

212
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: that have double digit point spreads in North Carolina State

213
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 1: at Clemson and Colorado at Washington, both of which we'll

214
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: get into here in a little bit more detail. And

215
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: even as you look all throughout that three point thirty

216
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: area of Saturday, you're talking Alabama Tennessee another high point spread,

217
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: Penn State at Indiana another high point spread. I think

218
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: on the East coast, the time to target would be

219
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: like any time between three o'clock and let's say seven

220
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: o'clock if you need to go out, maybe take an

221
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: early dinner out with mister or missus, if you're trying

222
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: to get out and get on the town a little bit,

223
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: or if you've got some running around to do. Again,

224
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: this is a purely East Coast show. We don't cater

225
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: to the West Coast crowd, so I can't how dare you?

226
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: I guess it would be noon or no, two o'clock

227
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: maybe I don't know, sometime in the early afternoon for.

228
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 2: The West coast. Go out and do your worst. But

229
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 2: I'm thinking that's your window of opportunity here on we Gate.

230
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to be in California next week, and

231
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 3: I looked at the schedule to see if either USC

232
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 3: or UCLA was playing. We're playing at home, and apparently

233
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 3: USC is playing ASU at home. I was like, oh,

234
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 3: that might be you know what, No, it's nice out now.

235
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 3: I'm going to do stuff outside and then watch the

236
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 3: games that start at nine o'clock in the morning tide

237
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 3: the mid coast.

238
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 1: So there you go. On semi formal Saturday. Your window

239
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: of opportunity is probably mid to late afternoon. Be back,

240
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: hopefully in time for those seven eight o'clock games.

241
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 2: Got some take a.

242
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 3: Job, take a jog around the around the block, get

243
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 3: some fresh air after the nooners end at you know,

244
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 3: three thirty three forty, get your heart pumping, you pick

245
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 3: up something for dinner that you'll have later, you'll cook later,

246
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 3: that you're you'll just eat later. Take that window to say,

247
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 3: all right, first half of the three thirty games we'll

248
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 3: see and to State Clemson, I think is the headliner.

249
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 3: If you don't have any skin in the ACC game,

250
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 3: you know, take that window.

251
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: I might be running a five k Saturday morning. Haven't

252
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: decided yet.

253
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 3: What time are you targeting?

254
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm just targeting a finish dude. Come on, you

255
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 2: can serious.

256
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 3: Well, you beat twenty seven listen for a finish minute mile.

257
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: For as physically exhilarating as podcasting can be, I don't

258
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: feel like it has conditioned me for this five k run. Yeah,

259
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: your larynx is in tip top shape. My larynx is great.

260
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: But let's go to high Noon on Fox.

261
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 3: I want to talk about your running.

262
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 2: We could talk about that later.

263
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Michigan at Michigan State Points Bread here is seven.

264
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 2: Which feels a little low, a little bit low.

265
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: I'm going to ask you now the same question I

266
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: asked you it presented to you earlier today on our

267
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: super secret g Chat session. Yeah, are we talking about

268
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 1: a double deck or open faced letdown sandwich?

269
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 4: Sure?

270
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 3: Well that wasn't that cancel itself out? Aren't you just

271
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 3: doing no carbs?

272
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 4: Then?

273
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:14,839
Speaker 3: Aren't you just having me?

274
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 1: Does it does kind of cancel itself out?

275
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 2: It's more of a nothing burger.

276
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah? I would say so in terms of the

277
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 3: letdown ability, because ty, what do you do in a

278
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 3: rivalry game?

279
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 2: Danny gotta throw those records out.

280
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 3: You gotta throw them out, get rid of them, the

281
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 3: only thing you could do.

282
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: So Michigan last week had the huge, resounding home win

283
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: at night over Wisconsin. Michigan State a gigantic road win

284
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: in Happy Valley. I'm inclined to agree with you. This

285
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: is an in state rivalry. It's not as if we're

286
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: looking at a trap on either side of the equation here.

287
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 2: It would not surprise me, though, if both teams came

288
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 2: out a little flat.

289
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: I don't think either is in a letdown the pure

290
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: letdown spot where they're gonna be looking ahead this oponent.

291
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: But look a big win a week ago. I think

292
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: both teams come out flat here. It is a rivalry game.

293
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: Michigan State is won four of the last five. Something

294
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: else to keep in mind from my perspective, the game

295
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: within the game is Michigan's ground game against Michigan State's

296
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: rush defense. If Michigan rips off five six yards per carry,

297
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: this game's over.

298
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 2: It's over.

299
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: Michigan State needs to contain the run. They got to

300
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: force Shaye Patterson into that happy feet mode he goes

301
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: into sometimes in the pocket. I think they can do

302
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: that to some degree. And while I do think Michigan

303
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: is better, I don't think anyone's getting blown out here.

304
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: So I tend to air on the side of maybe

305
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: taking points at home.

306
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 2: What do you see here?

307
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 3: I tend to side with you. By the way, Ty,

308
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 3: there is no love lost between these two teams. That's

309
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 3: one of my all time favorite things. No love loss

310
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 3: between these two. Can Jim Harbaugh get the monkey off

311
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 3: his back? So I really don't like Michigan State's offense,

312
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 3: and some of that is out of their control. They

313
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 3: are pretty beat up in the receiving corps beyond Felton Davis,

314
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 3: their starters are pretty hid. The offensive line has been

315
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 3: inconsistent in terms of both health and performance, and they still,

316
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 3: for whatever reason, for what feels like the third or

317
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 3: fourth straight year, can't run the ball with any sort

318
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 3: of regularity. And you're right, won't be a letdown for

319
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 3: either of these teams. Michigan after a big demonstrative win

320
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 3: over Wisconsin and Michigan State sort of sneaking by in

321
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 3: an ugly but win over Penn States. And you're also right,

322
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 3: Michigan State did a really good job. Even though Miles

323
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 3: Sanders got a ton of yardage that the bulk of

324
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 3: which was on two runs and everything else was like

325
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 3: a two yard per carry performance from Miles Sanders. They

326
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 3: did a really nice job against Trace, Mcsorlely. So I

327
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 3: don't think this is an alley oop situation like we

328
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 3: saw from LSU last week, where the offense and defense

329
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 3: are sort of in concert, because this Michigan State offense

330
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 3: is they're just behind. They are a below average offense,

331
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 3: and that's generally enough to beat Michigan these past couple

332
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 3: of years. The weather won't be as bad as it

333
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 3: was last year. We talked in a little bit of

334
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 3: a monsoon game here there. I wouldn't sco as far

335
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 3: as monsoon, but I would say there is going to

336
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 3: be some perhaps windy rain. The elements perhaps once again

337
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 3: perhaps could come into play. Michigan looks like the clear, stronger,

338
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 3: more complete team. I think you're right about Karan Higden

339
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 3: and that Michigan rushing attack. There has been some scuttle

340
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 3: butt one of our all time favorite words about Tureek

341
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 3: Black potentially adding a big piece for Michigan's passing game

342
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 3: coming back from injury. We'll see. The thing that also

343
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 3: troubles me a little bit is Michigan away from the

344
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 3: big house in a very very small sample size ten

345
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 3: offensive points at Notre Dame first game of the season.

346
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 3: You can write off some of that. But then they

347
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 3: go to Northwestern and look completely flat for a good

348
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 3: chunk of that game on offense, and the defense did

349
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 3: a good job against the Cats. I think Michigan finally

350
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 3: gets over the hump and wins this game. But going

351
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 3: to East Lansing to play a good defense at home

352
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 3: as a dog, I'm going to take the points. Michigan

353
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 3: wins this game by five twenty two to seventeen.

354
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 2: Interesting.

355
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 1: Interesting, Yeah, I look, I think I agree with you.

356
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: I think it's a low scoring game one way or

357
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 1: the other, and I do think that the Michigan defense

358
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: is good enough to hold down Michigan State. Ultimately they

359
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: win the game on the road. My two bold predictions

360
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: if I could make them very quickly. I think we

361
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: see a weird score in this game. You know my

362
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: weird obsession with weird scores. And I think we see

363
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: a safety in this game. Okay, So with both things

364
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: in the equation, I say Michigan wins eighteen to thirteen

365
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: on the road, but Michigan State covers eighteen thirteen, is

366
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: my prediction here.

367
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 3: So both with the SPARTI cover Michigan out right.

368
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: We high noon, ABC, Oklahoma at TCU, These Sooners are

369
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: an eight point favored Dan.

370
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 3: They are.

371
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 2: Okay, I have spotted a disturbing trend.

372
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 3: You tell America you like TCU.

373
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 2: TCU says, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, that's small,

374
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 2: that's small, peace competing.

375
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 3: Okay, big trend.

376
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: I've become mildly obsessed with this trend. You know how,

377
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: I guess it was a week ago. You spent like

378
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes researching all that is and ever was at

379
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: NC State.

380
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 3: Oh, Ty, we don't have to. Everybody already knows that. Yeah,

381
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 3: you were just stating the obvious.

382
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, this has plagued me the way that NC

383
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: State plagued you, really, the way that the number twenty

384
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 1: three plagued Jim Carrey.

385
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 3: Didn't see it, heard it was bad.

386
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: Oklahoma has won the last four meetings in this series

387
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: by increasing margins. If you go all the way back

388
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: to twenty fifteen, they won by one point. The next year,

389
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: they won by six points. The next year they won

390
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: by eighteen points, the next year, last year, they won

391
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 1: by twenty four points.

392
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 3: Dan, I think we're looking at what does that mean?

393
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 2: I think we're looking.

394
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: At a good old fashioned factor of six game here, Dan,

395
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: factor of six.

396
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, the numbers are out there.

397
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 3: So what do you have them winning by thirty?

398
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 2: I have them winning. No, I don't have them winning

399
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 2: by thirty. That'll be a lot.

400
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: Okay, it could happen with a way that TCU played

401
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: against Texas Tech. Particularly, give me a number forty eight

402
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: to twenty four.

403
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 2: This is what I'm saying.

404
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 3: Twenty four they double them up Oklahoma. Certainly this is

405
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 3: game number one, coming off of buy of the rough

406
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 3: and McNeil defensive era. That's right for the Sooners hit

407
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 3: facing a TCU offense that has been so so bad.

408
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: They've been really time and also very turnover prone. They're

409
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 1: very turnover per Yeah, and mostly styming by Texas Tech.

410
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 3: Listen, I like Texas Tech, but let's not.

411
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: Pretend that TCU should be held to fourteen points against

412
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: the Red Raiders here.

413
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 3: Because it was Jet Duffy Texas Tech.

414
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: That's right, Jet Duffy Texas Tech, which is a different incarnation.

415
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 1: I understand, Yeah, but still Tech is ninety fifth in

416
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 1: the nation according to the SMP in terms of defense.

417
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: This is not a TCU offense that should be held

418
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: down to the tune of fourteen points. First game without

419
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: Mike Stoops. As you said, players play hard.

420
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 2: For Ruff and McNeil. That's been his mo.

421
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: They play hard for him now he's running the defense.

422
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: I think it has an immediate impact. I think the

423
00:21:55,200 --> 00:22:00,719
Speaker 1: bye week helps Oklahoma recalibrate things. So I'm thinking factor

424
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: of six to the tune of forty eight twenty four,

425
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: even though the game's.

426
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 2: On the road.

427
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you hit a lot of the good points.

428
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 3: TSU has just been playing sloppy. Sean Robinson I think

429
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 3: has thrown eight or nine picks already this season about

430
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 3: to pick a game. They're not forcing turnovers, not giving

431
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 3: themselves short fields. Not that turnovers are sort of an

432
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 3: explicit thing. There's a randomness to the way fumbles bounds,

433
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 3: to the way tip balls move through the air. But

434
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 3: TCU is just they're sloppy. There's no better way to

435
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 3: say that. Offensively, they're a step behind, They're not rushing

436
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 3: terribly consistently. They get stuffed at the line a good amount.

437
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 3: And one of the big things with Oklahoma, as you

438
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 3: know you saw Sooner fans reacting during the Texas game,

439
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 3: is their dbs. Their defense particularly struggled with those huge, athletic,

440
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 3: monstrous Texas receivers Litl Jordan Humphrey and Colin Johnson just

441
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 3: went up and over. TCU doesn't have those dudes. You

442
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,719
Speaker 3: look at the listings of you know, some talented receivers

443
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 3: Jalen Rager and who Antai Turpa whatever. You're talking five

444
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 3: to ten, five to eleven, five nine. So I don't

445
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 3: think if that is a specific weakness of Oklahoma's defense,

446
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 3: I don't think TCU is that team. The game is

447
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 3: in Fort Worth, so presumably the Frogs will be better

448
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 3: at home than they were in Lubbock. But I have

449
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 3: this as thirty three to twenty Oklahoma. I don't have

450
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 3: it as high scoring as you do. I think Oklahoma covers.

451
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,959
Speaker 1: We're three thirty ESPN NC State. We are at NC

452
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: State Podcast.

453
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 2: Now.

454
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, as we just mentioned at Clemson, the line here

455
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: sixteen and a half. This is an awful lot of

456
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 1: points for big game Dan it is and NC State

457
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 1: has quietly been very good this season. My issue is

458
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: that they haven't played anyone near the caliber of Clemson,

459
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: and I think that's what bothers me the most here.

460
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 3: I am with you in terms of the opponent level.

461
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 3: And even when they played BC they get out to

462
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 3: that nice lead, and they just didn't seem to have

463
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 3: that killer in state on either side of the ball.

464
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 2: You're right, and.

465
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 3: Against Clemson, not that anybody really outside of Alabama or

466
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 3: Ohio State or somebody like that can really emphatically have

467
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:13,360
Speaker 3: a killer instinct against this Clemson defense. It's worrisome because

468
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 3: NC State seems to be more about efficiency than aggression.

469
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 3: And that's fine because I think that'll make it tough

470
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,719
Speaker 3: for Clemson to beat them. And NC State has been

471
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 3: very good situationally, you know, forcing teams into uncomfortable third

472
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 3: downs and converting their own third downs with a crazy

473
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 3: amount of efficiency. I am worried that they haven't been

474
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 3: able to run the ball. They haven't taken shots downfield,

475
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 3: even in the way we saw with texts A and

476
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 3: M from Kellen mont too. I think it was Kendrick

477
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 3: Rodgers who was catching a lot of those balls downfield,

478
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 3: and I don't necessarily see that from this NC State team.

479
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 3: So they will force Clemson to beat them for four quarters.

480
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 3: That's me seems correct, So I have this as thirty

481
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 3: four to twenty three Clemson. I have NC State in

482
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 3: this game, you know, controlling the ball enough with longeist

483
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 3: drives to make Clemson play to play, not make mistakes.

484
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 3: But ultimately Clemson is just too talented and they're two, three,

485
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 3: four dimensional with the number of ways that they can

486
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 3: beat NC State at home. So I have this thirty

487
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 3: four to twenty three.

488
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: If you're looking for a leading indicator while watching this game,

489
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: we'll get NC State's passing offense. They've been mostly one

490
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: dimensional this year, correct, And you know they've tried to

491
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 1: run the ball. They're not very good at it, which

492
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 1: means a lot's fallen on Ryan Finley, who's been very

493
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: good in his own right, and his line has been

494
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: particularly good at keeping him upright, which is really going

495
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: to be a test this week against a outstanding maybe

496
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: the best defensive line in the country. If Ryan Finley

497
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: has enough time to pass here, I think that makes

498
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 1: all the difference. If he doesn't, obviously Clemson's not going

499
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: a pretty big legout from underneath that NC State offense.

500
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: My gut here is that NC State's a little too

501
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: unbalanced to win the game, and I think Clemson's got

502
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: a lot of success running the football here. But yeah,

503
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: this has been a one score game in the last

504
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: two seasons, So sixteen and a half to me, that's

505
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 1: too much. I think thirty one seventeen.

506
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, with when you have in a quarterback with that

507
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 3: kind of experience and experience playing at a high level,

508
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 3: that's tough. That's a tough number. But I get it

509
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 3: because when Clemson has momentum, there are two three teams

510
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 3: that can run with them, and NC State is not

511
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 3: one of them. All right.

512
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: Also, at three point thirty on Fox, we've got Colorado

513
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: at Washington. This line is fifteen and a half. Colorado

514
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 1: did not play well last week against usc and of

515
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: course Washington lost in overtime on the road to Oregon.

516
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: An interesting thing from Friend of the Show Bruce Feldman

517
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: out there on Twitter talking a little bit about the

518
00:26:54,280 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: body blow theory. Yeah, here is Bruce's tweet. He says,

519
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: Mario Christobaul is using the blueprint from his Bama days

520
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: to turn Oregon into badass physical program. My old body

521
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: blow theory seems to be in play. The Ducks FBS

522
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: opponents are winless in their next two games after facing Oregon.

523
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw. I think a listener may have tweeted

524
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 3: that at Bruce and he added it into his piece.

525
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 3: So a good fine from either Bruce and or one

526
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 3: of our listeners and his readers. It's it's probably more

527
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 3: about who Oregon's opponents have played because and who they

528
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 3: actually are because they played nobody in the non conference

529
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 3: part of their schedule. So it's Bowling Green, Portland State,

530
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 3: San Jose State, Stanford had Notre Dame, and you talk

531
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 3: to good teams and then Cal does not look good.

532
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 3: I mean, they didn't lose to a really good Arizona team.

533
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 3: But it's probably more of the context. We'll see how

534
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 3: it shapes out over the season.

535
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 2: Who do you got in this game.

536
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 3: In Colorado Washington? Laviscus Nault clearly all American caliber receiver

537
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 3: is a maybe he left the game against USC early

538
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 3: and was responsible for something like forty five percent of

539
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 3: their offense, and for good reason, because he is and

540
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 3: we talked about this in the offseason. Stole it from

541
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:27,239
Speaker 3: an NBA terminology thing. He's a gravitational player. When he

542
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 3: is on the field, you have to account for him.

543
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 3: Colorado's offense is fine, Colorado's defense is fine. They're a

544
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 3: pretty good team. But they're a pretty good team with

545
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 3: an excellent playmaker and if he is limited or if

546
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 3: he doesn't play, and Colorado, I think is also down

547
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 3: a starting defensive lineman who left that USC game. And

548
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 3: it's their second straight game on the road, after going

549
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 3: to LA now going to Seattle. I think Washington's just

550
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 3: too good to lose twice to Oregon. And I don't

551
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 3: have the numbers in front of me about Washington after

552
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 3: a loss last year. They lose to ASU and then

553
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 3: comfortably beat UCLA, and then they lose by a touchdown

554
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 3: to Stanford on the road, and then by three beat Utah.

555
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 3: So it's sort of inconclusive about recent bounce back ability

556
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 3: for Washington. But this is a better defense than what

557
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:19,719
Speaker 3: USC has, and USC's defense overwhelmed Colorado so I have

558
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 3: Colorado losing this game Washington taking at thirty seven to seventeen.

559
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, Washington's better. They're better than Colorado. I felt

560
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: this way, mind you, about nearly every Washington game because

561
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: it feels like they do play down in the competition.

562
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: And believe me, I say that lovingly. I don't want

563
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: to anger the free range Colorado mob that all of

564
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: us live in fear of. Of course, I think the

565
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: Buffs can put some pressure on Jake Browning. I think

566
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: they can force some mistakes. Sure, Ultimately, I think Washington

567
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: WANs on Miles Gaskin and they get the victory.

568
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 2: Who's put up?

569
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 3: I don't even know is Miles Gaskin playing in this game.

570
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 2: If he's not, then I didn't know about it. But

571
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 2: either way, I think Washington, Washington could run the ball,

572
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 2: and I think something like thirty one to twenty one.

573
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 3: Okay, he's expected to play. Sorry, Miles Gaskin and Salvon

574
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 3: Ahmed are expected to play against Colorado, so Gaskin didn't

575
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 3: play for a good chunk of that second half last week.

576
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 2: Thirty one to twenty one is my prediction.

577
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 3: Thirty one twenty one, so they don't cover it.

578
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 2: We do disagree, correct, we disagree, that's correct.

579
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would be worried about Colorado's inability to run

580
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 3: the ball. There's been times Trevon McMillan has been good,

581
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 3: but they've they've sort of taken a pretty big step

582
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 3: back on the ground.

583
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: Saturday at seven pm on ESPN, Mississippi State at LSU.

584
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 2: The line here is six and.

585
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: A half if you look at the advanced descinp metrics,

586
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: which we love on the show. Yeah, these teams are

587
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: virtually a dead heat. Both are in the top forty

588
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: five in terms of offensive efficiency. Both are like top

589
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: ten caliber defenses.

590
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 2: LSU way better.

591
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: On special teams in Mississippi State, and I think that's significant.

592
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: In some cases that could translate to points. Certainly, in

593
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: other cases it could just translate to something boring like

594
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: field position. And when you back a team up, it

595
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: ratchets up the pressure it can force mistakes. LSU as

596
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: it goes, is a top ten team in terms of

597
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: turnover margin this season, and even when it hasn't meant

598
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: turnovers for them, it has meant field position. They've been

599
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: on the winning side of the field position game all year,

600
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: which has not been very kind to Mississippi State. They're

601
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: near the bottom of the pack in terms of field position.

602
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: So I like Joe moorehead here. I like what he

603
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: brings to the table just as a football genius friend

604
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: of the Show, of course, formerly of Penn State. I

605
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: think he's going to have a game plan for LSU,

606
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: and I think LSU probably comes out a little flat

607
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: after the win last week against Georgia, but this is

608
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: the kind of game where they pull away late, either

609
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,239
Speaker 1: with some sort of special teams play or with some

610
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: sort of defensive play. I think it's low scoring. I

611
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: think it's twenty to thirteen. I think LSU covers at home,

612
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: but only barely.

613
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 3: It it is a letdown spot, and it is a

614
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 3: very bad team to get a letdown spot against. I

615
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 3: was super impressed with LSU. I think what they're able

616
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 3: to do and how they're able to do things is

617
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 3: particularly impressive because this is not a machine of an offense.

618
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 3: It's fine, it's timely, it gets the job done. LSU

619
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 3: is good, period, end of story, full stop. LSU's good.

620
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 3: They are at least a top twelve fourteen team, if

621
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 3: not better. But situationally, Mississippi State after a bye with

622
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 3: two weeks to prepare, and this is a very good

623
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 3: Mississippi State defense, particularly at preventing bigger chunk plays. They

624
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 3: run the ball especially well. They've been even better than

625
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 3: they were early on in the season, where they were

626
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,719
Speaker 3: just maddeningly inconsistent when they realize, oh, we shouldn't shouldn't

627
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 3: throw it. With Nick Fitzgerald, that's not his thing. We

628
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 3: all have our strengths in life. His is not necessarily

629
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 3: throwing the ball downfield consistently. I like Mississippi State here,

630
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 3: not just to keep it close, ty. I think they

631
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 3: win this game out right.

632
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 2: Wow.

633
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 3: I think it's twenty to seventeen Bulldogs and it's just

634
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 3: situationally a good spot for State.

635
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: I'm a little spooked by the fact that they scored

636
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: a combined thirteen points against Kentucky and Florida.

637
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 2: That's mine, as you should be. That's my main reservation.

638
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: And I realize Joe Moorehead's going to figure things out

639
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: as the season grows a little bit more mature here,

640
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: But man, I can't get past that for me. That's

641
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: that's sort of the stumbling block here. I do think

642
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: low scoring it would not surprise me. I would not

643
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: at all want to lock this one up or put

644
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: any real meat of confidence points on this because I'm

645
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: just not sure. But I think low scoring. I think

646
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: Lys wins at home and they probably cover the spread.

647
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 2: But only state a bit well they scored.

648
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 3: They got over twenty tie against Auburn, which, yeah, I

649
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 3: know it takes on a different context.

650
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 2: It does take on a different context, but for sure

651
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 2: fair enough. And then also late night this one at

652
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 2: seven thirty on Fox. A lot of games on Fox

653
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 2: this week.

654
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: We've got the Oregon Ducks, your Oregon Ducks on the

655
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:20,879
Speaker 1: road at Washington State.

656
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:22,720
Speaker 2: The point spread now up to three.

657
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: We actually we haven't set a peep about Wazoo all year,

658
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: but very quietly the Koogs are five and one. Their

659
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 1: only loss came a few weeks ago at USC.

660
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 2: This correct me.

661
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: If I'm wrong here. This game feels destined to be

662
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: a shootout. Fair or not fair? Oh, totally fair. I

663
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: think it goes over seventy points combined. I don't know

664
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 1: what the over under is. Maybe you can look that

665
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:54,439
Speaker 1: up momentarily, but again I'll stick with the theme from

666
00:34:54,640 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 1: Mississippi State LSU. There is a letdown factor. The weird,

667
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,919
Speaker 1: the more weird and more remote. The destination the sort

668
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: of stronger the home field advantage, and I believe Pullman

669
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,760
Speaker 1: is as far away from any interstate as any Power

670
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,399
Speaker 1: five school. Oregon is down their starting left tackle who

671
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: was a still is a sensational true freshman Pine Seol.

672
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 1: Game day is going to be there, huge environment. I

673
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: saw the get in price standing room only was like

674
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 1: three hundred bucks a ticket, which for Washington State.

675
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 2: That's a lot of that's a lot of money for

676
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 2: a WAZU.

677
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 3: G that's an enormous deal. That's an enormous deal anywhere,

678
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 3: but particularly for Washington State. This is this is going

679
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 3: to be an electric Martin Stadium. They had their coming

680
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 3: off of a BI week, so they've had a couple

681
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 3: of weeks prepared for this team. I don't love the

682
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,879
Speaker 3: Cougar run defense. You saw Jamar Jefferson for Oregon State

683
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 3: run all over them. So if Oregon's sort of play

684
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,240
Speaker 3: calling and identity is similar to what it was against Washington,

685
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 3: they should be in a pretty good spot. It'll be

686
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 3: easier for the Ducks to throw it against this Washington

687
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 3: State defense. But this is still a pretty good Cougar d.

688
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 3: They showed out pretty well against a Utah offense that's

689
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 3: been pretty quickly improving drop forty for the last couple

690
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 3: of weeks, I believe. And if Washington State is able

691
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 3: to and I imagine they will be, if they're able

692
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 3: to target and take advantage of Oregon defensive backs, linebackers,

693
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 3: whatever in coverage consistently enough, they should win this game.

694
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 3: I think our perception of Oregon is a little bit inflated.

695
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 3: Think about what you think about the Ducks. If Peyton

696
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 3: Henry's field goal went in a very makeable field goal

697
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, it's not an Oregon team

698
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 3: who has turned the corner and is among the Pac

699
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 3: twelve's best, But is an Oregon team with a moral

700
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 3: victory against both Stanford and Washington and nothing else. So

701
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 3: I think this is a break pumping situation for Oregon.

702
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 3: It's winnable. I think they're probably the more talented team,

703
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 3: and they have the best player on the field in

704
00:36:56,080 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 3: Justin Herbert. But again, situationally, it's just it's a tough ask.

705
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 3: I have wazoo here thirty eight, thirty three.

706
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is one of those deals where the last

707
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 1: team to have the ball is gonna end up winning.

708
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 1: The over under, by the way, is sixty seven and

709
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 1: a half at time of recording.

710
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 2: I think we go over. I agree with you.

711
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play the emotional angle here. I think Oregon's

712
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: really good, but I think that win over Washington, man,

713
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 1: it is tough to get fired up after that. Combine

714
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: that with what this game means for Wazoo with Game

715
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:33,240
Speaker 1: Day coming to town, I'm gonna go Wazoo at home,

716
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: a shootout, last one to have the ball. Forty five

717
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: to forty one. Probably a fun game to watch, a

718
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: lot of points, but a tough ask for Oregon to

719
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: now go on the road to a weird place. As

720
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: you said one week after that Washington victory forty five

721
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:51,919
Speaker 1: to forty one, I'm going Koop's yeah.

722
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:53,879
Speaker 3: This Washington State offense, by the way, because we didn't

723
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 3: really talk about it beyond targeting Oregon. They're good, they

724
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 3: are extremely efficient. They haven't played the best schedules, so

725
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 3: we don't know how truly good or great or pretty

726
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 3: good they are. But for Gardner Minshew, the grad transfer

727
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 3: from ECU to come in, you know, to lose a

728
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 3: couple of key offensive linemen, to lose a couple of big,

729
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 3: big deals on defense to lose a couple receivers and

730
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 3: to sort of pick up this offense and play with

731
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 3: the rhythm that they have. I think it's Dontavian Martin

732
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,760
Speaker 3: who's done a good job and Jamiir Calvin on the outside.

733
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 3: For them, it's it's been impressive and this will win

734
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,240
Speaker 3: or lose what We'll have an excellent sense of wazoo

735
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 3: and the rest of the year.

736
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 2: One other thing I wanted to mention Dan.

737
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: Thanks to two full years of research and development and

738
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: multiple improvements in design and performance and comfort, Bombas are

739
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: the most comfortable socks in the history of feet.

740
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 3: Wearing mine literally right now.

741
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 1: As am I as am I as I as I

742
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: stand to record and get the surge of adrenaline flowing

743
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 1: through my voice into the microphone. I am wearing my

744
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 1: Bomba socks. They've got an arch support system that provides

745
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: extra support where you need it most, and a cushioned

746
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: footbed that's reinforced for comfort without added bulkiness. Bombus I

747
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: feel like a big old hug around your foot. Not

748
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 1: to mention, they've got stay up technology. It ensures that

749
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: your socks stay in place without leaving a mark, and

750
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: of course, they've got super soft cotton material that makes

751
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 1: you never want to take them off, whether you're a runner,

752
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: a power walker, just power lounger. Sitting around on Saturday,

753
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 1: on semi formal Saturday, were your Bomba socks? It'll add

754
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: comfort to your life? And of course, Dan, if you

755
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 1: could give us your age old proverb here.

756
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you're only as comfortable as your feet are.

757
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 3: And I was over at friends of I guess they're

758
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,240
Speaker 3: friends of mine now but originally Jody with an eye

759
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 3: last weekend and it's one of those apartments you take

760
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 3: off your shoes, and I was there wearing my Bombas. Yeah,

761
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 3: and her friend David Spielman shout out. David Spielman said,

762
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,959
Speaker 3: those are sharp looking socks, look super comfortable. I said, listen,

763
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 3: you're only as comfortable as your feet are.

764
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 2: It's right.

765
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 3: He looked at my feet and he said, all right,

766
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 3: I'm in and he's getting some Bombas.

00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 1: you about a good friends over at Harry's. Daniel Harry's founders.

778
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 1: They knew that a great shave comes down to great

779
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: blades made with sharp, durable steel that lasts. That's why

780
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: they've got the highest quality blades in the world, priced

781
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 1: much lower than the leading brand. They'll even give you

782
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 1: a full refund if you don't love your shave.

783
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 2: As long as you let them know within thirty days.

784
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:56,879
Speaker 2: Seems like a pretty good deal.

785
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 1: They stand behind the quality they're blades, and they have

786
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: created just for us a thirteen dollars value trial set

Speaker 1: with the lubricating strip and trimmer blade, a rich lathering

790

Speaker 1: shave gel which is very underrated in the package of

791

Speaker 1: Okay, a bunch of other games that we're going to

806
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 1: get through here, let's go back in time DAN Thursday,

807
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 1: nine pm on ESPN, Stanford on the road at ASU.

808
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:18,240
Speaker 1: The Cardinal is a two and a half point favorite

809
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:19,479
Speaker 1: Arizona State.

810
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 4: Dan.

811
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: It it feels like they're good enough to win or

812
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: lose any game by like seven points.

813
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, that's that they're a competitive team with certain

814
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 3: strengths and very clear weaknesses.

815
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 1: I think Stanford may also fall into that category. I

816
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,320
Speaker 1: think that's right if for being fair at time of recording.

817
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 2: I'm still not sure if Bryce Love is playing, but

818
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,280
Speaker 2: I'm going to go with Stanford here and the better

819
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 2: defense to win on the road and cover.

820
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 3: Yeah. I never really love taking the road team in

821
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:53,240
Speaker 3: these Thursday night spots, but I don't anticipate a crazy

822
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 3: hostile atmosphere in Tempe. And both of these teams in

823
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:58,399
Speaker 3: the PAC twelve, to their credit, has done a better

824
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 3: job of the team's playing Thursday or Friday nights getting

825
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 3: a bye week before or after, but generally before, so

826
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 3: both of these teams coming off of a bye, so

827
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 3: no crazy short week situation for either of these teams.

828
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,919
Speaker 3: I like Stanford to have some success through the air.

829
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 3: ASU's pass defense has largely been disappointing at best, so

830
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 3: give me the Cardinal. I don't know that they're going

831
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 3: to be the same type of grower that they have

832
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 3: been in recent years, but I do I do think

833
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:26,720
Speaker 3: they show out in Tempe.

834
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 1: All right, Let's go to high Noon on ESPN on Saturday,

835
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:32,839
Speaker 1: Auburn at Ole.

836
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:33,240
Speaker 2: Miss.

837
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:38,359
Speaker 1: The line here is four wind opened, round two shot up.

838
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: This game means a lot for Gus Malson because folks

839
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 1: out there are already starting to talk about is thirty

840
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 1: eight million dollar buyout. Maybe it's more it's kind of

841
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: shrouded in mystique.

842
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 3: By the way, if Auburn gets rid of Gus Melson

843
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 3: and it's anywhere, it cost him anywhere north of twenty

844
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 3: million dollars, can not playing a single coach for getting

845
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 3: in line to go coach at Auburn, to get paid

846
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 3: to not coach, to do a perfectly adequate, if not

847
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 3: pretty impressive job at times and get fired and get

848
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 3: paid for it. So what a story?

849
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 2: Love it?

850
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 1: I feel like we've seen this play before where Gus

851
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 1: is on the hot seat and then he mounts to

852
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: charge and he just he has alligator blood. He can't

853
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:30,399
Speaker 1: kill him. And now we're coming off what a two

854
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: game losing streak going to Old Miss Ole Miss has

855
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: the offense, not so much defense.

856
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 2: But they're fun to watch.

857
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: Sure, I I am so tempted to go Old Miss

858
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 1: plus the points and outright here, but I am a

859
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 1: bit spooked by the fact that again this is like

860
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 1: history repeating itself from Alazon. I just it feels all

861
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 1: too familiar for him to be in this situation.

862
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, by the way, did you see the stories from

863
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:02,800
Speaker 3: the Auburn Tennessee game that like Jeremy Pruitt was calling

864
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:06,919
Speaker 3: Auburn's plays out loud on the sideline in the way

865
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 3: that these guys in the coaches special during the you know,

866
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 3: the National championship game or the semi final, Like I

867
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 3: remember Dan Mullen doing it. He was like, Oh yeah,

868
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 3: this is is his own left. Oh yeah, this is

869
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:22,880
Speaker 3: a is a hitch to the right. Apparently Auburn was

870
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 3: just they were tipping, I guess because and I don't

871
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,359
Speaker 3: know if it was a matter of because the formations

872
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 3: or because of the personnel groupings I saw. I think

873
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 3: it was Jordan Rodgers from the SEC Network former Bachelor,

874
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 3: I believe he mentioned something that when I don't know

875
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 3: it was Chandler Cox or whoever, some h back or

876
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 3: tight end was on the field, it was like ninety

877
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 3: one percent run. It was like it was Gus Malson,

878
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 3: Like even for Gus Maleson's standards, was more over the

879
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 3: top predictable than he's ever been. So I get the

880
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 3: frustration if a coach on the other sideline is seeing

881
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 3: everything as it happens, I don't know how unusual or

882
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 3: usual that is for really good defensive minds. But not

883
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 3: a great sign for Auburn's offense, especially during the same

884
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 3: week during which Gus Malsan had to say Nope, we're

885
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 3: sticking with Jared Stidham. Yeah, right, when you have to

886
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 3: come out and say that, I think Ole Miss is

887
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 3: the cure for the common offense. Auburn wins this game

888
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 3: by a couple touchdowns. They give up some points because

889
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 3: the offense does still have that propensity to stall. We

890
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 3: saw them even struggle with Arkansas to get going at times.

891
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,879
Speaker 3: So I have it thirty five to twenty Auburn here.

892
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 3: They do get going well enough against ole Miss on

893
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 3: the road.

894
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: It really is a question of whether or not you

895
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 1: truly believe that Auburn is broken, correct do you?

896
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 2: I do? Actually, okay, and I'm gonna.

897
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 3: Go spreads up to what four spread is?

898
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 4: Four?

899
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 2: I'm going Ole Miss out right?

900
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:50,360
Speaker 3: Wow, So like shoot out because it doesn't feel like

901
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 3: they're keeping anyone down.

902
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 2: I don't know oll Miss out right.

903
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 1: Auburn can't run the ball, and not that it takes

904
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:58,359
Speaker 1: much to run the ball against ole Miss.

905
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,479
Speaker 2: I understand that. I'm just saying, but they can't. They can't.

906
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 3: They're broken. Yeah, I think DK metcalf is the receiver

907
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 3: oute for the season. No for a for ale miss.

908
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 3: That's I mean, it's significant, but that really isn't the

909
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 3: issue at hand. It's not really going to be no

910
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 3: you know, ole missus offense. It's just a matter of

911
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,759
Speaker 3: if all miss wins, they need to make three stops

912
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 3: or something like that. They can. By the way, just

913
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 3: for me, this would be a weird one watch this game.

914
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 1: Just for the purposes of being accurate. Jordan Rogers was

915
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 1: not the batche where he was on The Bachelorette and

916
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 1: once season twelve of The Bachelorette, I believe still engaged

917
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:37,800
Speaker 1: to Jojo Fletcher.

918
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 3: Okay, was he good? Did you like him?

919
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 4: No?

920
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't. It doesn't see it.

921
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:42,760
Speaker 2: I didn't.

922
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe it was just an act for TV.

923
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe it wasn't.

924
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 1: Okay, Moving on three thirty on CBS Alabama at Tennessee.

925
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 2: You just talked about Jeremy Pruett.

926
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, line here twenty nine points.

927
00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 2: You feel in twenty nine points home dog, Jeremy Prewitt.

928
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 3: I mean it was it was a corner turned I

929
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 3: would say for Jared Quarantana.

930
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 2: You going home dog of the week.

931
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 3: Here I mean, listen, I think twas playing. Yeah, his

932
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 3: knee's fine, and you know, Jeremy prewittt is probably along

933
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:22,359
Speaker 3: with a couple of other SEC defensive coordinators. You mel

934
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 3: Renfro obviously is from that Alabama system, but incredibly familiar

935
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 3: with the architecture of this Alabama defense as their defensive

936
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 3: coordinator last year.

937
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:31,919
Speaker 2: That's right.

938
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 3: I just at a certain point, if TUA is in,

939
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 3: they're thirty points minimum better than everybody in the conference

940
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:51,439
Speaker 3: that at this point is in Georgia. So maybe Mississippi State,

941
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 3: I Tennessee falls under that that grouping. So I have

942
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 3: I have Bama fifty four to twenty three, maybe close

943
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:00,959
Speaker 3: ish at the half, maybe we get to second half. Toua,

944
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 3: I have that buy what's that thirty one?

945
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm look, if TUA is in for twenty minutes,

946
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,400
Speaker 1: that's good for three hundred yards and probably twenty eight points.

947
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 1: I don't like Tennessee's defense at all. I'm happy for

948
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: Jeremy Pruitt that they got the win, and you know

949
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:17,800
Speaker 1: that things seem to be going in a positive direction.

950
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 1: But this is a traditional rivalry here. Maybe some of

951
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 1: that emotion at home works in their favor, but I'm

952
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 1: going Bama minus anything. I don't even care. I don't

953
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:28,800
Speaker 1: even think twice about.

954
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 3: It at this point. Yeah, and we'll see what to

955
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 3: is me. I mean, everybody is sort of claiming that

956
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 3: it's fine. If you needed to come back against missoo,

957
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:36,959
Speaker 3: he would have. But it's, you know, it's a little

958
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 3: bit of a concern.

959
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 1: Three thirty ABC Penn State off their loss on the

960
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 1: road at Indiana points spread up to sixteen points in

961
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 1: favor of the Nitney Lions. Set it on Sunday. If

962
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,399
Speaker 1: Penn State comes out flat, Indiana could beat him here.

963
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 1: I only there's any question about that.

964
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:53,799
Speaker 4: Yeah.

965
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 1: The thing for Indiana though, is that they played Ohio

966
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 1: State and Iowa on back to back weeks and now

967
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 1: they got Penn State. So I wonder what kind of

968
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:03,880
Speaker 1: a toll. I think that takes a greater toll on

969
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:07,760
Speaker 1: Indiana than the Michigan State game does on Penn State.

970
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 1: I think Penn State was in for a root awakening.

971
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:14,279
Speaker 1: I think they were overdue for that root awakening. They

972
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 1: got it last week against Michigan State. I think they

973
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:18,959
Speaker 1: roll Indiana here even though the game's on the road.

974
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 3: Do you feel I think I feel similarly. But do

975
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 3: you is it in your mind that Penn State this

976
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 3: year like out of ten with you know, a ten

977
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:33,720
Speaker 3: out of ten being what they look like against Michigan

978
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 3: last year. What is their progress? What is your like

979
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 3: status report? Because the Penn State seems pretty good, but

980
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 3: defensively a full step or two back from where they've.

981
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 2: Been totally a couple of seasons. Totally.

982
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 1: And you also earlier on our secret g chat session

983
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 1: besmirched the good name of one tracement sorly. Now, I'm

984
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 1: never going to forgive you for that. I'm going to

985
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:57,560
Speaker 1: continue on with the show because I'm a constant forts team.

986
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:01,319
Speaker 3: Points against Michigan State. It's almost I'm gonna I'm not

987
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:04,359
Speaker 3: gonna let you forget that ever. But it's good.

988
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 2: No, they're a step back. They're not the same team

989
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 2: as they were a year ago.

990
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:12,920
Speaker 1: And perhaps it was a little too ambitious for some

991
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: of us. I mean, I'm not even including myself in this.

992
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 1: I was high on Penn State. They's still a nine

993
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:24,839
Speaker 1: to ten win team. But yeah, I'm just I think

994
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 1: this is kind of what we should have expected all

995
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 1: along from them.

996
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 2: But they roll Indiana here, I think they roll Indiana.

997
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:36,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, Indiana is they've They're actually built pretty well up front.

998
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 3: They did a good job against a couple teams against

999
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:41,480
Speaker 3: the run. Penn State, I think is a little bit

1000
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 3: more versatile than that. They are not a one dimensional

1001
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 3: offense when they are at not even their best, but

1002
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 3: when they're at a pretty good level. I think Penn

1003
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:51,239
Speaker 3: State wins this game by about twenty. This is not

1004
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 3: a runaway game. Maybe it's a back door. This game

1005
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 3: was a lot closer than the final score indicates type situation.

1006
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 3: Forty two to twenty is where I have this.

1007
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 2: All right, seven point thirty.

1008
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 1: Another big ten game on ABC, Ohio State at Purdue.

1009
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 1: The line here someone needs to explain this to me.

1010
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 1: It opened at twelve, now it's up to fourteen in

1011
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: favor of Ohio State. I believe this is because something

1012
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 1: we mentioned last week. The Ohio State defense does leave

1013
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:22,839
Speaker 1: a bit to be desired and Perdue right now they're

1014
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:26,799
Speaker 1: scoring points like crazy, per So I think we're looking

1015
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 1: at a game here where Perdue's able to throw, they're

1016
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 1: able to score. They're certainly at home, it's at night.

1017
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:36,959
Speaker 1: I would expect they'll be pretty amped up for this game.

1018
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:40,439
Speaker 1: I think Ohio State gets the late cover. I think

1019
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 1: I think maybe we're talking about like a front door

1020
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 1: cover situation, a late touchdown they end up covering the

1021
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:48,360
Speaker 1: point spread.

1022
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:52,440
Speaker 3: I always hope that when you play that sound, somebody

1023
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 3: is in a room with their dog. Oh they go

1024
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:58,799
Speaker 3: just goes nuts. I'm gonna say D.

1025
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:07,240
Speaker 1: Forty nine twenty eight a late ish cover Ohio State wins.

1026
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 3: I produce my Yako's Home Dog of the Week.

1027
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 2: The Yakos Home Dog of the Week.

1028
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:23,360
Speaker 3: I would be god that sound is so disturbing. I

1029
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:27,280
Speaker 3: would be remiss if I did not mention the Triple

1030
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 3: X burger that you can get in West Lafayette. Yeah,

1031
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 3: I have had it. There's a really gross one I

1032
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 3: think that gets that puts peanut butter on their burger.

1033
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:40,320
Speaker 3: I forget, Yeah, it's here we go. The Dwayne Purvis

1034
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:47,160
Speaker 3: All American is a quarter pound chop steak, thick, creamy

1035
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:50,400
Speaker 3: peanut butter American cheese, lettuce, tomato pickle on a toasty

1036
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:52,280
Speaker 3: sesame bun.

1037
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 2: So toasty peanut butter burger.

1038
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:59,279
Speaker 3: So I think Purdue ultimately in this game, matches up

1039
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:01,359
Speaker 3: pretty well. I don't love their defense, but I think

1040
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 3: they're gonna be able to generate some big plays. I

1041
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 3: like their passing game. I am drinking the rass, aid Tye, No,

1042
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 3: I am, so I'm going with Purdue here. There's a

1043
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 3: certain amount of struggle. Is too intense a word, but

1044
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 3: I am a little bit concerned about Ohio States, you know,

1045
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:21,319
Speaker 3: unable to run the ball in a rhythm befitting of

1046
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:24,239
Speaker 3: having JK. Dobbins and Mike Weber in their backfield. I

1047
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 3: love Dwayne Haskins, I love this receiving corps, but I

1048
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 3: think Purdue is able to possess it long enough to

1049
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:34,359
Speaker 3: keep it close. So once again thirty three twenty one,

1050
00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 3: Ohio State wins fairly comfortably, but Purdue, much like Minnesota

1051
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 3: last week, Indiana the week before that.

1052
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 2: Just hangs around, hangs around. Huh yeah. Okay.

1053
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:49,720
Speaker 1: And finally, before we get to some rapid fire games,

1054
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,239
Speaker 1: as we're running a little long in the tooth with

1055
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:57,440
Speaker 1: the show eight pm, pac twelve Network, USC at Utah.

1056
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:00,040
Speaker 1: The line here six and a half in favor of

1057
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 1: the Utes. Since Utah lost at Wazoo, they have been

1058
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:08,399
Speaker 1: outstanding on offense. So I'm not gonna elaborate too much

1059
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 1: more on this one. I think it's pretty straightforward you

1060
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:15,720
Speaker 1: combine that with their defense and the fact that USC

1061
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 1: has looked overwhelmed in spots this year against lesser defenses,

1062
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 1: I think that gives Utah a clear edge here. So

1063
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:25,239
Speaker 1: I like them at home to both win and cover.

1064
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 3: I'm a big believer in having two dimensions on offense

1065
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 3: going to a place a difficult place to play with

1066
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 3: a difficult defense on the other side. In USC, for

1067
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 3: whatever reason, I don't know if it's an offensive line thing.

1068
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's a running back comfort thing.

1069
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's a just general offensive comfort thing.

1070
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:46,320
Speaker 3: They're not running the ball anywhere near where they should

1071
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:48,279
Speaker 3: be given the talent on hand, and we saw that

1072
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 3: struggle against Colorado, we saw it against Texas. They are

1073
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 3: one of the worst running teams in the Pac twelve,

1074
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 3: which is still very strange for me to say. Luckily,

1075
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:58,399
Speaker 3: their defense is excellent. I think they're going to hold

1076
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 3: down Utah well enough. But I'm just not a believer

1077
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:06,040
Speaker 3: and going with one dimension there without potentially I think

1078
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:10,319
Speaker 3: their best defensive player with Port Augustin now I believe

1079
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 3: out for the year injured, and you know they've been

1080
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 3: beat up in other places. The defense obviously looked terrific

1081
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:17,600
Speaker 3: against Colorado, so maybe they won't miss him as much

1082
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:19,360
Speaker 3: as they would have a few weeks ago. I have

1083
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 3: Utah winning a close one at home. I think right

1084
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:24,719
Speaker 3: now there's just a little more to like about the

1085
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 3: Utes I have at thirty four to thirty one. All right,

1086
00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:30,879
Speaker 3: we disagree, So I guess USC is covering right favor

1087
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:31,880
Speaker 3: about a touchdown?

1088
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, USC would cover in that scenario.

1089
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I have you. I'm taking sc to cover.

1090
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 3: It's this game always feels very close and strange. So

1091
00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 3: give me the Trojans to cover. Utah sneaks away with it.

1092
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:45,400
Speaker 2: All right? Six games rapid fire here if we could.

1093
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: Yes, twelve pm ESPN U Cincinnati undefeated Cincinnati on the

1094
00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:55,880
Speaker 1: road at the Temple Owl pointspread here is four points.

1095
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to go Temple outright at home.

1096
00:56:58,120 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 2: Give me the Owl agree.

1097
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:03,400
Speaker 3: I'm call in in my pick for Jeff call In's

1098
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:07,279
Speaker 3: and the Temple Owls. Give me Temple. Cincinnati's defense has

1099
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 3: been really, really strong.

1100
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:13,760
Speaker 1: Three thirty ESPN two Wake Forest at Florida State. Florida

1101
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 1: State is a ten point favorite.

1102
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:16,120
Speaker 2: Tan who you got?

1103
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take fsu here at home. I don't think

1104
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 3: they're particularly good, but we know wake Forest's like bottom

1105
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:27,400
Speaker 3: bottom bottom seller, and it's probably still worse after seeing

1106
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:30,560
Speaker 3: what they look like against Clemson than Florida State. So

1107
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:32,760
Speaker 3: I think Florida State wins this one twenty seven to ten.

1108
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 4: We agree.

1109
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:38,640
Speaker 1: Moving on three thirty Big Ten Network Minnesota at Nebraska.

1110
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 1: Nebraska actually favored here, though not by as much as

1111
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:45,160
Speaker 1: originally when the line opened at five. It's down to

1112
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 1: three and a half. Dan. Does Scott Frost get his

1113
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 1: first win in a Nebraska coaching uniform?

1114
00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:55,200
Speaker 3: Much maligned Scott Frost? Can he get it done this

1115
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 3: week against p J Fleck al the goovers? Yes, I

1116
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 3: think Adrian Martin tas. I mean Minnesota's strength on defense

1117
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:05,440
Speaker 3: is probably upfront, getting both getting to the quarterback and

1118
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:08,439
Speaker 3: stopping ground games. We saw Carter Kaughlin do a great

1119
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:11,400
Speaker 3: job against Ohio State last week. I think Nebraska comes

1120
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 3: through at home, puts up a big day through the air,

1121
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:17,360
Speaker 3: and they hold on and get the win against Goldie

1122
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:17,800
Speaker 3: the Gopher.

1123
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:22,920
Speaker 1: We agree once more. Four PM SEC Network Memphis at Missouri.

1124
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:25,760
Speaker 1: This line up to nine and a half in favor

1125
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:30,240
Speaker 1: of the Tigers. The Missouri Tigers, Yes, you know, my drill.

1126
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 1: Take the points in a shootout, especially if it's over

1127
00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 1: a touchdown. I think a lot of points in this game.

1128
00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 1: I would expect a lot of passing yards on both

1129
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:40,960
Speaker 1: sides of this one. Don't know who wins. I'm assuming

1130
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:43,960
Speaker 1: Missouri probably wins, but nine and a half points is

1131
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 1: an awful lot. Give me Memphis plus the points.

1132
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:49,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, two teams coming off of I mean games against

1133
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 3: national champions from last year and you see f and Alabama. Yeah,

1134
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 3: I'm going to take the points as well, buddy, this

1135
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 3: game is going to have points.

1136
00:58:58,160 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 2: You know it? Okay?

1137
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 1: Seven thirty Network Vandy at Kentucky. Kentucky an eleven point favorite.

1138
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 1: I love Kentucky's defense. I'm unclear on the offense. I

1139
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 1: know that Vandy's got a little bit of a pluckiness

1140
00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:14,640
Speaker 1: pluckiness quotient to them, excuse me, So I'm gonna go

1141
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:17,080
Speaker 1: Vandy plus the points here, though I think Kentucky wins.

1142
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:20,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Kentucky comfortably wins this game. They they're

1143
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:22,800
Speaker 3: gonna be led by what they're always led, which is

1144
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 3: Benny Snell and the defense. So I'm gonna take Kentucky.

1145
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 3: Kentucky coming off of a bye.

1146
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 2: Correct Kentucky coming off a bye yes.

1147
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 3: Yes, so I think that adds up to a nice win. Yeah,

1148
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 3: they were off after their overtime lost sex A and

1149
00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 3: m so give me the Cats.

1150
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:41,040
Speaker 1: And finally ten thirty ESPN two, Arizona at Ucla.

1151
00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:44,560
Speaker 2: Ucla a seven point favorite.

1152
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 3: Here, Dan at home? Who you got, I'm gonna take

1153
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:49,480
Speaker 3: the Bruins. Arizona is not in a good place. You

1154
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:52,040
Speaker 3: know who Arizona starting quarterback now is with Khalil Tate

1155
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:57,920
Speaker 3: out injured. Rhett Rodriguez okay, son of Rich Rodriguez.

1156
00:59:58,000 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 2: That's a little awkward.

1157
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 3: I hope it's not awkward. I hope everybody gets along.

1158
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:04,440
Speaker 3: I hope everything's cool. He did come in in relief,

1159
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:08,320
Speaker 3: I believe against Utah, and you know, showed some some moxie.

1160
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:11,800
Speaker 3: But I think Ucla at home, God, you seel like

1161
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 3: suddenly favored. They win once they're like, oh yeah, we're

1162
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:17,840
Speaker 3: a touchdown better than somebody. Yeah, I'm gonna go to

1163
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 3: the Bruins here. I think they're coming together. And it's

1164
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 3: something we said before the season started. They're gonna be bad,

1165
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:25,320
Speaker 3: but by the end of the year you might see

1166
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:28,120
Speaker 3: some flashes. I think Arizona is a great flash school.

1167
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:30,280
Speaker 1: All right, before we go any further, my lock of

1168
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:36,760
Speaker 1: the week, Yes, luck of the Week. I've been taking

1169
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:38,680
Speaker 1: some time here to suss all this out. I'm gonna

1170
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:41,360
Speaker 1: go Oklahoma minus the points on the road at TCU.

1171
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 3: I'm gonna lock up Washington.

1172
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:46,360
Speaker 2: Luck of the week.

1173
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:53,480
Speaker 3: All right, Dan, Sorry, free range Colorado fans, I apologize,

1174
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:55,760
Speaker 3: by the way, Tay, Yeah, and this is this is

1175
01:00:55,800 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 3: not where you think I'm going. A couple more interesting games, Okay,

1176
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:06,200
Speaker 3: let's real quick. Virginia and Duke ACC Coastal on the line,

1177
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:10,280
Speaker 3: ACC coastal implications, Duke's favored by seven, that that division

1178
01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:15,200
Speaker 3: is wit open. Yeah, Navy's hosting Houston. I'm still a

1179
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 3: huge believer in Derrek King for Houston and the Cougars,

1180
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:21,120
Speaker 3: I do not believe Houston has scored fewer than forty

1181
01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:22,280
Speaker 3: points in a game this year.

1182
01:01:22,440 --> 01:01:24,080
Speaker 2: Amazing, bad, amazing, not bad.

1183
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 3: They're probably one of the best five scoring offenses in

1184
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:29,440
Speaker 3: the country. And finally, just in terms of FBS games

1185
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:32,040
Speaker 3: of interest, North Texas and they're kind of out of

1186
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:35,280
Speaker 3: nowhere at least to me. Incredible defense going to UAB.

1187
01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 3: Both these schools with only one loss in terms of

1188
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 3: really fun group of five action. This is this is

1189
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:44,160
Speaker 3: right at the top and finally quick favor.

1190
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 2: Tie yes anything?

1191
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:54,840
Speaker 3: Will you drop that big stanky, creamy contorting come hither

1192
01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:57,240
Speaker 3: drum and five?

1193
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:02,520
Speaker 2: That came off the swivel a little bit, Dan, just

1194
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:02,960
Speaker 2: a little bit.

1195
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:04,880
Speaker 3: I brought it. I brought it back. I started with

1196
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:06,120
Speaker 3: com I came back with hither.

1197
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:07,120
Speaker 2: It's okay, where are we going?

1198
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 3: It was all very victorian h Lafayette one and five,

1199
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 3: two losses, no wins in the pat League going to Bucknell,

1200
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:16,880
Speaker 3: who they themselves are one and six high. Do you

1201
01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 3: believe Lafay against the first Pat League victory?

1202
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:21,919
Speaker 1: I gotta go Lafayette here because you know, I never

1203
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:24,960
Speaker 1: go with the Nellies. But I'm struck by the fact

1204
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:29,640
Speaker 1: that there are two wins and eleven losses collectively between

1205
01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:35,280
Speaker 1: these two loser programs. Wow, no Patriot League, Dan, So

1206
01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:36,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Lafayette.

1207
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:37,480
Speaker 2: Someone's got to win.

1208
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:41,120
Speaker 3: Leopard up Bryant four and two. Going to Fordham here

1209
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 3: in the Bronx one and five. Fordham is Bryant once again?

1210
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:46,320
Speaker 3: Four and two? Are you going with the records here?

1211
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:49,560
Speaker 3: You think Fordham, who just slaughtered Lehigh last week. I

1212
01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:50,520
Speaker 3: gotta go bet Rhythm.

1213
01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 1: I gotta go Bear Bryant here for four and two

1214
01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:55,920
Speaker 1: on the road Fordham not quite what it's been.

1215
01:02:56,840 --> 01:03:01,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, Kobe Lee High one in five, going two.

1216
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:05,400
Speaker 3: Let's just assume the Hornet's nest that is multi sport field,

1217
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:08,240
Speaker 3: three and four, two and zero in the pat League, Ty,

1218
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:09,240
Speaker 3: who do you have?

1219
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:11,640
Speaker 2: I gotta go Georgetown here.

1220
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:14,160
Speaker 1: You don't just go down to multi sport field, Dan, Actually,

1221
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 1: I don't think it's called multi sports.

1222
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:19,480
Speaker 2: Doesn't matter, but we have not gotten confirmation on that.

1223
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:23,400
Speaker 1: And as we pointed out on Twitter many weeks ago,

1224
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 1: many moons ago, it's not gonna be something other than

1225
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:30,600
Speaker 1: multi sport field if we just flat out refuse to

1226
01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:33,320
Speaker 1: acknowledge it, that's exactly right for us. It's always multi

1227
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:35,920
Speaker 1: sport field. Just like the House of Pain will never die.

1228
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 1: So give me the Hoyas at home over.

1229
01:03:39,640 --> 01:03:43,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's nobody calls like where the Phoenix Suns play

1230
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:47,440
Speaker 3: it talking stick resorts. Nobody says, oh, you're going down

1231
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:50,840
Speaker 3: to the TSR tonight? Now, No, that's that just going

1232
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:54,440
Speaker 3: to the stadium, going to a multi sport field. Should

1233
01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:57,520
Speaker 3: mention no Coldgate this week no, you know we touchdowns

1234
01:03:57,520 --> 01:03:58,640
Speaker 3: Colgate is allowed this year.

1235
01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:00,880
Speaker 2: I do not wow.

1236
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:04,840
Speaker 1: Two touchdowns good Coldgate beat Alabama on the next.

1237
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 3: Show, Colgate. Colgate is six and zero the combined rest

1238
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:11,520
Speaker 3: of the PAT League. We're talking six other teams.

1239
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 2: We talked about this last week.

1240
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:16,320
Speaker 3: It's amazing, I know, but here's your check in Colgate

1241
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:19,520
Speaker 3: six wins, the entirety of the rest of the Pat

1242
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:20,840
Speaker 3: League eight wins.

1243
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:22,919
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

1244
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:25,520
Speaker 3: So yeah, Colgate's in control.

1245
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:29,200
Speaker 1: A very weird scheduling situation to only three games this

1246
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:31,720
Speaker 1: week involving PAT League teams. I believe in a conference

1247
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:33,400
Speaker 1: that has what seven teams total?

1248
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:37,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, seven teams total. Colgate Georgetown. That's if you're

1249
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:42,240
Speaker 3: circling anything. That's October twenty seven, so that'd be next

1250
01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:45,920
Speaker 3: weekend is basically your Pat League super Bowl. Short of

1251
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:48,919
Speaker 3: Lafy at Lehigh, which is not gonna be great.

1252
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:51,280
Speaker 1: We can only assume that our boy Ken Greeley will

1253
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:55,680
Speaker 1: be there. So a couple real quick things. Yeah, I've

1254
01:04:55,680 --> 01:04:58,360
Speaker 1: been trying to do this now. I was negligent in

1255
01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:05,600
Speaker 1: my duties here as the head hop fensive coordinator. I've

1256
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:08,000
Speaker 1: been doling out responsibility to people who call in here

1257
01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:11,360
Speaker 1: is one with a bit of a West Coast flavor

1258
01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:11,600
Speaker 1: to it.

1259
01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:14,040
Speaker 4: Have a listen, Hey guys, this is Nick, this week's

1260
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 4: hopfensive coordinator. There's no better way to celebrate game day

1261
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:20,040
Speaker 4: heading out to the blues in Washington State and Oregon

1262
01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:23,960
Speaker 4: without some quality Pacific Northwestern beer. This week's pick is

1263
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:28,000
Speaker 4: Bricksides wonder lest IPA. With the seasons changing, we should

1264
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:30,520
Speaker 4: start thinking about moving away from IPAs. But you know what,

1265
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 4: the heck, let's get one last ride in with Brandon

1266

1267
01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:39,280
Speaker 4: I do have to warn you you might have a

1268
01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:42,360
Speaker 4: little bit of trouble finding this outbeast because Pac twelve

1269
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:45,880
Speaker 4: football is just like Pac twelve beer, poorly distributed.

1270
01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:50,760
Speaker 1: That's a good line there, good close line by our

1271
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:55,320
Speaker 1: Week eight hopfensive coordinator. Again, you can call as call
