Straight up, m I 19 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 1: hear of the week College Kickers Bubba Baxa, Houston's kicker, 20 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: Jared Sackett Utsa Kickers for My money and amass pods money. 21 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,479 Speaker 1: That was the best game of the weekend. Yet Bubba 22 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: basa is thirty five yard field goal with twenty three 23 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: seconds left to give Houston the lead. Well Utsa moved 24 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 1: the ball down the field. Jared Sackett answered with a 25 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: thirty seven yard field goal with no time left to 26 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: force overtime. Both of them hit field goals in overtime 27 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: the force second ot. Obviously, Houston gets to win, but 28 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give a shout out to those two college kickers. 29 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: Also a little hat tipped John Hoyl and Wyoming's kicker 30 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: who going the game winning field go at the end 31 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: of regulation but then hitfield go was in overtime and 32 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: double overtime to give Wyoma to win. So shout out 33 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: to some college kickers. 34 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 2: I had to go off the beaten path here, mainly 35 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 2: because we've been beating up on this team the whole offseason. 36 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 2: I had to go with Arkansas States head coach Butch Jones. 37 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 2: They win fifty five to three over Grambling. Now, granted 38 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 2: they're the two hundred and thirty third ranked team out 39 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 2: of two hundred and sixty one when you can bind 40 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 2: all Division one, Grambling also had more turnover worthy plays 41 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 2: than they did completions, but The reason why he's my 42 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 2: hero is because Arkansas State is a team I want 43 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 2: to fade all season long, and what I needed for 44 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 2: them to do is put some huge wins on the 45 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 2: board early, you know, generate some of that fool's goal 46 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 2: so that when they go to Memphis and they go 47 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 2: to Old Dominion at the back half of this month, 48 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 2: I can absolutely load up against the red Wolves. Interesting 49 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 2: fact this comes from et Labs. No team in their 50 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 2: system dating back to two thousand and five has one 51 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 2: by fifty two points or more one week and then 52 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,519 Speaker 2: lost by fifty two points or more of the following week. 53 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,519 Speaker 2: Arkansas State traveling to Columbus forty five point underdog to 54 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 2: Ohio State, who all week is hearing is the offense broken? 55 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 2: Is CJ? Stroud a fraud? They are absolutely going to 56 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 2: unload on this red Wolves defense. I think they're gonna 57 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 2: be the first team to do it in the system. 58 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 2: So Butch Jones my G five heroo. Every time we 59 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 2: get ready to play, I just want to throw up. 60 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: I'm sick. 61 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 2: I'm wanting you guys play all right. We're gonna hop 62 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 2: in now to our best bets here for week two. 63 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 2: I'm gonna keep this short and sweet, because this is 64 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 2: a game that I had circled before the season even 65 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 2: kicked off, really, and it was Maryland's traveling to Charlotte. 66 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 2: Maryland's a team that likes to pour it on in 67 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 2: the non conference. He saw them do that last year. 68 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 2: They've beat Howard sixty two to nothing. They covered a 69 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 2: big number against Kent, scoring thirty seven points. Here they 70 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 2: are traveling to Club lit Lay in twenty seven and 71 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 2: a half. Underneath that key number of four touchdowns, Man, 72 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 2: the forty nine ers are an absolute free fall right now. 73 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 2: They played Fau and William and mary Als by thirty 74 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 2: and they Alas by seventeen. They gave up eighty four 75 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 2: points in those two games. That means that their total 76 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 2: defense is ranked one hundred and nineteenth in the country. 77 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 2: Given up just over five hundred and twenty per game 78 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 2: through the air, on the ground, tallied up just on 79 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 2: the ground alone two hundred and sixty yards per game, 80 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 2: allowed one hundred and twenty first, and this is a 81 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 2: Charlotte team that really has not been able to stop anybody. 82 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 2: Dating back to last season, they've allowed thirty eight points 83 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,119 Speaker 2: or more and seven of their last eight games dating 84 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 2: back to twenty twenty one. The only team in that 85 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 2: window was them holding Rice I think to twenty one 86 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 2: or twenty four points. Chris Reynolds is banged up, which 87 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 2: means that we could get James Foster again. Not a 88 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 2: good look for the forty nine ers. They both have 89 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 2: actually been pretty shaky early on in the season. I 90 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 2: know that Chris Reynolds has played in like fifty five 91 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 2: college football games, but with his upper body injury, we'll 92 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 2: go with the hockey reporting on that one. Whatever it is, 93 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,119 Speaker 2: he's just not the same guy. Meanwhile, Maryland's totally loaded 94 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 2: on offense, you know, if they put it together with 95 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 2: a quality run game as well. Defensively, they were all 96 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 2: over Buffalo. They had four sacks, seven tackles for loss. 97 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 2: They only gave up one play of twenty yards or 98 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 2: more and that's really kind of the key in a 99 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 2: spot like this lay in a huge number. I don't 100 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 2: want to see those explosive plays for Charlotte to be 101 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 2: able to hang around, maybe get a back door cover. 102 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 2: And finally, this is just a player that I've been 103 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 2: high on to Leah Tonguevailoa. This is his season to 104 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 2: try to prove that he's, you know, third fourth round 105 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 2: NFL draft pick. He's got to really run it up 106 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 2: in these games. He didn't have a touchdown in the opener. 107 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 2: I think he rectifies that here. Demus Jarrett Copeland, Corey 108 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 2: Diyke's at tight ends. He's got just a treasure trove 109 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 2: of skill position players. Think he's going to distribute the ball. 110 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 2: Think they're gonna score close to fifty in this one. 111 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 2: I like them laying the big number against the forty 112 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 2: nine ers crabs. 113 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: That's what Maryland does. Yeah. For my best bet, I'm 114 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 1: going back to Well, I'm going back to Georgia State. 115 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 1: They didn't cover last week, but this is I'm taking 116 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: Georgia State plus seven against North Carolina. This is a 117 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: combination of me overreacting in Week one and also making 118 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 1: sure I don't overreact week one. So for the overreaction, 119 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: North Carolina has the worst defense in the history of 120 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: college football. I mean, they are horrific. They allowed six 121 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: hundred and forty nine total yards to app State, who's 122 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: not exactly the most prolific offense, forty points in the 123 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Chase Brice, who we don't think is very 124 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: good through for three hundred and sixty one yards six touchdowns. Obviously, 125 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: you know he needs about three more yards for the win. 126 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: They rushed for two hundred and eighty eighty yards three touchdowns. 127 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: They averaged six point seven yards per carry. Twelve different 128 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 1: players caught a pass, six different a touchdown. And this 129 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: is an APT eight team that lost all of their 130 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 1: receivers from last year. On the flip side, I'm not 131 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 1: overreacting to Georgia State's loss. Yes, South Carolina won thirty 132 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: five to fourteen. Georgia State couldn't even cover two touchdowns, 133 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,239 Speaker 1: but they were leading this game in the third quarter. 134 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: I was watching this game. South Carolina blocked two punts 135 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: for touchdowns in the last quarter and a half. Georgia 136 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: State outgained them. They were the better team. They picked 137 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: off Ratler twice. They rushed for two hundred yards, they 138 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: averaged five yards per carry. They broke off two forty 139 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: plus yards against an SEC defense. And yes, Darren Granger 140 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: really struggled to pass the ball in this game. I 141 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: do expect him to be better. I expect him be 142 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: better than he was this week. This team was eighth 143 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: in the country last year against in running the ball, 144 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: and they bring back everyone, So they are going to 145 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 1: run the ball all over this North Carolina defense that 146 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: was pushed around by Florida A and M. You and 147 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: C escaped a dog fight on the road against the 148 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: Sun Belt team, and now you're gonna give me seven 149 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: points with another one. I'm taking Georgia State. I don't 150 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: think you and C can pull off that magic twice. 151 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: So give me the seven points with Drish I could 152 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: get at like eight and a half nine when it 153 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: first came out. It's already do a seven. I still 154 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,119 Speaker 1: like it, and seven or both is stuck. 155 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 2: And Colin Wilson also got into that Georgia State South 156 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 2: Carolina game. That's one of those that don't just look 157 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 2: at the score. You got to dig through the box score. 158 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 2: You got to look at total yardage, you know, the 159 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 2: expected win percentage, all of those kind of things. I 160 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 2: agree Georgia State played better than the score would indicate. 161 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 2: You're absolutely right about this North Carolina defense. It's a 162 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 2: non existent and Josh Downs may not play on the 163 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 2: perimeter for North Carolina. He's one of their matchup nightmare. 164 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 2: So a lots of like from a personnel standpoint, and 165 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 2: kind of the ex'es and o's being what they are. 166 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 2: There's nothing that North Carolina can do. Transfer portal is 167 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 2: now shut. They can't bring any dudes in the front 168 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 2: seven to try to slow down this running attack. So 169 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 2: I'm with you there. I think I'm going to pair 170 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,239 Speaker 2: that up with my best bet into a little parlay 171 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 2: of my own. All right, let's hop in to one 172 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 2: of our favorite portions of the G five podcast. That 173 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 2: would be our G five High five round robin. 174 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: The G five High fived me High five High five, 175 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: and this week you're doing the heavy lifting. 176 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 2: You have three of the five picks, so get it started. 177 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: All right. For my first play of the High five, 178 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: I'm putting the bias hat on. I don't usually do this. 179 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: I never play him, I never play against him. I 180 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: just avoid them like the plague. But give me the 181 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: Nindy Lions all lay the big number with Penn State 182 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: minus twenty five and a half. Look, we're not getting 183 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: into this year, but say what you will about Sean Clifford. 184 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,839 Speaker 1: He threw for three hundred eight g yards, had four 185 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: touchdowns last week, added another score on the ground against Purdue. 186 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: He was doing it her. He's battling cramps. Penn State 187 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: had five drops in the game. That's something that you 188 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,959 Speaker 1: don't expect to continue throughout the season. I'll tell you what, 189 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: our boy, Mitchell Tinsley looked pretty damn good in that offense. 190 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 1: He's got chemistry already, seven catches, eighty four yards in 191 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: a touchdown. He was he was Clifford's go to guy. 192 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: Parker Washington didn't even do much of that game. I 193 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: don't expect that to continue. He's gonna get going. Yeah, 194 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: Ohio got the win against FAU, which made me look stupid. 195 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 1: Obviously I was wrong about that one. The Kosti Perry 196 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: threw for three hundred and sixty four yards and five touchdowns. 197 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 1: Sean Clifford is much better than the Kosta Perry. I 198 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 1: don't care what you say about Clifford. He is much 199 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 1: better than the Coast Spirit. He ever was eight point 200 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: seven yards per ten and Ohio was able to throw 201 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: the ball all over FAU. But good luck doing that 202 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,319 Speaker 1: against his Penn State defense. Because Joey Porter Junior is 203 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,199 Speaker 1: an absolute dog. He's going to be a first round there. 204 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: He forced six incompletions last week, tied for the most 205 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,719 Speaker 1: in a game for cornerback since twenty fourteen, Him and 206 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: jay A Brown both dropped interceptions that probably would have 207 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: been six the other way. So even like as you know, 208 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: pensad Obtus won the game, they left a lot on 209 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,319 Speaker 1: that field. That game could have been more of a 210 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 1: blaw in Penn State's favor. This is Penn State home 211 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: opener again. Say what you want about James Franklin. Since 212 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,959 Speaker 1: he took over as coach, Penn State is six and 213 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: two against the spread against MAC teams at home. He's 214 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: not afraid to run it up. He's not afraid to 215 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: flex for that. You know, Happy Valley crowd. They've covered 216 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 1: four straight at home against MAC teams, outscoring them two 217 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: hundred and four to thirty six, with an average margin 218 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: victory of forty two. So when they play these mac 219 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: forty four to thirteen against Ball State, forty five thirteen 220 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: over Buffalo, sixty three to ten over Kent State, fifty 221 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: two to nothing over Acrid, they run it up. They're 222 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: going to run it up against Ohio. I'll lay the 223 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: twenty five and a half. I would play this to 224 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: twenty eight. I think they went probably by thirty five. 225 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 2: I'm glad that you didn't advocate for a first half 226 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,239 Speaker 2: play here, because I do think from a game planning standpoint, 227 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,839 Speaker 2: Penn State may try to establish the run. You know, 228 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 2: there's a lot of buzz in fall camp between Lee 229 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 2: and Singleton that they could they could really get it 230 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 2: going on the grounds, and that didn't necessarily materialize against Purdue. 231 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 2: So I do think maybe they have some more plotting 232 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,559 Speaker 2: drives in the first quarter against Ohio. But you know, 233 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 2: in terms of your full breakdown of the game, I agree, 234 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 2: I was not high on Ohio to start the season. 235 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 2: Of course, this is a G five podcast, so we're 236 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 2: not going to only pile on the MAC teams. I'm 237 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 2: going to go on back of MAC team here. Central 238 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 2: Michigan lay in five against South Alabama. They just went 239 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 2: into stillwater and scored forty four points, and that was 240 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 2: without a superhuman performance from Lou Nichols the thirty He 241 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 2: only had seventy two rushing yards. Daniel Richardson, the Raymond 242 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 2: Felton of college football, as you like to call him, 243 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 2: four hundred and twenty four yards through the air, four tds, 244 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 2: ninety point five QBR on the road against Oklahoma State 245 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,959 Speaker 2: team that by some power rankings they have him tenth 246 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 2: in the entire country. A really impressive performance, and for me, 247 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 2: I wanted to see what they could do beyond Lou Nichols. 248 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 2: And what they did was they took the ball State 249 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 2: transfer Jalen McGough and he comes in. He's a huge target. 250 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 2: I think he's six to four. He goes nuts in 251 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 2: that game, six receptions, one hundred and twenty six yards 252 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 2: to tds. That gives them all kinds of advantages in 253 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 2: the passing game because now you can't just double Dallas Dixon, 254 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 2: who coming into the season was really their own only 255 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 2: established playmaker, a wide receiver. Meanwhile, South Alabama, Yeah they 256 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 2: crushed Nichols, but you know Sagarin has them rate a 257 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy second nationally. So when you stack 258 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 2: that up against potentially a top ten Oklahoma State team, 259 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 2: you know, those those outcomes are not even close to 260 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 2: an apples to apples scenario. And additionally, South Alabama, even 261 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,959 Speaker 2: though they were feisty last year, they were feisty at home, 262 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 2: they were a bad road team. Last year. They went 263 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 2: one in five straight up on the road, losing their 264 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 2: last five, including bad road losses as big favorites to 265 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 2: Texas State and Louis Monroe. I just don't see it 266 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 2: in this spot. I understand that they were a very 267 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 2: good pass defense last year, but they're only sixty first 268 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 2: in defensive returning production. I think Central Michigan is going 269 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 2: to be able to score in the high thirties maybe 270 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 2: forties in this game. That's how hot they're rolling right 271 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,319 Speaker 2: out of the gate. So I'm gonna go ahead and 272 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 2: go chips here and give a little love to the Mac. 273 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: Serious macsh getta love it. I'm going to back another 274 00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: MAC school, another directional Michigan school, going to take Eastern Michigan. 275 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: You know, this is a team we were high on 276 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: early in the year. I think, do we both play 277 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 1: there over? I believe. But they're getting eleven at Louisiana, 278 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: another team I wasn't very high on. You know, it's 279 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: it's hard to know what to take from their first 280 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: week games for both these teams. Eastern Michigan won forty 281 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: two to thirty four against Eastern Kentucky. You know, Tayler 282 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: Powell I thought, did look good. You know, veteran, He's 283 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: twenty one to thirty two, seventy one yards, three touchdowns. Yeah, 284 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: the defense is still a problem. You know, giving up 285 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: thirty four to Eastern Kentucky is not the best. But 286 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: Louisiana on the flip side, managed just twenty four points 287 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: against Southeast Louisiana, and I didn't think their offense looked 288 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: good at all. 289 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 2: They could not run the ball. As someone who plays 290 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 2: college fantasy football, I had Chris Smith on my team. 291 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 2: I'm watching on you know, the ESPN plus stream. They 292 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 2: could not get any running lanes for him, and that 293 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 2: is their bread and butter. That's the kind of offense 294 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 2: that they want to run. It's not the exact same 295 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 2: offense that Billy Napier had there last year. But if 296 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 2: they can't run the ball cover in a big number, 297 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 2: I'm already enthused about this pick. 298 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. They averages three point five yards per carry again 299 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: against an FCS school. I didn't They played both Chandler 300 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: Fields and then Wooldridge. I don't know why neither of 301 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,719 Speaker 1: them looked really good. Field has been a three year 302 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: backup in this organization or you know program. If they're 303 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: not comfortable giving him the keys after three years in 304 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: this program, to me, that says a lot about Chandler Fields. 305 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: You know that the fact that they have to work in. 306 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: This other guy is like, they're not. They clearly don't 307 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: trust him. I didn't think he looked good, you know. Yeah, 308 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: I'm definitely nervous. If this am I gonna be surprised 309 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: to wake up and have the Louisiana put forty on 310 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: this defense. No, but I think Eastern Michigan's offense is 311 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: much better than this one. I just think they're I 312 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: think eleven's wigh too many points between two teams. I 313 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: don't really believe in Louisiana. They they had so much 314 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: turnover last year. You know, they lost their linebackers. And 315 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: that's the other thing too. Southeast Louisiana was actually able 316 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: to run the ball better than Louisiana was. I think 317 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: they averaged like four and a half yards per Carrie. 318 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: So I'll take the eleven points here with Eastern Michigan. 319 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: I really like the spy. I think that I think 320 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: this line should probably be closer to six six and 321 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: a half. 322 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 2: I completely agree with you. I was tempted to sprinkle 323 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 2: this in for our money line underdog play, but we 324 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 2: got a walk before we run, so we'll get to 325 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 2: that in a moment. I going to go ahead here 326 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 2: and playing over. It's actually at sixty three and a 327 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 2: half right now at bet MGM, So you're gonna want 328 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 2: to grab this because some other books have it as 329 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 2: high as sixty five and a half. Houston traveling to 330 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 2: Texas Tech. Listen when you watch week one, the quarterback 331 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 2: play between these two teams was off the charts. Clayton Soon, 332 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 2: you know, played incredible game, particularly down the stretch for Houston, 333 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 2: playing at a sneaky difficult venue, playing in the Alalmodome. 334 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 2: That place was a zoo, and he leads them in 335 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 2: multiple clutch situations twenty two two hundred and six yards 336 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 2: three TVs fifty one yards on the ground and a 337 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 2: touchdown as well. And then when I look at the 338 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 2: Houston defense, you know, we talked a lot about Doug 339 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 2: Belk and Sack Avenue. They got torched by UTSA. Frank 340 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 2: Harris goes, you know for three hundred and thirty seven 341 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 2: yards through the air, three tds, adds another sixty three 342 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 2: on the ground and a touchdown. So it's clear that 343 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 2: they can be got, you know, through the air. This 344 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 2: is really you had a nitpick a little bit looking 345 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 2: at their roster, you know, season overseason and saying you know, 346 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 2: they lose Marcus Jones, they lost some talent in that secondary, 347 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 2: but of course I'll just be able to replace it. 348 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 2: Apparently not. Meanwhile, Texas Tech, that was one of the 349 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 2: biggest coordinator shifts of the entire offseason. They bring in 350 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 2: Zach Kittley from Western Kentucky. Broke every record under the 351 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 2: sun throwing the football rounds. But the question was, you 352 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 2: know Schuck is coming from Morgan. He underwhelmed. There is 353 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 2: he the right guy? Well, he gets hurt in the opener, 354 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 2: and Donovan Smith, who started the last four games under 355 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 2: the previous regime last year for Texas Tech. He comes in, 356 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 2: goes fourteen for sixteen against Murray State two hundred and 357 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 2: twenty one yards for TDS. He looked incredibly comfortable. He 358 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 2: was moving around in the pocket. He's not quite a 359 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 2: true dual threat. He's more of a red zone rushing threat, 360 00:16:58,600 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 2: but he's someone who can move around in the pot 361 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 2: rollouts and still make some really nice throws. He flashed 362 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 2: a lot of that pocket presence. I think this is 363 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 2: a gift. At sixty three, my numbers call for it 364 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 2: to be seventy and a half, it's almost a full touchdown. 365 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 2: Worth of value. And I'll say this, Texas Tech likes 366 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 2: to play at a fast pace. They ended up I 367 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,239 Speaker 2: think it was twenty one and a half seconds per 368 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,919 Speaker 2: play in their opener against Murray State. If they can 369 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 2: speed Houston up. And this is a Houston team that 370 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 2: clearly could not run the ball without Alton mccaskell. It 371 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 2: was a player that I feared that they would miss 372 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 2: in a big way because he was their home run hitter. 373 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 2: In the run game, they just couldn't hit any of 374 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 2: those big plays. They couldn't move the chains on the ground, 375 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 2: so they essentially turned the game over to tune after 376 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 2: a zero zero first quarter. I don't think we'll see 377 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 2: those kind of growing pains in this second game. I 378 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 2: think both teams will come out hot. And I like 379 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 2: the over here. Any reason to think that the Houston 380 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 2: defense all of a sudden in one week, pieces it 381 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 2: together after really getting you know, kind of exposed a 382 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 2: little bit by the road Runners. 383 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely. I lefte liked this play. I know 384 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: in the AAC preview you brought up mccaskell being concern 385 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: and stucky didn't think it was that big a deal. 386 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 1: I think yesterday proved he is a big deal. Not 387 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: just the fact that they couldn't run the ball, but 388 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: I'm very concerned about how much they ran Clayton Tune. 389 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: Definitely concerned long term about his health in Houston's you 390 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: know future, as if if they're going to keep running 391 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: him that much. I'll say that. 392 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 2: I have a few more things to say about this game, 393 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 2: but I'll save it for money line underdog play. 394 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 1: Oh teaser teaser for my next our last play of 395 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: the G five high five. I'm doubling down again and 396 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: fade and Liberty one more time. I'm taking to UAB 397 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: minus six and a half. Look, Southern Miss didn't get 398 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: us that money line win. They were part of our 399 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 1: they were my dog last week. Although they did cover 400 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,199 Speaker 1: the three and a half, which I did bet, they 401 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 1: lost in four overtimes and they lost tai Keys again. 402 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: They went back to that Frank Gore wildcat and you 403 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: just once that happened, it was kind of over. You know, 404 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: he's got hit with the targeting call. I believe he's 405 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 1: questionable again this week, which kind of sucks. But again, 406 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: this game went to four overtimes and Southern Miss turned 407 00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: the ball over five times like they should have won 408 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:04,479 Speaker 1: this game. Granted, Liberty had three interceptions themselves, and they 409 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: also lost their quarterback. They lost Charlie Brewer, who now 410 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: is having hand surgery. But we didn't think he's that 411 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: good anyway. I assume he'll just pop up on some 412 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 1: other team next year and be back for his fifth, 413 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,919 Speaker 1: you know, fift team. They brought Jonathan Bennett, and at 414 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: first he threw two picks. He did not look good. 415 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,439 Speaker 1: Cayden Salter came in. I'll be honest, was impressed by him. 416 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: He did look good, former four star recruit. He is 417 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: freaky athletic, but he did not throw the ball well. 418 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: He threw a pick. He was super inaccurate, by the way, 419 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 1: Vintage G five. I actually missed the end of the 420 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: floor Hit Utah game because I flipped over to Southern 421 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 1: Miss Liberty. That was like standard definition being on ESPN Plus. 422 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 1: So I actually missed like what everyone else was watching, 423 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,880 Speaker 1: because I'm watching the Southern Missliberty. But that's the dedication 424 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 1: to the podcast. Before Frank Gore was forced in at 425 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: playing quarterback, he rushed for one hundred and seventy eight 426 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns against his defense. Southern Miss. I 427 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,640 Speaker 1: thought dominated the trenches in this game. They had seven 428 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: tackles for a loss. They held Liberty to just a 429 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: twenty nine percent success rate on offense, and on the 430 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: flip side, UAB absolutely thumped Alabama A and M. They 431 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 1: won fifty nine to nothing, just easyps. He threw for 432 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: two hundred and forty seven yards and two scores, ran 433 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: for two hundred and thirty one and four scores. And 434 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: they did this all without Dayne McBride, their bell cow back. 435 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: He was the last minute scratched due to illness. He'll 436 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 1: be back on Saturday. They also didn't have their best receiver, 437 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 1: who's expected to play this game. But the way Southern 438 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: miss was able to run the ball against Liberty, McBride, 439 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: if he's you know, feeling better in one hundred percent, 440 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: he should torch torch this Liberty defense. UAB was sixteenth 441 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: in the country in total defense last year. And like 442 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: I said, I don't believe in either of these quarterbacks. 443 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 1: I don't think, you know, Stalther can run the ball. 444 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: He can certainly, you know, move, but he did not 445 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: look that great throwing it. And this UAB team has 446 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: a nasty, nasty secondary. KeAndre Swoops Darling Thomas Graston cash 447 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: this they had. I think they had three picks in 448 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 1: their first game. This UAB team, I think is really 449 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 1: good and I didn't like Liberty going into the year, 450 00:20:58,320 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: and like I said, they should have lost this game, 451 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: just telling miss. So I'll take you AB minus six 452 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: and a half at Liberty. 453 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 2: I'm with you if McBride gets the green light and 454 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:09,719 Speaker 2: as a go here because he can be such an 455 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 2: offensive engine for them and it is really a nice 456 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 2: matchup against the Liberty run defense. So I'm just going 457 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 2: to wait to see, you know, when that news pops 458 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 2: the CFF site as well. They do it a nice 459 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:20,679 Speaker 2: job with, you know, updating on injuries. 460 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,120 Speaker 1: There are three yes. A Brian Vince said that Damcbride, 461 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: Cadan Telfer and Trade Shropshire all practice yesterday. They expected 462 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 1: to be back for Saturday's game at Liberty. 463 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 2: So that wraps up our G five high five round robin, 464 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 2: which means that we're nearing the end of our program 465 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 2: and this is the time to get in on our 466 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 2: underdog moneyline parlay. But before we get into that, a 467 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 2: reminder to our audience that you can track every one 468 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 2: of our picks in the Action app. You're just going 469 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 2: to go in and search bboc G five. That's going 470 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 2: to give you all that our deep dive picks, keeping 471 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 2: everybody accountable here on the podcast. All right, so we 472 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 2: got to pair up two money line underdogs. 473 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: Here turning good weekends into great weekends. It's time for 474 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: the money line parlay. 475 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 2: Let's start with yours ignello. 476 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 1: All right, you sitting down, breeze, you guys sitting down 477 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: listeners at home? Are you sitting down? I'm gonna do 478 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 1: the unspeaking on I feel like. 479 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 2: At this moment that's seen out of super Troopers. Can 480 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 2: you pull over? I'm already pulled over, sir. I'm already 481 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 2: sitting down in my chair, but I will sit down 482 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 2: again for this. 483 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: I'm about to do the unthinkable. Give me Northern Illinois. 484 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: Give me a the amount of times I've been wrong 485 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,239 Speaker 1: on this team. I might as well start profiting off them. 486 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: They beat Eastern Illinois, the Fighting Tony Romos thirty four 487 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,119 Speaker 1: to twenty seven in a game that, yes, they were 488 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: out gained, because of course they did. That's what n 489 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 1: IU does. They get out gained by one hundred yards 490 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: and a win. That's just who they are. And then 491 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: this Tulsa team lost to Wyoming in double overtime, and yeah, 492 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 1: they outgained the Cowboys by one hundred and twenty and 493 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: they gave a fumble returning to block pont Titi. So 494 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 1: it's easy to look at it and be like, Okay, 495 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: you know, Tulsa shit have won or the Illinois should 496 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: have lost. That's what both these teams do. Like, Northern 497 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,399 Speaker 1: Illinois gets out gained by two hundred yards and wins. 498 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,679 Speaker 1: The Huski scored a rush and toushdown with three different 499 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 1: backs Harrison Whaley, who we love to average six yards 500 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 1: per carry, though then Alloy returns a ton of production. 501 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: They have a ton of depth on defense. Tulsa is 502 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: super inexperienced. They're super thin on the offensive line. We 503 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: talked about how much the loss of Gillespie was gonna 504 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: affect this team. They gave up forty points and four 505 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 1: hundred yards to a Wyoming team that we both stink. 506 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: Northern Illinois should be able to create a ton of 507 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: havoc on defense, which is kind of the only thing 508 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: they're really good at, and they're gonna force Davis Brant 509 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,360 Speaker 1: into mistakes, which is what he does more than any 510 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: He had the most interceptions in college football last year. 511 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 1: Even on the wrong side of so many fluky games 512 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: where Northern Illinois wins, they have no business winning. So 513 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 1: I'm gonna start profiting off of it. Give me the 514 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,439 Speaker 1: Huskies plus one eighty, Tulsa's gonna outgain him by one 515 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty yards, Britin's gonna throw two picks, and 516 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: Northern Illinois gonna win by three. Lock it up. 517 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 2: I think that's that game flow is pretty realistic. I mean, essentially, 518 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 2: control the game on the grounds, and then I would 519 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 2: just say triple cover Kelon Stokes. He cannot let Kelon 520 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 2: Stokes get double digit receptions as he did last week. 521 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 2: He is their their main man through the air, so 522 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 2: you can game plan to try to take it, you know, 523 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 2: take him off the field. I think they get it done. 524 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,159 Speaker 2: I like that, so I'm gonna go a little more 525 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 2: conservative with my play. I teed it up before Houston 526 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 2: plus one twenty five traveling to Lubbock Dana Holgerson. Since 527 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 2: he showed up in Houston, he's five and three against 528 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 2: the spread as a road underdog, and he's won three 529 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 2: of those games outright. A lot of experience, obviously, dating 530 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 2: back to his West Virginia days. But really, for me, 531 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 2: this is a situation to fade Tim de Ruder. The media, 532 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 2: fans in general some view that view him as a 533 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 2: great hire. Other ones, like Colin Wilson here from the 534 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 2: Action Network likes to point out that he has a 535 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 2: lot of bend but don't break defenses on his resume, 536 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 2: And when you look at what he's done in year 537 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 2: one as a defensive coordinator, let's look at his last 538 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 2: two stops. He goes to Cal in year one in 539 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 2: Berkeley one hundred and thirteenth against the pass. Last season, 540 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,640 Speaker 2: he's up in Eugene with a lot of good athletes 541 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 2: and certainly a team that you would expect to be 542 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 2: better against the past eighty ninth. So this is a 543 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 2: Texas SEC defense that's a total renovation job. They were 544 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 2: one hundred and nineteenth last year against the pass. How 545 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 2: did they do in Week one against Murray State. Well, 546 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 2: they gave up five passing plays of twenty yards or more, 547 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 2: including two over fifty. And this is one of the 548 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,360 Speaker 2: worst FCS passing teams in the entire country last year. 549 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 2: So the fact that they still haven't been able to 550 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,639 Speaker 2: shore up that side of the ball, particularly in the secondary. 551 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 2: To me, is concerning against Clayton Tune, who is red 552 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 2: hot tank Dell Matthew Golden, one of the highest rated 553 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,120 Speaker 2: recruits in AAC history coming in playing for them as 554 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 2: a freshman. I think that he's going to light up 555 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 2: this secondary. It's going to be a high scoring game. 556 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 2: Give me the kubs. I actually think there should be 557 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 2: a pick. So the fact that you're getting plus money 558 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 2: on this at all, I think is a gift. And 559 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 2: once again plus one twenty five At BETMGM we. 560 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 1: Talked about how it's such bullshit. It makes me so 561 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 1: angry that Houston anders the season ranked twenty fourth in 562 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: the country. They go out there and beat the Conference 563 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: USA champs on the road and they drop a spot 564 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 1: in the eight people, what an absolute joke. Those voters are. 565 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: Bret McMurphy, you better have Houston up, You better race Houston. 566 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: Yours are. I'm going to have a word with you, sir, 567 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 1: because that's a joke. They go out and beat the 568 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: conference with Jake Champs on the road and they fall 569 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:23,640 Speaker 1: on the pall. That's crap. 570 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, G five on G five you know wins apparently 571 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 2: don't move the needle. Maybe this old Southwest Conference rivalry 572 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 2: will get the juices flow in for those AP voters. 573 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 2: I think Houston wins this by ten. I think Clayton 574 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 2: tune actually, if he could put up a huge game, 575 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 2: I think he starts to enter that fringe of the 576 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 2: Heisman conversation because he's somebody who they need him to 577 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 2: not only do it through the air, but also on 578 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 2: the ground, you know, throwing a four touchdown performance against 579 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 2: a power five defense, I know. I think crazier things 580 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 2: have happened. So that is all of our picks in 581 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 2: a nutshell. I will point out that if you put 582 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 2: together our play of Northern IOI and Houston, that play 583 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 2: that pays plus five thirty over at bet MGM for 584 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 2: the parlay. But I'm gonna go ahead and run through 585 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 2: all of our picks just so it's nice and tidy, 586 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,159 Speaker 2: all in one spot for our best bets. I like 587 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 2: Maryland lay in twenty seven and a half at Charlotte 588 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 2: Ainello is on Georgia State plus seven and a half 589 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,199 Speaker 2: against North Carolina for a G five high five. I'll 590 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 2: run through this quickly. Central Michigan laying five over sixty 591 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 2: three and a half between Houston and Texas Tech, Penn 592 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 2: State lay in twenty five and a half against Ohio 593 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 2: Eastern Michigan catching eleven and a half at Louisiana, and 594 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 2: UAB laying just south of a touchdown, six and a 595 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 2: half against Liberty, and then for underdog money line parlay 596 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 2: Houston plus one twenty five and Northern Illinois plus one 597 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,639 Speaker 2: point eighty. I know, any final thoughts here on a 598 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 2: week that you know we talked offline about this. It 599 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 2: was it was a difficult slate to go in and 600 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 2: mind some of those G five games, a lot of 601 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 2: those potential blowouts, huge numbers being laid as these teams 602 00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:58,879 Speaker 2: collect their paychecks. 603 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess said, I hope it goes better. Five 604 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: and eighteen against Bread against Power fives last week two, 605 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: straight up that one. By the way, old Dominion, don't 606 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,640 Speaker 1: turn your back on the wolf Pack, shout out Ricky 607 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: Ronnie in the voice, Wolf in the shotgun.
