00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 2: but Week zero was fun, it was cool. We all

11
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 2: had a good time. But today, even though the games

12
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: weren't incredible, it still felt good. Wall to wall football

13
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 2: from noon eastern on. Jason Martin, My man, what is

14
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 2: going on?

15
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: So let me get this straight. So Fox Football Live.

16
00:00:55,240 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: So in our job description what we are to do

17
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: in order to perform our duties to the most responsible

18
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: we can talk as much freaking football as we can,

19
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: indulge in as much football as we can sure so

20
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: that we'll have the knowledge that the people come for

21
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: about the football that we got to obsess over all

22
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: day and for the last three days that I pretty

23
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: much covered that, right.

24
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 3: He did.

25
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: He did. That's pretty good. You know what, I think

26
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: I can get used to it. I think I can

27
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: make time for this every week.

28
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 2: It's great and it is It is a privilege. This

29
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 2: is a third year in a row that you and

30
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 2: I are coming on in this time slot recapping all

31
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: things college football that will eventually trickle into the NFL

32
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: when we have some NFL Saturdays, so we get football

33
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: on the Saturdays pretty much from now until the middle

34
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: of January. It is an incredible time. You know, I,

35
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: like you, am so privileged to do this for a

36
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 2: living and to do this with you, and so let's

37
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: jump right into it. And there is no other place

38
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: to start than in for we're Texas. You know where

39
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: we're gonna go Mayby. That is right, you know, probably

40
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 2: I guess by technicality. You know, there's been some other

41
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 2: games throughout the day that I guess would probably be

42
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 2: deemed bigger upsets, most recently Texas State beating Baylor. But

43
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 2: we got to start with the story of the day.

44
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 2: Dion Sanders, coach Prime Colorado. Last three four weeks, Jason,

45
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: we've really started ramping up our college football preview stuff.

46
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 3: And the one thing we've talked about.

47
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 2: We said, we don't know exactly what it's gonna look like,

48
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: but we are excited to see what the Colorado Buffaloes

49
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: bring to the field. Well, what they brought was a

50
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: lot of excitement and a win. Today. By now everybody

51
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: knows the story. But Colorado goes to play the reigning

52
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 2: national runners up TCU. They win forty five to forty two.

53
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 2: Shador Sanders Coach Prime's son five hundred yards passing in

54
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 2: game one, a school record passing freshman Dylan Edwards was

55
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 2: final dominal out of the backfield. He had four touchdowns

56
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 2: and I think the story out of that game is

57
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 2: probably Travis Hunter playing both ways one hundred and seventeen

58
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 2: yards passing an interception. I easily could have had another

59
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: touchdown or a touchdown or two on offense and another

60
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 2: interception on defense.

61
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 3: Jason, we were hoping for a show. We got a show.

62
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: Coach Prime, Colorado is one and oh today after beating TCU.

63
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I said that I was gonna be

64
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: riveted to this no matter what the record looked like.

65
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: And I didn't mean week one. I meant at the

66
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: end of the year, I was still going to be

67
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: paying attention to Colorado because it was just gonna be

68
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: can't miss. I didn't know what it was going to

69
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: look like, but I liked the hire when it happened.

70
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: And I didn't understand why Dion faced as much criticism

71
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: as he did for some of the things that he did.

72
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: I understand that he put himself out on the front,

73
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: and obviously that's going to lead to some controversy. But

74
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: he went to it awful team that had done nothing

75
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: in ages, and he basically went in there and said,

76
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,839
Speaker 1: hey man, these guys are just not good enough. You're

77
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: not good enough to be here. And I know that's

78
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: going to ruffle feathers, but that's just the way it

79
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: is sometimes, and I think more impressively than anything. I

80
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: don't know what we're gonna get from here, but I

81
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 1: know it's going to be a lot better than what

82
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: they've had there in a long time. It's going to

83
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: be interesting week after week seeing them as an opponent

84
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: on a good team schedule is going to now mean more.

85
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: And I went and I looked at Colorado's schedule Colorado,

86
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: based on the performance today, I think they only played

87
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: two teams that were preseason ranked higher than the one

88
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: they beat today because Oregon State is he is the

89
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: third ranked team in addition to Oregon and USC that

90
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: they play, and Oregon State entered the season ranked eighteen,

91
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: whereas TCU was seventeen. They went on the road to

92
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: TCU and beat that team by outscoring them and then

93
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: getting pretty much one defensive stop at the end of

94
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: the game that really critically had to happen to win

95
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: the ballgame, but they did it in such a spectacular fashion,

96
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: with the numbers that Sanders put up, with the skill

97
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: position guys showing out, and with Dion afterwards in the

98
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: press conference going full prime like this was as perfect

99
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: as it could have been, not just for Colorado, not

100
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: just for Dion Sanders, but for everybody that covers college football.

101
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: If these guys are good or compelling, and I think

102
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: we already had the answer to the second one. The

103
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: first one is still yet to be determined, but so far,

104
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: so good. That is going to be an incredible storyline

105
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: to watch.

106
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and let me say this is that you know, listen,

107
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 2: it's an incredible storyline. They were a twenty and a

108
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 2: half point favorite. But let's give credit where it's due

109
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 2: to not only coach prime Dion. I heard Martin and

110
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 2: VJ talking about this before we came on the idea

111
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: that frankly, his team looked better prepared, better coach today

112
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 2: than TCU. But also, let's give credit to some of

113
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 2: these players, because you know, I saw some of this

114
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: today of oh, you know, I mean, where does this

115
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: rank in the all time upsets? Like and I'm talking

116
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 2: about credible college football writers, and it's like, I don't

117
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 2: want to diminish what happened today. And to your point,

118
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 2: I don't want to diminish how much Colorado has overcome

119
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 2: just in getting to this point in flipping their roster.

120
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: But this is a team that does have real talent.

121
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 2: Now they don't have the across the board talent of

122
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 2: the top teams.

123
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 3: We get that.

124
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 2: No one is saying that, but Travis Hutter was the

125
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 2: number one high school player in America. Dylan Edwards is

126
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 2: a kid who had four touchdowns today flipped from Notre

127
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 2: to AIM. He's known Deon Sanders since he was a

128
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 2: little kid. Shador Sanders was offered by Alabama and Georgia

129
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 2: coming out of high school, but chose to play for

130
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,799
Speaker 2: his father, first at Jackson State and now at Colorado,

131
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 2: and so I don't think we have to put a

132
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 2: cap on, you know, and we have three hours to

133
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 2: break this all down, Jason of what is the ceiling,

134
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 2: what's the win lost record going to be? But this

135
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 2: was not a fluke, This was not everything. But let's

136
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 2: make this clear. Everything went right for Colorado, everything went

137
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 2: wrong for TCU. That wasn't the case at all. Like,

138
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 2: if you watch this game, TCU the team that played

139
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 2: for a national championship last year, and admittedly they lost

140
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: a lot, TCU did not look like the overwhelmingly more

141
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 2: talented team, and Colorado had a bunch of trick plays,

142
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 2: a bunch of this, a bunch of that.

143
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 3: Colorado's got players.

144
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 2: Again, I don't even know where I want to go

145
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 2: with this necessarily, but I just want to get that

146
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 2: out there. Is I think, you know, people were somewhere

147
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: more surprised than others. But people are treating this like

148
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 2: it's an all time upset, and it's like, no coach

149
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: Prime won a lot at Jackson State. He knows what

150
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 2: he's doing. This isn't a fly by night thing. And

151
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 2: some of the guys that he brought with him are really, really,

152
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 2: really good, and it was really cool for Shador Sanders,

153
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 2: a guy like Travis Hunter, etc.

154
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 3: To have the stage that they did today.

155
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's absolutely right. I think that's well said.

156
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: I don't like I think the most this is the

157
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: biggest compliment I can pay d On at this stage.

158
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: I wasn't blown away by the fact that they won

159
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: the game because he's proven himself. I know it's at

160
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: a smaller level, but you talk about the talent that

161
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: he brought in, and of course TCU had lost a

162
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: lot as you mentioned, including QB one and their top

163
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: wide receiver. This was this was an indication that this

164
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: is a team on the rise. And we talked about

165
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: this last week because of ANIO, because of the transfer portal,

166
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: because of the way college football has changed. You don't

167
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: have to wait four years to get your guys in

168
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: the door to turn the corner. If you're a good

169
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: coach that can bring people to the dance, like Lincoln

170
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: Riley last year at USC and getting Addison and getting

171
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: all these guys to come out there, and of course

172
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: getting Caleb Williams on top of it, and now you've

173
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: got Deon Sanders doing it. If you have a coach

174
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: like that, you can flip and turn this thing around

175
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: very very quickly. Now that works in your favor if

176
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: you're that guy. If you're the opposite, you get a

177
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: shorter leash because you're no longer going to get the

178
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: grace period that you used to get in college football

179
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: because it has become different to acquire talent and to

180
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: build a proper roster. But what we know is Deono's football.

181
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 1: Deon's a smart guy. Yes, he's outspoken, and as such,

182
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: there are going to be some people that are rooting

183
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: for him to fail. And by the way, some people

184
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: in our industry that I am sure are rooting for

185
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: Deon Sanders to fail and are covering every negative thing

186
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 1: that they can find about Deon Sanders along the way.

187
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: But if Deon Sanders wins big at Colorado, it's not

188
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: going to shock me, but it is going to go

189
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: down as one of the real turning points in college football.

190
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: That's the difference. It's not that it was an upset today.

191
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: It was just a signification of kind of the sea

192
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 1: change in college football and what has changed in terms

193
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: of roster building and a time frame with which to

194
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: become a contender. If that makes sense.

195
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 3: No, it doesn't.

196
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 2: And I was actually gonna ask you that is that

197
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 2: I just went, you know, I just went through some

198
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 2: of the you know, resumes, if you will, of some

199
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 2: of the star players from today. And I was thinking

200
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 2: about this now. Now, I'm not gonna sit here and

201
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 2: pretend I did not pick TCU to win, although I

202
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 2: did pick Colorado to cover. I thought it would be

203
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: competitive and I thought they could win. And I'm not

204
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 2: gonna sit here and lie and say, oh, I saw

205
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 2: I said Colorado is going nine to three this year,

206
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 2: and who knows. But my question is, Jason, is I

207
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 2: was thinking about this. Why why were people so convinced

208
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 2: that this wasn't gonna work? Because it's exactly what you

209
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 2: just said, is that you go back to TCU last year,

210
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 2: first year head coach played for a national championship. USC

211
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 2: last year eleven wins in the regular season, first year

212
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 2: head coach played for a PAC twelve title. LSU Brian

213
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 2: Kelly played for an SEC title. And I was thinking

214
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 2: about this is again, and I am not going to

215
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 2: sit here and pretend that I thought Deon Sanders was

216
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 2: Deon Sanders in Colorado were gonna win every game, or

217
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 2: even that they were gonna win this game. But I

218
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 2: guess I was surprised in the lead up to the

219
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 2: season by the people that were so adamant, like, well,

220
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 2: I mean this it's gonna be just a three four

221
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 2: year thing. I mean, you can't. You can't bring in

222
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 2: this many new guys and have success. And it's like,

223
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 2: I get football as a team sport and continuity helps

224
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 2: and all that.

225
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 3: But One, to the point that you brought up.

226
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 2: At the beginning, this was by far the worst Power

227
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 2: five team in college football last year, so you had

228
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 2: to bring in new bodies to be competitive. But two,

229
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 2: it's not as though we didn't see last year. Literally,

230
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 2: I just gave three examples, and there are plenty more

231
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 2: of teams that were able to make a significant.

232
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 3: Jump in one offseason.

233
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 2: So I was thinking about that today, and maybe there's

234
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 2: no perfect answer, Jason, but it did strike me of

235
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 2: why why were so many people so adamant that this

236
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 2: couldn't work, you know what I mean?

237
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, And again, I think it's because of the polarizing

238
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 1: nature of Dion Sanders, And I do think that there

239
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: are still quite a few folks that want their old

240
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 1: college football and want to believe that they still understand

241
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: the sport. The sport has changed. You have to evolve

242
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: in the way that you think about this sport now,

243
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: as you observe it, as you predict it, as you

244
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 1: look at it, as you value rank it. It's different.

245
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: Everything has changed and we've seen it. I mean, look

246
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: Tennessee last year brings in hypo and look at what

247
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: they've done. And now you're seeing this at Colorado. This

248
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: is going to continue. That's why if Matt Ruhle struggles

249
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: for a couple of years in Nebraska, look out, it

250
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 1: ain't gonna take long about kill. Napier may not survive.

251
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I think we'll be talking about that later.

252
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:49,839
Speaker 1: But I think that I do think there's a polarizing

253
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: presence in Dion, and there's some people that just he

254
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 1: rubs them the wrong way and whatever. But I also

255
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: think that maybe they believe that this wouldn't work from

256
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: the beginning, so they want to try and just continually

257
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: find fault in it to pump up their original prediction.

258
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: I think at some points you just have to evolve

259
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: that position, or you have to look at what's happening

260
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: in front of you and say, hey, this could work,

261
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 1: could have win a National Championship. Nobody's saying that. All

262
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: we're saying is that team today look better than a

263
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: Colorado team has probably looked in a football game in

264
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: half a decade or more in one game, and regardless

265
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: of the opponent, regardless of whether you want to consider

266
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: it a massive upset or not, the one thing that

267
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: you must agree to. I don't even think this is subjective,

268
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: is that Colorado has already made progress as a program

269
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: with the decision to bring in Dion and pretty much

270
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: allow him to do what he came there to do.

271
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 1: They haven't micro managed him to death. They've let him

272
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: come in there and be Dion Sanders. And now we

273
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: get to see what that looks like. And after one week,

274
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: it looks pretty dagone good.

275
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 2: Tell you what, Jason, there are two more angles on

276
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 2: this game. I want to get to, and we also

277
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 2: got to get to a lot more college football. Busy, busy,

278
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,880

287
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 2: I want to hit on two other angles on this game,

288
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 2: including what I believe was one of the best individual

289
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,600

290
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,040

Speaker 2: Welcome back, everybody, Fox Sports Saturday, Fox Football Live. Eric Torres,

296
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 2: Jason Martin, jaymart you know, I'm not much of a

297
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 2: music guy, but awful news late last night. I mean

298
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 2: it's not awful. Jimmy Buffett, you know, lived a full

299
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 2: life into his seventies, but obviously Jimmy Buffett passed away

300
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 2: late last night. Before we get back to football, You're

301
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 2: much more of a music, pop culture guy than I am.

302
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 2: Jimmy Buffett, Man, he just you know, I just think

303
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 2: about guys that brought so many smiles to so many

304
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 2: people through their music and their words. Jimmy Buffett passed

305
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 2: away late last night. I know everybody knows by now,

306
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 2: but I will be playing some Jimmy Buffett throughout the show, Jason,

307
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: just in honor of him in his career.

308
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, especially my time when I was coming

309
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: through high school in the late nineties, I went and

310
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: saw Jimmy Buffett with my crew, a big group of friends,

311
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: probably right after I graduated high school. I'd never called

312
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: myself a parro heead, but there was definitely a phase

313
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: there where I listened to a good bit of Jimmy

314
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: Buffett's music along with other stuff. It's kind of it's different,

315
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: but in some ways, it's sort of a culture that

316
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: reminds me a lot of Bob Marley's culture in that,

317
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: you know, there's just there's not a whole lot of

318
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: people we put on Jimmy Buffett at a party, they're

319
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: going to be upset about it, exactly. You know, it

320
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: just kinda it fits virtually. It fits a lot of moods,

321
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: and you're right, it puts a lot of smiles on

322
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: people's faces. And you know, I think that early stuff

323
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: from the Zach Brown Band, it has done similar things.

324
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: Of course, they've even had Jimmy on a few of

325
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: their records, I believe, But that that's it. It was

326
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: just it was music that you were supposed to have

327
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: fun listening to and that he had fun making. And

328
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: it was very unique in style. It was unapologetic about

329
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: what it was and what it wasn't. And Buffett's a legend.

330
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: I mean that dude has old billions of tickets, you know,

331
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: billions in tickets money through the years because of how

332
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: much he toured and how much he cared whether he

333
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 1: was your cup of tea or not. He was. He

334
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: was a dude that gave everything he had to the

335
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 1: fans and seventy six years and did a lot with

336
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 1: those seventy six years, certainly, but you just you know,

337
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 1: you see people go and some of them hit you

338
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: a little bit different, and this one was just like Wow,

339
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: I did not know he was in any kind of

340
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 1: health issues. And I mean that's immediately what you look

341
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: at is like, oh, was he battling a bunch of stuff? No,

342
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think this one just kind

343
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: of happened. And now you're hearing a lot of Margueritaville

344
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: and a lot of cum Monday, and a lot of

345
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: cheeseburger and Paradise and fins and all that kind of

346
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: stuff today everywhere, and it just reminds you that that

347
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: dude had quite a catalog. But he also had a

348
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: ton of fans. And I never met a parent head

349
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: that I didn't think was just kind of a decent person. Sure, like,

350
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 1: you didn't meet a bunch of jerks that were pairedheads.

351
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: You might have met some guys that had too much

352
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 1: alcohol or things like that, but generally speaking, these were

353
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: just fun loving guys following a fun loving guy who

354
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: went and loved to perform and love to create music.

355
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, big loss.

356
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I you know, I think what I tweeted earlier today,

357
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 2: I mean a guy that literally made billions off of,

358
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 2: you know, hanging out at the beach or the perceived

359
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 2: notion that that's how he lived his life, and that

360
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 2: literally is the dream, right, that's what we want to

361
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 2: do is kind of everybody hanging out at the beach

362
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 2: and all that. And yeah, I just, you know, I'm

363
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 2: not a huge music person, but yeah, it's just I

364
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 2: think I don't know, and I'm not a music expert

365
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 2: b Any Stretch, but a guy that created a brand

366
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 2: that more.

367
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 3: People associate with.

368
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 2: And I was telling the guys in the back, Chris

369
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 2: and everybody, like a few years ago, my wife and

370
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 2: I were just looking to go away for a long

371
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 2: weekend and we're heading out to Palm Springs, which is

372
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 2: about an hour and a half, maybe an hour from

373
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 2: where we live, and we're looking at hotel and we

374
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 2: saw there was a Margaritaville hotel in Palm's We're like, well,

375
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 2: we're get I guess we're staying there, you know. And

376
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 2: we had a great time, and you know, I think

377
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 2: it's the same as if you see a Margaritaville restaurant,

378
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 2: you kind of know what you're gonna get, and it's

379
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 2: gonna be good music and good food and a good vibe.

380
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,719
Speaker 2: And so we'll be playing some Jimmy Buffett throughout the night.

381
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 2: But Jimmy Buffett of course passed away, and we appreciate

382
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 2: everything that he did for music and like I said,

383
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 2: bring a lot of smiles to people's faces. Getting back

384
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 2: really quickly, Jason to the game of the day. Colorado

385
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 2: takes care of business forty five forty two against against TCU.

386
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 2: I just really won't quickly want to say. I know

387
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 2: the week one hyperbole can go into overdrive, and I

388
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 2: you know, we try not to do it, but it's

389
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 2: hard not to sometimes. I'll be honest, I don't know

390
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 2: that I've ever seen anything quite like Travis Hunter did today.

391
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 3: For people who.

392
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 2: Didn't see the game, this is the former number one

393
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 2: overall player in America committed to Jackson State, follows coach

394
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 2: Follows Dion from JA Texas State to Colorado. But he

395
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 2: played something in the neighborhood of like one hundred forty

396
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 2: snaps that might be a little bit high. It was

397
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 2: over one hundred snaps, it was well over one hundred

398
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 2: degrees on the field, and finished with eleven catches for

399
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 2: one hundred and seventeen yards with a touchdown, and oh,

400
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 2: by the way, had a touchdown call back because he

401
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 2: was just sort of juggling it as it came down,

402
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 2: and also had a touchdown fall through his hands. So

403
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 2: I mean, we were a player two away from this

404
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 2: guy having like thirteen catches with two touchdowns, you know,

405
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,959
Speaker 2: for about one hundred and forty yards plus the interception.

406
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 2: I mean, again, we don't need to do the week

407
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 2: one Heisman and this and that, but just I don't

408
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 2: know that I've ever seen anything quite like that. And

409
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 2: I'm so that's one of the things that no matter

410
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 2: what Colorado's record is over the next couple months, I

411
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 2: am looking forward to watching that guy play every week.

412
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,439
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, And this is why. And this is the

413
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 1: thing about when he decided to go to Jackson State

414
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: and there was the you know, he pulled back on

415
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: the big schools and they went there and there was

416
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: a storyline, it was just like, man, I want to

417
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: see I want to see how good he really is.

418
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: Of course we got to watch some of Jackson State

419
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 1: here and there, but now we're going to see why

420
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: schools were trying so hard to get him, and we

421
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: saw it today. I don't know that I would recommend

422
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: him playing that many snaps on a regular basis, but

423
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: just even if it's just a proving thing. I mean,

424
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: he was right there in the post game on the

425
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: field talking alongside Sanders and alongside Dion as he should

426
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 1: have been. But just insane. Uh, those are insane stats.

427
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: You've got. Obviously you got shduer Sanders in the in

428
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 1: the press conference taking a photo a screenshot of the

429
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: stat sheet, and then you've got Dion and the press

430
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 1: are really basically letting people have it. And this is

431
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: the other thing that you're going to get if he succeeds.

432
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,239
Speaker 1: Look out. Uh the one, the one L that he

433
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: took today was from my wife.

434
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 3: Who diannaor Travis under Dion. Well, uh oh, She's like, is.

435
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 1: He the one I saw earlier in the week wearing

436
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: the cowboy hat? And I said, I said, yeah, absolutely.

437
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: She goes, well, where's the cowboy hat? And I said,

438
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,959
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna wear it on the sidelines, honey.

439
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: And she's like, well he should. He can get away

440
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: with that. I'm like, you know what, he can. He

441
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 1: should have been wearing the cowboy hat. She was right,

442
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 1: that was an L that he took. My wife is right,

443
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: he should be on the sidelines in a cowboy hat

444
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 1: calling himself the sheriff. Well, there's no reason not to.

445
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 2: Well, I will tell you, first of all, I don't

446
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 2: know if you saw the pregame interview with Aaron Andrews.

447
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 2: He was wearing overalls and he pulled it off, and

448
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 2: he pulled it off. He was wearing overalls with the

449
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 2: cowboy hat, and he pulled it off. So I don't

450
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 2: know if we'll get the cowboy hat now that the

451
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 2: games have started. He did wear it in the pregame interview,

452
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 2: and he did wear it in the spring game, which

453
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 2: is where a lot of those pictures came from, and

454
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 2: he seems to wear it quite a bit of practice,

455
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 2: so I'm with you he can pull it off. He's

456
00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 2: got the swag. Coach Prime Dion Sanders, Colorado Get the

00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 2: What does that mean going forward? We'll discuss that next.

467
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 2: Before we do, though, let's toss it over the news desk.

468
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 2: Steve de Seger, my friend, you're smiling. What what do

469
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 2: you got going? You're just happy to have football back.

470
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 5: Absolutely, this is a great day and we've still got

471
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 5: games going on right now. I'm so glad full time

472
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 5: college football is back on Saturday night, and you know,

473
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 5: watching I'm glad you brought up Travis Hunter watching him today,

474
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 5: the name that popped into my mind was Gordie Lockbomb.

475
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 5: For those who remember college football in the nineteen eighties

476
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 5: and getting on the sports illus strated cover, I gotta

477
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 5: say it out loud, a guy from Holy Cross finished

478
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 5: top three in the Heisman voting that year. He played

479
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 5: offense and defense. I looked up the Heisman vote from

480
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 5: nineteen eighty seven. Finishing ninth was Emmett Smith, finishing fifth

481
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 5: running back Craig Iron Iron Hayward, Number four Lorenzo White

482
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 5: Michigan State's Rose Bowl team, and third was Gordy Lockbaum,

483
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 5: who apparently then was the first two way player since

484
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 5: the nineteen sixties in college football. But as a junior

485
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 5: he had eight hundred yards rushing, eight hundred yards receiving,

486
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 5: and about fifty tackles, and then the senior year he

487
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 5: was top three in Heisman voting. This as far as

488
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 5: snaps for Hunter Today offense plus defense. I think it

489
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 5: was AP set over one hundred and twenty snaps. Pro

490
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 5: Football Focus said even more than that. But this is

491
00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 5: a team that I can't we can't overstate how awful

492
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 5: Colorado was last year, and not just last year. You

493
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 5: go back fifteen years. Colorado had one season of more

494
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 5: than five wins.

495
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 3: I looked it up this week.

496
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 2: They were bottom five nationally last year in scoring offense

497
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 2: and scoring defense. You know how bad you have to be,

498
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 2: like I mean, even like a Cliff Kingsbury Texas Tech team.

499
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 3: They couldn't stop anybody, but at least they could.

500
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 2: You have to be so bad to be bottom five

501
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:25,479
Speaker 2: in each I didn't mean to steal your notes.

502
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 1: You realize they haven't had four hundred yards in twenty

503
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: six games.

504
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 2: Wow, I did not know that they have been held

505
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 2: to fewer than four hundred and twenty six straight games.

506
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 1: Enterington.

507
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 5: There was two great notes from AP that says everything

508
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 5: about how night and day this turnaround is at Colorado.

509
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 5: Because you mentioned Shoode or Sanders five hundred and ten

510
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 5: yards passing and the season opener. Last year, Colorado as

511
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 5: a team didn't get up to five hundred yards passing

512
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 5: until the fourth game on the schedule totality, yes, oh

513
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 5: my good, until the fourth game where the team got

514
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,959
Speaker 5: up to five hundred yards passing for the season, did

515
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 5: not And here today in the season opener six touchdowns

516
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 5: in the victory at TCU. Last year, Buffalo's did not

517
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 5: score their six touchdown until the fifth game of the season.

518
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 1: Goodness.

519
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 5: I saw a few Colorado games last year, including one

520
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 5: in person. I repeat, we cannot overstate how bad they

521
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 5: were they. I mean, they lost at Minnesota forty nine

522
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 5: to seven, They lost at Washington fifty four to seven,

523
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 5: They lost at Oregon State forty two to nine.

524
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 6: It most games, most games they were giving up about

525
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 6: forty or more and most games they were scoring about

526
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 6: ten or less.

527
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 5: They finished one on eleven. And the one win for

528
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 5: Colorado last year was against cal when it was ten

529
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 5: ten late in the game and they beat him in overtime.

530
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,360
Speaker 5: So then you have this, which I just can't tell

531
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 5: you how impressive this is, forty five forty two the

532
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 5: win at TCU, And it would have been just as

533
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 5: impressive even if they didn't happen, as you mentioned, Jason,

534
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 5: if they didn't have the defensive stop at the because

535
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 5: a few more yards and easily TCU could have got

536
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 5: the tying field goal, maybe one in overtime. Whatever, It's

537
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 5: a Colorado victory on opening Day. And yes, they'll be

538
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 5: on Fox TV. Next Saturday, Colorado hosts Nebraska, and then

539
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 5: after they play Colorado State to the annual game, it'll

540
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 5: be Colorado at Oregon, Colorado hosting USC. All of that

541
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 5: is in the month of September. We've got games going on,

542
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 5: believe it or not. They've started the fourth quarter finally

543
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 5: at Wyoming about ten minutes to go. Wyoming tied with

544
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 5: Texas Tech seventeen seventeen. There was a weather delay at

545
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 5: the start of that one. UCLA leads Coastal Carolina seven

546
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 5: to three in the second quarter. Texas State won at

547
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 5: Baylor tonight forty two thirty one. Fresno State won at

548
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 5: Purdue thirty nine thirty five. Northern Illinois won in overtime

549
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 5: at Boston College twenty seven twenty four. North Carolina beat

550
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 5: South Carolina in Charlotte thirty one seventeen. This evening, Spencer

551
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 5: Rattler was sacked nine times. Blowout victories for Notre Dame

552
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 5: and Oregon. For Oklahoma and Old miss and yes, everyone

553
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 5: in the top ten that you'd expect to win did win,

554
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 5: including at USC Caleb Williams throwing five touchdown passes in

555
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 5: a victory over Nevada sixty six fourteen. Only one MLB

556
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 5: game still going. The Braves and Dodgers are in the

557
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 5: top of the tenth inning, tied one to one. Everything

558
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 5: else is final, including Baltimore and San Diego with victories.

559
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 2: Back to you, Thank you very much, Steve Sager, Fox

560
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 2: Sports Radio, Fox Sports Saturday eron Torus Jason Martin. We

561
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 2: are broadcasting live from the Tireck dot Com studios. Jason,

562
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 2: you know, the Colorado game was so fun that, you know,

563
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 2: kind of took away from a lot of the other

564
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 2: games today, but it was a little bit of a

565
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 2: quiet week one slate.

566
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we could kind of just rip through some

567
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 3: of these other scores.

568
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 2: The one I want to start with Alabama. We have

569
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 2: had so much conversation about Alabama and about the quarterback

570
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 2: situation at Alabama, as far as who's going to be

571
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 2: the quarterback, what's it going to look like, all of that.

572
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 2: Jalen Milroe was the returnee, and we kind of assumed

573
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 2: that by default, he would he would start. I know

574
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 2: it's Middle Tennessee. He actually looked pretty good. I'm looking

575
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 2: right now.

576
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 3: I'm sorry.

577
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 2: Thirteen of eighteen, three three touchdown passes, two more touchdown runs.

578
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 2: I know it's Middle Tennessee state. I thought they looked

579
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 2: very good. I thought the quarterback looked very good. Things

580
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 2: obviously get much tougher against Texas next week. But I

581
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 2: thought Alabama had a good show, and to start the season,

582
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 2: they sure did.

583
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 1: I mean, they didn't come out flat, and Milroe did

584
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: what Milroe has done. He is an athlete. We knew

585
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: that already, so him having the two rushing touchdown wasn't

586
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: a surprise. But thirteen of eighteen is good against anybody

587
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: that's pretty solid. Didn't make many mistakes, probably didn't try

588
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 1: too much. They had the one deep ball early that

589
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: looked really good for Milroe. But honestly, I'm just not

590
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: willing to say too much about Bama until after next

591
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna learn a lot about both those football teams

592
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: next week. We weren't gonna learn much today other than well,

593
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: Milroe is certainly a guy that can beat a Middle

594
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: Tennessee level football team. Now we'll see what it looks

595
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: like against the Texas football team in prime time, and

596
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: it may look good like I wouldn't be surprised at all. Milroe,

597
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: you know, is still pretty effective next week, and certainly

598
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: you would have to feel more optimistic after watching this.

599
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: It's definitely more one of those years where just the

600
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: idea that QB one just seems a little bit floaty

601
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: is dangerous to me for a team with championship aspirations.

602
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: But if anybody can pull it off, Nick sabancam, because

603
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: you remember Blake Simms and Cocher, and I mean he's

604
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: had to deal with this not too often, but he

605
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: has had to deal with this a few times in

606
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: the past. But again, all you can do is play

607
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: what's on your schedule, and today fifty six to seven

608
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: throttle the Blue Raiders at Middle Tennessee and Milroe look

609
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: good in the process, and that's that's about all you

610
00:30:58,840 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: can ask for.

611
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's my one thing with this Alabama team is

612
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 2: they have talked all offseason about, you know, we're gonna

613
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 2: get back to the physicality of the toughness of this

614
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 2: to that we'll find out in time. But the idea

615
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 2: that Alabama or anybody really can't win without elite quarterback play, Like,

616
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 2: I just don't buy that. I mean, stets A meta

617
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 2: obviously very much elevated his game the last especially last season,

618
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 2: he was excellent, but the year before Georgia was largely

619
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 2: a defense and run game team. Michigan has won back

620
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 2: to back Big Ten titles where they listen. JJ McCarthy

621
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,959
Speaker 2: has the ability, but he hasn't really been asked to

622
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 2: do much during the regular season.

623
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 3: And then two years ago they had Cad mcnamaras starting quarterbacks.

624
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 2: So I just bring it up to say, like, I

625
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 2: think there's this misnomer that it can't be done. Now,

626
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 2: does that mean that Alabama will do it? Does it

627
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 2: mean that in this given year that a quarterback like

628
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams might not lead his team to a championship now,

629
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 2: But the idea that it can't be done, that you

630
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 2: have to have that quarterback like a Trevor Lawrence or

631
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow, I've just never bought that, And so I

632
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 2: think from Alabama's perspective, they did look good again. Fifty

633
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 2: six to seven was the final score. Jayalen Milroe five

634
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 2: total touchdowns for the Alabama Crimson Tide tell.

635
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 3: You what, Jason will come back.

636
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,760

Speaker 2: this segment Choose your own Adventure. It was there weren't

678
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 2: a ton of story. There weren't like a ton of like,

679
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 2: oh my goodness, kind of stories outside of Colorado and TCU,

680
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 2: which we led the show with.

Speaker 3: the podcast. What else stood out to you.

683
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you the floor to give me a

684
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 2: story or two. I have one or two that I

685
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 2: want to discuss as well before the top of the hour,

686
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 2: if we have time. What stood out to you in

687
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 2: week one outside of what we've already talked about.

688
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 1: Well, I know what we're going to lead our two with,

689
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 1: so I'll avoid that. Ohio State might be one. I mean,

690
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: they won the game, but you didn't come away from

691
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: it feeling particularly good. I would imagine if you're an

692
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: Ohio State fan, especially if you look at what JJ

693
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: McCarthy did on the other side for Michigan, and of

694
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: course what Michigan's been the last few years, what are

695
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: you going to replace Stroud with? Well, McCord was okay

696
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 1: at times, but not great, and that was a game

697
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: that should not have been a game we needed to

698
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: be watching late. I told you, I told you when

699
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: we were texting around halftime, I was like, they'll probably

700
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: win a game by twenty, but it's not impressive and

701
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: it wasn't at all, and I think more than anything,

702
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: it didn't come across as a shock to me. It

703
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: just reinforced my feelings that Ohio State is very incomplete

704
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: this year and that this is where you're gonna find

705
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: out if Ryan Day is good or if he has

706
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 1: kind of rested on the back of his players a

707
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: little bit too much over the past few years, because

708
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: even though they got a lot of skill talent, if

709
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: they don't have the right QB, that offense doesn't seem

710
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: to look particularly daunting. Now again, it's Week one and

711
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 1: they won the game, so I don't want to overreact.

712
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: They have done this before early in the year as well.

713
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: As Ohio State looked a little unimpressive against the team

714
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: you thought they would beat a lot easier, and they're

715
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 1: still undefeated at this point in the season, I get that.

716
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 1: I was not impressed with the Buckeys performance basically in

717
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 1: any way today.

718
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had that thought as well watching that game.

719
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 2: Jason was the idea that we just kind of pencil in, like, Okay, well,

720
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 2: Ohio State lost this guy. They lost that guy, a quarterback.

721
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 2: I'm talking about whether it was obviously unfortunately the late

722
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 2: Dwayne Haskins, whether it was CJ. Stroud, whether it was

723
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 2: justin fields and we just pencil in, Okay, they'll be fine.

724
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,080
Speaker 2: Whoever that next next man up, they'll be good. And

725
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 2: it's like, but what if the next guy isn't a

726
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 2: top you know, fifteen quarterback, like a top fifteen draft

727
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 2: pick like those other three guys were. Because and we've

728
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 2: talked about this, is that the run game has seemingly

729
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,280
Speaker 2: deteriorated through the years. Now, last year they had some injuries,

730
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 2: but you know, in physical games where they can't just

731
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 2: throw the ball over the field and get their athletes

732
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,280
Speaker 2: in space, they have struggled the last couple of years.

733
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 3: They've two years in a row.

734
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 2: They've lost to Michigan easily, could have lost to Penn

735
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 2: State last year, lost to Oregon a few years ago.

736
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 2: So I'm with you in that I do think this

737
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 2: opens up the door for if they don't get elite

738
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 2: quarterback play. The schedule we talked about this last week

739
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,919
Speaker 2: is very tough. It's not an easy schedule. They play

740
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 2: at Notre Dame, which was impressive again today. Now they

741
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 2: took care of an FCS team. So next week they

742
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 2: play at NC State. We'll get a much better picture

743
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 2: of what Notre Dame is. But Ohio State has to

744
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,359
Speaker 2: play at Notre Dame. They get Penn State at home,

745
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 2: they get with Constant on the road, and of course

746
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 2: late late late in the year, they get Michigan at home.

747
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 2: And so I'm with you, and I know it's a

748
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,399
Speaker 2: theme of tonight's show. We don't want to overreact too much,

749
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 2: but I'm with you from the perspective of if they

750
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 2: don't if they don't figure it out, there could be

751
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 2: some concerns down the road. I want to give you

752
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 2: another one that I noticed earlier today, Jason, And again

753
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 2: you want to try not to overreact. But Texas A

754
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,919
Speaker 2: and M, well, we've talked a lot about them last year,

755
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 2: and then of course early this year they beat New

756
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 2: Mexico fifty two to ten. And I know it would

757
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 2: be easy to sit there and say, ah, it's New Mexico.

758
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 3: Who cares? How about this?

759
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 2: Jason, Texas A and M last year when Jimbo Fisher

760
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 2: was calling place did not score more than forty points

761
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:49,399
Speaker 2: in any game, including, of course, most notably the bad

762
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 2: games that they lost.

763
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 3: App State.

764
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,959
Speaker 2: They lost they played Sam Houston State only scored thirty

765
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 2: one points. They put up fifty two points today, and

766
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 2: it got me thinking, is what if we, like, what

767
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 2: if we've just been talking about this the wrong way.

768
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 2: Is we all acknowledge that Bob Bobby Petrino is a

769
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 2: great play caller, great offensive mind, and like we've.

770
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,399
Speaker 3: Been talking about all summer, what if it doesn't work,

771
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 3: what if it blows up?

772
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 2: What if it does work? What if Jimbo is hands off?

773
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 2: What if he lets his offensive coordinator actually do the

774
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 2: job and Jimbo just focuses on being that CEO head coach.

775
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 3: It's early. They play Miami next week.

776
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 2: Don't want to overreact, but week one, the early returns

777
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 2: were good for A and M.

778
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,919
Speaker 1: This week, Jason Yeah and Wegman only had five incompletions

779
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 1: in the game to go with five touchdowns. H that's

780
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 1: a good day, it is. And Evan Stewart looked like

781
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: Evan Stewart supposed to look eight catches, one fifteen, two touchdowns,

782
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: over fourteen yards per grab on average. They looked more

783
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: of the part, but they looked more like Patrino than

784
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: they did Jimbo. And that's the only thing that you

785
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: could take away. I mean, obviously it's New Mexico so

786
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: we can include that, But the bigger point is that

787
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 1: they didn't score forty last year, and they put up

788
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,800
Speaker 1: fifty two in the first game of this new setup.

789
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: We have to see what this looks like when it's closer,

790
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 1: because when it's closer against a good team, is that

791
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: where the ego struggle is going to begin on the sidelines.

792
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 1: If it doesn't and they're able to coexist, this will

793
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 1: be This could be successful, It could be I don't

794
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 1: I don't know how I feel about it, but I

795
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: do think today was something that you can't take much

796
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: away from and it's not like, I mean, you can't

797
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: take anything away from this win, Like there's not a

798
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 1: negative here for Texas A and M. This was a

799
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: good first step for them after a disaster last year.

800
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 2: A couple of eight scores keep you updated on Jason

801
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 2: UCLA right before the half of the Rose Bowl. Up

802
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 2: fourteen to three over Coast to Carolina Arizona, actually up

803
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 2: fourteen to three at halftime over Northern Arizona. And then, oh,

804
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 2: by the way, interesting one on CBS here Wyoming up

805
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 2: twenty to seventeen against Texas Tech with about five minutes

806
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 2: left in the game. We will keep you updated on

807
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 2: that when we come back. We'll look back on Thursday,

Speaker 2: we will get to the AFC end of the show.

821

Speaker 2: Super Bowl picks. That will be all done at at

823
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 2: a later point this evening. A lot of football to

824
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 2: get to from the NFL perspective, but I do want

825
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 2: to stay on college for just a few minutes longer,

826
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 2: and again I promise for those of you who are

827
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 2: NFL fans, we will be talking NFL about fifteen to

828
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,839
Speaker 2: twenty minutes from now, said I want to go back

829
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 2: to Thursday night, and I know it's a little bit

830
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 2: relatively outdated at this point.

831
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: I know, no, no, it's not NC State beat Yukon. Whoa

832
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: whoa in the in the Martin Torrez Bowl.

833
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 3: Oh that's right. Okay, as an NC State fan, you're

834
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 3: allowed to.

835
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:17,879
Speaker 1: I'm not tired. I'm not tired of it yet.

836
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 3: Okay, No, this is well.

837
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: I mean I went there for two years. I'd not

838
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: get my degree, but uh, I got my degree elsewhere.

839
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 1: But you went to Yukon. I attended n C State,

840
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: and the wolf Pack took care of the Huskies. They did,

841
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 1: they did, and then other games were played.

842
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 3: Then other games were played.

843
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 2: I'll say this from the YUCA perspective, a lot of

844
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 2: self inflicted penalties. But you know, listen, it's almost like

845
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 2: a Colorado thing. I mean, two years ago they went

846
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 2: one and eleven. Last year they exceeded all expectations. NC

847
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 2: State is good. The fact that it was competitive, uh,

848
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 2: and it was a game that really Yukon really beat

849
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 2: themselves to put them, you know, to put to get

850
00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 2: things out of hand. From the from the NC State perspective,

851
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,399
Speaker 2: probably speaks to a little bit of a positive from

852
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 2: the Yukon perspective, but I do want to switch gears

853
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 2: some of those other games unless you really want to

854
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 2: break down the third quarter miscues from Yukon and they

855
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 2: went for it on third in this one.

856
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 3: Whatever.

857
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 2: Two teams that you know, again, I think are still

858
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 2: really big brands in college football and you know, worth discussing.

859
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 2: By the way, I should keep everybody updated on a

860
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:33,399
Speaker 2: very interesting score late Wyoming up twenty to seventeen on

861
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 2: Texas Tech with a minute thirty five left. Texas Tech

862
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 2: does have the football go Cowboys. Well interesting game, Jason,

863
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 2: I'll tell you why. It's because I don't know why

864
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 2: Texas Tech would ever agree to playing a true road

865
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,839
Speaker 2: game at Wyoming. But I bring it up because that's

866
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 2: a good segue to what happened on Thursday night where

867
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 2: the Mighty Florida Gators out of the SEC. There was

868
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 2: some crazy stat about the last time that they played

869
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 2: a non conference true road game, you know, because they

870
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 2: play Florida State every year, so they don't need to

871
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 2: schedule other marquee games. But this is part of a

872
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 2: home and home obviously. You and I were on air

873
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 2: last year when Anthony Richardson and the Gators did take

874
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 2: care of Utah. But the Florida Gators go out to

875
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 2: Utah and the final score doesn't really reflect it, but

876
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 2: they got absolutely smacked. Final score in that game was

877
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 2: twenty four to eleven. And obviously the concerns are multifold.

878
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 2: But if you're a Florida fan, Utah was without its

879
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:38,839
Speaker 2: starting quarterback, came rising their best two time All Pack

880
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 2: twelve tight end, their best defensive lineman was out with

881
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 2: an injury, and their best linebacker got knocked out with

882
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 2: an injury early in the game, like the second or

883
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 2: third series of the game. And it was never really

884
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 2: that competitive, No, it wasn't. What do you make of

885
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:58,840
Speaker 2: the Gators who just I'm just gonna toss it over you.

886
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 2: I don't need to set up any or what are

887
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 2: you making the games?

888
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 1: Florida rushed twenty one times for thirteen yards in the

889
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:09,840
Speaker 1: football game. If you are scoring at home or trying

890
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 1: to do math, don't bother. That is less than a

891
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: yard to carry Graham Mertz. Actually, from a statistical standpoint,

892
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 1: if you just look at completions attempts in yards, thirty

893
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 1: one to forty four for three thirty three is all right.

894
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: He had a thirty QBR thirty folks, that is not good.

895
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: This goes back to what I was saying about Dion

896
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: earlier and with Lincoln Riley and the fact that you

897
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 1: can come in and you can rebuild really fast because

898
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,280
Speaker 1: of the way college football has changed, and as such,

899
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 1: if you can't succeed in doing that, you're no longer

900
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:47,360
Speaker 1: going to have that. Well, you got to give the

901
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 1: guy three years. You got to give him four years.

902
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 1: Ski his guys, that's not gonna fly anymore, you know where.

903
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 1: It's definitely not gonna fly in Gainesville. I like Billy

904
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,880
Speaker 1: Napier a lot, and he was super successful at Louisiana,

905
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:01,399
Speaker 1: and I I didn't think that that was a bad

906
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,720
Speaker 1: high in any way. I don't know that he's gonna

907
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 1: get an opportunity for this to work out because you

908
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:14,360
Speaker 1: get the utes without cam rising and you do nothing.

909
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: You can't do anything against their defense. Whoever they put

910
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:21,360
Speaker 1: on the field is gashing you on the ground, beating

911
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:25,399
Speaker 1: you through the air. They're doing everything defensively under the sun.

912
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 1: To you, it's a tough place to play. I understand that,

913
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: but that's a game where, at the very least if

914
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna lose it, you better lose it in a

915
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 1: heck of a fight, And this thing was not a fight.

916
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 1: I was watching other football games in the second half

917
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,360
Speaker 1: because I was at Florida's not coming back. There was

918
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: a time where it didn't matter how far Florida was behind,

919
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 1: You're still gonna watch it because it's Florida. This Florida

920
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,280
Speaker 1: is starting to feel like you said, there's still brand.

921
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 1: It's still a brand, and we're about talk about another

922
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: team that's still a brand in some respects, and Florida

923
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 1: has been a brand recently, but Florida right now is

924
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 1: star darting to look like the band that you love

925
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 1: that the last three albums have not been very good

926
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 1: and really need to win all of a sudden, Like

927
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 1: they keep trying to recapture the magic of those first

928
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 1: two or three records that you have, or those those

929
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 1: first three four CDs that just bang, and they can't

930
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 1: do it, and so they're trying to reinvent things. But

931
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 1: the stuff that even used to work doesn't work. Like

932
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 1: what the heck is a Florida team that can't run

933
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,840
Speaker 1: the football? Like when did that become a thing? The

934
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 1: one thing that you always could count on with Florida.

935
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 1: They were going to turn you over defensively, and they

936
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:38,839
Speaker 1: were going to run the ball down your throat. They

937
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 1: were going to be fast on the outside, they were

938
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 1: going to get to the edge, and they were gonna

939
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:47,320
Speaker 1: make you pay over and over and over. This Florida

940
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 1: team doesn't look like they have the athletes. They don't

941
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 1: look like they have a quarterback, they don't look like

942
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 1: they have a cohesive offensive philosophy. And this is not

943
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 1: just looking at it this year. This is going back

944
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: to last year, even with Anthony Richardson, who was a

945
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: top ten pick and he's going to start Week one

946
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: for the Colts. Even without even with him, last year,

947
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:12,720
Speaker 1: they didn't look good and now they look even less

948
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 1: structured and they just there's no identity to this Florida

949
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,760
Speaker 1: team at all. And that to me is not something

950
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 1: that is going to keep Billy Napier employed for very long.

951
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 1: Like this has got to change, but this is an

952
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 1: indicator that it may just not be there for it

953
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:28,280
Speaker 1: to change.

954
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 2: I like the band analogy if you keep waiting for it,

955
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 2: reminds me of like the Will Ferrell career arc right,

956
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 2: Like you're like, oh, old school was awesome, this guy's great.

957
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:39,919
Speaker 3: Oh, Anchorman was good. This guy's great.

958
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,839
Speaker 2: Then all of a sudden you get a semipro in there,

959
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden you get a blade

960
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 2: of Glory in there, and you're like, what just happened

961
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:49,879
Speaker 2: to Will Ferrell? And that I think you're exactly right

962
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 2: with Florida is like, I think the thing that's most

963
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 2: jarring to me two things. One, I agree with you

964
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 2: one hundred percent on the time frame in which to

965
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 2: get things. And by the way, you know, people would say, well,

966
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 2: you know, I mean usc they brought in Kayleb Williams. Okay,

967
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 2: so let's use LSU who had the exact same situation

968
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:11,840
Speaker 2: first year head coach last year in Brian Kelly. He

969
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 2: brings in a bunch of guys in the portal. Jaden

970
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:17,839
Speaker 2: Daniels works, they're really good immediately, And I look at

971
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 2: Florida and it is it's really jarring. Is is they

972
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,720
Speaker 2: weren't good last year? They went six and seven. Anthony

973
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 2: Richardson basically won them that Utah game. Otherwise they wouldn't

974
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,920
Speaker 2: have even been Bowl eligible. And I just bring it

975
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 2: up because like you watch that Florida, it doesn't look

976
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:38,360
Speaker 2: like a Florida team. They're not athletic, they're not skilled,

977
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 2: they don't play hard, they're not tough, they don't block,

978
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 2: and it's like when did Florida just not have good players?

979
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 2: And so some of it I do think is on

980
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,359
Speaker 2: the previous regime. I don't think they left them very much,

981
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:52,880
Speaker 2: but I will say in this era of the transfer portal,

982
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 2: it's not an excuse and they just haven't done a

983
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:58,840
Speaker 2: good enough job. Listen, I'm not a scouting guru or expert,

984
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 2: but I did look up. The athletic before the season

985
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 2: released a list of the top one hundred transfers in

986
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 2: college football this year. Florida had none of them. And

987
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:09,800
Speaker 2: that's not an excuse.

988
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 1: In a year where you're not unacceptable.

989
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:12,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, it's not like you're Georgia.

990
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:15,359
Speaker 2: By the way, Texas Tech has just tied the game

991
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:17,280
Speaker 2: with under a minute to go at Wyoming.

992
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:18,960
Speaker 3: We'll keep you updated on that one.

993
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 2: But exactly what you just said, it's unacceptable because this

994
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 2: is a program.

995
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:24,880
Speaker 3: You're not Georgia.

996
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 2: It's not as though you don't have any any holes

997
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 2: to fill because your roster's awesome. You were terrible last

998
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 2: year and this portal is giving you new life. And

999
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:39,320
Speaker 2: to your point earlier, LSU overnight flipped USC overnight flipped.

1000
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:43,880
Speaker 2: Colorado appears to have overnight flipped it over. Florida can't

1001
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 2: be this bad any year two and and by the way,

1002
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:50,880
Speaker 2: you know Willy survive, will you not? We got twelve

1003
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:53,400
Speaker 2: more weeks to talk about that. But you look at

1004
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:58,360
Speaker 2: the schedule. Obviously, you play Georgia, Tennessee looked pretty good today.

1005
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,440
Speaker 2: You play LSU every year, and that this game this

1006
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 2: year it's at LSU. You know, you play Florida State

1007
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:07,800
Speaker 2: to end the year. You start looking across the schedule,

1008
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 2: it's hard to find wins. If they don't if they

1009
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:17,319
Speaker 2: don't improve significantly from what they look like on Thursday night,

1010
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:20,320
Speaker 2: there's just not a lot of easy wins on the schedule.

1011
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 2: By the way, Kentucky look good today, Arkansas look good today.

1012
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:23,919
Speaker 2: These are some of the teams that they'll play later.

1013
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 2: Not saying that they can't beat them, but with the

1014
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:28,759
Speaker 2: way they looked on Thursday, I don't think anything is

1015
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 2: guaranteed at this point.

1016
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's the point for Florida. It's supposed to

1017
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,759
Speaker 1: be guaranteed. Florida is one of those schools where that

1018
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 1: term applies more often than not, and far more often

1019
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:43,399
Speaker 1: than not in most cases, guaranteed, you can go ahead

1020
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 1: and mark that one off. Doesn't mean you can't be

1021
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 1: stunned every once in a while, but you can look

1022
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 1: at a Florida schedule and say, all right, ten wins

1023
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 1: like without even really having to look too deeply. The

1024
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:57,800
Speaker 1: other thing that Florida fans are not going to tolerate

1025
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:02,279
Speaker 1: is being completely planted and dominated by Tennessee in the east.

1026
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 1: And that's what's happened. We already saw that. I mean,

1027
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:08,399
Speaker 1: we saw it last year and it's gonna happen again

1028
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 1: this year. Hypel's got them going in the right direction.

1029
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,799
Speaker 1: Beyond the right direction, we already we have already seen

1030
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 1: enough to know that this is sticking around as certainly

1031
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 1: as long as he's going to be there, Florida can't

1032
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:23,840
Speaker 1: fall behind. And that stat from the athletic about the

1033
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:25,839
Speaker 1: one hundred transfers and them not having any of them,

1034
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 1: this is Florida.

1035
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:31,320
Speaker 3: That shouldn't You were difficult and you were bad. That

1036
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:32,800
Speaker 3: shouldn't be difficult.

1037
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 1: People should be clamoring to wear that uniform and to

1038
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:37,719
Speaker 1: put on that helmet and to go play in the

1039
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 1: swamp and to be in Gainesville playing that sport, that's

1040
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:44,280
Speaker 1: like one of the great environments in all of sports

1041
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:47,840
Speaker 1: in the world to play in and you can't get

1042
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 1: anybody there like that right there. It is becoming even

1043
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:56,280
Speaker 1: more so. Now you have to be able to sell yourself,

1044
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:59,360
Speaker 1: sell your vision, sell your program, and sell your environment.

1045
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 1: And if if you can't do that to get these

1046
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 1: transfers that are out there looking for money, but they're

1047
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:07,439
Speaker 1: also looking for the right kind of exposure and they're

1048
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:09,279
Speaker 1: able to pick and choose a lot more than they

1049
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 1: used to be. You're not going to last in most

1050
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:16,280
Speaker 1: of these places, especially not in Florida. It's gonna become

1051
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:18,840
Speaker 1: less important that you can coach and more important that

1052
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:22,279
Speaker 1: you can sell. And and it's always been that way,

1053
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 1: I think to some degree, but it has changed and

1054
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:27,959
Speaker 1: become more so. Napier is a heck of a football coach,

1055
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 1: and he might be a great football coach looking for

1056
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:33,439
Speaker 1: a job next year, yes, or maybe two years because

1057
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 1: of the buyoup. Yes.

1058
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 3: And it's just again, it's it's something.

1059
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:39,440
Speaker 2: It's just something a monitor because because I think you

1060
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 2: hit on the most important point is that, Okay, if

1061
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 2: you're Florida and LSU gets you, Okay, maybe Georgia gets you.

1062
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 2: But if Tennessee gets you again, Kentucky beat you last year.

1063
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:54,359
Speaker 2: By the way, that's right, you know whoever? I mean,

1064
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 2: Missouri didn't look awful the other night, and we don't

1065
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:58,799
Speaker 2: need to get into the overall scale, like are they

1066
00:53:58,800 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 2: gonna beat Missouri?

1067
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 3: We don't have to do that tonight.

1068
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 2: But the point is the way they look, there don't

1069
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:04,360
Speaker 2: appear to be a lot of wins on the schedule,

1070
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:06,400
Speaker 2: Jason really quickly, because we do got to get to

1071
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 2: some NFL give me the thirty second spiel on Nebraska.

1072
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:13,359
Speaker 2: All I'll say about that game. I just feel bad

1073
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 2: for Nebraska fans. It's game one under Matt rule. They

1074
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 2: did not look very good, but what was it five

1075
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 2: minutes to go, they're up ten to three, you think

1076
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 2: they're in control, back to back turnovers. They end up

1077
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 2: losing thirteen to ten in regulation, essentially a walk off

1078
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:29,839
Speaker 2: field goal for Minnesota.

1079
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 3: I feel bad for Nebraska fans.

1080
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:31,719
Speaker 4: Man.

1081
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:34,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, game was a rock fight and it was

1082
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:37,400
Speaker 1: just one of those. Again, Nebraska's found some really just

1083
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 1: heartbreaking ways to lose games also, But this is gonna

1084
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:43,880
Speaker 1: be another circumstance. This is a brand that is further

1085
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: from relevance than Florida. Florida has been relevant recently. Nebraska

1086
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 1: really has it, but Matt Rule has So you bring

1087
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:53,240
Speaker 1: him in and you want to see a turnaround quickly.

1088
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 1: It's going to take some time there because they don't

1089
00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 1: have the same advantage. Getting people to Nebraska is harder

1090
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 1: than it should be getting people to Florida. But at

1091
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:06,319
Speaker 1: the same time, this is not This is not Colorado.

1092
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 1: This is a different animal and it is a different scenario.

1093
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:13,440
Speaker 1: But this felt like the old Nebraska to me, and

1094
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 1: that's a bad thing.

1095
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 2: It is a bad thing. I think the stat was

1096
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:19,800
Speaker 2: two and fourteen in one possession games. I don't know

1097
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 2: if it's over the last I think since the start

1098
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:25,360
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty one, two and fourteen in one possession games.

1099
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 2: I'll be honest, I don't remember the two that's the part.

1100
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 2: I remember a lot of very close losses, especially at

1101
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:32,319
Speaker 2: the end of the Scott Frost era.

1102
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 3: I don't remember very many close wins.

00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 2: we have talked a lot of college football to lead

1123
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:35,080
Speaker 2: the show, but we are, of course just what four

1124
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 2: and a half five days away from the start of

1125
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:38,880
Speaker 2: the NFL season.

1126
00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 3: It is gonna be great.

1127
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:44,880
Speaker 2: We cannot wait, obviously, that big Thursday night game Detroit

1128
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:48,399
Speaker 2: opening at Kansas City and then from there it's go time.

1129
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 2: So last week, Jason, we did our NFC preview and

1130
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 2: in the most boring way imaginable, we picked the winners

1131
00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 2: all the same winners we had Philly in the East,

1132
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:01,800
Speaker 2: the Detroit Lions winning the na North, Carolina winning the

1133
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:04,840
Speaker 2: NFC South, and the San Francisco forty nine ers winning

1134
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 2: the NFC West. Tell you what, Let's start with the

1135
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 2: AFC East and let's get into it. Laredo, go ahead,

1136
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 2: give us a little music, put us in the mood.

1137
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:15,600
Speaker 1: I'm hoping we disagree four times, but I don't think

1138
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:17,600
Speaker 1: that will happen. But I do think we will not

1139
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 1: be one hundred percent here.

1140
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 2: The AFC South exists, so I don't think we're going

1141
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:22,520
Speaker 2: right four four four on this one.

1142
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 3: But all right, let's start AFC East.

1143
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 2: So I think the story to me, and tell me

1144
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 2: if you disagree, is that somebody's got to finish in third.

1145
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 2: Is that we like three teams. They can all be good. Now,

1146
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 2: in theory, they could all make the playoffs, but each

1147
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 2: one there's just kind of this thing of like, well,

1148
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 2: you know, there's something not quite right in Buffalo, and

1149
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:45,080
Speaker 2: what if it doesn't vibe in New York, and of

1150
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:48,960
Speaker 2: course Tua's health in Miami. What do you deemed, let's

1151
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:50,400
Speaker 2: just keep it simple, what do you deem to be

1152
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 2: the most interesting narrative in this division? Where and by

1153
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 2: the way, maybe it's that team that we all expect

1154
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:57,280
Speaker 2: to be in last place in the New England Patriots.

1155
00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 3: What what do you deem to be the most interesting thing

1156
00:57:58,920 --> 00:57:59,440
Speaker 3: in this division?

1157
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:01,960
Speaker 1: Scott? The Jets, I think, just because of the Aaron

1158
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:06,080
Speaker 1: Rodgers factor and just what that's gonna look like and

1159
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 1: what it brings to that team, and of course what

1160
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna mean for the team that he left. I

1161
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:14,160
Speaker 1: think that if you just phrase it most interesting, I

1162
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 1: think it's that if you look at the most concerning,

1163
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 1: I think it's probably Miami just because the two is health.

1164
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, I mean, the Patriots just aren't

1165
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 1: that interesting to me. The Bills. There's certainly some things

1166
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:32,760
Speaker 1: that if it goes awry early, that's gonna get very interesting,

1167
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure that will happen. Miami with two

1168
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:38,800
Speaker 1: is health. I still fear that will happen, And the

1169
00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:41,320
Speaker 1: Jets are gonna be interesting, whether they're really good or

1170
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:42,680
Speaker 1: really bad do you.

1171
00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 2: First of all, I agree with you, and I do

1172
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:48,480
Speaker 2: think you know again, because the Jets are the Jets,

1173
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:51,200
Speaker 2: and because the Jets have Aaron Rodgers, it sucked up

1174
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 2: so much of the oxygen in that division. But I

1175
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:57,480
Speaker 2: don't think we're talking enough about Miami, and maybe the

1176
00:58:57,560 --> 00:58:59,480
Speaker 2: last couple of days it feels like people have kind

1177
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:02,040
Speaker 2: of realized, like, hey, you know whatever, but it just

1178
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 2: feels like like it's not And this is obvious, but

1179
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 2: nobody's like rooting for injuries with Tua, but there's been

1180
00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:12,600
Speaker 2: so many over the years, and he's just a guy

1181
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:14,840
Speaker 2: that has not really proven that he can go ahead

1182
00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 2: and stay healthy. And so until I see it, I

1183
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:20,640
Speaker 2: cannot get behind them. Let me ask you this, on

1184
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:22,920
Speaker 2: a scale one to ten, how nervous are you just

1185
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 2: about this weird, weird, weird offseason in Buffalo? Josh Allen,

1186
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:30,480
Speaker 2: stefand not really Josh Allen but Stefan Diggs. Josh Allen's

1187
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 2: kind of defending him publicly, but we don't really know

1188
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 2: what's going on. And Sean McDermott says this, but he

1189
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 2: got the long term extension. On a scale one to ten,

1190
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:39,880
Speaker 2: how worried are you about everything in Buffalo.

1191
00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:45,000
Speaker 1: I'd say seven and a half. I definitely am worried

1192
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:47,920
Speaker 1: about it, and I want to go over seven because

1193
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:52,080
Speaker 1: seven's the easy one that everybody goes with. It does

1194
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 1: concern me. The question is this, as we get to

1195
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 1: the prediction of the division here in a minute, does

1196
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 1: it concern me enough not to pick them in the

1197
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:06,200
Speaker 1: division that they've pretty much dominated for the last few years.

1198
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 2: Well, let's get into our picks then. Jason Martin's official

1199
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:12,520
Speaker 2: AFC East pick is.

1200
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:16,120
Speaker 1: Man, I want to pick the Jets, but there's so

1201
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 1: much new there. I'm afraid there's too much new there.

1202
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:25,479
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go even with all of what we've talked

1203
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 1: about during the offseason, and I don't know what this

1204
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:34,160
Speaker 1: portends for the playoffs. I'm gonna take Buffalo. I am

1205
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 1: worried about that pick, but I don't know that I

1206
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:40,760
Speaker 1: feel good about picking any of the teams in that division, because,

1207
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:44,400
Speaker 1: as you said, somebody has to finish third. They can't

1208
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:47,800
Speaker 1: all be thirteen and four football teams. So I'm gonna

1209
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:50,360
Speaker 1: go with the one that had the least amount of

1210
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 1: change and believe that Buffalo is going to come out

1211
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:54,080
Speaker 1: on top.

1212
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 2: I'm not doing this for the sake of being different,

1213
01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:59,400
Speaker 2: but we do have our first disagreement.

1214
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:01,200
Speaker 1: I figured I figured it would be here.

1215
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:04,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, And listen, I could see two things with the

1216
01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:07,560
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills is one. I could see it being business

1217
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:09,720
Speaker 2: as usual. We spend so much time talking about him

1218
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:11,320
Speaker 2: and what does it mean? And what about this? And

1219
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 2: what about that? But listen, the one thing we know

1220
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 2: about this league, there is such a thin line between

1221
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:21,080
Speaker 2: success and failure, between wins and losses. Every year we

1222
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 2: have a team go from worse to first. Every year,

1223
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:25,680
Speaker 2: we have teams that we think are invincible that struggle,

1224
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:28,440
Speaker 2: and this year there is a lot of noise. It

1225
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:32,200
Speaker 2: really started in that playoff game against Cincinnati last year,

1226
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:34,880
Speaker 2: where it peered as though everything went wrong, and I

1227
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 2: just thought it was a real up and down year

1228
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 2: for Josh Allen in general. So with that, obviously, I've

1229
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 2: spoken about how I feel about two. I'm gonna go

1230
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:46,080
Speaker 2: with the Jets and and I don't think it's anything crazy,

1231
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:47,520
Speaker 2: And I don't think they're gonna win the Super Bowl.

1232
01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:50,760
Speaker 2: We'll do our Super Bowl picks later, but I just

1233
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:53,480
Speaker 2: I think that Aaron Rodgers with a chip on his

1234
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:56,480
Speaker 2: shoulder is a dangerous thing. I agree, Yeah, and Aaron

1235
01:01:56,560 --> 01:01:58,880
Speaker 2: Rodgers with real weapons, and I know the old line

1236
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:01,240
Speaker 2: has struggled in the preseason and hasn't looked great, and

1237
01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:03,600
Speaker 2: Robert Solis called him out a few times on hard knocks.

1238
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 2: But I do sit there and say, you know what,

1239
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:09,720
Speaker 2: quarterback chip on his shoulder. But also it's the weird

1240
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 2: balance of like chip on your shoulder with like the

1241
01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:18,160
Speaker 2: newness of you know, we're not gonna we will at

1242
01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 2: some point, but I don't know that we're gonna get

1243
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 2: super grumpy Aaron Rodgers. But again, based on everything that

1244
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:26,959
Speaker 2: we've seen, maybe Aaron Rodgers was grumpy because he wasn't

1245
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:30,040
Speaker 2: getting any help from the Green Bay Packers front office

1246
01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 2: in terms of weapons and this and that. So I'm

1247
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,240
Speaker 2: going to pick the New York Jets, and I'll be honest,

1248
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:38,040
Speaker 2: like this is not a hot take, but it would

1249
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:40,840
Speaker 2: not surprise me at all if the team that you picked,

1250
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:42,400
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bill's won, I'll be out.

1251
01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 1: And vice versa. By the way, like I said, I

1252
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:46,479
Speaker 1: wanted to pick the Jets. I just couldn't quite get there.

1253
01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:48,439
Speaker 1: But those are the two I feel the best about.

1254
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:48,920
Speaker 1: I agree.

1255
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:50,680
Speaker 2: One last question is we got to get to de Seger.

1256
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:54,040
Speaker 2: How surprised would you be if it was actually Miami,

1257
01:02:54,120 --> 01:02:56,360
Speaker 2: If Miami, if TUA stays healthy and they do what

1258
01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:59,680
Speaker 2: they do, and it's actually Miami that ends up whatever

1259
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:01,760
Speaker 2: twelve and five at the end of the year and

1260
01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:02,920
Speaker 2: ends up winning this division.

1261
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:05,360
Speaker 1: It wouldn't surprise me that much because of the talent.

1262
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 1: It would just mean that they did stay healthy, which

1263
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:09,840
Speaker 1: I guess would be in its own way, a surprise.

1264
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:12,360
Speaker 1: The only thing that would surprised me how that division

1265
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:13,480
Speaker 1: is of New England won it.

1266
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:19,400
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, I would be surprised if Miami won, and

1267
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:22,080
Speaker 2: you know, just because of two because of the health.

1268
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 2: There's just so many tough games in that division. So

1269
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 2: we have our first disagreement. After going four for four

1270
01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:32,360
Speaker 2: in the NFC last week, we have our first disagreement.

1271
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 2: Jason Martin picks the Buffalo Bills to win the AFC East,

1272
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:39,960
Speaker 2: and myself, Aaron Torres, picks the New York Jets to

1273
01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:42,800
Speaker 2: win the AFC East as well. Tell you what, Jason

1274
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:47,160
Speaker 2: will come back and we'll talk a little bit about

1275
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:50,640
Speaker 2: the AFC North. A lot of interesting teams in that

1276
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:54,560
Speaker 2: division as well. We'll discuss that next Before we do, though,

1277
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:56,120
Speaker 2: let's toss it over the news desk.

1278
01:03:56,120 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 3: Steve to say, we got some college football coming down

1279
01:03:58,280 --> 01:03:59,040
Speaker 3: to the wire here, my.

1280
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,120
Speaker 5: Friend, Absolutely we do. We've got double overtime a tie

1281
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:05,640
Speaker 5: with Wyoming hosting Texas Tech. More on that in a moment,

1282
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:08,560
Speaker 5: But also, guys, it seems like every Saturday there's more

1283
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:11,880
Speaker 5: to talk about. The phenomenal year the Atlanta Braves. Yeah,

1284
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 5: there is Ronald d'acunya. The Braves won their sixth in

1285
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:18,080
Speaker 5: a row a Arsia baby three run homer, top of

1286
01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:20,840
Speaker 5: the tenth for Orlando RCA four to the final over

1287
01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:23,680
Speaker 5: the Dodgers. But Ronald Acunya early in the game hit

1288
01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:27,880
Speaker 5: his thirty second homer a blast. A rocket went straight

1289
01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:30,840
Speaker 5: to center field in a hurry. Estimated to go four

1290
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:34,520
Speaker 5: hundred and fifty four feet, it went one hundred twenty

1291
01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:37,640
Speaker 5: one miles an hour off the bat, one twenty one

1292
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:40,920
Speaker 5: hardest hit ball this year in the major leagues. The

1293
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:43,120
Speaker 5: rookie pitcher who gave that up said, yeah, I saw

1294
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:46,040
Speaker 5: the numbers on that. That's crazy. Sounded like a jet

1295
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:51,600
Speaker 5: engine going by. Dodgers. Braves finished the four game series tomorrow.

1296
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:55,680
Speaker 5: Now I you properly. Aaron Torres raised an eyebrow, as

1297
01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:59,920
Speaker 5: did I that Laramie, Wyoming is hosting Texas Tech tonight

1298
01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:03,640
Speaker 5: population thirty two thousand, getting a home game. But I

1299
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:07,040
Speaker 5: do remember about fifteen years ago Texas and Mac Brown

1300
01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:11,200
Speaker 5: played at Wyoming, did beat them there. But it's gonna

1301
01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:14,160
Speaker 5: be Texas hosting Wyoming in a couple of weeks incidentally

1302
01:05:14,160 --> 01:05:16,640
Speaker 5: on their scheduleceful, but I looked it up and they

1303
01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:19,360
Speaker 5: will have September home games. Not only this year at

1304
01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:23,120
Speaker 5: Wyoming hosting Texas Tech again it's in double overtime right now,

1305
01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:27,400
Speaker 5: but next year in September byu Is at Wyoming that's

1306
01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:30,320
Speaker 5: a non conference game these days, and then Utah at

1307
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:31,919
Speaker 5: Wyoming in twenty twenty two.

1308
01:05:31,960 --> 01:05:34,640
Speaker 1: Know why, guys, I hate to spoil this for you,

1309
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:37,000
Speaker 1: but it's because they were back to back to back

1310
01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:40,600
Speaker 1: to back national champions in NCAA two thousand and four

1311
01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:46,280
Speaker 1: on Xbox three sixty oh. I dominated with that TEAMU.

1312
01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:49,720
Speaker 1: I first won three at Appalachian State, then I took

1313
01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:52,680
Speaker 1: a job at Southern Illinois and won five there, and

1314
01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:56,200
Speaker 1: then finished my Hall of Fame career at Wyoming, where

1315
01:05:56,240 --> 01:06:00,160
Speaker 1: I led the Cowboys to four consecutive undefeated seasons. Were

1316
01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:05,040
Speaker 1: National Championships amongst our three team dynas.

1317
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:07,080
Speaker 2: So in Utah and Texas Tech schedule these games. Those

1318
01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:09,640
Speaker 2: were considered big games on their schedules years.

1319
01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:12,960
Speaker 5: Okay, Ples, no idea what you were talking about. By

1320
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:16,040
Speaker 5: the way, Connecticut will finish up playing at Wyoming in

1321
01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:17,800
Speaker 5: twenty twenty six's scheduled.

1322
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 3: But I'm they go.

1323
01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:21,400
Speaker 5: As we were talking about Colorado and there's so much

1324
01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:23,480
Speaker 5: to talk about from last hour. There's one other thing.

1325
01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:25,040
Speaker 5: Did you see the graphic at the end of the

1326
01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:28,560
Speaker 5: game that said Colorado's offense last year had two one

1327
01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:31,880
Speaker 5: hundred yard receivers for the season. Yes, they had four

1328
01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:34,600
Speaker 5: players with one hundred yards receiving in this one game

1329
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:37,840
Speaker 5: to open the season. That's the first time in four

1330
01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:41,000
Speaker 5: years in college football wo that a team had had

1331
01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:44,880
Speaker 5: four hundred yard receivers in one game. The update on

1332
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:47,080
Speaker 5: the Wyoming game, and you might ask, why is this

1333
01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:49,680
Speaker 5: still going on? There is a weather delay at the start,

1334
01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:52,680
Speaker 5: so in double overtime, Texas Tech has taken the lead

1335
01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:56,120
Speaker 5: thirty three to twenty seven at Wyoming Cowboys with the ball.

1336
01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:59,600
Speaker 5: As for the other games in progress, notable that on

1337
01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:02,959
Speaker 5: F one right now BYU at home is still only

1338
01:07:03,040 --> 01:07:06,520
Speaker 5: leading seven nothing against Sam Houston about five minutes to

1339
01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:09,760
Speaker 5: go in the third quarter. At the Rose Bowl, Ucla

1340
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:13,560
Speaker 5: now fourteen to thirteen over Coastal Carolina. Mid third quarter,

1341
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:16,280
Speaker 5: it's a lead for Arizona of now thirty five to

1342
01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:20,360
Speaker 5: three against Northern Arizona. Late third halftime. San Diego State

1343
01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:24,120
Speaker 5: leads Idaho State twenty to thirteen. Number one Georgia over

1344
01:07:24,160 --> 01:07:27,720
Speaker 5: Tennessee Martin forty eight to seven tonight ut Martin with

1345
01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:31,880
Speaker 5: nine punts and ten penalties. Bulldogs led thirty one nothing

1346
01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 5: in the second quarter. Georgia is not scheduled to play

1347
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:40,280
Speaker 5: a ranked team until November eleventh. Ole Miss Number two

1348
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:43,600
Speaker 5: Michigan beat East Carolina thirty to three. Michigan led twenty

1349
01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:46,400
Speaker 5: three to nothing at the half. JJ McCarthy three touchdown

1350
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:50,360
Speaker 5: passes to Roman WILSONVEC McCarthy twenty six of thirty two

1351
01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:53,560
Speaker 5: hundred eighty yards and Blake Corum ten carries seventy three

1352
01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:56,840
Speaker 5: yards and a touchdown. Michigan could start nine to zero

1353
01:07:56,880 --> 01:07:59,560
Speaker 5: this year. It is not scheduled to face a ranked

1354
01:07:59,600 --> 01:08:04,280
Speaker 5: opponent until November eleventh, Also, when Michigan plays at Penn

1355
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:07,520
Speaker 5: State East Carolina in defeat kicked a thirty three yard

1356
01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:10,920
Speaker 5: field goal on the final play to avoid the shutout

1357
01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:14,360
Speaker 5: until the last drive. That team had eight drives, eight

1358
01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:18,919
Speaker 5: first downs, ten penalties. Earlier in the major leagues, Cleveland

1359
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:22,320
Speaker 5: won in eleven innings, Minnesota one in ten innings. Baltimore

1360
01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:27,600
Speaker 5: won again Colorado over Toronto eight to seven. Notable in

1361
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:30,240
Speaker 5: this one, there was an outfielder for the Rockies tonight,

1362
01:08:30,320 --> 01:08:33,640
Speaker 5: Brenton Doyle, who believe it or not, threw out a

1363
01:08:33,680 --> 01:08:35,800
Speaker 5: guy on the base pass and they clocked the throw

1364
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:38,800
Speaker 5: from the outfield at one hundred miles an hour. And

1365
01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:42,519
Speaker 5: there was another time, same game tonight where he kept

1366
01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:45,400
Speaker 5: a runner at third and the throw home from center

1367
01:08:45,479 --> 01:08:49,080
Speaker 5: was clocked at one to five. Needless to say, that's

1368
01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:52,800
Speaker 5: the fastest tracked outfield throw since they've had stat cast

1369
01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:54,080
Speaker 5: in the last five ten years.

1370
01:08:54,120 --> 01:08:56,439
Speaker 3: Back to you, Thank you very much, Steve Desager.

1375
01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:14,040

1376
01:09:14,280 --> 01:09:17,479
Speaker 2: which put up eighty one points today, actually plays at

1377
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:18,599
Speaker 2: Texas Tech next week.

1378
01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:20,120
Speaker 3: So Texas Tech.

1379
01:09:20,120 --> 01:09:23,439
Speaker 2: They lose this game, they could either they could fall

1380
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:25,160
Speaker 2: oh in two next week, or they could bounce back

1381
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:27,040
Speaker 2: with a very nice win. We will see, but we'll

1382
01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:30,439
Speaker 2: keep you updated on that. Wyoming has two plays here

1383
01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:33,719
Speaker 2: to score. They are boys six. Don't let me down.

1384
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:36,000
Speaker 3: They're down six, don't let don't let them down, Jason Martin.

1385
01:09:36,080 --> 01:09:37,519
Speaker 1: Yes. Two. By the way, I need to correct that

1386
01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:41,679
Speaker 1: was not Xbox three sixty. Okay, sure everybody has that accurately. Yes,

1387
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:44,320
Speaker 1: we in the record books. They need to be accurate.

1388
01:09:44,520 --> 01:09:49,120
Speaker 2: America is aggressively scratching out all right, PS three four,

1389
01:09:49,320 --> 01:09:53,519
Speaker 2: Xbox three sixty or whatever you said. Anyway, tell you what,

1390
01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:57,920
Speaker 2: Let's get back to some AFC football preview, Loraina, go ahead,

1391
01:09:57,960 --> 01:10:00,800
Speaker 2: give us a little bit more music here, and let's

1392
01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:05,920
Speaker 2: let's go to the AFC Norse. So I mean, I

1393
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:08,200
Speaker 2: can't sit here and say, Jason, it's the most interesting

1394
01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:09,080
Speaker 2: division in me.

1395
01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:11,679
Speaker 1: And it's hard to call though, That's what I'm saying,

1396
01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:12,559
Speaker 1: really hard to.

1397
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:15,040
Speaker 2: Call, Like, like, let me even start by saying this

1398
01:10:15,240 --> 01:10:19,720
Speaker 2: it is putting aside the fact that, I mean, let's

1399
01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:21,360
Speaker 2: be honest, their quarterbacks a total creep.

1400
01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:23,760
Speaker 3: But like even the Browns, like.

1401
01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:26,840
Speaker 2: I don't think they're gonna win it, and it was

1402
01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:30,800
Speaker 2: really bad last year with Deshaun Watson, but like, I

1403
01:10:30,920 --> 01:10:33,840
Speaker 2: don't think it's inconceivable that they're in the race down

1404
01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:35,320
Speaker 2: the stretch. And so I just bring it up to

1405
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:39,200
Speaker 2: say Cincinnati's favored. They should be favored, But all four

1406
01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:42,160
Speaker 2: of these teams, if the right things go the right way,

1407
01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:44,360
Speaker 2: you could see him being in contention late, could you not?

1408
01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:47,640
Speaker 1: Absolutely? I mean, people are very high on Pittsburgh. It

1409
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:50,200
Speaker 1: feels like going into the year, you finally have no

1410
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:53,080
Speaker 1: Greg Roman in Baltimore and Lamar is gonna it's gonna

1411
01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:55,240
Speaker 1: kind of be his offense, and we're gonna see exactly

1412
01:10:55,280 --> 01:10:58,040
Speaker 1: what that could look like. We know what the Bengals

1413
01:10:58,040 --> 01:10:59,920
Speaker 1: have been for the last handful of years, and so

1414
01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:03,320
Speaker 1: since they've had Burrow and then the Browns. The one

1415
01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:06,000
Speaker 1: thing that you thought when Deshaun was signed was well,

1416
01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:09,280
Speaker 1: if he's still good, if he's still and especially if

1417
01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:11,439
Speaker 1: he's still what he was the last time we saw

1418
01:11:11,479 --> 01:11:14,240
Speaker 1: him play football, they've got a coach who knows what

1419
01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:17,479
Speaker 1: to do, and they have a solid roster, so they

1420
01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:19,679
Speaker 1: could be pretty good, even if it would be hard

1421
01:11:19,760 --> 01:11:23,160
Speaker 1: to watch because of you know, those circumstances. It's not

1422
01:11:23,240 --> 01:11:26,559
Speaker 1: a team with a just a horrible team, like all

1423
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:28,600
Speaker 1: four of the all four of the teams in the

1424
01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:34,080
Speaker 1: division are at least halfway decent, if not much better

1425
01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:34,360
Speaker 1: than that.

1426
01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:37,759
Speaker 2: Don't disagree. Let me ask you a question you mentioned

1427
01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:41,240
Speaker 2: just a second ago, people being intrigued by Pittsburgh. Is

1428
01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:45,000
Speaker 2: there a little too Oh my goodness, we have ourselves

1429
01:11:45,120 --> 01:11:48,880
Speaker 2: a toe. Wyoming was down to the final play of

1430
01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:52,080
Speaker 2: the game. It was fourth down in double overtime. They

1431
01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:54,840
Speaker 2: were down six. They have just scored to tie it

1432
01:11:55,360 --> 01:11:56,400
Speaker 2: and extra.

1433
01:11:56,160 --> 01:11:58,679
Speaker 3: Point will win the game. They will beat Texas.

1434
01:11:58,720 --> 01:11:58,960
Speaker 1: Tech.

1435
01:11:59,360 --> 01:12:01,840
Speaker 2: Will keep you up there on that. Jason, back to

1436
01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:06,200
Speaker 2: the AFC North really quick. You feel like there's a

1437
01:12:06,200 --> 01:12:09,400
Speaker 2: little too much Kenny Pickett hype right now, Like he

1438
01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:12,120
Speaker 2: was good last year, but I you know, I was

1439
01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:12,760
Speaker 2: he that good.

1440
01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:13,559
Speaker 3: I feel like we.

1441
01:12:13,520 --> 01:12:15,360
Speaker 2: Talk about him so much because he's like the only

1442
01:12:15,439 --> 01:12:18,400
Speaker 2: quarterback that plays every preseason game. He was the only

1443
01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:22,479
Speaker 2: marquee rookie quarterback last year, and Pittsburgh's always kind of good,

1444
01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:24,679
Speaker 2: so you don't expect it to the bottom to fall out.

1445
01:12:25,040 --> 01:12:28,920
Speaker 2: But at the same time, I just I don't know,

1446
01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:32,840
Speaker 2: like I feel like there's maybe a little bit too.

1447
01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:34,559
Speaker 3: Much hype as far as I'm concerned. Am I crazy?

1448
01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:38,080
Speaker 1: No? I mean I think that he was he was

1449
01:12:38,160 --> 01:12:41,000
Speaker 1: better than serviceable last year, and he showed the right

1450
01:12:41,080 --> 01:12:43,880
Speaker 1: kind of flashes. And they always have skill talent in

1451
01:12:43,880 --> 01:12:48,040
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh in terms of receiving talent, especially t J. Watt

1452
01:12:48,040 --> 01:12:50,840
Speaker 1: was banged up a good bit last year. The offensive

1453
01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:54,840
Speaker 1: line was young, they had seen some exoduses over the

1454
01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:58,320
Speaker 1: last couple of years before that, and then you believe

1455
01:12:58,360 --> 01:13:01,519
Speaker 1: in the head coach, and matter of fact, I think

1456
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:03,400
Speaker 1: you believe in head coach there, You believe in head

1457
01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:05,679
Speaker 1: coach in Baltimore, and you increasingly believe in the head

1458
01:13:05,680 --> 01:13:08,200
Speaker 1: coach in Cincinnati. And the guy in Cleveland was Coach

1459
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:13,080
Speaker 1: of the Year a couple of years ago. So I

1460
01:13:13,120 --> 01:13:15,479
Speaker 1: think it's a little bit too much because I think

1461
01:13:15,560 --> 01:13:19,840
Speaker 1: pickett ceiling is not on the level of a lot

1462
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:22,800
Speaker 1: the lot of the guys in the AFC that he's

1463
01:13:22,800 --> 01:13:26,120
Speaker 1: gonna have to contend with. But I could see them

1464
01:13:26,160 --> 01:13:29,160
Speaker 1: being good. I just don't know that they can be

1465
01:13:29,439 --> 01:13:31,360
Speaker 1: great with Kenny Pickett at quarterback.

1466
01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:32,840
Speaker 3: My last little thought.

1467
01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:35,040
Speaker 2: By the way, we do have a final and Laramie

1468
01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:38,799
Speaker 2: Wyoming in what is the biggest win since Jason Martin

1469
01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:42,479
Speaker 2: took them to a third straight championship in Xbox three sixty,

1470
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:47,920
Speaker 2: the Wyoming Cowboys have won in double overtime against Texas Tech.

1471
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:52,800
Speaker 2: Thirty five to thirty three is the final score. Very

1472
01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:56,280
Speaker 2: interesting game. Texas Tech hosts Oregon next week. Oregon put

1473
01:13:56,360 --> 01:13:59,479
Speaker 2: up eighty one points this today, so that is the

1474
01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:02,800
Speaker 2: latest update in college football. Jason, really quick, We got

1475
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:04,559
Speaker 2: to make our picks. Give me thirty seconds to do

1476
01:14:04,640 --> 01:14:08,479
Speaker 2: a quick rant here. I'm so over the Lamar is

1477
01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:11,599
Speaker 2: disrespected narrative. He is no longer disrespected. He is now

1478
01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:14,439
Speaker 2: one of the highest paid quarterbacks in NFL history. It's

1479
01:14:14,520 --> 01:14:17,400
Speaker 2: time he won an MVP. It's time for him to

1480
01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:20,280
Speaker 2: play consistently for a full season. It's time for him

1481
01:14:20,280 --> 01:14:23,360
Speaker 2: to win in the playoffs. I'm over the Lamar Jackson narrative.

1482
01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:25,080
Speaker 2: And I'll just be really quick because we got to

1483
01:14:25,120 --> 01:14:28,800
Speaker 2: get to break here. But my pick on Sexy, we

1484
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:31,479
Speaker 2: didn't even talk about him. It's the Cincinnati Bengals mine too.

1485
01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:32,479
Speaker 1: We agree on this one.

1486
01:14:32,640 --> 01:14:35,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, anything to add on the Bengals. We didn't really

1487
01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:37,000
Speaker 2: talk about him only.

1488
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:39,240
Speaker 1: If Burrow's health is a problem. Is that not going

1489
01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:40,200
Speaker 1: to be the case in my.

1490
01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:43,759
Speaker 2: Opinion, I agree. Burrow's awesome. The skill position is awesome.

1491
01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:46,320
Speaker 2: The skill position guys are awesome. Joe Mixon taking less

1492
01:14:46,360 --> 01:14:49,080
Speaker 2: money to stay there because he believes in that team.

1493
01:14:49,720 --> 01:14:52,439
Speaker 2: Jason Martin and I have both picked the Cincinnati Bengals

1494
01:14:52,479 --> 01:14:55,920
Speaker 2: to win the AFC South come back. Jason, there are

1495
01:14:56,040 --> 01:14:58,680
Speaker 2: a couple news and notes from the NFL that I

1496

Speaker 2: do want to get to from this week. We'll discuss

Speaker 2: and the AFC North. We will get to the AFC

1507
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:44,280
Speaker 2: West and AFC South in the next hour, as well

1508
01:15:44,280 --> 01:15:46,479
Speaker 2: as our Super Bowl picks. Want to run through a

1509
01:15:46,479 --> 01:15:48,599
Speaker 2: couple other things, Jason, but it is worth noting there

1510
01:15:48,600 --> 01:15:52,680
Speaker 2: are still a couple college football games going on. Ucla

1511
01:15:52,880 --> 01:15:57,040
Speaker 2: at the Rose Bowl. They are playing Coastal Carolina. That

1512
01:15:57,040 --> 01:16:00,200
Speaker 2: one's a little interesting. Fourteen to thirteen is the score there.

1513
01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:04,720
Speaker 2: I think the thing that's noteworthy Ucla has played two quarterbacks,

1514
01:16:04,960 --> 01:16:08,679
Speaker 2: the veteran Ethan Garbers, but also Dante Moore, a five star.

1515
01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:13,120
Speaker 2: Has seen limited action, but it looks like he's not

1516
01:16:13,200 --> 01:16:15,840
Speaker 2: and it looks like he's been playing very well. Three

1517
01:16:15,960 --> 01:16:19,719
Speaker 2: or four passing fifty three yards one touchdown for him. Ucla,

1518
01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:22,240
Speaker 2: of course, coming off a nice nine win season a

1519
01:16:22,320 --> 01:16:26,360
Speaker 2: year ago. Ucla, by the way, Jason, another team. You know, listen,

1520
01:16:26,439 --> 01:16:28,439
Speaker 2: I'll say this is as we kind of transition back

1521
01:16:28,479 --> 01:16:31,280
Speaker 2: to the Pac twelve. It's not just Colorado, you know.

1522
01:16:31,400 --> 01:16:34,439
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams had another great game today. USC put up

1523
01:16:34,479 --> 01:16:38,680
Speaker 2: sixty six points. Washington looked awesome, Yeah they did. You know,

1524
01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:42,240
Speaker 2: Utah we just talked about on their Thursday night performance.

1525
01:16:42,800 --> 01:16:44,919
Speaker 2: It's a shame the Pac twelve could have survived. They

1526
01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:48,720
Speaker 2: finally have a very good product on the field in football,

1527
01:16:49,080 --> 01:16:51,240
Speaker 2: and UCLA is on the field now. It's just a

1528
01:16:51,280 --> 01:16:53,240
Speaker 2: shame that this league couldn't have held it together because

1529
01:16:53,240 --> 01:16:54,880
Speaker 2: there's a lot of good teams in that league this year.

1530
01:16:54,920 --> 01:16:56,960
Speaker 1: There are, and I mean we've talked about a number

1531
01:16:57,000 --> 01:16:59,280
Speaker 1: of them over the course of the show so far,

1532
01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:01,519
Speaker 1: but just to look at the quarterbacks, yep alone, I mean,

1533
01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:04,080
Speaker 1: you got Boonix, You've got Michael Pennix Junior, who I

1534
01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:07,040
Speaker 1: think is just incredible to watch. We already know what

1535
01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:09,000
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams is, and now you're gonna add to or

1536
01:17:09,120 --> 01:17:11,639
Speaker 1: Sanders on top of that, we hadn't even talked about

1537
01:17:11,680 --> 01:17:14,280
Speaker 1: Cam Rising, who of course hadn't played yet and he

1538
01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:16,160
Speaker 1: was a stud for the last couple of years at

1539
01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:19,559
Speaker 1: or at Utah. So and we haven't mentioned Oregon State.

1540
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:22,559
Speaker 1: That's a top twenty ranked team as well. Like there is,

1541
01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:25,720
Speaker 1: there's a lot of talent, as you just mentioned, but

1542
01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:30,599
Speaker 1: the quarterback spot, it's very glitzy amidst whatever the Pac

1543
01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:34,000
Speaker 1: twelve is this year, and it is it's like we're

1544
01:17:34,040 --> 01:17:36,800
Speaker 1: watching a it's like We're watching a fossil in front

1545
01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:39,400
Speaker 1: of us. It's kind of amazing, actually really quick.

1546
01:17:39,520 --> 01:17:41,000
Speaker 3: We didn't have a chance to talk about it. In

1547
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:41,679
Speaker 3: an hour one.

1548
01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:45,640
Speaker 2: North Carolina took care of business against South Carolina in

1549
01:17:46,040 --> 01:17:48,479
Speaker 2: a game in Charlotte. Why bring it up. You just

1550
01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:52,200
Speaker 2: mentioned all these great quarterbacks, Jason. I'm far from an

1551
01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:55,080
Speaker 2: NFL draft expert in any way, shape or form. But

1552
01:17:55,200 --> 01:17:57,599
Speaker 2: Drake May twenty four of thirty two to two hundred

1553
01:17:57,600 --> 01:17:59,920
Speaker 2: and sixty nine yards two touchdowns. Now, I did have

1554
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:03,160
Speaker 2: two interceptions, but both of them were plays where one

1555
01:18:03,160 --> 01:18:06,000
Speaker 2: of them went right off the wide receiver's fingertips. The

1556
01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:09,719
Speaker 2: other one really wasn't Drake May's fault. I know it's early,

1557
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:12,080
Speaker 2: but you know, this guy has been kind of deemed,

1558
01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:15,400
Speaker 2: you know, the guy right behind Caleb Williams in that

1559
01:18:15,560 --> 01:18:18,240
Speaker 2: NFL draft conversation. I thought it was a heck of

1560
01:18:18,280 --> 01:18:21,880
Speaker 2: a debut for him. Looked really good. You know, he's

1561
01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:23,840
Speaker 2: going up against the former number one quarterback in the

1562
01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:25,200
Speaker 2: country and Spencer Rattler.

1563
01:18:25,680 --> 01:18:28,000
Speaker 3: He was a star. I'll say this.

1564
01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:30,800
Speaker 2: You know, just sometimes in North Carolina game gets lost

1565
01:18:30,880 --> 01:18:34,200
Speaker 2: in the shuffle. I thought he looked really good tonight

1566
01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:35,200
Speaker 2: against South Carolina.

1567
01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:37,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, he did. He's going to be at the mercy

1568
01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:40,439
Speaker 1: of his football team, and his football team is very average.

1569
01:18:40,760 --> 01:18:43,519
Speaker 1: He is very not average, he is very above average.

1570
01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:45,920
Speaker 1: So whatever they do, I think he is going to

1571
01:18:45,960 --> 01:18:49,200
Speaker 1: look good in the process of the wins that they

1572
01:18:49,240 --> 01:18:52,000
Speaker 1: get and the points that they put up. I'm curious

1573
01:18:52,080 --> 01:18:54,000
Speaker 1: to see what their record is at the end of

1574
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:56,200
Speaker 1: the season and if it sticks to him at all

1575
01:18:56,280 --> 01:19:00,040
Speaker 1: in the process or you know, he could be he

1576
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:02,080
Speaker 1: will let us that deserves the hype, right like we'll

1577
01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:03,479
Speaker 1: let us come into the last year, got all the

1578
01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:06,320
Speaker 1: hype and then didn't do anything and then we saw

1579
01:19:06,320 --> 01:19:07,960
Speaker 1: where he went in the draft. Drake may is going

1580
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:10,559
Speaker 1: to be a top five pick barring injury, I would think,

1581
01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:14,200
Speaker 1: But I could also see a scenario where he's a

1582
01:19:14,240 --> 01:19:16,679
Speaker 1: top five pick playing for a team it's not even ranked.

1583
01:19:17,120 --> 01:19:19,360
Speaker 1: At the end of the season. I think the hype

1584
01:19:19,360 --> 01:19:22,800
Speaker 1: train is going to be relatively low just from football

1585
01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:25,000
Speaker 1: fans at the end of this year, and then during

1586
01:19:25,040 --> 01:19:27,760
Speaker 1: the draft process, you're gonna hear about him a heck

1587
01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:28,240
Speaker 1: of a lot.

1588
01:19:28,520 --> 01:19:29,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, it'll be interesting.

1589
01:19:29,520 --> 01:19:32,720
Speaker 2: North Carolina certainly has plenty of marquee games where he

1590
01:19:32,760 --> 01:19:34,759
Speaker 2: will have a chance to kind of show out against

1591
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:38,000
Speaker 2: some really good competition. They play Miami in a few weeks,

1592
01:19:38,040 --> 01:19:41,719
Speaker 2: they play Clemson late in the year, and.

1593
01:19:41,720 --> 01:19:43,240
Speaker 3: So it'll be interesting to watch.

1594
01:19:43,280 --> 01:19:43,439
Speaker 1: You know.

1595
01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:47,040
Speaker 2: Like I said, I'm not a draft guru by any stretch.

1596
01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:49,200
Speaker 3: I trust the evaluations of other people.

1597
01:19:49,240 --> 01:19:52,479
Speaker 2: But he looked really, really, really good and for people

1598
01:19:52,800 --> 01:19:56,280
Speaker 2: who haven't seen much of him, just a big kid,

1599
01:19:56,560 --> 01:19:59,600
Speaker 2: strong arm, you know, kind of like almost like the

1600
01:19:59,720 --> 01:20:03,080
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert frame. And you know, I know it's unfair

1601
01:20:03,120 --> 01:20:05,920
Speaker 2: to comparepair these guys to the best quarterbacks in the league,

1602
01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:08,320
Speaker 2: but that's just kind of who he reminds me of.

1603
01:20:08,360 --> 01:20:10,280
Speaker 3: Six foot four, big arm.

1604
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:10,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1605
01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:12,599
Speaker 2: I don't know if there's anything else to add there, Jason,

1606
01:20:12,600 --> 01:20:14,680
Speaker 2: but was really impressed by him early in that game.

1607
01:20:14,760 --> 01:20:17,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you could see why he's been talked

1608
01:20:17,560 --> 01:20:19,880
Speaker 1: about the way he has. I would like to see.

1609
01:20:20,280 --> 01:20:21,640
Speaker 1: I just want to see what the record is at

1610
01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:23,400
Speaker 1: the end of the year, because he's going to be

1611
01:20:23,439 --> 01:20:26,760
Speaker 1: so instrumental in it, if indeed they're really successful this year.

1612

Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Radio ertors Jason Martin, broadcasting live

Speaker 2: for Bernie Fratto. Chris Plank will follow us. Chris Blank

1624
01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:16,120
Speaker 2: left Bunny to talk about his Oklahoma Sooners won seventy

1625
01:21:16,280 --> 01:21:17,120
Speaker 2: three to nothing.

1626
01:21:17,360 --> 01:21:18,160
Speaker 1: You know who they beat?

1627
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:24,040
Speaker 3: I do, but tell America Butch Jones Arkansas State.

1628
01:21:24,160 --> 01:21:28,680
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, Butch who was a former Tennessee coach and

1629
01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:32,400
Speaker 1: not very popular in the state in which I call home,

1630
01:21:33,520 --> 01:21:37,759
Speaker 1: and then was put on the Nick Saban Rehabilitation Plan,

1631
01:21:38,320 --> 01:21:43,000
Speaker 1: which has been a godsend for so many subpar to

1632
01:21:43,160 --> 01:21:47,519
Speaker 1: average to mediocre head football coaches. And he goes to

1633
01:21:47,600 --> 01:21:50,040
Speaker 1: Arkansas State, which is a great program quite frankly and

1634
01:21:50,120 --> 01:21:52,439
Speaker 1: has been for a long time. I have some friends

1635
01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:56,559
Speaker 1: that went there and proceeds to get beat seventy three

1636
01:21:56,640 --> 01:22:00,320
Speaker 1: to nothing today and I can almost hear the after

1637
01:22:00,520 --> 01:22:05,320
Speaker 1: outside my window because it thundered throughout the Volunteer State

1638
01:22:05,439 --> 01:22:08,639
Speaker 1: all day long. Because anything that happens to Butch Jones

1639
01:22:09,120 --> 01:22:12,080
Speaker 1: as a head coach that is negative on the scoreboard

1640
01:22:12,680 --> 01:22:14,559
Speaker 1: is going to be celebrated in this state.

1641
01:22:15,400 --> 01:22:18,200
Speaker 2: I'll tell you a quick story, and this is in

1642
01:22:18,240 --> 01:22:20,000
Speaker 2: no way, shape or form a disrespect to one of

1643
01:22:20,040 --> 01:22:23,360
Speaker 2: our colleagues. But I remember the year that he got

1644
01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:28,200
Speaker 2: let go, which was the twenty seventeen football season. That

1645
01:22:28,360 --> 01:22:32,479
Speaker 2: was my first fall on Fox Sports Radio. At the time,

1646
01:22:32,520 --> 01:22:34,160
Speaker 2: I was just to fill in. I later ended up

1647
01:22:34,200 --> 01:22:36,080
Speaker 2: in this time slot with Arnie Spanier, and of course

1648
01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:38,200
Speaker 2: you and I are now, believe it or not, in

1649
01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:39,840
Speaker 2: our thirty year where I was just talking to Saga

1650
01:22:39,880 --> 01:22:42,000
Speaker 2: about I can't believe it's already year three for the

1651
01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:45,120
Speaker 2: two of us. But I was filling in one Saturday

1652
01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:48,559
Speaker 2: afternoon with Mark Willard and it was a game in

1653
01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:51,400
Speaker 2: which Butch Jones was a head coach at Tennessee and

1654
01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:55,320
Speaker 2: they lost forty one to nothing to Georgia. And it

1655
01:22:55,400 --> 01:22:57,360
Speaker 2: was very clear that that was a game that it

1656
01:22:57,400 --> 01:22:59,479
Speaker 2: was clear like this guy's not the guy, and this

1657
01:22:59,520 --> 01:23:02,000
Speaker 2: guy is not going to survive. And I remember like

1658
01:23:02,040 --> 01:23:04,519
Speaker 2: getting to it, getting into it on air with Mark Willard.

1659
01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:06,800
Speaker 2: Mark Willers like, you know, I don't call for another

1660
01:23:06,840 --> 01:23:09,240
Speaker 2: man's job, and it's that that's not what this is about.

1661
01:23:09,640 --> 01:23:11,200
Speaker 3: And I love Mark, so I'm not in any way

1662
01:23:11,200 --> 01:23:11,920
Speaker 3: shape for the way you.

1663
01:23:11,840 --> 01:23:14,240
Speaker 1: Know, who I'm hosting was to on Sunday Night.

1664
01:23:14,479 --> 01:23:17,280
Speaker 2: Mark Wellard, Baby, well you bring this up. No, I'm kidding.

1665
01:23:17,280 --> 01:23:19,680
Speaker 2: He wouldn't remember. But I love Mark, I really do.

1666
01:23:19,760 --> 01:23:21,479
Speaker 2: But he's like, I don't call for another man's job.

1667
01:23:21,479 --> 01:23:23,960
Speaker 2: And I'm like, but if a guy's really bad at

1668
01:23:23,960 --> 01:23:26,679
Speaker 2: his job, like he's paid millions, I'm not gonna feel

1669
01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:28,920
Speaker 2: bad because like, like I'm not you know, it's like

1670
01:23:29,160 --> 01:23:31,680
Speaker 2: if you suck at your job and my job is

1671
01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:34,760
Speaker 2: to talk about you. So I remember vividly, you know,

1672
01:23:34,880 --> 01:23:36,960
Speaker 2: like kind of where I was the moment that you

1673
01:23:37,040 --> 01:23:39,320
Speaker 2: kind of realized that it wasn't gonna work out for

1674
01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:42,920
Speaker 2: Butch Jones at Tennessee. They lost that game forty one

1675
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:44,320
Speaker 2: and nothing to Georgia. At the time, it was the

1676
01:23:44,320 --> 01:23:47,960
Speaker 2: worst loss ever for Tennessee. Oh, by the way, it

1677
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:51,880
Speaker 2: was nearly doubled today as Butch Jones's Arkansas State red

1678
01:23:51,880 --> 01:23:56,040
Speaker 2: Wolves lost seventy three to nothing to Oklahoma.

1679
01:23:56,080 --> 01:23:57,479
Speaker 1: But they're champions of life.

1680
01:23:58,120 --> 01:23:59,680
Speaker 2: They're champions of life. And you know who else is

1681
01:23:59,720 --> 01:24:01,680
Speaker 2: a chance being Chris Plank, who will be following us

1682
01:24:01,720 --> 01:24:03,840
Speaker 2: at the top of the hour, Jason, let's get back

1683
01:24:03,880 --> 01:24:06,880
Speaker 2: to the story of the day. Man, it was it

1684
01:24:06,920 --> 01:24:10,320
Speaker 2: was just so fun like it was just so fun,

1685
01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:12,880
Speaker 2: and we talked about it all off season. By the way,

1686
01:24:12,880 --> 01:24:14,280
Speaker 2: we talked about it in an hour one. Make sure

1687
01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:16,200
Speaker 2: to go back and down on the podcast. We're of

1688
01:24:16,240 --> 01:24:20,519
Speaker 2: course talking about Coach Prime Deon Sanders, Colorado and their

1689
01:24:20,600 --> 01:24:23,760
Speaker 2: debut earlier today they take care of business. They beat

1690
01:24:23,800 --> 01:24:27,560
Speaker 2: TCU forty five to forty two, and we talked a

1691
01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:29,040
Speaker 2: lot about in an hour one. Jason, I want to

1692
01:24:29,040 --> 01:24:32,120
Speaker 2: revisit a lot of that. But what I was just

1693
01:24:32,160 --> 01:24:37,080
Speaker 2: thinking about was, it's just so fascinating to me because

1694
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:39,840
Speaker 2: we spend so much time in the off season talking

1695
01:24:39,880 --> 01:24:42,040
Speaker 2: about Coach Prime, how's it gonna look, Is it gonna work,

1696
01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:42,800
Speaker 2: is it not gonna work?

1697
01:24:42,880 --> 01:24:43,720
Speaker 1: Is it this? Is it that?

1698
01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:48,519
Speaker 2: And you think about that debut and I get that one.

1699
01:24:48,560 --> 01:24:50,439
Speaker 2: He was a very successful coach before he got there.

1700
01:24:50,479 --> 01:24:52,120
Speaker 2: And two he brought a lot of good players with him.

1701
01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:53,880
Speaker 2: Shador Sanders, as I said in an Hour one, he

1702
01:24:53,920 --> 01:24:56,000
Speaker 2: was a quarterback that was offered by Alabama coming out

1703
01:24:56,000 --> 01:24:58,200
Speaker 2: of high school. Travis Hunnter. We know what his resume

1704
01:24:58,280 --> 01:25:01,640
Speaker 2: was coming out of high school. But for all of

1705
01:25:01,680 --> 01:25:04,880
Speaker 2: the hype, all of the consternation, all of the questions,

1706
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:05,559
Speaker 2: is this right?

1707
01:25:05,760 --> 01:25:06,320
Speaker 3: Is it wrong?

1708
01:25:06,479 --> 01:25:06,840
Speaker 1: Is it o?

1709
01:25:07,200 --> 01:25:09,800
Speaker 2: You know, is it too much to send that many

1710
01:25:09,840 --> 01:25:11,960
Speaker 2: guys into the portal and bring in this many guys?

1711
01:25:12,560 --> 01:25:15,120
Speaker 2: He lived up to the hype. He exceeded the hype.

1712
01:25:15,320 --> 01:25:17,959
Speaker 2: It's only one game. There's eleven more on the schedule.

1713
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:21,320
Speaker 2: We're not gonna but they played the defending national runners

1714
01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:23,960
Speaker 2: up on the road and got the win. It was

1715
01:25:24,080 --> 01:25:27,639
Speaker 2: so fun, it was so awesome. Credit to Dion Sanders

1716
01:25:27,720 --> 01:25:28,759
Speaker 2: and the Colorado Buffaloes.

1717
01:25:28,800 --> 01:25:32,519
Speaker 1: Absolutely again, that's a one win football team last year

1718
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:35,600
Speaker 1: against a top twenty ranked team on the road in

1719
01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:39,280
Speaker 1: their first game, with all the pressure on them, because

1720
01:25:39,320 --> 01:25:43,200
Speaker 1: they knew everybody was watching this waiting for a fall

1721
01:25:43,680 --> 01:25:47,519
Speaker 1: or the opposite in some cases, and they didn't just win,

1722
01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:50,840
Speaker 1: they did it in historic fashion. I'm not talking about

1723
01:25:51,240 --> 01:25:53,960
Speaker 1: they won by one hundred or this was the highest

1724
01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:56,799
Speaker 1: scoring game ever or anything. But you look at Shudor

1725
01:25:56,880 --> 01:26:00,680
Speaker 1: Sanders numbers thirty eight to forty seven, five hundred and

1726
01:26:00,680 --> 01:26:04,080
Speaker 1: ten yards and four touchdowns. This was a team that

1727
01:26:04,160 --> 01:26:06,680
Speaker 1: in their last twenty six games prior to the game

1728
01:26:06,680 --> 01:26:10,560
Speaker 1: against TCU on Saturday, had not eclipsed four hundred yards.

1729
01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:14,960
Speaker 1: That's over two football seasons, folks. They threw one guy

1730
01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:18,200
Speaker 1: threw for one hundred and ten more yards than that

1731
01:26:18,800 --> 01:26:21,360
Speaker 1: on Saturday alone, and then they added, you know, it

1732
01:26:21,400 --> 01:26:23,439
Speaker 1: wasn't great rushing, but they didn't need rushing the way

1733
01:26:23,479 --> 01:26:25,240
Speaker 1: they threw the football and the way they caught the

1734
01:26:25,280 --> 01:26:27,719
Speaker 1: football and the way they you know, took the ball

1735
01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:31,160
Speaker 1: away when they had to from TCU. But TCU is

1736
01:26:31,200 --> 01:26:33,400
Speaker 1: a program that we knew they lost a lot, but

1737
01:26:33,439 --> 01:26:36,120
Speaker 1: they weren't going to completely fall on their face. They

1738
01:26:36,200 --> 01:26:38,960
Speaker 1: certainly made some plays. But I think the most impressive

1739
01:26:39,000 --> 01:26:41,879
Speaker 1: thing about this game was Colorado looked like they belonged

1740
01:26:41,880 --> 01:26:45,040
Speaker 1: on the same field with TCU, and as a matter

1741
01:26:45,080 --> 01:26:48,000
Speaker 1: of fact, they just kind of looked like the faster,

1742
01:26:48,680 --> 01:26:52,519
Speaker 1: hungrier football team. And that's not the mo for the

1743
01:26:52,520 --> 01:26:55,880
Speaker 1: Colorado Buffalo's program in the last. I don't even know

1744
01:26:55,880 --> 01:26:58,320
Speaker 1: how many years there was a time where Colorado was

1745
01:26:58,400 --> 01:27:01,679
Speaker 1: well respected in college football, but it's been a long time.

1746
01:27:01,720 --> 01:27:03,760
Speaker 1: I want to say it was a late nineties, mid

1747
01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:08,599
Speaker 1: nineties somewhere in that neighborhood. This is progress. In one game,

1748
01:27:08,760 --> 01:27:11,639
Speaker 1: you saw progress. You saw the reason why you go

1749
01:27:11,680 --> 01:27:14,719
Speaker 1: and get Dion Sanders, and you saw the reason why

1750
01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:18,000
Speaker 1: if you go get Dion Sanders, you just quiet down

1751
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:20,240
Speaker 1: and let Dion do his thing. If it doesn't work, okay,

1752
01:27:20,760 --> 01:27:22,800
Speaker 1: But if you just bring in Dion and let him

1753
01:27:22,800 --> 01:27:25,720
Speaker 1: do his thing, it's like drafting a running quarterback and

1754
01:27:25,840 --> 01:27:28,160
Speaker 1: letting him run and not all of a sudden turning

1755
01:27:28,240 --> 01:27:31,080
Speaker 1: him into a pocket passer. Whatever you drafted him for

1756
01:27:31,400 --> 01:27:33,559
Speaker 1: is because of what he had done, not because of

1757
01:27:33,600 --> 01:27:36,559
Speaker 1: what you were going to craft him into. Dion doing

1758
01:27:36,600 --> 01:27:41,160
Speaker 1: it his way. Controversy or not, whatever people have to say,

1759
01:27:41,240 --> 01:27:43,679
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter because, as he said in the press

1760
01:27:43,680 --> 01:27:47,320
Speaker 1: conference after the game, no one is talking now, and

1761
01:27:47,360 --> 01:27:51,040
Speaker 1: it's true, but you can't say anything other than this

1762
01:27:51,360 --> 01:27:54,720
Speaker 1: was a big time W for Colorado.

1763
01:27:54,479 --> 01:27:58,320
Speaker 2: Big time W and just so much positive across the board. Now,

1764
01:27:58,360 --> 01:28:01,400
Speaker 2: listen again, it's not perfect. It shouldn't be perfect when

1765
01:28:01,439 --> 01:28:04,559
Speaker 2: you I think the status sixty eight new players.

1766
01:28:04,600 --> 01:28:06,879
Speaker 3: I could be wrong on this, that is crazy.

1767
01:28:07,040 --> 01:28:09,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wrote it down because they mentioned it on

1768
01:28:09,960 --> 01:28:12,960
Speaker 2: the broadcast. It might have quote unquote only been fifty eight.

1769
01:28:13,040 --> 01:28:14,679
Speaker 2: I know it was a big number with an eight

1770
01:28:14,720 --> 01:28:18,600
Speaker 2: attached to it, so maybe fifty eight. But regardless is

1771
01:28:18,720 --> 01:28:21,160
Speaker 2: what what stood out to me is and by again,

1772
01:28:21,400 --> 01:28:24,040
Speaker 2: it wasn't perfect. We're not saying they're going twelve and ozho. Okay,

1773
01:28:24,200 --> 01:28:27,120
Speaker 2: everybody calm down. But at the same time, what I

1774
01:28:27,240 --> 01:28:30,040
Speaker 2: noticed was not only the stats and Shador Sanders did

1775
01:28:30,040 --> 01:28:33,760
Speaker 2: this and Travis Hunter did that, but I thought they

1776
01:28:33,880 --> 01:28:37,280
Speaker 2: just looked like the more well coached, well prepared football team,

1777
01:28:37,439 --> 01:28:40,880
Speaker 2: And that to me is so impressive because of not

1778
01:28:40,920 --> 01:28:44,120
Speaker 2: only all the new names, but the new coaches. I mean,

1779
01:28:44,600 --> 01:28:48,320
Speaker 2: you know, this isn't the same coaching staff from Jackson State.

1780
01:28:48,400 --> 01:28:51,280
Speaker 2: The offensive coordinator has never worked with Deon Sanders before

1781
01:28:51,280 --> 01:28:54,720
Speaker 2: this year. The defensive coordinator came from Alabama. That was

1782
01:28:54,760 --> 01:28:57,320
Speaker 2: I think more than anything. I'm not saying it's the

1783
01:28:57,360 --> 01:29:00,000
Speaker 2: biggest takeaway because Travis Hunter is probably the biggest take

1784
01:29:00,200 --> 01:29:03,200
Speaker 2: should or Sanders is probably the biggest taway. But what

1785
01:29:03,240 --> 01:29:06,840
Speaker 2: I think really stands out is there was nothing, as

1786
01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:09,400
Speaker 2: you just said, Jason, that was fluky about it. It

1787
01:29:09,479 --> 01:29:13,160
Speaker 2: is replicable to have a really good quarterback with really

1788
01:29:13,160 --> 01:29:16,920
Speaker 2: good skill position talent around him, with a smart scheme

1789
01:29:17,040 --> 01:29:19,479
Speaker 2: that got the ball out of his hands very quickly

1790
01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:21,960
Speaker 2: so he's not sitting there in the pocket getting killed

1791
01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:25,720
Speaker 2: because an offensive line is a weakness. It's replicable to

1792
01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:28,439
Speaker 2: do that again and again and again in the season.

1793
01:29:28,439 --> 01:29:30,519
Speaker 2: Not saying they're gonna go twelve to zero, but you

1794
01:29:30,560 --> 01:29:33,400
Speaker 2: start looking at that schedule. Yeah, Utah is gonna be

1795
01:29:33,400 --> 01:29:35,479
Speaker 2: really tough because Utah is good. Yeah, Oregon's gonna be

1796
01:29:35,479 --> 01:29:37,759
Speaker 2: really tough because Oregon's good. They took care of business

1797
01:29:37,760 --> 01:29:41,320
Speaker 2: tonight by putting up eighty one points the Oregon Ducks did.

1798
01:29:41,880 --> 01:29:43,320
Speaker 2: But I mean, you look at some of those coin

1799
01:29:43,360 --> 01:29:45,599
Speaker 2: toss games. I mean, look at UCLA right now, It's

1800
01:29:45,640 --> 01:29:48,040
Speaker 2: twenty to thirteen at the Rose Bowl. You mean to

1801
01:29:48,120 --> 01:29:51,920
Speaker 2: tell me that Ucla, that Colorada has no chance against Ucla.

1802
01:29:52,200 --> 01:29:53,960
Speaker 2: You mean to tell me they have no chance against

1803
01:29:53,960 --> 01:29:56,240
Speaker 2: an Arizona State team that isn't very good on paper,

1804
01:29:56,479 --> 01:29:59,400
Speaker 2: a Stanford team that isn't very good on paper. I

1805
01:29:59,479 --> 01:30:03,000
Speaker 2: just think, by the way, a Nebraska team that put

1806
01:30:03,080 --> 01:30:06,560
Speaker 2: up ten points last on Thursday night, and the touchdown

1807
01:30:06,600 --> 01:30:10,280
Speaker 2: that they scored was a Fluke FuMB fumble pass.

1808
01:30:10,120 --> 01:30:11,599
Speaker 3: That was picked up. That this and that.

1809
01:30:12,280 --> 01:30:15,240
Speaker 2: So I just look at this, this whole situation. I say,

1810
01:30:15,920 --> 01:30:18,519
Speaker 2: I do feel like the ceiling feels a lot higher

1811
01:30:18,560 --> 01:30:20,840
Speaker 2: to me than it was even twenty four hours ago.

1812
01:30:21,280 --> 01:30:25,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's absolutely right. And they they talked afterwards,

1813
01:30:26,040 --> 01:30:28,840
Speaker 1: and they talked on the field, So you're gonna have

1814
01:30:28,880 --> 01:30:30,479
Speaker 1: to deal with that if you're not a fan of it.

1815
01:30:30,520 --> 01:30:34,120
Speaker 1: I mean, just Dion had some great lines. Hunter had

1816
01:30:34,160 --> 01:30:36,080
Speaker 1: some great lines, all of them.

1817
01:30:36,120 --> 01:30:38,160
Speaker 3: Did Snor did too.

1818
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:41,519
Speaker 1: I mean snapped a shot on his phone of a

1819
01:30:41,560 --> 01:30:46,200
Speaker 1: stat sheet just to just to take another receipt. And Dion,

1820
01:30:46,320 --> 01:30:48,719
Speaker 1: you know, he went after the media that criticized him

1821
01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:54,679
Speaker 1: for putting his son in q SQB one and talked about, how, look,

1822
01:30:54,880 --> 01:30:56,680
Speaker 1: this is what we did there, so we did at

1823
01:30:56,720 --> 01:30:59,439
Speaker 1: Jackson State. Now there's just more cameras. Like what we've

1824
01:30:59,479 --> 01:31:03,200
Speaker 1: been doing, we've been preparing. Nothing changes here. We just

1825
01:31:03,240 --> 01:31:05,519
Speaker 1: have more eyes on us now, which is right. I mean,

1826
01:31:05,520 --> 01:31:10,479
Speaker 1: that's absolutely true. He also said. Dion also said he's

1827
01:31:10,479 --> 01:31:12,559
Speaker 1: got guys now he thinks should be on the Heisman

1828
01:31:12,640 --> 01:31:16,160
Speaker 1: watch list, And Travis Hunter said, people laughed when I

1829
01:31:16,160 --> 01:31:18,080
Speaker 1: said I should be number one on the Heisman list

1830
01:31:18,120 --> 01:31:21,000
Speaker 1: before the season. Now what are they saying? It's just

1831
01:31:21,560 --> 01:31:25,360
Speaker 1: it's interesting, it's fascinating. It's one game. They didn't beat Georgia.

1832
01:31:25,400 --> 01:31:27,959
Speaker 1: They beat TCU. We saw what Georgia did to TCU.

1833
01:31:28,120 --> 01:31:29,840
Speaker 1: Just throw that out there last year and that was

1834
01:31:29,840 --> 01:31:35,280
Speaker 1: a better TCU team than this one is. But until

1835
01:31:35,360 --> 01:31:38,519
Speaker 1: they really really suffer and have a four win season

1836
01:31:38,600 --> 01:31:41,000
Speaker 1: or something, they're probably gonna talk a good bit because

1837
01:31:41,040 --> 01:31:43,800
Speaker 1: they were maligned a lot during the offseason. They were

1838
01:31:43,840 --> 01:31:45,920
Speaker 1: talked about a lot because there's a lot to say,

1839
01:31:46,600 --> 01:31:49,320
Speaker 1: but a lot of it was skepticism or negativity and

1840
01:31:49,360 --> 01:31:51,599
Speaker 1: all this. And they shut a lot of people's mouths

1841
01:31:51,640 --> 01:31:53,280
Speaker 1: in Week one. Now, if they go fall on their

1842
01:31:53,280 --> 01:31:55,840
Speaker 1: face over the next three weeks, we'll see. But they

1843
01:31:55,880 --> 01:31:58,680
Speaker 1: do have a schedule where I easily could see a

1844
01:31:58,760 --> 01:32:01,360
Speaker 1: team that looked the way looked with the athletes that

1845
01:32:01,400 --> 01:32:04,120
Speaker 1: he's been able to bring in. If they can play

1846
01:32:04,160 --> 01:32:07,120
Speaker 1: in this in this way, with their hair on fire,

1847
01:32:07,640 --> 01:32:09,320
Speaker 1: this is this is an eight and four kind of

1848
01:32:09,320 --> 01:32:13,400
Speaker 1: football team, And again, not a championship contender. But if

1849
01:32:13,400 --> 01:32:16,439
Speaker 1: they finish eight and four, this dude's gonna walk away

1850
01:32:16,439 --> 01:32:17,280
Speaker 1: with Coach of the Year.

1851
01:32:17,439 --> 01:32:20,040
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean I think if you get I think,

1852
01:32:20,080 --> 01:32:23,000
Speaker 2: if you get to a bowl game, it's that's probably right. Yeah, yeah,

1853
01:32:23,040 --> 01:32:25,200
Speaker 2: it's it's it's unbelievable. And then oh, by the way,

1854
01:32:25,320 --> 01:32:27,960
Speaker 2: he had a bunch of extra practices with a bowl game. Uh,

1855
01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:30,320
Speaker 2: and you get to build momentum for the twenty twenty

1856
01:32:30,360 --> 01:32:31,080
Speaker 2: four season.

1857
01:32:31,560 --> 01:32:31,680
Speaker 5: Uh.

1858
01:32:31,800 --> 01:32:32,960
Speaker 2: But I don't want to get too far ahead of

1859
01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:37,080
Speaker 2: ourselves really quick, Jason. When the when the lines opened

1860
01:32:37,160 --> 01:32:41,160
Speaker 2: up in the summer, Week two Nebraska at Colorado, Nebraska

1861
01:32:41,200 --> 01:32:44,720
Speaker 2: was a slight favorite. I'm guessing when the week one

1862
01:32:44,800 --> 01:32:47,160
Speaker 2: line a week two lines officially come out tomorrow, that's

1863
01:32:47,200 --> 01:32:48,680
Speaker 2: not gonna be the case. Do you think they take

1864
01:32:48,720 --> 01:32:50,880
Speaker 2: care of business based on what we saw of those

1865
01:32:50,920 --> 01:32:52,160
Speaker 2: two teams this weekend?

1866
01:32:52,479 --> 01:32:54,680
Speaker 1: I mean, certainly the talk is going to be in

1867
01:32:54,720 --> 01:32:57,000
Speaker 1: one direction about one of them and a completely opposite

1868
01:32:57,040 --> 01:33:00,000
Speaker 1: direction about the other one. As long as as long

1869
01:33:00,040 --> 01:33:01,920
Speaker 1: long as Colorado can kind of shut that out and

1870
01:33:01,960 --> 01:33:06,120
Speaker 1: do their thing, Colorado has just got better, Allen. They

1871
01:33:06,160 --> 01:33:08,280
Speaker 1: just got Yeah, exactly, they got dudes they got more

1872
01:33:08,360 --> 01:33:12,200
Speaker 1: dudes than Matt Rule has dues? Right now? Could I

1873
01:33:12,240 --> 01:33:15,360
Speaker 1: see Nebraska coming in there and you know, reminding us

1874
01:33:15,360 --> 01:33:17,680
Speaker 1: that there's still a process here, Yes, but I will

1875
01:33:17,720 --> 01:33:18,480
Speaker 1: pick Colorado.

Speaker 2: Earlier in the show, Jason Martin and I continued our

1896
01:34:20,439 --> 01:34:23,960
Speaker 2: preview of the NFL last week. We did our NFC

1897
01:34:24,720 --> 01:34:28,000
Speaker 2: playoff predictions. We had the same four picks in the NFC,

1898
01:34:28,080 --> 01:34:30,840
Speaker 2: the Eagles to win the NFC East, the Lions to

1899
01:34:30,880 --> 01:34:33,720
Speaker 2: win the North Carolina to win the NFC South, and

1900
01:34:34,040 --> 01:34:37,599
Speaker 2: San Francisco to win the NFC West. Earlier in the show,

1901
01:34:37,640 --> 01:34:40,559
Speaker 2: we did our a We started with the AFC and

1902
01:34:40,600 --> 01:34:44,559
Speaker 2: we we had our first differing opinion on the AFC East.

1903
01:34:44,600 --> 01:34:47,960
Speaker 2: I took the Jets, Jason Martin took the Bills. In

1904
01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:51,719
Speaker 2: the AFC North, we had the Cincinnati Bengals, both of us.

1905
01:34:52,160 --> 01:34:58,520
Speaker 2: Let's keep it going, Jason, Let's go to the AFC West.

1906
01:34:59,240 --> 01:34:59,839
Speaker 1: Just excited.

1907
01:35:00,080 --> 01:35:02,960
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, we know what the narratives are.

1908
01:35:03,640 --> 01:35:06,679
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what we know the igning obviously Super

1909
01:35:06,720 --> 01:35:09,880
Speaker 2: Bowl champs are there, the Kansas City Chiefs. So I'm

1910
01:35:09,920 --> 01:35:12,639
Speaker 2: going to give you the floor. As our resident Denver

1911
01:35:12,680 --> 01:35:18,000
Speaker 2: Broncos fan Sean Payton is in. Russell Wilson in limited

1912
01:35:18,120 --> 01:35:22,320
Speaker 2: time seem to be more comfortable with this organization during

1913
01:35:22,360 --> 01:35:25,200
Speaker 2: the preseason. What are you hoping to see out of

1914
01:35:25,240 --> 01:35:26,640
Speaker 2: your Denver Broncos.

1915
01:35:29,280 --> 01:35:33,080
Speaker 1: I mean, the cheap like five cent answer is a

1916
01:35:33,080 --> 01:35:37,799
Speaker 1: super Bowl is going to happen. The ten cent answer

1917
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:40,080
Speaker 1: is a division title, and I think that's going to

1918
01:35:40,160 --> 01:35:43,599
Speaker 1: happen either. Can we get double digit wins? That'd be great.

1919
01:35:44,360 --> 01:35:46,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's even feasible, honestly, Like I mean,

1920
01:35:47,360 --> 01:35:49,519
Speaker 1: the way receivers have dropped for the Broncos in the

1921
01:35:49,600 --> 01:35:54,320
Speaker 1: preseason has been problematic. I'm not sure for us as

1922
01:35:54,360 --> 01:35:57,360
Speaker 1: the guy anymore. I'm really not. I want to see

1923
01:35:57,360 --> 01:35:59,200
Speaker 1: what Sean Payton do with him. I'm sure it's going

1924
01:35:59,240 --> 01:36:01,240
Speaker 1: to look better than a last year, but how much better?

1925
01:36:01,640 --> 01:36:04,040
Speaker 1: And he's in a division where two quarterbacks are for

1926
01:36:04,040 --> 01:36:06,599
Speaker 1: sure better than he is at this stage in their career,

1927
01:36:06,720 --> 01:36:09,080
Speaker 1: and where he finds himself at his age and everything else.

1928
01:36:09,520 --> 01:36:11,840
Speaker 1: I think there's going to be somewhat of a better

1929
01:36:11,920 --> 01:36:13,800
Speaker 1: version of Russell Wilson. I just don't know what the

1930
01:36:13,800 --> 01:36:17,519
Speaker 1: ceiling is, but I would be happy if this was

1931
01:36:17,560 --> 01:36:20,000
Speaker 1: a ten win season for the Broncos. That would show me,

1932
01:36:20,800 --> 01:36:23,400
Speaker 1: you know, the pieces are still potentially in place. I

1933
01:36:23,439 --> 01:36:25,759
Speaker 1: believe in Sean Payton, and I believe in his vision

1934
01:36:26,320 --> 01:36:28,280
Speaker 1: long term, and he's going to be there for a

1935
01:36:28,280 --> 01:36:31,679
Speaker 1: while unless he chooses otherwise, and it's gonna be his show.

1936
01:36:32,640 --> 01:36:34,840
Speaker 1: I think he's limited a little bit right now by

1937
01:36:34,880 --> 01:36:39,240
Speaker 1: his quarterback until further notice. I am willing and will

1938
01:36:39,280 --> 01:36:41,120
Speaker 1: be happily so to be proved wrong.

1939
01:36:41,479 --> 01:36:45,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, And obviously the other thing with Denver is the

1940
01:36:45,520 --> 01:36:48,800
Speaker 2: wide receiver injuries in the fall camp or in the

1941
01:36:48,840 --> 01:36:51,840
Speaker 2: summer camp. Excuse me, Jerry Judy the latest to get

1942
01:36:51,840 --> 01:36:54,280
Speaker 2: a little bit banged up. So we will keep you

1943
01:36:54,360 --> 01:36:56,960
Speaker 2: updated on that. Tim Patrick of course earlier in the

1944
01:36:57,280 --> 01:37:02,880
Speaker 2: off season as well about the good old Los Angeles Chargers.

1945
01:37:03,280 --> 01:37:07,559
Speaker 2: I'll just say this, my stance on Brandon Staley is

1946
01:37:07,600 --> 01:37:08,080
Speaker 2: out there.

1947
01:37:08,439 --> 01:37:10,200
Speaker 1: It's been out identical to mine.

1948
01:37:10,800 --> 01:37:14,040
Speaker 2: Yes, for people who have not heard that stance, Jason

1949
01:37:14,040 --> 01:37:15,960
Speaker 2: and I were actually on air during the meltdown with

1950
01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:19,880
Speaker 2: the Jacksonville Jaguars last year on that Saturday of wild

1951
01:37:19,920 --> 01:37:23,519
Speaker 2: Card weekend. But you know, listen, I get that Kellen Morrison,

1952
01:37:24,240 --> 01:37:26,599
Speaker 2: I get that we all like Justin Herbert. I get

1953
01:37:26,600 --> 01:37:28,679
Speaker 2: that we like a lot of the other talent around

1954
01:37:28,760 --> 01:37:32,880
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert. I just don't trust Brandon Staley. The bottom line,

1955
01:37:33,560 --> 01:37:35,599
Speaker 2: I just look at it, and what I've said from

1956
01:37:35,640 --> 01:37:38,040
Speaker 2: day one is he was the analytics guy two years

1957
01:37:38,080 --> 01:37:41,440
Speaker 2: ago and then last year, and by the way it backfired.

1958
01:37:41,560 --> 01:37:44,000
Speaker 2: We all saw the Sunday night Week eighteen game against

1959
01:37:44,000 --> 01:37:47,960
Speaker 2: the against the Vegas Raiders. But then last year, I thought,

1960
01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:50,880
Speaker 2: because he got so much pushback about the analytics, then

1961
01:37:50,880 --> 01:37:54,160
Speaker 2: he became the sort of analytics guy that doesn't really

1962
01:37:54,200 --> 01:37:57,120
Speaker 2: believe in the nonsense that he's spewing, and then he

1963
01:37:57,240 --> 01:38:00,400
Speaker 2: was weird. Sometimes he goes forward, and sometimes he and

1964
01:38:00,439 --> 01:38:03,160
Speaker 2: sometimes he plays by the analytics, and sometimes he doesn't.

1965
01:38:03,960 --> 01:38:05,640
Speaker 2: I think this is just a classic case of a

1966
01:38:05,680 --> 01:38:09,599
Speaker 2: guy we all know. He was off the Sean McVay

1967
01:38:09,640 --> 01:38:12,839
Speaker 2: coaching tree. Everybody wants the next iteration of Sean McVay,

1968
01:38:13,960 --> 01:38:17,040
Speaker 2: and I just I don't see head coach.

1969
01:38:17,240 --> 01:38:18,320
Speaker 3: I don't see alpha.

1970
01:38:18,439 --> 01:38:22,559
Speaker 2: I don't see guy that has you know, the like

1971
01:38:22,680 --> 01:38:26,439
Speaker 2: go back to Sean paytone, that dude is pulling every

1972
01:38:26,479 --> 01:38:29,080
Speaker 2: single string in dendos and maybe it'll work out and

1973
01:38:29,120 --> 01:38:32,320
Speaker 2: maybe it won't. I don't see fifty three guys in

1974
01:38:32,360 --> 01:38:35,759
Speaker 2: that Los Angeles locker room all falling behind Brandon Staley,

1975
01:38:36,120 --> 01:38:38,519
Speaker 2: hanging on to every single word that comes out of

1976
01:38:38,560 --> 01:38:42,480
Speaker 2: his mouth. I don't trust him. Maybe they make the playoffs,

1977
01:38:42,479 --> 01:38:45,599
Speaker 2: but I think it's gonna be a lot of basically

1978
01:38:45,600 --> 01:38:47,760
Speaker 2: what we've seen from the past from from him in

1979
01:38:47,800 --> 01:38:49,280
Speaker 2: this organization the last two years.

1980
01:38:49,280 --> 01:38:50,400
Speaker 3: I think we see it again this year.

1981
01:38:50,560 --> 01:38:53,160
Speaker 1: Totally agree. I think they made a mistake, but it's

1982
01:38:53,160 --> 01:38:55,320
Speaker 1: a mistake the Chargers often make when it comes to

1983
01:38:55,360 --> 01:39:01,479
Speaker 1: spending money, especially on a non quarterback. They paid Herbert

1984
01:39:01,520 --> 01:39:05,120
Speaker 1: as they should have, but they have handicapped him with

1985
01:39:05,240 --> 01:39:08,479
Speaker 1: a head coach that is a coordinator, and he's gonna

1986
01:39:08,520 --> 01:39:10,799
Speaker 1: go back to being a great coordinator after this fails.

1987
01:39:11,200 --> 01:39:13,680
Speaker 1: But he's not a head coach. He's just not. And

1988
01:39:13,760 --> 01:39:16,720
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore or no Kellen Moore, I also saw it

1989
01:39:16,800 --> 01:39:19,879
Speaker 1: tomes Dallas look kind of ragged offensively. Yep. Now Herbert's

1990
01:39:19,920 --> 01:39:22,400
Speaker 1: better than Dak, but I also don't think that Kellen

1991
01:39:22,479 --> 01:39:26,599
Speaker 1: Moore is the second coming of Andy Reid. So what's

1992
01:39:26,640 --> 01:39:29,599
Speaker 1: gonna give here? I would say the Chargers and Broncos

1993
01:39:29,640 --> 01:39:31,680
Speaker 1: are fighting it out for second in the division, and

1994
01:39:31,760 --> 01:39:34,519
Speaker 1: that might be closer than Chargers fans want to admit.

1995
01:39:35,960 --> 01:39:39,439
Speaker 1: The Raiders just don't have enough. I just don't see it.

1996
01:39:39,600 --> 01:39:43,519
Speaker 1: Even if Jimmy g remains healthy and certainly he's going

1997
01:39:43,560 --> 01:39:46,000
Speaker 1: to be a steadying force to some degree, you lose Waller,

1998
01:39:46,080 --> 01:39:49,400
Speaker 1: that hurts a lot. The Chiefs are going to win

1999
01:39:49,479 --> 01:39:53,840
Speaker 1: this division again. As boring as it sounds, that football

2000
01:39:53,880 --> 01:39:56,080
Speaker 1: team is the best team in the league. And it's

2001
01:39:56,240 --> 01:39:56,960
Speaker 1: just the way it is.

2002
01:39:57,720 --> 01:40:01,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and let's get to the chiefshom qu Obviously Chris

2003
01:40:02,000 --> 01:40:03,639
Speaker 2: Jones is still in a little bit of a holdout.

2004
01:40:03,680 --> 01:40:06,280
Speaker 3: But all I would say about them, and this.

2005
01:40:06,160 --> 01:40:08,200
Speaker 2: Is another take that anyone who's heard us in this

2006
01:40:08,320 --> 01:40:10,479
Speaker 2: time slot has heard me say before.

2007
01:40:11,120 --> 01:40:14,320
Speaker 3: But I so let me just be quick.

2008
01:40:14,400 --> 01:40:18,280
Speaker 2: I'm the guy that's done ever criticizing this team for

2009
01:40:18,320 --> 01:40:20,400
Speaker 2: pretty much anything. I was the guy that at this

2010
01:40:20,520 --> 01:40:23,880
Speaker 2: time last year they're gonna miss Diyreek Hill. They weren't

2011
01:40:23,880 --> 01:40:27,000
Speaker 2: great for stretches last year. This is the year they

2012
01:40:27,040 --> 01:40:29,880
Speaker 2: finally take a step back. And even all the way

2013
01:40:29,880 --> 01:40:32,519
Speaker 2: through the playoffs, all the way up until they played

2014
01:40:32,520 --> 01:40:35,679
Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Bengals, and I came on air and I said, well,

2015
01:40:35,720 --> 01:40:40,639
Speaker 2: if Cincinnati beats Case again and Burrow beats Mahomes again,

2016
01:40:40,680 --> 01:40:41,640
Speaker 2: then it means.

2017
01:40:41,400 --> 01:40:42,479
Speaker 3: This and it means that.

2018
01:40:43,080 --> 01:40:44,800
Speaker 2: And then I saw them go toe for toe and

2019
01:40:44,840 --> 01:40:47,720
Speaker 2: play an awesome, awesome game in the playoffs, and that's

2020
01:40:47,760 --> 01:40:51,599
Speaker 2: when it hit me, I need to stop like Mahomes

2021
01:40:51,680 --> 01:40:55,240
Speaker 2: is awesome, the Chiefs are awesome. Sometimes you just have

2022
01:40:55,320 --> 01:40:58,400
Speaker 2: to appreciate greatness. And so yes, I'm not gonna beat

2023
01:40:58,400 --> 01:41:00,120
Speaker 2: around the bush. I'm not gonna try to sell it

2024
01:41:00,160 --> 01:41:01,760
Speaker 2: as anything other than it is. I have a new

2025
01:41:01,760 --> 01:41:04,679
Speaker 2: found appreciation for the Chiefs after another Super Bowl run,

2026
01:41:04,960 --> 01:41:08,080
Speaker 2: after not missing a beat without Tyreek Hill last year,

2027
01:41:09,320 --> 01:41:12,200
Speaker 2: love everything about him, and then the least surprising news ever,

2028
01:41:12,240 --> 01:41:13,320
Speaker 2: they're my division champs.

2029
01:41:13,400 --> 01:41:15,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, we're gonna agree here. I felt like

2030
01:41:15,320 --> 01:41:18,479
Speaker 1: we'd probably go to into depending on how we went

2031
01:41:18,520 --> 01:41:20,360
Speaker 1: with the North. I don't think we probably agree on

2032
01:41:20,400 --> 01:41:23,160
Speaker 1: the South. That we'll see, But this one's easy to me.

2033
01:41:24,000 --> 01:41:25,840
Speaker 1: It's hard for me as a Denver Broncos fan. But

2034
01:41:25,880 --> 01:41:28,080
Speaker 1: at the same time, look, you got my Homes, you

2035
01:41:28,160 --> 01:41:31,400
Speaker 1: got Andy Reid, you got a good chance. The enemy

2036
01:41:31,520 --> 01:41:33,599
Speaker 1: is not there. We'll see if that has an effect

2037
01:41:33,640 --> 01:41:35,599
Speaker 1: on it. But I still think they're gonna be churning

2038
01:41:35,680 --> 01:41:38,719
Speaker 1: and burning. They're gonna be fine. Kelsey's telling Chris Jones

2039
01:41:38,760 --> 01:41:40,920
Speaker 1: he needs to get back because they need him. I

2040
01:41:40,960 --> 01:41:43,720
Speaker 1: mean they do, but they don't need him immediately like

2041
01:41:43,800 --> 01:41:46,200
Speaker 1: he'll be there. They'll figure that out. I have no

2042
01:41:47,960 --> 01:41:50,240
Speaker 1: concern that they will get that figured out. And Kansas

2043
01:41:50,280 --> 01:41:52,720
Speaker 1: City is gonna be everybody's nightmare all year like they

2044
01:41:52,760 --> 01:41:54,519
Speaker 1: have been for the last four or five years.

2045
01:41:54,800 --> 01:41:58,760
Speaker 2: We are now through seven divisions of eight. Jason and

2046
01:41:58,760 --> 01:42:02,160
Speaker 2: I agree on six of the seven. The only one

2047
01:42:02,200 --> 01:42:04,679
Speaker 2: that we have not agreed on the AFC East, where

2048
01:42:04,680 --> 01:42:08,759
Speaker 2: I have the Jets winning. Jason Martin has the Buffalo Bills.

2049
01:42:09,160 --> 01:42:12,840
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Aeron Tours Jason Martin, we are broadcasting

2050
01:42:12,880 --> 01:42:16,040
Speaker 2: live from the Tireck dot Com studios, Fox Football Live.

2051
01:42:16,439 --> 01:42:19,240
Speaker 2: Coming up, we will give our final divisional preview that is,

2052
01:42:19,280 --> 01:42:22,759
Speaker 2: of course, the AFC South. Before we do though news

2053
01:42:22,800 --> 01:42:26,400
Speaker 2: desk final time this evening, Steve de Sager, the floor

2054
01:42:26,520 --> 01:42:26,960
Speaker 2: is yours.

2055
01:42:27,000 --> 01:42:30,080
Speaker 5: And that was a very well reasoned and more detailed

2056
01:42:30,160 --> 01:42:34,280
Speaker 5: Brandon Staley segment that you had just there, more so

2057
01:42:34,479 --> 01:42:36,519
Speaker 5: than some of the guys I hear on the air

2058
01:42:36,640 --> 01:42:40,240
Speaker 5: who lazily talk about just hey, he goes for it

2059
01:42:40,280 --> 01:42:42,479
Speaker 5: too much, and he's the part that's not the problem

2060
01:42:42,520 --> 01:42:46,240
Speaker 5: with the Chargers in their two years they can't run

2061
01:42:46,800 --> 01:42:49,160
Speaker 5: and they can't stop the run. Sure you mentioned he

2062
01:42:49,240 --> 01:42:51,760
Speaker 5: was on Sean McVay staff. The only reason he got

2063
01:42:51,800 --> 01:42:54,360
Speaker 5: this job exactly was he was the defensive coordinator of

2064
01:42:54,439 --> 01:42:57,320
Speaker 5: the number one ranked defense. And his two years with

2065
01:42:57,400 --> 01:43:00,360
Speaker 5: the Chargers, they're bottom five in the league against run,

2066
01:43:00,960 --> 01:43:05,680
Speaker 5: which means those two problems both came to ahead in

2067
01:43:05,720 --> 01:43:08,040
Speaker 5: that playoff game you reference where they got the huge

2068
01:43:08,040 --> 01:43:11,439
Speaker 5: early lead when Jacksonville was awful early. Can't run the ball,

2069
01:43:11,640 --> 01:43:15,360
Speaker 5: can't protect the lead, can't stop the run. Opponents will

2070
01:43:15,360 --> 01:43:16,080
Speaker 5: always come back.

2071
01:43:16,200 --> 01:43:19,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but what do you know about the Chargers stage exactly?

2072
01:43:20,200 --> 01:43:25,040
Speaker 5: I speak from experience. Those are the problems other hosts.

2073
01:43:25,400 --> 01:43:28,640
Speaker 5: You know, it's like a squirrel being distracted by you know,

2074
01:43:28,800 --> 01:43:31,519
Speaker 5: you know what is it? The dog sees the squirrel

2075
01:43:31,560 --> 01:43:35,400
Speaker 5: and then mid sentence he stops, or the shiny object

2076
01:43:35,479 --> 01:43:38,840
Speaker 5: is hey, you know he he goes for it too much. Yeah,

2077
01:43:38,960 --> 01:43:41,040
Speaker 5: that cost him the Kansas City game his first year.

2078
01:43:41,080 --> 01:43:43,639
Speaker 5: But going forward also won them the game at Kansas

2079
01:43:43,640 --> 01:43:46,360
Speaker 5: City early in the season. That's not the major problem.

2080
01:43:46,479 --> 01:43:49,479
Speaker 5: Those two are the major problems. And also, to answer

2081
01:43:49,560 --> 01:43:51,960
Speaker 5: your question from earlier of why in the world is

2082
01:43:52,000 --> 01:43:56,280
Speaker 5: Texas Tech playing at Wyoming. USA today says they agreed

2083
01:43:56,400 --> 01:43:59,439
Speaker 5: a decade ago to a two game series home and home,

2084
01:44:00,120 --> 01:44:02,320
Speaker 5: got pushed back because of COVID, and so the game

2085
01:44:02,360 --> 01:44:05,560
Speaker 5: in Laramie was tonight and five years from now Wyoming

2086
01:44:05,600 --> 01:44:07,439
Speaker 5: will play at Texas Tech.

2087
01:44:07,560 --> 01:44:10,200
Speaker 1: Do you really need to agree a decade to go

2088
01:44:10,320 --> 01:44:12,400
Speaker 1: to a home at home with Wyoming?

2089
01:44:12,560 --> 01:44:12,640
Speaker 2: Like?

2090
01:44:12,760 --> 01:44:15,280
Speaker 1: Is that where we need to get scheduled ten years?

2091
01:44:15,280 --> 01:44:17,000
Speaker 5: And it takes that long to hike there?

2092
01:44:17,200 --> 01:44:20,200
Speaker 3: I seem like such a great idea. In two thousand.

2093
01:44:19,880 --> 01:44:24,719
Speaker 5: Eleven, and you mentioned the Pac twelve quarterbacks. They've thrown

2094
01:44:24,720 --> 01:44:28,559
Speaker 5: about forty touchdown passes already this season, which AP says

2095
01:44:28,640 --> 01:44:31,040
Speaker 5: is the most for any conference by the end of

2096
01:44:31,080 --> 01:44:35,839
Speaker 5: week one in this century. And that includes Colorado's Shadoor Sanders,

2097
01:44:35,880 --> 01:44:38,760
Speaker 5: who starred as the Buffalo's won at TCU forty five

2098
01:44:38,880 --> 01:44:42,800
Speaker 5: forty two to as he did against a ranked team,

2099
01:44:42,920 --> 01:44:46,680
Speaker 5: have five hundred yards passing, four touchdowns and no interceptions

2100
01:44:47,360 --> 01:44:49,240
Speaker 5: in the last five to seven years. That had only

2101
01:44:49,320 --> 01:44:51,960
Speaker 5: happened twice. Bryce Young and Will Greer.

2102
01:44:53,439 --> 01:44:55,880
Speaker 1: Buddy, Will Greer, he has been all over the show

2103
01:44:55,920 --> 01:44:59,439
Speaker 1: of last two weeks has been the Will Greer experience.

2104
01:44:59,600 --> 01:45:02,280
Speaker 5: And it's as far as points from a back twelve offense.

2105
01:45:02,520 --> 01:45:06,599
Speaker 5: The Oregon Ducks today eighty one to seven over Portland State.

2106
01:45:07,280 --> 01:45:10,320
Speaker 5: Somebody counted that the Oregon Duck mascot who does the

2107
01:45:10,360 --> 01:45:13,840
Speaker 5: pushups after touchdowns, did five hundred and forty six push

2108
01:45:13,960 --> 01:45:16,639
Speaker 5: ups at that game Portland.

2109
01:45:16,760 --> 01:45:19,559
Speaker 1: No way, that's the same guy, Steve. They change out

2110
01:45:19,600 --> 01:45:20,919
Speaker 1: after every touchdown.

2111
01:45:21,439 --> 01:45:23,600
Speaker 5: Well, the first thirty five minutes of the game or so,

2112
01:45:23,680 --> 01:45:26,920
Speaker 5: Oregon had scored nine touchdowns. They were up sixty four

2113
01:45:26,960 --> 01:45:30,080
Speaker 5: to seven. By then, Portland State had nine punts, nine

2114
01:45:30,120 --> 01:45:34,600
Speaker 5: first downs. Oregon had thirty eight first downs. Everybody you

2115
01:45:34,680 --> 01:45:37,080
Speaker 5: expected to win in the top ten did, including Penn

2116
01:45:37,080 --> 01:45:39,640
Speaker 5: State tonight thirty eight to fifteen over West Virginia. It

2117
01:45:39,680 --> 01:45:42,120
Speaker 5: was only fourteen to seven in the third quarter. Number

2118
01:45:42,120 --> 01:45:44,720
Speaker 5: three Ohio State was only up at Indiana seven to

2119
01:45:44,760 --> 01:45:47,640
Speaker 5: three just before halftime, only thirteen to three late in

2120
01:45:47,680 --> 01:45:50,360
Speaker 5: the third quarter, but twenty three to three the final,

2121
01:45:50,840 --> 01:45:53,439
Speaker 5: and the Hoosiers have lost to Ohio State now twenty

2122
01:45:53,520 --> 01:45:58,719
Speaker 5: eight straight times, the longest active streak in an FBS series.

2123
01:45:59,000 --> 01:46:01,200
Speaker 5: As for the games going about a minute to go

2124
01:46:01,320 --> 01:46:05,120
Speaker 5: on FS one BYU at home leads Sam Houston fourteen

2125
01:46:05,240 --> 01:46:08,400
Speaker 5: to nothing. Ucla with three and a half minutes to

2126
01:46:08,439 --> 01:46:11,360
Speaker 5: go at the Rose Bowl leads Coastal Carolina twenty four

2127
01:46:11,400 --> 01:46:14,639
Speaker 5: to thirteen. The hot prospect, freshman quarterback Dante More from

2128
01:46:14,680 --> 01:46:18,080
Speaker 5: Detroit has played some at QB for the Bruins off

2129
01:46:18,120 --> 01:46:21,559
Speaker 5: the bench, two touchdowns and one interception. He was pressured

2130
01:46:21,600 --> 01:46:24,360
Speaker 5: and threw a pick in the end zone. We had

2131
01:46:24,760 --> 01:46:28,519
Speaker 5: Notre Dame fifty six to three over Tennessee State, USC

2132
01:46:28,760 --> 01:46:33,439
Speaker 5: sixty six fourteen over Nevada, Alabama, fifty six to seven

2133
01:46:33,640 --> 01:46:38,280
Speaker 5: over Middle Tennessee, Georgia beat Tennessee Martin forty eight to seven.

2134
01:46:38,960 --> 01:46:43,839
Speaker 5: Kansas State shutout Southeast Missouri forty five nothing, Oklahoma seventy

2135
01:46:43,920 --> 01:46:47,799
Speaker 5: three nothing over Arkansas State, Ole miss beat Mercer seventy

2136
01:46:47,880 --> 01:46:50,080
Speaker 5: three seven. So these would all be what we know

2137
01:46:50,200 --> 01:46:53,800
Speaker 5: as guarantee games, where you pay the opponent to come

2138
01:46:53,800 --> 01:46:57,439
Speaker 5: play you. Forbes magazine said last night the FS one

2139
01:46:57,479 --> 01:47:00,760
Speaker 5: game Michigan State hosted and beat Central Man. They said

2140
01:47:00,760 --> 01:47:05,240
Speaker 5: Michigan State paid Central Michigan one point seventy five million

2141
01:47:05,320 --> 01:47:08,400
Speaker 5: dollars to come play that game. There was a quote

2142
01:47:08,479 --> 01:47:10,880
Speaker 5: up on the screen tonight as New Mexico lost at

2143
01:47:10,920 --> 01:47:13,040
Speaker 5: Texas A and M fifty two to ten. A quote

2144
01:47:13,040 --> 01:47:15,600
Speaker 5: from the New Mexico coach about how important it was

2145
01:47:15,680 --> 01:47:18,679
Speaker 5: to take this game for their athletic department.

2146
01:47:18,720 --> 01:47:21,920
Speaker 1: It is no pay like the rest of their sports

2147
01:47:21,960 --> 01:47:22,439
Speaker 1: for the year.

2148
01:47:22,960 --> 01:47:25,120
Speaker 5: By doing that, it is huge. I remember when the

2149
01:47:25,120 --> 01:47:27,479
Speaker 5: Big West had football. They used to used to happen

2150
01:47:27,600 --> 01:47:30,280
Speaker 5: all the time, Like how State Fullerton going to LSU

2151
01:47:30,439 --> 01:47:33,320
Speaker 5: or Florida didn't matter if you got Rock fifty to ten.

2152
01:47:33,400 --> 01:47:36,400
Speaker 5: It really meant something to the bottom line. Final note

2153
01:47:36,400 --> 01:47:41,720
Speaker 5: on college football. Norfolk State played today context. They were

2154
01:47:41,800 --> 01:47:45,000
Speaker 5: one and nine last year until they won their finale.

2155
01:47:45,439 --> 01:47:48,880
Speaker 5: They were close today playing Division two Virginia State, only

2156
01:47:48,960 --> 01:47:52,080
Speaker 5: down three, but Virginia State had the ball in its

2157
01:47:52,080 --> 01:47:53,760
Speaker 5: own end on a fourth down. They weren't going to

2158
01:47:53,800 --> 01:47:55,880
Speaker 5: punt from their own end zone. So the quarterback just

2159
01:47:55,960 --> 01:47:58,439
Speaker 5: takes the ball on fourth down, run sideways in the

2160
01:47:58,560 --> 01:48:01,680
Speaker 5: end zone. You think he's going to run out the clock. Instead,

2161
01:48:01,720 --> 01:48:04,639
Speaker 5: he goes out of the end zone and goes out

2162
01:48:04,640 --> 01:48:06,960
Speaker 5: of bounds, thinking the clock had run out. It did not.

2163
01:48:07,160 --> 01:48:09,559
Speaker 5: There was one second left and it was fourth down,

2164
01:48:09,880 --> 01:48:12,840
Speaker 5: and he didn't get the first down. That turns the

2165
01:48:12,840 --> 01:48:15,479
Speaker 5: ball over to Norfolk State. They get a chance to

2166
01:48:15,560 --> 01:48:18,640
Speaker 5: kick a short field goal and send it to overtime.

2167
01:48:19,360 --> 01:48:21,800
Speaker 5: This was the call as they line up for the

2168
01:48:21,840 --> 01:48:24,240
Speaker 5: short field goal on ESPN Plus.

2169
01:48:26,240 --> 01:48:27,880
Speaker 1: It gets away from the holder.

2170
01:48:29,200 --> 01:48:33,880
Speaker 5: No kick, Virginia Stove takes it. The opponent gets it

2171
01:48:33,920 --> 01:48:36,480
Speaker 5: and runs it back the other way for a touchdown

2172
01:48:36,560 --> 01:48:39,000
Speaker 5: with no time left. Instead of a three point win,

2173
01:48:39,160 --> 01:48:43,200
Speaker 5: it's a nine point win and it's another Norfolk State defeat.

2174
01:48:43,560 --> 01:48:45,720
Speaker 5: The late ballgame went to the Braves, who won sixth

2175
01:48:45,720 --> 01:48:48,160
Speaker 5: straight homer in the tenth beat the Dodgers four to two.

2176
01:48:48,240 --> 01:48:51,160
Speaker 2: Back to you, thank you very much, Steve de Seger,

2177
01:48:51,439 --> 01:48:55,320
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, Fox Sports Saturday, Eric Torres, Jason Martin

2178
01:48:55,360 --> 01:48:58,720
Speaker 2: broadcasting live from the tire rack dot Com studios. We

2179
01:48:58,760 --> 01:49:02,799
Speaker 2: do have another score or in Los Angeles, the UCLA

2180
01:49:02,840 --> 01:49:06,479
Speaker 2: Bruins kick field goal. They're up twenty seven thirteen under

2181
01:49:06,520 --> 01:49:10,000
Speaker 2: four minutes to go in that one. UCLA looks like

2182
01:49:10,040 --> 01:49:13,760
Speaker 2: they will improve to one and oh this season a

2183
01:49:13,760 --> 01:49:15,519
Speaker 2: couple games left. We'll kind of get you the scores

2184
01:49:15,560 --> 01:49:20,360
Speaker 2: as they go. Final, Jason, we got one division left

2185
01:49:20,680 --> 01:49:22,360
Speaker 2: the right. When you get a minute, give us a

2186
01:49:22,360 --> 01:49:25,080
Speaker 2: little music, put us in the mood and let's talk

2187
01:49:25,120 --> 01:49:28,799
Speaker 2: the AFC South because you said something interesting last segment.

2188
01:49:28,840 --> 01:49:31,759
Speaker 2: You said you think that we might disagree on this one.

2189
01:49:32,439 --> 01:49:34,520
Speaker 2: So who do you got one in the AFC South.

2190
01:49:34,320 --> 01:49:37,479
Speaker 1: That's not sure? I don't have the Colts. Oh really,

2191
01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:39,880
Speaker 1: I could see. I'm not kidding, Jim ir say.

2192
01:49:39,760 --> 01:49:42,400
Speaker 3: When they die the NF, everyone's gonna forget about us.

2193
01:49:42,720 --> 01:49:45,559
Speaker 1: That guy. I'm not kidding when I say this. If

2194
01:49:45,560 --> 01:49:49,360
Speaker 1: the Colts finish last in the South, I wouldn't be shocked, don't.

2195
01:49:49,680 --> 01:49:51,800
Speaker 1: I think they could be a four win team this year.

2196
01:49:51,800 --> 01:49:53,960
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding you. I think they I think they

2197
01:49:53,960 --> 01:49:55,880
Speaker 1: are right for a really bad year.

2198
01:49:56,960 --> 01:50:00,439
Speaker 2: I just saying, no, I don't disagree be because it's

2199
01:50:00,439 --> 01:50:01,680
Speaker 2: not just the rookie quarterback.

2200
01:50:02,000 --> 01:50:03,320
Speaker 3: It's the rookie quarterback that.

2201
01:50:03,280 --> 01:50:05,960
Speaker 2: Really is a project and probably shouldn't project and doesn't

2202
01:50:06,000 --> 01:50:08,960
Speaker 2: have a lot yeah out there to help him kind

2203
01:50:09,000 --> 01:50:10,479
Speaker 2: of grow really fast.

2204
01:50:10,800 --> 01:50:12,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's exactly it. I mean, we had a stat

2205
01:50:12,960 --> 01:50:13,519
Speaker 3: the other night.

2206
01:50:13,720 --> 01:50:16,000
Speaker 2: I forget to sagre if it was you or somebody else,

2207
01:50:16,040 --> 01:50:19,280
Speaker 2: but I think it was like the lowest completion percentage

2208
01:50:19,439 --> 01:50:22,200
Speaker 2: as a college you know, a draft.

2209
01:50:21,840 --> 01:50:24,960
Speaker 1: D fifty percent, Wasn't it something like that.

2210
01:50:25,040 --> 01:50:27,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's not to say that the tools aren't there,

2211
01:50:27,760 --> 01:50:30,760
Speaker 2: but it's to say he was. He was a project

2212
01:50:30,840 --> 01:50:33,559
Speaker 2: in college. Now he's in the NFL, and now he

2213
01:50:33,640 --> 01:50:36,120
Speaker 2: has no real help around him. Especially we know now

2214
01:50:36,200 --> 01:50:38,640
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor's on the pup list, so he's not going

2215
01:50:38,720 --> 01:50:39,599
Speaker 2: to be around for a while.

2216
01:50:39,640 --> 01:50:42,639
Speaker 1: And look, Stikeen, Look Stikeen did a lot for Jalen Hurts,

2217
01:50:43,080 --> 01:50:44,640
Speaker 1: and you bring him in and you want him to

2218
01:50:44,680 --> 01:50:47,439
Speaker 1: do the same thing for Anthony Richardson. Well, in order

2219
01:50:47,479 --> 01:50:50,559
Speaker 1: for that to really project the way you want it to,

2220
01:50:50,800 --> 01:50:53,919
Speaker 1: you also want to bring aj Brown and Devonte Smith

2221
01:50:54,439 --> 01:50:56,679
Speaker 1: and those guys along with him. And you've got Michael

2222
01:50:56,720 --> 01:51:01,960
Speaker 1: Pittman Junior, who I like. And you've got Michael Pittman junior.

2223
01:51:02,400 --> 01:51:04,280
Speaker 1: And again, like you mentioned, Tay, it was not even

2224
01:51:04,320 --> 01:51:06,840
Speaker 1: healthy to start the season. They're in a place that's

2225
01:51:06,880 --> 01:51:10,439
Speaker 1: really awkward as well. The defense is not great and

2226
01:51:10,520 --> 01:51:12,960
Speaker 1: the offensive line is piecemeal. I do not like the

2227
01:51:13,000 --> 01:51:14,000
Speaker 1: Colts whatsoever.

2228
01:51:14,280 --> 01:51:17,320
Speaker 2: Really quick, before we get to our picks, do you

2229
01:51:17,360 --> 01:51:20,240
Speaker 2: have any excitement at all about the Texans? Obviously the

2230
01:51:20,280 --> 01:51:23,919
Speaker 2: new regime, CJ. Stroud officially named the starter Will Anderson,

2231
01:51:23,920 --> 01:51:26,160
Speaker 2: the number three overall pick. You have any excitement about that?

2232
01:51:26,800 --> 01:51:30,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm curious to see it. I don't have much.

2233
01:51:31,240 --> 01:51:32,960
Speaker 1: I don't think it's got a very high ceiling in

2234
01:51:32,960 --> 01:51:35,640
Speaker 1: the short term. But I like Dmiko Ryans like I

2235
01:51:37,120 --> 01:51:39,799
Speaker 1: like him getting this opportunity, and I think it could work.

2236
01:51:40,120 --> 01:51:42,759
Speaker 1: I don't know how much, but they just the cupboard

2237
01:51:42,840 --> 01:51:46,719
Speaker 1: was very bare when he got there, and unlike college,

2238
01:51:46,760 --> 01:51:48,479
Speaker 1: it doesn't work the same way with nil and all

2239
01:51:48,479 --> 01:51:50,240
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So it is going to take

2240
01:51:50,280 --> 01:51:52,680
Speaker 1: some time for Demiko Ryans. I don't think this is

2241
01:51:52,720 --> 01:51:54,280
Speaker 1: going to be the year where we see a ton

2242
01:51:54,320 --> 01:51:54,919
Speaker 1: of progress.

2243
01:51:55,160 --> 01:51:57,960
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to it. Who is officially your

2244
01:51:58,120 --> 01:51:59,439
Speaker 2: AFC South pick?

2245
01:51:59,680 --> 01:52:02,360
Speaker 1: Okay, So Jacksonville, we saw what they did last year.

2246
01:52:02,479 --> 01:52:06,080
Speaker 1: We all love Trevor Lawrence. I love Trevor Lawrence. I

2247
01:52:06,160 --> 01:52:09,639
Speaker 1: like ATN. I really like their head coach. I believe

2248
01:52:09,640 --> 01:52:12,280
Speaker 1: a lot in Doug Peterson. You know what, I'm gonna

2249
01:52:12,280 --> 01:52:14,719
Speaker 1: need to see it again before I pick it. I've

2250
01:52:14,760 --> 01:52:17,320
Speaker 1: seen what Mike Vrabel can do when his team is

2251
01:52:17,439 --> 01:52:20,080
Speaker 1: not the most talented team in the division on paper.

2252
01:52:21,120 --> 01:52:24,680
Speaker 1: I think this year, I think bringing in DeAndre Hopkins

2253
01:52:24,720 --> 01:52:28,879
Speaker 1: means a lot for this football team. I'm gonna take Tennessee. Actually,

2254
01:52:29,400 --> 01:52:31,559
Speaker 1: I just feel like that's a team that's been there

2255
01:52:31,560 --> 01:52:34,040
Speaker 1: and done that a little bit more than Jacksonville. I

2256
01:52:34,040 --> 01:52:36,799
Speaker 1: think Jacksonville might have a little bit too much hype.

2257
01:52:37,200 --> 01:52:41,840
Speaker 1: I want to see if they can consistently do what

2258
01:52:42,040 --> 01:52:44,880
Speaker 1: was inconsistent at first and started to gel towards the

2259
01:52:45,000 --> 01:52:46,920
Speaker 1: end of last year. I just need to see more

2260
01:52:47,360 --> 01:52:50,040
Speaker 1: I believe. I believe more right now in the Titans.

2261
01:52:50,040 --> 01:52:51,160
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna take Tennessee.

2262
01:52:51,400 --> 01:52:54,120
Speaker 2: You know, it's actually a very compelling argument, just from

2263
01:52:54,160 --> 01:52:57,719
Speaker 2: the perspective of what Mike Vrabel has done in previous years.

2264
01:52:57,880 --> 01:53:00,800
Speaker 2: Also with the fact that the jackson probably are a

2265
01:53:00,840 --> 01:53:04,639
Speaker 2: little bit overrated. Like the narrative, it's another one. It's

2266
01:53:04,680 --> 01:53:06,519
Speaker 2: gotten to be like a little bit too much in

2267
01:53:06,560 --> 01:53:08,599
Speaker 2: my opinion. Like I'm seeing a lot of people say

2268
01:53:08,720 --> 01:53:11,160
Speaker 2: just because of the division, like they think they could

2269
01:53:11,200 --> 01:53:12,360
Speaker 2: be the number one seed.

2270
01:53:13,040 --> 01:53:15,240
Speaker 3: I don't know that. I see that. I will be

2271
01:53:15,360 --> 01:53:15,960
Speaker 3: boring though.

2272
01:53:16,080 --> 01:53:20,040
Speaker 2: I will pick the Jacksonville Jaguars, and it's because of

2273
01:53:20,080 --> 01:53:23,879
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence, the best quarterback in the division. Doug Peterson

2274
01:53:23,920 --> 01:53:26,000
Speaker 2: knows what he's doing. Adult in the room.

2275
01:53:25,880 --> 01:53:26,759
Speaker 1: All that stuff.

2276
01:53:26,920 --> 01:53:30,160
Speaker 2: Yes, but I'll tell you, you know, you did give me call,

2277
01:53:30,400 --> 01:53:33,000
Speaker 2: you did give me pause for concern. But for the

2278
01:53:33,000 --> 01:53:35,120
Speaker 2: sake of being a little bit different on another division,

2279
01:53:35,160 --> 01:53:38,280
Speaker 2: I'll go ahead and take the Jacksonville Jaguars. So we

2280
01:53:38,360 --> 01:53:40,679
Speaker 2: disagree on the AFC East, where you have the Bills,

2281
01:53:40,680 --> 01:53:42,759
Speaker 2: I have the Jets. We disagree on the AFC South,

2282
01:53:43,240 --> 01:53:46,280
Speaker 2: where you have the Titans, I have the Jags.

2283
01:53:46,560 --> 01:53:47,759
Speaker 3: We agree everywhere else.

2284
01:53:48,400 --> 01:53:50,799
Speaker 2: We have the Eagles in the NFC East, the Lions

2285
01:53:50,840 --> 01:53:53,719
Speaker 2: in the NFC North, the Panthers in the NFC South,

2286
01:53:53,760 --> 01:53:55,840
Speaker 2: and the forty nine Ers in the NFC West. We

2287
01:53:55,960 --> 01:53:59,559
Speaker 2: also have the Kansas City Chiefs and the Least Surprising

2288
01:53:59,600 --> 01:54:03,800
Speaker 2: News in the AFC West, and the Cincinnati Bengals in

2289
01:54:03,880 --> 01:54:07,880
Speaker 2: the AFC North. Fox Football Live erators Jason Martin, we

2290
01:54:07,960 --> 01:54:11,200
Speaker 2: got one segment left. We're going to make our Super

2291
01:54:11,240 --> 01:54:14,280
Speaker 2: Bowl picks, but we'll also make our pick for the

2292
01:54:14,280 --> 01:54:18,200
Speaker 2: big Game tomorrow night. LSU Florida State will preview that

2293
01:54:18,360 --> 01:54:19,599
Speaker 2: give our Super Bowl picks.

2294
01:54:20,040 --> 01:54:20,679
Speaker 1: That's next.

2297

Speaker 1: touchdown number four this.

01:54:39,720 --> 01:54:41,440
Speaker 3: One of forty six yards.

2303
01:54:41,680 --> 01:54:45,320
Speaker 7: Oh, it's prime time for Colorado football.

2304
01:54:46,440 --> 01:54:49,120
Speaker 3: That call courtesy a lear Field. That was Mark Johnson

2305
01:54:49,240 --> 01:54:50,080
Speaker 3: on lear Field.

2306
01:54:50,080 --> 01:54:53,720
Speaker 2: That was the game winning score for the Colorado Buffaloes

2307
01:54:53,720 --> 01:54:57,120
Speaker 2: who defeated the TCU Horned Frogs. And that was our

2313
01:55:11,720 --> 01:55:14,480
Speaker 2: Super Bowl picks in a minute, but I'd be remiss.

2314
01:55:14,600 --> 01:55:18,360
Speaker 2: You know, there is still a very big college football

2315
01:55:18,400 --> 01:55:19,080
Speaker 2: game tomorrow.

2316
01:55:19,160 --> 01:55:20,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't wait.

2317
01:55:20,600 --> 01:55:23,880
Speaker 2: Yeah for what today sort of lacked in marquee games.

2318
01:55:24,240 --> 01:55:26,360
Speaker 2: That will not be an issue tomorrow night. The only

2319
01:55:26,480 --> 01:55:30,200
Speaker 2: top ten matchup of the opening weekend, Number eight Florida

2320
01:55:30,200 --> 01:55:32,480
Speaker 2: State playing number five LSU.

2321
01:55:33,040 --> 01:55:34,600
Speaker 3: LSU is a slight favorite.

2322
01:55:34,600 --> 01:55:37,080
Speaker 2: The game is in Orlando, technically a neutral site, but

2323
01:55:37,120 --> 01:55:41,800
Speaker 2: obviously geographically you'd think it would favor Florida State. I

2324
01:55:41,800 --> 01:55:44,480
Speaker 2: think based on our college football playoff picks last week,

2325
01:55:44,960 --> 01:55:47,680
Speaker 2: I know where you stand on this one, But what

2326
01:55:47,720 --> 01:55:50,800
Speaker 2: are your thoughts as we get are certainly our most

2327
01:55:50,840 --> 01:55:54,280
Speaker 2: marquee game of the season so far tomorrow night.

2328
01:55:54,400 --> 01:55:56,520
Speaker 1: So I have LSU in my final four and you

2329
01:55:56,520 --> 01:55:59,800
Speaker 1: have Florida State and yours yep, So I know where

2330
01:55:59,840 --> 01:56:01,880
Speaker 1: you are on this game because I think this game

2331
01:56:01,960 --> 01:56:04,600
Speaker 1: is instrumental for one of these two football teams, and

2332
01:56:04,640 --> 01:56:08,360
Speaker 1: I think LSU will win it. I just think I

2333
01:56:08,440 --> 01:56:11,400
Speaker 1: want to see this one be a top ten matchup

2334
01:56:11,440 --> 01:56:13,560
Speaker 1: that's a heavyweight fight, I really do. We did get

2335
01:56:13,600 --> 01:56:15,840
Speaker 1: a lot of lopsided stuff. The Colorado game was so

2336
01:56:15,920 --> 01:56:17,360
Speaker 1: much fun to watch, and it's just great to be

2337
01:56:17,360 --> 01:56:20,000
Speaker 1: able to go channel to channel and watch football all

2338
01:56:20,080 --> 01:56:21,400
Speaker 1: day long. Don't get me wrong.

2339
01:56:21,440 --> 01:56:23,120
Speaker 3: If you have spectrum, but that's neither here nor there.

2340
01:56:23,160 --> 01:56:24,839
Speaker 3: That's another conversation for another day's.

2341
01:56:26,440 --> 01:56:30,040
Speaker 1: But this one, I just want this one to be

2342
01:56:30,040 --> 01:56:32,560
Speaker 1: a great football game, and I think it should be

2343
01:56:32,800 --> 01:56:37,240
Speaker 1: and probably will be. I'll stick with LSU obviously since

2344
01:56:37,240 --> 01:56:40,640
Speaker 1: I've got them in my final four, but look, I

2345
01:56:40,680 --> 01:56:42,960
Speaker 1: feel good about your I feel pretty good about the

2346
01:56:42,960 --> 01:56:44,760
Speaker 1: Seminoles this year too. I just think it'll be a

2347
01:56:44,840 --> 01:56:45,520
Speaker 1: rough start for.

2348
01:56:45,800 --> 01:56:48,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, Florida State one sixth straight to end last season. Obviously,

2349
01:56:48,880 --> 01:56:52,520
Speaker 2: bring back Jordan Travis and a bunch of others really quickly.

2350
01:56:52,840 --> 01:56:55,880
Speaker 2: You know, we'll be getting on air towards the end

2351
01:56:55,920 --> 01:56:58,880
Speaker 2: of the Big One next week. Texas and Alabama. Do

2352
01:56:58,920 --> 01:57:00,480
Speaker 2: you have an early pick on that one or you

2353
01:57:00,520 --> 01:57:01,520
Speaker 2: want to stay away for now?

2354
01:57:01,680 --> 01:57:03,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay away for right now. I'm gonna I'm

2355
01:57:03,760 --> 01:57:06,320
Speaker 1: gonna wait on that one and just kind of sift

2356
01:57:06,360 --> 01:57:09,280
Speaker 1: through and think for a few days. I'm tempted right

2357
01:57:09,320 --> 01:57:11,440
Speaker 1: now to stick with Alabama just because I like sab

2358
01:57:11,520 --> 01:57:13,400
Speaker 1: and more than I like Sark easy and yes, but

2359
01:57:13,600 --> 01:57:15,800
Speaker 1: I also know that I'm biased, so I have to

2360
01:57:15,840 --> 01:57:18,480
Speaker 1: back I have to back off just a smidge because

2361
01:57:18,480 --> 01:57:21,560
Speaker 1: of that as well. Again, I think that one could

2362
01:57:21,560 --> 01:57:22,400
Speaker 1: be a heavyweight fight.

2363
01:57:22,480 --> 01:57:25,960
Speaker 2: Also, Yeah, I uh, because I'm anti Sark, I'll just

2364
01:57:26,000 --> 01:57:29,360
Speaker 2: take Alabama right now, But there's no real logic behind it.

2365
01:57:29,400 --> 01:57:31,280
Speaker 2: I just don't trust Sark in a big game on

2366
01:57:31,360 --> 01:57:34,080
Speaker 2: the road. And with that, you know, listen, we gave

2367
01:57:34,200 --> 01:57:36,760
Speaker 2: all of our divisional previews. As I've said many times,

2368
01:57:36,800 --> 01:57:39,520
Speaker 2: the only two that we disagree on the AFC East,

2369
01:57:39,560 --> 01:57:41,879
Speaker 2: where I have the Jets and you have the Bills,

2370
01:57:41,920 --> 01:57:44,080
Speaker 2: and the AFC South where you have the Titans and

2371
01:57:44,120 --> 01:57:46,640
Speaker 2: I have the Jags. Let's not waste any more time.

2372
01:57:47,320 --> 01:57:50,280
Speaker 2: Last last show before the NFL season kicks off, so

2373
01:57:50,320 --> 01:57:52,600
Speaker 2: we will have plenty to react to next Saturday, not

2374
01:57:52,640 --> 01:57:55,360
Speaker 2: only in college, but of course that Thursday night KSE

2375
01:57:55,880 --> 01:57:59,920
Speaker 2: Detroit Lions game. What is your official Super Bowl pick?

2376
01:58:00,600 --> 01:58:02,320
Speaker 1: I kind of wanted you to go first because I

2377
01:58:02,360 --> 01:58:04,680
Speaker 1: always tend to go first. You want me to go first? Yeah,

2378
01:58:04,840 --> 01:58:07,680
Speaker 1: usually because you've set up most of these discussions. I

2379
01:58:07,720 --> 01:58:09,960
Speaker 1: wanted you to go first, even though that's dangerous because

2380
01:58:09,960 --> 01:58:12,120
Speaker 1: a lot of times I find myself agreeing after you

2381
01:58:12,200 --> 01:58:15,760
Speaker 1: say something that it turns out. But I feel confident

2382
01:58:15,760 --> 01:58:16,880
Speaker 1: we're not gonna have the same one.

2383
01:58:17,280 --> 01:58:19,160
Speaker 2: Yes, I don't think we will, and I'll tell you why.

2384
01:58:19,200 --> 01:58:22,280
Speaker 2: It's because I am doing the very rare Super Bowl

2385
01:58:22,320 --> 01:58:26,360
Speaker 2: hangover bounce back. I like Philly, and it's because I

2386
01:58:26,400 --> 01:58:28,800
Speaker 2: think that the pathway is obviously going to be easier,

2387
01:58:29,280 --> 01:58:31,360
Speaker 2: and I'm just sold on that defense. They have so

2388
01:58:31,480 --> 01:58:34,760
Speaker 2: many dudes Jalen Carter was maybe the best player in

2389
01:58:34,800 --> 01:58:36,760
Speaker 2: the draft. They got them at pick eight, nine, ten

2390
01:58:36,840 --> 01:58:40,000
Speaker 2: to eleven, whatever it was. That defense was already elite,

2391
01:58:40,080 --> 01:58:42,760
Speaker 2: the front was already elite. They have bodies, they have depth,

2392
01:58:42,800 --> 01:58:45,000
Speaker 2: They obviously have the skill position guys.

2393
01:58:45,120 --> 01:58:46,640
Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts is established.

2394
01:58:46,680 --> 01:58:50,080
Speaker 2: I have them beating the Cincinnati Bengals just to do

2395
01:58:50,120 --> 01:58:54,440
Speaker 2: something a little bit different. I'm done doubting Patrick Mahomes

2396
01:58:54,560 --> 01:58:57,240
Speaker 2: or questioning the Kansas City Chiefs. I will take the

2397
01:58:57,360 --> 01:58:59,600
Speaker 2: Eagles over the Cincinnati Bengals.

2398
01:58:59,240 --> 01:59:01,880
Speaker 1: Okay, And I like it. And you know, I've had

2399
01:59:01,960 --> 01:59:05,680
Speaker 1: Philadelphia most of the time when I've been thinking, I've

2400
01:59:05,720 --> 01:59:07,400
Speaker 1: backed off them, and I don't think they're going to

2401
01:59:07,400 --> 01:59:10,120
Speaker 1: be in the Super Bowl. And the reason why is

2402
01:59:10,160 --> 01:59:13,959
Speaker 1: because I do think that Shane Stikeen makes a massive difference.

2403
01:59:14,800 --> 01:59:20,400
Speaker 1: I think he was largely responsible, more so than Sirianni was,

2404
01:59:20,440 --> 01:59:22,160
Speaker 1: and I think that is going to be a miss.

2405
01:59:22,240 --> 01:59:23,720
Speaker 1: That's going to be something that is going to be

2406
01:59:23,760 --> 01:59:26,160
Speaker 1: missed for Philadelphia. I also think they're probably in the

2407
01:59:26,240 --> 01:59:28,200
Speaker 1: NFC Title Game in a rematch of last year. But

2408
01:59:28,240 --> 01:59:31,480
Speaker 1: I have San Francisco actually making it to the Super Bowl,

2409
01:59:31,640 --> 01:59:34,520
Speaker 1: and guess what in a rematch against the Chiefs from

2410
01:59:34,600 --> 01:59:36,760
Speaker 1: years ago. It goes exactly the same way, and I

2411
01:59:36,760 --> 01:59:38,960
Speaker 1: have the Chiefs repeating. I know that sounds boring, but

2412
01:59:39,640 --> 01:59:42,080
Speaker 1: I will stick with Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes this year.

2413
01:59:42,160 --> 01:59:43,560
Speaker 1: Really there's no reason not to.

2414
01:59:43,720 --> 01:59:45,000
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, do you have any sort of

2415
01:59:45,000 --> 01:59:47,320
Speaker 2: hot take in terms of team that totally falls off?

2416
01:59:47,360 --> 01:59:48,000
Speaker 3: Anything like that?

2417
01:59:48,280 --> 01:59:50,560
Speaker 1: The only thing I would say that, like the spoiler

2418
01:59:50,600 --> 01:59:52,320
Speaker 1: teams that I really want to keep an eye on

2419
01:59:52,320 --> 01:59:54,440
Speaker 1: this year. I want to see what Detroit does this year.

2420
01:59:54,640 --> 01:59:57,640
Speaker 1: I really really do. And as boring as it is,

2421
01:59:57,840 --> 02:00:00,360
Speaker 1: I think the Jets could easily be a team in

2422
02:00:00,400 --> 02:00:02,640
Speaker 1: a AFC that could explode.

2423
02:00:02,760 --> 02:00:03,880
Speaker 3: We got to get out of here. I want to

2424
02:00:03,880 --> 02:00:04,520
Speaker 3: thank the crew.
