1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: All right, I'm at my West Coast wedding and there's

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: jazzy jazz right there.

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 2: Here's what I know so far.

4
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: Nebraska being Northwestern at the moment, Oregon's offense is doing

5
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: nothing against Wisconsin. Alabama beats South carolina'm up barely Texas,

6
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 1: Mississippi State but barely Stanford Miami are tied in the

7
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 1: third quarter or something. I can't wait to find out.

8
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: There are games everywhere. Michigan's winning, Arizona State is losing.

9
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: Ties on his own.

10
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: Tye, this is you take it away.

11
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 3: Welcome to the solid verbal. I'm that for me.

12
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 4: I'm a man, I'm for I've heard so many players say, well,

13
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 4: I want to be happy.

14
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 2: You want to be happy for Dake Ada State?

15
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 5: Is that whoo whoo?

16
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 2: And no Dan and tie for bowlers?

17
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 6: You heard the man. So I have good news, I

18
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 6: have bad news. The good news is that there's going

19
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 6: to be a show tonight, and certainly there is no

20
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 6: shortage of stuff to talk about. In light of what

21
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 6: we saw go down in week nine. We called it

22
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 6: seat belt Saturday. There was good reason for that. I

23
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 6: think we experienced a little bit of that turbulence. So

24
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 6: that's all good. The bad part is, well, you just

25
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 6: saw the intro video. Danny is not with me tonight.

26
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 6: Dan is at a fall wedding, of all things, for

27
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 6: a college football podcaster, Dan Rubinstein is at a fall wedding.

28
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 6: It's a very close personal friend. Sometimes you just got

29
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 6: to do the thing. He wouldn't have gone unless he

30
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 6: absolutely had to. He is certainly here with us in spirit,

31
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 6: and he sent that in. You could see the aforementioned

32
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 6: blue whale of formalware that we have talked about on

33
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 6: this show in that video. If you are watching us

34
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 6: on YouTube otherwise, I guess the bad news is that

35
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 6: you're just stuck with me tonight. So this show is

36
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 6: going to feel a little bit different. I'm not going

37
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 6: to be able to cover as much ground. I am

38
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 6: going to do my part to do a solo show.

39
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 6: We will see how this goes. Literally, in the span

40
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 6: of time we have been doing this show since two

41
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 6: thousand and eight, I have never done anything. So I've

42
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 6: done solo interviews, I have never done a solo show.

43
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 6: So we're going to do our part. Hopefully you can

44
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 6: do yours as well. What I am after a little

45
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 6: bit later on in this episode is what you learned

46
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 6: the most in week nine. Send those comments in if

47
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 6: you are watching live, I've got Shay work in the

48
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 6: virtual control room.

49
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 2: He just cut the reverbs.

50
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 6: He's hanging out for the remainder of this yere episode

51
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 6: and he's gonna star some of our favorite comments and

52
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 6: we'll flash shows up a little bit later on in

53
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 6: the episode. Again, what you learned in week nine is

54
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 6: what I am after. Also, if you kindly would not

55
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 6: mind please hit follow or subscribe Before this show goes

56
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 6: any further, maybe things come off the rails. I want

57
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 6: to try and get out ahead of that. I would

58
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 6: like to get your commitment before we get to that point.

59
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 6: So on tonight's show, look we got a lot of

60
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 6: ground to cover.

61
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 2: I'm going to try my.

62
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 6: Best to not make it a SEC only show, but look,

63
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 6: most of the key storylines went down in the SEC,

64
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 6: so we got to cover that. We'll hit that at

65
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 6: the very top. We'll go conference by conference, and I'll

66
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 6: give you just some quick reactions to things that jumped

67
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 6: out at me. There were other big games that went

68
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 6: on obviously around college football that I think need to

69
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 6: be mentioned. If there are some that I can't get

70
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 6: into great detail. On Dan and I will knock those

71
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 6: out on the Tuesday episode. Okay, those are the ground

72
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 6: rules for what we're gonna do here tonight. Were, of

73
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 6: course going to play your reverbs. We'll get to that

74
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 6: a little bit later on in the episode. Of course,

75
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 6: we'll show your comments, and as per usual, to close

76
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 6: things out, we'll give dood alerts. I put out the

77
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 6: call on our social accounts. We got a great bunch,

78
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 6: a bunch of great suggestions that came through. So we

79
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 6: will get to that in due course. But why don't

80
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 6: we start here. We called it seatbelt Saturday because Dan

81
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 6: was foreseeing some turbulence ahead.

82
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:03,559
Speaker 2: What we didn't.

83
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 6: Foresee was that there would be some turbulence at ten

84
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 6: oh five am courtesy of various social channels on Saturday morning.

85
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 6: And by that, I'm referring to a tweet, a post,

86
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 6: a zeit, a whatever, that came across the wire from

87
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 6: the Athletics Diana Rassini quote. I'm told representatives for Texas

88
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 6: coach Steve Sarkisian have let NFL decision makers know that

89
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 6: he would be interested in potential head coaching openings, including

90
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 6: that of the Tennessee Titans.

91
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 3: End quote.

92
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 6: Obviously Sark's superagent Jimmy Sexton quickly denied the reports. But

93
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 6: it's out there now. It's not going anywhere. Those rumors

94
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 6: are just going to persist. As you know, we have

95
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 6: seen a couple big chips fall now over the last

96
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 6: couple weeks, over the last two Sundays in particular, I

97
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 6: have no idea if we're going to see anything more

98
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 6: starting to marrow. We will talk through some of the

99
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 6: results in the SEC. You can make a case for one.

100
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 6: We'll get there, I promise. But everyone who does what

101
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 6: I am doing right now, at some point or another,

102
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 6: has ranked one opening against another, or has looked out

103
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 6: across the landscape and says, I think this might be

104
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 6: the next one to open up. It's already an intriguing

105
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 6: list of power conference openings. It is a much much

106
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 6: spicier thought experiment. If we add Texas to that mix,

107
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 6: there are a bunch of big ones in limbo. But

108
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 6: if that one is a possibility, it totally changes the game.

109
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 2: Now.

110
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 6: I look at the list of openings right now, and

111
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 6: I see Penn State, Florida, Virginia, Tech, Oklahoma State, Arkansas, UCLA,

112
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 6: and Stanford. I also look at Auburn Florida State, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Arizona, UNC,

113
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 6: LSU will get to that and Texas as potentials and

114
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 6: suddenly this is a really really interesting coaching carousel.

115
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 7: Now.

116
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 6: I don't know if the Texas thing has any weight

117
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 6: to it or not, but clearly it was leaked for

118
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 6: a reason. And so if there is any possibility that

119
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 6: Texas is now going to throw its hat in the ring,

120
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 6: I would much rather be the likes of somebody like

121
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 6: a James Franklin than somebody like a Penn State, because

122
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 6: there is going to be crazy competition for all of

123
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 6: these openings, and you gotta believe that if you are

124
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 6: halfway decent at your job, you stand to get a

125
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 6: huge pay day. You are going to be rich even

126
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 6: if you're just okay at being a head coach, if

127
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 6: you are just mentioned for one of these potential openings. So,

128
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 6: as we said, seat belt Saturday, buckle up. This is

129
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 6: gonna get weird. If Texas ends up being part of

130
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 6: this conversation. It's going to be like dropping a second

131
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 6: Jupiter in the Solar system, right. It is going to

132
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 6: get real weird, real fast. And there is one game

133
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 6: in the SEC that might have an outsized influence. Texas

134
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 6: A and M absolutely positively throttled LSU.

135
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: Guests who just got furded.

136
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 6: In my opinion, right now, Texas A and M is

137
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 6: the best team in the SEC. And I think of

138
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 6: all the things that I saw across college football in

139
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 6: Week nine, what Texas A and M did, especially in

140
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 6: the second half against LSU, that was the most impressive performance.

141
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 6: They went into halftime trailing eighteen to fourteen, they came

142
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 6: back out and absolutely blew.

143
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 3: The doors off of LSU.

144
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 6: This was like when the computer goes into fu mode

145
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 6: when you're playing the college football video game, really when

146
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 6: you're playing any video game. It was a completely different

147
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 6: team after halftime. Marcel Reid turned into Lamar Jackson, Casey

148
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 6: Concepcion turned into Devin Hester. LSU stopped tackling like all

149
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 6: together until later in that game. I think Herbie even

150
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 6: mentioned it on the broadcast that there were fans starting

151
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 6: to clear out completely from Tiger Stadium. What they didn't mention,

152
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 6: but I'm sure somebody will mention at some point before long,

153
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 6: is that Brian Kelly's buyout is something north of fifty

154
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 6: two million dollars. I honestly did not expect we would

155
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 6: be having this type of conversation this early in the season.

156
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 6: I know it hasn't gone great for LSU so far

157
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 6: this year, but wow, the turn that this thing has

158
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 6: taken by getting blown out at home against a conference

159
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 6: opponent like Texas A and M got I just I

160
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 6: know what people say in our discord, I know what

161
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 6: people have sent into us via the social channels and email.

162
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 6: I honestly cannot believe it took this turn, especially with

163
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,239
Speaker 6: the commitment that we saw from LSU in the offseason

164
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 6: to beef themselves up via the transfer portal. High school

165
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 6: recruiting has obviously still been very, very strong. There is

166
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 6: going to be a much longer conversation about LSU football

167
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 6: and Brian Kelly and whether this team is quitting. Fans

168
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 6: are going to have to chime in and let me

169
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 6: know what they think. But I know what I saw

170
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 6: in that second half and after they went in with

171
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 6: a lead at halftime, to come out and get destroyed

172
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 6: the manner that they did that was really really upsetting

173
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 6: and really really disheartening about what the future of this

174
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 6: LSU team looks like. The story here though, should be

175
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 6: Texas A and M. You know, it shouldn't be all

176
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 6: doom and gloom on the LSU side. A and M

177
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 6: was superior in all three phases. They were superior on offense, defense,

178
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,719
Speaker 6: and special teams. It was not the cleanest performance from

179
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 6: Marcel Reed he threw two picks, but I think it

180
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 6: might have been the best that I've seen in a while,

181
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 6: considering the circumstances right on the road, hostile environment, Tiger

182
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 6: Stadium at night. I mean, that is a tough, tough

183
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 6: setting to go and win a game and be this dominant.

184
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 6: So this wasn't a game so much where they needed

185
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 6: to lean on him as a passer, but it absolutely

186
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 6: was a game in which he showed what he can

187
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 6: do with his legs. And so I joke around about

188
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 6: him being Lamar Jackson. He's not, but he kind of

189
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,839
Speaker 6: looked like it in this game. He was really really

190
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 6: effective on the ground with his legs, and the vaunted

191
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 6: LSU defense, which we've heard a lot about, gave up

192
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 6: a ton of yards and a ton of points. His

193
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 6: legs were just killer and they didn't really have an

194
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 6: answer for that. And defensively, like LSU was on skates here,

195
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 6: they just could not get any momentum they couldn't get

196
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 6: any series of stops. Casey Concepsion just killed him with

197
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 6: punt returns, one of which went back for a touchdown

198
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 6: in the third quarter. So, look, it's going to get

199
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 6: spicy here down the stretch. I think there is a

200
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 6: very clear path for Texas A and M to continue

201
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 6: this trajectory and find itself in the SEC title game,

202
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 6: at a minimum, get into the playoffs. The LSU thing is, Look,

203
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 6: I've said it a couple times now, but it's going

204
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 6: to get weird. They've got Bama in two weeks. That

205
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 6: game's in Tuscaloosa. There's a good chance that is lost

206
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 6: number four, which potentially sets up a really interesting stage

207
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 6: for a game to close out the year against Oklahoma,

208
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 6: where you've got two teams that are vying for a

209
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 6: seven and five record, and I don't know if that

210
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 6: bodes well for either coach. There's a chance one of

211
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 6: those two coaches won't even be there. And I'm looking

212
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 6: at you, Brian Kelly. I mentioned Oklahoma. Ole Miss won

213
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 6: this one in Norman thirty four to twenty six on

214
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 6: a wet, rainy field and there were guys sliding around

215
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 6: all over the place that looked like they were playing

216
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 6: this one on ice. Interestingly, this was Lane Kiffin's first

217
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 6: road win over a ranked SEC opponent, which kind of

218
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 6: seems crazy it's been this long without him having accomplished that,

219
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 6: but here we are. This one also came amid the

220
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 6: rumors that he's the top target at Florida. I got

221
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 6: to give Lane Kiffen a lot of credit for the

222
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 6: way that he handled this, because we have seen a

223
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 6: full spectrum of coaches now talking through whether the rumors

224
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 6: are true are not true, ranging from blaming the media

225
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 6: to sort of being evasive but complementary in the form

226
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 6: of whatever Matt Ruhle was trying for. Lane Kiffin didn't

227
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 6: try to run from any of this. He called a meeting,

228
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 6: He addressed the team. He told the guys it was

229
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 6: due to their success on the field that these rumors

230
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 6: persist at all. He didn't deny that there was interest,

231
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 6: either from his end or from Florida's end. But among

232
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 6: the ways that we have seen coaches deal with these

233
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 6: types of things, it seemed like the more adult version

234
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 6: of a response, and at least initially it seems as

235
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 6: though the response was pretty positive from those who were

236
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 6: in the room and those who have had a chance

237
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 6: to think about it and analyze what Lane did. I

238
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 6: give him a lot of credit for it. Maybe as

239
00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 6: a result, Lane looked like he was trying to little

240
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 6: extra to be the old miss coach today. I don't

241
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 6: know if he's trying to overcompensate for some of the

242
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 6: stuff that's swirling out there. But there are some weird

243
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 6: moves in this game. Weren't there a couple PlayStation decisions.

244
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 6: The first one that comes to mind was a sequence

245
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 6: in the first half where Trinidad Chambliss drove the field,

246
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 6: had a ton of momentum, was playing especially well, got

247
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 6: down into the red zone, he gives him the hook,

248
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 6: gives him the hook. Time for Austin Simmons to come in.

249
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 6: Let's see what he can do. Austin Simmons a little

250
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 6: bit of a bigger guy. I've seen some speculation Brooks.

251
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 6: Austin out online was saying that, well, Trinidad Chambliss passing

252
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 6: inside the five yard line has had a bunch of

253
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 6: tip passes. Austin Simmons bigger dude. Maybe maybe that'll help well.

254
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 6: Austin Simmons air mailed two incompletions. They ended up having

255
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 6: to settle for a field goal. Then there was another

256
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 6: circumstance in the third quarter, fourth and one from their

257
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 6: own twenty five. Lane decides he's going to go for it,

258
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 6: doesn't get it, turns the ball over to Oklahoma. That

259
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 6: could have been a turning point for Oklahoma. Instead, they

260
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 6: end up having to settle for three points. That actually

261
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 6: ended up being more of the story in this game.

262
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 6: It was not decisions, thankfully, that Lane Kiffin had to make.

263
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 6: It was the fact that Old Miss came to play

264
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 6: with its defense and they put Oklahoma in a situation

265
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 6: where the Sooners could not convert on some of these

266
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 6: key moments. Oklahoma got the ball back, they had to

267
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 6: settle for three. Situation like this, you just can't settle

268
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 6: for three. Even still, Oklahoma storm back. They were down twelve.

269
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 6: They outscored Ole Miss sixteen to three in the third quarter.

270
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 6: They end up taking a very slim lead, but Old

271
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 6: Miss gets a job done in the end. What Ole

272
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 6: Miss did on defense Oklahoma, you look at their box score,

273
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 6: three hundred and fifty nine yards one hundred and forty

274
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 6: one on two pass plays or two long plays. I

275
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 6: guess one long pass play, one running play. John Mattier

276
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 6: was sort of held in check. He wasn't able to

277
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 6: kill them with his legs, which I think was a

278
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 6: real possibility in this game coming into it. It was

279
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 6: something that we had talked a lot about. But John

280
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 6: Mattire was held mostly in check as a runner. John

281
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 6: Mattier also held himself in check a little bit, right,

282
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 6: John Mattier. John Mattier had an opportunity late to check

283
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 6: down to take an easy fourth and five conversion, decides

284
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 6: he's going to try and throwing down the sidelines incomplete.

285
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 3: That's the ballgame.

286
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 6: So I credit Ole Miss what they did on defense.

287
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 6: Defense was not necessarily what we expected a whole lot

288
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 6: from their side of coming into this one, but well

289
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 6: and behold, they got the job done and held Oklahoma

290
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 6: pretty well in check. I think they deserve most of

291
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 6: the credit. They've got a very workable schedule in.

292
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 3: Front of them.

293
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 6: Now the rest of the way, there are teams in

294
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 6: front of them that are going to lose. I think

295
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 6: with a little bit of help, they could end up

296
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 6: in the SEC title game. With a little bit of luck,

297
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 6: they could avoid the SEC Title Game altogether and still

298
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 6: get into the playoff. But it looks really good. If

299
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 6: you're an Old misfan on the Oklahoma side, this was

300
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 6: another game against a powerful opponent where you don't score

301
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 6: more than twenty six points. Their schedule the rest of

302
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 6: the way is four teams that were ranked at the

303
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 6: start of this week. They're at Tennessee, They're at Bama,

304
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 6: They've got Miszoo and LSU at home. I mentioned this

305
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 6: a moment ago, but a seven and five season, or

306
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 6: playing for a seven and five season against LLC to

307
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 6: close out the year, that's very much on the table.

308
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 6: So I think a disappointing performance from Oklahoma. But if

309
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 6: you're an Old Miss fan, this was a big win

310
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 6: to go into Norman again, the first one for Lane

311
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 6: Kiffen as a coach of Old Miss.

312
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 3: A win over a ranked opponent on the road.

313
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 6: Some of the other games in the SEC that are

314
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 6: of note, and I promise I want to talk about

315
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 6: some other conferences here. I got to talk about this

316
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 6: Alabama game, if only because I picked South Carolina outright.

317
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 6: I picked them outright. I thought it was going to happen.

318
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 6: There was a chance it was going to happen. I

319
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 6: stuck my neck out last game of October for South Carolina,

320
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 6: biggest home game left on the slate. They always have

321
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 6: one game of year under Shane Beemer. That doesn't make

322
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 6: any sense. They came into this one a healthy, double

323
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 6: digit dog at home, and I thought for a moment

324
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 6: I was going to be right, because it looked like

325
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 6: I was going to be right. I got the cover,

326
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 6: so you know, it wasn't a total loss. But Bama

327
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 6: was down twenty two to fourteen with about ten minutes left.

328
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 6: They got two really quick touchdowns from Jeremy Bernard in

329
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 6: the final two and a half minutes to win it.

330
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 6: The first was a really nice seventy nine yard drive

331
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 6: that ate up almost eight minutes. He caught the touchdown

332
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 6: pass almost immediately after that. The ensuing drive for South Carolina,

333
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 6: Lenoras Sellers, who was really good in this game for

334
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,199
Speaker 6: the most part, coughs up a fumble sets up a

335
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 6: second touchdown. It was a sick play and an awesome

336
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 6: run for Jeremy Bernard. A fake reverse to Tye Simpson.

337
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 6: I don't even know how you draw that up, but

338
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 6: he goes around the end untouched, scampers into the end

339
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 6: zone twenty five yards out on third and ten. That

340
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 6: gives Alabama twenty nine to twenty two lead. They eventually

341
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 6: end up winning. It was a great escape for the

342
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 6: Crimson Tide.

343
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 3: It really was.

344
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 2: I'm not going to call it a clunker.

345
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 6: I don't think it was a clunker. They found a

346
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 6: way to win a tough spot on the road in

347
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 6: South Carolina played pretty well.

348
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 2: I saw that.

349
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 6: Calin de Boor spoke about coming up biggest in some

350
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 6: of the most critical moments, and I think that pretty

351
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 6: much sums it up in this game. Alabama was really

352
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 6: good when they had to be, especially late, and that's

353
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 6: why they ended up winning this one. So they deserve

354
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 6: their flowers. As the kids like to say, Ty Simpson's

355
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 6: playing like a QB one. I don't know what his

356
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 6: draft status is going to be, but Ty Simpsons's very

357
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 6: much going to be in that conversation come draft time.

358
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 6: I still think it's mostly a one dimensional offense. They're

359
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 6: still way more centered around the past, but they're scheming

360
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 6: ways to get Jeremy Bernard and Ryan Williams the ball

361
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 6: and key situations. Daniel Hill, the young running back, didn't

362
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 6: do a whole lot of running, but was really effective

363
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 6: in the passing game. Had a couple of big plays

364
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 6: in this one. I'm really impressed by this Alabama offense.

365
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 6: I am curious if at some point they're going to

366
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 6: run into somebody that can take more advantage of the

367
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 6: fact that they're so based around the past. But for

368
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 6: right now, you got to feel pretty good about where

369
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 6: Alabama's at. I just you know, there's no two ways

370
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 6: about that. The problem again is that this one was

371
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 6: there for South Carolina. It was there, and you know,

372
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 6: if they'd all repeatedly shoot themselves in the foot, I

373
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 6: think it's there for him. Bama's first touchdown was on

374
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 6: a pick six that was juggled by result Faison. Then

375
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 6: there was also a holding call that wiped out a

376
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 6: touchdown run for Leonoris.

377
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:33,719
Speaker 3: There was what does it say here?

378
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 6: Another holding call that killed another drive all together. There

379
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 6: was a missfield goal just for good measure, by the way,

380
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 6: the missfield goal did I mention? All of that happened

381
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 6: in the first half. It was all in one half.

382
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 6: Then we had some more weirdness go down in the

383
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 6: second half with the funnel that I talked about a

384
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 6: second ago. I'm not frustrated because I picked South Carolina

385
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 6: and they didn't win. I am frustrated for the South

386
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 6: Carolina fans out there who watched this game, who also

387
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 6: know that they could have won this game, probably should

388
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 6: have won this game, and they still found a way

389
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 6: to lose it. So bigger picture, good win for Alabama.

390
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 6: Bigger picture, it's a bad season for the Cocks. Man

391
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 6: just there's a pretty good chance.

392
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 3: It's going to get worse too. It is.

393
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 6: It's like starting to look more and more like a

394
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 6: four and eight, five and seven year. I don't know

395
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 6: what the ramifications are for that. I don't want to

396
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 6: sit here and speculate, but it's it. Loss is like

397
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 6: this sting. Let's leave it at that. The final game

398
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 6: that I'm going to talk about in the SEC and

399
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 6: then I promise you we're going to move on. It

400
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 6: is not going to be the Texas overtime win over

401
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 6: Mississippi State. I want to save that one. I want

402
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 6: to talk about that one on Tuesday with Dan arch

403
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 6: Manning looked like he got knocked around pretty good, got

404
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 6: hit kind of in the back of the head, was

405
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 6: walking off a little bit woozy.

406
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 3: I hope he's okay.

407
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 6: Texas emerges with an escape victory in overtime over Mississippi State,

408
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 6: who continues to be one of the better stories in

409
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 6: college football. I want to talk about Vandy, you want

410
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 6: to talk about the doors with me. Seventeen to Ten's

411
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 6: your final score. Vanderbilt beats Massoo. I had Miszoo in

412
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 6: this one. I think Dan took Vandy. Dan always takes Vandy.

413
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 2: So look, my theory here.

414
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 6: Was that Missoo was going to be good enough on

415
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 6: defense to hold down Diego Pavia. I was not wrong

416
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 6: about that. Okay, they held him down for the most part.

417
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 6: The Miszoo defense held Vandy to two hundred and sixty

418
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 6: five yards. That's a season low. Eighty of those yards,

419
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 6: by the way, came on a long touchdown run in

420
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 6: the third quarter, So if you take that out, I

421
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 6: don't know. I'm not a math major. One hundred and

422
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 6: eighty five yards total on offense. You can't ask for

423
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 6: much more from a defense. I don't care who you're planning.

424
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 6: So this one was very much a rock fight here.

425
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 6: It was just three to three at a half. Both

426
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 6: teams kind of hurt themselves with penalties. There were a

427
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 6: couple key turning points, though that went against Missoo. I

428
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 6: think the bigger, more existential turning point was what went

429
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 6: down with bau Pribula, and this one's potentially a killer.

430
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 6: Beau Brabula hurt what I think was his right ankle

431
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 6: in the third quarter, ends up getting carted off, gets

432
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 6: carted off, and they transfer him to a wheelchair to

433
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 6: push him into the locker room, which is like a

434
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,199
Speaker 6: doubly bad look. I felt horrible for him. Had an

435
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 6: air cast on, which is never a good sign. That

436
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 6: is a huge blow to the Missouri campaign. You might

437
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 6: recall part of the reason why bau Bribula got the

438
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 6: job so easily at the start of the year was

439
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 6: because Sam Horn got hurt.

440
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 3: So Bo gets the job.

441
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 6: Bo has had a good year, but quarterback depth behind

442
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 6: him him was immediately the question what happens if Bo

443
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 6: goes down?

444
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 3: Bo went down, so.

445
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 6: They turn it over to Matt Zohlers, who's also from Pennsylvania,

446
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 6: a little bit farther east than Bo, who's from York.

447
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 6: But Matt Zohlers is a four star. I don't think

448
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 6: he looked out of his depth. I think he's got

449
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 6: a good arm. He does have some happy feet, a

450
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 6: you know, didn't have a great feel for the pocket.

451
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 6: But all things considered, stepping into the circumstances like this,

452
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 6: I thought he did a pretty good job. He led

453
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 6: a drive at the start of the fourth quarter of

454
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 6: that tide at a ten apiece, so he wasn't so

455
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 6: much liability out there In terms of this game, though.

456
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 6: The moment that I'm thinking of on the Missou side

457
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 6: is what went down with Jamal Roberts. Jamal Roberts fumbled

458
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 6: with seven minutes left, Vander gets the ball back. They're

459
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 6: able to siphon like five minutes off the clock, end

460
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 6: up scoring a go ahead touchdown. Maszoo gets the ball,

461
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 6: Matt Zolers gets one more shot to win it. Kind

462
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 6: of Hemming and Hahn trying to like Nickel and dime

463
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 6: their way down the field. I looked at the clock

464
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 6: before the last play. I believe there were six seconds left.

465
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 6: Everybody goes down Hail Mary, Mazoo catches the pass. They

466
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 6: catch the hail Mary. It's about that far short. They

467
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 6: went to video review. It's about that far short of

468
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,719
Speaker 6: the goal line. Who the hell knows what happens if

469
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 6: this one goes to overtime.

470
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 3: Just a bit short.

471
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 6: So it wasn't a clean game for either side. I

472
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 6: do think the Massoo defense did what it needed to

473
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 6: do against Diego Pavia. But again, the story of Vanderbilt

474
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 6: and Diego Pavia continues. They are suddenly seven and one.

475
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 6: It is their best start since nineteen forty one. They

476
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 6: close out their season on the road against Texas, US

477
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 6: at home against Auburn, at home against Kentucky, and also

478
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 6: on the road against Tennessee. They might be better than

479
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 6: all four of those teams right now. I still have

480
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 6: questions about what happens if Vandy gets in a shootout,

481
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 6: but that's neither here nor there. Vandy right now, with

482
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 6: the way that they're playing, they're just finding ways to

483
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 6: do it, and you got to give them props for that. Notably,

484
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 6: I thought Missoo took Vandy out of its game today

485
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 6: because we've talked about it a lot on our show.

486
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 6: Vandy likes to control time of possession. They like to

487
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 6: slow you down. They like to force he to be

488
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 6: efficient in order to beat him. They didn't do any

489
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 6: of that today. They lost time of possession. They lost

490
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,439
Speaker 6: time of possession by about thirteen minutes. They were not

491
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 6: the more efficient team at all in terms of Vandy

492
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 6: and what we've seen this season.

493
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 3: This was a clunker.

494
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 6: And they still found a way to win. And if

495
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 6: you're a good team, that's.

496
00:26:58,280 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 3: What you got to do.

497
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 6: That's what went down in the SEC. Let me know

498
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 6: in the comments what you learned about the SEC. Well

499
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 6: flashhows up at the end of the episode.

500
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 2: Over in the Big twelve.

501
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 6: BYU forty one Iowa Stay twenty seven. So I had

502
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 6: the BYU Iowa State game in the quad box like

503
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 6: all afternoon because we talked about it in the preview.

504
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 6: Might remember if you listened to it the afternoon slate

505
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 6: of games, you could have built two quads that were

506
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 6: of equal interest. It was really, really, really interesting in

507
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 6: that time slot. Amid all the other games going on,

508
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 6: this is the one I wanted to watch. All I

509
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 6: wanted to do was watch Bear Bachmeyer. Honestly, I'm not

510
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 6: even kidding. True freshman number forty seven, wonderful head of hair,

511
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 6: which we've talked about a lot here. Plus he's part

512
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 6: of the Bachmeyer football dynasty. All of these things are

513
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 6: very important on the solid verble. Now, I will note

514
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 6: he is not a finished product. Okay, he is not

515
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,439
Speaker 6: a finished product. He still has happy feet, there are

516
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 6: still some ill advised throws. He is not perfect but

517
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 6: what is most encouraging if you're a BYU fan, is

518
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 6: they are not scheming around him. If you watch that game,

519
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 6: if you watch any of what bear Bachmeyer has done

520
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 6: leading up to this game progressively, so it is more

521
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,679
Speaker 6: and more the case where the coaching staff is not

522
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 6: treating him like a liability, and that is really exciting,

523
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 6: especially with how well they are playing otherwise. Whether it's

524
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 6: a stroke of good luck, whether it's really good coaching,

525
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 6: maybe it's a combination of the two. It probably is.

526
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 6: But bear Bachmeyer already seems to me like he's better

527
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 6: than Jake Rhetz left and given the circumstances in the

528
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 6: run up to this season, to have caught lightning in

529
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 6: a bottle with a true freshman is crazy. It almost

530
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 6: never happens. He looked awesome in this game. He was

531
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 6: the entire offense.

532
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 3: In this game.

533
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 6: BYU had four hundred and ten total yards. Bear Bachmeyer

534
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 6: had three hundred.

535
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 3: And fifty six of them.

536
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 6: Iowa State came in as like a top twenty five

537
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 6: caliber defense. It was clear fairly early that we knew

538
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 6: watching from home what BYU was going to do, and

539
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 6: certainly John Haycock knew what they were going to do

540
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 6: and build the whole plane out of bear Bachmeyer, and

541
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 6: in what they still couldn't stop them. They couldn't stop them.

542
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 6: And what's even crazier to me is that this was

543
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 6: kind of a shootout, like this was not a shutdown

544
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 6: effort on the BYU side, by any stretch of the imagination.

545
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 6: BYU came into this game. I think as like the

546
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 6: twelfth or thirteenth best defense in Bill Connolly's sp plus

547
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 6: YU was out gained. They gave up almost five hundred

548
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 6: yards in this one, but they would turnover battle three

549
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 6: to ZIP.

550
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 3: One of those was a pick six.

551
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 6: As we said when we previewed this game, BYU doesn't

552
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 6: fit neatly into any box. There's not like one guiding

553
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 6: philosophy or identity. They're sort of all the things all

554
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 6: at once, and they can adapt to whatever. They're extremely adaptable,

555
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 6: and that's what I think makes them really hard to

556
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 6: game plan for. They'll just sort of do whatever works,

557
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 6: whatever they need to do. Frankly, there should be more

558
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 6: teams around college football that adapt that mentality. I don't

559
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 6: know if all of them will be as good at

560
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 6: it as BYU seems to be this year, but they

561
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 6: are getting the job done. To go on the road

562
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 6: to win this one in the manner that they did

563
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 6: is damn impressive. They are now eight to zero. They

564
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 6: might crack the top ten.

565
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:55,239
Speaker 3: You know.

566
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 6: I don't know what the rankings are going to show

567
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 6: when they release the latest round of AP polling.

568
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 3: But they're right there. They deserve to be right there.

569
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 6: They're off next week, but two weeks they go to Lubbock,

570
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 6: which is gonna be one of those games that we

571
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 6: have to do the early preview four on the Tuesday episode,

572
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 6: right I mean, that's gonna be the big twelve game

573
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 6: of the year right there. I don't know if they'll

574
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 6: be favored by Hunches, No, but I do think they

575
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 6: can win. And if you ask me how I think

576
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 6: they could win or what I think they're going to

577
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 6: do in order to win, it's a big shrug. I

578
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 6: have no idea, but that's kind of their mo and

579
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 6: I think that's kind of what makes them who they are.

580
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 6: So BYU with a damn impressive win here over Iowa State.

581
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 6: I Wowa State was favored in this game at home,

582
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 6: by the way, so to go in there to win

583
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 6: like they did, to put up all those yards to

584
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 6: be outgained, they still have to find a way to

585
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 6: do it. BYU is legit. They might not go twelve

586
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 6: and zero, but uh, eleven and one, ten and two

587
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 6: is looking pretty good right about now. And there are

588
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 6: other teams in the Big twelve too that I think

589
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 6: rise to the same level for having this conversation about

590
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 6: Big Twelve teams. I mean, it was the same case

591
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 6: last year, right there were a bunch of teams, Arizona

592
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 6: State being one of them picked last, they end up

593
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,479
Speaker 6: winning the conference. We've got a grouping of teams that

594
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 6: I think everybody missed to some extent that are playing really,

595
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 6: really well. Texas Tech was obviously in action this week.

596
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 6: They won pretty handily, but it's not just BYU. What

597
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 6: about Cincinnati. Cincinnati also won going away, and this was

598
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 6: also a matchup in which we called out some of

599
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 6: their liability on defense, specifically against the past, something that

600
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 6: Baylor is known to be pretty good at. I think

601
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 6: we need to have a longer conversation about Cincinnati right

602
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 6: now because November Cincinnati is going to get damn spicy.

603
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 6: Like I started poking around with tiebreakers and stuff. It's

604
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 6: probably a little too early, but especially with the news

605
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 6: that Houston knocked off Arizona State, It's going to end

606
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 6: up being ridiculous, just like it was last year, and

607
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 6: Cincinnati is going to have a big part to play.

608
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:17,719
Speaker 6: I like Cincinnati more coming into the year, certainly than

609
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 6: in twenty twenty four. But I didn't expect this, and

610
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 6: I don't know many people that did. Admittedly, I only

611
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 6: saw a handful of highlights. I want to go back

612
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 6: and I want to really imbibe this one and take

613
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 6: it all in. But I'll just note that we did

614
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 6: mention on our preview despite some of the liability on defense,

615
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 6: the fact that Baylor does not play any run defense

616
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 6: and Cincinnati rushed it fifty times for two hundred and

617
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 6: sixty five yards. I think that is their default mode.

618
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,959
Speaker 6: I think they want to run people into submission if

619
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 6: they can, but if they can't. We should also note

620
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 6: that Brendan soaresby their quarterback as a nineteen to one

621
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 6: touchdown on the interception.

622
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 3: Ratio, which is pretty good.

623
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 6: So like they have a couple pitches Cincinnati, It's not

624
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 6: just all one thing. They got a couple different ways

625
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 6: that they can get You had too many penalties in

626
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 6: this game, but still really really solid and maybe a

627
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 6: knockout blow for Dave Randa.

628
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 3: I don't know.

629
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 6: I don't know what the status is at Baylor. I

630
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 6: know he's been on the hot seat for the last

631
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 6: two years. But Cincinnati putting up forty one points, holding

632
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 6: Baylor down to some extent here not getting killed through

633
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 6: the air, that was impressive to me. I thought that

634
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 6: Baylor might throw on him, but they just had two

635
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 6: hundred and sixty six yards as a team, turned the

636
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 6: ball over twice, there were four of twelve on third downs.

637
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 6: I mean, you could convince me that Baylor is like

638
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 6: a five lost team at this point, but they still

639
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 6: have an offense. And I still think it's really impressive

640
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 6: what Cincinnati did. And the other big one here, Honestly,

641
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 6: in the Big Twelve, I mentioned it a second ago,

642
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 6: and I'm not going to go into too much detail

643
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 6: on this one because they didn't watch it and I

644
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 6: don't want to be disingenuous, but Houston twenty four to

645
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 6: sixteen over Arizona State. They were up twenty four to

646
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 6: zip right away, like they punched him in the mouth.

647
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 3: They did not look back.

648
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 6: This was probably a bit of a letdown spot for

649
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 6: Arizona State after the win last week against Texas Tech,

650
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 6: where everybody you know stormed the field, but Jordan Tyson

651
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 6: was out. I believe Sam Levitt later on in the

652
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 6: game was out as well. Jeff Simmons did come in

653
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,439
Speaker 6: for a stretch and actually wasn't that bad, just sort

654
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 6: of the surprise of the game. I give a lot

655
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 6: of credit to Willie Fritz and what he's building at Houston.

656
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 6: I talked a lot about it in the preseason. They

657
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 6: were aggressive in the transfer portal, but they were smart

658
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 6: in the transfer portal. They were not going out after

659
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 6: the biggest names. They did get Conor Wigman, which is

660
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 6: a big name in and of himself, but otherwise the

661
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 6: guys that they went out and got were ones who

662
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 6: could come in and contribute either by filling in gaps

663
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 6: that they knew they had or by adding depth where

664
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 6: they thought they might need it, and we are seeing

665
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 6: that pay major dividends. I don't know what the future

666
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 6: holds for Houston at this point, but I think it's

667
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 6: another testament to the job that Willy Fritz is doing.

668
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 6: It would not surprise me if Willi Fritz's name came

669
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,399
Speaker 6: up in accordance with some of these other openings out there.

670
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 6: I don't know if there is any desire for him

671
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,280
Speaker 6: to leave the Houston, for him to leave Houston.

672
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 3: He just got there.

673
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 6: But Houston completely controlled this game. In the bit that

674
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 6: I saw of it, I got to go back. I

675
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 6: obviously need to brush up on this one a little

676
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 6: bit more before I talk super knowledgeably about it. But

677
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 6: what Houston is doing right now under Willy Fritz again,

678
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:49,800
Speaker 6: another one of these teams that I think has snuck

679
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 6: up on people. It's hard not to be impressed.

680
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 2: Again.

681
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 6: Let me know what impressed you, what you learned from

682
00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 6: the Big twelve in week nine, I want to go

683
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 6: through the ACC I want to go through the Big ten.

684
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 6: I want to mention a big game that went down

685
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:11,879
Speaker 6: on the G six ranks as well. But I would

686
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,359

00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 6: part of our community. The community helped me out big time.

692
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,879
Speaker 6: We've got a discord server. I joked about it time

693
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 6: and again here on the show, but like trying to

694
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 6: go into our game day channel and see what people

695
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 6: have to say. It's like reading the matrix. Okay, there's

696
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 6: a lot going on. We get thousands of messages that

697
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 6: are sent every Saturday, and it was a huge help

698
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 6: for me trying to pay attention to everything as like

699
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 6: a one man band here tonight. We've got a great

700
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 6: community of people that love talking college football. I love

701
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 6: talking just amongst themselves, and I'd encourage everybody to go

702
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 6: out there to for bowlers dot Com and at least

703
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 6: check it out. Check it out. You also can vote

704
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 6: in the for ball our Top twelve pole, which is

705
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 6: going to drop bright and early tomorrow morning and Sunday morning.

706
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 6: If you're a certified or Premium member, you get access

707
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,320
Speaker 6: to that. I'm curious to see where things go. I

708
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 6: don't know if we're going to see a whole lot

709
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 6: of change in that pole, but there are always subtle

710
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 6: shifts even if there aren't gigantic upsets. Let's take a

711
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:33,479
Speaker 6: look at the acc Virginia wins seventeen to sixteen over

712
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 6: unc My lock of the week of the week, don't

713
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:43,760
Speaker 6: know what this was. Virginia won this game by about

714
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 6: six inches. I've got a pen here. They won by

715
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 6: about that much. So UVA goes.

716
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 3: To overtime against UNC.

717
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 6: They get the ball first, they score a touchdown, they

718
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:02,479
Speaker 6: kick the extra point. UNC that's its turn. Next they

719
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 6: score almost immediately, they go for two, which I thought

720
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 6: was the right call. I know Tony Elliott spoke in

721
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 6: the post game and was surprised that they went for two.

722
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 6: I don't know why he'd be surprised that they went

723
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 6: for two. This is a team that was previously and

724
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 6: is still winless in the ACC. What Like, what's the

725
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 6: point why I play for the tithe So say what

726
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 6: you want about Belichick.

727
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 3: I thought that was the right move.

728
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 6: They didn't get it by about this much, doesn't mean

729
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 6: it was the wrong call. This was not at all

730
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,280
Speaker 6: an impressive win for Virginia. I think it goes without

731
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 6: saying they were a ten and a half point favorite here.

732
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 6: But a win is a win. And you know it's crazy,

733
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 6: but the Whos are in a position now by virtue

734
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 6: of a loss that I'll talk about in a second,

735
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 6: where they actually control their own ACC destiny.

736
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 3: Totally wild.

737
00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 6: You want to talk about big twelve teams that are

738
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:03,320
Speaker 6: kind of fine under the radar and sneaking up on everybody.

739
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,439
Speaker 6: We need to have a Virginia conversation because right now,

740
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 6: if everything breaks according to projections, we're looking at a

741
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 6: Georgia Tech Virginia ACC title game, which some people had

742
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 6: Georgia Tech, nobody had Virginia. I don't care who if

743
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 6: you had Virginia. If you claim you had Virginia, I

744
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 6: think you're full of it. What I'm worried about on

745
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 6: the Virginia side is that there are definite hints that

746
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 6: they're an LRO team. LRO is not my term, I

747
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 6: guess collectively at this point, it's our term, but LRO

748
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 6: stands for luck runs Out. Virginia's last three wins have

749
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 6: come by a combined six points. There's something to be

750
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 6: said for a team that finds ways to win close games,

751
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 6: and they are winning close games. They're three to zero

752
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 6: in overtime games so far this year. And surely there

753
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 6: are teams around college football that would kill to be

754
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:56,760
Speaker 6: better in close games.

755
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 3: Just ask the Auburn Tigers. They would love it.

756
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:05,799
Speaker 6: But I'm not fully invested in Virginia at this point.

757
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 6: Great story. I'm worried that eventually one of these is

758
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 6: going to come back to bite them. Either way, They've

759
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 6: got a clear path to nine and three, At a

760
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 6: minimum ten and two maybe better. Talk about an incredible

761
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 6: success for Tony Elliott, Chandler Morris. What they've done here

762
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 6: building this program kind of in the offseason has been remarkable.

763
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 3: Talk about another team that deserves the flowers.

764
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 6: North Carolina meanwhile still winless in the ACC, but played

765
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 6: a good game all things considered. Look, UNC is not good.

766
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 6: This is not a good team. But UNC found a

767
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 6: way to hang with what apparently might be one of

768
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,399
Speaker 6: the better teams of the conference, and they could have won.

769
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 6: And I approve of going for two. So at least

770
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 6: for this week, everybody can get off of Bill Belichick's back.

771
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 6: The game that I mentioned that now springs Virginia loose

772
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 6: and allows them to control of their own destiny.

773
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 3: Is this one?

774
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 6: Wake Forest thirteen SMU twelve. I am saying that with

775
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 6: a question mark at the end on purpose. I just

776
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 6: don't get it. I don't know what is going on

777
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 6: with wake Forest, but I do know, and I give

778
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 6: us credit for the fact that very early on we

779
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 6: called out wake Forest as being a genuine pain in

780
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 6: the ass because they are a pain in the ass

781
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 6: and they play hard.

782
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 3: There were eight.

783
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 6: Turnovers in this game. There were two missfield goals, there

784
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 6: was a block the extra point, there were seventeen punts.

785
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 6: If Dan we're here right now, I would demand that

786
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 6: he do a madic drive chart reading, and if I

787
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 6: had the sound on my board, I would do it

788
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:10,720
Speaker 6: for myself. But SMU lost this one on a fifty

789
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:15,800
Speaker 6: yard field goal at the gun. Wake Forest played good defense.

790
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:18,879
Speaker 6: They turned the ball over five times, but they still

791
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,439
Speaker 6: found a way to win this one. And they're five

792
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 6: and two, by the way, another team you know, sal

793
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 6: what you want, even if they finished six and six.

794
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 6: I remember looking at preseason projections that had wake Forest

795
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 6: as three and nine, four and eight, five wins. Jake

796
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 6: Dickerd's first year, I know we talked a lot about

797
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:44,399
Speaker 6: how the vibes were good, and there was a question of, hey,

798
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 6: how far can good vibes take wake Forest? Well might

799
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 6: take them to a bowl, which is pretty damn cool.

800
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 6: Let's talk about the big ten, shall we? Washington forty two,

801
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 6: Illinois twenty five?

802
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,240
Speaker 2: What was this? Not much defense?

803
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:08,240
Speaker 6: Forget about that, But collectively, these teams put on a show.

804
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 6: Offensively a combined eighteen of twenty four on third downs.

805
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 6: The story I thought was Washington's offense. I watched a

806
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 6: fair amount of this game. There were a bunch going

807
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 6: on at the same time, but Washington only had two drives.

808
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 6: They had eight drives in total, but only two of

809
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 6: them did not go for touchdowns. That's how they end

810
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 6: up with forty two points. DeMont Williams was awesome in

811
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,879
Speaker 6: this game. Dunzel Boston was awesome. We got a bunch

812
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 6: of Denzel Boston suggestions for our doodle alerts. I'll throw

813
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 6: his name in the ring there when we get to

814
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 6: that part of the show. But three forty six in

815
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 6: total yardage for Demond Williams, four touchdowns. I don't know

816
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 6: what to make Washington. I think I have pretty consistently

817
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 6: been higher on Washington than Dan. But I think I

818
00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 6: picked Illinois in the run up to this game, and

819
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:04,320
Speaker 6: so I think Washington is a bit of a two face.

820
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 6: Sometimes to see your performance like this, other times to

821
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 6: see your performance like we saw against Ohio State where

822
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 6: they score six points. No shame in scoring six points

823
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:17,839
Speaker 6: against Ohio State. I think that might be their average.

824
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 6: But Washington right now seems to have found its guy

825
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 6: at quarterback. There are obviously good vibes around that we'll

826
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 6: see if Jedfish stays, because there's always a risk that

827
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 6: Jedfish is going to leave. But alas, you gotta like

828
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 6: the win if you are a Washington fan, they've got

829
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 6: a pretty clear path than nine and three, which would

830
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 6: be about a three win improvement over where they were

831
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 6: a year ago. And again another case of Jedfish taking

832
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 6: over a program and doing a pretty good job building

833
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 6: it into something a little bit better. Illinois, by the way,

834
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:56,240
Speaker 6: has played eight games now I was looking at their schedule,

835
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 6: I'd say five of the eight were against teams that

836
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 6: I think are pretty good. Last four games, though, are

837
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 6: considerably easier. So if we're talking about teams that could

838
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 6: go nine to three, I think Illinois is one of

839
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:10,399
Speaker 6: those teams that could go nine to three. I think

840
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 6: there's a pretty good shot they end up going nine

841
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 6: to three as well. It's still a good team, but

842
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:17,959
Speaker 6: they were just not able to get over the hump

843
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 6: in this one on the road. Looks like we had

844
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 6: a nice little backdoor cover for Michigan State in the

845
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 6: Michigan Michigan State game. It was a thirty one to

846
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 6: twenty final in favor of Michigan, but Sparti did score

847
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 6: a late touchdown to cover the fourteen I believe was

848
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 6: the closing line. So if you did go with a

849
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 6: little brother here plus the points Mike Hart's words not mine,

850
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:49,839
Speaker 6: you came out on top.

851
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 3: Good for them.

852
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 6: We also had this one. I usually don't play this

853
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 6: sound twice, but this one really deserves us who've just

854
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 6: got burded. Iowa absolutely throttled Minnesota. They throttled them.

855
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 2: They were up thirty one.

856
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 6: I almost said thirty four. It doesn't matter. They were

857
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,319
Speaker 6: up thirty one to zip at halftime. They ended up

858
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:15,359
Speaker 6: winning by thirty eight. But they only had two hundred

859
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 6: and seventy four yards, which is kind of a statistical anomaly.

860
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:23,400
Speaker 6: You expect such things from the Iowa Hawkeyes at this point,

861
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 6: but they had a pick six, they had a punt

862
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 6: return that contributed. I guess if you're an Iowa fan,

863
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:31,799
Speaker 6: it's a good feeling to put up forty one points

864
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 6: in a rivalry game.

865
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 3: You'll take that.

866
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 6: Speaking of teams that could end up with like a

867
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 6: nine and three record, I was just there again. Don't

868
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 6: mind them might not win anything. Of real merit go

869
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:49,919
Speaker 6: to a playoff, even contend for a conference, but they'll

870
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 6: end up playing in a pretty good bowl game in

871
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,800
Speaker 6: a warm climate. Give you somewhere to go in January.

872
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 6: Not bad, not bad. They are running the crap out

873
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,879
Speaker 6: of the ball. Mark Gronowski actually had a decent enough

874
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 6: day through the air. Wasn't exactly like he's putting up

875
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 6: crazy numbers, but it was one of the better passing

876
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 6: games we've seen out of him, just in terms of

877
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 6: raw efficiency. If you're a Minnesota fan, I I don't

878
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 6: know what to say. All I can say is you

879
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 6: should email me if you want that invite to the

880
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:26,360
Speaker 6: Golden Gophers support zoom call that we're going to do

881
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:31,879
Speaker 6: at some point in early December. Cliverbo atgmail dot com.

882
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 6: I called this out at the start of the year.

883
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:35,879
Speaker 6: I'll call it out again. Now let me know if

884
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 6: you want to be part of that. This is a

885
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 6: real thing. I will do this because every year I'm

886
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 6: higher on Minnesota than I should be. I don't realize

887
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:46,879
Speaker 6: it until we get to late October early November. It's

888
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:50,479
Speaker 6: one of my fatal flaws. I'll admit it openly. Forty

889
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 6: one to three is a really bad showing here, and

890
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,840
Speaker 6: this is a really bad showing. A kudos to Iowa.

891
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 6: There are plenty of other Power Conference games that went down.

892
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:02,359
Speaker 6: If there are any that we did not get to

893
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 6: and you learn something from them, please shout it out.

894
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 6: Let us know in the comments. We're gonna flash those

895
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:11,359
Speaker 6: up here in just a little bit. The only other

896
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:13,959
Speaker 6: game that I want to call out is what went

897
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:18,839
Speaker 6: down between Memphis and USF. We previewed this game on

898
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 6: the Thursday preview episode, and this is one of those

899
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 6: that had real significance, certainly in the American but more

900
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 6: broadly speaking in the playoff chase. Still seems like it

901
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:38,319
Speaker 6: might be Boise Spot to lose, but certainly USF has

902
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 6: had a really good season. Memphis did lose to UAB, granted,

903
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 6: but that was their only loss and now they come

904
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 6: away victorious in this one by a thirty four to

905
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 6: thirty one score. This was a really entertaining game. I

906
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:55,879
Speaker 6: don't know if people had a chance to watch this

907
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 6: one again. There were plenty of games going on at

908
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 6: pretty much every window throughout the course of Saturday, but

909
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 6: they were over a thousand total yards in this one.

910
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 6: Just as we expected, Memphis was down thirty one to

911
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 6: seventeen going into the fourth quarter. They end up scoring

912
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:19,439
Speaker 6: seventeen unanswered points to win this one. Brendan Lewis threw

913
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 6: the game winning touchdown with about a minute left, which

914
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 6: resulted in a great quote from him that I found

915
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 6: in the game cap. Quote the defense comma, I don't

916
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 6: know what they were thinking. They left the defensive back

917
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:39,439
Speaker 6: one on one on an island, and Tes did what

918
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:43,840
Speaker 6: he does. Tes caught the game winning tenure touchdown pass.

919
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 6: USF did get the ball back, and this is where

920
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 6: comedy sort of ensued. They get the ball back, they

921
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 6: drive the field, They get within range of Nico Grammatica

922
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 6: for I think a forty two yarder, and rather than

923
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 6: try to kick the field goal with about ten seconds left,

924
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 6: they try to throw a pass and they get called

925
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 6: for holding, which pushes everything back ten yards. Nico Gramatica

926
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 6: goes out there, kind of had a little smirk on

927
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 6: his face, looked like he was gonna nail it. Does

928
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:22,360
Speaker 6: not make the fifty two yarder. Alas, the Memphis Tigers

929
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 6: end up with a really big win. I want to

930
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 6: talk more about this one with Dan on Tuesday. It

931
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:30,399
Speaker 6: was truly one of the more entertaining games of the day.

932
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:32,279
Speaker 6: It's gonna be one of those I know he's going

933
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:34,360
Speaker 6: to want to go back and listen to, or go

934
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:36,719
Speaker 6: back and watch, and then you listen to what I

935
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:39,839
Speaker 6: had to say here on the episode, as well as

936
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 6: what other people on our discord had to say as well,

937
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,719
Speaker 6: because this is one of those games that I know

938
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:48,280
Speaker 6: people were really anticipating in the run up to week nine.

939
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 6: It did not disappoint, and bigger picture, there will be

940
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:56,799
Speaker 6: a question that I think comes into play about influence

941
00:51:56,960 --> 00:52:00,400
Speaker 6: on that G six playoff spot. And I don't know

942
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:02,799
Speaker 6: if Memphis will be there. I don't know if it's

943
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:06,399
Speaker 6: too late for us up at this point with multiple losses, but.

944
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 3: We'll see. We'll see.

945
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 6: All right, Here is what we're going to do next.

946
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 6: Because we got so many reverbs that came in on

947
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 6: the reverb line eight five to five verbal three. I

948
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 6: am told from our chief reverb engineer, Shay that this was,

949
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:27,359
Speaker 6: in particular, one of the best weeks we've ever had

950
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,880
Speaker 6: of reverbs. Not a moment too soon, as I have

951
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:33,919
Speaker 6: been sitting here droning on for about fifty three minutes now,

952
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 6: so I need to get a cup of tea or

953
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 6: some tea to lubricate the instrument and bring this baby home.

954
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 6: But in the meantime, here's what y'all had to say

955
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 6: in week nine.

956
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 3: Have a listen.

957
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 6: The beatings will continue until you stop doubting the usures.

958
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:56,800
Speaker 3: By right, this is Bonds from Scotland. This is Brandon

959
00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:57,839
Speaker 3: from Dicky Tom, this.

960
00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 4: Is Hey, this Will and Soda calling with a message

961
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:03,279
Speaker 4: to tie you.

962
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 5: Tried so hard to curse my.

963
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:09,440
Speaker 6: Who's and they had no business lanning, but it didn't

964
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:10,400
Speaker 6: work well.

965
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 4: After one quarter, wake forth as a leave for you

966
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:15,479
Speaker 4: and nothing a negative one offensive yard.

967
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:18,360
Speaker 3: This is not the All Cotco Conference, buddy.

968
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:20,240
Speaker 8: We're a dollar general by um Cheetahs.

969
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:22,800
Speaker 2: A few moments later, we did it.

970
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:26,240
Speaker 8: We won the worst game at the fall History Cookie.

971
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 5: I'm a Stanford fan and I like to petition the

972
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:36,319
Speaker 5: NCAA to replay the third quarter tonight, death Taxes and

973
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:38,920
Speaker 5: case stays showing Kansas who daddy is?

974
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 3: Devanteenth Tray Baby.

975
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:44,800
Speaker 5: Dave Aranda has villain eyebrows. I have the same feeling

976
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 5: about firing Dave Branda as they do about putting down

977
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 5: all the other at the end of the movie. It's

978
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 5: got to be done, but God, I hate it.

979
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 4: I think it's time we start talking to our kids

980
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 4: about Cincinnati football.

981
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 8: Hey, tick your boyt Brooks in Madison, Wisconsin. I'm here

982
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 8: year with your chief reverb Officer Chay. We're at the

983
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:08,720
Speaker 8: wrestling Warfare game and we want to know DJ Flex

984
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 8: takes a pen shake drop midweek falks five million. I'll

985
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 8: say it.

986
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 5: Soler for you.

987
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 6: This week Iowa has an all sense.

988
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 7: Now, are you ready to get back on the Knoski train?

989
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:24,240
Speaker 5: This PREU football train wreck we'll just never.

990
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:27,840
Speaker 1: End losing after the QB fumbles his own tipped pass

991
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:28,840
Speaker 1: in the final minute.

992
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:32,840
Speaker 5: Physical pain. If you have mondrat to severe althor to cootitis,

993
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:33,799
Speaker 5: you know.

994
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 7: That nothing is everything and nothing also describes the effect

995
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:39,440
Speaker 7: that Nick Marsh has had in this game.

996
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:40,760
Speaker 5: Go Blue.

997
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 7: I'm ready to hard launch Jonathan Smith and the entire

998
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:46,280
Speaker 7: coaching staff into the sun.

999
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 8: This is Steve from Atlanta, Georgian calling about eight Wingdiana.

1000
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:51,919
Speaker 5: Smoke him if you got him, Coach sig wins again.

1001
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:57,440
Speaker 4: Sorry about the turbulence flying over Columbia and Starkville. We

1002
00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:00,400
Speaker 4: should beat through right now. The SEC is flying slow

1003
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 4: and study. Please feel free to move about the cabin.

1004
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:05,400
Speaker 2: Hey guys, it's Cole and Tuscaloos.

1005
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:08,000
Speaker 4: And when your clunkers, I guess just.

1006
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 5: Keep picking against the sky.

1007
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 2: I appreciate you, buddy. This is Bill from Texas.

1008
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 8: I think it's said to win your clunkers.

1009
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 7: How about when your claim does. When the fourth quarter

1010
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 7: looked like it was going the way of last week

1011
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:24,440
Speaker 7: against Georgia, those players fought like hell for Lang Kiffin, Hotty,

1012
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 7: Toddy go ReBs. So it was Arkansas versus Auburn in

1013
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:31,399
Speaker 7: the battle of the elite losers, and Arkansas lost. So

1014
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 7: does that mean that we won because we're the most

1015
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:39,480
Speaker 7: elite loser as is Presno, Shayday was proof that it

1016
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:41,920
Speaker 7: doesn't matter who the quarterback is, We're never going to.

1017
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 5: Win the Mountain West ever again.

1018
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 2: We can win the Pac twelve, though.

1019
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 5: I also want to shout out in.

1020
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:49,480
Speaker 2: New England College, who won their.

1021
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:53,280
Speaker 5: First game in fifty one years today in D three Let's.

00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 7: Go North Texas seven and one. Drew Mess to Maker,

Speaker 8: Green Josh and mount wasn't just going to say you

00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:18,320
Speaker 3: Let's go call medor Spinker's Dying.

1032
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 6: Go Doors Baby, big win, big win today. I appreciate

1033
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 6: that somebody called out Indiana's win. I believe by fifty points.

1034
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:31,359
Speaker 6: We probably need to talk more about Indiana because they are,

1035
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:35,799
Speaker 6: of course a killing machine. The caller who mentioned that

1036
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 6: Iowa has an offense, Iowa scored points. I don't know

1037
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 6: about the offense part of it in week nine, but

1038
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 6: certainly more points that we're used to. And you'll take

1039
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 6: it like I'm not splitting hairs. You will take that

1040
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:53,839
Speaker 6: if you're an Iowa fan. We got a unt call,

1041
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 6: which I appreciate. I want to talk more about that

1042
00:56:56,640 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 6: on Tuesday with Dan and last but not least, Lehigh

1043
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:03,439
Speaker 6: one again today. I had to check the box score

1044
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:06,720
Speaker 6: to make sure, but Lehigh is the top ten FCS

1045
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:08,359
Speaker 6: team if they end up with a playoff game, I'm

1046
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:11,360
Speaker 6: gonna have to go over to Goodman Stadium if they

1047
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 6: end up hosting one at some point.

1048
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:14,280
Speaker 3: Here in December.

1049
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 6: Thank you again to everybody for calling in eight five

1050
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 6: to five verbal three. We do the reverbs every week.

1051
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:23,560
Speaker 6: It was a great batch this week, and I know

1052
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:26,040
Speaker 6: there was a lot that was on the cutting room floor.

1053
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:28,520
Speaker 6: So shout out to everybody who took the time to

1054
00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 6: dial in, and of course shout out to our reverb engineer, Shay,

1055
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 6: who is still waiting patiently on the line here and

1056
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 6: is going to help me out. He has been filtering

1057
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:40,760
Speaker 6: through your comments. I have been asking since the start

1058
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 6: of this episode for what you learned in week nine.

1059
00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:50,400
Speaker 3: Let's see him Shay.

1060
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:53,880
Speaker 6: Trash Pile says, I learned that Alabama can win games

1061
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 6: that last year's team.

1062
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 3: Would have lost.

1063
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 2: That's a really good.

1064
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 3: Point on the Alabama side.

1065
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 6: And I have been kicking this around a lot because

1066
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 6: I think if you are not fully briefed on what

1067
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 6: Alabama is in twenty twenty five, and if you don't

1068
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:21,040
Speaker 6: watch the games, the inclination is to go onto the

1069
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:24,480
Speaker 6: stat sheet and to see what they're doing. And they

1070
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 6: very much profile as a one dimensional offense, like it

1071
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:30,440
Speaker 6: is all on Ty Simpson and it is all on

1072
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:34,920
Speaker 6: whatever they can do with Jeremy Bernard Ryan Williams as

1073
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:38,800
Speaker 6: their two playmakers. But we saw it in this game,

1074
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:41,840
Speaker 6: especially with the way that they use Daniel Hill right,

1075
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:44,200
Speaker 6: he's running back, but they're using him out of the backfield.

1076
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:49,880
Speaker 6: Like ty Simpson is getting better. It is clear that

1077
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:52,960
Speaker 6: Caitlin de Boor and Ryan Grubb are very confident in

1078
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:57,320
Speaker 6: his abilities out there, and certainly Alabama is able to

1079
00:58:57,320 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 6: put up points. Alabama is able to come back and

1080
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:03,280
Speaker 6: win a game like they want today in a tough

1081
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 6: road spot against South Carolina. Say what you want about

1082
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:08,840
Speaker 6: South Carolina and where they're at, but they've got a

1083
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:13,080
Speaker 6: pretty good defensive front and ty Simpson was very comfortable

1084
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:17,360
Speaker 6: back there, able to navigate efficiently. So whatever they are doing,

1085
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:20,440
Speaker 6: even if it does not fit into any kind of

1086
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:24,240
Speaker 6: balanced offensive box, Alabama.

1087
00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1088
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 6: Alabama is I think learning us all week in and

1089
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 6: week out.

1090
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 2: Thomas says.

1091
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 6: I learned that Brian Kelly will be coaching in the

1092
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:34,520
Speaker 6: Big Ten next year.

1093
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 2: Will he Willy? I don't know about that.

1094
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:39,800
Speaker 8: Man.

1095
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 6: If you are Brian Kelly, obviously, James Franklin's already there.

1096
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:49,920
Speaker 6: If you are any of these guys who are currently

1097
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 6: coaching at higher level places, I gotta believe that you

1098
00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:56,960
Speaker 6: will be in the hunt for some of these openings.

1099
00:59:57,040 --> 01:00:00,960
Speaker 6: If you are no longer in your current spot. There

1100
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:03,720
Speaker 6: are teams out there that would want Brian Kelly. I

1101
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:08,080
Speaker 6: sure as hell hope it's not Penn State. Penn State's

1102
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 6: coming from this position now with Franklin, where they could

1103
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:13,880
Speaker 6: win the big game. That's essentially why they got rid

1104
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 6: of him. And I know they talk about vibes and

1105
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:23,040
Speaker 6: trajectory the program. I think there's some merit there, but gosh,

1106
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:27,600
Speaker 6: Brian Kelly went out and they did everything they needed

1107
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 6: to do this offseason at LSU to make that team better.

1108
01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:35,760
Speaker 6: Still can't block. The offense is worse. The defense got

1109
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:39,280
Speaker 6: skewed today against what apparently is a much better offense

1110
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:42,120
Speaker 6: than any of us thought possible. I just don't know

1111
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:45,320
Speaker 6: what the case is for Brian Kelly at one of

1112
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 6: those national championship tier institutions that at least are coming

1113
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 6: from the position of we need to win the big game.

1114
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:55,960
Speaker 6: Somebody would hire him.

1115
01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 3: For sure.

1116
01:00:57,040 --> 01:01:01,760
Speaker 6: He's still a good coach, But speaking as a Penn Stater,

1117
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:06,280
Speaker 6: I hope it's not Penn State. What I learned is

1118
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:10,080
Speaker 6: that BYU is fun and feisty. They are, and I've

1119
01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:13,040
Speaker 6: been learning that week in and week out. I have

1120
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:17,200
Speaker 6: heard from a lot of BYU people out there. We

1121
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:20,200
Speaker 6: get comments from BYU folks that listen to the show,

1122
01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:24,800
Speaker 6: many of whom are very passionate about the Cougars, and

1123
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:30,040
Speaker 6: the overwhelming sentiment has been, you guys aren't talking enough

1124
01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:32,800
Speaker 6: about BYU. No one's talking enough about BYU, but you

1125
01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:35,040
Speaker 6: guys on the show especially aren't talking a whole lot

1126
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:38,479
Speaker 6: about YU. By didn't really play anybody first couple weeks

1127
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:41,520
Speaker 6: of the year, and so I think what they are

1128
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:46,320
Speaker 6: now was sort of masked up until very recently. But

1129
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:49,919
Speaker 6: perhaps that bit of a run up that they had

1130
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:52,760
Speaker 6: was also what they needed to give bear Bachmeyer the

1131
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:55,840
Speaker 6: experience to get him comfortable, to put him in a

1132
01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:58,920
Speaker 6: position like we saw today where he went off and

1133
01:01:59,040 --> 01:02:02,240
Speaker 6: was essentially the entire offense. Again, I reiterate what I

1134
01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:05,800
Speaker 6: said earlier. They are not treating him his liability and

1135
01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:09,760
Speaker 6: to have a true freshman out there that actively is

1136
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:13,040
Speaker 6: part of the game plan and you are utilizing his

1137
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 6: skill sets and you're not afraid to let him be

1138
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:18,800
Speaker 6: what he is. That is a rarity. You just do

1139
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:21,840
Speaker 6: not see that much around college. But it's not impossible

1140
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:24,600
Speaker 6: it happens all the time, but it is certainly not

1141
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:27,400
Speaker 6: something that happens more than fifty percent of the cases,

1142
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:31,320
Speaker 6: especially with the true freshman. The whole situation at BYU

1143
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 6: this year at quarterback has been a one off, to

1144
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 6: say the least. It has been unexpected, and the success

1145
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 6: I think that they're having with bear Bachmeyer has been

1146
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:46,959
Speaker 6: unexpected as well. But again, this has been a great

1147
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:50,520
Speaker 6: campaign and Kalanie Sataki has proven time and again that

1148
01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 6: he's a good coach. He knows how to navigate these situations.

1149
01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:55,240
Speaker 6: He's done it in the past and he'll do it

1150
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:59,040
Speaker 6: in the future. So I am damn impressed with BYU,

1151
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:02,400
Speaker 6: says I learned that Lane Kiffin is getting better as

1152
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:10,240
Speaker 6: a head coach. It could win the SEC. I think

1153
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:15,439
Speaker 6: they could win the SEC. I believe that. I don't

1154
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:17,680
Speaker 6: know if there is any perfect team in the SEC.

1155
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 6: The closest to that is probably Texas A and M

1156
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:22,800
Speaker 6: right now with the way that they're playing, But everybody

1157
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:24,640
Speaker 6: else kind of has a flaw. Everybody else has looked

1158
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:28,080
Speaker 6: beatable at some points. Even A and M has looked beatable.

1159
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:30,280
Speaker 6: A and M hasn't blown doors off everybody they did

1160
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:33,200
Speaker 6: at LSU tonight, but there have been some close games.

1161
01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:36,480
Speaker 6: The Auburn game was a little bit weird. The Notre

1162
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 6: Dame game out of conference, mind you, but Notre Dame

1163
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:41,200
Speaker 6: game was a one point affair earlier in the year.

1164
01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:44,840
Speaker 6: They got into a battle a week ago against Arkansas. Right,

1165
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:51,480
Speaker 6: They're not perfect, but All Miss is very interesting because

1166
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 6: they're getting really solid quarterback play out of Trinidad Chambliss.

1167
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 6: They're really interesting because I thought their defense stepped up

1168
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:00,120
Speaker 6: in a really significant way.

1169
01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:01,480
Speaker 3: I think.

1170
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:05,840
Speaker 6: Some of the parts is really intriguing. On the Old

1171
01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:10,040
Speaker 6: Miss side, I think it's just working better for Lane

1172
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 6: Kiffin this year for whatever reason. You know, he's still

1173
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:14,840
Speaker 6: making some weird decisions and he's still trying to be

1174
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:18,320
Speaker 6: hyper aggressive and do what he's kind of always done.

1175
01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:22,760
Speaker 6: It's just working better. And I think the field in

1176
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:27,680
Speaker 6: the SEC is conducive to a bit of a wild card.

1177
01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 6: By the way, Ole Miss, as I'm talking through here

1178
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:33,800
Speaker 6: with teams in the Big twelve and the ACC even

1179
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:36,600
Speaker 6: the Big Ten to some extent, teams that have flown

1180
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:38,920
Speaker 6: under the radar, teams that maybe we looked at the

1181
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:42,400
Speaker 6: preseason and weren't sure what to expect, and expect a

1182
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:44,280
Speaker 6: whole lot of them. Ole Miss is right there. We

1183
01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:46,160
Speaker 6: looked at Old Miss's schedule, and we said, all right,

1184
01:04:46,240 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 6: schedule looks good, but they lose a lot to lose.

1185
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:52,760
Speaker 6: Jackson Dark Jacks start was the first round pick. There

1186
01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:55,560
Speaker 6: was a lot new coming in this year, and so

1187
01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 6: I think at least on that front, on that front,

1188
01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:02,880
Speaker 6: to assemble the pieces very quickly to have the stones

1189
01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:05,919
Speaker 6: to make the move to Trinidad. Chambliss after he got

1190
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:09,120
Speaker 6: on a bit of a heater early. All of that

1191
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:11,440
Speaker 6: reflects I think a really really good coach and it's

1192
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:14,000
Speaker 6: understandable why he would be the top target at Florida.

1193
01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:17,400
Speaker 6: We'll see if he decides he wants to take that

1194
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:20,040
Speaker 6: gig or not. But in the meantime, he's got a

1195
01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:24,600
Speaker 6: lot to play for this season at all, miss. I

1196
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:30,320
Speaker 6: learned that Indiana, Navy, Cincinnati, Virginia. It's like you're seventeen

1197
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:38,120
Speaker 6: of an NCAA fourteen dynasty. Indiana's looked really good. We

1198
01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:42,000
Speaker 6: know this much. Navy is having a good year. Cincinnati

1199
01:05:42,040 --> 01:05:45,880
Speaker 6: and Virginia we talked through, this is what makes college

1200
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:50,920
Speaker 6: football great. This is why we like college football because

1201
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:53,960
Speaker 6: teams like this, especially in this day and age, are

1202
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:57,560
Speaker 6: finding ways to eat at the big table. And that's

1203
01:05:57,600 --> 01:05:59,960
Speaker 6: a lot of fun. I don't know how long it's sustained,

1204
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:04,600
Speaker 6: but it's a lot of fun. Final one here from

1205
01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:08,240
Speaker 6: Caleb in Kansas City. I learned that the Hawk gys

1206
01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:10,840
Speaker 6: can be scary when they click on all cylinders. Let's

1207
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:13,720
Speaker 6: go Hawks again. I don't know if they clicked on

1208
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:16,120
Speaker 6: all cylinders today. I need to go back and watch

1209
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:19,360
Speaker 6: that game. What I do know is that they beat

1210
01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:22,200
Speaker 6: the crap out of Minnesota.

1211
01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:22,520
Speaker 5: Right.

1212
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:26,400
Speaker 6: There's probably a bigger conversation to be had about Minnesota

1213
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:29,800
Speaker 6: and where they come down in this whole conversation and

1214
01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:30,400
Speaker 6: not Iowa.

1215
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:32,480
Speaker 3: But look, all you.

1216
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:34,120
Speaker 6: Can do is when the game's in front of you,

1217
01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:38,960
Speaker 6: and Iowa has been in way too many twenty to seventeen,

1218
01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:45,320
Speaker 6: twenty to nineteen style games, I think for Iowa fans comfort,

1219
01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:52,560
Speaker 6: So yeah, you will absolutely positively take a forty one

1220
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:55,200
Speaker 6: to three victory. Thank you to everybody for sending in

1221
01:06:55,240 --> 01:06:58,720
Speaker 6: those comments. Last, but not least, let's do some dood alerts.

1222
01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:04,640
Speaker 6: If everybody is cool with that bunch, come in. Let's

1223
01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:09,000
Speaker 6: give a shout out to Auburn's Alex McPherson, who kicks

1224
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:11,560
Speaker 6: six field goals in their win on the road today

1225
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:16,760
Speaker 6: over Arkansas. Denzel Boston from you dub of course. Casey

1226
01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:21,919
Speaker 6: Concepcion from Texas A and M had a great day

1227
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:24,560
Speaker 6: in the special teams game where a turn to punt

1228
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:28,440
Speaker 6: had another long punt return. Bar Bachmeyer goes without saying

1229
01:07:28,600 --> 01:07:32,040
Speaker 6: was the entire offense. Ryan Nibblett again coming up big

1230
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:36,960
Speaker 6: for Texas in their overtime win. Jimmy Rolder from Michigan

1231
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:39,640
Speaker 6: the linebacker was all over the field in this game

1232
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:43,800
Speaker 6: against Michigan State. The last two here are Cole Payton,

1233
01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:46,560
Speaker 6: who is the quarterback I believe for North Dakota State

1234
01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:50,040
Speaker 6: in their win over South Dakota State. And last but

1235
01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:57,000
Speaker 6: not least, somebody ironically, maybe not ironically mentioned Jimmy Sexton.

1236
01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:03,919
Speaker 6: Jimmy Sexton of course right now, the ultimate dude. Thank

1237
01:08:03,960 --> 01:08:07,600
Speaker 6: you to everybody out there for watching this, if you

1238
01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:10,120
Speaker 6: are watching live, for downloading, for supporting. I don't know

1239
01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:13,240
Speaker 6: how this went. It is different. It felt different for

1240
01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:16,200
Speaker 6: me too, but hopefully you got what you needed. Hopefully

1241
01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:18,639
Speaker 6: you enjoyed it. If you got any tips or tricks,

1242
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:20,639
Speaker 6: let me know Solid Rebel at gmail dot com. I'm

1243
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:23,720
Speaker 6: always open to it. Would love to hear from the

1244
01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:26,640
Speaker 6: masses out there. Dan will be back on Tuesday.

1245
01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:29,479
Speaker 2: I do have one final thing.

1246
01:08:32,360 --> 01:08:36,479
Speaker 6: I want to end tonight's show by setting the record

1247
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:39,320
Speaker 6: straight for a second. I want to give a shout

1248
01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:41,760
Speaker 6: out to our friends over at rock m Nation, which

1249
01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:44,400
Speaker 6: is a great Missou site. I've read Rockmnation for like

1250
01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:47,560
Speaker 6: twenty years now. They do a great job covering the

1251
01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:52,040
Speaker 6: Missouri Tigers this week. As you might expect, with the

1252
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:56,639
Speaker 6: carousel spinning in the manner that it has, they posted

1253
01:08:56,680 --> 01:09:01,280
Speaker 6: something talking about the chances of Eli drink Wits leaving

1254
01:09:01,320 --> 01:09:01,759
Speaker 6: to take.

1255
01:09:01,640 --> 01:09:03,840
Speaker 3: Another job, including the one up at Penn State.

1256
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:07,080
Speaker 2: Quote.

1257
01:09:07,360 --> 01:09:13,280
Speaker 6: While geographic fit isn't as important as it used to be, culturally,

1258
01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:17,840
Speaker 6: drink Wits and the wine and cheese crowd of Pennsylvania

1259
01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:20,800
Speaker 6: might not be the easiest.

1260
01:09:20,320 --> 01:09:22,599
Speaker 3: Fit end quote.

1261
01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:24,880
Speaker 6: As you might expect, this one made the rounds a

1262
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:28,800
Speaker 6: little bit within the Penn State community, certainly among the

1263
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 6: penn Stators that I know, and the universal response was wait,

1264
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:34,719
Speaker 6: wine and cheese?

1265
01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:35,080
Speaker 5: Really?

1266
01:09:36,479 --> 01:09:37,320
Speaker 2: I don't blame.

1267
01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:41,360
Speaker 6: Anyone for not understanding this state. Okay, this is one

1268
01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:44,600
Speaker 6: of the weirdest states in the Union. We are bookended

1269
01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:49,960
Speaker 6: by big cities and steel plants and coal mines, and

1270
01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:54,400
Speaker 6: in between we've got a state Capital, State Game Lands,

1271
01:09:54,400 --> 01:10:00,439
Speaker 6: and obviously State College. The Penn State crowd is a

1272
01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:06,000
Speaker 6: combination of Eagles fans and Steelers fans, with the side

1273
01:10:06,040 --> 01:10:08,759
Speaker 6: of the Jersey Shore maybe a dash of New York City.

1274
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:14,400
Speaker 6: Most of us here in this community are from places

1275
01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:19,320
Speaker 6: you've never heard of, right, I'm taught like Wallnaport nescapec

1276
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:26,360
Speaker 6: mechanics Burg. My high school mascot quite literally was inspired

1277
01:10:26,360 --> 01:10:28,680
Speaker 6: by the factory that made all the cement in the

1278
01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:34,640
Speaker 6: Panama Canal. So this is a different place with a

1279
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:37,200
Speaker 6: different kind of mentality than I think was portrayed here.

1280
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:40,880
Speaker 6: If we are fancy, it is like the most blue

1281
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:44,880
Speaker 6: collar version of fancy. That's why the uniforms are still

1282
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:47,960
Speaker 6: that boring blue and white. That's why you got people

1283
01:10:48,040 --> 01:10:51,320
Speaker 6: chug and yingling in random fields outside the stadium before

1284
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:55,920
Speaker 6: all the games. And why in college our wine nights

1285
01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:58,479
Speaker 6: consisted of a guy who found a case of boons farm.

1286
01:11:00,320 --> 01:11:04,040
Speaker 6: I am not sure where Eli Drinkwitz stands on cheap booze,

1287
01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:09,360
Speaker 6: but I know that his story was hashed in rural Arkansas.

1288
01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:12,400
Speaker 6: I know he grew up in a town known for

1289
01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:15,360
Speaker 6: a spinach factory. I believe I know he had a

1290
01:11:15,360 --> 01:11:18,240
Speaker 6: big family that was struggling to make ends meet, that

1291
01:11:18,320 --> 01:11:22,559
Speaker 6: he cut grass to help make money, and that his

1292
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:26,000
Speaker 6: career has taken him from the southern tip of Appalachia

1293
01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:30,120
Speaker 6: to the northern part right now of the Ozarks. Other

1294
01:11:30,200 --> 01:11:32,599
Speaker 6: than being a family man and a really good coach,

1295
01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:35,360
Speaker 6: he's a button pusher who knows how to ruffle some feathers.

1296
01:11:36,160 --> 01:11:41,639
Speaker 6: So frankly, Missouri fans and whoever wrote this, he sounds

1297
01:11:41,680 --> 01:11:46,280
Speaker 6: a lot like one of us, and I'm happy to

1298
01:11:46,320 --> 01:11:50,559
Speaker 6: remind everybody of that time and again until a couple

1299
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:54,439
Speaker 6: months from now when Penn State eventually hires Matt Rule.

1300
01:11:55,320 --> 01:11:58,280
Speaker 6: That's all for tonight's show. Thank you for bearing with me.

1301
01:11:58,520 --> 01:12:01,160
Speaker 6: Dan will be back. As I said on Tuesday. In

1302
01:12:01,200 --> 01:12:04,679
Speaker 6: the meantime, you know, the drill as always stay solid.

1303
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:11,920
Speaker 6: H m hm
