1
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal hull. That for me, I'm

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: a man, I'm forty.

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 2: I've heard so many players say, well, I want to

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:10,639
Speaker 2: be happy.

5
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: You want to be happy for a day? Da stake

6
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: is that?

7
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:19,479
Speaker 2: Whoo whoom? And Dan and Tye welcome back to the

8
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 2: solid verbal Boys and girls. My name is ty Hildebrandt.

9
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 2: That guy over there, the illustrious, the incomparable Dan Rubinstein, sir,

10
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 2: how are you, Ty?

11
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: I'm great. I was thinking about this week six preview

12
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: show yesterday. We were actually chatting about it because we

13
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 1: obviously spend a lot more time on the week's nickname. Yeah,

14
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: we do the actual games. It's always always. I really

15
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: feel like we are in a fantastic place. I know

16
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: you're gonna plug everything we need to plug momentarily. We

17
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: have a lot to get to both in terms of

18
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: games and show stuff. But we're this is week six, correct.

19
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 2: That is factually correct.

20
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, We're approaching the halfway point of the season, which

21
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: means we are are either in or about to stick

22
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: our toes into the waters of knowledge of data. What

23
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: we know about teams has become more and more robust,

24
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: and after last week's absolute bloodbath of ranked teams of

25
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: my picks whatever I've decided to rethink or underthink in

26
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: certain instances how I approach previews and picks. And of

27
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: course that got me thinking about love ty.

28
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 2: Of course.

29
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I had a pretty good love run

30
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: when I was single in New York. Okay, like I

31
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: got along with a lot of people. I had a

32
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: great time. You know, you're you're growing as a person,

33
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: You're growing in terms of what you're looking for in

34
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: a relationship. Hold on, hold on, hold on now, I want.

35
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: You to let the piano music just play on its own.

36
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: Continued in.

37
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: But there came a point every three or four months

38
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: that a lovely gal would say to me, Dan, so

39
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: what are we Sometimes at a restaurant, sometimes at a park,

40
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: sometimes in a bedroom.

41
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 2: Hey now?

42
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: And my response was all the time, I don't know.

43
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of happy with how things are. And

44
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: my voice would go up like that. And then I

45
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: met Jody with an eye, and after a few weeks,

46
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: I said.

47
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: I really like hanging out with this gal.

48
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: And we started making plans to hang out further and

49
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: further down the road, and we're still talking about the

50
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: Week six nickname. To be clear, we're still talking about Well,

51
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: first of all, so what are we? Is one of

52
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: the s's And then I asked her. I said, I

53
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: think we should be in a ship ship right, in

54
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: a ship as in relationship. And I looked at this

55
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: week's slate and I said to myself, is it a

56
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: shipper Saturday? Who's ship worthy? Who do I want?

57
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 2: Who?

58
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: Which one of these teams in these matchups do I

59
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: want to bring home to Mom? And that's how I'm approaching.

60
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: I want somebody who has their act together. I want

61
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: somebody well rounded. I want somebody without a glaring red

62
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: flag in my life. I just want a good hang,

63
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: is what I want. It's a shipper Saturday. I have

64
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: shipworthy Saturday. But yeah, your mileage may vary.

65
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 2: Well, that was a lot of mileage, if I'm being clear.

66
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 2: But or so what are we? So?

67
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: What are we? Saturday? Yeah?

68
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 2: No, I think it's all relevant. We are at this

69
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 2: point now in week six of the college football season.

70
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: Hello, welcome, I'm Ty.

71
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: He's Dan or a solid verbal or a college football podcast,

72
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: I promise. But we are at this point now where

73
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 2: it's a fair question to start looking back at the

74
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 2: data we have. We have a month and change worth

75
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 2: of college football on field action, that we can evaluate,

76
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: that we can listen too, that we can open our

77
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 2: hearts up to sure, and now we're gonna make some

78
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 2: really bad picks as part of this podcast, but tradition,

79
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 2: we're glad to have you with us. If you would

80
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: like a Solid Verbal shirt after all that, go on

81
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 2: out to solid verbal dot com. Most of these smaller

82
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 2: sizes are gone.

83
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: If you're somebody who likes high rotation shirts and you're

84
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: looking for a larger size, numbers are dwindling pretty quickly there,

85
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: so i'd grab them while you can. They're great. I

86
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: just got mine yesterday. Oh it is soft, Yeah, I

87
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: got I got the green one. I'll probably get the

88
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: cream one as well, but it is real soft. It

89
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: actually surprised me because I consider myself to be a

90
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: bit of an expert. It's a great shirt.

91

Speaker 2: I have nothing to add to that without further Ado,

107
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 2: should we just dive in.

108
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: Let's do it.

109
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 2: DA time to help you the week.

110
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: Help.

111
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 2: I need picks of the week. How'd your picks do

112
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 2: last week? By the way, you recall, not super No, No, well.

113
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: Look, in fairness, my lock of the week was Maryland

114
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: and I read out the divorgac and he read out

115
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: the drive chart to make amends to Iowa fans for

116
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: picking against their team in such dramatic fashion. So no,

117
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: that highlighted a pretty down week for me in terms

118
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: of picks, in terms of emotions with how Oregon looked

119
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: against Stanford and look, we all suffer. It's about bouncing back.

120
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: It's about bouncing back.

121
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 2: I was delinquid in my duties last week. I forgot

122
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 2: to issue a window of opportunity. We have literally had

123
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 2: people email in, tweet us, call us and.

124
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: Say, look I go by this.

125
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 2: I did it as a joke when we first started

126
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 2: doing it. At the time had the mysterious day job

127
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 2: trying to balance life with work with podcast, and it

128
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 2: was important. It was essential for me to identify that

129
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 2: window of opportunity. Apparently it is for others as well.

130
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: Here is what I would say to you in this

131
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 2: week six. Week five was nut, so we had a

132
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 2: lot of games, at least on paper that looked very intriguing.

133
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 2: I don't know if it quite worked out that way

134
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 2: for teams outside of you know, the Oregon Ducks and

135
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 2: Notre Dame Fighting Irish. But right this week, I think

136
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 2: you've got one of two options. You can either do

137
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 2: your stuff as a normal human early and miss the

138
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 2: Red River shootout. May not be into that, you may

139
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 2: not care. Or you can go late and miss the

140
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 2: BAMA A and M game. You could miss Michigan Nebraska,

141
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 2: you can miss Notre Dame, Virginia, Tech ELSU Kentucky. If

142
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 2: it were me, if I were going out, I would

143
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 2: probably do them early because I think the nighttime, the nightcap,

144
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 2: has many more ingredients for a bit of chaos. I

145
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 2: think some strange stuff could happen at night. We're going

146
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 2: to talk through all of that. But I'm giving you

147
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 2: one of two options, one of you a little RPO.

148
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 2: If you're interested, sure, take it from me. You can

149
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 2: miss Virginia Tech, Notre Dame. You can afford to miss.

150
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 2: You can afford to miss Michigan Nebraska. But yeah, I

151
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 2: would opt for the later games if you have to

152
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 2: accomplish human things on Saturday. But you know, to each

153
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 2: their own, let's start at high noon. I mentioned the

154
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 2: Red River rivalry, the Red River Showdown, neither red River shootown.

155
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 2: We still call it by its name. Here on the

156
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 2: solid verbal Dan some stats for all y'all. First off,

157
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 2: this is a rivalry, which means.

158
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: I mean, if you throw those records out, I don't

159
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: know if you were being dramatic. Yeah, I count on

160
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: you for this kind of board. It's Saturday, by the way,

161
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: soundboard Saturday.

162
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 2: It could be.

163
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

164
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 2: Oklahoma has won six of the last eight matchups here.

165
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 2: Of those eight, seven have been one possession games. So

166
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 2: clearly not an exaggeration to say, hey, this is going

167
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 2: to be a close game. I think it will be again.

168
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 2: I think it will be again. Now for me personally,

169
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 2: I've had a ton of trouble picking Big twelve games

170
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 2: this season, so I would say take anything I have

171
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 2: to say on this game with a rather serious grain

172
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 2: of salt. But it seems fairly obvious to me that

173
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 2: the Texas defense has been blow average this season. Is

174
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 2: that a fair statement?

175
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: Definitely? Yeah. We saw Texas Tech, especially with a backup quarterback,

176
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: throw all over them. Then we saw Zach Evans have

177
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: his way for stretches last week in the TCU matchup,

178
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: So I think fair to say probably the lowest unit.

179
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: The worst part of this game is the Texas defense,

180
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: especially in the open field, especially at times upfront.

181
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 2: At times upfront, yeah, I mean they're better against the

182
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 2: run than the past, but they're kind of bad at both.

183
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 2: And there were hints on the Oklahoma side during that

184
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 2: Kansas State win. We talked about it on the Recap

185
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 2: show that maybe they were starting to come out of

186
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 2: their fog, maybe they were correcting some of what has

187
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 2: ailed them through the first couple weeks of the season.

188
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 2: It's not there yet, but some early indicators that perhaps

189
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 2: they're starting to pull out of that.

190
00:09:59,559 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 1: I do think.

191
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 2: I think this has the makings of a real shootout,

192
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 2: not one in name only. Certainly, if Texas is going

193
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 2: to win. How many points do they need to score

194
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 2: thirty eight.

195
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: Dan against Oklahoma?

196
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 2: No?

197
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: I mean how many did Nebraska need to score to

198
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: beat Oklahoma twenty seven? I think it's high twenties probably

199
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: if you're playing a relatively complete game.

200
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, where are you at with this game?

201
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: Well? As I mentioned at the top of the show,

202
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: I'm going with the more dependable team that has fewer

203
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: red flags. If I'm bringing home a team to mom,

204
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: I'm bringing home Oklahoma right now.

205
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 2: Now.

206
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: I know they're not as explosive on offense as we've

207
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: gotten used to, and the offensive line isn't where it was,

208
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: But Texas is going to beat you with Bijon Robinson

209
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 1: and whatever comes from Bejon Robinson's success indirectly, so play action,

210
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: a focus, and stacking the box. Whatever it turns out,

211
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: Oklahoma upfront is probably where they're strongest this year. They're

212
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 1: making plays upfront, they're stopping the run, They're forcing teams

213
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: to beat them over the top, and it has been

214
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,719
Speaker 1: difficult for teams to do so. But now Texas has

215
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: an offense that is perhaps beyond what Oklahoma has seen

216
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: thus far. But right now with Oklahoma, with the step

217
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: that they took forward last week against Kansas State on offense,

218
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: I just think there's less to worry about with Oklahoma,

219
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: and the Texas defense worries me more than anything about Oklahoma.

220
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: So I'm going with the Sooners here. I'm going with

221
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: the Sooners. I like, once again win this game.

222
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 2: I like that pick, and I think that the Bejon

223
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 2: Robinson comment is on point. I don't think it's a

224
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 2: bad game plan if you're Steve Sarkisian, no, and easier

225
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 2: said than done to stop him.

226
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: Fortunately, I don't think.

227
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 2: It's a bad game plan at all to just give

228
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 2: him the rock thirty five times. Let's see what happens

229
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 2: and if you can get some level of balance as

230
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 2: a result of that, or maybe he goes off either

231
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 2: way to start there, and the just is not a

232
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 2: bad strategy. If they can do that successfully, if they

233
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 2: can play the pass off the run Casey Thompson's been

234
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 2: really good, perhaps they can score with Oklahoma. Because again

235
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 2: per the SPPLUS which we go by. This is a

236
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 2: top ten offense right now. Texas has been good on offense,

237
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 2: They're just still trying to put it all together. My

238
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 2: hesitation with going with Texas here is just what I've

239
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 2: been saying. I don't feel like they're a finished product yet.

240
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 2: I think they can be competitive in this game. I

241
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 2: just think Oklahoma may be coming to that point now

242
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 2: where they're going to find their rhythm and perhaps there's

243
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 2: some value on them. So for me, this game's back

244
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 2: and forth most of the way. Ultimately, I think Oklahoma

245
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 2: gets a few more stops with their defense, I think

246
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 2: they create that separation. And despite all the barking I've

247
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 2: done about their offense and not having the big plays, right,

248
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 2: even in a muted state, all of their other numbers

249
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 2: there are success rates, right, how efficient is the offense? Actually,

250
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 2: they're all still very high. So even in this state,

251
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 2: I see a lot of value in Oklahoma. It may

252
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 2: still be a one score, but the line is three

253
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 2: and a half in favor of the Sooner. So my

254
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 2: first lock of the week, bluck of the week, WHOA

255
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 2: get off to a hot start here? Dan, I love it.

256
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 2: Oklahoma minus three and a half lock number one of

257
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 2: the week.

258
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: All right, yeah, you look on the margins of this matchup.

259
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 1: So what Texas's defense has done is they have tightened

260
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 1: up some in the red zone. Their turnover margin is

261
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: not terrible. Oklahoma's is better at this point. If the

262
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: two big factors per bill c are turnovers and explosive

263
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: plays both generating and stopping, Oklahoma has that advantage. And

264
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: now Texas special teams has been pretty good. They're not

265
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: kicking a field goals as well as they have in

266
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: the past. You know, Dick or the kicker has not

267
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: been to me what he was. But Texas stands a

268
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: good chance. It's just tough against this Oklahoma team to

269
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 1: count on bending but not breaking. That's that's my concern

270
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: here with how Texas has been winning games, which has

271
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: been impressive, but you know, a little bit worrisome. So

272
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: we agree.

273
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 2: We're moving on. Also at high noon, this one on ESPN,

274
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 2: Arkansaw number thirteen in the land on the road at

275
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 2: number seventeen all Miss. All Miss favored by six and

276
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 2: a half. Dan is sort of a loser's bracket matchup

277
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 2: from the games last week when both of them got drilled.

278
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 2: Remember Arkansas lost thirty seven to nil against Georgia on

279
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 2: the road. Ole Miss lost forty two to twenty one

280
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 2: to Alabama. What really jumped out to me, both in

281
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 2: real time and on the watch back, Arkansas was not

282
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 2: even competitive in that game against Georgia, Like, not even

283
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 2: a hint of competitiveness in that game. They didn't even

284
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 2: threaten them. At least old Miss had some points and

285
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 2: at least they had a shot at a bit of

286
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 2: a backdoor cover soundboard Saturday.

287
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: Well, I take a slight exception with ole Miss looking

288
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: more respectable. Yes they scored points, but also yes they

289
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: fell behind thirty five nothing, whereas Arkansas fell behind ultimately

290
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: and finally thirty seven nothing. So we're parising here. But yes,

291
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right that at least ole Miss got on

292
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: the scoreboard and made some plays on offense where it

293
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: really didn't seem like Arkansas did. That said, I'm not

294
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: gonna let one week against what we think is probably

295
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: the best defense in America define Arkansas's season. I think

296
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: there's still more to trust about Arkansas right now. Against

297
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: ole Miss. I still worry, you know, look at what

298
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: Mac Carral did against Arkansas defense last year. A nightmare,

299
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: and he's not going to be nearly as bad this year.

300
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: But I think there is more to depend on. I

301
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: trust the line of scrimmage more with Arkansas. Still, I'm

302
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: not going to let last week's performance or lack thereof,

303
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: just completely shroud my enthusiasm. I'm going Hogs here once again.

304
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: The spread, the latest spread that you have here.

305
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 2: Right now, half in favor of Ole miss.

306
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think Arkansas and I do worry about two

307
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: straight games on the road. That worries me. The road

308
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: dogs or road Hogs, if you will. I think Arkansas

309
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: wins this game out right, I really really do. I'm

310
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: a Hog believer, and I still worry about Ole Missus

311
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: defense is still at a point where I believe it

312
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: to be the worst part of this game. And so

313
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: in terms of red flags, Arkansas to me is more dependable.

314
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 2: Wow, I didn't expect that. Yeah, Arkansas story this year.

315
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 2: Do you have the Kings of Texas sound by the

316
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 2: way at.

317
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: The doon, I replaced it. They have to earn it back.

318
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: They have to earn their way back to the soundboard.

319
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 2: Look, the wins over Texas and Texas A and M

320
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 2: are great. Texas is in transition and aim is broken.

321
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 2: Let's be honest, they're straight up broken. So in the

322
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 2: same way I would devalue a win over Clemson or Wisconsin,

323
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 2: I think it's fair to think a little less of

324
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 2: those two Texas wins.

325
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: Only little.

326
00:16:55,440 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 2: Only a little doesn't diminish the story that Arkansas has

327
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 2: had a great season so far. I don't think they're

328
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 2: a top ten team. They're not now per the polls,

329
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 2: to be fair, but I don't think they're a top

330
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 2: ten caliber team the way they were a week ago.

331
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 2: Just don't buy it. And that's fine because I don't

332
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 2: buy it for ole Miss either. I was gonna say,

333
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 2: who has ole Miss beaten? Where you're like, Okay, that

334
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 2: has aged.

335
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 1: Really really well.

336
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 2: Now I don't either, And look I was probably singing

337
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 2: at that altar more than anybody. That Old Miss is

338
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 2: what I think. I said they were the third best

339
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 2: team in the SEC. They're good teams with two really

340
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 2: good teams, but maybe a bit overvalued. I think ole

341
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 2: Miss is the better team. They have more firepower on offense.

342
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna win this game. They're at home.

343
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 2: I am not at all confident laying any points though,

344
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 2: and I only think that they're the better team. I'm

345
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 2: not entirely sure, so I'm gonna go Hoggs plus the

346
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 2: points if I'm wrong. I'm wrong here. I could totally

347
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 2: see them winning this game out right. I have the

348
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 2: same concerns about the old miss defense as you, to

349
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 2: be clear, but sure, I'm gonna go the other direction.

350
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 2: I'll say all mis wins. We are in agreement though

351
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 2: that Arkansas plus the points is the way to go done.

352
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: We agree once again, we agree.

353
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: Moving on three point thirty CBS. I don't know why

354
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 2: I did that voice, but number two George Bulldogs minus

355
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 2: fourteen and a half on the road at number eighteen Auburn.

356
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 2: Great win for Auburn, by the way, last week, snapping

357
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 2: the ten game losing streak at LSU. They did it

358
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 2: at night. Bo Nicks was a warrior, a legend, came in,

359
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 2: did great stuff in the wake of getting benched just

360
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 2: a few weeks ago. Meanwhile, Georgia, just like we just

361
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 2: talked about what they did to Arkansas, they're five and zero.

362
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,239
Speaker 2: Now they've outscored their opponents by a two hundred and

363
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 2: five to twenty three point margin. Do you have any

364
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 2: doubts here that George is gonna win this game, yes

365
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 2: or no, win the game like outright win the game outright. No.

366
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: I don't have any doubts about that now. The quarter

367
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: health concerns me and the multiple ways to win part

368
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: of Georgia's story this year. It concerns me. Uh, they

369
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: didn't need to throw the ball last week. But like

370
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 1: anytime you're relying on your backup quarterback in a tough

371
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: rivalry spot, the Deep South's oldest rivalry, then you know

372
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: that's that's something to consider and it's something to think about.

373
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: But I think it's one letdown spot even though it's

374
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: a rivalry game for Auburn after their emotional win in

375
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 1: Death Valley last week. The points spread is it's interesting

376
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: to me. It is right around a couple of touchdowns.

377
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 2: You said fourteen and a half. Yeah, and that's really

378
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 2: the question, right, that's really the question for us. On paper,

379
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 2: the one matchup for me that is interesting is Auburn's

380
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 2: rush defense against the Georgia ground game. Sure because on paper, again,

381
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 2: on paper, on paper, Auburn looks good enough to slow

382
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 2: them down for a while for a while.

383
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. They did a good job against Penn State, though,

384
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: Penn State hasn't really been able to run in impressively

385
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: against anybody, and LSU has not been able to rush

386
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: impressively against anybody, and so it's hard to really know

387
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 1: what we have right Auburn's front right now. Yeah, but

388
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: they've performed like they should perform against teams who have

389
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: struggled to run it consistently. I just I'm not going

390
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: to overthink this one. I think Georgia is considerably better.

391
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: The prospect of Bonnicks throwing into this Georgia defense, yes,

392
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: without high level receivers available to him, like they've had

393
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: these past few years. At times that worried like it

394
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 1: might that kind of stuff might work against a Mickey

395
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: Mouse organization like the LSU defense, I don't see it

396
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 1: against Georgia.

397
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 2: No.

398
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: So this is like my underthinking pick of the week.

399
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: I think Auburn is fine. I think Auburn is interesting.

400
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 1: I think there's talent at spots. I think they're gutty.

401
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: I just you need dudes against Georgia. And so I

402
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 1: think Georgia went is this by I don't know, seventeen

403
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 1: to twenty one points, And you.

404
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 2: Know, I think Auburn's better than last year. I feel

405
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 2: better about Auburn. I feel like they are more consistent

406
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 2: than they were a year ago under Gus Melson. But

407
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 2: what is it about this year's Auburn team that the

408
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 2: LSU win that that cements that feeling for you?

409
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: Yeah?

410
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 2: Actually, okay, that was a big road win. Sure, bo

411
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 2: Nicks to put in the kind of game he put

412
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 2: in is mighty impressive. So yeah, I just I feel

413
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 2: like they're a little bit more dependable, and I just

414
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 2: feel like maybe Brian Harrison into short time there has

415
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 2: raised the floor a little bit, which is kind of

416
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 2: the theme of this podcast, right That's what we're going

417
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 2: for today on ship ship burn, ship worthy, ship worthy,

418
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 2: shipwreck Saturday, whatever you want to call it. Yeah, my

419
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 2: issue with the points spread is exactly what you said.

420
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 2: I don't want to overthink it. I like where Auburn's at.

421
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 2: I think directly they're going to a good place right now.

422
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 2: It's an above average offense, slightly above average offense, and

423
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 2: in order to cover a fourteen and a half number

424
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 2: against a team like Georgia over sixty minutes, you gotta

425
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 2: do something on offense. Nobody's done anything on Georgie's defense. Yeah,

426
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 2: especially to cover this kind of number. So I'm out

427
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 2: on Auburn for this game for this week, and I'm

428
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 2: going Georgia, Gennis whatever.

429
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: Last year obviously the game was in Athens. Was final

430
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: score twenty eight to six against an Auburn team that

431
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: you just called. Well, you said, this year's team is

432
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 1: already better than last year. Okay, so how much better

433
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: than six points?

434
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 2: Yeah?

435
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: Now this is a way. So you want to add

436
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: three for playing the game in Jordan Herr Jordan Herr.

437
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: So that's nine. How much better against what might be

438
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 1: a better Georgia defense this year?

439
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 2: I mean a touchdown?

440
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: Okay, So that's so you have them scoring sixteen points?

441
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

442
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 1: So, which brings us to our original point is how

443
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: good is Auburn's defense? To what extent? Can they confuse

444
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: what we think is to be Stetson Bennett and Derek

445
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 1: Mason has done a good job thus far of really

446
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: making quarterbacks think for that extra couple seconds. So can

447
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 1: Auburn's defense confuse the passing game and force mistakes or

448
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: quick three and out stuff like that against Georgia? Who

449
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: we think Auburn's defense is going to make Georgia's offense

450
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: work a little harder than Arkansas did. So that the

451
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: extent is the question, and I just I think Georgia

452
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: will figure it out. I do too, I do too.

453
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: We agree, Oh should mention Frank's Alley in Columbus Georgia.

454
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: I'm not taking the home dog, but I'm still providing

455
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: a home dog Columbus Georgia, not far from the Auburn campus.

456
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: Frank's Alley. Is your hot dog your home dog?

457
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 2: There?

458
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: Four pm on Fox.

459
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 2: This is the show piece Dan of the weekend. I'm

460
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 2: doing my Gush Johnson voice.

461
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 1: Ha ha ha.

462
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 2: Penn state number four in the land on the road

463
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 2: at Iowa. Iowa's two to two and a half point

464
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 2: favorite at time of recording. I'm actually kind of hoping

465
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 2: this one bumps up to three. I got my eye

466
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 2: on that. This as a real life better but show

467
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 2: piece of the weekend, no doubt about it, no about it.

468
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 2: I was at this game in two thousand and four.

469
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 2: I still have PTSD to this day. What a five

470
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 2: to four, six six, six to four. I have never

471
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 2: fully recovered from that experience. I will admit I am biased.

472
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 2: It does shade how I picked this game every year.

473
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 2: The other thing that I should mention. I have been

474
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 2: chatting with a couple Penn State verballers on our discord

475
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 2: at verballers dot com. M HM check it out, and

476
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 2: one comment that really resonated with me is that this

477
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 2: game never makes any sense, never makes any sense, whatever

478
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 2: you think, you know, there are going to be at

479
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 2: least three takeaways from this game that come as a

480
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 2: total surprise. Right pointspread here is Iowa minus two minus

481
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 2: two and a half. Where are you at here?

482
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: It's a It's a really tough one and I'm game

483
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: days at Texas, Oklahoma, I believe right, yeah, Iowa City

484
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 1: probably should have gotten game day whatever solid Saturday is everywhere.

485
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: I would love to take Iowa. They are a home

486
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: team in a big matchup as a favorite, and you're

487
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 1: saying it's two and a half three points yep, So

488
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: the feeling is there even and I was getting that

489
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 1: that home field bump. Ish, I'm gonna go Penn State here.

490
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: I feel horrible about it. I've been picking against Iowa

491
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: though I did pick Iowa against Iowa State, and we

492
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: have we have data on both of these teams. Right,

493
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: Penn State has played real teams. They've played Wisconsin, They've

494
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: played Auburn. Iowa has played Iowa State, They've played Maryland.

495
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: I consider Maryland to be a real team, and they

496
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 1: looked nothing short of x. My concern is, if Penn

497
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:08,239
Speaker 1: State does not turn the ball over against Iowa, that's it.

498
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 1: That's it. If they just don't turn it over, that's

499
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: probably the best thing anybody can do against this terrific

500
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: Iowa defense. If they don't turn it over and Iowa

501
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 1: needs to drive the field four times to score touchdowns,

502
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: can they Can they score twenty eight points needing to

503
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: drive between sixty and eighty yards. Now that's a big

504
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: if because the defense is so good that it does

505
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 1: force turnovers and take takes advantage of short fields. In

506
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 1: my comparison about dependability and red flags, Iowa's offense in

507
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: Spencer Petris is still a red flag to me. Now,

508
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: I might go down saying this every week and watch

509
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: Iowa go twelve and zero. I'm prepared to do that,

510
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 1: But at this moment, Penn State seems just a little

511
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: bit more complete to me. Iowa's defense is given me

512
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 1: that wild time late at night, Ty, what I'm talking about?

513
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 1: That's all you talk about, off off camera, off my time. Yeah,

514
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: But I worry about Iowa's offense sitting down at dinner

515
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 1: with the extended family and running out of things to

516
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: talk about. I'm going Penn State here to win this game.

517
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: I like the dependability of Johan Dotson and Parker Washington.

518
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: I like the dependability and growth of Sean Clifford right

519
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: now over the dependability of Spencer Petris. The new cliff

520
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 1: match the new cliff I may fully I'm ready to

521
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 1: regret it. I understand the potential of a red here.

522
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: I'm going the fewer red flags route here. That's what

523
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: I'm doing well, committing to the bit.

524
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you, and I think that jumped

525
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 2: out to me too. Iowa's formula has been very simple

526
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 2: this year. Theres plus twelve and turnover margin. And it helps,

527
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 2: obviously that that number was padded by seven against Maryland.

528
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 2: But they did the same thing against Iowa State earlier

529
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 2: in the year and they beat them. They won that

530
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 2: turnover battle what for Ford to nothing. So playing with

531
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 2: a short field has been very advantageous to Iowa. It

532
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 2: is also hidden the fact that the offense stinks.

533
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: It's sticks. Well, somebody's got to say it. It's stinks.

534
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: It's not. Hyler Goodson at times is awesome.

535
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 2: He's awesome. I said it last week. He's great, He's

536
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 2: got moved right.

537
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 1: But the offense as a stinks. It's not where it

538
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: should be, where you'd like an offense of a top

539
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: five team to be. You're right.

540
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,719
Speaker 2: The new school efficiency metrics say that it's number seventy

541
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 2: two in terms of offense and one hundred and fourteenth

542
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 2: in success rate. The old school stats like yards per game,

543
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 2: total offense, that type of stuff, one hundred and sixteenth,

544
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 2: which by the way, is three rungs below Kansas, another

545
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 2: offensive juggernaut. The offense stink. I'm locking up Penn State Dan.

546
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: Block of the Week.

547
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 2: I'm doing it for the second straight week. They are

548
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 2: just as good as Iowa on defense. They're much much

549
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 2: better on offense. They have more playmakers as you alluded.

550
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 2: The only questions are A, how can they use the

551
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 2: running game? Can they use a running game? And B

552
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 2: can we trust Sean Clifford, as you rightfully said, to

553
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 2: not turn the ball over.

554
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: I hate picking Sean Clifford. I do too, to the

555
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: teeth of this Iowa defense.

556
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 2: Couldn't you ask the exact same question of Spencer Petris,

557
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 2: you could because if Penn State bears down and they say,

558
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 2: we don't want Tyler Goodson to beat us, we want

559
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 2: Spencer Petris to beat us.

560
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the strength of this Penn State defense is

561
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: probably the back end.

562
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 2: Right, if you ask the exact same question, if you

563
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 2: turn it around on Iowa, how do you feel given

564
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 2: the fact that the margins in this game are always

565
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 2: so very slim, Right, you got to take the team

566
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 2: getting points, and you got to take the team that's better.

567
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 2: So I'm walking up Penn State. I got him winning

568
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 2: twenty six twenty Yeah, I'll.

569
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: Play it again. I love it. Look of the Week.

570
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 2: Twenty six to seventeen is my final score.

571
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: Wow, twenty four to twenty one. Penn State to me,

572
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: by the way, probably a little bit aggressive on the

573
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: Iowa offense in terms of scoring offense. Now, granted it's

574
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: short fields which amazing length. I don't think their passing

575
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: game is anywhere interesting. They're at least at what I'm

576
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: seeing is forty seventh in terms of points per drive.

577
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: Forty seventh is average average. But if you pair an

578
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,239
Speaker 1: average offense, ties holding his nose to the people watching this,

579
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: if you pay an average offense with an incredible defense,

580
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna win a lot of games.

581
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 2: A stink on offense, Dan, Okay, come at me, fight me.

582
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 2: I don't care.

583
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: I love it. I love committing to this. I love

584
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: planting your flag because you're either going to look amazing

585
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: or Iowa fans can come after you, which is great.

586
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: We want a motion, we want.

587
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 2: I've had Iowa fans come at me before. Yeah, that's okay,

588
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 2: it's fine. I love Iowa. I do.

589
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: They're generally fine.

590
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 2: Eight o'clock CBS Alabama minus eighteen on the road at

591
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 2: A and M. I was online when the line hit

592
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 2: on Sunday, and when it hit, it was minus sixteen

593
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 2: and a half and I grabbed it like that. I

594
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 2: didn't even have a chance to think about it. It was

595
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 2: a total reflex. But Bama just blanked, for the most part,

596
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 2: one of the best offenses in college football until we

597
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 2: got to garbage time. What do you think they're going

598
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 2: to do against a team like A and M that

599
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 2: is genuinely broken on offense. Do we think that's going

600
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 2: to go any better?

601
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: Probably not, unless you feel like it's a letdown spot

602
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: for Bama, which they don't really suffer. A lot down.

603
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: So I'm not overthinking this. No Zach Halzada throwing into

604
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: you know, having Will Anderson in his face, who is

605
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: perhaps the most dangerous edge player he and cave On

606
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: Thibodaux in the country. Yeah, I don't have good reason.

607
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: I don't have the Tracy Chapman part of this.

608
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 2: I don't either.

609
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: I don't have good reason. I like A and M's defense,

610
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,959
Speaker 1: but they can only do so much if the offense

611
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: can't stay on the field. So as much as I've

612
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: loved and made hey with the home dogs this year,

613
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: I just I don't have it for A and M,

614
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: especially with how they looked at times last week, I

615
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: just I'm not there. Hot dogs, wings, et cetera. By

616
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: the way, is what I'm seeing in Brian, Texas. If

617
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: you are looking for a home dog in this situation.

618
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, eight by Brian, eighteen's a big number. I still

619
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 2: feel like Bama might be undervalued. I just I don't

620
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 2: understand the point in taking A and M with the

621
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 2: points like you're gonna white knuckle it the whole way

622
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 2: through the air. Better games to bet, don't don't bet

623
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 2: this game. If you don't have to, don't.

624
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: It's not a it's not a look ahead spot. They're

625
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: on the road once again against Mississippi State next week.

626
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: But no, I don't. I don't think any of these

627
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: teams on Alabama schedule right now are a look ahead spot.

628
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, you gotta you gotta believe. You gotta be

629
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: Ted Lasso right now to believe in A and M

630
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: and their chances with the nine million dollar man at

631
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: the top.

632
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 2: Even Ted Lasso knows when to cut his losses.

633
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: Did you say apparently? Did you see that Jimbo has

634
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: started using the same excuses at A and M as

635
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: he used at Florida State. Oh really somewhere a tweet? Yeah,

636
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: he was like an inch here, an inch there after

637
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: A and M's lost to Mississippi State. Apparently that's something

638
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: he said at Florida State. So great, great sign, thumbs up.

639
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 2: Moving on, let's travel back in time if we could. Dan, Yeah,

640
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 2: ten thirty ESPN Friday night lights. Does this count is packed?

641
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: Twelve after dark on a Friday? Absolutely it does. Of course.

642
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 2: Stanford is an eleven and a half point underdog on

643
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 2: the road at Arizona State. These teams have not played

644
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 2: since twenty eighteen. The Cardinal has won the last two.

645
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 2: If you're ASU, I feel like this is the kind

646
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 2: of game you need to win soundly because you're straight

647
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 2: up better. You have a better team, right. I don't

648
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 2: know if I trust them, and I picked them, I

649
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 2: was very high on ASU.

650
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: I don't know if I trust.

651
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 2: Them to win it soundly, Dan, I don't so for

652
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 2: that reason and that reason alone, based on no actual analysis,

653
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 2: I don't trust them. That is the theme of this week,

654
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 2: Ship or Saturday, whatever we're calling it. I am taking

655
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 2: Stanford plus the points because I do not trust Arizona State,

656
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 2: a team that I was very very high on, like

657
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 2: a month ago.

658
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: Todays who not just blow out UCLA on the road.

659
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 2: But they did. Do you trust them? No?

660
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: But I don't. I trust Stanford and less. Stanford in

661
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: every phase tried to give the game to a woefully

662
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 1: disappointing Oregon team last week, and somehow they they wrestled

663
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: victory out of the jaws of defeat thanks to I'm

664
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 1: just not even way back and I'm not doing it anymore.

665
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:22,760
Speaker 1: Stanford's not that good. Stanford is just not that good.

666
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: Oregon's not that good either. They were at home in

667
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 1: a half empty stadium.

668
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 2: That was really bad.

669
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was so bad. I trust ASU more than

670
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: I trust Stanford on the road for sure. I think

671
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 1: ASU is fine. I think they're flawed, but I think

672
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: they're fine. So yeah, I think they can win this

673
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 1: game by a couple of touchdowns. It's it's a letdown

674
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: spot for Stanford going out on the road. They're beat up. Still,

675
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: they're absolutely beat up. I'm going to ASU here. I

676
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: feel fine. I'm not overthinking this. They have the better quarterback,

677
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,479
Speaker 1: they have the better skill talent, they have the better

678
00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:00,439
Speaker 1: defensive front. They're a much havoc yar defense. Yeah, everything

679
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: points to me to ASU. I'm not overthinking.

680
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,439
Speaker 2: I'm going Stanford, man, hiund trust as all right, have fun.

681
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 2: Twelve o'clock Saturday, FS one, West of Virginia on the

682
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 2: road at Baylor. Baylor favored by three. I have no

683
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 2: lean here, none whatsoever. I don't know what to make

684
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 2: a West Virginia at this point. They're okay, they're gonna

685
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 2: jump up and get somebody. Could it be Baylor a

686
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 2: week after Oklahoma State? Of course, I'm just gonna stick

687
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 2: with the home team. I'm not gonna overthink it. Also,

688
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 2: this could be a terrible football game to watch. I

689
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 2: would not encourage anybody to watch this game. But Baylor

690
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 2: minus three. That's the deepest analysis I can provide here.

691
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm going Baylor as well. It's in Waco. I

692
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: just I don't like West Virginia's offense all that much.

693
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: I don't like the consistency or lack thereof I guess

694
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: of West Virginia. Like, they don't pop big plays, they

695
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: don't have dudes to me consistently. Once again, they can't

696
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: control the line of scrimmage all that often. And I

697
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: think Baylor's just playing with with moreois divive, so give me,

698
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: give me the Bears here. I think I think they're

699
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,800
Speaker 1: playing with a little more energy. I like the pieces,

700
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 1: I like both sides of the ball more, and I

701
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: like they're sealing more. And they're at home. So yeah,

702
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: one Baylor.

703
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 2: Let's go to twelve o'clock, Big ten Network number eleven,

704
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 2: Michigan State minus four and a half now on the

705
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 2: road at Rutgers. A curiously low line. Dan, we are

706
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 2: the sparty super Network, as we lovingly mentioned on the

707
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 2: Solid Saturday livestream broadcast. But Vegas trying to tell us

708
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 2: something here, Daniel, Maybe.

709
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: By the way destination dogs for for hot dogs in

710
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: the Piscataway area looks really, really strong. Now, I'm not

711
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: gonna overthink it. I think Michigan State's better. I think

712
00:37:56,040 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 1: Rutgers offense is largely abysmal, and so yeah, it seems

713
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:05,320
Speaker 1: like a low line. But again, under thinking it, Michigan

714
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:06,800
Speaker 1: State's better. We agree.

715
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 2: We are in agreement. Dan twelve o'clock Fox. Another big

716
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 2: ten game, Maryland on the road at Ohio State. Ohio

717
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 2: State favored by twenty one. These teams have played six times,

718
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 2: Ohio State's one all six. The last time was a

719
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 2: seventy three to fourteen thrashing back in twenty nineteen. Got

720
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 2: two different teams now right in twenty one, but obviously

721
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 2: not different enough to bring that point spread under twenty one.

722
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 2: So what do we make of Maryland going into this

723
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 2: game seven turnovers against Iowa a week ago? How do

724
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:44,399
Speaker 2: they fare against Ohio State.

725
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,280
Speaker 1: I think Maryland covers this spread. I think there's value

726
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,800
Speaker 1: here in looking at this spread at twenty one points

727
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,240
Speaker 1: and thinking to yourself, well, Ohio State has it figured

728
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: out because of what they did to Rutgers. I think

729
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 1: that's fully true. I think Maryland should be able to

730
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 1: move the ball some against Ohio State. Not a lot,

731
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: but some. I don't think they're going to make the

732
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 1: mistakes against this Ohio State defense that they made against Iowa.

733
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,760
Speaker 1: And I know that they're beat up at receiver Demus

734
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: and whatever that was. That was a bummer last week

735
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: against Iowa. But I think Maryland's good enough. And I

736
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: still have questions about Ohio State against a decent team.

737
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: So I think Ohio State ends up winning this game comfortably. Sixteen, seventeen,

738
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 1: eighteen points something in there. I'm gonna take those points

739
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: because I'm still a believer in the Maryland value. Maryland value.

740
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 2: I'm going to Ohio State.

741
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 1: That's fine.

742
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 2: I'm going to Ohio State, but I want to take Maryland.

743
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 2: I really do want to take Maryland here. I just

744
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 2: don't I don't have a good reason to do it.

745
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 2: Sure three thirty ABC Boise State at number ten BYU.

746
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 2: BYU favored by five and a half. Yeah, concerning given

747
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,399
Speaker 2: we don't know who's playing quarterback for BYU. Don't know. Yeah,

748
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 2: I have not seen an update on Jaron Hall, the quarterback.

749
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 2: If you'll be Romney got hurt yep to play in

750
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 2: this game, right, I think I might be done with Boise.

751
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 2: I think it might be done for this year or

752
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,760
Speaker 2: just in general, No, just this year. I like Boise,

753
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 2: but I like BYU. I know they've got a potential

754
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 2: look ahead to the Jeff Grimes Bowl next week against Baylor.

755
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 2: Everyone's talking about Jeff Grimes Bawl, of course, but I

756
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 2: like Tyler Algier to have a big game here.

757
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: I think good matchup.

758
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there's a great opportunity for him to

759
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 2: run on this Boise defense. And by the way, a

760
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 2: lot of talk now about Cincinnati. Rightfully, so BYU has

761
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 2: already beat in Arizona State. The next four weeks, they've

762
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 2: got this boys, I.

763
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: Was beating like nine pack twelve teams.

764
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, they've got Boise this week, They're at Baylor. Next week,

765
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 2: they've got a road game against Wazoo. They also play Virginia,

766
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 2: and they close out the year at USC right, and

767
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:59,280
Speaker 2: they're ranked tenth. Am I making the case for BYU

768
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 2: in the playoff, Not really, but don't sleep on BYU.

769
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 2: They're pretty good team, and they're playing good competition. They're

770
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 2: not playing cream puffs.

771
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 1: Also, this train's pulling into the elevation station so is

772
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: it any Boise is at like two thousand, but obviously

773
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: Provo a good deal higher. So there's that part of

774
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 1: things as well. Yeah, I'm going to BYU even without

775
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 1: certainty at quarterback. I don't you know, in what I've

776
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 1: seen of Boise stated, I don't know what they do

777
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: particularly well. I like Bachmeer, I like the ability to

778
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 1: throw the ball. They're okay, but they're not doing a ton.

779
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:31,439
Speaker 1: You can push them around up front, which is why

780
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 1: you mentioned the Algier thing and being a good matchup

781
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: for BYU. Yeah, I'm taking the Cougars here. I agree.

782
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 2: Three point thirty ESPN two, Wake Forest number nineteen in

783
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 2: the land, undefeated, six and a half points, the favorite

784
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,399
Speaker 2: on the road at Syracuse. Dan, which way you going?

785
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 2: I'm going Syracuse lock of the week?

786
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: Really? Yes, sir?

787
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 2: You sure?

788
00:41:53,920 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: I am positive? Luck of the week, be.

789
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 2: Smirching the good name of Dave Clawson and the Demon

790
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 2: Deacons going lock of the week Syracuse. Why Syracuse is

791
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 2: running the ball fine? Their defense is pretty good against

792
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 2: the pass, which is where I think Wake has really

793
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 2: made hey this year. Upfront, They're not great against the run,

794
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 2: but they've prevented some bigger plays, and Syracuse on defense,

795
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 2: especially upfront, has made plays. And the games at home tie,

796
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:30,760
Speaker 2: They're not just a home dog tie.

797
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: You know this? Where do they play?

798
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:34,399
Speaker 2: Play the Carrier Dome?

799
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 1: And what do we know, Tye? The Carrier Dome is

800
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: where teams go to die. I'm sorry, we're talking about

801
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: an undefeated WAKE team with grand designs of being undefeated

802
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:51,800
Speaker 1: in November going to the Carrier Dome in October against

803
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 1: a team with a good defense in a difficult, weird

804
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: place to play. Do I need to remind you once again?

805
00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 1: The Carrier Dome is where teams go oh is said

806
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:02,839
Speaker 1: the voice from Saw?

807
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 2: What is that I've I've been downloading a bunch of

808
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 2: plug It sounds like the voice from Jackbox Games if

809
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 2: anybody's ever played the Murder Mystery game on there? Yeah,

810
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 2: and Syracuse obviously disappointing last week last second to Florida State.

811
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 2: Ah yeah, I'm going Qus here, baby, I feel good.

812
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 2: I am also going Syracuse here. Carrier Dome a very

813
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 2: weird place to play. Wake is not good against the run.

814
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,280
Speaker 2: You're right to point out that QUS has been decent

815
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:34,399
Speaker 2: on the ground, especially now that they've made the move

816
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:38,399
Speaker 2: to Garrett Strader, the transfer quarterback who runs a lot more.

817
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 2: I've got Wake winning by three, but it's like a

818
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 2: weird getaway game in the Carrier Dome. They go into

819
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 2: a bye week next week. QS, by the way, is

820
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 2: playing host to Clemson next week, which could be a

821
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 2: fun one to talk about, but let's go QS plus

822
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 2: the points.

823
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: I should also point out that Syracuse beat Liberty, who

824
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 1: may have one of the best I don't know, four

825
00:43:58,800 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 1: or five quarterbacks in.

826
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 2: The It's true they don't have Sam Hartman, but they.

827
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 1: Don't have Sam Martin. But in terms of if we're

828
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 1: gonna stick with secretly decent like we did with Pitt

829
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 1: Is Syracuse secretly decent, they.

830
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 2: Are secretly decent. Not great good value on the QUS

831
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:14,320
Speaker 2: right now, very good value.

832
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, home dog, weird place. Carrier don't come on.

833
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:23,439
Speaker 2: Seven pm ESPN, TCU minus point and a half at

834
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 2: Texas Tech. I am going tech and here is why.

835
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 1: Okay, I was.

836
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 2: Perfectly content to go Texas minus four last week. You

837
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:36,399
Speaker 2: talked me out of it. Sure, you talked me out

838
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:37,359
Speaker 2: of a win, No did I.

839
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: I didn't talk you out of it. I just disagreed

840
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,839
Speaker 1: with you. Oh TCU has their number, and they would

841
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: have beaten them.

842
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 2: I remember I would have won if not for that crap,

843
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 2: throw it out the window. I stand by what I

844
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 2: said last week. TCU has terrible defense. Tech is low key,

845
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 2: a tough out speaking is secretly decent. They're at four

846
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 2: wins now practically speaking. Their basically one went away from

847
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 2: going to Bowls. They play Kansas next week.

848
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: Texas Tech outright, Texas Tech outright, you think they're the

849
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:12,399
Speaker 1: more dependable team. None of these teams are dependable. It's

850
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,240
Speaker 1: the Big twelve. Well I'm saying between between Tech and TCU.

851
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 2: Uh, I guess that's what I'm saying, Yes, especially if

852
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 2: they are the more dependable team. Yeah, I hate to agree, Tie,

853
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 2: I think I agree the games in Lubbock, TCU coming

854
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 2: off of a letdown almost win against Texas.

855
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:37,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think I'm going even with a backup quarterback.

856
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: I think Texas Tech up front has shown me enough

857
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: that if they're able to at least manage Zach Evans

858
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: and the tc rushing attack, I don't know what that

859
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:51,839
Speaker 1: outpitch is for the Frogs. So yeah, no, I'm I'm

860
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: well with the Mattadors here.

861
00:45:53,920 --> 00:46:00,760
Speaker 2: Seven point thirty ABC number nine niches Chigan minus three

862
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 2: on the road at Nebraska. Okay, so this is a

863
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 2: very interesting spot for Michigan. They beat Wisconsin by twenty

864
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:14,399
Speaker 2: one on the road, they catapult into the top ten.

865
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 2: Now on the road for a night game against Nebraska, perhaps.

866
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 1: A little bit of a letdown effect. Hope and face

867
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 1: look ahead as well.

868
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 2: I want to pick Nebraska, do it, I really do,

869
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 2: should do it because I am tired of everybody dunking

870
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 2: on them.

871
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,800
Speaker 1: It's just not cool. Five and one against the spread.

872
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 2: But you gotta give me something more than Adrian Martinez

873
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 2: and a decent defense. I know that's your formula. I

874
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 2: know you're gonna be Nebraska.

875
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 1: I dump Northwestern on the ground last week.

876
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 2: You gotta give me something other than Adrian Martinez and

877
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:53,320
Speaker 2: a respectable defense.

878
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 1: I mean, how many raise your hand if you're okay

879
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: with your team having a pretty good court and a

880
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 1: really good Is he pretty good quarterback? I think he's

881
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 1: pretty good. I don't think he's amazing. He's pretty good.

882
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 1: He's all they have.

883
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 2: That's why the numbers are there. I don't know if

884
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:10,799
Speaker 2: he's pretty good.

885
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 1: Fortieth best passing attack in America, right Now that's fine.

886
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's a great hot dog place in Lincoln

887
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 2: that you're about to tell us about. Fly dogs with

888
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 2: the ze continue. But I need that off speed pitch.

889
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 2: I need something different, So I'm gonna go Michigan. And

890
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 2: while we're at it, am I the only one who

891
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 2: gets confused every week that Nebraska's got another quarterback by

892
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 2: the name of Martinez.

893
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: Yes, you might be the only one, but I appreciate

894
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:39,840
Speaker 1: your confusion.

895
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 2: Every week I'm typing down Taylor Martinez.

896
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 1: Every week I do it.

897
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 2: I have to correct myself.

898
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 1: The really worrisome matchup because I'd like to go with

899
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 1: the more dependable team in all of these games tie.

900
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:55,840
Speaker 1: But sometimes you catch somebody's eye across the room and

901
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:59,320
Speaker 1: you think, to myself, could be a wild night, and

902
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 1: you gotta go with your belief systems sometimes sometimes and

903
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 1: a home dog with a good defense in a difficult

904
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:10,279
Speaker 1: place to play at night. Now, the matchup that terrifies

905
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:14,319
Speaker 1: me is Michigan's pass rush against Nebraska's offensive line. That

906
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:21,359
Speaker 1: is terrifying, especially Aiden Hutchinson. But I'm gonna roll those

907
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:25,799
Speaker 1: dice time. I'm gonna roll those dice and go with

908
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 1: Nebraska as my home dog of the week. I know

909
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 1: you have a sound the Yokers home dog of the week.

910
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:38,879
Speaker 1: You gotta live a little bit. Sometimes you gotta make

911
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 1: your heart beat. You gotta make that the goosebumps stand

912
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 1: at attention on your arms, let the hair stand up. Yeah,

913
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 1: and that's what I'm gonna do with Nebraska. I think

914
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:51,399
Speaker 1: Vegas has undervalued the Huskers after that week one loss

915
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 1: against Illinois again five to one against the spread, Yeah,

916
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:55,320
Speaker 1: pretty good number.

917
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 2: Yep.

918
00:48:56,000 --> 00:49:00,359
Speaker 1: So as a home dog believer, I'm going with Big Red.

919
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:02,839
Speaker 1: I am sorry.

920
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 2: I can't do it. I I I admire the pick.

921
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:10,240
Speaker 2: Could I interest you in a different home dog? Sure,

922
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 2: the Yukos home dog of the week. Maybe stop on

923
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:21,320
Speaker 2: by the hot Dog House very literally named or Sam's

924
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 2: Hot Dog Stand in the great town of Blacksburg, Virginia.

925
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 1: That's what I have here as well.

926
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, seven thirty ACC network. Virginia Tech's a one point

927
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:35,759
Speaker 2: dog against Notre Dame. They're my home dog of the week.

928
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:40,200
Speaker 2: The funny thing about Tech, if you look at their schedule,

929
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:44,840
Speaker 2: just kind of remove yourself from reality for a second,

930
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,760
Speaker 2: just live in the moment. If you look at Virginia

931
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 2: Tech's schedule, it is not very difficult to invent a

932
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 2: path for them to get to eleven and one this season.

933
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Ty, you're gonna give me Look at

934
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,240
Speaker 2: the schedulecking about look at the schedule.

935
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, look at the team.

936
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 2: I'm saying in a vacuum, just look at the schedule.

937
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 1: All right, I'm pulling the schedule up. Look it up.

938
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:10,280
Speaker 1: Here we go, let's go. Notre Dame. Decent chance of losing,

939
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 1: Pitt the class of the acc decent chance of losing,

940
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 1: Secretly decent. Syracuse, decent chance of losing. Georgia Tech on

941
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,760
Speaker 1: the road, who's beaten North Carolina. Decent shot of losing.

942
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:26,399
Speaker 1: Boston College and Jeff Hafley, America's coach. Decent shot of losing. Duke,

943
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 1: they'll beat Miami. We'll see how healthy they are. Whatever,

944
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:33,400
Speaker 1: but decent shot of losing. It's on the road, Virginia

945
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 1: in a rivalry game on the road against one of

946
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 1: the better offenses in quarterbacks in the country. Decent shot

947
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 1: of losing.

948
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 2: If the coin comes up heads seven times in a row.

949
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 2: I don't know what the odds are, but there are

950
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 2: a lot of coin flips there. There's no obvious killers

951
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 2: that are going to beat this team, right, it's possible

952
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 2: you could come up with a pathway. They've had a

953
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 2: bye week now to prepare for Notre Dame. They get

954
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 2: Notre Dame at home at night, a week after notere

955
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:03,959
Speaker 2: took its first l of the season. Definite letdown coming

956
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 2: here for Notre Dame. I mean, not even a question

957
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 2: about it. We also don't know what Notre Dame's doing

958
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:13,719
Speaker 2: at quarterback. I haven't seen an update. We're recording this

959
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 2: on a Tuesday, so maybe we're a bit ahead of

960
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,800
Speaker 2: the curve. If I were a betting man, I would

961
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:22,919
Speaker 2: probably bet on Drew Pine getting the nod. Okay, don't

962
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 2: know if that's something that they will even announce before

963
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:29,319
Speaker 2: the game. But all things being said, you got all

964
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:33,880
Speaker 2: those Virginia Tech factors, plus potentially a Notre Dame quarterback

965
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:37,920
Speaker 2: getting his first start of his career in Lane Stadium

966
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 2: as a lot working against Notre Dame. And I don't

967
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:44,439
Speaker 2: really like Virginia Tech as a team, to be clear,

968
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 2: but this is just a situational play that feels really

969
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 2: good for the Hokies. I think something low scoring. I

970
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:54,319
Speaker 2: think it's twenty four to nineteen. And while we're at it,

971
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,320
Speaker 2: at least one miss in the kicking game for Jonathan

972
00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:00,120
Speaker 2: Door on the Notre Dame side. Have you been following

973
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 2: the plight of Jonathan Door so far?

974
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 1: Not even a little.

975
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 2: He is very close. He is tiptoed right up to

976
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:08,760
Speaker 2: the line where we start talking about the yips.

977
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 1: Is that true?

978
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:14,319
Speaker 2: He's getting there, getting there. Missed an extra point last week.

979
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:16,880
Speaker 2: Has had a couple bad misses in the in the

980
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:19,800
Speaker 2: field goal department. That's how you get to nineteen points.

981
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:23,919
Speaker 2: You miss an extra point twenty four to nineteen. Tech

982
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:27,279
Speaker 2: wins at home. Bad spot for Notre Dame.

983
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, Virginia Tech doesn't really do anything well, but they

984
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 1: don't actually do anything terribly, whereas Notre Dame does. And

985
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 1: that kind of starts at quarterback and offensive line and

986
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 1: so on the road. Yeah, I think you know, maybe

987
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:45,319
Speaker 1: a couple false starts, miscommunications. I'm won with Virginia Tech here.

988
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:48,239
Speaker 1: I'm going with a home dog as well. And by

989
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 1: the way, I did look at Bill C's numbers. If

990
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 1: there's a fifty five percent chance Virginia Tech either wins

991
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,840
Speaker 1: seven or eight games, that's where they are at. The

992
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 1: Odds of winning eleven games are fewer than one percent.

993
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:05,760
Speaker 2: Just saying it's possible or less. I believe ted Lasso

994
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:09,240
Speaker 2: would believe I guess. So next game seven point thirty

995
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:16,280
Speaker 2: sec Network LSU at number sixteen Kentucky. They're favored by three.

996
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 2: Both of LC's losses have been against mobile quarterbacks. I

997
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 2: am not the world's biggest Will Levis fan, but he

998
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 2: is back, and Will Levis could check that box. Dog,

999
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:30,879
Speaker 2: he could check that box. It might be the only

1000
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:34,239
Speaker 2: box he can reliably check. So I'm taking Kentucky. I'm

1001
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 2: not going to overthink it.

1002
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 1: I'm with you too. I think LSU they could be

1003
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 1: in the midst of a spiral. We saw the tackling issues,

1004
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:45,400
Speaker 1: we saw the offensive line issues. Kentucky's good enough to

1005
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:48,320
Speaker 1: win this game. It's one hundred percent of letdown spot

1006
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 1: and Vegas is looking at the teams as even I

1007
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 1: think there's more to count on about Kentucky right now.

1008
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:57,319
Speaker 1: So I'm bringing bringing the Cats back back home for

1009
00:53:57,360 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 1: the holidays, as weird as that is sounding out loud.

1010
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 2: And finally, eight pm on Fox Utah at usc USC

1011
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 2: favored by three points. The theme of this show has

1012
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 2: been Shipper Saturday. The theme of this show has been

1013
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:14,799
Speaker 2: who do we bring home to the parents.

1014
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, did you have a good experience bringing solid wife

1015
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:19,919
Speaker 1: Kate home to me? Mom? H, For the first time

1016
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 1: I did. It wasn't awkward, like your mom wasn't like

1017
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:28,200
Speaker 1: an interrogating her, Like there wasn't any sort of issue there.

1018
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 2: My mom does have an interrogation streak, just not in

1019
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 2: that initial meeting.

1020
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:37,400
Speaker 1: Were their previous situations over interrogating?

1021
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 2: No, No, Mom's known how to behave herself.

1022
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:43,719
Speaker 1: I get a weekly email from her saying I'm not

1023
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 1: good enough for Tyler, a weekly email. I'm just kidding.

1024
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:50,520
Speaker 1: I love you, mom. H. Yeah.

1025
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 2: Where I'm going with this, yeah, is if it is

1026
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:58,840
Speaker 2: a matter of stability, are you taking Kyle Whittingham or

1027
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 2: are you taking whatever the USC coaching situation is at

1028
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 2: the moment.

1029
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 1: Well, with Kyle Whittingham comes a rough offense that had

1030
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 1: a quarterback full on quit the team after a couple

1031
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:15,880
Speaker 1: of games. True, their utah's turnover margin is eighty seventh,

1032
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 1: though they've turned the ball over less with Cam Rising.

1033
00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 1: I mean, look, they've got a couple interesting running backs

1034
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 1: for sure. The games where the games in LA are

1035
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 1: is in solid LA. Yeah, Okay, so it's not at

1036
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:30,400
Speaker 1: elevation USC ad impressive performance, especially on the ground against Colorado,

1037
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:35,319
Speaker 1: which I think is ultimately meaningless. Also, I did see

1038
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:37,840
Speaker 1: just a bummer of a time. I'm sure Dante Williams,

1039
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 1: the USC interim head coach, his father passed away last week.

1040
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:42,359
Speaker 1: That has nothing to do with how I'm picking this game,

1041
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:46,360
Speaker 1: but you know, thoughts and condolences, I'm gonna go with

1042
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:48,840
Speaker 1: Utah here. I'm gonna go with Utah to win ugly,

1043
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 1: just because what we've seen of USC has been a

1044
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:56,919
Speaker 1: lot of down with some up, and I think Utah

1045
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 1: is a team at the line of scrimmage. Even though

1046
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:02,239
Speaker 1: they haven't been as good on offense up front as

1047
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 1: we've gotten used to, I still think they're good enough

1048
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:06,399
Speaker 1: to win this game. So yeah, I'm going utes here.

1049
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 2: That is all I have dan for the sixth week

1050
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:14,719
Speaker 2: of this year twenty twenty one season. Any other games

1051
00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:15,359
Speaker 2: I to jump out?

1052
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 1: Yeah? Actually, so, Wyoming's playing air Force. Wyoming has played nobody.

1053
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:23,799
Speaker 1: They're four and oh. Air Force is four and one

1054
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 1: and actually being led by a really interesting and fun

1055
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:31,720
Speaker 1: looking defense. San Diego State is four and oh. Ahead

1056
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:33,719
Speaker 1: of the New Mexico game, they have a decent shot

1057
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 1: at going ten and two. Their big challenges are in

1058
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:38,960
Speaker 1: Air Force and Fresno. Cameron Thomas, by the way for

1059
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 1: San Diego State, absolute dude up Front a TfL A

1060
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 1: Tackle for Loss machine, My road Runners tied of UTSA.

1061
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:53,239
Speaker 1: They're winning with defense and passing. They're not making a

1062
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 1: lot of mistakes in Seer McCormick one of the better

1063
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 1: running backs that is under the radar in the country.

1064
00:56:57,600 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 1: Clarence Hicks has been great on defense. One of the

1065
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 1: best punting teams in America. UTSA. They have another interesting

1066
00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:08,920
Speaker 1: team who is secretly decent despite what the record says,

1067
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:12,920
Speaker 1: Western Kentucky tie Hilltop Western Kentucky. That the Toppers have

1068
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:17,680
Speaker 1: played Army, Indiana and Michigan State and they're not, which

1069
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 1: is tough tie. And yet they have one of the

1070
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 1: best handfuls of past pass offenses. They're just a very

1071
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 1: prolific team. As somebody who watches a team that features

1072
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 1: a quarterback who cannot complete downfield passes at all for

1073
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 1: me to watch Bailey Zappi, that's right, Ty, his real name,

1074
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 1: Bailey Zappi. It's from The Simpsons. They're really really fun

1075
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 1: and this game is worth watching. So those are the

1076
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 1: games that I feel like perhaps we omitted on first.

1077
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:57,840
Speaker 2: Glance Bailey Zappie by the way last week, Oh yeah,

1078
00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:02,480
Speaker 2: big time losing in their game. Really, I think he's

1079
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 2: he's either the nation's most prolific passer in terms of

1080
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 2: yards per game or something like that. But he has
