1
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: Man walking in lake. It is live. It is Sunday

2
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: on October. Second year of Our Lord, twenty twenty two,

3
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: brought to you by Academy Sports and Outdoors. If you

4
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 1: enjoy May, if you love the twenty twenty one Renaissance season,

5
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: wait till I tell you it never really ended. Can

6
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: anyone make sense of a lot of these Conference championship pictures? No,

7
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: you cannot, but we'll try to as best we can. Tonight.

8
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 1: We're jam packed. We're high at top, a picturesque and

9
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: very vibrant downtown Nashville, Tennessee. Huge Week five reaction show tonight.

10
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: So we've got all these games to talk about. Paul

11
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: Christ has been fired at Wisconsin. I'm gonna get to

12
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: that momentarily. Conference championship pictures hazier now, seemingly than they

13
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: were in Week one, back when you and I may

14
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: have thought we knew something about this sport. This year,

15
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: we got history to make. Tonight, in regards to the

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,639
Speaker 1: Every Given Saturday Tour, we were in Oxford, Mississippies, as

17
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: you can tell by the sunburn. And boy, when I

18
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: tell you where we're gonna be this week, it's gonna

19
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 1: make some people mad. I know that, but it's also

20
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: gonna raise some eyebrows, I think, even amongst our staff,

21
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 1: because not everyone around here knows where I'm going. That's

22
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: the way we like to keep it. We've got two

23
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: best bets to get to. I've got a mysterious orange

24
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: substance in the Chalice of Supremacy tonight because I did

25
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: not go by a Yeah, I'll just tell you. I

26
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: go by publics every day, and they didn't have Colbrew today.

27
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: So it is what it is. Smith's Station Alabama is

28
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: tuned in Holland, Michigan, tuned in Crowley, Louisiana, and Baghdad

29
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: over in Iraq. I'm just gonna venture to guess that's

30
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: one of our servicemen or women. I don't know. I'm

31
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: only like ninety percent sure of that. We got a

32
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: jam packed show, so there's a lot of breaking news happening.

33
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: This is the way that Sundays are around here this

34
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: time of year. Paul christ is out at Wisconsin. First

35
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: reported by Adam Rittenberg of ESPN. That's been backed up

36
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: by several folks, and I can tell you I almost

37
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: did a segment on this Thursday because this was in

38
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: motion last week. Wisconsin has not looked good. In fact,

39
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: they've looked pretty dreadful this year. They got drugged by

40
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: Illinois yesterday, and apparently, as it was described to me,

41
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: it was already a matter of when, not if, and

42
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: Saturday just answered the question of when. That's how it

43
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: was described to me earlier today. And so Paul Christ

44
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: Wisconsin head coach, really good record if you look at

45
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: it on the surface, but things were certainly not trending

46
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: in the right direction. I don't think this is controversial.

47
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: I don't think this is something if you know the

48
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: inner workings of that program, that people are going to

49
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: look at and say, how could you do this? Now,

50
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,399
Speaker 1: there will be some folks out there that are probably

51
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: more drive by fifty thousand feet types that don't get

52
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: They could not honestly tell you they've watched a Wisconsin

53
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: football game this year, who were gonna say, you need

54
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: to give a guy more time. Oh, you got a

55
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: hair trigger up there. They don't, they know what they're doing.

56
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: So they had already lost at home to Washington State,

57
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: and they of course lost embarrassing fashion yesterday to Illinois.

58
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: I got a couple things to say about this, okay,

59
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna move on. So the initial thought

60
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: from most people who know that program is Jim Leonard

61
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. One of the brightest minds in the business

62
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: and one of the brightest I would say, up and

63
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: coming names in the business. He hasn't been in the

64
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: business of coaching all that long because he was busy

65
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: doing things like playing. He played at Wisconsin played in

66
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: the NFL, but he's been up there since twenty sixteen,

67
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: in varying roles, currently been the defensive coordinator for the

68
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: last couple of years. My question there is are they

69
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: going to have a search or do they think they

70
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 1: already have the guys? Certainly Leonard's gonna be your interim

71
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: head coach. Are they going to have a search? If

72
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: they do, I got one name and then I'm gonna

73
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: burn the list because there's one name and one name

74
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: only I'd go after. But they got to decide how

75
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: serious they are about football, and I mean that relative

76
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: to the other teams they played on. Anyone email me

77
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: or DM me and say, are you saying Wisconsin is

78
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: not serious about football? Now? I'm saying, you've got to

79
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: be as serious as they are in Michigan, as seriously

80
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: as they are at Penn State and Ohio State, because

81
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: that's who you compete against the ten. You're not up

82
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: there to go six and six every year. And they

83
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: were woefully inadequate organizationally in a lot of areas. And

84
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: I do not myself have firsthand knowledge of the Wisconsin program.

85
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: I haven't spent time up there. I know people who

86
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: are close to the program. And if you it would

87
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: bore you to death if I were to go down

88
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: this road. But if you were to be able to

89
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: see behind the scenes and a lot of what you

90
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: would think are the basic necessities in the world of staffing,

91
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: in the world of recruiting, in the world of strength

92
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: and conditioning, they don't have some of those things that

93
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: a lot of you would think are just staples. Oh

94
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: everyone's got that D one, D two, D three, everyone's

95
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: got that. No, everyone doesn't have it. That's why it's

96
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: a blessing when you do have it. So that's the

97
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: first thing, regardless of who the head coach is up there,

98
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: they've got to answer the question, how serious are you

99
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: about football? How bad do you want to win? Then

100
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: we got to find out if it's going to be

101
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: Jim Leonard, and if it is him by all means,

102
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: he's earned the right up there. But if it's not him,

103
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: there's one name to go after, and that's Lance lepol

104
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: over At. I want to say Leephold, and then every

105
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: time I do, someone comes after me and says Lepold.

106
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: So look, I'm probably just going to say his last

107
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: name fast for a little while. The last Lepehold. Of

108
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: what he's doing at Kansas is incredible. I think everyone

109
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: understands that. Everyone agrees with that. He's got a serious

110
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: track record in the state of Wisconsin was it Wisconsin Whitewater,

111
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: two different stints, one as a head coach, most recently

112
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,119
Speaker 1: in the twenty teens, and he did what you want

113
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: someone to be able to do at Buffalo and he's

114
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,799
Speaker 1: currently doing it again at Kansas. There's no guesswork, there's

115
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: no figuring out whether he has the blueprint. When Nebraska,

116
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: for instance, hired Scott Frost, they were hoping, but they

117
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: found out there is no hope with Lance Leepold. He

118
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: knows how to do it. He knows how to turn

119
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: something around, knows how to build it. It just comes

120
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: down to whether A you can get him, and b

121
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: whether you want him, whether you think he's the right fit,

122
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: or whether you think you already have the candidate and house.

123
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: But my question before they start to name a head

124
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: coach or promote from with them, I just love to

125
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: know how serious are they? Are they as serious as

126
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: some of their other brethren in the Big Ten. All right,

127
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: so that's happening right now. I mean that's within the

128
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: last hour. So they haven't even made an official announcement,

129
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: or if they have, it's happened in the last twenty

130
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: minutes at Wisconsin. So we'll have plenty more on that

131
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: sometime this week. Week five was pretty incredible, wasn't it.

132
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,239
Speaker 1: I saw somewhere ten of the top twenty five teams

133
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: in the Apeopole fell yesterday. You know what that smells

134
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: like to me? By the way, Colin Jesse, you remember

135
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: last year Renaissance season. That's what it feels like to me.

136
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 1: And I know as we start to dive into this

137
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 1: first game in a second here, I know that a

138
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: lot of you, myself included, have looked at this sport

139
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: this year and you've said, boy, there is a jammed

140
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: up picture from about team four through team thirty five.

141
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: But those one, two, and three, they're unbreakable. The only

142
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: ones they're gonna break them or each other. Bam, Ohio State, Georgia, Well,

143
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: so Bama, we'll talk about it. They lost Bryce Young

144
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: for one game yesterday, still took care of business. Georgia

145
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: got put on the absolute ropes until the final whistle

146
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: against Missouri, and Ohio State looks like a machine at

147
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: the moment, but there's a long way to go. So

148
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: my question rhetorically as we enter the show tonight is

149
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: is the picture nearly as clear as you thought it

150
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: would be? Right now, let's dive into this. Mississippi State

151
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: beat Texas A and M yesterday forty two to twenty four.

152
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: This was the most high leverage game in the country yesterday.

153
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: It's why I'm leading the show off with it. High leverage,

154
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: as I detailed to you Thursday, because Jimbo Fisher really

155
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: needed to have this one. It wasn't a must win.

156
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: He's not getting fired tomorrow because he lost it. But

157
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: they really really needed it because now already before they

158
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: go play Bama, they're having to hit the reset button

159
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: on a lot of their goals, on a lot of

160
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: their expectations. But also there was I think an inordinate

161
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: amount of unseen pressure on Mike Leach by the nation

162
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: to win this one. Internally, they made a really really

163
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: big deal. The Mississippi State fan base made a really

164
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: big deal about this game because they had already lost

165
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: to LSU earlier this year. And as we were coming

166
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: into this thing last week, remember a lot of people

167
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: looked at the spread on this and you were surprised

168
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: by it. Now, I told you tuesday. I told you

169
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: again Thursday. I was surprised that you were surprised. But

170
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: when you go back to that lie that a lot

171
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: of people tell themselves you are what your record says

172
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: you are. Folks saw Texas A and M beat Arkansas

173
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: and that's all they needed to see. And in reality,

174
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: that's not how this stuff works. That's not how from

175
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,599
Speaker 1: this point moving forward works. That's not how the predictive

176
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 1: modeling world of college football and the odds making world work.

177
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: So Mississippi State was a favorite of over a field

178
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: goal as the game kicked off. We took Mississippi State,

179
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: So we won that one. Let's take a look at

180
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: the game for a second. There is a padlock stat

181
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,599
Speaker 1: in this a big one and a surprise even to me,

182
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: and I picked State to win the game. But if

183
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: you tell me Mississippi State is going to run the

184
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 1: ball for six yards per carry against you knowing how

185
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: relatively bad they've been on the ground, and that's not

186
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: a this year thing. That's pretty much just been what

187
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: Mike Leach's offenses are. You got to give something to

188
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: get something from his offense, and that's normally been it.

189
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: They ran the ball six yards per carry, which has

190
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: been a theme against Texas A and M for pretty

191
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: much any opponent this year. I went looked today because

192
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: I knew they had been average at best. They haven't

193
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: been even average against the run. They ranked ninety seventh.

194
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: Texas A and M defensively ranks ninety seventh in the

195
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: country in yards per carry average against. I've got that

196
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: how on my face. Look, if you're listening on podcasts,

197
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: I agree with you. So that's the first. And look,

198
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: this was not a situation if you didn't watch this

199
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: game where State ripped off a ninety five yard run

200
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: and it kind of skewed the yards per carry average.

201
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: Their longest run of the game was twenty six yards.

202
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,719
Speaker 1: This was, as it seems on the surface, they just

203
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: ran the ball on a and messexx, I guarantee you,

204
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: outside of some very inferior competition down the road, that

205
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: is as successful as State will be on the ground

206
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: all year. I venture to think they may have even

207
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: been a little bit surprised at how successful they were

208
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: on the ground. Padlock stat number two pretty simple minus

209
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: two turnovers for Texas A and M. They are not

210
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: a team obviously that can afford that. So Mississippi State

211
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: wide receivers, I'll tell you what I respected the most.

212
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: They went back and they looked at that LSU game

213
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: and they knew there was not enough fight in that

214
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: position group. This is not a wide receiver room that's

215
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: just flushed with first round NFL Draft talent. They're good enough,

216
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: but they got to fight. They gotta win contested balls.

217
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: And they fought against A and M secondary yesterday and

218
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: they won some contested balls. And again you're playing A

219
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: and M. You don't have to score forty five to win.

220
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: You got to make a few of those plays. State did.

221
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: As it turns out, they had plenty of cushion. So

222
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: we talk about the winners first round here, good on

223
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: Mississippi State and they got Arkansas this week and if

224
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: they win that when they're really off to the racist.

225
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: But as for Texas, A and M, I got some

226
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: good news for you, and I got some bad news

227
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 1: for you. If you're an A and M fan, Take

228
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: the good news first. The good news is the problem

229
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 1: is clear. You don't have to wonder where the water

230
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: is coming from. Okay, you know where the leak in

231
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: the boat is, So that's good. At least we have

232
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: one mystery solved. Here's the really bad news. The captain

233
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: of the ship seems to be the only person that's

234
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: not convinced the thing sinking, that's not convinced that there's

235
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 1: a leak anywhere. Now his feet are wet because there's

236
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: water all over the place, on the floor. But at

237
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: that could be anything, you know, that could be a

238
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: faulty air conditioner, and there's this moisture dripping down off

239
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: of it. It's it's it's working, you know. If everything's

240
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: operating as it should, this thing will work fine. I

241
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: got a quote that I need you to look at

242
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: from Jimbo Fisher's press conference yesterday because you may have

243
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 1: watched the game as a fan and said after this,

244
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: there's no way that he can deny any longer that

245
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: his offense isn't happening. I held up the I held

246
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 1: up the milk jug a couple of weeks ago, and

247
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: it's said expired in twenty fourteen. I mean, there's no

248
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 1: way jim Bokan can deny that now, right Well, here

249
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: was Jimbo Fisher postgame. Jimbo Fisher on his offensive system

250
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: quote the plays are there and we're there. Jimbo Fisher

251
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: on why it's not working. Quote, We're just not executing.

252
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: I've heard that about a million times from him. That's

253
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: just a million and one. This is not a good

254
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: situation for Texas A and M because it's obvious even

255
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: to the most common viewer that what they do is

256
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 1: not working. What I'm not saying is everyone's capable of

257
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 1: out diagramming and out scheming Jimbo Fisher on a grease board.

258
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: You don't have to be a doctor to know an

259
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: ugly baby when you see one. You just know the

260
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: baby looks ugly, and you call it like you see it.

261
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: This offense is ugly. You don't have to be able

262
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 1: to necessarily diagram it on a grease board to understand

263
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 1: the results are what matter at the end of the day.

264
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: He and his offense. The thing they're running out there

265
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 1: right now is not delivering results. And so you got

266
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: one of two options. You can either continue begging your

267
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: head against the wall every week and telling yourself, you know,

268
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: if every one of these players does what's written on

269
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: these pieces of paper, these forty seven pieces of paper

270
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: in front of me, it'll work. And he's right. The

271
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: thing about it is, and the most maddening part to

272
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 1: me has been and always will be. They're about four

273
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: to six programs in America where they recruit at such

274
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: a high level they can choose anything they want to do.

275
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: They can run any offense they want to run because

276
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 1: they can get any kind of athlete with which to

277
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: do it. At Texas, A and M, this is what

278
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: they're choosing to do with all the options in the world.

279
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: This is not service academy football. They're not being forced

280
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 1: to run the option due to lack of options. They

281
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: can do whatever they want. At Bama. When Nick Saban

282
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: realized he can do whatever he wants, what they do

283
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: now is what he decided to do. At Ohio State,

284
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: they can do whatever they want. What they're doing, that's

285
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: what they decide to do. At Texas A and M.

286
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: This is what they're deciding to do with that kind

287
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: of talent. Now, the other question that's been asked a

288
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: whole lot to me and in generals from and N fans,

289
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: is well, can we fix it this year? No, you

290
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: can't fix it this year. This requires taking that thing

291
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: into port and there are some systemic changes that have

292
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: to happen from the whole, from the ground up. In

293
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: other words, no, you can't fix this. It would require

294
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: overhauling an offense. This is why I told you when

295
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: Haines King was getting knocked and everyone said, oh, it's

296
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: time to go with Max Johnson. That is a ken

297
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: to taking the expired milk and putting a different label

298
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: on it. It's the same milk. It's just a different label.

299
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: It's the same offense. Guys, it's just Max Johnson who's

300
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: playing as hard out. I'll say that about that entire team.

301
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: You can't not the effort, you can't not the competitive spirit.

302
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: But competing's not enough. You've got to be able to

303
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: put guys in position to make play. You've got to

304
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: be able to take all that talent you have, and

305
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: you gotta be able to properly leverage it. Otherwise you're

306
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: just winning recruiting titles for recruiting title's sake. And even

307
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: though I know that we work at a company that

308
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: gives out a mythical trophy for finishing number one in recruiting,

309
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: those things don't matter. That just makes you look more

310
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: stupid when you can't win with them. So that's where

311
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: Texas A and M is right now. Now here's the

312
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: multimillion dollar question that will not be answered this week

313
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: or next week or in October or November period. Jimbo

314
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: Fisher's got I hesitate to use this hyperbolical term, but

315
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: he's got a fork in the road coming in his career.

316
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: Jimbo's got a fork in the road coming. It's not

317
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: gonna happen the season, but it's gonna happen after the

318
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: season because it's very very clear of what they do

319
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: systemically doesn't work. Offensively, it does not work. And that's

320
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: not even to mention the struggles they've started to have

321
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: a little bit defensively against the run. But you can

322
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: chalk that up to just being young. You can chalk

323
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: that up to just being down on that side of

324
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,239
Speaker 1: the ball. This is a year over year thing. Offensively,

325
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: it's not gonna get any better because it's not gonna

326
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: change because he sees fit to keep it the way

327
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: it is. So the multimillion dollar question is going to

328
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: be Jimbo Fisher a guy willing to either relinquish control

329
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: of his offense and I don't think he is. But

330
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: is he a guy willing to do that? Or is

331
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: he a guy willing to try and reinvent himself philosophically

332
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: at this stage of his career. That stuff is hard,

333
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: if not impossible, for most people to do. That's the

334
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: situation Texas A and M is M. You're going to

335
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: see a lot of talk about Jimbo Fisher being on

336
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: the hot seat. He's not on the hot seat right now.

337
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: You're going to see a lot of talk about boosters

338
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: pooling money to pay his buyout. It's ludicrous. That's not

339
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: the kind of conversation that's happening right now, or at

340
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: least it's not the real kind of conversation happening. And

341
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: the other thing that I want to make clear, this

342
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: is not a program in disarray. This is a Ferrari

343
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: with flat tires. If you want to see a program

344
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 1: in disarray, there are other areas in the SEC West,

345
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: you can look if you want to find a program

346
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: in disarray, and maybe some of our younger Texas A

347
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: and M fans need to learn what a program in

348
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 1: disarray really means. This program's fine, This program's actually incredibly strong.

349
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 1: The team is bad right now. But team and program

350
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: are two different things. And the bottom line is, I'll

351
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 1: tell you this. If you're an A and M fan

352
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: and you tell me your program is broken. What do

353
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 1: you think would happen if I went and hired Ryan

354
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: Day or Nick Saban or someone like that from January

355
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty three on be the head coach there.

356
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: How do you think the twenty twenty three Aggie team

357
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 1: would look. It would be one of the best teams

358
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: in the country because they would overhaul philosophically what you do.

359
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: They would poortal in guys at quarterback, they would portal

360
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 1: in guys at receiver, and immediately you'd be one of

361
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: the best teams in the country cause all the foundations

362
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: already laid. You got incredible infrastructure out there, you got

363
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: incredible buy in, You've got everything that you need to

364
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: win right now. That team's got everything they need to

365
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 1: win right now. Almost everything. The problem is that that

366
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: almost but not quite enough, You're kind of looking at

367
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: the top of the pyramid, not the bottom of it.

368
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,199
Speaker 1: I was in Oxford yesterday at the Old Miss Kentucky game.

369
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: I'll talk about that more a little bit later, but

370
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: I handed out about a metric ton of these Academy

371
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: Sports and Outdoors gift cards. They had a grand opening

372
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: in Lexington, Kentucky, ironically, not where I was yesterday. Man,

373
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: it would have worked out really great if that were

374
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: a home game for Kentucky. A lot of you checked in.

375
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you about one more day. If

376
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: you went to the grand opening and you have proof

377
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 1: that you were there, send it to me emails more

378
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: preferably DM. That's how I get it quicker, Instagram, Twitter

379
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: at late Kick Josh tag me on Twitter if you

380
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 1: just want to put it out there to the public public,

381
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: I've already gotten I don't know how many submissions, probably

382
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: close to one hundred, if not a couple of hundred submissions.

383
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: So you guys flooded that store over the weekend, so

384
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 1: preciate that. And the reason I'm telling you I'm giving

385
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: you until tomorrow is we're giving away ten chal live

386
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: supremacy randomly. So I'm just going to close my eyes.

387
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to reach in the bag, and I've already

388
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: given a couple of them out because some of you

389
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: dropped like over one thousand dollars there, and it's not

390
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: always directly attributed to how much you spend, but some

391
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: of the first submissions we had were really over the top.

392
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: So I had to acknowledge that Academy Sports and Outdoors

393
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: are exclusive partner, our only partners, the only one we have,

394
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: it's the only one we need. They make everything possible,

395
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: They make the show free for you. They do all that,

396
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: and here's the added bonus for you. They have so

397
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: much stuff that you want and you need in your life,

398
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: and especially if you're a college football fan, especially if

399
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 1: you're outdoorsy at all, if you grill, if it ever

400
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: rains where you are, if you wear clothes out of

401
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: your house, if you do anything that a normal human

402
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: being does, Academy Sports and Outdoors chances are they have

403
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: several things that you need in life. And if you

404
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: can't get to one in person, even though it seems

405
00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: like we're opening up a new one every other day,

406
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: Academy dot Com that is your hookup. And they when

407
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: I say they hook us up, I mean they hook

408
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,719
Speaker 1: us up. So thank you so much. Let me tell

409
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: you what Jesse's doing right now. Jesse's really high on himself.

410
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 1: Not because the Lions one today, of course they didn't,

411
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 1: but Jesse. Jesse was on Michigan yesterday and I was

412
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,479
Speaker 1: on Iowa plus the Points, and so Jesse's feeling good

413
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 1: about himself. When he feels good about himself, he plays

414
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: with the teleprompter and right now it says remember to

415
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: like and subscribe, and he's just just toying with it.

416
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: Pretty unprofessional in my opinion, but you know what it is.

417
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 1: What it is, so make sure you like the video.

418
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 1: We got about six hundred of him right now. Thumbs up,

419
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: thumbs up, thumbs up, and subscribe to the channel. All right,

420
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: we got a lot more to get to, I mean

421
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: a lot more. Let's take a let's take our first

422
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 1: sip of this mysterious orange beverage. Here. The last time

423
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: that I consumed what is in this glass, I was

424
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: in Columbus, Georgia. I know that sounds mysterious. It is,

425
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: but look, the company doesn't sponsor us. I gotta fix

426
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 1: my earpiece. The company doesn't sponsor, so I don't know

427
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: what you want from you. Clemson beat NC State thirty

428
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: to twenty. This game was not nearly as close as

429
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,199
Speaker 1: the final score indicated. But boy, for those of us

430
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: on the over and that was everyone associated with the

431
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,239
Speaker 1: Rominudle Express, that last score, that garbage time score from

432
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: NC State meant something to us. Did you notice the

433
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: mood start to shift last week around the ACC I did.

434
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: I felt it myself. The mood I'm talking about is

435
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: you see Clemson almost get beat by wake Forest. Translation,

436
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: you see Clemson win against wake Forest, but it was

437
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: an overtime, and so you're looking around and you're you're

438
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: starting to sense that mood of is this conference wide open?

439
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 1: Is this anyone's conference? If we saw what Clemson is

440
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: on their way to becoming yesterday, No it's not wide open,

441
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: And no it's not anyone's conference. Now, this is not

442
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: an invincible team, that little orange tiger paw there, but

443
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 1: that's the class of this conference still and after the

444
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, let's make no mistake about that.

445
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: We're looking at the current odds to win the ac

446
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 1: of Via Caesar Sports Book on the screen here, and

447
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: if you're listening on podcast, Clemson's a minus one sixty

448
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 1: favorite right now. I still think you would be surprised

449
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: that these second odds on favorite to win the ACC,

450
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: which probably goes to show you how not wide open

451
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: it is. Miami. It's still Miami at plus seven fifty Jesse.

452
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: They play North Carolina this week. I think, so Miami

453
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 1: and North Carolina are two three and they're way behind Clemson.

454
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: But I just wanted to give you an idea. So

455
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: let's dive into this thing because the game is not

456
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: hard to figure out. If you watched it, it wasn't

457
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: difficult to figure out at all. It was as simple

458
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 1: as dj Luiangolila is just a better quarterback than he

459
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: was last year. Got some numbers here for you. Last year,

460
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: at this point after five games, he had three touchdowns,

461
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: he had three picks. He was a fifty four percent

462
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: completion guy. This year eleven touchdowns to one interception, sixty

463
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 1: five percent completion guy. And it's not like they've massively

464
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: upgraded talent wise at the skill position. Will Shipley's playing

465
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: very good football, but I mean, look at his wide

466
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 1: receiver corps there there. I would say a level up

467
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 1: from what it was collectively last year. But this is

468
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: not a bunch first and second round guys in that

469
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 1: receiver room. DJ's has gotten better and he's he's taken

470
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: it upon himself, taking it as a personal challenge. It's

471
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 1: something to be really proud of because see now that

472
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: he has improved his game, and it's not just a mirage,

473
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: it's not fool's gold. You can solidly now start to

474
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: statistically see even if you want to have your heart

475
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: deny it and your eyes deny it, statistically there's no

476
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: denying he's a better player now and he's outperformed my expectations.

477
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 1: So I'm not into well, actually I issue apologies sometimes

478
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 1: I don't think an apology is necessary. You know what,

479
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: why not if DJ is watching the show and he

480
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: took things that were that were said on this show

481
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 1: the wrong way. Yeah, let's apologize to him tonight, but

482
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: let's congratulate him. He's playing really well well and he's

483
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 1: outperformed what my expectations would have been for him this year.

484
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: And as a result, you got to totally recalibrate your

485
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: thinking on Clemson. I'll talk about that in a second,

486
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: But yesterday he was twenty one to thirty two hundred

487
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: and nine yards. He ran it fourteen times for seventy

488
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: three yards. This is the best defense they're going to

489
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: play in conference play this year or in the regular

490
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: season this year. Firmly believe that no turnovers. It's a

491
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: huge deal because if you watch the way NC State

492
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: played them a lot of zone pressure. I thought that

493
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,719
Speaker 1: it was going to be an environment for him conducive

494
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: to maybe a game that gave you pause to buying

495
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:43,719
Speaker 1: into the maturation process and the evolution of him as

496
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: a player. It wasn't. In fact, it was probably a

497
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: feather in the cap of that ideology. DJ is a

498
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,360
Speaker 1: much better player this year than he was last year.

499
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: Padlock stat very easy to see. It jumps out like

500
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: a sore thumb from the stat line. One point six

501
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: yards per carry for NC State. They just they If

502
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: you've ever seen those old Volvo commercials, one of my buddies,

503
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 1: mom had a Volvo back in the day, and we

504
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: always loved to ride in it because they sold the

505
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: car as being the safest car in the world. It

506
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 1: was like a little tank that was presentable on the road,

507
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: and they would show the crash dummy video and the

508
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,360
Speaker 1: Volvo always held up better. But in the end, even

509
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 1: the Volvo was just running into a brick wall. NC

510
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: State was the Volvo last night, and it was worse

511
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: for wear as a result. I mean, Devin Leary did

512
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: what he could. That passing game did what they could.

513
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: There's just not really a lot of functionality when you're

514
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 1: running it for less than two yards per carry, and

515
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: that's a major part of your game plan. I can

516
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 1: guarantee you few truths in this uncertain world of ours,

517
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: but I can promise you NC State did not want

518
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: to be two point five to one pass to run

519
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: ratio last night. That that's what they had to be.

520
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 1: Interesting time for NC State here. I'll get back to

521
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: Clemson in a second, but it's a very interesting time

522
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: for them because this was the game. No mistake, they

523
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: beat them last year. This was the game. Because it's

524
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: a very very veteran laden roster. They won nine games

525
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: last year. The step up for them this year was

526
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: let's go beat Clemson and let's go play for the

527
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: ACC championship. And it's not impossible now, but it's gonna

528
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: be tough for them to get there because Clemson's got

529
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: a game and a half lead on them. Really, this

530
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: is not the Pac twelve. They don't just take the

531
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: two best teams regardless of division, So you gotta win

532
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: your division here. Still, they've got a tough game this week.

533
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: They got Florida State. Florida State's in wounded animal mode

534
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 1: and NC State. I'm very interested to see how they

535
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: respond because they've still got a path to a double

536
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 1: digit win season. They have not done that there since

537
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 1: the early two thousands, so there's a lot to play for.

538
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: You've just got to have yourself wired right mentally. You

539
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 1: gotta do what wigg Forest was able to do yesterday.

540
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: You gotta bounce back. They make you play twelve of

541
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: these things. I don't care how much you circle one game.

542
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: If the schedule says you play again seven days later,

543
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: you play seven days later. They can be a ten

544
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: win team. They can still do a lot of things

545
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 1: they haven't done in a while around there. I got

546
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 1: to adjust to Clemson profile. Though we had them I

547
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: think at nine or eight in the JP pole last week,

548
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: they're better than that. And they're better than that because

549
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:12,959
Speaker 1: they're better at quarterback then I thought they were going

550
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: to be. To this point, they're trying to get healthy

551
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: in the secondary. I don't want to oversell this team.

552
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: This is not a team to me that is on

553
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 1: par with your Ohio States or your Bamage. Yet they're

554
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: not in that classification. Although there have been times in

555
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 1: the past several years where they have been. That's not

556
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 1: where they are yet. So let's responsibly pump the brakes,

557
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: but let's also give due credit trying to get healthy

558
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: in the secondary. Thought Nate Wiggins played a much better

559
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 1: game yesterday. He was one of the players we circled

560
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: in the preseason. I thought he thought he validated himself

561
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 1: quite well last night. Pass pro still giving them some

562
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 1: issues the passing game. You know, they're not overly dynamic there,

563
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: but they've been plenty good enough. So this can be

564
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: a good team. Really good team can be the ACC champion,

565
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: and if they do that, they're going to the playoffs.

566
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: So Clemson's got it in him to do a lot

567
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 1: of things that they can couldn't do last year. Congratulations

568
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: to Devoswiney and the Tigers. For some reason, a lot

569
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 1: of you think it pains me to say that, Hey,

570
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: what color is the beverage on the set? I rest

571
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 1: my case just because I can't pronounce the s and

572
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: it sounds like a ze. Doesn't mean I have it

573
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: in for Clemson. Clemson sounds bad. That's like the Brigham

574
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 1: Young of the Carolinas for me. All right, let's talk

575
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: about this game wide range of emotions yesterday and fate

576
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 1: of Arkansas. Bama forty nine Arkansas twenty six. Imagine being

577
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: the person who, as halftime approached, decided, I'm gonna run

578
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: to the store right quick. I'm gonna go get something

579
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: to eat right quick. The last thing you saw before

580
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: you left the house was Bama leading twenty eight to nothing.

581
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: And then you get back and they're up what forty

582
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: nine to twenty three or twenty six, and you say,

583
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: I didn't really miss much while you were gone. This

584
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: thing got to twenty eight to twenty three in the

585
00:28:55,920 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. There was a third and fifteen where Obama

586
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: was on their own twenty yard line and Arkansas's got

587
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: all the momentum in the world, and Jalen Millroad he

588
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: could have run a little rock if he wanted to.

589
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: Point being, this thing was in the balance everything. If

590
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: I were to ask you Friday that you would have

591
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: told me Arkansas needed for an upset happened. This is

592
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: really impressive for Alabama. Really, it's not a flawless performance.

593
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: But when you consider what happened here, think about it.

594
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: If I were to ask you, Friday, Hey, lay out

595
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: the scenario, give me a few bullet points. What would

596
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: Arkansas need for an upset? Well, it certainly wouldn't hurt

597
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: their efforts if Bama was without Bryce Young. Bryce Young

598
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: missed the entire second half and a lot of the

599
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: first half. Here they re covered an on side kick.

600
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: Bama had probably the worst snap in the modern era

601
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: on punt team that gave Arkansas a very very short

602
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: field that they scored on. Bama had over one hundred

603
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: yards in penalties. Everything Arkansas needed in that upset recipe

604
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: was present yesterday, and yet Bama still won and they

605
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: still covered, and it just seems so weird. It was

606
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: a It was like three or four different versions of

607
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: the game got rolled into one, so you saw a

608
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: little bit of everything. But I get overly impressed with

609
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff no matter who the team is.

610
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: I think sometimes if you get the benefit of being

611
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: able to do what we do, which is go to

612
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: a game every week, you developed this ultra high sense

613
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: of appreciation for teams that win on the road. Home

614
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: field advantage is one of those things that's talked about

615
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: a lot, but it's not overrated. If anything, it's underrated.

616
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: There are some other things in this game that are

617
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: talked about a lot, and they're way overrated. Playing college

618
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: football on the road is just hard to do. It's

619
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: really hard to Kirby Smart was talking about it last night,

620
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: and he's not wrong. A lot of people scoff and

621
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: dismiss it. Oh, it's only Missouri. You get everyone Super Bowl, man,

622
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: you get everyone's ball, that includes the crowd. I'm there

623
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: for all the big games, so I know how much

624
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: louder those places are than they normally are. Anyway, if

625
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: you are without the Heisman Trophy winner and you go

626
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: into a place where that team's backs against the wall

627
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: and they're a very talented team, and at the end

628
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: of the day, I can't even tell the difference on

629
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: the scoreboard, I can't even tell that you were missing

630
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: Bryce Young because you still hung half a hunda on Arkansas.

631
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: That stuff impresses me. So that's the way I saw that.

632
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: I mean, Padlock, stat's pretty obvious. If Bama's hanging seven

633
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: point five yards per carry on you, Bama's gonna beat you.

634
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: Kobe Prnis, Isaiah Bond, Jojo Earl, three names. I want

635
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: to just keep on your radar because a couple of

636
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: weeks ago we had a question on the show about

637
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 1: how Bama didn't have speed or the ability to separate

638
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,479
Speaker 1: after the Texas game. Remember that, remember when receivers couldn't

639
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: get open. That part was true, receivers weren't getting open.

640
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: But then the follow up, which I thought was flawed,

641
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: was Bama didn't have enough speed at receiver. They can't

642
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: get separation. No, no, no, no, no, no. Two different things there.

643
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: They didn't get separation against Texas. They got all the

644
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: speed in the world. The speed's not a problem there.

645
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: And if you watched players like Kobe Prentis yesterday, if

646
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: you watch Jamiir Gibbs us a running back, look at him.

647
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: Could have also run to Little Rock several times yesterday.

648
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: But Kobe Prentiss, Isaiah Bond, they got Jojo Earl back yesterday.

649
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: They got I haven't even mentioned Harrold, who they got

650
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: from Louisville, who just hasn't been seen this year except

651
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: on the back of milk cartons. They got plenty of speed,

652
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: a lot of it's young. They got plenty of burners

653
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: in that receiver room. That's why I told you that's

654
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: not going to be an all year problem for them. Now.

655
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: It was the run game that carried them yesterday, which

656
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: is what I want to focus on for a second,

657
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: because they did this stuff. Jamiir gives incredible That's why

658
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: we made such a big deal about him when he

659
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: transferred from Georgia Tech. But they did this stuff absent

660
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: Bryce Young and absent that wide receiver room really being

661
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: able to care day. And it's because they ran for

662
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: like half a mile on Arkansas and it was a

663
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: bad look for Arkansas in the second half. This is

664
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: not the game that will haunt Arkansas, though, make no

665
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: mistake about this. I was listening to our buddy Tray Biddy.

666
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: He characterized this the exact right way. If you were

667
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: expecting Arkansas to beat Bama, you were kind of on

668
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: an island there. But man, them failing to beat A

669
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: and M last week, that's what will haunt them. But

670
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: even having said that, last week or yesterday is not

671
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: what's going to tell the tale with them this coming week.

672
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: Will they go to Mississippi State. State has opened as

673
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,959
Speaker 1: around a four or a five point favorite, and that

674
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: game is an early kick in Starkville that has big

675
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: time implications and consequences for both teams obviously, and you

676
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 1: see on the schedule. It's irresponsible, it's egregious scheduling practice

677
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 1: for Arkansas, but it is what it is. They go

678
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: to Mississippi State and then where do they go friends,

679
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: They go to Provo no rest, back to back road games,

680
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: and the second leg is in the Mountains in the

681
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 1: Rockies against Brigham Young. So you know, you already put

682
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: Cincinnati on there and it wasn't enough, so we just

683
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: had to throw Brigham Young on there for good measure.

684
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: The defense in the second half for Arkansas has a

685
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: lot of people fired up up there, and it should

686
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 1: because for all intents and purposes, Alabama was one dimensional

687
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: and that one dimension is still just ran over you.

688
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,439
Speaker 1: It was a bad look, a really really bad look.

689
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: I take nothing away from Bama. It was a bad

690
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: look for Arkansas. How do we begin to talk about

691
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: this next game? I should have Colin get the TVMA

692
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 1: graphic up because this next segment deserves it. Did any

693
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: of you watch TCU in Oklahoma yesterday, and if you did,

694
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: I got to ask the question did you allow your

695
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: children to watch it past the first quarter? Because if

696
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: you did, I'm not one to pair at your kids.

697
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 1: I just ask is it the most responsible thing to

698
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: let a child witness that? Fifty five to twenty four

699
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 1: was the final here? And believe me, it could have

700
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 1: been so much worse if Sunny Dyke's and TCU did

701
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: not have a big heart. It could have been so

702
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: much worse than that. You know how, sometimes when you're

703
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: looking at the bigger programs in college football, you've always

704
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: got that one buddy who looks at those teams and says, well,

705
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: I could coach that team to nine or ten wins. No,

706
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: you couldn't. You really couldn't. Fool What you saw from

707
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 1: Oklahoma yesterday is exactly what it would look like if

708
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:36,280
Speaker 1: a normal person took over a major college football program

709
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: for a week of preparation and game plan installation and

710
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: then put it on the field on Saturday. That's what

711
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 1: it would look like. Oklahoma more talented at almost every

712
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: position in TCU didn't matter. They got it handed to

713
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: them thoroughly. That's what it would look like if you

714
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: or I took over college football program for a day.

715
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 1: Now here's the problem, Raffle. No one bid on a

716
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 1: charity to coach Oklahoma yesterday. That was Brenton Venables. That

717
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 1: was his coaching staff. It sounds like I'm knocking them,

718
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: and I am, this is unacceptable, But I'm not on

719
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,280
Speaker 1: that train. I'm gonna talk about them in a second.

720
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 1: But I'm just I'm saying this one caught me a

721
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 1: little off guard. It was almost one where I looked

722
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: and said, hello, what's wrong with the scoreboard? Nothing was

723
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: wrong with it, It just was what it was. TCU

724
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: is a really good team. Okay. I know that sometimes

725
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: it's not popular to just say a team that beat

726
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: US is really good. TCU's really good. TCU is gonna

727
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: make a lot of noise. They're in the process of

728
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 1: making a lot of noise in the Big Twelve. This

729
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: is a conference that's wide open. By the way. I mean,

730
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: the team that they just splattered all over Fort Worth,

731
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 1: Texas yesterday was considered the favorite to win the conference.

732
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: That changed by the time the sun went down. This

733
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: was forty one to seventeen at halftime. Here's a fun

734
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: little padlock stat A first half padlock stat how does

735
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 1: ten ze point two yards per play in the first half?

736
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 1: Sound translation? Kids, I had stats and info confirmness for me.

737
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 1: That means every time TCU snapped the ball they recorded

738
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: a first down. On average gross gross gross, they had

739
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: six hundred and sixty eight total yards. Four hundred and

740
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,760
Speaker 1: seventeen of those were in the first half. Max Duggan,

741
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: you see him running there. He could have run to

742
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: little rock. Lot of folks could have run a little

743
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: rock yesterday if he wanted to remember that little quarterback

744
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: battle that they had going on in fall camp. Well,

745
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 1: Max Duggan is the starting quarterback there now. He was

746
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: twenty three or thirty three yesterday, three hundred and two

747
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: yards through the air, three touchdowns. Just for good measure,

748
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: he also ran it one hundred and sixteen yards for

749
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 1: two more touchdowns. They're good, They're just I don't know

750
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 1: what more to tell you. Get your kids ready to

751
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: live in a world where TCU under sunny Dykes is

752
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: really really good. This year TCU plays Kansas this Saturday.

753
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: This Saturday, people, they were a combined nine and zh

754
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 1: I no, yeah, there are a lot of teams out there.

755
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: By the way, totaling several losses, paying their coaches over

756
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: nine million a year. Do you know how many Sunny

757
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: Dykes or Lance Leopolds you could buy for that much money.

758
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 1: It's gonna leave that one out. They're gonna let it

759
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: float for a second. I think that when you go

760
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: back to Britain Vinnibles and his staff and there's a

761
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: lot of criticism being doled out, they're big boys. They

762
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 1: can take it. I've got some criticism. Yesterday was totally unacceptable.

763
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: This is compounded by the fact that they also got

764
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 1: owned by Kansas State the week before. Yes, it's bad,

765
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 1: it's unacceptable. There is no season where that's okay for Oklahoma.

766
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: Having said all that, I think coaching salaries and I

767
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 1: think the transfer portal and the hype video culture of

768
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,839
Speaker 1: college football right now has totally thrown logic into a

769
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: wood chipper. When you tell me that you have to

770
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: overturn a culture, I'm gonna take it to me and

771
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: exactly what you told me you got to overturn a culture.

772
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: When Lincoln Riley exited, not even stage left or stage right,

773
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: he just left out the back door. A lot of

774
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: Oklahoma folks told me it was rotten inside, and we

775
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: didn't like what the program had become. And now we're

776
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: gonna bring Brenton Vinibles in and he's going to redefine

777
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 1: the culture. Cool. That's great if you believe that it's

778
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 1: your program, it's not mine, But you got to respect

779
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 1: what that means. You can't just pay a guy twenty

780
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 1: percent more than you would have and expect that to

781
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: mean you can just microwave your way to the result

782
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,879
Speaker 1: you want. And you also can't just portal your way

783
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: immediately to it. And you can't You can't have a

784
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: bunch of hype videos that make you feel really good

785
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: about yourself in the spring and expect it to mean

786
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,280
Speaker 1: anything in the fall. When you're trying to redefine something,

787
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 1: there are some things you can't shortchange your way or

788
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 1: shortcut your way too, And doing that with a football program,

789
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: no matter how much you pay someone and no matter

790
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: how good you feel in the spring, it takes a

791
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: little while. And sometimes the heart our truth is you're

792
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: gonna have to incur some days like you did yesterday.

793
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: I would venture to think that's not the last loss

794
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: on Oklahoma's schedule this year. You may have another one

795
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: coming Saturday. But what you can't do is if Brent

796
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 1: Vinnables and his coaching staff have accurately gauged that program

797
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: and they see that there isn't a quick fix, the

798
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: last thing that you can do is dumbed down your

799
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: process for the sake of going nine and three or

800
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: eight and a four as posed to six and six.

801
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 1: If six and six is what it takes, that's what

802
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:33,359
Speaker 1: it takes. But I'm just telling you, in this day

803
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: and age, there are a lot of guys who have

804
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 1: never been head coaches before who are getting a shot,

805
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: and that's wonderful. I don't ever want to be the

806
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 1: person who stands in the way of a guy getting

807
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 1: the opportunity of a lifetime. There's no shortcut to learning

808
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 1: the lessons. There never will be. There's no shortcut to

809
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: developing experience as a head coach, as a staff, there

810
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: never will be. And you're going against guys out there

811
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:03,320
Speaker 1: climbing last week, Sonny Dyke's They've done it for a while.

812
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: Recruiting rankings falsely lead you to believe while we got

813
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 1: these big edges against them, No you don't. You didn't.

814
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: TCU was the better tc US, a better team than Oklahoma.

815
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: If they played again this week, you may not have

816
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 1: that bad an outcome, then beat you again this week.

817
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 1: Are you more talented? Sure you are. Did that mean anything? No,

818
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,720
Speaker 1: doesn't mean anything. No calls talent is not what wins.

819
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: A team wins. Now when a team is put in

820
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,399
Speaker 1: a proper position to utilize their talent, that's the best

821
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: of both worlds. But there's a little ways to go here.

822
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: Texas Oklahoma. Texas favored by about six in the Red

823
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 1: River Shootout this Saturday. It's not making excuses, it's just explaining.

824
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 1: This is the reality of this year's Oklahoma team. That's

825
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: the reality. Colin. I think it's time. This is a

826
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 1: good spot in the show. I think it's time. We

827
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: were in Oxford yesterday. I'm gonna talk about the game

828
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: a little bit later on, so I'll save my review

829
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: for them. Anyone who's for any length of time, really,

830
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: anyone who knows me in my personal life, you know

831
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 1: that my biggest beef with college football season is that

832
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 1: all the games happen at the same time. You know,

833
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: you sit there in February, March, April, May, June, July, August,

834
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: and you think about it, and you talk about it,

835
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: and you predict it, but then they all just come

836
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: at you once. And my biggest problem has been, I

837
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:28,399
Speaker 1: can only be at one game per Saturday? Or can

838
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: we only be at one game per Saturday? Now, of course,

839
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 1: if we were to want to attend one game across

840
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: town and get in a car and go across town

841
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: for the night cap, sure we can do that. But

842
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 1: what happens when these games are hundreds of miles apart? Now?

843
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: The one percenters amongst us have always had access to

844
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 1: something that breaks that wall down, private aviation, but us

845
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 1: common folk have not had access to that. The one

846
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 1: good thing about our audience, among many good things, is

847
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: I never have to ask twice for something from you guys.

848
00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 1: If anyone needs assistance, if you need to patronize academy,

849
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 1: sports and outdoors, anything we've ever needed around here, at

850
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 1: the drop of a hat, you've always done it. I've

851
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,800
Speaker 1: asked you, for example, to subscribe to the YouTube channel

852
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 1: over the past month, we had seventeen thousand subs in

853
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: the month of September, which is about four times more

854
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: than our next highest month ever. Thank you for that,

855
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,240
Speaker 1: and please continue to do so because it only helps

856
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 1: us do what I'm about to tell you we get

857
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 1: to join that private aviation club this week. And so

858
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 1: without further ado, I'm not announcing one stop on the

859
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: every given Saturday to our Saturday. I'm giving you two

860
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 1: of them. We're going to LSU for Tennessee versus LSU.

861
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:40,880
Speaker 1: You can knock this as being sec bias all you

862
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 1: want to. We were stamped and ready to go to

863
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 1: Red River and then Oklahoma screwed that up. So we

864
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,280
Speaker 1: are not going to be in Dallas at eleven am.

865
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:51,720
Speaker 1: We're going to be in Baton Rouge at eleven am.

866
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: Tennessee a three and a half point favorite at LSU.

867
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: We have not been to Baton Rouge in two years.

868
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 1: As you well know, if you've want this show any

869
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 1: length of time, I've got a very very special place

870
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 1: in my heart. You know. They use the purple heart

871
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:09,240
Speaker 1: emoji on the Aye Josh specifically for how I feel

872
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 1: about our friends down in Baton Rouge. So we'll be

873
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: down there. But here's what you don't know. What you

874
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,840
Speaker 1: don't know is another partner of ours came in several

875
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: weeks ago and they purchased four road trips for us

876
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: to make. We already made one of them for Auburn

877
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: Penn State. Our second one comes up this week and

878
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 1: it's in Tuscaloosa where Texas A and M goes to Alabama.

879
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 1: You know what time that game kicks off. That game

880
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: kicks off at seven PM, and so we're gonna be

881
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,359
Speaker 1: in Baton Rouge for Tennessee LSU. That kicks off at

882
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: eleven AM, and then we'll take ourselves right up the road.

883
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 1: Even though we won't be on the road to Alabama

884
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 1: for Texas A and M and Alabama may even do

885
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: some pregame coverage there. So we in addition to that,

886
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: will be in Tuscaloosa this Thursday for Late Kick Live

887
00:44:56,320 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 1: on the Road and our location is TBD, but I've

888
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: got a pretty good idea that you're going to like

889
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:06,840
Speaker 1: our location there, so just stay tuned for that. But

890
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 1: the every given Saturday tour, we are spreading our wings

891
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: very very literally and we are going to hit two

892
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 1: games in one day. We thought we could do it

893
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: last year and I dropped the ball. So this year

894
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,879
Speaker 1: we're going to make it happen. First of hopefully many

895
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 1: opportunities for us to do this. Tennessee LSU our early

896
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 1: kick and appropriately named A and M and Alabama our

897
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:32,399
Speaker 1: later kick, Thank you because you made that possible for us.

898
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 1: Thank you. Okay, let's roll on, boy. This one came

899
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: out of nowhere too. Where were you last night when

900
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: Missouri was leading Georgia in the fourth quarter. Georgia ends

901
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 1: up winning this twenty six to twenty two with nine

902
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 1: to thirty nine left to go in regulation. That was

903
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 1: the moment that Georgia first found the end zone. Now,

904
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 1: what if I gave you odds on that, what if

905
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,399
Speaker 1: I gave you that little prop bet? I was caught

906
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 1: completely by surprise. I mean, remember where we were, guys.

907
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 1: Georgia had a struggle win against Kent State, which means

908
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: they are going to go and annihilate whoever they play next. Right. Meanwhile,

909
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 1: Missouri has the most heartbreaking loss imaginable the week before,

910
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 1: which is gonna crush their spirit, right, and then there

911
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 1: they are against Georgia last night, leading in the fourth quarter.

912
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 1: If you were watching this, and I was, I got

913
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 1: all the way back to Nashville by seven o'clock last night.

914
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 1: I was in our office watching all the late games.

915
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,799
Speaker 1: You were probably thinking, like I was, when is the

916
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: burst coming? You just you know it's coming. This is

917
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 1: gonna be a really good story that Missouri led this

918
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,840
Speaker 1: thing through three quarters, but Georgia ends up pulling away.

919
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 1: That's the way that game's supposed to happen. And the

920
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 1: burst never came. And in retrospect, it's fair to ask

921
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: yourself where was the burst gonna come from. It wasn't

922
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:54,320
Speaker 1: gonna come from the running back position. Georgia, by their standard,

923
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 1: just pretty average there this year. It wasn't gonna come

924
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: from the wide receiver room. Georgia does not have special

925
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 1: talent in that room. They don't have the ability to

926
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 1: be explosive. They don't have a lead athleticism in that

927
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: room this year, and as a result, you don't have

928
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,879
Speaker 1: a quarterback that can take over a game. Now here's

929
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 1: what they do have. Because I think Georgia right now

930
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: is about to get played the same way Clemson did

931
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 1: last year. When folks realized Clemson just had a bunch

932
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 1: of guys who looked impressive but couldn't beat you at

933
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: wide receiver, they played Clemson differently. I think folks are

934
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,839
Speaker 1: gonna play Georgia that way. Here's the difference. Georgia's got

935
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 1: a tight end room that can still take over games.

936
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 1: They got a tight end room that's full of some

937
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:35,760
Speaker 1: of the best players in the country. But they're gonna

938
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 1: get played different. And that kind of goes back to

939
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:41,760
Speaker 1: that Week one deal where they just blow out Oregon,

940
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 1: And I told you it reminded me potentially of the

941
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:49,320
Speaker 1: same thing last year that Bama did to Miami. Bama

942
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 1: blows Miami out early in twenty twenty one, and everyone

943
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 1: says that team's unbeatable, they're gonna have a death march

944
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 1: to the national title. Well, they weren't unbeatable, and they

945
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 1: didn't have a death march to the national title. In fact,

946
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 1: they almost got beat several times on the road. They

947
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 1: did get beat one time on the road. They were

948
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: good enough to win any game they played, but they

949
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 1: weren't invincible. Georgia this year just destroyed Oregon in Week one,

950
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 1: and now you've seen him a few times look vulnerable.

951
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 1: And you got to ask yourself, if you drew conclusions

952
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: in week one, did you violate one of me Mal's principles?

953
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 1: A foolish man concludes in week one. A wise man

954
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 1: observes in week one, there were a lot of flaws

955
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 1: with this team. You just didn't see in Week one.

956
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 1: Now here's the plus side. They're still good enough to

957
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 1: win a national championship. This was never going to be

958
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:42,439
Speaker 1: a flawless team. And the whole defending champion thing, there's

959
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:44,880
Speaker 1: a reason I don't use that phrasing on the show.

960
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 1: This team hadn't won anything. There are a lot of

961
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: players on this team that had very little of anything

962
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 1: to do with that championship last year, and the ones

963
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:56,319
Speaker 1: who did are in new circumstances themselves this year. I

964
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:58,360
Speaker 1: don't think this is a deal that has to do

965
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 1: anything with complacency. I don't get that sense from them.

966
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 1: If you've got new pieces, if you've got younger guys,

967
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 1: just because they're not playing maybe at the same level

968
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 1: or with quite the same intensity as the version you

969
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:17,320
Speaker 1: saw last year, doesn't automatically mean it's complacency. That's just natural.

970
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 1: Those are the kind of growing pains that you get

971
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 1: from human beings, period, regardless of whether they're playing for

972
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 1: a logo on their helmet that did something last year

973
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 1: or not. So the observation that people made in Week

974
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:32,840
Speaker 1: one in retrospect probably got blown up a little bit

975
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 1: too much. Now I get it. It's hard to watch

976
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: what Georgia did to Oregon in week one and not

977
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 1: be ultra impressed by it. But now we start to

978
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:41,800
Speaker 1: learn what Georgia really is. And this is where you

979
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 1: got to get to work. If you're Kurby Smart in

980
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 1: his staff, you got to get to work. Now. You're

981
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 1: still better than every team they're going to play on

982
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 1: their schedule, but you start to realize, all right, if

983
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 1: a team pops us early, no, I mean, I can't

984
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:58,319
Speaker 1: help but think down the road about when they play

985
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:02,319
Speaker 1: Tennessee because it's the most dangerous passing attack they'll play

986
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:05,840
Speaker 1: all year. I can't help but think about what happens

987
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 1: if that team gets up, you know, thirteen seventeen to

988
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:12,360
Speaker 1: three or something like that, because it may not be

989
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 1: as easy, because you may not be able to just

990
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 1: make them sit still while you slowly reeled them in

991
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,399
Speaker 1: like you did in Missouri last night. The point is, look,

992
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 1: losing a game's not the end of the world. We've

993
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 1: seen teams lose games and win national championships. But this

994
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:27,319
Speaker 1: Georgia team is going to be a lot more work

995
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: in progress. I get the sense that there are some

996
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: younger guys on this team that you may have sparingly

997
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,399
Speaker 1: seen so far that you're going to end up seeing

998
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 1: more and more because here's what Kirby Smart's not going

999
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 1: to do. What Kirby Smart's not going to do is

1000
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:42,960
Speaker 1: just keep the same guys in the same positions for

1001
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:47,839
Speaker 1: the sake of seniority and blah blah blah. They have

1002
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 1: some of the most incredible practices you could ever imagine.

1003
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 1: Some of the most high level competition in America is

1004
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 1: happening Monday through Thursday in Athens, Georgia. And it may

1005
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:00,160
Speaker 1: very well be that some of those young guys have

1006
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 1: on campus because they're not getting the result, they're not

1007
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 1: playing to the standard they want to. It may be

1008
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 1: that those guys get more shots and get more playing

1009
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:11,719
Speaker 1: time down the road. It happens every year there. They

1010
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:14,319
Speaker 1: just may happen a little more abundantly this year. But

1011
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,359
Speaker 1: they got some good they got some good players there.

1012
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 1: They got some great players there. Potentially, it's not a

1013
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 1: great team at the moment, but understand the scale we're

1014
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:24,359
Speaker 1: talking about here. That's still one of the three best

1015
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 1: teams in the country. And you're watching them yesterday. If

1016
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 1: you're a Georgia fan, you're finding every reason to knock

1017
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:31,799
Speaker 1: what you're watching. Just goes to show you the kind

1018
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:35,319
Speaker 1: of rarefied air you're in as a program when you

1019
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 1: know your struggle is the envy of most of the

1020
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 1: rest of the country. Twenty six to twenty two against Missouri.

1021
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 1: I did not see it coming. They're watching us in Tupelo, Mississippi.

1022
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 1: They're watching us in Rockwell, Texas, and Salt Lake City,

1023
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 1: Utah is tuned in all right. The game I was

1024
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 1: at yesterday, Ole miss twenty two Kentucky nineteen. You know,

1025
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:59,280
Speaker 1: we had a lot of criticism about where we chose

1026
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:01,440
Speaker 1: to go for the every given Saturday to her, which

1027
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 1: I'm fine with. But no one showed up today. No

1028
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:09,359
Speaker 1: one showed up yesterday and said I was wrong. Turns

1029
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 1: out you picked the right one to go to. As

1030
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 1: Clemson was blowing out in c State last night, no

1031
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,919
Speaker 1: one came back and said I was wrong. You ended

1032
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 1: up going to the one you should have gone to.

1033
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:22,239
Speaker 1: This one fit all the parameters for what we look

1034
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 1: for in the games that we attend, and we don't

1035
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 1: always pick perfectly, but we did yesterday. This was the

1036
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 1: game to be at. It was a four quarter game.

1037
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 1: It was decided in the final minute. I said last

1038
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,360
Speaker 1: week in the preview. I had never been more convinced

1039
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 1: that turnovers were going to decide a game. Turnovers unequivocally

1040
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: decided this game, namely two of them by Kentucky in

1041
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:49,720
Speaker 1: the red zone in the final minutes of this game.

1042
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:55,280
Speaker 1: One thing I thought about Ole Miss actually did not happen.

1043
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:58,959
Speaker 1: I was monitoring their center position all week last week,

1044
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,799
Speaker 1: and it ended up that they were without their starting center. Now,

1045
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 1: why that was significant, I thought, it's because I thought

1046
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 1: that that would throw their timing and rhythm off a

1047
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 1: little bit to where Jackson Dart was just too vulnerable

1048
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 1: and too careless with the ball, and it ended up

1049
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 1: in a couple of turnovers. Now, he had some balls

1050
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:19,880
Speaker 1: across the middle that were tipped, but they were never picked,

1051
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:23,280
Speaker 1: so he didn't He threw one interception, but he didn't

1052
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:26,360
Speaker 1: have that horrific day that I thought may be coming.

1053
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 1: And here's why it's so impressive. He was handling bad

1054
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:35,040
Speaker 1: snaps all game. I could not believe how poor they

1055
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 1: were snapping the ball yesterday, or I guess I could.

1056
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:40,319
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe that they didn't have to pay for

1057
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:42,799
Speaker 1: it in the form of a loss or multiple turnovers.

1058
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 1: So after the game, Lane Kiffin said, I know it

1059
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 1: may surprise you that I think this, but I think

1060
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 1: Jackson Dart played a good game. That's what he meant.

1061
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:54,400
Speaker 1: He didn't outright call his center out, That's what he meant.

1062
00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:57,880
Speaker 1: They should have been discombobulated beyond the point of recognition yesterday,

1063
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 1: and they weren't. They did enough. It was some of

1064
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:03,960
Speaker 1: their lowest output of the season. Offensively, They did enough.

1065
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 1: Kentucky had this thing where they needed it, absolutely had

1066
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:09,200
Speaker 1: it where they needed it. If you would have told

1067
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 1: Mark Stoops, you're going to hold Ole Miss into the

1068
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:17,359
Speaker 1: low twenties at home, and you're going to have two

1069
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 1: opportunities inside the red zone late offensively, will you take it?

1070
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 1: He said, where do I sign? And they got it,

1071
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:28,799
Speaker 1: and it wasn't enough because two times Kentucky turns the

1072
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 1: ball over. It was a bad day for will Levis,

1073
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:37,879
Speaker 1: a bad situational day for will Levis. They got Chris

1074
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 1: Rodriguez back yesterday, did Kentucky. And I wasn't convinced it

1075
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:43,840
Speaker 1: was going to make that big a difference, and it didn't.

1076
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 1: It did not. He's a good player, but they're just

1077
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 1: not equipped to run the ball right now. They were

1078
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:51,920
Speaker 1: still under three yards per carry yesterday, and as a result,

1079
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 1: it did put Kentucky in some unfavorable situations. And ole

1080
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:59,240
Speaker 1: Miss had three sacks, they had nine tackles for loss.

1081
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 1: You saw in the fourth quarter them forced two turnovers.

1082
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:05,839
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the difference in the game. So it

1083
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:09,960
Speaker 1: was an entertaining game to witness. I think that the

1084
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 1: overall complimentary style that ole Miss played is such a

1085
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:16,960
Speaker 1: credit to Lane Kiffen into his coaching staff. Man they

1086
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 1: I'm telling you inside the industry, there are a lot

1087
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:22,719
Speaker 1: of people doubting them. A lot of people watched the

1088
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:26,800
Speaker 1: assistant coaches that walked out the door for ole Miss

1089
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 1: and they were telling you anybody who would listen behind

1090
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:33,319
Speaker 1: the scenes, Kiffin's not the real straw that stirs the drink. There.

1091
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:35,840
Speaker 1: Those assistants were, and they're gone, and now they're going

1092
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:40,800
Speaker 1: to suffer because of that. I would say defense, special teams,

1093
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:44,920
Speaker 1: and offense in that order won this game for them yesterday.

1094
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:48,239
Speaker 1: I want you to think about that. What's the reputation

1095
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:50,960
Speaker 1: for ol Miss. The reputation you probably think of is

1096
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:53,719
Speaker 1: they outscore people. That's not the way they're playing, that's

1097
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 1: not the way they're winning. They're five to zero because

1098
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:59,760
Speaker 1: they consistently won the battle of field position yesterday. Defense

1099
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:04,480
Speaker 1: up big time multiple times, and offense did enough. If

1100
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 1: offense is what I'm waiting to come around on a

1101
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:09,360
Speaker 1: lame Kiffin coach team, I think they're pretty good. I

1102
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 1: think they're in a pretty good position. It was a

1103
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:14,440
Speaker 1: great day yesterday. Gave out a ton of Academy gift cards.

1104
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:17,000
Speaker 1: I got called. I was on the sideline. Someone called

1105
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:20,839
Speaker 1: my name and did this, which means gift card. So

1106
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 1: I walk over there. I give the guy a gift

1107
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 1: card and he what do you think? He made one request?

1108
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 1: What do you think his request was? His request was

1109
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:31,920
Speaker 1: you need to give Northwestern some more love. Northwestern does

1110
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:36,320
Speaker 1: not give enough respect on the show. And I'm like, okay,

1111
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 1: have a good day, man. I don't what do I say?

1112
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:41,400
Speaker 1: What do I say? But gave away a ton of

1113
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:44,879
Speaker 1: Academy gift cards. Food was great, We could have gone

1114
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 1: to any tailgate we wanted to. Atmosphere was great, the

1115
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:51,440
Speaker 1: hospitality overwhelming. Weather couldn't have dialed it up any better.

1116
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:54,480
Speaker 1: Brad and the folks at Ole, Miss took care of us.

1117
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 1: First class organization over there all the way. And it

1118
00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 1: was my first time there, so I know a lot

1119
00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:00,759
Speaker 1: of people didn't like that it was a seven or

1120
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:03,440
Speaker 1: eleven am kickoff. I loved it because I was back

1121
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:06,399
Speaker 1: here by seven pm last night. But really good time.

1122
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 1: Everything they say about Oxford is true except for the

1123
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:12,360
Speaker 1: State fans, and they have good reason to not say it.

1124
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 1: But I absolutely loved our time there. We will be

1125
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 1: back all right. Some other games. I just wanted to

1126
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 1: mention these here or else I'll get accused of not

1127
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 1: mentioning them. Kansas is undefeated. They beat us US being

1128
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:28,400
Speaker 1: Iowa State yesterday fourteen to eleven. Iowa State missed three

1129
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:30,360
Speaker 1: field goals in this game, which, as you can see,

1130
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 1: mathematically decided. Kansas held Iowa State to twenty six yards rushing.

1131
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 1: Iowa State invested thirty carries in this game plan and

1132
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:44,200
Speaker 1: it amounted to twenty six yards total, so less than

1133
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 1: one yard per carry. No point zero. Kansas is five

1134
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 1: and oh they host TCU this Wait wait, wait, do

1135
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:54,920
Speaker 1: I have that right, Jesse? I think TCU this weekend?

1136
00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:58,959
Speaker 1: Check on that for me. Kansas, Yes, TCU this weekend

1137
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 1: college game day. There By the way, I mean say

1138
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:04,360
Speaker 1: that out loud. Who would have predicted that unless it

1139
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:07,439
Speaker 1: was one of those special benefit kindness of our heart

1140
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 1: type things that they do sometimes. No, Kansas earned this

1141
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 1: one the hard way. Texas beat West Virginia thirty eight

1142
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 1: to twenty. Look, this is off everyone's radar. I was

1143
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:19,800
Speaker 1: ultra impressed by this. I thought it was a vulnerable

1144
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 1: spot for Texas defense was on the field one hundred

1145
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 1: plays the week before, and I thought it was imperative

1146
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:26,840
Speaker 1: they got off to a fast start. And they did.

1147
00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 1: They were up like twenty four, twenty eight to nothing,

1148
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:31,520
Speaker 1: something like that. So they got out to a big lead.

1149
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:35,320
Speaker 1: West Virginia was averaging over two hundred yards rushing per

1150
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 1: game and they got sixty one yesterday. So Texas defense, man,

1151
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 1: I can't I cannot compliment them enough. I don't care

1152
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 1: how little you respect West Virginia, if you're a if

1153
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:49,760
Speaker 1: you're a fan. This was not an easy spot. They're

1154
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 1: coming off the loss on the road, they got Oklahoma

1155
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 1: coming up. Quinn Ewers did not start, did not play

1156
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:56,320
Speaker 1: in this game, and yet Hudson card twenty one to

1157
00:58:56,320 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 1: twenty seven, three to zero three through the year, three touchdowns,

1158
00:58:59,880 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 1: no interceptions. This will not be a game they talk

1159
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:04,200
Speaker 1: about at the end of the year. This was a

1160
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:07,200
Speaker 1: huge game for Texas. Don't overlook how big this was.

1161
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 1: And now they go into Red River they are favored

1162
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 1: by five or six. I got a buddy named Stanley

1163
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 1: who thinks they'll be a ten point favorite by kickoff.

1164
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:18,440
Speaker 1: I do not endorse that sentiment, but they're solidly favored,

1165
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 1: and they should be for a reason. What about Michigan

1166
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 1: and Iowa. Yesterday Michigan scored. This is a padlock stat.

1167
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:28,120
Speaker 1: As it turns out, Michigan scored on four of their

1168
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:31,560
Speaker 1: five opening possessions against Iowa. That's going to be enough.

1169
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 1: So they scored in every quarter. That also, even if

1170
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 1: it's just field goals, which it wasn't. But even if

1171
00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:40,080
Speaker 1: it was just field goals, knowing how limited Iowa is,

1172
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:42,920
Speaker 1: that very well could have been a padlock's stat. Iowa

1173
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 1: had now the past three games against Michigan twenty points combined.

1174
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 1: It's been tough. Admittedly it's been tough. Michigan goes to

1175
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 1: Indiana this week. They open it's about a three touchdown favorite.

1176
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State beats Baylor thirty six twenty five. I was

1177
00:59:57,760 --> 01:00:01,120
Speaker 1: a little mad at myself. Takes Baylor to win the game,

1178
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:04,120
Speaker 1: little man at myself, that even though I was aware

1179
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:06,640
Speaker 1: of the situational dynamics, and even though I mentioned them

1180
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:10,440
Speaker 1: on the show last week, I think I underestimated the

1181
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 1: value of Oklahoma State having a bye week and Baylor

1182
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:16,960
Speaker 1: coming off a road trip. I don't think that's the

1183
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:19,360
Speaker 1: reason they lost. I'm saying I think I underestimated it.

1184
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 1: But Oklahoma State special team's huge in this game. They

1185
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 1: constantly working with short fields. It seemed like blake shape

1186
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:33,240
Speaker 1: and costly interceptions. Couple of costly interceptions. Oklahoma State is

1187
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:36,400
Speaker 1: four and oh now, okay, here are their next games.

1188
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:39,120
Speaker 1: They got Texas Tech. This week, they go to TCU

1189
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:42,200
Speaker 1: and they got Texas, which is it's just kind of

1190
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:45,600
Speaker 1: indicative of what the Big Twelve is right now. Every game.

1191
01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 1: Look at the rest of their schedule. Listen to this

1192
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:52,200
Speaker 1: Texas Tech, TCU, Texas, Kansas State, Kansas, Iowa State, Oklahoma.

1193
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:55,720
Speaker 1: Every one of them feels like a knife fight, because

1194
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 1: that's the Big Twelve this year. We told you in

1195
01:00:57,720 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 1: the preseason, most entertaining conference in America this year, even

1196
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:04,680
Speaker 1: I'm underestimated how evenly matched the entire conference would be.

1197
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:09,040
Speaker 1: Here's a big shout out that has deserved. Wake Forest

1198
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:12,600
Speaker 1: went into Tallahassee yesterday and they beat FSU thirty one

1199
01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:15,760
Speaker 1: to twenty one. They were coming off a back breaking

1200
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 1: loss against Clemson in overtime, and I thought it was

1201
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:23,840
Speaker 1: a horrific spot for them to have to go on

1202
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:27,320
Speaker 1: the road and face a red hot FSU team and

1203
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:29,360
Speaker 1: they win the thing thirty one to twenty one. There

1204
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 1: was no luck, there was no fluke about it. They

1205
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:35,640
Speaker 1: led it early. Twenty eight first downs, by the way

1206
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 1: for Wake Forest. They were ten of eighteen on third down,

1207
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 1: three of three on fourth down. They led twenty one

1208
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:43,040
Speaker 1: to seven at the half. They just they just owned

1209
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:46,600
Speaker 1: the game. They controlled the game. They bounced back and

1210
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:48,560
Speaker 1: it was impressive because I didn't know if they had

1211
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:52,320
Speaker 1: it in them, and they did it. And now they

1212
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 1: keep themselves within reaching distance of Clemson. Of course, Clubs's

1213
01:01:57,560 --> 01:01:58,760
Speaker 1: got the game in half lead on them, but they

1214
01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:01,280
Speaker 1: keep themselves within reach. It's a big game this week

1215
01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:05,000
Speaker 1: for FSU. Got a lot of positive energy around the program.

1216
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:09,040
Speaker 1: They go to NC State, so basically Florida State just

1217
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:12,160
Speaker 1: keeps drawing the teams that Clemson just beat. Clemson beats

1218
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 1: wake they get them, Wake wins, Clemson beats n C State,

1219
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:19,560
Speaker 1: They get them. We'll see future hasn't been written yet.

1220
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:23,080
Speaker 1: I wanted to go back to Friday night. Ucla was

1221
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:25,320
Speaker 1: pretty impressive. Now, I don't think a lot of you

1222
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:29,520
Speaker 1: are watching them. Pretty impressive they I mean, Washington scored

1223
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:32,120
Speaker 1: sixteen late points in that game. Forty to thirty two

1224
01:02:32,200 --> 01:02:36,240
Speaker 1: was the final UCLA handled them. Washington had one hundred

1225
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:38,440
Speaker 1: yards and penalties of a minus two turnovers, but man

1226
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:40,800
Speaker 1: Ucla was ten to fourteen on third down. You know

1227
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:43,400
Speaker 1: who they played this week? Huge game on the West Coast.

1228
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:46,480
Speaker 1: They host Utah this week. And I know a lot

1229
01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:49,800
Speaker 1: of folks who are watching the Pac twelve from a distance,

1230
01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:54,440
Speaker 1: they just keep asking when does USC play Utah? When

1231
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:57,200
Speaker 1: does Oregon play Washington? Need to be paying attention to

1232
01:02:57,280 --> 01:03:01,400
Speaker 1: UCLA hosting Utah this week. They are five and oh.

1233
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:05,000
Speaker 1: Ucla five and oh said in the preseason one of

1234
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:08,760
Speaker 1: the biggest pressure situations this year was Chip Kelly because

1235
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:10,920
Speaker 1: of all the transition on the West Coast. Chip Kelly's

1236
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:13,680
Speaker 1: got a veteran quarterback, He's probably got his best team

1237
01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:16,920
Speaker 1: that he's had at UCLA. You got new staffs at

1238
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 1: Oregon and Washington and USC. If you're ever going to

1239
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:24,040
Speaker 1: strike this is the year. This is the time. They're

1240
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:28,160
Speaker 1: taking advantage of it so far. And Oregon yesterday beat

1241
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:30,960
Speaker 1: Stanford forty five to twenty seven. Bow Knicks. This is

1242
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:34,160
Speaker 1: such a classic bow Knicks line one sixty one passing,

1243
01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 1: one forty one rushing. They're four and one. Now you're

1244
01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:40,560
Speaker 1: not going to be able to take away the Georgia

1245
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:44,280
Speaker 1: blemish in Week one. But that wasn't a Pac twelve game.

1246
01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:46,680
Speaker 1: They still have all their goals in front of them

1247
01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:49,600
Speaker 1: out there. They had nine point five yards per carry

1248
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 1: yesterday against Stanford. They ran it thirty seven times for

1249
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:58,400
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty one yards, So that is the

1250
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:04,080
Speaker 1: equivalent I think roughly, let me think, yeah, yeah, Eugene

1251
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:07,480
Speaker 1: to Portland probably about that long. They ran it for

1252
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:12,240
Speaker 1: half a mile on Stanford yesterday. Also, I wanted to mention,

1253
01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:15,560
Speaker 1: you know, we did not have a good feeling about

1254
01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:18,920
Speaker 1: Oregon State's chances at Utah yesterday, and we were right.

1255
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 1: It was a blowout situationally, you know that spot Oregon

1256
01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:26,160
Speaker 1: State going to Utah. I felt the same about that

1257
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:28,480
Speaker 1: one as I did Wake going to Florida State. Thought

1258
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:30,680
Speaker 1: the home team was gonna win in a route in

1259
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:33,200
Speaker 1: both spots and we were only one for two. Oregon

1260
01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:35,640
Speaker 1: State did fall. It was just a bad dynamic spot form.

1261
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:39,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes those pop up and there's no point spread that

1262
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:42,760
Speaker 1: can account for it. All right, let's get you some

1263
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:45,360
Speaker 1: early best bets here. Feel good about two games. Moving on,

1264
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 1: Buffalo plus two. They're at Bowling Green and they're wasting

1265
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:51,800
Speaker 1: no time here. Buffalo plus two at Bowling Green and

1266
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:56,200
Speaker 1: Louisville minus four and a half at Virginia. You know

1267
01:04:57,400 --> 01:05:00,000
Speaker 1: this has nothing to do with us being on Virginia yesterday,

1268
01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 1: But I'd be lying if I didn't say I'm holding

1269
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:06,439
Speaker 1: a grudge against the Virginia football program for what they

1270
01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:11,600
Speaker 1: didn't do against Duke yesterday. I feel bad for myself

1271
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:14,960
Speaker 1: and I just feel anger towards Virginia. But on a

1272
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:17,640
Speaker 1: totally unrelated note, the model just likes Louisville to win

1273
01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 1: by like nine or ten I think this week. So

1274
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:24,040
Speaker 1: Louisville minus four and a half Buffalo plus two. Okay,

1275
01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:25,680
Speaker 1: I know it seemed like a long show, but we

1276
01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:27,320
Speaker 1: probably got an hour and a half show in at

1277
01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:30,560
Speaker 1: about an hour and five because the Braves could sweep

1278
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:33,920
Speaker 1: the Mets tonight and we have got big, big dealings

1279
01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:35,480
Speaker 1: happening in the nlast right now, So I gotta go

1280
01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:37,000
Speaker 1: get in this monitor out here and watch the rest

1281
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:38,800
