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

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: a man, I'm forty. I've heard so many players say, well,

3
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 1: I want to be happy. You want to be happy

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: for day Edith State? Is that Woo whoo? And them

5
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: and tie.

6
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,799
Speaker 2: Dan Rubinstein. Week six is all about brasiliency, is it not?

7
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: I think so? That's my opinion. Do we have a

8
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: name for this Saturday? Yes we do so. I was

9
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 1: going through the number of teams, the sheer number of

10
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: teams that are looking to erase last week from their minds,

11
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: either for positive ways or positive things or negative things.

12
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: And I mean the list that I have in front

13
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: of me, And this is probably just scratching the surface.

14
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: Ole Miss Notre Dame, LSU, UCLA, Georgia, Iowa, Colorado, Arkansas,

15
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: Iowa State, USC for various reasons, they want to shed

16
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: some of the elements of Week five and are looking

17
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: to bounce back in a big way. So I have

18
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: it as super Ball Saturday.

19
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 2: Super Ball Man, he used to love Super Bowls back

20
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 2: in the day.

21
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: Absolutely, what's better than a super ball tie? And I'll

22
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: tell you this, anything that doesn't cause and rekavoc all

23
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: over your home. A little kid throws it, and it

24
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: ends up in somebody's mouth when it ends up in

25
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: a pot of pasta that's cooking whatever, it rereaks havoc.

26
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: But it's also delightful. And that's sort of a comparison

27
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: and analogy in some ways for college football. So I'm

28
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: great with it. I love it well.

29
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,880

00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,600

00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 2: it's now b October? Officially, we did decide. This was

92
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,680

93
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: like oh Dan won the switch that the solid verbal

94
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,560

Speaker 2: off neutral site game Texas State Fair against their hated

117

Speaker 2: now SEC soon to be SEC rival, the Oklahoma Sooners.

118
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 2: A few things that I will add right out of

119
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 2: the shoot. In the last ten count of ten meetings

120
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,119
Speaker 2: in this game, it has been a one score game

121
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 2: exactly eight times.

122
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: Okay, I was gonna say, I know it was not

123
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: last year. That last year, No, no, like forty nine

124
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: nothing or something.

125
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, five years ago it was Oklahoma winning by twelve.

126
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 2: And then last year it was the biggest defeat in

127
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 2: the history of the entire series when Texas beat Oklahoma

128
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 2: forty nine to zip. So everybody out there watching this video,

129
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 2: listening to this podcast, everybody out there, I want you

130
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 2: to shotgun a beer. Shotgun a beverage of your choosing

131
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 2: every time the announcers say that boyded Oklahoma have this

132
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 2: one circled in the locker room. It's been hanging on

133
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 2: the bulletin board for the last year. They've had this

134
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 2: one circled. It's been on their radar for the last year.

135
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 2: To get revenge on Texas.

136
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: Dam Yeah, i'd say you have to throw the records out,

137
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: but they have the same records, do they not? They

138
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: already to gain each other. Yes, so include the records

139
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: because they are indicators of success this year for Texas

140
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: and Oklahoma. Now, this game is going to be fascinating.

141
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: I honestly, I think it's quin Yours. I have very

142
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: little questions in the way of what Texas is up

143
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: front on both sides of the ball. I like what

144
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: Jonathan Brooks is doing in the backfield. They're running the ball,

145
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: which I think is a lot smarter. I think it's

146
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: a smarter Texas. I would never really question their defense

147
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: coming into the season, but the question was going to

148
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: be in higher leverage moments and second halves, what does

149
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: this offense look like? And so to me, it is

150
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: quin Yours confidence and we have what J T. Sanders

151
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: Datavian Sanders is questionable, was beat up last week. Also

152
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: a starting corner. I think Ryan Watts for Texas is

153
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: questionable in this one. He got hurt last week and

154
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: so I don't know. I think there's enough depth in

155
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: that secondary. I think the pass rush is going to

156
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: be good to very good for Texas all season long.

157
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: So once again, it's quin Yewers in rhythm with Ady,

158
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: Mitchell's Xavier Worthy, whoever? Jordan Wittington? And is this Oklahoma

159
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: defense somewhere far far away from where they were in

160
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 1: this matchup last year? And so I really do think

161
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: because I think Oklahoma is good but untested, and so

162
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: I have this as Texas goes as far as Quinn yours,

163
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: which is not a bold take, but I think there

164
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: are too many questions answered otherwise that it's just going

165
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: to come down to second half offense. Have they really

166
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: turned a corner? Is Quin?

167
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:49,599
Speaker 4: You?

168
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: Weres as confident as ever because they did have some

169
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: sluggish moments last week against Kansas. And on the Oklahoma side,

170
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: it is their first real team, all due respect to

171
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: what SMU and Cincinnati and Iowa State these are. You know,

172
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: they're real teams, but not on this level. And we

173
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: finally get to open the page on what Oklahoma is

174
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: this year.

175
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 2: To me, I don't have a strong leand here I don't.

176
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: It's a rivalry. I think I like Texas more. I

177
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: picked them in my playoff.

178
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 2: So I have seen nothing so far that has persuaded me.

179
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 2: Otherwise They've looked really, really solid. There is something about

180
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 2: Oklahoma this year. We talked to it a little bit

181
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 2: on the last episode that weirds me out, even though

182
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 2: most of the numbers are improved over last year, especially

183
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 2: on the defensive side of the ball. According to the

184
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 2: sp Plus, this is a top twenty defense through the

185
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 2: first five weeks of the season now, which is a

186
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 2: full thirty eight spots higher than they finished last year.

187
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 2: I like Texas in this game for three specific reasons

188
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 2: talk to The first is the play calling on the

189
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 2: Oklahoma side. It has been strange this season, and I

190
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 2: alluded to this a couple episodes ago when I put

191
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 2: a call out on Twitter asking Oklahoma fans, can you

192
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 2: tell me what you think of this Sooners team? This

193
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 2: version of the Sooners team. My sense is that there

194
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 2: has been some confusion as to what they're doing on

195
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 2: offense and what this identity is. What I see from

196
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 2: a number standpoint is that it's pretty much all on

197
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 2: Dylan Gabriel, and I like Dylan Gabriel. I just like

198
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 2: it more if there were balance, especially in a big game.

199
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm splitting hairs, but that bit of what I've

200
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 2: seen so far concerns me. Again not against top flight competition.

201
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 2: Perhaps that will change when the rubber really meets the

202
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 2: Road in the Red River rivalry. The second thing is,

203
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 2: for as much as I do agree that the defense

204
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 2: is improved, the tackling is still very suspect. I don't

205
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 2: know if you've had a chance to look at any

206
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 2: of the tackling success numbers for Oklahoma. This is like

207
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 2: really deep in the minutia here, but eighty third and

208
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 2: tackle success rate for the season. I love looking at

209
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 2: the stat for big games. I love looking at it

210
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 2: in a big game, especially when you're going up against

211
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 2: an offense like Texas, which we know can throw the

212
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 2: ball and is now gradually run the ball a little

213
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 2: bit more effective.

214
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: Do you know who number one is, by the way

215
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: in tackling success, right? Is it Texas? It's Rutgers And

216
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: they didn't tackle Michigan a ton. So whatever way you

217
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: put in that in a big game, that's all. I guess.

218
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: It's probably if you're not a good tackling team, that

219
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: can be troublesome. But I don't know, we'll see.

220
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 2: The other thing is, and this is my final point

221
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 2: on this, Oklahoma is not blitzing a ton and they're

222
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 2: still creating an average amount of pressure, but they're not

223
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 2: getting home they're not sacking the quarterback. The sack rates

224
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 2: are very low, and I think they need to try

225
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 2: and get in Quinn eu Were's face. They can't give

226
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 2: him time to pick a spots out there, because if

227
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 2: they do, they've got enough weaponry. You know, I could

228
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 2: sit here and list guys. I'm not going to do that.

229
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 2: There are more than enough talented guys out wide that

230
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 2: can make Oklahoma pay. I think this is a fun game.

231
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 2: I think the Red River Shootouts always a fun game.

232
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 2: My pick is thirty eight to thirty Texas.

233
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. I have let me verify here, but I'm almost

234
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: positive I have Oklahoma covering in this game. And I

235
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: don't know why, but it's the feeling that I get

236
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: that it's just gonna be a super tight back and forth.

237
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: The actual worry for me for Texas, by the way,

238
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 1: not just quinn yours. It's Burt Auburn. Their kicker has

239
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: been off thus far. So if it is back and forth,

240
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: if it is tight, if it's not just you know,

241
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: if you do have to bring a field goal to

242
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: a touchdown party, I don't know. I don't know about

243
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: Texas in that spot. So I'm actually gonna go I

244
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 1: don't know why I'm talking to myself in Oklahoma, but

245
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: I'm talking to myself in Oklahoma. I'm gonna take the

246
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 1: points in this one. I think it's going to be very,

247
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 1: very close. I think Texas ekes it out by four.

248
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 1: I think I have Texas thirty one to twenty seven.

249
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 2: Oklahoma covers if for no other reason, take Oklahoma because

250
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 2: I took Texas.

251
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 1: Yeah.

252
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 2: Absolutely, that has been the trend here in the early

253
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 2: part of the season. So good onya, good onya, go

254
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 2: to Big Dog number two. This one brought to you

255
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 2: by the Reaver Blind at eight five y five verbal three.

256
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 2: Give us a call. As you're watching all of these

257
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 2: games in real time, give us that real time reaction.

258
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 2: Come on to the voicemail line and emote and we

259

Speaker 1: Saturday night time.

263
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 2: That's right, I'm I'm back. Love that saxophone. That's me

264
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 2: playing the saxophone.

265
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: If you know that, wail, tie you wail.

266
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 2: Three PM, Pac twelve Network, Washington State at UCLA. UCLA

267
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 2: favored by three and a half points. You're the Pac

268
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 2: twelve afficionado. You're the one who called me a silly

269
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 2: little butterfly when I bet against Wazoo two weeks ago.

270
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm gonna let.

271
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 2: You go first. The floor is yours, mister Pac twelve.

272
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 2: What do you have to say about this one?

273
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: All right? You said four points three and a half

274
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: points three and a half.

275
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 2: Bit since since I made the doctors?

276
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, trickle down? Okay, So I still like UCLA here.

277
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,359
Speaker 1: I'm not sure why exactly it trickled down. But UCLA

278
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: against no offense? Is this year really no good quarterbacks?

279
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: All due respect to whatever Coastal's offense is going to

280
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: look like. All year with Grays and McCall has been

281
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: quite good. They've taken care of business on defense, which

282
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: is a very nice step forward from where they've been

283
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: these last few years. I think it's going to be quiet.

284
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: I think Wazoo is going to be sluggish. I think

285
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: UCLA away from Home is a different animal. You know,

286
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: Dante Moore throwing into a dangerous defense worries me. I

287
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: don't think Wazoo's defense is all that dangerous. I think

288
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: this should set up nicely for a fun win, not

289
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: nearly as fun as it was. I think it was

290
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen when the UCLA held on sixty seven sixty

291
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: three in Pullman against the Mike. Do you remember that game?

292
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: That was it? That was dtr I believe, yeah, because

293
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: he's was their quarterback for thirteen consecutive seasons until this

294
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: one we have right now. So I do think it's

295
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: going to be fun. But I think UCLA has the edge.

296
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: I think they should be able to run the ball

297
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: pretty consistently against Wazoo. And I still think Wazoo's a

298
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: good team. I think this is a tough matchup. I'm

299
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: gonna go with UCLA to win this one thirty to

300
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: twenty one. Thirty to twenty one. Yeah, that'd be a

301
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: great game. Yeah, it'd be really fun. That's where I

302
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: have this, especially like I could see Wazoo starting very

303
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: slowly and clawing back into this game. So if you

304
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: feel good about UCLA, maybe even like the first quarter

305
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: or first half number is interesting to you. So I

306
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: don't know. I think it's gonna be a quiet Ucla day,

307
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: and I mean, like stadium wise, it generally is unless

308
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: it's like an enormous opponent. So yeah, I'm going Bruins here.

309
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 2: I don't have an angle here, I don't have deep insight.

310
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 2: I love what done this season, and somebody asked us

311
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 2: on Patreon what we got wrong in our preseason picks.

312
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 2: I don't think I gave enough love to Wazoo, and

313
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 2: I think that's obvious now. I think we are still

314
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 2: sort of selling the Cougar short. They have an axe

315
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 2: to grind given the fact that they were left out

316
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 2: of these new Grand Conference plans, as is true I

317
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 2: think for Oregon State as well. I don't think that

318
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 2: should be overlooked. I think what a coach can do,

319
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 2: a good coach can do and use that as a

320
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 2: motivating factor us against the world.

321
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: There's real power there, and so I give it unless

322
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: you don't have good players on defense at every position,

323
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: which I don't think Wazoo does. Damn, I think a

324
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: pretty good team. Yeah.

325
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 2: I'm stuck though, on this offense being built entirely out

326
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 2: of cam Ward. And this is speaking as the foremost

327
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 2: president and authority on all things cam Ward circa twenty

328
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 2: twenty two. Yeah, I love them last year before it

329
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 2: was cool and one of the stats that I noted

330
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 2: last year and I know it again in this game.

331
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 2: Is cam Ward on the road last year was a

332
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 2: full twelve point slower in terms of completion percentage. He

333
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 2: was not the same quarterback correct last year. Different offense, granted,

334
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 2: but he wasn't the same player. And this is their

335
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 2: first really big road spot. They haven't done much on

336
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 2: the road at all this season. I think Ucile wins

337
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 2: twenty eight twenty one.

338
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: So I think I'm with you, okay, right there with me,

339
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: all right. I think I think we agreed.

340
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 2: Also, I should note that I did ask you in

341
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 2: advance what your pick was, and I decided to just

342
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 2: side with you sight unseen, if only because you're pretty

343
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 2: good jinxing. You would make me feel better about myself. Okay,

344
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna lock it up later, maybe not a

345
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 2: full lock, but I'm going to include it in my

346
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 2: pick segment later just to jinx you.

347
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: I love that. Thank you. Let's move on. Let's go

348
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: to another big dog here.

349
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 2: Three thirty CBS, Alabama minus two, two and a half,

350
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 2: two and a half on the road at Texas. A

351
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 2: and M.

352
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, so okay, So for A and M, this might

353
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: be a Super Bowl situation where you got to just

354
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: forget how good you were those final three quarters against Arkansas,

355
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: and that's always like a weird game, even though Texas

356
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: A and M largely wins that game. I think I'm okay.

357
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: So this is what it comes down to for me.

358
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: Is it a benefit of the doubts season? For you?

359
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: Are you just going to give Nick Saban carte blanche,

360
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: You're gonna give Kirby Smart carte blanche, You're gonna give

361
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: rian A carte blanche? Right? Or are you going to

362
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 1: look at this year's squad as its own, living, breathing thing,

363
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: separate from where some of those power teams have been.

364
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 2: Well, So let me pause you because this is an

365
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 2: interesting point. It is I think we have to start

366
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 2: the discussion around this whole notion that these are programs

367
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 2: in decline, because there seems to be a narrative out

368
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 2: there that the one two punch for A and M

369
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 2: losing to Miami and then losing their quarterback is going

370
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 2: to knock them down and out, and that it makes

371
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 2: it It certainly makes it easier to poke fun at Jimbo.

372
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 2: Everybody likes doing that anyway. And likewise, on the Bama side,

373
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 2: the loss to Texas, the weird quarterback situation that culminated,

374
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 2: I think with the USF game, but has persisted throughout

375
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 2: the year. That has also made it easy to question

376
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 2: Alabama and Nick Saban and Tommy Reese and it all

377
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 2: sort of happens in its own space, totally separate from

378
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 2: the fact that if you project out these teams the

379
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 2: rest of the year, BAMA projects as a one loss

380
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 2: team and A and M projects is a two loss team.

381
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: They're still there are very good teams. It's also a

382
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 1: situation where we know everything that's happening around them more now, right,

383
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 1: we know about Tennessee not throwing the ball as well

384
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: this year. We know about LSU's defense being disappointing. So

385
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: we know what the rest of Alabama's schedule, what Texas

386
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,959
Speaker 1: A and M schedule looks like, Which also makes that

387
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: fascinating because that helps us to recalibrate expectations externally.

388
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 2: Let me start this conversation then with a different starting

389
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 2: point than maybe you expected. Okay, who is the better

390
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 2: quarterback in this matchup? So how would you define that? Well,

391
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 2: it's Jalen Milroe and his obvious slate of physical tools. Yeah,

392
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 2: and it's Max Johnson and his I guess obvious experience

393
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 2: and some of the flashes that we've seen from him.

394
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 2: I think we know what the ceiling is for Max Johnson,

395
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 2: but we also know where the floor is. So with

396
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 2: that in mind, you can define it however you want,

397
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 2: because I know your rubric is often quarterback and defense.

398
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 2: Which of these two schools has a better quarterback at

399
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 2: the moment?

400
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 1: I think right now it's Alabama. Okay, I think the

401
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 1: best of Jalen Milroe makes him the better quarterback. Now

402
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: we can talk about the inconsistencies, but we can talk

403
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: about the inconsistencies for both that they both hold on

404
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: to the ball too long. I don't like Max Johnson's

405
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: arm all that much, and so that sets him back

406
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: for me start of the year as a backup for

407
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 1: a reason. So I'm going to go with Milroe being

408
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: the better quarterback. But I'm also gonna go with my

409
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: belief system here. My belief system is, if you're giving

410
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: me a home dog with a great crowd and what

411
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: appears to be, if not totally mostly a great defense,

412
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: especially upfront, a Texas A and M defensive line that's

413
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: been overwhelming. Teams upfront win or lose the past version

414
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: wasn't there against Miami. I don't think Alabama's line is

415
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: where Miami's offensive line is at the moment until proven otherwise. Woh,

416
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 1: Alabama's line has not been good this year and Miami

417
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: has gotten a lot out of their offensive line so far.

418
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: So I'm going to A and M here. I'm going

419
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: A and M because I think, I mean, I know,

420
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 1: I have questions about both of these quarterbacks. Alabama on

421
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 1: the road Jalen Milroe with the hostile crowd he is.

422
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: We talked about this earlier in the week on our

423
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 1: Monday Show or maybe last week, where it's just like

424
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: any give and play. Jalen Molroe is one of five

425
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 1: different quarterbacks and on the road in Kyle Field. What

426
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 1: time is this game? I think it's the three thirty

427
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: third game.

428
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 2: Three thirty Eastern game. This game is on CBS.

429
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: I just I'm gonna go with A Nia Smith. I'm

430
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: gonna go with Evan Stewart. I don't love A and

431
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: m's offensive line. But if you give me a decent quarterback,

432
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: which is what I think Max Johnson is, plus a

433
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 1: very very good defense, plus very specific weaknesses from Alabama,

434
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: I'm still not buying the receiving core. I'm not buying

435
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: the offensive line and making great decisions for four quarters

436
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: in a tough place to play in Jalen Molroe, I'm

437
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: not there yet. I'm just not so. I'm well with

438
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 1: my belief system. I'm underthinking it. I'm once again the

439
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,719
Speaker 1: engineer on the underthink express tie home dog with a

440
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: with a very strong defense is good enough for me.

441
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 2: I have a serious mental block.

442
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 1: I know you need to take this away. You need

443
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 1: to make these two teams identity lists. I know, right,

444
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: I know, I know you need to do kind of

445
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: the blind, nameless faceless. Yes, I can't, though I can't.

446
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,199
Speaker 2: I have a mental block picking against Alabama, and I

447
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 2: just don't think it's something I can do. Okakay, even

448
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 2: in a year like this, when they're not as good

449
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 2: as usual and you know, like on the heels of

450
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 2: that conversation about these probably aren't teams in decline, they

451
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 2: still project out as very very good teams the rest

452
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 2: of the way. However, Alabama's not as good this year

453
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 2: as they've been. They're just not They're not as good

454
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 2: as they've been. And that's okay, because they've been amazing.

455
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 2: They've been a dynasty. There's still probably a.

456
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 1: Dynasty, but they're not as good, and I think.

457
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 2: That's an objective statement at this point.

458
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: Look, I don't love A and M. I don't love

459
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: Jimbo in a big game. I don't love the trend

460
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: of his making very conservative calls and playing field position

461
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 1: and like going away from what's working all too often.

462
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: I have all that baggage in my brain right now

463
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: with picking Texas A and M. But at the same time,

464
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: I'm trying to do my best job in positioning these

465
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: teams as unique to the year, and I think that

466
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 1: is especially true this year. And I've liked enough of

467
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: what I've seen that I can say the best thing

468
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: in this game to me seems to be the A

469
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: and M defensive line, and that matters to me at home.

470
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: So I think they can force Jalen. We've seen, like

471
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 1: pretty often inconsistently, Jalen Milroe make completely boneheaded throws costume

472
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 1: against Texas. Some hasn't at other times, So I just

473
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm I'm going with A and M,

474
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: going with defense at home as a home dog again

475
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: belief system.

476
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 2: I'm going to go back to my tackling stat Okay,

477
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 2: I'm going to go back to my tackling status always

478
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 2: the stat that I cherry picked this week that seemed

479
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 2: to work for all of my narratives.

480
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: Thank you, of course.

481
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,719
Speaker 2: A and M's tackling A M's tackling I think is

482
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 2: something to watch here because if we are to take

483
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 2: anything away from what Bama did last week, Bama could

484
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 2: be fully steering into bully bit now. Because Jalen Milroe

485
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 2: only threw at twelve times. He was ten of twelve

486
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 2: a week ago against Mississippi State. It's a lot on

487
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 2: the ground and I think that tackle success number could

488
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 2: play a big role if Bama fully goes bullyball. If

489
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 2: they fully go bullyball like we know Tommy Reese wanted

490
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 2: to every year he was at Notre Dame and maybe

491
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 2: now when he's at Alabama, if they go full bullyball,

492
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 2: I think the tackle thing is something to watch. I

493
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 2: am extremely torn here. I think A and M has

494
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 2: improved a lot since Miami. I don't think we've talked

495
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 2: nearly enough how much better they have go out. Everybody's

496
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 2: been trained in on the quarterback situation and what's going

497
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,479
Speaker 2: on there and what's the offense A and M has

498
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,479
Speaker 2: got a lot better since week two, and that is

499
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 2: despite losing Connor Wegman. So I really wanted to go

500
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 2: with A and M here, I wanted to side with you.

501
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 2: I am going to go Alabama thirty five twenty four.

502
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 2: I really like the over forty eight and a half

503
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 2: more than I like anything else in this game. I

504
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 2: think there will be points here.

505
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 1: So that give that a look.

506
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 2: If you can trust me at all, forty eight and

507
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 2: a half feels like a low number in a game

508
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 2: like this. I'm gonna go with my heart in sal

509
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 2: Alabama again thirty five twenty four.

510
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: Okay, I reserve the right to be the usane bolt

511
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: of flip flopping. If I see Max Johnson hold on

512
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: the ball too long his second throw. Okay, so if

513
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: on his second throw he holds onto the ball too long,

514
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 1: doesn't have like some kind of awareness that an edge

515
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: has beaten the tackle and like sort of pumps and hesitates,

516
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: gets hit as he throws it goes straight up and

517
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 1: then somebody intercepts it. It will be at that point

518
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: if the score is zero zero, it will be at

519
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: that point where I say, no Bama minus anything. Yeah,

520
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: Once I have that I'm a visual learner, tie. Yeah,

521
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: and I need to be reminded sometimes, so I reserve

522
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: the right once again to be the Usain Bolt of

523
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: flip flopping ninety three seconds into this game.

524
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 2: But by the way, if if in the Texas Oklahoma game,

525
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 2: the shotgun your whatever moment is them talking about the

526
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 2: forty nine to nail game from last year being circled

527
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 2: being bulletin board material for Oklahoma. The shotgun moment in

528
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 2: this game is definitely how many times is Brad Nessler

529
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 2: gonna call out the max to Jake Johnson combo the

530
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 2: brother leader of course. Well, he's creative, he's one of

531
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 2: the best. He will find some artful way to bring.

532
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: How many Brad Johnson shots will there be in the crowd? Yeah?

533
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 1: Over under three and a half. The Taylor swift of

534
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 1: this matchup right, the cutaway Queen cutaway, Queen cut away Johnson. Yeah,

535
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: Brad Johnson, We'll stick with Queen. That's fine. Something with

536
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 1: the it's gonna be a big Johnson moment. Let's say that, oh, Tye,

537
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 1: between the super balls and a big Johnson. This is

538
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: going down a road that Look, this is who you are.

539
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: These are the texts I get all the time, all

540
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: hours of the night from you, but I don't think

541
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: it's appropriate for this venue.

542
00:27:58,359 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 2: Time.

543
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 1: Come on, Final Big Dog.

544
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 2: Seven pm ESPN, Kentucky at Georgia. Georgia favored by fourteen

545
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 2: and a half. Uh, I got I got a problem

546
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 2: with Kentucky in this game.

547
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 1: Okay, I got a problem. I think I know this

548
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: is a take, isn't it. I'm waiting for it. I'm

549
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 1: gonna do Kentucky in this game.

550
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was very high on Kentucky coming into this season.

551
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 2: And I gotta say, even though our guy l Ray

552
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 2: as it were, Ray Davis, even though he has been

553
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 2: the certified dude thus far, let's talk about Devon Leary. Okay,

554
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 2: too much to say that he's kind of stunk this year. Now,

555
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 2: I think the whole the whole passing attack in general.

556
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously he is the guy at the center

557
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 2: of it all, but I don't know Liam Collen, Devin Leary,

558
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 2: these receivers, it just it's been extraordinarily a rhythmic thus

559
00:28:55,360 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 2: far for Kentucky. Devin Leary's kind of stunk, yeah, kind

560
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 2: of stopping with the ball.

561
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: The picks have not been great. Yep, twenty four.

562
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 2: To seven had him as the number eight overall transfer,

563
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 2: the number two overall transfer quarterback behind Sam Hartman, who

564
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 2: we love and cherish on this show. His line has

565
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 2: given him time to throw almost exclusively against bad teams,

566
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 2: and still he's got a fifty eight percent completion percentage.

567
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 2: He's got a ten to five touchdown interception ratio. Kentucky

568
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 2: fans can weigh in here and tell me if I'm

569
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 2: not being fair to Devin Leary. Maybe it's something else

570
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 2: on the offense that is leading to those numbers or what.

571
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 2: But it's just it's not been good. It's not been

572
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 2: as good as I thought it was going to be. Yeah,

573
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 2: for Devin Leary, and I was really high on him

574
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 2: in Kentucky again at the start of the season. So

575
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 2: for me, it's a bit of a leap to think

576
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 2: that suddenly, in maybe the biggest game of the year,

577
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 2: he's just gonna improve.

578
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: It is just gonna happen.

579
00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 2: Arguably the best team in the country on the other

580
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 2: side of the field, Suddenly Devin Leary, suddenly, a one

581
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 2: dimensional offense for the first month of the season, is

582
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 2: going to transform into this beast that can beat Georgia.

583
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 2: Even this version of Georgia, Right, So I they're not

584
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 2: he doesn't.

585
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: He doesn't have to win it. He just has to

586
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: cover it for our purposes here.

587
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 2: But yeah, okay, okay, so that's where the conversation goes next.

588
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 2: How do you feel from a confidence standpoint that Kentucky

589
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 2: is good enough with what has been a one dimensional

590
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 2: offense and a very good defense. Don't get me wrong.

591
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:37,479
Speaker 1: Can they cover? Yeah, they can cover, and they just

592
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: seem like they're going to be maybe a better version

593
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: of Auburn. I don't know what that means, because I

594
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: still think Georgia has better games in it in them.

595
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: But if we're if we're going to look at this

596
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: game and season and teams in vacuums, then Georgia may

597
00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: just be good and not great. And we know Kirby

598
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: Smart is capable of building and coaching a great team,

599
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: an all time great team, but maybe this year's specific

600
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: iteration isn't even if they have the players that they

601
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: can go twelve to zero and win a third straight

602
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: national championship. For whatever reason, it's not coming together. I'm

603
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: sure Georgia fans would blame offensive line, would blame the

604
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: secondary and consistencies. Would blame Mike Bobo and play calling,

605
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: you know, not being able to run the ball consistently,

606
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: not generating big plays. I think Kentucky covers this game,

607
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: Liam Cohen, I thought, again, this is outside of the vacuum.

608
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: But two years ago, with a different quarterback and a

609
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: different offense, did a pretty good job leading this Kentucky

610
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: offense down the field repeated times against an outstanding defense.

611
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: They didn't do a ton in terms of keeping the

612
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: game close. But Kentucky has typically played Georgia these past

613
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: couple years pretty tough. So what was the score last year?

614
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: Last year? Did they hold Georgia under twenty? What was

615
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: the final score of last year's game?

616
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 2: I don't have it in front of me, but you're right,

617
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 2: I mean it was they were competitive because of the defense.

618
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was sixteen six last year Georgia over Kentucky.

619
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: Now again that's last year. It's a different team entirely.

620
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: So if you're gonna tell me running and defense, I

621
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: think Kentucky gets after the passer relatively well, and the

622
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: Georgia offensive line has been somewhat disappointing. I think it's

623
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: a nice matchup. I think there's too much for Georgia.

624
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: They have the best player on the field and brock

625
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: bowers to me, but you can zero in on a

626
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: tight end, he'll still get his.

627
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, but if you just make everybody else speach you,

628
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 2: I don't know.

629
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: I'm feeling pretty good about Kentucky keeping it close. I

630
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: have it at twenty three seventeen, Georgia once again winning

631
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: but not being a team that separates from pretty good teams.

632
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 2: Are you thinking a twenty three seventeen game that is

633
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 2: twenty three to ten late and there's a garbage time touchdown?

634
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:48,479
Speaker 2: You think in twenty three seventeen good slugfest all throughout.

635
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: I think Georgia is trying to yell at us and

636
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: tell us that this is who they are. And so okay,

637
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: I don't think twenty three to ten. I think back

638
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: and forth, slugfest ish and ultimately ten wins out and

639
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: playmakers went out and Georgia has more of them, especially

640
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: with how disappointing and inconsistent Kentucky's receivers have been this

641
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: year and Devin Larry.

642
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 2: But I think they can score seventeen points. Yeah, absolutely,

643
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 2: that's really interesting. That's a really interesting point. And I

644
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 2: don't think I disagree. I think I'm with you. I

645
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 2: don't think a one dimensional offense like what we've seen

646
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 2: so far, and again it's a leap for me to

647
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 2: think that that's suddenly going to change, But a one

648
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 2: dimensional offense is not going to beat any version of

649
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 2: Georgia and this defense. So I don't think they're going

650
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 2: to win. They're obviously on the road. That makes it

651
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 2: more difficult, but I agree, I think they can cover.

652
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:37,959
Speaker 2: And that's sort of what I've been debating, what's been

653
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 2: ping ponging back and forth in my head. We saw

654
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 2: what happened to Georgia last week on the road at Auburn.

655
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 2: Kentucky's got a better defense, and if I said something

656
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 2: like twenty seven seventeen, I think that passes the sniff test.

657
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: I really do.

658
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 2: I think Kentucky is good enough even if they're one dimensional,

659
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 2: like so was Auburn. They were good enough to hang

660
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 2: with Georgia to keep that thing close. This was a

661
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 2: close game of year go closer game a year ago,

662
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 2: and I think Kentucky with the strength of its defense,

663
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 2: and as you said, Georgia yelling at us, this is

664
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 2: who we area. Georgia fans aren't exactly thrilled with this

665
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 2: version of the offense in the early going. You know,

666
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 2: maybe this version of Georgia is also something that we

667
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,439
Speaker 2: can't expect to suddenly improve against a better defense, probably

668
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 2: the best defense they've played all year. So I'm gonna

669
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 2: go twenty seven to seventeen. And I also think it's

670
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 2: something that is relatively close throughout.

671
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 1: What time is kickoff in this one, seven pm Eastern? Yeah,

672
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 1: I said, I'm gonna stand by it, but that that's

673
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,399
Speaker 1: that tilts a little more Georgia to me. Okay, that

674
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: they are gonna be They're gonna have a better day, right,

675
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: They're gonna be better prepared. They're not waiting around all

676
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,359
Speaker 1: day in an unfamiliar place. So I still am gonna

677
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: go Kentucky to cover here. I stand by it.

678
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 2: All that is fair enough. I'm gonna stick with you.

679
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 2: We agree again.

680
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: Boy, this is bad news for you.

681
00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 3: It is.

682
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 2: Let's go to our ear slate, Dan, This one could

683
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:06,479
Speaker 2: well have been a big dog.

684
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 1: It's not.

685
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 2: This is high noon ESPN. It is LSU minus six

686
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 2: and a half on the road at Missouri. Another bounce

687
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 2: back situation. Super Bowl Saturday. Yeah, Yeah, I'm gonna give

688
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 2: you the option here, all right, you can opt out.

689
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: Do we want to do a.

690
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 2: Double home dog situation here for Miszoo.

691
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: With who who else?

692
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 2: You and me both going home dog?

693
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:36,879
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm going to Missoo home dog.

694
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 2: The Yokers home Dog of the week Home Dog of

695
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,800
Speaker 2: the Week, by the way, brought to you by Verballers

696
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 2: dot com.

697
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: Verbalers dot YouTube dot com, slash at solid.

698
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 2: Verbal Yeah, man, Miszoo, I'm I think I'm all in

699
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 2: on Missoo this week. Okay, I think I'm all in.

700
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 2: I'm not going to lock them up. I have another

701
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 2: game that I like a little bit more, but I

702
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 2: can't think of a better situation than what Massoo's got.

703
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 2: It's one week after LSU went on the road lost

704
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 2: that heartbreaker against Old Miss. Now they're coming to Columbia

705
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 2: to play a Maszoo team that's got the wind at

706
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 2: its back. It feels like they're getting better and better

707
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 2: with each passing week, especially on offense. Lord knows, they

708
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 2: are far from perfect. There is still a lot of

709
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 2: cleanup to do, but the fact that this team plays hard.

710
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 2: It has always played hard for Eli drink Witz, and

711
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 2: now with the addition of Kirby Moore giving this offense

712
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 2: an identity, essentially rebooting the offense, making Brady Cook perhaps,

713
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 2: as we discussed on the last episode, the second best

714
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 2: quarterback in the SEC.

715
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:51,399
Speaker 1: It just feels like the riding is on the wall.

716
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 2: It feels like this is another situation that has been

717
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 2: screaming to us a few weeks in advance, telling us

718
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 2: that Massoo stands a chance here to not only win

719
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,879
Speaker 2: at home, but also, you know, at a minimum cover

720
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 2: this point spread. So I really like Missoo's chances here.

721
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,359
Speaker 2: And that doesn't even get into the whole conversation about

722
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 2: LSU's defense, which maybe you could go into a little bit.

723
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 2: I'm on Miszoo here. I like Miszoo outright.

724
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: Man? Are we entering into a situation where it's Jayden

725
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: Daniels in a losing effort because he's completing sixty seven

726
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 1: percent of his passes five touchdowns to one interception, I

727
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 1: think ten yards per attempt, Like he's a borderline Heisman

728
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: caliber quarterback in losses And so if he's not enough,

729
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 1: what does that mean about Brian Kelly's coaching? What does

730
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: that mean about the secondary this year? What does that

731
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: mean about the pass rush, like that they aren't good

732
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: enough to just hang out with Jaden Daniels and be

733
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: anywhere near his level of consistency, and so I like

734
00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: that the receivers are getting better. I like that, or

735
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 1: that more are being incorporated. I like that the running

736
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,240
Speaker 1: game has improved, but the defense is in a place

737
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: after sort of giving up what thirty thirty one points

738
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 1: to Arkansas, who's lost three or four straight, and then

739
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: what they allowed to ole Miss. I hesitate about thinking

740
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: Miszoo is perhaps ahead of where they actually are because

741
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 1: of wins against Kansas State, Vanderbilt, Memphis, whatever. But I

742
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: think they're solid, and they're at home and they're a

743
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: home dog. I think the offense is ahead of the

744
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: defense at this point just because of how electric Luthor

745
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: Burden has been as a weapon, but no as a

746
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: home dog. And I think that the crowd's going to

747
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 1: go crazy. I'm gonna go with Miszoo here. I just

748
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be up for this game. And I

749
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: don't think you solve what al's LSU in six days.

750
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:49,399
Speaker 1: I just don't.

751
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,320
Speaker 2: I just can't get over the defense thing with LSU.

752
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:55,479
Speaker 1: I can't.

753
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,760
Speaker 2: This was a top twenty five unit a year ago.

754
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 2: Thus far, there's six four nationally and they project as

755
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:07,320
Speaker 2: a seven to five team. They were seventieth in returning

756
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,879
Speaker 2: production on the defensive side of the ball coming into

757
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 2: the year. They did a pretty good job plugging the gaps.

758
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 2: That was one of the things that we called out

759
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 2: when we did season previews. They plugged gaps through the

760
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 2: portal through high school recruiting. Getting talent has not been

761
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 2: a problem at LSU maybe ever, but certainly not for

762
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:27,919
Speaker 2: Brian Kelly. But just something is definitely off because they're

763
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 2: not good. They're just they're not good. Like newsflash, they

764
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,240
Speaker 2: have not been good on that side of the ball.

765
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 2: It seems like they're trying to get pressure without blitzing,

766
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 2: which is working okay, but not nearly enough to offer

767
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 2: enough resistance. And I don't think they're going to beat

768
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:43,919
Speaker 2: Brady Cook that way. I think Brady Cook has turned

769
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 2: over a new leaf here. Certainly they're incorporating Luther Burden

770
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 2: into the offense a lot more in a way that's

771
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 2: been crazy effective thus far. On the Miszoo side, I

772
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 2: like them outright. I think it's more points. It's it's

773
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 2: a lot of points. It's thirty seven thirty probably Clo

774
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,879
Speaker 2: but Maszoo at home, all the momentum in the world,

775
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 2: LSU reeling a bit. Give me, give me the Miszoo Tigers.

776
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: And here's the other question, like what has LSU done

777
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,359
Speaker 1: this year? No to warrant this kind of like this

778
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: year specifically, I understand we have to take like a

779
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: more holistic view. And we know they Jaden Daniels is great.

780
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: We know Brian Kelly's a very good coach. We know

781
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 1: that there's a ton of talent on both sides of

782
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: the ball. But what have they accomplished this year to

783
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: earn that number? By the way, you ready for something

784
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:33,320
Speaker 1: that's going to blow your mind. This was just a hypothesis.

785
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: I found the statistic behind it. Here it is Jadeen

786
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 1: Daniels is first in the country, first in the country.

787
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 1: When his team is losing by eight to fourteen points,

788
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 1: he has a passer rating of three hundred and twenty six.

789
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:48,839
Speaker 1: I didn't know it went up that high. I didn't

790
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 1: know it went up that high either. He's fifteen of

791
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 1: so ignore the passer rating. He's fifteen of sixteen ninety

792
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,919
Speaker 1: three percent completion rate. Wow. For two hundred and eighty

793
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: seven yards, four touchdowns, zero interceptions when LSU is down

794
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 1: by eight to fourteen points. So Jane Daniels in a

795
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: losing effort is robust. Wow, Okay, why not? He's ready

796
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 1: for it. And this is all, by the way, let

797
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: me be clear, it's a compliment to Jane Daniels. He's

798
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 1: playing his ass off and he's playing excellently well. Yeah,

799
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: man for ninety nine point two percent of the time.

800
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 1: But all right, so we agree, we agree, Let's move on.

801
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 1: We got a bunch of other games to get. Let's go.

802
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 2: Let's go the other big highlight in this window twelve

803
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 2: pm on Fox. It is Maryland at Ohio State. Ohio

804
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 2: State favored by nineteen and one half point stan. This

805
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 2: game's gotten a little closer each time Mike Loxley has

806
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 2: gone up against Ryan Day.

807
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:41,839
Speaker 1: Yeah.

808
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:45,280
Speaker 2: Back in twenty nineteen, it was seventy three to fourteen,

809
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 2: two years ago, sixty six to.

810
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,800
Speaker 1: Seventeen, and last year was closed.

811
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 2: Last year it was forty three to thirty in College Park.

812
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 2: So for me, I've been saying it for weeks. The

813
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 2: mismatches the lines. Ohio State I think is good enough

814
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 2: to control that point of attack. And we've seen it

815
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 2: happen before, where they can force Tala into making mistakes.

816
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 2: My concern is not whether Ohio State's going to win

817
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 2: this game. It's whether there's a backdoor cover situation for Maryland.

818
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 2: I could see something like forty one twenty four with

819
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 2: the garbage time touchdowns, something like that. I am going

820
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 2: to take Ohio State here forty two seventeen. I really

821
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 2: like Ohio State in the spot again because of that

822
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 2: line matchup. But I've seen a lot of people out

823
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:33,240
Speaker 2: there that are far more bullish on Maryland. I suspect

824
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 2: you maybe one of them.

825
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: Maryland's difficult because Maryland's schedule is such that you're like,

826
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,720
Speaker 1: what are we actually Like It's Michigan State, Indiana, Virginia

827
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: or the Power five teams. So those are the one,

828
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 1: number one and twenty two, eighty six and ninety fourth

829
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 1: rated offensive SPPLUS teams. So we don't have it like

830
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: Ohio State's going to be better now. Ohio State running

831
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 1: the ball I don't think is in a great place right. No,

832
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 1: they have not been able to move the ball on

833
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 1: the ground all that well. The struggles that Ryan Day

834
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: or that fans are pointing out about Ryan Day and

835
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 1: his play calling in higher leverage moments, the fact that

836
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 1: Mike Locksley was able to I mean, the game was

837
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: much closer than that final score, right. I think that

838
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 1: was something that happened late last season, so that was

839
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: a full on game for four quarters last year. And

840
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think Maryland has two good receivers

841
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: right in ty Felton and Jashn Jones. So look, Ohio

842
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: State has the edge at probably every single position on

843
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 1: the field, maybe other than quarterback, which is very strange

844
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: to say right now with Kyle McCord. We'll see if

845
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: by the end of the season. But I'm going Maryland

846
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 1: to cover here. I think they can score enough. I

847
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: don't love their lines, I don't love their defense, but

848
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 1: I think they can score enough. And Ohio State is

849
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:53,839
Speaker 1: still discombobulated enough that Ohio State wins this game by

850
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 1: ten to thirteen points. But I don't know. This one

851
00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: feels odd to me, even though it's in Columba, And

852
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,280
Speaker 1: I don't know what Tim Buckley, our weatherman, said about

853
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: you know, the weather in Columbus this weekend, if it's

854
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 1: dropping and cold, whatever, I don't know. I think Maryland's

855
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: a well enough coach team. Who's who's on that staff again,

856
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 1: it's it's everybody, It's Kevin someone, it's.

857
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,320
Speaker 2: Why can't I'm blanket on the guy's name from Miami,

858
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 2: Josh Gaddis.

859
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 1: Josh Gaddis, Yes, you know so, Yeah, they're gonna throw

860
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 1: everything at State. Yeah, you got a staff all right.

861
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 2: Some other games here in the early window that we're

862
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 2: gonna move to the afternoon block. I don't necessarily have

863
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 2: a lean on any of these games and just want

864
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 2: to call them out. All of these are noon kicks

865
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:41,320
Speaker 2: on Peacock Rutgers at Wisconsin, Wisconsin favored by fourteen ESPNU,

866
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,799
Speaker 2: It's Marshall at NC State, NC State favored by six

867
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:47,400
Speaker 2: and a half. CBS Sports Network, Boston College at Army

868
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,839
Speaker 2: West Point, Army west Point favor by three points. We've

869
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 2: also got Western Michigan Assisippi State Misssippi State favored by

870
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:54,240
Speaker 2: three scores.

871
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 1: And I don't see a line on it, but we

872
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 1: always like to call out.

873
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 2: A game featuring Bill and Mary on the road at

874
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 2: I don't know if you got anything to say, but

875
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 2: just want to call them out.

876
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 1: I've got Marshall possibly winning out right against NC State.

877
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: I just I think the Marshall defense is pretty good,

878
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 1: and I think the Brennan Armstrong NC State offense is

879
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 1: still very much under construction, if not just dilapidated. I

880
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 1: have Wisconsin covering against Rutgers. I think they're coming on

881
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:20,839
Speaker 1: stronger and stronger, even though they're a little bit thinner

882
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 1: at running back with Chez Mlucy's injury. I have Army

883
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,320
Speaker 1: beating Boston College outright. I think that's just going to

884
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: be difficult for BC on defense, even though I don't

885
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:31,800
Speaker 1: love Army this year and they're more defense than offense,

886
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: which is strange to say. I'm still going with Army here.

887
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:37,879
Speaker 1: I don't have a pick in either of those other

888
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:38,760
Speaker 1: two matchups.

889
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 2: Unfortunately. Next, let's get to our afternoon block. For my money,

890
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:48,720
Speaker 2: this is your window of opportunity. This is that moment

891
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 2: in the Saturday when if you got to go to

892
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 2: the soccer match, if you want to go for maybe

893
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 2: a mid afternoon stroll with your significant other, Okay, take

894
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:01,839
Speaker 2: the pup for a walk through the woods. I don't

895
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 2: know what do you do on a Saturday when you're

896
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 2: trying to get a breath of fresh air, stretch.

897
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 1: I just go outside and I get jacked tie. I

898
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: just do a bunch of push ups, a bunch of sprints.

899
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 1: I get a lot of weird looks by my neighbors. No,

900
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,399
Speaker 1: I like to go outside and get some fresh air

901
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 1: and just sit around and take some deep breaths and

902
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,760
Speaker 1: go back in and watch forty four more hours of football.

903
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 2: Play with the Super Bowls. If you want super Bowl

904
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 2: play with your Super Bowls. If that's a thing that

905
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,320
Speaker 2: you're into, just it is Super Bowl Saturday.

906
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:31,919
Speaker 1: Lock in on your Super Bowls. Give them a real

907
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: good play, settle sett. I was trying to see how

908
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:36,840
Speaker 1: long it would take you.

909
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,879
Speaker 2: We want sponsors on the Oh yeah, anyway, Okay, three

910
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 2: point thirty ESPN Syracuse at North Carolina. North Carolina favored

911
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 2: by eight and a half points. I think North Carolina

912
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 2: continues as the quietest, sh quietest, unbeaten team in the country.

913
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,800
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll take the points.

914
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:00,840
Speaker 2: I think eight and halfs too much and still not

915
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 2: fully trusting of their defense. But North Carolina wins at

916
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 2: home something like thirty one twenty four. Potential backdoor cover

917
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:07,720
Speaker 2: here for Keughes.

918
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 1: It's interesting. Yeah, I think I think I'm gonna go

919
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 1: Syracuse as well, though it's North Carolina coming off of

920
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 1: a bye which worries me a little, and it's Syracuse

921
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 1: coming off of Clemson. So I think I'm gonna be

922
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: again the Usain Bolt of flip flopping and go with

923
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 1: North Carolina here to win by ten to twelve points

924
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 1: against Syracuse, just because I didn't love the struggles of

925
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 1: Syracuse's offense last week, and even though they did it,

926
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 1: I think they did a decent enough job against will Shipley.

927
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:40,399
Speaker 1: Although maybe this I'm fully misremembering. I think Drake May

928
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 1: is going to to get going. I think North Carolina

929
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 1: is gonna I keep talking myself, I keep flip flopping,

930
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 1: snip snapping. I'm still gonna go North Carolina to him

931
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: by ten to twelve here. I think they're gonna be

932
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:56,399
Speaker 1: enough big plays. I really like Syracuse's defense this year. Yeah,

933
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:58,400
Speaker 1: me too, but I think they're gonna be able to

934
00:47:58,400 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 1: throw on them a little bit.

935
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,839
Speaker 2: Also in this afternoon window, and there are a bunch

936
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 2: of games, I'm going to rattle them off here momentarily. Again,

937
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 2: we could do the same thing. You can tell me

938
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 2: if you've got a lean or not. The other one

939
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 2: that I did want to call out, make sure we

940
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 2: spent some time talking about UCF at Kansas four pm

941
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 2: kick on on Fox. This seems like a fun game.

942
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 2: Kansas is favored by two and a half points. I

943
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 2: have not seen the official status of our guy, your guy,

944
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,799
Speaker 2: John Rice plumb Lee. Sure it sounds like he is

945
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 2: back at practice ahead of this game, though it's unofficial

946
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 2: yet whether or not he's been cleared to come back

947
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 2: after the leg injury he suffered a couple of weeks ago.

948
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:39,760
Speaker 2: It's of note that UCF is staring down the barrel

949
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 2: of an zero to three start in Big Twelve Conference play,

950
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 2: so new member of a Power five conference. We like

951
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 2: UCF to some extent. It has been slow going in

952
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 2: the early portion of their Big Twelve schedule. They should

953
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:57,360
Speaker 2: have won probably last week, if not for some oddities

954
00:48:57,920 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 2: at the end of that Baylor game where they surrendered

955
00:48:59,920 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 2: a huge lead and yacked it away. I am going

956
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 2: to take UCF outright here. And I love Kansas, but

957
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:08,760
Speaker 2: I'm going to take UCF outright.

958
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 1: I like this team.

959
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 2: I feel like they are due. I still don't like

960
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 2: the Kansas defense, so give me the Knights.

961
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 1: I disagree. I'm going Kansas here. You're again disrespecting a

962
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 1: home field. I don't like UCF against the run. I

963
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 1: think Kansas should be able to run. And you're also

964
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 1: talking about UCF in a super ball situation. After what

965
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:32,480
Speaker 1: do you say, yacking away? Gacking away?

966
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 2: I said, yak, Todd gak was in Seinfeld. Yaki is

967
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 2: when you choke a It.

968
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:40,360
Speaker 1: Was also Nickelodeon's thing right the slime that was yack. Yeah.

969
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:43,239
Speaker 1: I think this is a very tough bounceback situation for

970
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 1: his UCF after that choke job last week against Baylor.

971
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 2: No super balls, You're you're selectively super bowling.

972
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 1: This, Yes, I am selectively. I think UCF needs to

973
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 1: tap into its super Bawl qualities and I'm hoping for

974
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:00,439
Speaker 1: their sake they're able to and make this a a game.

975
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:02,319
Speaker 1: I think Kansas should be able to control this one.

976
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 1: They didn't look great against Texas. I think they were

977
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 1: zero of eight on third down as one of the

978
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 1: better third down teams in the country. I think it's

979
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 1: a nice bounce back week for Kansas. I think they

980
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:13,400
Speaker 1: are the super Bowl team in this matchup. We disagree.

981
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:17,880
Speaker 2: Keep going, Let's keep going, Let's keep going. Let's three thirty.

982
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 2: These are a bunch of games here. You can you

983
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 2: can stop me, You can put up your hand, you

984
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 2: can wait till I get done reading off h I

985
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:26,399
Speaker 2: don't know. Ten games here, three thirty ABC, Virginia Tech

986
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,640
Speaker 2: at Florida State Florida State favored by twenty four. Three

987
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 2: thirty ACC Network, Wake Forest at Clemson, Clemson favored by

988
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:37,760
Speaker 2: three scores. Three point thirty Peacock Purdue at Iowa, Iowa favored.

989
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 1: I would add Kate McNamara.

990
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 2: Out for the season. The towny eight seat ACL excuse me,

991
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 2: which saws brutal?

992
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 1: That sucks.

993
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:49,359
Speaker 2: We no, we poked so much fun at Iowa, and

994
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:53,360
Speaker 2: rightfully so because the offense has been But this sucks

995
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:56,399
Speaker 2: for Kate McNamara. I feel really bad he transfers down there.

996
00:50:56,400 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 2: Now they've got Daan Hill at quarterback. We can discuss

997
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 2: maybe what that means. Also, four o'clock Vandy at Florida,

998
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 2: Florida favored by eighteen and a half. Three o'clock, it's

999
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 2: Howard at Northwestern. We've got Texas State at Louisiana, Arkansas

1000
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 2: State at Troy, Yukon at Rice, and at six point

1001
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 2: thirty PAC twelve Network it is Colorado minus four and

1002
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 2: a half on the road at ASU, and I wanted

1003
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:25,719
Speaker 2: to mention that game last, but certainly not least, because

1004
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 2: Colorado has obviously been in the headlines given what is

1005
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 2: transpired and Boulder. The last two weeks now they have

1006
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:36,800
Speaker 2: squared off against competition that they are not as good against, clearly,

1007
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,360
Speaker 2: but they fought like hell, we could go against USC

1008
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 2: and now going to Tempe, I think this is a

1009
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 2: very very interesting spot to lay the points with Colorado

1010
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 2: because I just think Asus in a state of disarray,

1011
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:52,279
Speaker 2: and I think Colorado'm not going to have Travis Hunter back.

1012
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 2: He's still a week or two out given his liver

1013
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 2: laceration apparently, which sounds awful yep. But there's still a

1014
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 2: team that can score and a team that feels like

1015
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 2: they're playing with a fair amount of momentum, at least

1016
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 2: on the offensive side of the ball.

1017
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:06,840
Speaker 1: So that that's one game.

1018
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 2: I think I feel particularly strongly about Colorado minus the

1019
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:13,360
Speaker 2: number on the road at ASU. All Right, can I

1020
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 2: start going through these please?

1021
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 4: No?

1022
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 1: Please? I think Florida State's gonna cover against Virginia Tech.

1023
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:19,440
Speaker 1: They should. I mean, they haven't been able to run

1024
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 1: all that well this year, but I think Virginia Tech

1025
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 1: might be the cure for the common rushing attack in Florida.

1026
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 1: State at its best has an excellent rushing attack. They

1027
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 1: just have not been able to get into a rhythm.

1028
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 1: I don't know if the lanes just haven't been there

1029
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:32,360
Speaker 1: from the line for whatever reason, they just have I

1030
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 1: think they're going to be able to against Virginia Tach

1031
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 1: at home. I think it's too many points. I don't.

1032
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:39,719
Speaker 1: I don't love Wake Forest at all, but I think

1033
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 1: it's too many points for Clemson, and so I'm gonna

1034
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 1: take Wake and the points. I kind of hate it,

1035
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:46,759
Speaker 1: but the defense has improved. If Mitch Griffis is a

1036
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:47,719
Speaker 1: little bit, I like that.

1037
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 2: Pick Dan, I like that, which is a red flag

1038
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 2: for you. But I feel similarly.

1039
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:53,879
Speaker 1: But I think Wake is coming off of a buye

1040
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 1: Are they not? I believe so. So it's Dave class

1041
00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:59,719
Speaker 1: and funky offense off of Bye. I think they're gonna

1042
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:02,960
Speaker 1: throw enough weird curve balls to hit enough corners against Clemson,

1043
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 1: who has not. I mean, Clemson just has not been

1044
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:07,839
Speaker 1: able to get it going offensively this year against even

1045
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 1: average competition. So I'm going with Wake there. I have

1046
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 1: Iowa covering against Perdue because at a certain point if

1047
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 1: you have no offense with your starting quarterback healthy, and

1048
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:24,680
Speaker 1: you're able to win games, what's the difference. What's the

1049
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:26,879
Speaker 1: difference last year? What's the difference this year? If Deacon

1050
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 1: Hill is disappointing in the Brian Farren system specifically, so

1051
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 1: what it's still Perdue on the road. I think I

1052
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:39,440
Speaker 1: have Look, they made more special teams, defensive touchdowns, whatever.

1053
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 1: I have Iowa covering this game because they have the

1054
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:44,400
Speaker 1: clear best element of this game, which is their defense.

1055
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 1: So look, we're in possibly for a reverse frosting tie

1056
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 1: that Nebraska had the best three to nine team of

1057
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:56,360
Speaker 1: all time. We might be in for the absolute bottom

1058
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,399
Speaker 1: of the barrel ten and two team of all time

1059
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 1: in Iowa. Look at their schedule again, Look at this,

1060
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 1: I know they have. I think Wisconsin is next week, right.

1061
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:07,319
Speaker 2: Otherwise reverse frosting a.

1062
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:11,480
Speaker 1: Reversed frosting Iowa again, I'm gonna read it out loud quickly, ty,

1063
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna move forward to the next game.

1064
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:19,240
Speaker 1: Iowa's schedule moving forward is not good. Perdue probably decent

1065
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:22,759
Speaker 1: or pretty good. Wisconsin not that good, Minnesota not that good,

1066
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 1: Northwestern Okay, Ish, Rutgers not good, Illinois not good Nebraska

1067
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:34,760
Speaker 1: like the reverse frosting potential, our FP is extraordinarily high

1068
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,319
Speaker 1: for Iowa to be the absolute worst ten and two

1069
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 1: team of all time.

1070
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 2: I love it. I love this so much, the reverse frosting.

1071
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 2: I'm gonna come back to this game at the end

1072
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:44,960
Speaker 2: of the show. Okay, Okay, let's go over to the

1073
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:45,760
Speaker 2: night window.

1074
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 3: I can't.

1075
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:50,799
Speaker 2: Notre Dame minus six and a half on the road

1076
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 2: at the ultimate letdown look ahead spot for Notre Dame dus.

1077
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:02,400
Speaker 1: I'm so hungry.

1078
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:07,440
Speaker 2: Oh boy boy, two nail biders in a row for

1079
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 2: Notre Dame with the Ohio State game, then the letdown

1080
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 2: that followed on the road at Duke. Now you got

1081
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:17,000
Speaker 2: hostile Knight environment on the road at Louisville. They're gonna

1082
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:17,400
Speaker 2: be rocking.

1083
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1084
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:24,399
Speaker 2: USC rivalry on deck next week. So we haven't talked

1085
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 2: much about Louisville this year. We haven't had much a

1086
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 2: reason to talk about Louisville because they have beaten precisely

1087
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 2: Georgia Tech, Murray State, Indiana, Boston College, and NC State.

1088
00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think I have a bit of.

1089
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 2: A crush on Jeward Jordan. They're going back seven point

1090
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 2: seven yards per carry a home run hitter. He is

1091
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 2: fun to watch. I like that Jeff Brohm is airing

1092
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:50,160
Speaker 2: it out. I don't so much like Jack Plummer, but

1093
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:54,239
Speaker 2: he's been fine so far this year. I like that

1094
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 2: this is not a dink and dunk offense. They are

1095
00:55:56,640 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 2: taking shots and that at least makes them very watchable.

1096
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:04,240
Speaker 2: They are going to finish this season with a whisper

1097
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:07,279
Speaker 2: quiet nine to three or ten and two record. They're

1098
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:10,880
Speaker 2: not quite the reverse Frosting caliber team that you described

1099
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 2: with Iowa, but they are going to be very, very

1100
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:16,879
Speaker 2: quietly a nine or ten win team. I do think

1101
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:20,799
Speaker 2: the speed bump is coming this week, though I think

1102
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 2: it started a week ago against Ency State when they

1103
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:26,359
Speaker 2: played a better defense. They only managed thirteen points there

1104
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 2: twenty rushing yards against Sense State. Yeah, Notre Dame's defense

1105
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 2: should be good enough to do much the same. Notre

1106
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:36,840
Speaker 2: Dame is also healthier this week. They get both of

1107
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 2: the Jadens back out White, Jayden Thomas Jane Greathhouse returning

1108
00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:41,920
Speaker 2: from injury. That I think is going to help that

1109
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:45,160
Speaker 2: wide receiver corps. I like Notre Dame by ten to fourteen.

1110
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:47,839
Speaker 2: I think the defense is good enough on the Notre

1111
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:50,480
Speaker 2: Dame side to force Jack plumber into a few picks.

1112
00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 1: So you think it's a letdown look ahead situation, but

1113
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:54,560
Speaker 1: not a letdown look ahead result.

1114
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 2: That's exactly right. Twenty seven to thirteen, Notre Dame wins

1115
00:56:57,600 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 2: on the road.

1116
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:01,320
Speaker 1: Notre Dame is going to low the doors off of Louisville.

1117
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:08,279
Speaker 1: Lock of the week, block of the week, better you

1118
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:11,880
Speaker 1: than me, better you than me. I think they're going

1119
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:14,400
Speaker 1: to overwhelm the Louisville offensive line currently sitting at one

1120
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:16,880
Speaker 1: hundred and eighth in terms of pressure rate allowed. And

1121
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 1: we saw once again it was Howard Cross upfront for

1122
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 1: the Irish who was able to push Duke around. I

1123
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 1: just I think Notre Dame is it. While it may

1124
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 1: be a letdown situation if you're if it's a letdown

1125
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 1: situation in a winning effort, I think there is going

1126
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 1: to be a nice release on Super Bowl Saturday, a

1127
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:38,960
Speaker 1: nice release from Notre Dame after the way they lost.

1128
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 1: Ty will, if you stick around after the show ends,

1129
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 1: Ty will explain what I'm talking about. You can explain that,

1130
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:48,120
Speaker 1: yeah that I think there is a good amount of

1131
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 1: relief and pressure in that they were able to get

1132
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:53,280
Speaker 1: away from Duke with a win. I think they're going

1133
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 1: to connect more downfield. I think throwing into a Jim

1134
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:00,440
Speaker 1: Noles defense, throwing into a Mike Elcho defense. It's just

1135
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:02,240
Speaker 1: going to be different this week. I think it could

1136
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:04,800
Speaker 1: be close after a quarter. I think Notre Dame is

1137
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 1: going to push Louisville around. I think they're going to

1138
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 1: connect downfield. I think Notre Dame is going to once

1139
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:14,200
Speaker 1: again overwhelm Louisville upfront and Jack Plumber upfront. Thirty five

1140
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 1: fourteen Notre Dame.

1141
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:19,480
Speaker 2: A couple other games here in this window. I'm going

1142
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:21,960
Speaker 2: to rattle a few off. You can stop me. Let

1143
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:24,240
Speaker 2: me know which one you have thoughts on. Seven thirty

1144
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:27,200
Speaker 2: sec Network, Arkansas Old miss Ole miss favorite at home

1145
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:30,400
Speaker 2: by eleven and a half. Got Texas Tech on the

1146
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:35,640
Speaker 2: road minus one at Baylor eight PMSPN two, got TCU

1147
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 2: minus six and a half on the road at Iowa

1148
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:44,120
Speaker 2: State eight PMFS two. The NBC slash Peacock game is

1149
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:47,720
Speaker 2: Michigan minus nineteen and a half at Minnesota. We've also

1150
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 2: got Georgia Tech at Miami Miami favored by three scores,

1151
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 2: and Fresno minus five and a half. Got to call

1152
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 2: them out. They're unbeaten. They figured to be maybe the

1153
00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:59,160
Speaker 2: only unbeaten group of five team throughout the course of

1154
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:01,560
Speaker 2: this season. They are minus five and a half on

1155
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:03,920
Speaker 2: the road at Laramie against Wyoming.

1156
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:08,640
Speaker 1: Any thoughts, I'm sorry, I'm just looking up the current

1157
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:11,440
Speaker 1: roster of Peacock shows and I've heard of I mean,

1158
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:13,800
Speaker 1: they show other shows, but I've just heard of none

1159
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 1: of this stuff that never comes across my radar. Not

1160
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 1: a sponsor, can not a sponsor. Probably not. After I said,

1161
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 1: I've never heard of any of the still stand he's

1162
00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:26,520
Speaker 1: got talking, stop talking? Still could be any of these

1163
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:30,200
Speaker 1: games after Notre Dame Louisville. I have Texas Tech beating Baylor.

1164
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:33,440
Speaker 1: I think that there's a deflation coming for the Bears,

1165
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:35,280
Speaker 1: and I like that Texas Tech is running the ball

1166
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 1: and playing some decent defense. Can I stop you right there, please?

1167
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 1: Block of the week.

1168
00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:49,120
Speaker 2: Great comeback for Baylor a week ago, Absolutely great comeback

1169
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 2: against UCF. All due credit. The line is still a mess.

1170
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:57,640
Speaker 2: It is a veritable car crash on that offensive line.

1171
00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 2: That's not to say that text necessarily the team that

1172
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:01,920
Speaker 2: take advantage of it.

1173
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:03,920
Speaker 1: No, and it's a baron morton Texas Tech. There's a

1174
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:06,440
Speaker 1: lot of lot not to like about Tech Teck right.

1175
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 2: Now, I'm on Tech by seven to ten points.

1176
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:11,520
Speaker 1: Here. By the way, if you remember, this is the

1177
01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:14,479
Speaker 1: butt game. This is BEU against t T on Super

1178
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 1: Bowl Saturday, So that's butts. TCU favored by six and

1179
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:22,120
Speaker 1: a half at Iowa State. This falls under my category

1180
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 1: of what has TCU done exactly this year? What has

1181
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:30,479
Speaker 1: TCU done exactly to earn being favored over Iowa State

1182
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 1: by six and a half on the road at night

1183
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 1: against a good defense, against a loud crowd, and aims

1184
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 1: they beat smud? Did tc you just lose to West

1185
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 1: Virginia at home? Is that a thing that did I invent?

1186
01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:44,120
Speaker 2: That?

1187
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:46,320
Speaker 1: Was I in a fugue state while that happened? No,

1188
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:50,080
Speaker 1: Iowa State is going to cover, if not win this

1189
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:53,720
Speaker 1: game against see you, I'm with you, Yeah, I have Yeah,

1190
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:55,439
Speaker 1: I was going to say, I mean, I'm on Iowa

1191
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:59,640
Speaker 1: State here. They don't play offense. They positively do not.

1192
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:02,920
Speaker 1: They did against Oklahoma State. They did rock obecs Jalen

1193
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:05,440
Speaker 1: knowl they did, but you can't erase that.

1194
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 2: But they played defense. You've got defending national runners up

1195
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 2: coming to town at night. I think that place will

1196
01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:15,320
Speaker 2: be excited for this matchup, and they'll be ready to

1197
01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 2: play absolutely, So I'm with you on them covering I've

1198
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:24,720
Speaker 2: got I've got Arkansas plus eleven and a half, Okay,

1199
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:26,720
Speaker 2: and I don't really feel good about it, but.

1200
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:29,320
Speaker 1: As do I. It's a it's a super Bowl situation

1201
01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:31,479
Speaker 1: for ole Miss. I don't think they've earned that number.

1202
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gut check time for the Hogs because they

1203
01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 2: are in the throes of an absolute murderers row on

1204
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:39,240
Speaker 2: their schedule.

1205
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 1: Have you seen this for Arkansas? I did.

1206
01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:45,880
Speaker 2: This started with a loss to BYU, continued with a

1207
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:49,680
Speaker 2: loss against LSU, got dominated last week by A and M.

1208
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:54,200
Speaker 2: This week they're at ole Miss. Next week they're at BABA. Yeah,

1209
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:58,360
Speaker 2: and still I'm picking him plus the points because Arkansas

1210
01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:01,480
Speaker 2: might be one of those teams that's within one score

1211
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 2: of everyone. Obviously not last week, not last week. But

1212
01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:08,400
Speaker 2: this just isn't really a bad situation for them, given

1213
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:12,200
Speaker 2: ol Miss won the thriller against LSU last week, all

1214
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:14,120
Speaker 2: Miss wins, but Arkansas plus the number.

1215
01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 1: Arkansas has been away from Fayetteville since the BYU game

1216
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 1: game they lost thirty eight thirty one. That was September sixteenth.

1217
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 1: Their next game in Fayetteville is October twenty first, crazy,

1218
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:29,760
Speaker 1: so something like thirty five days between home games. Tough.

1219
01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:32,640
Speaker 1: That's a tough stretch of the schedule, obviously, as you

1220
01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:34,600
Speaker 1: pointed out, I just think the number is too high

1221
01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:36,480
Speaker 1: for a team that still has no defense. I think

1222
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:42,440
Speaker 1: kJ Jefferson, even behind a pretty woeful offensive line, I

1223
01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 1: don't like this dandy nos offense at all. I didn't

1224
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:47,640
Speaker 1: like it in June, July August. You know when somebody

1225
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 1: bounces around like that, I'm just out. And then did

1226
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:53,160
Speaker 1: you see that he was personally responding to emails sent

1227
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:55,960
Speaker 1: to him by Arkansas fans. Just like a just run

1228
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:58,560
Speaker 1: a snake, Just run a sneak. You have kJ Jefferson,

1229
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:01,160
Speaker 1: and he was like responding within minutes. Oh, I'm sure

1230
01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 1: you're a coach too. I love I love that we

1231
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:05,120
Speaker 1: follow a sport.

1232
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:08,800
Speaker 2: Not only can you email a coach, like, how would

1233
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:11,400
Speaker 2: you email an NFL coordinator? I don't know unless you

1234
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:13,640
Speaker 2: find unless Reddit finds his Gmail.

1235
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:16,120
Speaker 1: Well, they're like state employees, so I think there has

1236
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 1: to be some sort of Yeah.

1237
01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:20,240
Speaker 2: I love that not only can you email the guy,

1238
01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:24,160
Speaker 2: but he's responding now to crowdsourced play calling.

1239
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:26,640
Speaker 1: I love it. Do you think he's waking up in

1240
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:28,760
Speaker 1: the middle of the night coming up with comebacks that

1241
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:32,080
Speaker 1: he should have said, like George Costanza and the Ocean Call.

1242
01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:35,840
Speaker 1: That's what I should have said to that sophomore who

1243
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 1: emailed me between classes. Yeah, beautiful, I love it. I'm

1244
01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:41,560
Speaker 1: not high on Arkansas, but I think the number is

1245
01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:45,480
Speaker 1: too big for ole Miss Otherwise in that window, I

1246
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 1: have Michigan minus anything against Minnesota. I don't know the

1247
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:50,040
Speaker 1: current status of Darius Taylor, who I think is very good.

1248
01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:54,080
Speaker 1: I have Miami big over Georgia Tech me big. It's

1249
01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:56,640
Speaker 1: not a look ahead spot for Miami. Georgia Tech just

1250
01:03:57,080 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 1: I think demoted its defensive coordinator after lose into Bowling Green.

1251
01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:03,960
Speaker 1: I think Miami and Miamy's coming off of Bye Yes, right,

1252
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:07,440
Speaker 1: that's right. I think, so I have them. There's a

1253
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:09,600
Speaker 1: big game at the end of this window, though. Ti

1254
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:16,520
Speaker 1: fres No Wyoming, Yeah, yeah, I I think I like

1255
01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:21,320
Speaker 1: Wyoming No, come on. I think by the way, I

1256
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:23,960
Speaker 1: agree with you on the Colorado I didn't weigh in

1257
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:26,520
Speaker 1: on Colorado Asu because I'm mister pac twelve. I agree

1258
01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:28,840
Speaker 1: with you in Colorado, even though I think stadium is

1259
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:31,640
Speaker 1: going to be there's any excitement in there because Colorado

1260
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:33,600
Speaker 1: is gonna get everybody's best shot, like people are going

1261
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:36,080
Speaker 1: to show up to watch the Buffalo's. But I think

1262
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:38,200
Speaker 1: there's too much off you. Why do you like Wyoming?

1263
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:43,800
Speaker 1: Let's go through Fresno's schedule thus far, then I'll tell

1264
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:45,960
Speaker 1: you why I think Wyoming has a good defense. It's

1265
01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:47,960
Speaker 1: the highest Again, I'm mister altitude. I don't know if

1266
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:53,880
Speaker 1: you have the sound at the ready, right, I mean

1267
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:58,200
Speaker 1: the highest point, yeah, highest point FBS and as far

1268
01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:00,680
Speaker 1: as I can tell, San Joaquin Valley. If you're in

1269
01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:03,520
Speaker 1: a valley, you're probably not all that high up. So

1270
01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:08,320
Speaker 1: I am going with Wyoming here defense winning games at home.

1271
01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:12,360
Speaker 1: The following are the defenses that Fresno state or the offenses.

1272
01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:15,560
Speaker 1: It's your choice. Fresno opened the season winning at Purdue barely.

1273
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:17,760
Speaker 1: Winning at Purdue barely doesn't look all that good at

1274
01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:20,880
Speaker 1: this point, right, No, they're not that good, perdue, So

1275
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:24,560
Speaker 1: they've since played Eastern Washington, obviously not eligible for an

1276
01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:30,040
Speaker 1: SPPLUS rating eighty one, eighty two one and twenty nine. Okay,

1277
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:33,480
Speaker 1: that's that's who Fresno has played. Wyoming is more tested.

1278
01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:36,520
Speaker 1: They took Texas into the fourth quarter they beat Texas Tech.

1279
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:40,320
Speaker 1: They have a defense, they're well coached, their quarterbacks a gamer.

1280
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 1: I don't think their offense is all that good, but

1281
01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:46,960
Speaker 1: you give me altitude tested a crazy crowd, which it

1282
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:50,280
Speaker 1: always seems to be in Wyoming against the highlight of

1283
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:54,000
Speaker 1: their schedule, right Like this is, by the way, Fresno

1284
01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:57,440
Speaker 1: plays like no good defenses this year, Like after this

1285
01:05:57,800 --> 01:06:00,880
Speaker 1: Wyoming game, it's one thirteen ninety nine, seventy four eighty eight,

1286
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:05,920
Speaker 1: one ninety Like Wyoming offers them something that they're just

1287
01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:09,040
Speaker 1: not used to. And so I'm going with Wyoming here,

1288
01:06:09,320 --> 01:06:13,560
Speaker 1: especially with how well they seem to be preventing big plays. Great,

1289
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:14,880
Speaker 1: give me the Cowboys.

1290
01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:18,919
Speaker 2: We've got our chief reverb engineer Shay and Fresno aficionado

1291
01:06:19,040 --> 01:06:22,160
Speaker 2: saying in the chat right now that Laramie has been

1292
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:25,280
Speaker 2: a little house of horrors for Wyoming when they square

1293
01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:27,600
Speaker 2: off against Fresno State Fresno that's fine, free and o

1294
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:29,640
Speaker 2: at Laramie since joining the Mountain West.

1295
01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:32,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, guess what great things don't last forever?

1296
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:36,520
Speaker 2: No, Okay, a few other games here in the packed

1297
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:39,440
Speaker 2: Pac twelve after dark window and also Friday, I'll.

1298
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:43,800
Speaker 1: Play this sound. I'm gonna go through these quickly again.

1299
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:47,520
Speaker 2: Oregon State minus nine and a half at CAL, We've

1300
01:06:47,600 --> 01:06:51,000
Speaker 2: got Arizona on the road at USC, USC favored by

1301
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:52,720
Speaker 2: twenty one and a half. Those are PAC twelve after

1302
01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:56,800
Speaker 2: dark windows on Saturday. And then if we travel back

1303
01:06:56,840 --> 01:07:00,320
Speaker 2: in time, if we could, then k State minus eleven

1304
01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:03,720
Speaker 2: and a half at Oklahoma State on Friday evening, and

1305
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:08,520
Speaker 2: we've got Nebraska at Illinois Illinois and a half points.

1306
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:11,640
Speaker 1: I looked at on any of those games. When I

1307
01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:15,480
Speaker 1: saw that those two teams were squaring off, just like

1308
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:17,760
Speaker 1: going to play at all which obviously they're going to

1309
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:19,920
Speaker 1: in the same division, I said, are you f in

1310
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:24,880
Speaker 1: kidding me that this game exists this season? I have

1311
01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:27,840
Speaker 1: Cal because I think that number is too big for

1312
01:07:27,920 --> 01:07:29,800
Speaker 1: Oregon State. What have they done this year to earn

1313
01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:33,000
Speaker 1: that number? The win against Utah impressive, but away from

1314
01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:35,120
Speaker 1: home in this spot, I think the number is too big.

1315
01:07:35,720 --> 01:07:38,440
Speaker 1: I have Arizona covering in a letdown look ahead sandwich

1316
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:41,520
Speaker 1: against USC, letdown after almost giving away the Colorado game,

1317
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:44,200
Speaker 1: and as you mentioned, Notre Dame this coming week. I

1318
01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:46,840
Speaker 1: have k State minus anything against Oklahoma State. I think

1319
01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:48,880
Speaker 1: they're able to run all over them, and I have

1320
01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:55,920
Speaker 1: Nebraska just because at times defensively they've looked somewhat competent

1321
01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:58,960
Speaker 1: and Illinois has not looked somewhat competent. I think Luke

1322
01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:02,240
Speaker 1: Altmeyer's splits are five touchdowns to seven picks in this moment.

1323
01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:05,280
Speaker 1: I just think ILLINOI is too sloppy on both sides

1324
01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:08,640
Speaker 1: of the ball. I am extremely disappointed and what I

1325
01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:11,160
Speaker 1: thought was going to be not necessarily building on last

1326
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:13,600
Speaker 1: year in terms of wins after losing Ryan Walters, but

1327
01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:16,160
Speaker 1: I thought you were just going to get the continued

1328
01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:20,040
Speaker 1: concept of what Illinois is going for, and they're going

1329
01:08:20,120 --> 01:08:22,800
Speaker 1: for losing this year. So I'm going with Nebraska to

1330
01:08:22,920 --> 01:08:25,120
Speaker 1: cover this in Champagne Friday Night.

1331
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:27,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think my new rule is just

1332
01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:29,720
Speaker 2: take the home team in a Pack twelve game or

1333
01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:31,639
Speaker 2: a home dog in a Pac twelve game. So I'm

1334
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:35,200
Speaker 2: with you on col plus nine and a half. USC

1335
01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:37,360
Speaker 2: also on a bit of a letdown look ahead. I

1336
01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:40,040
Speaker 2: think that Colorado game was one that they were up

1337
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:43,840
Speaker 2: for a week ago. They didn't finish on a particularly

1338
01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:46,280
Speaker 2: strong note, but it was certainly a big game that

1339
01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:49,639
Speaker 2: people were talking about. And now Arizona coming to town,

1340
01:08:49,840 --> 01:08:52,200
Speaker 2: I have not seen the status of Jade DeLaura with

1341
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:53,479
Speaker 2: his ankle issue.

1342
01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:57,320
Speaker 1: If he plays that probably no. Well, Caffeita did a

1343
01:08:57,360 --> 01:09:00,280
Speaker 1: pretty good job against Udubb last week. The defense a

1344
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:02,800
Speaker 1: good job making Michael Pennis a little uncomfortable. Although that

1345
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:06,120
Speaker 1: score was I think Washington fumbled super deep like it

1346
01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:08,760
Speaker 1: could have been thirty eight twenty four, I think. But

1347
01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:11,559
Speaker 1: even still, I think Arizona is decent enough. They played

1348
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:13,360
Speaker 1: USC tough last year with I think they did a

1349
01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:17,160
Speaker 1: worse defense. So in this specific spot, and it's a

1350
01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:19,320
Speaker 1: late game, right, this is this is a ten thirty game.

1351
01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:21,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, this will be going on as we go live

1352
01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:23,559
Speaker 2: as part of the midnight live stream over here at

1353

Speaker 1: He needs Zona plus the number.

1357
01:09:36,439 --> 01:09:39,320
Speaker 2: Give me k State minus whatever minus one thousand against

1358
01:09:39,320 --> 01:09:42,839
Speaker 2: Oklahoma State, and I will also side with you on Nebraska.

1359
01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:44,080
Speaker 2: I don't think Illinois all that good.

1360
01:09:44,680 --> 01:09:49,840
Speaker 1: Give me one, geh me, just one, if you could

1361
01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:55,360
Speaker 1: please drop some big, stanky, heaving, panting drum and fife

1362
01:09:55,400 --> 01:10:00,880
Speaker 1: for me too. The drum and fife on super ball.

1363
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:06,920
Speaker 1: Settle it in Holy Cross Bucknell one PM Eastern ESPN plus,

1364
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:08,680
Speaker 1: who do you have? I go cross Saders? You got

1365
01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:12,439
Speaker 1: your cross Saders, big yep. Georgetown at Penn you have

1366
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:14,519
Speaker 1: written in here Lincoln Financial Fields.

1367
01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:16,080
Speaker 2: They are not playing at Lincoln Financial.

1368
01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:16,320
Speaker 3: Ah.

1369
01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:17,560
Speaker 1: I just want to see if I could get you

1370
01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:20,920
Speaker 1: on that. There's so much pizza I want to try,

1371
01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:23,160
Speaker 1: and Philly, I need to figure it out. I'm going

1372
01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:23,920
Speaker 1: with the Quakers here.

1373
01:10:24,439 --> 01:10:26,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I gotta go Georgetown. Georgetown coming off a big

1374
01:10:26,880 --> 01:10:30,000
Speaker 2: win against Fordham from a week ago. On occasion, I

1375
01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:32,800
Speaker 2: try to put in a different stadium, and I thought

1376
01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:35,560
Speaker 2: I'd keep it realistic with Lincoln Financial Field.

1377
01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:38,559
Speaker 1: Didn't it? Didst and Lafayette play at Yankee Stadium within

1378
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:40,920
Speaker 1: like the last decade we did have that. But in

1379
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:43,680
Speaker 1: the past, I'm just saying I've put like Tokyo Dome, and.

1380
01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:47,600
Speaker 2: Well, that's great, Scotia, Azteca, that type of thing. So

1381
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:48,760
Speaker 2: I finally got young one.

1382
01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:55,760
Speaker 1: What else we got here? Lafayette, Princeton, Princeton. I had

1383
01:10:55,760 --> 01:10:58,680
Speaker 1: a friend play for Princeton football, but I'm a I'm

1384
01:10:58,680 --> 01:11:01,400
Speaker 1: a Lafayette legacy. Dad went to Lafayette. I'm gonna go

1385
01:11:01,439 --> 01:11:02,200
Speaker 1: Lafayette here.

1386
01:11:02,240 --> 01:11:06,920
Speaker 2: On the Road final game Lee High at Fordham Dan for.

1387
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:10,160
Speaker 1: Him, always picking against Lee. I come on, ye, no brainer,

1388
01:11:10,360 --> 01:11:13,120
Speaker 1: got to go for him. Yes, uh, we only have

1389
01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:14,439
Speaker 1: one thing left to do.

1390
01:11:14,560 --> 01:11:15,280
Speaker 2: I can't believe I have.

1391
01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:15,880
Speaker 1: To do this again.

1392
01:11:16,040 --> 01:11:24,920
Speaker 4: TI versus the World, Time versus the World, presented by

1393
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:26,440
Speaker 4: Draft Kings Sportsbook.

1394
01:11:27,080 --> 01:11:29,920
Speaker 1: This is the surest thing in college football picking right now,

1395
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:31,040
Speaker 1: you and Andy Staples.

1396
01:11:31,200 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 2: This is the segment of the show where I make

1397
01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:37,880
Speaker 2: a fool of myself. I at one point this week

1398
01:11:38,040 --> 01:11:40,320
Speaker 2: called out to you for help, and you sort of

1399
01:11:40,479 --> 01:11:41,320
Speaker 2: you didn't want to help me.

1400
01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:43,479
Speaker 1: You didn't know me.

1401
01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:45,439
Speaker 2: You wanted you wanted to leave me out there like

1402
01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:49,160
Speaker 2: a baby bird on my own. Correct to flail and

1403
01:11:49,320 --> 01:11:51,880
Speaker 2: flap and fall down on the curb and hopefully at

1404
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:54,760
Speaker 2: some point grow feathers and pick myself back up.

1405
01:11:54,840 --> 01:11:56,960
Speaker 1: Take. I wanted you to turn. I wanted you to

1406
01:11:57,040 --> 01:11:59,920
Speaker 1: turn to your mother, who is currently sitting a top

1407
01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:02,400
Speaker 1: our pick them pool. You wanted me to call Mammy

1408
01:12:02,479 --> 01:12:02,720
Speaker 1: h for this.

1409
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:06,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, you did No Brainer again. If it doesn't get

1410
01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:07,400
Speaker 2: better this week, I'll bring her.

1411
01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:07,880
Speaker 1: On next week.

1412
01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:11,280
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll do a call in thing at that live

1413
01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:12,400
Speaker 2: at the end of the show, I don't know a

1414
01:12:12,520 --> 01:12:16,960
Speaker 2: real expert, so I feel much better about these picks.

1415
01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:21,680
Speaker 2: And I assure you I did not just copy from you,

1416
01:12:21,880 --> 01:12:24,120
Speaker 2: but these actually are four picks that we agree on

1417
01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:25,120
Speaker 2: this week.

1418
01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:27,840
Speaker 1: The first Texas Tech minus one.

1419
01:12:27,880 --> 01:12:30,080
Speaker 2: There in my lock of the week. The second is

1420
01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:33,000
Speaker 2: Missouri plus six and a half. I feel great about Missou.

1421
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:36,080
Speaker 2: I am growing ever more confident about Miszoo with each

1422
01:12:36,240 --> 01:12:40,479
Speaker 2: each passing week. Third pick is Miami big over Georgia Tech.

1423
01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:43,880
Speaker 2: Miami off a bye minus twenty and a half points

1424
01:12:43,920 --> 01:12:46,960
Speaker 2: at home against Georgia Tech. The Georgia Tech defense has

1425
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:50,000
Speaker 2: not been good, Miami minus the number. And the final

1426
01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:52,960
Speaker 2: one is Colorado Colorado minus four and a half on

1427
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:54,240
Speaker 2: the road at Arizona State.

1428
01:12:55,479 --> 01:12:57,240
Speaker 1: I like the Buffaloes.

1429
01:12:57,240 --> 01:13:01,080
Speaker 2: I didn't like the Buffaloes against US or against Oregon,

1430
01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:03,880
Speaker 2: but I certainly like them against Arizona State fair enough.

1431
01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:09,680
Speaker 2: And then there is the slow start parlay. Then I've

1432
01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:12,400
Speaker 2: been doing these parlays each week with our friends over

1433
01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:13,760
Speaker 2: at DraftKings.

1434
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:14,200
Speaker 4: And.

1435
01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:20,680
Speaker 2: I've got three first quarter unders that I think are

1436
01:13:20,760 --> 01:13:25,400
Speaker 2: intriguing to people. Okay, the first is Michigan at Minnesota.

1437
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:29,840
Speaker 2: I like Michigan to win. I like Michigan minus whatever

1438
01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:33,600
Speaker 2: ultimately against Minnesota. But it's not lost on me that

1439
01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:36,599
Speaker 2: this is a battle between two teams that play slowly,

1440
01:13:37,960 --> 01:13:41,960
Speaker 2: very slowly. These are two teams that like to play slowly.

1441
01:13:42,400 --> 01:13:46,080
Speaker 2: Two teams at least on the Minnesota and Michigan side,

1442
01:13:46,120 --> 01:13:48,600
Speaker 2: that have been a bit of a struggle early on

1443
01:13:48,840 --> 01:13:53,160
Speaker 2: to get the thing going, and in some cases that

1444
01:13:53,320 --> 01:13:56,800
Speaker 2: has caused I think some people to devalue Michigan. I

1445
01:13:56,840 --> 01:14:02,080
Speaker 2: don't think that's fair, but I feel pretty confidently that

1446
01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:03,679
Speaker 2: this will be a slow start.

1447
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:04,479
Speaker 1: That's the first one.

1448
01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:08,960
Speaker 2: The second is Kentucky at Georgia. These are also teams,

1449
01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:12,559
Speaker 2: two teams that play slowly. Under ten and a half points,

1450
01:14:12,720 --> 01:14:14,679
Speaker 2: by the way, under ten and a half for Michigan

1451
01:14:14,720 --> 01:14:16,960
Speaker 2: and Minnesota in the first quarter, under ten and a

1452
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:20,960
Speaker 2: half as well for Kentucky and Georgia in the first quarter.

1453
01:14:21,600 --> 01:14:25,519
Speaker 2: And then also, if we are talking about the King,

1454
01:14:25,760 --> 01:14:29,920
Speaker 2: the Mother, the Krem de le Krem of all things

1455
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:33,599
Speaker 2: slow starting, let's talk about Purdue in Iowa, Okay under

1456
01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:37,360
Speaker 2: seven and a half first quarter. Combine all that together,

1457
01:14:37,439 --> 01:14:38,960
Speaker 2: it's about four or four and a half to one

1458
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:44,559
Speaker 2: under under all three first quarter lines in the Michigan

1459
01:14:44,680 --> 01:14:45,519
Speaker 2: Minnesota game.

1460
01:14:45,400 --> 01:14:48,519
Speaker 1: The Kentucky you're telling me that's the total under total under. Yeah,

1461
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:51,800
Speaker 1: so seven and a half points total scored in the

1462
01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:54,000
Speaker 1: first quarter between Iowa Perdue. Yeah.

1463
01:14:55,400 --> 01:14:56,080
Speaker 2: What a number?

1464
01:14:56,439 --> 01:14:56,920
Speaker 1: What a number?

1465
01:14:56,920 --> 01:14:59,040
Speaker 2: What an absolute number? Okay, a number?

1466
01:14:59,240 --> 01:14:59,840
Speaker 1: What a number?

1467
01:15:00,240 --> 01:15:03,960
