11
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: football is here, my friend.

12
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is where when we get paid, we really

13
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,599
Speaker 1: shouldn't because don't tell the bosses I got I know,

14
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: I know, I'm letting he don't say anything. Yeah. So

15
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: this is this twenty four hour span. This will be

16
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: my fourth, fifth and sixth hour is on the air.

17
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: I started today on the air in for Bernie Frato

18
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: Urpal and now we're going to finish the night. So

19
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: I kind of bookended today on Fox Sports Radio and

20
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: I set it off the top of that show. It's

21
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 1: just like, how in the world do I find myself

22
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: in a position where I get to sit around and

23
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: watch college football with a purpose beyond just the enjoyment

24
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: of it. But this is where like there's just you

25
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: talk about extra kind of springing your voice, the same

26
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: thing with me, Like I just the fact that I've

27
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: been able to just go channel surfing game to game

28
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 1: to game to game all day long, and there's been

29
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: something compelling in every window, even if the results a

30
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: lot of them, a lot of the games weren't competitive,

31
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: there's been compelling storylines and just football everywhere. This is

32
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: truly the best timeline.

33
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: It is the best timeline. It is officially week one.

34
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 2: We dipped our toes in the water last week with

35
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: Week zero obviously a top ten upset in Dublin, Florida

36
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: State losing to Georgia Tech. But today, you know, there

37
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 2: hasn't been that crazy, crazy upset. By the way, we

38
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: do have a top twenty five matchup coming down to

39
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 2: the wire. Two minutes left, Notre Dame at Texas A

40
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: and M.

41
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 3: Notre Dame is in the.

42
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 2: Red zone or basically right on the verge of the

43
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 2: red zone trying to score and take the lead, and they.

44
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 3: Have actually just taken the lead.

45
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: Notre Dame puts the ball in the end zone one

46
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: fifty four to go.

47
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 3: They have themselves a.

48
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 2: Nineteen thirteen lead, extra point pending, so that could be

49
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 2: a big one. J Mart, We're going to keep an

50
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 2: eye on that one, and we'll obviously react in real time.

51
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: This would be a huge win for Notre Dame. They

52
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,119
Speaker 2: don't have the greatest schedule going and this is kind

53
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 2: of an important win for them. Obviously, Also the first

54
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 2: game of the Mike Elko Era at Texas A and M,

55
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 2: So we're gonna keep you updated on this. Notre Dame

56
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 2: has just taken the lead nineteen thirteen at College Station,

57
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 2: a minute fIF four left. But let's go ahead and

58
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 2: get to some of the stuff that happened earlier in

59
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 2: the day. Biggest story, I guess you would say, and

60
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 2: I think it's big for two different reasons, is that

61
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 2: we had a really big matchup in the swamp. Miami

62
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 2: the nineteenth ranked team in the country. Many people you

63
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: and I both have picked them to win the ACC

64
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 2: but they go to Florida. They're about a two to

65
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 2: two and a half point favorite, depending on what sportsbook

66
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 2: you looked at. J Mart, and they just destroyed the

67
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 2: Florida Gators. Billy Napier obviously on the hot seat back

68
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 2: to back losing seasons. Florida with three straight losing seasons

69
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: coming into this year, first time that had happened since

70
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 2: the nineteen forties. Billy Napier needed a Marque win to

71
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 2: start his third season because the schedule he gets tougher

72
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: from here. Instead, they get embarrassed. We're gonna go ahead,

73
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 2: j mart In a little bit and talk about the

74
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: Miami side of things, or you tell me what do

75
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 2: you think is the more important part.

76
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna words in your mouth.

77
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 2: Is it Miami looking awesome and maybe the ACC as

78
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: a real team, or is it Florida looking like this

79
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: could be a long season in a year where Billy

80
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: and Apier can't afford to have one.

81
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I think both of them are true. I

82
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: think that you can look at Miami first and just say,

83
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: after watching Clemson and after watching Florida State, your pick

84
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: of Miami winning the ACC looks better to me today.

85
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: Like I was impressed with cam Ward, I was impressed

86
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: with the way that they just absolutely walked in and

87
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: demolished them in the swamp, but like bigger long term,

88
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: because I don't think even if Miami is good. I

89
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: don't think Miami's gonna win a championship this year. Napier,

90
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: I don't see him surviving, and I don't know that

91
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: they even survived the entire year. Like the problem for Florida,

92
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: you talked about their schedule. This is legit one of

93
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: the toughest schedules I've ever seen. So they lose to

94
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: Miami here, they'll beat Sanford next week, but then they

95
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: play Texas A and m Texas A and m is

96
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: gonna be tough. Then it's a Mississippi State and against

97
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: Central Florida. But then after that, one, two, three, four, five,

98
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: six of their last seven games are against preseason ranked

99
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: teams in the top twenty. They play at Tennessee and

100
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: then they go to Kentucky, which you know Kentucky is

101
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: usually a tough one. But then they get Georgia at

102
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: Texas LSU, all miss at Florida State. Those are their

103
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: last five games. They could easily lose all seven of

104
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: those games, like they could even lose to Kentucky and

105
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: they probably won't. But you look at that schedule. The

106
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: only guaranteed wins at this stage, there's only like two

107
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: or three on the schedule that you would even feel

108
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 1: particularly good about. So, I mean, you win three games

109
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: at Florida. I mean, Napier was a red hot name

110
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 1: coming out of Louisiana and I still think he can coach.

111
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: But this is not working out at all. And this

112
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: right here, not just getting beat but getting beaten like that,

113
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: Miami putting up points they don't put up against Florida.

114
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: That's a bad look. Man. That's gonna be tough to overcome.

115
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, and I think that's the thing is

116
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 2: first off, you just you needed this win if you

117
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 2: were Florida simply because of the fact that the schedule

118
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 2: just get so tough.

119
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 3: But you know, beyond that, I just think you.

120
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 2: Needed it for momentum, for this to give your players

121
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 2: and your fans are reason to remain confident, right because look,

122
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 2: we all look at these schedules on paper and we

123
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 2: all sit there and say, oh, it's impossible, and they

124
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 2: have this many teams ranked against this many opponents. It's like,

125
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 2: but you know, how the season goes and as it

126
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 2: at wears on all of a sudden, if you win

127
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 2: this game today and they didn't, which is obvious, but

128
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 2: you win this game, all of a sudden, you look

129
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 2: at it different, right, because look, you know, Texas A

130
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 2: and M's losing at home, and now all of a sudden,

131
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 2: maybe they're a winnable game in Florida States, maybe not

132
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 2: as good as we thought, and we'll see what happens

133
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 2: down the road. But you lose this game in the

134
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 2: manner in which you did, is I just I'm just

135
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 2: curious what the fan vibe even is, because again, three

136
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 2: or excuse four of your first five are at home,

137
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 2: and like, if I'm a Florida fan, I'm not spending

138
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty three hundred bucks whatever it is,

139
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 2: you know, spending my day in two weeks when Texas

140
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 2: A and M comes to town buying tickets, traveling down

141
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,679
Speaker 2: you know, from wherever I'm from, parking, food, concessions, whatever.

142
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 2: And that's where I think it gets. It gets treacherous.

143
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 2: Is you had the fan base in the palm of

144
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 2: your hand today. It's like every other fan base in

145
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 2: college football. You convince them over the offseason things are

146
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 2: gonna be different, things are gonna be better, and if

147
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 2: you win this game, you.

148
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 3: Have so much momentum. Instead it's the opposite.

149
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 2: You lose this game and now you have everybody doing

150
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 2: exactly what you and I are doing, Jason to saying,

151
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: and Miami might be good, but if it was this

152
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 2: bad against Miami, it ain't gonna be better against LSU,

153
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 2: and it ain't gonna better against Texas. It ain't gonna

154
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 2: better against Georgia, certainly. And that's where the concern is

155
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 2: for billion Apier is is I just don't know how

156
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 2: you instill confidence in your players or your fan base

157
00:07:59,040 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 2: after a loss like today.

158
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's right. And it's not even that you lost,

159
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: it's that you've got outclassed. Like if you lose an

160
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: all time classic or lose a tight game at home

161
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: to a good Miami team or a team that's playing

162
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: at a high level. I think it's different. When you

163
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: get drubbed forty one seventeen and you have a quarterback

164
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: change in the second half of that football game in

165
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: week one at home, you've got it. I mean, you've

166
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: got the commentators on television telling jokes and just continually

167
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: showing this one fan you just look like the status

168
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: human being in the world in the second half of

169
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: the game, and like watching his machinations like that can't

170
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: be the way it goes of Florida like they can't

171
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: tolerate that. And again, when you look at the rest

172
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: of that schedule, when you only have two three games

173
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: on it where you really feel like, oh, well, Florida

174
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: will win that. Outside of that, all of them are

175
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: going to be dogfights. At best Man nothing against Napier,

176
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: but there's no way he's there next year.

177
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 2: Well, and I think the other thing too, is so one.

178
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 2: They did get absolutely out of class today. But but

179
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 2: the thing is he's done this to himself because I mean,

180
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 2: you go back to last year, and this is my

181
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 2: problem with him and with the state of the program

182
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 2: is you know, first of all, let me even backtrack

183
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 2: to this. It's year three, which okay, whatever, but it's

184
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 2: also Mario Christopaul's year three. And I think that's another

185
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 2: thing that you know, you know this, But I think

186
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 2: as as we transition, well the Florida message message boards

187
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 2: are on fire right now, but as we transition into

188
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: tomorrow and Monday, be one thing again, if this was

189
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 2: if this was year one for you'd be one thing.

190
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 2: If this was year six seven for Mario christ Paal.

191
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 2: He got through the exact same time as you and

192
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 2: the two teams. You said this, Jason, they didn't even look.

193
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 2: It wasn't even competitive, not just from a final score perspective.

194
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 2: Miami just had better players at every spot on the field. Yes,

195
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 2: and you're the Florida Gators. This isn't supposed to happen,

196
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 2: by the way, final yardage totals five hundred and twenty

197
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 2: nine yards for Miami, two hundred and sixty one for Florida.

198
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 2: And here's the crazy part. They had a seventy one

199
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: yard touchdown run middle of the second quarter. So you

200
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 2: take out the seventy one yard touchdown run we're talking about,

201
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: you know, we're talking about I'm looking at now one

202
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 2: hundred and ninety yards of total offense the first game

203
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 2: of year three at home, Jay Mark, the Florida.

204
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 3: Gators, the Florida Gators.

205
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 2: I'm sorry to yelling screen, but it's that bad and

206
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 2: it's that pressing right now, for lack of a better term.

207
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the further you get away from it, the

208
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: more behind you fall. And when you look at nil,

209
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,839
Speaker 1: it's not like Florida alums aren't aren't gonna spring to

210
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: bring somebody in and certainly, you know, do whatever they

211
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 1: have to do to field a competitive team, but the

212
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: sec waters are even deeper than they've ever been. The

213
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: East has gotten better around Florida, while Florida has fallen

214
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: into a position I just don't think anybody saw coming.

215
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 1: They just had a couple of highers in a row

216
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: that just totally didn't work. And you mentioned it, Yeah,

217
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: he's kind of put this on himself. I just don't

218
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: see them. There's not a way where I look at

219
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: this and say, well, they can climb out of this hole.

220
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: They can't. The hole's too deep because of what they

221
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: have coming up. They don't have the talent that's going

222
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,719
Speaker 1: to be able to compete with the schedule that they

223
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: have in front of them. They have a couple of guys,

224
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: but again in the second half, they had a quarterback

225
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 1: in the game that sort of sparked them for a

226
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 1: little while. But all you had heard for months was

227
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: that Graham Mertz was excited about the season and reading

228
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: articles about boy, they're looking at a fresh start and

229
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 1: all this, and they got absolutely hammered in their first

230
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: game against an end state opponent who's going to be

231
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: competing for similar recruits. That doesn't help your case either.

232
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: And again, like one team looked like a college football team,

233
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: and the other one, I don't know what it looked like.

234
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 2: A couple of things going on right now. We have

235
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 2: a final Hawaii where UCLA their first game as a

236
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 2: Big ten member. They have won sixteen to thirteen. Look

237
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 2: like a potential walk offf field goal there. I may

238
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 2: have missed it, but they win sixteen thirteen in that one.

239
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 2: Texas A and m was not able to convert Miami.

240
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 2: Eric's even not Miami. Notre Dame has the ball with

241
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 2: under a minute to go and it looks like they're

242
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 2: gonna potentially hold on. It's fourth and five. They have

243
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 2: just called the timeout, so Notre Dame up twenty to thirteen.

244
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 2: They will have a chance to kick a field goal

245
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 2: to take a ten point lead with thirty seconds to go.

246
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 2: That would obviously seal the game. Will keep you updated

247
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 2: on that. We will keep you updated on everything going

248
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,839
Speaker 2: on in a busy neut of college football. By the way,

249
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 2: Big ten Network has some live programming as Washington has

250
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 2: just kicked off its first game as a messer.

251
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 3: So weird, So weird.

252
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 2: Big ten Network with going straight from Oregon to Washington.

253
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 2: Tell you what Jason will come back talk a little

254
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 2: bit about the Miami perspective of Saturday afternoon, but also, ooh,

255
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 2: Miami's Can we call them a conference rival because I

256
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 2: know they don't look like much of a rival right now. Clemson,

257
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 2: they played the number one team in the country in

258
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 2: the Georgia Bulldogs. You talk about getting out classed. We're

259
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 2: gonna discuss that next week. One is here. There's so

260

274
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:52,600

290
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 2: As we were going off air to commercial break, we

291
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 2: did have Notre Dame lining up for a field goal.

292
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 2: They were up twenty to thirteen. Field goal is good,

293
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 2: time has expired. Notre Dame wins twenty three to thirteen

294
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 2: at Texas A and M. This is one of three

295
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 2: top twenty five matchups in Week one and Jay Mar

296
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 2: just want to spend a half a second on this

297
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 2: one because I do think it's important. Right, we were

298
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 2: in this twelve team playoff era and for people I

299
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 2: think everybody knows by this point, but the way the

300
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 2: playoff works, five automatic bids to conference champions. The first

301
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 2: four conference the highest ranked four conference champions get that

302
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 2: first round by that obviously means Notre Dame is ineligible

303
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 2: for a first round by But at the same time,

304
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 2: I'll tell you this. You look at their schedule, other

305
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 2: big games on the schedule outside of A and M,

306
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 2: and we'll see if A and M's good. By the way,

307
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 2: we don't know first year under Mike Elco, but Florida

308
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 2: State in a couple months or a couple of weeks,

309
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 2: excuse me, or late October early November, Florida State doesn't

310
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 2: look as good as we expected USC to end the year.

311
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 2: Those are their only top twenty five games on the schedule.

312
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 2: And so you start talking about a program that isn't

313
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 2: gonna have a ton of opportunities, at least not on paper,

314
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 2: to impress whole stirs and voters and the people that

315
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 2: matter on that committee room. I think this is kind

316
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 2: of an important win for Notre Dame from that perspective.

317
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think you're exactly right. I don't

318
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: really have much to add to it. I think you

319
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: just don't. As you said, like you have to have

320
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: some statement wins, and you have to win the ones

321
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: that actually raise an eyebrow here and there. We don't

322
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: know what Texas A and M will be by the

323
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: end of the year, but to beat them in their building,

324
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: to open the season on a night where look your offense,

325
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: Your offense struggled a bit, their's struggled even more, which

326
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: I think was a credit to your defense. I mean,

327
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: Connor Wegman went twelve to thirty for one hundred yards

328
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: with two interceptions. Those were his numbers. And Riley Leonard,

329
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: who did the postgame interview, was eighteen to thirty for

330
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: one fifty eighty and have a touchdown order interception in

331
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: the game. But you still end up winning on the

332
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: road against an SEC opponent, and I think that's the

333
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: first time that's happened since like two thousand and four

334
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: for Notre Dame they beat Tennessee. So yes, like these

335
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: are the ones that help you, like beating some of

336
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:08,959
Speaker 1: these teams that they're going to have in a row.

337
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: When you have Northern Illinois, Purdue Miami of Ohio. Maybe

338
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: Louisville's good and they put up sixty two points today,

339
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: but you're right, especially if Florida State is not very good,

340
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: what's that win going to be By the time they

341
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: get to it. Sc will find out. We'll see what

342
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: SC is by the time you get to the end

343
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: of the year. But you could see a scenario. I'm

344
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 1: not saying this will happen, but you could see a

345
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 1: scenario where this win is the most impressive one that

346
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: they've had all year. By the time you get to

347
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: the end of the year.

348
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 3: There's no doubt.

349
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 2: And I think the thing is is that you and

350
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 2: I dropped our twelve team playoff predictions last last week,

351
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 2: and I think there's this kind of thought that you know, hey,

352
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 2: twelve is three times what we had with four, and

353
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 2: everybody's gonna get in and this team is gonna But

354
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 2: it's like you start to look like, say Notre Dame

355
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 2: loses this game, right, and say say they lose this game,

356
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 2: and say they take some weird loss middle of the

357
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 2: year whatever, pick a team, and then, like you said,

358
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 2: you start looking up and it's like, hey, the MPD,

359
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 2: A and M and you know your best win is

360
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 2: Florida State and they're eight and four, seven and five,

361
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 2: and it's like then you start comparing them with say,

362
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,479
Speaker 2: let's say a ten and two Old Miss team that

363
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 2: did beat A and M. You know, like like and

364
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you think you're Notre Dame. You're

365
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 2: ten and two, You're good to go, and it's like, well,

366
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 2: we're the great wins. And then of course you lost

367
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 2: to an SEC team. And you know, obviously A and

368
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 2: M is playing LSU. A and M is playing Missouri.

369
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,959
Speaker 2: A and M is playing Old Miss. And so that

370
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 2: is why I do think that win was very important

371
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 2: for Notre Dame just because again, you don't have a

372
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 2: ton of chances on your schedule to get great wins.

373
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 2: They get what looks like it is going to be

374
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 2: a great win. We'll see. But again, as we get

375
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 2: deeper into the season, you look at Texas A and

376
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 2: M schedule, A lot of those teams that we think

377
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 2: are going to be in the playoff picture out of

378
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 2: the SEC, Missouri, LSU, Texas, A couple others are playing

379
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 2: A and M throughout the year. Really quickly, let's stay

380
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 2: you know, Notre Dame is not in the ACC, but

381
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,919
Speaker 2: they play a lot of ACC teams. I just want

382
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 2: to put a bow on the Florida Miami conversation because

383
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 2: as bad as Florida was, you know, I want to

384
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 2: just take a moment give a little credit where it's due,

385
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 2: because you look at Miami and it's like, I, listen,

386
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 2: I picked them to win the ACC.

387
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 3: I believe you did as well. But I thought I

388
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 3: picked Florida win this game.

389
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 2: I'll be perfectly honest, and I thought it was a

390
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 2: scenario where, Okay, the ACC is a little bit down Miami.

391
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 2: Cam Ward he's an accomplished quarterback at Washington State, but

392
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 2: at the same time, he knew program going on the road,

393
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 2: crazy environment as disappointed as I was in Florida, And

394
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 2: we spent the first segment talking about the Florida perspective.

395
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,360
Speaker 2: This Miami team looks really, really, really good. And I'm

396
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 2: not saying that you get him into a college football

397
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 2: playoff they're beating Georgia, or they're beating Ohio State or

398
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 2: whoever you deem to be the best of the But

399
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 2: I'll also say this, it wasn't that long ago that

400
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 2: they were five and seven two years ago. Last year,

401
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 2: they you know, they they the win loss record was improved,

402
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 2: but you know, you really look at the season as

403
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 2: a whole, you know, I think it was more about

404
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 2: the weird not taking a knee like they went seven

405
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 2: and five last year, but there were no like, Okay,

406
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 2: this this program is definitely on an upwort trajectory. Moment

407
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 2: bring it up, because today felt like, you know, that

408
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 2: is at the very least, a very very very talented

409
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 2: team in a league that has a lot of question

410
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 2: marks right now.

411
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 3: And they looked really good.

412
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 1: Jamarin, Yeah, they did. And Ward looked apart. He made

413
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: some really nice throws in the game, kept some plays alive.

414
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 1: They just they looked athletic, and they looked ready for

415
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: Week one. And there are always going to be a

416
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: couple of teams that come out of the gates a

417
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 1: little bit sluggish. Miami looked apart from moment one, and

418
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 1: you look at the rest of the acc that wasn't true.

419
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 1: I mean, NC State had a rough go on Thursday night.

420
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 1: Clemson we'll talk about here momentarily. Florida State has already lost.

421
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 1: I mean Georgia text to and O. But that definitely

422
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: puts you in a good place. I picked Clemson to

423
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 1: win a Conference, and I don't feel good about that

424
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 1: at all, and I know we're about to get into

425
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: that in a larger scale. But that's why I credited

426
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: you off the top, because I think you're right. I

427
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: think Miami is probably going to end up being the

428
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: best team in the ACC. Now we'll see whether or

429
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: not the win loss record actually totals it out that way,

430
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 1: but they're the team that actually looked electric to me,

431
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,959
Speaker 1: and they were playing against a real opponent, and they

432
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: were playing them on the road in a massively hostile

433
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: environment and they come away with an A plus.

434
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 2: Well, i'll tell you what, Jason. You did mention the

435
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 2: Clemson Tigers. By the way, I think I did think

436
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 2: that you had picked Miami. But you know what doesn't

437
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 2: really matter. The bottom line is, even though I picked Miami,

438
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 2: I did not pick them to win this game, and

439
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 2: I did not think cam Ward would look as awesome

440
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 2: as he did. But you didn't match the Clemson Tigers.

441
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, Jason. Let's come back. Let's discuss Clemson,

442
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 2: because yes, they played the number one team in the

443
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 2: country on Saturday, but at the same time, it wasn't

444
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 2: just that they lost, but the manner in which they did.

445
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 2: We're gonna discuss that next before we do though, first

446
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 2: time this evening, let's toss it to the news desk,

447
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 2: the seger. You're always a pro, but you gotta admit

448
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 2: a night like tonight.

449
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 3: Oh it's great. The juices are just flowing abstant sorry.

450
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 6: All day, all night. Absolutely. Let's start with some of

451
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 6: the day games in college football. Number one Georgia thirty

452
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 6: four to three over Clemson in a game that was

453
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 6: six nothing Bulldogs at the half. Clemson's offense ten drives,

454
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 6: no touchdowns. In fact, for Clemson, the first nine drives,

455
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 6: they only had nine first downs. Attendance in Atlanta seventy

456
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 6: nine thousand Carson Back two touchdown passes in the win.

457
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 6: Georgia has won forty straight regular season games. Tonight, Oregon

458
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 6: preseason number three, somehow, only led Idaho seventeen to fourteen,

459
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 6: was six minutes to go, beat him twenty four to fourteen.

460
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 6: Dylan Gabriel forty one to forty nine, passing three hundred

461
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 6: eighty yards two touchdowns. He was sacked three times, one fumble. Oregon,

462
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 6: on the stat sheet, had a first downs advantage of

463
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 6: thirty one to ten, and yet it was a close

464
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 6: game in the fourth quarter seventh rank Notre Dame with

515
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 2: It is a great time of year. One game just

516
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 2: when final had producer Pat switch a TV to get

517
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,199
Speaker 2: another game on. It's that time of year. It is

518
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 2: so fun. Well it's fun unless you're a Clemson Tigers fan.

519
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 2: Because it was not pretty today in Atlanta, at least

520
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 2: not in the second half. J Mart So Clemson, I

521
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 2: mentioned A and M. Notre Dame is one of three

522
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 2: matchups of ranked opponents this weekend. We get USC LSU

523
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 2: on Saturday. But the early one Georgia Clemson started out well.

524
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 2: Clemson first couple possessions looked every bit. The part had

525
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 2: Carson Beck a little bit shook. We're doing what they

526
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 2: had to do was tied nothing nothing after the first quarter,

527
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 2: held Georgia to a couple field goals. In the second quarter,

528
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 2: Clemson trail just six nothing at halftime. Then the second

529
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 2: half happened.

530
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it sure did, twenty eight to three.

531
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 2: The Georgia Bulldogs outscore Clemson. Georgia ends up winning thirty

532
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 2: four to three. And for a Clemson team we just

533
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 2: talked about a Florida program. It's different, but Florida looking

534
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 2: for any sort of positive momentum. Clemson's coming off a

535
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 2: disappointing four loss season a year ago. This ain't the

536
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 2: way you want to start.

537
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: Jmark. No, we were messaging during the game, particularly in

538
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: the first half, and I sent you a message. At

539
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: one point I said, boy, you know, if they would

540
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 1: stop committing penalties and throwing the ball short of the

541
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: first down marker repeatedly, they might have something here, because

542
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: this Georgia team looks beatable right now. That was in

543
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: the first half. They had a couple of penalties that

544
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: killed a few drives, and I remember sending you a

545
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: message with about a minute left in the first half,

546
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: and I said, I think they blew the opportunity they had.

547
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: The one thing you're not going to get very often

548
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: is opportunities to exploit Georgia, but they actually had them.

549
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 1: In the first half of that game. Georgia came out

550
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 1: a little bit flat. They weren't moving the ball particularly well,

551
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: and Clemson's defense was playing well. But then you have

552
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: procedure penalties and off sides penalties and just bad stuff

553
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: left and right. They shot themselves in the foot repeatedly,

554
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: and then Georgia woke up because Georgia has the extra

555
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: gear and once the depth began to show, Clemson looked gassed.

556
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 1: About midway through the third quarter, and it was a

557
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 1: laugher at that point, Like that first half looked like, Okay,

558
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: george is not at their best. Clemson's playing pretty well

559
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 1: on defense. If they can do anything on offense, and

560
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 1: then that was a problem because they couldn't do anything

561
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: on offense. I mean, they couldn't move the football consistently

562
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: down the field, and when they did it ended up

563
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: coming back. I mean it was just And what's weird

564
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: about it is this Clempson only had three penalties in

565
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: the game, but it felt like they had thirty because

566
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: it just seemed to me like every time they did

567
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: something right, something ended up kind of going against them

568
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: to where they lost it. But overall, that Clempson team

569
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: in the second half, that was not a good football

570
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: team at all. Like that, they did not have anything

571
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: for Georgia, and when Georgia did hit, it hit the

572
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: extra gear. You saw the difference between an elite program

573
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: and one that's kind of trying to hang on for

574
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: dear life. Yeah.

575
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 2: Clemson finishes with one hundred and eighty eight yards of

576
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 2: total offense. In terms of the rushing yardage, forty six

577
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 2: yards rushing on twenty three carries. Not great at math,

578
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 2: but that comes out to two yards per carry.

579
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

580
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.

581
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 2: And first of all, I'll say this, there was absolutely

582
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 2: a killer penalty. Like you said that, it felt like

583
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 2: there were more.

584
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 3: There was one. I want to say.

585
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 2: It was what like late first quarter, j Mart, I mean,

586
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 2: I know, you know it's one I'm talking about where

587
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 2: they pick up a it was tied zero zero, they

588
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,239
Speaker 2: pick up a big chunk play on third down. It

589
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 2: feels like they have all the momentum, and then sure

590
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 2: enough they're called for an illegal formation penalty. They end

591
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 2: up having a punt. Now, they ended up holding Georgia

592
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 2: to a field goal, but they just never got the

593
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 2: momentum him back after that.

594
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and it was bad. It was bad. I mean,

595
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: what you're talking about the procedure penalty. There's just a

596
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: receiver that wasn't lined up on the line of scrimmage.

597
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: He was like a half yard off and it raced

598
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: it and the receiver was nowhere near the play like

599
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: he had nothing to do with the play whatsoever. That's

600
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: just the kind of thing you can't do if you're

601
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 1: going to beat at Georgia, if you're gonna beat one

602
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: of those teams, if they give you a little bit

603
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: of breathing room or a window, you got to take

604
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: it because you can't assume that you're ever going to

605
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: have another one. And when they blew about two or

606
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: three opportunities where Georgia kind of was playing c minus ball.

607
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: For Georgia, you just said, okay, well they've given them

608
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: their shot, so now if they blow them out, it's

609
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: not going to be a surprise. And that's what happened.

610
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: I mean, that second half was embarrassing. That that was

611
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: as bad as it can get for a team that

612
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: still has very high hopes in Clemson. But I came

613
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: out of that thinking, yeah, you guys are not ready

614
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: for prime time.

615
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 2: Well, and I think there's an important distinction with this

616
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 2: game as well, because a lot of people would sit

617
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 2: there and say two things. One, it's Georgia, they're awesome

618
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 2: out this and that. And two also, I think there

619
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 2: would be the argument of hey, it's the twelve team

620
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 2: playoff era, and you know all they gotta do is

621
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 2: win the ACC. Here's the thing, though, they're not Georgia Tech,

622
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 2: they're not Wake Forest, they're not Boston College. Where, yeah,

623
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 2: if you win the ACC and you go to the

624
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 2: College Football Playoff, that's an incredible.

625
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 3: See even Miami, I think of Miami was to win the.

626
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 2: ACC but lose in the first round of the College

627
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 2: FOOTBA Playoff, that's still a wildly successful season for a

628
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 2: program that hasn't been relevant on a national scale in

629
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 2: a long time. The difference is Clemson was quite literally

630
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 2: Georgia like three years ago. Like you know, Jaybart, I

631
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 2: think the first show you and I ever did was

632
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 2: the one in twenty twenty one, the season opener when

633
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 2: Clemson and Georgia played and the final score was ten

634
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 2: ten to three, and they were every bit the equal

635
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 2: of Georgia. Georgia goes on to win that first national

636
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 2: championship that year. But this is again, this isn't a

637
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 2: team that historically is just happy winning the conference, and

638
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 2: obviously in this era, winning the conference means uh playing

639
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 2: playing in that college football playoff. This is a team

640
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 2: that was Georgia, that was Alabama's equal, that was Ohio

641
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 2: State's equal not that long ago. And so to see

642
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 2: how big that gap has become, how quickly it's become.

643
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 2: I understand, this is a twelve team playoff era. I

644
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 2: understand if they rip off a bunch of wins in

645
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 2: the ACC and they win that conference, they're still in

646
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 2: the playoff, but there's still miles behind who they were

647
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 2: three four years ago, and they're miles behind the best

648
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 2: teams in college football.

649
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: Yeah they are. I mean they you just you don't know. Look,

650
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: when you play against Georgia, a lot of teams are

651
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: gonna look bad. And I don't think they were as

652
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: bad as we saw it today. But you just don't

653
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 1: see anything game changing out there. You don't see just

654
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: the Clemson program that won two championships is way in

655
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: a rearview now like that that team has lost at

656
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: least a degree of what they had, like the swag

657
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: and the way that they kind of carried themselves, the attitude,

658
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: the culture, the expectation when you saw them play. Now

659
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: when I see them play, if they lose, I'm never

660
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: going to be surprised. If they win, it's not generally

661
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: gonna surprise me either. But they're just kind of one

662
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: of those programs now that's just very much kind of

663
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: middle of the road, a little bit above average, but

664
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: a shell of what it used to be and maybe

665
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: still riding a little bit too high on the successes

666
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: of the pass.

667
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 3: No doubt about it.

668
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 2: And again, I think there's going to be a lot

669
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 2: of teams that will be happy to just make it

670
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 2: to the College Football PLAYFF and maybe this year it

671
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 2: will be enough for Clemson. But even if that's the case,

672
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 2: it'll show you how far the program's fall in the fan.

673
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 2: I'm not speaking for Clemson fans. I'm just saying that

674
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 2: shows you how far the fan base has fallen, where

675
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 2: it's like, Okay, well we're the ACC champs, but we're

676
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 2: nowhere close to the top of the sport. So Clemson

677
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 2: ends up losing thirty four to three, as I mentioned,

678
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty eight yards of total offense. Tell

679
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 2: you what, ja, mart we will come back. We got more.

680
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 2: We got so much more to talk about. There were

681
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 2: some near upsets in the Big Ten, by the way,

682
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,439
Speaker 2: one Big Ten team that you and I maybe don't

683
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 2: like so much.

684
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe maybe maybe.

685
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,280
Speaker 1: As yeah, maybe.

686
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll discuss it all next. Eron Torris Jason Martin.

687
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,320
Speaker 2: First week of college football. It's so good Fox Sports Radio.

688
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,879
Speaker 2: Welcome back everybody, Fox Sports Radio. Aeron Torris Jason Martin,

689
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 2: broadcasting live from the ty iraq dot com studio. So

690
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 2: much college football, including, by the way, the first ever

691
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 2: Big Ten after dark game out in Washington, zero zero

692
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 2: after director. Around the end of the first quarter. They're

693
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 2: playing Weber State Washington. Of course, the National Runners up

694
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 2: a year ago, Klin de Boor leaves, Jedfish comes in.

695
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 2: I think the stat is Jmart Washington has two starters

696
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 2: back out of twenty two from last year's national runner up. Obviously,

697
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 2: you know a lot, I mean a lot of them

698
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 2: are just in the pros between Michael Penni's from Adunzay,

699
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 2: et cetera.

700
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 3: But it might be a long season for them.

701
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:15,720
Speaker 2: By the way, it was funny I saw a tweet

702
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 2: that reminded me of what we were talking about earlier.

703
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 2: Stuart Mandel from the Athletics said, there's been a lot

704
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 2: of jarring things over the last two days, but watching

705
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 2: an after dark game on the Big ten network may

706
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 2: take the cake.

707
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: So definitely strange, and like watching the SEC patch on

708
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 1: the or sorry, the ACC patch on the Stanford uniforms.

709
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 1: That was super weird. By the way, there's an SEC

710
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 1: game on right now that was delayed deeply, so Kentucky's

711
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: playing at eleven forty nine Eastern time as well. So yep,

712
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: this is the time slot brother. Like I said it

713
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: this morning when I was filling in for Bernie, it

714
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: was just our time slot is just gold because we

715
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 1: get to react to so much and a lot of

716
00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,879
Speaker 1: times things are happening in real time. They are.

717
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 2: By the way, Arizona and Arizona State playing right now.

718
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 2: I know I shouldn't be weirded out because it's probably

719
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 2: among the not top thirty most weird things, but even

720
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 2: seeing the big twelve logo on the Arizona field is strange.

721
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,399
Speaker 2: By the way, I've been told, I did not see

722
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 2: it that Washington State and Oregon State have a PAC

723
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 2: twelve logo still on their field.

724
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: I mean, oh my goodness.

725
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 3: Well, I mean they are still in the Pack two.

726
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: That's well, I mean, that's sad.

727
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 3: It is.

728
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: It's sad that it's sort of true.

729
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 3: It is.

730
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 2: I don't know what the alternative is. I mean, do

731
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 2: you just do the PAC two? Do you do no logo?

732
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 2: I don't know, you know, I don't know what's going

733
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 2: on there. But anyway, a lot of college football going on.

734
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 2: By the way, we mentioned Washington has just kicked off. Jmart,

735
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 2: you know, I was driving in to the studio and

736
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,280
Speaker 2: you kind of tipped me off to the Oregon Ducks,

737
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:55,439
Speaker 2: who listen top five team in the country. A lot

738
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 2: of people, including me, have them, you know, deep in

739
00:36:57,920 --> 00:36:59,280
Speaker 2: the college football playoff.

740
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 1: That's right both to barely.

741
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 2: Surviving against the Idaho Vandals. Oregon wins twenty four to

742
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 2: twenty four to fourteen is the final score. But this

743
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 2: was a game that was fourteen to seven going into

744
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter and Idaho excuse me, scored with under

745
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 2: ten minutes to go to make it a seventeen to

746
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 2: fourteen game. So Oregon had a field goal lead with

747
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 2: the ball in about nine minutes to go. I don't

748
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 2: know if you were watching this play by play, minute

749
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 2: by minute, but did you see anything that would cause

750
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:38,760
Speaker 2: concern for you or you think this is just opening

751
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 2: game jitters.

752
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's there's probably something to the latter,

753
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,919
Speaker 1: Like they still won the game. You never know what's

754
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: going to happen in week one. You got a brand

755
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: new quarterback. He's really good, but he's working with a

756
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: lot of new people, and he still went forty one

757
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: to forty nine, passing for well over three hundred yards,

758
00:37:58,040 --> 00:37:59,760
Speaker 1: and when they had to have it, he made plays

759
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: for them down the stretch. You heard Di Seger mention,

760
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 1: it's not like Idaho was chewing up the yards and

761
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: going up and down the field. It just felt like

762
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: Oregon wasn't finishing drives and Idaho was playing a little

763
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: bit above themselves. You end up winning a game, though,

764
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,720
Speaker 1: I don't know that there's anything to be particularly concerned about,

765
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: just because it's week one and just all the new

766
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 1: and I don't know if I would say it's jitters

767
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: as much as it is. It takes a little bit

768
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: of time to gel, especially when you have a new

769
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: quarterback coming in. It's just different working with the guy

770
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: in practice and then getting actually into a game. But

771
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:38,439
Speaker 1: the fact that they didn't stumble on the banana peel

772
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,240
Speaker 1: and slipped to the ground, they still won the game.

773
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 1: I don't know that you can be particularly concerned about it.

774
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 1: Per se. I wasn't watching play by play, I had it.

775
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 1: I had the game cast on, so I was getting

776
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: the update. I was kind of watching the not the

777
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 1: game itself, but I was watching each play pop up

778
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 1: on my phone as I was watching the A and

779
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: M Notre Dame game. So you know, I don't want

780
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 1: to overreact just what I would say to that they

781
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,839
Speaker 1: did win. It certainly is not what you want if

782
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,280
Speaker 1: you're an Oregon fan, other than the fact that there's still.

783
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 2: One to Oh yeah, I'm not that worried either. You

784
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,720
Speaker 2: know one team that I do think that I'm not worried,

785
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 2: but a smaller picture worried because it's a team that

786
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 2: both of us have. In the College Football Playoff, Michigan

787
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 2: looked pretty uninspiring too. They win thirty to ten, but

788
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 2: they had a defensive touchdown late. Two hundred and sixty

789
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 2: nine yards of total offense for the Michigan Wolverines. We

790
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 2: knew that quarterback was a question mark. J mart On

791
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 2: a scale of one to ten, how worried you about

792
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 2: the Wolverine Well, the.

793
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: Only difference here is, see, I feel better about Oregon

794
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,839
Speaker 1: because it's Dylan Gabriel running the show. I'm not sure

795
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 1: about the Michigan quarterback scenario, and you lost so much

796
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: talent out there. I'm more concerned about Michigan than I

797
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 1: am org just because I just think Oregon's a more

798
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 1: talented team. I still believe in the culture, and I

799
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,839
Speaker 1: really like Charon Moore and what I think he can

800
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: do at Michigan. All told, though, I don't know that

801
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 1: they have the horses that they've had, and they did

802
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 1: lose an awful lot off their offense. So Donovan Edwards

803
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: is going to have to be really special every week.

804
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 2: Gonna have to be special every week. And the interesting part,

805
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:25,240
Speaker 2: of course, with Michigan, the schedule ramps up pretty quickly. Yeah,

806
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 2: starting next week with Texas Baby, So Texas Michigan is

807
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 2: one of the headliners of week two. By the way,

808
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 2: you know what else is the headliner of week two?

809
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 2: Colorado at Nebraska. Well, come back, we'll talk about Colorado's

810
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,800
Speaker 2: season opening win over North Dakota State. How worried should

811
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 2: we be about the buffs? Fox Sports Radio, Welcome in

819
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 2: it is good to have college football back. There is

820
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 2: so much to discuss, Jay mart and we'll get back

821
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 2: to some of the stuff that happened on this past Saturday,

822
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 2: not this past Saturday, this Saturday. Week one and by

823
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 2: the way, should mention as well, there is a possibility

824
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 2: Dylan Gabriel of the Oregon Ducks could be calling in

825
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 2: at some time this hour. He was expected to. Obviously,

826
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:41,919
Speaker 2: the game ran late. It was a little bit tighter

827
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 2: than expected, so we are not sure, but we were

828
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 2: told there's a possibility that Dylan Gabriel, the Heisman Trophy favorite,

829
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 2: could be calling in at some point this out. Well

830
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 2: that said, Jay, mart, I do want to instead of

831
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 2: going back to Saturday as Saturday, of course there is

832
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 2: still a lot going on in the world of college football. Well,

833
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 2: I actually want to go back to instead Thursday night

834
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 2: because Thursday night was the opener of week one. It's

835
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 2: one of these incredible weekends, by the way, Jim, or

836
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 2: let me just say this. You know, we talk about

837
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 2: the opening weekend of the NCAA tournament, we talk about

838
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 2: the opening weekend of the NFL, which is going to

839
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 2: be incredible next week, which includes a Friday game.

840
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,280
Speaker 3: By the way, the five day.

841
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:26,720
Speaker 2: Straight college football opening weekend like that never gets discussed

842
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:28,240
Speaker 2: as just the best weekend in sports.

843
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 3: And I don't know why, or maybe it does just

844
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 3: not in my circles. I don't know. What a weekend.

845
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 2: Five straight days of college football were through three. Obviously,

846
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,320
Speaker 2: Sunday night we have LSU USC Monday night we have

847
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 2: Florida State, Boston College. I don't feel like anyone's ever

848
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 2: saying this is the best weekend of the year on

849
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,840
Speaker 2: the sports calendar, and I think it's definitely in the

850
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 2: short conversation, I.

851
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 1: Think that's fair. I definitely think that's fair. I just

852
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,359
Speaker 1: there's just so much. I think the thing about it

853
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: being the best weekend of sports calendar or what that

854
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,399
Speaker 1: actually signified, it's just wall to wall. You don't even

855
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 1: know where to go because there's so many different places

856
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: that you can go. Like when you get to the

857
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 1: NCAA tournament in that first week and that first weekend,

858
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 1: you've got four different channels, you know, you're flipping between.

859
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 1: The one thing that's nuts about college football in particular

860
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,919
Speaker 1: is that it's literally everywhere, Like it's on all these

861
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 1: different tertiary sports networks. It's on like your CW affiliate,

862
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 1: it's all over the place. It's on like internet streaming

863
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: seventeen different games and all this kind of stuff. Like

864
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,720
Speaker 1: there's almost too much of it. If you're not careful

865
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: and you don't actually take a look at the schedule

866
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,800
Speaker 1: ahead of time. There's too much. The only thing I

867
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 1: guess it's different is just week after week you get

868
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 1: such a great kind of environment. Yeah, there'll be a

869
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 1: couple of down weeks, but there's usually a couple of

870
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:50,320
Speaker 1: marquee matchups and just the sport itself and the pageantry

871
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 1: of it. Even if it's not a great Saturday, you

872
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 1: still can get involved in it. So I think you

873
00:43:55,560 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 1: could still make the argument for the NCAA Tournament being

874
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:05,359
Speaker 1: tops only because it's so rare. You know what it's

875
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:08,280
Speaker 1: gonna be every single year, but it's only one time.

876
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: This is more like a celebration of a start of

877
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 1: a party that's gonna last for four months.

878
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think what makes it so fun is

879
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 2: just the five straight weeks. And I give credit to

880
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 2: the other network because even though the Saturday is incredible,

881
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 2: the Sunday Monday games, I love the standalone game that

882
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 2: feels like the Sunday game always gets a little weird.

883
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 3: You know, we had the year, remember the year.

884
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 2: Texas beat Notre Dame and Charlie Strong gets carried off

885
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 2: the field, and last year obviously LSU getting boat raced

886
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:41,240
Speaker 2: by Florida Staples or the year before.

887
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 1: I remember the kick, the crazy kick at the end

888
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 1: of the game, and then here's LSU right back into

889
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 1: it again. I can't wait for that game tomorrow. I

890
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: want to see what both those football teams look like.

891
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 2: Yes, by the way, keeping the updated on one of

892
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 2: the ranked teams that is currently playing. Arizona has just

893
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 2: scored again Tetsuro McMillan, wide receiver. People are talking about

894
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 2: him as a potential first round draft pick. Pretty sure.

895
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:08,760
Speaker 2: He just had his third touchdown catch of the first half.

896
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 2: Arizona's defense has to get some stops because it is

897
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 2: twenty four to twenty three. Arizona about to kick a

898
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 2: pat to tie it. They are trailing New Mexico. Of course,

899
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:21,319
Speaker 2: New Mexico blew that late lead last week in Week

900
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 2: zero against Montana State JA mart we mentioned it. Everything

901
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 2: started on Thursday, the big one on Thursday, Colorado Buffalo's

902
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 2: take care of business against the North Dakota State Bison.

903
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 2: Final score and that one was thirty one to twenty six.

904
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:40,800
Speaker 2: A lot of thoughts.

905
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 3: Listen.

906
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,799
Speaker 2: I know everybody has had their takes and opinions on this,

907
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 2: but I think listen, people love Colorado. They they hate Colorado,

908
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 2: but people care about Colorado, and so I just bring

909
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 2: it up because you know this is one again. I

910
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,280
Speaker 2: know every show that was on air on Friday reacted

911
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 2: to it, but wanted to take a few minutes to

912
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 2: get your thoughts on the day of Coach Prime year

913
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 2: two as they hold on for a thirty one to

914
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:05,919
Speaker 2: twenty six win over North Dakota State.

915
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 1: Well, I mean he knew going in, and he said

916
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 1: the right stuff going in about North Dakota State to

917
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 1: kind of make sure everybody's expectations were in a manageable

918
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: position for them, Like he didn't speak with all this bluster,

919
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: and then they come out and win by five. Yes,

920
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 1: they didn't cover the spread, which I think both of

921
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,319
Speaker 1: us kind of thought was very possible. Last week. We

922
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 1: already knew Shedoor Sanders was good, and we already knew

923
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: Travis Hunter was insane. The question is what else they have?

924
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 1: I mean, well, you've got Joe Hornson and they have

925
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 1: a good talented wide receiving group, but they had I

926
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 1: think ten guys in the offensive line and defensive line

927
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 1: that weren't there a season ago that were you acquired

928
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 1: brought in through the transfer portal and all that, and

929
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 1: to door Sanders, who was sacked fifty six times a

930
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: year ago, man he only got sacked once. Now. He

931
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: still faced a good bit of pressure in the game,

932
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:00,800
Speaker 1: but it did feel a little more manageable. Well that said,

933
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 1: I didn't feel watching Colorado that what they had in

934
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: the trenches on either side of the ball was particularly impressive.

935
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 1: I didn't feel like they manhadled North Dakota State the

936
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 1: way that you would want to see a Colorado that's

937
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 1: firing on all cylinders do that. I don't know what

938
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 1: you could. He even said after the game, Prime said,

939
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: this is a w that sort of feels like an

940
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 1: l Like they won the game, but like, did it

941
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 1: really feel like a giant win for them? You're watching

942
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:34,280
Speaker 1: the game and you're just, oh, right, this team's still

943
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 1: gonna struggle. This team is still not quite up to snuff.

944
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 1: I saw some people say, you know, by December, Colorado's

945
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 1: an afterthought. And if that's the case, then you're not

946
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 1: going to be talking about Travis Hunter or should or

947
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:52,840
Speaker 1: just Shud or Sanders when it comes to Heisman balloting

948
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:54,839
Speaker 1: or anything else, even if they're good enough to do it.

949
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 1: You've got to be talked about in some way by

950
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 1: that point. And I don't really see it either that.

951
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:02,439
Speaker 1: I think there's still a lot of flaws in the game.

952
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,840
Speaker 1: I still don't think that the secondary is particularly strong.

953
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 3: And which is weird, right, because yeah.

954
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 1: It seems like it would be, but it didn't. Maybe

955
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:13,399
Speaker 1: you saw it differently than me, but I just didn't

956
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:18,879
Speaker 1: come away particularly impressed with several position groups for them,

957
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 1: and I think that's going to cause them trouble.

958
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought my biggest concern, you know, I saw

959
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,360
Speaker 2: a lot of about the defense, and I thought, you know,

960
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,360
Speaker 2: the defense is almost like what we're talking about Clemson

961
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 2: is the first half they kept committing stupid, stupid, stupid penalties.

962
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 2: I thought they they looked better in the second. You know,

963
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 2: the second half they really kind of shut down North

964
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 2: Dakota State up until kind of the final possession or two.

965
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:46,439
Speaker 1: But one.

966
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, the secondary is weird. And I'm not enough of

967
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 2: a scheme expert to know. I mean, I know they

968
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 2: were obviously playing man to man. I don't know if

969
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,360
Speaker 2: they switched to zone and that was the difference whatever.

970
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 2: The one spot that does concern me though, and I

971
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:02,240
Speaker 2: think even an optimist to be realistic about it.

972
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 3: It's the offensive line.

973
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 2: And you know a year you mentioned the stat fifty

974
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:09,840
Speaker 2: six sacks for Shador Sanders. The crazy part remember, he

975
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 2: didn't even play the final week of the season, so

976
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 2: you know, what is that five sacks per game?

977
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 1: I think he was tied for the most sacks last year.

978
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:21,919
Speaker 1: But then you add in the fact he didn't play

979
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:23,720
Speaker 1: the last game, he probably would have won it out.

980
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 3: Right, not something you want to win, No, No, I

981
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:27,279
Speaker 3: don't think so.

982
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so you know, listen, if you just look

983
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 2: at a box score, obviously he was only sacked once,

984
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:35,400
Speaker 2: so that's a positive. But you know, listen to me,

985
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 2: there were two or three times where they needed to

986
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 2: pick up a yard, once in the first half when

987
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 2: they went for it up fourth down, and then late

988
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:46,279
Speaker 2: in the game when they're trying to ice it and

989
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 2: they couldn't do it. And you know, listen, I think

990
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 2: North Kota State's a good team for the FCS level,

991
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:53,400
Speaker 2: but it's still North Dakota State. And you know, if

992
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:55,799
Speaker 2: you can't pick up a yard against them when you

993
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 2: absolutely need to, I just don't think it bodes well

994
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:03,240
Speaker 2: for or the season ahead. I mean, you know, Listen,

995
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 2: we know that the Big twelve on paper is not

996
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 2: the SEC, it's not the Big Ten. But there are

997
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 2: still five teams that are ranked in the preseason in

998
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 2: that conference, and Colorado has all five of them on

999
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 2: the schedule. And if you can't pick up a yard

1000
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 2: when you need it against North Dakota State, I don't

1001
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:23,319
Speaker 2: think you're gonna feel good going up against Kansas State

1002
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 2: or Utah or the teams that you're gonna have to

1003
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 2: beat to compete at the top of the league.

1004
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:32,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think that's true. And you know, again,

1005
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: it's Week one, and you don't want to give grace

1006
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 1: to one group and not another. And Colorado is gonna

1007
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 1: always be more polarizing because of Prime and I think that,

1008
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 1: at least as I'm watching it, I'm trying not to

1009
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:49,719
Speaker 1: get too emotional on either side of that and just

1010
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 1: trying to evaluate what I'm seeing from them on the

1011
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 1: field and the decisions that he's making as a coach.

1012
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 1: I mean, Schudur did make that throw with like a

1013
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 1: minute and a half left in the game, and Dion

1014
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:05,400
Speaker 1: kind of joked about that in the post game. But

1015
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 1: I just saw a team that's still a step or

1016
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 1: two below really competing. And he did say after the

1017
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:17,760
Speaker 1: game that you know, Colorado fans, we were one step

1018
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:21,320
Speaker 1: closer to that bowl game. So again, I think his

1019
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 1: his message sometimes doesn't match his personality, but the message

1020
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 1: is six wins. It's like he's we're trying to get

1021
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:32,239
Speaker 1: Bowl eligible here. He's not acting like we're gonna go

1022
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:34,880
Speaker 1: out and be undefeated and everybody's gonna be eating their words.

1023
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 1: He is very I think he's very careful in how

1024
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 1: he speaks about this program's growth and where it's gonna be.

1025
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:44,720
Speaker 1: And I think that's actually to his credit.

1026
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:46,840
Speaker 2: Well yeah, and I think that's actually interesting because I

1027
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:48,799
Speaker 2: remember it was after a game last year. I think

1028
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 2: it was the UCLA game, and that was kind of

1029
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 2: the one where he threw his offensive line under the

1030
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:59,280
Speaker 2: bus and whatever. But he said somebody asked him about like, hey,

1031
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:01,760
Speaker 2: you know, like it might have been Stanford.

1032
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 3: I can't remember. There was one game where he.

1033
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 2: Was explicitly asked, you know this, this feels like a

1034
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 2: loss that could hurt you your chances to make a

1035
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 2: bowl game, and he said, point blank, he was like,

1036
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 2: our goal is not to make a bowl game, or

1037
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 2: or says something the effect of our goal is not

1038
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 2: to win enough to make a bowl game. Our goal

1039
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 2: is to win every single game on our schedule. And

1040
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 2: I don't know if he said win a national championship,

1041
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 2: blah blah whatever. So I just bring it up because

1042
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 2: that is actually an interesting departure from what the messaging

1043
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:31,840
Speaker 2: has been in the past. Really quick, listen, I know

1044
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:34,879
Speaker 2: you've been somebody that you know kind of has said

1045
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 2: many times you think there's a possibility. I don't want

1046
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 2: to put words with you about but that Dion isn't there.

1047
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 2: Past this year I was thinking about this is that

1048
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:48,239
Speaker 2: I've been somebody Dion has said, Hey, you know, I

1049
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 2: love coaching, I love impacting young men.

1050
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 3: I'm not just here for my sons whatever.

1051
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 2: But I was thinking, it's like, if you go six

1052
00:52:57,320 --> 00:53:00,120
Speaker 2: and six, even if you get a bowl game, but

1053
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:02,879
Speaker 2: obviously if you don't, like if you're six and six

1054
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:06,960
Speaker 2: with Shador at quarterback, I'm not saying I'm not saying

1055
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 2: he will leave, but I mean, you're never gonna get

1056
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 2: I don't you know. I don't think you're gonna ever

1057
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 2: get gonna get better at quarterback than Shad or Sanders.

1058
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:16,319
Speaker 2: I'd be I'll be curious if it does go the

1059
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 2: way that it looks like it's gonna go. And and

1060
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 2: I do think that they are at least a little

1061
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:22,800
Speaker 2: bit improved. Now I thought they had a chance to

1062
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 2: be a lot improved. Doesn't look like they're a lot improved.

1063
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:28,360
Speaker 2: But if you're six and six, if you're five and seven,

1064
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 2: I do wonder if he's like, damn, man, this FCS thing,

1065
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:34,840
Speaker 2: this FBS thing is a little bit harder than I thought.

1066
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 3: You know, we know how.

1067
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 2: Much money he's got in the bank, his kids aren't

1068
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 2: there anymore. I'd be curious what happens if they don't

1069
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:45,360
Speaker 2: really exceed expectations, not not just because his sons are leaving,

1070
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:48,319
Speaker 2: but because one of his sons is probably realistically the.

1071
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 3: Best quarterback he's ever gonna have a chance to coach

1072
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:50,719
Speaker 3: at Colorado.

1073
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:53,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and if you're gonna barely eke out a bowl

1074
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 1: at that point, maybe you need to. If you have

1075
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 1: somewhere else to go and somebody else is interested in you,

1076
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 1: it might be time to go then, as opposed to

1077
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:05,879
Speaker 1: before the balloom falls off even more. And the same

1078
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 1: thing's true with Hunter. I mean, Hunter might be the

1079
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 1: most talented player he ever has period Colorado is going

1080
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:15,239
Speaker 1: to continue to struggle in that way. Now, I think

1081
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 1: that he gives them a better chance to bring in

1082
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 1: better talent. I do. I think a lot of people

1083
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:21,359
Speaker 1: are still going to be very interested in the idea

1084
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:23,919
Speaker 1: of playing for Deon Sanders, but I also think they'd

1085
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:26,480
Speaker 1: be interested even more so in playing for Deon Sanders

1086
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:29,480
Speaker 1: at a place of more prestige, whether it's in college

1087
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:31,359
Speaker 1: or whether or not he decides to try and move

1088
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:33,400
Speaker 1: his way into the pros and do an assistant coach

1089
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:36,479
Speaker 1: thing or whatever does he choose to do. I still

1090
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 1: think he's going to have options even if this doesn't

1091
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 1: work out to like a ever being like a nine

1092
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:44,000
Speaker 1: to three season or him being there for twenty years

1093
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:46,160
Speaker 1: or anything like that. He's going to have options. And

1094
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 1: I do think it's less about well, I don't want

1095
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 1: to coach unless it's my son's and more about well,

1096
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:55,520
Speaker 1: my son's really good, and I need to strike while

1097
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 1: it's hot because he's good, as opposed to waiting around

1098
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 1: another five years not really being a hot candidate at

1099
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 1: that point and have wasted my time.

1100
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:08,359
Speaker 2: Tell you what, it's gonna get interesting for Colorado next

1101
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:11,920
Speaker 2: week because Nebraska look pretty good today. No, it's only

1102
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:13,320
Speaker 2: they played UTEP.

1103
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:14,399
Speaker 3: I get it.

1104
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 2: But Nebraska is a program that hasn't had a lot

1105
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 2: to be excited about over the last couple of years,

1106
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:25,239
Speaker 2: but they win today forty to seven. Nebraska hosts Colorado

1107

Speaker 2: next Saturday night, seven thirty Eastern, which means you and

1108

Speaker 2: I will be coming on right after that game, Jamart

1109
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:35,200

1136
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:54,560

00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:26,400
Speaker 2: the podcast today, though, we want to wrap and conclude

1147
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 2: our preview show segments with the NFC West the NFC South.

1148
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:38,680
Speaker 2: So Patrick, go ahead, take it away, NFC South or

1149
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 2: NFC West.

1150
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 3: Let's start with the NFC West. Over out of win totals.

1151
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 3: Who we got? All right? Hey, give us a little

1152
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 3: music too, over.

1153
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 7: Under win totals for the NFC West, Well, you know what,

1154
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 7: Jason and Aaron. The top the leader right now is

1155
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 7: the San Francisco forty nine ers, and honestly, guys, I

1156
00:57:57,920 --> 00:57:59,960
Speaker 7: actually have their win total a little over under free

1157
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:03,440
Speaker 7: you get for you right now, guys, Eleven and a

1158
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 7: half wins is what is looking at for San Francisco

1159
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,120
Speaker 7: this year. Give me a little bit of the over

1160
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 7: under on that one. Aaron Whyt just start us off

1161
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 7: with that.

1162
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 3: That is a hard under.

1163
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:17,400
Speaker 2: I don't even know what that means, but that is

1164
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:19,560
Speaker 2: a definitive, definitive under.

1165
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 3: Listen.

1166
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:23,200
Speaker 2: The bottom line is I know that I know that

1167
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:28,440
Speaker 2: Brandon Aiyuk the contract finally got signed, but Trent Williams

1168
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 2: he's still out. Listened to Seger told us about the

1169
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 2: very scary situation with Ricky Piersoll just feels like a

1170
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:38,520
Speaker 2: weird offseason, and the bottom line is you don't need

1171
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:40,240
Speaker 2: me to tell you. I mean, obviously, when you're coming

1172
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:43,080
Speaker 2: off a Super Bowl appearance, you're going to have a

1173
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 2: very tough schedule.

1174
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:44,919
Speaker 3: That's the case.

1175
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:46,919
Speaker 2: I don't think the Jets are give me in week one.

1176
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 2: You got a divisional game in LA in Week three,

1177
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,919
Speaker 2: although I know obviously that for the most part Kyle

1178
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:56,240
Speaker 2: Shanahan has had success against Sean McVay. But back half

1179
00:58:56,320 --> 00:59:01,560
Speaker 2: of the schedule Chiefs, Cowboys at Tampa, at Bay at Buffalo,

1180
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:05,280
Speaker 2: It's a very difficult schedule. This might actually be my

1181
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:08,680
Speaker 2: favorite under over under of the entire slate I have

1182
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:11,200
Speaker 2: under You said eleven and a half, right, Pat.

1183
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, eleven and eleven and a half. Eleven and a half.

1184
00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:18,439
Speaker 2: I got a significant under on the San Francisco forty

1185
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:19,040
Speaker 2: nine ers.

1186
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:21,760
Speaker 1: I agree. I got to win in ten games. I

1187
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 1: like looking at it. That's just how I feel. The

1188
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:27,600
Speaker 1: schedule is not easy. A lot of road games, as

1189
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 1: you mentioned, against top flight opponents. There have been some

1190
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:34,160
Speaker 1: kind of weird vibes coming out in the last couple

1191
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:36,919
Speaker 1: of months. Just their focus has been sort of all

1192
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:41,520
Speaker 1: over the map. They have a lot of guys that

1193
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 1: have dealt with injuries throughout their career. You assume that

1194
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 1: that probably is going to continue for some of those guys.

1195
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 1: If they were to go over, I wouldn't be shocked,

1196
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:51,840
Speaker 1: but it would probably mean they've just had an incredible

1197
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:54,280
Speaker 1: year and they're probably going to enter the playoffs as

1198
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:57,320
Speaker 1: a prohibitive favorite. And I don't see that being the case.

1199
00:59:57,360 --> 00:59:58,919
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'll take the under for sure.

1200
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 7: All Right, Aaron, we got the are we going NFC South?

1201
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:06,440
Speaker 7: We're going down the line with the NFL West in

1202
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:09,919
Speaker 7: the NFC West, going with the NFC West here, all right? Well,

1203
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 7: number two, number two has a Ben Mallard would say

1204
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 7: number two the Los Angeles Rams. Their win total right

1205
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:23,040
Speaker 7: now is at nine point five. And you know what,

1206
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:27,120
Speaker 7: we're gonna do a little flipski here, mister j Mark

1207
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 7: Jason Martin, what are you feeling over under for the

1208
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 7: Los Angeles Rammies.

1209
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:34,280
Speaker 1: I like the Rams. I like the Rams this year.

1210
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:37,920
Speaker 1: I mean losing Ernest Jones in that trade, but you

1211
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:41,680
Speaker 1: you got something back out of that. You open up

1212
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:44,320
Speaker 1: with three or four on the road, and two of

1213
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:46,919
Speaker 1: those are against the Lions and Bears. Those aren't gonna

1214
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:49,240
Speaker 1: be easy. The trip to Arizona's a division game, so

1215
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:50,880
Speaker 1: that's probably not gonna be easy, and the one that

1216
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 1: you have at home is the Niners. They may start out,

1217
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 1: it may start out rough, but I think they're gonna

1218
01:00:56,120 --> 01:00:58,040
Speaker 1: kind of get their sea legs underneath them their fifth

1219
01:00:58,040 --> 01:01:01,640
Speaker 1: games against the Packers, but then they get Rader Vikings Seahawks.

1220
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 1: I like them to potentially win all three of those

1221
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:06,080
Speaker 1: games they get the Patriots, I think they'll win, even

1222
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 1: though it's gonna be on the road. I just I

1223
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:10,400
Speaker 1: like to make up with the team, and I think

1224
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:13,080
Speaker 1: that that over under is slighting them just enough for

1225
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:15,720
Speaker 1: me to feel like pretty good about them going over

1226
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:16,320
Speaker 1: that number.

1227
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:18,520
Speaker 2: Well, it was the number again, pat Real quick tennight,

1228
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:21,720
Speaker 2: nine point five. I'll be quick on this. I'm gonna

1229
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:23,959
Speaker 2: go over as well. Listen, I really like this team.

1230
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:26,200
Speaker 2: They won ten games last year. I know they obviously

1231
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:29,160
Speaker 2: had a pretty big piece that they've lost on the

1232
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:31,840
Speaker 2: defensive side of the football, But I think the forty

1233
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:33,720
Speaker 2: nine ers are a little bit down. I'm a little

1234
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 2: bit down er if you will, on Arizona. So I

1235
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 2: will take the over of nine and a half as well.

1236
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 7: All right, we're gonna go with third place here. My

1237
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:46,880
Speaker 7: Seattle Seahawks. They are at seven point five here, and

1238
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 7: let's do a flip back, Aaron, what are we feeling

1239
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:51,800
Speaker 7: to have a seven point five over under j.

1240
01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:55,000
Speaker 2: Mart I'll be curious your perspective on Seattle. I feel

1241
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:57,960
Speaker 2: like they're I don't know what to think of them.

1242
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:01,680
Speaker 2: Everybody likes Mike McDonald, but Gino Smith is still your

1243
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:05,920
Speaker 2: starting quarterback. I don't really know what the ceiling is

1244
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:09,680
Speaker 2: for you with him in that position. I know they

1245
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:11,880
Speaker 2: won nine games last year, but again, you look at

1246
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:14,160
Speaker 2: the schedule. San Francisco is obviously going to be tough,

1247
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:16,920
Speaker 2: the LA we just talked about, and I think there

1248
01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 2: are a lot of tough games once.

1249
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:19,440
Speaker 3: You get out of the division.

1250
01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 2: Green Bay at Chicago late, when you think that Caleb

1251
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:25,800
Speaker 2: Williams has gotten going, Josh Allen and the Bills, I

1252
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:26,600
Speaker 2: could go on and on.

1253
01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:28,800
Speaker 3: At Detroit, Dolphins.

1254
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:31,160
Speaker 2: At home, I don't know what to make of them,

1255
01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna go under seven and a half.

1256
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:36,640
Speaker 1: I tend to agree with you, Sorry, Patrick, but I

1257
01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:38,280
Speaker 1: just I don't look at a lot of the games

1258
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:40,240
Speaker 1: and feel like, oh, I feel good about their chances

1259
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:43,560
Speaker 1: going in there. They could surprise us. They and they

1260
01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:46,680
Speaker 1: have done that in the past. Sometimes they play above themselves,

1261
01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:49,760
Speaker 1: but again, you've got new in some key spots and

1262
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:52,040
Speaker 1: you've got to make sure you stay healthy. Because I

1263
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:54,680
Speaker 1: don't necessarily think that they're one of the deeper teams

1264
01:02:54,720 --> 01:03:00,120
Speaker 1: in the league. Yeah, I think they've got like a

1265
01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:04,200
Speaker 1: six and eleven record written all over them this year.

1266
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:08,160
Speaker 7: So it'd be with that. I appreciate the support on

1267
01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:09,920
Speaker 7: that one though, J Mart. Well, we're gonna go with

1268
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 7: the final last place in the West. It's the Arizona Cardinals,

1269
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:17,360
Speaker 7: and honestly, guys, it's not that far from where Seattle was.

1270
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:20,640
Speaker 7: They're actually at seven flat right now, guys, over under

1271
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:21,280
Speaker 7: seven games.

1272
01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:24,720
Speaker 3: Mister J Mart, what are we feeling on that one?

1273
01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:28,680
Speaker 1: I think they played better for Jonathan Gannon than many

1274
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:33,560
Speaker 1: people probably thought they were going to last year. And

1275
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:36,840
Speaker 1: I do think Kyler Murray has shown signs of maturity

1276
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 1: and shown signs of leadership that he didn't have prior.

1277
01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:43,320
Speaker 1: They're gonna need all of that. Again, they do have

1278
01:03:43,480 --> 01:03:45,840
Speaker 1: some skill talent down there now, to say the least,

1279
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:49,520
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I just don't think they're

1280
01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 1: quite ready. And if they're a seven flat I just

1281
01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 1: don't see them winning seven games. Give me the under.

1282
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:56,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, same.

1283
01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:59,000
Speaker 2: You know, I actually think the right thing, in my

1284
01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 2: opinion is probably for them to hit seven even maybe,

1285
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:05,040
Speaker 2: but you know that's not really an option in the

1286
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 2: over under game. And so if you're asking me one

1287
01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 2: or the other. Again, just because of some of the

1288
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:12,880
Speaker 2: cross division stuff, obviously we've mentioned it a few times.

1289
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 2: They have to play the NFC North. We think all

1290
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:17,920
Speaker 2: four teams in that conference or that division, excuse me,

1291
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:20,920
Speaker 2: will be competitive. I know I just said it three times,

1292
01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:23,960
Speaker 2: so I won't repeat myself here, but Rams forty nine

1293
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:27,960
Speaker 2: or speak for themselves, I will go under seven as

1294
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:32,280
Speaker 2: well on the Arizona Cardinals. So Jmarin and I actually

1295
01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:35,600
Speaker 2: in agreement on all four teams. We have San Francisco

1296
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 2: under eleven and a half, LA Rams over nine and

1297
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:42,520
Speaker 2: a half, Seattle under seven and a half, Arizona under

1298
01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:45,520
Speaker 2: seven as well. Tell you what, Jbar and Pat will

1299
01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:49,520
Speaker 2: come back. We'll talk our final division, the NFC South.

1300
01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 3: We'll do that in just.

1301
01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:53,480
Speaker 2: A moment, but before we do, news desk to Saga

1302
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:54,320
Speaker 2: Flora's Yours.

1303
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:57,680
Speaker 6: Three late games of note in college football on FS one,

1304
01:04:57,720 --> 01:05:00,640
Speaker 6: Arizona State has scored again It's thirty four to nothing

1305
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:04,320
Speaker 6: over Wyoming early third quarter. The Washington Huskies late second

1306
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:07,720
Speaker 6: quarter lead at home fourteen nothing against Weaber State, and

1307
01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:11,320
Speaker 6: it's halftime at number twenty one. Arizona Wildcats lead New

1308
01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:15,480
Speaker 6: Mexico twenty seven, twenty four. You'd mentioned possible first round

1309
01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:18,480
Speaker 6: NFL wide receiver in the draft next year. Ttero and

1310
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:22,720
Speaker 6: McMillan of Arizona in the first half, six receptions, two

1311
01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:27,200
Speaker 6: hundred and eight yards and three touchdowns. There's a second

1312
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 6: weather delay at Kentucky. Boy, has it been a long

1313
01:05:30,080 --> 01:05:30,520
Speaker 6: night there?

1314
01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:32,880
Speaker 3: What is the status? Like? When do you know when

1315
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:34,760
Speaker 3: they can just officially call that a game? Do you

1316
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:36,200
Speaker 3: have any idea? I'm just curious.

1317
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:39,840
Speaker 1: I mean, it's thirty one to nothing, That's what I'm saying, Like,

1318
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:40,640
Speaker 1: wrap that thing.

1319
01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 6: They have just announced it will not resume. It was

1320
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:45,840
Speaker 6: a thirty one to nothing lead in the third quarter,

1321
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:49,640
Speaker 6: so counted as a win for Kentucky over Southern miss

1322
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 6: There was a long delay at the start of that one,

1323
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:55,720
Speaker 6: so it was almost midnight there when the second delay came,

1324
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:59,440
Speaker 6: and now here half hour later they have officially called it.

1325
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:03,600
Speaker 6: Vanderbilt in overtime beat Virginia Tech. Boise State won a

1326
01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:07,840
Speaker 6: high scoring game at Georgia Southern. As for San Diego State,

1327
01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 6: they were down at the half at home to Texas

1328
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:13,400
Speaker 6: A and M Commerce six to three.

1329
01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:14,240
Speaker 1: Commerce.

1330
01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:18,320
Speaker 6: What Yeah, I don't know how many tickets, how much

1331
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:21,520
Speaker 6: commerce was going on there, but San Diego State did

1332
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:24,160
Speaker 6: win forty five to fourteen. And that's all our Friendy

1333
01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:26,440
Speaker 6: from Salam will bring up. I'm sure tomorrow night when

1334
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:29,640
Speaker 6: he comes into the studio. Number one Georgia b Clemson

1335
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:31,640
Speaker 6: thirty four to three in a game that was six

1336
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:34,760
Speaker 6: to nothing at the half. Number two Ohio State fifty

1337
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:38,160
Speaker 6: two to six winners against Akron. The Buckeys led ten

1338
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:40,960
Speaker 6: to three in the second quarter. Defense had five sacks

1339
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:44,000
Speaker 6: in this game. Preseason Number three Oregon was only up

1340
01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:47,080
Speaker 6: seventeen fourteen, was six minutes to go, but beat Idaho

1341
01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:50,680
Speaker 6: twenty four to fourteen. At Number nine Michigan Wolverines only

1342

Speaker 6: led Fresno State with six minutes to go sixteen to ten.

1343
01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:56,960

Speaker 6: thirteen with ten points in the last two minutes. Early

1346
01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:06,000
Speaker 6: in the show, you mentioned preseason number nineteen Miami. I

1347
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:08,360
Speaker 6: believe that number will be a bit higher next week.

1348
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:12,400
Speaker 6: They went at Florida forty one seventeen Gators on third

1349
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:15,800

Speaker 6: Brown is not expected to play in the opener due

1364
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:05,920

01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:18,080
Speaker 6: while the Mets won five three at the White Saw.

1386
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:20,280
Speaker 2: Expect to you, Thank you very much, Steve the Seger.

1387

Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Radio, Fox Sports Sunday Now air

1388
01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:28,400
Speaker 2: towards Jason Martin, broadcasting live from the tyreq dot com studios.

1389
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:33,160
Speaker 2: We've hit on seven of eight divisions, over underwent total

1390
01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:38,080
Speaker 2: picks and predictions. Let's do the final one. NFC South. Mary,

1391
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:40,439
Speaker 2: give us some music, Patrick, where are we starting moment?

1392
01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:44,320
Speaker 7: All right, We're going with the NFC South. And honestly,

1393
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:46,280
Speaker 7: all of these are actually really really except for the

1394
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:50,240
Speaker 7: last one. Are really close and pretty much the same age.

1395
01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:51,160
Speaker 3: Yess who the last one.

1396
01:09:51,080 --> 01:09:55,000
Speaker 1: Is but too But for all intents and purposes, we

1397
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:57,600
Speaker 1: need to start with one, and the favorite as of

1398
01:09:57,680 --> 01:10:00,559
Speaker 1: right now is the Falcons, the Atlanta Falcons.

1399
01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:02,240
Speaker 3: They're over under.

1400
01:10:02,520 --> 01:10:04,800
Speaker 7: And don't get mad at me if it sounds like

1401
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:07,759
Speaker 7: a broken record with this number, but nine point five

1402
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:10,439
Speaker 7: is the number for the day right now. Over under

1403
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:13,120
Speaker 7: for the Games. Falcons. Let's go with Aaron.

1404
01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:18,800
Speaker 3: Who are we feeling? I just don't like anybody else.

1405
01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:19,960
Speaker 3: I don't like the Falcons.

1406
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:22,040
Speaker 2: I think there's something weird with the Cousins Penix thing,

1407
01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:24,280
Speaker 2: the fact they shut Pennix down. I think he was

1408
01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:28,120
Speaker 2: looking a little too good. But what was the number again, Patrick,

1409
01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:28,400
Speaker 2: eight and.

1410
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 3: A half, nine and a half, nine and a half.

1411
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:33,320
Speaker 2: I'm gonna actually go under. I think nine and eight

1412
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:35,559
Speaker 2: won the division last year, it might win it this year.

1413
01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:38,559
Speaker 2: I just think they're I'm just not a Falcons guy.

1414
01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:40,679
Speaker 2: I'm not a Kirk Cousins guy. I'm gonna go under

1415
01:10:40,680 --> 01:10:41,440
Speaker 2: on the Falcons.

1416
01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:44,719
Speaker 1: Same same reason too. There's just a lot of question

1417
01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:48,000
Speaker 1: marks there. I know they have made themselves better, and

1418
01:10:48,040 --> 01:10:51,439
Speaker 1: they have, I mean, Cousins is better than what they had.

1419
01:10:51,439 --> 01:10:55,240
Speaker 1: But the comment about Penix that you made is exactly

1420
01:10:55,280 --> 01:10:58,479
Speaker 1: where I've been on them. There's something wonky there. There's

1421
01:10:58,520 --> 01:11:01,840
Speaker 1: something there's something we're gonna have to figure out before

1422
01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:04,280
Speaker 1: the end of the year surrounding that franchise. I think

1423
01:11:04,439 --> 01:11:06,719
Speaker 1: I think their future could be bright, but their present

1424
01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:09,320
Speaker 1: is enough for me to think nine and a half

1425
01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:12,720
Speaker 1: is a little bit too optimistic. All right.

1426
01:11:12,960 --> 01:11:16,080
Speaker 7: Well, with that optimism, we're gonna go a little pessimistic here.

1427
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:18,320
Speaker 7: And also I want to stand corrected. It wasn't nine

1428
01:11:18,320 --> 01:11:20,040
Speaker 7: and a half that was gonna be a broken record.

1429
01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:22,720
Speaker 7: It's this number. I'm about to say, let me eight,

1430
01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:27,599
Speaker 7: nine and eight now, but number two.

1431
01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:29,640
Speaker 3: The second place is the Buccaneers.

1432
01:11:30,200 --> 01:11:33,120
Speaker 7: This number is a repeat for the rest of the

1433
01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:36,720
Speaker 7: way except for the last seven point five is our

1434
01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:40,719
Speaker 7: games here? Seven point five over under books, J Mart,

1435
01:11:40,760 --> 01:11:41,599
Speaker 7: how we feeling, brother?

1436
01:11:41,960 --> 01:11:44,400
Speaker 1: I'm over. Somebody's gotta be over in this division, and

1437
01:11:44,439 --> 01:11:46,599
Speaker 1: they're the only team that I really like of the four.

1438
01:11:47,200 --> 01:11:49,680
Speaker 1: I'm not really sold on the Saints at this at

1439
01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:52,599
Speaker 1: this point, I got bit by them last year, so

1440
01:11:53,320 --> 01:11:54,680
Speaker 1: I'm go ahead tell you right now. I don't even

1441
01:11:54,680 --> 01:11:56,080
Speaker 1: know what the number is gonna be, but I'm gonna

1442
01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:59,080
Speaker 1: be under on the Saints. I am just too kind

1443
01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:02,720
Speaker 1: of wait and see. When it comes to the Falcons

1444
01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:05,040
Speaker 1: and the Panthers, I do think they're gonna be better,

1445
01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:08,760
Speaker 1: but that's a low bar to clear. So somebody's got

1446
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:10,439
Speaker 1: to be over, and I think it'll be Tampa Bay.

1447
01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:13,840
Speaker 2: All the same, don't think they're perfect, think they're the

1448
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:15,919
Speaker 2: best of this division.

1449
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:18,160
Speaker 3: I am a Baker Mayfield guy. I believe in him,

1450
01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:18,800
Speaker 3: got him to the.

1451
01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:22,360
Speaker 2: Playoffs last year, and I think eight and nine, potentially

1452
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:24,760
Speaker 2: eight and nine, nine and eight could do it again.

1453
01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:27,120
Speaker 2: I'll take over here, Patrick, who's next?

1454
01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:27,679
Speaker 3: All right?

1455
01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:32,160
Speaker 7: We got third place? It's the New Orleans Saints and

1456
01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:37,639
Speaker 7: guys seven point five. Second verse, same as the first, Aaron,

1457
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:38,320
Speaker 7: how we feeling?

1458
01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:42,320
Speaker 2: I don't have much to say under don't like Derek

1459
01:12:42,360 --> 01:12:45,439
Speaker 2: Carr still the quarterback. You know I was gonna say.

1460
01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:48,679
Speaker 2: My hot take is, I don't know the contract situation.

1461
01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:50,559
Speaker 2: I think by the end of the year, Spencer Ratler

1462
01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:53,639
Speaker 2: could be the start of there. People make fun of him.

1463
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:56,519
Speaker 2: He actually has looked good in the preseason. He played

1464
01:12:56,520 --> 01:12:59,840
Speaker 2: well at South Carolina, took an absolute beating behind that

1465
01:12:59,880 --> 01:13:02,800
Speaker 2: all offensive line last year. But I don't know what

1466
01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:04,439
Speaker 2: the heck is going. They're just not good.

1467
01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:08,400
Speaker 1: They're not good though they're not so seven wins, Yeah,

1468
01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:11,240
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna tank or not tank, like intentionally,

1469
01:13:11,320 --> 01:13:13,760
Speaker 1: but I got them under two. This is just a

1470
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:17,240
Speaker 1: bad division. It really is just not so I say

1471
01:13:17,280 --> 01:13:19,439
Speaker 1: football needs to get better in the NFC South.

1472
01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:21,360
Speaker 2: Why I saved it for last and why I did

1473
01:13:21,360 --> 01:13:22,800
Speaker 2: it after the break, so we could be a little

1474
01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:25,599
Speaker 2: bit quicker on this one. Patrick, we got one team left,

1475
01:13:26,160 --> 01:13:30,439
Speaker 2: well we do, and J mark Is said bad, Well

1476
01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:32,439
Speaker 2: is it Carolina Panthers?

1477
01:13:32,479 --> 01:13:32,679
Speaker 1: Bad?

1478
01:13:32,720 --> 01:13:37,320
Speaker 7: Because guys, they're favored with five point five over under

1479
01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:37,880
Speaker 7: on wins.

1480
01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:40,160
Speaker 1: Guys, well, look they were two and fifteen. They were

1481
01:13:40,200 --> 01:13:42,800
Speaker 1: two and fifteen last year. I was gonna say, I

1482
01:13:42,800 --> 01:13:44,880
Speaker 1: think they'll double that, they might even triple that. They

1483
01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:49,680
Speaker 1: could get to six. I think they'll hit five. So

1484
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:50,920
Speaker 1: I'll say they're still under.

1485
01:13:51,680 --> 01:13:56,040
Speaker 2: I'll be quick, Like you said, to hit six means

1486
01:13:56,080 --> 01:13:59,400
Speaker 2: you tripled your win total from a year ago without

1487
01:13:59,400 --> 01:14:02,080
Speaker 2: a first draw draft pick as the number one overall pick.

1488
01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:06,200
Speaker 3: Under feels like an easy bet to me, kind of

1489
01:14:06,240 --> 01:14:06,960
Speaker 3: a boring night.

1490
01:14:07,040 --> 01:14:10,000
Speaker 1: Jmartin, it was, well, you don't usually agree to that.

1491
01:14:10,479 --> 01:14:13,080
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, we just these just felt like

1492
01:14:13,160 --> 01:14:15,679
Speaker 1: easier calls to me. I actually feel the same way.

1493
01:14:15,720 --> 01:14:17,960
Speaker 2: I feel like the numbers are way off on these

1494
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:21,760
Speaker 2: divisions again, Jmartin, or this specific division, jmar and I

1495
01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:24,639
Speaker 2: both have Atlanta under nine and a half, Tampa over

1496
01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:27,400
Speaker 2: seven and a half, New Orleans under seven and a half,

1497
01:14:27,439 --> 01:14:30,760
Speaker 2: and Carolina even with a win total of five and

1498
01:14:30,760 --> 01:14:31,160
Speaker 2: a half.

1499
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:32,519

1513
01:15:10,360 --> 01:15:12,680
Speaker 6: I'm glad you brought up the name of the Arizona

1514
01:15:12,720 --> 01:15:15,920
Speaker 6: wide receiver because McMillan we mentioned as over two hundred

1515
01:15:15,960 --> 01:15:18,800
Speaker 6: yards receiving first half and could be an NFL first

1516
01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:21,280
Speaker 6: round pick. I saw what could be a first round

1517
01:15:21,360 --> 01:15:23,679
Speaker 6: running back in the NFL next year in the Boise

1518
01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:27,559
Speaker 6: State game to Ashton genty. This guy in his conference

1519
01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:30,000
Speaker 6: championship last year in the Mountain West to win at

1520
01:15:30,040 --> 01:15:32,880

1521
01:15:32,960 --> 01:15:36,839

1523
01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:44,200

1525
01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:51,559
Speaker 6: final was fifty six forty five. This is a guy

1526
01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:54,439
Speaker 6: who is five foot nine but has the bulk. He's

1527
01:15:54,479 --> 01:15:57,000
Speaker 6: listed at five nine two fifteen and they said on

1528
01:15:57,040 --> 01:16:00,719
Speaker 6: the broadcast he led the nation last year in yards

1529
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:03,920
Speaker 6: after contact. He had over two hundred yards rushing at

1530
01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:06,760
Speaker 6: Colorado State last year over two hundred yards rushing at

1531
01:16:06,800 --> 01:16:09,800
Speaker 6: San Diego State. In fact, he was number one in

1532
01:16:09,880 --> 01:16:13,200
Speaker 6: the nation in yards from scrimmage per game one hundred

1533
01:16:13,200 --> 01:16:17,040
Speaker 6: and sixty yards per game last year rushing and receiving,

1534
01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:20,760
Speaker 6: and he was top five in the country also in touchdowns.

01:16:21,280 --> 01:16:25,120
Speaker 6: I am now officially rooting for the Boise State Broncos

1536
01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:27,599
Speaker 6: to make the playoffs. I want to see this guy

1537
01:16:27,760 --> 01:16:31,240
Speaker 6: in December. Fox TV is going to have four Boise

1538
01:16:31,360 --> 01:16:35,920
Speaker 6: State games this season and FS one with another two. Unfortunately,

1539
01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:39,000
Speaker 6: next Saturday night it is streaming only when it is

1540
01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:43,280
Speaker 6: Boise State at Oregon. That is your late night game

1541
01:16:43,479 --> 01:16:46,800
Speaker 6: ten pm Eastern next Saturday.

1542
01:16:46,400 --> 01:16:48,120
Speaker 3: Night streaming only.

1543
01:16:48,439 --> 01:16:52,000
Speaker 6: That is correct because I think because Colorado's being carried

1544
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:55,360
Speaker 6: by NBC and then they're gonna make it streaming old.

1545
01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:56,880
Speaker 2: What do we have to be ten network for if

1546
01:16:56,880 --> 01:16:59,160
Speaker 2: we can't get Oregon on freaking national TV?

1547
01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:00,479
Speaker 3: Are we doing?

1548
01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:03,840
Speaker 6: That's right? They're working their way. And you guys have

1549
01:17:03,920 --> 01:17:07,040
Speaker 6: mentioned the Florida Gators coach early in the show, Billy Napier,

1550
01:17:07,800 --> 01:17:09,800
Speaker 6: And my goodness did they lose at home today? It

1551
01:17:09,840 --> 01:17:13,240
Speaker 6: was forty one seventeen Miami. The final cam Ward their

1552
01:17:13,280 --> 01:17:16,920
Speaker 6: new quarterback, three hundred and eighty five yards passing three touchdowns,

1553
01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:20,720
Speaker 6: one interception. So the Gators lose. Billy Napier's on a

1554
01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:24,240
Speaker 6: contract worth over fifty million dollars total. I have read

1555
01:17:24,280 --> 01:17:27,840
Speaker 6: the buyout for this year would be eighty five percent

1556
01:17:27,840 --> 01:17:30,400
Speaker 6: of his salary for each year remaining on the contract,

1557
01:17:30,439 --> 01:17:33,879
Speaker 6: so the buyout would be about twenty five million dollars

1558
01:17:33,920 --> 01:17:36,600
Speaker 6: in the University of Florida currently does not have a

1559
01:17:36,640 --> 01:17:41,439
Speaker 6: school president after a resignation this summer. The Florida Gators

1560
01:17:41,479 --> 01:17:45,360
Speaker 6: do have Samford on the schedule next weekend and then

1561
01:17:45,439 --> 01:17:48,760
Speaker 6: Texas A and M and Mississippi State and UCF after that.

1562
01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:51,679
Speaker 6: I'm glad you brought up the schedule because that jumped

1563
01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:54,519
Speaker 6: off the screen to me watching the Florida game today.

1564
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:58,440
Speaker 6: Those last five games are all in the month of November.

1565
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:01,800
Speaker 6: In one month to finish the season in a row,

1566
01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:07,240
Speaker 6: Florida will play Georgia, Texas, LSU, Old Miss, and then

1567
01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:11,320
Speaker 6: Florida State. At the other end of the SEC Well, Alabama,

1568
01:18:11,400 --> 01:18:15,479
Speaker 6: for example, hosted Western Kentucky and paypri We need to

1569
01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:18,400
Speaker 6: go into this, yes we do, because Western Kentucky is

1570
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:22,040
Speaker 6: now one point nine million dollars richer after the visit

1571
01:18:22,120 --> 01:18:25,160
Speaker 6: to Tuscaloosa. Of course, they were down forty two nothing

1572
01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:28,360
Speaker 6: at the half sixty three nothing the final. Western Kentucky

1573
01:18:28,439 --> 01:18:32,160
Speaker 6: had ten first downs nine punts in this game. At

1574
01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:36,880
Speaker 6: Texas today, Longhorns paid Colorado State one point eight million

1575
01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:40,320
Speaker 6: dollars according to Forbes, and beat the Rams fifty two nothing.

1576
01:18:40,360 --> 01:18:43,679
Speaker 6: By the way, next Saturday on Fox TV, Texas at

1577
01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:48,639
Speaker 6: Michigan noon Eastern time tonight, Michigan paid Fresno State one

1578
01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:51,840
Speaker 6: point eight five million dollars for the visit, and in

1579
01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:55,360
Speaker 6: a couple weeks Michigan's gonna pay Arkansas State one point

1580
01:18:55,400 --> 01:18:58,720
Speaker 6: eight million dollars thing is tonight in ann Arbor. The

1581
01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:02,040
Speaker 6: Michigan lead was sixteen to ten over Fresno State was

1582
01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:05,360
Speaker 6: six minutes to go. Thirty to ten is the final.

1583
01:19:05,720 --> 01:19:10,360
Speaker 6: Nebraska hosted UTEP, paying UTEP one point six million dollars

1584
01:19:10,360 --> 01:19:13,519
Speaker 6: for the visit. Nebraska led at the half thirty to seven.

1585
01:19:13,760 --> 01:19:16,240
Speaker 6: Forty to seven was the final. And then there's a

1586
01:19:16,280 --> 01:19:20,000
Speaker 6: game at South Carolina. Game Cocks paid Old Dominion one

1587
01:19:20,080 --> 01:19:24,200
Speaker 6: point five million dollars for the visit. The only game

1588
01:19:24,240 --> 01:19:27,479
Speaker 6: they'd had against an SEC opponent was ten years ago

1589
01:19:27,920 --> 01:19:32,000
Speaker 6: when Old Dominion ie at Vanderbilt. Tonight's or today, i

1590
01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:36,880
Speaker 6: should say, South Carolina edged ODU twenty three to nineteen,

1591
01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:41,000
Speaker 6: as South Carolina's only two touchdowns came right after the

1592
01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:44,880
Speaker 6: defense recovered fumbles inside the ten for a short field.

1593
01:19:45,320 --> 01:19:47,840
Speaker 6: And then there's the game at Kentucky, which went late

1594
01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:51,599
Speaker 6: into the night, finally called after midnight after a second

1595
01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:55,040
Speaker 6: weather delay. Kentucky was paying Southern miss nine hundred and

1596
01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:58,559
Speaker 6: fifty thousand for the visit, and they earned it after

1597
01:19:58,680 --> 01:20:00,760
Speaker 6: as long as this went thirty one to nothing in

1598
01:20:00,840 --> 01:20:03,639
Speaker 6: Kentucky as the game was called in the third quarter,

1599
01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:05,760
Speaker 6: and it was a long day at West Virginia. If

1600
01:20:05,760 --> 01:20:08,719
Speaker 6: you watch the Fox TV game, it was a final

1601
01:20:08,760 --> 01:20:11,679
Speaker 6: of Penn State thirty four to twelve over West Virginia.

1602
01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:14,240
Speaker 6: There was a weather delay at halftime of nearly two

1603
01:20:14,240 --> 01:20:16,800
Speaker 6: and a half hours there so it took roughly six

1604
01:20:16,920 --> 01:20:18,519
Speaker 6: hours to finish the game.

1605
01:20:18,360 --> 01:20:22,599
Speaker 2: Total Sega, thank you so much for craminin so much

Speaker 2: hour to break down more college football, more NFL. There's

01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:33,240

1624
01:21:31,560 --> 01:21:35,120
Speaker 2: through the final final hour of our show here on

1625
01:21:35,200 --> 01:21:37,920
Speaker 2: the opening Saturday of college football. As the SEGA just

1626
01:21:37,920 --> 01:21:41,720
Speaker 2: told you, bunch of games still on, including the Arizona

1627
01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:45,160
Speaker 2: Wildcats who are pulling away from the new Mexico Lobos.

1628
01:21:45,400 --> 01:21:50,960
Speaker 2: All Right, Jmart, college football Week one it's basically done.

1629
01:21:52,120 --> 01:21:54,120
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you the floor. We did open the

1630
01:21:54,160 --> 01:21:55,920
Speaker 2: show for people who missed it, go back and download

1631
01:21:55,920 --> 01:21:59,439
Speaker 2: the podcast. We did open by talking Florida Miami, and

1632
01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:03,120
Speaker 2: you're certainly welcome to go there if you want. But

1633
01:22:03,640 --> 01:22:06,360
Speaker 2: Week one, you know, and to be clear, we still

1634
01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:09,280
Speaker 2: have two games tomorrow, Tomorrow and Sunday and Monday, obviously

1635
01:22:09,320 --> 01:22:12,759
Speaker 2: headlined by lsu USC. What do you think the biggest

1636
01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:15,160
Speaker 2: story out of Week one of college football is?

1637
01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:21,640
Speaker 1: I still think it might be Florida State losing. I

1638
01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:23,760
Speaker 1: know that was a Week zero story, but I don't

1639
01:22:23,760 --> 01:22:26,439
Speaker 1: know that anything happened today that just completely blew me

1640
01:22:26,520 --> 01:22:30,639
Speaker 1: away or happened yesterday. I guess now that really blew

1641
01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:32,400
Speaker 1: me away in terms of something that's going to have

1642
01:22:32,520 --> 01:22:35,800
Speaker 1: long lasting impact. I think one team that exceeded my

1643
01:22:35,960 --> 01:22:39,600
Speaker 1: expectations for it early on was Penn State. Sure, we

1644
01:22:39,640 --> 01:22:41,719
Speaker 1: haven't really talked about them yet. I thought Drew Aller

1645
01:22:41,960 --> 01:22:46,280
Speaker 1: looked really good. They had one receiver that just had

1646
01:22:46,280 --> 01:22:48,679
Speaker 1: a crazy good day. Maybe the hype is a little

1647
01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:52,559
Speaker 1: too strong for West Virginia going in, but they showed

1648
01:22:52,640 --> 01:22:54,760
Speaker 1: up and played very well at Benn State, like they

1649
01:22:54,760 --> 01:22:57,200
Speaker 1: equated themselves. And they had that weird delay as well,

1650
01:22:57,280 --> 01:23:00,720
Speaker 1: whether delay that took forever, but they they were just

1651
01:23:00,760 --> 01:23:04,400
Speaker 1: far better than West Virginia in the hostile environment. So

1652
01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:06,640
Speaker 1: I think if you wanted too one team that I

1653
01:23:06,720 --> 01:23:10,360
Speaker 1: think really had a solid start to their season, it

1654
01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:12,640
Speaker 1: would be them. And then of course, yeah Michigan was

1655
01:23:12,680 --> 01:23:15,759
Speaker 1: a little bit flat, Oregon didn't have the best game.

1656
01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:18,720
Speaker 1: I think they're both going to be okay. When you

1657
01:23:18,720 --> 01:23:22,280
Speaker 1: look at Will Howard for Ohio State had three touchdowns

1658
01:23:22,280 --> 01:23:24,680
Speaker 1: in his debut, I think there's not really too much

1659
01:23:25,080 --> 01:23:27,120
Speaker 1: we know what kind of talent Ohio State has. It's

1660
01:23:27,200 --> 01:23:28,720
Speaker 1: just is the coach going to be ready and is

1661
01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:33,760
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly's offense still what it used to be in

1662
01:23:33,800 --> 01:23:35,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, is it's still going to be able

1663
01:23:35,960 --> 01:23:39,120
Speaker 1: to get things done? And then I think the marquee

1664
01:23:39,120 --> 01:23:42,600
Speaker 1: win of the day, just in terms of okay, this

1665
01:23:42,680 --> 01:23:45,280
Speaker 1: team might be for real, is certainly Miami, who we

1666
01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:48,519
Speaker 1: already talked about. You would say Georgia, but there's no

1667
01:23:48,560 --> 01:23:51,680
Speaker 1: surprise in what Georgia did. I think the way in

1668
01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:56,839
Speaker 1: which Miami manhandled Florida on the road in the swamp

1669
01:23:57,040 --> 01:23:59,519
Speaker 1: is probably the most impressive thing I saw all day.

1670
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:01,720
Speaker 2: All right, let's hit on a few different things there.

1671
01:24:01,760 --> 01:24:03,599
Speaker 2: First of all, let's start with Penn State. So Penn

1672
01:24:03,600 --> 01:24:07,200
Speaker 2: State wins thirty four to twelve at West Virginia. And

1673
01:24:07,240 --> 01:24:09,160
Speaker 2: you and I have both been critical of James Franklin

1674
01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:11,960
Speaker 2: in this program, but I will say a couple of things. One,

1675
01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:16,080
Speaker 2: we were promised a new look offense, and I get

1676
01:24:16,320 --> 01:24:17,200
Speaker 2: it's West Virginia.

1677
01:24:17,320 --> 01:24:18,679
Speaker 3: No one's confusing them with Georgia.

1678
01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:21,680
Speaker 2: But Drew Aller did look good eleven of seventeen, two

1679
01:24:21,760 --> 01:24:26,479
Speaker 2: hundred sixteen yards, a couple absolute dimes, and the run

1680
01:24:26,520 --> 01:24:29,200
Speaker 2: game got going two hundred and twenty two yards rushing

1681
01:24:29,240 --> 01:24:32,080
Speaker 2: five yards per carry. And the thing with Penn State

1682
01:24:32,200 --> 01:24:35,160
Speaker 2: is I think it's a couple of things. Is one, Listen,

1683
01:24:35,200 --> 01:24:38,000
Speaker 2: we have been sold and I was a little bit,

1684
01:24:38,120 --> 01:24:41,200
Speaker 2: you know, mocking of this the other day, but you know,

1685
01:24:41,240 --> 01:24:44,000
Speaker 2: we've been sold in a twelve team playoff. This is

1686
01:24:44,240 --> 01:24:46,120
Speaker 2: this is the kind of team, This is the kind

1687
01:24:46,120 --> 01:24:48,759
Speaker 2: of program I should say that the twelve team playoff

1688
01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:51,439
Speaker 2: was built for. Couldn't quite ever get over the hump

1689
01:24:51,479 --> 01:24:53,599
Speaker 2: with Ohio State in Michigan in the last five, six,

1690
01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:56,960
Speaker 2: seven years, but has been a very very very good

1691
01:24:57,000 --> 01:24:59,160
Speaker 2: team a lot of ten and two seasons, and we

1692
01:24:59,240 --> 01:25:00,920
Speaker 2: know the stats. I mean, if there had been a

1693
01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:03,760
Speaker 2: twelve team playoff the last ten years, they probably would

1694
01:25:03,800 --> 01:25:04,960
Speaker 2: have made it five six times.

1695
01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:06,759
Speaker 3: I wasn't sold.

1696
01:25:07,240 --> 01:25:10,200
Speaker 2: And maybe I'm over selling a little bit of what

1697
01:25:10,240 --> 01:25:12,120
Speaker 2: I saw today, but I'll tell you they had the

1698
01:25:12,160 --> 01:25:15,559
Speaker 2: new offensive coordinator, Drew Aler, did look better, the run

1699
01:25:15,600 --> 01:25:18,120
Speaker 2: game was as good as it's ever been.

1700
01:25:18,640 --> 01:25:20,760
Speaker 3: And the defense is still elite. And that's the one thing.

1701
01:25:20,760 --> 01:25:24,160
Speaker 2: You know, we could criticize James Franklin till whatever, but

1702
01:25:24,280 --> 01:25:27,680
Speaker 2: that defense has always been elite. And by the way,

1703
01:25:27,800 --> 01:25:29,479
Speaker 2: big part of the reason why I was excited last

1704
01:25:29,520 --> 01:25:31,360
Speaker 2: year was because I thought last year would be the

1705
01:25:31,439 --> 01:25:34,360
Speaker 2: year that Drew Aller broke out at the quarterback position.

1706
01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:37,439
Speaker 2: It didn't happen. But you look at this team, and

1707
01:25:37,439 --> 01:25:39,439
Speaker 2: now you look, by the way, at this schedule. How

1708
01:25:39,479 --> 01:25:43,800
Speaker 2: about this The next four Bowling Green, Kent State, Illinois,

1709
01:25:44,479 --> 01:25:49,040
Speaker 2: UCLA all at home, So they should go into an

1710
01:25:49,120 --> 01:25:54,040
Speaker 2: October twelfth matchup with USC at the LA Coliseum. They

1711
01:25:54,040 --> 01:25:56,720
Speaker 2: should be five and zero going into that game. And

1712
01:25:56,760 --> 01:25:59,280
Speaker 2: you start talking about a team that again is positioning

1713
01:25:59,320 --> 01:26:02,040
Speaker 2: itself to be one of those twelve teams. I gotta

1714
01:26:02,080 --> 01:26:03,840
Speaker 2: give credit where it's due. They did look better than

1715
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:05,200
Speaker 2: I was expecting today J Martin.

1716
01:26:05,760 --> 01:26:08,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think that's really helped needs to be said.

1717
01:26:08,400 --> 01:26:12,000
Speaker 1: They they pretty much did everything you wanted to see.

1718
01:26:12,040 --> 01:26:13,640
Speaker 1: We knew what they were going to be defensively, it

1719
01:26:13,680 --> 01:26:17,920
Speaker 1: was just what are they gonna do offensively? And uh,

1720
01:26:17,960 --> 01:26:21,040
Speaker 1: they showed up. And as long as that keeps happening.

1721
01:26:21,080 --> 01:26:23,680
Speaker 1: Now again, there are some of these teams where as

1722
01:26:23,680 --> 01:26:26,760
Speaker 1: we get deeper into the season, we'll see because in

1723
01:26:26,800 --> 01:26:29,559
Speaker 1: week one sometimes you can it can be a little

1724
01:26:29,560 --> 01:26:32,479
Speaker 1: smoke and mirrorsy, you can kind of do some things.

1725
01:26:33,040 --> 01:26:37,240
Speaker 1: Then there's some adjustments made or as the season wears on,

1726
01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:40,120
Speaker 1: some of your stuff doesn't work quite as well. But

1727
01:26:40,280 --> 01:26:43,519
Speaker 1: both Penn State and Miami I thought did things that

1728
01:26:43,680 --> 01:26:46,479
Speaker 1: they should be able to replicate now. And if Alaie

1729
01:26:46,560 --> 01:26:49,160
Speaker 1: is going to play like that and they're gonna spread

1730
01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:51,200
Speaker 1: the field and take some shots and be a little

1731
01:26:51,240 --> 01:26:56,000
Speaker 1: bit more aggressive, I I liked. I liked. I liked

1732
01:26:56,000 --> 01:26:58,640
Speaker 1: the way that Penn State team played, and I like

1733
01:26:58,720 --> 01:27:00,479
Speaker 1: the way that they looked there was It's just kind

1734
01:27:00,479 --> 01:27:02,040
Speaker 1: of a there was a bit more of a killer

1735
01:27:02,080 --> 01:27:04,639
Speaker 1: instinct to them than I've seen in previous years.

1736
01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:08,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, by the way, Penn State a sort of advantageous schedule.

1737
01:27:08,520 --> 01:27:10,200
Speaker 2: They do have to play Ohio State, but they get

1738
01:27:10,240 --> 01:27:13,839
Speaker 2: them at home. No Oregon, no Michigan on the schedule

1739
01:27:13,960 --> 01:27:15,800
Speaker 2: this year. So if you do think Michigan is in

1740
01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:19,240
Speaker 2: the mix as a playoff team, then Penn State got

1741
01:27:19,479 --> 01:27:21,160
Speaker 2: a couple breaks. You know, We'll see how they handle

1742
01:27:21,200 --> 01:27:24,800
Speaker 2: at UCUSC, We'll see how they handle at Wisconsin. But

1743
01:27:24,880 --> 01:27:27,720
Speaker 2: a pretty manageable schedule for Penn State. Let's go back

1744
01:27:27,720 --> 01:27:30,120
Speaker 2: to the Miami Florida game. Jmar and I actually want

1745
01:27:30,120 --> 01:27:34,920
Speaker 2: to go in the opposite direction. You mentioned Miami looking good,

1746
01:27:35,040 --> 01:27:37,760
Speaker 2: and they certainly did, and I think you know, we

1747
01:27:37,840 --> 01:27:40,640
Speaker 2: have to give credit to Miami for going into the

1748
01:27:40,640 --> 01:27:44,000
Speaker 2: swamp and taking care of business against a Florida Gators team.

1749
01:27:44,439 --> 01:27:47,320
Speaker 2: We talked quite a bit in our one about Miami

1750
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:50,920
Speaker 2: because they obviously play in the ACC and you look

1751
01:27:50,920 --> 01:27:55,400
Speaker 2: at Clemson just getting boat raced by by Georgia Florida State,

1752
01:27:55,439 --> 01:27:57,840
Speaker 2: as you mentioned earlier in the segment, losing to Georgia Tech.

1753
01:27:58,280 --> 01:28:00,960
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, you look at Miami and they

1754
01:28:00,960 --> 01:28:04,840
Speaker 2: should be the overwhelming favorite in the ACC going into

1755
01:28:05,200 --> 01:28:07,559
Speaker 2: you know, going into the heart of the season. But

1756
01:28:07,600 --> 01:28:09,800
Speaker 2: they take care of Florida. But the other part of

1757
01:28:09,840 --> 01:28:13,960
Speaker 2: the Florida story is that Florida again just an absolute

1758
01:28:14,080 --> 01:28:18,160
Speaker 2: debacle for their head coach Billy Napier. Florida is coming

1759
01:28:18,160 --> 01:28:21,240
Speaker 2: off back to back losing seasons. Last year was just

1760
01:28:21,320 --> 01:28:24,839
Speaker 2: an absolute train wreck. This was a team that needed

1761
01:28:24,920 --> 01:28:28,720
Speaker 2: to start off well, you're at home, it's an in

1762
01:28:28,920 --> 01:28:31,439
Speaker 2: state rival. And oh, by the way, as you've mentioned

1763
01:28:31,479 --> 01:28:33,799
Speaker 2: many times, j Mart, the back half of that schedule

1764
01:28:33,920 --> 01:28:36,639
Speaker 2: is insane. They still have to go to Tennessee, they

1765
01:28:36,640 --> 01:28:38,599
Speaker 2: have to go to Texas, they have to go to

1766
01:28:38,760 --> 01:28:41,400
Speaker 2: Florida State. They get Georgia at home or Georgia on

1767
01:28:41,479 --> 01:28:43,920
Speaker 2: a neutral field. Excuse me, in Jacksonville they get LSU

1768
01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:45,200
Speaker 2: at home. They get all miss at home.

1769
01:28:45,560 --> 01:28:46,519
Speaker 3: That's I think. I think.

1770
01:28:46,560 --> 01:28:48,760
Speaker 2: I just listed seven teams that were ranked in the

1771
01:28:48,760 --> 01:28:54,040
Speaker 2: top fifteen of the preseason polls. They needed this one

1772
01:28:54,160 --> 01:28:57,920
Speaker 2: on Saturday. They don't get it. And this does not

1773
01:28:58,000 --> 01:29:00,439
Speaker 2: look like a season that's going to turn in their direction.

1774
01:29:00,600 --> 01:29:01,240
Speaker 3: For the Gators.

1775
01:29:01,640 --> 01:29:04,599
Speaker 1: No, I mean, at this point, you should still have

1776
01:29:04,680 --> 01:29:07,360
Speaker 1: hope if you're virtually any team. And I look at

1777
01:29:07,400 --> 01:29:09,840
Speaker 1: them and I'm like, I don't see it. If they

1778
01:29:10,080 --> 01:29:14,519
Speaker 1: end up even Bowl eligible, they're gonna have had a

1779
01:29:14,560 --> 01:29:17,960
Speaker 1: really good year. That's how tough that schedule is. And

1780
01:29:18,080 --> 01:29:21,320
Speaker 1: to say that you're in that position. For Billy Napier,

1781
01:29:21,360 --> 01:29:25,320
Speaker 1: who really is coaching for his job, I don't envy

1782
01:29:25,360 --> 01:29:28,479
Speaker 1: his situation. He's gonna have to have pretty thick skin

1783
01:29:28,600 --> 01:29:32,000
Speaker 1: because it's gonna get ugly down there on SportsTalk radio,

1784
01:29:32,400 --> 01:29:34,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna get ugly in the printed press, it's gonna

1785
01:29:34,920 --> 01:29:38,120
Speaker 1: get ugly online. It's just gonna be a real negative feeling.

1786
01:29:38,160 --> 01:29:40,760
Speaker 1: And I think that the chances that the back half

1787
01:29:40,800 --> 01:29:43,720
Speaker 1: of the season is so bad that the spiral and

1788
01:29:43,760 --> 01:29:48,000
Speaker 1: the negativity gets almost untenable is very high. I think

1789
01:29:48,040 --> 01:29:49,840
Speaker 1: that probability is really high.

1790
01:29:49,920 --> 01:29:52,439
Speaker 2: Well, and that's why today was so important, because I

1791
01:29:52,479 --> 01:29:55,760
Speaker 2: think yeah, and I think even a positive like even

1792
01:29:55,800 --> 01:29:57,479
Speaker 2: a glasses half full Florida fan.

1793
01:29:57,560 --> 01:29:59,240
Speaker 3: And let me give credit to the fan base. I mean,

1794
01:29:59,280 --> 01:30:00,400
Speaker 3: they showed out today.

1795
01:30:00,560 --> 01:30:04,600
Speaker 2: I mean, if there was doubt coming into today, you

1796
01:30:04,720 --> 01:30:06,800
Speaker 2: wouldn't have known it looking at the swamp and I

1797
01:30:06,840 --> 01:30:09,679
Speaker 2: know everybody can say, oh, you know, it's the SEC.

1798
01:30:09,720 --> 01:30:12,240
Speaker 2: They all these schools get good crowds. They had ninety

1799
01:30:12,240 --> 01:30:15,000
Speaker 2: thousand people there that all they wanted to see was

1800
01:30:15,240 --> 01:30:17,439
Speaker 2: a good showing and a good product on the field,

1801
01:30:17,520 --> 01:30:20,479
Speaker 2: and it was the exact opposite. And now you don't

1802
01:30:20,520 --> 01:30:22,960
Speaker 2: get it. And I just don't know what you make

1803
01:30:23,160 --> 01:30:25,519
Speaker 2: of the rest of the season for this team, because,

1804
01:30:25,560 --> 01:30:28,040
Speaker 2: like you said, I just don't know where you start

1805
01:30:28,040 --> 01:30:31,040
Speaker 2: building momentum. I mean, again, we've talked about the schedule.

1806
01:30:31,320 --> 01:30:33,320
Speaker 2: I mentioned the tough games on the back half of

1807
01:30:33,320 --> 01:30:36,760
Speaker 2: the schedule. But two weeks from now they have A

1808
01:30:36,840 --> 01:30:38,880
Speaker 2: and M at home. A M at least has dudes

1809
01:30:38,920 --> 01:30:41,200
Speaker 2: on defense. We'll see if they figure out the offense. Listen,

1810
01:30:41,760 --> 01:30:45,839
Speaker 2: you go to Mississippi State I know Mississippi State isn't

1811
01:30:45,920 --> 01:30:48,720
Speaker 2: you know, whatever, but this is a team that put

1812
01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:51,599
Speaker 2: up fifty six points in their opener today, and at

1813
01:30:51,640 --> 01:30:52,800
Speaker 2: Mississippi State it's a.

1814
01:30:52,720 --> 01:30:53,479
Speaker 3: Tough place to play.

1815
01:30:53,479 --> 01:30:57,800
Speaker 2: Those cowbells get going, it's loud, and Florida's offense looked

1816
01:30:57,840 --> 01:31:01,200
Speaker 2: dysfunctional on their own home field today. Now part of

1817
01:31:01,240 --> 01:31:03,920
Speaker 2: it was Miami, but like you said it in our

1818
01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:06,000
Speaker 2: one Jmar, and I just agree with you. Is just

1819
01:31:06,600 --> 01:31:09,400
Speaker 2: you know, listen, we know they're not Georgia. I think

1820
01:31:09,400 --> 01:31:11,479
Speaker 2: their fans know they're not Georgia. I think their fans

1821
01:31:11,520 --> 01:31:14,640
Speaker 2: know that they're not Texas. They might not even be LSU.

1822
01:31:15,200 --> 01:31:17,000
Speaker 1: But they're not Tennessee either.

1823
01:31:17,320 --> 01:31:19,800
Speaker 3: They're not. The point I'm trying to get to is.

1824
01:31:19,920 --> 01:31:21,719
Speaker 1: Not that they're not a lot of teams they've fallen

1825
01:31:21,880 --> 01:31:22,479
Speaker 1: so far.

1826
01:31:23,200 --> 01:31:25,640
Speaker 2: You look at the schedule we don't have. I mean,

1827
01:31:25,680 --> 01:31:28,200
Speaker 2: we could go game, but there's just not they.

1828
01:31:28,400 --> 01:31:30,599
Speaker 1: I don't see the wins, man, I don't see them.

1829
01:31:31,640 --> 01:31:32,559
Speaker 3: That's what I was gonna tell me.

1830
01:31:32,600 --> 01:31:35,679
Speaker 1: Where they are outside of Samford and maybe Mississippi State.

1831
01:31:35,840 --> 01:31:38,960
Speaker 1: And you have that that seven games to end your

1832
01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:42,479
Speaker 1: season against all ranked teams except for Kentucky, but I mean,

1833
01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:45,000
Speaker 1: Kentucky is not gonna be an easy game. I mean,

1834
01:31:45,040 --> 01:31:47,840
Speaker 1: they're They're gonna be well coached. They always are. They've

1835
01:31:47,880 --> 01:31:51,240
Speaker 1: beaten you a few times recently as well, and that's

1836
01:31:51,320 --> 01:31:54,599
Speaker 1: the most winnable of all those games, unless Florida State

1837
01:31:54,680 --> 01:31:58,400
Speaker 1: really does completely fall apart. But even so, that just

1838
01:31:58,439 --> 01:32:00,960
Speaker 1: means you and them are kind of neck and to

1839
01:32:01,040 --> 01:32:04,599
Speaker 1: be mediocre at best. So I I'm not sure they

1840
01:32:04,680 --> 01:32:06,160
Speaker 1: win four games.

1841
01:32:06,640 --> 01:32:09,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, buy out his twenty six million dollars for billion

1842
01:32:09,760 --> 01:32:14,439
Speaker 2: eight yeer, I'll be curious, like when they would pull

1843
01:32:14,439 --> 01:32:17,639
Speaker 2: the plug, when they would pull the plug. By the way,

1844
01:32:17,880 --> 01:32:21,679
Speaker 2: I was reading today that twenty six million dollar buyout. Listen,

1845
01:32:21,720 --> 01:32:24,679
Speaker 2: if it happens, it would be the second highest behind

1846
01:32:24,680 --> 01:32:27,439
Speaker 2: only Jimbo Fisher in the history of college football. But

1847
01:32:27,560 --> 01:32:29,479
Speaker 2: I don't know how you can keep going on like

1848
01:32:29,520 --> 01:32:32,679
Speaker 2: this because the thing, and we mentioned this in hour one,

1849
01:32:32,920 --> 01:32:38,360
Speaker 2: it's year three and listen, I get that, uh, you know,

1850
01:32:38,560 --> 01:32:41,559
Speaker 2: nobody's a finished product in year three. But listen, Texas

1851
01:32:41,560 --> 01:32:44,400
Speaker 2: made the College Football Playoff last year in Sark's third year.

1852
01:32:45,640 --> 01:32:48,400
Speaker 2: Mario Cristobal, the guy that you that's where I think

1853
01:32:48,439 --> 01:32:51,040
Speaker 2: he's gonna have trouble explaining himself. This is the billion

1854
01:32:51,120 --> 01:32:54,120
Speaker 2: Apier of the Florida coach is Uh. The guy that

1855
01:32:54,240 --> 01:32:58,519
Speaker 2: you just lost to. Uh is in the third year,

1856
01:32:58,640 --> 01:33:01,160
Speaker 2: just like you are. He's had the same amount of time,

1857
01:33:02,240 --> 01:33:04,800
Speaker 2: you know, and you know whatever. I don't know what

1858
01:33:04,840 --> 01:33:07,839
Speaker 2: else there is to add. It's year three, You're Florida.

1859
01:33:07,960 --> 01:33:11,200
Speaker 2: You should never be this bad. And again, it's not

1860
01:33:11,280 --> 01:33:13,720
Speaker 2: just that you lost, you got embarrassed. I mean you

1861
01:33:13,760 --> 01:33:16,240
Speaker 2: give up over five hundred yards a total offense on

1862
01:33:16,360 --> 01:33:19,040
Speaker 2: the offensive side of the football, and then on the

1863
01:33:19,040 --> 01:33:20,840
Speaker 2: other side of the football you get two hundred and

1864
01:33:20,880 --> 01:33:23,960
Speaker 2: sixty one yards of total offense ninety or seventy one

1865
01:33:24,040 --> 01:33:27,439
Speaker 2: yards coming on one play, meaning you had one.

1866
01:33:27,320 --> 01:33:29,120
Speaker 3: Hundred and ninety yards the rest of the game.

1867
01:33:29,240 --> 01:33:31,439
Speaker 2: J mart I could go on and on, but I

1868
01:33:31,840 --> 01:33:33,800
Speaker 2: think I've I think I've made my point on billion

1869
01:33:33,840 --> 01:33:34,679
Speaker 2: Apier at this point.

1870
01:33:35,000 --> 01:33:37,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I guess we don't need to. This

1871
01:33:37,280 --> 01:33:41,599
Speaker 1: is the this is the Nelson Mounts Simpson meme right here,

1872
01:33:41,880 --> 01:33:45,080
Speaker 1: stop stop he's already dead. Ye Like yeah, like that's

1873
01:33:45,960 --> 01:33:49,559
Speaker 1: stop the fight. Basically, like this thing's a wrap. This

1874
01:33:49,800 --> 01:33:54,519
Speaker 1: was one that at the very least it needed to

1875
01:33:54,560 --> 01:33:58,360
Speaker 1: be competitive. This needed to be close, This needed to

1876
01:33:58,360 --> 01:34:02,000
Speaker 1: be a dog fight. This needed to show people, oh, okay,

1877
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:04,720
Speaker 1: Florida is not going to be punched around. And and

1878
01:34:04,760 --> 01:34:08,120
Speaker 1: then you again, you had a quarterback switch in the

1879
01:34:08,120 --> 01:34:11,559
Speaker 1: first game of the season on your home field, and

1880
01:34:11,640 --> 01:34:14,920
Speaker 1: the guy that you put in, put in that was

1881
01:34:14,960 --> 01:34:18,120
Speaker 1: not the starter, was able to do a little bit.

1882
01:34:18,320 --> 01:34:20,240
Speaker 1: So what does that say about what's been happening in

1883
01:34:20,280 --> 01:34:22,839
Speaker 1: the offseat. It's just bad. There's no I have almost

1884
01:34:22,880 --> 01:34:24,679
Speaker 1: nothing positive to say. They have a couple of skill

1885
01:34:24,760 --> 01:34:28,439
Speaker 1: position guys that are fast and elusive, and you know

1886
01:34:28,439 --> 01:34:31,120
Speaker 1: they're probably going to play on Sundays, but generally Florida

1887
01:34:31,200 --> 01:34:33,599
Speaker 1: is just in. This is about the worst position I've

1888
01:34:33,600 --> 01:34:37,640
Speaker 1: seen Florida in consistently for three four years of my

1889
01:34:37,840 --> 01:34:38,840
Speaker 1: entire life.

1890
01:34:38,720 --> 01:34:39,240
Speaker 3: No doubt.

1891
01:34:39,280 --> 01:34:41,120
Speaker 2: And by the way, you mentioned you know, maybe they

1892
01:34:41,120 --> 01:34:43,519
Speaker 2: have a wide receiver hero well, a couple things mentioned.

1893
01:34:43,600 --> 01:34:45,439
Speaker 2: They have a wide receiver here there that could play

1894
01:34:45,439 --> 01:34:48,240
Speaker 2: on Sundays. Florida should have players at every position that

1895
01:34:48,280 --> 01:34:51,599
Speaker 2: can out absolutely. And the other thing that's kind of crazy.

1896
01:34:51,800 --> 01:34:54,719
Speaker 2: You mentioned the quarterback situation. So your starter gram Mertz

1897
01:34:54,760 --> 01:34:57,920
Speaker 2: gets hurt, the backup DJ Lagway comes in, he was

1898
01:34:57,960 --> 01:35:01,519
Speaker 2: the former number one recruit in America. And the thing

1899
01:35:01,560 --> 01:35:05,160
Speaker 2: that was like wild to me, which speaks to just

1900
01:35:05,479 --> 01:35:07,600
Speaker 2: the incompetence of the program.

1901
01:35:08,120 --> 01:35:10,200
Speaker 3: They had him running the football.

1902
01:35:10,479 --> 01:35:14,960
Speaker 2: It's like he's the backup quarterback, your sixty year starter

1903
01:35:15,120 --> 01:35:18,800
Speaker 2: gets hurt. He's the future of the program, you know,

1904
01:35:18,840 --> 01:35:20,719
Speaker 2: in this portal world. Who knows if he'll stay.

1905
01:35:20,720 --> 01:35:21,639
Speaker 3: But like the.

1906
01:35:21,479 --> 01:35:24,559
Speaker 2: Point is is that, like it's little stuff like that

1907
01:35:24,560 --> 01:35:27,439
Speaker 2: that it's like, you know, you're you're getting killed. Your

1908
01:35:27,479 --> 01:35:30,720
Speaker 2: backup quarterback is in. He's a true freshman that you've

1909
01:35:30,760 --> 01:35:33,720
Speaker 2: been raving about. And listen, you know, if it got

1910
01:35:33,760 --> 01:35:35,920
Speaker 2: bad and you just wanted to put put him in

1911
01:35:36,040 --> 01:35:38,080
Speaker 2: just to see what he had a couple series here

1912
01:35:38,160 --> 01:35:41,240
Speaker 2: or there, whatever, but the starter got hurt, and so

1913
01:35:41,360 --> 01:35:43,639
Speaker 2: it's like now you're putting them in, and you're putting

1914
01:35:43,680 --> 01:35:45,760
Speaker 2: this kid in harm's way. It just speaks to it's

1915
01:35:45,840 --> 01:35:48,200
Speaker 2: just a total mess there right now. And to what

1916
01:35:48,240 --> 01:35:50,840
Speaker 2: you just said a few seconds ago, J Mart just

1917
01:35:50,960 --> 01:35:53,920
Speaker 2: you just you can't Florida can't be this bad.

1918
01:35:54,040 --> 01:35:55,519
Speaker 3: Just can't be this bad. It's that simple.

1919
01:35:56,560 --> 01:35:59,479
Speaker 1: No, they can't and they won't stand for it. And

1920
01:35:59,520 --> 01:36:01,880
Speaker 1: there's enough money that twenty six million is not going

1921
01:36:01,960 --> 01:36:05,280
Speaker 1: to be enough to keep him there. It's just not

1922
01:36:05,439 --> 01:36:07,080
Speaker 1: And I think Napier is going to go somewhere else

1923
01:36:07,080 --> 01:36:09,680
Speaker 1: and be successful. And I don't know if it's ever

1924
01:36:09,680 --> 01:36:11,840
Speaker 1: going to be as high level again as that. And

1925
01:36:12,120 --> 01:36:15,040
Speaker 1: we've seen this, right, it's not a it's not an

1926
01:36:15,120 --> 01:36:17,639
Speaker 1: exact science, and it's not perfect, and it doesn't work

1927
01:36:17,680 --> 01:36:20,000
Speaker 1: and or not work every time. But there have been

1928
01:36:20,040 --> 01:36:24,400
Speaker 1: a lot of you call unquote mid major coaches that

1929
01:36:24,439 --> 01:36:27,439
Speaker 1: have then stepped up into a big time job under

1930
01:36:27,439 --> 01:36:30,400
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure and failed. And he's just well,

1931
01:36:30,439 --> 01:36:33,840
Speaker 1: maybe that was his level, and he's obviously really good there,

1932
01:36:33,880 --> 01:36:36,280
Speaker 1: and I still think he could be good at a

1933
01:36:36,280 --> 01:36:38,320
Speaker 1: at a school without the pressure cooker. But he walked

1934
01:36:38,320 --> 01:36:42,400
Speaker 1: into a bad situation and hit the ground. You would

1935
01:36:42,439 --> 01:36:44,000
Speaker 1: say hit the ground running, but he didn't. He hit

1936
01:36:44,040 --> 01:36:45,559
Speaker 1: the ground like bare.

1937
01:36:45,640 --> 01:36:49,320
Speaker 3: He just hit the ground. Yeah, he's just rights the ground.

1938
01:36:49,600 --> 01:36:51,719
Speaker 1: He jumped out of an airplane and the shoot failed,

1939
01:36:51,760 --> 01:36:54,840
Speaker 1: like it just it just nothing has felt right there

1940
01:36:55,479 --> 01:36:59,600
Speaker 1: for him. I can't imagine that in his head, in

1941
01:36:59,640 --> 01:37:03,519
Speaker 1: his wife dreams, he thought that it could go this south,

1942
01:37:03,640 --> 01:37:06,960
Speaker 1: this fast. I'm stunned at how poorly it's gone.

1943
01:37:07,880 --> 01:37:09,479
Speaker 3: It is poor, it is bad.

1944
01:37:09,600 --> 01:37:14,600
Speaker 2: Florida loses forty one to seventeen to the Miami Hurricanes.

1945
01:37:14,640 --> 01:37:16,080
Speaker 2: By the way, and I know we said it already,

1946
01:37:16,080 --> 01:37:18,760
Speaker 2: but credit to Miami for UH for taking care of

1947
01:37:18,800 --> 01:37:22,200
Speaker 2: business and they do look good as bad as Florida did.

Speaker 3: even a dad Andy Ferman team.

2002
01:40:24,000 --> 01:40:25,960

2003
01:40:26,040 --> 01:40:30,759

2045
01:42:53,240 --> 01:42:56,120
Speaker 6: you see the Northwestern game today? For two years they're

2046
01:42:56,120 --> 01:42:58,960
Speaker 6: having to play in a temporary stadium on campus, so

2047
01:42:59,080 --> 01:43:03,759
Speaker 6: attendance was twelve thousand. They beat Miami, Ohio thirteen to six.

2048
01:43:03,840 --> 01:43:05,800
Speaker 6: But that would be a great little place to see

2049
01:43:05,800 --> 01:43:09,360
Speaker 6: a game. They turned the practice field into a stadium.

2050
01:43:09,560 --> 01:43:12,840
Speaker 6: There's only so much room for seats on the sidelines though,

2051
01:43:13,479 --> 01:43:16,960
Speaker 6: otherwise you'll be going into Lake Michigan, so a lot

2052
01:43:17,000 --> 01:43:19,639
Speaker 6: of the seats are behind each end zone. But they

2053
01:43:19,640 --> 01:43:24,920
Speaker 6: did somehow stuff a field and a quasi temp stadium

2054
01:43:24,960 --> 01:43:29,479
Speaker 6: there for two years worth on the Northwestern campus. Updating

Speaker 6: in serious but stable condition after being shot today in

2057
01:43:35,280 --> 01:43:38,400
Speaker 6: a robbery attempt. He was able to walk to the ambulance.

2058
01:43:38,439 --> 01:43:41,519
Speaker 6: He had played at Florida and Arizona State. He's from Phoenix.

2059
01:43:41,600 --> 01:43:44,400
Speaker 2: Back to you, Thank you very much, Steve sag Saga,

2060
01:43:44,439 --> 01:43:47,679
Speaker 2: have a great evening. Sega will be back tomorrow.

2061
01:43:47,160 --> 01:43:51,080
Speaker 1: With Iowa scoring forty. I was did a message and

2062
01:43:51,080 --> 01:43:52,960
Speaker 1: I thought, this has got to be a record. Well,

2063
01:43:53,000 --> 01:43:55,120
Speaker 1: it is the most of they've scored since twenty twenty

2064
01:43:55,160 --> 01:43:56,759
Speaker 1: one in any game.

2065
01:43:57,160 --> 01:43:59,200
Speaker 6: We were debating on the previous show if it's going

2066
01:43:59,240 --> 01:44:02,200
Speaker 6: to take another three games total to score forty, Well,

2067
01:44:02,240 --> 01:44:02,760
Speaker 6: yeah it might.

2068
01:44:02,800 --> 01:44:06,120
Speaker 1: And here's the funny thing. The most hilarious part about

2069
01:44:06,160 --> 01:44:08,559
Speaker 1: them scoring forty is that Farence wasn't coaching.

2070
01:44:08,640 --> 01:44:09,840
Speaker 3: That's what I was gonna say.

2071
01:44:10,320 --> 01:44:11,000
Speaker 4: He suspended.

2072
01:44:11,120 --> 01:44:11,400
Speaker 1: Funny.

2073
01:44:14,080 --> 01:44:15,000
Speaker 3: I was gonna say that.

2074
01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:16,840
Speaker 2: That was the funny part was, you know, I don't

2075
01:44:16,880 --> 01:44:18,679
Speaker 2: know if if that was part of the reason why.

2076
01:44:18,800 --> 01:44:20,800
Speaker 2: By the way, at one point it was like three

2077
01:44:20,840 --> 01:44:24,040
Speaker 2: to three or three to nothing, you know, pretty significantly,

2078
01:44:24,200 --> 01:44:29,600
Speaker 2: uh into the into the lay first. Then they unstoppable,

2079
01:44:29,640 --> 01:44:32,320
Speaker 2: those Iowa guys. All right, to Sega, we appreciate you.

2080
01:44:32,360 --> 01:44:36,760
Speaker 2: Disagura be back tomorrow with a pair of shows, including

2083
01:44:45,280 --> 01:44:47,880
Speaker 2: All right, j mart So you speaking of Bernie Fredde

2084
01:44:47,880 --> 01:44:50,559
Speaker 2: you filled in for Bernie Freddo on his Friday into

2085
01:44:50,720 --> 01:44:54,920
Speaker 2: Saturday show. Obviously it's what two am Eastern time, uh,

2086
01:44:54,960 --> 01:44:59,120
Speaker 2: Saturday morning, and you were you were flying solo. But

2087
01:44:59,120 --> 01:45:01,960
Speaker 2: but you they hit out an interesting topic and I'm

2088
01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:06,240
Speaker 2: gonna let you present it because you know you did

2089
01:45:06,280 --> 01:45:08,400
Speaker 2: it and people can obviously catch what you did on

2090
01:45:08,439 --> 01:45:11,599
Speaker 2: Bernie's show on podcast. But what was the big NFL

2091
01:45:11,680 --> 01:45:14,559
Speaker 2: topic that really kind of caught the audience's attention on

2092
01:45:14,720 --> 01:45:16,160
Speaker 2: Sunday on Saturday morning?

2093
01:45:16,640 --> 01:45:19,240
Speaker 1: Well, I was looking at the list that came out

2094
01:45:19,280 --> 01:45:23,200
Speaker 1: of the overrated players and biggest trash talkers and all

2095
01:45:23,240 --> 01:45:27,240
Speaker 1: that that came out from a major outlet earlier this week,

2096
01:45:27,720 --> 01:45:30,240
Speaker 1: and it kind of led me to the question, and

2097
01:45:30,280 --> 01:45:32,040
Speaker 1: it just led me into the AFC because I think

2098
01:45:32,080 --> 01:45:34,080
Speaker 1: you could do one for the NFC as well, a

2099
01:45:34,120 --> 01:45:37,240
Speaker 1: similar question. But I was thinking about who was entering

2100
01:45:37,240 --> 01:45:40,360
Speaker 1: the season with the most pressure, and I remember, like

2101
01:45:40,439 --> 01:45:42,040
Speaker 1: every year I kind of try to figure this out.

2102
01:45:42,080 --> 01:45:44,200
Speaker 1: I remember one year I thought it was Matthew Stafford

2103
01:45:44,760 --> 01:45:46,679
Speaker 1: and he ended up winning the Super Bowl that year.

2104
01:45:48,120 --> 01:45:51,280
Speaker 1: So it often goes right, But who is it that's

2105
01:45:51,400 --> 01:45:53,519
Speaker 1: entering this season? With the most pressure, and I just

2106
01:45:53,600 --> 01:45:58,080
Speaker 1: limited it to AFC quarterbacks, And I just listed three guys,

2107
01:45:58,760 --> 01:46:00,680
Speaker 1: And I think you could make an argument for a

2108
01:46:00,680 --> 01:46:04,599
Speaker 1: couple of others that I didn't mention. But the three

2109
01:46:04,680 --> 01:46:07,479
Speaker 1: that I mentioned were Josh Allen, who was number one

2110
01:46:07,680 --> 01:46:11,360
Speaker 1: and most overrated in the list and number one in

2111
01:46:11,439 --> 01:46:16,719
Speaker 1: biggest trash talkers as well. Number two, I had Lamar Jackson,

2112
01:46:16,800 --> 01:46:18,320
Speaker 1: and then I had Tua. And the reason I had

2113
01:46:18,320 --> 01:46:20,920
Speaker 1: too is because the weapons around him, and it's like, well,

2114
01:46:20,960 --> 01:46:25,000
Speaker 1: Miami could win if if Tua was just consistent against

2115
01:46:25,040 --> 01:46:30,599
Speaker 1: the better opponents, Miami could be unstoppable because we believe

2116
01:46:30,640 --> 01:46:32,479
Speaker 1: in the offensive system and we know what kind of

2117
01:46:32,479 --> 01:46:36,160
Speaker 1: skill talent they have. But then there's the quarterback issue

2118
01:46:36,200 --> 01:46:40,840
Speaker 1: and his inconsistency at times and his limitations that show

2119
01:46:40,880 --> 01:46:43,000
Speaker 1: here and there. So those were the three that I mentioned,

2120
01:46:43,400 --> 01:46:46,760
Speaker 1: All of them because their teams are in bright places

2121
01:46:47,200 --> 01:46:50,880
Speaker 1: or they have been in recent years. And so again,

2122
01:46:51,000 --> 01:46:56,439
Speaker 1: Alan Jackson, Tua, what would you say.

2123
01:46:55,479 --> 01:47:02,919
Speaker 3: I would probably say, Josh Allen. You know Lamar.

2124
01:47:04,320 --> 01:47:08,120
Speaker 2: I get that Lamar has the two MVPs, and I

2125
01:47:08,200 --> 01:47:10,080
Speaker 2: might be the only one that still feels this way.

2126
01:47:10,840 --> 01:47:14,160
Speaker 2: I still don't put that AFC Championship game performance on him.

2127
01:47:14,400 --> 01:47:17,040
Speaker 2: I just thought it was such a poorly called game

2128
01:47:17,560 --> 01:47:21,160
Speaker 2: by Todd munkin the offensive coordinator. They got away from

2129
01:47:21,240 --> 01:47:23,960
Speaker 2: the run, They got away from what made them successful.

2130
01:47:24,360 --> 01:47:29,479
Speaker 2: When I look at Josh Allen like, I just like, like.

2131
01:47:29,560 --> 01:47:30,520
Speaker 3: How long.

2132
01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:34,360
Speaker 2: Even Lamar Lamar played at least played in the AFC

2133
01:47:34,439 --> 01:47:39,200
Speaker 2: Championship game, Like, how long can Josh Allen like hang

2134
01:47:39,479 --> 01:47:44,880
Speaker 2: on this almost beat Mahomes? You know, the highlight of

2135
01:47:44,920 --> 01:47:50,280
Speaker 2: Josh Allen's career, up by up, up with fourteen seconds

2136
01:47:50,320 --> 01:47:53,479
Speaker 2: to go against Patrick Mahomes in a playoff game. That

2137
01:47:53,720 --> 01:47:55,360
Speaker 2: is the highlight of his career. I guess it was

2138
01:47:55,360 --> 01:47:57,599
Speaker 2: technically thirteen seconds when they got the ball back. Whatever,

2139
01:47:57,920 --> 01:48:00,000
Speaker 2: what I'm trying to make that's highlight of his career.

2140
01:48:00,640 --> 01:48:03,559
Speaker 2: Got to one AFC Championship game at the beginning of

2141
01:48:03,600 --> 01:48:09,200
Speaker 2: this run and they got destroyed. At least Lamar was competitive. Now,

2142
01:48:09,280 --> 01:48:11,320
Speaker 2: I don't think Lamar, You know, if Lamar plays a

2143
01:48:11,320 --> 01:48:13,840
Speaker 2: full season, I don't think you can miss the playoffs

2144
01:48:13,920 --> 01:48:14,760
Speaker 2: or something like that.

2145
01:48:15,280 --> 01:48:16,720
Speaker 3: I think there's pressure on both of them.

2146
01:48:16,760 --> 01:48:19,120
Speaker 2: But to try to cut myself off here because I'm

2147
01:48:19,120 --> 01:48:22,559
Speaker 2: getting long winded, I do believe that. To me, it's

2148
01:48:22,640 --> 01:48:23,200
Speaker 2: Josh Allen.

2149
01:48:23,600 --> 01:48:25,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, see, I agree with you. I think it's Allen,

2150
01:48:25,400 --> 01:48:27,439
Speaker 1: and I'm not even sure it's all that close, although

2151
01:48:27,479 --> 01:48:30,400
Speaker 1: I definitely had Lamar second into a third in that list.

2152
01:48:31,400 --> 01:48:34,600
Speaker 1: The reason for it is if you go back to

2153
01:48:34,680 --> 01:48:37,400
Speaker 1: the first two years of Josh Allen's career, he was

2154
01:48:37,439 --> 01:48:40,080
Speaker 1: five and six as a rookie, then he was ten

2155
01:48:40,120 --> 01:48:44,080
Speaker 1: and six. In his sophomore season, he had ten touchdowns

2156
01:48:44,080 --> 01:48:46,400
Speaker 1: to twelve picks, and then he had twenty touchdowns to

2157
01:48:46,479 --> 01:48:49,799
Speaker 1: nine interceptions. Do you know what happened between the second

2158
01:48:49,840 --> 01:48:54,160
Speaker 1: year of his career and the third year. He had

2159
01:48:54,200 --> 01:48:56,840
Speaker 1: a fifty three percent completion percentage and a fifty nine

2160
01:48:56,880 --> 01:48:59,479
Speaker 1: percent completion percentage, and then he came out the next

2161
01:48:59,560 --> 01:49:03,040
Speaker 1: year after having a combined thirty touchdowns in his first

2162
01:49:03,080 --> 01:49:06,800
Speaker 1: two seasons, he had thirty seven. Oh, they had it

2163
01:49:06,880 --> 01:49:10,240
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs. Yeah, that was that's a guess. He went

2164
01:49:10,240 --> 01:49:13,120
Speaker 1: from fifty two and fifty eight percent completion to sixty

2165
01:49:13,200 --> 01:49:17,160
Speaker 1: nine percent completion percentage, and then he went sixty three,

2166
01:49:17,280 --> 01:49:21,440
Speaker 1: sixty three and sixty six. He went ten touchdowns, twenty touchdowns,

2167
01:49:21,560 --> 01:49:23,840
Speaker 1: they got digs, and then he went thirty seven, thirty six,

2168
01:49:23,960 --> 01:49:28,320
Speaker 1: thirty five, and twenty nine. Everything changed. And that is

2169
01:49:28,439 --> 01:49:31,280
Speaker 1: not to suggest I mean they got better around him,

2170
01:49:31,280 --> 01:49:33,040
Speaker 1: and they did some other things, and the Bills became

2171
01:49:33,080 --> 01:49:35,240
Speaker 1: a better team and they built around Josh Allen the

2172
01:49:35,240 --> 01:49:37,800
Speaker 1: way that you're supposed to. And this isn't a slight

2173
01:49:37,880 --> 01:49:40,960
Speaker 1: on Allen in any way. I'm just trying to look

2174
01:49:41,000 --> 01:49:44,360
Speaker 1: at this from how I think it will be talked about.

2175
01:49:44,520 --> 01:49:46,760
Speaker 1: This isn't necessarily how I would go about it, because

2176
01:49:46,800 --> 01:49:51,920
Speaker 1: I really like Josh Allen, but Diggs is gone. They

2177
01:49:52,040 --> 01:49:55,160
Speaker 1: have the biggest loss, the loss that they couldn't have,

2178
01:49:55,240 --> 01:49:57,080
Speaker 1: is the one against the Bengals in the playoffs when

2179
01:49:57,120 --> 01:50:00,360
Speaker 1: they got embarrassed like that was a bad loss, really

2180
01:50:00,360 --> 01:50:03,080
Speaker 1: bad loss for them. They still got McDermott back, and

2181
01:50:03,120 --> 01:50:06,880
Speaker 1: that's always kind of been the out for Allen. Even

2182
01:50:06,920 --> 01:50:09,200
Speaker 1: when it's been you know, a throw he's made here

2183
01:50:09,200 --> 01:50:12,320
Speaker 1: and there, or too many turnovers or something like that.

2184
01:50:12,400 --> 01:50:15,560
Speaker 1: He's still had, you know, fifteen, fourteen and eighteen interceptions

2185
01:50:15,560 --> 01:50:17,960
Speaker 1: in his last three seasons in the league. But now

2186
01:50:18,000 --> 01:50:20,360
Speaker 1: the Digs has gone, and not just Digs, but all

2187
01:50:20,360 --> 01:50:22,439
Speaker 1: these other guys, all the guys that he's used to

2188
01:50:22,520 --> 01:50:24,719
Speaker 1: throw into are now gone. So they've got new guys

2189
01:50:24,720 --> 01:50:27,720
Speaker 1: in and maybe they're going to be studs. But if

2190
01:50:27,720 --> 01:50:30,200
Speaker 1: he tries to play hero ball too much, if he

2191
01:50:30,280 --> 01:50:33,439
Speaker 1: tries to do it all himself and he drops back

2192
01:50:33,439 --> 01:50:37,120
Speaker 1: to a fifty eight percent completion percentage quarterback, I don't

2193
01:50:37,120 --> 01:50:39,320
Speaker 1: think the grace is going to be there for Josh Allen.

2194
01:50:39,880 --> 01:50:44,160
Speaker 1: I think that you look at it most overrated and

2195
01:50:44,240 --> 01:50:46,919
Speaker 1: those kinds of things. I don't think he's done anything

2196
01:50:47,000 --> 01:50:50,040
Speaker 1: to make people dislike him. I think he's a pretty

2197
01:50:50,080 --> 01:50:52,679
Speaker 1: likable guy. I also just look at it and say,

2198
01:50:53,160 --> 01:50:56,200
Speaker 1: if they struggle, I think the narrative will be well.

2199
01:50:56,479 --> 01:51:00,200
Speaker 1: Josh Allen couldn't make those guys better. He was not

2200
01:51:00,400 --> 01:51:05,040
Speaker 1: able to bring them up. Because here's this problem. Mahomes

2201
01:51:05,080 --> 01:51:09,120
Speaker 1: has already done it. Mahomes has had Travis Kelcey the

2202
01:51:09,160 --> 01:51:12,719
Speaker 1: whole time, but they lost Tyreek Hill. They've brought in guys.

2203
01:51:12,760 --> 01:51:14,479
Speaker 1: They had young guys last year and it took some

2204
01:51:14,560 --> 01:51:16,479
Speaker 1: time to jail. But you know how that season ended

2205
01:51:16,520 --> 01:51:19,559
Speaker 1: with a super Bowl. That's the problem for Josh Allen.

2206
01:51:20,080 --> 01:51:22,920
Speaker 1: Even if they're struggling here and there, but they reach

2207
01:51:23,000 --> 01:51:25,599
Speaker 1: a super Bowl, we're having a different discussion. But that's

2208
01:51:25,600 --> 01:51:27,479
Speaker 1: why I think he has all the pressure on him

2209
01:51:27,520 --> 01:51:30,679
Speaker 1: because he's gonna have to do more and he's gonna

2210
01:51:30,720 --> 01:51:33,639
Speaker 1: have to be more careful with the football because he's

2211
01:51:33,640 --> 01:51:36,040
Speaker 1: not gonna have the same kind of trust in chemistry

2212
01:51:36,080 --> 01:51:39,559
Speaker 1: with his receivers that he has in this last stretch.

2213
01:51:39,640 --> 01:51:41,840
Speaker 1: And if you lose Stefan Diggs and then they're ten

2214
01:51:41,960 --> 01:51:46,120
Speaker 1: touchdowns worse, that's going to reflect poorly on the quarterback

2215
01:51:46,200 --> 01:51:47,840
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be like, well, maybe this was a

2216
01:51:47,840 --> 01:51:50,800
Speaker 1: lot more Stefan Diggs than it was Josh Allen. Yeah.

2217
01:51:50,800 --> 01:51:54,519
Speaker 2: And I think the other thing, too, is is that

2218
01:51:54,600 --> 01:51:57,600
Speaker 2: when you look at Josh Allen, I just think it

2219
01:51:57,680 --> 01:52:00,840
Speaker 2: a certain like we know that You'll McDermott kind of

2220
01:52:00,880 --> 01:52:02,240
Speaker 2: is what he is at this point. But at some

2221
01:52:02,320 --> 01:52:05,240
Speaker 2: point that can't be a crutch if you're truly elite.

2222
01:52:05,280 --> 01:52:06,800
Speaker 2: And it's funny, I'll be quick here because we were

2223
01:52:06,800 --> 01:52:09,439
Speaker 2: short on time, but I filled in the day that

2224
01:52:09,439 --> 01:52:13,320
Speaker 2: that poll came out, and I said, I think Josh

2225
01:52:13,360 --> 01:52:16,760
Speaker 2: Allen is both overrated but not overrated. And I think

2226
01:52:16,800 --> 01:52:20,120
Speaker 2: the only reason we think of him as overrated is

2227
01:52:20,200 --> 01:52:24,200
Speaker 2: because I think it sounds weird. I think we have

2228
01:52:24,280 --> 01:52:27,400
Speaker 2: to blame Patrick Mahomes. And what I mean by that,

2229
01:52:27,479 --> 01:52:28,920
Speaker 2: and I think you know where I'm going with this

2230
01:52:29,120 --> 01:52:32,680
Speaker 2: is that Patrick Mahomes is on his own level. But

2231
01:52:33,040 --> 01:52:35,800
Speaker 2: it's boring to just acknowledge that Patrick Mahomes is by

2232
01:52:35,840 --> 01:52:38,040
Speaker 2: far the best quarterback in the NFL and no one

2233
01:52:38,200 --> 01:52:41,080
Speaker 2: is on his tier, and so we keep trying to

2234
01:52:41,360 --> 01:52:46,519
Speaker 2: prop guys up to be mahomes equivalent, his equal, and

2235
01:52:46,560 --> 01:52:48,880
Speaker 2: there isn't a player in the NFL right now that

2236
01:52:48,920 --> 01:52:50,680
Speaker 2: has proven to be able to do that time and

2237
01:52:50,720 --> 01:52:52,680
Speaker 2: time again. I guess Joe Burrow is closest, but he

2238
01:52:52,680 --> 01:52:53,479
Speaker 2: gets hurt all the time.

2239
01:52:53,560 --> 01:52:56,040
Speaker 3: Whatever. So I just bring it up because.

2240
01:52:56,240 --> 01:52:59,920
Speaker 2: Josh Allen is only overrated because we keep trying to

2241
01:53:00,160 --> 01:53:02,920
Speaker 2: you make Kim Patrick Mahomes' rival, and he hasn't proven

2242
01:53:02,960 --> 01:53:06,200
Speaker 2: to be. So this all still does speak to the

2243
01:53:06,240 --> 01:53:09,120
Speaker 2: fact that at some point you gotta win games that matter,

2244
01:53:09,240 --> 01:53:12,680
Speaker 2: j Mart But I think to me, the answer is

2245
01:53:12,760 --> 01:53:14,599
Speaker 2: Josh Allen for all the reasons that we both.

2246
01:53:14,560 --> 01:53:16,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's a really good point, by the way,

2247
01:53:16,280 --> 01:53:18,559
Speaker 1: and I can give you another example of when that's

2248
01:53:18,560 --> 01:53:22,280
Speaker 1: happened multiple times around one athlete where they've tried to

2249
01:53:22,280 --> 01:53:25,320
Speaker 1: find a rival that never existed Tiger Woods at the

2250
01:53:25,320 --> 01:53:28,599
Speaker 1: turn of the century. Sure, when Tiger Woods was having

2251
01:53:28,640 --> 01:53:31,519
Speaker 1: the run that we'll never see again in golf or

2252
01:53:31,520 --> 01:53:35,080
Speaker 1: anywhere else, just the most sinilating stuff. You had to

2253
01:53:35,080 --> 01:53:37,680
Speaker 1: watch it week after week and year after year. It

2254
01:53:37,720 --> 01:53:40,880
Speaker 1: was somebody knew that was going to be there to challenge.

2255
01:53:40,920 --> 01:53:42,800
Speaker 1: Look at this guy's distance, look at this guy on

2256
01:53:42,800 --> 01:53:45,040
Speaker 1: the greens, all this stuff, and all of them failed.

2257
01:53:45,760 --> 01:53:50,040
Speaker 1: All of them failed. Underneath that scrutiny, it's okay to

2258
01:53:50,120 --> 01:53:52,720
Speaker 1: just say Mahomes is one of one and then say

2259
01:53:52,800 --> 01:53:54,960
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is an all star level player, and he's

2260
01:53:55,000 --> 01:53:56,160
Speaker 1: going to be a Hall of Famer, and he's an

2261
01:53:56,160 --> 01:54:00,519
Speaker 1: incredible player. But Mahomes is something completely different. I don't

2262
01:54:00,560 --> 01:54:03,160
Speaker 1: think you should be anointing arrival until the rival has

2263
01:54:03,200 --> 01:54:05,320
Speaker 1: a ring of his own, and that hasn't happened.

2264
01:54:05,040 --> 01:54:08,479
Speaker 2: Yet, has not happened. But yeah, I think we both

2265
01:54:08,520 --> 01:54:11,960
Speaker 2: agree Josh Allen does have the most pressure in the NFL.

2266
01:54:12,040 --> 01:54:15,120
Speaker 2: Right now, Fox Sports Radio eritors Jason Martin, broadcasting live

2267

2268
01:54:18,240 --> 01:54:22,400

2269
01:54:22,439 --> 01:54:26,080
Speaker 2: Actually begins before the NFL season begins. Let's make some

2270
01:54:26,120 --> 01:54:30,600
Speaker 2: Super Bowl picks. That's next. Fox Sports Radio, Welcome back everybody.

2271
01:54:30,640 --> 01:54:35,000
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, Ertorris Jason Martin broadcasting live from theti

2272
01:54:35,080 --> 01:54:39,400
Speaker 2: iraq dot com studios. We have one segment left before

2273
01:54:39,480 --> 01:54:43,960
Speaker 2: Chrisplank takes over for us. Chris Plank, of course, filling

2274
01:54:44,000 --> 01:54:47,440
Speaker 2: in for Bernie Fraddo of The Bernie Frado Show. Plank,

2275
01:54:48,120 --> 01:54:50,520
Speaker 2: I said it a minute ago, is as knowledgeable as

2276
01:54:50,680 --> 01:54:53,800
Speaker 2: anyone about the sport of college football as I know,

2277
01:54:54,640 --> 01:54:59,040
Speaker 2: and I cannot wait to hear what Plank has to say.

2278
01:54:59,520 --> 01:55:00,720
Speaker 3: J Martin, let's wrap.

2279
01:55:01,040 --> 01:55:04,120
Speaker 2: I do want to make our Super Bowl picks and predictions,

2280
01:55:04,160 --> 01:55:09,760
Speaker 2: but very quickly before we do, we have one very

2281
01:55:09,800 --> 01:55:14,560
Speaker 2: important college football game tomorrow. Yeah, we mentioned it a

2282
01:55:14,640 --> 01:55:19,520
Speaker 2: minute ago, but those Sunday night, Labor Day weekend games

2283
01:55:19,720 --> 01:55:23,120
Speaker 2: always seem to deliver for whatever reason, and we got

2284
01:55:23,160 --> 01:55:25,720
Speaker 2: a top twenty five matchup in Vegas. I actually thought

2285
01:55:25,760 --> 01:55:28,200
Speaker 2: about trying to drive out for this one, but unfortunately

2286
01:55:28,600 --> 01:55:32,800
Speaker 2: tickets are expensive, media passes weren't available whatever, So I'll

2287
01:55:32,840 --> 01:55:36,000
Speaker 2: be watching on the couch like everybody else but LSU

2288
01:55:36,120 --> 01:55:39,360
Speaker 2: USC Sunday night in Las Vegas.

2289
01:55:39,600 --> 01:55:41,000
Speaker 3: Do you have a thought do you have a lien

2290
01:55:41,120 --> 01:55:41,800
Speaker 3: on this game?

2291
01:55:42,960 --> 01:55:44,960
Speaker 1: I don't have a good feel on it. I really

2292
01:55:44,960 --> 01:55:47,560
Speaker 1: want to watch both teams. I think I'll take LSU.

2293
01:55:47,640 --> 01:55:49,560
Speaker 1: I think they're about a four point favorite right now.

2294
01:55:49,600 --> 01:55:53,280
Speaker 1: But I just I don't know what to make of

2295
01:55:53,400 --> 01:55:56,640
Speaker 1: LSU or a part of me of USC post Kleb Williams.

2296
01:55:56,720 --> 01:55:58,200
Speaker 1: I think, I guess the same thing could be true

2297
01:55:58,200 --> 01:56:02,160
Speaker 1: of LSU post Jaydon Dane. But I think there are

2298
01:56:02,960 --> 01:56:06,040
Speaker 1: there are more functional questions about USC to me than

2299
01:56:06,160 --> 01:56:07,960
Speaker 1: LSU right now. Just when it comes to all right,

2300
01:56:07,960 --> 01:56:10,320
Speaker 1: you've got a new defensive coordinator, now what You've had

2301
01:56:10,400 --> 01:56:13,240
Speaker 1: multiple defensive coordinators Lincoln, but none of them have ever

2302
01:56:13,280 --> 01:56:16,879
Speaker 1: done a particularly good job at keeping teams from scoring.

2303
01:56:17,480 --> 01:56:20,520
Speaker 1: Is that going to change? I don't. I don't have

2304
01:56:20,600 --> 01:56:24,040
Speaker 1: a good sense of these two teams yet. That's one

2305
01:56:24,080 --> 01:56:26,160
Speaker 1: of the reasons I'm so fascinated to watch it, because

2306
01:56:26,200 --> 01:56:30,600
Speaker 1: I know the expectations for both are relatively high, and

2307
01:56:31,000 --> 01:56:36,040
Speaker 1: certainly those fan bases expect greatness. I just I just

2308
01:56:36,080 --> 01:56:38,680
Speaker 1: don't know. So I'll take LSU because I think they're

2309
01:56:38,760 --> 01:56:41,040
Speaker 1: a little more season a little more ready right now,

2310
01:56:41,040 --> 01:56:43,000
Speaker 1: and maybe have a few less question marks.

2311
01:56:43,360 --> 01:56:46,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll take USC to keep it close, only because

2312
01:56:46,840 --> 01:56:50,800
Speaker 2: you know, as as great as Caleb Williams was, Lincoln

2313
01:56:50,840 --> 01:56:53,400
Speaker 2: Riley is kind of a quarterback whisper, and in that

2314
01:56:53,440 --> 01:56:57,080
Speaker 2: Bowl game last year, Miller Moss through for six touchdowns,

2315
01:56:57,120 --> 01:56:59,320
Speaker 2: and so I don't think the drop off is going

2316
01:56:59,400 --> 01:57:02,760
Speaker 2: to be as big as people think. Defense can't really

2317
01:57:02,800 --> 01:57:07,280
Speaker 2: be worse LSU. You know, I have no track record

2318
01:57:07,360 --> 01:57:11,160
Speaker 2: that they can maintain that offensive production without Jayden Daniels. Now,

2319
01:57:11,280 --> 01:57:13,240
Speaker 2: I think it's basically impossible for them too, because I

2320
01:57:13,240 --> 01:57:15,160
Speaker 2: think they have the number one offensive college football. But

2321
01:57:15,880 --> 01:57:18,760
Speaker 2: I just I don't know what to expect from LSU.

2322
01:57:18,920 --> 01:57:21,960
Speaker 2: I'll take maybe LSU to win, USC to cover, but

2323
01:57:22,320 --> 01:57:24,600
Speaker 2: I think USC at least keeps it close, and I

2324
01:57:24,640 --> 01:57:28,040
Speaker 2: think USC just continues to put pressure on LSU, and

2325
01:57:28,040 --> 01:57:30,400
Speaker 2: I'm curious to see if they can keep the scoring up.

2326
01:57:31,000 --> 01:57:33,280
Speaker 3: Cannot wait to watch that game. J Mart.

2327
01:57:33,400 --> 01:57:35,400
Speaker 2: You know this is the last show that you and

2328
01:57:35,400 --> 01:57:37,760
Speaker 2: I will be doing before the football The NFL season

2329
01:57:37,840 --> 01:57:39,760
Speaker 2: kicks off Thursday night.

2330
01:57:39,920 --> 01:57:43,240
Speaker 3: Ravens Chiefs. Do you want to give a Super Bowl

2331
01:57:43,240 --> 01:57:43,760
Speaker 3: pick right now?

2332
01:57:43,840 --> 01:57:46,280
Speaker 1: Jma? Why not? Let's do it? Why not there's no

2333
01:57:46,360 --> 01:57:52,919
Speaker 1: reason not to. I'm I think you were just insane

2334
01:57:52,960 --> 01:57:57,440
Speaker 1: to go against Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid. And you know,

2335
01:57:57,520 --> 01:58:00,680
Speaker 1: you can make the arguments for maybe since he comes

2336
01:58:00,720 --> 01:58:03,600
Speaker 1: back really strong this year, maybe Buffalo is maybe Allen

2337
01:58:03,680 --> 01:58:06,360
Speaker 1: really is gonna elevate it to another level this year.

2338
01:58:06,400 --> 01:58:11,240
Speaker 1: Maybe the Jets are gonna be more than just paper champions.

2339
01:58:11,840 --> 01:58:14,320
Speaker 1: Maybe Miami's gonna win some big time games. Maybe it

2340
01:58:14,400 --> 01:58:17,200
Speaker 1: is gonna be Lamar's time. Maybe Justin Herbert and Harbaugh

2341
01:58:17,240 --> 01:58:20,600
Speaker 1: are gonna break out out of nowhere. Maybe my Broncos

2342
01:58:20,600 --> 01:58:23,480
Speaker 1: are gonna go undefeated because we have bo Nix a quarterback.

2343
01:58:23,880 --> 01:58:26,640
Speaker 1: You know there's a and then i'd even mention Houston.

2344
01:58:26,720 --> 01:58:28,840
Speaker 1: I think Houston's definitely gonna be heard from a lot

2345
01:58:28,880 --> 01:58:32,400
Speaker 1: this year too. But I can't go away from Patrick

2346
01:58:32,480 --> 01:58:36,760
Speaker 1: Mahomes and the Chiefs representing the AFC. Even if I'm wrong,

2347
01:58:37,120 --> 01:58:40,000
Speaker 1: no one's gonna fault me for making the choice. I

2348
01:58:40,080 --> 01:58:42,760
Speaker 1: just think going against that guy is crazy. I did

2349
01:58:42,760 --> 01:58:45,120
Speaker 1: it way too often with Brady. I learned my lesson.

2350
01:58:45,160 --> 01:58:47,440
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do it again until somebody proves that

2351
01:58:47,480 --> 01:58:49,480
Speaker 1: they can beat that guy in the playoffs. When it

2352
01:58:49,520 --> 01:58:52,760
Speaker 1: matters most. I'm gonna take him every time. And then

2353
01:58:52,800 --> 01:58:56,560
Speaker 1: in the NFC we talked about the Niners and their schedule.

2354
01:58:56,880 --> 01:58:59,560
Speaker 1: I think their schedule and just I think they're gonna

2355
01:58:59,560 --> 01:59:01,960
Speaker 1: have a roughie, not in terms of being a complete

2356
01:59:02,000 --> 01:59:03,840
Speaker 1: failure of a year, but I think they may take

2357
01:59:04,040 --> 01:59:06,120
Speaker 1: a half step back this year. I think the Rams

2358
01:59:06,120 --> 01:59:09,280
Speaker 1: may end up winning that division. But I'm going to

2359
01:59:09,280 --> 01:59:12,800
Speaker 1: the NFC North, and I think the Green Bay Packers

2360
01:59:12,840 --> 01:59:16,840
Speaker 1: will represent the NFC in the Championship in the Championship

2361
01:59:16,840 --> 01:59:19,480
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. I can't quite

2362
01:59:19,480 --> 01:59:22,440
Speaker 1: get there with the Lions just yet. I just there's

2363
01:59:22,480 --> 01:59:27,960
Speaker 1: something a little more primetime ready when it comes to

2364
01:59:28,160 --> 01:59:31,640
Speaker 1: a super Bowl level team in Green Bay. To me,

2365
01:59:31,800 --> 01:59:34,160
Speaker 1: I think they have had some addition by subtraction in

2366
01:59:34,200 --> 01:59:37,200
Speaker 1: a couple of places. I think they've gotten better toward

2367
01:59:37,320 --> 01:59:40,320
Speaker 1: Love's got his money, and assuming he is ready to

2368
01:59:40,400 --> 01:59:42,800
Speaker 1: step up into that role, I like it. So I'm

2369
01:59:42,800 --> 01:59:45,320
Speaker 1: gonna take the Chiefs and the Packers in the Super Bowl,

2370
01:59:45,360 --> 01:59:48,040
Speaker 1: with Mahomes and the Chiefs winning their third in a row.

2371
01:59:48,480 --> 01:59:53,440
Speaker 2: Wow, Okay, well you just mentioned my two super Bowl choices.

2372
01:59:54,680 --> 01:59:58,320
Speaker 2: In the AFC, I was gonna go with Cincinnati, but

2373
01:59:58,680 --> 02:00:01,400
Speaker 2: too much noise would Chase. Who knows what's gonna happen there.

2374
02:00:01,440 --> 02:00:03,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take Kansas City. I'm gonna take a shocker

2375
02:00:04,000 --> 02:00:06,480
Speaker 2: j mart I'm gonna take Detroit to be in the

2376
02:00:06,520 --> 02:00:09,200
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, and I'm gonna take Detroit to win it,

2377
02:00:09,400 --> 02:00:12,120
Speaker 2: just to be a little different. Listen, Casey is the

2378
02:00:12,160 --> 02:00:15,280
Speaker 2: overwhelming favorite, but Dan Campbell they were on the doorstep

2379
02:00:15,360 --> 02:00:17,680
Speaker 2: last year. This is kind of the last year before

2380
02:00:17,720 --> 02:00:19,960
Speaker 2: all the contracts start to come up. They have to

2381
02:00:20,280 --> 02:00:23,480
Speaker 2: start paying people next year. So I got Detroit over Casey.

2382
02:00:23,520 --> 02:00:24,840
Speaker 2: We gotta get out of here. I thank the crew,
