1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Week two in the PAC twelve is here, and conference

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: play it's starting. We are so excited now. This is

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,800
Speaker 1: where the rubber meets to roll for most teams in

4
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 1: the PAC twelve and we separate the contenders from the

5
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: pretenders and the potential national champions. I'm George Riser with

6
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 1: Ralph Ampston and this is the Pack twelve apossibles Ralph.

7
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: Week two in the PAC twelve, we got conference games

8
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: coming up, Like, are you excited about this week? Yeah?

9
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: I am. I mean conference games this early. Who else

10
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: does that? I know there's a couple out there, but

11
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: I mean not just conference games this early, but really

12
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 1: really important ones. So it's it's kind of hard to

13
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: to you know, like a couple of other conferences out

14
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: there take take this week off at at the same

15
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: time we do. We do have some cupcake games and hopefully,

16
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: uh these teams can feast on those cupcakes and we

17
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about the storylines of you know,

18
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: PAC twelve losing the teams that that they shouldn't a

19
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: couple of weeks in a row. I'm excited about what

20
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: can potentially happen with the PAC twelve schedules, being that

21
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: conference games are now allowed to be played earlier, and

22
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: you can also play non conference games later in the

23
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: year all the way into November now, So that's gonna

24
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: give the conference way more flexibility going in the future,

25
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: because I always talk about how the SEC crafts their schedules,

26
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: and the Pact twelve just sets their schedules. Then the

27
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: SEC make sure that their marquee matchups have a bye

28
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: weekend between, they have an easy game in November, and

29
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: now the PAC twelve can start to put some of

30
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: those conference getting those non conference games later in the

31
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: year kind of in between to break up some of

32
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: the schedules. That way, if you are Stanford and you

33
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: have a guy like Walker little injured, you give them

34
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: an extra week and you don't have to risk losing

35
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: to a bad team. You now give yourself a better

36
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: opportunity to run the table and run the gauntlet and

37
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: always put your best foot forward. So are you in

38
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: favor of the stuff that Alabama does like playing Tea

39
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: and Crump at State in November and stuff like that? No, no, no, dude.

40
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: I made a video it's on my Twitter now on

41
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: the YouTube page on Unafraid show dot com about how

42
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: I feel bad for SEC fans and Alabama fans in particular.

43
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, you have one of the best college football

44
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: teams of all time, and of the last fifteen years

45
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: you are the bell Cow, the premier program in college football.

46
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: Yet over the last two seasons, eight of your twenty

47
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: four cops of not sorry, eight of the twenty four

48
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: games on your regular season schedule have been uncompetitive, non competitive,

49
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: like the teams have zero chance. They aren't Power five

50
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: schools except for one, and you just in there just

51
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: like thirty three percent of your schedule. That's how much

52
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: money are these fans wasting like that, they are wasting

53
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: to a tag attack of the lowest talent. They are

54
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: wasting Quinn Williams, who's now in the NFL. You have

55
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: all these guys, but and you give lip service saying

56
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: I want to play twelve games. Everybody should play twelve games.

57
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: You won't even play ten. And you are Nick Saban,

58
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: You are in control of this schedule. It's set so

59
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: far out, but you've been at Alabama over a decade,

60
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: so you've had time to fix it. And if you

61
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: look at Alabama's future schedules, nothing about it says that

62
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: ten Power five games are coming, and it damn sure

63
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: doesn't say that twelve Power Five games are coming. So

64
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: guess what stopped giving a slip service and actually play somebody,

65
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: because if I were an Alabama fan, I'd be piste off.

66
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: So since you're already upset, let's get into our casting

67
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: stone segment this week, because I don't know if you

68
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: knew this. And happy anniversary by the way, but it

69
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: is ten years to the day since Lea Garrett Blunt

70
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: knocked out Byron out on the field after Oregon Boise

71
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: State back in two thousand nine. What do you remember

72
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: from that day? I remember that was Chip Kelly's first

73
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: game at Oregon as head coach and they lost to

74
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: Boise State. I think eight to nineteen. I didn't even

75
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: look or eight to seventeen. I didn't even look this up.

76
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: I just distinctly remember this game because every everybody was there.

77
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,559
Speaker 1: Oh they lost to Boise State. Yeah, but it turns

78
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: out the Boise State is something special. Boise State went

79
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: down to Tallahassee this week. They've had Chris Peterson has

80
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: been the head coach, got a new head coach now,

81
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: I mean, and they're still rolling. They lost their defensive coordinator.

82
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: They were supposed to play Florida State in Jacksonville, game

83
00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:01,239
Speaker 1: got moved to Tallahassee. They lost a practice this day

84
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: because of the hurricane. And then they played Florida State

85
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: in dope Walkers in dope Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee and

86
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: beat on Florida State like that, two boys the state

87
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,679
Speaker 1: is so that loss is not quite as much shame now,

88
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: but it felt shameful then. But Byron how taught everybody,

89
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: I think, a very valuable lesson. Who saw that, and

90
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: there are some people who were horrified at it, but

91
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: I didn't really. I didn't really fault La Garrett Blunt

92
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: that much. I was like, dude, you run up with

93
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: your mouth running like you can't come after a heated game,

94
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: pointing in somebody's face, laughing, talking trash. You run up,

95
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 1: you better have your helmet on because you you run

96
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: your mouth, you get knocked out. And my dad told

97
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: me a very valuable lesson that I think that everybody

98
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 1: should know. Everybody should know rule number one in life,

99
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: don't let your mouth right checks that you asked cash.

100
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: And that's what Byron Howe did. He wrote a check

101
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: with his mouth was asking in cash, and he got ko, Buddy,

102
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 1: I I like that you brought up the helmet thing

103
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: because I mean, I'm a firm believer in that right.

104
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: Like talk shit, get hit, So like keep to yourself

105
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: if if you don't, if you don't want to be

106
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: in a confrontation, don't be confrontational. Um, that's why I

107
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: drive around in Arizona. If I wake up in a

108
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: foul mood, I put on open toad shoes if I'm

109
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: gonna drive anywhere, because I know I'm not. I'm not

110
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: trying to get in the road rage incidents with my

111
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: like little piggy showing because I know it won't wan't

112
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: end well for me. So like that he had that

113
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: helmet bravery on with with no helmet on. And the

114
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: thing is Byron Howe already like they already won that argument,

115
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: Like they the fact that that game is remembered for

116
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: Byron Howe getting knocked out in front of Chris Peterson

117
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: by the way, like he fell into Chris Peterson's arm.

118
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: He was like he was like like he was like

119
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: Romeo or Juliet after drinking poison, just sort of like collapse.

120
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: He just fell into his He and so and so

121
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: that this gives me another question though, um and and

122
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: first of all, Lagarrett Blunt had negative rushing yardage in

123
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: that game. Oregon got wrecked by Boise State, Like it

124
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: should have been remembered that that was the knockout punch

125
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: that was delivered. But I have this question for you.

126
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: If Byron Hout doesn't go down on that punch, is

127
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: this something that we even remember or talk about. Is

128
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: it that he got knocked out? Yes, yes, that's the

129
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: fact that that was the part about it. Lagart Blunt

130
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: ended up missing what the next I don't think he

131
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: played again to Oregon State. So he missed the next

132
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: ten games, partially because Chip made him do some things

133
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: to get reinstated, and he took a little longer to

134
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: do some of those sittings. But oh, we're all. You know,

135
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: he missed significant time. But if Byron Hout didn't get

136
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: knocked out, then no, no, absolutely not. He probably misses

137
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: two games at the most. And this is kind of

138
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: a non story in history, but this like it's one

139
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: of those times where you look at la Garrett Blunt

140
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: and you're saying, all right, this may have been a

141
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: game changing moment for him in life. Because had he

142
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 1: not done this, something else may have come up at

143
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: a different time. And Lagarret Blunt has gone on to

144
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: have a fabulous NFL career, multiple time Super Bowl champion,

145
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: Like he hasn't really been in trouble besides the smoking

146
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: weed thing, and aside from that, like this could have

147
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: been a career defining moment where he was like, you know,

148
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: not gonna do anything like this again. Not going to

149
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 1: risk my livelihood, not gonna risk my future, not gonna

150
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: put anything in Jeff, I am just going to, you know,

151
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: play straight up and do the right And I mean,

152
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 1: Byron how it went fifty and three at boys the state,

153
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: two years starter, second team on Mountain West. No, he didn't,

154
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: he only went And what is it? What is it

155
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: about us in our culture that like when somebody takes

156
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: a punch we were like, oh, I wonder what they

157
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: did or said, Like because I remember Tevin Hood at

158
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 1: University of Arizona punching a teammate in the face on

159
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: the sideline. I think the dude's name was Cody and

160
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: Polito who I think I went on to grad transfer

161
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: to Utah eventually, um, and I remember like the immediate

162
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: thought and The immediate narrative down here in Arizona was like, man,

163
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: what do what? Cody said like like, yeah, well, people

164
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 1: get People don't realize that there are a lot more

165
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: fights that go on amongst teams than people realize. Every

166
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: year on every team there's at least one or two

167
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: fights at least because there's so much test starts are

168
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: on going on, and men have a tendency to fight

169
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: about three or four things. Number one on the list

170
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 1: is always Number one is always a woman. A woman

171
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: will get him a man, not her fault, but surrounding

172
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: the actions and relationships and things to other people do

173
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: and she did, and all of that stuff that causes

174
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: more fights between men than anything else. Second thing is money,

175
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: owing somebody money, not paying somebody money, cheating somebody out

176
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: of money. That will get people in fights in college

177
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: because somebody not paying for the uber, somebody not paying

178
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: for somebody cheating in a dice game, a card game,

179
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: something like that. And then the third thing is not

180
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: just about the money, but about cheating. If you're a

181
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: person who has felt like that you cheated, and even

182
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: a game a monopoly, we'll get it, get we'll get

183
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: people in a fight. I almost got in a fight

184
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: with a teammate over college over the e a game

185
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: over college. Dude. We got an argument because we were

186
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: talking trash and it just got heated. That's the other thing.

187
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: And the last thing is food. You mess with somebody's food,

188
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: you will get in a fight. You bad things can happen.

189
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: Almost got to fight with my best friend to this

190
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: day when we were roommates in college, Sammy Parker over

191
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: toaster strewd over toaster strudal. Ralph, this is the most

192
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: outrageous story. So look, um, we were living in the

193
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: same apartment and we would have some frozen burritos in

194
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: the freezer and we had toasta strudal. I didn't love

195
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: toasta strudal, but Sammy loved toucha toasta strewdal, So we

196
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: would always have it. And what he would do is

197
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: I would always come downstairs and he would be in

198
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: the kitchen making food, and all the burritos or all

199
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: the total shrewder would be sitting out like the whole

200
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: entire package of twity or however many it is, and

201
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 1: I just say, Sammy, look, brother, can you please just

202
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 1: take out what you're going to use that way? Stuff

203
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: is not throwing all the way out and then refreezing,

204
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 1: throwing out refreezing because then it gets ice in it

205
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 1: and it kind of messes up the taste and stuff

206
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: and go bad. And he was like, no, no, I

207
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: don't know how many I'm gonna want, so, you know, so,

208
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: and I want them to throw out that way they

209
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: then cook more evenly. I'm like, Sammy, come on, man,

210
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: please like then and one these are two look, these

211
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: are two really good points. I don't know who's sad.

212
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 1: And I'm like, Sammy, please, dude. And one day he

213
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,719
Speaker 1: did it again and I just was like, listen, this

214
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: is too disrespectful. You are just disrespecting me as a man.

215
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 1: So I went off and we ended up wrestling and

216
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: almost coming to blows up about toaster strudal and frozen burritos.

217
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: So that's how these things happen. But thank god it

218
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: didn't because you know, Samy's a grudge holder, so we

219
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: might not be for us to his day. Well, I mean,

220
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: i've down here covering Arizona State. There's all that stuff

221
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 1: that you can't report, and I mean there's stories of

222
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: of a fight between a linebacker and alignment on an

223
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 1: elevator imagine not being able to get off the elevator

224
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: while two guys going at it like right there with you,

225
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: with you inside, or you know, we we had one

226
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: one player down here switched from offense to defense, and

227
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: I think the whole reason he did it was so

228
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: that he could hit an offensive player that he didn't

229
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: like playing alongside. They ended up in a big fist fight,

230
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: and they were two, I mean two players that went

231
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: on to be you know, uh, to to have a

232
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: cup of coffee in the NFL. And so you know,

233
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: it's it seems it seems inevitable. But I mean when

234
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: it happens on camera like that, I mean Byron how

235
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: it's gone on. He's he's like in his seventh year

236
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: of being an assistant coach. I think he's the d

237
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: line coach in Montana State. But for some reason, every

238
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: time I hear that dude's name, I just see him

239
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: sort of crumple into the ground in front of Chris Peterson.

240
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 1: See what that's a See that's one of those moments

241
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: in life. I'm telling you, no matter how good of

242
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: a coach he gets, he can never be fully respected.

243
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: It And I know it's sad, and it's bad. However,

244
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: him getting knocked out is going to be a prohibitor

245
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: from him getting some big time jobs. I'm telling you

246
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: because people still have that image in their mind and

247
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, the players gonna respect him, or if

248
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: they get mad, or they're gonna jump bad with him.

249
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: Like like what you're gonna do, coach, I'll knock you out,

250
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: to knock you out like Debo knock you out. You know. So,

251
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: I mean real talk, if you were so, if Byron

252
00:14:55,200 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: Hout was your defensive line coach, or Randall McDaniel was

253
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: your or Helot Nada was your Oh was your defensive

254
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: line coach, which one would you be less likely to try?

255
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, yeah, I'm I don't know. I mean

256
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: I'm in a situation where, like I think that you know,

257
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: sometimes people learn those lessons and you see people get

258
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: knocked out in the UFC, they fight another fifteen years

259
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: or whatever. They just learned how to grapple or something.

260
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: So I'm me personally, I'm not messing. I got my

261
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: open toed shoes on in every situation. Okay, one last

262
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: story before we get into everything. So there was a

263
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: dude who I played with at Oregon and my dream

264
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: telling this story from a place of growth as a

265
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: thirty eight year old man. And when you look back

266
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: at some of the things that you did when you

267
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: are said when you were twenty years old, you're like, wow,

268
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: I was an asshole. Like that wasn't cool at all.

269
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: So there's this kid that came in a year after me,

270
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: and his name was or two years after. His name

271
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: was Willie Walden. He was from like the Seattle area.

272
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: He was a big like six eight to like to eighty,

273
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: like he was a big dude. Like he was a big,

274
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: big dude, but he was kind of soft body, not kind.

275
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: He was a soft body when he came in, so

276
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: like you couldn't see any of his muscles. He was

277
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: just a big you know. He was just a big dude.

278
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: But he wasn't muscular, so all the tight ends and

279
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: he wasn't on the on the field, his stance were

280
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: super small. He wasn't strong all that stuff. So he

281
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: had a reputation around the team. So they would either

282
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: call him big soft Serve or big Charman. And this

283
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: was his time the whole time there. He ended up

284
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: transferring out to Montana and he pulled aid fast forward

285
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: a bunch of years. Um, I'm in the in the league.

286
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 1: Towards the end of my career, I started dating this

287
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: lady and turns out her best friend in the whole

288
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: world is Willie Walden. And I didn't even put the

289
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: connection together for a while, and it turns out and

290
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 1: I told her. I was like, oh my god, Willie

291
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,240

Speaker 1: know Willie. I was like, okay, slow it down. Willie

295
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 1: hates me. I was like, Willie hates me because and

296
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: she was like why And I told her. She was like,

297
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: oh my god, you were so mean. And turns out

298
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: and she I was like, what the heck is Willie

299
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: up to? Now? Willie Walden had got himself in amazing

300
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: shape and was a UFC fighter, like a real life

301
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: in the the Gone fight, Like you can pull him

302
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: up now, knocking a couple of people out, and I

303
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: was just like, yeah, see, um see. Might actually talked

304
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: to Willie and be like, Willie, look, you're welcome. I

305
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: apologize to you. Need to say you're welcome. Way he's

306
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: a UFC fighter without you guys roasting him constantly. Exactly exactly.

307
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: But but at the same time, I just wanted him

308
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: to know, you know, like that was a long time ago,

309
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,959
Speaker 1: and I know that that's not my place to. You know,

310
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: everybody always wants to go back about their own stuff

311
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: and say, you know what, I'm I'm kind of over this.

312
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 1: You should be too. And so I was like, just

313
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: just so you know when we do interact, because we

314
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: have a friend in comment that that I don't I

315
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 1: don't want to smoke. We are grown ups now. That

316
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,479
Speaker 1: that was kind of what I was trying to get at,

317
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,239
Speaker 1: and what we never ran across each other again. But

318
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: he still does hate me though, So we can get

319
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: into the game action. Now. Week two is kind of

320
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,959
Speaker 1: a lot like Week one. You know, you have a

321
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: couple intriguing matchups, you have a couple of conference matchups,

322
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: and you know, and some games that in fact twelve

323
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: teams lose. It's gonna be ugly. And we will start

324
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: with the game. I know you're super excited about Ralph

325
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: because it's played on a Friday night, a week day,

326
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: a week day, so not only do you have to

327
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: watch a game on a weekday. You have to watch

328
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: a game that doesn't even have a line on a weekday.

329
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: Arizona State is playing Sacramento State. And I cannot, for

330
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: any reason figure out why this game is played on

331
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: a Friday. It is not on ESPN, it is on

332
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: Pact twelve network. Ralph, what do you have about what

333
00:19:55,640 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: redeeming value do you have of this game? I don't Oh,

334
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, because it's it takes the kids again,

335
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 1: takes the kids outside of the routine that they should

336
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: be in, making them play on a on a Friday.

337
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: I'm never a fan of that. UM. It's uh, it's

338
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 1: against a team that's had their first game again, an

339
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: ai A team, So it's not like it's not like

340
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 1: Sacramento State's going to be properly prepared to jump into

341
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: the freezing cold water of being at sun Devil Stadium.

342
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: Freezing cold water, by the way, it's gonna be like

343
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 1: a hundred and eight degrees at kickoff of of playing

344
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: at Arizona State UM on a Friday night. And then

345
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: it puts Arizona State in the same situation that Sacramento

346
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: State was in, with Arizona State having to go to

347
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: Lansing next week. And so I don't know what good

348
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 1: this does for anybody other than it just basically being

349
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: a scrimmage. Allow you to run some of your plays.

350
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: But then do you want to be in a position

351
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: where you're putting stuff on film? Um, I don't see

352
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 1: a ton of upside. Hopefully everybody can just stay healthy,

353
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: they can get this game over with quick, and then

354
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 1: they can put out their thing where they bragged about playing.

355
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: You know, they put out a thing where they bragged

356
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: about playing twenty five freshman in the last game and said, like, see,

357
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: if you want to play early, this is where you've

358
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: got to come. But like, people forget the reason that

359
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: to play freshman is because thirty one scholarship players have

360
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: left since they hired HERM Edwards. And the logic of saying, oh,

361
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: you played freshman, that means if I'm a freshman, I'll

362
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: get to play. No, it doesn't. It means that that's

363
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: twenty five people ahead of you who all got playing time,

364
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: who are who are all going to be at the

365
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: university for at least the next three years. And so, um,

366
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: I don't know much about the way. It's cool that

367
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: they did what they did but the way that they're

368
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: promoting it, I don't know if it's going to have

369
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: the effect in recruiting what they wanted to have. It's

370
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: still not gonna have a good effect playing on a

371
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 1: Friday night, so the kids can't watch, or the kids

372
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 1: can't come and be on the sideline, because there's a

373
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 1: lot of real good, local, uncommitted kids, you know that

374
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: that that want to come and watch these games and

375
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: can't now um, and so I don't know. I just

376
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: there's not a whole lot about this game that I like,

377
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be able to watch until I get

378
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: back from covering two or three high school games. So

379
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: I'll I'll be turning this game on on the DVR

380
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: at one in the morning because I gotta, you know,

381
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: I gotta go out and see some of these prospects

382
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 1: and find out who's next Friday nights for high school

383
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: they're not for college football. I'm not going to this

384
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: game for sure. I mean, if Arizona State was playing

385
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 1: Arizona or Stanford or any other Pack twelve team, then

386
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 1: you would be in and maybe you can see some

387
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: sort of value of them playing, because then it would

388
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 1: be on ESPN or something right, But now you're just

389
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: sitting there like, okay, what what We're watching Sacramento State

390
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: and the stadium is going to be what half full?

391
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:45,719
Speaker 1: Because there because it's a Friday night and you know,

392
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 1: and this is a leave at halftime game. I see

393
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: why it says that tickets are as low as six bucks. Well,

394
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: I gotta, I gotta, I got a concustion for you, Georgia,

395
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: because there there was probably I was at the game

396
00:22:56,119 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: on Thursday against Kent State, maybe showed up, maybe my

397
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 1: guests would be under but with tickets sold, Arizona State

398
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 1: announces the attendance is forty seven. To me, attendance means

399
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: you attended, It doesn't mean tickets sold. How do you

400
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: feel about schools announcing like the amount of tickets sold

401
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: instead of the ones that got scanned, Because I think

402
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: that that's I think that's incredibly deceptive. You know, I

403
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 1: think that there should be two separate numbers because when

404
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: you it takes away your credibility when you announce forty

405
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: seven thousand tickets sold. When it kick off, all of

406
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: the videos of Arizona State running out onto the field

407
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: showed them running out to an empty field, like empty standing. Yeah,

408
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: it looks it looked like warm ups when they first

409
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 1: ran out. It is disingenuous. It is um. Those are

410
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: stats and numbers that they want to use for future

411
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 1: publications because people won't remember how the stadium really looked,

412
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: you know, like like the attendance numbers should be too

413
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: people who turned through the turn styles to come to

414
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: the game, because the reality is most of the people

415
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 1: who have tickets are coming. And when I was at

416
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 1: school and at Oregon, there aren't times where the stadium

417
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 1: is not full. So I can't even my brain does

418
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: not even comprehend because when when I was in school,

419
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: or when Oregon travels, or because the games I usually

420
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: go to are big games, so there aren't whether even

421
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 1: when Oregon is not playing, whether it's U C l A,

422
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: U S C, you know whoever U C l A

423
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: is playing at Oklahoma next week, I'll be at that game.

424
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: I'm just sitting there like, Okay, I don't really go

425
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: to too many games where the stadiums aren't like packed

426
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: or cracking or this is a big deal. So I'm

427
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: just sitting here like I don't even understand that. As

428
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: a player, I have no comprehension of the stadiums that

429
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: I played in not being full. I can't even imagine that.

430
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: It sounds like it sucks you're in there. You're in

431
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: there playing a game against the same amount of people

432
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: who would be there for the spring game or who

433
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: would be there for a glorified scrimmage. So that's terrible.

434
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: So if your Arizona State, the only thing you can

435
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: hope is that nobody gets hurt and that some kind

436
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: of way you get ready for Michigan State next week. Uh,

437
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 1: let's go on to Northern Illinois travels to Utah. Utah

438
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: is a twenty two and a half point favorite. This

439
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: is not quite as bad of a game to me

440
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: of a non conference game. To me, because this is

441
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: a MAC team, Northern Illinois has gone to bowl games.

442
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: Utah play b y U last week. I don't hate

443
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: it as much, even though you know like it's gonna

444
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: it should be a blowout because Northern Illinois played Illinois

445
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,400
Speaker 1: State last week and only won ten and they don't

446
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: have the same type of defense as Utah has. So

447
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: what are you looking for it? Well, I mean these

448
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: two teams played last year. Um they got They actually

449
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 1: scheduled this as a home at home, so uh and

450
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: if you remember this, why, I don't know. I mean,

451
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 1: the what I remember about this game last year is

452
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: that Utah had seven points going into the fourth quarter.

453
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: So for for them to be the level of favorite

454
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: that they are right now, I mean, this is one

455
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 1: of Zack Moss's worst games of the year. They couldn't

456
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: get anything going offensively. Um, And so you know this

457
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: is uh, this is maybe because they're at home. I

458
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: don't know how hostile of a place Northern Illinois is

459
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 1: um to go in and play, but I know that

460
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: they like to play run. They like to run the

461
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: ball and play some defense, and so I expect this

462
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: to kind of be a slow paced game. I don't

463
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 1: expect Utah to be in a situation like they were

464
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: last year where they needed to score ten points in

465
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter in order to win seventeen six um.

466
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: But I I definitely don't see this being, you know,

467
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: Utah growing leaps and bounds from last year to this

468
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: year where they go out and put up fifty or

469
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 1: something like that. I still think this will be kind

470
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: of a hard fought game, because I mean, Utah has

471
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: a tendency to turn everything into uh its version like

472
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: they should be able to go in and blow teams out,

473
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: but they want to turn things into that like cloud

474
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: of dust type stuff. What's that line from here Seeing

475
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: Blade where he says, you know, some m efforts are

476
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: always trying to ice skate uphill like you. I feel

477
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 1: like Utah always kind of makes things a little bit

478
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 1: harder than they need to be, just because the the

479
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 1: style they play will keep somebody else in the game.

480
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: Because if you put together a third team play drive

481
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 1: where you're running the ball three or four yards every

482
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,959
Speaker 1: single time, like you know Northern Illinois is, you're not

483
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: getting scored on in that in that time frame. And

484
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: so I think it'll be an obvious dominant win. But

485
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,959
Speaker 1: dominating for Oregon or for Utah could essentially be like

486
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: a fifteen sixteen point And that's the thing I don't

487
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 1: love about Utah, And that's the thing that scares me

488
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: about the potential to win the Pac twelve and their

489
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 1: potential to possibly where a couple of people have picked

490
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: them to go to the college football playoffs, I just

491
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: don't see it. They don't have enough offensive explosion. And

492
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 1: if you aren't a team that can put teams away,

493
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: if you can't put mediocre competition away or when a

494
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: team starts to make mistakes, if you can't pile it

495
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 1: on big, you are not a team that kids that

496
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: can win a conference or win a national championship. It's

497
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: just not possible. Like you have to have that sort

498
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: of explosive quality to be able to do that. And

499
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: and Utah has not displayed that at all. They are overcomers,

500
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: like they are habitual overcomers. They're that person in life

501
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: who always has something wrong going on, like who always

502
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: has to be you know, like the dog gues mom

503
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: is sick, kids not doing well, got fired from their job,

504
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: Like they're always having something that they have to overcome,

505
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: like they never have any good times. That's who Utah is.

506
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: They just cannot just go out and dominate. They have

507
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: a trouble bid out front. And and if I'm Utah

508
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: in this game, I want they're like, I don't see

509
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: them covering this twenty two point line. But if they

510
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:30,479
Speaker 1: do that, that's where I would be looking at this

511
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: game as a positive. Is if you talk and put

512
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: up forty five fifty points in this game, I'm looking

513
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: and saying, Okay, that's a good performance. And it would

514
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: be it would be good regardless, because I mean Northern Illinois.

515
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: Last year, they didn't just do this to Utah. They

516
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: beat b y U seven to six in a baseball

517
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: score like they took it to Florida State. They made

518
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: Florida State work. Florida State won that game thirty seven nineteen.

519
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: And then they have a bunch of It's like Herm

520
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: Edwards coaches this Northern Illinois team. There every single game.

521
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: They beat Central Michigan by eight, they beat Eastern Michigan

522
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: by three and overtime, they beat Ohio by three. They

523
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: beat Akron by ten, like every single game was close.

524
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: They lost to Miami of Ohio by six, and so

525
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: it's just the style that they play. If you're if

526
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna go out and be the one team in

527
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: the last couple of years to really lay out Northern Illinois,

528
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: then we can maybe start talking about the fact that

529
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: you're for real. Oh, that's a good point. Roh. That

530
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: is a really good point. Because team they are the

531
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: they are the mac version of Utah. Like there's no

532
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: just housing him, you know, They're they're like they are

533
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: just a gang fight, a street fight waiting to happen. Knockdown,

534
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: drag out fight. They are the boxer who with no

535
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: that doesn't have good head movement, that just gets in

536
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 1: there and brawls. They're not Floyd Mayweather, They're not Roy

537
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: Jones Jr. They are the dude who gets in there.

538
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: They are our truro Gotti. They just get in there

539
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: and mix it up and play rockham Stock and robots.

540
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: Whoever wins, whoever the toughest wins. And as you talk,

541
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: and they're they're not Byron, how are they gonna cover

542
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: the spread? No? No, I mean that would be a

543
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: huge surprise to me. That'd be the biggest surprise of

544
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: the weekend to me is if if Oregon. Keep saying

545
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: Oregon because I'm so excited to talk about but like,

546
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: it would be the biggest surprise of me, uh for

547
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: me to see you talk like win by four touchdowns?

548
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: All right? The another twelve thirty game, we got Nebraska

549
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: versus travels to Colorado. Last year Colorado snuck into Lincoln.

550
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: Gotta win. Adrian Martinez, the Nebraska quarterback, got hurt Nebraska's

551
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: favorite by three and a half points. And if I'm

552
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: in this game, unfortunately packed twelve Apostle fans. I have

553
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: to take Nebraska. I think that they are turning a

554
00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: corner and that that Scott Frost has this team headed

555
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: in the right direction. The only bad news is the

556
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: only bad news is the fact that last week Nebraska

557
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: played Southern Alabama, and Southern Alabama's played a bunch of

558
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: people close. But they were able in the third quarter

559
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: score a couple of touchdowns, and they were able to

560
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: keep the game in respectable fashion. Nebraska only one thirty

561
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: five twenty one, and they added a late touchdown. This

562
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: could be a high scoring game. This could be a

563
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: really high scoring game. I think it'll be fun. I'm

564
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: with you, um and that I think that I don't

565
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: think Nebraska's as good as some people do. Nebraska is

566
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: not back as some people like to say, but I

567
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: do think that they're trending upward. I love the over

568
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: of the I love taking the over on that. I

569
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: think this is a game that can end up being

570
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: thirty or something like that, or thirty five in favor

571
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: of uh in favor of Nebraska. I kind of look

572
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: at this like the Lahoma State Oregon State game. Even

573
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: if it looks like Colorado's in it, it's because they're

574
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: down two touchdowns and they score to get down one touchdown. Um,

575
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: they're just gonna have to prove that they can stop

576
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: somebody Nebraska likes to to. Uh. I mean, they are

577
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: multifaceted on offense, and I think that that's gonna be

578
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: a problem for for Colorado. Colorado is gonna be a

579
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: little bit more successful around one dimensional teams. Um. But

580
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: if Montes doesn't make any mistakes, like if if he

581
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: doesn't turn the ball over, then you have every reason

582
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: to believe that Colorado can compete to win this game.

583
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: But as it stands right now, I'm genuinely surprised that

584
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: that line is not a little bit higher on Nebraska

585
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: then maybe five and a half or six. And see

586
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: I was thinking that too, But the odds makers are

587
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: typically you know, they typically do a very good job,

588
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: but sometimes with these huge lines, like last week, Tennessee

589
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: was favored by twenty five points and they lost. They lost,

590
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: I mean, but those are a rendeous lost. I'm I'm

591
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: excited to see Laviska should not have a big game

592
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: because he's gonna need to have big game for Nebraska

593
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: to win. And Stephen Montez made no mistakes last week

594
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: and he's kind of known and regularly makes these bone

595
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 1: head plays. Sometimes you're like, really, did you just do that?

596
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: And hopefully he does not have any of those this week.

597
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: The next game up is a very intriguing game to

598
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: me because me and my family have season tickets to

599
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,800
Speaker 1: U c l A. And it's normally like my family

600
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 1: goes to about the games, but I attend you know

601
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 1: some of them when when possible, when him in town

602
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 1: all this, and there's a guy who played for the

603
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,439
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins who I know who played in San Diego State.

604
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: His name is JR. Tolliver, and I just saw him

605
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: and JR. All this was in the off season. He

606
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: was like, San Diego State's gonna beat U c l A.

607
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 1: They're gonna beat him, and we may lose our first

608
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 1: game the weeper State, but then we're gonna come back

609
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: and beat U c l A. And then I and

610
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 1: then looking at how U c l A performed, and well,

611
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: considering that San Diego State gave Stanford trouble last year

612
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: and then beat him the year before that, I think

613
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: U c l A just lost to Cincinnati two years

614
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: in a row. And I was sitting here like I

615
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 1: looked at the line, U c l A is favorite

616
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: by seven and a half. I don't know what the

617
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 1: math on this is, Ralph, I don't know what the

618
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: math is. Because San Diego State barely slipped by Weeper State.

619
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: I think so that maybe it, but I don't see it.

620
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: I do not see U c l A winning by

621
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: seven and a half points. They only beat we Were

622
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: State six to zero. So yeah, I just San Diego

623
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: State is having sort of a down year as far

624
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 1: as being dynamic on the offensive side of the ball.

625
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: Ryan ag Knew can make a big throw, but he's

626
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 1: not like a consistent quarterback who can move the ball

627
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 1: down the field. And what they want to do is

628
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,240
Speaker 1: they want to give the ball to Jawan Washington thirty times.

629
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 1: And they will give the ball to Jowan Washington thirty

630
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 1: times if you let them stick around in the game.

631
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: If you if I tell you this right now, if

632
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:06,839
Speaker 1: U c l A can even get a ten point

633
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 1: lead in this game and you put Ryan and New

634
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: in position half to throw on U c l A's defense,

635
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: it could get real ugly, real quick. But guess what.

636
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: U c l A hasn't shown the ability to do

637
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: anything either outside of one long you know, uh play

638
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 1: by Felton. Last we looked like a pretty uh stagnant

639
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: offense overall, And so they're gonna have to put in

640
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: a couple of surprise as a couple of new wrinkles,

641
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: something that maybe um San Diego State hasn't seen before.

642
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: But Rocky Long calls this defense, you're not gonna surprise.

643
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 1: He's been around forever. Like you said, he beat Standard,

644
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 1: They should have beat Stanford last year. Like that game

645
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,720
Speaker 1: got away from San Diego State in the fourth quarter,

646
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,240
Speaker 1: but they looked like the better team in the first half.

647
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: They beat Arizona State, I mean just flat out came

648
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 1: out and beat up on them. And so I mean,

649
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 1: you're not gonna surprise Rocky Long. This is an offensive

650
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,879
Speaker 1: mastermind versus a defense mastermind. But neither one of them

651
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 1: really has the tools to be exactly what they want

652
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 1: to be right now. And so I would say if

653
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: u c l A comes out and they can put

654
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 1: up and they can just score in the first quarter,

655
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 1: that would go a long way into making me think

656
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 1: they could win me. U c l A needs a

657
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: big game out of Dorian Thompson Robinson. He needs a

658
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: bounce back game eight for six hundred fifty six yards,

659
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:28,760
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, two picks, two ugly picks, and two ugly

660
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: fumbles untouched fumbles. He's only completely thirty percent of his

661
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: passes in the verse game. Um, if Joshua Kelly is

662
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: back at running back, I think that will help U c.

663
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 1: L A significantly because dimitrich Felton. He did a decent

664
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 1: job three attempts seventy one yards, but then he was

665
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: also their leading receiver to with two catches for ninety

666
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 1: one yard. And I just want to I want to

667
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: congratulate all the Kobe fans in l A who now

668
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: have somebody else who can go eight for How dare

669
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 1: how freaking dare you? It takes shots at the Black Mamba?

670
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: How dare you? I am I am that Kobe fan,

671
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,280
Speaker 1: just so you know, and I will I am willing

672
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: to blow up this entire episode of Back twelve apostles

673
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: just over a Kobe Uh, just over a Kobe dis

674
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: how dare you throw rocks at the throne? You know what?

675
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: Because you got us recording at five thirty in the morning,

676
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: you got these Pack twelve Kickoff Powers podcast recordings together.

677
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: I haven't had my coffee. I'm grouchy and for some reason,

678
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: I'm taking shots at Kobe Bryant five years after Hey, hey,

679
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: he's on his way to the Hall of Famer. People

680
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: are always trying to take shots at Kobe. I will

681
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: not stand for it. U c l A wins this

682
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: game actually, and and I am going because I am

683
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: going to double down on my U c l A prediction.

684
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: They will win this game, and they will cover and

685
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: they will shut your ass up route about them go

686
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 1: on one and eleven, just so you know, I mean

687
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 1: they'll they'll shut me up when they get a second win.

688
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:12,280
Speaker 1: That's year. So I'll still talk my stuff if they

689
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: if they beat San Diego State, but I mean that

690
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 1: will be the one win if they If they then

691
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: they'll come out and beat Oklahoma next week. I'm joking

692
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: that would that would be cute, honestly, Like that would

693
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 1: be the most fun thing to happen this whole year. Oh,

694
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: that would be the most chip Kelly thing ever. Uh

695
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 1: next game, another snooze fest. Oh and also, if you're

696
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: a Washington State fan and you listen to this podcast,

697
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: you listen to the Pack twelve Apostles, this is for you, buddy.

698
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: You guys are playing Northern Colorado. There's not even a

699
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 1: line on this game. Last week, you played in New

700
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 1: Mexico State, one of the worst teams in the FBS,

701
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,760
Speaker 1: And I'm sitting here and then people had Ralph Washington

702
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: State fans had the nerve to be mad at me

703
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: at where I had them placed in the Pac twelve

704
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 1: power recings for a week two had the nerve oh,

705
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: because I said I was unimpressed by their performance, and

706
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: they were like, oh, we had the most efficient offense

707
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:16,399
Speaker 1: in the country last and right now, Yeah, you played

708
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: in New Mexico State, You're in fifty eight to seven.

709
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: What do you want me to gain from that? You

710
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: played a team that everybody, everybody in the top fifty

711
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: would blow out, and you played with Anthony Gordon at quarterback,

712
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: who nobody has seen. He may be great, but we

713
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: don't know yet. But all these teams want credit for

714
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: playing a bunch of nobody's and now they're playing Northern

715
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 1: Colorado and want credit for that. I had when I

716
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 1: look at the schedule, it's at Unco U n c O.

717
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: I was like, I have to click on it to

718
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,959
Speaker 1: figure out who Unco. I mean, I'm not gonna hate

719
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: on Northern Colorado too much. You know that that you're

720
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: getting a little bit close to like the area where

721
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: I'm from. And but I I was very surprised to

722
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: find out that they a few years ago that they

723
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: were going to be playing D one football, that's for sure.

724
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: So I mean, you you go from you know, playing

725
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,240
Speaker 1: a team that has one Bowl win in the last

726
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: sixty years or whatever in New Mexico State to Northern Colorado.

727
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 1: I don't think this is gonna do much to make

728
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 1: them better as a team if they want to go

729
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:23,800
Speaker 1: out and just run their offense like it's a seven

730
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: on seven and everybody wants to be impressed by the numbers. Um,

731
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: you know, the winds that matter are the ones that

732
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 1: come in conference. The winds that matter are are you

733
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: ever going to get an Apple Cup? So did you

734
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: think this prepares you for Washington? If the answer is yes,

735
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 1: then go ahead and be satisfied. And if if no,

736
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,240
Speaker 1: you know you've got you gotta look at maybe scheduling

737
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,399
Speaker 1: some some tougher team so that you can get over

738
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: that hump. Um. You know, Mike Leach all, this doesn't

739
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: even prepared him for Houston. And let's talk about preparation.

740
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,439
Speaker 1: Let's talk about preparation, because do you know what Mike

741
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 1: Leach has time to do when they play teams like

742
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 1: Northern Colorado. He has time to spend all day long

743
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 1: on Twitter bashing Texas Tech for not paying him his

744
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,919
Speaker 1: salary in two thousand nine, which is what he did

745
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 1: this week. He spent all week so far tweeting about

746
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: ten years ago at Texas Tech. And then this dude

747
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: had the audacity to tweet like, hey, you know, focus

748
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: on the big things in your life. Obviously, obviously goad

749
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,800
Speaker 1: in Colorado is not a big thing in his life,

750
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 1: and so fans shouldn't expect us to respect the schedule

751
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 1: if Mike Leach has time to spend as much time

752
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: on Twitter as I do exactly agree with you. You know,

753
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 1: presidents and ball coaches only need to tweet so much.

754
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 1: And and how about is there any other coach in

755
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 1: the entire country that could get away with what Mike

756
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: Leach does? This week? He tweeted, he tweeted a picture

757
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,839
Speaker 1: of a trash and homeless tent filled California beach, and

758
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,280
Speaker 1: he's like, good thing, you guys banned plastic straws. Okay,

759
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 1: forty of the players war zero on Washington States roster

760
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: or from the state of California. They're not beating Long

761
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 1: Beach City Community College without those forty players. And he

762
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: is there any other coach in the country that could

763
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: make fun of the state where they get all their

764
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:17,359
Speaker 1: players from. Okay, okay, I will I will answer that

765
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 1: question with a question. Is there any other coach that

766
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: could be as talented and have the success that Mike

767
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: Leech has that can't get other big time jobs? Uh?

768
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: This is this is why? Well he was linked to

769
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:37,720
Speaker 1: he was linked to Tennessee, right, but I think yeah, LinkedIn, Yeah,

770
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: but LinkedIn it's his quirkiness if you call it, or

771
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 1: this type of stuff that prevents him from getting the Tennessee's,

772
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 1: the usc S, the you know, the other big name

773
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 1: jobs that he should be a prime candidate for. Yeah, yeah,

774
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: I mean he's weird for sure. He's he's probably the

775
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:56,280
Speaker 1: most famous person from my home state, him and Dick Cheney,

776
00:43:56,560 --> 00:44:00,040
Speaker 1: and they're both they're they're both characters. He's from. Do

777
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: you want me? I think you went to law school

778
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:04,280
Speaker 1: and then never used his law degree became a football

779
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 1: coach instead. And I've just always sort of watched him

780
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: with a little bit of curiosity, And I've never really

781
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 1: liked how the media is just in love with him

782
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: because he makes their jobs more interesting, Like I have

783
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,240
Speaker 1: one of my four kids, makes my day more interesting

784
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 1: every single day. But that doesn't mean the stuff he

785
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 1: does to make the day more interesting he's appropriate, or

786
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:29,319
Speaker 1: that he'll be successful later in life if I don't

787
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 1: put a stop to, you know, him deciding to like,

788
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 1: you know, lick the frost off the back of the

789
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: frozen food aisle window or something like that. Like, at

790
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: some point, you've got to stop doing what you're doing

791
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 1: so that you can be successful later on. And I

792
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 1: just I hate how journalists kind of always give him

793
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: a pass. And I know there's a huge caveat because

794
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 1: he got fired for something he didn't really even do

795
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,399
Speaker 1: out of Texas Tech, but I hate how they kind

796
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 1: of just give him a big pass because he's funny,

797
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 1: Like the pressure needs to be on him. He's super

798
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 1: high paid. He has not beat Washington yet like that,

799
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 1: why doesn't he get the same scrutiny that Jim Harbaugh

800
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 1: does at Michigan? For now, what are you talking about, dude,

801
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: It's Michigan. It's Michigan with Heisman trophies and national championships,

802
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 1: and Washington State, who, when Mike Leakes took the job,

803
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: was considered the worst job in all of college football

804
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,919
Speaker 1: in terms of the power of five schools, the worst job.

805
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:32,479
Speaker 1: And he's just done a reclamation project there, so he's

806
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 1: done a good job. Next game up twenty three and

807
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 1: a half point favorite Oregon Ducks, who are now ranked sixteen.

808
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 1: They only failed eleven spots in Nepole, which was a

809
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 1: big testament to the respect that they were able to

810
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 1: garner because in the loss to Auburn. Because ordinarily, when

811
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 1: Pack twelve teams lose whoever they lose to, especially if

812
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 1: they lose to the SEC or Big Ten, those teams

813
00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:00,439
Speaker 1: shoot up the rankings and the pactwell falls like a rock.

814
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 1: So how important is this for Oregon to redeem themselves

815
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 1: and cover this twenty three point line, which they will?

816
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:12,720
Speaker 1: You know, you think they'll cover, You think they'll cover? Okay, um,

817
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 1: if they cover, I would be very impressed. I mean,

818
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 1: because Nevada played a tough game. Nevada's coach by Jane Orvell,

819
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 1: who has a million years of experience as a as

820
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:26,399
Speaker 1: a wide receiver's coach. He had a pit stop at

821
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 1: at Arizona State before taking this job to be the

822
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: head coach in Nevada. They took a bunch of players

823
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 1: who were sort of Arizona State cast offs. Um, they

824
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,320
Speaker 1: got maliek Henry out there as I think a backup

825
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 1: quarterback or something, so that he's kind of trying to

826
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:44,280
Speaker 1: do the Lane Kiffin thing in Reno, like just bringing

827
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:46,840
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys who need a need a second chance,

828
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 1: or need a breath of fresh air. So like the talent,

829
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 1: there's some talent there. Um, you know this isn't this

830
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 1: There's definitely not Oregon level talent. Um. I think that

831
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 1: what you want to see is you want to see

832
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 1: Oregon have the fast start that they had like against Auburn,

833
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 1: but not let off the gas. Yeah, we need to

834
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 1: see that. That is crucial I think for Oregon. We

835
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: need to see them keep the pedal to the metal

836
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 1: and run people up, blow them out, and have that

837
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:23,240
Speaker 1: killer instinct because the team really hasn't had that killer

838
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 1: instinct since when they went to the National Championship when

839
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: they would just crush people. So that has to come back,

840
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 1: Like you have to be able to finish people like

841
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: we talked about what you talk and they just came.

842
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 1: I mean, they just beat Perdue, and Perdue is not

843
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 1: produce one of those teams that, uh it takes kind

844
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: of a while to get going. But then they'll challenge

845
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 1: some really really good teams this year. Um, and so

846
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 1: I think having that went over Perdue is gonna really

847
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:50,800
Speaker 1: jack this team up. If they can do something against Oregon,

848
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 1: then they're gonna be thinking, hey, if we run the

849
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: Mountain West, if we beat a Boise State team that

850
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 1: beat Florida State, if we beat a Wyoming team to

851
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 1: beat Missouri, maybe this is gonna be a super special season.

852
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 1: So you want to you want to snuff that candle

853
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 1: immediately of any hopes and dreams that they have to

854
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:08,760
Speaker 1: make this a special season. You want to put twenty

855
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 1: one up on the in the first quarter and then

856
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 1: just run your offense and and and and get this

857
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 1: week over with a grew with you and this needs

858
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 1: to be a bounce back game, a bounce back and

859
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 1: a statement game for the Oregon Ducks. Agree another game

860
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 1: on pack twell the network. So you know, so after

861
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 1: a nationally televised game last week, you'll only have you know,

862
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 1: five percent of the country that can turn around and

863
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 1: watch the Oregon Ducts who became fans of them. I

864
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 1: imagine if more people could see this game, you know,

865
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:45,280
Speaker 1: the same way that people can see Alabama play the Citadel.

866
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:48,240
Speaker 1: You can always find that game. You can always find

867
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt versus Texas. Nobody, you can always find that game.

868
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 1: So imagine if that game was just available, then people

869
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: can at least pass by it when they're flipping the

870
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:04,240
Speaker 1: chances where oh wow, they're Ellen, then oh good job exactly. Um,

871
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 1: the night Game got to the start of the night games.

872
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: Is the is the first Pack twelve matchup. And it's

873
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 1: interesting because last year Cow beat Washington and that was

874
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 1: a surprise upset. People were following out of their chairs, unbelievable,

875
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 1: and after Jacob Eason's last game, Washington's a fourteen point favorite. However,

876
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this game and I know how good

877
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: Cow's defense is, and I'm saying, and people were excited

878
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 1: about Jacob Easton. I said, if Jacob Easton can have

879
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 1: a good game against cows ridiculous defense, especially their secondary,

880
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 1: I will be a believer in Jacob Easton and start

881
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 1: to buy what you've been selling. Yeah, they just need

882
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 1: to be They just need to be surgical, Like Washington

883
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 1: needs to make sure that they minimize mistakes. They take

884
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 1: shots that they feel like they can get, come out

885
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 1: with scripted plays or whatever, see what works, and then

886
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 1: feel things out from there Like this is this is

887
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 1: gonna be a true test of just how good the

888
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:11,279
Speaker 1: Washington coaching staff is because they're gonna have all of

889
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 1: the advantages, right, They're gonna be um in Seattle. The

890
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 1: crowd's gonna be super live that you you've got the

891
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 1: better quarterback. Um, you you've you're coming off a week

892
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 1: where you performed a lot better against a team that

893
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:29,359
Speaker 1: is probably better than the team that that Cal did

894
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 1: not perform well against. So you've got sort of all

895
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:36,359
Speaker 1: the momentum in your you know, at your back. But

896
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,880
Speaker 1: why would you want to be complacent or right on

897
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 1: that in any way? If Cal gave Chris Brown the

898
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 1: ball thirty six times thirty eight times with two catches

899
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 1: last week, you know they're probably gonna try to muddy

900
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 1: this game up too, So you're just gonna have to

901
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:55,280
Speaker 1: be methodical. You want to see long drives from Washington

902
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 1: where there's a payoff at the end. If they got

903
00:50:57,520 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 1: to get field goals, they gotta get field goals. But

904
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 1: what you need is points. You don't want to get

905
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 1: into a situation like you like Cal was in last week,

906
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 1: where it's close and then all of a sudden Cal

907
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 1: figures it out at the end of the game and

908
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 1: starts finding ways to move the ball. Cow's got a

909
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 1: mobile quarterback, so I mean you can't. You won't be

910
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 1: able to get after him as well as as I think,

911
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:21,719
Speaker 1: So maybe drop a couple of extra into coverage and

912
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 1: see if you can make him uh, you know, try

913
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 1: to run the ball a little bit and punish him

914
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 1: a little bit and get him uncomfortable. Um, I don't know.

915
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:33,799
Speaker 1: I think that this is going to be something that

916
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 1: as long as Washington does everything they need to do

917
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: in their methodical about it, they can get out with

918
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 1: a good, clean win over Cow. They should be able to.

919
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 1: But after what happened last year, UM, you never know,

920
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 1: you just you just never know. You're not gonna You're

921
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:53,400
Speaker 1: they're not gonna go out and score fifty. So like this,

922
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:54,839
Speaker 1: this needs to be. This needs to be like an

923
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: NFC East NFL game of where you know it's seventeen,

924
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 1: but that's of points feels like a lot more because

925
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 1: you know you you were able to move the ball.

926
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 1: They weren't able to move the ball, So so will

927
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 1: will So you think will win this. I do think

928
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 1: that Washington. I don't think Washington has any reason not to.

929
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 1: It would be it would be a bigger upset for me.

930
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 1: They didn't have a reason not to last year. But

931
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 1: I think I think being at home, UM, I would

932
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 1: be more surprised if they lose this year than I

933
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:31,920
Speaker 1: was last year, because you see California coming, like, you

934
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 1: can't not be prepared for how good this defense is.

935
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:38,319
Speaker 1: And if you are, that's a ercent on you, Like

936
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 1: this can only go bad for Washington. All the expectations

937
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 1: are on their side to be the elite team in

938
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 1: the Pack twelve. They're the ones that didn't struggle to

939
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 1: handle their opponent UM in Week one, and they are

940
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 1: at home. This is huge And and if you're Jacob Eeson,

941
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:58,279
Speaker 1: like you're going to get the best secondary that you'll

942
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:01,319
Speaker 1: probably face this year, gonna get them right off the bat,

943
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:03,239
Speaker 1: like this is your chance to prove that you are

944
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:06,600
Speaker 1: who some people think you are. My prediction is Washington

945
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 1: wins this game on a late field goal. There's no

946
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 1: chance they covered. They're not gonna be Cal by four

947
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 1: team points unless Chase Garber's is a turnover machine, if

948
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 1: he doesn't turn the ball over, if he's not just

949
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 1: a a pinball machine squirting at or a vending machine

950
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:26,720
Speaker 1: just squirting out the football, just squirting out turnovers. Aside

951
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 1: from that, because Cal had a bunch of fumbles in

952
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:33,280
Speaker 1: Week one, I think they have four fumbles, but by

953
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 1: by four different people. So you're, well, one of them

954
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 1: was a team fumble, but you're just sitting there like, okay,

955
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 1: So if they don't do the right things, how on

956
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:47,759
Speaker 1: earth are they going to You know, if they don't

957
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 1: turn the ball over, then Cal can win. Cal can

958
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:53,040
Speaker 1: be in this football game. But they don't have the

959
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:56,400
Speaker 1: offensive firepower. And I don't know if they get up

960
00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 1: early because if Cal gets up, like, you know, off

961
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 1: a turn over, a fumble six or something, kick off return,

962
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:05,279
Speaker 1: if they get up like fourteen oh or ten oh,

963
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard on Washington. Here's my favorite thing

964
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:10,840
Speaker 1: about this game. U C l A and San Diego

965
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 1: State combined for twenty total points last week, and they're

966
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:17,399
Speaker 1: over under his forty five and a half, right, Cal

967
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 1: and Washington's is forty two and a half. Like people

968
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:25,360
Speaker 1: expect this game to just be yeah, exactly, and I

969
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 1: mean I like that over. I think I think they'll

970
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 1: cross that threshold. But just if you look at that,

971
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:38,359
Speaker 1: did you see Cal scores last year? They were they

972
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 1: were winning games twelve to ten. Yeah, I am not

973
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 1: putting this game. I would not take the over in

974
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:47,879
Speaker 1: this game because I don't know if Cal because if

975
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 1: the over hits, Washington wins by fourteen points. If the

976
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 1: under hit, if the under hits, no chance they win

977
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 1: by fourteen points. Next game up. I think the most

978
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 1: intriguing game of the again is USC and Stanford. Stanford

979
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:09,879
Speaker 1: travels down to the coliseum. USC is without J. T. Daniels. Uh,

980
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: they have slobists. I think starting at quarterback, Jack Sears

981
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:17,799
Speaker 1: is trying to weasel his way back in, UH, into

982
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:22,440
Speaker 1: the program and into the good graces and Stanford K. J.

983
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 1: Costello went out. We talked about it on the last podcast.

984
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 1: With the concussion, but reports that I have heard from

985
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 1: people who are very close to the Stanford program believe

986
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:37,960
Speaker 1: he'll be able to play this weekend, that he'll practice

987
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:41,960
Speaker 1: I think today a little bit, and barring any setbacks,

988
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 1: he should play. And with that, I don't see a

989
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:49,480
Speaker 1: way Stanford loses. I do not see a way Stanford

990
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 1: loses this game. Is the spread on this is one

991
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:56,360
Speaker 1: and a half points, and after the way Stanford played

992
00:55:56,400 --> 00:56:01,879
Speaker 1: against UM Northwestern, who has a really good defense, they

993
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:05,000
Speaker 1: were able to assault the game away essentially one ten

994
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:09,080
Speaker 1: to seven year seventeen seventy added that late touchdown. You

995
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:13,439
Speaker 1: know USC has weapons at wide receiver, but I don't

996
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 1: know how they get them to football. And Stanford's defense

997
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 1: is better than they were last year. They have a

998
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:21,360
Speaker 1: good defense. Again, I don't see any scenario where this

999
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:25,760
Speaker 1: goes well for USC. I don't agree. I don't agree.

1000
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:31,280
Speaker 1: I have USC winning this game. Um and I oh

1001
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:33,719
Speaker 1: Man betting on Clay help and makes my stomach turn

1002
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:39,239
Speaker 1: like I can just feel it, right. But here's the deal.

1003
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 1: Run the football. I think that Stanford could be vulnerable

1004
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:49,000
Speaker 1: if you pound the rock and I'm talking like forty carries.

1005
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:52,279
Speaker 1: Forty carries, make sure that Slovis only has to throw

1006
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:56,040
Speaker 1: sixteen or seventeen times. You know, you've got those weapons

1007
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 1: on the outside, and so maybe they'll make a big play.

1008
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:04,240
Speaker 1: But I love I love the idea of Stephen Carr

1009
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:07,480
Speaker 1: and uh and Vi Malapai, like getting just get the

1010
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:10,520
Speaker 1: ball to them over and over and over and over again.

1011
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 1: Keep the game close and give yourself a chance, because

1012
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:20,680
Speaker 1: if if kJ Costello isn't a um and Walker Little's

1013
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 1: not out there like your your defense, you're just gonna

1014
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 1: be able to try to pressure the quarterback all day.

1015
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:30,880
Speaker 1: Um I, I don't think that Stanford is gonna be

1016
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:33,080
Speaker 1: able to run the ball all that well, and so

1017
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna be forced to try to go down the

1018
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:38,680
Speaker 1: field against USC's talented defensive backfield, try to make a

1019
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:41,480
Speaker 1: play on defense and then keep yourself from getting the

1020
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 1: had on offense by just feeding the running backs over

1021
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 1: and over and over again. So I think I don't

1022
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:51,760
Speaker 1: think anybody scared of you of USC's defensive backs, you know,

1023
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 1: aside from the kid from Oregon Man, the kid who's

1024
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 1: a freshman last last year Hofunga. Yeah, here's what I

1025
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 1: would say, aside from him, Like, they don't have anybody

1026
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:07,920
Speaker 1: scary in their secondary. Their best player is Stephen Rector.

1027
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:10,680
Speaker 1: And then it's like three slots down and then you

1028
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 1: start counting everybody else. I would say that I think

1029
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 1: that David Shaw is scared of just being a passing team.

1030
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 1: So regardless of who us defensive backstor I think that

1031
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 1: David Shaw has made the passing game the boogeyman. And

1032
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:28,200
Speaker 1: so I mean, if they're not able to run the ball,

1033
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to throw, and they have somebody talented

1034
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 1: and k J. Costello who can get it done. But

1035
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 1: just something in me believes that USC can run to

1036
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:39,800
Speaker 1: victory in this game. And I know I do not

1037
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 1: believe that. I do not believe after the way that Northwestern.

1038
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 1: I granted USC has a different type of athlete then Northwestern.

1039
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:51,000
Speaker 1: I just think that Stanford is gonna line up and say,

1040
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 1: I double dog there you freshman. Freshman man slobis to

1041
00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:57,840
Speaker 1: throw it over our head and we're gonna try to

1042
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,120
Speaker 1: confuse you with some coverage, get you a law own

1043
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:04,000
Speaker 1: yardage situations, because they're gonna go all out to stop

1044
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:06,400
Speaker 1: the run. And then as soon as they get in

1045
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:09,760
Speaker 1: third down, third down, they're gonna throw exotic coverages at

1046
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 1: this freshman and it is going to end in in

1047
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 1: completions and a couple of picks if they I think

1048
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 1: the Stanford is going to focus on stopping the run,

1049
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:22,200
Speaker 1: and if they do that, they are going to win

1050
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:26,880
Speaker 1: this game. Ah Man, that you see, you've convinced me.

1051
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:30,000
Speaker 1: But I gotta I gotta stay on my side of

1052
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 1: the street, just just for the sake of what if

1053
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:38,920
Speaker 1: I'm right? So what if you're that's funny? Um? Um?

1054
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 1: We have two Arizona schools playing and it's not Arizona

1055
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:47,200
Speaker 1: and Arizona State. We got Northern Arizona traveling to Tucson

1056
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:52,120
Speaker 1: to go play Arizona and Northern Arizona beat Montana State

1057
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 1: last week thirty seven to twenty three. It Ralph, you're

1058
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:01,360
Speaker 1: in Arizona, man, you can tell me about this guy.

1059
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:04,120
Speaker 1: I know nothing about Northern Arizona and what I know

1060
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:07,840
Speaker 1: about Arizona is that they lost Hawaii last week, so

1061
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 1: well two weeks ago. And I'm saying, I mean, is

1062
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:15,920
Speaker 1: this a game that they could lose? I don't know.

1063
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 1: Well anywhere anyone that actually is making a spread for

1064
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:22,440
Speaker 1: this game has you of a minus ten? How crazy

1065
01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 1: is that? Minus ten at home against an FCS school

1066
01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:30,400
Speaker 1: Like That's that doesn't look good for your program? Um.

1067
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 1: I will say this. NAU has a guy named case

1068
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 1: Cookus who is in his like eight year at quarterback there,

1069
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 1: Um he has eight thousand passing years. He might get

1070
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:46,040
Speaker 1: another eight thousand on Saturday night. Um, I'm gonna go.

1071
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:49,360
Speaker 1: I expect I expect Nau to be able to move

1072
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:52,200
Speaker 1: the ball a little bit and score, but it's still

1073
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:57,240
Speaker 1: an Au versus Arizona. Like that's not just your little brother.

1074
01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 1: That's like the accident baby happened when you weren't when

1075
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:07,439
Speaker 1: you were Yeah, so like that's that's the one where

1076
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 1: you got the twenty year gap between the oldest and

1077
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:12,080
Speaker 1: the and and and the youngest to where like the

1078
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:17,440
Speaker 1: oldest could be a guardian. Like that's that's what's going

1079
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:22,920
Speaker 1: on in my house right now, infant exactly. So, Like

1080
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 1: I wouldn't expect that infant to be able to take

1081
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:27,080
Speaker 1: your nineteen year old. I don't expect any of you

1082
01:01:27,080 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 1: to be able to take Arizona. I'm concerned that Nau

1083
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:32,680
Speaker 1: as somebody who moves the ball really well. Aaron flew Grad,

1084
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:36,360
Speaker 1: former Oregon and a SU wide receiver is their offensive coordinator.

1085
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:38,800
Speaker 1: Robin Flew Grad's helping out down there. He's got a

1086
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 1: long history as a very very good head coach. Um,

1087
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:46,440
Speaker 1: and you got you know, former former Arizona State defensive

1088
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 1: coordinator former Memphis defensive coordinator Chris Ball as their head coach.

1089
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 1: Like they've seen enough of the University of Arizona to

1090
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 1: know exactly what what is going to happen. But guess

1091
01:01:57,520 --> 01:02:02,200
Speaker 1: what you have A has you can guess. Oh, come

1092
01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:06,880
Speaker 1: on now, Khalil Khalio Tate, and and guess what I'm

1093
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:09,520
Speaker 1: gonna d I'm driving my two oldest kids. So this

1094
01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:11,760
Speaker 1: is how you know my relationship with Clil Tate's getting seriously,

1095
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:14,640
Speaker 1: I'm taking my kids to meet him. So you I'm

1096
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:18,160
Speaker 1: going down there on Saturday night. We're gonna, We're gonna,

1097
01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:21,439
Speaker 1: We're gonna watch the University of Arizona get a win.

1098
01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:23,360
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna see a lot of the players that

1099
01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:25,320
Speaker 1: I covered in high school on both sides of the football.

1100
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 1: So I'm excited about that. But I will say that

1101
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 1: it shouldn't be close, and it would be kind of

1102
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:33,120
Speaker 1: cool to see Cuil Tate duplicate his numbers from last

1103
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 1: week back to back. Three plus yard passing game and

1104
01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 1: one plus yard rushing game would be a lot to

1105
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 1: keep him in the national conversation. As far as just

1106
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:45,720
Speaker 1: the numbers go, you are wishful. I mean you are

1107
01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 1: hoping it gets help right now? You you some kind

1108
01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:51,520
Speaker 1: of way think that there will be some sort of

1109
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:54,680
Speaker 1: Khalil Tate thirty for thirty coming out of this season.

1110
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:57,520
Speaker 1: It's not happening. It's not. If I make it, it

1111
01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:05,120
Speaker 1: will happen. Will anybody buy it? The question? Executive producer. Yeah,

1112
01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 1: thirty for thirty thirty people watching, That's what it'll be

1113
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:12,040
Speaker 1: called of the last game on the Pack twelve slate.

1114
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 1: I think this is an interesting game. First of all,

1115
01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 1: Utah got to I'm sorry, Hawaii got two Pack twelve

1116
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:25,040
Speaker 1: teams to visit the island in one year so and

1117
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:28,320
Speaker 1: Arizona clearly went over there for a vacation. They forgot

1118
01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:31,000
Speaker 1: that they were supposed to play a football game, and

1119
01:03:31,280 --> 01:03:35,800
Speaker 1: Oregon State got absolutely demolished, wrecked, and beat up by

1120
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:41,320
Speaker 1: the Cowboys of Oklahoma State. They head to Utah. The

1121
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:44,840
Speaker 1: Rainbow Warriors are sitting there a six and a half

1122
01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:49,240
Speaker 1: point favorite. A Mountain West team is a six and

1123
01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:54,160
Speaker 1: a half point favorite over a Pack twelve team. I

1124
01:03:53,680 --> 01:04:00,640
Speaker 1: I am I promise you, I promise you, Ralph, this

1125
01:04:00,720 --> 01:04:02,760
Speaker 1: is going to be a game that is Hawaiian is

1126
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:07,560
Speaker 1: going to win this game. I did you see Oregon

1127
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:13,520
Speaker 1: State against Oregon State against Oklahoma State. Oklahoma State had

1128
01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 1: six hundred yards of total offense. They rushed for I

1129
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:20,400
Speaker 1: think off the top of my head three if I remember,

1130
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:25,080
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty two yards on over fifty carries

1131
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 1: and four touchdowns. And then they threw for another like

1132
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:32,320
Speaker 1: the quarterback only had like four or five in completions.

1133
01:04:32,360 --> 01:04:35,479
Speaker 1: That that the quarterback Oklahoma State Sanders, and he threw

1134
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:38,680
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. He almost had a perfect quarterback Rady. I'm

1135
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:42,440
Speaker 1: sitting there like there is and Hawaii, after watching what

1136
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:46,200
Speaker 1: they did to Arizona, who's better than Oregon State. I

1137
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:51,440
Speaker 1: don't see any way that Oregon State wins this gamp.

1138
01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:57,920
Speaker 1: I don't see anyway because um Arizona at least had

1139
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:01,800
Speaker 1: the threat of Khalil Tape running the ball. Jake Luton

1140
01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:05,320
Speaker 1: and Gibby It neither one of them can run Jamaar Jefferson.

1141
01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:09,080
Speaker 1: They're gonna load up to stop him. And Hawaii's gonna

1142
01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:12,680
Speaker 1: win this game. Bro, I'm picking Hawaii. I'm gonna tell

1143
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:15,520
Speaker 1: you the guaranteed money is Oregon State plus six and

1144
01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:18,640
Speaker 1: a half. That is your that is your lock. That

1145
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:22,240
Speaker 1: is your guaranteed money. Oregon State's gonna run the football

1146
01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:26,600
Speaker 1: like Arizona forgot to. Hawaii is not going to run

1147
01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:29,360
Speaker 1: the football because they don't They don't have the discipline

1148
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:32,720
Speaker 1: that Mike Gundy and Oklahoma State had, and you're gonna

1149
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:36,000
Speaker 1: see Oregon State consistently move the ball in this Hawaii team.

1150
01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:38,520
Speaker 1: People are only looking at the results of the Hawaii game.

1151
01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:40,640
Speaker 1: They're not looking at the fact that Hawaii turned the

1152
01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:44,160
Speaker 1: ball over six times. They're not looking at the fact

1153
01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:47,480
Speaker 1: that Hawaii switched quarterbacks in the middle of the game.

1154
01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:49,800
Speaker 1: Why did a lot to give that game away? Arizona

1155
01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:52,520
Speaker 1: just didn't do anything to help their own cause. I

1156
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:56,480
Speaker 1: don't see Oregon State as being inefficient on offense. If

1157
01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:59,360
Speaker 1: you give them extra chances, they're gonna score the football.

1158
01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:01,800
Speaker 1: And this might end up being like a fifty to

1159
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:05,520
Speaker 1: forty game. But I think Oregon State goes and and

1160
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:08,600
Speaker 1: gets this win. That was not a good Hawaii team

1161
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:11,040
Speaker 1: that beat Arizona. That was a Hawaii team that did

1162
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 1: everything they could to lose that game in Arizona just

1163
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:19,280
Speaker 1: wanted to lose more. And that's where we're at right now. Ralph.

1164
01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:23,400
Speaker 1: I think this is a situation to where that that

1165
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:27,920
Speaker 1: they can't lose this game. Oregon State cannot lose this game.

1166
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:31,480
Speaker 1: It is crucial. It is a big deal to the conference.

1167
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:34,760
Speaker 1: And if Oregon State loses this game, then guess whatever.

1168
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:36,959
Speaker 1: Guess how many games that they are going to win

1169
01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:40,400
Speaker 1: in twenty nine team if they lose this game, a

1170
01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:45,240
Speaker 1: grand total of one. I don't know how they If

1171
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:48,440
Speaker 1: they lose to Hawaii, the only game that they're gonna

1172
01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:54,360
Speaker 1: win is stop it, dude. They I had to look

1173
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:57,280
Speaker 1: to see who CP was on their schedule next week.

1174
