1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Daniel. We've got a new episode out now of Extra Nuggets,

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: Very True Extra Nuggets Dot Show, the very very new

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 1: podcast I co host with our good friend and just

4
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: all around excellent person Adam Aman, in which we take

5
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 1: two Jeopardy categories and deep dive all ten of the clues.

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 1: One's more academic, ones more pop culture, and we just

7
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: learn a little more about ten correct responses from Jeopardy.

8
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: We've done Bob Marley, We've done compliments from movies. We've

9
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: done basic American history. There's a ton to come. I

10
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:34,639
Speaker 1: think it's just fun learning Ty.

11
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 2: The stakes are low, the potential for random new knowledge

12
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 2: is sky high. It's you, it's our friend Adam Amin

13
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 2: going out to Extra Nuggets Dot Show or search Extra

14
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: Nuggets wherever you get your podcasts.

15
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, welcome to the solid verbal all that for me,

16
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: I'm a man, I'm forty. I've heard so many players say, well,

17
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: I want to be happy. You want to be happy

18
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: for Dake at a steak? Is that whoa whoa and

19
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: Dan and Tie. Welcome back to the Salibroba boys and girls.

20
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 2: My name is Ty hilde Brandt, that fine gentleman over

21
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 2: there in the heart of the Midwest, the one, the only, always,

22
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 2: the incomparable.

23
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: Dan Rubinstein, sir, how are you. I'm great. It's always

24
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: a joy to be here, Tye, and I always enjoy

25
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: this part of the year. I don't think it's the

26
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: best part of the college football season, but the ability

27
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: to go deeper into a limited number of games. So

28
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,639
Speaker 1: sometimes we do it with the New Year's six bowls

29
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: or the playoff, and we go through all the bowls

30
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: and preview and react and do everything like that in

31
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: December and January. But when we have this concentrated, this

32
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: distilled number of games with big stakes, albeit somewhat irrelevant, weirdly,

33
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: I enjoy like looking at deep diving the numbers and

34
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: rewatching different you know, drives, and really trying to dig

35
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: our information. Pause into conference championship games, I'm into it.

36
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: It is championship week. There are fewer games for us

37
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: to discuss, but we will put the full force of

38
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 2: the solidverbal behind it. That's what we do. It's nice

39
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 2: to actually have just a few games a great focus on,

40
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: as opposed to the normal allotment of sixty or however

41
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: many games we try to list off in the span

42
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: of a normal college football week, this episode, all of

43
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 2: our episodes driven by our good friends over at Geico.

44
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: If you will be in the greater Atlanta area this

45
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 2: Friday evening, it is an earlier show than we've done

46
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 2: in the past. Six thirty pm Eastern Time. Solidverballive dot

47
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 2: com is where you can go to get your tickets

48
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: for the Atlanta show. We have locked in on content.

49
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 2: We are inducting college football things into a Hall of

50
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: Fame of our own creation. Legal has me say, not

51
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 2: affiliated with the actual college Football Hall of Fame, which

52
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 2: is also in Atlanta, conveniently enough. Conveniently enough, don't know

53
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 2: how that happened. So we hope if you're gonna be

54
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: in the Atlanta area, you'll consider coming out to see us,

55
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 2: shake our hand, maybe stop by afterwards. We're still trying

56
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 2: to figure out where we're going to watch the Pac

57
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 2: twelve game afterwards.

58
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: Right then, Yeah, we're gonna be right by Georgia Tech,

59
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: which we'll actually get into some Georgia Tech I think

60
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: here momentarily in that area of Atlanta downtown ish we

61
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: will figure out a place to watch the game. There

62
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: are bars and restaurants and I'm sure TVs around Terminal

63
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: West soliverblelive dot com. Once again, I think I'm most concerned.

64
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: I'm not concerned about putting on an excellent show because

65
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 1: that's what we do soliverblelive dot Com. And I'm not

66
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: concerned about inducting the things that we are inducting from

67
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two season into our Hall of Fame

68
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: soliverblelive dot Com. What I'm most worried about is because

69
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: we are so busy. We're recording stuff before the show.

70
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: We are trying to hustle and get back to our

71
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: homes on Saturday morning. My big concern is anytime I

72
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: go to a great food city, is allotting the needed time, Like,

73
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: oh man, I got to hit this like cheese steak

74
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: place that Tray Herbie recommend it. I gonna hit can kids.

75
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: The spot can't confirm. That's my concern. So I'm like,

76
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: I have my yarn and my my map in front

77
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: of me. I'm like, all right, how do we get

78
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: from the hotel to this lunch? Should we do two brunches?

79
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: Should we do an early dinner and a late dinner.

80
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: That's where my concern is because we're prepped and readysolivrablelive

81
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,280

91
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,440

110
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: Can't wait.

111
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 2: Shall we just dive in Lat's I gotta save the

112
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 2: pipes for the For the week ahead, we got a

113
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 2: lot going on your updated college football playoff rankings. No

114
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 2: big surprise. Dan one through four is Georgia, Michigan, TCU,

115
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,799
Speaker 2: and USC now checking in. All four of those teams

116
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 2: will be discussed here momentarily, all four of those teams.

117
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 2: In essence, you win. You're into the college football Playoff

118
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 2: nipping at their heels as number five Ohio State. There

119
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 2: is probably still a path for Ohio State, though Boomsheck

120
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 2: a lack of Corgan didn't really specify what that would

121
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 2: look like, given the fact that Ohio State does not

122
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 2: play any further games here in the twenty twenty two

123
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 2: college football regular season.

124
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 3: We've also got.

125
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: Alabama at number six. It seems as if Alabama is

126
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 2: out of this thing. We've learned maybe not to count

127
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 2: Bama out too much, but at ten and two, number six,

128
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 2: not a game in front of them to be had.

129
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 2: It would seem as if Bama is out of at

130
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 2: Tennessee is at seven, Penn State is crept all the

131
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 2: way up to number eight, Clemson still in the top

132
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: ten at number nine, and Kansas State checking in at

133
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 2: number ten. We didn't have to spend a whole lot

134
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 2: of time on this. I know we've got news about

135
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 2: coaches and transfer portals and the works, But any quick

136
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 2: thoughts on what you see here anything surprise you.

137
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: No, it's the illusion that I made a little bit early.

138
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: That would be all not ill that, why is Georgia

139
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: play this game? Like should Georgia just send out a

140
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: bunch of walk ons and be like, yeah, we're gonna

141
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: force your hand leave us out of the playoff after

142
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: we lose to LSU fifty eight to three with a

143
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: bunch of walk ons. I'm a big believer now that

144
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: you just can't let Ohio State into this, even if

145
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: TC loses, even if USC loses. At this point, USC

146
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: was impressive enough against the best defense that they played

147
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: all season long last week that you're rewarding Ohio State

148
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: for losing comfortably with their big opportunity to get into

149
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: the Big Ten championship game. And I know championship games

150
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: are just sort of a construction with no real points

151
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: see social and social construct that everybody just goes along

152
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: with competitive construct. Yeah, I don't see why we can't

153
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: just have this specific playoff that was announced last night.

154
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: In terms of the top four, it seems totally good

155
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: to me.

156
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I'd be very curious to see if this

157
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 2: is the way it shakes out. But I tend to

158
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 2: agree with you. It's one of the points of contention

159
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 2: as we go to twelve with this thing, especially this season,

160
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 2: I think it kind of has has bared itself out

161
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 2: an interesting way where if not these four, then then

162
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 2: which four?

163
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: Right?

164
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 2: Which other teams do you want to add to this

165
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 2: without feeling like too much of a retread. So again,

166
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 2: that's your top four. We'll see how things materialize over

167
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 2: the course of the weekend. But as it stands, again,

168
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 2: we've got Georgia, Michigan, TCU, and now USC. On the

169
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 2: coaching side, you mentioned Georgia Tech, they mentioned Brent Key,

170
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 2: So there had been reports about Lillly Fritz early on.

171
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 2: We had speculated about names like Deon Sanders or Jamie Chadwell.

172
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 2: They had decided that they're going to take the interim

173
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 2: label off of Brent Key. Brent Key notably took over

174
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 2: when Jeff Collins was relieved of command after a one

175
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 2: to three start. Tech has been better since he took over.

176
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 2: They went four and four. In many ways, this is

177
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 2: a big deal, not just for Georgia Tech, but also

178
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 2: for Brent Kee, who was a former team capt in

179
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 2: it was an All acc offensive lineman in his time

180
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 2: at Tech from nineteen ninety seven through the year two thousands,

181
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 2: So getting a big shot here to stay on and

182
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 2: coach the ramblin reck.

183
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: He will be, to me a very good hire and

184
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: it'll be looked at, it'll be smiled down upon, just

185
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 1: because it's not the sexy one. It feels like the

186
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: right one. It feels like when you have the familiarity

187
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 1: with players. I always like offensive lineman, former offensive linemen

188
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: and offensive line coaches with that background coming in because

189
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: it's a really nice mix of intellect and physicality. The

190
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: offensive line coaches, I feel like, you know, I think

191
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 1: maryle christ Ball will improve, but I think he did

192
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: a decent job at Oregon. Obviously, Sam Pittman had the

193
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: immediate success that he's had. Kirk Ference has been up

194
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: and down. But I think all things being equal, if

195
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: you were to give me former position coaches offensive line

196
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: of former offensive line coach familiar with the program, I

197
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: think is a very strong direction to go to. No.

198
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: I think it's smart. Think he's a believer in Georgia Tech.

199
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: He's not going to be a mercenary who's going to say, I,

200
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: you know, was good for two or three years, What's

201
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: what's the next job I can get. I think he's

202
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: in it for the long haul. And I like continuity

203
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,719
Speaker 1: a lot. You look around the sport and a lot

204
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: of very successful teams higher from within, and there's a

205
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: pretty strong reason why if the right guy is already

206
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: on staff. And so I'm sure they did their due

207
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: diligence with a number of options, and they said Brent

208
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: Key just makes the most sense. We're not trying to

209
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 1: win a press conference, we're not trying to win Twitter

210
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: or anything like that, and so I think I'm great

211
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 1: with it. He has backgrounds at you know, he was

212
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: at UCF forever and has been at Georgia Tech. I

213
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: think he turned down the UAB job way back when,

214
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,599
Speaker 1: and he has experienced in major major programs at Alabama

215
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: as their offensive line coach, so from the outside looking in,

216
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: especially with what he did as the interim coach, he

217
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: seems to check more boxes than he doesn't.

218
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 2: No, I think that's absolutely true. I know when this

219
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 2: news came out, there were many folks in the Georgia

220
00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 2: Tech world that were that were happy to see it,

221
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 2: to get that kind of continuity, because he has been very,

222
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 2: very good since taking over Tech. Finishing the year with

223
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 2: five wins is not a bad thing at all considering

224
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 2: where we thought this team might be at the start

225
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 2: of the year, So good for him. We've also got

226
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 2: is it Trent Dilfer to UAP.

227
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 1: Trent Dilfer to UAB. Okay, yeah, okay, okay, why I

228
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: only couldn't tell you. He's a famous guy who's coached

229
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: high school for three years and at one point was

230
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: on ESPN and hasn't been for some time, and seems

231
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: like a wild card of a personality without any working

232
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: experience as a college football coach. And we've seen other

233
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: you know, Todd Dodge at North Texas. Somebody pointed out

234
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: to us on Twitter the worst coach in North Texas history,

235
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: by the way, six and thirty seven was his overall

236
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: record there. I don't. I don't. It's one of those

237
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: things where and it's not unique to college football coaching

238
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 1: as an industry, where it's just like why grind, Why improve?

239
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: Why network and form all sorts of connections and work

240
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: your way through the industry. When Trent Dilfer is hired

241
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: at a very successful UAB program, and so that's that's

242
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: the disheartening thing that you're just like, man was did

243
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: they interview four hundred and forty seven people before settling

244
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 1: on Trent Dilfer? And I guess there's always the opportunity,

245
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: there's always the possibility that it works out.

246
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 2: But I mean, he's been involved with Elite eleven. I mean,

247
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 2: he's been fairly prominent with respect to you know, some

248
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 2: of the some of the camp circuits I know, and

249
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 2: it obviously has made a name for himself as somebody

250
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 2: who can recruit and coach quarterbacks and that type of thing.

251
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 3: So at least in that vein.

252
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: Who can recruit, how do we know he can recruit?

253
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 3: Maybe recruits the wrong word.

254
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 2: He's worked with prominent recruits on the coaching side, so

255
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 2: you know, he's at least been around some of the better,

256
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 2: more elite athletes that have found their way into college football.

257
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 2: But in terms of running a program, Yeah, that's that's

258
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 2: a different kind of recruiting.

259
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's one of those things where like does

260
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: u AB have an insurance policy out against making a

261
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: bowl game? Like are they betting against Rachel Phelps style? Right?

262
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: Like that that's the concern for me where it's just like,

263
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: this is it's an unserious hire when especially when you

264
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: look around the sport and you look like, okay, you

265
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 1: don't want to spend a ton of money. You look

266
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: at like D two coaches, you look at FCS coaches,

267
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: you look at whatever, you know, coordinators at certain places

268
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 1: that are just killing it. Right, even in the state

269
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: in Troy, it's just and he's not even if you

270
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: go back to like Gus Malson, and Gus Malson came

271
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: in as an offensive coordinator, not a head coach, but

272
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: he came in so connected within that state, right he

273
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: was at Springdale and you know the Mitch Mustanine thing

274
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: in the Springdale mafia where you're just like oh my god,

275
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: he is a name within this state, within this It

276
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: didn't work out. It We went terribly at Arkansas and

277
00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: he needed to go to Tulsa for a few years

278
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 1: before in the Arkansas state gig. But like on the surface,

279
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: it's just like oh man.

280
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 2: Splash, all right, all right, enough about Trent Dilferd. Will

281
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 2: see how that goes in I guess less prominent coaching news.

282
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 2: Kentucky fired Rich scan Guerrello after one season. Notably, he

283
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 2: stepped in for Liam Cohen. Of course, was a revelation

284
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty one he left to go to the Rams.

285
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 2: They brought in Scangerello. He is gone. Northwestern has fired

286
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 2: Jim O'Neill and two other assistants following their just one

287
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 2: and eleven disaster season. It is worth noting Dan that

288
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 2: the defense was the best part of Northwestern this season,

289
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 2: and they were ranked seventy second nationally per the sp Plus.

290
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 2: So I know one of the two assistants that was

291
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 2: relieved of command was a wide receivers coach. They clearly

292
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 2: have much more work to do on the offensive side

293
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 2: of the ball. I eagerly await what Pat Fitzgerald will

294
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 2: do to hopefully amend that side of things he's.

295
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: Been working on for about fourteen years. See Project Big.

296
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: It's a it's a big fixer upper. Dan. Yeah, there's

297
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: you know, there's the three game stretch of Clayton Thorson

298
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: here and Dan Person there and Trevor Simeon for like

299
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: four and a half like okay, okay, any other coaching news.

300
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 2: That's all I have the coaching show. That's all having

301
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 2: the coaching front. I do have transfer portal news. Who

302
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 2: want to get into that, I would love to. We

303
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 2: got a bunch of names here, some that have been confirmed,

304
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 2: others that have been reported. There is a zero percent

305
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 2: chance I'm going to get all of these, So let

306
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 2: me just list them off as best I can, and

307
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 2: you can jump in and tell me if there's anyone

308
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 2: else of note. On the quarterback side, where of course

309
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 2: I have trained most of my attention notre name again

310
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 2: open for business. We've got Hudson Card from Texas, Mali

311
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 2: Hornsby from Arkansas, Connor.

312
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: Basil act back in the portal, Yea from.

313
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 2: Indiana, Luke Altmeyer from Old Miss. The Padilla flotilla, Yeah,

314
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 2: trying to escape from Iowa City in the portal, Cade

315
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 2: McNamara whom we mentioned before for playoff quarterback playoff quarterback,

316
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 2: Paul Tyson leaving ASU, Jeff Simms this I think we

317
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 2: talked about Jeff Simms before, but Jeff Simms leaving Georgia Tech.

318
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 2: Davis Brent an interesting name from Tulsa quarterback also in

319
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 2: the portal, Jack Tuttle and Hank Bachmeyer have been there

320
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 2: for a while, but I just saw their names as

321
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 2: I was going through and figured out list them anyway.

322
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 2: On the running back side, L. J. Johnston from A

323
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 2: and M is an interesting name. Trevi and Cooley from Louisville,

324
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 2: Arlen Harris Junior from Stanford and Trey Sanders again has

325
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 2: been in the portal for a bit, but Tray Sanders

326
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 2: leaving Alabama could make an impact elsewhere.

327
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

328
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 2: On the wide receiver side, some names theo OEZ. I

329
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 2: haven't seen his name officially in the portal, but it

330
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 2: seems as if he's headed there from Oklahoma. Your boy

331
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 2: Dante Thornton from Oregon in the portal Dominic love it

332
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 2: from Missoo and two names here again just we always

333
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 2: try to keep our radar up for names of guys

334
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 2: from group of five or f CS programs that are

335
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 2: looking to go elsewhere. Grant Deboe's is a name from

336
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 2: Charlotte who I think could make an impact.

337
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 3: And MJ.

338
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: Wright.

339
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 2: He's not the Greek freak from Fordham, but he is

340
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 2: from Fordham, yes, and looking to spread his wings elsewhere.

341
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 2: I'm sure there are names I missed. I don't know

342
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 2: if any jump out to you, but those are at

343
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 2: least a sampling of what's out there in the portal

344
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 2: at the moment.

345
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: Yeah. I saw Penn had an edge rusher who seemed

346
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: to be somewhat coveted by bigger programs, and he committed

347
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 1: to UCLA. I want to say his first name is Jake.

348
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: I apologize for not learning IVY League transfer as yet.

349
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: They're for full names. I'm almost positive it's Jake.

350
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 2: Sure, I'm not one hundred per He's like Pele, he

351
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 2: doesn't need a last name.

352
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: I think both Dominic Lovett and Dante Thornton are interesting

353
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: names at receiver. Thornton actually came on pretty strong near

354
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 1: the end of this year when Chase Coda got hurt

355
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: for Orion. He's a big body, He's from the East Coast.

356
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: He's from I think the Baltimore area and so he

357
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: could come in and be like the guy for a

358
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 1: good school to me. Also lost Byron Cardwell, who started

359
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: at running back near the end of the twenty twenty

360
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: one season when CJ. Verdell went down and basically didn't

361
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: play this year at all, and Oregon had the number

362
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: one rushing attack in the country. So not saying he's bad,

363
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: but for whatever reason, fell out of favor with the

364
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: Oregon coaches. Otherwise, it's going to be fascinating, especially at quarterback.

365
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: Right Hudson card appears to be the biggest name. He

366
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 1: and Kate McNamara, depending on where they land, seem like

367
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 1: they'll have the biggest impact. There's already and I'm not

368
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: going to give fuel to the rumors, but there's already

369
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: rumors about some pretty big name receivers ending up at

370
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 1: some pretty big name destinations for receivers. And so it's

371
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: the new normal. And you can either yell and kick

372
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: and scream about it, or you can say, all right,

373
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: let's figure all it all out for next year, and

374
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: once everybody's landed, let's see who really added to their

375
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 1: roster and who seems to be in a kind of

376
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: disastrous place because as they're depleted. So I expect a

377
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: lot of big teams, especially big teams who are finishing

378
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: the first year of a new coach, so LSU, Florida,

379
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, Miami, Oregon, Oklahoma, USC, a lot of movement.

380
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: I just expect a lot because there's gonna be a

381
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: lot of guys who felt like they were going to

382
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: contribute more than they had under the previous guy, so

383
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: they gave the new guy a chance and then perhaps

384
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: didn't see the field as much as they they wanted to,

385
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: and they're like, all right, I gave him a chance.

386
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: Portal time, it's going to be a whirlwind.

387
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it'll be very intense. By the way,

388
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 2: folks head on a swivel out there, the new age

389
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 2: of Twitter has made it very easy to retweet potential

390
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 2: transfers that are not actually transferring. I've seen a couple

391
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 2: already and I almost fell for it myself. Head on

392
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 2: a swivel, Head on a swivel. Make sure you know

393
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 2: the source.

394
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: All right.

395
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 2: We will keep you posted as best we can on

396
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 2: the coaching side, on the transfer portal side, for sure,

397
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 2: A lot more to come in both of those worlds.

398
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 2: Don't really have a Saturday nickname dan Championship Week, right,

399
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 2: we don't need a nick correct it's Championship week and

400
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 2: it's US Netherlands. Are they playing USA Netherlands. Yeah, I'll

401
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 2: be back in time for the ten a m.

402
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 3: Game. I can give a preview at the end of

403
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 3: this if you want at the end.

404
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 1: At the end, I'm prepared to big, big day of

405
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: sporting across the United States. Daunt of the week. So

406
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:34,360
Speaker 1: typically what we do op sausage fingers McGee.

407
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 3: The second time that happened, I don't know what's wrong

408
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 3: with my board.

409
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

410
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 2: Typically what we do is we push the Friday game

411
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 2: till the very end, so that if you're listening to

412
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 2: this a little bit after the fact, it's not going

413
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 2: to go stale. But we're just going to do it

414
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 2: in chronological order today. Yeah, if that's cool with you. Again,

415
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 2: we will be in Atlanta watching this game or Atlanta

416
00:20:55,200 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 2: excuse me, game at some place near Georgia Tech. I

417
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 2: will leave that up to you to figure out where

418
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 2: the best place is for tenders with tie in a

419
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 2: PAC twelve Championship watch party. This game is eight pm

420
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 2: on Fox. It is in Allegiance Stadium in Vegas, featuring

421
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 2: the nine to three Utah Utes the eleven to one

422
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 2: USC Trojans, USC favored by three. Bear in mind that

423
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 2: these teams played back in Week seven in Utah and

424
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 2: it was about as evenly matched a game as we've

425
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 2: seen all year. That was the one in which Cam

426
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 2: Rising had a really big game through the air and

427
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 2: on the ground. He ran a touchdown in with about

428
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 2: forty eight seconds left. Dan and then Kyle Whittingham went

429
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 2: for two. Love it, love it, the anti Brian Harrison move,

430
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 2: went for two. They got it. Utah won that game

431
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 2: by a forty three to forty two score. Was a

432
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 2: great game, a great game USC's only lost, so this

433
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 2: is an opportunity for them to avenge that big old

434
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 2: crooked one in the win loss column. I'm not going

435
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 2: to act like I found anything, like I found a

436
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 2: stat like I found an edge or something that gives

437
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 2: one team a significant advantage over the other. I feel

438
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 2: like we have a pretty good sense for who these

439
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 2: teams are at this point. It feels a lot to me,

440
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 2: and we say it often. I'm not just punting on

441
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 2: the preview here when I say this, but it truly

442
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 2: feels like, whoever has the ball ass is going to

443
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 2: win this thing?

444
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: Do you think so?

445
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 3: I do? I do?

446
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 2: It feels to me like it's that kind of game.

447
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 2: Both teams have pretty good offenses. Obviously USC's is a

448
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 2: little better. Utah probably has a bit of an advantage

449
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 2: in the defense department, but it's not like we're dealing

450
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 2: with two shutdown defenses here. I think both will continue

451
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 2: to move the ball at will on the other and

452
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 2: it does come down to probably a few factors which

453
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 2: maybe I can discuss here and why I'm going to

454
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 2: go USC thirty eight thirty five agreed, disagree on that

455
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 2: sentiment that whoever as the ball ass wins?

456
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: Disagree?

457
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 3: Okay, why I like USC here?

458
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: And this is where we get into the part of

459
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 1: the year where we describe Winter one people that transcend

460
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: just being weapons during the regular season and become problems,

461
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 1: especially for defenses. But I think a winter wonder could

462
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: be an edg rusher or something like that. And the

463
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: way that Aiden Hutchinson right when the Blights got brightest

464
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: last year, Aiden Hutchinson really shined that to me is

465
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: the problem with Utah is what we saw from USC

466
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: last week against Notre Dame, a team all too dependent

467
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: on a tight end. USC absorbed a lot from Michael Mayor.

468
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: He made plays. He didn't have two hundred and seventy

469
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: three yards receiving or whatever it is that Dalton Kincaid

470
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: did in that first matchup. Who's excellent, full on excellent

471
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: on the level of Michael Mayer in terms of national

472
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: tight ends. He is in any conversation. The problem to

473
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: me is games are one preventing and generating explosive plays,

474
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: and Utah has played a number of terrible defenses and

475
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 1: a below average one in Oregon to finish out the

476
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 1: back half of the season. And so to me, this

477
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 1: is when you have Jordan Addison and Mario Williams now

478
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: Travis Dye had a good game against Utah, he's for

479
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: the year. I think he blew out his knee and

480
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: that's a change. But at a certain point, if Utah

481
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 1: can't go Haymaker for Haymaker with USC, which I don't

482
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: think they can do this week, I think they did

483
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: a great job doing it before Tavian Thomas out for

484
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 1: the year, has already declared for the NFL Draft. I

485
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: believe so Utah shorthanded in the backfield. I think Michael

486
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 1: Bernard is interesting, but he's not somebody who is going

487
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: to pace a win to me for Utah in this matchup.

488
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,360
Speaker 1: So I think Utah will succeed somewhat on defense. They're

489
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: down their best edge rusher, he's out for the year

490
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: Van Fillinger. So I think Utah is a good team,

491
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: but I think this is a when push comes to

492
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: shove moment and USC wins this game by ten to

493
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: thirteen points.

494
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you stole a little bit of my

495
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 2: thunder there, but I'm sorry, No, it's okay.

496
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 1: I agree with you.

497
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 2: It's one of the two reasons of picking USC. You

498
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 2: mentioned the big plays, and USC's ability to create him

499
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 2: is one of those things that favors the Trojans by

500
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 2: a pretty wide margin.

501
00:24:58,720 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: In this game.

502
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 2: They're much much, much more consistent at creating those chunk plays,

503
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 2: and I have to believe that works to their advantage,

504
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 2: even though they're really bad at giving them up right,

505
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 2: they're just so good at creating them. On offense, They've

506
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 2: got so many pieces, so many ways that they can

507
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 2: beat you. It's hard for me to believe that in

508
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 2: a big spot that if you want to say the

509
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 2: Winter wonder thing.

510
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 3: Go right ahead.

511
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have a hard time believing that isn't something

512
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 2: that works to their advantage in this game second time through.

513
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 2: So that's the first reason. The second is, you know,

514
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 2: we come back to Caleb Williams a lot. I feel

515
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 2: like he went next level with Notre Dame. In the

516
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 2: game that we saw against Notre Dame this year, we

517
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 2: saw a different side of him against a better defense

518
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 2: with this offense than we had all season. Maybe I'm

519
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 2: biased because it was against Notre Dame, but he's just

520
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 2: he's different, he feels different. Three eighty one and five

521
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 2: touchdowns in the first matchup between these two, also fifty

522
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 2: seven yards.

523
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was awesome. He was really good, really good

524
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: in that first game.

525
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 2: And if if it comes down to it, push comes

526
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 2: to shove, I give Caleb Williams the nod here in

527
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 2: that USC offense the nod in a game that I

528
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 2: think will be high scoring. So I think it's close.

529
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 2: I think these teams are very eavily matched, but I

530
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 2: will go with our trusted excitable score of thirty eight

531
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 2: to thirty five in favor of USC.

532
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. The idea is, if you are able to hold

533
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: Dalton Kinkaid to ninety three yards and some incredible catches,

534
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: maybe two touchdown catches and ninety three yards, it's still

535
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: not enough to get to forty. Right, Like, there's a

536
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: certain basic amount of arithmetic involved here that I don't

537
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: think I trust Utah in this spot.

538
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 3: Now.

539
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: I watched them completely demolish Oregon in this spot last year.

540
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: I think that was a different team. I think that

541
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,959
Speaker 1: was a different team, especially on defense with what they lost,

542
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: especially upfront. It just has not been the typical Utah

543
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: defense that we've seen that helps its own offense to

544
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 1: wear down teams on the ground. And Cam Rising scrambling

545
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: for seven on third and six, he will do that.

546
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: I just don't think you can beat USC with pickleball.

547
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: To me, is where UTI is at offensively. So I'm

548
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 1: going to give USC the edge. Also, in you the

549
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 1: biggest game of the back half of the season, Cam

550
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: Rising turn the ball over multiple times, and that's what

551
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: USC does. Their whole defense is not based around filling

552
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: lanes and getting stops. It's built around flipping the field

553
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: with opportunistic moments, and so I think it's just stacked

554
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: up against Utah this week. So I'm giving the nod.

555
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 2: To this, we agree, all right, let's go to Saturday here, Yes,

556
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 2: high noon, Doctor Pepper Big twelve Championship. But we get

557
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 2: in a tuition throw this week, I would assume, So

558
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 2: all right, more to come on that we can't really

559
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 2: preview it. We don't know much about the participants, but

560
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 2: we will have a full breakdown when we do the

561
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 2: Sunday recap show, which by the way, will be a

562
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 2: little bit later. I presume we need to wait and

563
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 2: see what the rankings are and what the bowl matchups

564
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 2: are before we go live. So more to come on

565
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 2: that go to forballers dot com if you're ever so inclined.

566
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: If you want to get early access.

567
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 2: To that show, maybe watch it live as we do it,

568
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 2: but stay tuned on Sunday. This is an AT and

569
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 2: T Stadium in Arlington. It's Case State, It's TCU. TCU

570
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 2: favored by two and a half points. These teams also played.

571
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 2: It's another rematch. Case State jumped out to an early

572
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 2: twenty eight to ten lead back in Week eight. They

573
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 2: led midway through the second quarter, Dan then they never

574
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 2: scored again from that point forward. It was punt, miss

575
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 2: field goal, interception downs, miss field goal, interception. That was

576
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 2: the ballgame TCU ripped off twenty eight unanswered. They won

577
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 2: that game by a thirty eight twenty eight margin. Really

578
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 2: impressive showing, I thought for TCU they never really lost

579
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 2: their cool despite being in the hole early. They just

580
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 2: kind of did their thing and found their way through.

581
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 3: What I was sort of hung up.

582
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 2: On here looking back on this thing is and we

583
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 2: do this with every rematch, right, we have to ask

584
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 2: what's changed since the last game, what has changed to

585
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 2: impact the way we feel about this one. Obviously TCU

586
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 2: hasn't lost, they haven't lost at all. Case State did

587
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 2: drop a game to Texas, though it feels to me

588
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 2: like they're better now than they were back in Well.

589
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: That was an Adrew Martinez game.

590
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 2: Was as Adrian Martinez thing. Yeah, so it's Case State's

591
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 2: just in a different place than they were back then.

592
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 2: Certainly more stable at quarterback now that they've got Will

593
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 2: Howard in there as their QB one, I don't expect

594
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 2: them to be as mistake prone this time around. I

595
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 2: think they'll be a little bit more buttoned up, they'll

596
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 2: be more locked in. So perhaps that's something that we

597
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 2: can consider here as we talk through this. But I

598
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 2: also come back to the big play thing with respect

599
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 2: to this game. TCU creates more of them. They create

600
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 2: more of them high leverage spots. We've seen it all

601
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 2: season long. This game, this moment, I don't think is

602
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 2: too big for TCU because they've been in a bunch

603
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 2: of nail biers this season already. They are more battle tested.

604
00:29:56,320 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 2: You could argue a much more veteran unit than Can's State.

605
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 2: I think they are in prime position to grind this

606
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 2: one out. I don't think it's a blowout by any stretch.

607
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 2: I think Case State will be up for it. I

608
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 2: don't think they'll make the mistakes. As a first game,

609
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 2: I got something like thirty one to twenty seven TCU getting.

610
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 3: The job done.

611
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: I have TCU covering this spread as well, and maybe

612
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: even by more points, by seven to fourteen somewhere in

613
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: that like flirting with a double digit win. Here one,

614
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: you have the Winter wonder thing in terms of consistency

615
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: at receiver. If Quentin Johnston's health is in a good place,

616
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: I saw that. You know, you don't trust coaches and

617
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: what they say about practice reports, but you know he

618
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: looks like he looks better than he has for the

619
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: last month, right, he hurt his ankle and he's been

620
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: in and out of the lineup, so he's obviously somebody

621
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: who can take the top off of a defense. Tay

622
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: Barber is a big play guy. We know about Kendre Miller.

623
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: There's a lot about the weaponry on an offense coached

624
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: by an offensive mind led by, weirdly, the best quarterback

625
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: in the Big Twelve against the second best quarterback in

626
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve. My got it? End of twenty twenty

627
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: you're like, hey, quick, little sneak prieve about twenty twenty two,

628
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: Will Howard and Max Duggan are the clear two best

629
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the conference and are going to play against

630
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: each other in the conference championship game. You would have

631
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: a number of questions, and I have some answers. They

632
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: got better. I don't see that level. I think Malik

633
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: Knowles is very good. I obviously think duce Vaughan is

634
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: very good. But Case State was not an incredible rushing team.

635
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: They have an incredible rushing talent who is able to

636
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: generate bigger plays, but they weren't super consistent. It wasn't

637
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: like duce Vaughan could put this team on his back.

638
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: And say I'm going to grind out five yards of

639
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: carry when everybody knows it's coming. That's the issue for

640
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: me is that he's not a change of pace guy,

641
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: but he's just a very specific back and just an

642
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: incredible all purpose guy out of the backfield catching the

643
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: ball as well. But it's just who terrifies you from

644
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: this Kansas State offense. I think Will Howard's ascension is

645
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: pretty terrifying if you're on the TCU defense. But this

646
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: is also a unit who is pretty dramatically improved over

647
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: the course of the season. Or in the case of

648
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: this matchup, they gave up zero points in the second half,

649
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: is that true when they first played? So they did

650
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: a terrific job adjusting to what Kansas State was intending

651
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: to do on offense. And this is at a certain point,

652
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: it's not luck, right if we're going to sort of

653
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: use the term lro luck running out, it's not luck

654
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: when you're able to win in a number of ways,

655
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: when you're able to go to Austin when game day

656
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: is there and completely prevent that Texas offense from doing

657
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: anything zero offensive touchdowns, if memory serves, I think it

658
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: speaks to maturity. I think it speaks to evolution, and

659
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: I just think this TCU team is better. And I'm mister,

660
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: before the season started, I was much more enamored with

661
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: Kansas State than you were. And I think the story

662
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: of Kansas State has been terrific this year. But this

663
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: is another who's got the bright shining stars. Who do

664
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: you trust more to get open in a three point

665
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: game when there's a minute and a half left. To me,

666
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: it's TCU's assembled offensive talents a little more than Kansas

667
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: It's about trust, babe.

668
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 2: It's the wise prophet Ashanti. Yeah right, And on some level, yeah,

669
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 2: this is just who TCU is. They are battle tested,

670
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 2: They grind these games out. They've been good at being

671
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 2: in these spots all year. I'm sure if they had

672
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 2: their druthers, Dan, they wouldn't want to be in close

673
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 2: games having to come from behind, but they've been very

674
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 2: good at doing that. And on top of it all,

675
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 2: you know, you talk about Case State being a good

676
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 2: story this season, they have. We've just sort of gotten

677
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 2: to the point now with TCU where we're just kind

678
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 2: of glossing over the fact that they're twelve and oh

679
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 2: with a first year head coach on the heels of

680
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 2: whatever went on at the end of the Gary Patterson era.

681
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 2: Talk about good stories this season, you got to include

682
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 2: TCU in that conversation. There's no two ways about it.

683
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 2: I really like their chances here. I really like their

684
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 2: chances here to finish the job, and I hope for

685
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 2: their sake and their fans that they're able to do so,

686
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 2: you know, they ride here.

687
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: Gimme, okay, thought experiment, What is the score of a

688
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 1: Kansas State win? And this is you know, you're you're

689
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 1: predicting boom shack Laca Coregan and his crew right now.

690
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 1: What is the score by which Kansas State wins this game?

691
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 1: That forces the Committee's hand to say, well, a ton

692
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: more people are going to watch Ohio State against Georgia

693
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 1: or whoever in the playoff. And while we love what

694
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 1: TCU was able to do this year, for sure, them

695
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 1: losing thirty five to fourteen to Kansas State makes it

696
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:47,720
Speaker 1: very difficult for us to pick TCU a non conference champion,

697
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: Whereas we feel that Michigan might be the best team

698
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: in the country and Ohio you know, suddenly you're doing

699
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: you know, the Rube Goldberg machine to talk yourself into

700
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: Ohio State.

701
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 2: We Ohio State lost by what twenty two to twenty

702
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 2: three points? So is it fourteen? Is it fourteen? Is

703
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 2: case State winning like thirty eight twenty four? It might

704
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 2: be one point, it might be twenty four to twenty two.

705
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 3: I hope it's not. But yeah, I don't think you're wrong.

706
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: There is something to me. And this is the the

707
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 1: cynical part of all of our brains, yep, that the

708
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: playoff is a television program and there are four hundred

709
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 1: and forty two TCU alumni a live in America right now.

710
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: That's the issue, and it's unfair, it's bs. But that's

711
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 1: the cynical part of my brain that the margin for

712
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 1: error and the bar that needs to be cleared for

713
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: TCU I think continues.

714
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 2: To be higher unfairly. But that's where we are. All right,

715
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 2: let's go to four pm. We agree again. By the way,

716
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 2: four pm CBS. This is the SEC game. They played

717
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 2: at Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

718
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 1: A good job, thank you.

719
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 2: We will be there against Sliver, butle live the day before.

720
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 2: If you're going to be in town, come on out,

721
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 2: see us, shake our hand, watch the PAC twelve game

722
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 2: with us. Wherever we go parts unknown after the show,

723
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 2: Show After the show, LSU at nine and three, Georgia

724
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,919
Speaker 2: at twelve and oh Georgia favor by seventeen and one

725
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 2: half points.

726
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 3: Dan.

727
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 2: These teams did not play during the regular season, and

728
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 2: of course until last week, it looked like LSU may

729
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 2: have had an outside shot at the playoff, but you know,

730
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 2: they drop a third game on the road to a

731
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 2: five and seven A and M team that pretty much

732
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 2: killed it. Those chances are pretty much down the drain now,

733
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 2: still a lot to play for, and I think we

734
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 2: would both agree that on some level LSU is a

735
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 2: dangerous team, especially in a situation like this where folks

736
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,800
Speaker 2: are already counting them out sight unseen. What are your thoughts,

737
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,320
Speaker 2: Here's what's your read. Does LSU have a shot?

738
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: LS who has a shot? Just because they're not playing

739
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: for anything? So there's like this element of danger with

740
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: LS a good coach and Brian Kelly when healthy. They

741
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 1: have a very good quarterback in Jade Daniels, They've got

742
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 1: some scary people up front on defense, and they have

743
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 1: playmakers on both sides of the ball. Georgia is not

744
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,320
Speaker 1: where they were last year, the way they separated themselves

745
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: from everybody at least leading up to the you know,

746
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: the SEC Championship game that they lost Alabama in. That's

747
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 1: the danger with LSU. The other danger is there's a

748
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 1: two word term that I hate seeing leading up to

749
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: the game with a quarterback, and that's walking boot. Oh yeah,

750
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:41,919
Speaker 1: with Jane Daniels's ankle, yes, brained ankle. And so it's

751
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: concerning to me to see those two very specific words

752
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: when he is responsible for so much of that offense,

753
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: not just throwing the ball, not just running the ball,

754
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: but buying himself time, rallying the team, big moments, scram like.

755
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 1: It's just he's the heartbeat of this team. He's the Zerbiak,

756
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 1: as we like to say, if you remember while he's

757
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 1: erbiak being responsible for like seventy seven percent of his

758
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: team's points at Miami Ohio. That's the concern to me

759
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: that any LSU victory very specifically glows through goes through

760
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels. And what Georgia has done this year is

761
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 1: they've been ruthless on offense, albeit not as incredible at

762
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: times because their loss of talent from last year. That's

763
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: more pronounced on defense, but they've come out of the

764
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: gate so strong, and I just don't know if I

765
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: love this LSU team playing from behind. If all of

766
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 1: a sudden, Jadan Daniel needs to throw it fifty three

767
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 1: times against Georgia, like, I think there is a very

768
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: specific like, if you're able to throw the ball only

769
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 1: thirty four times against Georgia, it probably means you're having

770
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,479
Speaker 1: some success on the ground against his bulldog team, which

771
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: not many teams do. I just it's hard for me

772
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: to construct this win knowing Jaden Daniels is, even if

773
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:01,240
Speaker 1: he's eighty ninety percent whatever he is, needs so much.

774
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: We saw the most explosive offense in the country become

775
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:09,720
Speaker 1: completely grounded against this Georgia team. And the games in Atlanta,

776
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: games not in Dallas, games not in Chicago, games on

777
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: in Seattle. It's gonna be a ferocious home crowd for

778
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: the Dogs, and I just think there's too much speed

779
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 1: and there's too much opportunity for Georgia here. So I

780
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 1: have them winning by and also LSU limping into this

781
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: game after the A and M game.

782
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:26,839
Speaker 3: I don't know.

783
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: I think it's at least two touchdowns for the Dogs.

784
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:34,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think I'm with you on paper,

785
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 2: This looks like a pretty good mismatch for obvious reasons.

786
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 2: We can get into that, But to me, the LSU

787
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 2: story is very much that of an unfinished product. A

788
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 2: good product, yeah, a good product that is getting better.

789
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 2: Jadan Daniels just started coming into his own second half

790
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 2: of the season, but Tigers aren't quite there yet. You

791
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 2: can see the pieces, you can see an assembling for

792
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three and beyond, and I think it won't

793
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 2: be long before Brian Kelly has this thing fully optimized

794
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 2: and tuned up and really to go and to push

795
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 2: forward as a true contender. But it's it's just not

796
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:15,240
Speaker 2: there yet. The numbers say that Georgia can run an LSU,

797
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 2: and in general, if Georgia can run on you, that's

798
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,320
Speaker 2: kind of the flywheel for the rest of the operation.

799
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,359
Speaker 2: You know, it makes it easier to pass. You can

800
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 2: create different looks, you can use motion, you can create

801
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 2: mismatches down the field. That's my biggest concern. Also, you

802
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 2: keep the defense on the field, keep the defense on

803
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 2: the field, you keep wearing them down. And by the way,

804
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 2: none of this is anything new. This isn't rocket science.

805
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 2: If you've watched Georgia football, this is the way they

806
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 2: beat everybody. It's a concern against literally all of George's opponents, Right,

807
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 2: how are they going to deal with Georgia upfront?

808
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 1: And as they start grinding you down on defense?

809
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,720
Speaker 2: So you know, you'll hear a lot about Jayde Daniels

810
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 2: this week in the Boot, and he's a great story.

811
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: The team trusts him.

812
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 2: I was very wrong about the quarterback position this season

813
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 2: for lsu Mia Kalpa right had a huge dove for

814
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 2: Brian Kelly in any sense of the word. But I

815
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 2: don't like the scenario in which Georgia can run on

816
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 2: you and your offense is basically a one man army, right,

817
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,720
Speaker 2: you know, Jane Daniels, one man army with the boot

818
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 2: trying to solve the Georgia defense does not seem like

819
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 2: a great setup to me. They've got playmakers, right. I

820
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 2: don't want to disparage Josh Williams or Malik Neighbors or

821
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 2: kashn Booty or I mean like they've got playmakers, but

822
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 2: it just feels a lot like it's gonna be Jane

823
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 2: Daniels out there trying to solve this thing.

824
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: And I don't like that at all. That's a bad

825
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:40,879
Speaker 1: matchup for me.

826
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 2: I'm on the dogs here. I could see this being

827
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 2: one of those games where LSU hit something early before

828
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 2: Georgia settles into the game. We've seen that, right, that

829
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 2: wouldn't be a new thing. But crock potting the rest

830
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,839
Speaker 2: of the way. Crock potting the rest of the way.

831
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,439
Speaker 1: Who's the team that you think has the best chance

832
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: to be Georgia this year? Who is built constructed, has

833
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:04,800
Speaker 1: the ability to win in different ways. If the runs

834
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: taken away, if the pass is taken away, that they

835
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: can get to Stetson Bentley. Who is that team?

836
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 3: I mean, is it Michigan?

837
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 1: I think it's the best of Ohio State? Unfortunately?

838
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 3: Yeah? Or USC?

839
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 2: I mean USC could be an interesting matchup because of

840
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 2: the offense.

841
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 1: But if that game comes down to a twenty seventeen

842
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:30,959
Speaker 1: type back and forth, you trust USC. No no I. Unfortunately,

843
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 1: we don't live in a universe which the best of

844
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 1: Ohio State exists every week. But if you're talking to

845
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 1: me about playmakers up front on defense and quarterback as

846
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: being the keys to winning the national championship, the best

847
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: of Ohio State, which again doesn't really exist against the

848
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:50,399
Speaker 1: best teams they play, I mean they played Penn State

849
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:51,840
Speaker 1: really really well and they broke that open at the

850
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: end of the game. That's the closest thing to me, Well,

851
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: that is a threat because nobody else as that. Nobody

852
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: else has JT. Tuamalu and CJ. Stroud.

853
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 2: But here's the thing, this is not twenty twenty one,

854
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two.

855
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,479
Speaker 1: It feels like there is a.

856
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 2: Lack of greatness when we talk about these teams.

857
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 1: They're very good.

858
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 2: Georgia and Michigan I think far and away are the

859
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 2: best two teams right now. But each of those teams

860
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 2: is beatable. On any given day, they're beatable, and it

861
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 2: is not like last season where it felt like we

862
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 2: had infallible teams right at the top. Could USC be

863
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen.

864
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 1: LSU, I don't know.

865
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 3: I don't know.

866
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 2: They've got the generational quarterback. We'll see what they can

867
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 2: do against a really, really good defense.

868
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 1: But I mean, I would have a conversation about Alabama

869
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 1: just because nobody is I mean, besides Caleb Williams, is

870
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: what Bryce Young is in terms of rabbit out of

871
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 1: hat And they also have, you know, great edge rusher

872
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, But just the defense and two

873
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 1: all over the place as a whole that I don't

874
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 1: know if I fully trust them. But still, you know,

875
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: Will Anderson and Bryce Young, I'm willing to have that conversation,

876
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 1: but right now, no, there's nobody obvious that, like, we

877
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: know Bryce Young can meet the moment. Sure, we don't

878
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,799
Speaker 1: know that about c J. Stroud. I don't know if

879
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 1: we know that about JJ McCarthy. But I think I

880
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:26,399
Speaker 1: trust CJ. Stroud a little bit more to win in

881
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 1: a number of ways. But it's we just don't live

882
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:29,720
Speaker 1: in that universe.

883
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 3: So I don't know, No, I don't know.

884
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 2: We could have some interesting playoff conversations here when we

885
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 2: get the final matchups. The USC matchup with Georgia is

886
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 2: one that intrigues me. It feels a lot like the

887
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 2: Tennessee game. So maybe not as intrigued as I say

888
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 2: now here in week fourteen when the Rubber meets the road,

889
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 2: but we'll get to that. I'm on Georgia thirty five seventeen.

890
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 2: I think the number the points breads seventeen and a

891
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 2: half's right around the correct.

892
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 1: One nineteen and a half.

893
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 2: Holy hell, big number. Yeah, it's number thirty five seventeen

894
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:01,799
Speaker 2: is my.

895
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: Final My other wild card Is Brady Cook and Mazoo

896
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: because they've already shown in that's all right, Let's go

897
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:14,400
Speaker 1: to eight pm on Fox the Big Ten Championship game.

898
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 2: Two teams that have not played this season either. It

899
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:21,320
Speaker 2: is eight and four Perdue. It is twelve to Oho Michigan,

900
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 2: another big line. Michigan favored by sixteen points.

901
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 3: Stan.

902
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 2: I've seen this one jump around anywhere from sixteen to seventeen.

903
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:32,399
Speaker 2: A high probability here that we've got to blowout. And

904
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 2: I say that for a couple reasons. First Off, you know,

905
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:39,399
Speaker 2: Perdue's defense is not terrible against the run. However, they

906
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 2: definitely profile as a team that will get pushed around

907
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 2: up front and eventually give up some long runs. And

908
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 2: that's basically the way Michigan beats you everyone. They've played right,

909
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 2: grind down the defensive line, pop up with that pinata

910
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:55,800
Speaker 2: play late. Yeah, we saw it last week with Donovan Edwards.

911
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 2: We had this two long touchdown runs late with one arm,

912
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 2: with one arm. The same holds true against the pass.

913
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 2: Purdue's defense not bad against the pass, but they do

914
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 2: give up big plays, so there's potential there for this

915
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 2: thing to get out of hand late. Also, the dirty

916
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:13,840
Speaker 2: secret on Purdue.

917
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,840
Speaker 1: Is the offense all that good? Do we think the

918
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: offense at Purdue is really that good? I think they've

919
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 1: gotten a little bit better in terms of appearing to

920
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 1: be more complete. Yeah, you got your guy, Chuck Sizzle.

921
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 1: Chuck Sizzle, we got I believe look Ivkaby. I'm not

922
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 1: anti Purdue, but I think what a lot of people

923
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: think of Purdue. They think, Okay, they're gonna air it out,

924
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna score points for better or worreas a lot

925
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 1: of people still think of Drew brees Perdue when they

926
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: think of Purdue an offense. They've had the best offense

927
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 1: in the Big Ten West, which is a little bit

928
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 1: like being the one eyed man in the land of

929
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: the blinde.

930
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:57,840
Speaker 2: But I don't know, like it's a lot of short stuff. Yep,

931
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 2: it's a lot of not having popped down the field

932
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 2: that'll get you to the Big Ten championship game. Right

933
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 2: A O'Connell and Devin mackaby got into it, and am

934
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:11,839
Speaker 2: O'Connell's beat up too, and is beat up and Chuck

935
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:13,840
Speaker 2: Sizzle like all these guys are are good names and

936
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 2: they've had a good season, But the offense is such

937
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 2: that it'll get you to this game.

938
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 1: It won't get you.

939
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 3: Pass this game.

940
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 2: It's not gonna get you past Michigan. So to me,

941
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 2: this looks like the most blowout potential of any of

942
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:28,360
Speaker 2: these games, like forty one seventeen somewhere in that.

943
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 1: I mean, look, we saw a similar situation with Michigan

944
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 1: last year beating Ohio State, you know, breaking through in

945
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 1: ann Arbor, and you're like, oh, man, is there let

946
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 1: down potential against Iowa been forty two to three. So

947
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 1: I just assume they're going to be locked in.

948
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm going to this one up, by the way,

949
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna.

950
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:56,239
Speaker 1: I just I'm not I I can't construct it in

951
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 1: my brain of you know, saying this is what happens

952
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 1: for we're doing this freak occurrences that it's special teams,

953
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 1: that it's busted plays, that it's Jeff Brahm wizardry or whatever.

954
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 1: But it also doesn't feel like the kind of team, yeah,

955
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 1: that Michigan will struggle with the kinds of teams that

956
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 1: they've struggled with. You know, I guess Maryland early on

957
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 1: going for it downfield. They've got better receivers than Purdue does,

958
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 1: and Illinois who was able to get stops and force

959
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 1: Michigan to you know, win the game four yards at

960
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 1: a time with Jake Moody, I just don't think that

961
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,440
Speaker 1: is that is where we land with the Purdue experience.

962
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:35,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, I have Michigan big yeah.

963
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:38,240
Speaker 2: All right, Well let's go to then the final Power

964
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 2: five championship game. Then we're going to talk very quickly

965
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 2: about some of the others that you know, weren't mentioning.

966
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 2: We have to mention all of them. This one eight PM.

967
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 2: It's the Subway ACC Championship. Gave Subway getting in on

968
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:52,799
Speaker 2: the action. Dan, I don't know.

969
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 1: The last time I went to subway. The reason I

970
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 1: don't go to subway, among others, is that, yeah, wah wah.

971
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:03,319
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I have wahwak close by, but you

972
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 2: go into a subway and your clothes smell like you

973
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 2: were at a subway. Oh man, can't wash that out

974
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:08,760
Speaker 2: of the jacket.

975
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 3: Man.

976
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 1: My first radio show in college was above a subway

977
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,280
Speaker 1: in the Oregon Student Union.

978
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 3: You can't wash that out, am.

979
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 1: I to understand foot long subs are now like eleven dollars?

980
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 1: Is that a thing?

981
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 3: Really?

982
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: I That's what I've been told, but I haven't been

983
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: to a subway. I think subway is fine, but I

984
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 1: just haven't been in.

985
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 2: A long good five dollars foot longs back in my day, man,

986
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:34,279
Speaker 2: I remember, yeah, the halcyon days, five dollars foot long?

987
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 1: What was your order? Not a sponsor could be, But

988
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 1: did you have a subway order?

989
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:39,720
Speaker 2: Definitely not a sponsor could be. I mean I'm always

990
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,280
Speaker 2: big on the turkey sub you know me, straight turkey,

991
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:44,320
Speaker 2: I mean with toppings.

992
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

993
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:53,240
Speaker 2: I load it up with with veggie toppings, but not

994
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:58,359
Speaker 2: not too creative from a sandwich architecture standpoint one.

995
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 1: With a meatball sub, well, they're not bad, pretty good,

996
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 1: all right? You want to talk Clemson, North Carolina or

997
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:06,720
Speaker 1: veggies and meats.

998
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 2: Clemson ten and two a seven and a half point

999
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 2: favorite against North Carolina nine and three. Again, these teams

1000
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 2: did not play during the regular season. Both have sort

1001
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 2: of limped to the finish in a sense. We had

1002
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:25,239
Speaker 2: Clemson losing last week at home to South Carolina. The

1003
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 2: Tigers also lost earlier in the month to Notre Dame,

1004
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 2: a game in which they thoroughly were beaten on the ground.

1005
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:35,000
Speaker 2: Just got the ground, Yeah, yeah, and then Carolina has

1006
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 2: lost two in a row, both at home to Georgia

1007
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 2: Tech and NC State in that rivalry game a week ago.

1008
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 2: I've got this one at like forty one, let's say

1009
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:47,719
Speaker 2: forty one to twenty eight Clemson.

1010
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 1: I'm right there. Yeah, I hate, I hate doing this

1011
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 1: chalk thing. I favorites.

1012
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 3: I know.

1013
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:54,920
Speaker 2: I'm worried about both teams.

1014
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 3: For different reasons.

1015
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 2: My worries on the Clemson side stem from the quarterback

1016
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:03,799
Speaker 2: insta mm hmm. And let's be honest, that's really not

1017
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 2: going to be a problem this weekend. That's not a

1018
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 2: problem when you play North Carolina.

1019
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:11,800
Speaker 1: Oh man, I don't know. It's not a problem when Carolina.

1020
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 2: Whoever plays quarterback in this game is going to throw

1021
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 2: for like two point fifty three touchdowns and not really

1022
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 2: have much issue because that is who Carolina is as

1023
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,439
Speaker 2: a defense. Clemson could also give the ball to Will

1024
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:27,479
Speaker 2: Shipley thirty times and that'd be enough. Basically, it's create

1025
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 2: your own offense. It's whatever you want to do in

1026
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 2: this game will probably work and you will score forty

1027
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 2: points against Carolina. My other concern on the Clemson side

1028
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 2: that's probably more relevant here is the packet up packet

1029
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 2: in situation for the Tigers, and there's no stakes after Yeah,

1030
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 2: like before last week they had a shot at the playoff,

1031
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 2: and this would have been a one loss team with

1032
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 2: a primetime matchup with a game left to play, maybe

1033
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 2: an opportunity to impress the committee of things in front

1034
00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:00,120
Speaker 2: of him go Haywire. But is basically a meaning this

1035
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 2: game in terms of the national conversation. And I just

1036
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 2: wonder what version of Clemson we get. The concern on

1037
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 2: the Carolina side is pretty obvious. They don't play defense,

1038
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 2: and there could also be a big time limp to

1039
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 2: the finish in them continuing after what we saw for

1040
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 2: the last two weeks. Yep, So I think I come

1041
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:20,319
Speaker 2: down on the Clemson side. I got it forty one

1042
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,279
Speaker 2: twenty eight. I don't feel great about this one at all,

1043
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:24,240
Speaker 2: but I think Clemson's a better side.

1044
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:30,799
Speaker 1: The question is do you take the team with the

1045
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:35,359
Speaker 1: better quarterback if you're confused about the outcome? Now, Drake

1046
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:38,280
Speaker 1: May's kind of fallen off these past couple weeks against

1047
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:39,400
Speaker 1: what NC State and.

1048
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 3: Who they played the week for Georgia Tech.

1049
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 1: They played Georgia Tech and lost, and I think scored

1050
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 1: seventeen in that losing effort.

1051
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:50,839
Speaker 2: I'm worried in particular about that side of things. When

1052
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:53,840
Speaker 2: I say limp to the finish, I'm being perhaps a

1053
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 2: little too simplistic. I'm worried that teams have figured out

1054
00:52:57,800 --> 00:52:59,160
Speaker 2: Carolina and Drake May.

1055
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:00,120
Speaker 3: Drake May is still.

1056
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,720
Speaker 2: Holding up numbers, but I'm worried that teams have figured

1057
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 2: something out because those are two games that I don't

1058
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 2: feel they should have lost.

1059
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 1: True, although he's a freshman and maybe you slow down

1060
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:11,399
Speaker 1: at the end of the year, it's a freshman wall

1061
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:13,959
Speaker 1: a little bit as people, as you mentioned, figured out

1062
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 1: like some of your tendencies. But he's also good improvising

1063
00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 1: and buying himself time and you know, finding the fourth

1064
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 1: or fifth guy. Like he's a quarterback well ahead of

1065
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 1: his years.

1066
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 2: He's well ahead of his years, and that would definitely

1067
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 2: hold some water if his numbers weren't still good. Right,

1068
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 2: his numbers are still good. In the offense has sputtered

1069
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:35,879
Speaker 2: a bit, so defenses have figured them out in some way,

1070
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:37,760
Speaker 2: shape or form to keep him out of the end zone.

1071
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:39,879
Speaker 3: And that's that's problematic.

1072
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 1: So here's the question. The question then becomes who do

1073
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 1: you feel more comfortable taking a not heavy favorite, but

1074
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:49,240
Speaker 1: a comfortable favorite when you say eight and a half points,

1075
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 1: seven and a half, seven and a half points, So

1076
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:55,879
Speaker 1: comfortable favorite with the potential to collapse via the passing game.

1077
00:53:56,280 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 1: I'm trying to be nice here, not name name, and

1078
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:05,280
Speaker 1: not be mean to specific people. Yeah, prone to collapse

1079
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:09,760
Speaker 1: via the passing game, and the passing game on defense

1080
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:11,279
Speaker 1: as well. Like it's one of those things where we

1081
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:12,799
Speaker 1: say a lot of people have figured out, you know,

1082
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:15,239
Speaker 1: North Carolina a little bit. People have figured out the

1083
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:20,239
Speaker 1: secondary of Clemson all year long, essentially, and so that

1084
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 1: to me is the concern that North Carolina could win

1085
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 1: this game forty two to forty, right, that you're able

1086
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:29,400
Speaker 1: to score many points against this Clemson secondary and like

1087
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:34,720
Speaker 1: a very inconsistent, weirdly pass rush from Clemson. I'm going

1088
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:38,319
Speaker 1: Clemson here. I'm going Clemson here, not because I think

1089
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 1: DJU is going to pick on the North Carolina defense,

1090
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:43,840
Speaker 1: but I just I'm with you that the limp to

1091
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,880
Speaker 1: the finish thing has me a little bit spooked, and

1092
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:52,840
Speaker 1: I think Will Shipley and some timely running from DJU

1093
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 1: I think should be enough to ultimately in the way

1094
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 1: that they paced a you know, a comfortable win against

1095
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 1: was it Louisville a couple of weeks ago, and that

1096
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 1: was a Brent Doman game. I know that, But I

1097
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 1: think I'm good with with Clemson winning this game by

1098
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:06,880
Speaker 1: Clinton thirteen.

1099
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 2: Clemson should give the ball to Will Shipley thirty five times. Yeah,

1100
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:13,359
Speaker 2: they should just give him the ball. He is their

1101
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 2: best offensive player. They should give him the ball and

1102
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 2: they should let him score. It will be a hot

1103
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 2: Knight through butter against this Carolina defense. That should be

1104
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:23,480
Speaker 2: the game plan. It won't be, but should have it.

1105
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 1: They've improved a little bit the Carolina defense. They have

1106
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 1: not what they were against.

1107
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 2: That they have they have, they absolutely have. They're still

1108
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:32,839
Speaker 2: not good. Okay, they should give Will Shipley the ball

1109
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:34,439
Speaker 2: thirty five times and they'll win going away.

1110
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 3: But they won't. They won't.

1111
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:36,239
Speaker 1: They won't do that.

1112
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:39,759
Speaker 2: All right, some other games here, if I could go

1113
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:43,399
Speaker 2: around the horn here, Group of five action is also

1114
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:46,120
Speaker 2: taking place. Let's go back, Let's travel back in time.

1115
00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:51,400
Speaker 2: Dan Friday, seven thirty, CBS Sports Network, the Conference USA

1116
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 2: Championship Game in the Alamodome.

1117
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:55,880
Speaker 1: That's where UTSA plays its home games.

1118
00:55:56,160 --> 00:56:00,800
Speaker 2: UTSA by the way, ten and two this season. Yep,

1119
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:05,440
Speaker 2: your boy, big Frank Harris against North Texas North Texas

1120
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:08,200
Speaker 2: seven and five. These teams met back in Week eight.

1121
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 2: UTSA won that game pretty good game, thirty one to

1122
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:15,399
Speaker 2: twenty seven at home. Frank Harris needed a touchdown pass

1123
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:17,200
Speaker 2: with fifteen seconds left to.

1124
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:17,880
Speaker 1: Get the dub.

1125
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:22,279
Speaker 2: This is another home game for UTSA. H I think

1126
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:24,000
Speaker 2: it could be fun. I think this could be a

1127
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 2: good matchup. North Texas lives and dies by the big play,

1128
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:31,240
Speaker 2: which always makes for interesting viewing. If nothing more, both

1129
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:32,360
Speaker 2: on offense and defense.

1130
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 3: That is just their mo.

1131
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:38,759
Speaker 2: I trust big Frank Harris again and UTSA again to

1132
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 2: get win number ten in a row to get the

1133
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:43,880
Speaker 2: conference championship. I think their offense a little bit too

1134
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:46,280
Speaker 2: much for the mean Green. So I don't know about

1135
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:48,560
Speaker 2: minus eight. I don't have a read on that point spread,

1136
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:50,760
Speaker 2: but I like UTSA to get the conference championship.

1137
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:54,239
Speaker 1: Here. I think I'm going North Texas to cover in

1138
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 1: this one. Okay, I think I could sign at large.

1139
00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:59,840
Speaker 1: I should sigh large the UAB game, nonwithstanding, the defense

1140
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 1: proved over the course of the year. They were scoring

1141
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:05,280
Speaker 1: over the course of the year. The win against Western

1142
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:07,480
Speaker 1: Kentucky was impressive. I went back and watched some of that.

1143
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 1: I'm just I think North Texas keeps it close. It's

1144
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:12,359
Speaker 1: been a nice bounce back year.

1145
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:16,120
Speaker 2: Saturday high noon on ESPN. It is the MAC Championship.

1146
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 2: They play at neutral site at Ford Field and it's

1147
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 2: the Battle of Ohio. Toledo at seven and five a

1148
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:27,439
Speaker 2: three point favorite against the Ohio Bobcats at nine and three.

1149
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 2: These teams did not meet during the regular season. I

1150
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 2: am on Toledo as am I. I am on Toledo here.

1151
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 2: This is a fairly even matchup on paper. But I

1152
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 2: do think the loss of Curtis Rourke for Ohio is

1153
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 2: pretty significant, and they're going to give the start CJ. Harris,

1154
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 2: He's red shirt sophomore. ESPN thinks very highly of him,

1155
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 2: dan so highly that they linked his name up to

1156
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:57,280
Speaker 2: the wrong CJ. Harris, who plays linebacker for Kent State,

1157
00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:02,400
Speaker 2: also in Ohio. So so yeah, I just I trust

1158
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 2: to lead a little bit more given circumstances, and I

1159
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:06,040
Speaker 2: got them the win and cover.

1160
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:08,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. I have Toledo because of the defense here. The

1161
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:12,200
Speaker 1: offense has not been incredible, but because of the Toledo defense,

1162
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 1: the ability to get after the quarterback, I'm going with the.

1163
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:19,840
Speaker 2: Rockets Saturday, three thirty ESPN Sun Belt Game sun Belt Championship.

1164
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:23,040
Speaker 2: They're playing it at Veterans Memorial Stadium, that is the

1165
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:29,520
Speaker 2: home field of Troy. Troy also ten and two this

1166
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 2: past season, hosting uc NO hosting Coastal Carolinas.

1167
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.

1168
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 2: Coastal went nine to two, but lost forty seven to

1169
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 2: seven last week James Madison. That is at least in

1170
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 2: part because they are without their head honcho, Grayson McCall.

1171
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:51,720
Speaker 2: Quarterback Grayson McCall out for the year. Hence the big

1172
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 2: points bread here. Troy is favored by eight and a

1173
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 2: half points. I went back and checked. I was really

1174
00:58:57,080 --> 00:58:58,200
Speaker 2: high on Troy before the year.

1175
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 1: Good I should have been.

1176
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 2: I was high on Troy because of that defense, and

1177
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 2: the defense has not disappointed. They've now won nine in

1178
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:07,720
Speaker 2: a row. There are only two losses this season were

1179
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 2: at app State and at Ole Miss. These teams did

1180
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:13,800
Speaker 2: not play at all during the regular season. I'm not

1181
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:16,720
Speaker 2: confident they can't cover this or really any spread, but

1182
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 2: I'm also not at all confident that Coastal is going

1183
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:21,560
Speaker 2: to be able to score on this defense. So I

1184
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:24,600
Speaker 2: will say Troy twenty one to ten. Relatively low scoring.

1185
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:25,720
Speaker 2: I have them to cover.

1186
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 1: I'm not confident, but I like the Trojans here to

1187
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:30,560
Speaker 1: win at home, as do I. I think they comfortably

1188
00:59:30,600 --> 00:59:33,919
Speaker 1: win this game Coastal, even without Grays and McCall. Even

1189
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 1: with Gray and McCall, excuse me, defense was kind of

1190
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:37,960
Speaker 1: a disaster this year. So I'm going Troy here to

1191
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 1: take advantage and comfortably win.

1192
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:44,600
Speaker 2: Saturday, four pm ABC, the American Championship Game. It is

1193
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:50,880
Speaker 2: in Yolman Stadium in New Orleans, Louisiana. This is UCF

1194
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 2: at nine to three. This is Tulane also, oh god

1195
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 2: at ten and two, so many two Lane favored by

1196
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:00,880
Speaker 2: three and a half points. We have rumors all week.

1197
01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:03,440
Speaker 2: I don't know to what end they affected the preparation

1198
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:07,080
Speaker 2: here about Willie Fritz potentially going to Georgia Tech. That

1199
01:00:07,080 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 2: did not happen. Brent Key of course got that gig.

1200
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 2: But I think a letdown spot maybe for TWU Lane

1201
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:18,400
Speaker 2: week after beating Cincy. Yeah, I don't know. I'm curious.

1202
01:00:18,680 --> 01:00:21,520
Speaker 2: It's a week after they beat Cincy. But it's also

1203
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 2: a revenge game for Tulane because UCF one when these

1204
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 2: teams played back in week eleven, so in that game,

1205
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 2: for whatever, it's Worth was a fairly comfortable win for

1206
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:33,200
Speaker 2: UCF because they led.

1207
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:35,520
Speaker 3: Wired to wire. Yeah, they led wire to wire.

1208
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 2: They kept two lane at arm's length, even though it

1209
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 2: was kind of a closer final score. They rushed for

1210
01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:45,480
Speaker 2: three point thirty six. Your boy John Rice Plumbly had

1211
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 2: a monster game on the ground there and through the air.

1212
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:50,040
Speaker 1: So I hears played well though in that one, did

1213
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 1: he not? Yeah, Taj Spears, Yep, yep. I'm going to

1214
01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:55,720
Speaker 1: lane here. I'm going with the home team who can

1215
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:58,160
Speaker 1: run the ball. I'm one with the better defense on

1216
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:02,360
Speaker 1: the on this kind of stage, UCF is fine. I

1217
01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:04,240
Speaker 1: don't think they can win in multiple ways. I think

1218
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:06,800
Speaker 1: they could, but I'm going with the home team Tulane,

1219
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:09,400
Speaker 1: who comes in with a good deal of momentum. UCF,

1220
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:11,040
Speaker 1: who they lose two a couple of weeks ago, Navy.

1221
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 1: Don't love that. Navy's defense is pretty decent, but I

1222
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:16,560
Speaker 1: don't love that loss. So I'm going I'm going to

1223
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 1: lane here to win by a touchdown.

1224
01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:21,760
Speaker 2: I went UCF back then, I'm going to go UCF

1225
01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:24,720
Speaker 2: again here. And there's a lot to like about Tulane.

1226
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 2: Michael Pratts had a good year. Yeah, Willy Fritz is

1227
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:28,960
Speaker 2: the man like, we both.

1228
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 1: Beat my precious Kansas State.

1229
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:33,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, we both like Willie Fritz a lot. Yeah, I'm

1230
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 2: just in on UCF in this matchup. I think it's

1231
01:01:35,240 --> 01:01:38,200
Speaker 2: a matchup that favors him again, So I'll go UCF

1232
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 2: plus the points.

1233
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:41,760
Speaker 1: I think I went chalk? Did I go chalk? Other

1234
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:42,680
Speaker 1: than North Texas?

1235
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:43,600
Speaker 3: I believe?

1236
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 2: So here's your opportunity to not go chalk. We're both

1237
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:49,680
Speaker 2: not go chalk here. In the Saturday four pm Fox game,

1238
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:52,800
Speaker 2: it's Mountain West Championship. They played on the smurf turf

1239
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:55,560
Speaker 2: at Boise and it is Boise.

1240
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:56,080
Speaker 3: State nine and three.

1241
01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:59,920
Speaker 2: Boise State, a three and a half point favorite against Fresno,

1242
01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:02,680
Speaker 2: stayed at eight and four. This is a really interesting matchup.

1243
01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 2: To me, this is a fun matchup. These teams played

1244
01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:09,160
Speaker 2: back in Week six. The Broncos won by twenty. Notably,

1245
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:11,640
Speaker 2: this was a game for Fresno without Jake Hayner. Yeah,

1246
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:14,880
Speaker 2: the logan five game logan five games, So Hayner was out.

1247
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:17,200
Speaker 2: He missed some time due to injury, but he's been

1248
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:20,320
Speaker 2: back for about the last month or so. Fresno hasn't lost.

1249
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:23,080
Speaker 2: Fresno has been really really good since he came back,

1250
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:27,800
Speaker 2: and this matchup, in particular to me, is really the

1251
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:30,680
Speaker 2: culmination of two great stories so far in college football,

1252
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 2: teams that got it together and have both gone on

1253
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:36,200
Speaker 2: a run. So on the Boise side, since they brought

1254
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:40,160
Speaker 2: over Dirt Cutter to run the offense, they're scoring thirty

1255
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:42,840
Speaker 2: four points a game. The numbers have been really impressive,

1256
01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:44,800
Speaker 2: especially in the ground, close to two hundred yards per

1257
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:48,520
Speaker 2: game on the ground. Taylor Green, who they installed at quarterback,

1258
01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 2: has been really, really solid. They've won seven of eight

1259
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:55,040
Speaker 2: since making that switch at both coordinator and quarterback. And

1260
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:58,120
Speaker 2: then on the Fresno side. Fresno keep in mind, this

1261
01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:00,240
Speaker 2: Fresno team lost by three at the Gun to a

1262
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:03,760
Speaker 2: nine to three Oregon State team. They got destroyed by USC,

1263
01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:07,680
Speaker 2: but USC might be a playoff team now, and in

1264
01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:10,080
Speaker 2: the process of that lost a bunch of guys got hurt.

1265
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:13,160
Speaker 2: So it was during that spell they lost to Boise,

1266
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:15,600
Speaker 2: they lost to Yukon. Since then, they've won seven in

1267
01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:18,320
Speaker 2: a row as they've gotten healthier. They're winning by a

1268
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:21,240
Speaker 2: large margin in all of those games. The defense has

1269
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:24,200
Speaker 2: played well. They're giving up like fourteen points a game

1270
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:27,120
Speaker 2: something of that ilk and they've got Jake Cayner back

1271
01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:30,160
Speaker 2: Jake Cane. So I don't want to go straight chalk

1272
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 2: all weekend.

1273
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:33,040
Speaker 3: I'm with you. I'm gonna go Fresno here.

1274
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:38,120
Speaker 1: Out right, I'm going Boise. I'm going Boise. You can

1275
01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:42,720
Speaker 1: call me Sir Leonard Chockington, But what a jerk. I

1276
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:46,880
Speaker 1: know it's in Boise. It's gonna be cold about thirty degrees.

1277
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 1: Guys from Fresno not used to that chill in the

1278
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 1: air altitude tie. I'm just not there. I think Fresno's

1279
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:57,200
Speaker 1: a good team. I think you go defense at home

1280
01:03:57,760 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 1: with a good quarterback, which I think they both have

1281
01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:02,320
Speaker 1: good quarter But the ability to run the ball is

1282
01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:05,240
Speaker 1: sort of interesting to me. For Boise, ability to get

1283
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:08,560
Speaker 1: after the passer, I just think it's lining up Broncos.

1284
01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:15,680
Speaker 2: Sorry, we got one more game to talk about, dan Okay.

1285
01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:21,360
Speaker 2: Patriot League action here Week fourteen college football season. They

1286
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:24,400
Speaker 2: play this one Saturday high noon ESPN Plus if that's

1287
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 2: the thing for you. Fitt and Field and Wooster Mass,

1288
01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:32,040
Speaker 2: New Hampshire at nine and three, Holy Cross across Saders

1289
01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:35,160
Speaker 2: at eleven and oh I try to find a point spread.

1290
01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:38,640
Speaker 2: I couldn't, Okay, which is typical when you look for

1291
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:42,720
Speaker 2: an early week point spread for an FCS game the Crossaders.

1292
01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:47,400
Speaker 2: They qualified automatically by virtue of their conference win, by

1293
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:49,680
Speaker 2: virtue of going eleven and oh being ranked highly enough

1294
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:52,800
Speaker 2: in the FCS ranks. I am inclined to go holy

1295
01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:54,600
Speaker 2: Cross here. I think we got to go holy Cross.

1296
01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:57,320
Speaker 2: I think we got to ride the Patriot League wagon

1297
01:04:57,320 --> 01:04:59,000
Speaker 2: as long as we can here to keep this thing

1298
01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:01,760
Speaker 2: going throughout the college football postseason.

1299
01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 1: I'm looking for odds here and I can't.

1300
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:05,400
Speaker 3: I couldn't find a damn thing.

1301
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:10,240
Speaker 1: Uh No, I found something. Scoresan odds dot com has

1302
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:13,840
Speaker 1: New Hampshire as a seven and a half point favorite.

1303
01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:17,360
Speaker 2: Really, that's interesting. That's very interesting because.

1304
01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:20,600
Speaker 1: If you if you on hold on, this is basketball,

1305
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:24,480
Speaker 1: the game already happened. New Hampshire beat him by fifteen.

1306
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:26,920
Speaker 2: The only thing that I could find is that holy

1307
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:30,600
Speaker 2: Cross is something like a twenty five to one, a

1308
01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:33,880
Speaker 2: twenty five to one long shot to win the FCS championship,

1309
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:36,000
Speaker 2: and New Hampshire is like eighty to one.

1310
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:37,880
Speaker 3: So I can surmise from.

1311
01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:41,200
Speaker 2: That that holy Cross should be a pretty good favorite here.

1312
01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:44,800
Speaker 1: Yes, I would think so. Yeah, I'm looking right now,

1313
01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:49,800
Speaker 1: New Hampshire. Nothing coming up. Nope, spread na.

1314
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:51,520
Speaker 3: We should have been more prepared for this, but I

1315
01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:52,960
Speaker 3: couldn't find it. I looked everywhere.

1316
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:55,240
Speaker 1: No, I mean that's preparing. You just couldn't find it.

1317
01:05:55,520 --> 01:05:59,919
Speaker 1: I'm going cross Aders by forty four points here four points. Yeah, No,

1318
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:02,600
Speaker 1: I think New Hampson will get on the board. I

1319
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:07,440
Speaker 1: have it as something around sixty to sixteen. Sixty to sixteen, yeah,

1320
01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:09,120
Speaker 1: a nice score A GAMMI outcome.

1321
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:10,000

Speaker 2: You got your system, I got mine. It's one of

1388
01:09:10,680 --> 01:09:13,559
Speaker 2: the most fun things that we do all year, the

1389
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:16,800
Speaker 2: confidence pool. Forget about points, breads, forget about all that

1390
01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:18,840
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about. We're just going to dig

1391
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:22,040
Speaker 2: deep into the well and pull out some crazy logic

1392
01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:23,000
Speaker 2: and pick some of these games.

1393
01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:26,200
Speaker 3: Love it for Bowlers dot Com. Dan, I will see

1394
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:27,240
Speaker 3: you tomorrow, all right.

Speaker 1: Can't wait for everybody out there. Enjoy your weekend.

1396
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:32,040
Speaker 3: We'll talk to you all soon.

1397
01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:36,240
Speaker 1: Hope to see you in Atlanta. If not, stay solid peace,
