WEBVTT - Championship Week Picks, Predictions & Previews

0:00:00.520 --> 0:00:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Daniel. We've got a new episode out now of Extra Nuggets,

0:00:04.280 --> 0:00:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Very True Extra Nuggets Dot Show, the very very new

0:00:07.480 --> 0:00:10.559
<v Speaker 1>podcast I co host with our good friend and just

0:00:10.640 --> 0:00:14.160
<v Speaker 1>all around excellent person Adam Aman, in which we take

0:00:14.240 --> 0:00:18.920
<v Speaker 1>two Jeopardy categories and deep dive all ten of the clues.

0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:21.760
<v Speaker 1>One's more academic, ones more pop culture, and we just

0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:26.720
<v Speaker 1>learn a little more about ten correct responses from Jeopardy.

0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:30.040
<v Speaker 1>We've done Bob Marley, We've done compliments from movies. We've

0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:33.120
<v Speaker 1>done basic American history. There's a ton to come. I

0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:34.639
<v Speaker 1>think it's just fun learning Ty.

0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:38.720
<v Speaker 2>The stakes are low, the potential for random new knowledge

0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:41.920
<v Speaker 2>is sky high. It's you, it's our friend Adam Amin

0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:45.640
<v Speaker 2>going out to Extra Nuggets Dot Show or search Extra

0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:47.760
<v Speaker 2>Nuggets wherever you get your podcasts.

0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, welcome to the solid verbal all that for me,

0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm a man, I'm forty. I've heard so many players say, well,

0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 1>I want to be happy. You want to be happy

0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:03.760
<v Speaker 1>for Dake at a steak? Is that whoa whoa and

0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:09.959
<v Speaker 1>Dan and Tie. Welcome back to the Salibroba boys and girls.

0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:12.240
<v Speaker 2>My name is Ty hilde Brandt, that fine gentleman over

0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:15.840
<v Speaker 2>there in the heart of the Midwest, the one, the only, always,

0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:16.680
<v Speaker 2>the incomparable.

0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:21.240
<v Speaker 1>Dan Rubinstein, sir, how are you. I'm great. It's always

0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:24.800
<v Speaker 1>a joy to be here, Tye, and I always enjoy

0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:27.679
<v Speaker 1>this part of the year. I don't think it's the

0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:30.640
<v Speaker 1>best part of the college football season, but the ability

0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:34.640
<v Speaker 1>to go deeper into a limited number of games. So

0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:36.639
<v Speaker 1>sometimes we do it with the New Year's six bowls

0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:38.560
<v Speaker 1>or the playoff, and we go through all the bowls

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 1>and preview and react and do everything like that in

0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:44.240
<v Speaker 1>December and January. But when we have this concentrated, this

0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 1>distilled number of games with big stakes, albeit somewhat irrelevant, weirdly,

0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:53.840
<v Speaker 1>I enjoy like looking at deep diving the numbers and

0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:58.080
<v Speaker 1>rewatching different you know, drives, and really trying to dig

0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 1>our information. Pause into conference championship games, I'm into it.

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 2>It is championship week. There are fewer games for us

0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:10.480
<v Speaker 2>to discuss, but we will put the full force of

0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:13.960
<v Speaker 2>the solidverbal behind it. That's what we do. It's nice

0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:17.160
<v Speaker 2>to actually have just a few games a great focus on,

0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:20.160
<v Speaker 2>as opposed to the normal allotment of sixty or however

0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:22.760
<v Speaker 2>many games we try to list off in the span

0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:25.840
<v Speaker 2>of a normal college football week, this episode, all of

0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:28.520
<v Speaker 2>our episodes driven by our good friends over at Geico.

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:32.160
<v Speaker 2>If you will be in the greater Atlanta area this

0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:36.040
<v Speaker 2>Friday evening, it is an earlier show than we've done

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:39.799
<v Speaker 2>in the past. Six thirty pm Eastern Time. Solidverballive dot

0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:41.359
<v Speaker 2>com is where you can go to get your tickets

0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:44.240
<v Speaker 2>for the Atlanta show. We have locked in on content.

0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:49.240
<v Speaker 2>We are inducting college football things into a Hall of

0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:53.720
<v Speaker 2>Fame of our own creation. Legal has me say, not

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 2>affiliated with the actual college Football Hall of Fame, which

0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.840
<v Speaker 2>is also in Atlanta, conveniently enough. Conveniently enough, don't know

0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 2>how that happened. So we hope if you're gonna be

0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:03.720
<v Speaker 2>in the Atlanta area, you'll consider coming out to see us,

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 2>shake our hand, maybe stop by afterwards. We're still trying

0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:08.600
<v Speaker 2>to figure out where we're going to watch the Pac

0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:09.600
<v Speaker 2>twelve game afterwards.

0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.040
<v Speaker 1>Right then, Yeah, we're gonna be right by Georgia Tech,

0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 1>which we'll actually get into some Georgia Tech I think

0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:19.280
<v Speaker 1>here momentarily in that area of Atlanta downtown ish we

0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:20.720
<v Speaker 1>will figure out a place to watch the game. There

0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:23.760
<v Speaker 1>are bars and restaurants and I'm sure TVs around Terminal

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:28.120
<v Speaker 1>West soliverblelive dot com. Once again, I think I'm most concerned.

0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm not concerned about putting on an excellent show because

0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:32.959
<v Speaker 1>that's what we do soliverblelive dot Com. And I'm not

0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:36.160
<v Speaker 1>concerned about inducting the things that we are inducting from

0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:38.840
<v Speaker 1>the twenty twenty two season into our Hall of Fame

0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:42.640
<v Speaker 1>soliverblelive dot Com. What I'm most worried about is because

0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:46.560
<v Speaker 1>we are so busy. We're recording stuff before the show.

0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:49.080
<v Speaker 1>We are trying to hustle and get back to our

0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:53.480
<v Speaker 1>homes on Saturday morning. My big concern is anytime I

0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:56.880
<v Speaker 1>go to a great food city, is allotting the needed time, Like,

0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.200
<v Speaker 1>oh man, I got to hit this like cheese steak

0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 1>place that Tray Herbie recommend it. I gonna hit can kids.

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 1>The spot can't confirm. That's my concern. So I'm like,

0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:09.480
<v Speaker 1>I have my yarn and my my map in front

0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:10.560
<v Speaker 1>of me. I'm like, all right, how do we get

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:12.920
<v Speaker 1>from the hotel to this lunch? Should we do two brunches?

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Should we do an early dinner and a late dinner.

0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:18.200
<v Speaker 1>That's where my concern is because we're prepped and readysolivrablelive

0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:20.280
<v Speaker 1>dot com for the live show Friday night at six

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:24.039

<v Speaker 1>be a ton of fun.

0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:27.479
<v Speaker 2>We hope to see everybody out there, and as you mentioned, yeah,

<v Speaker 2>from Atlanta. We're gonna have a bit of a different setup.

0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:40.120
<v Speaker 2>We're also going to feature an interview that we are

0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:43.440
<v Speaker 2>doing with the very funny Bert Kreischer. Oh Man may

<v Speaker 2>have heard of Bert. He's a world famous comedian. He's

0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:50.120
<v Speaker 2>also a big time Florida State football fan. We have

0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:51.640
<v Speaker 2>wanted to get Bert on the show for a good

0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:54.680
<v Speaker 2>long time. Our good friends over at Spotify have kindly

<v Speaker 1>The Machine. He By the way, Bert is who Van

0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Wilder is based as correct?

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:19.599
<v Speaker 3>That's correct.

0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:22.440
<v Speaker 2>I love that freaking movie. So also does a very

0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:25.440
<v Speaker 2>funny podcast with Tom Segura. Two Bears, One Cave. We're

0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:27.000
<v Speaker 2>very excited to finally get Burt on the show.

0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:28.080
<v Speaker 3>I think it'll be a whole time.

0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Can't wait.

0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:37.599
<v Speaker 2>Shall we just dive in Lat's I gotta save the

0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:39.760
<v Speaker 2>pipes for the For the week ahead, we got a

0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:43.120
<v Speaker 2>lot going on your updated college football playoff rankings. No

0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:47.479
<v Speaker 2>big surprise. Dan one through four is Georgia, Michigan, TCU,

0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:50.799
<v Speaker 2>and USC now checking in. All four of those teams

0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:54.080
<v Speaker 2>will be discussed here momentarily, all four of those teams.

0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.640
<v Speaker 2>In essence, you win. You're into the college football Playoff

0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:01.480
<v Speaker 2>nipping at their heels as number five Ohio State. There

0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:04.920
<v Speaker 2>is probably still a path for Ohio State, though Boomsheck

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:08.240
<v Speaker 2>a lack of Corgan didn't really specify what that would

0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:10.719
<v Speaker 2>look like, given the fact that Ohio State does not

0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:14.719
<v Speaker 2>play any further games here in the twenty twenty two

0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:16.280
<v Speaker 2>college football regular season.

0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:17.520
<v Speaker 3>We've also got.

0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Alabama at number six. It seems as if Alabama is

0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:23.599
<v Speaker 2>out of this thing. We've learned maybe not to count

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.680
<v Speaker 2>Bama out too much, but at ten and two, number six,

0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:29.159
<v Speaker 2>not a game in front of them to be had.

0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:31.480
<v Speaker 2>It would seem as if Bama is out of at

0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:33.920
<v Speaker 2>Tennessee is at seven, Penn State is crept all the

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:37.080
<v Speaker 2>way up to number eight, Clemson still in the top

0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:41.320
<v Speaker 2>ten at number nine, and Kansas State checking in at

0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:43.440
<v Speaker 2>number ten. We didn't have to spend a whole lot

0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:45.160
<v Speaker 2>of time on this. I know we've got news about

0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:49.200
<v Speaker 2>coaches and transfer portals and the works, But any quick

0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:52.880
<v Speaker 2>thoughts on what you see here anything surprise you.

0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.520
<v Speaker 1>No, it's the illusion that I made a little bit early.

0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:59.800
<v Speaker 1>That would be all not ill that, why is Georgia

0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:02.520
<v Speaker 1>play this game? Like should Georgia just send out a

0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:04.920
<v Speaker 1>bunch of walk ons and be like, yeah, we're gonna

0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:07.000
<v Speaker 1>force your hand leave us out of the playoff after

0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.000
<v Speaker 1>we lose to LSU fifty eight to three with a

0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:13.520
<v Speaker 1>bunch of walk ons. I'm a big believer now that

0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:18.000
<v Speaker 1>you just can't let Ohio State into this, even if

0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:21.520
<v Speaker 1>TC loses, even if USC loses. At this point, USC

0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:23.920
<v Speaker 1>was impressive enough against the best defense that they played

0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:28.000
<v Speaker 1>all season long last week that you're rewarding Ohio State

0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:31.880
<v Speaker 1>for losing comfortably with their big opportunity to get into

0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:34.400
<v Speaker 1>the Big Ten championship game. And I know championship games

0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:38.360
<v Speaker 1>are just sort of a construction with no real points

0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:41.800
<v Speaker 1>see social and social construct that everybody just goes along

0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:46.000
<v Speaker 1>with competitive construct. Yeah, I don't see why we can't

0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:49.760
<v Speaker 1>just have this specific playoff that was announced last night.

0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:52.280
<v Speaker 1>In terms of the top four, it seems totally good

0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:52.480
<v Speaker 1>to me.

0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:54.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, I'd be very curious to see if this

0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:56.200
<v Speaker 2>is the way it shakes out. But I tend to

0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:59.560
<v Speaker 2>agree with you. It's one of the points of contention

0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:03.640
<v Speaker 2>as we go to twelve with this thing, especially this season,

0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:06.280
<v Speaker 2>I think it kind of has has bared itself out

0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:09.480
<v Speaker 2>an interesting way where if not these four, then then

0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:10.280
<v Speaker 2>which four?

0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Right?

0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:13.280
<v Speaker 2>Which other teams do you want to add to this

0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:16.240
<v Speaker 2>without feeling like too much of a retread. So again,

0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:19.400
<v Speaker 2>that's your top four. We'll see how things materialize over

0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:21.680
<v Speaker 2>the course of the weekend. But as it stands, again,

0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:26.800
<v Speaker 2>we've got Georgia, Michigan, TCU, and now USC. On the

0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:31.240
<v Speaker 2>coaching side, you mentioned Georgia Tech, they mentioned Brent Key,

0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:33.840
<v Speaker 2>So there had been reports about Lillly Fritz early on.

0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:37.559
<v Speaker 2>We had speculated about names like Deon Sanders or Jamie Chadwell.

0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:40.080
<v Speaker 2>They had decided that they're going to take the interim

0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:44.920
<v Speaker 2>label off of Brent Key. Brent Key notably took over

0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:48.280
<v Speaker 2>when Jeff Collins was relieved of command after a one

0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:52.319
<v Speaker 2>to three start. Tech has been better since he took over.

0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:55.319
<v Speaker 2>They went four and four. In many ways, this is

0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:57.440
<v Speaker 2>a big deal, not just for Georgia Tech, but also

0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:00.200
<v Speaker 2>for Brent Kee, who was a former team capt in

0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:03.680
<v Speaker 2>it was an All acc offensive lineman in his time

0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:07.160
<v Speaker 2>at Tech from nineteen ninety seven through the year two thousands,

0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:10.439
<v Speaker 2>So getting a big shot here to stay on and

0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:11.520
<v Speaker 2>coach the ramblin reck.

0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:17.200
<v Speaker 1>He will be, to me a very good hire and

0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:20.800
<v Speaker 1>it'll be looked at, it'll be smiled down upon, just

0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:23.559
<v Speaker 1>because it's not the sexy one. It feels like the

0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:25.960
<v Speaker 1>right one. It feels like when you have the familiarity

0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:29.319
<v Speaker 1>with players. I always like offensive lineman, former offensive linemen

0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:32.160
<v Speaker 1>and offensive line coaches with that background coming in because

0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:36.080
<v Speaker 1>it's a really nice mix of intellect and physicality. The

0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.800
<v Speaker 1>offensive line coaches, I feel like, you know, I think

0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:40.559
<v Speaker 1>maryle christ Ball will improve, but I think he did

0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:43.439
<v Speaker 1>a decent job at Oregon. Obviously, Sam Pittman had the

0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:46.760
<v Speaker 1>immediate success that he's had. Kirk Ference has been up

0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:49.600
<v Speaker 1>and down. But I think all things being equal, if

0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:52.000
<v Speaker 1>you were to give me former position coaches offensive line

0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:55.120
<v Speaker 1>of former offensive line coach familiar with the program, I

0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:58.720
<v Speaker 1>think is a very strong direction to go to. No.

0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.320
<v Speaker 1>I think it's smart. Think he's a believer in Georgia Tech.

0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:04.560
<v Speaker 1>He's not going to be a mercenary who's going to say, I,

0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:06.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, was good for two or three years, What's

0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:08.040
<v Speaker 1>what's the next job I can get. I think he's

0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:12.000
<v Speaker 1>in it for the long haul. And I like continuity

0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:13.719
<v Speaker 1>a lot. You look around the sport and a lot

0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:17.600
<v Speaker 1>of very successful teams higher from within, and there's a

0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:20.120
<v Speaker 1>pretty strong reason why if the right guy is already

0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:22.000
<v Speaker 1>on staff. And so I'm sure they did their due

0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:25.120
<v Speaker 1>diligence with a number of options, and they said Brent

0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:26.760
<v Speaker 1>Key just makes the most sense. We're not trying to

0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:28.839
<v Speaker 1>win a press conference, we're not trying to win Twitter

0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:32.080
<v Speaker 1>or anything like that, and so I think I'm great

0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:34.319
<v Speaker 1>with it. He has backgrounds at you know, he was

0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:36.880
<v Speaker 1>at UCF forever and has been at Georgia Tech. I

0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:39.000
<v Speaker 1>think he turned down the UAB job way back when,

0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:43.599
<v Speaker 1>and he has experienced in major major programs at Alabama

0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:47.560
<v Speaker 1>as their offensive line coach, so from the outside looking in,

0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:49.600
<v Speaker 1>especially with what he did as the interim coach, he

0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:51.880
<v Speaker 1>seems to check more boxes than he doesn't.

0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:55.800
<v Speaker 2>No, I think that's absolutely true. I know when this

0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:57.800
<v Speaker 2>news came out, there were many folks in the Georgia

0:10:57.880 --> 0:10:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Tech world that were that were happy to see it,

0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:03.800
<v Speaker 2>to get that kind of continuity, because he has been very,

0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:06.640
<v Speaker 2>very good since taking over Tech. Finishing the year with

0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.040
<v Speaker 2>five wins is not a bad thing at all considering

0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:11.880
<v Speaker 2>where we thought this team might be at the start

0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:14.160
<v Speaker 2>of the year, So good for him. We've also got

0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:15.800
<v Speaker 2>is it Trent Dilfer to UAP.

0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:24.079
<v Speaker 1>Trent Dilfer to UAB. Okay, yeah, okay, okay, why I

0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:29.160
<v Speaker 1>only couldn't tell you. He's a famous guy who's coached

0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:32.080
<v Speaker 1>high school for three years and at one point was

0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:37.120
<v Speaker 1>on ESPN and hasn't been for some time, and seems

0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:42.080
<v Speaker 1>like a wild card of a personality without any working

0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.520
<v Speaker 1>experience as a college football coach. And we've seen other

0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:46.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, Todd Dodge at North Texas. Somebody pointed out

0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:49.920
<v Speaker 1>to us on Twitter the worst coach in North Texas history,

0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:52.240
<v Speaker 1>by the way, six and thirty seven was his overall

0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:57.040
<v Speaker 1>record there. I don't. I don't. It's one of those

0:11:57.080 --> 0:11:59.440
<v Speaker 1>things where and it's not unique to college football coaching

0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:03.199
<v Speaker 1>as an industry, where it's just like why grind, Why improve?

0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Why network and form all sorts of connections and work

0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:12.840
<v Speaker 1>your way through the industry. When Trent Dilfer is hired

0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:16.720
<v Speaker 1>at a very successful UAB program, and so that's that's

0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:20.920
<v Speaker 1>the disheartening thing that you're just like, man was did

0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:24.320
<v Speaker 1>they interview four hundred and forty seven people before settling

0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:28.199
<v Speaker 1>on Trent Dilfer? And I guess there's always the opportunity,

0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:30.080
<v Speaker 1>there's always the possibility that it works out.

0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:33.640
<v Speaker 2>But I mean, he's been involved with Elite eleven. I mean,

0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:36.800
<v Speaker 2>he's been fairly prominent with respect to you know, some

0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:40.280
<v Speaker 2>of the some of the camp circuits I know, and

0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:42.800
<v Speaker 2>it obviously has made a name for himself as somebody

0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:46.360
<v Speaker 2>who can recruit and coach quarterbacks and that type of thing.

0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:47.920
<v Speaker 3>So at least in that vein.

0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Who can recruit, how do we know he can recruit?

0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:51.800
<v Speaker 3>Maybe recruits the wrong word.

0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:55.600
<v Speaker 2>He's worked with prominent recruits on the coaching side, so

0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:58.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, he's at least been around some of the better,

0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:02.760
<v Speaker 2>more elite athletes that have found their way into college football.

0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:06.199
<v Speaker 2>But in terms of running a program, Yeah, that's that's

0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:07.440
<v Speaker 2>a different kind of recruiting.

0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's it's one of those things where like does

0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:13.200
<v Speaker 1>u AB have an insurance policy out against making a

0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:17.280
<v Speaker 1>bowl game? Like are they betting against Rachel Phelps style? Right?

0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Like that that's the concern for me where it's just like,

0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:24.160
<v Speaker 1>this is it's an unserious hire when especially when you

0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:25.800
<v Speaker 1>look around the sport and you look like, okay, you

0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:27.959
<v Speaker 1>don't want to spend a ton of money. You look

0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:30.560
<v Speaker 1>at like D two coaches, you look at FCS coaches,

0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:33.960
<v Speaker 1>you look at whatever, you know, coordinators at certain places

0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:37.199
<v Speaker 1>that are just killing it. Right, even in the state

0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:41.680
<v Speaker 1>in Troy, it's just and he's not even if you

0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:43.560
<v Speaker 1>go back to like Gus Malson, and Gus Malson came

0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:45.840
<v Speaker 1>in as an offensive coordinator, not a head coach, but

0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:48.920
<v Speaker 1>he came in so connected within that state, right he

0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.520
<v Speaker 1>was at Springdale and you know the Mitch Mustanine thing

0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:53.520
<v Speaker 1>in the Springdale mafia where you're just like oh my god,

0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:55.880
<v Speaker 1>he is a name within this state, within this It

0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:58.240
<v Speaker 1>didn't work out. It We went terribly at Arkansas and

0:13:58.240 --> 0:13:59.760
<v Speaker 1>he needed to go to Tulsa for a few years

0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:03.439
<v Speaker 1>before in the Arkansas state gig. But like on the surface,

0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:04.720
<v Speaker 1>it's just like oh man.

0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:09.679
<v Speaker 2>Splash, all right, all right, enough about Trent Dilferd. Will

0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:13.800
<v Speaker 2>see how that goes in I guess less prominent coaching news.

0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:18.880
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky fired Rich scan Guerrello after one season. Notably, he

0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:22.320
<v Speaker 2>stepped in for Liam Cohen. Of course, was a revelation

0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:24.680
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty one he left to go to the Rams.

0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:29.000
<v Speaker 2>They brought in Scangerello. He is gone. Northwestern has fired

0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:33.320
<v Speaker 2>Jim O'Neill and two other assistants following their just one

0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:36.760
<v Speaker 2>and eleven disaster season. It is worth noting Dan that

0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:41.040
<v Speaker 2>the defense was the best part of Northwestern this season,

0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:44.160
<v Speaker 2>and they were ranked seventy second nationally per the sp Plus.

0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:47.360
<v Speaker 2>So I know one of the two assistants that was

0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:51.400
<v Speaker 2>relieved of command was a wide receivers coach. They clearly

0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:53.640
<v Speaker 2>have much more work to do on the offensive side

0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.920
<v Speaker 2>of the ball. I eagerly await what Pat Fitzgerald will

0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:59.640
<v Speaker 2>do to hopefully amend that side of things he's.

0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Been working on for about fourteen years. See Project Big.

0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:05.320
<v Speaker 1>It's a it's a big fixer upper. Dan. Yeah, there's

0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:07.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's the three game stretch of Clayton Thorson

0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:12.680
<v Speaker 1>here and Dan Person there and Trevor Simeon for like

0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:17.800
<v Speaker 1>four and a half like okay, okay, any other coaching news.

0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:20.040
<v Speaker 2>That's all I have the coaching show. That's all having

0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:21.840
<v Speaker 2>the coaching front. I do have transfer portal news. Who

0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:24.280
<v Speaker 2>want to get into that, I would love to. We

0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:26.880
<v Speaker 2>got a bunch of names here, some that have been confirmed,

0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:30.200
<v Speaker 2>others that have been reported. There is a zero percent

0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:32.160
<v Speaker 2>chance I'm going to get all of these, So let

0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:33.880
<v Speaker 2>me just list them off as best I can, and

0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:36.120
<v Speaker 2>you can jump in and tell me if there's anyone

0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.920
<v Speaker 2>else of note. On the quarterback side, where of course

0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:42.440
<v Speaker 2>I have trained most of my attention notre name again

0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:45.840
<v Speaker 2>open for business. We've got Hudson Card from Texas, Mali

0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:47.720
<v Speaker 2>Hornsby from Arkansas, Connor.

0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Basil act back in the portal, Yea from.

0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:54.320
<v Speaker 2>Indiana, Luke Altmeyer from Old Miss. The Padilla flotilla, Yeah,

0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:58.560
<v Speaker 2>trying to escape from Iowa City in the portal, Cade

0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:02.400
<v Speaker 2>McNamara whom we mentioned before for playoff quarterback playoff quarterback,

0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:06.720
<v Speaker 2>Paul Tyson leaving ASU, Jeff Simms this I think we

0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:10.080
<v Speaker 2>talked about Jeff Simms before, but Jeff Simms leaving Georgia Tech.

0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:14.040
<v Speaker 2>Davis Brent an interesting name from Tulsa quarterback also in

0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:17.000
<v Speaker 2>the portal, Jack Tuttle and Hank Bachmeyer have been there

0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:19.600
<v Speaker 2>for a while, but I just saw their names as

0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:21.640
<v Speaker 2>I was going through and figured out list them anyway.

0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:24.840
<v Speaker 2>On the running back side, L. J. Johnston from A

0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:28.800
<v Speaker 2>and M is an interesting name. Trevi and Cooley from Louisville,

0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:32.480
<v Speaker 2>Arlen Harris Junior from Stanford and Trey Sanders again has

0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:34.480
<v Speaker 2>been in the portal for a bit, but Tray Sanders

0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:36.840
<v Speaker 2>leaving Alabama could make an impact elsewhere.

0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:37.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:40.280
<v Speaker 2>On the wide receiver side, some names theo OEZ. I

0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:42.360
<v Speaker 2>haven't seen his name officially in the portal, but it

0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:45.520
<v Speaker 2>seems as if he's headed there from Oklahoma. Your boy

0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Dante Thornton from Oregon in the portal Dominic love it

0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:54.320
<v Speaker 2>from Missoo and two names here again just we always

0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:58.200
<v Speaker 2>try to keep our radar up for names of guys

0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:01.440
<v Speaker 2>from group of five or f CS programs that are

0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:04.520
<v Speaker 2>looking to go elsewhere. Grant Deboe's is a name from

0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:07.360
<v Speaker 2>Charlotte who I think could make an impact.

0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:08.080
<v Speaker 3>And MJ.

0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Wright.

0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:11.960
<v Speaker 2>He's not the Greek freak from Fordham, but he is

0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:15.840
<v Speaker 2>from Fordham, yes, and looking to spread his wings elsewhere.

0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:17.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure there are names I missed. I don't know

0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:19.480
<v Speaker 2>if any jump out to you, but those are at

0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:21.960
<v Speaker 2>least a sampling of what's out there in the portal

0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:22.520
<v Speaker 2>at the moment.

0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:26.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I saw Penn had an edge rusher who seemed

0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:29.119
<v Speaker 1>to be somewhat coveted by bigger programs, and he committed

0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:31.400
<v Speaker 1>to UCLA. I want to say his first name is Jake.

0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:35.200
<v Speaker 1>I apologize for not learning IVY League transfer as yet.

0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:37.800
<v Speaker 1>They're for full names. I'm almost positive it's Jake.

0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:40.240
<v Speaker 2>Sure, I'm not one hundred per He's like Pele, he

0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:41.480
<v Speaker 2>doesn't need a last name.

0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:45.040
<v Speaker 1>I think both Dominic Lovett and Dante Thornton are interesting

0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:49.920
<v Speaker 1>names at receiver. Thornton actually came on pretty strong near

0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:51.920
<v Speaker 1>the end of this year when Chase Coda got hurt

0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:53.920
<v Speaker 1>for Orion. He's a big body, He's from the East Coast.

0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:56.159
<v Speaker 1>He's from I think the Baltimore area and so he

0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:58.359
<v Speaker 1>could come in and be like the guy for a

0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:02.160
<v Speaker 1>good school to me. Also lost Byron Cardwell, who started

0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:03.960
<v Speaker 1>at running back near the end of the twenty twenty

0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:07.600
<v Speaker 1>one season when CJ. Verdell went down and basically didn't

0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:10.000
<v Speaker 1>play this year at all, and Oregon had the number

0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:13.359
<v Speaker 1>one rushing attack in the country. So not saying he's bad,

0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:15.600
<v Speaker 1>but for whatever reason, fell out of favor with the

0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Oregon coaches. Otherwise, it's going to be fascinating, especially at quarterback.

0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Right Hudson card appears to be the biggest name. He

0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:26.399
<v Speaker 1>and Kate McNamara, depending on where they land, seem like

0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:29.159
<v Speaker 1>they'll have the biggest impact. There's already and I'm not

0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:32.600
<v Speaker 1>going to give fuel to the rumors, but there's already

0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:36.720
<v Speaker 1>rumors about some pretty big name receivers ending up at

0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:43.880
<v Speaker 1>some pretty big name destinations for receivers. And so it's

0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:47.760
<v Speaker 1>the new normal. And you can either yell and kick

0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:49.560
<v Speaker 1>and scream about it, or you can say, all right,

0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:52.520
<v Speaker 1>let's figure all it all out for next year, and

0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:56.240
<v Speaker 1>once everybody's landed, let's see who really added to their

0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:58.919
<v Speaker 1>roster and who seems to be in a kind of

0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:01.600
<v Speaker 1>disastrous place because as they're depleted. So I expect a

0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:05.680
<v Speaker 1>lot of big teams, especially big teams who are finishing

0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:09.480
<v Speaker 1>the first year of a new coach, so LSU, Florida,

0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:14.159
<v Speaker 1>Notre Dame, Miami, Oregon, Oklahoma, USC, a lot of movement.

0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:16.280
<v Speaker 1>I just expect a lot because there's gonna be a

0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:17.840
<v Speaker 1>lot of guys who felt like they were going to

0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:20.840
<v Speaker 1>contribute more than they had under the previous guy, so

0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:23.280
<v Speaker 1>they gave the new guy a chance and then perhaps

0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:25.520
<v Speaker 1>didn't see the field as much as they they wanted to,

0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:27.119
<v Speaker 1>and they're like, all right, I gave him a chance.

0:19:27.440 --> 0:19:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Portal time, it's going to be a whirlwind.

0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:32.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think it'll be very intense. By the way,

0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:36.280
<v Speaker 2>folks head on a swivel out there, the new age

0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:40.560
<v Speaker 2>of Twitter has made it very easy to retweet potential

0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:44.200
<v Speaker 2>transfers that are not actually transferring. I've seen a couple

0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:47.840
<v Speaker 2>already and I almost fell for it myself. Head on

0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:50.119
<v Speaker 2>a swivel, Head on a swivel. Make sure you know

0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:50.920
<v Speaker 2>the source.

0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:51.040
<v Speaker 1>All right.

0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:53.679
<v Speaker 2>We will keep you posted as best we can on

0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:56.680
<v Speaker 2>the coaching side, on the transfer portal side, for sure,

0:19:56.800 --> 0:19:59.720
<v Speaker 2>A lot more to come in both of those worlds.

0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:03.280
<v Speaker 2>Don't really have a Saturday nickname dan Championship Week, right,

0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:05.560
<v Speaker 2>we don't need a nick correct it's Championship week and

0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:10.000
<v Speaker 2>it's US Netherlands. Are they playing USA Netherlands. Yeah, I'll

0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:12.480
<v Speaker 2>be back in time for the ten a m.

0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:14.159
<v Speaker 3>Game. I can give a preview at the end of

0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:16.320
<v Speaker 3>this if you want at the end.

0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:19.399
<v Speaker 1>At the end, I'm prepared to big, big day of

0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:29.840
<v Speaker 1>sporting across the United States. Daunt of the week. So

0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:34.360
<v Speaker 1>typically what we do op sausage fingers McGee.

0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:36.160
<v Speaker 3>The second time that happened, I don't know what's wrong

0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:36.680
<v Speaker 3>with my board.

0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:40.800
<v Speaker 2>Typically what we do is we push the Friday game

0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:43.600
<v Speaker 2>till the very end, so that if you're listening to

0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:45.520
<v Speaker 2>this a little bit after the fact, it's not going

0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:47.439
<v Speaker 2>to go stale. But we're just going to do it

0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:51.720
<v Speaker 2>in chronological order today. Yeah, if that's cool with you. Again,

0:20:51.760 --> 0:20:55.120
<v Speaker 2>we will be in Atlanta watching this game or Atlanta

0:20:55.200 --> 0:21:00.119
<v Speaker 2>excuse me, game at some place near Georgia Tech. I

0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:01.600
<v Speaker 2>will leave that up to you to figure out where

0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:03.280
<v Speaker 2>the best place is for tenders with tie in a

0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:07.280
<v Speaker 2>PAC twelve Championship watch party. This game is eight pm

0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:11.560
<v Speaker 2>on Fox. It is in Allegiance Stadium in Vegas, featuring

0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:15.000
<v Speaker 2>the nine to three Utah Utes the eleven to one

0:21:15.480 --> 0:21:19.840
<v Speaker 2>USC Trojans, USC favored by three. Bear in mind that

0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:23.720
<v Speaker 2>these teams played back in Week seven in Utah and

0:21:23.800 --> 0:21:26.760
<v Speaker 2>it was about as evenly matched a game as we've

0:21:26.800 --> 0:21:29.160
<v Speaker 2>seen all year. That was the one in which Cam

0:21:29.280 --> 0:21:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Rising had a really big game through the air and

0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:34.160
<v Speaker 2>on the ground. He ran a touchdown in with about

0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:37.800
<v Speaker 2>forty eight seconds left. Dan and then Kyle Whittingham went

0:21:37.880 --> 0:21:41.840
<v Speaker 2>for two. Love it, love it, the anti Brian Harrison move,

0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:46.120
<v Speaker 2>went for two. They got it. Utah won that game

0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:48.000
<v Speaker 2>by a forty three to forty two score. Was a

0:21:48.000 --> 0:21:52.320
<v Speaker 2>great game, a great game USC's only lost, so this

0:21:52.359 --> 0:21:57.040
<v Speaker 2>is an opportunity for them to avenge that big old

0:21:57.040 --> 0:22:01.040
<v Speaker 2>crooked one in the win loss column. I'm not going

0:22:01.119 --> 0:22:04.040
<v Speaker 2>to act like I found anything, like I found a

0:22:04.080 --> 0:22:07.040
<v Speaker 2>stat like I found an edge or something that gives

0:22:07.040 --> 0:22:10.600
<v Speaker 2>one team a significant advantage over the other. I feel

0:22:10.600 --> 0:22:12.120
<v Speaker 2>like we have a pretty good sense for who these

0:22:12.119 --> 0:22:15.560
<v Speaker 2>teams are at this point. It feels a lot to me,

0:22:15.640 --> 0:22:18.520
<v Speaker 2>and we say it often. I'm not just punting on

0:22:18.560 --> 0:22:20.480
<v Speaker 2>the preview here when I say this, but it truly

0:22:20.480 --> 0:22:22.040
<v Speaker 2>feels like, whoever has the ball ass is going to

0:22:22.080 --> 0:22:22.520
<v Speaker 2>win this thing?

0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Do you think so?

0:22:23.880 --> 0:22:24.800
<v Speaker 3>I do? I do?

0:22:25.200 --> 0:22:27.040
<v Speaker 2>It feels to me like it's that kind of game.

0:22:27.480 --> 0:22:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Both teams have pretty good offenses. Obviously USC's is a

0:22:30.520 --> 0:22:33.240
<v Speaker 2>little better. Utah probably has a bit of an advantage

0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:35.480
<v Speaker 2>in the defense department, but it's not like we're dealing

0:22:35.520 --> 0:22:38.560
<v Speaker 2>with two shutdown defenses here. I think both will continue

0:22:38.600 --> 0:22:40.840
<v Speaker 2>to move the ball at will on the other and

0:22:40.960 --> 0:22:43.040
<v Speaker 2>it does come down to probably a few factors which

0:22:43.080 --> 0:22:45.159
<v Speaker 2>maybe I can discuss here and why I'm going to

0:22:45.200 --> 0:22:49.280
<v Speaker 2>go USC thirty eight thirty five agreed, disagree on that

0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:51.480
<v Speaker 2>sentiment that whoever as the ball ass wins?

0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Disagree?

0:22:52.720 --> 0:22:54.880
<v Speaker 3>Okay, why I like USC here?

0:22:55.160 --> 0:22:58.240
<v Speaker 1>And this is where we get into the part of

0:22:58.280 --> 0:23:02.400
<v Speaker 1>the year where we describe Winter one people that transcend

0:23:02.680 --> 0:23:06.800
<v Speaker 1>just being weapons during the regular season and become problems,

0:23:06.880 --> 0:23:09.120
<v Speaker 1>especially for defenses. But I think a winter wonder could

0:23:09.119 --> 0:23:10.520
<v Speaker 1>be an edg rusher or something like that. And the

0:23:10.560 --> 0:23:12.879
<v Speaker 1>way that Aiden Hutchinson right when the Blights got brightest

0:23:12.920 --> 0:23:16.720
<v Speaker 1>last year, Aiden Hutchinson really shined that to me is

0:23:16.720 --> 0:23:19.960
<v Speaker 1>the problem with Utah is what we saw from USC

0:23:20.119 --> 0:23:23.280
<v Speaker 1>last week against Notre Dame, a team all too dependent

0:23:23.440 --> 0:23:27.359
<v Speaker 1>on a tight end. USC absorbed a lot from Michael Mayor.

0:23:27.400 --> 0:23:30.200
<v Speaker 1>He made plays. He didn't have two hundred and seventy

0:23:30.200 --> 0:23:33.119
<v Speaker 1>three yards receiving or whatever it is that Dalton Kincaid

0:23:33.200 --> 0:23:35.800
<v Speaker 1>did in that first matchup. Who's excellent, full on excellent

0:23:36.040 --> 0:23:38.159
<v Speaker 1>on the level of Michael Mayer in terms of national

0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:40.879
<v Speaker 1>tight ends. He is in any conversation. The problem to

0:23:40.920 --> 0:23:45.200
<v Speaker 1>me is games are one preventing and generating explosive plays,

0:23:45.680 --> 0:23:49.480
<v Speaker 1>and Utah has played a number of terrible defenses and

0:23:49.600 --> 0:23:51.679
<v Speaker 1>a below average one in Oregon to finish out the

0:23:51.680 --> 0:23:55.119
<v Speaker 1>back half of the season. And so to me, this

0:23:55.280 --> 0:23:58.120
<v Speaker 1>is when you have Jordan Addison and Mario Williams now

0:23:58.240 --> 0:24:00.240
<v Speaker 1>Travis Dye had a good game against Utah, he's for

0:24:00.280 --> 0:24:01.800
<v Speaker 1>the year. I think he blew out his knee and

0:24:01.840 --> 0:24:06.840
<v Speaker 1>that's a change. But at a certain point, if Utah

0:24:06.960 --> 0:24:10.400
<v Speaker 1>can't go Haymaker for Haymaker with USC, which I don't

0:24:10.400 --> 0:24:13.280
<v Speaker 1>think they can do this week, I think they did

0:24:13.280 --> 0:24:15.200
<v Speaker 1>a great job doing it before Tavian Thomas out for

0:24:15.240 --> 0:24:17.119
<v Speaker 1>the year, has already declared for the NFL Draft. I

0:24:17.160 --> 0:24:20.200
<v Speaker 1>believe so Utah shorthanded in the backfield. I think Michael

0:24:20.200 --> 0:24:22.880
<v Speaker 1>Bernard is interesting, but he's not somebody who is going

0:24:22.920 --> 0:24:26.000
<v Speaker 1>to pace a win to me for Utah in this matchup.

0:24:26.480 --> 0:24:29.360
<v Speaker 1>So I think Utah will succeed somewhat on defense. They're

0:24:29.400 --> 0:24:31.080
<v Speaker 1>down their best edge rusher, he's out for the year

0:24:31.160 --> 0:24:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Van Fillinger. So I think Utah is a good team,

0:24:35.000 --> 0:24:38.040
<v Speaker 1>but I think this is a when push comes to

0:24:38.119 --> 0:24:41.399
<v Speaker 1>shove moment and USC wins this game by ten to

0:24:41.440 --> 0:24:42.200
<v Speaker 1>thirteen points.

0:24:42.440 --> 0:24:45.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think you stole a little bit of my

0:24:45.080 --> 0:24:47.280
<v Speaker 2>thunder there, but I'm sorry, No, it's okay.

0:24:47.320 --> 0:24:48.159
<v Speaker 1>I agree with you.

0:24:48.200 --> 0:24:50.159
<v Speaker 2>It's one of the two reasons of picking USC. You

0:24:50.200 --> 0:24:54.000
<v Speaker 2>mentioned the big plays, and USC's ability to create him

0:24:54.760 --> 0:24:57.320
<v Speaker 2>is one of those things that favors the Trojans by

0:24:57.320 --> 0:24:58.240
<v Speaker 2>a pretty wide margin.

0:24:58.720 --> 0:24:59.240
<v Speaker 1>In this game.

0:24:59.240 --> 0:25:02.399
<v Speaker 2>They're much much, much more consistent at creating those chunk plays,

0:25:02.840 --> 0:25:05.359
<v Speaker 2>and I have to believe that works to their advantage,

0:25:05.480 --> 0:25:07.960
<v Speaker 2>even though they're really bad at giving them up right,

0:25:08.560 --> 0:25:10.680
<v Speaker 2>they're just so good at creating them. On offense, They've

0:25:10.760 --> 0:25:12.600
<v Speaker 2>got so many pieces, so many ways that they can

0:25:12.600 --> 0:25:14.879
<v Speaker 2>beat you. It's hard for me to believe that in

0:25:14.920 --> 0:25:16.560
<v Speaker 2>a big spot that if you want to say the

0:25:16.560 --> 0:25:17.320
<v Speaker 2>Winter wonder thing.

0:25:17.400 --> 0:25:18.080
<v Speaker 3>Go right ahead.

0:25:18.480 --> 0:25:20.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I have a hard time believing that isn't something

0:25:20.640 --> 0:25:23.520
<v Speaker 2>that works to their advantage in this game second time through.

0:25:24.160 --> 0:25:27.439
<v Speaker 2>So that's the first reason. The second is, you know,

0:25:27.480 --> 0:25:30.480
<v Speaker 2>we come back to Caleb Williams a lot. I feel

0:25:30.520 --> 0:25:32.720
<v Speaker 2>like he went next level with Notre Dame. In the

0:25:32.760 --> 0:25:35.439
<v Speaker 2>game that we saw against Notre Dame this year, we

0:25:35.480 --> 0:25:39.080
<v Speaker 2>saw a different side of him against a better defense

0:25:39.600 --> 0:25:42.480
<v Speaker 2>with this offense than we had all season. Maybe I'm

0:25:42.520 --> 0:25:45.080
<v Speaker 2>biased because it was against Notre Dame, but he's just

0:25:45.200 --> 0:25:48.880
<v Speaker 2>he's different, he feels different. Three eighty one and five

0:25:48.960 --> 0:25:52.040
<v Speaker 2>touchdowns in the first matchup between these two, also fifty

0:25:52.080 --> 0:25:52.880
<v Speaker 2>seven yards.

0:25:53.200 --> 0:25:55.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he was awesome. He was really good, really good

0:25:55.800 --> 0:25:56.639
<v Speaker 1>in that first game.

0:25:57.119 --> 0:26:00.920
<v Speaker 2>And if if it comes down to it, push comes

0:26:00.960 --> 0:26:04.000
<v Speaker 2>to shove, I give Caleb Williams the nod here in

0:26:04.040 --> 0:26:06.560
<v Speaker 2>that USC offense the nod in a game that I

0:26:06.560 --> 0:26:09.080
<v Speaker 2>think will be high scoring. So I think it's close.

0:26:09.119 --> 0:26:11.280
<v Speaker 2>I think these teams are very eavily matched, but I

0:26:11.320 --> 0:26:13.760
<v Speaker 2>will go with our trusted excitable score of thirty eight

0:26:13.760 --> 0:26:15.320
<v Speaker 2>to thirty five in favor of USC.

0:26:16.119 --> 0:26:18.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. The idea is, if you are able to hold

0:26:18.800 --> 0:26:22.800
<v Speaker 1>Dalton Kinkaid to ninety three yards and some incredible catches,

0:26:22.840 --> 0:26:26.320
<v Speaker 1>maybe two touchdown catches and ninety three yards, it's still

0:26:26.320 --> 0:26:28.800
<v Speaker 1>not enough to get to forty. Right, Like, there's a

0:26:28.800 --> 0:26:32.800
<v Speaker 1>certain basic amount of arithmetic involved here that I don't

0:26:32.840 --> 0:26:34.560
<v Speaker 1>think I trust Utah in this spot.

0:26:34.680 --> 0:26:34.920
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:26:35.400 --> 0:26:38.760
<v Speaker 1>I watched them completely demolish Oregon in this spot last year.

0:26:39.560 --> 0:26:41.280
<v Speaker 1>I think that was a different team. I think that

0:26:41.320 --> 0:26:43.959
<v Speaker 1>was a different team, especially on defense with what they lost,

0:26:44.320 --> 0:26:48.560
<v Speaker 1>especially upfront. It just has not been the typical Utah

0:26:48.600 --> 0:26:52.080
<v Speaker 1>defense that we've seen that helps its own offense to

0:26:52.200 --> 0:26:54.920
<v Speaker 1>wear down teams on the ground. And Cam Rising scrambling

0:26:54.920 --> 0:26:57.240
<v Speaker 1>for seven on third and six, he will do that.

0:26:57.520 --> 0:26:59.520
<v Speaker 1>I just don't think you can beat USC with pickleball.

0:27:00.119 --> 0:27:03.440
<v Speaker 1>To me, is where UTI is at offensively. So I'm

0:27:03.480 --> 0:27:06.159
<v Speaker 1>going to give USC the edge. Also, in you the

0:27:06.160 --> 0:27:08.400
<v Speaker 1>biggest game of the back half of the season, Cam

0:27:08.480 --> 0:27:12.280
<v Speaker 1>Rising turn the ball over multiple times, and that's what

0:27:12.400 --> 0:27:15.960
<v Speaker 1>USC does. Their whole defense is not based around filling

0:27:16.040 --> 0:27:19.240
<v Speaker 1>lanes and getting stops. It's built around flipping the field

0:27:19.280 --> 0:27:22.879
<v Speaker 1>with opportunistic moments, and so I think it's just stacked

0:27:22.920 --> 0:27:25.600
<v Speaker 1>up against Utah this week. So I'm giving the nod.

0:27:25.520 --> 0:27:29.600
<v Speaker 2>To this, we agree, all right, let's go to Saturday here, Yes,

0:27:30.320 --> 0:27:33.320
<v Speaker 2>high noon, Doctor Pepper Big twelve Championship. But we get

0:27:33.320 --> 0:27:36.679
<v Speaker 2>in a tuition throw this week, I would assume, So

0:27:37.119 --> 0:27:39.840
<v Speaker 2>all right, more to come on that we can't really

0:27:39.880 --> 0:27:42.119
<v Speaker 2>preview it. We don't know much about the participants, but

0:27:42.520 --> 0:27:44.159
<v Speaker 2>we will have a full breakdown when we do the

0:27:44.160 --> 0:27:46.359
<v Speaker 2>Sunday recap show, which by the way, will be a

0:27:46.400 --> 0:27:48.760
<v Speaker 2>little bit later. I presume we need to wait and

0:27:48.840 --> 0:27:52.280
<v Speaker 2>see what the rankings are and what the bowl matchups

0:27:52.320 --> 0:27:54.639
<v Speaker 2>are before we go live. So more to come on

0:27:54.680 --> 0:27:57.679
<v Speaker 2>that go to forballers dot com if you're ever so inclined.

0:27:57.720 --> 0:27:59.080
<v Speaker 1>If you want to get early access.

0:27:58.800 --> 0:28:00.919
<v Speaker 2>To that show, maybe watch it live as we do it,

0:28:01.400 --> 0:28:05.280
<v Speaker 2>but stay tuned on Sunday. This is an AT and

0:28:05.280 --> 0:28:09.800
<v Speaker 2>T Stadium in Arlington. It's Case State, It's TCU. TCU

0:28:09.920 --> 0:28:13.080
<v Speaker 2>favored by two and a half points. These teams also played.

0:28:13.119 --> 0:28:18.280
<v Speaker 2>It's another rematch. Case State jumped out to an early

0:28:18.400 --> 0:28:21.199
<v Speaker 2>twenty eight to ten lead back in Week eight. They

0:28:21.280 --> 0:28:23.680
<v Speaker 2>led midway through the second quarter, Dan then they never

0:28:23.840 --> 0:28:27.120
<v Speaker 2>scored again from that point forward. It was punt, miss

0:28:27.200 --> 0:28:31.679
<v Speaker 2>field goal, interception downs, miss field goal, interception. That was

0:28:31.680 --> 0:28:36.280
<v Speaker 2>the ballgame TCU ripped off twenty eight unanswered. They won

0:28:36.320 --> 0:28:39.280
<v Speaker 2>that game by a thirty eight twenty eight margin. Really

0:28:39.320 --> 0:28:43.800
<v Speaker 2>impressive showing, I thought for TCU they never really lost

0:28:43.920 --> 0:28:47.240
<v Speaker 2>their cool despite being in the hole early. They just

0:28:47.360 --> 0:28:50.640
<v Speaker 2>kind of did their thing and found their way through.

0:28:52.080 --> 0:28:54.280
<v Speaker 3>What I was sort of hung up.

0:28:54.160 --> 0:28:56.360
<v Speaker 2>On here looking back on this thing is and we

0:28:56.400 --> 0:28:59.120
<v Speaker 2>do this with every rematch, right, we have to ask

0:28:59.240 --> 0:29:02.840
<v Speaker 2>what's changed since the last game, what has changed to

0:29:03.760 --> 0:29:06.880
<v Speaker 2>impact the way we feel about this one. Obviously TCU

0:29:06.920 --> 0:29:10.080
<v Speaker 2>hasn't lost, they haven't lost at all. Case State did

0:29:10.160 --> 0:29:12.640
<v Speaker 2>drop a game to Texas, though it feels to me

0:29:12.760 --> 0:29:15.120
<v Speaker 2>like they're better now than they were back in Well.

0:29:14.960 --> 0:29:16.360
<v Speaker 1>That was an Adrew Martinez game.

0:29:16.240 --> 0:29:19.080
<v Speaker 2>Was as Adrian Martinez thing. Yeah, so it's Case State's

0:29:19.160 --> 0:29:21.240
<v Speaker 2>just in a different place than they were back then.

0:29:21.560 --> 0:29:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Certainly more stable at quarterback now that they've got Will

0:29:23.960 --> 0:29:27.240
<v Speaker 2>Howard in there as their QB one, I don't expect

0:29:27.280 --> 0:29:29.200
<v Speaker 2>them to be as mistake prone this time around. I

0:29:29.200 --> 0:29:30.920
<v Speaker 2>think they'll be a little bit more buttoned up, they'll

0:29:30.960 --> 0:29:34.520
<v Speaker 2>be more locked in. So perhaps that's something that we

0:29:34.560 --> 0:29:37.200
<v Speaker 2>can consider here as we talk through this. But I

0:29:37.560 --> 0:29:40.320
<v Speaker 2>also come back to the big play thing with respect

0:29:40.360 --> 0:29:44.680
<v Speaker 2>to this game. TCU creates more of them. They create

0:29:44.720 --> 0:29:46.800
<v Speaker 2>more of them high leverage spots. We've seen it all

0:29:46.840 --> 0:29:49.960
<v Speaker 2>season long. This game, this moment, I don't think is

0:29:49.960 --> 0:29:52.200
<v Speaker 2>too big for TCU because they've been in a bunch

0:29:52.240 --> 0:29:56.280
<v Speaker 2>of nail biers this season already. They are more battle tested.

0:29:56.320 --> 0:30:00.400
<v Speaker 2>You could argue a much more veteran unit than Can's State.

0:30:01.320 --> 0:30:03.600
<v Speaker 2>I think they are in prime position to grind this

0:30:03.640 --> 0:30:06.560
<v Speaker 2>one out. I don't think it's a blowout by any stretch.

0:30:06.600 --> 0:30:08.160
<v Speaker 2>I think Case State will be up for it. I

0:30:08.160 --> 0:30:10.120
<v Speaker 2>don't think they'll make the mistakes. As a first game,

0:30:11.040 --> 0:30:13.920
<v Speaker 2>I got something like thirty one to twenty seven TCU getting.

0:30:13.640 --> 0:30:14.200
<v Speaker 3>The job done.

0:30:14.960 --> 0:30:18.160
<v Speaker 1>I have TCU covering this spread as well, and maybe

0:30:18.280 --> 0:30:21.560
<v Speaker 1>even by more points, by seven to fourteen somewhere in

0:30:21.560 --> 0:30:24.480
<v Speaker 1>that like flirting with a double digit win. Here one,

0:30:24.560 --> 0:30:27.480
<v Speaker 1>you have the Winter wonder thing in terms of consistency

0:30:27.520 --> 0:30:30.880
<v Speaker 1>at receiver. If Quentin Johnston's health is in a good place,

0:30:30.960 --> 0:30:33.560
<v Speaker 1>I saw that. You know, you don't trust coaches and

0:30:33.600 --> 0:30:35.440
<v Speaker 1>what they say about practice reports, but you know he

0:30:35.480 --> 0:30:37.080
<v Speaker 1>looks like he looks better than he has for the

0:30:37.160 --> 0:30:39.560
<v Speaker 1>last month, right, he hurt his ankle and he's been

0:30:39.600 --> 0:30:41.960
<v Speaker 1>in and out of the lineup, so he's obviously somebody

0:30:41.960 --> 0:30:43.760
<v Speaker 1>who can take the top off of a defense. Tay

0:30:43.760 --> 0:30:46.200
<v Speaker 1>Barber is a big play guy. We know about Kendre Miller.

0:30:46.600 --> 0:30:51.600
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot about the weaponry on an offense coached

0:30:51.640 --> 0:30:57.640
<v Speaker 1>by an offensive mind led by, weirdly, the best quarterback

0:30:57.680 --> 0:31:00.200
<v Speaker 1>in the Big Twelve against the second best quarterback in

0:31:00.200 --> 0:31:02.360
<v Speaker 1>the Big Twelve. My got it? End of twenty twenty

0:31:02.400 --> 0:31:06.320
<v Speaker 1>you're like, hey, quick, little sneak prieve about twenty twenty two,

0:31:06.960 --> 0:31:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Will Howard and Max Duggan are the clear two best

0:31:09.160 --> 0:31:11.360
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks in the conference and are going to play against

0:31:11.360 --> 0:31:13.520
<v Speaker 1>each other in the conference championship game. You would have

0:31:13.560 --> 0:31:16.160
<v Speaker 1>a number of questions, and I have some answers. They

0:31:16.160 --> 0:31:20.120
<v Speaker 1>got better. I don't see that level. I think Malik

0:31:20.120 --> 0:31:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Knowles is very good. I obviously think duce Vaughan is

0:31:22.200 --> 0:31:24.840
<v Speaker 1>very good. But Case State was not an incredible rushing team.

0:31:25.080 --> 0:31:27.320
<v Speaker 1>They have an incredible rushing talent who is able to

0:31:27.360 --> 0:31:30.800
<v Speaker 1>generate bigger plays, but they weren't super consistent. It wasn't

0:31:30.880 --> 0:31:34.880
<v Speaker 1>like duce Vaughan could put this team on his back.

0:31:35.120 --> 0:31:37.720
<v Speaker 1>And say I'm going to grind out five yards of

0:31:37.760 --> 0:31:40.600
<v Speaker 1>carry when everybody knows it's coming. That's the issue for

0:31:40.720 --> 0:31:43.560
<v Speaker 1>me is that he's not a change of pace guy,

0:31:43.640 --> 0:31:45.840
<v Speaker 1>but he's just a very specific back and just an

0:31:45.840 --> 0:31:48.000
<v Speaker 1>incredible all purpose guy out of the backfield catching the

0:31:48.040 --> 0:31:51.920
<v Speaker 1>ball as well. But it's just who terrifies you from

0:31:51.960 --> 0:31:54.400
<v Speaker 1>this Kansas State offense. I think Will Howard's ascension is

0:31:54.400 --> 0:31:57.000
<v Speaker 1>pretty terrifying if you're on the TCU defense. But this

0:31:57.120 --> 0:31:59.760
<v Speaker 1>is also a unit who is pretty dramatically improved over

0:31:59.800 --> 0:32:01.960
<v Speaker 1>the course of the season. Or in the case of

0:32:02.000 --> 0:32:04.560
<v Speaker 1>this matchup, they gave up zero points in the second half,

0:32:04.600 --> 0:32:06.800
<v Speaker 1>is that true when they first played? So they did

0:32:06.800 --> 0:32:10.320
<v Speaker 1>a terrific job adjusting to what Kansas State was intending

0:32:10.400 --> 0:32:14.920
<v Speaker 1>to do on offense. And this is at a certain point,

0:32:15.040 --> 0:32:18.560
<v Speaker 1>it's not luck, right if we're going to sort of

0:32:18.720 --> 0:32:22.080
<v Speaker 1>use the term lro luck running out, it's not luck

0:32:22.120 --> 0:32:23.800
<v Speaker 1>when you're able to win in a number of ways,

0:32:23.840 --> 0:32:25.840
<v Speaker 1>when you're able to go to Austin when game day

0:32:25.880 --> 0:32:30.200
<v Speaker 1>is there and completely prevent that Texas offense from doing

0:32:30.400 --> 0:32:35.080
<v Speaker 1>anything zero offensive touchdowns, if memory serves, I think it

0:32:35.200 --> 0:32:38.240
<v Speaker 1>speaks to maturity. I think it speaks to evolution, and

0:32:39.000 --> 0:32:43.600
<v Speaker 1>I just think this TCU team is better. And I'm mister,

0:32:44.160 --> 0:32:47.080
<v Speaker 1>before the season started, I was much more enamored with

0:32:47.160 --> 0:32:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Kansas State than you were. And I think the story

0:32:49.680 --> 0:32:53.320
<v Speaker 1>of Kansas State has been terrific this year. But this

0:32:53.400 --> 0:32:58.720
<v Speaker 1>is another who's got the bright shining stars. Who do

0:32:58.760 --> 0:33:01.320
<v Speaker 1>you trust more to get open in a three point

0:33:01.360 --> 0:33:03.680
<v Speaker 1>game when there's a minute and a half left. To me,

0:33:03.760 --> 0:33:08.760
<v Speaker 1>it's TCU's assembled offensive talents a little more than Kansas

0:33:08.800 --> 0:33:09.800
<v Speaker 1>It's about trust, babe.

0:33:10.120 --> 0:33:15.440
<v Speaker 2>It's the wise prophet Ashanti. Yeah right, And on some level, yeah,

0:33:15.440 --> 0:33:17.760
<v Speaker 2>this is just who TCU is. They are battle tested,

0:33:17.760 --> 0:33:20.320
<v Speaker 2>They grind these games out. They've been good at being

0:33:20.320 --> 0:33:22.480
<v Speaker 2>in these spots all year. I'm sure if they had

0:33:22.480 --> 0:33:24.600
<v Speaker 2>their druthers, Dan, they wouldn't want to be in close

0:33:24.680 --> 0:33:27.080
<v Speaker 2>games having to come from behind, but they've been very

0:33:27.080 --> 0:33:29.800
<v Speaker 2>good at doing that. And on top of it all,

0:33:30.680 --> 0:33:32.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, you talk about Case State being a good

0:33:32.800 --> 0:33:35.280
<v Speaker 2>story this season, they have. We've just sort of gotten

0:33:35.320 --> 0:33:37.200
<v Speaker 2>to the point now with TCU where we're just kind

0:33:37.200 --> 0:33:39.160
<v Speaker 2>of glossing over the fact that they're twelve and oh

0:33:39.240 --> 0:33:42.040
<v Speaker 2>with a first year head coach on the heels of

0:33:42.040 --> 0:33:44.120
<v Speaker 2>whatever went on at the end of the Gary Patterson era.

0:33:44.520 --> 0:33:47.720
<v Speaker 2>Talk about good stories this season, you got to include

0:33:47.760 --> 0:33:50.680
<v Speaker 2>TCU in that conversation. There's no two ways about it.

0:33:51.880 --> 0:33:54.320
<v Speaker 2>I really like their chances here. I really like their

0:33:54.400 --> 0:33:56.880
<v Speaker 2>chances here to finish the job, and I hope for

0:33:56.920 --> 0:33:58.640
<v Speaker 2>their sake and their fans that they're able to do so,

0:33:59.200 --> 0:34:00.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, they ride here.

0:34:01.400 --> 0:34:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Gimme, okay, thought experiment, What is the score of a

0:34:07.280 --> 0:34:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Kansas State win? And this is you know, you're you're

0:34:10.480 --> 0:34:13.319
<v Speaker 1>predicting boom shack Laca Coregan and his crew right now.

0:34:13.880 --> 0:34:16.840
<v Speaker 1>What is the score by which Kansas State wins this game?

0:34:18.440 --> 0:34:22.640
<v Speaker 1>That forces the Committee's hand to say, well, a ton

0:34:22.719 --> 0:34:25.600
<v Speaker 1>more people are going to watch Ohio State against Georgia

0:34:25.680 --> 0:34:32.400
<v Speaker 1>or whoever in the playoff. And while we love what

0:34:32.560 --> 0:34:37.839
<v Speaker 1>TCU was able to do this year, for sure, them

0:34:37.960 --> 0:34:42.799
<v Speaker 1>losing thirty five to fourteen to Kansas State makes it

0:34:43.000 --> 0:34:47.720
<v Speaker 1>very difficult for us to pick TCU a non conference champion,

0:34:48.440 --> 0:34:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Whereas we feel that Michigan might be the best team

0:34:51.120 --> 0:34:54.160
<v Speaker 1>in the country and Ohio you know, suddenly you're doing

0:34:54.239 --> 0:34:57.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, the Rube Goldberg machine to talk yourself into

0:34:57.840 --> 0:34:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Ohio State.

0:34:58.760 --> 0:35:00.759
<v Speaker 2>We Ohio State lost by what twenty two to twenty

0:35:00.800 --> 0:35:06.440
<v Speaker 2>three points? So is it fourteen? Is it fourteen? Is

0:35:06.520 --> 0:35:09.640
<v Speaker 2>case State winning like thirty eight twenty four? It might

0:35:09.719 --> 0:35:12.759
<v Speaker 2>be one point, it might be twenty four to twenty two.

0:35:12.800 --> 0:35:14.600
<v Speaker 3>I hope it's not. But yeah, I don't think you're wrong.

0:35:16.160 --> 0:35:17.960
<v Speaker 1>There is something to me. And this is the the

0:35:18.040 --> 0:35:20.840
<v Speaker 1>cynical part of all of our brains, yep, that the

0:35:20.920 --> 0:35:26.040
<v Speaker 1>playoff is a television program and there are four hundred

0:35:26.040 --> 0:35:29.320
<v Speaker 1>and forty two TCU alumni a live in America right now.

0:35:29.800 --> 0:35:34.239
<v Speaker 1>That's the issue, and it's unfair, it's bs. But that's

0:35:34.280 --> 0:35:37.840
<v Speaker 1>the cynical part of my brain that the margin for

0:35:38.080 --> 0:35:40.840
<v Speaker 1>error and the bar that needs to be cleared for

0:35:40.920 --> 0:35:44.560
<v Speaker 1>TCU I think continues.

0:35:44.360 --> 0:35:48.839
<v Speaker 2>To be higher unfairly. But that's where we are. All right,

0:35:48.920 --> 0:35:51.719
<v Speaker 2>let's go to four pm. We agree again. By the way,

0:35:52.320 --> 0:35:56.480
<v Speaker 2>four pm CBS. This is the SEC game. They played

0:35:56.520 --> 0:35:59.719
<v Speaker 2>at Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

0:36:00.160 --> 0:36:01.279
<v Speaker 1>A good job, thank you.

0:36:01.600 --> 0:36:03.920
<v Speaker 2>We will be there against Sliver, butle live the day before.

0:36:04.120 --> 0:36:05.640
<v Speaker 2>If you're going to be in town, come on out,

0:36:05.719 --> 0:36:07.680
<v Speaker 2>see us, shake our hand, watch the PAC twelve game

0:36:07.719 --> 0:36:11.279
<v Speaker 2>with us. Wherever we go parts unknown after the show,

0:36:11.320 --> 0:36:14.840
<v Speaker 2>Show After the show, LSU at nine and three, Georgia

0:36:14.880 --> 0:36:17.919
<v Speaker 2>at twelve and oh Georgia favor by seventeen and one

0:36:18.040 --> 0:36:18.800
<v Speaker 2>half points.

0:36:18.880 --> 0:36:19.080
<v Speaker 3>Dan.

0:36:20.000 --> 0:36:23.160
<v Speaker 2>These teams did not play during the regular season, and

0:36:23.200 --> 0:36:26.480
<v Speaker 2>of course until last week, it looked like LSU may

0:36:26.480 --> 0:36:29.120
<v Speaker 2>have had an outside shot at the playoff, but you know,

0:36:29.160 --> 0:36:31.279
<v Speaker 2>they drop a third game on the road to a

0:36:31.320 --> 0:36:33.400
<v Speaker 2>five and seven A and M team that pretty much

0:36:33.480 --> 0:36:36.920
<v Speaker 2>killed it. Those chances are pretty much down the drain now,

0:36:36.960 --> 0:36:39.080
<v Speaker 2>still a lot to play for, and I think we

0:36:39.080 --> 0:36:42.160
<v Speaker 2>would both agree that on some level LSU is a

0:36:42.280 --> 0:36:45.960
<v Speaker 2>dangerous team, especially in a situation like this where folks

0:36:46.000 --> 0:36:49.800
<v Speaker 2>are already counting them out sight unseen. What are your thoughts,

0:36:49.800 --> 0:36:52.320
<v Speaker 2>Here's what's your read. Does LSU have a shot?

0:36:53.840 --> 0:36:56.040
<v Speaker 1>LS who has a shot? Just because they're not playing

0:36:56.080 --> 0:36:59.440
<v Speaker 1>for anything? So there's like this element of danger with

0:36:59.640 --> 0:37:02.920
<v Speaker 1>LS a good coach and Brian Kelly when healthy. They

0:37:02.960 --> 0:37:05.799
<v Speaker 1>have a very good quarterback in Jade Daniels, They've got

0:37:05.800 --> 0:37:08.799
<v Speaker 1>some scary people up front on defense, and they have

0:37:08.840 --> 0:37:12.319
<v Speaker 1>playmakers on both sides of the ball. Georgia is not

0:37:12.440 --> 0:37:15.320
<v Speaker 1>where they were last year, the way they separated themselves

0:37:15.320 --> 0:37:19.160
<v Speaker 1>from everybody at least leading up to the you know,

0:37:19.239 --> 0:37:25.000
<v Speaker 1>the SEC Championship game that they lost Alabama in. That's

0:37:25.040 --> 0:37:27.759
<v Speaker 1>the danger with LSU. The other danger is there's a

0:37:28.080 --> 0:37:31.360
<v Speaker 1>two word term that I hate seeing leading up to

0:37:31.360 --> 0:37:35.960
<v Speaker 1>the game with a quarterback, and that's walking boot. Oh yeah,

0:37:36.440 --> 0:37:41.919
<v Speaker 1>with Jane Daniels's ankle, yes, brained ankle. And so it's

0:37:42.000 --> 0:37:45.080
<v Speaker 1>concerning to me to see those two very specific words

0:37:45.600 --> 0:37:48.600
<v Speaker 1>when he is responsible for so much of that offense,

0:37:48.640 --> 0:37:50.400
<v Speaker 1>not just throwing the ball, not just running the ball,

0:37:50.719 --> 0:37:57.200
<v Speaker 1>but buying himself time, rallying the team, big moments, scram like.

0:37:57.239 --> 0:38:01.360
<v Speaker 1>It's just he's the heartbeat of this team. He's the Zerbiak,

0:38:01.440 --> 0:38:03.400
<v Speaker 1>as we like to say, if you remember while he's

0:38:03.480 --> 0:38:05.880
<v Speaker 1>erbiak being responsible for like seventy seven percent of his

0:38:05.920 --> 0:38:09.680
<v Speaker 1>team's points at Miami Ohio. That's the concern to me

0:38:09.960 --> 0:38:14.480
<v Speaker 1>that any LSU victory very specifically glows through goes through

0:38:14.560 --> 0:38:18.759
<v Speaker 1>Jaden Daniels. And what Georgia has done this year is

0:38:19.440 --> 0:38:25.839
<v Speaker 1>they've been ruthless on offense, albeit not as incredible at

0:38:25.880 --> 0:38:28.200
<v Speaker 1>times because their loss of talent from last year. That's

0:38:28.200 --> 0:38:30.560
<v Speaker 1>more pronounced on defense, but they've come out of the

0:38:30.600 --> 0:38:33.279
<v Speaker 1>gate so strong, and I just don't know if I

0:38:33.320 --> 0:38:36.560
<v Speaker 1>love this LSU team playing from behind. If all of

0:38:36.600 --> 0:38:38.839
<v Speaker 1>a sudden, Jadan Daniel needs to throw it fifty three

0:38:38.880 --> 0:38:41.560
<v Speaker 1>times against Georgia, like, I think there is a very

0:38:41.600 --> 0:38:44.120
<v Speaker 1>specific like, if you're able to throw the ball only

0:38:44.160 --> 0:38:47.279
<v Speaker 1>thirty four times against Georgia, it probably means you're having

0:38:47.280 --> 0:38:49.479
<v Speaker 1>some success on the ground against his bulldog team, which

0:38:49.480 --> 0:38:53.600
<v Speaker 1>not many teams do. I just it's hard for me

0:38:53.719 --> 0:38:56.960
<v Speaker 1>to construct this win knowing Jaden Daniels is, even if

0:38:56.960 --> 0:39:01.240
<v Speaker 1>he's eighty ninety percent whatever he is, needs so much.

0:39:01.320 --> 0:39:05.600
<v Speaker 1>We saw the most explosive offense in the country become

0:39:05.760 --> 0:39:09.720
<v Speaker 1>completely grounded against this Georgia team. And the games in Atlanta,

0:39:09.840 --> 0:39:12.200
<v Speaker 1>games not in Dallas, games not in Chicago, games on

0:39:12.280 --> 0:39:15.440
<v Speaker 1>in Seattle. It's gonna be a ferocious home crowd for

0:39:15.480 --> 0:39:18.520
<v Speaker 1>the Dogs, and I just think there's too much speed

0:39:18.560 --> 0:39:20.840
<v Speaker 1>and there's too much opportunity for Georgia here. So I

0:39:20.840 --> 0:39:24.400
<v Speaker 1>have them winning by and also LSU limping into this

0:39:24.440 --> 0:39:25.680
<v Speaker 1>game after the A and M game.

0:39:26.400 --> 0:39:26.839
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:39:26.960 --> 0:39:28.960
<v Speaker 1>I think it's at least two touchdowns for the Dogs.

0:39:29.440 --> 0:39:34.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think I think I'm with you on paper,

0:39:34.800 --> 0:39:37.800
<v Speaker 2>This looks like a pretty good mismatch for obvious reasons.

0:39:37.880 --> 0:39:40.920
<v Speaker 2>We can get into that, But to me, the LSU

0:39:41.000 --> 0:39:44.480
<v Speaker 2>story is very much that of an unfinished product. A

0:39:44.520 --> 0:39:47.239
<v Speaker 2>good product, yeah, a good product that is getting better.

0:39:47.320 --> 0:39:51.719
<v Speaker 2>Jadan Daniels just started coming into his own second half

0:39:51.719 --> 0:39:55.360
<v Speaker 2>of the season, but Tigers aren't quite there yet. You

0:39:55.400 --> 0:39:58.680
<v Speaker 2>can see the pieces, you can see an assembling for

0:39:58.800 --> 0:40:02.000
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty three and beyond, and I think it won't

0:40:02.000 --> 0:40:05.000
<v Speaker 2>be long before Brian Kelly has this thing fully optimized

0:40:05.000 --> 0:40:07.759
<v Speaker 2>and tuned up and really to go and to push

0:40:07.800 --> 0:40:11.200
<v Speaker 2>forward as a true contender. But it's it's just not

0:40:11.280 --> 0:40:15.240
<v Speaker 2>there yet. The numbers say that Georgia can run an LSU,

0:40:15.960 --> 0:40:19.279
<v Speaker 2>and in general, if Georgia can run on you, that's

0:40:19.360 --> 0:40:21.320
<v Speaker 2>kind of the flywheel for the rest of the operation.

0:40:21.600 --> 0:40:24.359
<v Speaker 2>You know, it makes it easier to pass. You can

0:40:24.400 --> 0:40:26.840
<v Speaker 2>create different looks, you can use motion, you can create

0:40:26.880 --> 0:40:29.600
<v Speaker 2>mismatches down the field. That's my biggest concern. Also, you

0:40:29.760 --> 0:40:32.040
<v Speaker 2>keep the defense on the field, keep the defense on

0:40:32.080 --> 0:40:34.920
<v Speaker 2>the field, you keep wearing them down. And by the way,

0:40:34.920 --> 0:40:38.080
<v Speaker 2>none of this is anything new. This isn't rocket science.

0:40:38.080 --> 0:40:39.920
<v Speaker 2>If you've watched Georgia football, this is the way they

0:40:39.920 --> 0:40:46.319
<v Speaker 2>beat everybody. It's a concern against literally all of George's opponents, Right,

0:40:46.400 --> 0:40:48.200
<v Speaker 2>how are they going to deal with Georgia upfront?

0:40:48.239 --> 0:40:50.840
<v Speaker 1>And as they start grinding you down on defense?

0:40:51.040 --> 0:40:53.720
<v Speaker 2>So you know, you'll hear a lot about Jayde Daniels

0:40:53.719 --> 0:40:55.600
<v Speaker 2>this week in the Boot, and he's a great story.

0:40:55.760 --> 0:40:56.640
<v Speaker 1>The team trusts him.

0:40:57.000 --> 0:41:00.000
<v Speaker 2>I was very wrong about the quarterback position this season

0:41:00.080 --> 0:41:03.000
<v Speaker 2>for lsu Mia Kalpa right had a huge dove for

0:41:03.040 --> 0:41:08.239
<v Speaker 2>Brian Kelly in any sense of the word. But I

0:41:08.280 --> 0:41:11.560
<v Speaker 2>don't like the scenario in which Georgia can run on

0:41:11.600 --> 0:41:16.160
<v Speaker 2>you and your offense is basically a one man army, right,

0:41:16.880 --> 0:41:19.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, Jane Daniels, one man army with the boot

0:41:19.800 --> 0:41:23.600
<v Speaker 2>trying to solve the Georgia defense does not seem like

0:41:23.640 --> 0:41:27.160
<v Speaker 2>a great setup to me. They've got playmakers, right. I

0:41:27.200 --> 0:41:30.560
<v Speaker 2>don't want to disparage Josh Williams or Malik Neighbors or

0:41:30.680 --> 0:41:33.839
<v Speaker 2>kashn Booty or I mean like they've got playmakers, but

0:41:34.360 --> 0:41:36.160
<v Speaker 2>it just feels a lot like it's gonna be Jane

0:41:36.239 --> 0:41:37.799
<v Speaker 2>Daniels out there trying to solve this thing.

0:41:37.920 --> 0:41:40.120
<v Speaker 1>And I don't like that at all. That's a bad

0:41:40.160 --> 0:41:40.879
<v Speaker 1>matchup for me.

0:41:41.200 --> 0:41:44.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm on the dogs here. I could see this being

0:41:44.120 --> 0:41:47.520
<v Speaker 2>one of those games where LSU hit something early before

0:41:47.600 --> 0:41:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Georgia settles into the game. We've seen that, right, that

0:41:50.440 --> 0:41:53.960
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't be a new thing. But crock potting the rest

0:41:53.960 --> 0:41:56.839
<v Speaker 2>of the way. Crock potting the rest of the way.

0:41:57.560 --> 0:41:59.439
<v Speaker 1>Who's the team that you think has the best chance

0:41:59.480 --> 0:42:02.680
<v Speaker 1>to be Georgia this year? Who is built constructed, has

0:42:02.719 --> 0:42:04.800
<v Speaker 1>the ability to win in different ways. If the runs

0:42:04.840 --> 0:42:06.680
<v Speaker 1>taken away, if the pass is taken away, that they

0:42:06.719 --> 0:42:08.520
<v Speaker 1>can get to Stetson Bentley. Who is that team?

0:42:09.640 --> 0:42:10.600
<v Speaker 3>I mean, is it Michigan?

0:42:13.200 --> 0:42:15.440
<v Speaker 1>I think it's the best of Ohio State? Unfortunately?

0:42:15.719 --> 0:42:16.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Or USC?

0:42:16.960 --> 0:42:20.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean USC could be an interesting matchup because of

0:42:20.160 --> 0:42:20.680
<v Speaker 2>the offense.

0:42:22.239 --> 0:42:25.200
<v Speaker 1>But if that game comes down to a twenty seventeen

0:42:25.719 --> 0:42:30.959
<v Speaker 1>type back and forth, you trust USC. No no I. Unfortunately,

0:42:31.960 --> 0:42:33.880
<v Speaker 1>we don't live in a universe which the best of

0:42:33.920 --> 0:42:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Ohio State exists every week. But if you're talking to

0:42:36.960 --> 0:42:41.279
<v Speaker 1>me about playmakers up front on defense and quarterback as

0:42:41.360 --> 0:42:44.680
<v Speaker 1>being the keys to winning the national championship, the best

0:42:44.680 --> 0:42:48.600
<v Speaker 1>of Ohio State, which again doesn't really exist against the

0:42:48.640 --> 0:42:50.399
<v Speaker 1>best teams they play, I mean they played Penn State

0:42:50.480 --> 0:42:51.840
<v Speaker 1>really really well and they broke that open at the

0:42:51.920 --> 0:42:56.640
<v Speaker 1>end of the game. That's the closest thing to me, Well,

0:42:56.880 --> 0:43:01.040
<v Speaker 1>that is a threat because nobody else as that. Nobody

0:43:01.080 --> 0:43:03.920
<v Speaker 1>else has JT. Tuamalu and CJ. Stroud.

0:43:05.239 --> 0:43:08.759
<v Speaker 2>But here's the thing, this is not twenty twenty one,

0:43:10.320 --> 0:43:11.440
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty two.

0:43:11.520 --> 0:43:14.479
<v Speaker 1>It feels like there is a.

0:43:14.480 --> 0:43:17.880
<v Speaker 2>Lack of greatness when we talk about these teams.

0:43:17.880 --> 0:43:18.840
<v Speaker 1>They're very good.

0:43:19.160 --> 0:43:21.520
<v Speaker 2>Georgia and Michigan I think far and away are the

0:43:21.560 --> 0:43:24.840
<v Speaker 2>best two teams right now. But each of those teams

0:43:24.840 --> 0:43:28.319
<v Speaker 2>is beatable. On any given day, they're beatable, and it

0:43:28.400 --> 0:43:30.239
<v Speaker 2>is not like last season where it felt like we

0:43:30.280 --> 0:43:35.600
<v Speaker 2>had infallible teams right at the top. Could USC be

0:43:35.800 --> 0:43:37.160
<v Speaker 2>twenty nineteen.

0:43:36.880 --> 0:43:39.120
<v Speaker 1>LSU, I don't know.

0:43:40.080 --> 0:43:40.480
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:43:40.520 --> 0:43:42.799
<v Speaker 2>They've got the generational quarterback. We'll see what they can

0:43:42.800 --> 0:43:44.440
<v Speaker 2>do against a really, really good defense.

0:43:44.520 --> 0:43:49.640
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, I would have a conversation about Alabama

0:43:49.920 --> 0:43:53.520
<v Speaker 1>just because nobody is I mean, besides Caleb Williams, is

0:43:53.560 --> 0:43:56.520
<v Speaker 1>what Bryce Young is in terms of rabbit out of

0:43:56.560 --> 0:43:58.440
<v Speaker 1>hat And they also have, you know, great edge rusher

0:43:58.440 --> 0:44:00.359
<v Speaker 1>and stuff like that, But just the defense and two

0:44:00.440 --> 0:44:03.640
<v Speaker 1>all over the place as a whole that I don't

0:44:03.680 --> 0:44:06.440
<v Speaker 1>know if I fully trust them. But still, you know,

0:44:06.600 --> 0:44:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Will Anderson and Bryce Young, I'm willing to have that conversation,

0:44:11.960 --> 0:44:15.120
<v Speaker 1>but right now, no, there's nobody obvious that, like, we

0:44:15.160 --> 0:44:18.000
<v Speaker 1>know Bryce Young can meet the moment. Sure, we don't

0:44:18.040 --> 0:44:20.799
<v Speaker 1>know that about c J. Stroud. I don't know if

0:44:20.800 --> 0:44:23.120
<v Speaker 1>we know that about JJ McCarthy. But I think I

0:44:23.320 --> 0:44:26.399
<v Speaker 1>trust CJ. Stroud a little bit more to win in

0:44:26.440 --> 0:44:29.080
<v Speaker 1>a number of ways. But it's we just don't live

0:44:29.080 --> 0:44:29.720
<v Speaker 1>in that universe.

0:44:29.719 --> 0:44:31.160
<v Speaker 3>So I don't know, No, I don't know.

0:44:31.680 --> 0:44:35.440
<v Speaker 2>We could have some interesting playoff conversations here when we

0:44:35.480 --> 0:44:38.520
<v Speaker 2>get the final matchups. The USC matchup with Georgia is

0:44:38.520 --> 0:44:41.120
<v Speaker 2>one that intrigues me. It feels a lot like the

0:44:41.160 --> 0:44:46.520
<v Speaker 2>Tennessee game. So maybe not as intrigued as I say

0:44:46.520 --> 0:44:49.600
<v Speaker 2>now here in week fourteen when the Rubber meets the road,

0:44:49.600 --> 0:44:52.840
<v Speaker 2>but we'll get to that. I'm on Georgia thirty five seventeen.

0:44:52.920 --> 0:44:55.040
<v Speaker 2>I think the number the points breads seventeen and a

0:44:55.040 --> 0:44:57.319
<v Speaker 2>half's right around the correct.

0:44:57.080 --> 0:44:58.080
<v Speaker 1>One nineteen and a half.

0:44:58.160 --> 0:45:01.480
<v Speaker 2>Holy hell, big number. Yeah, it's number thirty five seventeen

0:45:01.560 --> 0:45:01.799
<v Speaker 2>is my.

0:45:01.760 --> 0:45:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Final My other wild card Is Brady Cook and Mazoo

0:45:04.600 --> 0:45:09.040
<v Speaker 1>because they've already shown in that's all right, Let's go

0:45:09.120 --> 0:45:14.400
<v Speaker 1>to eight pm on Fox the Big Ten Championship game.

0:45:14.560 --> 0:45:18.000
<v Speaker 2>Two teams that have not played this season either. It

0:45:18.080 --> 0:45:21.320
<v Speaker 2>is eight and four Perdue. It is twelve to Oho Michigan,

0:45:21.360 --> 0:45:24.960
<v Speaker 2>another big line. Michigan favored by sixteen points.

0:45:24.960 --> 0:45:25.200
<v Speaker 3>Stan.

0:45:25.520 --> 0:45:28.600
<v Speaker 2>I've seen this one jump around anywhere from sixteen to seventeen.

0:45:29.239 --> 0:45:32.399
<v Speaker 2>A high probability here that we've got to blowout. And

0:45:32.520 --> 0:45:35.520
<v Speaker 2>I say that for a couple reasons. First Off, you know,

0:45:35.600 --> 0:45:39.399
<v Speaker 2>Perdue's defense is not terrible against the run. However, they

0:45:39.440 --> 0:45:41.960
<v Speaker 2>definitely profile as a team that will get pushed around

0:45:42.000 --> 0:45:44.920
<v Speaker 2>up front and eventually give up some long runs. And

0:45:44.960 --> 0:45:48.600
<v Speaker 2>that's basically the way Michigan beats you everyone. They've played right,

0:45:49.200 --> 0:45:51.880
<v Speaker 2>grind down the defensive line, pop up with that pinata

0:45:51.920 --> 0:45:55.800
<v Speaker 2>play late. Yeah, we saw it last week with Donovan Edwards.

0:45:55.840 --> 0:45:59.279
<v Speaker 2>We had this two long touchdown runs late with one arm,

0:45:59.400 --> 0:46:02.440
<v Speaker 2>with one arm. The same holds true against the pass.

0:46:02.640 --> 0:46:06.640
<v Speaker 2>Purdue's defense not bad against the pass, but they do

0:46:06.680 --> 0:46:10.000
<v Speaker 2>give up big plays, so there's potential there for this

0:46:10.040 --> 0:46:12.400
<v Speaker 2>thing to get out of hand late. Also, the dirty

0:46:12.440 --> 0:46:13.840
<v Speaker 2>secret on Purdue.

0:46:15.400 --> 0:46:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Is the offense all that good? Do we think the

0:46:17.880 --> 0:46:20.160
<v Speaker 1>offense at Purdue is really that good? I think they've

0:46:20.160 --> 0:46:22.880
<v Speaker 1>gotten a little bit better in terms of appearing to

0:46:22.920 --> 0:46:26.040
<v Speaker 1>be more complete. Yeah, you got your guy, Chuck Sizzle.

0:46:26.280 --> 0:46:29.279
<v Speaker 1>Chuck Sizzle, we got I believe look Ivkaby. I'm not

0:46:29.360 --> 0:46:32.000
<v Speaker 1>anti Purdue, but I think what a lot of people

0:46:32.000 --> 0:46:34.000
<v Speaker 1>think of Purdue. They think, Okay, they're gonna air it out,

0:46:34.000 --> 0:46:36.600
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna score points for better or worreas a lot

0:46:36.640 --> 0:46:38.799
<v Speaker 1>of people still think of Drew brees Perdue when they

0:46:38.840 --> 0:46:43.200
<v Speaker 1>think of Purdue an offense. They've had the best offense

0:46:43.440 --> 0:46:46.960
<v Speaker 1>in the Big Ten West, which is a little bit

0:46:47.040 --> 0:46:49.080
<v Speaker 1>like being the one eyed man in the land of

0:46:49.080 --> 0:46:49.560
<v Speaker 1>the blinde.

0:46:49.840 --> 0:46:57.840
<v Speaker 2>But I don't know, like it's a lot of short stuff. Yep,

0:46:59.120 --> 0:47:02.120
<v Speaker 2>it's a lot of not having popped down the field

0:47:03.239 --> 0:47:06.680
<v Speaker 2>that'll get you to the Big Ten championship game. Right

0:47:07.080 --> 0:47:09.640
<v Speaker 2>A O'Connell and Devin mackaby got into it, and am

0:47:09.640 --> 0:47:11.839
<v Speaker 2>O'Connell's beat up too, and is beat up and Chuck

0:47:11.880 --> 0:47:13.840
<v Speaker 2>Sizzle like all these guys are are good names and

0:47:13.880 --> 0:47:16.560
<v Speaker 2>they've had a good season, But the offense is such

0:47:16.600 --> 0:47:18.040
<v Speaker 2>that it'll get you to this game.

0:47:18.080 --> 0:47:18.799
<v Speaker 1>It won't get you.

0:47:18.680 --> 0:47:19.319
<v Speaker 3>Pass this game.

0:47:19.360 --> 0:47:22.239
<v Speaker 2>It's not gonna get you past Michigan. So to me,

0:47:22.480 --> 0:47:25.239
<v Speaker 2>this looks like the most blowout potential of any of

0:47:25.239 --> 0:47:28.360
<v Speaker 2>these games, like forty one seventeen somewhere in that.

0:47:28.520 --> 0:47:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, look, we saw a similar situation with Michigan

0:47:31.280 --> 0:47:34.920
<v Speaker 1>last year beating Ohio State, you know, breaking through in

0:47:34.960 --> 0:47:36.799
<v Speaker 1>ann Arbor, and you're like, oh, man, is there let

0:47:36.800 --> 0:47:40.920
<v Speaker 1>down potential against Iowa been forty two to three. So

0:47:41.480 --> 0:47:43.000
<v Speaker 1>I just assume they're going to be locked in.

0:47:43.239 --> 0:47:45.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna I'm going to this one up, by the way,

0:47:45.719 --> 0:47:46.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna.

0:47:52.840 --> 0:47:56.239
<v Speaker 1>I just I'm not I I can't construct it in

0:47:56.320 --> 0:47:58.920
<v Speaker 1>my brain of you know, saying this is what happens

0:47:58.960 --> 0:48:03.080
<v Speaker 1>for we're doing this freak occurrences that it's special teams,

0:48:03.160 --> 0:48:07.120
<v Speaker 1>that it's busted plays, that it's Jeff Brahm wizardry or whatever.

0:48:07.640 --> 0:48:10.640
<v Speaker 1>But it also doesn't feel like the kind of team, yeah,

0:48:10.680 --> 0:48:13.040
<v Speaker 1>that Michigan will struggle with the kinds of teams that

0:48:13.080 --> 0:48:15.920
<v Speaker 1>they've struggled with. You know, I guess Maryland early on

0:48:16.160 --> 0:48:19.719
<v Speaker 1>going for it downfield. They've got better receivers than Purdue does,

0:48:20.239 --> 0:48:22.920
<v Speaker 1>and Illinois who was able to get stops and force

0:48:23.520 --> 0:48:26.680
<v Speaker 1>Michigan to you know, win the game four yards at

0:48:26.680 --> 0:48:30.480
<v Speaker 1>a time with Jake Moody, I just don't think that

0:48:30.600 --> 0:48:33.440
<v Speaker 1>is that is where we land with the Purdue experience.

0:48:33.480 --> 0:48:35.720
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I have Michigan big yeah.

0:48:35.800 --> 0:48:38.240
<v Speaker 2>All right, Well let's go to then the final Power

0:48:38.320 --> 0:48:41.440
<v Speaker 2>five championship game. Then we're going to talk very quickly

0:48:41.480 --> 0:48:44.360
<v Speaker 2>about some of the others that you know, weren't mentioning.

0:48:44.360 --> 0:48:47.160
<v Speaker 2>We have to mention all of them. This one eight PM.

0:48:47.200 --> 0:48:51.040
<v Speaker 2>It's the Subway ACC Championship. Gave Subway getting in on

0:48:51.080 --> 0:48:52.799
<v Speaker 2>the action. Dan, I don't know.

0:48:52.800 --> 0:48:55.600
<v Speaker 1>The last time I went to subway. The reason I

0:48:55.640 --> 0:48:59.960
<v Speaker 1>don't go to subway, among others, is that, yeah, wah wah.

0:49:00.000 --> 0:49:03.319
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean I have wahwak close by, but you

0:49:03.400 --> 0:49:05.680
<v Speaker 2>go into a subway and your clothes smell like you

0:49:05.719 --> 0:49:08.160
<v Speaker 2>were at a subway. Oh man, can't wash that out

0:49:08.200 --> 0:49:08.760
<v Speaker 2>of the jacket.

0:49:08.760 --> 0:49:08.960
<v Speaker 3>Man.

0:49:09.680 --> 0:49:13.640
<v Speaker 1>My first radio show in college was above a subway

0:49:13.680 --> 0:49:15.280
<v Speaker 1>in the Oregon Student Union.

0:49:15.440 --> 0:49:16.920
<v Speaker 3>You can't wash that out, am.

0:49:16.960 --> 0:49:19.680
<v Speaker 1>I to understand foot long subs are now like eleven dollars?

0:49:19.920 --> 0:49:20.480
<v Speaker 1>Is that a thing?

0:49:20.800 --> 0:49:21.160
<v Speaker 3>Really?

0:49:21.680 --> 0:49:24.120
<v Speaker 1>I That's what I've been told, but I haven't been

0:49:24.120 --> 0:49:26.520
<v Speaker 1>to a subway. I think subway is fine, but I

0:49:26.600 --> 0:49:27.200
<v Speaker 1>just haven't been in.

0:49:27.160 --> 0:49:29.640
<v Speaker 2>A long good five dollars foot longs back in my day, man,

0:49:29.800 --> 0:49:34.279
<v Speaker 2>I remember, yeah, the halcyon days, five dollars foot long?

0:49:34.480 --> 0:49:36.600
<v Speaker 1>What was your order? Not a sponsor could be, But

0:49:36.640 --> 0:49:37.640
<v Speaker 1>did you have a subway order?

0:49:37.719 --> 0:49:39.720
<v Speaker 2>Definitely not a sponsor could be. I mean I'm always

0:49:39.719 --> 0:49:42.280
<v Speaker 2>big on the turkey sub you know me, straight turkey,

0:49:43.040 --> 0:49:44.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean with toppings.

0:49:44.360 --> 0:49:49.120
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

0:49:49.120 --> 0:49:53.240
<v Speaker 2>I load it up with with veggie toppings, but not

0:49:53.239 --> 0:49:58.359
<v Speaker 2>not too creative from a sandwich architecture standpoint one.

0:49:58.400 --> 0:50:01.960
<v Speaker 1>With a meatball sub, well, they're not bad, pretty good,

0:50:02.280 --> 0:50:04.759
<v Speaker 1>all right? You want to talk Clemson, North Carolina or

0:50:05.880 --> 0:50:06.720
<v Speaker 1>veggies and meats.

0:50:07.040 --> 0:50:11.160
<v Speaker 2>Clemson ten and two a seven and a half point

0:50:11.200 --> 0:50:15.120
<v Speaker 2>favorite against North Carolina nine and three. Again, these teams

0:50:15.120 --> 0:50:18.480
<v Speaker 2>did not play during the regular season. Both have sort

0:50:18.520 --> 0:50:21.480
<v Speaker 2>of limped to the finish in a sense. We had

0:50:21.520 --> 0:50:25.239
<v Speaker 2>Clemson losing last week at home to South Carolina. The

0:50:25.280 --> 0:50:28.560
<v Speaker 2>Tigers also lost earlier in the month to Notre Dame,

0:50:28.840 --> 0:50:31.960
<v Speaker 2>a game in which they thoroughly were beaten on the ground.

0:50:32.040 --> 0:50:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Just got the ground, Yeah, yeah, and then Carolina has

0:50:35.040 --> 0:50:38.040
<v Speaker 2>lost two in a row, both at home to Georgia

0:50:38.080 --> 0:50:42.160
<v Speaker 2>Tech and NC State in that rivalry game a week ago.

0:50:42.680 --> 0:50:46.279
<v Speaker 2>I've got this one at like forty one, let's say

0:50:46.320 --> 0:50:47.719
<v Speaker 2>forty one to twenty eight Clemson.

0:50:47.960 --> 0:50:50.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm right there. Yeah, I hate, I hate doing this

0:50:50.680 --> 0:50:52.160
<v Speaker 1>chalk thing. I favorites.

0:50:52.320 --> 0:50:52.560
<v Speaker 3>I know.

0:50:52.960 --> 0:50:54.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm worried about both teams.

0:50:54.640 --> 0:50:55.480
<v Speaker 3>For different reasons.

0:50:55.600 --> 0:50:59.560
<v Speaker 2>My worries on the Clemson side stem from the quarterback

0:50:59.600 --> 0:51:03.799
<v Speaker 2>insta mm hmm. And let's be honest, that's really not

0:51:03.800 --> 0:51:06.520
<v Speaker 2>going to be a problem this weekend. That's not a

0:51:06.520 --> 0:51:08.000
<v Speaker 2>problem when you play North Carolina.

0:51:08.320 --> 0:51:11.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, I don't know. It's not a problem when Carolina.

0:51:12.160 --> 0:51:15.279
<v Speaker 2>Whoever plays quarterback in this game is going to throw

0:51:15.320 --> 0:51:19.120
<v Speaker 2>for like two point fifty three touchdowns and not really

0:51:19.200 --> 0:51:21.560
<v Speaker 2>have much issue because that is who Carolina is as

0:51:21.600 --> 0:51:24.439
<v Speaker 2>a defense. Clemson could also give the ball to Will

0:51:24.440 --> 0:51:27.479
<v Speaker 2>Shipley thirty times and that'd be enough. Basically, it's create

0:51:27.520 --> 0:51:29.520
<v Speaker 2>your own offense. It's whatever you want to do in

0:51:29.560 --> 0:51:32.560
<v Speaker 2>this game will probably work and you will score forty

0:51:32.600 --> 0:51:37.680
<v Speaker 2>points against Carolina. My other concern on the Clemson side

0:51:37.719 --> 0:51:40.440
<v Speaker 2>that's probably more relevant here is the packet up packet

0:51:40.480 --> 0:51:45.480
<v Speaker 2>in situation for the Tigers, and there's no stakes after Yeah,

0:51:45.520 --> 0:51:47.680
<v Speaker 2>like before last week they had a shot at the playoff,

0:51:48.760 --> 0:51:50.640
<v Speaker 2>and this would have been a one loss team with

0:51:50.719 --> 0:51:54.680
<v Speaker 2>a primetime matchup with a game left to play, maybe

0:51:54.680 --> 0:51:57.160
<v Speaker 2>an opportunity to impress the committee of things in front

0:51:57.160 --> 0:52:00.120
<v Speaker 2>of him go Haywire. But is basically a meaning this

0:52:00.320 --> 0:52:03.600
<v Speaker 2>game in terms of the national conversation. And I just

0:52:03.640 --> 0:52:06.640
<v Speaker 2>wonder what version of Clemson we get. The concern on

0:52:06.840 --> 0:52:09.440
<v Speaker 2>the Carolina side is pretty obvious. They don't play defense,

0:52:09.960 --> 0:52:12.200
<v Speaker 2>and there could also be a big time limp to

0:52:12.239 --> 0:52:15.080
<v Speaker 2>the finish in them continuing after what we saw for

0:52:15.120 --> 0:52:18.560
<v Speaker 2>the last two weeks. Yep, So I think I come

0:52:18.600 --> 0:52:20.319
<v Speaker 2>down on the Clemson side. I got it forty one

0:52:20.400 --> 0:52:22.279
<v Speaker 2>twenty eight. I don't feel great about this one at all,

0:52:22.320 --> 0:52:24.240
<v Speaker 2>but I think Clemson's a better side.

0:52:26.320 --> 0:52:30.799
<v Speaker 1>The question is do you take the team with the

0:52:30.840 --> 0:52:35.359
<v Speaker 1>better quarterback if you're confused about the outcome? Now, Drake

0:52:35.400 --> 0:52:38.280
<v Speaker 1>May's kind of fallen off these past couple weeks against

0:52:38.440 --> 0:52:39.400
<v Speaker 1>what NC State and.

0:52:39.400 --> 0:52:41.160
<v Speaker 3>Who they played the week for Georgia Tech.

0:52:41.440 --> 0:52:44.560
<v Speaker 1>They played Georgia Tech and lost, and I think scored

0:52:44.960 --> 0:52:47.480
<v Speaker 1>seventeen in that losing effort.

0:52:47.520 --> 0:52:50.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm worried in particular about that side of things. When

0:52:50.880 --> 0:52:53.840
<v Speaker 2>I say limp to the finish, I'm being perhaps a

0:52:53.840 --> 0:52:57.759
<v Speaker 2>little too simplistic. I'm worried that teams have figured out

0:52:57.800 --> 0:52:59.160
<v Speaker 2>Carolina and Drake May.

0:52:59.280 --> 0:53:00.120
<v Speaker 3>Drake May is still.

0:53:00.000 --> 0:53:02.720
<v Speaker 2>Holding up numbers, but I'm worried that teams have figured

0:53:02.719 --> 0:53:04.680
<v Speaker 2>something out because those are two games that I don't

0:53:04.680 --> 0:53:05.600
<v Speaker 2>feel they should have lost.

0:53:06.960 --> 0:53:10.000
<v Speaker 1>True, although he's a freshman and maybe you slow down

0:53:10.000 --> 0:53:11.399
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the year, it's a freshman wall

0:53:11.440 --> 0:53:13.959
<v Speaker 1>a little bit as people, as you mentioned, figured out

0:53:14.040 --> 0:53:16.719
<v Speaker 1>like some of your tendencies. But he's also good improvising

0:53:16.719 --> 0:53:19.040
<v Speaker 1>and buying himself time and you know, finding the fourth

0:53:19.160 --> 0:53:22.120
<v Speaker 1>or fifth guy. Like he's a quarterback well ahead of

0:53:22.120 --> 0:53:22.520
<v Speaker 1>his years.

0:53:22.560 --> 0:53:25.120
<v Speaker 2>He's well ahead of his years, and that would definitely

0:53:25.120 --> 0:53:28.920
<v Speaker 2>hold some water if his numbers weren't still good. Right,

0:53:29.040 --> 0:53:31.680
<v Speaker 2>his numbers are still good. In the offense has sputtered

0:53:31.680 --> 0:53:35.879
<v Speaker 2>a bit, so defenses have figured them out in some way,

0:53:35.920 --> 0:53:37.760
<v Speaker 2>shape or form to keep him out of the end zone.

0:53:37.800 --> 0:53:39.879
<v Speaker 3>And that's that's problematic.

0:53:40.280 --> 0:53:43.520
<v Speaker 1>So here's the question. The question then becomes who do

0:53:43.560 --> 0:53:47.279
<v Speaker 1>you feel more comfortable taking a not heavy favorite, but

0:53:47.320 --> 0:53:49.240
<v Speaker 1>a comfortable favorite when you say eight and a half points,

0:53:49.280 --> 0:53:51.040
<v Speaker 1>seven and a half, seven and a half points, So

0:53:51.160 --> 0:53:55.879
<v Speaker 1>comfortable favorite with the potential to collapse via the passing game.

0:53:56.280 --> 0:54:00.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to be nice here, not name name, and

0:54:00.520 --> 0:54:05.280
<v Speaker 1>not be mean to specific people. Yeah, prone to collapse

0:54:05.560 --> 0:54:09.760
<v Speaker 1>via the passing game, and the passing game on defense

0:54:09.800 --> 0:54:11.279
<v Speaker 1>as well. Like it's one of those things where we

0:54:11.280 --> 0:54:12.799
<v Speaker 1>say a lot of people have figured out, you know,

0:54:12.880 --> 0:54:15.239
<v Speaker 1>North Carolina a little bit. People have figured out the

0:54:15.280 --> 0:54:20.239
<v Speaker 1>secondary of Clemson all year long, essentially, and so that

0:54:20.320 --> 0:54:24.200
<v Speaker 1>to me is the concern that North Carolina could win

0:54:24.239 --> 0:54:27.000
<v Speaker 1>this game forty two to forty, right, that you're able

0:54:27.040 --> 0:54:29.400
<v Speaker 1>to score many points against this Clemson secondary and like

0:54:29.440 --> 0:54:34.720
<v Speaker 1>a very inconsistent, weirdly pass rush from Clemson. I'm going

0:54:34.760 --> 0:54:38.319
<v Speaker 1>Clemson here. I'm going Clemson here, not because I think

0:54:38.400 --> 0:54:40.680
<v Speaker 1>DJU is going to pick on the North Carolina defense,

0:54:41.440 --> 0:54:43.840
<v Speaker 1>but I just I'm with you that the limp to

0:54:43.880 --> 0:54:46.880
<v Speaker 1>the finish thing has me a little bit spooked, and

0:54:46.920 --> 0:54:52.840
<v Speaker 1>I think Will Shipley and some timely running from DJU

0:54:53.160 --> 0:54:56.040
<v Speaker 1>I think should be enough to ultimately in the way

0:54:56.080 --> 0:54:58.120
<v Speaker 1>that they paced a you know, a comfortable win against

0:54:58.200 --> 0:55:01.560
<v Speaker 1>was it Louisville a couple of weeks ago, and that

0:55:01.640 --> 0:55:03.640
<v Speaker 1>was a Brent Doman game. I know that, But I

0:55:03.680 --> 0:55:06.000
<v Speaker 1>think I'm good with with Clemson winning this game by

0:55:06.080 --> 0:55:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Clinton thirteen.

0:55:07.480 --> 0:55:10.560
<v Speaker 2>Clemson should give the ball to Will Shipley thirty five times. Yeah,

0:55:11.160 --> 0:55:13.359
<v Speaker 2>they should just give him the ball. He is their

0:55:13.360 --> 0:55:15.600
<v Speaker 2>best offensive player. They should give him the ball and

0:55:15.600 --> 0:55:18.080
<v Speaker 2>they should let him score. It will be a hot

0:55:18.160 --> 0:55:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Knight through butter against this Carolina defense. That should be

0:55:20.960 --> 0:55:23.480
<v Speaker 2>the game plan. It won't be, but should have it.

0:55:23.600 --> 0:55:26.640
<v Speaker 1>They've improved a little bit the Carolina defense. They have

0:55:26.800 --> 0:55:27.680
<v Speaker 1>not what they were against.

0:55:27.680 --> 0:55:30.120
<v Speaker 2>That they have they have, they absolutely have. They're still

0:55:30.160 --> 0:55:32.839
<v Speaker 2>not good. Okay, they should give Will Shipley the ball

0:55:32.880 --> 0:55:34.439
<v Speaker 2>thirty five times and they'll win going away.

0:55:34.480 --> 0:55:35.520
<v Speaker 3>But they won't. They won't.

0:55:35.560 --> 0:55:36.239
<v Speaker 1>They won't do that.

0:55:37.239 --> 0:55:39.759
<v Speaker 2>All right, some other games here, if I could go

0:55:39.880 --> 0:55:43.399
<v Speaker 2>around the horn here, Group of five action is also

0:55:43.440 --> 0:55:46.120
<v Speaker 2>taking place. Let's go back, Let's travel back in time.

0:55:46.200 --> 0:55:51.400
<v Speaker 2>Dan Friday, seven thirty, CBS Sports Network, the Conference USA

0:55:51.480 --> 0:55:53.640
<v Speaker 2>Championship Game in the Alamodome.

0:55:53.680 --> 0:55:55.880
<v Speaker 1>That's where UTSA plays its home games.

0:55:56.160 --> 0:56:00.800
<v Speaker 2>UTSA by the way, ten and two this season. Yep,

0:56:01.160 --> 0:56:05.440
<v Speaker 2>your boy, big Frank Harris against North Texas North Texas

0:56:05.520 --> 0:56:08.200
<v Speaker 2>seven and five. These teams met back in Week eight.

0:56:08.440 --> 0:56:11.640
<v Speaker 2>UTSA won that game pretty good game, thirty one to

0:56:11.640 --> 0:56:15.399
<v Speaker 2>twenty seven at home. Frank Harris needed a touchdown pass

0:56:15.440 --> 0:56:17.200
<v Speaker 2>with fifteen seconds left to.

0:56:17.160 --> 0:56:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Get the dub.

0:56:18.320 --> 0:56:22.279
<v Speaker 2>This is another home game for UTSA. H I think

0:56:22.320 --> 0:56:24.000
<v Speaker 2>it could be fun. I think this could be a

0:56:24.000 --> 0:56:27.480
<v Speaker 2>good matchup. North Texas lives and dies by the big play,

0:56:27.840 --> 0:56:31.240
<v Speaker 2>which always makes for interesting viewing. If nothing more, both

0:56:31.239 --> 0:56:32.360
<v Speaker 2>on offense and defense.

0:56:32.400 --> 0:56:33.200
<v Speaker 3>That is just their mo.

0:56:34.080 --> 0:56:38.759
<v Speaker 2>I trust big Frank Harris again and UTSA again to

0:56:38.800 --> 0:56:41.480
<v Speaker 2>get win number ten in a row to get the

0:56:41.480 --> 0:56:43.880
<v Speaker 2>conference championship. I think their offense a little bit too

0:56:43.960 --> 0:56:46.280
<v Speaker 2>much for the mean Green. So I don't know about

0:56:46.280 --> 0:56:48.560
<v Speaker 2>minus eight. I don't have a read on that point spread,

0:56:48.560 --> 0:56:50.760
<v Speaker 2>but I like UTSA to get the conference championship.

0:56:50.800 --> 0:56:54.239
<v Speaker 1>Here. I think I'm going North Texas to cover in

0:56:54.280 --> 0:56:56.520
<v Speaker 1>this one. Okay, I think I could sign at large.

0:56:56.560 --> 0:56:59.840
<v Speaker 1>I should sigh large the UAB game, nonwithstanding, the defense

0:57:00.080 --> 0:57:02.040
<v Speaker 1>proved over the course of the year. They were scoring

0:57:02.080 --> 0:57:05.280
<v Speaker 1>over the course of the year. The win against Western

0:57:05.360 --> 0:57:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Kentucky was impressive. I went back and watched some of that.

0:57:08.600 --> 0:57:11.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm just I think North Texas keeps it close. It's

0:57:11.160 --> 0:57:12.359
<v Speaker 1>been a nice bounce back year.

0:57:13.200 --> 0:57:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Saturday high noon on ESPN. It is the MAC Championship.

0:57:16.160 --> 0:57:19.320
<v Speaker 2>They play at neutral site at Ford Field and it's

0:57:19.360 --> 0:57:23.720
<v Speaker 2>the Battle of Ohio. Toledo at seven and five a

0:57:23.840 --> 0:57:27.439
<v Speaker 2>three point favorite against the Ohio Bobcats at nine and three.

0:57:27.520 --> 0:57:31.000
<v Speaker 2>These teams did not meet during the regular season. I

0:57:31.040 --> 0:57:34.880
<v Speaker 2>am on Toledo as am I. I am on Toledo here.

0:57:35.320 --> 0:57:38.880
<v Speaker 2>This is a fairly even matchup on paper. But I

0:57:38.920 --> 0:57:42.320
<v Speaker 2>do think the loss of Curtis Rourke for Ohio is

0:57:42.320 --> 0:57:47.280
<v Speaker 2>pretty significant, and they're going to give the start CJ. Harris,

0:57:47.320 --> 0:57:51.080
<v Speaker 2>He's red shirt sophomore. ESPN thinks very highly of him,

0:57:51.120 --> 0:57:54.280
<v Speaker 2>dan so highly that they linked his name up to

0:57:54.320 --> 0:57:57.280
<v Speaker 2>the wrong CJ. Harris, who plays linebacker for Kent State,

0:57:57.320 --> 0:58:02.400
<v Speaker 2>also in Ohio. So so yeah, I just I trust

0:58:02.440 --> 0:58:05.160
<v Speaker 2>to lead a little bit more given circumstances, and I

0:58:05.160 --> 0:58:06.040
<v Speaker 2>got them the win and cover.

0:58:06.960 --> 0:58:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I have Toledo because of the defense here. The

0:58:09.000 --> 0:58:12.200
<v Speaker 1>offense has not been incredible, but because of the Toledo defense,

0:58:12.240 --> 0:58:14.880
<v Speaker 1>the ability to get after the quarterback, I'm going with the.

0:58:14.920 --> 0:58:19.840
<v Speaker 2>Rockets Saturday, three thirty ESPN Sun Belt Game sun Belt Championship.

0:58:20.240 --> 0:58:23.040
<v Speaker 2>They're playing it at Veterans Memorial Stadium, that is the

0:58:23.080 --> 0:58:29.520
<v Speaker 2>home field of Troy. Troy also ten and two this

0:58:29.600 --> 0:58:34.200
<v Speaker 2>past season, hosting uc NO hosting Coastal Carolinas.

0:58:34.320 --> 0:58:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah.

0:58:35.200 --> 0:58:39.160
<v Speaker 2>Coastal went nine to two, but lost forty seven to

0:58:39.200 --> 0:58:43.000
<v Speaker 2>seven last week James Madison. That is at least in

0:58:43.040 --> 0:58:47.840
<v Speaker 2>part because they are without their head honcho, Grayson McCall.

0:58:47.920 --> 0:58:51.720
<v Speaker 2>Quarterback Grayson McCall out for the year. Hence the big

0:58:51.720 --> 0:58:54.160
<v Speaker 2>points bread here. Troy is favored by eight and a

0:58:54.200 --> 0:58:57.040
<v Speaker 2>half points. I went back and checked. I was really

0:58:57.080 --> 0:58:58.200
<v Speaker 2>high on Troy before the year.

0:58:58.920 --> 0:59:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Good I should have been.

0:59:00.160 --> 0:59:02.240
<v Speaker 2>I was high on Troy because of that defense, and

0:59:02.280 --> 0:59:05.560
<v Speaker 2>the defense has not disappointed. They've now won nine in

0:59:05.600 --> 0:59:07.720
<v Speaker 2>a row. There are only two losses this season were

0:59:07.760 --> 0:59:11.400
<v Speaker 2>at app State and at Ole Miss. These teams did

0:59:11.400 --> 0:59:13.800
<v Speaker 2>not play at all during the regular season. I'm not

0:59:13.840 --> 0:59:16.720
<v Speaker 2>confident they can't cover this or really any spread, but

0:59:17.040 --> 0:59:18.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm also not at all confident that Coastal is going

0:59:19.040 --> 0:59:21.560
<v Speaker 2>to be able to score on this defense. So I

0:59:21.600 --> 0:59:24.600
<v Speaker 2>will say Troy twenty one to ten. Relatively low scoring.

0:59:24.920 --> 0:59:25.720
<v Speaker 2>I have them to cover.

0:59:25.800 --> 0:59:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm not confident, but I like the Trojans here to

0:59:28.040 --> 0:59:30.560
<v Speaker 1>win at home, as do I. I think they comfortably

0:59:30.600 --> 0:59:33.919
<v Speaker 1>win this game Coastal, even without Grays and McCall. Even

0:59:33.960 --> 0:59:35.840
<v Speaker 1>with Gray and McCall, excuse me, defense was kind of

0:59:35.840 --> 0:59:37.960
<v Speaker 1>a disaster this year. So I'm going Troy here to

0:59:38.000 --> 0:59:39.400
<v Speaker 1>take advantage and comfortably win.

0:59:39.840 --> 0:59:44.600
<v Speaker 2>Saturday, four pm ABC, the American Championship Game. It is

0:59:45.200 --> 0:59:50.880
<v Speaker 2>in Yolman Stadium in New Orleans, Louisiana. This is UCF

0:59:51.080 --> 0:59:55.560
<v Speaker 2>at nine to three. This is Tulane also, oh god

0:59:55.880 --> 0:59:58.800
<v Speaker 2>at ten and two, so many two Lane favored by

0:59:58.920 --> 1:00:00.880
<v Speaker 2>three and a half points. We have rumors all week.

1:00:00.920 --> 1:00:03.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know to what end they affected the preparation

1:00:03.560 --> 1:00:07.080
<v Speaker 2>here about Willie Fritz potentially going to Georgia Tech. That

1:00:07.080 --> 1:00:09.320
<v Speaker 2>did not happen. Brent Key of course got that gig.

1:00:09.960 --> 1:00:13.720
<v Speaker 2>But I think a letdown spot maybe for TWU Lane

1:00:14.360 --> 1:00:18.400
<v Speaker 2>week after beating Cincy. Yeah, I don't know. I'm curious.

1:00:18.680 --> 1:00:21.520
<v Speaker 2>It's a week after they beat Cincy. But it's also

1:00:21.600 --> 1:00:25.080
<v Speaker 2>a revenge game for Tulane because UCF one when these

1:00:25.080 --> 1:00:28.600
<v Speaker 2>teams played back in week eleven, so in that game,

1:00:29.160 --> 1:00:31.440
<v Speaker 2>for whatever, it's Worth was a fairly comfortable win for

1:00:31.520 --> 1:00:33.200
<v Speaker 2>UCF because they led.

1:00:33.080 --> 1:00:35.520
<v Speaker 3>Wired to wire. Yeah, they led wire to wire.

1:00:36.640 --> 1:00:38.720
<v Speaker 2>They kept two lane at arm's length, even though it

1:00:38.800 --> 1:00:42.080
<v Speaker 2>was kind of a closer final score. They rushed for

1:00:42.120 --> 1:00:45.480
<v Speaker 2>three point thirty six. Your boy John Rice Plumbly had

1:00:45.480 --> 1:00:47.600
<v Speaker 2>a monster game on the ground there and through the air.

1:00:48.360 --> 1:00:50.040
<v Speaker 1>So I hears played well though in that one, did

1:00:50.080 --> 1:00:53.760
<v Speaker 1>he not? Yeah, Taj Spears, Yep, yep. I'm going to

1:00:53.880 --> 1:00:55.720
<v Speaker 1>lane here. I'm going with the home team who can

1:00:55.800 --> 1:00:58.160
<v Speaker 1>run the ball. I'm one with the better defense on

1:00:58.200 --> 1:01:02.360
<v Speaker 1>the on this kind of stage, UCF is fine. I

1:01:02.400 --> 1:01:04.240
<v Speaker 1>don't think they can win in multiple ways. I think

1:01:04.280 --> 1:01:06.800
<v Speaker 1>they could, but I'm going with the home team Tulane,

1:01:06.800 --> 1:01:09.400
<v Speaker 1>who comes in with a good deal of momentum. UCF,

1:01:09.400 --> 1:01:11.040
<v Speaker 1>who they lose two a couple of weeks ago, Navy.

1:01:12.200 --> 1:01:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Don't love that. Navy's defense is pretty decent, but I

1:01:14.520 --> 1:01:16.560
<v Speaker 1>don't love that loss. So I'm going I'm going to

1:01:16.600 --> 1:01:18.240
<v Speaker 1>lane here to win by a touchdown.

1:01:18.440 --> 1:01:21.760
<v Speaker 2>I went UCF back then, I'm going to go UCF

1:01:21.800 --> 1:01:24.720
<v Speaker 2>again here. And there's a lot to like about Tulane.

1:01:24.800 --> 1:01:27.680
<v Speaker 2>Michael Pratts had a good year. Yeah, Willy Fritz is

1:01:27.720 --> 1:01:28.960
<v Speaker 2>the man like, we both.

1:01:28.760 --> 1:01:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Beat my precious Kansas State.

1:01:30.480 --> 1:01:33.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we both like Willie Fritz a lot. Yeah, I'm

1:01:33.200 --> 1:01:35.200
<v Speaker 2>just in on UCF in this matchup. I think it's

1:01:35.240 --> 1:01:38.200
<v Speaker 2>a matchup that favors him again, So I'll go UCF

1:01:38.200 --> 1:01:38.760
<v Speaker 2>plus the points.

1:01:40.120 --> 1:01:41.760
<v Speaker 1>I think I went chalk? Did I go chalk? Other

1:01:41.840 --> 1:01:42.680
<v Speaker 1>than North Texas?

1:01:43.160 --> 1:01:43.600
<v Speaker 3>I believe?

1:01:43.600 --> 1:01:45.680
<v Speaker 2>So here's your opportunity to not go chalk. We're both

1:01:45.960 --> 1:01:49.680
<v Speaker 2>not go chalk here. In the Saturday four pm Fox game,

1:01:49.680 --> 1:01:52.800
<v Speaker 2>it's Mountain West Championship. They played on the smurf turf

1:01:52.800 --> 1:01:55.560
<v Speaker 2>at Boise and it is Boise.

1:01:55.360 --> 1:01:56.080
<v Speaker 3>State nine and three.

1:01:56.160 --> 1:01:59.920
<v Speaker 2>Boise State, a three and a half point favorite against Fresno,

1:02:00.040 --> 1:02:02.680
<v Speaker 2>stayed at eight and four. This is a really interesting matchup.

1:02:02.680 --> 1:02:05.640
<v Speaker 2>To me, this is a fun matchup. These teams played

1:02:05.640 --> 1:02:09.160
<v Speaker 2>back in Week six. The Broncos won by twenty. Notably,

1:02:09.240 --> 1:02:11.640
<v Speaker 2>this was a game for Fresno without Jake Hayner. Yeah,

1:02:11.680 --> 1:02:14.880
<v Speaker 2>the logan five game logan five games, So Hayner was out.

1:02:14.880 --> 1:02:17.200
<v Speaker 2>He missed some time due to injury, but he's been

1:02:17.240 --> 1:02:20.320
<v Speaker 2>back for about the last month or so. Fresno hasn't lost.

1:02:20.360 --> 1:02:23.080
<v Speaker 2>Fresno has been really really good since he came back,

1:02:23.480 --> 1:02:27.800
<v Speaker 2>and this matchup, in particular to me, is really the

1:02:27.800 --> 1:02:30.680
<v Speaker 2>culmination of two great stories so far in college football,

1:02:30.680 --> 1:02:33.560
<v Speaker 2>teams that got it together and have both gone on

1:02:33.600 --> 1:02:36.200
<v Speaker 2>a run. So on the Boise side, since they brought

1:02:36.200 --> 1:02:40.160
<v Speaker 2>over Dirt Cutter to run the offense, they're scoring thirty

1:02:40.160 --> 1:02:42.840
<v Speaker 2>four points a game. The numbers have been really impressive,

1:02:42.920 --> 1:02:44.800
<v Speaker 2>especially in the ground, close to two hundred yards per

1:02:44.800 --> 1:02:48.520
<v Speaker 2>game on the ground. Taylor Green, who they installed at quarterback,

1:02:48.560 --> 1:02:51.360
<v Speaker 2>has been really, really solid. They've won seven of eight

1:02:51.400 --> 1:02:55.040
<v Speaker 2>since making that switch at both coordinator and quarterback. And

1:02:55.080 --> 1:02:58.120
<v Speaker 2>then on the Fresno side. Fresno keep in mind, this

1:02:58.120 --> 1:03:00.240
<v Speaker 2>Fresno team lost by three at the Gun to a

1:03:00.320 --> 1:03:03.760
<v Speaker 2>nine to three Oregon State team. They got destroyed by USC,

1:03:03.880 --> 1:03:07.680
<v Speaker 2>but USC might be a playoff team now, and in

1:03:07.720 --> 1:03:10.080
<v Speaker 2>the process of that lost a bunch of guys got hurt.

1:03:10.920 --> 1:03:13.160
<v Speaker 2>So it was during that spell they lost to Boise,

1:03:13.240 --> 1:03:15.600
<v Speaker 2>they lost to Yukon. Since then, they've won seven in

1:03:15.600 --> 1:03:18.320
<v Speaker 2>a row as they've gotten healthier. They're winning by a

1:03:18.400 --> 1:03:21.240
<v Speaker 2>large margin in all of those games. The defense has

1:03:21.240 --> 1:03:24.200
<v Speaker 2>played well. They're giving up like fourteen points a game

1:03:24.720 --> 1:03:27.120
<v Speaker 2>something of that ilk and they've got Jake Cayner back

1:03:27.560 --> 1:03:30.160
<v Speaker 2>Jake Cane. So I don't want to go straight chalk

1:03:30.200 --> 1:03:30.680
<v Speaker 2>all weekend.

1:03:30.720 --> 1:03:33.040
<v Speaker 3>I'm with you. I'm gonna go Fresno here.

1:03:32.920 --> 1:03:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Out right, I'm going Boise. I'm going Boise. You can

1:03:38.160 --> 1:03:42.720
<v Speaker 1>call me Sir Leonard Chockington, But what a jerk. I

1:03:42.840 --> 1:03:46.880
<v Speaker 1>know it's in Boise. It's gonna be cold about thirty degrees.

1:03:47.400 --> 1:03:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Guys from Fresno not used to that chill in the

1:03:50.000 --> 1:03:54.840
<v Speaker 1>air altitude tie. I'm just not there. I think Fresno's

1:03:54.840 --> 1:03:57.200
<v Speaker 1>a good team. I think you go defense at home

1:03:57.760 --> 1:03:59.560
<v Speaker 1>with a good quarterback, which I think they both have

1:03:59.600 --> 1:04:02.320
<v Speaker 1>good quarter But the ability to run the ball is

1:04:02.680 --> 1:04:05.240
<v Speaker 1>sort of interesting to me. For Boise, ability to get

1:04:05.280 --> 1:04:08.560
<v Speaker 1>after the passer, I just think it's lining up Broncos.

1:04:08.760 --> 1:04:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, we got one more game to talk about, dan Okay.

1:04:16.680 --> 1:04:21.360
<v Speaker 2>Patriot League action here Week fourteen college football season. They

1:04:21.360 --> 1:04:24.400
<v Speaker 2>play this one Saturday high noon ESPN Plus if that's

1:04:24.400 --> 1:04:28.520
<v Speaker 2>the thing for you. Fitt and Field and Wooster Mass,

1:04:29.480 --> 1:04:32.040
<v Speaker 2>New Hampshire at nine and three, Holy Cross across Saders

1:04:32.080 --> 1:04:35.160
<v Speaker 2>at eleven and oh I try to find a point spread.

1:04:35.160 --> 1:04:38.640
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't, Okay, which is typical when you look for

1:04:38.680 --> 1:04:42.720
<v Speaker 2>an early week point spread for an FCS game the Crossaders.

1:04:43.160 --> 1:04:47.400
<v Speaker 2>They qualified automatically by virtue of their conference win, by

1:04:47.440 --> 1:04:49.680
<v Speaker 2>virtue of going eleven and oh being ranked highly enough

1:04:50.200 --> 1:04:52.800
<v Speaker 2>in the FCS ranks. I am inclined to go holy

1:04:52.840 --> 1:04:54.600
<v Speaker 2>Cross here. I think we got to go holy Cross.

1:04:54.600 --> 1:04:57.320
<v Speaker 2>I think we got to ride the Patriot League wagon

1:04:57.320 --> 1:04:59.000
<v Speaker 2>as long as we can here to keep this thing

1:04:59.040 --> 1:05:01.760
<v Speaker 2>going throughout the college football postseason.

1:05:02.240 --> 1:05:03.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking for odds here and I can't.

1:05:04.160 --> 1:05:05.400
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't find a damn thing.

1:05:05.800 --> 1:05:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Uh No, I found something. Scoresan odds dot com has

1:05:10.400 --> 1:05:13.840
<v Speaker 1>New Hampshire as a seven and a half point favorite.

1:05:14.560 --> 1:05:17.360
<v Speaker 2>Really, that's interesting. That's very interesting because.

1:05:17.120 --> 1:05:20.600
<v Speaker 1>If you if you on hold on, this is basketball,

1:05:22.320 --> 1:05:24.480
<v Speaker 1>the game already happened. New Hampshire beat him by fifteen.

1:05:24.600 --> 1:05:26.920
<v Speaker 2>The only thing that I could find is that holy

1:05:26.960 --> 1:05:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Cross is something like a twenty five to one, a

1:05:30.640 --> 1:05:33.880
<v Speaker 2>twenty five to one long shot to win the FCS championship,

1:05:34.120 --> 1:05:36.000
<v Speaker 2>and New Hampshire is like eighty to one.

1:05:36.080 --> 1:05:37.880
<v Speaker 3>So I can surmise from.

1:05:37.720 --> 1:05:41.200
<v Speaker 2>That that holy Cross should be a pretty good favorite here.

1:05:41.480 --> 1:05:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I would think so. Yeah, I'm looking right now,

1:05:44.880 --> 1:05:49.800
<v Speaker 1>New Hampshire. Nothing coming up. Nope, spread na.

1:05:49.960 --> 1:05:51.520
<v Speaker 3>We should have been more prepared for this, but I

1:05:51.520 --> 1:05:52.960
<v Speaker 3>couldn't find it. I looked everywhere.

1:05:53.000 --> 1:05:55.240
<v Speaker 1>No, I mean that's preparing. You just couldn't find it.

1:05:55.520 --> 1:05:59.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm going cross Aders by forty four points here four points. Yeah, No,

1:06:00.240 --> 1:06:02.600
<v Speaker 1>I think New Hampson will get on the board. I

1:06:02.600 --> 1:06:07.440
<v Speaker 1>have it as something around sixty to sixteen. Sixty to sixteen, yeah,

1:06:07.680 --> 1:06:09.120
<v Speaker 1>a nice score A GAMMI outcome.

1:06:09.400 --> 1:06:10.000
<v Speaker 3>No, I like that.
