Now 38 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: I'm just kidding, We're just at three different places. But 39 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: I want to do one of our favorite segments, something 40 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: we covered, you know, at that pretty much the end 41 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: of every week. We typically did it on Friday in 42 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: the regular season, and that's Keys to Victory. But first, 43 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: David Cone, hope you had a great holidays, brother, Great 44 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: to see you, to see you too.

Really, respect, blame up, what's up guys? 48 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: Hope hope everybody had a great Christmas and looking for 49 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: to new Years for sure. Well all right, let's start 50 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: with these Keys to Victory, right And I want to 51 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 1: start with Cincinnati. And you know again I've gone back 52 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: and forth on the Cincinnati situation than being in now, 53 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: I just want them in so we can finally see 54 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,519 Speaker 1: it good batter indifferent, so that now we can actually 55 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: have something to go off of. But if I'm Cincinnati 56 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: and I'm looking at the Keys to Victory, the first thing, 57 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 1: in my opinion is you got to make special teams special. 58 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 1: You've got to win the field position battle. You can't 59 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: give Alabama short field. You can't be backed up. Alabama's 60 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: very good on special teams. They have depth to be 61 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,519 Speaker 1: able to be good on special teams, but a big 62 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: punt return to set you up to have a shorter field, 63 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: maybe a block punt, tackling them inside the twenty five 64 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: when you're kicking off or hitting a touchback every time, 65 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 1: having big returns yourself because the better turn you get, 66 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: the less first downs you have to get to get 67 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,679 Speaker 1: into scoring position. And I don't think Cincinnati's gonna be 68 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: able to line up and run the ball about Alabama's throat, 69 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: set up the play action, or just say you know what, 70 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: we're gonna win outside one on one every time and 71 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: let Desmond Ridder do his thing. I don't think that's 72 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: the formula for them to win. Another big thing we 73 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: have to look at, and the overall arching I guess 74 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: archetype for them to win is you've got to make 75 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: Bama lose it. I don't think Cincinnati can go out 76 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 1: there and just win this game just with Jims and 77 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: Joe's I don't think they have the ability to do that. 78 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,839 Speaker 1: You need to get multiple turnovers. You need to make 79 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: big plays, whether it's third down stops, whether it's converting 80 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: on third and short. If Cincinnati is able to get 81 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: to third and three and third and two and line 82 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: up and run it and have success somehow neutralize Will Anderson, 83 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: Chris Allen, that's coming back. You're gonna give yourself a chance. 84 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: Another thing is you've got to score touchdowns. You're not 85 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: gonna win this game with field goals. You have got 86 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: to put game pressure on Alabama. And I know Nick 87 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: Saban all month has been to talking about you know, 88 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: we're still underdogs, this, that and the other. Deep down, 89 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: do they really believe that? I don't know. It's kind 90 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: of been the company line. But you are getting playoff, Bamma. 91 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: You are not getting out back bull Bama. This is 92 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: not an oh well, you know, we're really not happy 93 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 1: to be here. We should be in the playoff. This 94 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: is what it's about. So Cincinnati is gonna have to 95 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: force Alabama gonna make mistakes. Is that bringing a lot 96 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 1: more pressure than you brought? Is it taking chances and 97 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: saying we're gonna bring pressure and go zero in the 98 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 1: back end without metchi and see what happens. And all 99 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: this talk about Sauce Gardner, I know he's a really 100 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: good player. He's gonna be a good NFL player. He 101 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: hadn't seen the Ferrari yet. This isn't Tulsa, this isn't Navy, 102 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: this isn't Notre Dame. They don't have a guy like 103 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: that on the outside. You are about to see the 104 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 1: real thing. And it's not just Jamison Williams. I'm looking 105 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: at lot to it tight end, at other spots like that. 106 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: So Cincinnati has to force the action. I don't think 107 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: this is a Hey, we're gonna sit back. We're just 108 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: gonna play him straight up. You're gonna have to bring pressure. 109 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 1: You're gonna have to go after punts. You're gonna see 110 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 1: some trick plays, and I still don't know if that'll 111 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: be enough. Blaine, to you, what is one thing you 112 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: would say that Cincinnati has to do to be able 113 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 1: to win this game. I would say Cincinnati needs to 114 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: stretch the field vertically and horizontally. You have to use 115 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: the entire field versus Alabama, and you lean on Desmond 116 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: Reridder in this game. I think what got you here 117 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: for in Cincinnati will not win you this game. I 118 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: think you have to switch it up. I think that 119 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: you need to get spread, you need to get outside 120 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 1: five wide and use Desmond Ritter's legs. I think you 121 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: need to lean on Desmond Redders in this game because 122 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,679 Speaker 1: you're not going to just line up and beat Alabama. 123 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen. This is your National championship game, 124 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: it is. You have to win this game, not even 125 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: not even for yourself, but to prove that you are here, 126 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: that you can run with the big dogs. And if 127 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:52,239 Speaker 1: I'm Cincinnati, I am leaning on my experience extremely good 128 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 1: will be a pretty good NFL player in Desmond Ritter, 129 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, you're going to 130 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: have to score points to win this game. You're not 131 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 1: going to stop Obama as much as you want to, 132 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: especially with Bryce as good as he's playing right now. 133 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: I think on defense you have to switch it up, 134 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: and on offense you have to switch it up. You 135 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: just can't go with the same formula that got you 136 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 1: here to win this game because it's not gonna work. 137 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: I think you completely change it up your looks everything. 138 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: I think you crowd the line of scrimmage. I think 139 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: you get Bryce different looks and that's the only way. 140 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 1: And I think you need to start early in this 141 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: game because anything negative if you're playing from behind in 142 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 1: this game. If you're Cincinnati, I think it could get 143 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: ugly early. And con my question you you look at 144 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: Cincinnati's schedule. I know they beat Notre Dame, they have 145 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: a couple of good wins, but I don't think they've 146 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: ever been outmanned this much before this season, which is 147 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: gonna be brand new for him, and that's a totally 148 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: different style of play. No, you're exactly right, And my 149 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: key to victory for Cincinnati is don't let Jamison Williams 150 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: beat you. Okay, you have been given a gift here 151 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: with Mechi being down. Now. If Bryce Young, the Heisman 152 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,479 Speaker 1: Trophy winner, who looks like he's about to set the 153 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: Alabama all time passing yards record at Alabama, which is 154 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: which is quite a feat in and of itself. But 155 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: if Bryce jot In, the Heisman Trophy winner, hits ten 156 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: different receivers throughout the game, and you, Liz, it's a 157 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: tight end, throws for four hundred and twenty five yards 158 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: and beat you, well, you know what, you won't be 159 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: the first thing he's done it too. Okay, but don't 160 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: let Jamison Williams beat you, and you stand a chance. 161 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: I agree, and you've got to limit the big plays. 162 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: The reason Georgia's they hit him like a cobra, not 163 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: a python. They didn't squeeze him to death. They quick 164 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: strike them from outside. And Cincinnati cannot let what should 165 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: be twenty yard plays go for seventy. And Jamison Williams 166 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: is a guy that can take whether it's a slant, 167 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: whether you're running mesh and he's on the short over 168 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: a short cross or whatever, take it down the side 169 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: of the line and go for seventy in a second. 170 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: Looking on the Alabama side, though it's almost the complete 171 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: opposite to me, the key to victory is dance with 172 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: the one that brought you. You don't have to get cute. 173 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: This isn't a game where you've got to do something 174 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: outside of yourself. I know Metchi's not there, but let's 175 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: not act like they don't have walking around that sideline. Hell, 176 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: a guy that nobody really knew made the biggest catchup 177 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: probably the season for Abama against Auburn to win the 178 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: game late. So when I look at Alabama from a 179 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: you know, a play calling standpoint, structure standpoint, I think 180 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: you're gonna see a lot of the same things. My 181 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: biggest thing to them would be, don't abandon the run. 182 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: If Cincinnati's gonna load the box, and if they want 183 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: to load the box and give you one on one 184 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: with Jamison, that's fine, take it. But to me, Cincinnati 185 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: is gonna make you take those shots because they're lower 186 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: percentage plays. If Alabama's able to line up, whether it's 187 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: gap scheme of power encounter and trucks, whether it's zone 188 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: scheme with inside zone outside zone zone read play action 189 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:38,959 Speaker 1: off of that, you don't have to come in here 190 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: with something crazy. I don't think Bill O'Brien will. I 191 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: think Bill O'Brien understands who they are. Bryce has seen 192 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 1: so much. As much as we talk about Cincinnati mixing 193 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: it up, okay, it's just like if I'm going to 194 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: the bar and I'm gonna been going to the same 195 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 1: bar with the same mixologist forever. I know he may 196 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 1: mix it up, but I know I'm gonna like it. 197 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: I don't think Bill O'Brien's even got to mix it up. 198 00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: At the end of the day, you've got to dance 199 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 1: with the one that watch you defensively. I don't think 200 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: you got to sit here and go crazy. I don't 201 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 1: think you gotta bring a ton of pressure. I think 202 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: you let your front four eat run your two man 203 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: on third and passing. And if they get Cincinnati in 204 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: third and six or more consistently, Cincinnati will not win 205 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: this game, and it probably won't even be close. But 206 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: if Alabama tries to get que if they try to 207 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: do things to just prove a point, I think that 208 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: could lead to mistakes. And the last thing you want 209 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 1: to do in this game is give Cincinnati any hope 210 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 1: or any life that they belong because right now I'm 211 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 1: telling you and you guys know this. Cincinnati can say 212 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 1: all this stuff, they can talk about how ready they are, 213 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: but deep down in places they don't want to talk about, 214 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: they know they watch the film. You can watch the 215 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: film and try and convince yourself of something, but when 216 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 1: you lay your head down on that pillow, you really 217 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: understand when it's just you and you. So I don't 218 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: think Alabama has to do anything outside. But on that 219 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: same token, if you're Abama, you can't just go pure 220 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,199 Speaker 1: vanilla ice cream. You can't just say all right, well 221 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: we're gonna hold everything when we have to play Georgia 222 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: again or Michigan. I think early do you take your shots. 223 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 1: You get up, but you stick with what you've done 224 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: to a certain extent. But you can't just be paralyzed offensively. 225 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 1: It's finding that balance, it's riding that thin line that 226 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien's gonna run from a play call and standpoint 227 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: and at the end of the game, at the end 228 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,439 Speaker 1: of the day, the game's gonna dictate what happens. If 229 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: Alabama their first drive is lining up running the ball 230 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 1: for four or five, eight, nine, twelve, fifteen yards to pop, 231 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 1: you better believe they're gonna ride that horse all the 232 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: way down Old Town Road in the town and go 233 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: hang out at the saloon and get ready to play 234 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: in the next game. You guys agree, Yeah, yeah, I would. 235 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:41,839 Speaker 1: I would think it goes back to this. It goes 236 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: back to you know, all the teams that say bring 237 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: out the signs, Oh we want Bama, we want Bama. No, 238 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: they don't. They never do, right, they never did. They 239 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: can say it, but they never do. And I think 240 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: if you're Alabama is one thing, just be yourself right, 241 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 1: You've been in this moment. You know what this moment's like. 242 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 1: You've been here before. It's nothing new to you. If 243 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 1: it's Alabama. I'm establishing the mind of scrimmage early on 244 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. Because if you're an Alabama 245 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: team and you can run it versus Cincinnati team and 246 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: you have Bryce Young in the pocket, they'll be guessing 247 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: and unbalanced the entire day. So if I'm Alabama, right, 248 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 1: I'm letting my players eat on both sides of the ball. 249 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: I'm saying individually upfront, my players are better than your players, 250 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 1: and we're gonna we're gonna run it down your throat. 251 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: We're gonna get four and five, and we're gonna stay 252 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: ahead of the chains, and we're gonna let my Heisman 253 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 1: winner work at quarterback. And if you think you can 254 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: drop thirty or more on our defense when we love 255 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: to see it, because I guarantee Bama will drop thirty 256 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 1: plus against Cincinnati, I agree. Killing your thoughts, Yeah, blamed, 257 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: I wrote down the same thing I had be yourself 258 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: for Alabama. Alabama, we don't stand in all of your 259 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: program because you you know, you take games for granted, 260 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: or you occasionally have a great season and win the 261 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: big one. No, we stand in all of your program. 262 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 1: Game at your games, season after season. And now it 263 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: looks like decade after decade, because you are a program 264 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 1: who never takes a single game for granted. Even when 265 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: they're not in the playoff, it doesn't matter for them, 266 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,719 Speaker 1: And that really is a testament to just an unbelievable 267 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 1: coach that Nick Saban is. And so I think that 268 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: be yourself. Okay, they're not going to take this game 269 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: for granted. And I think that Will Anderson has already 270 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 1: even come out and said that the mentality in the 271 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: locker room is that they are the underdogs in this game. 272 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,319 Speaker 1: Can you believe that the Alabama Crimson Tide and maybe 273 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: one of the guys who should have been a front 274 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 1: runner for the Heisman Trophy says that they have the 275 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 1: underdog mentality against a group of five team in the playoff. 276 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: That should tell you everything you need to know. Yeah, well, 277 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: I've never seen Nick Saban and Professor X in the 278 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: same room, So I'm starting to act and ask some questions. 279 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: But let's go scores here, Blaine, give me your Cincinnati 280 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: Bamma prediction with a score will go to count, and 281 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: then I'm gonna drop what's really gonna appen.

Okay, 292 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: little low scoring con what do you think? I actually 293 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: have thirty eight fourteen, so not too far off there. 294 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: But we're a mind now your minds tied, blada. We 295 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:54,319 Speaker 1: can come up with different strategies, for sure we will. Yeah. Look, 296 00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: I like Alabama, let's go forty eight twenty four. I 297 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: like forty eight twenty four. I think they double them up. 298 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: I think Alabama shoot, I think they have twenty four 299 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: plus at halftime. I think they're gonna come out on fire. 300 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: I think they're they're trying to prove a point. But 301 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,079 Speaker 1: the other game one that I think it's gonna be 302 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 1: a lot more competitive. And you want to talk about 303 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: an identity crisis. Look at George and Michigan, they're basically 304 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: the Spider Man get pointing at each other like hey, wait, 305 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: you're me. But starting with Michigan and con I know 306 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: you have a fantastic Michigan speech coming up. I've got 307 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: one for Georgia I think you're gonna like. But for Michigan. 308 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: To me, you have got to make Stetson Bennett beat you. 309 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, that means a 310 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: couple of things. That means you've got to stop the run. 311 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: We know Aidan Hutchinson and Joe bun all those guys 312 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: are very talented. You've got to stop the run and 313 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: make Stetson Bennett, whether it's off play action, whether it's 314 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: dropped back, whether it's ten personnel, throw them to a win. 315 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: I probably believe the biggest stat in this game is 316 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: past attempts. The team with the least pass attempts is 317 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: probably gonna win this game because both these quarterbacks are 318 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: somewhat similar in what they're able to do. But by 319 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: also making stets At Bennett beat you, that means that 320 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: you're not making terrible decisions offensively and giving Georgia points 321 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: on defense and special teams. If they're gonna score points, 322 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: you make Stetson Bennett be the guy that scores it, 323 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: whether it's making the throw. And I'm not even talking 324 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: about making throws into double coverage, just making throws that 325 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: you have to make in this game, because he hasn't 326 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: shown the ability to do that. Michigan, to me's got 327 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: to make this ugly. Really, if you want to say 328 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: the overall key to victory for this game, it's Uncle Fester. 329 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: It needs to be as ugly as possible. It needs 330 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: to be low scoring. You need to cause turnovers, and 331 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: needs to be third and longs. It needs to be 332 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: a lot of punts, and it needs to come down 333 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: to the last possession because I just don't see a 334 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: way because Alabama. Again, I'll go back to what I 335 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: said earlier. Alabama beat Georgia with quick strikes. There weren't 336 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: ten play drives the whole game, twelve play drives the 337 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: whole game. That they were just running it on the 338 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: ground at Georgia and everything else was there. They were 339 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: eating big plays with Jamison Williams, they were hitting big 340 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: plays with Metchi. Bryce was extending the plays and finding 341 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: guys down field, all right, so if you're Michigan, this 342 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: cannot turn into a transition basketball game. It needs to 343 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: be a rock fight, and you've got to make stets 344 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: in Bennett beat you through the air. If you do that, 345 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: that could lead the mistakes. If you do that, that 346 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: could lead to empty possessions, and it could lead to 347 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: you hanging around long enough to have that last possession 348 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: to be able to try and go win the game 349 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: or tie the game to go into overtime. What do 350 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: you say, Blake A couple of things here. I think, Um, 351 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: if you're Michigan, you had to sub to a line 352 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: of scrimmage jobs, so you're giving up one hundred and 353 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: twenty one average on the ground, which is so you 354 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: can't give that up to Georgia. You're gonna have to 355 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: make stets Bennett beat you. And you know if you're 356 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: if you're Georgia, you know, how many times can I 357 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: get the ball to brock Powers right? How many times 358 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: can I get brock Powers in space one on one 359 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: to give ourselves a chance? Because obviously, you know Jay, 360 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: I think you said the other day, you know, the 361 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: least amount of passes in this game, whichever team that 362 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: is is probably gonna win this game. And if you're 363 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 1: Stessin ben In or if you're Michigan, you know you 364 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: have to stay ahead of the chains almost you know 365 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: you need third and fives are less. You don't want 366 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 1: to throw it too much down the field. If you're Michigan, 367 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,199 Speaker 1: I'm trying to work the intermediate game because at the 368 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 1: end of the day, you have to have long sustained 369 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,640 Speaker 1: drives to want to be in this game. You're gonna 370 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,120 Speaker 1: have to have ten to eleven play drives. It gets 371 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: a Georgia defense, so where really that doesn't happen. So 372 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I think Michigan overall, 373 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 1: you have to stop the run, all right, you have 374 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: to stop the run versus Georgia. If you want a chance, 375 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: you have to have Stessin Bennett's arm beat you. And 376 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's gonna be big 377 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: plays on defense and specialties. Which kicker shows up in 378 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: the big moment. You know, three points in this game 379 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 1: is huge. It might as well be a touchdown. Three 380 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: points will be it can be the difference in this 381 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: game late and if you're McNamara, don't make big mistakes. 382 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: If you do make mistakes, be small mistakes which every 383 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 1: team can be most most fluent on both sides of 384 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: the ball and make the least mistakes. I think will 385 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 1: win this game. But I do think if Michigan wants 386 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,679 Speaker 1: a chance, this needs to be a twenty point versus 387 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: twenty point football game. Yeah, Kevin, what do you think 388 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 1: being the former Michigan gun slinger you are, Yeah, Jake, 389 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: I agree with everything you said. On the defensive side 390 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: of the football, Michigan doesn't stand a chance in this 391 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: game unless they are able to make Stetson Bennett beat them. 392 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,640 Speaker 1: Hutchinson and a Jabo need to get pressure on him, 393 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: and they need to somehow stifle that Georgia run. To me, 394 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: that's sort of the bare minimum for them to even 395 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 1: be in the conversation of winning this football game. Right, 396 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 1: I'm even more interested. I'm even more interested on the 397 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: offensive side of the football. What can Michigan do to 398 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: solve this Georgia defensive puzzle, because they're not going to 399 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 1: solve it the same way that Alabama sold it. Right, 400 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: they don't have a Bryce Young back there who's gonna 401 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: make huge plays down the field a way that maybe 402 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 1: Ohio State could have possibly scored on a Georgia defense 403 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,199 Speaker 1: like this, So I think to me, they need to 404 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 1: stay creative on offense. Look, they're not going to be 405 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,239 Speaker 1: able to win this football game unless they're able to 406 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: run in some capacity. But I think that rather than 407 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 1: do what they've done all season, run the football to 408 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: sort of open up some of those bigger play action plays, 409 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: they may need to take a page out of Bill 410 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,959 Speaker 1: O'Brien's playbook with what Alabama did in the SEC championship, 411 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,159 Speaker 1: which is maybe quit game their way to set up 412 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 1: the run and then use that run to set up 413 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 1: bigger plays down the field. How many ten plus play 414 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: drives can Michigan have against Georgia. I don't know. I 415 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 1: don't know if they can have any. To be honest, 416 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: I think that they're going to need a few if 417 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 1: they're gonna win this football game. But they're not going 418 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: to beat Georgia the same way they beat sayan Iowa team. 419 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: They need to stay creative on offense, and I think 420 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 1: they have the ability to do so, especially Jake, with 421 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: what you and I've been saying, which is sort of 422 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 1: we've been talking about these different teams throughout the season 423 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: who are playing with quote unquote house money right now. 424 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,400 Speaker 1: I mean, Michigan was two and five last season. They're 425 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: the first, they're the first college football team to make 426 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 1: the College Football Playoff. Was starting the season ranked right, 427 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: they weren't supposed to be here in the playoff now. 428 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: I think, look, they're going up against one of the 429 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: best teams in the country, the perennial number one all season. 430 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: They can stay creative on offense and take some chances 431 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: that say maybe other teams can't afford to take to 432 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: try and pull off this victor. Yeah. And you know, 433 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: we always talk about the importance of third down, and 434 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: it is the most important down. But when you're playing 435 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: a defense like Georgia, to me first, it's going to 436 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 1: be so crucial for Michigan to try and stay ahead 437 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: of the chains. You're not going to survive in second 438 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: and nine and second and eleven and having to do 439 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:36,880 Speaker 1: all these different things. I agree with you. Whether it's 440 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: quick game cone whether it's modified runs, I think you're 441 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: gonna see a ton of pick plays in the short 442 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: passing game. Some sprint out pick plays on maybe second 443 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: and five, just to try and work your way down 444 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: the field and keep your defense on the sideline because 445 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 1: We've talked about Georgia, it's like gravity, right. You know, 446 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: they haven't had a ton of exposed to plays, but 447 00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you look up in the third 448 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 1: quarter and you're like, how are we down twenty four 449 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: to seven? Like how did this happen? So, you know, 450 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: looking at first down and staying on schedule, staying ahead 451 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: of schedule and making Georgia have to adjust defensively, it 452 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: is gonna be huge. That's what I'm looking to see. 453 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 1: And then from a Georgias standpoint, keta victory is who's 454 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: the explosives guy? And Blaine already brought up one, brought Vowers, 455 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: the best tight end in the country. You see Pickens, 456 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: I know he's at COVID and this, that and the other. 457 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: They've got a couple other guys coming back. One guy 458 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: I think is going to have a huge impact on 459 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: this game, not just catching passes, is Darnell Washington. I 460 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: think from a block and standpoint, he's going to be 461 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 1: that extra hat, the former offensive lineman that can really 462 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 1: get you some push to open up the play action, 463 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: which is who Georgia is. Georgia is like a pitcher 464 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: with a really good fastball and a nice changeup. You 465 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: want to go out there, pump the fastball, keep him 466 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: off balance with the changeup. But you don't want to 467 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: sit there and lob curveballs up there, because you're gonna 468 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: hang a couple of them. So when I look offensively 469 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: to me, when you look at Georgia having the threat 470 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 1: on the outside, saying it any point in time, y'all 471 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 1: want to load the box, that's fine, because if I'm Michigan, 472 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 1: I'm loading the box. Why would I not. Stetson's gonna 473 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: have to beat me by making the one on one throws, 474 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 1: not the bracketed throws, not the double cover shows. But 475 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: you sure as hell aren't running it. If Georgia can 476 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: establish the run and just have the threat of being 477 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: explosive on the outside to walk that safety back two steps, 478 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 1: just two steps to keep them out of the box 479 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: a little bit, you're gonna see James Cook get his, 480 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: You're gonna see Milton and Macintosh get his. And I 481 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 1: think you're gonna be surprised, especially in the red zone, 482 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: how much they use Stetson Bennett's legs having that eleven 483 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 1: on eleven mentality, to me, that could be a huge 484 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 1: difference in the red zone. But you've got to be 485 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,199 Speaker 1: able to hit a cup. All you need is to 486 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,640 Speaker 1: just hit a couple explosives because if you do that, 487 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: Michigan's gonna have to back off. Believe I promise you 488 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 1: they will. They don't want to get out parachuted and 489 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: not have their troops on the ground. They're gonna have 490 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: to back up. And that's when you got them. That's 491 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: when you start running that ball for six seven first downs, 492 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: running that clock.

Herschel Walker ain't running through 535 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 1: that door. David Pollock's not running through that door.

That's it. If I'm Kirby Smart, I'm 578 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,640 Speaker 1: done coaching at this point. I'm done talking. I got 579 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: the dogs ready, I'm holding the leash back and when 580 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,360 Speaker 1: that bass snouts, I'm gonna let him loose in good luck, buddy. 581 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:51,199 Speaker 1: Yeah No, Look, I like George in this game. I 582 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: like him, you know. I actually think there's gonna be 583 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,439 Speaker 1: a little more scoring. I think it's gonna be twenty 584 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: seven seventeen. I like Georgia by ten cod. I know 585 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: you said you're taking Michigan money line, blame got I 586 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:10,120 Speaker 1: got Georgia twenty to seventeen. Wowkle thing two guys as 587 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: as much of an uphill battle as Michigan's already going 588 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,120 Speaker 1: to have. I'm telling you right now, if Dak's hill 589 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: can't go in this game, that uphill battle is going 590 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 1: to get a lot steeper. And where it is, he's 591 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,159 Speaker 1: not in Miami yet, he's working through some things, is 592 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,199 Speaker 1: what Jim Harball has said. I don't know if that 593 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: means COVID. I don't know if that's some personal situation, 594 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 1: but I'm telling you right now, they cannot afford to 595 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,159 Speaker 1: miss him in the secondary because he would probably be 596 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: the one covering Bowers most of the time. So we'll 597 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: have to we'll have to keep an eye on that situation. Yeah. Well, 598 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: I don't know if Michigan's got to call a doctor, 599 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 1: a priest or a shaman, but whatever it takes, you 600 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: get that guy's got to be ready to play, appreciate 601 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: whatever it takes. Whatever to doctor. I don't know doctor Quinn, 602 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: the medicine woman, she's still around.
