0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back to the solid Verbal, Boys and girls. My

0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:25.680
<v Speaker 1>name is ty Hildenbrand, joining me as always over there

0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:31.280
<v Speaker 1>in New York City, my man Dan Rubinstein, Sir Sir

0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:33.160
<v Speaker 1>big Win yesterday, huh.

0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:38.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Ty, life is good. Life is good. My week

0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:43.760
<v Speaker 2>seven did not involve me fading or disappointing teammates or

0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:49.080
<v Speaker 2>a fan base or fading away. So listen, Ty, I

0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:50.479
<v Speaker 2>can't complain. How you doing.

0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:53.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing well. So we're recording this show a little

0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:57.320
<v Speaker 1>bit later than usual because Smiling on Saturday was not

0:00:57.400 --> 0:01:01.200
<v Speaker 1>limited to just Saturday. It also stated into Sunday morning.

0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:03.040
<v Speaker 1>As we tried to record our show and had some

0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:06.760
<v Speaker 1>technical woes. We are recording this late night. This is

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:09.319
<v Speaker 1>about as late night as it gets here on the verbal,

0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:11.360
<v Speaker 1>as you and I are old men and about to

0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:15.400
<v Speaker 1>fall asleep. But before we did that, we didn't need

0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:20.160
<v Speaker 1>to do some very important recapping for again smilod on Saturday,

0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:23.959
<v Speaker 1>which we discussed on the eighteen different attempts we made

0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:29.000
<v Speaker 1>this morning, how maybe smilodon does not fully capture what

0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:30.119
<v Speaker 1>ended up taking place.

0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:34.399
<v Speaker 2>No, there were various moments during yesterday's action where I

0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:37.440
<v Speaker 2>thought to myself, should have been a sign, should have

0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:40.120
<v Speaker 2>been a sign what Auburn has looked like, maybe at

0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 2>times what Notre Dame has looked like, Perhaps what Washington

0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:45.120
<v Speaker 2>has looked like, Perhaps what Texas has looked like, our

0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Penn State should have been a sign. Saturday is where

0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 2>I landed on what it felt like in the present time.

0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Should have seen the signs?

0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:52.920
<v Speaker 3>Man?

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well it was quite a weekend. Four of the

0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 1>top eight go down all told, eight of the top

0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:02.840
<v Speaker 1>twenty five I go down. One of those weeks. We

0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:04.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of saw it coming. We saw the writing on

0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:08.640
<v Speaker 1>the wall. Maybe we should have seen the signs. Let's

0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:12.919
<v Speaker 1>get into your week seven reverbs and go from there.

0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:16.519
<v Speaker 1>Have a listen. This is Phillips from Panama City, Florida,

0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:19.560

0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:52.320
<v Speaker 1>and smile It on Saturday has already claimed the victim,

0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:53.920
<v Speaker 1>the Auburn Tigers.

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.040
<v Speaker 2>Totally eating out there inside.

0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Just got done watching the Auburn game that was bad.

0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:01.959
<v Speaker 1>She had a glass of Scotts to try and turn

0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:04.799
<v Speaker 1>all my bad feelings into good feelings. I just went

0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:07.560
<v Speaker 1>to a wedding and they did the Bok toss and

0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 1>it was intercepted, and I had PTSD from Jared Siddons

0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:19.000
<v Speaker 1>two picks against Tennessee. Oh, how about some tigers? Baby,

0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:22.840
<v Speaker 1>nobody gave us a chance. Baby, nobody gave us a chance.

0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:24.320
<v Speaker 1>How about the real Tigers?

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:26.520
<v Speaker 2>That by you Bingles Row.

0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 1>We got a call back from last week and state

0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:34.920
<v Speaker 1>that the Georgia Bulldogs do not want Bama currently, right, job,

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:42.360
<v Speaker 1>You'll always be homes me homes mere, Right.

0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 2>Is Kentucky secretly good snells No.

0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:52.040
<v Speaker 3>I was talking with my friends name and we just

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:59.040
<v Speaker 3>discovered that things might be the brule sigle of college football.

0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:00.960
<v Speaker 2>How about that home down of the week.

0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Just walk out of Jack Troy, stay in about the

0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:06.880
<v Speaker 1>party like at rock Star tonight. I think Dana Voters

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 1>in visibly lost hair during this game.

0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Texas may have won ugly, but they won.

0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:16.080
<v Speaker 1>And now they're sitting atop the Big twelve with a

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:20.000
<v Speaker 1>bye week coming up to get healthy. Texas is playing

0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:21.719
<v Speaker 1>up or down to its competition.

0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:22.920
<v Speaker 2>Great boats your game.

0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:26.920
<v Speaker 3>Great, make us sweat it out all the time with.

0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:29.599
<v Speaker 1>These teams that you should be beating with no problem.

0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:33.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's that time of year again, that time when

0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:34.680
<v Speaker 2>the Big ten eats it.

0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Well, there needed to be like a dateline investigation into

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.240
<v Speaker 1>house guys and what their tead games last season without

0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Hornybrook as a starting quarterback.

0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:43.719
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what this feeling is.

0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:45.360
<v Speaker 2>I've never held it before.

0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:48.680
<v Speaker 3>They say that it's one of those quality wins over

0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:49.760
<v Speaker 3>a ranked opponents.

0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:54.960
<v Speaker 1>After Michigan just destroyed Wisconsin, it's no big house.

0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.240
<v Speaker 3>Purdue fans would like to thank you for letting us

0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:58.280
<v Speaker 3>use the Croc bodycast.

0:04:58.320 --> 0:04:59.760
<v Speaker 1>Illinois, Go Boilers.

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:04.680
<v Speaker 4>I just watched Rutgers quarterbacks go two for seventeen for

0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:06.760
<v Speaker 4>eight yards and five picks.

0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:07.800
<v Speaker 2>I love this sport.

0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:09.960
<v Speaker 1>Yay it's one of the circle back on Nate Stanley,

0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:12.720
<v Speaker 1>really quick six touchdowns.

0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:13.960
<v Speaker 2>There's four minutes left.

0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:16.080
<v Speaker 1>I bet I can fit in two more just bodying

0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:19.599
<v Speaker 1>up as Hoosier defense. Could James Franklin even sell a

0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:21.119
<v Speaker 1>used car in the fourth quarter?

0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:23.640
<v Speaker 2>Hey, Dan is Oregon back.

0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:28.360
<v Speaker 4>And it was so great to see Jake Browning sulking

0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:32.200
<v Speaker 4>on the sideline after the game. The rivalry now belongs

0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:33.760
<v Speaker 4>to Oregon as it should be.

0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:37.000
<v Speaker 2>John Lay is happy. I'm happy.

0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Let's go don. Ucla may now be the most dangerous

0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:43.920
<v Speaker 1>one in five team in the nation.

0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Arizona. You know this is packed twelve out dark. You

0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:50.560
<v Speaker 2>don't have to light down and playdead.

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:55.159
<v Speaker 1>The cardiac cattle just barely squeaked by previously one in

0:05:55.279 --> 0:06:00.240
<v Speaker 1>four Tulsa. And I'm waiting until USF is your left

0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:03.159
<v Speaker 1>runs out. Team of the Week North Texas six and

0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:07.400
<v Speaker 1>one Bowl eligible for a third straight year. Smell it up,

0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Mean Green fans, We're.

0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:14.680
<v Speaker 2>Live for bet Rouge just wanted to reiterate that Death

0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:18.120
<v Speaker 2>Valley is truly the place where dreams go to die.

0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:23.160
<v Speaker 1>And Joe Tigers and God bless America, God bless America. Indeed,

0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:27.360
<v Speaker 1>Dan four oh eight verbal one four oh eight eight

0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:31.000
<v Speaker 1>three seven, two two five one. Kudos to our friend,

0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:35.120
<v Speaker 1>to our trusted Deputy Taylor, who actually cut up this

0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:40.320
<v Speaker 1>week's reverbs from a hotel room somewhere near Tuscaloose, Alabama.

0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:42.760
<v Speaker 1>He was at Bryant Denny Stadium for the Miszoo game.

0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:47.720
<v Speaker 1>Had nothing but kind words about the hospitality and something

0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.960
<v Speaker 1>called liquor lockers, which I was not familiar with previously.

0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:53.280
<v Speaker 1>But it seems like you'd be a good time.

0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:55.719
<v Speaker 2>I hope we got some nanner pudding. That's what you

0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:56.880
<v Speaker 2>have to do when you're in Alabama.

0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Nudding.

0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:01.520
<v Speaker 2>Nana pudding, Yeah, banana pudding. Nill away for on top tie.

0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:02.520
<v Speaker 2>You gotta get in on that.

0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:04.920
<v Speaker 1>You know what I enjoyed the most about the reverbs

0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:06.000
<v Speaker 1>this week if I could.

0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:06.200
<v Speaker 2>What's that?

0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:09.040
<v Speaker 1>The number of the sheer number of people who tried

0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:10.440
<v Speaker 1>to do the smile it on roar.

0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:16.960
<v Speaker 2>It's tough tie to convey that over the bandwidth of

0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:19.720
<v Speaker 2>a phone. It's not the proper venue.

0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:20.040
<v Speaker 1>You know what.

0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:24.080
<v Speaker 2>I love, Tye. I loved one the scripting out. Yeah,

0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:28.280
<v Speaker 2>the Rocky Top song version song got me. It's wonderful.

0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:30.560
<v Speaker 2>And I also like the fact that this is just

0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:35.840
<v Speaker 2>in general that our reaverblind is you know the Turkey

0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:38.559
<v Speaker 2>line that you can call on Thanksgiving to get quick

0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:42.280
<v Speaker 2>last minute tips to save and maybe sometimes people just

0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:44.200
<v Speaker 2>call the Turkey line be like, am I doing okay?

0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:49.120
<v Speaker 2>Is everything all right? That is what we are to

0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:52.119
<v Speaker 2>that poor USF fan who's just waiting for his team

0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:55.960
<v Speaker 2>to lose. That's what we are to you know, somebody

0:07:56.040 --> 0:08:00.040
<v Speaker 2>being excited about Purdue, which you should be, But I

0:07:59.880 --> 0:08:02.880
<v Speaker 2>like that no matter how you prepare your college football team,

0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:03.880
<v Speaker 2>we're here to help.

0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Hell, I almost called it during that Notre Dame game.

0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:09.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna lie. What did I support?

0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:12.360
<v Speaker 2>We can We'll talk about Notre Dame eventually. It's hard

0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:14.560
<v Speaker 2>to lead with Notre Dame. But I compare them to

0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:18.280
<v Speaker 2>I compared Pitt to like an elderly python. Yeah, like

0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:20.720
<v Speaker 2>Pitt just wants to be left alone and be not

0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:23.120
<v Speaker 2>that great at football. And then you come around with

0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:27.480
<v Speaker 2>your hopes and dreams, disturbing the elderly python. That is Pits.

0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:30.400
<v Speaker 2>And Pitt's gonna they got an attack everyone.

0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:31.960
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna snap. They still got a little bit of

0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:33.920
<v Speaker 1>lead in the pencil. Yeah, they want to squeeze you

0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:36.280
<v Speaker 1>as long as they can. Sure, all right, let's start

0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:38.640
<v Speaker 1>actually in the SEC because the number two team in

0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:42.280
<v Speaker 1>the country, the Georgia Bulldogs, lost by twenty points on

0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:46.000
<v Speaker 1>the road in Death Valley to LSU. I did not

0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:49.040
<v Speaker 1>see this one coming. We talked on the Wednesday preview

0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:52.679
<v Speaker 1>show in my line if I remember correctly, because I'm

0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:55.240
<v Speaker 1>an old man and I don't remember so well, especially

0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:56.319
<v Speaker 1>not just at night.

0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Yep.

0:08:57.280 --> 0:08:59.880
<v Speaker 1>I didn't see more than seventeen points for LSU here.

0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:04.040
<v Speaker 1>And it wasn't so much because I'm trying to demean

0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:08.560
<v Speaker 1>the Tigers, but look, Georgia's had a pretty good defense

0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:11.520
<v Speaker 1>over the last couple of years. Maybe they were missing

0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:13.360
<v Speaker 1>a few parts and they're still trying to figure that

0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:16.400
<v Speaker 1>out halfway through the year, but still a pretty good defense.

0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:20.720
<v Speaker 1>The Georgia offense was averaging near forty three points per game.

0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:24.600
<v Speaker 1>There were questions about the LSU offense, like a whole

0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:27.280
<v Speaker 1>bunch of different things coming together at the same time.

0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:30.520
<v Speaker 1>I didn't see more than seventeen points. Well, and behold,

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.600
<v Speaker 1>here we sit on Sunday night talking about LSU thirty

0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:37.520
<v Speaker 1>six Georgia sixteen. Dan to me, I felt a little

0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:38.640
<v Speaker 1>bit blindsided bout this one.

0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:42.360
<v Speaker 2>Are you a believer now an LSU? Are you a

0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Jarrett Lever believer? I really tried with that time, I

0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:47.000
<v Speaker 2>swear to you, I did.

0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:47.839
<v Speaker 3>No.

0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:51.720
<v Speaker 2>Are you an LSU after at home looking like they did,

0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:56.240
<v Speaker 2>making Georgia look like it did? Are you ready to

0:09:56.360 --> 0:10:00.000
<v Speaker 2>turn that page on LSU? I think you have to be. Yeah,

0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:00.760
<v Speaker 2>I think you have to be.

0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:03.760
<v Speaker 1>I think if at this point came right, yeah, at

0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:06.960
<v Speaker 1>this point, if you are unwilling to admit that LSU

0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:10.240
<v Speaker 1>was a top ten team, at worse, a top twelve

0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:13.880
<v Speaker 1>team in the country, you've got an ax to grind

0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:17.960
<v Speaker 1>with LSU. Here's the deal. Three top ten wins. They've

0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:21.240
<v Speaker 1>got a game left against Wells State. Well, okay, sure.

0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:23.680
<v Speaker 2>We can quit the time. Yes, at the time.

0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Three top ten wins not bad, not bad. I'll take that,

0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:30.320
<v Speaker 1>given where I thought LSU might be this season. Sure,

0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Mississippi State next week potentially a letdown? Who knows the state?

0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:39.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, Mississipps. I can't even say it. Mississippi State's

0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:44.720
<v Speaker 1>pretty good team. They've also got Alabama the first week

0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:46.880
<v Speaker 1>of November, which is shaping up to be another smile

0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:48.000
<v Speaker 1>it on Saturday.

0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:49.520
<v Speaker 2>By the way, Yeah, oh yeah.

0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:51.400
<v Speaker 1>And then they close out the year with A and M,

0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:54.479
<v Speaker 1>so there there's more work to be done for LSU.

0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:58.560
<v Speaker 1>But I think by beating Georgia, Yeah, if that's not

0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:01.440
<v Speaker 1>testament enough to them being for real, then I don't

0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:01.920
<v Speaker 1>know it is.

0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:06.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and that's beating down Georgia, not just sneaking by

0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:11.640
<v Speaker 2>seventeen fourteen. So the big takeaways for me looking at

0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:16.440
<v Speaker 2>this game, we're basically LSU's offense, while not some kind

0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:20.360
<v Speaker 2>of war machine monster like others with their talent level,

0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:23.959
<v Speaker 2>they make plays and one week it's Nick Brissett, next

0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:28.360
<v Speaker 2>week it's Clyde Edwards lay or whatever.

0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:29.240
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:31.959
<v Speaker 2>Jefferson's making plays on the outside. Joe Burrow, while he's

0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:34.800
<v Speaker 2>not the most accurate, he seems to be timely. He

0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.720
<v Speaker 2>is a dual threat more often than I think people

0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:41.600
<v Speaker 2>want to admit. And you know, Coacho going forward in

0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:45.640
<v Speaker 2>a huge spot to keep momentum going. And watching that game,

0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:47.840
<v Speaker 2>it was obvious to me that LSU had something that

0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:50.559
<v Speaker 2>you see from very good teams, and that is the

0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:54.440
<v Speaker 2>offense and defense and really special teams working in concert.

0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:56.800
<v Speaker 2>That the offense was taking advantage when the defense was

0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.080
<v Speaker 2>forcing turnovers. You know, when they had a short field.

0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:01.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, the defense was taking advantage of the offense,

0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:04.760
<v Speaker 2>giving them time and taking chances knowing that the offense

0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:07.840
<v Speaker 2>was going to be able to score. And the defense

0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:11.480
<v Speaker 2>playing with a knowledge of Jake from is off And

0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:13.280
<v Speaker 2>part of that is off us and part of that

0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:15.839
<v Speaker 2>is maybe some predictable play calling. Part of that is

0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:19.360
<v Speaker 2>Jake fromm just seeing ghosts. Whatever it is. I'm not

0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:23.080
<v Speaker 2>worried about Georgia long term. George is going to be fine.

0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:26.200
<v Speaker 2>Going to LSU and beating a good LSU team is

0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.719
<v Speaker 2>like something that one hundred and twenty three teams every

0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:32.040
<v Speaker 2>year is not going to be able to do. But

0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:34.760
<v Speaker 2>Georgia looked off. They just fly. They looked like they

0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:37.120
<v Speaker 2>did last year at Auburn. And I don't know if

0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:38.600
<v Speaker 2>that's just going to be a once a year thing,

0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:41.840
<v Speaker 2>and if it is, there are worse plights in college football.

0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:45.760
<v Speaker 2>But I think the majority of this is LSU being

0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.440
<v Speaker 2>just so dangerous, particularly at home.

0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:51.640
<v Speaker 1>For sure. So again, thirty six to sixteen year final,

0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:57.360
<v Speaker 1>LSU knocks off the number two ranked Georgia Bulldogs, Georgia

0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:59.520
<v Speaker 1>by the ways on by next week they've got Florida

0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:03.200
<v Speaker 1>into That'll be an interesting contest for us to preview.

0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:04.160
<v Speaker 2>Let's move on.

0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to number six West Virginia on the road

0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:12.640
<v Speaker 1>at Iowa State. The final here Iowa State thirty, West

0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:18.480
<v Speaker 1>Virginia fourteen. Just like a masterclass here for Matt Campbell

0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:22.000
<v Speaker 1>in coaching and game planning. The two big indigether, the

0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:24.440
<v Speaker 1>two things that jumped out to me. If you don't

0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:26.640
<v Speaker 1>watch this game, if you're trying to figure out what

0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:31.440
<v Speaker 1>the heck happened, go to the box score and first

0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:35.800
<v Speaker 1>look at Will Grier's stat line throwing the football. West

0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Virginia is a throwing football team. They're a thrower. Maybe

0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:40.040
<v Speaker 1>not so much a grower, but they're a thrower.

0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:41.000
<v Speaker 2>I think that's fair.

0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Will Greer goes eleven for fifteen for one hundred yards.

0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:48.200
<v Speaker 1>When you see fifteen attempts, you think, oh, well, maybe

0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:52.280
<v Speaker 1>maybe got hurt. Maybe there was like someone like what happened, Well,

0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:53.200
<v Speaker 1>there are no backups?

0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:56.559
<v Speaker 2>Non Maybe they were running for fourteen yards in attempts.

0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:59.320
<v Speaker 1>Maybe they were running the Navy offense like Koell knows,

0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:03.120
<v Speaker 1>But fifteen attempts seems off for wol Greer. But then

0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:05.200
<v Speaker 1>you see there was no backup, and then you dig

0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:07.440
<v Speaker 1>in a little bit more and you find point two. Oh,

0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Iowa State held the ball for thirty seven and a

0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:14.280
<v Speaker 1>half minutes. Oh, they held West Virginia to just one

0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:17.160
<v Speaker 1>of ten on third down conversions. That's how they got

0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:19.160
<v Speaker 1>the job done. That's how they controlled the flow of

0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:22.280
<v Speaker 1>this game, how they controlled the narrative of this game. Honestly,

0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:26.120
<v Speaker 1>if you watched it, it never felt like Iowa State

0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:28.160
<v Speaker 1>was in any danger of losing this football game. They

0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:32.520
<v Speaker 1>had control from the jump, and I thought, at least

0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:35.120
<v Speaker 1>from what I've seen of the Cyclones, this was far

0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:36.600
<v Speaker 1>and away their best game of the year. It does

0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:37.880
<v Speaker 1>seem like they're getting better now.

0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:43.840
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and quick disclaimer, tie my voice a little bit different, probably.

0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:46.080
<v Speaker 1>A little bit different. Are you a closet?

0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:46.240
<v Speaker 2>Now?

0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Where are you?

0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:49.800
<v Speaker 2>It's actually probably a better option than we ever would

0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:52.960
<v Speaker 2>have had for the first eight to nine years of

0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:56.920
<v Speaker 2>this show. I'm standing right where I was, But my

0:14:57.080 --> 0:15:00.520
<v Speaker 2>microphone keeps blipping and crackling, and we just we owe

0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:02.000
<v Speaker 2>it to the consumer to do we owe it to

0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:06.360
<v Speaker 2>Iowa State. Really tie to do better? Oh yeah, yes,

0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:08.440
<v Speaker 2>I will agree, without spending too much time on our

0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:11.040
<v Speaker 2>dumb audio issues, that it was the best game Iowa

0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:14.280
<v Speaker 2>State played all year, they were in control, they got stronger.

0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:17.960
<v Speaker 2>They now have, at least for the time being, pretty

0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:20.240
<v Speaker 2>much the best combination of things that you could hope

0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:22.800
<v Speaker 2>for as an up and coming college football program, which

0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.280
<v Speaker 2>is a coach you believe in and a true freshman

0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:28.360
<v Speaker 2>quarterback you believe in. Out of nowhere, mind you, but

0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:32.520
<v Speaker 2>incredibly impressive. The defense was great, shutting out West Virginia

0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:35.560
<v Speaker 2>in the second half. I don't think West Virginia is bad.

0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:38.920
<v Speaker 2>I know there's frustration among Ears fans, but when somebody

0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:41.200
<v Speaker 2>invites you to play football in Iowa State and in

0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:45.360
<v Speaker 2>ames Iowa, excuse me, like we tweeted out, just politely

0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:49.520
<v Speaker 2>say no, Just say oh no, God, do it wash

0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:50.480
<v Speaker 2>my hair that night?

0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, that three headed monster of Rock Party, David Montgomery

0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:59.320
<v Speaker 1>and Hakeem Butler was just ridiculous in this game. Montgomery

0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:02.880
<v Speaker 1>in particular or looked electric one hundred and eighty nine

0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:07.120
<v Speaker 1>yards ran angry, showed really good moves. And Rock Party,

0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:09.400
<v Speaker 1>who we've talked about now for two weeks running beat

0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Oklahoma State a week ago, knocked off West Virginia at

0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:16.480
<v Speaker 1>home on Saturday, still has a shot at Texas Tech

0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:18.920
<v Speaker 1>in two weeks. They go on the road at Texas

0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:23.920
<v Speaker 1>late later I guess in November. He will presumably be

0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:27.120
<v Speaker 1>the starting quarterback until further notice because he has looked

0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:30.160
<v Speaker 1>so good. Iowa State right now, as you look at

0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:33.560
<v Speaker 1>the landscape, probably sets up as an eight and four

0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:35.720
<v Speaker 1>or nine to three team, which is just remarkable for

0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Mat Campbell to be doing this.

0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:39.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the schedule actually, yes, depending on what happens with

0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:41.400
<v Speaker 2>Sam Ellinger's shoulder, and we'll get to that, but they

0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.200
<v Speaker 2>don't play them until mid November. But the Big Twelve,

0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:46.080
<v Speaker 2>the back half of the Big Twelve, and I know

0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:49.320
<v Speaker 2>they finished with a very small school a non conference game,

0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:54.800
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, what a nice, unexpected sort of mid season

0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:55.920
<v Speaker 2>shift for Iowa State.

0:16:56.040 --> 0:17:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to Oregon thirty number seven Washington twenty seven.

0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:05.080
<v Speaker 1>This one went to overtime. Another home game for Oregon,

0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:08.679
<v Speaker 1>Another big home game for Oregon. Yeah, that goes to

0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:12.560
<v Speaker 1>overtime this time as opposed to the Stanford game earlier

0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:16.160
<v Speaker 1>in the year, a much different result. What a huge

0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:19.560
<v Speaker 1>win for the Ducks here. Washington's Peyton Henry had a

0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:22.320
<v Speaker 1>chance to win it. Yes, he hooks a thirty seven

0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:25.800
<v Speaker 1>yard field goal at the gun. Then in the first

0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:29.280
<v Speaker 1>possession of overtime, The Huskies settle for a field goal,

0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:32.440
<v Speaker 1>which turns the ball over to Oregon gives them their

0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:35.520
<v Speaker 1>crack at it. It opens a door for the Ducks,

0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:39.760
<v Speaker 1>who promptly wont a six yard touchdown run from CJ. Verdell.

0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:43.440
<v Speaker 1>Again your final here, thirty to twenty seven. I didn't

0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:46.520
<v Speaker 1>watch this game as closely as I wanted because I

0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:49.720
<v Speaker 1>was worried about my own nail bier over on NBC. Sure,

0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:52.000
<v Speaker 1>but talk to me about what went on here, because

0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:54.600
<v Speaker 1>I was jumping back and forth. What was the lay

0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:57.200
<v Speaker 1>of the land up there in Eugene for this game?

0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:01.119
<v Speaker 2>The lay of the land is a people being very

0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:04.159
<v Speaker 2>happy after being very nervous and sad at the end

0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:06.560
<v Speaker 2>of the game, with Peyton Henry lining up and Mario

0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:10.400
<v Speaker 2>Cristobal ice him a couple times. It's a different Oregon

0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:13.600
<v Speaker 2>team to watch. It's a very much body blow ish

0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:15.520
<v Speaker 2>Oregon team to watch. I just saw a stat that

0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:18.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't think anybody who's played Oregon has won a

0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:23.400
<v Speaker 2>game since playing Oregon. So there your early. Yes, Stanford

0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:26.119
<v Speaker 2>hasn't correct. They lose to Utah and Notre Dame. Some

0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:29.400
<v Speaker 2>of the small schools haven't Cal loses to UCLA, which

0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:33.639
<v Speaker 2>a terrific feather in their hat. But as it relates

0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:36.280
<v Speaker 2>to Oregon, Justin Herbert kind of an off day, made

0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:38.879
<v Speaker 2>a couple of big plays. Jake Browning was definitely the

0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:42.720
<v Speaker 2>better quarterback on the field, had more time, made plays.

0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:44.959
<v Speaker 2>We saw that long touchdown pass. But I thought Oregon's

0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:48.000
<v Speaker 2>defense did a good job against Washington's offense in general,

0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:51.840
<v Speaker 2>and it is definitely strange watching an Oregon offense that

0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:54.800
<v Speaker 2>is happy to take four point whatever yards of carry.

0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:56.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what they finished at, might have been

0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:58.720
<v Speaker 2>less than that, but they were happy to march down

0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:01.080
<v Speaker 2>the field and be patient. I didn't think their final

0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:03.680
<v Speaker 2>drive and regulation was all that good, so maybe that's

0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:05.879
<v Speaker 2>where things sort of shifted away from what I'm used to.

0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:09.919
<v Speaker 2>But enormous win for Oregon. Great play call at the

0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:12.080
<v Speaker 2>end as they saw Washington and like a nickel or

0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:14.800
<v Speaker 2>dime package and to just go straight at the heart

0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:18.600
<v Speaker 2>of that defense. And it's something that is going to

0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:22.080
<v Speaker 2>energize Oregon on the fields on the recruiting trail. And

0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:26.200
<v Speaker 2>they now face a crazy trap going to Washington State,

0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:30.760
<v Speaker 2>who had a bye last week, and I like the Koogs.

0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, game Days come into town for the first time.

0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:33.920
<v Speaker 2>And that's true.

0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:36.760
<v Speaker 1>All crazy, so it's going to be quite a scene

0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:40.200
<v Speaker 1>up there in Pullman. But nonetheless a big win for Oregon.

0:19:40.240 --> 0:19:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Oregon jumps all the way up to number twelve now

0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:45.320
<v Speaker 1>in the newest AP Poll. We can't usually do that

0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:47.399
<v Speaker 1>on the show because usually we record at nine to

0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:50.040
<v Speaker 1>thirty in the morning, but being so it's nine to

0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:52.480
<v Speaker 1>thirty at night. Yeah, a little bit of a different

0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:54.960
<v Speaker 1>case here. Big win for Oregon again. In ot they

0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:59.040
<v Speaker 1>go on to victory thirty to twenty seven. Let's go

0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:03.560
<v Speaker 1>to state college. Michigan State twenty one, Penn State seventeen.

0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:07.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't care if you were rooting for Michigan State,

0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:10.879
<v Speaker 1>if you were rooting for Penn State, or if you

0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:14.639
<v Speaker 1>were just channel surfing at some point in the afternoon,

0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:18.840
<v Speaker 1>whatever your situation, this was a painful game to watch.

0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:22.320
<v Speaker 1>If you didn't have to watch this game, you probably

0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:27.439
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't have. Penn State for the second straight season, is

0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:31.439
<v Speaker 1>handed a very close loss by Michigan State. Now, the

0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Spartans have been an interesting case. We talked about them

0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:37.679
<v Speaker 1>on the preview show. They've been underwhelming this season. They

0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:42.040
<v Speaker 1>brought back nineteen starters from a year ago, and they

0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:43.919
<v Speaker 1>just haven't really been able to run the ball. The

0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:46.000
<v Speaker 1>defense at times has been a little shakier than we

0:20:46.080 --> 0:20:49.480
<v Speaker 1>expected though, albeit it's still very very good. I don't

0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:52.840
<v Speaker 1>know if Brian Wilworkie has quite been up to par

0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:57.360
<v Speaker 1>here in the early going. But Michigan State controlled this game.

0:20:57.400 --> 0:21:00.560
<v Speaker 1>They had about ten more minutes of possession, and down

0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:03.040
<v Speaker 1>the stretch it seemed like it had a real outsized

0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:05.720
<v Speaker 1>impact on that Penn State defense because they did start

0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:09.800
<v Speaker 1>to look tired. But here is the main takeaway from

0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:13.560
<v Speaker 1>But here is the main takeaway for me. And I'm

0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:16.720
<v Speaker 1>not saying this disrespect Michigan State, because Michigan State clearly

0:21:16.760 --> 0:21:21.000
<v Speaker 1>has Penn State's number. Disrespect Penn State in their last

0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:25.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty nine games is twenty four and five. Those five

0:21:25.119 --> 0:21:28.439
<v Speaker 1>losses are by a combined twelve points. This is a

0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:31.400
<v Speaker 1>thing now with James Franklin. For a while we would

0:21:31.440 --> 0:21:34.000
<v Speaker 1>make fun of them for the clock management. But the

0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:38.919
<v Speaker 1>real story here is fourth quarter management. And again like

0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:42.159
<v Speaker 1>we did against Ohio State, like we saw plenty of

0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:46.720
<v Speaker 1>other times a couple times last year, this time around,

0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Penn State had another chance to close the game out

0:21:51.359 --> 0:21:53.359
<v Speaker 1>Michigan State tries to fake a field goal in the

0:21:53.359 --> 0:21:55.360
<v Speaker 1>fourth quarter, doesn't work. It was a terrible play.

0:21:55.440 --> 0:21:57.159
<v Speaker 2>Little Giants too, That's what they call it.

0:21:57.280 --> 0:22:02.280
<v Speaker 1>Terrible play. Penn State gets the back on one drive,

0:22:02.359 --> 0:22:05.480
<v Speaker 1>they have four downs. On the next they have three

0:22:05.520 --> 0:22:08.080
<v Speaker 1>and they quickly punt it. They give the ball right

0:22:08.119 --> 0:22:11.119
<v Speaker 1>back to Michigan State. Michigan State marches the field with

0:22:11.240 --> 0:22:14.960
<v Speaker 1>a minute nineteen left to score the go ahead, game

0:22:15.000 --> 0:22:17.880
<v Speaker 1>winning touchdown. Penn State needs to be better in those

0:22:17.880 --> 0:22:21.040
<v Speaker 1>situations if they want to truly be an elite program.

0:22:21.560 --> 0:22:23.560
<v Speaker 1>This is a thing for James Frankly that he needs

0:22:23.560 --> 0:22:25.280
<v Speaker 1>to overcome, and Penn State's not there yet.

0:22:25.359 --> 0:22:28.560
<v Speaker 2>No, James Franklin is sort of the old dose Eki

0:22:28.600 --> 0:22:32.040
<v Speaker 2>Sky I guess now where he doesn't always lose games.

0:22:32.400 --> 0:22:34.879
<v Speaker 1>But when he does by one and a half points.

0:22:35.200 --> 0:22:39.560
<v Speaker 2>Boy, yeah, are they entertaining and weird? Yeah, Michigan State,

0:22:39.600 --> 0:22:41.280
<v Speaker 2>all things considered, I'm gonna give them a little bit

0:22:41.280 --> 0:22:45.800
<v Speaker 2>of respect because Felton Davis real good and pretty much

0:22:45.840 --> 0:22:49.000
<v Speaker 2>the only season weapon in that receiving corps. One that

0:22:49.119 --> 0:22:51.359
<v Speaker 2>is increasingly important when they haven't really been able to

0:22:51.440 --> 0:22:54.240
<v Speaker 2>consistently run the ball. As you mentioned, in Brian Lawurki

0:22:54.320 --> 0:22:56.760
<v Speaker 2>has been he didn't have a great game. It big

0:22:56.800 --> 0:23:00.520
<v Speaker 2>throws when it counted a couple times. But yeah, I

0:23:00.600 --> 0:23:02.200
<v Speaker 2>just don't know what to make of this Penn State team.

0:23:02.200 --> 0:23:04.200
<v Speaker 2>And the should have been a signed thing is those

0:23:04.440 --> 0:23:08.840
<v Speaker 2>first halves against pitt against Illinois, and you know, the

0:23:08.880 --> 0:23:13.399
<v Speaker 2>key moments against Ohio State where tackle somebody, tackle anybody,

0:23:13.800 --> 0:23:16.639
<v Speaker 2>And this Penn State team, it's it's a very weird

0:23:16.680 --> 0:23:20.520
<v Speaker 2>thing because the expectations were pretty high, given Trace McSorley

0:23:20.560 --> 0:23:24.719
<v Speaker 2>coming back, but with what they lost on defense, with

0:23:24.960 --> 0:23:29.639
<v Speaker 2>the gravity that was Saquon Barkley on offense, It's okay

0:23:29.680 --> 0:23:32.640
<v Speaker 2>to make peace with Penn State merely being their down

0:23:32.720 --> 0:23:35.320
<v Speaker 2>years being a pretty good team. And I think that's

0:23:35.320 --> 0:23:36.240
<v Speaker 2>what needs to happen.

0:23:36.880 --> 0:23:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Mob, I agree, and I just somebody needs to explain

0:23:41.080 --> 0:23:43.080
<v Speaker 1>to me how Penn State looked like garbage coming off

0:23:43.119 --> 0:23:43.640
<v Speaker 1>of bye week.

0:23:44.520 --> 0:23:45.879
<v Speaker 2>That's that's totally fair.

0:23:46.000 --> 0:23:47.960
<v Speaker 1>Somebody needs to explain that one to me. All do

0:23:48.040 --> 0:23:50.960
<v Speaker 1>credit to Michigan State. They played a good game here.

0:23:51.000 --> 0:23:53.320
<v Speaker 1>They got the job done. We figured if they'd win,

0:23:53.359 --> 0:23:56.000
<v Speaker 1>it would be close. And I'm not bitter about that.

0:23:56.080 --> 0:23:59.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm just very curious from the Penn State perspective why

0:23:59.680 --> 0:24:02.280
<v Speaker 1>it was in a better effort. Nonetheless, big win for

0:24:02.400 --> 0:24:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Michigan State twenty one to seventeen, going on the road

0:24:05.160 --> 0:24:05.880
<v Speaker 1>in Happy Valley.

0:24:05.960 --> 0:24:08.960
<v Speaker 2>Nice win, by the way, Just because I don't with

0:24:09.000 --> 0:24:11.359
<v Speaker 2>my my drive chart ratings, I don't like picking on

0:24:11.880 --> 0:24:15.560
<v Speaker 2>teams that have terrible drives against Alabama or Clemson, like

0:24:15.560 --> 0:24:17.639
<v Speaker 2>that's going to happen. That that is going to happen.

0:24:17.960 --> 0:24:20.439
<v Speaker 2>But Penn State in this game, and I'm using my

0:24:20.480 --> 0:24:22.280
<v Speaker 2>phone as a backup recording device, so I won't be

0:24:22.320 --> 0:24:25.680
<v Speaker 2>able to play Devorac unless you magically have a Divorac.

0:24:25.800 --> 0:24:29.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't have it on my sox too. But Penn

0:24:29.680 --> 0:24:35.320
<v Speaker 2>State going fumble, touchdown, punt, punt, punt, touchdown, Hey, so far,

0:24:35.400 --> 0:24:39.400
<v Speaker 2>so good, punt, end of half, punt downs, fumble, missed

0:24:39.480 --> 0:24:44.080
<v Speaker 2>field goal, field goal punt punt, end of game. Man

0:24:44.119 --> 0:24:46.440
<v Speaker 2>on a really ugly I mean this was pop gun

0:24:46.480 --> 0:24:51.160
<v Speaker 2>throw hel Mary so that it was rough to watch.

0:24:51.280 --> 0:24:53.480
<v Speaker 2>Luckily that was not my main focus at that time.

0:24:53.560 --> 0:24:54.400
<v Speaker 2>That was a side TV.

0:24:54.560 --> 0:24:57.119
<v Speaker 1>But well, we're going to see what happens now to

0:24:57.520 --> 0:25:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Penn State moving forward, They've got a gim win against

0:25:01.080 --> 0:25:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Rutgers for sure. But then there are a bunch of

0:25:03.680 --> 0:25:06.200
<v Speaker 1>other games mixed in, all of which could be losses

0:25:06.240 --> 0:25:09.240
<v Speaker 1>depending on how they play. If they come out and

0:25:09.320 --> 0:25:13.000
<v Speaker 1>look flat on the road at Indiana, Indiana is a

0:25:13.000 --> 0:25:16.639
<v Speaker 1>team that could muster up enough to beat him. Well,

0:25:16.880 --> 0:25:17.320
<v Speaker 1>we'll see.

0:25:17.800 --> 0:25:19.200
<v Speaker 2>We'll see that's true.

0:25:19.280 --> 0:25:21.760
<v Speaker 1>No Guinea's on that schedule outside Rutgers, so we'll see

0:25:21.760 --> 0:25:25.600
<v Speaker 1>where Penn State goes. Michigan State hosts Michigan next week,

0:25:25.640 --> 0:25:27.440
<v Speaker 1>and I'm actually gonna go to Michigan next. I want

0:25:27.440 --> 0:25:30.960
<v Speaker 1>to talk about this Saturday night game in the Big House.

0:25:31.000 --> 0:25:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Michigan wins thirty eight to thirteen in a game that

0:25:34.200 --> 0:25:37.920
<v Speaker 1>was really never in doubt, and I would say, as

0:25:37.920 --> 0:25:41.200
<v Speaker 1>opposed to the previous couple games we've been talking about

0:25:41.240 --> 0:25:44.399
<v Speaker 1>where the favorite goes out and they struggle, this was

0:25:44.440 --> 0:25:47.639
<v Speaker 1>a super encouraging win on about fifteen different levels for

0:25:47.720 --> 0:25:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Jim Harbaugh. For one, the defense remains superb. If anything,

0:25:52.440 --> 0:25:53.280
<v Speaker 1>they're getting better.

0:25:54.160 --> 0:25:57.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, with perhaps their best player sideline in Rashan Gary.

0:25:57.840 --> 0:26:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Jonathan Taylor tailback not than Taylor Thomas full disclosure, he

0:26:03.000 --> 0:26:05.000
<v Speaker 1>went over one hundred yards, but he didn't kill them,

0:26:05.359 --> 0:26:07.240
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's going to be the template for

0:26:07.280 --> 0:26:10.280
<v Speaker 1>everyone playing Wisconsin moving forward. Let him get the yards,

0:26:10.280 --> 0:26:12.560
<v Speaker 1>just don't let him kill you. And that's exactly what

0:26:12.600 --> 0:26:16.400
<v Speaker 1>Michigan did. Alex Hornybrook held to seven of twenty four,

0:26:16.359 --> 0:26:19.200
<v Speaker 1>one hundred yards and two interceptions.

0:26:18.680 --> 0:26:20.840
<v Speaker 2>And brother, it was going to be about twenty five

0:26:20.960 --> 0:26:21.880
<v Speaker 2>until garbage time.

0:26:22.000 --> 0:26:25.880
<v Speaker 1>That's right. His QBR according to ESPN. I'm not sure

0:26:25.880 --> 0:26:28.879
<v Speaker 1>I even understand what this QBR number is. Math Whizz

0:26:28.960 --> 0:26:34.200
<v Speaker 1>is smarter than me, and probably you have figured this out.

0:26:35.119 --> 0:26:38.080
<v Speaker 1>His QBR was point seven, which feels very low.

0:26:40.119 --> 0:26:41.480
<v Speaker 2>It does feel unacceptable.

0:26:41.520 --> 0:26:41.680
<v Speaker 1>Ty.

0:26:42.320 --> 0:26:45.160
<v Speaker 2>That's how I'm going to weigh in on that number. Wisconsin,

0:26:45.680 --> 0:26:48.160
<v Speaker 2>their strength had been offense. We had seen them take

0:26:48.160 --> 0:26:51.720
<v Speaker 2>steps back on defense starting with that BYU game. And

0:26:52.520 --> 0:26:57.000
<v Speaker 2>for Wisconsin to look and listen, I understand with everything

0:26:57.119 --> 0:27:00.719
<v Speaker 2>changing in the secondary and injuries and targeting call like

0:27:00.800 --> 0:27:04.160
<v Speaker 2>this was not the same Badger defense we had seen

0:27:04.160 --> 0:27:08.000
<v Speaker 2>these past three four or five years. But to be

0:27:08.119 --> 0:27:11.480
<v Speaker 2>Michigan and so emphatically in your own house after they

0:27:11.480 --> 0:27:13.439
<v Speaker 2>beat him at fourteen to seven in ann Arboro a

0:27:13.440 --> 0:27:16.760
<v Speaker 2>couple of years ago, to go to thirty eight points

0:27:16.760 --> 0:27:19.000
<v Speaker 2>with shape Patterson and the offense opening up a little bit.

0:27:19.040 --> 0:27:20.840
<v Speaker 2>We saw him with the long run. We saw Dylan

0:27:20.920 --> 0:27:24.679
<v Speaker 2>McCaffrey with the long run in garbage time. It was

0:27:24.880 --> 0:27:28.480
<v Speaker 2>another step up for this Michigan offensive line, for Nico

0:27:28.560 --> 0:27:31.520
<v Speaker 2>Collins and Donovan People's jones to get going like they did,

0:27:31.560 --> 0:27:35.119
<v Speaker 2>not huge yardage, but pace this game really well. A

0:27:35.160 --> 0:27:38.720
<v Speaker 2>complete win for Michigan and an obvious crock potting to

0:27:38.800 --> 0:27:42.160
<v Speaker 2>me because it was only thirteen or fourteen to seven

0:27:42.160 --> 0:27:47.040
<v Speaker 2>at halftime, and then slowly those flavors they melded together, tie,

0:27:47.640 --> 0:27:51.000
<v Speaker 2>they came together, they swirled in that cauldron, and Michigan

0:27:51.000 --> 0:27:53.679
<v Speaker 2>finished as went out, winning by twenty five. So have

0:27:53.720 --> 0:27:55.520
<v Speaker 2>to be encouraged if you're a Michigan fan. The back

0:27:55.520 --> 0:27:58.680
<v Speaker 2>half of their schedule is with Penn State looking down,

0:27:58.800 --> 0:28:01.280
<v Speaker 2>Michigan State's going to be super tough and Easse Lansing

0:28:01.280 --> 0:28:04.919
<v Speaker 2>they always are finishing in Columbus. It shapes up pretty

0:28:04.960 --> 0:28:07.240
<v Speaker 2>well for a Wolverine team on the rise.

0:28:07.760 --> 0:28:11.520
<v Speaker 1>By comparison, shape, Patterson's QBR was sixty two point two,

0:28:12.240 --> 0:28:14.639
<v Speaker 1>which is demonstrably better than point seven.

0:28:15.560 --> 0:28:17.680
<v Speaker 2>You don't get this these kind of math insights that's

0:28:17.760 --> 0:28:20.200
<v Speaker 2>right on other shows. You actually no, I take that back.

0:28:20.240 --> 0:28:23.360
<v Speaker 2>There are many shows that have much better math insights.

0:28:23.440 --> 0:28:26.360
<v Speaker 2>All right, thirty eight to thirteen a huge win for Michigan.

0:28:26.560 --> 0:28:28.720
<v Speaker 2>They're set up very nicely there, all the way up

0:28:28.760 --> 0:28:31.639
<v Speaker 2>to number six in the polls now, yeah in the

0:28:31.680 --> 0:28:35.040
<v Speaker 2>AP poll, deservedly. So let's go to South Bend for

0:28:35.640 --> 0:28:39.720
<v Speaker 2>a hot minute if we can. Notre Dame nineteen Pit

0:28:39.840 --> 0:28:43.800
<v Speaker 2>fourteen elderly Python, yeah fourteen.

0:28:44.360 --> 0:28:47.760
<v Speaker 1>If you look at the box score before the final

0:28:47.800 --> 0:28:52.240
<v Speaker 1>score here, I think it paints a far different story.

0:28:52.400 --> 0:28:55.720
<v Speaker 1>Notre Dame should have lost this game, Dan, They should

0:28:55.720 --> 0:29:00.680
<v Speaker 1>have lost this football game. But ian Book puts it

0:29:00.720 --> 0:29:03.640
<v Speaker 1>together in the second half. He saw right out of

0:29:03.640 --> 0:29:07.120
<v Speaker 1>the gates. In the second half, he started to kind

0:29:07.160 --> 0:29:09.200
<v Speaker 1>of find a little bit of a rhythm. They were

0:29:09.200 --> 0:29:12.480
<v Speaker 1>doing some different things on offense. It seemed like the

0:29:12.520 --> 0:29:14.360
<v Speaker 1>tide was turning. It took a while to get there,

0:29:15.080 --> 0:29:18.440
<v Speaker 1>but eventually, with five point forty three left, Ian Book

0:29:18.560 --> 0:29:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Drives connects with Miles Boykin for a thirty five yard

0:29:22.280 --> 0:29:25.520
<v Speaker 1>touchdown pass, which ended up being the game winner. The

0:29:25.560 --> 0:29:28.600
<v Speaker 1>first time actually that Notre Dame led in this game

0:29:29.560 --> 0:29:34.040
<v Speaker 1>was at the five forty three mark. Not a pretty win,

0:29:35.120 --> 0:29:39.320
<v Speaker 1>but on smile, it on Saturday on should have seen

0:29:39.360 --> 0:29:43.160
<v Speaker 1>the sign Saturday. A win is a win. It was

0:29:43.240 --> 0:29:45.720
<v Speaker 1>all about surviving advance for Notre Dame. For really, any

0:29:45.760 --> 0:29:48.400
<v Speaker 1>team that won, whether it's Florida, whether it's UCF, there

0:29:48.400 --> 0:29:51.440
<v Speaker 1>are a whole slewid teams that won by the hair

0:29:51.480 --> 0:29:56.760
<v Speaker 1>on their chin. I will take the win. I'm not

0:29:56.800 --> 0:29:59.600
<v Speaker 1>happy about how it looked, particularly in the first half.

0:30:01.080 --> 0:30:05.280
<v Speaker 2>Put on your ace of base hat and or unitard. Yeah,

0:30:05.760 --> 0:30:08.000
<v Speaker 2>did you see a sign? And did it open up

0:30:08.000 --> 0:30:11.520
<v Speaker 2>your eyes when you look at this Notre Dame team

0:30:11.560 --> 0:30:14.280
<v Speaker 2>where in two three weeks, even though the schedule looks

0:30:14.440 --> 0:30:17.680
<v Speaker 2>pretty manageable for the Irish, where you can say, yes,

0:30:17.760 --> 0:30:20.240
<v Speaker 2>it was a sign that coming into a game against

0:30:20.320 --> 0:30:24.040
<v Speaker 2>the like one hundred and eighth best rush defense, Dexter

0:30:24.080 --> 0:30:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Williams basically averaged a yard a care. You take away

0:30:27.840 --> 0:30:30.680
<v Speaker 2>that he had a long of thirteen. You take that away.

0:30:30.720 --> 0:30:33.640
<v Speaker 2>It was twelve carries for eighteen yards. If my math

0:30:33.720 --> 0:30:37.920
<v Speaker 2>this time is corrects, is there are there offensive takeaways

0:30:37.920 --> 0:30:41.720
<v Speaker 2>that even in a surviving advanced scenario that should trouble

0:30:41.920 --> 0:30:42.400
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame.

0:30:42.640 --> 0:30:45.840
<v Speaker 1>There's an offensive and a defensive takeaway for me, And

0:30:45.920 --> 0:30:49.400
<v Speaker 1>I'll start with the defense, because the defense is something

0:30:49.440 --> 0:30:53.880
<v Speaker 1>important here. This defense was caught on its heels initially

0:30:53.920 --> 0:30:57.360
<v Speaker 1>because Pitt drove the field opening drive ten minutes scored

0:30:57.360 --> 0:30:59.920
<v Speaker 1>a touchdown, and it seemed at that point from that

0:31:00.120 --> 0:31:03.040
<v Speaker 1>point forward through most of the football game, it seemed

0:31:03.040 --> 0:31:06.280
<v Speaker 1>like Pitt had control. But the Notre Dame defense only

0:31:06.320 --> 0:31:09.560
<v Speaker 1>gave up that touchdown. The other seven points came on

0:31:09.600 --> 0:31:12.200
<v Speaker 1>a kick return to open up the second half for Pitt.

0:31:12.600 --> 0:31:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Notre Dame played out standing on the defensive side of

0:31:14.880 --> 0:31:18.120
<v Speaker 1>the ball. Pitt missed two kicks, all right, This game

0:31:18.960 --> 0:31:21.880
<v Speaker 1>could have gone their way very easily, but Notre Dame's

0:31:21.920 --> 0:31:25.400
<v Speaker 1>defense really locked down, really found its groove after that

0:31:25.440 --> 0:31:28.240
<v Speaker 1>first drive. And I think knowing that Notre Dame has

0:31:28.320 --> 0:31:30.959
<v Speaker 1>that as just sort of a fallback, that they're going

0:31:31.040 --> 0:31:34.840
<v Speaker 1>to stay in games because of that defense, that's a rock.

0:31:35.080 --> 0:31:37.360
<v Speaker 1>That's a good thing to have, a good problem to

0:31:37.400 --> 0:31:39.520
<v Speaker 1>have if you're Notre Dame. So that's my first takeaway

0:31:39.560 --> 0:31:41.120
<v Speaker 1>that the defense did not collapse.

0:31:41.880 --> 0:31:43.360
<v Speaker 2>Clark lay good job. First half.

0:31:43.480 --> 0:31:47.160
<v Speaker 1>He's been outstanding. The offensive takeaway is that Pitt blitzed

0:31:47.160 --> 0:31:50.040
<v Speaker 1>at least every play in the first half of this

0:31:50.080 --> 0:31:50.640
<v Speaker 1>football game.

0:31:50.720 --> 0:31:51.640
<v Speaker 2>Great works.

0:31:51.800 --> 0:31:55.120
<v Speaker 1>It really did work, and ian Books seemed like he

0:31:55.280 --> 0:31:57.400
<v Speaker 1>was a bit rattled. He was doing that thing again

0:31:57.440 --> 0:31:59.880
<v Speaker 1>that he did a week ago where he was throwing

0:32:00.080 --> 0:32:05.280
<v Speaker 1>over guys streaking down the field. I'm curious to see

0:32:05.320 --> 0:32:09.920
<v Speaker 1>against better teams than Pitt how that shakes out for

0:32:10.000 --> 0:32:12.240
<v Speaker 1>ian Book and how that shakes out for the offensive line,

0:32:12.240 --> 0:32:15.080
<v Speaker 1>because there were times where they looked overwhelmed. And whether

0:32:15.120 --> 0:32:18.040
<v Speaker 1>it's in the passing game of the running game, you know,

0:32:18.120 --> 0:32:19.440
<v Speaker 1>that could be a bit problematic.

0:32:20.360 --> 0:32:23.600
<v Speaker 2>I will say this, that throw to Miles Boykin, though.

0:32:24.000 --> 0:32:28.440
<v Speaker 1>Who good good throw. Notre Dame wins absolutely survived nineteen

0:32:28.480 --> 0:32:32.000
<v Speaker 1>to fourteen over Pitt at home and real quick. Before

0:32:32.040 --> 0:32:35.280
<v Speaker 1>we get into some individual conferences, I just want to

0:32:35.320 --> 0:32:39.920
<v Speaker 1>mention UCF thirty one Memphis thirty. We talked a little

0:32:39.920 --> 0:32:44.160
<v Speaker 1>bit about UCS defense as it goes. It showed up

0:32:44.160 --> 0:32:48.000
<v Speaker 1>about two quarters late to this football game. Finally figured

0:32:48.040 --> 0:32:51.600
<v Speaker 1>Memphis out in the second half. It held their rushing

0:32:51.600 --> 0:32:56.960
<v Speaker 1>attack that was outstanding in the first half to pretty

0:32:57.000 --> 0:33:00.200
<v Speaker 1>much nothing in the second half. Also shut out out

0:33:00.840 --> 0:33:03.160
<v Speaker 1>the Memphis Tigers in the second half here, So thirty

0:33:03.200 --> 0:33:05.480
<v Speaker 1>one to thirty it was a come from behind victory

0:33:06.240 --> 0:33:09.080
<v Speaker 1>for UCF. We're starting to do this thing now in

0:33:09.120 --> 0:33:12.960
<v Speaker 1>the polls, where in the coaches poll UCF moved up

0:33:13.120 --> 0:33:19.800
<v Speaker 1>one to number nine, but in the AP they froze

0:33:20.120 --> 0:33:22.040
<v Speaker 1>at ten while there were a bunch of teams that

0:33:22.160 --> 0:33:25.320
<v Speaker 1>hurdled them. This is again going to be more narrative

0:33:25.360 --> 0:33:27.520
<v Speaker 1>that we have to contend with through the second half

0:33:27.560 --> 0:33:30.600
<v Speaker 1>the season. But nonetheless, nice win for UCF on the

0:33:30.640 --> 0:33:31.680
<v Speaker 1>road against Memphis.

0:33:32.120 --> 0:33:34.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, god forbid you move UCF up after a tough

0:33:35.320 --> 0:33:36.760
<v Speaker 2>road win against a good team.

0:33:37.040 --> 0:33:37.280
<v Speaker 1>I know.

0:33:38.600 --> 0:33:42.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was quite impressive, and it was the way

0:33:42.240 --> 0:33:44.320
<v Speaker 2>they did it that it was. I think McGowan who

0:33:44.320 --> 0:33:48.000
<v Speaker 2>burst up the middle on a fourth and Shorts just

0:33:48.760 --> 0:33:50.880
<v Speaker 2>doing it in a number of ways. UCF is really

0:33:50.920 --> 0:33:53.120
<v Speaker 2>good and I can't imagine anybody really wants a part

0:33:53.160 --> 0:33:53.400
<v Speaker 2>of them.

0:33:53.400 --> 0:33:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Once again, I want to go to the Big ten

0:33:55.040 --> 0:34:00.680
<v Speaker 1>here and talk about Ohio State thirty Minnesota fourteen. Another

0:34:01.040 --> 0:34:04.360
<v Speaker 1>hohum day for Dwayne Haskins. Four hundred and twelve yards

0:34:04.440 --> 0:34:08.000
<v Speaker 1>passing three touchdowns through the air. He is putting up

0:34:08.120 --> 0:34:10.320
<v Speaker 1>pinball numbers every week.

0:34:10.840 --> 0:34:14.160
<v Speaker 2>Butt correct, butt train Haskins to two.

0:34:14.480 --> 0:34:19.960
<v Speaker 1>But this one was seventeen to fourteen at half Minnesota,

0:34:20.040 --> 0:34:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Dan hung around a while, they got a good game

0:34:22.640 --> 0:34:26.120
<v Speaker 1>from Mohammed Ibrahim on the ground, Tyler Johnson in the

0:34:26.160 --> 0:34:30.680
<v Speaker 1>receiving game. You would expect a PJ. Fleck team to fight,

0:34:30.840 --> 0:34:34.399
<v Speaker 1>to be motivated. I just think the bigger takeaway here

0:34:35.120 --> 0:34:37.359
<v Speaker 1>is that the Ohio State defense needs a little work.

0:34:38.239 --> 0:34:40.959
<v Speaker 1>It needs a little work. Yeah, for the high level

0:34:41.000 --> 0:34:42.480
<v Speaker 1>of talent that they have on that team, it just

0:34:42.560 --> 0:34:45.720
<v Speaker 1>needs a little work. Granted, they only gave up fourteen points.

0:34:46.160 --> 0:34:49.759
<v Speaker 1>They shut out Minnesota in the second half. But if

0:34:49.800 --> 0:34:53.440
<v Speaker 1>we're truly splitting hairs here and talking about what is

0:34:53.480 --> 0:34:56.520
<v Speaker 1>our takeaway from Week seven for Ohio State, that would

0:34:56.520 --> 0:34:57.920
<v Speaker 1>be the thing for me. The defense.

0:34:59.400 --> 0:35:01.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. The other thing thing to me is when Ohio

0:35:01.280 --> 0:35:05.080
<v Speaker 2>State's not running, you can make it a game. And

0:35:05.400 --> 0:35:08.799
<v Speaker 2>it was a day where Weber and Dobbins just couldn't

0:35:09.040 --> 0:35:14.319
<v Speaker 2>burst through. We're not getting separation. We're not consistently getting six, seven, eight,

0:35:14.480 --> 0:35:18.200
<v Speaker 2>nine yards and a lot like those Baylor teams. I

0:35:18.200 --> 0:35:21.399
<v Speaker 2>guess from six seven years ago, four years ago, whatever,

0:35:21.440 --> 0:35:23.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't remember when they were last actually fun before

0:35:23.880 --> 0:35:27.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, everything came out. You could let them throw

0:35:27.360 --> 0:35:29.680
<v Speaker 2>the ball if you stop them on the ground, they

0:35:29.680 --> 0:35:32.759
<v Speaker 2>were beatable, and teams eventually figure that out. And I

0:35:32.800 --> 0:35:35.440
<v Speaker 2>don't know that Ohio State is on that lower level

0:35:35.520 --> 0:35:37.920
<v Speaker 2>because that defense is still going to be good enough,

0:35:38.200 --> 0:35:39.960
<v Speaker 2>and when Nick Bosa comes back, they're gonna be able

0:35:39.960 --> 0:35:42.520
<v Speaker 2>to get after the quarterback to even a scarier extent.

0:35:43.080 --> 0:35:45.680
<v Speaker 2>But this was what twenty to fourteen going into the

0:35:45.680 --> 0:35:48.880
<v Speaker 2>fourth quarter. I guess a Minnesota team who was just

0:35:49.160 --> 0:35:54.520
<v Speaker 2>drilled by Maryland. I don't know. I'm worried about Ohio State,

0:35:54.560 --> 0:35:58.320
<v Speaker 2>but I can't you know, other than I guess Michigan.

0:35:58.480 --> 0:36:02.359
<v Speaker 2>I guess Michigan and Michigan State. But I still think

0:36:02.400 --> 0:36:04.759
<v Speaker 2>that Ohio State is in a good enough position because

0:36:04.800 --> 0:36:09.760
<v Speaker 2>of Dwayne Haskins and his just never ending cavalry of receivers.

0:36:09.760 --> 0:36:11.520
<v Speaker 2>I think it was kJ Hill yesterday who went off.

0:36:11.520 --> 0:36:12.120
<v Speaker 1>It was his week.

0:36:12.239 --> 0:36:14.640
<v Speaker 2>No, you know, one week, it's Austin mac another, it's

0:36:14.719 --> 0:36:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Johnny Dixon's another, it's mclaurin's whatever. And just because they

0:36:19.520 --> 0:36:23.600
<v Speaker 2>can get that sort of instant offense, it's difficult to

0:36:23.800 --> 0:36:28.000
<v Speaker 2>truly worry about Ohio State against anybody below a top

0:36:28.239 --> 0:36:29.240
<v Speaker 2>fifteen team.

0:36:29.080 --> 0:36:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Right Iowa forty two, Indiana sixteen to our everlasting shame.

0:36:34.760 --> 0:36:37.040
<v Speaker 1>We forgot to mention this game on the Wednesday show.

0:36:37.880 --> 0:36:40.360
<v Speaker 2>We did, and I mean we talked about Nate Stanley

0:36:40.440 --> 0:36:43.239
<v Speaker 2>enough during the fantasy things. Yeah no, it covered us

0:36:43.280 --> 0:36:43.920
<v Speaker 2>for weeks like that.

0:36:44.000 --> 0:36:47.200
<v Speaker 1>But we've earned enough goodwill in the Iowa community. But

0:36:48.000 --> 0:36:50.280
<v Speaker 1>I'd love to say we forgot about this one because

0:36:50.280 --> 0:36:52.440
<v Speaker 1>we saw this coming, but we didn't. The line was

0:36:52.600 --> 0:36:55.960
<v Speaker 1>just Iowa minus three and a half something like that.

0:36:56.480 --> 0:37:01.560
<v Speaker 1>An offensive explosion for the Hawkeys, three twenty six touchdowns

0:37:01.800 --> 0:37:05.239
<v Speaker 1>through the air for Nate Stanley, the fourth straight game

0:37:05.280 --> 0:37:07.560
<v Speaker 1>where Iowa has now gone over four hundred yards of

0:37:07.560 --> 0:37:08.399
<v Speaker 1>total offense. Dan.

0:37:09.840 --> 0:37:12.799
<v Speaker 2>This is true against an Indiana defense that has been

0:37:12.880 --> 0:37:14.520
<v Speaker 2>decent enough. I'm not going to tell you this is

0:37:14.600 --> 0:37:18.640
<v Speaker 2>a superpower defense. But at this point, is Nate Stanley

0:37:19.080 --> 0:37:21.440
<v Speaker 2>right now with what he's done these past I guess

0:37:21.520 --> 0:37:24.600
<v Speaker 2>three weeks and it's not the biggest level of competition.

0:37:25.680 --> 0:37:29.520
<v Speaker 2>Is he the second best pure thrower it's thus far

0:37:29.600 --> 0:37:33.800
<v Speaker 2>this season? Is he ahead of Trace McSorley, behind Haskins.

0:37:33.800 --> 0:37:35.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean, look at I mean, I'm diving into the

0:37:35.360 --> 0:37:37.960
<v Speaker 2>numbers right now, just against Big ten teams, Nate Stanley

0:37:38.040 --> 0:37:42.040
<v Speaker 2>is probably I mean he has three still numbers.

0:37:42.120 --> 0:37:45.040
<v Speaker 1>I'll still take tray soorly in a big game situation,

0:37:45.160 --> 0:37:47.960
<v Speaker 1>but statistically speaking, you're probably right.

0:37:49.239 --> 0:37:51.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Nate Stanley had if you compare the Ohio

0:37:51.560 --> 0:37:52.400
<v Speaker 2>state matchups.

0:37:52.400 --> 0:37:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Okay, forty two to sixteen your final here, let's move on.

0:37:57.000 --> 0:38:00.759
<v Speaker 1>Northwestern thirty four Nebraska thirty one. This one went to

0:38:00.840 --> 0:38:03.920
<v Speaker 1>overtime because Nebraska blew a ten point lead in the

0:38:03.960 --> 0:38:10.719
<v Speaker 1>final five forty one regulation. For the first time in forever, Dan,

0:38:12.160 --> 0:38:18.000
<v Speaker 1>it dawned to me that Northwestern has an identity, and

0:38:18.040 --> 0:38:21.600
<v Speaker 1>it's really an identity by subtraction if such thing does exist.

0:38:21.640 --> 0:38:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Because Jeremy Larkin can't play right, he got hurt. Yeah,

0:38:24.560 --> 0:38:28.080
<v Speaker 1>that's a bummer, huge bummer. But because of that, there's

0:38:28.160 --> 0:38:31.719
<v Speaker 1>just no real rushing attack to speak of. And it's

0:38:31.800 --> 0:38:35.279
<v Speaker 1>clear that when you only manage thirty two yards in

0:38:35.320 --> 0:38:38.400
<v Speaker 1>the ground against the defense of this Nebraska caliber, really

0:38:38.440 --> 0:38:39.520
<v Speaker 1>you can't run on anyone.

0:38:39.640 --> 0:38:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Right, Nebraska's defense is the cure for the common rus

0:38:42.000 --> 0:38:42.680
<v Speaker 2>This is correct.

0:38:43.120 --> 0:38:44.680
<v Speaker 1>So now we're out of place where they're just going

0:38:44.760 --> 0:38:47.480
<v Speaker 1>to let Clayton Thorson throw at sixty four times, And

0:38:47.520 --> 0:38:50.680
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I am fine with that. I think

0:38:50.960 --> 0:38:54.000
<v Speaker 1>I want to call this the new look Northwestern offense

0:38:54.560 --> 0:38:56.840
<v Speaker 1>because I finally feel like it makes sense to me

0:38:57.480 --> 0:39:01.120
<v Speaker 1>watching it or trying to project it. We just know

0:39:01.160 --> 0:39:02.520
<v Speaker 1>that they're going to let him throw it a whole

0:39:02.560 --> 0:39:04.880
<v Speaker 1>bunch of times, and hey, that could be kind of

0:39:04.880 --> 0:39:07.839
<v Speaker 1>fun to watch. In this case, Nebraska probably should have won.

0:39:07.960 --> 0:39:11.760
<v Speaker 1>They blew it down the stretch worse starting the history

0:39:11.760 --> 0:39:14.600
<v Speaker 1>of forever. I don't know. I'm sure Nebraska fans aren't

0:39:14.600 --> 0:39:15.440
<v Speaker 1>excited about being.

0:39:15.480 --> 0:39:17.600
<v Speaker 2>They've never started zero and six. This is this is

0:39:17.680 --> 0:39:18.040
<v Speaker 2>the one.

0:39:18.160 --> 0:39:21.719
<v Speaker 1>The one. Yeah, I'm sure Nebraska fans aren't excited about that.

0:39:22.320 --> 0:39:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I still feel very optimistic about Scott Frost. A tough

0:39:26.120 --> 0:39:30.600
<v Speaker 1>one here, that'll sting for a while, but I thought

0:39:30.840 --> 0:39:34.880
<v Speaker 1>some positive signs here, just that they're seemingly playing a

0:39:34.880 --> 0:39:38.080
<v Speaker 1>little bit better on offense with Adrian Martinez. Despite the

0:39:38.200 --> 0:39:39.160
<v Speaker 1>three point loss.

0:39:40.320 --> 0:39:42.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Devin Zigbo was good on the ground, they couldn't

0:39:42.960 --> 0:39:46.760
<v Speaker 2>close it there. Overtime was was horrid to watch tie.

0:39:46.800 --> 0:39:49.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean that that fourth and one bad snap, throwing

0:39:49.640 --> 0:39:51.799
<v Speaker 2>it up and hoping for the best. It was a

0:39:51.880 --> 0:39:55.000
<v Speaker 2>painful watch the way that Nebraska lost this game. I

0:39:55.160 --> 0:39:58.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, Northwestern is America's grower. I guess just every

0:39:58.640 --> 0:40:01.000
<v Speaker 2>year they're just going to look like nuclear waste in

0:40:01.080 --> 0:40:04.120
<v Speaker 2>the first month of the season and then slowly just

0:40:04.239 --> 0:40:07.440
<v Speaker 2>chip away at everybody else on their schedule. And it

0:40:07.520 --> 0:40:10.800
<v Speaker 2>sucks to watch. Nebraska should have probably been n acron

0:40:10.880 --> 0:40:13.560
<v Speaker 2>to start the season, and they had that opportunity against Colorado,

0:40:13.600 --> 0:40:16.640
<v Speaker 2>and they had the chances and the lead against Northwestern,

0:40:16.760 --> 0:40:21.040
<v Speaker 2>but it's a it's not particularly good TV right now,

0:40:21.080 --> 0:40:21.480
<v Speaker 2>all right.

0:40:21.560 --> 0:40:26.480
<v Speaker 1>And elsewhere in the Big Ten, very quickly, we had

0:40:26.600 --> 0:40:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Maryland thirty four, Rutgers seven. And I say this with

0:40:29.640 --> 0:40:32.920
<v Speaker 1>no disrespect to Maryland, but as one of our callers

0:40:32.960 --> 0:40:35.520
<v Speaker 1>pointed out, the highlight of this game may have been

0:40:35.640 --> 0:40:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Rutgers finishing with eight total passing yards and I believe

0:40:38.920 --> 0:40:41.120
<v Speaker 1>five interceptions.

0:40:42.000 --> 0:40:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a numbers thing. And still and yet so

0:40:45.960 --> 0:40:48.280
<v Speaker 2>what you call him King Arthur, We might have to down.

0:40:48.280 --> 0:40:49.560
<v Speaker 1>We may have to downgrade that.

0:40:49.680 --> 0:40:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, two of sixteen for eight yards and four picks.

0:40:55.640 --> 0:41:01.000
<v Speaker 2>And yet, however, the math works out a UBR above

0:41:01.120 --> 0:41:05.000
<v Speaker 2>one point zero, something that Alex Hornybrook did not get to.

0:41:05.440 --> 0:41:05.640
<v Speaker 3>Well.

0:41:05.640 --> 0:41:09.320
<v Speaker 2>However, QBR has figured out. Congratulations to Big Art Sitkowski

0:41:09.320 --> 0:41:10.800
<v Speaker 2>and a QBR of one point one.

0:41:11.200 --> 0:41:16.080
<v Speaker 1>And finally we had Purdue forty six Illinois seven, six

0:41:16.160 --> 0:41:21.040
<v Speaker 1>hundred and eleven total yards for the boiler Makers. Yeah, offensive,

0:41:21.080 --> 0:41:23.000
<v Speaker 1>maybe another grower possibly, you never know.

0:41:24.080 --> 0:41:27.240
<v Speaker 2>Purdue has to finish. I mean, they go to Michigan

0:41:27.239 --> 0:41:29.080
<v Speaker 2>State in a couple weeks. They have Ohio State this

0:41:29.320 --> 0:41:33.640
<v Speaker 2>coming week. I believe, Yes, Minnesota Wisconsin. It's a tough schedule.

0:41:34.239 --> 0:41:38.239
<v Speaker 2>I imagine between Ohio State and Michigan State Wisconsin. They're

0:41:38.239 --> 0:41:39.720
<v Speaker 2>winning it. They're winning one of those.

0:41:40.360 --> 0:41:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to the acc where Uva the Cavaliers, the

0:41:44.640 --> 0:41:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Who's knocked off Miami sixteenth to thirteen. The Virginia defense

0:41:49.640 --> 0:41:53.920
<v Speaker 1>came through in a big way here. Nikosi Perry got yanked.

0:41:54.280 --> 0:41:57.279
<v Speaker 1>He was only in for four offensive series before it

0:41:57.320 --> 0:42:00.920
<v Speaker 1>was apparent he couldn't crack the code. They brought Milik Rogier.

0:42:00.920 --> 0:42:03.399
<v Speaker 1>He was a little better, but not not all that much.

0:42:04.280 --> 0:42:05.960
<v Speaker 1>I did you watch any of this game?

0:42:06.880 --> 0:42:08.759
<v Speaker 2>I did. It was on a side TV, so I

0:42:08.800 --> 0:42:10.680
<v Speaker 2>was back in. My eyeballs were back and forth. This

0:42:10.760 --> 0:42:12.680
<v Speaker 2>game was another tough one.

0:42:12.760 --> 0:42:15.200
<v Speaker 1>I felt like this is what football used to be

0:42:15.200 --> 0:42:17.160
<v Speaker 1>before they invented touchdowns.

0:42:19.520 --> 0:42:22.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there was I mean to lose a game to

0:42:22.880 --> 0:42:26.440
<v Speaker 2>a quarterback who throws three picks and to play as

0:42:26.520 --> 0:42:30.000
<v Speaker 2>well as Miami's defense did. Miami's defense did more than

0:42:30.120 --> 0:42:35.160
<v Speaker 2>enough to win this game and got nothing from this offense.

0:42:35.200 --> 0:42:39.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't think Malik Roger is It's not Rosier.

0:42:39.280 --> 0:42:40.120
<v Speaker 1>Apparently apparently not.

0:42:40.200 --> 0:42:46.840
<v Speaker 2>It's Malik Rose Rose. He is a very average quarterback,

0:42:46.920 --> 0:42:49.800
<v Speaker 2>and Perry has the higher ceiling. I understand the start

0:42:49.920 --> 0:42:55.480
<v Speaker 2>was atrocious QBR zero point one, but for Miami's offense

0:42:55.600 --> 0:42:58.640
<v Speaker 2>to not be able to get seventeen points against Virginia,

0:42:59.320 --> 0:43:02.279
<v Speaker 2>they were They were undisciplined, the play calling was all

0:43:02.320 --> 0:43:06.040
<v Speaker 2>over the place. And shout out to Virginia for winning

0:43:06.080 --> 0:43:09.640
<v Speaker 2>this game. But I can't imagine that if you told

0:43:09.719 --> 0:43:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Virginia players about what happened in this game, they'd be like, oh, yeah,

0:43:12.440 --> 0:43:14.279
<v Speaker 2>we lost by two and a half touchdowns. If what

0:43:14.320 --> 0:43:17.600
<v Speaker 2>you're saying we perform like is true, yeah we lost

0:43:17.600 --> 0:43:21.200
<v Speaker 2>by fifteen, sixteen points. It's like now you won by three. Congrats,

0:43:21.840 --> 0:43:26.239
<v Speaker 2>so happy, happy coincidence, happy uh surprise for the.

0:43:26.400 --> 0:43:29.600
<v Speaker 1>Virginia Now four and two seven five looks very attainable

0:43:29.920 --> 0:43:32.359
<v Speaker 1>for Bronco man, I like, yeah, Adam, Mini mummies going

0:43:32.360 --> 0:43:34.239
<v Speaker 1>back to a Bowl for the second straight year, which

0:43:34.719 --> 0:43:36.960
<v Speaker 1>is a good sign for this program elsewhere in the

0:43:36.960 --> 0:43:39.799
<v Speaker 1>ACC very quickly. I'm going to run through these Dan

0:43:40.360 --> 0:43:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Virginia Tech twenty two UNC nineteen. Tech was on the

0:43:44.719 --> 0:43:47.520
<v Speaker 1>ropes here. They couldn't really get any momentum. They were

0:43:47.520 --> 0:43:53.000
<v Speaker 1>giving up big chunks on defense. But I think Tech

0:43:53.040 --> 0:43:55.360
<v Speaker 1>fans are going to look at the last six minutes

0:43:55.400 --> 0:43:59.759
<v Speaker 1>of this game for a while. That final drive by

0:44:00.000 --> 0:44:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Ian Willis was a thing of beauty. They converted four

0:44:02.719 --> 0:44:05.719
<v Speaker 1>third downs, They had a heroic fourth and nine where

0:44:05.719 --> 0:44:09.920
<v Speaker 1>he was bounced around a bit. They ultimately end up

0:44:10.040 --> 0:44:12.520
<v Speaker 1>winning this football game again twenty two to nineteen, So

0:44:12.640 --> 0:44:18.480
<v Speaker 1>nice win for Tech. Duke wins twenty eight to fourteen

0:44:18.680 --> 0:44:23.359
<v Speaker 1>over Georgia Tech Duke quietly shitting at five and one.

0:44:23.400 --> 0:44:25.080
<v Speaker 1>They could end up being like an eight and fourteen

0:44:25.120 --> 0:44:27.080
<v Speaker 1>this year. If you're super optimistic, you can get all

0:44:27.120 --> 0:44:28.960
<v Speaker 1>the way up to nine and three. But eight and

0:44:29.000 --> 0:44:30.680
<v Speaker 1>four feels very very likely to me.

0:44:31.800 --> 0:44:34.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they go to Clemson, and I believe they go

0:44:34.239 --> 0:44:39.719
<v Speaker 2>to Miami, and listen, these are not two perfect teams

0:44:40.040 --> 0:44:45.520
<v Speaker 2>Miami and Clemson. I like Duke, I don't believe enthusiastically

0:44:45.520 --> 0:44:47.760
<v Speaker 2>in them. But yeah, eight and four, nine and three,

0:44:48.239 --> 0:44:51.200
<v Speaker 2>with this schedule, how would shaping up? You can't convince

0:44:51.280 --> 0:44:52.840
<v Speaker 2>me dramatically otherwise.

0:44:53.600 --> 0:44:59.360
<v Speaker 1>And finally, Boston College thirty eight Louisville twenty. AJ Dillon

0:45:00.400 --> 0:45:03.400
<v Speaker 1>actually still out because of injury for Boston College, but

0:45:03.400 --> 0:45:07.759
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't really matter because they played Louisville. Have the

0:45:07.880 --> 0:45:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Jeff bram to Louisville rumors started yet? Just asking First, I.

0:45:11.520 --> 0:45:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Don't know what I don't know what the buyout of

0:45:14.280 --> 0:45:17.000
<v Speaker 2>his contract looks like. And by the way, that means

0:45:17.400 --> 0:45:21.480
<v Speaker 2>brom and I think Petrino's contract might be kind of

0:45:21.600 --> 0:45:25.360
<v Speaker 2>difficult to lift and separate, so it might be another

0:45:25.440 --> 0:45:28.840
<v Speaker 2>year before Louisville's able to move on. But Louisville's a

0:45:28.920 --> 0:45:32.319
<v Speaker 2>nightmare and BC, by the way they stomp them on,

0:45:32.360 --> 0:45:37.279
<v Speaker 2>They killed them over and over again, and so it

0:45:37.400 --> 0:45:40.560
<v Speaker 2>is amazing. And people that pay closer to attention to

0:45:40.600 --> 0:45:43.160
<v Speaker 2>Louisville football surely will know better than I or you

0:45:43.320 --> 0:45:45.640
<v Speaker 2>or whoever looking at this game somewhat from afar. I

0:45:45.680 --> 0:45:49.480
<v Speaker 2>did not watch much of this game, but Bobby Patrino

0:45:49.560 --> 0:45:53.680
<v Speaker 2>teams they'll fall off a cliff. They don't They don't slide.

0:45:54.360 --> 0:45:59.880
<v Speaker 2>It's it's what is it? Thelman Louise, Yeah, it's uh.

0:46:00.680 --> 0:46:03.120
<v Speaker 2>It sucks to see because there is still a good

0:46:03.200 --> 0:46:06.040
<v Speaker 2>amount of talent on this Louisville team. I really like

0:46:06.120 --> 0:46:08.280
<v Speaker 2>their receiving corps. I like a couple of their backs,

0:46:08.680 --> 0:46:11.520
<v Speaker 2>and I know we've both felt that Puma pass was

0:46:11.560 --> 0:46:12.840
<v Speaker 2>going to be I mean, he's not going to be

0:46:12.920 --> 0:46:15.279
<v Speaker 2>Lamar Jackson, but thought he would be put in a

0:46:15.320 --> 0:46:18.120
<v Speaker 2>better position to succeed and make more plays than he has.

0:46:18.440 --> 0:46:24.120
<v Speaker 1>Let's move over to the SEC. Florida thirty seven Vanderbilt

0:46:24.200 --> 0:46:29.799
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven at nice little front door cover here, Dan So,

0:46:29.920 --> 0:46:34.160
<v Speaker 1>the Gators trailed twenty one thirteen and a half. Vandy

0:46:34.640 --> 0:46:37.680
<v Speaker 1>seemed to be having a lot of success, but in

0:46:37.719 --> 0:46:38.560
<v Speaker 1>the second half.

0:46:38.320 --> 0:46:40.480
<v Speaker 2>That was that was a happy twenty one thirteen.

0:46:40.120 --> 0:46:42.000
<v Speaker 1>But it was so very happy. It was twenty one three,

0:46:42.360 --> 0:46:46.480
<v Speaker 1>very quick for sure. In the second half, Florida imposed

0:46:46.520 --> 0:46:50.400
<v Speaker 1>its will. They outscored Andy twenty four to six. It was,

0:46:50.719 --> 0:46:54.680
<v Speaker 1>if nothing else, a sloppy let down win for Florida,

0:46:55.200 --> 0:46:58.560
<v Speaker 1>but again on a weekend that was all about surviving

0:46:59.000 --> 0:47:01.680
<v Speaker 1>and advancing. What do they say, you don't have to

0:47:01.719 --> 0:47:03.960
<v Speaker 1>be faster than the bear, just faster than your buddy.

0:47:04.760 --> 0:47:07.800
<v Speaker 1>And that's where we stood with this Florida Vandy game.

0:47:08.160 --> 0:47:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Florida has Georgia in two weeks. As we said earlier

0:47:11.880 --> 0:47:16.280
<v Speaker 1>that game, I am. I'm eager to get your thoughts

0:47:16.280 --> 0:47:18.759
<v Speaker 1>on that game when the time comes. But for now,

0:47:19.719 --> 0:47:20.640
<v Speaker 1>nice win for Florida.

0:47:21.440 --> 0:47:23.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I think it's it's time to start making

0:47:23.440 --> 0:47:27.240
<v Speaker 2>peace with Florida's offense taking steps in the right direction.

0:47:27.360 --> 0:47:30.799
<v Speaker 2>Felipe Frank's making plays. Michael p Ryan is probably one

0:47:30.840 --> 0:47:33.239
<v Speaker 2>of the what three, four or five best running backs

0:47:33.239 --> 0:47:33.920
<v Speaker 2>in the SEC.

0:47:34.160 --> 0:47:35.439
<v Speaker 1>Good likes real good.

0:47:35.480 --> 0:47:39.480
<v Speaker 2>There is a rhythm to Florida that we haven't really seen. Granted,

0:47:39.640 --> 0:47:42.680
<v Speaker 2>yes it's Vandy. Yes Florida should have been them forty

0:47:42.680 --> 0:47:45.839
<v Speaker 2>five to ten, but they Florida hasn't been a team

0:47:45.920 --> 0:47:48.120
<v Speaker 2>to come back when they've gone down big these past

0:47:48.120 --> 0:47:52.080
<v Speaker 2>few years. And so I really am I am believing

0:47:52.120 --> 0:47:55.160
<v Speaker 2>that games like these can ultimately be an indicator in

0:47:55.239 --> 0:47:57.000
<v Speaker 2>the in the sort of big picture of Florida.

0:47:57.080 --> 0:48:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee thirty Auburn twenty four. First things, first, congrats to Tennessee.

0:48:03.200 --> 0:48:05.080
<v Speaker 1>Nice win. They went on the road, they got the

0:48:05.280 --> 0:48:10.920
<v Speaker 1>w they rallied they broke their eleven game SEC losing streak,

0:48:11.680 --> 0:48:15.000
<v Speaker 1>and so all of that taken in tandem, to me,

0:48:15.120 --> 0:48:18.360
<v Speaker 1>that represents a clear sign of progress for Jeremy Pruett

0:48:18.360 --> 0:48:21.919
<v Speaker 1>in this program. Jared Wuarrntano picked Auburn.

0:48:21.600 --> 0:48:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Apart, oh my gosh, surgical.

0:48:24.520 --> 0:48:27.840
<v Speaker 1>He picked them apart. He didn't turn the ball over defensively.

0:48:28.960 --> 0:48:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee forced Jared Stidham to turn it over three times.

0:48:32.120 --> 0:48:34.759
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee came to play in this football game, so good

0:48:34.840 --> 0:48:38.960
<v Speaker 1>fitod for good for Big Orange. That being said, we

0:48:39.040 --> 0:48:40.839
<v Speaker 1>may be at a point where Auburn could come off

0:48:40.880 --> 0:48:42.440
<v Speaker 1>the tracks pretty quickly here, Dan.

0:48:43.480 --> 0:48:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is this is a Tennessee team that Auburn

0:48:48.360 --> 0:48:52.920
<v Speaker 2>should be yes at home with a healthy Jarrett Stidham with.

0:48:53.200 --> 0:48:56.480
<v Speaker 2>I understand the offensive line issues, I understand the running

0:48:56.560 --> 0:48:59.360
<v Speaker 2>game issues. I understand the injuries in the second and

0:48:59.400 --> 0:49:02.560
<v Speaker 2>the excuse me in the receiving corps. But this is

0:49:02.600 --> 0:49:05.000
<v Speaker 2>an Auburn team that should be beating a Tennessee team

0:49:05.040 --> 0:49:07.600
<v Speaker 2>at home. I don't know what's happened to this offense.

0:49:07.640 --> 0:49:10.920
<v Speaker 2>I watched a chunk of this game Tennessee just there

0:49:11.000 --> 0:49:13.560
<v Speaker 2>was more fight to Tennessee. There was more spirit to

0:49:13.600 --> 0:49:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Tennessee on both sides of the ball. And it's a

0:49:15.600 --> 0:49:18.480
<v Speaker 2>positive way. When I say it should have been a sign,

0:49:18.800 --> 0:49:21.080
<v Speaker 2>it should have been a sign seeing how Tennessee played

0:49:21.120 --> 0:49:23.040
<v Speaker 2>even in losses. The Florida game was ugly and the

0:49:23.040 --> 0:49:25.600
<v Speaker 2>crazy amount of turnovers, But you know the way they

0:49:25.640 --> 0:49:29.960
<v Speaker 2>did play to play, to play against Georgia, the way

0:49:29.960 --> 0:49:31.879
<v Speaker 2>that they have fought, the way that they have looked

0:49:31.920 --> 0:49:33.600
<v Speaker 2>like they've had more belief than they have in the

0:49:33.640 --> 0:49:38.080
<v Speaker 2>recent years under Butch Davis. I am. I'm not buying low,

0:49:38.360 --> 0:49:40.480
<v Speaker 2>but I am encouraged right now by Tennessee.

0:49:40.680 --> 0:49:42.719
<v Speaker 1>Next week, Auburn is on the road at Ole Miss.

0:49:42.719 --> 0:49:45.319
<v Speaker 1>They're only a three and a half point favorite, and

0:49:45.400 --> 0:49:48.280
<v Speaker 1>they're on by before a game against A and M.

0:49:48.560 --> 0:49:51.000
<v Speaker 1>They also play on the road at Georgia, on the

0:49:51.040 --> 0:49:55.120
<v Speaker 1>road at Bama in November. Yes, and ain't getting any

0:49:55.120 --> 0:49:58.560
<v Speaker 1>easier for the Tigers. See which direction they had now

0:49:58.600 --> 0:50:02.520
<v Speaker 1>moving forward? So in the SEC A and M knocks

0:50:02.600 --> 0:50:05.839
<v Speaker 1>off South Carolina on the road twenty six to twenty three.

0:50:06.360 --> 0:50:08.560
<v Speaker 1>A and M held the ball for forty one minutes

0:50:08.600 --> 0:50:10.680
<v Speaker 1>and twenty nine seconds in this football game, Dan.

0:50:12.080 --> 0:50:17.480
<v Speaker 2>They did, and the offensive line isn't great right now

0:50:17.560 --> 0:50:19.520
<v Speaker 2>for Yan M. But it's okay, they've already played Alabama.

0:50:19.560 --> 0:50:21.320
<v Speaker 2>I was impressed with Kellen Mond in this game. I

0:50:21.400 --> 0:50:24.960
<v Speaker 2>figured Travon Williams would do more against the South Carolina front.

0:50:25.040 --> 0:50:27.879
<v Speaker 2>But still impressive all things considered. In a let down

0:50:27.880 --> 0:50:31.360
<v Speaker 2>A potential letdown spot after the overtime win against Kentucky,

0:50:31.760 --> 0:50:35.239
<v Speaker 2>did you see I think it's Jace Sternberg, the big

0:50:35.280 --> 0:50:38.680
<v Speaker 2>tight end for A and M just dragging the South

0:50:38.719 --> 0:50:39.520
<v Speaker 2>Carolina safe.

0:50:39.520 --> 0:50:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Amazing.

0:50:40.040 --> 0:50:42.680
<v Speaker 2>Have you ever dragged anything for thirty yards, let alone

0:50:42.719 --> 0:50:48.440
<v Speaker 2>a human? Wow? So yes. I think Kendrick Rodgers is

0:50:48.480 --> 0:50:50.840
<v Speaker 2>still hurt, is out with the bump foot. So impressive

0:50:50.880 --> 0:50:53.600
<v Speaker 2>for A and M to have the slack picked up

0:50:53.600 --> 0:50:56.200
<v Speaker 2>by a couple other guys. A good survive in advance.

0:50:56.320 --> 0:50:58.840
<v Speaker 2>Use that term earlier for texts A and M with

0:50:59.000 --> 0:51:02.400
<v Speaker 2>moments that weren't great, especially for that defense another and

0:51:02.560 --> 0:51:05.240
<v Speaker 2>if you can believe it, another targeting call for Donovan Wilson.

0:51:05.719 --> 0:51:08.960
<v Speaker 2>But A and M you can see the pieces coming together.

0:51:09.440 --> 0:51:13.840
<v Speaker 1>You mentioned Alabama. Alabama wins by a thirty nine to

0:51:14.000 --> 0:51:17.480
<v Speaker 1>ten score. The story coming out of this game was

0:51:17.560 --> 0:51:22.120
<v Speaker 1>to a tongue of Aya LOOA tongue about reaggravating his knee.

0:51:22.160 --> 0:51:25.400
<v Speaker 1>He had a niece brain he reaggravated. It doesn't seem

0:51:25.520 --> 0:51:28.759
<v Speaker 1>like it's anything serious, but that will be the main

0:51:28.880 --> 0:51:32.680
<v Speaker 1>thing to watch now as we progress forward through the

0:51:32.719 --> 0:51:37.719
<v Speaker 1>rest of Alabama's season. Otherwise, you know, Alabama just Hoham

0:51:37.800 --> 0:51:40.600
<v Speaker 1>picked off Drew Lock's very first pass of the game

0:51:41.160 --> 0:51:45.200
<v Speaker 1>and sort of set the tone a twenty nine point win.

0:51:46.560 --> 0:51:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Not really that much to add dan. They looked impressive

0:51:48.880 --> 0:51:49.279
<v Speaker 1>as ever.

0:51:50.400 --> 0:51:55.480
<v Speaker 2>I liked Miszoo's all of Mazoo's touchdown drive not drives.

0:51:55.719 --> 0:51:58.040
<v Speaker 2>I liked their early drive. They scripted together a nice

0:51:58.440 --> 0:52:01.680
<v Speaker 2>few plays to score the two. A thing is not

0:52:02.200 --> 0:52:05.640
<v Speaker 2>terribly concerning right now. I hope everything is all right.

0:52:05.719 --> 0:52:07.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't know which knee it is. I think he

0:52:07.800 --> 0:52:09.520
<v Speaker 2>was wearing a brace in the first half, and then

0:52:09.520 --> 0:52:12.560
<v Speaker 2>that came off, and you had tweeted out at a

0:52:12.560 --> 0:52:15.719
<v Speaker 2>certain point, Tie that when will the Earth finally rid

0:52:15.760 --> 0:52:20.600
<v Speaker 2>itself of every medical and legal TV show idea? Yeah,

0:52:21.640 --> 0:52:22.640
<v Speaker 2>you know what they haven't done.

0:52:23.600 --> 0:52:32.040
<v Speaker 4>Sports Trainer is fall no ABC, the medical tent, medicine

0:52:32.080 --> 0:52:34.400
<v Speaker 4>in a ten x ten square foot space.

0:52:36.520 --> 0:52:39.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's there was I mean to his mom came

0:52:39.200 --> 0:52:40.960
<v Speaker 2>in I saw that there was a whole It was

0:52:41.000 --> 0:52:43.879
<v Speaker 2>a whole thing. Yeah, we hope he recovers quickly. They're

0:52:43.920 --> 0:52:46.560
<v Speaker 2>not the same team with Jalen Hurts at quarterback, but

0:52:46.600 --> 0:52:48.880
<v Speaker 2>they might be good enough. Probably still, they might still

0:52:48.920 --> 0:52:49.520
<v Speaker 2>be good enough.

0:52:49.560 --> 0:52:51.680
<v Speaker 1>All right. They went by twenty nine and to close

0:52:51.719 --> 0:52:56.120
<v Speaker 1>out the sec ole Miss thirty seven, Arkansas thirty three.

0:52:56.200 --> 0:52:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Big game for Jordan to Amu, who had over five

0:52:59.560 --> 0:53:03.520
<v Speaker 1>hundred twenty yards of total offense. Let me move on, Dan,

0:53:03.600 --> 0:53:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to the PAC twelve quick here and talk

0:53:06.200 --> 0:53:11.160
<v Speaker 1>about USC thirty one Colorado twenty. USC is now thirteen

0:53:11.200 --> 0:53:16.480
<v Speaker 1>and oer versus Colorado all time. They quietly got a

0:53:16.560 --> 0:53:21.160
<v Speaker 1>nineteen game home winning streak. Somehow gotten lost in the shuffle,

0:53:21.160 --> 0:53:23.560
<v Speaker 1>but a nice win for USC here. I thought, a

0:53:23.600 --> 0:53:27.000
<v Speaker 1>good showing for the Trojan defense. They held Colorado down.

0:53:27.640 --> 0:53:32.040
<v Speaker 1>They had four sacks, sixteen tackles for loss sixteen.

0:53:32.400 --> 0:53:35.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, let's not gloss over that number. This is a

0:53:36.320 --> 0:53:39.120
<v Speaker 2>this is a young defense. They were without Cam Smith

0:53:39.200 --> 0:53:44.000
<v Speaker 2>there like seventeen year starting middle linebacker Porter Gustin was

0:53:44.040 --> 0:53:46.600
<v Speaker 2>beat up. The secondary does not look anything like we

0:53:46.640 --> 0:53:49.440
<v Speaker 2>thought it would look like, you know, January and February

0:53:50.000 --> 0:53:54.880
<v Speaker 2>and they get after a really feisty Colorado offense.

0:53:55.640 --> 0:53:58.160
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely so, I see not a great.

0:53:57.920 --> 0:53:59.920
<v Speaker 2>Game for J. T. Daniels. You know, a couple pay

0:54:00.480 --> 0:54:02.000
<v Speaker 2>I think the first throw of the game was a

0:54:02.000 --> 0:54:05.000
<v Speaker 2>pick and was bailed out by you know, Michael Pittman's

0:54:05.040 --> 0:54:07.720
<v Speaker 2>probably one of the quieter, really good receivers in the country.

0:54:07.800 --> 0:54:10.640
<v Speaker 2>He bails him out on a really badly underthrown ball

0:54:10.680 --> 0:54:14.240
<v Speaker 2>for a long touchdown. But yeah, you beat an undefeated

0:54:14.280 --> 0:54:17.840
<v Speaker 2>Colorado team at home. Hopefully for USC and a conference

0:54:17.880 --> 0:54:21.960
<v Speaker 2>that badly needs competitive teams, this is a sign of

0:54:21.960 --> 0:54:23.000
<v Speaker 2>things to come for the true.

0:54:22.960 --> 0:54:25.080
<v Speaker 1>USC also needs to clean up the penalties. They are

0:54:25.080 --> 0:54:29.040
<v Speaker 1>currently dead last in FBS, averaging eleven and a half

0:54:29.080 --> 0:54:34.680
<v Speaker 1>penalties per game. They had thirteen in this one. Leaviska Chanalt,

0:54:34.680 --> 0:54:36.560
<v Speaker 1>by the way, we can't go a show without talking

0:54:36.560 --> 0:54:38.640
<v Speaker 1>about him. We might get to him with dood alerts.

0:54:38.680 --> 0:54:43.040
<v Speaker 1>But nine catches seventy two yards to carries forty six

0:54:43.160 --> 0:54:47.000
<v Speaker 1>yards in a touchdown. He accounted for forty four point

0:54:47.200 --> 0:54:49.799
<v Speaker 1>five percent of Colorado's offense in this football game.

0:54:50.600 --> 0:54:54.680
<v Speaker 2>In a down game for Laviskas Chanalt, he had eleven

0:54:54.800 --> 0:54:58.680
<v Speaker 2>touches for one hundred and twenty ish yards in a touchdown.

0:54:58.480 --> 0:55:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Utah forty two Arizona ten Khalil Tait left the game

0:55:04.160 --> 0:55:09.160
<v Speaker 1>after two drives with an ankle injury. Really though, Utah

0:55:09.560 --> 0:55:12.080
<v Speaker 1>finding a way to get the job done on offense.

0:55:12.120 --> 0:55:15.080
<v Speaker 1>This is quietly a story out west that we need

0:55:15.120 --> 0:55:17.600
<v Speaker 1>to pay a little bit more attention to. Tyler Huntley

0:55:18.160 --> 0:55:22.200
<v Speaker 1>over his last two games has completed seventy almost seventy

0:55:22.200 --> 0:55:25.799
<v Speaker 1>eight percent of his passes for four hundred yards, three

0:55:25.840 --> 0:55:31.200
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns and one interception, averaging about ten yards per attempt.

0:55:32.840 --> 0:55:36.240
<v Speaker 1>Utah looked good a week ago on offense, looked good,

0:55:36.320 --> 0:55:40.000
<v Speaker 1>really good against Arizona, granted not at top level defense,

0:55:40.080 --> 0:55:43.839
<v Speaker 1>but on their first seven drives they had five touchdowns,

0:55:43.920 --> 0:55:46.960
<v Speaker 1>one turnover on downs and then one that just sort

0:55:47.000 --> 0:55:49.759
<v Speaker 1>of ended the half. You combine that with a very

0:55:49.800 --> 0:55:54.560
<v Speaker 1>good defense that sacked Arizona five times. Arizona never really

0:55:54.600 --> 0:55:55.359
<v Speaker 1>had a chance here.

0:55:56.960 --> 0:56:01.640
<v Speaker 2>No Tyler Huntley throwing touchdownrushing touchdown, and I believe receiving

0:56:01.680 --> 0:56:06.879
<v Speaker 2>touchdown correct Utah a definite grower. Their offense looked wolf

0:56:07.040 --> 0:56:09.440
<v Speaker 2>left the first two or three weeks, and it's hard

0:56:09.480 --> 0:56:13.880
<v Speaker 2>to stay two hung up on Arizona because they're just bad.

0:56:14.080 --> 0:56:17.120
<v Speaker 2>They're just a bad college football team this year. And

0:56:17.280 --> 0:56:19.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, Cleil Tate hasn't been the same, He's been

0:56:19.200 --> 0:56:22.719
<v Speaker 2>beat up. He finally leaves this game. But Utah, with

0:56:22.880 --> 0:56:25.360
<v Speaker 2>what I believe, they get Oregon at home. They've already

0:56:25.440 --> 0:56:28.440
<v Speaker 2>lost to Washington, they have the close game against Wazoo.

0:56:28.880 --> 0:56:32.719
<v Speaker 2>But they get USC and Salt Lake City. That's that's

0:56:32.840 --> 0:56:34.520
<v Speaker 2>not going to be great for the Trojans. That Salt

0:56:34.600 --> 0:56:37.279
<v Speaker 2>Lake City is not at place that USC particularly likes

0:56:37.320 --> 0:56:41.239
<v Speaker 2>to play well. And they host Oregon and their road

0:56:41.239 --> 0:56:44.160
<v Speaker 2>stuff isn't I mean, it's at UCLA, at ASU, at

0:56:44.200 --> 0:56:46.640
<v Speaker 2>Colorado and they close out the season with Holy what.

0:56:47.280 --> 0:56:50.840
<v Speaker 2>All right, but I'm confident in this Utah team.

0:56:50.680 --> 0:56:55.240
<v Speaker 1>All right. And finally in the PAC twelve UCLA thirty seven,

0:56:56.800 --> 0:57:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Cal seven. It's UCLA's first road win since September seventeenth

0:57:02.719 --> 0:57:08.320
<v Speaker 1>and twenty sixteen, their first road conference win since November

0:57:08.360 --> 0:57:13.200
<v Speaker 1>twenty fifteen. On the road at Utah, they forced five

0:57:13.280 --> 0:57:16.040
<v Speaker 1>turnovers from Cal. Cal have been very turnover prone this year.

0:57:16.040 --> 0:57:20.160
<v Speaker 1>They've had nineteen in five games, but five in this game.

0:57:20.720 --> 0:57:23.160
<v Speaker 1>UCLA seems to be figuring things out. A little bit. Now,

0:57:23.520 --> 0:57:26.560
<v Speaker 1>if you look at the split on how many times

0:57:26.600 --> 0:57:32.000
<v Speaker 1>they ran versus past fifty five rushes versus only fifteen

0:57:32.120 --> 0:57:35.080
<v Speaker 1>throwing attempts, I feel like this is going to a

0:57:35.120 --> 0:57:37.040
<v Speaker 1>place now where we're starting to see more of a

0:57:37.120 --> 0:57:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Chip Kelly offense.

0:57:39.960 --> 0:57:43.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and Cal's not particularly good. I know their defense

0:57:43.400 --> 0:57:45.360
<v Speaker 2>had a nice start to the year, and they still

0:57:45.400 --> 0:57:47.240
<v Speaker 2>do have good pieces on that side of the ball.

0:57:47.320 --> 0:57:51.720
<v Speaker 2>But it's the story here is UCLA breaking through. I

0:57:51.720 --> 0:57:53.800
<v Speaker 2>don't want to take too much away from UCLA because

0:57:53.840 --> 0:57:58.640
<v Speaker 2>there Dorian Thompson Robinson has quietly ascended to a pretty

0:57:58.680 --> 0:58:00.960
<v Speaker 2>fun level, and you can see the potential if he

0:58:01.000 --> 0:58:03.240
<v Speaker 2>has surrounded I mean, his offensive line is coming together

0:58:03.320 --> 0:58:07.080
<v Speaker 2>nicely if he surrounded with probably better level receivers than

0:58:07.080 --> 0:58:09.360
<v Speaker 2>he has right now pass catchers. The other story is

0:58:09.440 --> 0:58:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Josh Kelly. Yeah, used to lay these past couple of years,

0:58:11.760 --> 0:58:14.080
<v Speaker 2>could not run at all the last couple of years

0:58:14.120 --> 0:58:17.320
<v Speaker 2>of the Jimora era, and quietly have had a couple

0:58:17.400 --> 0:58:19.840
<v Speaker 2>of good running backs in what it was Paul Perkins

0:58:19.840 --> 0:58:23.840
<v Speaker 2>before that, Jonathan Franklin forever and Josh Kelly the UC Davis.

0:58:23.840 --> 0:58:25.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you're familiar with the Aggies, the

0:58:25.520 --> 0:58:29.440
<v Speaker 2>proud Aggies of UC Davis. But Josh Kelly has transferred

0:58:29.480 --> 0:58:32.560
<v Speaker 2>in from there, and these past couple weeks against not

0:58:32.680 --> 0:58:37.160
<v Speaker 2>insignificant opponents in Washington, cal has become quite the name.

0:58:37.280 --> 0:58:39.920
<v Speaker 2>So good for him. And if you're in Davis, California,

0:58:40.280 --> 0:58:41.840
<v Speaker 2>get the garlic fries at Pluto's.

0:58:42.000 --> 0:58:45.760
<v Speaker 1>Josh Kelly sixty two carries four hundred and six yards.

0:58:45.760 --> 0:58:48.360
<v Speaker 1>That's an average of six point five yards per carry

0:58:48.880 --> 0:58:51.200
<v Speaker 1>and four touchdowns over his last three games.

0:58:51.480 --> 0:58:54.000
<v Speaker 2>You can build around that, ty, you can for sure.

0:58:54.120 --> 0:58:56.800
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's close it out and talk about the

0:58:56.800 --> 0:59:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Big twelve. Another non marquee matchup for the Horns and

0:59:01.880 --> 0:59:06.200
<v Speaker 1>another close win for Texas twenty three to seventeen. Was

0:59:06.240 --> 0:59:08.560
<v Speaker 1>your final? This one came down to the final play.

0:59:08.680 --> 0:59:13.040
<v Speaker 1>Charlie Brewer threw it out of bouts. But yeah, another

0:59:13.280 --> 0:59:17.720
<v Speaker 1>case where you called it not a marquee matchup. Texas

0:59:17.760 --> 0:59:20.840
<v Speaker 1>doesn't cover the points where they win, and clearly they've

0:59:20.880 --> 0:59:23.000
<v Speaker 1>moved up now well into the top ten. They are

0:59:23.040 --> 0:59:27.560
<v Speaker 1>positioned nicely. But of note is the fact that Sam

0:59:27.560 --> 0:59:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Ellinger hurt his throwing shoulder early. He did not return.

0:59:31.320 --> 0:59:34.160
<v Speaker 1>We saw Shane Buschell come in and get the job done.

0:59:34.720 --> 0:59:38.160
<v Speaker 1>But certainly the severity of that injury, and I haven't

0:59:38.200 --> 0:59:42.040
<v Speaker 1>seen anything throughout the course of today, that injury has

0:59:42.160 --> 0:59:45.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot to say about where Texas's season goes and

0:59:45.240 --> 0:59:46.360
<v Speaker 1>where the Big twelve goes.

0:59:47.640 --> 0:59:49.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, you yourself are an elite athlete who has dealt

0:59:49.880 --> 0:59:54.960
<v Speaker 2>with shoulders. Of course, for sure, it's an ac joint

0:59:55.040 --> 0:59:58.560
<v Speaker 2>sprain for Sam Ellinger, which I think it's grade one.

0:59:58.640 --> 1:00:01.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how good or bad that is. They

1:00:01.160 --> 1:00:04.880
<v Speaker 2>say they have a bye week, right, and they said

1:00:04.880 --> 1:00:07.280
<v Speaker 2>they expect him to be in like a pretty good

1:00:07.360 --> 1:00:13.000
<v Speaker 2>position to potentially play. It was very vague language with

1:00:13.080 --> 1:00:16.920
<v Speaker 2>regards to the Baylor game itself. Baylor did, Baylor made plays,

1:00:16.960 --> 1:00:20.960
<v Speaker 2>there was a weird non interception that seemed like an interception,

1:00:21.760 --> 1:00:25.160
<v Speaker 2>and Texas did just enough to pull this game out.

1:00:25.240 --> 1:00:30.400
<v Speaker 2>But yes, the ceiling becomes demonstrably lower without Sam Ellinger

1:00:30.440 --> 1:00:32.640
<v Speaker 2>because this defense can't do it alone. I know they're

1:00:32.640 --> 1:00:36.520
<v Speaker 2>going to get up for those big games, but I'm

1:00:36.520 --> 1:00:40.000
<v Speaker 2>worried about this Texas team without Ellinger. All right, if

1:00:40.080 --> 1:00:41.400
<v Speaker 2>that should come to pass.

1:00:41.320 --> 1:00:46.440
<v Speaker 1>Let's go over to Texas Tech seventeen TCU fourteen. This

1:00:46.480 --> 1:00:48.920
<v Speaker 1>one on Thursday night. Did I say it out loud

1:00:49.720 --> 1:00:51.480
<v Speaker 1>or was I just thinking it in my head that

1:00:52.040 --> 1:00:53.880
<v Speaker 1>we were thinking shootout and this was going to end

1:00:53.960 --> 1:00:55.440
<v Speaker 1>up being like seventeen fourteen.

1:00:56.680 --> 1:00:58.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, having to I mean, if you nailed it, you

1:00:58.680 --> 1:01:01.720
<v Speaker 2>nailed it, and listen, I give you all thy credits.

1:01:02.800 --> 1:01:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Texas Tech that has a full on occasional defense. I

1:01:07.320 --> 1:01:11.920
<v Speaker 2>don't know how we can qualify this, but since that

1:01:11.960 --> 1:01:15.400
<v Speaker 2>Oklahoma State game, they keep Oklahoma State to seventeen, they

1:01:15.440 --> 1:01:18.840
<v Speaker 2>hold down TCU to fourteen, They basically shut out West

1:01:18.920 --> 1:01:21.920
<v Speaker 2>Virginia in the second half. I don't want to speak

1:01:21.960 --> 1:01:25.320
<v Speaker 2>out of turn here, ty, Texas Tech defense might be

1:01:25.400 --> 1:01:27.440
<v Speaker 2>approaching respectable.

1:01:26.920 --> 1:01:31.000
<v Speaker 1>WHOA I would say they're texting with the defense. They

1:01:31.000 --> 1:01:33.520
<v Speaker 1>don't quite have it yet, but they're on again, off again,

1:01:33.560 --> 1:01:34.680
<v Speaker 1>at least flirting with them.

1:01:34.720 --> 1:01:37.320
<v Speaker 2>They're charming. They're charming with the text.

1:01:37.360 --> 1:01:40.400
<v Speaker 1>A lot of emojis going back and forth there, but

1:01:40.600 --> 1:01:41.680
<v Speaker 1>like good.

1:01:41.440 --> 1:01:45.600
<v Speaker 2>Gift usage and yes, friends, it's gift, they're savvy with

1:01:45.640 --> 1:01:46.200
<v Speaker 2>the texting.

1:01:46.840 --> 1:01:51.600
<v Speaker 1>Too many mistakes for TCU in this game. Gary Patterson

1:01:51.680 --> 1:01:53.920
<v Speaker 1>was pretty vocal about that after the game. He just

1:01:54.480 --> 1:01:57.040
<v Speaker 1>can't turn it over the way they did. And now

1:01:57.160 --> 1:02:01.520
<v Speaker 1>next week TCU is at home against Oklahoma, so it's

1:02:01.560 --> 1:02:05.800
<v Speaker 1>not going to get any easier for them. We're coming

1:02:05.800 --> 1:02:08.480
<v Speaker 1>to a point again where TCU has let me down

1:02:08.960 --> 1:02:12.919
<v Speaker 1>for like the consecutive year. Set it at the top

1:02:12.960 --> 1:02:16.040
<v Speaker 1>of the season that I was back on with TCU.

1:02:16.560 --> 1:02:18.520
<v Speaker 1>Now it seems like maybe we're back off again.

1:02:19.400 --> 1:02:23.800
<v Speaker 2>Baby, I've changed, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, Please have changed?

1:02:23.920 --> 1:02:28.320
<v Speaker 2>Come on, I got my own place, baby, please, I'm

1:02:28.360 --> 1:02:32.240
<v Speaker 2>a new me. Yeah, TCU is, it's not. It's just

1:02:32.280 --> 1:02:34.160
<v Speaker 2>a down year for the Frogs. It's all in here

1:02:34.280 --> 1:02:37.360
<v Speaker 2>and too many mistakes and not being able to move

1:02:37.400 --> 1:02:40.960
<v Speaker 2>the ball consistently on the ground. Defensively, they look like TCU.

1:02:41.400 --> 1:02:44.560
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, just speaking of weird awkward moments

1:02:44.560 --> 1:02:48.040
<v Speaker 2>on this show, Jet Duffy kind of pulled in this

1:02:48.160 --> 1:02:51.320
<v Speaker 2>game and then McClain Carter gets hurt and Cliff has

1:02:51.360 --> 1:02:54.160
<v Speaker 2>to do the whole ooh uh, so I guess if

1:02:54.200 --> 1:02:59.640
<v Speaker 2>you're still willing, we need you and comes through. Jet

1:02:59.680 --> 1:03:04.120
<v Speaker 2>Duffy makes plays, has that long run, and Texas Tech another.

1:03:04.200 --> 1:03:06.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they're quietly four and two in a big

1:03:06.800 --> 1:03:10.320
<v Speaker 2>twelve that is looking like there are two very you know,

1:03:10.320 --> 1:03:13.520
<v Speaker 2>we've talked about this conference as a as a conference

1:03:13.520 --> 1:03:16.680
<v Speaker 2>with a very healthy middle class, but it appears that

1:03:16.720 --> 1:03:19.200
<v Speaker 2>the haves and have nots are sort of separating themselves,

1:03:19.360 --> 1:03:20.560
<v Speaker 2>and Texas Tech is on the good side.

1:03:20.560 --> 1:03:24.040
<v Speaker 1>There are a lot of quiet teams like Tech, like Duke,

1:03:24.520 --> 1:03:28.560
<v Speaker 1>like Virginia. We could have a whole silent but deadly

1:03:28.600 --> 1:03:32.520
<v Speaker 1>episode if we wanted, Yes, it would be quite appropriate

1:03:32.600 --> 1:03:36.120
<v Speaker 1>at some point this season. And then finally K State

1:03:36.280 --> 1:03:41.080
<v Speaker 1>thirty one Oklahoma State twelve. I think K State is

1:03:41.160 --> 1:03:43.400
<v Speaker 1>quickly coming to a point where they're just like, f it,

1:03:43.640 --> 1:03:46.960
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna run at every play, like what's what's what's

1:03:47.000 --> 1:03:55.080
<v Speaker 1>even the point here? Alex Barnes has had two games,

1:03:55.160 --> 1:03:59.720
<v Speaker 1>might still be running two games that are like incredible.

1:04:00.120 --> 1:04:02.280
<v Speaker 1>One hundred and eighty one yards of four touchdowns on

1:04:02.320 --> 1:04:04.720
<v Speaker 1>the ground in this game, also had fifty one yard receiving.

1:04:05.440 --> 1:04:07.800
<v Speaker 1>If you add that in with what he did last week,

1:04:08.280 --> 1:04:12.120
<v Speaker 1>five hundred and four total yards, seven total touchdowns for

1:04:12.240 --> 1:04:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Alex Barnes in K State. Again, why do anything else

1:04:15.880 --> 1:04:17.040
<v Speaker 1>when you could just give it to him?

1:04:17.120 --> 1:04:19.040
<v Speaker 2>Do you think Bill Snyder and Joe Morehead had a

1:04:19.080 --> 1:04:21.400
<v Speaker 2>call after the game or maybe when they shook hands

1:04:21.440 --> 1:04:23.560
<v Speaker 2>at the middle of the field. We're just like, hey,

1:04:23.560 --> 1:04:25.560
<v Speaker 2>should we just run? What are we doing?

1:04:25.720 --> 1:04:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Like? What if?

1:04:26.120 --> 1:04:26.600
<v Speaker 2>Should we just?

1:04:26.600 --> 1:04:27.800
<v Speaker 1>What if we just ran?

1:04:27.880 --> 1:04:28.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

1:04:28.080 --> 1:04:30.000
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking just keep running. This reminds me a

1:04:30.000 --> 1:04:34.200
<v Speaker 1>lot of old school Yukon. Yeah, Jordan Toddman Randietzel part one,

1:04:34.760 --> 1:04:36.520
<v Speaker 1>but they just ran it fifty times a game with

1:04:36.600 --> 1:04:38.720
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Todman and smart enough to say, you know what,

1:04:38.760 --> 1:04:40.520
<v Speaker 1>maybe we shouldn't throw it a lot with Dan or lost.

1:04:41.280 --> 1:04:44.680
<v Speaker 2>We shouldn't. Maybe let's see what happens, let's you know

1:04:44.720 --> 1:04:48.160
<v Speaker 2>what fit, let's go to the Fiesta ball And also

1:04:48.760 --> 1:04:51.520
<v Speaker 2>Oklahoma State, what what happened?

1:04:51.520 --> 1:04:52.600
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea?

1:04:53.240 --> 1:04:57.520
<v Speaker 2>What are you so? Yes? See the Texas Tech game.

1:04:57.600 --> 1:05:00.000
<v Speaker 2>I was willing to believe that was and a non

1:05:00.600 --> 1:05:02.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, maybe a let down after that really impressive

1:05:02.760 --> 1:05:06.200
<v Speaker 2>win over Boise State. They kind of comfortably, kind of

1:05:06.200 --> 1:05:09.120
<v Speaker 2>weirdly beat Kansas on the road. They lose a shootout

1:05:09.120 --> 1:05:11.960
<v Speaker 2>to an Iowa State team, and you're like, okay, well,

1:05:12.080 --> 1:05:14.920
<v Speaker 2>Iowa States, you know, they've been improving pretty steadily these

1:05:14.960 --> 1:05:20.560
<v Speaker 2>past couple of years. Losing scoring twelve against Kansas State.

1:05:20.680 --> 1:05:25.280
<v Speaker 2>This Kansas State to get it, Ah, Oklahoma State, you're

1:05:25.280 --> 1:05:26.720
<v Speaker 2>not on the right side of the haves and have

1:05:26.840 --> 1:05:27.560
<v Speaker 2>nots right now?

1:05:27.800 --> 1:05:31.720
<v Speaker 1>All right, well there you go. Any other tidbits here,

1:05:31.800 --> 1:05:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Dan that we need to tell the fine people about.

1:05:35.720 --> 1:05:37.400
<v Speaker 2>I got lots of bits, Ty, you know, you know me,

1:05:37.760 --> 1:05:40.440
<v Speaker 2>I got lots of bits. First of all, on the

1:05:40.760 --> 1:05:42.560
<v Speaker 2>ESPN Plus show I do every week with our pel

1:05:42.600 --> 1:05:46.760
<v Speaker 2>Jeff Schwartz, my mystery pick was Princeton minus forty and

1:05:46.800 --> 1:05:51.680
<v Speaker 2>a half over Brown. I nailed Colgate last week. This

1:05:51.720 --> 1:05:54.680
<v Speaker 2>week I went Princeton. They don't cover. They only went

1:05:54.760 --> 1:05:59.160
<v Speaker 2>by thirty South Florida. I mean, obviously I'm gonna lead

1:05:59.200 --> 1:06:03.800
<v Speaker 2>with Princeton. Everybody know. Sure, South Florida needs every second

1:06:04.400 --> 1:06:07.280
<v Speaker 2>of the game to beat Tulsa. What was our it was?

1:06:07.600 --> 1:06:10.480
<v Speaker 2>It was the what was something cattle? It was the

1:06:10.480 --> 1:06:15.880
<v Speaker 2>comeback cattle, the cardiac cattle. So yeah, they are an

1:06:16.000 --> 1:06:17.480
<v Speaker 2>l ro O team. They're going to lose, and they're

1:06:17.520 --> 1:06:20.960
<v Speaker 2>going to lose in spectacular fashion. Sooner or later, that's fine.

1:06:20.960 --> 1:06:24.320
<v Speaker 2>They're still pretty good. I'm trying to think what else

1:06:24.480 --> 1:06:28.320
<v Speaker 2>stood out to me. Utah State and app State maybe

1:06:28.360 --> 1:06:31.640
<v Speaker 2>the two best group of five teams right now? Is

1:06:31.680 --> 1:06:35.240
<v Speaker 2>that is that crazy to see? I think Jordan Love

1:06:35.400 --> 1:06:38.480
<v Speaker 2>is pretty incredible to watch. App State proved itself to

1:06:38.480 --> 1:06:40.560
<v Speaker 2>be for real with that Penn State game and then

1:06:40.600 --> 1:06:45.040
<v Speaker 2>subsequently murdering everybody else San Diego State. If you want

1:06:45.040 --> 1:06:47.960
<v Speaker 2>to talk about what they're five and one. They have

1:06:48.000 --> 1:06:51.720
<v Speaker 2>the bad loss, and you disrespected them. I did. I

1:06:51.760 --> 1:06:53.400
<v Speaker 2>most certainly did you have them. I owe you a

1:06:53.400 --> 1:06:57.720
<v Speaker 2>breakfast burrito because of it. After they take down Arizona States,

1:06:58.840 --> 1:07:01.800
<v Speaker 2>Buffalo a very at six and one with a pretty

1:07:01.800 --> 1:07:05.160
<v Speaker 2>comfortable win over Akron and you know, I'm not going

1:07:05.160 --> 1:07:07.720
<v Speaker 2>to repeat your nickname for their star receiver, but just

1:07:07.760 --> 1:07:10.360
<v Speaker 2>know he exists. UA be another quiet five and one.

1:07:10.680 --> 1:07:13.120
<v Speaker 2>They murder Rice and put up some huge numbers through

1:07:13.160 --> 1:07:16.200
<v Speaker 2>the air. North Texas. That solid verbal bump the mean

1:07:16.280 --> 1:07:18.840
<v Speaker 2>Green six and one right now, led by their defense,

1:07:19.360 --> 1:07:22.160
<v Speaker 2>which I can't imagine was a popular way of looking

1:07:22.600 --> 1:07:25.320
<v Speaker 2>at Seth Latrell in this team. But they comfortably beat

1:07:25.680 --> 1:07:29.440
<v Speaker 2>Southern miss Western Michigan gets to five and two, bowling

1:07:29.440 --> 1:07:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Green fires their head coach. I saw that Interim Carl

1:07:32.960 --> 1:07:36.400
<v Speaker 2>Polini did not expect to say that those three words

1:07:36.480 --> 1:07:40.600
<v Speaker 2>together in twenty eighteen. But here we are. Navy appears

1:07:40.640 --> 1:07:42.400
<v Speaker 2>to be down this year. We'll see if they can

1:07:42.400 --> 1:07:44.040
<v Speaker 2>come back the second half of the season, but they

1:07:44.040 --> 1:07:47.280
<v Speaker 2>lose to Temple and Jeff Collins hasn't lost in conference.

1:07:47.480 --> 1:07:50.760
<v Speaker 2>And I think it's slowly building Temple into something. I mean,

1:07:50.800 --> 1:07:53.400
<v Speaker 2>there's I don't know what it is, ty Temple all

1:07:53.440 --> 1:07:57.160
<v Speaker 2>of the sudden a string of promising coaches is that.

1:07:57.200 --> 1:07:58.720
<v Speaker 2>It's very strange to say.

1:07:59.400 --> 1:08:02.040
<v Speaker 1>But well, we should do some contract work for other

1:08:02.120 --> 1:08:03.360
<v Speaker 1>schools looking for coaches.

1:08:04.160 --> 1:08:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Yes, they are evaluating well. And Houston gets to five

1:08:08.720 --> 1:08:12.000
<v Speaker 2>and one. Another impressive day for the Cougars. And you

1:08:12.040 --> 1:08:15.919
<v Speaker 2>mentioned Virginia Tech. I don't think. I mean BYU makes

1:08:15.920 --> 1:08:20.000
<v Speaker 2>a quarterback change. Tanner Mangum somehow is not still the quarterback.

1:08:20.040 --> 1:08:22.839
<v Speaker 2>They turned to a freshman, Zach Wilson, who at nineteen

1:08:23.520 --> 1:08:27.360
<v Speaker 2>I believe is the youngest quarterback ever to start a

1:08:27.479 --> 1:08:32.200
<v Speaker 2>game from BYU. Yeah, that's the thing. And very quietly,

1:08:32.200 --> 1:08:34.120
<v Speaker 2>if we're just going to speak about silent but deadly,

1:08:34.400 --> 1:08:37.519
<v Speaker 2>Fresno has that loss to Minnesota, that crazy last second loss,

1:08:37.600 --> 1:08:41.240
<v Speaker 2>but Marcus mcmaary and the Oregon State transfer quarterback has

1:08:41.280 --> 1:08:45.639
<v Speaker 2>been pretty electric for them. They demolish Wyoming. Fresno State

1:08:45.680 --> 1:08:49.040
<v Speaker 2>probably has one of the best twelve to fourteen defenses

1:08:49.080 --> 1:08:53.240
<v Speaker 2>in the country, so pretty cool on the San Joaquin

1:08:53.360 --> 1:08:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Valley's finest and Jeff Tedfords Fresno Se And you got

1:08:55.960 --> 1:09:02.320
<v Speaker 2>any dudes, so Ty, I always have dudes, all right?

1:09:02.360 --> 1:09:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Who we've got here in week sex breathlessly.

1:09:05.560 --> 1:09:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Usc is entire damn defense, Alex Barnes, CJ. Verdell, who

1:09:09.000 --> 1:09:11.680
<v Speaker 2>is enormous for Oregon, and they're upset purty like a

1:09:11.720 --> 1:09:15.320
<v Speaker 2>Brock Star Brock perty Felton Davis, Xavier Ubosi. I mentioned

1:09:15.400 --> 1:09:18.120
<v Speaker 2>Uab he had damn near two hundred yards through the

1:09:18.120 --> 1:09:21.840
<v Speaker 2>air catching receiving. Excuse me, Tyler Huntley. We mentioned Jordan

1:09:21.920 --> 1:09:24.599
<v Speaker 2>Love for Utah State another I think at five touchdown passes,

1:09:24.640 --> 1:09:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Michigan's entire offensive line, Iowa's tight ends TJ. Hockinson and

1:09:29.000 --> 1:09:32.040
<v Speaker 2>Noah Fant the most Iowa sounding tight ends in the world.

1:09:32.360 --> 1:09:35.519
<v Speaker 2>Carter Kaughlin who was everywhere from Minnesota on their defensive line.

1:09:35.520 --> 1:09:38.799
<v Speaker 2>Assumption College and I guess LSU College is Cole Tracy

1:09:38.880 --> 1:09:41.960
<v Speaker 2>made a ton of field goals for LSU. And you, Ty,

1:09:42.120 --> 1:09:45.000
<v Speaker 2>you're a dude, this thank you putting up with this ridiculous,

1:09:45.120 --> 1:09:46.800
<v Speaker 2>ridiculous equipment issue we're having.

1:09:47.520 --> 1:09:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Well It's been a long, tiring day and weekend, but

1:09:51.720 --> 1:09:52.880
<v Speaker 1>nonetheless a lot of.

1:09:52.960 --> 1:09:56.479
<v Speaker 2>Our what our sixth seventh recording attempt.

1:09:57.120 --> 1:09:59.360
<v Speaker 1>At least, we started at nine point thirty this morning

1:10:00.320 --> 1:10:02.839
<v Speaker 1>and it wasn't until about high noon that we decided

1:10:02.880 --> 1:10:06.639
<v Speaker 1>to pack it in to take five or take take

1:10:06.800 --> 1:10:09.760
<v Speaker 1>nine hours whatever, yeah, and give herself a chance to

1:10:09.800 --> 1:10:11.599
<v Speaker 1>figure this out, and then we started back up. It

1:10:11.600 --> 1:10:15.479
<v Speaker 1>didn't work. Switch MIC's mid episode. We're going to get

1:10:15.520 --> 1:10:19.160
<v Speaker 1>a podcast out there, well probably hopefully.

1:10:18.880 --> 1:10:20.960
<v Speaker 2>If you're listening to it, congratulations, did.

1:10:20.840 --> 1:10:23.400
<v Speaker 1>We did it? Hopefully we'll get things figured out in

1:10:23.439 --> 1:10:26.240
<v Speaker 1>time for Wednesday. I think we will. But yeah, a

1:10:26.600 --> 1:10:30.720
<v Speaker 1>monumental showing of stamina here by both you and I.

1:10:30.720 --> 1:10:34.439

<v Speaker 2>and still nothing but love for week seven, Daniel.

1:10:37.720 --> 1:10:40.439
<v Speaker 1>On that note, a very fun week. We will be

1:10:40.479 --> 1:10:44.639
<v Speaker 1>back on Wednesday to break down all of week eight.

1:10:44.720 --> 1:10:49.080
<v Speaker 1>The slate isn't as robust as we saw in week seven,

1:10:49.120 --> 1:10:52.320
<v Speaker 1>but if the last couple weeks have been any indication,

1:10:52.439 --> 1:10:54.680
