Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal.
Speaker 2: I'm that for me. I'm a man, I'm forty. I've
Speaker 2: heard so many players say, well, I want to be happy.
Speaker 2: You want to be happy for day Edith state is that?
Speaker 1: Whoo whoom?
Speaker 2: And Dan and Tye.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the solid Verbal, Boys and girls. My
Speaker 1: name is ty Hildenbrand, joining me as always over there
Speaker 1: in New York City, my man Dan Rubinstein, Sir Sir
Speaker 1: big Win yesterday, huh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ty, life is good. Life is good. My week
Speaker 2: seven did not involve me fading or disappointing teammates or
Speaker 2: a fan base or fading away. So listen, Ty, I
Speaker 2: can't complain. How you doing.
Speaker 1: I'm doing well. So we're recording this show a little
Speaker 1: bit later than usual because Smiling on Saturday was not
Speaker 1: limited to just Saturday. It also stated into Sunday morning.
Speaker 1: As we tried to record our show and had some
Speaker 1: technical woes. We are recording this late night. This is
Speaker 1: about as late night as it gets here on the verbal,
Speaker 1: as you and I are old men and about to
Speaker 1: fall asleep. But before we did that, we didn't need
Speaker 1: to do some very important recapping for again smilod on Saturday,
Speaker 1: which we discussed on the eighteen different attempts we made
Speaker 1: this morning, how maybe smilodon does not fully capture what
Speaker 1: ended up taking place.
Speaker 2: No, there were various moments during yesterday's action where I
Speaker 2: thought to myself, should have been a sign, should have
Speaker 2: been a sign what Auburn has looked like, maybe at
Speaker 2: times what Notre Dame has looked like, Perhaps what Washington
Speaker 2: has looked like, Perhaps what Texas has looked like, our
Speaker 2: Penn State should have been a sign. Saturday is where
Speaker 2: I landed on what it felt like in the present time.
Speaker 1: Should have seen the signs?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it was quite a weekend. Four of the
Speaker 1: top eight go down all told, eight of the top
Speaker 1: twenty five I go down. One of those weeks. We
Speaker 1: kind of saw it coming. We saw the writing on
Speaker 1: the wall. Maybe we should have seen the signs. Let's
Speaker 1: get into your week seven reverbs and go from there.
Speaker 1: Have a listen. This is Phillips from Panama City, Florida,
Speaker 1: and all I've got to say is thank God for
Speaker 1: college football.
Speaker 2: Dan Ti, This is Cotner and Don Ruys.
Speaker 1: Hey, this is a Shawn from Boiling Screens, North Carolina. Hi.
Speaker 1: It's Charles and Columbus Hi.
Speaker 2: This is Andrea from Bucks County.
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Michael from a bathroom in Portland, Oregon,
Speaker 1: and I just want to say welcome to smile It
Speaker 1: on Saturday. Right r R. We are halfway through the day,
Speaker 1: and smile It on Saturday has already claimed the victim,
Speaker 1: the Auburn Tigers.
Speaker 2: Totally eating out there inside.
Speaker 1: Just got done watching the Auburn game that was bad.
Speaker 1: She had a glass of Scotts to try and turn
Speaker 1: all my bad feelings into good feelings. I just went
Speaker 1: to a wedding and they did the Bok toss and
Speaker 1: it was intercepted, and I had PTSD from Jared Siddons
Speaker 1: two picks against Tennessee. Oh, how about some tigers? Baby,
Speaker 1: nobody gave us a chance. Baby, nobody gave us a chance.
Speaker 1: How about the real Tigers?
Speaker 2: That by you Bingles Row.
Speaker 1: We got a call back from last week and state
Speaker 1: that the Georgia Bulldogs do not want Bama currently, right, job,
Speaker 1: You'll always be homes me homes mere, Right.
Speaker 2: Is Kentucky secretly good snells No.
Speaker 3: I was talking with my friends name and we just
Speaker 3: discovered that things might be the brule sigle of college football.
Speaker 2: How about that home down of the week.
Speaker 1: Just walk out of Jack Troy, stay in about the
Speaker 1: party like at rock Star tonight. I think Dana Voters
Speaker 1: in visibly lost hair during this game.
Speaker 2: Texas may have won ugly, but they won.
Speaker 1: And now they're sitting atop the Big twelve with a
Speaker 1: bye week coming up to get healthy. Texas is playing
Speaker 1: up or down to its competition.
Speaker 2: Great boats your game.
Speaker 3: Great, make us sweat it out all the time with.
Speaker 1: These teams that you should be beating with no problem.
Speaker 2: Well, it's that time of year again, that time when
Speaker 2: the Big ten eats it.
Speaker 1: Well, there needed to be like a dateline investigation into
Speaker 1: house guys and what their tead games last season without
Speaker 1: Hornybrook as a starting quarterback.
Speaker 3: I don't know what this feeling is.
Speaker 2: I've never held it before.
Speaker 3: They say that it's one of those quality wins over
Speaker 3: a ranked opponents.
Speaker 1: After Michigan just destroyed Wisconsin, it's no big house.
Speaker 3: Purdue fans would like to thank you for letting us
Speaker 3: use the Croc bodycast.
Speaker 1: Illinois, Go Boilers.
Speaker 4: I just watched Rutgers quarterbacks go two for seventeen for
Speaker 4: eight yards and five picks.
Speaker 2: I love this sport.
Speaker 1: Yay it's one of the circle back on Nate Stanley,
Speaker 1: really quick six touchdowns.
Speaker 2: There's four minutes left.
Speaker 1: I bet I can fit in two more just bodying
Speaker 1: up as Hoosier defense. Could James Franklin even sell a
Speaker 1: used car in the fourth quarter?
Speaker 2: Hey, Dan is Oregon back.
Speaker 4: And it was so great to see Jake Browning sulking
Speaker 4: on the sideline after the game. The rivalry now belongs
Speaker 4: to Oregon as it should be.
Speaker 2: John Lay is happy. I'm happy.
Speaker 1: Let's go don. Ucla may now be the most dangerous
Speaker 1: one in five team in the nation.
Speaker 2: Arizona. You know this is packed twelve out dark. You
Speaker 2: don't have to light down and playdead.
Speaker 1: The cardiac cattle just barely squeaked by previously one in
Speaker 1: four Tulsa. And I'm waiting until USF is your left
Speaker 1: runs out. Team of the Week North Texas six and
Speaker 1: one Bowl eligible for a third straight year. Smell it up,
Speaker 1: Mean Green fans, We're.
Speaker 2: Live for bet Rouge just wanted to reiterate that Death
Speaker 2: Valley is truly the place where dreams go to die.
Speaker 1: And Joe Tigers and God bless America, God bless America. Indeed,
Speaker 1: Dan four oh eight verbal one four oh eight eight
Speaker 1: three seven, two two five one. Kudos to our friend,
Speaker 1: to our trusted Deputy Taylor, who actually cut up this
Speaker 1: week's reverbs from a hotel room somewhere near Tuscaloose, Alabama.
Speaker 1: He was at Bryant Denny Stadium for the Miszoo game.
Speaker 1: Had nothing but kind words about the hospitality and something
Speaker 1: called liquor lockers, which I was not familiar with previously.
Speaker 1: But it seems like you'd be a good time.
Speaker 2: I hope we got some nanner pudding. That's what you
Speaker 2: have to do when you're in Alabama.
Speaker 1: Nudding.
Speaker 2: Nana pudding, Yeah, banana pudding. Nill away for on top tie.
Speaker 2: You gotta get in on that.
Speaker 1: You know what I enjoyed the most about the reverbs
Speaker 1: this week if I could.
Speaker 2: What's that?
Speaker 1: The number of the sheer number of people who tried
Speaker 1: to do the smile it on roar.
Speaker 2: It's tough tie to convey that over the bandwidth of
Speaker 2: a phone. It's not the proper venue.
Speaker 1: You know what.
Speaker 2: I love, Tye. I loved one the scripting out. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the Rocky Top song version song got me. It's wonderful.
Speaker 2: And I also like the fact that this is just
Speaker 2: in general that our reaverblind is you know the Turkey
Speaker 2: line that you can call on Thanksgiving to get quick
Speaker 2: last minute tips to save and maybe sometimes people just
Speaker 2: call the Turkey line be like, am I doing okay?
Speaker 2: Is everything all right? That is what we are to
Speaker 2: that poor USF fan who's just waiting for his team
Speaker 2: to lose. That's what we are to you know, somebody
Speaker 2: being excited about Purdue, which you should be, But I
Speaker 2: like that no matter how you prepare your college football team,
Speaker 2: we're here to help.
Speaker 1: Hell, I almost called it during that Notre Dame game.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. What did I support?
Speaker 2: We can We'll talk about Notre Dame eventually. It's hard
Speaker 2: to lead with Notre Dame. But I compare them to
Speaker 2: I compared Pitt to like an elderly python. Yeah, like
Speaker 2: Pitt just wants to be left alone and be not
Speaker 2: that great at football. And then you come around with
Speaker 2: your hopes and dreams, disturbing the elderly python. That is Pits.
Speaker 2: And Pitt's gonna they got an attack everyone.
Speaker 1: It's gonna snap. They still got a little bit of
Speaker 1: lead in the pencil. Yeah, they want to squeeze you
Speaker 1: as long as they can. Sure, all right, let's start
Speaker 1: actually in the SEC because the number two team in
Speaker 1: the country, the Georgia Bulldogs, lost by twenty points on
Speaker 1: the road in Death Valley to LSU. I did not
Speaker 1: see this one coming. We talked on the Wednesday preview
Speaker 1: show in my line if I remember correctly, because I'm
Speaker 1: an old man and I don't remember so well, especially
Speaker 1: not just at night.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: I didn't see more than seventeen points for LSU here.
Speaker 1: And it wasn't so much because I'm trying to demean
Speaker 1: the Tigers, but look, Georgia's had a pretty good defense
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years. Maybe they were missing
Speaker 1: a few parts and they're still trying to figure that
Speaker 1: out halfway through the year, but still a pretty good defense.
Speaker 1: The Georgia offense was averaging near forty three points per game.
Speaker 1: There were questions about the LSU offense, like a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of different things coming together at the same time.
Speaker 1: I didn't see more than seventeen points. Well, and behold,
Speaker 1: here we sit on Sunday night talking about LSU thirty
Speaker 1: six Georgia sixteen. Dan to me, I felt a little
Speaker 1: bit blindsided bout this one.
Speaker 2: Are you a believer now an LSU? Are you a
Speaker 2: Jarrett Lever believer? I really tried with that time, I
Speaker 2: swear to you, I did.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: Are you an LSU after at home looking like they did,
Speaker 2: making Georgia look like it did? Are you ready to
Speaker 2: turn that page on LSU? I think you have to be. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think you have to be.
Speaker 1: I think if at this point came right, yeah, at
Speaker 1: this point, if you are unwilling to admit that LSU
Speaker 1: was a top ten team, at worse, a top twelve
Speaker 1: team in the country, you've got an ax to grind
Speaker 1: with LSU. Here's the deal. Three top ten wins. They've
Speaker 1: got a game left against Wells State. Well, okay, sure.
Speaker 2: We can quit the time. Yes, at the time.
Speaker 1: Three top ten wins not bad, not bad. I'll take that,
Speaker 1: given where I thought LSU might be this season. Sure,
Speaker 1: Mississippi State next week potentially a letdown? Who knows the state?
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Mississipps. I can't even say it. Mississippi State's
Speaker 1: pretty good team. They've also got Alabama the first week
Speaker 1: of November, which is shaping up to be another smile
Speaker 1: it on Saturday.
Speaker 2: By the way, Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 1: And then they close out the year with A and M,
Speaker 1: so there there's more work to be done for LSU.
Speaker 1: But I think by beating Georgia, Yeah, if that's not
Speaker 1: testament enough to them being for real, then I don't
Speaker 1: know it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's beating down Georgia, not just sneaking by
Speaker 2: seventeen fourteen. So the big takeaways for me looking at
Speaker 2: this game, we're basically LSU's offense, while not some kind
Speaker 2: of war machine monster like others with their talent level,
Speaker 2: they make plays and one week it's Nick Brissett, next
Speaker 2: week it's Clyde Edwards lay or whatever.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: Jefferson's making plays on the outside. Joe Burrow, while he's
Speaker 2: not the most accurate, he seems to be timely. He
Speaker 2: is a dual threat more often than I think people
Speaker 2: want to admit. And you know, Coacho going forward in
Speaker 2: a huge spot to keep momentum going. And watching that game,
Speaker 2: it was obvious to me that LSU had something that
Speaker 2: you see from very good teams, and that is the
Speaker 2: offense and defense and really special teams working in concert.
Speaker 2: That the offense was taking advantage when the defense was
Speaker 2: forcing turnovers. You know, when they had a short field.
Speaker 2: You know, the defense was taking advantage of the offense,
Speaker 2: giving them time and taking chances knowing that the offense
Speaker 2: was going to be able to score. And the defense
Speaker 2: playing with a knowledge of Jake from is off And
Speaker 2: part of that is off us and part of that
Speaker 2: is maybe some predictable play calling. Part of that is
Speaker 2: Jake fromm just seeing ghosts. Whatever it is. I'm not
Speaker 2: worried about Georgia long term. George is going to be fine.
Speaker 2: Going to LSU and beating a good LSU team is
Speaker 2: like something that one hundred and twenty three teams every
Speaker 2: year is not going to be able to do. But
Speaker 2: Georgia looked off. They just fly. They looked like they
Speaker 2: did last year at Auburn. And I don't know if
Speaker 2: that's just going to be a once a year thing,
Speaker 2: and if it is, there are worse plights in college football.
Speaker 2: But I think the majority of this is LSU being
Speaker 2: just so dangerous, particularly at home.
Speaker 1: For sure. So again, thirty six to sixteen year final,
Speaker 1: LSU knocks off the number two ranked Georgia Bulldogs, Georgia
Speaker 1: by the ways on by next week they've got Florida
Speaker 1: into That'll be an interesting contest for us to preview.
Speaker 2: Let's move on.
Speaker 1: Let's go to number six West Virginia on the road
Speaker 1: at Iowa State. The final here Iowa State thirty, West
Speaker 1: Virginia fourteen. Just like a masterclass here for Matt Campbell
Speaker 1: in coaching and game planning. The two big indigether, the
Speaker 1: two things that jumped out to me. If you don't
Speaker 1: watch this game, if you're trying to figure out what
Speaker 1: the heck happened, go to the box score and first
Speaker 1: look at Will Grier's stat line throwing the football. West
Speaker 1: Virginia is a throwing football team. They're a thrower. Maybe
Speaker 1: not so much a grower, but they're a thrower.
Speaker 2: I think that's fair.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Will Greer goes eleven for fifteen for one hundred yards.
Speaker 1: When you see fifteen attempts, you think, oh, well, maybe
Speaker 1: maybe got hurt. Maybe there was like someone like what happened, Well,
Speaker 1: there are no backups?
Speaker 2: Non Maybe they were running for fourteen yards in attempts.
Speaker 1: Maybe they were running the Navy offense like Koell knows,
Speaker 1: But fifteen attempts seems off for wol Greer. But then
Speaker 1: you see there was no backup, and then you dig
Speaker 1: in a little bit more and you find point two. Oh,
Speaker 1: Iowa State held the ball for thirty seven and a
Speaker 1: half minutes. Oh, they held West Virginia to just one
Speaker 1: of ten on third down conversions. That's how they got
Speaker 1: the job done. That's how they controlled the flow of
Speaker 1: this game, how they controlled the narrative of this game. Honestly,
Speaker 1: if you watched it, it never felt like Iowa State
Speaker 1: was in any danger of losing this football game. They
Speaker 1: had control from the jump, and I thought, at least
Speaker 1: from what I've seen of the Cyclones, this was far
Speaker 1: and away their best game of the year. It does
Speaker 1: seem like they're getting better now.
Speaker 2: Yes, and quick disclaimer, tie my voice a little bit different, probably.
Speaker 1: A little bit different. Are you a closet?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 1: Where are you?
Speaker 2: It's actually probably a better option than we ever would
Speaker 2: have had for the first eight to nine years of
Speaker 2: this show. I'm standing right where I was, But my
Speaker 2: microphone keeps blipping and crackling, and we just we owe
Speaker 2: it to the consumer to do we owe it to
Speaker 2: Iowa State. Really tie to do better? Oh yeah, yes,
Speaker 2: I will agree, without spending too much time on our
Speaker 2: dumb audio issues, that it was the best game Iowa
Speaker 2: State played all year, they were in control, they got stronger.
Speaker 2: They now have, at least for the time being, pretty
Speaker 2: much the best combination of things that you could hope
Speaker 2: for as an up and coming college football program, which
Speaker 2: is a coach you believe in and a true freshman
Speaker 2: quarterback you believe in. Out of nowhere, mind you, but
Speaker 2: incredibly impressive. The defense was great, shutting out West Virginia
Speaker 2: in the second half. I don't think West Virginia is bad.
Speaker 2: I know there's frustration among Ears fans, but when somebody
Speaker 2: invites you to play football in Iowa State and in
Speaker 2: ames Iowa, excuse me, like we tweeted out, just politely
Speaker 2: say no, Just say oh no, God, do it wash
Speaker 2: my hair that night?
Speaker 1: Well, that three headed monster of Rock Party, David Montgomery
Speaker 1: and Hakeem Butler was just ridiculous in this game. Montgomery
Speaker 1: in particular or looked electric one hundred and eighty nine
Speaker 1: yards ran angry, showed really good moves. And Rock Party,
Speaker 1: who we've talked about now for two weeks running beat
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State a week ago, knocked off West Virginia at
Speaker 1: home on Saturday, still has a shot at Texas Tech
Speaker 1: in two weeks. They go on the road at Texas
Speaker 1: late later I guess in November. He will presumably be
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback until further notice because he has looked
Speaker 1: so good. Iowa State right now, as you look at
Speaker 1: the landscape, probably sets up as an eight and four
Speaker 1: or nine to three team, which is just remarkable for
Speaker 1: Mat Campbell to be doing this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the schedule actually, yes, depending on what happens with
Speaker 2: Sam Ellinger's shoulder, and we'll get to that, but they
Speaker 2: don't play them until mid November. But the Big Twelve,
Speaker 2: the back half of the Big Twelve, and I know
Speaker 2: they finished with a very small school a non conference game,
Speaker 2: but yeah, what a nice, unexpected sort of mid season
Speaker 2: shift for Iowa State.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Oregon thirty number seven Washington twenty seven.
Speaker 1: This one went to overtime. Another home game for Oregon,
Speaker 1: Another big home game for Oregon. Yeah, that goes to
Speaker 1: overtime this time as opposed to the Stanford game earlier
Speaker 1: in the year, a much different result. What a huge
Speaker 1: win for the Ducks here. Washington's Peyton Henry had a
Speaker 1: chance to win it. Yes, he hooks a thirty seven
Speaker 1: yard field goal at the gun. Then in the first
Speaker 1: possession of overtime, The Huskies settle for a field goal,
Speaker 1: which turns the ball over to Oregon gives them their
Speaker 1: crack at it. It opens a door for the Ducks,
Speaker 1: who promptly wont a six yard touchdown run from CJ. Verdell.
Speaker 1: Again your final here, thirty to twenty seven. I didn't
Speaker 1: watch this game as closely as I wanted because I
Speaker 1: was worried about my own nail bier over on NBC. Sure,
Speaker 1: but talk to me about what went on here, because
Speaker 1: I was jumping back and forth. What was the lay
Speaker 1: of the land up there in Eugene for this game?
Speaker 2: The lay of the land is a people being very
Speaker 2: happy after being very nervous and sad at the end
Speaker 2: of the game, with Peyton Henry lining up and Mario
Speaker 2: Cristobal ice him a couple times. It's a different Oregon
Speaker 2: team to watch. It's a very much body blow ish
Speaker 2: Oregon team to watch. I just saw a stat that
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody who's played Oregon has won a
Speaker 2: game since playing Oregon. So there your early. Yes, Stanford
Speaker 2: hasn't correct. They lose to Utah and Notre Dame. Some
Speaker 2: of the small schools haven't Cal loses to UCLA, which
Speaker 2: a terrific feather in their hat. But as it relates
Speaker 2: to Oregon, Justin Herbert kind of an off day, made
Speaker 2: a couple of big plays. Jake Browning was definitely the
Speaker 2: better quarterback on the field, had more time, made plays.
Speaker 2: We saw that long touchdown pass. But I thought Oregon's
Speaker 2: defense did a good job against Washington's offense in general,
Speaker 2: and it is definitely strange watching an Oregon offense that
Speaker 2: is happy to take four point whatever yards of carry.
Speaker 2: I don't know what they finished at, might have been
Speaker 2: less than that, but they were happy to march down
Speaker 2: the field and be patient. I didn't think their final
Speaker 2: drive and regulation was all that good, so maybe that's
Speaker 2: where things sort of shifted away from what I'm used to.
Speaker 2: But enormous win for Oregon. Great play call at the
Speaker 2: end as they saw Washington and like a nickel or
Speaker 2: dime package and to just go straight at the heart
Speaker 2: of that defense. And it's something that is going to
Speaker 2: energize Oregon on the fields on the recruiting trail. And
Speaker 2: they now face a crazy trap going to Washington State,
Speaker 2: who had a bye last week, and I like the Koogs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, game Days come into town for the first time.
Speaker 2: And that's true.
Speaker 1: All crazy, so it's going to be quite a scene
Speaker 1: up there in Pullman. But nonetheless a big win for Oregon.
Speaker 1: Oregon jumps all the way up to number twelve now
Speaker 1: in the newest AP Poll. We can't usually do that
Speaker 1: on the show because usually we record at nine to
Speaker 1: thirty in the morning, but being so it's nine to
Speaker 1: thirty at night. Yeah, a little bit of a different
Speaker 1: case here. Big win for Oregon again. In ot they
Speaker 1: go on to victory thirty to twenty seven. Let's go
Speaker 1: to state college. Michigan State twenty one, Penn State seventeen.
Speaker 1: I don't care if you were rooting for Michigan State,
Speaker 1: if you were rooting for Penn State, or if you
Speaker 1: were just channel surfing at some point in the afternoon,
Speaker 1: whatever your situation, this was a painful game to watch.
Speaker 1: If you didn't have to watch this game, you probably
Speaker 1: shouldn't have. Penn State for the second straight season, is
Speaker 1: handed a very close loss by Michigan State. Now, the
Speaker 1: Spartans have been an interesting case. We talked about them
Speaker 1: on the preview show. They've been underwhelming this season. They
Speaker 1: brought back nineteen starters from a year ago, and they
Speaker 1: just haven't really been able to run the ball. The
Speaker 1: defense at times has been a little shakier than we
Speaker 1: expected though, albeit it's still very very good. I don't
Speaker 1: know if Brian Wilworkie has quite been up to par
Speaker 1: here in the early going. But Michigan State controlled this game.
Speaker 1: They had about ten more minutes of possession, and down
Speaker 1: the stretch it seemed like it had a real outsized
Speaker 1: impact on that Penn State defense because they did start
Speaker 1: to look tired. But here is the main takeaway from
Speaker 1: But here is the main takeaway for me. And I'm
Speaker 1: not saying this disrespect Michigan State, because Michigan State clearly
Speaker 1: has Penn State's number. Disrespect Penn State in their last
Speaker 1: twenty nine games is twenty four and five. Those five
Speaker 1: losses are by a combined twelve points. This is a
Speaker 1: thing now with James Franklin. For a while we would
Speaker 1: make fun of them for the clock management. But the
Speaker 1: real story here is fourth quarter management. And again like
Speaker 1: we did against Ohio State, like we saw plenty of
Speaker 1: other times a couple times last year, this time around,
Speaker 1: Penn State had another chance to close the game out
Speaker 1: Michigan State tries to fake a field goal in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, doesn't work. It was a terrible play.
Speaker 2: Little Giants too, That's what they call it.
Speaker 1: Terrible play. Penn State gets the back on one drive,
Speaker 1: they have four downs. On the next they have three
Speaker 1: and they quickly punt it. They give the ball right
Speaker 1: back to Michigan State. Michigan State marches the field with
Speaker 1: a minute nineteen left to score the go ahead, game
Speaker 1: winning touchdown. Penn State needs to be better in those
Speaker 1: situations if they want to truly be an elite program.
Speaker 1: This is a thing for James Frankly that he needs
Speaker 1: to overcome, and Penn State's not there yet.
Speaker 2: No, James Franklin is sort of the old dose Eki
Speaker 2: Sky I guess now where he doesn't always lose games.
Speaker 1: But when he does by one and a half points.
Speaker 2: Boy, yeah, are they entertaining and weird? Yeah, Michigan State,
Speaker 2: all things considered, I'm gonna give them a little bit
Speaker 2: of respect because Felton Davis real good and pretty much
Speaker 2: the only season weapon in that receiving corps. One that
Speaker 2: is increasingly important when they haven't really been able to
Speaker 2: consistently run the ball. As you mentioned, in Brian Lawurki
Speaker 2: has been he didn't have a great game. It big
Speaker 2: throws when it counted a couple times. But yeah, I
Speaker 2: just don't know what to make of this Penn State team.
Speaker 2: And the should have been a signed thing is those
Speaker 2: first halves against pitt against Illinois, and you know, the
Speaker 2: key moments against Ohio State where tackle somebody, tackle anybody,
Speaker 2: And this Penn State team, it's it's a very weird
Speaker 2: thing because the expectations were pretty high, given Trace McSorley
Speaker 2: coming back, but with what they lost on defense, with
Speaker 2: the gravity that was Saquon Barkley on offense, It's okay
Speaker 2: to make peace with Penn State merely being their down
Speaker 2: years being a pretty good team. And I think that's
Speaker 2: what needs to happen.
Speaker 1: Mob, I agree, and I just somebody needs to explain
Speaker 1: to me how Penn State looked like garbage coming off
Speaker 1: of bye week.
Speaker 2: That's that's totally fair.
Speaker 1: Somebody needs to explain that one to me. All do
Speaker 1: credit to Michigan State. They played a good game here.
Speaker 1: They got the job done. We figured if they'd win,
Speaker 1: it would be close. And I'm not bitter about that.
Speaker 1: I'm just very curious from the Penn State perspective why
Speaker 1: it was in a better effort. Nonetheless, big win for
Speaker 1: Michigan State twenty one to seventeen, going on the road
Speaker 1: in Happy Valley.
Speaker 2: Nice win, by the way, Just because I don't with
Speaker 2: my my drive chart ratings, I don't like picking on
Speaker 2: teams that have terrible drives against Alabama or Clemson, like
Speaker 2: that's going to happen. That that is going to happen.
Speaker 2: But Penn State in this game, and I'm using my
Speaker 2: phone as a backup recording device, so I won't be
Speaker 2: able to play Devorac unless you magically have a Divorac.
Speaker 2: I don't have it on my sox too. But Penn
Speaker 2: State going fumble, touchdown, punt, punt, punt, touchdown, Hey, so far,
Speaker 2: so good, punt, end of half, punt downs, fumble, missed
Speaker 2: field goal, field goal punt punt, end of game. Man
Speaker 2: on a really ugly I mean this was pop gun
Speaker 2: throw hel Mary so that it was rough to watch.
Speaker 2: Luckily that was not my main focus at that time.
Speaker 2: That was a side TV.
Speaker 1: But well, we're going to see what happens now to
Speaker 1: Penn State moving forward, They've got a gim win against
Speaker 1: Rutgers for sure. But then there are a bunch of
Speaker 1: other games mixed in, all of which could be losses
Speaker 1: depending on how they play. If they come out and
Speaker 1: look flat on the road at Indiana, Indiana is a
Speaker 1: team that could muster up enough to beat him. Well,
Speaker 1: we'll see.
Speaker 2: We'll see that's true.
Speaker 1: No Guinea's on that schedule outside Rutgers, so we'll see
Speaker 1: where Penn State goes. Michigan State hosts Michigan next week,
Speaker 1: and I'm actually gonna go to Michigan next. I want
Speaker 1: to talk about this Saturday night game in the Big House.
Speaker 1: Michigan wins thirty eight to thirteen in a game that
Speaker 1: was really never in doubt, and I would say, as
Speaker 1: opposed to the previous couple games we've been talking about
Speaker 1: where the favorite goes out and they struggle, this was
Speaker 1: a super encouraging win on about fifteen different levels for
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh. For one, the defense remains superb. If anything,
Speaker 1: they're getting better.
Speaker 2: Yeah, with perhaps their best player sideline in Rashan Gary.
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor tailback not than Taylor Thomas full disclosure, he
Speaker 1: went over one hundred yards, but he didn't kill them,
Speaker 1: And I think that's going to be the template for
Speaker 1: everyone playing Wisconsin moving forward. Let him get the yards,
Speaker 1: just don't let him kill you. And that's exactly what
Speaker 1: Michigan did. Alex Hornybrook held to seven of twenty four,
Speaker 1: one hundred yards and two interceptions.
Speaker 2: And brother, it was going to be about twenty five
Speaker 2: until garbage time.
Speaker 1: That's right. His QBR according to ESPN. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: I even understand what this QBR number is. Math Whizz
Speaker 1: is smarter than me, and probably you have figured this out.
Speaker 1: His QBR was point seven, which feels very low.
Speaker 2: It does feel unacceptable.
Speaker 1: Ty.
Speaker 2: That's how I'm going to weigh in on that number. Wisconsin,
Speaker 2: their strength had been offense. We had seen them take
Speaker 2: steps back on defense starting with that BYU game. And
Speaker 2: for Wisconsin to look and listen, I understand with everything
Speaker 2: changing in the secondary and injuries and targeting call like
Speaker 2: this was not the same Badger defense we had seen
Speaker 2: these past three four or five years. But to be
Speaker 2: Michigan and so emphatically in your own house after they
Speaker 2: beat him at fourteen to seven in ann Arboro a
Speaker 2: couple of years ago, to go to thirty eight points
Speaker 2: with shape Patterson and the offense opening up a little bit.
Speaker 2: We saw him with the long run. We saw Dylan
Speaker 2: McCaffrey with the long run in garbage time. It was
Speaker 2: another step up for this Michigan offensive line, for Nico
Speaker 2: Collins and Donovan People's jones to get going like they did,
Speaker 2: not huge yardage, but pace this game really well. A
Speaker 2: complete win for Michigan and an obvious crock potting to
Speaker 2: me because it was only thirteen or fourteen to seven
Speaker 2: at halftime, and then slowly those flavors they melded together, tie,
Speaker 2: they came together, they swirled in that cauldron, and Michigan
Speaker 2: finished as went out, winning by twenty five. So have
Speaker 2: to be encouraged if you're a Michigan fan. The back
Speaker 2: half of their schedule is with Penn State looking down,
Speaker 2: Michigan State's going to be super tough and Easse Lansing
Speaker 2: they always are finishing in Columbus. It shapes up pretty
Speaker 2: well for a Wolverine team on the rise.
Speaker 1: By comparison, shape, Patterson's QBR was sixty two point two,
Speaker 1: which is demonstrably better than point seven.
Speaker 2: You don't get this these kind of math insights that's
Speaker 2: right on other shows. You actually no, I take that back.
Speaker 2: There are many shows that have much better math insights.
Speaker 2: All right, thirty eight to thirteen a huge win for Michigan.
Speaker 2: They're set up very nicely there, all the way up
Speaker 2: to number six in the polls now, yeah in the
Speaker 2: AP poll, deservedly. So let's go to South Bend for
Speaker 2: a hot minute if we can. Notre Dame nineteen Pit
Speaker 2: fourteen elderly Python, yeah fourteen.
Speaker 1: If you look at the box score before the final
Speaker 1: score here, I think it paints a far different story.
Speaker 1: Notre Dame should have lost this game, Dan, They should
Speaker 1: have lost this football game. But ian Book puts it
Speaker 1: together in the second half. He saw right out of
Speaker 1: the gates. In the second half, he started to kind
Speaker 1: of find a little bit of a rhythm. They were
Speaker 1: doing some different things on offense. It seemed like the
Speaker 1: tide was turning. It took a while to get there,
Speaker 1: but eventually, with five point forty three left, Ian Book
Speaker 1: Drives connects with Miles Boykin for a thirty five yard
Speaker 1: touchdown pass, which ended up being the game winner. The
Speaker 1: first time actually that Notre Dame led in this game
Speaker 1: was at the five forty three mark. Not a pretty win,
Speaker 1: but on smile, it on Saturday on should have seen
Speaker 1: the sign Saturday. A win is a win. It was
Speaker 1: all about surviving advance for Notre Dame. For really, any
Speaker 1: team that won, whether it's Florida, whether it's UCF, there
Speaker 1: are a whole slewid teams that won by the hair
Speaker 1: on their chin. I will take the win. I'm not
Speaker 1: happy about how it looked, particularly in the first half.
Speaker 2: Put on your ace of base hat and or unitard. Yeah,
Speaker 2: did you see a sign? And did it open up
Speaker 2: your eyes when you look at this Notre Dame team
Speaker 2: where in two three weeks, even though the schedule looks
Speaker 2: pretty manageable for the Irish, where you can say, yes,
Speaker 2: it was a sign that coming into a game against
Speaker 2: the like one hundred and eighth best rush defense, Dexter
Speaker 2: Williams basically averaged a yard a care. You take away
Speaker 2: that he had a long of thirteen. You take that away.
Speaker 2: It was twelve carries for eighteen yards. If my math
Speaker 2: this time is corrects, is there are there offensive takeaways
Speaker 2: that even in a surviving advanced scenario that should trouble
Speaker 2: Notre Dame.
Speaker 1: There's an offensive and a defensive takeaway for me, And
Speaker 1: I'll start with the defense, because the defense is something
Speaker 1: important here. This defense was caught on its heels initially
Speaker 1: because Pitt drove the field opening drive ten minutes scored
Speaker 1: a touchdown, and it seemed at that point from that
Speaker 1: point forward through most of the football game, it seemed
Speaker 1: like Pitt had control. But the Notre Dame defense only
Speaker 1: gave up that touchdown. The other seven points came on
Speaker 1: a kick return to open up the second half for Pitt.
Speaker 1: Notre Dame played out standing on the defensive side of
Speaker 1: the ball. Pitt missed two kicks, all right, This game
Speaker 1: could have gone their way very easily, but Notre Dame's
Speaker 1: defense really locked down, really found its groove after that
Speaker 1: first drive. And I think knowing that Notre Dame has
Speaker 1: that as just sort of a fallback, that they're going
Speaker 1: to stay in games because of that defense, that's a rock.
Speaker 1: That's a good thing to have, a good problem to
Speaker 1: have if you're Notre Dame. So that's my first takeaway
Speaker 1: that the defense did not collapse.
Speaker 2: Clark lay good job. First half.
Speaker 1: He's been outstanding. The offensive takeaway is that Pitt blitzed
Speaker 1: at least every play in the first half of this
Speaker 1: football game.
Speaker 2: Great works.
Speaker 1: It really did work, and ian Books seemed like he
Speaker 1: was a bit rattled. He was doing that thing again
Speaker 1: that he did a week ago where he was throwing
Speaker 1: over guys streaking down the field. I'm curious to see
Speaker 1: against better teams than Pitt how that shakes out for
Speaker 1: ian Book and how that shakes out for the offensive line,
Speaker 1: because there were times where they looked overwhelmed. And whether
Speaker 1: it's in the passing game of the running game, you know,
Speaker 1: that could be a bit problematic.
Speaker 2: I will say this, that throw to Miles Boykin, though.
Speaker 1: Who good good throw. Notre Dame wins absolutely survived nineteen
Speaker 1: to fourteen over Pitt at home and real quick. Before
Speaker 1: we get into some individual conferences, I just want to
Speaker 1: mention UCF thirty one Memphis thirty. We talked a little
Speaker 1: bit about UCS defense as it goes. It showed up
Speaker 1: about two quarters late to this football game. Finally figured
Speaker 1: Memphis out in the second half. It held their rushing
Speaker 1: attack that was outstanding in the first half to pretty
Speaker 1: much nothing in the second half. Also shut out out
Speaker 1: the Memphis Tigers in the second half here, So thirty
Speaker 1: one to thirty it was a come from behind victory
Speaker 1: for UCF. We're starting to do this thing now in
Speaker 1: the polls, where in the coaches poll UCF moved up
Speaker 1: one to number nine, but in the AP they froze
Speaker 1: at ten while there were a bunch of teams that
Speaker 1: hurdled them. This is again going to be more narrative
Speaker 1: that we have to contend with through the second half
Speaker 1: the season. But nonetheless, nice win for UCF on the
Speaker 1: road against Memphis.
Speaker 2: Yeah, god forbid you move UCF up after a tough
Speaker 2: road win against a good team.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was quite impressive, and it was the way
Speaker 2: they did it that it was. I think McGowan who
Speaker 2: burst up the middle on a fourth and Shorts just
Speaker 2: doing it in a number of ways. UCF is really
Speaker 2: good and I can't imagine anybody really wants a part
Speaker 2: of them.
Speaker 1: Once again, I want to go to the Big ten
Speaker 1: here and talk about Ohio State thirty Minnesota fourteen. Another
Speaker 1: hohum day for Dwayne Haskins. Four hundred and twelve yards
Speaker 1: passing three touchdowns through the air. He is putting up
Speaker 1: pinball numbers every week.
Speaker 2: Butt correct, butt train Haskins to two.
Speaker 1: But this one was seventeen to fourteen at half Minnesota,
Speaker 1: Dan hung around a while, they got a good game
Speaker 1: from Mohammed Ibrahim on the ground, Tyler Johnson in the
Speaker 1: receiving game. You would expect a PJ. Fleck team to fight,
Speaker 1: to be motivated. I just think the bigger takeaway here
Speaker 1: is that the Ohio State defense needs a little work.
Speaker 1: It needs a little work. Yeah, for the high level
Speaker 1: of talent that they have on that team, it just
Speaker 1: needs a little work. Granted, they only gave up fourteen points.
Speaker 1: They shut out Minnesota in the second half. But if
Speaker 1: we're truly splitting hairs here and talking about what is
Speaker 1: our takeaway from Week seven for Ohio State, that would
Speaker 1: be the thing for me. The defense.
Speaker 2: Yeah. The other thing thing to me is when Ohio
Speaker 2: State's not running, you can make it a game. And
Speaker 2: it was a day where Weber and Dobbins just couldn't
Speaker 2: burst through. We're not getting separation. We're not consistently getting six, seven, eight,
Speaker 2: nine yards and a lot like those Baylor teams. I
Speaker 2: guess from six seven years ago, four years ago, whatever,
Speaker 2: I don't remember when they were last actually fun before
Speaker 2: you know, everything came out. You could let them throw
Speaker 2: the ball if you stop them on the ground, they
Speaker 2: were beatable, and teams eventually figure that out. And I
Speaker 2: don't know that Ohio State is on that lower level
Speaker 2: because that defense is still going to be good enough,
Speaker 2: and when Nick Bosa comes back, they're gonna be able
Speaker 2: to get after the quarterback to even a scarier extent.
Speaker 2: But this was what twenty to fourteen going into the
Speaker 2: fourth quarter. I guess a Minnesota team who was just
Speaker 2: drilled by Maryland. I don't know. I'm worried about Ohio State,
Speaker 2: but I can't you know, other than I guess Michigan.
Speaker 2: I guess Michigan and Michigan State. But I still think
Speaker 2: that Ohio State is in a good enough position because
Speaker 2: of Dwayne Haskins and his just never ending cavalry of receivers.
Speaker 2: I think it was kJ Hill yesterday who went off.
Speaker 1: It was his week.
Speaker 2: No, you know, one week, it's Austin mac another, it's
Speaker 2: Johnny Dixon's another, it's mclaurin's whatever. And just because they
Speaker 2: can get that sort of instant offense, it's difficult to
Speaker 2: truly worry about Ohio State against anybody below a top
Speaker 2: fifteen team.
Speaker 1: Right Iowa forty two, Indiana sixteen to our everlasting shame.
Speaker 1: We forgot to mention this game on the Wednesday show.
Speaker 2: We did, and I mean we talked about Nate Stanley
Speaker 2: enough during the fantasy things. Yeah no, it covered us
Speaker 2: for weeks like that.
Speaker 1: But we've earned enough goodwill in the Iowa community. But
Speaker 1: I'd love to say we forgot about this one because
Speaker 1: we saw this coming, but we didn't. The line was
Speaker 1: just Iowa minus three and a half something like that.
Speaker 1: An offensive explosion for the Hawkeys, three twenty six touchdowns
Speaker 1: through the air for Nate Stanley, the fourth straight game
Speaker 1: where Iowa has now gone over four hundred yards of
Speaker 1: total offense. Dan.
Speaker 2: This is true against an Indiana defense that has been
Speaker 2: decent enough. I'm not going to tell you this is
Speaker 2: a superpower defense. But at this point, is Nate Stanley
Speaker 2: right now with what he's done these past I guess
Speaker 2: three weeks and it's not the biggest level of competition.
Speaker 2: Is he the second best pure thrower it's thus far
Speaker 2: this season? Is he ahead of Trace McSorley, behind Haskins.
Speaker 2: I mean, look at I mean, I'm diving into the
Speaker 2: numbers right now, just against Big ten teams, Nate Stanley
Speaker 2: is probably I mean he has three still numbers.
Speaker 1: I'll still take tray soorly in a big game situation,
Speaker 1: but statistically speaking, you're probably right.
Speaker 2: I mean, Nate Stanley had if you compare the Ohio
Speaker 2: state matchups.
Speaker 1: Okay, forty two to sixteen your final here, let's move on.
Speaker 1: Northwestern thirty four Nebraska thirty one. This one went to
Speaker 1: overtime because Nebraska blew a ten point lead in the
Speaker 1: final five forty one regulation. For the first time in forever, Dan,
Speaker 1: it dawned to me that Northwestern has an identity, and
Speaker 1: it's really an identity by subtraction if such thing does exist.
Speaker 1: Because Jeremy Larkin can't play right, he got hurt. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a bummer, huge bummer. But because of that, there's
Speaker 1: just no real rushing attack to speak of. And it's
Speaker 1: clear that when you only manage thirty two yards in
Speaker 1: the ground against the defense of this Nebraska caliber, really
Speaker 1: you can't run on anyone.
Speaker 2: Right, Nebraska's defense is the cure for the common rus
Speaker 2: This is correct.
Speaker 1: So now we're out of place where they're just going
Speaker 1: to let Clayton Thorson throw at sixty four times, And
Speaker 1: you know what, I am fine with that. I think
Speaker 1: I want to call this the new look Northwestern offense
Speaker 1: because I finally feel like it makes sense to me
Speaker 1: watching it or trying to project it. We just know
Speaker 1: that they're going to let him throw it a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of times, and hey, that could be kind of
Speaker 1: fun to watch. In this case, Nebraska probably should have won.
Speaker 1: They blew it down the stretch worse starting the history
Speaker 1: of forever. I don't know. I'm sure Nebraska fans aren't
Speaker 1: excited about being.
Speaker 2: They've never started zero and six. This is this is
Speaker 2: the one.
Speaker 1: The one. Yeah, I'm sure Nebraska fans aren't excited about that.
Speaker 1: I still feel very optimistic about Scott Frost. A tough
Speaker 1: one here, that'll sting for a while, but I thought
Speaker 1: some positive signs here, just that they're seemingly playing a
Speaker 1: little bit better on offense with Adrian Martinez. Despite the
Speaker 1: three point loss.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Devin Zigbo was good on the ground, they couldn't
Speaker 2: close it there. Overtime was was horrid to watch tie.
Speaker 2: I mean that that fourth and one bad snap, throwing
Speaker 2: it up and hoping for the best. It was a
Speaker 2: painful watch the way that Nebraska lost this game. I
Speaker 2: you know, Northwestern is America's grower. I guess just every
Speaker 2: year they're just going to look like nuclear waste in
Speaker 2: the first month of the season and then slowly just
Speaker 2: chip away at everybody else on their schedule. And it
Speaker 2: sucks to watch. Nebraska should have probably been n acron
Speaker 2: to start the season, and they had that opportunity against Colorado,
Speaker 2: and they had the chances and the lead against Northwestern,
Speaker 2: but it's a it's not particularly good TV right now,
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 1: And elsewhere in the Big Ten, very quickly, we had
Speaker 1: Maryland thirty four, Rutgers seven. And I say this with
Speaker 1: no disrespect to Maryland, but as one of our callers
Speaker 1: pointed out, the highlight of this game may have been
Speaker 1: Rutgers finishing with eight total passing yards and I believe
Speaker 1: five interceptions.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a numbers thing. And still and yet so
Speaker 2: what you call him King Arthur, We might have to down.
Speaker 1: We may have to downgrade that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, two of sixteen for eight yards and four picks.
Speaker 2: And yet, however, the math works out a UBR above
Speaker 2: one point zero, something that Alex Hornybrook did not get to.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 2: However, QBR has figured out. Congratulations to Big Art Sitkowski
Speaker 2: and a QBR of one point one.
Speaker 1: And finally we had Purdue forty six Illinois seven, six
Speaker 1: hundred and eleven total yards for the boiler Makers. Yeah, offensive,
Speaker 1: maybe another grower possibly, you never know.
Speaker 2: Purdue has to finish. I mean, they go to Michigan
Speaker 2: State in a couple weeks. They have Ohio State this
Speaker 2: coming week. I believe, Yes, Minnesota Wisconsin. It's a tough schedule.
Speaker 2: I imagine between Ohio State and Michigan State Wisconsin. They're
Speaker 2: winning it. They're winning one of those.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the acc where Uva the Cavaliers, the
Speaker 1: Who's knocked off Miami sixteenth to thirteen. The Virginia defense
Speaker 1: came through in a big way here. Nikosi Perry got yanked.
Speaker 1: He was only in for four offensive series before it
Speaker 1: was apparent he couldn't crack the code. They brought Milik Rogier.
Speaker 1: He was a little better, but not not all that much.
Speaker 1: I did you watch any of this game?
Speaker 2: I did. It was on a side TV, so I
Speaker 2: was back in. My eyeballs were back and forth. This
Speaker 2: game was another tough one.
Speaker 1: I felt like this is what football used to be
Speaker 1: before they invented touchdowns.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was I mean to lose a game to
Speaker 2: a quarterback who throws three picks and to play as
Speaker 2: well as Miami's defense did. Miami's defense did more than
Speaker 2: enough to win this game and got nothing from this offense.
Speaker 2: I don't think Malik Roger is It's not Rosier.
Speaker 1: Apparently apparently not.
Speaker 2: It's Malik Rose Rose. He is a very average quarterback,
Speaker 2: and Perry has the higher ceiling. I understand the start
Speaker 2: was atrocious QBR zero point one, but for Miami's offense
Speaker 2: to not be able to get seventeen points against Virginia,
Speaker 2: they were They were undisciplined, the play calling was all
Speaker 2: over the place. And shout out to Virginia for winning
Speaker 2: this game. But I can't imagine that if you told
Speaker 2: Virginia players about what happened in this game, they'd be like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: we lost by two and a half touchdowns. If what
Speaker 2: you're saying we perform like is true, yeah we lost
Speaker 2: by fifteen, sixteen points. It's like now you won by three. Congrats,
Speaker 2: so happy, happy coincidence, happy uh surprise for the.
Speaker 1: Virginia Now four and two seven five looks very attainable
Speaker 1: for Bronco man, I like, yeah, Adam, Mini mummies going
Speaker 1: back to a Bowl for the second straight year, which
Speaker 1: is a good sign for this program elsewhere in the
Speaker 1: ACC very quickly. I'm going to run through these Dan
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech twenty two UNC nineteen. Tech was on the
Speaker 1: ropes here. They couldn't really get any momentum. They were
Speaker 1: giving up big chunks on defense. But I think Tech
Speaker 1: fans are going to look at the last six minutes
Speaker 1: of this game for a while. That final drive by
Speaker 1: Ian Willis was a thing of beauty. They converted four
Speaker 1: third downs, They had a heroic fourth and nine where
Speaker 1: he was bounced around a bit. They ultimately end up
Speaker 1: winning this football game again twenty two to nineteen, So
Speaker 1: nice win for Tech. Duke wins twenty eight to fourteen
Speaker 1: over Georgia Tech Duke quietly shitting at five and one.
Speaker 1: They could end up being like an eight and fourteen
Speaker 1: this year. If you're super optimistic, you can get all
Speaker 1: the way up to nine and three. But eight and
Speaker 1: four feels very very likely to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they go to Clemson, and I believe they go
Speaker 2: to Miami, and listen, these are not two perfect teams
Speaker 2: Miami and Clemson. I like Duke, I don't believe enthusiastically
Speaker 2: in them. But yeah, eight and four, nine and three,
Speaker 2: with this schedule, how would shaping up? You can't convince
Speaker 2: me dramatically otherwise.
Speaker 1: And finally, Boston College thirty eight Louisville twenty. AJ Dillon
Speaker 1: actually still out because of injury for Boston College, but
Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter because they played Louisville. Have the
Speaker 1: Jeff bram to Louisville rumors started yet? Just asking First, I.
Speaker 2: Don't know what I don't know what the buyout of
Speaker 2: his contract looks like. And by the way, that means
Speaker 2: brom and I think Petrino's contract might be kind of
Speaker 2: difficult to lift and separate, so it might be another
Speaker 2: year before Louisville's able to move on. But Louisville's a
Speaker 2: nightmare and BC, by the way they stomp them on,
Speaker 2: They killed them over and over again, and so it
Speaker 2: is amazing. And people that pay closer to attention to
Speaker 2: Louisville football surely will know better than I or you
Speaker 2: or whoever looking at this game somewhat from afar. I
Speaker 2: did not watch much of this game, but Bobby Patrino
Speaker 2: teams they'll fall off a cliff. They don't They don't slide.
Speaker 2: It's it's what is it? Thelman Louise, Yeah, it's uh.
Speaker 2: It sucks to see because there is still a good
Speaker 2: amount of talent on this Louisville team. I really like
Speaker 2: their receiving corps. I like a couple of their backs,
Speaker 2: and I know we've both felt that Puma pass was
Speaker 2: going to be I mean, he's not going to be
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson, but thought he would be put in a
Speaker 2: better position to succeed and make more plays than he has.
Speaker 1: Let's move over to the SEC. Florida thirty seven Vanderbilt
Speaker 1: twenty seven at nice little front door cover here, Dan So,
Speaker 1: the Gators trailed twenty one thirteen and a half. Vandy
Speaker 1: seemed to be having a lot of success, but in
Speaker 1: the second half.
Speaker 2: That was that was a happy twenty one thirteen.
Speaker 1: But it was so very happy. It was twenty one three,
Speaker 1: very quick for sure. In the second half, Florida imposed
Speaker 1: its will. They outscored Andy twenty four to six. It was,
Speaker 1: if nothing else, a sloppy let down win for Florida,
Speaker 1: but again on a weekend that was all about surviving
Speaker 1: and advancing. What do they say, you don't have to
Speaker 1: be faster than the bear, just faster than your buddy.
Speaker 1: And that's where we stood with this Florida Vandy game.
Speaker 1: Florida has Georgia in two weeks. As we said earlier
Speaker 1: that game, I am. I'm eager to get your thoughts
Speaker 1: on that game when the time comes. But for now,
Speaker 1: nice win for Florida.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think it's it's time to start making
Speaker 2: peace with Florida's offense taking steps in the right direction.
Speaker 2: Felipe Frank's making plays. Michael p Ryan is probably one
Speaker 2: of the what three, four or five best running backs
Speaker 2: in the SEC.
Speaker 1: Good likes real good.
Speaker 2: There is a rhythm to Florida that we haven't really seen. Granted,
Speaker 2: yes it's Vandy. Yes Florida should have been them forty
Speaker 2: five to ten, but they Florida hasn't been a team
Speaker 2: to come back when they've gone down big these past
Speaker 2: few years. And so I really am I am believing
Speaker 2: that games like these can ultimately be an indicator in
Speaker 2: the in the sort of big picture of Florida.
Speaker 1: Tennessee thirty Auburn twenty four. First things, first, congrats to Tennessee.
Speaker 1: Nice win. They went on the road, they got the
Speaker 1: w they rallied they broke their eleven game SEC losing streak,
Speaker 1: and so all of that taken in tandem, to me,
Speaker 1: that represents a clear sign of progress for Jeremy Pruett
Speaker 1: in this program. Jared Wuarrntano picked Auburn.
Speaker 2: Apart, oh my gosh, surgical.
Speaker 1: He picked them apart. He didn't turn the ball over defensively.
Speaker 1: Tennessee forced Jared Stidham to turn it over three times.
Speaker 1: Tennessee came to play in this football game, so good
Speaker 1: fitod for good for Big Orange. That being said, we
Speaker 1: may be at a point where Auburn could come off
Speaker 1: the tracks pretty quickly here, Dan.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is this is a Tennessee team that Auburn
Speaker 2: should be yes at home with a healthy Jarrett Stidham with.
Speaker 2: I understand the offensive line issues, I understand the running
Speaker 2: game issues. I understand the injuries in the second and
Speaker 2: the excuse me in the receiving corps. But this is
Speaker 2: an Auburn team that should be beating a Tennessee team
Speaker 2: at home. I don't know what's happened to this offense.
Speaker 2: I watched a chunk of this game Tennessee just there
Speaker 2: was more fight to Tennessee. There was more spirit to
Speaker 2: Tennessee on both sides of the ball. And it's a
Speaker 2: positive way. When I say it should have been a sign,
Speaker 2: it should have been a sign seeing how Tennessee played
Speaker 2: even in losses. The Florida game was ugly and the
Speaker 2: crazy amount of turnovers, But you know the way they
Speaker 2: did play to play, to play against Georgia, the way
Speaker 2: that they have fought, the way that they have looked
Speaker 2: like they've had more belief than they have in the
Speaker 2: recent years under Butch Davis. I am. I'm not buying low,
Speaker 2: but I am encouraged right now by Tennessee.
Speaker 1: Next week, Auburn is on the road at Ole Miss.
Speaker 1: They're only a three and a half point favorite, and
Speaker 1: they're on by before a game against A and M.
Speaker 1: They also play on the road at Georgia, on the
Speaker 1: road at Bama in November. Yes, and ain't getting any
Speaker 1: easier for the Tigers. See which direction they had now
Speaker 1: moving forward? So in the SEC A and M knocks
Speaker 1: off South Carolina on the road twenty six to twenty three.
Speaker 1: A and M held the ball for forty one minutes
Speaker 1: and twenty nine seconds in this football game, Dan.
Speaker 2: They did, and the offensive line isn't great right now
Speaker 2: for Yan M. But it's okay, they've already played Alabama.
Speaker 2: I was impressed with Kellen Mond in this game. I
Speaker 2: figured Travon Williams would do more against the South Carolina front.
Speaker 2: But still impressive all things considered. In a let down
Speaker 2: A potential letdown spot after the overtime win against Kentucky,
Speaker 2: did you see I think it's Jace Sternberg, the big
Speaker 2: tight end for A and M just dragging the South
Speaker 2: Carolina safe.
Speaker 1: Amazing.
Speaker 2: Have you ever dragged anything for thirty yards, let alone
Speaker 2: a human? Wow? So yes. I think Kendrick Rodgers is
Speaker 2: still hurt, is out with the bump foot. So impressive
Speaker 2: for A and M to have the slack picked up
Speaker 2: by a couple other guys. A good survive in advance.
Speaker 2: Use that term earlier for texts A and M with
Speaker 2: moments that weren't great, especially for that defense another and
Speaker 2: if you can believe it, another targeting call for Donovan Wilson.
Speaker 2: But A and M you can see the pieces coming together.
Speaker 1: You mentioned Alabama. Alabama wins by a thirty nine to
Speaker 1: ten score. The story coming out of this game was
Speaker 1: to a tongue of Aya LOOA tongue about reaggravating his knee.
Speaker 1: He had a niece brain he reaggravated. It doesn't seem
Speaker 1: like it's anything serious, but that will be the main
Speaker 1: thing to watch now as we progress forward through the
Speaker 1: rest of Alabama's season. Otherwise, you know, Alabama just Hoham
Speaker 1: picked off Drew Lock's very first pass of the game
Speaker 1: and sort of set the tone a twenty nine point win.
Speaker 1: Not really that much to add dan. They looked impressive
Speaker 1: as ever.
Speaker 2: I liked Miszoo's all of Mazoo's touchdown drive not drives.
Speaker 2: I liked their early drive. They scripted together a nice
Speaker 2: few plays to score the two. A thing is not
Speaker 2: terribly concerning right now. I hope everything is all right.
Speaker 2: I don't know which knee it is. I think he
Speaker 2: was wearing a brace in the first half, and then
Speaker 2: that came off, and you had tweeted out at a
Speaker 2: certain point, Tie that when will the Earth finally rid
Speaker 2: itself of every medical and legal TV show idea? Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know what they haven't done.
Speaker 4: Sports Trainer is fall no ABC, the medical tent, medicine
Speaker 4: in a ten x ten square foot space.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's there was I mean to his mom came
Speaker 2: in I saw that there was a whole It was
Speaker 2: a whole thing. Yeah, we hope he recovers quickly. They're
Speaker 2: not the same team with Jalen Hurts at quarterback, but
Speaker 2: they might be good enough. Probably still, they might still
Speaker 2: be good enough.
Speaker 1: All right. They went by twenty nine and to close
Speaker 1: out the sec ole Miss thirty seven, Arkansas thirty three.
Speaker 1: Big game for Jordan to Amu, who had over five
Speaker 1: hundred twenty yards of total offense. Let me move on, Dan,
Speaker 1: Let's go to the PAC twelve quick here and talk
Speaker 1: about USC thirty one Colorado twenty. USC is now thirteen
Speaker 1: and oer versus Colorado all time. They quietly got a
Speaker 1: nineteen game home winning streak. Somehow gotten lost in the shuffle,
Speaker 1: but a nice win for USC here. I thought, a
Speaker 1: good showing for the Trojan defense. They held Colorado down.
Speaker 1: They had four sacks, sixteen tackles for loss sixteen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's not gloss over that number. This is a
Speaker 2: this is a young defense. They were without Cam Smith
Speaker 2: there like seventeen year starting middle linebacker Porter Gustin was
Speaker 2: beat up. The secondary does not look anything like we
Speaker 2: thought it would look like, you know, January and February
Speaker 2: and they get after a really feisty Colorado offense.
Speaker 1: Absolutely so, I see not a great.
Speaker 2: Game for J. T. Daniels. You know, a couple pay
Speaker 2: I think the first throw of the game was a
Speaker 2: pick and was bailed out by you know, Michael Pittman's
Speaker 2: probably one of the quieter, really good receivers in the country.
Speaker 2: He bails him out on a really badly underthrown ball
Speaker 2: for a long touchdown. But yeah, you beat an undefeated
Speaker 2: Colorado team at home. Hopefully for USC and a conference
Speaker 2: that badly needs competitive teams, this is a sign of
Speaker 2: things to come for the true.
Speaker 1: USC also needs to clean up the penalties. They are
Speaker 1: currently dead last in FBS, averaging eleven and a half
Speaker 1: penalties per game. They had thirteen in this one. Leaviska Chanalt,
Speaker 1: by the way, we can't go a show without talking
Speaker 1: about him. We might get to him with dood alerts.
Speaker 1: But nine catches seventy two yards to carries forty six
Speaker 1: yards in a touchdown. He accounted for forty four point
Speaker 1: five percent of Colorado's offense in this football game.
Speaker 2: In a down game for Laviskas Chanalt, he had eleven
Speaker 2: touches for one hundred and twenty ish yards in a touchdown.
Speaker 1: Utah forty two Arizona ten Khalil Tait left the game
Speaker 1: after two drives with an ankle injury. Really though, Utah
Speaker 1: finding a way to get the job done on offense.
Speaker 1: This is quietly a story out west that we need
Speaker 1: to pay a little bit more attention to. Tyler Huntley
Speaker 1: over his last two games has completed seventy almost seventy
Speaker 1: eight percent of his passes for four hundred yards, three
Speaker 1: touchdowns and one interception, averaging about ten yards per attempt.
Speaker 1: Utah looked good a week ago on offense, looked good,
Speaker 1: really good against Arizona, granted not at top level defense,
Speaker 1: but on their first seven drives they had five touchdowns,
Speaker 1: one turnover on downs and then one that just sort
Speaker 1: of ended the half. You combine that with a very
Speaker 1: good defense that sacked Arizona five times. Arizona never really
Speaker 1: had a chance here.
Speaker 2: No Tyler Huntley throwing touchdownrushing touchdown, and I believe receiving
Speaker 2: touchdown correct Utah a definite grower. Their offense looked wolf
Speaker 2: left the first two or three weeks, and it's hard
Speaker 2: to stay two hung up on Arizona because they're just bad.
Speaker 2: They're just a bad college football team this year. And
Speaker 2: you know, Cleil Tate hasn't been the same, He's been
Speaker 2: beat up. He finally leaves this game. But Utah, with
Speaker 2: what I believe, they get Oregon at home. They've already
Speaker 2: lost to Washington, they have the close game against Wazoo.
Speaker 2: But they get USC and Salt Lake City. That's that's
Speaker 2: not going to be great for the Trojans. That Salt
Speaker 2: Lake City is not at place that USC particularly likes
Speaker 2: to play well. And they host Oregon and their road
Speaker 2: stuff isn't I mean, it's at UCLA, at ASU, at
Speaker 2: Colorado and they close out the season with Holy what.
Speaker 2: All right, but I'm confident in this Utah team.
Speaker 1: All right. And finally in the PAC twelve UCLA thirty seven,
Speaker 1: Cal seven. It's UCLA's first road win since September seventeenth
Speaker 1: and twenty sixteen, their first road conference win since November
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. On the road at Utah, they forced five
Speaker 1: turnovers from Cal. Cal have been very turnover prone this year.
Speaker 1: They've had nineteen in five games, but five in this game.
Speaker 1: UCLA seems to be figuring things out. A little bit. Now,
Speaker 1: if you look at the split on how many times
Speaker 1: they ran versus past fifty five rushes versus only fifteen
Speaker 1: throwing attempts, I feel like this is going to a
Speaker 1: place now where we're starting to see more of a
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly offense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Cal's not particularly good. I know their defense
Speaker 2: had a nice start to the year, and they still
Speaker 2: do have good pieces on that side of the ball.
Speaker 2: But it's the story here is UCLA breaking through. I
Speaker 2: don't want to take too much away from UCLA because
Speaker 2: there Dorian Thompson Robinson has quietly ascended to a pretty
Speaker 2: fun level, and you can see the potential if he
Speaker 2: has surrounded I mean, his offensive line is coming together
Speaker 2: nicely if he surrounded with probably better level receivers than
Speaker 2: he has right now pass catchers. The other story is
Speaker 2: Josh Kelly. Yeah, used to lay these past couple of years,
Speaker 2: could not run at all the last couple of years
Speaker 2: of the Jimora era, and quietly have had a couple
Speaker 2: of good running backs in what it was Paul Perkins
Speaker 2: before that, Jonathan Franklin forever and Josh Kelly the UC Davis.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you're familiar with the Aggies, the
Speaker 2: proud Aggies of UC Davis. But Josh Kelly has transferred
Speaker 2: in from there, and these past couple weeks against not
Speaker 2: insignificant opponents in Washington, cal has become quite the name.
Speaker 2: So good for him. And if you're in Davis, California,
Speaker 2: get the garlic fries at Pluto's.
Speaker 1: Josh Kelly sixty two carries four hundred and six yards.
Speaker 1: That's an average of six point five yards per carry
Speaker 1: and four touchdowns over his last three games.
Speaker 2: You can build around that, ty, you can for sure.
Speaker 1: All right, let's close it out and talk about the
Speaker 1: Big twelve. Another non marquee matchup for the Horns and
Speaker 1: another close win for Texas twenty three to seventeen. Was
Speaker 1: your final? This one came down to the final play.
Speaker 1: Charlie Brewer threw it out of bouts. But yeah, another
Speaker 1: case where you called it not a marquee matchup. Texas
Speaker 1: doesn't cover the points where they win, and clearly they've
Speaker 1: moved up now well into the top ten. They are
Speaker 1: positioned nicely. But of note is the fact that Sam
Speaker 1: Ellinger hurt his throwing shoulder early. He did not return.
Speaker 1: We saw Shane Buschell come in and get the job done.
Speaker 1: But certainly the severity of that injury, and I haven't
Speaker 1: seen anything throughout the course of today, that injury has
Speaker 1: a lot to say about where Texas's season goes and
Speaker 1: where the Big twelve goes.
Speaker 2: Well, you yourself are an elite athlete who has dealt
Speaker 2: with shoulders. Of course, for sure, it's an ac joint
Speaker 2: sprain for Sam Ellinger, which I think it's grade one.
Speaker 2: I don't know how good or bad that is. They
Speaker 2: say they have a bye week, right, and they said
Speaker 2: they expect him to be in like a pretty good
Speaker 2: position to potentially play. It was very vague language with
Speaker 2: regards to the Baylor game itself. Baylor did, Baylor made plays,
Speaker 2: there was a weird non interception that seemed like an interception,
Speaker 2: and Texas did just enough to pull this game out.
Speaker 2: But yes, the ceiling becomes demonstrably lower without Sam Ellinger
Speaker 2: because this defense can't do it alone. I know they're
Speaker 2: going to get up for those big games, but I'm
Speaker 2: worried about this Texas team without Ellinger. All right, if
Speaker 2: that should come to pass.
Speaker 1: Let's go over to Texas Tech seventeen TCU fourteen. This
Speaker 1: one on Thursday night. Did I say it out loud
Speaker 1: or was I just thinking it in my head that
Speaker 1: we were thinking shootout and this was going to end
Speaker 1: up being like seventeen fourteen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, having to I mean, if you nailed it, you
Speaker 2: nailed it, and listen, I give you all thy credits.
Speaker 2: Texas Tech that has a full on occasional defense. I
Speaker 2: don't know how we can qualify this, but since that
Speaker 2: Oklahoma State game, they keep Oklahoma State to seventeen, they
Speaker 2: hold down TCU to fourteen, They basically shut out West
Speaker 2: Virginia in the second half. I don't want to speak
Speaker 2: out of turn here, ty, Texas Tech defense might be
Speaker 2: approaching respectable.
Speaker 1: WHOA I would say they're texting with the defense. They
Speaker 1: don't quite have it yet, but they're on again, off again,
Speaker 1: at least flirting with them.
Speaker 2: They're charming. They're charming with the text.
Speaker 1: A lot of emojis going back and forth there, but
Speaker 1: like good.
Speaker 2: Gift usage and yes, friends, it's gift, they're savvy with
Speaker 2: the texting.
Speaker 1: Too many mistakes for TCU in this game. Gary Patterson
Speaker 1: was pretty vocal about that after the game. He just
Speaker 1: can't turn it over the way they did. And now
Speaker 1: next week TCU is at home against Oklahoma, so it's
Speaker 1: not going to get any easier for them. We're coming
Speaker 1: to a point again where TCU has let me down
Speaker 1: for like the consecutive year. Set it at the top
Speaker 1: of the season that I was back on with TCU.
Speaker 1: Now it seems like maybe we're back off again.
Speaker 2: Baby, I've changed, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, Please have changed?
Speaker 2: Come on, I got my own place, baby, please, I'm
Speaker 2: a new me. Yeah, TCU is, it's not. It's just
Speaker 2: a down year for the Frogs. It's all in here
Speaker 2: and too many mistakes and not being able to move
Speaker 2: the ball consistently on the ground. Defensively, they look like TCU.
Speaker 2: And by the way, just speaking of weird awkward moments
Speaker 2: on this show, Jet Duffy kind of pulled in this
Speaker 2: game and then McClain Carter gets hurt and Cliff has
Speaker 2: to do the whole ooh uh, so I guess if
Speaker 2: you're still willing, we need you and comes through. Jet
Speaker 2: Duffy makes plays, has that long run, and Texas Tech another.
Speaker 2: I mean, they're quietly four and two in a big
Speaker 2: twelve that is looking like there are two very you know,
Speaker 2: we've talked about this conference as a as a conference
Speaker 2: with a very healthy middle class, but it appears that
Speaker 2: the haves and have nots are sort of separating themselves,
Speaker 2: and Texas Tech is on the good side.
Speaker 1: There are a lot of quiet teams like Tech, like Duke,
Speaker 1: like Virginia. We could have a whole silent but deadly
Speaker 1: episode if we wanted, Yes, it would be quite appropriate
Speaker 1: at some point this season. And then finally K State
Speaker 1: thirty one Oklahoma State twelve. I think K State is
Speaker 1: quickly coming to a point where they're just like, f it,
Speaker 1: We're gonna run at every play, like what's what's what's
Speaker 1: even the point here? Alex Barnes has had two games,
Speaker 1: might still be running two games that are like incredible.
Speaker 1: One hundred and eighty one yards of four touchdowns on
Speaker 1: the ground in this game, also had fifty one yard receiving.
Speaker 1: If you add that in with what he did last week,
Speaker 1: five hundred and four total yards, seven total touchdowns for
Speaker 1: Alex Barnes in K State. Again, why do anything else
Speaker 1: when you could just give it to him?
Speaker 2: Do you think Bill Snyder and Joe Morehead had a
Speaker 2: call after the game or maybe when they shook hands
Speaker 2: at the middle of the field. We're just like, hey,
Speaker 2: should we just run? What are we doing?
Speaker 1: Like? What if?
Speaker 2: Should we just?
Speaker 1: What if we just ran?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I was thinking just keep running. This reminds me a
Speaker 1: lot of old school Yukon. Yeah, Jordan Toddman Randietzel part one,
Speaker 1: but they just ran it fifty times a game with
Speaker 1: Jordan Todman and smart enough to say, you know what,
Speaker 1: maybe we shouldn't throw it a lot with Dan or lost.
Speaker 2: We shouldn't. Maybe let's see what happens, let's you know
Speaker 2: what fit, let's go to the Fiesta ball And also
Speaker 2: Oklahoma State, what what happened?
Speaker 1: I have no idea?
Speaker 2: What are you so? Yes? See the Texas Tech game.
Speaker 2: I was willing to believe that was and a non
Speaker 2: you know, maybe a let down after that really impressive
Speaker 2: win over Boise State. They kind of comfortably, kind of
Speaker 2: weirdly beat Kansas on the road. They lose a shootout
Speaker 2: to an Iowa State team, and you're like, okay, well,
Speaker 2: Iowa States, you know, they've been improving pretty steadily these
Speaker 2: past couple of years. Losing scoring twelve against Kansas State.
Speaker 2: This Kansas State to get it, Ah, Oklahoma State, you're
Speaker 2: not on the right side of the haves and have
Speaker 2: nots right now?
Speaker 1: All right, well there you go. Any other tidbits here,
Speaker 1: Dan that we need to tell the fine people about.
Speaker 2: I got lots of bits, Ty, you know, you know me,
Speaker 2: I got lots of bits. First of all, on the
Speaker 2: ESPN Plus show I do every week with our pel
Speaker 2: Jeff Schwartz, my mystery pick was Princeton minus forty and
Speaker 2: a half over Brown. I nailed Colgate last week. This
Speaker 2: week I went Princeton. They don't cover. They only went
Speaker 2: by thirty South Florida. I mean, obviously I'm gonna lead
Speaker 2: with Princeton. Everybody know. Sure, South Florida needs every second
Speaker 2: of the game to beat Tulsa. What was our it was?
Speaker 2: It was the what was something cattle? It was the
Speaker 2: comeback cattle, the cardiac cattle. So yeah, they are an
Speaker 2: l ro O team. They're going to lose, and they're
Speaker 2: going to lose in spectacular fashion. Sooner or later, that's fine.
Speaker 2: They're still pretty good. I'm trying to think what else
Speaker 2: stood out to me. Utah State and app State maybe
Speaker 2: the two best group of five teams right now? Is
Speaker 2: that is that crazy to see? I think Jordan Love
Speaker 2: is pretty incredible to watch. App State proved itself to
Speaker 2: be for real with that Penn State game and then
Speaker 2: subsequently murdering everybody else San Diego State. If you want
Speaker 2: to talk about what they're five and one. They have
Speaker 2: the bad loss, and you disrespected them. I did. I
Speaker 2: most certainly did you have them. I owe you a
Speaker 2: breakfast burrito because of it. After they take down Arizona States,
Speaker 2: Buffalo a very at six and one with a pretty
Speaker 2: comfortable win over Akron and you know, I'm not going
Speaker 2: to repeat your nickname for their star receiver, but just
Speaker 2: know he exists. UA be another quiet five and one.
Speaker 2: They murder Rice and put up some huge numbers through
Speaker 2: the air. North Texas. That solid verbal bump the mean
Speaker 2: Green six and one right now, led by their defense,
Speaker 2: which I can't imagine was a popular way of looking
Speaker 2: at Seth Latrell in this team. But they comfortably beat
Speaker 2: Southern miss Western Michigan gets to five and two, bowling
Speaker 2: Green fires their head coach. I saw that Interim Carl
Speaker 2: Polini did not expect to say that those three words
Speaker 2: together in twenty eighteen. But here we are. Navy appears
Speaker 2: to be down this year. We'll see if they can
Speaker 2: come back the second half of the season, but they
Speaker 2: lose to Temple and Jeff Collins hasn't lost in conference.
Speaker 2: And I think it's slowly building Temple into something. I mean,
Speaker 2: there's I don't know what it is, ty Temple all
Speaker 2: of the sudden a string of promising coaches is that.
Speaker 2: It's very strange to say.
Speaker 1: But well, we should do some contract work for other
Speaker 1: schools looking for coaches.
Speaker 2: Yes, they are evaluating well. And Houston gets to five
Speaker 2: and one. Another impressive day for the Cougars. And you
Speaker 2: mentioned Virginia Tech. I don't think. I mean BYU makes
Speaker 2: a quarterback change. Tanner Mangum somehow is not still the quarterback.
Speaker 2: They turned to a freshman, Zach Wilson, who at nineteen
Speaker 2: I believe is the youngest quarterback ever to start a
Speaker 2: game from BYU. Yeah, that's the thing. And very quietly,
Speaker 2: if we're just going to speak about silent but deadly,
Speaker 2: Fresno has that loss to Minnesota, that crazy last second loss,
Speaker 2: but Marcus mcmaary and the Oregon State transfer quarterback has
Speaker 2: been pretty electric for them. They demolish Wyoming. Fresno State
Speaker 2: probably has one of the best twelve to fourteen defenses
Speaker 2: in the country, so pretty cool on the San Joaquin
Speaker 2: Valley's finest and Jeff Tedfords Fresno Se And you got
Speaker 2: any dudes, so Ty, I always have dudes, all right?
Speaker 1: Who we've got here in week sex breathlessly.
Speaker 2: Usc is entire damn defense, Alex Barnes, CJ. Verdell, who
Speaker 2: is enormous for Oregon, and they're upset purty like a
Speaker 2: Brock Star Brock perty Felton Davis, Xavier Ubosi. I mentioned
Speaker 2: Uab he had damn near two hundred yards through the
Speaker 2: air catching receiving. Excuse me, Tyler Huntley. We mentioned Jordan
Speaker 2: Love for Utah State another I think at five touchdown passes,
Speaker 2: Michigan's entire offensive line, Iowa's tight ends TJ. Hockinson and
Speaker 2: Noah Fant the most Iowa sounding tight ends in the world.
Speaker 2: Carter Kaughlin who was everywhere from Minnesota on their defensive line.
Speaker 2: Assumption College and I guess LSU College is Cole Tracy
Speaker 2: made a ton of field goals for LSU. And you, Ty,
Speaker 2: you're a dude, this thank you putting up with this ridiculous,
Speaker 2: ridiculous equipment issue we're having.
Speaker 1: Well It's been a long, tiring day and weekend, but
Speaker 1: nonetheless a lot of.
Speaker 2: Our what our sixth seventh recording attempt.
Speaker 1: At least, we started at nine point thirty this morning
Speaker 1: and it wasn't until about high noon that we decided
Speaker 1: to pack it in to take five or take take
Speaker 1: nine hours whatever, yeah, and give herself a chance to
Speaker 1: figure this out, and then we started back up. It
Speaker 1: didn't work. Switch MIC's mid episode. We're going to get
Speaker 1: a podcast out there, well probably hopefully.
Speaker 2: If you're listening to it, congratulations, did.
Speaker 1: We did it? Hopefully we'll get things figured out in
Speaker 1: time for Wednesday. I think we will. But yeah, a
Speaker 1: monumental showing of stamina here by both you and I.
Speaker 2: Dan, I got a belly full of luxurious Indian food
Speaker 2: and still nothing but love for week seven, Daniel.
Speaker 1: On that note, a very fun week. We will be
Speaker 1: back on Wednesday to break down all of week eight.
Speaker 1: The slate isn't as robust as we saw in week seven,
Speaker 1: but if the last couple weeks have been any indication,
Speaker 1: it'll be just as crazy as ever. So keep it
