Oh man, 20 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: there's that feels like three weeks ago. Yeah, that so 21 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: much has happened since then, with whatever Michigan, Ohio State 22 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: with Clemson, South Carolina with Texas, Texas A and M 23 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: with Washington, or there's so much to talk about, not 24 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: the least of which the FCS playoffs tie.

By the way, 60 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: you could have said any conference and be like, yeah, 61 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: that conference was real screwy and worth talking about. Let's 62 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: do it. So yes, Big ten counts. 63 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 2: They all had kind of their own flavor for sure 64 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 2: of chaos. But the one that definitely got everybody stirred 65 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 2: up was what transpired in the Michigan, Ohio State game. 66 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 2: It is the biggest rivalry in the sport, and it 67 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 2: lived up to the billing. Your final here, shockingly so 68 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 2: was thirteen to ten. Yeah, in favor of the par 69 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 2: of the Michigan Wolverines. I still can't get over this. 70 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 2: I am still shocked at this result. 71 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, Michigan not super competitive against Illinois, but bring them 72 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: Ohio State. Throw those records out and it's it's gonna 73 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: get weird and ugly and chaotic. Yeah. I look, Michigan's 74 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: defense at times this year has shown life. When you 75 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: have the defensive line that Michigan has had this year, 76 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: for better or for worse, you play against an injured 77 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: offensive line that is trying to establish the run non 78 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: stop for some reason. And I understand establishing the run, 79 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: I get it, But if it's never gonna happen, maybe 80 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: let's establish literally anything else. Yeah, and Ohio State just 81 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: completely a rhythmic offensively near the end of that game. 82 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: You know they have the two missed field goals of 83 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: course play a role here, But if Ohio State football 84 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: in the year of our lower twenty twenty four is 85 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: relying on two missed field goals to make or break 86 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: their big ten championship, eventual Big Ten championship. Hope something 87 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: is wrong, Ty, something is wrong at its core. 88 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 2: It's it's just striking to me that the whole narrative 89 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 2: this offseason was that, oh Ryan Days loading up. Now, yeah, 90 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 2: he's loading up right, went out got Chip Kelly. That 91 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 2: was seen in some circles as like a killer of 92 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 2: a move, right, This guy's cold blooded, He's going for 93 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 2: the throat. Now, enough's enough with this Michigan thing. And 94 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 2: they went out. They get guys like Caleb Downs and 95 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,679 Speaker 2: Will Howard and Quinchewn Judkins. It was a targeted approach 96 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 2: within the portal to make this roster better, but obviously 97 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 2: they want to go to the playoff and win something 98 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 2: in the playoff. These seasons in Columbus are measured by 99 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 2: how you do against Michigan. 100 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: They just are. 101 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 2: And one thing that struck me is I was watching 102 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 2: this and it was probably in large part due to 103 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 2: the Michigan defense, which played its ass off and did 104 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 2: a good job and was able to contain all of 105 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 2: those Ohio State weapons. But there were moments in this 106 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 2: game where I found myself asking is Ohio State playing 107 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 2: not to lose? Are they playing not to. It felt 108 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 2: like there were just moments here where you knew that 109 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 2: there was more in the war chest that they just 110 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 2: were not letting out. And I'm thinking of a particular 111 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 2: series down near the goal line where they kind of 112 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 2: ran it three straight times, and it just like there 113 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 2: were moments in this game that left me, as a 114 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 2: fan of neither team feeling very underwhelmed, particularly on the 115 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 2: Ohio State side. And I'd imagine if I were on 116 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 2: Ohio State fan right now, I would feel sick because 117 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 2: this game was there, this game. Obviously, coming into this one, 118 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 2: you were a three touchdown favorite thereabouts, and there was 119 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 2: so much out in front of you, Big Ten Championship playoff. 120 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 2: I still think they're going to get in the playoff. 121 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 2: We can get to that in a moment here. But 122 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 2: to lose to the hated rival now for four straight 123 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 2: years in a season in which Michigan was very limited Dan, 124 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 2: that's sort of the other element to this. It's not 125 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 2: like Michigan wasn't really playing with the quarterback this year. 126 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 2: You know, that's kind of been a that's been the 127 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 2: punchline for sure, and more for Michigan for anybody rooting 128 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 2: against Michigan looking at that quarterback situations, it's been bleak, 129 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 2: and especially now in this one. It wasn't just no quarterback, 130 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 2: but it was no Colston Loveland. It was Nobil Johnson. 131 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 2: This was a not just a limited Michigan team coming 132 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 2: into this game, but it was even more limited given 133 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 2: some of the absence that we saw with some notables. 134 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 2: So it's confounding to me that Ryan Day again would 135 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 2: would find himself sort of in this awkward position of 136 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 2: having lost again to Michigan. I don't know where you 137 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 2: go from here now, if you're Ohio State, honestly, can 138 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 2: you point to any one thing, any one reason why 139 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 2: they keep losing. I mean, it was one thing when 140 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 2: it was a loaded roster on the other side, it 141 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 2: was Jim Harbaugh coaching, but this roster was far less loaded. 142 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 2: And this ain't Jim Harbaugh. This guy's getting help from 143 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh, frankly, and I'm still it's hours later, I'm 144 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 2: twelve hours later. I still can't get over this. 145 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, Ohio State playing in simple has a championship defense. 146 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: Thirteen points is more than enough to spot a team 147 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: and still comfortably win. If you're Ohio State playing at 148 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: home with all of these weeks to diagnose what you 149 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: are what you're not on offense. And I'll say this 150 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: in defense of Ohio State losing what three offensive line starters, 151 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: well as they've recruited, as much time as they've had 152 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: to weave these guys into new positions and new reps, 153 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: everything like that is difficult. Right that they didn't feel 154 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: like they could protect Will Howard to long enough to 155 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: allow receivers to get open downfield, whatever, there are complicating 156 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: issues at play. When your offensive line is not good 157 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: enough to consistently block Michigan, that's fine, make an adjustment, 158 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: get creative in the screen game, go quick game. These 159 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: are not This is a Michigan secondary that is fine, 160 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: that has playmakers. This is not lockdown. It's not lockdown 161 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: without Will Johnson. Good players, but beat up. They've been 162 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,559 Speaker 1: had by other teams this year. There is a blueprint 163 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 1: for scoring points against Michigan if you have talented receivers 164 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: and players like Illinois was kind of able to do, 165 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: like Oregon was certainly able to do. And Michigan's defense 166 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: has gotten better. Everybody gets better, everybody evolves over the 167 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: course of the season. This was just a failure from 168 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: Ohio State and Michigan kept it simple. They just kept 169 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 1: hating it for better or worse. To Kleel Mullings had 170 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,079 Speaker 1: that big play at the end of the game, had 171 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: the interception early. Coleel Mullings didn't, but Michigan's defense did, 172 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: setting up good things for the Wolverines. This is if 173 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: you're gonna point to any one thing from Ohio State, 174 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: to me, it's a stubborn streak Hubris that no, no, 175 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 1: we'll figure this out. We're going to keep running and 176 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna break through and everything's gonna come together. And 177 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: it didn't. It just didn't. And they were unable to 178 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 1: finish drives, they were unable to generate bigger plays downfield 179 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: with any sort of consistency. With all world players out 180 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: wide and a big name quarterback transfer, Michigan is just 181 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 1: happy to put people in a bad mood annually. Now 182 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: in Columbus they are and look succeed. The season is 183 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 1: a success in a weird way. 184 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 2: Well it is. I mean they got boweligible and now 185 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 2: they pick up this win. They get the seven and five, 186 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 2: which I think, all things considered is pre damn good 187 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 2: given where they started from. Yeah, and we've spent so 188 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,599 Speaker 2: much time here talk talking about maybe the failures of 189 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 2: Ryan Day and Ohio State. Maybe we haven't put enough 190 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 2: respect on Sharon Moore in the mission. Disagreees for winning 191 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 2: this game. For winning this game, oh for winning this game. 192 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 2: Sure for going to Columbus for winning this game despite 193 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 2: being such a heavy dog. I mean, you're right, they 194 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,439 Speaker 2: kept it simple. They were able to execute something of 195 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 2: a game play. It was a rock fight. 196 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: They won this game. As we mentioned in our reaction 197 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: show with Davis Warren, who is certainly trying his best, 198 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: it seems throwing an all time awful interception at least 199 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 1: in this matchup, if not this season with I think 200 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: it was Hogan Something is that one of the backup 201 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: tight ends through the interception to Jack Sawyer, defensive lineman 202 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: for House State on the goal line with his own 203 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: tight end wide open that was a few feet behind him. 204 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 2: That was a really, really bad pick. Yeah, I joked 205 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 2: on Twitter they should Bryce Underwood should have waited a 206 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 2: week and then then upped his asking price to like 207 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 2: twenty million because that was just such a horrible interception. 208 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 2: Alas your finals. 209 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 1: Hanson Hogan, Hanson, better tight end name than that. Yeah, beautiful. 210 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,199 Speaker 1: Thirteen to ten is your final. Michigan pulls a huge 211 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: upset over number two Ohio State. There was an incident 212 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: on the field after the game. Not to make light 213 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 1: of it, but we saw a few of these today 214 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: in which the winning team tried to plant a flag 215 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 1: at the center of the field, and. 216 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 2: It never really goes over that well. In this case, 217 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 2: it got really ugly. There were fights, there were police 218 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 2: with pepper spray. 219 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: Yep. 220 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 2: Not great, not a great look for college football, to 221 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 2: say the least. 222 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: But everybody wanted to show off, having a little bit 223 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: of Baker Mayfield in them, who himself what he planted 224 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: that flag? He did in the field at Ohio State, Right, 225 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: he did? 226 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 2: He did. Thirteen to ten's your final. Now, by virtue 227 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 2: of the Ohio State loss and the Penn State win, 228 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 2: it's going to be your Oregon Ducks, my Penn State 229 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 2: Nitney Lyon. It's the solid verbowl of sorts. Yes, next 230 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 2: week in Indianapolis scaring off for the Big Ten title. 231 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 2: We will preview that game in due course as we 232 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 2: get a little bit later on this week. But you know, 233 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,599 Speaker 2: the notable thing on the Penn State side, it was 234 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,839 Speaker 2: forty four to seven, a really slow start for Penn State. 235 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 2: Once they got moving, it was pretty much over. It 236 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:26,199 Speaker 2: was pretty much over. The I guess notable takeaway from 237 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 2: this one is the way it ended, in which Bo 238 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 2: Prabula threw a late, late, late touchdown pass pretty much 239 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 2: as time expired, and Mike Losley took some exception to it. 240 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 2: So there was a frosty handshake, if you want to 241 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 2: call it that. At midfield after the game, Mike Loxley 242 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,199 Speaker 2: did kind of like the bro hug thing where he 243 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 2: brought James Franklin in close and like talked into his 244 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 2: ear and then James Franklin was yelling back at him 245 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:51,559 Speaker 2: a little bit. 246 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 1: So there was that that sign Franklin Maryland bad blood, 247 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: especially in the Maryland direction. James Franklin at Maryland has 248 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,439 Speaker 1: gone back number of years now. 249 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 2: It has, it has. And for his part, James Franklin afterwards, 250 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 2: they asked him about it in the presser and he's like, look, 251 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 2: I had my third string in I'm not gonna not 252 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 2: tell these guys to go play football. They deserve it, 253 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,719 Speaker 2: and I get it. I understand both sides of it, 254 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 2: and it's just one of those things. I mean, you 255 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,839 Speaker 2: find yourself now in this era of college football having 256 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,719 Speaker 2: to play for style points to some extent, and so 257 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 2: they did. They win forty four to seven. Oregon, for 258 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 2: their part, did get the w over Washington forty nine 259 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 2: to twenty one. Dan was that the final score? 260 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: That was final score? It was forty nine to fourteen. 261 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: It was garbage time, and Oregon had a bunch of 262 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: their own backups and Dante Moore actually looked really good. 263 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,439 Speaker 1: A backup running back did well. He Dante Moore led 264 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: Oregon on a touchdown drive at the end of the game. 265 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 1: But yeah, it was Oregon's defense completely overwhelming Washington upfront. 266 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: I think they finished with ten sacks on Demon Williams, 267 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: the freshman quarterback for Washington, who for his part, looks 268 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: very promising, fast athletic, a nice arm, made some nice throws. Washington. 269 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: This year's Washington not in the same league as where 270 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: Oregon is right now, at least not on the field 271 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 1: in Audstin Stadium, as Dan Lanning finally gets that monkey 272 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,599 Speaker 1: off of his back after losing his first three to 273 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: the Huskies in dramatic fashion each time, it seemed, and 274 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: this was Oregon running quite well, coming up with big 275 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: stops on defense and just harassing Washington upfront, and it 276 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: was any number of guys in the same way that 277 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: I guess you know, Penn State completely overwhelmed Maryland upfront 278 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: with their pass rush. 279 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 2: The other Big ten team that, because of circumstance, figures 280 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 2: to be part of this playoff discussion is the Indiana 281 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 2: Whoo Hoosiers. Speaking of incredible stories, this year, Indiana completes 282 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 2: an eleven and one season. Their only loss was to 283 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 2: Ohio State. They won the old Oaken Bucket by a 284 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 2: sixty six to nils score. In this snow in the 285 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 2: snow over Purdue, there was also a was there a 286 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 2: fake kick situation? 287 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: Sake put up thirty eight? Nothing? Which screw it? Yeah, 288 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: Rivalry week, stop it, Stop it Purdue if you don't 289 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: like it. 290 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 2: Indiana figures to get in. Obviously, Oregon and Penn State 291 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 2: are going to find their way into the playoff, and 292 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 2: I still think Ohio State will find their way in 293 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 2: as well. Though they may not be hosting a game. 294 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: Two top ten wins, Ohio State still has in their 295 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: wins over Indiana and Penn State. 296 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 2: So that was I guess chief among all the mayhem 297 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 2: in week fourteen, but we did happen. Yeah, we did 298 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 2: have some other things going around college football. As has 299 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 2: sort of been the theme in twenty twenty four, let's 300 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 2: go to the SEC please. We should have known that 301 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 2: things were going to be weird this weekend. On Friday night, 302 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 2: I had my cousin over. We were downstairs here, we 303 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 2: were watching the George George Tech game. So what time 304 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 2: should I? I'm over what games are good today? And 305 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 2: I looked at the scheduleized, well, clean, old fashioned hate 306 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 2: what's that? I said, Okay, Georgia Tech Georgia at least 307 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 2: has potential to be kind of weird. Definitely come on 308 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 2: over for that one. So he came over. He eventually 309 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 2: left before the overtime was finished, drove home twenty minutes 310 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 2: and I was like, hey, games still on, you can 311 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 2: catch the going still going Georgia Tech Georgia Final. Georgia 312 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 2: wins forty four to forty two in eight overtimes. Dan, Yes, 313 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 2: they went to the penalty kicks here. Eight overtimes. Georgia 314 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 2: Tech Haines King left it all out on the field 315 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 2: at one point in the second half. They definitely ran 316 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 2: out of juice. It was clear when they ran out 317 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 2: of juice when Haines King was on fumes. Georgia somehow 318 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 2: finding a way to come back and win this game 319 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 2: was miraculous. It was not a pretty game by any 320 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 2: stretch of the imagination. There were Georgia Tech receivers opened 321 00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 2: literally the entire football game. Yeah, the entire football This 322 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 2: is not a defensive clinic on either side of. 323 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: The ball, especially keithor downs third and long. Georgia Tech 324 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: receivers open. Yeah, mind blowing to me. Mind blowing to me. 325 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,640 Speaker 2: And just a little side to side motion. If fake 326 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 2: handoff from Haines King, boom, a guy opened down the scene. 327 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 2: It was the same thing the entire game. George has 328 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 2: gotta figure that out before they play Texas in the 329 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 2: SEC title game, before they play whoever in the college 330 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 2: football Playoff. I don't know if they will. It's pretty 331 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 2: late in the season by now. But this game was nuts. 332 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 2: I don't know how much of this you saw. I 333 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 2: stayed away for the whole thing. It set me back 334 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 2: today because we're obviously up late doing this thing, will 335 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 2: be up late editing and whatnot. It was one of 336 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 2: these deals where it's like you're in for a dime 337 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 2: you're in for a dollar. Once you get past one overtime, 338 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 2: it's like, all right, I'm in this till the end. 339 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 2: Now I can't turn this off. 340 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: No, I watched the whole game and it was It 341 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: was a fascinating watch. Georgia up front along this offensive 342 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 1: line is still a huge issue. It's still like uncharacteristic 343 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: for Georgia football to not just be dominant on the 344 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 1: offensive line, but to be dominated at times by Georgia Tech, 345 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: who hasn't had a pass rush this year, and. 346 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 2: They haven't had a loss rush in five years. 347 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 1: Dan, it's been a minute. It has been a minute, 348 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 1: And you're right about Georgia Tech with the ball. The 349 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,159 Speaker 1: eye Candy was constant and you know, as beat up 350 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: as Jamal Haynes. He was back and forth from the 351 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: sideline to the backfield. Haines King was finding pass catchers downfield. 352 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: He himself huge runs. Georgia couldn't get off the field 353 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 1: for long stretches of this game. They were doing a 354 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 1: lot of like shorter horizontal type passing stuff that wasn't there. 355 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: As soon as they started going downfield in the second half, 356 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 1: that's when things Obviously, they come back from a pretty 357 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 1: significant deficit to force overtime. The overtime periods were crazy. 358 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,640 Speaker 1: You could see that nobody had legs. Nobody had legs. 359 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,640 Speaker 2: Georgia was dropping passes. They talked to Kirby after the game, 360 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 2: he was like, we were out of two point ping 361 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 2: version plays anything like It's we both were. Both sides 362 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 2: were out of that two point conversion play. And you know, 363 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 2: they ended up winning it on a frasier run up 364 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 2: the middle, for sure. But the thing that I can't 365 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 2: kind of get my head around is we saw what 366 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 2: Georgia did to Texas earlier in the year and how 367 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 2: they overwhelmed the Texas offensive line to the extent where 368 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 2: they had to pull Quene Weres and put arch Manning 369 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 2: in in the first half anyway, in hopes of maybe 370 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 2: trying to add some more mobility to the to the conversation, 371 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,439 Speaker 2: so it wasn't like he was a fish in a 372 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 2: barrel back there. What happened to that Georgia. What happened 373 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 2: to that version of Georgia, Because in theory they should 374 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 2: have been able to do the same. It's a good 375 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:50,239 Speaker 2: Georgia Tech offensive line. Mind you you're not Texas. So 376 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 2: what happened that version of Georgia since that Texas game. 377 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: I mean, it's way later in the season. Legs are tired, 378 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: people are beat up. It's a different offense, right that 379 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 1: Buster Faukner and Haines King and the whatever Georgia the 380 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: best of Georgia Tech is. It's you know, it kept 381 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: Miami off of off balance. Who knows what Georgia Tech's 382 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: record is. If Haines King stays healthy this year. Sure 383 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: they're a good team. They're an inventive offense. They keep 384 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:26,239 Speaker 1: defenses sort of on roller skates. And I'm not going 385 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 1: to say Texas is more direct. They were just up 386 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: for that game, that specific Texas game earlier on in 387 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: the season in a way that is just more difficult. 388 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: For whatever reason, at the end of the season against 389 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: Georgia Tech at home, maybe they just felt that like 390 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 1: they could sleepwalk and beat Georgia Tech. I don't know. 391 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,719 Speaker 1: It doesn't seem like the Georgia way that Kirby Smart 392 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 1: has this team winning a bajillion game, So obviously he's 393 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,159 Speaker 1: doing something right to keep this team motivated. But I 394 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: don't know it just for whatever reason, whether it's a 395 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: transfer thing, whether it's specific guys not buying in or 396 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,120 Speaker 1: not have the fire lid under them because Will must 397 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 1: Champ isn't a part of this defensive staff. Whatever the reason, 398 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 1: it just it comes and goes right that sometimes you'll 399 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: see that, But then you have the old miss game 400 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: and you have the Kentucky game, and sometimes it's the 401 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 1: offense figuring it out. Sometimes it's the defense figuring it out. 402 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 1: And sometimes you give up thirty points to Mississippi State 403 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: or forty points to Georgia Tech. And I don't know. 404 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 1: I think we're holding Kirby Smart to like such a 405 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: crazy standard because he has shoulder to shoulder with Nick 406 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,719 Speaker 1: Saban in terms of modern greatness at coach that like 407 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 1: your down year is still getting into the playoffs as 408 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: a top ten team. It's pretty good. 409 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 2: It is pretty good, and it maybe has taken me 410 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,639 Speaker 2: taken us to this point in the season fourteen weeks 411 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 2: in to again be reminded of the fact that this 412 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 2: is not the same Georgia we have seen the last 413 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 2: two years. 414 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: It just isn't. 415 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 2: That's okay, it's okay, but it's a bit of a 416 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 2: head trip. Yeah, if you follow it the way we do, 417 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,439 Speaker 2: it's a bit of a head trip. So Georgia finds 418 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 2: a way to win forty four forty two eight overtimes, 419 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 2: a miraculous way to come back and win. 420 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: I really was hoping that that like weird alt strategy 421 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: or alt formation that Georgia Tech went with, like all 422 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: the linemens split left trying to go to the tight 423 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: end in the corner or the back of the end zone. 424 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: I really hope that that was the way. Like Kirby Smart, 425 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 1: wouldn't sleep until June if that had worked. But it 426 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 1: did not. 427 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 2: It did not work. 428 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: Well, it was a penalty, but it didn't work. 429 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, it did not work. Now Georgia was going to 430 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 2: be in the SEC title game one way or another. 431 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 2: This is not a conference game against Georgia Tech is 432 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,640 Speaker 2: a rivalry game. They are now going to score off 433 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 2: against Texas. This was the play in game that everybody 434 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 2: had circled in advance of Rivalry Week. It was the 435 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 2: newest chapter of the Texas Texas A and M rivalry. 436 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 2: They hadn't played since twenty eleven something like that. It's 437 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 2: been a minute. There's some bad blood over losing that rivalry. 438 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 2: For whatever reason, Texas ends up winning by a seventeen 439 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,640 Speaker 2: to seven score two hundred and forty three rushing guards 440 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 2: for the Texas Longhorns. Dan that was sort of its 441 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 2: own story. I think the primary story here and one 442 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 2: that will continue to be a theme now for as 443 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 2: long as Texas remains active in the postseason is defense. 444 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 2: What Texas did on defense was really something special against 445 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 2: Texas A and M. This is not a perfect Texas 446 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 2: A and M offense by any stretch, but the Longhorns 447 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 2: made Texas A and M look pedestrian whenever they had 448 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 2: the football, and lord knows they had opportunities. They had 449 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 2: opportunities to get back in this game. I'm thinking of 450 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 2: a drive later in the game after I think a 451 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 2: turnover where or a block kick where they had an 452 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 2: opportunity down inside the red zone inside gold ghost scenario, 453 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 2: decided to go forward on fourth down, just can't get 454 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 2: any push against his Texas front. Now, talk about play calling, 455 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,719 Speaker 2: that's a separate conversation as well, But the fact that 456 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 2: the Texas defense throughout the course of this game kept 457 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 2: rising to the occasion only gave seven points on the road. 458 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 2: Mind you, in Kyle Field, when everybody there was fired 459 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 2: up and jazzed up for this next version of the rivalry. 460 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 2: It just speaks volumes about where Texas is at. I 461 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 2: don't know how it goes over in SEC circles that 462 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 2: this is a newcomer to the SEC, and now it 463 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 2: seems as if they might be the best team in 464 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:28,360 Speaker 2: the conference. Whatever. Texas obviously is a fully formed product 465 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 2: at this point. 466 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: Well that they've officially they've started beating ranked teams on 467 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: November thirtieth. 468 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, it started beating right these But it's clear that 469 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 2: they are a much more finished product than some of 470 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 2: their peers. Let's say that are in this playoff conversation, 471 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 2: which we can have in a second in the SEC. 472 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 2: So good autum. Seventeen to seven is their final. 473 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it was their own mistakes on offense that 474 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: led to points and at least the slowdown of their 475 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 1: own rhythm on offense with it was a fumble and 476 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: a pick six in quick succession, right, right, that's right. 477 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 1: I like Marcel Reid. I'm entertained by Marcel Reid. I 478 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 1: like elements of this Texas A and M offense. I 479 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: don't believe as of now they have the players to 480 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:15,439 Speaker 1: play with the best of SEC defenses, which is right now, 481 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: what text texts I believe coming into this game number 482 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 1: one defense in terms of points per drive allowed if 483 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: you get rid of garbage time in America, and so 484 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: you need to bring all conference caliber receivers, running backs, 485 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,199 Speaker 1: left guards. What have you to a game like this, 486 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: to a big emotional game if you're going to score 487 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: twenty points, which is what was needed to beat tonight's 488 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: Texas and Texas A and M obviously has been beat 489 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 1: up at running back. I saw Ruben Owens came back. 490 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: He's been out all year slide. In terms of a 491 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: finished product, it's insane to think that in year one, 492 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: Mike Elko will have a team ready to score twenty 493 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,400 Speaker 1: points against this kind of defense, even though it's at home, 494 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: even though there's the emotion there. The best of them 495 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: maybe if this game has seen related ten times, one 496 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 1: hundred times, whatever, they're the big players are breaking their 497 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: way sometimes. But Texas is just much closer to a 498 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: finished product because of the speed and violence of this defense, 499 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 1: and especially in that first half, you were seeing Quinn 500 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 1: Youewers make some beautiful throws. You know, wasn't all four quarters? 501 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 1: Textas A and M did a nice job adjusting and 502 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 1: forcing punts whatever. In the second half, as they've done 503 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 1: all year long. But I did come away and pressed 504 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 1: with the sort of I forget the term we used 505 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: last year the Quinn viewers just sort of the flick 506 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 1: of the wrist and it's the eight yards downfield. He 507 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: had a couple of those, which was cool to see 508 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: the reverse touchdown call in the back of the end zone. 509 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 1: So Texas more and more is looking like a team 510 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: through its defense first that can beat anybody in the 511 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: country if they're you know, not making a ton of 512 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: mistakes on offense and they get something downfield. At times, 513 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,360 Speaker 1: this is a near a very difficult team to get 514 00:26:59,359 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: the best. 515 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 2: Of righting and especially if they're running, especially if they're 516 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:09,360 Speaker 2: running the way that they ran tonight. Contraveon Weisner six 517 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 2: on the ground, he was a revelation. They finished with 518 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 2: two forty on the ground and a touchdown. That one 519 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 2: touchdown was a nice run earlier in the game from 520 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 2: arch Manning, who came in in a gold to got scenario. 521 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 2: Really nice run around the side, jumped dove, walked the 522 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 2: tight wire along the sideline, dove hit the pylon and 523 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 2: got the touchdown early on. But if they're running, which 524 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 2: has kind of been an ongoing conversation with Texas given 525 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 2: some of their injuries and having that aspect of their 526 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 2: offense work as well, is to your point, it makes 527 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 2: them much more difficult to defend. This puts Texas now 528 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:52,199 Speaker 2: in the SEC title game. Obviously they're going to be 529 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 2: in the playoff in some capacity. It's just a matter 530 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,959 Speaker 2: of seating. I think both Georgia and Texas are in 531 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 2: more Hugga, more fun. Yeah the question, and I think 532 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,639 Speaker 2: the real intrigue around the playoff at this point then is, well, okay, 533 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 2: we figure those two teams are probably gonna get in 534 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 2: in summerguard Joe tests Jesse Palmer a little too aggressive 535 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 2: with Georgia's definitely in now. I don't know if we 536 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 2: can say that for sure. I think it depends on 537 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 2: what the Texas Georgia game looks like. But I'm willing 538 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 2: to concede that george is probably gonna find their way 539 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 2: into this thing. 540 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 1: At some point, there needs to be a producer in 541 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: somebody's ear that says like, Okay, I think everybody has 542 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: sort of gotten the note that, yeah, Georgia is gonna 543 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: be in the SEC Championship game, because this is not 544 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: a conference game. But not a conference attack. 545 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 2: Listen, listen, listen. There was a lot Joe Test is 546 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 2: doing WWE. Nobody's in his ear, He's ripping that out. 547 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 2: He is ad lib. I love Joe Tests. He does 548 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 2: a good job. That was the only part of the broadcast. 549 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 2: It was like, Okay, let's pump the brakes in this 550 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 2: a little bit. Here's where I'm going with this though. 551 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 2: The intrigue with regard to the playoff Tennessee is Alabama, 552 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 2: is Ole, Miss, and now South Carolina. You've got four 553 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 2: teams now that in their own right believe they have 554 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 2: a case. Now. I think Tennessee is getting into the playoff. 555 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 2: There's no reason to drop Tennessee. I think if you're 556 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 2: a Tennessee fan, you got to feel pretty good about things. 557 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 2: Bama was ranked thirteenth in the latest College Football Playoff rankings. 558 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 2: They won over Auburn. It was mostly a sloppy game Auburn. 559 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 2: Auburn had chances, had more than enough chances in this one. 560 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 2: It was frustrating. I think if you were an Auburn 561 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 2: fan to watch this one and know you had chances, 562 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 2: but just didn't feel like you could do a whole 563 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 2: lot with it. Twenty eight to fourteen, Alabama emerges victorious 564 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 2: in the Iron Bowl. Ole Miss won on Friday. They 565 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 2: played the egg Ball on Friday instead of Thursday this year, 566 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 2: which took a little bit of getting used to. Twenty 567 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 2: six to fourteen mentioned that a little bit earlier in 568 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 2: the broadcast. 569 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: Nice long run from Ulysses Bentley, who had been sort 570 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: of missing. 571 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 2: The lightly used Ulysses Bentley. 572 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 1: The lightly used, and yeah, Ole Miss was sort of 573 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 1: able to overwhelm. I mean, that's my word of the day, 574 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: word of the season. Whatever, Mississippi State upfront. I like 575 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 1: Michael van Buren. If there was a nice ball. He's 576 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: kind of a gunslinger, kind of gutty. He's gonna get 577 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: sacked a bunch, but it's a fun offense for him 578 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: to hopefully develop in. 579 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 2: We've talked about the Van Buren Boys here, you know 580 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 2: the Van Buren Boys. The other team now is South Carolina. 581 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 2: South Carolina knocked off Clemson. Yeah, seventeen to fourteen. This 582 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 2: was truly Leonoris the Creator. We've been joking about Lenora 583 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 2: Sellers all year, calling him Lenoris the Creator. This was 584 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 2: Lenoris the Creator. I don't know if you saw the 585 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 2: run that they won on the twenty yarder. 586 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 1: But that was like one of five runs from lenora 587 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 1: Sellers in this game, like emerging from an exploding death 588 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 1: star alive, zipping through space, turning what looked to be 589 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 1: a seven yard sack for a loss into a twenty 590 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: eight yard game. Like it's just that's why we call 591 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 1: him Lenora's the Creator. He's just out of nothing, out 592 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 1: of thin air, makes happiness for the South Carolina offense. 593 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it was a really really solid effort 594 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 2: from Lenora's sellers, to say the least. They beat Clemson 595 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 2: in the Paul Meto Bowl by a seventeen to fourteen score. Yeah, 596 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 2: it was good that Clemson was not playing a conference game. 597 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 2: We will get to that in just a little bit. 598 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 2: Clemson had its fate sealed by another game, not through 599 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 2: any kind of effort of their own. In Week fourteen. 600 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 2: Here of those teams, if you are stacking them in 601 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 2: some order, Dan, Okay, if we assume Georgia and Texas 602 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 2: are in not to make this all about the playoff, Yeah, 603 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 2: I think Tennessee is next up, just because they've been 604 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 2: the highest ranked and there's no reason to drop him. 605 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:59,720 Speaker 2: They beat Vandy thirty six to twenty three, Bama, South Carolina, 606 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 2: Old Miss. All three believe they have a case to 607 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 2: be in this playoff. All three are not going to 608 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 2: make it in. There's no chance. There's a chance that 609 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 2: it's only Georgia, Texas and Tennessee who make it in. 610 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: Right. 611 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 2: If you are ranking though, Bama, Ole Miss, South Carolina 612 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 2: in which order are you stacking those teams? And who 613 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 2: do you believe should get in? 614 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 1: Okay, maybe I'm wrong on this. I've I've been paying 615 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 1: attention to seven thousand games Ole Miss and Obama have 616 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 1: not played this year. Correct, Correct? And South Carolina got 617 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 1: destroyed by ole Miss at home. 618 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 2: Correct. 619 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 1: South Carolina was quite close and had an opportunity against Alabama. 620 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 2: Correct to win on the road twenty seven to twenty five. 621 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 2: Is that final is a very close game? 622 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 1: Ole Miss and Alabama both have Like I think ole 623 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 1: miss Is lost to Kentucky is more embarrassing than Alabama's 624 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 1: lost to Vandy. 625 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 2: But dude, especially if you saw that Louisville game today, 626 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 2: Oh my god, Yes, that was train wreck. 627 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 1: I know, but this is It's a different part of 628 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: the season. Teams don't have the depth this part of 629 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 1: the year. I'm just I don't know. I'm trying to 630 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 1: like extend grace as long as I possibly can to 631 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 1: some of these teams in situations that the Kentucky team 632 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 1: that beat ole Miss is not excuse me, yeah, yeah, 633 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 1: the Kentucky team that beat ole Miss is in a 634 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 1: very different headspace emotionally. Losing to Louisville today giving up 635 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 1: was nine hundred and forty four yards on the. 636 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 2: Count, felt like that it was so bad. It was 637 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 2: such a bad game, that was tough. 638 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 1: I guess right now I would have o Miss slightly 639 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 1: ahead of the other two teams. 640 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 2: I don't know, I'd be interested to hear what the 641 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 2: verbolerhood has to. 642 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 1: Say, because if I'm also gonna say, like, there's no 643 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: good answer, right, If I'm going to say that it's 644 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 1: unfair to look at that loss as being the same 645 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 1: Kentucky team, then you can't say that that South Carolina 646 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 1: team that lost to ole Miss is exactly the same 647 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 1: team today than it was then. So it's just sort 648 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 1: of like your preference in your opinion, I'm most entertained 649 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 1: right now by South Carolina. I recognize that the ole 650 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 1: Miss defense probably presents more of a challenge than South 651 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: Carol Well. South Carolina's defense is quite strong, but more 652 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,719 Speaker 1: of a challenge in Alabama's defense at times. But Alabama 653 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,720 Speaker 1: and Jalen Milroe is more of a challenge than Jackson 654 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 1: Dart at times. With Jackson Dart the way he finished 655 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 1: a game just last week, and it's a I don't know. 656 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:33,879 Speaker 1: That's my answer. That's my official answer. I'm gonna send 657 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 1: it to you on official Dan Rubinstein stationary. I don't know, Sincerely, 658 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,840 Speaker 1: Dan Rubinstein from the desk of Dan Rubinstein's. 659 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:45,239 Speaker 2: It's a thought experiment that I suppose many folks will 660 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 2: be going through over the next week or so. 661 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 1: Can we just agree to put Syracuse above all of them? 662 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,320 Speaker 1: Then make it a lot easier. 663 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 2: Nine and three Syracuse baby chance for ten in a bowl. 664 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 2: We'll see what happens. We'll go there next. Okay, okay, 665 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,840 Speaker 2: but just to put a bow on this right in 666 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,879 Speaker 2: solverbotgmail dot com or leave us a comment wherever you can. 667 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,239 Speaker 2: We'll be curious to get everybody's thoughts on how you 668 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 2: would stack those SEC teams up. I don't think they're 669 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:17,880 Speaker 2: getting certainly more than four teams. I mean, for a 670 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 2: while there it was like, Wow, they might get five 671 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 2: teams in this conference is so loaded. This is a 672 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,759 Speaker 2: flawed conference. It's a fun conference. There are a lot 673 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 2: of good teams, there's a ton of talent. That's always 674 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 2: the case with the SEC. But let's just cut that 675 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 2: act right now. They might get four. I think in 676 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 2: all probability they get three. My hunches, it's Tennessee and 677 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,839 Speaker 2: Bama finding a way in. But who knows. We got 678 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 2: to see the way that this thing shakes out and 679 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 2: what goes down next week. 680 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,279 Speaker 1: I don't even like, is it weird to say does 681 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 1: the SEC? And this is probably a question and a 682 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 1: conversation for the Tuesday show, Like are there any cute 683 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,759 Speaker 1: stories at this point in the SEC? Like a, is 684 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 1: it Florida? Probably who's like the speisty, scrappy Like they're 685 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,239 Speaker 1: not perfect, they're pretty flawed, but like that's kind of 686 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: cool how things have shaped up these past few weeks. 687 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 1: I think that's the that might be the only candidate 688 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 1: right now. I guess Miszoo is kind of it's not 689 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 1: cute because they were already good last year, but they 690 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 1: finished pretty strong for Miszoo even with the loss of 691 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 1: South Carolina. But I guess that's where we are as 692 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 1: a society now that Florida is the cute story in 693 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:19,240 Speaker 1: the SEC. 694 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's Florida, it's Miszoo. It's just generally Mike Elko 695 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,399 Speaker 2: and probably Michael van Buren. 696 00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 1: Sure, but I mean just it ended so poorly for 697 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 1: Mike Elko with no touchdowns on offense. They're just like, well, okay. 698 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:38,239 Speaker 2: You mentioned the Syracuse Orange Dan forty two to thirty eight. 699 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 2: They knocked Miami right out of the ACC title game. 700 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,719 Speaker 2: They handed that spot to Clemson. Just talked about that, 701 00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 2: handed it to Clemson, and suddenly now it puts Miami's 702 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:57,760 Speaker 2: playoff case in a bit of hot water. Remember, SMU 703 00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,879 Speaker 2: had already clinched. SMU was already going to the title game. 704 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 2: They won thirty eight to six in resounding fashion over 705 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:08,839 Speaker 2: Cal this week. So left no doubt, Yes, left no doubt. 706 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:10,919 Speaker 1: They no Fernando Mendoza, though I believe right now. 707 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 2: Fernando Mendoza, but they left no doubt. They're a top 708 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:18,320 Speaker 2: ten team in this iteration of college football Week fourteen. 709 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 2: This Miami game though, you know this, we have been 710 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 2: talking about Miami on the road, Miami on the road 711 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,359 Speaker 2: the last couple of weeks this season. What is that 712 00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,720 Speaker 2: going to have in store for the Keys? Mainly because 713 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,880 Speaker 2: their defense has left a lot to be desired, and 714 00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,960 Speaker 2: they have constantly put cam Ward in this position where 715 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:42,880 Speaker 2: he's got to bail out the defense. And that works 716 00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:48,040 Speaker 2: to some extent because he's a really good player, borderline 717 00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 2: Heisman contender, probably a first round NFL draft pick. You 718 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,320 Speaker 2: can do that with a player of that magnitude. However, 719 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 2: you can't always do it. We saw a couple of 720 00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,600 Speaker 2: weeks ago that was when a loss happened. Now this 721 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,680 Speaker 2: week to close out the year, a lot to play for. 722 00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,799 Speaker 2: You win, you're into the ACC title game. You can 723 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,439 Speaker 2: aspire for more. Win that game, get a first round 724 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,839 Speaker 2: by perhaps in the playoff. Miami was highly ranked enough 725 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:17,440 Speaker 2: that was certainly within the realm of possibilities forty two 726 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,839 Speaker 2: to thirty eight. The defense let him down again. Cam 727 00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,240 Speaker 2: Ward could not do it all on his own. Defense 728 00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,839 Speaker 2: wasn't short supply on both sides of this. It's not 729 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:30,279 Speaker 2: like Syracuse was out there, you know, holding Miami to 730 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,839 Speaker 2: three hundred and two yards or something crazy. They had 731 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:36,759 Speaker 2: some moments, for sure, They had some stops, stops that 732 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:41,360 Speaker 2: made this possible. But this is a cautionary tale of 733 00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 2: A what happens when you put it all on one player? 734 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,600 Speaker 2: And B what happens when you go to the JBA 735 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:52,719 Speaker 2: Wireless Dome and play against the f animal Dan when 736 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 2: you play track the title, when the shower is on 737 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,880 Speaker 2: the line with the fre animal, you don't want to 738 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,759 Speaker 2: f with the for animal. Forty third is your final. 739 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,840 Speaker 2: Miami goes down for the second time this year. Yeah, 740 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:05,440 Speaker 2: I mean it is. 741 00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,399 Speaker 1: There's there's a lot of bummer about this, obviously from 742 00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 1: a Miami perspective, not making the the ACC Championship game 743 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,080 Speaker 1: because offense, I mean, it wasn't even just cam Ward, right, 744 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,880 Speaker 1: he has to throw to people's Xavier Rostrepo, record setting receiver, 745 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,560 Speaker 1: made a ton of plays once again, had a key 746 00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,880 Speaker 1: miscue where he I think fumbled it and it gets returned, 747 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:30,160 Speaker 1: returned for a touchdown. Right, So some miscues from the 748 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,839 Speaker 1: Miami offense. They kick a field goal to go down 749 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 1: four on fourth down late in this game. 750 00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,759 Speaker 2: It was a curious decision from Mario. 751 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:44,719 Speaker 1: Going and in the end, you know it was it 752 00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:46,279 Speaker 1: was as much as we want to pay attention to 753 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,279 Speaker 1: comic Cord, it was LeQuinn Allen on the ground icing 754 00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,839 Speaker 1: this one. Hurtling, literally jumping over Miami players, and the 755 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,799 Speaker 1: cutaways Tomorrio on the sideline were just like very like 756 00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,960 Speaker 1: arrested development job, like Oh, I'm really in it now, 757 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 1: Oh oh old boy, you've really done it this time, 758 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:08,440 Speaker 1: just like the seething silence of Mario christ Baul on 759 00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:12,920 Speaker 1: the sideline where cam Ward in this offense did plenty 760 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,840 Speaker 1: once again to win this game. Defense just needed to 761 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 1: be decent. 762 00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:18,080 Speaker 2: There is a. 763 00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,280 Speaker 1: Field one and a half, two and a half more times. 764 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,080 Speaker 2: There is one stat here that jumped off the page 765 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,319 Speaker 2: to me, and I watched the whole game, and you know, 766 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:27,680 Speaker 2: in the fall of a game, you're not keeping track 767 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,200 Speaker 2: of these stats. You have no reason to. But afterwards 768 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:34,279 Speaker 2: I looked it up. They allowed seven of ten on 769 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:38,279 Speaker 2: third downs for Syracuse. Yeah, Syracuse was seventy percent on 770 00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:42,080 Speaker 2: third downs. Their defense couldn't get off the field. This 771 00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,759 Speaker 2: was not a defensive clinic one way or another. No, 772 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,840 Speaker 2: but Miami should be better than this. With everything that 773 00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:51,080 Speaker 2: Miami brought back with how I think Miami has done 774 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,200 Speaker 2: really well in the recruiting game and whatnot, I mean, 775 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 2: this is a defense that should be better than this. 776 00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:00,839 Speaker 2: Even though Syracuse plays a solid brand of offense. Let's 777 00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,920 Speaker 2: be real, they're nine and three ten. They got to 778 00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:05,719 Speaker 2: be better than this. They got to be better than this. 779 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:10,680 Speaker 2: And I the decision that they made inside of four minutes, 780 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:15,279 Speaker 2: it's fourth and ten, fourth and goal from the ten 781 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,319 Speaker 2: I guess to be specific, inside of four minutes, they're 782 00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 2: down seven, they kick the field goal. If you believe 783 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 2: in your quarterback, if you are willing to put everything 784 00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,320 Speaker 2: on your quarterback the way they have for a chunk 785 00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,440 Speaker 2: of the back half of this season, and in that 786 00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:35,880 Speaker 2: moment against a team that isn't known for its defense. 787 00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:40,879 Speaker 1: Tired legs on the Syracuse defense, Yeah. 788 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 2: There was every reason that Mario should just given the 789 00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:43,640 Speaker 2: ball back to Camboardena go out there and make a play, 790 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,719 Speaker 2: And in that moment, he buckled. He didn't do it. 791 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,360 Speaker 2: He decided he's going to turn it over to his defense, 792 00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,720 Speaker 2: a defense that gave him no real reason to believe 793 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,040 Speaker 2: that it could get a key stop, and they didn't, 794 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:56,600 Speaker 2: and they ended up losing forty two to thirty eight. 795 00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:00,560 Speaker 1: So I mean, but the reminder is every decision that 796 00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,400 Speaker 1: works out is a good decision. Well, sure, every decision 797 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,719 Speaker 1: that doesn't work out is a bad decision. And so 798 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,279 Speaker 1: if if they had gotten stops right, and if I 799 00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:12,640 Speaker 1: had wheels, I'd be a bicycle. But that they're basically 800 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:16,279 Speaker 1: the calculus there is. Okay, if we're seeing, you know, 801 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,760 Speaker 1: getting a stopper two as a fifty to fifty gambit 802 00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,839 Speaker 1: and cam Ward scoring, you know, leading this team into 803 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,040 Speaker 1: the end zone as a fifty to fifty gambit, you 804 00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,920 Speaker 1: know we're going to bank on Syracuse's offense having more 805 00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:32,960 Speaker 1: opportunities to make a mistake than we are. One play 806 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,600 Speaker 1: for cam Ward to get this. Sure, sure, but ultimately, 807 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:38,480 Speaker 1: like getting three points there doesn't do much for you 808 00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:39,160 Speaker 1: either way. 809 00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,800 Speaker 2: It doesn't. And it really surprised me that they would 810 00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,400 Speaker 2: do that. Again, this was an even game. This is 811 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,880 Speaker 2: back and forth. Yeah, it was not a defensive clinic 812 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:52,240 Speaker 2: by any stretch of the imagination. Mario kicks the field 813 00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:56,320 Speaker 2: goal instead of going for it. That's not the reason 814 00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,640 Speaker 2: they lost, but it is one of those key decisions 815 00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:01,000 Speaker 2: that you can point to and say, Wow, that had 816 00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,200 Speaker 2: gone a little differently. Maybe Miami be playing for the 817 00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,680 Speaker 2: AEC title game against SMUs such it's going to be 818 00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:11,879 Speaker 2: SMU against Clemson. Clemson. We mentioned Clemson earlier also took 819 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:15,360 Speaker 2: a loss this week against South Carolina. It'd be something 820 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,360 Speaker 2: if Clemson were to come back now and win the 821 00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:22,560 Speaker 2: ACC title against SMU. How might that affect playoff conversations? Well, 822 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,960 Speaker 2: they're not getting a buy Yeah, probably not getting a 823 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,839 Speaker 2: BUYE for sure. But there's a lot here that I 824 00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:34,240 Speaker 2: think still possesses true chaos potential going into Week fifteen, 825 00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:38,440 Speaker 2: Championship week, depending on how some of these things shake out. 826 00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:40,680 Speaker 2: We could talk about some of the other ACC action 827 00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,200 Speaker 2: here as we get a little bit deeper into this 828 00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,399 Speaker 2: episode a little bit later on, but I did want 829 00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:47,960 Speaker 2: to circle back now to the Big Twelve. 830 00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:48,760 Speaker 1: Please. 831 00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:52,160 Speaker 2: The reason we haven't talked sooner about the Big Twelve 832 00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,160 Speaker 2: is because there is one more Big Twelve game that 833 00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:58,160 Speaker 2: is going on that will determine who makes the conference championship. 834 00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:05,040 Speaker 2: Arizona State punched its ticket. Arizona State destroyed, absolutely destroyed. 835 00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:08,040 Speaker 2: The Arizona Wildcats won the Territorial Cup by a forty 836 00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:11,719 Speaker 2: nine to seven final score. They clinched their Big Twelve 837 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,040 Speaker 2: title appearance not just by winning. They needed to do 838 00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:19,160 Speaker 2: that first, but they also needed TCU to beat Cincinnati. Okay, 839 00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:20,960 Speaker 2: there was this whole sequence of things. We made a 840 00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,880 Speaker 2: video of it that ASU could win and still not 841 00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:26,920 Speaker 2: technically be into the Big Twelve title game, but by 842 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,880 Speaker 2: virtue of TCU knocking off Cincinnati, that went out the window. 843 00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:34,040 Speaker 2: Arizona State is in at present and this game is 844 00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:37,120 Speaker 2: late in the third quarter. BYU is beating Houston by 845 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,239 Speaker 2: a twenty one to ten margin. They are driving for 846 00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,720 Speaker 2: another score to I think put this game on ice. 847 00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:47,920 Speaker 2: If in fact BYU ends up winning, it's going to 848 00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:52,040 Speaker 2: be Arizona State against Iowa State for the Big twelve 849 00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:55,800 Speaker 2: title game a week from today. They play that game early, 850 00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,560 Speaker 2: I believe, on Saturday. That's sort of the nooner yep. 851 00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:02,000 Speaker 2: Iowa State one game by a twenty nine to twenty 852 00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,880 Speaker 2: one margin over Kansas State and the Farmageddon game. It 853 00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:05,640 Speaker 2: was a pretty good game. 854 00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,320 Speaker 1: Do you see the Avery Johnson safety, the grounding and 855 00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:10,640 Speaker 1: the end zone where he ran back like thirty yards? 856 00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:13,560 Speaker 2: I did. That was a techno Super Bowl moment right there. 857 00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:16,879 Speaker 1: It was. I watched it after the fact. I wasn't 858 00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:20,000 Speaker 1: watching it live. I saw somebody link a clip and 859 00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:22,440 Speaker 1: I didn't. I just saw that there was a clip 860 00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:24,520 Speaker 1: existing of Avery Johnson. I didn't know if it ended 861 00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:26,440 Speaker 1: with him launching an eighty yard pass in the air 862 00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,680 Speaker 1: for a touchdown. I didn't know where it was going. 863 00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:32,480 Speaker 1: And as I see him continually running backwards then ending 864 00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:35,120 Speaker 1: up in the end zone, I thought to myself, Oh, 865 00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:38,080 Speaker 1: this isn't going to end well out of here. Oh no, 866 00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,560 Speaker 1: not like this, Avery, Oh no, no, no, no, no, not. 867 00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:42,799 Speaker 2: Like There are moments like that every week where you 868 00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:46,040 Speaker 2: kind of see it happen against slow motions. Not like this, 869 00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,040 Speaker 2: Not like this. Avery Johnson, for his part, had a 870 00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:49,759 Speaker 2: pretty good game. 871 00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:51,279 Speaker 1: He had a good game, he connected with I think 872 00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:53,120 Speaker 1: it was Jas Brown had a nice game. It's sort 873 00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:55,480 Speaker 1: of been quiet this season for stretches, but. 874 00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:58,879 Speaker 2: Man, he had a pretty good game. What I said 875 00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,360 Speaker 2: in the lead up to this game, and I was 876 00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:04,120 Speaker 2: wrong on the team, but I said, whoever runs the 877 00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,360 Speaker 2: best is going to win this game. Because it's at night. 878 00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:06,760 Speaker 1: It's cold. 879 00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,800 Speaker 2: It's whoever runs the best, whoever can kind of minimize 880 00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:11,440 Speaker 2: their risk by keeping it on the ground and doing 881 00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:13,600 Speaker 2: a better job there, that's the team that's going to 882 00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:15,359 Speaker 2: end up winning this game. So it felt pretty even 883 00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,160 Speaker 2: to me, and I think the point spread sort of 884 00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:20,600 Speaker 2: indicated as much. That team was Iowa State, and Iowa 885 00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,160 Speaker 2: State team that frankly has had some trouble running the 886 00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,719 Speaker 2: ball consistently. This year, they were able to get it 887 00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:27,520 Speaker 2: going on the ground here as a team, had a 888 00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:30,239 Speaker 2: couple guys pitch in and contribute. They end up winning 889 00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:31,920 Speaker 2: by a twenty nine to twenty one score. So it 890 00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:34,279 Speaker 2: looks right now as if they're going to find their 891 00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:38,040 Speaker 2: way into this Big Twelve title game. If in fact, 892 00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:41,680 Speaker 2: Houston should come back and miraculously end up knocking off BYU, 893 00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:45,000 Speaker 2: in that case, it would be Colorado getting into the 894 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,920 Speaker 2: Big Twelve title Game. Colorado won fifty two to ZIP 895 00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:53,200 Speaker 2: in its game on Friday, just over Oklahoma State, absolutely 896 00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:54,520 Speaker 2: destroyed Oklahoma State. 897 00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:56,840 Speaker 1: I feel like you're angling for a job in the 898 00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:00,000 Speaker 1: Big Twelve office, as like the chief tiebreaker officer. You've 899 00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:02,880 Speaker 1: knee deep in this tie you got whiteboards spread across 900 00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,719 Speaker 1: your house. I love the enthusiasm and energy about this. 901 00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:07,799 Speaker 2: I have a really big spreadsheet for the Big Twelve 902 00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,560 Speaker 2: tie breakers. Yeah, I have a really big spreadsheet that 903 00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:14,640 Speaker 2: there was that one instance that could leave ASU out 904 00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:17,000 Speaker 2: that I somehow missed, but everything else I was pretty 905 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,480 Speaker 2: spot on with. And so I've been tracking this really closely. 906 00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:23,640 Speaker 2: One of the conversations that we had on a previous 907 00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:27,440 Speaker 2: episode was what is the matchup that you think is 908 00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:29,040 Speaker 2: going to be the most exciting or would be at 909 00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:32,239 Speaker 2: least the most entertaining. I think we agreed at that 910 00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:34,759 Speaker 2: moment in time, maybe three weeks ago, that Colorado Iowa 911 00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:37,239 Speaker 2: State would be a fun game. I think Asuiowa State 912 00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:39,000 Speaker 2: is going to be a fun game. If that's what 913 00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:40,560 Speaker 2: it ends up being, I think that could end up 914 00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:42,680 Speaker 2: being a really cool matchup. You've got a ton of 915 00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,960 Speaker 2: energy on the ASU side. They are clearly riding a 916 00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:49,200 Speaker 2: wave of momentum right now, and Kenny Dillingham is nothing 917 00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:53,040 Speaker 2: of not pure energy in Iowa State. Iowa State is 918 00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:55,520 Speaker 2: a team. Franklin, I have not been able to put 919 00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:57,799 Speaker 2: my finger on Iowa State all year. We know the 920 00:47:57,800 --> 00:47:59,840 Speaker 2: potential is there, we know the players are there, but 921 00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:03,560 Speaker 2: it's just consistency trying to get the same team the 922 00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,160 Speaker 2: same output week in and week out. That's where I 923 00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:09,799 Speaker 2: think they sort of leave you wanting more. With a 924 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,040 Speaker 2: spot in the playoffs on the line, that's going to 925 00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:14,319 Speaker 2: be a fun game. So I'm looking forward to that. 926 00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,239 Speaker 2: It looks by the way, with the matchup's gonna end. 927 00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:17,680 Speaker 1: Up being with regards to what could have been in 928 00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:19,520 Speaker 1: the Big Twelve. There's another team where I think finished 929 00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:22,239 Speaker 1: the season winning six in a row. Yeah, and it's 930 00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:25,960 Speaker 1: not in this conversation, but was quite close. My voice 931 00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:30,239 Speaker 1: cracks because I just I can't believe so Baylor the 932 00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:32,000 Speaker 1: ending of the Colorado game as wild. I think the 933 00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,439 Speaker 1: ending of the BYU game is wild. With what they've 934 00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:37,760 Speaker 1: done on offense recently. Nobody wants a piece of Baylor, 935 00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:40,000 Speaker 1: Nobody wants a piece of Colorado. Nobody wants a piece 936 00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,799 Speaker 1: of Arizona State. Which is kind of a cool way 937 00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:46,600 Speaker 1: to end your season with all so many teams riding highs. 938 00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:49,120 Speaker 1: I kind of like how the Big Twelve as chaotic 939 00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:52,239 Speaker 1: as it's been most of the year. Like BYU took 940 00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:54,480 Speaker 1: its lumps after starting out incredibly and it looks like 941 00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:57,320 Speaker 1: they're going to finish strong. But yeah, all Baylor, ASU 942 00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:01,600 Speaker 1: and Colorado finishing on such a high pretty cool. You 943 00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:02,880 Speaker 1: don't see that in a lot of conferences. 944 00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:04,279 Speaker 2: And the other thing that you don't see in a 945 00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:08,200 Speaker 2: lot of conferences, especially now in this expanded playoffs system, 946 00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:14,680 Speaker 2: more often than not, you're going to see conference runner 947 00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,160 Speaker 2: up still find a way into a playoff game. Sure, 948 00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:19,480 Speaker 2: you're not going to see that with the Big Twelve. 949 00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:21,080 Speaker 2: The winner of the Big Twelve is going to get 950 00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:22,160 Speaker 2: into the playoff and that's it. 951 00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:23,080 Speaker 1: Huh. 952 00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,000 Speaker 2: And so there is a lot riding on this game 953 00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:29,640 Speaker 2: goes without saying, but even more so next week at noon, 954 00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:33,359 Speaker 2: because it's winning, you're in. You lose, you know, I'm 955 00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:35,960 Speaker 2: sure you go to a respectable bowl game, but right 956 00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:38,160 Speaker 2: win and in to play for something a little bit more. 957 00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:40,280 Speaker 2: That's where the Big Twelve stands at present. 958 00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:42,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, who are the big money deciders of the day, 959 00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:47,160 Speaker 1: Fran Brown getting dabbo in so single handedly keeping Miami 960 00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:50,720 Speaker 1: out as a potential second ACC team in the College 961 00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:54,240 Speaker 1: Football Playoff, Yeah, or first team obviously in if Miami 962 00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:58,480 Speaker 1: beats Syracuse, Clemson now having a shot. So that's shifting 963 00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:03,400 Speaker 1: ACC money like Clemson beating SMU. Kind of bad for 964 00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:08,000 Speaker 1: the ACC, I guess. And then all the chaos. I 965 00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:11,000 Speaker 1: don't know who's the agent of chaos that decided so 966 00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:14,279 Speaker 1: much within the Big Twelve, but yeah, these are all 967 00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:16,080 Speaker 1: of a sudden things are changing on a dime. It's 968 00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:16,600 Speaker 1: pretty great. 969 00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:20,120 Speaker 2: The other side of this, if we're going to keep 970 00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:23,160 Speaker 2: the playoff in mind, that we need to discuss Notre 971 00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:26,839 Speaker 2: Dame beat USC Yeah, pulled away from that one late. 972 00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,040 Speaker 2: I believe I pretty much called the rhythm of that game. 973 00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:32,000 Speaker 2: Did I not nail that one on the head. It's 974 00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:34,799 Speaker 2: gonna us and then they're gonna pull away late, use 975 00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:38,799 Speaker 2: defense to do it, capitalize on mistakes. It's gonna happen late. 976 00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:41,080 Speaker 2: It's gonna be one of those games that has me 977 00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:44,680 Speaker 2: texting with Mama age kind of nervously and not say 978 00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:46,239 Speaker 2: all that well. 979 00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:48,520 Speaker 1: When you said that USC was going to have like 980 00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:51,359 Speaker 1: a quarter of a miles worth of pick six is 981 00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,279 Speaker 1: in two consecutive plays, I don't don't to fact check 982 00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:57,279 Speaker 1: my math there. It was about two hundred yards of 983 00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:00,759 Speaker 1: pick six is in two plays. Like most it was 984 00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:02,879 Speaker 1: consecutive drives. Yes, executive drive us. 985 00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,000 Speaker 2: The first one was Christian Gray that went for ninety 986 00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:08,759 Speaker 2: nine yards to pick six. The second Xavier Watts who 987 00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:12,400 Speaker 2: was hurt and came back in and returned it from 988 00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:14,080 Speaker 2: a yard deep in the end zone for one hundred yards. 989 00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:15,839 Speaker 2: So yeah, one hundred and ninety nine yards of pick 990 00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:16,920 Speaker 2: sixes in. 991 00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:18,520 Speaker 1: Twenth of a mile, A little over a tenth of 992 00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,960 Speaker 1: a mile worth of pick sixes on consecutive drives. 993 00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:22,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, did not have that one on the Bingo card. 994 00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:26,160 Speaker 2: But no, it was a good effort late for Notre 995 00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:28,560 Speaker 2: Dame to sort of pad the lead. It wasn't why 996 00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:30,960 Speaker 2: they won, but it it sort of helped emphasize it. 997 00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:33,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was sort of back and forth. Jeremiah Love 998 00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:35,200 Speaker 1: got hurt after starting out really well. 999 00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:38,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, Jeremile Yeah, he bonked his knee, did something to 1000 00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:40,400 Speaker 2: his knee. I think they kept him out mostly as 1001 00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:42,440 Speaker 2: a precaution because he was working the bike. I have 1002 00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:45,239 Speaker 2: not seen I don't think anybody's reported yet exactly what's 1003 00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:48,120 Speaker 2: wrong with him. But provided Notre Dame makes the playoff, 1004 00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:50,520 Speaker 2: and I presume they will at this point, he'll have 1005 00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:52,440 Speaker 2: about three weeks to heal that thing up, and I 1006 00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:53,239 Speaker 2: think he'll be all right. 1007 00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:56,399 Speaker 1: It was it was j Darium Price was back up. Yeah, 1008 00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:57,160 Speaker 1: Jarian Price. 1009 00:51:57,239 --> 00:52:01,240 Speaker 2: And you know he's had sort of this season where 1010 00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:05,880 Speaker 2: he comes in as the backup, as the guy to 1011 00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:08,920 Speaker 2: spell Jeremiah Love, who in his own rights a home 1012 00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,120 Speaker 2: run hitter. But Jadarian Price just finds ways when you 1013 00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:15,200 Speaker 2: least expect it to also rip off a big run. 1014 00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:17,960 Speaker 2: They've got a really good backfield right now, and as 1015 00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:20,040 Speaker 2: the line has gotten a little bit better this season, 1016 00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:22,480 Speaker 2: I think we have seen those running backs sort of 1017 00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:25,319 Speaker 2: come into their own so that's been cool to see 1018 00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:29,160 Speaker 2: and how they kind of use Riley Leonard as a 1019 00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:32,680 Speaker 2: result of that to make the whole thing go. It's 1020 00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,239 Speaker 2: been interesting to watch this offensive allve As I've told 1021 00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:38,040 Speaker 2: you many times over now, it doesn't fit neatly into 1022 00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:41,880 Speaker 2: any of the conventional offensive boxes that we tend to 1023 00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:44,880 Speaker 2: talk about when we're thinking of like identity and scheme 1024 00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:46,680 Speaker 2: and things of that nature. It's a little bit of 1025 00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:50,799 Speaker 2: everything because Riley Leonard is not a prototypical anything. He's 1026 00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:53,680 Speaker 2: an improviser, is what he is. And it just feels 1027 00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:55,400 Speaker 2: like it took him a while to get to that 1028 00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:57,880 Speaker 2: point where Mike Denbrock and here on the same page. 1029 00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:00,839 Speaker 1: But who would you have seated higher, State or Notre Dame. 1030 00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:04,640 Speaker 1: I think obviously if Penn State beats organ they will 1031 00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:05,600 Speaker 1: be seated higher. 1032 00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:11,080 Speaker 2: They will be seated higher. I probably would give Penn 1033 00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:14,840 Speaker 2: State the nod over Notre Dame right now. And the 1034 00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:19,640 Speaker 2: reason I say that is something that we saw on 1035 00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:23,719 Speaker 2: display in this game against usc. Us is a flawed team, 1036 00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:28,600 Speaker 2: but usc among the teams that Notre Dame has played recently, 1037 00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:31,760 Speaker 2: is clearly the best passing team. Even with Jade Mayava 1038 00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:35,400 Speaker 2: relatively green starting quarterback, they're still far and away the 1039 00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:38,400 Speaker 2: best passing team. We saw a bunch of instances in 1040 00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:42,920 Speaker 2: this game where they were able to isolate matchups on 1041 00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:46,880 Speaker 2: the outside, one on one matchups with their receivers, and 1042 00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:50,080 Speaker 2: they were back shoulder fading Notre Dame to death. Now 1043 00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:52,920 Speaker 2: two instances late, the ones that we discussed one hundred 1044 00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:55,440 Speaker 2: and ninety nine yards have picked six is. Those were 1045 00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:59,640 Speaker 2: two instances where the strategy didn't quite work, but for 1046 00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:03,200 Speaker 2: a good chunk of the game. Otherwise, Notre Dame didn't 1047 00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:05,880 Speaker 2: really have an answer for that. And secondary, with some 1048 00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:09,240 Speaker 2: of the injuries they have taken on Benjamin Morrison chief 1049 00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:14,320 Speaker 2: among them, it's been an experiment to see the least, 1050 00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:17,560 Speaker 2: it's been an experiment to see how this secondary responds 1051 00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:21,080 Speaker 2: to offenses that they've played this year and certainly now. 1052 00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:23,440 Speaker 2: Part of why I was a little bit terrified of 1053 00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:26,600 Speaker 2: this game was I know USC can throw, what is 1054 00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:29,600 Speaker 2: it going to look like? And it it showed. I 1055 00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:33,319 Speaker 2: mean it really showed so Penn State, flawed as they 1056 00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:35,520 Speaker 2: may be as a passing offense. I like Drew Aller, 1057 00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:39,400 Speaker 2: I do think they've gotten some more pop out of 1058 00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:42,720 Speaker 2: their receivers as of late, and certainly Tyler Warren. 1059 00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:47,239 Speaker 1: Okay, they have, they have. I just watched the rest 1060 00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:49,000 Speaker 1: of the sport and see other receivers. 1061 00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:53,279 Speaker 2: Tyler Warren is again a matchup nightmare for anybody. So 1062 00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:55,759 Speaker 2: I just I think Penn State could throw on Notre 1063 00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:58,120 Speaker 2: Dame and so I'd be inclined to put them a 1064 00:54:58,120 --> 00:54:58,879 Speaker 2: little bit above them. 1065 00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:01,719 Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I'm just you've got to include resume and 1066 00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:04,479 Speaker 1: wins and how those wins go. Obviously that's a huge 1067 00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:05,920 Speaker 1: part of it. But Okay, Notre Dame. 1068 00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:08,160 Speaker 2: Look, they took care of business, they did their part. 1069 00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:10,120 Speaker 2: They want a rivalry game on the road, They're going 1070 00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:11,560 Speaker 2: to be in it. They're probably going to be seated 1071 00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:14,960 Speaker 2: right either above or below Penn State with the way 1072 00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:15,799 Speaker 2: this thing shakes out. 1073 00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:17,840 Speaker 1: But I mean, everybody in college football is going to 1074 00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:20,320 Speaker 1: be seated above or below Penn State in some regard. 1075 00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:24,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, we have Boise State. Boise State is going to 1076 00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:25,960 Speaker 2: play for the Mountain West title against UNLV. 1077 00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:27,799 Speaker 1: Can't wait. That's Friday night. 1078 00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:30,239 Speaker 2: Yes, that is Friday night at eight pm Eastern time 1079 00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:34,000 Speaker 2: in Boise in Boise Yes, that's great. Be a very big. 1080 00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:37,960 Speaker 1: Game Boise one. I won't say in like crazy impressive fashion. 1081 00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:41,600 Speaker 1: ASHTAGENTI is always crazy impressive, but they kind of pulled 1082 00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:43,839 Speaker 1: away late from Oregon State. That was a game deeper 1083 00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:46,600 Speaker 1: than I thought it would be. And UNLV with a 1084 00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:51,880 Speaker 1: really nice performance over Nevada the interstate matchup. Hajj Malik 1085 00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:54,880 Speaker 1: Williams a great dual threat performance, really good performance. 1086 00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, Tulane lost. 1087 00:55:57,719 --> 00:55:59,520 Speaker 1: To I lost. Battle of the Marios. 1088 00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:04,880 Speaker 2: Tulane lost. I did not see this one coming. You 1089 00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:06,839 Speaker 2: were pretty high on tou Lane. Yeah, they lost at home. 1090 00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:10,800 Speaker 2: We're pretty high on Tulane. Tulane was this one team 1091 00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:13,920 Speaker 2: like out of the American We're looking at seedings, We're 1092 00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:16,880 Speaker 2: looking at the ways that the rules for the playoffs 1093 00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:20,840 Speaker 2: are drawn up, and it's not clear that all of 1094 00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:24,319 Speaker 2: the Power Conference teams are necessarily guaranteed a spot. It's 1095 00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:29,080 Speaker 2: a top five ranked conference champions. So there was at 1096 00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:31,719 Speaker 2: least a school of thought that if everything kind of 1097 00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:35,080 Speaker 2: continues and we don't have too much chaos, at least 1098 00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:38,160 Speaker 2: on the Tulane side, they could find their way into 1099 00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:40,920 Speaker 2: a very interesting conversation of potentially being ranked above a 1100 00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:45,080 Speaker 2: conference champion. That would have especially been true now as 1101 00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:47,160 Speaker 2: we do this episode, given what else is going on 1102 00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:49,480 Speaker 2: around college football. But Tulane lost. 1103 00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:53,600 Speaker 1: Tulane lost. They got run all over and committed too 1104 00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:58,080 Speaker 1: many turnovers, gave away too many possessions, threw the ball. Well. Yeah, 1105 00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:02,120 Speaker 1: Mario Williams is very good. Mario Anderson for Memphis Battle 1106 00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:04,759 Speaker 1: of Marios, kept them on the field. 1107 00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:07,120 Speaker 2: Kept them on the field. Memphis isn't even a running team. 1108 00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:10,680 Speaker 2: They ran all over to lane in this game. So 1109 00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:14,359 Speaker 2: those are the sort of notable matchups. I do want 1110 00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:15,799 Speaker 2: to give a call out to some of the other 1111 00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:19,120 Speaker 2: games that I think were meaningful here and there. But 1112 00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:21,600 Speaker 2: just to kind of circle back on all of this, 1113 00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:26,560 Speaker 2: We've got three conference championship games on Friday night. Conference 1114 00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:28,280 Speaker 2: USA is going to be a rematch of a game 1115 00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:31,680 Speaker 2: we saw today that Western Kentucky won. Western Kentucky against 1116 00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:35,400 Speaker 2: Jacksonville State. We've got the Boise UNLV game, which is 1117 00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:38,120 Speaker 2: also a rematch from a game we saw earlier in 1118 00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:39,720 Speaker 2: this year that was a really good game. I hope 1119 00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:42,840 Speaker 2: this one is two yep. And the American Tulane is 1120 00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:45,240 Speaker 2: still in their conference championship game, maybe not playing for 1121 00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:48,200 Speaker 2: the same stakes as before with a playoff spot potentially 1122 00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:51,960 Speaker 2: on the line to lane against Army Friday night. Once 1123 00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:54,480 Speaker 2: he gets to Saturday, there are six games of note. 1124 00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:57,040 Speaker 2: There's the Big twelve game. At noon, it's Arizona State 1125 00:57:57,160 --> 00:58:01,040 Speaker 2: probably against Iowa State at time of recording. Also at 1126 00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:04,120 Speaker 2: twelve noon, it's the MAC between Miami Ohio. You were 1127 00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:07,480 Speaker 2: right about that pick Dan versus Ohio, so it's an 1128 00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:11,360 Speaker 2: all Ohio battle for the MAC. At four pm, it's 1129 00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:14,720 Speaker 2: Texas Georgia for the SEC. At four thirty it's Louisiana 1130 00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:18,120 Speaker 2: against Marshall. Marshall came back and won a wild overtime 1131 00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:22,640 Speaker 2: thriller against James Madison to punch their ticket into the 1132 00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:25,880 Speaker 2: Sun Belt Championship game. That's at four thirty on Saturday. 1133 00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:28,840 Speaker 2: And then there is a doubleheader at eight pm. We 1134 00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:32,800 Speaker 2: got the ACC game SMU against Clemson, and we've got 1135 00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:36,560 Speaker 2: a solid ver Bowl of sorts. Your oh man, you're 1136 00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:40,640 Speaker 2: Oregon Ducks my Penn State Nitney Lions. Where do they 1137 00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:45,280 Speaker 2: play the Indianapolis right, Yeah, Lucas Soilfield. That game is 1138 00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:47,959 Speaker 2: also at eight pm. The Big ten titles, so much 1139 00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:51,240 Speaker 2: more to come on the Conference Championship front front. We 1140 00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:55,400 Speaker 2: will preview those games a little bit later on this week. 1141 00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:58,080 Speaker 1: I've flirted with going to Indy. It's an easy drive 1142 00:58:58,120 --> 00:58:59,959 Speaker 1: for me. It's a little farther for you. What's about 1143 00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:01,959 Speaker 1: two and a half hour ride for you, a little 1144 00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:05,680 Speaker 1: over three hours from Chicago. Yeah, not a great drive 1145 00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:08,880 Speaker 1: just in terms of like beautiful glacier visst Us or 1146 00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:14,120 Speaker 1: anything like that. It's a pretty flat, unspectacular drive. But 1147 00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:17,040 Speaker 1: it's easy. I flirted with it, but I think I 1148 00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,320 Speaker 1: would only go if you were going, And it's kind 1149 00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:21,120 Speaker 1: of difficult. We got to do the stream after, so 1150 00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:23,320 Speaker 1: we would have to do the stream like from the 1151 00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:25,840 Speaker 1: dome in some way or I don't know. 1152 00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:28,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, if there are any tech whizzes out there with 1153 00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:31,200 Speaker 2: access to like high speed satellite or fiber internet, give 1154 00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:31,960 Speaker 2: us a holler at so. 1155 00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:34,920 Speaker 1: We could also just yeah, we could also just stream 1156 00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:38,760 Speaker 1: it live from the comfort of our own homes. 1157 00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:42,120 Speaker 2: So we'll see, we'll see, we'll see. All things are 1158 00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:42,560 Speaker 2: still it. 1159 00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:46,280 Speaker 1: Depends on depends the pizza options. Honestly. At this point, all. 1160 00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:48,600 Speaker 2: Right, let me give a shout out to games here 1161 00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:51,160 Speaker 2: that that jumped off the page to me. We still 1162 00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:53,800 Speaker 2: have to read tweets, we still have to play. We 1163 00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:55,680 Speaker 2: got a lot of them, So we've got to do 1164 00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:58,320 Speaker 2: dood alerts. We're going to zip through these best we can. 1165 00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:00,000 Speaker 2: We don't want this to be an hour show. It's right, 1166 01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,000 Speaker 2: pretty late pay three hour show. 1167 01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:03,480 Speaker 1: It's ready, We're already had an hour. 1168 01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:07,360 Speaker 2: A couple ones here that jumped out to me. Did 1169 01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:09,120 Speaker 2: we mention Duke earlier in the episode? 1170 01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:10,320 Speaker 1: No, but we should. 1171 01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:13,520 Speaker 2: Duke is maybe the quietest nine and three team. I 1172 01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:16,320 Speaker 2: still don't know if Duke is that good, but the 1173 01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:19,920 Speaker 2: fact that Duke is nine and three is an absolute 1174 01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:22,959 Speaker 2: coup for Bany Diaz in year one, So good on him. 1175 01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:27,240 Speaker 2: Louisville destroyed. Where is my sound here? I have it? 1176 01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:29,160 Speaker 1: Guests who just got. 1177 01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:33,840 Speaker 2: They destroyed Kentucky forty one to fourteen. They had three 1178 01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:36,960 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty eight yards on the ground and four touchdowns. 1179 01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:39,480 Speaker 2: It felt like I had this game on one of 1180 01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:42,160 Speaker 2: my quad boxes. It felt like they were ripping off 1181 01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:46,720 Speaker 2: a gigantic run every time I looked at the television. Yeah. Absolutely, 1182 01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:49,680 Speaker 2: mind boggling. A lot of exercise, a lot of exercise. 1183 01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:53,000 Speaker 2: NC State another one of these games where you had 1184 01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:56,320 Speaker 2: the flag planting afterwards and the fight that ensued. This 1185 01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:58,880 Speaker 2: was a wild game with the way it finished, because 1186 01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:01,360 Speaker 2: he had Omari and Hampton scoring a go ahead touchdown 1187 01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:05,440 Speaker 2: inside two minutes, only to have NC States Hollywood Smothers 1188 01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:08,280 Speaker 2: then come back and score a two yard touchdown. Yeah, 1189 01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:10,640 Speaker 2: with twenty five seconds left. That gave them the win 1190 01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:14,760 Speaker 2: and made them Bowl eligible. It's been a season of disappointment. 1191 01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:17,280 Speaker 2: It's been a rocky year. It's been a rocky season. 1192 01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:19,560 Speaker 2: But the fact that they're able to get Bull eligible 1193 01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:23,800 Speaker 2: I think is meaningful. So good on them. Yes, Minnesota 1194 01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:29,280 Speaker 2: retains the acts DAN twenty four to seven over Wisconsin. 1195 01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:34,720 Speaker 2: Wisconsin is bad man. Wisconsin had forty three yards in 1196 01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:36,720 Speaker 2: the first half. They had one hundred and sixty six 1197 01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:39,920 Speaker 2: yards in total. It goes without saying the Minnesota defense 1198 01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:42,520 Speaker 2: just way too much for where this Wisconsin offense is at. 1199 01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:45,600 Speaker 2: They have problems that they need to solve this offseason. 1200 01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:48,200 Speaker 1: This is the end of a Bull streak. Yes, for 1201 01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:50,720 Speaker 1: a Bull streak like something like seventeen years. Maybe my 1202 01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:52,919 Speaker 1: year is off, you could fact check it. It's Yeah, 1203 01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:56,400 Speaker 1: it was a long streak. They're not going a Bowl. 1204 01:01:57,280 --> 01:02:02,280 Speaker 1: I will beat Nebraska in the Heroes. Yes, can't confirm. 1205 01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:09,240 Speaker 2: Thirteen to ten Iowa wan with five first downs one 1206 01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:13,480 Speaker 2: hundred and sixty four total yards and going oh for 1207 01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:16,280 Speaker 2: ten on third downs. 1208 01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:22,200 Speaker 1: It's a special kind of magic that Kirk Farence weaves 1209 01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:23,320 Speaker 1: this time of year. Tie. 1210 01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:27,720 Speaker 2: It's like chopped, but with weird football circumstances. Oh, make 1211 01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:30,440 Speaker 2: me a win, but do it by going oh for 1212 01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:33,000 Speaker 2: ten on third downs with just five first downs the 1213 01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:34,240 Speaker 2: entirety of the football game. 1214 01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:37,120 Speaker 1: Did you see the stat about Kirk Farence when his 1215 01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:41,200 Speaker 1: team is under two hundred yards? It was Kirk Farrance, 1216 01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:44,080 Speaker 1: I apologize, is not my stat. Let's be clear. I 1217 01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:48,080 Speaker 1: saw somebody on Twitter post it. I'll try to credit them. 1218 01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:52,400 Speaker 1: It was he is like six and seven when Iowa 1219 01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:55,640 Speaker 1: does not put up two hundred total yards and the 1220 01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:59,440 Speaker 1: rest of college football in that time during it, like 1221 01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:04,680 Speaker 1: as Kirk Farns's tenure has lasted, is like fourteen and 1222 01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:08,920 Speaker 1: nine hundred and fifty. Like he is a true wizard 1223 01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:12,480 Speaker 1: and that's something to be treasured. In a very backwards, 1224 01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:13,480 Speaker 1: sad way. 1225 01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:19,160 Speaker 2: Unbelievable, Rutgers kept Michigan State from going to a bowl 1226 01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:22,320 Speaker 2: in Jonathan Smith's first year. You warned me about this one. 1227 01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:23,040 Speaker 1: Mm hmm. 1228 01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:26,600 Speaker 2: You said, all Rutgers does is crush emotions. This is 1229 01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:27,520 Speaker 2: a snow game. 1230 01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:31,280 Speaker 1: And Michigan State just hasn't been that good runers. At 1231 01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:32,720 Speaker 1: least sometimes it's pretty good. 1232 01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:36,360 Speaker 2: Rutgers scored on eight of their nine possessions. Yeah, they 1233 01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:38,320 Speaker 2: rushed for over two hundred yards. They had ten more 1234 01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:40,280 Speaker 2: minutes of possession. I should have known then to go 1235 01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:43,760 Speaker 2: against my heel monster, but I did. Rutgers finished is 1236 01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:46,959 Speaker 2: seven and five, seven to five, Michigan State five and seven. 1237 01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:50,560 Speaker 2: A few other ones that I wanted to call out, Please, 1238 01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:54,440 Speaker 2: I'll call out Utah beating UCF. Not so much for 1239 01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:57,000 Speaker 2: the win, but because Gus Melson has resigned. 1240 01:03:57,240 --> 01:03:58,240 Speaker 1: He's out. 1241 01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:01,320 Speaker 2: He has resigned and he is taking over offensive coordinator 1242 01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:03,960 Speaker 2: at Florida State. So he's sort of pulling a Chip Kelly, 1243 01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:08,800 Speaker 2: leaving one coaching spot to take on an assistant role. 1244 01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:11,840 Speaker 2: We'll have to see which direction UCF goes. It's a 1245 01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:15,000 Speaker 2: program that values football and is trying to build something there. 1246 01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:17,960 Speaker 2: Let me play this sound again if you can. 1247 01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:19,160 Speaker 1: Just got. 1248 01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:23,760 Speaker 2: Texas Tech fifty two West Virginia fifteen. This game was 1249 01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:27,640 Speaker 2: a nightmare. This was an absolute nightmare. Monster games for 1250 01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:32,000 Speaker 2: Baron Morton, Josh Kelly, and TODJ. Brooks. Tech has eight 1251 01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:34,640 Speaker 2: regular season wins now for the first time since two 1252 01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:37,440 Speaker 2: thousand and nine. So good on now. They have been 1253 01:04:37,480 --> 01:04:40,720 Speaker 2: whisper quiet this whole way through. It has not been 1254 01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:44,600 Speaker 2: a clinic on defense to say the least, but offensively 1255 01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:46,240 Speaker 2: they have found ways to get it done and they've 1256 01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:50,360 Speaker 2: got players. Fifty two to fifteen was your final score there. 1257 01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:54,920 Speaker 2: We'll give a shout out to TCU for winning twenty 1258 01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:58,720 Speaker 2: to thirteen over Cincinnati. They clinched the Big twelve title 1259 01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:00,919 Speaker 2: appearance for Arizona State. Virtue of this win. 1260 01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:03,080 Speaker 1: Wow, So good I am. 1261 01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:06,280 Speaker 2: And last, but certainly not least Dan if I can 1262 01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:13,120 Speaker 2: the Florida Gators. Florida Gators win thirty one to eleven 1263 01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:17,000 Speaker 2: over Florida State. It is a weird year to be 1264 01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:18,440 Speaker 2: a Florida Gators fan, is it not? 1265 01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:19,680 Speaker 1: It is? 1266 01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:22,160 Speaker 2: It is an incredibly weird year to be a Florida 1267 01:05:22,200 --> 01:05:26,040 Speaker 2: Gator fan. But it seems as if they are at 1268 01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:31,320 Speaker 2: least riding some positive momentum here down the stretch. To 1269 01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:34,640 Speaker 2: win this one over rival by twenty is significant, So 1270 01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:37,720 Speaker 2: good on them. We had wins by LSU they won 1271 01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:41,280 Speaker 2: by twenty as well. Over Oklahoma Miszoo won by seven 1272 01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:44,920 Speaker 2: over Arkansas in the Battle Line Rivalry. I think we 1273 01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:48,600 Speaker 2: mentioned all the other SEC games as well, so a 1274 01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:51,760 Speaker 2: lot of interest. And I think some of these what 1275 01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:55,920 Speaker 2: do we call them, maybe undercard matchups in the power Conferences, 1276 01:05:56,400 --> 01:05:59,000 Speaker 2: there have been a bunch of games that are meaningful 1277 01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:03,200 Speaker 2: in their own right. That's all I got. 1278 01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:05,120 Speaker 1: You want to do, dudes, you want to do some 1279 01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:06,160 Speaker 1: role playing? What do you want to do? 1280 01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:10,880 Speaker 2: I want to hear what the people had to say. Okay, 1281 01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:17,920 Speaker 2: play with me. Who the hell am I who? We 1282 01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:21,400 Speaker 2: put out this call on social media. We ask you 1283 01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:24,120 Speaker 2: very simply tell us who you're a fan of and 1284 01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:26,240 Speaker 2: how you're feeling right now. We do it every Saturday. 1285 01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:29,280 Speaker 2: It's been a big hit. We have more responses each 1286 01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:31,800 Speaker 2: week each time we do this, Dan, what do we 1287 01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:32,280 Speaker 2: get today? 1288 01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:35,320 Speaker 1: I'm a Tennessee fan and I'm feeling better now that 1289 01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:38,040 Speaker 1: we overcame a fourteen point deficit. Yeah, that was a 1290 01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:41,880 Speaker 1: Vanderbilt kickoff return for a touchdown to open up the game, 1291 01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:44,200 Speaker 1: and then a Dylan Sampson fumble led to a quick 1292 01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:46,360 Speaker 1: Vanderbilt score fourteen nothing. Then it was just all. 1293 01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:47,080 Speaker 2: It was over. 1294 01:06:47,240 --> 01:06:49,160 Speaker 1: After that point, it was it was all Tennessee. 1295 01:06:49,200 --> 01:06:50,080 Speaker 2: It was all Tennessee. 1296 01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:52,440 Speaker 1: It was thirty six to nine from that point on. 1297 01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:55,920 Speaker 1: I'm a Baylor fan and I'm feeling lol tie picked 1298 01:06:56,040 --> 01:07:00,000 Speaker 1: Kansas arts in all capitals. I'm a penn State fan, 1299 01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:02,720 Speaker 1: and I'm feeling unprepared for a big event next Saturday 1300 01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:06,160 Speaker 1: that I was told we were invited to. I'm an 1301 01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:08,920 Speaker 1: a lion I fan and I'm feeling citrusy. I'm an 1302 01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:12,080 Speaker 1: Ohio State fan and I am not above the Girard 1303 01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:14,320 Speaker 1: Way line today.

I'm not okay, trust me? 1306 01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:21,960 Speaker 1: Is what That's my assumption. Somebody just responded to my 1307 01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:24,840 Speaker 1: orca because that, I guess is the guy co cave Man. 1308 01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:27,560 Speaker 1: You see. I hopeful for the first time in a 1309 01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:29,640 Speaker 1: long time. I'm a QUS fan. I'm feeling like it's 1310 01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:34,080 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety eight. Would that be Donovan mcnabby for acuse 1311 01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:37,000 Speaker 1: South Carolina fan like, we're still gonna be left out 1312 01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:39,720 Speaker 1: of the collegetball playoff despite being deserving. 1313 01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:42,960 Speaker 2: Maybe probably sort. 1314 01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:44,040 Speaker 1: Of at times deserving. 1315 01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:46,439 Speaker 2: Deserving is doing a little bit of heavy lifting there. 1316 01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:49,040 Speaker 1: That's okay, though I appreciate it. South Carolina. 1317 01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:52,040 Speaker 2: I like South Carolina I sure, let's put him in 1318 01:07:52,080 --> 01:07:52,400 Speaker 2: why not? 1319 01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:55,720 Speaker 1: But I don't.

I'm Gonnaclaho. I'm a fan. You didn't 1322 01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:03,400 Speaker 1: mention this. I don't believe the LSU game. 1323 01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:07,280 Speaker 2: I mentioned it briefly thirty seven seventeen. 1324 01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:10,000 Speaker 1: They lost something like that. Yes, yeah, nice, nice bounce 1325 01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:13,920 Speaker 1: back for LSU after a pretty terrible by LSU standards 1326 01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:17,120 Speaker 1: back half of the season. Feeling bull eligible, which is 1327 01:08:17,120 --> 01:08:21,360 Speaker 1: all that matters anymore. Georgia Tech optimist about the future 1328 01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:24,680 Speaker 1: Miami Mario Gonna Mario, You're a Georgia Tech fan and 1329 01:08:24,720 --> 01:08:27,840 Speaker 1: a Miami fan.
