Speaker 1: Fifteen, twenty twenty five, thirty thirty five, forty twenty five fifty.

00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 2: And the kick as Block Look college Football, Laura stund.

5
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, please stumbled and.

6
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 2: The lateral canter on the job, don't you the Lavena

7
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:35,919
Speaker 2: tap them up the field to night.

8
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: It's not the side on the dog in the fight,

9
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: it's the side of the fight in the roll. Welcome

10
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: to the Big Bets on Campus Podcast presented by bet MGM.

11
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 1: This is the group of five deep dive. I'm Mike

12
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: Caliberys joined by my co host Mike Ianello. We're gonna

13
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: go over all things G five, which means a recap

14
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: of Week zero, some of our G five heroes, and

15
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,279
Speaker 1: then we get into the good stuff. We have our

16
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: best bets, our G five high five and our underdog

17
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: money line parlay. Week zero. Now in the books, we

18
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: had a lot of frisky play out of G five

19
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: teams that we thought maybe bottom of the barrel. New

20
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: Mexico chief among them, a fourteen point dog. They had

21
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: a fourth quarter lead over Montana State. Unfortunately they gave

22
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: up the last twenty one points of that game. The

23
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: three scores by the Bobs enough for them to get

24
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: by at the gun, but New Mexico State one to

25
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: zero against the spread in the win column. There, I'm

26
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: looking forward to back in the Lobos time and time

27
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: again the season. They may go three and nine outright,

28
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: but if they can go nine and three against the spread,

29
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,639
Speaker 1: they will be a darling of this podcast. The bigger

30
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: shock to me was the Nevada wolf Pack. They end

31
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 1: up really giving SMU some problems. SMU had to pull

32
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: that out of the fire late. A former G five hero,

33
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: Preston Stone the Stone Age turning back time, connects with RJ.

34
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: Maryland late in that game, who's an absolute stud. I

35
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: think he's got future NFL tight end ridden all over him.

36
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: And then finally, the Hawaii Delaware State game I think

37
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: was a bit of a wash. You had Hurricane hone

38
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: basically creating awful weather conditions. It was thirty mile an

39
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: hour gus it more or less grounded the run and

40
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: shoot offense. Brandon Shager, to his credit, still goes ahead

41
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 1: and gets four total touchdowns. They went comfortably, but at

42
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: no point were they really even in the conversation to

43
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: be covering that forty point spread. So that's it for

44
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: a week zero before we get the G five heroes.

45
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: What were your thoughts on the opening appetizer of the

46
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: college all season.

47
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, well you said it was it was fun to

48
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 3: kind of give. I was love when you know, obviously

49
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 3: we watched these teams. It was cool that, you know, everyone,

50
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 3: you know, we were going to talk about Dan Pierre

51
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 3: all year, and it was cool that he kind of

52
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,239
Speaker 3: got that that solo spotlight.

53
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 4: So I was glad to see that.

54
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Hawaii game, you know, we found this Apple

55
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 3: streamed a game and so I'm just stating on the

56
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 3: couch tootching my phone three in the morning. And yeah,

57
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 3: once I realized that that was that was never in now.

58
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 3: I made it till the end of the third and

59
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 3: then I was like, all right, why is gonna win

60
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 3: but not cover? So that's kind of when I was

61
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 3: eight month old baby. I can't afford to be saying

62
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 3: up till three in the morning anymore. So I did

63
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 3: pack it in after three quarters. But yeah, it was

64
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 3: a fun slate. And now we turn the page to

65
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 3: Week one, which obviously exciting. Marcol I'm never gonna complain

66
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 3: about football. Got to tweak the schedule a little bit.

67
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 3: There's only thirty nine FBS first FBS games can't have that.

68
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 3: I know you're an FCS guy, so hopefully you have

69
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 3: a better insight, but I hate seeing this many FCS matchups.

70
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 3: You gotta sprinkle them in weeks one, two, and three

71
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 3: divide them out a little easier. So obviously I'm excited

72
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 3: for football, but a little disappointing Week one slate if

73
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 3: I'm being quite honest with you.

74
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 4: But regardless, we're gonna find some winners here.

75
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: What's nice about culturebalt because I absolutely agree with you

76
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: there is a lot of empty calories with these games,

77
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: for lack of a better phrase, but the way that

78
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: they stretched it out in terms of the time windows,

79
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: you know, both going into Sunday and also Labor Day.

80
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: There's some standalone island games that are pretty interesting, so

81
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: I think they'll get us through. But yes, too many

82
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: FCS doormats, because I like to differentiate between FCS ranked

83
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: teams that are quality and fun to watch and some

84
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: of these teams that are purely collecting a paycheck. I'm

85
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: looking at you, Arkansas playing bluff the Golden Lions. By

86
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: the way, speaking of Arkansas Pine left their last six

87
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: paycheck games, They've lost by an average of forty eight

88
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: points per game. They're spread against Arkansas in Week one

89
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: forty eight. So I think that's the sportsbook's going. I'm

90
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: not going to research this their crap, what's their historical numbers,

91
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: Slap on a spread and hopefully nobody bets it. Let's

92
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: get into G five here, so let's bring the positivity

93
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: up here to start the season. Locking Hero, I'm going

94
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: to stick in the New Mexico game. Noah Avinger, the

95
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: cornerback for the Lobos fourteen, tackles two pass breakups, but

96
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: critically a scoop and score late in the game that

97
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: made it sweat free to go ahead and cover that

98
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: number catching fourteen And it was one of those was

99
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 1: that a forward pass? Is it a fumble? And it

100
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: always kills me? It seems like it always goes against

101
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: me in those situations where my defenders when I need

102
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: them to scoop it up, they think it's an incomplete pass,

103
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: they stop running and if it goes the other way,

104
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: their guys are always in the end zone. He just

105
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: went played right through the whistle, goes to the the

106
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: end zone. Stretches across the goal line gets the TV there,

107
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: So I love that. Go Lobos. As I mentioned at

108
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: the topest team, I'm gonna be backing a lot this season.

109
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be really feisty, particularly if they

110
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: can get some decent defensive play. And they did it

111
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: for three quarters until they were just giving up ninety

112
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: five yard touchdowns on the ground. But Avenger is my

113
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: G five hero of Week zero.

114
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with my hero, Henry Ika Hihifo, edge

115
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 3: rusher for Nevada in the era of the transfer portal,

116
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 3: anil and everybody looking out for themselves and what's best

117
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 3: for them and them only. This is the guy who

118
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 3: started his career at Nevada in twenty nineteen for two years,

119
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,799
Speaker 3: went to College of Canynes for a year, then Cal

120
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 3: for a year, then back to Nevada for the last

121
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 3: two years. And why he is my hero is because

122
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 3: that nevada S new game was a little chippy early on,

123
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 3: and Henry Ika Jijipo seize one of his teammates gets

124
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 3: slapped by an SMU player and does not hesitate to

125
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 3: put his ass on the ground.

126
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 4: In defense of his teammate. I love it.

127
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 3: Look, don't be throwing punches just he It's assault bit

128
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 3: stupid for Gywin helmet, but I fully endorse just shoving

129
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 3: out of the ground when he takes the first shot.

130
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 3: So I'm giving it to him for sticking up for

131
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 3: his teammate without hesitation.

132
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 4: I never started a fight, always finished it.

133
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 3: I love to see that, and I think it was

134
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 3: just a perfect representation of how Nevada played that entire game.

135
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 3: They were not scared for a second. They never looked

136
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 3: like the underdog, they never acted like the underdog. They

137
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 3: took the lead early, like you said, they held it

138
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 3: until two minutes ago when Stone took over and covered.

139
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 3: But it was a very impressive first game for Jeff

140
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 3: Chot and this Nevada team, And I just I love

141
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 3: the fight that they showed, not backing down from SMU

142
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 3: at all. So he gets my G five here of

143
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 3: the week for instant defense of his teammate and not

144
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 3: backing down to the new acc blue Blood and SMU.

145
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: It was like a full Chappelle show, Rick James, Charlie Murphy.

146
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: Forget about slapping, they were spitting in that game. There

147
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: were some penalties that I have never seen in a

148
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: college football game, and postgame Brett Lashley said that it

149
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: was retaliatory spitting. I'm like, this is phenomenal. This is

150
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: exactly we've been waiting all this time for college football

151
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: to come back, and oh, it's this sleepy Week zero start.

152
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: These games aren't going to be very good. It gave

153
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: me everything I wanted to add more in that game.

154
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: Forget the fact that SMU didn't even come close to

155
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: hitting the team total over forty one because they were

156
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,559
Speaker 1: messing around with Jennings and Stone and they looked all

157
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: off timing, you know, in terms of their offense in

158
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: the first couple drives. But that game delivered for me.

159
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: All Right, I'm gonna be honest with you. We've done

160
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: previous season, We've done Week zero, We've done all these

161

173
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: we've done all this table setting. The season's here. I

174
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: can't wait to get into the very first full slate

175
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: best bets.

176
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 4: Please lead us off well, I get to go first.

177
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 4: This is fun.

178
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 3: I am gonna back one of our former booze give

179
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 3: me Indiana minus twenty one against FIU. The first thing

180
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 3: I did was tex Colin Wilson and ask him to

181
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 3: go into his archives and figure out what he would

182
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 3: have made James Madison last year against FIU. He said

183
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 3: he makes it twenty five and a half on a

184
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 3: neutral field. Obviously, when Indiana hired kurtz signety from James Madison,

185
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 3: all he does is win Google it. Yeah, it's pretty simple.

186
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 3: I win Google me fifty three in seventeen and six

187
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 3: years at iup fourteen to nine with two playoff appearances

188
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 3: in two years at Elon fifty two to nine in

189
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,719
Speaker 3: five years at James Madison three straight conference titles in

190
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 3: the FCS with playoff appearances, and he would have reached

191
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 3: the Sunbelt game in both years in the FBS.

192
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 4: Obviously they weren't.

193
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 3: Eligible, though, so then he picks up shop heads to

194
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 3: Bloomington to replace Tom Allen and basically brings this entire

195
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 3: JMU team, especially on defense mkal Kamara, James Carpenter, Tyreek Tucker,

196
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 3: Aiden Fisher, Jalen Walker, Dangelo Ponds. All of them were

197
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 3: all all sun Belt defenders. Now they're going to slide

198
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 3: it into this Indiana defense. On offense, they bring in

199
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 3: one thousand yard receiver Elijah Starratt, thousand yard running back

200
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 3: Kaylon Black, and his backup Tyson Lawson, all sun Belt

201
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 3: tight end Zach Horton, guards Nick Kidwell, and Tyler Steeves Stevens.

202
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 3: Then they also add quarterback Curtis Rourke, a favorite of

203
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 3: this podcast, the Maple Missile. The Little Maple Missile transfers

204
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 3: in after throwing for seven thousand yards and fifty touchdow at.

205
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 4: Ohio Mac Player of the Year two years ago.

206
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 3: So Roork should have plenty of good weapons at his

207
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 3: disposed of with Serrah, Indiana's top receiver last year, Donovan

208
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 3: mccully's returning he had five touchdowns and four hundred and

209
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 3: twenty yards over the last five games, really came.

210
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 4: On late for the Hoosiers.

211
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 3: On paper, Yeah, this defense return is just one starter,

212
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 3: but like six starters are from jmu so I kind

213
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 3: of don't really put much stock into that. I think

214
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 3: this defense is going to be fantastic upfront. We saw

215
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 3: James Madison defense last year with most of these guys

216
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 3: two point six rushing yards per carry last season, second

217
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 3: best in the country. They allowed over one hundred rushing

218
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 3: yards just twice all season, So you know, when we've

219
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 3: done these these season long pods, I feel like the

220
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 3: question everyone keeps asking all off season when discussing Indiana's

221
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 3: futures is would James Madison have been able to compete

222
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 3: in the Big Ten last year? For fear, It's it's

223
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 3: you know, could how badly would James Madison be a

224
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 3: bad group of five team? According to Colin it's twenty

225
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 3: five and a half. So now, look, I might feel

226
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 3: differently if this game was played in pitt Bull Stadium went.

227
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 4: From mister three to zero five.

228
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 3: They can so miss the world. Wead hell around the

229
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 3: world but it's not and I am not very high

230
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 3: on FIU. We talked about it when we did the preview.

231
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 3: Kean Jenkins eleven touchdowns, eleven picks. I don't think he's

232
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 3: very good. Star receiver. Chris Mitchell's gone. He had six

233
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 3: of FIU's twelve passing touchdowns that he caught. They have

234
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 3: good running back death, but I'm not sure if any

235
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 3: of them are good. And I don't real expect you

236
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 3: to be able to run in this Indiana defense. So defensively,

237
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 3: FIU creates no havoc. They managed just sixteen sacks seventeen

238
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 3: sacks all season, so Rockshire be able to just sit

239
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,119
Speaker 3: in this pocket, slow the game down, find his receivers

240
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 3: all day long, and we have seen Signetti have no

241
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 3: problem running up the score when he wants to make

242
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 3: a statement. I looked back the first game of James

243
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 3: Madison moving up to the FBS. They beat Middle Tennessee

244
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 3: forty four to seven, and then the following week they

245
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 3: beat Norfolk State sixty three to seven, so he wanted

246
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 3: to make those statements. They hung forty on teams six

247
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 3: times in twenty twenty two, five times last year, so

248
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 3: I think if soon that he can run it up.

249
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 3: Make this, Hey, we're in the Big ten now. The

250
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 3: G five All Star Team basically is playing in the

251
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 3: Big ten on the Big Ten network. I think the

252
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 3: Hoosiers maga statement, I got it at twenty and a half.

253
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 3: It's floating between twenty one twenty one and a half. Look, obviously,

254
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 3: if you can get twenty one, take it. The hook

255
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 3: doesn't scare me. I think they smoke them. So I'm

256
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 3: laying the twenty one with Indiana here against FIU.

257
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: You know that I aspire to be mister Worldwide this year.

258
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: An FIU backer Kewan Jenkins. I love the guy. I

259
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,719
Speaker 1: follow him on Instagram. He's electric as a playmaker. He's

260
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: a lot of fun as a content creator. But this

261
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: is the handshake of Mooji to get the season started.

262
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 1: I am with you. Lay the points I use. Receiving

263
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: cores alone is going to absolutely devastate this FIU defense,

264
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 1: And for that reason, I think there's going to be

265
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: a lot of big plays. And going through and doing

266
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: your homework on a coach is really important when it

267
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: comes to how do they act when they're up three

268
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: or four touchdowns. This guy was born with a chip

269
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: on his shoulder. So I agree with you. He's going

270
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: to run it up. He wants to rebrand Indiana as

271
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: a feisty seven or eight win team this year. That's

272
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: got to start in Week one for him. So I

273
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: am totally with you. I'm gonna stick in a similar

274
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 1: mentality here. I'm gonna go with a Power four team

275
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: hosting a G five team and laying close to three touchdowns.

276
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: The South Carolina game Cocks laying twenty and a half

277
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: against Old Dominion. South Carolina has all the pieces in

278
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: place offensively, now hear me out. Leonora Sellers has absolute

279
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: upside as a dual threat quarterback. He's a big boy,

280
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: and when he's got room to operate, he can show

281
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: off a really strong arm and he can burn defenses

282
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: with his legs. Rocket Sanders comes in from Arkansas, and

283
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: when he was healthy, even with an awful offensive line

284
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 1: at Arkansas, he was able to put up some really

285
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: good numbers. Nick Carber everyone's pick in SEC Country to

286
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: be a breakout star. He's six foot five, two hundred

287
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: and forty pounds and an Olympic level track star. When

288
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 1: you look at his two hundred meter time twenty seconds,

289
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: twenty point two seconds was his personal best. That's an

290
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: automatic qualification for the Olympic Trials. It's not just hyperbole

291
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: that he has Olympic speed. This guy is special. We'll

292
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: see if year two as a receiver he can finally

293
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: put it all together, because there's a lot of finer

294
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: points to reading defenses, option routes, being able to run

295
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: an entire route tree that just wasn't in his repertoire

296
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: last season. I think he could have a big breakout

297
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: game here against an old Dominion defense that hattached work

298
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: a lot of transfers in. We'll see if they're going

299
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: to lose him in coverage. Obviously, you're going to have

300
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: to roll coverage to him the entire game. It makes

301
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: life for Norris and the rest of the offense easier

302
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: with one on ones across the field. Now, if you

303
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: listen to the SEC preview with Colin Stuck, it was

304
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: an excellent listen, go ahead deep dive on every single team.

305
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: The points that Colin brought up are all valid, and

306
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: it comes down to the offensive line was trash for

307
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: South Carolina last year per PFF one hundred and sixth

308
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: and pass blocking one hundred and twenty first and run blocking.

309
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: That was the worst in the SEC in terms of

310
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: run blocking and second worst in terms of pass blocking.

311
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: But they were never going to succeed last year because

312
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: they had injuries NonStop. I think they have thirteen or

313
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: fourteen guy start games and they were mixing and matching

314
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: pieces the whole time. This year, they come in healthy

315
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: in Game one. They added three to three star offensive

316
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: linemen in the portal. They give them depth, and depending

317
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: on how you qualify starters, you can make an argument

318
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: that they have four starters back. So yes, I think

319
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: a big issue was that they couldn't move people in

320
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: the trench, but a part of that was not having

321
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: continuity and not being healthy for the entire season. Also,

322
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: when you look at Old Dominion, they were a defense

323
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: that could not get in the backfield all that often.

324
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: And one of their best players at at Wayne Matthews,

325
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: is off to Michigan State. Is nine and a half

326
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: tackles for a loss are going to be sorely missed. Yes,

327
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: Jason Henderson, the tackle king remains. He'll have seventeen tackles

328
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: in this game. He'll be well on his way to

329
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: the NCAA record. Kudos to him, but he's literally doing

330
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: it all. And when you look at their pass rush

331
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: last year one hundred and twenty seventh according to Pro

332
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: Football Focus, it's going to be a lot of extra

333
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: time for Leonoris in the pocket looking downfield for Harbor.

334
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: I think that's going to translate to some big plays. Finally,

335
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to say this about South Carolina's defense. They

336
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: were pretty much trash last year, but they still were

337
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: able to bring back key pieces at all three levels.

338
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: He got Tanka Hemingway on the d line, Debo Williams

339
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: at linebacker, and Nick emm and Wara at safety. If

340
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: these guys can play up to their level, I think

341
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: that this is going to be a team that's going

342
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: to flirt with Bowl eligibility, but they're going to outclass

343
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: the bottom of their schedule. They have some very winnable

344
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: games on the schedule. This is one of them, right

345
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: out of the gate Old Dominion as well. Awful in

346
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: pass protection. If you watch their games last year, they

347
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: got a little bit feist year offensively as the season

348
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: went on, but they were one hundred and twenty third

349
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: in Pro Football Focused pass protection and Grant Wilson just

350
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: turned into a statue which is weird because he has

351
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: a little bit of get up and go and he

352
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: can run the football, but when he locked in downfield,

353
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: he was just a scarecrow back there and people were

354
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: tearing him down. So I think when it comes down

355
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: to it, they're going to get after him and it's

356
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: going to cover up some of their warts on defense.

357
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: And finally, if this is a situation where you get

358
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty and a half twenty one twenty one and

359
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: a half, every point matters. The old Dominion special teams

360
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: fell apart of it at the end of last year.

361
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: They had two blocked field goals go against them in

362
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: the bowl game, ended up costing them an opportunity to

363
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: win if they made either one. So I'm going to

364
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: go ahead and fade the Monarchs here a team that stuck.

365
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: He believes was full on fools gold. They won six

366
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: games last year by an average of three point eight

367
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: points per game. That's it for my best bet. I

368
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: know that you would like to have a quick rebuttal

369
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: because a Penn State alum is that coach older midion.

370
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 3: As when I first say I know we did this,

371
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 3: I think our first year and haven't really done it since.

372
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 3: So I want to get back into it now because

373
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 3: we don't tell each other our picks ahead of time,

374
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 3: so we're usually surprised. And you know, if we are

375
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 3: on the opposite sides, it's genuine. So we do need

376
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 3: to establish it that this year we need to get

377
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 3: back into our T shirt bets where anytime we're against

378
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 3: each other, we make a T shirt bet and I

379
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 3: will say I'm not going to do it here, I

380
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 3: may do it later in this SPoD.

381
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 4: Here's what I'm to say.

382
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 3: I agree with you first of all on the number

383
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 3: being key, because I think right now it's like what

384
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 3: twenty and a half. If it got to like twenty

385
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 3: one and a half, I would consider I have it

386
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 3: written down as like a maybe bett, but I haven't

387
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 3: taken it. I think getting three touchdowns is key. The

388
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 3: only thing I'll say under Ricky Ronnie, this team tends

389
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 3: to fight. You mentioned the close wins, close losses, like

390
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 3: they do play hard, and you look at over the

391
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 3: last two years, especially two years ago beat Virginia Tech

392
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 3: and then lost by two to Virginia Last year they

393
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 3: lost to Virginia Tech by nineteen and then lost to

394
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 3: Wake Forest by three. So they do tend to fight

395
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 3: and play hard and kind of stick around. So far,

396
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 3: they they haven't lost by three touchdowns two Power five

397
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 3: team under Ronnie yet, so that aspect, I think they'll

398
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 3: I think the back door will be open this whole game.

399
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 3: If it gets over twenty one and a half, I'll

400
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 3: probably take it. But I'm not going to teach your

401
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 3: bet this on you. But I'm also not in agreement

Speaker 1: five packup games. Go ahead, put it together in a

430
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 1: parlay around Rob and bet him individually however you'd like

431
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: to do it. These are kind of our second class picks.

432
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 1: We have our best bets, then the second choice cut,

433
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: which is the G five High five, and then we

434
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: give you something a little bit spicier at the end

435
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: with the money line underdog parlay. All right, Mike, you're

436
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: doing the heavy lifting this week with three picks, get

437
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: us started for the G five High five.

438
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 3: The G five high five should be high five high five. Yeah.

439
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 3: I have a following this week where my three picks

440
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 3: go Thursday, Friday, Saturday. We'll start with Thursday. Look, you're

441
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 3: fading my boy, Ricky Ronnie. But I hope we're riding

442
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 3: with Ricky Rodriguez together because give me Jacksonville State minus

443
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 3: two and a half against Coast Carolina, we know exactly

444
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,239
Speaker 3: what rich Rod wants to do. Jacksonville State averaged just

445
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 3: under fifty rushing attempts per game, second most in the country.

446
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 3: They run the ball more than Army and Navy. They

447
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 3: averaged two hundred and thirty seven rushing per game. Three

448
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 3: running backs and their quarterback all averaged over fifty yards

449
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 3: on the ground. Malik Jackson's gone. Ron Wiggins is hurt,

450
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 3: so annw ary Lewis. He should be the main guy

451
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 3: this season along with Georgia transfer Andrew Paul Zion Turner

452
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 3: will play sign Webb at quarterback, and I mean they're

453
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 3: just the exact same player, like right down to the name.

454
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 3: Offensive line should be good again All conference guard Klay

455
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 3: Webb is back But the reason I like this matchup

456
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 3: so much is Coastal's biggest weakness is their run defense.

457
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 3: The Shaunts rank one hundred and thirteenth in the country

458
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 3: in rushing success Defensively, last year they allowed over four

459
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 3: point seven yards to kerry opponents had over one hundred

460
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 3: and fifty yards in nine of their thirteen games. And

461
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 3: now they lose their three top tacklers. When you flipped

462
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 3: the offense, obviously they lose Grayson McCall, who was, you know,

463
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 3: one of the greatest G five quarterbacks we've ever seen.

464
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 3: These their top two receivers. They lose two of their

465
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 3: three running backs. And the game Cocks also had very

466
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 3: good run defense that you know. Their offense kind of

467
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 3: got more of the headlines, but their defense was awesome.

468
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 3: They were fourth in the country in success right on defense,

469
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 3: and I expect them to put a lot of pressure

470
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 3: on Ethan Vasco or Nobah Kim. They have not named

471
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 3: the starter yet. I expect it to be Vasco.

472
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 4: I think you do too.

473
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 3: But the way these quarterback ballots are gone, I mean,

474
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 3: who the hell knows, but I think Vasco looked better

475
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 3: in the bowl game. Kim obviously has the power forward

476
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 3: coming from Michigan State, but he hasn't named it yet,

477
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 3: which I don't think is a good sign either way.

478
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 3: I think this Jacksonville State defense is better than Coastals.

479
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 3: I expect the game Cocks offense to just run it

480
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 3: all over this defense. Everyone knows I don't like Tim

481
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 3: Back as a coach, so I will take Jacksonville State

482
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 3: as a short home favorite here against the Shaan de

483
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 3: Clears on Thursday.

484
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,360
Speaker 1: Somebody you're gonna see me a congressional hearing just holding

485
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 1: up a depth chart basically arguing for uniformity in terms

486
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: of depth chart releases and injury information. Is rich Rod

487
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: has listed triple starter as a quarterback. I don't necessarily care.

488
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: It's the weirdest thing when it comes to Jacksonville State.

489
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 1: I kind of trust in all three of these quarterbacks.

490
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: I want it to be Hugh coming in from Furman,

491
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: like what he was able to accomplish as a dual

492
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: threat quarterback. And you know the story that I told

493
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: in the offseason why I love him. You know, he

494
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: was in the Army Reserve and gets recruited on and

495
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: you know, an Armed Forces base. All the trappings of

496
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: that are kind of g five match made and Heaven

497
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: kind of story for me. So I want him to play,

498
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 1: but he's probably gonna play three guys. It's just ridiculous

499
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: that he can't at least tip his hand on two quarterbacks.

500
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm with you on this play. This is

501
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: to me the game where it's the coyote goes off

502
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: the the edge of the cliff and he doesn't know

503
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: that he's run off the cliff yet, and he looks

504
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: around and then he falls. There's that time delay in

505
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: the cartoon that was Coastal.

506
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 4: Last year.

507
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: Grayson played for a bit of the season, they got

508
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: a nice bump at the end of the year. They

509
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: end up playing well on the bowl game as well.

510
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: And I think there's this perception that, hey, Coastal has

511
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: been an eight, nine to ten win team per year

512
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: for the last you know, four or five seasons, that's

513
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: what we should expect from them. I do not expect

514
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: that in the Sunbelt East this year. I think there's

515
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: going to be a big dip in Jacksonville. State is

516
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: going to be able to take advantage of forts run defense.

517
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 3: I will say, you're someone who I know love to

518
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 3: get wild, and this is something I think it was

519
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,239
Speaker 3: Bud Elliott who suggested this especially early on of like

520
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 3: taking a bunch of alt spreads because this is the

521
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 3: season where you don't really know what teams are going

522
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 3: to be and Coastal loss most of Chadwell's players dying

523
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 3: to this year, and I'm on their win total under

524
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 3: I think I think this is a good opportunity with

525
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 3: minus two and a half to maybe take like a

526
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 3: minus nine and a half all spread where if Coastal

527
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 3: defense is worse than we thought, Jacksonville State will run

528
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 3: for five hundred yards and crush them. So I'm obviously

529
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 3: taking the two and a half. But if you're someone

530
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 3: who just you know, you like seeing that juicy fat

531
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 3: plus number, taking a taking a game cocks fault, I

532
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 3: don't hate it in this spot because there's a chance

533
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 3: Coastal is.

534
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: Like really bad our first total of the podcast, I'm

535
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: going over forty nine between UTEP and Nebraska. The stated

536
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 1: goal from UTEP's new head coach, Scottie Walden is that

537
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 1: the Miners want to snap the ball every twelve seconds

538
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: music to my ears, because either they're going to score

539
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: quick or more likely than not, they're gonna give the

540
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,199
Speaker 1: ball right back to Nebraska. Now, go and watch if

541
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: you can. It's like a condensed four minute version of

542
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: the Nebraska spring game. That's not something I would recommend

543
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,360
Speaker 1: to a friend or an enemy in recent year because

544
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 1: their offense has been atrocious. Who wants to watch that.

545
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 1: This spring game was different. Dylan Rayola looks so comfortable

546
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 1: running this offense. Sixteen for twenty two in the spring game,

547
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty nine yards, two scores, and a

548
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: two point conversion. And when you dig into Marcus Sadderfield's system,

549
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: it takes time. Takes time for his offense to click.

550
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: In year one at South Carolina, they were a mess.

551
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty one, they finished one hundred and fourth

552
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: in scoring, and a big part of that is he

553
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: had to play with three quarterbacks that year and none

554
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 1: of them could play. Year two, he gets Spencer Ratler.

555
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: They make a huge jump. They're in the top forty

556
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 1: in scoring. They're averaging over thirty two points per game.

557
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: The same thing is going to play out here in Lincoln.

558
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: In my opinion, Nebraska was a mess last year because

559
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: they had no quarterback. They finished ahead of just Army

560
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 1: in Iowa in Pro football focused passing grade. That's the

561
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 1: depth that they plunged to last year. The Cornhuskers have

562
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: been dying for a quarterback with the pulse. He's a

563
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 1: five star kid. He clearly wants to be the face

564
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,479
Speaker 1: of the program. He's dressing and looking and you know,

565
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: throwing the ball like Patrick Mahomes. That's great. I watched

566
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: the game. He played really well. He's not on Homes level,

567
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: but he's trying to emulate him. People try to emulate

568
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. They try to have hand signals like Drew Brees.

569
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: It just comes with the territory. I think people try

570
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: to make it out to be a negative story. I

571
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 1: think this kid's the real deal. He also has some

572
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: real deal wide receivers on the perimeter. Jamal Banks comes

573
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: in from Wake after catching over one hundred career balls

574
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 1: and thirteen touchdowns. He had twenty three contested catches over

575
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: the past two seasons, which is tied for fifth among

576
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: Power five wide receivers. Isaiah Naylor, who we really loved

577
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: at Wyoming, unfortunately got hurt at Texas. But at Wyoming

578
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 1: two years ago he had eleven touchdowns and a big

579
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: reason for it is he's also huge. He's at six

580
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,239
Speaker 1: to four. The Nebraska offensive line is where I'm going

581
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: to call into question their ceiling, But that comes down

582
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: the road in Big Ten play. Are they going to

583
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: be a six win team or a nine win team?

584
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: I think it'll come down to all gelling up front.

585
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,959
Speaker 1: But against UTEP, a defense that is replacing just about everybody,

586
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: the use of defenses of old are gone. This defense

587
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: couldn't stop the run at all last year. They were

588
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: uncharacteristically unsound and tackling one hundred and thirteenth in tackling.

589
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 1: Nebraska has been waiting for this, Their fans have been

590
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: waiting for this. They have been the butt of the

591
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: joke for years. They have not made it to a

592
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: bowl game in but seven years. The streak is incredible.

593
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: What they're on right now. They're gonna give the hometown

594
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: crowd a big show here. I think they get close

595
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: to the forty nine on their own. So really I'm

596
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: just asking for ten or fourteen out of UTIP. And

597
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,479
Speaker 1: because they're gonna go fast and they're going to run

598
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: a new system and there's no tape on them, I

599
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: think there's an opportunity to get some misdirection big plays,

600
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 1: get some chunk plays, and potentially put some points on

601
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: the board. So I'm going over forty nine for my

602
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: first total bet of the season. Yeah.

603
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 3: I didn't have many thoughts in this game, but you

604
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 3: convinced me, so I will absolutely be riding and taking

605
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 3: this with you as well. For my next pick, I'm

606
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 3: gonna go Friday and I'm gonna take Western Michigan plus

607
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 3: twenty four and a half against Wisconsin. Western Michigan returns

608
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 3: a ton of production on both sides of the ball,

609
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 3: especially on offense with eight starters. Back quarterback Hayden Wolf returns.

610
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 3: You know we are a wolf Pack podcast.

611
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 2: Wolf in the shot Gun and he's got him asking

612
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 2: you shall receive my friends from Hayden Wolf on.

613
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 3: The Bang on the wolf Bag. They also bring back

614
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 3: thousand yard rusher Jalen Buckley. They bring back leading receiver

615
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 3: Kenneth Wollmack and oh, Anthony Sambucci. You got Tony Sambucci

616
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 3: back in the offense. Uh. They had a couple of

617
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,479
Speaker 3: decent pieces from the Porto at receiver and tight end

618
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 3: as well. Senator Jacob Gideon anchors what should be a

619
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 3: really strong offensive line and you know the defense, they

620
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 3: do lose a few spots but they bring in pop

621
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 3: By Williams for Louisville, who should replace Marshall, will help

622
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 3: try to replace Marshawn Niland, and Corey Walker returns on

623
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 3: the other side. Uh Tate Halleck and Aaron Wolford both

624
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 3: returned in the secondary and they were first sacon on

625
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 3: the team and tackle. So I like what the Broncos

626
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 3: brought back in the secondary. And you know, Wisconsin, just

627
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 3: Wisconsin has a few questions, mainly the Tyler van Dyke

628
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 3: any good because after throwing twenty five touchdowns with six

629
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 3: interceptions in twenty twenty one, he has twenty nine touchdowns

630
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 3: and seventeen picks over the last two seasons, which TVD.

631
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 4: Are we going to get here? They also don't have

632
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 4: Raylan Allen anymore. He's gone.

633
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, the rest of the offense is back, but it

634
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 3: just comes down to how good is Van Dyke going

635
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 3: to be? Defensively, Badgers should be fine, although they really

636
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 3: have just two of their returning starters in the front seven,

637
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 3: so maybe it takes a game or two to get going.

638
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 3: But secondary should be good. But I'm not putting the

639
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 3: Badgers on upset alert by any means. But this is

640
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 3: a Luke Fickle coach team, and Luke Fickle doesn't blow

641
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 3: teams out. So we're getting twenty four and a half

642
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 3: points here, and Luke Fickle has not.

643
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 4: They didn't beat a single team by.

644
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 3: More than twenty one point, by more than twenty one

645
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 3: points last year, and they opened the season against.

646
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 4: Buffalo, who was horrific, only beat him by twenty one.

647
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 4: Bulls were terrible. They won just three games.

648
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 3: And you look even going back to the Cincinnati days,

649
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 3: when let's be honest, they needed.

650
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 4: Two crush teams they were trying.

651
00:29:58,160 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 3: It used to drive me nuts that Luke Fickle would

652
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 3: he could ask after every game do you think this

653
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 3: is a championship or a playoff worthy team? And I

654
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 3: thought he did his team such a disservice that he

655
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 3: never said yes. He said, it's not my decision. We

656
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 3: just have to play our game. He never campaigned for Cincinnati,

657
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 3: and I honest to think it cost them their first season.

658
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 4: Kno getting in.

659
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 3: He never made that argument, and he never ran up

660
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 3: the score and made statements. Luke Fickle's teams are just

661
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 3: six and twelve against the spread when favorites of twenty

662
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 3: two or more. They have not covered in seven straight

663
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 3: games as a three touchdown or more favorite. So give

664
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 3: me Western Michigan plus twenty four and a half. I

665
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 3: don't think it changes. Luke Figgle is not going to

666
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 3: run this up. And I like this Western Michigan team,

667
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 3: so I'll back them.

668
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was confused by this line, to be totally honest,

669
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: I felt like this was a copy and paste by

670
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: the sportsbooks, you know, probably from the Monty Ball Melvin

671
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: Gordon era Wisconsin, where it's like the defense is going

672
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: to be top fifteen in the country. They're just going

673
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: to beat them to death on the grounds and then

674
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: they'll probably or you know, two or three runaway touchdowns

675
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: late and maybe cover a number. This Wisconsin defense is

676
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: not what we signed up for. You know. When Fickle

677
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: came in, the argument was he knows defense, he will

678
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: coach up the defense. The great Wisconsin defensive tradition will continue,

679
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: and it'll take time for long Ago to get the

680
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: offense going. The defense was not there last year, and

681
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: against a Western team that I think is going to

682
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: be a bowl team out of the MAC this is

683
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: a lot of points. So I'm with you here, and

684
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: I love that you brought up the historical data in

685
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: terms of Fickle trying to cover big numbers, it's just

686
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: not something he cares about. And if he didn't care

687
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: about it in the four team playoff era, he certainly

688
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: doesn't care about in the twelve team playoff era. So

689
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: I think that's these are really solid points, all right.

690
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: I'm going to go back to the well with another

691
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: total here, and it's something we may end up breaking

692
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: the seal on a few times in the month of

693
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: September because the G five games just aren't all that enticing.

694
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: So I'm going to allow myself to pick an FCS

695
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: versus FBS team. There's no G five team included. Hell,

696
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: we give you co on G five status out of

697
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: the independent ranks. We do it all the time. So

698
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: we were making our own rules here.

699
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 3: And I think, hey, we got to enjoy them before

700
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 3: they're in the big twelve exactly.

701
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: And on top of everything else, I have to go

702
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: ahead and assume that people are going to be interested

703
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: in a game that includes Deon Sanders. So I'm going

704
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: to go under fifty nine North Dakota State against Colorado.

705
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: And here's the rational. It's pretty simple. Last season, the

706
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: first six weeks of the year Colorado was electric offensively.

707
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: They're putting up points, they're running a ton of plays.

708
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: They averaged seventy five offensive snaps per game with Sean

709
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: Lewis calling the plays that made them a top fifteen

710
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: team in terms of tempo. That's what people have in

711
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: their mind when they close their eyes and they're looking

712
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: forward to this game on Thursday. They're saying, Travis Hunter's

713
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: going to hit big plays, Lejonta Wester, Shador Sanders, this

714
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: offense is going to go up and down the field,

715
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: and there's going to be a ton of points. But

716
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: here's the thing. In early November, when coach Prime said

717
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: my son's getting killed. My defense is just too thin.

718
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: We can't leave him on the field for that many possessions,

719
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: he swaps in past Schumer as a ZOC and says,

720
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: slow things way down, let's huddle up, let's strain the playclock.

721
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: Let's try to play a little bit of keep away

722
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: strategically when we can to help my son, to help

723
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: the defense. So what does he do. He shaves off

724
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: seventeen plays per game. So from that seventy five offensive

725
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: snaps per game, takes seventeen of those away it's a

726
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: totally different animal. And now you have North Dakota State

727
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: coming in. I know they have a new head coach,

728
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: but we all know, even casuals know North Dakota State

729
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: wants to pound the rock. They want to control the

730
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: football and control the game and win with their defense.

731
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: There were six in FCS time of possession last year,

732
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: and they have a deep backfield. Again, they have some

733
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: new pieces on the offensive line, but they're still going

734
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: to be strong, and they have a poor man's Taysom

735
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: Hill and Cole Payton as a quarterback. You can come

736
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: in and run wildcat run those direct snap dive kind

737
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: of plays to keep the chains moving. Final stat here,

738
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: and this is what ended up pushing me over the

739
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: edge and saying, I got to take under in a

740
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: game that this number keeps ticking up. By the way,

741
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: I think you may be able to get it under

742
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: sixty and a half. Colorado's third down defense last year horrific,

743
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty fifth in the FBS. North Dakota

744
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: State's third down conversions third in the FCS. I foresee

745
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 1: some double digit play drives for the Bison, and they're

746
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: going to make this a difficult one. On the Buffalo's

747
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 1: and I'm going to go under the sixty and a half.

748
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't.

749
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 3: I don't hate it at all, and nothing else. It's

750
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 3: it's good for SEO, Dean Sanders, Dean Sanders, Deon Sanders.

751
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 4: So yeah, I like.

752
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 3: I like how we're bringing the fcs into the G

753
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 3: five family, especially early on.

754
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 4: I like it.

755
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 3: Uh. For my last pick full disclosure, I called an

756
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 3: audible about an hour before the show.

757
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 4: When I wrote.

758
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 3: This up last night, I was going with the James

759
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 3: Madison Charlotte under fifty one and a half.

760
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 4: That's what I wrote up.

761
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 3: I still kind of like it for those out there,

762
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 3: but if you didn't see the news, Biff Bogi FIfF

763
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 3: Pog came out at his press conference today and said

764
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 3: he just ran them through military training.

765
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: At he didn't just lose his sleep with half of

766
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: his team.

767
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 3: He looked like he just came out of a fox

768
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 3: hole and from war and apparently they lost a lot

769
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 3: of good men and fall camp. Fifty percent his starters

770
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 3: are out now. He didn't name them, so I don't

771
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 3: know who it is. I don't know if it's their

772
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 3: you know, linebacker or their quarterback. So that makes taking

773
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 3: it under here a little uneasy. It has dropped a

774
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 3: few points, which kind of doesn't make me feel I

775
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 3: mean that it's probably an offensive guy, but I also

776
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 3: now the number is not as good, so I just

777
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 3: there's too much uncertainty with that, so I just am

778
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 3: staying away. I'm pivoting, gonna back my boys. Give me

779
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,240
Speaker 3: Wyoming plus six and a half against Arizona State. Look, obviously,

780
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 3: if you listen to all our preseason pods, you know

781
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 3: how high I am on Wyoming. Here they returned nearly

782
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 3: all of their starters, especially eight on defense, and I'm

783
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 3: really excited to see what Evans Faboda can.

784
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 4: Do at quarterback.

785
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 3: Six', five rocket, arm built Like Josh, allen wearing number.

786
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 3: Seventeen he's a good runner as. Well he's goes legs

787
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 3: and that's important that he's mobile because running Back harris

788
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 3: And whaley's going to miss the start of the, season

789
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 3: which does. Suck But wyoming has a deep running back.

790
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 3: ROOM Dj jones is a transfer From North. Carolina he

791
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 3: has a really cool. Story he was a running back

792
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 3: there for three years before actually switching to cornerback last

793
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 3: season for the Tar. Heels he played in every game

794
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 3: he made two starts in The Tar hills, secondary he

795
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 3: made like seventeen. Tackles when he was running, back he

796
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 3: averaged four point six sharts to, carry so he also

797
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 3: showed to be a pretty good pass catching back when

798
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 3: he was, There SO i do like that aspect he.

799
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 3: Brings they also Have Sam scott And Jamari, ferrell who

800
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 3: were the backups To whale last. Year they each got

801
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 3: fifty carries Because wayley was you, know battling injuries last.

802
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 4: Year so they are experienced.

803
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 3: Guys whoever's running the ball is going to be running

804
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 3: behind four returning offensive, starters which should be a good old.

805
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 3: Line and they're facing An Arizona state defense that frankly

806
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 3: was terrible last year and they returned just three starters

807
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 3: for The Sun, Devils and you, know you look At

808
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 3: Arizona state and you read the previous and, stuff and

809
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 3: it seems like this team they're most optimistic about their defensive,

810
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,959
Speaker 3: front their pass, rush they, have you, know a good pass,

811
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 3: rush but good luck to Bring intibota to the. Ground

812
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 3: and then on, offense the Sun devils bring back Camp,

813
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,359
Speaker 3: scattabo who is a pretty good running. Back But i'm

814
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 3: not scared Of Sam levitt at. All he had three

815
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 3: turnover worthy throws on just twenty three attempts last season

816
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,720
Speaker 3: For Michigan, state and we saw what their quarterback situation

817
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 3: was and you really didn't get much.

818
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 4: Burned SO i don't think he's not fight to.

819
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 3: Him and you, KNOW i Think wyoming will just kind

820
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 3: of keep the same identity that they had Under Craig

821
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 3: bull for all those. Years and this is a team

822
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:27,280
Speaker 3: that is they were thirteen and eight against the spread

823
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,919
Speaker 3: as an underdog in the last four, years thirty two

824
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,399
Speaker 3: and twenty three as an underdog in the last nine,

825
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 3: Years so you, know six and a half by, like

826
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 3: first of, all, yes most of those came at.

827
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 4: HOME i get. That if this was In.

828
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 3: Laramie this is my money line underdog. Hammer they're winning

829
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 3: the game outright the. Road, yeah, yeah on the. Road

830
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 3: i'll take the six and a. Half obviously you can get,

831
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 3: seven that would be. Great BUT i think this is

832
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:57,879
Speaker 3: an above average group of five team against a really

833
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 3: bad power four. Team Our action now Work Power Ratings

834

882
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:07,439
Speaker 3: in alabama Major.

883
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 4: Apple white he was Fine.

884
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 3: AT houston, i think but he hasn't been a head

885
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 3: coach in, six years, AND sure i think having the

886
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 3: continuity helped the floor from completely. Dropping out But the

887
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 3: jaguars lose, their quarterback the, running back the, leading receiver

888
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 3: and you talked, about it especially in. The Preseason geo

889
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 3: lopez was horrible in the. Spring game what did you

890
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 3: say his?

891
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 4: STATS were i think he.

892
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 1: WAS over i believe he did not complete a. Single

893
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 1: pass and it was weird because the bowl game he

894
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 1: bawled Out The eastern michigan just rolled over in the

895
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 1: Sixty Eight. Ventures bowl, BUT yeah i agree. WITH you,

896
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 1: i mean just a backpedal for. A Moment major applewhite

897
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: got Canned from houston because he walked into a good

898
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: situation and then couldn't win more than seven or eight

899
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 1: games when it was a program that was just rolling

900
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 1: out double digit wins and competing at least for a

901
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: chance to Make The New Year six bowl out OF.

902
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: The AAC so i think he is an. INTERESTING hire

903
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: i think there's a re and why his career has

904
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: kind of been stuck in the mud a, little bit

905
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 1: you would think given his head coaching experience and not

906
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: totally crapping the Bed at houston and what he's done

907
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 1: as an offensive coordinator would have got him a. Better opportunity,

908
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 1: But yeah i'm not high On the jags. This year

909
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: this is an, INTERESTING play i will Say In, NORTH

910
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 1: texas i, Think offensively i'm a little bit worried at

911
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 1: quarterback talking me.

912
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 3: Through, that well so, you Know Fors alcane wllmack known for,

913
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 3: his defense and Now the jaguars defense has lost most

914
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 3: of their. TOP talent i still like their, defensive front

915
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 3: but there's just there's still some questions about. This Defense

916
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 3: north texas enters their second Season Under. Eric morris they

917
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 3: were five and seven, last year but they played a very.

918
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 3: Difficult schedule you look at, YOU know i think they

919
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 3: had a bad Loss, in navy but then their losses

920
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 3: mainly WERE Like SMU memphis utsa two and they.

921
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 4: Lost To The.

922
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 3: Big Bogs chandler morris takes over at quarterback at the TRANSFERRING.

923
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 3: From tcu, twelve touchdowns five picks in. Six starts he's able.

924
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 4: To move a.

925
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 3: Little bit he's, sneaky mobile more mobile than. You'd think

926
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 3: obviously He's Not. Jalen rodgers but, you know they finally

927
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 3: lose their foreheaded running, back Monster but rags. Still there

928
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,240
Speaker 3: he should be the. MAIN guy i think the defense

929
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:04,799
Speaker 3: will be a little bit better because, now it's, you

930
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 3: know the second season after his, scheme change running this

931
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:10,399
Speaker 3: three three. Five, defense also they were just terrible, last

932
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 3: year so like they can really only.

933
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 4: Get better and you mentioned the.

934
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,919
Speaker 3: QUARTERBACK questions i still think there's a very strong Chance

935
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,320
Speaker 3: To mean green have the best quarterback in. This GAME

936
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 3: so i just think there's more Uncertainty With. South alabama

937
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 3: so plus One seventy I'll Take north. TEXAS here i

938
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 3: think this beings probably closer To. A pickham i think

939
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 3: five and. A half i'll take the money line with

940
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 3: With The.

941
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: Mean green, ALL right i am reeling it way back

942
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: in as far back IN as i can go for a.

943
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: True underdog plus one OH five Unlv. Over houston We

944
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: Know willie fritz. Very well he's been a great COACH

945
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: in g five lambs. Full stop i'm not gonna say

946
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 1: anything bad about, the guy but he is not necessarily

947
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 1: an overnight. Miracle worker he built up blind at the.

948
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: Juco level, you know shout Out To cam newton win

949
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 1: a national Title There central missouri IN the d. Two

950
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 1: ranks he, built up took a little bit. Of Time

951
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: sam houston. SOMETHING similar i think they went six and

952
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:05,919
Speaker 1: five in year one before it was a launching pad

953
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 1: GETTING to fcs Title Games. Georgia southern he did it.

954
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 1: Pretty quickly he went eight to zero in his first

955
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: year In The. Sun belt But, at tulane we know

956
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:16,800
Speaker 1: how long. It took it took multiple, coordinator switches, positional

957
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 1: switches kind of learning how to play the transfer portal a.

958
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 1: Little bit it took time for him to get things.

959
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 1: Absolutely cooking and now he walks into this Situation. At,

960
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 1: houston yes he returns, his quarterback but he wants to run.

961
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 1: The ball that's a big part of. His, identity offensively

962
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 1: they use. Option elements there's going to be four new

963
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,879
Speaker 1: starters in Front Of donovan smith on this offensive Line.

964
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: FOR houston i think that's. Very concerning and Speaking, of

965
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 1: smith he didn't, Even practice he didn't do much of

966
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: anything in the spring because he was recovering from a

967
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 1: torn labor and he. Had. Surgery there they lose their

968
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: top wide Receivers In matthew Golden to Texas And sam

969
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,320
Speaker 1: brown To The, miami hurricanes so that's a huge talent

970
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: drain on the perimeter. And defensively EVEN though i Love,

971
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: shield wood he is a. Rising star he killed It,

972
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 1: at troy Killed. AT tulane i think he's going to

973
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 1: be a head coach in. Short order he's breaking in

974
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: nine new starters to his three to three to. Five

975
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: defense so there's GONNA be, i think continuity questions and

976
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 1: a bit of a. Learning curve and HERE comes unlv

977
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: and here comes, My Man. Matthew sluca they have not

978
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: named him the starting quarterback yet as, of recording they've

979
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 1: not released the updated. Depth CHART but i think that's

980
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,760
Speaker 1: just gamesmanship because when you listen to the, beat Writers

981
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:24,319
Speaker 1: Specifically mike grimala Of The Las, vegas sun he's been

982
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:27,280
Speaker 1: taking all of the first team snaps in the past

983
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: two weeks of. Fall, camp now if you watched him,

984
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:33,320
Speaker 1: at all or listen during, THE preseason i was gushing

985
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 1: about this guy because he is. A dog when he

986
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:38,720
Speaker 1: runs and gets to the. Second level you see this very,

987
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 1: you know very rarely when it comes to dual. Threat

988
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,879
Speaker 1: quarterbacks he is hunting. Defensive backs IN that bc game

989
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: they nearly Upset the Eagles In Chestnut Hill holy cross,

990
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 1: last year he was just running over nickelbacks and corners

991
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: and safeties and firing the crowd up and throwing his

992
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 1: arms in the air and First out like this guy

993
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 1: is kind of, a MANIAC and i think he's the

994
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 1: perfect fit for this go. Go Offense brendan marion has

995
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 1: the pieces on. The Perimeter ricky white Is An. All

996
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,919
Speaker 1: American jaye thomas was A Freshman all american. Running back

997
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 1: when you Add in sluca someone that you have to

998
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 1: account for in the, run game all of, a sudden

999
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 1: the math starts working. For you get an extra hat on.

1000
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: A hat you can get some double teams in the.

1001
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: RUN game I think unlv is going to be able

1002
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 1: to move. The football and also even though it's a new,

1003
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 1: starting quarterback you have THE, same oc you have the

1004
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 1: same skill, position players and you have, a, massive massive offensive.

1005
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 1: Live Line tiger shanks is on every preseason watch list

1006
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 1: you can be on for the. Offensive line and as,

1007
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 1: a unit they weigh three hundred and fifteen pounds. On average,

1008
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 1: four seniors. One junior sluca he Went From walter payton finalist.

1009
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:41,280
Speaker 1: LAST year i think it's going to be a breakout

1010
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 1: star for the running. Reps Here so i'm going to

1011
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 1: take them on the. Money line and then finally the

1012
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,439
Speaker 1: question about. Their defense can they? Be better i'm hoping

1013
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: they can be better because they bring back seven starters

1014
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: and They Added jalen Catalan from Texas And tony Grimes

1015
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:55,879
Speaker 1: FROM texas a and m A Former. Blue chipper they

1016
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: move both of them into their starting. SAFETY positions i

1017
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 1: think that gives them a high ceiling at safety the

1018
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 1: back ends of, their defense and hopefully that can patch

1019
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: up some of the issues they had with giving up

1020
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: big plays. Last year one, tiny concern very Small. Jose

1021
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,919
Speaker 1: pisano what a. Clutch kicker last year he. Has gone

1022
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 1: they were relying on a, Freshman Quarterback. Kayden chittenden the

1023
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 1: good news is he's got a. Big leg he was

1024
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:20,760
Speaker 1: sought after and, you know recruiting out of high school

1025
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 1: when eighteen for twenty two last year in the high

1026
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 1: school ranks bombing in a kick from fifty. SEVEN yards

1027
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:26,920
