<v Speaker 1>I'm a man, I'm forty.

0:00:08.280 --> 0:00:10.160
<v Speaker 2>I've heard so many players say, well, I want to

0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:13.000
<v Speaker 2>be happy. You want to be happy for dake Edo State?

0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:20.400
<v Speaker 1>Is that? Whoo whoo time? Welcome back to the solid

0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:25.840

0:00:26.280 --> 0:00:28.120
<v Speaker 1>my first mate. This is so weird.

0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:29.640
<v Speaker 2>I'll roll into it.

0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Lieutenant Dan Rubinstein. Welcome aboard the two's cruise here where

0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:35.639
<v Speaker 1>we talk more college football.

0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:36.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh.

0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:38.599
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why I got a little Baker Mayfield

0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:41.199
<v Speaker 1>Hi and the register there, but welcome one, Welcome all.

0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:44.800
<v Speaker 1>It is Tuesday morning, Dan and I are back with

0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:48.560
<v Speaker 1>you once more to talk through what it all means. Really, yeah,

0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:51.919
<v Speaker 1>we're getting existential with it. Let's say it now. You're

0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:54.360
<v Speaker 1>good talking more college football, sir?

0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:56.920
<v Speaker 2>How are you? I'm great? I say we take our

0:00:57.280 --> 0:01:03.120
<v Speaker 2>two's cruise cues from Marty Smith and commit to the

0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:06.800
<v Speaker 2>dang bit tie, just fully commit to it. Fully commit.

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:09.160
<v Speaker 2>We've got three exercises, so what we like to do

0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:11.119
<v Speaker 2>on the Tues Cruise. It's called the Tues Cruise one

0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 2>because it's on Tuesdays. I mean it's released on Tuesdays

0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:15.800
<v Speaker 2>and we're cruising around the sport. We don't really have

0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:18.720
<v Speaker 2>time to do that when we recap shows Sunday morning,

0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:21.319
<v Speaker 2>when we preview shows middle of the late in the week, whatever.

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:24.920
<v Speaker 2>So the early in the week cruise is how do

0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:27.240
<v Speaker 2>we feel about this? Is this a thing? Is this

0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:31.200
<v Speaker 2>situation done though? Is this player everything? Is this situation

0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:35.160
<v Speaker 2>really gaining steam? We have a list of teams, players,

0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:37.880
<v Speaker 2>situations that we're going to run through and figure out

0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 2>how we feel because again we just don't have time.

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 2>So three exercises today coming up shortly here tie what

0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:47.600
<v Speaker 2>do the people need to know before we do so?

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:50.840

<v Speaker 1>as such that you know it still helps. It still

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:05.320
<v Speaker 1>helps when you hit a subscription for us. I was

0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:08.359
<v Speaker 1>actually looking because you mentioned that it's soliverble dot reddit

0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:11.639
<v Speaker 1>dot com. Yeah, I was watching the US Open and

0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Serena Williams is married to Alexis Ohanian, who I think

0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:17.320
<v Speaker 1>I met very briefly because he did work at a

0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 1>company I used to work at. But I was trying

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:20.959
<v Speaker 1>to figure out what he was saying. I was trying

0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:24.720
<v Speaker 1>to read his lips from sitting in Serena's friends and

0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:28.160
<v Speaker 1>family box the US Open and from what I could tell,

0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:33.920
<v Speaker 1>he kept mouthing to her soliverbal Yeah, yeah, that's what

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:34.440
<v Speaker 1>they did.

0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 2>So it makes all sense.

0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Well, on today's show, we've got a bunch of exciting

0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:43.440
<v Speaker 1>stuff the way we've kind of broken down this Tues

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:47.240
<v Speaker 1>cruise on this particular college football Tuesday discussion.

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:47.680
<v Speaker 2>M hmm.

0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:52.280
<v Speaker 1>You remember those like old Maden mini games that you'd have,

0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.720
<v Speaker 1>like you could build your player up by breaking up

0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.520
<v Speaker 1>passes or throwing a ball through a hoop or kicking field.

0:03:57.520 --> 0:03:59.680
<v Speaker 2>You remember that. Yeah, of course you could practice your

0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:03.600
<v Speaker 2>safe closing in on tackles by running through bowling pins.

0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:04.880
<v Speaker 2>They had a bunch of different stuff.

0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:10.160
<v Speaker 1>We've got something similar planned for today. We've got three

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:13.440
<v Speaker 1>little mini games here. We've put these together. We've got

0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:17.919
<v Speaker 1>one here labeled chapter one or a short story, another

0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:21.160
<v Speaker 1>one labeled pumped the Brakes, and then of course an

0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:23.920
<v Speaker 1>old favorite done or not done so to which it

0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:27.680
<v Speaker 1>goes without any further introduction. But what is this one

0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.120
<v Speaker 1>here that we're starting with mean chapter one or a

0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:30.960
<v Speaker 1>short story?

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:35.280
<v Speaker 2>So we've got five items here for notable teams that

0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:38.560
<v Speaker 2>have a very specific issue that they've shown early on

0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:41.760
<v Speaker 2>in the season. Now it is for us to decide

0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:44.800
<v Speaker 2>was this a blip? Is this something that's going to

0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.280
<v Speaker 2>be fixed? So it's just a little short story, a

0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:50.360
<v Speaker 2>self contained situation that happened in week one, Week two,

0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:52.440
<v Speaker 2>maybe week three, but by the time we get to

0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:57.000
<v Speaker 2>October November long gone? Or is it chapter one in

0:04:57.080 --> 0:05:01.919
<v Speaker 2>a long novella of novella a novella holy which is

0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.159
<v Speaker 2>also I believe, a short book. But is it a

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:07.479
<v Speaker 2>long Is it the first chapter in a story that

0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 2>has many chapters of a very specific issue? Okay, all right,

0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:16.000
<v Speaker 2>we'll start here. Yeah, we were texting about this on Saturday.

0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:20.920
<v Speaker 2>Penn State's rushing issues. They had trouble running the ball.

0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:23.280
<v Speaker 2>They go down ten to seven at the half to Buffalo.

0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:27.200
<v Speaker 2>Miles Sanders was pretty good last season two years, of course,

0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:30.240
<v Speaker 2>and three years of course, you have Saquon Barkley just

0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:35.680
<v Speaker 2>excellent at Heisman caliber. But right now, early on, especially

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:39.320
<v Speaker 2>considering who they've played, Buffalo and I believe Idaho have

0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:42.880
<v Speaker 2>not been killer on the ground. Do you think this

0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:46.359
<v Speaker 2>is a short story done with or is it the

0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:49.200
<v Speaker 2>first chapter on a season long struggle on the ground?

0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, look, you're right to ask it. We mentioned it

0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:55.800
<v Speaker 1>on the Sunday Show you mentioned we were texting about it.

0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.560
<v Speaker 1>The rushing game has not been all that impressive thus far.

0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:05.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm not reading too deeply into it, not at this juncture. Anyway.

0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Penn State's been blessed last couple seasons. They had Saquon Barkley.

0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:13.159
<v Speaker 1>They had Miles Sanders, both of whom now are officially

0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:15.720
<v Speaker 1>starting running backs in the NFL. So both really good.

0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:16.760
<v Speaker 2>Miles Sanders starting.

0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:20.279
<v Speaker 1>Miles Sanders got to start for the Eagles yet, oh great, cool,

0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:23.000
<v Speaker 1>So it seems fair to give him a little bit

0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:25.599
<v Speaker 1>of slack to figure it out now that both those

0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:28.800
<v Speaker 1>guys are gone. Also, you were right to point out

0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:32.920
<v Speaker 1>Penn State's played Idaho and Buffalo so far. I think

0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Pitt's defense is going to offer a stiffer test than

0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:39.680
<v Speaker 1>we saw in each of the last two weeks, so

0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:43.159
<v Speaker 1>I want to give myself the opportunity to reassess. Penn

0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 1>State also has Maryland at the end of September, which

0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:48.680
<v Speaker 1>is really the probably the best time to reassess, given

0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:51.640
<v Speaker 1>the way that Maryland's been playing for now, I am

0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:55.040
<v Speaker 1>inclined to say short story, not part of a longer novella.

0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:59.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to say it's chapter one, and I know

0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.040
<v Speaker 2>there's talent back there that you know, Ricky Slade and

0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:06.839
<v Speaker 2>Journey Brown has been very good. But Pitt's run defense,

0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Pitt's front has been fine. Maryland's pretty good, you know,

0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:14.000
<v Speaker 2>not a huge, huge schedule for Maryland yet. Purdue has

0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.760
<v Speaker 2>been okay, but Nevada just mostly throws the ball in

0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:19.680
<v Speaker 2>that loss. Ioways very strong up front, Michigan's very strong

0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:22.680
<v Speaker 2>up front, Michigan State strong upfront. Minnesota has been fine,

0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:27.240
<v Speaker 2>Ohio State looks improved, Indiana looks okay. I'm worried that

0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:29.600
<v Speaker 2>this is a bad year to have a so so

0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:32.920
<v Speaker 2>rushing attack. So I'm going to say there are going

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.560
<v Speaker 2>to be weeks, there are going to be losses that

0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:38.400
<v Speaker 2>we can point to. An inability to control the ball

0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:40.760
<v Speaker 2>on the ground for Penn State being a big chunk

0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:45.000
<v Speaker 2>of it, because that seems so important with a completely

0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:48.840
<v Speaker 2>inexperienced quarterback promising in Sean Clifford, but inexperience, I'm gona.

0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Say chapter one, I disagree. Let's move on, yep, let's

0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:55.840
<v Speaker 1>move on. Let's stick on the offensive side of the ball. Yeah,

0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:58.320
<v Speaker 1>and let's zoom out a little bit, not just rushing issues.

0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.680
<v Speaker 1>Although rushing issues are a big deal, we've got here

0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Auburn offensive issues.

0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:04.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:08.720
<v Speaker 1>So this has been a theme to some degree with

0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.040
<v Speaker 1>the Auburn Tigers. It's part of the reason why Gus

0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Melson is perpetually on the hot seat. Dan, is what

0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:20.520
<v Speaker 1>we've seen from Auburn offensively chapter one or in this case,

0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:23.040
<v Speaker 1>maybe like chapter eight, because it's not just been the

0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:25.640
<v Speaker 1>first time we've seen it, right, or is it a

0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:27.320
<v Speaker 1>short story and a blip on the radar.

0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:32.040
<v Speaker 2>I've got chapter one, I've got another Chapter one. I

0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:35.360
<v Speaker 2>have Auburn having issues blocking inside, and I understand both

0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:38.240
<v Speaker 2>of the defenses they've played have been strong upfront, but

0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:40.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm not crazy about the fact that teams can stack

0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.280
<v Speaker 2>the box against Bonick. So I think is pretty good

0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:45.600
<v Speaker 2>and or will be pretty good. He's got to beat

0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:48.760
<v Speaker 2>up receiving corps. I don't love this line. I'm gonna

0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:51.320
<v Speaker 2>say Auburn's going to be fine this season, but they're

0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:53.480
<v Speaker 2>gonna have offensive issues. Yeah.

0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:57.079
<v Speaker 1>Auburn is one hundred and tenth in yards per play

0:08:57.360 --> 0:09:01.559
<v Speaker 1>through games against Oregon and Tulane, and their numbers actually

0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:02.760
<v Speaker 1>got worse after Tulane.

0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:07.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Tulane's front is legit like that. It's not anything

0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:10.440
<v Speaker 2>to look at, you know, as a team that's below

0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:15.600
<v Speaker 2>them defensively. But I think it's going to be with

0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.000
<v Speaker 2>what they have in front of them. If they're winning

0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.160
<v Speaker 2>big games, I think it's going to be because of

0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:20.679
<v Speaker 2>the defense.

0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:23.839
<v Speaker 1>What worries me, or why I should say why I'm

0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:28.160
<v Speaker 1>worried about this is first off seventieth last year in

0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:33.760
<v Speaker 1>yards per play gained and seventy fourth in yards per carry. Yeah,

0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:35.920
<v Speaker 1>we said all off season that they needed to figure

0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:39.880
<v Speaker 1>that out. And then secondly, they can only lean so

0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:43.200
<v Speaker 1>much on bo Nicks. He's a freshman quarterback. I think

0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.960
<v Speaker 1>he's the real deal. I like him a lot, but eventually,

0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:48.480
<v Speaker 1>like all freshmen, he's going to show a stripes. He's

0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:51.640
<v Speaker 1>going to show some youth. And let me throw in

0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:55.120
<v Speaker 1>another qualifier if I could. The schedule gets late early

0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:59.760
<v Speaker 1>at Auburn, it's all fun and games now and against

0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:02.679
<v Speaker 1>can State this coming week, but after that we've got

0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:07.480
<v Speaker 1>what A and M Mississippi State at Florida. This offense

0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:10.079
<v Speaker 1>is going to have to prove itself in very short order.

0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:12.480
<v Speaker 1>They need to get it worked worked out here and

0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:16.840
<v Speaker 1>as you mentioned, beat up wide receiving corps. The running

0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:19.400
<v Speaker 1>game has been a bitten flux freshman quarterback. There are

0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:21.800
<v Speaker 1>reasons to worry. I'm with you, although I don't think

0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:24.000
<v Speaker 1>it is just chapter one. I think it's part of

0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:28.000
<v Speaker 1>a recurring novella. I love that word, thank you very much.

0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:31.440
<v Speaker 1>This is like chapter three after the last two seasons.

0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:33.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and when you look at their schedule too, I

0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:36.040
<v Speaker 2>think Arkansas is going to be a nice relief. But

0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:38.880
<v Speaker 2>even Ole Miss has looked solid on defense. Even they

0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:42.240
<v Speaker 2>might simply be below average by the time they play,

0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:44.520
<v Speaker 2>and that's a week after LSU. So there's body blow

0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:47.240
<v Speaker 2>theory potential. We'll see, we will see. But I'm saying

0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:48.559
<v Speaker 2>chapter one.

0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:50.400
<v Speaker 1>We're going next.

0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:54.640
<v Speaker 2>Let's go to something you're familiar with, Notre Dame and

0:10:54.679 --> 0:11:00.640
<v Speaker 2>their rush defense. Now, they struggled early on against Losall. Yeah,

0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:03.160
<v Speaker 2>we're really taking this to extremes our Louisville voices. But

0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:07.000
<v Speaker 2>do you think that there is something more there? I

0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:10.080
<v Speaker 2>think we're two weeks out of the Georgia game. Although

0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:12.600
<v Speaker 2>after Georgia I'm not sure how many teams can truly

0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:15.720
<v Speaker 2>test them on the ground. But is it a short

0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:18.880
<v Speaker 2>story that Okay, they struggle against Louisville, they have New Mexico,

0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:22.160
<v Speaker 2>They'll be fine, or Chapter one, season long issue stopping

0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:22.559
<v Speaker 2>the run.

0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:27.160
<v Speaker 1>I came into the season assuming that this is going

0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:30.520
<v Speaker 1>to be a problem, that it would be essentially chapter one,

0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:36.000
<v Speaker 1>and in the game we saw against Louisville, I did

0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:39.520
<v Speaker 1>not see much to convince me otherwise. Wow, they did

0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:43.600
<v Speaker 1>get better as that game went on, And I hate

0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:46.200
<v Speaker 1>to judge too much on what we saw in week one,

0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:48.319
<v Speaker 1>but that's really all we have to go on at

0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:51.120
<v Speaker 1>this point. The big test is in two weeks against Georgia,

0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:55.560
<v Speaker 1>and I know another thing we've texted about is what

0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:58.240
<v Speaker 1>I think Georgia's game plan should be against Notre Dame.

0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:00.560
<v Speaker 1>I think they should run it up the mid straight

0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:03.000
<v Speaker 1>at them, and then when they get tired of doing that,

0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:06.240
<v Speaker 1>I think they should do it again and again and again.

0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:12.160
<v Speaker 1>So maybe my mind will change after whatever goes down

0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:13.760
<v Speaker 1>in that Georgia game in two weeks. I don't know,

0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:16.520
<v Speaker 1>but I came into the season with the assumption that

0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:19.240
<v Speaker 1>this was going to be chapter one of a rickety

0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:24.079
<v Speaker 1>rush defense, particularly up the gut, and I don't think

0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:26.680
<v Speaker 1>I have enough data at this point to say anything

0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:28.600
<v Speaker 1>to the contrary. So I'm saying chapter one.

0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:31.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't know after Georgia if I see a team

0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:36.600
<v Speaker 2>on this schedule in which I don't have to I

0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:38.440
<v Speaker 2>don't have to put my register, I don't have to

0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:41.440
<v Speaker 2>raise the register of my voice a little bit when

0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:44.440
<v Speaker 2>wondering if they're good enough to really go at Notre Dame,

0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:52.640
<v Speaker 2>Virginia Bowling Green, USC, Michigan Virginia at tach Duke, Navy, BC, Stanford.

0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.680
<v Speaker 2>I'd like there's nobody. I'm very confident after seeing Michigan's

0:12:55.760 --> 0:13:00.000
<v Speaker 2>new quote unquote offense. I mean USC has talent backed there,

0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:03.600
<v Speaker 2>Michigan is young back there. I don't see an obvious

0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:06.040
<v Speaker 2>team after Georgia that if Notre Dame has that as

0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:07.840
<v Speaker 2>a weakness, can fully take advantage.

0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so you're saying we disagree, short story, disagree, all right.

0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:17.800
<v Speaker 1>Next one, Texas is past defense Dan. Yeah, we saw

0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:21.880
<v Speaker 1>what happened against Joe Burrow and LSU had a bit

0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:24.520
<v Speaker 1>of a field day on or rather big stage. I

0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:29.640
<v Speaker 1>was told that Texas was DBU. Has that changed, Well,

0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Texas told you that, so consider your source. But yeah,

0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's quite there right now. No, I

0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:38.320
<v Speaker 1>think LSU has more of a right to call themselves

0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:41.839
<v Speaker 1>that if that is a thing, LSU is that thing. Yeah,

0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:46.680
<v Speaker 1>this was a concern the Texas pass defense before the season.

0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:49.920
<v Speaker 1>We really like the back back end of the defense,

0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:53.400
<v Speaker 1>but they were playing true sophomore as a corner. Yeah,

0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:55.679
<v Speaker 1>and it just seemed like a tall order, especially in

0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:59.440
<v Speaker 1>the Big Twelve. Now, through two games, Texas is one

0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:03.520
<v Speaker 1>hundred and twenty seventh in the nation in yards per

0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:08.240
<v Speaker 1>game one and thirteenth in yards per attempt. Those are

0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:13.480
<v Speaker 1>both passing statistics, mind you, So it it makes sense

0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:16.120
<v Speaker 1>that we'd be talking about this year. I take a

0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:21.440
<v Speaker 1>look at their remaining schedule. I say chapter one because Oklahoma,

0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:27.520
<v Speaker 1>Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, Baylor a bunch of prolific passing

0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:31.040
<v Speaker 1>teams that are yet to be played. So chapter one

0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:31.400
<v Speaker 1>for me.

0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:35.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm not there. Man. I think LSU is that good

0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:39.560
<v Speaker 2>on offense. I'm riding with the new offense and Joe

0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:44.200
<v Speaker 2>Brady and Joe Burrow and whatever. I love LSU, and

0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:46.200
<v Speaker 2>I think Texas is going to be fine. They have

0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:48.760
<v Speaker 2>Oklahoma State with a first year starting quarterback, a red

0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:50.760
<v Speaker 2>shirt freshman who I think is good. I think he's

0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:52.520
<v Speaker 2>pretty good, and he has good receivers but the game

0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:54.200
<v Speaker 2>is in Austin. I don't think they're going to be

0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:58.800
<v Speaker 2>as prolific as LSU was. West Virginia goes from will

0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:03.520
<v Speaker 2>Greer to nothing scattered. That offense is scary bad looking

0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:05.440
<v Speaker 2>right now. I think Jalen Hurts is going to be

0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:07.120
<v Speaker 2>very good. I don't think he's gonna Kyler Murray or

0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:09.920
<v Speaker 2>Baker Mayfield. He started out the season looking like it.

0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:13.320
<v Speaker 2>Kansas TCU is a quarterback mess right now. Kansas State,

0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:15.840
<v Speaker 2>we have no idea. They haven't played anybody. They handled

0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:17.920
<v Speaker 2>Rock Party in Iowa State last year. I think you

0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:20.320
<v Speaker 2>know the games and aims this year. Texas Tech Baylor,

0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:22.600
<v Speaker 2>these aren't teams that you know. Tech had a decent

0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:25.720
<v Speaker 2>game against them. Baylor didn't torch the Texas defense last year.

0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.760
<v Speaker 2>I feel okay about the Texas pass defense. I do.

0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:30.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't think they're going to be down for longer

0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:34.040
<v Speaker 2>than a year. I mean longer than a year, sure,

0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:35.680
<v Speaker 2>but last year. I don't think they're going to be

0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:36.640
<v Speaker 2>longer than last year.

0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:38.760
<v Speaker 1>Okay, we disagree.

0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:41.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean the lot the Taylor, Cornelius Will Greer losses

0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:45.080
<v Speaker 2>I think are a significant upperclassmen, very good quarterbacks.

0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:49.000
<v Speaker 1>We disagree is moving on final one here the Washington

0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:51.080
<v Speaker 1>passing game, Dan, why did you have this one on there?

0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:55.800
<v Speaker 2>Because it was rough against Cal? It was rough and

0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:59.120
<v Speaker 2>it was sort of twofold. Because I really like Washington's

0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:03.240
<v Speaker 2>offensive line. I've always been a little bit questioning of

0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Jacob Eson and this receiving cores. And it's a broken

0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:11.720
<v Speaker 2>record on this show since John Ross not the same.

0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:15.160
<v Speaker 2>You know, talent for plays, talent for situations, but overall,

0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:17.880
<v Speaker 2>I think their strongest at tight end, and that's worrisome

0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:20.440
<v Speaker 2>because they recruited pretty well there. I'm going to say

0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:22.840
<v Speaker 2>chapter one, I'm going to say, with this schedule they

0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:25.800
<v Speaker 2>have in front of them, I'm going to say it's

0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:28.840
<v Speaker 2>a bad year to have both a questionable receiving corps

0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:33.080
<v Speaker 2>and questionable quarterback. Yes, Cal has the best secondary in

0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:36.160
<v Speaker 2>the conference, right, that is a thing. I don't want

0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:38.880
<v Speaker 2>to disrespect Cal on defense, but when you look at

0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Washington's schedule, I think there's a lot of like there's

0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:46.920
<v Speaker 2>there's speed bumps, there's there's road blockages. You know, USC

0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:51.600
<v Speaker 2>looks strong upfront on defense BYU is no slouch. Oregon,

0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:54.960
<v Speaker 2>Utah and consecutive. I know there's a bye week between them.

0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:57.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, I think Washington State it's at home and

0:16:57.560 --> 0:16:59.880
<v Speaker 2>Washington owns Washington State, So I'm not terribly worried about that.

0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:03.840
<v Speaker 2>But between USC, Oregon and Utah, those are the teams

0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:06.480
<v Speaker 2>you have to beat. If you're Washington and if you're

0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:09.159
<v Speaker 2>losing a Cal and it suddenly becomes a lot dicier.

0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:13.440
<v Speaker 1>You missed a prime opportunity instead of roadblock to stay blockade.

0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Remember international high sees, Dan, this is the two's crew.

0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:20.880
<v Speaker 2>Disagree, Agree, What do you think?

0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:24.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm not ready to be that worried yet. Okay, there

0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:27.080
<v Speaker 1>were always going to be some growing pains with Jacob Eason.

0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:29.080
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a given. Sure, he's been around a

0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:32.080
<v Speaker 1>couple of years, but I just think this is expected

0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:34.880
<v Speaker 1>at home. Yeah, I look.

0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:36.800
<v Speaker 2>In front of hundreds of people at three am.

0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:38.920
<v Speaker 1>I know, I know, I know it's hard to believe,

0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:42.000
<v Speaker 1>but I think growing pains are sort of a given.

0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:44.320
<v Speaker 1>I also don't want to base anything too much on

0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:47.159
<v Speaker 1>that Col game, because Col's got a good defense, the

0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:51.159
<v Speaker 1>good secondary. Yep, it's early in the season. Outside of

0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:54.360
<v Speaker 1>Cal and maybe Oregon in Utah, I just don't feel

0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:57.159
<v Speaker 1>like there are that many good defenses in the Pac twelve.

0:17:57.320 --> 0:18:02.040
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, here's a sub question I think is the raciest, hottest,

0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:06.000
<v Speaker 2>takiest question I could possibly ask. Was the Cow game

0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:07.920
<v Speaker 2>an upset?

0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:08.879
<v Speaker 1>I think so?

0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:10.600
<v Speaker 2>You think so? You think by the end of the year,

0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:13.640
<v Speaker 2>by October, we're going to say, Wow, that was way

0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:15.520
<v Speaker 2>out of character for what we now know about these

0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:16.119
<v Speaker 2>two teams.

0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:18.920
<v Speaker 1>No, No, I don't. I don't think we're going to

0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:21.400
<v Speaker 1>see it as out of character. But I also don't think.

0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:23.960
<v Speaker 2>That you're a big cow head. No I was.

0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Everybody knows that about you, cowhead. No, I don't think

0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:28.960
<v Speaker 1>it was out of character, but I do think it

0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:29.600
<v Speaker 1>was an upset.

0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:33.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I just I think it's worth asking, just asking question,

0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:33.760
<v Speaker 2>this question.

0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:38.000
<v Speaker 1>This question goes away in a week because Washington has Hawaii,

0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:40.440
<v Speaker 1>and my guess is that Jake Easton's going to throw

0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:42.359
<v Speaker 1>for three to fifty in like five touchdowns.

0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:45.119
<v Speaker 2>As far as I can tell, Hawaii is two and

0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:47.880
<v Speaker 2>zero against PAC twelve teams in twenty nineteen.

0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Let's do this, Let's do this. Yeah, let's put this

0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:56.199
<v Speaker 1>one back on the docket after the USC game at

0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:59.240
<v Speaker 1>the end of September like a two's cruiz booie. Yeah,

0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:06.040
<v Speaker 1>just float now. Nice recovery. Okay, where are we going next?

0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:07.400
<v Speaker 1>What is our next mini game? Here?

0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:12.760
<v Speaker 2>I see pump of the breaks? Yeah, all right, so

0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:14.920
<v Speaker 2>this is quite simple. This is sort of similar to

0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:17.320
<v Speaker 2>thing or not a thing. But let's be more specific

0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:20.760
<v Speaker 2>about our excitement regarding a lot of positive situations in

0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:23.560
<v Speaker 2>college football. So simply I'm gonna give you a situation

0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:26.320
<v Speaker 2>and you say, yeah, we should pump the brakes, relax

0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:29.359
<v Speaker 2>a little bit, or nah, got the need for cee.

0:19:30.040 --> 0:19:34.680
<v Speaker 2>This is a problem, this specifically problem. Yeah, I'm I'm

0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:35.960
<v Speaker 2>full throttle on everything.

0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:36.760
<v Speaker 1>I always are.

0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:39.760
<v Speaker 2>You. You're five for five in these teams. Well, we

0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:40.680
<v Speaker 2>didn't go through them yet.

0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:43.119
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I'm just saying that My problem with games like

0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:45.840
<v Speaker 1>this is I always run a little hot this early

0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:48.040
<v Speaker 1>in the season. This is how I get myself into

0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:52.119
<v Speaker 1>corners with TCU and Old Miss and yeah.

0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:53.959
<v Speaker 2>We do get We get notes all the time from

0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:56.399
<v Speaker 2>people having to pull off the road because it's getting

0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:59.440
<v Speaker 2>so steamy coming from their speakers because you run so hot.

0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Mylas are fogging up here. Where are we going first?

0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:03.560
<v Speaker 2>All right, pump the breaks? North Carolina?

0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Tie?

0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:05.600
<v Speaker 2>Are we pumping some breaks?

0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:08.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm all in, I'm all in. I got the need, baby.

0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:12.879
<v Speaker 2>I think they hit a wall. I'm gonna pump those breaks.

0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:16.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to be encouraged and I'm going to be hopeful,

0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:19.560
<v Speaker 2>but I'm pumping the breaks a little bit on North Carolina.

0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Did you see Mac Brown's robotic dance after week one?

0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Did you see Mac Brown almost give away two straight

0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:29.840
<v Speaker 2>weeks of games in which he had probably the better

0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:31.360
<v Speaker 2>quarterback for all four quarters?

0:20:32.119 --> 0:20:37.040
<v Speaker 1>Excuse me the quarterback who has a Yeah, sounds wonderful,

0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Sam Howel I love them.

0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:40.600
<v Speaker 2>The thing that you have going for you and running

0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:44.080
<v Speaker 2>hot for the heels hashtag hot for the Heels. Wake

0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:47.159
<v Speaker 2>Forest on the road app State Clemson, but it's in

0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:50.880
<v Speaker 2>Chapel Hill at Georgia Tech, at Virginia Tech, Duke Virginia

0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:54.280
<v Speaker 2>tough at pitt We'll see Mercer at NC State tough.

0:20:54.840 --> 0:20:58.680
<v Speaker 2>There's not a lot of tough certainty on this schedule

0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:01.640
<v Speaker 2>right now, with Virginia looking as dicey as they look,

0:21:01.680 --> 0:21:05.280
<v Speaker 2>Georgia Tech rebuilding a stay with a new coach, Wake Forest.

0:21:05.600 --> 0:21:09.200
<v Speaker 2>I think it's gonna be dangerous, but still, I think

0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:11.359
<v Speaker 2>North Carolina is just gonna hit a couple of walls.

0:21:11.400 --> 0:21:13.240
<v Speaker 2>I think they lost a starting corner. Just now for

0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:16.280
<v Speaker 2>the season with the torn ACL there's a freshman factor

0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:18.720
<v Speaker 2>with Sam Howell where he's just gonna have a clunker

0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:21.399
<v Speaker 2>of a game against the team he shouldn't. That's what

0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:24.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm worried about with North Carolina, where we made a

0:21:24.440 --> 0:21:26.560
<v Speaker 2>statement of do we have to start talking about eight

0:21:26.600 --> 0:21:30.000
<v Speaker 2>and four North Carolina. I think we're gonna we should

0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:32.840
<v Speaker 2>pull back to six and six, seven and five North Carolina.

0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:36.040
<v Speaker 1>See here's the thing. Yeah, there were no expectations for

0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:39.560
<v Speaker 1>North Carolina, that's true. So they were always playing with

0:21:39.960 --> 0:21:43.280
<v Speaker 1>house money. Anything that isn't bad is very good. So

0:21:43.359 --> 0:21:44.960
<v Speaker 1>this is an easy one for me. They're not gonna

0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:47.640
<v Speaker 1>win the ACC but the ceiling is much much higher

0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:50.320
<v Speaker 1>than I think we thought. This week against Wake should

0:21:50.320 --> 0:21:52.040
<v Speaker 1>be a hell of a game. I think I saw

0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:54.560
<v Speaker 1>there about a three point dog in that game. I

0:21:54.560 --> 0:21:57.879
<v Speaker 1>think there's a lot of shootout potential. So all of

0:21:57.880 --> 0:22:00.679
<v Speaker 1>this is gravy. As far as I'm I did the

0:22:00.720 --> 0:22:04.200
<v Speaker 1>preview for South for North Carolina, excuse me, and I was,

0:22:04.359 --> 0:22:06.199
<v Speaker 1>I was not gung ho on them at all. So

0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:09.960
<v Speaker 1>all of this has been has been just extra added

0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:12.240
<v Speaker 1>fun for me. I'm I'm all in here so repeat

0:22:12.280 --> 0:22:14.560
<v Speaker 1>the words after me. I wouldn't be surprised if North

0:22:14.560 --> 0:22:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Carolina goes eight and four. I wouldn't be surprised.

0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:19.560
<v Speaker 2>I love it. I love it.

0:22:20.160 --> 0:22:24.040
<v Speaker 1>Our next one up here is Maryland America's team. Yeah,

0:22:24.080 --> 0:22:28.680
<v Speaker 1>this is Maryland's another house money situation. Yeah, because nobody

0:22:28.720 --> 0:22:32.280
<v Speaker 1>thought they'd be all that good. Now through two weeks,

0:22:32.320 --> 0:22:36.679
<v Speaker 1>they've got the top scoring offense in college football, and

0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:41.600
<v Speaker 1>after they toasted my Syracuse Orange last week, it is,

0:22:42.119 --> 0:22:43.800
<v Speaker 1>I think hard not to look at this team and

0:22:43.880 --> 0:22:44.600
<v Speaker 1>be very excited.

0:22:46.040 --> 0:22:47.959
<v Speaker 2>I'm with you to I've got the need for speed

0:22:48.000 --> 0:22:48.639
<v Speaker 2>with the terps.

0:22:48.840 --> 0:22:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Let's do it.

0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:52.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm ripping the brakes out of the floor of

0:22:52.200 --> 0:22:54.840
<v Speaker 2>this boat. That's where the breaks are, right. Probably not

0:22:54.960 --> 0:23:00.920
<v Speaker 2>sure Temple Penn State Friday night at home, short week, Yeah, yeah,

0:23:01.560 --> 0:23:04.280
<v Speaker 2>Rutger is not super good perdue kind of disappointing early

0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:08.160
<v Speaker 2>a little bit, even though Elijah Sindelar had a nice week. Indiana, Minnesota.

0:23:08.240 --> 0:23:12.680
<v Speaker 2>Who has been below average? I think Michigan, Ohio State, Nebraska,

0:23:12.680 --> 0:23:16.200
<v Speaker 2>Michigan State. I have questions about everybody on their schedule

0:23:16.200 --> 0:23:20.280
<v Speaker 2>except for probably Ohio State. In terms of if Maryland's

0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:22.760
<v Speaker 2>scoring with anybody. As we already know they can score

0:23:22.800 --> 0:23:26.560
<v Speaker 2>with Ohio State. Yes, yeah, that's been proven. Oh yeah,

0:23:26.640 --> 0:23:29.600
<v Speaker 2>and I think Maryland's better than they were last year offensively,

0:23:29.680 --> 0:23:33.680
<v Speaker 2>So I'm all in. Yeah, I don't want any part

0:23:33.720 --> 0:23:35.920
<v Speaker 2>of breaking this. And that's b R A K I

0:23:36.200 --> 0:23:38.240
<v Speaker 2>n G. This turp train.

0:23:39.720 --> 0:23:44.840
<v Speaker 1>Maybe going to a bowl this year. I feel pretty

0:23:44.880 --> 0:23:47.760
<v Speaker 1>good about that. They need four wins, maybe going to

0:23:47.800 --> 0:23:51.480
<v Speaker 1>a ball, which would be a coup for you know,

0:23:51.560 --> 0:23:55.119
<v Speaker 1>any first year coach, but certainly in this case here

0:23:55.480 --> 0:23:58.560
<v Speaker 1>with Mike Loxley, who, as we've joked time and again,

0:23:59.160 --> 0:24:03.440
<v Speaker 1>knows the DMV. Now he brings Josh Jackson into the fold,

0:24:03.480 --> 0:24:06.640
<v Speaker 1>he's been an absolute revelation at quarterbacks, seems very comfortable

0:24:06.640 --> 0:24:10.920
<v Speaker 1>in the system. The running game's been outstanding. This is

0:24:10.960 --> 0:24:13.120
<v Speaker 1>another one, I think where we got to reevaluate at

0:24:13.119 --> 0:24:15.880
<v Speaker 1>some point, maybe after Maryland plays Penn State. All right,

0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:18.520
<v Speaker 1>in two weeks, but stick a booie in it. As

0:24:18.560 --> 0:24:20.359
<v Speaker 1>for now, let's yeah, let's stick that booy in it.

0:24:20.440 --> 0:24:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Let's let's let ourselves get excited here. And you've been

0:24:23.040 --> 0:24:26.359
<v Speaker 1>out there for for the game. Where should Maryland fans

0:24:26.359 --> 0:24:30.480
<v Speaker 1>look to stay ahead of the Rose Bowl? Where like

0:24:30.560 --> 0:24:33.119
<v Speaker 1>do you stay in that like that Glendale Pasaden area

0:24:33.280 --> 0:24:36.439
<v Speaker 1>or downtown to get to more places, you'll go by

0:24:36.480 --> 0:24:40.040
<v Speaker 1>the water. Okay, let's go to Colorado here. Yeah you

0:24:40.119 --> 0:24:41.760
<v Speaker 1>stand on where do you stand on the buffs?

0:24:42.680 --> 0:24:45.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to say relaxed on Colorado. Yeah, I'm going

0:24:45.480 --> 0:24:47.840
<v Speaker 2>to say relaxed because of what their defenses look like

0:24:47.880 --> 0:24:50.680
<v Speaker 2>in first halves. And I don't think you can build

0:24:50.840 --> 0:24:55.320
<v Speaker 2>a seven eight six, seven eight win team around needing

0:24:55.400 --> 0:24:58.040
<v Speaker 2>to scrap and come back every week. Now that they

0:24:58.080 --> 0:25:00.640
<v Speaker 2>had to do that against Colorado State, they gave up

0:25:00.800 --> 0:25:03.360
<v Speaker 2>a good chunk of points against the Rams, I don't

0:25:03.359 --> 0:25:06.560
<v Speaker 2>think are all that good. And with how they fell

0:25:06.600 --> 0:25:10.040
<v Speaker 2>behind against Nebraska, I think there's going to be depth

0:25:10.080 --> 0:25:11.960
<v Speaker 2>issues and I think there's going to be bad habit

0:25:12.000 --> 0:25:15.159
<v Speaker 2>issues on defense. So as fun as they can be

0:25:15.240 --> 0:25:18.760
<v Speaker 2>on offense, which they one can be, I say, yeah,

0:25:18.880 --> 0:25:21.560
<v Speaker 2>the Nebraska was exciting, but if you need that to

0:25:21.640 --> 0:25:24.960
<v Speaker 2>beat an okay, Big ten West team, which is where

0:25:25.000 --> 0:25:27.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm at with Nebraska right now, it's not a good sign.

0:25:28.400 --> 0:25:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm with you. I think Colorado can win six

0:25:31.080 --> 0:25:34.240
<v Speaker 1>or seven games. The problem is they're all going to

0:25:34.320 --> 0:25:37.240
<v Speaker 1>have to be games like we saw this past weekend, which,

0:25:37.280 --> 0:25:39.040
<v Speaker 1>by the way, I'm fine with that was a hell

0:25:39.119 --> 0:25:39.280
<v Speaker 1>of a.

0:25:39.320 --> 0:25:41.560
<v Speaker 2>Game from an entertainment perspective, From an.

0:25:41.560 --> 0:25:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Entertainment standpoint, from a fans, if you're a Colorado fan,

0:25:44.920 --> 0:25:47.600
<v Speaker 1>if you're if you're yeah, if you're Rich and Boulder,

0:25:47.600 --> 0:25:48.920
<v Speaker 1>who's listening to this show forever?

0:25:49.040 --> 0:25:51.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Maybe not so much, Okay, but.

0:25:51.880 --> 0:25:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Enjoy Stevie Montees and Leaviska Channelt Junior may I while

0:25:56.000 --> 0:25:57.080
<v Speaker 1>they're still in Boulder.

0:25:56.840 --> 0:25:59.919
<v Speaker 2>May I present what their schedule looks like from Friday,

0:26:00.040 --> 0:26:06.159
<v Speaker 2>October eleventh on. Yes, Oregon, Washington, State, usc Hey, Ucla, Stanford,

0:26:06.359 --> 0:26:08.359
<v Speaker 2>Washington at Utah. That's tough.

0:26:08.560 --> 0:26:09.640
<v Speaker 1>That is as tough ask.

0:26:09.800 --> 0:26:14.320
<v Speaker 2>And that's at Oregon at Wazoo. Yeah, that's a tough ask. Yeah, Okay,

0:26:14.720 --> 0:26:21.080
<v Speaker 2>that's all I have. So we agree in Colorado is

0:26:21.119 --> 0:26:23.760
<v Speaker 2>do we have any other ones in uh pumping the brakes?

0:26:23.800 --> 0:26:27.720
<v Speaker 2>We do? We have a couple more. Jalen Hurts. Jalen Hurts.

0:26:27.760 --> 0:26:34.840
<v Speaker 2>Now the break pumping question is Heisman. Heisman is Jalen

0:26:34.920 --> 0:26:38.600
<v Speaker 2>Hurts like four miles away from me in early December,

0:26:38.720 --> 0:26:42.600
<v Speaker 2>I see in Manhattan, because right now he is the

0:26:42.600 --> 0:26:46.119
<v Speaker 2>best quarterback in the country statistically, granted, it's Houston and

0:26:46.200 --> 0:26:50.120
<v Speaker 2>whoever they played this past week, Jalen Hurts is putting

0:26:50.160 --> 0:26:53.720
<v Speaker 2>up stupid numbers in the most Heisman friendly offense in

0:26:53.760 --> 0:26:57.520
<v Speaker 2>the country, with an incredible receiving corps, with incredible running backs,

0:26:57.600 --> 0:27:02.480
<v Speaker 2>with great offensive line development recently, Jalen Hurts New York

0:27:02.640 --> 0:27:04.919
<v Speaker 2>or New York adjacent quarterback?

0:27:06.520 --> 0:27:07.719
<v Speaker 1>It's an interesting question.

0:27:07.800 --> 0:27:10.240
<v Speaker 2>That's Elizabeth New Jersey. By the way, is New York adjacent?

0:27:10.680 --> 0:27:14.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's it's an interesting question. I wonder if Trevor

0:27:14.400 --> 0:27:17.879
<v Speaker 1>Lawrence and Travis etn split the vote.

0:27:19.240 --> 0:27:19.880
<v Speaker 2>At some level.

0:27:20.359 --> 0:27:25.560
<v Speaker 1>Disagree, But okay, I am wow, this is a good question.

0:27:25.760 --> 0:27:27.680
<v Speaker 1>So you didn't write Heisman on your initial life.

0:27:27.680 --> 0:27:31.040
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know. I'm just saying, okay, So in the

0:27:31.080 --> 0:27:35.240
<v Speaker 2>context of this game, it's just does your excitement about

0:27:35.240 --> 0:27:37.720
<v Speaker 2>this no no bounds or are you protecting your heart?

0:27:38.720 --> 0:27:41.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm not protecting my heart, I think so. Here's why

0:27:41.359 --> 0:27:44.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm not protecting my heart. Yeah, because Kyler Murray and

0:27:44.160 --> 0:27:47.280
<v Speaker 1>Baker Mayfield happened in the last two years, right, And I

0:27:47.320 --> 0:27:50.960
<v Speaker 1>feel pretty comfortable that Lincoln Riley's good enough with his offense.

0:27:51.320 --> 0:27:53.359
<v Speaker 1>He's ready using him a little differently, which we can

0:27:53.359 --> 0:27:56.640
<v Speaker 1>get into, but I feel pretty confident that he will

0:27:56.680 --> 0:27:59.600
<v Speaker 1>find a way to utilize his skill set. And I

0:27:59.600 --> 0:28:01.639
<v Speaker 1>do feel pretty confident that Jalen Hurts will be in

0:28:01.680 --> 0:28:04.800
<v Speaker 1>New York. I feel good about that. I'm totally with you.

0:28:05.040 --> 0:28:08.280
<v Speaker 1>I am totally completely with you. These are the defenses

0:28:08.320 --> 0:28:10.400
<v Speaker 1>that they have the rest of the season. So even

0:28:10.400 --> 0:28:13.360
<v Speaker 1>if Jalen Hurts is you know, has an uneven weak

0:28:13.440 --> 0:28:16.520
<v Speaker 1>or two UCLA Texas Tech, who I think should be

0:28:16.520 --> 0:28:19.560
<v Speaker 1>okay this year, Kansas Texas, who you don't like, You're

0:28:19.600 --> 0:28:22.040
<v Speaker 1>on the record, you don't like their past defense yet

0:28:22.080 --> 0:28:24.000
<v Speaker 1>to me, West Virginia, who I think is going to

0:28:24.040 --> 0:28:25.840
<v Speaker 1>be a little bit tricky defensively, I just don't know

0:28:25.920 --> 0:28:29.200
<v Speaker 1>if it'll be this year. Kansas State, new coach, new year,

0:28:29.240 --> 0:28:31.360
<v Speaker 1>will see. I think they're gonna be feisty. Iowa State,

0:28:31.400 --> 0:28:34.560
<v Speaker 1>who's been a thorn for Oklahoma Baylor, who they roughed

0:28:34.600 --> 0:28:39.000
<v Speaker 1>up last year. TCU sure okay, Oklahoma State not so sure.

0:28:39.960 --> 0:28:42.240
<v Speaker 1>I think it's all for the taken for Jalen Hurts,

0:28:42.560 --> 0:28:46.360
<v Speaker 1>neat for speed. He's got nine total touchdowns in two games,

0:28:46.880 --> 0:28:49.880
<v Speaker 1>and it is hard not to be excited, especially when

0:28:49.880 --> 0:28:50.800
<v Speaker 1>you see him run.

0:28:51.280 --> 0:28:51.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:28:52.040 --> 0:28:55.360
<v Speaker 1>I cannot stress this enough. He's a different kind of

0:28:55.440 --> 0:28:59.240
<v Speaker 1>runner than Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray. Those guys were

0:28:59.320 --> 0:29:02.240
<v Speaker 1>really good at jumping around in the pocket to give

0:29:02.280 --> 0:29:03.680
<v Speaker 1>themselves more time to throw a.

0:29:03.680 --> 0:29:05.840
<v Speaker 2>Little more slight, speedy guys. Jalen Hurts.

0:29:05.880 --> 0:29:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and look there, I hear people yelling at me already.

0:29:09.560 --> 0:29:12.240
<v Speaker 1>There were plenty of designed runs for both of them. Sure,

0:29:13.320 --> 0:29:16.959
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Hurts is a lot bigger. He's got really good moves,

0:29:17.000 --> 0:29:20.680
<v Speaker 1>and he wants to take you one. He wants to

0:29:20.720 --> 0:29:23.640
<v Speaker 1>take guys on. I don't know if he's as good

0:29:23.680 --> 0:29:26.720
<v Speaker 1>a passer as either Baker or Kyler. My sense is no.

0:29:27.680 --> 0:29:30.080
<v Speaker 1>But he's a different kind of runner, and I think

0:29:30.120 --> 0:29:33.000
<v Speaker 1>that's what Lincoln Riley's going to latch onto. He's going

0:29:33.040 --> 0:29:38.000
<v Speaker 1>to find ways to create matchup advantages for the Oklahoma

0:29:38.080 --> 0:29:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Sooners offense, knowing that he's got that skill set. So

0:29:41.640 --> 0:29:44.400
<v Speaker 1>I think we're in strong agreement here that Jalen Hurts

0:29:44.400 --> 0:29:47.280
<v Speaker 1>has a remarkable season, ends up in New York. Maybe

0:29:47.360 --> 0:29:49.520
<v Speaker 1>doesn't win the Hives, but who cares. And right here,

0:29:49.640 --> 0:29:52.200
<v Speaker 1>the thing is the more dangerous the runner at quarterback.

0:29:52.240 --> 0:29:55.120
<v Speaker 1>The more a defense needs to dedicate somebody to spying

0:29:55.160 --> 0:29:58.880
<v Speaker 1>on him, which opens things up even more for this

0:29:58.880 --> 0:30:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Oklahoma shortens thank and Riley he has something nobody else has.

0:30:01.800 --> 0:30:05.640
<v Speaker 1>He has the best offensive mine in the sport final one.

0:30:05.600 --> 0:30:10.480
<v Speaker 2>LSU, are we pumping the brakes on you are saying

0:30:10.600 --> 0:30:13.720
<v Speaker 2>the Texas past defense is I mean you didn't say

0:30:13.720 --> 0:30:16.959
<v Speaker 2>done though, but you said the Texas past defense. It's

0:30:17.000 --> 0:30:20.280
<v Speaker 2>just chapter one in a long season of issues. Yes,

0:30:20.360 --> 0:30:23.480
<v Speaker 2>So that leads me to believe that there's at least

0:30:23.520 --> 0:30:25.160
<v Speaker 2>part of you that says, I don't know if I

0:30:25.160 --> 0:30:27.800
<v Speaker 2>fully believe in LSU because they went up against a

0:30:27.880 --> 0:30:29.440
<v Speaker 2>suspect pass defense in Texas.

0:30:30.400 --> 0:30:33.600
<v Speaker 1>So that deep breath you heard that long tail, Yeah,

0:30:33.720 --> 0:30:37.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm tickling me that. You know, it's heart versus head.

0:30:38.080 --> 0:30:43.000
<v Speaker 1>That is me overruling my heart, going back to my

0:30:43.040 --> 0:30:44.520
<v Speaker 1>head a little bit. I'm trying to play this a

0:30:44.560 --> 0:30:45.880
<v Speaker 1>little bit more logically.

0:30:46.000 --> 0:30:47.360
<v Speaker 2>They've got defenses coming up.

0:30:47.840 --> 0:30:50.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say to relax, and it's for a reason

0:30:51.000 --> 0:30:56.800
<v Speaker 1>that you mentioned on Sunday's recap. Texas is not back.

0:30:57.080 --> 0:30:59.880
<v Speaker 1>They are not back. Okay, if anyone's got the question,

0:31:00.000 --> 0:31:03.000
<v Speaker 1>they are not back, and it has not been the

0:31:03.040 --> 0:31:06.400
<v Speaker 1>best early season measuring stick the last couple of years.

0:31:06.440 --> 0:31:07.480
<v Speaker 1>The Texas Longhorns.

0:31:07.760 --> 0:31:11.080
<v Speaker 2>Okay, take anything away from what LSU did and LSU

0:31:11.160 --> 0:31:13.680
<v Speaker 2>in early years. In early games these past few years,

0:31:13.680 --> 0:31:16.080
<v Speaker 2>they've had the really nice offensive moments.

0:31:16.640 --> 0:31:20.440
<v Speaker 1>LSU was phenomenal against Texas, but this is more a

0:31:20.480 --> 0:31:23.720
<v Speaker 1>bet against Texas as a measuring stick than anything that

0:31:23.840 --> 0:31:26.640
<v Speaker 1>LSU did. Okay, this is all I'm saying here. I

0:31:26.680 --> 0:31:30.000
<v Speaker 1>think the offensive renaissance is legit for what it's worth.

0:31:30.400 --> 0:31:32.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's smoking mirrors. I think Joe Burrow

0:31:32.600 --> 0:31:34.520
<v Speaker 1>is going to have a great year. But I just

0:31:34.600 --> 0:31:37.320
<v Speaker 1>I want to get another data point against a Power

0:31:37.400 --> 0:31:40.520
<v Speaker 1>five team before we remove the brakes out of the

0:31:40.520 --> 0:31:43.720
<v Speaker 1>bottom of the boat. If that's where they are, we

0:31:43.720 --> 0:31:45.440
<v Speaker 1>we just we pull the anchor.

0:31:45.160 --> 0:31:48.360
<v Speaker 2>Up hunt at the engine. Well, so as soon as

0:31:48.400 --> 0:31:50.960
<v Speaker 2>they play Vandy on the road power in their next

0:31:50.960 --> 0:31:52.920
<v Speaker 2>Power five opponent, you will have an official ruling.

0:31:53.480 --> 0:31:56.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, yeah, I mean it helps, it helps, But

0:31:56.080 --> 0:31:59.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking a better opponent, better caliber opponent.

0:31:59.680 --> 0:32:04.200
<v Speaker 2>So you're Florida or Starkville in mid October, Okay, that

0:32:04.240 --> 0:32:04.760
<v Speaker 2>would be nice.

0:32:04.800 --> 0:32:06.480
<v Speaker 1>I'd be nice to see I have the need for speed.

0:32:06.520 --> 0:32:08.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm all in. I'm just all in, completely in. I

0:32:08.720 --> 0:32:11.080
<v Speaker 2>want to be an early adopter. I am pushing my

0:32:11.200 --> 0:32:13.280
<v Speaker 2>chips to the center. I want to go back like

0:32:13.320 --> 0:32:16.760
<v Speaker 2>one of those horrible, horrible Silicon Valley investors was like,

0:32:16.800 --> 0:32:18.920
<v Speaker 2>I was it on Square and Uber early. I was

0:32:18.920 --> 0:32:22.080
<v Speaker 2>with the Series eight. I'm Series A for the LSU offense.

0:32:22.120 --> 0:32:22.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm in.

0:32:23.240 --> 0:32:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's it.

0:32:25.120 --> 0:32:27.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't hold back. I'm not protecting my heart.

0:32:27.560 --> 0:32:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Our final game before we let to find.

0:32:29.240 --> 0:32:33.160
<v Speaker 2>People Gonzo, Donzo or not dun So.

0:32:33.520 --> 0:32:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Here is the way this game works. We've got five

0:32:36.080 --> 0:32:39.120
<v Speaker 1>teams before us. We're going to rattle through all of

0:32:39.160 --> 0:32:44.200
<v Speaker 1>them and decide if we think they are Donezo, I

0:32:44.400 --> 0:32:45.640
<v Speaker 1>E are they done?

0:32:45.800 --> 0:32:48.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I mean it's just after two weeks. Can we

0:32:48.360 --> 0:32:52.520
<v Speaker 2>cross them off the list of teams that will be good, scary,

0:32:52.720 --> 0:32:54.360
<v Speaker 2>feisty whatever in late October?

0:32:54.480 --> 0:32:58.560
<v Speaker 1>It is more relative to our own personal expectations for

0:32:58.640 --> 0:32:59.200
<v Speaker 1>these teams.

0:32:59.240 --> 0:33:03.320
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, within the context of our and general expectations.

0:33:02.840 --> 0:33:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Donzo or not Donezo, is there still time to right

0:33:05.880 --> 0:33:09.840
<v Speaker 1>the ship get things going on a better course. Let's

0:33:09.880 --> 0:33:14.800
<v Speaker 1>start with the Syracuse Orange Dan, Yeah, Dunzo. We're not

0:33:14.840 --> 0:33:21.080
<v Speaker 1>done So I am out agree. I think I agree.

0:33:21.200 --> 0:33:25.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm done so on this being a team that can

0:33:25.480 --> 0:33:27.920
<v Speaker 1>challenge Clemson in a letdown spot after A and M,

0:33:27.960 --> 0:33:30.480
<v Speaker 1>because that was like my big thing going into the era. Sure,

0:33:30.600 --> 0:33:35.440
<v Speaker 1>maybe got some players in defense. Offensively, they've got Dino

0:33:35.520 --> 0:33:38.240
<v Speaker 1>Baber's coaching. He's a bright offense in mind. He'll be

0:33:38.240 --> 0:33:42.280
<v Speaker 1>able to put something together. Donzo on that theory, and

0:33:42.320 --> 0:33:44.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm definitely done so on this being a team that

0:33:44.480 --> 0:33:47.000
<v Speaker 1>can win nine or ten games. They just haven't looked good.

0:33:47.200 --> 0:33:50.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm hearing early upset call against the Crossaders late September

0:33:50.720 --> 0:33:53.440
<v Speaker 2>from you. That's what I'm hearing. That's what I'm interpreting

0:33:53.440 --> 0:33:57.560
<v Speaker 2>my captain as saying. So they have Clemson at home,

0:33:57.720 --> 0:33:59.560
<v Speaker 2>carry it home. I think that's the night game, right,

0:34:00.160 --> 0:34:03.480
<v Speaker 2>It's the night game on ABC. A couple winnable weeks,

0:34:03.480 --> 0:34:06.400
<v Speaker 2>Western Michigan, Holy Cross, and then there's just no gimmeis

0:34:06.440 --> 0:34:08.800
<v Speaker 2>there's just no gimmes the rest of the way. NC

0:34:08.840 --> 0:34:11.279
<v Speaker 2>State pit Florida State. I know, I hear you, I

0:34:11.360 --> 0:34:16.080
<v Speaker 2>hear you. Not a gimme. It's at Florida State, Boston College, Duke, Louisville,

0:34:16.080 --> 0:34:19.600
<v Speaker 2>Wake Forest, So this Syracuse team, which should get pretty

0:34:19.600 --> 0:34:21.480
<v Speaker 2>good quarterback play and I think is pretty good upfront

0:34:21.480 --> 0:34:25.040
<v Speaker 2>on defense, I just am not seeing it. I'm not

0:34:25.160 --> 0:34:27.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, when you when you give up as much

0:34:27.080 --> 0:34:30.760
<v Speaker 2>as they did against Maryland, when the offensive line looked

0:34:30.760 --> 0:34:34.479
<v Speaker 2>like what it did against Liberty Week one. Issues there

0:34:34.719 --> 0:34:36.839
<v Speaker 2>not being able to run the ball with any sort

0:34:36.840 --> 0:34:40.040
<v Speaker 2>of consistency. I know that's what Dino Babers wants to do.

0:34:40.080 --> 0:34:43.400
<v Speaker 2>He wants that like power spread running the ball. I

0:34:43.480 --> 0:34:46.239
<v Speaker 2>don't see it. I'm not there. I think Syracuse goes

0:34:46.280 --> 0:34:48.160
<v Speaker 2>to a bowl game. But I thought last year was

0:34:48.280 --> 0:34:52.919
<v Speaker 2>a series of not fortunate because they made their own luck.

0:34:53.000 --> 0:34:54.600
<v Speaker 2>But it was a good year to be pretty good

0:34:54.600 --> 0:34:56.839
<v Speaker 2>in the ACC, That's all I'll say. And they had

0:34:56.840 --> 0:35:00.120
<v Speaker 2>a veteran quarterback and they did Doungee correct. So I'm

0:35:00.120 --> 0:35:00.840
<v Speaker 2>gonna say, Donze.

0:35:01.760 --> 0:35:03.560
<v Speaker 1>What about the Michigan Wolverines.

0:35:03.640 --> 0:35:10.640
<v Speaker 2>Dan, I'm very close to Dunzo Wow, but I just

0:35:10.960 --> 0:35:13.880
<v Speaker 2>can't fully get there. So I'm gonna say not Dunzo

0:35:15.320 --> 0:35:18.560
<v Speaker 2>because of the defense, because of questions I have about

0:35:18.600 --> 0:35:20.640
<v Speaker 2>the teams on their schedule, and it's a tough schedule,

0:35:20.680 --> 0:35:22.560
<v Speaker 2>even though I think Notre Dame is in an arbor.

0:35:22.600 --> 0:35:28.120
<v Speaker 2>This season, it's it's teetering, it's Dunzo adjacent. But I'm

0:35:28.160 --> 0:35:31.240
<v Speaker 2>gonna say no. Because of the combination of defense and quarterback.

0:35:31.280 --> 0:35:33.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm still a little bit of a Shape Patterson believer

0:35:34.000 --> 0:35:37.840
<v Speaker 2>with the receivers and sometimes moving over to a new offense,

0:35:37.960 --> 0:35:41.080
<v Speaker 2>it just takes reps. And so that's why I can't

0:35:41.080 --> 0:35:43.080
<v Speaker 2>fully go don So you ever.

0:35:43.000 --> 0:35:46.319
<v Speaker 1>Try to install an app that gets stuck for sure,

0:35:47.080 --> 0:35:50.120
<v Speaker 1>and you've got that little spinny thing the worse on

0:35:50.200 --> 0:35:52.480
<v Speaker 1>the phone and you can't figure out, like what am I?

0:35:52.719 --> 0:35:54.720
<v Speaker 1>What am I supposed to do here? Am I supposed

0:35:54.719 --> 0:35:57.359
<v Speaker 1>to wait it out and see if it completes and

0:35:57.400 --> 0:36:00.480
<v Speaker 1>if it turns the appropriate color? Or am I supposed

0:36:00.520 --> 0:36:02.680
<v Speaker 1>to hold down on the app, click the X and

0:36:02.719 --> 0:36:05.719
<v Speaker 1>start the whole dang thing over right. That's where I'm

0:36:05.760 --> 0:36:09.680
<v Speaker 1>at with Michigan's offense right now, Like we still can't

0:36:09.840 --> 0:36:13.720
<v Speaker 1>use it, you know, it's not usable to the fullest

0:36:13.760 --> 0:36:16.520
<v Speaker 1>extent at this point. I think Josh Gattis is going

0:36:16.560 --> 0:36:19.040
<v Speaker 1>to get it eventually, And there's so much talent here.

0:36:19.760 --> 0:36:22.840
<v Speaker 1>They're two to zero. It hasn't always been pretty, but

0:36:22.960 --> 0:36:27.440
<v Speaker 1>the entire seasons in front of Michigan. The installation, eventually,

0:36:27.520 --> 0:36:31.640
<v Speaker 1>even though it hasn't gone smoothly, will take hold. There's

0:36:31.640 --> 0:36:34.879
<v Speaker 1>still plenty of time for that to manifest. I am

0:36:34.880 --> 0:36:35.680
<v Speaker 1>not done so much.

0:36:35.680 --> 0:36:38.439
<v Speaker 2>Will it take hold against a team who has given

0:36:38.520 --> 0:36:41.560
<v Speaker 2>up literally zero points this year Wisconsin their next game

0:36:41.680 --> 0:36:45.080
<v Speaker 2>after a bye week, I'm not sure about that. I'm

0:36:45.080 --> 0:36:45.879
<v Speaker 2>not sure about that.

0:36:45.920 --> 0:36:49.120
<v Speaker 1>But I'm also not sure that Jack Cohne is going

0:36:49.200 --> 0:36:51.279
<v Speaker 1>to have much passing success the way he did last

0:36:51.320 --> 0:36:53.040
<v Speaker 1>week against a really good Michigan defense.

0:36:53.320 --> 0:36:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay, I have a very excited game. Penn State

0:36:57.080 --> 0:37:01.880
<v Speaker 2>has been a thorn in State College Notre Dame. It's

0:37:02.800 --> 0:37:05.040
<v Speaker 2>the back half of this schedule is tricky.

0:37:06.400 --> 0:37:07.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm not done so yet.

0:37:07.400 --> 0:37:09.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, were UCLA?

0:37:09.600 --> 0:37:11.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Can? I was gonna say, before we get to UCLA,

0:37:11.880 --> 0:37:14.360
<v Speaker 1>can we just do a universal Dunzo in UCLA.

0:37:14.920 --> 0:37:15.360
<v Speaker 2>I think.

0:37:17.800 --> 0:37:21.080
<v Speaker 1>The first two weeks for UCLA could not have gone

0:37:21.160 --> 0:37:26.720
<v Speaker 1>much worse. And I know we were in disagreement after

0:37:27.239 --> 0:37:30.959
<v Speaker 1>our Thursday show last week when I picked bravely picked

0:37:31.000 --> 0:37:34.759
<v Speaker 1>San Diego State just to cover over UCLA. Didn't think

0:37:34.800 --> 0:37:35.239
<v Speaker 1>they'd win.

0:37:36.920 --> 0:37:37.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:37:37.239 --> 0:37:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, So here we are now owing to clearly the

0:37:43.520 --> 0:37:47.840
<v Speaker 1>UCLA natives growing a bit restless with chip Kelly, seemed

0:37:47.840 --> 0:37:49.879
<v Speaker 1>like they had a ton of talent coming back. I mean,

0:37:50.680 --> 0:37:52.480
<v Speaker 1>was obviously going to take a little bit for the

0:37:52.560 --> 0:37:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Chipper system to fully be implemented. But we're at a

0:37:57.239 --> 0:37:58.840
<v Speaker 1>real weird place now with UCLA.

0:38:00.040 --> 0:38:02.839
<v Speaker 2>How sometimes when you buy a piece of refurbished electronics,

0:38:02.840 --> 0:38:05.960
<v Speaker 2>they'll tell you the exact like they'll grade the condition

0:38:06.040 --> 0:38:08.600
<v Speaker 2>it's in yep, like out of ten, they'll say it's

0:38:08.600 --> 0:38:12.440
<v Speaker 2>a seven plus some scuffs. Sometimes you got to restart it.

0:38:13.680 --> 0:38:17.200
<v Speaker 2>That's what it may be that Chip Kelly is right now.

0:38:17.880 --> 0:38:19.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, in terms.

0:38:18.920 --> 0:38:21.720
<v Speaker 2>Of a refurbished coach with some scuffs and some issues

0:38:21.760 --> 0:38:26.640
<v Speaker 2>like once you take it, it's yours, snow returns. And

0:38:26.680 --> 0:38:28.799
<v Speaker 2>I think UCLA might be in that place this year,

0:38:28.920 --> 0:38:33.120
<v Speaker 2>maybe after you restarted enough in a year. Everything seems

0:38:33.120 --> 0:38:36.960
<v Speaker 2>to be smoothly working out. But at Oklahoma and Wazoo

0:38:37.280 --> 0:38:40.719
<v Speaker 2>against this UCLA team these next couple weeks and then

0:38:40.760 --> 0:38:43.720
<v Speaker 2>that's before Khalil Tate on the road, it's a problem.

0:38:43.960 --> 0:38:46.080
<v Speaker 2>I know Stanford well, I think Stanford will probably have

0:38:46.160 --> 0:38:49.160
<v Speaker 2>kJ Castello back hopefully by mid October when they play,

0:38:49.640 --> 0:38:52.440
<v Speaker 2>and the bummer is this This would have been a

0:38:52.440 --> 0:38:56.120
<v Speaker 2>great year for UCLA to really improve, and they still might.

0:38:56.600 --> 0:38:59.800
<v Speaker 2>No Oregon, no Washington from the north. This was a

0:39:00.080 --> 0:39:05.840
<v Speaker 2>eight year Yeah, and I don't see it. I just don't.

0:39:05.960 --> 0:39:08.960
<v Speaker 2>I think they just especially on offense, they don't have

0:39:09.000 --> 0:39:11.719
<v Speaker 2>a dude at quarterback. They don't have three quarters of

0:39:11.719 --> 0:39:14.120
<v Speaker 2>a dude at quarterback. I don't think the line's all

0:39:14.120 --> 0:39:15.719
<v Speaker 2>that good. I don't think the skill talent. I mean,

0:39:15.760 --> 0:39:19.640
<v Speaker 2>Josh Kelly is I think pretty good. But I don't

0:39:19.640 --> 0:39:21.960
<v Speaker 2>know what we're seeing from UCLA. I mean what we've

0:39:22.000 --> 0:39:24.520
<v Speaker 2>seen from ucle is not great. I just they're done

0:39:24.880 --> 0:39:28.560
<v Speaker 2>all right, two last ones here very quickly. Yeah, we

0:39:28.600 --> 0:39:33.880
<v Speaker 2>could West Virginia Donzell, I'm donzel as well. Yeah, but

0:39:34.040 --> 0:39:36.040
<v Speaker 2>that's not saying much because I was done so before

0:39:36.080 --> 0:39:36.560
<v Speaker 2>the season.

0:39:37.080 --> 0:39:38.640
<v Speaker 1>This was not going to be a good team. It's

0:39:38.680 --> 0:39:40.680
<v Speaker 1>going to take a little bit for Neil Brown. I

0:39:40.680 --> 0:39:42.160
<v Speaker 1>think eventually he'll get there with them.

0:39:42.239 --> 0:39:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. On that before the year, I liked them.

0:39:46.400 --> 0:39:49.719
<v Speaker 1>We did. Yeah, but I'm not a huge West Virginia fan.

0:39:50.920 --> 0:39:53.040
<v Speaker 1>It's just going to take time. So we agree now

0:39:53.200 --> 0:39:54.399
<v Speaker 1>on West Virginia, we.

0:39:54.320 --> 0:39:58.560
<v Speaker 2>Agree schedule is workable for a decent team. But I

0:39:58.600 --> 0:40:01.600
<v Speaker 2>think especially on offense, it's too rough right now. Maybe

0:40:01.640 --> 0:40:03.600
<v Speaker 2>they're feisty by the end of the year, but now

0:40:03.640 --> 0:40:06.080
<v Speaker 2>it sort of looks like not really bullish.

0:40:06.239 --> 0:40:11.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, Okay, And our final subject here is Kentucky.

0:40:11.800 --> 0:40:13.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:40:13.440 --> 0:40:17.640
<v Speaker 1>I was very quick last year to dismiss Kentucky and

0:40:17.680 --> 0:40:21.399
<v Speaker 1>it was an incredible season. I'm gonna hold my fire

0:40:21.560 --> 0:40:24.840
<v Speaker 1>for now because I don't want to rub salt in

0:40:24.840 --> 0:40:27.439
<v Speaker 1>the womb like. It just sucks that Terry Wilson went down.

0:40:27.520 --> 0:40:30.959
<v Speaker 1>For sure, He's a good kid. It sucks to see

0:40:30.960 --> 0:40:33.960
<v Speaker 1>that happen. I want to see what Sawyer Smith can

0:40:34.040 --> 0:40:37.319
<v Speaker 1>do against Florida before I make a judgment here. But

0:40:38.040 --> 0:40:42.040
<v Speaker 1>needless to say, your starting quarterback goes down, that that

0:40:42.080 --> 0:40:44.560
<v Speaker 1>puts a lot of the season's plans in peril.

0:40:45.600 --> 0:40:47.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they've got a couple of tough ones right away

0:40:47.520 --> 0:40:50.960
<v Speaker 2>Florida and they traveled to Starfield to take on the Dowgs,

0:40:51.080 --> 0:40:56.880
<v Speaker 2>the Bill Dowgs Mississippi State. I'm gonna say Dunzel, Dunzell.

0:40:57.560 --> 0:40:59.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna say Dunzel. And I don't think it's necessarily

0:41:00.080 --> 0:41:03.080
<v Speaker 2>because of the quarterback situation. I think it might be

0:41:03.120 --> 0:41:05.880
<v Speaker 2>a little more on the defense with what they have

0:41:06.000 --> 0:41:08.640
<v Speaker 2>in front of them, I think Florida's improved on offense.

0:41:08.680 --> 0:41:10.840
<v Speaker 2>We'll see what the status of Tommy Stevens is. I

0:41:10.840 --> 0:41:14.080
<v Speaker 2>haven't seen anything recently in his upper body situation, his

0:41:14.080 --> 0:41:17.520
<v Speaker 2>shoulder whatever. I like Ryan Helenski at South Carolina. I

0:41:17.520 --> 0:41:19.960
<v Speaker 2>think Georgia is gonna be quite strong back half of

0:41:20.000 --> 0:41:23.440
<v Speaker 2>their schedule, though, that's where it sneaks up. And I

0:41:23.480 --> 0:41:26.840
<v Speaker 2>think even with a backup quarterback, that could wiggle themselves

0:41:26.840 --> 0:41:30.560
<v Speaker 2>into Bowl eligibility. Seven wins, but it's gonna take a

0:41:30.560 --> 0:41:34.640
<v Speaker 2>little bit. And from what we've seen early against Toledo

0:41:34.680 --> 0:41:37.920
<v Speaker 2>in Eastern Michigan, I'm a little bit worried about this defense.

0:41:38.120 --> 0:41:42.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm a little bit worried. Okay, so I'm gonna say donezo.

0:41:43.360 --> 0:41:44.080
<v Speaker 2>So there you go.

0:41:44.239 --> 0:41:48.239
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for hopping aboard these cruise here.

0:41:48.680 --> 0:41:49.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's been great.

0:41:49.760 --> 0:41:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Captain Tye's Lieutenant Dan. We're gonna roll with this whole

0:41:54.080 --> 0:41:55.480
<v Speaker 1>little metaphor the entire seaton.

0:41:55.480 --> 0:41:58.680
<v Speaker 2>Do you get seasick? My guess is yes, oh no, no,

0:41:58.960 --> 0:42:01.680
<v Speaker 2>solid as a rock. I love boats, love them. You

0:42:01.719 --> 0:42:04.239
<v Speaker 2>love boats. I enjoy boats as well, So I'm glad

0:42:04.280 --> 0:42:06.319
<v Speaker 2>that this is the twos cruise. When was the last

0:42:06.360 --> 0:42:07.240
<v Speaker 2>time you were on a boat?

0:42:08.560 --> 0:42:08.840
<v Speaker 1>Wow?

0:42:08.920 --> 0:42:13.360
<v Speaker 2>Good question. I was on a boat last summer. Okay, Yeah,

0:42:13.840 --> 0:42:16.160
<v Speaker 2>I took a fairy a couple of weeks ago, maybe

0:42:16.160 --> 0:42:19.359
<v Speaker 2>a month ago with the Solid Baby. He loved it,

0:42:20.040 --> 0:42:23.279
<v Speaker 2>loved it great. So I feel like this is all

0:42:23.280 --> 0:42:27.360
<v Speaker 2>app and appropriate for what we're doing. We disagreed in

0:42:27.360 --> 0:42:30.320
<v Speaker 2>a number of places, but I think we can agree

0:42:30.719 --> 0:42:33.399
<v Speaker 2>maybe the best twos cruise we've ever voyaged upon.

0:42:34.200 --> 0:42:37.399
<v Speaker 1>Some would say the inaugural tuess. Yes, that's true. Thank

0:42:37.440 --> 0:42:39.880
