1
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: I promise you Nolan Ryan in his prime, never possessed

2
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: a heater the likes of which we're on right now.

3
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: Five consecutive weeks for the Once upon a Saturday tour,

4
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: we have seen games come down to the last possession,

5
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: in the last minute. Four out of the last five

6
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: weeks games have been decided on the final play. And

7
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: still the haters will claim it's luck. The haters will

8
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: claim this just happens. No, it doesn't. We're on a

9
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: heater right now, so let's keep it rolling. We're jam

10
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: packed high atap a hopeful downtown Nashville, Tennessee. Hopeful because

11
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: Nashville's college football team hung with Georgia yesterday. How about that?

12
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: It's Sunday night, October fifteenth, the year of Our Lord,

13
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. What a wild week seven. While you

14
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: were sleeping last night, I was somewhere over the Big

15
00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: twelve in an airplane, watching games, coming back from Seattle,

16
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: trying to make sense of what we saw yesterday and

17
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 1: what we almost saw, and did we see what we

18
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,279
Speaker 1: thought we saw? I got some stuff to say about Jimbo.

19
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: I got some stuff to say about Lincoln Riley. I

20
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: got some thoughts on the Dan Lanning decision making. I

21
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: was at the Oregon Washington game yesterday and I have

22
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: got a metric ton of stories to tell you about that.

23
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: We have got the once Upon a Saturday Tours Week

24
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: eight destinations just a few minutes away from being announced.

25
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: I've got early best bets. Another winning day for the

26
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: Rama Noodle Express yesterday. Like I said, we're on a

27
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: heater simonol Loklahoma as tuned in Tacoma, Washington, Jenkins, Kentucky, Ringgold, Georgia.

28
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: I got one more piece of breaking news that I've hidden,

29
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: even from the staff. I've hidden it all day. It

30
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: is that time. It is me. Maha told me this

31
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: would eventually come. Management has broken the glass. They've pushed

32
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: the red button. It's happening. Your boy is flying up

33
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: to New York on Wednesday at some point, and I

34
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: will do Inside College Football. It's a chair of the

35
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: likes of which Danny Canell have graced before, and so

36
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: I'll be up there somehow. We're going to do a

37
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: live show Tuesday in Nashville and Thursday in Nashville, but

38
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: we'll do Inside College Football Wednesday up there. So looking

39
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: forward to that, don't exactly know what to expect. I'm

40
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: not sure the white T shirt will be welcome there,

41
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: so you'll probably see me dressed differently. But yeah, busy week.

42
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: And then we'll cap it off, of course with a

43
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,679
Speaker 1: destination appointment viewing type situation for the once upon a

44
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: Saturday tour this Saturday. But that is in the future.

45
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 1: We want to talk about what's in the immediate rear view.

46
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: Let's let's just wipe that smudge off there and let's

47
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: take a look at what we saw yesterday. Washington Beatleregan

48
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: yesterday thirty six to thirty three. This was legitimately one

49
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: of the best games I've ever witnessed in my life.

50
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: Growing up in rural Georgia, of course, a young JP

51
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: knew where Seattle was, didn't ever think he'd be watching

52
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: football games in Seattle, certainly didn't think he would be

53
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: attending football games in Seattle. I got to tell you something.

54
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: Look at this if you have the privilege of watching

55
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: on YouTube right now. I got in the building before

56
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: it was opened to the public, and I took the

57
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: eye Josh and I just tried to capture what this

58
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: place looks like. It's like a screen saver especially if

59
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: you go into what I firmly believe is the steepest

60
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: upper deck in all of sports, right up there with

61
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium in the SkyDome. I went up there and

62
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: I shot the field totally tranquil, and then off in

63
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: the distance, you've got the sun coming up, You've got

64
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: the water sail gators are on their way in. And

65
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: then we had a not down, drag out war on

66
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: that football field. So juxtapost how quiet and peaceful and

67
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: serene it is with just a few hours later we

68
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: got Oregon missing a field goal at the end of regulation.

69
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: Here's more footage courtesy of the Eye Josh. If you're

70
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: watching on YouTube, you can see it. If you're listening

71
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: on podcast, picture a miss field goal and then there

72
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: we are, once again in the middle of another field,

73
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: storming to always be in this corner of the end zone.

74
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: We're standing as well. Coach Quinn close behind me, had

75
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: to make sure she didn't get trucked. It almost happened

76
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: a couple of times. People must take her for a

77
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: student a lot, and it was wild, such a wild scene.

78
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: Seven lead changes in this game. Yesterday, Bo Nicks, Michael

79
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 1: Pennix lived up to if not exceeded all of the

80
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 1: hype around this game. Here's what's wild about it. Maybe

81
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: you feel this way, maybe you don't. You've got your

82
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: own preferences. When you talk to me about instant classics

83
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: and great football games. There have to be a combination

84
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: of a couple of things. For me, I want high

85
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: level offense, but I also want high level defense. And

86
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: you may think to yourself, well, you can't have that.

87
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: I would argue we got it in this game. We

88
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: had nine hundred and fifty six total yards, but there

89
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: were multiple key defensive moments in this game. There were

90
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: multiple turnovers on downs. That doesn't happen just because you

91
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: trip over your chee laces. Like there have to be defenders.

92
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: There has to be defense being played at least somewhat

93
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: of a reasonable level. Was unbelievable. The noise in Husky

94
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: Stadium yesterday afternoon rival just about anything I've witnessed in

95
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: the SEC. And I want to pause because you think

96
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: I'm lying, But most of you haven't been there, and

97
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: I hadn't been there until yesterday, so I didn't believe it.

98
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: Cooper Protegna walking up and down the halls talking to

99
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: me about Washington Husky Stadium. I just thought it was

100
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: purple propaganda p squared, as MEMA would call it. It

101
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: wasn't it unbelievable, like ear piercing noise. And it wasn't

102
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: just on the first drive. Anyone can get loud on

103
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: the first drive. It was sustained. It was all the

104
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: way throughout the day. It's how I picture the Metrodome

105
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: used to sound when the Twins were in the World Series,

106
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: which is a painful memory for some long suffering Braves fans. Man,

107
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: those people made that an extremely hostile place to play yesterday.

108
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: It was right up there like Tennessee when they played

109
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: Alabama last year. It's the loudest I've ever heard any venue.

110
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: This approached that at times yesterday and you're working with

111
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: thirty thousand less in attendance and open end zones. Unbelievable

112
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: how loud that place was. So what's everyone want to

113
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: talk about? It seems to me like everyone wants to

114
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: talk about Dan Lanning's decision making and he's being questioned

115
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: and whether he should have gone for it on this

116
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: fourth down, whether he should have kicked a field goal

117
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: on that fourth down. Hey, on this show, we like

118
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: to talk about winners first, So I'd like to ask you,

119
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: does anyone want to talk about the team that put

120
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: that heat on Oregon? Does anyone want to talk about

121
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: what put them in position to have to decide whether

122
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: to go for it on a number of those fourth downs?

123
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: Oregon ran for two hundred and four yards yesterday and

124
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: it wasn't good enough. Bo Nicks ten yards per completion

125
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: wasn't good enough. Ten of sixteen on third down wasn't

126
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: good enough. Nicks was twenty of twenty four for two

127
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty one just in the second half. And

128
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: that was the side of the ball that lost. That

129
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 1: wasn't good enough. Why Because Washington's that good. That's why

130
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: Washington and Michael Pennis had a career day. And what

131
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: was interesting was when you came into the game, you

132
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: always wonder are you going to be able to live

133
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: up to your reputation against quality competition? Same thing I

134
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: wondered about Dylan Gabriel against Texas the week before. Well

135
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: he did. They did. They lived up to it and

136
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: then some for the course of the regular season up

137
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: to yesterday. Here's a post it pop stat. Pennix was

138
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: thrown for about four hundred yards per game. He threw

139
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: for three sixteen yesterday. Plenty good enough. Plenty good enough. Rushing,

140
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: they didn't have a hundred yard rusher in any game

141
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: this season. Dylan Johnson twenty carries hundred yards. Stats and

142
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: Info dutifully tells me that's right at five yards per clip,

143
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: plenty good enough. And then some points per game. They

144
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: were scoring about forty six point eight per game. They

145
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: scored thirty six yesterday. Plenty good enough. What's interesting, also,

146
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: if you go back and watch the prediction I did,

147
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: is I predicted Oregon to win. No confidence. We didn't

148
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: bet on. This was a very very long, low confidence prediction,

149
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: but I said, I assume Oregon will score thirty eight.

150
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: They didn't. You want to know whe're not kicking those

151
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: field goals comes in. You want to know we're not

152
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: converting fourth downs comes in. That's the difference between scoring

153
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: into the forties and not converting and being in the

154
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: low thirties. Washington was incredible yesterday. You know you're watching

155
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: NFL talent like Donsay is an NFL lock first round

156
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: type talent at receiver. I think the country found that

157
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: out yesterday. I think most people who have watched him

158
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: already know and he's not the only one on that roster.

159
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: He's just the premiere guy in that receiver room. Eight receptions,

160
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty eight. Troy Franklin is that for Oregon.

161
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: Eight receptions one hundred and fifty four. So all the

162
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: big players in this game went off the way they

163
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: were supposed to, and everyone's now talking about whether there's

164
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: going to be a rematch between these teams. I'll get

165
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: to that. The reason why I'm skipping the MIO on

166
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: the desk, we're just going straight coffee tonight. It's cause, well,

167
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: number one, this game took place in Seattle, so we

168
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: had a long way to come to get back for

169
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: tonight's show. The other reason is I made an executive

170
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: decision and I decided not to sleep on the flight

171
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: home last night. I wanted to go back, not watch

172
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 1: the condensed game. I wanted to go back and watch

173
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: the entire game. And so thanks to the folks at

174
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 1: United Airlines for just providing copious dangerous stare I say

175
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: borderline I legal amounts of caffeine to keep me awake,

176
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: but also for forgetting us home safe and allowing me

177
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: to come to a couple of conclusions. Number One, I

178
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: don't think that there were losers in the grand scheme

179
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: of things in this game. Yesterday, Probably my net reaction

180
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 1: was I'm a little bit more, too moderately more impressed

181
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: with both teams than I was coming in. And you know,

182
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: I was already pretty high on both of them. Had

183
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: an Oregon Top five. They're not going anywhere, They're not

184
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 1: going to drop out of that. I would imagine the

185
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: JP pole may have some of you and shambles Tuesday night.

186
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: If you weren't ready for Notre Dame to be rated

187
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: higher than USC even though they had two losses to

188
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: US's zero, you may not be ready for what comes

189
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: Tuesday night. But you know what I've noticed, anytime there's

190
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: questionable decision making from coaches, anytime there's questionable decision making

191
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: in game strategy style stuff from a coach, everyone wants

192
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: to have their gavel moment, Like everyone just wants to

193
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: speak in definitive terms. This guy's an idiot, or this

194
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: guy's a genius, this guy's a failure, This was a

195
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: terrible decision, this was a great decision. Nine to nine

196
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: percent of the time there's shades of gray around all that.

197
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 1: So you saw the game yesterday, and if you didn't

198
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: go back and watch it, I would encourage you to

199
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: instant classic. Dan Lanning had some decisions to make, Oregon

200
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: had some decisions to make. They are very aggressive by nature,

201
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: very aggressive. It's their mo They've done it, sometimes to

202
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: their success, sometimes to their detriment. I think they're willing

203
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: to live with that. I have this weird thing where

204
00:10:54,960 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 1: when coaches make decisions and they don't work out, will

205
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: fill my inbox as if I endorsed the decisions and

206
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: they expect me to answer for them. I don't have

207
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: to answer for anything Dan Lanning or anyone else did yesterday.

208
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: They do, he did, We'll play it in just a second.

209
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: But I don't have to answer for that. I don't.

210
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: I was watching just like you were. But you guys

211
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: probably come at me because you know I'm a little

212
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: bit more I'm a little bit more apt to lean

213
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: towards benefit of the doubt towards coaches decisions than your

214
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: average member of the media, because I'm not your average

215
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: member of the media, nor do I claim to be.

216
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 2: No.

217
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 1: My philosophy on this show has always just been I

218
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 1: trust that I don't know what they know, and not

219
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: just talking about football acumen. I've always respected the amount

220
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 1: of prep and attention to detail that goes into getting

221
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: ready for a game, and also the situational awareness in

222
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: getting ready to play an opponent. I think would boggle

223
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: most people's minds that it doesn't mean that doesn't mean

224
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,719
Speaker 1: you couldn't make a wrong decision. It just means you're

225
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: equipped with the whole heck of a lot more information

226
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: than I am, or someone with a laptop on their

227
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 1: knees is when it comes to making decisions on whether

228
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: we're going to go for it and on fourth down? What

229
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: look we get on fourth down? So anyway, I'm on

230
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: CBS Sports HQ yesterday talking to the esteemed hikeem Dermish

231
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 1: after the game, he asked me, what did you think

232
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: about those decisions to go for it on fourth down?

233
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 1: I said, the only one I really didn't care for

234
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: was the one before the half because I just didn't

235
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: think it made sense. And sure enough, after the game,

236
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: Dan Lanny got asked nine different ways from Sunday about it.

237
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: Here's what he had to say.

238
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 2: I'll always go back and evaluate myself right and say, okay,

239
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 2: what can I do different? You know that being said,

240
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 2: you know, from probability standpoint, how we felt about the

241
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 2: looks that we were getting. We felt like we had

242
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 2: a chance to have success. And both both situations really

243
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 2: are all the situations today where we went four on fourth,

244
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 2: I'll certainly go back and evaluate myself and it's about adapting.

245
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 2: The game is about adapting and figure out where you

246
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 2: can be better. You take one of those field goals

247
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 2: early on right, and we are looking at probably a

248
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 2: little bit different situation.

249
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: So everyone like, obviously everyone's got an opinion on whether

250
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: you should go four on fourth down. My whole thing

251
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: with the way I look at that is I've always

252
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: been I've never liked the people that enjoy benefit of

253
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 1: the doubt. I've never been a fan of people who

254
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 1: get benefit of the doubt on their side. Why should

255
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 1: I say this, I'm kind of backspacing because I know

256
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna clip this later. Here it is, here,

257
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 1: it is Jesse, Here, it is Colin. I have never

258
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: appreciated people who wait to have benefit of hindsight on

259
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: their side before they judge a decision. In other words,

260
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: the decisions made and then you got folks that go

261
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: uh oh, and then they wait to see whether it

262
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: works out or not. Then they go terrible or gutsy ballsy. Well,

263
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: you're not really judging it properly. Now, If you could

264
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: hit the pause button when he makes the decision and say,

265
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: I don't like this no matter or if it works

266
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: out or not, or I'm a fan of this no

267
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: matter whether it works out or not, I'm okay with that.

268
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: Most people don't do that. Some people in our profession

269
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: don't do that. So here's the thing. No, I would

270
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: have preferred they kick a field goal at the end

271
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: of the half. The other stuff that's personal preference. That's philosophy.

272
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: I could not care less. I appreciate it. I respect it.

273
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: Here's what they're not doing. They're not flipping a coin

274
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: on that Oregon sideline. They know who they are. If

275
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: you don't like it, you don't like it. If you

276
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: do like it, you do like it. I don't really

277
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: think they care much. But I was looking at it

278
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: from the perspective of he thinks he's got the better team,

279
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: like he trust his players. That's really what it came

280
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: down to. They think they've out recruited and maybe out

281
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: athlete Washington, and they trust their guys to come through

282
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: on fourth down. They didn't. They didn't execute on fourth down.

283
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: Washington did. So I want to keep going back and

284
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: emphasizing this. They're not playing against air guys like Washington's.

285
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: Washington's allowed to try it. Those folks were allowed to

286
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: scream their heads off. They did, and they did and

287
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: both cases affirmative yesterday, and that's why they didn't get

288
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: it done. They didn't execute because Washington kept them from executing. Now,

289
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: in the Oregon circles, they'll probably look and say, if

290
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: we do what we're supposed to do, it doesn't matter

291
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: what Washington does. That's how competitors should think. I'm just

292
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: telling you it panned out the way it panned out.

293
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: There's no gavel to drop on the desk. There's no

294
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: one dude's an idiot, one dude's a hero. Like if

295
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: Oregon converts one of these things, we're talking different. It

296
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: may even have been a fifty five to forty five

297
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: proposition proposition edge Oregon and the forty five just happened

298
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: to run. The day could be totally different if they

299
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: play again. The biggest takeaway from me aside from that

300
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: is It used to be that if you were thirty

301
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: seven years old and you were a head coach for

302
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: the first time, you were probably at Toledo. You were

303
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: probably at Boise State because back in the day, Boise

304
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: State was not viewed as a premiere program. My point

305
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: is you were learning the lessons out of the spotlight.

306
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: In college football has evolved to the point where a

307
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: lot of guys get their first shot at Georgia Kirby Smart,

308
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: they get their first shot at Oklahoma, Lincoln Riley, Ohio State,

309
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: Ryan Day, or in this case Oregon Dan Lanning wonderful.

310
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: I'm all for it. It doesn't mean you just skip

311
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: the learning process or what I call the bloom phase.

312
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: The bloom phase is when you're becoming whatever you're going

313
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: to become, which is hopefully just a beautiful flower with

314
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: pedals in this case, multiple championships to your name. But

315
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: it doesn't magically just occur that you learn all the

316
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: lessons that your predecessors had to go off and learn

317
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: out of the white hot spotlight. No, you still got

318
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: to learn them. So, for instance, when it comes to

319
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: game management, if Dan Lanning could go back and do

320
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: it over again, well maybe he does kick the field

321
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: goal to go into the half. You know what that is.

322
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: It's a lesson learned. It's nothing more. It's nothing less,

323
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: it's not the dude's an idiot. And then if he

324
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: did it the other way and it didn't work out,

325
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: he's not aggressive enough, which, by the way, a lot

326
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: of folks speaking out of both sides in their mouth

327
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: today would absolutely have vocalized whether it worked out one

328
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 1: way or the other. So, I mean, if I were him,

329
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: I wouldn't really care about that. What I'd care about

330
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: is do an honest self assessment of me, which he

331
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 1: talked about in his postgame presser, and look at numbers,

332
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 1: because I know what the math says on that stuff.

333
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: The math says that doesn't work out. The math says

334
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 1: that's not the right move. I've always been very fascinated

335
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: at how differently analytics are applied sometimes in football as

336
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 1: opposed to baseball. And baseball, you know you've got one

337
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty two games in football, you know you've

338
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: got twelve, and in college football you can't afford to

339
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: lose virtually any of the games. And so how much

340
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: does gut come in, how much does momentum in game

341
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: come in, how much does momentary feel come in? And

342
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 1: outweigh analytics, and you know what, you get paid a

343
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 1: lot of money to make those decisions. A lot of

344
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: folks last night when the stadium was empty, we're talking

345
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: about whether we're going to see this game again. I

346
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe we will. I would not jump ahead

347
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: on that. PAC twelve's way too competitive this year to

348
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: just assume, well, that was round one. They're saying the

349
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 1: same thing in the Big twelve right now. Oh U Texas,

350
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: So that was round one and maybe it was. I

351
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 1: will tell you this, I wouldn't assume anything, but I

352
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 1: do think there's separation in the PAC twelve is just

353
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: not really where maybe the odds makers thought it was

354
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: going to be. The odds makers installed USC as the

355
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: preseason favorite. USC is not the first or second best

356
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: team in that conference right now. We'll talk about the

357
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: Trojans in just a second. Actually, Oregon and Washington, in

358
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 1: whichever order you want to put him in, are the

359
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: best teams out there. Not only that, I think there

360
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: may be some distance that's starting to form between number one,

361
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: number two and the rest of the pack, but it's

362
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: not so insurmountable as to be upset proof, and each

363
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: of them have several challenging games remaining the updated odds

364
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: to win the PAC twelve Washington number one or number two,

365
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: USC number three, pretty wide gap. And then it's Oregon State, Utah,

366
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: Washington State, UCLA. There was a portal showcase for the

367
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 1: PAC twelve. There was a This game was a transfer

368
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: portal showcase. You would have thought USC Colorado was that

369
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 1: because of how those rosters have been constructed. I think Washington,

370
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: Oregon was the transfer portal showcase. If you think about

371
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: where bo Nicks was a couple of years ago. He's

372
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: not at Auburn. He's been left for dead. Michael Pennix,

373
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 1: Is it Indiana can't stay healthy? Turnover prone dudes left

374
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: for dead as far as the National conversation is concerned.

375
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 1: And they hop in the portal and they head west

376
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,719
Speaker 1: and they go to Washington and Oregon, respectively, and you

377
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: find out the players were not trash at all. Maybe

378
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: in some cases their surroundings were, or maybe in some

379
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: cases their development was, or maybe in some cases they

380
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: just didn't have the right system. But I look at

381
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: this and and it's a testament, and it's a lesson

382
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: to be learned for dozens of other guys in the sport.

383
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: Just because it's not working out somewhere doesn't mean it's

384
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: not going to work out. Okay, with Bo Nicks and

385
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: Michael Pennick Junior. They could have sat there and wasted

386
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 1: away at Auburn and Indiana and gone on and sold insurance.

387
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: Not that there's anything wrong with that, but these dudes

388
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: have Sunday potential about them, and it wouldn't have been

389
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: realized had they not transferred. So I know everyone wants

390
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 1: to look at a guy who leaves a program and says,

391
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: always taken the easy way out. Sometimes the easy way

392
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: out is the smart way. And by the way, it's

393
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: never easy leaving a program. It's not as cut and

394
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: dry as that. Sometimes it's a real challenge to leave

395
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: a program that you committed to and you thought you

396
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: were going to spend the next three, four or five

397
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: years of your life there. Both of them made the

398
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 1: right decisions. Both of those staffs have made the most

399
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 1: out of it. So credit to both teams. What a

400
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: showcase they put on yesterday may very well not be

401
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: the last time we see them play, And if they

402
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: play again on that Friday night, in Las Vegas. That

403
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: is PAC twelve Championship game night. Consider me a viewer.

404
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: So that was where we were for week seven. The

405
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: Instagram story was on fire. If you're not following on Instagram,

406
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: don't know what else to tell you. You don't like free money,

407
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 1: you don't like behind the scenes content. I guess at

408
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: late kick Josh. Now that that's out of the way,

409
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: let me pull this up. I like to post this

410
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 1: simultaneous to us announcing it on the show. Week seven.

411
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 1: In the books, it was a wonderful time. Week eight,

412
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: once upon a Saturday tour. I won't beat around the bush.

413
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: We're headed to Columbus, Ohio Penn State at Ohio State.

414
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 1: You know what's beautiful about this? Again, this is not

415
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: my network, but I love the concept so much that

416
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: I tout it anyway. Big noon kickoff is in the building,

417
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: which means number one, we get to catch an afternoon

418
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: flight home, and number two, we get to head up

419
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: and see our friends in Columbus again. In number three,

420
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 1: we get to see a showdown we've been waiting for

421
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: all There are three games, round robin style that we've

422
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: been waiting on, and it involves Michigan. But it also

423
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 1: involves Penn State Ohio State, and they're all going to

424
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: play each other, and this is sort of round one.

425
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: Watch the landing there. The game has opened at Ohio

426
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 1: State minus four and a half. We are right now

427
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: on a run that has seen us go five consecutive

428
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: weeks of witnessing games come down to either the final

429
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 1: play or the final minute. Will it be six in

430
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 1: a row? Early signs point to yes. Of course, it's

431
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 1: really really tough to navigate. I will give you one

432
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: more little tease here, immunity. I am normally rolling solo

433
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 1: as far as a front facing talent. Now we got

434
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: Gelby on the road, we got coach Quinn on the road,

435
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 1: but normally you just see me, Jesse and Colin. I

436
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: have it on good authority that there will be a guest,

437
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 1: and I want to go as far as to say special,

438
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: but I have it on good authority there will be

439
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 1: a guest that tags along to Columbus, Ohio with me

440
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: this weekend. And hoops to say who it is? Really

441
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: anyone's guess right now, but so help me if that

442
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: guest tags along and this ends up being a thirty

443
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: eight seventeen blowout and I'm all about taking the credit

444
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 1: with none of the blame. You know where that blame's going,

445
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 1: So buyer beware. Let's move on. We've got so much

446
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: in the show tonight. We just you. Anybody who doubts

447
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: whether I'm pack twelve page. We just spent twenty minutes

448
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 1: on Oregon, Washington to open the show. Hold on a second.

449
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: Good for you, Josh, Good for you. Some have made

450
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 1: claims of sec homrism in the past. Not me, not me,

451
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: notre Dame just blew out USC yesterday forty eight to twenty.

452
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: I was parked at a bar in downtown Seattle watching

453
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: this go down, and I just had a little subtle

454
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 1: smile on my face. Now before the peristyle over at

455
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 1: USC five football dot Com freaks out and thinks that

456
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: I was rooting against you guys. No, I wasn't, but

457
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: I thought some things were in play here and they

458
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 1: ended up being validated. So you know that saying you

459
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: are what your record says you are, it's trash in

460
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: college football. It's trash. It always has been. It's very

461
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 1: much a case by case thing. People say it all

462
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: the time to sound cool. It's bumper sticker logic. It

463
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: passes the test of driving by you, but if you

464
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 1: think critically about it. So last week I come on

465
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 1: the show Tuesday, I dropped the JP pull and then

466
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: the piranhas go crazy. But you know what, no one

467
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: pointed out, No one. I'm surprised by this. No one

468
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: noticed last week that we had two lost Notre Dame

469
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: power rated above undefeated USC. You see the AP had

470
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: USC tenth. They had Notre Dame twenty first last week.

471
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: Couldn't be us, friends, couldn't be us. We had Notre

472
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 1: Dame fifteenth. We had USC all the way down at

473
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: seventeen that's been selling all at stock on USC. I

474
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 1: had some folks come at me last night and say, well, Josh,

475
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: everyone knew this was coming. No you didn't. You did

476
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: not everyone didn't know this was coming. The way I

477
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: know that is because this point spread sat still all week,

478
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: and and I had some folks call me out about

479
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: that power rating last week. So no, everyone didn't know this.

480
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: But to quickly tee this up and then let's dive

481
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: into this. Let's just hit the ree wine button. Colin

482
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: a few days ago, roll it to another potential odds

483
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: making clinic setting up because you got undefeated, top ten USC.

484
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,959
Speaker 1: Here you got the defending Heisman winner. They're going on

485
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,719
Speaker 1: the road to face two lost Notre Dame just lost

486
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: a Louisville. They scored a garbage time touchdown to even

487
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 1: get back to within two possessions. Notre Dames favored. Love

488
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,199
Speaker 1: the Irish this week, Love them to get right up

489
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: off the deck. I think they'll win the game. I

490
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 1: think they'll cover. I think there are some terminal issues

491
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: for you see in their defense right now. Sometimes we

492
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: nail it so much I have to fan myself. So

493
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: here's the thing. I got some good stuff to say

494
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 1: about USC. Listen to this. USC twenty three to thirteen

495
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,239
Speaker 1: first down edge. That's good job, guys. One thumb up,

496
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 1: way to go three two to two point fifty one

497
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 1: yardage advantage over Notre Dame. Excellent gold sticker for you.

498
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: They ran twenty five more plays. Control that ball, control

499
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: that clock, control of the game. They were six of

500
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 1: thirteen on third down. Notre Dame was only three of ten.

501
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: Those are badlock stats. Those are not padlock stats, cause

502
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: the padlock stat is minus five turnovers with another two

503
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:49,360
Speaker 1: turnovers on downs. It is Sarah McLaughlin's special time roll

504
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: at Colin. The drive chart for your USC Trojans last

505
00:26:53,600 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 1: night sounded as follows. Interception, punt, field goal, turnover on downs, interception, interception,

506
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: field goal, punt touchdown, woo, punt touchdown, whoo, turnover on downs, fumble, fumble.

507
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 1: Why are you quiet, Josh, Well, it's because that was

508
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: the end of the game. Caleb Williams threw three interceptions

509
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: last year. He threw three of them last night. And

510
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: it's not all his fault. Thank you, Sarah, thank you.

511
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: As always, it's not all his fault. He was running

512
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: for his life last night, and running was not something

513
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: that he did to the tune of a whole lot

514
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: of yardage. Talked about that as well. When you're physically

515
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 1: superior to a team, you just flex. And that's what

516
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: Notre Dame did last night. They were physically superior to

517
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: usse They knew it. Marcus Freeman knew it. Think pretty

518
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 1: soon the whole country knew it. And they just fly.

519
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: They just looked in the side of the mirror. They

520
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: puffed up that chest and they flexed. They had six sacks,

521
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: they had eleven tackles for loss. USC had one tackle

522
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 1: for law. Notre Dame's a good team, all the external

523
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: dynamics notwithstanding, like we told you, they were going to

524
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: lose to Louisville last week. It was a horrible spot

525
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 1: for him. Now, I'm a believer kind of psychologically in

526
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 1: this thing. I can't prove it, I can't quantify it,

527
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: but when you are when you're on a run like

528
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 1: Notre Dame was, they played Ohio State right down to

529
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: the wire, they lost, They go to Duke and it's

530
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,439
Speaker 1: right down to the wire and they win. By the

531
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: third week, you're trying to get college kids up for

532
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: a third consecutive week emotionally, and you're facing another team

533
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: and it's their super Bowl. It was just a bad

534
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: spot for him. However, I'm a believer that once the

535
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: bomb goes off, once the loss happens in that stretch,

536
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:46,239
Speaker 1: the reset button is hit. So it's not purely a

537
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: physical exhaustion thing. This is my philosophy on this. If

538
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: it were purely a physical exhaustion thing, they would have

539
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: still been running on empty last night. They weren't. They

540
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: looked like they had been shot out of a cannon,

541
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: and they were the ones forcing all the mistakes, the

542
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: ones living in the opponent's backfield. So I don't know

543
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: anyone out there who understands the intricacies of the human

544
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: mind and psyche. If you want to pair up and

545
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: let's work on something, and let's try and put some

546
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: data behind this in the what the casuals will call

547
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: the off season, we can work on that defense. Special teams.

548
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: US is a fragile team. They're a hollow team. USC

549
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: feels like a hollow team kind of offense gets all

550
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: the attention out there, seemingly at the expense of defense,

551
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: seemingly at the expense of special teams. I know in

552
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: reality they practice all this stuff like everyone else does.

553
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: But you become what you're intentional about. They're not intentional

554
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: about being good defensively. They are not intentional about being

555
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: rock solid on special teams, because if they were intentional

556
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: about it, they wouldn't accept this. And again, I'm not

557
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: suggesting Lincoln Riley has his feet propped up watching this replay,

558
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: watching this film today, going ugh, oh, well, what can

559
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: you do. I'm not suggesting that. I'm just suggesting there's

560
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: a physicality and there's a mentality that you have to

561
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: play this game with to win at the highest levels

562
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: or compete at the highest levels. They don't have it.

563
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: USC does not have that it And they're about to

564
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: go to the Big ten next year. And I say

565
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: that like the Pac twelve some joke this year. That's

566
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: why they're probably not done losing in the Pac twelve

567
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: this year. Need to understand something. They had layups the

568
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: first half dozen games of their season. That's done now,

569
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,959
Speaker 1: Like last night was the start of the downhill slope

570
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: of the roller coaster. They got Utah, they got Washington,

571
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: they got Oregon, they got UCLA. All these teams can

572
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: beat them. Every one of those teams can beat them

573
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: if they don't find something inside themselves pretty quick. It's

574
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: until further notice. It feels like there's a restrictor plate

575
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: on the USC program, kind of self imposed too, cause

576
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: Southern cal can be whatever they want to be. Lincoln

577
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: Riley can have whatever kind of staff he wants to have.

578
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: He's chosen to have what he has right now, and

579
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: therefore the product is what it is right now. Shouldn't

580
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: be a surprise. Some of the struggles they're having right

581
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: now are the same struggles that he had at Oklahoma.

582
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: Now you flip that coin over. I'm also always the

583
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: one to say, as I've said a million times before,

584
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: so this will be a million and one. Just because

585
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: something hasn't been yet doesn't mean it can't be. Lincoln

586
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: Riley's still a pretty young coach. Maybe he evolves himself.

587
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: I hope he evolves himself, you know. To get selfish

588
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: on you for a second. It's in my best interest

589
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: for USC to be good financially, it's in our best

590
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: interest for them to be good. But I'm not going

591
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: to say her lie to you about him. We have

592
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: too many other things to talk about on the show.

593
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: So Notre Dame hats off. Notre Dame can still be

594
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: a really good team this year. I think they are

595
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: a really good team. I just think they I just

596
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: think football happened to them. I think football happened and

597
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: they all football happened last night as well, like all

598
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: that that just happened over the past few weeks. That's

599
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: how this game actually works. That's how the external factors

600
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: come in play. That's how bounce of ball happens. That's

601
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: how the randomization of turnovers can bite you one way

602
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: or the other. That's football, Academy, sports and outdoors is

603
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: more than that, though, it is life has anyone used

604
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: that tagline? Hold on a second? Academy Sports and Outdoors.

605
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: It's more than football, it's life. I'm gonna text that

606
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: to them tomorrow. So a lot of you tailgate. I

607
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 1: witnessed saialegating yesterday. I'm not quite sure you could use

608
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: an Academy tent on the open water, although there are

609
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: other products at Academy you could use on the open water.

610
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: But most of you tailgate on dry land. It's fair

611
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: either way. It's your constitutional right to do so. I

612
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: just encourage you guys to shop Academy before you do it.

Speaker 1: Academy has got everything you need. You also happen to

00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: and that's because of Academy Sports and Outdoors. If you

617
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: ever wonder, which you probably don't, but if you ever

618
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: find yourself wandering, hmmm, why don't I have to pay

619
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: for this show? But other shows I have to pay

620
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: for Academy. That's the reason we appreciate them. And also

621
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: the answer to where should I go from my outdoor

622
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: sporting good supplies and then some academy, that's where you

623
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: should go. And the answer to the question of what

624
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: if I don't have an academy in my location, where

625

630
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: Our lifelong partners here. That's not in writing. They don't

631
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: technically have to be our partner for life, but it's

632
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: how I think of us an academy. Let's move on.

633
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: We got a lot of games to talk about. Why

634
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: not let's talk about ten se Let me take a

635
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: little sip of coffee about to fall asleep. No cream,

636
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 1: no sugar, don't need to church it up, just black coffee,

637
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:15,760
Speaker 1: the way God intended it to be. Tennessee beat Texas

638
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 1: A and M twenty to thirteen yesterday. To me, the

639
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 1: style of this game was so easy to see coming.

640
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: You know how rarely we bet totals on this show,

641
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: and we bet a total, and we bet it pretty

642
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 1: early last week. And the total in this game was

643
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 1: I think fifty six and a half or we got

644
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 1: it at fifty six that's where the number was. The

645
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: winner of this game was a little bit harder to

646
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: figure out. We ended up picking Tennessee. We got that

647
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 1: one right. But the style of the game, Colin, let's

648
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,720
Speaker 1: hit that rewind button again. There is a recipe here,

649
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: and it is a recipe for a low scoring game.

650
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: I'm confident in the under I'll go ahead and give

651
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,879
Speaker 1: you a little preview. Now, that's one of the best

652
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: bets of this week. Yeah, your final here was twenty

653
00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: to thirteen. Maybe now to figure it out what kind

654
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 1: of football team Tennessee actually is. Vall's won yesterday. This

655
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: is not your memas Tennessee. This is not your me

656
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 1: Mo's Josh Hypel led team. Do you do you realize

657
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: I didn't write it down. I have to pick this

658
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 1: out a memory. This was the first game in Hypel's

659
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: history as a head coach his team has scored under

660
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: thirty and he won. What. Yeah, so that bears repeating,

661
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do it. You can rewind if you

662
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: want to hear it again. Tennessee is not the Tennessee

663
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 1: you think they are. Maybe you finally watched him yesterday

664
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: like we told you to do, and you see Tennessee

665
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: is a run the ball, play solid defense, and hopefully

666
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 1: hit a couple of shots down field. Type of offense

667
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: and type of football team. That's who they are, and

668
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: they're good enough to win a lot of games that way.

669
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,720
Speaker 1: Right now, they out rushed A and M two thirty

670
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 1: two to fifty four. I cannot overstate how impressive that

671
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 1: stat is. Miami beat A and M earlier this year.

672
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: They ran it for seventy seven yards. Bama just beat

673
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 1: A and M. They could not run the ball to

674
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: save their lives. So the teams that have beaten ANM

675
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: even this year couldn't run it on them. Tennessee ran

676
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 1: it for over two one hundred and thirty yards. That

677
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: is your padlock stat. So paper pop number one, paper

678
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: pop number two. This is a padlock stat and then some.

679
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 1: According to our friends at Pro Football Focus, Texas A

680
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:32,720
Speaker 1: and M quarterback Max Johnson was pressured on twenty five

681
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 1: of thirty nine dropbacks, and that includes eleven QB hits.

682
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: Tennessee may have the best defensive front in the league.

683
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: No one saw it coming, no one expected it because

684
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: no one paid attention to it. They had upgraded their

685
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 1: defensive talent acquisition and no one had paid attention to

686
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 1: it because people think Josh Heipel Tennessee air raid, throw

687
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 1: the ball all over the place. None of that is

688
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: what they are right now. And they got Bama this week.

689
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,280
Speaker 1: They got Bama this week. Tennessee's so fascinating. Like yesterday,

690
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 1: they had thirteen points out of five trips to the

691
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: red zone. That's terrible. They shouldn't win that game, but

692
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,359
Speaker 1: they did. They found ways because it's a complimentary team.

693
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 1: Right now, they are second to the Listen to what

694
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 1: I'm about to say. Tennessee is second to last in

695
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 1: the SEC in explosive play rate right now. They can't

696
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 1: throw the ball down the field, they can't stretch the

697
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: field vertically, but they're finding ways to win because they're

698
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 1: a complimentary football team. Joe Milton is who he is

699
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: at this point, and in some cases they're having to

700
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 1: work around that, but they are because they're good enough

701
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: and they're complimentary enough to do that. Now, check that calendar, kids,

702
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 1: it's the third Saturday in October. If you don't know

703
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: what that means, ask your parents. Tennessee. Alabama's back this

704
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: time last year. I was trying to convince you that

705
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: this was a premier rivalry. Then you saw what happened

706
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: to neland now maybe you don't need convince anymore. Well,

707
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: this year it happens down in Tuscaloosa. Bama is a

708
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: nine point favorite against Tennessee. You think that's high, don't

709
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: you be careful? Think matchups. We're gonna break the game

710
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: down Tuesday night. Think matchups before you just go blindly betting.

711
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: Make sure you know who and what each team is

712
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 1: and are. What's gonna happen to Jimbo Fisher? That's the question.

713
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: If I got DM to that question one time, I

714
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 1: got DMed fifty thousand times. This has got to be

715
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: what Billy Luci feels like. So let me measure my

716
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: words carefully. I feel like we're at a tipping point

717
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 1: with Jimbo. I think something's gonna happen. This is their

718
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 1: eighth consecutive loss on the road. They've lost three already.

719
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 1: They're probably not done losing. They still got South Carolina,

720
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 1: they got a road game at Old Miss, they got

721
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: Mississippi State, they got a road game at LSU. They're

722
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: not good enough to beat all those teams, and frankly,

723
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 1: they're probably just not gonna be good enough to do

724
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: what they should do at Texas A and M. Now,

725
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 1: you know, I look at this program differently. A lot

726
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: of folks look at them and since they haven't won

727
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: national titles or SEC titles, they think that they're equal

728
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: to other programs that haven't done that. The difference is,

729
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: there is no external factor keeping A and M from

730
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: being a premier program. Everything that's keeping A and M

731
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: from being a premier program is internal. All due respect

732
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 1: to Missouri, there are external factors working against Missouri. There

733
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: is no external factor working against Texas A and M.

734
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 1: It's all they're doing, and I think it's gonna end

735
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,720
Speaker 1: up being their undoing or something they need to undo

736
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 1: and fix. Seven and five is the most likely scenario

737
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 1: I would say right now for this team the rest

738
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: of the year, they will not have had a double

739
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 1: digit win season in the six years that Jimbo's been there.

740
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: I just feel like we're kind of at a tipping

741
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 1: point here, you know, the old seesaw effect. Eventually you

742
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: put enough weight on the other side, there's your tipping point.

743
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: It's nothing completely special about what happened yesterday. It's not

744
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 1: like you woke up, It's not like I woke up

745
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: yesterday morning and thought Jimbo's good enough. Five hours later, No,

746
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,839
Speaker 1: he's not good enough anymore. No four quarter football game

747
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: does that to me. But I'm not the one making

748
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 1: the decision. I feel like probably straw that broke the

749
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,919
Speaker 1: camel's back is a firm way to describe this game

750
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: yesterday in the eyes of a lot of A and

751
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: M power brokers, not all of them. This is not

752
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:39,879
Speaker 1: a consensus held opinion, I would imagine amongst all of them.

753
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 1: But I know enough to know those folks are not

754
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: gonna let that dollar figure be the end all be

755
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: all on this, even if it's in the seventy plus

756
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 1: million dollar range there. If they're steadfast enough, that's not

757
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 1: gonna stand in a way, which is a wild thing.

758
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: I know. If you're new to college footootball, or if

759
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: you're just listening because someone you're close too loves college

760
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 1: football and you know nothing about this sport and you

761
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,319
Speaker 1: just happen to hear my voice right now, and I

762
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 1: just told you a seventy five million dollar checks not

763
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: going to stand in the way of firing someone. Yeah,

764
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: you heard me right. We pay folks tens of millions

765
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: of dollars to go away in this sport, and it

766
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 1: may happen down in college station. This would be the

767
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: story of college football. If the Texas A and M

768
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 1: job were to come open, I have no knowledge that

769
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 1: it's going to so this is purely hypothetical. If the

770
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 1: Texas A and M job were to come open, you

771
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 1: would quickly realize the coaching industry views the A and

772
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,839
Speaker 1: M job way different than fans do. Fans look at

773
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 1: the A and M job as a second or third

774
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: tier job. You are outside your mind. Everything you need

775
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: to win national championships is there also. I'm not talking potential,

776
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: it's literally there. It is a turnkey contender for the

777
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: right staff. The right staff comes in there and wins overnight.

778
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: With the pieces that have already been assembled and the

779
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 1: infrastructure that's already been built. It is an immaculate place

780
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: to visit. It is a wonderful program. It is ideally located,

781
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 1: it's ideally built, it's situated the right way, it's got

782
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: the right support, it's got a really good root system.

783
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: All of the above, every box is checked. So what's

784
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:28,800
Speaker 1: gonna happen? What is going to happen there? I'm just

785
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,360
Speaker 1: leaving it blank, like I'm letting you answer the question

786
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,800
Speaker 1: right now in your own mind. Tennessee Bama this week, though,

787
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,359
Speaker 1: Tennessee Bama this week, Let's get ready for that. Uh.

788
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: Moving on, another game here to talk about, got several

789
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: to talk about. Yeah, I've had someone in the live

790
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: chat ask about Miami. Oh, yeah, we're gonna We're gonna

791
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,839
Speaker 1: talk about him in just a second. Don't worry, don't worry.

792
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 1: We're not gonna dodge it. But first, something monumental happened

793
00:42:56,040 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 1: last night. Yeah, immunity. Florida did the unthinkable. Florida forty one,

794
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 1: South Carolina thirty nine. Florida, who could not beat Air

795
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: on the road lately, not only goes on the road

796
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 1: and gets a win. They beat South Carolina in October,

797
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 1: which to me is one of the most herculean feats

798
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 1: that I've seen this college football season. I don't want

799
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: to say Florida is the favorite to win the SEC

800
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 1: East now, but it's really close. If you can do this,

801
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: you can do anything. This unbelievable tip of the cap.

802
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 1: This is only partial sarcasm, by the way, this is

803
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: a really big win for them. And then I had

804
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 1: a bunch of Florida folks, fill my DMS and say

805
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 1: Coctober is Coctober. That was beautifully articulated, so much so

806
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: that I had to deliver it on the show and

807
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: speak for you guys. Florida was down ten with nine

808
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 1: minutes left. Like I think most of the world thought,

809
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 1: here we go again. I think maybe a lot of

810
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: Florida fans thought here we go again. Graham Mertz said,

811
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 1: m M, you brought me in from Wisconsin. I dreamed

812
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 1: about nights like this. Thirty forty eight, four hundred and

813
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: twenty three yards and three touchdowns. How do you feel

814
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 1: when Graham Merz drops over four hundred on your head?

815
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: You got to ask a South Carolina defender that Ricky

816
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: Piersoll is a grown man. Piersall is a good player man.

817
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: He's been a good player long before last night, but

818
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: it was good to see him ten catches, one hundred

819
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: and sixty six yards in a touchdown. Piersol very acrobatic.

820
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: He can make the wow play for you as well.

821
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:39,280
Speaker 1: You noticed Graham Mertz, Ricky Piersol, both those guys are transfers.

822
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 1: Got another promotional poster for the transfer portal here. They

823
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 1: needed this in the worst way. Here's the thing. A

824
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: lot of this won't shock you. A lot of fan

825
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: opinion shifts game to game. We always see that there's

826
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: a thirty percent chunk of your fan base that could

827
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 1: have their opinion one eight on you over the span

828
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: of four quarters. I'm not personally that way, but a

829
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: lot of people are that way. So the thirty percent

830
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: that we're ready to sell you down the river if

831
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: you lose forty one to thirty nine, or ready to

832
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 1: say the program's headed in the right direction if you

833
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 1: win forty one to thirty nine. Well, here's the thing.

834
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 1: The Florida program is headed in the right direction. You know,

835
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 1: they currently have the number three recruiting class in the

836
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 1: country for next cycle. Good players are on the way.

837
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 1: Some good players are already there. They need more of them.

838
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 1: They had walk They had a walk on a wide

839
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 1: receiver last night. So yeah, to say that we're going

840
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:36,720
Speaker 1: shot for shot with Georgia and the talent department probably

841
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 1: a little premature, but they're on their way. But this

842
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:44,320
Speaker 1: is like, it's the baby giraffe effect. Not every program

843
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 1: just starts year one under a new head coach beating

844
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: their chest, ready to compete for Championships. If you've ever

845
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: watched a baby giraffe try and gain its footing, I

846
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 1: regret not telling director Colin to find footage of this.

847
00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 1: It can be iffy, it can be tough. Giraffes first

848
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 1: few times they try and stand on those little pencils

849
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:08,720
Speaker 1: they call legs, they're wobbly, they fall down. It's it's

850
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 1: it's hard to watch, but it's necessary. So you lose

851
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 1: to Utah, you get run over by Kentucky, You're just

852
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,800
Speaker 1: You're just the giraffe that fell down, your little baby giraffe.

853
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: But you ever seen a full grown giraffe? I frequented

854
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:26,800
Speaker 1: Toys r Us when I was a kid. Trust me,

855
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 1: I've seen plenty of full grown giraffes. And also at

856
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:34,360
Speaker 1: Golden Park in Columbus, Georgia, Pine Mountain Wild Animal Safari

857
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 1: bought sponsorships for the foul poles once upon a time,

858
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:42,839
Speaker 1: so they made the foul poles giraffes necks because they

859
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:46,839
Speaker 1: had giraffes in Harris County, Georgia. Yes they did in captivity,

860
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 1: of course. The giraffe neck does not do like the

861
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 1: oracle whales tail. The giraffe neck does not like tilt

862
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:58,439
Speaker 1: over the longer. It's in captivity, thank the Lord. But yeah,

863
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: so I know all about giraffes. I know this giraft

864
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 1: down in Gainesville could find its footing given time, possibly

865
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 1: the most out of context late kick line of the

866
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: night time. Like Whody in the Blowfish once told you time,

867
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 1: that's what we need. Will they have enough of it? Well,

868
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:16,720
Speaker 1: this is the kind that buys you at least another

869
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:18,880
Speaker 1: week of worth the time. South Carolina is two and

870
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: four right now. It does not get any easier. Here's

871
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:24,439
Speaker 1: the bad news. Okay, I guess that's the good news.

872
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 1: They've got two wins. The bad news is they were

873
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 1: off a bye last night. This is it. That was

874
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 1: your last chance to get back up and grab some air.

875
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:33,800
Speaker 1: Now you got to go back down. You got to

876
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 1: face Missouri on the road. Oh, by the way, they

877
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: got one loss. You got to go to A and M.

878
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 1: You got Jacksonville State, that's the team you choose to

879
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 1: play from the lower ranks. Then you get Vandy, then

880
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 1: you get Kentucky, then you get Clemson. Woof. So that

881
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: weird thing I told you that happens sometimes when coaches

882
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 1: start losing, and then people come to me to ask

883
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 1: what you think about it now, like I am Shane

884
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:06,360
Speaker 1: Beemer's keeper. Well, they started doing it last night about

885
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 1: Shane Beemer. So I'll give you the answer you asked me,

886
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:10,359
Speaker 1: what do you think about Shane Beemer now? Think he's

887
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:14,439
Speaker 1: got a bad football team this year? That's it. Still

888
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 1: think the same thing I thought of him when he

889
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 1: was overachieving the last couple of years. I don't think

890
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 1: that he forgot how to coach. I don't think he

891
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 1: got worse as a coach. I think you need to

892
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 1: be real with yourselves and define what the expectation level

893
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 1: at South Carolina should be. Now that's where people don't

894
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:34,839
Speaker 1: want to go. It might as well be a dead

895
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 1: end road of conversation for a lot of people because

896
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:40,880
Speaker 1: everyone everyone wants to think of their place as a

897
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:43,920
Speaker 1: place where you can do what George is doing. You

898
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 1: could do what Alabama's done. Well. Not every place is

899
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 1: like that. In fact, a vast majority of them are not.

900
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:53,400
Speaker 1: Far more often the case is, you ought to be

901
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 1: pleased with eight win, nine win, and then if you

902
00:48:58,440 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: have to have a bump in the road, you have

903
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 1: a bump in the road. That doesn't mean progress isn't happening.

904
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 1: It just means when the bottom falls out or when

905
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 1: you have a flat tire. Any given year, Programs like

906
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 1: South Carolina don't have run flats. They don't just cruise

907
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 1: to ten wins even in a down year. That's not

908
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:17,919
Speaker 1: where they are right now. You're seeing a down year

909
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: right now. That's what it looks like. More l's than

910
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: dubs on there right now. I'm not saying you stand pat,

911
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: you don't make change as you're constantly evaluating. I don't

912
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:28,320
Speaker 1: have to say that for them to know that, obviously,

913
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 1: But it's like this whole game to game thing again,

914
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 1: Like South Carolina wins this game last night, and there

915
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 1: are people who are blasting Beamer and his staff today

916
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 1: who would be telling you ardently, oh, they're on the

917
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 1: right they're on the right course coming out of that

918
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 1: bye week. Who got some stuff figured out? Coctober, Baby Coctober.

919
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: Maybe October is Coctober for one year, But I will

920
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: see you all here again next year. Florida and Georgia

921
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 1: in two weeks. That's it. They gotta buy, so both

922
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 1: of them have the hay in the barn to this point,

923
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 1: down in Jacksonville, two weeks Florida Georgia. Anybody buying it, anybody.

924
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:10,920
Speaker 1: We'll see Florida has five wins. I just want to

925
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 1: kindly remind you they're over underwin total was five and

926
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 1: a half. Well, well, well next up. That's that time,

927
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,880
Speaker 1: and of course by that, I mean time to apply

928
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 1: my chapstick. Goodbye two points and goodbye Miami. North Carolina

929
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 1: beat Miami forty one to thirty one. A lot of

930
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 1: that was garbage time points. Don't be fooled. It wasn't

931
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 1: as close as the score indicates. North Carolina's really good.

932
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 1: I don't know what else to tell you. This is

933
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:46,360
Speaker 1: a legitimate championship contender. What for the acc Nah? Nah,

934
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 1: they're in the big conversation right now, as crazy as

935
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:52,799
Speaker 1: that is to say they're in the big conversation. Now

936
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 1: here's what happened. Miami was up at halftime, but that

937
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:01,400
Speaker 1: is only part of the book. Kids. You need to

938
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:04,439
Speaker 1: flip read the next few chapters. Those chapters have North

939
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:08,360
Speaker 1: Carolina going twenty four to nothing to start the second half.

940
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of Drake may hype coming

941
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:14,800
Speaker 1: into this game. Rightfully, so premier quarterback, big time talent.

942
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:20,360
Speaker 1: That is not even what I took away. I was

943
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:23,879
Speaker 1: at a little place called Cactus in downtown Seattle last night.

944
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,880
Speaker 1: Great little Mexican place. Should have been more crowded than

945
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:29,799
Speaker 1: it was, but I wasn't complaining. So there I am

946
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:33,920
Speaker 1: at Cactus, and I'm watching two games at once, because

947
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 1: I did have the bartender put one TV on Utsauab

948
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 1: for reasons we'll get into later. But we also had

949
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:47,920
Speaker 1: North Carolina Miami on, and I'm sitting there thinking to myself, well,

950
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: at least Miami can lean on their run defense, right

951
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 1: it's number two in the country. And then North Carolina

952
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 1: rips a runoff, and then another run, and then another,

953
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 1: and lo and behold. By the time the dust clears,

954
00:51:56,520 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 1: North carolina'shung two thirty five on the ground. What happened?

955
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 1: North Carolina? Happened? They're really good. You can either choose

956
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:06,399
Speaker 1: to say, oh man, we just had a down game.

957
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:08,320
Speaker 1: We shot ourselves in the foot. They shot you in

958
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:11,760
Speaker 1: the foot and the knee and the thigh and the chest.

959
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 1: They ran over you, North Carolina, ow the line of scrimmage.

960
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:18,359
Speaker 1: Just didn't see it coming. I didn't see myself saying

961
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 1: that sentence this year, frankly, and also defensively. Right now,

962
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:25,800
Speaker 1: they've gotten off the deck. They don't have to be elite.

963
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:29,280
Speaker 1: The rule, if you got the offensive talent and firepower

964
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 1: they've got is you just need to be opportunistic and

965
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 1: good enough defensively. They're forty second in points per game allowed.

966
00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:37,839
Speaker 1: They're twenty ninth in rush yards per game allowed. That's

967
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:42,840
Speaker 1: good enough. That's good enough situational football plus pretty good

968
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 1: defensive statistics. That's good enough. Miami needed a mistake free

969
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:50,719
Speaker 1: game here to rebound from the catastrophe against Georgia Tech.

970
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 1: They did not have that. They were minus four turnovers.

971
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what to say. I think there is

972
00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:01,239
Speaker 1: a good team somewhere here, not in the future. I

973
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:04,879
Speaker 1: think the twenty twenty three version of Miami somewhere. If

974
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:07,799
Speaker 1: we can sift through all this, there is a good team.

975
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:11,879
Speaker 1: There's a good performance to be had. Maybe it'll come

976
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 1: Saturday versus Clemson. But they needed it to come last

977
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:17,400
Speaker 1: night and they didn't get it. And you can't be

978
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:20,399
Speaker 1: making mistakes against Georgia Tech or North Carolina. They may

979
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 1: just beat you anyway, but especially when they're taking the

980
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:25,440
Speaker 1: ball away from you, they're gonna beat you. And that

981
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 1: is the problem with losing to Georgia Tech. You dropped

982
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 1: this game last night. It's your first conference loss. You

983
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 1: still got everything to play for now, not your second

984
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 1: conference loss. You're not gonna play for the ACC championship. Now.

985
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:41,719
Speaker 1: You got to redefine your your goals because you're not

986
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 1: gonna You're not gonna be able to be in the

987
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:46,400
Speaker 1: mix for that. I think there's still a year away

988
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:50,359
Speaker 1: in several areas of this team. I'm not gonna, you know,

989
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 1: continue to beat a dead horse. But obviously this happens.

990
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:57,800
Speaker 1: I leaned Miami to win. For the record, the Model

991
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 1: was not higher on it any team last week than

992
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 1: it was on North Carolina. Information I kept from you

993
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:09,200
Speaker 1: on the show. The model loved North Carolina, loved it,

994
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:12,759
Speaker 1: and I ignored it, and the model won this one.

995
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:15,359
Speaker 1: The model wins the battles against me. I normally win

996
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:17,920
Speaker 1: the war against the model, because if it continues to

997
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:20,919
Speaker 1: beat me, I'll just shut it down. I either win

998
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 1: contests or I quit them because they're unfair. That's one

999
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 1: of the rules on the show. Another rule is I've

1000
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:30,520
Speaker 1: never had a wrong prediction. I've either been right or kids,

1001
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:34,120
Speaker 1: coaches or officials have screwed it up, and I maintained

1002
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 1: that with a straight face. I maintained that. So I

1003
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:42,920
Speaker 1: think there's a good team here, but that's potential and

1004
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:45,839
Speaker 1: maybe in the future. North Carolina's good right now, And

1005
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:50,880
Speaker 1: mind you, I haven't spoken about a certain individual on

1006
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 1: the North Carolina Tar Hills football team until right now.

1007
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 1: I wanted to save this for the end. You remember,

1008
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 1: before the season started, there was this name I got

1009
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:05,440
Speaker 1: pretty worked up about. I don't have any plans to

1010
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:08,799
Speaker 1: apologize for it either. Tes Walker remember that name. Yeah.

1011
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 1: N Cuba says you cannot play football this year, and

1012
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:17,239
Speaker 1: everyone says why and they say, can't get a waivers.

1013
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:20,840
Speaker 1: He's transferred twice, Yeah, guys, but he didn't play but

1014
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 1: once because there was COVID that shut down the year

1015
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:26,279
Speaker 1: where he was up here. Blah blah blah. So yeah,

1016
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 1: you remember all that, and then they tell him you

1017
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:32,359
Speaker 1: can't play. And then randomly last week they come out

1018
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 1: and say, oh wait, wait, never mind, he can and

1019
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 1: then they try and feed you some garbage about how

1020
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:43,280
Speaker 1: he misfiled paperworker, didn't include proper information. Clown show. Anyway,

1021
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 1: last night, can you imagine NCAA officials watching tes Walker

1022
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 1: six catches one hundred and thirty two yards three touchdowns.

1023
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 1: I picture strong Warden Norton energy from Shaw Shank. These

1024
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:01,479
Speaker 1: are not people who are ever out for the best

1025
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:05,000
Speaker 1: interest student athletes to begin with. In fact, they invented

1026
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:09,400
Speaker 1: the term student athlete. So henceforth we will just refer

1027
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 1: to people like tes Walker as ballers, because that's what

1028
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 1: he was last night. Anybody at NCAA headquarters who doesn't

1029
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:20,120
Speaker 1: understand what that means, I will send you, will send

1030
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:23,239
Speaker 1: you a helpful dictionary later. But tes Walker goes off

1031
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:26,520
Speaker 1: last night, and I just I know I was in Seattle.

1032
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 1: I would love to have been in Indianapolis. Most of

1033
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 1: those folks probably went to bed before eight thirty, before

1034
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 1: this game was over, But I would have loved as

1035
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:36,200
Speaker 1: they sip their warm milk to toast with them and say,

1036
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 1: look at our guy. Here, look at our guy. And

1037
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 1: they're over there with sullen faces. NCAA officials are the

1038
00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 1: only people in the United States that have no smile wrinkles,

1039
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:50,359
Speaker 1: no matter how old they get. But I sure did

1040
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 1: last night. I love watching this so good for North Carolina.

1041
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 1: They are rolling right now, really dangerous team, and they

1042
00:56:57,160 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 1: have the following. This is what's stands between them and

1043
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:06,240
Speaker 1: potentially going to the playoff. They have Virginia at Georgia

1044
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:11,640
Speaker 1: Tech Campbell. They're playing the Camels. They have Duke at home.

1045
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 1: Then they go too Clemson and two NC State and

1046
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:19,880
Speaker 1: then it would potentially be the ACC championship game. You

1047
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 1: see all of a sudden, how real it becomes. It

1048
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 1: could happen. Colin, take another shot for a second. It's

1049
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:29,919
Speaker 1: time to do it for the first time this year.

1050
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 1: JP Angels in the outfield. It could happen. We are

1051
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 1: flapping for the tar Heels. This is for you, Katie.

1052
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 1: It could happen. Let's do some added takeaways from yesterday

1053
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 1: and last night. And they're watching us in Hayden, Idaho.

1054
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:51,200
Speaker 1: New Smyrna Beach, Florida is tuned in Calgary, Alberta, Canada,

1055
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 1: and Greenville, South Carolina. A ton of people in the

00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:26,320
Speaker 1: box up in Washington yesterday before our game kicked off,

1065
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:29,120
Speaker 1: and I'm watching Bama and they go up twenty four

1066
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 1: to six, and someone says to me, Oh, looks like

1067
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:35,560
Speaker 1: Bama's taking care of business today, and I said, stick around.

1068
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:38,440
Speaker 1: I don't. I think that's one of the most dangerous

1069
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:41,840
Speaker 1: scores in football. If you don't have pull away potential,

1070
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 1: which Alabama doesn't this year, twenty four to six is

1071
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:49,680
Speaker 1: so misleading. It is a two possession game or it's yeah,

1072
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:53,360
Speaker 1: it's it is not out of reach, that's what it's not.

1073
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:56,360
Speaker 1: And so yesterday it's a three possession game. I bet

1074
00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 1: Alabama found out how quickly that gap could close. It's

1075
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:03,040
Speaker 1: what they found out. So they collectively take their foot

1076
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:05,440
Speaker 1: off the gas. Arkansas just doesn't stop fighting because they'll

1077
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:09,360
Speaker 1: never stop fighting. And what ended up happening was Vama

1078
00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 1: has to stave off Arkansas, and they did. I saw

1079
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 1: Cublic earlier today missing in action last week on the show.

1080
00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:21,440
Speaker 1: I saw Kublic earlier today on Twitter saying this is

1081
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 1: kind of a shot play offense. Now, it's pretty much

1082
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:26,240
Speaker 1: what they are. Try and run the ball, won't do

1083
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 1: a very good job of it, but still need to

1084
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 1: stay committed to it and then hope to hit a

1085
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 1: seventy yard pass downfield. And that's the Alabam offense right now.

1086
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 1: They're still good enough defensively to where it can work,

1087
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:42,480
Speaker 1: but it's very it's very prone to droughts, and they

1088
00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 1: had a drought in the second half year day. I

1089
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:46,280
Speaker 1: think they scored three points so or they did, I

1090
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 1: don't did they score in the second half. If they did,

1091
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 1: it wasn't much. So Arkansas has lost five straight games

1092
00:59:52,760 --> 01:00:00,720
Speaker 1: by totals of seven, three, twelve, seven and three. You

1093
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:04,480
Speaker 1: want to know what would really have them shook? If

1094
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 1: I were to tell them we got Arkansas Power rated

1095
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:08,960
Speaker 1: thirtieth in the JP pole right now and they're two

1096
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 1: and five because we factor in quality of competition there

1097
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:16,240
Speaker 1: and Arkansas's pretty good team. And then I dug in

1098
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 1: further more today, did you know that we have Arkansas

1099
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:22,640
Speaker 1: Power rated higher than Iowa or Wisconsin, which means we

1100
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 1: would have Arkansas favored to win the Big Ten West

1101
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:28,280
Speaker 1: right now as is right now, we would have them

1102
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 1: favorite to win the Big Ten West. This was their

1103
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:33,120
Speaker 1: fourth game on the road in four weeks, because one

1104
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:35,560
Speaker 1: of them was a neutral site game in Dallas. Should

1105
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:39,080
Speaker 1: never happen, but it happened. Next up, I need you

1106
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:42,640
Speaker 1: to pay attention to me. I think I don't know,

1107
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:47,680
Speaker 1: but I think I know. Maybe paper pop time in Manhattan, Kansas.

1108
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 1: Just let's tiptoe here, because if I'm wrong, I don't

1109
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:54,040
Speaker 1: want this thrown back in my face. I think Kansas

1110
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:56,680
Speaker 1: State may have found something yesterday they won thirty eight

1111
01:00:56,680 --> 01:01:00,880
Speaker 1: to twenty one over Texas Tech. And we're always looking

1112
01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 1: for the ignition moment in the middle of seasons. We're

1113
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 1: always looking for that engine to turn over for some

1114
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:09,480
Speaker 1: of these teams we thought would be contenders. It may

1115
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:13,439
Speaker 1: have happened for Kansas State yesterday. They ran the ball

1116
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 1: all day long, two hundred and seventy two yards on

1117
01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:19,440
Speaker 1: the ground, five touchdowns, rushing all five of them by

1118
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 1: the quarterback who Will Howard. Nah Avery Johnson replaced Will

1119
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:29,120
Speaker 1: Howard not because of injury, but because of coach's decision.

1120
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:33,920
Speaker 1: Avery Johnson is he is a baller. Avery Johnson is

1121
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 1: a really good athlete, like a phenomenally good athlete. We

1122
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:39,400
Speaker 1: saw him at Lead eleven two years ago. He can play,

1123
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:43,160
Speaker 1: and he showed you that yesterday. And how many times

1124
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 1: have we seen that? You have a quarterback change, it's

1125
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:47,919
Speaker 1: kind of unexpected, and all of a sudden, the team

1126
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 1: rallies around it. You watch him play. Go watch that

1127
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:55,960
Speaker 1: second half from yesterday. Watch how that team responded. You

1128
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:57,840
Speaker 1: tell me that looks like a team that's mailed it in.

1129
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:01,240
Speaker 1: Not that anyone was suggesting that, But they've got TCU

1130
01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 1: this week, they got Houston and then they go to Texas.

1131
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:07,200
Speaker 1: I think Kansas State may have found something. I think

1132
01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:09,640
Speaker 1: the Romin Noudle Express may be noticing that as well.

1133
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 1: So let's just keep an eye on the Wildcats. Sorry, Colin,

1134
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:18,560
Speaker 1: I should have spoken slower there. This is called filler

1135
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:22,960
Speaker 1: to allow that graphic to be read. And all right,

1136
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 1: we're good. Did you notice what happened to Louisville yesterday?

1137
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:28,600
Speaker 1: It hurts me, hurts my heart. It's not like I

1138
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:31,880
Speaker 1: was rooting for it. But there are some teams we're

1139
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 1: pretty locked in on right now. Notre Dame. We got

1140
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:37,000
Speaker 1: them figured out. Louisville got them figured out. That's how

1141
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:39,360
Speaker 1: we picked Louisville to beat Notre Dame and then told

1142
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:42,160
Speaker 1: you they're in trouble. When they went to Pitt yesterday,

1143
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:44,440
Speaker 1: they're in trouble. They lost thirty eight to twenty one.

1144
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:46,600
Speaker 1: It was just a bad spot for him. It's that

1145
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:51,240
Speaker 1: external dynamic thing. You cannot have a team like Louisville,

1146
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:55,440
Speaker 1: as new as they are, start to be told a

1147
01:02:55,560 --> 01:02:59,560
Speaker 1: CC championship. Should we start looking at tickets? No, you

1148
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:02,320
Speaker 1: should be looking at Pitt cause they're gonna beat you.

1149
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:06,800
Speaker 1: Cause the gap between you, undefeated at the time and Pitt.

1150
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:08,720
Speaker 1: What were they like a one or two win team yesterday?

1151
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 1: It was not really all that Why and out of

1152
01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:16,480
Speaker 1: nowhere you lose the running back and your minus three turnovers,

1153
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:20,280
Speaker 1: and the weather sucks and the outcome sucks, and there

1154
01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:23,520
Speaker 1: you are and you now have one blemish showing your resume.

1155
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:28,360
Speaker 1: Pit twenty four to nothing in the second half. I

1156
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:30,480
Speaker 1: would say that's a paper popper. I'd say that's a

1157
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:35,680
Speaker 1: padlock statt, wouldn't you. So now nothing's lost, everything's still

1158
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:39,120
Speaker 1: in play. But this is reality. Louisville probably needed this,

1159
01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:42,520
Speaker 1: this is reality. Auburn did not need what happened to

1160
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 1: them yesterday, but it happened anyway. LSU Skull drug Auburn.

1161
01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:51,200
Speaker 1: This was a splattering forty eight to eighteen spread was

1162
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:53,640
Speaker 1: eleven and a half. Auburn was coming out of their

1163
01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:56,240
Speaker 1: bye week like there were reasons to think they may

1164
01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:59,800
Speaker 1: have some offensive success, just none that happened in the

1165
01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:05,240
Speaker 1: game yesterday. LSU has one SEC loss. I just want

1166
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:08,480
Speaker 1: to keep reminding people. We're gonna do a segment Tuesday

1167
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:13,680
Speaker 1: night that loosely centers around this. There are teams the

1168
01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:16,880
Speaker 1: public is written off that you better not write off.

1169
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:21,000
Speaker 1: Don't write LSU off. They've got one conference loss. They

1170
01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:24,320
Speaker 1: still control their destiny in the SEC. They're gonna go

1171
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:27,680
Speaker 1: to Alabama in a few weeks. That's their next conference game.

1172
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:32,600
Speaker 1: Their conference loss is to Ole Miss. If they win

1173
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:35,800
Speaker 1: the rest of their games, they will be in Atlanta,

1174
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:39,400
Speaker 1: and the rest of their games are at Tuscaloosa, Florida

1175
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 1: and Texas A and M. Those are the three conference

1176
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:43,640
Speaker 1: games they have left. They control it like they are

1177
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:47,240
Speaker 1: still in control of their own destiny. And if your

1178
01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:50,400
Speaker 1: loss is are Florida State and Ole Miss, one of

1179
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:52,920
Speaker 1: them's top ten, the other one's top twenty, and you

1180
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:55,600
Speaker 1: win the rest of your games, like everything's still in play.

1181
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 1: Is my point, it's a flawed team. I'm not suggesting

1182
01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:01,320
Speaker 1: they're not. I am suggesting there are a handful of

1183
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:03,560
Speaker 1: teams out there that are in the process of getting better.

1184
01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 1: Maybe LS use one of them. Who knows, did you'd

1185
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:10,680
Speaker 1: stay up Friday night? Did you watch Colorado and Stanford?

1186
01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:12,840
Speaker 1: I did. It helped that I was on the West Coast.

1187
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:16,320
Speaker 1: Everyone was still awake out there. Forty six to forty three,

1188
01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:21,120
Speaker 1: Stanford shocks Colorado. But if you tuned into the Thursday show,

1189
01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:25,680
Speaker 1: we threw this in the Upset Special segment, and I

1190
01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:28,280
Speaker 1: tried to remind you same thing I tried to remind

1191
01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:31,320
Speaker 1: you with Pitt Louisville. Don't let yourself become fooled by

1192
01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:34,440
Speaker 1: these records. The gaps between these teams are not as

1193
01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:37,960
Speaker 1: wide as those records indicate. But the whole you are

1194
01:05:37,960 --> 01:05:40,360
Speaker 1: what your records says. You are crowds out there, and

1195
01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:43,240
Speaker 1: then they're really emboldened when Colorado goes up and I

1196
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:46,880
Speaker 1: kid you, not twenty nine to nothing to start the game.

1197
01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 1: Then they start tweeting death sentence. Here comes Stanford. Boom

1198
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:57,920
Speaker 1: boom boom. That receiver going up against Travis Hunter was

1199
01:05:58,040 --> 01:06:03,800
Speaker 1: one of the best batchups that I saw all weekend. Unbelievable.

1200
01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:08,040
Speaker 1: He had thirteen receptions, So the kid has no receptions

1201
01:06:08,040 --> 01:06:10,960
Speaker 1: in the first half, ends up with thirteen for two

1202
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:16,440
Speaker 1: ninety four and three touchdowns and just went at Travis Hunter. Well,

1203
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:20,920
Speaker 1: like what a matchup that was to watch. Colorado was

1204
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:24,520
Speaker 1: in their seventh straight game, Stanford was off a bye,

1205
01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:28,440
Speaker 1: fully rested. Just look at those dynamics. There is money

1206
01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:31,480
Speaker 1: to be made in the middle of seasons when you

1207
01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:35,080
Speaker 1: find those games. Uh, Michigan took care of business yesterday,

1208
01:06:35,120 --> 01:06:37,800
Speaker 1: don't have much to say. Ohio State took care of

1209
01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:40,880
Speaker 1: business impressively, Penn State did. Oh don't have a lot

1210
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:42,840
Speaker 1: to say. They're going to start playing each other here soon.

1211
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:48,760
Speaker 1: Missouri is six and one. They beat Kentucky handedly thirty

1212
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:53,200
Speaker 1: eight to twenty one. Their only losses to LSU. You

1213
01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 1: want one of those dynamics type moments, Missouri does not

1214
01:06:57,120 --> 01:07:00,000
Speaker 1: play anyone this week. No, he played South Carolina this week.

1215
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:02,360
Speaker 1: Actually it's a really big game. Then they're off. The

1216
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:08,760
Speaker 1: next week, they're off while George is playing Florida, and

1217
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:12,800
Speaker 1: then Georgia plays Missouri right after that. I'm not saying,

1218
01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:16,800
Speaker 1: I'm just saying everyone thinks they've got everything figured out.

1219
01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:19,960
Speaker 1: Let's just be careful, except if you're the Raw No

1220
01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:21,920
Speaker 1: Noodle Express, because we kind of have things figured out

1221
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:23,919
Speaker 1: right now. Yet another winning week. We're at fifty seven

1222
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:26,880
Speaker 1: percent on the year. Uh, let's get better. Why don't

1223
01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:30,240
Speaker 1: we two early best bets here? One of them is

1224
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:34,800
Speaker 1: a weeknight game. Sam Houston State minus four and a half.

1225
01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 1: We're taking them and wake Forest we bet yesterday they

1226
01:07:39,840 --> 01:07:42,160
Speaker 1: got blown out. We're just gonna bet them again. We're

1227
01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:44,600
Speaker 1: taking them right at pick now. Look, wake Forest is

1228
01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:46,560
Speaker 1: going to be minus one at some of your books.

1229
01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:49,440
Speaker 1: Just bet a money line because it's minus one ten

1230
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:52,160
Speaker 1: right now. So it's essentially the same as betting Pick.

1231
01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:54,640
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be money lining you guys and trying to

1232
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:56,520
Speaker 1: inflate our numbers here if we couldn't get it at

1233
01:07:56,520 --> 01:08:01,560
Speaker 1: even juice. So Sam Houston State, Wake Forest, gotta be

1234
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:03,479
Speaker 1: honest with you. I haven't really slept since yesterday morning.

1235
01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:05,960
Speaker 1: So it's a minor miracle that we made it this farm.

1236
01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:08,520
Speaker 1: I had to yell yesterday to be heard, so it's

1237
01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:11,840
Speaker 1: a moderate miracle that my voice is still here. But

1238
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:15,160
Speaker 1: we made it. So we're through the finish line tape

1239
01:08:16,360 --> 01:08:18,400
Speaker 1: Is there anything else I need to remind you. Yeah,

1240
01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:21,280
Speaker 1: once again, please subscribe to the channel and follow on

1241
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:25,000
Speaker 1: the socials at Late Kick, Josh, we're growing numbers, leaps

1242
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:27,599
Speaker 1: and bounds on those things, and I appreciate it because

1243
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:30,120
Speaker 1: you know, management could come in here and drag us

1244
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:31,800
Speaker 1: out at any second and you wouldn't even know where

1245
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:33,960
Speaker 1: to find me. That's where to find me. I don't

1246
01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:36,080
Speaker 1: have it on any good authority that's about to happen.

1247
01:08:36,760 --> 01:08:39,200
Speaker 1: But that's the thing about management. They strike when you

1248
01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:42,200
Speaker 1: least suspected. Bear attacks I'm told happened the same way

1249
01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:45,360
Speaker 1: for director Colin, for producer Jesse. I'm Josh Fate, take care,

1250
01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:47,519
Speaker 1: have a great start to your week, and God bless
