1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: This is straight fire with Jason McIntyre.

2
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 2: What is a fire, fam, It's mean a Jason McIntyre

3
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 2: straight fire or Tuesday, December thirty First, we'll get you

4
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 2: a quick podcast today and get out of your hair

5
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 2: so you can get after it tonight on New Year's Eve.

6
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 2: Ah Man, the sweet smell of success, Ladies and gentlemen.

7
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 2: If you're waking up this morning and you don't follow

8
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 2: me on social media and you didn't see me all

9
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 2: fired up last night, what a sweat, but it was

10
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 2: worth it. The Lions take down the Niners in a

11
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 2: pretty damn good game, A pretty exciting game for Week

12
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: seventeen that meant nothing. Thank you for competent offense. Lions

13
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 2: forty Sanfran thirty four and it was the first game

14
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 2: since nineteen thirty seven with ten touchdowns and zero punts.

15
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 2: That's thrilling football. We saw a lot of garbage Christmas Day.

16
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 2: There was bad games. Sunday was awful. Sunday Night football

17
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 2: was good, but Monday Night Football delivered, and doubly so

18
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: because Jamier Gibbs and mister Baits I needed to combine

19
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 2: twenty six points to win in fantasy. Gibbs got me

20
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 2: twenty six thanks to a forty yard touchdown run in

21
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: the fourth I don't know why he was still playing

22
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter, but I thank Dan Campbell for that.

23
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 2: Baits banged a fifty seven yard field goal. Good thing

24
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 2: I didn't have. Jake Moody huh, missed two field goals,

25
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 2: missed an extra point. I mean, goodness, gracious, I don't

26
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 2: they drafted that guy. I'm sorry he missed two extra points.

27
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: Moody a rough one. As they say, I don't know,

28
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 2: We're not gonna talk about the nineers. I need to

29
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 2: thank Dan Campbell for keeping his stars in. Took a

30
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 2: lot of criticism, as you're gonna play his guys. Lions

31
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: covered obviously, because that's all favorites do. Favorites went fifteen

32
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 2: and one in Week sixty Week seventeen. Unbelievable. Just tremendous

33
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 2: stuff from the Lion and the favorites and the good teams.

34
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 2: And I'm not gonna get into brock Purty. Okay, he

35
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: threw two bad picks, got it, you know you removed

36
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: the two passes to uh, but the defensive back, what's

37
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 2: his face? The guy who had the picks, I'm spacing

38
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 2: on it. But uh, Kirby Joseph, who had a fantastic year.

39
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 2: I thought Berty was excellent. I thought he was great

40
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 2: outside of the two picks. Now, the two picks were bad.

41
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: And it's an island game. So there's what people are

42
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 2: gonna do. Wake up today and bash Brock, Purty, Fine

43
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 2: go Off. I don't care. It doesn't bother me. I

44
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 2: don't think it significantly impacts his off season. He's gonna

45
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 2: get paid. We could talk many months to talk about

46
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: the Brock party contract situation. But the story right now

47
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 2: besides my fantasy win, and I only really care about

48
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: this because it's the it's the five hundred dollars buy

49
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 2: in league. Winner gets twenty five hundred, loser gets a thousand,

50
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 2: and it's basically paid for. I guess all of my

51
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 2: fantasy entries for like the last I don't know, five years,

52
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 2: and I've had some wins in there, so you know,

53
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,679
Speaker 2: you got one of these big ones and it feels good.

54
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 2: And Gibbs was amazing. I'm surprised Campbell kept his guys in.

55
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 2: They played the entire game. Jared Goff was outstanding. They

56
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 2: had a hook and ladder touchdown on a third and twelve.

57
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 2: It was just spectacular. Ben Johnson, man, that guy's could

58
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: he now Is he gonna be as good of a

59
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 2: head coach when he's not just dialing up plays and

60
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 2: he's got to care about the special teams, and he's

61
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 2: got to care about the defense, and he's got to

62
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 2: know everything that's going on with his team, and he's

63
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 2: got to do more than just dial up plays. We

64
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 2: will see what happens with Ben Johnson, but tremendous stuff

65
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: from the Lions. I will be rooting for them actively

66
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: in the postseason. They will face the Vikings next week

67
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 2: in a number one seed. On the line game. Listen

68
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 2: to some of these numbers. So the Lions offense was

69
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: tremendous twenty three first downs, nine of fourteen third four

70
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty nine yards of offense six point four

71
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: yards per play. But the crazy thing is the Niners

72
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 2: offense was actually better. Twenty nine first downs, four hundred

73
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: and seventy five yards, seven point nine yards per play.

74
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: That's spectacular. The forty nineers are five for five in

75
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 2: the red zone and did not win the game. Five

76
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 2: touchdowns in the red zone. That's what happens when you

77
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 2: missed two field goals and two extra points. That right,

78
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 2: there's a game. And of course the party interceptions did

79
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 2: not help anyways, Lions win. I know you guys are

80
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 2: all excited for the college football picks the playoffs. Here

81
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,119
Speaker 2: we get midweek football that matters. Oh it's so great.

82
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: I'm just going to quickly get this out of the way.

83
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 2: I'm sure someone's gonna beat me to the punch. I'm

84
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: not you know, I'm not in like the breaking news business,

85
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 2: but it bears mentioning that right now there is a

86
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 2: big time bubbling story in college football and the potential

87
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: transfer portal and the story i'm hearing, okay, is Notre Dame.

88
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 2: The last two years has gone to the portal for

89
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 2: quarter Sam Hartman and Riley Leonard both have been, you know,

90
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 2: really good. With the Irish. They have a guy, this

91
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 2: kid Carr, who's very good. He's on the up and up,

92
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 2: but he's coming off like an injury. Something's going on.

93
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 2: He's just still not one hundred percent. And there is

94
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 2: talk that, you know what, he is, the future he's

95
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 2: gonna have, he's gonna be a two year starter at least.

96
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 2: But is there a world where we go and bring

97
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 2: in a quarterback next year, a grad transfer, a transfer

98
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 2: portal guy, somebody who is ready and ready to take

99
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 2: us to the Promised Land. And I do wonder if

100
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: the rumors about Quinn viewers to Notre Dame come to

101
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 2: fruition Quewers, You guys know, I've been a big fan

102
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 2: of his work. I think he's a NFL draft pick.

103
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 2: I don't think he's played like a first round pick

104
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: this year. And I wonder when he goes and gets

105
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 2: that NFL evaluation, what round are you likely to go?

106
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 2: If he doesn't here? First? Second, third, does Quinn? You

107
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 2: weers saying, hmm, you know what, Maybe I'll just go

108
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 2: back to school for another year.

109
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: Now.

110
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 2: Notre Dame apparently will face a challenge for yours. He

111
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 2: will be leaving Texas one thousand percent. This is his

112
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 2: final year at Texas. That's obvious, and I think that's

113
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 2: why Sark has been a little dicey with is this

114
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 2: Queen yours final game? Blah blah blah. Arch Manning is

115
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: the few The arch Manning will be the starter at

116
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 2: Texas next year. That's a thousand percent. That's a done deal, folks,

117
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 2: that he arch Manning will be the starter The question

118
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 2: is does Queen Yours go NFL or college? And I

119
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 2: have heard Notre Dame is his first choice. I've heard

120
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 2: another school is interested in getting in on the Queen

121
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 2: Yours sweepstakes, and that school is Oregon. Now what's interesting

122
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 2: is both of those are in the playoff. Queen Youwers

123
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 2: obviously did not play great against Georgia. Notre Dame faces Georgia.

124
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 2: There could be world I mean, I guess it's not

125
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 2: out of the RMA possibility where Notre Dame faces Texas

126
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 2: for the natty that's in play now. I don't think

127
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 2: that'll happen, but it could. What do we know? Who

128
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 2: knows anything's possible? How State Oregon SMU they got knocked

129
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 2: out by Penn State, not SMU. Obviously, Penn State knocked

130
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 2: out SMU. Penn State's got the easiest path that they

131
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 2: take down Boise. So a lot can happen, And that's

132
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 2: why I'm excited about the College Football Playoff. But dis

133
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 2: quinn Ewers thing would be massive. Now would he lead

134
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 2: Texas to the national championship and then transfer? I don't

135
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 2: think to I think at that point you go NFL,

136
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 2: You've got nothing left to prove in college except bolster

137
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: your draft stock, right, But if you don't win the

138
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: national championship and you're obviously not the starter next year.

139
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 2: Remember Ohio State with the kid McCord last year was

140
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 2: he was good, but he did not get it done

141
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 2: in the biggest spot against Michigan, and they said, we

142
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: can't guarantee you to start a job next year, and

143
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 2: he transferred to Syracuse. Actually led the country in passing,

144
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 2: which is kind of an underplayed story. Pretty impressive stuff

145
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 2: from the court. You know, a lot of guys may

146
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 2: not bounce back from that. It's a high profile Thank

147
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: you for your service. We'll see you later. You know,

148
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 2: I'm very curious to see how yours performs against Arizona

149
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 2: State and beyond. It is going to be fascinating. I

150
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 2: haven't seen this out there. I didn't hear it from

151
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 2: I didn't hear from anybody on social media. This is

152
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 2: from people. I am on the endswit, shall we say

153
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 2: at Notre Dame. So just file it away, let's see

154
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,320

Speaker 2: just remember, oh that's my guy, straight fire. J mack All. Right,

162
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: Here's your best bat.

163
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 2: All right, let's pivot to what everybody's here for the

164
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 2: college football playoff And oh, by the way, a bonus

165
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 2: bowlpick for you today. I am on Alabama. Now this

166
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 2: is get the numbers getting a little wild. I got

167
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 2: it at thirteen. It is now I'm seeing fifteen. Here's

168
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 2: the thing, I don't hate it at fifteen. I'm not

169
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: asking you to lay the lumber. I do not recommend that.

170
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 2: It is called the Relyaquest Bowl. It starts early this morning,

171
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: so you would want to jump on it. Michigan's best

172
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 2: players have opted out the tight end, the cornerback like

173
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 2: everybody's sitting it out. And do not underestimate Kaylin de

174
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 2: Boor doing this for the boosters for the nil collective.

175
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 2: Putting one on Michigan here also payback for the loss

176
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 2: in the playoff last year. Michigan obviously looking to next

177
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 2: season when they should bounce back and be, you know,

178
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 2: a consensus top twenty team most of the year, maybe higher.

179
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 2: We'll see what how the quarterback looks. But without a doubt,

180
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 2: this is Alabama flexing here.

181
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 1: Now.

182
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 2: I don't know that Jalen Milroe has much to prove.

183
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 2: I don't even know if he's actually playing. But Jalen Milroe,

184
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 2: let me let me quickly look this up. Jalen Milroe, Yeah,

185
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 2: he's gonna He's gonna play and expect to play the

186
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 2: full game. According to Debor and Company, Deboor kind of

187
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 2: ended the season not looking great, and I know people

188
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 2: were out on him. Remember the Alabama message boards, Remember

189
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 2: some of the silly stuff that was on there about

190
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 2: how Alabama fans were unhappy they were letting the players

191
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 2: dance to music at practice and it was too wasn't

192
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 2: as structured as saban. This one smells like an absolute

193
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 2: beat down. Would not shock me if this were forty

194
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: nine to thirteen, forty nine to ten, some obscene number.

195
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 2: And Noel's got some stuff to prove here. Again, it's

196
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 2: the guy. I believe. If Anthony Richardson can go top five,

197
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 2: Jill and Milroe will certainly be a first round quarterback.

198
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 2: I don't think he's great by any stretch. I don't

199
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 2: think he's ready. I didn't think Anthony Richardson was ready.

200
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 2: But Milroe can turn it up, and I do believe

201
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 2: we see some flashes here of oh boy, this is

202
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 2: the Alabama team we could see next year with a

203
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 2: new quarterback, of course, because Milroe's going to the NFL,

204
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 2: but I'm on Alabama. Fifteen's a big number. You know,

205
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 2: we'll see some big numbers in the NFL this week.

206
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 2: But I without question really like the tide here. I

207
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 2: haven't really hammered anything else. I'm not sure about Brian

208
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 2: Kelly and LSU. They're getting points. I would consider LSU,

209
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 2: but nothing there. So let's get to the playoff games.

210
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 2: Penn State laying eleven against Boise. I talked about it

211
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 2: last week, talked about it when this game first came out.

212
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 2: I do like poise now. The longer you you know

213
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 2: usually and I'm sure I've talked about this before. First reaction,

214
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 2: when the lines come out the sides, that's usually your

215
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 2: best bet. Then you start reading more and you hearing

216
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 2: outside noise, you see people tweeting at you. You're in

217
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 2: the car. You hear a radio show, you football the TV.

218
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: You hear all their boys is gonna get wrecked, and

219
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 2: you start to start to question yourself. And I have

220
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 2: slowly got to the point where I'm like, oh, I

221
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 2: don't know about Bois. And the big knock from everybody

222
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:29,239
Speaker 2: who closely follows college football is they haven't played anybody.

223
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 2: And the worst part is down the stretch they looked

224
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 2: really bad and could not cover the spread against the

225
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 2: Wyomings of the world, Nevada, you and l they just

226
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 2: I mean, the quarterback's throwing for a like a buck

227
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 2: seventy five in games that matter down the stretch. Now,

228
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 2: I know a lot of it is, hey, Ashton Genty

229
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 2: is cooking, and that's fine, but the step up in

230
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 2: class to Penn State here is seismic. Now here's the

231
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 2: thing you could argue, Hey man, listen, everybody UNLV saw

232
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 2: these guys once. So that's one of the reasons that

233
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 2: the bowl game was close. People started to defend Genty differently.

234
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:16,239
Speaker 2: It's like San Jose State held him to buck fifty nine.

235
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 2: He didn't go nuts in the first UNLV meeting. He

236
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 2: did in the second. San Diego State did a decent

237
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 2: job against him. But again, some of these games were blowouts.

238
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 2: And I don't know what to make of Boising So

239
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 2: when you've got that kind of weird situation, like how

240
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 2: do you do? You do? You just take it with

241
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 2: Penn State, which, by the way, all we heard all season, Ah,

242
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 2: you know, Penn State. They're just not that good. They're overrated.

243
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 2: They can't beat anybody, And really, I mean didn't beat

244
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 2: anybody all season that was that good. I mean Ohio State.

245
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 2: That game was close at home. They lost it the

246
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 2: USC game. Do you count that as a good win?

247
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 2: It was on the road. They needed to come back

248
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 2: and they did. I don't know that Penn State's that good.

249
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 2: I mean again, I'm looking at the schedule, guys. Here

250
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 2: are their ranked opponents. They beat Illinois twenty one to

251
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 2: seven at home. They lost to Oregon in the Big

252
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 2: Ten championship game. They lost to Ahose State at home.

253
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 2: But this is where I keep coming back to for

254
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 2: the Boise State handingcap and why I took Boise State

255
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 2: plus the points and on the money line. The last

256
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 2: time Boise State played a football game was Friday, December sixth.

257
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 2: From that moment, now I know you only get a

258
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 2: certain amount of practices. But from that moment they have

259
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 2: had twenty five games or twenty five days. I'm sorry,

260
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 2: before the Penn State game December sixth to December thirty first,

261
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 2: you got three weeks to install stuff. Now you could say, hey,

262
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 2: well they didn't know who they were gonna play. Okay, Well,

263
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 2: I mean you could you could take an educated guest

264
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 2: and say, hey, Penn State's playing at home against SMU,

265
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 2: They're a big favorite, they're gonna win, and now you've

266
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 2: got three weeks to cook up stuff for Penn State. Now,

267
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 2: I did some digging around on the Boise coach. He's

268
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 2: a young guy, thirty six, Spencer Danielson, not really familiar

269
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 2: with his work, first time head coach. You know, it

270
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 2: kind of lucks into Ashton Gent and I okay, you

271
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 2: know last year was the introrom. He went three in morning,

272
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 2: He was fine. I something tells me like, I don't

273
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 2: want to apply myself too much to this, but you

274
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 2: guys know, I coached my kids in sports, whether it's soccer,

275
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 2: basketball and obviously very different than football. But when you

276
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 2: approach these games, like, for instance, the youth basketball season

277
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 2: starts this week, and I have already talked to the

278
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 2: assistant coach. My buddy, we've known each other for a while. Hey, hey,

279
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 2: we're gonna open in this right, we're gonna pivot to this.

280
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 2: We're gonna keep giving him different looks. And when we

281
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 2: play this team in the playoffs, and well, you know,

282
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 2: we probably won the last two championships. We're not gonna

283
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 2: run the same stuff. Hell, the next week, we're not

284
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 2: gonna run the same stuff. Coaches are gonna be ready, Hey,

285
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 2: we know what a two three zone is. Hey, here's

286
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 2: what we're gonna run against mana man. So we're not

287
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 2: gonna hit him with that stuff. You've got to be changing,

288
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 2: So apply it to Boise State Penn State. Do you

289
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 2: think Boise is gonna come out in the same defense

290
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 2: they played against I don't know, San Diego State. I mean,

291
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 2: do you think they're gonna run the same defense that

292
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 2: they ran against Utah State against Penn State. That would

293
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 2: be foolish, It would just be stupid, and you're gonna

294
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 2: get torn apart. So you've got to have different stuff.

295
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 2: And given three weeks to cook up a game plan,

296
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 2: you're telling me they won't have some new wrinkles. And

297
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 2: that's a reason I kind of like the dogs here.

298
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 2: Now you could apply that to the first round and say,

299
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 2: well they had two weeks. Well that's a different story. Okay,

300
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 2: why because of the home field factor and the home

301
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 2: team's you know rolled. So this neutral site game, now,

302
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 2: Boise Penn State, it looks like this is not that

303
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 2: tough of a ticket. I think boys, he can hang now.

304
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 2: Obviously Penn State would be wise to say, hey, we're

305
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 2: gonna stack the box, give me seven in the box,

306
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 2: give me eight in the box. Ashton GENTI can hey, hey,

307
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 2: won't be the first eight man box he's seen all

308
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 2: season and the triple dog. Dare the Boise State quarterback

309
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 2: to beat you over the top. I don't think that's

310
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 2: how you want to go out, But you know, SMU

311
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 2: had a couple of high leverage plays and the quarterback

312
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 2: made mistakes. Anyways, I took the points. I'll be rooting.

313
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 2: Bois nothing against Penn State. My brother has a couple

314
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 2: of his friend's kids go there or will be going there.

315
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 2: And you know Pennsylvania. He lives in PA and Penn

316
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 2: State's huge, and I get it. You could easily like

317
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 2: that team I'm on bois, So that is the game

318
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 2: tonight on we'll go in order on January first, the

319
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 2: early game Texas at Arizona State. Interesting over the weekend,

320
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 2: so Arizona State was thirteen and a half, it got

321
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 2: bet down to eleven and a half. Some of these

322
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 2: sharp groups hitting Arizona State, and this is another one

323
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 2: of those. Well, I don't know how good is Arizona State.

324
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 2: They were picked to finished dead last, okay in their conference,

325
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 2: dead last, and they end up winning it, and it's like, well,

326
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 2: was the media way off? Did they overachieve? I don't know.

327
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 2: They lost to Texas Tech and they lost to Cincinnati.

328
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,239
Speaker 2: How much do you take away from those games? What

329
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 2: do you read into that? With Arizona State and their

330
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 2: great coach Dillingham and they're running back who is I mean,

331
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 2: he's scatabo Scataboo. That guy's awesome. I was reading about

332
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 2: this guy. Dude. He was one of these high school

333
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 2: players that was just unbelievable. But nobody knew what to

334
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 2: do with him, so he had no D one. Look,

335
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: so he starts D three, he absolutely dominates and then

336
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 2: ultimately gets to Sacramento State and he goes there and

337
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 2: the story I think CBS or the Athletic one of

338
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 2: these his like first practice, okay, and he was coming

339
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 2: down from D three secondment of State and he was

340
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 2: like untackleable, Like everybody was like who is this guy?

341
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 2: And he was instantly their best player by a mile.

342
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 2: And then he levels up again to Arizona State, And

343
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 2: I mean this guy he had two sixty two against

344
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 2: Mississippi State, Okay, that's an SEC team, two hundred sixty

345
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 2: two yards on the ground. He had a buck eighty

346
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,959
Speaker 2: two against Kansas, one fifty eight against Utah. He is

347
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 2: a load to bring down. I don't even have an

348
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 2: NFL comp for him. He's not the guy on San

349
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 2: Fran because this dude can move. He is unbelievable. One

350
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy seven against Arizona, won seventy against Iowa

351
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 2: State in the Big twelve championship game. But again, like

352
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 2: Texas has, I think Texas probably has more defensive uh

353
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 2: I saw a stat that they could have six guys

354
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 2: drafted in the top two rounds of the draft. Arizona State,

355
00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 2: I don't know that they have one.

361
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,959
Speaker 2: he's gonna go. But this is another one, like, so,

362
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 2: what's the money coming in? What's everybody betting? Here's another one, folks.

363
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 2: Last game Arizona State played was December seventh. Kenny Dillingham

364
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 2: is one of the better young coaches in the country.

365
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 2: I like this guy a lot. And you look at

366
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 2: their last game Saturday, December seventh to January first, we're

367
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 2: looking at twenty four days in between games for Arizona State,

368
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,360
Speaker 2: and you know they were not prepping to face Clemson.

369
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 2: They were ready for Texas. They should have a lot

370
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 2: of interesting stuff cooked up. I think their quarterback is

371
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 2: actually better than Boise's. But I think Boisese skill position

372
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 2: guys probably a slight edge over Arizona States guys. The

373
00:20:54,920 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 2: problem is Texas is an absolute truck this offensive and

374
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 2: they're getting the kid bond back. They've got dudes everywhere,

375
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 2: and I don't know that as you can get the stops,

376
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 2: but can as you hang And my guess would be yes, probably,

377
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 2: and we will see just how good Arizona State's skill

378
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 2: position guys are, because they're gonna they're gonna need at

379
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 2: least twenty eight to cover here, maybe thirty. I am

380
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 2: seeing the total at fifty one. Yeah, Arizona State, if

381
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 2: they're gonna cover, they're gonna need at least maybe twenty

382
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 2: is too have. Maybe twenty one's is gonna get you

383
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 2: to cover. But I think it's in place. Small Arizona

384
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 2: State piece for me. I think Texas wins, and then

385
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 2: it's the big game, the Rose Bowl, which will just

386
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 2: be an outstanding gay because it's the Rose Ball. It's

387
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 2: a great setting. A lot to like about the potential

388
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 2: for a great game here. It's a rematcher. Is a

389
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 2: little a touch of Oregon money coming in Oregon's plus two?

390
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 2: I think this is just about what the line was

391
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 2: in the first meeting in Austin. I'm on Ohio State here,

392
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 2: but I have to say I've looked around, guys. I

393
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 2: haven't seen one person pick the one non Oregon Duck

394
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 2: grad or fan picked the Ducks here. Everybody on Ohio State,

395
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 2: it almost feels like they're disrespecting the undefeated. Dylan Gabriel

396
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 2: Ducks and listen Oregon man against that Penn State defense.

397
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 2: They shredded them in the Big Ten title game, hot

398
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 2: knife through butter. The wide receivers are good. I don't

399
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 2: know that Ohio State has an edge at all, except

400
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 2: their wide receivers are good. I would look at I

401
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 2: do kind of like the under, not in this one.

402
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 2: I like the under in Notre Dame Georgia, and I

403
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 2: would I would consider the over at the Rose Bowl.

404
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 2: Ohio State has not been really tested in a while.

405
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 2: The Michigan game, I'm gonna I'm gonna chuck that up

406
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 2: to just weirdness. Is that okay? Can I do that?

407
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 2: Is that a loud, heated rivalry. They did not play

408
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 2: game clearly. You wonder if Will Howard was potentially concussed

409
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 2: on that early hit. He did not throw the ball

410
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 2: well at all. It's just nothing. Nothing worked out for

411
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 2: Ohio State. Michigan is not a great team, but that

412
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,959
Speaker 2: rivalry is massive. I think people overreacted to that, and

413
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 2: that's why they were on Tennessee. Is the opposite true Now,

414
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 2: everybody's overreacting to Ohio State burying Tennessee, and everybody's on

415
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 2: Ohio State. Whereas Oregon, which hasn't played in a while,

416
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 2: has a great coach, Dan Lanning, probably the best coach

417
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 2: in the playoff. No disrespect to anyone else out there,

418
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 2: you know, I love me some Freeman. And obviously Georgia's

419
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,959
Speaker 2: got a coach who's won a little bit, James Franklin,

420
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 2: a winner just when he except when he faces top

421
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 2: five teams. And I just it just it's gonna be

422
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 2: a great game. It wouldn't hurt you and not have

423
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 2: money on this, but I I lean Ohio State. I

424
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 2: guess I would go moneyline. I'm seeing minus one twenty three.

425
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

426
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:01,479
Speaker 2: Final game is Notre Dame Georgia, and I a slight

427
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 2: edge to Notre Dame. I know, Jason, what are you doing?

428
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 2: You're on three dogs? Come on? The favorites were barking.

429
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 2: Favorites have been owning, and I'm talking owning NFL lately.

430
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 2: I saw a stat favorites were fourteen and one on

431
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 2: Week seventeen. Prior to that Lions Niners thriller, and I

432
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 2: like the under in the Notre Dame Georgia game. I

433
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 2: do think this is two defenses that probably rule the

434
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 2: roost here. I don't know what to make of Gunner Stockton.

435
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 2: I've been reading about him. The positive from Georgia. From

436
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 2: the Georgia perspective is he's a coach's kid. He eats,

437
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 2: he eats, sleeps, breathes football. He's been with the program

438
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 2: for this is his third year. He's sat behind Stetson

439
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 2: Bennett for a year, watched him win a championship, sat

440
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 2: behind Carson Beck for two and now he's playing Beck.

441
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,719
Speaker 2: Of course, had the surgery. He's off to the NFL.

442
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 2: So this will be the Gunner Stockton show. Does he

443
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 2: scare you throwing the football? I don't know the answer

444
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 2: to that. I'll be honest, guys, I haven't seen anything.

445
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 2: There's really not enough tape. I think there were eighty

446
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 2: six plays that he's run, either this season or in

447
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 2: his college football career. One of those two. There's just

448
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 2: not a lot here now. As a high school player,

449
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 2: I mean, the guy threw for thirteen thousand yards in

450
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 2: high school and as a senior fifty five touchdowns, one pick.

451
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 2: Like obviously he landed at Georgia. He's got something right.

452
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 2: Kenny beat Notre Dame in a tough spot in New Orleans.

453
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 2: This to me is an amazing nightcap I am a

454
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 2: little nervous for my Irish. I will go ahead and

455
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 2: lean Notre Dame simply because I don't know what I'm

456
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 2: getting with Stockton, which could be a huge win. Right

457
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 2: Stockton is a mystery. Nobody knows what to expect. He

458
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 2: cooks up some stuff, a couple of trick plays, does

459
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 2: some stuff with his legs. I just think Notre Dame,

460
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 2: this one's easy. We stopped the run, we'll go. I

461
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 2: guess you could go man or try some tricky zone

462
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 2: on the back end, but I don't think you've got

463
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 2: to worry about Stockton throwing the ball down the field.

464
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 2: And Georgia's had some mysterious game plans where they fell

465
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 2: behind badly in Alabama. If you remember the SEC title

466
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 2: game last year, it was just what is Georgia doing?

467
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 2: But with a lot of time to prepare here Notre

468
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 2: Dame coming off the Indiana game, and Notre Dame showed

469
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 2: nothing last week, you can see Georgia having a good one.

470
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 2: If anything, I would tease I don't know that I

471
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 2: would tease Notre Dame. Up. I would, and this doesn't

472
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 2: really do much, but I would tease Georgia and I

473
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 2: would tease Oregon up. Okay, Oregon's doesn't feel like a

474
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 2: team to me that's gonna get blown out. Way too

475
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 2: many weapons, too aggressive of a quarterback, and I don't

476
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 2: think Notre Dame has the capability to run away and

477
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 2: hide from Georgia. They just aren't an explosive offense. Riley

478
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 2: Leonard's not gonna want to make the mistake. I think

479
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a heavy Notre Dame ground game. It's

480
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 2: it's the lowest total of the four playoff games at

481
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 2: forty six. So if you're in two teases and again

482
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 2: you're supposed to go through the seven and the three.

483
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 2: That's obvious, but you could make a case. You tease

484
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 2: Georgia up to up to getting five, you tease Oregon

485
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 2: up to eight, and I think that two team teaser

486
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 2: probably cashes for you. Again, Notre Dame is not a

487
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 2: team capable of blowing out great teams, and Oregon's gonna

488
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 2: fight till the end in Ohio State, you know, like,

489
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 2: are they gonna are they gonna roast the Ducks? I

490
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 2: don't see that, but they certainly have the weapons. Zeromia

491
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 2: Smith outside. So anyways, I'm fired up for these games.

492
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,959
Speaker 2: We will be back on Friday. I guess to preview

493
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,959
Speaker 2: Week eighteen in the NFL. Although there's not much happening

494
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 2: a handful of games. The Saturday doubleheader looks pretty good.

495
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,719
Speaker 2: Although if the Ravens, who are eighteen point favorites, if

496
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 2: they win against Cleveland and capture the division, Pittsburgh has

497
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 2: nothing to play for. And maybe pitt s burgs like, hey,

498
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 2: let's rest our guys, and uh, let's get what's his face,

499
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 2: Let's get Joe Burrow the wind, you know, but Tomin

500
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 2: doesn't seem like the kind of guy who rests his dudes. Anyways,

501
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 2: should be a good one to talk to you Friday. Everybody,

502
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,479
Speaker 2: have a safe, happy New Year. See then,
