1
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: Welcome in La Kick is Live. It is Sunday night,

2
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: December eighteenth, the Ear of Our Lord twenty twenty two,

Speaker 1: proudly brought to you by Academy Sports and Outdoors. You

4
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: know it's It's December eighteenth and Peyton State still has

5
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: not lost a soul to the portal, but we have

6
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: added several. Thus the benefit of not having a cap.

7
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: We have no numbers crunch Here. We are jam packed

8
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: high a tape festive downtown Nashville, Tennessee. College football playoff

9
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: predictions tonight before this show goes off the air, I'll

10
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: tell you who I think is gonna win both games.

11
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: May even be right. We'll see national championship. That's down

12
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: the road. National Signing Day is like seventy two hours away.

13
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,599
Speaker 1: It's this Wednesday. We're all going to head to Fort

14
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 1: Lauderdale eventually. But in the meantime, I'm going to deliver

15
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: the latest Intel, latest buzz whispers. I got four classes

16
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: at least for you to keep an eye on. We

17
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: got several transfer reportal moves happening even as we speak.

18
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: We got a lot of Intel there. I got some

19
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: coaching stuff and I got some program stuff too, just

20
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: some programs that I think if we were buying stock,

21
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: I really think I lean into him. Right now, they're

22
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: watching us in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Jupiter, Florida, Mount Pleasant, Michigan, Mobile, Alabama.

23
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,839
Speaker 1: Some of you who were perusing the socials yesterday saw

24
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: that the ram Noodle Express veered right back onto the tracks.

25
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 1: We took North Texas plus the points and they lost,

26
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: but they lost close, so we won. So we're one

27
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: to zero in Bowl season. I just want to let

28
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: you know we will not have picks on the show tonight,

29
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: but you really better be following at Lake Kick Josh

30
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: because I have several not one, not two, but several

31
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: Bowl picks coming. Just keep that in mind. We're waiting

32
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: for line movement and we don't have a show every

33
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: two hours, so you got to be sure you're following Instagram,

34
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: Twitter at late Kick Josh, speaking of which actually it

35
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with that. This week the schedule

36
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: is a little bit different. So Tears Day we'll be

37
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: down in Fort Lauderdale. It'll be the night before signing day,

38
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: Signing day eve, so we'll be live from there and

39
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: i'll have I'll have some Signing Day stuff for you

40
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: all the latest whispers and intel. I'll probably have some

41
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 1: folks on the show, but also I have it on

42
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: good authority, Jesse and Colin. That's the authority. The Pate

43
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: State Speakers series is going to commence some of those

44
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: guests that you asked me to bring on the show.

45
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: I'm told no promises, but I'm told we may have

46
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: a special guest Tuesday night. Look at that smile on

47
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: my face, because I can never hide a smile. So

48
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: that's Tuesday. Wednesday night. Immediately following signing Day, I'll have

49
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: a special recap show on this channel. So it won't

50
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: be Thursday this week, It'll be Wednesday, and then it'll

51
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: be Christmas time for a little while. So that's the

52
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: schedule this week. Get ready. You can rest once this

53
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: week is over, but you really got to stay locked

54
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: in this week because it is a very very important week.

55
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,119
Speaker 1: And I'm going to talk about all that in due

56
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: time tonight. We got a lot of different directions to go.

57
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: One of you asked me the other day about programs

58
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: and teams that didn't necessarily make the playoff, and maybe

59
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: they're not playing in the biggest bowl games, but they're

60
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: just programs that you feel good about right now? Which

61
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: ones are trending in the right direction? In other words,

62
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: which ones will you really be focused on in twenty

63
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: twenty three, Florida State football has to be chief among them.

64
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: See what I did there? Yes, indeed, Mike Norvel in company.

65
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: While everyone's been talking about recruiting and everyone's been talking

66
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: about all the noise that always comes out of the

67
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: state of Florida, I talk about the State of Florida

68
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: all the time. This team right here, they beat LSU

69
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: in Week one this past year, and Colin, I'm gonna

70
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: ask you to do something that's unprofessional because we got

71
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: a nice, fancy graphic here on the screen right now,

72
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: and he just put it up and there's no way

73
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: you had time to read it all. But I'm gonna

74
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: request Florida State's schedule graphic for just a second because

75
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: I want to illustrate something to you. Thank you, Colm.

76
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: So they start off four to zero. There's a three

77
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: game stretch there. It's almost like a flat tire. In

78
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: the middle of the season. They lost to Wake, n

79
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: C State, and Clemson. All the games were competitive, and

80
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: then they get right back on the horse and they

81
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: throttle everyone. They were playing really really good ball down

82
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: the stretch. It culminated with that night after Thanksgiving, that

83
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: Friday game against Florida and they finished nine to three.

84
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: And I remember being on the Florida State twenty four

85
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: to seven board right before the season, I said, what

86
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: would be good enough? Everyone wanted eight wins. Well they

87
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: got nine wins. But more importantly, they got Jordan Travis back.

88
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: They just got Jahem Bell, the tight end from South Carolina.

89
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: I think now they've reached that critical point Mike Norvel.

90
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: Mike Norvel's reached that critical point at Florida State where

91
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: he's no longer having to just beg and plead for

92
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: people to believe in him. Now he's got you know,

93
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: was that some Jimbo Fisher fsub role? I'm I know

94
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: you didn't mean to, but I love it. Boy. That's

95
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: a long time ago. So Mike Norvell feels to me

96
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: like he's reached that point now where he's not having

97
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: a be he's not having to say, hey, wait, do

98
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: you see what we can do? They could point to

99
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: this last season and say that's sort of a precursor.

100
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: You know, we're not saying we're where we want to be. Yet.

101
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: But how can you not feel good about Florida State

102
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: going into twenty twenty three. And here's the other thing,

103
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: it's not a lot. It doesn't feel like smoking mirrors

104
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: to me, or smoking mirrors, as some of my buddies

105
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: would say. They took time and they rebuilt the inner

106
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: core of the football program. There. They could have microwaved it,

107
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: you know, they could have popcorn and candy cotton candidate. Yeah,

108
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: they catton candy approach, but that's just a sugar high. No,

109
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: they went nutrition first, they went chicken, they went steak,

110
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: they went meat and potatoes, and it's starting to pay off.

111
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: So I feel good about Florida State. Speaking of Florida State,

112
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: the team that they beat to begin this past regular season,

113
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: LSU feel good about LSU too. You could really look

114
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: at that SEC championship game one of two ways. You

115
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: could either take, I think the dumb down approach of saying,

116
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: look at him, look at them. They got beat by Georgia,

117
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: they got owned by Georgia. I knew they were frauds.

118
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: They never should have been there. Well, they weren't frauds.

119
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: By the very definition of divisional play. The team with

120
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 1: the best divisional record goes to play for the conference

121
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: title game. They're not frauds. No one ever said they

122
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: were better than Georgia. So anyway, that's the outlier. I

123
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: would suggest you say to yourself like I'm saying to myself.

124
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: They were in Atlanta to begin with. They beat Alabama

125
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: in year one, and mind you, that was supposed to

126
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: be one of the best Bama teams in recent history.

127
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: I believed it, and so I also believe Bama was

128
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: gonna beat LSU comfortably. Well, they did neither of those things.

129
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: And that's year one under Brian Kelly. Here was the

130
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: other concern that some had. I didn't necessarily fall in

131
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 1: this camp, but some were concerned about the old acclamation

132
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: period for Brian Kelly. How long was it gonna take him.

133
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna keep rubbing this in. It's just something

134
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: we happened to pinata out of the way early on

135
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: that some other folks held onto a little too long.

136
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly came to LSU and I think put on

137
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: a little different face, and it's a face that he

138
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: never wore at Notre Dame. I'm not saying he's two faced.

139
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is I think This is the feel

140
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: I get. I'm not saying he wasn't a hard worker

141
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: at Notre Dame. I'm saying there were some avenues in

142
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: recruiting he knew he couldn't go down, so he never

143
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: bothered to because he didn't want to run into a

144
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: brick wall over and over again. That would have been

145
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,559
Speaker 1: a waste of his time. Well, some folks, I think,

146
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: misconstrued that and they took it to mean he was

147
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: never interested in going down those recruiting avenues. I think

148
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: he always was interested in it. He just knew it

149
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: was going to be fruitless at one place. And now

150
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: he can do it, and he's doing it, and so

151
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: he's been completely dialed in. You haven't even heard a

152
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: whisper of that guy not being totally dialed in and

153
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: recruiting completely opposite. Actually I had a hiccup, Sorry, complete opposite.

154
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: So I feel good about LSU because look, they are

155
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: just at the very very outset of remaking that program

156
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: into what they wanted to be under him. So I

157
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: feel good about LSU. Jesse's in the building. So I

158
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: had to insert the following, I feel good about Penn State.

159
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: Notice I have to lower the tone a little bit,

160
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: because that's what the last half of their season felt like.

161
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: They lost to Michigan, they lost to Ohio State, season's

162
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: over right. Well for a lot of the country, that's

163
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: when people tuned out from Penn State. And I know

164
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: it's nothing to write home about, but a lot of

165
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: teams would have kind of mailed it in there because

166
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: their preseason goals are out the window. Well, Penn State didn't.

167
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: I believe in giving credit when people do what they're

168
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: supposed to do. So they did what they were supposed

169
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: to do the rest of the way. They played like

170
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 1: Florida State did the rest of the way. Now you

171
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: could skeptically look at that and say, well yeah, but

172
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: I mean look who they played. Well, that's the point.

173
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: They did what they were supposed to do and there

174
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: was never an ounce of quit. There was a never

175
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: an ounce of give up. And so if you want

176
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: to criticize the modern day player for doing that more

177
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: and more, don't you have to credit the modern day

178
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: player at Penn State for not doing that. So that's

179
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: part one. Part two is we know what's about to

180
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: happen at quarterback. We know that it is the Drew

181
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: Aller era. It is upon us now. Can't tell you

182
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: how many days I've walked in this building, and producer

183
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: Jesse has told me, you know, you could pick whatever

184
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: you want to, whether it is inferior passing, statistics, world hunger,

185
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 1: whatever it is, it's all going to be solved. When

186
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: Drew Ahler is at the helm quarterback Penn State, well,

187
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 1: he's about to be. And so they finished ten and

188
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: two this year, fourth ten plus win season since twenty sixteen.

189
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: Program's fine, trending in the right direction. Should be getting

190
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: prepared to have some of the best quarterback play they've

191
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: had under James Franklin. Feel good about Penn State right now, TCU.

192
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: I know it's pretty obvious because they're in the playoff

193
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: at the moment. I don't think this is a one

194
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 1: hit wonder sort of program. It certainly has been a

195
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: big hit right off the bat. But have you been

196
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 1: paying attention to what they've been doing in recruiting. I

197
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: think they're sitting at number sixteen right now, just in

198
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: the overall recruiting rankings. Jojo Earl, the Bama wide receiver transfer,

199
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: just committed there. I know they're in it for a

200
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: couple other guys. So Sunny Dyke's really really quickly is

201
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: turning TCU into a destination program. And remember how this

202
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: could not have come at a more opportune time for

203
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: TCU and for the Big Twelve. Frankly, because what are

204
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: we talking about right now? If you go to cbsports

205
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 1: dot com or twenty four seven Sports, a lot of

206
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: the headlines about the Big Twelve are about when Texas

207
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: and OU are going to leave and they just renegotiated

208
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: their TV deal. Well, guess what helped greatly in that department.

209
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: Someone not named Texas or Oklahoma playing really good ball

210
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: this year. In fact, a couple of programs out there,

211
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: TCU just among them. Well, here's the next question in

212
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: this brave new Big twelve, the post OU post Texas

213
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: Big twelve, which is about to be upon us. It's

214
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of air out there for someone

215
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 1: to take up in that conference. Why not the program

216
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: that's parked right smack dab in the middle of Dallas, Texas.

217
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: DCU is well positioned. They got the right guy. They

218
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: are a destination for recruits and for transfers. A lot

219
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: of kids are just flat out from that area. So kids,

220
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: it's kind of like the South Florida effect. Some kids

221
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 1: leave home initially, and you happen to be the benefactor

222
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: just for the sake of a kid wanting to move

223
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: closer to home. Sometimes kids will move closer to home,

224
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: and you just happen to be the program that's closest.

225
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: You didn't even really do anything. You just happen to

226
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 1: be a pinpoint on a map. So there's a lot

227
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: going right for TCU right now. And lastly, this one

228
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,839
Speaker 1: is pretty obvious too, but I want to recognize them USC.

229
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: I think some people are taking the same incorrect tact

230
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 1: on USC as they are LSU and they look at

231
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: him and they say, oh, look at him. They got

232
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: exposed in the PAC twelve championship game. They shouldn't have

233
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: been in the PAC twelve Championship game. If you say

234
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: it out loud, I know what the Vegas odds said,

235
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: and I know that you recalibrated your expectation once they

236
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 1: got in the season. Forget about the name Lincoln Riley,

237
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: forget about the name Kayleb Williams. Just say the situation

238
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: out loud. They fired a coach, they hired the new one,

239
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: and they completely overhauled a roster that shouldn't be a

240
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: formula to win a Pack twelve championship or to be

241
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: a position to play for one, but they were. So

242
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 1: that's just a whole lot of gravy for year one.

243
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: It's what I'm saying. They will have teams on the

244
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: field over the next several years that would run this

245
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 1: team out of the building that they just put on

246
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: the field. I believe that. And that's even with Kayleb

247
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: Williams at the helm. And look, they may have won

248
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: the Pac twelve Championship game as is if he stayed healthy.

249
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: I've been going back and forth unnecessarily so by the way,

250
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: with Utah fans, and I don't get it. It's like

251
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 1: I'm not taking credit away from Utah. They beat him once,

252
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: they beat them twice two years in a row. They've

253
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: beaten a team twice to win the Pac twelve Championship.

254
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: All I'm saying is when USC has a seventeen to

255
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: three lead with the healthy quarterback and he stays healthy,

256
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: it might have been a different game than the one

257
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: where you went on a forty four to seven run

258
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: to end things. That's all I'm saying. That's pretty innocent.

259
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: I think so USC I believe in. But look, the

260
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: PAC twelve is the toughest conference for me. I could

261
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 1: have put Oregon here, I could have put both both

262
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: teams in Oregon. I could have put Washington. UCLA's making

263
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: little noise both in recruiting and in the transfer market,

264
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 1: which could have the volume turned up on it a

265
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: little bit. Later this week, we'll see dot dot keep

266
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,719
Speaker 1: an eye on that jetfish in Arizona. I feel good,

267
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: so I could have done like a PAC twelve only segment,

268
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: as would be customary for PAC twelve paid, But nope.

269
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: The last thing I want on this show and it's

270
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: bitten me. You guys know it's bitten me too many times.

271
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: The last thing I want to be called is a

272
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 1: PAC twelve homer. I've heard it my whole life, and

273
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: so I got to give some love to the SEC.

274
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: I gotta throw some crumbs to the big ten. Can't

275
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: just let them call me a PAC twelve homer. I

276
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: can't tell you how frequent that was thrown my way

277
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: in West Central Georgia growing up. Academy sports and outdoors

278
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: big presence in West Central Georgia. Maybe maybe you live

279
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Maybe you don't have one

280
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: around the corner. But do you have one of these?

281
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: Or do you have one of these? I'm holding up

282
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: electronic devices that, depending on the airport TSA may make

283
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: you take out of your bag or not. At you

284
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: got Academy dot Com available to you, so there's no excuse.

285
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: And by my calculations, there's still time Christmas around the corner.

286
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: Some of you have a little life hack figured out.

287
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: Some of you do Christmas in New Year's combine, So

288
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: you don't really have to have your presence until like

289
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: the twenty ninth, thirtieth. You can do it. Academy dot

290
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: Com can help, and certainly if you can get there

291
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: in person. Look, I don't want to live your lives

292
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: for you, but I want to help you live your lives,

293
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: and Academy Sports and Outdoors can certainly do that. If

294
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: if I am to believe some of the research we have,

295
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: and I am to know your lifestyle and my own

296
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: like I know our lifestyles. These folks right here, this bright,

297
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: beautiful blue logo behind us, they got a large If

298
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: you put the pie chart of our needs in front

299
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: of us, they got a large chunk of that pie

300
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: chart taken up so just pay them a visit. Oh

301
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: and by the way, they make the show free of

302
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: charge Academy Sports and Outdoors Academy dot com. Whatever your preference,

303
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: they are there for you and they're there for us

304
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: as a show I had. I had an epiphany just now,

305
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: Jesse and Colin, I need one word answers here. You

306
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: can use the Voice of God function if you want to.

307
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: Someone told me the other day, and I don't know

308
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: how I feel about it. Someone told me, I mean

309
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: using my hands too much as I talk, yes or no? No? No, Okay,

310
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: well they said I was So I went back and

311
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: I watched the show and fast forward and it's just

312
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: this the whole time. So Jesse, you're probably wrong. So

313
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try try in this next segment not to

314
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: use my hands so much. But there are no promises,

315
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: because look, if you don't talk with your hands, you

316
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: just sit here like a serial killer. Who wants to

317
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: watch someone talk like this? Gross? If I wanted this,

318
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: I just go listen to the podcast. Okay, let's dhu.

319
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: For the sake of keeping Academy as a sponsor, Let's

320
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: please continue. It's college football playoff prediction time. I know

321
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: you guys thought I may wait to the week of

322
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: but no, no, no, I want this in your stocking

323
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: long before Christmas arrives. So here we go, Fiesta Bowl,

324
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: four o'clock New Year's Eve. Hate the scheduling, but love

325
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 1: the matchup. TCU versus Michigan TCU two hundred to one

326
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: national championship odds to start the year. I got a

327
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: little stat for you. Those are the longest odds any

328
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: college football playoff participant has ever had. Not to be

329
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: outdone by far, Michigan was fifty to one to win

330
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: the title at the beginning of the year, so they're

331
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 1: the fourth longest odds ever, So the first and fourth

332
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 1: longest national championship odds ever for playoff teams. In this

333
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: matchup here and a generation ago, as we start to

334
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: dive into this game and predicted in this very building

335
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: out in Glendale, Arizona, what did we see? We saw

336
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: Oklahoma versus Boise State. And that was not the biggest

337
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: upset in history, one of the very most consequential upsets

338
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: in history, and for a number of reasons. So I'm

339
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: certainly not saying if TCU wins this game, it's that

340
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: kind of upset, but I am saying it's got that

341
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: kind of vibe to it, power five versus Power five,

342
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: whereas that wasn't. But it's an established blue blood program

343
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 1: versus someone who's really new at the table. And with

344
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: that in mind, what would a TCU win me? Have

345
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: you prepared your mind? By the way, for like Georgia

346
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: tc you are our Ohio State TCU in the National

347
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 1: Championship game. The answer is no, you have not. Let's

348
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: ask ourselves if we need to prepare. Here's what I

349
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: think I know. I think Michigan's going to be able

350
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: to move the ball. I don't have many doubts about this.

351
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:36,479
Speaker 1: They're too good, offensive line is too solid. Congratulations Joe

352
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: Moore Award for the second year in a row for

353
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: the University of Michigan. They're balanced, not just statistically but philosophically.

354
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: They're very, very balanced. Blake Koram has gone, Donovan Edwards

355
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: are still there. I think that Ohio State game probably

356
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: did wonders for JJ McCarthy's confidence. These things I think

357
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 1: I know. Here's what I want to know, though. Can

358
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: TCU move it consistently? Because the average about forty points

359
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: forty one points per game? Forty there it is forty

360
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: point three points per game this year, so they're sixth

361
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: in FBS when it comes to offensive points per game.

362
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 1: Their problem potentially is defensively. Michigan's fifth in total defense

363
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: points a lot of per game thirteen point three to eight.

364
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: We went to the second decimal place for you, that

365
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: is stats an info when it comes to playoff time.

366
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: So classic, classic irresistible force meeting the immovable object there.

367
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: It's no different than Hogan andre in nineteen eighty seven.

368
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,959
Speaker 1: What gives? Who gives are we watching this game at

369
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: the end of the first quarter saying, Oh, that's nasty.

370
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: TCU's got forty three total yards. What's happening They're getting stoned?

371
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: Or are we watching saying they got one hundred and

372
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: ninety yards in the first quarter. Boy, they're on pace

373
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: to do what? Wow? They popped it to Quinton Johnson

374
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: twice already. That's why we play the games, friends, That's

375
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: why we don't let us decided for us. We know

376
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: Michigan's favored, We're gonna go ahead and play it out anyway. TCU,

377
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: I don't think can get into this trap like Ohio

378
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: State did of convincing themselves. We gotta stop the running game.

379
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 1: Now for them, it was we got to stop Blake Korum,

380
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: which became we can't stop Donovan Edwards. You don't stop them.

381
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 1: Let me just spoil that for you. You don't stop those

382
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: running backs. They've got the kind of offensive line they have,

383
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: and they've got the kind of skill at tailback and

384
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: at quarterback frankly to where they will get their rushing

385
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: yards on you. You can win a game and give

386
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: up one hundred and sixty three yards on the ground.

387
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: You can do that. It happens all the time. Do

388
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: you play situationally good enough to win? Because here's the

389
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 1: kind of stat I would I would really focus my

390
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: gaze on. If I was TCU, I wouldn't be so

391
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: worried about the fact that Donovan Edwards ran it two

392
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: sixteen versus Ohio State one five versus Perdue his last

393
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 1: six games. Donovan Edwards eight point three yards per carry all.

394
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 1: That's very impressive, and congratulations to him in all sincerity.

395
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: Congratulations to him because I remember talking about that kid

396
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: National Signing Day last year and how big a pickup

397
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: he was for Michigan. You're not wasting your time. Stars

398
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 1: do matter, But That's not what I pay attention to.

399
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: If I were a TCU, I'd pay attention to the

400
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: fact that I once played Texas this year, and Texas

401
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: we thought had a really explosive offense. Texas was favored

402
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 1: against US by over a touchdown. Texas was supposed to

403
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: be the end of the line for our undefeated run,

404
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: and instead they scored zero offensive touchdowns against US. And

405
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,959
Speaker 1: I am led to believe that them being one of

406
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 1: thirteen on third down had a little bit to do

407
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: with that. Run the ball on me. I'm not asking

408
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: you to, but I expect you to. I need to

409
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 1: beat you on third down. I frankly don't care what

410
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 1: you do between the two twenties. I trust my offense enough.

411
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna have to hold you to seventeen or

412
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 1: ten points like it was that day in Austin, because, hey,

413
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: if I'm TCU, my offense was nothing to write home

414
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: about that day either. But if I can have not

415
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: that level of success but some success on third down,

416
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: that's how Michigan's rushing statistics could get a little warped

417
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 1: on you. And you still have it right there in

418
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: the palm of your hands. In the fourth quarter, both

419
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: of these teams are excellent second half teams. It did

420
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: not work out that way for TCU against Kansas State

421
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: necessarily in the Big twelve championship game. It did the

422
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 1: first time they played him. But hey, here's the flip

423
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: side of that coin. Michigan's been really good in the

424
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: second half too. If you're listening on podcast, there are

425
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: six games on the screen right now where Michigan either

426
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: trailed at the half or led by two points, one point,

427
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: six point. They ended up winning by twenty one, twenty four,

428
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: twenty two, thirty five, twenty two to twenty one. So

429
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: they've been a second half team too, which is why

430
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: I don't always say this, but I think it's imperative.

431
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: TCU is the one that grabs the early lead here,

432
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 1: and I don't necessarily mean, oh, it's seven to nothing

433
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: with thirteen thirty eight to go in the first quarter.

434
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: I just mean they need to They need to be very,

435
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: very multiple offensively in what they do because they've got

436
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: to have the stun gun effect. They probably got to

437
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 1: work the perimeter a whole lot. I think they've got

438
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,719
Speaker 1: the most underrated tailback in the postseason right now, but

439
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: they've got to be able to be multiple. Get Quintin

440
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: Johnson involved early, get that tailback involved early, Get Max

441
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 1: Duggan involved early. Because you got to score early. You

442
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: cannot be getting to the half against Michigan and it's

443
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: thirteen to ten. It's tied up. I know what's happening

444
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: in the second half. I know because I've watched these

445
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: teams all year. Let's take a look at what the

446
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 1: model thinks here, because we already know what the Vegas

447
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 1: number is. Right now, it's Michigan minus seven and a half.

448
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: And as we start to take a look at this,

449
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: and by the way, the model says eight, so it's

450
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 1: pretty tight line. I was at the semi final last

451
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,199
Speaker 1: year where Michigan played Georgia got beaten pretty soundly. I

452
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: shared this story last week. I think should have brought

453
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: the picture with me because it's the shame of it

454
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 1: is it's right here on my phone. But I can't

455
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 1: just show you the screen. That would be unprofessional. So

456
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: there we are on the field, Michigan loses to Georgia

457
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: and all these dudes are standing there, all these young

458
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: guys from Michigan. I'm standing off to the side and

459
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy's standing right next to me. Donovan Edwards is

460
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: standing right next to me. A corum I think had

461
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: been there. He was standing right next to me, And

462
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: they're just standing there watching Georgia. They're watching that confetti

463
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,479
Speaker 1: fall down, and they're they're not doing it way out

464
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: in the open where they're looking for publicity. They're close

465
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: to their tunnel, but they were just taking it in

466
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: And I remember looking and thinking, I really think these

467
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: dudes are going to be back. I don't think that's

468
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 1: the last time they're going to be on this platform,

469
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: on this stage. Well, here they are again. I'm mentioning

470
00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 1: that anecdotally because I know they've only been one. But

471
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: you talk to any coach and player who's played in

472
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: this environment, they tell you there is no substitute for

473
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 1: that experience. Everything about it not just the game. The

474
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: game's the least of it. This fields still the same dimensions,

475
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 1: still four fifteen minute quarters, All that's the same. It's

476
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: everything around it. It's really new, and so when you've

477
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: had the benefit of going through it and you're facing

478
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 1: someone who has it, it matters. I think Michigan's going

479
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 1: to win the game. I think Michigan's gonna end up

480
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: covering in the game. I believe this will be competitive

481
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: for a little while, and I believe this is a

482
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: worthy opponent for them. But the overall level of athlete

483
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: and that offensive line that Michigan has, I think they're

484
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: totally comfortable. If they don't pull away early, that's fine.

485
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: They hardly ever do. But what they don't do early,

486
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 1: they usually do eventually. Even against Ohio State, they even

487
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: succumb to it. So the odds to win the National

488
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 1: Championship right now Michigan's plus two ninety TCUs plus sixteen

489
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: hundred directly correlated, obviously with the fact that Michigan's favored

490
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: by over a touchdown in this game. I think last

491
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: year matters, and I think that they are going to

492
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,360
Speaker 1: take this thing, and I think they're going to cover.

493
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: I'm not calling blowout, but I am calling and as

494
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: it turns out, double digit Michigan win. Let's not take

495
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 1: a moment's break, except I got to take a little

496
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: sip out of the chalice, thank you, Challie. Let's continue.

497
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: Why not, because right after that game, we will have

498
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: the game that I'll be at in Atlanta, and that

499
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: is the Peach Bowl. And that one starts at eight

500
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: pm Eastern time, Colin, here's a better endpoint for you.

501
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 1: Ohio State, Georgia. That's right, the Buckeyes are in the playoffs.

502
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: In case you haven't heard, Peach Bowl eight o'clock New

503
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: Year's Eve. Who has more pressure on them? Here? You know,

504
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: history tells you if you're trying to repeat for something,

505
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,360
Speaker 1: that's when the pressure starts to build, isn't it. That's

506
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: normally the way it's happened. Guys talk about how much

507
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: the pressure build built, and how boy, there's a spotlight

508
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: on us. There were crosshairs on our forehead the whole year.

509
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: I think Ryan Day has immensely more pressure on him

510
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: than Kirby Smart could have. Right now, Kirby Smart would

511
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: never tell you this because he doesn't feel like this.

512
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 1: No one in the Georgia program would tell you this.

513
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: I on the outside am going to tell you it's

514
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 1: a total house money situation with them. If they lose

515
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: sixty three to ten to Ohio State. You know what,

516
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 1: they have a national championship last year. They're not defending

517
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: anything because you can't take it from them. So they're

518
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: just champs last year and they won the SEC this year.

519
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: That's what it would be for Ohio State if they

520
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: lose this, and especially if they lose it convincingly, you

521
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: got competitive pressure and you got hot seat pressure. I

522
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 1: do not believe Ryan Day would be on the hot seat.

523
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: I don't believe that, but you would be under so

524
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: much competitive pressure, which he already is. I would argue

525
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: there are people who doubt that guy, in his own

526
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 1: big chunk of him, doubt that guy's ability to get

527
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: this done. The reason I think this is such an

528
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 1: ironic matchup, it's because about a year ago they were

529
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: saying the same thing about the guy he's about to face.

530
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: They were saying the same thing about Kirby Smart. Which

531
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: is why I don't participate it or in it all

532
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: that much, because I know how quickly, how on a dime,

533
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: that stuff can shift. See if he wins this thing

534
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 1: and then they go on to win the national championship,

535
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, his stock is sky high. Especially

536
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: if they beat Michigan and Root to win in the championship,

537
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: all is forgiven. Look at right, what other coach out

538
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 1: there could have pulled the team from the ashes. And

539
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: in reality it's just eight quarters of football, you know,

540
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: So pressure is important here because it does one of

541
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: two things, the age old adage. Does it make a diamond?

542
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: Does it burst the pipe? Well, we saw what happened

543
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: in the first go around against Michigan. They get another

544
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: shot here, let's dive into the game. Did you see

545
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: in that Michigan game? Just speaking of which, did we

546
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: see what we thought we saw in that Michigan game?

547
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: I know what I saw. I still on the field

548
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: the whole game. I watched the replay like five times.

549
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,959
Speaker 1: I didn't see what some of you tell me you saw.

550
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: Some of you tell me you saw Michigan bully Ohio

551
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: State again. You saw him physically dominate Ohio State again.

552
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: Watch the game however you want to. That's not what

553
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: I saw saw. Convincing Michigan win though that scoreboard is

554
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: the only thing that matters, or is it. If your

555
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: season's over, that's all that matters. But if we're gonna

556
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: play more games, could I learn something from that game? Yeah?

557
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,719
Speaker 1: I think I could. I think your approach in that

558
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: game may have been detrimental. Now, sure enough, you may

559
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: have temporarily stopped them some things you wanted to stop,

560
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: But did the outcome of the game. Was that necessary?

561
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: To give up an exchange for stopping the run early

562
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: on against Michigan. Anyway, I say that to say, if

563
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: you didn't know any better, you would think Georgia is

564
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: about to physically manhandle Ohio State. That I don't think

565
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: is gonna happen. I think Georgia is the physically superior

566
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: team here. I think they're physically superior to everyone in America,

567
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: so I certainly would give them the physical advantage. But

568
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: I am not walking into Mercedes Been Stadium a couple

569
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: of weeks from now thinking what do we think midway

570
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: through the second quarter? Is that when the toll will

571
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: start to be paid, will we make it to havetime

572
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: or will it just be like the LSU game. I

573
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: don't expect that at all. I don't think anyone's really

574
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: underestimating Ohio State. You would make a grave mistake if

575
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: you thought physicality was going to count them out in

576
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: this game. Early. You may beat them, your favorite to

577
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: beat them. I don't think it's going to be strictly

578
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: because of that. That's the first thing. The most important

579
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: player in this game got one for each side, and

580
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: I want you to think along with me. I think

581
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: one side's easy. I don't think the other sides is easy.

582
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: In fact, Georgia fans, you're listening in Brunswick right now,

583
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: maybe Cairo mispronounced by some as kro Who's the most

584
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: important player on your team? If you're an Ohio State fan,

585
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,959
Speaker 1: you've already secretly been watching film. Who's the most important

586
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: player here? Ady Mitchell? I think is the most important

587
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: player on Georgia's team in this game? And I'm gonna

588
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: tell you why statistics can be deceiving. Sometimes you may

589
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: look at Ohio State's pass defense and say, nothing special, there,

590
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: nothing to write home about. Well, let's get a little

591
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: more nuanced late kickstats and info. Playoff special here they are.

592
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: McGrady is shining when it matters the most Ohio State

593
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: passing defense. They are second in the nation. Did you

594
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: know that? No you didn't, because I have to fine

595
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: tune the filter a little bit. Ohio State's passing defense

596
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: is second in the nation against running backs and tight ends.

597
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: There are one hundred and ninth in the nation against

598
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: wide receivers. What is the passing profile of this Georgia team?

599
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: Do they go four or five wide All American at receiver?

600
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: Of course they don't. Their leading receiver is a tie d.

601
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: He's a really good one. His name's Brock Bowers. Their

602
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: second leading receiver is a young man by the name

603
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: of Lad McConkie. None of you know him, just be

604
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: honest with you. I do. People who watch Georgia a

605
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: lot do the nation doesn't know Lad McConkie. I fully

606
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: expect him to clip that and listen to it over

607
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: and over again. I do the same thing. Their third

608
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: leading receiver is Kenny McIntosh, a running back. Their fourth

609
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: leading receiver is Darnell Washington, a tight end. Three of

610
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: the four are running backs and tight ends. That is

611
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: Georgia's receiving profile right now. Ohio State second in the

612
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: nation defending running backs and tight ends. It's the wide

613
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: receiver they struggle with. And so either that script is

614
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: gonna get flipped or someone's got to really step up

615
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: at wide receiver for Georgia. And I'll due credit to

616
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: Lad McConkie. Ad Mitchell's the guy who will probably have

617
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: to do that for Georgia. And it's funny because if

618
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: you go back and you think about the spring game

619
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: last year, it was the ad Mitchell Show. Then you

620
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: fast forward to the national championship game last year, Ady

621
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: Mitchell show, I have a sneaking suspicion if Georgia wins

622
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: this game, you're looking at a guy who could again

623
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: steal the show. Keep an eye, Keep an eye, because

624
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: Ohio State is surprisingly good defending the positions that Georgia

625
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: has leaned on in the past game. Here is the

626
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: other side of the coin. What am I going to

627
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: get out of CJ. Stroud? I'm sure I'm gonna get

628
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: a lot of passing yards, well, reasonably a lot of

629
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: passing yards. You've got to calibrate that expectation for what

630
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: you can do against Georgia defensively. I would love to

631
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: have Kirby Smart and Schumann could sit there, and Muschap

632
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: could sit there. They got like thirty seven defensive coordinators

633
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: in the room, and I would like doctor Colin and

634
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: Nurse Jesse. That's just the way the cards were drawn.

635
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, guys. I would like them to come in

636
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: here with truth serum in hand, and so we inject

637
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: all three of them, so they just have to be

638
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: honest with us. If I got them here and I

639
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: could ask them one question, I would ask him, how

640
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: much do you respect? CJ? Stroud's running ability because I

641
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: think that laugh. I think that saying we don't respect

642
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,439
Speaker 1: it at all, We're not worried about it. We dare

643
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: him to take off because that's what we've seen from

644
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,439
Speaker 1: him all year. Film don't lie at this point. It's

645
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: not like they've worked through four non conference games against

646
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: Katola Community College and Roast Beef Tech. He's played, and

647
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:34,839
Speaker 1: he's played in meaningful, high leverage, pressure situations. He won't

648
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 1: go over the cliff. Very good player, but he does

649
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: not have that in him. And so a guy that

650
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 1: you would you would look at and when you knew

651
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 1: about him coming out of high school, you would think

652
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: is going to give you a true dynamic dual threat.

653
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 1: You don't have that. But he does have the capability

654
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,240
Speaker 1: to do it. It's just and a couple of times

655
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 1: this year he has done it. I just wish he'd

656
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: do it more. I think they're gonna make him prove

657
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: he will do it, that he can. Will he do it?

658
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: Then and only then do you adjust your defensive game plan.

659
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: I it look, some guys will go over the cliff.

660
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:13,240
Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison is one of the baddest players in America

661
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 1: and probably the baddest on that team. I never doubt

662
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: that guy's willingness to look at the edge of the

663
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 1: cliff and run full speed right off. He just trusts

664
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: that he can fly. He'll figure it out on the

665
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 1: way down. Not everyone else on that team's like that,

666
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: and the quarterback's one of them. It's just the way

667
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: it's been this year. I'm not saying anything Buckeye fans

668
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: don't know. Well, here's the thing. You still got time

669
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,240
Speaker 1: to rectify that. You get what most people don't get.

670
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: If you're CJ. Stroud on Ohio State. You get a

671
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 1: second chance. And so there's the fan and it's spinning

672
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: full speed. Will you stick your face in it? That's

673
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,800
Speaker 1: why they recruited you, That's why they give you that

674
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: scarlet and gray helmet, and that's why they disproportionately put

675
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 1: the weight of the program on your back. You're the

676
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: quarterback at Ohio State. You gotta suck it up and

677
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 1: do some dirty work, especially if you're gonna beat Georgia.

678
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: So that's the first thing. The second thing I'm very

679
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 1: interested in is Georgia dominated Tennessee. Georgia just took the

680
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: life out of Tennessee's pass game. So there is a

681
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: school of thought out there that because Georgia so thoroughly

682
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: dismantled the Tennessee passing game and they didn't have any

683
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 1: success on them that day, Ohio State won't be much better.

684
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: I don't think you're throwing for four five hundred yards

685
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: on Georgia or anything like that, but I don't necessarily

686
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 1: think it's an apples to apples comparison. I was talking

687
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: to a defensive coordinator the other day and he said, well,

688
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: he asked me, actually, hey, what do you think about Georgia,

689
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: Like what do you expect them to do? And well,

690
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: I kind of beat around the bush as if to say,

691
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: what do you get in that? He said, look, they

692
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: they may lock down Ohio State too, but that Ohio

693
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 1: State passing game just conceptually is a world different than

694
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: what Tennessee does. And Tennessee you get them figured out early,

695
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 1: they're figured out. Ohio State little bit different. So I'm

696
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 1: in interested to see if there is a different kind

697
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 1: of effect here early. You know this kind of game

698
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: where we always get stuff unexpected. One of the unexpected

699
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:11,280
Speaker 1: things we could get is we're early in the second

700
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: quarter in Ohio State. It's got like one hundred and

701
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 1: seventy five yards passing. They've already hit two explosive plays.

702
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: They've done to Georgia what Michigan did to them. They

703
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: just do it earlier. If that happens, well, obviously it's

704
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 1: game on if that happens, because you're making the other

705
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 1: guys respond, you're making a match points instead of Georgia

706
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 1: just building an early lead and then suffocating you. But

707
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: all that is dependent on number one guys other than

708
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison Junior stepping up at receiver, which they're capable

709
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: of doing, and number two CJ. Stroud face push it in,

710
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: push it in the fan a little bit. How aggressive

711
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 1: will Georgia be because when we go back to that

712
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 1: Tennessee game, there was one thing they did that afternoon

713
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:53,879
Speaker 1: that they really hadn't done to that point this year,

714
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: and that is in true coach Yost fashion. It's like

715
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: it's like Kirby pulled them to the side right before

716
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: where they took the field after he went to Titus

717
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: and told him to call the game fair, and he

718
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:05,879
Speaker 1: just told him, blitz all night. They crossed the line

719
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, taking every last one of yacht. You just

720
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 1: blitz all night. Well, it was an afternoon game. They

721
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: blitzed all afternoon. They just got after him and Hooker

722
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: all afternoon. They normally don't do that. It's not their normally,

723
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: but it was that afternoon because they knew they could

724
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: do it. Do they feel like that puts them in

725
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: the best position to win? Do they go after CJ.

726
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: Stroud like that? It greatly helps if you know where

727
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: he's gonna be all the time. You see how those

728
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: legs keep coming into the equation. Boy, it sure does

729
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: make things different. A defensive coordinator, I am not, but

730
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: common sense I do have, and I know if I

731
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: can promise you're going to be pretty much in the

732
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 1: same spot every time. I'm not all that scared to blitch.

733
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: You just take my chances. If I don't know, it's

734
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 1: a little bit different ballgame. Let's take a look at

735
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,240
Speaker 1: what the model thinks compared to what Vegas thinks. Vegas

736
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: right now has Georgia minus six and a half. Depending

737
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: on when you're watching this video, that could have changed.

738
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 1: But right here tonight, December eighteenth, there's Georgia minus six

739
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 1: and a half. The model is a little bit more narrow,

740
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: got Georgia minus five and a half. I know it

741
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: sounds like I'm beating up on Ohio State here. I

742
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: think they got a really good shot to win the game,

743
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:17,959
Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna pick them to win the game

744
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: because the physically superior team here is also the one

745
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: that I trust to go over the cliff, and I

746
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 1: don't trust Ohio State to do that. So if this

747
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 1: gets to be a high leverage four quarter game, one

748
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: of these teams has a championship pedigree championship profile. The

749
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 1: other one has the capability to have that. I could

750
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: easily see Ohio State winning the game. I will make

751
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: them prove me wrong in order to do it. I'm

752
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: picking Georgia to win the game. If the model for

753
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: the Record had to pick a team and the spread,

754
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 1: it would be Ohio State plus points. I'm taking Georgia

755
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: to win the game. Current odds on favorite to win

756
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: the National Championship minus one thirty five. Ohio State is

757
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 1: plus three fifty and that is directly correlated with the

758
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 1: line on this game. Before we get to the playoff,

759
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:08,240
Speaker 1: oh let me take another ship here, not my only

760
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: means of hydration. By the way, it's been a while

761
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: since we pulled the public spring Water out. So just

762
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:19,280
Speaker 1: for photo ops sake, there's that you're listening on podcast.

763
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:24,280
Speaker 1: Ignore the last ten seconds. Let's dive into National Signing

764
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: Day talk. Hey, there's a lot getting ready to go down,

765
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: by the way, you know, this time last year, you

766
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 1: didn't know Travis Hunter was going to Jackson State. What's

767
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: going to happen this year? Okay, So here we go.

768
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: I got some things to keep an eye on as

769
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: National Signing Day approaches. One class I want you watching

770
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,240
Speaker 1: closely so you don't get taken by surprise is Oregon

771
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: Oregon right now, and I want to make sure I'm

772
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: up to date, up to the minute team rankings. Oregon

773
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 1: as of airtime has the thirteenth ranked class in the country.

774
00:40:55,160 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: Now here is the zoomed in version. Is their top

775
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,720
Speaker 1: rated player right now, five star quarterback, number eleven overall

776
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,839
Speaker 1: player in the country. He may stick with Oregon, he

777
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,760
Speaker 1: may not. There's a lot of smoke around UCLA right now.

778
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,439
Speaker 1: I don't know, because I haven't talked to him. I'm

779
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: just saying, obviously, that's a big pendulum swing potentially. Now

780
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: on the other side, that would be a sad day

781
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 1: for Oregon. On the other side, Hey, bo Nix is

782
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: coming back. That got announced right before the show, so

783
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 1: that's good. But also you've got Matteo ouing Angola lay

784
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 1: in the mix and by default dj Ouangala in the mix.

785
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: One via recruiting, one via the transfer portal. Could be

786
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,839
Speaker 1: a package deal. We don't know. They're still in it

787
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 1: for Caden Proctor, top overall offensive tackle out of Iowa,

788
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:48,280
Speaker 1: who is in Tuscaloosa as we speak. This class could

789
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: easily finish in the top ten. In fact, I think

790
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 1: they will finish in the top ten. Talking to Willfong

791
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: last week we had him on the show, he said, Hey,

792
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,399
Speaker 1: if they were to keep Dante, Moore and Land all

793
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 1: these guys, if they thread the needle, you're looking at

794
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 1: potentially a top five class. Keith and eye On Oregan.

795
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: One way or another. I think they're going to be

796
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: a big mover on National Signing Day, and that's this Wednesday, Miami.

797
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:10,839
Speaker 1: I don't think I need to say anything else at

798
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,359
Speaker 1: this point, but I am going to, in a friendly way,

799
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 1: remind you Miami is on a warpath right now. It's

800
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 1: not over. They are currently ranked number four and they

801
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: could shock the world. You know, if you want to

802
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 1: look around at shock potential when you've got the staff

803
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 1: they do, you got the resources they do, and you've

804
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: had the time that they've had. They weren't in a

805
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: conference title game, they aren't Bowl prepping. It's just been

806
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: recruiting NonStop. If something comes out of nowhere Wednesday, you

807
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: could be looking at the culprit right there, Mario Cristoball.

808
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 1: They're in it for Mark Fletcher, just an example. It's

809
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: a four star running back. Right now, the crystal ball

810
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 1: would favor I think still Florida. There's a lot of

811
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:02,760
Speaker 1: smoke around Mark Flet're in Miami, so just one player

812
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on. Inside. The U has a

813
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: lot on this. I think they had to rap a

814
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,839
Speaker 1: few hours ago. About this weekend. You've got the dead

815
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: period kicking in at midnight tonight. They're in it for

816
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: Demani Brown. That's a four star safety. He's got a brother,

817
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 1: by the way, a dB at UCF didn't give up

818
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: a touchdown this year. Could be a package situation there.

819
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 1: So they're fourth right now. They could go higher, just

820
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on Miami, as is usually the case,

821
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,359
Speaker 1: As is tradition this time of year, we're not going

822
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,359
Speaker 1: to do a national signing Day what to keep your

823
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 1: eyes on segment without talking about Nick Saban still the

824
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: head coach at Alabama as of tonight, where are they ranked? Fifteenth? Sixteenth?

825
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 1: Oh no, they got the number one class in the country.

826
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 1: They they're not done. So they got the number one

827
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 1: class in the country. They solidly have the number one

828
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,720
Speaker 1: class in the country. They are in it with multiple

829
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 1: additional five star players, and producer Jesse and I were

830
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,760
Speaker 1: doing some quick math today. It's not likely they land

831
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,879
Speaker 1: all these guys, but there's a path where Bama ends

832
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 1: up with like one of the highest rated classes ever

833
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 1: and it's not even all that far out of the

834
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 1: realm of possibility. James Smith and Quay Russaw, the two

835
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:16,240
Speaker 1: Montgomery kids, both five star caliber guys. In my mind,

836
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 1: they're in it for both of them. Caden Proctor is

837
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: in town right now, this five star offensive tackle out

838
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 1: of Des Moines, Desmond, Rix. They're in it for. They're

839
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: going to have a class ranked in the three twenties.

840
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:29,959
Speaker 1: I have no doubt about that. Is it the low

841
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 1: three twenties, upper three twenties? Could Nick Saban care less? No?

842
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: But I do. I'm fascinated by such things. They are

843
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: putting together one of their best recruiting classes they've ever had,

844
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 1: So you make of that what you will. It certainly

845
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: does not feel like anyone's hit the brakes, even in

846
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 1: the slightest in Tuscaloosa. And because I know they've become

847
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 1: your favorite program on the show, why don't I just

848
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 1: blanketly mentioned Colorado? I don't have a single name. That's

849
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 1: the point. This time last year, Deon Sanders was at

850
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:05,359
Speaker 1: Jackson State and Travis Hunter seemed like the biggest lock

851
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 1: in the world. He'd been locked in with FSU for

852
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 1: months and we're getting ready to just formalize it on

853
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 1: National Signing Day, and then mushroom cloud over the whole operation,

854
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 1: and come one o'clock in the afternoon, we had talked

855
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:20,839
Speaker 1: to more Jackson State on the show than we had

856
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 1: A and M and A and M landed the top

857
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 1: ranked class of all time. Is he going to do

858
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 1: that again this year? I wouldn't bet against him. I

859
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,760
Speaker 1: have no clue who we're talking about. That's the whole point.

860
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have known to mention Travis Hunter last year,

861
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 1: but I know what kind of traction his arrival at

862
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: Colorado's gotten I know there are a lot of kids interested,

863
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 1: and I know the last thing they're incentivized to do

864
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,360
Speaker 1: is let you know. They're planning to shock the world

865
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 1: if they do. Indeed, plan on shocking the world. So

866
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: let's just keep an eye on Colorado for very generic

867
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: but obvious reasons. National Signing Day is Wednesday. We were

868
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 1: going to be Wallda Wall all day on the twenty

869
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: four to seven Sports YouTube channel, which is different than

870
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: this one, So actually we're gonna have two specials. We'll

871
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,400
Speaker 1: have that Signing Day show all day. Make sure you

872
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:11,320
Speaker 1: are subscribed to the twenty four seven Sports YouTube channel.

873
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 1: Then after the dust settles, we'll be right back here

874
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 1: on the Lake Kick YouTube channel that night and we'll

875
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 1: do a recap show. And if that wasn't enough, I

876
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 1: got more to talk to you about. I told you

877
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: there's a lot going on, lot going on. Transfer portal

878
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 1: still a blaze, and we've got a lot of movement

879
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 1: going on, So buckle up, I've got at least six

880
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 1: to talk to you about. Javon Cohen has committed to Miami.

881
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 1: This happened today that it was was the number one

882
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 1: rated offensive lineman in the transfer portal from Alabama a

883
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 1: number eight overall player, and he is now a Miami Hurricane.

884
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 1: And keep in mind, you gotta view this not in

885
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,839
Speaker 1: a vacuum. You got to view this sort of in

886
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:54,800
Speaker 1: conjunction with what Miami's doing in recruiting. They got the

887
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 1: number one offensive lineman out of the portal. Here, They've

888
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 1: got two five star tackles committed, both of whom figure

889
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 1: to play early. I mean, I'm not promising play in time,

890
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 1: but good grief, you show up with no casts on

891
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 1: your legs, you're probably gonna play on offensive line from

892
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:15,479
Speaker 1: Miami next year. So j ViOn Cohen, he's in the barn.

893
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 1: He's done, six four, three oh five, just played at

894
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 1: Alabama last year. He was a starter at Alabama's That's

895
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:26,799
Speaker 1: one domino today. Another one we're waiting to fall that

896
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 1: hasn't fallen yet is Devon Leary, quarterback, once from NC State.

897
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 1: I guess we don't refer to him as being from

898
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 1: there anymore. Now. Look, he visited Auburn this weekend, which

899
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 1: is noteworthy because when we last spoke, we thought Grayson McCall,

900
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 1: quarterback from Coastal Carolina, we thought he was visiting Auburn.

901
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 1: He didn't. Devin Leary did. So you may think uh

902
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 1: oh's Hugh Free is about to land him. Well, not

903
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:53,360
Speaker 1: if the Crystal Ball has anything to say about it,

904
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 1: because a couple of our guys, Hummer included, I think,

905
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 1: seemed to think that Kentucky is the betting favorite. I

906
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 1: know a lot of folks inside that program at Kentucky

907
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 1: think that they are the betting favorite to land Devin Leary.

908
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 1: So is mister Leary going to dive into the SEC

909
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:11,759
Speaker 1: and if he does, is it going to be the

910
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 1: University of Kentucky that lands his services? We'll see Rivaldo

911
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 1: Fairweather speaking of one of those programs. This is a

912
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 1: guy I told you to keep an eye on. He

913
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 1: is committed to Auburn. That's the tight end from FIU

914
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 1: who most of you haven't heard about, but I need

915
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 1: you to know. Rivaldo Fairweather six five, two forty five

916
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:33,240
Speaker 1: spoke about him last week, had that big game against

917
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 1: Middle Tennessee eight catches, one hundred and sixty two yards,

918
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 1: three scores. Started playing football. I believe his junior year

919
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,959
Speaker 1: of high school just a basketball guy before that, ultra long,

920
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 1: ultra athletic, and I think that he along with Jaheim

921
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,399
Speaker 1: Bell two tight end transfers, one going to Auburn, one

922
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 1: going to FSU. I think they have dropped themselves in

923
00:48:55,600 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 1: prime position to just be breakout players offensively this upcoming year,

924
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 1: because there is not a ton of firepower on that

925
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 1: Auburn offense right now. And he is a guy you're

926
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: looking at some of his highlights right now if you're

927
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:09,880
Speaker 1: watching on YouTube. He's a guy who can be a

928
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 1: game changer for you. And so in an era where

929
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 1: everyone's in love with those those flexible tight ends, he

930
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:19,839
Speaker 1: is one of them. And Hugh Frees probably turning cart

931
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:24,799
Speaker 1: wheels down there today overlanding his commitment. Ernest Houseman has

932
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 1: committed to Michigan and he got reclassified, not reclassified. I

933
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 1: guess he got to reevaluate him. So sometimes because so

934
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:35,920
Speaker 1: many guys are going in the portal, you just you

935
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:37,879
Speaker 1: put a grade on him and then you say, okay,

936
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:39,839
Speaker 1: that's a tentative grade. It's kind of like when you're

937
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 1: rating tornadoes preliminary. It's an EF two. We could bump

938
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 1: it up to an EF three later. Well, Ernest Houseman

939
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 1: got bumped up. He was like an EF four. Now

940
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:50,719
Speaker 1: he's an e F five because he's the number one

941
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:53,400
Speaker 1: overall rated player in the transfer portal, but he's not

942
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:56,879
Speaker 1: in the portal because he's committed to Michigan. Michigan's killing

943
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 1: it in the transfer portal, and I think you probably

944
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 1: are aware of in the playoffs, so good things are

945
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 1: happening at Michigan. He was a linebacker at Nebraska. This year,

946
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 1: Michigan got a good close look at him because I

947
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 1: think he had ten tackles against them. He had twelve

948
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 1: tackles against Wisconsin. He's a true freshman. This past year

949
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 1: he had fifty four tackles. He's good and so Michigan

950
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:20,719
Speaker 1: again finding guys in the middle, the interior of their defense.

951
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 1: Very low risk, very high reward. Here ernest houseman to Michigan.

952
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 1: Keyanta Goodwin is in the portal now. If you were

953
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 1: watching signing day last year, that was one I think

954
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,839
Speaker 1: we did live. He was six' eight coming out of high,

955
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:39,840
Speaker 1: school by the, way offensive, tackle highest rated recruit that

956
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 1: they've had In lexington in, forever and he was a true. Freshman.

957
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:46,839
Speaker 1: Jesse how many games did he play in as a true.

958
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 1: FRESHMAN i think he played in like every one of.

959
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 1: Them he was how Many alembic, games so they played,

960
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 1: twelve so he was eleven games out of twelve this

961
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:57,880
Speaker 1: year as a true. Freshman he's entered the transfer. Portal,

962
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: REMEMBER i don't know That i've ever in. FOOTBALL i

963
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:03,359
Speaker 1: don't know That i've ever seen a recruitment come down

964
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 1: To kentucky And Michigan. State but this one did. Well

965
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 1: now he's in the portal and there's a smoke Around.

966
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:12,320
Speaker 1: Louisville i'm not sure how much smoke there is Around Michigan.

967

968
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 1: entry BUT. Gianta goodwin is a, massive massive human six'

969
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 1: eight three p forty best football clearly still ahead, of

970
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:27,720
Speaker 1: him you, Would think and so that guy now could

971
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 1: be the number one overall rated player in the portal

972
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:34,880

00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:28,239
Speaker 1: look i watched him as. A freshman i was sort

987
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 1: of enamored. WITH him i think his growth got stunted

988
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 1: a little bit because he was just wasn't playing for

989
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:36,560

Speaker 1: not if, not immediately then pretty. Quickly thereafter and that's

1025
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:30,759
Speaker 1: how it. Went down the next one. Is sad if

Speaker 1: seven and your boy here only put an eight and

1030
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 1: a half on the. Boldness Scale and i'm not ready.

1031
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 1: TO apologize i grew up near. THIS program i have

1032
00:54:55,080 --> 00:55:00,319
Speaker 1: Watched the sorcery And, the wizardry probably just out right

1033
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 1: witchcraft that has happened with. That program when expectations, are,

1034
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 1: low nothing no record Prediction about auburn football will ever

1035
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 1: be more than an eight and a half, from ME

1036
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:13,879
Speaker 1: because i know. My history, so no they didn't come

1037
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:18,839
Speaker 1: close to winning nine games, this YEAR but i put

1038
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:21,280
Speaker 1: the same rating on it again When That penn state

1039
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 1: game happened in week three and we were there. For

1040
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:27,239
Speaker 1: it things really got wobbly really quickly. After that if

1041
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 1: it was a, close loss it would have. Been different

1042
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:32,160
Speaker 1: but they got thumped that day and they never really got.

1043
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:35,479
Speaker 1: It back they LOST to lsu, After, That, georgia Ole,

1044
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:40,760
Speaker 1: Miss Arkansas, MISSISSIPPI, state Bama And brian harson's out and,

1045
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:45,279
Speaker 1: that's it and that's all Moving On. West virginia since

1046
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 1: we're in the how many games are you? Gonna? Win category,

1047
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:52,239
Speaker 1: Right now, Mitch Said, west virginia. They're over under was

1048
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:54,239
Speaker 1: five and a. Half wins, he said hammer the over.

1049
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:57,880
Speaker 1: With confidence my bold prediction is if the line, is

1050
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:01,319
Speaker 1: seven still take. The over so they're gonna win more than.

1051
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 1: Seven Games west virginia went five. And seven mitch crashed.

1052
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 1: And burned here's. THE problem i Agreed, with mitch and

1053
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:12,760
Speaker 1: so we both crashed. And burned how did we? Get, fooled,

1054
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:17,960
Speaker 1: well THEY as, i recall had to rework. Their secondary

1055
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 1: BUT elsewhere i felt pretty good about. The team and

1056
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 1: they lost, a close competitive game to PITT which i

1057
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 1: thought they should. Have WON and i never, say that

1058
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:28,919
Speaker 1: but truly thought they should have. Won it in. Week

1059
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,839
Speaker 1: one that wasn't. The problem the problem was then they

1060
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 1: got Handled by kansas the, next week which did not

1061
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:36,720
Speaker 1: turn out to be the worst thing in. The world

1062
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 1: but they never got on any kind. Of role they

1063
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:41,799
Speaker 1: never won more than two games in a row at,

1101
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:03,280
Speaker 1: but i think we know. The answer the bold prediction

1102
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:05,880
Speaker 1: was after signing the number one class in the country,

1103
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:08,440
Speaker 1: Last YEAR texas A and m will not land in

1104
00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 1: the top twenty for their twenty twenty three. Recruiting, CLASS

1105
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:15,120
Speaker 1: now i know that you may have Heard THAT texas

1106
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:17,080
Speaker 1: A and m is not exactly parked right up there

1107
00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 1: in the top five, this year and. They're not but

1108
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 1: they are, still fifteenth and they do have the fifth

1109
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:27,440
Speaker 1: highest average grade per player in. The cycle they're just

1110
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:29,480
Speaker 1: not taking a lot of kids. THIS year, i mean

1111
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:32,120
Speaker 1: their average player is ninety two point four. To four

1112
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 1: only four teams will the higher recruit average grade. Than

1113
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:39,520
Speaker 1: that but they're sixth IN the sec if that means anything.

1114
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:42,120
Speaker 1: To you but there. They are they're parked. At fifteenth

1115
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 1: they've still. Got guys they're in, it four so they'll.

1116
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 1: Close strong they'll. Be fine they'll finish where would, You

1117
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:50,280
Speaker 1: guess jesse somewhere between like eight and twelve or somewhere,

1118
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:53,200
Speaker 1: like that probably. Maybe out they're not going to finish

1119
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:55,600
Speaker 1: outside the. Top twenty that's. The POINT so i put

1120
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 1: a nine point five on this as a, boldness Rating and.

1121
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:01,720
Speaker 1: I'm right if you would have set outside the, top

1122
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:04,440
Speaker 1: ten that's where it would have been fun. And competitive

1123
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 1: they're not finishing outside the top twenty and that concludes.
