0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:50.559
<v Speaker 1>Trust issues.

0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:53.560
<v Speaker 3>We went through a bunch of the big games, not all,

0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:58.560
<v Speaker 3>but most window by window, and we examined each from

0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:02.240
<v Speaker 3>the standpoint of trust. Can we trust bon Nicks? Can

0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 3>we trust Texas A and M? Can we trust James

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 3>Franklin to put in the right damn quarterback? Stuff like

0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:11.800

<v Speaker 3>In the meantime, here is that clip enjoy your Week eight?

0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:36.880
<v Speaker 3>Trust you little indecent proposal?

0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:41.440
<v Speaker 2>Right yeah, at everybody on the tip of everybody's tongue,

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:44.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry. Is that Michael Douglas and Demi Moore from

0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 2>nineteen ninety whatever, it's Woody Harrelson.

0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:53.400
<v Speaker 3>I trust you, then we're even. Let's go through all

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:57.560
<v Speaker 3>that Week eight has to offer. Let's start in the

0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 3>early block, Dan, I want to frame all of these

0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:03.240
<v Speaker 3>games that I'm going to mention, by.

0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:05.960
<v Speaker 2>The way, it was Robert Redford, not what Michael Douglass,

0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:09.440
<v Speaker 2>the older gentleman. I am ashamed of myself and I apologize.

0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:11.520
<v Speaker 2>I want to frame all of these around the issue

0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 2>of trust. Do we trust certain entities?

0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:19.360
<v Speaker 3>So, for example, twelve pm on Fox Iowa against Ohio State,

0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:22.799
<v Speaker 3>Ohio State favored by thirty points. Now this line has

0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:27.680
<v Speaker 3>grown significantly. The question is simple, do we trust Ohio

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:31.800
<v Speaker 3>State's offense to cover thirty points? Do we trust Ohio

0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:35.600
<v Speaker 3>State enough against a good defense, maybe the best defense

0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:38.519
<v Speaker 3>they've seen yet, to cover this large of a number.

0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 2>Man, it's just I don't even trust either of those

0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:47.080
<v Speaker 2>things fully that Iowa has a great defense. I think

0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:50.239
<v Speaker 2>they have a good defense, but I don't know. It's

0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:52.399
<v Speaker 2>one of those things where like, are they great? Would

0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:54.760
<v Speaker 2>they be better with an average offense? Probably they'd be

0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 2>on the field less, But I don't know. The Big

0:02:57.919 --> 0:02:59.639
<v Speaker 2>ten is sort of all over the place in their

0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:01.600
<v Speaker 2>schedule has been sort of all over the place that

0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:04.520
<v Speaker 2>they've performed like a good defense, but I'm still I'm

0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:06.400
<v Speaker 2>still not fully there, even though I think, what are

0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 2>they the number one SP plus defense in America right now?

0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Very good?

0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:10.160
<v Speaker 3>Very good?

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they're very good. So Ohio State will put it

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:16.480
<v Speaker 2>to the test. And Ohio State's own schedule is I

0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:19.520
<v Speaker 2>don't know, kind of disappointing, like it just in terms

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:21.760
<v Speaker 2>of there the list of opponents, like Notre Dame that

0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:23.960
<v Speaker 2>was their starting quarterback and the defense played well for

0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.280
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame and Ohio State's offense took a second to

0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:30.480
<v Speaker 2>get going. But Wisconsin, Rutgers, Michigan State, Toledo, Arkansas State, Like,

0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:35.800
<v Speaker 2>do you trust those results? I say not fully.

0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean it's hard to say, right, it's hard

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.480
<v Speaker 3>to say. I mean, obviously, Ohio State at least the

0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 3>players on Ohio State don't have much control over who

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:47.200
<v Speaker 3>they play. They've taken care of business to the best

0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:49.839
<v Speaker 3>of their ability thus far. We've got some activity here

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 3>in the chat. Somebody's saying bucks by thirty five, Iowa

0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 3>can't score, They're gonna cover. I mean, it's all fair.

0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:58.920
<v Speaker 3>I went Iowa in this one.

0:03:59.440 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 1>I went Iowa.

0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:02.200
<v Speaker 3>I thought about putting it in my Picks of the

0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:04.200
<v Speaker 3>week here, I decided not to because I'm not that

0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:07.279
<v Speaker 3>confident about it. But thirty just seems like an excessively

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:09.280
<v Speaker 3>large number and I can't get behind, so I do

0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:11.440
<v Speaker 3>not trust oh So what is defense?

0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:14.000
<v Speaker 2>How many points do you think Iowa's offense can score?

0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:15.680
<v Speaker 2>That's the question right now? How many points do you

0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.919
<v Speaker 2>trust Iowa's offense to score in this matchup against a

0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:21.360
<v Speaker 2>good but still kind of beat up and I mean

0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:23.360
<v Speaker 2>flawed because of the injuries defense.

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:24.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to say seventeen.

0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:28.880
<v Speaker 2>You think Iowa can score seventeen points against Ohio State's team?

0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Seventeen? Out your mind?

0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 3>Ohio State wins like forty one seventeen and Iowa covers.

0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:40.599
<v Speaker 2>What what have you seen Iowa's offense? I mean, look, nothing,

0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:42.600
<v Speaker 2>They scored how many points against Illinois? Six?

0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:46.200
<v Speaker 1>Say, six whole points? Yes, I don't see it, man.

0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:49.000
<v Speaker 2>I think it's sort of by default at this point,

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 2>because I went back and forth with you on our

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:53.839
<v Speaker 2>preview show about Ohio State covering. But one thing you

0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.440
<v Speaker 2>have to remember too, is against you know, Michigan State

0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 2>or wreckers of wisconsinever, they pulled their starters before the

0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:03.080
<v Speaker 2>fourth cour right around then, right, Like it's the old adage,

0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:05.080
<v Speaker 2>the old message board adage that like, oh they could

0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:09.400
<v Speaker 2>have hung eighty, They're not going to hang eighty against Iowa.

0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:12.599
<v Speaker 2>But I'm just saying there is something about Ohio State

0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:14.200
<v Speaker 2>where this is they're coming off of.

0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:17.159
<v Speaker 1>By yes, right, that's correct, So like.

0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:20.479
<v Speaker 2>Get a little bit healthier, right, I just I can't

0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:22.440
<v Speaker 2>get there with Iowa of scoring more than ten or

0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:23.240
<v Speaker 2>thirteen points.

0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:24.640
<v Speaker 3>Let me know in the chat. Let me know in

0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:27.279
<v Speaker 3>the chat. Okay, what everyone thinks?

0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:28.400
<v Speaker 1>How many points?

0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:30.760
<v Speaker 3>How many points is Iowa scoring? I'm taking Iowa plus

0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:33.560
<v Speaker 3>the points here, let's stick in that noon block. Here's

0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:36.640
<v Speaker 3>another interesting game, a game that I don't know if

0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:39.760
<v Speaker 3>we thought would be interesting at this point. Maybe I

0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:42.440
<v Speaker 3>don't know eight weeks ago, right, Okay, eight, maybe even

0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:46.800
<v Speaker 3>like three weeks ago. But Syracuse on the road six

0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:49.960
<v Speaker 3>and oh ranked Syracuse, what are they fourteenth, thirteenth, something

0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:52.680
<v Speaker 3>like that. They're a top fifteen team right now on

0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:56.039
<v Speaker 3>the road at Clemson, Clemson favored by thirteen and a

0:05:56.080 --> 0:06:02.040
<v Speaker 3>half points. Do we trust Syracuse enough from home away

0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:02.679
<v Speaker 3>from home.

0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:04.279
<v Speaker 1>To keep this one close against Clemson?

0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:08.000
<v Speaker 2>It's that last caveat there.

0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Away from home.

0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:10.760
<v Speaker 2>They've played one road game, it was at Yukon on

0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:16.400
<v Speaker 2>an especially dangerous hornet's nest of a location. I trust

0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:18.800
<v Speaker 2>them because of the number of things that they do

0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:22.280
<v Speaker 2>competently to keep it close. I think I still trust

0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 2>Clemson more because of their big playability on offense to separate,

0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:27.800
<v Speaker 2>and you know we see it, you know, weekend and

0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.360
<v Speaker 2>week out, even when Clemson's not excellent, that middle eighth

0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:33.440
<v Speaker 2>thing where they're able to, you know, get that burst,

0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:36.400
<v Speaker 2>that window of a burst, that burst of a window whatever,

0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.120
<v Speaker 2>where all of a sudden they turn a close game

0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:40.760
<v Speaker 2>into a not so close game. And I think they

0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 2>can do that against Syracuse. I think they can turn

0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 2>over Garrett Schrader And the one thing I absolutely do

0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:50.840
<v Speaker 2>not trust about Syracuse is if Clemson goes up twenty

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:54.120
<v Speaker 2>to seven. What does that do in terms of changing

0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:56.920
<v Speaker 2>the calculus? Is there are patients from Syracuse and continuing

0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:59.159
<v Speaker 2>to run the ball and trust that their defense is

0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:01.719
<v Speaker 2>going to adjust and figure out Clemson on offense. That

0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:04.560
<v Speaker 2>to me is the question, because I think if we're

0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:06.800
<v Speaker 2>talking about which team is likelier to go up twenty

0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:11.360
<v Speaker 2>to seven, it's Clemson very clearly. And so that worries

0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:13.440
<v Speaker 2>me that even though Syracuse is competent in a number

0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:16.040
<v Speaker 2>of ways, and I do trust the different ways that

0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:19.760
<v Speaker 2>Syracuse can succeed, I don't trust them to have the

0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:22.800
<v Speaker 2>same kind of burst that Clemson does. So I'm going

0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:24.720
<v Speaker 2>to say I trust Clemson a little bit more at

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.120
<v Speaker 2>home as they themselves continue to figure things out.

0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:31.160
<v Speaker 3>First off, Daniel, how dare you be smirch the name

0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:34.640
<v Speaker 3>of good Renschler Field at Pratt and Whitney Stadium up

0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:39.680
<v Speaker 3>at Yukon. You took time the hornet's nest that is

0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:40.560
<v Speaker 3>Renchler Field.

0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:43.240
<v Speaker 2>You took the time during my answer, or you could

0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:46.640
<v Speaker 2>have been soaking up brilliant insight to look up Yukon's

0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:47.520
<v Speaker 2>home field name.

0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:53.320
<v Speaker 3>First off, yes, I did absolutely. Secondly, how dear, look,

0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:56.240
<v Speaker 3>everything you said is accurate. Everything you said is accurate.

0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:58.040
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to give away the game too much

0:07:58.080 --> 0:07:59.840
<v Speaker 3>here because this is going to be one of my

0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:03.000
<v Speaker 3>tie versus the World picks a little bit later on

0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:06.720
<v Speaker 3>in the broadcast. But what I will say and something

0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:09.400
<v Speaker 3>to watch out for. You know, if you're watching this game,

0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:11.840
<v Speaker 3>either it gets out of hand or it doesn't.

0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it's close. I hope it's close.

0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:15.440
<v Speaker 3>But if you're at home, if you've got an adult

0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:18.600
<v Speaker 3>beverage in front of you, one drink, let's say half

0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:21.320
<v Speaker 3>of half a can of whatever, you got, whatever you're into.

0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:25.840
<v Speaker 3>For every haphazard throw that we get from Garrett Strader,

0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:29.280
<v Speaker 3>because for as good as he's been this season mm hmm,

0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:33.160
<v Speaker 3>there are a couple stinker passes in him. Of course,

0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:35.520
<v Speaker 3>there are a couple stinkers where it's like, wait, why

0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:38.280
<v Speaker 3>did he what did he see there? Why did he?

0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:40.440
<v Speaker 3>We saw it last week, We've seen it pretty much

0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:43.080
<v Speaker 3>every week this year. There's two to three of them

0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:46.080
<v Speaker 3>every week where you cannot figure out, for the life

0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:48.040
<v Speaker 3>of you why he decided to make the throw. And

0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:49.839
<v Speaker 3>believe me, when you see them, you'll know them. You

0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:51.360
<v Speaker 3>don't have to stretch to try and figure out what

0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:53.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm talking about, you will see him airmail a couple

0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:56.840
<v Speaker 3>of balls and be like, Okay, that's what time meant.

0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:01.240
<v Speaker 2>I agree. There's a number of underling things about Clemson

0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:03.240
<v Speaker 2>that still has me a little bit worried that if

0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Syracuse is in a better place creatively on offense than say,

0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:09.920
<v Speaker 2>NC State, if they're in a better place in terms

0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:16.360
<v Speaker 2>of creativity and effectiveness on defense than Florida State, that

0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:21.040
<v Speaker 2>Syracuse can keep it close and just draft late behind

0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:23.400
<v Speaker 2>the opportunity truck in this one, that they can hang

0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:28.120
<v Speaker 2>around just well enough that there is a certain assumption

0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:30.800
<v Speaker 2>I think I am making, and I think people are

0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:33.920
<v Speaker 2>making as well, that DJU is now good.

0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:36.560
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know if I'm fully there.

0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:39.839
<v Speaker 2>I want to see, and I don't know if it's

0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:41.880
<v Speaker 2>fully his fault, to be clear, And we've talked about

0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:44.760
<v Speaker 2>the receiving core not being anywhere near where it's been

0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:48.160
<v Speaker 2>lately at Clemson, but I don't know. They're not generating

0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:51.040
<v Speaker 2>a ton of plays downfield even still, and they did

0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:53.280
<v Speaker 2>better against Wake Forest, but that defense is I think

0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:58.040
<v Speaker 2>considerably leakier than Syracuse's. Where I'm just not fully there

0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:02.920
<v Speaker 2>that DJU has completely turned the corner by the way,

0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:04.880
<v Speaker 2>for what it's worth, Patrick in the chat says he's

0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:07.079
<v Speaker 2>been to East Hartford and it is a scary place.

0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:08.559
<v Speaker 1>So I believe that.

0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:13.200
<v Speaker 3>Have you know, mister Rubinstein, which of these four teams

0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:17.760
<v Speaker 3>you trust the most? Kansas, Baylor, Duke, Miami if you

0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:22.360
<v Speaker 3>had to rank them most trustworthy to least trustworthy. Kansas

0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:25.160
<v Speaker 3>is squaring off against Baylor this week. Baylor now a

0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:27.640
<v Speaker 3>nine and a half point favorite, which will believe me,

0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.160
<v Speaker 3>We'll come back to that one here in a little bit. Also,

0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:34.600
<v Speaker 3>Duke is a nine point dog on the road at Miami.

0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:38.480
<v Speaker 3>So of those four, is it fair to say that

0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:40.400
<v Speaker 3>Kansas is the most trustworthy at this point?

0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:43.800
<v Speaker 2>With a backup quarterback with a defense that I still

0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:47.400
<v Speaker 2>have questions about. It's I guess it depends what you

0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:50.199
<v Speaker 2>mean by trustworthy. Like I have a good amount of

0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:52.560
<v Speaker 2>trust in what Miami Canon can't do at this point,

0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:55.160
<v Speaker 2>I have a good amount of trust in what Who

0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:58.080
<v Speaker 2>else did you mention mentioned? Duke, Baylor and Kansas.

0:10:57.720 --> 0:10:59.960
<v Speaker 3>Duke, Baylor, Kansas and Miami.

0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:03.760
<v Speaker 2>I think Baylor's the most trustworthy team that I don't

0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:04.920
<v Speaker 2>think anybody's going to.

0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Blow Baylor out.

0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:09.080
<v Speaker 2>Like I trust Baylor to be competitive in all of

0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:12.439
<v Speaker 2>their matchups and to do enough well to put themselves

0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:14.800
<v Speaker 2>in a position to win even if they don't. And

0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:17.440
<v Speaker 2>so will they play down two opponents. They absolutely will,

0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:20.040
<v Speaker 2>They definitely will. But I don't think they're necessarily the

0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:21.600
<v Speaker 2>team that they were in the first couple weeks of

0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:24.320
<v Speaker 2>the season. So I think Baylor of that grouping, is

0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:27.040
<v Speaker 2>the most trustworthy team to compete and win.

0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:30.120
<v Speaker 3>I think it's Kansas man. I'm going Kansas one, Baylor two.

0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:34.000
<v Speaker 3>I think Duke is three. I put Miami four. Miami

0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:36.400
<v Speaker 3>has been the least trustworthy of all these four teams

0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:38.280
<v Speaker 3>so far this year. If you look at what they've

0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:42.200
<v Speaker 3>done all of their six games, quite literally, all six

0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:45.320
<v Speaker 3>of their games, they've underperformed their projections. This is a

0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:50.679
<v Speaker 3>team that got up and was up for the entirety

0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:54.000
<v Speaker 3>of the game last week against Virginia Tech twenty to zero,

0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:58.480
<v Speaker 3>gave up fourteen points fourth quarter. Anyone who bet Virginia

0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:00.080
<v Speaker 3>Tech ends up getting the cover in the win. Now,

0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:02.160
<v Speaker 3>of course they don't care about the point spread, but

0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:06.400
<v Speaker 3>I just think that it makes them untrustworthy when you

0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:09.600
<v Speaker 3>see them basically mailing it in the fourth quarter the

0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:12.319
<v Speaker 3>way they did or throughout the course of the season.

0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:15.400
<v Speaker 3>You know, it just feels like there are fits and

0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:18.600
<v Speaker 3>starts with this team that make it hard to get behind.

0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:22.160
<v Speaker 3>And that's hard to say, especially given all of the

0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:25.920
<v Speaker 3>offseason momentum of hiring Mario crystal Ball, of what he

0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:29.439
<v Speaker 3>could bring on the recruiting trail, of we're getting money

0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:32.200
<v Speaker 3>from the Miami Health Group whatever it is to build

0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:34.439
<v Speaker 3>a new stadium and hire an ad and go pluck

0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:37.360
<v Speaker 3>the best and brightest to be at this stage of

0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:39.720
<v Speaker 3>the game now three and three, where we're seriously talking

0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.880
<v Speaker 3>about Duke maybe beating Miami even with a nine point spread,

0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:46.760
<v Speaker 3>I think it's realistic that to me seems like big

0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:49.280
<v Speaker 3>time underwhelming compared to what we thought so of the

0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:52.440
<v Speaker 3>four And I cannot believe I'm saying it with Duke

0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:57.520
<v Speaker 3>and Kansas in this discussion right now, Miami's the least trustworthy.

0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:01.680
<v Speaker 2>And if you're wondering who can you trust? Between me

0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:05.040
<v Speaker 2>and between Ty, we're talking about a gentleman and Ty Hildenbrandt,

0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:07.840
<v Speaker 2>who went nearly five hundred last week in his picks.

0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:12.280
<v Speaker 1>It's what can I say? Nearly what can I say? Yeah?

0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:14.320
<v Speaker 1>What can I say? Let us know? In the chat.

0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:16.000
<v Speaker 3>Let us I see some face in the chat. Have

0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:18.680
<v Speaker 3>we've got a Baylor, Kansas Miami duke?

0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:21.679
<v Speaker 1>We've got uh what else we got? Oh, we got

0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:22.160
<v Speaker 1>some of the ones.

0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:26.239
<v Speaker 3>Okay, let's keep moving through and go to the afternoon

0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:28.959
<v Speaker 3>block here. Let's you got to tell me who you

0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:32.040
<v Speaker 3>trust between UCLA and Oregon. And the way that we

0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:35.839
<v Speaker 3>framed it out on the podcast was bo Nix versus DTR.

0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:39.240
<v Speaker 3>We alluded to it. I don't think we had a

0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:43.160
<v Speaker 3>full opportunity to unpack it. So here here's where this stands.

0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:47.480
<v Speaker 3>DTR has been in that UCLA system since god knows

0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:51.400
<v Speaker 3>when forever he's been there. Yeah, and he knows it well,

0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:55.800
<v Speaker 3>he's running that system with maximum efficiency at present. That

0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:59.040
<v Speaker 3>could change, but at present, DTR looks pretty good. That

0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:01.040
<v Speaker 3>being said, he does have a bit of a reputation

0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:05.280
<v Speaker 3>for going missing in some games, for being inconsistent, for

0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:08.480
<v Speaker 3>some bad decision making. Right, some of that's his fault,

0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:11.640
<v Speaker 3>some maybe the team around him, But that is like

0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:14.439
<v Speaker 3>it or not. What DTR's reputation is. Bo Knicks is

0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:17.520
<v Speaker 3>actually more of the same. Bo Nicks in his time

0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:21.760
<v Speaker 3>at Auburn clearly showed flashes. He showed flashes against Oregon,

0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:24.920
<v Speaker 3>like his very first college game in that like the

0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:28.440
<v Speaker 3>final couple of minutes to beat Oregon on Opening Night,

0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:32.560
<v Speaker 3>And we've seen it throughout the course of his career,

0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:36.000
<v Speaker 3>especially last season. The beginning part of last season, where

0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:38.280
<v Speaker 3>it seemed as if he had turned a corner. The

0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.680
<v Speaker 3>offense was a little different. They weren't leaning on him

0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:43.080
<v Speaker 3>as hard. He was more trustworthy, and then suddenly he wasn't,

0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:45.760
<v Speaker 3>and then suddenly he was hurt, and then suddenly everyone

0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:48.200
<v Speaker 3>was talking about Brian Harson getting fired. But alas bo

0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:50.640
<v Speaker 3>Nix is now with Oregon, and I think we've seen

0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:52.640
<v Speaker 3>more of the same from him. Although he has been

0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:55.160
<v Speaker 3>pretty good in his own right, it seems as if

0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:57.400
<v Speaker 3>maybe the team around him is a little bit better.

0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:00.680
<v Speaker 3>He is starting to find his role within this squad.

0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:04.760
<v Speaker 3>Bo Nicks, dtr I know you're an organ guy, but

0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:07.160
<v Speaker 3>which of these two, realistically is.

0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:08.040
<v Speaker 1>More trustworthy to you?

0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:13.640
<v Speaker 2>Bo Nex dtr Uh right now? Bo Nicks, And it's

0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:16.160
<v Speaker 2>very strange to say that. I think he's played in

0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:20.000
<v Speaker 2>more big games on the road, hasn't necessarily thrived, but

0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:22.240
<v Speaker 2>there is something about dtr where I know he had

0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:24.200
<v Speaker 2>a great game against USC was it last year of

0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:27.160
<v Speaker 2>the year before in LA you know, three four touchdowns,

0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:30.760
<v Speaker 2>fifteen yards per attempt. But there is something about there.

0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:34.440
<v Speaker 2>There's a medium game quality to DTR that he has

0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.520
<v Speaker 2>played on a number of medium stages where at least

0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.880
<v Speaker 2>there is a to me seeing bo Nicks behind a

0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:44.960
<v Speaker 2>better line throwing to a deeper roster of receivers. There

0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:48.800
<v Speaker 2>is something more seasoned about bon Nicks that there is

0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:53.160
<v Speaker 2>there's more poise there, potentially potentially because we have seen

0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:57.080
<v Speaker 2>different versions of him. I understand yeah that I think

0:15:57.160 --> 0:16:01.120
<v Speaker 2>I have more trust in bow Nicks right now. I

0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:03.720
<v Speaker 2>certainly think under the previous regime. You talk about Mario

0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:06.960
<v Speaker 2>christaball Organ loses that Washington State game and he willed

0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:09.840
<v Speaker 2>them to victory in a pretty ugly performance in the

0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:11.920
<v Speaker 2>red zone for the Oregon offense. But you know, turn

0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:14.440
<v Speaker 2>that team around, kept them in it in that second half,

0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:17.520
<v Speaker 2>and they poured on the points late. So I think

0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:19.760
<v Speaker 2>I believe a little bit. I think DTR is terrific.

0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:22.960
<v Speaker 2>But they've just been playing in LA a bunch. Washington

0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:25.880
<v Speaker 2>hasn't looked good, so that win has aged not as well.

0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:28.640
<v Speaker 2>And it's not UCLA's fault. Utah, of course, I think

0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:30.600
<v Speaker 2>is a pretty good team, but you know, has their

0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:33.200
<v Speaker 2>own flaws. I think the big thing is I think

0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:36.400
<v Speaker 2>UCLA's offense is gonna perform really really well. And ultimately

0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:38.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't even think it's a dtr or bo Nicks issue.

0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:41.400
<v Speaker 2>I think it's which of these defenses can get off

0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:44.680
<v Speaker 2>the field more often, and so I think I trust

0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:48.280
<v Speaker 2>the Oregon defensive brain trust, especially against the run with

0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:52.680
<v Speaker 2>a buy, rather than trusting UCLA's defense and that brain

0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.840
<v Speaker 2>trust coming off of by Ian Oddson in the rain

0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:58.400
<v Speaker 2>with Game Day there, I just think ultimately the juice

0:16:58.400 --> 0:16:59.240
<v Speaker 2>and the talent went out.

0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:01.560
<v Speaker 3>Juice and the talent went out. Yeah, I think I

0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:04.760
<v Speaker 3>go UCLA plus the points, but I don't. As I

0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:07.760
<v Speaker 3>said in the show, these teams are very evenly matched

0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:11.520
<v Speaker 3>to me, very evillly matched to me. It helps that

0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:13.200
<v Speaker 3>it's in Austin. But this is a huge game, is

0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:16.639
<v Speaker 3>a big deal. I'm pretty excited about this one.
