That was certainly the highlight last week. 15 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 2: I think what that's twice in a month now after 16 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 2: you know, a prolonged cold streak there for a. 17 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: While, so feeling good. 18 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 2: It's actually a tie in for my G five Hero 19 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 2: of the Week, but I'm gonna kick it to you first, 20 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 2: both for your hero and your thoughts on the regular 21 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 2: season almost being over. 22 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: That's exciting. We're coming down to the wire. We have 23 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: what three two at least two extremely good conference championship races. 24 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: The American is gonna be bananas down to the finish. 25 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,680 Speaker 1: We got SMU Memphis this week is a monster game, 26 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 1: and then Tulane Utsa next week is a monster game. 27 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,479 Speaker 1: The Mountain West all hell's breaking loose that it's hard 28 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 1: to keep track. I think we have I think Air 29 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: Force and un O v are tied at the top, 30 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: and then we have like four teams right under them, 31 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: three or four at four and two, Fresno, Boise, San 32 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: Jose State. I don't forget. I have that Mountain West 33 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: Conference feature from the preseason. So we're gonna get some really, 34 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: really fun, really good games down the stretch. I'm excited. 35 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: Everyone's talking about the playoffs. This is where the real 36 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: action happens. This is where the fun happens. So I'm 37 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: so excited for the down the stretch. I agree, I'm excited, 38 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: particularly in the Maundwest. 39 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 2: That's actually where I'll turn for my G five hero, 40 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 2: Kyrie Robinson. Yeah, I promised ago when they started two 41 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 2: and five, I said they're gonna win out. They're gonna 42 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 2: win their last five games. I didn't think it was 43 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 2: gonna be enough to get them into the conference title race. 44 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 2: But at this point it is because that win over Fresno, 45 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 2: they just absolutely dog walk the Bulldogs, you know, on Saturday. 46 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 2: That puts them in a position to have the tiebreaker there. 47 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 2: Boise's falling apart. They're five and five overall. They just 48 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 2: fired their head coach there in free fall. So now 49 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 2: with UNLV and Air Force playing each other on Saturday, 50 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 2: if Saturday State wins out, you know, I'll have to 51 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 2: look at, you know, some of the advanced metrics or 52 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 2: you know, basically consult with our own Evan Abrams to 53 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 2: be able to get a percentage odds. I feel like 54 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 2: it's north to eighty percent if they went out that 55 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 2: they're going to go to the conference title game. So 56 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,399 Speaker 2: Kyrie Robinson my G five hero for week eleven, three 57 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,959 Speaker 2: straight wins, and he goes ahead and puts him on 58 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 2: his back again. Nineteen carries two hundred yards, two tds, 59 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 2: and he's second nationally rushing touchdowns now with fifteen and 60 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 2: as is. You know my tradition when it comes to 61 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 2: the G five heroes, I like to go to their 62 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 2: their roster page, their profile, their bio, his favorite actor 63 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 2: Denzel Washington and I'd like to throw out a Denzel 64 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 2: Washington quote here. When it comes to gambling on college football, 65 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 2: this shit is chess. It ain't checkers from training day, 66 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 2: because sometimes you got to back teams with losing records 67 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 2: who are kind of hiding the weeds. That was the 68 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 2: Spartans for me. I love you, Kyrie, I love you Denzel. 69 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 2: A G five Hero of the Week. 70 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, hopefully everybody else has the that fifteen to one 71 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: that I recommended preseason and we can have a little 72 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: spot with them for my G five Here of the week, 73 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: you're going with a team that's been on a hot streak. 74 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: I'm going with the opposite of spectrum. I'm going with 75 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: Kavian Gaither, Sam Houston linebacker who came up with the 76 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:22,679 Speaker 1: clutch pick six of our boy, Hank Blockmyer two minutes 77 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: left Louisiana Tech driving to tie the game or possibly 78 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: win the game. Sam Houston Gaither picks it off, houses 79 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: it to clinch Sam Houston's first conference win, first FBS 80 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: win since joining the FBS. I believe they be was 81 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: at Kennishaw State last week, so they'd beat an FCS school, 82 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:49,119 Speaker 1: but first FBS win as an FBS program first qust 83 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 1: to win. Gaither seals it with the pick six. I 84 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: almost I should have. Basically I should get Hank Bockmer 85 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 1: the here of the week for throwing it as he 86 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: tends to do, which we may talk about, but yeah, 87 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: I'm given to Gaither and the Bearcats. 88 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 2: Well. 89 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: Shout out to Kamisaw. 90 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 2: They're going to be a part of our G five 91 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 2: Deep Dive next season they join the FBS RAN Conference 92 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 2: USA go als. 93 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: Also shout out to Matt Mitchell. 94 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 2: I believe he is down about thirty five units bet 95 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 2: on Sam Houston this year, but they finally came through 96 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 2: with the wind for him. 97 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: So I'd love to see that, Mike. 98 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 2: You know what everyone loves other than Sam Houston and 99 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 2: G five heroes.

They are the second 126 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,239 Speaker 2: most profitable team against the spread in the whole country. Hey, Stucky, 127 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 2: pull the car over, turn this off, put it on country, 128 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 2: or you know, some other station. Because right now we 129 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 2: are talking about the Aggies guns up in Las Crusis, 130 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 2: Jerry Kills boys, they've already clinched. They've already clinched the 131 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 2: Conference USA title game. What in critible work, they are 132 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 2: higher in the S and P plus ratings by Bill 133 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 2: Connlelly from ESPN than they've ever been in the history 134 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 2: of their program thereup to sixty six. Colin Wilson has 135 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 2: even moved them into the top one hundred for his 136 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 2: Action Network Power rankings at ninety third. And here we 137 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 2: go on the road on the planes against Alburn, catching 138 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 2: twenty four. This is interesting to me for a lot 139 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 2: of reasons because what we know about the Aggies is 140 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 2: they're a fun rushing team. They're second in yards per 141 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 2: Kerrie nationally, sixth in success rate. The passing game is 142 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 2: up and down with Diego, but they're twenty second in explosives, 143 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 2: and they limit the big play on defense, particularly through 144 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 2: the air, thirty seventh in limiting explosives. But the reason 145 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 2: why I like this and I believe it opened in 146 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 2: the market like twenty one, twenty one and a half. 147 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: It's inched up. 148 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 2: There was some buzz, some chatter out there on social 149 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 2: media that Diego wasn't gonna play. This guy is a warrior, 150 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 2: and Jerry Kill said as much this evening. He said that, 151 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 2: you know, he may be day to day in practice 152 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 2: and he was a little bit limited. He's going to 153 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 2: play on Saturday up against an Auburn team. These guys 154 00:07:58,360 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 2: are not warriors. 155 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: This will ahead spot. 156 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 2: They got the Iron Bowl next week. They've already locked 157 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 2: up Bowl eligibility. What is there to play for and 158 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 2: to beat the brakes off of an Aggie's team if 159 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 2: they do get an advantage in this game. And the 160 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 2: other part of it is why are we pumping up Alburn? 161 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 2: They played Mississippi State Vandy in Arkansas in the last 162 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 2: three woo. What a murderer's row there in the SEC. 163 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 2: So the fact is this team is middling. I in 164 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 2: my power ratings, I don't even have him in the 165 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 2: top forty. So I look at New Mexico State surging 166 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 2: at this point, playing as well as any Aggie team 167 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 2: has in history. And the bottom line is I'm a 168 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 2: Diego guy. There's been a pavey of podcasts from day one. 169 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 2: He's a dual threat. What have dual threats done against Auburn? 170 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 2: Jayden Daniels ninety three rushing yards, Jackson Dart forty four 171 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 2: rushing yards and two tds. Diego's going to be able 172 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 2: to move the sticks and extend a few. 173 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: Drives with his legs. 174 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 2: I think they get to twenty, maybe twenty four points 175 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 2: in this game. I don't see Auburn dropping a fifty 176 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 2: point nugget on this Aggie's defense. That makes you earn it. 177 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 2: You gotta go six, seven, eight, nine, ten plays down 178 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,959 Speaker 2: the field to score touchdowns on him. I think additionally, 179 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 2: Auburn's going to keep things a little bit vanilla, try 180 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 2: to save some of their best stuff for the Iron Bowl. 181 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 2: Those are my thoughts. I know you're with me on 182 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 2: New Mexico State. 183 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: What do you think here? Look at the end of 184 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: the day, we're all human, and it's impot matter how 185 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: much you know modeling and numbers and mathematics you use, 186 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: it's impossible to take human biases out of anything, really 187 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:28,439 Speaker 1: but gambling, opinions, college sports, any sports. Really, Everyone has 188 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: biases for or against against stockey teams and players. We 189 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: admit it. We love New Mexico State. We would go 190 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: to war with them. You mentioned it. Pavia is a warrior. 191 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: Jerry Kill's on the sidelines in full camo like he's 192 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 1: going into Nam every week. And guess what, Me and 193 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: Breeze are in the foxhill with him, and I'll be 194 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: in the foxhill with him until the day we die. 195 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: Would you say twenty four and a half. It's too 196 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: many points for two teams who basically only run the 197 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: ball anyway you mentioned it, Auburn has nothing to play 198 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: for it, no reason run it up. Auburn can't pass, 199 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: They just can't at all. So we know they're gonna 200 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,199 Speaker 1: run the ball. And again, Pobby, Like, if you're Auburn, 201 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: you're gonna hate Pobby. Mind this game where your your 202 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: corners are just bigger, stronger, faster. You're gonna lock down 203 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: their receivers, not gonna be able to breathe. You're gonna 204 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: have four ginormous defensive linemen that are bull rushing the 205 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: offensive line, and Bobby's gonna skirt through and run for 206 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: a six yard first down. And you've got to line 207 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: up and play three more snaps and you're gonna be like, God, 208 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 1: damn it, I hate this little guy and he comes 209 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: it every time, and he's the best. He's just gonna 210 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: find enough ways to make plays and Auburn is not 211 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: gonna have any reason to beat them by thirty. Buyas 212 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 1: a side, we're going to war. I'm with Diego because 213 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: screw you. 214 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 2: This is a little Russian nesting doll of New Mexico 215 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 2: State bets.

You know, obviously James Madison 259 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: has the biggest gripe because they are the best team 260 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: in the country and they're the ones getting all the attention. 261 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 1: Jacksonville State would have a pretty good job to make 262 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: the conference title themselves. Granted that they're going to lose 263 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: next week to Diego, but they're eligible. They'd be right 264 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: in that mix. Rich Rod's team is seven to three. 265 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 1: They're five to one in conference play. The game cocks 266 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: only losses this year are to Coastal Carolina Liberty in 267 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: South Carolina. They're also just crushing everybody else. There's seven 268 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: wins have come by an average of seventeen points. They 269 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: know what they want to do. And they do it well. 270 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: They're six in the country and rushing yards per game, 271 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,079 Speaker 1: averaging two hundred and eighteen yards per game. They have 272 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: twenty four touchdowns and ten games. Four players are averaging 273 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: at least forty five yards per game. Malik Jackson is 274 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 1: the lead back, but Ron Wiggins anwar Lewis have also 275 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: been great. Obviously, we know Zion Web with his legs 276 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: dual threat ability. Lawtech can't stop thrown just not even 277 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 1: a little bit. They're one hundred and six in defending 278 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: the run, one hundred and fourth at preventing rushing explosiveness. 279 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: They've allowed two hundred and six yards per game on 280 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: the ground, more than five yards per attempt. In the 281 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: last two games, they've allowed eight rushing touchdowns and four 282 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty rushing yards. Just can't stop a nosebleed. Now, 283 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball, the Lawtech offense 284 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 1: is terrible. My good friend, Hank Bachmeier is just a 285 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: walking turnover. He is just exactly who you want to 286 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,079 Speaker 1: have on the other side when you're betting against him 287 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: eight and a half. Okay, as we saw last week, 288 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,439 Speaker 1: the back door is never open when Hank Bachmeyer is 289 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 1: your quarterback, because nobody tripped going up the front steps 290 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,439 Speaker 1: more than Hank Blawchmeyer. Jacksonville State's defense is ninth and success. Right, 291 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: they're twenty ninth at creating havoc. They're terrific against the run. 292 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: They're going to force Bachmeyer into mistakes. They're going to 293 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: slam the door and leave them out in the cold. 294 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: Give me the game Cocks minds eight and a half. 295 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 1: I love it. 296 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 2: We talked about all August. This was a hot and 297 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 2: ready offense, ready to come right out of the delivery 298 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 2: vehicle to your doorstep. And the game Cocks have shown 299 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 2: up and they're slamming a yeah, So I love that. 300 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 2: Gives you an opportunity to have one more dig for 301 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 2: your man Bachmeyer. I'm into it, all right. That does 302 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 2: it for our best bets here in week twelve. Now 303 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 2: we go to our G five high five, our round 304 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 2: robins segment. 305 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: We're gonna give you five picks. 306 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 2: Packers are together however you like, by twos, by threes, 307 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 2: or if you're feeling really gutsy, go for the full 308 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 2: five leg parlay. 309 00:14:55,040 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: The G five high five high five high five. This 310 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: one I don't know it. 311 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 2: Immediately Drew me in because the number felt a little 312 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 2: bit too big. I got into the metrics a little bit. 313 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 2: I started to nod along a little bit. But this 314 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 2: is one that I'm going to put it in, going 315 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 2: to put it into the Action Network app. I'm going 316 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 2: to place it at my sports book of choice. Still 317 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 2: never going to feel really good about it into the 318 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 2: final whistle. Georgia State plus thirty one against LSU, Yeah, yeah, 319 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 2: this is this is This is a question. LSU could 320 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 2: score seventy in this game. Do they want to? Yeah, 321 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 2: they are going to want to get some big. 322 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: Stats for Jade Daniels. Sure. 323 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 2: But the opposite question here is can their defense stop anybody? 324 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 2: Because they've given up seventy seven points in the past 325 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 2: two weeks and then includes a game against Graham Mertz. 326 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 2: This LSU defense is all kinds of banged up. Their 327 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 2: secondary has so many, you know, eighteen and nineteen year 328 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 2: olds running around. It's no wonder they're one hundred and 329 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 2: fifth and success rate and one hundred and twenty second 330 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 2: and explosives allowed. And Georgia State, even though they've had 331 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 2: two or three bad weeks, there's still twenty and explosive plays. 332 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 2: They still have the top rated rushing attack in terms 333 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 2: of explosives, and with the A and M game on 334 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 2: deck for LSU, I think there's gonna be a mindset 335 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 2: with a ten win season still possible if they went out, 336 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 2: including the bowl game. They want to keep people healthy. 337 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and spot LSU forty nine points in 338 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 2: this game. Can Georgia State get to twenty one? I 339 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 2: think that they can. I think that's how bad this 340 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 2: LSU defens is, particularly in terms of hitting the home 341 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 2: run play. I think when it comes to SEC athletes 342 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 2: against some Belt athletes, I'm not looking for them to 343 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 2: be methodical and go down the field. I'm looking for 344 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 2: them to hit a couple forty fifty yard plays, and 345 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 2: I think they have an in them in this game. 346 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 2: So A're gonna go with a veteran backfield with Grainger, 347 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 2: with Carrol and hope that they can get to three 348 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 2: plus touchdowns and that LSU get some. 349 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: Work for Garrett Nussmeyer. I saw it right away. 350 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 2: You're like, ls's gonna score a hundred point, so you 351 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 2: don't have to beat this pick up, but we're gonna 352 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 2: get the G five High five started this week here. 353 00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: Mike Georgia state's not they're out of the somebought right 354 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: for sure. Yes, that might. Then you don't have to 355 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 1: worry about like, all right, we're down forty. Let's pillar 356 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 1: guys and try it with the title. That probably helps you. Yeah, 357 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 1: someone who bet a Jaden and Daniels Heisman ticket a 358 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: couple weeks ago. Part of me hopes that they just 359 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,919 Speaker 1: let him score eight touchdowns. So I'll be I mean, 360 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 1: I'll be rooting for you, I guess from. 361 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 2: Facing Jadan Daniels in my college fantasy football semifinals and 362 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 2: I am shaking in my boots. I'm gonna be a 363 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 2: big Digs fan in this game. I'm hoping that he 364 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 2: pops a couple of red zone touchdowns. 365 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: So I kind of touched on it a little bit 366 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 1: earlier about this exciting Mountain West race in the conference championship. 367 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: I'm curious if you're gonna gree with me here. I'm 368 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: taking you and OLV plus three. I don't know what's 369 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: wrong with the Air Force, but they just don't look 370 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: the same. The planes have been grounded. They scored sixteen 371 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 1: points in the last two games against Army and Hawaii. Okay, Army, 372 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: you could chalk up to serious. 373 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 2: Hawaii game was troubling, absolutely, I agree positioned how I 374 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 2: thought of Air Force. 375 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: Nach Larrier got hurt early in that game, the first quarter. 376 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: He didn't return, So I don't know his status. You know, 377 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 1: air Force has like nobody covers them and you just 378 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,719 Speaker 1: can't ever find out any information anyway, because you know, 379 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: it's like military secrets. 380 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 2: I guess the nationality situation, the DJ is who covers them. 381 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: That's classified secret. I think Larry has been hurt for 382 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: a while because remember there was a report like four 383 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: weeks ago he was out for the season, and then 384 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: he just like played like two days later. 385 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 2: Played against Navy and they had that unbelievable cover situation 386 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 2: where Navy scored and went for two for no good reasons. 387 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 1: He was like out for the year. 388 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and his coach, I don't know if 389 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 2: it was true games and ship, but he's like he's 390 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 2: going to be out for a long time, and that 391 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 2: long time meant nothing. 392 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, he may it may him practice on Thursday, So 393 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,640 Speaker 1: I think he's been dealing with something, probably reagguvated it. 394 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 1: I don't know his status. Emmanuel Michelle didn't play. He's 395 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: their leading rusher, their full back, the leading receiver often 396 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: didn't play. I don't know how much that matters, but 397 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,400 Speaker 1: it's notable. He's at least the best of them those guys, 398 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,160 Speaker 1: and even if he's. One weakness is defending the pass. 399 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: That's not gonna matter. It's air force. They're twenty ninth 400 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 1: in EPA against the run, one hundred and twenty six 401 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: against past, so that kind of nullifies the biggest weakness. 402 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,479 Speaker 1: And this UNLV go go offense has been go going 403 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: since Jayden Meyava took over at quarterback. Eleven passing touchdowns, 404 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 1: three rushing scores. We know what they want to run 405 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 1: the ball, Vincent Davis, Jaden Thomas, Donovan Lester. They all 406 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: average forty yards per game. This team is thirty one 407 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns in ten games. They have the most rushing 408 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: touchdowns per game in the entire country. And the Rebels 409 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 1: only like I feel like people aren't talking about them. 410 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,880 Speaker 1: Their only losses this year are at Michigan and at 411 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:44,640 Speaker 1: Fresno State by seven. So we mentioned how convoluted this 412 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 1: Mountain West Championship races, so they can't actually clinch it here, 413 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: but this game essentially punches the winner of this essentially 414 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: punches their ticket as one of the two teams in 415 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: the Mountain West title game. This is a massive game, 416 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,120 Speaker 1: and I look at these two teams, especially you know 417 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: over the last two weeks. Yeah, sure, small sample size, 418 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,199 Speaker 1: but UNV just looks like the better team, and the 419 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: Rebels are nine to one against the spread, They're four 420 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: to oh as an underdog, They've been undervalued all year, 421 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,239 Speaker 1: So I'll take UNL plus three here. I think they 422 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 1: win this game. 423 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 2: I like that. I don't think he can go wrong 424 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 2: with this Marian offense. He is not long for Sin City. 425 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 2: He is going to get a big bump up, big 426 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 2: pay raise, either to a you know, Power five O 427 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 2: C job or as I mentioned before and floating out there, 428 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 2: I think he'd be a great pick for a G 429 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 2: five head coaching job. 430 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:46,640 Speaker 1: State grab him. 431 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, listen, who in the country wouldn't want 432 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 2: to turn around, you know, a bottom third offense with 433 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 2: a higher like him. And he's been you know, a 434 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 2: dynamic personality. On top of that, I think he's gonna 435 00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 2: do wonders in the recruiting. 436 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: So it's been a big fan of his. 437 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,360 Speaker 2: He actually I reached out to him years ago when 438 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 2: he was at Hawaii with trying to think who is 439 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 2: the who is that that retread coach he coached Ship 440 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 2: Pitt in Arizona State and then Hawaii. He used to 441 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 2: have like the little Madonna microphone that went from like 442 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 2: his ear right up to his mouth. 443 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: Do you know the head coach I'm talking about? Todd 444 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: Graham said out. I almost said, like, you're not talking 445 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: about Todd Graham, are you? 446 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 2: When he was on Todd Graham's staff, I just reached 447 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 2: out to him on Twitter and just basically he picked 448 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 2: his brain about the go go offense and he was 449 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 2: great and he responded he's a friend of the pod 450 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 2: at this point. So we're wishing him the best. And 451 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 2: I think the UNLV play is the right side. 452 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: Speaking waitit wire on the Mountain West job opening, he's 453 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,239 Speaker 1: real quick. I mean Callum Moore to Boise State, right, 454 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 1: that has to happen. That has to happen. I should 455 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: hopt what happened. It's like one of those things where 456 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 1: like it makes two cents, whereut like, okay, let you know, 457 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,640 Speaker 1: Pete Damil's tweeting the list of like thirty five coaches 458 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,400 Speaker 1: that you know their agents told him to tweet out 459 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,159 Speaker 1: of who my, you know x A and M might 460 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 1: hire and then the list of like possible names for 461 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: Boise State is it's just like Kellen Moore and then 462 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: that's the end of the list. 463 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 2: I mean, the West Coast has been a punching bag 464 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 2: in the world of college football. To pack twelve fallen apart. 465 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 2: We can't lose Boise State and have them turn into 466 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 2: a bad program, like get in there immediately. 467 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: Because Brandon Saley's probably gonna get fired for the Chargers 468 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: and so like Kellimore will probably like not have a 469 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: job anyway, exactly, So Nake, it happened, all right For 470 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 1: my next pick here in the G five to high five. 471 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 2: You know, it's difficult sometimes you have to go against 472 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 2: your instincts. 473 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 1: Just kidding. Let's fade Trentill for one more time. 474 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 2: Navy coming through with the win last week and embarrassing 475 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 2: the Blazers. No fire breathers to be found on the 476 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 2: field for UAB. 477 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: I know I've been. 478 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 2: Saying it a lot, but it continues to be white 479 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 2: flag season there in Birmingham. I'm gonna go ahead to 480 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 2: a Temple plus seven and a half because they have 481 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 2: the better quarterback at this point, they've been feisty with EJ. 482 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: Warner at QB. 483 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 2: In his last three starts, they've averaged thirty points per game. 484 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 2: He personally has averaged three hundred and eighty five yards 485 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 2: per game through the air with twelve touchdowns. Up against 486 00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 2: this UAB defense that stinks. 487 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:01,880 Speaker 1: I can't stress how god awful they are. 488 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 2: And it's a mix. It's not just against the run, 489 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 2: it's also against the pass, and the offense is kind 490 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 2: of laid an egg in three of the last four 491 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 2: games of twenty one points or less against UTSA, Memphis, 492 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 2: and Navy. That was how they were hanging around early 493 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 2: in the season. Zeno was locked in. The running game 494 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 2: was popping. I don't know, maybe I'm the only one. 495 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 2: I probably am the only one who watched the entire 496 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 2: del for pres conference this week as always, and he 497 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 2: talked about people playing for themselves and being selfish. And 498 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,119 Speaker 2: he wasn't even saying this in a derogatory way. He's like, 499 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 2: people are trying to put their best film on tape 500 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 2: for the portal, or maybe to be in a position 501 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 2: in spring to have a starting job locked up. He's 502 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,679 Speaker 2: already gone. He knows that his locker room is gone. 503 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 1: EJ. 504 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 2: Warner is a kid on the rise. You know, he's 505 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 2: Kurt Warner's son. I think he gives Temple a little 506 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 2: bit of hope when he's on the field. All the 507 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 2: fact that it's over that that's seven point key number. 508 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 2: I'll take the hook. I'll take the awls and go 509 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:56,360 Speaker 2: with them against Stilford. 510 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 1: So you watched the press conference. So now they're three 511 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: and seven? Correct? How ugly is his wife now? These days? 512 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 2: His wife it's a double grocery bag situation with his wife. 513 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm married a smoke show and I have 514 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 2: awesome kids, and she wasn't as hot, and my kids 515 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 2: were annoying and my food sucked. What do you have 516 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 2: for the last two in the G five five five? 517 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take North Texas minus two against Tulsa. I know, 518 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,640 Speaker 1: I mean Green didn't cover for you last week against SMU, 519 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,159 Speaker 1: but because you had them. I've watched every play of 520 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: that game. I didn't really hate what I saw. I 521 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: think SMU is just really good. Obviously, we were also 522 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,120 Speaker 1: kind of half gambling. Prest Stone wouldn't play. He did 523 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: look great. This team continues to fight spec the fact 524 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: that they just lose all the time. They still like fight. Yeah, 525 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,360 Speaker 1: and I think Tulsa just stinks. You know, they hung 526 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 1: with Tulane last week, but I think that was more 527 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: about the Green Wave. They've been kind of playing with 528 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: their food all season. They really haven't looked that great. 529 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,920 Speaker 1: We could have some ac conversation about I think SMUs 530 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: kind of pulling away there. There's just flaws with Tulane, 531 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: there's flaws with Utsa. To me, SMU looks the most complete, 532 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: but that's neither here nor there. Telsa has used four 533 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 1: quarterbacks this season. I'm not even sure who the starter 534 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: is at this point. To be honest, Cardo Williams matters. 535 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: You know, No, there's not a quarterback room. Yeah, Cardo 536 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 1: Williams is probably the best option, but I think he's 537 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: still hurt. Brayln Braxton stinks, but he technically started last week, 538 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,360 Speaker 1: but then like didn't play. Kirk Francis played the majority 539 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 1: of the game. He had Brackton through six passes, Francis 540 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: through thirty four. Like you said, regardless of who it is, 541 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 1: the offense isn't good. The defense is really bad. They're 542 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: one hundred and eleventh and success rate, they're terrible against 543 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: the pass, they're bad against the run. Two and North 544 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: Texas's offense has looked good since they made them full 545 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 1: move to channel. Rodgers their seventh in explosiveness, they pick 546 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 1: up big plays, terrific run game A would die oscar ataway. 547 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 1: Rodgers is twenty three touchdowns, just four picks, and he's 548 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: dangerous legs. Mac Olenin Burns are both. 549 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 2: By the way, if there was ever a group of 550 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 2: five deep dive drinking, it would be finish your drink. 551 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 2: If Mike Ianello lists off the entire North Texas running 552 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 2: back depth chart over the years, because I agree they've 553 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 2: had a great running back room for the entirety of 554 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 2: our show for three years. 555 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 1: But it's always my favorite. I know when you hit 556 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: North Texas, I'm gonna hear all those names. I didn't 557 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: even mention Rags now because he's know there we go 558 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,719 Speaker 1: there it is. Drink it up boys. Maclin Burns are 559 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,200 Speaker 1: both really good receivers too. And you know, look, both 560 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: these teams are three and seven. They're both not very 561 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: good teams, but when you watch them, there's like you 562 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 1: can see things North Texas does well. They've also lost 563 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: four straight games to the four best teams in the AAC. 564 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: They've lost to Tulane, Memphis, UTSA, and SMU in the 565 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: last four weeks, so they're at least doing things well. 566 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 1: I think Tulsa is just bad, so give me the 567 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,920 Speaker 1: mean green mind steal. It's a it's a lame duck situation. 568 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 2: Well not quite a lame duck situation for you know, 569 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 2: Kevin Wilson in year one. 570 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: I think they're certainly going to give him more time 571 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 1: to put it together. But I don't know. 572 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 2: I just think I agree with you in terms of 573 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 2: the eye test. As you're scrolling through all your games, 574 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 2: the huge buffet of options on a Saturday. Oh, it's 575 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 2: three and seven teams that are exactly the same. There's 576 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 2: just more hope, you know, in the North Texas because 577 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,360 Speaker 2: North Texas at this point is a half team. They 578 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 2: are a top twenty five offense for sure, and they're 579 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 2: a bottom ten defense, so at least they have that 580 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 2: to hang their hat on, where Tulsa does not. 581 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: Well. I know a cop weeks ago we both turn 582 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 1: heel and picked Power five schools, So I'm very happy 583 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: between you got Georgia State and New Mexico State. Give 584 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,880 Speaker 1: me Southern Myths plus fourteen and a half against Mississippi State. 585 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I really wish this wasn't Southern Myths 586 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: because they've looked awful this year. But this is a 587 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 1: really good spot I think to fade Mississippi State. Who 588 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,440 Speaker 1: I it's a good chance they're completely checked out when 589 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: you look at the spot. This is a roster that 590 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: is full of players who committed to play for Mike Leach, 591 00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 1: a cartoon character personality who runs this exciting air raid offense, 592 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: and then their coach tragically dies in the middle of 593 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,719 Speaker 1: the season, and then they end up playing for a 594 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 1: thirty seven year old defensive coordinator who was wildly underqualified 595 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: to get the head coaching job to begin with. But 596 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: they wanted the stability who takes over and completely changes 597 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: the entire offense. The entire scheme that you committed to 598 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,639 Speaker 1: play for is now gone. Now they want to be 599 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,639 Speaker 1: like a run first, tough you know, No, that's just 600 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,679 Speaker 1: not what any of these players signed up for. So 601 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: their team sucks. They've lost six of their last eight. 602 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 1: Zac royneckets fired. The offense is terrible. Defense doesn't look 603 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: good either. For the defensive coordinator. I bet you every 604 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: single kid on that team is thinking about transferring and 605 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: trying to think about their options, and the ones who 606 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: aren't are probably because they're you know, lifelong dream was 607 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: to play for Mississippi State. They grew up Bulldog fans, 608 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: which means they're thinking about the Egg Bowl in five 609 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 1: days because they grew up probably watching that game. Not 610 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: only anyone here is thinking about Southern miss they're thinking 611 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: about either five days from now or where they're playing 612 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 1: next year. And this is some other Misses Super Bowl. 613 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: Their offense hasn't playing better over the last three games. 614 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 1: They're averaging four hundred and seventy five yards and thirty 615 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: two points in the last three weeks three games, so 616 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 1: they've kind of looked like they figured it out. And 617 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: by figured out, I mean Frank Gore Junior is back 618 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: in his bag. He's averaging one hundred and eighty yards 619 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 1: in the last three games with six total touch or 620 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: six total touchdowns over the last two game three games. 621 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: And the defense has issues, like I said, but the 622 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 1: Bulldog offense stinks, and I really think that their offense 623 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: is probably just totally checked out at this point. They 624 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: only beat Western Michigan by thirteen, and that was before 625 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: three straight losses in a fire head coach. So where 626 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: is the mental you know aspect right here with the 627 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 1: Bulldogs Again, I kind of wish there was any other 628 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: team than Southern Miss, But I think fourteen and a 629 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: half is too many points against the Bulldog team that 630 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 1: isn't very good and it is probably totally checked out. 631 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 2: Well, that's two picks, the Georgia State one and the 632 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 2: Southern Miss one, where I think, I think these are 633 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 2: the rights sides. 634 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 1: It doesn't feel good. 635 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 2: It almost feels like betting the NFL, where it's like, 636 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 2: am I really going to take like the Arizona Cardinals 637 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 2: plus eleven points or like doesn't feel good. 638 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: Hopefully we'll ride with our guys. We've got to ride 639 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 1: with our guests. 640 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 2: And we haven't not had many opportunities outside of the 641 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 2: first couple of weeks to ride with Southern Mysths, so 642 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 2: it's nice to get them back on. 643 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 1: No one's tuning in to the Group of five deep 644 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 1: dive to bet on the SEC. You're tuning in to 645 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: bet on sun Melt teams against the SEC. 646 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 2: Now I got a flag for a false start trying 647 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 2: to get to the moneyline. Underdog parlay early. I was 648 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 2: championed the bit because we've been hitting it. I think 649 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 2: that's twice in a month. So I'm going to get started. 650 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 2: Utah State money line at home plus one forty against 651 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 2: a Boise team that just fired their head coach. They've quit, 652 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 2: they got players transferring out. Maddox Madson is banged up 653 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 2: at quarterback, so will he play? 654 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 1: Will he not play? 655 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 2: As at Tyland Green and he's so ineffective as a passer. 656 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 2: Utah State hand up. We talked about New Mexico State 657 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 2: being this gambling darling and how we were right and 658 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 2: you know, pounding our chest so wrong about Utah State. 659 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 2: We viewed this as one of potentially a bottoming out 660 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 2: G five situation. They have been secretly good the whole year. 661 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 2: You look at their losses, so they're five and five 662 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 2: on the year. They got a ten point loss to 663 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 2: Iowa in which they scored fourteen points. That's a major 664 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 2: accomplishment against the Iowa defense. They lost to James Madison, 665 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 2: the best team in the entire country, by seven points. 666 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 2: They lost to Fresno by five points, and this offense 667 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 2: is absolutely cooking. Seventy three points in the last two 668 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 2: weeks an explosive passing game sixteenth in explosive plays. Cooper 669 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 2: Lega is not somebody that we get all that jazzed 670 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 2: up about, but he's done enough because his receiving corp 671 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 2: is Elector Royals, Vaughn's now Micah Davis. All of them together, 672 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 2: I think you can make a solid argument that they're 673 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 2: the best receiving corps in Mound West Conference and you 674 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 2: can kill Boise through the air. They're one hundred and 675 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 2: ninth and explosives allowed. This is a rare situation for 676 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 2: a very proud Boise State program that I think they're 677 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 2: going to lay down in this one. I think Utah 678 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 2: State wants it more. I think they've been on the 679 00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 2: cusp for much of this season to kind of have, 680 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 2: you know, a seven or eight win campaign as opposed 681 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 2: to potentially getting to seven if they win these last two. 682 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with them. 683 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 2: I think they actually should be favored in this game 684 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 2: the way they're playing, in the trajectory of the Broncos team. 685 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 2: And no word on Ashton Gentz. He's the guy. He's 686 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 2: the one who makes this Boise team special. He hasn't played, 687 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 2: you know, since he had a lower body injury two 688 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 2: weeks ago. I don't see him playing here, so I'll 689 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 2: go with the Aggies. 690 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, that'st that. Look Genti's back at practice. But you mentioned, 691 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 1: you know, Mattson likely being the starter, and they've kind 692 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: of transitioned away from Green to him because he's a 693 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,479 Speaker 1: better passer. Well, lookia is my receiver room. They're look 694 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: there three best receivers. Stephan Cobbs out for the season, 695 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 1: Latrell Caples out for the season. Eric McCalister already announced 696 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 1: he's entering the transfer portal. He's gone. So who's Matton 697 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 1: throw to? You better hope if you're a Boys defense, 698 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 1: you better hope Gene plays because at this point I 699 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 1: would just go to Green and go back to last 700 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: year's offense. Maybe they will now they fired Avalos, But yeah, 701 00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 1: I don't hate it at all. I couldn't decide on mine, 702 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: you know, I'm back and forth. It wasn't really any 703 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,719 Speaker 1: I loved. So I have two that I like, and 704 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 1: I can't decide which one. So I'm gonna do a 705 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 1: little Choose our first ever, Choose your own adventure. Ready 706 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 1: for an adventure? Do you want to go with a 707 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 1: buy on a bad team that's starting to play better 708 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 1: and has a good defense, or a fade of a 709 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 1: good offense that's starting to wear down. 710 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 2: I think I like the second one because I do 711 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 2: think you see this a little bit more in college football, 712 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 2: where there's different factors. There's the physically getting worn down 713 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 2: where you have some players banged up. Also, I don't 714 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 2: know if Weather plays a factor. Sometimes he's like pass 715 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 2: happy teams playing. 716 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 1: It's more of a it's more of a figuring out 717 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 1: an unknown. Well, help me figure out that unknown, because 718 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: that was pretty cryptic. You're not gonna like it. I 719 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: can tell you that much. You picked the wrong one 720 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 1: for you. Okay, let's hear it. But you better have 721 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 1: my money. Give me Arkansas State plus one point fifty 722 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 1: against your beloved Bob Money. Josh, you know me, well, 723 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 1: m money y, Now tell me, hey me what you money. 724 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 1: Just give me all money. I think teams are starting 725 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 1: to figure out this taxas state offense. 726 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,880 Speaker 2: They mainly mainly Joey Hobert was a surprise scratch and 727 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 2: that killed my over against Coastal because he's the best 728 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 2: wide receiver they got. So yeah, but you don't kill 729 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 2: my vibe. I'm ready, you know what, My body, my 730 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 2: mind were ready. Let's get in with Arkansas State. I 731 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:40,759 Speaker 2: haven't bet him in man, it has been so many years. 732 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember some of their dual threat quarterbacks 733 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:44,800 Speaker 2: from way back in the day. I think that was 734 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 2: actually Anderson as the head coach, mentioning Utah State. Yeah, 735 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,799 Speaker 2: I'll look it up as you as you chatted up. 736 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 2: It's been a minute since I bet on Arkansas State. 737 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 1: Yeah. This this DJ Kenney offense came out humming, but 738 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,280 Speaker 1: they've lost through the last five. They barely beat Ulm. 739 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,480 Speaker 1: The offense just has not looked on. Did you watch 740 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,719 Speaker 1: last week against Coastal because you had the over? Because 741 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,719 Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I didn't watch it. I was looking 742 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,840 Speaker 1: at the box score. TJ. Finley had eleven pass attempts 743 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 1: and Malie Hornsby had eight. Did Finley get hurt? Like 744 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,560 Speaker 1: what happened there? Yeah? It was just weird in terms 745 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: of play calling. It was kind of like I wasn't 746 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:19,840 Speaker 1: playing at all at the beginning of the year, Like 747 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 1: Finley was like the guy. He was dominant, Like what 748 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 1: are they now playing both? Or did finitly get hurt? 749 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 2: I mean this was one of those where I had 750 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:30,799 Speaker 2: it on mute the third or fourth screen situations, I'll 751 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 2: have to go back in and look. It is worth 752 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,440 Speaker 2: noting I couldn't find any and said he was hurt. 753 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 1: When you search TJ. Finley hurt, you just get forty 754 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 1: tweets saying is TJ Finley hurt and she's so. It 755 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 1: was not helpful, But I think Arkansas State has just 756 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 1: looked much better since they switched to freshman Jalen Rainer 757 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,960 Speaker 1: at quarterback. He got fourteen touchdowns just five picks. He's 758 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 1: averaging nine point two yards per tempt. Arkansas State is 759 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: twenty third in the country in explosiveness, and Texas State 760 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,279 Speaker 1: allows a ton of big plays. So for money line 761 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,360 Speaker 1: dog if time, what I'm looking for is an explosive 762 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,760 Speaker 1: team that I think can break a couple huge plays 763 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 1: and still win over a Texas State team that I 764 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,320 Speaker 1: don't think is as good as they were early in 765 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:10,799 Speaker 1: the year. I think teams are starting to figure out 766 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 1: this offense. It was so different from what they were 767 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 1: last year. I think it caught people off guard. I 768 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,239 Speaker 1: just think they're starting to figure it out so much better. 769 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 1: Have my money plus one fifty. 770 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I had to go ahead and look up the 771 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,359 Speaker 2: last time I was consistently betting on Arkansas State and 772 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 2: to get the player's name, the two time sun Belt 773 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 2: Offensive Player the Year, Ryan Applan. 774 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 1: He was the QB for Arkansas State. 775 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,719 Speaker 2: You know he's doing now He is the offensive let's say, 776 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:39,879 Speaker 2: a passing game coordinator for Georgia Southern. So there we go, 777 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 2: you know, keeping a sun Belt going from the west 778 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:43,000 Speaker 2: to the east. 779 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,439 Speaker 1: But yeah, it's been a minute. I'm ready. You talked 780 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:45,800 Speaker 1: me into it. 781 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 2: Texas State without Joey Hobert is just not as explosive. 782 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,879 Speaker 2: They've had these like down games. Let's find out what's 783 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,719 Speaker 2: going on with TJ. Finley, certainly if he's banged up 784 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 2: or limited or it's Hornsby. I think this is definitely 785 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:00,360 Speaker 2: a play on for Arkansas State because I finally have 786 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,960 Speaker 2: a quarterback, as you laid out perfect well. 787 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,279 Speaker 1: While we quickly transition into that perfect segue into the 788 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,400 Speaker 1: cutting and floor because the other one was Charlotte plus 789 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 1: one fifteen against Rice. So I don't know, do you 790 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 1: feel bad about this decision you made now that you 791 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,560 Speaker 1: know which door. I think he's starting to look better 792 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,640 Speaker 1: under Biff Pogi and Jake Daniels didn't play last week. 793 00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:21,719 Speaker 1: He's in concussion protocol. We've kind of seen it with 794 00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,120 Speaker 1: Daniels before. We're like, I feel like he when he 795 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 1: gets hurt, he ends up being questionable, like way longer 796 00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 1: than you think, and like, I'll be honest, I'll be 797 00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:30,560 Speaker 1: shocked via Dais plays again this year. I think that's 798 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:31,799 Speaker 1: kind of what he does. He gets hurt and then 799 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 1: he just like is out for a ton. The running 800 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,239 Speaker 1: back didn't play last week out of Viano is out 801 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,440 Speaker 1: this week. Bloomberg already said that. Bloom Grin already said that. 802 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 1: So I just think this Charlotte team's kind of starting 803 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,960 Speaker 1: to play better. Checks Ivy's been their quarterback the last 804 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,960 Speaker 1: two weeks. He's a better pat did their like four 805 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,680 Speaker 1: picks against Memphis, but they just took Memphis to overtime. 806 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 1: This is another one. I think Rice is like really fading. 807 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,760 Speaker 1: Charlotte's got a good defense. That was my other pick. 808 00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 1: And then the one other one I considered, Troy minus 809 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,200 Speaker 1: sixteen against Louisiana. I think Troy is starting to get 810 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:09,759 Speaker 1: into that like just crush everybody mode. So it's a 811 00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,359 Speaker 1: big number. It's probably bigger than it should be, but 812 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 1: they're kind of in a like just stomp everyone on 813 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 1: the way to the conference title again. 814 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 2: So with Chris Louisiana doesn't have anything that excites me. 815 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:21,239 Speaker 1: I like that kid a lot. 816 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,400 Speaker 2: I hope that he's you know, comes back from injury 817 00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,320 Speaker 2: and can be really good next year. Yeah, when it 818 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,640 Speaker 2: comes to Charlotte just I'm gonna pull for him because 819 00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 2: I want some momentum into the off season so Biff 820 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 2: can hit the recruiting trail and the portal so that 821 00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 2: next year we can really front load the entire season 822 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,800 Speaker 2: in the August preview season with lots of back to 823 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 2: the future too, Biff with the Gray's Almanac kind of references. 824 00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,640 Speaker 2: So I'm hoping that they can become the new Mexico 825 00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,799 Speaker 2: State the gambling darling for next year, but they do 826 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:49,160 Speaker 2: not have the horses at this point. 827 00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,840 Speaker 1: Happy, you're happy with the choice.
