1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal hull. That for me, I'm

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: a man, I'm forty.

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 2: I've heard so many players say, well, I want to

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 2: be happy.

5
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 3: You want to be happy for day Edo State?

6
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 2: Is that?

7
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: Whoa whoam and Dan and tie Dan Rubinstein. You know,

8
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: over half of the ap top twenty five was in

9
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: serious peril in week eight. We had nine of the

10
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: top twenty five, four of the top ten lose. We

11
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: had four other teams spread out across the top twenty

12
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: five that at some point or another were in serious

13
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: danger of losing. This is seemingly becoming a trend. Now,

14
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 1: this is like a couple straight weeks of this. It's

15
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: really playing on the nerves. It's great if you're a

16
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: college football siccle like you and I and we need

17
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: stuff to talk about. But holy hell, this thing is

18
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: ramping up. This thing is getting crazy. We're only about

19
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: midway through October. Dan, there is a long way to go,

20
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: my friend. Welcome back to you, Welcome back to one

21
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: and all who have downloaded, who have supported. Some of

22
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: you may be watching live out on YouTube. If so,

23
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,559
Speaker 1: we will be taking some of your questions a little

24
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 1: bit later on in this broadcast. Dan, But yes, welcome back,

25
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: my friend. How are you. I'm good.

26
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 3: If you're watching live, you might be split screening it

27
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 3: or quad boxing it with the pride of the Patriot

28
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 3: League Lafayette their Leopards taking it to the anchor of

29
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 3: the New pac twelve Oregon State on the Road, Lafayette

30
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 3: up thirteen ten at halftime a time of recording. I'm good.

31
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 3: This was a relentless week eight. To me, this was

32
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 3: from the start, from the jump. You can go back

33
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 3: to Tuesday, you can go to Thursday, you can go

34
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 3: to Friday, you can go all day Saturday. It was

35
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 3: unrelenting and NonStop, and I've got a lot of thoughts,

36
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,919
Speaker 3: as I'm sure everybody watching live, listening after the fact,

37
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 3: co hosting with me. I'm sure everybody does. Let's upload

38
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 3: and download. It's really difficult.

39
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, when we do these reaction streams at midnight to

40
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: organize our thoughts in some sort of timely fashion and

41
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 1: furthermore put them down on a document in some way

42
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: that makes logical sense. Yeah, because nothing that we have

43
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: seen over the last couple weeks has made a whole

44
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: lot of logical sense. We have a lot of weird results.

45
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: You mentioned Lafayette's up at halftime, like we have Stanford's up. Yeah,

46
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: Stanford's up. We have seen a lot of stuff like

47
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: that over the last couple of weeks, and as we

48
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: get deeper into conference slates, obviously as we happen upon

49
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: some odd circumstances that only occur the deeper we get

50
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: into the conference schedules. It my sense is that this

51
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: isn't going to go away anytime soon. It doesn't matter

52
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: if the slate when we preview it on a Tuesday

53
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: or a Thursday, appears as if there aren't going to

54
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: be any killer games on it. This just keeps happening, Dan,

55
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: where the games keep finding us. We're not necessarily finding them,

56
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: and they're all kind of crazy. So it's great if

57
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: you're a college football fan. We're going to talk through,

58
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: you know, like eight of the big games that really

59
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: jumped out to us. There are far too many to

60
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: go into detail on if we want to try and

61
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: do all of the games across college football. Of course,

62
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: anything now all of them, well, anything that we don't

63
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: get to on the reaction stream will try to build

64
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: into what we talk about on Tuesday and Thursday of

65
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: the coming week. But you know, for our purposes here,

66
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: and I guess just for the sanity of those watching

67
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: it listening, let's try to confine it to the like

68
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: eight biggest games and maybe some honorable mentions that jumped

69
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: out to us as we watch college football Week eight.

70
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 3: All right, it's an interim type of season. Obviously, coaches

71
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 3: are being fired left and right. Alex Mortensen, you Ab, yeah,

72
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 3: baby go the Blazers. South's Jerry Neuheisel, right, NEPO success

73
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 3: all over the place. Alex Morrison, the son of the

74
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 3: late great Chris Mortenson. Okay, where but UAB did beat

75
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 3: undefeated Memphis.

76
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: We showed a wild game too. That was a wild

77
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: freaking was the crazy game.

78
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,119
Speaker 3: Memphis looked like they were going to tie the score

79
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 3: late and between penalties and you know, knees being down.

80
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 3: It didn't happen from Memphis, but a crazy game at

81
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 3: the end. Good for UAB after they fired Trent til

82
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 3: for to get that w against a headline opponent. Of course,

83
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 3: a great performance especially through the air for the Blazers. Okay, uh,

84
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 3: where else would you like to start? Why don't we

85
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 3: start on Friday night?

86
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 4: Dan?

87
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: Let's why don't we start on Friday night. Miami was

88
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: about a two touchdown favorite at home, and we had

89
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: joked about the traffic situation in Miami. What's the stadium

90
00:04:58,960 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: gonna look like?

91
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 3: A pretty good, pretty good thing for me? Right to

92
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,679
Speaker 3: look up traffic patterns ahead of this game.

93
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: I would expect nothing less, my friend, Thank you very much,

94
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: a little insight. Miami was a heavy favorite hosting Louisville,

95
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: and this was a game in which we have seen

96
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: Miami over the years just an odd result. It's not

97
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: always a loss, right, not always the kind of thing

98
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: that you even remember, sure, but these are the types

99
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: of games that if Miami is truly back, if they

100
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: are back to being the U and the swagger has returned,

101
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: these are the types of games that they need to

102
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: win going away. Okay, Louisville snapped Miami's ten game home

103
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: winning streak. They won this game twenty four to twenty one.

104
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: You may recall one member of this dynamic duo talked

105
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: about this last Tuesday that or last I guess Thursday,

106
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,239
Speaker 1: that Jeff Brohm doesn't typically get out coached in games

107
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: like this, they always win. But they would be ready

108
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: for Miami, and as such, they pulled out all the

109
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: stops here. We had a fake reverse and a fake

110
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: field goal on the opening drive. Yes, we had three

111
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: different guys take snaps at quarterback. For Louisville, it felt

112
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: like they had Miami on their heels the entire game

113
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: for the majority of the game at a bare minimum.

114
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: So on top of that, it was a good game

115
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: for Miller Moss, it was a really good game for

116
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: Isaac Brown, with the exception of a crucial fumble in

117
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. And it was a huge win for

118
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: the Louisville Cardinals, who now suddenly are thrust into the

119
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: ACC Championship conversation by knocking off the presumed best team

120
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: in the ACC, despite the fact that they were a

121
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: thirteen and a half point dog.

122
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 3: Yes, uninspired performance in a lot of different facets. Offensively,

123
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 3: which is nothing to say of the turnovers for Miami

124
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 3: on offense, but defensively, Miami needed to adjust more, but

125
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 3: it wasn't catastrophic. There was way too much Isaac Brown,

126
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 3: I'm sure for the fans of Miami's liking way too

127
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 3: much Chris Bell, but this wasn't an explosive, consistent performance

128
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 3: from Louisville's offense. It was a good performance from Louisville's offense,

129
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 3: Miami wasn't really able to adjust and get in the

130
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 3: faces of receivers all too often. The tackling wasn't amazing,

131
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 3: wasn't the best tackling day for Miami, but the game

132
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 3: was still despite the turnovers. And by the way, it

133
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,559
Speaker 3: was four turnovers, four interceptions for Carson Beck five if

134
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 3: we don't count the TICKI tac roughing the past, so

135
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 3: that didn't even get a flag. It didn't get a flag.

136
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 3: It just had refs talking with each other, huddling up

137
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 3: football term to discuss a penalty after the fact. It

138
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 3: was a really, really bad day for Carson Beck. And

139
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 3: we're not defined by our worst days, We're not defined

140
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 3: by our best days. This was Carson Beck's clear worst

141
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 3: day as a college football quarterback. And even though Louisville

142
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 3: I don't believe scored any points off of those interceptions,

143
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 3: certainly those are potential points off the board for Miami,

144
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 3: So huge difference maker for the Canes with rest at home,

145
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 3: nothing short of especially on offense, wildly disappointing for a

146
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 3: Friday night. They couldn't run the ball, They didn't really

147
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 3: try to run the ball with any sort of creativity.

148
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 3: I think it was they run for sixty someond yards

149
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 3: sixty three yards.

150
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: It was two point six per carry.

151
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 3: Two point six per carry, And I can imagine that

152
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 3: if you're a Miami fan, you are overwhelmed with disgust

153
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 3: for what you watch from this Miami team offensively and again,

154
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 3: it was a horrible night for Carson Beck. Doesn't mean

155
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 3: he's a horrible quarterback, doesn't mean Miami is suddenly going

156
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 3: to be horrible on offense. But I saw people calling

157
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 3: him Arson Beck, colon setting dreams on fire, and I

158
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 3: didn't think that was right. I didn't I first of all,

159
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 3: I just like he's still a college kid and we

160
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 3: have to respect the process of what Miami's going through.

161
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 3: So it was horrible, and this does changed the outlook

162
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 3: for Miami's season. They've got a couple of tough road

163
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 3: games ahead. They need some losses now to break tie breakers.

164
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 3: They'll be okay. I think we should come away and

165
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 3: pressed with Louisville's resolve on the road again, winning at

166
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 3: Miami for the second consecutive time, second consecutive visit and

167
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 3: coming up with those big plays late and got met

168
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 3: Carson Beck at the end in the presser sort of

169
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 3: alluding to the fact that the receiver ran the wrong route.

170
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 3: There was a good play for the pressure package that

171
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 3: Louisville was showing. It's like, you can't complain about that

172
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 3: when you have three four other picks. You just you

173
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 3: got a tough look. It wasn't my night. I have

174
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 3: a lot of regrets.

175
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a tough look. I mean, I get the frustration.

176
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: Like you say, he's still a young guy. I understand

177
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: where he's coming from. But more to the point on

178
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: Louisville and the coaching job that they did, and I

179
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: guess to further emphasize the whole notion that Jeff Brown

180
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: is a really good big game coach. Yeah, he doesn't

181
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: get out coach in these situations. Taylor McGregor, I don't

182
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: know if you saw this, but asked him after the game,

183
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: what was your game plan? You know, why were you

184
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: so successful? What was the game plan? And he basically

185
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: said that they wanted to make Carson Beck throw it more.

186
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: They wanted to make Carson Beck beat him through the air. Now,

187
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: obviously Miami is a crazy amount of weaponry out wide,

188
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: Like Malachi Tony's incredible, and he's a true freshman. He

189
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: just turned eighteen. They mentioned that a couple times on

190
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: the broadcast a couple of weeks ago. He's going to

191
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 1: have an amazing college career. Miami is not short on

192
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: any of these athletes. But it seemed as though Jeff

193
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: Brom saw something on the tape. He wanted to put

194
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: Carson Beck in a position where he had to beat them,

195
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: and lo and behold, he finishes with four interceptions. Now, look,

196
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: we have a lot of Miami people that watch and

197
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: comment on these videos and are very active in the verballerhood.

198
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: I want them to know that this is not these

199
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: comments are not intended to start any kind of dunk contest. Okay,

200
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: I'm ready come on to Everything that you brought to

201
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: this conversation is one hundred percent accurate. Okay. And for sure,

202
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: when your quarterback throws four interceptions against a good team,

203
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: even if the good team is not converting those into points,

204
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna lose that game. More often than that. That's

205
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: tough to come back from against a decent opponent. O. Great,

206
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: Certainly a lot of the blame for this loss belongs

207
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: to Carson Beck. Yeah, but also in case you're wondering

208
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: about the source of our Mario crystal ball jokes. Mario, Yeah,

209
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: Miami had the ball at the end of the game.

210
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 1: They did with all their timeouts about a minute and

211
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: a half. I think it was maybe might have been

212
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: a minute and forty five left yep, midfield. You've got

213
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: a ten million dollar quarterback or whatever they're paying them.

214
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: They've got an offense that's been nails all season long,

215
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: one of the best, if not the best, in the country.

216
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: You've got an offensive line that maybe wasn't quite as

217
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: dominant against Louisville, but is still one of the best

218
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: in college football. They had every advantage in that situation.

219
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: Chrysto Ball ran cluck.

220
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 3: I mean they were inside the thirty five, right, kind

221
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 3: of played over time left, they were letting the clock wind.

222
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: I don't know.

223
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 3: I mean, look again, they were inside, they were paying

224
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 3: for overtime. They played for overtime. They weren't taking shots,

225
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 3: they were playing for overtime.

226
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: What is that? What is that? I would expect this

227
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: Miami team would be better than that. And I think

228
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: if I were a fan of Miami, I would be wondering,

229
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: why are we playing for a long field goal here? Right, why,

230
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: like why they had a lot of momentum at the

231
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: end of that game. By the way, they did long drive,

232
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: they got the fumble from Isaac Brown, they got the

233
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: short touchdown. It seemed as though things were very much

234
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: going in Miami's direction. They had to wind at their

235
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: back and again we see this ultra conservative play calling

236
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: down the stretch.

237
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 3: But I mean, not too defend whatever that was being

238
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 3: thought about on the sideline. Thinking that like, oh, Carson

239
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 3: Beck in this passing game is the answer and their

240
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 3: nails and they're going to finish this off is not

241
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 3: necessarily the most obvious way of looking at the situation.

242
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: Here, and especially especially since he had a rough night.

243
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: I get that, that's what I'm saying, Okay, I get

244
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: that this wasn't the only situation in this game, Dan,

245
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: there were earlier situations where they were settling for field

246
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: goals as well. Yeah, so, I don't know. I just

247
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: thought this was the epitome of why we have made

248
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: the jokes. And Miami people could yell at me if

249
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: they want, Yeah, right, there's plenty of blame to go around,

250
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: But that, in particular to me, really stuck out, really

251
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: stuck out as something that frustrated me, not really having

252
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: a dog in the fight, okay, and I just I'd

253
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: be curious to hear from Miami people, so if I'm wrong,

254
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: let me know. But otherwise that was sort of my impression. Again,

255
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: your final score was twenty four to twenty one. That

256
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: was how we kicked off this weekend. The number two

257
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: team in the AP poll goes down. There were a

258
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: number of other games, obviously that we mentioned that I

259
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: think rose to the same level as being just earth

260
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: shattering in some way, shape or form shattering.

261
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 3: Are we getting to show Heyotani now, is that what

262
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 3: you're talking about? That's what I was watching at the

263
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 3: same time.

264
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: We could probably do an hour fifty you know, show

265
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: a and uh, I'm not even a Dodgers fanly that

266
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: was ridiculous. Oh man, okay, where are we going? Georgia

267
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: wins forty three to thirty five over Old Miss. This

268
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: was the highest ranked matchup of the day to top

269
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: ten teams going at it. I think I had Ole Miss.

270
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: Did you have Georgia in this one? Did you pick Georgian?

271
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 3: I think I had Old Miss covering Okay, but I

272
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 3: don't know.

273
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: I don't remember who I had winning. I did not.

274
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 3: I did not see this going forty three to thirty five.

275
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 3: I can tell you that no Dan talk about a shootout,

276
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 3: my friend, good hell. Defense was extreme optional in this game.

277
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 3: You did not need to bring defense if you wanted

278
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 3: to win this game. Old Miss could not stop anything.

279
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 3: Georgia was at least able to contain the run and

280
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 3: put the game on the arm of Trinidad Chambliss. Trinidad

281
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 3: Chambliss was solid for the most part. I thought he

282
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 3: played another pretty good game. Eventually Georgia found a way

283
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 3: to kind of lock him down in the fourth quarter.

284
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 3: They got a couple stops. It was just enough to give.

285
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: Them that separation and eventually win again by eight points.

286
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: What were your impressions of this game? This was kind

287
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: of back and forth. There were a lot of points.

288
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: It did not go the way I expected. I thought

289
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: this would be lower scoring, more defensive minded, and I

290
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: have thoughts on that that we can discuss. But what

291
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: were your takeaways?

292
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 3: Basically that the Georgia defense when they needed to make

293
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 3: plays in the fourth quarter was absolutely everywhere. They were

294
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 3: getting hands and arms and limbs in the way of passes.

295
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 3: They were making plays on the ground, we came in

296
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 3: and discussed that what Georgia has done well on defense,

297
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 3: which hasn't been you know, a big thing for them

298
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 3: succeeding on defense this season, they have stopped the run,

299
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 3: and where Ole Miss has succeeded against the better defenses

300
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 3: that they've played against this year, it's been Kawan Lacy

301
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 3: on the ground, Trinidad Chambliss scrambling. And there was nothing

302
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 3: there against this Georgia team now, and that was for

303
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 3: the majority of the game. There were plays here and there,

304
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 3: but that was not anything that Ole Miss could hang

305
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 3: their hats on. And that, I mean, the biggest takeaway,

306
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 3: and I don't know how there's anything else here to

307
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 3: take away, is that Gunner Stockton is a closer. He

308
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 3: is an absolute that's from nails closer.

309
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: That's exactly what I wrote down.

310
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 3: And so just you know, not turning the ball over,

311
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 3: making plays, improvising with his legs, with his arms down field,

312
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 3: you know, spreading the ball around. The play calling seemed

313
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 3: to be more varied than usual for Mike Bobo, you know,

314
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 3: finding ways to get receivers the ball in a variety

315
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 3: of different looks that there was just something about Georgia

316
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 3: finishing and there were times, and this is it was

317
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 3: not always for ole Miss. It just seemed that the

318
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 3: Georgia legs were more active. There was more electricity to

319
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 3: the Georgia legs on both sides of the ball in

320
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter than ole Miss at times. And I

321
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 3: don't know if that's a home field thing. I don't

322
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 3: know if that's a confidence thing. I don't know if

323
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 3: that's an exhaustion thing from ole Miss, But there was

324
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 3: something about there was some some sort of buzzing that

325
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 3: came across on screen about where George's energy level was

326
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,479
Speaker 3: late that really came through the screen for me. And

327
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 3: so Gunner Stockton was incredible. He was an absolute closer.

328
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 3: And for them to do that in this kind of

329
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 3: back and forth where it actually really looked like ole

330
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 3: Miss was gonna win this game, I thought they were

331
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 3: coming up with big plays. It was to Jean Stribbling,

332
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 3: I think that what Oklahoma State transfer, right, They're they're

333
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 3: utilizing different dudes in different ways, Trey Wallace, and it

334
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 3: looked like they were going to go in there and

335
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 3: steal it, and to Georgie's credit, they just wouldn't allow it.

336
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 1: Gunner Stockton was twenty six of thirty one passing for

337
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 1: four touchdowns. He also added ten carries for fifty nine

338
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown on the ground. One thing that

339
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:18,199
Speaker 1: jumped out to me, and it occurred again as I

340
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: watched Alabama knockoff Tennessee this evening. Some of the best

341
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: versions of Georgia and Alabama that we've seen over the

342
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: years gave off this era of inevitability. Yep, now it's different.

343
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 1: It's different this time around. Okay, I don't think anybody

344
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: thinks Georgia or Alabama or a bulletproof that was how

345
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: it used to feel. Maybe in the modern era with

346
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 1: nil and the transfer portal and all that, that's kind

347
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: of gone by the wayside. But there is a different

348
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: sense of inevitability with these two teams. In fact, the

349
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 1: only time we didn't see it is when they played

350
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 1: each other, But when they're playing everybody else, you just

351
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: get this sense, especially with Georgia because we've seen it

352
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: a couple times now, they're just going to figure out

353
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: a way to do it right. They're just going to

354
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: figure out a way to do it. And that was

355
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: my overarching impression of this Georgia team. They've been in

356
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 1: a couple of games like this now where the defense

357
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,959
Speaker 1: goes out the window. They just need an extra stop,

358
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: They just need a big play. As you say, off

359
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: and winning is a skill. It is a skill. And however,

360
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: Georgia is getting these wins okay, whether it's by scoring

361
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: forty three points or twenty points. I mean, they have

362
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: really been adaptable to the situation. And they now find

363
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: themselves where they knocked off a top five team, They've

364
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: only got one loss. They are clearly going to catapult

365
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: up a couple notches at least in the polls, if

366
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: not end up as a top five team when the

367
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: latest batch of polls come out. This is one of

368
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 1: those teams. It's very formidable now, not to say that

369
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: there was any impression that they wouldn't be. It is

370
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 1: still Georgia, but the ways that they are winning these games,

371
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: you could definitely take one in a vacuum and say, ah,

372
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: they got a little bit lucky there. But we are

373
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 1: starting to see more and more of this from Georgia.

374
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean that their bulletproof, but it does mean that

375
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: they are good at finding ways to get the dub

376
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: and I think they need to be commended for that.

377
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 1: I really do. This is a good Old Miss team.

378
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: This is an Old Miss team that's going to continue

379
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: winning a bunch of games. I agree. I thought for

380
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 1: a while there they were gonna end up stealing this

381
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: one from Georgia. But Elijah is Georgia finds a way.

382
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 3: Georgia has treated this season as if they are playing

383
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 3: an old RPG. I didn't play a lot of RPGs.

384
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 3: But they're collecting gemstones and shields and weapons in creeks

385
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 3: and in forests and in general stores. However, they need

386
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 3: to assemble everything that they find along their journey. They're

387
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 3: doing it. Whether it's the Tennessee game, whether it's the

388
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 3: Auvereign game, whether it's the Old Miss game. They're finding

389
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 3: ways to sort of fill up their win satchel tie.

390
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:58,959
Speaker 3: Thank you, Hi, Dan Rubenstein, I'm running to be your college.

391
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: Okay, continue forty three two thirty five? Was your final,

392
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: really really nice winner for the Georgia Bulldogs. I just

393
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: think it's interesting to look at what Georgia has left. Okay,

394
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 1: we're only about halfway through the season now, maybe a

395
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: little bit over it depending on the team, but like

396
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 1: they've got a Florida team still on the schedule in

397
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: a rivalry spot. They're on the road at Mississippi State,

398
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: they're home against Texas, they're home against Charlotte. They've got

399
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: a neutral site game to close out the year against

400
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech. There's a pretty good chance that the most

401
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: losable game on that remaining slate is a non conference

402
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: game against Georgia Tech. Could because I have no idea

403
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: what state Florida is, and even though they were in

404
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 1: a close one and you know, at times, wow, maybe

405
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 1: we can talk about that one. Maybe not, but Mississippi State.

406
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 1: Mississippi State's been a tough out, but I still think

407
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: George is better. Texas will get to Texas. But that's

408
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: a winnable game for the Georgia Bulldogs.

409
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 3: Hey, look, a lot of teams sometimes don't look great

410
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 3: against Kentucky but pull out win against Kentucky. That's sort

411
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 3: of the Mark stoops, you know, mantra like we're not

412
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 3: gonna guess, I guess holding you down to our level.

413
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. Texas has been playing a lot of

414
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: Kentucky's this year, so true, for whatever that's worth to you. Again,

415
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: Georgia forty three, oll miss thirty five. Let's stay in

416
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: the top ten. Let's go over the big twelve. This

417
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: is a wild frigging game, Dan, Yeah, this is Arizona

418
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: State twenty six Texas Tech twenty two. So if you

419
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: didn't watch, here's what happened. Texas Tech storms back from

420
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 1: a twelve point hole late in the game. They take

421
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: a lead twenty two to nineteen. Yes.

422
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 3: Oh, and by the way, let's back up just real quick.

423
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 3: Sam Levitt is essentially a Friday morning decision.

424
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: Yes right.

425
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 3: It was Jeff Simms last week and they got shellacked.

426
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 3: Sam Levitt does not look fully healthy, but looks gutty

427
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 3: and aggressive in any way he can given his injuries.

428
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 3: And it is not a Baron Morton game for Texas Tech.

429
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 3: It is a Will Hammond game, starting at quarterback, who

430
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 3: looked great in that Utah game but in subsequent reps

431
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 3: and appearances has looked less than stellar.

432
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: They give the ball back to Sam Levitt with a

433
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: twenty two to nineteen lead. In eighty six seconds. He

434
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: drives the field ten plays seventy five yards. It is

435
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: mostly Sam Levitt and Jordan Tyson. Jordan Tyson, by the way,

436
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: he is playing a one leg out there. He got

437
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: he was injured he was limping around most of the

438
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 1: second half. They cap that off a touchdown run with

439
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: thirty four seconds left from ray Leak Brown. In the end,

440
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 1: ASU wins twenty six to twenty two, again another top

441
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: ten team going down. The fans storm the field. I

442
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: think they tore down the goalposts. On the point of

443
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: Sam Levitt, You're right, he was, like you said a

444
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: Friday morning decision. One of the reasons that I thought

445
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: we both favored Texas Tech in this game was a

446
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: point that you brought up about Sam Levitt was even

447
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: if he were going to play, given the fact that

448
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: he just had a boot on his leg, we didn't

449
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: expect that Sam Levitt would be the best of Sam Levitt,

450
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: which is he likes to move around, He'll throw his

451
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: body around. He plays a very physical brand of quarterback.

452
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,679
Speaker 1: We did see a little bit more of that than

453
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: I expected, right, and it was physical. Yeah. There were

454
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: comments from Kenny Dillingham earlier in the week that he

455
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: was getting first team reps, and we kind of side

456
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: eyed that because we heard that a week prior. But

457
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: Kenny Dillingham did make mention of the fact that sam

458
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: Levitt looked a lot more like himself, and that was

459
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 1: kind of my impression here just watching him out there.

460
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: Maybe not one hundred percent, but definitely looked more like

461
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,479
Speaker 1: the Sam Levitt that I think everybody gets so excited about.

462
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: And certainly on that final drive where they went down

463
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: the field seventy five yards very quickly, it was all

464
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: the reasons that people have been excited about ASU, you know,

465
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 1: especially on offense, they were able to get the job

466
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: done in a really big way. And then if you

467
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: look at it, I guess from the other perspective, like

468
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: Tech couldn't really do much on offense until later in

469
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 1: this game. They finished with less than three hundred yards

470
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: to seventy six, give or take.

471
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 3: Maybe I got that number wrong, but uneven play calling

472
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 3: an execution I would say Uneeden. Again, it wasn't until

473
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 3: late that they really switched this on. I think the

474
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 3: combination of not really getting much, if anything going on

475
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 3: the ground with Will Hammond getting the start, it just

476
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 3: it felt like they were very arrhythmic. It felt like

477
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 3: Arizona State had a good game plan to try and

478
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 3: love myth by the way.

479
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 1: Thank you. It just felt like Arizona stated a really

480
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: good game plan for what they expected Texas Tech was

481
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 1: going to try and do on offense and you know,

482
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: came on late, but ultimately weren't able to get the

483
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: job done. It was Arizona State winning this one at home,

484
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: getting a big dub.

485
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 3: It was, by the way, that play. I think it

486
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 3: was Sam l It rolling out to the right on

487
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 3: fourth and two, Jordan Tyson sort of improvising going down

488
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 3: the sideline for a big gain on again, you mentioned

489
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 3: one leg, but yeah, it was Sam Levitt, just the

490
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 3: plays that he made, throwing the ball downfield. I know

491
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 3: I make these baseball illusions all the time, right, but

492
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 3: it looked like a right fielder in the corner just

493
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 3: throwing everything he had into a throw to get it home,

494
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 3: you know, throwing internal organs around to get it downfield.

495
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: And it worked.

496
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 3: There is something gutty and there is something that you

497
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 3: see sort of Kenny Dillingham's personality shining through with this team.

498
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: Really really, I.

499
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 3: Don't think it again, I don't think it changes much

500
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 3: for the Big twelve and for Texas Tech. I know

501
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 3: it's going to affect tiebreakers now right. It's a Utah

502
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 3: destroys Texas Tech. Late, excuse me, Texas Tech destroys Utah

503
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:53,199
Speaker 3: Late Utah destroys Arizona State, albeit without Sam Levitt, and

504
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 3: now as you beats Texas Tech. So we always knew

505
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 3: this was going to be a sort of mess at

506
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 3: the top because there are enough quality teams in the

507
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 3: Big twelve. We'll see what happens. Obviously we had Holy

508
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 3: Warts tonight as well, which will affect things. But I

509
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 3: think Texas Tech is in, depending on Baron Morton's health

510
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 3: moving forward, which is perennial career question for Baron Morton

511
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 3: and Texas Tech. I think Texas Tech is still a pace.

512
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 3: I never thought they were going to go twelve. And oh,

513
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 3: I don't think Texas Tech fans really anticipated them going

514
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 3: undefeated throughout the season, even though hopes, you know, obviously

515
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 3: were raised and expectations were raised these first few games.

516
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 1: I don't think it changes much.

517
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 3: Texas Tech at full quality and if they're calling a

518
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 3: good game, can beat a lot of teams in this country.

519
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. And this is a really nice win

520
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: for Arizona State. You know, I asked you as I

521
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: think falling off a little bit just in terms of

522
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: the national conversation because of some of the losses and

523
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: some of the games they've played here in the early winning.

524
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: But just when yeah, you win a game like this,

525
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: you get back on the radar back and the conversation

526
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:57,959
Speaker 1: pretty quickly.

527
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 3: Where do you want to go next? Let's go LSU

528
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 3: Vanderbilt if that's okay with you.

529
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: Look, we both called this one. Did you have LSU winning? Though? No,

530
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 1: we both said that Vandi both said Vandy outright? Okay? Continue?

531
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: And it still feels weird, doesn't it.

532
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 2: Not?

533
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 1: If you watch Vandy play man, I know, but it

534
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 1: still feels weird to me. It still feels weird, much

535
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 1: like Indiana still feels weird for a lot of people.

536
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: Vandy still feels weird to me. It feels weird to

537
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: be having this conversation about Vandy, especially when they're playing

538
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: against a team like an LSU. Vandy wins thirty one

539
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: to twenty four are read again. When we did the

540
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: preview on Thursday, was Vandy's the better team right now?

541
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: Lo and behold, Vandy was the better team on Saturday.

542
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: What I found most interesting about this game sort of

543
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: separate from the nuts and bolts and the stats that

544
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: maybe we can get into if we want to, this

545
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: game to me was the perfect example of how Vandy

546
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: wants to play football. Certainly, this was their blueprint executed

547
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: to a tea and we've talked about it, and I

548
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,719
Speaker 1: know I keep talking about this bonus episode that we

549
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: did probably a month ago now, where we did a

550
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: deep dive of everything that Vandy does offensively and how

551
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: it all works together. That's at our patreon at for

552
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: bowlers dot com, Good plug Solid. I'm not trying to

553
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: sell anybody in anything, but but it's interesting to me

554
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: that we saw this play out the way that we did.

555
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: The blueprint is very simple for Vandy. They want to

556
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: dominate time of possession, they want to limit how many

557
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: drives and opponent can get, and they basically want to

558
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: force everybody themselves included, to be super efficient. If you

559
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: want to win, you've got to be super efficient. You

560
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: can beat Vandy, but you just got to be buttoned up.

561
00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: LSU only got eight drives in this game. For context,

562
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: they've been averaging a little over eleven drives per game. Now,

563
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: that may not sound like a lot, but again, that's

564
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: three fewer bites at the Apple if you're LSU. And

565
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: by the way, this is an LSU team that has

566
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: struggled for the vast majority of the season on offense. Right,

567
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: So Vandy did what Vandy does and they forced LSU

568
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: to be better. And LSU had some nice moments in

569
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: this game, but Vandy ends up rushing for two hundred

570
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: and thirty nine yards. Vandy controls time of possession. I

571
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: just mentioned how Vandy limited how many opposing possessions they surrendered.

572
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: They also scored thirty one points because they were efficient

573
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: in their own right when they had the ball. That's

574
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: the most anybody has scored on the LSU defense so

575
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: far this season, and it's kind of not even close.

576
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: So again, they had a plan. They have a very

577
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: strong sense of self. They have an identity, and this

578
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: is the value of having that identity. If you have it,

579
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: if you can execute it, if you can sort of

580
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: live by that credo, you can do what Vandy's doing.

581
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: Kudos to them, man, this is a big friggin win

582
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: at home. Yes, good for Clarkly.

583
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 3: By the way, you mentioned that it's the most points

584
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 3: that LSU has allowed this season. It's the most points

585
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 3: LSU has scored against a Power Conference opponent this year,

586
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 3: twenty four.

587
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: So there's that. Look LSU struggled.

588
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 3: You mentioned you can't donate to Vanderbilt if you're gonna

589
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 3: beat Vandy, and there were too many donations. And you know,

590
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 3: as as talented as LSU looks like they can be,

591
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 3: at times, they'll get one or two long runs here

592
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 3: or there, but they're never controlling the game with their offense.

593
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: And when you.

594
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 3: See that ten or you see that eight or that

595
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 3: fourteen next to their name, that's why people have been

596
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 3: skeptical of this LSU team, because there's only so much

597
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 3: you can do with it defense and a hopeful offense

598
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 3: rather than an established offense. And you'll get those, you know,

599
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 3: once a season type performances or type play like it

600
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 3: was what Xavi and Thomas who somehow ran through seven

601
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 3: different Vandy players on a broken dice. That was an

602
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 3: incredible It's an unreal individual effort, incredible, incredible. But LSU

603
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 3: needs that to win big or sizable games, and it's

604
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 3: just impossible to count on. And I almost I feel

605
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 3: bad for Garrett and Asmeyer and the way that I

606
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 3: felt bad for you know, LSU has this weird way

607
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 3: of producing these quarterbacks or developing these quarterbacks good bad

608
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 3: somewhere in between. So you go back to Max Johnson,

609
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 3: you go back to even Jaden Daniels, Like, they get

610
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 3: their quarterbacks abused at LSU, and even when they succeed,

611
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 3: they get hit. Garrett Asmeyer was hit by Vandy a

612
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 3: ton in this one. And so I don't know, man,

613
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 3: you talk about the Vandy blueprint, it's still sort of like,

614
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 3: let Diago Pavia figure it out.

615
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: And some go yes.

616
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 3: And sometimes it works famously with his legs, with his

617
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 3: improvising the huge screen at the end of the game

618
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 3: across the field, he makes clutch throws. He somehow has

619
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 3: a nose for the first down, marker, nose for the

620
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 3: end zone, knows for big plays. They're not bombing the

621
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 3: ball down field. No, that's not a part of this offense. No,

622
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 3: They're just consistently finding ways to elongate these drives. And

623
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 3: it's it's damn impressive, it really is.

624
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Clark Lee to that point deserves

625
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: a lot of credit because upon bringing Diago Pavia, Yeah,

626
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: Diego Pavia over, they did sort of build around him.

627
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: You know, they have been very good at highlighting what

628
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: he is good at, and as such they have kind

629
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: of developed this philosophy that has been working very well

630
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: now over the last two years. I'm very curious to

631
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: see where Vandy ends up in the latest round of polling.

632
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: Because lsu Sure love of them or Hayden was a

633
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 1: top ten team, Vandy was number seventeen in the ap pole.

634
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: It would not surprise me one bit if we see

635
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 1: Vandy take a gigantic leap. I don't think they're going

636
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: to get all the way up into the top ten.

637
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,800
Speaker 1: But if we're having this conversation on Tuesday and Vandy's

638
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: like number twelve in the country, I don't think anybody

639
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: should be surprised by that. I'm curious to see where

640
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: Averballer Pole ranks Vandy. You know, there's a lot of

641
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: Vandy Diehard's out there in the verballerhood, people who are

642
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: just fascinated with this story, which will probably give them

643
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: a little bit more of a boost. But this is

644
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: a legitimate team. They're very very solid. You know, they

645
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 1: might not knock you over with explosiveness, with playmakers, with anything,

646
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: but they play really well as a team. They have

647
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: a very strong identity, and they're just good at doing

648
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: what they do.

649
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 3: So they have left the most fascinating schedule.

650
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,919
Speaker 1: Vandy has. I'm glad you're bringing this up. I'm glad

651
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: you're bringing this up.

652
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 3: A Missou team who knows? Who knows? After Missoo's overtime

653
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 3: win against Auburn tonight, they've got a Texas team on

654
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 3: the road. Who knows? After Texas's overtime win against Kentucky,

655
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 3: they have an Auburn team, elite loser. Let's just be clear.

656
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 3: Auburn is a bloodhound for losses. They will sniff out

657
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,720
Speaker 3: a loss, no matter how much you think that's buried

658
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 3: in the in the forest, in the jungle, in the Sahara.

659
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: They have that that knows for your elite losers as.

660
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 1: I don't know how they keep doing it.

661
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 3: They have Kentucky and they finished on the road at Tennessee.

662
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 1: What a fascinating schedule. It's great.

663
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 3: Did I say, Diago? Is that what I said?

664
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:44,439
Speaker 1: Diago? Yeah?

665
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 3: Maybe, I'm just I've seen Anchorman so many times with

666
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 3: San Diego.

667
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 1: I was just worked up. I don't know what to

668
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: tell you. You mentioned Tennessee. Let's talk about the Bama

669
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: Tennessee game. Sure, Uh, Bama wins this one going away.

670
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: I was wrong. I had it in my head that

671
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 1: Tennessee was going to pull the outright upset. For a

672
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: while I was thinking they might cover, but Alas, this

673
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,720
Speaker 1: was Alabama doing what Alabama does. Speaking of the pixie

674
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: dust that I mentioned a little bit ago with Georgia,

675
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,280
Speaker 1: and speaking of what I just talked about with Vandy

676
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 1: having a pretty strong identity knowing what you are, I

677
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: think they're becoming acquainted with what they aren't. Certainly they're

678
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: not much of a rushing team, but they have been

679
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:32,959
Speaker 1: crazy efficient and crazy productive and just a damn hard

680
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: out when it comes to Tye Simpson putting the ball

681
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: in his hands, distributing it out to their playmakers. Against

682
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,280
Speaker 1: everybody that they have played so far, it is a really,

683
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,919
Speaker 1: really difficult asked to try and cover those guys. I still,

684
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,800
Speaker 1: for the life me don't understand the Florida State thing. Okay,

685
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: but that was with week one man, and Week one

686
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 1: is like not of this earth. It's always a little

687
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 1: bit wonky. They have graduated past that. I think the

688
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,240
Speaker 1: version of Alabama that we see now, it's look Tennessee

689
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: didn't play a bad game in my opinion, sure didn't win.

690
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 1: They clearly could have done some stuff better. But the

691
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 1: thought that kept bouncing around in my head is Oh,

692
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 1: Alabama is just a more perfectly evolved version of Tennessee.

693
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: Like you know how when you watch Shark Week, I

694
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: know you're a big shark guy, right, of course, when

695
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 1: you watch Shark Week, they talk often about how sharks

696
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:29,359
Speaker 1: are perfectly evolved over the course of like millions of years. Yeah,

697
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,320
Speaker 1: I'm an orca guy myself, but continue right, Sharks and

698
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:36,240
Speaker 1: orca is inextricably linked, of course, Yeah, of course, but Bama.

699
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 1: Dama's not reached that shark level of evolution. But it

700
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,839
Speaker 1: just feels to me like each time I watch Ty

701
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: Simpson he gets a little bit better and a little

702
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: bit more confident. I think that's a really dangerous thing

703
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 1: for the other teams in the SEC.

704
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 3: Also dangerous throwing the ball to Zaby and Brown right

705
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 3: before the half in an opportunity to score before the

706
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 3: half and have it be returned ninety ten yards the

707
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 3: other way. That changes calculus and I'll push back a

708
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 3: little bit. I know jam Miller and it was good

709
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 3: to have him back. We didn't do anything but coming

710
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 3: back from he was concussed last week or concussion type symptoms.

711
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 3: Alabama was creative in trying to figure out the run

712
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 3: at times utilizing you know, Jeremy Bernard utilizing I think

713
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:23,280
Speaker 3: Ryan Williams had an end around, Daniel Hill had some

714
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 3: some action, and ty Simpson had some gutty runs. They're

715
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:32,839
Speaker 3: not incompetent. It's just not part of their strength. It's

716
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 3: not part of their repertoire right now. And so we

717
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 3: saw that a little bit with Kaylin de Boor when

718
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 3: he took Washington to the National Championship Game and that

719
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 3: team evolved, They ran better as the season evolved, and

720
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 3: so I sort of anticipated some of that with Alabama

721
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:48,280
Speaker 3: moving forward.

722
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: But uh, great win.

723
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 3: Obviously we got to see the Stogies get lit up

724
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 3: at the end.

725
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 1: I saw that was free neat. I mean Tennessee fan,

726
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: not your Tennessee one of the cool things, one of

727
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,280
Speaker 1: the cool traditions. It called smoke them.

728
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 3: If you got them, and uh yeah there. There definitely

729
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 3: is something more confident, more decisive about where Tom ty

730
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,399
Speaker 3: Simpson is now compared to even a few weeks ago.

731
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it's legit, and I think Tennessee's legit too.

732
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 1: Like they ran the ball pretty well with the Sean Bishop. Oh,

733
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: they definitely did. Joey Aguilar is not a perfect quarterback,

734
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: but he's a very good quarterback. And I thought, for

735
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: the most part, with the exception of that backbreaking pick

736
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,919
Speaker 1: that he threw, mostly a pretty good game, a good

737
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 1: game for Braylen Stanley as well at ten catches. On

738
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: the Tennessee side, it's still a very good Tennessee team

739
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:43,760
Speaker 1: that can control the line of scrimmage with its defense.

740
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: Ah ah, can can can?

741
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 3: It has not been like can. I don't think you

742
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 3: can watch this Tennessee team and come away saying like

743
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 3: they can like it happens. But I'm not sure that

744
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,280
Speaker 3: this is something you want to include in the table

745
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 3: of contents when you look at the bibliography of Tennessee season,

746
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 3: that this is a team that has the ability to

747
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 3: defend when it's been a struggle kind of more often

748
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 3: than not.

749
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: Let me say this, Yeah, you bring up a valid point.

750
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:20,439
Speaker 1: I thought they could, Okay, fair, all right, I thought

751
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: they could. But Alabama scored thirty seven points, Arkansas a

752
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 1: week ago scored thirty one points, Mississippi State scored thirty

753
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 1: four points, Georgia scored forty four points. They have given

754
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: up a lot of points this defense, And to that end,

755
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 1: I would say you're right to that end. They have

756
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: definitely underwhelmed. I expected the defense to be a little

757
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: bit more of a strength. I still believe that they

758
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 1: can improve, and I still believe they've got enough talent

759
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 1: to be good the rest of the way. Speaking of like,

760
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: really fascinating schedules for Tennessee. And they've got two losses now,

761
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 1: but on the road at Kentucky next week, They've got

762
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 1: a game against Oklahoma at home. They've got New Mexico State,

763
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: which should be a win. They're on the road at Florida.

764
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: They've got the game, the rivalry game against Vandy at

765
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 1: home to close out the year. I could come up

766
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 1: with about a thousand different ways that those remaining games

767
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 1: could go for Tennessee. And so I think they're gonna

768
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: be one of the more interesting teams to watch in

769
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: the SEC now moving forward, it's a good team. Be

770
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 1: interesting to see how they play against the remainder of

771
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: that schedule. Where do you want to go? You want

772
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: to do USC, Notre Dame. We can do whatever you want.

773
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 1: Come on tis to USC Notre Dame.

774
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 3: Okay, holy hell, Okay, next game?

775
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: How much of this did you watch? Pretty much the

776
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: entire thing.

777
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 3: Look, I'm I'm watching like six games at a time

778
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 3: when you have the schedule with we had tonight, right,

779
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 3: I have Miszoo Auburn going, I have Holy War going,

780
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 3: I have Tennessee Bama going. I watched, you know, the

781
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 3: first half ish of Oregon Rutgers that got out of

782
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 3: control very quickly, speaking of Ancherman, right, it escalated very quickly,

783
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 3: it did. I was watching six to eleven games at

784
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 3: any given time, just cycling through the quad box and

785
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 3: then through the main screen. So I watched a good

786
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 3: amount of this.

787
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 1: CJ. Carr was not good for Notre Dame. He was

788
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 1: not in the rain. In the rain, I mean the

789
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 1: rain picked up the deeper this game went. He seemed

790
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: pretty keyed up early, was not accurate making his throws.

791
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 1: I can imagine if you are out there tuning in

792
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 1: for this game, maybe you're a USC fan, maybe you're

793
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 1: just a college football fan who appreciates a good rivalry

794
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:55,280
Speaker 1: hearing all of this hubbub about CJ. Carr and watching

795
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 1: this version of CJ. Carr and sort of shrugging like

796
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: that's it, that's right, that's what we're getting. This was

797
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: about the worst we've seen of CJ. Carr. I don't

798
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 1: know if it was quite on the same level as

799
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: the Miami game earlier in the year or not, but

800
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 1: this was not a good showing for him. Where Notre

801
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: Dame really earned its keeper was on the ground between

802
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 1: Jeremiah Love and Jadarian Price forty four carries three hundred

803
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: and six yards seven or seven seven yards per carry

804
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 1: in three touchdowns, So it was Jeremiah Love leading the

805
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 1: way two twenty eight on the ground. He got the

806
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: majority of the work Jadarion Price at eighty seven. Jadarian

807
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 1: Price also had a long kickoff return for a touchdown

808
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 1: that sort of gave the momentum back to Notre Dame.

809
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: After USC appeared as if they were going to start

810
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 1: taking the lead and maybe distancing themselves a little bit.

811
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 1: So I thought this was a clunker masquerading as a

812
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,799
Speaker 1: bit of a shootout, is what I said to you,

813
00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 1: Because even though there were elements of Notre Dames offense

814
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 1: that were really effective, Yeah, USC was able to move

815
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: the ball pretty well on him. You know, USC's offense

816
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 1: is still a real deal. They were able to move

817
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: the ball pretty well on them. I thought pretty much

818
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 1: everybody outside of Leonard Moore in the secondary had a

819
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 1: really hard time keeping up with those USC wide receivers.

820
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 1: Jacobe Lane had a really good game six for one

821
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 1: to eleven. Even mackay Lemon got in on the action.

822
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 1: You know, had one long run where he kind of

823
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: got some separation from Leonard Moore, who was on him

824
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 1: most of the game. But to me, this brought up

825
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: a real question about the Notre Dame defense against better offenses.

826
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 1: This might be the best to play here. I don't

827
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 1: know where it goes from here, right, so maybe this

828
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 1: is an extreme example.

829
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,720
Speaker 3: We'll see what happens with Stanford Florida State will continue.

830
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 1: See what happens with the Dreaded Cardinal. But you know,

831
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 1: I thought this was a really interesting test for this defense,

832
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 1: and they were probably aided by the fact that there

833
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 1: was some weather to tamp things down. They definitely were

834
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,720
Speaker 1: able to confuse Jade Mayava put him in some interesting

835
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: situations where he had to make throws that I don't

836
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:14,359
Speaker 1: think he would have normally make. So I thought, as

837
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 1: a Notre Dame fan, my takeaway was, first off, whew,

838
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: that could have gone a different direction. Secondly, I come

839
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 1: away happy that they won, but at the same time

840
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,839
Speaker 1: feeling like this was a little bit of an uneven performance.

841
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 1: There were too many penalties, They gave up too much

842
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 1: defensively against a really good offense CJ. Carr in a

843
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:42,320
Speaker 1: big game like this does beg the question bigger games

844
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 1: moving forward, is he going to be this keyed up?

845
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: Is he going to get better? I sense he will,

846
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 1: but this was just not a great showing for him.

847
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:54,720
Speaker 1: And ultimately, you want to win, You win your clunker.

848
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 1: That's why I'm wearing win your clunker. I believe that

849
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 1: this was kind of a clunker, just didn't look like

850
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 1: it if you looked at the final scoreboard. So a

851
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:06,800
Speaker 1: nice win for sure, and I thought USC acquitted itself

852
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 1: really well all things considered. But this was I feel

853
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: that Dan, I really do that. I came away feeling

854
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:18,359
Speaker 1: pretty impressed by USC. But ultimately, what impressed me the most,

855
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 1: and what impressed everybody the most was three hundred yards

856
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 1: in the ground for Notre Dame.

857
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 3: Did asking your star receiver to throw a pass in

858
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 3: pouring rain and have him fumble the ball impress you.

859
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 1: No, I'm not talking about the coaching I am. I

860
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: am almost like separating out the coaching decisions from the

861
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 1: performances we saw out there, Like Jadamyova is not a

862
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:43,720
Speaker 1: perfect quarterback, but Jamiob is pretty good most teams across

863
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 1: college football. I think I think he's legit.

864
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 3: I think I think he's very very good. He's not

865
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 3: a perfect quarterback. He force throws. The play calling was

866
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 3: kind of all over the place for USC. Couldn't really

867
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 3: run the ball consistently. Now, obviously USC is down I

868
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,320
Speaker 3: think two starting offensive linemen, they're starting left tackle and center.

869
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:02,320
Speaker 3: They're down their first two running backs and Waymon Jordan

870
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 3: and Eli Sanders, and obviously King Miller was very good.

871
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 3: It was it Brian Jackson who stepped in as well.

872
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:11,880
Speaker 3: They have good players. The best of Mikaya Lemon and

873
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 3: Jakobe Lane is excellent. Lake McCree had a great touchdown catch.

874
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 3: I don't know if you thought his toe was down.

875
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 3: It looked like it was down to me early on.

876
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,240
Speaker 1: They just sort of panned it. They went through it.

877
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 1: It's like his toe was down, yeah, Okay, like it

878
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 1: was close, right, it was at least close, and everybody

879
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:30,720
Speaker 1: just sort of like went with it them. Okay.

880
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 3: There are definitely moments where CJ. Carr looked like a

881
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,879
Speaker 3: seven and five quarterback. There were definitely moments where Notre

882
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 3: Dame needed to get lucky to move beyond terrible kicking.

883
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:48,799
Speaker 3: It definitely looked like moments where Notre Dame desperately needed

884
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 3: Jadarium Price to return that kickoff or a touchdown because

885
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 3: the offense was sort of all over the place. I

886
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 3: wouldn't go as far as saying winning your clunkers, because

887
00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 3: when you have a running back just explode through a

888
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 3: defense like Jeremiah Love did, You're not cobbling together a

889
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 3: win with duct tape and chicken wire.

890
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,799
Speaker 1: Now listen. So the ground game was there for them

891
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 1: all day, Yeah, all day, and they were the dominant

892
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 1: team in the trenches. Okay, So this could just be

893
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 1: me catastrophizing a little bit as somebody who follows this

894
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 1: team and is always terrified of best football game. I'll

895
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 1: admit it, Okay. I talked about it on the preview episodes.

896
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 1: You know how I feel about this USC rivalry. USC

897
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:33,400
Speaker 1: always gives Notre Dame a game is always going to

898
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 1: be a tight game for as long as they play

899
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 1: the rivalry. They had it on the ground. They obviously

900
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 1: took advantage of that.

901
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 3: Made plays on defense.

902
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 1: They did make plays on defense.

903
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, speed up just like us.

904
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:46,400
Speaker 4: He is.

905
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 1: There were also other elements of the defense that that

906
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 1: definitely left me a bit underwhelmed. But at the end

907
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:55,840
Speaker 1: of the day, despite the fact that Christian Gray got

908
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:58,399
Speaker 1: like five pass interference calls in this game or whatever

909
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 1: the hell it was, he did two interceptions. Yeah, ok right, Yeah,

910
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 1: so it's it's sort of, as I say, it's a

911
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:08,319
Speaker 1: little bit uneven to me how I feel coming out

912
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 1: of this win. But ultimately you will take it because

913
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:13,400
Speaker 1: what I think we're going to find on the USC

914
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: front moving forward. Notre Dame doesn't have a whole lot

915
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 1: left on their schedule. Yeah, but USC has a road

916
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:23,319
Speaker 1: game against Nebraska coming up. They've got a road game

917
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 1: against Oregon coming up. They close out the year against

918
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 1: the behemoth that is the UCLA Bruins. Right, where's that

919
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 1: game being played? Obviously it's in Los Angeles, but it's

920
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,359
Speaker 1: the stadium. I don't have it here. Okay, I'll look

921
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 1: it up while you're look it up. But my point

922
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 1: is that just because USC loses a game like this,

923
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:44,799
Speaker 1: we should not count them out. We should not count

924
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 1: them out. I don't know what the upward mobility looks

925
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 1: like at this point. I don't know what they're going

926
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 1: to end up ranked, but I think this is a

927
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 1: damn good team. They've only got two losses now, and

928
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:57,839
Speaker 1: they've got a schedule in front of them that puts

929
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 1: them in some interesting situations. I'm not overly confident about

930
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:04,840
Speaker 1: that Oregon game, second flast game of the year, but

931
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 1: I think they've got the offense to go toe to

932
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 1: toe with just about anybody, and when you've got that,

933
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 1: almost anything can happen. So I came away very impressed

934
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:16,400
Speaker 1: with USC, not always with the coaching. I came away

935
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:19,319
Speaker 1: impressed with how Notre Dame used its ground game to

936
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 1: its advantage, though there were other aspects of their overall

937
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:25,839
Speaker 1: play that definitely let me left me a bit down.

938
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 3: Remember, you cannot count USC out until they arrive at

939
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 3: Lax to check in at that point, Okay.

940
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:37,400
Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on.

941
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:39,880
Speaker 3: How they've been on the road under Lincoln Riley.

942
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 1: I get it, how they've been I get it. Okay,

943
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,239
Speaker 1: just making sure I get it. Wait until they get

944
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 1: to Lax.

945
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 3: Wait until they buy some peanut M and m's not

946
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:50,760
Speaker 3: a sponsor, could be in the Hudson News.

947
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 1: I get it. And then you count them out. Continue.

948
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Georgia Tech Duke game. The Georgia

949
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 1: Tech Duke game was very quietly one of the biggest

950
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 1: games of Week eight. Agree it did not get top

951
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: billing because there were so many other bigger matchups that

952
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 1: were out there. I was fascinated by this matchup coming

953
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 1: into it. We both looked at the points spread. Duke

954
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 1: was favored by three. I believe we both took Duke.

955
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 1: Did we not?

956
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 3: I know I did. You may have been Georgia Tech

957
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:25,319
Speaker 3: leaning and I brought you to the wrong side of

958
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:25,800
Speaker 3: the aisle.

959
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:28,839
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean Georgia Tech won this one

960
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 1: twenty seven to eighteen. And I thought that several things

961
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 1: were true at once. The first was that Georgia Tech

962
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:39,239
Speaker 1: to me looked fairly balanced on offense. They were very

963
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:43,359
Speaker 1: aggressive on defense, but fairly balanced on offense. And by

964
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 1: that I mean that they kept using Haynes King like

965
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:47,880
Speaker 1: they always do, and Duke didn't really have an answer

966
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: for him, especially on the ground. Georgia Tech was very

967
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 1: good at using their best player on the On the

968
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:59,319
Speaker 1: flip side of things, Duke also kind of beat itself right.

969
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:02,160
Speaker 1: They gave up a ninety five yard scoop and score early.

970
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:05,399
Speaker 1: They botched a hold on a field goal. I saw

971
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,359
Speaker 1: the stats somewhere that they held a two hundred and

972
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:11,880
Speaker 1: thirty eight to one hundred and ten yard advantage in

973
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 1: the first half. This was a game that actually was

974
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:20,400
Speaker 1: there for Duke, and they kept shooting themselves in the

975
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 1: foot they were not able to convert. This is not

976
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,399
Speaker 1: to say they would have won if all of those

977
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 1: things went in their direction, but this is to say

978
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 1: that Duke is better then maybe this final score would

979
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,319
Speaker 1: indicate and is definitely going to be a hard out

980
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 1: for the remainder of their schedule, but ultimately a very

981
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 1: nice win for Georgia Tech. You know, I think you

982
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 1: and I are both of the mind that Tech's probably

983
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 1: got another l in them somewhere along the way.

984
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 3: Maybe, Yeah, this would have been one I considered to

985
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 3: be pretty dangerous.

986
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:54,360
Speaker 1: But you know, they keep finding ways to scrap it together.

987
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 1: They keep finding ways to get these wins. They're not

988
00:52:57,280 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 1: always pretty. But what's your big rule about being pretty

989
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 1: in football? I don't know, I have so many rules. Well,

990
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 1: you don't got to be pretty. You just need it,

991
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 1: don't You just needed to work so Georgia Tech now

992
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 1: seven and zero four to Oho in the ACC on

993
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 1: a Tuesday episode, maybe we can talk through a little

994
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 1: bit more about what their path looks like moving forward.

995
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it's I got it in front of me.

996
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:26,279
Speaker 1: It's Syracuse, NC State, Boston College and Pitt before the

997
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 1: rivalry against Georgia to close out the year. So it's

998
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 1: very much there for Georgia Tech. The other thing that

999
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:40,479
Speaker 1: I mentioned on the duke side, yeah, Darien Mensa three

1000
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:44,040
Speaker 1: seventy three in a losing effort, dam.

1001
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 3: Cooper Barkae Harvard Transfer also nearly two hundred yards receiving

1002
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:52,960
Speaker 3: for for duke here. No, the actual takeaway was this

1003
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:56,399
Speaker 3: is more of the better of Georgia Tech that we've

1004
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 3: seen this year, right. Haines King is balanced, you know,

1005
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 3: on the ground, through the area, was very fishing. Through

1006
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 3: the air, ran really well, had a ton of open lanes.

1007
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:07,160
Speaker 3: The Georgia Tech defense, even though they gave up the

1008
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:10,800
Speaker 3: yardage that they did, it was sort of a terrific

1009
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 3: study in ben but don't break. They got off the field,

1010
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:15,279
Speaker 3: they forced field goals, They allowed ten points I think

1011
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:18,360
Speaker 3: until like the very end of this game. And so

1012
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 3: that's a really nice step forward when you consider where

1013
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 3: Georgia Tech was last year a couple of years ago,

1014
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:26,799
Speaker 3: that against this type of offense, that they'll give up

1015
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:29,799
Speaker 3: some grass, but they didn't give up the points here

1016
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 3: and that's it's an extremely positive step, especially considering they

1017
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 3: replaced their defensive coordinator in the offseason. Really nice step

1018
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:39,279
Speaker 3: forward for the Georgia Tech defense and a dangerous spot

1019
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 3: on the road.

1020
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 1: And let's finish off this segment with the Holy War

1021
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:48,239
Speaker 1: Dan Place BYU wins twenty four to twenty one. You

1022
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 1: and I talked about this one a little bit before

1023
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 1: we hit go tonight, and look, Utah moved the ball

1024
00:54:55,640 --> 00:55:00,840
Speaker 1: on BYU. Utah had its opportunities, but one out of

1025
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 1: five on fourth down conversions. Utah got some really big

1026
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:08,960
Speaker 1: stops when they needed them most, and that was ultimately

1027
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 1: what helped spring them to victory. It wasn't just that

1028
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:15,920
Speaker 1: they didn't have as many turnovers. They didn't have nearly

1029
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 1: as many penalties. I compared it when you and I

1030
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 1: spoke about BYU hitting irons off the tee, just hit

1031
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 1: the center of the fairway, hit the green, take your

1032
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:30,280
Speaker 1: par and move to the next hole. There is nothing

1033
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 1: super flashy about BYU. But again, they kind of know

1034
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 1: what they are. Yeah, and their whole ethos is built

1035
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 1: around doing whatever they need to do to win. If

1036
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:43,359
Speaker 1: you're looking at BYU trying to figure out are they

1037
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 1: an air raid team, are they a spread team? They

1038
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:49,359
Speaker 1: are like the most multiple of multiple teams out there.

1039
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:53,080
Speaker 1: They will do whatever they have to. It doesn't look sexy.

1040
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:56,360
Speaker 1: It rarely, if ever looks sexy. But a game like

1041
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:59,399
Speaker 1: this I think is testament to what Kalani Sataki has

1042
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:03,719
Speaker 1: built at BYU. And you can't really look at the

1043
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:06,239
Speaker 1: box score and try to get an understanding for what

1044
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:09,719
Speaker 1: BYU is supposed to be because the box score is

1045
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 1: gonna deceive you. They just sort of are this team

1046
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:14,359
Speaker 1: that finds a way to get it done. They will

1047
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:16,719
Speaker 1: do whatever it takes, and they kind of don't care

1048
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 1: how it looks.

1049
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 3: I agree, And it was another situation similar to you know,

1050
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:26,319
Speaker 3: maybe on not on that kind of stage nationally, just

1051
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 3: because the Holy War is an emotional stage within the

1052
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:30,840
Speaker 3: Big twelve, but doesn't get the national attention of a

1053
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:35,840
Speaker 3: game like you know, Georgia Ole miss Necessarily. BYU finished strong.

1054
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 1: LJ.

1055
00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:39,799
Speaker 3: Martin ran really well in that fourth quarter, like they

1056
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:42,600
Speaker 3: were buttoned up. Where if you're gonna sort of look

1057
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:45,359
Speaker 3: at where Utah had opportunities and where they weren't able

1058
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:48,800
Speaker 3: to take advantage, it's they were driving deep into BYU territory.

1059
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 3: They just were stopped on fourth down. If you want

1060
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:54,440
Speaker 3: to say anything, BYU just got off. They were the

1061
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:58,319
Speaker 3: kings of getting off. I know that's your phrase. Yeah,

1062
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:02,319
Speaker 3: but I guess yes it's appropriate here for BYU. Right,

1063
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:04,879
Speaker 3: it's it's been but don't break again. We talked about

1064
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:07,279
Speaker 3: it with Georgia Tech and Duke. But BYU did a

1065
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 3: really nice job. Situationally, Utah was just sloppier and a

1066
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 3: big emotional spot on the road and BYU got it done.

1067
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 1: Was great, It really was. And this to me, and

1068
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'm going to get a little bit of

1069
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 1: pushback on this one, but this was the second straight

1070
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 1: big game in which I saw Devin Dampier and I

1071
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 1: sent you a message saying, hey, it looks like a

1072
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 1: New Mexico quarterback.

1073
00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 3: There are times where he definitely looks it looks.

1074
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 1: Like it looks like a mid tier Mountain West quarterback. Yeah,

1075
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 1: I'm still not impressed with Devin Dampier. Well, not on

1076
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:48,960
Speaker 1: the ground, he's all right, But just the totality of

1077
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 1: the Devon dam Pier experience to me is very underwhelming.

1078
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 3: Was he one of those quarterbacks that before the season

1079
00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:56,680
Speaker 3: you were like, I watched an hour and a half

1080
00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:59,919
Speaker 3: of Cols and I'm all, that was just Mark Gronowski.

1081
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:02,800
Speaker 1: Arkronowski for like one hundred and fifty yards in a

1082
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:03,800
Speaker 1: way and against Penn State.

1083
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 3: But that's true. Don't look at throwing numbers as passes.

1084
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 1: It's late. I don't want to put people to sleep

1085
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:14,040
Speaker 1: more than they are, right, But there is something about

1086
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 1: the Devn dan Pier experience to me that is, like

1087
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:20,600
Speaker 1: I said, just it's I'm not into it. Devin dan

1088
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 1: Pierre is a friend Tim Murray's guy. He was all

1089
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:24,720
Speaker 1: in on Devon dan Pierre. It's like a dark horse

1090
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:30,040
Speaker 1: Heisman contender. Maybe a bit premature piece to what I've

1091
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 1: seen so far.

1092
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:32,960
Speaker 3: I think he was just talking about value value.

1093
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 1: No, no, no, again.

1094
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 3: Look, we're a week away, a week removed from Utah

1095
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 3: absolutely demolishing Arizona State, who's now the bell of the

1096
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 3: big twelve ball. I don't know, we can still put

1097
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:46,720
Speaker 3: some respect on Utah's name.

1098
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:52,600
Speaker 1: We can. I'm just underwhelmed. I don't know. Underwhelmed is

1099
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:55,240
Speaker 1: the word that I keep coming back to. Fair enough,

1100
00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 1: give me some other quick hits things around college football.

1101
00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 1: That jumped out to you as sort of like an

1102
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 1: honorable mention here before we get to reverbs. Honorable mention.

1103
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:08,920
Speaker 3: Uh, Nebraska got shelled by Minnesota.

1104
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:11,080
Speaker 1: That was Friday night as well, Right, that was a

1105
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 1: Friday night game.

1106
00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, amid I guess Matt rule conversations and he goes

1107
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 3: on Matt pat McAfee to discuss the Penn State job.

1108
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:20,800
Speaker 1: Here here are the facts. We did get a lefty throw,

1109
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 1: by the way, do you remember you?

1110
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:26,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got a lefty throw, and we also got

1111
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:30,880
Speaker 3: a Dylan Royola like dive forward flip it to a

1112
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:32,080
Speaker 3: receiver successful.

1113
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:33,520
Speaker 1: You know, the receiver got hit hard.

1114
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:40,680
Speaker 3: The combination of Nebraska's offensive line, Minnesota's pass rush hasn't

1115
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 3: really been much this year, and Dylan Rayola finding himself

1116
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 3: sort of in a fun house behind the offensive line

1117
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:49,920
Speaker 3: and when he has to step into the pocket and

1118
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 3: navigate the pocket. It was a nightmare for Nebraska in Minneapolis,

1119
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 3: their second straight road game. They sneak by Marylyn the

1120
00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:03,280
Speaker 3: week before. They just they looked lost they looked uninspired.

1121
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:07,080
Speaker 3: Dylan Riola could not find open receivers. Maybe they weren't there.

1122
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:10,240
Speaker 3: I don't put it all on the offensive line. I

1123
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:12,400
Speaker 3: put a chunk of it on the offensive line, of course.

1124
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 1: I mean he was sacked nine times. So some of

1125
01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 1: that nine times, which is a lot of time, that's

1126
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:18,200
Speaker 1: a lot of times. Some of them.

1127
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:20,400
Speaker 3: Did he did hold onto the ball a long time

1128
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 3: at times.

1129
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:23,640
Speaker 1: Some of that blame does go to the offensive line, which,

1130
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:26,320
Speaker 1: by the way, they had one offensive lineman who had

1131
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:28,440
Speaker 1: to go to the hospital and then they had another

1132
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:30,640
Speaker 1: ejected for targeting, which you don't see in that game.

1133
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 3: You don't see a lot of left tacks. Don't see

1134
01:00:32,640 --> 01:00:36,800
Speaker 3: that for targeting. But alas, but here we are, and

1135
01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:40,200
Speaker 3: it's a long season. Nebraska has time to redeem itself.

1136
01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 3: That's a tough one too, you know, traveling to Maryland again,

1137
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 3: it's a pretty good defense at Maryland and taking on

1138
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 3: Minnesota short week, but man, Nebraska's offense.

1139
01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:56,880
Speaker 1: Who I The comment that I made to you is

1140
01:00:56,920 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 1: that Dylan Roola is playing like a guy who once

1141
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:06,919
Speaker 1: to get drafted by dude perfect. Yeah, that's the kind

1142
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:10,440
Speaker 1: of game that Dylan Royola plays. Obviously, very talented, But

1143
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 1: I feel like somewhere lost amid all of the trick

1144
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 1: shot highlights is the fact that either he doesn't have

1145
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:26,200
Speaker 1: time to throw down the field, or the offense, the

1146
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:31,480
Speaker 1: Dana Holgerson offense is not either scheming receivers open or

1147
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:34,080
Speaker 1: even asking him to throw that much down the field.

1148
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:37,200
Speaker 1: It's a lot of short stuff, which is all fine,

1149
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:41,600
Speaker 1: and that's fine, that can be fine, right, but even okay, continue, Sorry,

1150
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:45,120
Speaker 1: I just I I like him a lot more than

1151
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 1: you do, and that's always been the case, and I

1152
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:50,480
Speaker 1: think he is in a situation right now, certainly with

1153
01:01:50,520 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 1: this offensive line that is going to skew things one

1154
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:56,439
Speaker 1: way or the other against him. All Right, people will

1155
01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 1: see Dylan Royola and they will feel on some level

1156
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:01,959
Speaker 1: under when he goes up against the team that's able

1157
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 1: to take advantage of that line. I still think he's

1158
01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 1: got a ton of talent. I still think he's going

1159
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:09,080
Speaker 1: to end up being very good.

1160
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 3: Buddy Northampton High School could take advantage of the Nebraska

1161
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:13,600
Speaker 3: offense line.

1162
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 1: But it is games like this that do make me

1163
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 1: wonder if this is if this is more about highlights

1164
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:26,280
Speaker 1: with Dylan Royola versus the total package.

1165
01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 3: Sure, look it's not all on him. It's not all

1166
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:31,320
Speaker 3: on the offensive line. It's not on Daniel Holgerson, it's

1167
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:34,040
Speaker 3: not on receive. It's a combination. It's a cocktail of

1168
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:37,200
Speaker 3: offensive incompetence. And I guess that's who Penn State wants,

1169
01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:37,919
Speaker 3: is their head coach.

1170
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:42,000
Speaker 1: Okay, so separate conversation on the other side of the

1171
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 1: field though, because I couldn't help, but sort of one.

1172
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:47,960
Speaker 3: Darius Taylor was very good, had a long run early on.

1173
01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:52,760
Speaker 3: Good to see him healthier. Drake Lindsay. The Minnesota offensive

1174
01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:56,760
Speaker 3: line wasn't incredible, but he was quick. The offense was

1175
01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:58,720
Speaker 3: called for him to take a couple of steps and

1176
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:02,480
Speaker 3: throw it off. Was called for quick stuff, get the

1177
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:05,560
Speaker 3: ball out of his hands, make plays, keep the chains moving.

1178
01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:09,160
Speaker 3: And it just seem like there is a communication issue

1179
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:12,680
Speaker 3: with Nebraska in their attempts to do that. And I

1180
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:14,960
Speaker 3: do chuckle when you allude to the fact that you

1181
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:18,919
Speaker 3: think Dylan Royle is destiny he was born to throw

1182
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:21,840
Speaker 3: a football off the top of the bers Khalifa.

1183
01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 1: I mean that could be it. That that could be

1184
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:30,080
Speaker 1: the I would watch it, to be clear, I watch it, Yeah,

1185
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:34,960
Speaker 1: I would. But by the way, the sidebar like this

1186
01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:36,760
Speaker 1: that make me wonder if he's cut out more for

1187
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:40,280
Speaker 1: YouTube than the NFL, do you.

1188
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:42,440
Speaker 3: I mean, I've watched a lot of text A and

1189
01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:44,200
Speaker 3: M football this season, and I guess you have too,

1190
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:46,080
Speaker 3: because they played Notre Dame and a couple of other

1191
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:50,520
Speaker 3: big games. Dude perfect is prominently featured in Texas A

1192
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:54,800
Speaker 3: and M as an academic institution. I know they're commercials.

1193
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:57,400
Speaker 1: I know there. I know they are. I don't know.

1194
01:03:57,640 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 1: Weird decision to make but one hundred and thirtieth air

1195
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:03,480
Speaker 1: yards per target for those who playing long at home.

1196
01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:06,120
Speaker 3: But anyway, that's okay. But you got to make it's.

1197
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 3: Got to make a work, got.

1198
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:09,560
Speaker 1: To make it work. What else? What else? When talk

1199
01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:14,120
Speaker 1: about Texas going ot against Kentucky, I don't think so.

1200
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:19,400
Speaker 3: Okay, I didn't watch a ton of this game, so

1201
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:21,440
Speaker 3: I'm not going to front for the for bawlers and

1202
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:23,320
Speaker 3: pretend like I did. I watched the end of the

1203
01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:25,880
Speaker 3: game because it seemed closer than it should have been. Yeah,

1204
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:29,200
Speaker 3: and I came away very unimpressed. I will watch this

1205
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:32,000
Speaker 3: game either tomorrow or Monday morning, and I will have

1206
01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 3: additional thoughts. But when you show me a seven to

1207
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:40,520
Speaker 3: seven arch Manning doesn't seem to be completing passes intermediate

1208
01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:44,280
Speaker 3: or downfield against Kentucky and they need to kick a

1209
01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:47,080
Speaker 3: field goal to win. I'm just it's gonna lose my attention.

1210
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:53,560
Speaker 1: They rushed for forty seven yards and it's been sort

1211
01:04:53,560 --> 01:04:55,960
Speaker 1: of a continuing trend of them just you know, I mean,

1212
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:58,880
Speaker 1: at times they have run the ball okay, but it

1213
01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:01,680
Speaker 1: has not been a consistent rushing offense. You recall last

1214
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:04,960
Speaker 1: year they used that rushing offense to great effect down

1215
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:09,240
Speaker 1: the stretch. Especially that we haven't seen that with any

1216
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:14,720
Speaker 1: real consistency. And again, I'm not trying to like pile

1217
01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:18,240
Speaker 1: on arch Manning. Arch doesn't. He doesn't look good. He

1218
01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:20,920
Speaker 1: makes a couple of really good throws per game, sure

1219
01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:25,760
Speaker 1: that is undeniable, and you can see that he's got

1220
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:29,880
Speaker 1: those tools. That part is exciting, but more often than not,

1221
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:33,920
Speaker 1: it is snap the ball, run around a little bit

1222
01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:36,080
Speaker 1: behind the line, and you don't get the sense he

1223
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:41,360
Speaker 1: knows where to go at the ball, right, I don't know.

1224
01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:44,400
Speaker 1: I mean, this could end up being a gigantic whiff

1225
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:47,959
Speaker 1: when we do the post mortemon this season with where

1226
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:50,600
Speaker 1: things are out with arch Manning, and look, he's just

1227
01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:53,080
Speaker 1: kind of growing into being a full time starter, I guess,

1228
01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:54,880
Speaker 1: despite the fact that he's been in the program for

1229
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:58,160
Speaker 1: a few years. But I'm I don't know, man, it's

1230
01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:02,160
Speaker 1: getting laid early here and I'm still waiting for that

1231
01:06:02,480 --> 01:06:05,160
Speaker 1: significant moment where we're all going to be really impressed

1232
01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:10,920
Speaker 1: by Arch. And I'm twelve of twenty seven four point nine.

1233
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:14,680
Speaker 3: Sure maybe extenuating circumstances. I'm gonna watch this game closely

1234
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:15,960
Speaker 3: and I'll come to my conclusion.

1235
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:18,720
Speaker 1: Then I tell you what the this is. I don't

1236
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:22,040
Speaker 1: necessarily swear by the qbrs, but the QBR for Arch

1237
01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:25,000
Speaker 1: was twenty four point zero. You're gonna watch this game,

1238
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:27,080
Speaker 1: You're gonna mess with me tomorrow, and you're gonna say

1239
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:29,600
Speaker 1: that looked. That's what I imagined A twenty four point

1240
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:30,600
Speaker 1: zero is going to look like.

1241
01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:36,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, if your QBR is fewer digits than ties Age

1242
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:41,720
Speaker 3: in his mid forties, there's work to be done. Another

1243
01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:43,760
Speaker 3: game that I can't wait to watch more of. I

1244
01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:45,720
Speaker 3: watch some of and every time I turned it on,

1245
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:50,520
Speaker 3: there were fireworks and it was like watching two amazing

1246
01:06:50,640 --> 01:06:53,920
Speaker 3: NBA three point shooters vombit from twenty nine feet Texas

1247
01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:56,440
Speaker 3: A and m Arkansas Oh yeah, how does the team

1248
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 3: lose a game at home averaging nine yards per Carrie?

1249
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:02,720
Speaker 3: Great question. Can't wait to learn more, because every time

1250
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:04,800
Speaker 3: I flipped to this or looked up at it in

1251
01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:09,480
Speaker 3: a quad box recording this Saturday night, somebody was ripping

1252
01:07:09,520 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 3: off a seventeen yard game on either side of the field,

1253
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:14,560
Speaker 3: and so it was a terrific shootout. I think the

1254
01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:17,360
Speaker 3: final score was forty five to forty two. Marcel Reid

1255
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:20,280
Speaker 3: and Taylor Green put on an absolute show. Every time

1256
01:07:20,320 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 3: I looked up. It didn't seem like there was a

1257
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:24,040
Speaker 3: ton of tackling, it didn't seem like there was a

1258
01:07:24,080 --> 01:07:24,800
Speaker 3: ton of defense.

1259
01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:26,160
Speaker 1: Good for A and M.

1260
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:29,320
Speaker 3: We talked about this that I think you felt pretty

1261
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:30,520
Speaker 3: good about A and M.

1262
01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:34,360
Speaker 1: And then we both decided, like that saw plus the points, Oh.

1263
01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:36,720
Speaker 3: You like tarkatsas plus the points? Okay, I just I

1264
01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:40,480
Speaker 3: remember deciding that it's insane that anybody's gonna win this

1265
01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:42,680
Speaker 3: game in a sane way, because nobody ever does in

1266
01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:45,520
Speaker 3: this matchup now, especially we'll see now that it's away

1267
01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:48,560
Speaker 3: from Jerry World. But this one looks like it was

1268
01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:50,040
Speaker 3: a lot of fun every time I looked up.

1269
01:07:50,680 --> 01:07:53,520
Speaker 1: For sure. The other one that I don't want to

1270
01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:55,600
Speaker 1: make this all at the SEC, but you did mention

1271
01:07:55,680 --> 01:08:00,600
Speaker 1: the Auburn Mazoo game. Who I mean, I don't know

1272
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:03,760
Speaker 1: how many times Auburn's going to lose close game before

1273
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:05,280
Speaker 1: they just decided they got to get rid of Hugh

1274
01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:08,240
Speaker 1: Freeze all of the times. That's how they just they

1275
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:11,800
Speaker 1: just keep getting in close games and losing them. And

1276
01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:16,080
Speaker 1: I think the schedule lightens up a little bit the

1277
01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:18,519
Speaker 1: second half, but it's still not easy by any stretch,

1278
01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:21,760
Speaker 1: and it it certainly is not made easier by the

1279
01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:25,559
Speaker 1: fact that they find ways to just get into these

1280
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:29,080
Speaker 1: close games. They're good enough to be close enough, but

1281
01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:31,880
Speaker 1: they're not good enough to close and it's got to

1282
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:34,880
Speaker 1: be damn frustrating if you're an Auburn Tigers fan right now,

1283
01:08:35,120 --> 01:08:38,320
Speaker 1: like they were for I thought the vast majority of

1284
01:08:38,320 --> 01:08:40,880
Speaker 1: that game against Maszoo the better team, one of the

1285
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:43,280
Speaker 1: best interceptions of the day at the end, h yeah,

1286
01:08:43,320 --> 01:08:47,920
Speaker 1: and they look they had plenty of opportunities in the

1287
01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:51,080
Speaker 1: passing game. I don't think the box score is going

1288
01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:54,080
Speaker 1: to be truly reflective of the day that Jackson Arnold had.

1289
01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:56,040
Speaker 1: I thought Jackson Arnold actually looked pretty good.

1290
01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:59,000
Speaker 3: Made plays he did. He tried to make plays that

1291
01:08:59,080 --> 01:09:01,800
Speaker 3: other people let him him down, yes, during.

1292
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:05,240
Speaker 1: And he he should have had better numbers because he

1293
01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:07,800
Speaker 1: had Like just one example was cam Coleman down the

1294
01:09:07,840 --> 01:09:11,880
Speaker 1: left sideline dropped an absolute dime. I mean this was

1295
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:14,680
Speaker 1: in the bucket and he just dropped it. You know,

1296
01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:16,719
Speaker 1: it might have gone for like a sixty yard touchdown.

1297
01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:19,280
Speaker 1: I don't recall exactly how far it was, but plays

1298
01:09:19,320 --> 01:09:21,160
Speaker 1: like that, I thought Jackson Arnold had a pretty good

1299
01:09:21,160 --> 01:09:22,960
Speaker 1: command of the offense and what he was trying to do.

1300
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:26,559
Speaker 1: But again, they just they find a way to stall out.

1301
01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:30,280
Speaker 1: It was not a great showing in my estimation on

1302
01:09:30,320 --> 01:09:33,519
Speaker 1: the Miszoo side, but more to the point wearing the

1303
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:38,160
Speaker 1: clunker shirt, Auburn I think is still generally a pretty

1304
01:09:38,160 --> 01:09:40,120
Speaker 1: good team, even if the record doesn't reflect it, and

1305
01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:42,680
Speaker 1: even if they can't close, there's still a team that

1306
01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:44,160
Speaker 1: can be a pan the ass and beat you if

1307
01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:46,519
Speaker 1: you're not on your game, and Mazoo found a way

1308
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:47,120
Speaker 1: to get it done.

1309
01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:54,479
Speaker 3: Agree, it was just a very exciting Newsworthy day in

1310
01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:58,640
Speaker 3: the SEC. Florida one lights and Oklahoma.

1311
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:03,800
Speaker 1: Oklahoma's good. Oklahoma just sat on South Carolina's kind of

1312
01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:04,439
Speaker 1: what happened.

1313
01:10:04,280 --> 01:10:05,680
Speaker 3: Here was what Oklahoma came in as one of the

1314
01:10:05,720 --> 01:10:08,200
Speaker 3: worst rushing teams. They ran really well against South Carolina.

1315
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:09,880
Speaker 3: I think it was Tory Blaylock who led the way

1316
01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:13,040
Speaker 3: for Oklahoma on the grounds. That's a positive development for

1317
01:10:13,120 --> 01:10:16,559
Speaker 3: the Sooners South Carolina. I mean, take your pick of

1318
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:20,320
Speaker 3: the teams thrilled with other teams for having terrible offensive

1319
01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:24,920
Speaker 3: lines and so they're all sort of helping each other out.

1320
01:10:25,240 --> 01:10:29,240
Speaker 3: I just I feel bad for Lenora's sellers, Like I

1321
01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:31,640
Speaker 3: just watch him. I'm like, like, guys just going to

1322
01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:36,679
Speaker 3: be in a cold tub all week. Yeah, they're cooked.

1323
01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:39,840
Speaker 3: I don't know, really nice bounce back for Oklahoma on

1324
01:10:39,920 --> 01:10:42,840
Speaker 3: the road in a tough place to play and get

1325
01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:43,120
Speaker 3: the W.

1326
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:45,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna need to go through at some point and

1327
01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:48,240
Speaker 1: do a much deeper dive of what's going on in

1328
01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:50,120
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve because I think there's just like a

1329
01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:54,840
Speaker 1: million possible scenarios for where that conference could go. The

1330
01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:57,080
Speaker 1: two games that I wanted to call out real quick

1331
01:10:57,560 --> 01:10:59,559
Speaker 1: and then we're going to get to your reverbs, yeah,

1332
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:02,639
Speaker 1: and we're going to bring this thing home. The Michigan

1333
01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:06,280
Speaker 1: Washington game was one that was very interesting to me

1334
01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:08,439
Speaker 1: and I think I was a little bit higher on

1335
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:11,240
Speaker 1: Washington coming in because I was higher on Washington when

1336
01:11:11,240 --> 01:11:16,360
Speaker 1: we did previews. But this was a defensive display for Michigan.

1337
01:11:16,760 --> 01:11:20,800
Speaker 1: Like the offense wasn't always outstanding, but I thought what

1338
01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:24,160
Speaker 1: they did defensively against an offense that I thought was

1339
01:11:24,560 --> 01:11:29,880
Speaker 1: pretty good, that to me, was the most impressive thing

1340
01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:32,840
Speaker 1: that I saw come out of this matchup. I tried

1341
01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:35,160
Speaker 1: to explain to you, Washington doesn't win these games. I

1342
01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:37,840
Speaker 1: just tried. I don't win Big ten Road. I know,

1343
01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:42,040
Speaker 1: I know, I know, but like I just expected more.

1344
01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:45,840
Speaker 1: I like DeMont Williams. De Mont Williams throws three interceptions, right, and.

1345
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:47,560
Speaker 3: He couldn't do anything on the grounds. Michigan did a

1346
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:50,280
Speaker 3: really nice job. Couldn't do anything corralling the run game

1347
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:52,760
Speaker 3: on the ground. Jordan Marshall had a really nice day

1348
01:11:53,080 --> 01:11:55,639
Speaker 3: for Michigan on the ground. Bryce Underwood again like super

1349
01:11:55,640 --> 01:11:59,880
Speaker 3: efficient twenty one of twenty seven two thirty two touchdowns and.

1350
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:02,120
Speaker 1: That was without his two tight ends right, without a

1351
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:04,799
Speaker 1: sewo tight ends right, So they had backups there. Yeah.

1352
01:12:04,880 --> 01:12:07,799
Speaker 1: I just thought this was a very workman like effort

1353
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:12,439
Speaker 1: from Michigan. I came away feeling like Michigan is still

1354
01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:16,680
Speaker 1: very formidable and not to be overlooked the remainder of

1355
01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:19,920
Speaker 1: this Big Ten season. I think they're fine.

1356
01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:22,880
Speaker 3: I think we're a week removed from them getting absolutely

1357
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:25,720
Speaker 3: stomped by a walk on running back at USC, and

1358
01:12:25,840 --> 01:12:29,320
Speaker 3: USC's offense is fine. I just I don't think Washington

1359
01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:30,880
Speaker 3: is all that impressive on the road. I don't think

1360
01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:32,479
Speaker 3: there are a lot of ways for Washington to win.

1361
01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:34,280
Speaker 3: I think their defense is okay, but.

1362
01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:36,160
Speaker 1: They don't have a ton of talent up the middle.

1363
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:40,599
Speaker 3: And Michigan played at home. They have a good running game,

1364
01:12:40,960 --> 01:12:44,439
Speaker 3: they have a promising, talented quarterback, and they should have

1365
01:12:44,439 --> 01:12:47,360
Speaker 3: won that game and they did, and so good for Michigan.

1366
01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:52,120
Speaker 3: I just I think Michigan's still pretty raw and makes

1367
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:56,880
Speaker 3: weird decisions and Washington can be fun, but there's just

1368
01:12:56,920 --> 01:12:59,040
Speaker 3: not enough killers on this roster at this point, and

1369
01:12:59,200 --> 01:13:00,960
Speaker 3: Jedfish doesn't win game at Washington.

1370
01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:03,559
Speaker 1: My final honorable mention that we're gonna play your Week

1371
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:08,240
Speaker 1: eight reverbs. SMU beat Clemson thirty five twenty four. Yes

1372
01:13:08,360 --> 01:13:11,040
Speaker 1: Christmas in a game, Yeah, yeah, Christmas in a game.

1373
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:13,360
Speaker 1: Kate Klebnik was out. This was a rematch of the

1374
01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:17,960
Speaker 1: ACC title game from a year ago, it was a

1375
01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:22,320
Speaker 1: noticeable difference. I would say Clemson could not run the ball.

1376
01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:27,280
Speaker 1: They had thirty carries thirty five yards as a team,

1377
01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:34,000
Speaker 1: so that put even more stress on the ZENA. Jordan Hudson,

1378
01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:39,240
Speaker 1: your guy, yep. Really good for SMU in this matchup.

1379
01:13:40,160 --> 01:13:44,639
Speaker 1: Kevin Jennings certainly not perfect, but Kevin Jennings did enough

1380
01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:46,080
Speaker 1: to get the win for the Mustang. So this is

1381
01:13:46,120 --> 01:13:49,040
Speaker 1: a really nice win for them, even if Clemson is

1382
01:13:49,080 --> 01:13:50,880
Speaker 1: sort of down and out there three and four now.

1383
01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:54,519
Speaker 1: But I think, just in terms of symbolic wins for

1384
01:13:54,560 --> 01:13:58,160
Speaker 1: the SMU program, avenging that loss in the a SEC

1385
01:13:58,280 --> 01:13:59,840
Speaker 1: title game from a year ago, I was a very

1386
01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:03,000
Speaker 1: game for them a year ago, but avenging that loss,

1387
01:14:03,560 --> 01:14:07,000
Speaker 1: going on the road and getting the winning Memorial Stadium

1388
01:14:07,040 --> 01:14:07,799
Speaker 1: was pretty cool.

1389
01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:10,479
Speaker 3: Just a couple real quick before the Reverbs tie. I

1390
01:14:10,479 --> 01:14:13,720
Speaker 3: promise I'm gonna be quick. Ohio State just sort of

1391
01:14:13,840 --> 01:14:17,040
Speaker 3: stumped Wisconsin. Not a huge surprise there, but Julian saying

1392
01:14:17,160 --> 01:14:19,519
Speaker 3: is very quietly extremely efficient.

1393
01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:21,000
Speaker 1: Wisconsin is a pretty good defense.

1394
01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:26,800
Speaker 3: They have playmakers, and Ohio State just threw over around whatever.

1395
01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:29,760
Speaker 3: They're just a crazy efficient performance from Ohio State. As

1396
01:14:29,920 --> 01:14:33,080
Speaker 3: most shutouts are. Indiana was awesome against Michigan State. A

1397
01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:34,640
Speaker 3: little bit of a slow start, but they was a

1398
01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:38,479
Speaker 3: complete performance. Mendoza was great, and as soon as there

1399
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:40,800
Speaker 3: was a tiny bit of momentum for Indiana, it was

1400
01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:43,800
Speaker 3: just done. It was done for the Hoosiers. Super impressive

1401
01:14:44,280 --> 01:14:48,080
Speaker 3: from Indiana. Yukon beat Boston College, which.

1402
01:14:49,479 --> 01:14:51,840
Speaker 1: Man I was close to lock in a Yukon and

1403
01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:53,160
Speaker 1: that's a god's honest truth.

1404
01:14:54,920 --> 01:14:57,920
Speaker 3: TCU beats Baylor in that rivalry game and sort of

1405
01:14:58,040 --> 01:15:00,879
Speaker 3: was in control, but Baylor did a nice job storming

1406
01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:04,320
Speaker 3: back late, but a nice balanced performance from TCU. Noah

1407
01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:07,360
Speaker 3: Fafida was awesome. Connor Wigman was also awesome in that

1408
01:15:07,400 --> 01:15:10,080
Speaker 3: early game, and good for Houston for coming out on top.

1409
01:15:10,560 --> 01:15:13,960
Speaker 3: Arizona stormback to try to make it something, but Houston

1410
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:14,360
Speaker 3: held on.

1411
01:15:14,479 --> 01:15:15,000
Speaker 1: Good for them.

1412
01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:18,559
Speaker 3: Tou Lane, nice job beating Army in sort of an

1413
01:15:18,680 --> 01:15:22,360
Speaker 3: ugly starting game, but a rematch of the American Championship

1414
01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:26,000
Speaker 3: from last year. UCF runs away from West Virginia quietly

1415
01:15:26,160 --> 01:15:29,639
Speaker 3: gets their first big twelve win under Scott Frost once again,

1416
01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:34,240
Speaker 3: and I think that's how I was trying to convince

1417
01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:37,640
Speaker 3: you Boise State would score a ton of points and

1418
01:15:37,720 --> 01:15:39,280
Speaker 3: they did very much.

1419
01:15:39,320 --> 01:15:43,240
Speaker 1: Absolutely crap out of UNLV in that game. Everybody tried

1420
01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:43,680
Speaker 1: to warn me.

1421
01:15:44,040 --> 01:15:47,840
Speaker 3: Alonza Barnett was incredible for JMU as they beat a

1422
01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:51,360
Speaker 3: good old Dominion team and score sixty three in the process.

1423
01:15:51,880 --> 01:15:54,920
Speaker 3: Absolute dude, Alonza Barnett in that one. Great performance from

1424
01:15:54,960 --> 01:15:58,639
Speaker 3: North Texas stopping UTSA. North Texas very much for real.

1425
01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:04,640
Speaker 3: And your Penn State Nindee Lyons, Oh my god, you

1426
01:16:05,080 --> 01:16:07,320
Speaker 3: I mean, I know you're purposely not talking about this

1427
01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:10,760
Speaker 3: game because of the low quality television of it all.

1428
01:16:11,160 --> 01:16:13,040
Speaker 3: But a better news u CLA beat Maryland on the

1429
01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:14,360
Speaker 3: last second field goal and.

1430
01:16:14,320 --> 01:16:20,440
Speaker 1: They unstoppable, man to back to back. Check they're unfriggin stoppable.

1431
01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:24,639
Speaker 1: All right, got a bunch of calls on the reverb line,

1432
01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:29,400
Speaker 1: our guys, Shay cut these together. They are wonderful as

1433
01:16:29,439 --> 01:16:34,080
Speaker 1: always for the next two minutes and forty some odds seconds,

1434
01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:38,479
Speaker 1: train your ears on your week a reverbs.

1435
01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:42,800
Speaker 5: Nothing spoils the December three. Remember better than Minnesota Golden Golphers.

1436
01:16:43,080 --> 01:16:45,719
Speaker 5: Doctor Brett Beatlama last year and now you got Matt Ruhle,

1437
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:48,479
Speaker 5: you know, well, struggling on the road against a team

1438
01:16:48,520 --> 01:16:50,960
Speaker 5: that doesn't really do much anything well, might be on

1439
01:16:51,040 --> 01:16:55,439
Speaker 5: brand for that Penn State team out there. Dan si

1440
01:16:55,800 --> 01:16:58,600
Speaker 5: Is Phillips calling from Annapolis.

1441
01:16:57,760 --> 01:16:58,919
Speaker 4: Sean and San Diego.

1442
01:16:59,120 --> 01:17:02,320
Speaker 5: Hey this is Will and Hey this is Brandon from Dinkietown.

1443
01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:05,960
Speaker 5: I woke up this morning on my birthday celebrating a

1444
01:17:05,960 --> 01:17:10,360
Speaker 5: go for victory over the great Nebraska Cornhuskers preseason champs

1445
01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:11,640
Speaker 5: ten years is running.

1446
01:17:11,520 --> 01:17:16,799
Speaker 3: Carson Beck throwing four interceptions in one game to lose

1447
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:20,240
Speaker 3: his number two spot to Louisville.

1448
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:21,679
Speaker 2: What a gift?

1449
01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:22,839
Speaker 4: What a gift?

1450
01:17:23,120 --> 01:17:30,719
Speaker 1: Diy, Please, It's not Louisville. It's Louisville. Lou uh both old.

1451
01:17:30,640 --> 01:17:37,320
Speaker 4: Arts, Miami Hurricane more like Miami hurt Hurricane, Krusty Fielam approval.

1452
01:17:37,960 --> 01:17:40,320
Speaker 3: It's not just good, it's good enough.

1453
01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:41,639
Speaker 4: That's the gal football way.

1454
01:17:41,920 --> 01:17:48,680
Speaker 2: I'm watching pavi Amnia one Wild Brother in Nashville with

1455
01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:53,479
Speaker 2: Big Game James Franklin no longer coaching at least for now.

1456
01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:56,439
Speaker 1: Are we ready to talk about big game?

1457
01:17:56,960 --> 01:17:57,439
Speaker 5: Brian?

1458
01:17:58,040 --> 01:18:00,960
Speaker 1: Between Georgia Tack and Vanderbilt this year it is a

1459
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:04,400
Speaker 1: revenge of the Nerds, and all I gotta say is Georgia,

1460
01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:07,320
Speaker 1: We're coming for you. Go Jacket I think I would

1461
01:18:07,439 --> 01:18:11,880
Speaker 1: rather be tortured and waterboarded than ever watch a Mike

1462
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:12,679
Speaker 1: Schula offense.

1463
01:18:12,760 --> 01:18:17,479
Speaker 4: Again, there are somethings money can't buy. For everything else,

1464
01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:22,679
Speaker 4: there's Kenny Dillingham fork off. We're gonna have to start

1465
01:18:22,680 --> 01:18:23,840
Speaker 4: calling Mike Ylko the.

1466
01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:28,519
Speaker 5: Cheese because the Cheese stands alone last undefeated team.

1467
01:18:28,360 --> 01:18:29,040
Speaker 1: In the SEC.

1468
01:18:29,360 --> 01:18:33,599
Speaker 2: Baby gig your meg as a badger find just make

1469
01:18:33,680 --> 01:18:37,519
Speaker 2: it stuck and everybody loses in the top twenty five?

1470
01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:40,439
Speaker 1: Does that mean that Penn States back in it? Go grunky?

1471
01:18:40,720 --> 01:18:43,280
Speaker 4: Kind of wrap my head around the fact that Virginia

1472
01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:47,880
Speaker 4: is six and one and just one on a safety ty.

1473
01:18:47,920 --> 01:18:50,040
Speaker 2: You gotta stop living in the past. Iowa has an

1474
01:18:50,040 --> 01:18:52,479
Speaker 2: offense now, and nothing beats Kinnick at night.

1475
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:56,920
Speaker 4: I'm just here to say bench arch Fire, Kyle Flood,

1476
01:18:57,520 --> 01:19:01,560
Speaker 4: Iren Ots Hookham, horn baby five into.

1477
01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:04,840
Speaker 5: As soon as TI took Washington in the Michigan game,

1478
01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:07,519
Speaker 5: I'm heavy on them betting. Thanks for the payout, man,

1479
01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:08,640
Speaker 5: keep picking against us.

1480
01:19:08,680 --> 01:19:09,240
Speaker 1: I appreciate it.

1481
01:19:10,520 --> 01:19:12,120
Speaker 2: Oh, this is Richard Verbal.

1482
01:19:12,360 --> 01:19:15,240
Speaker 1: I'd like to say that, much like the Boise State Broncos,

1483
01:19:15,479 --> 01:19:18,200
Speaker 1: the report of my death was greatly exaggerated.

1484
01:19:18,680 --> 01:19:19,080
Speaker 5: Go Orange.

1485
01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:27,479
Speaker 1: COVID blue. Wowreat what a bat taking some arrows over here?

1486
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:27,760
Speaker 4: Man?

1487
01:19:28,160 --> 01:19:30,240
Speaker 3: That's yeah, that's Virginia, by the way, winning on a

1488
01:19:30,240 --> 01:19:32,960
Speaker 3: safety against Wazoo, who was in control of that game.

1489
01:19:33,080 --> 01:19:37,559
Speaker 1: The Virginia fis away chan mo, Hey why was Zuo's

1490
01:19:37,600 --> 01:19:40,519
Speaker 1: been feisty? Man, They've been fights, they've.

1491
01:19:40,360 --> 01:19:42,840
Speaker 3: Been realod and they've got a home and home with

1492
01:19:43,160 --> 01:19:45,840
Speaker 3: the Oregon State Beavers, who appear to be on the

1493
01:19:45,920 --> 01:19:48,360
Speaker 3: board at one in seven, one of eight whatever.

1494
01:19:48,400 --> 01:19:53,400
Speaker 1: They are now crazy, absolutely crazy, all right, before we

1495
01:19:54,040 --> 01:19:58,000
Speaker 1: get to our dood alerts. Yes, we've definitely had a

1496
01:19:58,040 --> 01:20:01,200
Speaker 1: few questions, more than a few questions that have come

1497
01:20:01,280 --> 01:20:03,880
Speaker 1: in as we're doing this. I knew this would be

1498
01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:06,760
Speaker 1: a question. I started this one in our little queue here.

1499
01:20:07,840 --> 01:20:10,080
Speaker 1: The question is how many coaches are going to get

1500
01:20:10,080 --> 01:20:15,960
Speaker 1: fired tomorrow? From Brian Man. First off, anybody who claims

1501
01:20:16,040 --> 01:20:19,840
Speaker 1: to know this is wrong. I think based on the

1502
01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:23,800
Speaker 1: fact that Florida one, we can count Billy Napier as

1503
01:20:23,880 --> 01:20:26,120
Speaker 1: at least playing out the remainder of the season. They're

1504
01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:27,720
Speaker 1: going into a bye week, this would have been the

1505
01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:30,720
Speaker 1: time to do it. I don't think you can make

1506
01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:33,120
Speaker 1: that move, even if he's a dead man walking. I

1507
01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:35,400
Speaker 1: don't think you could announce it publicly after a win,

1508
01:20:35,560 --> 01:20:37,960
Speaker 1: which just sort of a weird message. Buddy. I don't know, man,

1509
01:20:38,360 --> 01:20:42,880
Speaker 1: It's twenty twenty five. This is my opinion. Okay, I've

1510
01:20:42,960 --> 01:20:46,240
Speaker 1: been wrong many times before. You've heard as much on

1511
01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:48,719
Speaker 1: our reverbs. But I would find it hard to believe

1512
01:20:48,760 --> 01:20:52,680
Speaker 1: that he gets ousted. But there are certainly plenty of

1513
01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:56,439
Speaker 1: situations around college football that leave us wondering, Luke Fickle,

1514
01:20:56,880 --> 01:20:59,719
Speaker 1: might they make a move mid season after getting stomped

1515
01:20:59,760 --> 01:21:03,000
Speaker 1: by Ohio State thirty four to ZIP. That would not

1516
01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:08,080
Speaker 1: surprise me one iota. We got another situation at Auburn,

1517
01:21:08,120 --> 01:21:10,559
Speaker 1: another close game with Hugh Freeze. I think the buyout

1518
01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:13,000
Speaker 1: is somewhere in the neighborhood of fifteen million dollars. They

1519
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:15,519
Speaker 1: could probably afford that with what they've got in their pocket.

1520
01:21:16,400 --> 01:21:20,280
Speaker 1: That's another one that I think is really interesting. I

1521
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:24,280
Speaker 1: would probably go to those two first and branch out

1522
01:21:24,360 --> 01:21:27,519
Speaker 1: from there. But truly, nothing would surprise me at this point, because,

1523
01:21:27,520 --> 01:21:29,320
Speaker 1: as you said, it is twenty twenty five, and with

1524
01:21:29,439 --> 01:21:31,400
Speaker 1: what we saw happened to James Franklin, there are gonna

1525
01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:33,840
Speaker 1: be other schools that maybe want to get in the

1526
01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:36,840
Speaker 1: coaching carousel sooner than later, just to put their name

1527
01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:37,200
Speaker 1: out there.

1528
01:21:37,479 --> 01:21:39,719
Speaker 3: He was on game day, by the way, he was fine.

1529
01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:42,080
Speaker 3: He sort of stuck to his messaging.

1530
01:21:42,160 --> 01:21:44,759
Speaker 1: He was good. That was a softball interview.

1531
01:21:44,880 --> 01:21:48,160
Speaker 3: It was a softball pr like Nick Saban is going

1532
01:21:48,200 --> 01:21:49,759
Speaker 3: to hold a coach's feet to the fire.

1533
01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:52,920
Speaker 1: That was a yeah. And they have the same agent too, which,

1534
01:21:52,960 --> 01:21:56,640
Speaker 1: of course I'm sure to not factor into anything, but no,

1535
01:21:56,920 --> 01:22:01,000
Speaker 1: it was. I mean, I could probably give you a

1536
01:22:01,120 --> 01:22:06,040
Speaker 1: full thirty minute rant about the way things have gone

1537
01:22:06,080 --> 01:22:07,360
Speaker 1: on the PR side of things.

1538
01:22:07,439 --> 01:22:09,479
Speaker 3: Now I got nowhere to be. Let's make this show

1539
01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:10,200
Speaker 3: two and a half.

1540
01:22:10,080 --> 01:22:15,360
Speaker 1: Hours, ty. I mean, it's just the national media that

1541
01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:19,559
Speaker 1: on some level is responsible for perpetuating the big Game

1542
01:22:19,680 --> 01:22:21,640
Speaker 1: James thing. I mean, we've certainly made our share of

1543
01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:24,560
Speaker 1: jokes of it here, of course, but we are not

1544
01:22:24,680 --> 01:22:28,920
Speaker 1: nearly as prominent as places like College Game Day, Big

1545
01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:34,000
Speaker 1: Noon Saturday. Many of these places have been living off

1546
01:22:34,080 --> 01:22:36,880
Speaker 1: that narrative that James Franklin has had a really hard

1547
01:22:36,920 --> 01:22:40,160
Speaker 1: time in big games, and he has That part is

1548
01:22:40,240 --> 01:22:44,120
Speaker 1: not made up, but they have definitely pumped up that

1549
01:22:44,240 --> 01:22:48,400
Speaker 1: storyline and now they are sort of using it to

1550
01:22:48,479 --> 01:22:51,880
Speaker 1: their advantage to get the interview to talk about how

1551
01:22:51,920 --> 01:22:55,160
Speaker 1: it's unfair to talk about how you know the coaching,

1552
01:22:55,240 --> 01:22:57,320
Speaker 1: and you've got Nick Saban up there talking about how

1553
01:22:58,040 --> 01:22:59,600
Speaker 1: you know everything has gone sideways.

1554
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:00,400
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1555
01:23:00,479 --> 01:23:02,439
Speaker 1: It just seems like they're talking out of both sides

1556
01:23:02,439 --> 01:23:05,360
Speaker 1: of their mouth, and I'm not going to act like

1557
01:23:05,400 --> 01:23:07,639
Speaker 1: I have a problem with it. It makes for interesting content,

1558
01:23:07,720 --> 01:23:10,519
Speaker 1: to say the least, But to get James Franklin up

1559
01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:15,200
Speaker 1: there and not have anybody ask him a real question about, well,

1560
01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:17,840
Speaker 1: you had all the facilities, you had all the money

1561
01:23:18,040 --> 01:23:21,400
Speaker 1: to go out and buy players, the best coaches that

1562
01:23:21,479 --> 01:23:24,479
Speaker 1: were on the market, to not at least examine that

1563
01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:27,720
Speaker 1: side of it and try to understand, like, you know,

1564
01:23:27,840 --> 01:23:31,600
Speaker 1: do you take accountability for this or I don't know.

1565
01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:33,920
Speaker 1: I didn't hear much of that. This to me looked

1566
01:23:33,960 --> 01:23:36,200
Speaker 1: like more of a pr campaign than an actual interview.

1567
01:23:36,360 --> 01:23:38,720
Speaker 1: So not that I'm looking for the guy to be

1568
01:23:38,840 --> 01:23:42,120
Speaker 1: humiliated anything more than he already has on national TV.

1569
01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:44,240
Speaker 1: Like I'm sure it is hard for him. I believe

1570
01:23:44,320 --> 01:23:47,280
Speaker 1: him right for that, But that was not a real interview.

1571
01:23:48,520 --> 01:23:51,520
Speaker 3: No, but that also wasn't going to be the platform

1572
01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:54,960
Speaker 3: for That's not an intimate place to really reflect on anything.

1573
01:23:55,200 --> 01:23:57,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe that wasn't necessarily the platform for it. I

1574
01:23:57,720 --> 01:24:00,439
Speaker 1: understand that, But there wasn't a real que question that

1575
01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:03,160
Speaker 1: was asked to him other than when Rhys Davis said, Hey,

1576
01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:05,200
Speaker 1: where did this come off to Swivel? You know, have

1577
01:24:05,320 --> 01:24:09,320
Speaker 1: you given any reflection to why things went the way

1578
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:11,800
Speaker 1: they did over the last three games for you? And

1579
01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:14,040
Speaker 1: that was the most honest answer we heard, which was

1580
01:24:14,200 --> 01:24:17,400
Speaker 1: him saying, honestly, I don't know. I don't know if

1581
01:24:18,560 --> 01:24:19,120
Speaker 1: which is fine.

1582
01:24:19,240 --> 01:24:22,960
Speaker 3: And now we know that the expectation for the new

1583
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:25,599
Speaker 3: Penn State head coach is to win a national championship

1584
01:24:25,640 --> 01:24:27,960
Speaker 3: and anything less than that is unacceptable.

1585
01:24:29,520 --> 01:24:32,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. It'll be interesting to see where things

1586
01:24:32,439 --> 01:24:35,639
Speaker 1: go on the coaching side, for sure moving forward, because

1587
01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:41,479
Speaker 1: I think that's probably going to be a storyline that

1588
01:24:42,200 --> 01:24:47,960
Speaker 1: only intensifies the rest of the way. Sure, Dan Rubinstein,

1589
01:24:48,040 --> 01:24:49,720
Speaker 1: let's get to our duod alerts. If you're cool with that,

1590
01:24:50,000 --> 01:24:52,760
Speaker 1: I'm ready. It is time to pay sweet homage to

1591
01:24:52,800 --> 01:24:58,439
Speaker 1: those who deserve it most. After Week eight, who do

1592
01:24:58,520 --> 01:24:59,479
Speaker 1: we got? All right?

1593
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:04,840
Speaker 3: Hey Ducker Temple, Monster Temple, huge performance against Charlotte, Dylan

1594
01:25:04,920 --> 01:25:07,840
Speaker 3: Riley at Boise State, which huge. Caleb Hawkins on the

1595
01:25:07,880 --> 01:25:11,200
Speaker 3: ground was huge for North Texas. How about Diago Pavia

1596
01:25:11,320 --> 01:25:14,200
Speaker 3: and mk Young combined for twenty two for one sixty

1597
01:25:14,240 --> 01:25:15,840
Speaker 3: eight and their win over Alis soon a very good

1598
01:25:15,920 --> 01:25:18,840
Speaker 3: LSU defense. I mentioned Tory Blaylock for Oklahoma was great

1599
01:25:18,880 --> 01:25:20,639
Speaker 3: on the ground. Jordan Marshall was great on the ground

1600
01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:24,080
Speaker 3: for Michigan. How about is it Joe Fagnano Fignano, I

1601
01:25:24,120 --> 01:25:26,639
Speaker 3: don't know how to pronounce it for Yukon his connection

1602
01:25:26,720 --> 01:25:29,720
Speaker 3: with Skyler Bell the Wisconsin transfer terrific In there went

1603
01:25:29,800 --> 01:25:32,240
Speaker 3: over BC, the combo of Isaac Brown and Chris Bell

1604
01:25:32,360 --> 01:25:35,240
Speaker 3: for Louisville in a winning effort, Darius Taylor on the ground,

1605
01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:39,439
Speaker 3: Jeremiah Love on the ground, Gunner Stockton doing everything, Haines

1606
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:42,920
Speaker 3: King and Malachi Hoseley for Georgia Tech doing everything, and

1607
01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:52,519
Speaker 3: the ultimate dude tie mister show hey time. Three home runs,

1608
01:25:52,920 --> 01:25:56,759
Speaker 3: one of which out of the park, six innings, no runs,

1609
01:25:57,360 --> 01:26:02,160
Speaker 3: ten strikeouts, best performance in Major League Baseball history.

1610
01:26:02,400 --> 01:26:04,880
Speaker 1: I mean pretty much, that was pretty wild. I gotta

1611
01:26:04,880 --> 01:26:07,240
Speaker 1: admit I saw that. When I woke up this morning,

1612
01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:08,479
Speaker 1: I was wait, what happened?

1613
01:26:08,520 --> 01:26:08,640
Speaker 5: Now?

1614
01:26:08,880 --> 01:26:11,040
Speaker 1: You gotta be kidding what's the calculus here?

1615
01:26:11,360 --> 01:26:15,200
Speaker 3: Incredible pitching performance and single handily beat the major league

1616
01:26:15,200 --> 01:26:17,240
Speaker 3: baseball team with the best record or the right Okay.

1617
01:26:17,920 --> 01:26:19,880
Speaker 1: That was pretty cool. That was something else. It's a

1618
01:26:19,960 --> 01:26:21,719
Speaker 1: shame all the good teams are out of the playoffs.

1619
01:26:21,800 --> 01:26:25,599
Speaker 1: But alas, I'm happy Oregon destroyed Rutgers. By the way,

1620
01:26:25,640 --> 01:26:27,800
Speaker 1: we didn't really mention that show Eotani's having a good

1621
01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:29,840
Speaker 1: outing here. It was like nine hundred yards of offense

1622
01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:33,080
Speaker 1: for Oregon against Rutgers. So look, obviously much more to

1649
01:27:50,360 --> 01:27:52,519
Speaker 1: the hard sell or anything like that. But I just

1650
01:27:52,760 --> 01:27:53,679
Speaker 1: want to get more votes.

1651
01:27:54,479 --> 01:27:59,880
Speaker 3: So nine minutes left clock is ticking Stanford up a

1652
01:28:00,120 --> 01:28:03,800
Speaker 3: touchdown with the ball twenty to thirteen against Florida State.

1653
01:28:03,920 --> 01:28:06,320
Speaker 3: What will this mean to anybody listening on demand after

1654
01:28:06,400 --> 01:28:09,240
Speaker 3: the fact, nothing or everything?

1655
01:28:09,880 --> 01:28:13,840
Speaker 1: And I mean the Mike Norvell question is I don't know.

1656
01:28:14,160 --> 01:28:18,240
Speaker 1: Supposedly they weren't having conversations behind the scenes about Norvelle. Yeah,

1657
01:28:18,960 --> 01:28:22,599
Speaker 1: but it was Stanford in the hinterland, so I don't know. Yep,

1658
01:28:23,760 --> 01:28:26,479
Speaker 1: that's tough. Why don't we leave it there again? Hit

1659
01:28:26,560 --> 01:28:28,880
Speaker 1: follow hit subscribes that you don't miss the episodes. We'll

1660
01:28:28,920 --> 01:28:32,479
Speaker 1: be back on Tuesday, trying to put a little bit

1661
01:28:32,600 --> 01:28:38,160
Speaker 1: more logic, trying to analyze all of this a little

1662
01:28:38,160 --> 01:28:40,679
Speaker 1: bit further as best we can talk through any games

1663
01:28:40,720 --> 01:28:42,920
Speaker 1: that we didn't get to. Of course, we'll reveal thatver

1664
01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:45,479
Speaker 1: Ball or Top twelve poll and give you an advanced

1665
01:28:45,520 --> 01:28:47,800
Speaker 1: look at week nine. By the way, when we do

1666
01:28:47,920 --> 01:28:51,120
Speaker 1: this episode next Saturday night, it's just going to be me.

1667
01:28:52,640 --> 01:28:54,680
Speaker 1: Is that what your plan is? That's a plan. You're

1668
01:28:54,720 --> 01:28:57,000
Speaker 1: going solo. I'm gonna go solo. I'm gonna give it

1669
01:28:57,000 --> 01:28:59,920
Speaker 1: a shot. I've never done that before. So for people

1670
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:03,280
Speaker 1: who are tuning in, apologies in advance if it looks

1671
01:29:03,320 --> 01:29:04,920
Speaker 1: and sounds a little bit different. But we're going to

1672
01:29:04,960 --> 01:29:06,640
Speaker 1: give it the old college try. Because you're going to

1673
01:29:06,680 --> 01:29:08,280
Speaker 1: be at a fall wedding. I am going to be

1674
01:29:08,320 --> 01:29:09,840
Speaker 1: at a fall wedding on the West Coast.

1675
01:29:11,040 --> 01:29:14,760
Speaker 3: I will submit either like a reverb or you I'll

1676
01:29:14,800 --> 01:29:17,160
Speaker 3: make a video for you that you can use as

1677
01:29:17,160 --> 01:29:19,880
Speaker 3: an intro video for the episode or something.

1678
01:29:20,640 --> 01:29:23,759
Speaker 1: But I want you in your suit, in your tops.

1679
01:29:23,920 --> 01:29:25,280
Speaker 1: Are you wearing a touch or is it a suit?

1680
01:29:25,320 --> 01:29:25,360
Speaker 2: No?

1681
01:29:25,439 --> 01:29:27,599
Speaker 3: No, no no, so it's cocktail attire preferred.

1682
01:29:27,720 --> 01:29:31,320
Speaker 1: Okay. I want you and your preferred cocktail attire. Thank

1683

Speaker 1: you at the venue creating a video there okay and

1684
01:29:37,320 --> 01:29:41,200
Speaker 1: just as organic as humanly possible. You got it done.

1685
01:29:41,720 --> 01:29:43,719
Speaker 1: For that guy over there, my good friend Dan Rubinstein,
