1
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: She remember a couple of weeks ago on Thursday night,

2
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: we had to keep with him on the show for

3
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: what airport was. It was actually the FW. We're tracking

4
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 1: his flight. He just landed at DFW. Anyone's guests whether

5
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: it makes back the show, we're jam packed, nevertheless, because

6
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: we're here that we got here in plenty of time.

7
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: Unfortunately he had to travel, but we were high top

8
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: a prepared downtown Nashville, Tennessee. Helene will not be a

9
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: hurricane by the time she makes her way to Middle Tennessee,

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: but she will be a depression. Hope everyone is safe

11
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: and hunker down down on the Florida coast, because this

12
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: is not the kind of hurricane that you joke about.

13
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 2: It's the kind of hurricane you take very, very very seriously.

14
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: We've got upset alerts all over college football. I've got

15
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: like what Jesse, six of them that I want to

16
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: talk to you about tonight. Of course, we've got a

17
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: really big game in Tuscaloosa this weekend. We're I'm driving

18
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: down there right after the show tonight. I got a

19
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: full day which I'll tell you a boy a little

20
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: bit later playing tomorrow. But aside from just Georgia and Alabama,

21
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: the whole big game thing in college football. How do

22
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: you feel about it? Chris Vanini, friend of the program,

23
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: said something earlier today about how big games feel a

24
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: little different now than they did back in the middle

25
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: two thousands or the middle nineties or the middle eighties.

26
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 2: Do you have some thoughts on that? Just think about it.

27
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: I'm not going to leave the show with it, just

28
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: kind of marinate on that. I do.

29
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: I do have some places that I want to go

30
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: with at I'm gonna talk to some Georgia Obama. We'll

31
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: get Kubrick on the show. We got a lot to

32
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: get to. Actually, we've got a really really jampacked show tonight.

33
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 1: They're watching us in Clarksville, Tennessee, Wellsville, Ohio, Detroit, Michigan,

34
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: and I was going to check in Hoover, Alabama, which

35
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: I just did. But also a late addition in the

36
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: chat Eatonville, Washington, proving the show is live. They submitted

37
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: it about a minute and a half before we went

38
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: on air. Thank you guys so much. Make sure you're

39
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: following on Instagram at late kick Josh. If you weren't

40
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: following last night, you missed me.

41
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: Swing a golf.

42
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: Club for the first time in I don't know, almost

43
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: my whole life. Maybe touched one a couple of times

44
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: before then, and Jesse, I would say it went pretty well.

45
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: Happy Birthday, producer, Jesse. We don't believe in birthdays around here,

46
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: per se, but we did celebrate his last night, even

47
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: though he doesn't technically exist. But also tomorrow I'll be

48
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: at Alabama Saturday, will be on the sidelines for Georgia Alabama.

49
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: The whole New Saturday tour dialed up by director Colins

50
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: just like that. So I'm going to get you a

51
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: lot of good behind the scenes stuff as usual. But

52
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: I have rumor now confirmed and I'll share it with

53
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: you later in the show tonight that we're doing some

54
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: pretty interesting things on campus down there tomorrow. You know,

55
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: I don't want to create a rush or a stampede

56
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: because it's not necessarily open to the public, but it

57
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: is happening, and then Friday Night Lines will happen tomorrow night.

58
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: So a lot of stuff happens on the YouTube channel,

59
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: but all that's happening on the Instagram feed in the

60
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: Instagram story at late kick Josh Okay, let's dive in

61
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: enough promotion hoops amongst us wants to listen to that

62
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: nonsense upset alert. My concern meter for a lot of

63
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: these favorites is to varying degrees, starting to peak a

64
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: little bit. I had a buddy just as we went

65
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: on air. He texted me and said, how is Illinois

66
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: such a big underdog against Penn State. Well, let's start

67
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: with that game. Illinois plays Penn State tomorrow. What is

68
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: the official language we have to use here? We can't

69
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: call it a wide out because, through some insane, insane

70
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: agreement that I was just made aware of today, Penn

71
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: State can only officially use the term whiteout once per year,

72
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: and somehow the NHL is involved.

73
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 2: Don't even get me started on it.

74
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: So Jesse tells me this is not a white out,

75
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: but then he winks at me and he says it

76
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: will have white out energy.

77
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: Just win the game. That's really all that matters.

78
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: You are about a seventeen and a half point favorite

79
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: at FanDuel right now. All right, So last year Illinois

80
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: quarterback Luke Altmeyer horrific in this game. Zero touchdowns, four interceptions.

81
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: They lost thirty to thirteen. Now this year that was bad, Luke.

82
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: This year we got good Luke, and he's seventy one

83
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: percent on completion so far this year, ten touchdowns, zero interceptions,

84
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: so Illinois actually plus seven turnover margin so far this year.

85
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: If we get that kind of game, certainly Penn State's

86
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: not covering this. That begs the question, do we get

87
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: this kind of game? I feel halfway decent about Penn State.

88
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: I don't feel wonderful about it. I do have it

89
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: about a six and a half on the concern scale,

90
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 1: one to ten on the upset alert meter because I

91
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: keep watching Illinois and Brett Beelam, and I keep saying

92
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: that may not be the best team in the country.

93
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 3: In fact, I'll.

94
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: Go as far as to say on this show tonight,

95
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: Illinois is not the number one team in the country,

96
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: but they're hard to beat.

97
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,239
Speaker 2: And thing about teams that are hard to beat.

98
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: Is you can't get margin on them, or it's hard

99
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: to get margin on them. So seventeen and a half,

100
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: not that this is a covers or not segment, we

101
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: do that later, we'll just say Penn State to lose outright,

102
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: I don't expect it, but it's a six and a

103
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: half just because I respect Brett that much. Next up,

104
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: this is when I'm low on candidly Ohio State. I

105
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: believe it's on the road. Actually, I believe they're a

106
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: on the road at Michigan State. So this one is

107
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 1: their first trip out on the road. We all know

108
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: how scary that is going on the road for the

109
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: first time. They're getting one or two wide receivers back

110
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: at Michigan State.

111
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 2: So there's that.

112
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: And of course, like I said, Ohio State's on the

113
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: road for the first time, and Aiden Child's when he's

114
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: at his best, can be really dangerous at quarterback, and

115
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: Ohio State's untested.

116
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: And then I.

117
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: Had one more bullet point here and it is two letters,

118
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: one word, and it just says no. And then there's

119
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: an underscore this is not happening. I'm not concerned about this.

120
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: And if you want to call this bulletin board material,

121
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: feel free to use it in East Lansing. You're not

122
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: beating Ohio State. So this, did you hear the Jersey accent?

123
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: You're not beating them. I've never even been.

124
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 2: To New Jersey.

125
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: I've never flown out of Newark, right, No, I haven't,

126
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: and I would have no other reason to be there

127
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: because Lance has never invited me to his house anyway.

128
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: I grew up in rural Georgia. But whether you're from

129
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: there or Hoboken, Ohio State's not beaten or not losing

130
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: to Michigan State. So this is a two on the

131
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: upset alert scale. I'm not concerned about it. I'd be

132
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: stunned if it happened next up. I have concerns South

133
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: Alabama is going to LSU. And on the surface, this

134
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: point spread is about what the Ohio State Michigan State

135
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: line is. It's within a couple of points of it.

136
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: So LSU's favored by a little over three touchdowns at

137
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: home against South Alabama. I know plenty of LSU fans.

138
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 1: I know plenty of folks associated with that program. You

139
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: may look at this from the outside and you may say, oh, oh,

140
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: I hope LSU's not overlooking South Alabama.

141
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 2: They're not. They're not.

142
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: No one feels comfortable about this game down there, nobody.

143
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: So what's the upset alert panic meter at A six?

144
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: A six, cause this could happen. This could happen. Now,

145
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: let me tell you what should happen. South Alabama's corners

146
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: should get toasted by LSU because that's where the glaring

147
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: mismatch is notice I said should, I don't know if

148
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen.

149
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 2: Here's what I do know.

150
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: South Alabama's running it for two thirty six per game,

151
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: and I watched South Carolina do just about that on

152
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: LSU a couple of weeks ago. And so if that

153
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,559
Speaker 1: game starts to tilt that way, you just lost Harold

154
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: Perkins for the season. For whatever that's worth in this game,

155
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: I just say it because it happened, and the game

156
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: starts to tilt, you know, if Alabama's in there, you

157
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: know you're getting everything LSU has. If South Alabama's in

158
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: there and they're running the ball on you and it's

159
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: a perceived inferior opponent, you have been in a stadium

160
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: before probably where you're just watching something that goes from

161
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: mildly problematic to genuinely frustrating to alarming, and it's all

162
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: that the opponent is running the ball on you, and

163
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: they keep doing it. And then for whatever reason, NUSS

164
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: is overthrowing receivers even though they're open. If that happens,

165
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: if you're minus two in the turnover battle, that's all

166
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: it takes. I've got a six. I am concerned here.

167
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: I need LSU to come through. I really need them

168
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: to put a complete game together. I mean Ucla hung

169
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: with them last week. They won, but Ucla hung with them.

170
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: So it's a six, a solid six there, just like

171
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: Pam and New York City she's an eight and Scranton

172
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: she's a six in the city. Well, this concerns me.

173
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: It's a six on the upset alert scale. Oklahoma State

174
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: at Kansas State. Now this is where the upset alert

175
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: scale is going to make no sense to the casual

176
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: because the casual looks at this and says, well, if

177
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: a twenty one and a half point dog has him

178
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: concerned at a six on the one to ten scale,

179
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: then certainly a five and a half point dog has

180
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,239
Speaker 1: him rattled. No, they don't. I've got the same concern

181
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: on this game. It's a six, and I'm gonna tell

182
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: you why, because Kansas State's one of my best bets

183
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: of the week. I laid the five and a half

184
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: earlier in the week. It's on the Raman Noodle Express

185
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: Best Bets. We're seeing the board really well. And look,

186
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: Alan Bowman, I will admit this. He got benched briefly.

187
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: The Oklahoma State quarterback he got benched briefly in his

188
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: last game.

189
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 2: He does have somewhere in his pocket.

190
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: You felt around in there for a key or a

191
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: spare tic tack before. Well, when Alan Bowman reaches in

192
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: his pocket, there is a game in there where it's

193
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: three touchdown, no picks, about forty five rushing, and he

194
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: throws for three point thirty eight, and he is player

195
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 1: of the game that's in there somewhere. Of course, him

196
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 1: getting benched again is also in there. You're reaching that pocket,

197
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: you better be careful immunity. So here's what I think.

198
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: What I think is Kansas State is fifteenth in rush

199
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: yards per game in Ohio. Oklahoma State's defense is one

200
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: hundred and seconds stopping it. I think they will control

201
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: this game on the ground. I think it'll feel a

202
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: little bit like the Arizona game that Kansas State played

203
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. Who knows, Maybe Alan Bowman

204
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: shuts me up, maybe olig, Maybe he finds explosive runs

205
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: which he hasn't found all year.

206
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 2: A lot of maybe's there. I don't think it's gonna happen.

207
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: I think Kansas State big bounce back week, and I

208
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 1: am not overly concerned Oh, by the way, the last

209
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: time this game was played in this building. I should

210
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: remember it because I was there. The line was three

211
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: and the final check me on this, but it was

212
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 1: something like forty nine to nothing. It was the worst

213
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: stop of our tour, through no fault of Kansas State.

214
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 2: People were great.

215
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 1: It's just it was the Sarah McLaughlin special and we

216
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: saw it in person.

217
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 2: That rarely happens.

218
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: Next up, Kentucky's at ole Miss and no one cares,

219
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: but maybe you should care. Ole Miss is laying seventeen

220
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: and a half at FanDuel right now. How concerned are

221
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: we here? On the surface, No one is because Kentucky

222
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: can't throw the ball, or so we think. I think

223
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: it along with you. And Ole Miss has shown no

224
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: reason for you to doubt them. They've played inferior opponents

225
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 1: and they've beat up on all of them exactly how

226
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 1: a good to great teams should do. So is it

227
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 1: fair that maybe if you doubted Ole Miss, you could

228
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: still have doubts? Sure, but I don't know any reason

229
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: to doubt them if you didn't already. And now we

230
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: finally get an opponent in here that the one thing

231
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: they can do is they can match them a little

232
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: more physically. None of these other teams Middle Tennessee, Wake, Georgia,

233
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: Southern One's had no one's had the caliber of athlete

234
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: or close to it that ole Miss has. Kentucky doesn't

235
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: match ole Miss athlete for athlete. They can compete. They

236
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: just did with Georgia a couple of weeks ago, so

237
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: they can compete at least. And they're coming in here

238
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: and we know they can't throw it, and it probably

239
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: look even if they are the first team that can

240
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: be physical with them, what do they do, Like if

241
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: ole Miss can't score early, what response does Kentucky have

242
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: If it's something we haven't seen so far this year,

243
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: they got one hundred and fifty two pass yards per game.

244
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: If they're at that mark at the half, well then great, great,

245
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna have to see it. So if they

246
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: can follow the Michigan script, for example, if Kentucky can

247
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: do to ole Miss what Michigan did to USC last

248
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: week and just run it and run it and run it,

249
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: even then you kind of got to thread the needle

250
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: because it's such a it's just low margin for aer

251
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 1: style of play. But if they can do that, great,

252
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: I am not totally sure it's there for four quarters.

253
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: So this is only a five on the concern scale

254
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: for me. Let's go to Orlando. I didn't know Big

255
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: noon kickoff was at this game, did not know that,

256
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: so furthest south. We will have seen Brady Quinn and

257
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: Matt Lioner and the boys in quite a while. This

258
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: is a three for me. So here's the scene. Colorado

259
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: is going to Central Florida. Colorado's off that miracle win

260
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: they had last week, and now they're going to UCF

261
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: and Shador gives you a shot in these games, and

262
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: UCF's pass d has been very vulnerable.

263
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 2: We saw it.

264
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: We saw it up close because we had an under

265
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: that they couldn't protect. A couple of weeks ago. We

266
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: did rebound, we did rebuild UCF number five run offense

267
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: in the country. Colorado's eighty third trying to stop it,

268
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: so kind of similar to what we think Kansas State

269
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: will do and just run, run, run, run run. The

270
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: difference is Kansas State can shut you down defensively. I

271
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: don't know that UCF can. So if we're talking about

272
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: UCF winning and covering, I'd be terrified at the back

273
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: door kver We're talking about the outright upset, and I

274
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 1: really think UCF's going to have a great night here,

275
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: great day, whatever time the kickoff is. So I've only

276
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: got about a three or a four on the upset

277
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: Alert concern meter, which is weird.

278
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 2: It's weird, but it's a unique spot as well.

279
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: You win the way they did last week, and you

280
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: got to fly all the way across the country and

281
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: you face a team that can run it really well.

282
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 2: That's a tough out.

283
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: It is a game that is right for needing to

284
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: throw the ball a lot, and somehow one of the

285
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: worst secondaries in the country comes up with picks because

286
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: you have to take too many risks and then they

287
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: run the ball and they take possessions away.

288
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 2: And that's the kind of game I think it'll be.

289
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: So I think UCF wins, maybe they'll cover, but I

290
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: don't have concern about them losing it. Outright, Academy Sports

291
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: and Outdoors should dot the landscape this Saturday, no question

292
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: about it, no excuse for it not to. Some of

293
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: you have waited until Thursday night. It is seven thirteen

294
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: in the Central time zone, and you still need equipment,

295
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: You still need gear, you still need accessories, for Saturday.

296
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: That's why God made Friday, and that's why God made

297
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: Academy in that order.

298
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 2: So go to Academy tomorrow. Get stocked up.

299
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: You need a tent, you need a canopy, you got it, umbrellas,

300
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: rain gear, you got it. Further east you go, the

301
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: more likely you are to need that. But just make

302
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: sure you visit them and look if you're If you're

00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: on the show. Uh, any of you who go here regularly.

310
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: If you don't, you should. But if you go here regularly,

311
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: it's well worth looking into the maa Academy card.

312
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 2: Because I was looking at it last night.

313
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: And I am a little bit angry I hadn't already

314
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: had one. So I'm getting mine. I think you should

315
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: get yours my Academy card. It's it doesn't cost anything,

316
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: it's free. Just shave you some money.

317
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 2: If you're into that. Sort of thing. If you're not

318
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 2: into money, forget about it. Let' le's move on. Let's

319
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 2: hold on, hold on. I have to pull something up here.

320
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: So at last update, Kublick had landed. He is now taxiing.

321
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: He is taxiing to gate. I don't want to tell

322
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: you what gate. He's at security purposes perpi plural of purpose.

323
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: But he's on the ground, Jesse, and he's landed and

324
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: he's taxiing. So that's good. Hands crossed. We still got

325
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: a few segments to do anyway. What do we think

326
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: about big games in college football? Chris Fanini I saw

327
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: put out something earlier today. So Colin showed me that

328
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: tweet that Chris put out, and I want you to

329
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: respond to this. So he said, Am I wrong that

330
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: individual college football games today or any sports don't hold

331
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: mythical status like they used to?

332
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 2: Is it our attention span?

333
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: Is it that there's just so many more games on

334
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: TV that it's harder to stand out? I could today

335
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: recount more great games from two thousand and five than

336
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:56,119
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. Completely agree with him, Completely agree with him?

337
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 2: So what happened? First off?

338
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: Do you feel this way or if you're of age

339
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: where you can remember both of those periods. Do you

340
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: feel like games are every bit as big today as

341
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: they used to be. I think there's something to be

342
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: said that has nothing to do with sports, and that

343
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: is with the proliferation and saturation of media and social media,

344
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: you just have more stuff thrown at you. It's like

345
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: a fire hose in your face. You get more information,

346
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: You're exposed to more things to day in one day

347
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: than people in nineteen ninety four would be in a

348
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: week or a month, which is wild to think about.

349
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: So it's hard for any one thing to stand out

350
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: that's not just a sports thing. Like there are things

351
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: that happen in society. There are things that have happened

352
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: within the last month or two in our country that

353
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: entire documentaries would have been done on and entire chapters

354
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: of history books would be dedicated to if it happened

355
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: thirty years ago, and it's like a month old.

356
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 2: Oh oh yeah, that's right, that happened.

357
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: Well, that happens in sports too, So that has nothing

358
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: to do with sports themselves changing. However, there are a

359
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: lot of things about the sport of college football that

360
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: I think have changed that have contributed to this, and

361
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: I am going to tell you right now. I got

362
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: into it today with a number of people arguing about

363
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: this because what Chris was saying, there's right. He was saying, Man,

364
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: these regular season games like we got Georgia Bama this weekend.

365
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: He was talking about two thousand and five, I think,

366
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: and he was talking about how USC went to Notre

367
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: Dame and that's the year that Charlie Weiss had him

368
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: grow the grass really high before Notre Dame inexplicably switched

369
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: to synthetic turf, and I remember vividly being in my

370
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: bedroom watching that game. I remember it. I don't remember

371
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: a single regular season game just off the top of

372
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 1: my head from like twenty eighteen or twenty one, the

373
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 1: way I do games back then. So it could just

374
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: be that you romanticize the past, you romanticize the things

375
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: that you saw as a kid. But some of you

376
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: weren't kids in the mid two thousands. Some of you

377
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: were thirty three years old, and I guarantee you some

378
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 1: of you feel the same way I do. So it's

379
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: not it's merely romanticizing your childhood. What I think happened

380
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: is those games in the pre two thousands or those

381
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: games in the mid two two thousands were in the

382
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: pre Who's in era, as I like to call it,

383
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: So it was before.

384
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 2: The advent of a playoff.

385
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: We didn't have the playoff, and not just the playoff itself,

386
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: but we didn't have the Who's in era. I think

387
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 1: one of the big faults of ESPN when they acquired

388
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: that property. They have since backtracked and apologized for it

389
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: and tried to directify it to their credit, but damage

390
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: was kind of done when they acquired that property of

391
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: the playoff. It was every single commercial break of every

392
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: single game, every single week from week one on, Who's in,

393
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: Who's in?

394
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 2: Who's in?

395
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: It was the marketing campaign. It was the marketing slogan

396
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:38,719
Speaker 1: of the playoff. So the Who's in ideology came to

397
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: be plastered all over the sport, and slowly the idea

398
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: took root. That meaning in college football and a game

399
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: having meaning is no longer derived just from it being

400
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: a Saturday.

401
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 2: In the fall.

402
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: Now its meaning is derived from whether it has playoff

403
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: implications attached to it. And the natural follow up was, well,

404
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: your games have meaning as long as you got a

405
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: shot at making the playoff. But if you don't have

406
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: a shot at making the playoff. Your games don't really

407
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 1: have meeting anymore. And what that did was it fundamentally

408
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 1: changed the way you watched college football games because it

409
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: used to be a game like this Saturday, you know,

410
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: Georgia Alabama. You put that thing back twenty years ago.

411
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: It just exists, and its magnitude is its magnitude because

412
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: of what it encapsulates in and of itself. It would

413
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: be almost independent of what kind of postseason implications wrote

414
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: on it, because you hadn't even had your mind retrained

415
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: to think in that way. There was a national title

416
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: game back then, just as there is now. There was

417
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 1: already an infrastructure of a postseason, but unlike pro sports,

418
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,199
Speaker 1: you weren't taught that that's the wagon and then or

419
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: that's the horse and then it pulls.

420
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 2: The wagon of the regular season along with it. It

421
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 2: was the inverse. So I think that happened.

422
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: And also then things started to be called meaningless that

423
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: previously had not been called meaningless. You ever hear the

424
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: phrase meaningless Bowl game in two thousand and five, I

425
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: didn't meaningless regular season game?

426
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 2: Like could you imagine that was?

427
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: That was like punishable by jail time in portions of

428
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: the South and should be still today if you said that, so,

429
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: then the follow up, Colin, show me that next tweet,

430
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 1: because I had a guy come at me. They didn't

431
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: come at me. He just responded, and he said, kids

432
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: stopped playing in meaningless bowl games, so it had to

433
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: play out this way. And honestly, I prefer this the

434
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: way it was before, started with tons of meaningful games

435
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: and ended with most fan bases checked out. This keeps

436
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 1: almost everybody engaged, you know. The expanded playoff keeps almost

437
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: everybody engaged and gives us a December with great college

438
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 1: football games. That's not the whole story. That's disingenuous, respectfully,

439
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: that's disingenuous. Fan bases weren't always checked out. Fan bases

440
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: weren't checking out when they lost two games in two

441
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,959
Speaker 1: thousand and five. Fan bases, believe it or not, kids,

442
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: my college age folks are not going to understand this.

443
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna explain it to you, believe it or not.

444
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 1: Once upon a time, if you entered the season a

445
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: bunch of folks wanted to win the national title.

446
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 2: A bunch of fan bases.

447
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 1: Had just as warped a perception of their team back

448
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: then as they do now, and a bunch of folks

449
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: who probably had no shot of winning a title, had

450
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: a goal to win a title. That's great, that's wonderful.

451
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 1: No one ever told you to change it. But once

452
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: upon a time a fan base of a team would

453
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: have a goal to win a national title. Their expectation

454
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: would be twelve and zero. And then they'd lose a

455
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: couple of early games, and believe it or not, what

456
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: would happen is they didn't look at the rest of

457
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: the season as meaningless. They simply recalibrated their expectation. And

458
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: so every step along the way, you would take the expectation,

459
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: and then you would observe the result, and then you'd

460
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: recalibrate your expectation. And if you kept winning, your expectation

461
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 1: didn't change. Your expectation is we want to win a title.

462
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 1: We think we can win a title. We're nine to zero,

463
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: we can still win the title. But if it started,

464
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 1: we want to win a title. And seven and three,

465
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: we want to make the Capitol One Bowl. That sounds

466
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: ludicrous today, not too long ago, it was the way

467
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: it worked, and it wasn't a bad thing that those

468
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: people weren't those people weren't stupid, they weren't ignorant. A

469
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 1: bunch of folks found happiness in understanding, well, we didn't

470
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: quite make it to the mountaintop, like the top rung

471
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: of the ladder will always be there.

472
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 2: That's a championship. But there was value in the next

473
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 2: wrong or the rung below that, like how high on

474
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 2: the ladder can we climb this year? Then someone came

475
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 2: along and said that top rung keep it. The rest

476
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 2: of them doesn't matter, rip them off. If you can't

477
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 2: reach that top rung, everything else you do is meaningless.

478
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 2: And people who supported that wanted to look at the

479
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 2: folks who had believed in the old way of doing

480
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 2: things and call them backwards. That's wild like that, to

481
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 2: me is still a wild concept. So the games weren't

482
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 2: meaningless before. And to speak about the kids opting out

483
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 2: of the bowl games, that's not how that happened. The

484
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 2: kids didn't just all of a sudden, up in one

485
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 2: day say I don't want to play.

486
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: Bowl games anymore. What happened first was the adults in

487
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: the room, as they often do, screwed it up, and

488
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: they started presenting the idea that if your games don't

489
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: have playoff implications. They're meaningless in the regular season, and

490
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 1: if your bowl game's not part of the playoff, it's

491
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: meaningless as well. Meaningless bowl game, meaningless regular season game.

492
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: Those are phrases that players didn't invent. Adults invented them,

493
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: some of them on campuses, some of them in TV studios,

494
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: some of them online or on message boards. But the

495
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: adults introduced it into the zeitgeist. And then the players said,

496
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to take you at your word. Maybe these

497
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 1: are meaningless. I'm gonna opt out, don't leave chapter one

498
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 1: of the book out tell the whole story on that.

499
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 1: So I just want to, by the way, say that

500
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: no one can go back and do anything about that.

501
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: But I didn't want to respond to that. And I

502
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: also want to tell you we have our first case

503
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: study this Saturday in the new playoff era. We have

504
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 1: a game coming up this Saturday. We'll be there Alabama, Georgia,

505
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 1: where nobody's going to get eliminated from anything by losing

506
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: the game. There's a giant safety net under the game.

507
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: How does it feel because I went at someone the

508
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,360
Speaker 1: other night a little bit probably a little bit too hard, honestly,

509
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: but I went at someone cause they said this game's meaningless.

510
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: What they were saying, in part was kind of something

511
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:28,239
Speaker 1: that I agree with at the macro level, and that

512
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,360
Speaker 1: is an expanded playoff devalue some of the high level.

513
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 2: Regular season games. I agree with that.

514
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: Where I disagree on the micro level is that this

515
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: game's meaningless. This game is not meaningless whether you have

516
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 1: a playoff or not, whether you have a thirty team

517
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: playoff or not. However, we will find out together how

518
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: we feel about this game, and we got to kind

519
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: of feel it out. We've never been through this before,

520
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 1: so we got to kind of feel it out. We'll

521
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: see a quick trip fueling our trip later tonight as

522
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: it were down to tuscaloose at Alabama tomorrow. Now the

523
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: whole new Saturday to will be there in Bryant Denny

524
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 1: Stadium on Saturday. I'll be on the sideline. Hopefully, don't

525
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: even need rain gear. I mean, think about the fears

526
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: we had at one point, and it may not rain

527
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: and drop. I think it's going to be totally dry there,

528
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: so we're good on that front. But Colin Jesse, I

529
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: know you guys heard these rumors. I heard him as well.

530
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: I heard rumors as early as Monday that we were

531
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: going to be down there Friday. I mean, I always

532
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: work out with Dave Blue when we're down there. Alabama

533
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: strength guy. The only guy that I see at Alabama

534
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: able to do the two hundred pounds dumbbells. But we

535
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: do that every time we go to Alabama. He's always

536
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 1: gracious lets us in there. But before that, there are

537
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: rumors that have since been confirmed that I'll be speaking

538
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: at Alabama tomorrow students only. This is a closed event,

539
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: but I've been told that many are planning to skip class.

540
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: Many are planning on camping out just to secure a

541
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: seat in the venue. Hope someone shows up to document

542
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: that so we have proof of it. But anyway, all

543
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: of it fueled by quick trip. Whompstead of funk, that

544
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: quick trip could fuel such a thing I did. That's

545
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: why we committed a quick trip. All right, let's do

546
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 1: something fun right quick. And Jesse, I'm just gonna hold

547
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: on a second, Okay, had to clear the ear piece

548
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: out so I could hear you talk. I'm gonna wait

549
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: and listen for you in my ear In the meantime,

550
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 1: I got to tell you, guys something we do bold

551
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 1: predictions all summer, and some of your bold predictions have

552
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: flat out crashed and burned already, and you ought to

553
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: be ashamed of yourselves. As we have established on this show,

554
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: I make predictions as well, but I don't want to

555
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: know about the blame. I don't want any of the blame.

556
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 1: I just want the credit. So I want to be

557
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: praised when our predictions pan out. However, I am not

558
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: above throwing some of you under the bus when your

559
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,199
Speaker 1: bold predictions fail, and I've got bad news. Six of

560
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: you are already done, and we can go back because

561
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 1: all of these are on record, and some of you

562
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: know what you did, and I'm not gonna call you

563
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: out by name, but I'm about to call your prediction out.

564
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: For example, Virginia Tech going undefeated when they play Clemson.

565
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: That was a prediction we got from Lincoln, Nebraska. Virginia

566
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 1: Tech has another six weeks until they play Clemson, and

567
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: they're already two and two and they're huge underdogs against Miami.

568
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 2: They still got Boston College, Georgia Tech.

569
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: Sarahcuse, I don't even know if Virginia Tech will be

570
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: above five hundred when they play Clemson, much less undefeated.

571
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: Now I wanted this to be right, you guys know

572
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: I did. I've never been to a Virginia Tech game,

573
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: so I wanted this to be right. But alas it

574
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: is not. We could play Sarah McLaughlin music over this

575
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: whole thing. Next up, coh, these were real predictions, guys.

576
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 1: Kansas makes the playoff. From snowmanned sports, Kansas makes the playoff. Well,

577
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: the ie Josh says it is September twenty sixth, Still September.

578
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 1: Kansas is one in three. Jaylen Daniels has more interceptions

579
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: than touchdowns. They lost to Illinois. They did beat Lyndon Wood,

580
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 1: they did beat that dude, but they lost to Illinois.

581
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: They lost to UNLV, they lost to West Virginia. They've

582
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: still got Kansas State, Iowa State, TCU, Arizona State, Brigham

583
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: Young College, RADO. Kansas is going to the playoff, only

584
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: if they buy tickets.

585
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 2: This one was dead on arrival, no shot. Next up.

586
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 2: This one was never going to happen.

587
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 1: I think we made it like a nine point five

588
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 1: on the boldness scale when it was presented to us.

589
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 2: Riley Leonard, a Heisman finalist.

590
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: Riley Leonard in his best year, was never going to

591
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 1: be a Heisman finalist, but he's yet to throw for

592
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy yards in any game.

593
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 2: At Notre Dame, they already lost to Northern Illinois.

594
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 1: The win against Texas A and M was wonderful, but

595
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: it wasn't some Heisman moment by any stretch. I don't

596
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: much care about Heisman moments. I'm just telling you that's

597
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: how this award works. He has more interceptions than passing touchdowns,

598
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: and by the way, he's only thrown two picks. The

599
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: problem is he's only thrown one touchdown. He is not

600
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: top one hundred in pass yards per game right now.

601
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: There are one hundred quarterbacks minimum with a better yards

602
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: per game passing. So Riley Leonard feels safe to say

603
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: has been eliminated from Heisman contention. Next up, Florida State.

604
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: They're going to lose the ACC championship game to a

605
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: team not named Clemson or Miami. That one came to

606
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: us from Montgomery, Alabama. So Florida State is gonna make

607
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: the conference title game and they're gonna lose to someone

608
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: not named Miami or Clemson. Florida State will not be

609
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: sniffing Charlotte. Florida State is more likely to lose to

610
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: Charlotte than they are to make it to Charlotte. And secondly,

611
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: Miami and Clemson are the overwhelming favorites right now one

612
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: to two in order to make the ACC Championship game

613
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: and win it, so one of them, maybe both of

614
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: them will be there. Florida State will not be there.

615
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: So none of this prediction is going to remotely be accurate,

616
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: which is why we gave it a nine point five

617
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: on the boldness scale in the preseason. Next up, this

618
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: one's even worse. Minds you people, it's still September. These

619
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: have crashed and burned in September. Graham Mertz has a

620
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: better statistical season than cam Ward. Hold on Colin. There's

621
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: nothing wrong. I just I know people are laughing, so

622
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: I want to give them a second. We like Graham Mertz, man,

623
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: we are Graham Mertz fans, but man, this was not

624
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Like, what was wrong with you? I think

625
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: right now? Yeah, Ward is number two in the country in.

626
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 2: Pass yards per game. Graham Mertz is barely top one hundred.

627
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: Cam Ward has thrown for three or more touchdowns in

628
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: every game. Mertz has four all season. It was just

629
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: never gonna happen, never gonna happen. And lastly, mathematically, I

630
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: guess this last one's still alive. But I mean calculators

631
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: don't have heartbeats, as mem Al once said, so math

632
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: is the only thing keeping this alive. Ben from Blacksburg, Virginia.

633
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: His heart was in the right place, his head was not.

634
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: The ACC will have a winning record against the SEC

635
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: this season. Let's go to the tape. Miami did beat

636
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: Florida and Cal Cal as we always said, Cal will

637
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: be the backbone of the ACC. They beat Auburn. So

638
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: you do have two wins. Your problem is Clemson got

639
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: body bagged by Georgia. Virginia Tech got beat by Vandy,

640
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: kind of one you needed to have. NC State got

641
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: splattered by Tennessee Wake, same thing against Ole. Miss BC

642
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: came close, but close does not count. They lost to Missouri.

643
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: And so now you're two and five and you've got

644
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: South Carolina versus Clemson. Okay, you got Georgia's going to

645
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: do bad things to Georgia Tech. In all likelihood, I

646
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: would lean Louisville over Kentucky Florida. Florida State should be

647
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: illegal to put on TV right now. Point being this

648
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: one's alive mathematically, but it's not gonna happen. So we

649
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: already have six bold predictions that we might as well

650
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: play the Undertaker's music over because they're dead and buried

651
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: and gone. Sad but true. They're watching us in Tabor City,

652
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: North Carolin, Los Crusius, New Mexico, and Carrollton, Georgia. All right, Jesse,

653
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: do we have a cublic update?

654
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 2: Oh for real, he's ready already.

655
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: He must have flown first class. Okay, well, let me

656
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: do FanDuel first and then we'll bring him in. All right,

657
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: FanDuel exclusive provider of odds on this show, and I

658
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: have good news. I'm about to give you two more

659
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: added best bets. That's part two. Part one is to

660
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: actually Saturday night, the game will be at at Alabama Georgia, Bama.

661
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: There is a fifty percent profit boost on that game

662
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: right now. So not only can you go sign up

663
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: at FanDuel right now and bet five bucks to win

664
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: two hundred just free money, but also i'd use this

665
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: QR code because it helps us if you get in

666
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: that way. There's a fifty percent profit boost if you

667
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: win on that Bama Georgia game Saturday night.

668
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 2: So take advantage of that stuff.

669
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: Guys like that's there, take advantage of it because it's

670
00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: not always there now. As for the Rominul Express, really

671
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,959
Speaker 1: good week last week. I feel like we're seeing the

672
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: board very well. It always happens this way, it seems.

673
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: So when we get on a roll, don't be increasing

674
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: your unit size. No immunity. This is wagering talk. Be professional,

675
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: be mature. Just bet the things flat and bet all

676
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: of them, or don't bet any of them at all.

677
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: And I couldn't care less if you do either. I

678
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: would actually prefer you don't bet if you have any

679
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: questions about this. But we've already added Kansas State minus

680
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: five and a half. We've added Miami minus eighteen and

681
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: a half. That's a Friday night game. I will do

682
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: Friday Night lines tomorrow night at halftime of the Miami game,

683
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: So it will be very very tense on the Instagram

684
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: story there at late kick Josh. By the way, Colin,

685
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: what are we adding tonight? We are adding New Mexico

686
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: State plus nine and a half. They're playing New Mexico,

687
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: and we're adding Utah minus seven and a half against Arizona.

688
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: The Utah Arizona game feels to me like the Kansas

689
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: State Arizona game from a couple of weeks ago, and

690
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: we did not bet Kansas and the model screened at

691
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: us to so we ironically are betting Kansas State this

692
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: week agains someone else, and we're also betting Utah against Arizona.

00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: man is set up.

711
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 2: Kublick took off from Birmingham a little while ago.

712
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,280
Speaker 1: I actually it was like it was like coaching search season.

713
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: I had his flight tracker pulled up here and I

714
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: watched you land, I watched you taxi. You're at DFW again.

715
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: You have joined us from DFW more times than you've

716
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,399
Speaker 1: joined us from your actual house this year.

717
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 2: How was the trip?

718
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 3: It was great. I have a new friend, Elise right

719
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,720
Speaker 3: here from Buffalo. He Elise now learned about your show.

720
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 3: She's never been to a college football game. She says

721
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 3: she's gonna go to one in Buffalo now. And I

722
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,959
Speaker 3: told her she needs to watch your show from moving forward.

723
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 3: And I also apologize ahead of time that I'm going

724
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 3: to be that loud, annoying guy next to her. So yes,

725
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 3: we are here set up again in DFW. It is great.

726
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,399
Speaker 2: If I know Elise like I think I do, She's

727
00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:00,439
Speaker 2: okay with it. Go bulls. She's okay with it. So

728
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 2: the first thing I.

729
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 3: Least, do you know? Do you know your school's mascot?

730
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 2: Don't do this to her? What is it?

731
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 3: Well, she said, it's a book she got she nailed it.

732
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 2: Good job, good job.

733
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 1: So I don't know whether release was listening to the

734
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: show this morning that you do with Macroy, but I was.

735
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna have cal And play it, but suffice

736
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,439
Speaker 1: it to say, you guys took a call. We don't

737
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 1: throw callers under the bus. We appreciate them. Some of

738
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:26,879
Speaker 1: them take a little longer to get to their point

739
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: than others. And I put the stopwatch on it, and

740
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: it took a caller fifteen and three quarters seconds to

741
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:39,240
Speaker 1: ask what's the spread on Georgia Bama? And you didn't

742
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: even crack a smile? So how do you even do that?

743
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 3: What you guys could not hear there? I don't know

744
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,439
Speaker 3: why the YouTube fee doesn't have it. But as soon

745
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 3: as I told him he had a minute, the backstop

746
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 3: music started, so it was basically counting down a commercial,

747
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 3: so he knew he had to go also, in which

748
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 3: I think that just drug it out and make him

749
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 3: go even slower to ask us the point spread of

750
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:08,320
Speaker 3: the game was one thing to then immediately question according

751
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 3: to who on set point spread was absolutely amazing. It's

752
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 3: just making it up. He's a random guy.

753
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 2: Oh he said, that's who.

754
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:18,879
Speaker 3: He said.

755
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 1: The line on the line on the game is what

756
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 1: McElroy says, two George's favoritebye two, and that dude goes

757
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 1: hmm hmmm. According to what Vegas, that was all I got.

758
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: I think that was all the time he had. So

759
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: that was wonderful. That was stirring radio. How about this

760
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: game though, so we've talked about it all. We broke

761
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,359
Speaker 1: the game down, You've broken the game down nine ways

762
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 1: from Sunday. It's in your backyard there in Birmingham, so

763
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 1: we can go anywhere we want to with this. I

764
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,479
Speaker 1: think the impact on this game is twofold. You could,

765
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 1: of course, look at the SEC title picture. You could

766
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 1: look at the playoff picture. I know most people will

767
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: do that, but you know this, I know this. I

768
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 1: don't know that the outside world understands how much of

769
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 1: a one game season this particular rivalry has taken on.

770
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: People even debate whether it's a rivalry. So however you

771
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: define that is semantics. It's been the most meaningful matchup

772
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 1: in the SEC in recent memory. But so it means

773
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: that for me. But I've talked about that all week.

774
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 1: But if you want to revert back to the whole, Okay,

775
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: what about the on the field, what about the standing stuff? Honestly,

776
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: I don't ever look at schedules moving forward. I like

777
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 1: to take it week by week. But if you start

778
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: to look at what Georgia has coming up versus what

779
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: Alabama has coming up, forget about the whole. Is there

780
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: more pressure on Kirby than debor thing? There's more pressure

781
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: on Georgia here. Georgia's got three games, two of them

782
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: on the road, that they'll either be a dog in

783
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 1: or a single digit favorite in. Bama's got two of

784
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: those games remaining. And if Bama wins this, you've got

785
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: wiggle room Georgia. If they lose this thing, you're looking

786
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 1: at a landscape of we still got to go to Oxford,

787
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 1: we still got to go to Austin, We got Tennessee

788
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 1: at home. None of those teams. Teams look worse to

789
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,800
Speaker 1: us now than they did in the regular season. Bama's

790
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 1: got Oklahoma, they look worse. Bama's got Missouri they haven't

791
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: played up the potential. Auburn looks terrible. Right now, LSU

792
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:12,879
Speaker 1: does not look as good as some folks thought they were.

793
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 1: So the beef on Georgia's schedule is still there, like

794
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 1: it looked like it looked like it was in the preseason.

795
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 1: Bama's not quite as much. I think it's a I

796
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: hate to talk like this. I think there's significantly more

797
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 1: meaning and pressure on Georgia from a standings standpoint, like

798
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 1: from an on field from a record standpoint, than there

799
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: is Alabama.

800
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 2: So what do you make of it?

801
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 3: I'm with you on a lot of that. I think

802
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 3: you could also use a little bit of reverse psychology

803
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 3: on yourself. And we've talked about this before. That three

804
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 3: seed in certain conferences? Is that going to be a

805
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 3: more valuable spot to have than going to Atlanta and

806
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 3: losing conference championship game? In that case, it would be

807
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,919
Speaker 3: the SEC championship game. But your point on where other

808
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 3: teams are, like Texas Old Miss Tennessee looking a little

809
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 3: bit better, that's fair. But would you not also argue

810
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:00,879
Speaker 3: that George's kind of mental advantage over those teams? I mean,

811
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 3: how many times have those teams really pushed Georgia in

812
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 3: recent memory? I know Texas and Georgia haven't played a ton.

813
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 3: You have to go back to that Sugar Bowl in

814
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 3: which Sam Ellnger and company knocked him off. But I

815
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 3: would think georgea Is also gonna have a middle advantage

816
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 3: against those teams because of what they've been for the

817
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 3: last few years. I think we're getting away from like

818
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 3: this old Like when I was in college and Rick

819
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,839
Speaker 3: Trickett was my offensive line coach, there were certain weeks

820
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 3: Josh and we would come in there on Sunday to

821
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 3: start getting ready for opponent, and he'd go up to

822
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,800
Speaker 3: the whiteboard and he would write one team on the side,

823
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 3: and then he'd write Alburn on the side and he's

824
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 3: like this, Missip to state you, Alburn, we supposed to

825
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 3: win this damn game. And that was like his analysis

826
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 3: for the game. It didn't matter what the scheme was,

827
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 3: didn't wonder what everybody else did. It just he thought

828
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 3: we should win that game because of who they were

829
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 3: and who we were. So inherently Georgia is still Georgia.

830
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 3: They still have talent everywhere. Just because they had one

831
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 3: week in which an older football team, a physical football team,

832
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,399
Speaker 3: gave them some headaches. A week ago with a couple

833
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 3: of guys down, I mine, ad you, does it really

834
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 3: register to me that all of a sudden, this team

835
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 3: team isn't good, can't win, can't compete now. I also

836
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 3: don't think this is a great matchup with Alabama this weekend.

837
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 3: I think it would put Alabama in the driver's seat.

838
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 3: But we know you don't have to be undefeated anymore

839
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:11,839
Speaker 3: to get to the playoff, and that's the ultimate goal.

840
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 3: I know Kirby Smart would like to get to the

841
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 3: SEC Championship game and win the SEC Championship, But I

842
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 3: don't know if this does that much for either one

843
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 3: of these teams if they were to drop it, because

844
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 3: we've seen both of these teams, by the way, now,

845
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 3: one under a different regime, under different leadership, utilize a

846
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 3: loss as motivation to then go on and do other

847
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 3: great things. Allah Georgia getting their ass kicked by Alabama

848
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 3: in the SEC Championship game and then going to win

849
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 3: the national championship.

850
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 2: So I don't think it.

851
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 3: Would be the end of the world. I think how

852
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 3: beat up George is right now would be a much

853
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 3: bigger concern than we lost. This is who else we

854
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 3: have on our schedule.

855
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, So if I were to ask you concern I

856
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 1: think mine by ten miles on the Georgia side is

857
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 1: I may be getting guys back up front? How many

858
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 1: of them do I get back? And when I say

859
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 1: how many of them? I mean like, how many snaps

860
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,800
Speaker 1: do I get from those guys? Mikel William if he plays,

861
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,839
Speaker 1: is it situational? Like it's one thing to play, It's

862
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: one thing to have a warm body on a field,

863
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 1: albeit a very talented warm body. How impactful is he

864
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: because otherwise there's run the ball right at him if

865
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: they can. So the first part is I wonder how

866
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: much rotational depth, how much high level rotational depth does

867
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,439
Speaker 1: Georgia have there. Then on the other side, man, it's

868
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: totally fair to me, even though Georgia doesn't have a

869
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: bona fide first round talented wide receiver, just the cumulative

870
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: athleticism of the pass catcher on that team. Should it

871
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 1: not be enough to find some plays against the young secondary,

872
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: even though Caine's gonna mix it up against him? Like

873
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 1: should Carson Beck not get enough looks? Should guys not

874
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,839
Speaker 1: be able to get open a few times here? If

875
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,879
Speaker 1: they don't, that to me is the more alarming part

876
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 1: for Georgia because whether they eke out a win or

877
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 1: they don't like I'm gonna ask them to do what

878
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to try and do Saturday night three

879
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 1: or four more times over the span of the season

880
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: if they want to get where they want to go.

881
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: If they don't have that capability against a really young

882
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: secondary like Bama secondary won't be any younger if they

883
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: face them another go around. And I don't know that

884
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: anyone else is gonna make it any easier on him.

885
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 1: So those are the two hinge points I look at

886
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:10,800
Speaker 1: on either side.

887
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 3: Well, here's where I would go with that is number one.

888
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 3: You're not doing it now, you're kind of making up

889
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,919
Speaker 3: for it. This happened in the preseason, happened the first week,

890
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 3: still happening here in Week five. This Georgia group of

891
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,320
Speaker 3: skill players, for some reason, people just don't believe it.

892
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 2: Don't think are very good.

893
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 3: I mean, Dominic Lovett is one of the most proven

894
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 3: slot receivers in this league. I saw Colby Young going

895
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 3: up in high pointing footballs down the sideline against Clemson.

896
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 3: We saw him do it at Miami last year. I

897
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 3: don't know why people just think that he's not a

898
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,759
Speaker 3: very good wide receiver. Now, are the tight ends what

899
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 3: they had last year or two years ago with Darnel

900
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 3: Washington brock Bauers. They're not, but they're good football players.

901
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 3: The bigger issue is not the weapons. Can they get open,

902
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 3: can they make plays? Is can Carson Beck have enough

903
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:57,399
Speaker 3: protection to get to those skill players and allow them

904
00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 3: to go make plays. I think some of that has

905
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 3: to start with running the football. Play actually needs to

906
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 3: be big in this game, and then just straight up protection.

907
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 3: This Alabama defensive front they've barely blitzed all season. They

908
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:10,800
Speaker 3: have found a couple of different edge guys that have

909
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 3: been able to get home at times, but these Georgia

910
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 3: tackles and you imagine one probably gonna move down. They

911
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,399
Speaker 3: haven't been great in pass protection. I mean, Tennessee Tech

912
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 3: got a couple of one on one wins against these

913
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,800
Speaker 3: offensive tackles. That has to change. And I don't know

914
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,439
Speaker 3: if Mike Bobo tries to widen the surface with tight

915
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 3: ends out on the edge, if he uses backs to

916
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 3: chip a little bit, if he tries to move the

917
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 3: pockets some. But Kway Russo on the left of your screen, right,

918
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 3: there is one that I think they really need in

919
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 3: the lineup, but Khuen Deers Robinson's done it a little

920
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 3: bit now. Elt Overton looks like he could be a

921
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 3: bit of a takeover guy inside that could get loose

922
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 3: and give you a little bit of a pass rush.

923
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,479
Speaker 3: That's sort of what I'm watching more than anything else.

924
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 3: Can Carson Beck find that time to get set up

925
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 3: and then deliver those footballs to those skilled players that

926
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 3: you mentioned, because it's not just a young secondary, it's

927
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 3: a new secondary. But that can work against you because

928
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:59,439
Speaker 3: they also have known this defense very well. Why it's

929
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 3: the same they face it every day in practice. Kane

930
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 3: Womacks defense operates in a little bit of different ways.

931
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,279
Speaker 3: He doesn't cover the same way, he doesn't run the

932
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:12,399
Speaker 3: same things. It's much more disguiseworthy, if you will, And

933
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 3: Carson Beck's gonna have to identify it. But he's gonna

934
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 3: need time to be able to do that, and that

935
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:18,879
Speaker 3: I think is the biggest matchup in this game.

936
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 1: So I was gonna go there with you, okay. So

937
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 1: I always found it interesting when these two played each other,

938
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:27,240
Speaker 1: and it was the Kirby saban era because one sees

939
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,720
Speaker 1: the other's defense, or at least a very similar version

940
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 1: of that every day in practice, so it's not all

941
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: that difficult as simulation for Kirby to show his offense

942
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 1: what Nick Saban's defense is going to throw at him.

943
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 1: Kine Womack, you just mentioned what a lot of people

944
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: are gonna say. Broadly, They're gonna say, hey, this is

945
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 1: a different defense. So I know you talked about this

946
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:45,760
Speaker 1: a lot with McElroy on your show, but like drilled

947
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 1: down on some specifics for folks of what specifically is

948
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 1: different about this and then how that impacts Saturday.

949
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:56,319
Speaker 3: Maybe well, I think the main thing will be probably

950
00:45:56,520 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 3: and listen, Kane Womacks versatile. He has coached under a

951
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 3: lot of different guys that have coached a lot of

952
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,439
Speaker 3: different ways and run different defenses. I don't think he's

953
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 3: as reliant on man coverage. You'll get more zone coverage.

954
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 3: He references at his vision coverage, which means you can

955
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 3: take a space or you can take a space until

956
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 3: someone crosses your space and then roll that into mand coverage.

957
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 3: But it's not going to be I also don't think

958
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 3: it's gonna ask as much from an individual disciplinary standpoint

959
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 3: of you have to do this on this play and

960
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 3: if this receiver motion's here, or if they give us

961
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 3: this formation here and they shift to this formation, everything

962
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 3: changes and you have to understand this and reroute that receiver.

963
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:37,320
Speaker 3: I think it's a little bit more basic to allow

964
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 3: football players to go play football. I think that's what

965
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 3: he wants. He wants the athletes to be athletes and

966
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 3: not be thinking the entire time and worrying about different

967
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 3: things like that. So I think less reliant on manned

968
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 3: man coverage, not as much powder matching, which is what

969
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 3: sometimes could get Alabama Secondary in trouble previously. There's one

970
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 3: of a lot of teams that could take advantage of it.

971
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 3: And he normally has been a coach that likes to pressure,

972
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 3: but he hasn't done that this year. So is this

973
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 3: the week that he tries to turn it on and

974
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 3: add a little bit more to Carson Beck and maybe

975
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 3: force him into some mistakes.

976
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 2: Do you think that?

977
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,720
Speaker 1: Do you buy into the theory that they probably planned

978
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 1: on opening up a little bit, opening that up maybe

979
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 1: a little bit more again with against Wisconsin. Then Van

980
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: Dyke goes down and then it's all of a sudden,

981
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 1: we need none of this, so we'll just roll it up.

982
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: Save it for Georgia because that's really popular to think,

983
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 1: and sometimes it's a little more hyperbolic than reality. I

984
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: think it's true here. I think there was a lot

985
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 1: that they probably thought that need against Wisconsin, that because

986
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 1: of the way the game played out, they didn't, And

987
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 1: whatever that was you probably find this Saturday night.

988
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 3: There's two schools of thought there, and it's interesting because

989
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 3: I think you're right, but I also think you might

990
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 3: be wrong. I'll go back to the Georgia spring game

991
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 3: the year before they won the national championship, and I

992
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 3: was on sideline and Josh Kirby's defenses were throwing everything

993
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:57,280
Speaker 3: at one another. I mean it was every pressure, every twist,

994
00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 3: every stunt. And actually asked me about it a halftime.

995
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 3: I said, we are not pulling any punches here, are we,

996
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 3: you know, I'm honest, just our base defense the same stuff.

997
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 3: I was like, Okay, I know what it looks like

998
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 3: and I know what you're doing, and it's a lot

999
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 3: of stuff. So I also think there's the side of

1000
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 3: that that's we want you to know we're capable of

1001
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 3: doing all these different things, so you're gonna have to

1002
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 3: rep them in practice every day. To me, that would

1003
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 3: come down to how comfortable is Kane Womack with that

1004
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 3: defense going out there and executing those pressure packages or stunts, games,

1005
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,360
Speaker 3: whatever it's going to be. And if he's really comfortable

1006
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 3: with it, then I think your philosophy is probably accurate.

1007
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 3: Where he said, Hey, I know, we were gonna do

1008
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 3: all this crazy stuff, and we had all these different

1009
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 3: fronts and these different looks, and we were gonna mask this

1010
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 3: on the back end. Just go play bass cover two

1011
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,359
Speaker 3: whatever it is, and just make tackles and just fly

1012
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 3: around the football field and run through those offensive linemen

1013
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 3: that don't look like your daddy's Wisconsin offensive lineman, and

1014
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 3: we're gonna get out of here with a win.

1015
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,799
Speaker 1: Do you find it interesting like I do, that the

1016
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 1: perception of George's already roller coastered a little bit this

1017
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,879
Speaker 1: year what they did. And it's Clemson week one, and

1018
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 1: then week two you saw what Clemson did to app State,

1019
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 1: who he at the time perceived to be a big

1020
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 1: player in the G five ranks. You think Georgia may

1021
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 1: be world beaters. And then you get to the Kentucky

1022
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 1: game and like everyone unloads their Georgia stock. And then

1023
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 1: you got the bye week, and so you have two

1024
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 1: weeks to marinate on that and all already, Like I've

1025
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 1: scanned the landscape. I picked Bama. I don't know who

1026
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 1: you picked. You can tell me a lot of folk,

1027
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:25,240
Speaker 1: a lot of Bama energy out there. And so Georgia

1028
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,399
Speaker 1: comes in here. Now it's still September. Man Like, I'm

1029
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 1: not saying that they've knocked out of the top five,

1030
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 1: but there are a lot of folks who have been

1031
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 1: really up and down on them already, which is atypical,

1032
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 1: like for one of the high end teams, normally it's

1033
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 1: pretty steady first month of the season.

1034
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 3: Is this surprising, No, We've seen this movie before, and

1035
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 3: it's with the team that they're going to be competing

1036
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:50,879
Speaker 3: against this weekend. Go back to year five, six, seven

1037
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 3: eight under coach Saban, it was no different. I think

1038
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:55,719
Speaker 3: there's a lot of people, Josh that just won. They

1039
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 3: don't believe they can be near as good as they

1040
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:00,320
Speaker 3: were the previous year. So they are immediate going to

1041
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 3: try to downplay anything that doesn't look like perfection or

1042
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:05,839
Speaker 3: to the exact standard that it was the previous year

1043
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 3: two years ago, three years ago. And a lot of

1044
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 3: those folks just look at this and like this is

1045
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:12,800
Speaker 3: their time now to say that they were right about Georgia,

1046
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:14,839
Speaker 3: maybe because they were wrong a few other times. Not

1047
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 3: really sure. But the reality is you're allowed to have

1048
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 3: a clunker of a game. You're allowed to not have

1049
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:23,400
Speaker 3: a game in which you go out and execute perfectly.

1050
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:26,840
Speaker 3: Things happen. And also, I've always been a fan of

1051
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:28,959
Speaker 3: giving other teams credit for going out and doing stuff

1052
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 3: like Missouri Vanderbilt, I thought was a great example of this.

1053
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 3: Last week, All of a sudden, everybody says, yep, thought,

1054
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 3: so Missouri's just not a good football team. We'll go

1055
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 3: watch how the Vanderbilt defense played them. They gave everything

1056
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:42,240
Speaker 3: underneath up and had safeties flying down after the snap

1057
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:43,920
Speaker 3: to try to come play and run support and take

1058
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 3: some different things away. And Brady Cook did what he

1059
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:48,399
Speaker 3: was supposed to do. He didn't force the ball down

1060
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 3: the field, he took the check downs, they ran the football,

1061
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:53,600
Speaker 3: they got out of there with a win. So sometimes

1062
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 3: you have to credit your opponent to doing something that

1063
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:57,400
Speaker 3: you didn't expect or did a little bit better than you,

1064
00:50:57,640 --> 00:50:59,359
Speaker 3: and you still won the football game. I think right

1065
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:01,360
Speaker 3: now people are just looking at Georgia saying, yeah, they

1066
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:03,400
Speaker 3: ain't what they were last year or no way there

1067
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 3: as good as two years ago, which, by the way,

1068
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:07,880
Speaker 3: even if they're not, they're still pretty good. It's about

1069
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 3: matchups more than it is that and the matchups in

1070
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 3: this game that I'm most interested to see Alabama's North

1071
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 3: South run game. And then, as we just mentioned before,

1072
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 3: can Carson Beck, who should be the number one pick

1073
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 3: in the draft, can he have time to set up

1074
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,320
Speaker 3: and push the ball down the field to the weapons

1075
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:25,799
Speaker 3: that are better than a lot of people believe that

1076
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:26,879
Speaker 3: you and I both agree upon.

1077
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:29,840
Speaker 1: I was accused in the live chat of being guilty

1078
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,759
Speaker 1: of being very roller coasterish on Georgia because I've taken

1079
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 1: them from one to two, which is as up and

1080
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 1: down as you could possibly get in the sport.

1081
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 3: Listen, they're kiddy coasters everywhere. Yeah, put I've thrown my

1082
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 3: kids on them. They don't do, you know, the whole loop,

1083
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:45,400
Speaker 3: and they don't have the giant bumps. It's just, you know,

1084
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 3: it's the little you don't want to get them too

1085
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:50,400
Speaker 3: scared there. So just because you put Georgia on the

1086
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:53,439
Speaker 3: kitty coaster this year doesn't mean you just like them.

1087
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:55,360
Speaker 3: It actually means I view that as a little bit

1088
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 3: more of a caretaker, Josh, where you're you're not trying

1089
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 3: to sneak them in. Have to be up to this

1090
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:03,359
Speaker 3: height just because George is not that tall yet this year,

1091
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 3: I think I think that's you sort of coddling George

1092
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 3: a little bit more than it is. You're a little

1093
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:08,719
Speaker 3: bit too up and down.

1094
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 1: You start on the Delanaga mind train at six flags

1095
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:12,399
Speaker 1: over Georgia and you.

1096
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:13,800
Speaker 2: Work your way up to Goliath.

1097
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 3: Nobody goes to Ninja first, yeah or whatever. I can't Batman,

1098
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:20,719
Speaker 3: I don't even know what they were back in my day.

1099
00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 2: It's taking many alive.

1100
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 3: Scream Great America Scream Machine has had the one bar

1101
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:25,800
Speaker 3: holding you down, always calling.

1102
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:29,720
Speaker 1: Love that love that wood that was imported in the forties.

1103
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:33,320
Speaker 1: I love that, love that. So this Kentucky Old Miss

1104
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 1: game is talking to you about this earlier this week

1105
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:38,240
Speaker 1: to kind of a sleepy game on the national radar.

1106
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:41,880
Speaker 1: Sixteen seventeen points spread on this right now. It's interesting

1107
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 1: the athletic profile that Kentucky presents that Ole Miss will

1108
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 1: have not seen all year. Kentucky certainly will have not

1109
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 1: seen anything like Old missus offense all year. And I

1110
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:53,759
Speaker 1: would include Georgia in that group right now, depending on

1111
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 1: the way those two teams have played, Can you sell

1112
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 1: me on this game being close in.

1113
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:00,879
Speaker 2: The fourth quarter or do you think the numbers right?

1114
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:06,399
Speaker 3: Oh? Absolutely, number one. Early kick on the road I

1115
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:10,759
Speaker 3: think oftentimes benefits the team that travel yep. And there's

1116
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 3: a lot of different ways around that. But the way

1117
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:15,839
Speaker 3: I used to see it as a player was we

1118
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 3: knew when we went on the road the schedule was

1119
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 3: gonna be different and gonna be weird and just not

1120
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 3: to your liking, so to speak. Because when you play

1121
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,799
Speaker 3: at home, you know the hotel. Like we went out

1122
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 3: to Opalaiko, watched a movie, then we went to Lagrange

1123
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 3: and we stayed at the same little days In or

1124
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 3: whatever it was, and then we got on the bus

1125
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:33,279
Speaker 3: and we came back routine. Even if the time were

1126
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:35,480
Speaker 3: a little bit different, we were familiar and we knew it.

1127
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:37,840
Speaker 3: We'd go on the road. We didn't know exactly what

1128
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:39,840
Speaker 3: hotel we were staying at that year, we didn't know

1129
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:41,840
Speaker 3: how long it was going to take the bus there. Necessarily,

1130
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 3: it was just all gonna be different, So you mentally

1131
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 3: prepared for that. I think when you're at home and

1132
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 3: you play at eleven, all of a sudden, you're waking

1133
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:50,479
Speaker 3: up at like five point fifteen for a home game,

1134
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:53,319
Speaker 3: and you're thinking to yourself, this is my reward. I

1135
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 3: put all this work in for this. And you're a

1136
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 3: college kid and you're waking up at five forty five

1137
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:00,800
Speaker 3: or five fifteen to go play a football game. Crowd's

1138
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:02,680
Speaker 3: not going to be as into it. You're not gonna

1139
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 3: be as loose feeling yourself as much because you didn't

1140
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 3: get to watch game day and you didn't watch a

1141
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 3: couple other games before you got out there to go.

1142
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 3: So I think that benefits the road team. And then

1143
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:14,880
Speaker 3: to think stylistically, what teams would you just imagine operate

1144
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 3: better in the morning. Probably more run first, physical football

1145
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 3: teams that want to welcome a fight. You're flashy, throw

1146
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:23,720
Speaker 3: the ball around, have to catch the ball, timing plays

1147
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:25,600
Speaker 3: like That's probably what you would think would struggle a

1148
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:27,799
Speaker 3: little bit more in the mornings. So and then two,

1149
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:29,919
Speaker 3: I think the matchup when you look at it, this

1150
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 3: is an old veteran physical defensive line weaver off the edge,

1151
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:37,640
Speaker 3: it can rush the passer. You've got Oxen done. And

1152
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:39,319
Speaker 3: some of those guys in the middle that can be

1153
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 3: super physical and be problematic. The Old miss offensive line

1154
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 3: has not played great football yet, they just haven't pre

1155
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 3: scorned and the tight end group have. The Old Lin's

1156
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:50,439
Speaker 3: played some good football individually but not together as a unit.

1157
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 3: And Brad White does an amazing job. He's extremely underrated

1158
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:57,480
Speaker 3: and undervalued, and how he mixes things up on the

1159
00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:00,319
Speaker 3: back end. They have all upperclassmen in the secondary, and

1160
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 3: they've taken Alex Afari and put him down at linebacker,

1161
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 3: So now you don't really have to exchange when you

1162
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 3: go nickel. You can just have your Sam right there

1163
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 3: and he goes and plays nickel or he comes in

1164
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:12,799
Speaker 3: and plays linebacker. So that can mess with maybe what

1165
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:14,400
Speaker 3: you're doing and trying how your match things up a

1166
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 3: little more as well. So I think if that offensive

1167
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 3: line for Kentucky just holds up against Walter Nolan and

1168
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 3: Pegeese and those guys, this absolutely could be a closer

1169
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:23,520
Speaker 3: game than people believe.

1170
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 1: Is Mississippi State Texas gonna be close? That's the game

1171
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 1: you're doing.

1172
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 3: It feels like it's gonna be very difficult for that

1173
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:34,440
Speaker 3: to happen, considering you have a true freshman quarterback in

1174
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 3: an offense that puts a lot on the quarterback, and

1175
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 3: Jeff Levi's offense does so. I would imagine you're gonna

1176
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:42,280
Speaker 3: try to lean on a couple of good running backs,

1177
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 3: and even you have good wide receivers that can help

1178
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:46,360
Speaker 3: you with catch and run, a lot of quick throws,

1179
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:48,320
Speaker 3: and then if you get manned up on the outside

1180
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:50,479
Speaker 3: with maybe a single safety, you take those shot plays

1181
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 3: utilized quarterbacks legs. But I'll tell you this, watching Texas,

1182
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 3: studying Texas, Josh their number one team the nation for

1183
00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:56,919
Speaker 3: a reason.

1184
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1185
00:55:57,520 --> 00:55:59,360
Speaker 3: I mean they have receivers that have a ton of juice,

1186
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 3: tight ends that can play, tight ends that are physical,

1187
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:05,040
Speaker 3: an offensive line that will beat you up, an offensive

1188
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:07,880
Speaker 3: wizard calling the plays. And I think they can win

1189
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 3: with either quarterback. I really do. Arch has to learn

1190
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:13,880
Speaker 3: how to not be as so. He's a risk taker.

1191
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 3: He will throw the ball into spots that he should

1192
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:18,280
Speaker 3: not throw the football into. I think he just believes

1193
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:19,879
Speaker 3: he can get it there. He's got a great arm.

1194
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 3: I love his poise. I love the fact that he'll

1195
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:24,520
Speaker 3: standing there and absolutely get sold in half and try

1196
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:26,840
Speaker 3: to deliver a football down the field. Now, he's not

1197
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:31,279
Speaker 3: as capable of you know, some of the shenanigans and

1198
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:33,720
Speaker 3: wizardry that Quinn yours is of the side arm stuff

1199
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 3: and the quick getting the ball out and floating it

1200
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 3: over people. You know, Quinn's a little bit more point

1201
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:41,720
Speaker 3: guardish than arches. Arch is a little bit more super

1202
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,600
Speaker 3: down and fundamental technical quarterback, like deliver the ball to

1203
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:46,719
Speaker 3: the exact place where you're supposed to even though it

1204
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:49,359
Speaker 3: hadn't always been there. And the run game is something

1205
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:51,400
Speaker 3: that's undergraded. We all thought that was gonna be a problem, right,

1206
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:53,439
Speaker 3: I mean I downgraded Texas going end of the year

1207
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 3: because they lost all these running backs. Jayden Blue is

1208
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:59,120
Speaker 3: a bulldozer right now, so and the defensive line has

1209
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:00,919
Speaker 3: more twitch off the edge and it did a year ago.

1210
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 3: They filled the voyage inside very well. It's not exactly

1211
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:06,320
Speaker 3: the same, but it's not a liability. They have linebackers

1212
00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 3: that can get sidelines to sideline, So it's just a

1213
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:12,759
Speaker 3: That's what we talked last week about Texas, and everybody said, well,

1214
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:14,960
Speaker 3: what about other people who match up with my hord on?

1215
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 3: What about how other teams are gonna match up with Texas?

1216
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 3: It's not about how does Texas match up with these

1217
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:22,280
Speaker 3: other teams? Like that's kind of where they are right now.

1218
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 1: So what I'm gonna do here is, as we sign off,

1219
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 1: I want people to listen in the live chat. I'm

1220
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 1: not just gonna tell you it's Cube show on YouTube.
