Speaker 1: FSR betting analyst Jared Smith.

12
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 3: Oh, good morning, Welcome in, Happy Saturday.

13
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 2: It is man.

14
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 3: We got ranked versus ranked all over the place in

15
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 3: college football today. I'll tell you what I was thinking

16
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 3: right before the show, that there are two ends of

17
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 3: the spectrum. At least last night there were on the

18
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 3: high end. There would be a time on the low end.

19
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 3: That would be Miami quarterback Carson Beck. That was a

20
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 3: rough one last night for the you. My goodness, I

21
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 3: don't know what it is. I don't know what's in

22
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 3: the water down there with the Miami Hurricanes and Mario

23
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 3: Christopaul routinely just losing to a team they have no

24
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 3: business losing to their home favorites. By thirteen and a half,

25
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 3: they lose outright, Carson Beck throws four interceptions. It's a

26
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 3: big loss for Miami. Their playoff hopes are right there

27
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 3: in front of them. But yet again, I don't know

28
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,559
Speaker 3: why this continues to happen to christ ball coach teams.

29
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 3: They will look dominant in multiple games at the beginning

30
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 3: of the season, and it's just like that girl where

31
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 3: you're like, I can't put my thumb on it, but

32
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 3: there's something I just don't trust about this scirl. That's Miami,

33
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 3: And yet again they proved anyone thinking like that, right.

34
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Well, I mean that's college football this season.

35
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 2: To be perfectly honest with you, I mean, I wish

36
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: I could say it's just Miami. And there are definitely

37
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: head coaches. There's definitely football programs historically that it feels

38
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: like can't get out of their own way, and maybe

39
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: the U is an example of one of those. But

40
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 2: I digress on the individual accolades that we can hand

41
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 2: to any one given program. To just focus on the

42
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five college football season for a second and say,

43
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 2: what the hell is in the water. What's in the

44
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: water across America? Everybody can beat anybody. It doesn't matter

45
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,119
Speaker 2: if it's unranked Miami or excuse me, Louisville taking down

46
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 2: a second rank Miami. It doesn't matter if it's a

47
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 2: you know, a Penn State getting knocked off by Northwestern,

48
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 2: or on the road to a UCLA who's favored by

49
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: or excuse me, who's dogged by a million. It's just

50
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: the way this football season has gone. If you are

51
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 2: close to or in the top five, it's hunting season

52
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: this year. I mean, it almost benefits you not to

53
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 2: be a top ranked team in the country right now,

54
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 2: because you're gonna be embarrassed. I mean, think about on

55
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 2: this side of it, everybody feels like, oh, it's normal

56
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 2: that Indiana has an enormous win under their belt because

57
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: now they have an eleven million dollar man as their

58
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 2: head coach. But before Indiana went out to Eugene and

59
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 2: beat the Ducks, there were a lot of people in

60
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 2: the country thinking that'll never happen, that can happen. Well,

61
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 2: guess what, in twenty twenty five, it did. So I

62
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 2: don't know, man, I mean, it doesn't matter. It doesn't

63
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 2: matter who you are, It doesn't matter where you're ranked,

64
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter how good you think you are it's

65
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: hunting season this year.

66
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what's happening in Miami. We've talked about

67
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:45,839
Speaker 4: it before, guys.

68
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 2: It's a severe.

69
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 4: Case of TSS tight sphincter syndrome. I mean this is

70
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 4: not new with mister crystaball down there. Yeah, to Rich's point,

71
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 4: like we're in the parody era, I think Ohio State's

72
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 4: maybe above it all. Maybe. I think maybe they're the

73
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 4: one team. They're one of the few that have undefeated

74
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 4: against the spread this year. Texas Tech's another one, and

75
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 4: I think Memphis. I think those are your three teams

76
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 4: that you know, good teams win, great teams cover, right,

77
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 4: can you meet the expectation every week that has set

78
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 4: forth on you by us quote unquote Vegas people. Ohio

79
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 4: State has passed every test so far, so as Memphis

80
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 4: and so as Texas Tech. We'll see if that continues.

81
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 4: I think the latter two certainly some volatility. I feel

82
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 4: pretty comfortable, guys, feel pretty comfortable here in mid October

83
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 4: saying that Ohio State is the best team in college

84
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 4: football yet again? How about that?

85
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 3: Well that was crazy right going into last night, Miami

86
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 3: had thirteen first place votes.

87
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 5: That's that's decent amount right there, and.

88
00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 3: Yeahs, no loss, no moss in Miami. Before we get

89
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 3: to more of college football headlines, just for a second,

90
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 3: the night that was with Otani, my lord, six plus

91
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 3: innings pitched, he strikes out ten, which would be a

92
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 3: stud performance just based on its own.

93
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 5: Then he just added, uh, I'll just hit three home runs.

94
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 3: I'll go three for three and go yard three times,

95
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 3: including a shot that traveled nearly four hundred and seventy feet.

96
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 5: That's insanity.

97
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 3: And you know, you get all the headlines and all

98
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 3: the columns like the is this the greatest playoff?

99
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 5: Yes, yes it is. Yes.

100
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 3: The only way you could say something was better is

101
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 3: if it was on the World Series stage, you know

102
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 3: what I mean? And it's like the perfect game that

103
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 3: the Don Lars.

104
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 4: Give it a week, I never know.

105
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 5: That's fine. If it's on a bigger stage, I get it.

106
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 3: But if we're just talking playoff performances individual, how do

107
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 3: you top that? How do you top six plus innings,

108
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 3: ten strikeouts and three home runs? And he was ice

109
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 3: cold hitting and man he broke out. That's a scary,

110
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 3: scary thought for whoever comes out of the al which

111
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 3: is possibly a hot Otani from the plate hitting on

112
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 3: top of all that starting pitching. Man, I'll tell you

113
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 3: Brewers fans, they're gonna wake up with nightmares if someone

114
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 3: just says, hey, hey, Dodger starting pitching, they'll be like,

115
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 3: you know, they couldn't do anything.

116
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 5: All series is they get swept.

117
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 3: Hats off to the starting pitching and especially Otani last

118
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 3: night that was unbelievable.

119
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, what Joe Otani is doing right now isn't

120
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 2: just special. It's once in a century stuff. I want

121
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 2: to say, once in a lifetime stuff. But you may

122
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 2: live two lifetimes and not see something like him again.

123
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 2: You can't even compare him to anybody in the game today.

124
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 2: The guy's dominating as a hitter. He's dominating as a

125
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 2: pitcher on the biggest stage possible. Now, Like you said,

126
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 2: he can only best what he's doing right now if

127
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 2: he could replicate it in a World Series game or

128
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 2: in a clinching World Series game. But I mean, like,

129
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 2: how much more can we ask from a player? He

130
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: is dominant from two different parts of the game that

131
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 2: it has rarely ever seen a player able capable to

132
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 2: be dominant from. They've literally rewritten the rules about baseball

133
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 2: in the major leagues to basically usher in this era

134
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 2: of Otani. I don't think enough people are valuing what

135
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 2: he's done so far. I think there's gonna be more

136
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 2: and more people as the you know, the Dodgers continue

137
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 2: to have more success who catch up to the storyline.

138
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 2: It almost feels like a young Tiger Woods. You remember

139
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 2: how a lot of people didn't buy into the storyline

140
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 2: until he was winning Masters after masters and major after major,

141
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: and it felt like there was this enormous like wave

142
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 2: of support that came in later in his career. That

143
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 2: that's what it feels like. It's going to have to

144
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 2: be with show Hao Tani too, because what he's doing

145
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: has no precedent, Like when people say, you know, just

146
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 2: like Babe Ruth. No, not just like Babe Ruth, better

147
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 2: than Babe Ruth, better than Babe Ruth. We have no

148
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 2: precedent for what show Hao Tani is doing. It is marvelous,

149
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 2: and that's what you should do when you watch Shoeo Tani,

150
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 2: especially when he's performing the way he did, you have

151
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: to just marvel at it.

152
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 4: Do you guys watch the Office? Uh? Yeah, there's a

153
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 4: famous quote or a famous quote in the Office from

154
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 4: Andy Bernard for those the Nard Dog Office fans will

155
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 4: understand this. I wish there was a way to know

156
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 4: you're in the good old days before you've actually left them. Yeah,

157
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 4: I think that's what Yeah, us as broadcasters can hopefully

158
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 4: frame for you. We are in the golden days right now,

159
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 4: the prime of the best player of all times career.

160
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 4: We're in it right now. You're in the prime of

161
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 4: show Aotani's career, the best baseball player of all time.

162
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 4: And I feel very comfortable saying that just because of

163
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 4: how far athletically nutritionally these players have advanced since the

164
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 4: Bay birth days. Like we're just in a completely different

165
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 4: era of athletics where everything is heightened, you know, like

166
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 4: Babe Ruth was so much better than the average player,

167
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 4: but the average player back then was so much worse

168
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 4: than the average player is now, where the average pitcher

169
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 4: today is throwing ninety five miles an hour like the

170
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 4: average pitcher.

171
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 2: So it just.

172
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 4: I can't frame it to you enough, just how awesome

173
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 4: it is to be living on this timeline with Otani

174
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 4: doing this and us being able to be in the

175
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 4: middle of it, and you know, we're hosting a show

176
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 4: on National radio the morning after after we do, you know,

177
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 4: just an awesome, just incredible performance. So it's cool, like

178
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 4: honestly as this is more me as a fan, just

179
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 4: like kind of like trying to soak in what we're

180
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 4: watching right now and try to can captualize it. Because

181
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 4: he is the greatest player of our time for sure,

182
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 4: maybe of all time, and he is in his prime

183
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 4: right now and he's showing it to you. It is

184
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 4: awesome to watch.

185
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 5: No, it's a great point.

186
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 3: I'm glad that you made it, because it's an endless

187
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 3: search for what's next. You know, especially sports betting wise,

188
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 3: you can't bet, you can't bet on what just happened.

189
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 3: You're looking for the next thing constantly.

190
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 5: It's like what's next, what's next?

191
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 3: But sometimes you have to stop and appreciate what's now.

192
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 3: I always say this at the end of the football season,

193
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl is just played. We crown whoever we crown,

194
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 3: and immediately it's like, here are the odds for the

195
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 3: next next year's Can we just take a breath and

196
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 3: appreciate what just happened?

197
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 2: Right?

198
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 5: I think he can't lose that.

199
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 3: There's nothing wrong with looking for what's next, but you

200
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 3: can't be so beholden to that. You totally miss what's now. So, yeah,

201
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 3: you gotta appreciate Otani for what we're seeing.

202
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 5: It's historic stuff.

203
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 3: It's crazy, okay. And uh, last, but not Lee, We've

204
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 3: got to rip the band aid off yet again. Penn

205
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 3: State goes down to.

206
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 5: North freaking Western week my.

207
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 3: Gosh, yes, and James Franklin gets fired. Crazy where his

208
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 3: record in his twelfth season, right, nearly twelve seasons at

209
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 3: Penn State one oh four and forty five, and his

210
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 3: buyout was forty five million dollars, which I find to

211
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 3: be a little bit striking, right, their second biggest buyout

212
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 3: in college football history. And now the bad news is

213
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 3: you got this four star and that four star.

214
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 5: This quarterback's like, yeah, I'm not gonna go there. Got

215
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 5: I love this.

216
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 3: A four star safety said At this time, I am

217
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 3: still committed to the current staff at Penn State. However,

218
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 3: due to the recent changes and uncertainty, I have decided

219
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 3: to reopen my recruitment.

220
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 5: D's like saying, no, no, girl, I'm.

221
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 2: Committed to you.

222
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 3: I just want to talk to other girls, that's all.

223
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 3: But I'm committed. I am so comp I just want

224
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 3: to talk to them, that's a that's what these guys

225
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:06,119
Speaker 3: are doing at Penn State. Meanwhile, connected to this, Indiana's

226
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 3: head coach Kurt Signetti, he signs an eight year, ninety

227
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 3: three million dollar extension. So no Signetti going to Penn State.

228
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 3: And you're gonna see that. It's going to be commonplace.

229
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 3: A lot of guys like Denzel at the end of

230
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 3: training day who want to get paid, right like all

231
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 3: these coaches that might be in line for the Penn

232
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 3: State offering, They're gonna get paid big time like Signetti,

233
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 3: but Penn State looking for a new guy. What do

234
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 3: you guys think fired mid season?

235
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's pretty incredible what expectations can do to

236
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 2: a program. We were just talking about really how we

237
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 2: live in What's Next culture, Brian and I think this

238
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 2: is a perfect example. It is very hard to appreciate

239
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 2: what you have now when your eyes are on the future.

240
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 2: And I think there were a lot of people at

241
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 2: Penn State who, even when Penn State was still on

242
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 2: the rise, weren't appreciating the fact of where Penn State

243
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 2: was coming from when they started the James Franklin era

244
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 2: and where he was taking them to. And then when

245
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 2: Penn State was on top and they were having the

246
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 2: success that Franklin created. Culturally, there were complaints that he

247
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 2: wasn't getting it done against teams and in spots that

248
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 2: mattered the most to the program's fortunes. And this season, obviously,

249
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 2: he took a slide that was unprecedented in his own

250
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 2: career and maybe in Penn State history. To be perfectly

251
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 2: honest with you, I mean, I don't know if you

252
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 2: could name a three game stretch where expectations were so

253
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 2: high where the performances have been so poor. But I

254
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 2: digress on the historical context. Just to bring us back

255
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 2: to the moment, what coach is going to come in

256
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 2: and do automatically do a better job than James Franklin.

257
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 2: They better get that right. This board of direct there's

258
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 2: this board of trustees, these people who are in charge

259
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 2: of hiring the next head coach, the consultants that Penn

260
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 2: State are going to use the Athletic department that they're

261
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 2: going to use to go headhunting and find whatever viable

262
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 2: candidates they can fill. James Franklin's very large shoes, because

263
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 2: that guy has had a lot of success at this program,

264
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 2: both from a recruitment standpoint and a winning standpoint. Now again,

265
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 2: was he able to get over the top. Did he

266
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 2: bring home a national championship?

267
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 4: No?

268
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 2: Did he fail in a lot of big moments. Yeah,

269
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 2: the record is the record. But I always think about

270
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 2: this when I think about life, when I think about,

271
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 2: you know, situations in sports. The grass always seems so

272
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 2: much greener when you're sitting in the outfield of this

273
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 2: baseball field and you're looking over the outfield fence at

274
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 2: that baseball field, It's like, oh, we just need to

275
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 2: go over there because look how oh they got freshly

276
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 2: manicured everything. And it's just like, well, what happens if

277
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 2: you get out there and you realize, oh, no, you

278
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 2: know there's some rocks in this infield dirt. Oh yeah,

279
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 2: you know what, they have a gopher problem over here.

280
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 2: You know what. The landscaper at this baseball field, man,

281
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 2: he's kind of mean to us. It always looks better

282
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 2: from this side of the fence. So just be careful

283
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 2: what you wish for. I mean, that's kind of giving

284
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 2: advice too late to a team that's already made a

285
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 2: mid season firing. It may have been a knee jerk reaction.

286
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 2: It may have been necessary. I don't know, but I

287
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 2: do know. We're living in the what's next time, and

288
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 2: Penn State they already want to see what's next, and

289
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 2: it ain't gonna be Kurt Signetti because Indiana just made

290
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 2: him the highest paid coach in Indiana history. And he's

291
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 2: not going anywhere until it seems like at very least

292
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 2: a late you know, twenty twenties, if not the twenty thirties,

293
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 2: if they extend him beyond this.

294
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, where do we start here? Let's start with the buyout.

295
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 4: I think the buyout is a headline at this point.

296
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 4: I don't think Penn State's going to be on the

297
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 4: hook for all of the money. There's an insurance clause,

298
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 4: there's a mitigate clause, Like there's all these little, you know,

299
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 4: back channel clauses that they built into this whopper of

300
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 4: a contract because you know, financial people will do financial things.

301
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 4: Like the insurance clause apparently states that if you lose

302
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 4: a certain amount of games, the like Penn State's been

303
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 4: paying an insurance company premiums on this contract, and if

304
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 4: you lose a certain amount of games, the premiums kick in,

305
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 4: and if they fire him, the premium the insurance company

306
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 4: will cover part of it, and then of course they'll

307
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 4: he finds another job, that salary will then be reduced

308
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 4: from the overall payout. And again, it's an annual buyout.

309
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 4: They're not giving him a fifty million dollars lump sum.

310
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 4: He gets paid per year. And everyone who's worked in

311
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 4: any financial industry knows when you stretch out money over time,

312
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 4: it's not as big of a hit. Eight million per

313
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 4: year sounds a lot better than fifty million. Here you go,

314
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 4: here's your check. So there's a way around Penn State

315
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:55,119
Speaker 4: getting absolutely obliterated by this buyout. I think the headline

316
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 4: of fifty million is just for clicks. Now let's get

317
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 4: to the firing. I agreed with the firing, but you

318
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 4: have to have someone to replace him. This has been

319
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 4: going on in my Penn State group chat for years.

320
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 4: I have fired James Franklin one hundred times in this

321
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 4: Penn State group chat for the last decade. The question

322
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 4: that we always get back to, that always stops us

323
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 4: dead in our tracks is who are we hiring to

324
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 4: replace him. It's not a coincidence that Kurt Signetti and

325
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 4: Lane Kiff and both got fat raises this week. That

326
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 4: is not a coincidence. They leveraged whoever the agents are.

327
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 4: Maybe it was Kurt, maybe it was Laying Individually. They

328
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 4: leverage this firing higher than Crypto, like it was leveraged

329
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 4: to the max and credit on them. Listen, that's a

330
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 4: ball or move. You see an opening for an opportunity

331
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 4: to get money, you get your money. I don't know

332
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 4: who they're gonna hire now. It's probably gonna be Matt Ruhle.

333
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 4: I hate that hire. It's a lateral move. Even if

334
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 4: you bring Rayola with him, it's still a lateral move.

335
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 4: Maybe they go coordinator route and they go spicy young coordinator.

336
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 4: I like Buster Faulkner what he's doing at Georgia Tech.

337
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 4: I mean, there's some names out there that are solid,

338
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 4: but Signetti was the guy. Signetti the guy that can

339
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 4: come in right away and turn the program on its

340
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 4: head immediately. He wins Google him. But now that he's

341
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,479
Speaker 4: not on the table, I think all of them are

342
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 4: going to be settling.

343
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 3: Brian, Yeah, hey man, it's it's just kind of wild.

344
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 3: We've even gotten to this point. At the beginning of

345
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 3: the season, it was look at Penn State's talent.

346
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 5: They are just.

347
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 3: Oozing with talent all over them. How does this team

348
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 3: not win a championship? And now it's this, It's like, wow,

349
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 3: holy cow, but here we are here, we are man

350
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 3: embrace these times.

351
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 5: Penn State fans.

352
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 4: Pikes fink their syndrome is a real thing, guys. James

353
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 4: Franklin had a bad case of it.

354
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, no doubt.

355
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 3: I'd rather go out aggressively, you know, instead of being

356
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 3: tight careful, just go down swinging. And they certainly did

357
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 3: not think about the first half against Oregon. How many

358
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 3: yards do they have? So conservative, so careful, That's not

359
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 3: the way I'd want to go down. And unfortunately for

360
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 3: James Franklin, at least in the final year, that's how

361
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 3: he went down. So and anyway, we move on, We

362
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 3: press forward over here with Rich Ornberger, Penn State All

392

Speaker 5: Right, third Saturday in October.

393
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 3: That means Tennessee against Bama, and Bama man money's pouring

394
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 3: in on the Crimson Tad. They're up to nine and

395
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 3: a half point favorites against Tennessee. And maybe that has

396
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 3: something to do with Tennessee can't stop anyone.

397
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 5: Maybe I don't know.

398
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 3: Look at the points that they've given up this year

399
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 3: in games twenty four points given up, twenty six, thirty one.

400
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 5: Thirty four, forty four. Yikes.

401
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 3: Their defense has regressed big time. They played really really

402
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 3: solid defense last season they allowed about sixteen points per

403
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 3: Now they're allowing over twenty nine points per game. And

404
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 3: so against this Alabama offense, at least this passing offense

405
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 3: is scary to stop. The one thing though at Alabama

406
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 3: has not been able to run the ball effectively, and

407
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 3: now jam Miller is questionable. He got a concussion in

408
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter last week against Missouri, so he's questionable today.

409
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 3: So that's the question is can Bama be one dimensional

410
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 3: and still just be a hot knife through butter against Tennessee.

411
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 3: Maybe they might be able to. But when you're just

412
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 3: one dimensional, routinely. There are gonna be games like last week.

413
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 3: You know, ty Simpson was not prolific. He was good

414
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 3: through for two hundred yards. When you're just one dimensional,

415
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,479
Speaker 3: there are gonna be times where it's gonna be a

416
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 3: scary type situation where you even trying to survive the game.

417
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 6: You know.

418
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 3: I don't think that happens today, but something to keep

419
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:50,719
Speaker 3: in mind with Bama going forward.

420
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, no question about it. I feel like Bama and

421
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 2: Tennessee actually struggles from some similar things this year. Feels

422
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 2: like their offenses are pretty well buttoned up. Although Bama

423
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 2: it's different than how it's looked in the past. Alabama,

424
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 2: we're used to seeing quarterbacks play in a system where

425
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 2: you're really relying on the running game, and that is

426
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 2: a staple of the offense, and they just sort of

427
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 2: sprinkle in the play action pass and they try to

428
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 2: play clutch in big moments. And that was sort of

429
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 2: the Nick Saban way to win football games. Control the

430
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 2: field with field position in great defense. And we've graduated

431
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 2: obviously from that to the de Boor years here with

432
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 2: the Crimson side, and then you look at Tennessee, who's

433
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 2: defense absolutely has taken an amazing step backwards from last season.

434
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 2: That was really the hallmark of their team for the

435
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 2: Valls last year, and now it's been their offense, which

436
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 2: has improved in a great deal. You know, they got

437
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 2: this transfer in from Appalachian State. He's been playing well.

438
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 2: Their offense is averaging double digits more than they did

439
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 2: last year points per game wise, and his play has

440
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 2: really buoyed them. But yeah, not a ton of defense

441
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 2: to speak of, So this feels like a game where

442
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 2: the total could be in play on the overside. Yeah,

443
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:17,239
Speaker 2: it's tough though, because these are top ranked teams, and

444
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 2: sometimes in these matchups teams can play tight when they

445
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 2: know there's a lot of eyes on them. But you know,

446
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 2: in terms of the spread, could I see Tennessee keeping

447
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 2: it close? Yeah, you know, I know a lot of

448
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 2: money tends to pour in on the Crimson Tide, So

449
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 2: taking dogs against the Tide and especially these days, maybe

450
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 2: not a terrible idea. But I'm more looking at the

451
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 2: over potentially hitting here. Yeah, there's a few things here.

452
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,719
Speaker 4: First of all, this bread was thirteen over the summer,

453
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 4: so at nine and a half now you're getting a discount. Albama,

454
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 4: for sure, a lot of people like Tennessee too. There

455
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 4: are a lot of public dogs this week in college football.

456
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 4: If you're an underdog in the SEC, odds are the

457
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 4: public likes you. That's what the vibe that I'm getting

458
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 4: from our market friends at bet MGM this week. I

459
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 4: think this is a fascinating matchup because I think the

460
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 4: way Tennessee wants to play defense is not a good

461
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 4: idea against against Bama. Tennessee likes to play man to

462
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 4: man and I don't think that is a favorable matchup

463
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 4: for their corners against these Bama receivers. What I see

464
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 4: on TATE when I watched Tennessee's defense really good in

465
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 4: the box. Jordan Ross, their edge rusher, five star Kittie

466
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 4: forced to fumble last week. He's a You know, they

467
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 4: can create havoc with their front, but their secondary is

468
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 4: a disaster. Big issues with tackling bad angles, not getting

469
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 4: off blocks. They cannot get guys on the ground in

470
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 4: the secondary. So Bama has I think the best trio

471
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 4: of receivers in the country and they played well last week. Listen,

472
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 4: I mean Ty Simpson on the road early start at Mazoo.

473
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 4: You had one of your weapons get hurt on the

474
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 4: first drive. Then jam Miller got knocked out with a

475
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 4: concussion in the second half. He still went twenty three

476
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 4: to thirty one, three touchdowns, no picks. He had the

477
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 4: weird fumble on the sack where his own guy ran

478
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,360
Speaker 4: into him in the pocket and he fumbled the ball.

479
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 4: That was the one mistake he made, but it was

480
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 4: kind of fluky, and Bama had a two score lead

481
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 4: late Missouri, you know, snuck through the back door. Like

482
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 4: I honestly, I thought Bama played a really good football

483
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 4: game last week. They had almost forty minutes time of possession.

484
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 4: They're a Boa constrictor right now. They will squeeze the

485
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 4: life out of you. Why because they're good in the

486
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 4: run game. They'll They're very comfortable going first down, run,

487
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 4: second down, run, third and short. Go make a play

488
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 4: Ty Simpson because he's made all the plays this year.

489
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 4: He made a throw on fourth down last week, probably

490
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 4: the best throw of the season that any quarterback has made.

491
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 4: So I think this Bama team is still top of

492
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 4: class good and now you're getting a bit of a discount.

493
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 4: So I still feel bullish. I mean, maybe I'll die

494
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 4: on the Bama hill this year. Like I think this

495
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 4: is the best team in the country outside of Ohio State.

496
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 4: I think Ty Simpsons QB one in the Heisman race

497
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 4: right now, and I am a Bama believer this year.

498
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:59,239
Speaker 3: You are, man, you love Ty Simpson also, and I

499
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 3: get it right, played really well outside of the first game.

500
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 3: It's so weird to look back at the Florida State lost.

501
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 3: Now look where Florida State is and look where Bama

502
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 3: went from that first game of the season.

503
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 5: But it's still a tough schedule.

504
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 3: You know, you get Tennessee today, you get a couple

505
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 3: other home games LSU, Oklahoma at Auburn to close things out.

506
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 5: I don't know, man, you call me crazy. Maybe I'm too.

507
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 3: Beholden to last season, but I still get crystal Ball

508
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 3: Miami vibes with this Alabama team, just in terms of

509
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 3: I can't fully trust them.

510
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 5: I just can't.

511
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, based on how many double digit favorites have they been,

512
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 3: how many times have they been at double digit favorite

513
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 3: and lost outright under Kaylin Debor, it looks like they're

514
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 3: headed in the right direction. Maybe it was just you know,

515
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 3: you know, first year snaff foos or working everything out

516
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 3: and things are gonna be much better going forward. I

517
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 3: just I gotta see more to fully fully trust them.

518
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 3: I don't think that's undy flare.

519
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 2: I think I think some of it is because they

520
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 2: stumbled out the gate against Florida State. Because when you

521
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:09,239
Speaker 2: really start recounting their games, and I just did, I

522
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 2: was looking at their schedule and I was sort of

523
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 2: marveling at how good they've been since then. They rattled

524
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,199
Speaker 2: off five wins in a row. They've had three straight

525
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 2: wins against top twenty teams in Georgia, Vanderbilt, Missouri. Look,

526
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 2: Ty Simpson didn't look great to start this season, but

527
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 2: he's he's starting to look really great. He completed seventy

528
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 2: one percent of his passes so far this season in

529
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 2: just one turnover. I mean, that's pretty damn good. That's

530
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 2: pretty damn good. So I mean, when when you really

531
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 2: think about where they're at and where they started, you

532
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 2: can you can trust that Alabama is a good football team.

533
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 2: Are they great? Though? And that is the measure that well, frankly,

534
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what got the penn Stead Penn State

535
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 2: head coach fired, right, I mean, are we great? That

536
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 2: is such a tough question to answer, and the only

537
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 2: thing that's going to answer it is the results. You know,

538
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 2: I'm sure there were a lot of Penn State alumni

539
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,199
Speaker 2: who said, yeah, we're really good, but are we great?

540
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 2: Is this the guy who can make us great? And

541
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 2: we have our answer? Now obviously he's they've moved on

542
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 2: from him. But that is the struggle. When you are

543
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 2: a top program and you're producing good results, it is

544
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 2: so hard to trust the results until you see the

545
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 2: end product. And that's why it's so difficult to handicap

546
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 2: football games. And that's why you know, shows like ours

547
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 2: are are are popular because we're really trying to dive

548
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 2: in and give you what we know about this game

549
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 2: from a football analyst standpoint or a betting standpoint. But

550
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 2: the reality is Bama doesn't even know who they are yet.

551
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 2: I mean, if you think about it, this is ty Simms.

552
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 2: Simpson's first spin on the roulette wheel as a starting

553
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 2: quarter back with a major amount of stress and pressure

554
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 2: on his plate. At this level, you have a head

555
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 2: coach who's still settling into the role after replacing Nick Sabin.

556
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 2: Nick Saban will go down as one of the greatest

557
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 2: football coaches of all time, you know what I mean,

558
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 2: Like they will be saying his name in fifty years.

559
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 2: That's how impactful he was. Imagine those type of shoes

560
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 2: to fill in for kaitaln de Bor. This program still

561
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 2: doesn't even know who they are yet from an identity

562
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 2: standpoint year to year, and they're discovering that as they

563
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 2: move forward. So to handicap these games, or for me

564
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 2: to sit here and tell you that, oh yeah, Alabama, Brian,

565
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 2: you could trust them. They don't even know if they

566
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 2: could trust themselves yet.

567
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 4: Man, you guys are tough critics on Bababad. Wow, does

568
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 4: Kaylen Debor have a more talented or alster than he

569
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 4: did twenty twenty three Washington when he went to the

570
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 4: National Championship game.

571
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 5: I would argue, yeah, yeah, but he's in the SEC.

572
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, Okay, is it though, Like I mean, because I

573
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 7: think we're asking if we can trust it? Is I disagreed,

574
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 7: because I think we're asking if we can trust him

575
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 7: to raise the level of his talent past his station.

576
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 7: That team for Washington was not expected to be a

577
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 7: top five team.

578
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 4: Not expecting. We were waiting for them to lose every

579
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 4: week we kept betting against them. That was a completely

580
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 4: unexpected run. He raised the level of his talent. That's

581
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 4: what great coaches do they raised the level of their

582
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 4: talent past their station. Bama has arguably the best roster

583
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 4: in the country. That's what everyone told me coming in.

584
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 4: They have the most five stars on their too deep.

585
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 4: If he is able to raise that level of talent,

586
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 4: then how what is the ceiling for this Bama team?

587
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 4: I tweeted out a couple of weeks ago, I said,

588
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 4: we're gonna look back on the season and we're gonna say,

589
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 4: how the heck did Florida State be Bama by two scores?

590
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 4: And we're starting We're already to Brian already said it today.

591
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 4: How did that happen? Weird Fluci game? You go back

592
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 4: to last year. Last year was the transition year. You

593
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 4: inherit Jaln Milroe, who is not the style of quarterback

594
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 4: that Kaitlin de Bore wants to play with, and you

595
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 4: still win nine games and almost make the playoff. Now

596
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,239
Speaker 4: you get the quarterback that you actually want with your

597
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 4: comfortable OC back in town, and now you're starting to

598
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 4: see the ceiling. Listen, I'm wrong all the time. I'm

599
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 4: not saying BAM is gonna win the national championship, but

600
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 4: I think you guys are giving them a bad rap.

601
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 4: What they've done the last three weeks. They've won at Georgia,

602
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 4: where no one's won in six years. They beat Vandy

603
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,719
Speaker 4: in a revenge game, covered the spread, and then they

604
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 4: went to Missouri and if ty Simson doesn't get stepped

605
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,479
Speaker 4: on on the goal line, they probably cover that number two.

606
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 4: But they still won the game. Like, I mean, what

607
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 4: else does Bama have to do? Miami's losing to Louisville, Like,

608
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 4: what else does Bama have to do at this point

609
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 4: to prove to you guys that they're an elite football team.

610
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 5: Or they have to do more? I don't know what

611
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 5: you want.

612
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 3: Beating Georgia, Vandy, Missouri great, that's good. I'm not saying

613
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 3: it's not. It says I can't forget about last season,

614
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 3: whether it's losing the Vandy and it's losing to this

615
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 3: other team.

616
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 5: Is it's about last year?

617
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 2: Though?

618
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 3: I do I care about it because I don't trust. Like, okay,

619
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 3: we'll put it in uh, I don't know. Let's put

620
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 3: it in dating terms. Okay, you go out with this

621
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 3: girl and she gives you a reason to not trust her,

622
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 3: and then she gives you another reason to not trust

623
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 3: and she gives you another reason enough, that was.

624
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 4: Last year, Brian. Don't you get a clean slate, new season,

625
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 4: new quarterback, new offensive coordinator. You're you're you're beholden to

626
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 4: last year's numbers. And I think that is a mistake.

627
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 3: Well, that a mistake at all. When you can you

628
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 3: fully buy in, why do we not?

629
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 6: Yes?

630
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 4: I can fully buy in because they went on the

631
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 4: road and beat Georgia and then they went on the

632
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 4: road and beat Missouri and they are right now looking

633
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 4: like the best team in the SEC. They're right now

634
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 4: looking like the best team in the best conference. I

635
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 4: don't know what else you know?

636
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 6: Why?

637
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 5: Why why do we not?

638
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 2: Why? Here?

639
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 3: Let me let me finish. Why do we not trust

640
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 3: Miami because of what they've done?

641
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 4: Years of crystal ball?

642
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 2: Right?

643
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 4: Calen de Board took Washington to the championship two years ago,

644
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 4: Miami Chris never sniffed a championship.

645
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 3: He had one magical season and now he's bulletproof when

646
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 3: he's no.

647
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,959
Speaker 4: I'm not saying he's a bulletproof, But what you're saying

648
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 4: is Bama's no good not good enough. So who is

649
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,959
Speaker 4: good enough to actually win a championship this year?

650
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 3: And I'm beholden to the past in a bad way,

651
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 3: yet you're beholden to the past in a good way.

652
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 4: Like, how does that ma, I'm not beholden to any past.

653
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 4: What I'm saying is Kaylin de Boor with this team

654
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 4: looks elite. I don't know why we're grading this year

655
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,479
Speaker 4: off of last year with a completely different roster, whereas

656
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 4: Christo Baal with a better roster looks worse.

657
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 2: Well, well, let's look at the numbers this year, you know,

658
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 2: and and look again. I'm I'm more supporting the chaos

659
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 2: that has been this college football season as opposed to

660
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 2: looking back at Kailn Debor's record as a head coach

661
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 2: when he was with a completely different team in a

662
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 2: completely different culture, in a completely different time of college football.

663
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 2: A lot's happened over the last three years. I'm looking

664
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 2: at this season. I'm looking at this King Womack defense

665
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 2: that's given up too many explosive plays. I'm looking at

666
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 2: an Alabama Crimson tie defense that hasn't towed the line

667
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 2: the way that we are typically used to seeing Alabama

668
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 2: perform against, you know, SEC football teams. Yeah, I mean

669
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 2: can't run the ball either, Yeah yeah. Jam Miller has

670
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 2: been jammed up. It's it's jams. Yeah. And and here's

671
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 2: here's the deal. I I look at ty Simpson as

672
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 2: a guy who I want to trust, like I was

673
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 2: talking about earlier. I look at Kaalin de Bor in

674
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 2: the SEC as a coach I want to trust, and

675
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 2: I think I can, but I need to see more

676
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 2: and and the and to answer your other question, Jared,

677
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 2: and this isn't to attack your point, because I think

678
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 2: it's well founded, but just to support what Brian's saying.

679
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,280
Speaker 2: And kind of the point that I'm leaning more towards

680
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 2: is do I think Bama can win a national championship? Yeah?

681
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 2: But I felt that way three games ago about Penn

682
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 2: State and look at us now they're searching for their

683
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 2: next head coach. So it's it's really a unique situation

684
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:07,280
Speaker 2: we find ourselves in these days in college football all together.

685
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 2: And then you start thinking about the context of losing

686
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 2: a historic head coach, restarting and looking vastly different than

687
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 2: Alabama has looked in this conference in years. It's hard

688
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,879
Speaker 2: for my eyes to adjust to the picture I'm seeing.

689
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 2: It's like when you try on a new pair of

690
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 2: glasses and you're a little woozy the first couple of steps,

691
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 2: You're like, I mean, I'm seeing clear, but I sort

692
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 2: of feel like my head's disattached from my feet right now.

693
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 2: I gotta get used to this. That's how I feel

694
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 2: in the Kaylin de boor ty Simpson, you know, it's

695
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 2: it doesn't feel right. It doesn't feel like Bama. So

696
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 2: I'm very curious to see how they finish the season.

697
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,760
Speaker 2: Am I impressed by the wins? Yes? Do I agree

698
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 2: that if ty Simpson doesn't get stepped on, they cover

699
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 2: the spread? Maybe? Yeah? But do I also feel like

700
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 2: Bama is the national power they were under Saban Right

701
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 2: now with kaelin Debor, absolutely not. I don't trust it

702
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 2: as much as I did when Nick Saban was that coach.

703
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 2: I'm willing to get there, but I need to see.

704
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 3: More right and a lot of that's this year too.

705
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 3: I can't get the Florida State loss. They didn't just lose,

706
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 3: they were dominated. And now look at Florida State, you know,

707
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 3: so I just gotta see more. There's nothing wrong with it.

708
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 3: I gotta have more reasons to trust Alabama. And it's

709
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 3: a step today, It'll be a step the next couple

710
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:31,720
Speaker 3: of tough home games.

711
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 5: If they passed those steps, I'll trust them more. That's

712
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 5: how it goes.

713
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,240
Speaker 3: Have we got rich Orenberger, Penn State All American, Jared

714
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 3: Smith FSR betting analyst.

715

734
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 3: don't know what it was like salt some music to

735
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 3: what did you say?

736
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,280
Speaker 5: It's more of like a no. This is the beginning

737
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 5: of the salta music right here. Very nice, We're in

738
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 5: our element. We start with you, Jared, what do you like?

739
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 4: I will go Old Dominion on the money line at

740
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 4: James Madison today. This is best on best for the

741
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 4: Belt and the Belt two best teams in the Sun

742
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 4: Belt should be a fun one. Oh to you. We

743
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 4: gave him last week on the show. I don't know

744
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 4: what happened. They were a fourteen point favorite at Marshall.

745
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 4: They lost by twenty four. That was a disaster. Is

746
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 4: they were looking ahead to this game, So now we

747
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,280
Speaker 4: get a little bit of a discount on Old Dominion.

748
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 4: Maybe if they blow out Marshall, they would have been

749
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 4: favored in this game. But now we get him as

750
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 4: a slight dog. This isn't peak JMU season that was

751
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three. This feels like more of a coin

752
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 4: flippy game with a JMU team that is not as

753
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 4: dominant as they have been during this recent run. Monarchs

754
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 4: are really good on paper though. I really like the

755
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 4: quarterback Colton Joseph. He's actually tied with Tys Simpson inefficiency.

756
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 4: He's in the top ten right now in the nation.

757
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 4: And an emotional week for Ricky Ronnie, the head coach

758
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 4: of Old Dominion, mentor of James Franklin, obviously affected by

759
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 4: his firing this week. Maybe that's the final emotional push

760
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 4: to get this Old Dominion team across the finish line.

761
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 4: I think they go on the road and beat jam Unit.

762
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 2: Give me South Carolina on the money line hosting Oklahoma.

763
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 2: Oklahoma's got a bad rushing offense against a particularly good

764
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 2: rush defense of South Carolina. The game Cocks haven't been

765
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,720
Speaker 2: great offensively, but I don't trust that the Sooners quarterback

766
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 2: here is healthy, regardless of what he says. Give me

767
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:05,760
Speaker 2: the game Cocks on the money line today.

768
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,359
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll go with the prop for you. I'll go

769
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 3: with Georgia running back Nate Fraser. He is he's the

770
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 3: backup to Chauncey Bowens, but Bowens is dealing with this

771
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 3: nagging calf injury and going up against Ole Miss today,

772
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 3: the Dogs should be eating. You talk about a horrible

773
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 3: rush defense, that would be Old Miss. They are one

774
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 3: hundred and sixth in yards per carry. That's what they

775
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 3: are against the rush, so expect a heavy dose of

776
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 3: the Dogs running game, and I expect Nate Frasier to

777
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 3: get his get his carries, get his touches, and against

778
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:46,919
Speaker 3: that soft ole Miss rush defense, I think he's gonna

779
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 3: clear thirty eight and a half rushing yard.

780
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 5: So I'll go with Frasier today of the Dogs.

781
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 4: I like this nine to one, and I agree on

782
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 4: the Fraser pick. The one thing I noticed when I

783
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 4: watched it all Miss this year, they drop they drop seven,

784
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 4: they drop eight in the give you those yards and

785
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 4: they'll make you go seven, eight, nine, ten plays to

786
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 4: move it down the field. So there's there will be

787
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 4: yards available today in the run game. I think for Georgia.

788
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 5: That's what we like to hear.

789
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 3: You know, we're on the prop over yards available, you know, yeah,

790
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:17,359
Speaker 3: yards available over it. Absolutely no doubt about that. Okay,

791
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 3: all right, how about we cash this one today.

792
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 4: Guys, Yeah, let's do it.

793
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 6: I like it.

794
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 2: Carolina, goodau.

795
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:23,439
Speaker 4: You see one there?

796
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 2: Rich, Yeah, come up up.

797
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 3: This team's defense has been nasty in a good way,

798
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 3: but its offense has been nasty in a bad way.

799
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 5: Oh what is going on?

800
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 3: Welcome in happy Saturday to you as we get you

801
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 3: all set for a full slate of college football. I'll

802
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 3: tell you what before we get to LSU and Vanderbilt.

803
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 3: A lot of good SEC games, a lot of good

804
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 3: SEC Tilts. Today, I'm back home, fellas for the Notre

805
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 3: Dame game tonight. Wow, be in attendance, cheering.

806
00:40:57,719 --> 00:40:58,320
Speaker 5: On my Irish.

807
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 3: Actually it was funny because I was on a a

808
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 3: flight last night, was a connecting flight in Detroit. When

809
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 3: you think of Notre Dame Detroit connecting, any players come

810
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 3: to mind, any anybody. Jerome Bettis was on the flight.

811
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,280
Speaker 2: That's right, he was. It was funny.

812
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 5: I walked by him on you know, like the whatever.

813
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 5: Good guess it was a very good dress.

814
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

815
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:28,280
Speaker 3: That Honestly, I blanked on the city because I ran, Yeah,

816
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 3: I ran into a Golden Tate's family at a tire

817
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 3: place before I could just tell they I was waiting

818
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 3: for my tires to get fixed or whatever. And I

819
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 3: could tell based on their conversation this was like Golden

820
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 3: Tate's mom and like his sister or whatever. And I

821
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 3: thought it'd be the weirdest thing to be like, hey,

822
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 3: I know Golden Tates. I didn't say anything, but you know,

823
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 3: like the walkways, you know, like the how do you

824
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 3: call those.

825
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 5: It's kind of like the vertical escalator. Yeah, the jetway

826
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 5: or yeah, the moving sidewalk, Yeah, the move there you go.

827
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 3: I was on the moving sidewalk and I walked by

828
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 3: Jerome and I'm like, man, there's something about this guy

829
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 3: looks really familiar. And I passed by and I let

830
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 3: him like Jerome, like he must he must have that

831
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:10,879
Speaker 3: all the time.

832
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 5: But very nice guy.

833
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 3: Talked to him for a little bit and he's in

834
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 3: town for the nd game, so very cool stuff. We

835
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 3: will get to a full usc Notre Dame breakdown next hour.

836
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 3: Very much looking forward to that. But we got business

837
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 3: right now with LSU and Vanderbilt. Vandy a home favorite here,

838
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 3: small favorite. It's fluctuated a little bit between two and

839
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 3: a half and three, but right now you look at LSU,

840
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:38,720
Speaker 3: nasty and good and bad ways.

841
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 5: Their defense has been unbelievable.

842
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:45,839
Speaker 3: Their offense has been the opposite of unbelievable. But they

843
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 3: have been a dead under team. Their games have been close,

844
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 3: like hard fought, low scoring games.

845
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 5: What do you guys see to.

846
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,760
Speaker 3: Gain today against Pavia, Vanderbilt can put points on the board.

847
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 3: They had some red zone turnovers against Obama only scored

848
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,800
Speaker 3: fourteen points, but they're more than capable of scoring points.

849
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 3: But against LSU's defense, what type of game do you

850
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 3: think we see in terms of higher scoring, lower scoring?

851
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:12,720
Speaker 5: What are your sense?

852
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 2: Boy? I kind of feel like this could be a

853
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:21,720
Speaker 2: lower scoring match. I really do. When you look at LSU,

854
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 2: they are so stingy on defense, especially on third down.

855
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 2: They've been rock solid. They've been disruptive up front, They've

856
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 2: done a nice job avoiding explosive against Yeah, Vandy's been

857
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 2: good offensively. There's a lot of blue chip talent on

858
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 2: that Tigers defense, though, you know, and then you look

859
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:45,320
Speaker 2: at LSU's offense, and I just think that nus Meyer

860
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:50,720
Speaker 2: has he's not footing the bill for the expectations. Again,

861
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 2: expectations are tricky when we talk about the higher echelon

862
00:43:55,760 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 2: of college football, there are such enormous expectations. But I

863
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:05,240
Speaker 2: think that Garrett Nosmeier has been he's he's he has

864
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 2: not elevated his play to the level that LSU needs

865
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 2: to match what their defense has done. So I could

866
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 2: I could see this one being a lower scoring game

867
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 2: where it's a lot of field position, a lot of stops,

868
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 2: you know, and then you're gonna have a couple of plays,

869
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 2: you know, you know, get a team in plus territory

870
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:30,439
Speaker 2: and we're going to see a field goal fest. That's

871
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 2: what I make of this game.

872
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 4: M Yeah, went weeks out today. By the way, LSU linebacker,

873
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:37,399
Speaker 4: of course, we talked about him a couple of weeks

874
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 4: ago in the Ole Miss game when he was, you know,

875
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 4: making making headlines for for dating Lang Kiffin's daughter. He's

876
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 4: not going to play in this game. So that's a

877
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 4: big loss for LSU's defense. The one thing I noticed

878
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 4: last week, LSU finally ran the ball against South Carolina,

879
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 4: who is not you know, murderers Road defensively, but it's

880
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 4: an SEC game and they ran it very effectively. Caden

881
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:06,479
Speaker 4: Durham's best three games this year were LSU's best three

882
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 4: wins South Carolina, Florida, Clemson. He had at least seventy

883
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 4: yards and at least fifteen carries in all three of

884
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 4: those games. That's your recipe, right. We talk about nus

885
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 4: Meyer struggling, he is struggling. I'm looking at the stats.

886
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 4: He's sixtieth in EPA per dropback. He's behind guys like

887
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 4: Tucker Gleason and Noah Kim and Maddox Madson, so you know,

888
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 4: he hasn't played to that level despite the fact that

889
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,280
Speaker 4: he's very experienced and he's got a ton of weapons

890
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,240
Speaker 4: around him, so we need to see more from him.

891
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:38,720
Speaker 4: Durham missed the game against Ole Miss and the Tigers

892
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 4: couldn't run in that game. So again, I think the

893
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 4: recipe's pretty simple here can you run it on Vandy.

894
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 4: I like the interior offensive lineman for LSU. They've got

895
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 4: two of them that are worth noting. The center Braylan

896
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 4: Moore has been playing really well. He's the guy I

897
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 4: would really try to run behind. And they can do

898
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:55,879
Speaker 4: a lot with them. They can pull them, they can

899
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 4: you know, counter them, like he's a very experienced athletic center.

900
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 4: It's always in advantage when your center can get to

901
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 4: the second level and can move around. They're right guard.

902
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 4: Josh S. Thompson's also grading out really well. Like these

903
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 4: are two really good interior offensive linemen. And against South

904
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,760
Speaker 4: Carolina it was between the tackles thirteen carries one hundred

905
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 4: and twenty one yards between the tackles. Last week against

906
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 4: the game Cocks, both of these teams are starting very

907
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 4: tough stretches. The LSU stretch is probably tougher because they're

908
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:24,759
Speaker 4: on the road today, then they play A and M

909
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 4: at home and then at Bama the next two weeks.

910
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:28,839
Speaker 4: I mean, that's brutal. They're five and one now, they

911
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:30,799
Speaker 4: could be five and four very quickly if they dropped

912
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 4: this game today. Vandy a little bit softer, but still

913
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 4: no cupcake.

914
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 2: Right.

915
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:38,839
Speaker 4: They're off the by Miszoo and Texas the next two weeks.

916
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 4: So after they started five and zero, they lose the

917
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 4: game to Bama. If they dropped this one today and

918
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 4: then you got Miszoo in Texas, all of a sudden,

919
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:48,240
Speaker 4: they could be five and four. So the sec because

920
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 4: of the gauntlet schedule that is in front of you,

921
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:55,760
Speaker 4: it can turn so quickly, so big game for both teams.

922
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 4: This it feels like a toss up, like I think

923
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 4: Pavia probably scored. That's a plus money prop. I think

924
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 4: Durham has to be key. You could probably lean on

925
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 4: him in the prop market, But I honestly don't know.

926
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 4: This is a coin flip game. I don't know who's

927
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:08,479
Speaker 4: going to win this game.

928
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, and a little bit of money on h on

929
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,359
Speaker 3: LSU this morning, A Vandy down to just a one

930
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 3: and a half point favorite now and the total is

931
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:18,719
Speaker 3: ticked down a little bit, a couple of points down

932
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:20,320
Speaker 3: to forty seven and a half.

933
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 5: For what it's worse right right there.

934
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 3: And you know, not to pick a fight, Jared, but

935
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 3: I mean, we can't penalize Vandy too much for losing

936
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 3: to all powerful Bama, you know what I mean, Like.

937
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 5: You just kind of throw that by the wayside right there.

938
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 4: You know, they shut him out in the second half.

939
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 4: That defense that you guys are ragging on shut out

940
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 4: Bandy and Diego Pobby in the second half of that game.

941
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:42,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that is true.

942
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're ragging on their defense.

943
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 4: Okay, well you did, you were ragging on.

944
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 2: I said, they haven't been what Bama defense is, especially

945
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:54,880
Speaker 2: against a run game, by the way, have been in

946
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 2: the past, you know, focusing on the Commodore's offense. Though

947
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 2: Diego has been one of the most efficient passers in

948
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 2: the country. I was just diving into his stats. I mean,

949
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 2: fourteen hundred yards over fourteen hundred yards, fourteen touchdowns with

950
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 2: just four turnover worthy plays in total the entire season.

951
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 2: PFF hasn't graded as one of the highest ranked quarterbacks

952
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 2: efficiency wise in the country, and a lot of games,

953
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 2: a lot of moments in a lot of games that

954
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 2: Vanderbilt has come out on top has been a result

955
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 2: of his clutch play. He's a talented quarterback. I think

956
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 2: he's one of the more under heralded quarterbacks in college

957
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 2: football right now because efficiency isn't rewarded with big headlines.

958
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 2: But efficiency is exactly what you need in college football

959
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 2: and frankly, in pro football. You need a quarterback who's

960
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 2: not going to make the big mistake. He's going to

961
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 2: be able to orchestrate orchestrate drives and good ones in

962
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 2: timely moments. And Diego Pavia has been able to do

963
00:48:57,680 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 2: that for Vandy all season long.

964
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 4: By the way, Up says, Vandy plays well here, I

965
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 4: do too, And.

966
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 2: I feel like this is this is primed for a

967
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 2: Kelly choke job, Like this is one of those games

968
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 2: where you just see him. I mean, look, LSU, how

969
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 2: many times have we seen this? Lsu? Aside, how many

970
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 2: times over the course of Brian Kelly's career have we

971
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 2: seen big moments like this where he's come up short.

972
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 2: I mean it happened this season already. This feels like

973
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:29,240
Speaker 2: another one of those opportunities.

974
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 4: Not having weeks is huge because in the run game

975
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 4: with Pobby, it's just really tough to stop that. When

976
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:35,799
Speaker 4: they go plus one on the run game and he's

977
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 4: quarterback power, I mean, and they do that a lot,

978
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 4: it's gonna be a really I think it's a tough

979
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:40,879
Speaker 4: matchup for Elsu's defense in this game.

980
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 3: I do, well, you got quarterbacks on your mind. Let's

981
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,760
Speaker 3: keep that going with another game here. How about Texas

982
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 3: Tech against Arizona State. Let's go to the Big twelve

983
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 3: for a second, because we've got what looks to be

984
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 3: the Big twelve champs this year in Texas Tech. They've

985
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 3: been magnificent thus far against the Big twelve champs last

986
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 3: season that was Arizona State. Right, So Sam Levitt is

987
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 3: back Arizona State's quarterback.

988
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 5: And the interesting thing with.

989
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 3: Texas Tech their quarterback situation, So Baron Morton, he's been

990
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:15,400
Speaker 3: banged up. He's left three games this season, and so

991
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 3: they've had their backup.

992
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 5: Remember Will Hammond, the backup quarterback.

993
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:22,439
Speaker 3: He came in against Utah and was unbelievable, and now

994
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 3: he's been coming back into these games. When Baron Morgan,

995
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 3: Baron Morton, I don't know why it's so hard for

996
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 3: me to say his name. When Morton gets knocked out,

997
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 3: incomes Hammond. So he had success early on, not as

998
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 3: much success last week against Kansas. Get these numbers, seven

999
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 3: for sixteen for forty two yards and a pick that

1000
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 3: was Will Hammond last week. Now they ran the ball

1001
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:49,880
Speaker 3: all over the Jayhawks. But it's an interesting quarterback situation

1002
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 3: here with Morton getting banged up, the backup Hammond, who's

1003
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:57,319
Speaker 3: been good, been bad, and then Sam sam Levitt being

1004
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:58,720
Speaker 3: back for ASU.

1005
00:50:59,120 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 5: Kind of interesting.

1006
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 3: Matt up here Texas Tech against the rush and their

1007
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:07,360
Speaker 3: front seven has been magnificent. You typically don't think, man,

1008
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 3: how are you gonna run on Texas Tech?

1009
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:12,720
Speaker 5: But that's where we are today. Their D line is legit.

1010
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there's no question about and look, there's no

1011
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:21,920
Speaker 2: replacing a player like Cam Skataboo. We're seeing what he's

1012
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:26,719
Speaker 2: doing for the Giants Now, ASU, I mean they're I

1013
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 2: wouldn't say they're reeling from that loss, but they're having

1014
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:34,000
Speaker 2: a hard time replacing the sort of production that he

1015
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:37,840
Speaker 2: was able to post for them. Also against a fairly

1016
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 2: mediocre Utah offense. They allowed over four hundred yards just

1017
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:46,360
Speaker 2: a week ago in Salt Lake City, including two hundred

1018
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 2: seventy six yards on the ground. That's just awful. That's awful.

1019
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:53,920
Speaker 2: You can't get worn out like that and expect to

1020
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 2: have a chance against the Texas Tech team. Like you said, Brian,

1021
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 2: that's pretty much. I don't want to say it's a

1022
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:01,240
Speaker 2: fade out complete that they're gonna win the Big Twelve,

1023
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:04,400
Speaker 2: but they're they're the top team in this league. And

1024
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 2: ASU comes into this game dog by seven. I'm not

1025
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:12,400
Speaker 2: a huge believer in ASU. I could I see it

1026
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 2: being a tight game, Yeah, I could potentially, I could

1027
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 2: see potentially a SU hanging around in this one, But

1028
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 2: I mean there's no way I would be comfortable taking

1029
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:26,400
Speaker 2: them on the money line. Like, that's not even this.

1030
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 2: This isn't a live dog. If anybody's thinking the sun

1031
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 2: Devils could sneak up on someone.

1032
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:35,360
Speaker 4: Here, yeah, and Arizona State's in a really tricky spot here, guys.

1033
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:39,880
Speaker 4: They really are, because on one hand, Levitt is definitely

1034
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:42,439
Speaker 4: not one hundred percent. I mean, I think that's that's

1035
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 4: pretty clear. Maybe this is like a Mateer situation last

1036
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 4: year where or which was me last week, where the

1037
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:54,919
Speaker 4: backup is such a dire strait that they're like, hey,

1038
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 4: give us whatever you can, John, like, we we just

1039
00:52:57,200 --> 00:53:00,319
Speaker 4: we can't have Hawkins in here. We saw that last year.

1040
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 4: That's where Arizona State is. Jeff Sims. You want to

1041
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:05,400
Speaker 4: talk about bad numbers. I know Hammon's numbers were off.

1042
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:07,359
Speaker 4: Go look at Jeff sims numbers last week at Utah.

1043
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 4: Oh really really gross. So you're pushing back a quarterback

1044
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:19,440
Speaker 4: that is definitely less than one hundred percent, who is

1045
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:22,719
Speaker 4: probably not taking all the reps in practice. You have

1046
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 4: your best player on offense is a receiver. And we

1047
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:29,240
Speaker 4: talk about this a lot, like, don't get me wrong,

1048
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:32,400
Speaker 4: Jordan Tyson is elite. You can scheme a receiver out

1049
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 4: of a game a lot more than you can scheme

1050
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:35,360
Speaker 4: a running back out of a game. Like it's just

1051
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 4: easier to bracket coverage and take something away where it is.

1052
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 4: If a running back is churning you up, it is

1053
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 4: really hard to just take that away. And if you

1054
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,239
Speaker 4: do take it away, you're leaving yourself vulnerable in the

1055
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:51,760
Speaker 4: secondary to multiple one on one matchups and just explosives galore.

1056
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 4: So I think the fact that Arizona State's best player

1057
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 4: this year is a receiver and not a bull dozing

1058
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:01,400
Speaker 4: running back, it just changes the math. It changes the

1059
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:04,759
Speaker 4: dynamic of what the Sun Devils can do offensively. And

1060
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 4: I think they're not as solid. They're not as consistent

1061
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:10,920
Speaker 4: of a team this year with a little more polish

1062
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 4: and glitz and glamour on the outside than they were

1063
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:17,080
Speaker 4: last year with skatabow, hammer meets nail. Texas Tech's the

1064
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 4: real deal, guys, Like, honestly, they spent all this money

1065
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 4: in the portal. We didn't know what we're gonna see.

1066
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 4: They're covering every number. Their defense looks great, like I

1067
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:28,719
Speaker 4: think if you are getting a discount, right, Like the

1068
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:30,799
Speaker 4: Arizona state number moved down a little bit once we

1069
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:33,759
Speaker 4: heard that Levitt was gonna play. As numbers will move

1070
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:36,840
Speaker 4: based off of quarterbacks. I think the value here is

1071
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:40,359
Speaker 4: on Texas Tech. I honestly do, because I just don't

1072
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 4: trust Levit's healthy and if they have to go to SIMS,

1073
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 4: it's gonna be a disaster.

1074
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:45,279
Speaker 2: Yeah. Right.

1075
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 3: A prop bet caught my attention where I like, we're

1076
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 3: leak Brown a lot the ASU running back, but man

1077
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:57,720
Speaker 3: against that that front four, that that front seven really

1078
00:54:57,760 --> 00:54:59,920
Speaker 3: for Texas Tech, he's gonna have his work cut o

1079
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:02,560
Speaker 3: out for him. They might be playing from behind. You

1080
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 3: know my gamescript type stuff. So releak Brown under seventy

1081
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 3: eight and a half rushing yards, especially like you're saying, Jared,

1082
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 3: without Sam Levitt being completely healthy, you might have, you know,

1083
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 3: a lesser version of Sam Levitt today. He might be

1084
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 3: able to throw it well, but look, man, a lot

1085
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 3: of his game is running around and making things happen.

1086
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:25,600
Speaker 3: So if you don't have that same dimension with Levitt,

1087
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:28,799
Speaker 3: I think that's actually going to be more difficult for

1088
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 3: their ground game as a whole.

1089
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:31,920
Speaker 5: So I don't know.

1090
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:34,440
Speaker 3: I think Leak Brown under seventy eight and a half

1091
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:36,880
Speaker 3: is is a live play something keep your eye on

1092

Speaker 3: Yes, we are following the money with our good friend

1115
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 3: Seamus McGee, team Lead of Sports Trading at BETMGM. Good

1116
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:52,880
Speaker 3: morning to you, Seamus. Okay, let's get right to it.

1117
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:55,720
Speaker 3: What is on the bet MGM wish list today?

1118
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 5: Huh? What do you need?

1119
00:56:56,680 --> 00:57:02,120
Speaker 6: What do you want right now? Book? The number one

1120
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 6: need we have right now? We're gonna need Oklahoma minus

1121
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 6: five and a half. We took a pretty big wager

1122
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:10,520
Speaker 6: on South Carolina plus five and a half earlier this week,

1123
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:13,880
Speaker 6: so right now, it's looking like the biggest need. But

1124
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 6: I think we're gonna need some dogs to bark this

1125
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:18,280
Speaker 6: week as well. I think we're gonna need Old Miss

1126
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:22,720
Speaker 6: plus seven. And this Vandy LSU game is kind of

1127
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:25,440
Speaker 6: all over. We're see mostly Vandy money. There's a worldly

1128
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 6: fight in the LSU against Vanderbilt, which is just a

1129
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 6: line I can't believe I'm alive for in my life.

1130
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 4: Rich was that you beton South Carolina big there making

1131
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 4: Shamus sweat out Oklahoma. We just gave out South Carolina

1132
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 4: money line on our parlay platter. All right. The big

1133
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:46,120
Speaker 4: news this morning Clemson. Kate club Nick not playing today.

1134
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 4: Chris Vezina, the backup quarterback for Clemson, will start. We've

1135
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:51,760
Speaker 4: seen this number move considerably. It was eight and a

1136
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 4: half earlier in the week, it was five and a

1137
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:55,320
Speaker 4: half this morning. Now it's three and a half after

1138
00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 4: the news Seamus. I'll be honest, Kate club Nick, I

1139
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:01,520
Speaker 4: don't know if he's playing five points better than anybody

1140
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 4: right now. Have we moved to a certain point where

1141
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 4: now we see some value on Clemson as a smaller

1142
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:08,640
Speaker 4: home favorite.

1143
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 6: Personally, I go, I mean I was on here a

1144
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:14,600
Speaker 6: few weeks ago, you know, ranting about how much I

1145
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:18,919
Speaker 6: don't like Cape Club Nick, so I agree. I think

1146
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 6: three and a half is worth of bet now in

1147
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:23,040
Speaker 6: my opinion. But as far as the book is concerned week,

1148
00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:25,520
Speaker 6: I mean, if anyone was betting this game, it was

1149
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:28,840
Speaker 6: you know, smu at the know as the numbers climbed down.

1150
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 6: But oh, in all, the handle really wasn't that big

1151
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 6: coming into today. We'll see what it turns up at

1152
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:36,240
Speaker 6: it three thirty, but just not a lot of interest

1153
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:37,240
Speaker 6: in this game right now.

1154
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 2: Seamus, listen, I don't know if you have any insight

1155
00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 2: here whatsoever, but you're going to help out me and Jared.

1156
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 2: Maybe you get a better night's sleep tonight if you

1157
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:49,480
Speaker 2: can help us answer this question. Who's Penn State hiring

1158
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 2: next man?

1159
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:56,920
Speaker 6: I've I've tossed and turned with this like all week.

1160
00:58:57,440 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 6: I really don't know. I think I'd be pretty underwhelmed.

1161
00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 6: If it was Matt Rule. I'd almost like take a

1162
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 6: swing at like a younger guy coming up over Matt Rule.

1163
00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:11,959
Speaker 6: It's just weird. You fire a guy who wins ten

1164
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 6: games pretty much every year, obviously not this year, and

1165
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:21,160
Speaker 6: your replacement is Matt Rule. It just seems lateral or

1166
00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:23,920
Speaker 6: like that. It doesn't instill a ton of confidence in me.

1167
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:28,560
Speaker 6: I really don't know if if I'd have picked today,

1168
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 6: I see the Joe Brady rumors. I think that would

1169
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:33,960
Speaker 6: be a good I wouldn't hate that higher if I'm

1170
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:34,440
Speaker 6: being honest.

1171
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 5: What's the wow really line here today? Seamus?

1172
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:41,439
Speaker 3: You might have looked at it with the LSU game

1173
00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:44,600
Speaker 3: like you might need LSU at BETMGM to get this

1174
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:48,160
Speaker 3: done against Vanderbilt. It's pretty wild, But just in terms

1175
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:51,760
Speaker 3: of either a point spread or a total maybe line movement,

1176
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:54,680
Speaker 3: what's throughout the week caused you to say wow, really,

1177
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 3: that's where we're at.

1178
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:57,919
Speaker 5: What's caused you to say that the most? Heading into

1179
00:59:58,000 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 5: this Saturday?

1180
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:03,760
Speaker 6: I mean I was going to save the Shamous special

1181
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 6: for the end, but the wrong team was favored in

1182
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:09,720
Speaker 6: Chestnut Hill all week and the line of finally got

1183
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:14,640
Speaker 6: back through zero with Yukon favorite. I'm picking a Yukon

1184
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 6: money line is my pick this week. But that was

1185
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:21,280
Speaker 6: one where I was like, I I this VC team,

1186
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:23,920
Speaker 6: this program is in a bad spot right now. I

1187
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 6: think Bill O'Brien is to buy up huge, so I

1188
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:31,040
Speaker 6: don't even know if they'll fire him, but I love

1189
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 6: yu Con today and there were a dog all week.

1190
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:38,320
Speaker 6: But yeah, that was what Also, Duke minus three three

1191
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 6: and a half against Georgia Tech. Orgia Tech hot to

1192
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 6: Troup team right now, So I think that's a been

1193
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:45,360
Speaker 6: a surprising one for a lot of people.

1194
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:48,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, that line thinks to high having Seamus.

1195
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Duke, Duke is.

1196
01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:54,680
Speaker 4: They've got waxed by Illinois. Georgia Tech is undefeated, they

1197
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:57,200
Speaker 4: beat Clemson, and you're telling me that Duke is a

1198
01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:02,400
Speaker 4: field goal now plus field goal thing against Georgia Tech. Again,

1199
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 4: the market tells you when these weird, funky games are

1200
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 4: going to take place. You just have to open up

1201
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 4: your eyeballs and look, this feels like a really fun

1202
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 4: spot for Kurt Signetti this week. He used the James

1203
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 4: Franklin leverage to get a much bigger extension than he

1204
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:22,880
Speaker 4: probably would have gotten if he just kind of waited

1205
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 4: toil the end of the season. Now he's got to

1206
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:28,040
Speaker 4: put his money where his mouth is. Like they The

1207
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 4: one thing I love about Indiana is they kind of

1208
01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 4: were the James Franklin Penn State teams of prior years

1209
01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:35,120
Speaker 4: where they just hammer bad teams. Michigan State is an

1210
01:01:35,240 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 4: awful football team. They just lost by twenty five to

1211
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:41,520
Speaker 4: Ucla at home. Now you're gonna cover twenty seven and

1212
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:44,120
Speaker 4: a half against Indiana on the road when Signetti just

1213
01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:46,720
Speaker 4: got paid, Like, tell me how this isn't sixty to three.

1214
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:51,000
Speaker 6: Usually you look at this and like that was last

1215
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:53,320
Speaker 6: week was the biggest win in the history of the

1216
01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:58,640
Speaker 6: Indiana program. So you'd think coming home big favorite. Maybe

1217
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:02,240
Speaker 6: it's just a little sleepy, maybe a little let down.

1218
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:05,440
Speaker 6: But I'm with you. This Michigan State side is just

1219
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:10,480
Speaker 6: this defense is just poorus and they looked awful against

1220
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:14,800
Speaker 6: Ucla last week. And I think Signetty might be impervious

1221
01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:18,240
Speaker 6: to letdown spots, Like I don't think he knows what

1222
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:20,360
Speaker 6: those are. He will go out if he has to

1223
01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:23,160
Speaker 6: beat Michigan State by four touchdowns. I think he will.

1224
01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:29,160
Speaker 2: Just looking forward at Ohio State schedule the rest of

1225
01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:34,520
Speaker 2: the season. They go to Wisconsin this weekend, they'll host

1226
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:38,920
Speaker 2: Penn State. Perdues on the schedule, Ucla, Rutgers, Michigan. I mean,

1227
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 2: is there a loss anywhere here? There can't be, right,

1228
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:46,120
Speaker 2: I mean, Ohio State stays perfect on the season.

1229
01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:50,919
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I just don't know where they lose this game.

1230
01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:54,880
Speaker 6: I think they're pretty easily the best team in the country.

1231
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:57,600
Speaker 6: I wouldn't. They're probably gonna beIN the national Championship in

1232
01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:01,680
Speaker 6: my opinion, but will when they have to go November

1233
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:04,880
Speaker 6: twenty ninth to ann Arbor. If Ryan Daken finally get

1234
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 6: it done right we spend this last year.

1235
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:12,400
Speaker 3: It's crazy, right, it seems like it's a good and

1236
01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:15,960
Speaker 3: that's like no, no, but really right, Like they've been

1237
01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 3: huge favorites before and of late eggs against Michigan so well,

1238
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:21,760
Speaker 3: I feel weird like you gave out the shame of

1239
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:23,120
Speaker 3: special So what do we do now?

1240
01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:25,000
Speaker 4: Shame double special home.

1241
01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1242
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:30,240
Speaker 6: On the topic of Ohio State football, I mean I

1243
01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:33,760
Speaker 6: love Wisconsin team total under seven and a half call

1244
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:37,240
Speaker 6: me hook where I don't know if Wisconsin crosses midfield.

1245
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:40,600
Speaker 6: We're talking about programs in it talking about programs in

1246
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 6: a bad spot. I mean, I can't believe Pickle is

1247
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:47,320
Speaker 6: still coaching this team right now. I think this team

1248
01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:48,120
Speaker 6: is just dead.

1249
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, hey man, fair enough, Okay, under seven and a

1250
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:54,280
Speaker 3: half Wisconsin team total.

1251
01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 4: It's time that screws us.

1252
01:03:56,680 --> 01:03:59,440
Speaker 5: Probably do we parlay it with yukon money line? What

1253
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:02,640
Speaker 5: do you think, Jamous? You an advocate for for parlays

1254
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:04,439
Speaker 5: over there responsibly.

1255
01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:08,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, we gave out a three legger that was nine

1256
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:09,120
Speaker 4: to one.

1257
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:09,800
Speaker 2: That's not bad.

1258
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:12,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, three legs, okay, pushing.

1259
01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:13,400
Speaker 2: It, pushing it.

1260
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:15,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, we like to push it here on the show.

1261
01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:18,520
Speaker 3: That's what we do, all right, Seamus, great stuff as always, buddy,

1276
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:53,160
Speaker 3: huddle action. How about the some of the top five

1277
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:56,000
Speaker 3: teams in action today. So we were just talking about

1278
01:04:56,040 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 3: Ohio State at Wisconsin. Ohio State is favored by twenty

1279
01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:03,880
Speaker 3: five and a half points. Ohio State has outscored opponents

1280
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:08,200
Speaker 3: get this two twenty one to forty one this season. Wow,

1281
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:10,760
Speaker 3: and they were all ticked off about allowing sixteen points

1282
01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:13,439
Speaker 3: against Illinois last week. That's the first team to reach

1283
01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 3: double digits this season against them, and so they're they're

1284
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:21,000
Speaker 3: in a bad mood against Wisconsin. This Wisconsin team is

1285
01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:23,760
Speaker 3: beyond broken. Like seam has just said it right there.

1286
01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:25,960
Speaker 3: How is Luke fickle? It's cruel to be like, all right,

1287
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:28,920
Speaker 3: one more Luke, like, well, they'll have to be the

1288
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:31,640
Speaker 3: sacrificial lamb this week and then we'll get you out

1289
01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:35,920
Speaker 3: of town. But man, it is just it's beyond dire

1290
01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 3: for the Badgers at this point. Man, they have no

1291
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:41,000
Speaker 3: offense whatsoever, and now they're going up against the Buckeyes.

1292
01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:44,040
Speaker 3: It's like under seven and a half team total. I

1293
01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:46,520
Speaker 3: can absolutely see why Seamus went with that.

1294
01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:50,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean that that is another Big Ten

1295
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:54,640
Speaker 2: program that maybe quickly searching for a new head coach,

1296
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:58,640
Speaker 2: and who knows, maybe Matt Rule will land there. It

1297
01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:02,040
Speaker 2: doesn't seem like Shamus all that convinced that he's the

1298
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:05,280
Speaker 2: right choice for Penn State. But yeah, I again, looking

1299
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:08,640
Speaker 2: at Ohio State schedule for the rest of the season,

1300
01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:12,280
Speaker 2: first of all, they seem invincible. They seem un beatable,

1301
01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:17,600
Speaker 2: except for perhaps the team up north. Looking at this game. Specifically,

1302
01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:23,520
Speaker 2: Wisconsin stands next to zero chance against this Ohio State defense.

1303
01:06:23,720 --> 01:06:26,640
Speaker 2: I know we're talking about the scoring. I know everybody

1304
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:30,280
Speaker 2: concentrates on the offensive side of the ball and their

1305
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:34,200
Speaker 2: fantasy football lineups, and it's way way more fun to

1306
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:36,920
Speaker 2: bet overs, and we know how it all feels and

1307
01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:42,200
Speaker 2: overs on props especially, but this Ohio State defense is special.

1308
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:46,480
Speaker 2: Matt Patricia, his rebirth as the defensive coordinator for the

1309
01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:52,520
Speaker 2: buck Eys has been incredible. He has been confounding opposing quarterbacks.

1310
01:06:52,560 --> 01:06:56,160
Speaker 2: They have no idea what to do against Ohio State

1311
01:06:56,200 --> 01:07:00,040
Speaker 2: on third down. He's done a tremendous job with not

1312
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:05,120
Speaker 2: only blitz packages, but also he gets inside of the

1313
01:07:05,280 --> 01:07:10,000
Speaker 2: head of lesser talented or less experienced quarterbacks where they

1314
01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:12,960
Speaker 2: don't know if pressure is coming. That's when you know

1315
01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:17,080
Speaker 2: you've really won defensively, when you're only rushing three or

1316
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:20,120
Speaker 2: four and the quarterback has no idea if he's under

1317
01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:23,720
Speaker 2: pressure or not. It's been impressive this season for Ohio State.

1318
01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:29,880
Speaker 4: Hunter Simmons is the lucky quarterback this week right, Wisconsin's

1319
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:33,400
Speaker 4: now started three different quarterbacks for you know, extended time

1320
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:35,040
Speaker 4: this year. We thought it was gonna be Billy Edwards

1321
01:07:35,080 --> 01:07:36,840
Speaker 4: coming into the year, he was the preseason guy, he

1322
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 4: was the transfer and then he got hurt. Then it

1323
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:42,280
Speaker 4: was Danny O'Neil rich is San Diego State dude who

1324
01:07:42,320 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 4: came in and didn't really do much in relief duty.

1325
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:50,000
Speaker 4: And now it's Hunter Simmons, who, to be fair, played

1326
01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:52,800
Speaker 4: okay against Michigan, like it was like the numbers don't

1327
01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:55,080
Speaker 4: jump out at you, but it wasn't a total disaster.

1328
01:07:55,240 --> 01:08:01,200
Speaker 4: Last week against Iowa was a disaster. Nothing. My mom said,

1329
01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:02,960
Speaker 4: if you have nothing nice say about anyone, don't say

1330
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:04,760
Speaker 4: anything at all. So I'll just leave it there with

1331
01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:09,040
Speaker 4: Wisconsin and I'll echo with everything that you guys said

1332
01:08:09,040 --> 01:08:12,360
Speaker 4: about Ohio State, like there it very quietly, And I

1333
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:15,840
Speaker 4: don't really care about Julian saying not having experience. Will

1334
01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:18,040
Speaker 4: Howard won a national title last year with this team.

1335
01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:22,120
Speaker 4: So I think as long as the quarterback plays steady

1336
01:08:22,680 --> 01:08:25,400
Speaker 4: and doesn't you know, upset the Apple car Like if

1337
01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:29,960
Speaker 4: there's one team in the country where having a conservative

1338
01:08:30,040 --> 01:08:33,320
Speaker 4: game plan like the James Franklin approach is actually okay,

1339
01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:36,439
Speaker 4: I think it's Ohio State because of like they're just

1340
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:40,040
Speaker 4: so freaking talented and they know how to win. They

1341
01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:45,080
Speaker 4: understand how to play close games. They don't get tss.

1342
01:08:45,280 --> 01:08:48,160
Speaker 4: They don't have those tight moments unless they're playing Michigan,

1343
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:51,280
Speaker 4: I guess. But it just it feels like this Ohio

1344
01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:55,120
Speaker 4: State team is the steady force in what is a

1345
01:08:55,479 --> 01:09:00,960
Speaker 4: just insane volatile weather pattern sweeping through college football. But

1346
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:04,679
Speaker 4: the one steady factor is we know every week Ohio

1347
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:06,720
Speaker 4: State's defense is gonna show up and shut you down,

1348
01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:09,519
Speaker 4: and that offense is just so tough to defend because

1349
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:11,280
Speaker 4: of how many weapons they have on the outside.

1350
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:16,280
Speaker 3: By the way, a little bit of Alabama vibes offensively

1351
01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:18,960
Speaker 3: with Ohio State, wouldn't you say? A lot of simply

1352
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:23,000
Speaker 3: like really talented passing game wide receiver talent galore for

1353
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:26,519
Speaker 3: both Obama and Ohio State. But the ground game for

1354
01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:28,519
Speaker 3: both teams. If you look at Ohio State last week

1355
01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:32,000
Speaker 3: against Illinois, just averaging two point nine yards per carry.

1356
01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:36,439
Speaker 3: It's just not a dynamic ground game for Ohio State. So,

1357
01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:39,680
Speaker 3: I mean, it hasn't factored in in terms of you know,

1358
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:42,040
Speaker 3: close games or anything like that. But something to keep

1359
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:44,200
Speaker 3: in mind, as we you know, get closer and closer

1360
01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:45,880
Speaker 3: to playoff time, are they going to be able to

1361
01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:48,760
Speaker 3: run the ball more effectively because they might need to.

1362
01:09:49,080 --> 01:09:51,080
Speaker 3: There might be some games where you really need a

1363
01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:54,840
Speaker 3: better ground game. How about another top five team, Indiana

1364
01:09:55,080 --> 01:09:58,080
Speaker 3: in Action taking on Spardi here today. What a win

1365
01:09:58,200 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 3: for Indiana last week heading into Oregon and taking down

1366
01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:05,759
Speaker 3: the Ducks. I love this, So Kurt Signetti, he signs

1367
01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:09,720
Speaker 3: this huge extension. Kurt gets ninety three million dollars over

1368
01:10:09,760 --> 01:10:13,880
Speaker 3: the next eight years, and he is seventeen and two

1369
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:17,480
Speaker 3: at Indiana. I think what makes it the most impressive

1370
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:21,680
Speaker 3: is the three years before Indiana hired Signetti, they were

1371
01:10:21,920 --> 01:10:23,280
Speaker 3: nine and twenty seven.

1372
01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:24,240
Speaker 5: Think about that.

1373
01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:28,200
Speaker 3: They've gone from nine to twenty seven to seventeen and two.

1374
01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:31,479
Speaker 3: Like to get Indiana to where they are right now,

1375
01:10:31,520 --> 01:10:33,679
Speaker 3: you would think it would take years and years. He's

1376
01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:38,120
Speaker 3: done it immediately. So hell of a job by Kurt Signetti. Man,

1377
01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:40,479
Speaker 3: he's there's a reason why he's almost one hundred million

1378
01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:41,400
Speaker 3: dollars richer here.

1379
01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:42,120
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1380
01:10:42,240 --> 01:10:44,000
Speaker 2: And then you look on the other side of the coin.

1381
01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:47,680
Speaker 2: Jonathan Jonathan Smith, it's like the sky is falling in

1382
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:51,600
Speaker 2: East Lansing. They started three and oh this season, and

1383
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:55,320
Speaker 2: there was some confidence that Okay, you know, it looks

1384
01:10:55,400 --> 01:10:57,880
Speaker 2: like the Spartans are gonna have a little bit of

1385
01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:01,679
Speaker 2: a season here, and then even the losses to USC

1386
01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:05,880
Speaker 2: and Nebraska weren't so bad because they look competitive in

1387
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:08,519
Speaker 2: the losses. No moral victories, but you know what I mean,

1388
01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:11,679
Speaker 2: Not all losses are built the same, not all wins

1389
01:11:11,720 --> 01:11:14,760
Speaker 2: are built the same. But that all comes to a

1390
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:21,280
Speaker 2: screeching halt with the outcome to UCLA last week, a

1391
01:11:21,479 --> 01:11:25,880
Speaker 2: thirty eight to thirteen home loss, Michigan State celebrating their

1392
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:29,800
Speaker 2: homecoming or I should say, I guess crying sobbing through

1393
01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:34,400
Speaker 2: their homecoming. That was brutal. And so now all of

1394
01:11:34,479 --> 01:11:37,400
Speaker 2: a sudden, you go from an undefeated team through the

1395
01:11:37,479 --> 01:11:42,120
Speaker 2: first three weeks of the season. Too Spartan fans scratching

1396
01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:45,760
Speaker 2: their heads, thinking themselves like, maybe we're also comfortable with

1397
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:47,640
Speaker 2: the idea of making a change at the top of

1398
01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:51,880
Speaker 2: our football program, the big ten. Man, It's like you

1399
01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:55,120
Speaker 2: have the top of the heap, Indiana. You know they're

1400
01:11:55,200 --> 01:11:58,679
Speaker 2: looking down at everyone. Oregon, Dan Lanning, you know that's

1401
01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:03,520
Speaker 2: a top program, Ohio State, and then you have Wisconsin

1402
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:07,760
Speaker 2: and Penn State right now, and you know the likes

1403
01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:13,080
Speaker 2: of some of these programs that have really struggled this year,

1404
01:12:13,120 --> 01:12:15,439
Speaker 2: and Michigan State's going through it right now.

1405
01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:19,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I really wish Michigan State would have went through

1406
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:21,519
Speaker 4: it two weeks ago against Nebraska when I laid twelve

1407
01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:24,000
Speaker 4: and a half and they lost by eleven. Would have

1408
01:12:24,040 --> 01:12:26,360
Speaker 4: been nice if they gave me an extra score there

1409
01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:28,519
Speaker 4: to chew on. But yeah, I mean, at the end

1410
01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:30,559
Speaker 4: of the day, I think it's obvious where the class

1411
01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:32,599
Speaker 4: of the Big Ten rains, you draw a line after

1412
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:35,320
Speaker 4: and maybe us He can change that math a little

1413
01:12:35,320 --> 01:12:38,280
Speaker 4: bit tonight. I don't think they will. But if USC

1414
01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:40,519
Speaker 4: figures out a way to pull off a win in

1415
01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:43,479
Speaker 4: Brian's neck of the woods tonight, I think pushed them

1416
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:45,800
Speaker 4: up to the I don't listen, we'll get to that game.

1417
01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:47,800
Speaker 4: I don't think it's going to happen. I'm very heavy

1418
01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:49,360
Speaker 4: on Notre Dame here, and you'll be very happy with

1419
01:12:49,439 --> 01:12:51,479
Speaker 4: my handicap in that game. But if us He does

1420
01:12:51,560 --> 01:12:53,320
Speaker 4: win that game, you got to take them seriously at

1421
01:12:53,320 --> 01:12:56,000
Speaker 4: six and one with the rest of their schedule, and

1422
01:12:56,080 --> 01:12:57,840
Speaker 4: then they had that huge game at Oregon in a

1423
01:12:57,880 --> 01:13:00,519
Speaker 4: few weeks. But right now it's Indiana, Ohios and the

1424
01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:02,759
Speaker 4: rest of the Big Ten is very much in the middle,

1425
01:13:03,120 --> 01:13:06,920
Speaker 4: beefy middle of the pack. I do feel like this

1426
01:13:07,080 --> 01:13:08,760
Speaker 4: is a good spot for it. I know that sounds

1427
01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:12,640
Speaker 4: crazy coming off the Oregon win, but I think Signetti

1428
01:13:12,760 --> 01:13:15,200
Speaker 4: is the best coach in college football guys, I really do.

1429
01:13:15,560 --> 01:13:20,240
Speaker 4: I think he has the edge to him that I

1430
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:23,120
Speaker 4: think a lot of coaches cove it like you, Like

1431
01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:25,759
Speaker 4: James Franklin lost the Edd like that's why he got fired.

1432
01:13:25,920 --> 01:13:28,360
Speaker 4: He got fired because on the sidelines they're losing to

1433
01:13:28,479 --> 01:13:31,920
Speaker 4: Northwestern and he just looks like it's just another walk

1434
01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:33,920
Speaker 4: in the park, like he lost that fire in that

1435
01:13:34,120 --> 01:13:37,439
Speaker 4: fight where I think that's where coaches like Signetti. Lane

1436
01:13:37,479 --> 01:13:39,920
Speaker 4: Kiffin's another guy that comes to mind, Like these guys

1437
01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:43,519
Speaker 4: just they're just always on fire, passion and energy, like

1438
01:13:43,600 --> 01:13:48,080
Speaker 4: it's just it's really intense. That's where I think if

1439
01:13:48,120 --> 01:13:50,240
Speaker 4: you go up against that and you're not ready to

1440
01:13:50,439 --> 01:13:54,000
Speaker 4: match that energy like Orgon was not ready, it can

1441
01:13:54,040 --> 01:13:57,000
Speaker 4: be it can be overwhelming because Indiana just keeps coming

1442
01:13:57,040 --> 01:13:59,439
Speaker 4: at you and you overlook them because you don't view

1443
01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:02,200
Speaker 4: them as this this highly talented team with all these

1444
01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:06,040
Speaker 4: great dudes. But when you're coached to that level, the

1445
01:14:06,120 --> 01:14:09,320
Speaker 4: average player plays great and that is why Indiana is

1446
01:14:09,400 --> 01:14:10,320
Speaker 4: so dangerous this year.

1447
01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:13,640
Speaker 3: Man, I'll tell you it's like for this quick of

1448
01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:17,960
Speaker 3: a turnaround to build it through the defense as well.

1449
01:14:18,280 --> 01:14:20,800
Speaker 3: If you look at Indiana, they just allowed sixty four

1450
01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:23,000
Speaker 3: yards in the second half against Oregon.

1451
01:14:23,400 --> 01:14:23,880
Speaker 5: Think about that.

1452
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:27,799
Speaker 3: Oregon's at home, a healthy favorite, they're down by two scores.

1453
01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:29,880
Speaker 5: It's go time, right.

1454
01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:32,439
Speaker 3: You would think a team as talented as Oregon would

1455
01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:34,559
Speaker 3: be able to move the ball better than they did.

1456
01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:37,880
Speaker 3: And so that's the thing with Signetti taking over at IU.

1457
01:14:38,280 --> 01:14:42,040
Speaker 3: It'd be one thing if this crazy turnaround was mainly

1458
01:14:42,160 --> 01:14:46,000
Speaker 3: because they just have this wide open, gimmicky, weird offense

1459
01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:48,360
Speaker 3: and they're like, we're just trying to score sixty four points.

1460
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:50,519
Speaker 5: You can score whatever you want. It's all good.

1461
01:14:50,560 --> 01:14:51,280
Speaker 2: We don't really care.

1462
01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:53,680
Speaker 5: And you're like, okay, that's not sustainable.

1463
01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:58,320
Speaker 3: But what IU has built so fast, like instantaneously, is

1464
01:14:58,479 --> 01:15:01,720
Speaker 3: sustainable because because of their formula. You know, that to

1465
01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:04,599
Speaker 3: me is the most impressive part about what Signetti has done,

1466
01:15:04,720 --> 01:15:08,120
Speaker 3: Like they have a formula already that's built to last.

1467
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:11,200
Speaker 3: So hats off to him. Man, maybe you can throw

1468
01:15:11,280 --> 01:15:13,040
Speaker 3: me a spare million. You know, he's got money to

1469
01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:15,840
Speaker 3: burn at this stage. Here we've got Rich Hornberger, Penn

Speaker 3: There's one prop that I loved last night. It's come

1484
01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:56,080
Speaker 3: down quite a bit.

1485
01:15:56,640 --> 01:15:57,479

1496
01:16:35,439 --> 01:16:38,479

01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:42,120
Speaker 3: and the like the de Niro Coke bottled glasses, just

1498
01:16:42,240 --> 01:16:44,720
Speaker 3: looking over pie charts and coming up with some big

1499
01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:45,559
Speaker 3: prop bet angles.

1500
01:16:45,600 --> 01:16:46,880
Speaker 2: Here, what do you have for Yeah?

1501
01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:48,519
Speaker 4: I was actually digging into a lot of film this

1502
01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:51,120
Speaker 4: week on USC's defense. You're gonna like this one a lot, Brian.

1503
01:16:51,160 --> 01:16:53,880
Speaker 4: I think Notre Dame offense has a big edge here

1504
01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:57,400
Speaker 4: in this game. Now we've seen this number for CJ.

1505
01:16:57,560 --> 01:17:00,280
Speaker 4: Carrs passing yards. Prop drops significantly this week. I did

1506
01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:02,519
Speaker 4: a video on Wednesday for BETMGM. It was two eighty

1507
01:17:02,560 --> 01:17:05,280
Speaker 4: five and a half. Now it's two sixty. I like

1508
01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:09,920
Speaker 4: it even more. Now here's why again, size matters people

1509
01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:15,040
Speaker 4: USC Secondary hosted this year. Why well, they're undersized. DJ

1510
01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:18,400
Speaker 4: Harvey five ten one ninety, Marcellus Williams Retro freshman five eleven,

1511
01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:21,040
Speaker 4: one eighty five. Raylan Conley freshman six to ozho one

1512
01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:24,200
Speaker 4: ninety de Carlos Nicholson sixty three, two hundred. He's a

1513
01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:26,360
Speaker 4: senior transfer. He's really the only big body they had,

1514
01:17:26,400 --> 01:17:29,240
Speaker 4: but Notre Dame's bodies are bigger. Eli raard In six

1515
01:17:29,360 --> 01:17:31,840
Speaker 4: seven two fifty, the tight end finally got going last week,

1516
01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:34,680
Speaker 4: and Malachi Fields. This guy is a stud six four

1517
01:17:34,680 --> 01:17:37,559
Speaker 4: to two twenty five true alpha receiver, averaging a career

1518
01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:40,479
Speaker 4: high nineteen yards per reception US. He's got problems if

1519
01:17:40,479 --> 01:17:42,160
Speaker 4: they have to commit bodies to the box to shut

1520
01:17:42,200 --> 01:17:45,080
Speaker 4: down this run game. They are exposed on the outside

1521
01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:48,720
Speaker 4: with these very small, undersized corners against.

1522
01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:50,840
Speaker 2: Very big Notre Dame receivers. Give me CJ.

1523
01:17:50,960 --> 01:17:52,840
Speaker 4: Car over to sixty and a half passing yards.

1524
01:17:53,680 --> 01:17:58,519
Speaker 2: South Carolina's quarterback Leonoris sellers under twenty two and a

1525
01:17:58,560 --> 01:18:02,360
Speaker 2: half yards rush. Here's the reason why they've had to

1526
01:18:02,439 --> 01:18:06,519
Speaker 2: reshuffle the offensive line. Okay, when you do that with

1527
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:09,960
Speaker 2: the team that's already given up nineteen sacks so far

1528
01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:13,920
Speaker 2: this season, it's not good for a rushing total for

1529
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:17,240
Speaker 2: a quarterback. They gave up five sacks against LSU, five

1530
01:18:17,320 --> 01:18:21,519
Speaker 2: sacks against MISSOO. Oklahoma has an elite defensive line. I

1531
01:18:21,560 --> 01:18:24,040
Speaker 2: think Leonora's Sellers is running for his life, but I

1532
01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:26,360
Speaker 2: think he's gonna get tackled behind the line of scrimmage

1533
01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:29,599
Speaker 2: a bunch. Give me Leonora's Sellers under the twenty two

1534
01:18:29,640 --> 01:18:33,120
Speaker 2: and a half. Okay, wow, I like it. I like

1535
01:18:33,200 --> 01:18:35,439
Speaker 2: the handicap right there, stunning the music.

1536
01:18:35,880 --> 01:18:36,719
Speaker 5: You stop the music.

1537
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:44,800
Speaker 2: I thought something went horribly wrong. It was good.

1538
01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:48,080
Speaker 3: It was under alert, you know the music, like the

1539
01:18:48,720 --> 01:18:52,200
Speaker 3: needle right off the record, emergency break on the broadcast.

1540
01:18:52,360 --> 01:18:57,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I'm gonna take the under baton from you.

1541
01:18:57,439 --> 01:18:59,760
Speaker 3: Like we're running the four by one hundred relay here,

1542
01:19:00,920 --> 01:19:03,639
Speaker 3: I'm looking at Missouri running back of mad Hardy, who's

1543
01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:07,080
Speaker 3: a stud d and his rushing prop.

1544
01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:09,200
Speaker 5: Total has come crashing down.

1545
01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:11,800
Speaker 3: Normally you don't get this on game day, right Like

1546
01:19:11,880 --> 01:19:14,680
Speaker 3: we're typically the public did a lot of people are

1547
01:19:14,720 --> 01:19:17,080
Speaker 3: betting overs, you know, sharp public whatever.

1548
01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:21,400
Speaker 5: But this is the different, the different movement here today.

1549
01:19:21,479 --> 01:19:22,280
Speaker 5: So mod Hardy.

1550
01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:25,160
Speaker 3: It was eighty eight and a half rushing yards last

1551
01:19:25,240 --> 01:19:26,400
Speaker 3: night at Auburn.

1552
01:19:26,479 --> 01:19:29,519
Speaker 5: It's down to seventy nine and a half rushing yards

1553
01:19:29,840 --> 01:19:30,519
Speaker 5: against Auburn.

1554
01:19:30,560 --> 01:19:33,360
Speaker 3: I still like the under I don't like not getting

1555
01:19:33,360 --> 01:19:36,120
Speaker 3: the best number, but I still do like the under This.

1556
01:19:36,240 --> 01:19:38,960
Speaker 5: Auburn rush defense is nasty.

1557
01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:42,040
Speaker 3: And when you saw for Beulah struggle the way he

1558
01:19:42,160 --> 01:19:44,760
Speaker 3: did last week, what do you think the defensive game

1559
01:19:44,800 --> 01:19:45,280
Speaker 3: plan is?

1560
01:19:45,400 --> 01:19:45,920
Speaker 5: Do you think it's?

1561
01:19:45,960 --> 01:19:47,799
Speaker 3: Hey, man, we got to just slow down for Beulah,

1562
01:19:47,960 --> 01:19:49,560
Speaker 3: like let him get whatever they want to get on

1563
01:19:49,640 --> 01:19:52,680
Speaker 3: the ground. No, they're led by their ground game. That's

1564
01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:55,160
Speaker 3: what Auburn does. Well, that's gonna be their focus heading

1565
01:19:55,200 --> 01:19:57,679
Speaker 3: into this thing. So I like a mod hardy under

1566
01:19:57,720 --> 01:19:59,640
Speaker 3: seventy nine and a half rushing yard. It's gonna have

1567
01:19:59,680 --> 01:20:03,080
Speaker 3: to game tackle this guy. He's legit, but I think

1568
01:20:03,120 --> 01:20:06,040
Speaker 3: he stays under right down all right? Coming up next?

1569
01:20:06,720 --> 01:20:09,240
Speaker 3: Which team are you more skeptical of?

1570
01:20:11,200 --> 01:20:12,040
Speaker 2: Oh? What is going on?

1571
01:20:12,240 --> 01:20:15,679
Speaker 3: Happy Saturday to you as we get you all set

1572
01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:18,080
Speaker 3: for Notre Dame. Now I'm just kidding, as we get

1573
01:20:18,160 --> 01:20:20,400
Speaker 3: all set for a full slate of college football action,

1574
01:20:20,520 --> 01:20:23,320
Speaker 3: including Notre Dame right around the corner, though, but we

1575
01:20:23,960 --> 01:20:27,280
Speaker 3: focus on a top ten matchup first. How about number

1576
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:32,040
Speaker 3: five All miss against number nine Georgia. Georgia favored by

1577
01:20:32,200 --> 01:20:34,960
Speaker 3: seven totals at fifty seven and a half. It's ticked

1578
01:20:35,040 --> 01:20:38,280
Speaker 3: up a little bit during the week, simple question, which

1579
01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:41,800
Speaker 3: team are you more skeptical of? I'll give you a

1580
01:20:41,840 --> 01:20:45,360
Speaker 3: couple of, like small picture reasons to doubt both teams.

1581
01:20:45,520 --> 01:20:49,000
Speaker 3: So how about Georgia. They can't get off the field

1582
01:20:49,040 --> 01:20:52,240
Speaker 3: on third down. That's their their main problem right now.

1583
01:20:52,680 --> 01:20:56,959
Speaker 3: They rank thirteenth in the SEC and third down defense,

1584
01:20:57,520 --> 01:20:59,960
Speaker 3: So opponents are converting about forty percent of the time.

1585
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:02,719
Speaker 3: I'm on them on third down. That's a huge problem,

1586
01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:05,679
Speaker 3: Ole miss. One of their big problems. Their rush defense

1587
01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:09,439
Speaker 3: is brutal. They're one hundred and sixth in yards per

1588
01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:13,479
Speaker 3: carrie giving up. That doesn't include sacks when you're in

1589
01:21:13,520 --> 01:21:16,559
Speaker 3: the one hundreds of anything that's really bad, really bad.

1590
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:20,120
Speaker 3: So those are a couple of, like, you know, small

1591
01:21:20,160 --> 01:21:23,200
Speaker 3: picture things, like the micro things, but if you look

1592
01:21:23,280 --> 01:21:27,360
Speaker 3: big picture here outside of that small stuff, just in general,

1593
01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:29,680
Speaker 3: who do you who are you more skeptical of?

1594
01:21:29,920 --> 01:21:31,160
Speaker 5: Is it old miss who?

1595
01:21:31,479 --> 01:21:33,719
Speaker 3: They'll They'll dazzle you a little bit, and then last

1596
01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:37,559
Speaker 3: week they're you know, they're sleep walking against Washington State.

1597
01:21:38,680 --> 01:21:41,360
Speaker 3: They don't have like that huge win in a season,

1598
01:21:41,520 --> 01:21:42,960
Speaker 3: or maybe they do have a big win and they

1599
01:21:43,040 --> 01:21:45,920
Speaker 3: can't parlay it into another big win. Give you reasons

1600
01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:49,320
Speaker 3: to doubt them, and then Georgia we compared to Alabama

1601
01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:50,840
Speaker 3: to what they once were. If you do the same

1602
01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:52,880
Speaker 3: thing with Georgia and what they once were, they're not

1603
01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:55,280
Speaker 3: there right now. So who are you more skeptical of

1604
01:21:55,439 --> 01:21:56,400
Speaker 3: heading into this one?

1605
01:21:57,520 --> 01:21:57,680
Speaker 7: Man?

1606
01:21:57,800 --> 01:22:01,639
Speaker 2: Who am I more skeptical of guess ole Miss? Especially

1607
01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:04,400
Speaker 2: considering they're playing at one of the more difficult venues

1608
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:07,920
Speaker 2: in the country to win at. But I will say

1609
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:13,960
Speaker 2: this Ole Miss they can pour it on and they

1610
01:22:14,120 --> 01:22:17,439
Speaker 2: probably will today. I mean, there are only fifteen teams

1611
01:22:17,520 --> 01:22:19,920
Speaker 2: nationally to average more than twenty points over the first

1612
01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:24,360
Speaker 2: two quarters, and they've averaged over twenty points over the

1613
01:22:24,400 --> 01:22:27,080
Speaker 2: first two quarters of play. So they can get on

1614
01:22:27,200 --> 01:22:29,800
Speaker 2: the board early, and they can get a lot of

1615
01:22:29,880 --> 01:22:33,080
Speaker 2: teams that they're facing to chase them. The question is

1616
01:22:33,680 --> 01:22:37,479
Speaker 2: can they keep Georgia, even if they lead early in

1617
01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:40,599
Speaker 2: this game behind them the whole way? It's tall task

1618
01:22:40,760 --> 01:22:41,920
Speaker 2: playing between the hedges.

1619
01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:46,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll be honest, I think I trust Georgia waymore.

1620
01:22:46,680 --> 01:22:50,880
Speaker 4: I mean, it's Trinidad Chambliss. He's had an unbelievable start

1621
01:22:50,960 --> 01:22:54,120
Speaker 4: this career, but this will be his first road start,

1622
01:22:55,000 --> 01:22:57,880
Speaker 4: and things don't always go as well on the road, Like,

1623
01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:01,720
Speaker 4: I can't trust the team in college football until you

1624
01:23:01,880 --> 01:23:04,280
Speaker 4: go on the road and win a tough game. Until

1625
01:23:04,320 --> 01:23:09,120
Speaker 4: you do that, I am still reserving my judgment, reserving

1626
01:23:09,160 --> 01:23:10,680
Speaker 4: my opinion. When you go on the road and you

1627
01:23:10,720 --> 01:23:12,880
Speaker 4: win a tough football game in a tough environment, then

1628
01:23:13,120 --> 01:23:15,880
Speaker 4: I start to take you seriously. Their one road game

1629
01:23:15,960 --> 01:23:18,519
Speaker 4: this year was at Kentucky and they barely got past Kentucky.

1630
01:23:18,560 --> 01:23:20,160
Speaker 4: Remember laying after the game was like, I'm sorry we

1631
01:23:20,200 --> 01:23:24,200
Speaker 4: couldn't cover this spread. That was their only time leaving

1632
01:23:24,479 --> 01:23:26,600
Speaker 4: the state of Mississippi all year. Well, now they go

1633
01:23:26,680 --> 01:23:28,800
Speaker 4: to Georgia, which, as Rich has said, one of the

1634
01:23:28,840 --> 01:23:32,080
Speaker 4: toughest places to play. The script to this game feels

1635
01:23:32,200 --> 01:23:34,640
Speaker 4: like ole Miss gets off to the fast start and

1636
01:23:34,760 --> 01:23:37,960
Speaker 4: then Georgia wakes up, kind of similar to what happened

1637
01:23:38,040 --> 01:23:41,200
Speaker 4: last week. Here's the difference with last week, though last

1638
01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:44,479
Speaker 4: week Georgia was facing Auburn, which has a much more

1639
01:23:44,840 --> 01:23:50,560
Speaker 4: methodical offense, not as explosive. Can Georgia catch right? Like

1640
01:23:50,680 --> 01:23:53,280
Speaker 4: the Tortoise and the hair, The hair is gonna start fast,

1641
01:23:53,400 --> 01:23:55,120
Speaker 4: Lane Kiffin's gonna have a great script. I'm sure Ole

1642
01:23:55,120 --> 01:23:57,920
Speaker 4: Miss will start fast can the tortoise catch the hair

1643
01:23:57,960 --> 01:23:59,840
Speaker 4: in this scenario when the hair is a little bit quicker,

1644
01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:02,640
Speaker 4: a little bit more shifty with Ole Miss than it

1645
01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:05,760
Speaker 4: was with Auburn last week. I think Alexander's your X

1646
01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:08,280
Speaker 4: factor here. They're gonna line him up all over the field,

1647
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:10,519
Speaker 4: and he's coming back to his home state. He's a

1648
01:24:10,520 --> 01:24:12,560
Speaker 4: Georgia kid coming back home. I'm sure he wants to

1649
01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:16,000
Speaker 4: show up and show out. I kind of like Georgia

1650
01:24:16,040 --> 01:24:17,599
Speaker 4: here minus the points. I think if you were gonna

1651
01:24:17,600 --> 01:24:19,280
Speaker 4: ask me again, Brian, to go back to your original question,

1652
01:24:19,479 --> 01:24:21,519
Speaker 4: do I trust link Kiffin on the road with kind

1653
01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:24,120
Speaker 4: of a rookie quarterback more than I do the best

1654
01:24:24,160 --> 01:24:28,880
Speaker 4: defensive coach in our generation to get the most out

1655
01:24:28,880 --> 01:24:31,599
Speaker 4: of his talent. Like George is still very talented on paper,

1656
01:24:31,600 --> 01:24:34,240
Speaker 4: They're very young. We haven't seen their ceiling yet. I

1657
01:24:34,360 --> 01:24:36,200
Speaker 4: do think at some point we are going to see

1658
01:24:36,240 --> 01:24:39,640
Speaker 4: George's defense flash. Maybe this isn't the week because of

1659
01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:42,360
Speaker 4: the matchup, but I definitely trust Kirby in this spot more.

1660
01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:46,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I get it, totally get that. How about

1661
01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:48,760
Speaker 3: if we stick with the SEC. How about Texas A

1662
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:52,080
Speaker 3: and M against Arkansas? Another good matchup so you have

1663
01:24:52,200 --> 01:24:55,920
Speaker 3: top five team against an unranked team. But the thing

1664
01:24:56,040 --> 01:24:58,360
Speaker 3: to me in this one is if you look at

1665
01:24:58,400 --> 01:25:01,640
Speaker 3: Texas A and M when they played Notre Dame and

1666
01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:05,000
Speaker 3: they won forty one to forty, they have taken that

1667
01:25:05,160 --> 01:25:08,240
Speaker 3: formula and they've been like, Yeah, let's do less of this,

1668
01:25:08,560 --> 01:25:11,400
Speaker 3: Let's do less of these crazy shootouts. Let's try to

1669
01:25:11,479 --> 01:25:13,760
Speaker 3: lean in our defense, Let's do a little bit more

1670
01:25:13,840 --> 01:25:16,519
Speaker 3: ball control instead of just up and down the field.

1671
01:25:16,600 --> 01:25:20,120
Speaker 3: And it's this wide open, crazy style. So Mike Elco,

1672
01:25:20,280 --> 01:25:22,479
Speaker 3: he's tried to rely on his defense a lot more.

1673
01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:26,839
Speaker 3: The question against Arkansas who can have an explosive offense.

1674
01:25:26,920 --> 01:25:29,679
Speaker 3: Taylor Green and company. They can gain yards and chunks,

1675
01:25:29,880 --> 01:25:31,599
Speaker 3: they can put up a lot of points on the board.

1676
01:25:32,320 --> 01:25:36,080
Speaker 3: Can Arkansas forced Texas A and M to play a

1677
01:25:36,200 --> 01:25:38,720
Speaker 3: style that they don't really want to play here?

1678
01:25:39,120 --> 01:25:40,920
Speaker 5: I think that's one of the main questions.

1679
01:25:40,600 --> 01:25:41,040
Speaker 4: In that one.

1680
01:25:41,560 --> 01:25:43,880
Speaker 2: I just sort of feel like in this game, even

1681
01:25:43,920 --> 01:25:47,040
Speaker 2: though Texas A and M has an elite defense nationally

1682
01:25:47,160 --> 01:25:49,800
Speaker 2: ranked in all of the stat categories you want them

1683
01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:54,320
Speaker 2: to be, Arkansas has big play potential on every single down,

1684
01:25:54,479 --> 01:25:57,320
Speaker 2: especially because of the play of Tailing Green. Their quarterbackers,

1685
01:25:58,040 --> 01:26:02,080
Speaker 2: dual threat, uber talented. I really has buoyed this offense

1686
01:26:02,200 --> 01:26:05,439
Speaker 2: for the Razorbacks all season long. And then you look

1687
01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:08,280
Speaker 2: at the Aggis offense a little bit more of a

1688
01:26:08,400 --> 01:26:12,720
Speaker 2: methodical approach. They're not the big play team that the

1689
01:26:12,840 --> 01:26:17,000
Speaker 2: Razorbacks are. Arkansas is gonna get chunk plays. They're gonna

1690
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:19,120
Speaker 2: find their way down the field and you know, some

1691
01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:23,640
Speaker 2: explosive moments. It's a little bit more like the traditional

1692
01:26:24,240 --> 01:26:28,080
Speaker 2: SEC slugfest you're used to seeing when Texas A and

1693
01:26:28,200 --> 01:26:30,920
Speaker 2: M has the ball. So I could see this. I

1694
01:26:30,960 --> 01:26:34,479
Speaker 2: could see this actually being a higher scoring game. I

1695
01:26:34,920 --> 01:26:38,559
Speaker 2: know an M can give up ground grudgingly, but sometimes

1696
01:26:38,640 --> 01:26:41,200
Speaker 2: the best way to beat a defense like that is

1697
01:26:41,280 --> 01:26:43,400
Speaker 2: to throw it over the top, or you know, to

1698
01:26:43,520 --> 01:26:45,720
Speaker 2: make one tackle or miss and then you're off to

1699
01:26:45,800 --> 01:26:49,360
Speaker 2: the races. And then, in terms of A and M,

1700
01:26:49,479 --> 01:26:51,519
Speaker 2: I don't think Arkansas is gonna be able to stop

1701
01:26:51,600 --> 01:26:55,080
Speaker 2: what they do offensively, So I think this is gonna

1702
01:26:55,080 --> 01:27:01,400
Speaker 2: be kind of a punch fest. I feel like the Razorbacks,

1703
01:27:01,479 --> 01:27:04,559
Speaker 2: especially if they score early, say they get up by

1704
01:27:04,680 --> 01:27:07,200
Speaker 2: ten at any point in the first half or the

1705
01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:10,720
Speaker 2: first three quarters, I feel like the points scoring could

1706
01:27:10,800 --> 01:27:12,120
Speaker 2: really creep up in this one.

1707
01:27:13,040 --> 01:27:16,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, totals dropped because of some weather, perhaps in Fayetteville.

1708
01:27:16,960 --> 01:27:20,120
Speaker 4: I'm not a meteorologist. It looks like storms, it looks

1709
01:27:20,200 --> 01:27:22,439
Speaker 4: like it's scattered. It looks like it could come during

1710
01:27:22,520 --> 01:27:25,880
Speaker 4: game time. It could not. The wind looks relatively light, though,

1711
01:27:26,320 --> 01:27:30,040
Speaker 4: so that's always more important to me than rain. I

1712
01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:32,479
Speaker 4: love this matchup. Why do I love this matchup? I

1713
01:27:32,640 --> 01:27:37,880
Speaker 4: love when coaching staffs have histories. Bobby Patrino, offensive coordinator

1714
01:27:37,920 --> 01:27:39,920
Speaker 4: at Texas A and M in twenty twenty three under

1715
01:27:39,960 --> 01:27:43,400
Speaker 4: Jimbo Fisher. Fisher gets fired, they bring in Elko. Elko

1716
01:27:43,479 --> 01:27:46,160
Speaker 4: says thanks, but no thanks, Bobby. I'll look elsewhere from

1717
01:27:46,200 --> 01:27:50,200
Speaker 4: IOC job. Patrino. Actually, I was watching the presser this week.

1718
01:27:50,280 --> 01:27:52,920
Speaker 4: He coached Mars like Marshall Reid was a red shirt

1719
01:27:53,520 --> 01:27:56,600
Speaker 4: in twenty three. He wasn't playing yet, but Patrino was

1720
01:27:56,640 --> 01:28:01,800
Speaker 4: his offensive coordinator. So I again, really interesting dynamic. Of course,

1721
01:28:01,840 --> 01:28:04,280
Speaker 4: Petrino has been in the SEC before. He wasn't the

1722
01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:06,080
Speaker 4: head coach at Arkansas for a while. You know, he's

1723
01:28:06,160 --> 01:28:08,519
Speaker 4: bounce around some other jobs and now he gets his

1724
01:28:08,640 --> 01:28:12,400
Speaker 4: introm tag plays to him, and it was it's kind

1725
01:28:12,439 --> 01:28:15,519
Speaker 4: of funny. I don't think it's a coincidence, guys, that

1726
01:28:16,600 --> 01:28:21,200
Speaker 4: Arkansas couldn't move the ball for worth a darn against

1727
01:28:21,280 --> 01:28:23,439
Speaker 4: Notre Dame, and then all of a sudden, you get

1728
01:28:23,560 --> 01:28:26,519
Speaker 4: Pittman fired, and now Arkansas's offense wakes up against Tennessee.

1729
01:28:26,600 --> 01:28:26,920
Speaker 6: Look at that?

1730
01:28:27,040 --> 01:28:30,280
Speaker 4: How about that? It's absolute magic. Maybe Petrino, oh, that's

1731
01:28:30,280 --> 01:28:32,200
Speaker 4: sandbag and son of a gun. Maybe he was holding

1732
01:28:32,240 --> 01:28:35,200
Speaker 4: back some plays against Notre Dame knowing that the end

1733
01:28:35,280 --> 01:28:37,200
Speaker 4: was coming for Pittman, and then all of a sudden

1734
01:28:37,640 --> 01:28:40,360
Speaker 4: it woke up. I think Elko the one thing I

1735
01:28:40,520 --> 01:28:43,000
Speaker 4: like about his game is that he's a very disciplined coach.

1736
01:28:43,360 --> 01:28:46,879
Speaker 4: He preaches it every week, penalty for his sack free defense.

1737
01:28:47,040 --> 01:28:50,760
Speaker 4: Balance like, I like his approach. I don't know what

1738
01:28:50,880 --> 01:28:52,479
Speaker 4: the ceiling is for A and M just yet. I

1739
01:28:52,520 --> 01:28:54,360
Speaker 4: think they're a good team. I don't think they're in

1740
01:28:54,439 --> 01:28:57,600
Speaker 4: that great category, but because they've stacked some w's in

1741
01:28:57,680 --> 01:29:00,360
Speaker 4: the SEC, they're probably going to be in the playoff.

1742
01:29:00,439 --> 01:29:04,360
Speaker 4: They should win this game. But it's Petrino's first game

1743
01:29:04,439 --> 01:29:06,760
Speaker 4: as the interim coach at home. You would expect there

1744
01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:08,480
Speaker 4: to be some buzz in Fayetteville.

1745
01:29:08,760 --> 01:29:09,479
Speaker 2: This is a fun one.

1746
01:29:09,520 --> 01:29:12,040
Speaker 4: I agree with Richard's take. I think points, especially now

1747
01:29:12,200 --> 01:29:15,800
Speaker 4: totals drop to fifty eight. I think both of these

1748
01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:18,080
Speaker 4: teams probably are sniffing thirty. One of them is definitely

1749
01:29:18,080 --> 01:29:18,679
Speaker 4: getting a thirty.

1750
01:29:19,680 --> 01:29:23,439
Speaker 5: Wow the sand bagging angle right there, Huh, how about that?

1751
01:29:23,880 --> 01:29:25,639
Speaker 5: I like a good conspiracy theory.

1752
01:29:25,760 --> 01:29:30,000
Speaker 3: But man, Tennessee's defense is just trash, you know what

1753
01:29:30,080 --> 01:29:32,400
Speaker 3: I mean, Like it's so I don't know that he's

1754
01:29:32,439 --> 01:29:35,240
Speaker 3: holding back against Notre Dame and now they're high flying.

1755
01:29:35,479 --> 01:29:37,840
Speaker 3: I just think Tennessee's defense is so bad, you know,

1756
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:41,280
Speaker 3: I don't know if you can sandbag if the weeks

1757
01:29:41,280 --> 01:29:42,760
Speaker 3: were flip flopped, you know what I mean? Can you

1758
01:29:42,880 --> 01:29:45,599
Speaker 3: sandbag as an offense against Tennessee?

1759
01:29:45,880 --> 01:29:48,160
Speaker 5: That'd be hard to do. That'd be a hard one

1760
01:29:48,200 --> 01:29:49,120
Speaker 5: to pull off right there.

1761
01:29:49,200 --> 01:29:51,600
Speaker 2: But you know, I don't know. I don't know.

1762
01:29:51,800 --> 01:29:54,080
Speaker 5: We'll see interesting theory right there.

1763
01:29:54,800 --> 01:29:56,960
Speaker 3: But I'll tell you what they always say, defense travels,

1764
01:29:57,439 --> 01:29:59,200
Speaker 3: and we'll find out today if Texas A and M

1765
01:29:59,280 --> 01:30:02,840
Speaker 3: their defense been really really good in SEC play and

1766
01:30:02,920 --> 01:30:05,599
Speaker 3: it's a tougher task man like Arkansas has a lot

1767
01:30:05,680 --> 01:30:08,519
Speaker 3: of weapons, and rich you've seen Taylor green a Ton.

1768
01:30:09,080 --> 01:30:11,160
Speaker 3: We both have hold him in high regard. He is

1769
01:30:11,200 --> 01:30:16,280
Speaker 3: a playmaker, but you know, rushing wise throwing the ball.

1770
01:30:17,120 --> 01:30:19,719
Speaker 3: So we'll see they this Texas A and M defense,

1771
01:30:19,760 --> 01:30:23,240
Speaker 3: they're like the opposite of Georgia. Georgia is having a

1772
01:30:23,280 --> 01:30:25,920
Speaker 3: hard time getting off the field on third down. That's

1773
01:30:25,960 --> 01:30:29,280
Speaker 3: all Texas A and M does. They've allowed like one

1774
01:30:29,479 --> 01:30:32,720
Speaker 3: third down conversion over the last couple of games. You know,

1775
01:30:32,920 --> 01:30:35,519
Speaker 3: like that, when you're getting off the field on third down,

1776
01:30:36,479 --> 01:30:39,960
Speaker 3: it just sets everything up for your offense, your team collectively.

1777
01:30:40,400 --> 01:30:42,960
Speaker 3: That's the challenge for Georgia getting off the field. That's

1778
01:30:43,040 --> 01:30:44,160
Speaker 3: the luxury right now.

1779
01:30:44,280 --> 01:30:46,320
Speaker 5: Texas A and M. They're doing a great job getting

1780
01:30:46,360 --> 01:30:47,040
Speaker 5: off the field.

1781
01:30:46,880 --> 01:30:47,519
Speaker 4: On third down.

1782
01:30:48,400 --> 01:30:52,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they absolutely are. And also they have they

1783
01:30:52,640 --> 01:30:57,679
Speaker 2: have an incredible success rate you know, against against teams

1784
01:30:57,760 --> 01:31:01,000
Speaker 2: in terms of you know, playing penalty free. They don't

1785
01:31:01,040 --> 01:31:03,439
Speaker 2: make mistakes. The one place they could use a little

1786
01:31:03,479 --> 01:31:06,880
Speaker 2: work defensively, if I'm being perfectly honest, really digging into

1787
01:31:07,560 --> 01:31:09,639
Speaker 2: what they've done over the course of the whole season,

1788
01:31:10,400 --> 01:31:13,519
Speaker 2: is they give up some explosives. If you look at

1789
01:31:14,160 --> 01:31:19,439
Speaker 2: if you look at explosive plays allowed against that's where

1790
01:31:19,560 --> 01:31:22,680
Speaker 2: A and M struggles. So again, This sets up to

1791
01:31:22,760 --> 01:31:25,160
Speaker 2: be a little bit of a Barnberg burner if the

1792
01:31:25,240 --> 01:31:30,040
Speaker 2: weather holds up. If that doesn't become a factor talent.

1793
01:31:30,120 --> 01:31:32,560
Speaker 2: Green has all the talent around him, and then he

1794
01:31:32,680 --> 01:31:35,080
Speaker 2: does possess the talent to make it hard on a

1795
01:31:35,160 --> 01:31:38,760
Speaker 2: team that gives up explosive plays. And then likewise, I

1796
01:31:38,920 --> 01:31:41,280
Speaker 2: don't think the razorbacks are gonna be able to hold

1797
01:31:41,360 --> 01:31:45,599
Speaker 2: the dam against a highly efficient offense. So I think

1798
01:31:45,760 --> 01:31:48,720
Speaker 2: points are gonna be the premium today in this game

1799
01:31:48,920 --> 01:31:50,600
Speaker 2: between Arkansas and A and M.

1800
01:31:51,479 --> 01:31:54,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm betting the over. I was already gonna think

1801
01:31:54,439 --> 01:31:57,280
Speaker 4: about betting it this week, and now that it's dropped,

1802
01:31:57,680 --> 01:31:59,280
Speaker 4: I think you have to bet the over. And I

1803
01:31:59,320 --> 01:32:01,639
Speaker 4: think if you really want to get fun, you throw

1804
01:32:01,760 --> 01:32:07,200
Speaker 4: in a Marcel Reid and Taylor Green anytime touchdown parlay

1805
01:32:07,640 --> 01:32:11,840
Speaker 4: with the over. Listen. The one thing I've noticed in

1806
01:32:11,880 --> 01:32:15,439
Speaker 4: college football this year is in the red zone, good

1807
01:32:15,479 --> 01:32:19,760
Speaker 4: offenses will run their quarterback. It just because it's such

1808
01:32:19,800 --> 01:32:23,120
Speaker 4: a numbers game. And when you can add that plus one,

1809
01:32:23,400 --> 01:32:25,240
Speaker 4: and what I mean by plus one is if you

1810
01:32:25,360 --> 01:32:28,120
Speaker 4: turn the running back into a blocker and your quarterback

1811
01:32:28,240 --> 01:32:31,679
Speaker 4: is the runner, it just gives you that extra edge

1812
01:32:31,760 --> 01:32:33,920
Speaker 4: to get that extra yard or two. And in the

1813
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:36,160
Speaker 4: red zone that matters so much more than it does,

1814
01:32:36,320 --> 01:32:38,800
Speaker 4: you know, at midfield. So I think the one thing

1815
01:32:38,840 --> 01:32:42,360
Speaker 4: you look for with good quarterbacks that have mobility in

1816
01:32:42,560 --> 01:32:46,160
Speaker 4: high scoring games, you look for red zone quarterback draws,

1817
01:32:46,240 --> 01:32:49,760
Speaker 4: red zone quarterback powers, counters where your quarterback is the

1818
01:32:49,800 --> 01:32:51,599
Speaker 4: plus one in the run game. And I think that's

1819
01:32:51,720 --> 01:32:55,360
Speaker 4: both of these teams. Embody that to a t especially Arkansas,

1820
01:32:55,560 --> 01:32:57,320
Speaker 4: but A and M they like to spread you out.

1821
01:32:57,479 --> 01:32:59,600
Speaker 4: No Leveon Moss this week. It's gonna be backups in

1822
01:32:59,640 --> 01:33:01,960
Speaker 4: the run game. Now they have a good backfield to

1823
01:33:02,960 --> 01:33:05,840
Speaker 4: you know, pick from. But in the red zone, when

1824
01:33:05,880 --> 01:33:08,439
Speaker 4: the money's on the line, I want my best players

1825
01:33:08,479 --> 01:33:10,479
Speaker 4: carrying the ball, and in this case that's Marceau Reid

1826
01:33:10,640 --> 01:33:12,760
Speaker 4: and Taylor Green. So I think that's a fun way

1827
01:33:12,760 --> 01:33:14,719
Speaker 4: to play this game. I bet the Taylor Green prop

1828
01:33:15,200 --> 01:33:17,840
Speaker 4: touchdown prop solo. It's plus money. And I think I'm

1829
01:33:17,840 --> 01:33:19,280
Speaker 4: gonna get to the window on the over as well.

1830
01:33:20,120 --> 01:33:25,920
Speaker 5: All right, I like this very confident Jared Smith right here, Yeah.

1831
01:33:26,240 --> 01:33:33,040
Speaker 4: Correpa there, Yeah, Saturday morning, baby, Yes, hey in state stinks.

1832
01:33:33,040 --> 01:33:35,120
Speaker 4: I got nothing else to go on here, it's grunked Ober.

1833
01:33:35,200 --> 01:33:36,720
Speaker 2: Wake up, kids, it's grunkked.

1834
01:33:36,439 --> 01:33:37,559
Speaker 5: Ober in Iowa.

1835

Speaker 5: to my former.

1876
01:35:52,400 --> 01:35:57,040
Speaker 3: Friends Bo Benson and Chris Drippet, you know, because of

1877
01:35:57,120 --> 01:36:01,000
Speaker 3: this Notre Dame, the USC rivalry, but like you might

1878
01:36:01,040 --> 01:36:04,280
Speaker 3: have picked at this, Jared, did you see Otani one

1879
01:36:04,520 --> 01:36:09,360
Speaker 3: NLCS MVP and heading into game four he had done nothing.

1880
01:36:09,840 --> 01:36:13,320
Speaker 3: I would love to know what the best price heading

1881
01:36:13,400 --> 01:36:16,120
Speaker 3: into game four would have been for Otani to win MVP.

1882
01:36:16,560 --> 01:36:18,759
Speaker 4: I didn't track it. I don't even know if they're listed.

1883
01:36:18,960 --> 01:36:21,240
Speaker 4: I'll be honest, that's not a market that I see

1884
01:36:21,720 --> 01:36:24,720
Speaker 4: very often. Maybe in far away lands, but definitely not

1885
01:36:24,840 --> 01:36:27,160
Speaker 4: at BETMGYM. Also, I would like to make an official

1886
01:36:27,280 --> 01:36:31,240
Speaker 4: request to management that every segment be bumped back in

1887
01:36:31,400 --> 01:36:34,679
Speaker 4: with a different college football fight song, because that well, yeah,

1888
01:36:34,760 --> 01:36:36,880
Speaker 4: and I know USC it's you know, we're doing it

1889
01:36:36,960 --> 01:36:38,640
Speaker 4: to kind of troll Brian because they're playing Notre Dame

1890
01:36:38,680 --> 01:36:41,160
Speaker 4: this week. But the so so fun fact when I

1891
01:36:41,240 --> 01:36:43,240
Speaker 4: used to have warm ups in high school football, our

1892
01:36:43,520 --> 01:36:47,240
Speaker 4: coach only played college fight songs, and so it stirs

1893
01:36:47,360 --> 01:36:50,360
Speaker 4: the echoes in me. I love college football fights.

1894
01:36:50,479 --> 01:36:53,120
Speaker 1: I have a good collection of college football fight song

1895
01:36:53,160 --> 01:36:54,760
Speaker 1: so I might be able to make this happen if I.

1896
01:36:54,800 --> 01:36:58,160
Speaker 5: Get the beat out like every time. I every once

1897
01:36:58,200 --> 01:37:00,599
Speaker 5: in a while, I know the words the wake Forest

1898
01:37:00,680 --> 01:37:03,200
Speaker 5: fight song, like we can make this work.

1899
01:37:03,400 --> 01:37:04,840
Speaker 2: Wow, some of them are really good.

1900
01:37:05,640 --> 01:37:07,520
Speaker 5: Wake Forest is extremely underrated.

1901
01:37:07,560 --> 01:37:09,160
Speaker 1: That might be have to be next bounced back.

1902
01:37:09,520 --> 01:37:11,360
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, fair enough.

1903
01:37:11,439 --> 01:37:16,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, by the way, this Notre Dame USC rivalry is

1904
01:37:16,920 --> 01:37:20,960
Speaker 3: on thin ice. We don't have any game scheduled after

1905
01:37:21,200 --> 01:37:24,839
Speaker 3: this game today. And I get some of it, like, honestly,

1906
01:37:25,080 --> 01:37:27,880
Speaker 3: this is you know, South Bend born Notre Dame.

1907
01:37:27,960 --> 01:37:28,240
Speaker 2: Honk.

1908
01:37:28,720 --> 01:37:30,800
Speaker 3: I'll be completely honest with you, and then I'll take

1909
01:37:30,840 --> 01:37:32,439
Speaker 3: a complete cheap shot at USC.

1910
01:37:32,800 --> 01:37:33,880
Speaker 2: You know that's what I have to do.

1911
01:37:35,120 --> 01:37:38,559
Speaker 3: But I do, honestly, I do get it because if

1912
01:37:38,600 --> 01:37:41,240
Speaker 3: you look at USC, you're in the Big Ten. In

1913
01:37:41,320 --> 01:37:43,439
Speaker 3: a given year, you might have a gauntlet of a

1914
01:37:43,520 --> 01:37:47,040
Speaker 3: Big Ten schedule, so to schedule up in the non

1915
01:37:47,160 --> 01:37:50,360
Speaker 3: conference when that could cost you a playoff berth. I

1916
01:37:50,560 --> 01:37:54,720
Speaker 3: get why this rivalry is on thin ice, because you

1917
01:37:54,760 --> 01:37:56,519
Speaker 3: can make an argument it just doesn't make all the

1918
01:37:56,760 --> 01:37:59,200
Speaker 3: sense in the world for USC to continue it in

1919
01:37:59,400 --> 01:38:04,840
Speaker 3: terms of playoff aspirations. Right, So I do, on one hand,

1920
01:38:04,960 --> 01:38:07,640
Speaker 3: absolutely get this. Now the football fan in me, and

1921
01:38:07,800 --> 01:38:10,560
Speaker 3: especially a lover of this rivalry. It would be so

1922
01:38:10,920 --> 01:38:14,280
Speaker 3: sad to see this go away. I get the logistics

1923
01:38:14,439 --> 01:38:17,719
Speaker 3: and the you know, like the personal advantages and reasons

1924
01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:21,680
Speaker 3: for SEC for USC not wanting to play Notre Dame,

1925
01:38:21,760 --> 01:38:24,760
Speaker 3: but I mean, it just sucks for a rivalry like

1926
01:38:24,840 --> 01:38:26,479
Speaker 3: this to possibly not continue.

1927
01:38:26,520 --> 01:38:28,719
Speaker 5: That's just not good for college football as a whole.

1928
01:38:29,360 --> 01:38:32,880
Speaker 2: Well, especially because when you look at the matchup and

1929
01:38:33,280 --> 01:38:36,479
Speaker 2: the fact that this is not a conference rivalry, and

1930
01:38:36,560 --> 01:38:40,400
Speaker 2: the fact that USC has not played well when it

1931
01:38:40,479 --> 01:38:44,320
Speaker 2: crosses time zones and faces big ten teams on the road.

1932
01:38:45,400 --> 01:38:50,280
Speaker 2: You could see the reluctance of especially SC but maybe

1933
01:38:50,400 --> 01:38:55,519
Speaker 2: Notre Dame at some point too traveling to continue this tradition.

1934
01:38:55,720 --> 01:38:59,439
Speaker 2: And that is the unfortunate reality of conference realignment. But

1935
01:39:00,400 --> 01:39:03,439
Speaker 2: on this game and talking about the reality of what

1936
01:39:03,640 --> 01:39:07,760
Speaker 2: we're about to see, here's the good news for Notre Dame.

1937
01:39:07,800 --> 01:39:11,040
Speaker 2: I think overall they're the better team. Here's the bad news.

1938
01:39:11,800 --> 01:39:15,600
Speaker 2: I think Maeva is one of the better quarterbacks in

1939
01:39:15,720 --> 01:39:20,200
Speaker 2: college football right now, and he's particularly successful against single,

1940
01:39:20,479 --> 01:39:23,760
Speaker 2: single high coverage, which is what you're gonna see a

1941
01:39:23,840 --> 01:39:28,559
Speaker 2: lot from Notre Dame. They run a very large portion

1942
01:39:28,960 --> 01:39:31,200
Speaker 2: of their defense is going to come out of that

1943
01:39:31,320 --> 01:39:36,519
Speaker 2: cover one single high package. They like to zone blitz.

1944
01:39:37,160 --> 01:39:40,240
Speaker 2: Miava has been successful and he's had a high success

1945
01:39:40,360 --> 01:39:45,880
Speaker 2: rate against teams that that that run that particular coverage.

1946
01:39:45,920 --> 01:39:48,920
Speaker 2: So I'm very curious to see what happens in this game,

1947
01:39:49,240 --> 01:39:53,400
Speaker 2: especially from a passing standpoint, when USC has controlled of football.

1948
01:39:54,080 --> 01:39:56,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll be honest. I really like the matchups for

1949
01:39:56,560 --> 01:39:58,120
Speaker 4: Notre Dame. And we mentioned this and prop it up.

1950
01:39:58,200 --> 01:40:00,120
Speaker 4: I like the matchups for Notre Dame's offense. Again, this

1951
01:40:00,240 --> 01:40:03,080
Speaker 4: USC defense. The film that I'm watching on CJ. Carr

1952
01:40:03,400 --> 01:40:07,160
Speaker 4: is showing me that he's making improvements in his freshman year.

1953
01:40:07,560 --> 01:40:10,799
Speaker 4: And that's what I love about college football. The markets

1954
01:40:10,920 --> 01:40:14,680
Speaker 4: sometimes don't fully catch up to a freshman or an

1955
01:40:15,280 --> 01:40:19,240
Speaker 4: unheralded player making improvements or you know, on the other side,

1956
01:40:19,320 --> 01:40:21,360
Speaker 4: like a great player, like a k club neck making

1957
01:40:21,520 --> 01:40:25,080
Speaker 4: you know, getting worse. Like the market is slow because

1958
01:40:25,120 --> 01:40:28,639
Speaker 4: it banks on the priors. And when I watch CJ.

1959
01:40:28,800 --> 01:40:32,640
Speaker 4: Carr six three two ten athlete, big physical kid, can

1960
01:40:32,720 --> 01:40:35,679
Speaker 4: make the throws, very twitchy with his delivery, I love, honestly,

1961
01:40:35,720 --> 01:40:39,240
Speaker 4: I love everything about him. He's starting to figure out

1962
01:40:39,560 --> 01:40:41,720
Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage battle a little bit more. That's

1963
01:40:41,840 --> 01:40:45,120
Speaker 4: the one thing that it's really hard to get up

1964
01:40:45,160 --> 01:40:47,639
Speaker 4: to speed quickly. You go from a high school kid

1965
01:40:47,720 --> 01:40:49,639
Speaker 4: where you're just you know, you're you're better than everyone.

1966
01:40:49,680 --> 01:40:51,800
Speaker 4: You don't really need to make any changes, make any checks.

1967
01:40:52,000 --> 01:40:54,200
Speaker 4: Then you get to a next level of college football

1968
01:40:54,240 --> 01:40:57,400
Speaker 4: and everyone's better and you have to adjust. And the

1969
01:40:57,479 --> 01:40:59,320
Speaker 4: one thing I like about Mike Denbrock is he is

1970
01:40:59,400 --> 01:41:02,720
Speaker 4: willing to put the ball in Car's hands. Because the

1971
01:41:03,560 --> 01:41:05,719
Speaker 4: scouting report on Notre Dame is we got to stop

1972
01:41:05,760 --> 01:41:07,880
Speaker 4: the run. They got the two best backs in the country,

1973
01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:10,240
Speaker 4: the best back and then Prices right there, probably a

1974
01:41:10,280 --> 01:41:12,880
Speaker 4: starter on most teams. So you get a lot of

1975
01:41:12,920 --> 01:41:15,200
Speaker 4: those a heavy sets because they'd like to run out

1976
01:41:15,200 --> 01:41:16,439
Speaker 4: of heavy sets and be you get a lot of

1977
01:41:16,479 --> 01:41:19,840
Speaker 4: bodies in the box. Well, Mike Denbrock, light bulb. Hey,

1978
01:41:20,280 --> 01:41:22,759
Speaker 4: if they're gonna be eight nine guys in the box,

1979
01:41:22,960 --> 01:41:25,360
Speaker 4: we got to hunt, and he has been very willing

1980
01:41:25,479 --> 01:41:28,080
Speaker 4: to hunt this year with the explosives. The one thing

1981
01:41:28,120 --> 01:41:30,080
Speaker 4: I would look for in this game, there's two ways

1982
01:41:30,160 --> 01:41:33,240
Speaker 4: to take advantage of a team that is bigger, faster,

1983
01:41:33,360 --> 01:41:35,439
Speaker 4: stronger than you. On the outside. Right, you could go

1984
01:41:35,920 --> 01:41:38,360
Speaker 4: twelve personnel two tight ends, and then you could try

1985
01:41:38,400 --> 01:41:40,519
Speaker 4: to get the ball to your tight ends in the

1986
01:41:40,600 --> 01:41:42,240
Speaker 4: flats and in the seams and kind of stretch the

1987
01:41:42,240 --> 01:41:45,800
Speaker 4: field vertically that way, or you could spread everything out

1988
01:41:46,280 --> 01:41:48,560
Speaker 4: and you could try to seek one on ones with

1989
01:41:48,720 --> 01:41:51,760
Speaker 4: the undersized USC corners against these very big, physical Notre

1990
01:41:51,800 --> 01:41:54,160
Speaker 4: Dame receivers. I don't know what the game plan is

1991
01:41:54,320 --> 01:41:57,120
Speaker 4: for Mike Denbrock, but you have two very good options,

1992
01:41:57,200 --> 01:41:59,679
Speaker 4: right You either bunch it all in the middle heavy

1993
01:41:59,680 --> 01:42:02,920
Speaker 4: form and then try to stretch vertically or spread out

1994
01:42:03,240 --> 01:42:05,559
Speaker 4: and seek those one on one matchups. But I really

1995
01:42:05,680 --> 01:42:08,000
Speaker 4: like Notre Dames offense against this USC secondary.

1996
01:42:08,680 --> 01:42:11,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, and listen Notre Dame's defense. It's been weird.

1997
01:42:11,200 --> 01:42:15,240
Speaker 3: First three games, terrible, last three games fantastic. If you

1998
01:42:15,280 --> 01:42:18,120
Speaker 3: look at Notre Dame the last three games defensively, they've

1999
01:42:18,160 --> 01:42:22,080
Speaker 3: allowed twenty seven total points. That's really good. That's against Arkansas,

2000
01:42:22,240 --> 01:42:25,599
Speaker 3: Boise State, and c State. Arkansas is a real offense.

2001
01:42:25,720 --> 01:42:27,920
Speaker 3: So I mean, even a lot of people wouldn't have

2002
01:42:27,960 --> 01:42:31,360
Speaker 3: thought they would have held Arkansas at twenty seven points.

2003
01:42:31,360 --> 01:42:34,960
Speaker 3: They've held their last three opponents to twenty seven points collectively.

2004
01:42:35,960 --> 01:42:38,800
Speaker 5: So that's the question. Is Notre Dames defense fixed? Is

2005
01:42:38,880 --> 01:42:39,519
Speaker 5: it a lot better?

2006
01:42:39,640 --> 01:42:39,760
Speaker 2: Now?

2007
01:42:40,560 --> 01:42:44,639
Speaker 3: Do they regress against the team as offensively talented as USC?

2008
01:42:44,840 --> 01:42:46,839
Speaker 3: So that's a major question. We'll see what the defense

2009
01:42:47,400 --> 01:42:50,960
Speaker 3: comes up with tonight for USC. But yeah, getting back

2010
01:42:51,000 --> 01:42:53,800
Speaker 3: to the rivalry that might not be any more if

2011
01:42:53,840 --> 01:42:55,000
Speaker 3: you look at USC, I.

2012
01:42:55,080 --> 01:42:56,000
Speaker 2: Get it, you know.

2013
01:42:56,240 --> 01:42:57,400
Speaker 5: And to pay off the cheap shot.

2014
01:42:57,960 --> 01:43:00,800
Speaker 3: You have the Big Ten schedule right now, you have

2015
01:43:00,920 --> 01:43:04,559
Speaker 3: non conference scheduling up that could be problematic. Maybe you're

2016
01:43:04,600 --> 01:43:07,000
Speaker 3: in the Big Ten title game, then the college football playoffs.

2017
01:43:07,000 --> 01:43:07,360
Speaker 5: That's a lot.

2018
01:43:07,760 --> 01:43:09,720
Speaker 3: That's a lot, so I can understand how you might

2019
01:43:09,760 --> 01:43:12,640
Speaker 3: want to scale back a little bit, you know, a

2020
01:43:12,720 --> 01:43:15,040
Speaker 3: lot of attrition, you know, you don't want to lose dudes,

2021
01:43:15,080 --> 01:43:17,479
Speaker 3: all that type of stuff. So in all of this,

2022
01:43:18,320 --> 01:43:20,799
Speaker 3: I don't know if you've heard of their new model,

2023
01:43:20,920 --> 01:43:22,800
Speaker 3: their new slogan here, have you heard this?

2024
01:43:23,439 --> 01:43:23,679
Speaker 2: I don't.

2025
01:43:23,680 --> 01:43:27,639
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's live to fight on another

2026
01:43:27,800 --> 01:43:31,160
Speaker 3: day is what we're doing with USC. Maybe not scheduling

2027
01:43:31,240 --> 01:43:33,880
Speaker 3: Notre Dame anymore, and we're just gonna attack it that

2028
01:43:34,000 --> 01:43:36,120
Speaker 3: way is what we're going to do here, and also

2029
01:43:36,320 --> 01:43:39,280
Speaker 3: turning friends into enemies. You know, we've got bo Benson,

2030
01:43:39,479 --> 01:43:45,080
Speaker 3: Who've got Chris Purfett trusted, you know, our working team

2031
01:43:45,160 --> 01:43:48,640
Speaker 3: over here, and they both went to USC, you know,

2032
01:43:48,760 --> 01:43:50,439
Speaker 3: And so I have to have to take complete cheap

2033
01:43:50,479 --> 01:43:53,479
Speaker 3: shots with old school Lou Holtz talking trash about USC.

2034
01:43:53,600 --> 01:43:55,040
Speaker 5: How about this is a good one right here, like

2035
01:43:55,080 --> 01:43:55,920
Speaker 5: this like most of.

2036
01:43:55,920 --> 01:44:00,479
Speaker 8: The football players shows USC over UC LA LA the future.

2037
01:44:00,560 --> 01:44:03,720
Speaker 5: That's a good one right there. That's a solid.

2038
01:44:05,600 --> 01:44:13,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. I'll say this about Notre Dame's improved defense. I

2039
01:44:13,479 --> 01:44:16,000
Speaker 2: think over the past two games against Poise State and

2040
01:44:16,120 --> 01:44:21,800
Speaker 2: NC State only allowing really one explosive run that I

2041
01:44:21,920 --> 01:44:25,800
Speaker 2: can remember, that's been better. Their defensive line has been

2042
01:44:26,400 --> 01:44:30,800
Speaker 2: a problem for them all season long. I will say this,

2043
01:44:30,960 --> 01:44:34,439
Speaker 2: though They've had a tough schedule this season, especially when

2044
01:44:34,479 --> 01:44:38,639
Speaker 2: you look at opposing offenses, it hasn't been an easy

2045
01:44:38,760 --> 01:44:41,479
Speaker 2: govid for Notre Dame defensively when you think about the

2046
01:44:41,640 --> 01:44:44,519
Speaker 2: sort of offenses they've had to face throughout the season.

2047
01:44:44,960 --> 01:44:48,120
Speaker 2: Here's the negatives for USC. Though they're hurt and not

2048
01:44:48,320 --> 01:44:53,639
Speaker 2: having Jordan in the backfield, they have some offensive line

2049
01:44:53,680 --> 01:44:57,839
Speaker 2: issues as well. Uh their their big left tackle Page

2050
01:44:57,880 --> 01:45:01,280
Speaker 2: he didn't play against Michigan. They're going to substitute in

2051
01:45:01,920 --> 01:45:05,479
Speaker 2: another offensive lineman if he still can't go, We'll see

2052
01:45:05,479 --> 01:45:08,960
Speaker 2: how that goes. Look, the great news for Notre Dame

2053
01:45:10,120 --> 01:45:15,719
Speaker 2: is that you see USC's blue print runs revolve around

2054
01:45:16,160 --> 01:45:20,160
Speaker 2: zone read and power, and it's not the man blocking

2055
01:45:20,280 --> 01:45:25,280
Speaker 2: schemes that the fighting Irish defense has really struggled with.

2056
01:45:26,160 --> 01:45:29,000
Speaker 2: Like when teams line up and they play smash mouth

2057
01:45:29,080 --> 01:45:32,639
Speaker 2: football against Notre Dame, where they say, hey, we're gonna

2058
01:45:32,640 --> 01:45:35,840
Speaker 2: double team this defensive tackle into the lap of that

2059
01:45:36,080 --> 01:45:39,760
Speaker 2: linebacker and we're gonna run straight downhill at you. That's

2060
01:45:39,840 --> 01:45:42,640
Speaker 2: where Notre Dame struggles the most defensively because their d

2061
01:45:42,840 --> 01:45:46,200
Speaker 2: line is an issue, but against the zone where their

2062
01:45:46,280 --> 01:45:49,479
Speaker 2: linebackers can play a little bit more downhill, when their

2063
01:45:49,600 --> 01:45:53,120
Speaker 2: linebacker their speed of their defense can play against more

2064
01:45:53,200 --> 01:45:57,720
Speaker 2: mobile quarterbacks. Usually that spells disaster for certain defenses. Notre

2065
01:45:57,800 --> 01:46:01,439
Speaker 2: Dame's more comfortable against that style and that sets up

2066
01:46:01,520 --> 01:46:05,600
Speaker 2: well for for them against USC. So I don't know,

2067
01:46:05,880 --> 01:46:08,600
Speaker 2: I'm leaning Notre Dame in this one. I think I

2068
01:46:08,640 --> 01:46:12,720
Speaker 2: think Notre Dame is probably the winning side of this one,

2069
01:46:13,320 --> 01:46:17,840
Speaker 2: and for good reason. I they they're But but when

2070
01:46:17,880 --> 01:46:22,000
Speaker 2: I look at the game overall, can USC keep it close.

2071
01:46:22,920 --> 01:46:24,880
Speaker 2: You know what, am I willing to take Notre Dame

2072
01:46:24,920 --> 01:46:27,599
Speaker 2: to cover nine? I don't know if I can get there.

2073
01:46:29,320 --> 01:46:31,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's taken up even more. We're up to

2074
01:46:31,400 --> 01:46:34,080
Speaker 5: ten now. I was like an auctioneer, you know, can

2075
01:46:34,160 --> 01:46:34,479
Speaker 5: you get me?

2076
01:46:34,880 --> 01:46:35,080
Speaker 6: Get me?

2077
01:46:36,120 --> 01:46:37,760
Speaker 5: It's gonna be. It might be even more than that

2078
01:46:37,880 --> 01:46:38,479
Speaker 5: by kickoff.

2079
01:46:38,920 --> 01:46:39,320
Speaker 2: It could be.

2080
01:46:40,600 --> 01:46:42,599
Speaker 4: I think the team total is intriguing too at thirty

2081
01:46:42,640 --> 01:46:44,760
Speaker 4: five and a half. Like I really again, I think

2082
01:46:44,800 --> 01:46:46,519
Speaker 4: the matchup that I really like in this game the

2083
01:46:46,600 --> 01:46:50,639
Speaker 4: most is the Notre Dame receivers, most notably are Fields

2084
01:46:50,680 --> 01:46:54,759
Speaker 4: and Rareed in the tight end against that undersized USC secondary.

2085
01:46:54,880 --> 01:46:57,040
Speaker 4: I just I don't want. I went back and I

2086
01:46:57,120 --> 01:47:01,200
Speaker 4: watched the Illinois game this week and they were just

2087
01:47:01,280 --> 01:47:04,640
Speaker 4: getting dashed by Illinois. And no knock on Altmeyer, but

2088
01:47:04,800 --> 01:47:07,160
Speaker 4: I just I think I think Notre Dame is better,

2089
01:47:08,200 --> 01:47:10,280
Speaker 4: and I think their scheme is a little bit more aggressive,

2090
01:47:10,320 --> 01:47:13,160
Speaker 4: and I think that really Fields is an absolute rock

2091
01:47:13,200 --> 01:47:14,960
Speaker 4: star and he's going to be a really tough cover

2092
01:47:15,080 --> 01:47:18,800
Speaker 4: in this game. Also, Miami's lost last night muddies the

2093
01:47:18,840 --> 01:47:22,719
Speaker 4: waters in the college football playoff. Now there's a chance

2094
01:47:22,840 --> 01:47:26,719
Speaker 4: we have a three bid acc now there is a chance.

2095
01:47:27,600 --> 01:47:29,800
Speaker 4: I don't think it's gonna happen, but there's a chance.

2096
01:47:30,439 --> 01:47:32,880
Speaker 4: And that makes Notre Dame at ten and two a

2097
01:47:33,000 --> 01:47:36,080
Speaker 4: very tricky conversation. You might be grading Notre Dame at

2098
01:47:36,080 --> 01:47:38,080
Speaker 4: ten and two against the ten and two ACC team.

2099
01:47:38,320 --> 01:47:40,200
Speaker 4: So you need this game bad and you need to

2100
01:47:40,240 --> 01:47:44,599
Speaker 4: look good because the College of Ball playoff picture is narrowing,

2101
01:47:45,320 --> 01:47:48,880
Speaker 4: and Miami's lost last night makes the ACC waters very muddy.

2102
01:47:49,840 --> 01:47:50,960
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll go.

2103
01:47:51,120 --> 01:47:54,479
Speaker 5: No huddle here. I want your track shoes on. I

2104
01:47:54,680 --> 01:47:56,519
Speaker 5: want speed, I want lightning.

2105
01:47:57,000 --> 01:47:58,360
Speaker 2: Do you all right? Quick?

2106
01:47:58,479 --> 01:48:00,920
Speaker 3: Well, quick preview? We move it all right? We got

2107
01:48:01,000 --> 01:48:05,400
Speaker 3: Oklahoma South Carolina. I know you've got this one circled

2108
01:48:05,439 --> 01:48:08,360
Speaker 3: there Rich where John Mattire? What kind of performance is

2109
01:48:08,400 --> 01:48:11,320
Speaker 3: going to see from John Mattire really struggled against Texas

2110
01:48:11,520 --> 01:48:14,000
Speaker 3: being rushed back from that hand injury. What do you

2111
01:48:14,040 --> 01:48:16,000
Speaker 3: see in Oklahoma South Carolina?

2112
01:48:17,000 --> 01:48:20,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I don't love Oklahoma in this matchup.

2113
01:48:21,320 --> 01:48:24,240
Speaker 2: I don't love South Carolina in this matchup, to be

2114
01:48:24,360 --> 01:48:28,240
Speaker 2: perfectly honest with you, So I think where I'm at

2115
01:48:28,600 --> 01:48:34,240
Speaker 2: here is if you force my hand. Actually, let's put

2116
01:48:34,240 --> 01:48:37,280
Speaker 2: it this way. This is South Carolina's game to lose.

2117
01:48:37,680 --> 01:48:40,639
Speaker 2: If I'm being honest, I have them on the money

2118
01:48:40,680 --> 01:48:43,920
Speaker 2: line in the parlay platter. I like them on the

2119
01:48:44,160 --> 01:48:46,920
Speaker 2: spread as well, for I mean for the same reasons

2120
01:48:46,960 --> 01:48:48,960
Speaker 2: I like him on the money line. I'm not in

2121
01:48:49,200 --> 01:48:54,320
Speaker 2: love with this pick, but Leonora sellers he's got enough

2122
01:48:54,439 --> 01:48:56,960
Speaker 2: to get them through this game. And Matier, I don't

2123
01:48:57,000 --> 01:48:59,519
Speaker 2: believe that he's healthy. I don't believe a single thing.

2124
01:48:59,600 --> 01:49:02,880
Speaker 2: We're here out of Boomer Sooner Nation. I think he

2125
01:49:03,240 --> 01:49:06,800
Speaker 2: was really limited during that game against Texas. I think

2126
01:49:07,120 --> 01:49:10,920
Speaker 2: he is. They are trying their hardest to get him

2127
01:49:11,040 --> 01:49:13,320
Speaker 2: back into the game because they really don't trust their

2128
01:49:13,360 --> 01:49:16,360
Speaker 2: backup quarterback and that's a tough spot to be him.

2129
01:49:16,720 --> 01:49:22,280
Speaker 2: So look, South Carolina's hosting them. I think that this

2130
01:49:22,479 --> 01:49:26,559
Speaker 2: game will skew toward the under, and I like South

2131
01:49:26,640 --> 01:49:30,240
Speaker 2: Carolina on the spread. And if you, if you have to,

2132
01:49:30,400 --> 01:49:32,439
Speaker 2: if you, if you fall him in love with them,

2133
01:49:32,600 --> 01:49:34,639
Speaker 2: I would take them on the money line as well.

2134
01:49:35,800 --> 01:49:40,400
Speaker 4: Dead nut undergame. Oklahoma's defense is great. South Carolina's whole

2135
01:49:40,439 --> 01:49:43,400
Speaker 4: line is not great, and matears banged up.

2136
01:49:43,680 --> 01:49:48,720
Speaker 3: Dead nut undergame all right, Utah BYU Utah favored by

2137
01:49:48,800 --> 01:49:52,160
Speaker 3: three and a half on the road bear Backmeyer the

2138
01:49:52,240 --> 01:49:56,559
Speaker 3: true freshman. That's kind of crazy, right, The undefeated BYU

2139
01:49:56,720 --> 01:49:59,599
Speaker 3: team is a three and a half point underdog against

2140
01:49:59,600 --> 01:50:03,280
Speaker 3: the Utah team that is not exactly, you know, offensively

2141
01:50:03,520 --> 01:50:05,680
Speaker 3: firing on all cylinders, even though they looked a lot

2142
01:50:05,760 --> 01:50:07,479
Speaker 3: better last week against Arizona State.

2143
01:50:07,520 --> 01:50:09,200
Speaker 5: What do you think in the Holy War here?

2144
01:50:09,320 --> 01:50:16,000
Speaker 2: Rich? Okay? Yeah, look through six games, we really haven't

2145
01:50:16,200 --> 01:50:21,639
Speaker 2: seen a great formula against BYU. Yet we've also seen

2146
01:50:21,800 --> 01:50:26,240
Speaker 2: Utah fall to Texas Tech. I don't know. I like

2147
01:50:26,560 --> 01:50:29,240
Speaker 2: I like the Cougars in this one. I think I

2148
01:50:29,320 --> 01:50:32,040
Speaker 2: think I would back the Cougars on the spread. So

2149
01:50:32,240 --> 01:50:35,120
Speaker 2: if if, if, if I'm getting three and a half,

2150
01:50:35,200 --> 01:50:35,920
Speaker 2: I'm taking them.

2151
01:50:37,000 --> 01:50:41,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think this is another undergame. I guess I'll

2152
01:50:41,280 --> 01:50:44,360
Speaker 4: take the three and a half two. But I think

2153
01:50:44,520 --> 01:50:46,519
Speaker 4: Utah might be a little better than we think. But

2154
01:50:46,640 --> 01:50:49,559
Speaker 4: these games have been funky. I think they're the second

2155
01:50:49,600 --> 01:50:51,400
Speaker 4: best team in the Big twelve actually, But the again,

2156
01:50:51,479 --> 01:50:53,880
Speaker 4: these games have been a little funky. And BYU just

2157
01:50:54,600 --> 01:50:57,439
Speaker 4: ripped my heart out last week against Arizona. So I

2158
01:50:57,600 --> 01:50:59,960
Speaker 4: was on Area on Arizona and I thought I was

2159
01:51:00,120 --> 01:51:01,960
Speaker 4: covering that one, and then they went overtime and then

2160
01:51:02,000 --> 01:51:05,080
Speaker 4: you weren't covering anymore. So maybe I'm a little biased,

2161
01:51:05,080 --> 01:51:06,920
Speaker 4: but I think Utah is the better team.

2162
01:51:07,640 --> 01:51:09,080
Speaker 5: Yeah that was gross, wasn't I?

2163
01:51:09,320 --> 01:51:10,000
Speaker 2: It was really gross.

2164
01:51:10,200 --> 01:51:13,760
Speaker 3: No team has screwed me more this year than BYU. Yes,

2165
01:51:14,600 --> 01:51:16,840
Speaker 3: can I tell you just one, like a real quick

2166
01:51:16,880 --> 01:51:19,360
Speaker 3: story here? This is how bad BYU has got me

2167
01:51:19,479 --> 01:51:21,559
Speaker 3: this year. It wasn't just last week where I went

2168
01:51:21,640 --> 01:51:23,960
Speaker 3: Arizona and I had three in the hook I went

2169
01:51:24,080 --> 01:51:27,120
Speaker 3: in game. It wasn't just plus two and a half.

2170
01:51:27,200 --> 01:51:30,200
Speaker 3: I was plus three and a half and we didn't one.

2171
01:51:30,600 --> 01:51:34,479
Speaker 3: That was just gross, but gross. They hosted Stanford earlier

2172
01:51:34,560 --> 01:51:37,200
Speaker 3: this year. This is a funny, this is a good,

2173
01:51:37,360 --> 01:51:40,479
Speaker 3: like bad beat story. But they're hosting Stanford and I'm like,

2174
01:51:40,640 --> 01:51:44,360
Speaker 3: Stanford is decrepitly bad. You know, I'm gonna lay six

2175
01:51:44,400 --> 01:51:47,000
Speaker 3: and a half in the first quarter with BYU. So

2176
01:51:47,120 --> 01:51:51,240
Speaker 3: BYU scores a touchdown and BYU says, you know what,

2177
01:51:51,439 --> 01:51:55,599
Speaker 3: instead of kicking the extra point, which Brian really needs,

2178
01:51:56,080 --> 01:52:00,599
Speaker 3: let's go like Oregon swinging gate. They try to run

2179
01:52:00,680 --> 01:52:03,920
Speaker 3: a two point play and they got stuffed and they

2180
01:52:04,479 --> 01:52:07,719
Speaker 3: then after that they got an interception. They're a little

2181
01:52:07,720 --> 01:52:09,479
Speaker 3: bit more than two minutes to go, They're almost in

2182
01:52:09,560 --> 01:52:12,120
Speaker 3: the red zone. Got an interception. I'm like, all right,

2183
01:52:12,160 --> 01:52:12,760
Speaker 3: we got life.

2184
01:52:12,960 --> 01:52:13,960
Speaker 5: Maybe we get this thing.

2185
01:52:14,880 --> 01:52:18,479
Speaker 3: Three straight plays where it was like a running play

2186
01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:23,320
Speaker 3: and maybe two short completions, I'm like, just one incomplete pass.

2187
01:52:23,360 --> 01:52:23,800
Speaker 5: We're good.

2188
01:52:24,720 --> 01:52:27,599
Speaker 3: They so the clock keeps running, running running. They could

2189
01:52:27,640 --> 01:52:29,720
Speaker 3: have kicked the field goal. There was enough time, but

2190
01:52:29,800 --> 01:52:32,320
Speaker 3: they're like, why kick it in the first quarter, Let's

2191
01:52:32,400 --> 01:52:33,880
Speaker 3: just wait until the second quarter.

2192
01:52:34,560 --> 01:52:35,200
Speaker 5: That's what thing is.

2193
01:52:35,320 --> 01:52:38,479
Speaker 3: I lost my first quarter bet after those bumps, didn't

2194
01:52:38,560 --> 01:52:42,000
Speaker 3: kick an extra point and then elected not to kick

2195
01:52:42,040 --> 01:52:44,280
Speaker 3: the field goal until the second half. So that's how

2196
01:52:44,320 --> 01:52:47,160
Speaker 3: it's gone with me in BYU this year. There you go, Yeah,

2197
01:52:47,200 --> 01:52:51,759
Speaker 3: it's been rough one last one Missouri against Auburn. Auburn

2198
01:52:51,800 --> 01:52:56,400
Speaker 3: has had some rough rough outcomes. You know if you've

2199
01:52:56,439 --> 01:52:59,479
Speaker 3: been backing them to the safety at the end of

2200
01:52:59,520 --> 01:53:03,960
Speaker 3: the game at Oklahoma last week against Georgia was disgusting

2201
01:53:04,160 --> 01:53:07,040
Speaker 3: if you took the points with Auburn. What do you

2202
01:53:07,080 --> 01:53:10,840
Speaker 3: think about miszoo first road game, their first road game

2203
01:53:10,880 --> 01:53:14,760
Speaker 3: of the season at Auburn, tough place to play, night game.

2204
01:53:14,920 --> 01:53:15,720
Speaker 5: What do you see in this one?

2205
01:53:15,840 --> 01:53:20,000
Speaker 2: Rich yeah, I think Auburn's much better than people think,

2206
01:53:20,080 --> 01:53:22,960
Speaker 2: and I think Miszoo is not as good as people think,

2207
01:53:23,280 --> 01:53:26,040
Speaker 2: and so I think this game sets up well for Auburn.

2208
01:53:26,600 --> 01:53:30,160
Speaker 2: They're playing at home again, Miszoo's first road trip. Their

2209
01:53:30,240 --> 01:53:36,280
Speaker 2: defense has been sharp, Missouri's offensive production has been shakier

2210
01:53:36,439 --> 01:53:39,520
Speaker 2: than when they started the season with some cupcake matchups.

2211
01:53:39,880 --> 01:53:42,760
Speaker 2: So when you dig into their stats, you say to yourself, like,

2212
01:53:42,840 --> 01:53:47,200
Speaker 2: whoa Missoo's extremely you know, explosive beneficient, And then when

2213
01:53:47,200 --> 01:53:50,160
Speaker 2: you look at some of the recent history, you say,

2214
01:53:50,320 --> 01:53:53,920
Speaker 2: now there are some problems here. I think that this

2215
01:53:54,800 --> 01:53:59,000
Speaker 2: game sets up for an Auburn victory. I really do.

2216
01:53:59,320 --> 01:54:00,639
Speaker 2: I like Auburn in this one.

2217
01:54:01,280 --> 01:54:03,759
Speaker 4: I would agree, and I like Brian's handicap earlier about

2218
01:54:04,280 --> 01:54:08,120
Speaker 4: Missouri's run game against his Auburn defense. It's the strength

2219
01:54:08,160 --> 01:54:10,320
Speaker 4: of the team up front. Here's their d line. They

2220
01:54:10,400 --> 01:54:13,920
Speaker 4: have Beef Keiroan Crawford six four three twenty five. That's

2221
01:54:13,960 --> 01:54:17,240
Speaker 4: your defensive end. That's like a nose tackle size. Their

2222
01:54:17,320 --> 01:54:20,280
Speaker 4: defensive tackle Malik blocked in sixty three three hundred nose

2223
01:54:20,360 --> 01:54:23,760
Speaker 4: tackle Bobby Jamison Travis six four three thirty and in

2224
01:54:23,840 --> 01:54:26,200
Speaker 4: their edge rusher Kendrick Falko, I think is their best

2225
01:54:26,240 --> 01:54:30,080
Speaker 4: overall defensive player, sixty six two fifty five, long, lanky,

2226
01:54:30,200 --> 01:54:31,760
Speaker 4: can get off the edge like. This is a really

2227
01:54:31,800 --> 01:54:34,000
Speaker 4: good Auburn defense. Now I don't trust Jackson Arnolds far

2228
01:54:34,040 --> 01:54:36,640
Speaker 4: as I can throw them, but this one feels kind

2229
01:54:36,640 --> 01:54:37,480
Speaker 4: of rock fighty too.

2230
01:54:37,680 --> 01:54:38,520
Speaker 2: Total forty four.

2231
01:54:38,600 --> 01:54:39,640
Speaker 4: I would lean Auburn in the.

2232
01:54:39,680 --> 01:54:43,240
Speaker 5: Under There you go, all right, very nice, well done, chaps.

2257
01:55:56,000 --> 01:55:59,360
Speaker 3: Zada Plaxico, Burist. They have got you covered in less

2258

Speaker 3: than ten minutes from now. Keep it locked right here

2259
01:56:01,200 --> 01:56:04,280
Speaker 3: on Fox Sports Radio. Okay, we got some picks to make.

2260
01:56:04,400 --> 01:56:11,920
Speaker 5: Let's do it rapid fire, all right, Jared Smith, we

2261
01:56:12,000 --> 01:56:12,480
Speaker 5: start with you.

2262
01:56:13,160 --> 01:56:13,520
Speaker 2: All right.

2263
01:56:13,560 --> 01:56:16,240
Speaker 4: Let's go Indiana minus twenty seven and a half against

2264
01:56:16,280 --> 01:56:19,280
Speaker 4: Michigan State. Kurtz Signetti leveraged the James Franklin firing and

2265
01:56:19,400 --> 01:56:22,240
Speaker 4: got himself a fat raise. Good for you, pal, that's

2266
01:56:22,280 --> 01:56:23,880
Speaker 4: a boss move. I would have done the same thing.

2267
01:56:24,600 --> 01:56:26,400
Speaker 4: Now it's time to put your money where your mouth is.

2268
01:56:26,480 --> 01:56:29,160
Speaker 4: He loves running up the score against bad teams. Michigan

2269
01:56:29,240 --> 01:56:32,000
Speaker 4: State fits the profile. They just lost to UCLA by

2270
01:56:32,040 --> 01:56:35,600
Speaker 4: twenty five at home. Wolf, I think Indiana can cover

2271
01:56:35,680 --> 01:56:39,000
Speaker 4: twenty seven and a half at home. Kentucky plus twelve

2272
01:56:39,000 --> 01:56:41,440
Speaker 4: and a half versut Texas. Did you know fun fact?

2273
01:56:42,040 --> 01:56:45,960
Speaker 4: Texas zero to four against the spread the last four years.

2274
01:56:46,240 --> 01:56:49,960
Speaker 4: The week after red River last year they got absolutely

2275
01:56:50,280 --> 01:56:53,080
Speaker 4: deep pants by Georgia. Their worst loss of the year

2276
01:56:53,160 --> 01:56:55,200
Speaker 4: actually was worse than the margin that they had in

2277
01:56:55,280 --> 01:56:58,480
Speaker 4: the playoff against Ohio State. So Kentucky's got some big

2278
01:56:58,560 --> 01:57:00,120
Speaker 4: dudes on both sides of the ball. They're not to

2279
01:57:00,160 --> 01:57:00,840
Speaker 4: be a push over here.

2280
01:57:00,880 --> 01:57:01,480
Speaker 2: I think Texas.

2281
01:57:01,560 --> 01:57:03,160
Speaker 4: Listen, maybe they win, but twelve and a half's a

2282
01:57:03,200 --> 01:57:05,520
Speaker 4: lot of points. I'll take Kentucky in the post red

2283
01:57:05,640 --> 01:57:08,120
Speaker 4: River hangover plus twelve and a half against the Long Horns,

2284
01:57:08,160 --> 01:57:10,040
Speaker 4: and finally Clemson minus three and a half against SMU.

2285
01:57:10,400 --> 01:57:12,920
Speaker 4: Big move on this spread with Kate Clubnick announced out

2286
01:57:13,040 --> 01:57:17,000
Speaker 4: Chris Vezina. He is the starter this week, former four

2287
01:57:17,080 --> 01:57:20,080
Speaker 4: star big kid six four two ten limited playing time,

2288
01:57:20,160 --> 01:57:22,520
Speaker 4: but I don't think he's worth I don't think Clubnick's

2289
01:57:22,560 --> 01:57:25,040
Speaker 4: worth five points over anybody right now. So I think

2290
01:57:25,200 --> 01:57:29,200
Speaker 4: Clemson ears perked up after the Miami loss, they'd look

2291
01:57:29,280 --> 01:57:30,600
Speaker 4: good and back to back weeks.

2292
01:57:30,480 --> 01:57:31,800
Speaker 2: SMU's bad in the secondary.

2293
01:57:31,800 --> 01:57:34,520
Speaker 4: Their best two games this year TCU and Baylor, the

2294
01:57:34,560 --> 01:57:36,840
Speaker 4: two best opponents they face, they allow to combine eighty

2295
01:57:36,880 --> 01:57:38,480
Speaker 4: three points. So I think Clemson at home gets a

2296
01:57:38,480 --> 01:57:40,160
Speaker 4: big win minus three and a half against SMUN.

2297
01:57:41,040 --> 01:57:42,960
Speaker 2: All right, I'll give you the one I like the

2298
01:57:43,120 --> 01:57:47,200
Speaker 2: least first, and that's Oklahoma visiting South Carolina. I got

2299
01:57:47,320 --> 01:57:50,000
Speaker 2: the game Cocks getting four and a half. I'm taking

2300
01:57:50,080 --> 01:57:52,680
Speaker 2: the points. And here's the reason why. This is a

2301
01:57:52,760 --> 01:57:56,160
Speaker 2: battle of which quarterback do I trust the least, And

2302
01:57:56,320 --> 01:57:58,640
Speaker 2: right now that's John Mattia. I think he's too hurt

2303
01:57:58,760 --> 01:58:03,320
Speaker 2: to really booye this Oklahoma offense on the road. Moving

2304
01:58:03,400 --> 01:58:05,920
Speaker 2: on to kind of a short thing, or at least

2305
01:58:06,000 --> 01:58:09,200
Speaker 2: it has been the entire season. I'm not gonna overthink it.

2306
01:58:09,360 --> 01:58:12,800
Speaker 2: Ohio State has been great. They've been perfect against the spread,

2307
01:58:12,800 --> 01:58:16,320
Speaker 2: their favorite twenty five and a half against Wisco. Wisconsin's

2308
01:58:16,360 --> 01:58:19,560
Speaker 2: been dreadful. You heard Seamus say it earlier. I don't

2309
01:58:19,600 --> 01:58:22,400
Speaker 2: know how Luke Fickle still has a job. I'm taking

2310
01:58:22,520 --> 01:58:26,280
Speaker 2: Buckeyes to cover their giant spread against Wisconsin on the road,

2311
01:58:26,680 --> 01:58:30,000
Speaker 2: and then Texas A and M at Arkansas. The number

2312
01:58:30,360 --> 01:58:33,080
Speaker 2: to get over is fifty eight and a half, and

2313
01:58:33,240 --> 01:58:36,840
Speaker 2: I think they sail past the number. Arkansas is an

2314
01:58:36,880 --> 01:58:41,320
Speaker 2: explosive quarterback, Texas A and M struggles against explosive offenses.

2315
01:58:41,600 --> 01:58:45,160
Speaker 2: Texas A and M has a methodical offense. Arkansas can't

2316
01:58:45,240 --> 01:58:48,080
Speaker 2: stop them. Give me the over on that fifty eight

2317
01:58:48,080 --> 01:58:48,840
Speaker 2: and a half total.

2318
01:58:49,640 --> 01:58:52,080
Speaker 3: Okay, I got a couple of running back unders for you.

2319
01:58:52,280 --> 01:58:55,480
Speaker 3: Give me Releak Brown, who I love Arizona State running back,

2320
01:58:55,960 --> 01:58:59,400
Speaker 3: but against the best rush defense in college football. Texas

2321
01:58:59,440 --> 01:59:02,040
Speaker 3: Tech gives up an average of sixty two point five

2322
01:59:02,280 --> 01:59:05,480
Speaker 3: rushing yards per game. I've got Releak under seventy eight

2323
01:59:05,480 --> 01:59:07,440
Speaker 3: and a half rushing yards against Texas Tech.

2324
01:59:07,480 --> 01:59:07,760
Speaker 2: Tonight.

2325
01:59:08,360 --> 01:59:11,400
Speaker 3: Give me a mod Hardy who I also love, Missouri

2326
01:59:11,520 --> 01:59:13,600
Speaker 3: running back. Give me under seventy nine and a half

2327
01:59:13,760 --> 01:59:18,200
Speaker 3: rushing yards against Auburn shared detailed the beef. The beef

2328
01:59:18,320 --> 01:59:20,720
Speaker 3: up front with war Eagle over there. It's gonna be

2329
01:59:20,760 --> 01:59:23,840
Speaker 3: hard to run on that defense, and I'm gonna double down.

2330
01:59:24,120 --> 01:59:26,680
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with war Eagle plus two point and

2331
01:59:26,720 --> 01:59:30,800
Speaker 3: a half against Missouri. Miszoo's first road game, tough to

2332
01:59:30,840 --> 01:59:33,920
Speaker 3: crank it up after an emotional Alabama loss last week.

2333
01:59:34,440 --> 01:59:37,960
Speaker 3: What could go wrong backing Auburn. They've been so legendary

2334
01:59:38,040 --> 01:59:40,480
Speaker 3: this year. I think this is the spot. I think

2335
01:59:40,480 --> 01:59:42,720
Speaker 3: it's the spot to back Auburn, So I will do that.

2336
01:59:42,920 --> 01:59:46,920
Speaker 3: Twofold all right, enjoy the action, Go Irish, We'll see

2337
01:59:46,960 --> 01:59:47,000
Speaker 3: you
