1
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal.

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 2: Hell that for me. I'm a man, I'm for I've

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,639
Speaker 2: heard so many players say, well, I want to be happy.

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: You want to be happy for a day?

5
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 2: Edo State?

6
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: Is that?

7
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 2: Whoo whoom?

8
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: And then and tie, Dan Rubinstein, we are gathered here today.

9
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: Are we getting married? To react to week six? To

10
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: react to week six? I can't believe we have to

11
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: react to week six?

12
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: Well, look, Ty, we're on equal footing here. Your favorite

13
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 2: team and my favorite team won the exact same number

14
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 2: of games today, only my team had a bye week

15
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 2: in your team.

16
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: I swimmed out of my Notre Dame T shirt before

17
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: we get record today, and I swapped over to my

18
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: Penn State roar Lyon's raw T shirt because it's nice

19
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: to have that team flexibility that you can just swap

20
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: interchange them if you have to. We'll get into that

21
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: much much.

22
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: Must be nice for you. Huh feels pretty good?

23
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: Feels pretty good? Yeah, thank you for stopping on by,

24
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: Thank you for downloading, for listening, for supporting the solid verbal.

25
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: We've got a bunch to get through. We're gonna go through,

26
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: of course, the big games. We're gonna go through our

27
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: top fives for the week that was. We left some

28
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: room at the end for verbal or questions, of course,

29
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: for dood alerts, And because it is a particularly spicy week,

30
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna hold off ontoing the reverbs until Monday.

31
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: Let them all trickle in the late night Arizona sad

32
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 2: boys of the USC ladies who are just crushed that

33
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 2: the Trojans were unable to get it done because that

34
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 2: game is happening as we're recording right now.

35
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: That is correct. That is correct. So without further ado, Dan,

36
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: why don't we just jump into our headliners, shall we?

37
00:01:53,160 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: That's the big one I think was the Red River Ribbery.

38
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that was huge. It was enormous. It was

39
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 2: a great game, and I was at different times shocked

40
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 2: in different times thinking to myself, Yeah, that's about right,

41
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 2: it's about right. And I don't know where you want

42
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 2: to start with this, but this was the game with

43
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: the biggest implications. I think both teams were in the

44
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 2: top twelve something like that. So this one was the biggie.

45
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: Here's what it comes down to. It comes down to belief,

46
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: and it came down to belief because we knew Texas

47
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 2: had been tested by Alabama on the Road. Whatever your

48
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 2: opinion of Alabama, that's the win of the year essentially

49
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 2: thus far, just because of the talent on hand, just

50
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 2: because of the coaching staff on hand. We did not

51
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 2: know if we should believe in Oklahoma because of their schedule.

52
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 2: So to pick Oklahoma is to say, I'm a Dylan

53
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: Gabriel believer. I'm a believer in year two of Brent Venables.

54
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: I'm a believer in this recruiting guys coming in like

55
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 2: what Peyton Bowen the playmaker turns out. Believing in Peyton

56
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 2: Bowen would have been a really good decision to make

57
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 2: heading into this game and for everything that would have

58
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 2: been difficult to believe in with Oklahoma, considering how this

59
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: game worked out last year without Dylan Gabriel, considering how

60
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 2: the defense looked at various times last year. If you

61
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 2: were a believer in Oklahoma, and you were not an

62
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: Oklahoma fan at any point, you feel something deep in

63
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: your gut, in your loins that I don't think a

64
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 2: lot of people felt, given where Texas has been early

65
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: on this year. So I ask you, Ty, what stood

66
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: out to you in this game when you think about

67
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: the rhythms of this game.

68
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: Well, I mean I was, I think, particularly impressed by

69
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: Oklahoma's defense. Yeah, Oklahoma's defense, you know, was not exactly

70
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: the eighty five bears out there. It was not what

71
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: you would consider a shut down defense. However, as you

72
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: and I spoke on the phone while I was at

73
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: the supermarket earlier picking up some alcoholic beverage, is that

74
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: I might had to have broken open wow, wrong tensing whatever,

75
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: in the event of a Notre Dame Louisville emergency. Oklahoma's

76
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: defense performed pretty well. Twenty three offensive points surrendered to

77
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: a pretty good Texas offense.

78
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 2: I would say, at times really good this season, given

79
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 2: the weaponry available, given where the line has been, given

80
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 2: the growth of Quinn yours. I think that's absolutely right,

81
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 2: given the context of where this Texas offense has grown

82
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 2: into seemingly really great performance from Oklahoma's defense.

83
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: I mean, twenty three offensive points allowed. Texas's first score

84
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: was a block kick touchdown punt. Yeah, Texas still had

85
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: over five hundred yards. But bear in mind, this is

86
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: a forty nine to nil loss last year for the

87
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: Oklahoma Sooners, and in that game and really all throughout

88
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: the course of the year, whether on the field or

89
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 1: off the field, through the media. The Oklahoma defense was

90
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: a punching bag. Ted Ruf, especially on this show, was

91
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: a punching bag. So the question now of whether or

92
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: not this defense has gotten better, I think has been resolved.

93
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: I feel like we answered that in large part before

94
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: this week. But now, given what we saw holding down

95
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: a good Texas offense in the manner that they did,

96
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: you're only going to hold him down to some extent.

97
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 1: I think that was pretty damn impressive. So for me,

98
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: that was sort of you want to talk about rhythms,

99
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: you want to talk about takeaways, you want to talk

100
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 1: about the main thing that you think of when you

101
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: go back through and rewatch this game. It's the Oklahoma

102
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: defense and how they performed. We could talk a little

103
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: bit maybe about future ramifications and what this means. I

104
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: think in context. The other thing that I would throw

105
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: out there, Holy hell, was Dylan Gabriel good in this game?

106
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: Yeah? He would drive me nuts if he were my quarterback.

107
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 2: I said that on the preview show, just because there

108
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 2: is a casual element to his game, right, He's sort

109
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 2: of upright because he can't really go much lower and

110
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 2: see over the line. He doesn't throw a hard pass

111
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 2: he's not making throws that are bullets over the middle.

112
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 2: He plays within himself and he's just a gamer, especially

113
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 2: given the injury history. Absolute gamer. What did you think

114
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 2: of the beginning of the game, because that was the

115
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 2: nutty thing, right with the turnovers. Two pretty early picks

116
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 2: for Quinn Yewers. But he bounces back, well, he gets

117
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 2: you know, he fumbles the ball when he takes a

118
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 2: huge hit from Peyton Bowen, the freshman safety for Oklahoma

119
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 2: in the second half. But there's a lot of back

120
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 2: and forth. You mentioned the punt block touchdown that Texas

121
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 2: just I think was a corner for Texas fell on

122
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 2: in the end zone for seven. But look, it's a

123
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 2: fascinating watch because both of these teams sort of stayed

124
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 2: locked in and there were I think it was Fowler

125
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 2: and Herbstreet on the call made mention of a few

126
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 2: times where was like they're hitting hard, right, this is

127
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 2: like there's an extra little bit of energy on the

128
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 2: field in the Cotton Bowl. And so for Oklahoma, Danny

129
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 2: Stutsman at linebacker especially making plays all over the field,

130
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 2: like they just didn't back down. They found themselves in

131
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 2: good places. They harass Quinn Yewers often. And if you

132
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 2: even look at the big plays that Texas was able

133
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 2: to generate, whether it was through the air, Jonathan Brooks,

134
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 2: he had the long touchdown run on the ground, they

135
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 2: weren't bombing it over the top like they were able

136
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 2: to do against Alabama. Right, it was our po stuff

137
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 2: and there were guys running wide open. There were big

138
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 2: plays for Texas, but it wasn't the same kind of

139
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 2: breakdown that we had come that we were used to

140
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 2: seeing from this Oklahoma defense last year, and so it

141
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: was calculated risks from Oklahoma. It was receivers not stepping

142
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 2: up all the time for Oklahoma. I think it was

143
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 2: Jalil Faruk who had a couple of big catches, and

144
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: Nick Anderson obviously had the game winning catch in the

145
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 2: corner of the end zone. That's where I think Texas's

146
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 2: biggest advantage in this game was. Though it didn't really

147
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 2: fully play out, Xavier Worthy made big plays. Play of

148
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 2: the game though. Was Oklahoma stoning Xavier Worthy on that

149
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 2: quick fourth down screen out wide on the goal line?

150
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 2: Was it not? Yeah? No, I think it had to be.

151
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 2: And I don't know if you felt this about I

152
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 2: made a YouTube short about this where it was just

153
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,239
Speaker 2: like Texas is all gas, no breaks. They set themselves

154
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,239
Speaker 2: up for a game winning or a potential game winning

155
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 2: field goal with a minute fifteen left third and nine.

156
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 2: They don't even really try. It was sort of an

157
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 2: unseerious attempt at a first down with a rushing play

158
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 2: and it's okay to run it on third and nine

159
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 2: if you're like, well, I've packaged it with a fourth

160
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 2: down situation. And then they just turned to Burt Auburn,

161
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 2: who has been a little bit shaky, but he nails

162
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 2: the kick but leaves. They leave Oklahoma a ton of time,

163
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 2: and it felt like there were breaks in that moment

164
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 2: for the Texas offense.

165
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,239
Speaker 1: I mean, Sark must have been at the same offseason

166
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: conference as Jared Parker because we could talk about that

167
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 1: a little bit, but later on in the show. Now, look,

168
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you're right about all that stuff.

169
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I would circle back to the beginning part

170
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: of the game, right. The beginning part of this game

171
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: was everything a rivalry is supposed to be. It was frenetic,

172
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: it was chaotic, it was both teams I think feeling

173
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: some of the early game jitters, and eventually, as things

174
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: normalized down. We got to see what each of these

175
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: teams were made out of. The Quinn Youwers story to

176
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: me is particularly interesting coming into this game because he

177
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: had zero turnovers on the year going into what last

178
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: week's games Kansas, Yet he had no turnovers. He threw

179
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: the interception today, responsible for all three of Texas's turnovers

180
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 1: two interceptions and a fumble. All told, had a pretty

181
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: good statistical game. It was not a bad game from

182
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: a stats standpoint. Even from a regular standpoint, it was

183
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: still pretty good, but the mistakes were quite costly, and

184
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: I actually thought the broadcast did a pretty good job

185
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 1: highlighting some of what he's going through. Like Holly Road

186
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: talked about how he is working with like a coach

187
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: on the side to help with his mental preparation given

188
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: the fact that he's like afraid of failure in moments

189
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: like this, and you know, you hope for his sake

190
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 1: that this doesn't do anything further to damage that state,

191
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: because it's you know, in sports, it's crazy, and especially

192
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: when you've got so much pressure on you. Quin yours

193
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: is a hell of a quarterback. It was just a

194
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: few of those yippie moments that got them and thankfully

195
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: for Oklahoma's sake, they were able to take advantage of it.

196
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: And speaking of the broadcast, can I bring up the

197
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: broadcast side of this first week?

198
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 2: I do? Please do? Was this not a weird broadcast?

199
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 2: It was a little bit strange. Well, you have the

200
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 2: frame shifting over to the right, and then there were

201
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 2: like blip moments where it would like speed would cut

202
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 2: in and out, so.

203
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: The TV frame was off center for a while. They

204
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 1: eventually fixed it, but the signal kept cutting out, apparently

205
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: because the Earth and Disney's satellite are in direct line

206
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: with the sun and that causes something called the sun.

207
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 2: Is that true?

208
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: That is one hundred percent true.

209
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 2: This is what you were doing at commercial breaks figuring

210
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 2: out why this was happening.

211
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: No, I was on the phone with YouTube TV, not

212
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: about that, but about the multiview. Of course you are, yeah,

213
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: of course I was gotta stay on brand, right. I

214
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: know this is a first world problem, but I'm going

215
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: to bring it up here. Yeah. It is ridiculous to

216
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: me that the only option on every YouTube TV multiview mode,

217
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: the configuration that featured this game was the alternate ESPN

218
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: two feed, all right, and not the ABC feed with

219
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 1: Fowler and Herbie. It was the other one. I thought

220
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: this somebody made a mistake. So I was calling YouTube

221
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: TV and I'm like, hey, guys, I just want to

222
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: let you know, want to report that there's been an error.

223
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 2: And then I got me tie again, right it tie again?

224
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: And then I got some dude on the phone.

225
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 2: He's like, no, no, no, it's not a mistake. It's not

226
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 2: a mistake.

227
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: The provider is the one that picks what shows up

228
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: in the box. Now, this is a support guy. The

229
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 1: support guy is probably not in the room where it happens. Okay,

230
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: But all that being said, I would like to know

231
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: how that decision happened.

232
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 2: Yep. Nothing against Pat McAfee.

233
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: I like Pat McAfee a great deal, but it felt

234
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: very odd to me that they would pick that that

235
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: particular feed to put in the upper left hand corner

236
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: of my quad box. And maybe somebody can dig in

237
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: a little bit more to that, but.

238
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 2: That really to juice the McAfee numbers.

239
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: Listen, I'm not a conspiracy theorist. Okay, Okay, people were

240
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: tweeting that at me because of course they tweeted about

241
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: this to keep on brand. But I would like to

242
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: know more about the decision to put that feed on

243
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 1: my TV in a smaller box than putting the ABC feed.

244
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 2: Anyway, Can I bring this back and conclude our Texas

245
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 2: Oklahoma recap?

246
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: Please do?

247
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 2: Oklahoma has some serious juice. Oklahoma has some serious, serious juice.

248
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 2: They go into a bye week. I don't believe they

249
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 2: play any other viable team. Do you want to pete

250
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 2: with them if they play like this?

251
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: I mean, do you want to talk about twelve in Oklahoma?

252
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 2: Twelve and Oklahoma? Was that something you came up with

253
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 2: or is that something that you saw online?

254
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: I did not see it online. I'm sure it exists online.

255
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 2: Okay, great minds twelve in Oklahoma. I The worry is

256
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 2: Dylan Gabriel's health. Obviously that's been a concern over the

257
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 2: course of his career. Again, if they bring the juice

258
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 2: like they brought it against Texas today in Dallas in

259
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 2: the Cotton Bowl, it's not even a take. At this point,

260
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 2: they're looking very strong, especially if the receivers continue to improve.

261
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 2: Shall we go to our next biggie, our big do it.

262
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 2: Let's do it.

263
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: Let's go to Alabama, Texas A and m Dan This

264
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: one was is a big guy. Yeah, this was twenty

265
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: six to twenty Alabama wins the game over A and

266
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: M on the road. We I don't know, if I

267
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: want to play the sound. We may have a zombie

268
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: Alabama situation brewing. Okay, we may have one brewing. So

269
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: the zombie Alabama situation for people who are listening don't

270
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: know what we're talking about. Zombie Alabama is when Alabama

271
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: tastes its own blood and then turns into a zombie

272
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: that you cannot kill. Yes, and I started to get

273
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: that zombie Alabama feel again watching Jalen Milroe in some

274
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: key moments, watching him drop back. When Jalen Milroe has

275
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: time to throw, and when he's got a guy streaking

276
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 1: down the field, he's very good at throwing a deep ball.

277
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: There were some beautiful passes.

278
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, he and I mean it started out with Isaiah

279
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 2: Bond earlier on in the season and Jermaine Burton and

280
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 2: Milroe had a nice connection.

281
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, continue when he has time to throw that deep ball.

282
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: There's a lot to like about his game. There also

283
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: are other moments like the interception that he floated over

284
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: the middle in the early portion of the third quarter.

285
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: Whenever it was that make you remember, Oh this is

286
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: still we're still having some questions about this quarterback thing

287
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: at Alabama. But look, career highs for him on the

288
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: passing front. Three twenty one three touchdowns, did have that

289
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: one pretty bad interception, But what they did a good

290
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: job of in this game, if only because the line

291
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: gave him time for some of those deeper roots to develop.

292
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: When he does not have to make that quick decision,

293
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: when it's not like a bang bang read and quick

294
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: throw it over the middle, when he has a chance

295
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: to really set his feet and throw, he can be

296
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: damn effective. And he was in this game. He was

297
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: really really good. This was I thought a bit of

298
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: a coming out party for him. I thought the fact

299
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: that Alabama was able to win this game against a

300
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: tough defense on the road pretty much on the power

301
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: of his arm and passing ability was a pretty big

302
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: hurdle for the squad because that is not something we

303
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: have said to date. It has been an offense that

304
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: we have thought first and foremost as a running offense,

305
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: and they just did not get it going on the

306
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: ground in.

307
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 2: This They didn't run.

308
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: They didn't have to write it was Jalen Milroe. They

309
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: had an opening they took it. They trusted him to

310
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: make those plays, and I think that's really significant for

311
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: what it could mean for Alabama. The rest of the way.

312
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 2: You just spent so much time saying so many correct,

313
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 2: defensible words without mentioning Texas A and M at all,

314
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 2: which is I mean, it's sad to talk about Texas

315
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 2: A and M. They're up at halftime seventeen ten. Obviously,

316
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 2: Max Johnson backup quarterback. There's talent on both sides of

317
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 2: the ball for A and M. Look, it's really interesting

318
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 2: receivers with what Moose Mohammad and Evan Stewart and Ayah Smith.

319
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 2: I think it was Evan Moss in the backfield making plays.

320
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 2: They've got no offensive line. I think at one point

321
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 2: the center tripped over the right guard's leg at the

322
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 2: same moment that the left guard got pushed back and

323
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 2: two guys ended up on the ground tripping over each

324
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 2: other on I think it was like on third and

325
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 2: ten or something like that. Yeah, there's a lot to

326
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 2: like about texts A and M. There's not a lot

327
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 2: to like about this offensive line. There's not a lot

328
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 2: to like about how the secondary seems to be being

329
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 2: coached at times, and there're certainly this is an offensive

330
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 2: line that needs to be overhauled, and they just had

331
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 2: no answer, especially when you're protecting a quarterback in Max Johnson,

332
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 2: who we talked about this tends to hold on to

333
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 2: the ball too long, and you're coached by a head

334
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 2: coach who once again shrinks away.

335
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: You mean shrink it, yes, significant shrinkage significant the game.

336
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, they How many points did they score in the

337
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 2: second half of this game? Three points? Yeah. Yeah. So

338
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 2: they're up at halftime and they lose the second half

339
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,719
Speaker 2: sixteen to three. I think the concept of making adjustments

340
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 2: at halftime can be a bit overblown, considering, right, you

341
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 2: got to get to the locker room, guys are going

342
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 2: to the bathroom, guys are rehydrating, whatever. There's a lot

343
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 2: going on at halftime for you to be like, all right,

344
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 2: forget the corner of stuff we were running. This is

345
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 2: how that's not happening at halftime in the way that

346
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 2: I think a lot of us hope it does when

347
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 2: we're rooting for our teams to make and take advantage

348
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 2: of those moments. But Alabama got more comfortable, and maybe

349
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 2: it's a mental thing, and Alabama's offense, you're absolutely right.

350
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 2: There's no identity to it beyond let's hope Jalen Milroe

351
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 2: makes a better play than that last one or that

352
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 2: the one that he put onto the put on tape

353
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 2: five plays ago or whatever. And he seems cool, calm

354
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 2: and collected. I don't know if he has the poise

355
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 2: in the pocket to step into throws consistently on rhythm,

356
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 2: but he also I think on one of the touchdown

357
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 2: throws to Jermaine Burton along the right sideline, I think

358
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 2: that was like his fourth progression. You could see him

359
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,239
Speaker 2: scanning left to right. So it's not like he's like

360
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 2: a one guy and go and he's good, but he's

361
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 2: kind of high pitch good like he's good, but you're

362
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 2: not convinced he's obviously. To mac Jones, no he's not.

363
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: He's not. And let me make another point on out.

364
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 1: But good enough, right, Oh yeah, I mean he's absolutely

365
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: good enough. I mean there's still a lot of teams

366
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: that would that would take that level.

367
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 2: Break and bake cookies aren't great, but they're good enough.

368
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: Good enough, they are. Yeah, we should probably talk about

369
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: the Alabama defense. Let's because especially in the second half,

370
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: you know, Jalen Milroe was good.

371
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 2: He was good, right, yeah, right, he's high pitch good.

372
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 1: But if not for the key plays by this defense,

373
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: this game is much different result. They had the two

374
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 1: early A and M. At the two early red zone trips,

375
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: they came with three points. Bama had some key sacks,

376
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: They had a block kick, they forced by virtue of

377
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: their pressure, a holding penalty in the end zone for

378
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: a safety. They did change the tenor of this game

379
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: with their defense in a way that over the course

380
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: of sixty minutes really really started to add up. Bama

381
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 1: was not flawless on the offensive side of the ball.

382
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: I mentioned the bad interception. They had a ton of

383
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: procedural penalties early on, So like.

384
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,959
Speaker 2: Eight I think they they had like I think they

385
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 2: had five times more penalty yardage than A and M

386
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 2: in this game.

387
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it was wild. They fourteen for ninety

388
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 1: nine in total, but they had I want to say,

389
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: eight or nine procedural penalties in the first half alone,

390
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: and they need to get that resolved. But given the

391
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 1: fact that the defense played I think as well as

392
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 1: it did. Of course, there were big plays throughout this game,

393
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 1: but by and large, the way that the Bama defense

394
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: stepped up in the second half especially, I thought was

395
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: was really really telling there is this thing and then

396
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: we should probably move on Jimbo not going forward on

397
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: fourth and one from the forty five.

398
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, what was what was the quote? It was something like,

399
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 2: you know, if it was a foot closer or something

400
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 2: like that. We're just like, that's not how it works, Jimbo.

401
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 2: It's just not you're either an aggressive coach who needs

402
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 2: to bring touchdowns to a field goal party, or is

403
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 2: bringing field goals to a touchdown party. And it was

404
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,719
Speaker 2: clear that the touchdowns weren't happening for A and M.

405
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 2: It was clear that Alabama saw blood in the water

406
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 2: with the A and M offensive line. And that's when

407
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 2: you need to get on the horn with Bobby Patrino

408
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 2: and be like, we need to kind of run it

409
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 2: like this. We need to kind of think about our

410
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 2: offense in terms of this, because if we're not taking

411
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 2: advantage of our third and shorts and fourth in shorts

412
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 2: to keep drives going to maybe wear down this Alabama

413
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 2: front and get them going the wrong way, use misdirection,

414
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 2: whatever it is, that's they're clearly going to lose. And

415
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 2: Jimbo just coaches losing football because he's not coaching to win.

416
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 2: He's not coaching to push a team around. He's not

417
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 2: coaching to keep a team on their heels. He keeps

418
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 2: his own team on their own heels, which seems sort

419
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 2: of antithetical to the whole point.

420
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 1: There was so significant shrinkage.

421
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 2: There was significant shrinkage. And what's the conclusion on Alabama

422
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 2: right now? They've beaten Ole miss They've beaten A and

423
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 2: M will get to LSU, who looks very vulnerable even

424
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 2: though they won, to say the least, they've beaten Mississippi State. Yes,

425
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 2: these all correct, They're all correct. They don't have LSU

426
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 2: for a little bit, and LSU is going to score

427
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 2: on everybody. But they're not a complete team like Alabama's

428
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 2: just sort of rollerblading to Atlanta at this point. They're

429
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,360
Speaker 2: just gliding through and there's not much in the way

430
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 2: in their way, And I don't know, it's it's wild

431
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 2: to think about given the still obvious limitations of this

432
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 2: Alabama team. Let's go to the next game. Dan, Yes,

433
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 2: guess who just got murdered.

434
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:06,959
Speaker 1: That'd be the Notre Dame offensive line.

435
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 2: Dan oh, Okay, can I jump in real quick? Does

436
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 2: anybody feel good about their offensive line in America. Maybe Michigan, Yeah,

437
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 2: maybe Georgia. I don't after the first couple of weeks.

438
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 2: I don't know if people felt first month. I don't

439
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 2: think Georgia fans felt amazing about their offensive line. I

440
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 2: think there's seven fan bases that would say, feel pretty

441
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 2: good about my offensive line.

442
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: It's a weird deal like that, and half of them

443
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: are in the Patriot League. Yeah, it's look thirty three

444
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: to twenty. Louisville knocks off number ten Notre Dame at home.

445
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: It's a big win for Louisville. Yippie freaking' ya. Congratulations,

446
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 1: nice win, Nice win Louisville. We went through the schedule before.

447
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: Louisville has a pretty nice little run here throughout the

448
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: course of the year. If they can continue playing at

449
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: a high level, they can continue running the football the

450
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: way they did against Notre Dame, there'll be in a

451
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: really good spot in acc play. We can break down

452
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: their schedule moving forward at some point here. But you

453
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 1: got to like what you see early out of Louisville

454
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: and Jeff Brahm, and you know, I think, in particular

455
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: with this game, the way that their defense controlled the

456
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: point of attack. Notre Dame.

457
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 2: You're being gracious, You're being gracious. Hy Let's take a

458
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 2: step back here, take a step back. I can't I

459
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 2: can't do this for a third straight week. Dan, I

460
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 2: can't do this for three straight weeks. I got to

461
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 2: do it again next week. Close your eyes, Close your eyes.

462
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 2: I don't want you to be gracious in this moment,

463
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 2: because everybody knows Louisville was better. Everybody knows there was

464
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 2: much more juice with the Louisville team than there was

465
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 2: with Notre Dame. And maybe that's just because it was

466
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 2: three straight weeks now of like a big roucous environment

467
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 2: and Notre Dame showing some limitations in certain areas and

468
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 2: showing some strength in certain areas. What did you feel

469
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 2: watching this game? Where was your anger? Where is your disappointment?

470
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 2: Where was your hope? How what was your experience watching

471
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 2: this game? As tie not host?

472
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: My reaction was, why does it feel like every big

473
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: game Notre Dame walks onto the field like they got

474
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,679
Speaker 1: tagged with a stun grenade? Why does it feel like

475
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 1: that all three of the big games that we've seen

476
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: the last three weeks, in all three of them. It

477
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 1: was a slow start in all three of them. It

478
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 1: felt like very conservative play calling until they didn't have

479
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 1: a choice. You know, if I know they're running, there's

480
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: a pretty good chance that Ryan Day and Jeff Brahm

481
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:45,479
Speaker 1: and Mike Elko know that they're going to run the football. Right.

482
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: Notre Dame at this point seems so committed to the

483
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 1: run that they can't break it off when they have to, right.

484
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: They almost stick with a run too long. Audreck guestime

485
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: could not get it going last week. He didn't get

486
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 1: it going this week. Last week, I guess with the

487
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: accept of a few key moments. But this week it

488
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: never happened. They started turning it over more to Jeremiah Love.

489
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: I don't like what they're doing on offense right now.

490
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: Because I don't know what they're doing on offense. They

491
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 1: should have just let Sam Hartman throw it more. Now

492
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: he finishes with three picks. Right, Some of those were

493
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: his faults, some weren't. I mean, I blame the offensive

494
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: line for most of it, to be frankly, I mean

495
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: the fact that this offensive line, which everybody talks about

496
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: coming into the season as so many potential and at

497
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: Joe as Oh he's a potential top ten pick. Joe

498
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 1: All got put on his butt. I don't know if

499
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: you saw that clip in this game, Blake Fishing. I

500
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: will look, we have this line supposedly that is going

501
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 1: to be draft worthy, and this is now like the

502
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: second straight week against a team perceived to be less

503
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: than where that offensive line got dominated, where that offensive

504
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: line couldn't establish a ground game, where that offensive line

505
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: was given up a ton of pressure to Sam Harmon.

506
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 1: So you know, from my standpoint, that's unacceptable. From my standpoint,

507
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: the other thing that I would say as a Notre

508
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: Dame fan is again, we have questionable coaching decisions. I

509
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: know it's easy to second guess going forward on a

510
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 1: fourth and whatever circumstance later in the game, deep inside

511
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: your own territory. There were nine minutes left in that game.

512
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 1: It was something like.

513
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 2: The thirty five yard line is where they went for

514
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 2: it on fourth and eleven.

515
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,959
Speaker 1: It was a fourth and eleven, Marcus Freeman decides he's

516
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: going to go for it. I don't mind the aggressiveness,

517
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: but the fact that they could not give Sam Hartman

518
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: any time to do his thing is just that was

519
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: not going to change whether it was first or fourth down,

520
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 1: or regardless of what blocking scheme they called, they were

521
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: just outmanned up front. We wanted it more. Either that

522
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: or they were just flat out better. I don't know,

523
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: But between some of the questionable coaching stuff, between some

524
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 1: of what I've seen over the last couple of weeks

525
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: where it just feels to me like they go out

526
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: there and they're timid to start the game with an

527
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 1: offense that feels to me like it doesn't have much

528
00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 1: of an identity beyond we're gonna run, run, run, run, run,

529
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: and then if we don't get the run working, we're

530
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: gonna try it again. Like for the first time. What

531
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,479
Speaker 1: I really started feeling was is this the right coaching staff?

532
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: I mean, is this the right coaching staff? Louisville out

533
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: Notre Dame?

534
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 2: Notre Dame. That's the way that they went straight at

535
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 2: the Irish jar Jordan was incredible. The offensive line was

536
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 2: very good, mostly Notre Dame's front actually really did hound

537
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 2: jack Plumber a good deal. But in terms of blocking

538
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 2: for the rushing attack, I thought they did a nice job.

539
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 2: Especially they just sort of went off tackle a lot

540
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 2: right at Notre Dame, and it seemed to work. Notre

541
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 2: Dame seemed to tire as the game went on. And Yeah,

542
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 2: I think you're right that they're trying to play bullyball,

543
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 2: but they've got the slow mesh quarterback. They're not really

544
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 2: they don't really have the wide receivers to go over

545
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 2: the top. If bullyball is working in play action, it's

546
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 2: just not doesn't feel like it's an offense that's off

547
00:27:59,200 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 2: the ground at all.

548
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: It feels like the commercial I forget what for when

549
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: they're using a hammer to try and drive something into

550
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 1: a piece of wood and the guy says, just keep

551
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 1: hitting it, Just keep hitting. That's their offense right now.

552
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: We're just going to keep running it and.

553
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 2: If it works, it works.

554
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 1: If not, it's going to be late in the game

555
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,199
Speaker 1: again when suddenly you've got to turn it over to

556
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: Sam Hartman. You got to go five wide and you

557
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 1: got to start throwing the ball. And so at some

558
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: point you have to not be as rigid with that scheme, identity,

559
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,719
Speaker 1: whatever the hell you want to call it, because it

560
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: doesn't work for three and a half quarters, it's already

561
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: too late, especially against a good team. You know, I

562
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: don't want to sell Louisville shorts I think Louisville play

563
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: a really good game. I think Louisville has been underrated

564
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: so far this season. They had a lot back. I

565
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: loved Juwar Jordan. I said it on the Previews show.

566
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: I love the fact that he's a home run hitter.

567
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: I love the fact that he's shifty, he's got wiggle,

568
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: he's got burst. There's a lot to like about him

569
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: and his rushing attack on the Louisville sid things. I

570
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: don't want to sell them short. They've got, I think,

571
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: an exciting season in front of them still. But on

572
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: the Notre Dame side, there's no way you can be

573
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: a fan of this team and not be incredibly disappointed

574
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: by the showing that you saw tonight. I mean, it

575
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: was a full on no show by the offensive line.

576
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: It didn't seem like the plan was able to adapt

577
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: to the circumstances of the game. And that's just really

578
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: freaking maddening. So I'll shut up now. Notre Dame their

579
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: sign game. Joe Testator, thank you Joe Testatur for reminding

580
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: me eight thousand times during that game that Notre Dame

581
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: needed to win and stay in the playoff conversation. I

582
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: was not previously aware of that, but nonetheless big win

583
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: for Louisville.

584
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 2: The huge win for Louisville. They've got the CW network

585
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 2: hosting their matchup against a filled your COVIC list pit

586
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 2: next week. But you talk about twelve in Oklahoma, I

587
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 2: don't have a wonderful pun for you. But Pitt Duke

588
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 2: likely without Riley Leonard, Virginia attack Virginia, Miami who quite

589
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 2: literally fumbled away a win against Georgia Tech to night

590
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 2: and Kentucky who lost by a bajillion to Georgia. It's

591
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 2: a nice little runway for Louisville moving forward, a nice

592
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 2: little runway. You're ready go next, Ready to go next.

593
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 2: Let's go out West real quick. Let's go out West

594
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 2: real quick. I liked UCLA in this one. It was

595
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 2: a bit of a comeback matchup. Ucla very quietly, in

596
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 2: the spirit of what a game at UCLA in the

597
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 2: Rose Bowl sounds like, very quietly, has played really good

598
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 2: defense this year, and Wazoo has played in a couple

599
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 2: of big games. We saw Wazoo host Wisconsin and beat them,

600
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 2: host Oregon State and beat them. So they've played in

601
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 2: these big time moments that UCLA really hasn't other than

602
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 2: an unimpressive loss to Utah. Ucla comes back mostly on

603
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 2: the ground, mostly with defense. They're playing a five star

604
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 2: quarterback who is able to show flashes but still throws

605
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 2: like just awful pick sixes at the same time deep

606
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 2: in Wazoo territory. Sorry, this was the game of the

607
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 2: day to me daytime, but as we're speaking, Arizona is

608
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 2: currently beating USC, right, so I'm not going to belabor

609
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 2: the point with Ucla. They were down, this game was

610
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 2: close with two or three minutes left in the third quarter.

611
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 2: They ran all over Wazoo and the power dynamic I

612
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 2: think remains sort of unchanged depending on what happens with

613
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 2: this Arizona USC matchup. But Ucla has like a top

614
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 2: fifteen or twenty defense probably in the country after being

615
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 2: disastrous recently.

616
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: So Ucla twenty five WAZU seventeen is your final score.

617
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

618
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: Ucla on this current trajectory is going to end up

619
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: as one of the more interesting teams in the country

620
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: because they got a true freshman quarterback and this was

621
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: sort of the reset year for Chip Kelly, right. He

622
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: had put in all this time sort of on the

623
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: leading edge of the project to build this team into

624
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: one that was more physical and didn't get dominated on

625
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: the lines and could run the ball. It took a

626
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: while to kind of mold dt R into who he

627
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: wanted him to be, and then a lot of guys

628
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: left the program and it was kind of starting over

629
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: with Dante Moore. And Dante Moore is certainly not a

630
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: finished product at this point. He shows flashes. But what

631
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: I really think is the story clearly is the defense.

632
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,719
Speaker 1: I mean, they held cam Ward on two hundred yards passing,

633
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: they forced four turnovers. It does not seem like a

634
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: mirage to me. It is. It is definitely a better

635
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: defense than a year ago. The question I guess as

636
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: we as we get into more of the PAC twelve

637
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: season will be is the defense good enough to overcompensate

638
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: for what I believe will be more Dante Moore mistakes

639
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: along the way, Because I think you're gonna you're just

640
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: gonna get that with the freshman quarterback. We've seen the flashes.

641
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: We've also seen the mistakes. You saw the pick six

642
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: in this game, especially, which was particularly ugly. Yep, But

643
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: you know, provided the defense is not a catastrophe. I

644
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: say it all the time about marginal improvements on the

645
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball if you already can play offense,

646
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: I don't know what that looks like for UCLA. It's

647
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: part of why I was I don't want to pat

648
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: myself the back too much. Well, I was high. Why

649
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: I was high on Ucla coming into this season because

650
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: it felt like they had a lot of pieces. But

651
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: to say that I predicted that their defense would look

652
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: this much better, that would be a lie I didn't.

653
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 2: By the way, And just in terms of their offense

654
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 2: real quick, and we're gonna get to Ohio State Maryland.

655
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 2: These are the defenses that they're facing moving forward as

656
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 2: their offense tries to improve. Oregon State, Stanford, Colorado, Arizona,

657
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 2: Arizona State, USC cal This I don't know if we

658
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 2: can like name this week like posthumously, even though it's

659
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 2: technically not over yet. But there's as a nice little

660
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 2: road moving forward for a lot of these teams that

661
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 2: are showing more and more. So I don't know, should

662
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 2: we get to Ohio State Maryland.

663
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: Let's get to Ohio State Maryland. Final score or Ohio

664
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: State Maryland thirty seven to seven depends when you got

665
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: this point spread.

666
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 2: Dan right on the number.

667
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: If you got it nineteen and a half, you're feeling good.

668
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: If you got it twenty, you didn't lose anything. If

669
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: you got it twenty and a half or a little

670
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: bit higher than that's bad beat. Okay, I think we

671
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: credit Maryland for a competitive first half. It was a

672
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 1: competitive first half. I think we look at this game

673
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: and we say.

674
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 2: Ohio State won for some people.

675
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 1: They covered numbers wise, the numbers look pretty good. The

676
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 1: issue is if you actually watched this game. If you

677
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: actually watch this game, you will know that Ohio State

678
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 1: did not really look that good. This is a game

679
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: that was tied ten ten at half. This is a

680
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 1: game in which Ohio State went three of twelve on

681
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: third downs, They had ten penalties. It took Kyle macord

682
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,760
Speaker 1: a while to get going. And now I think further

683
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: context on the Notre Dame side, with what we've seen

684
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: with Notre Dame's line, with what we've seen from Notre

685
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: Dame in the last two weeks, going back three weeks, now,

686
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,720
Speaker 1: what we saw in the Notre Dame Ohio State game,

687
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: I must be honest, it does make me question is

688
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: Ohio State a mirage? To some extent we know about

689
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 1: the skilled talent out wide, that's not going away. We

690
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: know about in general. The running game can be good,

691
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: can be good, but yes, yeah, Kyle McCord's a question mark.

692
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 1: And the fact that that defensive line got pushed around

693
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: by the Notre Dame offensive line in the manner that

694
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: it did a couple of weeks ago does make me

695
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: question where the buck guys, Where the Buckeyes come down

696
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: when the music stops, because they've essentially got a two

697
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 1: game season now the rest of the way with Penn

698
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: State and Michigan.

699
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 2: So a few things. One, it was raining in Columbus.

700
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 2: That makes life harder for quarterbacks. It just does. It

701
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 2: seemed to make things tougher for Kyle McCord early, and

702
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 2: then he kind of got used to it and was

703
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 2: connecting downfield into the second quarter and then into the

704
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 2: second half. I thought Maryland did a nice job. I

705
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 2: thought they did a good job putting their guys in

706
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 2: position to succeed against a team that's clearly more athletic

707
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 2: and more talented. They were spreading the ball around to

708
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 2: different receivers, they were running the ball effectively to it

709
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 2: was scrambling and had design runs that worked out really

710
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 2: really well for Maryland. Like, this is still an Ohio

711
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 2: State defense that has largely held down everybody it's played.

712
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 2: Hasn't played a ton of teams, but as we saw

713
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 2: against Notre Dame, Notre Dame I don't think scored in

714
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 2: the first half. I think credit Maryland for game planning

715
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 2: really well, for taking advantage of clear deficiencies on offensive

716
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 2: line for Ohio State, and they just couldn't sustain at

717
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 2: a certain point. Talent and depth are going to win

718
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:37,320
Speaker 2: out at a certain point. You can only guard Marvin

719
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 2: Harrison Junior and keep Marvis and Marvin Harrison Junior in

720
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 2: front of you, or you know, stove for anybody, any

721
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 2: one of these guys for so long. The thing that

722
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 2: I take away from this game is one, You're right

723
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 2: that it's a two game season. Does this offensive line

724
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 2: get better? Does this pass rush get better?

725
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: Like?

726
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 2: I think there's definitely talent in the secondary. Obviously, the

727
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 2: linebacking corpse super experience for Ohio State, like JT. Tumalu's incredible.

728
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 2: What else is there that's truly scary for a team

729
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 2: like Penn State or Michigan. I'm not so sure in

730
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 2: this moment, especially when the offense just starts slow all

731
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 2: the time, like this is not a plug and play

732
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 2: situation for Kyle McCord after so many terrific Ohio State quarterbacks.

733
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 2: I'm nitpicking because this team hasn't lost, They've beaten quality teams.

734
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 2: But when you're a team on this level, you're compared

735
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 2: against yourself and there are some troubling items if you're

736
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 2: an Ohio State fan that I think was very clearly

737
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,959
Speaker 2: on display against a quality team like Maryland and so, yes,

738
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 2: they win by twenty, but it kind of took four

739
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 2: quarters for them to do so. And we're used to

740
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 2: them being up forty nine to nothing at halftime, right

741
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 2: was that Michigan State a few years ago. We're used

742
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 2: to that. They are failing to meet the bar that

743
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 2: they have set. Same coach, same system, same quality skill players,

744
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 2: but they're not meeting that system upfront on both the

745
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 2: ball right now. There's talent there, but they're just not executing.

746
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 2: And that's it's odd because they've been one of the

747
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 2: surest things in this sport.

748
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,919
Speaker 1: Well it is. There was some questionable officiating in this game.

749
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 2: Sure, if you need to say that, then you're not

750
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 2: ready to win a national Championship. No, no, I'm not.

751
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: I'm not excusing any of what you've described, right, I'm

752
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: just saying for the sake of being a completist. Uh,

753
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,240
Speaker 1: there was some questionable officiating in this game. I should

754
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,720
Speaker 1: also call out. But look, Maryland was competitive for half,

755
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: tied at halftime, but second half a bit of a

756
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: crock potting. I'm not going to play it because I

757
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 1: just didn't feel good about couldn't.

758
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 2: Run the ball though. Ohio State, I got it, you know,

759
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 2: going in the red zone a little chip train them

760
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 2: seems quality. No Trey Henderson in this, but like, I

761
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 2: don't know, it's a different experience, Ti, It's a different

762
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 2: Buckeye experience.

763
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's not your not your father's so high,

764
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: not your older cousins, Ohio State.

765
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 2: Let's say let's say, all right, so those are a

766
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:00,760
Speaker 2: big right.

767
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,479
Speaker 1: Those are Biggie should move on to our favorite things

768
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: from this week.

769
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 2: Let's do that, okay, Ti, good for you? Was your

770
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 2: favorite thing? Me finding this?

771
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: Yeah?

772
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 2: That was Was that your favorite Week six thing?

773
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 1: When you played that without warning earlier? That killed me?

774
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 2: Yeah that was a good one. That's just for you.

775
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,280
Speaker 1: So look, my top five of the rest of the games.

776
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, top five things, storylines, performance is whatever.

777
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: Dude, we gotta talk about this Miami loss. We got

778
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:40,720
Speaker 1: to talk about this. It happened right before, right before

779
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 1: we were ready to go ahead and record. So George Tech.

780
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 1: George Tech is out gained by two hundred yards. Yeah,

781
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 1: give or take. They beat Miami in a game that

782
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: I would best describe as a series of unforced errors.

783
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 1: This game was super ugly on both Yeah, but there

784
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 1: was nothing bigger and uglier and just whatever than Miami's

785
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: fifth turnover. Here is the situation. Miami fumbled the ball

786
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 1: with less than a minute left. They could have taken

787
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,879
Speaker 1: a knee, run out the clock and won the game.

788
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: They decide they're going to run it, they fumble it,

789
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:24,399
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech recovers it, and then Miami gives up a

790
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: forty four yard touchdown pass with like one second left

791
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 1: on the clock. It was a ridiculous forty four yard touchdown.

792
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,760
Speaker 1: It was not one of those hail Mary's where Haynes

793
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: King scrambles around and just chucks it up like.

794
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 2: The javelin that he usually looks like he's throwing.

795
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:49,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, this was essentially like five Miami defenders being caught

796
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 1: on their heels. Yeah, and a Georgia Tech receiver running

797
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: unabated behind them, catching a ball in stride and going

798
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 1: into the end zone.

799
00:40:58,320 --> 00:40:59,320
Speaker 2: So acurate.

800
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech wins in ridiculous fashion on the road in Miami,

801
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:08,720
Speaker 1: a game that I locked up yea twenty three to twenty.

802
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: How can that not be one of my favorite things?

803
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: That was one of the more ridiculous coaching moves at

804
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:16,359
Speaker 1: the end there that I've perhaps ever seen.

805
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,359
Speaker 2: Well, it's yeah, it's not just letting Haines King throw

806
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 2: a wild it's you just need to kneel the ball

807
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 2: and you fumble it. And that's not even the first

808
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:27,760
Speaker 2: time in the last five years. That's like Mario Chrisaball

809
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,879
Speaker 2: did that at Oregon with CJ. Verdell against Stanford, where

810
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 2: they just need to kneel it and I understand being

811
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 2: aggressive and leaving no doubt. Whatever. Well, we've been left

812
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 2: with some doubt about Miami in the close games. Georgia

813
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 2: Tech just lost to Bowling Green. They just demoted their

814
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator because they lost to the mighty Falcons of

815
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 2: Bowling Green. And Georgia Tech just went into Miami and

816
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 2: played a team that looks like an XFL team with

817
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 2: those like glow in the Dark uniform. Those are all

818
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 2: black with the neon greene. And somehow, some way they

819
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 2: were able to win this game. And it's poor coaching,

820
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 2: poor decision making, and this is this is a great

821
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:15,760
Speaker 2: time of year because inevitably, you know, two three weeks

822
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 2: into the season, it's a very like first month of

823
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 2: the season thing where it's just like, I don't know, guys,

824
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 2: this is looking like a new blank right, this is

825
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:25,800
Speaker 2: looking like a new Miami. This is looking like a

826
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 2: Mario Christ offense. Back to Shannon Dawson. Look what they

827
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 2: did to Texas A and M. They're just drilling them deep.

828
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 2: Didn't mean to come across talking like that. But Georgia

829
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 2: Tech is able to win this game.

830
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech wins.

831
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 2: We've got vintage Miami. We've got vintage like Mario has

832
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:51,800
Speaker 2: brought Miami back, but just to like the low points

833
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 2: of the Mark Ricked era, of the Manny Dias era,

834
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 2: not necessarily the Butcher Davis era. And so look, they're

835
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,399
Speaker 2: gonna have these peaks and valleys all year long. They

836
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 2: like TVD looked not all that good for most of

837
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 2: this game. Noo had some Yeah, but who Yeah, I mean,

838
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 2: I don't know how you lose that game. I just

839
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 2: don't ugly.

840
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 1: Game for everyone other than Xavier Ristreppo.

841
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought. I mean James Williams had a great

842
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 2: pick in there near the end of the game that

843
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 2: seemed like it was going to be a game changer. No,

844
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:26,280
Speaker 2: you can't lose like this, you just can't.

845
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 1: That's number two. That's number one of my top five.

846
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 1: Number two. Good for Oklahoma State.

847
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 2: Good for Friday Night. Man.

848
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:38,359
Speaker 1: I've been ripping Oklahoma States since last year, and they

849
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: just cruised past Kansas State on Friday Night. Twenty nine

850
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 1: to twenty one was the score. It also felt like

851
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: a comedy of errors for Kansas State. They had no

852
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 1: energy in this game. I watched this game. It put

853
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:55,359
Speaker 1: me to sleep. Just nothing, no juice whatsoever. Our boy,

854
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,879
Speaker 1: the British comedy legend Alan Bowman is healthy. He had

855
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: two thirty five, no touchdowns, but no picks. The Oklahoma

856
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 1: State defense got three picks off of Will Howard. I

857
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 1: credit Oklahoma State because I think in the face of

858
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: criticism throughout, it's not just me saying that the program

859
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 1: is done, so that there's something wrong with the structure

860
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 1: of the recruiting operation and the what whatever. This is

861
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,399
Speaker 1: a big win against ky State. Case State, I believe

862
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:23,959
Speaker 1: is still pretty large. So that's number two.

863
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,359
Speaker 2: But we don't know. We don't know Kase State's good.

864
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: We have no idea.

865
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 2: They lost to Miszoo and now they've lost to Oklahoma State.

866
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 2: We'll see.

867
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:37,280
Speaker 1: Number three Boston freaking College. Boston College brought the Army

868
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: to West Point, Dan, What do I mean by that?

869
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: Boston College through the ball nine times nine times against

870
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 1: Army West Point. Meanwhile, they ran it sixty one times

871
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 1: for two ninety nine and four touchdowns.

872
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 2: They out armied Army.

873
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 1: They won by three.

874
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,320
Speaker 2: I think it was because they're the same as every

875
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 2: team they play, Yeah, by three, twenty seven to twenty four.

876
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,839
Speaker 1: As we said, they're they're only as good as or

877
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 1: slightly worse than any of the teams in their schedule.

878
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 1: But Boston College with a decidedly service academy game plan

879
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: going to West Point and rushing for sixty one attempts,

880
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 1: that's number three. Uh. Number four on my list is Drake.

881
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 2: May I mean, come on, this was immedia against Syracuse.

882
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 1: This is a flash fry. This was a flash fry.

883
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 1: This was just a beatdown, man.

884
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 2: This was a bike and.

885
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 1: Play bomb race play. It is pulled out ahead and

886
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 1: that was it. They just they just drifted deep into

887
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 1: the horizon. Uh four forty two for Drake May, three touchdowns,

888
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 1: they route Syracuse forty to seven. The numbers are, of

889
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 1: course gaudy. Obviously, Drake May is a Heisman candidate. Obviously

890
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 1: good that Tedes Walker gets to play now because the

891
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:03,320
Speaker 1: CAA had an epiphany of some sort. I am glad

892
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: that he was out there, he got in on the action,

893
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:08,400
Speaker 1: and I would expect that we're going to see more

894
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 1: of him throughout the course of the year. But that

895
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,360
Speaker 1: is not even the main talking point. The main talking

896
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 1: point is that Syracuse had two turnovers. They were held

897
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,720
Speaker 1: to just two hundred and twenty one yards and seven points.

898
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 1: I've been saying it, You've been saying it for three

899
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 1: weeks now. But North Carolina with the defense, with the defense,

900
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm saying it. But North Carolina with

901
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:38,319
Speaker 1: a defense. Look at the schedule. North Carolina with the

902
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: defense could go twelve and zero.

903
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:41,799
Speaker 2: They could go twelve and oh.

904
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 1: They could play Florida State in the AEC title game.

905
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,359
Speaker 2: Sure, play Louisville in the a SEC title game. They're good.

906
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 2: So we have what we have, Miami, Virginia, Georgia Tech,

907
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 2: the Mighty Campbell's of Campbell Duke maybe with Riley Leonard.

908
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 2: I don't know what the latest on his injury diagnosis is. Clemson,

909
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 2: NC State. That's a tough way both on the road

910
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 2: to end the season for North Carolina. But I mean,

911
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 2: after this week, I think it's not unreasonable to say

912
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 2: they have like a top thirty.

913
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 1: Ish No, No, So I think I think North Carolina.

914
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,799
Speaker 1: I look, we all like Drake may Drake makes fun

915
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: of watch unless you're playing against him. But the fact

916
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 1: that now there's tes Walker element to this, which I

917
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: think makes it much easier to root for North Carolina,

918
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:25,719
Speaker 1: that this worked out for him, the fact that they

919
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:32,479
Speaker 1: are perhaps very quietly a worthy adversary for a team

920
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 1: like a Florida State or in this case, Louisville, I

921
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:37,760
Speaker 1: think that makes them very interesting. So that's my fourth

922
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:39,279
Speaker 1: thing from this past week.

923
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:43,319
Speaker 2: It's a big basketball year, right, huge year with Louisville

924
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 2: and North Carolina emerging, with UCLA emerging, there's a lot

925
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:54,839
Speaker 2: of basketball. Kansas just demolished UCF right number five. Final

926
00:47:54,960 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 2: thing for me, Yeah, Iowa States pants. I mean the

927
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 2: whole Iowa State experience. Yeah, the whole Iowa State experience.

928
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 2: But did you see the pants? So this is the

929
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 2: Jack Trice yea honoring Okay, I did their skin colored? Yeah?

930
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 2: So a lot of a lot of guys porky piging

931
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:18,319
Speaker 2: around the field. Is that what you're saying it was?

932
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:24,799
Speaker 1: I saw some folks online were using like the pixelation

933
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 1: feature of Photoshop or nice.

934
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,759
Speaker 2: Nice or any of their online graphics. I think there's

935
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 2: an HBO show that can be spun off of what

936
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:36,360
Speaker 2: Iowa State may have. Like, could they could just or

937
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:38,360
Speaker 2: what is it called max now where you just be

938
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 2: like naked football. There's like a naked dating show. There

939
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:47,760
Speaker 2: was naked and Afraid, naked and aims. It was ridiculous. Yeah,

940
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 2: that's those are good things. And they won. They were

941
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 2: wearing those uniforms, right, I mean they don't bury the

942
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 2: lead here?

943
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:55,439
Speaker 1: Big win on the TCU. Yeah.

944
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 2: I think it was Chandler Morris through a couple of

945
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 2: picks and got hurt.

946
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 1: He's hurt.

947
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 2: He did get hurt. I think he got rolled up

948
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 2: and he was in the injury ten I saw that

949
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 2: and rock Obec didn't do much, but Ioa State got

950
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 2: it done. They're led by their defense. Once again.

951
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 1: What are your top five dan for the week that was?

952
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:15,799
Speaker 2: We have so many? I have so many. I have

953
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 2: exactly five. Number one and this is in a specific order.

954
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 2: LSU is trying to murder its own fans. LSU is

955
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 2: either going to start the I mean they start the

956
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:32,239
Speaker 2: season in disappointing fashion, after playing a competitive half and

957
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:34,720
Speaker 2: getting blown out in the second half against Florida State.

958
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 2: We see the shootout loss last week to Ole Miss.

959
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:44,400
Speaker 2: We see a survival against a very down Arkansas offense,

960
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 2: and somehow, some way they're able to pull out a

961
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:50,919
Speaker 2: game in which Miszoo was like, We're gonna just try

962
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,360
Speaker 2: a bunch of new two point conversion plays and have

963
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 2: them work in the first half, and we're gonna get

964
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 2: it to Luther Burden in creative ways. We're gonna run,

965
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:00,840
Speaker 2: which is not something that they've able to claim that

966
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 2: they've been able to do, so they're doing all of

967
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:07,439
Speaker 2: these novel things. Brady Cook is incredible all season long.

968
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 2: He ends up throwing two interceptions his first two of

969
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 2: the season, including a backbreaking one that lost them the

970
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 2: game front or cover Sorry dog, cover, Sorry dogs. And

971
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:23,360
Speaker 2: then Missoo, of course, decides to issue its own version

972
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 2: of shrinkage. You mean shrinking, Yes, it's true. Significant significant shrinkage.

973
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 2: Yes significant. Harold Perkins is all over the field because

974
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 2: he is the one true good thing in the lives

975
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 2: of LSU fans as it relates to their team. And

976
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 2: I would say Jane Daniels is doing everything. The offense

977
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 2: is in a great place. The defense is soft, the

978
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 2: defense is quite sof this secondary is not good. These

979
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 2: linebackers do not tackle. There are lanes for days playing

980
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 2: against his LSU defense, And so to me, the story

981
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 2: was LSU surviving but antagonizing to a crazy degree the

982
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:06,280
Speaker 2: people that want them to win and be good. Yeah, Miszoo.

983
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 1: By the way, going a little overboard with the Timmy

984
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:12,239
Speaker 1: trumpet on third down in the stadium, you can't you

985
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 1: can't unhear it. It's every third day. It's like Rocky

986
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 1: Top at Tennessee. They're really aggressive with it. Kudos to

987
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:23,400
Speaker 1: Brady Cook, by the way, Brady Cook, he lost his record.

988
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 1: He threw an interception to I believe Harold Perkins, but

989
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 1: went three hundred and sixty six pass attempts without an interception,

990
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:34,880
Speaker 1: so that that streak was snapped in this game. But

991
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 1: like night and Day, compared to last year, he looked

992
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:41,319
Speaker 1: so much more comfortable this year. It helped in this

993
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 1: game that LSU did not have any pass rush to

994
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:45,839
Speaker 1: speak of, and he had plenty of time to throw

995
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 1: back there. But Miszoo is in a good place offensively,

996
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 1: the offense is there.

997
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 2: They when they want to be, when they care, when

998
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:58,440
Speaker 2: they're aggressive, Yeah, we saw it again though they had

999
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 2: opportunities in that second half. Yeah, to be aggressive against

1000
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 2: a soft LSU defense. Also, Harold Perkins is just incredible,

1001
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:08,520
Speaker 2: number two for two. Today is the day that Carson

1002
00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:12,720
Speaker 2: Beck became president. No, today is the day that Carson

1003
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 2: Beck became Georgia's quarterback. I firmly believe that against Kentucky

1004
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:22,320
Speaker 2: and this is a team that heard people rightfully questioning

1005
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:26,279
Speaker 2: where George's program was after some stagnant weeks, especially in

1006
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 2: the last week at Auburn, getting pushed around on the

1007
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 2: ground and they come out you talk about flashfirear North Carolina.

1008
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:36,359
Speaker 2: This game was fourteen to nothing, and that's happening in

1009
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:43,359
Speaker 2: the duration of like a medium sized poop tie. That's

1010
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:46,400
Speaker 2: happening if you're just like scrolling Instagram reels or TikTok

1011
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:50,040
Speaker 2: for a few minutes. Up, Nope, fourteen nothing Georgia. Carson

1012
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 2: Beck was incredible, Brock Bowers was incredible, The defense was incredible.

1013
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 2: I don't think I was all that high in Kentucky.

1014
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 2: I was less so after we did a deep dive

1015
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 2: on Kentucky on our Thursday team specific show on verballers

1016
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 2: dot Com. Go to verballers dot com and poke around.

1017
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:06,600
Speaker 1: Forballers dot com correct, thank you.

1018
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 2: Carson Beck would look so comfortable and his timing was great.

1019
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 2: He was protected really well. He was spreading the ball

1020
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:16,920
Speaker 2: around and I think you just you have to upgrade.

1021
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:20,360
Speaker 2: Maybe it's just Georgia woke the f up tonight, Maybe

1022
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 2: that's all it was. But with how confidently they were playing,

1023
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 2: it was great to see because I'm in need of

1024
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 2: excellence this season, desperately needing excellence, and it was great

1025
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:34,920
Speaker 2: to see it from uh from Georgia tonight.

1026
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 1: All right, what have we got? Number three, number.

1027
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 2: Three, number three, number three, number three, number three. How

1028
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:44,240
Speaker 2: about the Wyoming Cowboys not scoring in the second half

1029
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 2: and beating the ranked Mountain West, Fresno State Bulldogs at altitude. Yes,

1030
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:53,480
Speaker 2: there it is, of course. I mean Wyoming might be

1031
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:55,680
Speaker 2: really good. They were right there with Texas in the

1032
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 2: fourth quarter they beat Texas Tech. Now they're beating Fresno State,

1033
00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:03,759
Speaker 2: who was kind of owning that matchup. Andrew Peasley, just

1034
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 2: a playmaker. Defense came up big, made plays against Presno State.

1035
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 2: Mikey Keane gets rolled up, so Logan Fife has to

1036
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:12,879
Speaker 2: come in. They make a valiant effort, but Wyoming's able

1037
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 2: to hold on, scoring once again precisely zero points in

1038
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 2: the second half of an upset win at altitude. At altitude,

1039
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 2: don't forget at altitude. Number four, how about Dion Sanders,

1040
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 2: coach Prime Colorado on Deep Pac twelve network Deep Pack,

1041
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 2: Like it's the number three pack twelve Network team in

1042
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 2: the booth, shout out Jordan Kent. I like Jordan Kent

1043
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 2: a lot. Arizona State up on them moving the ball

1044
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 2: consistently against Colorado, because that's what you do. And we're

1045
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:49,000
Speaker 2: starting to see the tweets and the stories of like, Okay,

1046
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:51,920
Speaker 2: here's what's happening with the Colorado backfield right now. Seven

1047
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:57,080
Speaker 2: tackles for loss seventeen pressures, six sacks. First quarters almost over,

1048
00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:02,479
Speaker 2: and that was tonight, and Colorado was able to move

1049
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 2: the ball. Shore Sanders is able to make plays and

1050
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:08,719
Speaker 2: they hang on against an ASU team who does fight

1051
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:11,319
Speaker 2: very hard for Kenny Dillingham and this staff, especially because

1052
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:17,840
Speaker 2: it's the the Trenton Borge. Yeah, gay version of ASCU.

1053
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:21,080
Speaker 2: But good for CEU, good for coach Prime and his

1054
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:24,320
Speaker 2: golden headphones. I don't know if you saw that coming

1055
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 2: away with the win. A comeback out West, So that's

1056
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 2: number four. Number five is also a West Coast footprint comeback.

1057
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:35,240
Speaker 2: How about Boise State, ty oh Man, Boise State scoring

1058
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:39,399
Speaker 2: twenty eight unanswered in a winning effort over San Jose State,

1059
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 2: and it's Ashton Ginty the running back.

1060
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:44,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was a dude last week. He's good. I

1061
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:45,399
Speaker 1: told you he's really good.

1062
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:49,880
Speaker 2: He's very very good. And so they're they're they're switching

1063
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:53,719
Speaker 2: quarterbacks back and forth. Boise State getting it done. The

1064
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 2: Mountain West looks pretty open right now. Air Force in control.

1065
00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:02,239
Speaker 2: But right now that's my top five, mostly because it's

1066
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 2: still packed twelve after dark time. I mean, we still

1067
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:07,919
Speaker 2: have cal Oregon State. I believe in the fourth Port,

1068
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 2: Oregon State up seventeen and a bit of a shootout

1069
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 2: forty nine to thirty two USC five minutes left in

1070
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:18,960
Speaker 2: the third, has taken the lead against Arizona. Arizona was

1071
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:21,720
Speaker 2: up seventeen nothing. It's currently twenty one to twenty USC.

1072
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:26,839
Speaker 2: I like that, so and my fingers over here.

1073
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 1: I like that.

1074
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:29,600
Speaker 2: That's my top five right now. I mean, have there

1075
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:33,239
Speaker 2: are other other results, other games, anything that stands out

1076
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 2: to you.

1077
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 1: We got alerts, we got dood alerts.

1078
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:41,520
Speaker 2: We have dood alerts. Who are your dudes, Dan, It's

1079
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 2: not who my dudes are, Tie, It's who the people's dudes.

1080
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 1: Who are the people's dudes?

1081
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:48,720
Speaker 2: I'm pulling it up right now? Here we go, doodleer.

1082
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:52,040
Speaker 2: We've got Alex Hale, the entire Georgia Tech team, Mason Graham,

1083
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 2: Mario Cristobal's Shrink, Haines King, Eric All, which, by the way,

1084
00:56:57,120 --> 00:57:00,280
Speaker 2: Iowa over Purdue. I think Eric All had ninety sevan

1085
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:04,239
Speaker 2: of one hundred and ten possible receiving yards. Is match up,

1086
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 2: so good for good for Eric All, the Michigan transfer,

1087
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:10,960
Speaker 2: Tadge Brooks, Good for Texas Tech building the whole plane

1088
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:13,279
Speaker 2: out of Todje Brooks as they get their comfortable win

1089
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 2: over Baylor. Jawar Jordan for Louisville. So good, you've so good,

1090
00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 2: so got a lot of christ of all here Kansas

1091
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:24,480
Speaker 2: is offensive line. Did you see exactly how Kansas beat UCF?

1092
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 2: They won in my most favorite way and you described

1093
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 2: this a little bit with Boston College. They very quickly

1094
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 2: learned that UCF was just letting them glide to the

1095
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 2: end zone on the ground, like, what if we just

1096
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 2: run it? Ever? Just can we do that? Is that allowed?

1097
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 2: Can we just stop throwing? And they did. They just

1098
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 2: kept on running and they ran all over quite literally UCF.

1099
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 2: So good for the Kansas offensive line. Good for the

1100
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:53,200
Speaker 2: Kansas offense is they're going to become one of the

1101
00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 2: more entertaining second half of the year teams, I'm sure,

1102
00:57:56,960 --> 00:58:00,120
Speaker 2: given the sort of wide open nature of most the

1103
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 2: Big twelve.

1104
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 1: And we're gonna get to that in one second. One

1105
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:09,480
Speaker 1: other name here, Yes, Temple's EJ. Warner forty two of

1106
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:13,720
Speaker 1: sixty five for four seventy two and five touchdowns in

1107
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 1: a loss to UTSA at home. That is a tough

1108
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 1: pill too.

1109
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:22,120
Speaker 2: By the way, a couple other dudes, just while we're

1110
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 2: on the dude topic. Trey Benson. Trey Benson, Florida State.

1111
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:29,720
Speaker 2: They played Virginia Tech slow down eighteen point five, eighteen

1112
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 2: point two yards per rush. They get eighteen carries for

1113
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 2: two hundred yards. So Florida State got going on the ground.

1114
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 2: Jacob Zeno, you remember that name. Bayleory is now the

1115
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:42,560
Speaker 2: quarterback at UAB. They sliced and diced and shredded USF

1116
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:48,560
Speaker 2: So Trent Dilferd. Maybe his message on is resonating the

1117
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:50,840
Speaker 2: blazers of of UAB.

1118
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 1: So that's goods like the teacher and Charlie Brown.

1119
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:57,880
Speaker 2: Yes, he very much is. Okay, should we get into

1120
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,240
Speaker 2: some questions. Let's do a few questions. We say some

1121
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:00,840
Speaker 2: time for it.

1122
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 1: I want to ask you a bunch of questions.

1123
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 2: I want to have them answered immediately.

1124
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 1: Andrew on Twitter wants us to rank the Big twelve

1125
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:12,840
Speaker 1: teams outside of Texas and Oklahoma. Oh that's difficult. Okay,

1126
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:14,520
Speaker 1: we don't even got a ride of all. Let me

1127
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 1: ask you a better question. Rank three through five, three

1128
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:24,640
Speaker 1: through five in the Big twelve right now. Yeah, it's

1129
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 1: harder than you'd think.

1130
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:36,440
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna say West Virginia, Texas Tech, Kansas State

1131
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 2: with a little bit of a benefit of the doubt

1132
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 2: in there, I think is that crazy.

1133
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 1: I think you got to put Kansas State in there.

1134
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:45,959
Speaker 1: I think you have to put West Virginia in there.

1135
00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:48,760
Speaker 2: West Virginia beat Texas Tech if you feel better about

1136
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:53,000
Speaker 2: Texas Tech. Now that was Chuck getting hurt and Baron

1137
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:57,040
Speaker 2: Morton coming in. But like, do you want Kansas over

1138
00:59:57,520 --> 01:00:01,840
Speaker 2: Kansas State because they haven't lost in matchup? I would

1139
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 2: put BYU in there. You would put BYU. That's not unreasonable.

1140
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:09,080
Speaker 1: I think BYU if only on the power of their defense.

1141
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:12,040
Speaker 1: Their defense has been pretty good. Okay, I be inclined

1142
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:16,439
Speaker 1: to put BYU in there. The rest honestly from top

1143
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:20,200
Speaker 1: I think Houston's probably the worst. Houston's probably the worst.

1144
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 1: Right now.

1145
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:22,520
Speaker 2: You think Houston's worse than Baylor right now?

1146
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:25,320
Speaker 1: I think Houston's worst than Baylor. Yeah, okay, but I

1147
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:31,080
Speaker 1: think beyond that, and really you get outside of those

1148
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:33,680
Speaker 1: top two teams, which I do believe are a rung

1149
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:35,560
Speaker 1: above the rest and the Big Twelve. That does not

1150
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:37,960
Speaker 1: mean they won't lose to one of those other schools

1151
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:40,160
Speaker 1: in the Big Twelve. Because we've been watching Big Twelve

1152
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:42,360
Speaker 1: football long enough to know that that will happen the

1153
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:43,800
Speaker 1: deeper way go into the season.

1154
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:46,200
Speaker 2: Oh, we didn't mention Kansas. How do we not mention Kansas?

1155
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:48,800
Speaker 2: So Kansas? Why I said, should we swap Kansas in

1156
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:49,520
Speaker 2: for Kansas State?

1157
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:53,360
Speaker 1: Yeah? So Kansas definitely is. I think is one of

1158
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:55,640
Speaker 1: those three. One of those three Kansas, Kansas State. And

1159
01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 1: I would include either West Virginia or BYU and not

1160
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:01,040
Speaker 1: Texas Tech. Yeah, not Texas Tech.

1161
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:03,960
Speaker 2: I think I would have I would put Texas Tech

1162
01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 2: over Kansas right now, I think I would, but I

1163
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:08,160
Speaker 2: don't know.

1164
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:13,800
Speaker 1: Next question, next question from Mike Mike Mike on Instagram.

1165
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 1: If Iowa played with that, You're going to think I'm

1166
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 1: asking this question to be a jerk. I'm not.

1167
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:19,920
Speaker 2: It's a serious your question.

1168
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:21,919
Speaker 1: It's Mike, right, it's Mike, Mike Mike Mike Mike's question.

1169
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:26,280
Speaker 1: If Iowa played with no wide receivers, would the offense

1170
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:26,680
Speaker 1: be better?

1171
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 2: Yes, it would be better because you wouldn't have to

1172
01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 2: waste time and practice teaching receivers to run routes and

1173
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:38,200
Speaker 2: block on the out. You just fill it up with

1174
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:38,800
Speaker 2: tight ends.

1175
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:42,920
Speaker 1: If Iowa went full Navy, full Army, full Boston College

1176
01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:43,520
Speaker 1: and today.

1177
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:46,880
Speaker 2: Right, they just ran fourteen personnel or twenty three personnel

1178
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 2: or something like that all the time.

1179
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:52,680
Speaker 1: If they just did that, would they be better. They're

1180
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:54,680
Speaker 1: kind of already doing.

1181
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:56,720
Speaker 2: Well because of how disappointing their offensive line has looked

1182
01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 2: at times this year. They could certainly use more tight

1183
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:01,880
Speaker 2: ends on the field. I guess I think they lost

1184
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:05,840
Speaker 2: their best tight end in Luke Lache earlier in the year. Yeah,

1185
01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 2: you know what it would point to. It would point

1186
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 2: to a very specific vision and identity, which I don't

1187
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 2: think they have right now. And look, they've always wanted

1188
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:17,360
Speaker 2: to do this. They like if you were to give,

1189
01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 2: you know, a vat of truth serum to Kirk Farrence,

1190
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:24,360
Speaker 2: which is probably just regular coconsidered diet coke or something,

1191
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 2: then you are going to get an answer of like, yeah,

1192
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 2: let's build the whole team out of Sam Laporta or

1193
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:33,920
Speaker 2: whatever that's his dream. So, yes, they would be better

1194
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:36,120
Speaker 2: because they would have a very specific identity to play

1195
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:39,440
Speaker 2: to in the way that like service academies do or

1196
01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:40,240
Speaker 2: air raid teams.

1197
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 1: That's right, they would be very very specific. Iowa, by

1198
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:46,800
Speaker 1: the way, beat Perdue iowas five and one, albeit kind

1199
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:47,720
Speaker 1: of an ugly five to one.

1200
01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 2: They still do the reverse frosting is alive.

1201
01:02:50,240 --> 01:02:51,720
Speaker 1: Reverse frosting is alive.

1202
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:54,040
Speaker 2: Twenty to fourteen, Iowa wins.

1203
01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:58,120
Speaker 1: Final question on the Day Tom on Instagram, it is

1204
01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:01,200
Speaker 1: your top four after Week six?

1205
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:03,959
Speaker 2: Top four teams right now?

1206
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:07,479
Speaker 1: I think we go Michigan in Georgia in some order.

1207
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:09,960
Speaker 2: Michigan demolished Minnesota.

1208
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:12,720
Speaker 1: And Georgia demolished Kentucky. That was a quality win.

1209
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:13,920
Speaker 2: I agree.

1210
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:17,400
Speaker 1: Obviously Texas falls out of that equation. Texas was up

1211
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 1: there pretty high. The question is how good do you

1212
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:25,280
Speaker 1: feel about Oklahoma after that Texas win? And then what

1213
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:29,000
Speaker 1: about the rest of college football. We've got a slew

1214
01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:31,960
Speaker 1: of teams that you could make a pretty good case

1215
01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:33,200
Speaker 1: for them in that four slat.

1216
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:42,800
Speaker 2: Okay, I would it would be Georgia, Michigan, Oklahoma and

1217
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:43,880
Speaker 2: number four.

1218
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:46,920
Speaker 1: Man Washington.

1219
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:52,440
Speaker 2: I guess Washington. Yeah, I think it's got. Oregon had

1220
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:55,640
Speaker 2: their struggle on the road against Texas Tech. Florida State

1221
01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:58,560
Speaker 2: had their struggle on the road against Boston College. Ohio

1222
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:03,240
Speaker 2: State has had like halves of struggling, and the Indiana game,

1223
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:04,720
Speaker 2: even though it was Week one, that still was like

1224
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:09,320
Speaker 2: a weird, weird ride for me. USC's defenses not playoff worthy.

1225
01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:14,240
Speaker 2: Here's the wild like, do you put Alabama there?

1226
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:15,480
Speaker 1: Yet?

1227
01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:18,120
Speaker 2: You put Alabama ahead of Texas. I don't think you can.

1228
01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:19,000
Speaker 1: I don't think you can.

1229
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 2: So I'd probably do Georgia, Michigan, Oklahoma and Washington. Yeah,

1230
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:25,480
Speaker 2: I think.

1231
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 1: I think that's the move. And then that's the move.

1232
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:30,760
Speaker 1: I don't know how else you do it. It's going

1233
01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:32,560
Speaker 1: to get interesting, though. I mean again, I stand by

1234
01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:34,680
Speaker 1: what I said before. This could be the kind of

1235
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:39,160
Speaker 1: year where everybody loses. That being said, both our top

1236
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:43,320
Speaker 1: two teams in the form of Georgia and Michigan, were

1237
01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:49,080
Speaker 1: resounding victors in Week six. Yes, so unless something drastic changes,

1238
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:53,760
Speaker 1: that will probably remain the case throughout the duration of

1239
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:54,560
Speaker 1: the season. But we'll see.

1240
01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:57,840
Speaker 2: Unless unless they pull the Miami and just fumble it

1241
01:04:57,880 --> 01:05:01,280
Speaker 2: at an inopportune time, life, it could happen.

1242
01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:02,840
Speaker 1: You never know what could happen.

1243
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:08,320
Speaker 2: Clemson beat wake Forest by five, Northwestern beat Howard by

1244
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:14,000
Speaker 2: three on homecoming day, Navy beat North Texas, any other action,

1245
01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:19,840
Speaker 2: Rocky Lombardi and Northern Illinois destroyed Akron, Florida, You're Florida

1246
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:23,600
Speaker 2: Gators comfortably beat Vandy. Yep, anything tie, anything can I

1247
01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:28,320
Speaker 2: get anything from you, no other results. How about Lafayette

1248
01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:29,880
Speaker 2: taking it to Princeton twelve nine.

1249
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:34,280
Speaker 1: Dude, I'm winded from this, from this stretch of three weeks.

01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 1: I'm winded.

1254
01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:46,080
