32
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:41,679

00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 5: I mean, finns up hashtag fins up for sure for Arnie.

34
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 6: But what do you think about that? Today? Should we

35
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 6: make a programming change? What do you think?

36
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think we should. We should do on porpus.

37
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 4: You're welcome now listen. I think uh, I think we

38
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 4: should focus on the keep the the main thing, the

39
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 4: main thing today, and today is all about college football.

40
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 7: Man.

41
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 4: I am so dialed in. This is my favorite time

42
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 4: of the year. It is the best. Like people are

43
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 4: talking about their fantasy rosters. I had the best draft

44
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 4: of my life. People are getting excited for the NFL.

45
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 4: But it still sort of feels like a week away

46
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 4: where like, yeah, you're still in school before Christmas vacation,

47
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 4: Like that's that's kind of like the worst in between there.

48
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 4: But college football is here. I mean it's not even

49
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 4: the eve of we're waking. We're opening our presence in

50
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,839
Speaker 4: a couple of hours. Guys, Like, let's go.

51
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 8: TCU plays in like less than three hours against arguably

52
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 8: the most talked about team in the history of college

53
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 8: football that won one game last year. It is, it's

54
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 8: it's it's going to be an amazing season. And I

55
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 8: think when you look back on all the research and

56
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 8: all the analytics and all the nerds stuff, and you

57
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 8: throw it all out the window. Because when I sent

58
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 8: you guys the first so like last week, we did

59
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 8: our parlay and you know, we didn't have a whole

60
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 8: lot of we didn't have a whole lot of games

61
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 8: to pick from. This week it felt like, as Rich

62
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 8: alluded to Christmas, where I had all these amazing the menu,

63
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 8: it was like it was like a Ben McAdoo, you know,

64
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 8: diner menu of games that I could choose from. So

65
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 8: it felt it felt like the world was healing and

66
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 8: I could not be more excited.

67
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 5: It's funny, man, because Rich, what you're saying, it reminded

68
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 5: me of my girl. If we go on a hike,

69
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 5: or we went somewhere nature resqu or whatever.

70
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 6: Show I was posted these videos.

71
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I don't know who sings this song, but

72
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 5: it's like, this is the best part. This is the

73
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 5: best part. That's what it made me think of with

74
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 5: Ball being here. So I'll throw this to you guys.

75
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 5: Outside of your favorite team, which we know is the

76
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 5: Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Yeah, sure, it's absolutely. Richard definitely

77
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 5: wanted to go from Notre Dame. He resorted to Penn State.

78
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 5: We know how that went. Outside your favorite team, what

79
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 5: are you most interested in seeing?

80
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 6: This entire week?

81
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 4: One?

82
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 5: We still have today, We've got Sunday, we even have Monday.

83
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 5: So of all the games, all the storylines, all the angles,

84
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 5: what are you most interested in seeing?

85
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 4: You know what, It's a great question. I think I

86
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 4: think the thing that I'm most interested in seeing is

87
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 4: how much more prone these college offenses will be to

88
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 4: passing now because of the rule changes, with the clock stoppages.

89
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 4: It's it's different, Like I'm telling you from calling a

90
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 4: game last weekend, the game feels faster, slicker a little bit.

91
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 4: It feels a little bit more professional, which I don't

92
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 4: know if is a good thing or a bad thing

93
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 4: yet in terms of the gameplay at the college football level.

94
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 4: But I think more teams are going to look to

95
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 4: to throw the ball round because that's stop clock. That's

96
00:04:55,240 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 4: that clock doesn't stop on the first down anymore, and

97
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 4: budgeting time and doing those sort of things, and if

98
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 4: you have to, you know, hurry up and score nowadays,

99
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 4: like you're gonna have to be careful with the usage

100
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 4: of your tight end. So for some of these newer coaches, right,

101
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 4: you know a lot of coordinators ascending to head coach

102
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 4: coaches over the course of the past handful of years,

103
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 4: including this year, you got to see how these these

104
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 4: coaches handle that change. And so I'm excited to see

105
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 4: what the net overall reaction to that is. Is there

106
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 4: sloppier coaching, Are these games faster? I'm curious how this

107
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 4: impacts because, like we saw the rule changes in Major

108
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 4: League Baseball have an enormous impact on gameplay this year.

109
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 4: This is just one rule change, one really significant rule

110
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 4: change where the clock no longer stops on first downs.

111
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 4: I'm very curious to see what it does to the

112
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 4: rest of college football. As we had into this weekend.

113
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, unders were four and three last week, and the

114
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 8: data says there was about one and a half too

115
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 8: fewer plays than projected. So I don't want to say

116
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 8: huge impact, but I also don't want to look too

117
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 8: much into seven games. We will get a much bigger,

118
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 8: you know, set of data today to kind of chew into,

119
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 8: and I think, let's say, in three or four weeks,

120
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 8: I'll be able to, you know, sit up here and

121
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 8: tell you guys a definitive yes, this is having a

122
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 8: major impact or not having as big of an impact

123
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 8: as we expected.

124
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 7: Right now, it's it's too early to tell.

125
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 8: I think a big thing, too, is how do the

126
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 8: big because we're gonna have unlike the NFL, because these

127
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 8: are the same, pretty much the same rules as the

128
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 8: NFL in terms of the clock timing. I know, under

129
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,239
Speaker 8: two minutes in the first, you know, first half, second half,

130
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 8: under two minutes, we still get that clock stoppage on

131
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 8: a first down. But for the other fifty six minutes

132
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 8: of the game, it's basically NFL timing rules. And I'm

133
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 8: fascinated to see how some of the bigger underdogs play it,

134
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 8: because in the NFL, we don't get any thirty point

135
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:02,559
Speaker 8: underdogs like that try to shorten game dramatically. So will

136
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 8: the savvy coaches of let's say a team that's a

137
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 8: twenty four point underdog today, maybe like a Colorado, But

138
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 8: maybe that's a bad example because they're probably all gas,

139
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 8: no break. But is there going to be a team

140
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 8: that says, hey, listen, we might be able to really

141
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 8: slow this game down and take away a full possession

142
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 8: or two from the other team and give us a

143
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 8: better chance to win if we play incredibly conservative.

144
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 7: I don't know. I'm not sure.

145
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 8: There's going to be some very savvy coaches that find ways,

146
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 8: BELICHICKI in ways to kind of cut the corners and

147
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 8: take advantage of this rule to the best of their

148
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 8: team's ability. There are some really bright minds out there

149
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 8: in the country right now coaching this game, and it's

150
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 8: too early to tell what some of those maybe corner

151
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 8: cutting abilities will be.

152
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 7: But there's going to be some.

153
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 8: Interesting underdog situations where all of a sudden, you're like,

154
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 8: wait a minute, it was the first quarter. Now it's

155
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 8: all of a sudden, the third quarter, and this team

156
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 8: is still hanging around and the game gets short, and

157
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 8: we'll see.

158
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 7: I think the bigger underdog strategy is.

159
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 8: Going to be very interesting for me as we get

160
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 8: along with some of those really really huge.

161
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 7: Teams that are not expected to win.

162
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 5: Okay, you guys go both go macro, which is fine,

163
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 5: nothing wrong with that. I go Micro, I go I

164
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 5: zero in.

165
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 6: Okay.

166
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 5: Most interesting thing for me this weekend. It's a top

167
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 5: ten matchup, It's LSU, it's Florida State. I know it's

168
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 5: tomorrow night, but if you give me one TV and

169
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 5: one game to see, I gotta see that one. I

170
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 5: absolutely have to see that one soft launch for a

171
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 5: lot of the ranked teams playing some FCS opponents. So

172
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 5: when you give me LSU, Florida State and a dramatic

173
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 5: like rematch, right, there was a dramatic game last season,

174
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 5: so really interesting rematch with Brian Kelly and can he

175
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 5: get it done because he got absolutely clowned last season.

176
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 5: So I love the storylines going into that one where

177
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 5: LSU scores the game tying touchdown it seemed on the

178
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 5: final play the game, and then the extra point gets

179
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 5: blocked and they lose by one point. So that's the

180
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 5: backdrop of that game. I can't wait for that one.

181
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 5: How about this? To this point though, with all the

182
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 5: games that have been played, and there have been a

183
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 5: decent amount including Week zero, last week and the games

184
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 5: thus far, what has been the most interesting thing so

185
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 5: far this season. You guys are gonna say I'm homering

186
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 5: out here, but it's not just a Notre Dame thing.

187
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 5: I think with Sam Hartman being a real quarterback at

188
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 5: Notre Dame throwing four touchdown passes against Navy.

189
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 6: It's not just Notre Dame. It's their road.

190
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 5: When they play Clemson, when they play Ohio State, when

191
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 5: they play usc they're capable of winning one two. I

192
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 5: don't know about all three of those games, but let's

193
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 5: just say they win one or two of those games.

194
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 5: That could be enough to shake up the playoff race.

195
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 5: So Sam Hartman being a real player, which we knew,

196
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 5: but to see it live and living color in Ireland

197
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 5: last week, I think that's the most intriguing thing I've

198
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 5: seen thus far.

199
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 4: How about you, guys, Yeah, I agree with you. I

200
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 4: think Notre Dame they don't look so ancient and Rudy

201
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 4: esque when they have a quarterback who can throw the

202
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 4: ball around. Like last year Notre Dame, it felt like

203
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 4: I was I was watching snapshots from from the movie.

204
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 4: I thought people were going to take off their jerseys

205
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 4: and put it on coaches desk. It was it was,

206
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 4: but this year, it looks completely different. And look it

207
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 4: goes to show you now at the college football level,

208
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 4: the change has made its way to these ranks, and

209
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 4: the change is a quarterback changes everything for you. Like

210
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 4: it used to be, if you had a great running

211
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 4: back or a tandem of great running backs, it almost

212
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 4: didn't matter who your quarterback was. You could win a

213
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 4: lot of football games as long as you played some

214
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 4: good defense. Now you need a quarterback, and Sam Hartman

215
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 4: proves that with the Fighting Irish. Going back to your

216
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 4: original thought, on this weekend, if there's one game that

217
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 4: I could watch this entire weekend, it's the Tigers taking

218
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 4: on the Seminals. I think that game is going to

219
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 4: be absolutely outstanding. You have two Heisman candidates and Jordan

220
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 4: Travis and Jayden Daniels who are going to be, you know,

221
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 4: fighting it out now. Caleb Williams, I think is probably

222
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 4: clear cut the top of the heap right now. But

223
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 4: he's also already played, so I can't wait to see

224
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 4: this game. And also what a consequential game for so

225
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 4: many reasons to start your season with. I mean, this

226
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 4: is okay right now, you can say pretty comfortably with

227
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 4: only maybe Michigan Ohio State. On paper, this is the

228
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 4: biggest game of the college football season. Now again, things

229
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 4: can change, but with the information we have right now,

230
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 4: this is bonkers. I love it. I love the fact

231
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 4: they deserve the primetime they deserve to be standalone. The

232
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 4: world should watch this game. That is a fascinating scheduling

233
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 4: and I can't wait to watch it.

234
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 8: In terms of non conference I totally I think conference schedule.

235
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 8: I think LSU Bama might want a word down down

236
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 8: the road, especially if LSU wins this game. But it's

237
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 8: a weird non conference slate this year. We don't have

238
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 8: a ton of marquee games, but that's okay. I think

239
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 8: the conference schedule is really what we gear up for anyways,

240
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 8: and frankly, it gives us a chance to get to

241
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 8: know these teams a little bit, because unlike the NFL,

242
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 8: we don't get a really big preseason.

243
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 7: Though of anything.

244
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 8: I mean, it's just the curtain gets peeled back and

245
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 8: they start playing. You know, we don't get the press

246
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 8: conferences every day where guys come out and do their

247
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 8: spiel and the drama and the back and forth, and

248
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 8: in the NFL it's like every day for a month

249
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 8: until the season starts like I am rearing the go

250
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 8: already for the NFL because we just we've already had

251
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 8: it crammed down our throats for a month. Whereas college

252
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 8: football it's like boom, you wake up and there you go,

253
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 8: full slate of games and we have no idea.

254
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 7: What to expect from these teams.

255
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,719
Speaker 8: And when we get into this TCU Colorado game, it's

256
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 8: just a perfect example.

257
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 7: I think the North.

258
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 8: Carolina South Carolina game today has a bit of an

259
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 8: intrigue to me too, And I know we're gonna get

260
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 8: into that game later, but I think that's the best

261
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 8: quarterback matchup, you know, sneaky good quarterback matchup of the day.

262
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 8: I know Travis and Daniels is gonna probably be the

263
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 8: number one, but that is tomorrow. In terms of today,

264
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 8: I do like what I've seen from Drake May and

265
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 8: I don't know if he's got I don't know if

266
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 8: his team is gonna be good enough to win a

267
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 8: Heisman Trophy this year, because the team success.

268
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 7: Matters a lot. But these are two guys that are

269
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 7: very highly heralded.

270
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:47,599
Speaker 8: On the other side, Spencer Ratler and you know, you

271
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 8: got South Carolina carrying all that.

272
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 7: Mayo Bowl momentum into.

273
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 8: This year, so I'm fascinated to see how both of

274
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 8: those teams come out. I think North Carolina maybe has

275
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 8: a little bit more of an uphill battle offensively. South Carolina,

276
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 8: you know, you would think has some more dudes, especially

277
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 8: some of the transfer portal guys they got. But I

278
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 8: think that's a that's a fascinating game too. And I'll

279
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 8: give you an honorable mention one a game that was

280
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 8: a triple overtime matchup last year, A battle of Texas teams,

281
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 8: not the Longhorns, not the Red Raiders, but the Texas

282
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 8: San Antonio Houston battle UTSA against the Cougars. Another fascinating game.

283
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 8: I think that will determine some early bragging rights there

284
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 8: deep in the heart.

285
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 5: I think Jim Harbass said this, you know the Michigan

286
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 5: head coach where he said it's the biggest game until

287
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 5: the next biggest game.

288
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

289
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I think that we're always looking forward, like

290
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 5: what what Jared said. If we're looking at Bama and

291
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 5: LSU as we're getting ready for that game, it might

292
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 5: make Florida State LSU look like small potatoes because it's

293
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 5: the next biggest game.

294
00:14:59,240 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 7: Yeah.

295
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 5: But if We're at the end of the season and

296
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 5: we look back. Yeah, Florida State and LSU is still

297
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 5: I believe gonna be one of the biggest games of

298
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 5: the year.

299
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 6: It might be arguably the biggest.

300
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 5: You feel like you have to whisper that, but it's true.

301
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 5: Both those guys have firepower and have legitimate playoff hope.

302
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,080

325
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 5: So Deon Sanders coach primes his debut with Colorado today

326
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 5: in less than three hours. Here we're approaching two and

327
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 5: a half hours to kickoff against TCU, And there are

328
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 5: a couple of comments that coach Prime made this week

329
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 5: that they were interesting as.

330
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 6: I'm not welcoming that word culture.

331
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 5: That's all I heard when I was in Jackson culture culture, culture, culture, culture,

332
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 5: Now culture culture.

333
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 6: What the heck does that mean?

334
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 5: He went on to say, I don't think you gotta

335
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 5: have unity whatsoever.

336
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 6: You gotta have good players.

337
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 5: And so it's interesting with Deon Sanders because he's not

338
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 5: preaching a typical message and there can be value in

339
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 5: that but it's just interesting to me where I totally

340
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 5: get you have to have good players, but to say, ah,

341
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 5: who needs unity, that to me is more of like

342
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 5: a baseball perspective than a football perspective, because football is

343
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 5: the ultimate team game. So I just think it's interesting

344
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:48,239
Speaker 5: that Deon Sanders is not just thinking it, he's saying that.

345
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 5: And the debut today against TCU, as they're heavy underdogs.

346
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 5: What do you think about coach Primes talk about unity

347
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 5: versus good players and also the matchup today guys.

348
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 4: Well, well, first and foremost, let me just say I

349
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 4: love authenticity, and if there's something that I love about

350
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 4: Dion Sanders as a head coach, as a person, I

351
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 4: think he is fairly authentic, and I really do feel

352
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 4: like right now that may be what he believes. But

353
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 4: it's interesting that he is being this authentic and also

354
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 4: this objectively wrong. I mean objectively wrong. It's just not true.

355
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 4: You need culture in order to have an outstanding football season,

356
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 4: not just a good team like one season. You need

357
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 4: guys to like each other a little bit, You need

358
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 4: guys to fight for each other. There needs to be selflessness.

359
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 4: Deon Sanders, I think it is projecting a little bit

360
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 4: here because as a corner and an outstanding corner, that's

361
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 4: a position on the field where you can be a

362
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 4: little bit selfish, you can be a little bit self

363
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 4: concerned because it really is just you against their top receiver.

364
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 4: Let's see who's gonna win this basketball game under the hoop.

365
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 4: It does doesn't work when you're a head coach. That

366
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 4: messaging will not work with the Colorado Buffaloes if that's

367
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 4: honestly what he's telling them. Now. He may be telling

368
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 4: us one line, and he may be talking about this team,

369
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 4: about the brotherhood that's growing inside of the building, and

370
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 4: it's us against the world. Screw what anybody else thinks.

371
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 4: It's us against the world. So I mean, for the

372
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 4: Buff's sake, I hope that's the case. But that's a

373
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 4: bad sound clip because he's objectively one hundred percent wrong.

374
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

375
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 8: I think this is going to be the most volatile

376
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 8: team in college football this year.

377
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 7: And it's really hard.

378
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 8: And I've talked to a bunch of really smart people,

379
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 8: people way smarter than me, and I've asked them all

380
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 8: the same question, like.

381
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 7: What do we make it as Colorado team?

382
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 8: And I just they all give me a different answer

383
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 8: In fact, Tom Lougan Bill, who I think is a

384
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 8: pretty well respected recruiting analyst for a bigger network that

385
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 8: I won't name here on the show, but he said

386
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 8: that they have the worst roster in the FBS this week,

387
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 8: like recently, and I think that might be a little hyperbole,

388
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 8: but if you have very well respected analysts that are

389
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 8: on that side of the aisle, I mean, I'm hearing

390
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 8: some very positive things like shoud Or Sanders looks really good,

391
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 8: and you know, the athleticism is going to be just

392
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 8: much improved. They're going to have more playmakers this year.

393
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 8: They flip that kid from Notre Dame, Dylan Edwards, the

394
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 8: freshman running back.

395
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 7: Who's going to be just a speed demon. And the

396
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 7: talent is there.

397
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 8: But you have respected people in our college football ecosystem

398
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 8: calling this the worst roster in the entire FBS, which

399
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 8: again that's not just the Power five, that is all

400
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 8: of one hundred and thirty plus teams, and I don't

401
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 8: think that's true, but it just shows how the vast

402
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 8: range of opinions that are kind of falling on this team.

403
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 8: I don't think I've I can't recall it that's had

404
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 8: more variance with their preseason prognostications than this. The public

405
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 8: is eating it up. They're the most bet team in

406
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 8: almost every future's market. They're one of the bigger bets

407
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 8: today and usually week one. You don't see a lot

408
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 8: of big underdog bets usually week one, especially with these

409
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 8: you know, Michigan against East Carolina, Michigan's laying thirty thousand points,

410
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 8: like people will just lay the points with the big favorites.

411
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 8: Colorado's getting a little love today in the market, not overwhelmingly,

412
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 8: but people are betting a twenty one point underdog more

413
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 8: than they normally would week one because it's just it's exciting.

414
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 8: It draws people's eyeballs to this product. And I think

415
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 8: they're gonna have a have a better yet, let's say it,

416
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 8: I have a better ear than last year, which is

417
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 8: a very low bar to set, But I just I

418
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 8: don't know how good they could possibly be with some

419
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 8: of the roster deficiencies they have, especially in the secondary

420
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 8: and especially on the offensive line. And for TCU, they

421
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 8: lost a ton offensively, but that defense is pretty much

422
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 8: entirely back, and it was a defense last year that man,

423
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 8: they got knocked around in some really tough spots They've

424
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 8: had a whole eight months to sit and stew over

425
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 8: that Georgia game. JOGOLEESPI year two of this three three

426
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 8: five system, and I don't know if Colorado's offensive line

427
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 8: is going to be able to block them, and that

428
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 8: to me, is going to be the biggest factor in

429
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 8: this game.

430
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 5: Man, you talk about the revolving door of college football

431
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 5: in terms of talent and the changeover, there's not a

432
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 5: better example than this game today between Colorado and TCU.

433
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 5: We all know about Colorado they only have ten scholarship

434
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 5: players from last year's roster still.

435
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 6: With the team. They have eighty six new players.

436
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 5: That's crazy amount of turnover, something we've never seen in

437
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 5: the history of college football. And then you're talking about Jared.

438
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 5: You look at TCU. There's a new quarterback, there's a

439
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 5: top two running backs are different. They are three wide

440
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 5: receivers that were the leaders last season they're gone. They

441
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 5: have three offensive linemen they are gone. Like star cornerback,

442
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 5: he's gone. Like they have so much turnover as well.

443
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 5: So I'm really curious to see how this game plays

444
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 5: out Colorado TCU.

445
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 6: I'm also very interested to see.

446
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 5: How this update plays out because we have the one

447
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 5: and only Dan Bayer with us this morning.

448
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 6: Brought in the big dog reinforcements here.

449
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 9: What's going on through guys, Isaac Low and cron shoes

450
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 9: are very very difficult to fill, so I will try

451
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 9: to do my best. But it may be a TCU

452
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 9: Colorado situation here. You guys have talked about it coming

453
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 9: up at newon Eastern time. Coverage by the way, on

454
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 9: Fox starting in twenty nine minutes, so big new kickoff

455
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 9: getting going.

456
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 7: But I suggest listening to you guys.

457
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 9: Colorado and TCU one of a bunch of games coming

458
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 9: up at new and Eastern time. You also have number

459
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 9: two Michigan home to East Carolina. Remember in that game,

460
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 9: no Jim Harbass suspended for the game, so defensive coordinator

461
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 9: Jesse Minter will take over the head coaching duties. Late

462
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 9: last night, if you missed it, Stanford to Hawaii thirty

463
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 9: seven to twenty four. Brett McMurphy of the Action Network

00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 9: homered and Stola base Atlanta's now won five straight and

470
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 9: has taken the first two games of the series against

471
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 9: the Dodgers. We have a tie for the last wild

472
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 9: card in the NL. Padres dropped the Giants seven to three,

473
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 9: but the Diamondbacks they took care of the Orioles four

474
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 9: to two. So right now San Francisco and Arizona tied

475
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,679
Speaker 9: for that final playoff berth in the NL, while in

476
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 9: the American League, Blue Jays moved to in a game

477
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 9: and a half of Texas for the final wildcard by

478
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 9: outscoring the Rockies. Last night, Toronto wins thirteen to nine.

479
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 4: US Open.

480
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 9: If you missed it, second seed Novak Djokovic rallied from

481
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 9: two sets down to advance to the Round of sixteen

482
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 9: by beating las Lo Zeira in five sets. Coming up

483
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 9: at Newon Eastern Time today, top seed Carlos Alcarez plays

484
00:24:58,520 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 9: his third round match.

485
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 6: Fell Thank you Dan.

Speaker 5: discover dot com slash match. All right, fellas, So if

492
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,719
Speaker 5: you look at all of these new quarterbacks, speaking of

493
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 5: turnover and the revolving door in college football, you look

494
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 5: at the new quarterbacks with some of these top top

495
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 5: teams where you say, Georgia number one team in the country,

496
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 5: they have a new quarterback in Carson Beck, number three

497
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 5: team in the country, Kyle McCord. He gets the start

498
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 5: for Ohio State, number four, Alabama, Jalen Milroe. It was

499
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 5: just announced what yesterday? Yeah, Nick Saban finally told us

500
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 5: it was gonna be QB one. Three of the top

501
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 5: five teams have brand new qbs. You throw in Penn State,

502
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 5: you throw in Tennessee. You've got five of the top

503
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 5: twelve teams with brand new quarterbacks. Now, the supporting cast

504
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 5: matters a lot. You look at Ohio State in particular, CJ.

505
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 5: Stroud leaves he's the number two pick with the Houston Texans.

506
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 5: But you still have Marvin Harrison Junior, still have a

507
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 5: Mecca Buca, still have Julian Fleming. You still have first

508
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 5: round picks all over the place, so that helps ease

509
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 5: you win. It also helps being thirty plus point favorites

510
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 5: against IU, right, that does help. But there's just so

511
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 5: much riding not just today but throughout the season on

512
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 5: the shoulders of these brand new quarterbacks. I can't wait

513
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 5: to see how that storyline unfolds this season.

514
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you mentioned col McCord. With Ohio State taking

515
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 4: over for CJ. Stroud, there isn't a quarterback in college

516
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 4: football who inherits a better situation than him you mentioned

517
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 4: already with their two top receivers, but that receiving corps

518
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 4: is just littered with former top recruits out of high school.

519
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 4: He's gonna have options. Offensively, it's a solid offensive line,

520
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 4: as it is every single year. Ohio State, well, I

521
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 4: shouldn't say Ohio State, but McCord in terms of being

522
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 4: sort of having the flowery path to walk, I feel

523
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 4: like is in the cat bird seat when we look

524
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,719
Speaker 4: at this list of new quarterbacks, new faces in some

525
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 4: of these places.

526
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,719
Speaker 8: Yeah, Yeah, Alabama is an interesting one because they replace

527
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 8: both those I mean, you're talking about a ton of

528
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 8: change over there. Oc DC gone and Georgia oc gone.

529
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 8: Penn State's got some continuity at the coaching positions. Ohio

530
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 8: State's got some continuity at the coaching positions. So does Michigan,

531
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 8: although I guess not if you consider that Harball and

532
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 8: even the Actually that's gonna be the bigger thing about

533
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 8: Michigan today. I know that you know McCarthy's back and

534
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 8: that offense should be good, but it's not just Harball

535
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:57,199
Speaker 8: that's suspended today. It's also their offensive coordinator. So you

536
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 8: get two guys kind of running the ship and they'll

537
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 8: be fine. They're playing Eastern Michigan. They're a thirty five

538
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 8: point favorite, but it's just something to look out for,

539
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 8: especially because the total in that game is fifty two,

540
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 8: and you do not see a spread of thirty six

541
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 8: too often. With a total of fifty two, that is

542
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 8: a very tight gap between those two numbers. So sure

543
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 8: on more of Michigan's offensive coordinator. Again, I think that'll

544
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 8: be the bigger impact today. I think, and not to

545
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 8: you know, steer the ship to our beloved Pens and

546
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 8: any lions.

547
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 7: But I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it because

548
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,199
Speaker 7: this is this is what we do. And I don't know.

549
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 7: It's so can I do?

550
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 8: Is it a lar or alar? You would know rich

551
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 8: better than me. I've heard multiple pronunciations.

552
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm honestly, but I don't know. I was waiting

553
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 4: for you to say it, to be perfectly honest with you.

554
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 7: But isn't that.

555
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 4: I love week one of a season, especially when we're

556
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 4: talking about college football, because because this is the beautiful

557
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 4: thing of this game. This guy can go from also

558
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 4: ran at the quarterback position at Penn State to becoming

559
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 4: potentially and again I know, I'm getting way over my

560
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 4: skis like a Heisman hopeful. This stuff happens at the

561
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 4: college level. You never see it coming. You don't know

562
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 4: when it's coming, and and it's it's possible. Now. I look,

563
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 4: I we're talking about our alma mater, so I don't

564
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 4: want to go there.

565
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 8: But there's valid questions about him though there follow up.

566
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 8: He hasn't even been named the starter yet this week

567
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 8: he wasn't even name like James Franklin. They were pressing

568
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 8: him right in the you know, the early week press conference.

569
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 8: He's like, you know, he gave the whole Belichick run around,

570
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 8: like a yeah, we're talking.

571
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 7: Blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

572
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 8: He didn't name the starter. Does that concern you at all?

573
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 8: Or is that just smoking marriage?

574
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 4: It could be and he's done that in the past. Okay,

575
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 4: he's a little bit one of those Belichickian guys where

576
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 4: if there's gamemanship to be had by, you know, keeping

577
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 4: something close to your chest, then you're going to have

578
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 4: an opportunity. And we just got this in our ears?

579
00:29:58,680 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 4: Is it? Olur?

580
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 8: I mean, listen, he's only played like two games, so

581
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 8: I haven't heard a lot of game film on him.

582
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 8: And then and by the way, I have commentators pronunciations,

583
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 8: and trust.

584
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 4: Me, I know from experienced commentators sometimes get the backup

585
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 4: QB's name wrong and the pronunciation. So we'll find we'll

586
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 4: find out. What's beautiful about this is he's replacing a

587
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 4: guy and Sean Clifford, long term starter at Penn State,

588
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 4: who is a bit robotic, and I think this guy

589
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 4: is a bit more slippery oler allar whatever we end

590
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 4: up calling him this season?

591
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, all at me.

592
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 4: I think I think we're going to see a little

593
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 4: bit more improvisation. Now. He's not like a great scrambler,

594
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 4: you know, You're not gonna see him making plays like Dju,

595
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 4: but he's.

596
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 7: Going to be.

597
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 4: He's gonna be the one of these guys who can

598
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 4: have some escapability, keep his eyes trained downfield and make

599
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 4: some plays. And and like we know about Penn State,

600
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 4: so much of their reputation comes down to the great

601
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 4: defense and so much of the just linebacker. You so

602
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 4: much of it comes down to some of the great

603
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 4: running backs we've seen recently, like Sakwon Barkley. They haven't

604
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 4: had a quarterback that's really captivated yet, and this is

605
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 4: their next opportunity to see if they can take that

606
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 4: spin on the wheel like just about every other college

607
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 4: football program has recently.

608
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 6: Well that's the.

609
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 5: Thing, man, when you look at these new quarterbacks, it's

610
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 5: so much beyond just today. And I think about recent

611
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 5: playoff matchups where quarterbacks have made a huge impact. You

612
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 5: think about the last great playoff matchup we saw was

613
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 5: Georgia against CJ. Stroud and CJ. Stroud had a magnificent

614
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 5: game for Ohio State. Stetson Bennett had a great game

615
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 5: as well in a comeback effort. Yeah, if you don't

616
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 5: have your quarterbacks this year with these teams that are

617
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 5: in the top ten, top five, if their quarterbacks aren't

618
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 5: playmakers like that, it could do them in. It's not

619
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 5: necessarily a death sentence, but you go back two long ago,

620
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 5: think about Joe Burrow in LSU against Trevor Lawrence and Clemson.

621
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, like that's a heck of a quarterback matchup right there.

622
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 5: And just a couple of years prior, you had two

623
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 5: a tongue of Iloa taking over for Jalen Hurts. Yeah,

624
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 5: and both of those guys are doing their thing in

625
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 5: the NFL. So that's what I'm so curious about. If

626
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 5: it comes down to, Hey, Carson Beck, Hey Kyle McCord,

627
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 5: Hey Jalen Milroe, we're in this monstrous game. Maybe it's

628
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 5: before the playoff, maybe it's in the playoff. We need

629
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 5: you to be ultraspecial. Who's teams have the answer of, yes,

630
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 5: our guy can be ultra special.

631
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 6: That's what I need to find out.

632
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 4: Hmmm. Yeah, I mean I guess on its face just

633
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 4: because of the surrounding cast, and I would say McCord, right,

634
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 4: you know, just because he's gonna have playmakers. Look, part

635
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 4: of it is getting the ball to your playmakers and

636
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 4: having the ability to get the ball to your playmakers,

637
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 4: but also having those playmakers make plays and like Stetson

638
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 4: Bennett did with a Georgia offense, I mean ostensibly a

639
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 4: much better offense. Talking about all the pieces surrounding him

640
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 4: than he was at quarterback, it just sort of feels

641
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 4: like McCord's in that situation at Ohio State. Carson Beck,

642
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 4: I mean again, another guy who's kind of how would

643
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 4: I describe him? He's not flashy, right, He's just gonna

644
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 4: He's kind of almost like a carbon copy of Stetson Bennett.

645
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 4: They just had one just like him, and here comes

646
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 4: the next. And so yeah, I would say McCord is

647
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 4: probably in that situation where we may have some of

648
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 4: those moments, especially early this season, maybe with some of

649
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 4: these non conference games, where we go, oh wow, yeah

650
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 4: that makes sense. That looks like he's right where he

651
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 4: belongs doing the things that we got used to seeing

652
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 4: Stroud do.

653
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 8: Ton of offensive line, you know, and they have talents.

654
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 8: That's the thing with a lot of these teams is

655
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 8: I go back and look and see who team's lost

656
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 8: and how many starters are back, and then I'm thinking

657
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 8: to myself, man, what if one of those starters was.

658
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 7: Barely hanging on to his job and like the backup.

659
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,760
Speaker 8: Was a freshman on like you know, all American at

660
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 8: whatever high school he went to, and you know, you

661
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 8: just give him that opportunity and he runs with it.

662
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 8: It's impossible for me to analyze that roster at this state.

663
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,839
Speaker 8: That's why college football is so unique, because you can

664
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 8: get a team like TCU that was one hundred and

665
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 8: fifty two hundred to one last year and you can

666
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 8: get him into the College Football Playoff because there's just

667
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 8: it's really tough to analyze these offseason rosters because we

668
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 8: just don't know, unlike Michigan, where I kind of know

669
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 8: what I'm getting with JJ McCarthy and you know, like

670
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 8: and there's just you know, Florida State, I think, frankly,

671
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 8: I think Florida State and LSU, which goes back to

672
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 8: that game that we talked about as the game of

673
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 8: the week, perhaps the game of the year type candidate.

674
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 8: I think that's why that game is so unique because

675
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 8: we get so many returning key players from both of

676
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 8: those teams and we get the high profile game and

677
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 8: it's Week one and we're you know, so it's just

678
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 8: that's why there's a lot of excitement surrounding that game

679
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 8: because we know what Jordan Travis is, we know what

680
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 8: Jaydon Daniels is, and we think those teams are going

681
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 8: to project pretty high, Whereas there's a lot of variance

682
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 8: with an Ohio State or a Penn State or a

683
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 8: Georgia this year because the quarterback situation is so important

684
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 8: and it's just it's a big unknown.

685
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the thing, man is it can swing both ways.

686
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 5: We all know having great quarterback play is helpful. That

687
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:37,240
Speaker 5: helps quite a bit. It's not a prerequisite in college

688
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 5: football every single year. Sure you've got Alabama winning big

689
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 5: with Greg McElroy, you know what I mean, Like, yeah,

690
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 5: you don't have to have a top tier stud.

691
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 6: It helps.

692
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 5: But that's the question is which teams can say, hey,

693
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,720
Speaker 5: in spite of not having a top tier quarterback stud

694
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 5: we're still fine, right, Like, you have to see how

695
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 5: the season plays out to defend be able to say that,

696
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 5: because it's a guessing game at this point in college football,

697
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 5: it typically is season after season. All right, We've got

00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 6: A parlay plan. We expect only big things.

714
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 7: For me s week. All right, this week we are

715
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 7: so bad.

716
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 6: Let's go.

717
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,800
Speaker 8: We are so bad, guys, yes, real, so I could

718
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 8: not be more excited about this season with the we're

719
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 8: gonna hit one of.

720
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 7: These this year. We're gonna hit a big one. It's

721
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 7: gonna happen. Maybe it's today, who knows.

722
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 8: Let's start out and again these are all underdog money lines, and.

723
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 7: Then we put them all together into a big parlays too.

724
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 8: North Texas at home taking on col I think the

725
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 8: Me and Green are going to live up to their namesake.

726
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 8: This year, Phil Steels got him grated as the best

727
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 8: offensive line in the American Conference. I like the skill

728
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,439
Speaker 8: position group. Two running back wide receiver rooms are both deep.

729
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 8: They lose their QB Austin Anie. They replace them with

730
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 8: a ULM transfer Chandler Rodgers, who had some experience, started

731
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 8: two years with the Warhawks, and we love their head coach,

732
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 8: first year guy Eric Morris Guesserri was at last year

733
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 8: for the last four years incarnate word our favorite FCS program.

734
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 8: Now he takes over at North Texas. The weakness is

735
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 8: the defense. They're switching to a three three five, bring

736
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 8: in an Iowa State defensive coordinator that I think it

737
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:04,800
Speaker 8: might take some time to get up and running, but

738
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 8: cal they're upon it today. Not a ton of offense,

739
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 8: not a great quarterback situation. You get Sam Jackson, not

740
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 8: Samuel l but Sam Jackson from TCU transferring in more

741
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 8: of a dual threat.

742
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 3: Guy.

743
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 7: I hope the three to three.

744
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 8: Five kind of confuses him a little bit, and we're

745
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 8: seeing this number move towards. North Texas came off with

746
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 8: the key number of seven, So we'll take the mean

747
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 8: Green against cal Colorado State against Washington State, home game.

748
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 7: For the Rams today.

749
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 8: There are big dogs and they're a sneaky good Mountain

750
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 8: West team. There two under j Norvel, Phil Steeles got

751
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 8: impegged as one of the most improved offenses in the country.

752
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 8: They've got eighty percent of their production coming back, including

753
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 8: Troy Horton, who is an honorable mention All American last

754
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 8: year at receiver.

755
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 7: I think Washington State's going to be really good on offense.

756
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 8: Take nothing away cam Ward fantastic talent, but the defense

757
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 8: returns just five starters, and this is a tough road

758
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 8: to start the year again on the road in Fort Collins.

759
00:38:58,840 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 7: So we'll take Colorado State.

760
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 8: I don't want to get too much into this game

761
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 8: because we're gonna dive in later, but I'm going Florida

762
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 8: State on the money line against LSU again. I think

763
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:07,839
Speaker 8: the trench is a little better for the knowles than

764
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 8: I really like the depth Mike Nobel has across his

765
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 8: skill position group. So North Texas, Colorado State, Florida State

766
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 8: twenty six to one hundred bucks pays your twenty six hundred.

767
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:24,280
Speaker 6: All right, it's a biggin. Are you ready to witness quickness?

768
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 1: Great football fans, Welcome to the biggest tailgate party in

796
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 5: five LSU against number eight Florida State neutral site endeavor

797
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:01,280
Speaker 5: here in Orlando. That's tomorrow night, and you've got LSUS

798
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 5: two and a half point favorites here. Brian Kelly, I

799
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 5: just I rewind you know, I'm a notre dame HONK,

800
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 5: and I got love for BK. I got love for

801
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 5: BK over here, and he did a very good job

802
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 5: last season. You rewind to that first game they lose

803
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 5: against Florida State. They scored a touchdown on the final

804
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 5: play of the game, this dramatic eighty yard touchdown.

805
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 6: Drive actually ninety nine yards.

806
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:31,280
Speaker 5: They go all the way ninety nine yards, they score

807
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 5: at the very end, and then the extra point is blocked.

808
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,760
Speaker 5: They lose by one point, and it was open season

809
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 5: on Brian Kelly. Oh yeah, oh, he got clowned that

810
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:45,720
Speaker 5: take the l right, his fake accent and all that stuff.

811
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 5: And then you take a step back and you look

812
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 5: and you say they won ten games. They beat Alabama,

813
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:56,760
Speaker 5: they won the SEC West in year one for Brian

814
00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 5: Kelly at LSU, so expectations are very high this season.

815
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 5: And listen, I think they've got the firepower to do

816
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,720
Speaker 5: some major damage. But this is the first major step

817
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:09,839
Speaker 5: tomorrow night against Florida State.

818
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, this is a huge one, guys. And I look,

819
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 4: I'm I'm so happy that weak ones here. I'm just

820
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,919
Speaker 4: a little bit unhappy that we have to wait one

821
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 4: extra day to see this one, right, because this feels

822
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 4: like a Saturday night game. But okay, fine, make me wait.

823
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 4: I don't mind, I could wait. Jordan Travis obviously a

824
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 4: Heisman hopeful that Florida State offense. I'm high on Jordan Travis.

825
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 4: I think this is one of the brightest stars in

826
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 4: college football. And I think Florida State's football program is

827
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 4: a burgeoning success. It's really gonna come down to whether

828
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 4: or not he can foot the billing, and that's a

829
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,800
Speaker 4: lot of pressure. So I'm excited to see how they perform. Also,

830
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:58,280
Speaker 4: looking at LSU's past defense, hmm, there are some major

831
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 4: question marks in this secondary. They have an FCS transfer

832
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 4: that's going to be playing a lot, if not starting,

833
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 4: and playing the entire game against Florida State. Here, there's

834
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 4: some weaknesses on that defensive side that I'm sure Florida

835
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,839
Speaker 4: State is looking to take advantage of. So there are

836
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 4: some question marks here. I'm curious to see. I'm curious

837
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:23,359
Speaker 4: to say, see who wins that tilt, you know, if

838
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,320
Speaker 4: it's Travis in this offense, or if it's LSU getting

839
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 4: clever on defense to hide some of the liabilities.

840
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, the matchup I want to highlights in the trenches

841
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 8: as I normally do.

842
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 7: Right, It's one of my.

843
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 8: Favorite parts of college football to highlight because it's usually underappreciated, undervalued,

844
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,280
Speaker 8: but I think it has a big impact on the game.

845
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 8: So LSU's offensive line returns four starters, and they were

846
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,720
Speaker 8: in a very unique position last year, Will Campbell, Emery Jones,

847
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 8: a bookend set of true freshman tackles.

848
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 7: It was the first time in LSU.

849
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 8: History last year that they start and a pair of

850
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 8: freshmen at both tackle positions. Well, they get all that

851
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 8: production coming back. So LSU's offensive line I think is

852
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 8: going to be a strength of this team. And then

853
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 8: you get Florida State's defensive line, which we'll talk about.

854
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,320
Speaker 8: Penn State a little later in the show, and I

855
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 8: think that defensive front might be the best in football.

856
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 8: I think Florida States might be right there. So they

857
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,479
Speaker 8: bring two starters back off of defense that I thought

858
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 8: was pretty solid last year. But the three transfers they

859
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 8: brought in, all three of them have at least ten

860
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 8: games of experience at the highest FBS levels. You get

861
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 8: first team all Macdtackle, Braden Fiskey from Western Michigan, who

862
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 8: is an absolute rock star, one of the bigger transfer

863
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 8: portal gets for Florida State. Then they bring in Darrell

864
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 8: Jackson from Miami and Gilbert Edmand from South Carolina. I

865
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 8: mean there are dudes at every single position of Florida

866
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 8: State's defensive line. Now I'm excited to see how Jaden

867
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:51,720
Speaker 8: Daniels handles himself.

868
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 7: This is year two.

869
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 8: Last year in this spot, it was basically his first

870
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 8: real game and from what we saw last year was

871
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:00,720
Speaker 8: a lot of dink and donks in the A dot.

872
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 8: The average depth of target was was pretty close to

873
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 8: the line of scrimmage. Brian Kelly, from what we hear

874
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 8: in offseason, we don't get a lot of stuff from

875
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 8: you know, these camps, but what we hear is Jane Daniels,

876
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 8: much more comfortable in the offense, more aggressive, not just

877
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,399
Speaker 8: taking the low hanging fruit, but pushing the ball down

878
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,439
Speaker 8: the field. Well, will he be able to have time

879
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 8: to push the ball down the field with Florida State's

880
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 8: defensive line bearing in on him. I think that's a

881
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 8: big question. On the other side, I think Jordan Travis,

882
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 8: to me, is the guy that I would bet on

883
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 8: to win the Heisman right now if I had to

884
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:33,280
Speaker 8: make a bet today. The wide receiver group is absolutely loaded.

885
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:35,319
Speaker 8: We know about Johnny Wilson, he was there last year.

886
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 8: They bring in all big ten guy Keon Coleman from

887
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 8: Michigan State and this is a wide body six four

888
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 8: two fifteen. So you add him to this really talented

889
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 8: group of receivers, and I think Mike Norvel has just

890
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:50,720
Speaker 8: a litany of weapons. And I think we're gonna see

891
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 8: a little bit more. I guess a differential, you know,

892
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:55,839
Speaker 8: different different.

893
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 7: Kind of offense this year.

894
00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:00,359
Speaker 8: More options, more bells and whistles, more gadget it's more

895
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 8: gizmos for Jordan Travis to play with.

896
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 7: And you nailed it. Rich.

897
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 8: The defense for LSUS the weak link of all the

898
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 8: units here, especially in the secondary. As you mentioned, I

899
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 8: think they're good at linebacker. They bring in spates for

900
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 8: Morgan State stud Harold Perkins, absolute rockstar freshman last year.

901
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:17,399
Speaker 7: He should get better in year two.

902
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,319
Speaker 8: But the rest of the defense, I think, especially in

903
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 8: the secondary, as you mentioned, might be the weak link.

904
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 8: So Jordan Travis throwing it down the field to this

905
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:28,359
Speaker 8: talented wide receiver group, and can LSU establish the run

906
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 8: and keep Jayden and Daniels upright against this really good

907
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 8: Noles defensive front. Some really fascinating matchups all over the

908
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 8: field here.

909
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 7: You know.

910
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,360
Speaker 5: It's one of the things I love about college football

911
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 5: is we spend a lot of time and we're not

912
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 5: wrong talking about a lack of parody.

913
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,240
Speaker 6: We talk about the top teams.

914
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 5: And how it's the usual suspects and the College Football

915
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 5: Playoff or vuying for a national championship. It's like TCU

916
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 5: last year was a breath of fresh air, like Holy

917
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,239
Speaker 5: col This hardly ever happens where a team comes out

918
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 5: of nowhere, and its challenging. But I think Florida State

919
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 5: is a good example of how you can quickly turn

920
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 5: things around, maybe not to win a national championship, maybe

921
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 5: not even being in the playoff, but certainly the doorstep

922
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 5: of it. But think about Florida State where you go

923
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 5: back to twenty seventeen and just year by year their

924
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 5: record seven and six, five and seven, six and seven,

925
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:22,840
Speaker 5: weird COVID year was three and six, five and seven.

926
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:24,439
Speaker 6: Then last year ten and three.

927
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 5: We know under Willie Taggart it was a disaster, and

928
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 5: it didn't start off great under Mike Norvel, but ten

929
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 5: and three last year, and just the talent that you

930
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:36,800
Speaker 5: guys are speaking of, it's almost like it's like baseball

931
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 5: in a way if I feel like, if you're not

932
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 5: paying attention every day, a couple of weeks can go

933
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 5: by and you're like, what happened.

934
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:43,400
Speaker 6: To the Rangers?

935
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 7: You know? The Angels?

936
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I think the talent of a roster can

937
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 5: be like that, where I look at Florida State and

938
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 5: I'm like, sneaky bastards, you got talent all over the

939
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 5: place right here. So they have absolutely stockpiled the talent

940
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 5: on that roster. And kudos to Mike Norvel, He's done

941
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 5: a great job in that department.

942
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:03,399
Speaker 6: For sure.

943
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 4: I love that you brought that up because I think

944
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 4: a lot of people get lost in this idea that

945
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 4: football or baseball or any sport basketball, that players are static,

946
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,399
Speaker 4: Like we look at them one year and we go up,

947
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 4: that's what they are. They just stink And it's just

948
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 4: like no, no, guess what they don't. In fact, they

949
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:29,440
Speaker 4: don't stink because they're ay the best option on this

950
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:33,400
Speaker 4: football team or baseball team or wherever. So they they've

951
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 4: beat you know, the zillion to one odds to get

952
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:38,839
Speaker 4: there in the first place, and then oh, by the way,

953
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:42,439
Speaker 4: they have the opportunity now to get better every day.

954
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:47,280
Speaker 4: Like especially when you start doing evaluations on offensive lineman

955
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,320
Speaker 4: like I love this. I was like, well, their offensive

956
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 4: line stunk last year, so get ready for another season

957
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 4: of name the quarterback Matthew Stafford, get him banged up

958
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 4: this upcoming season, or staying in the college or at

959
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,879
Speaker 4: Jordan Travis may struggle early. It's like what whoa wha, wha, whoa,

960
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 4: whoa whoa. We're making assumptions based off of what we're

961
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:10,240
Speaker 4: making assumptions based off of Like these players all didn't

962
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 4: work their asses off during the offseason, didn't become closer

963
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 4: as a group, especially if they're young and inexperienced. One year,

964
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 4: if they're all returning starters, Well, they're probably the the

965
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 4: I mean just in terms of how general trends formed.

966
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 4: They're probably going to be better next season. And this

967
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:30,360
Speaker 4: is the same at every position. I'm not trying to

968
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 4: spotlight offensive line because I am one or used to

969
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:36,320
Speaker 4: be one. Like this is true at receiver, this is

970
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 4: true at tight end, this is true at quarterback. And

971
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 4: it drives me crazy when I'm reading some of these

972
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 4: preseason prospectuses from analysts who've been covering the game for

973
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 4: a long time and saying, yeah, cut from the same

974
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:49,840
Speaker 4: cloth as this guy looks like it's going to be

975
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 4: another long year. It's like, WHOA, how do you know that?

976
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 4: Because when when the lights go out in these stadiums

977
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 4: and these players get into their weight rooms or working

978
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 4: with their coaches during this bring or preseason practice, or

979
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 4: you know, out on their own watching film, they can

980
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:09,440
Speaker 4: get better. So my favorite part of Week zero college football,

981
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 4: Week one College football is that woe factor is that

982
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:16,360
Speaker 4: sometimes the lights go on behind the eyes and a

983
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 4: player becomes a playmaker. And that is the best part

984
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:20,720
Speaker 4: of this weekend.

985
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 8: I think you're describing Jordan Travis and Kane Daniels, what

986
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 8: you're describing yeah, two playmakers in this game. So the

987
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 8: number has been kind of hovering around that key number

988
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 8: of three with Florida State catching the full field goal.

989
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 8: Every time it gets to that, it gets bought down.

990
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 8: So that's your kind of dividing line right there.

991
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 7: I don't think we're.

992
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 8: Gonna see Florida's day plus three again, but if it

993
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 8: does get back up to plus three, you should bet

994
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:47,759
Speaker 8: that thing pretty darn quick because it's gonna get bought

995
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 8: off that number.

996
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:50,880
Speaker 7: And again, as we've discussed many times on the show.

997
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 8: If you three is the key number, especially in college football,

998
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 8: so be sure to keep an eye out for that.

999
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 8: But I this is this is a Florida State team

1000
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 8: that is a very dangerous team this year. And I

1001
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 8: think LSU is very dangerous as well. I think their

1002
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 8: schedule is a little bit tougher and they got to

1003
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 8: go to Tuscaloosa, and who knows, they might start zero

1004
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 8: to one here after this game. But Florida State's Florida

1005
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 8: State's got dudes. This is the best Florida State team

1006
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 8: we've seen in a long time, and I am interested

1007
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:24,320
Speaker 8: to see if they can retake the ACC crown from

1008
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:27,800
Speaker 8: the Kings. The Kings of the ACC to Clemson Tigers

1009
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 8: because to me, that and I don't know if they

1010
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 8: play each other year. I think they do, but if not,

1011
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 8: hopefully they will see each other in the a SEC

1012
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,839
Speaker 8: Championship game. But this is a Florida State team that

1013
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 8: deserves they deserve our attention because the roster is absolutely

1014
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 8: loaded in the trenches, offensive line, defensive line, and the

1015
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:46,760
Speaker 8: quarterback might be the Heisman.

1016
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 7: Front runner after a few weeks.

1017
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 8: If if that offensive line at USC camp block it

1018
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:53,319
Speaker 8: in front of Caleb Williams, because that's I think it'd

1019
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 8: be a big problem this year for them.

1020
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm going on a side rant on you guys here,

1021
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 5: but I think a lot of predictions are too tied

1022
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,319
Speaker 5: to what we just saw the season prior. Yep, you

1023
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 5: know total where If you think about a couple of

1024
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:11,879
Speaker 5: teams with big turnarounds last season, Washington they went from

1025
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:15,840
Speaker 5: four and eight to eleven and two under Kaylin de

1026
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:18,880
Speaker 5: Borie did a magnificent job with Michael Pennix Junior and company.

1027
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 5: Look at USC, Lincoln Riley goes over there, they get

1028
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 5: a big boost in the transfer portal and they go

1029
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:26,719
Speaker 5: from four and eight to eleven and three.

1030
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 6: It can happen.

1031
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:33,319
Speaker 5: But what you're often seeing is predictions tied too much

1032
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 5: to the season prior. You see that in the NFL

1033
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 5: all the time, all the season win totals. It's like, oh,

1034
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 5: this team went nine to eight, I could see him

1035
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:44,799
Speaker 5: at maybe ten and seven, maybe eight and nine. They're

1036
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 5: actually thirteen teams last season that had a at least

1037
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 5: a four win or loss difference from the season prior,

1038
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 5: meaning in twenty twenty one the record was such where

1039
00:52:57,120 --> 00:53:00,399
Speaker 5: they took a four game leap or a four game

1040
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 5: drop backward.

1041
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 6: Thirteen teams.

1042
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 7: I love that stack.

1043
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 4: I love that stack. And that is the volatility of

1044
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 4: college football too. It's not just in the NFL. NFL

1045
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 4: it's easier to wrap our heads around because it's a

1046
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 4: smaller base number. Right, we have thirty two teams to evaluate,

1047
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 4: So the numbers get really abstract because like, where do

1048
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:21,799
Speaker 4: we draw the line in college football? Like, are we

1049
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:24,360
Speaker 4: just gonna are we gonna try to do all the FBS?

1050
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 4: Good luck? Are we going to try to do just

1051
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 4: by conference by conference? Okay, even that's difficult because the

1052
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 4: ACC next year is eighteen teams eighteen I'd be like,

1053
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 4: what do we do. I mean, so, I'm with you.

1054
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 4: Both of you said it, and I'll parrot it and

1055
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:44,879
Speaker 4: echo it again like anybody who thinks, well, because what

1056
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 4: we saw in twenty twenty two was X, We're going

1057
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 4: to see X in twenty twenty three. You're wrong, You're wrong.

1058
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 4: These things aren't static. Players get better, Transfers come in

1059
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 4: and set a fire to a position group that wasn't there,

1060
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:04,080
Speaker 4: Coordinators get fired and hired. Head coaches learn how to

1061
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:09,239
Speaker 4: do things better. It's it is a constantly morphing landscape.

1062
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:13,920
Speaker 4: Oh and by the way, injuries, I mean injuries happen,

1063
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:16,399
Speaker 4: and not just injuries to your own team that could

1064
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:20,280
Speaker 4: affect you. How about injuries leading up to competitions against

1065
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 4: teams that you're gonna face. Like there are certain teams

1066
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:26,400
Speaker 4: that just step on the banana peel every single time,

1067
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 4: and there are certain teams who skate through unscathed. I

1068
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 4: don't understand that, but it happens sometimes. I've never been

1069
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 4: on a team with that much luck. But but that's

1070
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:39,720
Speaker 4: a big factor too. Oh. I mean, get me to nude,

1071
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 4: I take deep breath.

1072
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 7: Get that black shirt on your is tight.

1073
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,239
Speaker 8: It's tight around the neck of the chest area ch

1074
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:48,759
Speaker 8: You gotta loosen that thing up a little bit.

1075
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 4: There, just lost circulation.

1076
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:53,359
Speaker 7: It's a long season. Our burger is going.

1077
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:56,160
Speaker 8: It's like when they ask you to do wind sprints,

1078
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 8: It's like, all right, guys, we got ten wind sprints.

1079
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:03,320
Speaker 7: First wind sprint, Arnberger groes through the line into the stands,

1080
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 7: up the state anything, gay Rich we got nine more

1081
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:07,920
Speaker 7: win spurns. But we're ready to go.

1082
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:10,799
Speaker 4: All right. I was off the good ropes there. Yeah,

1083
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 4: I'll be okay, We're okay.

1084
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:13,799
Speaker 7: I don't even know where to go from here. I'll

1085
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 7: just pass it back to Brian and hopefully he can

1086
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:16,279
Speaker 7: get us back on track.

1087
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 5: Hey man, I think that we made our point clear there.

1088
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:23,400
Speaker 5: There is a lot There are a lot of changes

1089
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 5: from one year to the next. Not everything remains constant.

1090
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 5: So if it was a team with the good record

1091
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:31,040
Speaker 5: last year, they might fall flat on their face this

1092
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 5: season for a multitude of reasons.

1093
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:36,279
Speaker 7: Who is that teaing in reverse? Who's that team? Alabama?

1094
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:37,920
Speaker 6: Certainly not the Irish?

1095
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:42,280
Speaker 7: No, it's not notre name of starmin is it? Ohio State?

1096
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:44,280
Speaker 7: Is it? Is it? Michigan?

1097
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 4: Is it? I mean?

1098
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:47,359
Speaker 8: You know we have to start high right the top

1099
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 8: ten teams last year?

1100
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 4: Could it be Penn States?

1101
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 8: So they were to be fair, they were not like,

1102
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:55,920
Speaker 8: you know, no, a playoff team last year. But sure,

1103
00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 8: new quarterback. We know how to pronounce his name now,

1104
00:55:58,760 --> 00:55:59,480
Speaker 8: Drew Allen.

1105
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 5: Good, Drew Aller. That's right, Yeah, you know what, it's

1106
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:06,319
Speaker 5: one of these teams. It's listen, here's the deal. It's

1107
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 5: most likely going to be a team that we say,

1108
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 5: what really, that's just stupid, and it'll happen. It'll happen

1109
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 5: because like if you look at the top ten and

1110
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:18,880
Speaker 5: you try to pick a team that has a dramatic fall.

1111
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 6: Maybe you're comfortable saying like Washington.

1112
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 5: Maybe you're more comfortable saying Penn State than like Io

1113
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:27,319
Speaker 5: State or Alabama.

1114
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:30,759
Speaker 6: But hey man, you have rich just talk about it.

1115
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:34,120
Speaker 5: Major injuries or high expectations, you lose a game, you

1116
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 5: start pressing at snowballs, it's gonna happen. I just I

1117

1134
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:52,120
Speaker 5: I'm asking the Penn State brain trust if Penn State

1135
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 5: is in for a special year this season, but they

1136
00:57:56,640 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 5: might end up with three first round picks in next

1137
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:04,960
Speaker 5: year's NFL draft. That's a legitimate possibility. It makes me

1138
00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:07,640
Speaker 5: think of Jim Harbaugh, who has like twenty players who

1139
00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:10,919
Speaker 5: are supposedly gonna kind of get drafted next season where

1140
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:13,959
Speaker 5: I mean some of these projections take with the greatest salt,

1141
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 5: but Penn State literally has a chance to have three

1142
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 5: first round picks. They've got major talent. Is this the

1143
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:24,600
Speaker 5: year they put it together? Do they win the Big

1144
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 5: Ten this year? And again this is off the heels

1145
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:30,040
Speaker 5: of us talking about there are changes, believe it or not,

1146
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:33,280
Speaker 5: in college football, sometimes major changes from one season to

1147
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:36,760
Speaker 5: the next. So we're programmed to think Ohio State, Michigan,

1148
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 5: Ohio State, Michigan. Can we sneak in Penn State to

1149
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:42,920
Speaker 5: a Big Ten crown this season? How likely do you

1150
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:43,920
Speaker 5: guys think that is?

1151
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:46,800
Speaker 4: Well, you have to you have to at least have

1152
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:50,200
Speaker 4: them in the conversation preseason, because, just like we were

1153
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 4: talking about, nothing static things change. Teams get better, offensive lines,

1154
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:01,920
Speaker 4: gain experience, backfields improved of I mean Singleton and Allen

1155
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 4: out of this offensive backfield is one of the and

1156
00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:08,080
Speaker 4: I know it's an overused term, but dynamic duos that

1157
00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:10,400
Speaker 4: you're gonna have to keep your eyes on this season.

1158
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 4: I think they're gonna really help Drew Aller as this

1159
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 4: season continues on, and and you're gonna have a sophomore

1160
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,920
Speaker 4: getting his starts, getting his feet wet. You know that

1161
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:22,200
Speaker 4: the Nidney Lions are gonna be relying on the run

1162
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:25,080
Speaker 4: game to a greater or lesser extent to ease the

1163
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 4: burden for him, especially at first. So when you look

1164
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 4: at it, like, if you have to start a guy

1165
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:33,919
Speaker 4: for the first time, and he's young, and he's inexperienced

1166
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:36,440
Speaker 4: in all those things, how would you draw it up

1167
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:39,480
Speaker 4: to make it feel as comfy and cozy as possible

1168
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:42,320
Speaker 4: while being one of the top rated teams in the nation.

1169
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 4: Have that backfield, like have that backfield and have some

1170
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:50,200
Speaker 4: real true veterans upfront on the offensive line who can

1171
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:53,320
Speaker 4: who can make some run lanes and keep you clean,

1172
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:58,440
Speaker 4: and and that that's a prescription for success. So I'm

1173
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 4: pretty high on the Nitdney Lions. Obviously, again there's bias.

1174
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 4: Played for the team for five years. No, I'm not

1175
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:08,560
Speaker 4: a doctor. I just really liked it there in state college,

1176
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 4: so I stayed an extra year. But yeah, it's uh,

1177
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 4: it's it's to me. It's it's gonna be one of

1178
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 4: those seasons that we're gonna find out pretty early on

1179
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:22,640
Speaker 4: exactly where the ceiling is. I'm just I'm just hoping

1180
01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 4: and hopeful that it's going to be much higher than

1181
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:26,479
Speaker 4: a lot of people think.

1182
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, as I sit here in my Penn State number

1183
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:34,480
Speaker 8: one team national Championship shirt, which, by the way, I've

1184
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:36,560
Speaker 8: worn Penn State shirts now two weeks in a row,

1185
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 8: I will retire the Penn State shirts for a little.

1186
01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 6: I thought it was Oregon State last week.

1187
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:43,000
Speaker 7: It was Penn State two weeks ago.

1188
01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 8: Okay, So I've I'm two out of three, two out

1189
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:49,760
Speaker 8: of three of nitty line. But to be fair, I

1190
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:52,160
Speaker 8: have not gotten my shipment of new shirts yet, so

1191
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:56,160
Speaker 8: I'm waiting. You got just wait, I've got some unbelievable

1192
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:57,000
Speaker 8: throwback tease.

1193
01:00:57,280 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 6: So my irish like we does the actually is okay?

1194
01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:02,640
Speaker 7: I think one of them is.

1195
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:06,080
Speaker 8: I listen, I don't I don't discriminate. If it looks cool,

1196
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:08,800
Speaker 8: I don't care what team it is. I don't care

1197
01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 8: if I've rooted for that team.

1198
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:11,640
Speaker 7: I will buy it because I'm all about the threads.

1199
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 8: Speaking of threads, I think this defense is going to

1200
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 8: make some offenses hang by a thread this year.

1201
01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:21,520
Speaker 7: And that's where you have to start any time you're

1202
01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:22,479
Speaker 7: talking about Penn State.

1203
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 8: And I think when you when when we reflect back

1204
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:30,480
Speaker 8: on this season, obviously, the success of Drew Aler is

1205
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:32,919
Speaker 8: going to determine the win loss record of Penn State.

1206
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 8: That's just the way the quarterback position works. But regardless

1207
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:39,520
Speaker 8: of how good he is, Penn State will be in

1208
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 8: every game this year because of the defense. Now, can

1209
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:45,760
Speaker 8: Drew Aler make the play that wins them the game,

1210
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:48,680
Speaker 8: I think, or doesn't make the play that loses them

1211
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:50,400
Speaker 8: in the game. I think that is going to be

1212
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:53,959
Speaker 8: the the win loss barometer for Penn State because that's

1213
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:55,840
Speaker 8: as good of a defense, as good of you can

1214
01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 8: have the best defense on the planet. If your quarterback cannot,

1215
01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:00,880
Speaker 8: you know, execute, it doesn't matter.

1216
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:02,760
Speaker 7: So I think the.

1217
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:06,160
Speaker 8: Win loss record will be in Drew's hands and in

1218
01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 8: this offense's hands and how the offensive line protects for him,

1219
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:11,840
Speaker 8: and if there's a receiver that steps up.

1220
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 7: For the first time in a while. They don't have

1221
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:14,240
Speaker 7: an alpha in that room.

1222
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:16,680
Speaker 8: They brought in the cefast kid from Kent State, and

1223
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:19,120
Speaker 8: he hasn't looked great in camp. And this isn't the

1224
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 8: MAC anymore. This is the Big Ten. They've got a

1225
01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:24,520
Speaker 8: couple of holdovers from last year. Lambert Smith is the

1226
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:27,680
Speaker 8: best of the bunch, but not an alpha. The two

1227
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:29,920
Speaker 8: alphas are in the backfield, and as Rich alluded to,

1228
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:34,640
Speaker 8: that's how you make a quarterback comfortable. But again, the defense,

1229
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:37,439
Speaker 8: to me, is going to be the headline grabber week

1230
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 8: after week, as it normally is in state college. But

1231
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:46,040
Speaker 8: this defense is especially different because unlike prior defenses where

1232
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:49,800
Speaker 8: maybe it's one level, this is all three levels. Phil

1233
01:02:49,840 --> 01:02:53,200
Speaker 8: Steel has this as a top ten unit defensive line,

1234
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:56,600
Speaker 8: top ten linebacker unit, top ten secondary, not just top

1235
01:02:56,640 --> 01:02:58,760
Speaker 8: ten in the conference like top ten in the nation.

1236
01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 8: So the depth and the ability of them to keep

1237
01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:07,080
Speaker 8: good offenses from doing what they want to do is

1238
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:09,640
Speaker 8: going to give Penn State an opportunity to win every game.

1239
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:11,720
Speaker 7: I don't know if they're gonna because they have.

1240
01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 8: To go to Ohio State, which is tough, and they

1241
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:15,240
Speaker 8: get Michigan at home, and that defense has been really good.

1242
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:18,440
Speaker 8: We'll see what Drew can do against good defenses. But

1243
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:21,959
Speaker 8: Penn State's defense again will keep them in every game,

1244
01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:24,480
Speaker 8: and this offense will have an opportunity to win every

1245
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:26,400
Speaker 8: game because they're not gonna be giving up thirty forty

1246
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:28,720
Speaker 8: points with the unit they've got out there, with Manny

1247
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:29,520
Speaker 8: Diaz running it.

1248
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:34,240
Speaker 5: You guys know my feelings. I am the running backs

1249
01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:38,160
Speaker 5: unofficial agent. You know, it's gone too far. In the

1250
01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:41,960
Speaker 5: NFL where I get why the running back position is

1251
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:44,880
Speaker 5: not getting a lot of money, We understand those reasons

1252
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:48,560
Speaker 5: other positions are valued more, but devaluing the running back

1253
01:03:48,560 --> 01:03:51,520
Speaker 5: position goes beyond just the dollars and cents. Where the

1254
01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:55,080
Speaker 5: way it's talked about has gone too far, and in

1255
01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:59,040
Speaker 5: the NFL particular in particular, where it's gotten us into

1256
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:01,600
Speaker 5: this mindset of like, yeah, I shrug your shoulders whatever.

1257
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:04,320
Speaker 5: You can pick up me off the street and it's fine.

1258
01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:07,680
Speaker 5: I can replace Derek Henry, no problem. Like it's gone

1259
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:11,080
Speaker 5: too far. But as you put that back into college

1260
01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:15,880
Speaker 5: football terms, this is a running backs. A quarterback's best

1261
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:19,160
Speaker 5: friend is a strong running game. And you think about

1262
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:22,800
Speaker 5: last season, same conference, Think about what Blake Korum at

1263
01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 5: Michigan meant for JJ McCarthy and him getting more comfortable

1264
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:30,880
Speaker 5: and not having too much on his plate. So it

1265
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:33,640
Speaker 5: could be the same concept with Drew Aller at Penn

1266
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:36,520
Speaker 5: State where they're heavy favorites. They're twenty and a half

1267
01:04:36,560 --> 01:04:40,400
Speaker 5: point favorites against West Virginia today tonight, I should say

1268
01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:45,520
Speaker 5: on NBC Primetime seven thirty on the East coast. But

1269
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:50,320
Speaker 5: having a legitimate tag team in the backfield running back wise,

1270
01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:54,680
Speaker 5: that's huge for a young quarterback who's starting for the

1271
01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:55,400
Speaker 5: first time.

1272
01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:57,960
Speaker 6: So I just think that it's.

1273
01:04:57,840 --> 01:04:59,720
Speaker 5: A breadth of fresh air when we look at college

1274
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:02,360
Speaker 5: foot ball and we all know that running back can

1275
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:04,960
Speaker 5: make a big difference on a squad, especially for a

1276
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:07,840
Speaker 5: young quarterback. And it's something to keep in mind because

1277
01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:10,120
Speaker 5: I think this has been the off season of like, ah,

1278
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:12,320
Speaker 5: screw the running back position, who needs them?

1279
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:12,640
Speaker 4: What?

1280
01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:16,160
Speaker 5: What difference does it make? Look at college football, man,

1281
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:19,120
Speaker 5: and that is a completely different situation. I even think

1282
01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:22,560
Speaker 5: it's different in the NFL. But this is something that

1283
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:24,920
Speaker 5: we could all agree on. Hey, if you got a

1284
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:28,600
Speaker 5: rookie quarterback, you got a first time starter, Yeah, handing

1285
01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:29,080
Speaker 5: it off.

1286
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 4: I can do that.

1287
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:31,640
Speaker 6: I've been doing that since grade school.

1288
01:05:31,960 --> 01:05:35,960
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah. Well you know what's what's interesting about the

1289
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:41,320
Speaker 4: conversation around running backs. I've decided I decided my thought

1290
01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:44,880
Speaker 4: process on running backs. It's like saying like, yeah, okay,

1291
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 4: they're not all that valuable. Well neither are your pinkies.

1292
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:50,560
Speaker 4: Do you want someone to cut it off? Like, I'm

1293
01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 4: there is value, you know, yeah, you got you got

1294
01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:56,600
Speaker 4: eight other fingers, But it would be nice to have

1295
01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:59,760
Speaker 4: pinkies too. Yeah, And it's it's it's not like they

1296
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:02,480
Speaker 4: don't help you grip things. It's not like, you know,

1297
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:05,200
Speaker 4: when you have those four fingers on a fist, it

1298
01:06:05,240 --> 01:06:08,600
Speaker 4: doesn't help you a punch things like like there's there's

1299
01:06:08,640 --> 01:06:11,400
Speaker 4: a need for it, and there's no question it's.

1300
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:14,360
Speaker 6: Just playing guitar with your lack of pinky over there, good.

1301
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:16,960
Speaker 7: Luck shot, right, John Mayer over here.

1302
01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:20,919
Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's one of those things, man, where

1303
01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:24,360
Speaker 4: when we when we talk about running backs, Yeah, I

1304
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:29,120
Speaker 4: don't think there's enough respect. But also are there greater priorities. Sure,

1305
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:32,000
Speaker 4: but in the case of Blake Korum and JJ McCarthy,

1306
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:34,680
Speaker 4: in the case of Singleton and Allen in that backfield

1307
01:06:34,680 --> 01:06:38,240
Speaker 4: for Penn State and uh and all are when when

1308
01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:41,000
Speaker 4: we're gonna when we do the autopsy of the Michigan

1309
01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 4: twenty twenty two season recap and we say what did

1310
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:46,160
Speaker 4: they do right? What did they do wrong? Well, one

1311
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:48,920
Speaker 4: of the things they did right is they leaned into

1312
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:51,320
Speaker 4: the fact that they had a dominant defense and a

1313
01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:53,920
Speaker 4: great running game. And it was no it was no

1314
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:57,040
Speaker 4: fair dodging. They just said, hey, we're going to play

1315
01:06:57,120 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 4: to our specific abilities and talents, and if you can

1316
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:04,760
Speaker 4: stop the run, great well, then you most likely will

1317
01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:07,680
Speaker 4: beat us. But if you can't, you're gonna be in

1318
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 4: a four quarter dog fight with us. And I think

1319
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:13,440
Speaker 4: that's the comp I think that is the perfect camp.

1320
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:17,200
Speaker 4: If Penn State can do what Harbad did, if Franklin

1321
01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:19,720
Speaker 4: at Penn State can do it Harbad did in twenty

1322
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:24,280
Speaker 4: twenty two at Michigan with Korum and McCarthy and that defense,

1323
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:27,520
Speaker 4: it could be a very special year in Happy Valley.

1324
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:32,560
Speaker 8: I like that comp to Michigan last year. I think JJ.

1325
01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:36,760
Speaker 8: I think JJ. Frankly, I think Drew's got more passing

1326
01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:42,680
Speaker 8: talent than JJ, and I think the being a highly

1327
01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:46,160
Speaker 8: touted recruit makes it a little different, Whereas I actually

1328
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:47,880
Speaker 8: don't know if JJ was one of those guys, but

1329
01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:49,520
Speaker 8: Drew Allen was a number on quarterback coming out of

1330
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:53,480
Speaker 8: his class, and so the expectations are really high. This

1331
01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:55,520
Speaker 8: is gonna look a lot like an NFL offense this year.

1332
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:58,280
Speaker 8: It is, and I think the new rule changes with

1333
01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:01,160
Speaker 8: the clock is going to favor Pence. The defense running

1334
01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:03,560
Speaker 8: the ball shorten the game, especially when they play Ohio

1335
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:06,760
Speaker 8: State and they go to Columbus. So I think this

1336
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:10,080
Speaker 8: week might be touch and go for a few weeks,

1337
01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:12,760
Speaker 8: but man, that defense is going to be really good.

1338
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:15,160
Speaker 8: I think we're going to look back on this defense

1339
01:08:15,160 --> 01:08:18,160
Speaker 8: and say, wow, that was a historic type of unit.

1340
01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:19,719
Speaker 6: You know who else is really good?

1341
01:08:20,280 --> 01:08:24,000
Speaker 5: Who makes a lot of people say wow, that's Dan Byer, Yes,

1342
01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:25,519
Speaker 5: Stan Byer really good?

1343
01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 4: Oh wow?

1344
01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:27,559
Speaker 6: Factor? What's going on?

1345
01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:30,200
Speaker 9: I do feel like Colorado and being a hyped I

1346
01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:31,800
Speaker 9: you s Doi'll know if I can live up to it.

1347
01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:33,719
Speaker 4: You know what else is historic? Guys?

1348
01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:38,679
Speaker 9: Injury reports in college football game day availability reports coming

1349
01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:40,840

1350
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:43,840
Speaker 9: a little bit earlier. Cad McNamara expected to start for

1351
01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:46,960
Speaker 9: Iowa today. The quarterback's dealing with a quad injury, but

1352
01:08:47,080 --> 01:08:52,639
Speaker 9: he is listed as questionable on the game day availability report.

1353
01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:55,120
Speaker 9: So take some getting used to. But the Big Ten

01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:24,439
Speaker 5: What was it in the text thread somebody put out there,

01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:26,040
Speaker 5: the All Coast Conference.

1406
01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:30,519
Speaker 6: I did not come up with that, guys. I just

1407
01:11:30,520 --> 01:11:32,040
Speaker 6: wanted to let you know that was I got that from.

1408
01:11:32,080 --> 01:11:34,400
Speaker 7: So you came up with it in our thread?

1409
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:37,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, you came up with it, Thank you, thank you. Yeah,

1410
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:40,799
Speaker 6: in our thread. It's yeah, it's it's its own bubble

1411
01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:45,240
Speaker 6: right there. But enough of the conference realignment talk, right, Goodness?

1412
01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:47,639
Speaker 6: They even did this during week one.

1413
01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:51,160
Speaker 5: It's like, we got through all the stupid stuff and

1414
01:11:51,200 --> 01:11:54,320
Speaker 5: now it's time to party and we're still dealing with

1415
01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:54,920
Speaker 5: this stuff.

1416
01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:58,000
Speaker 6: Goodness, right, Do you guys feel the same way?

1417
01:11:58,479 --> 01:12:03,200
Speaker 4: Yeah? I look, I I feel I almost feel like

1418
01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:06,519
Speaker 4: a little bit numb towards this topic at this point.

1419
01:12:06,720 --> 01:12:11,760
Speaker 4: Like I remember the shock and awe that I was

1420
01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:14,760
Speaker 4: feeling when I saw USC and UCLA jumping to the

1421
01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:18,280
Speaker 4: Big ten. I was just like, wait what I actually

1422
01:12:18,439 --> 01:12:21,160
Speaker 4: I checked it on multiple different sources because it was

1423
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:24,320
Speaker 4: one of those tweets or those texts. I can't remember

1424
01:12:24,360 --> 01:12:26,040
Speaker 4: if somebody text me or if I read a tweet

1425
01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:28,760
Speaker 4: at first or whatever it was direct message, I was like, no,

1426
01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:32,040
Speaker 4: this is not real. So now I'm scouring the web

1427
01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:34,720
Speaker 4: for you know, different people who I trust more than

1428
01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:36,720
Speaker 4: where I initially heard it from, Like, no, it is

1429
01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:39,840
Speaker 4: absolutely real. UCLA and USC are going to be in

1430
01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:42,519
Speaker 4: the Big ten in twenty twenty four. Up is down,

1431
01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:47,599
Speaker 4: Reality is fake. What's happened. But this is the new normal.

1432
01:12:47,760 --> 01:12:51,080
Speaker 4: The new normal is to be somewhat surprised by the

1433
01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:55,520
Speaker 4: things that you're reading. So, yeah, the Atlantic Coast Conference

1434
01:12:56,000 --> 01:13:00,240
Speaker 4: is going to include two teams on the Western seaboard

1435
01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:06,640
Speaker 4: and one from Texas. Welcome to twenty twenty three college football.

1436
01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:11,759
Speaker 4: It doesn't make sense. Maybe it will someday soon. I

1437
01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:15,560
Speaker 4: have my doubts, but I'm just gonna go ahead and

1438
01:13:15,680 --> 01:13:18,200
Speaker 4: let the big man take the wheel on this. I

1439
01:13:18,360 --> 01:13:21,840
Speaker 4: no longer think this sort of feels like This is

1440
01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:25,600
Speaker 4: what conference realignment feels like. Feels like you boarded a

1441
01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:28,400
Speaker 4: plane and the pilot took the plane into the air

1442
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:31,840
Speaker 4: and he said, you know what, we're not going to

1443
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:35,719
Speaker 4: our scheduled destination, and I'm not one hundred percent sure

1444
01:13:35,800 --> 01:13:38,439
Speaker 4: where we're going, but we're gonna have a whole lot

1445
01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:40,880
Speaker 4: of fun on this plane and then the beverage cart

1446
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:43,360
Speaker 4: just starts coming up and down the roads, and everybody

1447
01:13:43,400 --> 01:13:45,439
Speaker 4: seems fine with it. You know, there's some people who

1448
01:13:45,439 --> 01:13:47,920
Speaker 4: are a little nervous. There are definitely some people who are

1449
01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:51,559
Speaker 4: wish that we were back where we started. But there's

1450
01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:54,759
Speaker 4: curiosity where the destination is. And I don't think anybody

1451
01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:57,080
Speaker 4: really knows where this plane's landing yet.

1452
01:13:57,840 --> 01:14:01,519
Speaker 8: I've been saying this for months, and maybe one day

1453
01:14:01,560 --> 01:14:03,320
Speaker 8: I'll be commissioner of college football.

1454
01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:05,479
Speaker 7: Could we just get rid of the conferences already? It's

1455
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:09,200
Speaker 7: it's it's it's enough. We don't need them. We don't

1456
01:14:09,240 --> 01:14:09,799
Speaker 7: need them.

1457
01:14:11,080 --> 01:14:15,760
Speaker 8: There's plenty of opportunities to group these teams into the

1458
01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:20,960
Speaker 8: rightful places without having a conference commissioner take a tour

1459
01:14:21,120 --> 01:14:24,720
Speaker 8: of the entire like it's just it feels like it's

1460
01:14:24,760 --> 01:14:28,320
Speaker 8: all pomp and circumstance and there's no substance behind it anymore.

1461
01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:32,799
Speaker 8: The conferences don't mean anything. It's all a money grab,

1462
01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:36,800
Speaker 8: it's all for ego, it's all a power trip. It's

1463
01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:41,120
Speaker 8: not in the best interests of the college football product.

1464
01:14:41,920 --> 01:14:44,840
Speaker 8: And I don't have the right answer, which is why

1465
01:14:44,880 --> 01:14:47,120
Speaker 8: I'm not going to stand on the soapbox and you know,

1466
01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:49,120
Speaker 8: talk about what it should be.

1467
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:51,680
Speaker 7: I think I know what I want it to be.

1468
01:14:52,160 --> 01:14:55,520
Speaker 8: But I don't think it's possible to do a relegation

1469
01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:58,800
Speaker 8: type system where we have a group of thirty to

1470
01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:01,800
Speaker 8: forty teams and then we you know, teams can get

1471
01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:03,000
Speaker 8: in or out of the you.

1472
01:15:02,920 --> 01:15:04,520
Speaker 7: Know, championship subdivision.

1473
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:09,640
Speaker 8: But it's just the current model clearly is broken and

1474
01:15:09,680 --> 01:15:15,040
Speaker 8: it's continuing to deteriorate into nothingness until Lake itv oporates.

1475
01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:18,439
Speaker 5: Wellt's buckle up because there's just more coming with It's

1476
01:15:18,439 --> 01:15:22,400
Speaker 5: not gonna happen. Yeah, when calin Stanford and SMU go

1477
01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:26,600
Speaker 5: to the the ACC and you had North Carolina, Clemson

1478
01:15:26,760 --> 01:15:31,000
Speaker 5: and Florida State vote against it, that tells you you're

1479
01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:34,880
Speaker 5: got alignment coming around the corner. But hey, that's for

1480
01:15:34,960 --> 01:15:38,360
Speaker 5: another day. We're worried about today and this weekend because

1481
01:15:38,479 --> 01:15:41,719

Speaker 6: Let's dive into this.

1504
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:50,080
Speaker 3: In game thirt eight.

1505
01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:56,120
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, we're looking for in game possibilities. No, I'll

1506
01:16:56,160 --> 01:16:57,679
Speaker 5: be honest with you, guys, this might be a waste

1507
01:16:57,680 --> 01:16:59,800
Speaker 5: of your time with the advice I'm giving you right

1508
01:16:59,840 --> 01:17:03,200
Speaker 5: here might be, But should the opportunity present itself, be

1509
01:17:03,240 --> 01:17:06,320
Speaker 5: right at a pounds. I'm looking at North Carolina against

1510
01:17:06,320 --> 01:17:09,280
Speaker 5: South Carolina. The total is sixty three and a half.

1511
01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:10,759
Speaker 6: That is a high total.

1512
01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:15,080
Speaker 5: Some of these games get off to slow starts. Think

1513
01:17:15,240 --> 01:17:18,799
Speaker 5: Louisville Georgia Tech last night. No points are being scored.

1514
01:17:18,920 --> 01:17:22,160
Speaker 5: The total is just dwindling, dwindling, dwindling, and then points

1515
01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:26,040
Speaker 5: points points points. Keep that in mind with North Carolina

1516
01:17:26,120 --> 01:17:28,360
Speaker 5: South Carolina. If it gets off to a slower start,

1517
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:30,760
Speaker 5: you might get the total at a better price if

1518
01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:31,559
Speaker 5: you like the over.

1519
01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:33,799
Speaker 6: That's my in game advice for you guys.

1520
01:17:33,800 --> 01:17:38,840
Speaker 4: Oh wow, okay. I love Penn State obviously minus the

1521
01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:41,840
Speaker 4: twenty one and a half that they're getting leading into

1522
01:17:41,880 --> 01:17:42,360
Speaker 4: this game.

1523
01:17:42,640 --> 01:17:44,760
Speaker 7: But if this is a little.

1524
01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:47,559
Speaker 4: Bit of a dog dogfight in the first half, I'd

1525
01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:50,479
Speaker 4: be very wary if you haven't put any wagers on

1526
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:54,080
Speaker 4: it early to put on put it on the favorite

1527
01:17:54,439 --> 01:17:58,160
Speaker 4: for the second half if that total comes down. I

1528
01:17:58,360 --> 01:18:02,639
Speaker 4: like the West Virginia Mountain Mears covering again if it's

1529
01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:04,679
Speaker 4: a close game, because I think they'll be a little

1530
01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:08,360
Speaker 4: bit protective. And now again on the outset, I think

1531
01:18:08,439 --> 01:18:11,840
Speaker 4: they're going to go through the Mountaineers defense like Swiss cheese.

1532
01:18:11,880 --> 01:18:14,160
Speaker 4: But yeah, that's my in game advice to you. If

1533
01:18:14,160 --> 01:18:18,559
Speaker 4: it's close game, Mountaineers, bet the dog there right.

1534
01:18:18,439 --> 01:18:20,680
Speaker 8: Out of the gate TCU Colorado, this game could get

1535
01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:23,160
Speaker 8: out of hand. And if it does get out of hand,

1536
01:18:23,439 --> 01:18:25,559
Speaker 8: I don't think TCU is going to care to stop

1537
01:18:25,560 --> 01:18:27,720
Speaker 8: scoring because coach Brimes talked a lot of smack and

1538
01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:30,559
Speaker 8: let's be honest, the last game tcu've played, they were

1539
01:18:30,600 --> 01:18:32,879
Speaker 8: on the wrong end of one of those hillasious blowouts

1540
01:18:32,920 --> 01:18:34,439
Speaker 8: and I could see it going the other way today.

1541
01:18:34,439 --> 01:18:39,200
Speaker 8: If Colorado upfront is not ready for what TCU.

1542
01:18:38,800 --> 01:18:40,840
Speaker 7: Is going to bring defensively, I like it.

1543
01:18:41,840 --> 01:18:45,639
Speaker 5: I will get trendy coming up next, also, will big

1544
01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:48,320
Speaker 5: changes lead to a big turnaround?

1545
01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:49,479
Speaker 6: Lots of business.

1546
01:18:49,479 --> 01:18:52,080

Speaker 3: No, we're lyve from your tail game.

1559
01:19:30,080 --> 01:19:34,120

01:19:42,160 --> 01:19:46,000
Speaker 5: here the first major Saturday of the college football season.

1563
01:19:46,040 --> 01:19:47,200
Speaker 6: It is a beautiful thing.

1564
01:19:47,439 --> 01:19:52,479
Speaker 5: Bet MGM is now available under one wallet and select states.

1565
01:19:52,479 --> 01:19:55,280
Speaker 5: For example, if you are in the DMV area, no

1566
01:19:55,400 --> 01:19:58,520
Speaker 5: need to worry about making separate accounts for DC, Maryland

1567
01:19:58,560 --> 01:19:59,600
Speaker 5: and Virginia.

1568
01:19:59,280 --> 01:20:00,519
Speaker 6: When crossing's order.

1569
01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:04,680
Speaker 5: Simply just log on to your existing account instead of

1570
01:20:04,720 --> 01:20:07,719
Speaker 5: creating a new one. Very nice, very nice progress right there.

1571
01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:10,200
Speaker 5: Bet MGM doing big things.

1572
01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:12,000
Speaker 6: Okay, let's dive into this matchup.

1573
01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:15,720
Speaker 2: No KCC matchup of the day.

1574
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:20,720
Speaker 5: Okay, so we don't have to wait until tomorrow, we

1575
01:20:20,840 --> 01:20:24,360
Speaker 5: have to wait until Monday, until two.

1576
01:20:24,240 --> 01:20:24,800
Speaker 6: Days from now.

1577
01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:28,680
Speaker 5: But it is a huge acc matchup number nine Clemson

1578
01:20:29,360 --> 01:20:34,080
Speaker 5: against Duke Clemson. You gotta lay thirteen on the road

1579
01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:38,880
Speaker 5: for the Tigers here, but new look, new offensive coordinator

1580
01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:41,400
Speaker 5: Garrett Riley, he takes over.

1581
01:20:41,479 --> 01:20:43,639
Speaker 6: Of course, we know the struggles last season.

1582
01:20:44,200 --> 01:20:45,920
Speaker 5: A lot of it had to do with dj Ui

1583
01:20:46,040 --> 01:20:50,599
Speaker 5: Ungla Lay not playing good football. Kate Klepnik took over.

1584
01:20:51,360 --> 01:20:54,960
Speaker 5: He's the guy now. So this new look Gary Riley

1585
01:20:55,120 --> 01:20:58,760
Speaker 5: led offense could lead to a big turnaround. It's funny too,

1586
01:20:58,800 --> 01:21:01,479
Speaker 5: because we talk about like they were six and seven,

1587
01:21:02,160 --> 01:21:05,439
Speaker 5: they were eleven and three. But the losses really stand out.

1588
01:21:05,439 --> 01:21:09,000
Speaker 5: They got man handled by the Irish, disappointing loss against

1589
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:10,799
Speaker 5: South Carolina, and then they lost.

1590
01:21:10,560 --> 01:21:11,200
Speaker 6: In the bowl game.

1591
01:21:11,240 --> 01:21:14,200
Speaker 5: They got worked by Tennessee. But that's when you know

1592
01:21:14,240 --> 01:21:17,240
Speaker 5: you've arrived. We're like, man, I know Clemson and they

1593
01:21:17,240 --> 01:21:20,879
Speaker 5: won eleven games. I know the ACC isn't the stiffest

1594
01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:24,080
Speaker 5: of competition, but that's when you've arrived. When you can

1595
01:21:24,120 --> 01:21:27,559
Speaker 5: have a down eleven in year season, eleven and three season,

1596
01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:29,280
Speaker 5: that's what Clemson had last year.

1597
01:21:29,560 --> 01:21:33,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think this one comes down to quite simply,

1598
01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:39,519
Speaker 4: if Klebnick shows up. I mean, if this offense shows

1599
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:43,880
Speaker 4: out with Riley and ship Lee, and if if even if,

1600
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:48,879
Speaker 4: if it's just a serviceable performance by this Clemson offense,

1601
01:21:48,920 --> 01:21:51,080
Speaker 4: I think they sail to victory. I don't think there's

1602
01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:54,559
Speaker 4: any question about that. But yeah, I think the interest

1603
01:21:54,680 --> 01:21:57,640
Speaker 4: here for me, specifically with Clemson is going to be

1604
01:21:58,120 --> 01:22:00,920
Speaker 4: how the season goes and I think think, just like

1605
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:03,640
Speaker 4: you were talking about earlier in the show, Brian, the

1606
01:22:03,720 --> 01:22:08,160
Speaker 4: expectations on LSU when Brian Kelly took over, the expectation

1607
01:22:08,320 --> 01:22:13,360
Speaker 4: on Clemson really booying an entire conference for years as

1608
01:22:13,360 --> 01:22:17,640
Speaker 4: they were a standalone before Florida State's renovation, and some

1609
01:22:17,680 --> 01:22:20,080
Speaker 4: of the things that we've seen more recently, how the

1610
01:22:20,160 --> 01:22:23,040
Speaker 4: expectations are so high that unless they're playing for a

1611
01:22:23,120 --> 01:22:27,080
Speaker 4: CFP semi final, people are going to be disappointed. So

1612
01:22:27,080 --> 01:22:29,479
Speaker 4: we'll see how the rest season goes. But I just

1613
01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:32,960
Speaker 4: expect to see, you know, some hiccups here and there offensively,

1614
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:37,880
Speaker 4: but if Klubnik is at very least serviceable, this will

1615
01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:40,000
Speaker 4: be an easy win for the Tigers.

1616
01:22:40,360 --> 01:22:42,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, we haven't seen a ton of movement here. Total

1617
01:22:42,200 --> 01:22:45,680
Speaker 8: has gone down a little bit. But Riley Leonard I

1618
01:22:45,680 --> 01:22:48,400
Speaker 8: think is you know, maybe the best quarterback in his game.

1619
01:22:49,439 --> 01:22:51,320
Speaker 7: I would say one of the more underrated fasters in

1620
01:22:51,360 --> 01:22:52,200
Speaker 7: the country. Last year.

1621
01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:54,720
Speaker 8: He also led Duke in rushing touchdowns, so he's got

1622
01:22:54,760 --> 01:22:57,360
Speaker 8: this got a little giddy up with his legs as well.

1623
01:22:57,400 --> 01:22:59,080
Speaker 8: In the irony is he wasn't even the favorite to

1624
01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:01,600
Speaker 8: start out of camp last year for Duke, so I

1625
01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:08,480
Speaker 8: I think Duke's offense is capable. Clemson's defense obviously is formidable.

1626
01:23:08,680 --> 01:23:10,920
Speaker 8: I think they're just as formidable as they have been

1627
01:23:11,040 --> 01:23:11,920
Speaker 8: in years past.

1628
01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:15,920
Speaker 7: And it's your you, you guys nailed it. It's it's

1629
01:23:15,960 --> 01:23:16,720
Speaker 7: it's club Nick.

1630
01:23:16,800 --> 01:23:18,799
Speaker 8: And is he going to be more efficient than DJU

1631
01:23:18,960 --> 01:23:24,479
Speaker 8: was last year? They're there, We're We're a long way.

1632
01:23:24,320 --> 01:23:25,679
Speaker 7: From Trevor Lawrence and Deshaun Watson.

1633
01:23:25,720 --> 01:23:26,519
Speaker 3: Let's sleek at that.

1634
01:23:26,760 --> 01:23:28,600
Speaker 8: And and and I think that's the biggest you know

1635
01:23:28,680 --> 01:23:31,479
Speaker 8: takeaway for me was even with DJU, you know, with

1636
01:23:31,560 --> 01:23:33,839
Speaker 8: some of the numbers were okay last year in certain spots,

1637
01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:35,920
Speaker 8: Ben and Kaubnick comes in and you know, it's kind

1638
01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:36,679
Speaker 8: of a different look.

1639
01:23:36,720 --> 01:23:37,960
Speaker 7: But for the most part they're there.

1640
01:23:38,040 --> 01:23:40,599
Speaker 8: There's still a step behind where this program was at

1641
01:23:40,640 --> 01:23:41,040
Speaker 8: the peak.

1642
01:23:41,640 --> 01:23:43,080
Speaker 7: I like the backfield.

1643
01:23:43,320 --> 01:23:45,360
Speaker 8: Shipley and MafA are I think, you know, as we

1644
01:23:45,400 --> 01:23:48,639
Speaker 8: talked about with Penn State, with quarterbacks, new quarterbacks, best friends,

1645
01:23:49,400 --> 01:23:51,479
Speaker 8: a pair of really talented running backs. I don't think

1646
01:23:51,520 --> 01:23:53,839
Speaker 8: they have an outfit in the receiver room. Also similar

1647
01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:57,040
Speaker 8: to Penn State and Brian, you mentioned Garrett Riley. You know,

1648
01:23:57,040 --> 01:23:59,080
Speaker 8: we saw him with TCU last year and they he

1649
01:23:59,120 --> 01:24:00,840
Speaker 8: had a ton of weapons and disposal, and they had

1650
01:24:00,840 --> 01:24:04,320
Speaker 8: a really good year offensively. I think the offensive line

1651
01:24:04,520 --> 01:24:07,479
Speaker 8: is better for Clemson, and I think Duke's defense, which

1652
01:24:07,520 --> 01:24:10,120
Speaker 8: plays this like weird four two five, I think they're

1653
01:24:10,160 --> 01:24:13,320
Speaker 8: going to struggle a little bit to probably defend the run,

1654
01:24:13,439 --> 01:24:15,840
Speaker 8: but they've held up okay. And again this is a

1655
01:24:15,920 --> 01:24:17,839
Speaker 8: Duke offense. I think that could put up some points,

1656
01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:21,280
Speaker 8: especially at quarterback. They've got a little bit more giddy

1657
01:24:21,360 --> 01:24:23,559
Speaker 8: up there than you might think. But for the most part,

1658
01:24:23,680 --> 01:24:26,599
Speaker 8: this should be Clemson just kind of leaning on Duke

1659
01:24:26,680 --> 01:24:30,320
Speaker 8: and you would imagine the physicality eventually will pay a toll.

1660
01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:34,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm curious if too huge step in the right direction.

1661
01:24:34,560 --> 01:24:37,559
Speaker 5: Year over a year, they were plus six in wins,

1662
01:24:37,800 --> 01:24:40,040
Speaker 5: so they were three to nine and twenty twenty one,

1663
01:24:40,120 --> 01:24:43,360
Speaker 5: and then last season and Mike Elko's first year at

1664
01:24:43,439 --> 01:24:46,640
Speaker 5: nine and four good year, so it's plus six. So

1665
01:24:47,080 --> 01:24:51,679
Speaker 5: can you build off that strong season and run it back.

1666
01:24:52,840 --> 01:24:55,200
Speaker 5: Might not start off great against Clemson, that's what most

1667
01:24:55,200 --> 01:24:58,240
Speaker 5: people are expecting, but I'm curious about the Blue Devils

1668
01:24:58,720 --> 01:25:00,920
Speaker 5: this entire season. By the way, how guys, how are

1669
01:25:00,920 --> 01:25:03,599
Speaker 5: you guys at SALCID Dancy you guys could not.

1670
01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:06,000
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, one of the beast around, I would say,

1671
01:25:06,160 --> 01:25:07,040
Speaker 4: top five.

1672
01:25:07,200 --> 01:25:08,080
Speaker 6: Your hips don't lie.

1673
01:25:08,080 --> 01:25:10,680
Speaker 7: That what I heard about you hips don't lie.

1674
01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:15,320
Speaker 5: It's fock sports Radios Countdown to Kickoff, presented by bet MGM.

1675
01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:16,280
Speaker 6: Let's dive into this.

1676
01:25:17,479 --> 01:25:22,519
Speaker 1: Oh ye, let's get trendy.

1677
01:25:23,439 --> 01:25:28,559
Speaker 5: Okay, So, Jared Smith, you've got a spicy trend if

1678
01:25:28,600 --> 01:25:32,040
Speaker 5: you will, for Week one in college football.

1679
01:25:32,080 --> 01:25:33,080
Speaker 6: Here, what are you cooking up there?

1680
01:25:33,479 --> 01:25:36,240
Speaker 8: This is an interesting trend because I hear this narrative

1681
01:25:36,240 --> 01:25:39,519
Speaker 8: a lot, and I love the fact that we get

1682
01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:41,759
Speaker 8: someone like Rich who can, you know, kind of debunk

1683
01:25:41,840 --> 01:25:45,080
Speaker 8: somebody's myths between the lines. But I get to bring

1684
01:25:45,120 --> 01:25:47,280
Speaker 8: you the data version of this of this trend, and

1685
01:25:47,320 --> 01:25:50,519
Speaker 8: then I'm curious Rich's thoughts. So one thing we hear

1686
01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:53,000
Speaker 8: a lot is, oh, this team played last week. They've

1687
01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:55,639
Speaker 8: got a game under their belt. They're ready to go,

1688
01:25:55,920 --> 01:25:58,559
Speaker 8: they're more up to speed. They worked out some.

1689
01:25:58,560 --> 01:26:00,519
Speaker 7: Of the kings. Well not so fast, my friend.

1690
01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:04,599
Speaker 8: The data, the recent data says teams that played in

1691
01:26:04,640 --> 01:26:07,760
Speaker 8: Week zero that are playing obviously again in Week one

1692
01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:11,280
Speaker 8: against the team that hasn't played yet. Last year, they

1693
01:26:11,320 --> 01:26:14,639
Speaker 8: went just four to nine against the spread. So having

1694
01:26:14,680 --> 01:26:16,960
Speaker 8: that extra game under your belt to get up to

1695
01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:20,559
Speaker 8: speed isn't really helping. At least that's what the recent

1696
01:26:20,720 --> 01:26:24,080
Speaker 8: data says. And in fact, look at last night's games

1697
01:26:24,120 --> 01:26:28,559
Speaker 8: between Hawaii and Stanford. Hawaii looked fantastic last week. They

1698
01:26:28,640 --> 01:26:33,120
Speaker 8: covered against Vanderbilt, an SEC team on the road. Then

1699
01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:35,879
Speaker 8: they play Stanford at home was supposed to be terrible

1700
01:26:36,360 --> 01:26:40,880
Speaker 8: and they get waxed. So that holds true for a

1701
01:26:40,880 --> 01:26:43,639
Speaker 8: few teams today. USC played last week. They're a big

1702
01:26:43,640 --> 01:26:44,599
Speaker 8: favorite against Nevada.

1703
01:26:44,680 --> 01:26:45,040
Speaker 7: We'll see.

1704
01:26:45,280 --> 01:26:47,200
Speaker 8: I don't expect any issues there, but you never know.

1705
01:26:47,880 --> 01:26:51,840
Speaker 8: San Jose State looked good last week at times against USC.

1706
01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:53,320
Speaker 8: They now have to go on the road to play

1707
01:26:53,320 --> 01:26:57,599
Speaker 8: Oregon State. UMass big underdog against Auburn, LOTEC big underdog

1708
01:26:57,640 --> 01:27:00,679
Speaker 8: against SMU. So tough to tell with all these big

1709
01:27:00,760 --> 01:27:03,800
Speaker 8: favorites and big underdogs playing. But rich to me, what

1710
01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:07,680
Speaker 8: this says is a good coach that can see a

1711
01:27:07,760 --> 01:27:11,839
Speaker 8: team put something on tape the prior week maybe uses

1712
01:27:11,880 --> 01:27:14,880
Speaker 8: that to their advantage in week one, whereas they get

1713
01:27:15,640 --> 01:27:17,920
Speaker 8: the element of surprise in their favor And I think

1714
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:20,400
Speaker 8: Stanford Hawaii game last night a perfect example of it.

1715
01:27:20,640 --> 01:27:23,240
Speaker 4: This is such a brilliant thing to bring up, and

1716
01:27:23,320 --> 01:27:28,200
Speaker 4: it's absolutely one hundred percent true. Ask any coach what's

1717
01:27:28,240 --> 01:27:31,559
Speaker 4: the most nerve wracking game on their schedule. He'll tell

1718
01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:34,200
Speaker 4: you the next one, but after that, he'll tell you

1719
01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:37,120
Speaker 4: the first one. And the reason is because you're right.

1720
01:27:37,640 --> 01:27:40,320
Speaker 4: Every single year, there's so much, especially now with the

1721
01:27:40,360 --> 01:27:44,599
Speaker 4: transfer portal roster turnover, you have no idea from a

1722
01:27:44,640 --> 01:27:47,040
Speaker 4: personnel standpoint what you're gonna get a lot of new

1723
01:27:47,080 --> 01:27:51,040
Speaker 4: faces playing new positions, so that's a hard concept. Also

1724
01:27:51,360 --> 01:27:55,720
Speaker 4: coaching changeover, new coordinator here, new head coach. There a

1725
01:27:55,760 --> 01:27:59,160
Speaker 4: lot of times your team has to watch different film,

1726
01:27:59,560 --> 01:28:02,840
Speaker 4: and sometimes it's not even in the same league, Like

1727
01:28:02,880 --> 01:28:06,520
Speaker 4: there will be certain coaches who are turning on USFL

1728
01:28:06,720 --> 01:28:10,360
Speaker 4: film this week to get their teams prepared for Week

1729
01:28:10,400 --> 01:28:13,479
Speaker 4: one of college football. Like that's how crazy this gets.

1730
01:28:13,680 --> 01:28:16,840
Speaker 4: So it is one of the most complicated things to do,

1731
01:28:16,880 --> 01:28:19,759
Speaker 4: which leads me to my trend, which is upset alert.

1732
01:28:20,200 --> 01:28:24,080
Speaker 4: Look for lines that stink out loud and think to yourself,

1733
01:28:24,240 --> 01:28:26,760
Speaker 4: could I see a loss here? Or honestly, if you

1734
01:28:26,840 --> 01:28:29,360
Speaker 4: just want to bet the dog, but straight up moneyline

1735
01:28:29,400 --> 01:28:31,439
Speaker 4: bets in week one, if you fall in love with

1736
01:28:31,479 --> 01:28:35,280
Speaker 4: an underdog. This feels like a good time to bet them, because,

1737
01:28:35,439 --> 01:28:38,479
Speaker 4: just like you were talking about, preparation is difficult, and

1738
01:28:38,600 --> 01:28:42,360
Speaker 4: just like I know, sometimes it does take a week

1739
01:28:42,560 --> 01:28:45,040
Speaker 4: or two weeks for you to get your legs under

1740
01:28:45,040 --> 01:28:48,719
Speaker 4: you from a college football standpoint, because nothing replicates game

1741
01:28:48,760 --> 01:28:53,200
Speaker 4: speed like actually playing in games. So upset alert this week.

1742
01:28:53,240 --> 01:28:56,160
Speaker 4: If you love an underdog, may want to think about

1743
01:28:56,160 --> 01:28:57,320
Speaker 4: taking them on the money line.

1744
01:28:58,600 --> 01:29:01,759
Speaker 5: I'm fascinated by trying to be ahead of the curve

1745
01:29:02,160 --> 01:29:05,640
Speaker 5: of the game completely changing. And you see that a

1746
01:29:05,680 --> 01:29:07,920
Speaker 5: lot when it's the first game of the year, or

1747
01:29:07,960 --> 01:29:10,160
Speaker 5: like you're saying, Jared, maybe the second game of the

1748
01:29:10,240 --> 01:29:14,559
Speaker 5: year where the it might be a slugfest for a

1749
01:29:14,560 --> 01:29:17,400
Speaker 5: little while. You go back to Louisville and Georgia Tech

1750
01:29:17,479 --> 01:29:19,960
Speaker 5: last night, then all of a sudden, the floodgates open

1751
01:29:20,120 --> 01:29:21,839
Speaker 5: and it's just points galore.

1752
01:29:22,400 --> 01:29:23,600
Speaker 6: Think about comebacks.

1753
01:29:24,200 --> 01:29:27,760
Speaker 5: Louisville had a they were in bad shape, Yester, they

1754
01:29:27,760 --> 01:29:30,639
Speaker 5: are down big at halftime, and then all of a sudden,

1755
01:29:30,720 --> 01:29:33,320
Speaker 5: the game flipped. There's a big turnover, there's a seventy

1756
01:29:33,320 --> 01:29:38,400
Speaker 5: four yard touchdown run. Think about Nebraska, Oh my gosh,

1757
01:29:38,479 --> 01:29:40,479
Speaker 5: and just tearing your hair out. If you're a corner,

1758
01:29:40,520 --> 01:29:45,840
Speaker 5: it's gonna spen Nebraska losing against Minnesota. But these games

1759
01:29:45,920 --> 01:29:49,880
Speaker 5: just changed with the snap of a finger, and sometimes

1760
01:29:50,160 --> 01:29:53,599
Speaker 5: you can't anticipate that coming, and that really is where

1761
01:29:53,640 --> 01:29:56,720
Speaker 5: you can get value. If a game is just stagnant, stagnant,

1762
01:29:56,760 --> 01:29:59,599
Speaker 5: no one's doing anything, but you can feel like they're

1763
01:29:59,640 --> 01:30:03,000
Speaker 5: getting momentum, you're gonna start seeing some points being scored,

1764
01:30:03,400 --> 01:30:05,120
Speaker 5: or the opposite where maybe there are a couple of

1765
01:30:05,120 --> 01:30:07,840
Speaker 5: flukey touchdowns you can get on the end game under

1766
01:30:08,360 --> 01:30:12,479
Speaker 5: just when the game is going to change pace and tone.

1767
01:30:12,960 --> 01:30:15,000
Speaker 5: There's a lot of value if you can predict at

1768
01:30:15,040 --> 01:30:17,760
Speaker 5: the right time, at the right time to pounce, and

1769
01:30:17,840 --> 01:30:21,160
Speaker 5: of course the right angle to take right there. That's

1770
01:30:21,160 --> 01:30:23,479
Speaker 5: what I love, especially about the beginning of the season.

1771
01:30:24,760 --> 01:30:27,400
Speaker 4: It's good stuff. I you know, one of my favorite

1772
01:30:27,400 --> 01:30:30,320
Speaker 4: parts about starting a new season was you had no

1773
01:30:30,400 --> 01:30:34,160
Speaker 4: idea what type of team you had, and so you

1774
01:30:34,240 --> 01:30:36,360
Speaker 4: found out and you found out real quick, like you

1775
01:30:36,439 --> 01:30:38,280
Speaker 4: got a tough minded team. Do you got a team

1776
01:30:38,320 --> 01:30:40,599
Speaker 4: that can overcome some adversity. Do you got a team

1777
01:30:40,640 --> 01:30:43,360
Speaker 4: that can score quick to finish a first half? Do

1778
01:30:43,360 --> 01:30:45,800
Speaker 4: you have a team that is a front running team

1779
01:30:45,880 --> 01:30:47,360
Speaker 4: where you like to play with the lead. Do you

1780
01:30:47,400 --> 01:30:49,479
Speaker 4: got a team that needs to face some adversity to

1781
01:30:49,520 --> 01:30:53,320
Speaker 4: get going? Like think about think about you know teams

1782
01:30:53,360 --> 01:30:56,479
Speaker 4: we saw to finish out the NFL season where you

1783
01:30:56,479 --> 01:30:59,559
Speaker 4: know the Minnesota Vikings, Like, I mean, they just love

1784
01:30:59,600 --> 01:31:02,759
Speaker 4: living life on the edge. You know how many games

1785
01:31:02,760 --> 01:31:06,040
Speaker 4: they won by three points? It's a ridiculous it was

1786
01:31:06,080 --> 01:31:08,960
Speaker 4: an NFL record, you know. So you get to figure

1787
01:31:08,960 --> 01:31:11,120
Speaker 4: out who you are early in the season and that

1788
01:31:11,280 --> 01:31:14,759
Speaker 4: usually does follow you throughout. So a lot of great

1789
01:31:14,920 --> 01:31:17,920
Speaker 4: little if you're looking for him little acorns to pick

1790
01:31:18,000 --> 01:31:21,160
Speaker 4: up this week. From a betting standpoint, you're gonna learn

1791
01:31:21,200 --> 01:31:24,240
Speaker 4: a lot about these teams. So if you are somebody

1792
01:31:24,280 --> 01:31:27,080
Speaker 4: who loves to take out your bet MGM app every

1793
01:31:27,200 --> 01:31:30,240
Speaker 4: single week and and you know, click on buttons and

1794
01:31:30,520 --> 01:31:33,240
Speaker 4: you know, pay close attention to week one, you're gonna

1795
01:31:33,280 --> 01:31:36,920
Speaker 4: you're gonna gain a lot of information. And typically teams

1796
01:31:36,960 --> 01:31:39,559
Speaker 4: are who they are, but week one to week two,

1797
01:31:40,200 --> 01:31:44,680
Speaker 4: teams make the biggest, most significant jump in terms of progress.

1798
01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:48,000
Speaker 4: And so these early season games are but they're they're

1799
01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:51,519
Speaker 4: really highly consequential in terms of what a team's outlooks

1800
01:31:51,560 --> 01:31:51,920
Speaker 4: gonna be.

1801
01:31:52,560 --> 01:31:55,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, and just the way that the lines move from

1802
01:31:55,360 --> 01:31:55,920
Speaker 8: week to week.

1803
01:31:56,040 --> 01:31:58,880
Speaker 7: They move more between week one and two.

1804
01:31:59,360 --> 01:32:04,120
Speaker 8: The look ahay numbers will adjust very quickly because especially

1805
01:32:04,280 --> 01:32:07,280
Speaker 8: like take a team like Colorado, and I think Colorado

1806
01:32:07,439 --> 01:32:12,040
Speaker 8: is the poster child for the volatility of the betting markets,

1807
01:32:12,280 --> 01:32:17,439
Speaker 8: there's a decent chance that their number moves five, six, seven, eight,

1808
01:32:17,680 --> 01:32:20,920
Speaker 8: their power rating number dramatically from week to week, like

1809
01:32:21,000 --> 01:32:23,400
Speaker 8: more so than any other team, because of just how

1810
01:32:23,439 --> 01:32:25,880
Speaker 8: thin they are, because of the depth of the roster,

1811
01:32:26,320 --> 01:32:31,479
Speaker 8: because of the uncertainty and the unknowns, and information is key,

1812
01:32:31,800 --> 01:32:35,200
Speaker 8: knowledge is power. I've heard Crack talk about this all

1813
01:32:35,240 --> 01:32:39,160
Speaker 8: the time. None of it matters until you know, and

1814
01:32:39,400 --> 01:32:41,200
Speaker 8: we don't know until we see it, until we watch it,

1815
01:32:41,280 --> 01:32:43,360
Speaker 8: till we have data, And we don't have any data.

1816
01:32:43,240 --> 01:32:45,960
Speaker 7: Right now, so it's a blank slate for everyone.

1817
01:32:46,280 --> 01:32:48,400
Speaker 8: And then we start filling out our cards with all

1818
01:32:48,439 --> 01:32:51,400
Speaker 8: these little numbers and all these little you know annotations,

1819
01:32:51,400 --> 01:32:54,240
Speaker 8: and eventually it gets pretty thick. And then towards the

1820
01:32:54,320 --> 01:32:56,519
Speaker 8: end of the year, it's a lot harder to change

1821
01:32:56,560 --> 01:32:58,600
Speaker 8: our opinion on a team because we have all of

1822
01:32:58,600 --> 01:33:01,599
Speaker 8: this data right now. It is a clean slate, and

1823
01:33:01,640 --> 01:33:04,240
Speaker 8: we will start to build that database today, and we

1824
01:33:04,280 --> 01:33:06,000
Speaker 8: started to build it a little bit last week. But

1825
01:33:06,240 --> 01:33:08,240
Speaker 8: I go back to this trend and it really does

1826
01:33:08,680 --> 01:33:12,200
Speaker 8: make an interesting note where just because you played last

1827
01:33:12,240 --> 01:33:14,080
Speaker 8: week does not mean you have a leg up on

1828
01:33:14,120 --> 01:33:16,760
Speaker 8: a team that hasn't played this week. That trend and

1829
01:33:16,800 --> 01:33:20,240
Speaker 8: that narrative, to me, is not worth anything. In fact,

1830
01:33:20,360 --> 01:33:24,040
Speaker 8: the recent data says, if you haven't played yet, you

1831
01:33:24,200 --> 01:33:27,479
Speaker 8: have maybe a slight edge on your opponent this week.

1832
01:33:27,320 --> 01:33:28,639
Speaker 7: So keep an eye on those teams.

1833
01:33:28,680 --> 01:33:31,080
Speaker 8: I would not here's I would not be laying thirty

1834
01:33:31,120 --> 01:33:33,320
Speaker 8: eight points with USC this week. I would not be,

1835
01:33:33,800 --> 01:33:36,840
Speaker 8: you know, taking thirty five with U MASS today. I

1836
01:33:37,040 --> 01:33:39,040
Speaker 8: would I would let these games kind of play out

1837
01:33:39,080 --> 01:33:42,400
Speaker 8: and hopefully we build a good database of knowledge going forward.

1847
01:34:09,840 --> 01:34:14,280
Speaker 5: go tipy towing in with navy blue, no tight black

1848
01:34:14,360 --> 01:34:17,320

Speaker 5: We are following the money with our guy, Christian Sippollini,

1870
01:35:23,479 --> 01:35:27,840
Speaker 5: bet MGM Trading manager here again as we really I

1871
01:35:27,880 --> 01:35:29,880
Speaker 5: feel like begin a new season. I know we had

1872
01:35:29,920 --> 01:35:33,080
Speaker 5: week zero, Christian, but it doesn't feel like to start.

1873
01:35:33,160 --> 01:35:35,439
Speaker 5: This feels like to start right. How about from a

1874
01:35:35,520 --> 01:35:39,800
Speaker 5: betting standpoint, what is the most intriguing game of the

1875
01:35:39,960 --> 01:35:41,240
Speaker 5: entire weekend.

1876
01:35:40,840 --> 01:35:44,639
Speaker 6: When you just look at it from a gambling angle, Yeah.

1877
01:35:44,479 --> 01:35:46,160
Speaker 10: You're right, this is this is the week where it

1878
01:35:46,160 --> 01:35:48,240
Speaker 10: really feels like it's the first one of big full

1879
01:35:48,320 --> 01:35:51,920
Speaker 10: slate of games. Although you said there, you know what's

1880
01:35:51,960 --> 01:35:54,639
Speaker 10: what's the big betting angle? A majority of these games

1881
01:35:54,640 --> 01:35:58,920
Speaker 10: today have really really big spreads. So I think I

1882
01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:01,920
Speaker 10: counted only three or four games within seven point spread.

1883
01:36:02,280 --> 01:36:04,519
Speaker 10: So I'd say on that one that the closest two

1884
01:36:04,520 --> 01:36:07,160
Speaker 10: way action actually that we do have in those big

1885
01:36:07,200 --> 01:36:10,960
Speaker 10: spreads is TCU Colorado. We have a lot of Colorado backers.

1886
01:36:11,560 --> 01:36:15,040
Speaker 10: But then in games that are close North Carolina versus

1887
01:36:15,080 --> 01:36:17,280
Speaker 10: South Carolina, where we're getting a lot of North Carolina

1888
01:36:17,280 --> 01:36:19,160
Speaker 10: action at that two and a half price points.

1889
01:36:20,080 --> 01:36:21,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't want to get too far ahead of

1890
01:36:21,800 --> 01:36:24,719
Speaker 4: ourselves because we have a full slate today, like you said,

1891
01:36:24,760 --> 01:36:28,439
Speaker 4: but looking forward to this LSU Florida State game. That's

1892
01:36:28,479 --> 01:36:32,120
Speaker 4: a tight spread as well. Right now at MGM, we're

1893
01:36:32,160 --> 01:36:34,720
Speaker 4: looking at Florida State dog that home two and a

1894
01:36:34,760 --> 01:36:38,880
Speaker 4: half points. What intel can you give all of our

1895
01:36:38,880 --> 01:36:41,400
Speaker 4: listeners on this game ahead of this matchup?

1896
01:36:43,680 --> 01:36:45,960
Speaker 10: Yeah, so that's that's actually going to be probably the

1897
01:36:46,000 --> 01:36:48,679
Speaker 10: most We're expecting that to be our biggest game of

1898
01:36:48,720 --> 01:36:53,120
Speaker 10: the week, A close spread Sunday night. We actually have

1899
01:36:53,120 --> 01:36:57,519
Speaker 10: a pretty you know, pretty tight book there. We're taking

1900
01:36:57,560 --> 01:36:59,479
Speaker 10: more action on ls you minus two and a half,

1901
01:36:59,520 --> 01:37:02,240
Speaker 10: but it's pretty close so far. We do have a

1902
01:37:02,240 --> 01:37:05,719
Speaker 10: bigger presence in Louisiana, you know, I'd say a little

1903
01:37:05,720 --> 01:37:07,639
Speaker 10: bit of the sharp money more is on Florida State.

1904
01:37:07,760 --> 01:37:09,240
Speaker 10: But it's a little bit of both.

1905
01:37:10,160 --> 01:37:13,000
Speaker 8: Christian, I'm always fascinated when you see a game and

1906
01:37:13,120 --> 01:37:14,880
Speaker 8: I think this total is going up a little bit.

1907
01:37:14,920 --> 01:37:17,400
Speaker 8: But you've got this Michigan eat Carolina game. I mean,

1908
01:37:17,439 --> 01:37:20,679
Speaker 8: the spreads thirty five, thirty five plus and the total

1909
01:37:20,760 --> 01:37:23,439
Speaker 8: is fifty two. Now we're seeing it go up a

1910
01:37:23,439 --> 01:37:26,240
Speaker 8: little bit. But how do you quantify First of all,

1911
01:37:26,240 --> 01:37:28,120
Speaker 8: that to me, that is an incredibly tight split for

1912
01:37:28,439 --> 01:37:30,360
Speaker 8: a side in total, which makes it a unique game

1913
01:37:30,400 --> 01:37:33,599
Speaker 8: to book. But also how do you quantify not only

1914
01:37:33,640 --> 01:37:37,280
Speaker 8: the loss of coach Harball but also the offensive coordinator

1915
01:37:37,280 --> 01:37:37,799
Speaker 8: from Michigan.

1916
01:37:39,560 --> 01:37:42,280
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean those are tough to really put into

1917
01:37:42,320 --> 01:37:44,800
Speaker 10: it because it's hard to see that result exactly on

1918
01:37:44,840 --> 01:37:46,880
Speaker 10: the field. I know, when the quarterbacks out going as

1919
01:37:46,880 --> 01:37:49,160
Speaker 10: a second backup quarterback, you know, that's a lot easier

1920
01:37:49,160 --> 01:37:51,280
Speaker 10: to quantify than it is what is that value of

1921
01:37:51,360 --> 01:37:53,719
Speaker 10: the coach? And then it's always you know, team by team,

1922
01:37:53,760 --> 01:37:56,679
Speaker 10: game by game, what's the nyans that coach to that team?

1923
01:37:57,040 --> 01:37:59,160
Speaker 10: You would think obviously Jim Harball is going to be

1924
01:37:59,200 --> 01:38:02,240
Speaker 10: a big you know, a big one for Michigan there,

1925
01:38:02,280 --> 01:38:05,280
Speaker 10: but you know, weaker competition playing East Carolina, so you

1926
01:38:05,280 --> 01:38:07,960
Speaker 10: would think he's gonna have there's still the boys are

1927
01:38:07,960 --> 01:38:11,000
Speaker 10: still gonna be ready to play. So really it's we're

1928
01:38:11,040 --> 01:38:13,479
Speaker 10: still more focused on the players on the field, so

1929
01:38:13,720 --> 01:38:16,559
Speaker 10: it's not really contributing too too much to the spread here.

1930
01:38:17,080 --> 01:38:21,400
Speaker 5: He's Christian Sippolini bet MGM trading manager. How about any

1931
01:38:21,479 --> 01:38:24,439
Speaker 5: action that's going in a direction that you're either like

1932
01:38:24,800 --> 01:38:28,320
Speaker 5: not a good idea, or or if you're not quite

1933
01:38:28,360 --> 01:38:31,240
Speaker 5: there where you're like, that's that's interesting. I wouldn't have

1934
01:38:31,560 --> 01:38:33,920
Speaker 5: guessed that the money would be heading in this direction

1935
01:38:33,960 --> 01:38:34,599
Speaker 5: on this team.

1936
01:38:35,800 --> 01:38:37,360
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean the one I'm going to have to

1937
01:38:37,960 --> 01:38:40,800
Speaker 10: definitely mention is Colorado. So, like I said, today is

1938
01:38:40,880 --> 01:38:44,800
Speaker 10: a ton of multi digits spread games, and they're all

1939
01:38:44,840 --> 01:38:47,200
Speaker 10: over the place. And in those games, you know, we're

1940
01:38:47,240 --> 01:38:49,960
Speaker 10: taking Alabama, you know, minus thirty nine and a half,

1941
01:38:50,000 --> 01:38:52,519
Speaker 10: We're still taking Michigan minus thirty five and a half.

1942
01:38:52,600 --> 01:38:54,799
Speaker 10: People are still taking those big name teams. But it's

1943
01:38:55,200 --> 01:38:57,680
Speaker 10: the opposite here in this Colorado TCU game. You know,

1944
01:38:57,720 --> 01:39:00,679
Speaker 10: we're about even. If anything, we still have more money

1945
01:39:00,680 --> 01:39:03,639
Speaker 10: on Colorado. So Colorado this year with Deion Sanders, that's

1946
01:39:04,000 --> 01:39:06,439
Speaker 10: the big public favorite. We're taking a ton of bets

1947
01:39:06,439 --> 01:39:09,160
Speaker 10: on them. In this instance, we'd expect more money to

1948
01:39:09,160 --> 01:39:10,840
Speaker 10: be on TCU. But we're about even.

1949
01:39:10,920 --> 01:39:14,519
Speaker 4: So I want to ask you a question based off

1950
01:39:14,560 --> 01:39:18,600
Speaker 4: what I feel, and then maybe you can answer in

1951
01:39:18,720 --> 01:39:23,240
Speaker 4: what reality actually is. So what I feel is like

1952
01:39:23,280 --> 01:39:25,679
Speaker 4: if you fall in love with an underdog or maybe

1953
01:39:25,720 --> 01:39:28,320
Speaker 4: a money line, pick a dog that you really like.

1954
01:39:29,080 --> 01:39:32,759
Speaker 4: Week one, week zero, maybe even week two, Like that's

1955
01:39:32,800 --> 01:39:34,640
Speaker 4: the time to bet them, because it just sort of

1956
01:39:34,640 --> 01:39:38,120
Speaker 4: feels like early season upset is a phrase that I

1957
01:39:38,160 --> 01:39:41,679
Speaker 4: hear every single year. But but do the metrics actually

1958
01:39:41,760 --> 01:39:45,320
Speaker 4: match the feeling? Do you guys at the sports books

1959
01:39:45,320 --> 01:39:51,360
Speaker 4: you actually see more moneyline upsets rather than later in

1960
01:39:51,400 --> 01:39:51,760
Speaker 4: the year.

1961
01:39:53,200 --> 01:39:55,040
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's a good point, because you know, we do

1962
01:39:55,120 --> 01:39:57,519
Speaker 10: have less information in this first week than we will

1963
01:39:57,560 --> 01:40:00,320
Speaker 10: a few weeks into the season. So if there is

1964
01:40:00,360 --> 01:40:02,320
Speaker 10: a time where the books price is going to be off,

1965
01:40:02,439 --> 01:40:04,439
Speaker 10: you know it is going to be earlier in the season.

1966
01:40:05,280 --> 01:40:07,479
Speaker 10: This week is definitely going to be tough because of

1967
01:40:07,520 --> 01:40:10,800
Speaker 10: all these really really high spreads. Maybe there's a chance,

1968
01:40:10,840 --> 01:40:13,040
Speaker 10: you know, we're off somewhere. People think that we're off

1969
01:40:13,080 --> 01:40:15,400
Speaker 10: on Colorado. You get a mis plus seven hundred plus

1970
01:40:15,479 --> 01:40:19,320
Speaker 10: eight hundred, So yeah, this would be the time for sure,

1971
01:40:20,400 --> 01:40:22,720
Speaker 10: But I'm not so sure about a thirty five point off.

1972
01:40:23,160 --> 01:40:25,480
Speaker 10: You just come over on the money line.

1973
01:40:26,120 --> 01:40:29,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, maybe stay away from East Carolina money line today.

1974
01:40:29,400 --> 01:40:31,800
Speaker 8: But I don't want to keep talking about Colorado. But

1975
01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:35,280
Speaker 8: to me, they're the most interesting team from a pricing standpoint. Christian,

1976
01:40:35,760 --> 01:40:38,960
Speaker 8: how do you even create a rating for them? With

1977
01:40:39,160 --> 01:40:44,280
Speaker 8: all of the absurd transfers and the lack of returning production,

1978
01:40:44,920 --> 01:40:47,240
Speaker 8: this had to I'm assuming this was one of the

1979
01:40:47,280 --> 01:40:51,720
Speaker 8: more challenging teams to price this offseason. Yeah.

1980
01:40:51,800 --> 01:40:55,120
Speaker 10: Yeah, because there's so much unknown. It's just completely different teams,

1981
01:40:55,120 --> 01:40:57,439
Speaker 10: totally different coach and a ton of ton of hype

1982
01:40:57,439 --> 01:41:00,000
Speaker 10: around it. So you know, we've definitely been questioning ourselves

1983
01:41:00,040 --> 01:41:01,640
Speaker 10: at times, you know, making sure that we have the

1984
01:41:01,720 --> 01:41:03,679
Speaker 10: rice price rice rice price point.

1985
01:41:04,160 --> 01:41:04,400
Speaker 4: Uh.

1986
01:41:04,439 --> 01:41:06,240
Speaker 10: You know, when we look at our future's books, there

1987
01:41:06,280 --> 01:41:09,599
Speaker 10: by far our biggest liability. You know, there's there regular

1988
01:41:09,640 --> 01:41:12,280
Speaker 10: season wins. They're only you know, expected to win you know,

1989
01:41:12,400 --> 01:41:15,439
Speaker 10: three four games this season, but while we've only taken

1990
01:41:15,479 --> 01:41:17,679
Speaker 10: overs on them and we're taking money on them all season.

1991
01:41:17,720 --> 01:41:19,360
Speaker 10: So definitely hard to book. But we think we're in

1992
01:41:19,360 --> 01:41:20,280
Speaker 10: the right spot.

1993
01:41:20,520 --> 01:41:23,960
Speaker 5: I'm always interested with pros versus Joe's Christian and it

1994
01:41:24,000 --> 01:41:25,800
Speaker 5: sounds like the Joe's a lot of them are on

1995
01:41:25,880 --> 01:41:29,920
Speaker 5: Colorado today. Who are the pros on what's the sharpest

1996
01:41:30,080 --> 01:41:33,559
Speaker 5: play in your estimation heading into the first big Saturday

1997
01:41:33,560 --> 01:41:34,360
Speaker 5: in week one here?

1998
01:41:35,760 --> 01:41:37,559
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, we always get different ones in this

1999
01:41:37,640 --> 01:41:40,599
Speaker 10: first week is tough too, because these games have been

2000
01:41:40,640 --> 01:41:43,800
Speaker 10: opened for so long that you know, a lot of

2001
01:41:43,840 --> 01:41:47,280
Speaker 10: these these plays have happened you know, in June, in July,

2002
01:41:47,760 --> 01:41:50,160
Speaker 10: so a lot of your advantage that you would be

2003
01:41:50,200 --> 01:41:52,479
Speaker 10: trying to take today, you know, you missed that month

2004
01:41:52,560 --> 01:41:55,160
Speaker 10: and months ago. But we have had a few different

2005
01:41:55,200 --> 01:41:57,920
Speaker 10: sharp plays in different spots. Some of these numbers may

2006
01:41:57,960 --> 01:42:00,960
Speaker 10: not still be there, but uh, we've seen some Purdue

2007
01:42:01,000 --> 01:42:02,760
Speaker 10: action at three and a half, we're back up to

2008
01:42:02,800 --> 01:42:05,600
Speaker 10: four now, Colorado State at ten and a half. We

2009
01:42:05,680 --> 01:42:08,479
Speaker 10: got a lot of action from the Sharps there and

2010
01:42:09,000 --> 01:42:11,680
Speaker 10: USC under sixty six was a play that we had

2011
01:42:11,720 --> 01:42:12,439
Speaker 10: earlier today.

2012
01:42:13,640 --> 01:42:19,799
Speaker 7: Wow, interesting under in a USC game, Rich, I know, tells.

2013
01:42:19,600 --> 01:42:22,639
Speaker 10: You what happens. You know, the public, the public loves

2014
01:42:22,760 --> 01:42:24,599
Speaker 10: is always going to take it over in the USC games.

2015
01:42:24,640 --> 01:42:26,840
Speaker 10: But the sharps that are the ones that are maybe

2016
01:42:26,880 --> 01:42:29,200
Speaker 10: seeing that there's maybe too much value there and they

2017
01:42:29,200 --> 01:42:30,519
Speaker 10: want to come back on the other side.

2018
01:42:31,040 --> 01:42:34,040
Speaker 4: I'm going to ask you this question, Uh, what's the

2019
01:42:34,040 --> 01:42:39,120
Speaker 4: most undertickets bet so far this week? And why is

2020
01:42:39,160 --> 01:42:51,040
Speaker 4: it Iowa? Because I mean the Hawk guys. Actually that

2021
01:42:51,160 --> 01:42:54,240
Speaker 4: leads me to an interesting question like how much do

2022
01:42:54,240 --> 01:42:57,840
Speaker 4: do culture and coaching and like, you know, we know

2023
01:42:58,040 --> 01:43:00,519
Speaker 4: Ryan Day loves to pump up the scoreboard. We know

2024
01:43:00,640 --> 01:43:04,680
Speaker 4: classically what the Hawkeys do when it comes to to

2025
01:43:04,800 --> 01:43:08,519
Speaker 4: their offensive football goodness, gracious, like like how much research

2026
01:43:08,840 --> 01:43:12,280
Speaker 4: goes into the coach and you know, Deon Sanders in

2027
01:43:12,320 --> 01:43:14,559
Speaker 4: an example, we talked a lot about Colorado going to

2028
01:43:14,600 --> 01:43:17,920
Speaker 4: a new place that feels like a through line though

2029
01:43:18,200 --> 01:43:21,639
Speaker 4: where you can see style, you can see the sort

2030
01:43:21,640 --> 01:43:23,840
Speaker 4: of like how heavy the foot is on the gas

2031
01:43:23,880 --> 01:43:28,160
Speaker 4: pedal in the second half, conservative nature versus aggressive nature?

2032
01:43:28,240 --> 01:43:30,920
Speaker 4: How much study goes into the coaching college football, because

2033
01:43:31,120 --> 01:43:33,960
Speaker 4: that feels like to me the best angle to really

2034
01:43:34,000 --> 01:43:36,080
Speaker 4: evaluate when we're talking about week one.

2035
01:43:37,439 --> 01:43:39,400
Speaker 10: Yes, I mean it's kind of the same thing we

2036
01:43:39,400 --> 01:43:41,840
Speaker 10: were talking about there. You know, it's a it's a

2037
01:43:41,880 --> 01:43:44,439
Speaker 10: mix of how much of the previous season are you

2038
01:43:44,479 --> 01:43:46,800
Speaker 10: going to factor into this current season? How much of

2039
01:43:47,120 --> 01:43:49,280
Speaker 10: how much of his style do you really factor in

2040
01:43:49,280 --> 01:43:54,479
Speaker 10: the play and play such a different styles. You know,

2041
01:43:54,560 --> 01:43:57,680
Speaker 10: they hit defense and you know, running the ball and

2042
01:43:57,800 --> 01:44:03,280
Speaker 10: keeping the keeping the scoring low. Public start to react

2043
01:44:03,280 --> 01:44:04,880
Speaker 10: and catch on with the same thing and take those

2044
01:44:04,960 --> 01:44:07,840
Speaker 10: under same thing with some of the service games as well.

2045
01:44:08,960 --> 01:44:09,120
Speaker 4: Well.

2046
01:44:09,120 --> 01:44:11,880

Speaker 6: I call it an injury report.

2069
01:45:21,080 --> 01:45:24,479
Speaker 9: The Big Dens calling it availability report questionable is what

2070
01:45:24,560 --> 01:45:26,479

Speaker 5: from kickoff. Oh that is a beautiful thing. And listen

2097
01:46:43,720 --> 01:46:48,639
Speaker 5: a little longer until tonight on ABC seven thirty Eastern Time.

2098
01:46:49,080 --> 01:46:51,160
Speaker 6: North Carolina against South Carolina.

2099
01:46:51,800 --> 01:46:54,800
Speaker 5: It's at Boa, as Cam Newton used to say, Bank

2100
01:46:54,840 --> 01:46:58,479
Speaker 5: of America Stadium, where the Carolina Panthers play. But that

2101
01:46:58,640 --> 01:47:01,719
Speaker 5: is a tasty matchup, man, And how about this Mac Brown.

2102
01:47:02,000 --> 01:47:05,519
Speaker 5: North Carolina head coach none too pleased with the NC

2103
01:47:05,560 --> 01:47:09,280
Speaker 5: double A Kent State transfer Tes Walker. He's a wide

2104
01:47:09,280 --> 01:47:14,240
Speaker 5: receiver ineligible to play in this first game because he's

2105
01:47:14,280 --> 01:47:19,839
Speaker 5: a double transfer. There's a whole lot there, North Carolina,

2106
01:47:19,160 --> 01:47:22,320
Speaker 5: they filed for him to be able to play. The

2107
01:47:22,400 --> 01:47:26,599
Speaker 5: NC DOUBLEA said no, they appealed this. The NC DOUBLEA

2108
01:47:26,880 --> 01:47:30,599
Speaker 5: still hasn't come back and said, what's what? So Tes

2109
01:47:30,680 --> 01:47:34,720
Speaker 5: Walker is ineligible for the first game and getting into

2110
01:47:34,720 --> 01:47:39,160
Speaker 5: the weeds a little bit tes Walker he transferred the

2111
01:47:39,200 --> 01:47:42,880
Speaker 5: first time because the COVID season, like his team wasn't

2112
01:47:42,880 --> 01:47:45,120
Speaker 5: going to be playing, so he transferred to another school.

2113
01:47:45,520 --> 01:47:49,439
Speaker 5: And then the mental health aspect, which is real, like

2114
01:47:49,520 --> 01:47:53,160
Speaker 5: this isn't in this particular situation. Just hey, let's go

2115
01:47:53,200 --> 01:47:55,240
Speaker 5: with mental health and hopefully you can play in week one.

2116
01:47:55,479 --> 01:47:58,400
Speaker 5: It's a legitimate thing. The guy is still seeing people,

2117
01:47:58,479 --> 01:48:01,000
Speaker 5: it's whole thing, and so that's why North Carolina thought

2118
01:48:01,000 --> 01:48:05,439
Speaker 5: he should be eligible. Ruled ineligible though, as Shrake may

2119
01:48:05,560 --> 01:48:08,360
Speaker 5: highly touted, he'll be on the field without one of

2120
01:48:08,360 --> 01:48:10,000
Speaker 5: his weapons and Ted Walker there.

2121
01:48:10,320 --> 01:48:13,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no question. Look, I love this game because

2122
01:48:14,439 --> 01:48:16,320
Speaker 4: this kind of reminds me of some of those big

2123
01:48:16,360 --> 01:48:19,559
Speaker 4: twelve shootouts that we got used to seeing for years

2124
01:48:19,600 --> 01:48:23,560
Speaker 4: and years with the air raid offenses infiltrating that conference

2125
01:48:23,640 --> 01:48:28,519
Speaker 4: really first and foremost. But these teams score buckets of

2126
01:48:28,600 --> 01:48:33,080
Speaker 4: points and allow just as many in terms of last

2127
01:48:33,120 --> 01:48:35,960
Speaker 4: season looking forward now, like we talked about, not all

2128
01:48:36,000 --> 01:48:40,120
Speaker 4: things stay static, so defenses can improve on both sides.

2129
01:48:41,120 --> 01:48:43,599
Speaker 4: But I do think this is going to be one

2130
01:48:43,600 --> 01:48:47,719
Speaker 4: of those high scoring games both of these offenses scored

2131
01:48:48,120 --> 01:48:51,840
Speaker 4: north of thirty points last year while allowing in the

2132
01:48:51,880 --> 01:48:55,519
Speaker 4: case of North Carolina Carolina averaging over thirty points allowed

2133
01:48:56,240 --> 01:49:00,479
Speaker 4: and just right there at like twenty eight and change

2134
01:49:00,800 --> 01:49:02,880
Speaker 4: for the Game Cocks. So I think we're gonna have

2135
01:49:02,880 --> 01:49:07,599
Speaker 4: one of those offensive explosions in Week one, and I'm

2136
01:49:07,600 --> 01:49:10,280
Speaker 4: here for it because, again, the battle at the quarterback

2137
01:49:10,640 --> 01:49:16,760
Speaker 4: is an excellent one. I think that offense sells. Offense

2138
01:49:17,080 --> 01:49:21,479
Speaker 4: is what people really turn on all sports for now.

2139
01:49:21,840 --> 01:49:25,240
Speaker 4: You know, home run hitting in baseball, stolen bases, you know,

2140
01:49:25,400 --> 01:49:29,400
Speaker 4: look two hundred, two hundred and twenty to two hundred

2141
01:49:29,400 --> 01:49:33,400
Speaker 4: and forty point overs hitting in the NBA. It's kind

2142
01:49:33,400 --> 01:49:36,519
Speaker 4: of the way that sports are heading. And this one

2143
01:49:36,600 --> 01:49:39,599
Speaker 4: feels to me like it could be an explosive offensive matchup.

2144
01:49:39,880 --> 01:49:43,920
Speaker 8: Absolutely, Drake may last year number one efficiency rating of

2145
01:49:43,920 --> 01:49:46,880
Speaker 8: any Power five quarterback, but the advantage in this game

2146
01:49:46,920 --> 01:49:50,040
Speaker 8: actually says UNC should run the ball. South Carolina only

2147
01:49:50,040 --> 01:49:54,120
Speaker 8: has four starters returning on defense and basically zero zero

2148
01:49:54,320 --> 01:49:57,760
Speaker 8: experience upfront. I do not know what South Carolina is

2149
01:49:57,800 --> 01:50:00,599
Speaker 8: defensive line, and this is rare for an se front.

2150
01:50:00,920 --> 01:50:03,519
Speaker 8: They brought in a lot of transfer talent, but we

2151
01:50:03,800 --> 01:50:06,840
Speaker 8: just don't know what it's going to look like when

2152
01:50:06,840 --> 01:50:10,720
Speaker 8: they actually strap it up. And this is a this

2153
01:50:10,760 --> 01:50:13,240
Speaker 8: is a South Carolina defense last year bottom ten and

2154
01:50:13,320 --> 01:50:16,639
Speaker 8: yards before first contact. They allowed two hundred and fifty

2155
01:50:16,640 --> 01:50:18,720
Speaker 8: one rushing yards per game over their final five. So

2156
01:50:19,520 --> 01:50:22,880
Speaker 8: I'm curious if UNC and listen, this is a very

2157
01:50:22,880 --> 01:50:25,519
Speaker 8: good UNC offense. We know Drake May's fantastic, but do

2158
01:50:25,600 --> 01:50:27,880
Speaker 8: they go away from the pass? Do they take the

2159
01:50:27,880 --> 01:50:31,960
Speaker 8: ball out of their best player's hand, because the running

2160
01:50:31,960 --> 01:50:34,959
Speaker 8: game for UNC, you would expect should have an advantage

2161
01:50:34,960 --> 01:50:38,400
Speaker 8: here for South Carolina new offensive coordinator Devil Loggins. If

2162
01:50:38,400 --> 01:50:42,600
Speaker 8: you remember his NFL time, it was not positive. He

2163
01:50:42,800 --> 01:50:45,360
Speaker 8: did not do a good job. I know Brian with

2164
01:50:45,400 --> 01:50:48,400
Speaker 8: the Dolphins, he coached my Jets. Every offense he went

2165
01:50:48,479 --> 01:50:51,960
Speaker 8: to went work got worse after he got there. So

2166
01:50:52,200 --> 01:50:56,200
Speaker 8: I'm curious if Spencer Rattler can they mesh together with Loggins.

2167
01:50:56,240 --> 01:50:58,479
Speaker 8: He had a lot of turnovers last year. And I

2168
01:50:58,479 --> 01:51:00,400
Speaker 8: think the offensive line is okay. I think they're gonna

2169
01:51:00,400 --> 01:51:02,040
Speaker 8: be able to run the ball too, because let's be honest,

2170
01:51:02,120 --> 01:51:05,760
Speaker 8: UNC's defenses is not good and Jeane Chiswick it has

2171
01:51:05,800 --> 01:51:07,640
Speaker 8: a lot of work to do. In that regard the

2172
01:51:07,640 --> 01:51:10,599
Speaker 8: defensive coordinator for the tar Heels. But to me, it's

2173
01:51:10,640 --> 01:51:13,320
Speaker 8: more does UNC go away from the pass? And can

2174
01:51:13,360 --> 01:51:15,760
Speaker 8: South Carolina hold up in the running game? If those

2175
01:51:15,800 --> 01:51:18,880
Speaker 8: two things happened, I think the game Cocks as a

2176
01:51:18,960 --> 01:51:20,400
Speaker 8: dog is an interesting bet here.

2177
01:51:21,320 --> 01:51:22,320
Speaker 6: I can't wait for that game.

2178
01:51:22,400 --> 01:51:25,719
Speaker 5: Yeah game, And that's the thing is can South Carolina

2179
01:51:25,760 --> 01:51:27,040
Speaker 5: pick up where they left off?

2180
01:51:27,160 --> 01:51:27,360
Speaker 2: Yeah?

2181
01:51:27,360 --> 01:51:31,800
Speaker 5: Because hot it was like, whoa where is this offense

2182
01:51:32,240 --> 01:51:32,880
Speaker 5: coming from?

2183
01:51:32,920 --> 01:51:33,400
Speaker 6: Exactly?

2184
01:51:33,640 --> 01:51:36,280
Speaker 5: Remember how they I know Hendon Hooker got hurt in

2185
01:51:36,360 --> 01:51:40,200
Speaker 5: that game against UT last year, but I didn't expect

2186
01:51:40,200 --> 01:51:44,360
Speaker 5: Spencer Rattler in South Carolina to do Tennessee dirty the

2187
01:51:44,400 --> 01:51:47,639
Speaker 5: way that they did. And then they turned around big Clemson,

2188
01:51:47,640 --> 01:51:51,439
Speaker 5: Who's like what Wow? So I'm really curious if Spencer

2189
01:51:51,520 --> 01:51:54,400
Speaker 5: Rattler and the game Cocks can build off of the

2190
01:51:54,439 --> 01:51:57,639
Speaker 5: way they ended last season. So very much looking forward

2191
01:51:57,680 --> 01:51:59,840
Speaker 5: to that one. Hey, we've got rich Orenberger, Penn stayed

2192
01:51:59,840 --> 01:52:02,240
Speaker 5: all American Maven on the grill.

2193

Speaker 5: Should be in a good mood, all right, let's dive into.

2220
01:53:28,040 --> 01:53:32,799
Speaker 3: This rapid fire.

2221
01:53:34,360 --> 01:53:38,040
Speaker 5: Okay, we'll all have three picks cheered. We'll start with

2222
01:53:38,160 --> 01:53:40,559
Speaker 5: your two and then we get your play of the day.

2223
01:53:40,560 --> 01:53:41,519
Speaker 6: What are you thinking today?

2224
01:53:41,880 --> 01:53:42,240
Speaker 7: All right?

2225
01:53:42,600 --> 01:53:47,000
Speaker 8: My top two sides of the day. TCU lank twenty

2226
01:53:47,040 --> 01:53:48,480
Speaker 8: and a half against Colorado.

2227
01:53:48,640 --> 01:53:48,840
Speaker 7: Again.

2228
01:53:48,880 --> 01:53:51,720
Speaker 8: We talked about this game year two. Joe Gillespie's defense this.

2229
01:53:51,920 --> 01:53:53,160
Speaker 7: Three three five.

2230
01:53:53,280 --> 01:53:57,439
Speaker 8: They're making quicker, more decisive reads and Colorado's offensive line

2231
01:53:57,680 --> 01:54:00,880
Speaker 8: is the big problem point. They are the weak link

2232
01:54:01,000 --> 01:54:03,839
Speaker 8: of this roster. I like Schador Sanders. He's gonna be special,

2233
01:54:03,840 --> 01:54:06,120
Speaker 8: but a tough ass going up against his TCU defense,

2234
01:54:06,320 --> 01:54:07,920
Speaker 8: but I think will be well connected.

2235
01:54:08,040 --> 01:54:09,240
Speaker 7: We're going Florida State.

2236
01:54:09,360 --> 01:54:12,879
Speaker 8: We're catching two and a half points tomorrow night against LSU.

2237
01:54:13,080 --> 01:54:15,280
Speaker 8: I think the Knoles are better in the trenches, especially

2238
01:54:15,360 --> 01:54:17,559
Speaker 8: D line against LSU's O line.

2239
01:54:17,640 --> 01:54:21,080
Speaker 7: I think the Noles slightly better at quarterback with Jordan Travis.

2240
01:54:20,840 --> 01:54:24,080
Speaker 8: And maybe better at head Coach Mike Norvelli's got weapons

2241
01:54:24,080 --> 01:54:27,280
Speaker 8: at his disposal, and I think Florida State gets it done.

2242
01:54:27,320 --> 01:54:28,559
Speaker 7: But I'll take two and a half points in my

2243
01:54:28,560 --> 01:54:29,040
Speaker 7: back pocket.

2244
01:54:29,080 --> 01:54:32,040
Speaker 4: OpenAL, all right, love that I took a goose egg

2245
01:54:32,160 --> 01:54:34,800
Speaker 4: last week. So we're gonna go three for three here.

2246
01:54:35,080 --> 01:54:38,640
Speaker 4: The Nitney Lions will roar out the gates offensively. Allen

2247
01:54:38,680 --> 01:54:41,640
Speaker 4: and Singleton out of the Penn State backfield will slice

2248
01:54:41,680 --> 01:54:44,720
Speaker 4: and dice the Mountaineers defense cover that twenty and a

2249
01:54:44,720 --> 01:54:47,880
Speaker 4: half point spread. Also, there was a one hundred and

2250
01:54:47,960 --> 01:54:52,640
Speaker 4: eight thousand dollars bet placed on Alabama minus thirty nine

2251
01:54:52,640 --> 01:54:55,040
Speaker 4: and a half. I'm following the money, give me the

2252
01:54:55,080 --> 01:54:57,960
Speaker 4: Todd washing over Middle Tennessee and Nick Saban making sure

2253
01:54:58,200 --> 01:55:03,280
Speaker 4: the nation remembers that Bama we're still a threat. Finally,

2254
01:55:03,640 --> 01:55:07,880
Speaker 4: couldn't keep my hands off of that Sunday night football action.

2255
01:55:08,000 --> 01:55:10,640
Speaker 4: And no we're not talking about NFL. We're talking about

2256
01:55:10,800 --> 01:55:15,880
Speaker 4: LSU heading Tallahassee. Tight spread on this one. I'm following

2257
01:55:15,920 --> 01:55:18,720
Speaker 4: with Jared's doing. I love taking a home dog early

2258
01:55:18,760 --> 01:55:21,840
Speaker 4: in the season. This is the perfect opportunity. Give me

2259
01:55:21,840 --> 01:55:24,640
Speaker 4: the Seminoles getting two and a half at home.

2260
01:55:25,600 --> 01:55:29,640
Speaker 6: Okay, I am going to look at Iowa. Give me

2261
01:55:29,640 --> 01:55:30,560
Speaker 6: the first half under.

2262
01:55:31,000 --> 01:55:34,240
Speaker 5: I'm going Utah State Iowa under twenty three and a half.

2263
01:55:35,080 --> 01:55:39,640
Speaker 5: Hopefully it's like Nebraska Minnesota, you know, just a slut fest,

2264
01:55:39,720 --> 01:55:41,840
Speaker 5: especially in the first half. I'm gonna look at this

2265
01:55:41,920 --> 01:55:45,560
Speaker 5: South Carolina North Carolina game. Give me Juice Wells little

2266
01:55:45,640 --> 01:55:49,720
Speaker 5: banged up in the offseason, but stud wide receiver, I'm

2267
01:55:49,720 --> 01:55:52,919
Speaker 5: taking over fifty seven and a half receiving yards.

2268
01:55:53,240 --> 01:55:53,840
Speaker 6: Listen to this.

2269
01:55:54,480 --> 01:55:58,480
Speaker 5: Last two games against Tennessee and Clemson, twenty catches for

2270
01:55:58,560 --> 01:56:01,080
Speaker 5: three hundred and eight yards a couple of touchdowns, So

2271
01:56:01,080 --> 01:56:03,839
Speaker 5: I think he can get to fifty eight receiving yards.

2272
01:56:04,520 --> 01:56:07,880
Speaker 5: And for the last pick, I'm gonna look over to, uh,

2273
01:56:08,480 --> 01:56:10,400
Speaker 5: the other sideline there, Drake May.

2274
01:56:10,520 --> 01:56:12,720
Speaker 6: I hear what you're saying, Jared, about running game.

2275
01:56:13,240 --> 01:56:15,120
Speaker 5: That does maybe a little bit nervous, but I think

2276
01:56:15,200 --> 01:56:17,600
Speaker 5: Drake May is gonna be putting it in the air often.

2277
01:56:17,760 --> 01:56:20,240
Speaker 5: Give me over two sixty nine and a half. He

2278
01:56:20,320 --> 01:56:22,600
Speaker 5: threw for at least two hundred and seventy yards in

2279
01:56:22,640 --> 01:56:25,920
Speaker 5: the first ten games last season. He loses a couple

2280
01:56:25,960 --> 01:56:29,600
Speaker 5: of weapons. I understand that, but South Carolina's defense nothing

2281
01:56:29,640 --> 01:56:32,360
Speaker 5: to write home about. I'm gonna take Drake May to

2282
01:56:32,440 --> 01:56:37,840
Speaker 5: throw for at least two seventy car Let's do this.

2283
01:56:37,840 --> 01:56:40,680
Speaker 3: This is the best play of the days.

2284
01:56:40,240 --> 01:56:45,200
Speaker 6: A touchdowns man. All right, Jared, your play of the day,

2285
01:56:45,240 --> 01:56:45,600
Speaker 6: what is it?

2286
01:56:45,680 --> 01:56:49,680
Speaker 8: Bud under forty nine and a half West Virginia Penn State.

2287
01:56:49,800 --> 01:56:52,080
Speaker 8: This Nitney Lions defense, I'm just gonna call him the

2288
01:56:52,080 --> 01:56:54,000
Speaker 8: top five unit in the country. I think they're gonna

2289
01:56:54,000 --> 01:56:56,400
Speaker 8: be that way all year long, Mannybiaz year two.

2290
01:56:56,480 --> 01:56:57,840
Speaker 7: This scheme is legit.

2291
01:56:57,960 --> 01:57:01,240
Speaker 8: They're hungry, they're competitive, and I don't fully trust either

2292
01:57:01,320 --> 01:57:04,640
Speaker 8: quarterback Drew Aller or the other quarterback for West Virginia

2293
01:57:04,680 --> 01:57:06,680
Speaker 8: and the Mountaineers do not have a lot of weapons

2294
01:57:06,680 --> 01:57:09,040
Speaker 8: coming back on offense. So we're going under forty nine

2295
01:57:09,040 --> 01:57:10,880
Speaker 8: and a half West Virginia Penn State. By the way,

2296
01:57:10,920 --> 01:57:12,640
Speaker 8: I'm keeping track of all the picks. I'll make the

2297
01:57:12,640 --> 01:57:14,800
Speaker 8: spreadsheet live if any you guys want to follow along

2298
01:57:15,120 --> 01:57:16,240
Speaker 8: all season long.

2299
01:57:16,480 --> 01:57:19,360
Speaker 6: Okay you can, It's official now I feel lase.

2300
01:57:19,480 --> 01:57:20,840
Speaker 4: Oh boy, oh ball.
