1 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal hull. For me, I'm a man, 2 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:09,799 Speaker 1: I'm forty. I've heard so many players say, well, I 3 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:10,640 Speaker 1: want to be happy. 4 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 2: You want to be happy for a day? 5 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 3: Edo state is that? 6 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 1: Whoo whoo? And no them and tie Dan River see 7 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,440 Speaker 1: welcome back, my friends. You believe we're at week two? 8 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,760 Speaker 1: All ready? Welcome back? How are you? 9 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 3: I'm good. I was thinking we were going to get 10 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 3: to week two as last week was week one, so 11 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 3: I was feeling good about this week being week two. 12 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 3: I'm really good. Week two is one of my I 13 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,199 Speaker 3: don't know, top five weeks of the season. It's up 14 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 3: there because, as I like to say, all season long, 15 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 3: all off season long, there's no time like week two 16 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 3: in terms of change. There's no better time for teams 17 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 3: to improve and to prove that they're not who they 18 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 3: are in week one than week two. It's real easy 19 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 3: that way. This one is a particularly interesting one. Time 20 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 3: you think, well, so I think, beyond everything, we're just 21 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 3: excited for football. We're excited for the actual football. But 22 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 3: when you look at the matchups from week two, there's 23 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,199 Speaker 3: a certain amount of emotion at play, there's a certain 24 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 3: amount of familiarity, there's a certain amount of tension. There's 25 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 3: a certain amount of uncertainty, like what do we see 26 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 3: from week one? Is that for real? Or what do 27 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 3: we see from week one from a disastrous level? Is 28 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 3: that going to continue? And I was looking at this, 29 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 3: and so you have the emotion of Syhawk, you have 30 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 3: Sharon Moore playing for Oklahoma now coaching at Michigan. You 31 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 3: have the Border War returning, right, You have all these 32 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,479 Speaker 3: little things throughout the sport. And I was thinking to myself, well, 33 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 3: what encapsulates this kind of grouping of teams? That's what 34 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 3: I do every week TI. But like, we've got a 35 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 3: revenge spot with Ole miss Kentucky, with Vanderbilt Virginia Tech. 36 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 3: And there's all sorts of just different kinds of emotions 37 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 3: intensions built into everything we're seeing ahead of us in 38 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 3: week two. And one of those tensions is we haven't 39 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 3: even seen the Border war since two thousand and eleven, 40 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 3: I believe, right correct, that's as you are yourself wearing 41 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 3: some sort of disastrous hue of Missouri yellow. 42 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: Listen, listen, I gotta brighten it up around here. I'm 43 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: always wearing these dark colors. I need to make myself 44 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,399 Speaker 1: stand out in the video frame, So bite your tongue, sir. 45 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 3: No, No, I'm the kids at the birthday party will 46 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 3: appreciate it more than I do. 47 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: Later, Kate did ask me when I came downstairs if 48 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: I was planning on working construction today, because it definitely 49 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: has a fluorescence to it. If you're watching the YouTube 50 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: video at YouTube dot com slash at soide. 51 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 3: I would say, it's, oh, thank you, it's like Chick 52 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 3: fil a sauce yellow, Like I think. 53 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: It's brighter yellow than that. Maybe I'm trying to mix 54 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: it up around here, you know, by the way, speaking 55 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:55,119 Speaker 1: of miszoo yellow. 56 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 3: So the last time I play is twenty eleven. The 57 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 3: last time they played being twenty eleven the number one 58 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 3: song in America. Do you have a guess? Late, No, 59 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 3: twenty eleven. It was a dell okay. And I looked 60 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 3: at the emotions. I looked at the tensions. I have 61 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 3: this as somebody. I think, someone like you Saturday, thank you, 62 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 3: someone like you Colin. There's a history there. There's history there. 63 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 3: And across the board Week two, it's not rivalry week 64 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 3: I don't know. It's it's a couple teams running into 65 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 3: each other that like, oh, God, didn't expect to see 66 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 3: you here. It's only week two and we're already feeling 67 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 3: lots of feelings. But we gotta have someone tighten up 68 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 3: these preambles. Man, I know, I know, there's just so 69 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 3: many different like interesting Matt, like UNLVUCLA has stuff. 70 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: Well, I was looking at it. I mean, you're the 71 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: official naming guru on the show. But I had two options. 72 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,839 Speaker 1: One was stinky line Saturday, okay, because some of these 73 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: lines stink and we'll talk about them as we go through. 74 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: The Other one, and this is more directed at you 75 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: if you're gonna come at me for the shirt. I thought, 76 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: maybe we can call this a scared to compete Saturday 77 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: because you forgot to give a lock last week. 78 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 3: Oh I did. 79 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 1: Okay, you'll get put yourself out there. I don't know, 80 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: but that's true. Giving you the option here to redeem yourself. 81 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: Welcome back in something or someone what is it? Something 82 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: like you? Someone like you? Saturday is upon us. We're 83 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: going to go through on the next hour or so 84 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: with everything you need to know, who needs to prove what. 85 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: In week two, the big games we're gonna talk through 86 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: under the radar games were of course going to give 87 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: you your optimal quad and maybe some other goodies at the 88 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: end of the episode. If you are out there, if 89 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 1: you are looking at this slate, if you are wondering 90 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: to yourself self, when can I go out? When can 91 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: I be amongst the people? We'll get to that a 92 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: little bit later as well. Why don't we start here, though, Dan. 93 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 2: I'm ready time? 94 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: Who had to prove nothing to nobody except yourself? Who 95 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 1: needs to prove what? In Week two? What do you 96 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 1: think of the sound? Did I do better? I thought 97 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: you did really well with that? Yeah, that was really good. 98 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: I dialed up the cinematic like in this lifetime listen 99 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: for the pop on it at the end? 100 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 3: Did you add that. 101 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 1: It was part of the free YouTube thing that I doubted? Nice? Dan? 102 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: Who has the most approven week two man? I, I 103 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: might say, Iowa? Yeah? Why? 104 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 3: Well? Aside from the yellowish hue of your shirt inspiring 105 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 3: me to pick Iowa Gohawks, Iowa States looking good. They 106 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 3: have a signature win over Arrival already under their belts 107 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 3: this season. They came out strong against the Qualities Dakota 108 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 3: team FCS but strong and Iowa did not impress last week, 109 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 3: and they're putting a lot of their hopes and dreams 110 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 3: for twenty twenty five on this new quarterback in this 111 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 3: new passing game, and. 112 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 1: I don't know, man, he didn't leave you inspired with 113 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: forty four yards passing. 114 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 3: That didn't do much for me. I look at these 115 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 3: other teams, like Mississippi State doesn't have a ton to prove. 116 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 3: Michigan with a true freshman quarterback, I don't think has 117 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 3: a ton to prove. You could argue Oklahoma with what 118 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 3: they've invested in their offense against a headline team like Michigan. Yes, 119 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 3: definitely has a lot to prove, but it's Week two 120 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 3: and they can be forgiven for not being fully formed 121 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 3: with all that's new there. But there is something about 122 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 3: Iowa and going to Mark Ronowski, I look, I mean, 123 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 3: I just look at the hopes and dreams of a 124 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 3: lot of these teams. I think it's Iowa. What do 125 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 3: you sing? 126 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: Well, I have four teams, You're actually five teams, okay, 127 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: And I think there is a common thread among all 128 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: of them. My theme this week is that there are 129 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: a bunch of teams that need to prove they can 130 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 1: beat a solid opponent, or at least prove that they've 131 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: got an answer to a question that we pose in 132 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: the preseason. Agree, So case in point, Illinois. Illinois needs 133 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: to prove it can win this game this week on 134 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: the road against Duke. It is I think a tougher 135 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: non conference opponent. Duke's not going to the playoff, but 136 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: there is certainly room in that matchup for some weirdness, 137 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: and especially with the backdrop that we talked about in 138 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: the previews about Illinois. Yeah, look at their second order 139 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: numbers stuff like that. There was a little bit of 140 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: a hint of fools gold there. Yeah, they need to 141 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: win a game like this to prove that they're through 142 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: that patch. 143 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 3: This is definitely a take care of business if you 144 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 3: are indeed top fifteen ish type performance needed from Illinois. 145 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think they're up there. Virginia Tech. 146 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: Virginia Tech needs to prove it can bounce back in 147 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: a big way against a Bull caliber Bull adjacent team 148 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: at home in Vaderbilt. They lost to him last year, 149 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: we lost some lashers. Is a little bit of a 150 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: revenge element as well. But you know, the game this 151 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: past weekend is past Sunday against South Carolina was really 152 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: close most of the way that was not a blowout. 153 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: They played really well defensively, with the exception of that 154 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: punt return in the long past to Nick Harbor. Virginia 155 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: Tech was in that game, albeit a very ugly game 156 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: for most of the way. You lose this one, though, 157 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: if your Brent Priye, it's over before it starts. You 158 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: start zero and two. That's a real problem. Granted, neither 159 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: one of these games is an ACC Conference game, so 160 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: there is clearly some upward mobility there if you can 161 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: get your act together. But I just think the broader 162 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: undercurrent within the Virginia Tech community is one of like, 163 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 1: when is this going to happen? When are we going 164 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: to see the results here? You got to beat Vandy. 165 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: That's weird to say, but yeah, because it's like what 166 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: year is this right got to be? But you got 167 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: to beat Vandy. 168 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 3: Vandy is now a team you have something to prove 169 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 3: about yourself against. Yeah. 170 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 1: I agree the other one here, and it's not so 171 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: much results based, of course, it's always results based in 172 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: the SEC. But I am looking more specifically at Oklahoma 173 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: and its offensive line, Yeah, because it's a huge problem. 174 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: Last year they're going up against a good front seven 175 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: in Michigan at home at night. They need to prove 176 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: that that line can at least move the pile, that 177 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,319 Speaker 1: that line can set up some sort of forward push 178 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: on the ground or at a minimum protect job Materiers 179 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,599 Speaker 1: so that he's not running for his life, because I 180 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: do think Michigan's good upfront, and I do think this 181 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 1: is the big problem for Oklahoma coming into the season. 182 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: They had clearly made it improvements elsewhere, but if they 183 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: can't prove that that line is in good working order, 184 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: it's going to be a problem. Because this is a 185 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: murderer's or of a schedule. Theyve got to get that 186 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: figured out right now, I agree to me. And then 187 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: the last two team teams that I'll throw in here 188 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: maybe a bit out of left field, but James Madison 189 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: and USF and the referendum for them this week is 190 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 1: proving that they belong because the reality of the G 191 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: five conversation. Now, if you take what happened in week 192 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: one and look at it in retrospect, Tulane is probably 193 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 1: head of the class if we're talking bigger picture playoff 194 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:31,559 Speaker 1: type stuff. But jmu USF, if they get strong showings 195 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: this week, doesn't necessarily they need to beat Louisville and 196 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,199 Speaker 1: Florida respectively, Right, But they just need to be close 197 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,319 Speaker 1: enough to prove that they belong so that they can 198 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: stay front of mind as part of that conversation deeper 199 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 1: we get into this schedule. It's especially true I think 200 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,199 Speaker 1: for JMU, given that their schedule is weaker than most 201 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: of their counterparts here on the G five levels. So 202 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: those are five teams for you that I think have 203 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: a lot to prove. Of course there are more. Of course, 204 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: we're going to talk through a bunch of these games 205 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: here in just a moment. But in thinking of that question, 206 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: that's what came to mind first. 207 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 3: I think that's right. I think that's absolutely right in 208 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 3: terms of the provables. There's a lot for a ton 209 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 3: of these teams that we're going to preview that they 210 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 3: have to prove. But like the urgency, I think is 211 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 3: right there with the teams we just mentioned. Honestly, there 212 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 3: is something about Michigan on defense that they can prove 213 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,679 Speaker 3: that they're able to hold up any sort of offensive 214 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:30,439 Speaker 3: deficiencies against Oklahoma if Oklahoma does have the liability of 215 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 3: that offensive line. Once again, I think what Oklahoma has 216 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 3: to prove is you're right that we don't come away 217 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 3: from that game saying, man, Oklahoma looks better, but that 218 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 3: offensive line is still a clear liability. They need to 219 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 3: prove that. We shouldn't say that, and Michigan needs to prove, hey, 220 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 3: you might have a pretty average at best offensive line 221 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 3: on the road to go up against. How are you 222 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 3: going to take advantage, especially of your offense? Isn't scoring 223 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 3: thirty a game that Michigan's defense I think has something 224 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 3: to prove against Oklahoma this week, just not Michigan as 225 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 3: a pro in this moment. 226 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: I mean, after this Michigan game this week on the 227 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: road at Temple, but then it's Auburn at home. Then 228 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: it's another de facto bye week against Kent State before 229 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: they really get into the meat of this SEC schedule. 230 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: And we can talk about that here in just a second. 231 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: Why don't we get to our picks for week two? 232 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: If you're cool with that, plays Dan, time to help 233 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: me week again? It is someone like you Saturday, Dan, 234 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: So beautiful tones. 235 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 3: I totally forgot about. 236 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: That song, by the way, really yeah, I don't know. 237 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 3: It's twenty elevens, fourteen years ago. I know my wife 238 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 3: said Ryadell's entire catalog. Did you know your wife in 239 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 3: twenty eleven? 240 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 1: I just met her in twenty eleven. Actually, yeah, so. 241 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 3: Okay, yeah I had. I had never met my wife, 242 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 3: I had never met my children. I had no idea 243 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:55,839 Speaker 3: where I was going to be living. 244 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: It was. 245 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 3: I was living in La Sti. I hadn't even moved 246 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 3: to New York yet. It was a different time in 247 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 3: my life. Tie, So I have left it all behind. 248 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: I want to know from the verballerhood where they were 249 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: at in week two of the Year of Our Lord 250 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: twenty eleven, twenty eleven.

But we're 258 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: buying this out of our own petty cash because they've 259 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: got a bunch of cool college stuff over there that 260 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: you can go and check out. I know they're very 261 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: popular these days. Some players have been part of their 262 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 1: advertising as well, so they're very much tied into the 263 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: fabric of this whole sport. We will give away a 264 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty dollars gift card to the winner. 265 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: All you gotta do is go on out to verballers 266 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,319 Speaker 1: dot com sign up for any paid tier.

At the very end of this whole thing, 273 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: the top five finishers will get a seat on our 274 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: coveted board of Trustees. So you didn't play last week, 275 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: that's fine. No, it's not well, it's not fine, But 276 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: you can still take that mulligan. You can still take 277 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: your medicine. You can still put in a strong performance 278 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: to the rest of the way and find yourself into 279 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: that board of trustees. But you're running short on time. 280 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: If you want to do that, you're running short on time. 281 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 3: You gotta get there if you want to get on 282 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 3: that board and tell time that, you know, stop wearing 283 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 3: those Charlie Brown shirts. 284 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: You gotta play on the game there. I'm just trying 285 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: to mix it up here. It's still dark in this room. 286 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 3: I understand you. 287 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: We've got to be excited, We've got to be hopeful 288 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: football season is here. That's true. It's it's hard to 289 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: look away from. Thank you very much, appreciate that. I'll 290 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: take that as a compliment. Seven point thirty ABC. We 291 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: talked about this game on the Tuesday episode. We gave 292 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: a longer, more in depth preview of Michigan on the 293 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: road at Oklahoma. We just talked about what Oklahoma and 294 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: Michigan in our view, need to prove coming into week two. Now. Notably, 295 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: when we picked this game on Tuesday, that point spread 296 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: was at six points. Actually we fumbled a little bit. 297 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: I fumbled a little bit because I had an older 298 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: line written down on my sheet. We had to scramble 299 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: in the background, make some edits, you know, as one does. 300 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: Here sure, and on demand media, the line's now down 301 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: to four and a half points. So I think people 302 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: are looking at this, they're betting Michigan, maybe thinking along 303 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: the same lines. Does Michigan have what it takes to 304 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: push Oklahoma round up front. Can that change the timing 305 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: the rhythm of job Matier. Can Ja Mateer go up 306 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: against a front like Michigan and be as successful as 307 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: he's been in the past. These are all very real questions. 308 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: Yeah about this game. Now, you and I both had 309 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: Oklahoma in this one, right, correct. I'd imagine if we 310 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: liked him at six, we like him even more at 311 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: four and a half. That's not really going to change anything. 312 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: But now that you've had about forty eight hours to 313 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: think this one through, is there anything new that you'd 314 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: like to add to your preview or should we just 315 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: prefer people back to what we did. 316 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 3: On team now? I mean, look, so there's always the 317 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 3: possibility in week two that a team with a bigger 318 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 3: game in week two or three is not trying to 319 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 3: show everything or not reveal exactly its intentions on offense 320 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 3: or on defense, and comes out with a vanilla game 321 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 3: plan against an opponent. It sees as clearly lesser that 322 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 3: in Michigan's case. Obviously, the name of the game for 323 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 3: Michigan was just finding comfort for Bryce Underwood. Yeah, that 324 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 3: they weren't going to be a fully weaponized version of 325 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 3: this offense against New Mexico. All due respect to New Mexico, 326 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 3: I think they're going to be at a decent place 327 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 3: eventually under Jason Eck. But that's the concern that any 328 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 3: of the trepidation you have about Michigan's offense after week one, 329 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,719 Speaker 3: which they obviously showed some great things, especially on the ground, 330 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 3: that it's going to grow from there. Intentionally, the problem 331 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 3: is how much sunlight and water are you getting at 332 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 3: night in Norman against this defense with that crowd, you know, 333 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,640 Speaker 3: bearing down over you. So I'm sticking with Oklahoma here 334 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 3: just because situationally, I think it's too advantageous, even if 335 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 3: the offensive line once again is an incredible I just 336 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,439 Speaker 3: I still think Oklahoma will have the opportunity to score 337 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 3: twenty four points and win this game by around ten. 338 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,479 Speaker 1: Yeah. I think I had this one around twenty eight 339 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: to twenty Somewhere in that neighborhood. 340 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 3: I think I said twenty three thirteen something. 341 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 1: There, Yeah, somewhere around there. Look, I like Michigan, like 342 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: what we saw of Bryce underbod. I went back. I 343 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: watched highlights of that a couple times over. Now he 344 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: looks good. He really looks good. He looks the party 345 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: looks legit, but freshman, and this is a really tough 346 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: spot to go on the road and play at night, 347 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,919 Speaker 1: especially for Oklahoma, where I guess, bigger picture in terms 348 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 1: of prove it teams, Oklahoma has way more riding on 349 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 1: this game than Michigan does. Agree, I mean, I just 350 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: don't even think it's close given circumstances in Norman. For 351 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: Brent Venables, clearly he went out took in a bunch 352 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: of transfers. He's trying to ramp this thing up now 353 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,880 Speaker 1: as quickly as he can. Michigan is still somewhat in transition, 354 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 1: moving to a new coach, new quarterback. I think there 355 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 1: is built in expectations there that this is going to 356 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,360 Speaker 1: be a good team. How good they could be, we'll 357 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 1: wait and see. But on the Oklahoma side, he's running 358 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: out of time. So I do think that this is 359 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 1: a really good spot for Oklahoma, having this one at night, 360 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: catching Michigan early with a freshman quarterback. I still do 361 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: have concerns about that line, as mentioned at the very 362 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 1: top of this episode, but I think the playmaking of 363 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 1: Materier is ultimately what propels them. So if you're getting 364 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: in on run the board late and you can get 365 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: this line at a little bit of a better number 366 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 1: if you like. Oklahoma, now will be the time to 367 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: jump in and hopefully we want to see it. It's 368 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: good to me. 369 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 3: Hopefully we see more Jade not than we saw last week. 370 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 3: I think it just had a Carrie yeah, and I 371 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 3: don't know if he was dinged up or whatever happened 372 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,479 Speaker 3: that hopefully we see a little bit more that they 373 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 3: were just being cautious for this week. 374 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: The other game that we talked about on Tuesday, and 375 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: again I don't know if you've had any kind of 376 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,199 Speaker 1: change of heart. The point spread hasn't though unlike the 377 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: first game, it's still minus three in favor of Iowa 378 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,120 Speaker 1: State at home against Iowa. This is a big noon 379 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 1: game at noon on Fox. As you can see from 380 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:39,199 Speaker 1: my queue of you, here go Hawks. I'm sticking to 381 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: my guns. I still stand by the fact that Iowa 382 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 1: can win with a good defense and hopefully a performance 383 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 1: out of one Mark Ronowski that goes for a shade 384 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: over forty four yards. 385 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 3: You do look like you just opened up a corn 386 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 3: dog stand, and I'm not a corn dog person. I'm 387 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 3: with you. Though on this Iowa State feel great about 388 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:06,880 Speaker 3: right here, right now at home Situationally, again, if it's 389 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 3: going to be true of Bryce Underwood, it's gonna be 390 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 3: true of a number of teams. There's no way Iowa's 391 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,640 Speaker 3: passing game looks identical to what it looked like last week, 392 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 3: even though it was against Albany. I think it will improve. 393 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 3: You are never exactly what you are in week one, 394 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 3: even in week two, and if you are, oh, that's 395 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,919 Speaker 3: a lot of problems here. And get your money now, 396 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,400 Speaker 3: because the Iowa lines are going to be weirdly low 397 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 3: until everybody catches up. 398 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: I'm on Iowa outright plus the three. I think they 399 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,919 Speaker 1: win this game twenty one to twenty something close. I 400 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: have to stick to my guns. You know I've been 401 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: all in on. 402 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 3: You don't have to. You've seen new evidence that can 403 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 3: sway you. But what that exists in the world of forensics, 404 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 3: I have. 405 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: But also, Kirk Ferns has been doing this a long 406 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,919 Speaker 1: time days been a successful coach. He's the longest tenured 407 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 1: coach in college football. Maybe a little big gamesman, don't 408 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: want to give too much away. In advance of this game, 409 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 1: they knew they were going to beat the Great Albany. 410 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: They knew that they don't want to give too much 411 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 1: away for what they're going to show this week. 412 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 3: You know, so with all of the available data, and 413 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,959 Speaker 3: you're trying to respect every listener always that decides to 414 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,199 Speaker 3: download this show and give us a listen, give us 415 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 3: their attention, you are going to say that you have 416 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 3: used all of the available information and said they faked 417 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 3: having a bad quarterback. 418 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 1: I think that's what happened. I think, I think I'm 419 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 1: not even sure it was Mark Kronowski in that helmet, Buddy. 420 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:37,959 Speaker 3: Nobody is better at having bad quarterback play unintentionally than 421 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 3: Iowa football, So. 422 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: Then they should excel at it if they're trying to 423 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: do it on purpose, right. 424 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 3: You got to give people a real reason here, Ty, 425 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,719 Speaker 3: if you're going to pick Iowa, listen, give people a 426 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 3: real reason. 427 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 1: I am so heavily invested in Iowa at this point 428 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: in time for me to go back on everything I 429 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: have said over the last two months would be a 430 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: huge betrayal to the forballer hood. 431 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 3: But we quit people of murder when new evidence comes 432 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 3: to light, true, when there's a witness or there's DNA, 433 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 3: I am you can you can take this opportunity. 434 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: Ty, I am sticking to my guns here.

Brother that there 478 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 3: was the hope that he was going to go to Illinois. 479 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 3: He's like a legendary icon of high school basketball here 480 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 3: and esjewed the local school for Duke where he became, 481 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,159 Speaker 3: you know, an icon in his own right and is 482 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 3: now the head coach the coach Duke. Yeah, he's the 483 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 3: head coach of Duke. And I think Duke beat Illinois 484 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,880 Speaker 3: had like the worst beatdown of Illinois basketball history last year, 485 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 3: super Flag. The other thing I not John Shire related 486 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:47,120 Speaker 3: as I was researching Saturday, just in angelic tones, because 487 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 3: I'm looking for this scar tissue. I'm looking for this 488 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 3: bad blood to support my theory that there's a lot 489 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 3: of unease, intention and heartbreak in the air. Who was 490 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 3: the defensive coordinator for Luke Altmeyer's clear worst game ever? 491 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,400 Speaker 3: Is Illinois starting quarterback? 492 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: That would be Manny Diaz. 493 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 3: Manny Diaz. Lu Laumar got benched going against Manny Diaz 494 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 3: through four picks.

Explain yourself. 501 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 1: We talked about this when we preview the ACC. Duke's 502 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 1: in a weird position right now, and it's it's weird 503 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 1: if only because it's under the radar, maybe one of 504 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 1: the more reliable mid tier teams the ACC. And this 505 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,120 Speaker 1: is one of those games that the set at the top. 506 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,400 Speaker 1: Illinois's got to have this man like if it fashions 507 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: itself as a playoff contender, even a conference contender at 508 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: a minimum, they got to prove that what we saw 509 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: last year was not fools gold and that they could 510 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: go on the road against a good team and win. 511 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: And I think Duke is a good team, and I'm 512 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 1: saying this is somebody who's got Illinois as like a 513 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: fringe playoff team. I like Illinois a lot, but I 514 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 1: think this is a tough spot for them. The weird 515 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: part in looking over both these teams is how much 516 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 1: they have in common. Actually, there's a lot here. There's 517 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 1: two teams with a ton back, two good duel threat quarterbacks, 518 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,919 Speaker 1: two teams with questions out wide. There are two reasons 519 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: where I liked, Why I like Duke and why I 520 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: like him outright. The first is that Illinois had no 521 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: pass rush last season whatsoever. Now that's not to say 522 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 1: they won't get better. They had four sacks last week, 523 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: albeit against you know, the team that is not the 524 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 1: caliber of Duke. But was it Western Illinois something like that. Yeah, 525 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 1: I am not too high on giving Darien Mensa a 526 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: whole lot of time. Like I legit think he's one 527 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 1: of the ten best quarterbacks in college football at least 528 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: has that kind of potential. I don't like letting him 529 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: sit back there and pick apart a team a great 530 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 1: and I think there's possibility here that that could happen. 531 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 1: And then the second thing is to your point from earlier, 532 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 1: like it was Havoc City in Durham last year, they 533 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: had forty three sacks, one hundred and sixteen tackles for loss. 534 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: And I cannot overlook the fact that they have a 535 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: real ability with Manny Diaz at the helm, to change 536 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 1: the game with an aggressive, attacking, playmaking defense. Sure, so 537 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: I think this is tight. I think this is a 538 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 1: good game. I've got this one at Duke twenty two twenty, 539 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: winning at home, pulling the upset. 540 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,400 Speaker 3: I'm with you. I think I'm going Duke here as well. 541 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 3: So the concern here is Duke needs to be able 542 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 3: to run the ball. They were a terrible running team 543 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:08,439 Speaker 3: last week. They showed a little bit. I think they 544 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 3: beat Elon last week, and they did it largely. It 545 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 3: was actually a pretty balanced effort. But they need to 546 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 3: be able to prove to everybody that they can run 547 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:18,880 Speaker 3: this year, and Illinois needs to prove they can stop 548 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 3: the run up front. Illinois was less than stellar last year. 549 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:23,880 Speaker 3: You talked about the past rush. They were not good 550 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 3: defending the run last year. I like the idea that 551 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,920 Speaker 3: Duke is not a particularly deep team. This is when 552 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 3: to succeed if you're a Duke, right when you're at 553 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 3: your healthiest, early on in September. So I'm going Duke 554 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 3: because I think quarterback is probably even I really like 555 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 3: Luke Altmeyer, but I Darien Mensa at home. I like 556 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 3: where this Duke offense is heading. I think Illinois is 557 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 3: gonna be a good team this year. I'm just not 558 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 3: sold on great yet. So I'm going Duke here. I 559 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 3: think they're able to frustrate once again. Luke Altmeyer not 560 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 3: to the level where he was against Penn State. It's 561 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 3: just a different talent he's throwing into uh when he's 562 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 3: playing Penn State. So I'm going Duke here. I think situationally, 563 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 3: it's the play and I think they're going to be 564 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 3: really strong against this Illinois defense. 565 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 1: So we agree. We agree. Let's go to three point 566 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 1: thirty ESPN two. Kansas on the road at Miszoo. They 567 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: call it the Border War. Yes, it is a rivalry game. 568 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 1: As you said at the top, it has not been 569 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 1: played since twenty eleven. What do we do in rivalry games? 570 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 1: You gotta throw out those records. Kansas two and o 571 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: Miszoo one to oh, doesn't matter. It's a rivalry game. 572 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 1: We got Missoo favored by six and one half points. Dan, 573 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 1: what's your gut? Tell you here? 574 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 3: My gut is actually Kansas, even though I love Miszoo 575 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 3: this season overall and it's scheduled. My gut is the 576 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 3: way Kansas has come out and played defense. Now, their 577 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 3: opponents haven't been great, it's a first year Fresno State 578 00:29:55,720 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 3: team whatever, but they've been no nonsense on defense. They've 579 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 3: moved the ball ridiculously well and there is something a 580 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 3: little bit scary to me about there being too much 581 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 3: emotion and too much pressure on Miszoo at home with 582 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 3: this renewed rivalry game where Kansas can go into it 583 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 3: as like a business trip and Miszoo has something to 584 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 3: prove in front of its home fans. And it's Bo 585 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 3: Pribula's first start against an FBS team, a real team, 586 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 3: a legit team. And there's also like Sam Horn's hurt now, right, 587 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 3: So how comfortable they're going to be running Bo Pribula 588 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 3: knowing that there's not anything proven behind him, Like, I 589 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 3: think I'm going Kansas here outright, just to cover I 590 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 3: think I'm going Kansas outright. I think I have Kansas 591 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 3: thirty one to twenty eight. 592 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, that's that's that spicy. 593 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 3: It's a little bit of I like Miszoo. I do 594 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 3: like Miszoo. I think there is something fun about can 595 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,719 Speaker 3: this being in more of a rhythm. Given that they 596 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 3: played a real program in week one, I think they 597 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 3: had they'd certainly have the quarterback seasoning advantage. 598 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 1: I mean it was in J Warner Rebula one, So 599 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 1: just kind of commit that to time. I'm with you, 600 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: But DJ Warner didn't play defense, true, So I don't know. 601 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: I think Kansas is a little bit more rhythmic right now. 602 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: And I think the vibes are so high in Columbia 603 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 1: right now with Bo Pribulah and looking as good as 604 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 1: they did on offense, that this is going to be 605 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: the Week one to Week two come down. Wow, that's 606 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: like four out of five and a Thai restaurant right there. 607 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 3: Thank you very much. 608 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: You got appropriate level of Spicer and those peppers. Yeah. Man, 609 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: I I'm actually I'm gonna go Miszoo outright, but I'm 610 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 1: going to take Kansas to cover. And that's a little 611 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: bit of a cop out, but I had a little 612 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 1: bit of the same thing going all where I was 613 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 1: flip flopping on this one all morning when I was 614 00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: trying to put this together. I think the problem on 615 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 1: the Kansas side is a completely new at linebacker b 616 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: secondary that's in transition. Sure, and you can get away 617 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 1: with that against a lot of teams, especially if you're 618 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 1: able to play offense. And I still think Kansas will 619 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: be pretty good at running the football this year. They've 620 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 1: got a good backfield, they've got Jalen Daniels. They will 621 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 1: find ways to utilize that control clock. It's not going 622 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: to be like a NASCAR offense. You can't, like we 623 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 1: could throw that out. But Miszoo can go more run 624 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 1: heavy now with Prabulah as the guy. Sure, and it's 625 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 1: easy to forget about Amad Hardy, who only had ten 626 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 1: carries a week ago but went for one hundred yards. 627 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 1: The combination of those two guys now in a real 628 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: game against a real team, a rivalry game that they 629 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,560 Speaker 1: want to win, you can do some stuff with them, man, 630 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 1: and you can put a lot of strain on the 631 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: second and third level of the defense in doing so. Sure, 632 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 1: and so I think that, and in particular, is what 633 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: I like the most in this game. I do think 634 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 1: Kansas is going to be plucky as hell all season long. 635 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 1: This is gonna be vintage Lancelide pulled Kansas. I e. 636 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 1: They're gonna be a pain in the ass. Right. So 637 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 1: I think Miszoo wins, but I could absolutely see Kansas 638 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 1: keeping this one closer, maybe even pulling the upset. I 639 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 1: got it. I got more points than you. I've got 640 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 1: thirty five thirty one, Missoo winning Kansas covering. Okay, we 641 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: just agree, let's go to seven thirty ESPN two. Speaking 642 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: of stinky line Saturdays, what's this Arizona State minus six 643 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 1: and a half? That's it on the road at Mississippi State. Dan, 644 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 1: Here is the important context. This is why I'm shrugging 645 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 1: in my bright yellow shirt. Please which team had the 646 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 1: lowest win total in all the SEC last year? This year? 647 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:01,720 Speaker 1: Coming into the season, Vegas expected the least. Oh yeah, okay, 648 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: SEC team. I Assumesissippi State three and a half was there? 649 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 1: Over under, they were the lowest in the conference, Arizona State. 650 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 1: If you saw the latest poll, they're number twelve in 651 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 1: the country, universally viewed as a contender in the Big twelve. 652 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 1: Why is this line so low? Why is this is 653 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 1: ringing around in my head as I'm looking at this game, 654 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, what does our friend Tim Murray? What do 655 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,839 Speaker 1: our friends in the desert? What do they know that 656 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,320 Speaker 1: we don't? Why is this line under a touchdown? 657 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 3: To be clear, Tim Murray does not set lines. 658 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,280 Speaker 1: He doesn't, but he's adjacent to the people that that's true. 659 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 1: What do they know Dan, that they're not telling us? 660 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 3: It's week two. It's a difficult place to play that 661 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 3: the best of Mississippi State might be interesting despite a 662 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 3: slow start last week that Arizona State relied on Camp 663 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 3: Scataboo for two hundred and sixty two yards in this matchup. 664 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,799 Speaker 3: Last year, it was the game of the season, I guess, 665 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 3: leading up other than the Iowa State game in the 666 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 3: Big Twelve championship game. And they didn't run away from 667 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,239 Speaker 3: Mississippi State last year with cam Scatta. But what was 668 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:06,799 Speaker 3: the final score? 669 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:07,319 Speaker 1: Last year? 670 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 3: They won by let single digits? I believe, Yeah, they 671 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:16,440 Speaker 3: won by a touchdown. So the thinking is this year's 672 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:20,320 Speaker 3: Arizona State team, like everybody else, is not fully formed. 673 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,720 Speaker 3: You're going to a difficult place to play your first 674 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 3: road game, and there is talent on this Mississippi State roster. 675 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,399 Speaker 3: They should be improved from where they were last year. 676 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 3: They're not going to be incredible, but situationally, it's not 677 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 3: horrible for the Bulldogs. 678 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,280 Speaker 1: But what if they're horrible? That's what I keep coming 679 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 1: back to. 680 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 3: I'm totally with you. 681 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:45,839 Speaker 1: I don't think they can be as horrible as they 682 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,399 Speaker 1: were last year, right because they took in a bunch 683 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,880 Speaker 1: of transfers and they're definitely I mean, there's more than 684 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:53,279 Speaker 1: enough evidence that what's the rule? 685 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 3: The rule is if your flummex by a line, lean 686 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:57,319 Speaker 3: into it. 687 00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,399 Speaker 1: Right. I can't, though I can in good faith into 688 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 1: this and for as much as I believe down into 689 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 1: my marrow that the people doing this and paying the 690 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:11,759 Speaker 1: bills doing this out in Vegas are smarter than us 691 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 1: two idiots. Sure, The only reason I would take Mississippi 692 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 1: State is because either the line stinks and is making 693 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:24,040 Speaker 1: me second guess it, or because I had some epiphany, 694 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 1: or Mississippi State showed me some epiphany and either Blake 695 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,920 Speaker 1: Shaping or the ground game or the defense, or something 696 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 1: popped in week one to make me feel otherwise. It 697 00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 1: is good that Blake Shapen is healthy. That's a bonus. 698 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 1: It is good that the backfield should be solid. I 699 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,879 Speaker 1: think that's going to be the meat of this offense. Right, 700 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:49,319 Speaker 1: But this was a historically bad defense a year ago, 701 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 1: and even though they brought in transfers and they should 702 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 1: be better, it's still a lot to expect. It's just 703 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 1: gonna click now, you know. It did? Like last week 704 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 1: that was close for a half that game until they 705 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:04,520 Speaker 1: got moved, until they figured it out. They're not alone 706 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,560 Speaker 1: in that category. Half of college football took a half 707 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,920 Speaker 1: to get going. So we can't really even hold that 708 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,920 Speaker 1: against them. But if they had gone out and blown 709 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:16,359 Speaker 1: the doors off of Southern miss maybe then maybe then 710 00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,120 Speaker 1: I'd be like, Okay, I kind of get I got 711 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 1: asu by ten. I can't realistically throw my hat in 712 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 1: the ring on the Mississippi state side. 713 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:29,920 Speaker 3: Hot rain in the forecast, by the way, for Starkville rain, Well, 714 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:31,279 Speaker 3: I think it's going to be a hot day and 715 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:32,520 Speaker 3: there's rain in the forecast. 716 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:34,759 Speaker 1: Okay, so a bit of a soupy atmosphere. 717 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:38,440 Speaker 3: You're thinking soupy stanky Starkville. Yeah, okay, I don't know 718 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,960 Speaker 3: if it's super stanky sloppy Starkville as well. 719 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:41,400 Speaker 1: Could be. 720 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,359 Speaker 3: I don't get the line either. I'm leaning into it. 721 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 3: I'm going plus points with the home team literal home dogs. 722 00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,319 Speaker 1: Are they your home dog of the week? No, no, 723 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:53,160 Speaker 1: is Duke your home dog the week? Or do you 724 00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 1: have another one? I have another one? Oh, let's do 725 00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 1: some quick hits. Shall we do a speed run here? 726 00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:04,440 Speaker 1: Also at seven thirty ACC Network, this is Vanderbilt, this 727 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:08,479 Speaker 1: is Virginia Tech. At last look, this is a one 728 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,799 Speaker 1: point line in favor of Virginia Tech. Dan bit of 729 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:14,719 Speaker 1: a revenge spot as we talked about earlier, this is 730 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 1: one that went to overtime a year ago. I did 731 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:22,239 Speaker 1: read some positive updates on Terry and Stewart. The big 732 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,840 Speaker 1: running back transfer came to Blacksburg from Bowling Green. That 733 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 1: would be a really nice boost for this backfield. They 734 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,320 Speaker 1: could get him back and healthy. They didn't have him 735 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:32,759 Speaker 1: in that South Carolina game. I guess it remains to 736 00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:34,919 Speaker 1: be seen whether that would have changed anything because South 737 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 1: Carolina was pretty dominant, sure with their defensive front, But. 738 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:44,759 Speaker 3: Who you got. I went back and forth with I 739 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 3: think Vanderbilt's better. Really, honestly, I just think Vanderbilt's better. 740 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,960 Speaker 3: I mean, you can't take their Week one results. They 741 00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,719 Speaker 3: took air business obviously. I think they have the quarterback advantage. 742 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:58,200 Speaker 3: I think Virginia Tech will not be as sloppy in 743 00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,960 Speaker 3: as many phases as they were. You're going to see improvement. 744 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,080 Speaker 3: You mentioned the health thing. You're going to see improvement 745 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,799 Speaker 3: from week one to week two. I just think if 746 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:09,719 Speaker 3: this is going to be a relatively close game, like 747 00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:11,800 Speaker 3: the line indicates, why would you take Virginia Tech in 748 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:15,200 Speaker 3: a relatively close game? If I think it's going to 749 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,640 Speaker 3: be close. If I think these teams are relatively even matched. 750 00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 3: Why would you go with Virginia Tech in a close 751 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:25,400 Speaker 3: game after what we've seen from them? So I'm going Vandy. 752 00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,439 Speaker 1: These are some hard trews that you're bringing out today, 753 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,320 Speaker 1: you know that. Yeah, whether you're talking about the shirt 754 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,239 Speaker 1: or you're talking about the sound, talking about the week, 755 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 1: or talking about Virginia Tech. Right, I'm going to say 756 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,480 Speaker 1: something here that actually makes me sad. There was like 757 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 1: a visceral sadness when I jotted this down in my 758 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:42,920 Speaker 1: note sheet. But you have to close your dippin' dots 759 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,600 Speaker 1: location I did, Yeah, I did. Times are tough man 760 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:46,280 Speaker 1: in this economy. 761 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,719 Speaker 3: You know you're still wearing the shirt though, continue. 762 00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:54,400 Speaker 1: This is an act of self preservation to say this. Okay, okay, 763 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,640 Speaker 1: does a show about honesty. I like Virginia Tech. I'm 764 00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,720 Speaker 1: going to bat for Virginia Tech. Went on these Suns 765 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,680 Speaker 1: of Saturday podcast a few weeks back, a great team podcast. 766 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,640 Speaker 1: Love those guys. They do an awesome job. Talk through 767 00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 1: Virginia Tech. Why I was high on Virginia Tech. I 768 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:14,240 Speaker 1: am picking Virginia Tech here. If they lose, though, I'm out. 769 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:18,719 Speaker 1: I am that's atably out before the ACC season even now, 770 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,360 Speaker 1: I'm out. I'm fully out. This is a Vandy team 771 00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,719 Speaker 1: that leads the SEC in returning production. They are a 772 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 1: good team, but they're over under is like five and 773 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:31,440 Speaker 1: a half or it was coming into this season. If 774 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:35,399 Speaker 1: they played in the ACC seven to eight win team, 775 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:39,319 Speaker 1: you think is that fair? Sure, I think they'd be 776 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 1: a pretty good team if they played in the ACC. 777 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:46,560 Speaker 1: But this is not a great team. It isn't and 778 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,840 Speaker 1: this is not a team that Virginia Tech should lose to. 779 00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:53,640 Speaker 1: It just isn't. Dan So Tech should be able to 780 00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:55,799 Speaker 1: move the ball through the air. I think it should 781 00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 1: be there. I think Aiden Green, they're wide out who 782 00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 1: I love, should have a big game. There is absolutely 783 00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:07,120 Speaker 1: no reason why Kyen Drones shouldn't have a really good 784 00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 1: stat line coming out of this one. I'm not saying 785 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,200 Speaker 1: it's got to be thirty to thirty five, but it 786 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,360 Speaker 1: shouldn't be fifteen for thirty five like it was a 787 00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,880 Speaker 1: week ago. It just can't be. It can't be if 788 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:20,239 Speaker 1: you're Brent Pride. So I don't know what they gotta do, 789 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:22,400 Speaker 1: all right, I don't know. I don't know what the 790 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,640 Speaker 1: voodoo is this week to kind of get the team 791 00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,520 Speaker 1: on the same page and get rid of the dumb 792 00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 1: mistakes and all that from a week ago. 793 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:29,960 Speaker 3: I'm with you. 794 00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,480 Speaker 1: I am on Tech here. If they lose, I am out. 795 00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:38,239 Speaker 1: I will personally start the John Gruden rumors. Okay, I 796 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:43,399 Speaker 1: will personally any rumors. Whoever bring back Fuentes, doesn't matter, 797 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:47,799 Speaker 1: do that, don't do that, whatever it takes. I am 798 00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,560 Speaker 1: out if they lose. That is my referendum. 799 00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,840 Speaker 3: It's also a letdown spot for Virginia Tech, right, it 800 00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:58,759 Speaker 3: could be. Yeah, a little lethargic after losing against a 801 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,960 Speaker 3: high profile team last week on a neutral site NFL stadium. Okay, 802 00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:03,560 Speaker 3: I'm in on Vandy. 803 00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:08,840 Speaker 1: Let's go twelve o'clock high noon on the c dub Okay, 804 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,200 Speaker 1: Baylor on the road at SMU. SMU favored by three. 805 00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:16,840 Speaker 1: This is a thousand percent going to be a shootout. 806 00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:20,919 Speaker 1: Thousand percent a shootout coming here. 807 00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:21,439 Speaker 3: Yeah. 808 00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,560 Speaker 1: I'm terrified that they're going to put Kevin Jennings on 809 00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:29,040 Speaker 1: the run and they're going to skewer Baylor the way 810 00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:32,719 Speaker 1: that Jackson Arnold did. Now, that's not quite Kevin Jennings game. 811 00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,959 Speaker 1: He's not maybe as much of a runner though he can. 812 00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,520 Speaker 1: I think that will be there for SMU, and I 813 00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,200 Speaker 1: think points will be easier to come by than the 814 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:46,880 Speaker 1: Baylor Faithful with one. My SMU theory this year is 815 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:48,319 Speaker 1: that they're going to take a step back because they 816 00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:53,640 Speaker 1: lost a lot. But if you kind of think it 817 00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:55,960 Speaker 1: through and you know what they've got on the other side, 818 00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,399 Speaker 1: like this should be a game where Baylor can get 819 00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,880 Speaker 1: some stuff going. Yeah, I think especially on the ground. 820 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:04,319 Speaker 1: We tend to think a lot of Sawyer Robertson through 821 00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,040 Speaker 1: the air, but I think Baylor can get it going 822 00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:09,839 Speaker 1: on the ground. I'm inclined to take the points here 823 00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:12,880 Speaker 1: because I like doing that in a shootout, but I 824 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,560 Speaker 1: also think Baylor is the better team, So I think 825 00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:17,279 Speaker 1: a lot of points. I think it's close for a while. 826 00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,440 Speaker 1: I think Baylor pulls away late. I've got it at 827 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:21,480 Speaker 1: forty two thirty one, Baylor with the win. 828 00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:24,319 Speaker 3: See, I think there's a lot of points here. But 829 00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:29,120 Speaker 3: if the clear worst part of what appears to be 830 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:34,360 Speaker 3: these two teams is Baylor's defense after last week, and 831 00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:37,080 Speaker 3: everybody should be extended to grace get better between week 832 00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,400 Speaker 3: one and week two. I'm just not sure that what 833 00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:44,520 Speaker 3: I saw from Baylor's defense against Auburn is immediately fixable 834 00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:50,040 Speaker 3: going against a really good quarterback in Kevin Jennings. So 835 00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:52,400 Speaker 3: I'm with you, SMU takes a step back. I think 836 00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:53,920 Speaker 3: there are going to be a lot of points. But 837 00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,040 Speaker 3: I think it's almost similar to what happened last week 838 00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:59,160 Speaker 3: against Auburn. I think RHT Lashley is a really good coach. 839 00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,440 Speaker 3: I still think even with the new guys on offense, 840 00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,719 Speaker 3: that there there's gonna be a productive offense. Okay, so 841 00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,520 Speaker 3: it's not a crazy road trip obviously going from Waco 842 00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,959 Speaker 3: to Dallas, but I still have SMU as the home 843 00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:14,879 Speaker 3: team winning this game. I don't know, forty one to 844 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,200 Speaker 3: thirty something like that. 845 00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,840 Speaker 1: We made this road trip up from I guess we 846 00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,000 Speaker 1: started in Austin. In Austin, yeah, and drove our way 847 00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:25,320 Speaker 1: up to Waco. Is where we stopped. 848 00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:27,960 Speaker 3: I think we stopped at the at the Bucket the 849 00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,440 Speaker 3: BUCkies in Temple. It wasn't it's not far from Waco. 850 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:34,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, if you are making this journey and you stop 851 00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,480 Speaker 1: at that BUCkies, send us a picture on our Twitter 852 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:40,640 Speaker 1: account it's good BUCkies, or tag us on an Instagram 853 00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:43,320 Speaker 1: or something. Yeah, that was my first BUCkies experience. Same 854 00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:44,160 Speaker 1: and we tried that. 855 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:45,600 Speaker 3: Actually, that's not true. I've been a couple. 856 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:47,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, what was the popcorn thing that we tried? The 857 00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:48,759 Speaker 1: BUCkies corn. 858 00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,279 Speaker 3: They're like beaver nuggets. I want to say I tried that. 859 00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,280 Speaker 3: It was like instant heart attack. 860 00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. If I had like another handful, I would have 861 00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,960 Speaker 1: had to pull over. That was That was a heavy experience. Yeah, 862 00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:04,360 Speaker 1: it was about forty minutes south of Waco. Beaver Nuggets 863 00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,840 Speaker 1: were the worst part of that journey for me. BUCkies 864 00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:11,440 Speaker 1: was incredible, but BUCkies was great. But yeah, the beaver Nuggets, 865 00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:17,640 Speaker 1: that was not for me. Three thirty ABC Another revenge game. 866 00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:19,800 Speaker 1: Isn't it Old Miss at Kentucky? 867 00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:20,960 Speaker 3: Yeah? Of course it is. 868 00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:25,480 Speaker 1: Ole Miss favored by ten on the road. They had 869 00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:29,839 Speaker 1: the inexplicable loss last year to Kentucky. It definitely flew 870 00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:31,920 Speaker 1: in their face when they tried to talk playoff at 871 00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:35,080 Speaker 1: the end of the year. I'm just fully out on 872 00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:40,279 Speaker 1: Kentucky right now. I'm fully out. And Okay, realistically, what 873 00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:41,680 Speaker 1: have they got to score to beat Old Miss in 874 00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:44,920 Speaker 1: this one? Like thirty points? You think twenty eight points last. 875 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,719 Speaker 3: Year was only twenty last year? Miss team? 876 00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:49,759 Speaker 1: What about the Okay, so you think it's lower than 877 00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:52,680 Speaker 1: thirty You think it's lower than twenty eight. How much 878 00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:54,080 Speaker 1: did they need to score in order to win. 879 00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:59,719 Speaker 3: In this year's matchup after the bad blood from last season. 880 00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,840 Speaker 1: Unless they can go back and replay last year, right, Yes, 881 00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:03,560 Speaker 1: this year. 882 00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:06,360 Speaker 3: I think Ole Miss is going to be especially motivated. 883 00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,040 Speaker 3: I think if I were to feel good about Kentucky 884 00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:14,120 Speaker 3: winning this game outright, I would have to be assured 885 00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:19,759 Speaker 3: that they can score thirty. I don't think you can 886 00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:20,520 Speaker 3: assure me of that. 887 00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,360 Speaker 1: I've got Old Miss lock of the week, luck of 888 00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:30,160 Speaker 1: the week, and I hate doing it. Yeah, road game 889 00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:33,880 Speaker 1: in the SEC, but I just I'm not feeling it 890 00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,440 Speaker 1: with Kentucky. I don't think they've got the firepower to 891 00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:38,719 Speaker 1: score enough to win this one, even a cover I've 892 00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:42,240 Speaker 1: got at thirty one seventeen in favor of Old Miss 893 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:48,000 Speaker 1: and bigger picture. Yeah, if we were to reinstitute the 894 00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:51,239 Speaker 1: old drive for three to twenty five that Iowa had 895 00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:55,919 Speaker 1: two years ago, now, I guess, but we were using 896 00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:59,319 Speaker 1: that on the Kentucky side, Yeah, would you bet the over? 897 00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:09,000 Speaker 3: No? Now, Look, they're going to improve, which is not 898 00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,120 Speaker 3: something you could have said about Kentucky last season. 899 00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:12,240 Speaker 1: Correct. 900 00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:15,920 Speaker 3: I think Kentucky's defense will be pretty good this year, sure, 901 00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,520 Speaker 3: and that can be enough to cover this game. There's 902 00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,439 Speaker 3: a lot new there's there are ole Miss offensive line 903 00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:27,160 Speaker 3: questions this year. Scoring twenty five a game I'm not 904 00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:30,920 Speaker 3: in on after seeing the passing quote unquote attack against 905 00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:31,800 Speaker 3: Toledo from last. 906 00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:35,440 Speaker 1: They scored twenty four against Toledo. Yeah, and there are 907 00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:38,960 Speaker 1: a bunch of teams in this schedule with really good defenses. 908 00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:41,480 Speaker 1: I mean, they're gonna have to if if they're gonna 909 00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:43,920 Speaker 1: hit that three to twenty five, I'll keep track of it. 910 00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,200 Speaker 1: What the hell they have? Ye twenty five points per 911 00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:49,440 Speaker 1: game over thirteen games would get you to three twenty 912 00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:51,799 Speaker 1: five over the courts of the season. They would need 913 00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:54,200 Speaker 1: to run it up in Week three against East Michigan 914 00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:56,520 Speaker 1: Eastern Michigan. They would need to run it up a 915 00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:59,560 Speaker 1: little bit later in the year against Tennessee Tech. But 916 00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:02,640 Speaker 1: the rest of the way South Carolina, Georgia both on 917 00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:06,680 Speaker 1: the road, Texas and Tennessee both at home, Auburn on 918 00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:10,560 Speaker 1: the road, Florida at home close out the year at 919 00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,279 Speaker 1: Vandy at Louisville. Got to win those two. I'm not 920 00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,680 Speaker 1: in on Kentucky as a bowl team at all. I'm 921 00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:19,359 Speaker 1: just done with this team. But those are a lot 922 00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:23,160 Speaker 1: of tough defenses on that schedule. Even Vandy should have 923 00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,680 Speaker 1: a decent defense with all that they have back, especially 924 00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:29,640 Speaker 1: by that point in the season. So for as fun 925 00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:32,080 Speaker 1: as it was with Iowa, and as big of a 926 00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:35,239 Speaker 1: punchline as it ended up being on the Brian Farrence side, yeah, 927 00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:38,600 Speaker 1: if we extend that a little bit out and go 928 00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:41,640 Speaker 1: a little bit farther south and east, I think there's 929 00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,520 Speaker 1: a question there about Kentucky what they can do on offense. Again, 930 00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:46,680 Speaker 1: I'm locking up Old Miss. I got it at thirty 931 00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:49,160 Speaker 1: one seventeen. I don't think, I Meancky has what it 932 00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:50,200 Speaker 1: takes to score with these guys. 933 00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,960 Speaker 3: So the question with Ole Miss is is their offense 934 00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,160 Speaker 3: fully formed or how close to fully formed? Is this 935 00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:58,520 Speaker 3: offense with Austin Simmons and offensive line questions, I think 936 00:48:58,520 --> 00:48:59,880 Speaker 3: their skill is going to be fine. You see, har 937 00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:03,120 Speaker 3: Wallace went off last week, yep, yep, get to that 938 00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:04,160 Speaker 3: winning place. 939 00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:09,920 Speaker 1: Crazy, absolutely crazy, So God, I. 940 00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:11,560 Speaker 3: Don't think it's fully formed. He threw a couple as 941 00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:13,480 Speaker 3: Simons threw a couple picks. I think only one was 942 00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:18,080 Speaker 3: his fault. I was really searching for reasons to go 943 00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:21,880 Speaker 3: double digit dog at home, but I don't have it. 944 00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:23,760 Speaker 3: Thirty to thirteen Ole miss. 945 00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:26,200 Speaker 1: Three more quick. Let's speed run these Let's get to 946 00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:31,399 Speaker 1: a few under the radar games. Okay, I mentioned this one, 947 00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:34,480 Speaker 1: but Friday, seven pm ESPN two, James Madison on the 948 00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:37,400 Speaker 1: road at Louisville. This line is about fourteen in favor 949 00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:40,520 Speaker 1: of Louisville. This is a de facto national championship situation 950 00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:41,560 Speaker 1: for JMU. 951 00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:42,879 Speaker 3: Except it's not at home. 952 00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:45,880 Speaker 1: Not home, right, But they they got to keep this 953 00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:48,480 Speaker 1: one close at a minimum if they want to be 954 00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,359 Speaker 1: taken seriously come playoff time. This is their one big 955 00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:53,760 Speaker 1: shot against a non con team. 956 00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:54,479 Speaker 3: That's true. 957 00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:57,160 Speaker 1: And I think this is a crazy interesting matchup because 958 00:49:57,760 --> 00:49:59,600 Speaker 1: JMU is going to try running the crap out of 959 00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:02,680 Speaker 1: the ball. They had forty four carries over three hundred yards. 960 00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,919 Speaker 1: They had four touchdowns last weekend's Weber State Weaver State. 961 00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:11,240 Speaker 1: My theory when we did a preview was that Bobby 962 00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:15,360 Speaker 1: Chesney was gonna run the ever loving daylight side of 963 00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:17,239 Speaker 1: the football and he wanted to beat your brains in 964 00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,759 Speaker 1: on the ground. Yeah, and if they can get that 965 00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:23,520 Speaker 1: going against Louisville, which I'm not sure they can, but 966 00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:26,520 Speaker 1: if they try and if they have success, they can 967 00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:30,399 Speaker 1: milk the clock, they can shorten the game, and I 968 00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:34,439 Speaker 1: think they can, which is why I'm going Dukes plus 969 00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:38,319 Speaker 1: fourteen here. I really like this team, so if this 970 00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:40,759 Speaker 1: comes back to bite me, so be it. I don't 971 00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,920 Speaker 1: think their defense is good enough to win outright. It's 972 00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:46,680 Speaker 1: a good defense for the Sun Belt. I don't know 973 00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:49,879 Speaker 1: if it's good enough to hold down Louisville. I think 974 00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:53,400 Speaker 1: this is a good game. Maybe a backdoor cover situation. 975 00:50:56,560 --> 00:51:00,480 Speaker 1: I got it at something like thirty five twenty seven Louisville. 976 00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:02,560 Speaker 3: Louisville's my lock of the week. 977 00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:06,040 Speaker 1: Whoa bluck of the week? 978 00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:10,560 Speaker 3: I think they're gonna destroy him. 979 00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:12,239 Speaker 1: Wow. 980 00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:14,680 Speaker 3: I just think you have to look again. I've using 981 00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:18,000 Speaker 3: the term fully formed, and this is the first real 982 00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:21,960 Speaker 3: game for both of these teams. But at home, JAMU 983 00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:26,200 Speaker 3: is gonna have Louisville's attention. I don't love Miller Moss, 984 00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:29,560 Speaker 3: I don't love the ceiling of this team, and actually 985 00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:30,560 Speaker 3: must do by this. 986 00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:34,799 Speaker 1: My mouth is like a gape at this. I can't 987 00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:36,120 Speaker 1: believe you went lock of the week. 988 00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:39,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going lock of the week here. Wow. I 989 00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:42,799 Speaker 3: just I don't think that JAMU on defense is going 990 00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:47,279 Speaker 3: to have the guys, I don't love JAMU right now 991 00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:53,120 Speaker 3: against Louisville's defense as a complete offense. Yeah, I'm going 992 00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:54,840 Speaker 3: Louisville here. I think they're gonna win by three or 993 00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:55,640 Speaker 3: four touchdowns. 994 00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:00,200 Speaker 1: Fair enough, three p thirty CBS, Oklahoma State on the 995 00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:05,240 Speaker 1: road at your Oregon ducks Oregon to twenty eight point favorite. Yeah, 996 00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:09,759 Speaker 1: seems like too much, buddy, They're gonna beat them by 997 00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:13,680 Speaker 1: forty plus. You think, yes, I'm going to Oregon forty 998 00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:14,439 Speaker 1: one to twenty four. 999 00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:16,920 Speaker 3: Don't do that. 1000 00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:20,040 Speaker 1: I am not the biggest Oklahoma State fan. Twenty eight 1001 00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:20,680 Speaker 1: is way too much. 1002 00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:24,360 Speaker 3: Here's here's how the week started out. The week started 1003 00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:27,279 Speaker 3: out with Mike Gundy making pre excuses for why they're 1004 00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:31,600 Speaker 3: getting blown out, right to catch that, Gundy talking about 1005 00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:35,200 Speaker 3: Oregon's budget and they shouldn't be playing each other because 1006 00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:38,760 Speaker 3: Oregon should be playing teams with similar budgets and Oklahoma 1007 00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:40,640 Speaker 3: State should be playing teams with similar budgets. 1008 00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:42,480 Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, do you think we're going 1009 00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:45,759 Speaker 1: to get some sort of frosty handshake situation as a 1010 00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:46,759 Speaker 1: result of some of that? 1011 00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:51,000 Speaker 3: Well, Landing said specifically how much he respected Mike Gundy's 1012 00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,800 Speaker 3: accomplishments and his ability as a coach. He wasn't being 1013 00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,840 Speaker 3: like mean about it. He was being a little bit pithy, 1014 00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:59,880 Speaker 3: saying that, like, you know, we spend to win, and 1015 00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:03,160 Speaker 3: it sounds to me like somebody's saving money so they 1016 00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:06,839 Speaker 3: have built in excuses something like that. Yeah, that's me paraphrasing. 1017 00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:11,880 Speaker 3: Oregon's really good this year. Oklahoma State lost its starting 1018 00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:16,960 Speaker 3: quarterback already they're going to be playing. I think he's 1019 00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:20,040 Speaker 3: a third year red shirt freshman, he's had a red 1020 00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:23,960 Speaker 3: shirt year and a hardshe medical hardship year, and he's 1021 00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:28,680 Speaker 3: essentially making his big game debut in Oughtsen Stadium as 1022 00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:33,200 Speaker 3: a basically a thirty point underdog with not a ton 1023 00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:37,400 Speaker 3: to love about where Oklahoma State is heading even short term. 1024 00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:40,280 Speaker 1: Listen, listen. 1025 00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:44,239 Speaker 3: I am just telling you Oregon was probably going to 1026 00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,640 Speaker 3: be a lot better than Oklahoma State going into the 1027 00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:50,680 Speaker 3: game no matter what. And now you're giving them fuel, 1028 00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:55,600 Speaker 3: Like I think Oregon wins this game something like fifty 1029 00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:56,160 Speaker 3: two to ten. 1030 00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:58,880 Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, Wow. 1031 00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:02,319 Speaker 3: Oregon owed nothing last week. They went five deep at 1032 00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:07,520 Speaker 3: a ton of different positions. I'm just I'm telling you, 1033 00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:08,839 Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be ugly. 1034 00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:12,640 Speaker 1: I think this is a Gundy game. I think he 1035 00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:15,440 Speaker 1: uses some dark magic and keeps it relatively close to 1036 00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:18,200 Speaker 1: just confuse everyone the rest of the year, because you 1037 00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:20,840 Speaker 1: know he does this too. I still don't think Oklahoma 1038 00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:24,280 Speaker 1: State's any good, and I have the same questions about 1039 00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:28,080 Speaker 1: directionally where this program is set it right. Twenty eight 1040 00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:32,239 Speaker 1: is too much. That's just way too much. Seven forty one, 1041 00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:34,399 Speaker 1: forty one, twenty four, seventeen points. 1042 00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:36,600 Speaker 3: You think they're gonna score twenty four points on Oregon 1043 00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:37,520 Speaker 3: with Zaye Flores? 1044 00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:39,279 Speaker 1: That is what I'm saying. 1045 00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:41,280 Speaker 3: Yes, you think this defense is going to hold Oregon 1046 00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:45,120 Speaker 3: to forty Okay, buddy, they weren't that impressive against you 1047 00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:48,360 Speaker 3: team Martin? Well, they lost, were they? They lost a 1048 00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:51,920 Speaker 3: quarterback They won by twenty Okay, so the quarterback who 1049 00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:53,200 Speaker 3: came in, Zane Flores. 1050 00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:56,479 Speaker 1: Listen, you can. You can make fun of that pick 1051 00:54:56,520 --> 00:55:00,359 Speaker 1: all you want. Why isn't the line higher, Dan? If 1052 00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:02,520 Speaker 1: you think they're gonna win the points, shouldn't the line 1053 00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:03,000 Speaker 1: be higher? 1054 00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:04,560 Speaker 3: Well? 1055 00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:06,759 Speaker 1: I think Oklahoma State in name brings it down a 1056 00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:09,480 Speaker 1: little bit. Oh, that's what it is. So the Vegas 1057 00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:12,840 Speaker 1: odds makers saw the name Gundy, and they say we 1058 00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:14,080 Speaker 1: should actually give them. 1059 00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:16,319 Speaker 3: So Oklahoma State, it's early on. They won the game 1060 00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:20,000 Speaker 3: by twenty last week. I'm just I'm telling you now, because. 1061 00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:22,440 Speaker 1: That's what those guys do. They play emotions all the time. 1062 00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:24,880 Speaker 3: No, it's a big number. Tie, it is a big number. 1063 00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:26,480 Speaker 3: I just like the big number. 1064 00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:32,440 Speaker 1: Fair enough, listen. I admire the elbow grease that you've 1065 00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:36,279 Speaker 1: put into this pick. I'm trying last, but not least, 1066 00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:40,280 Speaker 1: SEC Network South Florida USF on the road at Florida, 1067 00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:43,440 Speaker 1: Florida favored by seventeen seventeen and a half points, depends 1068 00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:48,000 Speaker 1: where you look. USF a big win last week over 1069 00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:50,880 Speaker 1: Boise State, killed him at home thirty four to seven. 1070 00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:55,080 Speaker 1: Did not have them winning by twenty seven over Boise State. Now, 1071 00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:56,680 Speaker 1: I like them, and I still like them to win 1072 00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:58,680 Speaker 1: the American but I did not have that on the 1073 00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:04,400 Speaker 1: Bingo card. Good team, veteran team, eight starters back, I 1074 00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:06,960 Speaker 1: think on both sides of the ball. USF. That was 1075 00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:09,200 Speaker 1: part of why I like them. And of course Byron Brown, 1076 00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:12,799 Speaker 1: who's a fun quarterback, always gives him a chance on 1077 00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:16,200 Speaker 1: every play. He's going to keep them interesting. If nothing more, 1078 00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:20,360 Speaker 1: this season, Florida's just way better. There's way better across 1079 00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:23,360 Speaker 1: the board. They will not make the same mistakes that 1080 00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:27,399 Speaker 1: Boise made a week ago. Boise was very mistake prone. Yep, 1081 00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:30,319 Speaker 1: Florida is not going to do that. The danger I 1082 00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:33,960 Speaker 1: think in this matchup is that USF likes to play quick, 1083 00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:37,480 Speaker 1: and if you play quick and it doesn't work, that 1084 00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:40,239 Speaker 1: means more chances for the other guy. And the other 1085 00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:42,279 Speaker 1: guy happens to be Dj Lagway, who I really like 1086 00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:45,160 Speaker 1: this year. I like Dj Lagway more than anything on 1087 00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:48,200 Speaker 1: the USF side. All right, So this to me feels 1088 00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:50,560 Speaker 1: like a game that could get out of hand, and 1089 00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:52,360 Speaker 1: I think it's close for maybe a quarter and a 1090 00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:55,680 Speaker 1: half something like that, at which point Florida gets a 1091 00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:59,239 Speaker 1: turnover or gets a couple stops and they start to 1092 00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:01,760 Speaker 1: pull away because I don't trust that the USF defense 1093 00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,200 Speaker 1: is going to offer much resistant tier. I think the 1094 00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:06,160 Speaker 1: Gators win. I think they cover. I think it's something 1095 00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:07,360 Speaker 1: like forty to seventeen. 1096 00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:10,040 Speaker 3: I think Florida is way better. I agree with everything 1097 00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:13,279 Speaker 3: you said. There is something else at play here, though. 1098 00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:16,560 Speaker 3: What does Florida have after USF. 1099 00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:19,120 Speaker 1: Oh, you're thinking a little bit of a look ahead. 1100 00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:21,800 Speaker 3: They have at LSU at Miami, and I think a 1101 00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:23,160 Speaker 3: bye before Texas. 1102 00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:26,520 Speaker 1: So what's the psychology. Then the psychology is this is 1103 00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:29,080 Speaker 1: just a whatever game. We're favored by seventeen points. 1104 00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:32,640 Speaker 3: Well, it's in state, it's never whatever. I think USF 1105 00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:35,200 Speaker 3: is trying to complete the trifecta. They've beaten as a program, 1106 00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:38,320 Speaker 3: they've beaten Miami. In Florida state, They've came close in 1107 00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:41,760 Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, I think billion Napier's first year, but 1108 00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:45,000 Speaker 3: couldn't get it done, lost by like three points or something. 1109 00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:49,800 Speaker 3: So Florida's going to take this game seriously. Florida now 1110 00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:52,920 Speaker 3: has the advantage of watching USF take down a playoff 1111 00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:55,560 Speaker 3: team from last year in Boise State. So USF is 1112 00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:58,560 Speaker 3: going to have Florida's attention. I just at the same 1113 00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:00,800 Speaker 3: time think there is something about Florida knowing what's coming 1114 00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:03,920 Speaker 3: up the rest of the month in early October and saying, 1115 00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:08,000 Speaker 3: you know, how much attention are we giving to us 1116 00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:09,960 Speaker 3: F right now? So I have Florida winning this game. 1117 00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:10,920 Speaker 3: The line once again is. 1118 00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:14,880 Speaker 1: What seventeen seventeen and a half somewhere in that neighborhood. 1119 00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:19,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to I'm going to say Florida barely 1120 00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:22,040 Speaker 3: covers maybe like a what is it a front door cover? 1121 00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:24,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, so I don't I don't have the sound here. 1122 00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:26,400 Speaker 1: People don't like when I play that sound because there's 1123 00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:28,560 Speaker 1: a doorbell and it drives the dolls nuts, which I 1124 00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:31,240 Speaker 1: can I can totally relate to that. So I should 1125 00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:34,240 Speaker 1: probably redo that sound. But for I could see a 1126 00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:37,720 Speaker 1: front door thirty four to fourteen Florida, Yeah, I could 1127 00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:40,680 Speaker 1: see a front door situation here. Yeah. To be fair, 1128 00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:43,240 Speaker 1: they're good enough even if they overlook South Florida to 1129 00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:46,560 Speaker 1: beat South Florida handily. Agree, this is a really good 1130 00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:51,320 Speaker 1: Florida team that you know, after we get through a 1131 00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:55,360 Speaker 1: couple more weeks of this, we can maybe rejigger playoff rankings, 1132 00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:58,720 Speaker 1: rejigger brackets and things of that nature. But if Florida 1133 00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:01,439 Speaker 1: looks as good as it looked against allbe at Long Island. 1134 00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:03,840 Speaker 3: I would say, you actually don't know, nobody knows how to. 1135 00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:08,760 Speaker 1: So of Long Island. If they look that good, if 1136 00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:10,760 Speaker 1: we see it again this week, then maybe we could 1137 00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:13,520 Speaker 1: talk a little bit more about it. But Florida, Florida's loaded. 1138 00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:16,400 Speaker 3: We have no concept for Florida, though we don't we 1139 00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:19,560 Speaker 3: don't have a concept of DJ Lagway as starting the 1140 00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:23,080 Speaker 3: season as the guy and if the defensive changes and 1141 00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:25,280 Speaker 3: the guys coming back are still what we think they are, Like, 1142 00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:27,160 Speaker 3: we don't. We just don't know, and this week will 1143 00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:30,320 Speaker 3: go a long way to determining that. But no, we 1144 00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,200 Speaker 3: don't know this Yere's Florida team, just like we didn't 1145 00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:34,040 Speaker 3: know this Yere's Florida State team, just like we didn't 1146 00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:36,080 Speaker 3: know this year's Boise team. Just like you know, there's 1147 00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:39,240 Speaker 3: a lot of these instances. So yeah, I'm going Florida 1148 00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:41,360 Speaker 3: to barely cover, but I don't feel great about it 1149 00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:42,160 Speaker 3: given what's coming up. 1150 00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:45,360 Speaker 1: By the way, clear your calendar for week three. Oh buddy, 1151 00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:49,480 Speaker 1: we got Georgia at Tennessee. We got Texas A and 1152 00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:53,560 Speaker 1: M at Notre Dame Florida, who you just mentioned, on 1153 00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:57,200 Speaker 1: the road at LSU. We've also got an Arkansas Old 1154 00:59:57,240 --> 01:00:00,600 Speaker 1: Miss game, which could be weird, always weird. We've got 1155 01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:04,560 Speaker 1: Clemson on the road at Georgia Tech, which, who knows, 1156 01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:07,200 Speaker 1: could be a little bit weird. You're going to be 1157 01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:11,360 Speaker 1: at Oregon versus Northwestern in the portable stadium, which I 1158 01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:13,919 Speaker 1: don't this is true. I don't expect any high jinks there, 1159 01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:17,680 Speaker 1: but at least that's worth noting on our show right 1160 01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:21,240 Speaker 1: South Florida at Miami, they've got another one. So there's 1161 01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:24,880 Speaker 1: a bunch of interesting, really interesting games two weeks out. 1162 01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:30,040 Speaker 1: But let's put the cart before the horse. I've got 1163 01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:32,240 Speaker 1: a few under the radar games that I'm very interested 1164 01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:33,080 Speaker 1: in discussing with you. 1165 01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:34,400 Speaker 3: I'm ready. 1166 01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:38,880 Speaker 1: We did this on our episode a week ago. We 1167 01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:41,840 Speaker 1: had some people email in ideas of their own for 1168 01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:44,240 Speaker 1: under the radar games. But these are games that you 1169 01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:46,640 Speaker 1: shouldn't like. They might not be all the way at 1170 01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:54,280 Speaker 1: the top of billing, but just worth noting. Under the 1171 01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:57,000 Speaker 1: Radar games. Dan, I've been talking about this one since 1172 01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:00,600 Speaker 1: we did our previews. This is five PM, this is 1173 01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:04,960 Speaker 1: SEC Network. This is the first ever meeting between these 1174 01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:08,400 Speaker 1: two teams, if you can believe it. Okay, Arkansas State 1175 01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:12,320 Speaker 1: on the road against Arkansas. They are playing this one 1176 01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:15,439 Speaker 1: at War Memorial Stadium for what it's worth, in case 1177 01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:17,920 Speaker 1: anybody cares, if you know the area War Memorial Stadium 1178 01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:24,280 Speaker 1: Historic Grounds. Sure, I think Arkansas State can score. I 1179 01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:27,760 Speaker 1: know they won't play any defense. They just won't. They 1180 01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:30,240 Speaker 1: like went full control. A delete on that side of 1181 01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:32,760 Speaker 1: the ball doesn't matter if their offense is fun Jalen 1182 01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:36,320 Speaker 1: Rainer is legit a good quarterback on the Arkansas side. 1183 01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:37,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw what Taylor Green did 1184 01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:42,320 Speaker 1: last week. Oh yeah, Taylor Creed looked incredible. He looked incredible. 1185 01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:44,919 Speaker 1: The Red Wolves do not have an answer for him. 1186 01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:48,080 Speaker 1: I think they can cover. I think this is forty 1187 01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:50,400 Speaker 1: two twenty. I would take the points here in Arkansas State. 1188 01:01:55,720 --> 01:01:59,160 Speaker 3: I don't know. That's a big number. I might be 1189 01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:00,000 Speaker 3: with you. 1190 01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:03,320 Speaker 1: Big number. Rivalry. I mean they say it's a rivalry. 1191 01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:06,000 Speaker 1: It's two teams from Arkansas that they've never played right, right, 1192 01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:07,560 Speaker 1: But this is a game that they've been trying to 1193 01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:09,440 Speaker 1: get it on the roots for a long time, and 1194 01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:11,880 Speaker 1: they finally make it happen in War Memorial Stadium, maybe 1195 01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:15,680 Speaker 1: like the last game in War Memorial Stadium. Sure, I'm 1196 01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:17,560 Speaker 1: on Arkansas State and the Red Wolves. I think they're 1197 01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:18,680 Speaker 1: a fun team and they can score. 1198 01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:21,120 Speaker 3: Okay, a little bit of a shootout for a stretch 1199 01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:23,000 Speaker 3: of this one. Yeah, I have Arkansas winning. But yeah, 1200 01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:26,400 Speaker 3: Arkansas State by Although'll keep it to like now fifteen 1201 01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:26,960 Speaker 3: or sixteen. 1202 01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:29,760 Speaker 1: Another one under the radar, high noon ESPN two Virginia 1203 01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:31,680 Speaker 1: at NC State. Mm hmm. 1204 01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:34,800 Speaker 3: The Robert and I classic ooh. 1205 01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:41,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, Nate Annihilation should be better than Virginia. 1206 01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:43,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, defense is good against Eco. 1207 01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:45,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, but is that not the story of NC State 1208 01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:48,440 Speaker 1: football right now that they should be something that they 1209 01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:50,560 Speaker 1: just haven't been. We have no idea what Virginia is 1210 01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:53,200 Speaker 1: this year with how they've overhauled things. I think the 1211 01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:56,360 Speaker 1: Who's win out right. I was impressed with Chandler Morris. 1212 01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:59,480 Speaker 1: I think I think it's thirty five thirty one Who's. 1213 01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:03,600 Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with the home team here, home team, 1214 01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:05,000 Speaker 3: with what I think is going to be a pretty 1215 01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:06,720 Speaker 3: good defense. I think it's gonna be a fun back 1216 01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:08,320 Speaker 3: and forth. But I'm going to NC State to close 1217 01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:08,720 Speaker 3: it out. 1218 01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:15,120 Speaker 1: Seven thirty NBC Boston College at Michigan State. Yeah, Michigan 1219 01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:16,760 Speaker 1: State favored by three and a half, four and a 1220 01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:20,479 Speaker 1: half points. Somewhere in that neighborhood. Something about this game 1221 01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:25,480 Speaker 1: just feel real ugly to me, real ugly, real, sort 1222 01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:29,640 Speaker 1: of like carrying the torch of really bad Saturday night 1223 01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:33,720 Speaker 1: NBC games. But I think it's fun, and I like 1224 01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:34,480 Speaker 1: Michigan State. 1225 01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:37,320 Speaker 3: I'll take I LIKEBC here. I like BC by ten, 1226 01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:40,160 Speaker 3: double digits, by double digit I was not super impressed 1227 01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:42,880 Speaker 3: with Michigan State. Against Western Michigan offense didn't have a 1228 01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:45,760 Speaker 3: ton of pop through the air. And if you're not 1229 01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:48,080 Speaker 3: doing it against Western Michigan, I think BC is better here. 1230 01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:51,560 Speaker 1: Speaking of not being impressed. Eight pm, CBS Sports Network, 1231 01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:55,919 Speaker 1: Ucla on the road at UNLV. Ucla is a two 1232 01:03:55,920 --> 01:03:57,360 Speaker 1: and a half point road favorite. 1233 01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:03,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, UNLV home dog of the week. Vegas is catching up. 1234 01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:11,920 Speaker 1: Literally, Vegas the Yokos home dog of the week. My 1235 01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:13,840 Speaker 1: hand was shaking. That's why I didn't hit the button 1236 01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:16,280 Speaker 1: quick enough. I'm with you. I've got UNLV. 1237 01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:19,920 Speaker 3: Outright, Okay. I don't love you and lv's defense. This 1238 01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:21,800 Speaker 3: is a different team than where they were these past 1239 01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:25,360 Speaker 3: couple of years. This is their super Bowl. It is 1240 01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:28,880 Speaker 3: Look at UNLV's home schedule, yep, this is their super Bowl. 1241 01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:32,160 Speaker 3: Is they have an opportunity to beat a Big ten 1242 01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:36,680 Speaker 3: team at home. It's not a look ahead spot for UCLA. 1243 01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:38,560 Speaker 3: I think they have New Mexico and Northwestern or something 1244 01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:43,400 Speaker 3: coming up, but no UNLV in terms of size of 1245 01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:47,040 Speaker 3: the game for this program. By the way, I did 1246 01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:50,760 Speaker 3: look it up, there is the like the tension, bad blood. 1247 01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:55,120 Speaker 3: Jerry Tarkanian love to needle UCLA basketball talking about the 1248 01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:57,880 Speaker 3: Sam Gilbert era when talking about John Wooden, who Sam 1249 01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:00,800 Speaker 3: Gilbert is, Oh, yeah, this is a deep this is 1250 01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:02,640 Speaker 3: quality research day, thank you very much. 1251 01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:02,960 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1252 01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:05,280 Speaker 3: I don't know, but that may have been while he 1253 01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:08,439 Speaker 3: was at where else did Tark coach Long Beach State? 1254 01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:12,600 Speaker 3: Something like that? Yeah, but I'm going you in LV here. 1255 01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:14,000 Speaker 3: I think they're gonna be able to run on UCLA. 1256 01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:17,040 Speaker 1: If you think for one second Dan Mullen didn't look 1257 01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:20,080 Speaker 1: at the box score from the UCLA Utah game and 1258 01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:23,000 Speaker 1: noticed that Utah ran for almost three hundred yards. You 1259 01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:25,720 Speaker 1: don't know, Dan Mullen, it's post to Utah Ucla, so 1260 01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:28,240 Speaker 1: it's maybe an early body blow as well. He is 1261 01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:30,920 Speaker 1: going to run. They're going to win outright, Yeah, and 1262 01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:34,320 Speaker 1: UCLA is going to slip further into the depths of 1263 01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:36,920 Speaker 1: the Spirit's a good thing they got Nico because I 1264 01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:39,760 Speaker 1: think the rest of the team is worse YEP and 1265 01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:42,560 Speaker 1: saying it, saying it for weeks now, but whatever. Three 1266 01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:47,160 Speaker 1: thirty ESPN plus the I thirty five rivalry game. Yes, 1267 01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:53,000 Speaker 1: Texas State UTSA, UTSA favored by four and a half points. 1268 01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:56,680 Speaker 1: Despite being a rivalry, they've only played this game five times. 1269 01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:59,600 Speaker 1: Texas State got the win last year after four straight losses. 1270 01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:04,480 Speaker 1: They got smoked, or I should say they smoked UTSA 1271 01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:09,520 Speaker 1: forty nine to ten. I am on UTSA here. UTSA 1272 01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:13,440 Speaker 1: forty two to twenty four last week against Texas A 1273 01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:16,280 Speaker 1: and M actually looked pretty good to my eye, all 1274 01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:19,120 Speaker 1: things considered. They led in time of possession, they had 1275 01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:22,240 Speaker 1: no turnovers, they didn't get skewed on the ground by 1276 01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:24,120 Speaker 1: A and M. And I think they've got a pretty 1277 01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:26,680 Speaker 1: good quarterback in OWM account So I'm going UTSA minus 1278 01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:27,240 Speaker 1: the points. 1279 01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:29,920 Speaker 3: To be clear, UTSA as a program has not existed 1280 01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:31,840 Speaker 3: for very long, which is why they had to play. 1281 01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:37,280 Speaker 3: Also very true this game too many times. I'm gonna 1282 01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:40,800 Speaker 3: go UTSA as well at home. I feel good about them. 1283 01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:42,640 Speaker 3: I think the offense is going to come alive against 1284 01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:43,160 Speaker 3: Texas State. 1285 01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:45,120 Speaker 1: I got three more or four more on my list 1286 01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:48,480 Speaker 1: that I'll go let real quick high newon ACC Network. 1287 01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:51,800 Speaker 1: Yukon at Syracuse. Syracuse is favored by seven. This was 1288 01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:54,000 Speaker 1: a thirty one to twenty four game a year ago. 1289 01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:57,160 Speaker 1: I think Syracuse is way better, but I think this 1290 01:06:57,200 --> 01:07:00,320 Speaker 1: is a very big game for Yukon, so if nothing more, 1291 01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:03,960 Speaker 1: it will be interesting. I've got Syracuse to win and cover. 1292 01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:06,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, good, Big East bad blood though I think Jim 1293 01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:10,160 Speaker 3: Calhoun and Jim Beheim liked each other, so uh not 1294 01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:12,640 Speaker 3: actual bad blood there. So I'm gonna go Syracuse as well. 1295 01:07:12,680 --> 01:07:14,920 Speaker 3: I think they're a big candidate for Week one to 1296 01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:17,320 Speaker 3: Week two jump, so I'll have Syracuse covering this game. 1297 01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:18,120 Speaker 3: They win by eleven. 1298 01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:21,880 Speaker 1: I thought about locking up West Virginia minus three on 1299 01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:26,439 Speaker 1: the road at Ohio right four pm ESPN U They're 1300 01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:29,600 Speaker 1: only three point road favorite against Ohio the Bobcats. Bobcats 1301 01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:33,240 Speaker 1: are very new, obviously, West Virginia is very new. West 1302 01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:35,960 Speaker 1: Virginia won their game in resounding fashion a week ago. 1303 01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:40,040 Speaker 1: I would be inclined to go West Virginia here minus whatever. 1304 01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:42,800 Speaker 1: I really like West Virginia in the spot and I 1305 01:07:42,840 --> 01:07:44,960 Speaker 1: don't know why, but I thought they look pretty damn 1306 01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:45,640 Speaker 1: good last week. 1307 01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:48,840 Speaker 3: Oh I should have beaten Rutgers Park. Navarrow was really 1308 01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:53,080 Speaker 3: good against a big ten team last week. Sure, I'm 1309 01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:55,400 Speaker 3: gonna go Ohio here, go Bobcats all right, and I 1310 01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:56,720 Speaker 3: think Finalginia overlooks them. 1311 01:07:56,760 --> 01:08:01,000 Speaker 1: Yeah two, fine, I have two games here finally seven 1312 01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:04,560 Speaker 1: pm ESPN plus Western Kentucky versus Toledo. Toledo favored by 1313 01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:05,360 Speaker 1: five and a half points. 1314 01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:08,080 Speaker 3: By the way, this is a look ahead spot for 1315 01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:10,280 Speaker 3: West Virginia as well with backyard brawl next week. 1316 01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:15,920 Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna rescind what I said there. Okay, 1317 01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:19,080 Speaker 1: that creeps me out. I'm gonna go Western Kentucky pust 1318 01:08:19,120 --> 01:08:21,840 Speaker 1: the points. I'm going WKU as well. I don't trust 1319 01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:24,400 Speaker 1: Toledo to cover that. And in the final game here 1320 01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:26,479 Speaker 1: that I'm gonna mention unless you've got anything else in 1321 01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:30,080 Speaker 1: your agenda. Yeah, not because they're gonna win, but just 1322 01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:34,160 Speaker 1: because there's all sorts of weird tension right now. Seven 1323 01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:41,479 Speaker 1: five sec Network ULM the Mighty Warhawks on the road 1324 01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:44,800 Speaker 1: against the Alabama Crimson tied. Alabama favored by about thirty 1325 01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:50,160 Speaker 1: seven thirty eight points. Yeah, Ulm is gonna run. That's 1326 01:08:50,280 --> 01:08:53,040 Speaker 1: kind of all they can do. They're gonna try to 1327 01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:55,840 Speaker 1: run it on Alabama. They should not be able to 1328 01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:58,679 Speaker 1: run it on Alabama. And I don't think they're gonna 1329 01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:01,719 Speaker 1: play much defense, So I don't know if they cover 1330 01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:05,280 Speaker 1: this point spread, but there is clearly motivation on the 1331 01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:08,840 Speaker 1: Alabama on the Kalin Debor side to try and score 1332 01:09:08,880 --> 01:09:12,000 Speaker 1: a thousand points in this game to shut people up, 1333 01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:13,920 Speaker 1: because there are a lot of people talking right now. 1334 01:09:15,200 --> 01:09:17,920 Speaker 1: So I'm just saying, just watch it under the radar, 1335 01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:21,120 Speaker 1: don't put this in the quad, don't do that to yourself. 1336 01:09:21,160 --> 01:09:24,800 Speaker 1: Watch the highlights afterwards, but just pay attention to this one. Given, 1337 01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:29,120 Speaker 1: given what's percolating right now, a Tuscalos, it might be 1338 01:09:29,160 --> 01:09:30,519 Speaker 1: meaningful to keep tabs on this. 1339 01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:34,240 Speaker 3: One limb from lim Alabama. But an interesting one tie. Yeah, 1340 01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:40,040 Speaker 3: South Alabama hosting Tulane. Oh situationally okay, South Alabama had 1341 01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:44,599 Speaker 3: a really good offense last year. Tulane at home beat 1342 01:09:44,680 --> 01:09:49,320 Speaker 3: a big ten team, albeit you know it's Northwestern. Tulane 1343 01:09:49,960 --> 01:09:56,200 Speaker 3: has last year's quarterback next week, Oh Darien Mensa and 1344 01:09:56,280 --> 01:10:00,200 Speaker 3: Duke against Tulane next week. I think the really look 1345 01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:03,920 Speaker 3: ahead potential for two lane bad blood there right, This 1346 01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:07,200 Speaker 3: is basically the facto super Bowl for South Alabama. For 1347 01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:11,640 Speaker 3: the Jags. Jags good offense last year, I think they 1348 01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:12,920 Speaker 3: can ugly this one up and cover. 1349 01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:16,599 Speaker 1: Yeah. I like that. That's like three out of five 1350 01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:17,479 Speaker 1: at the Tai restaurant. 1351 01:10:17,479 --> 01:10:19,120 Speaker 3: Thank you very much your. 1352 01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:21,160 Speaker 1: Window of opportunity, by the way, oh way, yeah, please, 1353 01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:27,400 Speaker 1: I think you can go out go see cats.
