1
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal ull.

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 2: That for me, I'm a man, I'm forty.

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: I've heard so many players say, well, I want to

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:10,639
Speaker 1: be happy.

5
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 2: You want to be happy for a day?

6
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: Edo State is that? Whoo whoom?

7
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,080
Speaker 2: And Dan and Tie.

8
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 1: Dan Rubenstein we talked along and hard about it before

9
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: we hit the go button today. Okay, I believe we

10
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: settled on a name for this Saturday. That's a bit

11
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: of a zag, if only because it's in a different language.

12
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, it's Sukassa Saturday. And I don't fully know

13
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 2: what it means, but I think there is some sort

14
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 2: of very healthy percentage of top like twelve or thirteen

15
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 2: teams who are on the road. And so when I

16
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 2: was going through, first of all, my name is Dan,

17
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:47,919
Speaker 2: that's Ti hi, Right, is that a way we can

18
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 2: we can still introduce ourselves. When I was going through,

19
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 2: the is like, well, it's it's in the JMA wireless though, right,

20
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: Not that Clemson is a top twelve or thirteen team

21
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 2: at this moment.

22
00:00:58,200 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: But what.

23
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: Me was like, I think they're the better team, but

24
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 2: they're on the road. And then I looked at another

25
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 2: game I was like, well, I think they're on the

26
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 2: better team, they're wow, man, that's a night game on

27
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 2: the road, or like it's kicking off at nine am.

28
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: Their body time on the road again, and so it's

29
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's a home field advantage thing.

30
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: It's is Sukasa going to be me Kasa?

31
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: And I think let's look at you?

32
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 2: That's my theme? Whose house will it end up being?

33
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: I love this? I love this, soukassa Saturday. It is

64
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,359

65
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,720

66
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,400

67
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 2: that's right? And so if there, whether you're I don't know,

Speaker 1: if I can find them in there.

73
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,679

79
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: on this episode we list out a couple big dogs.

80
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: I picked big dogs. This week we've got five big dogs.

81
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: I added one didn't even tell you about it?

82
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Ty.

83
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: We will walk through the big dogs here.

84
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 2: Five for five. Why not?

85
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: As I think another way to maybe set the stage

86
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: for what is ahead, we reached out to the vast

87
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: network of our ballers out there. Here's your week five

88
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: weather forecast.

89
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: Weather forecast.

90
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 3: Week five weather is here, and I'll tell you it's

91
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 3: looking solid. As we look across the map, Regions of Delight, abound,

92
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 3: an acc the Big Pen, the sec They're all going

93
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 3: to enjoy a sun kiss Saturday.

94
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 2: No rain around now.

95
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 3: From regions of concern for you looking at the state

96
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 3: of Florida, UCF could have thunderstorms at games. I'm the

97
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 3: Baylor in Oregon on Friday night. That's going to be

98
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 3: a fussy Friday with scattered showers there.

99
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: And the Big twelve is going to sizzle.

100
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 3: Hottest game of the week is a big game Kansas

101
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 3: taken on Texas ninety six degrees at pickoff.

102
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 2: Enjoy the games.

103
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 3: That's your solid forecast.

104
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: So there you go. Dan with that as sort of

105
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: the backdrop. Shout out him Buckley for sending that in.

106
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: He's going to send him in every Wednesday, Bucks the Buckman. Yeah,

107
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: just gonna give us a hand. Let us know where

108
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: things stand from a weather standpoint, because it impacts games

109
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: every week. First big Dog in Week five, first big

110
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: Dog troubles me greatly. Okay, Florida Kentucky. Kentucky favored by

111
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: a point and a half this one high noon on ESPN.

112
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: I talked myself into Kentucky before the start of the season.

113
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: I really did, and it's fine so far. They're four

114
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: and zero, the Murderers, row here Ball State, Eastern Kentucky, Akron,

115
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: and Vandy not getting much out of that, No, not

116
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: getting not getting much out of that.

117
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 2: Basically, we know.

118
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: Nothing about the Cats, whether or not they're gonna hold

119
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: up against a good team or not. That's all to

120
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: say that Florida may not be a good team per se.

121
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: But the defense has been really so. The offense still

122
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,799
Speaker 1: sort of figuring itself out. One of the bigger surprises

123
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: to me this season is that Devin Leary has just

124
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: sort of been okay. He's got a fifty nine percent

125
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: completion percentage, a nine to five touchdown to interception ratio.

126
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: Ray Davis, the running back transfer from Vandy's actually been

127
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: the bigger transfer success so far this season. Should this

128
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: be considered a big dog and where do you come

129
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: down in this game?

130
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean, just because of the context of the week,

131
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 2: it seems like a bigger game, certainly after Florida beat

132
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 2: Tennessee Kentucky undefeated. Though you mentioned that there's not a

133
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 2: ton to take away, I did enjoy that Kentucky jumped

134
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 2: out to the lead that they did against Vandy last

135
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 2: week because they've had some issues in starting slow. I

136
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 2: don't love the picks from Devin Leary. I don't love

137
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 2: a lot about this game, which is to say it

138
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 2: could be quite competitive. I'm going with Florida here because

139
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 2: I still believe Florida running the ball, Florida perhaps getting

140
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: some stops in concert in combination is probably the strongest

141
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 2: combination at this moment, just because of the more flaccid

142
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,679
Speaker 2: way that Kentucky has started out. You heard my God,

143
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 2: you heard me. We'll get to the Patriot legue later

144
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 2: Family show. So that is what gives me a little

145
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 2: bit of pause, where Florida seems to be more tested

146
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 2: given the win over Tennessee, given they've been to Utah

147
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 2: and lost. Mind you didn't look good in the process,

148
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 2: but they're more tested, and so I trust that a

149
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 2: little bit more. And I like for Florida's sake that

150
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 2: this is an early kick. If this were a three

151
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 2: thirty Eastern, if this were a night game, the crowd's

152
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 2: getting into more of a frenzy tailgating all day. I

153
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 2: know Mike Stoops talked about this that he's not worried

154
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 2: that like people are gonna be up early in drinking,

155
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 2: but I'm kind of did you see that quote.

156
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: I saw it.

157
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 2: He was like, I trust the good people of Kentucky

158
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: to pour back some beers when they wake up. I'm

159
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: paraphrasing here. That is what encourages me a little bit

160
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 2: about taking a road dog here in Florida, just the

161
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: I think they know themselves better than Kentucky knows themselves.

162
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 2: And I get a little bit worried, and I'm I

163
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 2: don't love this quarterback matchup because of Devin Leary's picks

164
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 2: thus far early on. But I'm gonna get I'm gonna

165
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 2: give it to Florida just because I don't know. Somebody's

166
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 2: got to win, and I like a couple of elements

167
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 2: of Florida, maybe a touch more than I like what

168
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 2: Kentucky has.

169
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: Well, you're right to say that we know a lot

170
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: more about Florida than we do Kentucky. I think that

171
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: goes without saying. If you are a Patreon subscriber out

172
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: at for ballers dot com, last Thursday, we spent like

173
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: twenty five odd minutes talking about specifically the Florida offensive

174
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: footprint and what it looks like, what they're trying to do,

175
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: what's working, what's not working, and where they needed to

176
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: try and rectify things moving forward. They're three to one.

177
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: They beat Tennessee two weeks ago. That was a good win.

178
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: I was hoping that the game against Charlotte would give

179
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: us a more resounding win with some new concepts on off.

180
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 2: Let's downlook ahead, Tide, believe in the universe, believe in that.

181
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: Celt I bet money and lost on that assumption. Okay,

182
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: so I'm going to go with Kentucky at home because

183
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: I am actually going to follow your rubric. I think

184
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: they've got the best unit on the field, which is

185
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: their defense, and I think they still have the better

186
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: quarterback in this matchup, even though Devin Leary hasn't shown

187
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: it so far. Maybe we'll see it on Saturday. I

188
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: expect an ugly, a potential divorgak game for you, with

189
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: the punts and the fumbles and the just fair ugliness,

190
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: maybe where we're counting punts and not points. Kentucky wins

191
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: this one twenty three to seventeen at home.

192
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 2: Twenty three seventeen. Okay, I have Florida going twenty one

193
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 2: to nineteen. How about that?

194
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: Okay, I win, but ugly, right, It's going to be

195
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: ugly and low scoring.

196
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 2: I think it'll be like seven to three at halftime,

197
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 2: ten eight a half, you know something like that. I

198
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 2: don't know where we are in terms of my final

199
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 2: score being realistic with my halftime score, but yes, low scoring.

200
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 2: I don't think either one of these teams scores thirty.

201
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: You're gonna need a palette cleanser after a game like that.

202
00:09:55,480 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 1: Luckily three thirty ABC, it is Kansas at Texas. You're

203
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: gonna dismiss this game, and it's gonna piss me off.

204
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna dismiss it.

205
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: You're gonna be dismissive about this game. How so you're

206
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: you're dismissive of Kansas. I am dismissive of Kansas a

207
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: little bit. I like how they took care of business

208
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: against Illinois, but that don't hasn't necessarily age and the

209
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: aged in the most impressive way. With Illinois season thus

210
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: far being pretty bad. I feel like you have been

211
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: unnecessarily dismissive of Kansas.

212
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 2: With Kansas's record for straight house fourna, right, so they

213
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 2: separate themselves light from a pretty bad Nevada team. I

214
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 2: just I don't know where the test has been in

215
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 2: terms of how we measure Kansas right now, that's fair.

216
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 2: So to me what Texas is right now and I'm

217
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 2: not fully saying they're a take care of business type

218
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 2: operation and it's a look ahead spot for Texas, is

219
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: it not? It is? They have red River next week now.

220
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 2: They've had dramatic recent history with Kansas that makes me

221
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 2: think it won't necessary be a look They're not gonna

222
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 2: come out sloppy and sludgy and whatever. I just I

223
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 2: need to see something in the way of Kansas this

224
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 2: year to believe in. And so if I'm going to

225
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 2: say taking care of business is underrated, ty, and I

226
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 2: think you have a sound GGB taking care of business, Yeah, absolutely,

227
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 2: thanks Cosmo. I think I'm going with Texas as more

228
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 2: battle tested, more able to keep this offense in front

229
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 2: of them, and when you have a line like what

230
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 2: did you say the line was.

231
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: And a half?

232
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think what wins this game for Texas against

233
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 2: the spread is their defense. Like, I don't know, I

234
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 2: don't believe Kansas is going to get to twenty points

235
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 2: and I think that's going to help. Slowly, maybe it's

236
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 2: a crock potting, Maybe it's seventeen thirteen at halftime, something

237
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 2: like that. And then all of a sudden, it's forty

238
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 2: one seventeen.

239
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: Oh you are so dis missing them. You set that

240
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: up like you weren't gonna but you did it anyway.

241
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 2: It's in Austin. I think Kansas is a good team.

242
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 2: They're going to go to a bowlame this year. I

243
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 2: think they're going to make creamental progress this year. But

244
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 2: where the Texas defense is right now, in the number

245
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 2: of ways you know, the emergence of what it's Jonathan

246
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 2: Brooks in the backfield for Texas, I think they're just

247
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 2: a more complete team. And I think in this part

248
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 2: of the Sark cycle, I think they're they're a taking

249
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 2: care of business team. I do.

250
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,599
Speaker 1: Kansas got dismantled in this game a year ago. I

251
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: don't know if you remember. That was the Bejon Robinson

252
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: game where he went for two forty however many odd

253
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: yards and it was forty one nil until two minutes

254
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: left in the third quarter. Still, still, even with that

255
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: in mind, and with everything that you said is true, Okay,

256
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 1: Still I looked at the point spread and I said,

257
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 1: Kansas can score sixteen and a half seventeen points in

258
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: a lot. That's a lot when you've got two teams

259
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:51,599
Speaker 1: that can score. Yeah, so you were also right to

260
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: point out all of what we don't know about Kansas.

261
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: Kansas started three to oh last season or this season,

262
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: excuse me? And last season right? Last season they were

263
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: this year's Colorado, right, they were the biggest story in

264
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 1: college football. Game day went there for the Duke game.

265
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: That's true this year four and oh. I haven't heard

266
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: anything about Kansas this year. And I think if I

267
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 1: were a Kansas fan, I was trying to like think

268
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: about this one in the shower, like how would I

269
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: feel about that? Because Kansas is still a great story,

270
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: but it doesn't feel like enough people are talking about them.

271
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: I think the fact that Lance Wipold has gotten them

272
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: to the point where they're four and oh, they're unbeaten,

273
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: they're going into a big game, and they haven't received

274
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: nearly the attention is last year. That's a positive sign.

275
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: That means that you can change the culture. That means

276
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: that you can change the way people think about your

277
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: program very very quickly. It just takes one takes one season,

278
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: It takes some hype, and clearly they did that a

279
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 1: year ago. This season, they're at a point where I

280
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: think they're coming into this game, expecting to perform, expecting

281
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: that they're going to show out and get some revenge

282
00:13:58,559 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: of what happened last year.

283
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 2: This is still a Kansas tem that who win eight games.

284
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 2: It is. It is like, I'm pretty high on Kansas.

285
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 2: I just think Texas is excellent.

286
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: I make this pick at my own peril as someone

287
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: who picked Texas to make the playoff and as someone

288
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: who knows that this could be a blowout win for Texas. Okay,

289
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: I think Kansas can and will hang in this game.

290
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: The only way that can happen is if this is

291
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: a shootout, and I'll save the sound for Saturday night. Okay,

292
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: this is a look ahead game because red River is

293
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: on deck. I worry about the look aheads, especially against

294
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: a team that can score and a team that's got

295
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: it circled because what happened last year. I think Texas wins.

296
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: I think this is a game. I think it's forty

297
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: two to thirty five Texas.

298
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 2: Texas is giving up thirty five points to Kansas. Forty

299
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 2: two to thirty five. My preticutre What time is kickoff?

300
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: Three thirty ABC?

301
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 2: Okay, w does it?

302
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: Let's go to another I don't know. We'll call it

303
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: Head versus Heart matchup, six pm ESPN. It is LSU

304
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: minus two and a half. It is on the road

305
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: at ole Miss. You and I disagreed over this game,

306
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: and we didn't even preview yet. We disagreed over it

307
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: in slack when we were setting up this show. You

308
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: are on Ole Miss, I am on LSU. I can

309
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: tend there is no way Ole Miss is winning this game,

310
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: but I would love to hear you out first. Give

311
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: me your thesis for why you like Old Miss.

312
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 2: This is a sukasa matchup that I give Ole Miss

313
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 2: a certain amount of credit that even after their performance,

314
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 2: their woeful performance on offense last week against Alabama, I

315
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 2: don't think Lsho's defense is Alabama's defense. As we saw

316
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 2: in the Arkansas matchup for the Tigers last week, LSU

317
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 2: holds on to win a close game against Arkansas. The

318
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 2: game once again it's in Oxford. I still like Lane

319
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 2: Kiffin as an aggressive play caller, as an aggressive coach.

320
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 2: I don't love this defense, which gives me pause. Because

321
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 2: Jayden Daniels is by and large had an excellent year.

322
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 2: We saw them look more complete on offense last week,

323
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 2: running the ball, getting it too. Brian Thomas Moore, which

324
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 2: I know a lot of LSU fans were hoping for

325
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 2: this year, but I think it's going to be the

326
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 2: holes in gaps. I think it's last week may have

327
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 2: been a situation of Lane Kiff and caring too much

328
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 2: right needling Nick Saban early on in the week about

329
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 2: Kevin Steele and sort of underestimating what Alabama could do,

330
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 2: especially on defense. After the USF game, I think things

331
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 2: are going to be a little bit realigned, to use

332
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 2: a very popular term now for college football, for Ole

333
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 2: Miss here, I think Jackson Dart has a nice game.

334
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 2: I think he's a dual threat without the size necessarily

335
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 2: of kJ Jefferson, but I think he's a playmaker enough

336
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 2: that they're able to win this game at home by

337
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 2: I don't know, four or five points outright.

338
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: Here's what I want to know. You did the LSU

339
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: preview at the start of the year. Yeah, you did

340
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: the Old Miss preview of these two teams. Where where

341
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: are they relative to your expectations?

342
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 2: Uh? Ole Miss is a little bit behind where I

343
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 2: thought they'd be. The game against Tulane was close, and

344
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 2: that's an impressive win all the same, even though it

345
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 2: was against the backup quarterback that Tulane was right there

346
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 2: late in that game and ole Miss. I think it

347
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 2: was a turnover late that made the score look a

348
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 2: little bit different than what the actual rhythm of the

349
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 2: game was. LSU's behind. I thought their defense would be better.

350
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 2: I thought they were going to be stronger upfront. They've

351
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 2: been allowing a lot on the ground, and we'll see

352
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 2: game plan wise, you know, they were. They seemed to

353
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 2: be more pass heavy than expected given that they have

354
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 2: Quinneawn Judkins ole Miss. So I think there could be

355
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 2: a steadier diet of him against LSU this week that

356
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 2: will help to open things up. So that's my hope

357
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 2: for a competitive game, that it's the whole plane is

358
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 2: built out of Quinchwn Judkins.

359
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 1: I feel like I need a therapist to help me

360
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: work through these old Miss thoughts.

361
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 2: Okay, I do.

362
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 1: There's a lot of emotional baggage there. Ole Miss was

363
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 1: my original TCU. I don't know if you recall that way.

364
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: I do, of course, way back when we were younger

365
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: and full of life, and I didn't have the raising

366
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: the sides. As people on YouTube have pointed out, every

367
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 1: week I pop open our spreadsheets and every week I

368
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: feel like I invent reasons to pick ole Miss in

369
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: a big game. I did it last week. I took

370
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: them plus the points.

371
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 2: In that game right night game with bought Hemingway.

372
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, I did it last week too. You know

373
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: Alabama's down, it's Tommy Reeves, maybe Tommy Reese's double agent.

374
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: They've got Jalen Milroe. They don't like all these things

375
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: that I told myself a week ago. None of it mattered.

376
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: They lost play fourteen. They barely scored. Right. When is

377
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: the last time we did a recap of ole Miss

378
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: in a big game and we were like, oh man,

379
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: oh man, did they overperform expectations? What was the last

380
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: time that happened?

381
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 2: Do you want going to look at their schedule? I

382
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 2: don't remember the old Miss off the top of my head.

383
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 2: I did.

384
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: I did luck Okay, I can't find one. I can't

385
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: find one. We do this show multiple times a week.

386
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: We've done it for fifteen years running, and there have

387
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,479
Speaker 1: been moments in there, of course, But just in recent memory,

388
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: I can't think of a damn time when ole Miss

389
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: exceeded expectations in a big game.

390
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 2: Well, ole Miss beat number seven at the time, Kentucky

391
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 2: last year, right right around this time of year.

392
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: You're gonna bring Kentucky out here.

393
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 2: They beat A and M on the road last year

394
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 2: fourteen Dan, I know eight and fourteen A and M. No.

395
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 2: Eight A and M. Last year was to not win

396
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 2: eight games five muscle memory. Excuse me right? I know

397
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 2: they faded, you know, after getting up on LSU last year,

398
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 2: and that was like the beginning of the end for

399
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 2: ole Miss. Last year. Ole Miss reads to me that

400
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 2: they're an inconsistent team and if they're gonna score ten

401
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 2: points in disappointing fashion last week, they're gonna look sharp

402
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 2: this week for whatever reason, and that's what makes them.

403
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 2: You're doing it too, You're doing it too. I know

404
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 2: I'm talking myself into it. I am. I'm just not

405
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 2: gonna do it anymore. I'm not gonna do it anymore.

406
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: There's a saying about fool me once, for me twice whatever,

407
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 1: like I'm just not going there with old Miss. Every

408
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 1: time I do this to myself. I want to pick them.

409
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: I invent a way to pick them, and then they

410
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: let me down. So I'm gonna pick LSU. I'm gonna

411
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: pick LSU. I don't think the Old miss offensive line

412
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: is that good? And this is the kind of game

413
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: where I think that shows up. I think that shows

414
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,199
Speaker 1: up against LSU. That's not to say ls's defense has

415
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: been baller. They haven't, but it's still.

416
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 2: Currently ninety eighth in points per drive aloud, and granted

417
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 2: that was a lot of Florida State, but even last

418
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 2: week against Arkansas.

419
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: Now I'm on, I'm on LSU, and you'll hear more

420
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: about LSU and the pick segment later.

421
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 2: Okay, we disagree, disagree? Another big dog.

422
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: Seven thirty ABC, Notre Dame minus five and a half,

423
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: coming off the loss, the home loss, the.

424
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 2: Home stomach punch.

425
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: If some have told me on Twitter, Nutkick lost to

426
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: Ohio State at the gun square.

427
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 2: Off against Duke. This is a big deal for the Duke.

428
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,959
Speaker 1: He's got game day in town under the lights, two

429
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 1: weeks in a row for Notre Dame where they're under

430
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: the lights. They're also under the lights next week against

431
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: Louisville and the week after against USC so late night

432
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: for the Notre Dame fans. You can make your jokes later.

433
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

434
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: I think what it means for us here, for the

435
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 1: purposes of this show, is that you will get a raw,

436
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: unfettered tie at least the next three weeks running mm hmm.

437
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: You and I disagree on this game too, Yeah, why

438
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: do you like Duke?

439
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 2: I think Duke is a good team, and now, look,

440
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 2: they haven't really played anybody since the Clemson matchup, and

441
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 2: I like to discount week one because week one is

442
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 2: a little bit all over the place for everyone. I

443
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 2: think I believe that they have a good defense. They've

444
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 2: been taking care of business once again, which I believe

445
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 2: to be underrated. I'm into quarterback, I'm into defense, and

446
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 2: in a letdown spot of letdown spots, provided Notre Dame

447
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 2: puts eleven guys on the field, I think it's just

448
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 2: an advantageous situation for Duke. I think the energy and

449
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 2: electricity will be there. It's still Duke, but I like

450
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 2: that combination. I like that situation. And we're still talking

451
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 2: about a Marcus Freeman as good as Sam Hartmon is,

452
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 2: and I think we'll continue to be. Sam Hartman throwing

453
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 2: into a good defense in a letdown spot with a

454
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 2: head coach who is fully able to lose to a

455
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 2: less talented team has shown that to be the case.

456
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: Yes, he has.

457
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 2: I am, and I just I think Duke has a

458
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 2: coaching advantage in Mike elcho okay, and so give me

459
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 2: if you give me home coaching. Maybe quarterback is a

460
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 2: quarterback is probably a nod to Sam Hartman. Though I

461
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 2: don't Riley Leonard are really good defense. I think we

462
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 2: have two good defenses. Notre Dame is certainly more talented,

463
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 2: and I think as a higher ceiling. But there is

464
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 2: that home and letdown effect. To me, not that Notre

465
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 2: Dame is going to take Duke lightly game days there

466
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 2: it's a big deal. But I don't know. I just

467
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 2: I like the situation and I like the team in

468
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 2: that situation, so I'm going to do care.

469
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: I think when you say Riley Leonard you mean the

470
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: Riley Leonard who will be on a bullet train to

471
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: Tuscaloosa as soon as the season is over.

472
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 2: Man, I hope not. I really really hope not. But look,

473
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 2: if Mike Elko leaves, I know his biot's crazy. I

474
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 2: just it do seems like one of those places where

475
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 2: it'd be tough to keep an excellent.

476
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,959
Speaker 1: Player, one of those one of those trains in Japan

477
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 1: that goes like two hundred and fifty miles an hour

478
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: on the magnets.

479
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, on one of those Tuscalusa man, I mean, that'd

480
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 2: be awesome. I don't know if you've ever seen the

481
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 2: map of like what a potential high speed rail would

482
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 2: look like in the SEC Paragraphically, that's how they should

483
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 2: package it for as they expand to Norman and Austin.

484
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 2: It would be the most incredible experience, just a bunch

485
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 2: of SEC fans getting ripped on trains between Fayetteville and

486
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 2: Gainesville or something. The best you just in the way

487
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 2: that they're normally quiet cars on trains, there's just a

488
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 2: just a demolish, ripped car on that train. That that's

489
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 2: my TRIK.

490
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: Two hundred miles an hour, go wrong? Nothing, what could

491
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: go wrong? Yeah, I'm worried about Notre Dame after last week.

492
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: I'm worried about a slugger start. I think the first

493
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: eight minutes of this game are going to be paramount

494
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: and how they look coming out of that loss. I

495
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 1: don't know how you can't get off to a sluggish start.

496
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 1: That was again, use whatever characterization you want. The stomach punched,

497
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: the nut kick, the punch in the teeth, I don't care.

498
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: It was tough and I got to believe the players

499
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: are feeling it as well, and Duke's going to be

500
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: fired up for this one. Duke's gonna be fired up

501
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: for this one. I am worried about Riley Leonard. He's

502
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: obviously very good. I'm fully expecting Duke to come out

503
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: and go on a long, sustained drive where they go

504
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: up seven zero in the first quarter. It's just going

505
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: to happen. That is going to happen in this game.

506
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: I do think though, that over the course of sixty minutes,

507
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: Notre Dame's going to grind him down, and they're going

508
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 1: to do it up front and the same way they

509
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: did with NC State. Frankly, in the same way they

510
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: did with Ohio State. It's going to end up as

511
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: a similar styled game. It's going to take him a

512
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: order to get that ground game going. Once it does,

513
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: I think everything else starts working. This is not the

514
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: Ohio State defense, this is Duke. Duke's a very good

515
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: defense with a very good coach. But the talent is

516
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: not the same. So you can move the ball, you

517
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,959
Speaker 1: can score on Duke maybe unless you're Clemson. Just how

518
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: to get in there? Throw that in there. Notre Dame

519
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: needs do you think you can score on. Okay, Notre

520
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,479
Speaker 1: Dame needs to win this game and they know it.

521
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: I think they bounce back. I think it's twenty eight

522
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: to seventeen. They beat the Dukies.

523
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 2: Okay, it's not a terrible pick. The only thing I

524
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 2: take exception to is like grinding down Ohio State. Did

525
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 2: they score a first half touchdown in that game? Like

526
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:45,719
Speaker 2: they didn't prove much offensively against Ohio State Fair? No, Okay,

527
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 2: that's that's the only they proved. Here's what they proved.

528
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: They prove that what I have been saying the entire

529
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 1: season so far is not bs. That's what they proved.

530
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: What they proved is this is a team that needs

531
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,479
Speaker 1: to get the ground game going so that it enables

532
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: the pass, which is how they've wanted to play all along.

533
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: It has not been the other way around. Sam Hartman

534
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: can do that, It can set up the pass. This

535
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: team is at its best when they get audric estimate going,

536
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 1: except apparently in the biggest moments of the game, which

537
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 1: is a conversation for last week. But they need to

538
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: get that side of things going first and established to

539
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: open up what I think they want to do offensively,

540
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: and it just sometimes has taken a while, but when

541
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 1: it does, it works, and I think it will work here.

542
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 2: All right, fair enough we disagree.

543
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 1: Final Big Dog, Mystery Dog, Friday Night Lights Man.

544
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is good. This is a big game.

545
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: So look, usually we save these for the end because

546
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: people listen to this and we don't want it to

547
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: go stagnant and or stale or you know, expire. These

548
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,239
Speaker 1: things have a time limit, and so that's why we

549
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: put the Thursday and the Friday games last. But this

550
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,239
Speaker 1: one's big and we have to talk about it.

551
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 2: It's Friday night, and you get a lot of joy

552
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 2: Saturday morning listening to the show hearing us be wrong

553
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 2: with our picks about why why the hell right?

554
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: Why not just skip past it if you're listening to

555
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 1: this one Saturday morning, as a lot of people do.

556
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: Nine pm, Friday Night FS one. It's Utah at Oregon State.

557
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: Oregon State's a three and a half point favorite. Cam

558
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 1: Rising reportedly splitting reps in practice with Nate Johnson. Still

559
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: no word if he'll be back, Like this is the

560
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: longest running saga we've had now forever. All I got

561
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: to say is this, he better not come back and stink.

562
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 2: Can you imagine the l off cl cut him some

563
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 2: slack in core Llis.

564
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 1: I know, but there's been so much, so much steam

565
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,959
Speaker 1: on Well, wait wait till Cam Rising gets back. What

566
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 1: if he gets back and he's just sort of like

567
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 1: Nate Johnson or break.

568
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 2: I don't think he's gonna be as fast as Nate Johnson.

569
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 1: No, he won't.

570
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 2: Where are you at with this game? I'm taking Oregon State.

571
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 2: Until I see Cam Rising in uniform look like Cam Rising,

572
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 2: I'm going to assume that we don't have camp Rising

573
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 2: for Utah. I don't know when. I think their bye

574
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 2: week is in a couple of weeks. When is Utah's

575
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 2: bye week after this game? So maybe they want to

576
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 2: give it to him. I don't know. He's been practicing

577
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 2: and not cleared, so it's after this Oregon State game.

578
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 2: They get an extra long bye week because it's a

579
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 2: Friday night. You said Friday, not Thursday. Friday night.

580
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: Yep, the bye is after this week. Then they go

581
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: to cal and then USC in week eight.

582
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,959
Speaker 2: Do you have any offensive touchdowns they scored against UCLA

583
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 2: last week? They scored one one. Utah scored one offensive touchdown,

584
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 2: which I think is incredible because they're undefeated, and they

585
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 2: have had basically no consistent quarterback play. Iowa gets a

586
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 2: lot of criticism, rightfully, So Iowa was scoring one point

587
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 2: six to two points per drive Utah without Cam Rising

588
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 2: one point six. Utah is slightly worse without Cam Rising

589
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 2: than Iowa is with their starter. I didn't I don't

590
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 2: know if that's a bigger criticism of Iowa or a

591
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 2: bigger CRIZ criticism of Utah. Yes, this is true, wow,

592
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 2: And so Utah doesn't have an offense. Andy Ludwig has

593
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 2: known for nine months that. I mean, you remember the

594
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 2: Baylor game. They were down what thirteen three, ten to

595
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 2: three for a chunk of that game. They were in

596
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 2: single digits for a chunk of that game. And so

597
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 2: if Cam Rising is fifty to fifty, I think Oregon

598
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 2: State can score seventeen or twenty points at home, raucous

599
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 2: atmosphere against a home team against the A ranked team. Yeah.

600
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Oregon State here until I see

601
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 2: Cam Rising and proof that this Utah offense has life,

602
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 2: because once again, they don't have receivers who can change anything.

603
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 2: They've won without it, but they've won with Cam Rising

604
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 2: in a Nate Johnson Bryce and Barnes type offense. They've

605
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 2: been god awful winning, but god awful on offense. So

606
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 2: I'm going with Oregon State here. I think they can

607
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 2: win this game twenty one to thirteen.

608
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick with you because I lost the silly

609
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: butterfly bat last week and I took Washington State, or

610
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: I took Oregon State over Washington State, and you warned

611
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: me against it. You called me a stilly little butterfly. Yeah,

612
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: it turns out I am the stilly little butterfly. I'm

613
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: gonna stick with you on all things. Pack twelve if that's.

614
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 2: Cool, that's okay. The thing that gives me grave concern, though,

615
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 2: is DJU against what I think is a very very

616
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 2: good defense, especially against Well. I was going to ask

617
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 2: you about that.

618
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: I was going to ask you about that, because you know,

619
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: whatever last week was, last week was a good game

620
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: between Oregon State and WAZU to some extent, and you know,

621
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that on a different episode. But the

622
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: game before that, the footnote for us when we did

623
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:40,959
Speaker 1: the midnight stream was that DJ you didn't look all

624
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: that good.

625
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 2: No, he didn't. He made like three to five pretty

626
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 2: terrible ill advised passes, and so I guess my question

627
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 2: is how confident are we that dju can go up

628
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 2: against this Utah defense.

629
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: I don't know.

630
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 2: The good news is Deshaun Fenwick, Damian Martinez, this offensive line,

631
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 2: like Oregon State doesn't win throwing the ball downfield under

632
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,719
Speaker 2: Jonathan Smith. It can score points doing that. It can

633
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 2: generate big plays doing that, but it's all set up

634
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 2: in the run game. And so that's true. Utah's going

635
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 2: to stuff Oregon State a lot. I just I think

636
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 2: you need to score twenty points to beat Oregon State,

637
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 2: and I don't know if Utah has that capability with

638
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 2: Nate Johnson.

639
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: So Oregon State for me too, Oregon State for me.

640
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: Let's agree. Okay, let's move on to the early window.

641
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 2: Early window.

642
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: You maybe put off a little bit that we did

643
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: not include USC versus Colorado as one of our big dogs,

644
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: but it's a big point spread.

645
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 2: It's the earliest window for USC.

646
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is a very very early game twelve pm

647
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: on Fox, nine am body clock.

648
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 2: For USC players yep, ten am Local and Boulder. USC is.

649
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: Minus twenty one, minus twenty one and a half minus

650
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: twenty two depends where you look on the road at Colorado.

651
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: I gotta believe Fox is licking its chops here again

652
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: they get another Colorado game. Speaking of the Jesse Palmer

653
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: cartoon wolf thing that we called out on the last episode,

654
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: that is every Fox executive yes, of course, knowing that

655
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: they've got this one. This line actually went down. People

656
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: have been taking Colorado. I saw twenty four. I think

657
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: it broke around twenty four something like that earlier in

658
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: the week. So there's definitely some steam on Colorado in

659
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: this matchup. Not to say that they're going to win,

660
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: but perhaps given the body clock situation for USC, perhaps

661
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: given the fact that USC was too close for comfort,

662
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: let's say against Arizona State. Perhaps given the fact that

663
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: Colorado can score. I mean they at least were scoring

664
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 1: until they played Oregon a week ago. So there's a

665
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: reason there that I think people would take Colorado. I

666
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: don't know if I fully buy it, but three scores

667
00:32:58,600 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: is a lot.

668
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 2: That is a lot at home, three scores at home

669
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 2: with So this is USC playing late night in Tempe,

670
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 2: coming home late, and then getting too Boulder to play

671
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 2: a very early game. Like it's not a great advantage

672
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 2: for USC this portion of the schedule. As we head

673
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 2: into the very difficult back half of the schedule, so

674
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 2: Colorado licking its wounds after the loss against Oregon. I

675
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 2: think Colorado covers this game because I still think USC's

676
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 2: defense is vulnerable enough to give up points even in

677
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 2: a backdoor cover way, like US is just going to

678
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 2: score forty plus points every week, it seems. I don't

679
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 2: know if they're going to have a version of last

680
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 2: year's game in Corvallis in them this year, just because

681
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 2: I think they're that much better. I think they're a

682
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 2: little bit deeper on defense. I think they have more

683
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 2: ways to spread the ball around this year, with the

684
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 2: emergence of how they've been running the ball early on

685
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 2: against a whole bunch of nobody, of course, but I

686
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 2: think Colorado is going able to move the ball at

687
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 2: home better than they were in Eugene last week against

688
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 2: that kind of defense. So I'm going USC to win

689
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 2: this one. I don't know, forty to twenty four, forty

690
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 2: two to twenty four. I don't think they cover. Certainly

691
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 2: could get a back door once again, but I think

692
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 2: Sean Lewis is creative enough in the same way Kenny

693
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 2: Dillingham was creative enough last week to sort of manifest

694
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 2: points to play Mikesosha small ball. Whatever it takes, man.

695
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go with Colorado. Weird

696
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 2: body clock at home, with the wave of Buffalo's, with

697
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 2: Ralphie stomping onto the field. USC is gonna get theirs.

698
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 2: They're gonna walk away comfortably winning this game. But I

699
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 2: think there is going to be enough Colorado frenzy to

700
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 2: keep it within that number. Well, that's interesting.

701
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: I think the point that I would emphasize is that

702
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: Colorado's defense, Colorado's only defense. Maybe playing against a bad offense. Okay,

703
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: they are just not good on that side of the ball.

704
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: And by the way, that's okay, right. They were one

705
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: and eleven last year. It was the story of the

706
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 1: year when they got Deon Sanders. It's been the story

707
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: of the year thus far.

708
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 2: They just think, think about Colorado. It's just like a

709
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 2: frisky pack twelve team, just a frisky team, a good

710
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 2: haallfield not playing defense.

711
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: It's still a great story, and good on Dion and

712
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 1: good on the program. They are trending in a very

713
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: very good direction. I am rooting for them. I have

714
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 1: loved Deon Sanders ever since. He was a thing when

715
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: I was younger, So I'm not rooting actively against his

716
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:31,919
Speaker 1: charter school. Then continue, well, right, let me address something else. Yeah,

717
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: Travis Hunter. Travis Hunter did not play last week. Travis

718
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 1: Hunter is not playing this week. Deon said he's not playing.

719
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: Travis Hunter said he's not taking no for an answer.

720
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: Dion said, you're still not playing. So he is not

721
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: going to be part of this game. One thing that

722
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 1: I have seen rather prevalently out there on the interwebs

723
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: is this notion that, well, if Travis Hunter would have

724
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 1: played against Oregon, that game would have looked a lot differently.

725
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: I didn't see it from anybody that I considered to

726
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: be a smart college football thinker. Yeah, so you know,

727
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: like maybe the win should have an asterisk by it

728
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 1: because Travis Hunter wasn't.

729
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 2: Didn't see it from anybody I care.

730
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 1: If Travis Hunter would have been in this game, it

731
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 1: will been forty two to thirteen.

732
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 2: So stop. I think if Travis Hunter were in this game,

733
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 2: it's forty two to six.

734
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: It does, it's I don't think it has any huge

735
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: impact whatsoever. I just think Colorado is building and he's

736
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:27,839
Speaker 1: a dynamic player. I'd love to see him out there.

737
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: It sucks that he's hurt, but I don't think it

738
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: really has that huge of an impact. I think USC

739
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 1: is winning this game comfortably. I think they're winning this game.

740
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: I think they're covering the spread. I think they're going

741
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: to hammer Colorado because all of these coaches, deep down,

742
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: and Lincoln Riley is no better. All of them have

743
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: egos the size of Montana, and Lincoln Riley wants to

744
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:54,439
Speaker 1: score more points than Dan Lanning. Okay, and so yeah,

745
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: there's a body clock situation, but there's al Roto also

746
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: a Colorado defense situation that's going to give of USC

747
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: ample opportunity to score points to win this one.

748
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:04,959
Speaker 2: Big lock.

749
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 1: Wow, fifty two to twenty one. Okay, fifty two to

750
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: twenty one. USC wins in resounding fashion.

751
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,399
Speaker 2: Okay, we disagree. This is this is a second after

752
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,240
Speaker 2: you said I just trust you with pack twelve picks.

753
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: Okay, I know I realized that.

754
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it's okay. No, I like that you're standing there.

755
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 2: That's good.

756
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: Twelve o'clock ABC, Clemson minus seven at Syracuse. Man, I've

757
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: got some crazy Syracuse stats. If you're ready for him?

758
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: Is it?

759
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 2: Does it involve Rocky longs vaunted three three, five it

760
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 2: it Well, we'll get there with it. Dino Babers and

761
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 2: his love for all things Rocky Long, Rocky Long family tree,

762
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 2: and then getting Rocky Long and now Syracuse being like

763
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 2: the number nine team in the country in terms of

764
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 2: points per drive allowed. Is that what the number is?

765
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 2: It's something really low, like that really high.

766
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So basically the next three weeks of the

767
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 1: entire season for Syracuse, Yeah, they've got this week, They're

768
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: at North Carolina at Florida State. Over the next two weeks,

769
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: all three of those games project as one score games,

770
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,959
Speaker 1: and then they're favored comfortably the rest of the way

771
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 1: by a percentage. Just by a percentage calculation, there is

772
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,919
Speaker 1: a sixty nine percent chance that Syracuse finishes with nine

773
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 1: or more wins this season. I don't buy it, but

774
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 1: I don't either, but just say it, just saying the

775
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 1: computers right now, like Syracuse. This Clemson game, in particular,

776
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: has been a one score game the last two seasons

777
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,479
Speaker 1: and three of the last five. To me, it feels

778
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 1: like a nightmare scenario for Clemson going on the road

779
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: a week after the home overtime loss against your biggest

780
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 1: conference rival, and you're in a weird place.

781
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 2: Like the JMA Wireless Dome, the Carrier Dome. It's a

782
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 2: weird place toward James go to Dad. It's a weird place, right, Yeah,

783
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 2: I agree, Yeah, it's a weird place.

784
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 1: So for that reason, the Yakers home dog of the week,

785
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:12,839
Speaker 1: Nice Eccuse is my home dog, man, They're my home dog.

786
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 2: Syracuse is forcing teams to go three and out. Now,

787
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 2: the best two teams they've played, I believe are purduing Army.

788
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 2: So they're forcing teams to go three and out forty

789
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 2: four percent of the time. That's eighth best in the country.

790
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 2: They're preventing big plays again, purduing Army, Graham Harrell and

791
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:36,399
Speaker 2: the option basically better than anybody in the country. They

792
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 2: are moving the ball even when they're not scoring, they're

793
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 2: moving the ball. I just the underlying numbers about Syracuse

794
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 2: mostly taking care of business with a difficult place to

795
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:49,240
Speaker 2: play with an improved defense. We think Connor Wegman throwing

796
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 2: into a confusing defense with no real star receivers. I

797
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 2: like this pick. I do.

798
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Now QS is without Aronda Gaston, which sucks

799
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:03,399
Speaker 1: for the year. That sucks, But I think that's put

800
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 1: more emphasis on Garrett s Trader. It has enabled him

801
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 1: to morph back into Garrett Shredder, the beloved Garrett Shredder.

802
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 2: On this show.

803
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 1: I can only imagine Dino Baber's watching the tape from

804
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 1: Briley Leonard against Clemson and saying.

805
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 2: May, let's just do that.

806
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 1: May we just do that. We'll do that with we

807
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: have a guy who can do that. He is their

808
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: leading rusher. He's gonna be a threat in this game.

809
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: I don't think he's quite as good as Riley Leonard,

810
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 1: but similar enough in this game. The other thing, and

811
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to get two out over my skis.

812
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: You know I have a tendency to do that. Okay,

813
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 1: but you're right. They played Colgate, Western, Michigan, Purdue, and Army.

814
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 1: Not exactly a who's who of offenses. Okay, granted I

815
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 1: don't know, but you're right. The opponent adjusted numbers on

816
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: defense are so strong. It has not lost to me

817
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 1: the rocky long connection here. Nobody should be surprised if

818
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 1: Syracuse takes a jump forward on defense, and it has

819
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: the early trappings of maybe them doing just that. I've

820
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: got Syracuse to my home dog. We've got Syracuse outright, baby,

821
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 1: let's get nuts, Let's get nuts, Let's go twelve and

822
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:10,359
Speaker 1: oh Syracuse twenty nine, twenty eight, twenty nine, twenty eight.

823
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: Here's what happens. I'm already picking all these games wrong.

824
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: What difference does it make? Okay, twenty nine, twenty eight,

825
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: A last second Garrett Shredder touchdown, Dino says, we're at home.

826
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 1: We're going for two in the win, twenty nine to

827
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:24,800
Speaker 1: twenty eight. That's how it happens.

828
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 2: And also, if it is close, and if it does

829
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 2: come down to it, which you very may will, Clemson's

830
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 2: kicking game now an open question.

831
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, okay, Okay. A couple other games here that

832
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,959
Speaker 1: I'll just call out as part of this early block.

833
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 1: We got Texas A and M minus six and a

834
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,840
Speaker 1: half against Arkansas. News broke shortly before we hit the

835
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: go button today that Connor Wagman is done for the year.

836
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, which is.

837
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: A freaking bummer. This is a neutral site game. I

838
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 1: should add it is at at and T Stadium in Arlington.

839
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,839
Speaker 1: Possible letdown for Arkansas. They had the LSU game last week.

840
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: Possible look ahead for A and M with Bama on deck.

841
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: It doesn't really apply, but I'll play.

842
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 2: It, which I'm so hungry.

843
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 1: I'm so hungry, sort of the double open faced, let down,

844
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:14,880
Speaker 1: look ahead sandwich situation. Also, Rocket Sanders still out for

845
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 1: Arkansas A and M is favored by six and a half.

846
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 1: You got a quick lean here.

847
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 2: I think Arkansas just because of the quarterback situation. And

848
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 2: also I just like taking points into a bonkers like

849
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:32,439
Speaker 2: matchup that we seem to get every year. So I'm

850
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 2: taking points with Arkansas neutral fields. I just if I

851
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,839
Speaker 2: were to bet actual money on this game. The Max

852
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 2: Johnson factor scares me. I know this A and M

853
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 2: offense has taken steps forward, but even like in good

854
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:49,360
Speaker 2: games like we've seen recently, they'll just look flat for

855
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 2: a half. And so I'm going with the better quarterback

856
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,320
Speaker 2: on a neutral field. And I don't love the pick,

857
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 2: but I like the fight I've seen out of Arkansas,

858
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 2: even with really an off defensive line. That's the matchup

859
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 2: that probably most worries me, the Arkansas offensive line against

860
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 2: Texas A and M upfront. But yet I'm still going

861
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 2: Hogs here because I don't know if I have the

862
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 2: trust in Max Johnson.

863
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: And it looked better when he came in last week.

864
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 2: They look good.

865
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 1: They look good, and every announcer is going to play

866
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: up the Max Johnson Jake Johnson brotherly connection, which is

867
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 1: a developing fantasy thing mid season. Now. I like Johnson

868
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: and Johnson. I like A and m thirty one twenty one.

869
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick with A and.

870
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 2: M amm here all right at at and T Stadium.

871
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 1: The only other one that I wanted to mention because

872
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 1: sometimes there is weirdness with this game. Big ten Network,

873
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 1: kayun Penn State minus twenty seven at Northwestern. I'm assuming

874
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: you'll be there tailgating all day, all morning, right.

875
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 2: All day, yeah, all night after the fact, dancing in

876
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 2: the streets with the purple wearing cardiac kids. Now, I

877
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,439
Speaker 2: think I think Penn State it's a I mean, kind

878
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 2: of a letdown spot for Northwestern. I don't know how

879
00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 2: how many people were expecting them to make that comeback

880
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 2: and win that game, but no, this is the type

881
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 2: of game where Penn States should be able to go

882
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 2: straight at them. I know this game was quite strange

883
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 2: last year, like the windiest day of the year in

884
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 2: State College. It was like an odd day always just

885
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:13,280
Speaker 2: there's always with Pennsylvania weather, just in general, you guys,

886
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 2: it's Pennsylvania and Oklahoma. It's weird. It seems like very

887
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 2: violent all of the time in some direction. And we

888
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 2: may we'll talk to Tim Buckley, I guess about it. Yeah, yeah,

889
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 2: I think the weather should be quite nice on the

890
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,320
Speaker 2: north shore of Chicago this weekend, so I'm gonna go

891
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,320
Speaker 2: penn State big, like forty five to thirteen.

892
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I agree. Let's get to the afternoon block.

893
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: If we can't Georgia at Auburn three point thirty cbs,

894
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: the Deep South's oldest rivalry, we throw out the records

895
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 1: in rivalry, but we also have to look at advanced stats.

896
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 1: We have to look at those, and I had to

897
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 1: look at those a little bit more intently because this

898
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 1: line is only fourteen and a half in favor of Georgia. Now,

899
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 1: perhaps the soucasta situation, Perhaps Georgia makes it a me

900
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 1: costa situation. I don't know, But fourteen and a half.

901
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 1: Did that line give you cause for pause?

902
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 2: Yeah? Oh absolutely it did. And I think the line

903
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:11,320
Speaker 2: exists where it does because of some of the flashes

904
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 2: that Auburn has shown on defense. And the concern, obviously

905
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:17,799
Speaker 2: is what Auburn does when it has the ball. But

906
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 2: if you were to take each season independently, once again,

907
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 2: it's its own, living, breathing thing. What exactly has Georgia

908
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 2: done this year against a medium profile opponent, a high

909
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 2: profile opponent, a decent opponent. They looked pretty odd and

910
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 2: off in that first half against South Carolina before overwhelming

911
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 2: Spencer Rattler and pulling ahead comfortably in that game. And

912
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 2: that's kind of it in terms of what we've seen

913
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 2: from Georgia that's been impressive a half against what is

914
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 2: probably an average SEC team, And so I think at

915
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 2: this point Auburn might be thrilled to be called average

916
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 2: with how they've looked on offense for large stretches of

917
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 2: this season. And even still, I really did think about

918
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 2: taking Auburn and the points to slow this game down,

919
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 2: you know, to have a Georgia offense that has not

920
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 2: looked like itself under Mike Bobo. But also I just

921
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 2: think there are too many ways for Georgia to win

922
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 2: because I know who's on this team. See he still

923
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:14,439
Speaker 2: believe in their ceiling.

924
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 1: And that's where I get hung up. I was thinking, like,

925
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 1: do I want to take Carson beck first big SEC

926
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: road game in a rivalry.

927
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, it's a legitimate concern.

928
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 1: But I came back to that as well. I really

929
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 1: did Auburn's You know what Auburn's postgame win expectancy was

930
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 1: in that game against A and M. What zero?

931
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a meaty goose egg.

932
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 1: It was zero. Their defense is solid, and I think

933
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,840
Speaker 1: you're right that's the reason for this line, but the

934
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 1: offense is in shambles. Peyton Thorn is getting sacked about

935
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 1: one out of every nine times he drops back. An

936
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 1: extremely interesting stat that you wouldn't expect is also that

937
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 1: Georgia is not getting pressure so far this season. I

938
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 1: can rattle off that stat.

939
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 2: Well, the second half of that game against South Carolina

940
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,760
Speaker 2: they were overwhelming expense. They were, but that's one stretch.

941
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's one stretch, and that's against a really

942
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 1: bad line, which they've got here. And I'm curious to

943
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,759
Speaker 1: see if that trend continues now as they square off

944
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,359
Speaker 1: against Auburn, because they're they're gonna need to do more

945
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:13,760
Speaker 1: of it against better lines the deeper they get into

946
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: this schedule, and the stats so far are are pointing

947
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:19,839
Speaker 1: to that's a place where they need to improve. I

948
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 1: think they will, but I need to see more than

949
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 1: just a half here. They're near the bottom of FBS

950
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: teams on a per play basis right now. I don't

951
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: know if it all matters much here. It could against

952
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 1: the team like Missouri. It certainly could against Ole, miss

953
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 1: against Tennessee, maybe even Kentucky. But I don't think any

954
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 1: of what I'm describing here on the Georgia side is

955
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 1: caused for Pau's favorite pet charity in this matchup. So

956
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:45,959
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Georgia and Carson Beck's first road game.

957
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 1: The line is concerning, though. The line to me is

958
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 1: a red flag, and it feels like Vegas knows something

959
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 1: I don't.

960
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 3: No.

961
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 2: I mean, look, if it's a frisky defense at home

962
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:57,359
Speaker 2: and a rivalry game, that's generally a spot where I'm

963
00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 2: just like take it. Just take those points, right if

964
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 2: it's into the double digits, especially if we don't exactly

965
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 2: know what one of the teams is this year in Georgia.

966
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 2: But I just have to see a little bit more

967
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 2: life from this Auburn offense. So I have it like

968
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 2: thirty four to thirteen Georgia. I've got a bunch of

969
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 2: quick mentions here. Quick mentions you can tell me which

970
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 2: games are of interest to you which are not. I

971
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 2: think some folks might contend that this is the window

972
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 2: of opportunity if you want me to play it.

973
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 1: I can.

974
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 2: Debatable.

975
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: All this stuff is debatable, Okay, But if you're gonna

976
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 1: go out there, be amongst the people, maybe go to

977
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:38,800
Speaker 1: junior soccer game, go see cats, catch a Mattinee showing

978
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 1: on Saturday. This one might be the time for you.

979
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, grab a nap.

980
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 1: Misszoo minus thirteen at Vandy. We've got Michigan minus seventeen

981
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,879
Speaker 1: and a half at Nebraska. It's a big wine. We've

982
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 1: got Illinois at Purdue Perdue favored by one, Indiana at

983
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 1: Maryland Maryland minus fourteen. We've got Houston at Texas Tech

984
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 1: minus eight and a half for the Red Raiders UCF

985
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 1: and eleven and a half point home favored against Baylor

986
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:09,240
Speaker 1: cal A twelve and a half point home favorite against

987
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 1: Arizona State. Georgia Tech favored by three scores over Bowling Green.

988
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 1: We've got Boise State in Memphis in a really good

989
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:19,280
Speaker 1: game in Memphis, Memphis favored by three and a half points.

990
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 1: And then what figures to be a horrible game on

991
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: the c dub Virginia on the road at Boston College.

992
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 1: The Eagles favored by three and a half points.

993
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 2: Okay, I like Vandy here at home. I think it's

994
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:33,720
Speaker 2: a look ahead spot or even a letdown look ahead

995
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 2: spot for Miszoo after last week's win. I think they

996
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,840
Speaker 2: have LSU coming up correct, so I think it's a

997
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 2: Soucosta situation for the Doors. I think they're able to

998
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:46,240
Speaker 2: keep this one reasonably close. I have Michigan covering against

999
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 2: Nebraska because it just smells of a defensive score or

1000
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 2: two right, just throwing it into the Michigan secondary. I

1001
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 2: think it's gonna be look a lot like what the

1002
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 2: Rutgers matchup looked like last week. Maybe Nebraska scores early

1003
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 2: on with Heinrich the play starting in this game double h. Otherwise, yeah,

1004
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 2: there's not a like a lot to like about this

1005
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 2: Nebraska offense. And to cover in eighteen points spread against Michigan,

1006
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:13,399
Speaker 2: you probably need to score thirteen points, and I don't

1007
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:15,760
Speaker 2: even know if I see that happening. I have Purdue

1008
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 2: covering against Illinois because they're the home team. I have

1009
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 2: no other reason, literally no other reasons.

1010
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 1: I got a message about this I'm making this one

1011
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:25,319
Speaker 1: of my picks of the week. I'll make eric On

1012
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:26,359
Speaker 1: for Bowlers dot Com.

1013
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:29,439
Speaker 2: I know I understand eric On, Purdue fan.

1014
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 1: Eric On for Ballers dot Com has been sending us

1015
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 1: weekly Purdue updates, and he is passionate, passionate about the

1016
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 1: fact that you do not take Purdue the week after

1017
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:40,839
Speaker 1: the Wisconsin game.

1018
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,560
Speaker 2: I understand this. I remember that, and I thought about this.

1019
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 2: Illinois has been very bad this year, turnover prone, defense

1020
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 2: has been disappointing. I'm just not in on Illinois on

1021
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:50,759
Speaker 2: the road, and Purdue's got to win one of these.

1022
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 2: Even though I don't like Purdue and I don't like

1023
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:56,799
Speaker 2: Graham Harrell, I have Indiana covering against Maryland. Indiana good

1024
00:50:56,840 --> 00:51:01,319
Speaker 2: or bad, keeps it closer. They've been covering spreads this year.

1025
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 2: We saw them give Ohio State some fight, even though

1026
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 2: the score it doesn't make it seem like they had

1027
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 2: a lot of offensive fight in that one. But I

1028
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 2: don't think they started Tavin Jackson in that game. There

1029
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 2: was a Brandon Brendan doors By game. So I'm going

1030
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 2: Indiana to keep it relatively close. Marylyn wins Is won

1031
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 2: thirty one to twenty one or something. Like that, and

1032
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 2: the Hoosiers cover Texas Tech, I have covering against Houston. Yeah,

1033
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna be able to run Tyler shuck

1034
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 2: out for the year after the injury he suffered early

1035
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 2: on against West.

1036
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: Virginia cannot catch a break.

1037
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 2: I still think they're gonna be able to run on Houston,

1038
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 2: and I'm just out on Houston at this moment. Yeah.

1039
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 2: I like UCF comfortably against Baylor in the Bounce House

1040
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 2: in Orlando, so I'm going even it's still I think

1041
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 2: it's still what Timmy McClain for UCF with John Ree's

1042
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 2: plumbley out longer, but Baylor's shown almost nothing this time.

1043
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:49,360
Speaker 1: Baylor might be done, zo Man.

1044
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 2: Baylor might just be done.

1045
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:50,799
Speaker 3: Zoe.

1046
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:54,440
Speaker 2: What has cal done to earn a twelve and a

1047
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,319
Speaker 2: half point spread? So full disclosure.

1048
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was looking at putting together our creatively named

1049
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 1: parlay and this week. I was initially gonna build it

1050
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:10,799
Speaker 1: around alternate lines with teams in California.

1051
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was.

1052
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:15,320
Speaker 1: I had in my head the California Love podcast or

1053
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 1: coffin you Love California Love Parlay not podcast, maybe the

1054
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 1: podcast exists. And I got to USC and I got

1055
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 1: to Fresno. I love Fresno in their game against Nevada,

1056
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:29,359
Speaker 1: and I was gonna go Cal minus. I was gonna

1057
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 1: move that point spread down five points. And then I'm

1058
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 1: looking at it, I'm thinking, do I really want to

1059
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 1: do that? I have a hard enough time winning that parlay.

1060
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:41,759
Speaker 1: Do I really want to bet Cal here against Arizona State?

1061
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 1: Arizona State showed a lot of fight last week against USC,

1062
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 1: even with Drew Pine or whoever's playing quarterback. Do I

1063
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 1: really want to do that with Cal? And then I

1064
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:53,800
Speaker 1: came to the same conclusion as you, really, twelve and

1065
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:55,920
Speaker 1: a half points. I've been high on Cal and I'm

1066
00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 1: not that high on Cal, So twelve and a half

1067
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 1: to me feels like maybe not a great play.

1068
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,760
Speaker 2: Here's the alt take, ty, because you're saying alt lines

1069
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:06,799
Speaker 2: here a big day for allt lines. The all take

1070
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:10,800
Speaker 2: is ASU has absolutely deserved being twelve point twelve and

1071
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,440
Speaker 2: a half point dogs. If you watch the tape on

1072
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:16,399
Speaker 2: that Fresno game, they lose that game twenty nine to nothing. Yeah,

1073
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:18,920
Speaker 2: so ASU has earned it. But I'm gonna need to

1074
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 2: see it from Cal before I feel good about a

1075
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:24,160
Speaker 2: double digit favorite in the conference for the California Golden

1076
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:27,880
Speaker 2: Bears next one that you mentioned in that window, after

1077
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 2: ASU Cal Oh. I like Georgia Tech big. I like

1078
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 2: Boston College at home. It's a Tony Musket game for Virginia,

1079
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 2: I believe, and I think I like that.

1080
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,840
Speaker 1: Going against a guy named Musket on the Cavaliers.

1081
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 2: I'm going to go against a guy named Musket because

1082
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:45,719
Speaker 2: you need a certain amount of bravery. And I like

1083
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 2: Memphis comfortably against Boise State at home.

1084
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like the Vandy play. I think Miszoo is

1085
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 1: prone to let downs, look aheads, I like Michigan. I'm

1086
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 1: gonna go Illinois, gonna stand in solidarity with our guy

1087
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:02,799
Speaker 1: Eric out On for Baller dot Com, I will go

1088
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:07,840
Speaker 1: Indiana as well. I will take Texas Tech like UCF,

1089
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 1: I will. I will go with Cal minus the number

1090
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 1: just out of curiosity, don't. I don't know why it's there,

1091
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:18,319
Speaker 1: but for S S and g's yea, why not taking

1092
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:22,360
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech big. Let's go Tony Musket in Virginia? Why not?

1093
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:29,279
Speaker 2: And the offensive line the defense they keep losing? I know, Oh,

1094
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 2: is that rhetorical?

1095
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:35,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Memphis as well. Let's get to our nightcap. Okay,

1096
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:37,759
Speaker 1: if we could, let's do it.

1097
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:39,359
Speaker 2: Let's go to.

1098
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:42,879
Speaker 1: South Carolina at Tennessee. Tennessee also twelve and a half

1099
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:46,440
Speaker 1: point favorite weird line. It's a weird line to me.

1100
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:50,360
Speaker 1: Anytime you get twelve and a half, that's odd SEC network.

1101
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:54,839
Speaker 1: The South Carolina stat profile is amazing. It is an

1102
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 1: amazing stat profile. If I don't say so myself. They

1103
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:01,319
Speaker 1: are pretty much the least deficient defense in Power five.

1104
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 1: They're one hundred and twenty ninth in the nation at

1105
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 1: forcing three and outs. On offense, they can't block, they

1106
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:10,440
Speaker 1: can't run, they get sacked ten percent of the times

1107
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:13,960
Speaker 1: they drop back. And still they beat Mississippi State last

1108
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 1: week and only lost to Georgia by ten two weeks ago.

1109
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:22,680
Speaker 1: So what that tells me is they're wildly inconsistent in

1110
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:24,759
Speaker 1: all of the spots that are supposed to matter. But

1111
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:27,560
Speaker 1: they're balling out for Shane Biemer and they are building

1112
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 1: a lot around whatever Spencer Ratler can give them on offense.

1113
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 1: The interesting thing about Tennessee. We think of Josh Hypel,

1114
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 1: We think of him airing it out with Hndon Hooker,

1115
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:40,359
Speaker 1: a couple NFL receivers, blah blah blah, This offense this

1116
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 1: year is geared more around the run with Jalen Wright

1117
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 1: and Jabari Small and Dylan Sampson. That was not not

1118
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:47,360
Speaker 1: the case last year. They were good at running the

1119
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:49,719
Speaker 1: football as well. But I think when people thought of

1120
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 1: Tennessee they thought of the aerial attack. This year it

1121
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 1: is leaning more heavily on the ground game than it

1122
00:55:56,560 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 1: is the arm of Joe Milton, and probably rightfully, Joe

1123
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 1: Milton's running even Joe Milton's running exactly, so that's where

1124
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 1: they've had more success. I actually think that plays to

1125
00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 1: South Carolina's advantage because South Carolina is not much in

1126
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 1: the way of a defense either. But of all the

1127
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:16,960
Speaker 1: things that South Carolina can stop, the rush is mainly

1128
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 1: among them. That is the main thing that they can.

1129
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:20,239
Speaker 2: Mainly among them.

1130
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:22,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, I got you know how it is.

1131
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.

1132
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 1: You talk yourself into a corner. I've got South Carolina

1133
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 1: plus the number only barely. I got thirty one to

1134
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:31,719
Speaker 1: twenty Tennessee wins at home.

1135
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:35,319
Speaker 2: Yeah. The element that I think you neglected is, so

1136
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 2: you said, South Carolina's had a really tough time protecting

1137
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:42,880
Speaker 2: Spencer Ratler. Right, the number one team in terms of

1138
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 2: sack rate is Tennessee. I think it's stack rate on

1139
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:50,160
Speaker 2: standard downs, not necessarily passing downs. But you can verify that,

1140
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:53,360
Speaker 2: or somebody can verify that for me. Yeah, it is

1141
00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:55,840
Speaker 2: standard down sack right, twelve and a half percent of

1142
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 2: the time.

1143
00:56:56,719 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 1: It's so it's so bad.

1144
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:01,400
Speaker 2: Drop back eighth in the country.

1145
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 1: That is so bad for So I just want to

1146
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:05,520
Speaker 1: in this game.

1147
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 2: I think that that sort of crossover that ven diagram

1148
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 2: is you staring through the window of a Pennsylvania bakery

1149
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:15,040
Speaker 2: as those tomato pies are coming out of the just

1150
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 2: nose pressed against and getting real steamy. It's just a

1151
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:22,920
Speaker 2: beautiful matchup. So I have Tennessee winning this game comfortably

1152
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 2: in Nelands at night, right, So yeah, I'm worried.

1153
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:33,800
Speaker 1: Okay, nine pm ESPN Bama minus fourteen and a half

1154
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:38,120
Speaker 1: at Mississippi State. Big big game at home form Mississippi State.

1155
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 1: I think we know a fair amount about their defense

1156
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 1: at this point because they played three top thirty offenses

1157
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 1: in Arizona, LSU, and South Carolina. South Carolina is playing

1158
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:53,000
Speaker 1: pretty good offense right now. Despite all of what I

1159
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:57,400
Speaker 1: just mentioned. In all three of those cases, Mississippi State

1160
00:57:57,520 --> 00:58:01,680
Speaker 1: struggled against the pass, but more quietly against a quarterback

1161
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 1: with wheels. Yes, a dude who can run that, my friends. That,

1162
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 1: my friends is Tommy Reeves music. Tommy Reeves knows how

1163
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:14,360
Speaker 1: to work with that. So I think you get ready

1164
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 1: for one hundred yards on the ground for Jalen Milroe.

1165
00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 1: That you're going to use more designed runs for Jalen Milroe,

1166
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 1: not the scrambling, but they're going to actually use that

1167
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 1: to offset some of their issues in the passing game

1168
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 1: and get him a little bit more comfortable. Mississippi State

1169
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 1: in their own right is fascinating, not just on defense,

1170
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:36,320
Speaker 1: but on the offensive side as well, because the entire

1171
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 1: narrative in the preseason was well, we're going to move

1172
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:41,280
Speaker 1: away from the air raid. We're going to go into

1173
00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 1: more of a balanced offensive set. And they tried that

1174
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:47,760
Speaker 1: for three weeks and then last week they were like,

1175
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 1: may well just let Will Rogers throw it fifty times.

1176
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 2: They were just you know, like, we know that works.

1177
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:54,960
Speaker 1: They able to just stick with that and they were better.

1178
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:58,040
Speaker 1: They were better last week. I think this is right

1179
00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 1: around the number I think i'ma wins, something like thirty

1180
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 1: three seventeen, So I think they cover. But I think

1181
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:09,400
Speaker 1: It's another week where Mississippi State looks better on offense

1182
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:10,520
Speaker 1: even in defeat. This time.

1183
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:14,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a Sucasa moment for me because all

1184
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:17,080
Speaker 2: elements point to Alabama in this one winning comfortably. But

1185
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:21,280
Speaker 2: the fact that it's at night in Starkville, it worries me.

1186
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 2: The thing that worries me even more though, is Mississippi

1187
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:28,440
Speaker 2: State's defense, which is plenty reason for Mississippi State to

1188
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 2: be considered at or near the bottom of the SEC

1189
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 2: this year. They'ree hundred and first in points allowed per drive.

1190
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 2: They are fortunate to have a win against an FBS

1191
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 2: team in Arizona. Otherwise it would just be what Southeast

1192
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 2: Louisiana as their win. And so I think this is

1193
00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:46,560
Speaker 2: a Mississippi State team that is searching and it's the

1194
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:48,960
Speaker 2: right matchup at the right time for Alabama. I have

1195
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 2: them comfortably winning. I have at thirty seven to seventeen.

1196
00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:58,880
Speaker 1: Other games here in the night slash evening window Oregon

1197
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:01,760
Speaker 1: your orgon ducts S thirty Eastern and PAC twelve Network

1198

Speaker 1: minus twenty seven on the road at Stanford seven PMFS one.

1199
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 1: We've got Iowa State at Oklahoma. Oklahoma favored by nearly

1200
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 1: three scores twenty points seven point thirty on Peacock. It

1201
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:16,320
Speaker 1: is Michigan State at Iowa. Iowa favored another team favored

1202
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:18,240
Speaker 1: by twelve and a half. It's a big number this week.

1203
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:23,880
Speaker 1: True eight pm ACC Network. Oh God, don't watch this game, Pitt.

1204
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 2: I would have said that about Michigan State Iowa on.

1205
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 1: Pit minus two and a half on the road at

1206
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech. Which game would you rather watch, Michigan State,

1207
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 1: Iowa or Pitt Virginia Tech.

1208
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:37,560
Speaker 2: Oh, Pitt Virginia Tech. Really, I think there's something entertaining

1209
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 2: about Pitt's offense, even when it's going poorly. I don't

1210
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 2: think there's anything entertaining about what Michigan State and Iowa

1211
01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:45,960
Speaker 2: are doing. Just overall, I do love watching Iowa's defense.

1212
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:48,280
Speaker 2: It is something to behold, just because why would you

1213
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:50,920
Speaker 2: try so hard when it's clear that the coaches coaching

1214
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 2: the other side of the ball are not One eight

1215
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 2: pm ESPN two.

1216
01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 1: Also to close things out here, West Virginia a twelve

1217
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:00,840
Speaker 1: point dog on the road at TCU.

1218
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:07,080
Speaker 2: Okay. I think Oregon covers because I think it's easy

1219
01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:09,120
Speaker 2: to cover against Stanford if you can move the ball

1220
01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:11,240
Speaker 2: on the ground. And I think they'll be able to.

1221
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:13,200
Speaker 2: I think Arizona struggled last week. Maybe that was a

1222
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 2: look ahead spot and we'll get there. Arizona Washington, I

1223
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:17,920
Speaker 2: believe is PAC twelve after dark this week. I'm true,

1224
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:20,920
Speaker 2: so it may have been a look ahead spot. Given Stanford,

1225
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:24,280
Speaker 2: it's pretty disappointing results getting just destroyed by USC and

1226
01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 2: losing the Sack State. I think Oregon heading into the

1227
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 2: bye week. I think it's a bye week after and

1228
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 2: then they get Washington. I think the big thing is

1229
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:33,640
Speaker 2: they're going to call off the dogs relatively early against

1230
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:35,560
Speaker 2: Stanford if they have a big lead, So maybe there

1231
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:38,840
Speaker 2: is backdoor cover potential. But Stanford's a mess this year

1232
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,800
Speaker 2: and that's going to continue. I have Iowa State covering

1233
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:43,600
Speaker 2: against Oklahoma. Sorry, did you want to jump in out

1234
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:44,000
Speaker 2: of Stanford?

1235
01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 1: Continue? Continue?

1236
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:50,440
Speaker 2: Iowa State's defense chokes Oklahoma enough to keep this within reason,

1237
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:53,160
Speaker 2: even though I'm not. And these are your words and

1238
01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:55,600
Speaker 2: your texting me all week and last weekend rock hard

1239
01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:59,000
Speaker 2: for rocke Becks. I don't. I'll have to have somebody

1240
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:00,920
Speaker 2: explain that reference to me. I don't get it, but

1241
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:01,680
Speaker 2: that's a you thing.

1242
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:04,040
Speaker 1: I don't think October coming up.

1243
01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:07,160
Speaker 2: Rock tober. I don't think Iowa State's offense will continue

1244
01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:09,760
Speaker 2: to be what it looked like against Oklahoma State, though

1245
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:11,919
Speaker 2: it is a step in the right direction. Oklahoma wins

1246
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:15,720
Speaker 2: this one by ten to thirteen points, low scoring twenty

1247
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:19,520
Speaker 2: to seven, twenty one to ten. Somewhere in there, I

1248
01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:23,200
Speaker 2: have Iowa beating Michigan State because Iowa still fields the

1249
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:25,800
Speaker 2: strongest thing in this game, and they can't absolutely score

1250
01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:28,600
Speaker 2: two touchdowns on defense and even outscore their own offense

1251
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:30,920
Speaker 2: and win this game twenty one to seven. So I

1252
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:34,320
Speaker 2: have Iowa there Pitt. I just think Pitt is better,

1253
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 2: and I don't even think Pitt is that good than

1254
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:38,520
Speaker 2: West than Virginia Tech.

1255
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:40,680
Speaker 1: That's mean, that's mean.

1256
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:44,360
Speaker 2: What did I say that you object to though that

1257
01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:45,200
Speaker 2: you disagree with?

1258
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:47,520
Speaker 1: Nothing? Nothing. I just think it was not rock card

1259
01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:50,480
Speaker 1: for rock Oback. I object to that. But this game, no.

1260
01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 2: All of these techs, it wouldn't stop coming in last weekend.

1261
01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:55,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I need to screencap doose to prove it.

1262
01:02:55,560 --> 01:02:59,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, I've sent them to Mama h for further

1263
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 2: analysis investing by the League office. I have TCU over

1264
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:06,680
Speaker 2: West Virginia just because I don't know. I think TCU

1265
01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:08,960
Speaker 2: is rounding into form a little bit more, even though

1266
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:11,600
Speaker 2: they're not bombing it downfield like they did last year.

1267
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 1: I agree with that.

1268
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 2: I like how they've been running. I like Jared Wiley.

1269
01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:17,880
Speaker 2: It's still a backup quarterback for West Virginia on the road,

1270
01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:20,360
Speaker 2: and so I think it's a nice situational play for

1271
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:26,160
Speaker 2: TCU at night against the Ears. Otherwise, I mean, I

1272
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 2: have the list of games in the night window. Nothing

1273
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:30,959
Speaker 2: else is really jumping out to me. What do you think?

1274
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I've got Oregon minus whatever. The Oklahoma

1275
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:39,040
Speaker 1: game is interesting, and you know, I mean, maybe it's

1276
01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:41,560
Speaker 1: not lost on people who follow Iowa or Iowa State.

1277
01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:44,600
Speaker 1: An interesting battle of dueling half teams right now in

1278
01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:47,720
Speaker 1: the state of Iowa, between two offenses that are terrible

1279
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:51,080
Speaker 1: and two defenses that are top ten. I think Oklahoma

1280
01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:54,520
Speaker 1: should be fine here because Iowa stated I don't think

1281
01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 1: can score, and I do think the Oklahoma defense is better, but.

1282
01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:00,840
Speaker 2: I do do you think the Iowa State defense is?

1283
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:02,680
Speaker 2: I see, I think they're good enough that they just

1284
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:04,480
Speaker 2: won't lose to anybody by twenty.

1285
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:07,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's entirely possible. What I'm most curious in it's

1286
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:10,160
Speaker 1: something that I said on the midnight stream. I am

1287
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:12,280
Speaker 1: curious to see what Dylan Gabriel looks like against a

1288
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:16,480
Speaker 1: legitimately good defense a week before the Texas game.

1289
01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:18,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, in a look ahead spot, in a.

1290
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:21,640
Speaker 1: Look ahead spot, but I'm inclined to Oklahoma here minus

1291
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:24,960
Speaker 1: the number. I'm with you on Iowa. I think Michigan

1292
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:29,840
Speaker 1: State's done zo. I'll go Virginia Tech at home. I'm

1293
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:32,720
Speaker 1: not watching this game. Somebody out on our discord is

1294
01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:33,480
Speaker 1: going to have to let me know.

1295
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:36,120
Speaker 2: Well, you put the parental controls on your TV so

1296
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 2: that you don't accidentally flip to it. I don't even

1297
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:40,760
Speaker 2: think YouTube wants to let you see this game if

1298
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 2: they've turned it down.

1299
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 1: This is a pay per view situation.

1300
01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:48,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, YouTube, YouTube TV has alerted ESPN the like actually

1301
01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:50,800
Speaker 2: just for this week, and we're not carrying the ACC network.

1302
01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:54,520
Speaker 2: We're changing our carriage laws. Okay, not a sponsor.

1303
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:56,560
Speaker 1: Could be and I'm with you on TCU. I like

1304
01:04:56,600 --> 01:05:00,480
Speaker 1: that pick a lot actually, thank you. And finally, the

1305
01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:03,080
Speaker 1: PAC twelve after Dark window, if we could play it.

1306
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:04,160
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I have a sound as

1307
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:04,800
Speaker 1: play this again?

1308
01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:07,960
Speaker 2: Do I have what do I have on my soundboard?

1309
01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:09,479
Speaker 2: Do I have anything that I could hear? How about

1310
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:13,840
Speaker 2: this? This is a seductive right a little bit?

1311
01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:20,360
Speaker 1: Oh wow? Pack twelve after mysterious ten pm PAC twelve network,

1312
01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:25,800
Speaker 1: Washington minus eighteen on the road in Tucson against Arizona.

1313
01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:26,040
Speaker 3: Dan.

1314
01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:30,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've also got Fresno minus twenty four and a

1315
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:34,280
Speaker 1: half against Nevada. Nevada is horrible. I think we'll come

1316
01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:36,040
Speaker 1: back to this one on the Keen Cast as we

1317
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:38,360
Speaker 1: call it late night whenever they play the late kick

1318
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:41,720
Speaker 1: and we talk up Fresno. So I'm with Fresno. But

1319
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:48,480
Speaker 1: sooner or later, somebody's gonna cover against Washington, right, yes,

1320
01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:50,840
Speaker 1: sooner or later it's gonna happen. You know, it needs

1321
01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:52,160
Speaker 1: to be a team that can score.

1322
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:54,840
Speaker 2: Arizona might be the team.

1323
01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:59,160
Speaker 1: I'm going Cats plus eighteen Washington wins, but Cats plus

1324
01:05:59,240 --> 01:06:00,640
Speaker 1: eighteen all right.

1325
01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:04,400
Speaker 2: I have Fresno as my lock of the week. Oh yes,

1326
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:06,840
Speaker 2: blunck of the week.

1327
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:09,400
Speaker 1: I like that.

1328
01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:13,560
Speaker 2: I like that play. Nevada is zero to four. They

1329
01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:17,240
Speaker 2: lost by fifty to usc They lost by twenty seven

1330
01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:21,160
Speaker 2: to Idaho. Yeah, shout out Vandals. But to Idaho they

1331
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:24,040
Speaker 2: lose reasonably close. To Kansas. They lose to Texas State

1332
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:26,400
Speaker 2: we might be talking about the worst team in FBS

1333
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:31,840
Speaker 2: football in Nevada right now. So I'm going Fresno enormous,

1334
01:06:32,120 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 2: like thirty five seven, forty two to three, something crazy

1335
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:39,480
Speaker 2: like that. I have Arizona covering at home against Washington

1336
01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:42,920
Speaker 2: in the Desert. I'm just telling you, I root for

1337
01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:46,160
Speaker 2: a Pacific Northwest team. I've rooted for that team with

1338
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:48,840
Speaker 2: a lot of hype behind it for many years. And

1339
01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:52,480
Speaker 2: the scar tissue I have for the Pacific Northwest for

1340
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:57,200
Speaker 2: my own team with hype heading into Tucson is real.

1341
01:06:57,800 --> 01:07:01,680
Speaker 2: So it is the clear quarterback that Washington will play,

1342
01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:03,439
Speaker 2: even though maybe he should have been bench last week

1343
01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:07,480
Speaker 2: against Stanford. I understand all of this. I think it

1344
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:10,200
Speaker 2: is going to be an electric atmosphere in the Desert.

1345
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:13,680
Speaker 2: I think Washington will comfortably win, but I think this

1346
01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:16,040
Speaker 2: will be enough of a game. As we saw last year,

1347
01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:20,040
Speaker 2: this game I think was like within reach for Arizona

1348
01:07:20,720 --> 01:07:23,800
Speaker 2: very late. I'm going to go with Arizona covering the

1349
01:07:23,880 --> 01:07:28,360
Speaker 2: spread losing, you know, thirty five, twenty four, fifty thirty eight.

1350
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:30,080
Speaker 2: I was gonna say that's probably I probably shot a

1351
01:07:30,120 --> 01:07:33,200
Speaker 2: little bit too low here. Yeah, forty five to thirty

1352
01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:37,320
Speaker 2: forty five thirty one Washington, but Arizona cover, Yeah, fifty

1353
01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:38,000
Speaker 2: two to thirty eight.

1354
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:40,160
Speaker 1: For me, Fresno is one of my picks that we'll

1355
01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:42,080
Speaker 1: we'll get to in the later segment. Now like Fresno

1356
01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:45,600
Speaker 1: a lot. I agree if that is bad, also some

1357
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:48,840
Speaker 1: other games here, if we're going to round things out

1358
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:52,560
Speaker 1: and be complete in our coverage. Friday night seven pm

1359
01:07:52,840 --> 01:07:56,240
Speaker 1: ESPN Louisville minus three at NC State and then later

1360
01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:59,200
Speaker 1: on in the evening it is Cincinnati minus one and

1361
01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:03,360
Speaker 1: a half on the road at BYU. I'll come back

1362
01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:05,200
Speaker 1: to what I said a couple weeks ago. I think

1363
01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:07,840
Speaker 1: n C State is seventh or eighth best team in

1364
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:10,840
Speaker 1: the ACC. I'm just not into them. So where's Louisville.

1365
01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:16,719
Speaker 1: Louisville's fifth or sixth, So they're better, Okay, they're better.

1366
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:20,920
Speaker 1: The defense on NC State side is okay. The offense

1367
01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:23,640
Speaker 1: is telegraphed. Everybody knows that they're just building it out

1368
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:26,240
Speaker 1: of Brandon Armstrong, and I'm just not I'm not crazy

1369
01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:29,080
Speaker 1: about that. I'm not crazy about Louisville, but I do

1370
01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:31,960
Speaker 1: like the matchup. So I'm on the Cardinals there and

1371
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:35,800
Speaker 1: I'm on BYU winning the game. Outright against Cincinnati since

1372
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:39,599
Speaker 1: he traveling west for a late Friday kick. It's a

1373
01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:43,080
Speaker 1: bad offense going up against a good defense. So give

1374
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:45,400
Speaker 1: me BYU outright. Give me Louisville minus whatever.

1375
01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:49,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like. I hate taking Louisville on the road

1376
01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:52,320
Speaker 2: Friday night in the ACC against n C State, but

1377
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:55,000
Speaker 2: I think the matchup is quite nice for the Cardinals,

1378
01:08:55,040 --> 01:08:59,040
Speaker 2: who have been pretty great mostly on offense. Louisville we

1379
01:08:59,080 --> 01:09:02,479
Speaker 2: saw them thrash what BC last week, who's usually exactly

1380
01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:05,519
Speaker 2: how good of a team as their opponent is. NC

1381
01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:09,200
Speaker 2: State has been god awful at generating bigger plays this

1382
01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:11,760
Speaker 2: year and Louisville has been bad at preventing them. But

1383
01:09:11,840 --> 01:09:13,479
Speaker 2: I'm going to give that advantage to Lousvill. I don't

1384
01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:15,800
Speaker 2: think they're the cure for the common offense, So I

1385
01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:18,160
Speaker 2: think Louisville's balanced enough that they win this game by

1386
01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 2: ten to thirteen points. I have BYU over Cincinnati altitude great,

1387
01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:25,240
Speaker 2: great by me take the team that I think I

1388
01:09:25,280 --> 01:09:27,479
Speaker 2: think BYU is solid. I haven't watched a ton of them,

1389
01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:29,960
Speaker 2: but what I have seen from them, I'm okay with them,

1390
01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:31,960
Speaker 2: and I think Cincinnati and what I've watched of them

1391
01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:33,599
Speaker 2: I'm just not there with the Cats.

1392
01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:35,720
Speaker 1: I'm not there with the Cats. I'm not fully there

1393
01:09:35,720 --> 01:09:39,599
Speaker 1: on Keaton's slovis for BYU. However, the defense is legit.

1394
01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:42,080
Speaker 1: It is a good defense. And you know they beat Arkansas.

1395
01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:43,960
Speaker 1: This is a good team, is a decent d is

1396
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:45,720
Speaker 1: probably a better team than I gave them credit for

1397
01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:50,200
Speaker 1: in the preseason. Okay, fair enough, That's all we got, man,
