1
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: And welcome in Lakick is Live.

2
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 2: It is Sunday Night, October ninth, The over Lord twenty

3
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 2: twenty two.

4
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 1: No one knows the answers.

5
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 2: That's why we're playing these games every Saturday.

6
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: We are jam packs.

7
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 2: We are high at top A hopping a vibrant downtown Nashville, Tennessee.

8
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: Week six in the rearview mirror.

9
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 2: But it's fresh and we got a lot to talk

10
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 2: about with what we saw yesterday afternoon. Last night we

11
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:36,919
Speaker 2: were in Tuscalusa for what turned out to be a

12
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 2: classic four quarter affair between A and M and Alabama

13
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 2: conference races are tight coast to coast. I mean, can

14
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 2: anyone honestly tell me they have a firm grasp on

15
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: what's gonna happen in the Big twelve or the Pac twelve.

16
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: No, you don't, nor do I. But we're gonna try and.

17
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: Make the best sense we can of those two pictures. Tonight,

18
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: the Every Given Saturday Tour, fresh off a trip to Tuscaloosa,

19
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: we will announce our Week seven destination and probably about

20
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 2: the next twenty or thirty minutes. Also Rama Noodle Express.

21
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,119
Speaker 2: Imagine not being six and three yesterday couldn't be us.

22
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 2: We are continuing to heat up. We'll have early best bets.

23
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 2: I think we got two of them on the board already,

24
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: and you need to get on those because we expect

25
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 2: line movement. They're watching us in Beach Island, South Carolina.

26
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 2: They're watching in Florence, Oregon, so I was unaware existed

27
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 2: until about thirty minutes ago. They're watching us in Maryville, Tennessee,

28
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 2: and Arlee, Alabama. Met four fine citizens from the metropolis

29
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: of Arlee outside Bryant Denny Stadium last night, So thank

30
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: you to everyone. Got in bed at six fifteen am

31
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 2: this morning. Do I seem tired? No, partly because of

32
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 2: this orange substance and the chalice of supremacy next to me,

33
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 2: and partly because we can sleep in December and January.

34
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: We got a lot to talk about here. We did

35
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: not make it to Tennessee LSU yesterday. Why well, it

36
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: ain't on me. It's on the FAA. So I don't

37
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: have connections in the Federal Aviation Administration. But we had

38
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 2: a little plane an issue. It turns out we didn't

39
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 2: need to be down there because it wasn't a competitive game,

40
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 2: which reminds me if you exclude that game, and you

41
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 2: take away that Penn State.

42
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: Auburn blowout in Week three.

43
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: The average margin of victory in games we have attended

44
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 2: this year has been four points. Everyone wants to get

45
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 2: all bent out of shape when we choose on Sunday,

46
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: no one comes back and says, wow, you made the

47
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 2: right decision after we inarguably have made the right decision

48
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 2: most of the time. So we will tell you where

49
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 2: we're headed for week seven in just a few minutes.

50
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: Mike's already a little sliding down the shirt, so we

51
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: got to fix it that. Hey, if you live in Savannah, Georgia,

52
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be down there tomorrow night at the Quarterback

53
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: Club speaking about what. I don't know, that's up to you,

54
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 2: but looking forward to getting to Savannah tomorrow. I've never

55
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: been to Savannah, and I grew up in Georgia. I

56
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 2: don't know how that happened. We're gonna rectify that tomorrow.

57
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: All right, let's dive into the show tonight. Wow, we

58
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 2: got a lot of places to go. There you go,

59
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 2: there's your paper pop. I'd set the over under like

60
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 2: five and a half paper pops tonight. I have been

61
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 2: too many games at Bryant Denny Stadium. I don't know

62
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,679
Speaker 2: in the dozens, but I've been to many games there.

63
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 2: Twenty nineteen LSU Joe Burrow versus TUA. I was there,

64
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: and I think that's about as red hot as I've

65
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: ever heard that stadium.

66
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,399
Speaker 1: A close second is last night.

67
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 2: I have written on this post it number one, twenty nineteen,

68
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 2: LSU number two twenty twenty two.

69
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: Texas A and M. We said going in.

70
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 2: I said all week to you, I said on the

71
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 2: pregame coverage on CBS.

72
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: I reiterated it last night after the game.

73
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: A lot of people nationally did not expect that to

74
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: be that kind of charged environment. But if you're closer

75
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 2: to the scene, you understand they didn't care what the

76
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: point spread was last night.

77
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: They wanted blood. They didn't get it. They didn't get it.

78
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 2: They wanted to have that moment where you screenshot that

79
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 2: scoreboard and it just never came. We got a four

80
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: quarter game last night, didn't we. Now there's this thing

81
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 2: that happens with some elite teams. I would say it

82
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: happens with Bama.

83
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: Mostly. It's that feeling of being stunned.

84
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 2: When you just get a legitimate football game, because normally

85
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 2: the point spreads are really big because Vegas can't afford

86
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 2: not to put out big point spreads on these games

87
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 2: featuring these teams, especially when they're at home. But the

88
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: point spread does not impact the actual game that's played.

89
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 2: Sometimes Bama blows folks out, they did it to Arkansas

90
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 2: last week. Sometimes they don't. And there's this fine line.

91
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 2: For instance, in a game like this, where Bama's up

92
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: twenty four to fourteen with the ball in plus territory

93
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 2: in the second half, that is on the precipice of

94
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 2: becoming a multi score blowout. But if you continue to

95
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 2: turn the ball over and am M, let me rephrase

96
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: forces turnovers, which they did multiple times last night, you

97
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 2: can get what you got last night.

98
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: But sometimes people are stunned when a legitimate.

99
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 2: Football game breaks out, and I don't know, necessarily, I

100
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 2: do know why, I don't know why you continue to

101
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 2: allow yourself to be stunned. I've heard a lot of

102
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 2: folks talk about this today, because I've talked to a

103
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 2: lot of folks about the game today. In my few

104
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 2: waking hours. The gym over here in Nashville was a

105
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 2: buzz with different takes on this game, and it seemed

106
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 2: to me as I silently listened, that everyone's looking for

107
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 2: this grandiose, deeper meaning to what you saw last night.

108
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: I got none of that. I got nothing like that.

109
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 2: I hope you're not looking for really, really overtly deep

110
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: thought here. Let me tell you what I think happened.

111
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 2: What I think happened is Alabama played a backup quarterback

112
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 2: and finished minus three in the turnover battle and missed

113
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 2: a couple of field goals, and because of that, they

114
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 2: played a game that history would say they probably should lose.

115
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 2: They ended up winning it. But that's what we saw.

116
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 2: That's not me saying A and M didn't have a

117
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 2: lot to do with that. They certainly did. I almost

118
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 2: don't believe. I believe there are two different categories of turnovers.

119
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 2: One is the unforced type and one is the force type.

120
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 2: And enforced all the turnovers that they got yesterday. But

121
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 2: the fact remains Bama finishing minus three turnovers and seventeen

122
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: of those twenty A and M points coming off of

123
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 2: those turnovers led to the result you got. So that's

124
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 2: not stunning at all. But there's also nothing deep were

125
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 2: to take away from that. I believe if Bryce Young

126
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 2: played in this game last night. It would have been

127
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 2: a runaway victory. He didn't, so it wasn't. So let's

128
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 2: dive into what it means, because I don't. I personally

129
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 2: just don't think I'm taking nearly as much away from

130
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 2: it as some other folks. I saw this, for instance,

131
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 2: on the Alabama side, totally different.

132
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: I think the AP dropped him to three.

133
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 2: At least that was the rumor in the control room,

134
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 2: because Colin looks at the AP for me, so I

135
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 2: don't have to look at it myself. And that's all

136
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: well and good. I don't care about that. We'll do

137
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 2: the jp POL Tuesday night. But I saw a lot

138
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 2: of people drawing conclusions about how vulnerable Alabama is and

139
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 2: this and that and blah blah blah, and what they

140
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 2: can or can't do against Tennessee if Jaln Milroe is

141
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,559
Speaker 2: starting at quarterback now that we have time to talk about,

142
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 2: and that I think is a more than valid concern

143
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 2: that you find folks should have.

144
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: But here's the reality.

145
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 2: To me, here's how I viewed it through an Alabama lens.

146
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: You temporarily lost.

147
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 2: Something in Bryce Young. You're going to get him back

148
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 2: maybe this week. We'll see you temporarily lost a very

149
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: valuable piece of your team, and you inserted Jalen Milroe.

150
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: He played as good as he could. He's probably a.

151
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 2: Shell of what he eventually would be if you just

152
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 2: played him two full seasons. It's not like I punted

153
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 2: on Jalen Milroe last night after one game. But he

154
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 2: had struggles. He did some good things but also had struggles.

155
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: But you lost one key component of your team, and

156
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 2: that's all anyone's focused on. And I watched him from

157
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 2: field level last night, and I watched what thirty one

158
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 2: did all night, and I watched what fifteen did all night,

159
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,239
Speaker 2: and I watched what forty one did all night. Now

160
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 2: Bama's got that package where they just put all three

161
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 2: of those pass rushers, three of about the five best

162
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 2: in the country, all playing on one team, and they

163
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 2: just put him on the field at the same time

164
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 2: with one down lineman. Give it a cool name, I

165
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 2: think the Cheeta package. And it's terrifying. And you watch

166
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 2: it from field level, and I went back and watched

167
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 2: the replay. It's even more frightening from field level than

168
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 2: it is on the replay because you see the quickness

169
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 2: from field level that I just don't think translates when

170
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 2: you're watching either all twenty two footage or when you're

171
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 2: watching the broadcast feed. They had three sacks, they had

172
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 2: six tackles for loss.

173
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: Here's the kicker. They had nineteen quarterback hurries.

174
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 2: That translates to about one out of every three times

175
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 2: Haines King tried to throw the ball last night.

176
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: He was under duress.

177
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 2: And therefore it's a miracle A and M wasn't the

178
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 2: team dealing with a ton of turnovers. But also, you

179
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 2: got the pass rush that you need to be a

180
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 2: championship caliber team. You've got the running game you need,

181
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 2: and you've got a superstar in your backfield and Jamier

182
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 2: Gibbs he had twenty one carries one hundred and fifty

183
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 2: four yards. That's seven point three per carry. He can

184
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 2: also be very active for you, as we've seen in

185
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 2: the passing game. So what I'm trying to tell you

186
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: my takeaway was about Bama is Alabama's not the team

187
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 2: we will eventually know them to be. Once you have

188
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 2: Bryce Young back, assuming you get him back fully healthy. Okay,

189
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 2: once you get Bryce Young back, you get to pair

190
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 2: him and what you get as an offense because you

191
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 2: have him with that pass rush, and you.

192
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: Get to pair them in the backfield with that running game.

193
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 2: And I've told you once and I'll tell you again,

194
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 2: I think the more finished product of this team is

195
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 2: going to be the best team in the country. Whether

196
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 2: you think they are right now is irrelevant, because we

197
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 2: decide that in December and January, in whether it be

198
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 2: a conference championship or a playoff.

199
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: But I don't know.

200
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 2: I didn't walk away at all last night saying, boy

201
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 2: Bama's in trouble.

202
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: No, they're in.

203
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 2: Trouble if they got to play their backup quarterback, that's

204
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 2: exactly how they're in trouble.

205
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: And we'll see how that plays out this week because.

206
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 2: They're going on the road to Tennessee and we got

207
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 2: again a lot of time to talk about that.

208
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: I got several thoughts on Texas A and M. Here Again,

209
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: this is not.

210
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 2: Going to be very deep because I don't think that

211
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 2: you need to go there immunity. If you could just

212
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 2: forget everything else, we don't need to look at box score, turnovers,

213
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 2: final score, anything like that.

214
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: From a pure.

215
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 2: Effort standpoint, If you could just promise me that that

216
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 2: Texas A and M team would give me that every week,

217
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 2: I'd be satisfied because even an perfect Texas A and MTAM,

218
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 2: even an imperfect offense that's going to struggle to put

219
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 2: points on the board consistently.

220
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: If I just get that effort.

221
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 2: By sheer force of how talented their roster is offensively

222
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 2: and defensively, they'll win games for me. If I got

223
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 2: the effort I got last night against app State, that

224
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 2: would not be a loss. It would be a win.

225
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 2: Ditto in the Mississippi State game, or at the very

226
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 2: least it would have been more competitive. Now I know

227
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 2: why we saw that effort, because, as we talked about

228
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 2: last week going into it, we were gonna get a

229
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 2: one game season. From then we were gonna get a

230
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 2: super Bowl. We weren't going to get the kind of

231
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 2: an MTM you've seen so far this year. So for

232
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 2: better or for worse, we were going to get a

233
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 2: unique version of them. Well, here's the thing about a

234
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 2: unique version of yourself. If you can do it once,

235
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 2: that means you were always capable of it, and it

236
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 2: means moving forward, unless you're just devastated by injury and

237
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 2: you lose key pieces, you will be.

238
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: Capable of it.

239
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 2: So right now, Texas A and M's got what three losses?

240
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 2: They still got a long way to go. I think

241
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 2: what it struck me last night was the tone and

242
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 2: the tune coming out of it was, well, I guess

243
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 2: Jimbo's not on the hot seat anymore.

244
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: Well, I thought it was stupid to ever say was

245
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: in the hot seat.

246
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 2: Not making people who say it stupid, I'm saying I

247
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 2: thought it was a stupid thing to say. Smart people

248
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 2: say dumb things all the time, so I thought that

249
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 2: was always dumb. But a lot of folks came out

250
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 2: of last night saying, oh, no more hot seat for Jimbo.

251
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 2: This is sort of like Dennis. I was doing postgame

252
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 2: with Dennis last night. Dennis said, I think this is

253
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 2: a moral victory for them. That's great, that's great, But

254
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 2: that's the kind of stuff you say more at the

255
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 2: end of the season. They still got half a dozen

256
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 2: games to play. There's still a long way to go.

257
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 2: They pulled this upset last year, and then they lost

258
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 2: two more games after that, but yet they still rode

259
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 2: that wave, that upset wave and the fact that they

260
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 2: were heard at quarterback last year, which gave them an

261
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 2: excuse and a trapdoor to a number one recruiting class

262
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 2: and to a ton of momentum coming into this year.

263
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 2: So far, it hasn't gone as planned. They can get

264
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 2: some run out of this effort they had last night.

265
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 2: They can still have a decent year. It will fall

266
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 2: below their standard, but they can have a decent year.

267
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 2: But look, you know what it's gonna take. It's gonna

268
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 2: take some consistency and performance. It's gonna take them in

269
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 2: some cases doing what they did last night, being more

270
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 2: aggressive and leveraging their best playmakers. Did you see how

271
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 2: often they threw it to Evan Stewart last night. I mean,

272
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 2: I had some Bama folks telling me, boy, Terry and

273
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 2: Arnold had a bad game. Now, I didn't have a

274
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 2: bad game. He got targeted all night. Having a bad

275
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 2: game would be Evan Stewart with about three or four

276
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 2: touchdowns on his stat sheet. Evan Stewart had a big

277
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 2: night because Evan Stewart's one of the best players in

278
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: the country, even as a true freshman, and he went

279
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 2: heads up with Terry and Arnold a whole lot. Terry

280
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 2: and Arnold won his fair share of those battles too.

281
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: But that's the point.

282
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 2: Like Nick Saban, puts a ton of true freshmen on

283
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 2: the field. Well, Jimbo's got a true freshman on the

284
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 2: field there, and they finally threw it his way. I

285
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 2: think they targeted him eighteen times last night. That's what

286
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 2: you got to do, especially since Nia Smith is gone

287
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 2: for the season. For them, that is kind of antithetical

288
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 2: to how they've handled play calling so far this year. Now,

289
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 2: a simple minded person could look back at me and say, oh,

290
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 2: Jimbo only did that because he knew that was what

291
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 2: he had to do to win.

292
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: Well, what a revelation that is, huh.

293
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 2: Now, I would suggest that that doesn't apply just to

294
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 2: last night. I would suggest that moving forward, when you

295
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 2: play Ole Miss, for example, I would suggest A and

296
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 2: M needs to do that against them to win, and

297
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 2: then just rent and repeat all the way down the line.

298
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 1: So I know that everyone wants big, grand takeaways.

299
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 2: I just I chose to react to what we actually

300
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 2: saw last night. I was thankful that I was in

301
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 2: the stadium and didn't have to watch the broadcast. I

302
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 2: have nothing against the CBS broadcast. Actually, I think it's

303
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 2: the best product in the country. But I was not

304
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 2: really interested in hearing the Jimbo Nick Saban stuff. What

305
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 2: I was interested in seeing is how a couple of

306
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 2: backup quarterbacks performed. No, Haines King is a starting caliber quarterback,

307
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 2: but I was interested in the football game. My takeaways

308
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,719
Speaker 2: Bama won't win what they want to win with a

309
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 2: backup quarterback, so it's essential they get Bryce young back.

310
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 2: I think A and M could be five and one

311
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 2: right now if I did nothing more than get a

312
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 2: copy paste of the effort they gave last night. Those

313
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 2: were my two big takeaways, and those aren't very big.

314
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 2: A and M goes into a bye week. We got

315
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 2: to see how they parlay this. Do they use it

316
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 2: as a springboard? They can still have a really good

317
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 2: second half of the season. Bama at Tennessee this Saturday.

318
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 2: I've talked about that game for a long time on

319
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 2: this show, and as you saw Thursday night, we have

320
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 2: a very sizable young audience. We have our eighteen to

321
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 2: twenty four year old demos. The biggest one we have

322
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 2: that makes no sense to a nineteen or twenty year old.

323
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 2: When you talk Bama Tennessee, you might as well be

324
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 2: talking like Rutgers, Ohio State or something not quite.

325
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: To that degree.

326
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 2: But no one has any concept of why you're talking

327
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 2: about that game with reverence? Why would you give that

328
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 2: any special consideration. They just think it's a conference game.

329
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 2: Well it is now, it wasn't already. The Third Saturday

330
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 2: in October used to be the premier rivalry in the SEC.

331
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 2: And this includes a generation long before I could operate

332
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 2: an automobile or really was coherent enough to know what

333
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 2: I was watching.

334
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: But there was a time.

335
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 2: And you can ask your older Bama friends, brethren, relatives,

336
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 2: uncles that that was the rivalry. What in the Iron Bowl?

337
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 2: Ironbol's always mattered a lot down there. But the older

338
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 2: the Alabama fan you're talking to, the more likely they

339
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 2: are to say, yeah, Tennessee is actually the one I

340
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 2: grew up learning to hate, and Auburn I felt the

341
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 2: same way about, but it was just a little bit

342
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 2: different with Tennessee because Bryant made it that way. And

343
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 2: a generation now has gone by, well time has passed

344
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 2: a generation by without knowing what that Third Saturday in

345
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 2: October rivalry is about. And the reason I'm looking forward

346
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 2: to this Saturday is because finally a generation gets to

347
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 2: find out what that.

348
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: Third Saturday in October rivalry is about.

349
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 2: That is going to be an amazing, amazing atmosphere in

350
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 2: Neeland Stadium Saturday night. It was an amazing atmosphere last night.

351
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: They did a great job.

352
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, I wanted to mention this, Colin.

353
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 2: You can cut the video before this. Oh true story.

354
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 2: I'm standing on the field last night. A and M's

355
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 2: inside the five yard line. It is first and goal.

356
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 2: Bama just got tagged with a PI and so there's

357
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 2: gonna be basically time for one play from the three

358
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 2: or two yard line.

359
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: I think two yard line.

360
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I'm talking about you can cut the tension

361
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 2: in the stadium with a knife. And I gotta go

362
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 2: over to the A and M side because we're getting

363
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 2: ready with the CBS crew to grab players for interviews

364
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 2: from A and M if they pull the upset. So

365
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 2: I'm over there and I walked by the A and

366
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 2: M Corps of Cadets and in the middle of all

367
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 2: this chaos, they grabbed me, Colin. Could you go to

368
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 2: my keyshot please? They grab me and they say, hey,

369
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 2: we just wanted to present.

370
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: You with this. Let me let me put it where

371
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: you can see it. There we go.

372
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 2: This was not drawn on here by me via sharpy.

373
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 2: It says every given Saturday tour. They already had this

374
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 2: ready for me. Also two very nice pens on the

375
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 2: back core of cadets. And my guys had walked around

376
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 2: the whole night looking for me, apparently, and I was

377
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 2: a ghost. I was nowhere to be found because I

378
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 2: was on the other side right there first in goal,

379
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 2: season on the line, game on the line. They found

380
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 2: time to hand me a present. So I appreciate that

381
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 2: from Texas A and M. That's why, even though they

382
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 2: lost last night, I tweeted it today. I will reiterate

383
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 2: Texas A and M Pete state material in my book.

384
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: You can call them whatever you want to.

385
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 2: They are friends of this program, as is Academy Sports

386
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 2: and Outdoors. So I handed out I had fifty Academy

387
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 2: Sports and Outdoors gift cards on me yesterday. They were

388
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 2: gone two hours before kickoff. You guys had no shot.

389
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 2: If you waited until you saw me in the stadium

390
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 2: or afterwards, you had no shot. That's just the way

391
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 2: it is. We gave out several of them at rounders

392
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 2: in Tuscaloose a Thursday night. I gave out a ton

393
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 2: on the quad couple at a little Mediterranean cafe earlier

394
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 2: in the day, they went and they went fast.

395
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: We As I told Jesse earlier, we have.

396

00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 2: we got a long way to go. Let's continue to move.

427
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 1: Move, move.

428
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 2: Thank you for watching. If you're watching live, please like

429
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 2: and subscribe. I don't care if it's in that.

430
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: Order or not.

431
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 2: Just please do that. This is gonna be so sad.

432
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 2: I need to prepare myself. Let me take a sip.

433
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 1: And spill it everywhere.

434
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 2: If you didn't watch Texas, Oklahoma yesterday, don't I watched it,

435
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 2: So you don't have.

436
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: To picture this.

437
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 2: It's gonna be weird. I just need you to go

438
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 2: with me on it. Picture you and twenty one of

439
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 2: your friends. Okay, just picture you and twenty one of

440
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 2: your friends. You want to do something a little different.

441
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 2: So you guys go and you break into a morgue.

442
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 2: You heard me, right, and you go and you just

443
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 2: yank a body bag off the shelf. And this is

444
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 2: where it gets really interesting. You just start beating on

445
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 2: the body bag. And one hour goes by and you

446
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 2: don't stop. Two hours go by, still beaten, and about

447
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 2: three or three hours, fifteen minutes go into it, and

448
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, you feel like we've done

449
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 2: enough here. Let's stop beating on the body bag. Let's

450
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 2: just go get lunch. Then you guys leave. That is

451
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 2: my summary of the Texas Oklahoma game yesterday. Completely lifeless.

452
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 2: That was Oklahoma, and Texas took great pleasure and pride

453
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 2: in beating on the body bag for about three to

454
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 2: three and a half hours. Forty nine to nothing is

455
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 2: the final score. It was probably even worse than the

456
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 2: score sounds. I'll get to Oklahoma in a second. I

457
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 2: know you guys have been talking. I do have some

458
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 2: thoughts on Brent Venables, the future of the program, et cetera.

459
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 2: But you know the rule here we talk about winners first.

460
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 2: So Oklahoma's got a wait. I had a lot of

461
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 2: folks come at me last week, including some OU fans,

462
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 2: and you asked me, how could we still have Texas

463
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 2: in the top ten of the JP pole.

464
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: They've got two losses. That's how did you watch them yesterday?

465
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 2: That's how the reason is because as of this point

466
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 2: moving forward, they're a top ten caliber team. Why because

467
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 2: as of this point moving forward, they got quinn Ewers

468
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 2: as their quarterback. Did you find yourself if you did

469
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 2: watch this atrocity yesterday in real time? Did you find

470
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 2: yourself when Texas was up twenty one to nothing, thinking

471
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 2: about the fact that they had lost a game or two,

472
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 2: when they were up thirty five nothing, did Texas's two

473
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 2: losses into your mind at all?

474
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: Of course they didn't. You know why.

475
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 2: They didn't matter yesterday, nor will they matter moving forward

476
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 2: because what they did without their starting quarterback does not

477
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 2: impact the caliber of team.

478
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: They are with their starting quarterback.

479
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 2: It matters in the standings, it matters in the playoff race,

480
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 2: and I'm not suggesting otherwise, but in the power rating

481
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 2: world or in the Vegas odds making world, they're talking

482
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 2: about the here and now, and in the here and now,

483
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 2: Texas does have two losses.

484
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: True enough.

485
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 2: I think they're one of the ten best teams in

486
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 2: the country. And I took a sneak peek at what

487
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 2: the JP pol thinks. I would suggest they're moving up

488
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 2: from that number ten spot tomorrow night or Tuesday night.

489
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 2: But we'll get there when we get there.

490
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: Texas was up twenty eight to nothing at the half.

491
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 2: Okay, So I where was I and my mic is

492
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 2: acting up? There we go, Okay, it's back. Texas is

493
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 2: up twenty eight nothing at the half yesterday. And I

494
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 2: was at this game last year when it was like

495
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 2: twenty eight to three or something like that, and I

496
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 2: remember there being some uneasiness in the Cotton Bowl and

497
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 2: a lot of longtime Texas observers are just long time

498
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 2: observers of the game, said hey, this sitting over and

499
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 2: I understood what they were saying. Of course, they ended

500
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,719
Speaker 2: up being right. That was prophetic because Oklahoma came back

501
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 2: to win outright. Well, I've got some Longhorn fans that

502
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 2: suffer from what I guess we could call battered horn syndrome.

503
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 2: I had some Texas buddies when this was twenty eight

504
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 2: zip at the half yesterday, texting me back and forth

505
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 2: saying we gotta be careful now, can't let our guard down.

506
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 2: This thing's not over. I was like, what they could

507
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 2: play on Wednesday? And Oklahoma is not just scoring twenty

508
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 2: eight points?

509
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: Are you crazy?

510
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 2: And they put up a goose egg, so a shutout

511
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 2: pitched on behalf of the Texas defense. Oklahoma is a

512
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 2: is a bad, too horrific team. Right now here is

513
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 2: all you need to know? Well, really, the final score

514
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 2: is all you need to know. But how about this

515
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 2: total yards five eighty five to one ninety five Texas violence,

516
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 2: third downs Texas ten to fifteen, Oh you three of fifteen,

517
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 2: Texas violence, passing yardage two eighty nine to thirty nine.

518
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 2: That's not a typo. That's not Celsius versus fahrenheit. That's

519
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 2: just what the actual box score said. Texas violence, red

520
00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 2: zone efficiency Texas six and seven. Oh you zero of

521
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 2: two Texas violence. Texas and violence were really the only

522
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 2: two words you needed to know about this game yesterday.

523
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 2: Padlockstat pretty much the entire stat sheet, so I didn't

524
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 2: really feel like narrowing it down to one. Texas is

525
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 2: a very good team, Okay, Texas is in the Big twelve,

526
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 2: so like every game they play, is going to feature

527
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 2: a team that they're capable of beating or is capable

528
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,479
Speaker 2: of beating them. And I know sometimes people tell you

529
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,719
Speaker 2: the lie that on any given Saturday, any team can

530
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 2: beat anyone.

531
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: Well that's not true.

532
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 2: We get upsets on every given Saturday, but any given

533
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 2: Saturdays alive except in the Big twelve, where really is

534
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 2: more like a pro feel, where any given Saturdays, like

535
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 2: any given Sunday, any.

536
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: Team can beat anyone.

537
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 2: Oklahoma's defense the last three games has given up an

538
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 2: average of forty eight point three points per game. Oklahoma's

539
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 2: defense over the last three games has given up an

540
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 2: average of three hundred and ten rushing yards per game,

541
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 2: and Oklahoma's defense over the past three game sas has

542
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 2: given up twelve rushing touchdowns. It's a bad, bad time

543
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 2: for the twenty twenty two version of the Oklahoma Sooners.

544
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,479
Speaker 2: I'm not here to suggest otherwise. I have eyes, I

545
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 2: have a functioning television. I know I'm watching the same

546
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 2: thing that you guys are. There are two very starkly

547
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 2: divided camps out there right now on Brent Venables. Camp

548
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 2: A says Brent Venables just needs more time, and Camp

549
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 2: B says this was a bad hire.

550
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: Where's the dump button?

551
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 2: And I'm just saying that. I think it's impossible to

552
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 2: know right now. I think, for example, this season is totaled.

553
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 2: Oklahoma's twenty twenty two football team is a totaled product.

554
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 2: There's no resuscitating it. There's no fixing it. In my mind,

555
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 2: there's no real bringing it back. There's nothing they can

556
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 2: do at this point. The greatest coach in the history

557
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:56,199
Speaker 2: of mankind probably wouldn't salvage this version of Oklahoma. But

558
00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 2: if I took a total car into the shop, you

559
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 2: could be the best mechanic in the world or the

560
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 2: worst mechanic in the world. I wouldn't be able to tell,

561
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 2: because there's nothing either of you can do with this

562
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 2: particular automobile because it's totaled. So Brenton Vinnables may be

563
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 2: the right guy for the job, he may be the

564
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 2: wrong guy for the job. I'm not telling either of

565
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 2: you you're wrong. I'm just telling you this particular version

566
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 2: of Oklahoma is doomed to fail. For all I know,

567
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 2: it always did have terminal flaws. I'm not ready to

568
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 2: give you an opinion on that. I'm ready to say,

569
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 2: and dare I take the bold stance that I want

570
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 2: to give a guy a little bit more than six

571
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 2: or seven months before I decide whether he's a disaster

572
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 2: of a hire or whether twenty twenty two will be

573
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 2: looked on five years from now when he's got Oklahoma rolling,

574
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 2: three years from now, two years from now when he's

575
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 2: got Oklahoma rolling, and we laugh at it.

576
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:47,679
Speaker 1: I don't know which direction we're going to go.

577
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 2: I just don't think there's this magic crystal ball out

578
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 2: there that everyone but me has access to where they

579
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 2: know definitively on this thing.

580
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 1: Just give it a year, Please, just give it a year.

581
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 1: Let's land another recruiting class.

582
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 2: They haven't fallen off a cliff in that department, landed

583
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 2: to Goodman last year.

584
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 1: They're going to land a good win this cycle. So

585
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: I'm willing to give it time.

586
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 2: But I can also tell you this season is a

587
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 2: disaster and it's unacceptable. I can do both of those things.

588
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 2: So that's where I am with Oklahoma Texas. Meanwhile, remember

589
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 2: Bo Davis's little rant on that darkened bus last year.

590
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: Did you notice what.

591
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 2: He said back then in the attitude he wanted Texas

592
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 2: to have that they didn't have, And did you see

593
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 2: the way the offensive line played yesterday. You know that

594
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 2: offensive line was supposed to be a weakness for Texas.

595
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 2: If you go back to the spring, if you go

596
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 2: back to fall camp, even insiders very close to the team,

597
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 2: you're talking about multiple true freshmen having to play multiple

598
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 2: true freshmen in.

599
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 1: The too deep.

600
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 2: Well, here's what was probably underconsidered by people, including myself.

601
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 2: Those true freshmen may have walked on campus and been

602
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 2: better than anyone they had.

603
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: And that's the case, especially at left tackle. That's the case.

604
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 1: I've talked to some folks close to Texas.

605
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 2: They said, hey, Banks walked on campus and within about

606
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 2: twenty minutes we knew he's the best offensive lineman we got.

607
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: He's a true freshman. That kid was in high school.

608
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 2: He was walking the hallways of a high school in

609
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 2: Texas this time last year.

610
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: They're good and they're getting better. They can win the

611
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 1: Big Twelve.

612
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 2: I'm going to talk about the status of the Big

613
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 2: twelve in a little while. That's a good team, all right,

614
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 2: Let's move on to boy. This one I thought was

615
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 2: going to be good, but not so much. Let me

616
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:31,959
Speaker 2: see if I can colin you think I could take

617
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 2: a sip of this and not spill it on myself.

618
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so too.

619
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 2: Okay, I want to get different flavors, But Colin says,

620
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 2: as long ast Tennessee's undefeated, I got to stick.

621
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: With the orange.

622
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 2: Follow up question, how long are we going to stick

623
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 2: with orange liquid and the challice of supremacy?

624
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: That's kind of a teaser for this week, I think.

625
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 2: Okay, Tennessee boat raced LSU yesterday. There are no two

626
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 2: ways about this. We were supposed to be at this game.

627
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: We weren't.

628
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 2: Seems LSU really wasn't at this game either, and that's

629
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 2: a shame, because this one had an opportunity, at least

630
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 2: on paper, to kind of be a quiet.

631
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: Classic, if you can have such a thing.

632
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 2: I saw that look in some of your eyes last week,

633
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 2: and I saw that look in some of your eyes

634
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,479
Speaker 2: yesterday when the dust settled and you saw forty to

635
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 2: thirteen the final in favor of Tennessee.

636
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: You had that look.

637
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 2: And that look is like if you were to walk

638
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 2: outside your office tomorrow and there's this giant palette of

639
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 2: cash on the sidewalk, what.

640
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: Would you do? And let's just say there's a sign

641
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: that says free to a good home. What would you do.

642
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: You wouldn't run up to that palette and start grabbing

643
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: those bills.

644
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 2: You'd do like I would. You'd look to the left,

645
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 2: you'd look to the right. You look up, and you'd

646
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 2: wonder what's the deal. Well, imagine staring at that palette

647
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 2: of cash and wondering, all right, what's the catch?

648
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, some guy pulls up with.

649
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 2: A U haul and a forklift and loads the palette

650
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 2: into that U haul, whistling the whole time, lowers the

651
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 2: back and drives away, and he gets all the money.

652
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 2: How would you feel? You would feel like you just

653
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 2: missed a great opportunity. A lot of you saw Tennessee

654
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 2: minus three or even minus three and a half last

655
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 2: week minus two and a half at some points, and

656
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 2: you thought it was too good to be true.

657
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: There's no way they're giving me this free money.

658
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 2: And then other people took Tennessee minus two and a

659
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 2: half three three and a half and took it to

660
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 2: the bank. And you were left, after a forty to

661
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 2: thirteen beat down yesterday, saying how could I have let

662
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 2: this pass me by?

663
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: I know that because I asked myself the same thing.

664
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 2: We picked Tennessee to win. We picked them to cover.

665
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 2: We did not put it on the Rama Noodle Express.

666
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 2: And look, the Rama Noodle Express had a great day yesterday,

667
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,479
Speaker 2: but it could have been greater, and we let it

668
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 2: slip through our fingertips.

669
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: I guess what I'm trying to say.

670
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,479
Speaker 2: Is Tennessee is who we thought they were, and we

671
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 2: let them off our hook.

672
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: It would piss Danny Green off. It pisses me off.

673
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 2: So reality came into focus pretty early in this game.

674
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 2: It was not back and forth nippentuck, It was nothing

675
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 2: like that. LSU botches the opening kickoff and Tennessee scores.

676
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 2: Tennessee gets a long punt return.

677
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: They go up.

678
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:08,719
Speaker 2: If you told me nothing other than that, as a

679
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 2: matter of fact, if you told me that's how the

680
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 2: first quarter was going to play out, I would have

681
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 2: been ultra confident because of how imperative it was for

682
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 2: Tennessee to get a fast start to win and for

683
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 2: LSU to have them avoid that. LSU's not equipped to

684
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 2: catch up, as you clearly see by what the final

685
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 2: score was. Two things stand out that I think are

686
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 2: going to go overlooked here because of what the perception

687
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 2: is a Tennessee. Your perception faithed in reality is Hendon

688
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 2: Hooker is a Heisman contender, and they throw the ball

689
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 2: all over the place and they've got a high octane

690
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 2: passing attack. Well, they out rushed LSU two sixty three

691
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 2: to fifty five yesterday. Tennessee's defense was also really good.

692
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 2: They allowed fifty five yards rushing. That's two yards per

693
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 2: carry for LSU. You don't think about that when you

694
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 2: think of Tennessee.

695
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: They had five sacks, they had nine tackles for loss.

696
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 2: None of us think about that when we think about Tennessee.

697
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 2: We haven't seen that kind of defensive performance from them

698
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 2: yet this year. Now, obviously one has to ask, is

699
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 2: LSU's offensive line that inept that this just made Tennessee

700
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 2: defensively look better. Well, that's why we're going to play

701
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 2: the rest of the season. But Tennessee threw the ball

702
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 2: twenty eight times yesterday. They ran the ball forty nine

703
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 2: times yesterday.

704
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: Does that sync.

705
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 2: Up necessarily with how you perceive them to go about things. No,

706
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 2: But that's how they chose to give themselves the best

707
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 2: opportunity to win and dominate yesterday.

708
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: They're peaking at the right time.

709
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 2: I mean, they are twenty eight for twenty eight in

710
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 2: red zone scoring opportunities this year. I don't need to

711
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 2: tell you that leads the country. They are eleven of

712
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 2: fourteen on fourth down? Is that in the year good creep?

713
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 2: So they're eleven of fourteen going fourth and fourth down

714
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 2: this year. The LSU side of this equation is as

715
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 2: simple as this. They've got offensive limitations. Notice I said

716
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 2: offense if and not back. I was told by some

717
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 2: trusted sources that Jade and Daniels played horrifically yesterday, and

718
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 2: then I went back and rewatched the game. I saw

719
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 2: some of it live, but I went back and rewatched

720
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 2: the game. He didn't play horrifically. He didn't play as

721
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 2: I'm not even gonna say he didn't play his best game.

722
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: I thought he played pretty good. I mean, all things considered, the.

723
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 2: Quarterback down there at LSU, Jaden Daniels, I thought he

724
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 2: played pretty good. I thought he played about as good

725
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 2: as anyone could reasonably expect him to given his surroundings.

726
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 2: And by that, I really mean his offensive line. And

727
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 2: so they've got offensive limitations.

728
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: I had one particular LSU buddy that I talked to

729
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: that is a quarterback expert. It's just no one knows it.

730
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 2: And he was saying, this would be different if we

731
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 2: put nuss in, if we put Garrett Nussmeyer in, And

732
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 2: I'm asking him, how's that?

733
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: Like?

734
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 2: What offensive line is he over there warming up with

735
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 2: that he's going to bring onto the field. What's happening there?

736
00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 2: He said, Well, nuss will throw the ball all over

737
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 2: the middle of the field. You know, he'll push it.

738
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 2: He'll push it down the field. Who told you he's

739
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 2: gonna have time to do that? I thought Nussmeyer was

740
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 2: gonna win the job. So I'm not anti nuss Meyer.

741
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 2: But either either Brian Kelly has no clue what he's doing,

742
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 2: and Mike Denbrock over there.

743
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:14,879
Speaker 1: Look, you guys can cast as spurgeons if you want.

744
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 2: On den Brock, I'm saying Brian Kelly is the one

745
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 2: who makes the decisions there. Either he's just he's just

746
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 2: playing Jaden Daniels to spite message boards and Twitter, or

747
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 2: he knows what he's doing with his team and he's

748
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 2: playing the guy that gives him the best chance to win.

749
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 2: That includes yesterday. I think he's standing on that sideline

750
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 2: and looking out there and seeing the same thing I

751
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 2: saw when I watched the replay, and that is an

752
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 2: offensive line getting caved by a defense that really doesn't

753
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 2: have that reputation. So with that in mind, I don't

754
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 2: think he believed that a change at quarterback was really

755
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 2: gonna change much of anything.

756
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 1: Colin, It's time, isn't it.

757
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 2: I'm nervous. I'm really nervous. And it's not just because

758
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 2: my mic keeps curling up. This is this is not

759
00:34:58,160 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 2: the Mike's fault, you know.

760
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,879
Speaker 1: This is It's time to order new T shirts. That's

761
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: all I'm gonna say.

762
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 2: We were at Bryant Denny Stadium last night, supposed to

763
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 2: be in two places yesterday, only made it to one,

764
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 2: which we accept no responsibility for. Of course, it's only

765
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 2: our fault when things go well. The every given Saturday

766
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 2: Tour in week seven, we have got a monster slate

767
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 2: coming up this week. We got big ones all over

768
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 2: the place.

769
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:23,240
Speaker 1: Check it out.

770
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 2: This is the week that USC goes to Utah. Southern

771
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 2: Cal is an underdog at Utah. A lot of you

772
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 2: are writing them off after they lost to UCLA. Two

773
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 2: losses for Utah, how are they going to be favorite? Well,

774
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 2: they are against Southern Cal by three and a half.

775
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 2: That's an eight Eastern time kick By the way, on

776
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 2: Fox elsewhere we have Penn State going to Michigan. I

777
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:51,320
Speaker 2: have a huge place in my heart for Big noon Kickoff,

778
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 2: especially since I went to a night game last night

779
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,760
Speaker 2: and didn't get in bed till six thirty this morning.

780
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 2: So that is the noon Eastern time kickoff game. Bama,

781
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 2: of course is at Tennessee. That is our CBS or

782
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 2: SECLCBS three thirty game of the week. And look at

783
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 2: that one down at the bottom, Oklahoma State at TCU.

784
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,760
Speaker 2: You're getting these games every week in the Big twelve,

785
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 2: huge implications every week across the board virtually. Oklahoma State

786
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:19,280
Speaker 2: at TCU three point thirty on ABC.

787
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 1: I grew up in West Central Georgia.

788
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 2: When they put me to bed at night down there,

789
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 2: they told me stories about legendary rivalries, and the one

790
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:33,439
Speaker 2: that always led the conversation was the one third down

791
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 2: on that screen.

792
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: And that's the third Saturday in October. And I told you.

793
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 2: Guys three weeks ago, and internally I told our people

794
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 2: at the beginning of the season. In this fantasy world,

795
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 2: I have Bama was undefeated going to Kneeland Stadium undefeated

796
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 2: in Week seven.

797
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 1: If that happened. It would take a.

798
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 2: Prison guard to keep me from going to Knoxville, Tennessee.

799
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: Well, guess what we have.

800
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 2: We got undefeated Bama going to undefeated Nieland Stadium. The

801
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 2: Every Given Saturday Tour for the second time in a

802
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 2: month is headed back to Knoxville. We will absolutely take

803
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 2: the opportunity to check out number three Alabama at least

804
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 2: in the AP against number six Tennessee, a top ten

805
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 2: matchup in the third Saturday in October.

806
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,839
Speaker 1: Rivalry. As I told you guys earlier in the show,

807
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:21,919
Speaker 1: a lot of you.

808
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 2: Just don't get it. And that's okay. It's okay that

809
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 2: you don't understand this. It's time for a new generation

810
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 2: of folks to understand what.

811
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:31,800
Speaker 1: That rivalry is all about.

812
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 2: It's different, it's a big time, means a ton and

813
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 2: I've actually been to a few of these games over

814
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 2: the past fifteen years when the nation's attention wasn't on it.

815
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 2: It still has that feel, just not quite the feel

816
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 2: it would have had in the vintage years of that rivalry.

817
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 2: Winning teams smoke cigars, and what's beautiful is even though

818
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 2: a blowout in and of itself is not beautiful. Sometimes

819
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:00,800
Speaker 2: I've been at Bama when they've beaten Tennessee pretty soundly. Therefore,

820
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,359
Speaker 2: they can light the cigars up before the game's over,

821
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 2: and a lot of times the cigar smoke itself forms

822
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 2: a cloud over the stadium, and usually the game's ending

823
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 2: at night. And it's the craziest thing because there is

824
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:17,359
Speaker 2: this man made cloud of cigar smoke that hovers if

825
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 2: you don't have a breeze, and the stadium lights make

826
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,760
Speaker 2: it look like there's a roof that's on the stadium.

827
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 2: It's craziest thing you've ever seen. And the TV cameras

828
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:26,800
Speaker 2: really don't pick it up all that well. Anyway, I

829
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 2: don't expect to blow out either way this Saturday, But

830
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 2: I just want to tell you, Colin, who does Tennessee

831
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 2: play after Alabama?

832
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: Do they have a buy or do they know they

833
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: just had their buy? They play ut Martin.

834
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 2: Okay, that is a good thing, because if Tennessee were

835
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,839
Speaker 2: to pull this off Saturday, I don't know that we've

836
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 2: ever seen a bigger letdown spot in the history of

837
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 2: organized athletics, then.

838
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:49,479
Speaker 1: Tennessee would be in the next week.

839
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 2: So it's good that I think the Skyhawks Warhowks, whoever

840
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 2: they are I think it's good that ut Martin comes

841
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 2: in there. This line opened at about eight and a half.

842
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 2: It's at seven and a half right now. My opinion

843
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 2: on that is odds makers are essentially splitting the difference

844
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 2: between a BAMA without Bryce and Obama with Bryce. We

845
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 2: make the number about BAMA minus three with Jalen Milroe starting.

846
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 2: We make it about BAMA minus eleven with Bryce starting,

847
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 2: because that's how many points we designate to Bryce Young.

848
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 2: I still think we underrate him personally. We are going

849
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 2: to Knoxville Saturday. Actually I'll be there before Saturday. Man,

850
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 2: I can't wait for that. I have been waiting for

851
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 2: that one essentially all my life. I guess the lyrics

852
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 2: from in the Air tonight are appropos here. It's going

853
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,240
Speaker 2: to be an afternoon game. But man, I've been waiting

854
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,240
Speaker 2: for that one pretty much all my life. To see

855
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,839
Speaker 2: a top ten designation on both of those teams, that's

856
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 2: going to be incredible. Okay, let's venture out to the

857
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 2: Big Twelve for a second. This is the most entertaining

858
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 2: conference in the country. We saw it coming in the preseason,

859
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 2: and I'm going to reiterate now the Big Twelve is

860
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 2: the most entertaining conference in the country.

861
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: TCU beat Kansas.

862
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 2: Yesterday and what may have been the game of the

863
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 2: day until we got tonight time and we saw Bama

864
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 2: A and m or maybe even including that game.

865
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 1: Thirty eight to thirty one.

866
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 2: TCU beats Kansas, fumbles finally bit Kansas. Now they they've

867
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 2: been putting the ball on the ground of Fairmountain this year.

868
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 2: They hadn't ha to pay for it, but they finally

869
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 2: paid yesterday. And of course Jaylen Daniels, the quarterback went down.

870
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 2: I thought they got pretty good quarterback play from the backup.

871
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 2: I don't think that's what ultimately doomed them. You know,

872
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 2: Jason Beans, the backup there at Kansas. I thought he

873
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 2: performed and validated himself very well. But Quentin Johnson is

874
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 2: a wide receiver at TCU. We were talking a lot

875
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 2: about last year, and he's doing this year what I

876
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 2: kind of thought he may do last year. He had

877
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 2: fourteen catches for over two hundred yards yesterday. He is

878
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,720
Speaker 2: a Sunday player who just happens to be playing Saturday.

879
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 1: Ball right now. And I want you to pay close

880
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: attention this Saturday.

881
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 2: There are so many big games, but the one happening

882
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,439
Speaker 2: in Fort Worth, Oklahoma State at TCU. It not only

883
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 2: has Big Twelve championship implications, make no mistake about it,

884
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 2: that has college football playoff implications. Because some of these

885
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 2: teams in the Big Twelve are proving to be real

886
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 2: enough come on of these they have to be taken

887
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,800
Speaker 2: into account. I don't care how many teams you thought

888
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 2: one conference or the other would get into the preseason.

889
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 2: The games are actually happening right now. TCU is a

890
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 2: very good team. Oklahoma State's a very good team.

891
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: Now.

892
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,439
Speaker 2: I don't know that anybody's great right now, but they're

893
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 2: all in the running. And so that one's a big

894
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 2: When TCU opens as a three and a half point favorite,

895
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,919
Speaker 2: that's essentially home field, and so Vegas is telling you

896
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 2: two very comparable teams here are going at it.

897
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 1: Kansas, meanwhile, goes on the road to Oklahoma.

898
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 2: Let me have a little exercise here for those of

899
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 2: you in the room that fancy yourselves experts me not

900
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 2: being one of them, of course, because I already know

901
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:44,240
Speaker 2: the answer. Kansas at Oklahoma, Oklahoma is an unmitigated tire

902
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 2: fire disaster.

903
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 1: Right now, what do you think the pointspread is? Who

904
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:50,399
Speaker 1: do you think is favored. How about that.

905
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you three seconds too one. Oklahoma's favored

906
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 2: by touchdown at home. I see a lot of you

907
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 2: already rushing to your nearest device to place that money

908
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 2: on the Jayhawks.

909
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,359
Speaker 1: Hey, look, maybe it's that Tennessee situation. Maybe it's free

910
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: money out there. I don't know. They don't do that

911
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 1: all that often.

912
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,720
Speaker 2: Texas Tech falls to Oklahoma State forty one to thirty

913
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:10,320
Speaker 2: one Oklahoma State.

914
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: Very interesting number here.

915
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 2: They got sixteen touchdown drives already this year of two

916
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 2: minutes or less. How significant is that? How much is

917
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 2: that a returning to their roots for them? They got

918
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 2: sixteen TD drives two minutes or less this year. They

919
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 2: had seventeen of those in all of last year. So

920
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 2: that offense is up a notch or three or five,

921
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 2: which is interesting because it's the same quarterback there. Texas

922
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 2: Tech emptied the chamber yesterday. They may have lost by ten.

923
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 2: They left nothing in the chamber. They had seven fourth

924
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,359
Speaker 2: down attempts and they went four to seven. They had

925
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 2: sixty three passing attempts. They ran one hundred and four

926
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:52,839
Speaker 2: plays yesterday and lost. Now that's important because the team

927
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 2: they played that defense of Oklahoma that was on the

928
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 2: field for one hundred and four plays.

929
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 1: They're not off this week.

930
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 2: They already had their buy So keep in mind as

931
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 2: you're placing those precious shekels of yours on that TCU

932
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 2: Oklahoma State game. One of those defenses, the one that

933
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,360
Speaker 2: has to travel this week, was on the field one

934
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 2: hundred and four plays yesterday. So I think that's significant.

935
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 2: Moving on, Kansas State scored ten points in AMES, but

936
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 2: that's all it took. Kansas State ten, Iowa State nine.

937
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 2: We're not happy about it in ames, but we're gonna

938
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 2: roll with it.

939
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:27,760
Speaker 1: We are zero to three.

940
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 2: In conference play and it's the first time that we've

941
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 2: been this now so it's twenty sixteen. But we're not

942
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 2: here to talk about the losers, unfortunately, we're here to

943
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:37,839
Speaker 2: talk about Kansas State.

944
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 1: They're undefeated in conference play, yet another contender that's still

945
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:42,760
Speaker 1: out there.

946
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 2: The play that determined this game didn't happen in the

947
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 2: fourth quarter, second half. It was like two and a

948
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:51,280
Speaker 2: half minutes into the game and Adrian Martinez ducks a sack,

949
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 2: hits a receiver, broke and tackle eighty one yards for

950
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 2: the touchdown, and at the time you think, Art, we're

951
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 2: just settling in now. You almost decided the game there

952
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 2: because they didn't score again until seven fourteen to go

953
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 2: in the fourth, which is when they kicked a field

954
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 2: goal that ended.

955
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 1: Up winning it.

956
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:11,280
Speaker 2: So there is so much competitive balance in this conference.

957
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: It's amazing. Just to give you an idea, And.

958
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:15,799
Speaker 2: Jesse and Colin, I don't really know what we have

959
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 2: in terms of odds to win the Big Twelve, if

960
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 2: we have any of that, but I'll tell you what

961
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 2: our numbers think. Oklahoma State in Vegas is the current

962
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 2: odds on favorite to win the Big Twelve championship. TCU

963
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 2: is second, Texas is third, Kansas State's fourth.

964
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: But what you need to know is they're bunched up.

965
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 2: There's no separation there, and then Baylor is a little

966
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:42,320
Speaker 2: more distant fifth. Well, i'll tell you the model thinks

967
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 2: Texas is the best team in the Big Twelve right now.

968
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 1: We would favor them by seven on.

969
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,839
Speaker 2: A neutral field with quinn ewers, we would favor them

970
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 2: by seven against Oklahoma State. Tomorrow, we'd favor Oklahoma State

971
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 2: by two against Kansas State.

972
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:57,879
Speaker 1: We'd favor Kansas.

973
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 2: State by two against TCU, and with favorite Tam you

974
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 2: by one against Baylor. This is must see every Saturday.

975
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 2: This conference is must see. Also, Kansas State just a

976
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 2: little note here, fewest points in a road conference win

977
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 2: since nineteen eighty two. They scored ten points first three

978
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 2: game losing street for Iowa State since twenty sixteen.

979
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: It hurts me so much to say that.

980
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 2: We go further out west, pack twelve paint in the

981
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 2: house again, we go further out west. Ucla is off

982
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 2: to an incredible start here under chip Kelly. They have

983
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 2: scored forty points for the fifth time this year. They

984
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 2: beat Utah yesterday forty two to thirty two, and it's

985
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 2: incredible because when you look at the first down stats,

986
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 2: Utah had thirty one first downs and found a way

987
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 2: to lose this game. Utah had won five straight in

988
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,799
Speaker 2: this series by an average of twenty seven points, so

989
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 2: there was a lot of a toning to do for UCLA.

990
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 2: Dorian Thompson Robinson looks great at quarterback. Zach Charbonney looks

991
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 2: great in the backfield. It's everything you hoped you would

992
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 2: have on a more veteran type offense for UCLA. It's

993
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:10,320
Speaker 2: what we thought may happen with Chip Kelly. Finally, having

994
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 2: that kind of click in year, that kind of snap year.

995
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 2: They're off this week, are the Bruins, and then they

996
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 2: go and they play Oregon. So I know I'm talking

997
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 2: about Week seven a lot, and we got a monster

998
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 2: Week seven slate. But Buddy, in Week eight, it gets

999
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 2: real in a hurry out on the West coast, we

1000
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 2: got UCLA undefeated against a red hot Oregon team. Speaking

1001
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 2: of the Ducks, forty nine to twenty two. They beat

1002
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 2: Arizona yesterday, So I don't think the nation is watching.

1003
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:40,839
Speaker 1: Them right now.

1004
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 2: I think the last time most people saw them they

1005
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:47,359
Speaker 2: were getting drug all over Atlanta by Georgia. And I'm

1006
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 2: just telling you, this is a really good team. Since

1007
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 2: that game, they're beating opponents by an average of forty

1008
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 2: nine to twenty four pretty much, with.

1009
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 1: A little decimal point and some odds and ends there.

1010
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,840
Speaker 1: They're good. They're good. You haven't lost again since then.

1011
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:05,839
Speaker 2: Touchdowns on seven consecutive drives yesterday, all seven of them

1012
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 2: by the way on the ground. So bo Nicks is

1013
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 2: having himself a really good year. They're running the ball

1014
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 2: really good too. Oregon only conforded. You know, here's a

1015
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 2: misleading stat This is when you have to take this

1016
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 2: stuff not in isolation but congruent to the rest of

1017
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 2: the box score. They only converted four third downs yesterday.

1018
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,359
Speaker 2: They only went four it eight times. They were running

1019
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 2: the ball so effectively, they just didn't get the third.

1020
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 1: Down very often.

1021
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 2: Three hundred and six yards rushing for Oregon against Arizona,

1022
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:36,240
Speaker 2: seven point five per carrier. Look at bo Nicks seventy

1023
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 2: percent completion guy this season. Wow, what a change of

1024
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 2: scenery will do for a guy. USC beat Washington State

1025
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 2: yesterday thirty to fourteen. They held Washington skate are State

1026
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 2: scoreless in the final forty three minutes of this game.

1027
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 2: No turnovers, just solid play, So this wasn't one of

1028
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 2: those USC turnover laden specials. They just shut Washington State

1029
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 2: down the first six and oh start for USC.

1030
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 1: Since how long ago? Oh six, that's a while back.

1031
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 2: There was a guy, maybe you've heard of him, by

1032
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 2: the name of Pete Carroll, who was coaching USC at

1033
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 2: that time. Kids, And he's long gone, and so are

1034
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 2: those memories. Maybe not, though maybe they're back right now.

1035
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 2: The Pac twelve picture is as muddy as ever, in

1036
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 2: a good way.

1037
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 1: This is a good kind of mudey.

1038
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:30,759
Speaker 2: Our model has USC as the best team out there.

1039
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 2: We've got UCLA, we got Oregon, we got Utah. So

1040
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 2: really you've still got four teams from a power rating

1041
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:40,440
Speaker 2: standpoint in the top tier, and the standings bear that

1042
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,360
Speaker 2: out because it's the same teams.

1043
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:42,719
Speaker 1: At the top.

1044
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 2: You got USC, Ucla, Oregon, Utah. And as I just said,

1045
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 2: we got USC playing Utah this week, we got UCLA

1046
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 2: playing Oregon next week. So a lot of this is

1047
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 2: going to start to sort itself out. We don't have

1048
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 2: to do the hypothetical matchup thing. And keep in mind,

1049
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 2: as you're looking at those odds to win the Pac

1050
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 2: twelve championship, Southern Cal odds on favorite, UCLA right behind him,

1051
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 2: Oregon right behind them in Utah because they just lost

1052
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:10,959
Speaker 2: a conference game little ways back.

1053
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 1: But keep in mind ere a two loss team.

1054
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 2: They've only got one conference loss, so they still control

1055
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 2: their own destiny. And unlike the ACC, the PAC twelve

1056
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 2: has already moved to the new conference title format. They

1057
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 2: have divisions, but they don't mean anything because they're just

1058
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 2: taking the two best teams and putting them in the

1059
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 2: conference title game.

1060
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:33,760
Speaker 1: So you don't have to win your division.

1061
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:35,439
Speaker 2: You just got to be one of the two best

1062
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:38,839
Speaker 2: teams that Pac twelve picture, that Big twelve picture. It

1063
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,920
Speaker 2: is fascinating coast to coast right now. Some added takeaways.

1064
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 2: Yesterday I got several more games to get to you

1065
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 2: here right quick. And then I got your two best

1066
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 2: bets because we've got to move on some games that

1067
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,839
Speaker 2: I think are going to move on us. Arkansas got

1068
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 2: handled by Mississippi State yesterday forty to seventeen. Never felt

1069
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 2: like Arkansas had a shot in this game. I felt

1070
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 2: worse and worse about it throughout the week. kJ Jefferson

1071
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 2: did not play. This is not a team that can

1072
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 2: be functional without their starting quarterback. Mississippi State's five and

1073
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:10,399
Speaker 2: one for the first time since nineteen ninety eight. I'm

1074
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 2: very happy to say that we had them rated top

1075
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 2: fifteen in the preseason, and now a lot of folks

1076
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 2: who have started to catch up. Colin, What out of

1077
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 2: curiosity does the AP have Mississippi State ranked right now?

1078
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 2: Do you know, off the top of your head? Sixteenth

1079
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,719
Speaker 2: still not high enough. Mississippi State is better. There are

1080
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:33,799
Speaker 2: not sixteen teams rather better in the country than Mississippi State.

1081
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 1: How about this?

1082
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 2: By the way, they had one hundred and six rush

1083
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:41,799
Speaker 2: yards per game as of yesterday after this game.

1084
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 1: That's their average.

1085
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:44,920
Speaker 2: That's about as good as you'll ever see a Mike

1086
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 2: Leach offense in the rush yards per game category.

1087
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 1: They've been improving on that statistic this year. That's a

1088
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 1: very good thing.

1089
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 2: So Arkansas is all They're going into a bye week, right, No,

1090
00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 2: They've got to go out to Provo, Utah, which might

1091
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 2: as well be Russia if you live in Arkansas. They

1092
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 2: got to go up there, and they got to suck wind,

1093
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 2: and they got to deal with that thin air, and

1094
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 2: they got to play Brigham Young and they are a

1095
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 2: three point dog on the road.

1096
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:11,719
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, Mississippi State.

1097
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 2: They're headed to Kentucky and they're catching Kentucky at the

1098
00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 2: right time. State is close to a touchdown favorite in Lexington.

1099
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 2: What about Michigan yesterday you got to take this final,

1100
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:24,720
Speaker 2: I think a little bit with a grain of salt. Now,

1101
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:27,880
Speaker 2: we put Indiana on the Raman Noudle Express on Friday

1102
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 2: night lines. If you tuned in, you got it. If

1103
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:33,359
Speaker 2: you didn't, you missed it. As simple as that. We

1104
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:35,719
Speaker 2: expected really good numbers from JJ McCarthy.

1105
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 1: We got him. He had a.

1106
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:42,360
Speaker 2: Career best day in pass attempts, in completions, in passing yards,

1107
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 2: and that's because Indiana was going to sell out and

1108
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 2: stop the run, and they did and it it had

1109
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:50,399
Speaker 2: some success, but there was a trade off there. It's

1110
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:54,280
Speaker 2: the second half shutout that stood out to me. And

1111
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 2: if you didn't watch this game, Mike Hart on the

1112
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:00,239
Speaker 2: coaching staff there at Michigan had a medical issue and

1113
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 2: he collapsed on the sideline.

1114
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 1: They had to cart him off.

1115
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 2: I think it really zapped Michigan and they kind of

1116
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 2: put in just kind of a workman's like performance the

1117
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:12,759
Speaker 2: rest of the day and they disposed of an inferior team.

1118
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:16,800
Speaker 2: But I'm telling you because I saw when that happened,

1119
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:18,359
Speaker 2: and I saw the impact it had on that team.

1120
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 1: I don't think.

1121
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:23,239
Speaker 2: That sort of lacks a daisical performance. If you want

1122
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 2: to call a three touchdown win on the road in

1123
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:26,359
Speaker 2: conference lacks of days school.

1124
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 1: If you want to call it that, you can. I

1125
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:29,360
Speaker 1: think that had an impact on that team.

1126
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:31,560
Speaker 2: I think this is an improving team still, I do

1127
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 2: not think we've seen what they're fully capable of offensively.

1128
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 2: I like what they're rounding into. It's the pass rush

1129
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:40,440
Speaker 2: that will ultimately be the deciding factor. Down the road.

1130
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:42,839
Speaker 2: It wasn't gonna matter yesterday. That's what will matter down

1131
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:46,239
Speaker 2: the road and the rest of their schedule. They have

1132
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 2: Penn State coming in there this Saturday, and Penn State

1133
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 2: is a seven point dog at Michigan, So Wolverine's touchdown

1134
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:54,359
Speaker 2: favorite at home.

1135
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 1: What about Ohio State.

1136
00:52:56,719 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 2: They did to Michigan State what they did in mission

1137
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 2: Chigan State last year, just a different venue.

1138
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:03,719
Speaker 1: Forty nine to twenty. C J.

1139
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 2: Stroud twenty one of twenty six, three sixty one through

1140
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:08,839
Speaker 2: the air, just half a dozen touchdowns.

1141
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:12,280
Speaker 1: We get to use those sorts of phrases with CJ. Stroud.

1142
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 1: We talk in terms of dozens and half dozens.

1143
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:17,759
Speaker 2: Now with his touchdown passing, he did throw a pick,

1144
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 2: so shame on him. Here's the evergreen padlock stat for

1145
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 2: Michigan State, zero point four yards per carry. It just

1146
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:29,239
Speaker 2: keeps getting worse and worse. Conversely, Ohio State ran it

1147
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 2: for five point two per carry. It was domination in

1148
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:35,759
Speaker 2: all phases. There's not really much point in going any

1149
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 2: deeper on this. South Carolina, I can't wait to say

1150
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:44,800
Speaker 2: what I'm about to say. South Carolina twenty four, Kentucky fourteen.

1151
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:49,240
Speaker 2: We checked the calendar. It is October eighth, yesterday October ninth. Today,

1152
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:54,400
Speaker 2: South Carolina's in the win column. October is back. Finally,

1153
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:57,399
Speaker 2: October is back. They may go unfeet of the rest

1154
00:53:57,400 --> 00:53:58,239
Speaker 2: of the year for all I know.

1155
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 1: This is a big win. It was a needed win

1156
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 1: for them.

1157
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:04,439
Speaker 2: They've had a tough time of it as of late.

1158
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 2: They went into their buy, they got right. They went

1159
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 2: on the road against a vulnerable team without Will Levis

1160
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 2: starting at quarterback, and they did what they should do.

1161
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:15,439
Speaker 2: They won as an underdog outright on the road. South

1162
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 2: Carolina's four and two. Now so is Kentucky. I know

1163
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:20,720
Speaker 2: it feels like there's a world's difference between those teams.

1164
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 2: There's not, especially without a quarterback. So let us out

1165
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 2: kind of ballgame. We saw that line drop, It couldn't

1166
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 2: drop far enough because they were not.

1167
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:32,720
Speaker 1: And I repeat not winning that game without Will Levis.

1168
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:37,440
Speaker 2: You would think that this is the time where Kentucky

1169
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:39,839
Speaker 2: needs that buy. They need it badly and they're not

1170
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:41,919
Speaker 2: getting it. They got in Mississippi State coming in there

1171
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 2: South Carolina. In fact, Colin, can I get their schedule

1172
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:48,359
Speaker 2: right quick? Because I don't remember it off the top

1173
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 2: of my head. South Carolina is in an interesting spot.

1174
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:53,239
Speaker 2: I said Carolina was on a buye. They were on

1175
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 2: extended rest because they played the Thursday game the week before.

1176
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 2: They're going into their by now and I think they've

1177
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 2: got A and M after that, so still tough games.

1178
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 2: But they're at four wins right now, and get two

1179
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:07,400
Speaker 2: more of them, get to a bowl at least, and

1180
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:10,239
Speaker 2: then you start stacking any additional chips you can. I

1181
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 2: don't have a whole lot to say about Georgia Auburn

1182
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:15,920
Speaker 2: other than forty two to ten. It's probably about what

1183
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 2: most people would expect in that game.

1184
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 1: Twenty one to fourth quarter points.

1185
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:22,319
Speaker 2: For Georgia for those of you who cared about a

1186
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:25,760
Speaker 2: number larger than just winning by one or more. Seven

1187
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 2: point five yards per carry though, for Georgia stands out

1188
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 2: because that was not movement they were able to get

1189
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:34,320
Speaker 2: the week before, and that's a positive sign. It's weird

1190
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 2: watching stets In Bennett right now. I feel the same

1191
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:41,360
Speaker 2: way about Georgia for a different reason that I cannot

1192
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:43,239
Speaker 2: make the comparison because the message board is going to

1193
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 2: kill me.

1194
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:46,359
Speaker 1: Let me just put it to you this way. There's

1195
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:48,480
Speaker 1: another really high level team that plays in.

1196
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:50,880
Speaker 2: The sec West that I don't think is a finished

1197
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 2: version of themselves, and I think Georgia is the same way.

1198
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:57,399
Speaker 1: Stesan Bennett does not look comfortable right now.

1199
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 2: I think by late November or December, they will have

1200
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:04,480
Speaker 2: figured out whatever it is that is plaguing that offense.

1201
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:08,200
Speaker 2: Relatively speaking, they're undefeated and they'll be fine, or as

1202
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:09,919
Speaker 2: fine as they can be. I'm not saying they're gonna

1203
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:12,440
Speaker 2: light the world on fire, but watching them right now

1204
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:15,280
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter because they're playing inferior competition.

1205
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:18,640
Speaker 1: But watching them right now is just something a little off,

1206
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 1: just a little off.

1207
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:23,320
Speaker 2: Not a crowbar in the bicycle spokes, maybe yet maybe

1208
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:26,320
Speaker 2: like a twig. And so when the bicycle spokes are rolling,

1209
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:29,359
Speaker 2: you can hear it rattling, and it's just it's aggravating.

1210
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:29,840
Speaker 1: More than anything.

1211
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 2: The current odds to win the National Championship have updated

1212
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:37,240
Speaker 2: as of today. This is new as of today, Ohio

1213
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 2: State's the favorite to win the national title. Now Bama's

1214
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:42,800
Speaker 2: right behind them, and Georgia and Bama are tied.

1215
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:44,719
Speaker 1: So Ohio State plus.

1216
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:47,440
Speaker 2: Two hundred odds and Bama note Georgia plus two to

1217
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:50,359
Speaker 2: twenty and then it's clumsing at plus twelve hundred. Next

1218
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:55,399
Speaker 2: up and if you're interested, USC and then Michigan and

1219
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:59,479
Speaker 2: then Tennessee and then UCLA.

1220
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:01,719
Speaker 1: That's interesting looking.

1221
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:04,760
Speaker 2: Oklahoma State's in there, Penn State, TCU O miss Oregon.

1222
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 2: So interesting times in the neighborhood here. We have got

1223
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 2: two games to put on the raman Noudle Express, and

1224
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:14,880
Speaker 2: as I look them up, I want you to remember

1225
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 2: to do one thing for me. I need you to

1226
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 2: like this video and subscribe to this channel. We have

1227
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:24,560
Speaker 2: had a massive influx of both of those things just

1228
00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:27,400
Speaker 2: because I ask, and so I appreciate you guys doing that. Okay,

1229
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 2: two games to put on the Ramaanul Express. Early best

1230
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:34,280
Speaker 2: bets here. Georgia Southern is at home Saturday. They are

1231
00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:39,000
Speaker 2: hosting James Madison and he's undefeated. James is undefeated, and

1232
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 2: he's going into Statesboro. They've already taken down one relatively

1233
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:49,760
Speaker 2: giant brand in Nebraska this year. I think that they

1234
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 2: are going to very much challenge ranked James Madison.

1235
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 1: James Madison's twenty fifth.

1236
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 2: In the JP pole. Mind you, the voters can tell

1237
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 2: you nothing about the team. Don't lie to yourself.

1238
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 1: You can't.

1239
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 2: And you got about half a dozen teams below them

1240
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:06,040
Speaker 2: that would drag them on a neutral field. But whatever

1241
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:10,280
Speaker 2: good for James Madison, one of our forefathers. I had

1242
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 2: a buddy that spelled that fo U r F A

1243
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:18,440
