10
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 2: We'll get to it all. The College Football Slate got

11
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 2: some thoughts about last night's NFL game. Great guests coming

12
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 2: up in about fifteen minutes. Bernie's trivia game resumes at midnight.

13
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 2: We'll get those phone lines going about eleven forty five. First, ever,

14
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: so quickly, allow me just a quick memo to Justin Fields.

15
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 2: You know, buddy, I've said it a thousand times, and

16
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: it doesn't just apply to you. It applies to any

17
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 2: quarterback who's ever tried to make it the National Football League.

18
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 2: The most important trait a quarterback can have is the

19
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: importance of recognition period pre snap reeds, processing coverages. Quarterback

20
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 2: is a position. You play with your eyes. You receive

21
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 2: the ball, you make your post snap reeds. Do that

22
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: match up with your pre snap observations. You've got less

23
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 2: than two seconds to execute. I don't care how fast

24
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 2: you run. I don't care how high you jump, or

25
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 2: if you can throw a ball farther than Uncle Rico.

26
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 2: You can't hold on to the damn ball. You've got

27
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: to get it out of your hand. Rock thirty two

28
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 2: point three seconds to do that. Oh, by the way,

29
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: he looks a little robotic too, but boy's pretty good

30
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: to do that. That requires recognition. Hold that thought. We'll

31
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 2: come back to it later. Those darn coaches, it's all

32
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 2: their fault. Yeah, you meant it. Justin too late, too bad,

33
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: too sad, can't take it back. You tried, We get it.

34
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 2: I think Justin Fields is a high character. Guy's a

35
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: good dude. Just can't play quarterback. Miss owned, folks. You

36
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 2: can delay this as long as you want. You can

37
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: bull junk yourself till the cows come home. He's five

38
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 2: and twenty two. He's lost ten traits. Got me all excited.

39
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: I've got a nunciate now I gotta be more robotic.

40
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 2: Feels has lost ten straight starts. That's the longest Bears

41
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: streak since nineteen sixty six. He's been sacked sixty five

42
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 2: times over the last twenty games. Despite having the third

43
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 2: longest time to throw in the pocket. His receivers, according

44
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 2: to next Gen Stats, have created separation to the tune

45
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 2: of three point four yards perst per targeted reception. Yet

46
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 2: somehow healing complete fifty eight percent of his passes, and

47
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 2: by the way, that separation is the most in the

48
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: NFL in three years. We'll get to some of this

49
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: stuff later. Tough day for the Bears. It's only gonna

50
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 2: get worse. And I respected the Bears and their franchise

51
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: and what they did, and believe be a quarterback could

52
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: make a difference. You just don't have the right one

53
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: right now. But you go ahead and knock yourself out.

54
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: Give more speeches and more press conferences and kumbay A

55
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: and all that good stuff. Meanwhile, if you haven't noticed,

56
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers continue to chug along by now

57
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:26,399
Speaker 2: you've seen once again. They're talented everywhere. They're pretty innovative

58
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 2: on offense, they're very stingy on defense. They're a perennial

59
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: Super Bowl team that will never quite win one. But

60
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 2: they're a perennial Super Bowl team. But regardless, last night

61
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 2: and they're thirty to twelve, went over the Giants. They

62
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: checked every box and they are sending early notice that

63
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: they have designs on being right back in the well,

64
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 2: certainly the playoffs, but maybe even in the Super Bowl.

65
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: What more can you say about brock Party. It is

66
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: almost boring how efficient he is. He never, you know,

67
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: wows and doesn't make the highlight and he can't take

68
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: off and run like Justin Fields can. Uh, but he

69
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: doesn't uncork a pass that makes you scratch your head,

70
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 2: nor does the uncork a pass it says, wow, what

71
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 2: an arm. But the guy makes every decision right and

72
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 2: that's what the position demands. Plus they've got a loaded roster,

73
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: and that's good enough to get back into Super Bowl.

74
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 2: I know some of you folks say, well we need

75
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: to see more. Well, I forget it. He's eight and

76
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: zeros the start in the regular season, and as long

77
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 2: as Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel stay healthy, and there's

78
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 2: no guarantee they will, this offense is going to continue

79
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 2: to explode and be productive and score a lot of points.

80
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 2: McCaffrey one hundred and nineteen yards from scrimmage last night,

81
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 2: Deebo Samuel one nine. That's two forty eight for scoring

82
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 2: at home. And what's interesting is look at both of

83
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: those knuckleheads and the amount of yards they get after

84
00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 2: contact they fight through tacklers. Rowdy Piper would be proud.

85
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: McCaffrey his touchdown. Twelfth straight game scoring a touchdown, which

86
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 2: ties Ludanian Thomlinson for the most in this millennium. If

87
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: you're scoring at home again, and why not, let's add

88
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 2: another good seventh round pick. Perty mister irrelevant in twenty

89
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 2: twenty two ended up leading the team to the NFC

90
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: title game last year before he got hurt last night.

91
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 2: A kid that I'm a big fan of got hurt

92
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 2: his junior year at Michigan. A wide receiver, he was

93
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 2: third or fourth target. His name is Ronnie Bell. Seventh

94
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 2: round draft pick made the team. He's a football player,

95
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 2: and the Woldville forty niner catches his first touchdown pass

96
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 2: keeps both feet in a seventh rounder to another seventh rounder.

97
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 2: That's how you play football. The win thirteenth regular season

98
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 2: Victory's thirteenth straight regular season victory for the Niners shouldn't

99
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 2: surprise anyone. Watch this team. I think they'll be playing

100
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 2: deep into January. Finally, Saturday, ten hours away, we've got

101
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 2: some We've got a Saturday college football lineup that's pretty loaded.

102
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: We are now officially in Week four college football. The

103
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 2: slate clearly is the best of the season. You've got

104
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: high profile teams, you've got high profile games. You finally

105
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 2: got some good early conference showdowns and essentially every conference,

106
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 2: and then you've even got a massive non conference game

107
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: between Notre Dame and Ohio State and South Bend. This

108
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 2: is the type of game day. You mark your spot

109
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 2: on the couch. You might be there twelve hours, and

110
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 2: from stem to stern there are going to be great

111
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 2: games all day, not the least of which will be

112
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,799
Speaker 2: coach Prime and his biggest test yet. Colorado three and zero,

113
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 2: spending all the papers, no more bull junk story of

114
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 2: the season. But you've heard that a thousand times already.

115
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 2: But if the Buffs can somehow hang with Oregons Saturday,

116
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 2: this hype train will take off to new heights. Now.

117
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 2: I really believe that Colorado's got enough team speed to

118
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 2: make it kind of interesting. I really do wish Travis

119
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 2: Hunter were playing, though, But Shador Sanders is a first

120
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 2: round draft choice. Calm, poised, great recognition, extremely intelligent, plays

121
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 2: a position with his eyes, excellent footwork, gets the ball

122
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 2: out of his hands to the right guy accurately. There's

123
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 2: an extremely catchable ball, able to keep plays alive with

124
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,559
Speaker 2: his feet because he's athletic. But he's not a runner

125
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 2: per se. He's a quarterback and he keeps his eyes downfield.

126
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 2: Take notes justin fields. Maybe he will, maybe you won't.

127
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 2: This will be a great quarterback battle in Oregon, by

128
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 2: the way, because Shador Sanders, in my view, has to

129
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 2: be part of the Heisman conversation. He's completed seventy eight

130
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 2: percent of his passes. He's doing for ten touchdowns in

131
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 2: three weeks, and that ninety eight hour drive with a

132
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 2: minute twenty eight not having Travis Henter on the field,

133
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 2: That's just stuff legends are made of. He's a first

134
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 2: round draft choice. Meanwhile, give it up to bow Knicks,

135
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 2: the well traveled bow Knicks. He will provide the biggest

136
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 2: test that Colorado's defense has faced this year. By the way,

137
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 2: bo Nick's also a pretty good duel threat quarterback. One

138
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 2: of the best in the country. Also a Heisman hopeful,

139
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 2: not that I believe he's got a legitimate shot to

140
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 2: win it, but nonetheless he's playing well. This is going

141
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 2: to be a fun game to watch. Oregon, of course,

142
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 2: a huge favorite. You know that they're favored by the Ducks,

143
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 2: or check that the Ducks are favored by three touchdowns.

144
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 2: But look, do I think Colorado can win. No, Here's

145
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 2: where they're going to have an issue in the trenches.

146
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 2: I was told before the season started Colorado had speed

147
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 2: all over the field. They do. I was told they

148
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 2: had a lot of playmaking athletes they do. What I

149
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 2: was told is they didn't have a hell of a

150
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 2: lot of depth, and they sort of built the team

151
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 2: from the periphery, not so much in the trenches, so

152
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 2: their offensive line would be challenged. I think Shudor Sanders

153
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 2: has been sacked about thirteen times already, and I think

154
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 2: Oregon's gonna be able to run the ball. They've already

155
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 2: got a prolific running attack and they bust them long runs.

156
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 2: That's going to open up passing lanes. If my humble

157
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 2: opinion just feels like a fifty one to thirty type game,

158
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 2: I think it flies over the seventy. Both teams are

159
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 2: gonna get their points. Oregon's averaging fifty eighty game. The

160
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 2: Colorado defense is averaging giving up thirty and they can

161
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 2: put up forty. So do the math it should be.

162
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 2: I don't know why it wouldn't be a track meet Saturday.

163
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 2: I haven't bet the game. One game of fired down

164
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 2: so far. For the record, I got Rutgers plus twenty

165
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: four and a half. I think Michigan is very deliberate.

166
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 2: They take seven to eight minutes to score. Greg Ciano

167
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 2: will play them tough. Rutgers is a lot better than

168
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 2: you think. But I digress too. Of the sports biggest

169
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 2: brands Ohio State, Notre Dame, and they match up Saturday night,

170
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 2: Saturday night, and it's a game that could chart the

171
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 2: course for both schools, but also for both coaches. I

172
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 2: know Ryan Day's underheat, which is crazy. He's like forty

173
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 2: eight and four Ohio State. I know he's lost to

174
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 2: Michigan two years in a row. Notre Dame. You know

175
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 2: Marcus Freeman, he's got this team rolling. Only one team

176
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 2: can win tomorrow, though, So what will be interesting is

177
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 2: what will the narrative be for the losing coach. All right,

178
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 2: being coach at Notre Dame requires winning the big games,

179
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 2: and this is like a real big test for Marcus Freeman.

180
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 2: Last year, the Irish gave Ohio State fits Labor Day

181
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 2: weekend on that Sunday, that game, but they didn't win. Okay, Ryan,

182
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 2: they could also use a big win. Frankly, all right,

183
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 2: he's got this remarkable record at Ohio State, but two

184
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 2: straight losses to Michigan have a way of getting these

185
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 2: fick Ohisle State fans a little ticked off. If you

186
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 2: get my drift, Ryan, they were to lose this game,

187
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 2: it would not be good. But you know, let's see

188
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 2: what happens. I like Ohio State. I think they have

189
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 2: too many athletes. I think over a four quarter game,

190
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 2: their athletes make the difference. Florida State another team that

191
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 2: is on the very short list to get to the

192
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 2: Final four. Well, they go to Clemson. It's an early

193
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 2: nine am West Coast kickoff. Florida State had a dominant

194
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 2: win over LSU. Clemson looked terrible against Duke, but since

195
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 2: then things have turned around a little. Never easy going

196
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 2: to Death Valley. Since twenty fourteen, Clemson's is sixty one

197
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 2: and two at home. But this Clemson team is not

198
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 2: your father's Clemson team. Kid Klubnett leaves a lot to

199
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 2: be desired. So we'll see what Florida State can do.

200
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 2: Other games to watch Old Miss at Alabama bamaay in seven.

201
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 2: Bama has looked pedestrian in the last two weeks. Lane

202
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 2: Kiffin will try to beat his old boss. People I

203
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 2: believe in that, I believe are sharp, believe Alabama takes

204
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 2: care of business Handley tomorrow. I really cracked up watching

205
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 2: Robert Griffin lose his mind that Jalen Milroe didn't play

206
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 2: a week two. It was planned. Nick Saban knew he

207
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 2: was gonna beat South Flora. Okay he did. Yeah, it

208
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 2: was only seventeen to three, and they did not look

209
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 2: good doing it. But at the end of the year,

210
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 2: they don't ask Kyle just how many to two touchdown

211
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 2: win even though they were laying thirty one. It was intentional.

212
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 2: He was going to play as two quarterbacks, ty Simpson

213
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 2: and Tyler Buckner just to make doubly sure. Wasn't one

214
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 2: of those deals where the dad called my son's not

215
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 2: getting enough playing time. In literally had nothing to do

216
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 2: with that. Nick Samon doesn't need the attention. If you've

217
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 2: ever been around him, and please, that doesn't drive him.

218
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 2: He's trying to get this team ready and they got

219
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 2: some holes. So he was testing some things in a

220
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 2: game that was very winnable, and it was we'll see

221
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 2: what Jalen Milroe can do Saturday. I'm not so sure.

222
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 2: He's a very dynamic athlete. Ole Missus ranked fifteen. I

223
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 2: got a funny feeling Bama shows up pretty well. Tomorrow,

224
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 2: UCLA visits Utah, the Uthes two time defending Pac twelve champions.

225
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 2: Another situation where Chip Kelly he needs to win a

226
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 2: big game like this to establish himself in the PAC twelve.

227
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 2: Oregon State at Washington State a little under the radar,

228
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 2: but what might be one of the more entertaining games

229
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 2: of the day. It's the Pack two Bowl, right, and

230
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 2: so these guys are both ranked again, both prolific. Washington

231
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 2: State put up fifty on Colorado State fifty to twenty four.

232
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 2: Oregon State arguably the best defense in the Pack two

233
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 2: Pac twelve, whatever you want to call it. Finally, Iowa

234
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 2: number twenty four. Iowa. I think they're ranked twenty four

235
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 2: because they can only score twenty four points a game.

236
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: They're at number seven Penn State. This will be a

237
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 2: real test of whether Iowa's offense has actually improved enough

238
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 2: to compete in the Big Ten. If there's anything you

239
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 2: know about Iowa football, good defense, solid offensively, they typically

240
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 2: couldn't score in a Houselville repute if they had a

241
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 2: fist full of fifties. That's just how they roll. Penn

242
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 2: State has designs on going to the playoffs. I'm not sure.

243
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,719
Speaker 2: They got two games on the schedule at Ohio State

244
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 2: and then the host of Michigan and November. We'll see

245
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 2: what they do. But they do look pretty good so far,

246
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 2: and Drew Aller showing some real flashes. So finally we've

247
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 2: got an outstanding college football slate on Saturday, and and

248
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 2: of course, you know what a great sports weekend coming

249
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 2: up all the way around, coming up gambling Lou Lou Finnacara,

250
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 2: We're gonna jump ahead. We've got some specific plays on

251
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 2: the NFL that Loose specializes in. And you know, we've

252
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 2: got some very pivotal NFL games too. I thought Jason

253
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 2: and Mike did a great job of pointing out the

254
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,479
Speaker 2: real importance of a couple of games and the subtext

255
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 2: and the context of those games, not the least of which,

256
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 2: of course New England and the Jets, and then of

257
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 2: course the Chargers and Minnesota will talk about both of

258
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 2: those games for sure. Tonight show brought to you by

292

Speaker 5: you and them whenever you'll have me on.

293
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 2: Well, you're a specialist, Lou, and you're very good at

294
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 2: what you do, and you're very succinct, and I love

295
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 2: your common sense Omaha approach and the way you break

296
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 2: things down and bite sized pieces. Let's dive right in

297
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 2: because we've got a lot to get to, lou this

298
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 2: is the week we're owing two teams. You typically get

299
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 2: your max effort. We've got to own two teams facing

300
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 2: off against each other before I get your thoughts on

301
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 2: Chargers of Minnesota Brandon Staley making history again. The Chargers

302
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 2: managed to score north to fifty points in their two

303
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 2: games and didn't turn the ball over once. Yet they

304
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 2: didn't win either game. That has never happened before in

305
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 2: thirty three other instances in the history of the NFL.

306
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 2: Chargers are a short dog here. Do you like anybody

307
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 2: in this contest?

308
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 5: Well, first of all, you're exactly right. One of these

309
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 5: teams is going to be zero to three and render

310
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 5: themselves virtually out of the playoffs after this game. And

311
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,199
Speaker 5: this is a tough game to pick as far as

312
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 5: the side is concerned. I definitely agree with the line move,

313
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 5: the drastic line move that started at fifty for the

314
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 5: total and has moved up to fifty four. I definitely

315
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 5: think there's going to be points inside a dome with

316
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 5: artificial turf. I think with a gun to my head. However,

317
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 5: I have to take the home team in Minnesota, despite

318
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 5: the fact that you really getting the jackal and high defense.

319
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 5: I think the Chargers have somewhere in their system something's

320
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 5: broken that they break down when the games get tight. Now,

321
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 5: I know that was brought up to Staley this week

322
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 5: and he got uptight about it. But all I can

323
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 5: do is monitor results.

324
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 2: Well, Lou, you're spot on, and the irony is Brandon

325
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,719
Speaker 2: Day supposed to be defensive specialist and that's where they

326
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 2: struggle the most. Let's move on. What are the games

327
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 2: that really has caught my eye? Another zero and two team,

328
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 2: Denver visits Miami catching six and a half. I actually

329
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 2: and if Miami does not have Jalen Waddell, that'll be huge.

330
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 2: But regardless, I like Denver and the points here your thoughts.

331
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 5: I like where you're going with that Burnie number one.

332
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 5: Miami's catching eighty two percent of the bets right now,

333
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 5: and if there's one thing that could help Denver out,

334
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 5: it would be a rainy day with some wind. And

335
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 5: that's exactly what you're going to get in Miami. Seventy

336
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 5: percent chance of rain showers and twelve mile an hour wins.

337
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 5: And so with that high amount of rain, a Denver

338
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 5: team that's desperate and definitely they're missing Frank Clark and

339
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 5: their safety Simmons. I just look for a game that's

340
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 5: typical NFL, and that is we don't know what's really coming,

341
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 5: and I don't believe in all the points in that game.

342
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 5: I think this is going to be a conservative, sloppy,

343
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 5: ugly game in the elements.

344
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 2: I'm an agreement and Miami when they went at home,

345
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 2: it's typically not by margin. When Denver loses on the road,

346
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 2: it's not by margin. You're getting almost a touchdown. I

347
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 2: want to stay in the same state Houston. Now, the

348
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 2: send off line was ten and I grabbed it immediately.

349
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 2: The line has obviously, you know, come down quite a bit.

350
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 2: Jacksonville having some trouble offensively. I know Houston's got some injuries,

351
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 2: but again another zero to two situation team getting a

352
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,160
Speaker 2: ton of points. I like Houston. Here your thought.

353
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 5: Again, agreement, Bernie, And you know, old school saddles like

354
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 5: me love to gravitate towards division dogs on the road,

355
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 5: and so here's exactly what. We have teams that are familiar,

356
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 5: teams that have history, so to an extent we can

357
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 5: kind of throw out the record. Yeah, the Houston Texans

358
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 5: really are working on their defense, but Jmico Ryans is

359
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 5: going to get that fixed. I look for another ugly,

360
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 5: sloppy game. Again, we're in Florida, so there's going to

361
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 5: be some rain, and I look for that. I like

362
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,959
Speaker 5: the Texans at any number, at eight or above.

363
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, ironically, they've beat Houston's beaten Jacksonville nine of the

364
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 2: last ten. Let's go to New York. New England is

365
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 2: a short road favorite, even though they're row and two, Loue,

366
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 2: this feels like a referendum game for both franchises. Jets

367
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 2: fall to one and two, I think panicles set in.

368
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 2: But if New England fall to zero and three, there'll

369
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,479
Speaker 2: be all sorts of dialogue there too. What are your

370
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 2: thoughts on this game? Lou By?

371
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 5: Again another Division game, and in this one, New England's

372
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 5: look aheadline was two and a half and that's exactly

373
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 5: where it stays here. So not a lot of reaction

374
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 5: from the last week. And I think that when I

375
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 5: look at this game, I think the Jets are right

376
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 5: in a positive sense to try and break the jinks

377
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 5: that's on their back. They're crippled by poor quarterback play,

378
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 5: but in the game that's going to have the most

379
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 5: weather effect of all. I really look for an ugly,

380
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 5: sloppy division, kind of a nineteen seventeen kind of a game.

381
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 5: I lean to the home team, Jets, lou.

382
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 2: Your thoughts on Kansas City Chicago, Kansas City laying a boatload.

383
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 2: But this is one of those rare times if I

384
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 2: was going to lay double digits, this would be the game.

385
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 2: I haven't fired on the game at your.

386
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 5: Thoughts, Yeah, BERNIIM going back and forth. On the one hand,

387
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 5: I want to take Kansas City and just give all

388
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 5: those points because I think there's a grease fire going

389
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 5: on in Chicago. That said, sometimes when a locker room

390
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 5: is us against the world, it turns around and goes

391
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 5: positive for them. I think the Bears, what that's the

392
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,719
Speaker 5: team that if you go to the water cooler and

393
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 5: tell everybody that's who you're going to bet, they'd all

394
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 5: laugh you out of the room. So I think that

395
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 5: with a gun to my head, I'm going to stay

396
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 5: away from it. But with a gun to my head,

397
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 5: I have to lay the points with Kansas City. I

398
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 5: can't get comfortable with what's happening in Chicago, at least

399
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 5: until I see them perform for another week or so.

400
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 2: Couldn't agree more. That feels like a thirty eight to

401
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 2: ten game. Lou, there's a very sharp play you've got

402
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 2: Monday Night that I know you're going to make a

403
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 2: great case for as Philadelphia visits Tampa Bay.

404
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 5: Well, I like the Tampa Bay Bucks here. And what's

405
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 5: interesting is is I missed the juicy six or six

406
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 5: and a half that was offered earlier in the week.

407
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 5: We're now looking at five, and the NFL is a

408
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 5: lot about the number. And while five looks discouraging in

409
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 5: what we saw earlier in the week, I think when

410
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 5: we get later in the week that five could turn

411
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 5: into four and a half or four and five is

412
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 5: way better as a key number than three, three and

413
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 5: a half, four, four and a half. And so I'm

414
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 5: all about the five. With the home team Tampa Bay

415
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 5: Bucks two and zero facing another two and o Eagles,

416
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 5: team Bucks eight days of rest coming off last week's

417
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 5: game and the Eagles on eleven days rest coming off

418
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 5: last week's Thursday night game. I almost wonder if I

419
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 5: hate to say too much rest, but I almost think

420
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 5: that the continuity is going to do Tampa better. And

421
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 5: I love them as a team that believes in itself

422
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 5: at home getting more than four and a half points.

423
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, you make a good case. I think Philadelphia's have

424
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 2: some growing pains with their new offensive coordinator, Baker Mayfield

425
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 2: has been pretty efficient, and I think Philly's a little

426
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 2: banged up in their secondary. There's another game Monday night,

427
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 2: Cincinnati and the Rams. Your thoughts on that game, Lou.

428
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 5: Yet, Bernie, I'll tell you what what I would be

429
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 5: prone to do. And we've seen this number go from

430
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 5: looking at Cincinnati all the way down to Cincinnati seven,

431
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 5: all the way down to two and a half. There's

432
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 5: all kinds of speculation on Burrow. As a gambling man,

433
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 5: I would take the Rams. Now take the two and

434
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 5: a half and hope that Burrow doesn't play. I really

435
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 5: believe he is not playing. We saw a clip today

436
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 5: where the owner, Mike Brown, drove up in a golf cart,

437
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 5: put Burrow on the golf cart. They circled around the

438
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 5: field for a few minutes, had a talk, and then

439
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 5: Burrow got off the golf cart, and I think the

440
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 5: old man told him you're more important to us than

441
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 5: one game. And I think that's how I would play

442
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 5: this game.

443
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 2: No, that's fair, Lou. The Ravens Colts are getting a

444
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 2: lot of talk, as is Buffalo, Washington and Atlanta Detroit.

445
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 2: Do any of those three games catch your fancy?

446
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 5: Buffalo Washington does? I was able. I didn't go to

447
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 5: sleep on that line early in the week and was

448
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 5: able to get to seven. That line gets to six.

449
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 5: Now it's coming back to six and a half, and

450
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 5: I think if people are patient, there's going to be

451
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 5: some public on Buffalo, and I think that seven could

452
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 5: come back. But I'm very high on Washington again. Washington

453
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 5: another environment where we're going to add some rain and

454
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 5: some win along that East coast.

455
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 2: Wrapping up with Loof and a Cara gam Lou on Twitter. Lou,

456
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 2: one of your great strengths is you're disciplined and you're regimented,

457
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 2: and you're not the type of guy to spray the board.

458
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 2: But is there any game I've missed in the NFL

459
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 2: this week that you want to emphasize or talk about

460
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:00,719
Speaker 2: that you'll be involved in.

461
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's an awful lot of Tennessee love. And I've

462
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 5: always been taught to beware of the public. Dog in

463
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 5: Tennessee fits that bill this week, and I think that

464
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 5: there's a lot of reasons to doubt the spot for Cleveland,

465
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 5: but I really think there's a lot in Cleveland and

466
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 5: this is a good matchup for them. I'm prone to

467
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 5: lay the three and a half at home and take

468
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 5: Cleveland as a home favorite minus three and a half,

469
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 5: and I think even though with a very low total

470
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 5: thirty nine thirty nine and a half, I like that

471
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 5: Cleveland defense and I like them to bounce after last week.

472
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 2: Lou, great stuff is always a good luck this week,

473
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 2: and of course we'll get you on sooner rather than

474
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 2: later as the NFL season continues to take shape.

475
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 5: Bernie, I appreciate having me on, Thanks so much, and

476
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 5: good luck to you as will sir.

477
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 2: Thank you, buddy. That's Lou Finnacarrow. Find him a gamb

478
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 2: Lou on Twitter. Also, he's an expert on UFC and

479
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 2: we'll have him on down the road as the big

480
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 2: fights come upon us. Quick question, why wasn't DeSean Watson

481
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 2: suspended after shoving a ref Monday night? Well, I think

482
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 2: I've got some answers. You may may not like him,

483
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 2: but we'll dive into that next. The first let's go

484
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 2: to our guy who always molly wops the competitions.

485
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 6: Kevin figures with the latest Thanks Bernie, I got some

486
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 6: moving and shaking in the baseball standings on Friday night,

487
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 6: the last ten or so days of the regular season

488
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 6: got the Padres winning their eighth in a row. It

489
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 6: was a four to two victory over the Cardinals. There

490
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 6: are four games out of the final wildcard spot in

491
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 6: the National League. The Brewers hammer of Miami sixteen to

492
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 6: want to clinch a playoff birth. Their magic number to

493
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 6: clinch the NL Central is one. The Cubs defeated Colorado,

494
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 6: while Arizona gave up three home runs to Aaron Judge

495
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 6: and he lost to the Yankees. The Reds also lost

496
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 6: to Pittsburgh, so the Cubs lead the Marlins by one

497
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 6: game for the final wildcard spot, while the Reds were

498
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 6: a game and a half out and the American League

499
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 6: that Twins clinched the Central Vision with a victory over

500
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 6: the Angels. Astros are back in first place in the

501
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 6: American League West after beating Seattle eight to five, along

502
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 6: with the Astros losing to Kansas City Toronto with a

503
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 6: victory over Tampa six to two. College football Friday Air

509
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: Back to Bernie Fredo.

510
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 2: Okay, thanks Kevin, appreciate it, buddy, And by the way, folks,

511
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 2: in nine minutes, the phone lines open up. Bernie's trivia game.

512
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 2: Bernie's been that trivia game resumes. We apologize for the

513
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 2: delays and the peccadillos and things we've had, but we

514
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 2: are only in round eight. We've got the standings out

515
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 2: and Shay will update the standings early in the week,

516
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 2: so you know how it rolls. Be ready to roll.

517
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 2: We'll take your calls. Phone lines open up at eleven

518
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 2: forty five Pacific to forty five Eastern. Why wasn't DeShawn

519
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:01,479
Speaker 2: Watson suspended? People have been asking. You know, he shoved

520
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 2: an official during the Browns game against Pittsburgh on Monday night,

521
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 2: but was not ejected, not suspended, no fine, no nothing.

522
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 2: By the way, Watson had a Knight had two personal

523
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,959
Speaker 2: files for face masking defenders when they were pursuing him

524
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 2: on scrambled plays and then after that scum ensued in

525
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 2: which Watson made contact with the official. The Watson, I

526
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 2: guess the ref was trying to separate Watson from the Steelers' sideline,

527
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 2: but then Watson grabbed the official by the shoulders and

528
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 2: shoved them aside, and there was some speculation that, you know,

529
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 2: he be suspended. Maybe it never came close to materializing,

530
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 2: and the NFL network gave some sort of explanation. But

531
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 2: here's what's odd. First, they gave the definition right. It

532
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 2: says quote unnecessary physical contact with a game official is

533
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 2: very direct in the NFL's rule book. Under no circumstance

534
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 2: is a player allowed to shove, push, or strike an

535
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 2: official in an offensive, disrespect or unsportsmanlike manner. The players

536
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 2: should be disqualified from the game, and any such action

537
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 2: must be reported the commissioner, who may impose for their discipline.

538
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 2: None of that happened, not even close. By the way.

539
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 2: Not only did the field the crew on the field

540
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 2: not make the call, but irrespective of the crew not

541
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 2: making the call, the league's executive vice president of Football Operations,

542
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 2: Troy Vincent, he's got the ability to make the call

543
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 2: from the league's office in the Game Day Center New York.

544
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 2: He can eject them from there, but they didn't do it. Now,

545
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,959
Speaker 2: I guess an NFL spokesperson was reached to. The explanation

546
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 2: was quote in the judgment of the officials, the contact

547
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 2: did not rise to the level of a foul. Okay, hmm,

548
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 2: maybe not a flagrant file, but it sures how to

549
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 2: look like one to be. Officials are called upon to

550
00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 2: maintain order on the field, and sometimes while performing those duties,

551
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 2: there's an inadvertent contact between players and officials that was

552
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 2: not inadvertent. Okay. Two players were rejected from games last

553
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 2: season for making unnecessary contact with officials, one for an elbow,

554
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 2: another for a push. Now what's interesting is, you know

555
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 2: there have been some people vocal from the teams that

556
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 2: have spoken out something. The language is very clear. The

557
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 2: error was on the league office for not calling in

558
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 2: the injection because that's their standard and it's up to

559
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 2: them to police it equally. So this sends a message.

560
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 2: I mean, if somebody does that this week, and I

561
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 2: don't care about the what aboutism people get all crazy

562
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 2: about it's hypocrisy. Why did Watson get away with it?

563
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 2: Don't really in the grand Ski. I don't care. Watson's

564
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 2: got enough issues of his own, including block and peep

565
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 2: them on Twitter. This week, they after giving another press

566
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 2: conference to their speech, saying that didn't really bother me.

567
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 2: Comes with the territory. I know you all hold you

568
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 2: to a high standard. I get you shut up please.

569
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 2: The speech is, man, they're killing me all these speed. Now.

570
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 2: One of the criticisms is, you know, there's this narrative

571
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 2: that some officials they're able to officiate in high pressure

572
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 2: environments like Monday Night's game without reacting. But there's an inconsistency.

573
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 2: And this is the issue with NFL referees and it

574
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 2: has been for quite some time. I don't care whether

575
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 2: it's holding or past interference and now you know, shoving

576
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 2: an official or pushing an official. And I guess when

577
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 2: the crew talked about it, they all agreed. The decision

578
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 2: not to eject Watson for the contact was unanimous because

579
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 2: they think the bar should be higher for the ejection. However,

580
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 2: the truth of the matter is, in the past, players

581
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 2: have been rejected for the same or less, and so

582
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 2: what is the standard, what is the consistent what is

583
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 2: the uniformity? Not only for you know what was Monday Night.

584
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 2: But for the rest of the season, the reality is,

585
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 2: here's the reality. You've got a money game. You don't

586
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 2: want a QB one kicked out of a primetime game,

587
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 2: especially the Shawn Watson, a guy who's kind of butt

588
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 2: butts in seats before, you know, basically taking two years off.

589
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 2: And you all know why Deshaun Watson was elked. But

590
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 2: people are wondering will he will he can he regain

591
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 2: that form? Plus there's no short as of hate watchers

592
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 2: out there that probably hope he doesn't, right, But the

593
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 2: longest short of it is, it's another NFL inconsistent situation

594
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 2: where you know, you don't enforce the rules consistently or

595
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 2: something would you know, say fairly And in the end,

596
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 2: all people will remember Watson and the Browns. They lose.

597
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 2: They lost twenty six to twenty two, and the deciding

598
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 2: points came after Yes, DeShawn Watson fumbled in the fourth

599
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 2: quarter and TJ. Watt took it to the house sixteen

600
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 2: yards for a touchdown. Well maybe they just felt sorry

601
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 2: for Deshaun Watson. Maybe or maybe not, I don't know.

602
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 2: Come it up. There are a lot of significant betting

603

623
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,600

640
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 2: Frados Trivia game with Shay at the controls resumes, looking

641
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:15,280
Speaker 2: forward to haven Y All right, Clemson hosts Florida State.

642
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 2: That game actually kicks off in about nine hours and

643
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 2: ten minutes. Clemson is a home underdog catching two and

644
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 2: a half in Florida State. The last time Clemson was

645
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 2: a home underdog October one, twenty sixteen, they were a

646
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 2: one point underdog to number three ranked Louisville. Oh. Yes,

647
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 2: Clemson did win the game out right. Louisville came to

648
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 2: town with Lamar Jackson. I don't like Clemson. This Saturday,

649
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 2: we shall see Cincinnati. They make their entree. They're made

650
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 2: in voyage into the Big Twelve, as they will play

651
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 2: Oklahoma coming off of straight up loss. Cincinnati's past five

652
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:58,280
Speaker 2: games following a straight up loss, they've gone under the total.

653
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 2: By the way, Oklahoma's offense looks very good. So you

654
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 2: saw three weeks ago, Colorado went outright against TCU as

655
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 2: a twenty one point underdog. Only three teams in the

656
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 2: history of college football have won multiple games as an

657
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 2: underdog of twenty plus points in the same season, going

658
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 2: all the way back to nineteen eighty two. Northwestern did

659
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 2: it in eighty two, Louisiana Monroe did it in twenty

660
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 2: twenty one, and Georgia Tech did it in twenty twenty two.

661
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,320
Speaker 2: Interestingly enough, it's happened twice in the last three years.

662
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:36,320
Speaker 2: I cannot see. I wish Colorado had Travis Hunter playing,

663
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 2: they'd have a better shot. He's that valuable. But it's

664
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 2: it's just not a good matchup and it's very tough

665
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 2: to play an outs And it doesn't matter what happens.

666
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 2: Colorado could go there tomorrow and lose ninety seven to thirteen.

667
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 2: They've won the season already. Okay, we're all watching, and

668
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 2: you're gonna keep watching. And I'm loving this. I'm loving

669
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 2: what Dion's doing. By the way, Baylor three against the

670
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 2: spread against top ten teams since the start of the

671
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:07,760
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen season. Knowe that for Saturday in Washington State

672
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 2: five and one against the number their last six games,

673
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 2: is a home underdog. And yes, Washington State is a

674
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 2: home underdog against Oregon State. And so there you have it,

675
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 2: just a little, you know, some little dud dads for Saturday.

676
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 2: By the way, we're getting heavily into the NFL later

677
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 2: and certainly on my Saturday night show. But this is

678
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 2: that week where O and two teams do not want

679
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 2: to go oh and three's heard Gamble and Lussey. And

680
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 2: by the way, there are eighth and two teams that

681
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 2: tee it up this weekend. Only one such instance where

682
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 2: the two oh and two teams play each other. That's

683
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 2: the Chargers at Minnesota, Chargers catching a point and a half.

684
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 2: Whenever that happens, the underdog, when two winless teams play

685
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,399
Speaker 2: that are owing to the underdog covers about sixty four

686
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 2: percent of the time. I cannot back Brandon Staley and

687
00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 2: that hot dumpster fire. Can't do it, won't do it.

688
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 2: But two teams cover Week three in the last twenty

689
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 2: two seasons about fifty eight percent of the time. And

690
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 2: if an zero to two team didn't cover the spread

691
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 2: either of their first two weeks and they're zer and

692
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 2: two straight up and to two against the number, well

693
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,879
Speaker 2: you got a situation where they cover about sixty three

694
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,320
Speaker 2: percent of the time. By the way, the Cincinnati Bengals,

695
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 2: who have not given up on there, were not only

696
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 2: oh to two, but both of their losses were to

697
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,800
Speaker 2: divisional opponents. And there's only seven times in NFL history

698
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 2: that a team has started on to two with both

699
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 2: losses coming to divisional opponents. In those instances, none of

700
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 2: those teams made the playoffs. But I think Cincinnati can

701
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 2: break that mold. Yes I do. I like lou Anarumo

702
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 2: and their defense. Nobody's talking about that, he'll pick Stafford

703
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 2: off twice. By the way, the Chargers they scored fifty

704
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 2: plus points with zero turnovers in their first two games,

705
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 2: but lost them both. Thirty three teams in NFL history

706
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 2: have done that fifty or more points in their first

707
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 2: two games and didn't turn the ball over either game game.

708
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 2: None of them ever started on too. The Chargers have

709
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 2: started O two. They continue to set records under Brandon

710
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 2: Staley and the Wrong Way Here it comes Bernie's Trivia Game,

753
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 7: Uh shay, all right, let's get started with the first question.

754
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 7: All right, guys, who is the reigning NFL Coach of

755
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:19,479
Speaker 7: the year?

756
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 9: Oh how about how about Andy Reid?

757
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 8: He should be.

758
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 2: Well that now this is you think it's a tough one,

759
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 2: but then when you hear it, you go, oh yeah,

760
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,280
Speaker 2: how could it not be him? He was Brian Dable

761
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 2: with a New York Giants because they came out of

762
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 2: nowhere last year. Although I told Jason McIntyre that the

763
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 2: Giants would be good and they were. You have Brian Dable. Wow,

764
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 2: that's all right, that's all right, Steve. You got you

765
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 2: got plenty of great Kansas City neighborhood barbecue places. I

766
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 2: know the tourists like to go to Gates, which is

774
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 2: All right, what do we got for the bet? All right?

775
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 7: Number five USC is taking on unranked ASU. Later today

776
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 7: at seven thirty Pacific Standard time, the over sun under

777
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,840
Speaker 7: is set at sixty two. What are you guys taking?

778
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 9: Oh guys, I mean, come on, this is this is

779
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 9: this is an absolute cake walk here.

780
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 2: Man.

781
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 9: USC will probably run up eighty on these obvious guys

782
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 9: no defense. But the next mahomes is the QB at

783
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:45,720
Speaker 9: at USC. So take take USC all day. That's another

784
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 9: free that's another free money one dude.

785
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 2: All right, thanks Steve, So listen, say, I feel like

786
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 2: USC puts up fifty Arizona's a dumpster fire because they

787
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 2: could just get thirteen. There's no way I can look

788
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,399
Speaker 2: to the under here, so I'll lop on the over

789
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,760
Speaker 2: sixty two. I think he said sixty two? Is that correct?

790
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 8: Yeah?

791
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 7: They ever said at sixty two?

792
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. Uh, I don't know how you

793
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 2: look anywhere else, but the over in that game, because

794
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 2: you know you, USC's defense is not great by the way,

795
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 2: I think I think they're gonna have a come up

796
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 2: and later in the year against Washington. We shall see though,

797
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 2: but yeah, uh, I'm gonna go with people in that

798

00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're on fire.

805
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 2: There are four games back of the Cubs, Poppy, Are

806
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 2: they gonna? Are they gonna? Are they gonna shock the world?

807
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 2: And and back during to the playoffs?

808
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:51,839
Speaker 8: Do you know what I think they are?

809
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 2: I think they are, Bernie.

810
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 8: They're gonna speak into someone somehow, some way universe is

811
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 8: gonna help them. Man, what do you think, Bernie?

812
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:00,320
Speaker 2: I have no idea, but I frankly would like to

813
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 2: see it happen under the Cubs had just lost ten

814
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:06,879
Speaker 2: in a row. They finally won Friday night. But yeah,

815
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 2: but it doesn't matter. The potteries are good.

816
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 9: Now.

817
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:11,280
Speaker 2: I'd be a great story. I don't think the Dodgers

818
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 2: would like to see that, but be there to me. Okay,

819
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 2: what question do we have for Poppy?

820
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 7: Sche All right, so go ahead and name one Heisman

821
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 7: finalist from last year who didn't win. So you just

822
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 7: have to name one of them.

823
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:29,359
Speaker 5: Oh Heisman candidates that you didn't win.

824
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 2: Well, that's a tough one, honor, that's not my basic ers, Well,

825
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 2: of course you get you got the time is up,

826
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:44,319
Speaker 2: my good man. Of course, CJ. Stroud of Ohio State,

827
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,839
Speaker 2: who's standing right next to Caleb Williams, He's won.

828
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 4: That's a good one.

829
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 7: All right, All right, let's move along to the bet

830
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 7: so Number ten Oregon is taking on number nineteen Boulder

831
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 7: later today at twelve thirty pm Pacific Standard time. Oregon

832
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 7: is minus twenty one going into the matchup. Does Oregon cover?

833
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 2: You know what? That's a good game, Dionce Sanders Prime

834
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 2: Time as Britty was.

835
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 5: Saying Hunter's not there, and man, are they gonna cover

836
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 5: minus twenty one?

837
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 8: That's a tough question. That Colorado is good.

838
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:24,240
Speaker 7: But oh man, I'm gonna have.

839
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:25,240
Speaker 9: To roll with Oregon.

840
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:29,319
Speaker 8: I don't think Colorado's gonna have anything to cover that, you.

841
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 2: Know What's okay? Thanks Poppy. I gotta tell you, Shay,

842
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:35,240
Speaker 2: I'm gonna hold my nose and take the points. Uh.

843
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 2: Colorado's got team speed all over the field. They'll play

844
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 2: to the final whistle. I think Oregon rolls out of

845
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 2: bed and puts up fifty, but I think Chicago or

846
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 2: Chicago Colorado can put up thirty. I really believe that

847
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 2: so I'm gonna hold my nose and take the three touchdowns.

848
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 7: All right? Sweet? So for our next caller, we got

849
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:56,959
Speaker 7: Kurt from California.

850
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,399
Speaker 2: How having Kurt back again? How you doing, Kurt? Glad

851
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:00,879

Speaker 2: Well, thank you sir. Here I think it from yes, sir,

854
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:10,839
Speaker 2: Florida State was looking ahead, oh, with Boston College last week. Yeah,

855
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 2: I think you're right. It was a little bothers hime

856
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 2: that their defense did not play well, although Boston College

857
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 2: always plays them tough if you look at their history,

858
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:20,959
Speaker 2: I'm in agreement with you. I think they were looking

859
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 2: ahead to Death Valley Saturday, and I like Florida State Saturday.

860
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:25,839
Speaker 2: I'm an agreement with you.

861
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 7: All right, guys, how many NFL games will take place

862
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 7: on this Monday, the twenty fifth?

863
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 9: True?

864
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 2: There you go, there's more than two NFL games this Monday.

865
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 7: There's only one game this Monday.

866
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 2: No, I know you got Cincinnati and the Rams, right,

867
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:54,279
Speaker 2: and then you got Tampa Bay and Philadelphia.

868
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 7: My, oh my god, this is it's okay.

869
00:47:58,120 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 2: Well, we're gonna give Kurt the points he said to you.

870
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:03,919
Speaker 2: That's right, it's all good. It's all good. We all

871
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 2: that's why they put that's why they put a Racers

872
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:09,800
Speaker 2: on pencil. All right, what a dump state, What a

873
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 2: dumb statement from back in nineteen forty two. Okay, go ahead,

874
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 2: what do we got next? All right?

875
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,839
Speaker 7: So the Steelers are taking on the Raiders at five

876
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,959
Speaker 7: to twenty pm on Sunday. The over under is set

877
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:20,959
Speaker 7: at forty three.

878
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 2: Who are you guys taking under? Yeah? I think I'm

879
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 2: gonna go under as well. Pittsburgh has not been able

880
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 2: to run the ball, but neither have the Raiders, and

881
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 2: I think you're gonna see a very hard fought contest

882
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 2: and points will be the premium. I think you're looking

883
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 2: at a twenty to seventeen tech game. I'm gonna go

884
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 2: under as well. All right, sweet total that should have

885
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 2: total forty three and a half or what would you

886
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 2: say it was?

887
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,359
Speaker 7: The totals forty three?

00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 2: Yes, it's a big world out there. It's evening somewhere

894
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 2: and it's morning somewhere. So let's let it rip. What

00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 7: So, Mike, which team lost to the Georgia Bulldogs last

897
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 7: year for the College Football Playoff National Championship? So which

898
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 7: team lost?

899
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 5: Oh?

900
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 8: That's the TCU.

901
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 2: There you go, tc horn Frogs. Yeah. Did Georgia just

902
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 2: scored again during this call? All right?

903
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 7: After the picking on the Mets Later today at a

904
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 7: round one oh five pm Pacific Standard time, the over

905
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 7: under a set at seven and a half with Jose

906
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:38,719
Speaker 7: Quintana pitching for the Mets and Zach Wheeler pitching for

907
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:39,320
Speaker 7: the Phillies.

908
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:44,360
Speaker 8: Pick a size.

909
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 7: No, it's so the over under a set of seven

910
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:49,920
Speaker 7: and a half runs.

911
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 8: Well, hopefully has a good ball club, but the Mets

912
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 8: have been so inconsistent. I will take a chance.

913
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 2: To pick the over. I actually like the under in

914
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 2: this game. You got two pretty good pictures with good

915
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:09,800
Speaker 2: eras and Zach Wheeler is a big time strikeout pitcher.

916
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 2: His ratio of strikeouts to walks as tremendous. So the

917
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 2: winning team would have to score a minimum five runs.

918
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 2: I like the under in this game, but we'll see

919
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 2: what happens. Good luck, Mike, Thank you, Mike? All right?

920
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 2: Who we got next? Jay? All Right?

921
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:27,800
Speaker 7: Next, we got Day from Phoenix.

922
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:30,319
Speaker 2: Day from Phoenix's I think he's near I haven't seen

923
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 2: the standings, but Dave's got me near the top. If

924
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:32,799
Speaker 2: I'm not.

925
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:35,839
Speaker 7: Mistaken, Yes, Dave is close to the top.

926
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 2: Oh, how you doing, Dave?

927
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 10: Hey, welcome good, welcome back, Bernie. I could have swore

928
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,360
Speaker 10: there's only one Monday game this week in the NFL.

929
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 10: Maybe I'm wrong.

930
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 2: Well, we're gonna double check that. But everything I have

931
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 2: observed is the doubleheader we just talked about Tampa Bay

932
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:57,240
Speaker 2: Philly and since he and the Rams. But be guys,

933
00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 2: may let's onward and upward. What do we got?

934
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 7: Shake, So, which current NCAA football head coach scored an

935
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:11,359
Speaker 7: NFL touchdown in an MLB home run in the same day.

936
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:12,840
Speaker 8: Well, that would have to be sanders.

937
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:17,319
Speaker 2: Dam There you go. I remember that actually was in

938
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:21,359
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety two with the Braves and the Falcons, and

939
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 2: that the ESPN did a thirty for thirty on it. Anyway,

940
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:25,279
Speaker 2: I digress. What do we got?

941
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 7: And then the Texans are taking on the Jaguars this

942
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:31,840
Speaker 7: Sunday at ten am Pacific Standard time on Fox. The

943
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:34,800
Speaker 7: over under is set up forty four. What are you taking.

944
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 8: Oh wow, forty four.

945
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 2: Forty four, I've got.

946
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 8: You'd say, forty four thirty.

947
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,479
Speaker 1: Four, forty four four forty four.

948
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 10: All right, I'm gonna I'm gonna go with the under.

949
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 10: I've got the Jaguars in my survival pool, so I

950
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 10: just hope they win somehow.

951
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 2: I've got to go with the under as well. The

952
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:59,360
Speaker 2: Jags offense has not been solid, and uh, I think

953
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 2: you're gonna have some serious weather conditions there which may

954
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 2: make for a sloppy field. This feels like a twenty

955
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:09,759
Speaker 2: to thirteen type game for me, So I'm gonna go

956
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:10,359
Speaker 2: under as well.

957
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:17,759
Speaker 7: All right, sweet and all right, thanks, thanks Dave, Thanks Dave.

958
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 7: And that's like, it's it, Yeah, that's it.

959
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 2: Okay. So we got six callers in great job everybody.

960
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 2: We got the same good cast of characters, and so

961
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 2: Shay would Now you'll have to grade these bets first,

962
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:33,800
Speaker 2: But when when can you have the standings out? I

963
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:35,879
Speaker 2: know people will be chomping at the bit to see

964
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 2: the updated standings.

965
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 7: So the standings will be posted on Ethan's Twitter. We're

967
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:43,800
Speaker 7: for everyone. We'll have hopefully.

968
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 2: Tag Fox Sports Radio and tag me as well, and

970
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:52,239
Speaker 2: it from the Fox Sports Radio handle as well.

971
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:54,399
Speaker 7: Yeah, we'll change we will change out about want people

972
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:56,319
Speaker 7: people on holfway through, but we can you know what

973
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 7: we'll do.

974
00:52:56,680 --> 00:53:00,319
Speaker 2: Both well, Ethan had been doing both. Yeah, I'd been

975
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 2: doing bull so folks can see it, don't have to

976
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 2: search too far from it. So that'll be round eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve,

977
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:09,800
Speaker 2: four weeks after tonight. I'll be here all four weeks

978
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:13,399
Speaker 2: and we'll keep it rolling. And you know, good job

979
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 2: by everybody. People are getting those trivia questions. You have

980
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:18,840
Speaker 2: some good questions there. They're not crazy, but they're not

981
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:24,839
Speaker 2: laps either, so so you know, good stuff coming up.

982
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:29,799
Speaker 2: Is something wrong with the Alabama Crimson Tide. We'll dive

983
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 2: into that. And my thoughts on Nick Saban, would he

984
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 2: really retire after this year? Surely you, Jess, you don't

985
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 2: know the guy. You don't know what the hell you're

986
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 2: talking about if you think he would really retire after

987
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:43,000

Speaker 2: you live from the tirerac dot com studios here in

Speaker 2: Las Vegas, will take you up to two am Pacific,

998
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:21,759
Speaker 2: five am Eastern. One of the teams in battle Saturday,

999
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 2: the Alabama Crimson Tide. For the first time in nine years,

1000
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 2: Alabama will enter a game ranked outside the top ten,

1001
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:34,919
Speaker 2: and so people have been scratching their heads this week.

1002
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:38,840
Speaker 2: Is something wrong with Alabama? His nick sabored and tired burnout?

1003
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,919
Speaker 2: Is he gonna quit? No chance. You don't know the guy.

1004
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 2: I was round him enough when he was at Michigan

1005
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:46,839
Speaker 2: State in nineteen ninety five, trust me. And the other

1006
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:49,360
Speaker 2: thing that I thought was odd is they kept talking

1007
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 2: about the fact that, well Jalen Milroe didn't play the quarterback,

1008
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:56,440
Speaker 2: he wasn't great against Texas, that he was benched for

1009
00:54:57,040 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 2: the UCF USF game. He was not benched. He was

1010
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:04,080
Speaker 2: not benched. Nick Saban had intended to see what Tyler

1011
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:07,440
Speaker 2: Buckler could do the transfer from Notre Dame. Buckner was

1012
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 2: underwhelming at Notre Dame and even more underwhelming Saturday against USF,

1013
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:16,719
Speaker 2: completing just five or fourteen passes thirty four yards. He

1014
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:22,320
Speaker 2: was benched and they brought in the young buck ty Simpson.

1015
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,760
Speaker 2: He led two touchdown drives. But let's face it, Bama

1016
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:28,239
Speaker 2: lane on the running game and they only allowed ty

1017
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:31,400
Speaker 2: Simpson to throw nine passes. So you'll see Jalen Milroe

1018
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 2: back for Saturday's game against Ole Miss, where Obama's a

1019
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:40,799
Speaker 2: seven point favorite. Okay, So Bama went seventeen to three

1020
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:45,919
Speaker 2: on the road. And the concern is that on both

1021
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:48,920
Speaker 2: sides of the ball, in the interior line, skilled players

1022
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:52,040
Speaker 2: right and down the line, Bama doesn't look anything like

1023
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 2: a playoff team. They should have been. Frankly, you could

1024
00:55:56,040 --> 00:56:00,160
Speaker 2: have put Billy Bardy a quarterback and Bama should have

1025
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:02,840
Speaker 2: been so superior to USF and all the other aspects

1026
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:05,360
Speaker 2: they were in your thirty one point favorite. It shouldn't

1027
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 2: have mattered the quarterback play should have been a non factor,

1028
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 2: but frankly, Alabama's offensive line did not look great until

1029
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:16,879
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. They sprung Roydale Williams for a couple

1030
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:20,080
Speaker 2: of big runs. Roydale Williams carried Bama one hundred and

1031
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 2: twenty nine yards on the night, but the rending game

1032
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:25,839
Speaker 2: was completely punchless. In the first half. The line did

1033
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:28,280
Speaker 2: not do a very good job of protecting either Tyler

1034
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 2: Buckner or ty Simpson, giving up five sacks, and again

1035
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:36,720
Speaker 2: this is against South Florida. One thing that is concerning

1036
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 2: for Alabama. They've now allowed twelve sacks in three games.

1037
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 2: Compare that to the twenty twenty two season, and last

1038
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:47,600
Speaker 2: season was not one Obama's great teams. They have some

1039
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:50,320
Speaker 2: very close nail butter games, could have easily lost to Texas,

1040
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 2: Texas A and m obviously got beat by Georgia. Bama

1041
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 2: only gave up twenty two sacks all of last season.

1042
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:01,520
Speaker 2: They've already given up twelve and three games this season

1043
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:04,399
Speaker 2: and they have you'd even gotten into SEC play at

1044
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 2: so what's the root issue. There's lots of fingerpointing going

1045
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 2: on all over the place. Bama once again has a

1046
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 2: new offensive coordinator. They should be used to it because

1047
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 2: they get a new damn offensive coordinator literally every other year.

1048
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:20,520
Speaker 2: Tommy Reese, who was also hired away from Notre Dame

1049
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 2: after Bill O'Brien joined the Patriots. Well, Saban has other

1050
00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 2: guys in the room. I mean that Bama meeting room.

1051
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 2: They call it the infield, in the outfield. They almost

1052
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:33,480
Speaker 2: have thirty coaches on their staff, and Tommy Reese is

1053
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 2: currently calling plays. But Saban obviously has the autonomy to

1054
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 2: strip the play calling duties from Reese, and he's got options.

1055
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 2: Former head coach at Tennessee Derek Dooley, his father Vince Dooley,

1056
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 2: the legendary Georgia coach, and he's even been a coach,

1057
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 2: he's been an assistant in the NFL. Derek Dooley could

1058
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 2: perhaps take over the play calling duties for Alabama. You

1059
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 2: should remember long time NFL head coatc Ken Wisenhunt. He's

1060
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 2: on Bama staff. Boston College had an offensive coordinator back

1061
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 2: of the day named John McNulty. All of them are

1062
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:13,360
Speaker 2: on Nick Saban's staff. They're all offensive analysts, they all

1063
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 2: have experience Colley plays. I think people may be reacting

1064
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 2: a bit to the nail bier against USF. Bama dropped

1065
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 2: from number ten to number thirteen. They win seventeen to

1066
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 2: three on the road. They did not look good doing it.

1067
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:30,600
Speaker 2: The game wasn't decided to the fourth quarter. Bama was

1068
00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:33,200
Speaker 2: a thirty one point favorite. So now Bama for the

1069
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 2: first time since twenty fifteen, they're ranked outside the top

1070
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 2: ten one hundred and twenty eight straight weeks. They faced

1071
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:44,960
Speaker 2: a pretty good test Saturday against Ole miss and Lane Kiffin,

1072
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 2: but they'll get him at home against Tuscaloosa. If Bama

1073
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 2: were to lose, I don't think they are. I think

1074
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 2: they're going to handle Mississippi, but it would be the

1075
00:58:57,480 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 2: first time that BAMA had lost two games in a

1076
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:02,560
Speaker 2: row since two thousand and seven. And who's the coach then?

1077
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 2: A guy named Nick Saban. It was his first first year.

1078
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:08,240
Speaker 2: It will be a test. In the past two weeks

1079
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:12,480
Speaker 2: have been disappointing for Alabama, But I got a funny feeling.

1080
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 2: It's not so much that you flip a switch. I

1081
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:17,240
Speaker 2: think there's a different level of communication, a different level

1082
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:20,800
Speaker 2: of awareness, and a different level of accountability as you

1083
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:24,360
Speaker 2: head into conference play in the SEC, BAMA wants to

1084
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:30,440
Speaker 2: solidify itself as an SEC contender if Bama. If Bama

1085
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 2: were to get beat at home by Lane Kiffin and

1086
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 2: Mississippi Saturday, there'll be a whole new narrative. I just

1087
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:41,520
Speaker 2: don't see that happening, Okay. One of the things to

1088
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 2: watch will be Bama's ability to run the ball and

1089
00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 2: take the pressure off their quarterback. When Milroe does pass,

1090
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:50,840
Speaker 2: Bama's got to protect him, all right. Milroe is a

1091
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:53,680
Speaker 2: runner first, in a passer second. He's not great on

1092
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:58,480
Speaker 2: intermediate throws, pretty good on deep balls, all right. Bama

1093
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:01,760
Speaker 2: does get their starting guard back in the lineup, Tyler Booker.

1094
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 2: He missed the Florida game with the South Florida game

1095
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 2: with back spasms, and you know, you gotta be honest,

1096
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:11,280
Speaker 2: Bama's Bama's not been stellar on defense either this year.

1097
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:14,919
Speaker 2: Remember Texas rolled up Foard and fifty four yards quinn

1098
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 2: Ewers passed for three fifty three touchdowns and Bama didn't

1099
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:24,720
Speaker 2: force any turnovers against Texas. So again, it's going to

1100
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 2: be a challenge because Ole Miss is ranked fourth nationally

1101
01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:30,320
Speaker 2: in scoring offense. It's early, and I know you got

1102
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:32,280
Speaker 2: to look at their opponents, but they're averaging fifty two

1103
01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 2: points a game. But They're also ranked eighth nationally in

1104
01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 2: yards per play. Bottom line is this feels like you're

1105
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:42,520
Speaker 2: getting Alabama at a good price. It feels like a

1106
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:45,760
Speaker 2: typical Nick Saban bounced back game where you write the

1107
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:50,240
Speaker 2: ship Bama has something to prove, there's no question. But

1108
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 2: they're not the only team Saturday in college football that's

1109
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:58,720
Speaker 2: got something to prove. Coming up, I'm gonna go over, well,

1110
01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 2: we'll take a look at some of the NAT matchups,

1111
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:03,520
Speaker 2: but I'm also going to go over the specific teams

1112
01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:09,120
Speaker 2: that I believe have something to prove as well. But first,

1113
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:12,760
Speaker 2: let's go back to our guy, Kevin Figures with the latest.

1114
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 6: All right Bernie Friday Night Major League Baseball as Shaan

1115
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:18,040
Speaker 6: Manaya seven shutout innings for the Giants, they defeated the

1116
01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 6: Dodgers in Los Angeles by the score of five to one.

1117
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:23,360
Speaker 6: San Francisco now three games out of the final wildcard

1118
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 6: spot in the National League. Padres four games back, they

1119
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:28,200
Speaker 6: beat Saint Louis four to two, a couple of home

1120
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:31,160
Speaker 6: runs there for Manny Machado. Phillies walked off the Mets

1121
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:33,640
Speaker 6: five to four in extras. The fortieth home run of

1122
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 6: the season for Ronald Acunye a forty forty season an

1123
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:38,560
Speaker 6: actual forty sixty season for him, the first to ever

1124
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 6: do it. As the Braves beat the Nationals, Milwaukee clinched

1125
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 6: the playoff birth with a sixteen to one drubbing of

1126
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:46,680
Speaker 6: the Marlins Texas in first place in the American League West,

1127
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:50,000
Speaker 6: they defeated Seattle bah Houston lost to Kansas City, and

1128
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:52,560
Speaker 6: news out of the NFL Chargers running back Austin Eckler

1129
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:55,080
Speaker 6: will not play against the Vikings as he continues to

1130
01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:58,600
Speaker 6: nurse that injured ankle. Baltimore will be without seven starters

1131
01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:02,040
Speaker 6: against the Colts, including receiver Othell Beckham, junior offensive tackle

1132
01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:05,280
Speaker 6: Ronnie Stanley, and defensive back Marlin Humphrey. And Friday Night

1133
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:07,440
Speaker 6: in college football, air Force and proved a four and

1134
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:10,000
Speaker 6: zero on the season, rushed for over four hundred yards

1135
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:12,720
Speaker 6: in a forty five to twenty drubbing of San Jose

1136
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:14,640
Speaker 6: States back to Bernie Friddo.

1137
01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 2: All right, good stuff, Kevin. I'm glad you added up

1138
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 2: the number of injured Ravens because they started to look,

1139
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 2: you know, do Odell Beckham, and you know, you start

1140
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:27,120
Speaker 2: to add up the names and it's like ooh, and

1141
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 2: the number is seven. Thanks for clarifying, all right, good stuff. So,

1142
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 2: as I mentioned, as we head into Saturday, and we

1143
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:36,959
Speaker 2: are now eight and a half hours away from Week

1144
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:41,680
Speaker 2: four college football kicking off and Rutgers visits Michigan, they're

1145
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 2: actually both undefeated, they're both unbeaten, and Greg Ciano's done

1146
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:48,440
Speaker 2: a great job with Rutgers. They run the ball well,

1147
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:52,480
Speaker 2: they stopped the run. Jim Harbaugh's back. Michigan is very deliberate,

1148
01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:55,480
Speaker 2: though I don't think this team is as dynamic as

1149
01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:58,440
Speaker 2: they were the last couple of years, certainly not offensively.

1150
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:03,600
Speaker 2: They had a cupcake three game schedule, and I look,

1151
01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:05,800
Speaker 2: Michigan's land twenty four and a half points. I don't

1152
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:08,160
Speaker 2: know if they even get to thirty. I grab Rutgers

1153
01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:09,919
Speaker 2: plus to twenty four and a half. We shall see

1154
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:13,680
Speaker 2: what happens. Rutgers is better than you think. They're physical

1155
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:17,320
Speaker 2: if they don't turn the ball over. By the way,

1156
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:19,480
Speaker 2: J J. McCarthy may be completing eighty two percent of

1157
01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:21,760
Speaker 2: his passes, but he threw three picks against Bowling Green,

1158
01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:24,840
Speaker 2: so we'll see how sharp Michigan is. Saturday, of course,

1159
01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:29,600
Speaker 2: other unbeaten to UCLA at Utah, Oregon State at Washington State,

1160
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:34,880
Speaker 2: Penn State hosts, Iowa at BYU, Kansas, Memphis, Missouri. But

1161
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:38,040
Speaker 2: there are a handful of teams that are on the

1162
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 2: short list. I believe to be in the final four

1163
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:43,800
Speaker 2: this year. Thank god, they're going to the twelve team

1164
01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:47,439
Speaker 2: playoff in twenty twenty four. Enough of this four team

1165
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:50,760
Speaker 2: made for TV, you know, hand picked selection tournament. If

1166
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:53,560
Speaker 2: you don't go undefeated when your conference convincingly, you're up

1167
01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:57,080
Speaker 2: to the mercy of the voters. So Florida State is

1168
01:03:57,120 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 2: a team that looked very good against LSU. You I

1169
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:04,160
Speaker 2: agree with the earlier caller. They were prought, They're human,

1170
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:05,880
Speaker 2: they were looking I had to go into Death Valley

1171
01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:10,320
Speaker 2: back to back road games. Even Mike Norvel, the head

1172
01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:13,640
Speaker 2: coach of Florida State, he acknowledged his team did not

1173
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:18,120
Speaker 2: have that edge last week against Boston College. Top credit

1174
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:22,320
Speaker 2: to Boston College because they always play hard. But you know,

1175
01:04:22,560 --> 01:04:24,920
Speaker 2: Florida built a twenty one point lead. They seemed to

1176
01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:27,520
Speaker 2: lose their focus. They just were not in sync the

1177
01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:30,640
Speaker 2: way they looked against LSU in Southern miss all Right,

1178
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:35,480
Speaker 2: Norville knows that cannot happen Saturday in Death Valley, where

1179
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:39,480
Speaker 2: Clemson's like sixty four and two under daboswineye in Death Valley,

1180
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:44,400
Speaker 2: and I like Florida State in this game. But again,

1181
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:48,000
Speaker 2: they've got something to prove because of what happened last weekend,

1182
01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:50,440
Speaker 2: because they really haven't been in the national scene for years,

1183
01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:54,680
Speaker 2: and they're facing a Clemson team clearly is down. You

1184
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:56,960
Speaker 2: saw Duke push them around the field. I know that

1185
01:04:56,960 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 2: game had some oddities with turnovers and punt returns and such,

1186
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:03,960
Speaker 2: but Clemson's not not ranked, and they're still the defending

1187
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:06,480
Speaker 2: ACC champions, and they haven't lost to Florida State at

1188
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:11,560
Speaker 2: home in eleven years. So Norvelle not a dot in

1189
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:15,919
Speaker 2: my mind. He's addressed in his shortcomings that his team

1190
01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:19,440
Speaker 2: showed against Boston College, starting with what happened once the

1191
01:05:19,480 --> 01:05:21,960
Speaker 2: seminals came back. He took a thirty one to ten

1192
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:25,880
Speaker 2: lead with halfway through the third quarter, Florida State allowed

1193
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:28,160
Speaker 2: Boston to really I mean final score was thirty one

1194
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:32,200
Speaker 2: to twenty nine, and Norvell told his team basically, there

1195
01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:34,280
Speaker 2: was a quarter and a half and what happened to

1196
01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:37,080
Speaker 2: your killer instinct and that you can't let that happen again.

1197
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:40,840
Speaker 2: So they bust there. There were there were busted defensive assignments,

1198
01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:45,320
Speaker 2: things they'd worked on in practice. And you also have

1199
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:48,120
Speaker 2: to give a lot of credit to Boston College and

1200
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:50,919
Speaker 2: their quarterback Thomas Castellanos. He threw for three zho five

1201
01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:55,160
Speaker 2: ran for a hundred yards. He's far more agile though

1202
01:05:55,160 --> 01:06:01,120
Speaker 2: than Kid Clubnick. Kid Clubnick came to Clemson with great accolades.

1203
01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:04,440
Speaker 2: But I, with all due respect, I haven't seen it.

1204
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:10,360
Speaker 2: I just simply haven't seen it. Alabama, as I said,

1205
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:14,520
Speaker 2: I think they have something to prove as well. Ole

1206
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:16,919
Speaker 2: miss comes to town averaging fifty two points a game.

1207
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:20,800
Speaker 2: They got a brand new defensive coordinator. His name is

1208
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:25,200
Speaker 2: Pete Golding. This is important to note Pete Golding should

1209
01:06:25,480 --> 01:06:28,840
Speaker 2: know the Alabama program. Why he was a member of

1210
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:33,000
Speaker 2: Nick saban staff for five years before heading to Mississippi.

1211
01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:37,919
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Pete Golding was also Alabama's defensive coordinator under

1212
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:41,440
Speaker 2: Nick Saban the last five years. Obama hasn't lost two

1213
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:45,040
Speaker 2: games in a row since twenty oh seven. Will see

1214
01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:49,320
Speaker 2: if the knowledge that Pete Golden lane Kiffin's defensive coordinator,

1215
01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:52,520
Speaker 2: what kind of effect that would have on Jalen Milroll.

1216
01:06:52,920 --> 01:06:55,959
Speaker 2: This Alabama offense is nothing like offenses of the past.

1217
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:58,680
Speaker 2: I mean, come on there, You've gone from Bryce Young

1218
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:03,160
Speaker 2: to know You've got to who Jalen Hurts? Bryce Young

1219
01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:09,200
Speaker 2: now three starting quarterbacks in the NFL. Jalen Milroe is

1220
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:12,920
Speaker 2: a competitor, He's dynamic. He's not an NFL quarterback. You

1221
01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 2: don't have anymore Jalen Waddles or you know Mechi's or rugs.

1222
01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:19,800
Speaker 2: You get the picture. You know, at one point Alabama

1223
01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:24,840
Speaker 2: had four NFL receivers on the same roster. Bama just

1224
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:28,280
Speaker 2: does not have that kind of talent on this particular team. However,

1225
01:07:28,760 --> 01:07:33,160
Speaker 2: there is one thing about Nick Saban's teams, regardless of

1226
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:35,720
Speaker 2: whether they have elite talent or they have the kind

1227
01:07:35,720 --> 01:07:38,080
Speaker 2: of talent they have this year, they always get better

1228
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:43,040
Speaker 2: game to game as the season progresses. All right, So

1229
01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:46,240
Speaker 2: the time is now for the Tide to prove to

1230
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:49,840
Speaker 2: people that they can be, you know, an Alabama team

1231
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:53,400
Speaker 2: befitting of the Alabama culture and reputation in the last decade.

1232
01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:57,080
Speaker 2: It starts Saturday, but make no mistake, both Florida State

1233
01:07:57,440 --> 01:08:00,800
Speaker 2: and Alabama have something to prove. See gets crowded here.

1234
01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:02,880
Speaker 2: There's only four teams that can be in the playoffs.

1235
01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:06,520
Speaker 2: Here are two more teams that want to be there,

1236
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:10,000
Speaker 2: but they also both have something to prove. Ohio State

1237
01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:12,880
Speaker 2: and Notre Dame. They met in the twenty twenty two

1238
01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:16,280
Speaker 2: season opener. You remember last year Memorial to check that

1239
01:08:16,360 --> 01:08:18,880
Speaker 2: Labor Day weekend on a Sunday night game. It was

1240
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:24,000
Speaker 2: the first regular season game for Marcus Freeman, the head

1241
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:26,960
Speaker 2: coach at Notre Dame, who, as you may or may

1242
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:30,679
Speaker 2: not know, played linebacker for the Ohio State Buckeyes back

1243
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:34,080
Speaker 2: in the day. Now he's the fighting Irish coach. I

1244
01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:37,880
Speaker 2: would say both those teams last year had fair amount

1245
01:08:37,880 --> 01:08:40,559
Speaker 2: of rust first game of the season. There should be

1246
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:44,479
Speaker 2: no rust head into Saturday in South Bend. Neither team

1247
01:08:44,479 --> 01:08:47,639
Speaker 2: has really faced an opponent that's nearly as talented as

1248
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:50,439
Speaker 2: the one they'll face Saturday, and that's why this is

1249
01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:56,280
Speaker 2: a proving ground for both teams right. Ryan Day admits

1250
01:08:56,360 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 2: that a lot of times in college he'll play a

1251
01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:04,720
Speaker 2: game where the Allen gap is big or negligible, and

1252
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:07,519
Speaker 2: this is one of those games Saturday where the talent

1253
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:11,000
Speaker 2: gap is more of a matchup. It's more negligible. Although

1254
01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:14,839
Speaker 2: I do believe Ohio State has far better offensive weapons,

1255
01:09:14,880 --> 01:09:18,439
Speaker 2: but Notre Dame also has Sam Hartman a six year

1256
01:09:18,479 --> 01:09:22,720
Speaker 2: college player, a terrific quarterback that you know, had a

1257
01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:25,040
Speaker 2: hell of a career at Wake Forest and now he's

1258
01:09:25,080 --> 01:09:27,280
Speaker 2: doing it at Notre Dame. He's on the short list

1259
01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:31,679
Speaker 2: for Heisman potential candidates. And you know, should Notre Dame

1260
01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:34,160
Speaker 2: get the win tomorrow, they're now a three point underdog

1261
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:36,720
Speaker 2: at home. Yes, I know you've heard the stats. What

1262
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:40,400
Speaker 2: Notre Dame hasn't beaten Ohio State what since nineteen thirty six.

1263
01:09:41,200 --> 01:09:43,759
Speaker 2: But Ryan Dave feels his team is progressing. They're excited

1264
01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:45,960
Speaker 2: to get on the field. Ohio State's got some to

1265
01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:48,240
Speaker 2: prove as well. Remember they've lost back to back to Michigan,

1266
01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:50,800
Speaker 2: and people just won't let them know about that, right.

1267
01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:55,800
Speaker 2: I think Ohio State and their offensive backfield again, you've

1268
01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:58,519
Speaker 2: you've been spoiled the last few years with that quarterback,

1269
01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:01,120
Speaker 2: with c J. Stroud and Justin f and veteran guys

1270
01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:06,040
Speaker 2: on the college level. Kyle McCord responded pretty well last

1271
01:10:06,080 --> 01:10:09,920
Speaker 2: week after being named the starter and he for Ohio

1272
01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:12,720
Speaker 2: State and officially handed the keys of the car. And

1273
01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:15,960
Speaker 2: if Travion Henderson can just stay healthy. He was not

1274
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:19,360
Speaker 2: healthy against Michigan, of course. Blake korm wasn't either, to

1275
01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:22,920
Speaker 2: be fair, but if you could look at the film

1276
01:10:23,040 --> 01:10:28,600
Speaker 2: of Travion Henderson in twenty twenty one, it's tremendous, tremendous,

1277
01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:31,000
Speaker 2: and he started to regain that form. So if he

1278
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:35,479
Speaker 2: could stay healthy, right, that's going to be a huge

1279
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:39,360
Speaker 2: boon for Ohio State Saturday. The one question that you

1280
01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:44,200
Speaker 2: don't know is not only Kyle McCord, you know, not

1281
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:46,439
Speaker 2: a first year starter for Ohio State, but he heads

1282
01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:51,160
Speaker 2: into a very difficult road setting first first road start.

1283
01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:56,800
Speaker 2: So Notre Dame had a tricky, you know, road trip

1284
01:10:56,880 --> 01:11:01,400
Speaker 2: to North Carolina State, and they came away victorious, but

1285
01:11:01,439 --> 01:11:05,799
Speaker 2: it wasn't easy. Sam Hartman has been everything as advertise,

1286
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:09,200
Speaker 2: thirteen touchdowns, zero interceptions. He's got a good looking wide

1287
01:11:09,240 --> 01:11:13,240
Speaker 2: receiver group, a couple guys, and so I guess the

1288
01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:16,840
Speaker 2: key to that game. Ohio State's a big playoffense, and

1289
01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:21,920
Speaker 2: if Notre Dame wants to hang around and win the game,

1290
01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:24,000
Speaker 2: of course they've got a limit big plays. They want

1291
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:27,360
Speaker 2: to have success offensively as well. I don't think they're

1292
01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:29,000
Speaker 2: gonna take a lot of deep chances. They're going to

1293
01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:31,200
Speaker 2: be I think you're gonna see Notre Dame want to

1294
01:11:31,200 --> 01:11:33,160
Speaker 2: play ball, control field position, try to win the time

1295
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:37,200
Speaker 2: of possession. That's the way Notre Dame wins this game. Again,

1296
01:11:37,760 --> 01:11:40,599
Speaker 2: both teams have something to prove. You're just not sure

1297
01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:43,360
Speaker 2: what you have yet on either team. Same with Florida State,

1298
01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:46,479
Speaker 2: same with Alabama, Ohio State, Notre Dame, a couple more

1299
01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:50,080
Speaker 2: teams in the same boat. Utah, they've got something to prove.

1300
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:53,200
Speaker 2: They won the Pac twelve the last two seasons, and

1301
01:11:53,240 --> 01:11:56,639
Speaker 2: they had hoped that Cam Rise and their quarterback would

1302
01:11:56,640 --> 01:11:59,320
Speaker 2: be back by now. They have the profile of a

1303
01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:02,960
Speaker 2: top ten team in the preseason. However, without Rising in

1304
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:05,599
Speaker 2: the first three games of the season, the UTSA offense

1305
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:09,120
Speaker 2: hasn't exactly inspired a lot of confidence. Right. They do

1306
01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:12,200
Speaker 2: get the benefit of the doubt because they are winning,

1307
01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:14,519
Speaker 2: and they were good enough to grind out a win

1308
01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:17,760
Speaker 2: against Florida, a team that hammerd Tennessee last week. But

1309
01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:21,080
Speaker 2: the longer Cam Rising is out, the odds of Utah's

1310
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:24,320
Speaker 2: three pet in the Pac twelve becomes in question. Right,

1311
01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:29,200
Speaker 2: so they got a real challenge against UCLA Saturday, Utah

1312
01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:33,559
Speaker 2: at home, but Cam rising status for UCLA is in question.

1313
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:35,639
Speaker 2: I'm not sure he's gonna play. I don't think he's

1314
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:37,840
Speaker 2: gonna play. But if they get him back and he

1315
01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:41,120
Speaker 2: plays at his high level, you know, Utah will still

1316
01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:43,800
Speaker 2: have something to prove, but they'll have they'll have their

1317
01:12:44,040 --> 01:12:47,160
Speaker 2: you know, they'll have their star back. Finally, Oklahoma State,

1318
01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:50,360
Speaker 2: they along stage starters when eighteen players went into the

1319
01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:53,080
Speaker 2: transfer portal last season. But Mike Gunding, by the way,

1320
01:12:53,080 --> 01:12:56,479
Speaker 2: the sixteen year anniversary today, you know, yell at me,

1321
01:12:56,560 --> 01:12:58,640
Speaker 2: I'm a man, I'm forty. Who can ever forget that

1322
01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:02,479
Speaker 2: he's fifty six now, sixteen years ago today Gundy talked

1323
01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:05,760
Speaker 2: about Dion Sanders Jolt of Colorado and how he's gonna

1324
01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:09,080
Speaker 2: have to change his philosophy moving forward. He basically said,

1325
01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:11,360
Speaker 2: we're gonna have to find ways to supplemented because history

1326
01:13:11,400 --> 01:13:13,840
Speaker 2: is telling us over the last couple of years there's

1327
01:13:13,880 --> 01:13:16,800
Speaker 2: a percentage to your team that's gonna go somewhere else.

1328
01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:19,160
Speaker 2: And if you do, you gotta find guys that come

1329
01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:21,320
Speaker 2: in here that are at the same maturity level, the

1330
01:13:21,360 --> 01:13:24,040
Speaker 2: same age group, get them into the system. Plenty of

1331
01:13:24,040 --> 01:13:28,080
Speaker 2: work to do this season. Oklahoma State has been solid,

1332
01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:31,200
Speaker 2: a solid program, not great, but they lost to South

1333
01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:36,000
Speaker 2: Alabama last week and make no mistake. South Alabama is

1334
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:41,760
Speaker 2: a good team, all right, and they were hammered by

1335
01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:46,240
Speaker 2: Tulane though, which really surprised me. But if you're Oklahoma State,

1336
01:13:46,680 --> 01:13:49,639
Speaker 2: losing to South Alabama is a bit of a red flag,

1337
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:53,639
Speaker 2: all right. So starting Saturday, they head to Ames Iowa.

1338
01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:57,479
Speaker 2: Iowa State. Oklahoma State is gonna have something to prove.

1339
01:13:57,520 --> 01:14:00,960
Speaker 2: And that's not to say that Georgia doesn't, and Michigan

1340
01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:04,400
Speaker 2: doesn't and the other usual suspects. But the teams I

1341
01:14:04,520 --> 01:14:08,200
Speaker 2: just mentioned their seasons could take a definite left turn

1342
01:14:08,880 --> 01:14:12,800
Speaker 2: on Saturday if in fact they were to fall to

1343
01:14:13,080 --> 01:14:16,800
Speaker 2: any of those teams. You don't talk a lot about

1344
01:14:16,880 --> 01:14:21,280
Speaker 2: defense in college football, but actually there are a couple

1345
01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:24,320
Speaker 2: teams in the ACC, a team in the Big twelve,

1346
01:14:24,439 --> 01:14:26,479
Speaker 2: and a team in the Big Ten. I want to

1347
01:14:26,520 --> 01:14:30,200
Speaker 2: talk a little bit about their defense because I don't

1348
01:14:30,240 --> 01:14:33,120
Speaker 2: know if defense wins championships in college football, but you

1349
01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:36,360
Speaker 2: gotta have it. And we're starting to learn about these

1350
01:14:36,439 --> 01:14:41,799
Speaker 2: new teams as the twenty twenty three season finally starts

1351
01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:44,680
Speaker 2: to mature and we're past week zero and all that

Speaker 2: We continue on with the college football observations from week four.

1364
01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:29,080
Speaker 2: You know there's one undefeated ACC team that virtually no

1365
01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:32,960
Speaker 2: one is talking about except our good buddy. Well, that

1366
01:15:32,960 --> 01:15:36,840
Speaker 2: would be Jason Smith and that would be Syracuse. In

1367
01:15:36,920 --> 01:15:41,360
Speaker 2: three games, Syracuse, they've played exceptionally well. They ranked fourth

1368
01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:44,479
Speaker 2: in the nation and scoring defense nine points a game.

1369
01:15:44,520 --> 01:15:48,479
Speaker 2: They're one of six FBS schools giving up fewer than

1370
01:15:48,479 --> 01:15:51,519
Speaker 2: ten points a game this season. Twenty seven points allowed

1371
01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:54,439
Speaker 2: in the first three games. That's the lowest total allowed

1372
01:15:55,040 --> 01:15:57,760
Speaker 2: by Syracuse in forty years. They were tested a we

1373
01:15:57,800 --> 01:16:01,720
Speaker 2: can go against Purdue, but they'll face their biggest challenge

1374
01:16:02,160 --> 01:16:06,479
Speaker 2: against Army on Saturday. Army coming off pretty impressive win

1375
01:16:06,560 --> 01:16:10,400
Speaker 2: over Texas San Antonio. Again, you don't talk much about

1376
01:16:10,520 --> 01:16:14,960
Speaker 2: defense in college football, but if Syracuse has designs and

1377
01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:17,640
Speaker 2: making real noise in the ACC, see what they can

1378
01:16:17,720 --> 01:16:22,439
Speaker 2: do against Army. And oh, by the way, after Army,

1379
01:16:23,360 --> 01:16:27,519
Speaker 2: they get Clemson. Syracuse gas Clemson, even though we agree

1380
01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:31,040
Speaker 2: that Clemson's offense has been far less than that we've

1381
01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:34,000
Speaker 2: seen in the past. Let's go to the Big twelve. Now,

1382
01:16:34,120 --> 01:16:39,280
Speaker 2: what's interesting is Baylor in Texas face off Saturday. They've

1383
01:16:39,439 --> 01:16:43,080
Speaker 2: split their last four head to head matchups, but Baylor

1384
01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:46,160
Speaker 2: has won both games in Waco, but they lost both

1385
01:16:46,200 --> 01:16:52,080
Speaker 2: games in Austin, so recent history shows that this might

1386
01:16:52,120 --> 01:16:54,559
Speaker 2: not just be a pushover for Texas. I keep waiting

1387
01:16:54,600 --> 01:16:58,160
Speaker 2: for Steve Sarkis and to screw this up. I'll give

1388
01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:00,920
Speaker 2: him his flowers. He beat Alabama, but he's never won

1389
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:03,240
Speaker 2: more than nine games. Okay, I'm not wishing on I'm

1390
01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:06,639
Speaker 2: just calling him as I see him. Right, Baylor got

1391
01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:08,679
Speaker 2: off to a rush start. They lost to Texas State.

1392
01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:11,200
Speaker 2: By the way, they have a very good offense in

1393
01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:15,360
Speaker 2: Texas State lost late against Utah, but Baylor held him

1394
01:17:15,360 --> 01:17:17,920
Speaker 2: in check all game. Texas has only allowed forty four

1395
01:17:17,920 --> 01:17:23,360
Speaker 2: points as well. What can or check that Baylor's only

1396
01:17:23,360 --> 01:17:27,360
Speaker 2: allowed forty four points? Look, what can they do against

1397
01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:30,880
Speaker 2: quinn Ewers? Quinn Youwers struggled last week against Wyoming and

1398
01:17:30,920 --> 01:17:34,080
Speaker 2: Texas had to lean on the running game. Here's the problem.

1399
01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:37,360
Speaker 2: Baylor currently one oh five and rushing defense allowing one

1400
01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:40,120
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy yards per game. If Baylor wants to

1401
01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:44,400
Speaker 2: keep that trend going, their defense is gonna have to

1402
01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:48,920
Speaker 2: show up. Colorado's offense has been prolific the last three

1403
01:17:48,960 --> 01:17:51,599
Speaker 2: games with their new coordinator Sean Lewis calling the shots.

1404
01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:57,800
Speaker 2: Now there their defensive coordinator, Howard Kelly. He's come from Alabama,

1405
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:02,320
Speaker 2: right the but the buff Steve hasn't seen anywhere nearly

1406
01:18:02,360 --> 01:18:06,040
Speaker 2: as talented or sophisticated offense in what they're going to

1407
01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:10,280
Speaker 2: see against Oregon Saturday, Right the Ducks run the ball well,

1408
01:18:10,840 --> 01:18:14,320
Speaker 2: They've got so much speed on the back end, and

1409
01:18:14,479 --> 01:18:17,680
Speaker 2: defensively they'll keep up. Oregon will keep up with Colorado's

1410
01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:20,360
Speaker 2: receivers and make it very difficult up front for a

1411
01:18:20,439 --> 01:18:24,040
Speaker 2: Colorado offensive line that's allowed the second most sacks in

1412
01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:26,240
Speaker 2: the country sixteen. They don't create a lot of space

1413
01:18:26,240 --> 01:18:28,960
Speaker 2: for the running game. Colorado's got a lot of speed.

1414
01:18:29,040 --> 01:18:32,960
Speaker 2: Interestingly enough, both teams got prolific offenses. It will be

1415
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:35,720
Speaker 2: the defense that can stop the other offense that will

1416
01:18:35,720 --> 01:18:37,240
Speaker 2: win the game. I think you know where that one

1417
01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:42,520
Speaker 2: is headed coming up. At one time, a defensive specialist,

1418
01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:45,920
Speaker 2: Mel Tucker will no longer be in Michigan State. Who's

1419
01:18:45,920 --> 01:18:49,439
Speaker 2: going to replace him? We'll speculate. My name is Bernie Fraddle,

1420
01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:53,120
Speaker 2: Keep it locked, Bernie fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio. Well,

1421
01:18:53,120 --> 01:18:55,320
Speaker 2: that's right, you heard demand that Bernie Fraddles Show. Keeps

1422
01:18:55,400 --> 01:18:58,200
Speaker 2: rolling right along. My name is Bernie Fratdle. We're coming

1423
01:18:58,200 --> 01:19:02,599
Speaker 2: to you live from the iraq dot com studios, Las Vegas, Nevada,

1424
01:19:02,640 --> 01:19:05,800
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, tirack dot com. We'll help you get there.

1425
01:19:06,200 --> 01:19:09,240
Speaker 2: An I had match selection, fast free shipping, free road

1426
01:19:09,280 --> 01:19:13,360
Speaker 2: hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommend it installers tiraq

1427
01:19:13,479 --> 01:19:18,680
Speaker 2: dot com. The way tire buying should be. You know,

1428
01:19:18,680 --> 01:19:22,320
Speaker 2: it wasn't that long ago Michigan State was battling for

1429
01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:25,720
Speaker 2: Big ten titles, but this is going to be apparently

1430
01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:29,000
Speaker 2: a throwaway year. Although all is not lost the Michigan State.

1431
01:19:29,320 --> 01:19:32,599
Speaker 2: You know they faced Maryland Saturday and of course their

1432
01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:36,080
Speaker 2: rival game against Michigan a few weeks away. You're still

1433
01:19:36,080 --> 01:19:39,880
Speaker 2: going to show up and compete. There's pride, but Meltucker,

1434
01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:42,920
Speaker 2: their coach, will no longer be there. I am not

1435
01:19:42,960 --> 01:19:45,400
Speaker 2: going to go into what I know. We'll let that

1436
01:19:45,479 --> 01:19:48,160
Speaker 2: play out in the news. I think what you will.

1437
01:19:49,320 --> 01:19:52,680
Speaker 2: But this leaves a void. Melt Tucker came over with

1438
01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:57,479
Speaker 2: great accolades three years ago. I believe me LSU wanted

1439
01:19:57,520 --> 01:20:03,320
Speaker 2: him to. And you know what mill was paid was

1440
01:20:03,120 --> 01:20:05,439
Speaker 2: It was not out of the general fund. It was

1441
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:09,800
Speaker 2: from boosters, and I believe if they hadn't paid him,

1442
01:20:09,800 --> 01:20:12,640
Speaker 2: he would have gone to LSU. Remember, he beat Michigan

1443
01:20:13,360 --> 01:20:16,080
Speaker 2: twice his first two tries. And you have no idea

1444
01:20:16,160 --> 01:20:18,439
Speaker 2: unless you've lived there or worked in that market, for

1445
01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:20,840
Speaker 2: Michigan State to not only beat Michigan back to back

1446
01:20:20,920 --> 01:20:26,880
Speaker 2: years and do it in your first two games against

1447
01:20:26,960 --> 01:20:29,880
Speaker 2: Michigan as a head coach. You're walking on water. They're

1448
01:20:29,920 --> 01:20:33,880
Speaker 2: not letting you out of town. But obviously things have changed,

1449
01:20:33,920 --> 01:20:37,760
Speaker 2: and we'll let that play out. But and even though

1450
01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:41,439
Speaker 2: the program is reeling now, and you know so there's

1451
01:20:41,520 --> 01:20:44,960
Speaker 2: actually going to be two. There are two vacancies in

1452
01:20:45,040 --> 01:20:51,439
Speaker 2: the Big ten Northwestern You've forgotten about that. But Michigan State,

1453
01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:54,599
Speaker 2: I do believe is going to be considered a very

1454
01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:57,800
Speaker 2: appealing job. I don't put it at the level of

1455
01:20:57,840 --> 01:21:03,080
Speaker 2: Michigan or Penn State at Ohio State, but I believe that.

1456
01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:06,400
Speaker 2: You know, you can. You saw that Mark D'Antonio did there,

1457
01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:10,519
Speaker 2: carved out a very nice niche over his what thirteen

1458
01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:13,720
Speaker 2: years at Michigan State. So the long and short of

1459
01:21:13,720 --> 01:21:17,439
Speaker 2: it is, they're going to get a lot of interest,

1460
01:21:18,160 --> 01:21:21,360
Speaker 2: and there are I think some very high profile coaches

1461
01:21:22,320 --> 01:21:25,479
Speaker 2: will be getting consideration, and you're already starting to see

1462
01:21:25,560 --> 01:21:29,200
Speaker 2: names emerged. Now let's keep in mind these guys are

1463
01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:32,439
Speaker 2: already working at programs, So I'm not trying to cast

1464
01:21:32,439 --> 01:21:35,439
Speaker 2: as persians, but this is the type of ilk, the

1465
01:21:35,479 --> 01:21:38,439
Speaker 2: type of coach that I think Michigan State will be

1466
01:21:38,439 --> 01:21:43,800
Speaker 2: able to attract, starting with Mike Elko not starting. These

1467
01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:46,719
Speaker 2: are in no particular order. Okay, as a matter of fact,

1468
01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:51,760
Speaker 2: if I were to really handicap this, I think there's

1469
01:21:51,800 --> 01:21:54,400
Speaker 2: a very good chance you see Pat and Ardoozi, who's

1470
01:21:54,439 --> 01:21:57,840
Speaker 2: currently coaching at Pitt he's kind of a wild card option,

1471
01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:02,640
Speaker 2: but he was the beloved defensive coordinator under Mark D'Antonio.

1472
01:22:03,160 --> 01:22:06,360
Speaker 2: He was a tremendous defensive coordinator. He brought that edge

1473
01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:09,519
Speaker 2: to MSU, remember the no fly zone all those years.

1474
01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:13,320
Speaker 2: That was Paton Ardoozy and he's been pretty solid in

1475
01:22:13,400 --> 01:22:16,320
Speaker 2: a decaded Pitt running a program that's had, you know,

1476
01:22:16,920 --> 01:22:20,600
Speaker 2: top twenty five seasons. They're twenty and seven in the

1477
01:22:20,680 --> 01:22:24,000
Speaker 2: last two years. Pitt's never really made that much noise,

1478
01:22:24,080 --> 01:22:26,320
Speaker 2: but pat and Ardoozy has done a good job there

1479
01:22:26,320 --> 01:22:28,479
Speaker 2: and he's been there almost a decade. Would he want

1480
01:22:28,520 --> 01:22:31,479
Speaker 2: to go back to East Lansing, I don't know. He

1481
01:22:31,560 --> 01:22:33,439
Speaker 2: has a good job in a great city, but he's

1482
01:22:33,439 --> 01:22:35,800
Speaker 2: been there a long time. And I think the Big

1483
01:22:35,840 --> 01:22:39,479
Speaker 2: Ten has a lot more stability and prestige, certainly in

1484
01:22:39,520 --> 01:22:43,080
Speaker 2: football than the ACC. And I know that Paton Ardoozy

1485
01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:46,040
Speaker 2: was very well thought of as Michigan State's defensive coordinator

1486
01:22:46,520 --> 01:22:48,080
Speaker 2: when he was there, and he's I think he'd been

1487
01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:53,080
Speaker 2: gone since twenty fourteen. But there are some other high

1488
01:22:53,080 --> 01:22:55,639
Speaker 2: profile coaches too that I think that well, you'll see

1489
01:22:56,040 --> 01:22:59,600
Speaker 2: make the list. Mike Elko would do. Boy, what a

1490
01:22:59,720 --> 01:23:02,360
Speaker 2: job he has done in just two years, and I

1491
01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:05,840
Speaker 2: also believe he'd be targeted by Northwestern. He's forty five

1492
01:23:05,920 --> 01:23:09,080
Speaker 2: years old. He's a New Jersey guy. He had a

1493
01:23:09,080 --> 01:23:12,720
Speaker 2: fabulous debut season at Duke in twenty twenty two. They

1494
01:23:12,760 --> 01:23:16,799
Speaker 2: went nine to four. Duke currently is ranked eighteenth. Started

1495
01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:20,000
Speaker 2: the season with a bang by beating Clemson on Labor

1496
01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:23,200
Speaker 2: Day evening. They're off to three and oh start. This

1497
01:23:23,240 --> 01:23:28,200
Speaker 2: is Duke now, Okay, Duke football, not Duke basketball. Duke football,

1498
01:23:28,880 --> 01:23:32,799
Speaker 2: and he's Elko's an interesting guy. He played his football

1499
01:23:32,800 --> 01:23:35,240
Speaker 2: in the IVY League. He was a defensive back. He's

1500
01:23:35,240 --> 01:23:38,360
Speaker 2: been around the block. He's coached at Fordham, Richmond, Wake Forest,

1501
01:23:38,439 --> 01:23:44,360
Speaker 2: Notre Dame, Texas A and M and Yes, very similarly.

1502
01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:47,439
Speaker 2: Michigan State has a very rich basketball history like Duke,

1503
01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:50,880
Speaker 2: but they're not necessarily a pure basketball school. Duke's a

1504
01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:54,880
Speaker 2: pure basketball school, but Elko is making him a football school.

1505
01:23:55,080 --> 01:23:57,599
Speaker 2: The SEC doesn't have the money at the Big ten hasts.

1506
01:23:57,880 --> 01:24:00,000
Speaker 2: This one could get interesting. I could see a guy

1507
01:24:00,240 --> 01:24:03,360
Speaker 2: like Mike Elco going to Michigan State. Not predicting it,

1508
01:24:03,880 --> 01:24:07,559
Speaker 2: just spitballing Lance Lipole last year what he did at

1509
01:24:07,640 --> 01:24:10,720
Speaker 2: Kansas was fraktic, you know, but he was practically a

1510
01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:16,000
Speaker 2: miracle worker. Now he's he's closer to the sixty, which

1511
01:24:16,040 --> 01:24:20,720
Speaker 2: shouldn't matter. He won six Division three national titles at

1512
01:24:20,720 --> 01:24:24,360
Speaker 2: Wisconsin Whitewater. Then he went to Buffalo, turned them into

1513
01:24:24,439 --> 01:24:27,720
Speaker 2: a top twenty five team, and then he got the Jayhawks,

1514
01:24:27,760 --> 01:24:30,360
Speaker 2: the Kansas Jayhawks into the top twenty five last year

1515
01:24:30,880 --> 01:24:34,559
Speaker 2: after you know, Kansas had had what a ten year

1516
01:24:35,200 --> 01:24:40,840
Speaker 2: period in football that was just you know, horrible, no

1517
01:24:40,880 --> 01:24:44,280
Speaker 2: other way to put it. It was. I think last

1518
01:24:44,360 --> 01:24:47,240
Speaker 2: year Kansas, what they got off to a six and

1519
01:24:47,240 --> 01:24:49,280
Speaker 2: oh seven o start, came back to earth a little bit.

1520
01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:51,120
Speaker 2: This year they're off to a three and oh start.

1521
01:24:51,160 --> 01:24:54,000
Speaker 2: All right, if you're a Michigan State, this is a

1522
01:24:54,040 --> 01:24:56,760
Speaker 2: call you have to make and talk to this guy.

1523
01:24:57,000 --> 01:25:00,240
Speaker 2: Lipole is an elite football coach. He's proven in it

1524
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:05,360
Speaker 2: everywhere he has been. And look again, Kansas three. You

1525
01:25:05,400 --> 01:25:08,360
Speaker 2: know this year, with the resources he'd have a Michigan

1526
01:25:08,400 --> 01:25:11,479
Speaker 2: State and the history and again being in the Big ten,

1527
01:25:12,600 --> 01:25:15,360
Speaker 2: there's no reason he wouldn't be able to have success there.

1528
01:25:15,400 --> 01:25:19,519
Speaker 2: In my opinion, they're in state rival Kansas State coached

1529
01:25:19,520 --> 01:25:25,360
Speaker 2: by a guy Chris Cleman, he's obviously the Lippholds In

1530
01:25:25,439 --> 01:25:28,519
Speaker 2: State rival. He could be a wise choice if he's

1531
01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:33,600
Speaker 2: interested now. Climbing and the Wildcats were Big Twelve champions

1532
01:25:33,680 --> 01:25:36,520
Speaker 2: last year, and although the Big Ten has better resources

1533
01:25:36,560 --> 01:25:39,960
Speaker 2: in the Big Twelve, I think Climbing working for the

1534
01:25:40,000 --> 01:25:42,439
Speaker 2: same athletic director at Kansas State he had when he

1535
01:25:42,479 --> 01:25:45,760
Speaker 2: was winning national titles at North Dakota State, So there's

1536
01:25:45,760 --> 01:25:51,800
Speaker 2: a comfort level there. But and Kansas State is very

1537
01:25:51,840 --> 01:25:58,000
Speaker 2: much regarded as a solid, respected football school. But when

1538
01:25:58,040 --> 01:26:02,479
Speaker 2: you consider what a talented coach he is and considered

1539
01:26:02,560 --> 01:26:04,880
Speaker 2: one of the top coaches in the conference, the Big

1540
01:26:04,880 --> 01:26:09,760
Speaker 2: Twelve conference, He's gonna draw attention. He's very much gonna

1541
01:26:09,840 --> 01:26:13,599
Speaker 2: draw attention to UH to Michigan State, And I would

1542
01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:18,000
Speaker 2: just say this, it would be considered Kansas State would

1543
01:26:18,040 --> 01:26:20,240
Speaker 2: would beat Michigan State. I get that, But I think

1544
01:26:20,240 --> 01:26:23,880
Speaker 2: it would be a big upgrade for Chris Cleman to

1545
01:26:23,960 --> 01:26:26,799
Speaker 2: get to the Big Ten, especially when when you consider

1546
01:26:26,800 --> 01:26:28,880
Speaker 2: where they're going in the next few years and with

1547
01:26:28,960 --> 01:26:32,719
Speaker 2: that TV contract, it would be considered a step up clearly. Finally,

1548
01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:36,479
Speaker 2: this is odd and I consider it to be very

1549
01:26:36,680 --> 01:26:39,840
Speaker 2: very much of a long shot because I can't recall

1550
01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:44,720
Speaker 2: many instances were a coach in a rival team in

1551
01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:47,600
Speaker 2: the same conference has departed one school to go to

1552
01:26:47,640 --> 01:26:50,599
Speaker 2: another rival team in the same conference. But I'm talking

1553
01:26:50,600 --> 01:26:56,400
Speaker 2: about PJ. Fleck at Minnesota. Word has it that Michigan

1554
01:26:56,439 --> 01:26:59,920
Speaker 2: State has some interest in Fleck, who's obviously done a

1555
01:27:00,320 --> 01:27:06,280
Speaker 2: nice job at Minnesota. The program was reeling when PJ.

1556
01:27:06,400 --> 01:27:10,000
Speaker 2: Fleck left Western Michigan and he remember what were they like,

1557
01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:12,360
Speaker 2: eleven or zero and they played Wisconsin in their bowl game.

1558
01:27:13,840 --> 01:27:17,559
Speaker 2: Flex Look, the numbers don't lie. PJ. Fleck is forty

1559
01:27:17,560 --> 01:27:20,680
Speaker 2: six and twenty eight at Minnesota, and that includes an

1560
01:27:20,720 --> 01:27:23,840
Speaker 2: eleven and two season in a top ten finish back

1561
01:27:23,880 --> 01:27:27,519
Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen. He's done as good a job in

1562
01:27:27,560 --> 01:27:30,680
Speaker 2: the Big Ten when you consider the expectations of a

1563
01:27:30,720 --> 01:27:33,920
Speaker 2: program and where the program has been and where they're

1564
01:27:33,960 --> 01:27:37,439
Speaker 2: trying to get. You know, Minnesota is a trivia question,

1565
01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:41,920
Speaker 2: all right. People have talked about their trivia answer. People

1566
01:27:41,960 --> 01:27:46,400
Speaker 2: have questioned whether or not the Georgia Bulldogs can three

1567
01:27:46,439 --> 01:27:48,679
Speaker 2: peat and win it again this year. I say they can,

1568
01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:52,920
Speaker 2: primarily because it's decided on the field now. But remember

1569
01:27:52,920 --> 01:27:56,880
Speaker 2: for all those years, certainly, you know, not just a

1570
01:27:56,880 --> 01:28:00,160
Speaker 2: little bit more than twenty years ago. It was the

1571
01:28:00,160 --> 01:28:03,559
Speaker 2: whims of the voters, right, Alabama could have easily reaped

1572
01:28:03,600 --> 01:28:05,840
Speaker 2: repeated in sixty six or then by then. You know,

1573
01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:09,439
Speaker 2: back then, by the way, they had co champions. You know,

1574
01:28:09,439 --> 01:28:12,640
Speaker 2: they went like twelve and zero seven shutouts, But the

1575
01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:15,559
Speaker 2: voters picked, uh, Michigan State and Notre Dame. It's coach champs.

1576
01:28:15,760 --> 01:28:18,920
Speaker 2: Voters picked them. Well, voters will get you into the playoff,

1577
01:28:18,920 --> 01:28:21,400
Speaker 2: but you gotta win it on the field. That's why

1578
01:28:21,800 --> 01:28:24,240
Speaker 2: I believe Georgia can win it on the field this year.

1579
01:28:24,320 --> 01:28:27,240
Speaker 2: I'm not predicting it, but they can't. They would be

1580
01:28:27,280 --> 01:28:29,360
Speaker 2: a three peat. Well, guess who the last team to

1581
01:28:29,400 --> 01:28:32,800
Speaker 2: threepeat in college football? The Minnesota Golden Golfers. Yeah, I

1582
01:28:32,840 --> 01:28:34,840
Speaker 2: know it was back in nineteen thirty six, but there

1583
01:28:34,960 --> 01:28:37,479
Speaker 2: was a time, especially even when you got into the

1584
01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:40,200
Speaker 2: fifties and even in the early sixties, Minnesota was a

1585
01:28:40,200 --> 01:28:44,960
Speaker 2: power program. They haven't done much in forever. I mean,

1586
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:47,960
Speaker 2: I know, the Tony Dungee team in nineteen seventy seven

1587
01:28:48,080 --> 01:28:51,280
Speaker 2: shocked both sham Beckler in Michigan and shut them out.

1588
01:28:51,520 --> 01:28:57,599
Speaker 2: But Minnesota's, let's face it, their highlights on the football

1589
01:28:57,600 --> 01:28:59,280
Speaker 2: field and certainly in the Big Ten have been few

1590
01:28:59,280 --> 01:29:03,439
Speaker 2: and far between, right, But it's worth noting Michigan State

1591
01:29:03,760 --> 01:29:07,200
Speaker 2: is a program that has reached the College Football Playoff before.

1592
01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:14,519
Speaker 2: So I think if Michigan State genuinely has interested PJ. Fleck,

1593
01:29:15,400 --> 01:29:16,960
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know if he'd roll the boat

1594
01:29:16,960 --> 01:29:20,280
Speaker 2: to Michigan State, but I think he'd be interested. But

1595
01:29:20,360 --> 01:29:23,280
Speaker 2: you don't know, all right, So these are big time names.

1596
01:29:23,280 --> 01:29:26,240
Speaker 2: I if I me, I would look back to patn

1597
01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:29,479
Speaker 2: ARDUZI I would he had such a great history there.

1598
01:29:29,479 --> 01:29:32,360
Speaker 2: And Mark D'Antonio is helping out the program now with

1599
01:29:32,400 --> 01:29:35,000
Speaker 2: Harlan Barnett, and I think it would be more of

1600
01:29:35,040 --> 01:29:39,439
Speaker 2: a seamless transition. But whether it's PJ. Flick, Chris Cleman,

1601
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:43,639
Speaker 2: Lance Leipold, Mike Elko from Duke, there's no question that

1602
01:29:43,680 --> 01:29:48,000
Speaker 2: the Spartans, you know, are in need of a program

1603
01:29:48,120 --> 01:29:50,559
Speaker 2: changer and a program builder. When you saw how crushed

1604
01:29:50,560 --> 01:29:55,320
Speaker 2: they were by Washington trailing thirty five, nothing had halftime,

1605
01:29:56,120 --> 01:29:58,320
Speaker 2: They're going to want to get this done. It's still

1606
01:29:58,400 --> 01:30:01,000
Speaker 2: going to be a very attractive job. Okay, Michigan had

1607
01:30:01,040 --> 01:30:04,640
Speaker 2: three ap top ten finishes in the past nine seasons.

1608
01:30:04,840 --> 01:30:08,080
Speaker 2: It's still considered an upper tier program and a conference

1609
01:30:08,560 --> 01:30:10,760
Speaker 2: that will be drawing enormous money in the wake of

1610
01:30:10,800 --> 01:30:14,559
Speaker 2: this new TV deal. So there you have it. I mean,

1611
01:30:14,800 --> 01:30:17,280
Speaker 2: it's early in the season, but it's not too early

1612
01:30:17,360 --> 01:30:23,240
Speaker 2: to start speculating and considering who will replace mel Tucker

1613
01:30:24,800 --> 01:30:26,400
Speaker 2: coming up, Well, I'm going to bring in the crew,

1614
01:30:26,520 --> 01:30:30,440
Speaker 2: see what Kevin Figures has to say, and and Shay Mognguarde.

1615
01:30:30,840 --> 01:30:35,400
Speaker 2: We'll get their thoughts on who might who might replace Meltucker.

1616
01:30:36,400 --> 01:30:40,400
Speaker 2: Michigan States still for high profile program. But also I'll

1617
01:30:40,479 --> 01:30:43,599
Speaker 2: check in with the guys. There's a lot of great

1618
01:30:43,640 --> 01:30:48,160
Speaker 2: games Saturday, including five matchups between unbeaten teams, ranked teams

1619
01:30:48,160 --> 01:30:50,960
Speaker 2: playing each other, rivals Ohio State and Notre Dame. If

1620
01:30:50,960 --> 01:30:53,000
Speaker 2: you only watch one game, I'll ask the guys which

1621
01:30:53,080 --> 01:30:59,920
Speaker 2: game that would be. And by the way, I want

1622
01:30:59,920 --> 01:31:03,120
Speaker 2: to get their thoughts on Colorado Oregon too. Colorado's three

1623
01:31:03,120 --> 01:31:06,599
Speaker 2: and zero. I mean, they've done, They've won the year.

1624
01:31:06,680 --> 01:31:08,760
Speaker 2: It doesn't really matter what happens from here and out.

1625
01:31:08,760 --> 01:31:11,080
Speaker 2: And by the way, if you if you're mildly curious

1626
01:31:11,320 --> 01:31:15,120
Speaker 2: on how popular Deon Sanders and CU buff football are.

1627
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:19,240
Speaker 2: The first three weeks the college football TV viewership numbers

1628
01:31:19,880 --> 01:31:25,519
Speaker 2: are astronomical, all right. In Colorado's three games week one

1629
01:31:26,160 --> 01:31:30,240
Speaker 2: more people watched. Check that last week more people watched

1630
01:31:30,280 --> 01:31:34,439
Speaker 2: Colorado State Colorado than any other game nine point three

1631
01:31:34,479 --> 01:31:42,600
Speaker 2: million people, Colorado TCU eight point seven million people, Colorado

1632
01:31:42,720 --> 01:31:47,000
Speaker 2: Nebraska eight point eight million people. The only the only

1633
01:31:47,120 --> 01:31:51,120
Speaker 2: two games that rivaled all three Colorado games, where Florida

1634
01:31:51,160 --> 01:31:54,639
Speaker 2: State LSU had nine million and Texas Bama eight point

1635
01:31:54,680 --> 01:31:59,240
Speaker 2: seven million. We're talking Colorado, Colorado State, Colorado State's p

1636
01:31:59,400 --> 01:32:02,400
Speaker 2: what picked a fit six or so in the Mountain West.

1637
01:32:02,600 --> 01:32:06,320
Speaker 2: Great effort last week, though, great entertaining football game. So

1638
01:32:06,320 --> 01:32:07,800
Speaker 2: we'll bring in the crew, get their thoughts on who

1639
01:32:07,880 --> 01:32:10,200
Speaker 2: might replace mil Tucker. If you could only watch one

1640
01:32:10,200 --> 01:32:12,479
Speaker 2: game Saturday, what would it be? And then, of course,

1641
01:32:12,520 --> 01:32:16,479
Speaker 2: by the way, let's get their thoughts on Colorado and

1642
01:32:16,640 --> 01:32:19,160
Speaker 2: Dion Sanders, who I understand, I got a parking ticket

1643
01:32:19,760 --> 01:32:22,400
Speaker 2: Saturday and Boulder? How about that? Or Friday and Boulder?

1644
01:32:22,400 --> 01:32:25,000
Speaker 2: How about that? All right? Bernie Fraddle or come to

Speaker 2: to two am Pacific, five am Eastern, playing at college

1651
01:32:41,680 --> 01:32:45,479
Speaker 2: football topics to tackle as we are seven hours and

1652
01:32:45,520 --> 01:32:51,280
Speaker 2: thirty eight minutes away from Rutgers Michigan kicking off Florida State, Clemson,

1653
01:32:51,400 --> 01:32:55,040
Speaker 2: among others. But Kevin, before I get to the middl

1654
01:32:55,080 --> 01:32:58,759
Speaker 2: Tucker thing, if you could only watch one game Saturday,

1655
01:32:58,800 --> 01:32:59,599
Speaker 2: which one would it be?

1656
01:33:00,560 --> 01:33:02,800
Speaker 6: I definitely have a soft spot for the Pac twelve

1657
01:33:02,840 --> 01:33:05,360
Speaker 6: when it comes to UCLA and Utah, But I got

1658
01:33:05,360 --> 01:33:07,080
Speaker 6: to say it has to be Ohio State.

1659
01:33:07,320 --> 01:33:08,559
Speaker 1: And Notre Dame me too.

1660
01:33:08,640 --> 01:33:10,960
Speaker 6: Go ahead, yeah, just because and I'm trying to remember,

1661
01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:13,280
Speaker 6: and maybe you remember better than me, Bernie, the last

1662
01:33:13,600 --> 01:33:15,800
Speaker 6: big time game that Notre Dame has won on a

1663
01:33:15,800 --> 01:33:18,720
Speaker 6: stage this big. You know, they've been the National Championship games,

1664
01:33:18,720 --> 01:33:21,120
Speaker 6: they've been to New Year Six Bowls. The last one

1665
01:33:21,160 --> 01:33:23,920
Speaker 6: I can remember was dj uey Unglile stepping in for

1666
01:33:24,000 --> 01:33:27,400
Speaker 6: an injured Trevor Lawrence and he played great, but Notre

1667
01:33:27,479 --> 01:33:29,400
Speaker 6: Dame ended up picking up that victory. And that was

1668
01:33:29,439 --> 01:33:31,880
Speaker 6: some years ago now now I feel like Notre Dame

1669
01:33:32,040 --> 01:33:34,080
Speaker 6: is this is the best they've been set up to

1670
01:33:34,120 --> 01:33:36,800
Speaker 6: win on a big stage in the last few years.

1671
01:33:36,800 --> 01:33:39,240
Speaker 6: This is the best quarterback that they've had since, I

1672
01:33:39,240 --> 01:33:42,240
Speaker 6: mean probably since our colleague Brady Quinn was playing there

1673
01:33:43,080 --> 01:33:45,559
Speaker 6: some years ago with Sam Hartman. Last year was a

1674
01:33:45,560 --> 01:33:48,960
Speaker 6: low scoring affair that played into Notre Dame's favor because

1675
01:33:48,960 --> 01:33:51,559
Speaker 6: they didn't have the offensive firepower that they have now.

1676
01:33:52,320 --> 01:33:55,120
Speaker 6: Ohio State was beadter at the quarterback position last season

1677
01:33:55,160 --> 01:33:55,760
Speaker 6: than they are now.

1678
01:33:55,760 --> 01:33:57,839
Speaker 1: They still have all of the great offensive weapons.

1679
01:33:58,160 --> 01:34:00,280
Speaker 6: I do think this is a chance for Notre Dame

1680
01:34:00,360 --> 01:34:02,760
Speaker 6: to really make a major statement and really stake their

1681
01:34:02,800 --> 01:34:05,080
Speaker 6: claim as a true national championship contender.

1682
01:34:05,320 --> 01:34:06,240
Speaker 1: And for Ohio State.

1683
01:34:06,320 --> 01:34:09,040
Speaker 6: You know, for them, you basically have to finish undefeated

1684
01:34:09,120 --> 01:34:11,200
Speaker 6: until the Michigan game. If you lose any to any

1685
01:34:11,200 --> 01:34:13,160
Speaker 6: game before that, it's a failed season for them. So

1686
01:34:13,240 --> 01:34:15,160
Speaker 6: this is as high stake as a game as there

1687
01:34:15,200 --> 01:34:17,479
Speaker 6: can be in Week four of the college football season.

1688
01:34:17,680 --> 01:34:19,280
Speaker 6: So this is the one I'm most looking forward to.

1689
01:34:19,520 --> 01:34:24,360
Speaker 2: I'm in agreement. This is a referendum on both programs

1690
01:34:24,920 --> 01:34:28,360
Speaker 2: if Ohio State were to fall. While it's true they

1691
01:34:28,400 --> 01:34:30,439
Speaker 2: can come back and still win the Big ten to

1692
01:34:30,479 --> 01:34:34,080
Speaker 2: beat Michigan. The whispers about Ryan Day will only get worse,

1693
01:34:34,120 --> 01:34:35,720
Speaker 2: and I don't think it's fair. I don't think it's right.

1694
01:34:35,760 --> 01:34:38,000
Speaker 2: But you break up a good point about Notre Dame.

1695
01:34:38,040 --> 01:34:41,880
Speaker 2: Onen's the last big time national stage game where they've won.

1696
01:34:42,280 --> 01:34:46,560
Speaker 2: Brian Kelly repeatedly got them to that situation, but they

1697
01:34:46,840 --> 01:34:50,920
Speaker 2: know many times were not competitive. So it's a good point.

1698
01:34:50,920 --> 01:34:52,960
Speaker 2: And that's the one game I would watch too. And

1699
01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:55,880
Speaker 2: it's not an easy choice, but you have two big

1700
01:34:55,920 --> 01:34:59,280
Speaker 2: time marquee programs. Notre Dame's got them at home, and

1701
01:34:59,360 --> 01:35:02,080
Speaker 2: to your point, Sam Hartman the best quarterback they've had

1702
01:35:02,120 --> 01:35:05,080
Speaker 2: since since Brady Quinn Shy. If you can only watch

1703
01:35:05,120 --> 01:35:06,519
Speaker 2: one game Saturday, which would it be.

1704
01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:11,400
Speaker 7: I'm gonna have to go with my devils, even though

1705
01:35:11,479 --> 01:35:14,120
Speaker 7: we're gonna be clinging a life. I'm just hoping that

1706
01:35:14,240 --> 01:35:18,360
Speaker 7: we destroy that destroy that spread of minus thirty four

1707
01:35:18,360 --> 01:35:19,000
Speaker 7: and a half.

1708
01:35:19,600 --> 01:35:22,559
Speaker 2: But well, tell the folks what you're talking about. What's

1709
01:35:22,600 --> 01:35:23,080
Speaker 2: the match up?

1710
01:35:23,320 --> 01:35:24,320
Speaker 1: So it's us.

1711
01:35:24,400 --> 01:35:27,200
Speaker 7: He's taken on Arizona State, Arizona State.

1712
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:28,400
Speaker 2: And you're in Arizona State grad.

1713
01:35:28,479 --> 01:35:32,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm in an Arizona State grad. I just graduated last December,

1714
01:35:32,600 --> 01:35:35,840
Speaker 7: so I mean when I was going, there was a

1715
01:35:35,920 --> 01:35:38,679
Speaker 7: much different team. We have good words, and we had

1716
01:35:39,520 --> 01:35:43,559
Speaker 7: a completely different team. We actually lost almost everyone last

1717
01:35:43,640 --> 01:35:47,360
Speaker 7: year due to a couple of things. But yeah, we're

1718
01:35:47,360 --> 01:35:50,120
Speaker 7: a completely different team this year, and we're losing two

1719
01:35:50,400 --> 01:35:52,720
Speaker 7: matchups that we shouldn't even lose to. We lost to

1720
01:35:52,840 --> 01:35:56,600
Speaker 7: Fresno State last week. We paid a million dollars to

1721
01:35:56,640 --> 01:35:57,920
Speaker 7: lose too, which is fine.

1722
01:35:58,479 --> 01:36:01,240
Speaker 2: But they're a good program though. Fresno State beat the

1723
01:36:01,280 --> 01:36:03,040
Speaker 2: crap out of Arizona State in the bowl game three

1724
01:36:03,080 --> 01:36:03,519
Speaker 2: years ago.

1725
01:36:03,640 --> 01:36:05,799
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so I'm I mean, I'm used.

1726
01:36:05,640 --> 01:36:06,720
Speaker 2: To nothing against you.

1727
01:36:07,920 --> 01:36:10,120
Speaker 1: Jeff Teffer's no slaps now, that's.

1728
01:36:10,000 --> 01:36:14,400
Speaker 2: Right, Jeff, you got that right? All right? Fair enough, Shay,

1729
01:36:14,439 --> 01:36:17,160
Speaker 2: that's cool. You want to watch your alma mater, all right,

1730
01:36:17,240 --> 01:36:21,840
Speaker 2: So Kevin, let's talk about Colorado. Listen. I have loved

1731
01:36:21,880 --> 01:36:24,559
Speaker 2: what Dion's done since minute one. It's such a breath

1732
01:36:24,640 --> 01:36:29,760
Speaker 2: of fresh air. When they covered that kick against TCU

1733
01:36:30,160 --> 01:36:32,960
Speaker 2: game one three weeks ago on Labor Day, I watch

1734
01:36:33,040 --> 01:36:35,559
Speaker 2: those kids runner Lands and go, oh my god, he's

1735
01:36:35,560 --> 01:36:37,360
Speaker 2: got a bunch of speed on this team. I didn't

1736
01:36:37,360 --> 01:36:38,840
Speaker 2: know what was gonna happen now they're three? You know

1737
01:36:39,360 --> 01:36:43,160
Speaker 2: your general thoughts on Colorado and what you might expect tomorrow.

1738
01:36:43,760 --> 01:36:45,920
Speaker 6: Well, I don't think it's necessarily going to be pretty

1739
01:36:46,200 --> 01:36:49,560
Speaker 6: against Oregon coming up on Saturday. Look where Colorado I

1740
01:36:49,640 --> 01:36:52,800
Speaker 6: think has matched the skill set when it comes to

1741
01:36:52,920 --> 01:36:57,040
Speaker 6: receivers quarterbacks. Door Sanders is obviously the real deal. Their

1742
01:36:57,080 --> 01:36:59,000
Speaker 6: issues are going to be in the trenches, and I

1743
01:36:59,000 --> 01:37:01,519
Speaker 6: think you've seen that where they have had problems in

1744
01:37:01,560 --> 01:37:04,920
Speaker 6: the first half against Nebraska at times. Last weekend against

1745
01:37:04,960 --> 01:37:07,519
Speaker 6: Colorado State, who is you know they look, it was

1746
01:37:07,560 --> 01:37:10,480
Speaker 6: a rivalry game and all that, but it's inferior competition.

1747
01:37:10,760 --> 01:37:12,160
Speaker 6: So if they were able to get that sort of

1748
01:37:12,200 --> 01:37:14,800
Speaker 6: pressure on Shadura Sanders, what's going to happen when he

1749
01:37:14,800 --> 01:37:17,680
Speaker 6: plays against the likes of an Oregon even US see

1750
01:37:17,720 --> 01:37:20,280
Speaker 6: what their defensive issues. Their strength on defense is their

1751
01:37:20,320 --> 01:37:22,519
Speaker 6: defensive line. But there are transfers that have come in

1752
01:37:23,040 --> 01:37:25,880
Speaker 6: this past offseason. So that's why I think the issues

1753
01:37:25,880 --> 01:37:27,840
Speaker 6: are going to catch up to Colorado. You don't have

1754
01:37:27,880 --> 01:37:30,160
Speaker 6: a lot of depth, and you don't really have a

1755
01:37:30,200 --> 01:37:32,519
Speaker 6: lot of quality athletes up front, at least not yet.

1756
01:37:32,560 --> 01:37:35,840
Speaker 6: The skill positions I think they can compete with almost anybody,

1757
01:37:36,080 --> 01:37:38,320
Speaker 6: but when it comes to being able to block up front,

1758
01:37:38,520 --> 01:37:40,160
Speaker 6: I think that's where those issues are going to show

1759
01:37:40,160 --> 01:37:43,200
Speaker 6: themselves when they play quality competition. And it starts this

1760
01:37:43,280 --> 01:37:44,160
Speaker 6: weekend against.

1761
01:37:43,880 --> 01:37:47,160
Speaker 2: Oregon, and Oregon's got a dynamic running game as well,

1762
01:37:47,200 --> 01:37:49,920
Speaker 2: and I think they're going to open up holes be

1763
01:37:50,040 --> 01:37:52,519
Speaker 2: that as you make. Colorado's got a lot of teams feet.

1764
01:37:52,520 --> 01:37:55,120
Speaker 2: I really wish Travis Hunter was playing. Yeah, that's real,

1765
01:37:55,520 --> 01:37:57,880
Speaker 2: real Quickly before I go to Shay, any thoughts on

1766
01:37:57,960 --> 01:38:01,400
Speaker 2: Michigan State and any bud that I mean, not that

1767
01:38:01,439 --> 01:38:04,960
Speaker 2: it matters, but anybody you would may perhaps Earmark who

1768
01:38:05,000 --> 01:38:07,240
Speaker 2: might be a good fit to take that program over

1769
01:38:07,280 --> 01:38:07,720
Speaker 2: next year.

1770
01:38:07,800 --> 01:38:10,160
Speaker 6: I'm in lockstep with you with patn Ardoozy. He seems

1771
01:38:10,200 --> 01:38:12,559
Speaker 6: to be the obvious choice and makes the most sense.

1772
01:38:13,200 --> 01:38:15,759
Speaker 6: One name to keep an eye on will be Jim Leonard,

1773
01:38:15,800 --> 01:38:19,000
Speaker 6: who was the DC. Yes, they're interested in him, Yeah,

1774
01:38:19,040 --> 01:38:21,880
Speaker 6: and he's now an analyst at Illinois, and he's someone

1775
01:38:21,880 --> 01:38:24,040
Speaker 6: who had gotten a couple of sniffs at head coaching

1776
01:38:24,120 --> 01:38:26,640
Speaker 6: jobs and hasn't worked out. He knows the big ten obviously,

1777
01:38:27,080 --> 01:38:28,599
Speaker 6: so I think he would be a good a good

1778
01:38:28,600 --> 01:38:32,120
Speaker 6: fit don't sleep on. Speaking of Colorado, I can certainly

1779
01:38:32,160 --> 01:38:34,759
Speaker 6: smell a Sean McVay effect when it comes to Colorado

1780
01:38:34,840 --> 01:38:37,439
Speaker 6: if they continue to have success. Sean Lewis was the

1781
01:38:37,479 --> 01:38:39,960
Speaker 6: head coach at Kent State and they're okay. There weren't

1782
01:38:39,960 --> 01:38:42,880
Speaker 6: anything spectacular, But with this offense taking off the way

1783
01:38:42,880 --> 01:38:44,479
Speaker 6: that it is, and if they continue this way, it

1784
01:38:44,479 --> 01:38:47,000
Speaker 6: would not be surprising to me if Sean Louis gets

1785
01:38:47,040 --> 01:38:49,879
Speaker 6: a sniff at head coaching jobs at Power five schools,

1786
01:38:50,160 --> 01:38:53,240
Speaker 6: considering Colorado's turnaround and then another, it will be out

1787
01:38:53,240 --> 01:38:56,000
Speaker 6: of left field. But depending on what happens with the

1788
01:38:56,000 --> 01:38:58,599
Speaker 6: PAC twelve in the future of Oregon State, it wouldn't

1789
01:38:58,600 --> 01:39:01,200
Speaker 6: necessarily surprise me off Jonathan's Smith starts sniffing around for

1790
01:39:01,240 --> 01:39:04,040
Speaker 6: head coaching jobs elsewhere as well. He already plays a

1791
01:39:04,080 --> 01:39:06,320
Speaker 6: sort of Big ten style of offense, slow it down,

1792
01:39:06,400 --> 01:39:07,960
Speaker 6: run the ball, two backs, all of that.

1793
01:39:08,280 --> 01:39:09,200
Speaker 1: At Oregon State.

1794
01:39:09,520 --> 01:39:11,519
Speaker 6: It certainly would not surprise me if you would get

1795
01:39:11,520 --> 01:39:15,000
Speaker 6: a couple of looks from big time programs. If indeed

1796
01:39:15,040 --> 01:39:17,280
Speaker 6: Oregon State is no longer a Power five program this

1797
01:39:17,320 --> 01:39:17,880
Speaker 6: time next.

1798
01:39:17,800 --> 01:39:20,880
Speaker 2: Year, now, good stuff at Oregon State. For my money,

1799
01:39:20,920 --> 01:39:23,479
Speaker 2: I believe has the best defense they do in the

1800
01:39:23,520 --> 01:39:27,200
Speaker 2: Pac twelve. And you bring up a great point about

1801
01:39:27,200 --> 01:39:31,280
Speaker 2: Sean Lewis before he was with Kent State, very creative

1802
01:39:31,320 --> 01:39:35,160
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator. He spent five years with Dino Babers at

1803
01:39:35,800 --> 01:39:39,960
Speaker 2: Syracuse and they had some very prolific offensive teams. They

1804
01:39:40,040 --> 01:39:42,400
Speaker 2: upset Clemson one year on a Friday night and they

1805
01:39:42,400 --> 01:39:45,639
Speaker 2: were like sixteen point underdogs. Finally, you've done your research.

1806
01:39:45,680 --> 01:39:49,800
Speaker 2: Good on you, because my moles were telling me about

1807
01:39:49,880 --> 01:39:54,559
Speaker 2: the Leonard. You know he was with Wisconsin, the longtime

1808
01:39:54,680 --> 01:39:58,720
Speaker 2: NFL player. I know Michigan State is very interested in

1809
01:39:58,800 --> 01:40:00,920
Speaker 2: Jim Leonard, at least a talk up to him, and

1810
01:40:00,920 --> 01:40:02,839
Speaker 2: then I hasn't gotten out there. So good good research

1811
01:40:02,920 --> 01:40:05,240
Speaker 2: by you. I didn't bring that up. I just it

1812
01:40:05,360 --> 01:40:07,720
Speaker 2: slip my mind because I wanted to focus on more

1813
01:40:07,720 --> 01:40:10,200
Speaker 2: of the big names. But you can't. You can't rule

1814
01:40:10,280 --> 01:40:13,799
Speaker 2: him out. Interesting, So all good stuff. Finally, real quickly

1815
01:40:14,200 --> 01:40:17,000
Speaker 2: shay your thoughts on Colorado.

1816
01:40:18,000 --> 01:40:19,880
Speaker 7: Uh yeah, I mean you said to yourself, I'm really

1817
01:40:19,960 --> 01:40:22,040
Speaker 7: upset Travis Hunter is not going to be there for

1818
01:40:22,080 --> 01:40:24,000
Speaker 7: this game. I mean, this is a team that not

1819
01:40:24,120 --> 01:40:27,520
Speaker 7: I mean, they don't rely on those highlight reel plays.

1820
01:40:27,760 --> 01:40:29,800
Speaker 7: But I mean, they do have them, and it's a

1821
01:40:29,800 --> 01:40:33,920
Speaker 7: big reason why this team is where they're at today. Again,

1822
01:40:34,120 --> 01:40:37,639
Speaker 7: like Oregon's rushing is always going to be there, and

1823
01:40:37,760 --> 01:40:40,400
Speaker 7: it's it's going to be something that the Buffaloes haven't

1824
01:40:40,400 --> 01:40:43,280
Speaker 7: really seen yet. So I'm interested to see how their

1825
01:40:43,360 --> 01:40:45,120
Speaker 7: d kind of puts up into it and how Dean

1826
01:40:45,240 --> 01:40:48,920
Speaker 7: reacts to it. But yeah, I'm just really sad Travis

1827
01:40:49,000 --> 01:40:52,400
Speaker 7: Hunter is not playing, and I mean Xavier Weaver is

1828
01:40:52,439 --> 01:40:54,599
Speaker 7: really going to have to pick it up. And that's

1829
01:40:54,600 --> 01:40:57,519
Speaker 7: that's cool to see. Yeah, And I mean.

1830
01:40:57,479 --> 01:41:00,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, Colorado's going to get their points. Yeah, I question

1831
01:41:00,520 --> 01:41:02,719
Speaker 2: will be whether or not they can keep Oregon and check.

1832
01:41:02,960 --> 01:41:05,320
Speaker 2: I think Oregon puts up fifty. If if Colorado can

1833
01:41:05,320 --> 01:41:07,519
Speaker 2: put up thirty, I think that's about the best week,

1834
01:41:07,560 --> 01:41:11,920
Speaker 2: you know. But I'm not i gotta tell you, Colorado's

1835
01:41:11,920 --> 01:41:14,240
Speaker 2: got so much team speed on both sides of the ball,

1836
01:41:14,520 --> 01:41:16,280
Speaker 2: and that makes up for an experience, and it makes

1837
01:41:16,320 --> 01:41:18,120
Speaker 2: up for blowing assignments and it makes up for lack

1838
01:41:18,160 --> 01:41:21,240
Speaker 2: of depth. So I'm just not one of those people

1839
01:41:21,280 --> 01:41:23,479
Speaker 2: that think they're gonna just get curve stopped. I just or,

1840
01:41:23,760 --> 01:41:27,559
Speaker 2: as Kevin would say, Molly Aptorry good stuff. Guys, appreciate it.

1841

Speaker 1: First. The Chargers second straight week.

1847
01:41:39,960 --> 01:41:42,880
Speaker 6: They'll be without running back Austin Eckler as he deals

1848
01:41:42,920 --> 01:41:45,080
Speaker 6: with an ankle injury. They are on the road taking

1849

1850
01:41:48,600 --> 01:41:51,519
Speaker 6: the nod under cinder for the Colts as Anthony Richardson

1851
01:41:51,600 --> 01:41:54,519
Speaker 6: is still in concussion protocol. Andy Dalton will start at

1852
01:41:54,600 --> 01:41:56,599
Speaker 6: quarterback for the Panthers for the next couple of weeks

1853
01:41:56,640 --> 01:41:58,439
Speaker 6: as Bryce Young deals with an ankle.

1854
01:41:58,520 --> 01:42:01,439
Speaker 1: Spring two Major League Small the Giants beat the Dodgers.

1855
01:42:01,439 --> 01:42:04,439
Speaker 6: The Padres outlasted the Cardinals, so San Francisco is three

1856
01:42:04,479 --> 01:42:07,240
Speaker 6: games back of the final National League playoff spot, while

1857
01:42:07,240 --> 01:42:10,160
Speaker 6: San Diego is four games out. Milwaukee clinched at least

1858
01:42:10,200 --> 01:42:12,680
Speaker 6: a playoff birth with they blowout victory over the Marlins,

1859
01:42:12,840 --> 01:42:14,760
Speaker 6: who are one game back of the Cubs for the

1860
01:42:14,800 --> 01:42:17,320
Speaker 6: final wild card of the National League Cubs beat the

1861
01:42:17,360 --> 01:42:19,840
Speaker 6: Rockies earlier on Friday, Rads are a game and a

1862
01:42:19,880 --> 01:42:22,000
Speaker 6: half out of the postseason with a seven to five

1863
01:42:22,080 --> 01:42:24,920
Speaker 6: loss to Pittsburgh. The Twins clinched the American League Central

1864
01:42:24,920 --> 01:42:27,080
Speaker 6: with the victory over the Angels, and the Rangers are

1865
01:42:27,080 --> 01:42:29,280
Speaker 6: back atop the American League West for the first time

1866
01:42:29,280 --> 01:42:31,880
Speaker 6: in a month after they beat the Mariners. And in

1867
01:42:31,880 --> 01:42:34,400
Speaker 6: college football, we had victories for air Force, Boise State

1868
01:42:34,720 --> 01:42:38,120
Speaker 6: and Wisconsin who hammered Perdue thirty eight to seventeen. Seventeen

1869
01:42:38,200 --> 01:42:41,840
Speaker 6: consecutive victories for the Badgers over Perdue. All right, back

1870
01:42:41,880 --> 01:42:42,519
Speaker 6: to Bernie Freddo.

1871
01:42:42,840 --> 01:42:47,080
Speaker 2: All right, thanks Kevin. Good stuff. So even though we're

1872
01:42:47,120 --> 01:42:50,240
Speaker 2: not in the middle of World Cup and the Olympics

1873
01:42:50,240 --> 01:42:54,280
Speaker 2: are still nine months away, believe me, there is always

1874
01:42:54,360 --> 01:42:56,800
Speaker 2: news in the world of soccer, which is exactly why,

1875
01:42:56,920 --> 01:43:00,840
Speaker 2: and not the least of which Leonel Messi's injury has

1876
01:43:00,920 --> 01:43:03,400
Speaker 2: caught the eye and attention of our own Chris Prefett.

1877
01:43:03,640 --> 01:43:05,599
Speaker 2: It's time for Chris Burfett to World of soccer.

1878
01:43:06,920 --> 01:43:22,960
Speaker 4: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drumm. It's

1879
01:43:23,000 --> 01:43:26,160
Speaker 4: all here in this report from the World of Soccer.

1880
01:43:26,280 --> 01:43:29,559
Speaker 11: An update coming on the World Cup and where its

1881
01:43:29,640 --> 01:43:32,040
Speaker 11: final could be. But we have to start here, Bernie,

1882
01:43:32,080 --> 01:43:36,080
Speaker 11: with a dream that might finally be in jeopardy. We

1883
01:43:36,120 --> 01:43:39,879
Speaker 11: are talking about Lionel Messi. We are talking about Inter Miami,

1884
01:43:40,160 --> 01:43:43,679
Speaker 11: and we're talking about their late season charge they hoped

1885
01:43:44,040 --> 01:43:46,840
Speaker 11: would still be able to pay off with Messi coming

1886
01:43:46,920 --> 01:43:49,880
Speaker 11: as a proper reinforcement to help them make the MLS

1887
01:43:49,960 --> 01:43:54,920
Speaker 11: Cup playoffs. When Leonel Messi joined into Miami, they were

1888
01:43:54,960 --> 01:43:59,080
Speaker 11: at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, far out of

1889
01:43:59,120 --> 01:44:02,839
Speaker 11: contention for em Less Cup playoffs. One to seven goes

1890
01:44:03,360 --> 01:44:07,120
Speaker 11: to the playoffs. Miami was sitting around fifteen. Right now

1891
01:44:07,120 --> 01:44:11,800
Speaker 11: in Eastern Conference, they're thirteen thirty one points, placing them

1892
01:44:11,800 --> 01:44:16,320
Speaker 11: about twelve points back of seventh place Nashville. And unfortunately,

1893
01:44:16,479 --> 01:44:19,479
Speaker 11: the injuries are starting to ramp up and things look

1894
01:44:19,560 --> 01:44:24,120
Speaker 11: fairly grim for the squad in Miami. Lionel Messi, according

1895
01:44:24,120 --> 01:44:26,760
Speaker 11: to Toada, Martino is dealing with an issue with an

1896
01:44:26,800 --> 01:44:30,120
Speaker 11: injury that is issuing forth from old scar tissue he

1897
01:44:30,200 --> 01:44:34,200
Speaker 11: withdrew after a free kick during international break against Ecuador.

1898
01:44:34,280 --> 01:44:36,920
Speaker 11: He won that free kicked end up being a great

1899
01:44:36,960 --> 01:44:39,559
Speaker 11: winner against that country, but then he went on and

1900
01:44:39,600 --> 01:44:44,040
Speaker 11: missed the World Cup qualifier against Bolivia that Argentina also played.

1901
01:44:44,080 --> 01:44:46,720
Speaker 11: He also sat out against Atlanta United, and he only

1902
01:44:46,720 --> 01:44:50,920
Speaker 11: played thirty seven minutes against Toronto FC in this past month.

1903
01:44:51,000 --> 01:44:53,639
Speaker 11: That has been the history so far with Lionel Messi

1904
01:44:53,680 --> 01:44:56,519
Speaker 11: this past month. Not only does Inter Miami have to

1905
01:44:56,560 --> 01:44:59,559
Speaker 11: deal with these injuries to its very big star that

1906
01:44:59,560 --> 01:45:01,320
Speaker 11: has paid a lot a lot of money for that

1907
01:45:01,360 --> 01:45:03,839
Speaker 11: the entire world wants to see play and is magical

1908
01:45:03,880 --> 01:45:06,639
Speaker 11: when he sees play, but their number two man, Jordi Alba,

1909
01:45:06,760 --> 01:45:09,280
Speaker 11: is apparently also dealing with muscle pain as well and

1910
01:45:09,360 --> 01:45:13,320
Speaker 11: has been missing time here too. Now Sunday they take

1911
01:45:13,360 --> 01:45:17,280
Speaker 11: on Orlando City SC. It's one of six games remaining

1912
01:45:17,720 --> 01:45:22,519
Speaker 11: in their MLS schedule. They're also taking on Wednesday Houston

1913
01:45:22,600 --> 01:45:27,320
Speaker 11: Dynamo in the US Open Cup, this country's version of

1914
01:45:27,360 --> 01:45:29,800
Speaker 11: the FA Cup. Everyone kind of plays each other, this,

1915
01:45:29,880 --> 01:45:32,320
Speaker 11: that and the other thing. That's a very good squad.

1916
01:45:33,000 --> 01:45:34,320
Speaker 11: I don't know if they're going to be able to

1917
01:45:34,360 --> 01:45:37,360
Speaker 11: keep themselves alive in the US Open Cup. It would

1918
01:45:37,360 --> 01:45:39,760
Speaker 11: take one hell of a team effort to keep that

1919
01:45:39,880 --> 01:45:43,479
Speaker 11: dream there. As for the MLS Cup playoffs, again, six

1920
01:45:43,560 --> 01:45:47,479
Speaker 11: games here. If they lose against Orlando City, the dream

1921
01:45:47,600 --> 01:45:50,400
Speaker 11: might be good and truly over. In fact, I might

1922
01:45:50,439 --> 01:45:52,919
Speaker 11: even just call it over right now as it stands,

1923
01:45:52,960 --> 01:45:55,479
Speaker 11: because quite honestly, you would need a lot of help

1924
01:45:55,840 --> 01:45:59,519
Speaker 11: and a lot of dropping of points from Nashville or

1925
01:45:59,600 --> 01:46:04,320
Speaker 11: Atlanta to really make up the ground that inter Miami

1926
01:46:04,360 --> 01:46:06,679
Speaker 11: still needs to really make up. There was once upon

1927
01:46:06,720 --> 01:46:09,960
Speaker 11: a time where it looked possible. This week, though, it's

1928
01:46:10,080 --> 01:46:13,360
Speaker 11: kind of felt like it's kind of it's over. That's

1929
01:46:13,360 --> 01:46:16,200
Speaker 11: not to say inter Miami can't win games without Jordi

1930
01:46:16,280 --> 01:46:19,840
Speaker 11: Alba and without Leonel Messi. Robert Taylor netted them two

1931
01:46:19,880 --> 01:46:24,240
Speaker 11: goals against Toronto, but it does feel like the math is.

1932
01:46:24,240 --> 01:46:25,520
Speaker 1: Against inter Miami.

1933
01:46:25,800 --> 01:46:27,760
Speaker 11: And I do want to say this, I don't think

1934
01:46:27,800 --> 01:46:29,760
Speaker 11: their plan was ever for this to be the year

1935
01:46:29,800 --> 01:46:32,719
Speaker 11: where they start to really dominate. What you got this year,

1936
01:46:33,000 --> 01:46:35,800
Speaker 11: with Leonel Messi scoring the way he did, was a

1937
01:46:36,000 --> 01:46:39,479
Speaker 11: wonderful preview of what inter Miami could be doing in

1938
01:46:39,600 --> 01:46:43,400
Speaker 11: years future. With Leonel Messi here playing for however long

1939
01:46:43,439 --> 01:46:46,080
Speaker 11: he decides to play, be it two or three years,

1940
01:46:46,320 --> 01:46:48,280
Speaker 11: what it will impact is how the rest of the

1941
01:46:48,320 --> 01:46:52,840
Speaker 11: country perhaps perceives the MLS Cup playoffs after all of this,

1942
01:46:53,080 --> 01:46:56,479
Speaker 11: Messi hype to have the playoffs without Leonel Messi in it.

1943
01:46:56,880 --> 01:47:00,160
Speaker 11: I wonder how that's going to play out, especially after

1944
01:47:00,320 --> 01:47:05,040
Speaker 11: months and months of MLS Season pass on Apple TV

1945
01:47:05,439 --> 01:47:09,000
Speaker 11: painted all over with Leonel Messi's face in that inter

1946
01:47:09,120 --> 01:47:12,320
Speaker 11: Miami pink. That's not to say the MLS Cup Playoffs

1947
01:47:12,360 --> 01:47:15,320
Speaker 11: can't stand on their own. Last year we saw a

1948
01:47:15,439 --> 01:47:19,760
Speaker 11: phenomenal finish Bernie. We talked about it with LAFC and

1949
01:47:19,800 --> 01:47:22,599
Speaker 11: the Philadelphia Union. A lot of people watched that game

1950
01:47:22,600 --> 01:47:25,280
Speaker 11: and a lot of people had a lot of fun

1951
01:47:25,720 --> 01:47:28,080
Speaker 11: with that final. But if you were hoping for Messi

1952
01:47:28,160 --> 01:47:30,320
Speaker 11: mania in the playoffs, I don't think that's going to happen.

1953
01:47:31,200 --> 01:47:34,240
Speaker 11: The other major story this week, Bernie, comes from the

1954
01:47:34,280 --> 01:47:37,519
Speaker 11: World Cup set to start in twenty twenty six, and

1955
01:47:37,680 --> 01:47:41,160
Speaker 11: we've talked about the arrangements of cities before and how

1956
01:47:41,240 --> 01:47:43,840
Speaker 11: these cities are getting everything as the World Cup is

1957
01:47:43,840 --> 01:47:49,080
Speaker 11: being hosted between the United States, Canada and Mexico. And

1958
01:47:49,120 --> 01:47:51,599
Speaker 11: I believe when we talked we thought that the final

1959
01:47:51,680 --> 01:47:55,280
Speaker 11: would be in Los Angeles. That hasn't been set in

1960
01:47:55,400 --> 01:47:58,240
Speaker 11: stone yet, and we are finding out now from a

1961
01:47:58,280 --> 01:48:00,920
Speaker 11: report from the Athletic that there is now tension between

1962
01:48:00,960 --> 01:48:06,960
Speaker 11: FIFA and stan Krunky's group KSC. Stan Cranky owns the

1963
01:48:07,400 --> 01:48:10,479
Speaker 11: own Sofi Stadium and the Los Angeles Rams who play there,

1964
01:48:10,760 --> 01:48:13,120
Speaker 11: and has been instrumental in getting a lot of major

1965
01:48:13,160 --> 01:48:18,440
Speaker 11: events to Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles. But they're unhappy

1966
01:48:18,479 --> 01:48:22,000
Speaker 11: with how income is being planned to be distributed between

1967
01:48:22,040 --> 01:48:24,519
Speaker 11: the World Cup to the cities and the stadiums that

1968
01:48:24,600 --> 01:48:27,320
Speaker 11: host them. Now everyone's trying to get a piece of

1969
01:48:27,360 --> 01:48:31,160
Speaker 11: the World Cup pie. Right now, you have so many games,

1970
01:48:31,479 --> 01:48:34,840
Speaker 11: so many cities, and everyone's jockeying for more and more

1971
01:48:34,920 --> 01:48:38,479
Speaker 11: of that pie. I remember back in a few months ago,

1972
01:48:38,920 --> 01:48:42,320
Speaker 11: there was a conversation with the New York City mayor

1973
01:48:42,640 --> 01:48:45,479
Speaker 11: and the New Jersey governor discussing how many games they

1974
01:48:45,479 --> 01:48:48,719
Speaker 11: wanted to get into MetLife Stadium in the Meadow Lens,

1975
01:48:48,800 --> 01:48:51,400
Speaker 11: hoping to get at least eight games because they wanted

1976
01:48:51,439 --> 01:48:55,439
Speaker 11: that much for New York. But the final of the

1977
01:48:55,439 --> 01:48:58,839
Speaker 11: World Cup is the biggest single piece of the pie.

1978
01:48:58,960 --> 01:49:00,799
Speaker 1: Itself is massive.

1979
01:49:00,840 --> 01:49:03,040
Speaker 11: It draws in a ton of eyes, It draws in

1980
01:49:03,080 --> 01:49:06,280
Speaker 11: global television ratings that makes the Super Bowl look like

1981
01:49:06,320 --> 01:49:09,640
Speaker 11: a rerun of two and a half Men and I

1982
01:49:09,720 --> 01:49:14,679
Speaker 11: believe in a justin logical world, with competent people running

1983
01:49:14,680 --> 01:49:17,679
Speaker 11: this sport, there would be no question at all this

1984
01:49:18,280 --> 01:49:22,680
Speaker 11: final would be hosted in Los Angeles and in Sofi Stadium.

1985
01:49:22,800 --> 01:49:25,120
Speaker 11: It is a state of the art stadium in the

1986
01:49:25,120 --> 01:49:29,080
Speaker 11: heart of the second largest metropolis in North America, in

1987
01:49:29,200 --> 01:49:33,519
Speaker 11: the heart of an entertainment industry that defines the rest

1988
01:49:33,600 --> 01:49:37,919
Speaker 11: of the world. And yet that's not set in stone.

1989
01:49:38,800 --> 01:49:41,840
Speaker 11: And a man destined to throw flies into the soup

1990
01:49:41,880 --> 01:49:46,439
Speaker 11: of stan Krunki and Los Angeles is Jerry Jones. Yes,

1991
01:49:46,960 --> 01:49:50,640
Speaker 11: that Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, who

1992
01:49:50,880 --> 01:49:54,160
Speaker 11: was told Dallas Morning News that he's trying to get

1993
01:49:54,160 --> 01:49:59,000
Speaker 11: the final in Dallas, in Arlington, at Cowboys Stadium, at

1994
01:49:59,120 --> 01:50:03,439
Speaker 11: Jerry World, the Bleeding death Star. And wouldn't you know

1995
01:50:04,680 --> 01:50:08,519
Speaker 11: this past Sunday as the Cowboys host to the New

1996
01:50:08,640 --> 01:50:14,160
Speaker 11: York Jets, spotted on camera with Jerry Jones seated in

1997
01:50:14,200 --> 01:50:20,160
Speaker 11: his suite was FIFA President Johnny Infantino. He was there

1998
01:50:20,200 --> 01:50:23,520
Speaker 11: with Jerry. He got to pala around with Micah Parsons

1999
01:50:23,560 --> 01:50:24,880
Speaker 11: on the field during the game.

2000
01:50:24,960 --> 01:50:27,280
Speaker 1: They showed him up on the jumbo tron on TV.

2001
01:50:27,760 --> 01:50:33,880
Speaker 11: Everything FIFA is no stranger to grift, to corruption, to

2002
01:50:34,520 --> 01:50:39,680
Speaker 11: gifts to bribery of both legal and illegal kinds. So

2003
01:50:39,760 --> 01:50:41,800
Speaker 11: if you think that this game is set to be

2004
01:50:41,840 --> 01:50:45,120
Speaker 11: played in Los Angeles, brother, you better watch out, because

2005
01:50:45,240 --> 01:50:48,880
Speaker 11: Jerry is throwing his weight around and the final might

2006
01:50:49,000 --> 01:50:50,360
Speaker 11: truly be in Dallas.

2007
01:50:51,240 --> 01:50:52,760
Speaker 1: Ye freaking haw.

2008
01:50:53,479 --> 01:50:55,360
Speaker 11: It's something we're going to have to keep our eye

2009
01:50:55,439 --> 01:50:59,080
Speaker 11: on here because keeping FIFA away from their old tricks

2010
01:50:59,800 --> 01:51:02,439
Speaker 11: is like telling a raging bowlk don't charge at the

2011
01:51:02,560 --> 01:51:03,439
Speaker 11: color red.

2012
01:51:03,600 --> 01:51:04,479
Speaker 1: That's all I've got for you.

2013
01:51:04,600 --> 01:51:07,200
Speaker 11: Enjoy your weekend here, Bernie and everyone at home.

2014
01:51:07,320 --> 01:51:08,639
Speaker 1: This has been the world of soccer.

2015
01:51:09,360 --> 01:51:14,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking of political football, I Mike Moles tell me

2016
01:51:14,400 --> 01:51:18,160
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, it's unlikely that the

2017
01:51:18,200 --> 01:51:21,400
Speaker 2: World Cup final would be played at so far because

2018
01:51:21,439 --> 01:51:24,080
Speaker 2: of money. There will be a disagreement on money. We

2019
01:51:24,240 --> 01:51:27,840
Speaker 2: shall see, all right, It's good stuff. Chris coming up,

2020
01:51:27,920 --> 01:51:32,840
Speaker 2: I've got a memo to Justin Fields. You're gonna want

Speaker 2: Bernie Frattle Show, coming to you live from the tirac

01:51:52,560 --> 01:51:54,599
Speaker 2: any further, I want to thank my broadcast team back

2028
01:51:54,600 --> 01:51:57,439
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles turning all the Dallas keeping us glued together.

2029
01:51:57,520 --> 01:52:02,120
Speaker 2: Great job, guys, our technical producer Mark Ramsey, Kevin Figures

2030
01:52:02,400 --> 01:52:06,160
Speaker 2: of course on the updates, and Shave Morgangarde. Great job

2031
01:52:06,240 --> 01:52:10,080
Speaker 2: with the game went off without a hitch. I'll be

2032
01:52:10,120 --> 01:52:13,439
Speaker 2: back on these Aero waves Saturday night, eleven pm Pacific

2033
01:52:14,640 --> 01:52:17,960
Speaker 2: after a full slate of college football as we anticipate

2034
01:52:18,400 --> 01:52:22,160
Speaker 2: Week three in the NFL. But I digress. Look, I

2035
01:52:22,200 --> 01:52:26,200
Speaker 2: want to give a quick memo to Justin Fields. Let

2036
01:52:26,200 --> 01:52:28,599
Speaker 2: me set this up because it's funny how when you

2037
01:52:28,640 --> 01:52:33,600
Speaker 2: put things in perspective, you might you might have a

2038
01:52:33,640 --> 01:52:40,320
Speaker 2: slightly different opinion. You know, what if Justin Fields in

2039
01:52:40,360 --> 01:52:44,160
Speaker 2: his next three years, including this year, when twenty five

2040
01:52:44,200 --> 01:52:46,640
Speaker 2: and thirteen as a starter, made the playoffs two or

2041
01:52:46,640 --> 01:52:51,400
Speaker 2: three years, through sixty five touchdowns, thirty seven interceptions, completed

2042
01:52:51,439 --> 01:52:55,800
Speaker 2: sixty seven percent of his passes, would that be pretty good? Well,

2043
01:52:55,840 --> 01:52:58,840
Speaker 2: that's what Mitch Trubisky did and Chicago ran him out

2044
01:52:58,840 --> 01:53:02,000
Speaker 2: of town on a rail. And make no mistake, I

2045
01:53:02,040 --> 01:53:05,040
Speaker 2: know Mitch Truwisky most likely was not going to get

2046
01:53:05,080 --> 01:53:09,000
Speaker 2: the Bears to a Super Bowl. Justin Fields is trying

2047
01:53:09,000 --> 01:53:11,280
Speaker 2: to get the Bears to the red zone. This isn't

2048
01:53:11,320 --> 01:53:14,799
Speaker 2: funny anymore. You know, Micha Lombardi a very respected NFL

2049
01:53:15,360 --> 01:53:20,759
Speaker 2: scout for years. Heading into the season around the drafts,

2050
01:53:20,760 --> 01:53:24,600
Speaker 2: you know there's two teams that had quarterbacks that performed similarly.

2051
01:53:24,680 --> 01:53:27,919
Speaker 2: One were the Houston Texas, then a guy named Davis Mills.

2052
01:53:28,280 --> 01:53:31,960
Speaker 2: If you compare Davis Mills stats to Justin Fields just

2053
01:53:32,000 --> 01:53:35,200
Speaker 2: heading into this year, and you know, this year, Fields

2054
01:53:35,280 --> 01:53:39,320
Speaker 2: is already owing to two touchdowns, three interceptions and hasn't

2055
01:53:39,400 --> 01:53:42,519
Speaker 2: run for a lot of yards. But last year, if

2056
01:53:42,560 --> 01:53:47,400
Speaker 2: you looked at the cumulative careers of Davis Mills, who

2057
01:53:47,720 --> 01:53:51,599
Speaker 2: nobody predicted greatness for although I thought he was pretty decent,

2058
01:53:52,160 --> 01:53:55,759
Speaker 2: and Justin Fields, who a lot of folks people actually

2059
01:53:55,840 --> 01:53:58,280
Speaker 2: bet on him to win the MVP this year. So

2060
01:53:58,360 --> 01:54:03,679
Speaker 2: these were the numbers posed between Mills and Fields. Heading

2061
01:54:03,800 --> 01:54:08,240
Speaker 2: into the twenty twenty three season, Mills had thrown for

2062
01:54:09,080 --> 01:54:13,519
Speaker 2: fifty eight hundred yards and twenty six starts, Fields forty

2063
01:54:13,520 --> 01:54:17,760
Speaker 2: one hundred yards. Mills had thrown for thirty three touchdowns.

2064
01:54:18,080 --> 01:54:21,599
Speaker 2: Fields twenty four touchdowns. Fields are completed about fifty nine

2065
01:54:21,600 --> 01:54:25,479
Speaker 2: percent of his passes. Davis Mills sixty four percent of

2066
01:54:25,520 --> 01:54:28,439
Speaker 2: his passes. Now, Davis Mills was five and nineteen is

2067
01:54:28,439 --> 01:54:31,679
Speaker 2: a starter. Justin Fields is five and twenty as a starter.

2068
01:54:31,760 --> 01:54:34,400
Speaker 2: Now he's five and twenty two. But how ironic that

2069
01:54:34,520 --> 01:54:37,600
Speaker 2: one team claimed that we need a new quarterback. The

2070
01:54:37,640 --> 01:54:40,400
Speaker 2: other one claims, no, we don't. Matter of fact, some

2071
01:54:40,400 --> 01:54:42,320
Speaker 2: people are going to vote for MVP hee'd they have

2072
01:54:42,440 --> 01:54:47,600
Speaker 2: roughly the same amount of stats. I consider Justin Fields

2073
01:54:47,920 --> 01:54:53,960
Speaker 2: to be a fairly high character individual. His legacy to

2074
01:54:53,960 --> 01:54:56,640
Speaker 2: Ohiose State is secure. He's not a major league quarterback.

2075
01:54:57,280 --> 01:54:59,280
Speaker 2: You want to all be in denial, knock your shelf out.

2076
01:55:00,120 --> 01:55:03,200
Speaker 2: And what he did Wednesday to me is very bothersome. Yes,

2077
01:55:03,240 --> 01:55:06,000
Speaker 2: he called out his coaches. Now he regrouped later, he

2078
01:55:06,040 --> 01:55:09,880
Speaker 2: caught himself because he wanted to save face. Because I

2079
01:55:09,920 --> 01:55:11,480
Speaker 2: do think the man has a conscious and I do

2080
01:55:11,520 --> 01:55:13,160
Speaker 2: think he's a character individual. It is not a major

2081
01:55:13,240 --> 01:55:17,160
Speaker 2: league quarterback. The whole thing just it got worse. See,

2082
01:55:17,200 --> 01:55:19,600
Speaker 2: because if you're going to call out your coaches. Those

2083
01:55:19,600 --> 01:55:22,360
Speaker 2: coaches must be really bad, I guess, because Justin Field

2084
01:55:22,400 --> 01:55:25,720
Speaker 2: has lost ten straight starts. That's the longest any barssed

2085
01:55:25,760 --> 01:55:29,919
Speaker 2: quarterback has endured since nineteen sixty six. Facts not feelings.

2086
01:55:29,960 --> 01:55:32,920
Speaker 2: There are personal feelings and there are objective truths. These

2087
01:55:32,920 --> 01:55:35,200
Speaker 2: are objective truth Fields is five and twenty two as

2088
01:55:35,200 --> 01:55:38,520
Speaker 2: a starter. He's taken sixty five sacks in the last

2089
01:55:38,520 --> 01:55:42,680
Speaker 2: twenty NFL games he started. Despite having the third longest

2090
01:55:42,680 --> 01:55:46,160
Speaker 2: time to throw according to Next Gen Stats. His receivers

2091
01:55:46,160 --> 01:55:49,080
Speaker 2: are open on average three point four yards per play

2092
01:55:49,120 --> 01:55:52,360
Speaker 2: of separation, the most of any targeted wide receiver in

2093
01:55:52,400 --> 01:55:55,720
Speaker 2: the National Football League since twenty twenty two. Yet Field's

2094
01:55:55,760 --> 01:55:58,840
Speaker 2: only complete fifty eight percent of his passes. Here's the memo,

2095
01:55:59,080 --> 01:56:03,480
Speaker 2: mister Fields, I don't care who you are. The number

2096
01:56:03,480 --> 01:56:07,560
Speaker 2: one and the most important trade an NFL quarterback has.

2097
01:56:07,920 --> 01:56:11,880
Speaker 2: It's a demanding position is recognition. You've got to be

2098
01:56:11,920 --> 01:56:14,840
Speaker 2: able to make your pre snap reads, process coverages. It's

2099
01:56:14,880 --> 01:56:18,400
Speaker 2: a position you play with your eyes, not your legs.

2100
01:56:18,840 --> 01:56:21,160
Speaker 2: You receive the ball, you make your post snap reads.

2101
01:56:21,440 --> 01:56:24,600
Speaker 2: You see how they match up with your pre snap observations,

2102
01:56:24,800 --> 01:56:27,360
Speaker 2: and you have less than two seconds to execute. I

2103
01:56:27,400 --> 01:56:30,160
Speaker 2: don't care how fast you run, how high you jump,

2104
01:56:30,240 --> 01:56:32,440
Speaker 2: or if you can throw a football further than Uncle Rico.

2105
01:56:33,280 --> 01:56:37,280
Speaker 2: You can't hold the damn ball. You've got to get

2106
01:56:37,280 --> 01:56:40,480
Speaker 2: the ball out of your hands to do that. That

2107
01:56:40,560 --> 01:56:45,720
Speaker 2: requires recognition. And by the way, justin Field's default mechanism

2108
01:56:45,840 --> 01:56:48,720
Speaker 2: is to run, and even then he's willy nilly, because

2109
01:56:48,720 --> 01:56:50,400
Speaker 2: if you're going to move your feet to keep a

2110
01:56:50,400 --> 01:56:52,880
Speaker 2: play alive, take note is a defense and man to

2111
01:56:52,960 --> 01:56:55,600
Speaker 2: man if so, that could be a green light to

2112
01:56:55,680 --> 01:56:59,320
Speaker 2: run north and south south since the defensive backs when

2113
01:56:59,360 --> 01:57:01,400
Speaker 2: they're facing a from you, except for the safety, he's

2114
01:57:01,440 --> 01:57:04,440
Speaker 2: probably thirty yards away if the defense is in his

2115
01:57:04,520 --> 01:57:07,800
Speaker 2: zone role. Latterly, give your receivers a chance to CD

2116
01:57:07,840 --> 01:57:11,440
Speaker 2: aster routes, get open, create a positive play. DJ Moore

2117
01:57:11,480 --> 01:57:13,920
Speaker 2: is already frustrated. They only allowed him to attempt four

2118
01:57:13,960 --> 01:57:16,800
Speaker 2: passes of more than ten yards. All the signs are there.

2119
01:57:17,160 --> 01:57:19,440
Speaker 2: I don't wish him any I will, but I think

2120
01:57:19,480 --> 01:57:21,680
Speaker 2: the Hayes and the barn you know what you got,

2121
01:57:22,040 --> 01:57:23,600
Speaker 2: and I think the Bears are in for a hell

2122
01:57:23,600 --> 01:57:25,600
Speaker 2: of a long season, and I hope we don't have

2123
01:57:25,640 --> 01:57:29,600
