Speaker 3: week one in college football?

9
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: How about this?

10
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 3: We got three top ten matches. I can't even remember

11
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 3: Week zero and the soft launch. Now we got big

12
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 3: boy games left and right. This is a beautiful thing.

13
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 3: We will have rich Ornberger with us momentarily, but as

14
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 3: of now you get a steady diet of no mc

15
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 3: smith over at Smith.

16
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: What the good morning, buddy, How you doing. I'm great.

17
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: Checked out UNLB last night watched a great win for them.

18
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if you were able to. They keep

19
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: track of that game, but the scoreboard didn't have the

20
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: clock on. So they played the game at an MLS

21
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: stadium in Houston, and it was hot in Houston. I

22
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: got word from the UNLB sideline that the clock melted

23
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: like literally like the mechanism that you know operates the

24
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: clock and puts it on the scoreboard and puts it

25
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: on TV. It melted in the humidity of Houston, and

26
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 1: they were going there was no imagine sweating that game out.

27
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 1: The game landed right on the total of fifty nine.

28
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: Imagine sweating that game out in the fourth quarter, and

29
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: you don't know how much time is left on the clock.

30
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: That's got to be tough for all you gamblers out there.

31
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 1: Sorry about that guy.

32
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 3: I'm so glad you mentioned this because I had a

33
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 3: second half bet YEP on Central Michigan going on at

34
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 3: the same time, and I had the little quad box

35
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 3: going at the time, and one of them had Sports

36
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 3: Center on one head. I don't remember like the US

37
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 3: Open on. It was two college football games going on,

38
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 3: and I would peak up at the UNLV game, and

39
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 3: you know, I picked at this the in game line

40
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 3: and I'm like, you know, eighteen and a half, twenty

41
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 3: and a half. I don't know, I'm flipping quarters at

42
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 3: this point. I'm just gonna stay away. But I'm watching

43
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 3: the UNLV game, and you know, like Sam Houston scored

44
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 3: a long touchdown and then UNLV scored a long touchdown, and.

45
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: It just seemed like the fourth quarter never ended, and

46
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, how much it might I know were going on? Honestly,

47
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: we really don't know. It was the clock melted, huh melted,

48
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: the actual mechanism whatever machine, you know, the robots failed

49
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: us last night.

50
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,119
Speaker 3: Brian, My goodness, that's unbelievable. But yeah, they had. You'll

51
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 3: see sometimes in basketball, right, like the actual scoreboard is

52
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 3: messed up, or like the graphic on the screen is

53
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 3: messed up, and so they have to have a little

54
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 3: camera like tight zoom in shotah of the actual clock

55
00:02:58,880 --> 00:02:59,399
Speaker 3: at the game.

56
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: They couldn't do that. Last couldn't do it because there's

57
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: no there was it was. It wasn't even in the

58
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: in the stadium. It wasn't working. I actually I sympathize.

59
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: I think it was I forget who was calling the game.

60
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: It was the old Marlins play by play guy walls Waltz.

61
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: I apologize, but I don't know his first name. But

62
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: it was funny because he was he was like bemoaning it,

63
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: like like you could just hear the anger in his

64
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: in his voice when he was like, I don't know

65
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: how much dive was left in the game.

66
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 3: I was about to say, I wonder if they were

67
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 3: giving updates that there were.

68
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: No yeah, on the field they were, and I think

69
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: it was like communicating it back to the booth. But

70
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: that's got it. I mean, as you know, if you

71
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: called games before that stuff like you rely on that

72
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: scoreboard as your crutch.

73
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 3: By the way, I have to tell you a very

74
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 3: quick story Jared Smith, and we'll dive headfirst into college football.

75
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: But I just had a flashback.

76
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 3: So I was I had to do high school football

77
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 3: play by play in Fresno, California.

78
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: Shout out to the five five nine, right.

79
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 3: Jeff mcgretty, my boss at the time, his son played

80
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 3: high school football, and he's like, we got to call

81
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 3: high school football games the rival station, like the ESPN affiliate.

82
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 3: They did an amazing job. It was like college game Day.

83
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: I'm not even kidding. Wow.

84
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 3: For their high school coverage, it was insane. And they

85
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 3: had people calling. You know Chris Haynes, who does.

86
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: Like yeah yeah, he was the producer.

87
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 3: So I worked with Chris for years in Fresno, and

88
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 3: so I told Chris, I was like, I got to

89
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 3: call this high school game and the real like the

90
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 3: ESPN station, they had people all across the valley calling

91
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 3: in with scores and stuff. I'm like, that's no staff,

92
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 3: we have nobody. I was like, just listen to their

93
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 3: broadcast and text me what the scoring updates are. And

94
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 3: I'll act like we've got a bunch of people around

95
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 3: the valley as well. And so that's what he would do.

96
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 3: And anyway, I was about to call a game I'll

97
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 3: never forget. It was Clovis East and they run like

98
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 3: the wing tea literally Jared the wing tea. And the

99
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 3: guy who did color for us, he was awesome. He's

100
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 3: a former like assistant coach. He knew everything about high

101
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 3: school football. He just didn't show up for this game.

102
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 3: He got a job at the ESPN station, just didn't show.

103
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: Up for this game. So I went Vince Scully Jared.

104
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 3: I'm sitting there with the rosters, just calling this game

105
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 3: like all right, uh, Johnson back and he's gonna keep it.

106
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 3: And a nice game of seven right there, Clovis East

107
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 3: staying on track second and three.

108
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 1: Very nice.

109
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 3: It was just the most random thing, man, But here

110
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 3: we are today. Yeah you ever did?

111
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: By the way, Rich Waltz that was the name of

112
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: the play by play guy. He does a good job

113
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: for CBS Sports Network and he was on the call

114
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: last night. I sympathized with you. Rich. I'm sure you're

115
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: not listening. You're probably sleeping. But that was a tough one.

116
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: Calling a game with no clock has got to be

117
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: really difficult to do or without a color guy. Yeah,

118
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 1: and you don't know what broadcaster, Brian, you could get

119
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: through that. Come on, Well, thank you. I appreciate that.

120
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm surprised I didn't get a Marconi for that.

121
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: Amazing. Okay, so we got today, that's right, there you go.

122
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: We've got three top ten games today, Jared.

123
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 3: So we've got number one Texas at number three Ohio State.

124
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 3: We've got what number number one, that's right, We've got

125
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 3: number nine and number nine against number four Clemson, number four.

126
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 3: All right, there we go. We got number six, notre

127
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 3: number six against number ten Mi ten. Good thing we

128
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 3: don't have like the eleventh ranked team, you know, I

129
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 3: think it just goes to ten right there. But of

130
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 3: these we've got three top ten games in week one.

131
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 3: It's the first time ever, never happened before we've had

132
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 3: this many top ten games in week one. It's actually

133
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 3: only happened two other times aside from Week one. So

134
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 3: it begs the question, is this the biggest Week one ever?

135
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,799
Speaker 1: What would you say to that? I would say yes,

136
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: because we're always getting bigger and better every year in

137
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: college football, so next year they'll probably be a bigger

138
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: and better Week one. Although to be fair, I don't

139
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: know what the schedule is Week one next year. Maybe

140
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: it's more of a Week zero soft launch. But there

141
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: are some really unique situations in that Texas Ohio State game,

142
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: especially now. And to be fair, I haven't checked it

143
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: this morning because I had to get up and walk Jackpot,

144
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: and I did not check the numbers before we hopped

145
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: on the show. I should have done that. But it

146
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: does look like Texas is still a slight underdog, although

147
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: not really much anymore. It's kind of nobody really knows

148
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: who's going to close the favorite in this Texas Ohio

149
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: State game. I'm seeing some pickums. I'm seeing some ones.

150
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: It looks like BETTMGM still hanging a minus one on

151
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: Ohio State, but it's you know, you're laying a dollar

152
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: and two cents, so it's like barely minus one. If

153
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: Texas does close the underdog, and who knows, there's three

154
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: hours and maybe you get a big bet. On Ohio State

155
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: between now and then. If Texas does close the underdog,

156
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: I think it'll be the first time ever in Week

157
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: one that a number one team would be an underdog

158
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: in the eight people, which is really unique. We've seen

159
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: number one teams be underdogs before. I believe the twenty

160
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: nineteen l YOU team against Bama. Before you know, they

161
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: won that game against Bama and Joe Burrow really ascended

162
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: to the Heisman status, but people were still doubting LSU

163
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: up until that game against Bama. That was the last

164
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: time we saw a number one team as just an underdog, period.

165
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: But in Week one usually you get a cupcake, So

166
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: the number one team is usually never a dog. But

167
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: this is the schedule this year. This is what we get.

168
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: It's a fantastic game. It's a rematch of the Cotton

169
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: Bowl last year, if you forget that was I think

170
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: that game was played a little bit more slanted towards

171
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: Ohio State than this one will be today. I think

172
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: this game is very balanced, especially in the trenches. Texas

173
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: has a little bit more experience, I think, but Ohio

174
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: State very talented, and so you just don't know how

175
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: that talent's going to play. When they finally get their chance.

176
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: A lot of newcomers on Ohio State that have been

177
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: on the roster for a year or two, but they've

178
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: been sitting behind NFL studs, so they just haven't had

179
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: their chance to play. Whereas Texas does have a little

180
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 1: bit more experience. They also have both their coordinators back,

181
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: whereas Ohio State does. And I think that's the big,

182
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: the big part of that game that we're gonna harp

183
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 1: on today. I'm gonna go not the biggest Week one ever,

184
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: you know.

185
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 3: And here's the thing, Like it seems like we're excited

186
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 3: for real football to be back. Yeah, I don't count

187
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 3: week zero. It's soft launch, you know, soft launch. This

188
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 3: is the mega. This is the big heaping portion of

189
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 3: football being back in Week one of college football. But

190
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 3: I don't the end. We're having a party here, but

191
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 3: he's excited, like, whoa, let's go tailgating keg stands everyone all.

192
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: Round, you know, we're all doing them.

193
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 3: And I'm the one guy like, let's let's keep the

194
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 3: noise to a minimum here. You know, I don't mean

195
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 3: to be that guy, but I don't think this is

196
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 3: the biggest Week one ever, just because of the way

197
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 3: the postseason format is. We got a twelve team format now, right, Like,

198
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 3: you have a lot more margin for error. And I

199
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 3: think of it like this, even though these are three

200
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 3: great games, great matchups, top ten matchups never happened in

201
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 3: Week one before. If all the three teams that lose

202
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 3: these top ten games, they all three could still make

203
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 3: the playoffs. Yeah, hey, it wouldn't be a shock if

204
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 3: that's what ends up happening. So just based on that,

205
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 3: I would say not the biggest Week one ever, because

206
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 3: it's fair.

207
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 1: The format has changed so much.

208
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 3: If we're in like the old school BCS or the

209
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 3: like fourteen playoff, Oh my gosh, this is a mega thing. Yeah,

210
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 3: but you know, twelve team playoff, there's more margin for

211
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 3: error with that.

212
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: That's a good point. It really is a good point.

213
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: I think what it speaks to is the changing landscape

214
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 1: of college football and just where we are right now

215
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: in the sport. And I'll be honest, I know there's

216
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: a lot of expansion talking this and that. I try

217
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: not to get too high or too low on that stuff.

218
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: I just try to react to what happens. But that

219
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: is a really good point because I do think, like,

220
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: let's say, Ohio State loses by thirty today and Texas

221
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,599
Speaker 1: is just they're really upset about the Cotton Bowl and

222
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: they're the better team, and Arch's Arch and he's gonna

223
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: be the highst winner and blah blah blah blah blah.

224
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: Ohio State could rip off eleven straight wins and then

225
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: beat Texas in the playoff. It's like nobody will remember

226
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: what happened in Week one. Nobody will care. It's kind

227
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: of funny. And this is the follow up that I

228
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: have to this. Of the six coaches today that are

229
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: in these top tier games, I think there is one

230
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 1: coach specifically where this game matters a lot to and

231
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: I think it's Brian Kelly. Is that fair to say, like,

232
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: of the six coaches today, the one that needs the

233
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: win the most is Brian Kelly. Is that a fair absolutely?

234
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 3: Because he's dropped so many openers at LSU.

235
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: That's his brand.

236
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 3: His brand is basically banging the tables like it's happening again,

237
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 3: you know, like last year. So yeah, he's he's kind

238
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 3: of like a walking punchline right now in terms of

239
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 3: what he does the first game of the season and

240
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 3: what he's done so far at LSU, and I think

241
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 3: that what makes it even like a louder narrative is

242
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 3: what Notre Dame has done right with Marcus Freeman. They

243
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 3: just in the title game. The program has ascended under

244
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 3: Marcus Freeman compared to Brian Kelly, and Brian Kelly has

245
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 3: a lot to do with the Irish being like one

246
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 3: of the top teams being back to prominence. But listen,

247
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 3: Marcus Freeman already has surpassed what Brian Kelly did at

248
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 3: Notre Dame. So I think that makes the noise even

249
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 3: louder of what he's not accomplishing at LSU so far.

250
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: So it's five straight season openers twenty twenty against Mississippi State,

251
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one against UCLA, then back to back years

252
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 1: against Florida State. Not to be fair, that was a

253
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: very good Florida State team in twenty three, and then

254
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four against USC That was last year's game.

255
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: Where was it? Miller Moss right, he just went absolutely

256
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: bananas in that game. And LSU is favored in that game. See,

257
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: that's the difference between today and last year. LSU is

258
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: not the favorite today Clemson, and I'll be honest, you know,

259
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: we've we've kind of, I don't want to say Clemson

260
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: has been an afterthought because they were in the playoff

261
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: last year and they, you know, very good program over

262
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: the last decade. You know, they're not at the Trevor

263
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: Lawrence DeShawn Watson level, but they're still a very competent program.

264
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: But this Clemson team, people are already crowning them the

265
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: ACC champs, and it's fair. They have the best roster

266
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: in the conference. I think they have the best quarterback.

267
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: We'll see how Carson Beck looks against Notre Dame on Monday,

268
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: but excuse me that Monday or Sunday. The Notre Dame

269
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 1: game tomorrow again Tomorrow, Sunday, Sunday. But I do think

270
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: it is fair to, you know, question a little bit

271
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 1: of just how good Clemson is, because from what I've

272
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 1: been told and from what I'm hearing this summer, they

273
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: are the best things in slice bread and their roster

274
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 1: is very good, it is very talented. But they're facing

275
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 1: an SEC team today who also has a very good

276
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: and very talented roster, and the number is starting to

277
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: get a little bit stretched.

278
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 4: Right.

279
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: We talk about this all the time. We think Clemson's

280
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: really good, but so does everyone else. So everyone else

281
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: is betting them, So does that make them a good

282
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: water today? I think the answer to that question is no.

283
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 3: He might be right by the way real fast. So

284
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 3: I were thinking about these top ten matchups. Think of

285
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 3: these six schools just as a brand. Put what's gonna

286
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 3: happen today in this season to the side. Ohio State, Texas, Clemson, LSU, Miami,

287
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 3: Notre Dame. All six of these teams are big brands

288
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 3: in college football? What would your top three be today?

289
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 3: Like the biggest brands in college football? Of those six teams,

290
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 3: how would you rank them?

291
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: Texas one, I think just because of a who is

292
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: the name of the quarterback is a brand name as well,

293
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: So they not only have a brand name of Texas,

294
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: which is a brand name in itself, but the quarterback

295
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: is a brand name. So I think they get the

296
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: double the double brand boost. If that is a thing,

297
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: I just made it up right now, so deal with it.

298
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 3: Sounds like, you know, like BETMGM a double boost.

299
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: Yeah you know, hey, listen, I got a parlay token boost.

300
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: But I'm ready to fire at the platter in about

301
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: forty minutes here, So you guys be better be ready.

302
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: I guess Ohio State next, but Notre Dame probably right there.

303
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: I think those are my top three. Texas, Notre Dame,

304
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: Ohio State. I think Texas is won. I think you

305
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: can probably split about Notre Dame in Ohio State.

306
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, it's uh, those would be the top three.

307
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: I don't know the correct order.

308
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 3: Agreed, agreed, because those are man, all three of those

309
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 3: are strong brands.

310
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: Dude, Sumpson's not there. I'm sorry, They're just not. It's

311
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: it's an ACC school. I don't think that they have

312
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: the national recognition like an Ohio State or Notre Dame

313
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: or Texas does. And Miami once conversation.

314
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 3: Miami was once there, and they're they're back in the

315
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 3: top ten, but you know they haven't won the ACC yet.

316
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: How does that happen? Yeah, I'm not I'm not on

317
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: the crystal ball bandwagon either. We've discussed his shortcomings before

318
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: Layton games. Remember the Georgia Tech disaster last year. That's why,

319
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: and and that's another great example of where the betting

320
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: markets and my feelings on certain teams can be very conflicted.

321
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: Notre Dame and Miami is a fantastic football game, very

322
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: evenly matched teams. Miami is fantastic on the offensive line.

323
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: Notre Dame is replacing their defensive co ordinator. I think

324
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: Miami could shove it right down Notre Dame's throats in

325
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: that game. But I don't know if I trust Mario

326
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: crystal Ball late in the game to do the right thing.

327
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: And now here why I'm struggling to get to the

328
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: window on Miami. Well, I hope.

329
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 3: I hope everything that you said right there plays out

330
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 3: again tomorrow night.

331
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,960

388
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 3: Man Jared, We're all about college football today, but for

389
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 3: a minute, we gotta dip a foot at least into

390
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 3: the micapark person's waters over here. No longer a Dallas

391
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 3: cowboy blockbuster trade going to the Green Bay Packers, and

392
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 3: you know we're talking. The trade was for Kenny Clark,

393
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 3: defensive lineman who's a good player, and two first round

394
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 3: draft picks. And listen, we'll get into all the nuts

395
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 3: and bolts of this thing. But this is the first

396
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 3: thing that it made me think of, was I thought

397
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 3: of Jaden Daniels, the Washington Commander's quarterback.

398
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: For a second.

399
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 3: Follow me on this, because the big story with Jaden

400
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 3: this offseason has been that he's self scouting, right. He's

401
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 3: looking at his footwork, he's looking at things that he

402
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 3: can do better. He's watching film of himself trying to

403
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 3: tweak things like fine tune his game, and that's important.

404
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 3: Sometimes you get so laser focused on your opponent that

405
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 3: you forgot forget to self scout. If you look at

406
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 3: the Packers, how often have we looked at them being

407
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 3: conservative to a fault right where they didn't draft a

408
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 3: first round wide receiver in forever. They're like, oh, we

409
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 3: got to look at other needs. We gotta address other

410
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 3: things free agency, They're just like, it's kind of risky.

411
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 3: Let's take a hands off approach, no blockbuster trades, like

412
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,959
Speaker 3: really planning for the future, ensuring carefully.

413
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: We got to think about three years from now.

414
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 3: And you can't tell me it's a coincidence that the

415
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 3: Packers in the same offseason drafted a first round wide

416
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 3: receiver and also made a blockbuster trade for Micah Parsons.

417
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 3: That's an organization looking at themselves saying, what can we

418
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 3: do differently to be in a better position to make

419
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 3: huge noise come playoff time. And they drafted Matthew Golden

420
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 3: out of Texas. They love this guy so far rave

421
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 3: reviews and getting Micah Parsons. That is an about faced.

422
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 3: That is a complete culture shift, and I think a

423
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 3: lot of it is because of the Packers scouting themselves

424
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,959
Speaker 3: and seeing what they could do better and what they

425
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 3: might have been doing wrong in the past.

426
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: I agree, and I'd like the record to state that

427
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: I gave out Packers to win the NFC North in

428
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: that parlay Platter Divisional edition nice multiple weeks ago. Wait

429
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: before I mean we it was profed. I mean that's

430
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 1: why you tune into the show we've been doing the show.

431
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: By the way, this is our fourth football season doing

432
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: the show. Time flies when you're having fun. But the

433
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 1: reason you tune in is for gems like that. I mean,

434
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: you're sitting on A and the other three legs of

435
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: that parlay. Watch it'll be it'll be like the Bills

436
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: will not win the AFC A like, right, and now

437
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: all the other three I'll hit. But no, the Packers

438
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: was the one long shot.

439
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:32,959
Speaker 4: Right.

440
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 1: We had the three favorites. We had the Bills, the Ravens,

441
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs, which I think all three of those

442
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: teams obviously in very good position to win the division.

443
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 1: And then the one, you know, boost to the odds

444
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: was Packers plus two seventy five to win the North.

445
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 1: That number is long gone. They are the favorite now.

446
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 1: They deserve to be the favorite. Kudos to Green Bay.

447
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: Kudos to I always get his name wrong, gutenus stuten Heist.

448
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: Yeah gee, I I go, goody, yeah, goody, there you go.

449
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: It's the c professional bride. No, always make it easier

450
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: for me there, but yes, very aggressive and I think

451
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,199
Speaker 1: the windows open. I think they see it because they

452
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: dealt their next two first round picks. So the window

453
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: better be open right now, because if it's not, it'll

454
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: close very quickly when you don't have first round picks

455
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 1: in the NFL. But the other side of this coin

456
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: is obviously the bigger discussion, the amount of hubris for

457
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones to trade away his best player and then

458
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,360
Speaker 1: to go hold a press conference hours later and say

459
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 1: we got better. I mean that just it flies in

460
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: the phase. And to be fair to Jerry, he has

461
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: been doing this a very long time and he does

462
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: enjoy the spotlight. So I don't fully know if this

463
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: is entertainment, like if he thinks it's like WWE and

464
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: we're going to script this thing to end in his favor.

465
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: But it was a very very interesting decision because to me,

466
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: I've never run a team before, so I'm speaking at

467
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: this from Monday morning quarterback armchair quarterback type vibes. But

468
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: if there is one or two positions really that I

469
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: am willing to break the bank for, there's one on

470
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball, and I think you know

471
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: where I'm going here. It's quarterback and rushing the quarterback.

472
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: Those are the two most important positions in football, and

473
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 1: I am willing to spend more because if I drafted

474
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: a player and I groomed that player to be my

475
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: star on that side of the ball at that position,

476
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: I think it is important for team chemistry, alignment, all

477
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: of those things to keep that player on my team

478
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 1: and to keep the train moving forward. Maybe Jerry thinks, well,

479
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: we haven't won with him and we're not really getting

480
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: anywhere with these negotiations. I wasn't there. I know he

481
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: claims he made the offer. I mean, I don't really

482
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: know what went all behind the scenes, as he said,

483
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: he said, but they don't like how it went down,

484
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: and they said, all right, you're gone, and they dealt him.

485
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: I just thought it was weird they dealt him to

486
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,719
Speaker 1: a contender, Brian, because those draft picks are getting back.

487
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 1: They might be the thirtieth and thirty first picks in

488
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: the first round over the next two years, and I

489
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 1: don't know how much that really helps you long term. Yeah, totally.

490
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 3: That's the thing is this is like, you know, he's

491
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 3: standing in front of a used car and you can

492
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 3: tell the muffler's falling off. You know that it's it's

493
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 3: smoking from the hood, and he's like, there's a dad

494
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 3: gum good car right here. You know, and you're like, Jerry, no,

495
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 3: it isn't right, Like I totally agree with you, or

496
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 3: how can you sit up there and be like we're

497
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 3: better now, We're absolutely better right now?

498
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: No you're not.

499
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 3: You're not better. And you said it very well. Where

500
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 3: what are the Packers These draft picks are going to

501
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 3: be in the twenties probably best case scenario, right.

502
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: They might be the number one seed in the NFC

503
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 1: and in the Super Bowl and it might be the

504
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: thirty first pick.

505
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 3: Man, I know, it's crazy to think about that. And

506
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 3: that's the other thing that came up quite a bit

507
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 3: is and Jerry said this in his press conference immediately

508
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 3: after the trade, where he'll mention the herschel Walker trade.

509
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, very I look that up. Very different circumstances,

510
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: incredibly different on like seven first round pitt Now it

511
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: was like three first and three seconds. Yeah, you're right,

512
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: that's okay.

513
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 3: So the herschel Walker trade, you know, nineteen eighty nine in.

514
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: The season, so just the draft picks.

515
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 3: Forget about the players that the players weren't the big

516
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 3: part of this, but the draft picks nineteen ninety first, second,

517
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 3: sixth round picks ninety one first and second round picks

518
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 3: ninety two, first, second and third round picks.

519
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: Insane.

520
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 3: This is not the herschel Walker trade at all. I'll

521
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 3: see that written or said from time to time. To

522
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 3: do this not even remotely close to herschel Walker two

523
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 3: point zero back then.

524
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: You can't compare anything that happened in nineteen ninety to now.

525
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: That's crazy.

526
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're just the Cowboys are not getting that type

527
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 3: of return on a star player. And it's just it's

528
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 3: a complete joke. It turned out the way that it did.

529
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 3: But and you said it well too. It's not like

530
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 3: they dealt him to the Bills or some AFC team.

531
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 3: They dealt him to the Packers. If you have like

532
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 3: realistic visions of doing damage in the playoffs and you're

533
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 3: the Cowboys, Michael Parsons and the Packers could be in

534
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 3: your way time and time and time again, and they

535
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 3: still dealt him there crazy, I don't know, man. It's

536
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 3: the same thing with Jerry Jones. Well, he'll say that

537
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 3: he wants to win a Super Bowl, and then he

538
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 3: does all these things to get in the way of

539
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 3: winning a Super Bowl. And he's even openly talked about Hey,

540
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 3: if it's if it's a little dull, right now, I'll

541
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 3: stir it up. You know, we're a story. Oh he

542
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 3: stirred it up all right.

543
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 1: I would say, you know, when you use one of

544
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 1: those like electric mixers and it kind of goes on

545
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: the fritz and the and the batter starts flying everywhere.

546
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: I think that's how he started up.

547
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 3: But that's the thing is he can stir it up

548
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 3: all he wants. And there's a reason why it's the

549
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 3: biggest brand in sports, the most valuable franchise in the

550
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 3: NFL and all that.

551
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: But if you're a fan, what do you want?

552
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 3: Forget about being a Cowboys fan, any fan, what do

553
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 3: you want? Do you want your team to be a

554
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 3: story three hundred and sixty five days a year, or

555
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 3: do you want to win?

556
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:51,479
Speaker 1: You want to win big?

557
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 3: And he does all this stuff to be a story

558
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 3: every day of the year, and most fans just don't

559
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 3: care about that. They want to win. They'd rather win

560
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 3: than be a story.

561
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: You play to win the game. That's it. One of

562
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: my favorite quotes of all time from Herm Edwards as

563
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: a Jets fan. I miss those days. Maybe we'll get

564
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: some viral quotes from Aaron Glenn this year that kind

565
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: of mirror that I just at this point in the process,

566
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 1: I think it is very fair to question all of

567
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: the decisions, and you should be skeptical about your team

568
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 1: if you were a fan. And I know I had

569
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: some people in the comments this week when I was

570
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,360
Speaker 1: making fun of Jerry kind of pushed back with, hey,

571
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: he's run a successful business and you know this is

572
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 1: the long term future, and blah blah blah blah blah.

573
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: I get that. I'm not debating that maybe you end

574
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 1: up getting two Micah Parsons for the price of one, right, Like,

575
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: maybe these two draft picks you're gonna make are gonna

576
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: be so good that they're gonna knock your socks off

577
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: for the next five years. And then I'm sure if

578
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 1: one of them is Micah Parsons, I'm sure five years

579
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: from now we will be having the exact same conversation

580
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: about why aren't we paying this draft pick who was

581
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: part of the Michael Parsons trade because he is going

582
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: to go off and get traded and create some kind

583
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: of drama elsewhere. But it is very fair to be

584
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 1: skeptical about the football decisions he has made. I am

585
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: not questioning his business acumen, right, I am not questioning

586
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 1: his acting, Chops. You go watch the cameo that he

587
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: did in Land. Man, I think Jerry's in the wrong business.

588
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: He's a fantastic actor, narrator, orator, storyteller, all of those things.

589
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: He's like the don King of the NFL. But that

590
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: doesn't win you super Bowls. It's been a minute, Dallas.

591
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: What would you rather have? Would you rather have you know,

592
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: Bailey and Barnum circus or would you rather have Brady

593
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: and Belichick winning super Bowls? I mean to me, and

594
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: I know that that's obviously a far cry, but they

595
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: are very, very distant from any kind of football success,

596
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: and that, to me is the most important thing.

597
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 3: It's just a weird like reply if you're just like,

598
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 3: what is Jerry doing? Why didn't he pay Micah Parsons?

599
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 3: Why is he trading him to the to the packers?

600
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 3: All these like whys, And someone's like, I mean, look

601
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 3: at him as a businessman, though, it's just a weird reply,

602
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 3: Like nobody's disputing that. But we're talking about his silliness

603
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 3: and calamity, calamity decisions like getting in the way of football.

604
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 3: It'd be like it'd be like your girlfriend cheating on you,

605
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 3: and then someone's like, yeah, look at her smile.

606
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: And you're like, what a great meal? What do you

607
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: mean look at her smile?

608
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 2: Man?

609
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: Just cooking for someone else.

610
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I mean with Jerry, where you're like,

611
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 3: what is he doing with this whole MICHAEH. Parsons thing

612
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 3: And someone replies like, yeah, but look at him as

613
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 3: a businessman. Though of course that goes without being said.

614
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 3: But why would you bring it up now? It doesn't

615
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 3: fit to this discussion at all, Right, Like we're talking

616
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 3: about football here, not business.

617
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: M Yeah, football and business are two very different things.

618
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: So now the business of football to me is being

619
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: able to surround yourself with people who are very smart.

620
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: Jerry's done this for years where he's kind of low

621
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: balled his brain trust, right, even Parcels, you know, had

622
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: issues with it. And you look at the coaching tree

623
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,479
Speaker 1: that Dallas has kind of put forth since Jimmy Johnson,

624
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: and it's been kind of a Hodgepodge. I mean some

625
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: of the names like Dave Campo, like just random random

626
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: guys that you would think someone who is as well

627
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: off as Jerry would spend more to insulate himself from

628
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: going stale, like that's the one thing. And as a

629
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: Yankees fan with Steinbrenner over the years, he got a

630
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: lot of crap for a lot of things, but he

631
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: always put really smart people around him. Gene Michaels was

632
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: the one who really changed the course of that franchise,

633
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: was the one who brought in Jeter and you know

634
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: kind of was the scouting head of all of that,

635
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: you know, rebirth. It's about putting smart people around you.

636
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: I do this in gambling all the time. Do you

637
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: think every single slice of information I give you on

638
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: this show, I was digging for research. No, I get

639
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: handed things. I know where to look for the information.

640
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: I have people that I trust who give me things

641
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: and then I'd bring them to you. I'm the buffer, right,

642
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: I'm the osmosis. It has to get through me before

643
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: it gets to you. But I am the one discerning

644
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: where the information comes from. Jerry, you don't have to

645
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: buy the groceries, cook the meal yourself, and then serve

646
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: it to the you know, the the betting or the

647
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: football public. Like you can get other people to do

648
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: these things for you. And I think he needs to

649
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: maybe lean back on the football decision making, a little

650
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: bit lean into the business side more.

651
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 3: That's the funny. I'll say this real quick. We'll get

652
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,959
Speaker 3: to college football in a second. But it reminds me

653
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 3: of when the Cowboys passed on Johnny Manziel. This is

654
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 3: over a decade ago, and we thought, wow, Jerry's got

655
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 3: football people around him. This is not a Jerry Jones move.

656
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 3: This is more like a Stephen Jones move. This is

657
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 3: more of you know, the people around Jerry talking sense

658
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 3: in to Jerry, and like draft Zach Martin, he's a

659
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 3: stud offensive lineman, pass on the the flashy Johnny Manziel

660
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 3: who's not gonna pan out. And it seemed like, okay,

661
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 3: Jerry's doing exactly what you explained right there, and for

662
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 3: one draft pick he did, and then it went right

663
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 3: back to Jerry. I got this, I got that, Yeah,

664
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 3: what I got right cause it seemed like we would

665
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 3: be in a different spot right now based on that

666
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 3: Manzell draft and what twenty fourteen, and Jerry went right

667
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 3: back to be fair.

668
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: A lot of times, a lot of decisions have been

669
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: made between now and twenty fourteen. Maybe who knows, maybe

670
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: he was upset, Maybe he has remorse that he didn't

671
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: get the Johnny football experience in Dallas.

672
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, right, who knows what? Who knows what's in

673
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 3: Jerry's head right now. But let's get back to college

674
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 3: football briefly, and uh, well, we've got the parlay platter

675
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 3: coming up next, and we'll dive deeper. I mean, Jared's

676
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 3: ready to talk interior offensive lineman and all top ten matchups.

677
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 3: You've got Ohio State quarterback Julie Insane and Notre Dame

678
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 3: quarterback CJ.

679
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: Carr.

680
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 3: They're both making their first college starts this weekend. What

681
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 3: do you expect from both? Who do you think will

682
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 3: have to do more? Is it gonna be Ohio State's

683
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 3: QB or Notre Dames QB and their respective matchups year.

684
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: It's a great question. This is a really good question,

685
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: so I think, and maybe we'll get into this more

686
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: and prop it up. I think saying has a really

687
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: tough task because what Texas does really well and they

688
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: did this really well in the playoff game last year.

689
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: How about that?

690
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 3: Right?

691
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: Ohio State won a playoff game where their best player

692
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: had one catch for three yards. Unbelievable, incredible, And to

693
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: be fair, Carnel Tate had a really good game, and

694
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: it does seem like whenever defense is focused very strongly

695
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: on Smith, there is opportunities. That's why Buka led the

696
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: team in receiving last year, like Jeremi Smith, fantastic player,

697
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: didn't even lead his own team in receiving last year.

698
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: But what Texas does really well is they're able to

699
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: stop the run with their base front and they don't

700
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: have to extra bodies in the box because they are

701
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: very good in their front seven. That means they Texas

702
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: can kind of drop back into his own coverage and

703
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,919
Speaker 1: kind of play a shell, which makes passing the ball

704
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 1: very difficult. You have to not only dissect his own

705
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: but then you have to be able to figure out

706
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 1: a way to get explosive plays because right now, the

707
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 1: difference in college football is can you stretch the field

708
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: vertically or are you dink and dunk? Because if you're

709
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: dnk and dunk and you got to go eight, ten,

710
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,839
Speaker 1: twelve plays to get down the field, odds are one

711
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: of these kids is gonna mess up in that span

712
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: and you're going to be backed up penalty. You know,

713
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: negative play whatever Julian saying, has a very tough task

714
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 1: having to dissect that Texas defense. I think Miami's defense

715
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: is more gettable, so maybe they ask Car to do more.

716
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 1: But I do think Ohio State has more weapons. So

717
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: saying has a little more arsenal, a little more firepowered

718
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,720
Speaker 1: as disposal. I think that's a long way of saying CJ.

719
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: Carr probably will have an easier time managing the Miami defense,

720
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 1: but it is very fair to question the weapons around them.

721
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: I think Notre Dame actually did get better though at

722
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,919
Speaker 1: the receiver position in this a season. I think that's

723
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: why Carr probably has the better game statistically.

724
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, Like you know, they they upgraded and

725
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 3: they brought back some of their guys that had success

726
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 3: down the stretch. You know, you still have Jaden Greathhouse,

727
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 3: who is amazing down the stretch. You picked up Malachi

728
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 3: Fields at wide receivers, so you do have some playmaker.

729
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 3: Jeremiah Love is fantastic to stud running back. So you

730
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 3: have talent around CJ. Carr, But you don't have Jeremiah Smith,

731
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 3: you know, you don't have that. Even Cartnel Tait is

732
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 3: a really talented receiver. So a lot of talent around.

733
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 3: Julian saying, I just think what's really interesting Jared is

734
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 3: you know, Ohio State. Julian Sayan's first start is at

735
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 3: home at the Horseshoe, and CJ. Carr's first start is

736
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 3: on the road at the you you know. And you

737
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 3: might think immediately like, well, you'd rather be at home,

738
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 3: and that might be the answer, but it can shift

739
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 3: pretty quickly.

740
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: Think about this.

741
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 3: These are the defending national champions. And if there are

742
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 3: a couple of bad series, maybe Julie and say in

743
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 3: sales a throw all of a sudden Ohio State's losing.

744
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 3: It doesn't take long for you to feel the crowd

745
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 3: is like, what's happening right, what's going on?

746
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 1: What are we trailing?

747
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 3: Sometimes being on the road in a first start like

748
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 3: that can actually be a better environment, Believe.

749
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 7: It or not.

750
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 1: I like that handicap a lot. Now. I think they'll

751
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: give Julian. You would hope, I mean, you know how

752
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: college kids can be. You would hope they would give

753
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 1: Julian at least one start against arguably the best defense

754
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: in college football to figure out how to be a

755
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: starting quarterback in the sport. But right, it's not the NFL,

756
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: which stands for not for long, but it's pretty darn close.

757
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's Jared Smith FSR betting analyst. I'm Brian, not

785
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:08,720
Speaker 2: Check this out our late letter.

786
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 3: All right, we each have one selection. We pull it

787
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 3: together for a greater payout. Our main man, Rich Ornberger,

788
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,280
Speaker 3: who's a com rexis scene, is just behaving badly.

789
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: What's going on?

790
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 3: He's on the phone here for the end of the

791
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 3: hour with Parlay Pletter. What's your selection?

792
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: Rich?

793
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 3: Good morning to you, buddy.

794
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 8: Good morning.

795
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

796
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 8: Every once in a while, sometimes you're the hammer. Sometimes

797
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 8: you're the nail, and I'm getting nailed by technology. So

798
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 8: hopefully we nail this, Parlay. All right, give me Texas

799
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 8: on the money line. There's so many reasons for it.

800
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 8: I think, first and foremost, revenge is a disser cold.

801
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 8: They want to make up for a hard loss and

802
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 8: a hard end to their season lambs here at the

803
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 8: hands of their opponent today, Ohio State. And then you

804
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 8: just think about the coaching continuity with Sartigians been able

805
00:38:56,600 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 8: to do there. And then defensively, everybody's talking about art

806
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 8: manning the high upside, the Heidsman potential, but defentiically nobody

807
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 8: talks about Texas, which is one of the top units

808
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 8: presumably in the FBF. So give me Texas on the money.

809
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 3: Line, right, very nice, We love it.

810
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 1: So here's what we're gonna do. We were colluding and

811
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: collaborating on this behind the scenes. I also like a

812
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: pick in this Texas game, so does Brian. So not

813
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 1: only is this a parlay platter, this is a same

814
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 1: game parlay platter. And you know, I'm gonna pass the

815
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: baton to you here because I think our handicaps are

816
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: gonna be very similar. But I'm gonna give you the

817
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,240
Speaker 1: under in the first quarter under ten and a half

818
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: because I think this game is gonna start slow. You're

819
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,359
Speaker 1: gonna have a lot of juices flowing between these two

820
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 1: new starting quarterbacks. Texas loves to stop the run and

821
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: drop back and zone. They're not gonna give up the

822
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: explosive play, and I think we are going to see

823
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,720
Speaker 1: a slower start to this game. So we got Texas

824
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 1: on the money line under ten and a half in

825
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: the first quarter. Bo I'm giving you the baton to

826
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: take us home, my friend.

827
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much the same line of thinking. I'm going

828
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 3: with Texas, Ohio State under forty seven and a half.

829
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:09,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get the hook there.

830
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 3: You know, you can just go to totals and look

831
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 3: at all the different prices of all the different numbers,

832
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 3: and I do like it's dropped to forty seven. I

833
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 3: do like the hook in a platter, you know, a

834
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 3: parlay over here. So I'll take the forty seven and

835
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 3: a half. It's at minus a dollar twenty five. Not

836
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 3: crazy juice right there, but sometimes that can come in handy.

837
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 1: So I'll take you under a lot of.

838
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,919
Speaker 3: The same reasoning, Jared, You're not gonna see I don't

839
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 3: think Texas give up just explosive plays left and right.

840
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be a couple of quarters are

841
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 3: going to be grinds, you know. I don't think we're

842
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 3: gonna have high scoring quarters consistently. And yeah, it's a

843
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,919
Speaker 3: little bit like the NFL. Right, you see those two

844
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 3: deep shells keep everything in front of you.

845
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,240
Speaker 1: That's Texas did an amazing job.

846
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 3: In the playoff game. Doing that against Jeremiah Smith. You know,

847
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,839
Speaker 3: like Jared mentioned, one catch for three yards, if they're

848
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 3: able to hold jeer Maya Smith and check Julian Sayan's

849
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:05,800
Speaker 3: first start.

850
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:09,240
Speaker 1: Where are the explosive plays? Where are the easy scores?

851
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 3: They might not be there at all, let alone to

852
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 3: the tune of repeatedly. So, I like the under in

853
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 3: this game Texas Ohio State under forty seven and a

854
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 3: half plus three hundred for.

855
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 1: The same game parlay Texas the first quarter under and

856
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 1: the under and.

857
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 3: A great movie, right, Gerard Butler shoutout? I think that

858
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 3: helps our chances. Oh what's going on? Happy Saturday to you?

859
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 3: Is we get you all set up for a mammoth

860
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 3: college football menu today, three top ten matchups.

861
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:40,359
Speaker 1: That is a beautiful thing.

862
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,399
Speaker 3: All fired up for this, I'll tell you something, I'm

863
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 3: not fired up for a jeered I just got an

864
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:49,280
Speaker 3: email here in Vegas the Golden Gate Casino. They're saying

865
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 3: goodbye to dancing dealers.

866
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 1: Oh. I don't even know what that is.

867
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,320
Speaker 3: The girls like dance around and deal. They have dancers

868
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 3: all over it, you know, tastefully done. They're not stripping,

869
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 3: they're just dancing.

870
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: But that's unfortunate.

871
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 3: No more dancing dealers over there having a whole goodbye

872
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 3: event on September seventh.

873
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 1: What's up with that? I don't know. I mean, listen,

874
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot of changes these days going on here

875
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 1: in the Vegas world. I saw our pal Bell Krackenberger

876
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: was down on the strip, I believe, somewhere in the

877
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 1: middle of the strip yesterday, posted a picture of his

878
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 1: receipt of his launch or dinner whatever he was eating,

879
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: and it was very overpriced compared to what I think

880
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: we expect to pay. So Vegas isn't an interesting spot

881
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 1: right now with some of the entertainment going on in town. Wow. Interesting.

882
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 3: I thought it was going to be like a sports

883
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 3: betting receipt.

884
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: No, No, he's got plenty of those. We'll have a

885
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,359
Speaker 1: lot of those over the next couple of days. For sure.

886
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 1: You'll be in with us tomorrow. I can't wait. It's

887
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: gonna be very nice.

888
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:49,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jeff Schwartz is over there with his beloved Oregon Ducks.

889
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 3: So Jeff will be out tomorrow and Jared will be in.

890
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 3: We'll fill in Week one college football. We'll have a

891
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 3: lot of fun tomorrow morning.

892
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll be a seamless transition. There you go.

893
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 3: Absolutely, you gotta bone up on WNBA Jeff and I No.

894
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: I abstains. That's your that's your moo. I don't want

895
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:10,720
Speaker 1: to infringe on your territory. Brian. That's fair, fair enough.

896
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: How about this.

897
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:15,800
Speaker 3: We got LSU against Clemson, number nine, LSU against number

898
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 3: four Clemson. I love one of the storylines of this game.

899
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 3: So LSU safety Aj Holsey he will not play in

900
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,879
Speaker 3: the first half against Clemson. This goes all the way

901
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 3: back to the last game of last season.

902
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: He was ejected from the game.

903
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 3: Originally it was unsportsman like conduct, the officials clarified it

904
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 3: was for fighting, so fighting carries an automatic carryover penalty.

905
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,720
Speaker 3: Like He's one of the top safeties in college football,

906
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 3: is a key member of this LSU secondary. He's out

907
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:52,240
Speaker 3: for the first half here and there is no appeal

908
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 3: according to the nc DOUBLEA.

909
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 1: What do you say to.

910
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 3: This, Jared, I say this should stay within the season.

911
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 1: People would say it carries over.

912
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 3: Listen, you can't just have a free for all and

913
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 3: just start, you know, throwing haymakers and not serve any

914
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 3: penalty whatsoever.

915
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: What do you say to this?

916
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 3: No, Aj Holsey for the first half because of fighting

917
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 3: at the end of last season.

918
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a tough break. It's like a technicality in

919
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: the rule. It's like a ripple in the space time continuum,

920
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: like you do something in twenty twenty four in that

921
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: season and it affects your twenty twenty five campaign. I'm

922
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:32,399
Speaker 1: not really in favor of it, but I understand why

923
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 1: there has to be some kind of punishment. And you

924
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 1: can't suspend him for another game that season, and you

925
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,879
Speaker 1: can't really find him because that's not what they do

926
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 1: in college football, so you gotta do something like like

927
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: what I guess, and I agree. I think it's weird,

928
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 1: it's quirky. I don't like it, but I don't know

929
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 1: how else you punish him for it. Yeah, I think

930
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: this is it.

931
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 3: It seems entirely goofy, but I get it, I guess, right,

932
00:44:58,080 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 3: But this is where it is in college football. They

933
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,760
Speaker 3: you know, targeting is another thing where if this happens

934
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 3: in the second half of a game, well you're out

935
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:07,399
Speaker 3: for the first half of the next game, no matter

936
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 3: who that's against.

937
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, some of these punishments are pretty harsh.

938
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:15,240
Speaker 3: You lose the top safety for a whole half against

939
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 3: kid Klubnick and Clemson who can throw it all over

940
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 3: the place.

941
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 1: That's a big time penalty.

942
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,319
Speaker 3: But I'm with you, you know, immediately I'm like, this

943
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:26,280
Speaker 3: is weird. Isn't there a statutes of limitation or something

944
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:29,359
Speaker 3: going on here? But you got to do something, and

945
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 3: this is what they're choosing to do. So I get it,

946
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 3: even though I don't love it.

947
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't love it either, But here's what it does.

948
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,479
Speaker 1: It does set up a betting opportunity. You can bet

949
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:42,360
Speaker 1: Clemson right now minus two and a half in the

950
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,439
Speaker 1: first half, and I think that's a good number because

951
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 1: I'm seeing a lot of threes in the market. So

952
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 1: bet MGM is one of the better prices in market

953
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 1: right now for Clemson in the first half. Maybe not

954
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: fully pricing in this suspension. Now, the other thing you've

955
00:45:57,560 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: got to talk about here is the rest of the

956
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: secondary LSU is not very good. In fact, last year

957
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: it was one of the worst in the SEC. Brian

958
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 1: Kelly decided to tear it down start from scratch. Ashton Stamps.

959
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:14,320
Speaker 1: He's the only returning starter at corner. The other corners

960
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: Mansor Delaney. He's a transfer from Virginia Tech. He was

961
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 1: All ACC last year, so he has some upside, but

962
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 1: that was the ACC. This is now the SEC. The

963
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 1: irony is he's facing in it ACC team today. You

964
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 1: have a five star freshman DJ Pickett, You got Halsey

965
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: of course at safety, and then another ACC starter to

966
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 1: Marcus Cooley from NC State. It's going to be the

967
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 1: other safety spot for LSU. But this was a unit

968
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 1: last year that has some holes to fill. They have experience,

969
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 1: they have talent, but when you're a new secondary, you've

970
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:44,879
Speaker 1: got to come together in the preseason. So I could

971
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: certainly see some missed assignments, especially with Halsea out. And

972
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 1: then you mentioned the Clemson offense. All top three receivers

973
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 1: are back Williams Westco Moore. They combined for one hundred

974
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 1: and sixty one catches twenty two hundred yards twenty one

975
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns last year. This is an elite receiving group

976
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 1: for Clemson, absolutely elite. And you've got Kate Klubnick, who

977
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:08,319
Speaker 1: started slow came on strong late. The running back group

978
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 1: for Clemson is even more interesting because you lose MafA,

979
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 1: but they moved a receiver, Adam Randall from receiver to

980
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 1: running back Adam Randall is a fricking beast six two

981
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: two thirty five. So he's kind of like the next

982
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 1: film MafA, who was a battering ram. So if you

983
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:26,440
Speaker 1: gotta worry about Randal and commit some extra bodies to

984
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 1: the box, that will already make your secondary a little

985
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 1: bit thin, and then now you're dealing with the suspension.

986
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 1: It does feel like Clemson should have some success early

987
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 1: in this game.

988
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you mentioned the three wide receivers for Clemson.

989
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 3: Just looking at their props, all three of those guys

990
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:45,360
Speaker 3: are listed at at least fifty and a half receiving.

991
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 1: Yards, yeah, or more. That's rare.

992
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 3: You don't typically see that in college football. You'll see

993
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 3: maybe one, maybe two, Like for instance, Ohio State they

994
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 3: have one guy over fifty and a half receiving yards

995
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 3: against Texas, that's Jeremiah Smith Carnell Tates at forty seven

996
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 3: and a half. But Clemson against that LSU secondary that

997
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 3: you detailed so eloquently, I would like to say Jared Smith,

998
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 3: very well done by you. But Antonio Williams sixty one

999
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 3: and a half, Bryant Westco Fifty four and a half, TJ.

1000
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: Moore fifty and a half.

1001
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:16,320
Speaker 3: All three of those guys at least fifty and a

1002
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 3: half or more receiving yards. They're prop bets. So kid Klubnick,

1003
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 3: you know, healthy total for him. Also Garrett Nussmeyer the quarterbacks. Yeah,

1004
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 3: there these passing yards they're up there. Nus Meyer's at

1005
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:29,879
Speaker 3: two eighty three and a half, club Nick's at two

1006
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 3: sixty nine and a half.

1007
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 1: Wow.

1008
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 3: So I mean, listen, Vegas. You know, bet MGM, they're

1009
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 3: expecting some some offensive numbers here in this one.

1010
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll be honest, I am excited to watch Garrett

1011
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 1: Nusmeyer in this LSU offense this year. Maybe this is

1012
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: a tough spot for him because the Clemson secondary is

1013
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: elite and I'll get to them in a minute, but

1014
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:51,880
Speaker 1: nus Meyer very pass heavy last year with this LSU offense.

1015
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 1: I think they need more balance this year. I mean,

1016
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 1: he threw for over four thousand yards twenty onine touchdowns

1017
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:58,359
Speaker 1: last year. Like you might forget because he's coming off

1018
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 1: of a year where LSU had jade annuals and it's

1019
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 1: a tough act to follow. But Garrett Nussmer had a

1020
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 1: very good season in twenty twenty four. Now here's the issue.

1021
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 1: The volume was sky high. Forty pass attempts per game

1022
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 1: that was the second most in the country, but only

1023
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 1: forty fourth in yards per attempt. So he's throwing it

1024
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 1: a lot volume wise, but the output, the efficiency not

1025
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: quite there. I need more balance. This year they finished

1026
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 1: dead last in the SEC and rushing. They will need

1027
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,320
Speaker 1: to run the ball better. I think Cayden Durham he

1028
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 1: was the bright spot in the backfield. He had over

1029
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 1: seven hundred and fifty yards that was the third most

1030
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 1: among powerful freshmen. So I do think there is some

1031
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 1: talent back there. They brought in a couple of blue Chippers,

1032
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 1: a five star Harlan Barry. He was the number one

1033
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 1: rated running back in the class last year. JT. Lindsay

1034
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:44,280
Speaker 1: was seventh. So you've got Durham, Lindsay, and Barry, elite

1035
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:47,320
Speaker 1: running back group, and the receivers. I think, honestly, I

1036
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 1: think his LSU offense might be really good again. This

1037
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 1: is a tough spot for them Week one on the

1038
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:53,919
Speaker 1: road at Clemson. But Chris Hilton is back. He missed

1039
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,320
Speaker 1: all of last year with an injury. He's got some explosion.

1040
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 1: Aaron Anderson was their leading receiver. Very excited about him.

1041
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:02,320
Speaker 1: He looks like like absolute rock star. Then Nick Anderson

1042
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 1: comes in from Oklahoma. He missed all of last year

1043
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 1: with an injury, but in twenty twenty three average twenty

1044
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 1: one yards per reception. They also brought in Barry and

1045
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 1: Brown from Kentucky, holds the all time SEC record for

1046
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 1: kickoff for turn touchdown. So they've got speed, they've got explosion,

1047
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 1: they've got nuss Meyer who was a little bit more

1048
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 1: of a steady hand. This LSU offense should be really

1049
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:21,360
Speaker 1: good this year. Brian.

1050
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 3: Well, and you said something earlier that I want to

1051
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:28,600
Speaker 3: bring back because it should be repeated Brian Kelly. Of

1052
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:32,760
Speaker 3: these three top ten matchups, right, think about this three games,

1053
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 3: all top ten matchups. Brian Kelly needs it the most, yep,

1054
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 3: because he's become really just a walking punchline. He punched

1055
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:41,319
Speaker 3: the table last year.

1056
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:43,440
Speaker 1: It happened again. You know.

1057
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 3: That's basically as brand as I scare OREO havef to

1058
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 3: death the neighborhood cat. He's like, oh, what's taking a name?

1059
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 1: You scared jack and Jackpot woke up him.

1060
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, well he broked up there too for a second.

1061
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 3: But think about this where you got a couple of

1062
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 3: things colliding at once where we've got Brian Kelly, the

1063
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 3: slow starts with LSU. The last time they won an

1064
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:10,080
Speaker 3: opening game, Joe Burrow was the quarterback. Wow, isn't that crazy.

1065
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:14,399
Speaker 3: It's been a while since LSU has won their first

1066
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 3: game of the season. And you're on the road at

1067
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 3: Clemson and you've got your starting safety who's out for

1068
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 3: the first half. I think that's really important because you're

1069
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 3: trying to get off to a good start with this

1070
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,560
Speaker 3: first game of the season. Also, like the first quarter,

1071
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 3: the first half, like just get off to a good start,

1072
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 3: and you're facing an offense that's got a lot of

1073
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,760
Speaker 3: potential to be explosive, and you're down. You're starting safety

1074
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 3: because he was fighting in the last game of last season.

1075
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:43,800
Speaker 1: That's not great.

1076
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 3: With everything at play with Brian Kelly and the LSU

1077
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:49,359
Speaker 3: slow starts and all of that. So I think there's

1078
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 3: a lot that I just look at how this game

1079
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:55,400
Speaker 3: could start, and if Clemson starts off hot, they score

1080
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 3: once or twice, and all of a sudden, you're going

1081
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 3: uphill maybe the rest of the NIGHTSU that is not

1082
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 3: ideal for them as they're just trying to get on

1083
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:07,279
Speaker 3: track starting a season strongly because they haven't in a

1084
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 3: long time.

1085
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really tough. So I think the one benefit, right,

1086
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 1: if we want to play both sides, and I think

1087
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,720
Speaker 1: this is the most important thing. If you're betting on sports,

1088
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:18,280
Speaker 1: and if you're listening to this show, you're probably involved

1089
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 1: in that in some capacity. Don't just look at it

1090
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 1: from one side of the equation. That's why I love

1091
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 1: this show, because the three of us are very different

1092
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 1: with the way we approach not only handicapping games, but

1093
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 1: just the sport in general. The other side of this

1094
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 1: equation is they've known about this for months. They know

1095
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:37,360
Speaker 1: he's gonna miss this game, and they can plan accordingly.

1096
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 1: It's not like it just happened and he's injured mid

1097
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:40,960
Speaker 1: game and they've got to adjust their defense on the

1098
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,839
Speaker 1: fly and things are running haywire. They have had six

1099
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 1: months to plan for this, So how will they plan

1100
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 1: for this? Well, you would think maybe they play a

1101
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 1: little more conservatively defensively, right, kind of like what Texas

1102
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 1: does when we talked about it in the Texas Ohio

1103
00:52:56,560 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 1: state segment where Texas is really good stop the run

1104
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 1: with their front four and they're very conservative in their secondary.

1105
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 1: They play a zone shell and they keep everything in

1106
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 1: front of them. Maybe that's what LSU does in the

1107
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:10,719
Speaker 1: first half of this game. Maybe they play a little

1108
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:14,360
Speaker 1: bit more soft, which means maybe Adam Randall runs it

1109
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:16,240
Speaker 1: a little bit better. Maybe that's a prop you should

1110
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:19,279
Speaker 1: look at, because Clemson can get a little bit more

1111
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 1: ground and pound because the line of scrimmage doesn't have

1112
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 1: as many heavy boxes around the around the los So

1113
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:28,040
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of the other side of this

1114
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 1: equation where if LSU knows this is gonna happen, they

1115
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:33,719
Speaker 1: can plan accordingly, But then us as a gambler, as

1116
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 1: a handicapper, has to kind of read between the lines

1117
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:36,359
Speaker 1: a little bit.

1118
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:40,319
Speaker 3: I love the chess matches here, you know, because sometimes

1119
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 3: it's surface level. Oh you're starting safeties out, your corners

1120
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 3: aren't the best, We're.

1121
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:47,759
Speaker 1: Gonna throw it on you. You know.

1122
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 3: That's that's pretty checkers, right, And sometimes it becomes chess

1123
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 3: where you know, Clemson says, oh, you're anticipating us doing that.

1124
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:57,200
Speaker 1: Yep, We're gonna.

1125
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 3: Give you a dose of the running game here, how

1126
00:53:58,680 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 3: about that?

1127
00:53:59,239 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 4: You know.

1128
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:03,400
Speaker 3: I I love how that comes together, especially at the

1129
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:05,400
Speaker 3: beginning of a game, because you do you get a

1130
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 3: glimpse of the chess match between OC and DC play

1131
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 3: caller versus you know what the defense is doing. I

1132
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 3: love all of that stuff. I can't wait, you know.

1133
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 3: I'm like, you ever see those dog owners that put

1134
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 3: a treat at the end of the dog's nose and

1135
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 3: they're just kind of staring at it.

1136
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 1: Cross. That's how I feel about this Notre.

1137
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:24,279
Speaker 3: Dame game, you know what I mean, Like, I'm just

1138
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 3: staring at the treat at the end of my nose.

1139
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 3: Itching to talk about this Notre Dame game, but I

1140
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 3: can't wait to see how that game starts off CJ.

1141
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:36,439
Speaker 3: Carr's first start. You might be anticipating, like, hey, Jeremiah Love,

1142
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:40,839
Speaker 3: take some pressure off of our first year starting quarterback.

1143
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 3: Let's crank up the running game. Well, Miami, they're gonna

1144
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 3: be thinking that too defensively, so maybe we're seeing a

1145
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 3: little bit of the passing game more than anticipated with CJ.

1146
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:54,360
Speaker 3: Carr to loosen that defense. I can't wait to see

1147
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 3: the first two drives of Notre Dame's offense in that

1148
00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 3: game against Miami.

1149
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 1: It'd be like, waito, I think Miami's offensive coordinator Shannon

1150
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:07,360
Speaker 1: Dawson deserves some credit here. You take Cam Ward from

1151
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:11,799
Speaker 1: zero star recruit to Incarnate Word. Shout out Incarnate Word,

1152
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:14,799
Speaker 1: our favorite FCS program here on the show, and then

1153
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 1: he goes to Wazoo, and then he transfers to Miami.

1154
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:19,400
Speaker 1: One year later, he's the number one pick. I mean that,

1155
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:23,280
Speaker 1: from zero star recruit to number one pick. It's really impressive.

1156
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 1: And a lot of that, of course, was his talent.

1157
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:29,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to take away cam Ward's explosive ability

1158
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:32,440
Speaker 1: throwing the football, and I'm becoming intoxicated with his ceiling

1159
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 1: in the NFL, which maybe we'll get you on tomorrow show.

1160
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 1: But I do believe that Shannon Dawson deserves a lot

1161
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 1: of credit. You know who else deserves a lot of

1162
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:44,200
Speaker 1: credit the offensive line coach for Miami, Alex Mirrable. This

1163
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:48,360
Speaker 1: Miami offensive line is going to be a problem for

1164
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:50,880
Speaker 1: teams this year. And I know when we think about Miami,

1165
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:54,000
Speaker 1: we think more spread it out, throw the ball down

1166
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:56,319
Speaker 1: the field, run it, blah blah blah, a little more,

1167
00:55:56,520 --> 00:56:00,480
Speaker 1: you know, finesse. But this is a very very good

1168
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:03,840
Speaker 1: offensive line, maybe the best in the country behind Penn State,

1169
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:07,800
Speaker 1: maybe Clemson. Like I think these two ACC teams, Miami

1170
00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 1: and Clemson, are very good offensive line trenches. I'll give

1171
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:15,200
Speaker 1: you the names. You've got four starters back, All Conference

1172
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 1: tackle Francis Myoga, All Conference guard, Annix Cooper. They've got

1173
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:22,319
Speaker 1: this kid, Markel Bell, who's the other tackle, six nine,

1174
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:25,360
Speaker 1: three forty. He's like two and a half. Brian knows

1175
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:30,239
Speaker 1: he is large. Matthew McCoy's the other returning starter, and

1176
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:34,719
Speaker 1: in the fifth starter James Brockermeyer transfer from TCU. So

1177
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 1: this is an experienced, deep, talented offensive line, and I

1178
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:42,240
Speaker 1: think that is the key to this game. Notre Dames defense.

1179
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:45,000
Speaker 1: We know that their very gap sound right, they play

1180
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:48,480
Speaker 1: assignment football, but it's a new coordinator. They lost some

1181
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:51,960
Speaker 1: of their best tacklers Mills, Kaiser and then secondary Morrison

1182
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:54,840
Speaker 1: and Watts. I mean, these are NFL players, and I

1183
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:58,720
Speaker 1: think there might be some you know, growing pains getting

1184
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:02,319
Speaker 1: in the right gap and get this new coordinator Chris

1185
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 1: ash up to speed, who Aerbyn Meer says was the

1186
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: best coordinator higher of the entire offseason. I don't know

1187
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 1: if I believe him because he's a little bit biased,

1188
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:10,400
Speaker 1: but I do think this Notre Dame defense has a

1189
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 1: very tough task on their hands. Miami will be very

1190
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:15,719
Speaker 1: physical at the line of scrimmage. They have one of

1191
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:17,440
Speaker 1: the best offensive lines in the country.

1192
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:20,400
Speaker 3: Well, hey man, that's a calling card of Chrysta Ball,

1193
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 3: you know, ex offensive lineman at the U, right, and

1194
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 3: he's all about You've seen that consistently with his teams,

1195
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 3: like strong offensive lines.

1196
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:30,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, no doubt about that.

1197
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 3: And what you said about cam Ward and going to

1198
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 3: Miami and eventually being the number one overall pick as

1199
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:39,880
Speaker 3: a zero star recruit. I want to see what Carson

1200
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:42,600
Speaker 3: Beck can do, right, Carson Beck. He started off great

1201
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 3: when he's got Brock Bowers and Lad McConkey around him,

1202
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 3: and then last season it was like, whoa what happened

1203
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 3: to Carson Becke? Right, we were talking first round and yikes,

1204
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 3: wheels are off the track. Can he get back on track?

1205
00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:57,400
Speaker 3: Can Carson Becks? Kind of like remember the old MTV

1206
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:00,480
Speaker 3: show Pimp My Ride, you know, like the a loppy

1207
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:02,800
Speaker 3: shows up and they do all this stuff, and man,

1208
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 3: look at this car. Are we gonna see a little

1209
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 3: Pimp My Ride with Carson Beck as a quarterback? Right,

1210
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:09,720
Speaker 3: We're gonna put him back together, but put the new

1211
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 3: sound system in there. Presto, He's a first rounder again.

1212
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 3: He's got the talent, but the quarterback we saw last

1213
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 3: year was not the quarterback we started off seeing at George's,

1214
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 3: so I can't wait to see how that unfolds. Hopefully

1215
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:24,640
Speaker 3: he'll look like the broken down version as an Irish fan.

1216
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:27,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's gonna be a fun game, man, I'll be honest.

1217
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:30,280
Speaker 1: I do view Carson Beck as more of a facilitator,

1218
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 1: so he needs the weapons around him to be good.

1219
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:34,840
Speaker 1: I think Cam Warred is much more of a playmaker,

1220
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 1: so it'll be interesting to see how different the offense looks.

1221
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 1: They lost a lot receiver wise, Rosprepo, George Hort and

1222
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 1: or all gone, so it'll be an interesting game for sure.

1223
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 3: That's Jared Smith FSR betting analyst. I'm Brian no Rich

1224
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 3: Honberger's still with us. You think he's hashtag supporting the

1225
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:54,200
Speaker 3: show right now? Or is he like watching IP if

1226
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:57,200
Speaker 3: he's watching Braveheart or something like that, just waiting for

1227
00:58:57,320 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 3: college football. It'd be very disappointing right there. Hopefully he's

1228
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:02,920
Speaker 3: got his listening ears on. Hey, every time you make

1247
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 3: lead of Sports Trading at bet MGM. Good morning to you,

1248
01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 3: happy real football Saturday. We don't count week zero in

1249
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 3: the soft launch over there. We're often running here today, Seamus.

1250
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:16,920
Speaker 3: We got three top ten matchups, including the Irish at

1251
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:22,480
Speaker 3: Miami tomorrow night. Of these three top ten games, what value.

1252
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 1: Are you seeing?

1253
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:26,120
Speaker 3: Like if you pinpoint it, you like the over in

1254
01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 3: a game? Do you like the total in the game

1255
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:30,600
Speaker 3: aside on a game, anything that you're hot on in

1256
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:32,240
Speaker 3: those three big time matchups.

1257
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:37,280
Speaker 4: Guys, great to be back, Happy opening day. We don't

1258
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:39,920
Speaker 4: count week zero, of course, this is the real start.

1259
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:43,360
Speaker 4: But I'm looking at these big games, these top ten games.

1260
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:44,160
Speaker 2: What about to me?

1261
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:49,120
Speaker 4: Saw Ohio State this short at home the gaver. I like,

1262
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:51,880
Speaker 4: that's I'm jumping out to you. Then I'm not sure what.

1263
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:56,640
Speaker 1: Does it's wild, but I think the fact that it's

1264
01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 1: Texas and it's the defense, I think that's why you're

1265
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 1: it And that's a great place to start, Shamus. First

1266
01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 1: of all, it's obviously the game of the week. Second,

1267
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:08,720
Speaker 1: it's seen a significant amount of movement. And I texted

1268
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:10,960
Speaker 1: you this earlier in the week, Like we've known about

1269
01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 1: this game for months. The line has been up on

1270
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:17,320
Speaker 1: this game for months. Yet it wasn't until this week,

1271
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:20,480
Speaker 1: like twenty four hours ago, that we finally saw the

1272
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:24,400
Speaker 1: first big shove into the middle where people really started

1273
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:26,360
Speaker 1: to come in on Texas. We saw one very sharp

1274
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:30,040
Speaker 1: shop here in town flip actually to Texas as a favorite,

1275
01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:32,040
Speaker 1: very briefly, because they wanted to get some money back

1276
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 1: on Ohio State. And I asked you the question, even

1277
01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:38,200
Speaker 1: though we've seen these lines up for months, like it's

1278
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 1: almost like a stale meal that's been sitting out for

1279
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 1: weeks months, yet people still want to take the bite.

1280
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:47,360
Speaker 1: And the reason is because the limits expand, and that's

1281
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:50,000
Speaker 1: when the big money really starts to come into the market, right.

1282
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 4: Exactly, And this Texas ohig State gave us a perfect

1283
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:56,560
Speaker 4: example of that. You could have bet this game back

1284
01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 4: in like May like that as far and back as

1285
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:01,960
Speaker 4: I think we had this game up maybe June at

1286
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:05,200
Speaker 4: the latest. But yeah, it's been up there the whole time,

1287
01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:07,840
Speaker 4: and you wonder why the lines are going crazy like this.

1288
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:12,760
Speaker 4: And we took a few big bets yesterday on Texas

1289
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:16,480
Speaker 4: where we flipped to Texas minus one fifteen on the

1290
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:19,479
Speaker 4: money line, and then you know, we started to see

1291
01:02:19,480 --> 01:02:23,200
Speaker 4: some buyback on Ohio State. I think that we're we're

1292
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:26,160
Speaker 4: still going to need Ohio State. It is a lot

1293
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:28,880
Speaker 4: of money coming in on Texas, a lot of public money.

1294
01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:31,640
Speaker 4: We've taken a few big bets, but the public is

1295
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:33,440
Speaker 4: just all over Texas in this one.

1296
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:36,960
Speaker 3: Have you been at the counter ever, Seamus, when you

1297
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:39,200
Speaker 3: know someone brings in a duffle bag of cash and

1298
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 3: just pours it on the table and you're like, that's

1299
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:42,760
Speaker 3: what a million dollars looks like, right there?

1300
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:44,440
Speaker 1: Has that ever happened to you in your career?

1301
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:48,600
Speaker 4: You know? I haven't. And like I think of the

1302
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:51,439
Speaker 4: scene in like Dodgeball when he brings out the briefcases,

1303
01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:53,360
Speaker 4: like this is one hundred thousand dollars, Like I know

1304
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:58,200
Speaker 4: it's exaggerate. I imagine it's something like that, like just

1305
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:00,360
Speaker 4: a briefcase just so you go here you got or

1306
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:03,760
Speaker 4: like we just wired it in. But I haven't. I'm

1307
01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:05,640
Speaker 4: all my lookout for it. So I want to see

1308
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 4: like a couple of duffle bags rolling into a book

1309
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:08,000
Speaker 4: one time.

1310
01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:10,760
Speaker 1: Though, Yeah, it's funny because it doesn't look like in

1311
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:12,960
Speaker 1: the movie they made a joke about it that it's

1312
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:14,920
Speaker 1: not that it doesn't look like that much money, Like

1313
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:17,680
Speaker 1: it's only like in your mind you think it's more

1314
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:20,120
Speaker 1: than it really is. The duffle bag stuff is funny,

1315
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 1: I think, and we're in the content space. I think

1316
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:25,440
Speaker 1: a lot of people do that just for attention, Like

1317
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:27,960
Speaker 1: the real betters aren't betting that way, right, They're betting

1318
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:30,480
Speaker 1: five thousand here, ten thousand there, five thousand because you

1319
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:32,520
Speaker 1: can't just walk into a book and drop all that

1320
01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 1: money and he they're probably not going to take the bet.

1321
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:38,200
Speaker 1: B It's just it's it's not very economically sound, like

1322
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 1: it's just not very efficient. It's not very uh pragmatic,

1323
01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:43,840
Speaker 1: all right. I do think some of these other games

1324
01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:47,000
Speaker 1: on the board are pretty lined efficiently. We haven't seen

1325
01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:49,160
Speaker 1: a ton of movement with LSU Clemson. We haven't seen

1326
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 1: a ton of movement with Motre Dame Miami. It looks

1327
01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 1: like you're starting to get a little bit of love

1328
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:56,000
Speaker 1: for the Irish kissing up against that key number of

1329
01:03:56,040 --> 01:04:00,040
Speaker 1: three of those other two marquee games, what is the

1330
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:02,480
Speaker 1: biggest position that MGM needs this weekend.

1331
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:07,000
Speaker 4: Right now? Out of those two games, Notre Dame is

1332
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:09,960
Speaker 4: pretty public right now, but they've also been sharp, like

1333
01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:13,240
Speaker 4: this was it kind of bounced around that Notre Dame line.

1334
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 4: We're sitting in minus two and a half right now,

1335
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:18,680
Speaker 4: but Notre Dame is it's been pretty public. LSU money line,

1336
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:21,120
Speaker 4: i'd say, is just about as public as Notre Dame

1337
01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:25,240
Speaker 4: side is so I think right now Clemson outright is

1338
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:29,200
Speaker 4: probably just fine enough for us there as long as

1339
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:31,720
Speaker 4: they win the game. And then we'd probably like to

1340
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:34,720
Speaker 4: see Miami win outright because I imagine it would kill

1341
01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 4: just a ton of parlays for us with Notre Dame.

1342
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:40,720
Speaker 3: How dare you root against the Irish? What's up with that?

1343
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:43,520
Speaker 3: Jamis my guys? What do you think in that game?

1344
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:45,320
Speaker 3: Do you have a side or a total that you

1345
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:46,680
Speaker 3: like Irish at Miami?

1346
01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:51,960
Speaker 4: I have a soft spot for Notre Dame. I also

1347
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:53,800
Speaker 4: think this team is really good. This is my pick

1348
01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:55,040
Speaker 4: to win the national championship.

1349
01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:56,480
Speaker 1: That wow, let's go.

1350
01:04:57,640 --> 01:05:00,640
Speaker 4: I think this defense is loaded again. This is the

1351
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:03,600
Speaker 4: best running back room in the country. And I think CJ.

1352
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:06,240
Speaker 4: Carr is going to be I think he might be

1353
01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:08,400
Speaker 4: an upgrade on Riley Leonard. I really do.

1354
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:12,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be fun. I think that Miami offensive line,

1355
01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:15,040
Speaker 1: which we just talked about, is probably the best unit

1356
01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:17,640
Speaker 1: on the field, but Notre Dames defense very gap sound.

1357
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:21,240
Speaker 1: We'll see how Chris ash gets those guys up and running.

1358
01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 1: There's some big favorites this weekend, Seamus. Two really big

1359
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:28,440
Speaker 1: ones in the top ten Georgia and Penn State. Is

1360
01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:31,080
Speaker 1: it just one sided action when you see a forty

1361
01:05:31,200 --> 01:05:34,440
Speaker 1: forty five burger dropped on some of these numbers? Or

1362
01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:36,600
Speaker 1: do you get the nibbles on the dog? We all

1363
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:41,520
Speaker 1: know how much James Franklin loves covering numbers Penn State.

1364
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:43,680
Speaker 4: You'll always see the guys come in for Penn State

1365
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:46,600
Speaker 4: on those big spreads. Georgia. I've been on this show

1366
01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:48,600
Speaker 4: a few times and giving out the other side of

1367
01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:52,000
Speaker 4: a plus forty spread and have been successful both times,

1368
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:52,600
Speaker 4: may I addam?

1369
01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1370
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:57,680
Speaker 4: But but even though you see a lot more teasers

1371
01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:00,560
Speaker 4: with those games, that's pretty much what they're there for

1372
01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:01,360
Speaker 4: for a lot of people.

1373
01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:05,440
Speaker 3: Okay, Seamous special time. What do you have for us

1374
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:08,840
Speaker 3: in Week one? Well, or not even necessarily week one?

1375
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:09,640
Speaker 3: You could go soccer.

1376
01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:12,000
Speaker 1: I don't know wherever you're gonna go. Shamus text to

1377
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 1: me this week he said he has a doozy for us.

1378
01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:16,360
Speaker 1: So I am very excited for this all right.

1379
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:21,800
Speaker 7: Week one, you get a lot of these FBS FCS games,

1380
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:23,960
Speaker 7: and you know, if you look at these lines, a

1381
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:27,040
Speaker 7: lot of them kind of they kind of stink a

1382
01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:29,120
Speaker 7: little bit, you know what I mean, Like something's up here.

1383
01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:33,160
Speaker 4: We all know how bad Kent State is this year.

1384
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:36,360
Speaker 4: This is only a five and a half point. This

1385
01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:39,560
Speaker 4: line is getting vet down as we're speaking. Kent State

1386
01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:42,080
Speaker 4: Town of Mine is five and a half against Mary Mack,

1387
01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:47,800
Speaker 4: who is only FBS or SCS fairly recently. My pick

1388
01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:50,280
Speaker 4: is Mary Mack wins this game out right. I think

1389
01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:53,120
Speaker 4: it's going to be a very, very tough year for

1390
01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:53,760
Speaker 4: Kent State.

1391
01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:57,600
Speaker 1: Unbelievable. I think this is the first.

1392
01:06:57,320 --> 01:07:01,560
Speaker 4: Time on the Amack on the road. This is a

1393
01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:05,640
Speaker 4: decent sized road trip for this Ohio and they're getting

1394
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:09,480
Speaker 4: beneath a touchdown. I think I saw something the last like, Yeah,

1395
01:07:09,520 --> 01:07:14,920
Speaker 4: since two thousand SCS teams getting seven or less, they

1396
01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:18,240
Speaker 4: win this game out right a lot like we're talking

1397
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:20,280
Speaker 4: north of seventy on the money.

1398
01:07:20,320 --> 01:07:25,640
Speaker 3: Wow, that is an awesome little bit of advice right there, Seamus, outstanding.

1399
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:28,680
Speaker 3: All right, Well, it will be cheering for Mirramac today,

1400
01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:31,960
Speaker 3: no doubt about that. And thanks for being odd man.

1401
01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:33,320
Speaker 3: Crushed it as always, Seamus.

1402
01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:34,360
Speaker 1: Enjoy the day. We'll catch you.

1403
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:37,840
Speaker 4: Soon, Thanks very much, guys, enjoy the game you too.

1404
01:07:37,880 --> 01:07:41,000
Speaker 3: There is Seamus McGee, team lead of sports Trading at

1405
01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:42,040
Speaker 3: bet MGM.

1406
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:44,800
Speaker 1: Wow. That I love that pick.

1407
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:46,360
Speaker 3: You're gonna get on, Mirrormac.

1408
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:47,600
Speaker 1: You're gonna throw that in a parlay?

1409
01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:48,480
Speaker 3: What are you gonna do over there?

1410
01:07:48,520 --> 01:07:51,480
Speaker 1: After? I've been you know, furiously, it's always I always

1411
01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:55,920
Speaker 1: underestimate how many other people send me stuff on Saturday

1412
01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:59,160
Speaker 1: mornings and usually by Friday and I'm like, oh, I'm good,

1413
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:00,880
Speaker 1: I got everything locked in for the show. I'm ready

1414
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:03,600
Speaker 1: to roll. And then all of a sudden, the Saturday

1415
01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:05,920
Speaker 1: Morning Waves starts and I see all this line movement,

1416
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:07,640
Speaker 1: I see all these other people, and then Shamus comes

1417
01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:10,640
Speaker 1: on and drops a pearl like that. So I've you know,

1418
01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:13,440
Speaker 1: the bankroll is already pretty stretched today, Brian, but I

1419
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:17,800
Speaker 1: think we'll make room for Merrimack. We're stretched, but it's

1420
01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:21,360
Speaker 1: not at capacity. Just like dessert, there's always room for dessert,

1421
01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:25,600
Speaker 1: always room for Merrimack. That's right, absolutely all right. So

1422
01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:27,679
Speaker 1: you know, briefly, we're.

1423
01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:30,360
Speaker 3: We're always looking forward to the games today, but briefly,

1424
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:32,719
Speaker 3: if we look back, just for a couple of minutes

1425
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:34,719
Speaker 3: at what's going on. They've been a lot of games

1426
01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 3: the last two days, right, how about Georgia Tech? Last

1427
01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:42,120
Speaker 3: night they take down Colorado quarterback Haines King, Jared he

1428
01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:46,000
Speaker 3: rushed for one hundred and fifty six yards and three touchdowns.

1429
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:48,680
Speaker 3: Georgia Tech as a team, how about rushing for three

1430
01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:52,280
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty yards and those three touchdowns. It was

1431
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:56,680
Speaker 3: just bullyball against Colorado last night. And look, man, it

1432
01:08:56,720 --> 01:08:58,800
Speaker 3: was bad clock management at the end of that game.

1433
01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:01,960
Speaker 3: Yeah from the Buffs. Nothing personal. I love Deon Sanders,

1434
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:04,280
Speaker 3: just they had two timeouts, they didn't call any it's

1435
01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:05,240
Speaker 3: poor'clock management.

1436
01:09:05,320 --> 01:09:08,120
Speaker 1: Got to do better than that. Yeah that you can't

1437
01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:10,080
Speaker 1: take the I think Deon knows better. You can't take

1438
01:09:10,120 --> 01:09:13,240
Speaker 1: those timeouts with you. The next week when I looked

1439
01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:15,000
Speaker 1: at the box score of this game, Georgia Tech was

1440
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:18,280
Speaker 1: green across the board. Offensively, really good performance from them,

1441
01:09:18,479 --> 01:09:21,519
Speaker 1: almost seven yards per play. Haines King is like a

1442
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:24,160
Speaker 1: battering ram. I mean, he's like, you know, what's the

1443
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:26,360
Speaker 1: Thomas the truck. I don't know, one of those kids,

1444
01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:29,400
Speaker 1: toy like. He's just he's really tough, and I really

1445
01:09:29,479 --> 01:09:32,559
Speaker 1: like their offensive coordinator. So the one thing about Georgia Tech,

1446
01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:34,880
Speaker 1: you know, you don't think of them as like this

1447
01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:38,800
Speaker 1: high quality, you know, high investment program. You know, they're

1448
01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:40,800
Speaker 1: not a Texas, They're not in Ohio State. They're not

1449
01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:43,479
Speaker 1: at Georgia even in their own state. They gave their

1450
01:09:43,520 --> 01:09:48,560
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, Buster Faulkner, a whopper of an extension this offseason.

1451
01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:50,880
Speaker 1: And this is a guy that is kind of the

1452
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:53,800
Speaker 1: next great head coach, offensive mind that people think is

1453
01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:56,160
Speaker 1: going to be a great head coach at the next level.

1454
01:09:56,200 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 1: Maybe not like a high major power for conference head coach,

1455
01:09:59,880 --> 01:10:03,840
Speaker 1: but definitely a power for conference head coach potential. And

1456
01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 1: when I see a program like Georgia Tech that is

1457
01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:09,679
Speaker 1: not known for their heavy investment into the football program

1458
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:14,519
Speaker 1: given offensive coordinator a multimillion dollar extension, it tells me

1459
01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:17,519
Speaker 1: they think they can win right now. And that was

1460
01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:19,760
Speaker 1: eye opening to me. This was a tough game on

1461
01:10:19,800 --> 01:10:23,479
Speaker 1: the road at altitude against Colorado. I think Colorado's defense

1462
01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:26,599
Speaker 1: is very underrated. We think about Shador and Travis Hunter

1463
01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:29,919
Speaker 1: and all the offensive weapons. I think that Colorado defense

1464
01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:33,120
Speaker 1: is better than the offense this year because the offense

1465
01:10:33,120 --> 01:10:35,519
Speaker 1: obviously is working in a new quarterback without Shador and

1466
01:10:35,560 --> 01:10:37,679
Speaker 1: some new weapons on the outside. They lost a ton

1467
01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:41,759
Speaker 1: on the offensive skill position group, but that Colorado defense

1468
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:44,080
Speaker 1: is feisty. And again, you're on the road, you're at altitude.

1469
01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:46,920
Speaker 1: It's a tough environment in Boulder, and I thought Georgia

1470
01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:49,599
Speaker 1: Tech's offense showed me a lot of good stuff last night,

1471
01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:52,080
Speaker 1: And this is going to be a really interesting acc team.

1472
01:10:52,160 --> 01:10:54,639
Speaker 1: Not a lot of people are talking about Georgia Tech.

1473
01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:57,559
Speaker 1: We're talking about Clemson, We're talking about Miami. I think

1474
01:10:57,640 --> 01:11:00,320
Speaker 1: Faulkner and King and this Georgia Tech offense is going

1475
01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:01,599
Speaker 1: to be a problem for teams this year.

1476
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:04,599
Speaker 3: Well, hey man, it's crazy. It started off so badly

1477
01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:07,439
Speaker 3: for them where they have three straight turnovers. Yeah, Georgia Tech,

1478
01:11:07,479 --> 01:11:09,200
Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden, it's like they're just

1479
01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:11,720
Speaker 3: running it down their throat. I will say it was

1480
01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:15,120
Speaker 3: a bad side sign for Colorado heading into that game

1481
01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:17,520
Speaker 3: that they retired their live mascot.

1482
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:18,439
Speaker 1: Do you see that?

1483
01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:24,519
Speaker 3: Colorado said that Ralphie six. They cited Ralphie's indifference to running.

1484
01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:29,559
Speaker 3: The buffalo runs around. Yeah, Ralphie six, like, I'm good man,

1485
01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:31,840
Speaker 3: I really don't feel like running. So that was the

1486
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:34,599
Speaker 3: reason for the early retirement. That's not a great sign

1487
01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:36,519
Speaker 3: for the twenty twenty five season, is it not?

1488
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:39,559
Speaker 1: The Buffalo doesn't he want to run? That sounds like

1489
01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:41,639
Speaker 1: Jackpot on a hot day. When I'm like, hey, dude,

1490
01:11:41,640 --> 01:11:43,240
Speaker 1: we gotta go out for our walk, He's like, I

1491
01:11:43,280 --> 01:11:46,400
Speaker 1: am against this, my friend, Please, I want to stay

1492
01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:48,600
Speaker 1: here and snuggle up on the couch in the air conditioning,

1493
01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:49,280
Speaker 1: no doubt.

1494
01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:51,479
Speaker 3: How about we got to mention this too. This was

1495
01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:58,479
Speaker 3: what Thursday night, Boise State. It's a ranked team, twenty five,

1496
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:03,559
Speaker 3: twenty fifth rank Boise State destroyed by South Florida on

1497
01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:08,880
Speaker 3: the road. No Ashton genty equals out for Boise State.

1498
01:12:08,920 --> 01:12:11,400
Speaker 3: That was a rough one man. They got pummeled in

1499
01:12:11,439 --> 01:12:11,920
Speaker 3: that game.

1500
01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:15,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, the numbers were really ugly. I'll pull up the

1501
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:18,719
Speaker 1: box score right now. I think when you talk about

1502
01:12:18,760 --> 01:12:21,960
Speaker 1: Boise you have to talk about the Ashen genty effect.

1503
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:24,800
Speaker 1: You know, what is their offense going to look like

1504
01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:26,840
Speaker 1: this year without them? And I think we got our

1505
01:12:26,840 --> 01:12:29,639
Speaker 1: first glimb. So they are the anti Georgia Tech. They

1506
01:12:29,640 --> 01:12:32,559
Speaker 1: are all red across the board on their offensive numbers.

1507
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:37,000
Speaker 1: Four point seven yards per play. That is not going

1508
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:39,400
Speaker 1: to get it done in college football, and not against USF.

1509
01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:41,640
Speaker 1: Now you could say the weather might have played a

1510
01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:43,880
Speaker 1: factor here. I don't know if you've been to the

1511
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:48,600
Speaker 1: South Florida area around August time, but it is a rainforest,

1512
01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:53,240
Speaker 1: really muggy, really hot, not something Boisey State kids are

1513
01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:55,720
Speaker 1: probably used to, especially if they're from that part of

1514
01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:59,160
Speaker 1: the country. But you have to really chalk it up

1515
01:12:59,200 --> 01:13:02,719
Speaker 1: to Ashton Jen and I think that you know, Genty's

1516
01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:05,400
Speaker 1: looking a lot better now than he did before that game,

1517
01:13:05,760 --> 01:13:09,760
Speaker 1: because when as a quarterback and as an offense, it

1518
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:15,719
Speaker 1: is easy to diagnose a defense when you know they

1519
01:13:15,760 --> 01:13:19,120
Speaker 1: have to stop the run. They have to commit eight

1520
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:22,360
Speaker 1: nine guys in the box to stop the freight train

1521
01:13:22,400 --> 01:13:25,679
Speaker 1: of ash and Genty, even though there's more traffic around

1522
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:28,360
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. It is easy for a quarterback

1523
01:13:28,680 --> 01:13:32,280
Speaker 1: going into a play knowing the defense has to show

1524
01:13:32,320 --> 01:13:34,320
Speaker 1: their hand with a heavy box. It makes your job

1525
01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:36,400
Speaker 1: a lot easier when you're changing the play and when

1526
01:13:36,400 --> 01:13:40,920
Speaker 1: you're just calling plays to be able to show what

1527
01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:43,800
Speaker 1: the defense is going to do without really having to

1528
01:13:44,080 --> 01:13:46,439
Speaker 1: really do much Like you know going in they're going

1529
01:13:46,479 --> 01:13:48,000
Speaker 1: to show you eight nine guys in the box. Well,

1530
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:51,120
Speaker 1: now we don't really know what the defenses are going

1531
01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:53,400
Speaker 1: to do against Boise State because they're not worried about

1532
01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:56,439
Speaker 1: Genty in the backfield. So it makes Mattson's job the

1533
01:13:56,520 --> 01:13:58,840
Speaker 1: quarterback a lot more difficult and he just did not

1534
01:13:58,920 --> 01:13:59,599
Speaker 1: handle it well.

1535
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:03,240
Speaker 3: By the way, real fast Nebraska, shout out go Big

1536
01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:07,280
Speaker 3: Red their win against Cincinnati, right with Mahomes and Kelsey

1537
01:14:07,720 --> 01:14:12,320
Speaker 3: in the luxury box with their significant others. I didn't

1538
01:14:12,400 --> 01:14:16,840
Speaker 3: realize that Nebraska was this bad in one score games. Now,

1539
01:14:16,840 --> 01:14:18,920
Speaker 3: shout out to them. They won this one score game

1540
01:14:19,080 --> 01:14:22,800
Speaker 3: against Cincinnati on Thursday. Did you realize this, Jared So

1541
01:14:22,920 --> 01:14:25,240
Speaker 3: last year in Nebraska was one in five in one

1542
01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:28,800
Speaker 3: score games. You go back to twenty eighteen, in one

1543
01:14:28,880 --> 01:14:32,920
Speaker 3: possession games, Nebraska was ten and thirty five.

1544
01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:35,840
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. That is absurd.

1545
01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:40,160
Speaker 3: And they got the one score win against Cincinnati right there.

1546
01:14:40,160 --> 01:14:41,960
Speaker 1: So shout out Matt Rule year three.

1547
01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:44,200
Speaker 3: Matt Rules had a lot of success in year three

1548
01:14:44,200 --> 01:14:46,679
Speaker 3: at other stops, you know, double digit wins a couple

1549
01:14:46,720 --> 01:14:49,320
Speaker 3: of stops, So maybe this is a year for Nebraska.

1550
01:14:49,360 --> 01:14:53,760
Speaker 3: It's weird with Riola. He's such a talented quarterback, but

1551
01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:56,600
Speaker 3: it's like he just hasn't found a groove just yet. No,

1552
01:14:56,680 --> 01:15:00,240
Speaker 3: they're so careful with him, you know, I get like

1553
01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:05,760
Speaker 3: Chris de Ball justin Herbert vibes with Dylan Riola at Nebraska.

1554
01:15:05,800 --> 01:15:06,800
Speaker 3: What's your take on him.

1555
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:09,960
Speaker 1: Well, here's the issue with Nebraska. They don't have a

1556
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:13,599
Speaker 1: way to stretch the field vertically. Yeah, and that's an issue.

1557
01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:17,599
Speaker 1: Here's the other issue. They're max protecting Riola with six

1558
01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:19,800
Speaker 1: and seven guys in the blocking scheme and he's still

1559
01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:22,880
Speaker 1: taking pressure. And I know Cincinnati's defense was a little

1560
01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:27,120
Speaker 1: feistier maybe than people thought, and that's fair. But if

1561
01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:30,639
Speaker 1: you're going max protect, which is a tight end stays

1562
01:15:30,640 --> 01:15:33,280
Speaker 1: into block, the running back chips and then maybe runs

1563
01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:35,160
Speaker 1: a flat route. But for the most part, it's five

1564
01:15:35,240 --> 01:15:38,320
Speaker 1: offensive linemen plus the tight end plus some help from

1565
01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:41,880
Speaker 1: the running back. If you can't keep Riola upright when

1566
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:44,920
Speaker 1: they're only rushing four or five guys against your six

1567
01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:47,720
Speaker 1: or seven, that's a problem. That's going to be a

1568
01:15:47,720 --> 01:15:49,400
Speaker 1: problem when you go play Michigan. That's going to be

1569
01:15:49,479 --> 01:15:51,559
Speaker 1: a big problem when you go to Penn State. So

1570
01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:56,040
Speaker 1: as good as Riola is, if you can't protect for him,

1571
01:15:56,120 --> 01:15:59,599
Speaker 1: and if you don't have a deep vertical threat, how

1572
01:15:59,640 --> 01:16:02,280
Speaker 1: good can this team really be unless their defense is

1573
01:16:02,360 --> 01:16:04,360
Speaker 1: just lights out, which it was lights out and it

1574
01:16:04,439 --> 01:16:08,520
Speaker 1: is very good. But I'm worried about the ceiling for Nebraska.

1575
01:16:08,600 --> 01:16:11,080
Speaker 1: I think the floor is considerably higher. Feels like a

1576
01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:14,439
Speaker 1: seven or eight win team at their floor, but the ceiling,

1577
01:16:14,479 --> 01:16:17,080
Speaker 1: which people expected to be nine to ten wins, maybe

1578
01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:21,200
Speaker 1: a playoff berth, that ceiling feels a little bit unattainable

1579
01:16:21,240 --> 01:16:23,560
Speaker 1: based off of the schemes that I saw in the

1580
01:16:23,600 --> 01:16:26,679
Speaker 1: game the other night. That's Jared Smith FSR betting analyst.

1581
01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:30,040
Speaker 3: I'm Brian no Rich Orenberger coming up with us right

1587
01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:39,200
Speaker 5: hand in the back.

Speaker 1: Who's one breakthrough? He's in the thirty thirty.

1589

Speaker 6: to go?

1591
01:16:50,840 --> 01:16:52,760

1592
01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:53,639
Speaker 3: let's go right there?

1593

Speaker 1: All right, let's do this prop it up plays.

1612
01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:56,839
Speaker 3: Ah, Yes, the prop betting market so much to dive into, QBS,

1613
01:17:56,880 --> 01:18:00,519
Speaker 3: wide receivers, running backs, all that good stuff. Un Burger

1614
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:04,120
Speaker 3: back with us here staring at a dead.

1615
01:18:03,920 --> 01:18:08,759
Speaker 1: Comrades never a good thing, never good. But prop betting's

1616
01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:10,599
Speaker 1: a good thing. What do you have for us, Rich.

1617
01:18:11,400 --> 01:18:14,599
Speaker 8: Yeah, prop betting is a good thing. Jet comraxes are

1618
01:18:14,640 --> 01:18:16,639
Speaker 8: a bad thing. All right, So let's get into it.

1619
01:18:17,520 --> 01:18:20,840
Speaker 8: This is a correlated pick. As I've learned from Jared Smith.

1620
01:18:20,960 --> 01:18:23,920
Speaker 8: If you like a pick, well, then go deeper. And

1621
01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:24,960
Speaker 8: so I'm going to go deeper.

1622
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:25,160
Speaker 1: Here.

1623
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:28,800
Speaker 8: If I'm expecting Texas to win, it's because I'm expecting

1624
01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:32,320
Speaker 8: Ohio States to struggle, especially getting the ball to their

1625
01:18:32,320 --> 01:18:33,160
Speaker 8: favorite receiver.

1626
01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:35,440
Speaker 1: Now, Jeremiah Smith piled.

1627
01:18:35,200 --> 01:18:39,400
Speaker 8: Up thirteen hundred yards last season receiving, However, only one

1628
01:18:39,479 --> 01:18:43,400
Speaker 8: hundred and seventy of those yards came after contest. Texas

1629
01:18:43,479 --> 01:18:45,240
Speaker 8: is going to be all over him. He's going to

1630
01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:48,320
Speaker 8: be bracketed and coverage, He's going to be doubled in coverage,

1631
01:18:48,360 --> 01:18:50,160
Speaker 8: and I think they're going to try to limit his

1632
01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:52,960
Speaker 8: exposure in the game, just like they did in January.

1633
01:18:53,360 --> 01:18:56,559
Speaker 8: So give me the under whatever you find eighty three

1634
01:18:56,600 --> 01:18:59,080
Speaker 8: and a half, eighty two and a half. Give me

1635
01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:03,439
Speaker 8: the under on Jared's Jeremiah Smith for dyards.

1636
01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:06,880
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll take the under on Jared Smith's receiving yards

1637
01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:08,960
Speaker 1: against Texas to today. By the way, I think that's

1638
01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:12,960
Speaker 1: it feels like a probably pretty safe bet. Guys. This

1639
01:19:13,080 --> 01:19:14,800
Speaker 1: is why I love rich because even though he's not

1640
01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:17,519
Speaker 1: with us, you know today, he is still right on

1641
01:19:17,920 --> 01:19:22,320
Speaker 1: track in alignment with where my brain is. Julian's saying

1642
01:19:22,520 --> 01:19:24,479
Speaker 1: under two hundred and twenty one and a half passing

1643
01:19:24,520 --> 01:19:27,400
Speaker 1: yard similar vines, Texas is gonna stop the run with

1644
01:19:27,439 --> 01:19:30,679
Speaker 1: their front four. They're gonna play a zone shell defense.

1645
01:19:30,720 --> 01:19:33,400
Speaker 1: They are not going to allow the explosive plays. They

1646
01:19:33,400 --> 01:19:36,719
Speaker 1: are not going to allow that raucous Ohio State crowd

1647
01:19:36,720 --> 01:19:38,880
Speaker 1: to get excited and get all the deep plays, and

1648
01:19:38,920 --> 01:19:42,400
Speaker 1: they're gonna make saying, dink and donk go eight ten,

1649
01:19:42,520 --> 01:19:44,880
Speaker 1: twelve plays. Prove to me that you aren't going to

1650
01:19:44,920 --> 01:19:48,080
Speaker 1: make the mistake as we elongate these drives. So saying

1651
01:19:48,240 --> 01:19:50,000
Speaker 1: under two hundred and twenty one and a half passing

1652
01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:50,559
Speaker 1: yards for me.

1653
01:19:50,520 --> 01:19:53,760
Speaker 3: Today, guys, Okay, all right, man hook the better show

1654
01:19:53,840 --> 01:19:54,280
Speaker 3: up today.

1655
01:19:54,320 --> 01:19:55,320
Speaker 1: That's all I gotta say.

1656
01:19:55,320 --> 01:19:58,280
Speaker 3: You know, uh like your picks very nice. I'm gonna

1657
01:19:58,320 --> 01:20:02,479
Speaker 3: go with roll tide role. Give me Alabama running back

1658
01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:05,800
Speaker 3: Richard Young going Dick Young on you over here right

1659
01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:08,559
Speaker 3: over sixty and a half rushing yards.

1660
01:20:08,880 --> 01:20:11,360
Speaker 1: That offensive line is a problem.

1661
01:20:11,360 --> 01:20:14,720
Speaker 3: They got some dudes, and going against Florida State, I

1662
01:20:14,760 --> 01:20:16,439
Speaker 3: expect them to have a lead. I expect them to

1663
01:20:16,439 --> 01:20:20,040
Speaker 3: be running the ball and no jam Miller, the starter

1664
01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:23,120
Speaker 3: is out. So I'm going Richard Young over sixty and

1665
01:20:23,160 --> 01:20:26,639
Speaker 3: a half rushing yards. I think Bama with that offensive line,

1666
01:20:27,120 --> 01:20:29,680
Speaker 3: especially with the lead, they're gonna lean on it, and

1667
01:20:29,920 --> 01:20:32,320
Speaker 3: I would expect him to get enough opportunities to get

1668
01:20:32,360 --> 01:20:35,000
Speaker 3: over that mark. So I'll go Richard Young, not a

1669
01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:39,120
Speaker 3: household name yet, but Bama running back Richard Young. There

1670
01:20:39,160 --> 01:20:39,320
Speaker 3: you go.

1671
01:20:39,400 --> 01:20:40,640
Speaker 1: You like that one?

1672
01:20:42,280 --> 01:20:42,479
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1673
01:20:42,479 --> 01:20:42,800
Speaker 4: What do you have?

1674
01:20:42,920 --> 01:20:45,080
Speaker 1: Yeah? I don't know. Merri Mack, that's a that's another one.

1675
01:20:45,120 --> 01:20:47,920
Speaker 1: I just bet it. Actually during the break, Deshaun Bishop

1676
01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:49,840
Speaker 1: over sixty eight and a half rushing yards. This is

1677
01:20:49,840 --> 01:20:52,280
Speaker 1: the Tennessee running back. He beat out Duke transfer Star

1678
01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:55,760
Speaker 1: Thomas for the RB one job. Syracuse cannot stop the run.

1679
01:20:55,800 --> 01:20:57,920
Speaker 1: They were one hundred and seventeenth last year and they

1680
01:20:57,960 --> 01:21:00,280
Speaker 1: lost a lot on both sides of the ball. I

1681
01:21:00,280 --> 01:21:03,720
Speaker 1: think Deshaun Bishop first touchdown bet also not bad at

1682
01:21:03,720 --> 01:21:05,360
Speaker 1: five to one, but over sixty eight and a half

1683
01:21:05,439 --> 01:21:06,840
Speaker 1: rushing yards for the Tennessee back.

1684
01:21:07,040 --> 01:21:10,760
Speaker 3: Okay, nice, love the extra credit picks right there. Very nice.

1685
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:13,880

1688
01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:26,720

1697
01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:53,360
Speaker 3: this quote from Arch Banning Jared Smith, which is he's like,

1698
01:21:53,400 --> 01:21:55,960
Speaker 3: hey man, the target's not on us, the target's on

1699
01:21:56,040 --> 01:21:59,240
Speaker 3: everyone else. Check out what Arch had to say earlier

1700
01:21:59,280 --> 01:21:59,679
Speaker 3: this week.

1701
01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:01,679
Speaker 1: We kind of try to shift the narrative and we're

1702
01:22:01,680 --> 01:22:04,880
Speaker 1: going for everyone else targets hunt on our back. We

1703
01:22:04,880 --> 01:22:05,720
Speaker 1: had a red dot on.

1704
01:22:05,720 --> 01:22:08,679
Speaker 3: Everyone else, the red dots on everyone else.

1705
01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:09,000
Speaker 5: Huh.

1706
01:22:09,040 --> 01:22:11,720
Speaker 3: I love that quote. Number one Texas at number three

1707
01:22:11,800 --> 01:22:15,560
Speaker 3: Ohio State. Instead of us being the hunted, we're the hunters.

1708
01:22:16,080 --> 01:22:17,240
Speaker 3: Love that for March Manning.

1709
01:22:17,360 --> 01:22:21,519
Speaker 1: Huh. Great stuff. Well, according to every media outlet in

1710
01:22:21,560 --> 01:22:24,080
Speaker 1: the country, he's already won the Heisman. I don't know

1711
01:22:24,120 --> 01:22:26,680
Speaker 1: if you heard, Brian, but they've already given it to him.

1712
01:22:26,680 --> 01:22:29,759
Speaker 1: It's already over. Yeah, yeah, season's done. He's the Heisman

1713
01:22:29,800 --> 01:22:34,800
Speaker 1: Trophy winner. No, there's not a lot of hype that

1714
01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:37,000
Speaker 1: can be more than what we've seen from the Arch hype.

1715
01:22:37,640 --> 01:22:40,200
Speaker 1: He's handled it pretty well, right, I think he's handled

1716
01:22:40,280 --> 01:22:43,960
Speaker 1: himself pretty well. I'm not surprised because of who his

1717
01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:47,800
Speaker 1: you know, dad is and who his family is, He's

1718
01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:50,880
Speaker 1: able to handle this type of I don't want to

1719
01:22:50,880 --> 01:22:55,479
Speaker 1: say undo hype because I think he definitely deserves to

1720
01:22:55,520 --> 01:22:59,200
Speaker 1: be the Heisman favorite. His team is arguably the best

1721
01:22:59,320 --> 01:23:02,800
Speaker 1: roster in the besides maybe Penn State, and he has

1722
01:23:02,840 --> 01:23:05,960
Speaker 1: the name, so he has all of the ingredients are

1723
01:23:05,960 --> 01:23:08,280
Speaker 1: there for chef Manning. Now all he has to do

1724
01:23:08,360 --> 01:23:10,000
Speaker 1: is go out and play, which is the hardest part.

1725
01:23:10,080 --> 01:23:10,240
Speaker 4: Right.

1726
01:23:10,680 --> 01:23:15,519
Speaker 1: Here's the problem with Texas's offense in this particular game.

1727
01:23:16,439 --> 01:23:19,519
Speaker 1: We know what they want to do. Everyone on the

1728
01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:22,880
Speaker 1: planet who watches Texas and Sark knows what they want

1729
01:23:22,920 --> 01:23:25,639
Speaker 1: to do. They want to run the ball wide zone.

1730
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:29,400
Speaker 1: They've done it effectively very well over the last few

1731
01:23:29,439 --> 01:23:32,840
Speaker 1: years with this scheme under Sark, and I think something

1732
01:23:32,880 --> 01:23:34,920
Speaker 1: that they can do more of this year that they

1733
01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:37,240
Speaker 1: haven't been able to do in prior years with quinn

1734
01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:40,120
Speaker 1: Ewers is run the quarterback with Arch, and I think

1735
01:23:40,160 --> 01:23:42,880
Speaker 1: that's going to be the most intriguing change up to

1736
01:23:42,960 --> 01:23:46,960
Speaker 1: what we usually see, which is Wisner and Baxter. And

1737
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:50,679
Speaker 1: these are very good college backs, and I think they're

1738
01:23:50,680 --> 01:23:52,360
Speaker 1: going to try to pound the rock right down Ohio

1739
01:23:52,400 --> 01:23:54,840
Speaker 1: State's throat. Ohio State's dealing with a little bit of

1740
01:23:54,840 --> 01:23:58,880
Speaker 1: attrition defensively. They have talent for days, but they lost

1741
01:23:58,960 --> 01:24:02,120
Speaker 1: a lot upfront. Amalo I always get his name wrong,

1742
01:24:02,200 --> 01:24:06,800
Speaker 1: TiO Malalo JT. Let's call him JT. Tyler Williams and

1743
01:24:06,800 --> 01:24:09,000
Speaker 1: Ty Hamilton, those guys are on the NFL. You do

1744
01:24:09,160 --> 01:24:11,519
Speaker 1: get bo Atkinson, who comes in from UNC, is a

1745
01:24:11,600 --> 01:24:13,559
Speaker 1: rock star. He's gonna have to set the edge because

1746
01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:16,280
Speaker 1: that wide zone scheme wants to get outside the tackle.

1747
01:24:16,400 --> 01:24:19,640
Speaker 1: That is the goal for Texas. Running the ball outside

1748
01:24:19,720 --> 01:24:23,000
Speaker 1: of the tackles, well, that means your rush ends not

1749
01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:24,800
Speaker 1: only have to rush the passer, but they have to

1750
01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:27,439
Speaker 1: set the edge for when you are trying to stop

1751
01:24:27,479 --> 01:24:31,040
Speaker 1: the run. Atkinson's a stud UNC transfer. He's gonna play

1752
01:24:31,040 --> 01:24:33,320
Speaker 1: a massive part, not only today but this season in

1753
01:24:33,400 --> 01:24:37,840
Speaker 1: being the resurgence on that Ohio State offensive line. They

1754
01:24:37,880 --> 01:24:40,880
Speaker 1: have talent for days. Brian Again, ken Yata, Jackson, Kaden Curry,

1755
01:24:42,240 --> 01:24:44,639
Speaker 1: Edward Houston, These are all five star, top one hundred

1756
01:24:44,680 --> 01:24:46,920
Speaker 1: type recruits. They added a kid from Idaho State who's

1757
01:24:46,920 --> 01:24:49,519
Speaker 1: pretty good. But we heard Ryan Day and Larry Johnson,

1758
01:24:49,560 --> 01:24:52,360
Speaker 1: the defensive line coach, say in the offseason that he's

1759
01:24:52,360 --> 01:24:54,559
Speaker 1: a little concerned about the depth. They are not as

1760
01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:58,200
Speaker 1: deep as they were last year at this position up front.

1761
01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:01,679
Speaker 1: They might be just as talented. We just haven't seen

1762
01:25:01,720 --> 01:25:04,280
Speaker 1: these guys play yet, so that is kind of the okay,

1763
01:25:04,320 --> 01:25:05,800
Speaker 1: time to peel back to curtain and see how good

1764
01:25:05,800 --> 01:25:08,760
Speaker 1: this Ohio State defensive line is, because if Texas can't

1765
01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:10,880
Speaker 1: control the line of scrimmage, and to be fair, they

1766
01:25:10,920 --> 01:25:13,519
Speaker 1: lost both starting tackles. Cameron Williams got drafted by the

1767
01:25:13,520 --> 01:25:15,280
Speaker 1: Eagles in the sixth round and Calvin Banks was a

1768
01:25:15,320 --> 01:25:18,280
Speaker 1: top ten pick to New Orleans, so they are replacing

1769
01:25:18,320 --> 01:25:21,439
Speaker 1: some talent as well up front, but they're also loaded

1770
01:25:21,479 --> 01:25:23,320
Speaker 1: and these guys are all five star kids that are

1771
01:25:23,320 --> 01:25:25,799
Speaker 1: coming in and it's just a matter of how quickly

1772
01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:28,320
Speaker 1: can they get up to speed. I think Texas wins

1773
01:25:28,320 --> 01:25:30,720
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage on offense, Brian, but I'm not

1774
01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:31,759
Speaker 1: one hundred percent sure.

1775
01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:35,000
Speaker 3: I'm really interested as much as is going to be

1776
01:25:35,040 --> 01:25:37,719
Speaker 3: made in this game. About the quarterbacks. I'm really interested

1777
01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:41,040
Speaker 3: in the running games of both teams because you mentioned

1778
01:25:41,080 --> 01:25:44,280
Speaker 3: it with Weisner and Baxter on the Texas side, how

1779
01:25:44,400 --> 01:25:47,320
Speaker 3: much are they able to run the ball effectively and

1780
01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:50,200
Speaker 3: take pressure off of arch Manning take more off of

1781
01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:52,719
Speaker 3: his plate, you know, because the less the running game does,

1782
01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:54,640
Speaker 3: the more Arch Manning is going to have to do.

1783
01:25:54,760 --> 01:25:57,920
Speaker 3: The less Ohio States running game does, the more Julian

1784
01:25:58,000 --> 01:25:59,880
Speaker 3: Sayan is going to need to do. So James P.

1785
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:03,120
Speaker 3: Po Bulls, CJ. Donaldson Junior, those are the new guys

1786
01:26:03,120 --> 01:26:05,640
Speaker 3: at Ohio State. It's like, wait, what I'm used to

1787
01:26:05,720 --> 01:26:09,240
Speaker 3: like Henderson and Judkins. Who are these guys again?

1788
01:26:09,360 --> 01:26:12,519
Speaker 1: Right? That welcome to college football, man revolving door.

1789
01:26:13,160 --> 01:26:18,040
Speaker 3: And I'm curious to see how well and how effective

1790
01:26:18,040 --> 01:26:22,320
Speaker 3: Ohio State's running game is because you've got to be

1791
01:26:22,320 --> 01:26:26,120
Speaker 3: able to run the ball effectively to count on generating

1792
01:26:26,200 --> 01:26:29,760
Speaker 3: consistent offense. Right it's Julian Sayin's first start in a

1793
01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:32,719
Speaker 3: huge spot against the number one team in the country,

1794
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:36,200
Speaker 3: who's got dudes on defense, you know, So you got

1795
01:26:36,200 --> 01:26:37,920
Speaker 3: to crank that running game up. And if you look

1796
01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:41,680
Speaker 3: at Ohio State, we're wondering about the offensive line right,

1797
01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:44,680
Speaker 3: a lot of turnover. They're talented. I mean, you know,

1798
01:26:45,080 --> 01:26:47,840
Speaker 3: breaking news. Ohio State's got a bunch of talented guys

1799
01:26:47,880 --> 01:26:51,000
Speaker 3: waiting in the wings. But again, like we don't know

1800
01:26:51,840 --> 01:26:54,400
Speaker 3: until we know what these guys are going to be

1801
01:26:54,400 --> 01:26:56,320
Speaker 3: able to do, especially in a big spot like this.

1802
01:26:57,080 --> 01:27:01,640
Speaker 3: So that inexperienced Ohio State off defensive line, you know,

1803
01:27:01,720 --> 01:27:05,640
Speaker 3: the new running backs there, And I'm so curious if

1804
01:27:05,680 --> 01:27:09,320
Speaker 3: Jeremiah Smith. That's the big question, right, Jared, is if

1805
01:27:09,360 --> 01:27:12,240
Speaker 3: you look back to that Bowl game, Texas was like, Okay,

1806
01:27:13,200 --> 01:27:16,280
Speaker 3: Jeremiah Smith is not killing us. In fact, Jeremiah Smith

1807
01:27:16,360 --> 01:27:19,800
Speaker 3: isn't doing anything whatsoever in this game. They bracketed him.

1808
01:27:19,960 --> 01:27:21,679
Speaker 3: They're like, you have to beat us some other way.

1809
01:27:21,920 --> 01:27:24,519
Speaker 3: Not gonna be Jeremiah Smith. I don't know why they

1810
01:27:24,560 --> 01:27:27,439
Speaker 3: would change that mindset going into this one. Who's a close,

1811
01:27:27,479 --> 01:27:30,960
Speaker 3: hard fought games. A crazy turnover by quinn Ewers at

1812
01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:32,439
Speaker 3: the end of that thing, but.

1813
01:27:32,640 --> 01:27:34,360
Speaker 1: Texas right there right in it.

1814
01:27:34,600 --> 01:27:36,880
Speaker 3: So I don't know why they would change anything in

1815
01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:39,519
Speaker 3: terms of their approach to Jeremiah Smith. And if he's

1816
01:27:39,560 --> 01:27:42,720
Speaker 3: held in check, then you gotta be able to run

1817
01:27:42,760 --> 01:27:45,040
Speaker 3: the ball effectively against Texas and I'm not sold that

1818
01:27:45,080 --> 01:27:46,040
Speaker 3: they're going to be able to.

1819
01:27:46,800 --> 01:27:50,560
Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to. And here's the handicap

1820
01:27:50,560 --> 01:27:53,240
Speaker 1: on Ohio States offensive line right because it starts up front,

1821
01:27:54,120 --> 01:27:57,599
Speaker 1: just one starter back. They lost both tackles, Donovan Jackson

1822
01:27:57,640 --> 01:27:59,880
Speaker 1: Josh Simmons. Both of those guys were first round picks.

1823
01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:03,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, and the arguably two of the

1824
01:28:03,360 --> 01:28:05,360
Speaker 1: best tackles I think I saw. It was the first

1825
01:28:05,400 --> 01:28:08,799
Speaker 1: time since like the seventies that you saw two tackles

1826
01:28:08,800 --> 01:28:11,479
Speaker 1: from the same team drafted in the first round. That's crazy.

1827
01:28:12,880 --> 01:28:15,280
Speaker 1: Now the new projected left tackle and to be fair,

1828
01:28:15,479 --> 01:28:18,080
Speaker 1: I don't even know who's gonna play left tackle or

1829
01:28:18,160 --> 01:28:20,080
Speaker 1: right tackle in this game. This is what we're hearing.

1830
01:28:20,640 --> 01:28:24,240
Speaker 1: These lines can be shuffled. They have two options at

1831
01:28:24,280 --> 01:28:28,280
Speaker 1: left tackle. Austin Saravel played guard last year, had a

1832
01:28:28,280 --> 01:28:31,040
Speaker 1: below average Pro Football Focus grade in both run and

1833
01:28:31,120 --> 01:28:35,559
Speaker 1: pass blocking. He is the listed starter. They also brought

1834
01:28:35,600 --> 01:28:39,200
Speaker 1: in a transfer from Rice, Yes Rice, the Rice owls

1835
01:28:39,800 --> 01:28:43,639
Speaker 1: ethan Owenawa played just eight games for Rice last year,

1836
01:28:43,840 --> 01:28:46,599
Speaker 1: very limited experience against top caliber talent. One of those

1837
01:28:46,600 --> 01:28:48,719
Speaker 1: guys is gonna be the left tackle. I don't know who,

1838
01:28:48,720 --> 01:28:52,479
Speaker 1: probably whoever plays better. The new starting right tackle, Phillip Daniels,

1839
01:28:52,520 --> 01:28:55,320
Speaker 1: is a Minnesota transfer logged only three hundred snaps at

1840
01:28:55,360 --> 01:28:58,160
Speaker 1: right tackle last year, below average Pro Football Focus grade.

1841
01:28:58,240 --> 01:29:02,439
Speaker 1: Those are your tackle options for Ohio State trying to

1842
01:29:02,479 --> 01:29:07,200
Speaker 1: defend the edge against an unbelievable Texas defensive line. All

1843
01:29:07,200 --> 01:29:10,719
Speaker 1: American Colin Simmons last year led the team with nine sacks.

1844
01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:14,679
Speaker 1: Him and Anthony Hill, the top linebacker for Texas, are

1845
01:29:15,160 --> 01:29:20,080
Speaker 1: probably the top two defenders as a duo in the country.

1846
01:29:20,120 --> 01:29:24,000
Speaker 1: I think Caleb Downs individually is the best defensive player

1847
01:29:24,080 --> 01:29:26,840
Speaker 1: in the country, but Hill and Simmons, who was a

1848
01:29:26,840 --> 01:29:29,960
Speaker 1: freshman All American last year, I think make the best

1849
01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:32,400
Speaker 1: one to two punch. They also added three high level

1850
01:29:32,439 --> 01:29:36,080
Speaker 1: defensive linemen in the portal Travis Shawl from UNC, a

1851
01:29:36,160 --> 01:29:39,559
Speaker 1: kid named Watson from Syracuse who was on the All

1852
01:29:39,600 --> 01:29:42,759
Speaker 1: True Freshman team last year, and Cole Brovard from Perdue

1853
01:29:42,760 --> 01:29:44,559
Speaker 1: who was All Big Ten honorable mention. I mean, these

1854
01:29:44,560 --> 01:29:47,920
Speaker 1: are dudes upfront for Texas. These are high level power

1855
01:29:48,000 --> 01:29:51,840
Speaker 1: for transfers that are all fighting for spots along the

1856
01:29:51,840 --> 01:29:55,120
Speaker 1: defensive line. They are absolutely loaded and oh, by the way,

1857
01:29:55,560 --> 01:29:59,160
Speaker 1: five star freshman Justice Terry also is going to crack

1858
01:29:59,200 --> 01:30:03,920
Speaker 1: the rotation up for Texas again, dudes for days now.

1859
01:30:03,920 --> 01:30:07,120
Speaker 1: The one thing about Ohio State's offense, while Jeremiah Smith

1860
01:30:07,160 --> 01:30:09,640
Speaker 1: is held in check, it does open up options for

1861
01:30:09,680 --> 01:30:12,960
Speaker 1: other guys. For example, Carnel Tate had a really good

1862
01:30:12,960 --> 01:30:15,080
Speaker 1: game in the Cotton Bowl last year, seven catches eighty

1863
01:30:15,080 --> 01:30:17,120
Speaker 1: seven yards. He also remember he dropped the wide open

1864
01:30:17,160 --> 01:30:19,080
Speaker 1: touchdown on the first drive, should have had eight catches

1865
01:30:19,080 --> 01:30:23,479
Speaker 1: for ninety plus and a tuddy. So Smith's presence alone

1866
01:30:23,720 --> 01:30:28,320
Speaker 1: opens up options for other players. In every game last year,

1867
01:30:28,400 --> 01:30:31,160
Speaker 1: Brian that Jeremiah Smith had three or less catches, Tate

1868
01:30:31,200 --> 01:30:33,760
Speaker 1: had at least sixty receiving yards, and Igbuka of course

1869
01:30:33,840 --> 01:30:37,160
Speaker 1: led the team in receiving. So while Jeremiah Smith might

1870
01:30:37,200 --> 01:30:39,240
Speaker 1: be held in check, there will be other options available.

1871
01:30:39,280 --> 01:30:41,519
Speaker 1: I think for Julian saying, the question is A, are

1872
01:30:41,520 --> 01:30:42,920
Speaker 1: they going to be able to run the ball enough

1873
01:30:42,960 --> 01:30:45,840
Speaker 1: to slow down this Texas pass rush? And b will

1874
01:30:45,880 --> 01:30:48,160
Speaker 1: say and have enough time to hit these guys if

1875
01:30:48,160 --> 01:30:50,120
Speaker 1: the offensive line doesn't hold up. I don't know the

1876
01:30:50,160 --> 01:30:51,920
Speaker 1: answer to those questions, but I'm leaning to the no

1877
01:30:52,080 --> 01:30:52,479
Speaker 1: on both.

1878
01:30:52,800 --> 01:30:52,920
Speaker 4: Well.

1879
01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:55,360
Speaker 3: The other thing to keep in mind with Ohio State.

1880
01:30:55,439 --> 01:30:57,599
Speaker 3: As much as we're talking about the players on the field,

1881
01:30:57,840 --> 01:31:00,479
Speaker 3: which makes a lot of sense, we got it about

1882
01:31:00,439 --> 01:31:04,599
Speaker 3: the coordinators. Yes, they lost both coordinators, right, No more

1883
01:31:04,680 --> 01:31:09,000
Speaker 3: Chip Kelly he's with the Raiders coaching up Ashton Genty right,

1884
01:31:09,040 --> 01:31:12,040
Speaker 3: And Jim Knowles he's not there anymore either. So you've

1885
01:31:12,080 --> 01:31:16,559
Speaker 3: got Brian Hartline. He's the new offensive coordinator. Former receiver there, right,

1886
01:31:17,000 --> 01:31:18,799
Speaker 3: shout out to the Finns. He was with the Dolphins

1887
01:31:18,800 --> 01:31:19,360
Speaker 3: for a little bit.

1888
01:31:19,439 --> 01:31:19,599
Speaker 1: Right.

1889
01:31:20,280 --> 01:31:24,000
Speaker 3: Matt Patricia, he takes over the former Patriots guy, former

1890
01:31:24,080 --> 01:31:28,440
Speaker 3: Lions head coach. Right, Matt Patricia is the new defensive coordinator.

1891
01:31:28,760 --> 01:31:31,479
Speaker 3: So think about this too, man, where you're playing the

1892
01:31:31,560 --> 01:31:33,599
Speaker 3: number one team in the country, and I know you're

1893
01:31:33,640 --> 01:31:36,639
Speaker 3: at home and you're the defending champs, but you've got

1894
01:31:36,800 --> 01:31:40,680
Speaker 3: two new coordinators and a lot of new talent. And

1895
01:31:40,760 --> 01:31:44,000
Speaker 3: I think as much as we're looking at say Julian saying, hey,

1896
01:31:44,040 --> 01:31:47,960
Speaker 3: finding a rhythm, you know, getting comfortable, the same is

1897
01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:49,600
Speaker 3: true for new coordinators.

1898
01:31:49,720 --> 01:31:49,880
Speaker 4: Right.

1899
01:31:49,960 --> 01:31:54,200
Speaker 3: Brian Hartline has to get into a groove calling offensive plays.

1900
01:31:54,640 --> 01:31:58,200
Speaker 3: Matt Patricia's got to find a rhythm against Arch Manning

1901
01:31:58,240 --> 01:32:00,839
Speaker 3: and all the talent Texas has That's not the easiest

1902
01:32:00,840 --> 01:32:02,960
Speaker 3: thing in the world to do, and I would trace

1903
01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:05,920
Speaker 3: it right back to their head coach Ryan Day. Ask

1904
01:32:06,000 --> 01:32:08,599
Speaker 3: yourself this, would you say that's all right? They've got

1905
01:32:08,720 --> 01:32:10,080
Speaker 3: Ryan Day right?

1906
01:32:10,120 --> 01:32:11,920
Speaker 1: Would you say that Friday night?

1907
01:32:12,000 --> 01:32:15,000
Speaker 3: Like? He's shown tendencies time and time again to get

1908
01:32:15,080 --> 01:32:19,439
Speaker 3: tight in tight moments right or against Michigan. They have

1909
01:32:19,479 --> 01:32:22,240
Speaker 3: all this talent last year and then tight right like

1910
01:32:22,400 --> 01:32:25,679
Speaker 3: we were in this slobber knocker weird game. He gets

1911
01:32:25,800 --> 01:32:29,040
Speaker 3: tight a lot, and so I'm really curious to see

1912
01:32:29,040 --> 01:32:31,759
Speaker 3: how all of that plays out. It's not like Ohio

1913
01:32:31,760 --> 01:32:34,360
Speaker 3: State doesn't have talent. They have gobs of talent, but

1914
01:32:34,479 --> 01:32:38,920
Speaker 3: two new coordinators trying to you know, mix and match

1915
01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:41,920
Speaker 3: that talent, call the right plays all that. It's hard

1916
01:32:41,920 --> 01:32:45,040
Speaker 3: against the number one team to get that right out

1917
01:32:45,040 --> 01:32:47,839
Speaker 3: at the gate. I think they're gonna be a handful

1918
01:32:47,840 --> 01:32:51,439
Speaker 3: of snaffoos today. That's why I'm on Texas. I like Texas.

1919
01:32:51,439 --> 01:32:53,120
Speaker 3: It's the right side in this one.

1920
01:32:53,280 --> 01:32:55,400
Speaker 1: Me too. I mean, I think you're hearing a little

1921
01:32:55,400 --> 01:32:57,920
Speaker 1: bit coming up on our rapid Fire segment about the

1922
01:32:57,960 --> 01:33:00,320
Speaker 1: one thing that scares me is that we're all on text.

1923
01:33:02,880 --> 01:33:06,040
Speaker 1: It never ends well, I know, but maybe it'll end

1924
01:33:06,040 --> 01:33:08,520
Speaker 1: well for us today. To your point about the coordinators,

1925
01:33:09,520 --> 01:33:11,439
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing to watch this year, and

1926
01:33:11,479 --> 01:33:15,080
Speaker 1: I think, listen. Patricia is an NFL mind, and I

1927
01:33:15,160 --> 01:33:16,920
Speaker 1: know he's a little quirky, he's got the pencil in

1928
01:33:16,960 --> 01:33:18,840
Speaker 1: his ear, and I don't really care about any of that.

1929
01:33:18,960 --> 01:33:20,880
Speaker 1: All I care about is what are your results. His

1930
01:33:20,960 --> 01:33:22,960
Speaker 1: results have been pretty solid when he's only had to

1931
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:27,559
Speaker 1: worry about defenses, so I think eventually they will be

1932
01:33:28,200 --> 01:33:32,040
Speaker 1: a little bit more NFL scheme, whereas Knowles was I

1933
01:33:32,080 --> 01:33:36,040
Speaker 1: think a little more straightforward and they were actually, to

1934
01:33:36,080 --> 01:33:38,200
Speaker 1: be fair, Knowles kind of ran an NFL scheme too.

1935
01:33:38,240 --> 01:33:39,760
Speaker 1: They like to run a lot of Cover zero. I

1936
01:33:39,760 --> 01:33:41,600
Speaker 1: saw a lot of Cover eight last year too, like

1937
01:33:41,640 --> 01:33:43,200
Speaker 1: they mixed it up a lot. I did a film

1938
01:33:43,240 --> 01:33:45,880
Speaker 1: study on the Oregon Ohio State game and just how

1939
01:33:45,920 --> 01:33:49,960
Speaker 1: good that defense was in making Dylan Gabriel look very look,

1940
01:33:50,080 --> 01:33:52,680
Speaker 1: very small and very weak last year, and that was

1941
01:33:52,680 --> 01:33:55,519
Speaker 1: one of the few games where I think Oregon's offense

1942
01:33:55,560 --> 01:33:58,400
Speaker 1: really didn't show up. But there is a certain vibe

1943
01:33:58,400 --> 01:34:00,880
Speaker 1: to Patricia that rubs people the wrong way, and I

1944
01:34:00,920 --> 01:34:03,519
Speaker 1: do think he has the talent to succeed. The more

1945
01:34:04,280 --> 01:34:08,280
Speaker 1: curious relationship is going to be on offense, because I

1946
01:34:08,320 --> 01:34:12,160
Speaker 1: think chip Kelly, first of all, the Raiders big upgrade

1947
01:34:12,240 --> 01:34:14,559
Speaker 1: last year. You know, from last year's offense being able

1948
01:34:14,600 --> 01:34:17,719
Speaker 1: to go from Luke Getzi to chip Kelly. But losing

1949
01:34:17,800 --> 01:34:20,040
Speaker 1: chip Kelly is also is a big loss because I

1950
01:34:20,080 --> 01:34:22,000
Speaker 1: think his mind and how he breaks down, especially the

1951
01:34:22,080 --> 01:34:24,160
Speaker 1: run game. Right, that's why we're worried about the Ohio

1952
01:34:24,200 --> 01:34:27,040
Speaker 1: State run game. Go back and watch how effective Ohio

1953
01:34:27,080 --> 01:34:29,479
Speaker 1: State's running game was in the playoff last year. They

1954
01:34:29,520 --> 01:34:31,559
Speaker 1: just turned it on to a new level and they

1955
01:34:31,560 --> 01:34:34,280
Speaker 1: were unbelievable. They ran a lot of duo, which is

1956
01:34:34,320 --> 01:34:37,200
Speaker 1: when both guard tackle center guard will double team the

1957
01:34:37,240 --> 01:34:40,040
Speaker 1: two interior linemen and it's a very popular NFL scheme

1958
01:34:40,080 --> 01:34:41,880
Speaker 1: and it was really effective for Ohio State in the

1959
01:34:41,880 --> 01:34:43,800
Speaker 1: playoff last year. I don't know if they're gonna be

1960
01:34:43,800 --> 01:34:45,240
Speaker 1: able to do that this year. They're not as good

1961
01:34:45,240 --> 01:34:47,360
Speaker 1: at the running back position, They're not as good as

1962
01:34:47,360 --> 01:34:49,519
Speaker 1: the offensive line. Then I was a much experienced there

1963
01:34:49,720 --> 01:34:51,120
Speaker 1: and I don't know what the scheme is going to

1964
01:34:51,200 --> 01:34:54,200
Speaker 1: look like. And then the relationship between Brian Hartline and

1965
01:34:54,240 --> 01:34:56,599
Speaker 1: Ryan Day, Like if things start slow, which we expected

1966
01:34:56,640 --> 01:34:59,479
Speaker 1: to start slow first quarter under full game under. Is

1967
01:34:59,479 --> 01:35:01,120
Speaker 1: there going to be a point where Ryan Days says,

1968
01:35:01,120 --> 01:35:03,559
Speaker 1: screw you, Brian, I'm taking the reins here. And that's

1969
01:35:03,600 --> 01:35:05,439
Speaker 1: gonna be the interesting dynamic to keep an eye on

1970
01:35:05,479 --> 01:35:05,840
Speaker 1: this year.

1971
01:35:06,120 --> 01:35:08,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me just say one last thing that that

1972
01:35:09,040 --> 01:35:12,800
Speaker 3: might sound a little crazy, maybe stupid at first. Maybe

1973
01:35:12,800 --> 01:35:14,479
Speaker 3: it'll continue to sound stupid.

1974
01:35:14,520 --> 01:35:14,880
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1975
01:35:15,720 --> 01:35:19,480
Speaker 3: Matt Patricia, it's it's he's kind of like the nickelback

1976
01:35:19,520 --> 01:35:23,040
Speaker 3: of coaching right now. It's just it's just fashionable, right,

1977
01:35:23,120 --> 01:35:27,320
Speaker 3: It's just like, ah, it's freaking guy, really walk through that, Okay.

1978
01:35:27,640 --> 01:35:30,640
Speaker 3: As a defensive coordinator under Belichick, the Patriots had a

1979
01:35:30,680 --> 01:35:33,519
Speaker 3: lot of success. Yeah, they're winning super Bowls left and right.

1980
01:35:33,600 --> 01:35:37,360
Speaker 3: It's not you can't just win, you know, forty one

1981
01:35:37,479 --> 01:35:40,080
Speaker 3: thirty three left and right. Those were some you know,

1982
01:35:40,160 --> 01:35:43,080
Speaker 3: like low scoring super Bowl wins at times. They won

1983
01:35:43,160 --> 01:35:46,160
Speaker 3: a lot of playoff games, low scoring games. Matt Patricia

1984
01:35:46,200 --> 01:35:49,280
Speaker 3: had a lot of success as a defensive coordinator, and

1985
01:35:49,320 --> 01:35:52,040
Speaker 3: then he became a head coach with the Lions. It

1986
01:35:52,080 --> 01:35:55,919
Speaker 3: was a disaster. And then he's calling offensive plays somehow.

1987
01:35:56,560 --> 01:35:58,800
Speaker 1: I don't know where that came. From ridiculous with.

1988
01:35:58,800 --> 01:36:01,920
Speaker 3: The Patriots, and it's like we've we've just been in

1989
01:36:01,960 --> 01:36:05,320
Speaker 3: this mindset of like Patricia sucks, Like you just hear

1990
01:36:05,360 --> 01:36:10,760
Speaker 3: that routinely. He's back to being a defensive coordinator, right,

1991
01:36:10,840 --> 01:36:14,479
Speaker 3: Like he was never a disaster as far as that goes,

1992
01:36:14,520 --> 01:36:18,559
Speaker 3: that that's his true calling card, and back in college,

1993
01:36:18,720 --> 01:36:21,720
Speaker 3: I think it's just I've heard too many like, oh,

1994
01:36:21,760 --> 01:36:23,679
Speaker 3: they're probably gonna lose a couple of games just because

1995
01:36:23,680 --> 01:36:27,400
Speaker 3: of Matt Patricia, And it's like I expect for them

1996
01:36:27,400 --> 01:36:30,040
Speaker 3: to be some poor calls here and there and some

1997
01:36:30,120 --> 01:36:33,280
Speaker 3: mistakes here and there, but to make it sound like

1998
01:36:33,360 --> 01:36:37,160
Speaker 3: they're just in poor hands, this guy doesn't have a clue.

1999
01:36:37,600 --> 01:36:39,479
Speaker 3: That could not be further from the truth.

2000
01:36:39,880 --> 01:36:41,920
Speaker 1: Right we were talking about pimp my ride.

2001
01:36:41,840 --> 01:36:45,680
Speaker 3: Right like with with with cam Ward zero recruit to

2002
01:36:45,720 --> 01:36:47,519
Speaker 3: a number one overall pick and see if that can

2003
01:36:47,520 --> 01:36:50,519
Speaker 3: happen with Carson Beck. I think we need to pimp

2004
01:36:50,520 --> 01:36:53,880
Speaker 3: my ride with our overall outlook. As far as Matt

2005
01:36:53,920 --> 01:36:58,280
Speaker 3: Patricia the defensive coordinator, he's not the disaster many people

2006
01:36:58,320 --> 01:36:59,040
Speaker 3: make him out to be.

2007
01:36:59,360 --> 01:37:02,880
Speaker 1: Totally agree, and that's where the narrative can work in

2008
01:37:02,880 --> 01:37:06,920
Speaker 1: your favor. In the gambling market. Right, Ohio State has

2009
01:37:07,040 --> 01:37:09,640
Speaker 1: so many good players on defense. Now again, they're not

2010
01:37:09,840 --> 01:37:13,280
Speaker 1: as experienced as they were last year upfront or even

2011
01:37:13,320 --> 01:37:17,920
Speaker 1: in the secondary, but they are still loaded with five

2012
01:37:18,000 --> 01:37:21,000
Speaker 1: star after five star after five star and then, oh,

2013
01:37:21,040 --> 01:37:24,639
Speaker 1: by the way, bo Atkinson, North Carolina's best defensive player, decided,

2014
01:37:24,640 --> 01:37:26,960
Speaker 1: I don't want to play for Bill Belichick. I want

2015
01:37:26,960 --> 01:37:30,280
Speaker 1: to go play for Matt Patricia instead. And that being

2016
01:37:30,360 --> 01:37:32,640
Speaker 1: obviously money was a big factor here, I'm sure, but

2017
01:37:32,960 --> 01:37:36,280
Speaker 1: it's just you just look at the players he's working with,

2018
01:37:36,760 --> 01:37:38,800
Speaker 1: and then you throw in the fact that he is

2019
01:37:38,880 --> 01:37:42,040
Speaker 1: going to be except for this game and maybe the

2020
01:37:42,040 --> 01:37:44,280
Speaker 1: game against Penn State, he is going to have the

2021
01:37:44,400 --> 01:37:47,960
Speaker 1: vastly more superior roster in every game he coaches this year.

2022
01:37:48,439 --> 01:37:52,200
Speaker 1: It's like when you give an average, you know, Carpenter

2023
01:37:52,360 --> 01:37:55,120
Speaker 1: the best tools, He's probably gonna make something better than average.

2024
01:37:55,160 --> 01:37:55,360
Speaker 4: Right.

2025
01:37:55,600 --> 01:37:58,519
Speaker 1: So I'm not saying Matt Patricia's average, but this narrative

2026
01:37:58,560 --> 01:38:01,360
Speaker 1: that he is is actually working in our favor if

2027
01:38:01,400 --> 01:38:04,080
Speaker 1: we want to bet Ohio State at some point this year. Again,

2028
01:38:04,200 --> 01:38:07,000
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about Patricia's defense. The biggest question I

2029
01:38:07,040 --> 01:38:10,400
Speaker 1: have with the coordinator switches is the continuity on offense,

2030
01:38:10,720 --> 01:38:14,400
Speaker 1: because I am concerned that if things do start slow.

2031
01:38:14,800 --> 01:38:19,919
Speaker 1: You mentioned it, Brian Ryan Day TSS tight sphincter syndrome.

2032
01:38:20,080 --> 01:38:22,280
Speaker 1: Is he going to start to do all kinds of

2033
01:38:22,320 --> 01:38:24,559
Speaker 1: weird stuff like, Hey, no, you know's he gonna get

2034
01:38:24,560 --> 01:38:26,200
Speaker 1: in Brian HARTLINZ here not not. We're doing this And

2035
01:38:26,240 --> 01:38:28,000
Speaker 1: I don't know the answer to these questions. I'm not

2036
01:38:28,040 --> 01:38:29,920
Speaker 1: in the meeting rooms. I'm not in the practice rooms.

2037
01:38:30,120 --> 01:38:32,880
Speaker 1: I'm just speculating on how I see the chain of

2038
01:38:32,920 --> 01:38:37,599
Speaker 1: command flowing. Last year, Chip Kelly had full reigns. This year,

2039
01:38:37,680 --> 01:38:40,320
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure if Brian Hartline is given the

2040
01:38:40,360 --> 01:38:45,160
Speaker 1: full keys to the castle TSS there it is right there.

2041
01:38:45,240 --> 01:38:48,200
Speaker 1: But our first mention of many this year probably tremendous.

2042
01:38:48,240 --> 01:38:51,680
Speaker 3: That's Jared Smith FSR, betting analyst. I'm probably to know

2043
01:38:51,800 --> 01:38:53,880
Speaker 3: rich Orenberger with us'll be with us at the end

2044

01:38:56,920 --> 01:38:58,600

2074
01:40:21,520 --> 01:40:24,840
Speaker 3: six Notre Dame against number ten Miami. That is right,

2075
01:40:25,320 --> 01:40:29,280
Speaker 3: the rebirth of the old rivalry, if you will, great.

2076
01:40:29,080 --> 01:40:30,000
Speaker 1: Top ten matchup.

2077
01:40:30,320 --> 01:40:32,719
Speaker 3: How about this the comments from Notre Dame.

2078
01:40:32,600 --> 01:40:33,839
Speaker 1: Head coach Marcus Freeman.

2079
01:40:34,800 --> 01:40:38,240
Speaker 3: Do you read into this and say, you know, maybe

2080
01:40:38,280 --> 01:40:39,880
Speaker 3: a bit of a conservative game plan?

2081
01:40:39,920 --> 01:40:41,040
Speaker 1: It would make sense CJ.

2082
01:40:41,200 --> 01:40:45,479
Speaker 3: Carr first start in college for the Irish. This is

2083
01:40:45,479 --> 01:40:49,000
Speaker 3: what Marcus Freeman says about CJ. Carrey says every play

2084
01:40:49,160 --> 01:40:52,280
Speaker 3: it can't be a bomb. Trust the game plan, trust

2085
01:40:52,280 --> 01:40:56,040
Speaker 3: what you see, be who you are, and win this play.

2086
01:40:57,360 --> 01:41:00,720
Speaker 3: I mean, I hear conservative, conservative, conservative of conservative. What

2087
01:41:00,760 --> 01:41:03,360
Speaker 3: do you hear as far as what you might see

2088
01:41:03,400 --> 01:41:06,240
Speaker 3: tomorrow night? In terms of what Marcus Freeman said about CJ.

2089
01:41:06,360 --> 01:41:10,200
Speaker 1: Carr, Well, here's the good news for that comment, because yeah,

2090
01:41:10,240 --> 01:41:13,560
Speaker 1: I think on the surface it's hard to not think conservative.

2091
01:41:13,600 --> 01:41:16,240
Speaker 1: But here's the good news. I do think this Notre

2092
01:41:16,320 --> 01:41:19,200
Speaker 1: Dame offense has some dudes who can stretch the field.

2093
01:41:19,840 --> 01:41:22,760
Speaker 1: I'm actually really excited, frankly about the receiving group this year,

2094
01:41:22,880 --> 01:41:25,280
Speaker 1: and you mentioned great House, who returns from last year.

2095
01:41:25,800 --> 01:41:27,880
Speaker 1: He was kind of their best player down the stretch

2096
01:41:27,920 --> 01:41:30,439
Speaker 1: Malachi Fields. He had over fourteen hundred receiving yards in

2097
01:41:30,439 --> 01:41:33,439
Speaker 1: two years at Virginia. You also have Will Pauling, who

2098
01:41:33,520 --> 01:41:36,640
Speaker 1: comes in from Wisconsin had over twelve hundred receiving yards

2099
01:41:36,680 --> 01:41:39,120
Speaker 1: in two seasons with the Badgers. So you have three

2100
01:41:39,320 --> 01:41:43,519
Speaker 1: really good power for caliber receivers, which is not something

2101
01:41:43,560 --> 01:41:47,479
Speaker 1: I think Riley Leonard had at his disposal last year.

2102
01:41:47,920 --> 01:41:52,559
Speaker 1: So if CJ. Carr does get comfortable, that is a

2103
01:41:52,600 --> 01:41:55,360
Speaker 1: weapon in your back pocket. Here's the other weapon, and

2104
01:41:55,400 --> 01:41:57,240
Speaker 1: it's kind of the Boise State thing, right, It's the

2105
01:41:57,280 --> 01:42:01,000
Speaker 1: Ash and genty effect. You have the running back in

2106
01:42:01,040 --> 01:42:03,200
Speaker 1: college football period. End of story. I don't want to

2107
01:42:03,200 --> 01:42:06,280
Speaker 1: hear any debate on that. Jeremiah loves the number one

2108
01:42:06,800 --> 01:42:10,400
Speaker 1: back in college football. Well, their number two back might

2109
01:42:10,439 --> 01:42:12,960
Speaker 1: be a number one back on most other teams. Jadarien

2110
01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:15,240
Speaker 1: Price the average over six yards of carry last year.

2111
01:42:15,560 --> 01:42:18,360
Speaker 1: So you get this Ash gingent the effect where CJ.

2112
01:42:18,479 --> 01:42:23,320
Speaker 1: Carr knows he's going to have to examine the line

2113
01:42:23,320 --> 01:42:26,759
Speaker 1: of scrimmage and likely navigate a lot of heavy boxes,

2114
01:42:26,800 --> 01:42:30,320
Speaker 1: but knowing that you have a chance, I think to

2115
01:42:30,400 --> 01:42:32,599
Speaker 1: run a lot of play action to spread things out

2116
01:42:33,040 --> 01:42:37,719
Speaker 1: and to run hopefully out of shotgun into some lighter boxes,

2117
01:42:37,760 --> 01:42:41,160
Speaker 1: get the running game going, but then also really make

2118
01:42:41,200 --> 01:42:43,599
Speaker 1: teams pay for stacking the box and trying to shut

2119
01:42:43,640 --> 01:42:47,040
Speaker 1: down the run game. And I think, if I'm Marcus Freeman, right,

2120
01:42:47,120 --> 01:42:51,360
Speaker 1: let's play chess here, not checkers. You've got Price and

2121
01:42:51,520 --> 01:42:57,559
Speaker 1: Love and you've got a rookie quarterback. Let's think. Let's

2122
01:42:57,600 --> 01:43:00,360
Speaker 1: make the defense think we're gonna pound the right and

2123
01:43:00,400 --> 01:43:02,519
Speaker 1: when they think we are gonna do that, what are

2124
01:43:02,520 --> 01:43:04,680
Speaker 1: we gonna do. We're gonna throw it because we have

2125
01:43:04,800 --> 01:43:07,719
Speaker 1: the advantage on the outside, because we have man demand coverage,

2126
01:43:08,040 --> 01:43:10,120
Speaker 1: because the defenses have to commit to stop the run.

2127
01:43:10,200 --> 01:43:13,200
Speaker 1: So if I'm Marcus Freeman and you are planning to

2128
01:43:13,280 --> 01:43:16,479
Speaker 1: throw and be aggressive with CJ. Carr, you probably should

2129
01:43:16,479 --> 01:43:19,080
Speaker 1: come out and say you're not, because that would again

2130
01:43:19,560 --> 01:43:22,160
Speaker 1: lean on the run game and get teams focused on

2131
01:43:22,200 --> 01:43:24,599
Speaker 1: those two stud backs, Price and Love.

2132
01:43:25,160 --> 01:43:27,400
Speaker 3: It's gonna be really interesting to see how the whole

2133
01:43:27,479 --> 01:43:30,840
Speaker 3: game plays out. Because for the record, I don't think

2134
01:43:30,880 --> 01:43:34,599
Speaker 3: being conservative is a horrible approach, you know, with your

2135
01:43:35,320 --> 01:43:37,960
Speaker 3: first year, starting quarter, but making his first start.

2136
01:43:37,960 --> 01:43:38,240
Speaker 1: CJ.

2137
01:43:38,400 --> 01:43:41,160
Speaker 3: Carr on the road at Miami. I don't think being

2138
01:43:41,200 --> 01:43:43,920
Speaker 3: conservative is a bad thing. I think that you got

2139
01:43:43,920 --> 01:43:47,639
Speaker 3: to find the middle ground, right and just to see

2140
01:43:47,640 --> 01:43:49,760
Speaker 3: how the game plays out. I agree with you at

2141
01:43:49,760 --> 01:43:53,400
Speaker 3: the beginning Miami, like the place is gonna be on fire,

2142
01:43:53,680 --> 01:43:56,400
Speaker 3: you know, Notre Dame's there, crowd's gonna be into it.

2143
01:43:56,760 --> 01:43:59,320
Speaker 3: Miami is gonna be completely fired up. The d line

2144
01:43:59,439 --> 01:44:01,439
Speaker 3: is just gonna be like you want to run the

2145
01:44:01,439 --> 01:44:03,759
Speaker 3: ball or bring it on, baby. You're right, they're.

2146
01:44:03,560 --> 01:44:05,479
Speaker 1: Gonna be fired up for that.

2147
01:44:05,240 --> 01:44:07,800
Speaker 3: That would be a good time to catch them off

2148
01:44:07,800 --> 01:44:10,280
Speaker 3: guard a bit, maybe a little play action pass, you know,

2149
01:44:10,640 --> 01:44:13,400
Speaker 3: let's throw it a bit. But to see how the

2150
01:44:13,400 --> 01:44:17,080
Speaker 3: rest of the game plays out, there's one thing. For Okay,

2151
01:44:17,080 --> 01:44:20,519
Speaker 3: we got a couple of scripted throws on that first drive. Okay,

2152
01:44:20,560 --> 01:44:22,960
Speaker 3: we had a little bit of success. Then what happens

2153
01:44:23,040 --> 01:44:26,040
Speaker 3: Let's say Notre Dame has a lead. There any scenario

2154
01:44:26,520 --> 01:44:29,679
Speaker 3: that's presented. Did they keep their foot on the gas

2155
01:44:30,080 --> 01:44:32,720
Speaker 3: if they start slinging it around a little bit, or

2156
01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:36,479
Speaker 3: do you revert back to all right, we're ahead by seven,

2157
01:44:37,400 --> 01:44:40,839
Speaker 3: No need to put our first you know, our quarterback

2158
01:44:40,840 --> 01:44:43,639
Speaker 3: making his first start in Harm's way. Let's get Jeremiah

2159
01:44:43,640 --> 01:44:46,000
Speaker 3: Love into the mix here, you know, Like I really

2160
01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:49,719
Speaker 3: want to see how the game ebbs and flows based

2161
01:44:49,760 --> 01:44:53,320
Speaker 3: on time and score with CJ. Carr and what he's

2162
01:44:53,640 --> 01:44:56,320
Speaker 3: asked to do by the play callers right there. What

2163
01:44:56,360 --> 01:44:58,240
Speaker 3: are they gonna ask him to do throughout the game,

2164
01:44:58,280 --> 01:45:00,840
Speaker 3: not just the first two drives, but throughout the whole thing.

2165
01:45:01,520 --> 01:45:05,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't love the Miami defense. I think like

2166
01:45:05,200 --> 01:45:09,280
Speaker 1: that's where in the weather might be a factor. Hard

2167
01:45:09,360 --> 01:45:12,080
Speaker 1: Rock is an NFL stadium, not much college field to it.

2168
01:45:12,080 --> 01:45:15,320
Speaker 1: It's not going to have that, you know, raucous atmosphere

2169
01:45:15,360 --> 01:45:17,120
Speaker 1: where car is going to be running for his life

2170
01:45:17,160 --> 01:45:18,720
Speaker 1: and the fans are gonna be screaming like it just

2171
01:45:19,160 --> 01:45:21,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a lot of Notre Dame fans at

2172
01:45:21,000 --> 01:45:22,920
Speaker 1: this game. And I was at the Notre Dame Penn

2173
01:45:22,960 --> 01:45:26,040
Speaker 1: State game at hard Rock Stadium eight months ago, seven

2174
01:45:26,040 --> 01:45:29,760
Speaker 1: months ago, and it was very fifty to fifty. And

2175
01:45:29,800 --> 01:45:32,080
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it'll be fifty to fifty tonight because

2176
01:45:32,080 --> 01:45:34,960
Speaker 1: I do think you're obviously in Miami. There should be

2177
01:45:35,040 --> 01:45:37,960
Speaker 1: more Miami fans at this game, especially with Carson Beck

2178
01:45:38,000 --> 01:45:40,280
Speaker 1: making his first start, a lot of excitement around the program,

2179
01:45:40,760 --> 01:45:43,240
Speaker 1: but Notre Dame travels really well. And I think they're

2180
01:45:43,280 --> 01:45:46,000
Speaker 1: going to have a boatload of butts in the seats

2181
01:45:46,000 --> 01:45:48,559
Speaker 1: down there at hard Rock Stadium tonight, which I think

2182
01:45:48,640 --> 01:45:51,640
Speaker 1: is gonna make CJ. Carr's you know, operation at the

2183
01:45:51,640 --> 01:45:54,840
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage a little bit easier. This is not, though,

2184
01:45:54,880 --> 01:45:58,920
Speaker 1: the sexiest Miami defense. They are not going to like Texas,

2185
01:45:59,000 --> 01:46:01,200
Speaker 1: just line it up and smash it right down your

2186
01:46:01,200 --> 01:46:02,640
Speaker 1: throat if you're going to try to run it on

2187
01:46:02,680 --> 01:46:07,000
Speaker 1: them against their standard you know, their standard unit. I

2188
01:46:07,040 --> 01:46:11,120
Speaker 1: think if Miami does over commit to the run, I

2189
01:46:11,160 --> 01:46:13,760
Speaker 1: would just And maybe this is just me as like

2190
01:46:13,800 --> 01:46:18,400
Speaker 1: an offensive mind guru quarterback guy speaking, but I don't

2191
01:46:18,520 --> 01:46:20,840
Speaker 1: like to go into a game with a set plan.

2192
01:46:21,360 --> 01:46:23,760
Speaker 1: I like to have my stuff that I would run

2193
01:46:24,280 --> 01:46:27,400
Speaker 1: against this formation, against this type of defense, against this

2194
01:46:27,520 --> 01:46:30,280
Speaker 1: type of box, against this type of you know, you know,

2195
01:46:30,479 --> 01:46:33,040
Speaker 1: down and distance. But then I want to let the

2196
01:46:33,120 --> 01:46:36,240
Speaker 1: defense dictate what my adjustments are. And I think it's

2197
01:46:36,280 --> 01:46:38,519
Speaker 1: obvious that you start with love and price. I mean,

2198
01:46:38,520 --> 01:46:40,760
Speaker 1: that's like no brainer stuff, right, Like you've got the

2199
01:46:40,880 --> 01:46:44,200
Speaker 1: best back in college football, and his backup is probably

2200
01:46:44,200 --> 01:46:47,200
Speaker 1: a top fifteen, top twenty back in college football. Like,

2201
01:46:47,280 --> 01:46:50,280
Speaker 1: maybe let's get them involved first and let's see how

2202
01:46:50,320 --> 01:46:53,439
Speaker 1: Miami plays it, and then we adjust from there, because

2203
01:46:53,479 --> 01:46:55,679
Speaker 1: if they are going to stack the box, that's when

2204
01:46:55,680 --> 01:46:59,160
Speaker 1: those three receivers should become very active. But I would

2205
01:46:59,240 --> 01:47:02,360
Speaker 1: start the game if the first player of the game

2206
01:47:02,479 --> 01:47:05,160
Speaker 1: is not a Jeremiah Love handoff, I think we have

2207
01:47:05,200 --> 01:47:07,400
Speaker 1: a problem here. But from there, I think you're gonna

2208
01:47:07,400 --> 01:47:09,760
Speaker 1: see some adjustments because I think Marcus Freeman's a really

2209
01:47:09,760 --> 01:47:12,719
Speaker 1: good coach, and I think eventually you'll get those receivers

2210
01:47:12,760 --> 01:47:14,880
Speaker 1: involved and hopefully car gets comfortable quickly.

2211
01:47:15,479 --> 01:47:20,920
Speaker 3: By the way, how does Miami not have a stadium

2212
01:47:21,120 --> 01:47:22,480
Speaker 3: on their own campus?

2213
01:47:22,479 --> 01:47:25,000
Speaker 1: Great, Well, Coral Gables is weird. You ever been down there?

2214
01:47:25,720 --> 01:47:28,160
Speaker 1: I haven't, No, I have not. It's a unique camp.

2215
01:47:28,200 --> 01:47:29,479
Speaker 1: So I used to work down there when I worked

2216
01:47:29,479 --> 01:47:31,840
Speaker 1: at FAU. We traveled there for baseball a lot. Even

2217
01:47:31,840 --> 01:47:34,719
Speaker 1: their baseball stadium is like in the middle of Coral Gables.

2218
01:47:34,720 --> 01:47:37,840
Speaker 1: It's like it's not a very big campus, so there's

2219
01:47:37,840 --> 01:47:40,320
Speaker 1: not a lot of space, and I think that would

2220
01:47:40,360 --> 01:47:41,600
Speaker 1: be the reason why.

2221
01:47:41,400 --> 01:47:44,519
Speaker 3: I'm sure they can carve enough space, like.

2222
01:47:45,000 --> 01:47:46,960
Speaker 1: This is it put it on the beach for crying

2223
01:47:46,960 --> 01:47:48,200
Speaker 1: out loud, Right, we're.

2224
01:47:48,000 --> 01:47:50,680
Speaker 3: Not talking the badminton team over here, Like this is

2225
01:47:50,720 --> 01:47:53,120
Speaker 3: the you with, this is the you with the what

2226
01:47:53,200 --> 01:47:55,400
Speaker 3: the fifty eight game home winning streak?

2227
01:47:55,479 --> 01:47:58,160
Speaker 1: You used to play the titles? Yeah, it was a

2228
01:47:58,160 --> 01:47:59,679
Speaker 1: different vibe, very different vibe.

2229
01:47:59,760 --> 01:48:03,400
Speaker 3: Please, different vibe, totally different than playing at a pro stadium.

2230
01:48:03,479 --> 01:48:06,320
Speaker 1: It's insane to me. It is a little strange.

2231
01:48:06,600 --> 01:48:08,240
Speaker 3: I'm sure there's a maybe you can think of it

2232
01:48:08,240 --> 01:48:09,640
Speaker 3: off the top of your head. There's got to be

2233
01:48:09,680 --> 01:48:15,080
Speaker 3: a major college program with an NFL stadium halfway nearby,

2234
01:48:15,720 --> 01:48:19,840
Speaker 3: and it would be obnoxious to think of that powerhouse

2235
01:48:19,880 --> 01:48:23,840
Speaker 3: playing in the NFL stadium every single week. There's got

2236
01:48:24,000 --> 01:48:25,719
Speaker 3: to be something that quality the major.

2237
01:48:25,840 --> 01:48:28,320
Speaker 1: Well, that's the thing about college football that I love.

2238
01:48:28,439 --> 01:48:31,160
Speaker 1: It's not big cities. That's why I love the Penn State.

2239
01:48:31,360 --> 01:48:33,479
Speaker 1: Like when I remember, so I went to high school

2240
01:48:34,160 --> 01:48:37,240
Speaker 1: in Northern Virginia and I remember, it's a lot. I know,

2241
01:48:37,280 --> 01:48:39,080
Speaker 1: you're like with Penn State. It's really close to Penn State.

2242
01:48:39,080 --> 01:48:40,800
Speaker 1: It's actually like three and a half hours away because

2243
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:45,040
Speaker 1: you just drive straight up from DC. But I remember

2244
01:48:45,160 --> 01:48:47,280
Speaker 1: driving to Penn State for the first time to go

2245
01:48:47,400 --> 01:48:52,800
Speaker 1: visit the campus and it's like cow, cow Cow, and

2246
01:48:52,840 --> 01:48:56,519
Speaker 1: then forty thousand students on like this random patch of land,

2247
01:48:56,600 --> 01:48:59,720
Speaker 1: Like it's not in the middle of anywhere where you

2248
01:48:59,760 --> 01:49:02,720
Speaker 1: could populate. Like it's really far from Philly, really far.

2249
01:49:02,760 --> 01:49:04,400
Speaker 1: It's like a three and a half hour drive from Philly.

2250
01:49:04,400 --> 01:49:06,360
Speaker 1: It's like four hours from New York. So it's not

2251
01:49:06,600 --> 01:49:09,879
Speaker 1: close to anything big. And that's what I love about

2252
01:49:09,920 --> 01:49:12,680
Speaker 1: college football. Ann Arbor. I guess it was kind of

2253
01:49:12,720 --> 01:49:15,200
Speaker 1: close to Detroit, but it's like an hour away. Columbus

2254
01:49:15,280 --> 01:49:17,040
Speaker 1: is a little bit, you know, in a big city.

2255
01:49:17,040 --> 01:49:19,200
Speaker 1: It's a state capital, but it's not a major city

2256
01:49:19,240 --> 01:49:20,719
Speaker 1: with major NFL teams.

2257
01:49:20,479 --> 01:49:23,240
Speaker 3: So well you could it'd be like USC doesn't have

2258
01:49:23,320 --> 01:49:26,360
Speaker 3: a great home atmosphere, but still it'd be like them

2259
01:49:26,360 --> 01:49:30,000
Speaker 3: playing at so far it's just weird, but that's what

2260
01:49:30,040 --> 01:49:35,960
Speaker 3: the Miami Hurricanes, the Miami Hurricanes still do. It blows

2261
01:49:36,040 --> 01:49:40,559
Speaker 3: my mind. Like Baylor built a stadium not that long ago.

2262
01:49:40,760 --> 01:49:42,680
Speaker 3: It was a big deal for them to build it

2263
01:49:42,720 --> 01:49:46,000
Speaker 3: on campus, you know. I just it's amazing to me

2264
01:49:46,040 --> 01:49:48,960
Speaker 3: because because again, if it's on campus and that old

2265
01:49:49,120 --> 01:49:52,960
Speaker 3: Orange Bowl vibe. How you haven't figured that out to

2266
01:49:52,960 --> 01:49:55,800
Speaker 3: put a stadium on campus is beyond me. That's just

2267
01:49:55,880 --> 01:49:58,360
Speaker 3: stunning to me that Miami hasn't figured that out.

2268
01:49:58,400 --> 01:49:59,880
Speaker 1: By the way, I must have some kind of deal

2269
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:02,400
Speaker 1: with hard Rock Stadium and it's gotta be that. Well.

2270
01:50:02,439 --> 01:50:05,519
Speaker 3: I'm sure they do, but still it's like, how is

2271
01:50:05,560 --> 01:50:09,320
Speaker 3: that the best thing for the University of Miami. No

2272
01:50:09,400 --> 01:50:14,160
Speaker 3: idea unless outside of just strictly dollars and cents, There's

2273
01:50:14,200 --> 01:50:18,479
Speaker 3: no way you can convince me that's It's ridiculous. It's crazy, Like,

2274
01:50:18,479 --> 01:50:21,400
Speaker 3: imagine if Notre Dame instead of at home on campus

2275
01:50:21,400 --> 01:50:24,799
Speaker 3: there you have to travel by bus this random location

2276
01:50:25,040 --> 01:50:27,720
Speaker 3: off campus. They imagine if there was an NFL team

2277
01:50:27,720 --> 01:50:28,120
Speaker 3: around there.

2278
01:50:28,160 --> 01:50:28,719
Speaker 1: It's just dumb.

2279
01:50:28,800 --> 01:50:32,760
Speaker 3: By the way, shout out Lee Corso final appearance on

2280
01:50:32,920 --> 01:50:37,559
Speaker 3: game day and retiring legendary career, and I think this

2281
01:50:37,640 --> 01:50:40,280
Speaker 3: is really cool as well. How about Fox Sports. They're

2282
01:50:40,320 --> 01:50:43,639
Speaker 3: gonna show his pick at the end of the show.

2283
01:50:43,640 --> 01:50:46,080
Speaker 3: They're gonna show it on their network, So it's not

2284
01:50:46,080 --> 01:50:49,559
Speaker 3: gonna be the ESPN feed. It's gonna be the stadium

2285
01:50:49,680 --> 01:50:52,919
Speaker 3: jumbo tron. That's what they're gonna show on Fox Sports.

2286
01:50:53,160 --> 01:50:56,559
Speaker 3: Like Big Fox, the Fox TV. And you know, so

2287
01:50:56,640 --> 01:51:01,439
Speaker 3: everybody inside like the the the They're gonna hear who

2288
01:51:01,479 --> 01:51:02,560
Speaker 3: Corso picks?

2289
01:51:03,080 --> 01:51:05,880
Speaker 1: Is he going heel? Is he going Texas? I feel

2290
01:51:05,880 --> 01:51:08,200
Speaker 1: like Texas. He's going Ohio State.

2291
01:51:08,240 --> 01:51:12,559
Speaker 3: That was the first headgear selection, right, What a full

2292
01:51:12,600 --> 01:51:14,679
Speaker 3: circle moment to go Ohio State again?

2293
01:51:15,160 --> 01:51:15,920
Speaker 1: That would be wild.

2294
01:51:16,000 --> 01:51:16,080
Speaker 4: So.

2295
01:51:16,080 --> 01:51:17,880
Speaker 1: I have a story about Lee Corso. When I worked

2296
01:51:17,880 --> 01:51:20,679
Speaker 1: for LASAL So, I worked for FAU then I worked

2297
01:51:20,680 --> 01:51:23,400
Speaker 1: for LASAL in my college sports days. Right after I

2298
01:51:23,400 --> 01:51:26,920
Speaker 1: graduated college, I had some sid work with those two programs.

2299
01:51:27,520 --> 01:51:30,599
Speaker 1: When I worked at LASAL, I went to the Coastsida Convention,

2300
01:51:30,680 --> 01:51:33,360
Speaker 1: which is the Sports Information Directors of Association of America

2301
01:51:33,360 --> 01:51:35,360
Speaker 1: by Blah blah, bah blah convention. They have one every year.

2302
01:51:35,520 --> 01:51:39,280
Speaker 1: It was at Marco Island back in twenty eleven, twenty eleven.

2303
01:51:39,280 --> 01:51:42,000
Speaker 1: It was fourteen years ago, and Lee Corso was the

2304
01:51:42,040 --> 01:51:46,240
Speaker 1: guest speaker and he stayed after his little you know,

2305
01:51:46,280 --> 01:51:50,439
Speaker 1: meet and greet, and he shook every single hand in

2306
01:51:50,439 --> 01:51:52,439
Speaker 1: that room, and he was nice enough to take a

2307
01:51:52,479 --> 01:51:54,400
Speaker 1: picture with me. I posted the picture on my ex

2308
01:51:54,400 --> 01:51:58,479
Speaker 1: account this morning at Jared Smith Betts fourteen years ago

2309
01:51:58,680 --> 01:52:00,479
Speaker 1: and I was so excited to meet him. It was

2310
01:52:00,479 --> 01:52:03,439
Speaker 1: like a hero moment for me and I posted thank

2311
01:52:03,439 --> 01:52:05,280
Speaker 1: you for teaching me and countless others how to let

2312
01:52:05,320 --> 01:52:08,320
Speaker 1: your passion and personality bleed through the screen. And that,

2313
01:52:08,400 --> 01:52:13,280
Speaker 1: to me is what Lee embodies. We're talking about football here,

2314
01:52:13,400 --> 01:52:15,639
Speaker 1: like we're talking about sports. This is fun. People take

2315
01:52:15,680 --> 01:52:18,160
Speaker 1: it very seriously. They get very upset, very angry a

2316
01:52:18,160 --> 01:52:19,840
Speaker 1: lot of times with the back and forth with the

2317
01:52:19,840 --> 01:52:23,120
Speaker 1: media stuff. But this is fun. And I think that

2318
01:52:23,280 --> 01:52:25,600
Speaker 1: is why I love and respect Lee so much is

2319
01:52:25,640 --> 01:52:28,479
Speaker 1: because he taught me a very valuable lesson that you

2320
01:52:28,760 --> 01:52:32,400
Speaker 1: a you are the vehicle that is trying to deliver

2321
01:52:32,560 --> 01:52:35,559
Speaker 1: the football knowledge, the football entertainment to the people. But

2322
01:52:35,800 --> 01:52:38,559
Speaker 1: it is sports. It is fun and it is supposed

2323
01:52:38,560 --> 01:52:40,760
Speaker 1: to be entertaining. And Lee, I wish you the best,

2324
01:52:40,800 --> 01:52:42,840
Speaker 1: my friend. You are an absolute legend.

2325
01:52:42,960 --> 01:52:46,120
Speaker 3: No doubt about that man. He's been a legend for

2326
01:52:46,240 --> 01:52:51,400
Speaker 3: decades literally. And you talk about fitting in, I mean

2327
01:52:51,439 --> 01:52:54,439
Speaker 3: you talk come up with a better fit for college

2328
01:52:54,479 --> 01:52:58,360
Speaker 3: football than Lee Corso with the head gear and you know,

2329
01:52:58,560 --> 01:53:02,400
Speaker 3: making the picks, and he embraced the fun of college football.

2330
01:53:02,400 --> 01:53:05,120
Speaker 3: It's a lot like Dick Vitel with college basketball, Like

2331
01:53:05,160 --> 01:53:06,760
Speaker 3: those guys both got it.

2332
01:53:06,840 --> 01:53:09,559
Speaker 1: They got up. Guys. It's the end of the error

2333
01:53:09,560 --> 01:53:11,800
Speaker 1: for us, Brian, it is, absolutely it is.

2334
01:53:11,840 --> 01:53:14,600
Speaker 3: But man, can you imagine if they put I don't know,

2335
01:53:14,680 --> 01:53:18,719
Speaker 3: Lee Corso in a studio show like inside a building,

2336
01:53:18,880 --> 01:53:22,000
Speaker 3: or he'd be like, eh, you know, but out in

2337
01:53:22,080 --> 01:53:25,840
Speaker 3: the open college game day, all the crazy fans behind him,

2338
01:53:25,880 --> 01:53:27,000
Speaker 3: playing to the crowd.

2339
01:53:27,080 --> 01:53:28,000
Speaker 1: He was perfect.

2340
01:53:28,600 --> 01:53:31,839
Speaker 3: He was a perfect fit for college football, and college

2341
01:53:31,840 --> 01:53:36,360
Speaker 3: football benefited from him for so long. And it really

2342
01:53:36,439 --> 01:53:39,720
Speaker 3: is Listen, man, as I'll say this. That stood out

2343
01:53:39,760 --> 01:53:41,280
Speaker 3: to me too, because I had a stroke a couple

2344
01:53:41,320 --> 01:53:44,240
Speaker 3: of months ago. It was crazy, like out of nowhere,

2345
01:53:44,240 --> 01:53:47,960
Speaker 3: May fifth, and I was sitting there and I'm not

2346
01:53:48,000 --> 01:53:50,679
Speaker 3: trying to be dark at all, because Lee Corso suffered

2347
01:53:50,680 --> 01:53:53,080
Speaker 3: a stroke, and I think what stood out to me

2348
01:53:53,439 --> 01:53:56,360
Speaker 3: as like I couldn't speak very well and they were

2349
01:53:56,360 --> 01:54:00,240
Speaker 3: giving me like the blood clot busting drug. There was

2350
01:54:00,240 --> 01:54:03,080
Speaker 3: a blood clot in my brain and in that you know,

2351
01:54:03,120 --> 01:54:06,080
Speaker 3: those minutes, however long it took, I couldn't speak very

2352
01:54:06,120 --> 01:54:09,240
Speaker 3: well and I could think fine, could think fine, and

2353
01:54:09,600 --> 01:54:12,439
Speaker 3: I thought of Lee Corso. I was like, not only

2354
01:54:12,479 --> 01:54:18,080
Speaker 3: have the people around him been very loving and gracious

2355
01:54:18,200 --> 01:54:22,519
Speaker 3: and patient. He's been really patient with himself. You think

2356
01:54:22,560 --> 01:54:24,400
Speaker 3: about That's what really stood out to me when I

2357
01:54:24,479 --> 01:54:27,600
Speaker 3: was having that stroke, is like, man, it's really I

2358
01:54:28,560 --> 01:54:30,320
Speaker 3: know what I want to say. I just can't say

2359
01:54:30,320 --> 01:54:33,400
Speaker 3: it right now, you know. And for Lee Corso to

2360
01:54:33,440 --> 01:54:36,840
Speaker 3: have patience with himself and to really work as hard

2361
01:54:36,880 --> 01:54:39,560
Speaker 3: as he has to work on a speech and to

2362
01:54:39,600 --> 01:54:42,600
Speaker 3: be as healthy as possible, hats off to him because

2363
01:54:42,640 --> 01:54:45,680
Speaker 3: I think that's often overlooked. We look at man Espn

2364
01:54:45,800 --> 01:54:49,160
Speaker 3: really stood by him. He had patience with himself that

2365
01:54:49,200 --> 01:54:51,160
Speaker 3: whole time too. That can't be overlooked.

2366
01:54:51,880 --> 01:54:55,160
Speaker 1: Totally agree, and in what we do in this space,

2367
01:54:56,280 --> 01:55:01,120
Speaker 1: your word is everything. Like the ability to put words

2368
01:55:01,120 --> 01:55:04,040
Speaker 1: together and make it sound like a melody, like a symphony,

2369
01:55:04,200 --> 01:55:08,960
Speaker 1: like an orchestra, is what separates us from everyone else.

2370
01:55:09,000 --> 01:55:11,120
Speaker 1: Do it like that is what makes you unique in

2371
01:55:11,160 --> 01:55:15,120
Speaker 1: this space, is how you put those words together, your cadence,

2372
01:55:15,160 --> 01:55:17,520
Speaker 1: your tone, your rhythm, how you're able to up go

2373
01:55:17,680 --> 01:55:19,880
Speaker 1: up and down based off of what you're talking about.

2374
01:55:20,520 --> 01:55:23,440
Speaker 1: And if you take that away, it's like taking an

2375
01:55:23,440 --> 01:55:25,120
Speaker 1: athlete and chopping one of his legs off.

2376
01:55:25,320 --> 01:55:25,560
Speaker 3: Right.

2377
01:55:25,840 --> 01:55:28,960
Speaker 1: It's a debilitating thing to take your words away from

2378
01:55:29,000 --> 01:55:33,440
Speaker 1: a broadcaster. I can't imagine what was going through his

2379
01:55:33,560 --> 01:55:35,280
Speaker 1: mind when he was, you know, going through that. And

2380
01:55:35,320 --> 01:55:37,600
Speaker 1: same for you, Brian. I remember the night that I

2381
01:55:37,600 --> 01:55:40,960
Speaker 1: think it was Scott Shapiro, are our executive who you know,

2382
01:55:41,200 --> 01:55:43,000
Speaker 1: sent us that that you were, you know, going through

2383
01:55:43,000 --> 01:55:45,600
Speaker 1: some stuff, and that was the first thing I thought.

2384
01:55:45,640 --> 01:55:47,160
Speaker 1: I was like, man like I I it would be

2385
01:55:47,200 --> 01:55:49,920
Speaker 1: it would be awful for me to go through that,

2386
01:55:50,000 --> 01:55:53,120
Speaker 1: because to me, that is everything as a broadcaster, is

2387
01:55:53,120 --> 01:55:55,280
Speaker 1: how you are able to put words together. So kudos

2388
01:55:55,280 --> 01:55:57,400
Speaker 1: to you, Kudos to Lee, anyone else suffering. I had

2389
01:55:57,400 --> 01:55:59,920
Speaker 1: a family member go through a stroke a few years ago.

2390
01:56:00,040 --> 01:56:01,720
Speaker 1: It is not fun, like you have to learn how

2391
01:56:01,720 --> 01:56:05,440
Speaker 1: to do everything over again. It's really really difficult. So weird,

2392
01:56:06,120 --> 01:56:08,800
Speaker 1: you know, bittersweet vibes because we love Leave so much.

2393
01:56:09,080 --> 01:56:11,960
Speaker 1: But I think what's best for him, obviously at this point,

2394
01:56:12,080 --> 01:56:14,200
Speaker 1: is to move on and focus on his life, focus

2395
01:56:14,200 --> 01:56:15,840
Speaker 1: on his health, focus on his family, and we wish

2396
01:56:15,920 --> 01:56:17,360
Speaker 1: him the best because he is I don't think there'll

2397
01:56:17,400 --> 01:56:19,760
Speaker 1: be ever again one of one to do what he

2398
01:56:19,800 --> 01:56:22,040
Speaker 1: did for the college football media community.

2399
01:56:22,120 --> 01:56:25,800

2440
01:58:28,200 --> 01:58:32,440
Speaker 8: I think Texas's defense is smothering. I think Ohio State's

2441
01:58:32,480 --> 01:58:35,960
Speaker 8: going to be overwhelmed sometimes trying to move the football.

2442
01:58:36,880 --> 01:58:38,560
Speaker 8: I like them on the money line, but for the

2443
01:58:38,560 --> 01:58:40,840
Speaker 8: purposes of rapid fire. I'll take the point and a

2444
01:58:40,920 --> 01:58:44,200
Speaker 8: half on the road for the Longhorn. Moving on to

2445
01:58:44,920 --> 01:58:47,640
Speaker 8: ten State hosting the VATA forty two and a half

2446
01:58:47,680 --> 01:58:51,320
Speaker 8: point favorite. I think their twos could hang forty points

2447
01:58:51,320 --> 01:58:54,840
Speaker 8: on Nevada, So I'll take the favorites defending their home

2448
01:58:54,880 --> 01:58:57,560
Speaker 8: surf in a happy valley. Give me Penn State favored

2449
01:58:57,600 --> 01:59:00,000
Speaker 8: by forty two and a half. That is a ridiculous number.

2450
01:59:01,120 --> 01:59:05,560
Speaker 8: A less ridiculous number. Bama favored by fourteen against Florida State.

2451
01:59:06,120 --> 01:59:09,560
Speaker 8: I like what you said about their running back, Richard Young.

2452
01:59:09,920 --> 01:59:12,720
Speaker 8: I think they're gonna run wild on Florida State defense.

2453
01:59:13,160 --> 01:59:16,720
Speaker 8: Give me Bama covering the fourteen points against that best you.

2454
01:59:17,800 --> 01:59:20,480
Speaker 1: I love it. Two of the three are the same.

2455
01:59:20,640 --> 01:59:22,600
Speaker 1: I'm on Texas as well. Plus one and a half

2456
01:59:22,640 --> 01:59:25,640
Speaker 1: at Ohio State. Of course, Buckuy's new starting quarterback arch Man.

2457
01:59:25,680 --> 01:59:28,440
Speaker 1: He's got a little more experience Ohio State, replacing both

2458
01:59:28,680 --> 01:59:31,200
Speaker 1: of the coordinators. I think Texas does get some cat

2459
01:59:31,240 --> 01:59:34,240
Speaker 1: and bow revenge at the shoot today, and how can

2460
01:59:34,280 --> 01:59:38,240
Speaker 1: I not lay it with Penn State. Rich James Franklin

2461
01:59:38,360 --> 01:59:41,120
Speaker 1: knows the number. You don't think he does. They've had

2462
01:59:41,280 --> 01:59:46,080
Speaker 1: four forty plus point covers in the last four games

2463
01:59:46,120 --> 01:59:48,040
Speaker 1: again four to oh eight ts whin the spread is

2464
01:59:48,080 --> 01:59:51,080
Speaker 1: thirty seven and a half or higher. For James Franklin

2465
01:59:51,120 --> 01:59:53,080
Speaker 1: at Penn State. Remember when they beat Ken State fifty

2466
01:59:53,120 --> 01:59:55,320
Speaker 1: six oher last year they were driving late to get

2467
01:59:55,360 --> 01:59:58,360
Speaker 1: the score. To cover the spread. The Boosters had to

2468
01:59:58,360 --> 02:00:01,640
Speaker 1: pay Jim Knowles's salary. I think Franklin gets one back

2469
02:00:01,680 --> 02:00:03,480
Speaker 1: for the Boosters today. Fenn State with the big cover

2470
02:00:03,520 --> 02:00:05,880
Speaker 1: over Nevada. At Georgia laying thirty eight and a half

2471
02:00:06,120 --> 02:00:09,080
Speaker 1: against Marshall Thundering Herd lost their head coach and like

2472
02:00:09,160 --> 02:00:11,840
Speaker 1: their entire team. Charles huff Now at Southern Myths took

2473
02:00:11,880 --> 02:00:13,640
Speaker 1: like the whole team with them. And how about this

2474
02:00:13,960 --> 02:00:18,200
Speaker 1: FBS versus FBS matchups sixteen and oh straight up fifteen

2475
02:00:18,240 --> 02:00:21,400
Speaker 1: and one against the spread when the spread is thirty

2476
02:00:21,440 --> 02:00:23,680
Speaker 1: seven and a half points are higher in the opening game.

2477
02:00:23,720 --> 02:00:26,120
Speaker 1: I think Georgia gets a big win emphatically and covers

2478
02:00:26,120 --> 02:00:27,040
Speaker 1: the spread against Marshall.

2479
02:00:27,480 --> 02:00:29,640
Speaker 3: I got some unders and underdogs for you.

2480
02:00:29,840 --> 02:00:30,360
Speaker 1: How about that?

2481
02:00:30,560 --> 02:00:33,680
Speaker 3: Huh? I'm going with Hookum gimme him plus point and

2482
02:00:33,720 --> 02:00:36,440
Speaker 3: a half reasons you guys mentioned you know.

2483
02:00:37,920 --> 02:00:41,600
Speaker 1: I've mentioned more, but I don't have time you guys

2484
02:00:41,640 --> 02:00:44,320
Speaker 1: covering it through. I'm gonna go Rich. You mentioned this

2485
02:00:44,360 --> 02:00:45,280
Speaker 1: as well. I like it too.

2486
02:00:45,400 --> 02:00:48,879
Speaker 3: Jeremiah Smith under seventy eight and a half receiving yards.

2487
02:00:49,160 --> 02:00:51,320
Speaker 3: I'm a bit worried able keeping the state of Ohio.

2488
02:00:51,400 --> 02:00:53,879
Speaker 3: Remember when Jacoby Brissett was with the Browns.

2489
02:00:54,160 --> 02:00:54,440
Speaker 1: PJ.

2490
02:00:54,560 --> 02:00:56,160
Speaker 3: Walker is like, you gotta advise to me. He's like,

2491
02:00:56,200 --> 02:00:58,480
Speaker 3: throw it to Marie Cooper. Say anything else, No, just

2492
02:00:58,480 --> 02:01:01,080
Speaker 3: throw it to Marie Cooper. US about that, And I've

2493
02:01:01,080 --> 02:01:04,600
Speaker 3: got Miami hosted Notre Dame under fifty and a half
