But man, 28 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 4: I will say this about the NFL, and I know 29 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 4: we're gonna be getting headlong into college football, bino, But 30 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 4: how about primetime this year? 31 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 3: So far? 32 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 4: Only really one clunker? That one between the Bills in 33 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 4: Miami was pretty good on Thursday night. I appreciated the 34 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 4: effort of the Dolphins catching all the way up, you know, yeah, my. 35 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: Fins showed up and it was tied at halftime. I 36 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,919 Speaker 1: felt like they won, like the divisional round of the playoffs, 37 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: you know, really against the Bills on the road night. 38 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: It's so sad how far the Fins have fallen. I 39 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: felt that good at halftime. But hey man, they played well. 40 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: It was just a botched blocked punt attempt and a 41 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: bad interception by Tua. That's what did them in. But 42 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: hey man, they fought pretty hard other. 43 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 4: And I know there's no moral victories in football overall. 44 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 4: For the fans, you want wins, for the players, you 45 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 4: want wins, But for coaches, for a general manager who's 46 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 4: sort of singing for their soup right now, trying not 47 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 4: to get fired. 48 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 3: I mean that that might have helped. That might have helped. 49 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: It definitely helped for a week, right, Like, so we'll 50 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: see next time they lay an egg, story might change. 51 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: But when you said prime Time Rich, it made me 52 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: think of Deon Sanders. It made me think of Primetime, right, 53 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: Coach Prime Now, But there was a great tidbit from 54 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 1: last week. You had Colorado on the road. They lost 55 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: against Houston. But what a fun fact at the end 56 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 1: of this game. Check this out from ESPN. 57 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 3: But what did Deonce Sanders tell us? I cry every 58 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 3: time I watch Rudy? I love underdogs. 59 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: How about that Coach Prime getting missed the eyed watching 60 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: Rudy over there? 61 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 3: You kidding me? That's beautiful? That is crazy. 62 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 4: That is crazy because Rudy is one of those movies 63 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 4: that bothers me more than almost any movie on the planet. Well, 64 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 4: what Rudy was essentially was a pain in the ass. 65 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 4: Rudy was a practice player who didn't know how to 66 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 4: practice correctly. Yeah, Like, like Rudy wasn't doing what was 67 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 4: good for the team. 68 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 3: He was doing what was good for Rudy. Think about it, 69 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 3: like he's. 70 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 4: Out there going to million miles an hour, potentially hurting 71 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 4: starters who are gonna go out there and perform for 72 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 4: the fighting irish. I mean, he was a liability. They 73 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 4: should have cut him, they should have got him off 74 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 4: the team. And he's he's made, making all these players nuts, 75 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 4: and then he's lionized and he's carried off the field 76 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 4: in this moment where he gets some play. The truth 77 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 4: is it almost it almost feels like it was. It 78 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 4: was one of those moments for those players where it's like, 79 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 4: oh my god, maybe if we like give him one 80 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 4: opportunity to get out there, he'll leave us alone at practice, 81 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 4: like you know what I mean. Like it's truly the 82 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 4: story is built around like this team accepting Rudy and 83 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 4: he's a hard work guy and all that stuff, but 84 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 4: in actuality, Rudy was a really selfish teammate and a 85 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 4: terrible teammate. 86 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 1: You are a crazy person this morning. First off, here's 87 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 1: the thing. He's given a great view to the starters 88 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: of what Saturday is gonna be. 89 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 3: Like, you know, like he's. 90 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: Selfless and rich. Who's the injuring He's five foot nothing, 91 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: he's one hundred and nothing, but hardly a speck of 92 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 1: any athletic talent or whatever the he got injuring anyone. 93 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: He just going a million miles per hour over there. 94 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. 95 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I guess I guess that is true, if 96 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 4: if all of that was true, because I've never looked 97 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 4: up the actual stats on the real Rudy Rudiger. But uh, 98 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 4: but you know what's actually funny, And don't quote me 99 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 4: on this because this was a long time ago, long 100 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 4: time ago, and I don't want to put words into 101 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 4: this guy's mouth, But was it Montana. 102 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 3: I remember somebody. 103 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 4: Was talking about yeah, yeah, talking about Rudy and they 104 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 4: were like that movie was not true. That guy and 105 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 4: I think he also confirmed, and that guy was kind 106 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 4: of a pain in the ass, and like it was 107 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 4: like this whole thing where it was like it was 108 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 4: like that moment of you know, over the span of 109 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 4: this long illustrious playing career and broadcasting career and obviously 110 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 4: Joe is football royalty.

It was Joe said that, and 118 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: uh yeah, like you're paraphrasing, but along those lines, right like, yeah, 119 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: it was a little uh, a little Hollywood that story 120 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: right there. 121 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 3: You know. 122 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,359 Speaker 1: But for a minute, look, most of the show, aside 123 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:26,239 Speaker 1: from this segment or Rich's trashing a great American picture, 124 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: and the rest of the show is going to be 125 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: looking forward to a great Saturday slate. We got some 126 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: great games. But for a minute, I think we should 127 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: look back because last Saturday, that Georgia win over Tennessee. 128 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,039 Speaker 1: That was an instant classic. And I'll tell you what 129 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: great comeback for the Dogs and Gunners. Stocked in, they're 130 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: down by eight points, he throws a dime for a touchdown, 131 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: they get the two point conversion, tied up, Tennessee misses 132 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 1: a kick at the end of regulation, Georgia wins it 133 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: in overtime. It was an un believable game, and man, 134 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 1: heartbreak hotel for Tennessee. 135 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 3: You kidding me. 136 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 1: They lose their ninth straight game to Georgia in that 137 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: fashion at home. Crazy, But that is college football right there. 138 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: That game was just a chef's kiss. 139 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 5: It was beautiful, It really was. 140 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 3: It truly was. 141 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 4: You know, there's some there's some intestinal fortitude in moments 142 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 4: like that where you need to like, you know what. 143 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 4: I was actually talking to a college football head coach 144 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 4: this week about this where you're you're generating your own 145 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 4: energy on a sideline because whether you're playing at home 146 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 4: or you're playing on the road, all the outside stuff 147 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 4: going on, whether you have the fans behind you or 148 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 4: against you, it's just noise. 149 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 3: It's just noise. 150 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 4: Like the truth is, you can only control the moment, 151 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 4: so somehow as a head coach when the tides against you, 152 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 4: And that's really truly what it feels like in a 153 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 4: football game, and as a former player and anybody who's 154 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 4: coached this game, they'll all tell you the same thing, 155 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 4: winning and losing and being down in a game or 156 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,239 Speaker 4: ahead in a game. It feels like a force of nature. 157 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 4: Like so if you're behind, you are battling the current. 158 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 4: And everybody's had this feeling. Who's been in the ocean 159 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 4: when the current's sweeping you out to see it's almost 160 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 4: like you gotta go with it. If you try to 161 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 4: fight it, you're gonna tire yourself out and you're gonna 162 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 4: end up drowning. So there are moments in a football 163 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 4: game where you almost have to like swallow your pride 164 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 4: and take some losses. And maybe you don't want to punt. 165 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 4: Maybe you want to be aggressive on fourth down, but 166 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,199 Speaker 4: it's what's best for the situation. Maybe you don't want 167 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 4: to admit that this crowd is too loud right now, 168 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 4: and you need to pin the offense, the opposing offense 169 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 4: deep and play a little defense and play a little 170 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 4: chess to battle your way back into this one. But 171 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 4: that's what's right right now. You got to allow the 172 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 4: current to carry you a little bit and then start 173 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 4: chipping away. You know, you start swimming parallel to the shore, 174 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 4: and then there's a little inroad, so you dip that closer, 175 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:04,839 Speaker 4: and then there's a little bit more and then you 176 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 4: kick a field goal and you're closer to shore, and 177 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 4: then you see the light and then all of a sudden, 178 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 4: you feel it like the momentum shifts and now you're 179 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 4: riding a wave towards shore. Don't screw it up. Don't 180 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 4: screwed up, because you fall too far back, you'll miss 181 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 4: the momentum of the wave. If you get too far 182 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 4: ahead of your your your buogey board, you'll go head 183 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 4: over heels and you'll be all in the wash. You 184 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 4: just gotta hit it just right. And that's what Georgia did. 185 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 4: They controlled their emotions, they went with the current, they 186 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 4: stayed with the plan, They believed in themselves. They got 187 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 4: back into the game. And I give a ton of 188 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 4: credit to Kirby, I give a ton of credit to Gunner. 189 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 4: I thought that was a tremendous performance. 190 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: It was. That was an awesome, awesome game. And I 191 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: know every Tennessee fan is like, oh, yeah, it was 192 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: so awesome. Let me tell you. 193 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 3: Like but just in. 194 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: Terms of like a college football game with drama and 195 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: crazy twists, that one delivered. Man, and uh, I hate 196 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: to throw the out there, but another classic ending was 197 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: that Notre Dame Texas A and M game, which was insane. 198 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,599 Speaker 1: And that was the final leg of the parlay. We 199 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: hit our parlay last week on the show Rich. That 200 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: was you given out Texas A and M minus six 201 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,079 Speaker 1: and a half. How crazy was that with the spread 202 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: like the game, the spread, Notre Dame's up, they score 203 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: a touchdown. It was tied. They score a touchdown. All right, 204 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: let's just tack on the point after try. Oh, our 205 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: holder just botched it completely bogular, perfect snap. They just 206 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: fumbled it, you know, dropped the ball. No extra point, 207 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 1: so they're only up by six, so they're not covering 208 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: the six and a half point spread. And then lo 209 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: and behold Texas A and M. They score a touchdown. 210 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: It's fourth and goal from the eleven. From the eleven, 211 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 1: and Texas A and M finds a way to throw 212 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: a touchdown pass. All I have to do is kick 213 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: the extra point. They have the lead. They win the 214 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: game forty one to forty. Crazy. Now, I will say, rich, 215 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: as a former offensive lineman, on that game winning touchdown 216 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: throw by A and M. How is there not holding call? 217 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: There is an offensive lineman who tackles a d lineman 218 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: in the middle of the play. I don't know how 219 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: that isn't called. I just wanted to point that out now, 220 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: crying myself to sleep because Notre Dame's defense was freaking 221 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: atrocious that whole game. So I'm not begging for a 222 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: holding call to bail them out, but you know, it 223 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: was the game winning throw. Should have been called wasn't 224 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 1: and here the Irish are in two. Let me ask 225 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: you this, does it make sense or does it not 226 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: make sense that Notre Dame is ranked right now they're 227 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: zero to two and they're still ranked number twenty four 228 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: in the country. 229 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 4: Well if okay, So if you look at the rankings 230 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 4: and you look at them in a vacuum and you 231 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 4: say this is about who are the teams who are 232 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 4: playing best now, well, then you're absolutely right. There's an 233 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 4: argument to have Notre Dame fall out of the top 234 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 4: twenty five. But we know that's not what the rankings are. 235 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 4: They're not built in a vacuum. They're taking into account potential, 236 00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 4: they're taking into account strength of schedule ahead, They're taking 237 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 4: into account how hard you played good teams so far, 238 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 4: and what the perspective is on those teams you've lost to. 239 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 3: You know, if a. 240 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 4: Team loses, say okay, I'll use my alma mater. Say 241 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 4: Penn State scheduled Ohio State, which they didn't. They scheduled 242 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 4: only cupcakes to start their season. But say they scheduled 243 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,439 Speaker 4: Ohio State game two and they lost to them. 244 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,359 Speaker 3: I don't know, twenty four to twenty one. Right, Ohio State. 245 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 4: That's very different than if they lost to Villanova. 246 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 3: Twenty four to twenty one. 247 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 4: You know, that close loss counts for almost more than 248 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 4: if they beat Villanova by forty because you are three 249 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 4: points away from being a win over one of the 250 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 4: best teams in the nation, versus taking care of business 251 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 4: against a team you should take care of business. So, 252 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 4: if we live in a vacuum, an zero two Notre 253 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 4: Dame team falls out of the top twenty five. But 254 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 4: if we are going to include every single aspect of evaluation, 255 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 4: Notre Dame still deserves to be ranked. 256 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 3: I mean, that quarterback put on a show. Uh CJ. 257 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 3: Carr looked great. There were mistakes, there's no question. 258 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,839 Speaker 4: But I think Notre Dame can contend with the best 259 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 4: teams in this country and they've shown that. So I 260 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 4: think they still deserve to be ranked. Yeah, I do too. 261 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: There's an argument on the other side, for sure, because 262 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: this is the first OH to two team that's ranked 263 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: since nineteen eighty eight. This has been a long time 264 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: since there's been an OH to two team that's ranked, 265 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: and Notre Dame again, their defense has been atrocious. They've 266 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: given sixty eight points in eight hundred and twenty seven 267 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: yards in two games. Hikes since their losses to Miami 268 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: and Texas A and M. But we get back to 269 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: your point, though, Rich is right now more than ever, 270 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 1: the emphasis is who you played, who you beat, and 271 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,079 Speaker 1: now also who you lost to, right, Like, how impressive 272 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: are those teams you lost to? And Notre Dame they 273 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 1: lost to two teams are currently in the top ten 274 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: by combined four points? Right, those close games could have 275 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: gone either way, and Notre Dame dropped sixteen spots in 276 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: the Ape pole after losing the Texas A and M. 277 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 1: Did you want them to drop eighteen spots? You're right, right, 278 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: after losing to a team that's currently in the top ten. 279 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: So yeah, I do think that they deserve to be ranked. 280 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: That's just too far of a drop with how close 281 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: those games have been and how quality their opponents have been. 282 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: So I think it makes sense. And now the slow 283 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: climb begins for them. If they can just start stacking 284 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: wins against mostly bum teams, you know they're ranking is 285 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: going to go upwards. 286 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 4: So and I look at college football, and Brian, I'm 287 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 4: sure you do too much like I look at college 288 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 4: basketball now with a twelve team playoff, with the fact 289 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 4: that you know who you slate as your non conference 290 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 4: competition matters greatly in terms of how Ken Palm or 291 00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 4: Bart Torvik or any of these other you know ratings list. 292 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 3: You you know, NC double A has. 293 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 4: Their NC two A ranking sites, and the power rankings 294 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 4: are important. 295 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 3: You know, this quad one. 296 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 4: Victory versus this Quad four loss, you know that could 297 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 4: be a huge swing. Those two may cancel each other 298 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 4: out versus you know, if you have a close Quad 299 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 4: one loss and a couple of Quad two narrow victories, 300 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 4: well that quad one close loss may account for more 301 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 4: than even like beating a team by a couple of 302 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 4: points who's ranked fifty through one hundredth in the country 303 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 4: right now, Like that's just what it looks like these 304 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 4: days in college basketball because they're trying to fill out 305 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 4: a sixty four seed bracket, and that's what it's starting 306 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 4: to look like in college football too. So look, I 307 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 4: got no hate against Notre Dame. I think Notre Dame 308 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 4: is a good team who's scheduled a big contest to 309 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 4: open their season, and I give them a lot of 310 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 4: credit for that because there have been some teams I 311 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 4: mentioned it earlier, like State who have scheduled No. One 312 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 4: to start their season, and and that is a route 313 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 4: to go. I don't know if it's the most favorable 314 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 4: route to go, but it's the route they chose. 315 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 3: So I give Notre Dame a lot of credit for 316 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 3: how they've scheduled. 317 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad because you started off with hatred for 318 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: Notre Dame, at least with Rudy. But I'm glad you're 319 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: background track now. Yeah, go Irish, Yes, yes, yes, there 320 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: you go full circle. 321 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 3: Very nice. 322 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: I love that. Yeah, but it's true, right, like to 323 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: put a bow on it. It can't just be who 324 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: you beat. It could be like, hey we beat uab okay, great, 325 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: real proud of you. But and Notre Dames like we 326 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: played Miami and A and m Real tough could have 327 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: won those gimes. Like that's gotta matter to some degree. 328 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: It just has to. So I think the you know, 329 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: the ap pole is saying that. I think the committee 330 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: will say that when when their pole eventually you know, 331 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: is unveiled later in the season. 332 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 5: All right, we're off and running. 333 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: We've got Jared Smith, believe it or not, FSR betting 334 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: analyst will get with him shortly.

But back in the day, at least 392 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,400 Speaker 1: you know he had that, he had that little setting 393 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: on the Yeah, these. 394 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 4: Days it's a little bit more asap rocky and doja kata, 395 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:18,439 Speaker 4: you know. 396 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 3: But all right, life moves on, you evolve a little bit. 397 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 3: I get it, all right. 398 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 1: So we got South Carolina at Missouri, and how about this, 399 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: So we didn't know about Leonora Sellers, the South Carolina quarterback. 400 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 1: He got dinged up. Is he gonna play in this game? 401 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:36,719 Speaker 3: Is he not? 402 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 1: South Carolina got waxed last week by Vanderbilt thirty one 403 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 1: to seven, And so we get word looks like Lenora 404 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: seller is gonna be able to go. Right, he was 405 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 1: upgraded to probable on the SEC availability Report, so looks 406 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: like he's gonna be able to play against Missouri. Missouri 407 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: is still ten point favorites over here, Rich, how about this? 408 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: But it's like, uh, you know, it was our guy, 409 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 1: Seamus McGee from We have them on every Saturday, and 410 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: he went on a mini rant before the season began, 411 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: and he was so right. He was like, oh my gosh, 412 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: every year, all this love for South Carolina and they're 413 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: not gonna do anything just like they always do. Right, 414 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 1: They're gonna lose four five games, and here we are 415 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 1: and it's starting to take form where you're like, all right, 416 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: this team was you know, highly thought of, highly ranked. 417 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: Now they're unranked after getting the doors blown off of them. 418 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: But Lenora Sellars is back and they're ten point underdogs. 419 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,439 Speaker 1: Do you think that it's swung as far as it 420 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: should from what we thought they were where they probably 421 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,640 Speaker 1: aren't right now? The offense has been you know, a disappointment, 422 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: but ten point underdogs at Missouri, You like that does 423 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: that make sense to you? 424 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 4: I mean it does from the standpoint of how Missouri's 425 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,160 Speaker 4: look to this point in the season and how and 426 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 4: how South Carolina has looked. I mean, just looking at 427 00:21:55,600 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 4: Sellers in prabula, the differences are stark. And granted, you know, 428 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 4: the two games this season so far for Miszoo were 429 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 4: against Central Arkansas and Louisiana, But like when they battled, 430 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 4: when they battle, when they're out there, when they're fighting, 431 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 4: there's there's something that Maszoo is that South Carolina isn't. 432 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,199 Speaker 4: If you've been paying attention, you can feel it. There's 433 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 4: certain teams that early in the season click and it 434 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 4: comes together out of training camp and they look like 435 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 4: a team. And then there's certain teams that come out 436 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 4: of the preseason and they kind of look like a 437 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 4: collection of players. And South Carolina and maybe it had 438 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 4: something to do with the injury against Vandy to Sellers. 439 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,679 Speaker 4: Leonora Sellers obviously is going to be the engine that 440 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 4: drives that team Heisman hype and everything in the preseason. 441 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 4: I just don't know. I just don't know if they've 442 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 4: hit their stride as a team yet. And that is 443 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 4: unbelievably important in college football. You can't just be well, frankly, 444 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,199 Speaker 4: in football all together. You just you cannot be a 445 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 4: collection of stars. You can be as talented as you 446 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 4: want to be. But if you aren't playing as a 447 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 4: cohesive unit, you know, meaning offense, defense, special teams, playing 448 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 4: complimentary football, you're not gonna be very good. And so far, 449 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 4: the game Cocks have not looked really good this season. 450 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 7: Good morning, guys, Jay Smith, how are we feeling this morning? 451 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 5: Are we ready to roll Penn State as a bye? 452 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 7: So we're chilling chilling on this on this beautiful Saturday morning, 453 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 7: And I'll be honest, I'm the first first words out 454 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:32,360 Speaker 7: of my mouth. 455 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 5: There's gonna be a hot take. I honestly think Penn 456 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 5: State might have kept the wrong quarterback. 457 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 7: I think the quarterback they should have kept is the 458 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 7: one playing in this missous South Carolina game. 459 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:43,360 Speaker 5: And there's a lot. 460 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 7: Of people that listen to this show that you know, 461 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,199 Speaker 7: our Penn State fans that love us, that might be like, 462 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 7: what the heck is this guy smoking this morning? 463 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:51,199 Speaker 5: You kidding me? 464 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 7: You didn't want to keep Drew Aller, the five star 465 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 7: kid that everybody loved, is going to be projected first 466 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 7: round pick. 467 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:56,719 Speaker 5: I get it. 468 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 7: There's a risk reward quottion involved there, because if if 469 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 7: you keep Drew Aller and he doesn't live up to 470 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 7: the potential. 471 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 5: He was the kid who projected better. That was the 472 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:06,640 Speaker 5: safe route. 473 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,640 Speaker 7: If you keep bo Propuela and it doesn't work out, 474 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 7: you probably get fired. 475 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 5: But what I see from Bow right. 476 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,640 Speaker 7: Now is a kid who is starting to learn how 477 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 7: to play football. 478 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 8: With the live bullets flying. And the numbers are unbelievable. 479 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 7: I mean he now, I know it's Kansas and Louisiana 480 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 7: and Central Arkansas. 481 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 5: It's not Murderer's Row. 482 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 7: But he looks like a kid that really can play. 483 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 7: And Missoo that was the way I was down on 484 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 7: Missoo this year. I had under seven and a half 485 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 7: wins for them, and the reason was they lost Brady Cook, 486 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 7: they lost you know, our best friend Luther Burden. They 487 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 7: lost a ton of other you know, talented offensive players, 488 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 7: and they were kind of on the back end of 489 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 7: the talent scale coming into the season. But the quarterback position, 490 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 7: if you find the right guy, the rest of it 491 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 7: doesn't matter. 492 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 5: And the market has responded. 493 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 7: I mean, you guys, mention at ten point dog to 494 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 7: ten point favorite against South Carolina with the Heisman favorite 495 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 7: coming into the season, one of the Heisman favorites, I 496 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,679 Speaker 7: think it kind of speaks to maybe where these two 497 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 7: quarterbacks are right now. Lenora Sellers is on the outskirts 498 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 7: of the top forty of the efficiency ratings, where Bo 499 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 7: Pabula is in. 500 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 8: The top twenty. 501 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:22,199 Speaker 7: Drew Aller's eighty seventh against Villanova, FIU and Nevada, and 502 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 7: that efficiency ranking adjust for opponent. So it's not just like, oh, well, 503 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 7: you know, it's it's really bizarre how he's handled this situation. 504 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 7: And Bo, I think didn't win the job out of camp, 505 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 7: but now he's really cemented himself as the guy and 506 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 7: he's really impressed in the first three weeks. 507 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's looked really good. The one thing I will say, 508 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: and this isn't it might sound like I'm totally disagreeing. 509 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: I'm really not. The one thing that I would throw 510 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: into the gumbo here, like just one thing to consider 511 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 1: is it's one thing for Aler to look the way 512 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 1: he has against bum competition, and it's another thing for 513 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 1: Prabula to look the way he has against better competition 514 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: like Kansas is like world's better than anyone that Penn 515 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 1: State has faced so far through three games. But if 516 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 1: Penn State said, you know what, Aler, it's been real, 517 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 1: been fun just not real fun. We're gonna get rid 518 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 1: of you and keep this Prebula guy, you know what 519 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: I mean. That's a different layer of expectations of pressure, 520 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 1: you know, that changes it a little bit. So all 521 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 1: I'm saying is I think it would be harder for 522 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: Pribulah to put up the same numbers that he has 523 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 1: if he stayed at Penn State with those factors compared 524 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: to going to Missou starting fresh. That's just one thing 525 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,120 Speaker 1: I would throw out there where you know, if Pribulah 526 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,400 Speaker 1: is putting up these same numbers, then hey, Penn State 527 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 1: fans feel pretty good about it. But if he's not, 528 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: they're like, we got rid of Aller for this freaking guy, 529 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 1: Like he's under the microscope. Every single throw is dissected differently. 530 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: If he stays at Penn State and Drew Aller goes, 531 00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: That's all I would throw out. 532 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 4: There, though, Yeah, and I think that's fair. I think, 533 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 4: let's face it, sometimes in great competition, a plant that 534 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 4: could have had success, you know, amongst maybe weeds, is 535 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 4: going to be diminished by the shade cast by giant 536 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,919 Speaker 4: mighty elms, you know what I mean, Like in the 537 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 4: world of the giants of probula may may have really faded, 538 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 4: you know, in the big ten taking on the likes 539 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,400 Speaker 4: of Oregon in a week. You know, I mean maybe 540 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 4: maybe that stage is too big, and playing at Miszoo 541 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 4: and you know, cutting your teeth against the likes of 542 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 4: Louisiana and Kansas and Central Arkansas, that was the right 543 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 4: tonic to get the best possible play out of him 544 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 4: on a smaller sec stage. Whereas playing in front of 545 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 4: one hundred and ten thousand rabid Penn State fans, if 546 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 4: you don't have an outstanding win against FIU, maybe the 547 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 4: microscope is to magnified on your performance for you to flourish. 548 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 4: Whereas you take that same plant and you take them 549 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,199 Speaker 4: away from the giant elms or the mighty redwoods and 550 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 4: you put them in a field of weeds, and you say, hey, 551 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,120 Speaker 4: you're gonna get plenty of sunlight here. You know, you're 552 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,959 Speaker 4: gonna have some soil to nurture you, and you're not 553 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 4: gonna be against the type. 554 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 3: Of competition you were in that forest over there. 555 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 4: Maybe all of a sudden you sprout a little bit 556 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 4: stronger and you kind of rise above the rest, and 557 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 4: that's what may have happened everybody has different incubation periods. 558 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,439 Speaker 4: Nobody matures at the same rate. We see this in 559 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 4: elementary school, in middle school, we see this in college football. 560 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 4: And so, yeah, I get what you're saying in concept, Jared, 561 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 4: but I kind of agree. 562 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 3: With with with. 563 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 4: With Brian here in the terms of environment makes up 564 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,479 Speaker 4: for a lot of the determining factor of what happens 565 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 4: to these athletes. 566 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 7: It's an interesting conversation because my pushback on that is 567 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 7: Penn State had the perfect soft landing spot this year too. 568 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 3: That's true. 569 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 5: Work him in. 570 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 7: You get three games against Nevada FIU and you know, 571 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 7: the Sisters of the Poor, Whereas now Missouri gets to 572 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 7: play South Carolina and then all of a sudden it's Bama, Auburn, 573 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 7: Vandy A and m Oklahoma who you know, Like like, 574 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 7: so yeah, you get the three games early against the 575 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 7: Weeds and then you go back into the forest. 576 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 5: So it's a listen, obviously you're talking. There's two Penn 577 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 5: State guys on the show. 578 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 7: Nobody wants Drew Aller to succeed more than me. Maybe 579 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 7: Rich is the only other person that wants Drew Aller 580 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 7: to succeed more than me. Here's what I am gleaning 581 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 7: when I talk to my people close to the program. 582 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 5: People loved Bo. They absolutely loved him. 583 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 7: He kind of was like a Trace McSorley rallying figure. 584 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 7: And that was a very tough decision he made last 585 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 7: year in the middle of the college Football playoff to 586 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 7: leave the team, and he was hamstrung by the rules, 587 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 7: the transferporter rules. He had to leave if he wanted 588 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 7: to get that starting job, and he deserved that opportunity 589 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 7: to be a starter. 590 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 5: Hindsight's always twenty twenty, obviously. 591 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 7: But if I had to grade it, talent aler has 592 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 7: more intestinal fortitude, toughness, grittiness. 593 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 5: H I don't know. 594 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 7: I think Bo might have been the guy in that regard. Now, 595 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 7: maybe it won't matter. Maybe Drew will be able to 596 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 7: do enough in the tight moments to get Penn State 597 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 7: to their goal. But I'll be honest. If Bo Prabula 598 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 7: has a great season in the SEC and they go 599 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 7: to Auburn in a few weeks and they go to 600 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 7: Oklahoma down the road and all of a sudden they're 601 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 7: a ten win team in the playoff, man, I mean 602 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 7: that that is something that will be a very. 603 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 5: Big storyline come December. 604 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 7: And I got my popcorn because right now Prabulah has 605 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 7: played significantly better than Drew. The numbers are not even close, 606 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 7: but there's obviously a. 607 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 8: Lot of season left to play. 608 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 1: This isn't just a game.

Ish, right, if they're able 616 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: to beat Michigan at home today, I love a couple 617 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 1: of quotes we gotta throw out there. So this is 618 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 1: about Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood, who he went off last 619 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: week against Central Michigan. He passed for two hundred and 620 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: thirty five yards, he rushed for one hundred and fourteen, 621 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: he totaled three touchdowns, and so interim coach Biff Pogi 622 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 1: gotta love our guy, Biff, former Charlotte head coach He 623 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 1: talked about Rice Underwood and said, I have a Labrador 624 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 1: retriever who could coach that guy. Basically said he's super talented. 625 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: He also said he might actually be Batman. We need 626 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 1: to do a DNA test on him. So I love Biff. 627 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 1: He's filling in for Sharon Moore. Huge matchup today, and 628 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 1: I just it's go time for Nebraska. 629 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 9: Right. 630 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 1: It's Matt Ruhle, it's year three. We've got the quarterback, 631 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 1: we've got the roster is more talented. You got Michigan 632 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: who I don't know, a little bit more of a 633 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 1: wounded animal right this year than in years past. They've 634 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 1: got our interim head coach. They don't have as much talent. 635 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 1: There's no harbor there. This is the time for Nebraska, 636 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 1: is it not? 637 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 3: Yeah? 638 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, it does well. Okay, does it feel like it's 639 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 4: time for Nebraska. 640 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 3: Yeah. 641 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 4: But let me just shift the focus back to Bryce 642 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 4: Underwood just for a minute, because that game against Central Michigan. 643 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,840 Speaker 4: You point out the fact that he passed for over 644 00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,239 Speaker 4: two hundred and thirty yards. He rushed for over one 645 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 4: hundred and ten. I think he finished with one fourteen 646 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 4: on the ground, through the air and on the ground. 647 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 4: Three touchdowns credited to his name. 648 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 3: He's eighteen. He's eighteen years old. 649 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 4: You know, I like to remind people even though we're 650 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 4: talking about millionaires, and I understand that that's become more 651 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 4: commonplace in our paradigm that we're living in now. You know, 652 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 4: there are TikTok superstars who are fourteen years old, and 653 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 4: they've made more money than all of our parents combined, 654 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 4: you know what I mean. Like my mom and dad 655 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 4: were great jobs, hard worker, blue collar people my entire life. 656 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 4: They won't earn what some of these social media influence 657 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,959 Speaker 4: influencers have earned over the course of you know, a 658 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 4: few small years versus their entire careers. Like, so, we're 659 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 4: living in an interesting time where you know, we're these 660 00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 4: are professionals we're talking about, But there's but Like, he's 661 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 4: a college football player and he's eighteen, Like he probably 662 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 4: was pretty recently grounded by mister and missus Underwood for 663 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 4: having the car out too late, and now he's operating 664 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,399 Speaker 4: on the biggest stage of college football and he's doing 665 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 4: amazing things. 666 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 3: So yes, I do think that. 667 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,800 Speaker 4: Somewhere here Nebraska's got to turn a corner as a program, 668 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 4: and why not now? 669 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 3: But man. 670 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 4: If this kid, literally, this kid who's just now old 671 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:39,839 Speaker 4: enough to buy zins and join the military, if he 672 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 4: can find a way to continue this performance against you know, 673 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 4: against bigger competition, against better competition, the sky. 674 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 3: Is a limit. 675 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:55,359 Speaker 4: Underwood can end up being one of those players who 676 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:59,760 Speaker 4: etches his name on college football's you know, hollowed halls. 677 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 3: And you know, on its ann old history. 678 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,320 Speaker 4: It it's but it's a lot of pressure to put 679 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,799 Speaker 4: on a young man's shoulder, and he is a young man. 680 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 5: Yeah, I said this, I think a couple of weeks ago. 681 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 7: We're going to look back on the summer of twenty 682 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 7: twenty five, the preseason of college football, and we are 683 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:21,919 Speaker 7: going to laugh at ourselves because of all the generational 684 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:26,360 Speaker 7: talent talk we were giving to Arch and not giving 685 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:30,400 Speaker 7: to Bryce Bryce of the two guys. And I'm not 686 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:34,160 Speaker 7: saying Arch can't improve and figure things out and become 687 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,439 Speaker 7: a great quarterback in the NFL and all of those things. 688 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,400 Speaker 7: He's very young and he still is learning. But in 689 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:43,800 Speaker 7: terms of like the generational talent discussion, Bryce Underwood is 690 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,759 Speaker 7: the guy now. He also has a lot of growing 691 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 7: up to do. We've seen two very different Michigan teams 692 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 7: so far this year. We've seen the team at home 693 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,759 Speaker 7: against New Mexico and Central Michigan, and we've seen the 694 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 7: team on the road against Oklahoma. My gut says, the 695 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 7: game plan and the vibe of this one will be 696 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 7: much more like the Oklahoma game than the Central Michigan game. 697 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,800 Speaker 5: And I'm actually surprised that they. 698 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,240 Speaker 8: Unleashed Underwood's legs against CMU. 699 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:11,799 Speaker 5: I would have saved him for this game. 700 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 7: I mean, he was running everywhere against CMU last week 701 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,280 Speaker 7: and it was an easy It was like easy pickings, 702 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,800 Speaker 7: like shooting fish in a barrel. This will be a 703 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 7: much different test. How does he handle the road environment. 704 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,759 Speaker 7: Two weeks ago against Oklahoma, very conservative game plan, nine completions, 705 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,360 Speaker 7: twenty four attempts. They ran at thirty five times and 706 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,040 Speaker 7: Oklahoma just kind of kept them at arm's length and 707 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 7: then eventually closed out the game. 708 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 5: That feels like this vibe. But here's the difference. 709 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,800 Speaker 7: The numbers a lot tighter, and I do think Michigan's 710 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 7: defenses is legit. I love wink second year of the scheme, 711 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:50,319 Speaker 7: and I think Rayola I would put him significantly behind 712 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,359 Speaker 7: John Mattier in terms of the things that he can 713 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,600 Speaker 7: do so tighter game. But I agree with you, Brian, 714 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,319 Speaker 7: I think this is the time for Nebraska to kind 715 00:36:58,320 --> 00:36:59,920 Speaker 7: of get that big ten win. 716 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:05,080 Speaker 1: All right, we've got Rich Ornberger.

I do think this 757 00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,880 Speaker 7: is a big day for them, I honestly do. I 758 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:00,840 Speaker 7: think they're going to get across the finish line. I 759 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 7: don't fully trust Bryce Underwood in these big moments just yet. 760 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:06,280 Speaker 5: It this kind of feels like a college wable playoff 761 00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 5: elimination game too. Today in Lincoln. 762 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,440 Speaker 7: So excited to see how we roll here. Dan Key 763 00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,400 Speaker 7: got going last week for Nebraska, and I thought that 764 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,759 Speaker 7: was kind of a big plus for them. And I 765 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 7: do think, you know, there are some negatives here. I 766 00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,799 Speaker 7: think Michigan's defense is legit, but I think we're gonna 767 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:28,360 Speaker 7: see a relatively conservative game plan for Nebraska, and I 768 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 7: hope that they get across the finish line. I'm going 769 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 7: Nebraska money line minus one zh five against Michigan. 770 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:37,319 Speaker 4: Okay, very cool. I'm staying on that game, and I 771 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,400 Speaker 4: think we're going to see a lot offense. I have 772 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 4: questions about Michigan's pass defense, especially on the back end, 773 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:46,880 Speaker 4: against the type of offense Nebraska likes to run. Likewise, 774 00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:52,080 Speaker 4: I think that the rush defense for Nebraska will struggle 775 00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:56,120 Speaker 4: against Michigan's rushing attack. Give me the over on forty 776 00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,680 Speaker 4: seven and a half. I like this game to sail 777 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 4: past that total. I'm comfortable even a couple points higher 778 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,480 Speaker 4: than that. I think there's gonna be a big offensive game. 779 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,080 Speaker 1: Okay, I do like this game, and I like it 780 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,960 Speaker 1: even more because I think the universe is speaking to 781 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,960 Speaker 1: me on this one. Rich, Well, I'm gonna go. I'm 782 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,279 Speaker 1: gonna fade San Diego State. Rich is on the call 783 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,920 Speaker 1: tonight San Diego State game.

And then grasping for 822 00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:27,000 Speaker 4: the golden ring of competing at an even higher level 823 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:27,840 Speaker 4: in the NFL. 824 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:30,960 Speaker 3: But they're still they're still in that. 825 00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,360 Speaker 4: Phase of life where the rest of us, where everybody 826 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,839 Speaker 4: else is making some mistakes, right, you know, going out 827 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,600 Speaker 4: questionable decisions on a Saturday night or Thursday night, you 828 00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:42,800 Speaker 4: know what I mean, Like you're just sort of feeling 829 00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,359 Speaker 4: your way through life, trying to figure it all out. Well, 830 00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:48,520 Speaker 4: guess what. Sometimes that happens at a bar at two am. 831 00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:51,440 Speaker 4: Sometimes it happens on a football field at noon or 832 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,640 Speaker 4: three or seven o'clock Eastern. You never know when it's 833 00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:57,719 Speaker 4: going to strike. And Lagway man did he makes some 834 00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:59,440 Speaker 4: questionable decisions in that game. 835 00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 7: Yeah, this is a tough one for Florida today, it 836 00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:08,120 Speaker 7: really is. And I think bouncing back from that right 837 00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:11,400 Speaker 7: because and I know they played terribly on offense, but 838 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:15,440 Speaker 7: their defense held up against an LSU offense that we 839 00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:19,280 Speaker 7: think is actually pretty good. Here's the difference this week. 840 00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,320 Speaker 7: The one weakness of LSU's offense is their offensive line. 841 00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,880 Speaker 7: It's kind of Swiss cheesy. They make up for it 842 00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,879 Speaker 7: with a really aggressive defense, a great quarterback, some good 843 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:30,280 Speaker 7: running back pieces. 844 00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:33,360 Speaker 5: And some legit receivers on the outside Florida. 845 00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:38,200 Speaker 7: Excuse me, Miami is the opposite Miami's strength. And we've 846 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,080 Speaker 7: discussed this on the show multiple times. Miami might have 847 00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,239 Speaker 7: the best offensive line in the country. In fact, I'll 848 00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:44,840 Speaker 7: say it, Miami has the best. 849 00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:45,920 Speaker 8: Offensive line in the country. 850 00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:50,839 Speaker 7: Alex Mierbaal is an incredible offensive line coach, and they 851 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:52,600 Speaker 7: have two guys on the right side of their line. 852 00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,440 Speaker 7: Francis Miaga the right tackle. He's a first rounder, maybe 853 00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,680 Speaker 7: a top ten pick, attacks the second level and their 854 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:04,160 Speaker 7: right guard and as Cooper, a mass of human six 855 00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:08,600 Speaker 7: six three fifty, like just an absolute manger. And he 856 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:12,760 Speaker 7: blocks his butt off through the echo of the whistle 857 00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 7: quick feet plays with his screws right downhill. So this 858 00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:20,120 Speaker 7: is to me a very different animal this week, right, Brian, 859 00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:21,600 Speaker 7: because Florida raised there. 860 00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:23,279 Speaker 5: It was a win one for the Gipper game. 861 00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,160 Speaker 7: Last week. You just lost to USF. Now you're going 862 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,880 Speaker 7: into Death Valley at night. We've got to raise our 863 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,640 Speaker 7: level and they did. They raised it. They were right there. 864 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:35,839 Speaker 7: Lagway screwed the pooch. Can you raise it again? On 865 00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:39,360 Speaker 7: the road against an in state rival that is significantly 866 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:40,960 Speaker 7: more physical at. 867 00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,440 Speaker 8: The line of scrimmage. That's the question I have for 868 00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:44,239 Speaker 8: Florida this week. 869 00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:48,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, to me, for Florida against Miami, and there's been 870 00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,960 Speaker 1: some Gators money coming in here. It's down to Caines 871 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,879 Speaker 1: favored by seven and a half. It was upwards around 872 00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,319 Speaker 1: nine and a half, but tick down a little bit. 873 00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,520 Speaker 1: But to me, this is good news bad news Florida 874 00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,960 Speaker 1: and for DJ Lagway. So the good news is Miami's 875 00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:08,360 Speaker 1: defense ranks eighty third and yards allowed per dropback. Okay, 876 00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,759 Speaker 1: so there are some things to be exploited there in 877 00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,680 Speaker 1: the past defense. The bad news is, it's kind of 878 00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,799 Speaker 1: what you're alluding to here, Jared. They've got some dudes 879 00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,319 Speaker 1: that can rush the passer too. It's not just that 880 00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,399 Speaker 1: I know Jared's not just talking about he's highlighting their 881 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,759 Speaker 1: offensive line. Miami's offensive line is fantastic, but they got 882 00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,280 Speaker 1: some dudes that can get after the opposing quarterback. Also, 883 00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,960 Speaker 1: this guy Rubin Bain junior. Okay, listen to some of 884 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,000 Speaker 1: his stats so far this season. Eleven pressures, two and 885 00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,720 Speaker 1: a half tackles for loss, one and a half sacks, 886 00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,000 Speaker 1: an interception, and oh, by the way, a forced fumbles 887 00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,160 Speaker 1: as well. That's through three games. It's gonna be a 888 00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,480 Speaker 1: first round pick. So that's the thing. You look at 889 00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:47,840 Speaker 1: the pass defense eighty third for Miami in yards allowed 890 00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,400 Speaker 1: per dropback. But the bad news is you got a 891 00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:54,320 Speaker 1: dude in Ruben Bain Junior who can get after the quarterback. 892 00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:58,200 Speaker 1: And we saw DJ Lagway. You couldn't look more skittish 893 00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:01,960 Speaker 1: last week. The five inner perceptions. It wasn't just one 894 00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,279 Speaker 1: of these, hey man, you gotta give your take your 895 00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,680 Speaker 1: hat off to the dB just made a play there. 896 00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:10,520 Speaker 1: It was like what are you doing? Some of these 897 00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:14,200 Speaker 1: throws were just like what was not again? Really like 898 00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:17,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. It was just a catastrophe, just got 899 00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:20,120 Speaker 1: in his own way and it just snowballed last week. 900 00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:24,799 Speaker 1: But on the road against Miami, top five team, it's 901 00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,960 Speaker 1: got to start off well for DJ Lagway and the 902 00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:31,799 Speaker 1: Florida offense today because they need something positive to go 903 00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:34,920 Speaker 1: their way after what last week. How that unfolded, that 904 00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,319 Speaker 1: was just I don't I have no words other than 905 00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:41,840 Speaker 1: that was like top shelf brutal. The five picks, It 906 00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:42,440 Speaker 1: was awful. 907 00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:43,799 Speaker 3: Here here's my. 908 00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:47,680 Speaker 4: Problem for Florida, or with Florida and how they play, 909 00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:49,280 Speaker 4: it's feast or famine. 910 00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,600 Speaker 3: They they can be really good and show some flashes. 911 00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,440 Speaker 4: Sometimes they have the dogs in the fight, but the 912 00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,280 Speaker 4: problem is they can. 913 00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:59,040 Speaker 3: Be awful at other times. 914 00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:04,640 Speaker 4: I mean downright despicably awful offensively. Right now, they almost 915 00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:10,360 Speaker 4: lead the nation in allowed tackles for loss with twenty three. 916 00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:14,160 Speaker 4: This offensive line has been like Swiss cheez when it 917 00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,359 Speaker 4: comes to the run game. You know, it really is 918 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:21,279 Speaker 4: a difficult time watching them because man like they have 919 00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:24,120 Speaker 4: Like I said, they have the bigs. They have guys 920 00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:26,799 Speaker 4: who are capable of opening some holes, and they do. 921 00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,160 Speaker 4: But then there's other times where you're like, what where 922 00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:33,400 Speaker 4: are they? Like how do you leave another player unblocked? 923 00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,920 Speaker 4: How did that guy get into the backfield? And you 924 00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,040 Speaker 4: look up and it's missed assignments or it's poor technique. 925 00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:41,800 Speaker 4: You know, they have the athletes, they're just not doing 926 00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:46,359 Speaker 4: the job. So you know, there's that point of it. Also, look, 927 00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,040 Speaker 4: Lagway could have thrown six interceptions in that game. 928 00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:53,239 Speaker 3: He threw five. He threw another ball that should have 929 00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:54,439 Speaker 3: been intercepted. 930 00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:59,319 Speaker 4: It's just like, look, there are certain teams and I've 931 00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:01,879 Speaker 4: played on him, I've played on teams like this where 932 00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,000 Speaker 4: you can't get out of your own way, and that 933 00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:07,000 Speaker 4: feels like the Florida Gators right now, and it doesn't 934 00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:11,480 Speaker 4: get easier from here. Consecutive losses against pretty good competition, 935 00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:15,600 Speaker 4: interstate rivalry next, and then you get into the teeth. 936 00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:19,040 Speaker 3: Of this schedule. There's no fair dodging this. 937 00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:21,919 Speaker 4: This is a Florida team that really has to at 938 00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:24,919 Speaker 4: some point draw a line in the sand and say, hey, 939 00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:26,799 Speaker 4: we've gotten beaten up enough. 940 00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:28,640 Speaker 3: It's time to toughen up. 941 00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,880 Speaker 4: Otherwise this could be a disastrous season for the Gators. 942 00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:35,000 Speaker 7: Yeah, Brian, I love what you mentioned about their defensive line. 943 00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:37,239 Speaker 7: I'll throw some other names in there that played really 944 00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,359 Speaker 7: well last week. I know it was against USF, but 945 00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:42,000 Speaker 7: Mezzador and Blount, Blunt, I don't know how to pronounce 946 00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,279 Speaker 7: his last name. We're really good in that game too. 947 00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,120 Speaker 7: And then Marquis Lightfoot's another guy they have off the edge. 948 00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:49,920 Speaker 7: Blunt is a freaking beast six four to two, sixthy 949 00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:53,480 Speaker 7: out of Miami Central. That's a very prestigious program in 950 00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:55,879 Speaker 7: South Florida. He missed the Bathuan game, came back last week, 951 00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:58,680 Speaker 7: had a sack. Mezzador had a sack last week. Ruben 952 00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:02,719 Speaker 7: Bain had seven pressures. Like they are just relentless off 953 00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:06,600 Speaker 7: the edge. And he's So here's the you guys are 954 00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:10,479 Speaker 7: ready for the tinfoil cap theory about this Florida team. 955 00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:12,960 Speaker 5: This is their fourth game of the year. 956 00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:17,720 Speaker 7: Billy Napier's dead man walkin nil matters in this sport, 957 00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,080 Speaker 7: and once you get to four games, you burn your 958 00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:22,960 Speaker 7: red shirt year. And there's gonna be some players I 959 00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,319 Speaker 7: think that are gonna have some really difficult decisions in 960 00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:27,560 Speaker 7: that Florida locker room if this is a blowout today. 961 00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:33,160 Speaker 7: So there is a very real chance. And DJ Lagway 962 00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:35,360 Speaker 7: just to me looks like a quarterback that hasn't practiced. 963 00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:36,120 Speaker 5: He's banged up. 964 00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,520 Speaker 7: He didn't practice a lot in the spring because he 965 00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:40,360 Speaker 7: was injured. He was dealing with I think a hernia 966 00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:43,160 Speaker 7: and then a shoulder and all kinds of different injuries. 967 00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,480 Speaker 7: And he just looks like a really talented quarterback that 968 00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:49,680 Speaker 7: hasn't gotten enough reps. And when you don't get enough 969 00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:52,560 Speaker 7: reps in practice, you start to rely on that talent 970 00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:54,960 Speaker 7: and you start to play hero ball and that's where 971 00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:58,439 Speaker 7: the interceptions come in. So I am concerned that there 972 00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:03,680 Speaker 7: just isn't enough continuity with this Florida offense for them 973 00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:06,640 Speaker 7: to pick themselves off the mat for a second week 974 00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:10,000 Speaker 7: in a row, and I think this test as good 975 00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:10,960 Speaker 7: as LSU is. 976 00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:14,240 Speaker 8: I think this Miami team is legit. 977 00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:18,959 Speaker 5: People. I don't fully trust Mario christoball in those tight sphincter. 978 00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:22,759 Speaker 7: Moments, But Carson Beck, all of a sudden is a 979 00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,600 Speaker 7: willing runner. The one knock on him at Georgia, he 980 00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:27,560 Speaker 7: wasn't willing to put his head down and get the 981 00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:30,719 Speaker 7: tough yards. Go watch the USF tape. They're up two 982 00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:33,720 Speaker 7: scores after rain delay and he is lowering his shoulder 983 00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:36,600 Speaker 7: and barreling over defenders. So if all of a sudden, 984 00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:39,960 Speaker 7: the offensive line's good, Carson Beck's running the ball, the 985 00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:43,640 Speaker 7: defense has dudes off the edge. Where are the holes 986 00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:46,600 Speaker 7: for this Miami team it is? I mean they might 987 00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:51,759 Speaker 7: be a legit college football title contender. And I'll say 988 00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,000 Speaker 7: it right now, September twentieth, mark this down. 989 00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:55,440 Speaker 5: Carson Beck's winning the Heisman. 990 00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:59,080 Speaker 7: I think that schedule and the way that he is 991 00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:03,279 Speaker 7: now running the football, with the weapons they have, I 992 00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:05,080 Speaker 7: think he's winning the Heisman Trophy this year. 993 00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:10,239 Speaker 1: Maybe it's just when does Miami go Miami? You know 994 00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:13,359 Speaker 1: that's the question. Is you mentioned it, Jared Crystal, Paul 995 00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:16,200 Speaker 1: gets tight they do something dumb. They don't take a 996 00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:19,160 Speaker 1: knee when they have the game one, Like there's a 997 00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:22,680 Speaker 1: terrible head all the either's brutal, turnover something. It just 998 00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:25,680 Speaker 1: seems like it's coming. But yeah, that schedule is so 999 00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:28,960 Speaker 1: favorable for the Canes, So we'll see how it unfolds 1000 00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:30,960 Speaker 1: this year if we expand it. Because we're talking a 1001 00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:33,440 Speaker 1: lot about quarterbacks here, Carson Beck, you know, hats off 1002 00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:35,319 Speaker 1: to him. He has played very very well so far 1003 00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:38,040 Speaker 1: this season, I think, and I like that he's running, 1004 00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:40,840 Speaker 1: but it's like, look, why are you trying to barrel 1005 00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:44,160 Speaker 1: over middle linebackers and strong safeties, you know what I mean. Okay, fine, 1006 00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:45,919 Speaker 1: you can get the tough yards, but dude, you got 1007 00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,279 Speaker 1: to remain upright, you know, So get what you can 1008 00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:50,879 Speaker 1: and get down. There's nothing wrong with getting down, It's 1009 00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:52,839 Speaker 1: what I would say. But hats off to him. He's 1010 00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:56,600 Speaker 1: playing well. If we expand this to your top three 1011 00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:01,080 Speaker 1: most disappointing quarterbacks so far this season, right, and there's 1012 00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,919 Speaker 1: a lot of guys to pick from, my list would 1013 00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:06,279 Speaker 1: look like this. I'll go first, real quick. Number three, 1014 00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:10,040 Speaker 1: I'd go DJ Lagway. The five interceptions last week, including 1015 00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:12,560 Speaker 1: a pick six, it's twenty to ten ball game. There 1016 00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:15,560 Speaker 1: were so many quarterback sins in that game it's ridiculous. 1017 00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:19,080 Speaker 1: And there was some talk about people betting on Florida 1018 00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:22,400 Speaker 1: to win a championship this year. There were actual bets 1019 00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:24,440 Speaker 1: being made and a lot of that was because of 1020 00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:28,680 Speaker 1: DJ Lagway's talent, but hasn't been there and he was 1021 00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:31,600 Speaker 1: a disaster last week. I put in number three, number two. 1022 00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:33,680 Speaker 1: I would put arch Manning number two. Believe it or not, 1023 00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,160 Speaker 1: I know that's the guy where you know, it's public 1024 00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:39,160 Speaker 1: enemy number one in terms of getting a ton of 1025 00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:42,080 Speaker 1: you know, a ton of critics and all of that. 1026 00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:44,799 Speaker 1: And he hasn't looked good. He's deserved that. Last week 1027 00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:48,960 Speaker 1: against UTAP terrible. It's average time to throw this year 1028 00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:52,640 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty third. It's three point two eight seconds. 1029 00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:54,279 Speaker 1: It takes him to get rid of the football. He's 1030 00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:56,759 Speaker 1: taking way too long to get rid of the ball. 1031 00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:59,560 Speaker 1: He's slow to process, and he's inaccurate. He had ten 1032 00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:03,359 Speaker 1: straight in completions against UTEP like he's been a disappointment. 1033 00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:06,239 Speaker 1: Number one. I put kid Klubnick. He had over one 1034 00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:10,160 Speaker 1: thousand passing attempts in college. That's way more experience than 1035 00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:13,400 Speaker 1: arch Manning. And I know arch has the name and 1036 00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:16,239 Speaker 1: he had the Heisman expectations. It wasn't the same thing 1037 00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:20,120 Speaker 1: for Club Nick right, But he's been more disappointing with 1038 00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:22,720 Speaker 1: the experience he's had, the amount of reps, the amount 1039 00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,120 Speaker 1: of games and starts in college for him to look 1040 00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:28,319 Speaker 1: like this, I think he's way more disappointing than arch 1041 00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:30,839 Speaker 1: Manning is. But that's my top three. What would your 1042 00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:31,600 Speaker 1: top three look like? 1043 00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:37,000 Speaker 4: Rich I think mine are similar to yours. I would 1044 00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:40,919 Speaker 4: say number one. And it's not really fair because we're 1045 00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:44,120 Speaker 4: talking about a guy who's had so much hype in 1046 00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:48,319 Speaker 4: the preseason and hadn't even started a football game. But 1047 00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:51,600 Speaker 4: Arch Manning, I mean, look, you know it's not his fault. 1048 00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:55,279 Speaker 4: It's it's honestly his namesake that's doing this to him. 1049 00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:58,000 Speaker 4: But there was so much hype, there was so much excitement. 1050 00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:01,719 Speaker 4: I can't help myself into a lot of it. I 1051 00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:04,719 Speaker 4: will temper the fact that I'm putting him at the 1052 00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:06,839 Speaker 4: top of my list with the fact that I also 1053 00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:11,640 Speaker 4: understand that the maturation process of a football player at 1054 00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:16,320 Speaker 4: each level of football, it's it's not linear, it doesn't 1055 00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:18,880 Speaker 4: work in a straight line. It's going to bounce like 1056 00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,560 Speaker 4: the stock market. As long as it's trending up, we're 1057 00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:25,280 Speaker 4: good because we're on this bus for a long ride 1058 00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:28,200 Speaker 4: with Arch Manning and Texas. They'll keep him the starter 1059 00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:30,880 Speaker 4: as long as he's healthy and as long as he's making. 1060 00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:33,759 Speaker 3: That progress, and I think he will. But that's been 1061 00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:35,760 Speaker 3: disappointing Leonora's sellers. 1062 00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:41,120 Speaker 4: Look, your availability is your most important ability. And the 1063 00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:44,680 Speaker 4: unfortunate reality of getting dinged up and then having this 1064 00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,480 Speaker 4: question mark on him, he better have a big game today. 1065 00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:52,000 Speaker 4: We'll see, because I really think this is going to 1066 00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,840 Speaker 4: be an opportunity for he and the game Cocks to 1067 00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:59,840 Speaker 4: start to feather the bed for the massive expectations for 1068 00:54:59,880 --> 00:55:02,400 Speaker 4: the team this season. So far, and I'll agree with you. 1069 00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:05,400 Speaker 4: Lagway DJ Lagway of Florida. Let me give you a 1070 00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:08,560 Speaker 4: stat that's gonna blow your mind. So he's thrown six 1071 00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:14,240 Speaker 4: interceptions five last game. PFF ranks his offensive line fourth 1072 00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:19,080 Speaker 4: in past block No wow, Okay. He hasn't been blitzed 1073 00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:21,840 Speaker 4: during any of his interceptions that he's thrown this season. 1074 00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:26,719 Speaker 4: Teams are playing coverage against him and he's making poor choices. 1075 00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:30,480 Speaker 4: He is playing behind an excellent offensive line. He is 1076 00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:34,360 Speaker 4: not getting pressured and he's making bad decisions. It is 1077 00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:37,480 Speaker 4: a recipe for disaster moving forward. He's got a lot 1078 00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:40,440 Speaker 4: to fix and it's between the ears. So that's that 1079 00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:43,879 Speaker 4: our list are is similar. I only add Sellers to it, 1080 00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:47,800 Speaker 4: whereas uh, I forget who you inserted other than Lagway 1081 00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:50,360 Speaker 4: and Manning at the moment, But yeah, Sellers is on 1082 00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:51,120 Speaker 4: my list. 1083 00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:54,120 Speaker 5: Club Nick, right, Yeah, that's right. You make the case 1084 00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:54,520 Speaker 5: for them. 1085 00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:57,839 Speaker 7: So I obviously I think you guys hit on all 1086 00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:00,000 Speaker 7: of the big ones. I'll give you my number one, 1087 00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:03,440 Speaker 7: which I'm surprised that you guys missed this guy. But 1088 00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:05,680 Speaker 7: I agree with Arch, I agree with Lagway, I agree 1089 00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:07,960 Speaker 7: with Club think. Those guys have been disappointing. Here's my 1090 00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:12,200 Speaker 7: here's my take on Arch. He was set up for failure. 1091 00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,600 Speaker 7: There is there is no way that he was going 1092 00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:18,120 Speaker 7: to live up to the hype that we put on him. 1093 00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:19,920 Speaker 7: And I'm not saying we is this show just in 1094 00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:23,440 Speaker 7: general the media. We Here are some of the quarterbacks 1095 00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:26,120 Speaker 7: that had a higher success rate than Arch Manning so 1096 00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:26,799 Speaker 7: far this year. 1097 00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:27,839 Speaker 3: Oh boy, here we go. 1098 00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:32,759 Speaker 7: Trey Kukuk from Louisiana, tech Dei Kwon Finn from Miami 1099 00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:36,719 Speaker 7: Buhaiel Braden Fowler, Nicolosi, Colorado State, Brandon Rose of U 1100 00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:39,840 Speaker 7: Mass Josh Holst, and I you Bengal Brandson, Stanford Kyron, 1101 00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:40,759 Speaker 7: I can keep going. 1102 00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:41,640 Speaker 5: It's a long list. 1103 00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:44,439 Speaker 7: He's like one hundred and twenty fourth on the list 1104 00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:47,480 Speaker 7: of success rate quarterbacks this year, so he's obviously on 1105 00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:51,600 Speaker 7: my top three. I think between Lagway and Club Nick, 1106 00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:55,640 Speaker 7: I think Lagway's been more disappointing, but he's also been 1107 00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:58,480 Speaker 7: less available because of the injury. So I think Club 1108 00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:01,600 Speaker 7: Nick is number two on my So it's Arch three, 1109 00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:05,680 Speaker 7: Club Nick two. And guys, how can we not put 1110 00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:07,240 Speaker 7: Nico on this list? 1111 00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:08,320 Speaker 3: Oh? 1112 00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:12,440 Speaker 7: I mean goodness, gracious and the re okay. So I 1113 00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:15,600 Speaker 7: know the expectations were lower at UCLA. But the reason 1114 00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:18,240 Speaker 7: Nico's on this list for me is because he did 1115 00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:22,560 Speaker 7: it to himself. He put himself in this position. He 1116 00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:25,320 Speaker 7: asked for more money. He went from making two million 1117 00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:27,880 Speaker 7: dollars in a state with no income tax. Then he 1118 00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:30,919 Speaker 7: got really bad advice, decided that he wanted to up 1119 00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:33,360 Speaker 7: the enny and now he's making less than that in 1120 00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:35,440 Speaker 7: a state with the highest income tax in the country. 1121 00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:38,600 Speaker 7: One of the worst business decisions in the history. 1122 00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:39,200 Speaker 5: Of college football. 1123 00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:42,080 Speaker 7: And then, oh, by the way, your first three games 1124 00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:45,840 Speaker 7: you get deep pants by New Mexico and Utah and 1125 00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:49,440 Speaker 7: UNLV and you just get completely outplayed in those three games. 1126 00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:53,840 Speaker 7: So I think Nico has to be on the Folly 1127 00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:55,000 Speaker 7: list of quarterbacks. 1128 00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:56,479 Speaker 5: He's got to be number one for me. 1129 00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:57,600 Speaker 3: All right. 1130 00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:00,960 Speaker 1: That is Jared Smith FSR Betting and list Rich Orenberger 1131 00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:04,440 Speaker 1: with US Penn State All American.

Good morning to you, Seamus. You 1154 00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:24,000 Speaker 1: know I can't help it. This is how my brain 1155 00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:27,160 Speaker 1: works on a scale from one to ten. How big 1156 00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:29,640 Speaker 1: of a Mega Death fan are you? That's what I 1157 00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:30,760 Speaker 1: really want to know this morning. 1158 00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:33,560 Speaker 9: Sorry, Jared, I'll say it again. 1159 00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:34,800 Speaker 1: Mega Death. 1160 00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:35,360 Speaker 9: I miss that. 1161 00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:38,520 Speaker 1: Yes, the band Mega Death. It doesn't sound like you're 1162 00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:41,760 Speaker 1: it's like a top of your playlist over there, a Seamus, 1163 00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:43,920 Speaker 1: But that's the music that was just playing. So I 1164 00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:44,480 Speaker 1: was curious. 1165 00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:48,680 Speaker 9: Oh well, clearly huge fan. 1166 00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:55,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, yes, Okay, let me get to football. It's 1167 00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:56,800 Speaker 1: something that you're aware of. 1168 00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:57,320 Speaker 3: You know. 1169 00:59:57,480 --> 01:00:01,240 Speaker 4: Not to ask him about Southeast Missouri states chances over 1170 01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:06,200 Speaker 4: North Dakota you would have had a nuanced take for you. 1171 01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:07,880 Speaker 3: But Mega, that's no chance. 1172 01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:11,520 Speaker 1: But nothing nothing for me over here. How badly do 1173 01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:14,800 Speaker 1: you need Illinois today? Huh Seamus, My gosh, this point 1174 01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:17,800 Speaker 1: spread keeps going up for IU, all this IU money 1175 01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:18,400 Speaker 1: flowing in. 1176 01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:22,479 Speaker 9: I was saying earlier this week, it feels like people 1177 01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:25,360 Speaker 9: are betting this game. With yesterday's paper, it's just been 1178 01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:29,520 Speaker 9: one way traffic IU sharp square. It's looking like we're 1179 01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:33,400 Speaker 9: gonna need Illinois pretty bad. But I will say the 1180 01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:36,640 Speaker 9: past forty eight hours we have seen some buyback on Illinois, 1181 01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:40,080 Speaker 9: kind of easing the need here on the sixth, but 1182 01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:42,640 Speaker 9: the six and a half spread, but four and a 1183 01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:45,920 Speaker 9: half definitely got hit pretty hard. So right now Illinois 1184 01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:48,040 Speaker 9: looking like the best results for the book here. Just 1185 01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:51,280 Speaker 9: covering out right probably does kill at the parlays. 1186 01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:55,920 Speaker 7: Too, seame as I saw our friends behind the desk. 1187 01:00:56,120 --> 01:00:58,200 Speaker 7: Usually John Ewing sends me a report every week the 1188 01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:03,480 Speaker 7: MGM media, and it looks like Michigan is a pretty 1189 01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:06,560 Speaker 7: big bet for the book. And that makes sense because 1190 01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:08,680 Speaker 7: you guys are based, you know, headquarters of Michigan, so 1191 01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:10,840 Speaker 7: usually you get a lot of Michigan money. But the 1192 01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:12,880 Speaker 7: reason why that's intriguing to me is because I'm seeing 1193 01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:15,360 Speaker 7: this line continue to shorten towards Nebraska. So is it 1194 01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:18,200 Speaker 7: one of those situations where the public is on one 1195 01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:20,760 Speaker 7: side and the pros are on the other side, or 1196 01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:23,280 Speaker 7: is it just regional bias towards the Wolverines. 1197 01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:26,880 Speaker 9: Yeah, I saw all week that the wrong team was 1198 01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:31,400 Speaker 9: maybe favorite here too, And within the past you know, 1199 01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:34,080 Speaker 9: forty eight hours, we have gotten a couple of big 1200 01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:38,280 Speaker 9: bets on Nebraska, so the need is kind of starting 1201 01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:41,720 Speaker 9: to turn a little bit. I think by kickoff we 1202 01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:45,000 Speaker 9: could either see a pretty balanced book or you know, 1203 01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:47,480 Speaker 9: just go back to Michigan. But the whole big bets 1204 01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:49,760 Speaker 9: have kind of shifted the need here so far. 1205 01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:52,800 Speaker 3: What about the total on that game? 1206 01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:55,520 Speaker 4: I think last I look, bet MGM has it at 1207 01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:57,959 Speaker 4: forty seven and a half. I took the over during 1208 01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:01,400 Speaker 4: our parlay platter segment. Do you feel like this is 1209 01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:03,200 Speaker 4: going to be a game that can get up there 1210 01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:05,560 Speaker 4: in points or how do you see this one going 1211 01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:07,720 Speaker 4: between Nebraska and the Wolverines. 1212 01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:12,280 Speaker 9: I feel like it's going to be pretty similar to 1213 01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:16,000 Speaker 9: the Michigan Oklahoma game that we saw. I kind of 1214 01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:19,760 Speaker 9: disagree with this move towards the over. I feel like this, 1215 01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:27,960 Speaker 9: oh both, I don't know. I haven't seen. I mean, 1216 01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:31,240 Speaker 9: Nebraska's offense the last two weeks has looked great against cupcakes, 1217 01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:34,760 Speaker 9: but I didn't see anything in Cincinnati that really wowed me. 1218 01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:38,280 Speaker 9: I even been really impressed with Michigan's offense so far, 1219 01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:40,400 Speaker 9: and I think both defenses will be able to keep 1220 01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:41,000 Speaker 9: things close. 1221 01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:44,240 Speaker 1: Yeah. How about one of the bigger games today, We've 1222 01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:47,760 Speaker 1: got Auburn against Oklahoma. What do you see in that one? 1223 01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:48,360 Speaker 3: Who do you like? 1224 01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:52,520 Speaker 9: Another weird? I mean, it's a really good slate, Like 1225 01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:55,480 Speaker 9: this is almost like a bubble game right here. If 1226 01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:59,280 Speaker 9: this is March madness. I feel like this game. Oklahoma's 1227 01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:00,960 Speaker 9: got a lot of attention from better in the past 1228 01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:04,560 Speaker 9: couple of weeks, especially off that win against Michigan they had. 1229 01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:06,760 Speaker 9: So we're gonna be run for Auburn plus six and 1230 01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:07,400 Speaker 9: a half here. 1231 01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:10,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, this is a very honestly, I see a lot 1232 01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:13,800 Speaker 7: of college we all playofflimination games. I think that Illinois 1233 01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:16,400 Speaker 7: Indiana game losers out. I feel the same way about 1234 01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:20,120 Speaker 7: Michigan and Nebraska another intriguing one, and this one has 1235 01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:22,800 Speaker 7: probably put you in a pretzel all week because we 1236 01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:25,800 Speaker 7: have no idea who is playing quarterback for South Carolina. 1237 01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:27,600 Speaker 5: We have a better sense of it now. 1238 01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:30,280 Speaker 7: But earlier in the week, Leonoris was in, he was out, 1239 01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:32,240 Speaker 7: he was in, he was out. But I think the 1240 01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:37,000 Speaker 7: real story here is Leonora is in. Miszoos still double 1241 01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:41,200 Speaker 7: digit favorites, and to me that's more positive for Missouri 1242 01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:44,200 Speaker 7: and Bo Pabula than it is maybe about Lenora Sellers. 1243 01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:46,240 Speaker 7: But this game has probably been a really difficult one 1244 01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:47,040 Speaker 7: to book this week. 1245 01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:50,640 Speaker 9: Yeah, it's a kind of bouncing all over the place here. 1246 01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:53,280 Speaker 9: It's still been pretty much Missouri money all week. A 1247 01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:56,440 Speaker 9: lot was just because no one knew about Sellers. I 1248 01:03:56,560 --> 01:03:59,480 Speaker 9: thought it Sellers was if he was in. I thought 1249 01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:01,720 Speaker 9: this was the US through a touchdown. But I just 1250 01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:05,560 Speaker 9: think there is still a bit of injury worry with Sellers, 1251 01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:07,800 Speaker 9: which is why you see this still sitting, you know, 1252 01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:10,680 Speaker 9: pretty high for Missouri. And Ragill has been a very 1253 01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:13,160 Speaker 9: popular Heydsmen ticket the past couple of weeks, I might 1254 01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:16,880 Speaker 9: say as well, So, uh, the country's definitely starting to 1255 01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:17,560 Speaker 9: take notice. 1256 01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:17,800 Speaker 3: Of the zoo. 1257 01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:22,840 Speaker 1: All right, Sam, I'll go ahead, Rich, Yeah, yeah, just 1258 01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:23,520 Speaker 1: one last one. 1259 01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:27,200 Speaker 4: We're having a conversation, Seamus, and this is less about 1260 01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:30,920 Speaker 4: lines or totals and more about your opinion on what 1261 01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:35,440 Speaker 4: we've seen so far in terms of quarterback play. If 1262 01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:38,880 Speaker 4: you could name one quarterback that you think hasn't been 1263 01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:42,800 Speaker 4: living up to their maybe even lofty expectations in the 1264 01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:46,440 Speaker 4: preseason so far, seamous, which quarterback would you would you 1265 01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:47,720 Speaker 4: put that label on? 1266 01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:52,960 Speaker 9: I mean, there's the easy answer here with with Archie 1267 01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:55,360 Speaker 9: Manning here, But you know what, I gotta say, a 1268 01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:56,160 Speaker 9: kid club. 1269 01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:57,360 Speaker 8: Neck like IQ. 1270 01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:02,920 Speaker 9: He's getting the number one overall pick scheme, he's getting 1271 01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:05,800 Speaker 9: the Heisman love. I can't remember last time I watched 1272 01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:10,400 Speaker 9: Clemson play a big game. Bill mcle is the best 1273 01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:13,400 Speaker 9: player on the field. I really don't think I've ever 1274 01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:16,840 Speaker 9: had that opinion of him. I every time the spot 1275 01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:20,680 Speaker 9: don't see we never see him really perform. The question 1276 01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:26,439 Speaker 9: is after how never like elite? I don't know that. 1277 01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:28,680 Speaker 9: I'm way more disappointed with him than I am with 1278 01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:29,280 Speaker 9: arch Manning. 1279 01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:33,040 Speaker 1: Amen preaching to the choir, Seamus McGee voice of reason 1280 01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:33,600 Speaker 1: right there. 1281 01:05:33,720 --> 01:05:33,880 Speaker 9: You know. 1282 01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:36,400 Speaker 1: I love when we're on the same page. Every now 1283 01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:38,960 Speaker 1: and then it happens. You know, it's good. It is 1284 01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:42,120 Speaker 1: time for the Seamous Special. Where are you going for us? 1285 01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:42,440 Speaker 3: Today? 1286 01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:42,600 Speaker 9: Here? 1287 01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:43,560 Speaker 1: Seamus? What you got? 1288 01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:47,280 Speaker 9: There's some great games this week. We talked about Michigan, Nebraska. 1289 01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:50,920 Speaker 9: We talked about Auburn, Oklahoma. We got some rivalry games 1290 01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:55,640 Speaker 9: with the Oregon and Washington today. But I really can't 1291 01:05:55,680 --> 01:06:02,480 Speaker 9: take my eyes off this Harvard Stetton game today. Harvard starts. 1292 01:06:02,520 --> 01:06:05,200 Speaker 9: It's opening day for Harvard. They got to go two 1293 01:06:05,240 --> 01:06:08,960 Speaker 9: steps in playing thirty five and a half now thirty 1294 01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:10,800 Speaker 9: six and a half, thirty seven a half depends where 1295 01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:12,560 Speaker 9: you can get it right now. Steps. 1296 01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:13,320 Speaker 5: It is not good. 1297 01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:17,200 Speaker 9: They got their doors boned off by an Okay, Chattanooga 1298 01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:21,080 Speaker 9: team last week. But they come home, they played for 1299 01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:24,200 Speaker 9: they played three games already this season. They got Hervard, 1300 01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:26,320 Speaker 9: who is coming into the first game season. They got 1301 01:06:26,360 --> 01:06:29,760 Speaker 9: Brown next week at home. I think this is a 1302 01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:31,960 Speaker 9: weird spot for them to be laying thirty seven and 1303 01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:35,520 Speaker 9: a half. I am, you know, holding my breath.

All right, one of 1330 01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:50,280 Speaker 1: the games that we threw at, Seamus was Illinois at Indiana. 1331 01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:54,440 Speaker 1: Indiana is up to a seven point favorite. Money has 1332 01:07:54,560 --> 01:07:57,760 Speaker 1: been pouring. The spread is doubled. Right, was it a 1333 01:07:57,840 --> 01:07:59,920 Speaker 1: three and a half on Monday? It's up to seven? 1334 01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:03,959 Speaker 1: Now is this? Do you think this is Indiana buy 1335 01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:07,200 Speaker 1: in or Illinois fading? Which do you think it is 1336 01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:09,959 Speaker 1: more of? Because it's both, It's certainly both here. 1337 01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:13,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, I was gonna say the easy answer is both, 1338 01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:14,000 Speaker 4: and I. 1339 01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:16,200 Speaker 3: Think it is. 1340 01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:18,640 Speaker 4: I think that a lot of people don't believe in 1341 01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:22,400 Speaker 4: Illinois and likewise do believe in Indiana. And I think 1342 01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:25,800 Speaker 4: some of this is name recognition and recency bias, and 1343 01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:29,559 Speaker 4: I think some of this is you know, the eyeball test. 1344 01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:32,439 Speaker 4: I mean, what you've seen to this point. I mean 1345 01:08:32,479 --> 01:08:36,479 Speaker 4: we could, we could say, and I don't think this 1346 01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:39,680 Speaker 4: would be lying. Both of these teams come into this 1347 01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:44,759 Speaker 4: game with legitimate college football playoff hopes. I also would 1348 01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:51,439 Speaker 4: say that both of them have been dominated over the 1349 01:08:51,479 --> 01:08:56,040 Speaker 4: past couple of years by just sort of where their 1350 01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:59,839 Speaker 4: program has either escalated or fallen to as a result 1351 01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:05,200 Speaker 4: of opinion. I think that betting lines sometimes reflect what 1352 01:09:05,240 --> 01:09:07,960 Speaker 4: we actually see and know about teams, and I think 1353 01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:12,080 Speaker 4: sometimes they're more reflective of feelings, like the stock market. 1354 01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:16,559 Speaker 4: Certain stocks, they IPO and you say to yourself, wow, 1355 01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:19,519 Speaker 4: this is going to go bonkers. 1356 01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:20,000 Speaker 3: And they fall flat. 1357 01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:24,080 Speaker 4: And then sometimes you know a stock IPOs and it 1358 01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:28,759 Speaker 4: goes bananas, and then in actuality that business isn't as great. 1359 01:09:28,840 --> 01:09:31,920 Speaker 4: It's too early in the season to make bold proclamations 1360 01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:34,240 Speaker 4: about what the Hoosiers or the Ali and I are 1361 01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:38,280 Speaker 4: going to be. But this one feels to me like 1362 01:09:38,360 --> 01:09:43,200 Speaker 4: the like the betting public is basing these picks off 1363 01:09:43,240 --> 01:09:46,960 Speaker 4: of opinions on Illinois not being up to the hype, 1364 01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:50,599 Speaker 4: or opinions on Indiana maybe getting hyped up too much. 1365 01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:53,639 Speaker 5: Yeah, the number was intriguing. 1366 01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:55,439 Speaker 7: I mean it was five and a half over the summer, 1367 01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:59,280 Speaker 7: so it's not like we're way far off from where 1368 01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:05,280 Speaker 7: the initial expectation was. But yes, I would have expected 1369 01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:07,320 Speaker 7: this to be maybe a little bit tighter because I 1370 01:10:07,360 --> 01:10:09,320 Speaker 7: don't think the first three games right. Illinois had a 1371 01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:12,080 Speaker 7: nice win, went on the road beat Duke. You would 1372 01:10:12,080 --> 01:10:14,720 Speaker 7: have expected maybe a little bit of respect from that win, 1373 01:10:14,840 --> 01:10:17,120 Speaker 7: but the market has said, no, we don't really care 1374 01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:21,160 Speaker 7: about that win. Indiana kind of struggle with ODU in 1375 01:10:21,200 --> 01:10:23,920 Speaker 7: week one, then they blasted Kennesaw and then man, they 1376 01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:25,400 Speaker 7: really blasted Indiana State. 1377 01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:27,240 Speaker 5: I mean that was seventy three to nothing. 1378 01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:27,840 Speaker 3: That was whoa. 1379 01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:32,040 Speaker 7: Illinois had some nice wins, right Like I faded Illinois 1380 01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:33,880 Speaker 7: last week. I thought it was a weird spot against 1381 01:10:33,920 --> 01:10:38,160 Speaker 7: the Western Michigan, but they coasted. This feels like a 1382 01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:42,120 Speaker 7: college ball play efflimination game. Here's why Illinois in the 1383 01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:44,439 Speaker 7: future has to play USC and Ohio State. I think 1384 01:10:44,439 --> 01:10:47,840 Speaker 7: those are two losses for Illinois. Indiana travels to Oregon 1385 01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:50,840 Speaker 7: and Penn State. I think those are two losses for Indiana. 1386 01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:54,280 Speaker 7: So I'm booking both of these teams for two losses 1387 01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:57,920 Speaker 7: in the future. That means if you lose this game, 1388 01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:02,160 Speaker 7: your ceiling is nine to three with no ranked wins. 1389 01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:04,680 Speaker 7: That doesn't feel like it's enough to get into the 1390 01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:08,639 Speaker 7: college football playoff. So you have to win this game. 1391 01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:12,360 Speaker 7: This game is going to have some juice to it now. 1392 01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:16,400 Speaker 7: I really like Fernando Mendoza. I think that was a 1393 01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:19,320 Speaker 7: really good under the radar get for Indiana in the 1394 01:11:19,360 --> 01:11:22,680 Speaker 7: portal in the offseason. He is top fifteen in efficiency 1395 01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:25,320 Speaker 7: so far. I kind of like Luke Altmeyer. I think 1396 01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:27,599 Speaker 7: he's a perfect quarterback for this system. He's top twenty 1397 01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:30,080 Speaker 7: in efficiency so far through the first three games of 1398 01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:33,840 Speaker 7: the year. Illinois offense has a little bit more explosiveness 1399 01:11:33,880 --> 01:11:37,160 Speaker 7: this year, but I still think at their core belam 1400 01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:41,519 Speaker 7: a bully ball, run play defense. My gut says, the 1401 01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:43,240 Speaker 7: market tends to sniff this out. 1402 01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:43,639 Speaker 3: Right. 1403 01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:46,080 Speaker 7: You look at the rankings and you say, Illinois is 1404 01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:47,960 Speaker 7: a top ten team catching a full touchdown. 1405 01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:51,800 Speaker 5: Let's bet Illinois. But the market kind of sniffs these 1406 01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:52,240 Speaker 5: things out. 1407 01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:54,040 Speaker 7: I think Indiana gets a big win, and I think 1408 01:11:54,040 --> 01:11:56,280 Speaker 7: they if they can again style points matter in this 1409 01:11:56,320 --> 01:11:58,760 Speaker 7: college ball playoff world. I think the if you're gonna 1410 01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:00,960 Speaker 7: lay it, I would look for six and a half, 1411 01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:03,519 Speaker 7: not seven. But I do think Indiana wins this game 1412 01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:03,880 Speaker 7: at home. 1413 01:12:04,680 --> 01:12:07,880 Speaker 1: Man, it's weird how this is fluctuated throughout the week 1414 01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:11,360 Speaker 1: or really just you know, grown toward Indiana, because at 1415 01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:14,799 Speaker 1: the beginning of the week, I'm like, whoa steinky line alert. 1416 01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:19,080 Speaker 1: You know, Indiana is the team that's ten spots lower 1417 01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:22,360 Speaker 1: in the rankings, and they're the team that's favored. I'm like, okay, 1418 01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:24,600 Speaker 1: I you then there's a little more steam. I'm like, 1419 01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:26,760 Speaker 1: all right, all the cool kids are doing it like you. 1420 01:12:26,920 --> 01:12:28,680 Speaker 1: And now it's gotten to the point where I'm like 1421 01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:33,320 Speaker 1: minus seven. I guess the top ten team. It's gotten 1422 01:12:33,360 --> 01:12:37,240 Speaker 1: a little bit too high. I can't lay a number 1423 01:12:37,720 --> 01:12:39,800 Speaker 1: compared to where it was. You know, I just feel 1424 01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:42,519 Speaker 1: like a total sucker. If you know, it's three and 1425 01:12:42,560 --> 01:12:44,000 Speaker 1: a half at the beginning of the week and now 1426 01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:46,920 Speaker 1: I'm laying seven. Still might be the right side, but man, 1427 01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:50,000 Speaker 1: there's no closing line value. If you're backing I you 1428 01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:52,640 Speaker 1: at this point. It's just grown too much. But you 1429 01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:56,000 Speaker 1: guys are right, man. The beatdown against Indiana State, I 1430 01:12:56,040 --> 01:13:01,639 Speaker 1: realize it's Indiana State, but Indiana held the Sycamores, right, 1431 01:13:01,680 --> 01:13:04,000 Speaker 1: Is that right? The Indiana State Sycamores held them to 1432 01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:09,160 Speaker 1: five first downs and seventy seven total yards. That's what 1433 01:13:09,439 --> 01:13:13,160 Speaker 1: Indiana State did last week against IU. So hey, who knows, 1434 01:13:13,200 --> 01:13:15,519 Speaker 1: Maybe IU does cover the seven, but I just can't 1435 01:13:15,560 --> 01:13:18,559 Speaker 1: lay it. It's too much. It's grown too much.

I 1465 01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:05,920 Speaker 1: just thought of all the gamblers too, because Kershaw was 1466 01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:09,320 Speaker 1: you know, the innings pitched. It was at fourteen and 1467 01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:09,719 Speaker 1: a half. 1468 01:15:09,880 --> 01:15:11,400 Speaker 5: Oh no for the end. 1469 01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:13,880 Speaker 1: So he's got to get through five innings.

I mean, you talk about your 1471 01:15:17,120 --> 01:15:21,160 Speaker 1: your soul just dropping, your heart dropped, like lump in 1472 01:15:21,240 --> 01:15:24,320 Speaker 1: your throat. The hold where it's like Dave Roberts just 1473 01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:27,439 Speaker 1: emerges from the dugout to get Kershaw when you need 1474 01:15:27,479 --> 01:15:31,840 Speaker 1: two more outs and you're like, oh no, he's gonna 1475 01:15:31,880 --> 01:15:34,320 Speaker 1: go through five at least, right, be in line for 1476 01:15:34,360 --> 01:15:37,960 Speaker 1: the win. No, no, Dave, not not on his fine Okay, cool, 1477 01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:40,280 Speaker 1: I guess I right for anybody who had the over 1478 01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:42,559 Speaker 1: on the innings pitch. But hey man, that's that's why 1479 01:15:42,560 --> 01:15:45,080 Speaker 1: it's gambling. That's how it goes. All right, we got 1480 01:15:45,120 --> 01:15:47,160 Speaker 1: some props to go over. Let's do this. 1481 01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:52,240 Speaker 2: Drop it up player plays. 1482 01:15:52,720 --> 01:15:55,160 Speaker 1: All right, Jared, we start with you. What's something you like? 1483 01:15:55,560 --> 01:15:58,400 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think Jackson Arnold's gonna have a tough day 1484 01:15:59,280 --> 01:16:02,720 Speaker 7: Auburn Ada Oklahoma today and old Brent Venables. I mean, 1485 01:16:02,720 --> 01:16:06,639 Speaker 7: who knows Jackson Arnold better than Brent Venables. That defense 1486 01:16:06,680 --> 01:16:09,479 Speaker 7: will put you in a torture chamber. Now, Auburn does 1487 01:16:09,520 --> 01:16:11,759 Speaker 7: have a couple of elite receivers, Cam Coleman, Eric Singleton. 1488 01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:13,160 Speaker 5: Singleton's a low, banged up. 1489 01:16:13,360 --> 01:16:15,920 Speaker 7: And Coleman right now kinda is just a straight X 1490 01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:18,960 Speaker 7: vertical receiver, and I think Oklahoma's gonna sniff that out. 1491 01:16:19,040 --> 01:16:20,960 Speaker 7: We're gonna see a lot of quarterback power, a lot 1492 01:16:20,960 --> 01:16:23,800 Speaker 7: of quarterback jet motion in this game. Auburn loves to 1493 01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:25,800 Speaker 7: run the quarterback. You saw Jackson Arnald put on a 1494 01:16:25,840 --> 01:16:28,599 Speaker 7: lot of weight in the offseason. But I think it's 1495 01:16:28,640 --> 01:16:30,920 Speaker 7: gonna be tough with the vertical passing game. I think 1496 01:16:30,960 --> 01:16:33,600 Speaker 7: Oklahoma's gonna take that away. And I don't love the 1497 01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:36,479 Speaker 7: check with me offenses on the road in the SEC. 1498 01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:38,599 Speaker 7: It's gonna be tough for Hugh Freeze to really get 1499 01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:42,200 Speaker 7: those signals in. So I'm thinking Jackson Arnold under very 1500 01:16:42,200 --> 01:16:45,400 Speaker 7: low number one seventy five and a half passing yards 1501 01:16:45,439 --> 01:16:46,679 Speaker 7: over at bet MGM. 1502 01:16:47,400 --> 01:16:53,000 Speaker 4: Okay, I'm gonna take you to Oklahoma Auburn, where the 1503 01:16:53,080 --> 01:16:58,320 Speaker 4: Tigers have one of the best rush defenses in NCAA football. 1504 01:16:58,400 --> 01:17:00,400 Speaker 4: So I think that Oklahoma's gonna have to take the 1505 01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:03,800 Speaker 4: football to the air more often. John Mattier has been 1506 01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:06,240 Speaker 4: careful with the football for the Sooners, one pick so 1507 01:17:06,320 --> 01:17:10,640 Speaker 4: far this season against lesser talented defense. I think he 1508 01:17:10,680 --> 01:17:13,000 Speaker 4: throws a pick today. I think he throws a pick today. 1509 01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:14,559 Speaker 4: I think they're gonna have to force it in the 1510 01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:16,679 Speaker 4: air a little bit. So I'm gonna take the over 1511 01:17:17,360 --> 01:17:20,880 Speaker 4: the half interception for Sooners quarterback John Mattier. 1512 01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:23,200 Speaker 3: That's my prop for you, all. 1513 01:17:23,160 --> 01:17:26,479 Speaker 1: Right, I'm gonna go to this Arizona State Baylor game. 1514 01:17:26,720 --> 01:17:28,880 Speaker 1: Let's get a little nutty at night. I'm gonna go 1515 01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:33,360 Speaker 1: with Arizona State running back Releak Brown. He's the USC transfer. 1516 01:17:33,960 --> 01:17:36,240 Speaker 1: I like over sixty eight and a half rushing yards. 1517 01:17:36,240 --> 01:17:39,919 Speaker 1: I've actually made this bet. Baylor's rush defense is brutal. 1518 01:17:40,080 --> 01:17:44,000 Speaker 1: They're one hundred and twenty fourth in rush yards allowed. 1519 01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:47,800 Speaker 1: They don't tackle well. They's been a disaster with their 1520 01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:51,360 Speaker 1: front seven and Releak Brown is a home run hitter. 1521 01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:55,000 Speaker 1: He's a fast, quick, shifty guy, so to get over 1522 01:17:55,040 --> 01:17:57,640 Speaker 1: sixty eight and a half, I actually love it. I 1523 01:17:57,680 --> 01:18:01,360 Speaker 1: think that Sam Levitt, the ASU quarterback, is live too. 1524 01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:04,280 Speaker 1: He's at forty one and a half, mobile quarterback. There's 1525 01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:06,759 Speaker 1: some plays to be made on the ground with his legs. 1526 01:18:06,760 --> 01:18:09,479 Speaker 1: But I'll go with Rleak Brown again, home run hitter 1527 01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:12,760 Speaker 1: against a brutal rush defense. I don't look for that 1528 01:18:12,840 --> 01:18:17,360 Speaker 1: to change in this matchup. So give me Releak in Releak. 1529 01:18:17,439 --> 01:18:20,360 Speaker 3: I trust Releak very nice. 1530 01:18:20,560 --> 01:18:23,240 Speaker 7: Yeah, I was thinking about I was thinking about some 1531 01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:25,160 Speaker 7: other props that I like. I think everyone's down on 1532 01:18:25,200 --> 01:18:27,160 Speaker 7: Club Nick today as we just talked about there in 1533 01:18:27,200 --> 01:18:27,960 Speaker 7: our segment. 1534 01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:29,879 Speaker 5: But this Syracuse pass. 1535 01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:33,160 Speaker 7: Defense guys, I mean, they're giving up big plays to Yukon. 1536 01:18:33,720 --> 01:18:37,280 Speaker 7: So I think if there ever was a spot where 1537 01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:41,080 Speaker 7: Antonio Williams is back today and he the Club Nick numbers. 1538 01:18:41,080 --> 01:18:45,240 Speaker 7: I did a research article on this earlier with Antonio 1539 01:18:45,240 --> 01:18:48,000 Speaker 7: Williams on the field, Club Nick goes from like a 1540 01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:50,320 Speaker 7: two hundred yard per game passer to like two sixty, 1541 01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:52,920 Speaker 7: and the Clemson offense goes from twenty four points per 1542 01:18:52,960 --> 01:18:56,879 Speaker 7: game to thirty four, So I feel like everyone's running 1543 01:18:56,960 --> 01:19:00,559 Speaker 7: to jump off the Dabo train, and this kind of 1544 01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:02,920 Speaker 7: feels like a bounce back spot for clemb I'm not 1545 01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:05,800 Speaker 7: saying Clemson's a national title contender, but this is Syracuse 1546 01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:08,720 Speaker 7: at home, and you're getting your top weapon back. So 1547 01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:12,160 Speaker 7: I'm looking at club Knicks numbers right now, and I 1548 01:19:12,479 --> 01:19:14,639 Speaker 7: think this is I think this is the spot for him. 1549 01:19:14,720 --> 01:19:16,160 Speaker 7: I mean, two sixty nine and a half is a 1550 01:19:16,160 --> 01:19:16,960 Speaker 7: pretty low number. 1551 01:19:18,040 --> 01:19:21,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, he could get there. It's it's good because 1552 01:19:21,720 --> 01:19:23,680 Speaker 1: it's gross, you know what I mean, where you're like that, 1553 01:19:23,880 --> 01:19:26,559 Speaker 1: My gosh, two sixty nine and a half. This guy's 1554 01:19:26,600 --> 01:19:30,000 Speaker 1: had a hard time throwing for two hundred yep. But yeah, 1555 01:19:30,160 --> 01:19:32,880 Speaker 1: I hear you on that. How about one to chew one? 1556 01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:36,960 Speaker 1: How about Devin dan Pierre over with Utah taking on 1557 01:19:37,040 --> 01:19:40,000 Speaker 1: Texas Tech. He runs it a lot. It's a high 1558 01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:43,720 Speaker 1: number these rushing yards from college quarterbacks. Right the sack 1559 01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:48,559 Speaker 1: yardage counts against you. It's at sixty six and a half. Wow, 1560 01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:51,120 Speaker 1: that's a that's a high number. But this dude's had 1561 01:19:51,320 --> 01:19:55,040 Speaker 1: at least one fourteen yard rush in every game this season. 1562 01:19:55,400 --> 01:19:57,680 Speaker 1: He's gonna tuck it quite a bit. They're gonna have 1563 01:19:57,720 --> 01:20:00,120 Speaker 1: designed runs for him. I can see him go and 1564 01:20:00,200 --> 01:20:02,120 Speaker 1: over that, But man, I can I wouldn't fault you 1565 01:20:02,160 --> 01:20:03,479 Speaker 1: if you think sixty six and a half is a 1566 01:20:03,479 --> 01:20:06,240 Speaker 1: little too high to take the over all, right. 1567 01:20:06,280 --> 01:20:11,200 Speaker 4: Like Jeremiah Love over his rushing total today against Purdue, specially. 1568 01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:13,920 Speaker 1: After now you're speaking my language, now you're back rich, 1569 01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:17,800 Speaker 1: They're like he was talking trash about rooting at the 1570 01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:20,439 Speaker 1: beginning of the show, Jared, can you believe that? All right, 1571 01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:22,280 Speaker 1: it might be the marquee matchup of the day. We'll 1572 01:20:22,320 --> 01:20:25,560 Speaker 1: get to that coming up. Oh, good morning, Happy Saturday 1573 01:20:25,640 --> 01:20:29,760 Speaker 1: to you. Is it all on this Skuy's shoulders.

All Right, we've got Auburn at Oklahoma sooners 1581 01:20:52,800 --> 01:20:56,240 Speaker 1: favored by six and a half and you've got the 1582 01:20:56,280 --> 01:21:00,679 Speaker 1: return of Jackson Arnold, right, former Oklahoma quarterback now with Auburn, 1583 01:21:01,120 --> 01:21:02,880 Speaker 1: So he's back to face his former mates. 1584 01:21:02,920 --> 01:21:03,080 Speaker 4: Here. 1585 01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:06,120 Speaker 1: Started nine games for the Sooners last fall. It was bad, 1586 01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:09,360 Speaker 1: but you know that's ancient history. He's with the Auburn 1587 01:21:09,439 --> 01:21:13,360 Speaker 1: now taking on Oklahoma and Brent Venables, right, it's former 1588 01:21:13,400 --> 01:21:16,800 Speaker 1: head coach Venables. He knows the weak spots, right, That's 1589 01:21:16,840 --> 01:21:19,080 Speaker 1: something to keep in mind. Then on the other side, 1590 01:21:19,080 --> 01:21:22,760 Speaker 1: when Oklahoma has the ball, Oklahoma hasn't been able to 1591 01:21:22,800 --> 01:21:25,840 Speaker 1: run it very well. Auburn's rush defense is really good. 1592 01:21:25,880 --> 01:21:29,680 Speaker 1: So the question is this all on Matier right to 1593 01:21:29,760 --> 01:21:33,040 Speaker 1: move the ball? Like, if you're not able to run it, 1594 01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:36,520 Speaker 1: it's the John Mattier show throwing it and running it himself. 1595 01:21:36,800 --> 01:21:40,760 Speaker 1: And that's really what the Oklahoma offense is presenting thus far. 1596 01:21:40,840 --> 01:21:43,040 Speaker 1: And that might be exactly what's going on in this game. 1597 01:21:43,080 --> 01:21:45,439 Speaker 1: Still might be enough to get the win because Matier 1598 01:21:45,479 --> 01:21:48,639 Speaker 1: has been really, really good, But man, I hate when 1599 01:21:49,200 --> 01:21:52,280 Speaker 1: a game is like solely on one guy's shoulders, right, 1600 01:21:52,360 --> 01:21:54,000 Speaker 1: And I know he's got an offensive line in front 1601 01:21:54,040 --> 01:21:55,760 Speaker 1: of him and all that type of stuff, But when 1602 01:21:55,800 --> 01:21:59,120 Speaker 1: you don't have a running game, to move the ball. 1603 01:21:59,200 --> 01:22:01,400 Speaker 1: It is on the quarterbacks. So we'll see if Matier 1604 01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:05,040 Speaker 1: is up for that. If that's the situation we see today, and. 1605 01:22:04,920 --> 01:22:08,360 Speaker 4: That's why improp it up I took matiir over the 1606 01:22:08,479 --> 01:22:11,200 Speaker 4: half interception because I think he's gonna have to force 1607 01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:15,479 Speaker 4: some footballs into some tight windows because at some point 1608 01:22:15,479 --> 01:22:19,439 Speaker 4: in the game, when the offense is leaning on you 1609 01:22:19,520 --> 01:22:23,559 Speaker 4: to be everything, and I think that is what it's 1610 01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:27,880 Speaker 4: going to look like today for Oklahoma, you will make 1611 01:22:27,960 --> 01:22:32,280 Speaker 4: some choices that maybe you usually don't make. Perfect example, 1612 01:22:32,920 --> 01:22:36,080 Speaker 4: you're Miami Dolphins. They were taking on the Buffalo Bills 1613 01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:38,200 Speaker 4: on Thursday Night football, to a tongue of II Looa 1614 01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:40,479 Speaker 4: played a game where he was careful with the football 1615 01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:44,680 Speaker 4: the entire game except for one bad throw, and that 1616 01:22:44,720 --> 01:22:48,880 Speaker 4: one proved costly and you cannot have a mistake against 1617 01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:52,320 Speaker 4: a team that good. The Buffalo Bills took advantage of it, 1618 01:22:52,800 --> 01:22:55,439 Speaker 4: and the rest is history. And I think the final score, 1619 01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:59,400 Speaker 4: whatever it was thirty one twenty one or whatever the 1620 01:22:59,439 --> 01:23:02,000 Speaker 4: margin victor was for the Buffalo Bills, does not tell 1621 01:23:02,040 --> 01:23:04,759 Speaker 4: the story because I think that was a closer game 1622 01:23:05,240 --> 01:23:07,320 Speaker 4: than it actually showed in. 1623 01:23:07,280 --> 01:23:08,000 Speaker 3: The box score. 1624 01:23:09,479 --> 01:23:12,280 Speaker 4: Obviously, they were tied at one point, but I digress 1625 01:23:12,400 --> 01:23:14,840 Speaker 4: on Thursday Night football to focus on this one. I 1626 01:23:14,880 --> 01:23:18,799 Speaker 4: feel similarly, I feel like Oklahoma's got all the talent 1627 01:23:18,920 --> 01:23:21,479 Speaker 4: to beat the Auburn Tigers with, but it is going 1628 01:23:21,479 --> 01:23:25,599 Speaker 4: to rest squarely on John Mattier, his decision making and 1629 01:23:25,640 --> 01:23:29,599 Speaker 4: his ability to operate without making too many mistakes, because 1630 01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:31,759 Speaker 4: the margins are going to be pretty thin here against 1631 01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:37,040 Speaker 4: a very very stout Tigers defensive front, especially defending the run. 1632 01:23:37,720 --> 01:23:40,600 Speaker 7: Agreed line was Oklahoma minus six over the summer. I 1633 01:23:40,640 --> 01:23:42,280 Speaker 7: haven't seen a ton of movement off of that. I 1634 01:23:42,280 --> 01:23:45,800 Speaker 7: think at seven, you're gonna see the Auburn bye. I 1635 01:23:45,800 --> 01:23:47,880 Speaker 7: think if it's under a touchdown, I feel good with 1636 01:23:47,920 --> 01:23:51,519 Speaker 7: Oklahoma here. Nobody knows Jackson Arnot better than Bret Vannables. 1637 01:23:51,560 --> 01:23:54,560 Speaker 7: Brian you nailed it, and I think knowing the weaknesses 1638 01:23:55,000 --> 01:23:58,439 Speaker 7: really makes this a tough situation for Arnold. Now here's 1639 01:23:58,439 --> 01:24:00,880 Speaker 7: what to watch for in this game. You're gonna see 1640 01:24:00,880 --> 01:24:04,840 Speaker 7: a lot of quarterback power off of jet motion. When 1641 01:24:04,880 --> 01:24:07,920 Speaker 7: I watch Auburn's offense, that's what they love to run. 1642 01:24:07,960 --> 01:24:09,519 Speaker 7: In fact, they ran it on the first play of 1643 01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:12,800 Speaker 7: the game last week against South Alabama and South Alabama 1644 01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:15,200 Speaker 7: was unable to set the edge and turn the jet 1645 01:24:15,240 --> 01:24:17,960 Speaker 7: motion back inside. I think Oklahoma's gonna be able to 1646 01:24:17,960 --> 01:24:21,559 Speaker 7: do that. So that means it's Jackson Arnold's legs, and 1647 01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:23,679 Speaker 7: I think that's the key in this game. Can Jackson 1648 01:24:23,800 --> 01:24:26,880 Speaker 7: Arnold make enough plays with his legs to keep the 1649 01:24:26,920 --> 01:24:30,679 Speaker 7: Oklahoma defense honest? Whichever defense is more prepared to stop 1650 01:24:30,720 --> 01:24:33,000 Speaker 7: the plus one run game? What do I mean by 1651 01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:36,800 Speaker 7: plus one? If the quarterback is a runner, you get 1652 01:24:36,800 --> 01:24:39,599 Speaker 7: to use your running back as a plus one blocker, 1653 01:24:40,160 --> 01:24:42,439 Speaker 7: and that, to me is the key to this game. 1654 01:24:42,720 --> 01:24:44,160 Speaker 5: Here's the problem for Auburn. 1655 01:24:44,160 --> 01:24:46,920 Speaker 7: When I watched the Auburn tape last week against South Alabama, 1656 01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:50,720 Speaker 7: Hugh Freeze was in Jackson Arnold's ear up until the 1657 01:24:50,800 --> 01:24:53,640 Speaker 7: snap right. The quarterback now can communicate it really the 1658 01:24:53,680 --> 01:24:55,880 Speaker 7: other way around. The coach can communicate with the quarterback 1659 01:24:56,200 --> 01:25:00,679 Speaker 7: with that you know, headset situation. I don't think that's 1660 01:25:00,680 --> 01:25:03,000 Speaker 7: gonna work in this spot. You're on the road, the 1661 01:25:03,040 --> 01:25:05,280 Speaker 7: crowd's going nuts. I don't even know if Jackson Arnot's 1662 01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:07,599 Speaker 7: gonna be able to hear the plays half the time. 1663 01:25:07,680 --> 01:25:11,000 Speaker 7: So this check with me, RPO offense, I don't know 1664 01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:13,719 Speaker 7: if it's gonna work in the SEC. And it kind 1665 01:25:13,720 --> 01:25:16,720 Speaker 7: of feels like this is a spot for Oklahoma to 1666 01:25:16,840 --> 01:25:20,679 Speaker 7: really plant the flag. We are a college football playoff 1667 01:25:20,720 --> 01:25:23,600 Speaker 7: title contender. We are a team that needs to be 1668 01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:26,040 Speaker 7: taken seriously. We've got a legit defense, We've got a 1669 01:25:26,080 --> 01:25:30,519 Speaker 7: Heisman quarterback. I think Auburn is in for a world 1670 01:25:30,520 --> 01:25:32,800 Speaker 7: of pain against this Oklahoma defense today. 1671 01:25:32,840 --> 01:25:33,240 Speaker 5: But who knows. 1672 01:25:33,320 --> 01:25:35,400 Speaker 7: Jackson Arnold maybe can pull a rabbit out of his hat. 1673 01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:37,519 Speaker 7: He's gonna have to be electric with his legs. 1674 01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:38,240 Speaker 2: Man. 1675 01:25:38,320 --> 01:25:41,960 Speaker 1: That's the thing, is I hear you right? It's it's 1676 01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:45,040 Speaker 1: almost push push territory, you know, right, Like you know 1677 01:25:45,080 --> 01:25:48,439 Speaker 1: it's coming, but it's still hard to stop Auburn. You 1678 01:25:48,479 --> 01:25:50,840 Speaker 1: know the running game is coming, and it's still gonna 1679 01:25:50,840 --> 01:25:53,760 Speaker 1: be hard to stop. Oklahoma does play really good rush defense, though, 1680 01:25:54,200 --> 01:25:57,080 Speaker 1: So that's the question I have. If Auburn's running game 1681 01:25:57,240 --> 01:25:59,800 Speaker 1: is held in relative check, how do you feel about 1682 01:25:59,840 --> 01:26:03,679 Speaker 1: All's chances? Now, if Oklahoma's running game is held in check, 1683 01:26:04,000 --> 01:26:06,040 Speaker 1: how do you feel about Oklahoma's chances? I feel a 1684 01:26:06,040 --> 01:26:09,519 Speaker 1: whole lot better about Oklahoma's chances in that scenario. John 1685 01:26:09,560 --> 01:26:12,280 Speaker 1: Mattier has been really good one other thing to consider. 1686 01:26:12,720 --> 01:26:15,880 Speaker 1: How about this our Mason Thomas. He's the sack leader 1687 01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:18,240 Speaker 1: from last year for Oklahoma. He's gonna be out for 1688 01:26:18,280 --> 01:26:22,160 Speaker 1: the whole first half. Had a targeting ejection last week, 1689 01:26:22,760 --> 01:26:25,479 Speaker 1: which I'm curious how you guys feel about this man 1690 01:26:25,520 --> 01:26:28,640 Speaker 1: where that is such a severe penalty. You know, I 1691 01:26:28,640 --> 01:26:30,679 Speaker 1: think we're just used to it, Like he's gonna miss 1692 01:26:30,680 --> 01:26:33,880 Speaker 1: a half of football because of last week, you know, 1693 01:26:33,960 --> 01:26:38,320 Speaker 1: I mean that is such a severe penalty. And look, 1694 01:26:38,360 --> 01:26:40,400 Speaker 1: I get it, if you drop the crown of your helmet, 1695 01:26:40,439 --> 01:26:43,160 Speaker 1: you just spear a dude right in the face mask. Okay, 1696 01:26:43,720 --> 01:26:46,040 Speaker 1: I can stomach that. But if this is sort of 1697 01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:48,880 Speaker 1: like a football play and the ball carrier drops his 1698 01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:51,360 Speaker 1: head and you're kind of dropping your head to make 1699 01:26:51,400 --> 01:26:53,599 Speaker 1: a tackle, and it happens and you miss a whole 1700 01:26:53,640 --> 01:26:56,599 Speaker 1: half of next week, man, I hate that. I don't 1701 01:26:56,640 --> 01:26:57,240 Speaker 1: like that at all. 1702 01:26:58,040 --> 01:27:05,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think, Look, some rules I think are appropriately 1703 01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:07,479 Speaker 4: penalize the. 1704 01:27:09,400 --> 01:27:11,840 Speaker 3: People who make the infractions. 1705 01:27:12,320 --> 01:27:13,960 Speaker 4: You know, I know that's kind of a clunky way 1706 01:27:13,960 --> 01:27:16,200 Speaker 4: to say, but I think there are certain rules that 1707 01:27:16,280 --> 01:27:19,160 Speaker 4: are legislated appropriately. And then I think there are certain 1708 01:27:19,240 --> 01:27:22,639 Speaker 4: rules that go way beyond the pal Like I mean, 1709 01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:27,240 Speaker 4: we have these debates about the spot foul basically what 1710 01:27:27,320 --> 01:27:30,640 Speaker 4: it's turned into in the NFL and pass interference. 1711 01:27:30,680 --> 01:27:36,920 Speaker 3: It seems like, I mean, way too offensive driven. 1712 01:27:37,040 --> 01:27:40,400 Speaker 4: But you know, in college football, this one is sort 1713 01:27:40,400 --> 01:27:47,519 Speaker 4: of veiled behind the opaque mask that we're trying to 1714 01:27:47,560 --> 01:27:50,240 Speaker 4: protect college football players. Meanwhile, it just feels like a 1715 01:27:50,280 --> 01:27:54,760 Speaker 4: pr stunt. You know, football's innately a dangerous game. Guys 1716 01:27:54,840 --> 01:27:58,040 Speaker 4: are going to get hit hard sometimes, and you're going 1717 01:27:58,080 --> 01:27:59,840 Speaker 4: to use your helmet to hit. As a matter of 1718 01:28:00,479 --> 01:28:03,479 Speaker 4: every single football play, players hit each. 1719 01:28:03,320 --> 01:28:04,920 Speaker 3: Other with their helmets. I'm sorry. 1720 01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:07,760 Speaker 4: If that's too brutal for you, then you're watching the 1721 01:28:07,800 --> 01:28:11,720 Speaker 4: wrong sport because it just because you highlighted it on 1722 01:28:11,800 --> 01:28:14,680 Speaker 4: this one super slow mo act. I'm telling you there 1723 01:28:14,680 --> 01:28:17,200 Speaker 4: are ten other hits in that game that were probably 1724 01:28:17,280 --> 01:28:19,759 Speaker 4: more brutal that you didn't have the cameras on super 1725 01:28:19,760 --> 01:28:23,680 Speaker 4: slow mo for So I digress. In terms of this 1726 01:28:23,840 --> 01:28:28,200 Speaker 4: game Auburn Oklahoma. You heard me talk about Matier how 1727 01:28:28,240 --> 01:28:31,200 Speaker 4: I think he's gonna have over the half interception, and 1728 01:28:31,240 --> 01:28:34,320 Speaker 4: that probably sounds like I'm all on Auburn's side at 1729 01:28:34,320 --> 01:28:34,679 Speaker 4: this point. 1730 01:28:34,720 --> 01:28:35,000 Speaker 3: I'm not. 1731 01:28:35,800 --> 01:28:37,880 Speaker 4: I just think that that's gonna be the game player. 1732 01:28:38,240 --> 01:28:42,360 Speaker 4: Matier's gonna be throwing to this quadre or cadre of 1733 01:28:42,439 --> 01:28:45,559 Speaker 4: receivers he has. He's got four really talented pass catchers 1734 01:28:45,600 --> 01:28:49,280 Speaker 4: in this offense, and you are going against an Auburn 1735 01:28:49,320 --> 01:28:52,640 Speaker 4: team that plays crummy coverage. They're gonna sit back and 1736 01:28:52,680 --> 01:28:55,880 Speaker 4: cover three. Materia is going to piece them up underneath, 1737 01:28:56,040 --> 01:28:58,200 Speaker 4: and he's gonna take some shots downfield. And I think 1738 01:28:58,240 --> 01:29:02,400 Speaker 4: that's maybe where the Tiger can generate an interception. But 1739 01:29:02,520 --> 01:29:08,080 Speaker 4: they are poor tackling defense. The Auburn Tigers rank beyond 1740 01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:11,320 Speaker 4: one hundredth in all of NCAA football in terms of 1741 01:29:11,400 --> 01:29:15,400 Speaker 4: tackle rate. And also these receivers, if you look at PFF, 1742 01:29:15,760 --> 01:29:18,720 Speaker 4: they force a lot of mistackles. So we're talking about 1743 01:29:18,800 --> 01:29:22,320 Speaker 4: yards after catch. I like Oklahoma in this game, I 1744 01:29:22,360 --> 01:29:26,400 Speaker 4: really do. I think that Auburn's gonna do what they 1745 01:29:26,400 --> 01:29:28,519 Speaker 4: do well. They're gonna stop the run. I don't know 1746 01:29:28,560 --> 01:29:30,120 Speaker 4: if they're gonna be able to do much else. 1747 01:29:31,240 --> 01:29:34,280 Speaker 7: Yeah, I like Oklahoma too, and Brian, to your point, 1748 01:29:34,439 --> 01:29:38,439 Speaker 7: I hate the rule, but to the Sooners credit, they 1749 01:29:38,479 --> 01:29:42,360 Speaker 7: have a deep defensive line I really like. And I'll 1750 01:29:42,360 --> 01:29:43,519 Speaker 7: get to a couple dudes in a minute. 1751 01:29:43,560 --> 01:29:44,000 Speaker 8: I really like. 1752 01:29:44,040 --> 01:29:46,479 Speaker 7: But last year this was a tight game. Oklahoma had 1753 01:29:46,560 --> 01:29:50,519 Speaker 7: Michael Hawkins at quarterback on the road, and they managed 1754 01:29:50,560 --> 01:29:53,840 Speaker 7: to win this game. You know why because Brent Venables 1755 01:29:54,320 --> 01:29:58,040 Speaker 7: on a crucial third down fake the blitz. 1756 01:29:58,479 --> 01:29:59,920 Speaker 5: And this is what Brent Venables does. 1757 01:30:00,080 --> 01:30:03,519 Speaker 7: He he's a liar. Brent Venables, you're a liar. You 1758 01:30:03,600 --> 01:30:06,080 Speaker 7: will show me something at the line of scrimmage and 1759 01:30:06,120 --> 01:30:09,000 Speaker 7: then right when the ball is snapped, you change the 1760 01:30:09,080 --> 01:30:12,840 Speaker 7: eye picture, you change what I'm seeing. Peyton Thorne thought 1761 01:30:12,880 --> 01:30:16,760 Speaker 7: it was zero blitz and then the linebackers dropped, he 1762 01:30:16,920 --> 01:30:19,760 Speaker 7: threw a pick and that was the ball game. And 1763 01:30:19,800 --> 01:30:21,400 Speaker 7: this is what I think we're gonna see a lot 1764 01:30:21,439 --> 01:30:22,920 Speaker 7: of in this game. You're gonna see a lot of 1765 01:30:22,920 --> 01:30:25,080 Speaker 7: two I safety and at boom blitz you're gonna see 1766 01:30:25,080 --> 01:30:26,840 Speaker 7: a lot of zero blitz and at boom they're back 1767 01:30:26,840 --> 01:30:30,080 Speaker 7: in two I show like it just it's chaos. It's 1768 01:30:30,200 --> 01:30:33,679 Speaker 7: chaos and question marks. And I think this Oklahoma defense 1769 01:30:33,760 --> 01:30:36,479 Speaker 7: is a legit unit. For example, last week and I 1770 01:30:36,520 --> 01:30:38,680 Speaker 7: thought this was a terrible spot. I bet Temple and 1771 01:30:38,720 --> 01:30:41,160 Speaker 7: I got my clock cleaned because it was a weird 1772 01:30:41,200 --> 01:30:44,840 Speaker 7: sandwich game. Bodyclock, all that fun stuff, situational crap. 1773 01:30:44,920 --> 01:30:46,960 Speaker 8: But you know, Oklahoma handled their business. 1774 01:30:47,200 --> 01:30:49,360 Speaker 5: They ran a I'm not bitter at all. 1775 01:30:49,560 --> 01:30:52,920 Speaker 7: They ran a blitz package against this poor Temple quarterback 1776 01:30:53,120 --> 01:30:56,280 Speaker 7: where they brought the linebackers on a blitz and they 1777 01:30:56,400 --> 01:31:00,559 Speaker 7: dropped both defensive tackles into coverage. And when I say 1778 01:31:00,640 --> 01:31:05,040 Speaker 7: defensive tackles, I'm talking about Dominic Williams six one three 1779 01:31:05,160 --> 01:31:09,160 Speaker 7: twenty five and Jaden Jackson six two three twenty who 1780 01:31:09,240 --> 01:31:11,920 Speaker 7: is a freaking stud. By the way, those guys were 1781 01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:16,599 Speaker 7: dropping into coverage against Temple, I mean, that poor kid, 1782 01:31:16,640 --> 01:31:19,080 Speaker 7: the quarterback is not no chance in this game. So 1783 01:31:19,400 --> 01:31:22,360 Speaker 7: I think you're gonna see a lot of chaos from 1784 01:31:22,400 --> 01:31:26,679 Speaker 7: this Oklahoma defense. Can Jackson Arnold handle all of those 1785 01:31:26,720 --> 01:31:30,799 Speaker 7: switches and all of those coverage adjustments when U Freeze 1786 01:31:30,880 --> 01:31:32,479 Speaker 7: is trying to scream at him in his ear right 1787 01:31:32,479 --> 01:31:34,200 Speaker 7: before the snap and he can't hear anything because the 1788 01:31:34,240 --> 01:31:38,120 Speaker 7: Oklahoma fans are screaming chaos. That's the defensive scheme I 1789 01:31:38,160 --> 01:31:39,320 Speaker 7: think for this Sooners team. 1790 01:31:39,840 --> 01:31:42,960 Speaker 1: I'll tell you, building off your point, Jared is you 1791 01:31:43,000 --> 01:31:45,840 Speaker 1: know listen, I know you, and you're probably smart for this. 1792 01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:50,519 Speaker 1: He steer clear of the quarterback rushing yards. If you're 1793 01:31:50,560 --> 01:31:53,439 Speaker 1: taking overs, the sack yardage counts against you and it 1794 01:31:53,479 --> 01:31:57,960 Speaker 1: can royally screw up your bets, you know. But Jackson Arnold, 1795 01:31:58,000 --> 01:32:01,479 Speaker 1: think about this, the Auburn quarterback. His rushing prop bet 1796 01:32:01,520 --> 01:32:03,920 Speaker 1: is at forty two and a half. So you've been 1797 01:32:03,960 --> 01:32:06,760 Speaker 1: talking about this, Jared the power running. He's gonna be 1798 01:32:06,760 --> 01:32:09,920 Speaker 1: a big part of that. They're gonna run Jackson Arnold 1799 01:32:10,080 --> 01:32:13,840 Speaker 1: repeatedly and routinely, so he might get over. But when 1800 01:32:13,840 --> 01:32:16,720 Speaker 1: you're talking about disguising pressures that hey, this looks like 1801 01:32:16,720 --> 01:32:18,760 Speaker 1: they're they're dropping back. Oh they're said in the house, 1802 01:32:18,760 --> 01:32:22,680 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that lends itself to sacks yep, and 1803 01:32:22,720 --> 01:32:26,680 Speaker 1: lowering that rushing output from Jackson Arnold. So maybe you 1804 01:32:26,680 --> 01:32:28,559 Speaker 1: have to white knuckle it and say I'm gonna take 1805 01:32:28,560 --> 01:32:30,200 Speaker 1: the under forty two and a half. That would be 1806 01:32:30,240 --> 01:32:32,920 Speaker 1: a wild ride if you decide to do it. I 1807 01:32:32,920 --> 01:32:34,519 Speaker 1: think it's a wild ride either side. 1808 01:32:34,720 --> 01:32:35,360 Speaker 3: Quick one on over. 1809 01:32:35,360 --> 01:32:37,920 Speaker 8: They don't run a ton of drop back passes Auburn. 1810 01:32:38,120 --> 01:32:39,240 Speaker 1: They don't run unless. 1811 01:32:39,240 --> 01:32:42,320 Speaker 7: Unless it's like you know, obvious passing downs. So there's 1812 01:32:42,320 --> 01:32:44,520 Speaker 7: not gonna be a lot of sack opportunities. 1813 01:32:44,560 --> 01:32:47,479 Speaker 1: I think, well, it's not army. You know they're gonna 1814 01:32:47,560 --> 01:32:52,240 Speaker 1: drop back four times? That might be enough. How many 1815 01:32:52,280 --> 01:32:55,080 Speaker 1: times did he drop back today? How many passing attempts for. 1816 01:32:55,479 --> 01:33:00,719 Speaker 7: Say less than ten like traditional third and long five 1817 01:33:00,920 --> 01:33:02,120 Speaker 7: seven step drops. 1818 01:33:02,280 --> 01:33:05,200 Speaker 5: I would say, yeah, a lot of the others. 1819 01:33:06,080 --> 01:33:08,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, I was gonna say, there's a lot of window 1820 01:33:08,479 --> 01:33:11,200 Speaker 4: dressing now with a lot of these spread offenses where 1821 01:33:11,680 --> 01:33:14,920 Speaker 4: you know, everything starts from a lazy play fake or 1822 01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:18,040 Speaker 4: an actual RPO where you can you can have a 1823 01:33:18,080 --> 01:33:21,200 Speaker 4: real run fake where you're reading one of the defenders 1824 01:33:21,200 --> 01:33:23,000 Speaker 4: off the edge of the defense, whether it be a 1825 01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:26,479 Speaker 4: linebacker at that level, or a defensive end or even 1826 01:33:26,600 --> 01:33:30,080 Speaker 4: a support safety nickel who's dropped into the box, and 1827 01:33:30,120 --> 01:33:33,360 Speaker 4: you make your your your your decision at the line 1828 01:33:33,400 --> 01:33:36,360 Speaker 4: of scrimmage to throw the ball or give it based 1829 01:33:36,360 --> 01:33:39,840 Speaker 4: on that action. I mean a lot of teams have 1830 01:33:39,960 --> 01:33:43,640 Speaker 4: steered away from just just allowing their their quarterback to 1831 01:33:43,720 --> 01:33:44,200 Speaker 4: drop back. 1832 01:33:44,240 --> 01:33:46,719 Speaker 3: So if Arnold drops back more. 1833 01:33:46,560 --> 01:33:50,439 Speaker 4: Than ten times, like truly takes the snap you know, 1834 01:33:50,479 --> 01:33:53,120 Speaker 4: from the gun or under center right and gets into 1835 01:33:53,160 --> 01:33:54,839 Speaker 4: a drop, I'd be shocked. 1836 01:33:55,160 --> 01:33:56,479 Speaker 3: I really would be shocked. 1837 01:33:56,479 --> 01:33:58,880 Speaker 1: You get me double digits all day, you kidd me, 1838 01:33:59,000 --> 01:34:01,800 Speaker 1: like the end of the half two minute drill. If 1839 01:34:01,840 --> 01:34:04,760 Speaker 1: you're trailing in the fourth quarter, I so many you 1840 01:34:04,800 --> 01:34:05,200 Speaker 1: get there. 1841 01:34:05,320 --> 01:34:07,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree, I agree with that. 1842 01:34:07,240 --> 01:34:09,439 Speaker 7: I think ten's kind of the number probably, you know, 1843 01:34:09,520 --> 01:34:12,559 Speaker 7: juice to the over. I'll be honest, I think and 1844 01:34:13,240 --> 01:34:15,639 Speaker 7: Venables right now is might he might be the best 1845 01:34:15,640 --> 01:34:18,960 Speaker 7: defensive coach in the country. He honestly might be. And 1846 01:34:19,600 --> 01:34:22,880 Speaker 7: they're so complex in the back end. It's so tough 1847 01:34:22,920 --> 01:34:26,800 Speaker 7: to decipher what they are doing, and that it's gonna 1848 01:34:26,800 --> 01:34:29,080 Speaker 7: be This is gonna be a really tough game. This 1849 01:34:29,120 --> 01:34:31,479 Speaker 7: could be the game where a lot of people are like, man, 1850 01:34:31,520 --> 01:34:34,600 Speaker 7: we really need to start taking Oklahoma seriously. And I 1851 01:34:34,600 --> 01:34:36,479 Speaker 7: don't know if it's gonna be a blowout. The totals 1852 01:34:36,479 --> 01:34:38,920 Speaker 7: super low. It's in the forties, so I don't think 1853 01:34:38,920 --> 01:34:40,960 Speaker 7: it's gonna be like thirty five to ten or you know, 1854 01:34:41,000 --> 01:34:42,840 Speaker 7: thirty five seventeen or anything like that. 1855 01:34:42,840 --> 01:34:44,719 Speaker 8: That would be kind of an eye opening score. 1856 01:34:45,240 --> 01:34:47,120 Speaker 7: And I do think this Auburn offensive line when I 1857 01:34:47,120 --> 01:34:49,400 Speaker 7: watch them on tape, I think their interior is better. 1858 01:34:49,479 --> 01:34:51,720 Speaker 7: I think they handle stunts and twists really well. They're 1859 01:34:51,760 --> 01:34:54,879 Speaker 7: well coached. They're a little gettable at the tackle spots. 1860 01:34:55,360 --> 01:34:58,640 Speaker 7: But again, they don't run a lot of traditional dropbacks, 1861 01:34:58,640 --> 01:35:00,519 Speaker 7: so I don't know how big of a fact that's 1862 01:35:00,560 --> 01:35:03,600 Speaker 7: going to be. The interior is definitely the strength of 1863 01:35:03,600 --> 01:35:05,439 Speaker 7: this offensive line. Here's the final question I have on 1864 01:35:05,439 --> 01:35:07,880 Speaker 7: this game. Where the heck is Jade not? This dude 1865 01:35:07,920 --> 01:35:10,200 Speaker 7: has nine carries in two games. I mean, he is 1866 01:35:10,280 --> 01:35:13,280 Speaker 7: a All conference kind of runner and they have given 1867 01:35:13,320 --> 01:35:17,439 Speaker 7: him the ball nine times in two games. I'd like 1868 01:35:17,479 --> 01:35:19,479 Speaker 7: to see more Jade not today. If I'm Oklahoma, take 1869 01:35:19,479 --> 01:35:20,799 Speaker 7: the pressure off the tier a little. 1870 01:35:20,600 --> 01:35:24,920 Speaker 1: Bit, man. I'll tell you what we've concocted A new 1871 01:35:24,960 --> 01:35:27,960 Speaker 1: way to to be even more enthused about this game, 1872 01:35:28,040 --> 01:35:34,400 Speaker 1: is that how many dropbacks? Jackson Arnold traditional drop I know, 1873 01:35:34,560 --> 01:35:37,720 Speaker 1: traditional dropbacks easily gets to ten. I'm telling you it's 1874 01:35:37,720 --> 01:35:39,479 Speaker 1: gonna be third and eight and I'm like, here. 1875 01:35:39,320 --> 01:35:42,480 Speaker 7: We gotta drawing. 1876 01:35:42,520 --> 01:35:43,439 Speaker 5: You're gonna be like, oh. 1877 01:35:45,479 --> 01:35:48,519 Speaker 1: No, yeah, I'm gonna be paid attention because that's a 1878 01:35:48,560 --> 01:35:50,680 Speaker 1: fun little thing to pay attention to. It is like 1879 01:35:50,720 --> 01:35:51,720 Speaker 1: the game within the game. 1880 01:35:51,840 --> 01:35:52,240 Speaker 5: For sure. 1881 01:35:52,400 --> 01:35:55,160 Speaker 1: Have we got rich Orenberger, Penn State All American, Jared 1882 01:35:55,240 --> 01:35:59,400 Speaker 1: Smith FSR betting analyst, I'm Brian no bet MGM players 1883 01:35:59,439 --> 01:36:02,879 Speaker 1: will receive college Football odds boost tokens and college Football 1884 01:36:02,880 --> 01:36:06,160 Speaker 1: Parlay boost tokens throughout the season to use on college 1885 01:36:06,200 --> 01:36:09,080 Speaker 1: football bets score extra winnings.

The whole thing is 1901 01:37:01,040 --> 01:37:05,840 Speaker 1: right there. Seamus the a big fan. Me being me, 1902 01:37:05,920 --> 01:37:07,639 Speaker 1: I'm like, what do you think of Megadath? He was like, 1903 01:37:07,960 --> 01:37:14,160 Speaker 1: what who swearing Harvard. I've been breaking down the nai 1904 01:37:14,320 --> 01:37:16,200 Speaker 1: A you know, betting lines over here. 1905 01:37:16,840 --> 01:37:18,760 Speaker 7: Yeah, I texted Shamus. I said that was an all 1906 01:37:18,840 --> 01:37:22,360 Speaker 7: timer pick. If if he hits that, we should just 1907 01:37:22,400 --> 01:37:23,519 Speaker 7: retire him and go right. 1908 01:37:23,439 --> 01:37:28,120 Speaker 4: To forget forget it. Yeah, well we'll put this one 1909 01:37:28,160 --> 01:37:32,160 Speaker 4: up for the Marconi. Seamus will give our acceptance speech 1910 01:37:32,720 --> 01:37:34,920 Speaker 4: and we'll all ride off into the sunset. 1911 01:37:35,040 --> 01:37:35,680 Speaker 3: He texted back. 1912 01:37:35,720 --> 01:37:38,400 Speaker 5: Couldn't take my eyes off that game. The only Shamus, 1913 01:37:38,479 --> 01:37:39,639 Speaker 5: the Stetson Harvard game. 1914 01:37:39,640 --> 01:37:40,120 Speaker 8: He's the one. 1915 01:37:40,160 --> 01:37:41,320 Speaker 5: He's got his circle today. 1916 01:37:41,479 --> 01:37:45,760 Speaker 1: He's all over it all. We got Texas Tech at Utah. 1917 01:37:46,080 --> 01:37:49,280 Speaker 1: Love this matchup. The Utes favored by three and a half. 1918 01:37:49,880 --> 01:37:51,840 Speaker 1: So it's three in the hook. Now it's gone up 1919 01:37:51,920 --> 01:37:53,880 Speaker 1: just a little bit, ticked up just a little bit 1920 01:37:53,920 --> 01:37:56,920 Speaker 1: through the key number. Gonna be strength versus strength all 1921 01:37:56,960 --> 01:37:59,479 Speaker 1: over the field. By the way, while we're talking metal 1922 01:37:59,520 --> 01:38:02,960 Speaker 1: over here, strength beyond strength of course the Pantera song, 1923 01:38:03,000 --> 01:38:06,800 Speaker 1: it's gonna be strength versus strength today. Texas Tech, they 1924 01:38:06,840 --> 01:38:09,400 Speaker 1: throw it all over the place. Utah plays really good 1925 01:38:09,439 --> 01:38:12,559 Speaker 1: pass defense, and you could have matchups all over the 1926 01:38:12,560 --> 01:38:15,280 Speaker 1: place like Utah does this really well well. Texas Tech. 1927 01:38:15,320 --> 01:38:18,240 Speaker 1: They also do this really well. That's the deal over here. 1928 01:38:18,280 --> 01:38:21,840 Speaker 1: And I love the quarterback matchup. Devin dan Pierre has 1929 01:38:21,840 --> 01:38:24,080 Speaker 1: done his thing, done a really good job since coming 1930 01:38:24,120 --> 01:38:28,400 Speaker 1: over from New Mexico and Texas Tech quarterback Baron Morton, 1931 01:38:28,439 --> 01:38:31,240 Speaker 1: he's been throwing it, throwing it all over the place. 1932 01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:34,120 Speaker 1: Lit up Oregon State. I know it's Oregon State, but 1933 01:38:34,160 --> 01:38:37,840 Speaker 1: still it's an FBS squad through for four forty two 1934 01:38:37,880 --> 01:38:42,000 Speaker 1: and four touchdowns against the Beaves. And that's the question 1935 01:38:42,200 --> 01:38:45,280 Speaker 1: is I really like Utah's pass defense, but this Texas 1936 01:38:45,320 --> 01:38:49,160 Speaker 1: Tech passing game, it has been precise, it has been 1937 01:38:49,320 --> 01:38:52,080 Speaker 1: on point, and I want to see if they can 1938 01:38:52,120 --> 01:38:57,280 Speaker 1: move the ball effectively and consistently against a Utah pass 1939 01:38:57,360 --> 01:39:02,160 Speaker 1: defense at home, hostile atmosphere. That is a great, great matchup, 1940 01:39:03,000 --> 01:39:03,840 Speaker 1: no doubt. 1941 01:39:03,680 --> 01:39:04,200 Speaker 3: No doubt. 1942 01:39:04,680 --> 01:39:07,200 Speaker 4: I know this may come off as a little bit boring, 1943 01:39:07,479 --> 01:39:11,040 Speaker 4: maybe to the casual fan or the fan who likes 1944 01:39:11,080 --> 01:39:13,920 Speaker 4: to go on betting apps and just pick a side 1945 01:39:14,040 --> 01:39:17,960 Speaker 4: based off a whim. But for you real football junkies, 1946 01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:21,600 Speaker 4: I want you to train your eyes to the trenches. 1947 01:39:21,960 --> 01:39:25,639 Speaker 4: I want you to watch this Utah group up front 1948 01:39:25,800 --> 01:39:28,719 Speaker 4: on the offensive line. They're the best in the Big Twelve. 1949 01:39:28,920 --> 01:39:32,880 Speaker 4: These guys are big, nasty hogs. They like to move 1950 01:39:32,960 --> 01:39:35,520 Speaker 4: people out of the way, they like to protect their quarterback. 1951 01:39:35,640 --> 01:39:39,040 Speaker 4: And likewise, I'm going to argue that Texas Tech has 1952 01:39:39,080 --> 01:39:41,120 Speaker 4: the best defensive line in the Big Twelve. So this 1953 01:39:41,280 --> 01:39:44,960 Speaker 4: is a all conference group against an all conference group, 1954 01:39:45,040 --> 01:39:48,360 Speaker 4: and they are going to absolutely battle it out in 1955 01:39:48,400 --> 01:39:50,519 Speaker 4: the trenches. And I think that's where this game is won. 1956 01:39:51,040 --> 01:39:51,559 Speaker 3: I mean, we. 1957 01:39:51,479 --> 01:39:54,479 Speaker 4: Get caught up on, you know, the prop bets and 1958 01:39:54,600 --> 01:39:57,919 Speaker 4: the quarterback play and the receiving and rushing yardage. 1959 01:39:57,920 --> 01:39:59,920 Speaker 3: But without a good group. 1960 01:39:59,840 --> 01:40:02,080 Speaker 4: Up front on both sides of the ball, you're really 1961 01:40:02,080 --> 01:40:04,600 Speaker 4: going to struggle throughout the course of the season. You 1962 01:40:04,680 --> 01:40:07,559 Speaker 4: may find ways to hide it, but you'll struggle. And 1963 01:40:07,680 --> 01:40:10,439 Speaker 4: this group is really short up on the offensive side 1964 01:40:10,439 --> 01:40:13,560 Speaker 4: for the Utes. And then in terms of Texas Tech defensively, 1965 01:40:13,640 --> 01:40:16,040 Speaker 4: they know how to get after the passer, they know 1966 01:40:16,160 --> 01:40:18,640 Speaker 4: how to defend the run. This is going to be 1967 01:40:18,720 --> 01:40:22,400 Speaker 4: a war between the starting five of Utah and the 1968 01:40:22,400 --> 01:40:24,080 Speaker 4: front four of Texas Tech. 1969 01:40:24,640 --> 01:40:26,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, interesting game here. First of all, what's up with 1970 01:40:27,000 --> 01:40:27,599 Speaker 5: the times? 1971 01:40:27,840 --> 01:40:30,559 Speaker 7: Like the games cann start at ten o'clock Mountain time, 1972 01:40:30,840 --> 01:40:35,080 Speaker 7: ten am. Weird weird start time, and I know, you 1973 01:40:35,120 --> 01:40:37,519 Speaker 7: know the Fox noon stuff, and you know they want 1974 01:40:37,600 --> 01:40:41,519 Speaker 7: their noon window, but I wish that this game was 1975 01:40:41,520 --> 01:40:44,120 Speaker 7: starting a little bit later. I actually think that neutralizes 1976 01:40:44,160 --> 01:40:47,400 Speaker 7: the home field a little bit for Utah. And you know, 1977 01:40:47,640 --> 01:40:50,040 Speaker 7: say what you want about the party atmosphere in Salt 1978 01:40:50,120 --> 01:40:52,160 Speaker 7: Lake City. It's maybe not quite the same as some 1979 01:40:52,280 --> 01:40:56,160 Speaker 7: other SEC towns or big ten towns across the country, 1980 01:40:56,280 --> 01:40:59,360 Speaker 7: But I do think starting a game at ten am 1981 01:40:59,400 --> 01:41:02,519 Speaker 7: local time neutralizes your home field advantage just a little bit. 1982 01:41:02,720 --> 01:41:05,080 Speaker 7: It's not going to be as raucous as it would 1983 01:41:05,080 --> 01:41:07,880 Speaker 7: be at maybe eight pm local time, So keep an 1984 01:41:07,880 --> 01:41:09,640 Speaker 7: eye on that and see how much the crowd is 1985 01:41:09,680 --> 01:41:11,920 Speaker 7: a factor. That being said, Kyle Whittingham's great at home 1986 01:41:11,960 --> 01:41:14,080 Speaker 7: eighty percent home win rate throughout the course. 1987 01:41:13,920 --> 01:41:14,479 Speaker 8: Of his career. 1988 01:41:14,520 --> 01:41:17,360 Speaker 7: Of course, one of the most experienced and decorated coaches 1989 01:41:17,400 --> 01:41:20,040 Speaker 7: in all of college football. I don't know how good 1990 01:41:20,120 --> 01:41:23,040 Speaker 7: either of these teams really are, right Utah pulled away 1991 01:41:23,040 --> 01:41:27,679 Speaker 7: from Wyoming and UCLA, Texas Tech, Oregon State and couple 1992 01:41:27,680 --> 01:41:31,120 Speaker 7: of other you know, bad teams. Neither team has been 1993 01:41:31,160 --> 01:41:34,439 Speaker 7: in a dog fight yet, and when neither team has 1994 01:41:34,479 --> 01:41:38,280 Speaker 7: really played a close game. I'm always fascinated to see 1995 01:41:38,320 --> 01:41:42,200 Speaker 7: which team responds to the inevitable adversity that you will 1996 01:41:42,200 --> 01:41:46,160 Speaker 7: face in a tightly contested conference matchup. This one also 1997 01:41:46,240 --> 01:41:48,920 Speaker 7: does kind of feel like a college footballlayoff elimination game. 1998 01:41:49,160 --> 01:41:51,680 Speaker 7: Right You're starting to get these really good teams that 1999 01:41:51,720 --> 01:41:55,719 Speaker 7: are on that middle tier of the CFP race playing 2000 01:41:55,760 --> 01:41:57,639 Speaker 7: each other. We talked about it with Illinois and Indiana, 2001 01:41:57,720 --> 01:41:59,680 Speaker 7: Michigan Nebraska. This kind of feels like one of those 2002 01:41:59,680 --> 01:42:02,080 Speaker 7: big twelve playing games where the loser is going to 2003 01:42:02,160 --> 01:42:04,280 Speaker 7: be in a really tight spot. I agree with everything 2004 01:42:04,280 --> 01:42:06,840 Speaker 7: you guys said. Texas tex defense looks great. Baron Morton 2005 01:42:06,880 --> 01:42:10,080 Speaker 7: looks fantastic too. I like how Texas tech and spread 2006 01:42:10,080 --> 01:42:12,759 Speaker 7: it around. They paid a boatload of money for this roster. 2007 01:42:12,920 --> 01:42:16,599 Speaker 7: So far it's lived up to the expectation. But at home, 2008 01:42:17,360 --> 01:42:20,759 Speaker 7: Utah just kind of has this edge about them. However, 2009 01:42:20,800 --> 01:42:23,200 Speaker 7: now that we're off the key of three, it's not 2010 01:42:23,240 --> 01:42:25,040 Speaker 7: a bet for me. I think this one does feel 2011 01:42:25,080 --> 01:42:26,600 Speaker 7: like a back and forth kind of game, and I 2012 01:42:26,640 --> 01:42:29,080 Speaker 7: don't know which team will respond better to the adversity, 2013 01:42:29,120 --> 01:42:31,000 Speaker 7: So I'm just gonna kind of kick my feet. 2014 01:42:30,840 --> 01:42:33,479 Speaker 5: Up and watch to see which team plays better? 2015 01:42:34,320 --> 01:42:37,840 Speaker 1: Okay, would you like to hear from some surly coaches 2016 01:42:38,160 --> 01:42:42,440 Speaker 1: over here? I love, yes, surly coaches. It's tremendous entertainment 2017 01:42:42,479 --> 01:42:47,360 Speaker 1: to me. Now, you might not have Southeastern Louisiana against 2018 01:42:47,479 --> 01:42:51,519 Speaker 1: LSU circled today. You know that game's at seven forty 2019 01:42:51,560 --> 01:42:55,800 Speaker 1: five pm Eastern time, But Brian Kelly certainly has this 2020 01:42:55,880 --> 01:42:58,439 Speaker 1: game circled right because he can't wait to point to it. 2021 01:42:58,520 --> 01:43:00,760 Speaker 1: Do you see the offense? Look at touchdown throws from 2022 01:43:00,760 --> 01:43:02,800 Speaker 1: garrettnu Smyer. You see the rushing yards, you see that, 2023 01:43:03,280 --> 01:43:06,400 Speaker 1: see some offense. He's a little bit testy. Last week 2024 01:43:06,520 --> 01:43:11,240 Speaker 1: after beating Florida, they won twenty to ten. LSU's offense 2025 01:43:11,360 --> 01:43:15,240 Speaker 1: was not exactly clicking there. They picked off DJ Lagway 2026 01:43:15,280 --> 01:43:18,599 Speaker 1: five times. But this is great. I just love the 2027 01:43:18,720 --> 01:43:23,679 Speaker 1: questions from the media and then Brian Kelly's firing bag. 2028 01:43:23,960 --> 01:43:26,559 Speaker 1: Let me know what you think. Does Brian Kelly make 2029 01:43:26,600 --> 01:43:29,120 Speaker 1: a good point or is this an overreaction. Here's BK 2030 01:43:29,479 --> 01:43:31,559 Speaker 1: after the win last week against Florida. 2031 01:43:31,760 --> 01:43:35,640 Speaker 10: I know you love these immediate postgame sessions, but what 2032 01:43:35,680 --> 01:43:37,000 Speaker 10: are you seeing with your offense? 2033 01:43:37,080 --> 01:43:37,479 Speaker 5: Stop? 2034 01:43:37,720 --> 01:43:38,120 Speaker 3: Really? 2035 01:43:38,240 --> 01:43:41,160 Speaker 5: Is that the first question? We won the game twenty 2036 01:43:41,200 --> 01:43:41,479 Speaker 5: to ten. 2037 01:43:41,600 --> 01:43:44,519 Speaker 11: Try another question. What do you want me to tell you? 2038 01:43:44,760 --> 01:43:47,439 Speaker 11: I just laid it out for you. We played the 2039 01:43:47,560 --> 01:43:51,240 Speaker 11: game to win the game. We played the game to 2040 01:43:51,320 --> 01:43:51,960 Speaker 11: win the game. 2041 01:43:52,080 --> 01:43:52,439 Speaker 3: All right? 2042 01:43:52,479 --> 01:43:53,280 Speaker 10: How about third down? 2043 01:43:53,320 --> 01:43:54,960 Speaker 3: Dad? What is going on with third down? 2044 01:43:55,600 --> 01:44:00,479 Speaker 11: It's one game, last game, we were great on third down. Micro, 2045 01:44:01,160 --> 01:44:05,400 Speaker 11: you're looking at this from the wrong perspective. LSU won 2046 01:44:05,479 --> 01:44:08,960 Speaker 11: the football game, won the game. I don't know what 2047 01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:11,479 Speaker 11: you want from me. What do you want? You want 2048 01:44:11,520 --> 01:44:14,120 Speaker 11: us to win seventy to nothing against Florida to keep 2049 01:44:14,160 --> 01:44:14,599 Speaker 11: you happy? 2050 01:44:14,640 --> 01:44:15,960 Speaker 10: No, I think people want to know why you can't 2051 01:44:16,000 --> 01:44:16,720 Speaker 10: run the ball quite well? 2052 01:44:16,800 --> 01:44:18,719 Speaker 5: We can run the ball. Did you see the last 2053 01:44:18,720 --> 01:44:22,479 Speaker 5: play of the game. That's all you need. You just 2054 01:44:22,520 --> 01:44:25,479 Speaker 5: need run. There's a ridiculous. 2055 01:44:25,000 --> 01:44:29,679 Speaker 11: Questions, and I'm getting tired of it. That football team 2056 01:44:29,960 --> 01:44:33,439 Speaker 11: just work their tail off to get an SEC win. 2057 01:44:33,840 --> 01:44:35,360 Speaker 11: And you want to know what's wrong? 2058 01:44:35,760 --> 01:44:36,240 Speaker 5: You know what? 2059 01:44:36,840 --> 01:44:37,600 Speaker 3: You're spoiled. 2060 01:44:38,160 --> 01:44:38,879 Speaker 5: You're spoiled. 2061 01:44:39,360 --> 01:44:42,920 Speaker 11: This team is seventeen and one at night, seventeen and one. 2062 01:44:43,160 --> 01:44:46,559 Speaker 5: Give them some respect? How about that? Give them some 2063 01:44:46,600 --> 01:44:47,519 Speaker 5: respect instead of. 2064 01:44:47,520 --> 01:44:52,640 Speaker 11: Micro analyzing every little thing. This is ridiculous for a 2065 01:44:52,680 --> 01:44:58,360 Speaker 11: group of seasoned reporters. That kind of question is so 2066 01:44:58,479 --> 01:44:59,160 Speaker 11: out of line. 2067 01:44:59,520 --> 01:45:02,840 Speaker 1: Wow, thoughts, I mean, what is BK make a point here? 2068 01:45:03,000 --> 01:45:04,519 Speaker 1: Is this an overreaction by him? 2069 01:45:05,280 --> 01:45:05,960 Speaker 3: I feel like. 2070 01:45:07,560 --> 01:45:11,519 Speaker 4: Everybody is entitled to ask whatever question they want to ask. Now, 2071 01:45:11,520 --> 01:45:14,480 Speaker 4: don't get me wrong, I think certain lines of questioning 2072 01:45:14,560 --> 01:45:17,880 Speaker 4: are inappropriate, and I'll draw the lines somewhere. I didn't 2073 01:45:17,880 --> 01:45:23,600 Speaker 4: feel like any of that was inappropriate. I think that football, 2074 01:45:24,000 --> 01:45:29,080 Speaker 4: like all sports, but especially football, is a hyper emotional sport. 2075 01:45:29,520 --> 01:45:31,639 Speaker 4: You know, we were talking earlier in the broadcast about 2076 01:45:31,640 --> 01:45:34,200 Speaker 4: momentum during a game, how it can feel like the 2077 01:45:34,240 --> 01:45:36,840 Speaker 4: tides are carrying you out and you got to fight 2078 01:45:36,880 --> 01:45:39,120 Speaker 4: your way back to shore to make up a two 2079 01:45:39,160 --> 01:45:42,960 Speaker 4: score deficit. Sometimes, like some people look at a game 2080 01:45:43,479 --> 01:45:46,160 Speaker 4: or a box score at halftime and be like, oh, well, 2081 01:45:46,160 --> 01:45:47,719 Speaker 4: they're only trailing by ten. 2082 01:45:48,640 --> 01:45:51,000 Speaker 3: Only trailing by ten? Have you watched the game? 2083 01:45:51,120 --> 01:45:55,720 Speaker 4: Sometimes ten points is an insurmountable obstacle, you know what 2084 01:45:55,800 --> 01:45:59,920 Speaker 4: I mean. So to lose you yourself in the stats 2085 01:46:00,840 --> 01:46:03,240 Speaker 4: and the box scores and not pay attention to the 2086 01:46:03,280 --> 01:46:06,840 Speaker 4: emotion of the sport is losing the sport altogether. So 2087 01:46:07,200 --> 01:46:10,040 Speaker 4: I don't think this head coach was out of line. 2088 01:46:10,040 --> 01:46:13,320 Speaker 4: But I also don't think that the line of questioning 2089 01:46:13,439 --> 01:46:16,320 Speaker 4: was out of line. I think those were fair questions, 2090 01:46:16,320 --> 01:46:19,960 Speaker 4: and I think it's actually fair game for a head 2091 01:46:20,000 --> 01:46:24,120 Speaker 4: coach to have an emotional reaction in a very emotional sport. 2092 01:46:24,080 --> 01:46:28,280 Speaker 3: To any line of questioning. Nothing was beyond the pale here, 2093 01:46:28,280 --> 01:46:29,840 Speaker 3: but it may for a great sound clip. 2094 01:46:30,160 --> 01:46:32,679 Speaker 8: Yes, thank you Brian for the sound clip. 2095 01:46:32,720 --> 01:46:33,679 Speaker 5: But grow up, dude. 2096 01:46:34,200 --> 01:46:36,519 Speaker 7: Your offense is one hundred and eighth in success rate. 2097 01:46:39,520 --> 01:46:42,400 Speaker 7: There's only one hundred and thirty something teams in the FBS, 2098 01:46:42,560 --> 01:46:44,679 Speaker 7: and I'm looking at the numbers right now. The defense 2099 01:46:44,720 --> 01:46:48,880 Speaker 7: has been fantastic. It is a very fair question. You 2100 01:46:49,479 --> 01:46:54,320 Speaker 7: punted seven times against Florida, who just lost to USF 2101 01:46:54,360 --> 01:46:57,839 Speaker 7: the week prior. You needed a pick six, a holding 2102 01:46:57,920 --> 01:47:01,680 Speaker 7: penalty which called back an offensive touchdown, and five interceptions 2103 01:47:01,720 --> 01:47:02,760 Speaker 7: to beat Florida. 2104 01:47:04,040 --> 01:47:06,200 Speaker 5: It is a very fair question. 2105 01:47:06,520 --> 01:47:10,880 Speaker 7: Right that being said, it's okay for Brian to defend 2106 01:47:10,920 --> 01:47:13,559 Speaker 7: his team. I just think the way he went about 2107 01:47:13,560 --> 01:47:17,719 Speaker 7: his business was a little bit powdy. If you don't 2108 01:47:17,800 --> 01:47:22,120 Speaker 7: like the question, say listen, we won the game. You're right, 2109 01:47:22,120 --> 01:47:24,040 Speaker 7: our offense hasn't been great, but we won the game. 2110 01:47:24,080 --> 01:47:26,360 Speaker 7: I want some credit for that, and then if you 2111 01:47:26,400 --> 01:47:29,320 Speaker 7: don't like the way the question was framed, go to 2112 01:47:29,360 --> 01:47:32,679 Speaker 7: your SID afterwards and have a conversation with your SID 2113 01:47:32,840 --> 01:47:36,639 Speaker 7: and the reporter. Don't make a spectacle about it, because 2114 01:47:36,640 --> 01:47:39,439 Speaker 7: what you do when you make that spectacle is now 2115 01:47:39,479 --> 01:47:41,439 Speaker 7: instead of talking about LSU winning the game, we're talking 2116 01:47:41,439 --> 01:47:45,000 Speaker 7: about Brian Kelly having a hissy fit, which is taking 2117 01:47:45,040 --> 01:47:48,360 Speaker 7: away from the message. Your message was we just won 2118 01:47:48,439 --> 01:47:53,160 Speaker 7: a game against an SEC team. Make that the message. 2119 01:47:53,200 --> 01:47:55,479 Speaker 7: But now all we're talking about is Brian Kelly's hissy fit. 2120 01:47:55,840 --> 01:47:59,479 Speaker 1: Yeah, and Brian Kelly apologized for blowing up at the 2121 01:47:59,600 --> 01:48:02,760 Speaker 1: support And that's the thing. That's my thing. You never 2122 01:48:02,800 --> 01:48:06,400 Speaker 1: have to apologize for doing something right, you know, when 2123 01:48:06,439 --> 01:48:08,240 Speaker 1: you have to walk it back and you're like, my bad, 2124 01:48:09,240 --> 01:48:11,800 Speaker 1: you stepped in it. He absolutely stepped in it, right, 2125 01:48:12,000 --> 01:48:14,160 Speaker 1: got he got way too emotional there. That was a 2126 01:48:14,200 --> 01:48:16,760 Speaker 1: totally fair question. You both have pointed that out. If 2127 01:48:16,760 --> 01:48:19,880 Speaker 1: this is an unfair question, okay, I can understand how 2128 01:48:19,880 --> 01:48:21,880 Speaker 1: that got a rise out of you, But if it's 2129 01:48:21,920 --> 01:48:24,919 Speaker 1: a fair question, you just got to own it, right, Like, yeah, 2130 01:48:25,000 --> 01:48:27,679 Speaker 1: I understand you don't like that the first question out 2131 01:48:27,680 --> 01:48:30,560 Speaker 1: of the gate, you just win this game. It's highly emotional. 2132 01:48:30,720 --> 01:48:32,280 Speaker 1: What's up with your sucky offense? 2133 01:48:32,360 --> 01:48:32,599 Speaker 3: Coach? 2134 01:48:32,640 --> 01:48:35,360 Speaker 1: I understand you wouldn't like that, but that comes with 2135 01:48:35,439 --> 01:48:37,200 Speaker 1: the territory. You got to handle it. Let me throw 2136 01:48:37,240 --> 01:48:38,240 Speaker 1: another coach at you. 2137 01:48:38,320 --> 01:48:38,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's hear it. 2138 01:48:39,000 --> 01:48:42,160 Speaker 1: Let's hear it, Clemson's Dabo Sweeney. This was great too. 2139 01:48:42,280 --> 01:48:46,559 Speaker 1: So Clemson lost to Georgia Tech. They had legitimate national 2140 01:48:46,640 --> 01:48:50,000 Speaker 1: championship hopes. Dabo was talking about maybe going sixteen to 2141 01:48:50,040 --> 01:48:52,160 Speaker 1: oh remember that at the beginning of the year. Now 2142 01:48:52,200 --> 01:48:55,280 Speaker 1: they're one and two, and so this was what Dabo 2143 01:48:55,320 --> 01:48:57,679 Speaker 1: Sweeney had to say after the Georgia Tech loss. 2144 01:48:57,920 --> 01:48:59,920 Speaker 12: If they won't be going, maybe if they tire of winning, 2145 01:49:00,000 --> 01:49:01,439 Speaker 12: they can send me on the way. Because that's all 2146 01:49:01,479 --> 01:49:03,800 Speaker 12: we've done is win. So if they tired of winning, 2147 01:49:03,800 --> 01:49:05,240 Speaker 12: we've had We've won this league eight out of the 2148 01:49:05,280 --> 01:49:08,320 Speaker 12: last ten years. Is that not good? I'm just asking 2149 01:49:08,560 --> 01:49:11,040 Speaker 12: is that good? I don't know if that's good or not? 2150 01:49:11,520 --> 01:49:13,000 Speaker 12: To win your league eight out of ten years, to 2151 01:49:13,000 --> 01:49:14,680 Speaker 12: go to the playoffs seven out of ten years, being 2152 01:49:14,720 --> 01:49:18,120 Speaker 12: four national championships and went twice. Yeah, we live down 2153 01:49:18,160 --> 01:49:20,320 Speaker 12: right now take your shots. But I got a long 2154 01:49:20,360 --> 01:49:22,519 Speaker 12: memory in case, y'all don't know. We'll be all right, 2155 01:49:22,720 --> 01:49:25,840 Speaker 12: We'll bounce back. And hey, listen, I mean, Clemson's tired 2156 01:49:25,880 --> 01:49:28,400 Speaker 12: of winning. They send me on my way, but I'm 2157 01:49:28,400 --> 01:49:30,479 Speaker 12: gonna go somewhere else, and coach, I ain't going to 2158 01:49:30,479 --> 01:49:30,880 Speaker 12: the beach. 2159 01:49:31,200 --> 01:49:33,040 Speaker 5: Hell, I'm fifty five. I got a long way to go. 2160 01:49:33,560 --> 01:49:35,040 Speaker 12: Y'all gonna have to deal with me for a while. 2161 01:49:35,920 --> 01:49:38,000 Speaker 1: I could listen to Dabbo all day. I don't know 2162 01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:40,280 Speaker 1: what it is. It's just entertaining to me. But I 2163 01:49:40,320 --> 01:49:42,960 Speaker 1: do like how he threw that in there, was like, 2164 01:49:43,240 --> 01:49:45,559 Speaker 1: we've won our league eight of the last ten years. 2165 01:49:45,600 --> 01:49:48,040 Speaker 1: Is that good? I don't know. Can you Miami? How 2166 01:49:48,040 --> 01:49:52,120 Speaker 1: about Miami? They joined the ACC in four they haven't 2167 01:49:52,240 --> 01:49:55,920 Speaker 1: won it yet. They haven't won it one time. Freaking 2168 01:49:55,960 --> 01:49:59,240 Speaker 1: Clemson's won eight of the last ten. So listen, I 2169 01:49:59,280 --> 01:50:02,240 Speaker 1: think it should be pointed out. But at the same time, 2170 01:50:02,280 --> 01:50:04,920 Speaker 1: you can't rest on what you've done in the past, right, 2171 01:50:05,080 --> 01:50:07,439 Speaker 1: It's about the here and now. It's not about the 2172 01:50:07,520 --> 01:50:10,120 Speaker 1: last five years, last ten years, what you did three 2173 01:50:10,200 --> 01:50:13,120 Speaker 1: years ago. It's about now. And I think he's leaning 2174 01:50:13,160 --> 01:50:14,519 Speaker 1: on the past a little bit too much. 2175 01:50:14,400 --> 01:50:16,080 Speaker 3: Here, way too much. 2176 01:50:16,479 --> 01:50:21,480 Speaker 4: This smacks of my former coach Bill Belichick's press conferences 2177 01:50:21,520 --> 01:50:27,160 Speaker 4: before he was excommunicated from the Patriots facilities. 2178 01:50:27,520 --> 01:50:28,080 Speaker 3: You know what I mean? 2179 01:50:28,160 --> 01:50:30,760 Speaker 4: Like this, There was a point after Tom Brady where 2180 01:50:30,760 --> 01:50:32,960 Speaker 4: people are like, hey, Bill, it isn't working anymore. 2181 01:50:33,000 --> 01:50:33,559 Speaker 3: What's wrong? 2182 01:50:34,280 --> 01:50:37,320 Speaker 4: And he went, well, what do you mean it's not 2183 01:50:37,360 --> 01:50:40,160 Speaker 4: working anymore? He goes, you know, and he started citing 2184 01:50:40,160 --> 01:50:42,760 Speaker 4: the past. He had never done that before. He had 2185 01:50:42,880 --> 01:50:44,920 Speaker 4: never done that before. He started bringing up all the 2186 01:50:44,920 --> 01:50:47,479 Speaker 4: Super Bowls, he started bringing up all the division wins. 2187 01:50:47,479 --> 01:50:51,280 Speaker 4: He started bringing up, you know, the record, and it's like, yes, 2188 01:50:51,920 --> 01:50:53,080 Speaker 4: the record is the record. 2189 01:50:53,120 --> 01:50:54,679 Speaker 3: What have you done for me lately? 2190 01:50:55,479 --> 01:50:59,400 Speaker 4: And when you start falling back on your laurels and 2191 01:50:59,439 --> 01:51:01,880 Speaker 4: you're saying, look, got all the wreaths on the wall, Look, 2192 01:51:01,920 --> 01:51:05,600 Speaker 4: look how many trophies we've collected. Instead of advancing the 2193 01:51:05,640 --> 01:51:08,799 Speaker 4: spear forward and training your eyes on the next opponent, 2194 01:51:08,960 --> 01:51:12,599 Speaker 4: you know, he went from we're on to Cincinnati to hey, 2195 01:51:12,640 --> 01:51:16,320 Speaker 4: look at what we've done. Yeah, you know, so that's 2196 01:51:16,360 --> 01:51:19,800 Speaker 4: where Dabo Sweeney's at right now. And look, I'm like you, 2197 01:51:20,040 --> 01:51:23,640 Speaker 4: I could listen to Dabbo wax poetic about anything. I 2198 01:51:24,160 --> 01:51:26,439 Speaker 4: hope he gets on the call map one day, I'll 2199 01:51:26,439 --> 01:51:29,639 Speaker 4: fall asleep listen to Dabo Sweeney. But in terms of 2200 01:51:29,960 --> 01:51:32,599 Speaker 4: Clemson fans hearing what they want to hear, I mean 2201 01:51:32,600 --> 01:51:35,519 Speaker 4: that would give them nightmares on the call map, you 2202 01:51:35,520 --> 01:51:38,519 Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. So Dabo's got to change his tune. 2203 01:51:38,680 --> 01:51:41,599 Speaker 4: He's got to start looking forward instead of back. 2204 01:51:42,600 --> 01:51:44,439 Speaker 7: I don't have as strong of an opinion on the 2205 01:51:44,520 --> 01:51:46,559 Speaker 7: Dabo thing as I do Brian Kelly, because I do 2206 01:51:46,640 --> 01:51:50,040 Speaker 7: feel like Dabo's kind of got his back against the 2207 01:51:50,080 --> 01:51:53,200 Speaker 7: wall and he's trying to fight his way out, Whereas 2208 01:51:53,240 --> 01:51:56,439 Speaker 7: Brian Kelly, coming off a win, was just a little bit, 2209 01:51:57,240 --> 01:51:59,960 Speaker 7: you know, a little bit perturbed by the line of questioning, 2210 01:52:00,000 --> 01:52:03,360 Speaker 7: whereas Dabo really does like he's kind of up against it. 2211 01:52:03,439 --> 01:52:03,679 Speaker 9: Now. 2212 01:52:05,439 --> 01:52:09,920 Speaker 7: I think it's a good motivating quote for his team 2213 01:52:10,320 --> 01:52:13,080 Speaker 7: because there are a lot like going into the season, 2214 01:52:13,120 --> 01:52:15,680 Speaker 7: how wrong were we about Clemson? And we don't, Like, 2215 01:52:16,000 --> 01:52:19,200 Speaker 7: I know, we're wrong a lot on individual games, right, 2216 01:52:19,240 --> 01:52:22,120 Speaker 7: the ball bounces in funny ways, but it's hard to 2217 01:52:22,160 --> 01:52:25,439 Speaker 7: be wrong about a roster and the talent on that roster. 2218 01:52:25,520 --> 01:52:26,519 Speaker 5: And you want to say club. 2219 01:52:26,360 --> 01:52:28,599 Speaker 7: Nick hasn't lived up to the expectations and the quarterback 2220 01:52:28,640 --> 01:52:30,080 Speaker 7: is kind of the captain of the ship when it 2221 01:52:30,120 --> 01:52:32,280 Speaker 7: comes to how well you play on Saturdays or. 2222 01:52:32,160 --> 01:52:33,920 Speaker 8: Fridays or Mondays or whenever they play. 2223 01:52:34,920 --> 01:52:38,200 Speaker 7: But this roster still has all conference players at every 2224 01:52:38,600 --> 01:52:42,320 Speaker 7: single level. Receiver, O line, d line, cornerback Avion Terrell, 2225 01:52:42,360 --> 01:52:43,880 Speaker 7: who's a little banged up. He might be a first 2226 01:52:43,920 --> 01:52:46,320 Speaker 7: round corner. They got two dudes on the defensive line 2227 01:52:46,320 --> 01:52:49,280 Speaker 7: that are studs. Like the linebacking group, these are players 2228 01:52:49,320 --> 01:52:53,320 Speaker 7: that are really talented players that have not yet lived 2229 01:52:53,439 --> 01:52:54,519 Speaker 7: up to that talent. 2230 01:52:54,920 --> 01:52:57,479 Speaker 5: And I think the Dabo thing was more of a 2231 01:52:58,120 --> 01:52:58,920 Speaker 5: we need to. 2232 01:52:59,000 --> 01:53:02,439 Speaker 7: Fight our way out of this hole and we need 2233 01:53:02,439 --> 01:53:05,040 Speaker 7: to rely on that talent because it's there, whereas the 2234 01:53:05,080 --> 01:53:07,519 Speaker 7: Brian Kelly stuff was just him being upset. So I 2235 01:53:07,560 --> 01:53:10,320 Speaker 7: don't have as strong of a pushback to Dabbo. He 2236 01:53:10,400 --> 01:53:14,280 Speaker 7: sounded a little bit projecting some of this anger and frustration. 2237 01:53:14,400 --> 01:53:16,200 Speaker 7: But at the end of the day, I understand where 2238 01:53:16,200 --> 01:53:19,800 Speaker 7: it's coming from because Dabo recruited and coached this team 2239 01:53:19,920 --> 01:53:22,760 Speaker 7: up to a highest level as he could have, and 2240 01:53:22,840 --> 01:53:25,479 Speaker 7: now they need to perform up to that expectation on 2241 01:53:25,520 --> 01:53:27,559 Speaker 7: the field. We were putting clumpson in the culturable playoff 2242 01:53:27,640 --> 01:53:30,799 Speaker 7: and the ACC title game before the season even started, 2243 01:53:30,840 --> 01:53:33,000 Speaker 7: and now neither of those things are kind of in focus. 2244 01:53:33,080 --> 01:53:35,360 Speaker 7: So I think Dabo is just trying to fire up 2245 01:53:35,360 --> 01:53:37,920 Speaker 7: his troops a little bit and probably fire up himself. 2246 01:53:37,960 --> 01:53:41,240 Speaker 8: Where Brian Kelly like, ugh, dude, just read the room, Bro. 2247 01:53:42,120 --> 01:53:44,720 Speaker 1: I disagree with you, Jared. I take a lot from 2248 01:53:44,760 --> 01:53:48,640 Speaker 1: the Dabo thing. I think to Rich's point, when Belichick 2249 01:53:48,800 --> 01:53:51,800 Speaker 1: was like, hey, but five years ago, that told you 2250 01:53:51,880 --> 01:53:55,000 Speaker 1: everything you needed to know about the Patriots here and now, 2251 01:53:55,280 --> 01:53:58,920 Speaker 1: right and what Dabo said, he didn't say, Hey, yeah, 2252 01:53:58,960 --> 01:54:01,360 Speaker 1: we just lost to Georgia. That's a good football team. 2253 01:54:01,479 --> 01:54:03,280 Speaker 1: We got a lot of the season left. It's all 2254 01:54:03,320 --> 01:54:05,000 Speaker 1: about the here and now. We got a lot of talent. 2255 01:54:05,680 --> 01:54:08,559 Speaker 1: When you're citing what happened way back when and all 2256 01:54:08,600 --> 01:54:11,639 Speaker 1: this stuff, it tells you where Clemson is right now. 2257 01:54:12,280 --> 01:54:15,680 Speaker 1: It tells you that he knows where they are right Like, 2258 01:54:15,960 --> 01:54:18,599 Speaker 1: if he knew he had the goods, he would sell 2259 01:54:18,640 --> 01:54:21,759 Speaker 1: the goods of this year. But he's not. He's selling 2260 01:54:21,760 --> 01:54:24,800 Speaker 1: the goods of yesteryear. That tells me all I need 2261 01:54:24,840 --> 01:54:28,400 Speaker 1: to know about what he thinks about his current teams, 2262 01:54:28,720 --> 01:54:33,240 Speaker 1: you know, And that's very, very telling because right he would, 2263 01:54:33,520 --> 01:54:36,000 Speaker 1: he'd be like, yeah, we just lost to LSU and 2264 01:54:36,040 --> 01:54:38,760 Speaker 1: we lost the Georgia Tech. Those are good teams, right, 2265 01:54:38,960 --> 01:54:41,400 Speaker 1: We're gonna be fine. He didn't say anything like that. 2266 01:54:41,520 --> 01:54:43,760 Speaker 1: He's like, oh, we've won eight of the last ten. 2267 01:54:44,400 --> 01:54:46,040 Speaker 7: Like you think he's feeling I think he's feeling some 2268 01:54:46,080 --> 01:54:47,360 Speaker 7: pressure from some donors. 2269 01:54:47,760 --> 01:54:49,400 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah, absolutely. 2270 01:54:49,440 --> 01:54:54,000 Speaker 4: I mean when he speaks this way again, read between 2271 01:54:54,000 --> 01:54:58,040 Speaker 4: the lines, what's the bigger picture.

I'm 2336 01:58:09,360 --> 01:58:12,440 Speaker 7: gonna go Miami minus seven and a half against Florida. 2337 01:58:12,480 --> 01:58:14,960 Speaker 7: How much fuel do the Gators have left in the tank. 2338 01:58:15,000 --> 01:58:17,680 Speaker 7: I think that Miami offensive line and Carson Beck prove 2339 01:58:17,720 --> 01:58:20,680 Speaker 7: to be too much for Billy Napier's bunch. And I'm 2340 01:58:20,800 --> 01:58:23,960 Speaker 7: laying a big number with Clemson minus seventeen against Syracuse. 2341 01:58:24,000 --> 01:58:27,280 Speaker 7: Dabbo went off the rails, but Clemson gets their offense 2342 01:58:27,400 --> 01:58:29,560 Speaker 7: back on track this week. I think they win big 2343 01:58:29,720 --> 01:58:30,760 Speaker 7: against the Orange. 2344 01:58:31,280 --> 01:58:34,360 Speaker 4: Okay, I'm gonna start with Notre Dame, who I have 2345 01:58:34,880 --> 01:58:37,760 Speaker 4: favored twenty four and a half against the per don'ts 2346 01:58:38,040 --> 01:58:40,520 Speaker 4: I think they get it done, especially on the ground. 2347 01:58:40,760 --> 01:58:42,760 Speaker 4: Look at Jeremiah Love. I think he's gonna hit the 2348 01:58:42,800 --> 01:58:46,200 Speaker 4: over on his rushing total as well. Oklahoma minus three 2349 01:58:46,240 --> 01:58:48,360 Speaker 4: and a half first half spread, I think they come 2350 01:58:48,440 --> 01:58:51,560 Speaker 4: up growing the football. I think they're going to catch 2351 01:58:51,640 --> 01:58:55,400 Speaker 4: Auburn on their heels. They're going to avoid rushing against 2352 01:58:55,440 --> 01:58:58,720 Speaker 4: that great Tigers rush defense and Michigan minus one on 2353 01:58:58,800 --> 01:59:03,440 Speaker 4: the road at Nebraska. Give me Michigan, Give me Michigan. 2354 01:59:03,520 --> 01:59:06,560 Speaker 4: I believe in Bryce Underwood. This is a big spot form. 2355 01:59:06,960 --> 01:59:07,720 Speaker 3: It's time to. 2356 01:59:07,720 --> 01:59:11,800 Speaker 4: See him perform on a bigger stage. I think we 2357 01:59:11,960 --> 01:59:14,720 Speaker 4: haven't seen him quite get there yet. Big game against 2358 01:59:14,720 --> 01:59:18,480 Speaker 4: Central Michigan. I think he continues against Dylan Reyola and 2359 01:59:18,600 --> 01:59:19,760 Speaker 4: company in Nebraska. 2360 01:59:19,920 --> 01:59:22,520 Speaker 1: All Right, I'll go quick because I have no choice. 2361 01:59:22,720 --> 01:59:26,080 Speaker 1: Give me Arizona State running back Raleak Brown over sixty 2362 01:59:26,080 --> 01:59:28,000 Speaker 1: eight and a half rushing yards. I gave it to 2363 01:59:28,000 --> 01:59:28,640 Speaker 1: you and prop it up. 2364 01:59:28,640 --> 01:59:29,080 Speaker 3: I like it. 2365 01:59:29,520 --> 01:59:32,360 Speaker 1: Baylor's rush defense is terrible. Give me South Alabama minus 2366 01:59:32,440 --> 01:59:35,160 Speaker 1: the fifteen and a half against Coastal Carolina. They're a disaster. 2367 01:59:35,360 --> 01:59:38,320 Speaker 1: Then give me a two Lake parlay. I you outright 2368 01:59:38,480 --> 01:59:41,120 Speaker 1: and give me Brown's game under forty five and a 2369 01:59:41,160 --> 01:59:41,440 Speaker 1: half
