10
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 2: It's a red letter day type situation and we should

Speaker 2: celebrate it. It's I don't know, it comes once a year.

12
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 2: We get, however, many fourteen fifteen weeks of college football,

13
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 2: like true college football. Right, Obviously, the field narrows down

14
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 2: once we hit the postseason in the new playoffs. There's

15
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: so much new about this season. There's so much crazy

16
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,959
Speaker 2: about this season. But there is something special about that

17
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: like week one, right that you sound the alarm, right,

18
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,560

Speaker 2: and here we are. I love it.

20
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: Do you have any I thought this was a long

21
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: wind up for a creative venture, a creative label, oh

22
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: for this Saturday, because that is something you are wont

23
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: to do on this show. Have we graduated past that

24
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: or is that still something that you feel strongly about.

25
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 2: I have a nickname. I do have a nickname for Saturday, right,

26
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 2: this is our version of what Game Day will do

27
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 2: sometimes where it's like Showdown Saturday where you have the

28
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: alliterative s Saturday. So I was thinking, and this is

29
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: this is my situation. I'm going to be selfish about

30
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: it that my older dude is I have two sons,

31
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: is a kindergartener now, right, So like I'm in the

32
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 2: thick of like the back to school of it all.

33
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 2: So it actually works really nicely with it being, you know,

34
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: the first real week of college football and I, you know,

35
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: I'm down memory lane as he's learning things like, oh,

36
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 2: where's like the lunch room? Like what do we bring

37
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 2: home in our backpacks? All those things? But I started

38
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 2: thinking about, like later on when you're in school, like

39
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 2: what is that first day? What is that first week life?

40
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: And bringing it to college football, right, what do you

41
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: remember about that? Especially like when you're in middle school,

42
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 2: maybe high school, you come back from summer, You're like,

43
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 2: oh wow, that person's three inches taller. Oh wow, that

44
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: person like dyed their hair purple. Oh wow, that person

45
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 2: might have like lifted weights over the summer, like, oh wow,

46
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 2: I think I'm in love with that person. I've never

47
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 2: actually spoken to her, but like, I think I'm in love.

48
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 2: And that's kind of week one of college football.

49
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: To me.

50
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: That's kind of like we have this ability. We're sizing

51
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: everybody up. We're seeing what happened in the off season,

52
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 2: whether it's the portal, whether it's a new coach, whether

53
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: it's a new quarterback, whether it's a new conference, and

54
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 2: we're sort of sizing everybody up from kind of afar.

55
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 2: In my case, afar, I was not the most charming

56
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 2: seventh grader. Tie. I have this his school yard Saturday.

57
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: Tie, schoolyards Saturday. Dan, it's pretty good, right, I just

58
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: took the school bell off of my soundboard.

59
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 2: I mean, it could be size up Saturday, but I

60
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: think I like, you know, the analog of school yard Saturday.

61
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 2: We're like, oh, interesting, those are tighter shorts than she

62
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: wore last year. Ooh, he's wearing a tank top. Now

63
00:02:59,480 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 2: I like this.

64
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. And there's also the possibility that an announcer is

65
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: going to bring up a school yard play, i e.

00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,800

130
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: Let's start Saturday, hot noon ABC. It is Clemson, it

131
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: is Georgia. They're playing this one neutral site game in Atlanta.

132
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: Georgia's favored by thirteen and one half points. Dan, So, okay,

133
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: I like Clemson this year.

134
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 2: You know that same.

135
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: Go and listen to my ACC preview. I got Clemson

136
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: in the a SEC title game, not winning, but in

137
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, I really really like Clemson this year.

138
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: I saw this line Georgia minus thirteen and a half,

139
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: and I said, oh, I'm picking Georgia. I think there's

140
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: an Underthink Express game for captain Tie here. Come aboard me,

141
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: Come up board you whoa, whoa, whoa.

142
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 2: I'm a good yard Saturday.

143
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: Come aboard the Underthink Express with me your favorite host,

144
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: Ty Hilton Brandt.

145
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course mine too. Yeah.

146
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: Georgia has an alarming amount back from a year ago.

147
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: They're twenty ninth nationally in returning production, which, as I

148
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: said in the SEC previews, a lot. That's a lot

149
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: for a team of Georgia's caliber that frankly was a

150
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: national title contender last season. They lost the SEC title game.

151
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: They didn't make in the playoff. But I think we

152
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: all know deep down Georgia was rightly in that national

153
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: championship conversation a year ago. They will be again this year.

154
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: This is the next stable version of the Georgia football team.

155
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: It is iOS seventeen point two. It is not iOS

156
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: eighteen with a bunch of bugs. You know what you're getting,

157
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: it's just going to be incrementally better. I think you're

158
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: gonna see some contrast between Georgia and Clemson with what

159
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,239
Speaker 1: they offer in the trenches, because on the Georgia side,

160
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: you've got another year of having a Joe Moore caliber

161
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: offensive line, one of the best offensive lines in the country.

162
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: The Clemson line on the defensive side clearly has upside.

163
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: I love TJ. Parker, but I do think that there

164
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: is some amount of greenness across the board there along

165
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: that front that could take a wild gel could be

166
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: a problem for Clemson given the fact that the schedule

167
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: is super front loaded. So I don't know, Like I'm

168
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: not super concerned about Clemson's defensive line, but I do

169
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: think that's an area that we should at least pay

170
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: attention to going into this match up here in Week one.

171
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: So I have much more to say, but maybe I'll

172
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: turn the mic over to you for a second. How

173
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: do you feel? Oh?

174
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 2: I love the stakes in this one, even though it's

175
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 2: Week one. I love the opportunity that Clemson has right

176
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 2: to again try to turn around the modern reputation of Clemson.

177
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 2: As much as they've won. It's Georgia, right, Georgia and Atlanta.

178
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 2: You have this opportunity, right, This is why Clemson is

179
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 2: presumably thinking of itself as still Clemson, that you have

180
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 2: the opportunity to win this type of game. And for

181
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 2: Georgia it's kind of a weird thing where you just

182
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 2: kind of have to reinforce your status and ranking in

183
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 2: the sport and you lose to Clemson. With what Clemson's reputation,

184
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 2: right or wrong is in this moment, I don't know

185
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 2: that changes an outlook. Right, Georgia looked a little bit

186
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 2: more mortal last year he got to beat Clemson. So no,

187
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 2: I think it's a fascinating game and huge opportunity here.

188
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: You know.

189
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 2: The Clemson opportunity to me is just like find that

190
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 2: pop on offense, right, whether it's freshman, whether it's film offa,

191
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 2: whoever find that pop? And for Georgia it's I mean

192
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 2: I was thinking about school, right, so I was thinking

193
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 2: about lunchables, dependables, ty, how about that for Georgia figuring

194
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 2: out who is Kendall Milton of this year? Who is

195
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 2: Lad mcconkeye, who is brock Bowers? Right, it's going to emerge,

196
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 2: you know with the sort of a new look offense

197
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 2: in some regards, it's probably needed against this Clemson defense.

198
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 2: Who are those dependables at receiver, tight end, experience again,

199
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 2: running back Trevory Tan, whoever it is, I can't wait

200
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 2: to find out.

201
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now I'm not sure if Trevory Tan is going

202
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: to play.

203
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 2: No, probably not him this week.

204
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

205
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 2: Well, and we don't know for sure, but there was

206
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 2: some off field stuff. I'm saying, just big picture, who

207
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 2: is that person he could be.

208
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see if he plays in this game.

209
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 1: He could be suspended. That's kind of a thing that

210
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: would have some effect, not so much on Georgia's bill

211
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: to run the football, but maybe in pass protections and

212
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: things like that, if you've got a guy in there

213
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: who's less experienced at one point on the Clemson offense, though,

214
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: I think you're right to bring that up. I do

215
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: think they're dramatically better at wide receiver, if only because

216
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: they went out and they got by guy TJ. Moore,

217
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: the big freshman wide receiver. I am genuinely curious to

218
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: see if they can get him involved at all. Curious

219
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: to see if they can take some shots against this

220
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: Georgia secondary because I think if you're gonna beat George's defense,

221
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 1: that's the obvious area to go at.

222
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 2: That sounds super easy, right, to just take it to

223
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 2: the Georgia defense. Right, That sounds like a reasonable thing

224
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 2: for you to bring up as something Clemson should be

225
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 2: able to do. I'm concerned that Clemson's not gonna be

226
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 2: able to run the football. Okay, and if you can't

227
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 2: run the football, you're not gonna be able to throw.

228
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 2: If Georgia is able to make you one dimensional, it's ballgame.

229
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 2: And especially if you've got Caid club Nick throwing it

230
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 2: thirty two times? Do you trust kid Clubnick to throw

231
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 2: at thirty two times to try and overcome any sort

232
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 2: of red zone issues like they had last season.

233
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: I'm just not sure what we're going to get out

234
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: of the Clemson offense. I think over the long haul,

235
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: it'll be better, but this is not the game where

236
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: they're suddenly going to take a quantum leap forward. Well.

237
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 2: Look, if they score an offensive touchdown tie, it's more

238
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 2: than they did last time against Georgia. They didn't score

239
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:18,599
Speaker 2: a touchdown at all. I don't think a touchdown was

240
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 2: scored in that game on offense. I think it was

241
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 2: a pick six for Georgia and like a ten six

242
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 2: or ten seven win a couple of years ago. Does

243
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 2: that sound right a DJU game? Yeah?

244
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: This has the hallmark to me of a classic Georgia

245
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: crock potting. Okay, it's close for two and a half quarters,

246
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: Georgia pulls away in the second half. I've got it

247
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: at thirty one seventeen Georgia.

248
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 2: I don't think they're going to score thirty plus points

249
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 2: against Clemson defense. I have at twenty one to thirteen.

250
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 2: I have it as a second half in which Clemson

251
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 2: has like four drives to tie it and they don't

252
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 2: write a frustrating second half for Clemson with the on.

253
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 1: The points here plus thirteen and a half.

254
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 2: Plus thirteen and a half is the spread right now? Yeah?

255
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: Are you sure you can go look it up if

256
00:11:58,520 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 1: you want to. I just I have this as I

257
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: wrote this down is three and a half. No, it's

258
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: thirteen and a half.

259
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 2: Clemson is a thirteen and a half point dog against Georgia.

260
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I'm taking those points. Yes, absolutely.

261
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: Should we get to lock it up while we're here?

262
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 1: Do you want to give me the lock lock of

263
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: the week?

264
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 2: Oh my god?

265
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 1: Ty the accidental lock for Dan Rubinstein.

266
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 2: That's an insane spread to me.

267
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: Thirteen and a half points.

268
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 2: Oh my god, happily happily taking those points.

269
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: There it is thirty one seventeen. I want Georgia.

270
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 2: Twenty one thirteen Clemson covers.

271
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: Let's go to high noon again on Fox.

272
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 2: It's a big opener, right opening window.

273
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: Penn State minus eight at West Virginia last year was

274
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: in state college as one of our for bawlers wrote

275
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: to us on Twitter on x zed it at us

276
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: and said that.

277
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 2: I don't like it when people zee it at us, Ty,

278
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 2: It's an unpleasant experience.

279
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: What West Virginia took it personally that Penn State scored

280
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: a eight touchdown covered the spread a year ago. Maybe

281
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: that's true, maybe that's not. My theory of this game

282
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 1: is pretty simple. I think West Virginia wants to grind

283
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: you down with the run. I think they were very

284
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: good at doing it a year ago. That's why Neil

285
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 1: Brown got the contract extension. I think they'll be good

286
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: at doing it again. I like West Virginia an awful

287
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: lot this season. I would just like them a little

288
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: bit more if I felt that they had the same

289
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 1: amount of pass pop as they do on the ground.

290
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: So I like Garret Green, I like this team. I

291
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: am concerned that Penn State can take away the rushing attack,

292
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: force West Virginia out of its element, and put them

293
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 1: in a bit of a boxy lean Penn State. The

294
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: pointspread has come down, not dramatically. At one point. I

295
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,719
Speaker 1: saw it at nine and a half last week when

296
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 1: I put the doc together, I think I saw it

297
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: at eight and a half. Now it's come down to eight.

298
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: So there's movement downward, movement on that Penn State line.

299
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: It is at eight currently. The game is in Morgantown.

300
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 1: It's a gust game. It's a Joel Clack game on Fox.

301
00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: Where do you stand here?

302
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 2: I stand that I'm gonna have this on the other TV.

303
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 2: I cannot wait for eleven am Central. So, Okay, West

304
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 2: Virginia's fascinating because they're looking to sort of prove that

305
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,719
Speaker 2: their arrival last year was a true arrival. They win

306
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 2: nine games with the bowl game, and Penn State's in

307
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 2: that place where the conversation is centered around, Okay, they

308
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 2: can go ten and two, but you know, what are

309
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 2: they doing to break through? It's easier now with the playoff,

310
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 2: you know, accepting more teams. But it's sort of that

311
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 2: like was it Dwayne Wade who did the Gatorade commercial

312
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 2: like knock me down seven times, get up eight. That's

313
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 2: the feeling with Penn State, right that, like new Year,

314
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 2: what are we doing to get up just one extra time?

315
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 2: And so it's offense, it's new two new coordinators, and

316
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 2: to me it's it's a question of Penn State playing

317
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 2: tennis and not pickleball. Right, that's the very easy answer

318
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 2: that like in a tough place, what are you doing?

319
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 2: Not just to say that you have a new offense,

320
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 2: but you're fully leaning on whatever the new Andy cotil

321
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 2: Nikki offense is, whether it's downfield, whether it's you know,

322
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 2: different motion and you know, having defense, you know, sea ghosts,

323
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. That's what I'm interested in with

324
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 2: Penn State and West Virginia. To me, it's just like

325
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 2: against Penn State in this moment at home, can you

326
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 2: get a defense to sort of use the crowd behind

327
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 2: you and sort of summon rattle ability? Right that, Like, okay,

328
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 2: Penn State, prove it, and you're gonna have to prove

329
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 2: it with a sea of gold or whatever. People are

330
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 2: wearing at West Virginia for this one, and noise and

331
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 2: chaos and just weird things occurring everywhere around you. I

332
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 2: can't wait for this.

333
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: I am going to blindly trust that the new offense

334
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: for Penn State pays some quick dividends.

335
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 2: Week one on the road. It's week one on the road.

336
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: But what I like about what Andy cootel Nikki did

337
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: at at Clemson at Kansas.

338
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a huh, that's close.

339
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: He built a really effective ground attack and it is

340
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: not something that I think, God it's due in his

341
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: time there. They ran the damn hell out of the ball.

342
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: It was a good rushing attack. And he's got Nick Singleton,

343
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: he's got k Tron Allen just waiting for him on

344
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: the shelf. And so when you're in a hostile road

345
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: environment like I think we will have on Saturday at

346
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: high noon Eastern, I think you can lean on running

347
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: the football, not putting Drew Aller in a position where

348
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: he's got to go out there and win the game. Like,

349
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: let's get away from that mentality. I know he's a

350
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: five star quarterback. Maybe he will get there. But they've

351
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: got their own issues to sort out with the passing

352
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: game and the receiver room and all that stuff. The

353
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: thing that Penn State has they know they have that

354
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: everybody in the country knows they have, is a running game.

355
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: They didn't get as much pop out of that a

356
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: year ago as I was hoping. I think this is

357
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: the guy who can come in and start there, use that,

358
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: build the plane out of that, and see where things go.

359
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: I think Penn State is good enough to slow down

360
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: that ground atack on the West Virginia side because their

361
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: defensive line is awesome. I think their own rushing attack

362
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: is really the thing to watch here. If they can

363
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: spring that loose in the early part of this game,

364
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: then suddenly maybe we get chances for Drew Aller to

365
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: take some shots down the field. I'm interested to see

366
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: what that receiver room looks like. I would expect that

367
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: they would try to stretch the field a lot more

368
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: than they did a year ago. But I do think,

369
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: much like the game I discussed a moment ago with Clemson,

370
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: I think it's it's important that Penn State figure out

371
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: some way to run the damn ball. If they can

372
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: do that, I think Penn Stan ends up winning this

373
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 1: game twenty eight to seventeen.

374
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough, so they cover winning by slight double digits.

375
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 2: By the way, Andykte till Nicky, I'm gonna nail this

376
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 2: all season long, by the way. Yeah, you said till

377
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 2: not tell, and I'm just fully till Coe till so,

378
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:46,959
Speaker 2: Coe till Nicky.

379
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 1: Correct.

380
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 2: Yes, Kansas shop fifty five on this West Virginia defense

381
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 2: two Septembers ago, so not last year. So whatever stock

382
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 2: you put in that that he has prepared for West

383
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 2: Virginia recently, there's that asas a different team, different quarterback,

384
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 2: different running backs.

385
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 1: Right.

386
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 2: I really like West Virginia's chances in this one just

387
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 2: because I think what Penn State has to do in

388
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 2: terms of getting fluent with a new offensive and defensive coordinator,

389
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 2: not that they're running totally different systems. Right, It's probably

390
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 2: going to be a marriage what Penn State has done

391
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 2: and what they can add on to. But fluency week

392
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 2: one on the road West Virginia, experience on this West

393
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 2: Virginia offense, playmakers on this West Virginia offense. Explosion plays

394
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 2: on this West Virginia offense last year. Look, the Penn

395
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 2: State defense is I think two tough a mountain to

396
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 2: climb ultimately, but I have West Virginia making this a game,

397
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 2: losing twenty four to twenty. Penn State wins is happy

398
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 2: to get back to State College with the w after

399
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 2: what I think is going to be a tough sledding

400
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 2: situation in Morgantown.

401
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: We do have adrew allerprop on run the board.

402
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 2: Oh what is it?

403
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 1: Over? Under one and a half? Passing touchdowns is one

404
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: of the selections you'll have. So I think you'll get one,

405
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: We'll you get two. That's for you to decide on

406
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: the board dot com. Let's move on. Let's go to

407
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: Saturday at three thirty. The three thirty block of games.

408
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: By the way, I am not going to do a

409
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: window of opportunity in week one. If you need one,

410
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: that's on you. We'll start that next week or maybe

411
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: the week after. But three point thirty block, this is

412
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: the clear headliner. There are a bunch of games three thirty.

413
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: We're going to talk through some more of them a

414
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: little bit later on, but this is the headliner in

415
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 1: the state of Florida on ABC. It is the Miami

416
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: Hurricanes minus two and a half on the road in

417
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,199
Speaker 1: the swamp against the Florida Gators. So, as you know,

418
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: I am the token Miami cheerleader of this podcast. I

419
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 1: have them winning the ACC over Clemson. I am terrified

420
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: of this game. I am terrified of this game in

421
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 1: the Swamp against a team, against a coach that feels

422
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: like has its back against the wall. They're over under

423
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: his four and a half this year. I think it's

424
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: a decent team with a terrible schedule, and there are

425
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 1: many questions to obvious ones that I can go into.

426
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: Am I wrong to feel terrified about the spot? Clearly

427
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 1: Vegas has seen this as a close game given the

428
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: points spread.

429
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 2: Oh, I'd be very concerned just because it's Week one, right,

430
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 2: There's so much that is novel and new and weird

431
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 2: that always happens in Week one that doesn't necessarily have

432
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 2: any basis in fact for the rest of the season.

433
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 2: But this is as deep as many of these teams

434
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 2: are going to be. You know, they don't have a

435
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 2: crazy crucial injury that's hanging over them, and the Swamp

436
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 2: is still going to be a pretty horrific place to

437
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 2: play for a lot of teams, let alone one that

438
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 2: is hated in state. So the emotion is going to

439
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 2: be running high. There's a good amount of experience, especially

440
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 2: on offense. For Florida, I love this game too. I mean,

441
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 2: maybe it's just because we've been in a college football

442
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 2: desert for a long time. But no Miami on Miami

443
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 2: this year and starting this week is just like their

444
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 2: quest to be boring. Right. We don't want to talk

445
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 2: about a Miami team that only lost to this inferior

446
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 2: team because their quarterback threw three picks, or because their

447
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 2: coach couldn't manage the clock, or for some crazy reason

448
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 2: Miami lost a winnable game. So that's Miami's quest this year,

449
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 2: just boring success right that. Yep, they're up ten in

450
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter and they won by ten and nothing

451
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 2: notable happened. And for Florida it's I mean, I guess

452
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 2: it's a quest for boring, but it's it's a quest

453
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 2: to build something immediately, so the back half of their

454
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 2: schedule isn't as daunting, especially on defense. They were the

455
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 2: leakiest defense in terms of big plays last year. Miami

456
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 2: not great themselves, right in terms of giving up big plays.

457
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 2: So for Florida to me, it's I mean, both of

458
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 2: these teams really it's a matter of what's your the

459
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 2: Katie Perry guy on this show. Right, it's hot, cold,

460
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 2: up down left. Right, it's a clean and dirty thing

461
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 2: for Miami. Right, stay clean on offense, get dirty on defense,

462
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 2: get down, wrestle somebody down after seven yards instead of

463
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 2: giving up thirty seven. And so I this game should

464
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 2: be great. There should be again a lot of emotion

465
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 2: in this one. I actually think ultimately the Miami upside

466
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 2: is more interesting to me, even on the road, even

467
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 2: in this spot. And I have them winning with some

468
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 2: comfort here thirty one to twenty.

469
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: I've got thirty to twenty two. There. It is Miami

470
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: as well. I think it's a bad matchup for Florida.

471
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: I don't fully trust Miami for what it's worth to

472
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 1: put a game on ice. We've seen that song and

473
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: dance before. Right, But the two questions that bounced around

474
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: on my head a lot, just thinking back to the

475
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: preview I did of Florida, it's wine play. Wine play

476
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: is kind of central to what Billion Napier wants this

477
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: team to be. And it wasn't there a year ago.

478
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: It affected everything they wanted to do. They had no

479
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: explosion as a result of it. So have they found

480
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: a way to fix that to any extent in the

481
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: off season. That's the first thing that I think we'll

482
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 1: see against Miami, and the second is defense. That's been

483
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: the question running for two years now. Did they solve

484
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 1: that in the off season. My hunches know if they

485
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: don't solve it quickly, the season's kind of over before

486
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 1: it starts. That's when we start getting into that territory

487
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: of like, hey, they get fired after the UCF game

488
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 1: a little bit later this year, that type of thing,

489
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: as we talked about in the preseason. So Napier for

490
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: his part, he did go a full line change with

491
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: the defensive staff, with the exception of the guys at

492
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 1: the top. He brought in some recruits. He brought in

493
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: some transfers in addition to guys that are returning like

494
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: Shamar James, etc. Etc. I don't think it's a talent

495
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: thing anymore on the defensive side of the ball. I

496
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: think it's a coaching thing and they can't figure out

497
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: a way to solve that riddle. This is going to

498
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: be a really really rough campaign given the schedule. Again,

499
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: the over under his four and a half wins. For me,

500
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 1: I'm just in a position where with Miami's line with

501
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: cam Ward, with Damian Martinez, with just those three pieces

502
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 1: that I know they have on offense. In theory, this

503
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: is a game that Miami should win. But it's in state,

504
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 1: it's on the road. It will be a raucous environment.

505
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 1: It wouldn't surprise me if it's close for a while.

506
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 1: But I like the Canes again, thirty to twenty two.

507
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 2: That's my final I enjoy that this is going to

508
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 2: be the message board matchup of the week that people

509
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 2: will fully melt down after Week one if it doesn't

510
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 2: go correctly just because of the opponent, just because of

511
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 2: the pressure on both of these teams right now to

512
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 2: show something that they didn't last year. And we get

513
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 2: cam Ward, right, you get a huge name at quarterback

514
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 2: stepping in at Miami, another quarterback for Miami who's going

515
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 2: to hopefully be something that they haven't had recently. But yeah,

516
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 2: Miami goes down to Florida. Given everybody's doom and gloom

517
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 2: about the Gators, full meltdown, Florida goes down to Miami

518
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 2: and it's over. It's done. So man, it's done. I mean,

519
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 2: I don't I'm not saying they should, but I'm saying

520
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 2: that's going to be the message board tenor well, speaking

521
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 2: of games where both teams need it and need it bad,

522
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 2: seven point thirty ABC Notre Dame on the Road at Texas,

523
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 2: A and M.

524
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 1: A and M favored by three points three points. This

525
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: line has moved in their direction. I consulted with some

526
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: of our friends in the desert. It is not the

527
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:03,479
Speaker 1: public bet the squares like you and me. It is

528
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: the sharps. It is the guys and gals that pay

529
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: their bills with these bets that move this line, and

530
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: moved it relatively early, so there's confidence at A and

531
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: M can pull it off. Dan, I have many thoughts

532
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: in this game. I've got Notre Dame pennants behind me.

533
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: I've been thinking about this game for about six months. Now.

534
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: Let me start with you and then I can do

535
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 1: my little diatribe. Where are you at? With Notre Dame

536
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: at A and M. A lot new on both sides

537
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: that I'm sure we can get into, but this is

538
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: a big spot. This is the Herbian Fowler game. Yeah,

539
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: where are you at?

540
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 2: Are you still sleeping with your Howard cross body pillow?

541
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 2: Is that a thing that you've been doing lately? In

542
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 2: preparation of the return of I got it out of

543
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 2: the cross I got it out of the cross base. Yeah,

544
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 2: full size maybe yeah. I don't know how big Howard crosses.

545
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 2: I assume large. This is going to be really fun.

546
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 2: This is going to be quite fun for Notre Dame. Right,

547
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 2: it's just the the Marcus Freeman megazord. He's been given

548
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 2: the keys, you know, a high profile transfer quarterback yet again,

549
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 2: a high profile new offensive coordinator yet again. It seems like,

550
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 2: you know, the receiving position has been short up. Whatever

551
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 2: Marcus Freeman has needed, he has eventually gotten. Now he

552
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 2: just needs to be the one to win games with

553
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 2: all those players and all those additions to Notre Dame.

554
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 2: And I talk about the quest for boredom with Miami,

555
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 2: it's almost the identical thing with Texas A and M's.

556
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 2: Can Texas A and m now become a reflection of

557
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 2: Mike Elcho, which is just like smart, well regarded, savvy,

558
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 2: wins the right not the right way, but wins, you know,

559
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 2: pretty consistently and has had successes both the coordinator and

560
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 2: head coach pretty consistently. So this is me great and

561
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 2: Mike Elco has the history with Notre Dame. So you

562
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 2: always like the overlap, the narrative overlap there.

563
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 1: We need the monster truck rally voice to introduce this one,

564
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: like Elkole Lenner.

565
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 2: It's me great. I just I'm excited for Connor Weagman,

566
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 2: right that you get Connor Wegman hopefully like a symphony

567
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 2: of things together for a text A and m offense

568
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 2: that struggled, and then for Notre Dame it's just okay,

569
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 2: it's Mike Denbrock and Riley Leonard. What's that experience like

570
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 2: week one in a chaotic environment?

571
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: Well, it's not just them, it's the line. The line

572
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 1: is the problem.

573
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 2: I know you've been harping on what is your go to?

574
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 2: You're just like, they haven't looked cohesive.

575
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 1: Well, it's not even that they have six projected starts

576
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: returning on that offensive line, Okay, because they're starting a

577
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: freshman at left tackle, they're starting a sophomore at left

578
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: guard Notre Dames offensive line. To take that into Kyle

579
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 1: Field night game opening weekend, you have to have a

580
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: lot of blind faith to just assume that's going to

581
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: go swimmingly, even if you feel good about the all

582
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: the other pieces, which I do. I like Riley Leonard

583
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: a lot. I think he's a great player. I like

584
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 1: what they've got in the backfield. I think the receiver

585
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: room will be much improved. We know they've got a

586
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: good tight end. You have to assume Mike Elko will

587
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 1: come up with something exotic to throw at that offensive

588
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 1: line give and their inexperience. Yeah, and it worries me.

589
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: It worries me. Now, how does Mike Denbrock react to that?

590
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: Because there had been rumors for a while that they

591
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 1: were going to start a freshman Anthony Knapp at left tackle.

592
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: Do we see things like them trying to move the pocket.

593
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: Do we see quicker passes and screen passes and swing passes,

594
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: something to get a guy like a Jeremiah Love in space.

595
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: I think we will see more of that, more of

596
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: that maybe in Week one than we see any other

597
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: week of the season. I'm not an offensive coordinator, but

598
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: that's just maybe what I would do in college foot

599
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: ball twenty five. All right, So having that inexperience up front,

600
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 1: I think is a problem. They're gonna need to lean

601
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: on that defense for sure, to try and create some

602
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: disruption and give themselves some separation in a game like

603
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: this because their defense should be really good.

604
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 2: Which quarterback would you rather be Saturday night?

605
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: Rather be? Personally?

606
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, like, rather be not? In terms of like what

607
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 2: your life would be as a Notre Dame quarterback or

608
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 2: TEXTA SA A and M quarterback, Like would you rather

609
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 2: be Connorway with who he has in front of him?

610
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 2: Which is still a question. On offensive line, I think

611
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 2: some talented receivers. There's a beat up running back room

612
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:11,479
Speaker 2: with Ruben Owens going down, but I think more proven,

613
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 2: more in the way of proven at receiver now Moose

614
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 2: Muhammad sort of comes into the starting lineup. Or would

615
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 2: you rather be Riley Leonard with promising but unproven receivers

616
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 2: a new line and be on the road? So like,

617
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 2: whose brain would you rather inhabit Saturday night, Riley Leonard

618
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 2: or Connor Wegman. I would rather be Connor Wegman, I mean,

619
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 2: but arguably throwing into a more difficult defense.

620
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: I think that's fair. But I'd almost always rather be

621
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: at home in a big spot, okay, than be on

622
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: the road, especially with a new line. Look for penalties

623
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: from that line. I mean, that's one of the things

624
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: you see when you've got relative inexperience.

625
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 2: It's a good A and M defensive line by the way, too,

626
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 2: it's a really good defensive line.

627
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. I do think though, that Mike Denbrock is the

628
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: right guy for this moment to call the place for

629
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, because if it were Jared Parker a year ago,

630
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: they just run at twenty times, run at twenty times,

631
00:29:58,400 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: and then if that didn't work, they wouldn't have a

632
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: second pitch. I think den Brock is smart enough as

633
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: a coordinator to figure out a way around that and

634
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: at least put his quarterback in a position to get

635
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: outside the pocket to throw down field, to provide a second,

636
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: a third pitch for a defense that look, they'll be

637
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: coached up with Mike Elco. I am not crazy about

638
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: the line situation for Notre Dame. I do love pretty

639
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: much everything else, including their own defense, which I think

640
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: will be really good and is still kind of underrated.

641
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: I think this is a defensive line for Notre Dame

642
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: that sets the tone in this game and for Notre

643
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: Dame the rest of the season. Notre Dame's gonna win

644
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: this game outright, twenty seven to twenty one. Wow, on

645
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: the road, They're gonna win this game out right twenty

646
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: seven to twenty one. I thought about locking it up,

647
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: but my locks have been really unlucky over the last

648
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: three years now, so I'm not gonna jinx my own

649
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: team by doing that. But Notre Dame is winning this

650
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: game twenty seven to twenty.

651
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 2: One if the grade is one hundred out of one

652
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 2: hundred of what Notre Dame's offense looks like as it

653
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 2: relates to what LSUS looked like last year, not necessarily

654
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 2: in the success, but like what the offense is, what

655
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 2: the intentions are? One hundred is identical, zero is completely different.

656
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 2: Like what do you think the overlap is with this

657
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 2: year's Notre Dame team compared to the last year's LSU team?

658
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 2: Like will they run Riley Leonard a bunch like Jayden

659
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 2: Daniels's run and they were like crazy efficient as a

660
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:16,719
Speaker 2: running team last year LSU.

661
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, look, I don't know if we know

662
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: enough to put a number on it quite yet. It's

663
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: also much different personnel for Notre Dame than it was

664
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: for LSU a year ago. But I'll say this, it

665
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: does speak to what I think the game plan needs

666
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: to be in this game. Given the line, you might

667
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: see some quicker passes. He might see some RPO stuff, really,

668
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: anything that can put the defensive front on skates that

669
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: could put the ball in the hands of Riley Letter

670
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: to let him make that decision. So I think they

671
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: will put him in plenty of opportunities to go out

672
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: there and run the football, and I think there will

673
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: be some subset of the offense that relies on him

674
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: doing that, at least the threat of his legs. If

675
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: nothing more. He's really good at escaping sacks. He's done

676
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: that really well over the course of his career. His mobility,

677
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: his elusiveness gives them something that they did not have

678
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: a year ago with Sam Hartman, who was not his

679
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: fleet of foot ran for a big one against Duke

680
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: to bail him out, but that's not his game. This

681
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: is very much Riley Leonard's game. That's part of why

682
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: I like the fit here. So the offense as a whole,

683
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: I think will look a lot different than it did

684
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: a year ago, if only because he did the same

685
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: four things last year. This year there will be a

686
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: lot more variability and hopefully, given a deeper receiver room,

687
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna have more options go downfield to figure something

688
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: out and stretch this defense out or at least provide

689
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: that threat.

690
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 2: By the way, I have something spicy that informs my pick.

691
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: Oh is this our Wendy's This is our Wendy's saucy

692
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: nugget of the week. Well, go for it.

693
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 2: I looked I would probably go get like garlic parmesan

694
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 2: or like a honey barbecue.

695
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: I think that would be my sob A buffalo guy myself.

696
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 2: You go Buffalo. That's fine, totally acceptable. My Wendy's Saucy

697
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 2: nug of the Week is the fact that Mike Alco,

698
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 2: in his first year at Duke's previous job, was only

699
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 2: there for a couple of years at a place that

700
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 2: was probably easier to play than Kyle Field, less of

701
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 2: a home field advantage, maybe with a quarterback who didn't

702
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 2: have as high a ceiling as a Connor Wegman. And

703
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 2: the best Riley letter was really good five and one

704
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:15,479
Speaker 2: at home against the spread, really Texas last year in

705
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 2: his first year. He's only there two years. But yeah,

706
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 2: remember they were, like I consider them to be like

707
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 2: a gust of wind away from being eleven and one.

708
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: Yeah they were Duke, they were. Yeah, they were five

709
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: and one at home against the spread.

710
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 2: Are five and one at home against the spread. Mike

711
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 2: Elcho different team, different time, different conference, whatever. I kind

712
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 2: of like that with this home field advantage in Week one, though,

713
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 2: So I'm taking A and M twenty three seventeen and covering.

714
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: That is a saucy nug.

715
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 2: I've been told by my many people, I've had extremely

716
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 2: saucy nugs.

717
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: Continue seven delicious ways to try the nugs you already loved.

718
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: You just make a flavor, You grab some extra napkins,

719
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: prepared a nug like you've never nugged before.

720
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 2: Oh, I've nugged for a whole.

721
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: New way to nug It's got to be Wendy's Dan.

722
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: It's got to be let's go to Sunday night now,

723
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: so we travel ahead time.

724
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 2: I don't know if traveling ahead, I don't know what

725
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 2: that sound is.

726
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: Try to do that in reverse ABC USC against LSU.

727
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 1: This game is in Vegas. LSU is a four point favorite.

728
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: Vegas has set this with a sixty four and one

729
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 1: half over under, so they see it as something like

730
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 1: I did the math. I busted out the calculator thirty

731
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: five thirty one LSU something like that. Yeah, I think

732
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: that may mean this is our first shootout of the year.

733
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 2: Now has the potential.

734
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,919
Speaker 1: It's got real shootout potential. Dan also my first game

735
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: of the year, quoting the wise prophet is shanty.

736
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 2: I like how all of our references end in two

737
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 2: thousand and six, right, I've referenced Katie Perry, You've gone

738
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 2: a shanty we whatever year that was. I don't know

739
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 2: what happened then, but that's when our pop Cultzer references

740
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 2: effectively ended.

741
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 1: Continue. It's about trust, babe, Yeah, it's about trust.

742
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 2: It's about trust.

743
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: Who do you trust more in this game? What do

744
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: you trust in this game? Is there anything trustworthy in

745
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: this game?

746
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 2: Yes? I think the receivers in this game, on both

747
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 2: sides of the ball are going to be crazy impressive.

748
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 2: I think what LSU brings back and brings in from

749
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 2: the portal, the younger guys from USC, whether it's Deuce Robinson,

750
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 2: Jacoby Lane, Zachariah Branch Kaya, Lemon, guys like that. I

751
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,399
Speaker 2: think it's going to be a high level ceiling at

752
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 2: receiver that there are a good number of playmakers on

753
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:29,280
Speaker 2: both of these teams, and it'll come down to shocker

754
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 2: given these two teams, who can tackle and get in

755
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 2: the way of these receivers more often, or rush the

756
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,919
Speaker 2: quarterback better to prevent the receivers from even getting the ball.

757
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 2: So this is this is great. What I have down

758
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 2: here for the USC narrative stops just stops. Like, what

759
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 2: is USC's place in the college football universe if they

760
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 2: can't get stops? And LSU is just like I guess

761
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 2: it's somewhat somewhat of that, but it's also weirdly a

762
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 2: Brian Kelly two point zero at LSU with two new coordinators,

763
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 2: using a Heisman quarterback, and only losing openers. So Brian

764
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 2: Kelly has this opportunity for a fresh start at the

765
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 2: place he has already been for a few years. This

766
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 2: is great.

767
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: Let me sing the anthem of Oklahoma fans everywhere. I

768
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: don't trust Lincoln Riley.

769
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 2: Okay, that's reasonable.

770
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: I don't. He's never proven he can fix a defense,

771
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 1: never really played defense.

772
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 2: I had a good defense at Oklahoma.

773
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,320
Speaker 1: Tie a good defense.

774
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 2: Let's not be let's not erase the Ronnie Perkins experience.

775
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: Continua. He's not proven that he can fix a defense though.

776
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: He just hasn't. And I feel like every year with

777
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley, all we talk about is well, if the

778
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 1: defense could be ten spots better on the esp plus

779
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,720
Speaker 1: or a point and a half better per drive.

780
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 2: I like this voice, right, I like that. Lincoln Riley

781
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 2: also does the voiceover reads for ESPN Mountain Dew.

782
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's just every year it's the same thing

783
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: with this guy. Good offense, questionable defense. It's like Hoody

784
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: and the blowfish Man. Everything sounds the same. Another reference.

785
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: I'm nothing if not a two thousand and six pop

786
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 1: culture reference machine, like the butthole surfers said, Ty, it's great.

787
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: I just I don't trust him, and I like Dan Lynne.

788
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 1: I like what he did at UCLA. Yeah, I have

789
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 1: no faith that Lincoln Rowley is going to fix this thing.

790
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 1: It's very much in the same vein as the Iowa conversation,

791
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: like did they fix the offense? We'll get better under

792
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,320
Speaker 1: tim Lester. It seems like it should get better under whoever,

793
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: Brian Farrens, Tim Lester, whoever's calling the plays, and it

794
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: never does. It's a head coach thing.

795
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 2: I don't know. Man, this is still a sport, and

796
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 2: this is more broadly speaking, it's still a sport where

797
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 2: a team never does it until they do a coach

798
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 2: never does it until they do. Jim Harbough can never

799
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 2: beat Ohio State, and Al does.

800
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 1: Call me late at night on Sunday when you see

801
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 1: something defensively that you like from USC. In fact, cal

802
00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: our reaver blind eight five five verbal three five verbal

803
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: three is going to be open for business this weekend.

804
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,280
Speaker 1: We'll play the reverbs on the Saturday night live stream.

805
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 1: So but call after this game too and we'll play

806
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: it on Tuesday if you've got something to say about

807
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: the USC defense. I think Brian Kelly has a much

808
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: better track record for fixing things, a much better track

809
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,359
Speaker 1: record for being a better head coach. I think their

810
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: offensive line is going to push USC's defensive line around

811
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 1: full stop. That is the difference in this game. USC's

812
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 1: front may be better this year, They're still not good

813
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 1: enough to get the better of LSU in this game.

814
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 1: So I see a lot of points. I played the

815
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 1: shootouts sound I believe it. And this is not to

816
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 1: say that LS is gonna come out there. And another

817
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: reference for the kids, the eighty five Bears is not

818
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: walking through that stadium door. Okay, but I think they

819
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: will be better. I think they've got more weapons that

820
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 1: I can trust on offense. I think they're going to

821
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: lay the wood in this game, LSU forty two to

822
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: twenty seven, lay the four and lock it the freak

823
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: up wow look of the week.

824
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 2: Can I My counterpoint to this is, does it scare

825
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 2: you at all that the central belief system of Garrett

826
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 2: nuss Smeier is I don't know. Let's see what happens

827
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 2: and throw it deep. Let's just see what happens. Maybe

828
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:17,720
Speaker 2: something wild will happen.

829
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 1: It's gonna be good TV in Vegas.

830
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 2: It's Vegas.

831
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,439
Speaker 1: It's a perfect show for Vegas. I love the game.

832
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,320
Speaker 1: I love the matchup. I love sort of the theater

833
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 1: of this because it's two offenses and two non existent

834
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: defenses from a year ago. Yeah, both with a ton

835
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: of changes that they've got to absorb. I think the

836
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: line is right. I understand like all of the kind

837
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: of data points that led Vegas, that led whoever to

838
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,439
Speaker 1: make this a four point line with a high over under. Yeah.

839
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: I just think LCS better.

840
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, LS is better. We'll see if the LSU defense

841
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,760
Speaker 2: looks like what we believe in LSU defense to normally

842
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 2: look like with a lot of the same players bringing

843
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 2: in more transfers, hopefully it is for a more competitive

844
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 2: and more complete LSU team. I'm going to take the

845
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 2: points here, Ty, I just think that there is an

846
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 2: assumption that LSU has fixed everything because they've hired a

847
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 2: new defensive coordinator, and I think they will eventually. But

848
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,919
Speaker 2: in Week one, I think we're gonna get a weird

849
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 2: back and forth shootout. And I know you know that

850
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 2: I believe in taking points in a shootout. So if

851
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 2: you're going to introduce this game and say there's a

852
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 2: lot on the table, anything can happen. It's a neutral

853
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 2: site in an NFL stadium, a lot of big receivers,

854
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 2: not a lot of proof of defensive prowess. At this moment,

855
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:39,240
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take the points. I'm going to take those points.

856
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 2: I think one really good way to get better on defense,

857
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 2: even though you said you've never seen Lincoln Riley get

858
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 2: better on defense, bring in new players and new coaches.

859
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 2: It's about as dramatic as you can make it. Now.

860
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 2: The players have to be really good, the coaches have

861
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 2: to be really good. I think they're quality. I don't

862
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,800
Speaker 2: think they're all American caliber. I think there's more quality

863
00:40:56,840 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 2: on this defense. There's more quality at linebacker. There's more

864
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 2: quality in the secondary. You're not wrong about the mismatch,

865
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 2: potentially with LSU's offensive line and USC up front, I

866
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 2: think there's more quality on this USC defense. I'm not

867
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 2: singing the praises of a return to a top forty defense,

868
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,720
Speaker 2: but I think in week one, I think in perhaps

869
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:18,959
Speaker 2: a weirdly, I mean, there's gonna be more LSU people

870
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 2: there than SC but like it's not a true home,

871
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 2: not a true road. I think we're gonna get back

872
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 2: and forth, and so I have LSU winning this game

873
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 2: by a field goal, but I do have the points here.

874
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 1: Final big Dog. Before we get to the remainder of

875
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 1: the show, where we're gonna talk about a bunch of

876
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:37,800
Speaker 1: games windows, I'm turning my legal pad page secretly decent games.

877
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 1: This is the Monday Night game. I don't think it's

878
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: nearly as big as any of the previous six we mentioned.

879
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 1: Monday Night, Labor Day, seven thirty Eastern ABC. It's Boston

880
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 1: College at Florida State. This game is more interesting now.

881
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 1: Florida State is a fifteen and a half point favorite.

882
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: Right after the loss last week in Ireland, this line

883
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: came down. It was seventeen and a half when I

884
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 1: made the document. I updated it this morning. It's now

885
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: fifteen and a half. So what genuinely makes me curious

886
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 1: is this not kind of a Georgia Tech situation again

887
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: for Florida State.

888
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 2: Oh Ty, don't go down this road. Continue.

889
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,760
Speaker 1: Well, here's what I mean by that. They're not in Ireland. Granted,

890
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 1: no playing it at home, better circumstance. But BC's got

891
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 1: our guy, Thomas Castianos okay a good runner ten stories

892
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: high if he's a foot.

893
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 2: A horrific defense from last year. Yeah, what Georgia Tech

894
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 2: had to.

895
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 1: I think their line's in okay shape. I think their

896
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: offense is in okay shape. But like Bill O'Brien, I

897
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 1: liked that they went out and they got Treshawan Ward

898
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 1: to come in and upgrade the running, back room, defensive

899
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 1: questions abound. The same was true for Georgia Tech, but

900
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 1: they seem to improve. My whole thesis on Boston College

901
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: is that they will be better than you think. This

902
00:42:56,320 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: year amid a transition, new coach knew everything. I think

903
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: they will be better off than many people think they are.

904
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 2: In take the point shit, I do it, do it.

905
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:08,359
Speaker 1: They are in okay shape. Yeah, I've got this, says

906
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:12,280
Speaker 1: thirty five seventeen Florida State close for a while.

907
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you coward.

908
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 1: Thirty five seventeen Florida State wins and covers at home.

909
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 2: So you, while you think Boston College is feisty, you

910
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:27,320
Speaker 2: are ultimately sneaking Florida State past the line.

911
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: I'm sneaking them past the line. I can't see it

912
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 1: happening two weeks in a row.

913
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 2: To Mike Marville, Okay, are you familiar, I'm not taking

914
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 2: the points. Are you familiar with the the dating concept

915
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:38,280
Speaker 2: of a rebound situation?

916
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: Yeah?

917
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 2: Sure, Okay, so you're with somebody, it doesn't work out,

918
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 2: you're in a bad place. Sometimes you just need a

919
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 2: rebound situation to sort of exhale and sort of move on.

920
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

921
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 2: Florida State's already played still undefeated domestically, as we've mentioned,

922
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:00,040
Speaker 2: and I think they just need a rebound and the

923
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 2: point of a rebound tie. Excuse me if this comes

924
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 2: a clock cross as being crass to lay that wood tie.

925
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 2: I think Florida State is going to.

926
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:08,399
Speaker 1: Do just that.

927
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 2: Boston College doesn't have the advantage of playing a game

928
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 2: yet Florida State does. They have the opportunity to correct

929
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:18,359
Speaker 2: things immediately. Based on live game action, Florida State's gonna

930
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 2: win this game forty five to fourteen.

931
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:26,320
Speaker 1: Forty five to fourteen, Yeah, absolutely, Okay, I've got thirty

932
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 1: five to seventeen. Now Florida State wins, it.

933
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:30,720
Speaker 2: Covers, they're going to look a lot better.

934
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,399
Speaker 1: I've got a secretly decent game here that I want

935
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 1: to call out before we go through our individual windows.

936
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 2: Please.

937
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: I feel like each week we've got one of these,

938
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: and I wanted to call it out here. I actually

939
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 1: don't have a sound for this, so I grabbed the

940
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 1: sound here says beefwe dot wave beef one. I have

941
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 1: no idea what this is going to sound like, so

942
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 1: let's just hit it's the beef.

943
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 2: Oh okay, isn't that Wendy's. Isn't that a nice little

944
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 2: crossover accident. I have no idea where that's I'm gonna

945
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 2: I'm gonna verify. I'm almost positive Wendy's as where's the beef?

946
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 1: Buzz the beaf? That would be incredible crossover. It is random.

947
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 1: It is perfect two pm Saturday, ESPN plus South Dakota

948
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: State at Oklahoma State. So there has been a lot

949
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: made of the Friday game, North Dakota State on the

950
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 1: road at Colorado identical point spreads by the way, both

951
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: their nine and a half. This game is interesting because

952
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 1: South Dakota State is the two time defending SCS national champion.

953
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,359
Speaker 1: They have quasi taken over that mantle from North Dakota State.

954
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 1: It is the lesser publicized Bison Buffalo game. Yeah, I

955
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 1: don't think South Dakota State can score with Oklahoma State.

956
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of turnover on the jack

957
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 1: Rabbit offense from last year's team. But I think where

958
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:54,840
Speaker 1: it gets dicey is if South Dakota State, on their defense,

959
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 1: which returns a ton, can keep this one within striking distance.

960
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 1: That's when you see the offense slow things down. That's

961
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 1: when you see them try to eat clock. What's interesting

962
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:08,800
Speaker 1: to me to watch in this game is the Poke's

963
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: offensive line against the jack Rabbits defensive line. And I

964
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,840
Speaker 1: say that because the entire line's back for the Pokes.

965
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 1: South Dakota State lost some, but they did the Georgia

966
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 1: thing a year ago, or they had a heavy rotation

967
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: of guys, so the guys playing are familiar with the

968
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,319
Speaker 1: scheme and what they're doing. Out there. This is not

969
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:28,760
Speaker 1: like a green unit up front, right. But what's interesting

970
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 1: about this matchup in particular, and we talked about it

971
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:33,959
Speaker 1: on the Oklahoma State Show that we did months ago.

972
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: Despite the fact that Ali Gordon went crazy and had

973
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 1: an incredible rushing season a year ago, if you look

974
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 1: at the actual line stats for Oklahoma State, they were

975
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 1: not good as a run blocking unit. Now, I don't

976
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 1: know how they score that. I'm not the stat guy

977
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 1: looking at the video and scoring lines one way or another.

978
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 1: But across the board, if you look at run blocking

979
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 1: stats for lines, Oklahoma States was not as good as

980
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 1: you would expect given what they can got from Oli Gordon. Essentially,

981
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:03,919
Speaker 1: what they got in the ground or on the ground

982
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 1: from Oli Gordon was because of his abilities, not because

983
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 1: of theirs. And so I'm just curious to see if

984
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 1: there is any kind of step forward against the defensive

985
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: front that's experienced in his own right. Probably not as

986
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:18,399
Speaker 1: good as Oklahoma State will see.

987
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 2: Probably not like the get off the bus side.

988
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, exactly. It's yeah, there will be

989
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: bigger defensive lines that Oklahoma State has to play throughout

990
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: the course of its Big twelve season without a shadow

991
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 1: of a doubt. But if they can't dominate in the

992
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,919
Speaker 1: trenches against South Dakota State, if they can't push those

993
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 1: guys around, I think that could be something of a

994
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 1: harbinger for what's to come this season. That would concern me.

995
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 1: So I'm looking for there to be real push and

996
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 1: real traction upfront in the trenches for Oklahoma State. I

997
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 1: trust Oklahoma State to win by fourteen points in this game, okay,

998
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 1: but I do think South Dakota State's going to give

999
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 1: him a bit of a game. I really do. I think

1000
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 1: they win. I think they cover at home. But I

1001
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 1: the jack Rabbits are a good team, and they've been

1002
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 1: good for a while. They've got some of their own

1003
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:10,799
Speaker 1: turnover to deal with, But this is the kind of

1004
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 1: game that can sneak sneak up on Oklahoma State. And

1005
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:16,280
Speaker 1: as somebody who has the Pokes in this Big Twelve

1006
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 1: title game, I certainly hope that does not happen, but

1007
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 1: it wouldn't surprise me.

1008
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, the early season woes last year, losing to like comfortably,

1009
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 2: I want to say to South Alabama that worries me

1010
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 2: a little bit. Looking not crazy competitive against was it

1011
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:33,399
Speaker 2: ASU in September as well, a down ASU team last

1012
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 2: year that worries me. It's a different thing. I don't

1013
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 2: think Oklahoma State is going to look past South Dakota State.

1014
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you who does I do. Because I

1015
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 2: immediately when I started studying this game, research San Diego State,

1016
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:46,920
Speaker 2: because you have SD.

1017
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: State written on the drive, I said it, I screwed

1018
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:52,440
Speaker 1: it up on my on my my, I'm I know.

1019
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 2: And then I looked at a schedule doing something else

1020
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, okay, I'm glad I caught

1021
00:48:56,680 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 2: that I have Oklahoma State winning this game with relative comfort. Eventually,

1022
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 2: I think it's a close halftime game that gets people's

1023
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:07,920
Speaker 2: attention on social media and ultimately, whether it's British comedy

1024
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 2: legend Alan Bowman, whether it's Olli Gordon, whoever. I think

1025
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 2: there's just going to be too much speed and size.

1026
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:17,320
Speaker 2: And you know, if this were like twenty twelve, then

1027
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:21,040
Speaker 2: a huge FCS monster had the ability to sneak up.

1028
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 2: I think there's too much tape out there. There's too

1029
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 2: much attention on football. People know that South Dakota State

1030
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 2: have been a championship program just in the way that

1031
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 2: they know North Dakota State is famously a championship program

1032
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 2: that they're going to have their full attention. So I

1033
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 2: have Oklahoma State winning this one by seventeen.

1034
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 1: What we do next on this show is we go

1035
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 1: through the different windows of games on a college football Saturday,

1036
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 1: the early, the afternoon, the late window. We will boot

1037
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:52,839
Speaker 1: those up here momentarily, very quickly, though, before we do,

1038
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 1: make sure you head on over to our YouTube channel. Yeah,

1039
00:49:56,280 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 1: check out Big Ten Breakfast, our new venture. As some

1040
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 1: of you are listening to this early in the day

1041
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: on Thursday, as some of you are watching it later,

1042
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:12,359
Speaker 1: you can go to YouTube dot com slash at Solid Verbal.

1043
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 1: We're putting it up early this week because there is

1044
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:18,720
Speaker 1: a Thursday night Big ten game between Minnesota and North Carolina.

1045
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,280
Speaker 1: We'd encourage you to go and check out that video.

1046
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna be doing it all year. Friday's nine am Eastern.

1047
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 1: It will run live on our YouTube channel.

1048
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 2: Cannot wait. It's a great show. It's fun. The Big

1049
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:34,480
Speaker 2: Ten has thirty four teams or approximately something like that.

1050
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 2: It's worth doing its own show. We're having fun with it.

1051
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 2: Ties a Big Ten alum, I guess now a Big

1052
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 2: Ten alum technically, yeah, it makes sense to do. It's

1053
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 2: a really fun different show.

1054
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 1: Let's boot up those windows please. Throughout the year, I

1055
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 1: think we're going to take turns picking a couple of

1056
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:55,759
Speaker 1: games that are of interest to us. There are a

1057
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 1: bunch of games obviously to go through that we did

1058
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 1: not mention at the top. There aren't as many in

1059
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 1: the early block as I think we're accustomed to seeing.

1060
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 1: So the four games that I'm just going to call

1061
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 1: out here that I think are of interest at high noon,

1062
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 1: Illinois State at Iowa IOA was a pretty hefty favorite

1063
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 1: here twenty two and a half. I just want to

1064
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 1: know what the Iowa offense is going to look like

1065
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,799
Speaker 1: and what we will see of that offense. I know

1066
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 1: Illinois State isn't necessarily the toughest opponent on the schedule.

1067
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 1: I would expect that Iowa is going to have their

1068
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 1: way with them, specifically on defense. But will we see

1069
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 1: any new wrinkles? And again I keep coming back to this,

1070
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:33,239
Speaker 1: will cade mcnamaro look better than he did in his

1071
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 1: intra squad scrimmage a couple of weeks ago. I've got

1072
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 1: Iowa minus whatever here. I I don't really care what

1073
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 1: the points for it is.

1074
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's I go borderline lock. Yeah, that's

1075
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 2: why I'm interested in this.

1076
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,360
Speaker 1: The one that I think I am going the opposite

1077
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:49,240
Speaker 1: direction on my zag is to go Vandy plus thirteen.

1078
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 2: I love this pick from you, TI, because I have

1079
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:52,920
Speaker 2: the same thing. Continue.

1080
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 1: Vandy is my home dog of the week, fame double dog, the.

1081
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 2: Yokus dog of the week, the double dog, brought to

1082
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 2: you by your new dog. You're now a double dog household.

1083
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:09,240
Speaker 2: I am a double dog household. This is a double

1084
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:13,400
Speaker 2: dog selection for us. I'm on Vandy plus the thirteen

1085
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 2: because the offense this year is gonna.

1086
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:18,319
Speaker 1: Be run heavy. Yeah, and I think it's one of

1087
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 1: those games where they just use up all the play

1088
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:24,880
Speaker 1: clock on every possession and limit how many bites at

1089
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:28,320
Speaker 1: the apple Virginia Tech has so they are at home.

1090
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:31,560
Speaker 1: They are a thirteen point dog. I think, just by

1091
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:33,839
Speaker 1: virtue of the style of play, of the temple of

1092
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:36,839
Speaker 1: play that I would expect here, I think Virginia Tech's

1093
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:40,720
Speaker 1: the better team. But Vandy, by virtue of its new system,

1094
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 1: can get this one inside that number. So let's say

1095
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech wins this one twenty three to fourteen.

1096
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:54,279
Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough. I have Vanderbilt outright. Really yeah, Well,

1097
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:57,440
Speaker 2: Diego Lavia hasn't officially been named the starter. I think

1098
00:52:57,440 --> 00:52:59,319
Speaker 2: he's gonna start. He's gonna be the guy Jerry Kills

1099
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 2: in town. Virginia Tech super slow start last year doesn't

1100
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 2: mean they will this year. Have you looked at the

1101
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 2: weather in Nashville. We haven't had a weather report, but

1102
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 2: I like dipping in when all of a sudden, I

1103
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 2: like a home dog. I always take a peek at

1104
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:14,400
Speaker 2: the weather, like Boise State is a double digit favorite

1105
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:17,840
Speaker 2: on the road at Georgia Southern Statesboro summer is different

1106
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,840
Speaker 2: Tie than Boise summer. Okay, this is ninety four and

1107
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 2: stanky is not necessarily what Poise is. Now there's expected

1108
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:29,359
Speaker 2: rain and the nineties in Nashville this Saturday. Wet and

1109
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:32,880
Speaker 2: stanky not just the name of Tie's first EP. It

1110
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:36,360
Speaker 2: is going to be a situation in Nashville. I have

1111
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:38,320
Speaker 2: Vandy winning this one, maybe with the help of the

1112
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 2: guys they brought in in the secondary. Whatever it is,

1113
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 2: I think it's a disadvantage disadvantaged situation for Virginia Tech.

1114
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:48,279
Speaker 2: So I'm going spicy with the doors here.

1115
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:50,759
Speaker 1: Two other games shows, I'll call it real quick. Neither

1116
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 1: one of them has a point spread, a time of recorded.

1117
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 1: They be not chat nougat Tennessee. I don't care if

1118
00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 1: there's no one in this game. That does not matter.

1119
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:00,239
Speaker 1: I just want to see what Nico looks like an

1120
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:03,960
Speaker 1: extended action. Okay, I said twelve forty five on ESPN Plus.

1121
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 1: And there's also a new game then between Austin P

1122
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 1: and Louisville. It's on the ACC Network. I'm actually quite

1123
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 1: excited about the Louisville defense. Okay, this year, it's not

1124
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:20,799
Speaker 1: like they're playing LSU out there. It's Austin P. They

1125
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:23,719
Speaker 1: should dominate Austin P. But I want to see how

1126
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 1: the defense looks because I think that will be kind

1127
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 1: of the bedrock of this team. I also want to

1128
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:29,560
Speaker 1: see how Tyler Shuck looks well.

1129
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:30,799
Speaker 2: Good call, right.

1130
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:33,760
Speaker 1: It should be a little bit of a different system

1131
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 1: this year with Tyler Shuck than it was last year

1132
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:38,799
Speaker 1: with Jack Plumber. They're just different types of quarterbacks, so

1133
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 1: those games to me are interesting. I'll also call out

1134
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:43,959
Speaker 1: the pit game. Kent stayed at Pitt. Pitt's a heavy

1135
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 1: favorite twenty four and a half. I have no reason

1136
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 1: to take Kent State Kent State.

1137
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:50,560
Speaker 2: I think both quarterbacks will play Tye both quarterbacks.

1138
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,319
Speaker 1: Both quarterbacks will play. I have no reason to bet

1139
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:54,879
Speaker 1: on Kent State here. I'm not going to go there,

1140
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:57,319
Speaker 1: but I just think it's notable again to mention that

1141
00:54:57,640 --> 00:54:59,959
Speaker 1: Pitt went out and hired kde Bell from Western Carol,

1142
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 1: Who's going to do a lot of shotgun and pistol

1143
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:06,840
Speaker 1: and motion type stuff with that offense, high tempo. This

1144
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 1: is unlike anything we have seen Pat Nardoozi try in

1145
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:12,719
Speaker 1: his time at PITT. I think in part it is

1146
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:14,960
Speaker 1: out of desperation they need to fix the offense. So

1147
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:17,920
Speaker 1: do they have the personnel to do it? Can they

1148
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:19,840
Speaker 1: do it successfully throughout the course of the year. My

1149
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 1: hunches they can do it successfully against Kent, but give

1150
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 1: us something of a precursor to what is to come

1151
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:28,239
Speaker 1: from this pit offense this season. I'm mixed there. See

1152
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 1: what it looks like. Let's go to the afternoon block.

1153
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 1: Here's that Boise game, Dan, Yeah, buddy, four pmsp and

1154
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 1: you Boise favored by thirteen at Georgia Southern. You're gonna

1155
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 1: zag on this one too. Yeah, I'm zagging with Georgia Southern.

1156
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 2: I looked it up. Boise is high desert semi arid climate.

1157
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:49,480
Speaker 2: They're not ready for the Southeast, so they win this

1158
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:50,919
Speaker 2: game by a touchdown they don't cover.

1159
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:54,360
Speaker 1: It is a fabulous home slate if you are a

1160
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 1: fan of Georgia Southern and you're in the Statesboro area.

1161
00:55:57,160 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 1: I can't speak for the weather, but yet Boy State,

1162
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:04,000
Speaker 1: you get Marshall, could be an interesting game, you get

1163
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 1: James Madison and Troy in app State. All these games

1164
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 1: are at home. Love if you're a season ticket holder,

1165
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 1: that's great. The defense is going to dictate the ceiling.

1166
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:16,319
Speaker 1: It doesn't appear as if there's like an obvious fix

1167
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:17,759
Speaker 1: for some of the big plays they gave up a

1168
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 1: year ago. But I do think that this game at

1169
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 1: home against Boise State gives them an opportunity to get

1170
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:26,279
Speaker 1: off on the right foot. So I I'm inclined to

1171
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:27,920
Speaker 1: go Georgia Southern plus the points.

1172
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 2: Is this a new Georgia Southern segment that we're doing

1173
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:34,239
Speaker 2: the Eagle Peaks, what we're doing each week, I don't know.

1174
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 1: I'm interesting. I'm interested in that from a narrative standpoint.

1175
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:40,919
Speaker 1: Boise State traveling a long ways to play that game,

1176
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 1: and what Clay Helton's been in some big games before

1177
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:45,360
Speaker 1: why not? Why not?

1178
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:45,879
Speaker 2: Fair enough?

1179
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 1: Next game, Miami Ohio at Northwestern? Are you gonna be there?

1180
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:50,160
Speaker 1: You should go.

1181
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna be there. This is at the Temp Stadium.

1182
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:56,440
Speaker 2: This is with arguably the twenty twenty four talker of

1183
00:56:56,440 --> 00:57:01,120
Speaker 2: the year, Chuck Martin, prominently featured. I love Chuck Martin

1184
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:02,839
Speaker 2: more than I thought I would the more I've heard

1185
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:05,920
Speaker 2: him speak. He accused Alabama of stealing his kicker, probably

1186
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:09,960
Speaker 2: not wrong, went on a rant about iPads. I want

1187
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 2: to say that all but sewed up the I guess

1188
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:15,600
Speaker 2: I'm just old school Trophy of the Year he wins.

1189
00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, Chuck Martin's great continue. Miami Ohio has the quarterback

1190
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:22,480
Speaker 1: and defense combo that you talk about it.

1191
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 2: Do covet that? Yeah?

1192
00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 1: So on one hand, I like Miami Ohio. On the other,

1193
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:34,240
Speaker 1: it's the weird sort of Lake Michigan portable stadium thing

1194
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:35,000
Speaker 1: for Northwestern.

1195
00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:35,840
Speaker 2: True?

1196
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 1: Is there going to be wind on Saturday for this?

1197
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:41,440
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm checking the ten day right now in the

1198
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 2: Chicago Land area. Tie.

1199
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:45,320
Speaker 1: I could go for a good win game in week one.

1200
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:46,360
Speaker 1: Not gonna lie.

1201
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 2: I'm not seeing big winds. I'm seeing about eighty and Sonny,

1202
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 2: So we should have pretty decent warm football weather.

1203
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 1: But this is right on the lake.

1204
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:57,200
Speaker 2: It is, there's always be a little bit more wind. Yeah,

1205
00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 2: you're right.

1206
00:57:57,840 --> 00:57:58,640
Speaker 1: Who do we pick here?

1207
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:00,000
Speaker 2: I'm going Northwestern here.

1208
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:00,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1209
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:03,960
Speaker 2: I think low scoring affair though, Yeah, this is seventeen.

1210
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:06,640
Speaker 2: I'll take the points, Okay.

1211
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:10,240
Speaker 1: I'll grab the plus three. The other two games here

1212
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:11,720
Speaker 1: that are called out and they're a bunch in three

1213
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 1: point thirty in that block. Like Kennesaw is playing its

1214
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:18,720
Speaker 1: first game at the FBS level against UTSA. Ohio State's

1215
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 1: nearly a fifty point favorite against Akron. I don't know

1216
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 1: if any of those games would be super compelling. I'm

1217
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 1: interested to see what South Carolina's offense looks like with

1218
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 1: Lenora Sellers their new starting quarterback. They are a three

1219
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:33,520
Speaker 1: touchdown favorite. I'm just curious to see what that looks

1220
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:35,440
Speaker 1: like and how it's different. I think they have to

1221
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 1: adapt given personnel if they want to try and do

1222
00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 1: anything this season, and this will give us a better

1223
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 1: look at him. I really like what he brings to

1224
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:46,800
Speaker 1: the table. And then Nebraska. Nebraska about a four touchdown

1225
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:49,400
Speaker 1: favorite at home against UTEP. They should win that game handily,

1226
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 1: but more extended action for a guy that I think

1227
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 1: we've come to know this offseason, Dylan Royola. What does

1228
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 1: he look like? Is he as comfortable in actual FBS

1229
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:01,160
Speaker 1: play as he was in the Nebraska spring affair?

1230
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 2: Fair?

1231
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:06,440
Speaker 1: Okay, a bunch of other games here, but those of

1232
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 1: the four that jump out to me. Let's go tonight.

1233
00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 1: Fresno at Michigan seven thirty, NBC. Michigan favored by twenty one.

1234
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 1: How do you feel about this game?

1235
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:24,919
Speaker 2: Would love to know who's playing quarterback for Michigan. Don't

1236
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:27,600
Speaker 2: love that Jeff Tedford stepped away from the program over

1237
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:31,520
Speaker 2: the summer. Mikey Keane still there, ran the ball pretty

1238
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 2: well last year. Interesting receivers. I think Michigan's gonna stomp

1239
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:39,600
Speaker 2: them ultimately. I think they're gonna stomp them just because

1240
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:42,000
Speaker 2: it's at home. They're gonna be able to run the ball.

1241
00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:43,880
Speaker 2: Donovan Edwards is still there, and I think the alley

1242
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:45,640
Speaker 2: oop is going to be quite strong with the defense

1243
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 2: just setting up the offense. Like I think whatever Michigan

1244
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 2: might be lacking this year on offense, I think they're

1245
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 2: gonna have great field position in a number of these

1246
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 2: games because of this defense. So even though last year

1247
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:58,440
Speaker 2: it wasn't a slow start for Michigan, but they limited possessions,

1248
00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:01,280
Speaker 2: they played slowly, so maybe that would be a reason

1249
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 2: that Michigan doesn't cover a game like this. But I

1250
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 2: Mikey Keane was a little bit too careless with the

1251
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:08,080
Speaker 2: ball at times last year. I think he threw double

1252
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 2: digit picks. So I'm gonna go with Michigan here to

1253
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:14,160
Speaker 2: win this one. Thirty five fourteen, Well that'd be twenty

1254
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:15,919
Speaker 2: one on the dot, thirty five ten.

1255
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:19,200
Speaker 1: I think there's a good chance Michigan wins and easily

1256
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:21,920
Speaker 1: covers as well. I also think there's a pretty good

1257
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 1: chance they teach us virtually nothing about themselves, of course,

1258
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:27,160
Speaker 1: right cause the reality is they could go out there,

1259
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:28,680
Speaker 1: they could do the power rushing thing that they did

1260
01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:30,760
Speaker 1: a year ago, and it doesn't matter who plays quarterback.

1261
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 1: Fresno's defense was atrocious last season, won't be the case

1262
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:37,840
Speaker 1: next week. Against Texas, they're gonna have to throw, they're

1263
01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 1: gonna have to have a second pitch. But against Fresno,

1264
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:42,360
Speaker 1: I think you can basically line up and run straight

1265
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:44,320
Speaker 1: at him and you'll still be able to cover the spread,

1266
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:47,920
Speaker 1: especially given their defense, which is going to be again

1267
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:48,960
Speaker 1: very very solid.

1268
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:52,520
Speaker 2: Now the counter to that, Fresno in two of their

1269
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:55,080
Speaker 2: first three weeks of the season last year, went to

1270
01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:58,720
Speaker 2: Purdue and beat them, went to ASU and shut them out.

1271
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:01,200
Speaker 2: So against power five team to start out the year

1272
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:05,560
Speaker 2: last year on Michigan's level, not quite but nonetheless, And

1273
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:08,040
Speaker 2: did they go to overtime against Eastern Washington. That's not

1274
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 2: a story for now. Fresno did go and compete against

1275
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:14,840
Speaker 2: power five team.

1276
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:16,760
Speaker 1: Competing against Michigan.

1277
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 2: Okay, they're not. That's what gave me a little bit

1278
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 2: of pause.

1279
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:26,520
Speaker 1: Seven PMFS one UNLV at Houston. Houston's only a two

1280
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 1: and a half point favorite here. Yeah, this is one

1281
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 1: of those FCS quarterback transfer alerts.

1282
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 2: Please, this is the FCS transfer of the season as

1283
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:37,080
Speaker 2: far as I'm concerned.

1284
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:42,400
Speaker 1: Matthew Sluca, yeah, buddy, Matthew Sluca transferred from Holy Cross,

1285
01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:47,520
Speaker 1: former Crosssader. Yeah, now the starting quarterback at UNLV. How

1286
01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:50,680
Speaker 1: could we not take the points here? I fully agree?

1287
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:53,520
Speaker 1: How could we not take the points? Well, we got

1288
01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:56,080
Speaker 1: a Crossader in this game.

1289
01:01:56,040 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 2: You got sluker Man at quarterback.

1290
01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:02,440
Speaker 1: It goes against everything wet for if we don't go

1291
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 1: Matthew Sluka and then run rebels in this game, so

1292
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:07,439
Speaker 1: unlv outright, what the hell?

1293
01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:10,160
Speaker 2: Matti Slukes, I'm on board.

1294
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:13,280
Speaker 1: Seven forty five. I've got another new quarterback here. I

1295
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 1: don't think this is a particularly interesting game, but it's

1296
01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:19,000
Speaker 1: Southern Miss at Kentucky. Kentucky favored by four touchdowns. Not

1297
01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 1: only are we what do we have a name for?

1298
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:24,440
Speaker 1: What we are for? Matthew Sluca Sluca maniacs. I just

1299
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:24,880
Speaker 1: made that up.

1300
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 2: I have Slucerman I haven't. I haven't settled on anything yet.

1301
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:29,360
Speaker 2: We got to see what he does against Houston.

1302
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:32,800
Speaker 1: We are also card carrying Vanda grifters.

1303
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:34,280
Speaker 2: That's true.

1304
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:36,280
Speaker 1: See what he looks like against Southern Miss. Should have

1305
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:38,760
Speaker 1: a good opportunity to kind of get his feet wet.

1306
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:41,280
Speaker 1: And then there's UCLA versus Hawaii.

1307
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:44,880
Speaker 2: I like UCLA here. Yeah, yeah, I know you like Hawaii,

1308
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:48,040
Speaker 2: but you couldn't really articulate it well enough to convince me.

1309
01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:51,760
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I think UCLA is gonna run well. I

1310
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:55,080
Speaker 2: think they're just I think they have more good dudes. Now,

1311
01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:58,440
Speaker 2: it's a road game, it's far away, it's weird, but no,

1312
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:00,720
Speaker 2: I think UCLA ultimately pulls away with this one. With

1313
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:04,280
Speaker 2: with Eric Banamy TJ Harden and a new look bruin situation.

1314
01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:08,840
Speaker 1: I actually kind of like Hawaii plus the points here, okay.

1315
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:10,800
Speaker 1: I like the fact that they've got a game under

1316
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 1: their belt. By the way, this one's on the island,

1317
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:17,240
Speaker 1: seven thirty Eastern time, New Big ten team, New Big

1318
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 1: ten team. I'm gonna go Hawaii plus the points, but

1319
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:21,480
Speaker 1: you see lay.

1320
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:22,760
Speaker 2: To win, yep. Okay.

1321
01:03:23,720 --> 01:03:26,480
Speaker 1: I want to see what Troy's offense, Troy's team as

1322
01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:29,200
Speaker 1: a whole looks like under Jared Parker. I want to

1323
01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:31,520
Speaker 1: see what the James Madison Charlotte game looks like. Did

1324
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:32,920
Speaker 1: you see this thing about Charlotte.

1325
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:37,000
Speaker 2: I cannot listen to Biff Pogey when he is wearing

1326
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:40,320
Speaker 2: the sleeveless situation and all I just am locked in

1327
01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:42,160
Speaker 2: and I don't hear what he says, something about there's

1328
01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:43,040
Speaker 2: a bunch of injured dudes.

1329
01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:45,640
Speaker 1: He is living in a post sleeve universe, for sure.

1330
01:03:46,840 --> 01:03:49,920
Speaker 1: He took the blame at the podium for working his

1331
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:54,680
Speaker 1: players too hard in fall camp, and as such they're

1332
01:03:54,720 --> 01:03:58,120
Speaker 1: down fifty percent of their starters. He doesn't think they're

1333
01:03:58,120 --> 01:03:59,880
Speaker 1: all going to be healthy until week four.

1334
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:01,959
Speaker 2: Hmmm, not great.

1335
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:04,840
Speaker 1: His logic was basically like, yeah, we knew we had

1336
01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:07,920
Speaker 1: James Madison week one, we went a little bit overboard

1337
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 1: with our preparation and now half the team is hurt. Great,

1338
01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:14,160
Speaker 1: good job, still James Madison only an eight and a

1339
01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:15,000
Speaker 1: half point favorite.

1340
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:18,560
Speaker 2: But who's where's their new coach from their new coaches

1341
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:21,720
Speaker 2: holy Cross? Yeah, so if if you're gonna go the

1342
01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:24,240
Speaker 2: holy Cross experience the bright lights of the pat League

1343
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:26,640
Speaker 2: when taking UNLV over Houston, kind of have to do

1344
01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:28,000
Speaker 2: the same thing right here, right.

1345
01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:30,200
Speaker 1: Do it, Let's do it, Let's go. Let's go JMU

1346
01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:31,480
Speaker 1: minus eight and a half on the road. Let's do

1347
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:35,000
Speaker 1: it against Charlotte. The only other thing that I mentioned

1348
01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 1: here and again there are a bunch of games at night.

1349
01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:39,720
Speaker 1: The other one that I'm going to just be paying

1350
01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 1: attention to. Alabama a heavy favorite at home against Western Kentucky.

1351
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:46,240
Speaker 1: What do they look like? Does it look any different?

1352
01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:49,640
Speaker 1: They're gonna be Western Kentucky. But how do they use

1353
01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:52,920
Speaker 1: Jalen Milroe? Do we have any tells in that early

1354
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:54,840
Speaker 1: game about what that offense is going to look like,

1355
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:56,440
Speaker 1: how they're going to tailor it to his skill set?

1356
01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:58,000
Speaker 2: Yeah? What the defense is going to look like?

1357
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:01,080
Speaker 1: Every defense gonna look like any other games here that

1358
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 1: you want to call out pay homage to as we

1359
01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:07,040
Speaker 1: round things out here in week one?

1360
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:12,160
Speaker 2: How about ASU Wyoming late right Year two Sam Levitt.

1361
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:15,400
Speaker 1: Ten thirty Eastern Time on FS one Late Kick.

1362
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:17,640
Speaker 2: I'm excited to see what Dylan Gabriel looks like in

1363
01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:21,080
Speaker 2: an Oregon uniform, even though it's just Idaho San Diego

1364
01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:23,560
Speaker 2: State starting a true freshman at quarterback for the first time.

1365
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:26,680
Speaker 2: Will Rodgers at Washington New Big Ten team against Weaver State.

1366
01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:30,080
Speaker 2: We got t Mac and Fefida going against a very

1367
01:05:30,080 --> 01:05:32,000
Speaker 2: bad New Mexico team, but I'm happy to have them

1368
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:35,680
Speaker 2: back in my life. I'm happy about all these things.

1369
01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:40,720
Speaker 1: That does it for our Week one preview again, hit

1370
01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:45,120
Speaker 1: us up on YouTube. Yeah, he dined Eastern right after

1371
01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:48,600
Speaker 1: I am most of the late night game. Certainly the

1372
01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:50,520
Speaker 1: Texas A and m Notre Dame game is going to

1373
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:52,480
Speaker 1: be over by then. If it's not, I'll probably be

1374
01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:55,480
Speaker 1: dead because it's gone to like fifteen overtimes and I

1375
01:05:55,520 --> 01:05:58,200
Speaker 1: won't be able to withstand that. But you can make

1376
01:05:58,240 --> 01:05:59,880
Speaker 1: sure you give us a call as you're watching the

1377
