A 26 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 2: lot of intrigue with Big ten quarterbacks. It's fascinating from 27 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 2: top to bottom. So we'll talk. We'll rate our top five, 28 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 2: talk about who we think our alphas, and maybe give 29 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 2: out just a couple of looks for some win totals 30 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,399 Speaker 2: in the Big ten. But what's going on, Elex? Not much? Man? 31 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 3: How was the Lexington Legends game? Big Triple A guy? 32 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 2: Oh, it's amazing. No, they're not even Triple A. They're 33 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 2: like independent. I think they used to be Triple A 34 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 2: Double A. I don't know, but they're like an. 35 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 3: Independent league now so there are nobody markets available. 36 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, they The game took forever for those don't know 37 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 2: how to My wife got me on a surprise birthday 38 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 2: party at the Legends game by some people that were 39 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 2: some friends in town. So it was a good time. 40 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 2: But the game took forever. I mean it was like, 41 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 2: I don't even know the final score, but it's like 42 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 2: seventeen ten. It was like a four hour game. So yeah, 43 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 2: it was fun. And then we hit the bar after 44 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 2: a bar where my wife's bar Stoops was recently spotted. 45 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 3: Need thoughts on the bar Man well repricing anything with I. 46 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 2: Might I might bump them a half. Uh from bias, 47 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 2: it's a half a half win bias for going to 48 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 2: stagger In. But uh no, Hoops Stoops enjoys his free time. 49 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 2: The vibes are definitely really low in regards to Kentucky football. 50 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,519 Speaker 2: I mean a lot of people are saying this is 51 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 2: stoops last year, but I don't even know how that's 52 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 2: all going to work. Like the buyout is crazy. I know, 53 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 2: the buyout last year I think would have been like 54 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 2: in total, I think forty million. Don't quote me on that, 55 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 2: but it was something crazy. And then who you're going 56 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 2: to bring in? The guy everyone wants to bring in 57 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 2: is sum Raw. You know, he went to Kentucky hot name, 58 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 2: and I'm sure he has his site set. I know 59 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 2: it's his own moder but he has a sight set 60 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 2: on eventually a big time SEC gig. What do he 61 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 2: take it? I mean, money always talks, but like my 62 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 2: thing is that you're just not gonna win. I don't 63 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 2: think you can win a national championship in football in Kentucky. 64 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 2: And so to put all that money into it. It's 65 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 2: I'm just like, just let them be put it into basketball. 66 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 2: But I don't know if someone would come and then 67 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 2: risk his stock, right, like his stock going down if 68 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 2: there's a couple more rough years in Kentucky. So part 69 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 2: of me wants to just you always buy stoops when 70 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 2: you're when everyone else wants to sell them. Just Kentucky 71 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 2: football in general, right, and so part of me wants 72 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 2: to buy in on Kentucky. I still have to do 73 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 2: some work on them. But the vibes in Lexington are 74 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 2: very low. 75 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 3: Vibes though, is more important thing. What's the what's the 76 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 3: appetizer list? Looking like we got any reverse happy hours going? 77 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 2: For what? I'm sorry we got. 78 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 3: Any reverse happy hours going? Any good appetizers at this bar? 79 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 2: No, there's no food, no food bar. It's a pure, 80 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 2: pure drinking bar. So we have good specials and uh, 81 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 2: I will tell you. Kentucky not sure number. Early numbers 82 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 2: said potentially an over but if they lose the week 83 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 2: one to Toledo, then it's which which isn't that? It's 84 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 2: not crazy to think. I mean Toledo went down to 85 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 2: Scarkville last year and beat Mississippi State by I don't 86 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 2: know thirty. 87 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 3: Toledo also, I remember they beat Arkansas. I mean it 88 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 3: was a long time ago, but still like those just 89 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 3: screams tricky spot. 90 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, and to Toledo has talent, it'll and then it's 91 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 2: just like the vibes are going to be shot. So 92 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 2: we'll see if Kentucky I think there, what are they 93 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 2: a ten eleven point favor in that game, So definitely 94 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 2: not out of the realm of possibilities that they lose 95 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 2: that game. But let's let's talk a little Big ten quarterbacks. 96 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 2: So like if if you look at the Big ten 97 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 2: right now, if you can figure out the quarterback, So 98 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 2: if you were able to crack the code of the quarterbacks, 99 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 2: you're going to figure out the Big Ten, and then 100 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 2: you're gonna figure out a big part of the playoff 101 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 2: at national title picture. Because there's a lot of brand new, 102 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 2: there's a lot of unproven. I think we might week one, 103 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 2: we might have only five out of the eighteen Big 104 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 2: Ten teams they're starting a quarterback that started for them 105 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 2: last year. So I'll ask you first and then I'll 106 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 2: give you my answer. If you if you had to 107 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 2: rate the top five now, it's a tricky question. So 108 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 2: it's you could frame it however you want, because there's 109 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 2: probably a different answer for there's three different answers. Probably 110 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 2: there's one that's like right now going into the season. 111 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 2: Then there's going to be another list of towards the 112 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 2: end of the season going into the college football playoff. Right, 113 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 2: Like a guy likes saying he might be number one 114 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 2: for Ohio State by the end of the year, And 115 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 2: that's all high is that you worry about the probably 116 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 2: gonna make the playoff. Maybe he struggles a bit early, 117 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 2: but you just want to make sure that he's the 118 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 2: guy and he's ready for the college quot playoffs. That's 119 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 2: basically all I would be worried about if I was 120 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 2: an Ohio Statement and obviously finally beating Michigan again. And 121 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 2: then there's also just the situations, Like there's some guys 122 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 2: are in much better situations than others. You know, coordinators 123 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 2: talent around them, so you have to take that into 124 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 2: account as well. But I think you have to start 125 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 2: at with Aler at one. But it's not like I'm 126 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 2: fully sold on Aler being the guy. Based on his 127 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 2: performances in big games, especially when under pressure both mentally 128 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 2: and physically. I feel like That's what most people would 129 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 2: say with one. But I'm curious where would you go 130 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 2: for your top five. 131 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: There's also a lot a ton of guys with like upside, 132 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: a ton of guys that just didn't leave live up 133 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: to expectations that were you know, former five stars at 134 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: different spots you could I mean even Nico going to UCLA. 135 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 2: You have a guy like Preston Stone, obviously not the 136 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 2: best situation in Northwestern, but the guy who had a 137 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 2: ton of talent before. And then you have the the 138 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 2: young kids, the Underwoods who you know, Underwood's not in 139 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 2: the best situation at Michigan as far as just talent 140 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 2: compared to Ohio State, but just a lot of uncertainty 141 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 2: across the board. How would you think about your top 142 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 2: five in the Big ten? 143 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 3: You didn't even name my guy planting the flag from 144 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 3: Fernando Mendoza, he's. 145 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 2: In my top five? Ye all right? 146 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we could look at this from a 147 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 3: variety of different ways. I think Indiana is a big 148 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 3: buy for me, but yeah, I would go for we 149 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 3: had to take a combination of like what they're worth 150 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 3: season ending results, I'd go aler Mendoza, and then I'd 151 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 3: probably go saying I think Dante more even though losing 152 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 3: Evan Stewart, I think I think Landing could scheme up 153 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 3: a good season for Dante more and then at five 154 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,079 Speaker 3: you can go. I could go a bunch of different 155 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 3: directions with Demand Williams, Breeze's guy Granowski, like has A 156 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 3: has a pretty high ceiling too with his dual threat Abildy. 157 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 2: It didn't even mention him like that, But the question 158 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 2: there is how does he translate to well stepping up 159 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 2: another level. He's played at Iowa before. It was a 160 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 2: disastrous game, but obviously there wasn't a great situation. I 161 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 2: like it, but I should say it's better than what 162 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 2: I was had going into season and forever. 163 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean I would say to Rala two 164 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 3: if it's like Hugo running the show and less of 165 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 3: Matt rule. In my opinion, he's another Uh you know 166 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 3: who I wouldn't is. I'm lower on Altmeyer. Nico two 167 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 3: wouldn't make my top five. But again, like Demand, Williams 168 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 3: is intriguing as tough, but no I like I like 169 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 3: Forana mendoz A lot. I could talk a lot about him. 170 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 3: I think he's he's in a really good spot this year. 171 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 3: I'm excited to talk about Indiana. 172 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 2: I agree. I know that you're gonna try to sell 173 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 2: some Indiana upside. I think I would go all encompassing, 174 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 2: so like trying to take into account going to the season, 175 00:09:54,400 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 2: end of the season situations. I'd probably go al Are 176 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 2: saying Mendoza Raila. Although I'm still not fully sold on Rolan. 177 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 2: It's not like his situation is I know. I mean, 178 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,719 Speaker 2: what did the last eight games of last year? He 179 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 2: had four touchdowns, nine interceptions or something like that, and 180 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 2: they have some questions on their roster although rule year 181 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 2: three rule. 182 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 3: I'm just waiting for him to pop. 183 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 2: YEP. The potentials there, potentials there with a lot of 184 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 2: these guys, and then I might go, yeah, I was 185 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 2: thinking about Williams at five, but I might put Altmeyer 186 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 2: in there just at five. But the ceiling, like we 187 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 2: pretty much know, I think where Almyer doesn't have the 188 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 2: upside anyway. I think what last year was like as 189 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 2: good as it's going to get. I'm actually so I'm 190 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 2: curious your thoughts on Illinois because this is probably going 191 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 2: to be an unpopular opinion in a hot take, which 192 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 2: is good news for Illinois. Fans because I was dead 193 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 2: wrong in Illinois last year. But they're like a popular sleeper. 194 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 2: They're a popular Hey this is there. This year's Indiana, 195 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 2: And there's for sure a lot to like about Illinois. 196 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 2: I mean, number one, just the experience back there. It's 197 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,599 Speaker 2: not a lot of teams that have number one just 198 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 2: their quarterback coming back, but most of their team. I mean, 199 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 2: they're the most experienced team in the Big Ten by 200 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 2: a pretty wide margin. And then their schedule they have 201 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 2: void Penn State, Michigan, Oregon, you host Ohio State, you 202 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 2: only have they have one team coming off of buy 203 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 2: on their whole schedule and it's per Due. And then 204 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 2: your five Big Ten home games. With that said, I'm 205 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 2: not there. Like I said, I don't think al Meyer 206 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 2: has the ceiling. I think they're really gonna miss Bryant 207 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 2: and Franklin. I mean, we'll see Clement and Bowick. I 208 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 2: think that bog is a ton of potential. I was 209 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 2: so intrigued to see where he went after he just 210 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 2: completely popped off for ball State, for like at the 211 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 2: end of the season when he came in. But this 212 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 2: is still a team. I mean, they haven't won eight 213 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,319 Speaker 2: plus games in back to back years since nineteen ninety 214 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 2: and I know that baselines for teams. This is one 215 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,559 Speaker 2: of the most difficult things in today's college football landscape 216 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,959 Speaker 2: is that in the past, I would always have you 217 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 2: would always have ranges for specific teams like a program 218 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 2: and coach, their floor and their ceiling, like a realistic 219 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,319 Speaker 2: floor and ceiling. A lot of that's thrown out the 220 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 2: window now, I mean, because you're just teams are basically 221 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 2: starting over every single year and there's just so much 222 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 2: more variance. It's one of the things I struggle with. 223 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 2: It's like, oh, I might have to downgrade this team 224 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 2: twenty points, but I'm not used to doing that, and 225 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 2: like a Florida State, like how bad can they really be? 226 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 2: But teams can drastically change from one season to another, 227 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 2: like Perdue. Where do I power rate Perdue? Speaking of 228 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 2: the Big Ten this year, which is just a brand 229 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 2: new team essentially with a brand new staff, so there's 230 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 2: just a wide range of outcomes with them. But Illinois 231 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 2: I think is overrated coming into the year. I get 232 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 2: that they won ten games last year, nine versus FBS teams. 233 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 2: Five of the nine five of their nine wins versus 234 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 2: FBS teams they trailed in the fourth quarter, including the 235 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 2: bowl game and the teams that they beat last year 236 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 2: in the regular season, they went nine to three. Those 237 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 2: teams went forty two and sixty six combined, and again 238 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 2: they trailed in half over half of their FBS wins 239 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 2: on the season. They easily could have been five and seven, 240 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 2: six and six. I mean the Perdue game, they trailed 241 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 2: with forty three seconds left. They won an overtime for 242 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 2: Due doesn't get a two. The Rutgers game, the Hail Mary. 243 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 2: The Hail Mary against Rutgers with fourteen seconds left. I 244 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,559 Speaker 2: still don't know how that happened. You know, they beat 245 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 2: Nebraska in overtime. They trailed on the fourth Kansas, they 246 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 2: were outplayed in that game. They trailed on the fourth 247 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 2: of that game, like easily could have been much worse. 248 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 2: So I got to give Beelom a credit for what 249 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 2: he's done. Well. The receivers are going to go a 250 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 2: long way because I just think Brian Franklin did so 251 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 2: much for them last year, and I'm just not sold 252 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 2: on this stealing of this Illinois team that others are. 253 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 2: I get the experience, I get the schedule, there's a 254 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 2: lot of things working in their favor. But I'm as 255 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,079 Speaker 2: of right now, initially a seller of Illinois. 256 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 3: Yeah. So it's funny because I came in ready to 257 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 3: ramble about Indiana and stack them up to you know, 258 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 3: the cream of the crop. But I mean even stacking 259 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 3: them up to Illinois gives me a lot of thoughts, 260 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 3: like if we were to, well, that game's huge week 261 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 3: four Illinois, and well that's the first real big game 262 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 3: for Indiana because they should start three to zho. They 263 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 3: play scrappy od U team, but then they you know, 264 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 3: get Kennesau State in Indiana State. So me thinks that 265 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 3: you know, you ease in Fernando. You don't have to 266 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 3: throw a lot of fastballs. You still have some guys 267 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 3: working back from injury like Omar Cooper I think was 268 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 3: banged up. E J. Williams is still slowly slowly coming back, 269 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 3: so you get kind of that that rest and you 270 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 3: know it's a Signetti team. So I mean stuck, like 271 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 3: if you were to because Indiana and Illinois, I'm looking 272 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 3: at it right now like very similarly similarly priced. But 273 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 3: I think with Indiana and I like, I like Bielama, 274 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 3: I think you're getting a better coach. You're getting a 275 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 3: higher ceiling for quarterback. You're getting a similar cultures. But 276 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 3: you know with Indiana that you're not gonna get a 277 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 3: an environment that's going to quit on its coach at 278 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 3: any point of the season. The roster is good. I 279 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 3: think I think Indiana is a five team just from 280 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 3: a roster construction point. You got both of the Mendoza 281 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 3: brothers in the quarterback room. They live together, Elijah Sarratt, 282 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 3: they're Alpha wide receiver from the JAMU in fusion. They 283 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 3: brought over Makai Jackson from Appalachian State, who they they 284 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 3: both played. Elijah Sarratt and Makai Jackson both at Saint Francis, PA, 285 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 3: so they were teammates before Omar Cooper comes back to 286 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 3: I mean, just like Super Viby team, you get Pat 287 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 3: Coogan from Notre Dame as their new center. He played 288 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 3: in the National Championship last year. Merist legend Pat Coogan 289 00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 3: from the e SCC. So yeah, and then defensively again 290 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 3: to JMU Infusion captains and leaders on basically all three levels. 291 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure Mikhal Kamara they go. 292 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 2: I like how Signetti approaches the portal. I started doing 293 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 2: this a little more like he used to value guys 294 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 2: that they had, they had really highly rated coming out 295 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 2: of high school, and then that never lived up the expectations. 296 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 2: This year, a couple more guys that are proven. That's 297 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 2: kind of Signetti's model. Give me the production past actual 298 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 2: college production, even if it's at a group of five 299 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 2: over potential and you know previous ratings. So I personally 300 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 2: on paper like a lot of the portal editions. 301 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 3: And here's another thing to think about too, stuck Mendoza 302 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 3: getting in a Signetti offense. Was listening to Chasing the 303 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 3: Natty that Jared Palmgern runs big, big about Debbie guys 304 00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 3: and awesome to get a feel for some of these 305 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 3: younger play we're talking about, like some of the best 306 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 3: offensive play colors head coaches for quarterbacks like the quarterback 307 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 3: Whispers Lincoln Riley Sark obviously mentioned, but I'm surprised they 308 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 3: didn't mention Signetty just based off of his track record 309 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 3: and what he's done with I would say what he's 310 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 3: done with so little, but I mean toddson TiO. In 311 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 3: twenty twenty one Sunbelt Player of the Year Offensive Player 312 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 3: of the Year, Jordan McLeod the next year they won 313 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 3: eleven games, and then last year Rourke wasn't a Conference 314 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 3: Player of the Year, but except the Indiana record for 315 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,479 Speaker 3: passing touchdowns. And like Mendoza, Man, I don't know if 316 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 3: you're going to get a better price on like a 317 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 3: head coach quarterback duo, because I don't think they're either 318 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 3: of those guys are at the top of their market 319 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,199 Speaker 3: right now, Like without even taking any any opinions into account, 320 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 3: Like what are your thoughts on Fernana Mendoza. 321 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 2: I like them a lot. Ye seen and he's upgrading coaching, 322 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,120 Speaker 2: just his overall situation and every time I've watched him, 323 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 2: I really like him. I mean he has I think 324 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 2: he has pro potential for sure. 325 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 3: He's got a lot of untapped potential, man. I mean 326 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 3: he ran a little bit last year, Like there were 327 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,239 Speaker 3: some times where in a cal offense. Man, he's had 328 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,959 Speaker 3: some funny things about cal I gotta touchback on. But 329 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 3: you know in a cal offense where last year you're 330 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 3: not playing in a lot of positive game scripts, Yeah, 331 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 3: you're not playing with the coaching staff that's great at developing. 332 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 3: Like he literally said he went to he chose Indiana 333 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 3: because they're a developing program, and he's still he looked 334 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,919 Speaker 3: comfortable running the zone read. He had a couple rushing touchdowns, 335 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 3: and mcshagh on his podcast when they were diving into 336 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 3: the quarterback class camped him to Jared Goff, which Goff 337 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 3: had a sunny Dyke's offense, so he was always kind 338 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 3: of like you know back there, just kind of precision 339 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 3: passing and surgical. But Mendoza to me kind of gives 340 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 3: like Daniel Jones vibes back when he was with Cutcliffe 341 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,640 Speaker 3: at Duke, like might not look intimidating, but like comfortable 342 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 3: in the pocket, like can run an offense a leader mature. 343 00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 3: And then again, I think he's gonna tap into his 344 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 3: rushing and with a Signetti Mike Shanahan offense, you'd think 345 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 3: that this is just gonna, you know, downhill, downhill play 346 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 3: action quarterback read a very nuanced yet like perfect fit 347 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 3: for Mendoza. You talk about Fitslake. 348 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 2: By the way, you like you like a flyer on 349 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 2: to win the Big Ten. 350 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,479 Speaker 3: It was forty eight to one at FanDuel checking our 351 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 3: consensus odds page was at thirty five to one, and 352 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 3: I said, I'm gonna take take a bite of thirty 353 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 3: five to one, and then I had just checked FanDuel 354 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 3: and they were actually at forty eight to one. I 355 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 3: was like, absolutely, and then at one nine, I mean, 356 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,359 Speaker 3: bang Frier book type stuff. I'm completely fine knowing that 357 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 3: my money is in the hands of Signetti high floor team. 358 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 2: If you take a stance on Illinois is overrated, we 359 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 2: think Indiana is a tad underrated, right, and they win 360 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 2: that game. The rest of the schedule is all matted. 361 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 2: You just have three tough road games at Iowa, at 362 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 2: Penn State, at Oregon. But they find a way to 363 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 2: go eleven and one. Again, there's a good chance they're 364 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 2: in the Big Ten Championship. I can't get they're on 365 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,199 Speaker 2: national title. I just don't think they have the upside. 366 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,880 Speaker 2: But they were such an interesting study last year. There's 367 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 2: some things like you could point to if I'm going 368 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 2: to be fair, because I picked a part Illinois schedule. Indiana, 369 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 2: they were plus fifteen turnover margin. The teams that they 370 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 2: beat last year were fifty one and eighty one. They 371 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 2: beat one team with a winning record, which was Michigan, 372 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 2: and they couldn't move the ball in the second half. 373 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 2: I mean it looked like they couldn't even gain a yard. 374 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,679 Speaker 2: That was it. In fairness. On the flip side, they 375 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 2: did just brush everyone that they played and beat, which 376 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 2: is worth something. But they only played two teams with 377 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 2: a winning record in the regular season, expected to play 378 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 2: four this year. We'll see how that works out, but 379 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 2: I think they're still too far away from the very top. 380 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 2: But in the Big Ten, we started off this entire 381 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 2: conversation with the extreme variance and uncertainty with the quarterbacks 382 00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 2: across the entire conference, from top to bottom, which then 383 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 2: just creates wide range of outcomes for so many of 384 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 2: these teams. Right, like if Fante Moore is terrible, or 385 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,880 Speaker 2: like if you're Michigan and Bryce Underwood is like ends 386 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 2: up being a god, then Michigan is going to be 387 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 2: in the conversation, right, even if there's a line and 388 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 2: receiver questions. But you could go all the way down 389 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,919 Speaker 2: the list with all these teams and not just to 390 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 2: get to the Big Ten title, but they could end 391 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,679 Speaker 2: up all these teams could just crush their win totals 392 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 2: or go way under, and then that's going to impact 393 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 2: everyone's schedules. Right, So we can look at the schedules 394 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 2: now and say, like, all right, these teams. I project 395 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 2: where this team is going to be, but there's so 396 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 2: much quarterback uncertainty that taking a flyer in the Big ten, 397 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 2: I don't hate the approach. 398 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, so because I like them at over eight and 399 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 3: a half on their win total at plus money, I 400 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 3: think it just opens up the doors to bet them 401 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 3: in other futures markets. And because of the high floor, 402 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 3: high ceiling, and I'll say it again, the environment, Like 403 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 3: if I had to rank, like, I'm not gonna sit 404 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 3: here and like start naming teams that I think would 405 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 3: quit on their coaches. But if I was to rank 406 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 3: like one through down the list of teams that I 407 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 3: wouldn't be worried about, it would be like service academies 408 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 3: and Indiana's up there, like nobody's bigger than the program there. 409 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 3: You could read some of the quotes I'm gonna read you. Actually, 410 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 3: y'all stuck. I'm not one of the guys to like 411 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 3: read read a quote and like glean insights from it 412 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 3: and like start making positions. But I'm gonna read you 413 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 3: a quote from E. J. Williams, their wide receiver, former 414 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 3: Clemson guy. I didn't really pan out. I'm not even 415 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 3: looking for stuff to confirm any of my prior stuff. 416 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 3: But like hearing this stuff kind of feels good to 417 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 3: root for a program that's approaching stuff this, he says. 418 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 3: I've been on a part of a lot of good teams. 419 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 3: I don't want to sound cocky, but you know, by 420 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 3: the way teams practice and work in the weight room, 421 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 3: you know what it looks like, you know, by the 422 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 3: execution of plays, the aggressive aggressiveness, how fast everybody's flying 423 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 3: around the ball. I saw it when I was at 424 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 3: Clemson my freshman year, being part of that environment. These 425 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 3: guys that Signetty brought in turned Indian part blah blah. 426 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,439 Speaker 3: So you know, being around that and seeing that was 427 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 3: back when Clemson had you know, Tea and was that 428 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,159 Speaker 3: Trevor's last year. I mean that, you know. I mean again, 429 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 3: nothing huge, It's not it's not something, but it's not 430 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 3: not nothing. So I don't have to worry about like that. 431 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 3: That week four, five, six, and seven, it's hosting Illinois 432 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 3: at Iowa bye week, and that at Oregon. It's like, 433 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 3: you know, if they lose two games there, which I don't, 434 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,160 Speaker 3: I would actually make fair, Like I think they take 435 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 3: like one point three losses. I bet if you ask 436 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 3: somebody else how many losses do they take zero point 437 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 3: zero to three point zero. I bet most would say 438 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 3: above one point five. I'd probably put it lower. But 439 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,360 Speaker 3: if they lose two of those games, I mean, I'm 440 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 3: not worried about a Signetti team, like I think that's 441 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 3: kind of that could be a turning point moment for them. 442 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 3: And then you just got Penn State, and if they 443 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 3: take care of everything else, then you're at nine wins. 444 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 3: And my approach was kind of just basically, all right, 445 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 3: you get you clear eight and a half wins at 446 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 3: plus one twenty and then take the other take the 447 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 3: juice off and put it on the national title and 448 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 3: big ten odds, and then I'm actually, I'm okay knowing 449 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 3: that I have a great coach, potential first round quarterback 450 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 3: that maybe nobody really sees right now, an experienced center. 451 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 3: Team's not big, like that's really big come out of 452 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 3: the locker room. But you know, again, I don't mind 453 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 3: sprinkling a couple bucks on Indiana. They're my first real 454 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 3: like plant flag this season, so it feels good. 455 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 2: Yep, yeah, I will say the quit the quit factor 456 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 2: a lot of times. It's very in the past that's 457 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,920 Speaker 2: always been very narratively, but I think in today's college 458 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 2: football landscape there's we're going to see more of it 459 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 2: just because naturally, right if you if your team doesn't 460 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,400 Speaker 2: live up to expectations. But a lot of times like football, 461 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 2: like it's locker room. We both of us played, It's 462 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,640 Speaker 2: about camarader even if you're in a losing streak, it's 463 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 2: like we're we're still going. We still want to win. 464 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 2: But in today's day and age, if you don't, you're 465 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 2: not living up to expectations. It's week ten. What are 466 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 2: what are a lot of these kids going to do? 467 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,679 Speaker 2: You're starting to look at where could you maybe go next? 468 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 2: What are your other opportunity for to get paid? And 469 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 2: like so it's just so much easier to get distracted. 470 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,640 Speaker 2: So it's something to keep in mind. But uh, by 471 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 2: the way, is Penn State another quass is Penn State 472 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 2: now tight end you in the NFL? They've had like 473 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 2: did they just with Warren being drafted? 474 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 3: Warren? 475 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 2: It used to be Miami, But now you're in this 476 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 2: year coming up in the NFL, you're gonna have five 477 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,439 Speaker 2: Penn State tight ends who start in the NFL that 478 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 2: were drafted all in the last seven years. Iowa Warren, Strange, Johnson, Gazicki, Firemouth, 479 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 2: Iowa was four. They were like, so I went from 480 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,880 Speaker 2: Miami to Iowa. Was the new tight end you because 481 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 2: you got Kittle, Hockinson, Fantaporta. But now Penn State as five. 482 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 2: I don't know. They're just consistently sending guys every year 483 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 2: to the draft that ended up being starters. I think 484 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 2: I was the four. Iowa are still more talented, but 485 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 2: they're also maybe getting a little older compared to Penn State, 486 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,679 Speaker 2: especially with Warren's entrance. So I don't know, just the 487 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 2: thought of Penn State's been killing it with tight ends. 488 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,159 Speaker 2: We'll see if someone can step up this year. I 489 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 2: think Penn State's receivers got better. I like some of 490 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 2: their portal auditions, but obviously you trust Quotin Nickey. But 491 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 2: replacing Warren is not going to be easy. He was 492 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 2: like worth like two receivers in that offense. So we'll 493 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 2: see who can step up. Obviously got some talent there, 494 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 2: but that's not going to be an easy task. But 495 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 2: all right, Well, we'll have so much more on the 496 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 2: Big Ten when we do our Big Ten preview. But 497 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 2: it's just thought it was a very interesting exercise because 498 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 2: the quarterback and you see this in a lot of conferences. 499 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,880 Speaker 2: It's just the nature of the beast now in college football, 500 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 2: with the quarterbacks in the Big Ten, especially with a 501 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:49,119 Speaker 2: couple of teams that are expected to compete for a 502 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 2: national title get into the College Wable Playoff. There's a 503 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 2: ton of questions. 504 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 3: How about this that we didn't even mention Jade and Mayeva. Yeah, 505 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 3: like you know, it's. 506 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 2: Just and for whatever you want to say about Lincoln Riley, 507 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 2: generally you can trust him with quarterbacks in the past, 508 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 2: and he's got two receivers who I love that he 509 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 2: can rely on. Yeah, he was up and down and 510 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 2: when he when he was inserted into the starting lineup 511 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 2: last year. Maybe I mean, like just look at the 512 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 2: Texas A and M game. It was a disaster for 513 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 2: most of it. Luckily that was a thrilling betting win. 514 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 2: He put it together at the end. So we'll see 515 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 2: what Marett Riley can do with a full off season. 516 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 2: They have some offensive line questions, but there's some potential there. 517 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 2: But yeah, there's a lot of guys like that, like 518 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 2: what does Nico do with a fresh start? I'm not 519 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 2: really sold on that. If he couldn't couldn't he couldn't 520 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 2: do well in Tennessee. It's it's gonna be tough. But 521 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 2: we'll see. Still still has a ton of talent, even 522 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 2: if you know, there's so many fascinating storylines, and you 523 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 2: can go to like the Maryland who are they going 524 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,639 Speaker 2: to start a true freshman? I mean, Loxley's done that 525 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 2: in the past, but you could go Preston Stone there 526 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,679 Speaker 2: was a high guy. Now he's going to Northwestern? Are 527 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 2: they going to get much better quarterback play? Obviously not 528 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 2: a great situation to be in. You got Chiles, Can 529 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 2: he put can he put it all together? With Jonathan Smith? Again, 530 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 2: not the best situation, but just a lot of fascinating 531 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,639 Speaker 2: questions across the Big ten. But you got speaking of quarterbacks, 532 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 2: you got an F F Mary kill for me quarterbacks 533 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:20,640 Speaker 2: this year? 534 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,120 Speaker 3: I do Yeah, we went we went Big twelve edition. 535 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:28,119 Speaker 3: Last last time we run out with Dan Pierre Sawyer 536 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 3: Robertson and then you killed my son, Sam Lovitt. We're 537 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 3: gonna do We'll do the chalk this time. We'll go 538 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 3: kde Club, Nick Drew Aller, Garrett Nussmeyer. 539 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 2: All right, I am I'm going to f uh Nus. 540 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 2: So if I need to one quarterback for one game 541 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 2: one night, Stan, I'm going with Nuss. I'm marrying Aler 542 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 2: because I'm getting total Nikki. It's kind of like a 543 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 2: package deal, like when you marry something, it comes with 544 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 2: other other benefits. So one of them is having cotal 545 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 2: Nikki and and his experience if Kid can continue what 546 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 2: he did at the very end of last year. But 547 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 2: there's I still have some reservations. I mean, it's either 548 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 2: you're getting in bed with Dabo or Franklin for a marriage. 549 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 2: But I guess I'm killing Kid and uh plus Collins 550 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 2: all in on caid this year, and so I want 551 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 2: to be anti Cage for that reason. So yeah, we're 552 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 2: killing Kid, We're marrying Alur, and we're effing Nuss. I'll 553 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 2: go for you. A little off off the beaten path 554 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 2: with Matier, Arnold and and beck. 555 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 3: Ooh, I haven't thought a lot about Carson beck this year. 556 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 3: I got to kill Jackson Arnold. I've heard some things 557 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 3: about Jackson that he may stink, but and his offense 558 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 3: I love. I love Auburn's wide receiver receiving. 559 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 2: And they finally have a capable offensive line. I think 560 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,120 Speaker 2: he meshes well, it just comes down to how how 561 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 2: much was Arnold him not living up that page and 562 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 2: how much was it his surroundings? Right, the entire offensive 563 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 2: line was hurt, all the receivers were hurt. How do 564 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 2: you how do you assign that blame? How much was Arnold? 565 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 2: How much was it his surrounding? And how much can 566 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 2: Gus get out of him? Another fascinating quarterback question there. 567 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 2: But then Matier too, It's like, then from Washington State 568 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 2: to Oklahoma, and how does that translate. 569 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 3: I'll take Carson Beck for the year, and I will 570 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 3: have a one night stand with John Mattiir. I love Matier. 571 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 3: I think I think anybody who like loves college football 572 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 3: will love John Mattire. But he also kind of scares 573 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 3: the hell out of me as a guy who could 574 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 3: lose you games. But in a one game scenario where 575 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 3: I'm like, go just your bowl your shoulder, over throw 576 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 3: the ball sixty yards off your back foot and make 577 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 3: a play, then that's. 578 00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 2: How Arnold him back to they could lose you games 579 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 2: on any given and any given day too. 580 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I think, I think I'm buying 581 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 3: Carson Beck in Miami's offense. I think he'll look a 582 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 3: lot better playing in the ACC. Good receivers. Again, I 583 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 3: don't have a lot of good things to say about 584 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 3: Super Mario, but in that scenario, yeah, I'll take I'll 585 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 3: do the I'll kill Jackson Arnold, I'll sleep with Matier, 586 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 3: and I'll take Carson Beck's handed marriage. 587 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 2: All right, before we continue here, quick batteried from one 588 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 2: of our favorites, Underdog.

DJ Lagway is an absolute alpha. 649 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:36,919 Speaker 2: Yes, Ganowski. 650 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,439 Speaker 3: Gronowski is not an alpha. Because I will stand by 651 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:45,319 Speaker 3: the stance that Illinois quarterbacks cannot be. Mark Rotowski is 652 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 3: a from Niqua Valley, Illinois. 653 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 2: Oh you mean from what you don't think anyone from 654 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 2: Illinois could be an alpha quarterback? 655 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 3: Well, I mean unless you're JJ McCarthy and Nazareth Legend. 656 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 3: I'm just not big on on Illinois quarterbacks coming out 657 00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 3: of the state of Illinois.
