1
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: And welcome in Lakeick is Live. It is Sunday Night

2
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: in September twenty fifth, the year more lawd twenty twenty two,

3
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: brought to you, as always by Academy Sports and Outdoors.

4
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: The casuals were sleeping and weep wide away on what

5
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: was a very memorable not that it should come as

6
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: a surprise. Week four We're jam packed. We're high at

7
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: top a blissful downtown Nashville, Tennessee. Full Week four reaction.

8
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: Our Sunday Night show is always jam packed. Tonight's show

9
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: no different. We had upsets yesterday, we had in some

10
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: cases implosions because the mere word upset does not do

11
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: justice to what we saw happen with some of these

12
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: programs yesterday. We will discuss it all tonight. There will

13
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: be no punches pulled. Yeah, Brandon Walker says that we

14
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: don't tell you you suck on this show. There was

15
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: a lot of sucking that happened yesterday, and we've got

16
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: to talk about a lot of it. But there's also

17
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: a lot of credit to give out too. It's not

18
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: the end of the world for pretty much anyone, aside

19
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: from Jeff Collins who just got fired like thirty minutes ago.

20
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: He's out at Georgia Tech. We won't have a lot

21
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: of time to break that down tonight. That is some

22
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: breaking news. We've got an every Given Saturday Tour announcement,

23
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: our week five destination coming up tonight. We have got

24
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: four early best bets because the ram Noodle Express now

25
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: back on track. A winning day yesterday. I don't know

26
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: how much plainer I can put this to you. If

27
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: you watched Friday Night Lines, you had a winning day yesterday.

28
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: If you didn't watch it, you had a losing day yesterday.

29
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: It is imperative that you were following on Instagram. At

30
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: Lake Kick Josh, I'm not broadcasting that on all of

31
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: our channels because when we do it, the lines move.

32
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: Not to sound braggadocious, but we have a pretty big

33
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: show here, so I don't like doing that. So I

34
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: like putting it in one area and if you want it,

35
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: come get it. I think Selena Gomez was the first

36
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: to say that, I'm just a second at late Kick Josh.

37
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: Make sure you're following on Instagram. They're watching us in Houston, Texas,

38
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: Saint Paul, Minnesota, Cartersville, Georgia, and Tallahassee. Florida. I got

39
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: nothing else to say. We got to dive in. We

40
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: have so much to get to. I've got like fifteen

41
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: games that we're going to touch on in some shape,

42
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: form or fashion. Make sure that you like the video

43
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: and subscribe to the channel if you're here. We were

44
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: in Nieland Stadium yesterday. What an environment that was, Director

45
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: Colin into What an environment they created there. I'm not

46
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: saying it was the loudest that place has ever been.

47
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it was one of the louder environments

48
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: that we've been a part of. And I'm on the

49
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: sideline somewhere every week, and Wow, what a game, What

50
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,119
Speaker 1: an incredible college football game we saw. And also there's

51
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: a lot to say about Florida here. You know the

52
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: rule ninety nine percent of the time we talk about

53
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: the winning team first, and I'm going to do that.

54
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, if you're a Florida fan, I got

55
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: a little different perspective on the outcome of this game

56
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: and Billy Napier in this program's future than what I saw.

57
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: A lot of people have, so stay tuned for that.

58
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: I think it's best to work backwards on this game

59
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: because when I think back on it, you know, I

60
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: think about the fact that Thursday and Tuesday we were

61
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: kind of talking about what the path would be for

62
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: a Florida upset, and a lot of it happened. And

63
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: so that's the first thing that I kind of want

64
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: to get to in just to say. Second, but the

65
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: postgame scene at Neeland yesterday would only make sense to

66
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 1: you if you're a college football fan, if you were

67
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: a cricket fan or a baseball fan, you don't really

68
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: watch the college game, but you just happen to be

69
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: flipping and their CBS, Oh, there's one of those big

70
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: college football games. Let's go see what's happening. And you

71
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: watch the ending, you say, wow, those people are really

72
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: worked up. Why are they so worked up? Let me

73
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: go punch it up. Wow, they were favored by ten

74
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: and a half. They didn't even win by ten and

75
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: a half. If anything, shouldn't they be upset? Why are

76
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: these people so excited? Well, if you know the series

77
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: history here, if you know how big a hurdle this

78
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: Florida hurdle has been for Tennessee, if you understand how

79
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: helpless those folks have felt for extended portions of the

80
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: past couple of decades. Really, when it comes to some

81
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: of these rivalries, you get how big it is to

82
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: win this stuff. It was so reminiscent to me of

83
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: being the Arkansas A and M game last year when

84
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: Arkansas finally got the win against AMM and folks were

85
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: crying on the field. There's a massive celebration that is

86
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: so similar to what it was like being on the

87
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: field yesterday. I mean, that was a crowd that was

88
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: beside themselves worked up. I don't know how much of

89
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: it spilled over on the broadcast. I don't even know

90
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: how much of that postgame scene they showed you on

91
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,239
Speaker 1: the broadcast, but wow, that was an extended, really really

92
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: incredible loud setting after the game is over. So that

93
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: was the post game, and that was a beautiful scene

94
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: for Tennessee. But during the game, if you were to

95
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: go back to Friday, which is kind of the way

96
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: I like to think about some of this, I think

97
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: if I were to walk up to Billy Napier as

98
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: they boarded the plane in Gainesville Friday and I said,

99
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson got to have four point fifty three passing

100
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: and sixty two rushing, will you take it? I think

101
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: he would have said, get this thing in the air, now,

102
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: let's go. We've got this. We're gonna go win this game.

103
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 1: Because that's exactly what Anthony Richardson did, and Tennessee found

104
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: a way to not only win anyway, Tennessee found a

105
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: way to be up thirty eight to twenty one in

106
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Florida was five a six on fourth down.

107
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: They went for it on fourth down half a dozen times.

108
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: Now that tells you two things. Number One, they converted

109
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: at a very high rate. Number Two, Billy Nampier did

110
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: not board that plane in Gainesville bound for Knoxville and

111
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: say let's just go try and keep it close. Man.

112
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: They threw everything they had at Tennessee. I thought they

113
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: brought their fastball. I thought they played a very good game.

114
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: This is a credit to Tennessee. Tennessee took the best

115
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: haymaker I think Florida was capable of delivering, and they

116
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: still found a way not only to win the game,

117
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: but to be in control of the game without their

118
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: top wide receiver in the second half. Here's why Tennessee's

119
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: different this year. If you haven't watched this team closely,

120
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: you may just think, well, okay, they're good offensively again.

121
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: Big deal. They were good offensively last year. What in'

122
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: just numbers. If you watched Tennessee last year, you remember

123
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: how many times they started fast and the installed. Well, yesterday

124
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: was the antithesis of that. In fact, Florida was up

125
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: fourteen to ten near the half. Tennessee scored thirty eight

126
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: points in this game. Thirty five of them came after

127
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: the first quarter. That's one thing that's different about Tennessee.

128
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: I don't know how many times I heard people last

129
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: week say it is imperative for them to have a

130
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: fast start. If they don't have a fast start, then

131
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. They didn't have a fast start. They

132
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: didn't start slow, but offensively, they didn't put dents on

133
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: the scoreboard really until the second half and then really

134
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: third quarter and fourth quarter. The second thing is when

135
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: they didn't have the fast start. Again, I'm watching on

136
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: field level. I don't know how it came across on

137
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: the broadcast, but there was never a moment's hesitation, a

138
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: moment's flinching. Because Hendon Hooker knew even when they went

139
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: down and they turned the ball over one time, he knew,

140
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: and they knew collectively, they were getting what they wanted offensively,

141
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: and it would eventually after body blow, body blow, body blow,

142
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: it would eventually break floor. That that's what they thought,

143
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: and that's how it ended up happening. But I look

144
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: at the game in totality, and I see them win

145
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 1: the game, and I see the celebration around me, So

146
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: I think, Man, the Tennessee fans, they're going to be

147
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: really really worked up in a good way, and most

148
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: of them were. But the nature of a close game

149
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: is sometimes you have as pessimistic crowd out there, and

150
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: the pessimists in the room and the agnostics who don't

151
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: root for either team, they just want to pick everyone apart.

152
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: They look at Tennessee and they say, well, you can't

153
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: beat so and so with that secondary, because Tennessee's secondary

154
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: got carved yesterday and physically embarrassed in some cases. I

155
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: was standing right in front of Zipper when he ran

156
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: through about twenty seven guys in a route to the

157
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: end zone. No, whatn't the best of looks for Tennessee.

158
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: I'm Florida play tough man. You got to give a

159
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: lot of credit there, Like Zipperer, I don't know if

160
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: you've ever stood next to him. I have He's not

161
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: the easiest guy to bring down. So I saw and

162
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: heard a lot of people after this game saying, you

163
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: can't beat Bama, you can't beat Georgia with that secondary.

164
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: College football teams are not kitchen appliances. These are not

165
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: units where if one little thing's wrong, none of the

166
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: machine can function. It's not a toaster, it's not a microwave. Okay.

167
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: College football teams have strengths, they have weaknesses, and the

168
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: million dollar question every year is how much can your

169
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: strengths make up for or mask some of your weaknesses. Now,

170
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: you can't have terminal flaws, but some teams like Tennessee, No,

171
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: they could show up and score forty any given Saturday.

172
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: And so there is the opportunity for your secondary to

173
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: struggle like they did yesterday, and you still win a

174
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: football game against a team that's playing at a high

175
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: level like Florida. And if you lack in one area

176
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: and you can make up for another, yeah, you can

177
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: beat whoever you put in that blank. I'll look at

178
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: Bama coming in there in a few weeks. They still

179
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: got to play LSU. They've got a lot of football left.

180
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: But I know that they've got to play Bama. Man,

181
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: if they throw the ball out they're capable of they

182
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: can hang with Alabama, especially on the road. What's Bama

183
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: been on the road the last couple of years, by

184
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: the way, And we'll find that out again this Saturday. Secondly,

185
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: I don't know that we've even seen anyone capable of

186
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: throwing the ball on Georgia. Week one is probably the

187
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: result that you would point to, But man, Oregon was

188
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: a no show there doing large part because of Georgia.

189
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: My point is these games happen in the futureness is, Yeah,

190
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: you've got strengths too, so use your strengths to mask

191
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: your weaknesses. I do want to say something here, because

192
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a whole lot of talk about Tennessee.

193
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna have them very highly rated than JP Poldamorro

194
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: or Tuesday, and that's all deserved. And I can't speak

195
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: highly enough of our experience this weekend in Knoxville. The

196
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: reason it sounds like I'm kind of skipping ahead to

197
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: Florida is because I know we got a lot to

198
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 1: talk about with Tennessee. I don't think we've gone to

199
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: Knoxville for the last time. This year. I don't think

200
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: we've seen Tennessee in person for the last time this year.

201
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: This is a team that can do some things and

202
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: I know that. Like I said, you can look at

203
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: the secondary but but there's no butt. There's losable games,

204
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: there's winnable game. That's how the sport happens. There are

205
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,719
Speaker 1: no machines. So there's a lot in the future to

206
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: play for For Tennessee, there's a lot that we're going

207
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: to talk about with them. I thought with Florida, I'm

208
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: serious about this. I thought for Florida, this was an

209
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: excellent result that was masked by a poor outcome. They

210
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,599
Speaker 1: lost the game. Wins and losses at the end of

211
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: the day, A what matter, I get it. I listened

212
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: to Napier postgame. He said the exact same thing. I

213
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: liked a lot of what we did, but there are

214
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: no moral victories. Okay, Florida has looked bad the past

215
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, and it stood to reason if they

216
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: brought the same kind of performance into Nyland Stadium they

217
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: had against Kentucky or they had against USF, they were

218
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: going to get drummed. You know, there was a very

219
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: real worst case scenario where this game was thirty eight

220
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: to thirteen in the fourth quarter instead of thirty eight

221
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: thirty three, and I think everyone was aware of that.

222
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 1: I think Billy Napier was aware of that. I did

223
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: something I rarely do yesterday. About ninety five percent of

224
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: the time I go to the winning team's postgame press conference.

225
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: I went to Napier's press conference yesterday, so I wanted

226
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: to hear what his take was on that. I wanted

227
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: to hear him talk about his personal foul, too, and

228
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: so he addressed both of those things. But he you

229
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: could tell if you read through the lines, he knew

230
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: they came up there and he got a lot of

231
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: what he needed. What he needed to see was the

232
00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: fight on the road. What he needed to see was

233
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: them compete, because even though you always say those things

234
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: about your team, you got to see it in action

235
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: to really find out what they're made of. And there

236
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: was a lot of validating I thought that happened yesterday

237
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: for Florida's program in a loss. That's why I'm saying program,

238
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: not team. This team lost a game yesterday. This program

239
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: saw a lot of what Billy Napier and his staff

240
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: hoped was there, and they hope that they can start

241
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: to foster I mean, Ventrem Miller played all things considered

242
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: one of the best games in the country yesterday. Why

243
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: because people didn't even think he was going to play

244
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: up until a few days before kickoff. Anthony Richardson didn't

245
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: know where the ball was going two weeks ago when

246
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: it left his hand. Guy played out of his mind. Yesterday.

247
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: The entire team competed. They were very physical. They're a

248
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: flawed team. There is a very very obvious ceiling on

249
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: this particular group of guys because of that. But that

250
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: is what it is. It's year one, it's not year five,

251
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: it's not even your guys. Having said all that, I

252
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 1: thought there was a lot that you saw from that

253
00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: team that they should be proud of. Now. I also

254
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: want to keep this in mind. A lot of people

255
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 1: take for granted the things I just said, Well, sure

256
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 1: they competed, what else are they gonna do? Quit that's

257
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: what else you could do. Because it happened last year

258
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 1: with that team, Florida fans know that I wouldn't be

259
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: so quick to forget that because that stuff is hard

260
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: to change. That kind of stuff. If it's happened and

261
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: you're talking about overturning a culture and all that good stuff.

262
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: Those aren't just media days talking points. That stuff's not

263
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: easy to do. And so the reason why Napier sounded

264
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: beaten but encouraged in a postgame is because I think

265
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: he saw the same thing I saw on his team.

266
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: There's a lot still to play for with that squad.

267
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: They got two losses right now. I think they're going

268
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: to improve throughout the year. They are vulnerable to injury

269
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: because they have depth issues, but if they can stay

270
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: somewhat reasonably healthy, I still think they got a lot

271
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: to play for. So I mean I left yesterday thinking

272
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: there were plenty of good things to be said about

273
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: both teams. But it was an incredible game to witness,

274
00:12:54,360 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: very very high level of play there. I'm excited for

275
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: our friends coast to coast because you always have access

276
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: to Academy because even if you don't have one in

277
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: your backyard, you got the internet. You can go to

278
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: Academy dot com. But every so often, paper pop every

279
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: so often, that's how you know it's serious. We've got

280
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: a special announcement to make, and here is said special

281
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: announcement this week. In fact, this weekend, there is a

282
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: new academy opening in Lexington, Kentucky. And those of you

283
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: who have been in or around Panama City or Norfolk,

284
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 1: you know what that means. It means if you can

285
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: get to that place. I don't care if you drive

286
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: there from Springfield, Illinois. If you get there and you

287
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: can prove to me that you were in that store

288
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: and you bought something, and you participated in the grand

289
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: opening and made it a successful event, I would venture

290
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: to guess about ten of you are going to be

291
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: selected to win a chalice of Supremacy, which is that

292
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,839
Speaker 1: little glass figurine there on our desk, and it has

293
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: the Peate State emblem engraved in it. You cannot buy those.

294
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: We don't sell them. They're not in the pet State store.

295
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: They are nowhere other than in boxes in our office

296
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: waiting to be handed out at my soul discretion. And

297
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: if you patronize are presenting sponsor Academy Sports and Outdoors

298
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 1: and you get selected, you're getting one of them. We

299
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: just shipped out a bunch of them last week, so

300
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: we'll be shipping more up Lexington, Kentucky. All of you

301
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: ask when do we get in an academy? You got

302
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: yours coming they are our exclusive partner. I cannot even

303
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: begin to express how many things we get to do

304
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: here because of them. And like I've always said, it's

305
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: also a double bonus for you. You get the show

306
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: for free because of them, and you get a bunch

307
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: of great stuff in your life because of them, because

00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: and Outdoors. What do you do in Miami? What happened yesterday?

312
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: I was at the Tennessee game, not the Middle Tennessee game,

313
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: although there was one of those. As it turns out,

314
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: I'm at the Tennessee game, and as you do during

315
00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 1: commercial breaks, I'm scrolling through the eye Josh, and I

316
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: see the score of the Middle Tennessee Miami game, and

317
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: I just I write it off as an error. Those

318
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: things happen sometimes. It is only twenty twenty two, after all,

319
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: and then I see on the ribbon board in Niland

320
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: Stadium it says the same score. At that point I

321
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: knew something horrible had happened. But I heard some other

322
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: people saying, look at that score, it's an error. Look

323
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: at it's messed up. That was the consensus in Niland

324
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: Stadium that that can't be real. That's Middle Tennessee State's

325
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: not bodybag in Miami like that. There's no way. Yeah

326
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: they did, Yeah, they kind of did. That's the bad news.

327
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: The worst news is the box score fully checks out.

328
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: There was nothing freakish about this. As Mario Christavaul said afterwards,

329
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: we got out coached, we got out physical, we got

330
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: out played by hoopst Middle Tennessee State. I think they're

331
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: like a six point dog at home this week. So yeah,

332
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: we have, as you would suspect, some things to say

333
00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: about this. They faced man coverage all day against Miami.

334
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: Miami understandably thought, we have athletes in our secondary that

335
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: are good enough to be on scholarship at Miami. They

336
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: are Middle Tennessee State. Here's what we're going to do.

337
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: We're gonna man up on them all afternoon, which, on

338
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: the surface, given the tradition, rich history of the Miami program,

339
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: probably makes sense to you until the game started and

340
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: then you realized, oh boy, and we're watching b roll

341
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: from the game yesterday. But Colin probably has about combined

342
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: three minutes of that he can play because it was

343
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: just toast job after toast job. Man coverage. Check the film.

344
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: There's no sugarcoating it. Those were the words of Mario

345
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: Christobaul as to why his secondary was basically running second

346
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: place in a track meet all afternoon. It was abhorrent,

347
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: it was terrible. It was beyond worst case scenario. Middle

348
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: Tennessee had sixteen point three yards per pass yesterday. If

349
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,040
Speaker 1: you split that in half, it would figure to be

350
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: a good day in the passing game for them. Miami

351
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: was favored by over three touchdowns, which explains why everyone

352
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 1: thought this score may be a typo and they just

353
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: got handled all day. Middle Tennessee never trailed. They forced

354
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: turnovers on Miami's first three possessions, they stopped Miami on

355
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: down's three more possessions. And as for that man coverage

356
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: that Miami employed, Middle Tennessee had pass completions of sixty

357
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:30,959
Speaker 1: nine yards, seventy one yards, eighty nine yards, and ninety

358
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: eight yards. There are a lot of teams out there

359
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: this year that are going to be really good that

360
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: will not have pass completions of eighty nine or more

361
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: yards all season, and Middle Tennessee had two of them yesterday,

362
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 1: and another one for sixty nine and another one for

363
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 1: seventy one. How does it go this poorly? You can

364
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: talk about injury, you would be right. You would talk

365
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: about some depth concerns, you would be right. This is

366
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: totally like beyond the scope, beyond the paal. I have

367
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: friends who cover Miami who were at a combined loss

368
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 1: for words yesterday. We have obviously a huge contingent of

369
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: Miami fans who watched the show, and I expected outrage

370
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: in the inbox and discussed in the inbox. It wasn't that.

371
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: It was almost as if a bomb went off and

372
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: you weren't close enough to it to be wiped out,

373
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: but you were plenty close enough to have the shell shock,

374
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: and everyone was just kind of, I don't know what

375
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: to say, What do we do? Where are we at?

376
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: What is this? That was sort of the aftermath, if

377
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: you want to call it that, of this football game.

378
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: So once Miami fans finally did regain their senses a

379
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: little bit, they talked about Tyler van Dyke, who was

380
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,360
Speaker 1: benched yesterday in favor of Jake Garcia, And that's its

381
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: own little subplot, the quarterback situation at Miami, but also

382
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: we have to talk a little bit about the offense

383
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: down there. There was a big move in the headlines

384
00:18:55,600 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: made by Mario Christbaul when he brought Josh Gadison, and

385
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 1: I think nationally, because you don't watch down to down,

386
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: everyone probably still thinks that was a big higher. Miami

387
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 1: fans know this offense is terrible, and I will second

388
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: that the offense sucks. I'm not saying Gaddis does, because

389
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: that's not the way I look at coaches, but what

390
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: they're doing offensively, it certainly isn't conducive to putting Tyler

391
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 1: van Dijk in the best position to succeed. Now, some

392
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: of it's on him, I'm not saying it's not, but man,

393
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: it's not like we don't know what the guy's capable

394
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: of because we saw it last year, so he's capable

395
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 1: of a lot more. What kind of position are you

396
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: putting him in? And if this just isn't an offense

397
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: conducive to his skill set, do you tell him to

398
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: hit the transfer portal? Obviously you're not going to do that.

399
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 1: I'm speaking rhetorically, but this offense is bad, and what

400
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: I won't do, I can shed a little light on this. Now.

401
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: What I won't do is sit here and have Colin

402
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: and Jesse dim the lights and go over here and

403
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 1: pull out a grease board and start diagramming what the

404
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 1: problems are. It's not that kind of show. I'm not

405
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: equipped nor qualified to do that anyway, and I don't

406
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: pretend otherwise. But here's what I can do. I can

407
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: tell you a couple of things that I have not

408
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: shared before. The first thing is when Mario hired Josh Gaddis,

409
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: I had some people hit me up in the coaching

410
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: community and tell me that move's not going to work

411
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: out like people think it is, because they saw the

412
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: headlines and they saw that Miami was being praised for

413
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: poaching Josh Gaddis Broyle's Award winner Josh Gaddis away from Michigan.

414
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 1: Another coach said, Michigan will not be hurt at all

415
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: by this. And if you're looking at Michigan now, have

416
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 1: you watched them all year and thought to yourself, boy, man,

417
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 1: they are missing Josh Gaddis. No, So a lot of

418
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 1: what I had told to me has been validated. Again,

419
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 1: that's not me watching, that's not me ascribing my opinion

420
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 1: on it. I am regurgitating what coaches said to me.

421
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 1: And then the second thing I want to tell you is,

422
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: once we got into the season a little bit, there

423
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 1: has not been forget a week, there has not been

424
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: a series for Miami hardly that's gone by when they're

425
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: playing where I haven't had coaches texting me saying, see

426
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: what I mean, see that you're watching this. You've seen

427
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: what's not happening with Miami. So I know a lot

428
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: of Miami fans are very upset with the production or

429
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: lack thereof from the offense so far. I can tell

430
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: you that your feelings have been echoed by a lot

431
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: of people with no skin in the game down there,

432
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: but are in the game as coaches. So either Josh

433
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: Gaddis is for some reason one of the most hated

434
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: dudes in all of coaching, or they're just calling it

435
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: like they see it and judging by the folks I

436
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 1: talk to, because I know who these folks are, I

437
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: don't think it's the former. I think it's the latter.

438
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: I just don't think they're very impressed with Josh Gaddis,

439
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 1: and certainly you're not impressed with what he's done so

440
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: far in Miami. I don't know where they're going to

441
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: go from there. That's bad. It has the chance to snowball.

442
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: That's the challenge. Now, do you isolate that just to

443
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: being a terrible loss, or does it snowball on you

444
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: and end up taking your whole season off? The cliff

445
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: remains to be seen. They're watching us in Lubbock, Texas,

446
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: and boy are we going to talk about to find

447
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 1: folks in Lubbick in a little while. They're watching us

448
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 1: in Miami, Florida, or maybe they're not after that, they're

449
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: watching us in Savannah, Georgia. We appreciate you, guys, wherever

450
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: you're tuned in. Remember we're already almost at one thousand,

451
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: but there are over forty two hundred of you watching live.

452
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 1: So click that thumbs up button for me right quick.

453
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: I'll give you three seconds, two one, Thank you, And

454
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: while you're at it, subscribe because like fifty eight percent

455
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: of our audience that watches the show still is not subscribed.

456
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:32,719
Speaker 1: All right, that's it. Ohio State did some terrible, horrible

457
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: things to Wisconsin yesterday fifty two to twenty one. You know,

458
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: let me crack my knuckles one as usual. I'm old

459
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 1: enough to remember when this offense was a problem for

460
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: Ohio State. Remember that it's been about three weeks now.

461
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: Remember ten to seven, trailing Notre Dame in the second

462
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 1: half of the opening game. Eventually they string together enough

463
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: positive plays to win twenty one to ten. Remember though,

464
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: remember when Jim Knowles defense was welcome to the party.

465
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: But now all of a sudden, this offense is sputtering.

466
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 1: I do, I do because we came on the show

467
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: and I told you I am totally comfortable with this

468
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 1: offense struggling in week one, especially if this defense is

469
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: here to stay. Why because anyone, and I mean anyone

470
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: with any sense about themselves knew this offense isn't going

471
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: to struggle for long. Are you crazy? Do you know

472
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: who you have at quarterback? Do you know how many

473
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: weapons you have a bunch of them were new and

474
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 1: some of them had been injured. You know who you

475
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 1: have in the backfield? You know what the potential of

476
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 1: this offensive line is. You didn't know it, but you

477
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: got a big weapon at tight end too. That stuff

478
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 1: was eventually gonna gel and it has. And now guess what,

479
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: breaking news from yesterday? The offense is here too. Fifty

480
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 1: two to twenty one. Total abuse. They could have done

481
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: whatever they wanted in this game to Wisconsin cade Stover,

482
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 1: he's the tight end there. It almost seemed as if

483
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: about midway through the first quarter, Ryan Day just started

484
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 1: going up in the stands and he said, dare me

485
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: to do something. And someone said, I know you got

486
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: Fleming out there doing his thing in Abuka, and you

487
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: got all these weapons in the backfield. I dare you

488
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: to just start throwing the ball to Stover. And Ryan

489
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: Day said Stover, okay, And he walked back down on

490
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: the sideline and just started dialing up passes to Stover

491
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: because he started to even take over the game. I

492
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 1: think he was tied for second in receptions on the

493
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: team last night. Point is they got a lot of weapons,

494
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: and a lot of them have gotten healthy. Now they

495
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: are a forced to be reckoned with in the Big Ten,

496
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: and nationally they were green in the secondary though yesterday.

497
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: I don't think this game got a lot of play nationally,

498
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: and we didn't even do an individual game breakdown on

499
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: it yet on last week's shows. But what I would

500
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: have said is Wisconsin, if they've got an outside shot

501
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: in this game, it's because even though the passing game's

502
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: nothing to write home about what Wisconsin and boy it

503
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: was not. Maybe they find some yardage that you don't

504
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: expect because there's a lot of newness and inexperience in

505
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 1: the Ohio State secondary because they've been banged up back there,

506
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: and yet they were still held to one hundred and

507
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: four yards total passing. Tanner McAllister is a guy who

508
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: is not on any preseason watch list, but played safety

509
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 1: yesterday and he picked a ball off early and you

510
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: watch him in the post pick return portion of the

511
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: play and he looks like a veteran. Not only did

512
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: he immediately take a time to secure the ball, but

513
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: he got a pass break up later in the game.

514
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: He just looked like he'd been starting for like four

515
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: or five years. And he's a guy who's been put

516
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 1: on the field because there are some other guys who

517
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: haven't been on the field or are not on the field.

518
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: It just they feel like a team possessed. That's how

519
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 1: they played yesterday. They played like a team possessed. It

520
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: was the Big Ten opener, it was a night game,

521
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 1: it was primetime, it was the ABC game of the week.

522
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: They said a lot of stuff in the spring and

523
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 1: summer that on the surface doesn't mean anything until you

524
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: back it up. But they're backing it up now. Now

525
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: it's going to be very popular to pick them apart,

526
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: and they won't always this dominant this year at least,

527
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 1: I don't think. But this team has an opportunity to

528
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: win a national championship because this team has all the

529
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 1: ingredients and there's another thing that I think this team has,

530
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: but ultimately we'll have to wait for him to prove it.

531
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: What cost them last year was there were some times

532
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 1: it really won, in particular the Michigan game. That's what

533
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: we're talking about, where they were the second most physical

534
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: team on the field and it showed. And that was

535
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 1: the big challenge. That was the challenge from Ryan Day

536
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: to his staff. That was a challenge from Ryan Day

537
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,360
Speaker 1: to his team. We can't have that. There's no excuse.

538
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: We get our pick virtually of the best athletes in

539
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: the country, and it's up to us to turn them

540
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: into the most physical team in the Big Ten. There's

541
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: no way we should ever take a back seat in

542
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: that department. It's early, but so far they look like

543
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: they've answered that bell. And I'll tell you a microcosm

544
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: of that. If you'll watch Heartline's wide receiver room. You

545
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: know about the speed, and you know about the skill

546
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: and athleticism, and they've got all that also really physical,

547
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: really physical blocking. They're really physical after the catch. Go

548
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: watch Julian Fleming. These guys are not the five to ten,

549
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty five pound types. You can win

550
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: games with those types. I'm just saying, there's a little

551
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: different caliber athlete in the Ohio State wide receiver room,

552
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: and they have all the other stuff you want an

553
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: elite receiver to have, but they're physical too, and that

554
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: is kind of a microcosm. That receiver room is exhibiting

555
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: the characteristics that really the whole team has been challenged

556
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: to exhibit. And my common sense is indicating to me that, boy,

557
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 1: if you're getting that from the receiver room, which is

558
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: usually the last room to jump on board, I feel

559
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 1: good that it's going to be exhibited by the rest

560
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 1: of the team in time. I had someone text me

561
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: before I got to watch this game. He said, yeah,

562
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna praise Ohio State, but keep in mind, Wisconsin

563
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 1: scored twenty one points. Dude, it was forty five to

564
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: seven in the fourth quarter. I don't care they could.

565
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: Ohio State could have named the score here, and really,

566
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 1: if Jim Knowles wanted to clamp down, I don't think

567
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: Wisconsin is breaking double digits on the scoreboard. Five point

568
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: thirty nine to two ninety six was the yardage edge.

569
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 1: Twenty eight to eleven was the first down edge. Sixteen

570
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: point five yards per completion for ZJ. Stroud, six yards

571
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: per carry. Just for good measure, this was This was

572
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: a splattering. This was a classic Saturday night splattering, an

573
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 1: SNS as we like to say around here, because we

574
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: have an acronym for everything. Congratulations to Ohio State. What

575
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 1: do they have this week? Rutgers on deck, or as

576
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: you might call it, a continuation of Big Ten Conference play?

577
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: We move on this one hurt, This one hurt me.

578
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: Let me take a little sip of caffeine here. I

579
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: don't have rooting interests unless I pick a team, or

580
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: we bet on a team, then I want those teams

581
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: to win. Those are week by week propositions. Colin. I

582
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: don't want you to put any of that in the

583
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: individual video. I just want it to be said so

584
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 1: that when we get into this part, it's been explained.

585
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: Texas A and M beat Arkansas yesterday twenty three to

586
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: twenty one. We picked Arkansas on the show last week.

587
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: We thought the wrong team was favored. What matters in

588
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: this game? Let's answer this together. What matters at the

589
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: end of the game when you look at the scoreboard,

590
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: what do we keeping score for? It matters who won,

591
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: That's what matters. Doesn't matter what a box score says.

592
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: That's all just minutia that you can throw in the

593
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 1: blender of conversation after the game. And believe me, I'm

594
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: about to. That's why I am caveating everything with Texas.

595
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: A and M won this game. That's all that matters,

596
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: and that is what people will remember six months from now,

597
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: six years from now. Having said that, I don't have

598
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: a different opinion on either one of the teams after

599
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: the game, so I haven't In order, I have this

600
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:51,959
Speaker 1: big A and M group text that I'm a part of,

601
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: and a lot of them always try and guess what

602
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to say about the Aggies after a game.

603
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: Now they haven't had two difficult a time guessing what

604
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: I'm about to say the last couple weeks. But there

605
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: was a mixed reaction in the group text yesterday. One

606
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: of them said you got to apologize to us. Then

607
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: another one jumped on that one before I could and said, bro,

608
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: he's not going to apologize. We kind of secretly got

609
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: out played. Then that person responded and said, who cares?

610
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: We won the game. I just sent an emoji. I'm

611
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: not gonna tell you which one, but this was a

612
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: Bob special. This was a bounce of ball special. That's

613
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: kind of one of our little internal stats we keep

614
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: to explain what they in a collegiation are calling the

615
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: oink doink, which is rude but I think very apropos.

616
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: That's how the game ended. Missfield goal off the top

617
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: of the upright, no less. Watch this foolishness. If you're

618
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: watching on YouTube, I yeah, yeah, how does it happen?

619
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: I don't know that. Every given Saturday, man, every given Saturday.

620
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: There were some things that went down here for Arkansas yesterday.

621
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: You had the game and the play of the game.

622
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: I talk about the second, but you had a bad

623
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: snap late that is part of football. You had the

624
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: oink doink, that's hard of football. You had this play

625
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: near halftime, and I've seen some math done on this

626
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: sort of thing. You think a turnover that leads to

627
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: an immediate score in the red zone is a big deal.

628
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: But I don't care how big you think it is.

629
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: The numbers say it's way bigger in terms of impact

630
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: on a football game. If you throw like a pick

631
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: six in the end zone, or you got a fumble

632
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: scoop and score when you're in the red zone. That

633
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: stuff it's worth like one hundred points. It seems it

634
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: is so big, it's so hard to overcome. And that

635
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,479
Speaker 1: happened yesterday. It all happened in this game with Arkansas

636
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: and A and M. But I gotta tell you, when

637
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: I looked at my phone and I saw Arkansas grabbed

638
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: a fourteen zero lead, I thought the game was over.

639
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: And I don't know if anyone else thought that in

640
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: this game, or outside in the stands or whatever. I

641
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: thought the game was over. For them to finish with

642
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: twenty one stuns me. And that's a huge credit to Texas,

643
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: A and M. I'm just saying, as a general statement,

644
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: it stuns me that they started out the way they

645
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: and they only put seven more on the board the

646
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: rest of the afternoon. But then when you break it

647
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: down and you see how it happened, it makes a

648
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 1: little more sense. kJ Jefferson is an excellent player, you

649
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: know my affinity for him. But as we got towards

650
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: the half of this game, clearly the turning point in

651
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: this game not a third down play or a fourth

652
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: down play, a first down play. He extends the ball

653
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: near the goal line, it gets stripped, credit A and M.

654
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: It gets returned, credit A and M. But that's not

655
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: just the play of the game. The play of the

656
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: game happened during that play because Tyreek Chappelle is returning

657
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: the ball and he's bottled up, you know, he's about

658
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: to be tackled, and he hands that thing off backwards

659
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: to Demoni Jackson I think it was Demani Jackson, and

660
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: they end up taking it to the house for a touchdown.

661
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: I don't think people fully realize because it's just a crazy,

662
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: wacky play and you just look at that as part

663
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: of the play that changed this game. His wherewithal to

664
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: know I'm bottled up, it's a risk or no risk

665
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: of just hand this thing backwards and Jackson takes it

666
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: to the house. Dude, if they don't score there, they

667
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: were being shut out at this point. If they don't

668
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: get points there, they very well may have lost this game.

669
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: That is a heady play, very heady. You don't practice that.

670
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: You practice pretty much everything they didn't practice that, I

671
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: can guarantee you he's never done that repetition in practice.

672
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: That is knowing football as that situational awareness. That is

673
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: a huge turning point in a game. It's a huge

674
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: turning point in a season because we only play twelve

675
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: of these things. It's a huge turning point in a

676
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: rivalry game that thankfully will not be played neutral sight

677
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: in the foreseeable future. But you see why so much

678
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: confidence over the spring and summer was placed on the

679
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: shoulders of Devon h That's that Na's the first name

680
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: out of Jimbo Fisher's mouth so often at media days

681
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,959
Speaker 1: and preseason during camp. It's because he's a player and

682
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: this was gonna be the year where he finally got

683
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,959
Speaker 1: full workloads. Well he got one yesterday. He carried them

684
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: all nineteen times one hundred and fifty nine yards. That's

685
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: about eight point four per clip. He was, to me,

686
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: the best player on the field yesterday. He was the

687
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: biggest difference maker on the field yesterday and ripping off

688
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 1: big runs when they needed them. Because this is not

689
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 1: a Texas A and m offense that's ever going to

690
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: be consistent. That's how they got to do it. They

691
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: got to have defensive and special team scores, and then

692
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: they've got to hit some big explosive plays, and they

693
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: got to have some luck. And they had all those

694
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: things this week. They had most of those things last week.

695
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 1: I'm very interested to see where they go because you

696
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 1: know the way I've watched AMM When they beat Miami,

697
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: they didn't light the world on fire, but they beat them.

698
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 1: They beat Arkansas yesterday, they didn't light the world on fire,

699
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: but they beat them. Every week. You do that, you're

700
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: buying yourself more time. They've got all their goals still

701
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: in front of them, do the Aggies. They got everything

702
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 1: they want to play for. Their loss is to app state.

703
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: They don't have a conference loss. They can do everything

704
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,399
Speaker 1: they want to and they've got it all on the table,

705
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: so they control. My point is, when you buy yourself time,

706
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: you're hopefully saying you're buying yourself time to improve in

707
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: certain areas. You're hoping to get a little bit more

708
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: offensive consistency. Evan Stewart flashed yesterday a wide receiver. You

709
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: hope that you start building rapport. Anaya Smith looks like

710
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: he's done for the year, so they have to find guys.

711
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: They have to be able to manufacture enough offense. They

712
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: play Mississippi State this week, and I think some of

713
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 1: you may be surprised by what this line opened at.

714
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: We're not Mississippi State's favored against them by two and

715
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 1: a half. That's in Starkville. That's the week before A

716
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: and M plays Alabama. Mind you, so keep that on

717
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 1: your radar. With Arkansas, I just I don't I don't know.

718
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: Maybe some people drastically have their minds changed based on

719
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: these outcomes. I think, you know, I look at the

720
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,800
Speaker 1: sport a little bit different, more of a power rating

721
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: stance than a ranking stance. I heard Arkansas drop ten

722
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: spots in the AP. I don't even think it will

723
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: change their power rating, or it'll change minimally. A and

724
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: M's power rating will change minimally. I highly suspect we'll

725
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 1: have Arkansas ahead of A and M Tuesday night. I

726
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: haven't run the numbers yet. I just I get the

727
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,760
Speaker 1: feel that's where it's going to be. But the reason

728
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: why I prefaced all that with what I did at

729
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 1: the beginning is cause It doesn't matter because A and

730
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 1: M won the game. So you can do the predictive

731
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: stuff all you want to, you can do the forward

732
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: thinking modeling all you want to. They play the games eventually,

733
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: and if you win it, it doesn't matter what the

734
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: spread was, It doesn't matter what anyone says it would

735
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,399
Speaker 1: be who would be favored tomorrow. They're not gonna play

736
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 1: it again. These aren't series. It's not the NLCS they play.

737
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 1: At one time they played at A and M one.

738
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 1: Congratulations to them. Arkansas now wounded animal mode. Who do

739
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: they play Bama this weekend? You know what? It reeks

740
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 1: ofp To me, it's like a reverse Kansas state two

741
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 1: lane thing. I think if I think, if we look

742
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 1: towards next week's game in isolation, the best shot that

743
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: Arkansas probably had against Bama was losing yesterday, because you

744
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 1: know what it does to a locker room, so you

745
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: don't want to lose. But I'm just saying, if you

746
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: look at a one game see coming up, BAM was

747
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: favored by fifteen and a half, which is about five

748
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: point short of what they were favored by at Texas

749
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. You remember how that one

750
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 1: went there's going to be a war in fateful Saturday.

751
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: Will we be there every given Saturday to announcement coming

752
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 1: up in a few minutes. You know, I'm looking at

753
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: the score that I'm about to talk about in front

754
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: of me, and it fascinates me. Clemson went to overtime

755
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: with Wake yesterday and won fifty one to forty five.

756
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 1: And a very strange thing happens to me every Saturday night.

757
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter because we play so many games on

758
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: Saturdays that inevitably something's gonna happen that flies in the

759
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 1: face of conventional wisdom, and that flies in the face

760
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: maybe of some prediction I've made or something I've said.

761
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 1: So it kind of sort of happened in this game.

762
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: Our prediction was Clemson by eight, so you know, it

763
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 1: was Wake's game most of the second half until it

764
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: Wasn't forget about that though. I had one of you,

765
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: I guess one of you come at melat night and

766
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 1: here's what was said, awfully quiet about DJ's performance today,

767
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: not one mention about his performance. Huh interesting, And my reply,

768
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 1: as it always is, was do you want me to

769
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: discuss it on the Saturday night show. I don't have

770
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 1: this Sunday Night Show is the first time I speak

771
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: about ninety nine percent of this stuff. So with that

772
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 1: in mind, sir, who is it, Ge Jenkins, let's talk

773
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 1: about DJ Shall. We won a game from him yesterday,

774
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: a career game. Put it right up there with that

775
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,439
Speaker 1: game he played against Notre Dame a couple of years ago,

776
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 1: and it was really badly needed. As it turns out,

777
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: he was twenty six of forty one three seventy one.

778
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: He accounted for five total touchdowns because he ran it

779
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: for fifty two yards as well. And the reason they

780
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: needed it, as you saw if you watch this game,

781
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: is they didn't run the ball as well as I

782
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: thought they were going to. They ran it four point

783
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: one yards per carry, and that's with Shipley ripping off

784
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 1: a fifty three yard run early. So I don't do

785
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 1: the whole if you take that big play away. But

786
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 1: they had one chunk run and the rest of the

787
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,240
Speaker 1: day they did not have a ton of success running

788
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 1: the ball nearly to the degree they did last year,

789
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,399
Speaker 1: which meant DJ had to win the game. And guess

790
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: what happened, Dj Uyanglile stepped up and won a game,

791
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: which was the big question floating around him. I asked it.

792
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,720
Speaker 1: I don't think it was dumb to ask at all,

793
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:23,320
Speaker 1: because he's looked very average and he's a great kid.

794
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: So a lot of people kind of think you're attacking

795
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 1: his character if you criticize his play. That's not what's

796
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 1: happening here. We could have a poster of him hanging

797
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,240
Speaker 1: on our wall for all I care. He's an improved

798
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 1: quarterback and it should be acknowledged. And I congratulate Clemson

799
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 1: on the win. The question was, if this time ever arrived,

800
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: would he be able to if they couldn't run the ball,

801
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,879
Speaker 1: if their defense was leaky like it was yesterday, could

802
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: he be counted on to win a game? Well, you

803
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: know what, it's happened now, and he did win one. Yesterday.

804
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: Their pass rush, Clemson's pass rush not overly effective. They

805
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: had a ton of inexperience in their secondary and it

806
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 1: got posed yesterday. But he did it, and he did

807
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,280
Speaker 1: it without turning the ball over. Cause the other question

808
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: that I had, at least was if they get in

809
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 1: that spot and he has to throw the ball forty

810
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: one times like you did yesterday, is he making those

811
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 1: throws which are higher risk throws? Is he doing that

812
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: and not creating mistakes as well, because it doesn't throw.

813
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if you throw for four hundred if

814
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: you turn the ball over three times. Well, he threw

815
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: for three seventy one yesterday and there were no turnovers.

816
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: So it was a really big deal for dj Uyangola late.

817
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: Now here's what's up next for them. Clemson has no

818
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: time to lick their wounds. They have no time to

819
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: celebrate because they got in C State in what is

820
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: probably their game of the year this Saturday night, seven

821
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: thirty Eastern time. I think it's the ABC game of

822
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,399
Speaker 1: the week. What would you guess that line opened at

823
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 1: n C State at Clemson so Factory in home field

824
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: for Clemson six and a half or seven. It's what's

825
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: on the board right now, and that's with home field.

826
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 1: So osmakers are telling you neutral three four point difference

827
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 1: between these teams should be a good one. Wake Forest

828
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 1: is at Florida State, and you gotta wonder because this

829
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 1: division seems to be wide open. Clemson admittedly has a

830
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: leg up now in Wake because of the head to head,

831
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 1: but Wake is at FSU. That's probably one of my

832
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: least desired teams to be drawing the week after I

833
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,760
Speaker 1: play Clemson. As it turns out, FSU favored by five.

834
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 1: Gonna have a little bit more to say about that

835
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: game later on. But congratulations, yes, yes, people, Congratulations to DJ,

836
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 1: Congratulations to Clemson. All right, let me take one more

837
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: sit here because we have a major announcement. As we

838
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: tend to a lot around this time of year, we

839
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 1: got a major announcement coming up. Oo man, long pause there,

840
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 1: very unprofessional. We have been to Fayetville, We've been to Austin,

841
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: We've been to Auburn, We've been to Knoxville. We have

842
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 1: had a phenomenal time so far this year on the

843
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 1: Every Given Saturday tour. We have not had a sleepless

844
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 1: night in trying to decide where we're gonna go yet

845
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: like we have over the past twenty four hours. I

846
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: am so conflicted, and it's gonna last. I warned you

847
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 1: last week. We got several weeks coming up where there

848
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:13,840
Speaker 1: are so many attractive choices that's impossible to please everyone.

849
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,879
Speaker 1: I know exactly what Jim Croche was singing about now,

850
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 1: and I don't even know if we're gonna please ourselves community,

851
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 1: but we're gonna try to. So what do we have

852
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 1: on the radar this week. We got a Kentucky ol Miss,

853
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 1: we got a Baylor welcoming Oklahoma State, We've got NC

854
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 1: State at Clemson. I mean, I thought for all the

855
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 1: world a few weeks ago it would be a lot

856
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: that we were going to be at Michigan Iowa, and

857
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: then Iowa fell to Iowa State and it kind of

858
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 1: changed things a little bit. It's time, Colin, isn't it time? Yeah,

859
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 1: it's time the every Given Saturday Tour Week five. We

860
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: are going to a place I've never been before, and

861
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: that is Oxford, Mississippi for Kentucky undefeated Kentucky versus ole

862
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 1: Miss undefeated Ole Miss. Even the AP says it's a

863
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:02,280
Speaker 1: top twenty matchup, as does the JP eleven AM kickoff.

864
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 1: You know, I love that. What went into this decision, well, familiarity.

865
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 1: We've never been there before. I don't know if we'll

866
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 1: be able to see either of these teams again this year.

867
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 1: We haven't seen either one of them. There's always a

868
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,439
Speaker 1: shot down the road to see Clemson, and I look,

869
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 1: I don't know what the Big twelve is going to

870
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:21,879
Speaker 1: hold the rest of the year, but I think we're

871
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 1: gonna be able to get out there Michigan. We got

872
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,439
Speaker 1: several shots to see them down the road this year.

873
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 1: I didn't know when I looked at this matchup, I

874
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: didn't know if we were gonna have shots to see

875
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 1: Kentucky Oral Miss. And keep in mind, it was very

876
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,439
Speaker 1: hard to paint this as a slam dunk undefeated versus

877
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:41,800
Speaker 1: undefeated in the preseason. I mentioned it a couple of

878
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: weeks ago. I told you, if that ends up being

879
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: undefeated versus undefeated, it's gonna be hard to keep us

880
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 1: away from there. However, Ian also matters here. Who is that?

881
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 1: What team does he play for the Gulf of Mexico,

882
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: because that's where he resides right now. And yes, forecast

883
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 1: modeling was also taken into account here. The remnants of

884
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 1: Hurricane Ian expected to be a major hurricane, not a

885
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 1: landfalling major hurricane. I think it'll back off to Cat

886
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 1: two status before it strikes somewhere along the Gulf coast.

887
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:13,879
Speaker 1: I think it'll still be floating around in Clemson. And

888
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 1: so with all those things in mind, I think Oxford

889
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: is going to be spared. We are going to Kentucky

890
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 1: versus Old Miss. Now I cannot wait to get off

891
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 1: air and be told how this is the biggest mistake

892
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 1: of my life. But we've seen great games every week

893
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:27,880
Speaker 1: so far this year, and I think we're going to

894
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: see one again. I am beyond fired up to be

895
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:32,919
Speaker 1: able to go to our first ever game at Old miss.

896
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: I don't know how. I grew up in the South

897
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 1: and I've never been there for a game. But we

898
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: will end that drought in six days. So I don't

899
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: want to use that we're coming to your city tag line.

900
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: I'm told another pregame show uses that. But we will

901
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: be in Oxford, Mississippi, this Saturday. Can't wait. Someone tell

902
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin we're coming. Someone tell him we're coming, because,

903
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: to be honest, there's a shortage of hotels in and

904
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 1: around the area, and I know good and well he

905
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 1: has a block somewhere, so let him know. Thank you.

906
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 1: Texas Tech upset Texas yesterday. We threw them on the

907
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 1: Rama Noodle Express Friday night and they came through money

908
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: Line Special actually thirty seven to thirty four. I thought

909
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: there was roughly a ninety nine percent chance of very

910
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 1: high fourth quarter drama in this game. It had all

911
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: the makings. I could not see a blowout either way. Here,

912
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 1: and sure enough we got it. One of the most

913
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:26,800
Speaker 1: fun and unique cultures in college football is Lubbock, Texas

914
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 1: is Texas Tech. And I know most of you have

915
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: never been out there. Most of you don't watch their

916
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 1: games regularly. This is a people that pride themselves in

917
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 1: things like throwing tortillas on the field at the opening kickoff.

918
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: Why it's not important. Why you just need to understand

919
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 1: that in the Saturday game, unlike your sanitized Sunday product,

920
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: we throw tortillas on the field. I think that's a

921
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 1: beautiful thing. Why don't we throw more tortillas in sports period?

922
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: Texas Tech, they answer that question for me. They say

923
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 1: we do. So Tech Texas goes in there and they

924
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:03,720
Speaker 1: lose to Joey maguire and company. They're just now getting

925
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 1: that program up off the ground. They're just now creating

926
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:10,840
Speaker 1: the culture. And congratulations to them, because this was not

927
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: a game that played out the way you probably thought

928
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: it would. If I told you they were going to

929
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:17,800
Speaker 1: pull the upset, you probably thought they must have gotten

930
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 1: out to this big early lead and Texas could never

931
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: come back. Is that how it happened. That's not how

932
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: it happened. Texas had the lead here. They led twenty

933
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,760
Speaker 1: four to fourteen at the half did the Texas Longhorns,

934
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:33,280
Speaker 1: but Texas Tech turned it over on downs plus territory. Actually,

935
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 1: so that moment is the one I circled when I

936
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: went back and watched this game. Think about this. Now,

937
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,839
Speaker 1: it's the third quarter, Texas is up ten, Texas Tech

938
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 1: turns it over on downs, so Texas has got the

939
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,800
Speaker 1: ball in plus territory up ten. I would have felt

940
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: really good at that point, not if I was sarcked,

941
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 1: because he's in the game, but if I'm watching the game.

942
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 1: I mean, if I were a Tray Scott, you known

943
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 1: on the streets of Stanley, I would feel very good

944
00:46:57,239 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: at that point. And then it all went sideways because

945
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 1: I tell you what Texas Tech did. They just hung around.

946
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:06,400
Speaker 1: They matched points, they hung around. There is a skill

947
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 1: to just hanging around because if you hang around long enough,

948
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,959
Speaker 1: someone may slip up and there may be a crack

949
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:15,320
Speaker 1: and you may be able to slip right through it

950
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 1: and win a game. And they did. Defense couldn't be

951
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 1: leaned on for Texas, and that's unfortunate because that defense

952
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 1: is what really gave them a shot against Alabama. As

953
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 1: it turns out it did not give them a shot

954
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 1: against Texas Tech. How did it happen? If you didn't

955
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 1: get to watch the game, how did it happen? And

956
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 1: is the way that this played out the way you

957
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 1: would have expected to My answer is not quite. Look

958
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 1: at all the fields storming, there are different folks in

959
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,359
Speaker 1: the best of ways. In Lubbock, Texas Tech hung around.

960
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 1: As I said, they ended up plus two in the

961
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,399
Speaker 1: turnover battle. That part you would expect, but they went

962
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 1: six four eight on fourth downs. I had a little

963
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: debate back and forth with producer Jesse in the pre show.

964
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 1: Was that a padlock stat? I think it was the

965
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: most important stat in the game, But that's not always

966
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 1: the padlock stat. So in honor of producer Jesse, I'm

967
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:10,800
Speaker 1: gonna make it a padlock stat. There you go, padlock

968
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:13,319
Speaker 1: stat from the game. Joey McGuire and his team six

969
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,840
Speaker 1: for eight on fourth down. But I look at Donovan

970
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 1: Smith's stat line. That's the quarterback for the Red Raiders.

971
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 1: He went thirty eight to fifty six, three point thirty one,

972
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, no picks. If you've watched them at all

973
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 1: this year, you know they beat Houston in overtime a

974
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 1: few weeks ago, and that is strikingly similar to his

975
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 1: stat line in that game. The final scores looked the same.

976
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: They were both overtime games. Donovan Smith played basically the

977
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,359
Speaker 1: mirror image of that game and it got him pretty

978
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 1: much the same result. Here, really bad loss for Texas.

979
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 1: It's the second loss of the year. You could very

980
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,279
Speaker 1: well make the argument Quinn Ewers is about to come

981
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 1: back and that'll reignite their season. And I hope you're right,

982
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 1: and I think he very well made And if he

983
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 1: played yesterday, I think Texas would win. But he didn't

984
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 1: and they didn't. Is the point there, here's the hidden

985
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 1: bad news and why if you're not careful, this game

986
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: could linger. Texas's defense was on the field for one

987
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 1: hundred plays yesterday. They don't have a bye this week, Guys,

988
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 1: they have West Virginia coming in. Guess what West Virginia

989
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:22,879
Speaker 1: just did. They beat Virginia Tech convincingly on Thursday, which

990
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:27,240
Speaker 1: means they've got a rested West Virginia coming in. Starting

991
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 1: to feel themselves a little bit. Your defense was just

992
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 1: on the field one hundred plays. We think Quinn Youwers

993
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 1: is back this week. We think I'm given what I've

994
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 1: been told, I'm pretty sure that's true. Texas opened as

995
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 1: a ten point favorite, or thereabouts nine and a half

996
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 1: or ten. That's what it looks like as for Texas Tech.

997
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 1: Since pretty much every game in the Big Twelve now

998
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 1: has Big Twelve Championship implications, I'm gonna say that Texas

999
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:54,720
Speaker 1: Tech at Kansas State has Big Twelve championship implications. Kansas

1000
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 1: State opens as an eight point favorite. I cannot stress

1001
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 1: enough to you. If you have not watched this conference,

1002
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 1: think about it already. We haven't even talked to Oklahoma yet,

1003
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 1: we're about to. You got Oklahoma already with a loss.

1004
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 1: Texas got a loss. Now in conference play, Texas Tech,

1005
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:16,240
Speaker 1: Kansas State is there, the Iowa States there, Baylor, Oklahoma State,

1006
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 1: Kansas Everybody is a player, is the point. There is

1007
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 1: no team. There's not a single team in the Big

1008
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 1: Twelve that you have counted out yet. It is a team.

1009
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:29,439
Speaker 1: It's a league where every team's got a shot. Right now,

1010
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 1: Western Virginia all of a sudden feels good. A TCU

1011
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:34,920
Speaker 1: kind of anonymous out there right now, I'm about to

1012
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 1: talk about Kansas State. What a time it may be

1013
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 1: that the champions up having two losses. What a conference,

1014
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 1: What an entertaining product to watch this year. Let's stay

1015
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:46,399
Speaker 1: out there. This is one I got asked about a lot.

1016
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 1: This was tough, but it's something we have to talk about.

1017
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:57,439
Speaker 1: Kansas State upset Oklahoma again forty one to thirty four.

1018
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 1: Adrian Martinez reminds me so much of that little puppy

1019
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 1: in Dante's Peak. The Pierce Brosnan Volcano Thriller of the nineties.

1020
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:10,080
Speaker 1: There were a couple of great volcano thrillers in the

1021
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,880
Speaker 1: late nineties. It was Tommy Lee Jones versus Pierce Brosnan.

1022
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 1: Sounds like your mom's you know what, I'm gonna stop there,

1023
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 1: very disciplined by me to stop there. But in that movie,

1024
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:24,279
Speaker 1: the volcano is erupting and Pierce Brosnan they're trying to

1025
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:26,240
Speaker 1: high tail it out of there, and the little puppy's

1026
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 1: been left behind, and so he's running down the hill.

1027
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:30,360
Speaker 1: They got one shot at it, and he's got to

1028
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:32,720
Speaker 1: jump in the window right at the exact right time.

1029
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: That is Adrian Martinez getting out of Nebraska. I mean,

1030
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:39,719
Speaker 1: what a story in retrospect, and I discounted it a

1031
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 1: little bit. I didn't know he was gonna be this

1032
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 1: good at Kansas State. Boy was I wrong? Boy? Did

1033
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:48,040
Speaker 1: I underestimate how horrific the situation was for him in Lincoln, Nebraska.

1034
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 1: Good for Adrian Martinez. Yesterday he had himself a day

1035
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 1: twenty one to thirty four. He threw for two thirty four,

1036
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 1: he ran for one forty eight. Just that's play. That's

1037
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 1: pay state material. I cannot believe we're saying in it.

1038
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 1: That is paid state material by Adrian Martinez had five

1039
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:08,839
Speaker 1: total touchdowns that he accounted for. This trap, in retrospect,

1040
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:12,240
Speaker 1: feels like it was set the moment Kansas State lost

1041
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 1: to two lane and the moment Oklahoma splattered Nebraska, because

1042
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 1: it presented such a warped image of what this game

1043
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:24,719
Speaker 1: was and could be. And it goes back to what

1044
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 1: Memoi used to tell me all the time. You do

1045
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 1: not get one version of a team all twelve weeks.

1046
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:36,400
Speaker 1: You get twelve unique versions of teams in a given season.

1047
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:39,719
Speaker 1: And the fact of the matter is, especially in a

1048
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 1: sport where the ball is shaped like it is and

1049
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:45,759
Speaker 1: they score in threes and sevens, not ones, you can

1050
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:49,360
Speaker 1: get radically different results week to week, especially when you

1051
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:54,400
Speaker 1: need that many people to act in unison. And the

1052
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:56,480
Speaker 1: fact of the matter, which I've said twice now in

1053
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 1: the past minute, is Kansas State wasn't the team they

1054
00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:01,279
Speaker 1: were last week, nor was oklahol which is why we

1055
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:04,360
Speaker 1: play all twelve of them. They put odds on this stuff.

1056
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 1: Oklahoma was about a twelve or a half thirteen some

1057
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:10,439
Speaker 1: odd point favorite. They lost outright, That's why we play them.

1058
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 1: Here's a simple but overlooked truth. Because I know there's

1059
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 1: a lot of second guessing after your team loses a game,

1060
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 1: and that's fine. There are coaches getting their first shot

1061
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 1: as being a head coach at major programs these days.

1062
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 1: Kirby Ryan Day, Lincoln Riley, and now Brent Vinables gets

1063
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 1: his first shot to be a head coach and it's Oklahoma.

1064
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:40,920
Speaker 1: That is a really big deal. Well, there is no

1065
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 1: shortcut to gaining experience. You've got to go through it

1066
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 1: to gain it. And I'm going to say it a

1067
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:49,440
Speaker 1: third time. Why not. The fact of the matter is

1068
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:52,640
Speaker 1: Chris Kleiman has about a decade worth of head coaching

1069
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 1: experience under his belt and Brent Vinibles has about three

1070
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:58,480
Speaker 1: or four weeks of it under his belt. It is

1071
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:01,719
Speaker 1: not a shot or shoul be a shock when you

1072
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 1: get worked as a coaching staff. It should not shock

1073
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:08,919
Speaker 1: you because you're a brand new staff and theirs isn't. Now.

1074
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 1: What the hope is is you've got enough baked in

1075
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 1: edges institutionally because you're Oklahoma and they're Kansas State, that

1076
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:19,239
Speaker 1: you can overcome all that. But sometimes those edges aren't

1077
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 1: enough to make up for the simple fact that they

1078
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 1: got the experience and you don't, and they can outplay you,

1079
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 1: they can out coach you, they can outscheme you. That's

1080
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:29,400
Speaker 1: just the way it happens. And that's not the last

1081
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 1: time it'll probably happen. There'll be games coming up where

1082
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 1: Oklahoma gets out coached and they still win because they

1083
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:37,560
Speaker 1: have some more intrinsic advantages over the opposition. But it

1084
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 1: wasn't enough yesterday, and Brent Venables readily acknowledged that in

1085
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:44,439
Speaker 1: the postgame. It's not a panic thing. It's not time

1086
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 1: to rethink anything. It just is. If your goal, if

1087
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:53,760
Speaker 1: your expectation was undefeated national championship, that is your fault.

1088
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 1: You can have that to root for, but that's not

1089
00:54:56,840 --> 00:55:00,400
Speaker 1: realistic for Oklahoma this year. That never was real stick

1090
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 1: And by the way, this is not a disaster. They

1091
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:05,879
Speaker 1: still have everything to play for. Look at the rest

1092
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:07,919
Speaker 1: of their schedule. I'm gonna read you the games they're

1093
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:11,720
Speaker 1: about to play TCU, Texas Kansas, Iowa State, Baylor, West Virginia,

1094
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:15,319
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State, Texas Tech. There's no insurmountable hurdle there. In fact,

1095
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 1: they'll probably be favored in almost, if not all, of

1096
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 1: those games. They can still accomplish everything they need to.

1097
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 1: If anything, maybe this was a wake up call for

1098
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:25,719
Speaker 1: the program. But the Big twelve, let me reiterate, is

1099
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 1: wide open, wide open. Texas Tech at Iowa State, at TCU,

1100
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 1: at Kansas State. Those are the next four games, I think.

1101
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 1: And well it's the next four games for Kansas State.

1102
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:43,800
Speaker 1: So or oh, all right, so I butchered that. Kansas

1103
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 1: State's next four games Texas Tech at Iowa State, at TCU,

1104
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:49,839
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State. All of those are competitive. All of those

1105
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 1: are going to be really good for Oklahoma though. They

1106
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:53,840
Speaker 1: got to go on the road this week to TCU,

1107
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 1: and that's the last game before the Red River shootout

1108
00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:00,479
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks. So lick the wounds, watch

1109
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:04,120
Speaker 1: the film, get over it. But it's just to me.

1110
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 1: I wasn't shocked by the result. We teened it up

1111
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:09,360
Speaker 1: last week, and I'm not saying I picked it or anything.

1112
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:12,240
Speaker 1: I wasn't shocked by the result. These sorts of things

1113
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 1: just happen sometimes. Thank you so much for watching. We're

1114
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 1: not done, but make sure that you like the video

1115
00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 1: if you haven't already. Are we almost at two thousand?

1116
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:22,480
Speaker 1: We're almost a two thousand? How about that. I got

1117
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:24,359
Speaker 1: a lot of games here to talk about, and I'm

1118
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 1: not gonna go five minutes on all these. But if

1119
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 1: you thought I wasn't gonna talk about Auburn, if you

1120
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 1: thought I wasn't gonna talk about Kansas, if you thought

1121
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 1: I was gonna watch Michigan get pushed and not talk

1122
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:35,280
Speaker 1: about it, if you thought I was gonna watch usc

1123
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:38,239
Speaker 1: B plus four and turnover again and not talk about it,

1124
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 1: you were wrong, because we're about to talk about all

1125
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 1: of it. But do we have the rights Colin? Did

1126
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:48,240
Speaker 1: we ever get the licensing rights to Sarah McLaughlin's music catalog?

1127
00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:52,239
Speaker 1: We did not get. Okay, still in discussion, so we

1128
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 1: can't use the Sarah McLaughlin arms of an Angel SOUNDBD

1129
00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 1: for the game. But I want you to imagine the

1130
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:03,200
Speaker 1: soft piano coming in. You see it in the pet

1131
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: abuse commercials all the time. I want to use it.

1132
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:09,239
Speaker 1: I want to multipurpose that. We're talking about Michigan State

1133
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 1: football right now. It was a Sarah McLaughlin special yesterday

1134
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 1: again because they got outclassed again. Very bad look for

1135
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 1: mel Tucker and company. Can't sugarcoat it. They've gotten out

1136
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:25,919
Speaker 1: everything out athlete it, outplayed out, physical, out coached, out

1137
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 1: schemed whatever. They get out all of it against Washington.

1138
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:33,600
Speaker 1: They get out all of it again yesterday against Minnesota.

1139
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:35,480
Speaker 1: And I don't want to take anything away from Minnesota

1140
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 1: because that looks like a really good team right now.

1141
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 1: But I think the biggest takeaway from this game is

1142
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 1: there are big problems at Michigan State. I mean, they

1143
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 1: ran forty five plays the entire game. They had thirty

1144
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 1: eight yards rushing. They cannot run the ball to save

1145
00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 1: their lives. They were minus two in the turnover battle.

1146
00:57:56,880 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 1: And conversely, look at PJ. Fleck in Minnesota. They were

1147
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 1: ten of twelve on third down. They went twenty three

1148
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 1: of twenty six for passing yesterday for passing. That sounds

1149
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 1: like a rookie way of describing them. They played about

1150
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 1: as flawless a game as you could play. There were

1151
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 1: some questions, including with me, of Okay, they've looked good

1152
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:20,240
Speaker 1: so far against nobody, how are they gonna look on

1153
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 1: the road better than they have so far. So that's

1154
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 1: a player that is the favorite to win that division

1155
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:28,920
Speaker 1: right now. As far as I'm concerned, Minnesota at Penn

1156
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 1: State in a few weeks and a few weeks, I

1157
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:34,240
Speaker 1: don't want to look ahead, but I'm going to look ahead. Previously,

1158
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:39,240
Speaker 1: that game had been given the white out designation, and

1159
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 1: the big talking point in the summer was how come

1160
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 1: we're making the Ohio State game a noon game because

1161
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:48,720
Speaker 1: we want that to be the white out? Why are

1162
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:50,800
Speaker 1: we going to wide out Minnesota? That's a game that

1163
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:52,960
Speaker 1: we should be able to win pretty convincingly. Now it

1164
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:54,480
Speaker 1: could be one of the premier games in the Big

1165
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:57,320
Speaker 1: Ten this year. So somebody knew what they were doing

1166
00:58:57,320 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 1: all along. In State College Auburn, I don't know what

1167
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 1: to say. You know, this company allegedly pays me to

1168
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:09,000
Speaker 1: talk about this sport, but I don't know what to say.

1169
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:11,360
Speaker 1: I got a couple of games I'm gonna describe this way.

1170
00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 1: Hold on, let me re energize myself Auburn won a

1171
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:23,920
Speaker 1: game yesterday somehow, seventeen to fourteen. There was there was

1172
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:29,560
Speaker 1: just inexplicable clock in game management by Eli Drinkwitz and

1173
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 1: Missouri that led to this game going to overtime that

1174
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:36,280
Speaker 1: I don't even want. I don't want to yell, and

1175
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 1: I want to throw stuff, so I'm not really going

1176
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:41,400
Speaker 1: to get into that. But once the game got to overtime,

1177
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:44,400
Speaker 1: Auburn ended up winning the game. How oh, we'll walk

1178
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:46,520
Speaker 1: off touch back? Is this the play? Yell, let's watch

1179
00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:49,880
Speaker 1: it again together. And Missouri, well, no, they don't win. Nevermind,

1180
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:56,280
Speaker 1: there's a touchback game over, Auburn wins. This the way

1181
00:59:56,320 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 1: this game works is crazy. So Bruce Feldman, before game's

1182
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:05,360
Speaker 1: kicked off yesterday, he's on Fox Big Noon kickoff, and

1183
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:08,840
Speaker 1: he's on their pregame show, and he reports that he's

1184
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 1: been told if Auburn loses today, Brian Harson's going to

1185
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:16,360
Speaker 1: be fired. I can't even begin to describe how stupid

1186
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:18,600
Speaker 1: this is. Not Felman. Felman's right if he said it.

1187
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 1: He's as plugged in as anyone in the sport. So

1188
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 1: I don't doubt that that was the case. You understand

1189
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:30,240
Speaker 1: how stupid that is to put yourself in that predicament

1190
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:35,000
Speaker 1: or position number one. This is not Remember the Titans. Okay,

1191
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 1: this is not a movie. It's real life. You don't

1192
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:40,040
Speaker 1: meet some guy behind the bleachers before kickoff and say,

1193
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:42,960
Speaker 1: if you lose a game, they're gonna fire you. If

1194
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 1: you already know that, you don't need to have anything

1195
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:48,800
Speaker 1: proven to you, if you already know Brian Harson's not

1196
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:51,400
Speaker 1: the right guy for the job, And you don't care

1197
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 1: about painting this buyout because there's no incentive to wait, Well,

1198
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 1: what are you putting a clause in there? What do

1199
01:00:57,040 --> 01:01:00,240
Speaker 1: you put a caveat in there for? What are you saying, well,

1200
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 1: let's see how the Missouri game plays out for like

1201
01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:04,680
Speaker 1: you're going to learn anything about him that changes your

1202
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:09,080
Speaker 1: mind that day? Well, guess what they ended up winning yesterday.

1203
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:12,600
Speaker 1: Did it inspire any confidence in you the way Auburn won?

1204
01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:15,040
Speaker 1: Of course it didn't. Is he any different a coach?

1205
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:18,280
Speaker 1: Of course he's not. But I always love when people

1206
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 1: are ignorant enough to do this, because now here's what

1207
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:23,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do. LSU fans, close your ears for a second,

1208
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 1: just for the sake of shoving it in people's faces.

1209
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:29,840
Speaker 1: Down there, certain people. I'd love for him to win

1210
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 1: another game like you did yesterday. I'd love for him

1211
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:36,440
Speaker 1: to just string a bunch of improbable wins together to

1212
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:39,680
Speaker 1: force the issue, because if that's really the case, we're

1213
01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 1: waiting for him to lose a game. You know what,

1214
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:44,360
Speaker 1: you leave yourself open to. You leave yourself open to

1215
01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:48,000
Speaker 1: stuff like yesterday happening, where you get an outcome that's

1216
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 1: one in a million, which, by the way, happens at

1217
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:53,520
Speaker 1: Auburn way more frequently than every million games. You get

1218
01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:56,040
Speaker 1: an outcome like that. Okay, so you thought you had

1219
01:01:56,080 --> 01:01:58,720
Speaker 1: it figured out and then oops, they messed around and

1220
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:01,600
Speaker 1: won it. Oh, it's okay, we'll just fire him next week.

1221
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 1: How do you know you're gonna get the result you

1222
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:05,480
Speaker 1: think you are next week? What if LSU were to

1223
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:07,600
Speaker 1: have quarterback injuries in the first quarter and all of

1224
01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:10,440
Speaker 1: a sudden you win a slog fest thirteen to eleven

1225
01:02:10,560 --> 01:02:12,960
Speaker 1: or something like that. Well do you just keep waiting now,

1226
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:16,120
Speaker 1: you know, like I do. Eventually you've got Georgia on

1227
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:18,520
Speaker 1: the schedule. Eventually you've got Bama and A and M

1228
01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:21,439
Speaker 1: so eventually it'll take care of itself. Yeah, you're probably right.

1229
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:26,280
Speaker 1: I want you to remind yourself though, on the surface,

1230
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:30,960
Speaker 1: as a matter of principle, if those people that are

1231
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:34,520
Speaker 1: making this decision really are dumb enough to tie a

1232
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:38,480
Speaker 1: singular result to the decision, those are the same people

1233
01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:40,200
Speaker 1: that are gonna make the decision as to who's gonna

1234
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:42,480
Speaker 1: be your next head coach. Does that sound like a

1235
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:45,040
Speaker 1: train of thought? Does that sound like a strategy? Does

1236
01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:48,000
Speaker 1: that sound like a collective group think that you trust

1237
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:51,280
Speaker 1: to be attached to deciding who's gonna lead your program?

1238
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:54,000
Speaker 1: My answer would be no. But that's why we don't

1239
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 1: do it that way. It Paid State next up a

1240
01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:59,200
Speaker 1: game that was off your radar yesterday, but I paid

1241
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:03,200
Speaker 1: attention to it. Florida State won convincingly again. They beat

1242
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:06,440
Speaker 1: Boston College forty four to fourteen. They were favored by

1243
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:09,240
Speaker 1: that spread went up by kickoff, but it was somewhere

1244
01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 1: between the seventeen and twenty point range. They played Louisville

1245
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:18,200
Speaker 1: last week and they beat him. Jordan Travis went down

1246
01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:20,600
Speaker 1: in the game, the quarterback, and he was out for

1247
01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 1: the rest of the game. It looked like he seized

1248
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 1: was over. And if you were to be able to

1249
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:28,320
Speaker 1: hit the fast forward button and see that a week later,

1250
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 1: he's not even going to miss a game. A week later,

1251
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:33,480
Speaker 1: he's going to be playing against Boston College and he's

1252
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:35,400
Speaker 1: going to be going sixteen for twenty six, three hundred

1253
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:38,480
Speaker 1: and twenty one yards. You would have said, who do

1254
01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 1: I pray to? Let's get this, let's get this done. Well,

1255
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:44,959
Speaker 1: that's what God happened. That's what happened. He just wasn't

1256
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:47,400
Speaker 1: hurt as bad as it looked. And Florida State is

1257
01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:50,439
Speaker 1: a rapidly improving team right now. They led thirty one

1258
01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:54,240
Speaker 1: to nothing, they didn't allow Boston College to cross midfield

1259
01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:58,200
Speaker 1: until after the half, and now they got Wake Forest

1260
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:02,040
Speaker 1: coming in town. Florida State's a team to watch. This

1261
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:04,760
Speaker 1: is not the SEC, this is not the Big Ten.

1262
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 1: There is not an Ohio State out there. There's not

1263
01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 1: a Bama or a Georgia out there. This is anybody's

1264
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 1: conference right now, and believe it or not, that includes

1265
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:17,320
Speaker 1: Florida State. It is a shame right now that the

1266
01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:19,720
Speaker 1: division setup is not like the Pac twelve where you

1267
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:25,240
Speaker 1: just take the two best teams. I would take one, two, three, four.

1268
01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:28,800
Speaker 1: There may be four or five teams in the Coastal

1269
01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:31,240
Speaker 1: that I think would be better than anyone in the Atlantic.

1270
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:34,880
Speaker 1: But that's the way division play works. Sorry to say

1271
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:38,240
Speaker 1: Kansas gotten the job done against Duke yesterday thirty five

1272
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 1: to twenty seven. Jalen Daniels. Did you watch him? Finally?

1273
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:43,880
Speaker 1: Did you see him? That quarterback for Kansas four hundred

1274
01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:47,040
Speaker 1: and twenty seven yards, He accounted for five touchdowns. And

1275
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:50,280
Speaker 1: here's the crazy part. If you were to go to

1276
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:52,040
Speaker 1: these head coaches. If you were to go to Elko

1277
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:55,400
Speaker 1: and Lance Leopold Friday, and you told Leopold he was

1278
01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:57,720
Speaker 1: gonna get that day out of Jalen Daniels, he would say,

1279
01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:00,440
Speaker 1: slam dunk, We're gonna win. We were to go to

1280
01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:02,800
Speaker 1: Mike Elcho and say, hey, Riley Leonard's gonna throw for

1281
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:06,400
Speaker 1: three seventy nine. He won't turn the ball over. Elko

1282
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:09,680
Speaker 1: would say, we're about to pull the upset. That's done.

1283
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:12,600
Speaker 1: If he has that kind of day, we're not losing. Well,

1284
01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:14,880
Speaker 1: someone had to lose because both of those quarterbacks had

1285
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:19,080
Speaker 1: that day. I think that Kansas it's got to be

1286
01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:21,400
Speaker 1: considered a real threat in the Big twelve. Just like

1287
01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:24,640
Speaker 1: I said about the acc the Big twelves wide open,

1288
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:27,280
Speaker 1: and you got to at this point, you've got to

1289
01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:29,720
Speaker 1: take what you thought in the preseason you just gotta

1290
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:33,040
Speaker 1: wad it up. That is not who Kansas is. They

1291
01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:36,200
Speaker 1: are a good team. They're good enough to compete with

1292
01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:39,040
Speaker 1: folks in the Big Twelve. That's what I'm saying. Are

1293
01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:41,480
Speaker 1: they my upset pick to win the thing? Yet? No

1294
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:44,880
Speaker 1: they're not. But all of a sudden, everyone's looking at

1295
01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:47,720
Speaker 1: that game on their schedule now and it feels different.

1296
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:51,440
Speaker 1: The Kansas game in the Big Twelve was the equivalent

1297
01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:54,760
Speaker 1: of the Vanderbilt game in the SEC. Everyone circled it.

1298
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:57,880
Speaker 1: We got our FCS opponents, we got our bye week. Also,

1299
01:05:57,880 --> 01:05:59,760
Speaker 1: what do we have Kansas. That's not the way it

1300
01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:02,480
Speaker 1: works anymore. Iowa State goes in there this week, they're

1301
01:06:02,480 --> 01:06:05,800
Speaker 1: favored by three. Every one of them has to play

1302
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:08,640
Speaker 1: Kansas eventually. No one's looking forward to that anymore. So

1303
01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:11,680
Speaker 1: good for Kansas. They've already hit the over. They're four

1304
01:06:11,720 --> 01:06:14,200
Speaker 1: to zero, and now they're just adding on. Now they're

1305
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:17,560
Speaker 1: going for bowl. They're going to be a bowl team.

1306
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:19,480
Speaker 1: And if you think about that, they're probably going to

1307
01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:22,560
Speaker 1: be a Bowl team. Good for Kansas. Man Michigan got

1308
01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:25,560
Speaker 1: by Maryland thirty four to twenty seven, and I watched

1309
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:28,160
Speaker 1: a fair amount of this game. Turns out they needed

1310
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:30,920
Speaker 1: Blake korhum yesterday and they needed in big time, and

1311
01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:33,400
Speaker 1: he came through. This has got to be a career

1312
01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:36,040
Speaker 1: high for him. Thirty carries, two hundred and forty three yards,

1313
01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:40,560
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. Pass rush was not there for Michigan. That's

1314
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:45,280
Speaker 1: a concern moving forward. JJ McCarthy did not look like

1315
01:06:45,320 --> 01:06:48,720
Speaker 1: a video game character yesterday. Finally, I'm not going to

1316
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:50,600
Speaker 1: go as far as say that's a concern. That's just

1317
01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:54,080
Speaker 1: a coming down to earth because they played garbage competition

1318
01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:57,240
Speaker 1: so far, all due respect, but a lot of what

1319
01:06:57,280 --> 01:06:59,160
Speaker 1: you saw yesterday I think is probably going to be

1320
01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:02,600
Speaker 1: good for Michigan. They needed a palette cleanser a little bit.

1321
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:06,880
Speaker 1: And now you recalibrate everything. You made some mistakes, you

1322
01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:10,880
Speaker 1: got pushed, but you won the game. Now you strap

1323
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:13,240
Speaker 1: in and it's time to go and finish big ten

1324
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:16,680
Speaker 1: play and they play Iowa this week, and Michigan's favored

1325
01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:19,560
Speaker 1: by about ten or ten and a half. And some

1326
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:22,440
Speaker 1: people in the building think that number's too low. We'll

1327
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:24,160
Speaker 1: see if I'm one of them just a second. But

1328
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:27,240
Speaker 1: the schedule, it was what it was to begin with.

1329
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:29,480
Speaker 1: I don't care. I'd probably schedule the same way. I'm

1330
01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:31,680
Speaker 1: just saying it was not the biggest shock in the

1331
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:33,960
Speaker 1: world to me, that this was a little bit closer game.

1332
01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:36,439
Speaker 1: Having said that, Michigan wins. Now they go to Iowa

1333
01:07:36,520 --> 01:07:39,880
Speaker 1: this week. First road game USC last night. This was

1334
01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:42,920
Speaker 1: the game I was listening to driving back from Knoxville USC.

1335
01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:46,680
Speaker 1: Going into the game yesterday. They were plus ten turnovers

1336
01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:49,800
Speaker 1: on the season, they led the nation. I don't know

1337
01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:52,280
Speaker 1: what to make of this. I have no clue what

1338
01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:56,080
Speaker 1: to make of this game. Oregon State turned the ball

1339
01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:59,600
Speaker 1: over four times. USC had no turnovers. So USC ends

1340
01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:04,600
Speaker 1: the game plus four turnovers. Had you told me that Friday,

1341
01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:06,919
Speaker 1: it would be the biggest padlock stat in the history

1342
01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:10,160
Speaker 1: of padlock stats. I would lay every dime at my

1343
01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:15,280
Speaker 1: disposal on USC to win and cover because the line

1344
01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:17,360
Speaker 1: was only five and a half or six at kickoff.

1345
01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:21,360
Speaker 1: Oregon State is minus four turnovers and they still covered

1346
01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:24,879
Speaker 1: and nearly won the game. The final was seventeen to fourteen.

1347
01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:28,320
Speaker 1: And I don't even know what to say about that,

1348
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:31,519
Speaker 1: Like USC, Look, you've got to look at that. If

1349
01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:34,559
Speaker 1: you're not USC, if you're just an observer, you got

1350
01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:38,799
Speaker 1: to look at that and say, USC, they that should

1351
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:42,720
Speaker 1: be a blowout win, and yet they still skate by.

1352
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:44,519
Speaker 1: I don't know what to make of it. I don't

1353
01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:46,400
Speaker 1: know if it's a red flag, if it's just a

1354
01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:48,320
Speaker 1: one off. I don't know what it is. This has

1355
01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:50,760
Speaker 1: not been a place that's been particularly kind to them,

1356
01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:52,280
Speaker 1: so maybe you just want to get out of there

1357
01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:54,519
Speaker 1: with a win. I don't know what to make of it.

1358
01:08:54,560 --> 01:08:57,960
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, that's the game USC Oregon State is

1359
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:01,240
Speaker 1: the game. I listened to it. I went back and

1360
01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:03,439
Speaker 1: watched the contensed version today. I don't know what to

1361
01:09:03,439 --> 01:09:06,320
Speaker 1: say about it. I would welcome comments if any of

1362
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:08,040
Speaker 1: you have anything to say about that. I don't know

1363
01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:09,720
Speaker 1: what to say about it. It just it was a

1364
01:09:09,720 --> 01:09:14,080
Speaker 1: result and I acknowledge it, and that's about it. The

1365
01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:17,320
Speaker 1: Romindle Express had a winning day yesterday. If you did

1366
01:09:17,320 --> 01:09:19,640
Speaker 1: not watch Friday Night lines, you did not have a

1367
01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:22,479
Speaker 1: winning day because we tacked on three more Friday Night

1368
01:09:22,520 --> 01:09:24,679
Speaker 1: and they went three and oh, by the way, hats

1369
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:26,720
Speaker 1: off to Arkansas State and Southern miss didn't even need

1370
01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 1: the points just one outright. I am very I am

1371
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:34,240
Speaker 1: extremely confident again this week we are not moving on

1372
01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:36,960
Speaker 1: one game tonight. I got four of them. That we're

1373
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:39,280
Speaker 1: moving on because I don't think I want to wait

1374
01:09:39,320 --> 01:09:42,200
Speaker 1: and see what these numbers do. Here we go. I

1375
01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:44,920
Speaker 1: told you Michigan's going to Iowa this week. The model

1376
01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:48,200
Speaker 1: is all over Iowa, and I boy, I'd be lying

1377
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:50,400
Speaker 1: to you if it didn't make me nervous. But let

1378
01:09:50,400 --> 01:09:52,559
Speaker 1: me tell you something else. The Model was all over

1379
01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:55,719
Speaker 1: Iowa yesterday and I didn't move on it, and they covered.

1380
01:09:56,240 --> 01:09:58,280
Speaker 1: It's had a really good feel for Iowa so far

1381
01:09:58,320 --> 01:10:01,839
Speaker 1: this year. For whatever reason, oh it thinks ten points

1382
01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:04,360
Speaker 1: is more than enough with Iowa. We're gonna take the

1383
01:10:04,360 --> 01:10:08,479
Speaker 1: Hawkeys plus ten. Mississippi State is at home against A

1384
01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:11,760
Speaker 1: and M. The Model loves Mississippi State. This week they're

1385
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:14,840
Speaker 1: lay in two right now, we will take it. Mississippi

1386
01:10:14,840 --> 01:10:20,000
Speaker 1: State minus two. Wake Forest goes to FSU. Model thinks

1387
01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:24,280
Speaker 1: FSU wins by nine points. This week they're lay in five.

1388
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:27,559
Speaker 1: That crosses a bunch of key numbers. Obviously, we are

1389
01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:31,360
Speaker 1: taking FSU minus five. And a team that we've had

1390
01:10:31,400 --> 01:10:34,639
Speaker 1: a great feel for this year is Liberty. And I'll

1391
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:36,040
Speaker 1: tell you another team we've had a good feel on

1392
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:39,320
Speaker 1: his Old Dominion. Liberty plays Old Dominion this week, so

1393
01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:42,120
Speaker 1: I'm ultra confident about this. Liberty's minus two. We think

1394
01:10:42,120 --> 01:10:44,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna win by seven or more. So we're gonna

1395
01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:48,000
Speaker 1: take Iowa plus ten, Mississippi State minus two, FSU minus five,

1396
01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:52,160
Speaker 1: Liberty minus two. Those are the first four games that

1397
01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:57,160
Speaker 1: will be on. I think, based on very early kind

1398
01:10:57,160 --> 01:10:59,639
Speaker 1: of an early glance at what I'm looking at front

1399
01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:02,920
Speaker 1: of me right now, I think we'll be on somewhere

1400
01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:05,680
Speaker 1: between eight and twelve games this week, give or take.

1401
01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:09,439
Speaker 1: So we'll see. But I like the board again. I

1402
01:11:09,479 --> 01:11:11,320
Speaker 1: liked it yesterday. Look, if I could take Michigan State

1403
01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:13,920
Speaker 1: football and get him out of here, we would have

1404
01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:15,960
Speaker 1: had a huge, huge day. As it stands, we still

1405
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:19,000
Speaker 1: had a winning day yesterday. We'll be fine. We are

1406
01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:22,679
Speaker 1: going to not Lexington. We're watching the team from Lexington

1407
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:26,640
Speaker 1: go to Oxford this week, Kentucky versus Old miss That

1408
01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:29,680
Speaker 1: is the week five destination for the Every Given Saturday Tour.

1409
01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:32,800
Speaker 1: I think we got everything out of the way that

1410
01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:35,200
Speaker 1: we needed to get out of the way. Thank you
