1
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: A or welcome in lay Cakes Live.

2
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 2: It is Sunday night, October fourth, Far of Our Lord

3
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 2: twenty twenty. We have got enough material to be honest

4
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 2: with you, to do about three shows tonight, So thank

5
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 2: you so much for watching.

6
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: We're wasting no time. Subscribe to the channel.

7
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,639
Speaker 2: If you haven't already got a lot of people in

8
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 2: the live chat, I expect a lot more to filter

9
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 2: in as the show goes on. It is not a

10
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 2: rep for any college football weekend until we discuss it here.

11
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: We're going Georgia Auburn right off the top.

12
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 2: I'm going to touch on A and M Alabama and

13
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: a couple of different aspects. Tennessee took care of business,

14
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 2: which we didn't think they'd do to the degree they did.

15
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 2: So we're going to give appropriate credit to Tennessee. And

16
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 2: also briefly, ever so briefly look ahead to this upcoming

17
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 2: week Texas, Oklahoma just implosion. We're going to talk about

18
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 2: the Big twelve briefly. Also several other takeaways. I mean,

19
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: we try and go as in depth as we can

20
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 2: on the Sunday Show, but yet we also try to

21
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 2: hit as many things as we can on the Sunday Show. Thus,

22
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 2: the pace of my voice already. So we've got so

23
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: much to get to tonight. That. Plus I've already tweeted

24
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 2: out our best bet, our early best bet on the

25
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 2: Ram and Noodle Express four, Week five or week six,

26
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 2: I guess is what we're headed into. And we'll rehit

27
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,559
Speaker 2: on that. We'll retouch on that before the show's over.

28
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 2: So do not miss a show. We've got so much

29
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 2: going on every single week. We do not waste time.

30
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 2: If we put it on the air, we think it

31
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 2: is worth hearing. So where else would we start. We

32
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 2: got to start with Georgia, Auburn, Auburn, Georgia. Let's say

33
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: the visitor's name first. But yet, my goodness, look, I

34
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 2: have so much on this game. I also have a

35
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: little post it here, and the post it comes from

36
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: Jim in the email inbox about an hour ago. I'm

37
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 2: gonna read that in just a second. Georgia twenty seven

38
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 2: Auburn six. Just a true Sarah McLaughlin special, as we

39
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: used to call it back in my independent days. Those

40
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 2: are those animal abuse commercials where there's soft Sarah McLachlin

41
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: music in the background and you're looking at all these

42
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a sad sight, but trying to get

43
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: you to adopt the animals. Well, there was a Sarah

44
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: McGlaughlin special last night in Athens, Georgia, and Auburn was

45
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 2: the wounded animal.

46
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: There's no other way to put it. So we pull

47
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: no punches here.

48
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: There are several different ways we could go on this,

49
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: but I want you to before you look at this game,

50
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 2: go back with me to the Thursday show or the

51
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 2: Tuesday Show. I was trying to make some sense of

52
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 2: Arkansas Georgia, and I was trying to put it in

53
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: a way where I was asking, would you feel nearly

54
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: as nervous about Georgia if this happened. So what I

55
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 2: came to was, I said, let's keep everything about Georgia

56
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: Arkansas the same way you saw from Stetson Bennett. What

57
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 2: you saw from him, you saw from Dwan Mathis what

58
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,679
Speaker 2: you saw from him. But let's just say we took

59
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: the halves and we reversed him. So Stetson Bennett started

60
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 2: that Arkansas game, did everything he did. Georgia got up big,

61
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 2: and then Dwan Mathis came in and looked terrible.

62
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: Would you feel a lot better?

63
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: I thought the answer was yes, you probably would feel

64
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 2: a lot better because you would have said, Okay, our

65
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: starter did what our starter should do, and that's who's

66
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 2: going to be playing against Auburn, and so we'll be fine.

67
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: We just need to get mathis some work down the road.

68
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: Well, Stetson Bennett started against Auburn, and boy did the

69
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 2: start of this game look a whole lot different than

70
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 2: the start of the Arkansas game. It's a funny thing

71
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 2: that there's a difference in our core audience, you know,

72
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 2: like the folks listening to the show right now are

73
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 2: watching the show right now, versus kind of the drive

74
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 2: by Saturday crowd, which is all about like snapshots and

75
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: sound bites, and they don't really watch the whole video.

76
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 2: So therefore half the time they think you predicted something

77
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 2: other than what you actually predicted. So I had a

78
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 2: lot of people popping in last night for some reason

79
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 2: thinking I predicted Darkansas or Auburn to win the game,

80
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 2: which we did not. We predicted Georgia to win game.

81
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 2: We did think it would be a little bit tighter

82
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: than it was. But some very obvious things to me

83
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 2: in this game last night. So let's just dive into

84
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: it together. I'm sure that you guys have a lot

85
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: of opinions on this. I'm just gonna tell you what

86
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 2: I watched. I sat right over here across the way,

87
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 2: and I watched it in our studio here. Auburn probably

88
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 2: in this game appeared to be more physically outmatched than

89
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: any big game or game period that I remember watching

90
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 2: them in since Gus Malson got there, and they've played

91
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 2: some good teams, they've played some loaded teams. I don't

92
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 2: ever remember it looking like a car wreck every forty

93
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 2: or forty five seconds like it did last night. Kirby

94
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 2: Smart handled the quarterback situation exactly as we expected him to.

95
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: There was a lot of bluster early in the week.

96
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.

97
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: JT.

98
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 2: Daniels has been cleared. We did not expect him to

99
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: be a factor in this game. We did, not, for

100
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 2: that matter, expect Dwan Mathis to be much of a

101
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,559
Speaker 2: factor in the game. We expected Stetson Bennett to start,

102
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 2: and we listed the reasons why. I don't really think

103
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 2: that that was kind of running circles around anyone else. Intellectually,

104
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 2: I think most people around Georgia understood that's the way

105
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 2: it was going to go. So he handled it the

106
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 2: way we thought he would. But here's what at least

107
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 2: I didn't think we'd see. I did not think we'd

108
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 2: see Georgia have an edgic quarterback in this game.

109
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: And we did.

110
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 2: And I'm going to get back to that in just

111
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: a second, because it is a problem. It's a really

112
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 2: good thing for Georgia. It is a problem for Auburn

113
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 2: that extends far beyond just well, bo Nicks faced a

114
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 2: really tough defense last night. This hit and a Georgia thing.

115
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 2: This is an Auburn thing. So I'm going to talk

116
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 2: about that in greater detail in just a second. This

117
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 2: defense is on a different level for Georgia. Now, this

118
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 2: defense on a different level than one that you've seen

119
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 2: for Georgia. But I'll be honest, it's still early in

120
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 2: the season, so let me hesitate.

121
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:07,679
Speaker 1: Let me just throw this out there.

122
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 2: It may be that you're looking at one of the

123
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 2: best defenses in modern college football.

124
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: That's a mouthful, But the reason I say it is this.

125
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 2: I want you to think about a player, and it's

126
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 2: not a guy who's a household name. His name is

127
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 2: Adam Anderson. Adam Anderson's a former five star outside linebacker

128
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 2: edge rusher type and he's not a guy that you

129
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 2: would consider a starter. He's not a guy who plays

130
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 2: sixty or sixty five snaps a game, But he's a

131
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 2: perfect representation of what Kirby Smart's built and the defense

132
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 2: that they've built there. When you go through the schedule

133
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 2: that you're going to go through in the SEC, you

134
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 2: got to face a team like this week in Tennessee,

135
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 2: which is content to run the ball at like a

136
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 2: ninety ten ratio and just pound on you all day.

137
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 2: But then you're also going to face a team like

138
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 2: Alabama or like Florida who could slice you up through

139
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 2: the air, and you got to be able to affect

140
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 2: the quarterback. And the point is most teams have to

141
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 2: settle for building their defense in one kind of way.

142
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 2: Georgia has built their defense where they have so many

143
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 2: subpackages and so many personnel options that they're able to

144
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 2: defend everything. They're able to put a product on the

145
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 2: field defensively, where one guy may play thirty five snaps

146
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 2: one week and you don't.

147
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: Even see him the next two weeks.

148
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 2: That's the kind of defense they had in Smart's latter

149
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 2: years at Alabama, and that's the kind of defense that

150
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 2: he's finally built there. They are so versatile, They have

151
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 2: so many different weapons, and some of them you don't

152
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 2: even know the names of. And it's just there are

153
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 2: specialty situations where maybe that's their week to shine. Adam

154
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: Anderson had I think the best game he's had at

155
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 2: Georgia so far last night. They are able to morph

156
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 2: power ranger style. Targeting rules are not good in this game.

157
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 2: Targeting rules are not good in the sport.

158
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: Right now.

159
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 2: They updated them, it's time to overhaul them again because

160
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 2: the spirit of that rule does not allow for the

161
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 2: game to be played in some cases the way it

162
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 2: is supposed to be played. There is no one who's

163
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 2: a bigger proponent of player safety than I am. But

164
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 2: you had two premier safeties in this game last night

165
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 2: ejected in the first half who had no business being ejected.

166
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: From the football game. We'll probably talk about that more

167
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: this week.

168
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 2: You know, as much as we talked about the Auburn

169
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: offensive line, we had an equal focus on the Georgia

170
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 2: offensive line the run game in general, because that was

171
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 2: what was so alarming to us, is the run game.

172
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 2: In Week one, sputtered to the tune of less than

173
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 2: three yards per carry and they shined last night. There

174
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 2: was no unit I saw across college football yesterday that

175
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 2: validated themselves better than the Georgia offensive line and the

176
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 2: running back stable there. So just the Georgia run game

177
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 2: in general, and they didn't have a quarterback back there

178
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 2: the likes of you know, Joe Burrow, where the defense

179
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 2: is constantly worried about him. Everyone knew what Georgia was

180
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 2: going to do, and hey, they still couldn't stop it.

181
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 2: So I mean, like I said, it was a car

182
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: crash every forty seconds.

183
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: If you go back and watch the replay I watched.

184
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: Who was it?

185
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: It was Brigham Young versus Navy a couple of weeks ago,

186
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 2: when Navy had not tackled at all in practice and

187
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 2: so Byu faced him. I've never seen domination at the

188
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage like that in major college football, and

189
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 2: I'm not going to say last night was quite to

190
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 2: that degree.

191
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:06,239
Speaker 1: But it was rough.

192
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 2: It was one of those situations where sometimes you watch

193
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 2: a team get an early lead and you say, all right,

194
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 2: well things will balance out. But when they're getting an

195
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 2: early lead by just picking you up and then placing

196
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 2: you three yards behind where you started, you're not fixing that.

197
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: I mean, what was Auburn going to do? They're not

198
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: fixing that.

199
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: So for all the heat that we thought Kirby Smart

200
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 2: may face if he allowed Auburn to come in there

201
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 2: and lose, which he would have, I don't think anyone

202
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: spent a whole lot of time talking about what it

203
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 2: would be like for Gus Malzan, mainly because I think

204
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 2: most people expected a close game either way. And I'll

205
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 2: be honest, I was among those people. I got to

206
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 2: give a hat tip to Rusty Manziel. Rusty called twenty

207
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 2: to six on this game. I believe twenty seven to

208
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 2: six was the final. I talked to him early in

209
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 2: the week. He was adamant.

210
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: Man. He was adamant about a few things I saw.

211
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 2: He shared his thoughts over on Dogs twenty four to

212
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 2: seven earlier today. That guy, at least for this week,

213
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 2: very prophetic because it's almost like he has sources inside

214
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 2: the program because everything he said would happen happen. So

215
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 2: for all the heat, like I was saying that Kirby

216
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 2: Smart was gonna take and everyone thought this and that

217
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 2: say this out loud with me, think about this, Think

218
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 2: about the fact that Auburn hasn't won in Athens since,

219
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 2: as they say, Moses was in short pants, and they

220
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 2: still haven't. And I want you to think, if you're

221
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 2: not an Auburn fan, just kind of put yourself in

222
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: their shoes for a second. I want you to start

223
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 2: saying this out loud. They had not gotten it done

224
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 2: up there.

225
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: Obviously.

226
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 2: This was a year where since it's COVID, you know

227
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 2: you don't have the true home field advantage that you

228
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 2: normally would. Also, Georgia is using not their first, second,

229
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 2: or third, but a guy who was running fourth string

230
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 2: at quarterback as recently as a month and a half ago.

231
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 2: And you've got a returning starter in bo Nicks. You

232
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 2: have things in front of you, everything's laid out, and

233
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 2: you still go in there and you just you don't

234
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 2: get beat, You get embarrassed, you get dismantled. That's far

235
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 2: more demoralizing than going back and forth, back and forth.

236
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 2: And Georgia kicks a game winning field goal. They went

237
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 2: twenty six to twenty four. His time expires. If you

238
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 2: watched that last night, even though the opening or closing

239
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 2: line for this game was around a touchdown, you got

240
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 2: the sense that ten times out of ten, if they

241
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 2: played that game, it ends the same way or maybe

242
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 2: even worse for Georgia. And so that takes me back

243
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 2: to what I said last night. I don't do a

244
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 2: whole lot of the hot take stuff, and I don't

245
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 2: even figure what I'm about to say to be a

246
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 2: hot take.

247
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: I just thought it was reality.

248
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 2: I did not expect, like I told you, Georgia to

249
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 2: have an edgit quarterback, but they did.

250
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 1: It's not apples to apples.

251
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 2: I know bo Nicks had to face a defense the

252
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 2: likes of which Stetson Bennett didn't have to face.

253
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: But here's the point I said last night.

254
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 2: I think Stetson Bennett is a better quarterback than Bo

255
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 2: Nicks is right now. So a lot of people took

256
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 2: that to me, and I thought he had better tools

257
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 2: than bow Nicks, and a lot of people took it

258
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 2: to me. Well, you know, Stetson Bennett didn't have to

259
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 2: play Georgia's defense. I took all that into consideration. What

260
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 2: I'm going to ask you simply is this. I got

261
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 2: some names here, I wrote now sorry Buddies' college football

262
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 2: nerds tweeted this out earlier today and it was a

263
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 2: list of names, and this is a very, very tired point,

264
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 2: but we got to keep making it for Auburn. Zeke Pike,

265
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 2: Jeremy Johnson, Sean White, now Bo Nicks. The next quarterback

266
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 2: that this program recruits and develops in house at a

267
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 2: successful rate will be the first under Gus Malson. Still

268
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: haven't done it. So you're watching the game last night

269
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 2: and you're watching Bo Knicks, and Bo Nicks exists within

270
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 2: the Auburn offense, Stetson Bennett exists within the Georgia offense?

271
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 2: Which guy looked more poised? But also which guy operated

272
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 2: with more a sense of himself being a part of

273
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 2: an offense, playing a specific role in an offense. In

274
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 2: other words, I'm asking you which one looked like they

275
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 2: had an established identity. And the answer is not the

276
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 2: guy who's a returning quarterback in an offense that has

277
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 2: a lot of carryover.

278
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: The answer is the.

279
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 2: Dude who they told a month ago they didn't really

280
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 2: think they had a spot for a quarterback. I don't

281
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 2: know if you watched the broadcast last night, but Chris

282
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 2: Fowler threw that little tibbitt in there. Todd Monkin and

283
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 2: company told him we don't really think your quarterback here

284
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 2: and a month later he's operating just fine.

285
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 1: That's an offense. That's what that's called. That's called a system.

286
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 1: It's called an offense that had had it very long

287
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: At Georgia.

288
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 2: It's a new system, and yet they already have it

289
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 2: established much better than Auburn did. And if you're gonna

290
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 2: look at me and you're gonna say, oh, well, you know,

291
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 2: Auburn's got an offense, but it's just Georgia. You know,

292
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 2: no one's gonna score much on that defensive Georgia's You're right.

293
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 2: They didn't play Georgia last week, did they. They're not

294
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 2: gonna play him this week. Why do I get the

295
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 2: sneaking suspicion in the back of my mind that they're

296
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 2: gonna look pretty discombobulated again this Saturday and we're gonna

297
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 2: they're gonna play Arkansas, they're favored by seventeen points. But yet,

298
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 2: why do I get the feeling we're gonna come out

299
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 2: of this Saturday just like you did coming out of

300
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 2: the Kentucky game, and you're gonna say, you know, I

301
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 2: still don't really know discernibly what the identity of this

302
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 2: team is. That's a big problem. That's a big problem

303
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 2: moving forward. So what do you think about Stetson Bennett?

304
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: Now?

305
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 2: If I was asked that one time, I was asked

306
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 2: that five hundred times last night, what do I think

307
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 2: about Stetson Bennett? And I've come to the conclusion. I

308
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 2: can come to no other conclusion. I simply believe a

309
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 2: lot of people either heard through word of mouth what

310
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 2: was said on this show last week and they heard

311
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 2: an erroneous version of it, or you just didn't watch

312
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: the whole show, or you just watched little bits and

313
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 2: pieces because you would think that I trash this kid,

314
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 2: and I didn't. So let me one more time clearly stated,

315
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 2: because the answer is my opinion is unchanged. I think

316
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 2: the same thing about Stetson Bennett today as I did

317
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 2: Thursday afternoon. So I can be very happy for him,

318
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 2: and I am. I'm ecstatic for him. It was ultra

319
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 2: impressive what he did last night. Poison accuracy are very

320
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 2: important things, and he possessed both of them in his

321
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,839
Speaker 2: first career start. And that's not a small deal. That's

322
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 2: a really big deal. Because this down defensively as Auburn

323
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 2: may be, there's still a pretty good defense. So don't

324
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 2: get me wrong on that it's a great story. He

325
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 2: managed the game excellent, He did everything that they would

326
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 2: ask him to do. The point I've made and I

327
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 2: will continue to make, and I think Kirby Smart in

328
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 2: his post game remarks kind of intimated the same thing is,

329
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 2: there is going to come a time where you have

330
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 2: to score to win. Last night they were in a

331
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 2: situation where they didn't have to. There will come a

332
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 2: time where you have to score to wim. My only

333
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 2: point is I do not think the ceiling on this

334
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 2: team is an SEC Championship ceiling with Stetson Bennett being

335
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 2: your permanent quarterback. That's the only point I've made. I

336
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 2: will continue to believe that. Nothing about last night changed

337
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 2: that because you didn't play for an SEC title last night,

338
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 2: so you can be in a really good spot now.

339
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 2: And yet me still believe that, and I do believe it.

340
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 2: And ultimately, and as good as things look last night,

341
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 2: I think Kirby Smart in not so many words, is

342
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 2: suggesting the same thing.

343
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: Ultimately, JT.

344
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 2: Daniels is going to be the guy if Georgia is

345
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 2: to win an SEC championship that does it for this

346
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 2: team this year. Stetson Bennett is playing a role right now,

347
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 2: and it's as crucial a role to keeping things steady

348
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 2: for the time being as JT. Daniels will be eventually

349
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 2: if and when he takes over, because if you'll lost

350
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 2: games right now, it wouldn't really matter down the road,

351
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 2: would it. So it's it's really admirable what he did

352
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 2: last night. I'm just saying my opinion. It's not like

353
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 2: my opinion changed all of a sudden last night. Arkansas

354
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 2: at Auburn this Saturday, Auburn opens is about a sixteen

355
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 2: and a half to seventeen point favorite.

356
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: Tennessee at Georgia Georgia opens.

357
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 2: If you hadn't seen the line, guess along with me,

358
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,239
Speaker 2: what would Georgia be over Tennessee fourteen points?

359
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: That's the spread.

360
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 2: And before we move on, because Jim took the time

361
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 2: to email me, I want to read this little stat

362
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 2: Jim sent me in the email in Bucks. He said, YEA,

363
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 2: a lot of people have been talking about Auburn upsetting us.

364
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 2: A lot of people are talking about Florida upsetting us.

365
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 2: Let me tell you why we as Georgia fans, are

366
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 2: not all that concerned through twelve game. This is impressive

367
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 2: and I did not go fact check this, So I

368
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 2: just trust Jim. Through twelve games, Kirby Smart as either

369
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 2: a head coach or a DC facing Gus Malson as

370
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 2: either a coordinator or head coach. Gus Malson is averaging

371
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 2: nineteen point eight points per game, and that includes a

372
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 2: forty four spot that they hung in twenty fourteen. Kirby

373
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 2: Smart versus Dan mull they faced each other fourteen times.

374
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 2: That's like a couple of careers from most people. Dan

375
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 2: Mullen thirteen points per game. And that is why Jim

376
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 2: says Georgia is not too concerned about either one. Well,

377
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 2: obviously they disposed of the first part of that equation.

378
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 2: You got Florida coming up down the road a little ways.

379
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 2: All right, let's go on. We gotta move, we gotta move.

380
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 2: Alabama fifty two, Texas A and M twenty three. Remember

381
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 2: when we talked last week and we predicted this game.

382
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 2: To me, this is always one of the easier games

383
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 2: in the conference to predict, and yet it's so misleading

384
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 2: because it makes you think, by that tone in my voice,

385
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 2: that A and M's just all they just got terrible roster.

386
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 2: You can run all over them. They don't They got

387
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 2: a top ten roster. In fact, maybe maybe more lofty

388
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 2: than that. But they they're so limited in what they're

389
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 2: capable of because of a number of things we're about

390
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 2: to get into. So I don't think there was any

391
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 2: chance this game was going to end any other way

392
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 2: than what it did. Fifty two to twenty four is

393
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 2: the final. I guess if there's one small thing, if

394
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 2: I go back and look at what we thought, you know,

395
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 2: a projected final score, maybe I'd shave about ten points

396
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 2: off of each team we thought somewhere in the forty

397
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 2: one to thirteen or fourteen range. But as it stands,

398
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 2: Alabama could have scored forever if they wanted to look

399
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 2: at these Oh sick. All right, let's get into this.

400
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 2: If you're listening on the podcast, this means nothing to you.

401
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 2: We're watching footage of the game. So I want to

402
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,479
Speaker 2: reiterate something here before I dive into this. We discuss

403
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 2: Alabama differently on this show. It is boring or should

404
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 2: be boring for everyone if we just sit here and

405
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 2: tell you how great they are. So let me get

406
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 2: that out of the way.

407
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: They're great.

408
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 2: They may we probably have them rated as the number

409
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 2: one team in the country, right now.

410
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: They're splitting hairs right now with what.

411
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 2: They've done and Clemson's done and what we think Ohio

412
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 2: State will do. So anyway, they're one of the very

413
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 2: best teams in the country. So it's a waste of

414
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 2: time just talk about how great they are. So what

415
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 2: we do is we raise the standard significantly. When we

416
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 2: talk about these great teams on this show. It sounds

417
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 2: like we're being pessimist, but we're not. We're just getting

418
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 2: the boring.

419
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: Stuff out of the way, same olcliches stuff. Everyone says.

420
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 2: We really pick these teams apart, and we pick them

421
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 2: apart at a higher degree than we pick apart teams

422
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 2: that are just ranked thirteenth in the country. So quick

423
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 2: accolades Mac Jones excellent game yesterday. Mac Jones, I think

424
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 2: you can make a solid argument is the second best

425
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 2: quarterback that Nick Saban has had at Alabama behind to

426
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 2: a tongue of Iloa, and that includes Jalen Hurts. I

427
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 2: think that Mac Jones gives them a different dynamic and

428
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 2: a different element and a better ability to take advantage

429
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 2: of the plethora still of talent at wide receiver that

430
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 2: they have than Jalen Hurts did.

431
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 1: Pause for a second. Do you understand what I just said?

432
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 2: They lost Jerry Judy to the NFL Draft, Henry Ruggs

433
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 2: to the NFL draft, and to a tongue of Iloa.

434
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 2: Those are three generational type talents that they lost for

435
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 2: a program at one time to the draft.

436
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: Did you watch them yesterday?

437
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 2: If I could have pixelated the receivers and the quarterback

438
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 2: to where you couldn't tell who they are, it would

439
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 2: have looked no different. How thorough a machine of a

440
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 2: program do you have to be?

441
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: Okay?

442
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 2: So you see why that's boring because everyone says that

443
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 2: about Alabama. Okay, So we got the praise out of

444
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 2: the way. John Metchi emerging as a wide receiver. He

445
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 2: was probably ready last year and they were just so loaded.

446
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 2: You didn't know about him from Canada, by the way,

447
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 2: which is what I've colin. Have I not always said

448
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 2: the key to Alabama winning another title is they got

449
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 2: to recruit Canada better.

450
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 1: So they are.

451
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 2: So John Metchi looks good now. Malachai more true freshman,

452
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. Told you about him in the preseason. He's shining.

453
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 2: They got another true freshman behind him and Brian Branch,

454
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 2: who I wouldn't be shocked to see taking some reps

455
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 2: at safety down the road, little cross training. Maybe you know,

456
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 2: some mistackles, some blown assignments.

457
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: Here. There a lot of competition in.

458
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 2: That Alabama secondary, so those things are out of the way.

459
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 2: Let me tell you a couple of things that are

460
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 2: dangerous for Alabama. Certainly not yesterday, but let me tell

461
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 2: you a few things that may be dangerous down the road.

462
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 2: Sometimes I've noticed people have the tendency to watch these

463
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 2: performances like the one Alabama had yesterday, where they score

464
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 2: half on a really good team, and they think, okay, well,

465
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 2: we have better teams coming up. We know we're going

466
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 2: to play Georgia, for example, in a couple of weeks.

467
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 2: But that's okay even though they're good defensively, because here's

468
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 2: what your mind tells you. Your mind tells you, well,

469
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 2: if we scored fifty two on A and M, I

470
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 2: mean certainly we'll be able to score at least thirty

471
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 2: one or thirty five. So you know, let's shave thirty

472
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 2: or forty percent of our production off, we'll still be fine.

473
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 2: That's not the way this sport works. If you're heavily

474
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 2: dependent on one facet of your game. To give you

475
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 2: an extreme example of that. Did you notice the difference

476
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 2: yesterday in Mississippi State versus Week one Mississippi State.

477
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 1: Alabama is certainly not Mississippi State.

478
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 2: But I'm giving you in principle the theory that I'm

479
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 2: offering here, But you have to play someone who meets

480
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 2: what I've always called the freeze point.

481
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 1: A and M doesn't meet the freeze point.

482
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 2: And that's why Alabama just ran up and down the

483
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 2: field like it was a track meet on him yesterday

484
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 2: and could have continued to do it as long as

485
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 2: they want to think about this, That roster for A

486
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 2: and is not far away from Alabama's.

487
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is Alabama is.

488
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 2: Decidedly better, but the gap is not to the degree

489
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 2: that they make it look. But the problem is A

490
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 2: and M doesn't meet the freeze point. The freeze point

491
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 2: is if you take a few cups of water, okay,

492
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 2: and I put them in controlled environments. One of the

493
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 2: environments is twenty six degrees, one of them is twenty

494
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 2: nine degrees. What's going to happen to the cups of water?

495
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 2: They're both going to freeze. The one in the twenty

496
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 2: six degree setting, it'll freeze a little bit quicker, but

497
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 2: they're both going to freeze. Right What is the gap there?

498
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 2: Three degrees difference. But now think about this, if I

499
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 2: put one in thirty one degree conditions and another one

500
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,239
Speaker 2: in thirty three degree conditions, smaller gap, only a two

501
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 2: degree gap. But the one in the thirty one degree

502
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 2: condition is going to freeze. The one in the thirty

503
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 2: three degree condition could sit there until the end of time,

504
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 2: and it's going to be just as liquefied in a

505
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 2: thousand years as it is right now, why is that, Well,

506
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 2: there's this little fresh there's this little threshold at thirty

507
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 2: two degrees. It's pretty important. It's called the freezing point.

508
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 2: And if you're above the free freezing point, it doesn't matter.

509
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 2: The freezing point, as it pertains to college football, is

510
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 2: if you don't have a certain level of disruptive ability

511
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 2: in your defensive front or cover ability on the back end,

512
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter how talented the rest of your roster is.

513
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 2: So you got to meet a certain threshold what I

514
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 2: call the freeze point against a team like Alabama, or

515
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 2: they'll just dissect you.

516
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: But here's what can happen.

517
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 2: Alabama was very subpar running the ball yesterday, so they

518
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 2: were totally dependent on explosive plays, and so they rack

519
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 2: up fifty two points through explosive plays, and you watch

520
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 2: it and you just assume it's going to be there forever.

521
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 2: What happens when you play a team that hits that

522
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 2: freeze point? You got one coming up in two weeks.

523
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 2: I can assure you the Georgia Bulldogs meet the freeze point.

524
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 2: So a Vegas odds maker may tell you, oh, you know,

525
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 2: the best safety in college football is only worth about

526
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 2: two points, the best corner in college football two points,

527
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 2: maybe two and a half points.

528
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 1: In an extreme example, you.

529
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 2: Say, okay, well, let's just shame four or five points

530
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 2: off of fifty two.

531
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 1: What does that get us? We're still scoring in the

532
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: upper forties. Uh huh.

533
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 2: What happens is all of a sudden, all those streaks

534
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 2: and go routes and in and ups that you saw

535
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 2: Alabama just break free on that secondary. What if instead

536
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 2: of a seventy five yard touchdown, it's incomplete, it's second

537
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 2: and ten. You know how big a difference that is

538
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 2: just one of those plays. You know how big a

539
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 2: difference that is what if that happens to you just.

540
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 1: Two or three times.

541
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 2: How do you know the value of playing a team

542
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 2: with a few more players in the secondary that meets

543
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 2: the freeze point, is my question.

544
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: You don't.

545
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 2: But what I can tell you is if you don't

546
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 2: fix that running game, and they will start working on

547
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 2: it in earnest this week, if they don't balance out,

548
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 2: and balancing may mean scoring a few less points, but

549
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 2: if they don't balance out, just like I'm talking about

550
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 2: with Georgia, there's going to come a time this year

551
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 2: where all of a sudden they try and lean on

552
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 2: that explosive play and it's not there. And you don't

553
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 2: have the threat of mobility at quarterback to value out either.

554
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 2: So there's no excuse why Alabama can't run the ball

555
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 2: at a very high level. They got the offensive lineman,

556
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 2: all of them are going to play in the NFL.

557
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 2: They got the running backs, a lot of them are

558
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 2: going to play in the NFL. No excuse why they can't.

559
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 2: They better get it fixed before they play someone who

560
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 2: meets the freeze point in that secondary. Now, as for

561
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 2: A and M kind of saw who they were. I mean,

562
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 2: it's the same thing every year and it feels like

563
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 2: it will be.

564
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: I've said this before and I'll say it again.

565
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 2: The gap looks so big between A and M and

566
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 2: these teams like Clemson when they played them last year,

567
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 2: when they play Alabama. I'm trying to tell you, and

568
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 2: people don't believe this, I guess for obvious reasons. The

569
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 2: gap is not that wide, guys. The gap is wide

570
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 2: at one or two places. If I could take you

571
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 2: to one of these games, and I could take you

572
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 2: down on the field with me, and you could just

573
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,479
Speaker 2: watch Texas A and M get off a bus, if

574
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 2: you could watch them warm up, if you could stand

575
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 2: five feet away from their offensive linemen or their linebackers.

576
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 2: They are massive. They are a huge team. They're so

577
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 2: physically impressive. They look just like Clemson, they look just

578
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 2: like Alabama. What that means is nothing when the game starts.

579
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 2: But what I'm trying to tell tell you is they're

580
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 2: not badly out athleted like you think they are. They're

581
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 2: just a couple of places where they are so deficient

582
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 2: relative to the elites, quarterback being one of them, and

583
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 2: I would argue offensive system in general being another one,

584
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 2: that it makes the gap look insurmountable. Looks like there's

585
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 2: a grand canyon, when in reality it's.

586
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: Like a creek.

587
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 2: But then at one or two very important parts of

588
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 2: your team, it's a grand canyon, which is what makes

589
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 2: Nick Saban so impressive. Before I move on here, think

590
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 2: about the difference between Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher. Nick

591
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 2: Saban was at the very height of the best dynasty

592
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 2: in the history of this sport. In all likelihood, he

593
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 2: was number one or number one A. And that's the

594
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 2: altitude he and Alabama have cruised at. And he was

595
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 2: right in the middle of that run and he hit

596
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 2: the reset button. They didn't have this huge failure of

597
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 2: a season. He hit the reset button around twenty fourteen.

598
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 2: He realized we got to change offensively. What so he's

599
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 2: number one and then they change everything, which no one

600
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 2: ever does. You normally have to fail before people say

601
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 2: all right, well we got to change everything. Nick Saban's

602
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 2: on top, and he says, you know what, I think

603
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 2: I'll just remake my program entirely. And now today they're

604
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 2: a better version of Oklahoma than Oklahoma's ever been when

605
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 2: you watch how thoroughly they dismantle people. And so what's

606
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 2: the difference between he and Jimbo Fisher. Nick Saban was

607
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 2: number one and chose to change everything.

608
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: Jimbo Fisher was.

609
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 2: Number one at one time in twenty thirteen and chose

610
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 2: to put roots down. And nothing has changed since then

611
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 2: about Jimbo Fisher. Nothing has changed about his offense because

612
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 2: he figured I've arrived. It's obvious. I figured it out.

613
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 2: This will work now, it'll work forever. And that's not

614
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 2: the way sport works. That's not the way any sport works,

615
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 2: much less this sport. So I know a lot of

616
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 2: you yesterday and this morning, a lot of you are saying,

617
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 2: seventy five million dollars, we should be getting so much

618
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 2: more than this for seventy five million dollars. I don't

619
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 2: care if you pay him seventy five billion dollars. An

620
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 2: increase in salary does not guarantee an increase in production.

621
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 2: Like if if Colin is making seven to fifty an

622
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 2: hour over here, and all of a sudden I put

623
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 2: him in charge of A and M and I pay

624
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 2: him one hundred million. Am I going to get mad

625
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 2: at Colin when all of a sudden they're not winning

626
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 2: national titles? No, Collin's Colin's never done that before. Why

627
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 2: would I expect him to do it now just because

628
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 2: I put more money in his lap. I should be

629
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 2: more mad at the mirror than I should be at Colin.

630
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 2: So Jimbo Fishers won a national title before. But the

631
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,239
Speaker 2: point is Jembo's doing it the exact same way he's

632
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 2: always done it. It's just his way doesn't work anymore,

633
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 2: at least against the elite teams.

634
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 1: They'll win eighty.

635
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 2: Percent of their game, seventy five eighty percent of their games.

636
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 2: But you're mad because you're paying top dollar. You want

637
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 2: top dollar results. Don't be mad at the dude for

638
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 2: doing exactly what he's always done. Be mad at yourself

639
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 2: because you just had a lot of money so you

640
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 2: decided to throw it at him. That's my that's my

641
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 2: only takeaway from Jimbo Fisher. Tennessee made us look bad boy,

642
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 2: but I was not all that sad to see it happen.

643
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 2: So we thought that Missouri would give Tennessee a really

644
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 2: big fight yesterday, and none of that ever materialized. Some games,

645
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 2: when you pick them, maybe just straight up or against

646
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 2: the spread. Sometimes you watch it and you know you're

647
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 2: like minus four turnovers, and there's just some sloppy play.

648
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 2: But all in all, you watch, you say, you know what,

649
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 2: I'd make the same pick today. If these teams played again,

650
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 2: I'd make the same pick. Well that was not the case.

651
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: Yesterday.

652
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 2: Tennessee thoroughly dismantled Missouri. And it was about five or

653
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 2: six minutes into the game I realized, till, boy, well

654
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 2: we're in for a long afternoon here. We love Missouri

655
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 2: plus ten and a half, and I don't love it

656
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 2: so much looking back on it. But just remember why,

657
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 2: because I want to talk about how impressive this was

658
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 2: the reason why we loved Missouri so much. Part of

659
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 2: it was situational. Tennessee still a team that's very much

660
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 2: coalescing and gelling. They were coming off an emotional last

661
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 2: minute win at South Carolina, they got a huge.

662
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:46,959
Speaker 1: One on deck against Georgia.

663
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 2: Just figured, I mean, they'd be happy to get out

664
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 2: of here with a win by any means necessary. I

665
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 2: really thought it'd be one of those dog fight, gotta

666
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,479
Speaker 2: scrap it out into the very kind of games. I

667
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 2: also thought that Missouri was plenty good enough at safety

668
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 2: to where the weren't going to be very many explosive plays.

669
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 2: So Tennessee was gonna have to deconduct their way down

670
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 2: the field, they were gonna have to run the ball steadily,

671
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 2: and it was gonna be a much ten to fifteen

672
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 2: play drives, and so that normally doesn't make.

673
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: For a blowout game. It's what I'm saying.

674
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 2: Well, Tennessee absolutely did that, and it did make for

675
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 2: a blowout game. They owned it, and they also showed

676
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 2: plenty of room for improvement, which is what gives you

677
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 2: confidence if you're a Tennessee fan. Defensive front consistency. I'm

678
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 2: sure they want to see get better. They get Bryce

679
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 2: Thompson back in a more full role this week. He

680
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 2: was I think they played him on like third downs

681
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 2: and dime personnel situations this past week, but as one of,

682
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 2: if not the best players they have in their secondary

683
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 2: and secondary gave up some explosive plays yesterday.

684
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: So a lot of room for improvement.

685
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 2: But I did want to mention by the way Kenneth

686
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 2: George played a lot in Thompson's absence.

687
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys know this, Tennessee fans

688
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: probably do.

689
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 2: Kenneth George, who is playing football for the University of

690
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 2: Tennessee right now, like meaningful downs, he didn't play high

691
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 2: school football. Kenneth George flat out didn't play high school football.

692
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 2: Think about how insane mainly talented you have to be

693
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 2: to play in the SEC if you did play pee

694
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 2: wee middle school in high school football.

695
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: Kenneth George just said football, college football. I guess I'll

696
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: give it a try.

697
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 2: And now he's playing and playing at a pretty good

698
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 2: level too, so he's not a charity case.

699
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: So Jeremy Proot made a.

700
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 2: Point to point that out after the game yesterday, so

701
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 2: I wanted to point it out here. We got to

702
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 2: stop moving the goal posts. Not literally that would be cheating,

703
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 2: but figuratively. A lot of people keep moving the goal

704
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 2: post on teams like Tennessee. I get so tired of it.

705
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 2: So like Florida plays Old Miss in Week one, Florida

706
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 2: exceeds expectation.

707
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: In Week one, I praised Florida.

708
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 2: All I got in return was, well, it was just

709
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 2: all miss Like I didn't know who they played, so

710
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 2: sure enough it happens here. Tennessee plays Missouri. I thought

711
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 2: they handled in a very mature manner, a lot of

712
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 2: situational dynamics that have taken down a lot of teams

713
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 2: before and Will afterwards, and they handled them pretty flawlessly,

714
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 2: and I was impressed by it. They were so dominant

715
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 2: along the lines of scrimmage, they were so efficient offensively

716
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 2: running backs. Both of those guys, Chandler and Gray looked

717
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 2: very good. That's what you need to see from them.

718
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: Every week.

719
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 2: They have asked that team to be the most physical

720
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 2: offense in the SEC. They look every bit the part.

721
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 2: So my point is they took care of business. They

722
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 2: did what they were supposed to. I don't take it

723
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 2: for granted when teams do what they're supposed to, because

724
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 2: how many of them do we see every week not

725
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 2: do what they're supposed to.

726
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: But lo and behold.

727
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 2: As sure as you pointed out, all you get is

728
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 2: what it's Missouri. Yeah, I know who it was. But

729
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 2: you're saying that in retrospect, like you expected a blow

730
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,239
Speaker 2: out ahead of time. And I would ask you if

731
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 2: you did screenshot your bet slip, show me the paycheck

732
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 2: that you bet on Tennessee, since you were so sure

733
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 2: of it.

734
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: I don't think you did. It's just easy to say

735
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: that after the fact. It was. You know, here's what

736
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: we can do.

737
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 2: We can go back and tell LSU in week one, Oh,

738
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 2: it was Mississippi State. They didn't say that because they

739
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 2: got their tailkicked. Do you know yesterday? Does Oklahoma know

740
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 2: it was just Iowa State?

741
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: Do they know that? I don't think they. I don't

742
00:31:59,000 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: think they know that.

743
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 2: For that matter, does Mississippi State know that it was

744
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 2: just Arkansas? It's just Arkansas? You played yesterday? Anyone saying that, No,

745
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 2: because they didn't take care of business. Don't care how

746
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 2: big a favorite they were. So Tennessee did so. I

747
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 2: give credit where it's due. Remember, just to reiterate as

748
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 2: we enter Tennessee Georgia week, remember what we said. The

749
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 2: big ask for Tennessee was a coaching staff I think

750
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 2: has asked them to do something that most teams aren't

751
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 2: capable of, and that is we do not have a

752
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 2: bona fide All American quarterback. We don't have this depth

753
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 2: receiver that the likes of Alabama do. But what we

754
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 2: do have is we've got an incredible offensive line. They

755
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 2: got four former five star players on that offensive line.

756
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 2: You may look and think they have roster def asits elsewhere.

757
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 2: This offensive line is premier. It is every bit what

758
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 2: you would expect to exist at Alabama or Georgia for

759
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 2: that matter, since they're playing in Georgia this week. Every

760
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 2: bit that offensive line is capable of putting on every

761
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 2: bit the performance physically that Georgia did last night against

762
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 2: AUBURNE in fact did yesterday. It was just in a

763
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 2: lesser profile game. Those teams play this week. And I

764
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,479
Speaker 2: want to leave you with this. Everyone is still in

765
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 2: this mood to talk about how big a roster disadvantage

766
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 2: Tennessee has. Just to give you a little comparative analysis.

767
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 2: Georgia played at Auburn yesterday, george plays Tennessee this week.

768
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,719
Speaker 2: What you would think is Auburn decided to be better

769
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 2: roster than Tennessee.

770
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: That's what you think.

771
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 2: I looked at the twenty four seven Sports Team Talent Composite,

772
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 2: which is essentially just a rating of how much raw

773
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 2: talent you have on your roster using former recruiting rankings.

774
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 2: Auburn's number thirteen in the country right now, where you

775
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,959
Speaker 2: think Tennessee is twenty fifth, thirtieth thirty fifth, Auburn's thirteenth,

776
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 2: Tennessee is fourteenth. Those are pretty identical rosters at this point,

777
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 2: already pretty identical rosters. So at that point you got

778
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 2: to ask who's doing a better job of developing, who

779
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 2: has a better game plan, who looks like they have

780
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 2: their act together. That's rhetorical. I'll let you answer that.

781
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 2: Let's move on, Colin. Let's take a very very brief stroll,

782
00:33:58,440 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 2: because that's all that it deserves.

783
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 1: I'm to be given out West just a hair.

784
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 2: The big twelve is so average right now it hurts,

785
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 2: but it's so average right now. It was a big now,

786
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 2: let me as much as it's average, it was a

787
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 2: big night for myself, and it was a big night

788
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 2: for myself and cyclone Nation. And if you're listening on

789
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 2: the podcast, you can't see it, but I'm holding up

790
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 2: one of I want to say, seven Iowa state shirts.

791
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: Fucking how pretty those colors are? They just pop that.

792
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 2: I was sending the mail the other day and a

793
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 2: lot of you always trying to figure out what team

794
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 2: I root for, and like thirty percent of you think

795
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 2: Georgia and twenty eight percent of you think Auburn in

796
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 2: Tennessee and Alabama.

797
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,240
Speaker 1: And the thing about it is, you don't have to guess.

798
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here, I'm holding up a T shirt right now.

799
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:43,879
Speaker 1: Well it's backwards there. It is.

800
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 2: That's who I was pulling for yesterday. Iowa state. You

801
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 2: don't have to guess, I'll tell you. Your piece came out,

802
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 2: so we hashtag we and all Caps beat Oklahoma yesterday

803
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 2: thirty seven to thirty, TCU over Texas thirty three to

804
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,240
Speaker 2: thirty one. I was just talking about the team talent

805
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 2: composite rating. Let me go back to that for just

806
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 2: a second. Do you understand how loaded Texas is from

807
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 2: a roster standpoint? This is, Oh boy, it's inexplicable. Texas

808
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 2: is number five in America in the team talent composite

809
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 2: rating right now, and they just lost their sixth out

810
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,359
Speaker 2: of seven against Gary Patterson and TCU, who sit at

811
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 2: twenty eight comparatively in that team talent composite rating. Just

812
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 2: shockingly bad, shockingly bad consistently considering how loaded their roster is.

813
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 2: I ran a poll yesterday, which I don't normally do,

814
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 2: but Twitter has the function, so I said, hey, why not?

815
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 1: Now?

816
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 2: This poll probably not scientific, I'll grant you that, And

817
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 2: it was right after Texas had lost, but I put

818
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 2: a pole up. Pretend you're a Texas fan, or just

819
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 2: pretend you're a neutral observer. Here's what the poll said.

820
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 2: The poll was, all right, let's say I tell you

821
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 2: you get to run Texas for the next decade. I'm

822
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 2: gonna give you two options for who your head coach

823
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 2: can be, and you get to choose whichever one you

824
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 2: want right now. But the only caveat is the only

825
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 2: condition that I put in there was whoever you picked,

826
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:08,879
Speaker 2: you have to keep them for at least the next

827
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 2: six years. Option number one is Tom Herman, current head

828
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 2: coach at Texas. Option number two was Lane Kiffin. This

829
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 2: was before Ole Miss won last night. By the way,

830
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 2: what do you think the totals were there? The totals

831
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 2: were eighty three percent mister Kiffin, seventeen percent Tom Herman

832
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 2: over four out of five of you. And I got

833
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 2: a lot of Texas followers, by the way, I think

834
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 2: a lot of them went Kiffin. So four out of

835
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 2: five of you said give me Kiffin in Austin.

836
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: Wow.

837
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 2: So they win in miracle fashion two weeks ago in

838
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 2: Texas Tech and you figure, Okay, that's the reprieve we

839
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 2: need if we're Texas. So now we'll get it right

840
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 2: and we'll look back on that game and that's where

841
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 2: everything turned. Nope, same comedy of errors, same litany of penalties,

842
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 2: same miscues, same everything. They had double digit penalties again

843
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 2: in this game versus TCU. Situational awareness was beyond horrible.

844
00:36:57,719 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 2: So you know what happened. I don't need to go

845
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 2: down that road Oklahoma. You know, I wasn't nearly surprised

846
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 2: at Oklahoma losing at Iowa State because we didn't even

847
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 2: pick them to go to the Big Twelve title game.

848
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 2: There are obvious deficiencies on this Oklahoma team, so we

849
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 2: don't even think they're one of the two best teams

850
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 2: in the Big Twelve. We don't think they're ultimately going

851
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 2: to make it to the Big Twelve title game. First

852
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:20,760
Speaker 2: loss in ames Iowa to my Cyclones since nineteen sixty,

853
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,439
Speaker 2: glaring holes in several spots on this team. I don't

854
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 2: think they're done losing Their quarterback, Spencer Ratler, has a

855
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 2: rocket for an arm and everything else about their offense

856
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 2: is very green, defensively, totally lacking of an identity. I

857
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 2: had high hopes for Alex Grinch and listen, maybe they

858
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 2: still fulfill all that, but you could be the best

859
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 2: coordinator in America right now. I just don't think they

860
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 2: have the pieces in the cupboard. I think that's pretty obvious.

861
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 2: So I told you as.

862
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 1: A Sooner fan.

863
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 2: If you're a Sooner fan last week, I said, you

864
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 2: got every reason to be irate because the sport is

865
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 2: tilted in your favor. This is not the NFL. You

866
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,240
Speaker 2: shouldn't have two and three year rebuilding phases. You should

867
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,839
Speaker 2: dominate every year, or be no more than one year

868
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 2: away from dominating. And that's not where they are right now.

869
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,799
Speaker 2: Oh ironically, these teams play each other this week. The

870
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 2: Red River Shootout, as we still call it here, opens

871
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 2: with Oklahoma as a two and a half point favorite.

872
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 2: If you want to be brave enough out there to

873
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 2: gamble money on this game, I'm not gonna be there

874
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 2: with you. But if you do bet on this game,

875
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 2: if you think you have an angle, all I want

876
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 2: you to do is tell me what it is. Because

877
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 2: anyone out there who thinks they have a discernible angle

878
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 2: on how this thing plays out more than what a

879
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 2: coin would tell you just a coin flip, I want

880
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 2: you to send it to me because I don't think,

881
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 2: for the life of me, there's any skill in betting

882
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,760
Speaker 2: this game. I have no idea what kind of angle

883
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 2: you could have with so many turnovers that are likely

884
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 2: to happen, penalties, all sorts of garbage that happens in

885
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 2: a football game, but makes it very unpredictable. I don't

886
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 2: know what kind of angle you could have. So Texas

887
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 2: Oklahoma Saturday, let's have at it. Meanwhile, Oklahoma State, it's

888
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 2: kind of cruising along. Undefeated, Iowa State undefeated in conference

889
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 2: Playsia last check.

890
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: Not in the Big twelve.

891
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 2: All right, we got several other takeaways, So let's just

892
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 2: go all around the country here. Florida thirty eight, South

893
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 2: Carolina twenty four South Carolina, Oh boy, six for seventeen

894
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 2: on third down.

895
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: They were five or six on fourth.

896
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 2: Down though yesterday eighty three plays South Carolina ran.

897
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:19,479
Speaker 1: Now that doesn't matter.

898
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 2: They don't give you points for plays, but it's gonna

899
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 2: matter in just a second for something I'm about to

900
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 2: tell you. Florida ran fifty three of them, largely made

901
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 2: the most out of them for South Carolina.

902
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:28,359
Speaker 1: It was really good.

903
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 2: There's been a lot to talk Marshn Lloyd out for

904
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 2: the season at running back.

905
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:32,919
Speaker 1: Who's gonna fill the void? Well?

906
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 2: Kevin Harris's admirable performance yesterday, twenty two runs for one

907
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 2: hundred yards, so they still have a waves to go.

908
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 2: There's too many holes to really count on the South

909
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 2: Carolina team, but Florida's got a big one this week.

910
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 2: Florida goes to Texas A and M. Texas A and

911
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 2: M is in what we like to call wounded animal mode.

912
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 2: A and M season for all intents and purposes, is

913
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 2: already on the line if they want to have a

914
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 2: hope of contending in the West or doing anything, you know,

915
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,360
Speaker 2: being one of those teams who vultures a playoffs spot

916
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 2: out of the eventual mess that.

917
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: Ends up at the end of the season.

918
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 2: They gotta win out probably, but they definitely have to

919
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 2: win Saturday. Florida ran eighty three plays in this game.

920
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:15,240
Speaker 2: Florida ran eighty three plays. And also, if you watch them,

921
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 2: that depth situation a little bit concerning in the secondary.

922
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 2: Their inability to get disruption and put pressure on a

923
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 2: quarterback up front also concerning because that keeps you on the.

924
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 1: Field and listen.

925
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 2: As bad as that final score for A and M

926
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 2: and Alabama looks, I don't think Kellen Mond played half

927
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 2: bad against Alabama.

928
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 1: He didn't get any help.

929
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 2: Their best receiver is a running back right now, But

930
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 2: you know two things. I think I think Florida can

931
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 2: score easily against that secondary of A and M. I

932
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 2: also think A and M can do a little work

933
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 2: against Florida, because if South Carolina can, I can tell

934
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 2: you A and M can. Arkansas twenty one, Mississippi State fourteen.

935
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 2: In the Year of Our Lord twenty twenty. Does anyone

936
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 2: remember how long ago was it Colin four years or

937
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:57,359
Speaker 2: six years ago?

938
00:40:58,080 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 1: No? No, no, no, Actually it was last week.

939
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 2: It was seve days ago when everyone was talking about the

940
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 2: air raid takeover. Your word's not mine of the sec Well,

941
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's still happening. I haven't gotten

942
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,399
Speaker 2: latest notification. It's at least on pause for one week.

943
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:16,720
Speaker 2: So we told you that as congratulatory as you wanted

944
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 2: to be towards Mississippi State, and you should have been.

945
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 2: In week one, they went on the road and they

946
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 2: beat the LSU Tigers, and that's all great. What did

947
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,839
Speaker 2: we tell you about the outcome? We did not view

948
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 2: it as having any value as it relates to what

949
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 2: the future holds. We took it and when it comes

950
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 2: to valuing it for future projection, we wadded it up

951
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 2: and we threw it in the trash can because there

952
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 2: were so many unique factors to that game that will

953
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 2: never exist in any other game. Mississippi State plays. A

954
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 2: lot of you got mad. A lot of you said

955
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 2: I was just trying to rain on their parade.

956
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: No I wasn't. I was happy with the parade.

957
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 2: After the parade was over, I just wanted to pull

958
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 2: you to the side and say, and if you wonder

959
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 2: why I'm not quite on board with you on this

960
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 2: float here, this is why. And we gave you the

961
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 2: old crowbar analogy. The crowbar when it comes to a

962
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 2: Mike Leach offense is you don't slow it down. It

963
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:07,439
Speaker 2: doesn't go from scoring forty four to just scoring thirty three.

964
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 1: That's not how it happens.

965
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,360
Speaker 2: You're either scoring forty four to forty five points or

966
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 2: you're scoring like ten to fourteen cause someone takes the

967
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 2: crow bar and they get it in the bicycle spokes.

968
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 2: And Arkansas got the crowbar in the bicycle spokes. Yesterday

969
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 2: they did this funny thing. It's this new concept. I

970
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 2: don't know if you guys have heard about it, but

971
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 2: it's this new defensive thing that some coordinators have figured out,

972
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,800
Speaker 2: and they call it zone defense.

973
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 1: It's what they call it zone.

974
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 2: Zne and what you do, apparently is you just go

975
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 2: to a predetermined spot and sit there.

976
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: It's crazy.

977
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 2: I don't know if both Polini's heard about it, but

978
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 2: I can tell you Barry otom and the guys at

979
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 2: Arkansas took a fraction of the talent that LSU has

980
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 2: on its roster, even after being gutted by opt outs

981
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,240
Speaker 2: in the draft, and said, oh, we're.

982
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:54,279
Speaker 1: Cool, we'll handle it here.

983
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:59,280
Speaker 2: How many plays, pray teal did Mississipi State run yesterday

984
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 2: to score those fourteen points?

985
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: Eighty four?

986
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 2: All they did Arkansas being they is sitting an umbrella

987
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 2: all night and said take it, take the underneath stuff

988
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 2: all night, do whatever you want to. You are not

989
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 2: going over the top of us. And then we're just

990
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 2: gonna crunch you once you get down in here, and

991
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 2: you're not gonna kick a field goal, so we'll win.

992
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 2: We'll win that way. And they did eighty four plays

993
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 2: to score fourteen points efficiency. It is not Arkansas defensive back,

994
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 2: by the way, I forgot who it was, but there

995
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 2: was an Arkansas defensive back after this game who was asked, essentially,

996
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 2: how did you do what LSU couldn't do? And he said, well,

997
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 2: you know, really, it wasn't all that hard because we

998
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 2: kind of knew what was.

999
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:39,359
Speaker 1: Coming, what show was it last week?

1000
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 2: And I don't take credit for this because listen, Jimmy Lake,

1001
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 2: now the head coach at Washington, he's been out on

1002
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 2: the West Coast just openly saying this, not anonymously, he's

1003
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 2: just openly been saying for years, they're not that hard

1004
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 2: to defend.

1005
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: We know what's coming every week, like every year we

1006
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 1: play and when we dominate them.

1007
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 2: And so someone popped on some Washington tape during the

1008
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 2: week and said, well, we could do that even though

1009
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 2: we can do that, and.

1010
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 1: They did it.

1011
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,919
Speaker 2: So the air raid takeover on hold for at least

1012
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 2: one week, as is Central Florida's entry into the college

1013
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 2: football playoff, because as as much as they may be

1014
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 2: the best team in Florida, they were the second best

1015
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 2: team in Orlando last night. I've been waiting twenty four

1016
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 2: hours to say it. Tulsa thirty four, Central Florida twenty six.

1017
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 2: A twenty one game home win streak snapped just like that,

1018
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 2: anyone anyone in the room. Last home loss for Central

1019
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 2: Florida it was twenty sixteen, and it was Tulsa. Eighteen

1020
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 2: penalties in this game, by the way, eighteen that's rough.

1021
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 2: That's a bad month for some teams. Eighteen penalties for

1022
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 2: Central Florida. Playoff shot probably done. However, to his credit,

1023
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,439
Speaker 2: he is nothing if not consistent. Quarterback Dylan Gabriel after

1024
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 2: the game. I don't know what the context was. I

1025
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 2: don't know who asked him. I just heard the sound

1026
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 2: bite he confirmed they still are the best team in

1027
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 2: the state of Florida. We'll just let that be your

1028
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:01,240
Speaker 2: little secret. Dylan moving on Oklahoma the state so quietly,

1029
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 2: So quietly. Mike Gundhy putting on, of all things, defensive

1030
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,879
Speaker 2: clinics in the Big twelve now forty seven to seven

1031
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 2: a win over Kansas. This is not a game we're

1032
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:13,360
Speaker 2: gonna spit more than forty five seconds on. However, I

1033
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:15,359
Speaker 2: do want to just frame this up a little bit.

1034
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 2: A lot of people punted on the old Cowboys after

1035
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 2: their Week one struggle win against Tulsa. Well, that Tulsa

1036
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 2: team just took care of Central Florida. So it's funny

1037
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 2: how we recontextualize things once we get a little more

1038
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 2: perspective and we move further into the season. Everyone's Week

1039
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,760
Speaker 2: one narratives are shaped on a perception that you built

1040
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 2: out of thin air and preview magazines, and sometimes we

1041
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 2: learn our preconceived notions about teams were wrong. So you

1042
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 2: thought Tulsa was trash, Therefore, since they struggled with them,

1043
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:48,280
Speaker 2: they must be trash, you know, transitive trash. Well, now

1044
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 2: we see Oklahoma State still with a gooseg and the

1045
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 2: lost column, looking like the best team in the Big

1046
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 2: Twelve right now, and they don't play a high profile

1047
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 2: opponent this week, they have a buye and then they

1048
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 2: go to Baylor, IWA State, Texas at Kansas State. What's

1049
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,880
Speaker 2: going to happen in the Big twelve. Anyone's guess a

1050
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 2: lot of average football out there. And to be honest

1051
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 2: with you, I have no clue what the ceiling is

1052
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:11,919
Speaker 2: for that Oklahoma State team, but we did predict them

1053
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 2: to at least be in the Big Twelve championship game.

1054
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 2: We have a very very important announcement to make here. Well,

1055
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 2: the first one is we're begging you to subscribe to

1056
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 2: the channel. So that's not really an announcement, that's just

1057
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:25,879
Speaker 2: to plead do it. It's free. We had a great

1058
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 2: week last week. We hope to duplicate that this week.

1059
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 2: We earlier today on Twitter at Late Kick Josh. If

1060
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 2: you haven't already followed me, please do so. A lot

1061
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 2: of you have, thank you for that, having a lot

1062
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 2: of fun going back and forth with about ninety four

1063
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 2: percent of you. The other six percent, you guys have

1064
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 2: some work to do. Guys, you need to do some

1065
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 2: soul searching. And I don't care. I'll still open those dms.

1066
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 2: But you know, I had someone last night reach out

1067
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:50,320
Speaker 2: because we went one in four on our plays yesterday,

1068
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:52,879
Speaker 2: so we're back to five hundred regrettably.

1069
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: Don't worry. We're undeterred.

1070
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 2: Had someone reach out last night and say, hey, man,

1071
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:58,879
Speaker 2: I can help you. In fact, here's one for free.

1072
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 2: Take Oklahoma min seven and a half, put ten units

1073
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:05,400
Speaker 2: on it. I haven't heard from that person today. Internet

1074
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 2: troubles maybe, I don't know. But we've already got our

1075
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 2: early best bet for week six and it is Florida

1076
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,879
Speaker 2: International minus four and a half. In fact, there it is,

1077
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 2: Colin rolls out the Ramanudel Express graphic. We're taking Florida

1078
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 2: International now, if you'll recall, we've already taken them once.

1079
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 2: This is a team we feel like we just have

1080
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,959
Speaker 2: a pretty good read on they are playing Middle Tennessee State.

1081
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,280
Speaker 1: We grabbed this as soon as it opened.

1082
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 2: So why it's important to follow me on Twitter because

1083
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 2: by the time we came on the air tonight, this

1084
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 2: was already five and a half or six at some places,

1085
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:35,760
Speaker 2: so we got.

1086
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 1: It at four and a half.

1087
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 2: We have them winning by well over a touchdown, so

1088
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 2: we cross several key numbers here and getting this number

1089
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 2: early FIU minus.

1090
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:44,800
Speaker 1: Four and a half.

1091
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 2: Remember to follow me because I tweeted I think three

1092
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 2: of our six out last week, including one on Saturday morning.

1093
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 2: Obviously that came after the last show of the week,

1094
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 2: so it's not always a guarantee that I'm just releasing them.

1095
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:56,399
Speaker 1: On the show.

1096
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 2: You'll find them on the show, but sometimes I put

1097
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:00,760
Speaker 2: them on the podcast or I release them on Twitter,

1098
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:01,839
Speaker 2: so make sure you follow me on there.

1099
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 1: Just some other notable lines before we get out of here.

1100
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 2: For those of you who have watched the NFL today

1101
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 2: and so you hadn't really checked out the opening college

1102
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:13,279
Speaker 2: football numbers, Alabama is a twenty four point favorite at

1103
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 2: ol Miss. I don't know if you agree with me,

1104
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 2: but if I were an Alabama fan, I don't know

1105
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 2: why Old miss would make me more nervous than Texas

1106
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 2: A and M.

1107
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:24,240
Speaker 1: And also I want to pause.

1108
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 2: Colin and I were talking about this in the break room.

1109
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 2: Do you understand how big a knife fight the SEC

1110
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 2: is this year? Do you understand how hard it is

1111
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 2: to navigate your way through this league this year?

1112
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 1: I want you to think about something.

1113
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:40,840
Speaker 2: You know how some people say big twelve offenses and

1114
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,920
Speaker 2: there's just this monolith out there where everyone runs a

1115
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 2: version of.

1116
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 1: The same thing.

1117
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 2: Could anyone tell me what an SEC offense is? Cause

1118
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 2: let me tell you what Alabama's about to have to do.

1119
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:53,399
Speaker 2: They're going to go to Oxford, Mississippi, Saturday, and they're

1120
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,319
Speaker 2: going to face Lane Kiffin, who may throw the ball

1121
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 2: ninety five times. They have Georgia seven days later, and

1122
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 2: then see seven days after that. You want to know

1123
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:04,799
Speaker 2: why they hire an army of analysts. You know why

1124
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 2: Nick Saban has like Mike Stoops and Butcher Jones and

1125
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 2: Charlie Strong, He's got Steve Sarkish, He's got all these

1126
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:13,720
Speaker 2: former head coaches just kind of tucked away in cubby holes.

1127
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:15,799
Speaker 1: That's why, Because you.

1128
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 2: Got to prepare for that seven days gap between playing

1129
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 2: Old Miss and then playing Georgia. So anyway, Bama's got

1130
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 2: a twenty four point edge, or at least that's what

1131
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 2: they're favorite by against the Old Miss Tennessee at Georgia.

1132
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 2: As we said, the Bulldogs open at fourteen. We're previewing

1133
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 2: that game in long form Tuesday night. Make sure you're

1134
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 2: here for that. Miami plays Clemson this week. Clemson did

1135
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:40,880
Speaker 2: not look nearly as impressive as a lot of you

1136
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 2: expected them to against Virginia last night. By the way,

1137
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:46,359
Speaker 2: that's probably their one semi struggle game per year.

1138
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 1: It's like clockwork.

1139
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 2: Clemson opens it's a fifteen point favorite against Miami at

1140
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 2: home Texas sou We told you Oklahoma is a two

1141
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 2: and a half point favorite. There, good luck picking up.

1142
00:49:58,040 --> 00:49:59,840
Speaker 2: And this one's really interesting. I got to do some

1143
00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 2: more deep diving on this one. We're gonna break this

1144
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,359
Speaker 2: one down in long form Tuesday night too. Florida at

1145
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 2: Texas A and M. If you have not looked at

1146
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:09,399
Speaker 2: this point spread yet, what would you guess Florida at

1147
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:13,400
Speaker 2: Texas A and M. We are giving I think the

1148
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 2: standard right now is about one and a half points

1149
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:20,320
Speaker 2: for home field advantage. So Florida is favored by six points.

1150
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 2: I think it's floated between five and six at Texas

1151
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 2: A and M.

1152
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 1: And just think about this for a second, think.

1153
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 2: About the fact that Florida has struggled getting pressure on quarterbacks.

1154
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not highlighting my pick here yet. I

1155
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 2: haven't even taken a dive into the game yet. But

1156
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:39,800
Speaker 2: I just I wonder about that one, because at first glance,

1157
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 2: I thought Florida and I may still land Florida. Talking

1158
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 2: about laying the points, I think there's some things to

1159
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:47,800
Speaker 2: like matchup wise for A and M just a little.

1160
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:50,440
Speaker 2: There are some glaring matchup advantages for Florida too, though,

1161
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 2: so we will break all those down Tuesday night. Tuesday

1162
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 2: Night is our previews special, and then we do a

1163
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 2: lot more predictions on Thursday, but we like to get

1164
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 2: ahead of the crowd by about twenty four hours do

1165
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 2: all that Tuesday. Remember, if you're here and you haven't

Speaker 2: already subscribed to the channel, click the bill for notifications.

1167
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 2: And I see a lot of you. I see some

1168
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 2: people in the live chat right now who saw what

1169
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 2: I put on Twitter last night. I mean what I

1170
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 2: said and what I said last night which was controversial,

1171
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:18,200
Speaker 2: but it shouldn't have been is Tennessee and Georgia is

1172
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:20,880
Speaker 2: going to be everything that you wanted Auburn Georgia to be.

1173
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 2: Some people took that to me and I'm predicting Tennessee

1174
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:25,319
Speaker 2: to beat Georgia. That's not what that is. What it

1175
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 2: is is you expected Georgia Auburn to be a two

1176
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 2: way blood bath, and in a way it was just

1177
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 2: a one way bloodbath.

1178
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:36,399
Speaker 1: Well, this will be more a two way blood bath

1179
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 1: because you.

1180
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,839
Speaker 2: Got a lot more evenly matched teams along the lines

1181
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:41,799
Speaker 2: of scrimmage. A lot of people are going to look

1182
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:44,840
Speaker 2: in totality at Tennessee and say they don't have the

1183
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:46,279
Speaker 2: roster that Georgia has.

1184
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:46,880
Speaker 1: They don't.

1185
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 2: You're right, this isn't a roster versus roster. Deals, matchups,

1186
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,399
Speaker 2: styles make fights. You know that whole cliche. So look

1187
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:55,799
Speaker 2: at it. You know, Tennessee, for instance, may have some

1188
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 2: vulnerabilities in the secondary. Are they playing a team Saturday

1189
00:51:58,760 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 2: that's built to exposure?

1190
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:01,759
Speaker 1: We will Georgia even have to throw the ball they

1191
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 1: short it in last night.

1192
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:06,319
Speaker 2: Can Tennessee stand up against that offensive line a lot

1193
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 2: better than Auburn?

1194
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:07,399
Speaker 1: Did?

1195
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:10,879
Speaker 2: I think so? To what degree? We'll determine how close

1196
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 2: that game is. The other question as I leave you

1197
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 2: here because this is not the preview show. If I

1198
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 2: were to tell you that Jarrett Garantano is going to

1199
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 2: play a largely mistake free game, which I think is

1200
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 2: a big stretch. With how contested Georgia makes everything defensively,

1201
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 2: I think it's a big stretch to guess that much

1202
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 2: less assume it. But if I were to tell you

1203
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 2: in closing Tennessee's going to be equal or plus in

1204
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 2: the turnover column, would that change anything? I think it's

1205
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:41,680
Speaker 2: fair to expect Tennessee to be minus in the turnover battle.

1206
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:44,480
Speaker 2: So just some things to marinate on as we enter

1207
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 2: a big time week in college football and in the

1208
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:50,280
Speaker 2: SEC in general. We finally get to preview an ACC

1209
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 2: game coming up this week that involves Clemson, so that'll

1210
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:54,960
Speaker 2: be fun. It's only a couple times a year that happens.

1211
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 2: Got a lot of live viewers tonight, Thank you so much.
